this week on the program. Well, April comes to an end with a chat about, well, I almost
said one of the all-time greats, but absolutely not. It's Rampage 2018. I'm Andrew Jupin.
Elbino Steve Sadek. Elbino, Eric Siska. Quite Chris Cabin.
And we, Ape Movies.
Hello,
End of April brings us, well, doing something a little bit different with the programming here.
2018's Rampage, directed by Brad Peyton, who you may know.
I don't know him.
Just another rock stooge.
He's more or less a rock stooge because he directed this journey to the mysterious island.
That's where, like, Brendan Fraser got booted from the franchise and Dwayne Johnson, you know, insert actor here.
And then he also directed San Andreas.
but he also directed his first feature
Dogs and Cats
Call in the Rise of Kitty Galois.
And there is some secret
Aaron Eckhart movie called Incarnate,
which is like something,
something a psychic
is trying to communicate
with a demon inside a person.
No, thank you.
It's a real, it's real secret movie.
You just got to imagine
Dwayne Johnson
watching the Cats and Dogs sequel.
And you're like, I see talent here.
I see, I see vision.
I see a person who will listen to everything I say.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so, yeah, of course, this is the video game adaptation of Rampage, which you may remember
from the arcade or it was on the NES console.
Or ask your grandparents.
You know, I'll tell you what, after watching this movie, which I did not hate, it's stupid and violent.
It has its moment.
So there were some moments in there for me.
But I went and I was like all fucking geared up.
I was like, yes, let's play Rampage.
And I flipped on the Switch.
And first I went to the Switch store because I was like maybe.
Yes, you can new, you know, redone version of Rampage.
And I'll pay $7 for that.
Went through nothing.
I was like, oh, all right, fine.
Well, they just got old Rampage there on the NES console.
Fired up that bad boy, the online store there, the Nintendo Online.
no rampage to be found
So I don't know if it's one of those things
Like maybe you can find it ported over
Under the fucking PlayStation console these days
But as far as Nintendo's concerned
They are not in the rampage business right now
And the rampage game was sort of a Godzilla
Versus King Kong riff
Wherein a human beings by the way
Turn into big gorilla
Big gorilla called George
Big what reptile called Lizzie
That's kind of a
Lizard and there was a wolf called
Ralph which I think might have only been in the arcade
and like when you die
in the game you die for real. When you die in the game
you shrink down to a little human
person. I remember that you beat the ground
you're like oh no I'm a little guy now
but what's also great about that game
and I do remember playing it with the wolf as well
so maybe some arcade action for me
eating them people out of them
windies. Yes that's the best part
that is the best part of power people
you know stepping on a tank
yeah all that stuff is great
I got to say I don't like
I mean we'll talk about with all these
video game movies
you have to pour over certain things from the game
into the thing with Last of Us
Of course you pour the whole fucking thing over
Just let's just do this with cameras
Direct copy. Just so beautifully written
Of course. Yeah just don't change a shot
Don't do anything
Did you watch that whole season?
My wife I've seen a lot of them
I haven't seen the whole thing
But I've seen quite a lot of it
I gave up after that Offerman episode dude
I was like I'm glad Offerman had a nice time here
but I just, it's not very good at all.
Okay.
But the thing with the thing with the stop a million.
Listen, I don't want my fucking house burned down, okay?
The Last of Us is the best TV show ever made and gamers are the only citizens that should be able to vote.
Burn down Eric's house.
You can burn down my house.
It's a pretty stupid show.
Ralph, like the thing that they're like, Nick, we're calling him Ralph.
Oh, dude.
Like, no, you're not.
You're calling him Superwolf X-29.
They say weirdos on the internet.
have started calling him Ralph.
Yeah, like we're just just such a, we have to say it because it's the video game,
but like, hey, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, you want another two grand? Sure. Say this.
Yep. Well, weirdos on the internet are calling this guy Ralph for some reason.
Also, this is a way, I say, I say, dude, he's being called Ralph.
Jeffrey Devereaux Morgan in this film. Hello there.
This is a Kentucky fried FBI agent.
Too much. It's a lot. I love it. He's actually the best part of this.
Really? Okay. Yeah. I mean, sure.
Here's an odd thing, though. In the world of this movie, the rampage game exists.
Which is so weird. Yep. And I think it's a thing where it's like, well, I guess it couldn't have been inspired by it because Malin Ackerman has no idea what could have possibly happen.
But it could have been a thing where it's like, I was inspired by this rampage game to actually do the science that could make the rampage game possible.
That's how much of a dedicated.
fan Malin Ackerman's character
Oh Jesus Christ, okay yeah
There's just they're putting
Oh my God
V's fly traps
Coming out of the sewer
Every time you jump over
I don't know why you would do this
Melan Ackerman
Why would you do this
It'll make us rich somehow
But it is
It takes you right out of the movie
When you go to Malin Ackermann's office
You know it takes me right out of the movie
Malin Ackerman
Because she's been terrible
Her whole career
That's also
she is like, I don't know how they gave her an actual name.
She has a character name in this.
Sure.
It is just pure evil.
Like, what is the most base evil thing you can do or say in this moment?
Just say that we're good.
But she's a corporate stooge, which is evil.
So it takes her, it takes you out of the movie because she's got the rampage console in her office.
I miss this actually.
And it's like if there was a scene in the Mortal Kombat movie where Raiden isn't in his apartment.
Oh, wait, I'm playing this game.
Mortal Kombat.
Hey, that's a lot similar to what we do outside.
Back, back, back, left, right, up, down, B, A, B.
Oh, look, I did the fatality.
Oh, I like this new style you've done here.
Less clothing.
I think that's good.
What the fuck is sweeping distance?
I hate this shit.
I'm trying to do this fatality for fucking hours.
So I should be prepared for Syrex.
There should be Androids in my future.
Yeah, it's just kind of stupid.
Yeah.
that the game exists. We start with a B movie that I would love to see. Disaster in
space. Oh, absolutely. Oh, yeah. Why not? Look, you buy your
rampage movie, you get a small gravity for free. Just a tiny
gravity to bring you home. A little short film before the future gets underway.
That's what this is. I mean, do we need another disaster in space movie? I don't know
about that. That's a fair point. But yeah, I mean, this is, and certainly, I didn't expect to
start here. So it glues you to the screen. It's Marley Shelton is
the last surviving astronaut
in a space station
of astronauts that got got.
Well, just because I did a bitchy
side-swipe on Malin Ackerman,
I will praise Marley Sheldon who I've always enjoyed
and everything. Oh, yeah.
And I'll say just to defend Malin Ackerman
for two seconds, the short-lived
sitcom that she was on
Trophy Wife with Bradley Whitford
fucking hysterical. People tell me
she's good at comedy, and maybe I
believe it. But this
not her and watch
If I had to guess, the director must have told her do not be funny.
Avoid it if possible.
Look, we're making a movie a video game movie here, I guess.
If so, I want more destruction.
Honestly, just start with them starting in the middle.
It's a disaster at the whole city.
You start a disaster in space.
There's a rat loose, Chris.
Oh, of course.
A giant monster rat.
Is that Jesse the rat from the original?
I mean, I think that there was, I was looking at,
of there's a version. The rat isn't
one of the games. No, what are you talking?
If it's a sequel or something. Wow. So
that's Jesse, by the way.
It's stupid Jesse, the rampage.
Oh my God. But this is a bit of a misnomer
here in a way because she's
on the phone with ground
control or whatever. And she's like, oh,
one of the samples got loose, you know, oh, scary
or whatever. People are dead. There's a body
floating by. There's a dude without
an eyeball, which is pretty great. Then
Mission Control is just like, it's
just a rat. Meanwhile,
You know you're doing these experiments to make them as tall as a tower.
Yeah.
Based on the video game in your office.
Yeah.
Because that's a thing too.
It's very important, dude.
It's not mission control.
It's literally just Malin Ackerman and Jake Lacey, who I appreciate, unless I missed it,
that the movie doesn't confirm whether or not they're a married couple or brother and sister.
Right.
Because that's fucking funny.
All rich people are exactly like that.
You need a rich couple.
You're like, are they, wait, are they really?
What is that?
What is this?
What is that?
You know?
A lot of, a lot of those, uh, uh, gene pools are quite shallow.
Oh, yeah.
How are your mothers?
If they're, you know, if they're not fucking their kids will be or they're, I don't know if, I
don't know if I read it on Wikipedia or it is confirmed in a line in the movie.
They are brother and sister.
But I know, but I don't, but I don't know where, where I got that from.
Because I see a person that looks like Malin Ackerman and another person that looks like
Jake Lacey and the whole hour and 47.
minutes, my head was like, are these two specimens
fuck? Sure. And listen, dude, I was on high alert
for it and I didn't hear a little bro, big sis comment like that. Brothers and
sisters fuck all the time. Yeah, yeah. And also, by the way,
there will be no fucking Eric, no fucking Eric. No fucking. No, it's a Dwayne Johnson
movie. Exactly. We've got the rock here. Put your dicks away. Yeah. Well,
Girdier Lloyd's, the Rock will have none of it. This is the
this is probably the sexiest rock movie.
There are sex jokes
that he participates in
he knows that the penis exists
in this film.
I mean,
that's a good point
because after,
I mean,
the gravity thing,
it's funny.
It's also like the ad aster scene,
but like,
of course,
shitty.
It's also like that movie
Life that nobody watched.
Yeah.
Oh,
yeah,
life, dude,
I saw that shit in the theater.
No,
I got one instead.
Oh,
nice.
Look at you.
Look at you coming in hot.
That's adorable.
I mean,
joking with me about wasting your own life.
I wasted mine too.
Everybody.
I mean,
so this is just to set up like,
this is where the fucking pods come from.
She very quickly puts these three things
in a carrying case,
gets into the escape pod
right as the rat is scratching up her fucking thing.
And of course,
you see the little moisture things in the
in the pod.
And you're like, oh,
she has a little shards of glass
You're like, oh, the windshield's falling apart.
And so she gets just fucking demolish.
Like, you just see her die horribly.
And I was like, okay, Rampage,
if you can keep up this kind of violence to humans in this movie,
we might be sitting on something here.
I was almost there.
I was big, but I'm like, okay, so she must be the Rock's wife.
Yeah.
It's this person, oh, she doesn't matter at all.
She just had to die.
Marley Shelton is not a name.
actor. So it's kind of
a nice little dupe like getting
her, you know, killed off in the open sugar and spice
in this movie. Menginello is also
that. It's like, oh, here comes Joe. Oh, no, he's
dead. Yes. Yes.
Which is totally exquisite. Even
stranger because he has
to be hatched from the same
exact egg as Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
They're too similar. They are far too similar.
But Joe
Mangliallo there.
Whatever his name is.
Mangonello.
Okay.
I'll take you, I'll take your word for it.
That one, though, he got
sprayed with the sample from space.
I see. He got all big and strong and weird.
It's kind of stunning that
because, you know, this is the Rampage movie, right?
You'd think, like, let's have some fucking fun.
Oh, yeah. Like a big guy, a giant being.
Sniff some of that, such as the rock, you know.
Well, it's weird that the rock is in this movie at all
because, like, I mean, like,
because this is a disaster movie, right?
And you do want an intrepid hero to be like, whoa, this is crazy.
But usually when the disaster is so big, especially with monster,
the rock can't fight these monsters.
So why does it, him being the rock matter at all?
That's true.
We don't have to go all the way back down to Godzilla Matthew Broderick, who is a human fly.
Somewhere in the middle.
Like, you know, like even Jack Quaid is in this first scene.
Like, that's kind of what you're shooting for.
In defense, I guess, he's a big guy who would get along with guerrillas.
he's training the guerrillas at the zoo.
He's a, by the way, a fucking, uh, in this movie a, a black ops operative doing wet work
and the jungles murdering people.
Sure.
And then on the side getting his primatology degree.
That's how it works.
Yep.
G.I. Bill.
Correspondence classes, man.
Honestly, like if you put your mind to it.
Yeah, that's true.
You can be out in the bush illegally murdering scores of whomever, you know, and still be working on
your degree at night.
Let's call that one of a post.
as well. Mark that one down as a poacher.
Yeah, that's another P for poacher.
Got this online class and you wouldn't believe it.
This just guy, we should put him in charge of a whole zoo.
Yes.
He's just immediately like, when we're introduced to him, he's like, you think you're in
the jungle for a minute. It's him. It's the quade boy.
Which I do appreciate that they planted the little seeds first.
You got a small role for the quade boy before he took over all culture.
before the boys
happened
and then
this has to be right before
the boys started
he's so small in this movie
like it makes sense
that it's just a small little roll
that no I'm saying it's got to be pretty close
so like the boys started like what
2019 2020 that sounds right
kind of right around the corner
and then the nerd guy who's in Wolf of Wall Street
oh he's Rugrette from Wolf of Wall Street
that guy getting arrested
in Wolf of Wall Street
one of the funniest like
baby pissing its pants shots of
all time. He's great. He's also
great in Babylon, which is not a good movie, but
his sequence with the sound. He's
the guy that loses his shit in the sound. Best
part of the movie. Probably best
best performance in the movie. And I think
the actor's name is PJ Byrne because I looked him up
last night because I'm like, this guy,
if I ever killed anybody, he'd play me in a
movie. Oh, sure. You know what I mean?
That's what they'd make a movie about. Certainly, if I
went out on a rampage of my own
this guy, I would get to hit PJ
Burn and Oscar. Yep. Oh, yeah.
So this is your dream? This is my dream. This is
why are you going to kill all those people?
Well, considering that there's always someone older playing you.
I mean, I think you're probably close to Anthony Hopkins playing.
Last one out, like podcaster Anthony Hopkins, who just happens to murder.
I don't know, man.
You get a look at Rugrat.
There's some crow's feet there.
He's not no spring.
I just can't picture.
I can't take, you know, Anthony Hopkins in an X-Men t-shirt.
I just don't know about.
I didn't buy Anthony Hopkins as Steve, believe it.
Oh, no.
I'm going to shoot up this comic book store
because they're all out of Green Lantern comics.
This episode is brought
to you by Casper.
But yeah, they're out.
And also, by the way, a sexy lady.
Oh, yes.
She comes and goes.
She sure does.
There's a, you know, they have this,
it's this opening scene where like we meet George,
the ape here,
he's friends with the rock and whatnot.
And it's like, all right,
that's the training for the day.
We're actually at the San Diego Wildlife
conservative because we can't say the San Diego Zoo
probably maybe there's two different places in San Diego that cage animals I don't know
but so it's like done with work for the day and this lady is like
oh my God Dwayne the Rock Johnson the way that you fucking controlled those animals today
it just got me so fucking horny the word the line is I would love to learn about those
submission techniques you use yeah there it is maybe we could practice those later
And the Rock Johnson
and says, no ma'am.
He just goes. No ma'am. No, ma'am, no
S&M. I already
got plans tonight. Sorry
about that. And then Rugrat is like,
dude, you have to
fuck human women. Like you can't
be hanging out of animals. Yes, yeah.
But was there an age gap here? It seemed maybe there was.
Yeah, she's probably looking at her 20s.
He's probably old enough to be her father. Maybe that was
part of it. I don't think that was going
to be coming up in the whatever discussion
they were having. Well, I'm here.
now and we're disgusting. Well, I
just think that, you know, the dude's
got other issues
if he prefers hanging out with fucking
apes over people. We should say
I totally understand where he's coming
from. They're in the middle of this class
or whatever and like one of the monkeys
pavo, it gets really aggressive.
And Jack Quaid like
curls up into a ball
and it's like, oh, look at that little whip.
Are you kidding me? I'd love to see any of these tough
guys in a gorilla pen
when a gorilla is like jumps
I would shit my pants and piss everywhere.
I agree.
As would I.
You know why, Steve?
Because you and I would be tourists in this situation.
And this is why it's confusing as to what the hell these people are up to because I'm like,
all right, unless this is day one, Jack Quaid, you don't have an excuse.
They're a school group.
He's taking, it's a group.
The two, him and a Rugrat are part of the zoo.
But I think, or the conservancy or whatever.
But yeah, they're like, this is your field stuff.
for the day. Well, at the very
least, I think Quaid is going to be around for a while
because he's doing
rounds at the zoo and finds
the exploded thing later. These are people clearly
maybe also working on some sort of zoological
dissertation or something.
Unless this is his
first day around these animals,
it's ridiculous that everyone else
is like in grad school and fine
with it and he's a huge coward.
Like maybe this field is in fault. I can handle this
by the way. All you need to do, listen,
folks, giant ape coming at you.
Roll up a newspaper.
You know, you're going to want to get that schnaz.
Just smack that in the schnaz.
This also works for grizzly bears.
Grizzly bears love this.
That's true, too.
So while, you know, this, you know, Pavo here, this one gorilla that they're dealing with
and sort of learning about like, oh, you know, poachers killed his family, he's new here, blah, blah, blah.
In comes this huge white gorilla.
And you're like, what is going on?
And I think the gorilla kind of like smacks Jack Quaid a little bit.
He does sort of like knock him a little bit.
But like this, and then it's like you, oh, you realize right here,
this is the level of chimp movie we're talking about or ape movie because it turns out like this ape was just joking with him.
And like he's, you know, he's signing with the rock and like, oh, you were fucking with that guy.
That's ridiculous.
You can't be playing jokes like that around here.
George.
George has a twisted sense of humor.
And he's shoulder checks Paavo right out of the fucking.
Paavo goes flying into the woods
I'm not sure if Paavo's alive
He walks away with his fucking
non-existent tail between his legs
And that's when the rock is like
No George
Like he's part of our family now
People killed his family
He's really guilt tripping this ape for the prank
That he played
And it's like hey give me a fist bump
Uh oh middle finger time
Mother fuck
This ape's giving the finger now
And he's like man God damn
That given the fucking finger
Has not been funny in 40 years
Until now
I just
Oh really this one sent you
Oh dude to the mood
No
There was a smirk
A sure
There was a little contained chuckle
Well because like you
That's as much as you can get away with
Right
If you got a teenager audience a little bit
Oh you can't teach the fucking
Ape to be like
Fuck you
You have to give him a little finger here.
Imagine an ape walking around saying,
fuck you and everyone.
Oh, my God.
Right?
Here, let's do a prank show.
We train an ape with cattle prods,
whatever it takes.
So anything it would say,
fuck you.
We'd put them in a little business suit.
Oh, this would be.
Loose on Wall Street.
And he's saying,
fuck you to people.
And they're like, well, I never.
Before we're sent to prison,
this would be fantastic.
Yeah.
This would be great.
And then PJ Byrude would play me in the movie.
but then the ape
can break us out of prison
I see it's all purpose tool
I mean the whole thing
like so because
Quaid is like flirting with the girl
all before this trying to
strike something up here before it
and of course this happens
and like she goes for the rock
right after this and he
it's just it's so
it's such a stupid thing
it's like you know what makes him more masculine
is that he wouldn't fuck the woman
he wouldn't do it that's what makes him
more of a man and a hero
Yeah, that's dumb.
So he's going to go home to wax the rest of his body hair.
And meanwhile, in the night, this is when the satellite breaks up and we get all these pods.
One pod goes to George.
And I will say, like, the CGI was actually pretty good on George at the very least.
They do good character work.
And, like, when he smells, they're like, oh, no.
I did have that moment.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
But you are right, man.
The rock, no hair at all.
That's zero.
Zero.
zero. There's nothing going on. Do you think he's got
a little bush downstairs at all? Nothing. I think
I know, I think it's smooth sailing.
I think it's just, I like to slip, slide away.
Just slip and slide in everywhere. How often do you
think he like gives his entire body that Brazilian wax?
It's got to be. It's got to be at least weekly.
Yeah, I think it's the very least.
Because I mean, you know, I was about to say like, well, only when he knows he's shooting
a movie. But the problem with this guy, his whole life is on fucking social
media also so like you can't even just work out no and have like a little like you know arm fuzz
going on because you're in the fucking iron oasis or whatever he calls it and there's a fucking
camera on you at all time so yeah I think you just got to be slick like a seal 24 by 7 just like
bathing and access chemicals or something to get all that shit off you get into a little waiting
pool he plugs his nose you know like here I go this is for Hollywood and he gets on
course you got to put the butt plug in well yeah you want to get it cover all
the fucking orifices, dude.
You don't want your organs melting.
You have to put the little one in your
urethra hole just to make sure
nothing gets in there.
Steve, do they make those?
Unaware, Senator.
Are you, sir?
Just get a little clothes pin.
That's not doing the job.
It's going to melt away.
I'm sure it's doing the job for somebody.
That's got to be a little low.
That feels like it might hurt.
But his,
his dick is probably so muscular from lifting weights.
Like, it probably lifts weights itself.
It probably does.
But he's so slick.
Dude, you cannot catch the rocket.
a pool. It's just like slick like a no, no. Oh yeah. Yeah, you try to play Marco Polo with that
dude fucking forget it. He'll roll on you like an alligator. Speaking of which,
oh, sure. So one pod goes to George. You're like, oh, no. One pod goes to a wolf in a
wolf pack and the third one goes into the swamp, but you don't even see what gets it.
Which is so stupid. Because I'm pretty sure, I mean, Lizzie was the second player in the Nintendo
guy. Why this wolf gets all this real is I never heard of this fucking wolf. Because he
fucking kills Joe Mango dies and then Ralph
sorry Ralph
people on the internet are calling them Ralph
Ralph Ralph uh like
and also I'm sorry
the goddamn alligator looks horrible
it looks like a swamp came to life looks bad
and we've already had so many Godzilla's
and stuff like that I think that's probably why they wait
so long but here's the thing
too for whatever reason like when you see the rat in
in a hot second
it's got all the spiny shit on it like
well what's going on with that rat
when the wolf later gets spiny shit too
and gets like bat wings
for a hot second. The lizard
alligator has like
fucking dilaphasaurus panels
and like wardhog
tusks. Yes. But the
ape is just an ape
and that I don't get like. Because he's a good guy.
Let me tell you something here.
That's the good guy we're supposed to like
because their DNA is so close to
human you understand. I see. I mean, I don't know, dude. You could modify him just a little bit.
Like, why don't you put a tie on it? The Nintendo Corporation's got to have a couple questions about that.
You put a tie on them, you train him to say, fuck you, and you're bringing to Wall Street.
What a great idea. It would be funny. I think they tried to do that in the Wolf of Wall Street.
Yeah, there wasn't a moment where there was a fucking an orangutanang in that office.
We're calling it of Ralph Wall Street. Oh, the Ralph of Wall Street. Oh, the Ralph of Wall Street. The Ralph of
weirdos on the internet are calling them Ralph.
They,
overnight, like, so like the next day the Rock shows up
and PJ Burns like, dude, you
got to see this. Now, here's
something. I feel like PJ Burton exists
in this scene, obviously, to tell
DJ's character, you got to see this, right? But in what
fucking world is the Rock's
character not the fucking first one
there in the morning and the last one to leave
at night, dude? He pulls in and I was
like, you're late for work. I
I don't believe it with this character.
You got to have him fucking that girl then.
That's why he's late.
That would work.
Iron man-esque playboy cad.
You know, here's the thing, right?
If you, maybe he's, listen, because the rock is a happily married man.
Maybe he's got that weird fucking Kirk Cameron thing where it's like, oh, I couldn't mother.
That makes some sense.
But I don't know if that's true because here's a real easy, like way to make the character more of a, you know,
realized character in this way
like maybe he puts up that
whole thing right he tells PJ Byr like no
no no I prefer hanging out with ABC
tomorrow and then he's late for work
and then uh oh in the car
some pink fucking
lady undies yeah I mean
and then it's like uh oh
yeah what's he's like oh sorry I was late
maybe like flix a met fucking
rug rat or something you know
I don't know about that
wasn't a totally different movies
yeah yeah yeah why not down with love
starring George and
Dwayne Johnson.
I know nothing about the Rock's personal life.
What's his wife's name?
The Crystal.
Lauren something.
Oh, that's not as fun.
Lauren,
the Crystal Johnson.
Just another rocky kind of thing.
You know,
like the G-O'd.
And he's got two children
so the man in real life, Fox.
Yeah.
Who does he?
Pebble and Bam Bam?
He's got two kids with this lady
and then he's got an older daughter
from a previous marriage
that she's into Rasslin herself.
Oh, how about that?
Why not?
Come on.
down free paycheck. I think
Bochum, I think
Johnson's got something like Bocham Woodbine
in the big hit. He's just taking care of himself.
Oh, I see. He takes that very seriously.
He's got just like
a bar
worth of different lubricants
that he uses to take care of himself.
He's working that bicep
and his forearm to make sure he's got good
grip. Yeah, like this is the lube I use
if I'm going to be doing the stranger.
This is the heating
loop. If it's, you know, like a December
jerk off and I'm out on the patio. Maybe you can
mix them all a little bit like
a mixologist, make a new
one. Loob cocktail.
Anyway, the film Ram paint. I would love
to do you. No loop cocktails in the film
Ram. Not enough. Loop my cocktail.
Lupin tonic.
George is actually
in the grizzly bear pen
and we
go in there and PJs got a gun
rightfully so.
And the grizzly has been
murdered. Oh yeah, dude.
fucking snap this thing's neck like a fortune cookie.
Which I kind of want to see that scene.
Yeah.
But then you reveal that the gorilla is now very, very large.
And the rocks are like, wow, that's crazy.
Put your gun down.
We're not going to, I would assassinate this thing immediately.
Absolutely.
While you still can.
As we come to find, that would not work.
Literally nothing harms them, which is question.
It's stupid.
Oh, yeah, because like, oh, yeah, there's this whole like regeneration clause in this movie.
And I was like, that wasn't in the game.
George Kent. He's a Superman.
The movie has unlimited quarters.
Sorry. I see. Okay. That makes sense.
We should say in the beginning, there is a scroll in this movie, which there absolutely should not be, which is about CRISPR, CRIS, PR, which I believe is an app where it vegetables can fuck each other.
That's true.
You got it right on. It's with a K, except this one's with the C.
So the CRISPR is, it was a, I mean, they say it the whole thing.
It's because at some point downline, I think it's Naomi Harris, mentions it.
And she's, and if you would just let it be there,
I'd be like, what the fuck is that?
CRISPR was a, yeah, some sort of genetic program
run by Regenine, whatever this company
calls themselves. Yes. And we're told in the scroll
that in 1993, this technology was invented,
yada, yada, yada, gene therapy, yada, yada.
And now. In 2016, dude, qualifies as a WMD.
That's right. The CRISPR virus is a weapon of mass destruction.
Boom. Start in the movie. We know this is at least Saddam Hussein level event. I don't know.
Allegedly, I know, because he didn't even have any. That poor man. He didn't even know how to Chrisper.
He should have had a giant, if he had a giant ape, it would have been, I would have understood things.
So as you've guessed, yes, CRISPR is now the new reason we're in Afghanistan.
Poppy's making rampages over there. Like the game I like. He made a deadly camel, Poppy.
Yeah. I heard that some geniuses over on the internet, naming this wolf, all sorts of things.
Each one of his humps is poison, Poppy.
Yeah, Jr., that's video game rules right here in the real world.
We're talking WMD's boy.
He has fangs, poppy.
Fangs.
Looks like juniors playing the arcade import somewhere.
Didn't find no wolf in my Nintendo entertainment system.
His name's Dudley
It would be better if two
animals collided with the towers, right?
It wouldn't be as like
Do you start hucking, do a catap, put
an ape in a catapult, throw it at a building?
You know what? If two apes flew through
the trade towers, people
in this country would go to the zoos and torture
them and murder them all. Absolutely.
What did you know about it?
A fucking ape? Yeah. I think
essentially the same stuff would have
happened afterwards. I think essentially
the same course of events. Two monkeys
he's just end up in the middle of a,
it doesn't really kill anyone, but just
still, they're just splat against
the building essentially.
Yeah, let's just wrap up the military.
So that all goes down. And then
it's like, oh, Jack Quaid's like, you got to come to
the guerrilla enclosure. And it's like,
bum, bump, bump, bye, here's this device that fell out of the sky.
We cut to Chicago. This is
Malin Ackerman and Jake Lacey. Like,
oh, hey, good news, everybody.
The rampage program
is still on. And I was like,
absolutely not.
Like I know that I'm watching a movie called Rampage
And it's called Rampage because it was based on the game called Rampage
And that's about as far as it needs to go
And they rampage in the movie
Sure
Sure
Did you know that Yuvra Bull tried to sue Warner Brothers
I actually have a trilogy called Rampage
And if you use it
This it's going to actually impede on my rights
To use the Rampage
Honey those aren't real movies
Oh no
Oh, no, ma'am, not a real movie.
So he made a movie called The Rampage.
Which is about a fella
shooting up Wall Street. Now,
had he been a monkey in a tie
saying, fuck you, shooting up
Wall Street, it would have gone somewhere.
Did anyone see that one?
I did not. I always wanted to. I always
wanted to. There's assault on Wall Street.
Isn't that this? I'm confusing them.
I'm confusing them. Because that's the movie
with Eddie Furlongs, like the security
guard friend of his.
Yes, that sounds right. The guy, the guy
in that jailbreak, I think, is playing
one of, I think one of the guys from
Prison Break. Prison Break. A man with
Thirst for Revenge builds
Full Body Armor from Kevlar
and goes on a killing spree. That's
Rampage? That is Rampage. It is
Yuvables Rampage. I confused it. I confused it with the
Wall Street. But yeah, there is a Yuvabal movie
where like some dude, I think prison
break guy gets fucked over. Hold on.
There's two other movies.
Okay. Rampage
Capital Punishment.
And then the first movie is getting the death penalty.
And oh my God, in what year is this?
2016, Rampage President Down.
And the poster is the rampage guy on the White House.
And the tagline is, which is what's really selling me,
this bill will not be vetoed.
Sounds to me, like if you have that third movie on DVD,
you automatically
participated in Jan 6th.
I don't know how that works out
but I think that it gave you a promo code
to go to Jan 6
somehow it did it do is going to happen
five years later.
Here's your Jan 6 digital download.
It sounds
not great.
It sounds like I want to watch.
I'm looking on your watch list.
I can see it right now.
I'm smiling.
A big smile right now in his face.
So the whole thing is like, oh, actually
Project Rampage is still a go.
Because we found, you know, the little canisters such as they were, they were able to withstand reentry.
So we just got to track down where they were and we could find them or we could fucking start.
Like the movie definitely starts with them being like, so all we have to do is go to these three places and find them.
And then like, without telling you the movie changes its mind because then later they're like, so all we got to do is turn on this radio tower and all the animals are going to come to us.
And I was like, but I thought you were.
All right.
Well, they try to go to the...
Oh, actually, that's true.
He's friends with the...
Because they find out George is friendly with them, so they can't do it.
The wolf, they're like, oh, shit, that wolf is in whatever, the Pacific Northwest, right?
That's what it is.
Excuse me, what's his name?
Ralph, the weirdos on the internet, you see, have been calling him Ralph.
Thank you.
She has this lie. I forgot this, though, but she does have, uh...
Remember that military firm we acquired last year?
And she goes to Jake Lacey.
You called them Killers Are Us.
Yes. So they do actually, they do try to go out and capture these things because this is Joe Mangonello is the head of this fake Blackwater kind of organization.
We're rolling out to get this wolf. We're going hunting boys. And did you notice who like main hunter number two was?
No. Like Mangonelow running the whole thing. And then it's the asshole guy who's basically playing the same character in Avatar.
It's the same kind of like, should I bring the 50 caliber for them blue people or what?
I think he also makes Daredevil's suit.
He does. Yes, that's correct.
Oh, he's that guy?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Great cinematic legacy.
Great Chrome Dome.
One of the great Chrome Dome.
Yeah, he's a big bulk of, uh, chrome dome.
And it's like, all right, let's do it.
Let's roll out.
Like, you know, it's, it's, this scene's not great.
Honestly, like the, you kind of want the scene to be better, like the first
rampage of like, hit this wolf killing all these military guys.
I kind of want a little more here.
Yeah, I, I, I, I was satiated, man.
I don't know.
My blood lust was.
maybe running low last night or something.
This wolf fucks these dudes up.
You're seeing dudes literally ripped apart.
The dude from Avatar gets absolutely destroyed.
And Mangonello, man, he fucking goes down like a true champion.
It's pretty good.
Yeah, he's the Drew Barrymore in this scene.
Yeah, my boyfriend's big.
He plays football.
He's going to beat the shit out of you.
Oh, no, I'm not the star of the movie.
I'm getting killed.
What a fucking surprise.
he really it's a it's kind of funny what they do because the wolf like somehow sneaks up behind him
and then he's a lot of like get my gun ready and then like the wolf just attacks yeah your gun was useless
weird and then it's like oh the wolf didn't work meanwhile so now the rock they have sedated
they have the monkey in an enclosure well george in an enclosure you're skip so verner herzog
comes in. And he has
the tapes from when
George killed the grizzly. And
he's like, you have to watch this. It's awesome.
It's so fucking awesome. You should
see what he did. Let me get that guy's
wife. She's going to fucking love it.
It just destroys this grizzly bear.
It just tears him apart. Here is the revenge
your husband's soul so
desperately needs.
We need more of these
alpine gorillas. Let's go
George. Let's go
George.
at some point around here
Naomi Harris wakes up
hungover
she wakes up in the movie
like what
oh shit
fuck I miss the first
20 minutes of rampage
she's getting a phone call
it's like hey you're supposed
to be in the movie
you're late
oh fuck
I gotta get out of bed
and she is a
former energine scientist
that knows all about
I don't know
here's the thing
I love Naomi Harris
and I think she's fantastic
in most things
she's just okay here
if there's not about
She's like the rock's almost girlfriend.
It's the streak.
I mean, like, it's moonlight.
Moonlight happened and all of a sudden they were like, hey, be in everything.
Sure, I'll be in everything.
Oh, right.
She's the mom in moonlight.
Yeah, okay.
And she's obviously in all those James Bond movies.
The Pirates of the Caribbean.
And also excellent 28 days later.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Made my favorite.
Still after Moonlight, I might.
Yeah, my favorite 28 days later, FYI.
but yes she gets a phone call
like you're late for whatever job you're supposed to be working at
and she's seeing the news report like
a lot of this looks weirdly familiar
I should probably go check it out so she goes to
San Diego and this is like
they now because George is growing we have him in this huge cage
and she comes in science science
yada and George breaks out immediately
yeah you need to feed this thing
it's so hungry and it's going to be aggressive
but it's too late thing breaks out
It's running around.
And I have never, in my life, rooted for homeland security before.
Oh, sure.
But when they fucking start to put this gorilla down and the rock's like, no.
I'm like, yeah, do it.
Yeah, do it, dudes.
Get out.
Light this fucking monstrosity up.
Yeah, because if you kill it now, you won't have to try and kill it when it's much bigger later.
Yes.
Not too shabby.
That's true.
Yeah.
But they just trank it and then they arrest the rock and Naomi Harris for some reason.
They should like, now I know it takes time.
I mean, like it regenerates or whatever.
It heals pretty fast.
Can't you like dismember it or something?
Yeah, like I could take that head off.
I've been saying this all month.
Take the legs and arms off.
Maybe the teeth.
I mean, you don't know.
I mean, like, I mean, you don't know what it is at this point.
I'm willing to bet if you take that thing and try to put a saw on it, it just breaks.
Like, oh, I don't really think anything's getting through the skin.
Oh, these things are unbreakable then.
I think you get, you know what?
Get the biggest white barrel in history.
Yes.
Find it and then get a lot of lie.
I'm not kidding you.
Whole supplies of lie.
Go to a warehouse where you have to buy this with a license.
Then maybe you're working with this.
I like it.
You know what the rock?
I'm sorry.
Someone has to tell him because I mean like this is a man in his monkey story,
much like the last week's.
any which way you can.
It's, it's, you know, like,
hey man, this is no longer your friend.
Your friend is dead.
What exists now is this,
also like, eager, aggressive,
like, this thing's like yacked up on Coke and ready.
This is a cocaine bear scenario.
It really is, dude.
Yeah, like your buddy that you would watch,
you know, eight movies with
and drink a bunch of beers together.
That dude's dead, DJ.
I'm sorry to tell you. This is a, this is a great A
monster you have on your hands.
It's no longer cocaine bear.
You've got Adderall Ape now.
No, no. It's doing its homework too fast.
It's cleaning everything.
We don't stop him now.
This ape's going to clean every bathroom inside of that hospital top to bottom.
Oh, man.
The pantry is just immacually organized.
Wow.
This is a really great system.
Can that ape come to my house tonight?
This house hasn't looked better in years.
Thanks, Adderall Ayer.
It looks incredible, but there's all these banana peels everywhere.
So we're reinventing monkey butlers here.
Adderall ape. I like it.
I think the monkey butlers were all drug addicts.
They got to be on something.
Oh, for sure.
One of the coolest things in this whole like wolf sequence that happens,
because like after they get arrested is the wolf sequence,
which we already talked about.
But one of the things that they keep true to the game function,
which I thought was kind of neat, these animals are going after helicopter.
helicopters at all time.
Yes. Yeah.
And you see, I mean, it's this wild ass.
It's like, Manganel is the only dude on the ground left alive.
And he's like, you got to fucking take this thing out with the chain gun.
And like this wolf just eats this helicopter to the ground.
It's so awesome.
I feel like the wolf size changes quite a bit.
Am I wrong?
Like, it seems like it's big and small again.
But don't you understand?
That's not us being lazy and stupid.
That stuff's happening and they're growing.
They're all growing.
So we don't have to give a shit.
Don't give a shit.
We'll explain it in the script.
It's all part of the show, folks.
Because I feel like the helicopter scene seems a lot bigger than it does later when he's in Chicago, go to the Cubs game.
Oh, maybe.
Yeah, I don't know.
It could be.
But, you know, we got multiple helicopters down in this film, which is great.
I mean, they're the easiest thing to destroy, right?
Of all man's creations.
Exactly.
I mean, you sneeze at a helicopter that things, oh, fuck, we're going down.
You instantly hear that.
What's that alarm?
Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
What a great.
That's the we're going down alarm.
I just want to make sure no one had any Taco Bell for lunch because if you fart, we will go to.
Durt, dirt, dirt, dirt.
Oh, fuck what you do.
You farted.
Oh, God.
The helicopter, it's just so dated.
You try to jump out of there with a parachute.
You're sucked up in the blades.
I'm so sorry.
I just wanted to try the three-beat salad.
Durt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt.
Anyone see this week's succession?
Oh, no, a spoiler, we're going down.
So DJ is like, hey, Jeffrey Dean Morgan,
you're not going to put this ape on that plane there, are you?
And he's like, he got that right, boy.
As soon as I finished this here, Peach Cobbler,
me and you is going to take the ape.
Oh, man, that Peach Cobbber,
with his side of scenery, dude.
He's having fun, but it's like, oh, they're being
tough guys against each other. And poor
Naomi Harris has to be like, I guess I'm the
girl who has to be like, you two
tough guys stop being tough.
But it's one of those things where it's like
even that kind of, because like they start like,
you know, dick measuring and whatnot. And then they get
her in there and she has to be
like, it's just the lines you've heard
a thousand times of like, boys,
can we stop waggling out there?
And I was like, oh, now you have to do
even that's fucking played.
Yes, it's very played.
Well, yeah, you're going to give, you know, women more screen time.
Why don't you say, oh, just to, what was it in Golden Night?
Boys with toys.
Yeah, you're just with boys with toys.
There is one moment, though, where Jeffrey Dean Morgan definitely calls
Dwayne Johnson brother.
Yeah.
And then it's like DJ's response is like something or he's like,
whatever he's actually responding to DJ's like, well, why don't you take the
cuffs off and then we can find out, brother.
And it's like, yeah.
Not so great.
Not great.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan,
Homeland Security guy.
Oh, you're a racist on the play?
Oh, fuck, the helicopter's going down again.
Called Dwayne Johnson brother.
The helicopter going down a lot.
I love that alarm.
I want that to be like my, you know,
wake up call in the morning.
You feel like you're in a helicopter plummeting to your dad?
You know what I need to rig my bed to like shake at the same time?
You know what it could be?
Opens a window instantly.
A fan goes on.
If that happens, right?
So every morning you simulate going down in some sort of aircraft.
The realization of like, oh, I just woke up and it's early.
I'm in my bed.
Like, okay, so the worst thing to actually happen at the moment is he had to get out of bed.
And not like, oh, few, I'm not actually dying.
That's true.
What a relief.
It's reassuring.
It helps you start the day and a little bit better footing.
I think that's a positive way to look at it.
But I also, I kind of get the.
feeling your lovely wife
is going to be waking up every morning
with, we're going down! We're going
down! But listen, yes,
there'll be months of that.
But eventually we'll be comfortable.
And then when I'm in an actual helicopter that starts
going down, I'll just have that room.
Zen, you'll be good. Yeah, time to go
to bed, close my eyes.
You be nodding off. So this is all
in preparation for you, obviously
dying in a helicopter,
if you go in a helicopter. It's a
way to go down. It's that or being shot at the
grocery store.
Okay.
I'm an American, Chris.
I know. Go with the big one.
I agree.
So, yeah, they're in the plane and they're like, oh, man, they realize now Jake Lacey and
Malin Ackerman Ackerman are aware that the wolf is unstoppable and now that the government
has this ape and Naomi Harris.
And if they start putting two and two together, we're all going to jail.
Let me put on this insane weird transmitter thing on top of the Sears fucking tower or
the Willis Tower now, I guess.
And it's going to make all the animals go insane and come here and fight each other.
And the government will just stop them before that ever happens.
And we'll be safe.
We could also pick up the remains because basically the blood will be on our doorstep so we can just scoop it up.
We have the weaponized DNA at our disposal so we can just go out there with an ice cream
scooper and pick up some of Frankie's brains or whatever the fuck these things are called.
What's the wolf's name again?
Ralph.
The weirdos of the internet
have been calling him Ralph.
Oh, Ralph.
Martin.
Yeah.
And so let's just start this beacon.
And then the beacon,
the wolf just shoots off to head to Chicago way.
Head to Chicago way.
You do see it because we're fucking keeping it secret.
Of course.
By you, this thing is moving in the water.
And you're like, oh, fuck, what's it going to look like?
And it's like when you eventually see it and it looks nothing like the game,
not like anything in this movie looks like the game.
But you're just like, ha, should have fucking kept it in there a little longer.
Or just two things is fine.
Two things is plenty.
But also the third part of this is, I am sure.
I haven't watched in a while because I do remember when the wolf flies at the end of
the movie, that's definitely in one of the trailers in the movie.
Oh, and he flies.
Yeah, the wolf was flying.
They fly now.
Yeah, that's definitely in the trailer.
And I guarantee you that the fucking Lizzie the lizard was revealed in at least trailer
two, three or the final trailer
for sure. Oh, sure. So like
what is the point of even trying to keep that shit secret in a movie?
You don't know what I bought the ticket for it? Well, here's the thing. I saw it six
months ago at the Super Bowl, dude. Where is it? The movie is
well made and locked before the trailers. Sure. Like when that shit
happens, it's the trailer people's fault. Like the movie people
have it. They are well within their right to try to keep something as a
surprise from the audience. It's the assholes that market it later.
you know and like if you ever met a trailer cutter some of these sadistic fucks oh really oh yeah no I just know one
this I know one trailer cutter who's a fucking total loser I'm sure a lot of them are I'm sure a lot of them are totally great but like this motherfucker that I'm thinking of
this motherfucker would definitely be like well you got to show that lizard in the trailer yeah and then like the director can be like well hey man actually we go to great lengths to you know sort of tease the character and the surprise reveal the character design and everything in the yeah but we put in the trailer
We'll go right in the trailers
It's by the trailer
Look, who can deed
The other two roars
Aren't as good as that roar
Okay, so we're gonna get that one out here
We're gonna need a reveal for trailers
Right now trailer 3 is feeling a little light
In the reveal department
Because I was the first trailer revealed a lot
Second trailer revealed even more
But trailer 3 is lacking in the reveal
The part we're gonna want to have something else in there
So there's nothing to
No reason for you to actually see the movie
Because by the time we get to the final trailer
by the way. You want to make sure by the final
trailer everything has been revealed.
That's what we have trailers 1 through 3
4 to get all the reveals out of the way. Trailer 4
final trailer, no more reveals.
By the way, we have plenty of surprise is still
late. We haven't even teased
even a little bit that Joe Pantaniano
and Tommy Lee Jones are trying
to find Harrison Ford while this is happening.
That'd be great, right?
The fugitive song playing as
I want to check over a monkey house, ape house.
I didn't grow 50 feet tall and kill my wife.
That was the ape.
I don't care.
Oook, ook, ook.
A white ape.
Like I believe that.
A one-armed man, a white ape, same difference.
I got to say, so the ape wakes up midair.
So, like, you know, there's some like reveals.
This is when we find out that the rock was a special op soldier and also a primatologist.
Of course.
And we find out also that Jeffrey Dean Morgan works for some other government,
shady government.
And then Naomi Harris was fired and was in jail.
And actually has no means at this point to get to a cure, which is what she sells DJ on way back when they first meet each other.
But the ape wakes up midair and it's this midair collision sequence.
I don't know if it's because we just done uncharted a couple months ago.
I am so sick of these sequences.
I don't know what I don't know what it is.
It's because of the.
It's in the mummy.
that whatever the mummy movie
Tom Cruise. I'm trying to think of other
I mean I just fall over the place. It's in Mission Impossible movies. It's in
Dark Night Rises. Yes, it's just sort of like the oh my
God the plane is going down but we're fighting each other
while the plane is going down. It's a little tired
at this point and also what's also weird
about this scene. It's you know, George starts
to break out of his cage. Jeffrey Dean Morgan
has the line, aim for
its body.
Like what? Wow, dude,
you get paid for that kind of advice?
Remember to target.
the body. No, I'm sorry, the aura. Don't aim for its body at all. Just the
whatever's emanating off of it. Shoot it in the chakra. You got to get it in the
chakra now. No way it's going to go down. I mean, it's also the problem is that now all of them
are CGI. Like the first couple of these were Mission Impossible, Fast and Furious, which are
very dark night. Are stunt heavy. Like you're going to put that forefront. Now
it's like it's a fucking ape and it's the boxes coming out of the uncharted.
thing and I don't give a shit.
Yeah. I kind of was okay.
All right. There is. It's like the ape
gets crushed by a big
like a forklift
that goes flying. That's kind of neat.
Dudes are getting whipped
out of this plane. Again, it's like
I did not expect this movie to have
a toll at all, any kind of a body
counts. It's like the little
Andrew video game in its head
in my head. It's like, ding, ding. There's another
one. Ding. You work over the high score. Ding.
I was shocked because, you know,
you know, like a Marvel movie or something
wouldn't have this body can. It's true. For sure.
And I will admit, I understand
like everything. Like, this is all
ridiculous trying to find, hold on to anything.
But I was like, imagine
you're, you're piling this plane and a
huge gorilla bank. Oh yeah, we're fine.
Yeah, we got. We're steady
as we go. Don't you fucking
worry. We're not going down.
Yeah. Just a little, if you look outside
your window there, you'll see the
Great Lakes.
And the goes to Chicago here. And there's the
debris of our engines which are gone
a little
kerfuffle there with a white ape that's
a 30 feet tall I wouldn't worry too much
about it should be touch it down in
41 minutes. You want to see it's a cage
it's a right side plummeting
towards earth. We've got a unruly
passenger in the form of a giant white ape
we'll be making an emergency landing
here in Bakersfield. Looks like someone's
doing their damnedest to be memed by the
end of the night.
It is kind of weird though because
it's not weird. It's not weird.
funny actually
because the co-pilot comes out
with a machine gun like from the flight
deck like bha-d-ch-ch-ch-d-ch-de-
he's killed immediately
yes and then the pilot
we just the other guy you just see
slumped over at the controls
the dude's been shot in the back
by one of these people
that's why you're supposed to aim for the body not the pilot
yes oh that's true yeah aim for the
oh I'm at the ape's body
not the pilot's body oh should have clarified
sorry yeah just a little
quick update here. I've been shot in the chest.
Going down
my blood pressure and this plane.
But we will be picking up some time
in coming back here. So we will be
getting you home a little earlier. And by that I mean
crashing into the ground. We'll be there
earlier, but it's going to be fiery
and violent. By the way,
I was killed by Agent Foghorn
leghorn.
He shot me right in the back while he was
trying to save me, quote unquote.
But so
here's something that's interesting. So
for folks at home, little how the sausages
made here we hate movies.
We just recorded earlier
our episode on
any which way you can. In where we
talked about the
seedy motel owner
looking
at Ma
and having the Bo Derek fantasy
and they put what's
Ruth Gordon's face on
Bo Derek's body.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Similar
bit of special effecting
happening here because we have
a, we're jumping
out of a plane and at some point
we have like actual skydiving
footage. Yeah. And then
we want to go in on a close
up of DJ's character
and it's like the footage of the
skydiver. Yeah. And we
put a cartoon mask on this
guy. Dude, it looks like
and Dwayne Johnson as
Dr. Dope.
This fit like polygonal
fucked up CGI
That's tough, dude.
Oh, someone should have said no.
And then he has to do some acting like, oh, no, George.
Oh, George, you're dying.
Oh, George is dead.
Sorry, George.
But George survives the helicopter crash because they're looking around.
It's not really good.
You got a body?
Nope, nobody.
We got nobody.
Nobody.
So, yeah, he survived.
Uh-oh.
I somehow didn't see him trampling off, even though I had literally a God's eye
view of the situation. I don't know, man. There was a little bit more to worry about at the moment,
wouldn't you say? It's a humongous ape. I'm like, oh, I have no idea where he went. Not even
a direction for you. Well, I'm just, you're saying that this guy should have been fighting for
his life falling out of the sky and also paying attention to where they're, if you're an action
hero of this size. I mean, look, you're George's friend. Are you ready to fucking help or not?
This size, you're right, Dwayne, the Rock Johnson's a big guy. It stands the reason he's got bigger eyes
the mean or you.
That he should be able
to at least clock
which direction.
Don't have big hairless eyes.
Don't ask me to be fair
to this beautiful man.
But also this
the rock goes out of his way
to save Jeffrey Dean Morgan
even though they were antagonists before.
Yes.
And it puts him in a parachute.
And basically they're,
you know,
that now they have a begrudging respect
which turns into a lifetime free pass
of any crime you want to do.
Yes, yes.
Hey, I'll take it.
That Jeffrey Dean Morgan waking up.
falling going, holy shit.
That's pretty funny. I forgot about
that. Yeah, because he's like unconscious
as the plane is crashing and the rock
like pulls him out when he doesn't have to.
At some point around here, the FBI
invades Energen's
office in Chicago.
And this is like Malin Ackman like playing
all nice. Oh, whatever you need
officers. And it's like,
I don't know, all these agents have to do
to take one look around this fucking room.
You got fucking, you know, the
villains from Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Literally a rampage arcade tower.
Jake Lacey is eating a pop tarts.
Like, you got to go in here and be like, yeah, clearly you're crooked.
We're looking through your books here.
It looks like you finance the Joker?
How evil are you people?
But it's America, so they didn't get, they don't get arrested.
No, no.
It's just.
Oh, and here's a 200% tax refund.
Thank you, job creators.
Do you need a PPP loan?
We can get you one of those.
I know you're the biggest.
company in the fucking world.
Don't worry. You won't have to pay him.
Oh, that's forgiven.
That's forgiven. Do you believe some podcast took out those loans?
Is that right? Yes. And they were forgiven. We could have gotten some, we could have just
rated the treasury. Wow. If only we were more keen to fucking abuse government assistance.
Don't tease me.
Yeah. So it's like, we're looking for such and such servers and we have this warm.
blah blah blah and it's like every server
they report to them on except the one server that only
the two, the bad server. The sibling fuckers have
access to. Yes, sir. And that's the one that is of course
controlling. Yes. The big thing. This big dog whistle in the sky
they got going for 24 hours a day. Literally a big dog whistle
in the sky. That's pretty dumb. They get
all of our heroes. I'm having fun with the movie, but that's
pretty dumb. We're at a military
command center at this point and
Colonel wrongheaded is here.
Everything I do will be absolutely wrong.
You bet your ass I will be making wrong turn
after bad decision this whole movie.
Under my leadership, we haven't won
a conflict since before Vietnam.
Now you've got to understand. People who
were in the military are the best.
The actual military are the
biggest group of fuck-ups in the
entire fucking world.
But this primate expert
and a disgraced scientist.
And then a he-haw, McGraw here,
forever. That's the winning combination.
The colonel is really funny, though,
because it's one of those like,
I am barely tolerating you, Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
You're only here because you're an FBI agent
or whatever, Homeland Security, whatever you are.
Other government agency, yeah.
But these other two people, I mean, neither of them has a badge of any kind.
And there's this scene, it's your classic, the team is going to take care of the problem
and we're going to watch them get murdered through night vision goggles.
I guess they're in Juliet, Illinois.
I don't know where we are exactly, but like,
getting close.
The McAllister's live right up the fucking road.
And it's, we see that the ape and the wolf are working together on the rock.
It's like, that doesn't make any sense.
They're both predators.
They should be tearing at each other.
What's going on here?
something. There's a mystery of it, Colonel.
It's kind of funny because he does, he gives
this like very sciencey response.
And the colonel's just like, what the hell
are these people? I don't
want science in here. I'm going to do it wrong.
God damn it. Treat it like
it's a video game. Explain it
to me like it's a video game. Well, he's
trying to play like a video game where you just shoot
you spray and pray, man.
Yes, exactly. Button mashing, they
call that. Oh, yeah. I'm going to throw some
moabs at it. Is this where he does
the mother of all? He mentions moab.
yeah, that's like the contingency
if they have to
like they don't want to
but if they have to
they will destroy Chicago
if we have to nuke Chicago
it's got to happen
look we don't mean to do it
just look
this is what happens
in all these movies
don't you understand
eventually we have to threaten
a big bomb
that's going to kill a couple of them
that's the biggest bomb
like just under nuke
I understand it's 2018
well the AV club sucks now
anyway do it
do it
sure
Oh, what? And pitchforks still there? Yeah, do it. Do it right now. Do it as quick as possible.
But, yeah, the colonel does give the order to evacuate the city.
This is something that I think this exists now in these kinds of movies post BVS. I think it was BVS. I think it was BVS.
Yeah. It was the backlash. I mean, I think our BVS episode was the creation of our gag about 75911 is happening.
And like just this rampant fucking destruction and yada, yada, yada.
And like after that, you get either like what happens in those Avengers movies where like they finally get in trouble for destroying shit or you get these half ass evacuate the whole city.
You know, so when we knock it to shit in 45 minutes from now, nobody will be dead.
Yeah, exactly.
Everyone's just fine.
It's just buildings.
It was just cans.
Which, you know, it's funny because those people are like, see, they evacuated.
It's just buildings.
are the same people a lot of the time anyway
that are like, but there's spray paint
in the windows of the best buy.
Yeah, I always love when people cry about like graffiti
or, uh-oh, someone broke a window
or someone, God forbid, stole something
or looted something, and they're so worried about
the structure of the building, this, that, and the other thing.
And then they're the ones that will never actually go to the city.
Oh, no, no.
Eric, it's not the fire.
It's not the good.
inside the best buy that you really want.
It's the best buy.
You want the whole fucking turn.
I swear to God, the day after the George Floyd
protests and all that stuff,
this guy came up to me.
It was, you know, in the middle of the pandemic.
It was over Zoom. It was a meeting.
Some older guy at my job was like,
Stephen, did you, did you hear?
They broke in to the best buy up the street.
I don't give a fly.
Could they act like it's their house?
They said, oh, the best buy is down.
They broke in.
They took.
a bunch of chargers that are going to break in three months anyway.
Stephen, they stole a Blu-ray of Far as good.
My pre-ordered copy of Super Mario Odyssey for the Switch was in that best buy,
and they burnt it to a crisp.
My Lord, all the dongles are gone.
There's no more fucking donkles.
Where am I supposed to get my car stereo now?
They took the surrounds out, and they shot it in there.
head?
They should be killed all these people.
They should shoot them.
I can't believe they hurt the best body.
They hurt the best.
If I wanted to choose between three different refrigerators for which one would be my
refrigerator, I would have gone there, but now okay, it goes to spray paint on it.
I have to go up and I have to go three blocks over to the other best bottle look at
refrigerators.
They're forcing me to a PC Richard makeup stop.
fucking so much for the tolerant left.
Whatever to the fucking Best Buy.
Whatever.
But yeah, so like now we're an hour and five minutes in, I will say,
and now it's time for the rampage.
Yep, finally.
Let's get rampage.
I did clock it.
I mean, I think there was enough, like,
there was enough pre-rampage before the rampage.
But now the rampage begins an artist.
I know it's CGI glop and whatever.
It's not light.
hitting, I thought the destruction
looked pretty good. I was surprised
by it as well. I was
I think it's well choreographed
even though like, you know, it's weird to say that
because nothing's actually happening. But like
usually it's just like, I don't know, like
those transformer movies, for example.
Like the CGI is better probably
in those films. However, because it's
more expensive. But the same
I, it's
shot in a way where I could understand
what's happening. Like the gorilla hit this
then the wolf bit that and then
here comes the lizard to do this
as opposed to like a big
optimist prime
nothing happening
well because like part you know
Transformers comparison to this is interesting
I mean one because there is one of those movies
that also ends up in Chicago at some point
but like those movies part of it is like
oh you got to get in there because of all the
little buttons and gizmos
that are flipping and flippin
when they transform and you want to get all up close
with that don't you care about how that looks
versus this where like what's
really smart about what they do for a lot of
it, you just have these huge-ass
copter shots, and we're looking at
things like the lizard thing,
swimming up the Chicago River, and like when
they get to the one building, you know, the climbing
up, the Willis Tower
or whatever it is there, you
know, it does actually like a
360, a chopper flies around the building,
and you can see the different parts of the building that
the monsters are climbing up and like
doing the rampage game
thing. Game shots are good. I like
the game shots quite a bit. I
got to say, though, this alligator
looks a little much, too much
like a Kadamari Damase
type thing. It's just too much shit
together. There's so much on it. This rolled over a bunch of
office supplies in a playroom. There's too much
fucking shit on me. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. There's too much
shit on the alligator. I don't want to be around anymore.
Yeah, totally. Another thing about the buildings
that looks good is because there are actual buildings
you know. It's sort of like how King Kong
went up the Empire State building versus
I don't know. You go to one of these
lesser cities across the country.
You destroy one of those.
Suddenly you're like,
what, what, okay,
they destroyed the best by this.
They're number one thing.
But it's nice to see these actual buildings
you know and love in Chicago.
Here's a great example, right?
When that T-Rex runs rampant
in the third act of the Lost World Jurassic Park,
I don't know, maybe it's stomping over
some San Diego fucking landmarks,
but nothing stuck out to me.
Nothing looked like a landmark, no.
I mean, feel free.
I mean, I also don't think they were filming
that in San Diego. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Oh, no, they fucking got
Sherry's shrimp shack. Oh, no. As bad it is
to use this much scale, CGI. There's another version where this
movie could exist, where it is shooting on the street in Toronto.
Yeah, totally. And it looks like nothing. It looks, it looks, I can't tell you
whether or not, and I think this actually was filmed in Georgia, because everything is. But
like, at the very least, it's a model rendering of Chicago. They get
Chicago right for the most part in terms of actually
make that look like Chicago.
So the Rock and Naomi Harris
steal a helicopter because they're like,
we're the only people who know how to do this.
We're going to go inside energy and get the antidote
and stop all this chaos.
There's a part where the Rock
threatens a military policeman that he's going to choke about
and make him piss himself.
Yes.
In front of the lady.
Yeah, you're going to piss in front of the lady.
You don't want to do a thing like that.
Oh, you don't have to piss.
I'll make you.
I'll put pitch in your black
Well this is
This is where I do
I agree with Eric
I think Dwayne Johnson
Is better than average in this movie
Yeah
And some of it is with shit like this
Where he does
So of course he starts beating the shit
Out of these two army guys
Right
And he's choking the guy
And he's just like see see
This is exactly what he didn't want to happen
See oh see
And I'm like that's
I was laughing at least
That's funnier than he gets to be
Because it's not like
I feel like so much of shit
Like in that fucking
terrible jungle cruise movie, right?
That was the Riverboat movie. It's just a lot of like jokes because either he's dumb or other
people think he's dumb. Yeah. And those are the jokes. And this is like as close as I feel
he's gotten to like Willis-esque quips. Yeah. Parts here and there. They don't let him
quip a lot in these movies. He says like, I'm going to say a big dumb thing that's going to make
you believe in my bravery and it's also kind of entertaining. And like that's the line.
Yeah. But it's never like, oh, that's fucking funny.
Yeah. So he's like, he's always Captain Nice guy and it's nice to see him, you know, threaten a man's bladder or whatever.
That's, I mean, that's a different is. I think like, Willis could do it because for whatever he is in Die Hard, he has a family. He's not a family man.
Yes. Whereas the Rock always has to be, with very few exceptions, a family man. And here he's not a family man.
Well, this is like one of the few exceptions, but like skyscraper technically should be his diehard. And the whole problem is.
is that it's his family
and he can't shut the fuck up
about his family
and how sad he is
that his family are kidnapped.
Yeah, I mean,
at least Bruce Willis in that first movie
like forgot about Holly
every once in a house.
It's just getting ready
to kill them German terrorists.
He'd get like one shot of her
at one point and you're like,
okay, yeah, he cares about her.
You can stop talking about it
and shoot someone.
Sure.
But so Jeffrey Dean Morgan
or Jeffrey Devereaux Morgan.
Boregard is like,
Well, that's my crawfish.
Pardon me, I was late to the big rampage here.
A couple of Benier orders I had to put through.
God, I was just hanging out with my good friend Emerald Lugosset.
Wow, look at that monster knocked down that skyscraper.
Bam, indeed, Emerald.
Emerald, you got it.
I got him on the phone right now.
Emerald, you should see this.
We could make so many alligator po-boys out of this man.
Oh, yeah, I already said, bam.
I got it.
Yeah, all right.
This could solve world hunger.
Oh, dude, you eat up this gator, man.
Oh, my God.
Gator's good eating.
It is.
Absolutely.
I like that.
But he gives them, he lets them steal the helicopter.
He's like, here's the satellite phone.
Call me when you get there.
We're working together.
They get to the facility.
They're looking around and immediately Malin Ackerman shoots the rock in the stomach.
Don't worry, folks.
That means nothing for the rest of the movie.
Oh, totally not.
Like, this is, yeah, it's.
It's him and Naomi Harris, like getting to the,
Oh, they get caught.
That's what it is.
They're sneaking the antidote out.
And Malin Ackerman and Jake Lacey like come into the lab.
And it's kind of an interesting, like, she doesn't even wait for any shit talking to happen.
She's just like, oh, you're stealing my antidote?
Blam.
Yes.
It's cool.
It makes her like a little more edgy Malin Ackerman's villain character.
The weirdest part, I would be trivia was going crazy about this because we'll talk about
about Malin Ackerman's death in a minute.
but everyone's like, oh, you knew what was going to happen
because she's wearing the red dress.
And I'm like, what the fuck does that?
Apparently the women in red dresses get eaten in the game,
but I'm not a fucking psychopath.
I'm going to let a woman wears a red dress.
Even in the rampage movie,
I'm not making that connection.
I was waiting for my fucking pepperoni pizza at Papa Gino's playing this game.
I wasn't being like, oh, what's the girl in the red dress doing in there?
What's she doing?
because I think with some of, like you can eat most of the people in the game.
Yeah, you can eat guys, gals.
But some people, along with some things, like if you try to eat a toilet or a bathtub,
they do the thing where like you put it in your mouth that chews it and then you spit.
I think some of the people can get spit out.
Oh, really?
Like if they have, if it's like a dude with a gun or something, maybe.
You know what they should do is Ralph should eat one of those people and snowball it into Georgia's right?
Oh, there we go.
So maybe this, maybe I'm screwing up here, maybe Devereaux, maybe Jeffrey Dean Morgan,
is there a character in the video game that says like, suck a tash or something?
He pops up when some destruction happened.
Shuck a tash.
Man, yeah, like it's the toasty guy, but he just a suck a dash.
That would be great.
Well, that must be him.
It's just like Ralph.
George eats Claire Whiden, who was wearing a red dress.
In the games, you could eat women wearing red dresses for points in health.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
Wear the red dress.
Oh, my God.
I love eating women in red dresses.
Oh, my God.
I'm 43 years old.
Oh, fuck, yeah.
Red dress.
Oh, fuck, yeah.
Oh, I'm fucking 15 years away from retiring for my job.
I'm not talking about the TV on the radio song.
I'm talking about this video game that nobody cares about.
I mean, honestly, if you can't get it on the classics library or a remodified version, clearly nobody cares.
I don't know.
There's plenty of video games.
I wish it could have played it.
It's a fun game, but, yeah, I did not pick up on the nuances that this film is.
Oh, the red dress. Oh, my God, the red dress.
The red red dress, yes.
By the way, the antidote, they're like looking in a bunch of freezers and whatnot.
And Naomi Harris is like, oh, it's going to say RPG on it.
Like the case is going to say RPG
And I was like, is
Everyone's still with us
At the end of the Rampage movie?
And then what happens?
We got to get into the helicopter
And it's got a crash.
Right, right, right, right.
But it's can't, we can't turn it on.
Like we're going to glide the helicopter down.
So, yeah, we're on the roof of the building.
Yes.
The Rock is just like, oh man, that that bullet
really didn't bother me.
He's like, oh, it didn't hit any major organs.
I'm cool.
Every hero.
Every hero now has to be half, like, field doctor and just like, oh, yeah, I went right through.
Oh, yeah, I just put some peroxide on.
It'll be fine.
The brother dies first, though, right?
No, they kind of died to say, yeah, she dies first, actually.
Really?
So they're up in the helicopter.
They're about to, oh, my God, we have one antidote left.
We could give it to George.
The George could fight the other monsters.
Because it won't, it's not going to shrink them.
Yes, it just makes the normal.
The rage part goes away.
and this is when Claire comes
Melanackerman's got a gun like,
not so fast. You're coming with me
and we're all going to get away
and you're going to have to re-engineer the rampage syndrome.
Totally.
I just let me put my red dress on.
Yeah, she's fucking wearing it.
She's fucking doing it.
Oh my God, look at her. I could eat her.
I did not see this coming.
It's great.
I thought it was awesome.
It was.
Well, yeah, because you didn't know about the red dress,
of course.
I didn't know about the red dress.
so the antidote goes into her purse
and they throw her into his mouth
basically. And he just gobbles
her up. It's pretty fantastic. And
she's got a good like, oh,
shit! Yeah. And then the
rock digs out her skull
out of the droppings and uses
as an ashtray. Totally. Well, he's got to
boil it a little bit like predator. You make sure
there's nothing left on it. You know, all the fucking
shit stains out.
That's a big pile of shit right there.
Could you, uh, hey, Rock,
if you're, if you're digging in there, can get that
red dress. I don't think that monkey
can digest the red dress. Yeah, I know
it's covered in a monkey shit. I know
everybody thinks Malin Ackerman's deathiness
is a little intense. I'm just
echoing the death of the greatest villain
of all time that lady
assistant from Jurassic World.
That was a good one too. She really got it.
Could have used a red dress. But meanwhile,
Jake Lacey is leaving
from the lobby in the building and he's like, oh boy,
you ran down all them stairs
pretty fast. It's me.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan, ladies and gentlemen.
It is this great, like, Lacey's, like, running out with a, with a briefcase in his hand or whatever, and he's like, now say I say, wouldn't you have yourself a big old laptop in there with a bunch of yomi information of me to take?
And he's like, yeah, and he's like, all right, I'll make you a little deal.
You give me the laptop and you can just run away.
How's that sound?
Yeah.
Mighty good.
Excellent.
And he just runs out, like, thanks, buddy.
And get smushed by a part of this.
building falling down and so good
to this movie's credit we have
blood splatter back on the door
window that's a good one oh yes
I was very fond of that and like yeah
it's it's a really good both of their deaths
are good usually you're expecting
only one to be good or you know what I mean
somebody gets away they're both good deaths
and this is where you'd expect the movie to end
yeah the villains have been bested
you would think this would be the end
no no this is what yeah this is where the movie
starts to lose you because
The building topples over.
And I mean, like, and they do keep showing that there are people,
because the evacuation could have, obviously wasn't going to be successful.
It was like three minutes.
Yeah.
And it's fucking Chicago.
Yeah.
So there are people.
And like, meanwhile, Jeffrey Dean Morgan's like, you can't drop that bomb there.
There's a lot of people down here.
And Dino's down there.
The Bears down there.
The best sandwiches and the.
Oh, Patillos allow you here.
No one's going to bomb Portillo's on.
I watch you.
And what happens to the
Rock and
Naomi Harris there
get into the helicopter?
And they kind of just
crash it into the ground.
And then they walk out afterwards
and say,
I can't believe we survived that.
It's something.
Me neither.
Like the helicopter has no
like tail on it.
And he's got
some goof tacular line
where he's like,
I'm going to start the top blade.
So that'll keep us like kind of
up in the air and we're just going to surf
the rubble to the bottom.
Steve, if you could.
Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt.
Yeah, dude, absolutely, both in the soundscape
and just for screenplay logic alerts.
It's going down and don't make no sense at all.
I mean, like, it's like, you're telling me, like, I'm watching this movie and
like you're watching my little, my little level going here.
It's like flat all the way through like, yep, and now that wolf bit the helicopter.
Oh, no.
Okay, yeah.
And, oh, yeah, we're, oh, Malin Ackerman eaten by that ape.
That's crazy.
But, you know, I'll buy it, whatever.
A big radio tower that makes these monsters come to them.
Absolutely fine.
But, oh, what's that?
You're going to surf a helicopter down a pile of debris.
Dard, dart, dart, dart, dart, dart, dot.
Oh, dude.
Boy, that's about as dumb as it gets.
At that point, you should just get the little, the little Mario guy in the cloud to go down, pick him up and drop him back down.
Oh, lock it two is going to do it, man.
Because his Mario card is not on.
Gotcha.
Yep.
It's not the wrong part of the course.
But so like now, he gives, the rock gives the George sound language.
This is the problem, I think, too, because it's the rock.
Again, if it wasn't, Matthew Broder is not the right person.
Pick somebody.
Usually is always the wrong person.
Wyatt Russell.
Yeah, Wyatt Russell or something, you know, just a regular, like, actiony hero,
but that's not a real action hero that's just like there to be the doctor.
A guy. Not a muscle-bound freak.
Because then it's like the rock has to get involved in the action.
He gets a big gun and another big gun.
And it's like he's not, doesn't matter.
It's about the monsters fighting each other.
Exactly.
And that's where this movie, I mean, exactly what you're articulating.
Because he's in it, the movie can't do that.
So instead you get this.
All right, George, let's go.
I've got a grenade launcher.
It's like, what the fuck?
And they fight this, the alligator thing.
and then...
The wolf gets dispatched pretty quickly.
They trick it into biting the wolf's head off.
Yeah, which is pretty cool.
Yeah, that thing getting its head bit off was pretty great.
And I kind of looked away for a second and came back and I was like, wait a second.
That thing gets its head bit off.
Rewind.
Oh, yes, it did.
Rewind again.
Within two minutes of the, oh, they fly now.
They fly now.
Yeah.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
It's dispatched like right after that.
But now it's like the invincible alligator guy.
And this is when the movie gets really boring.
because it is so invincible and nothing works.
That happens like six times in nine to 12 minutes.
And you know what?
No part of this alligator starts flashing to tell you which part to hit.
I really don't appreciate it.
I need to know where the arrows go.
Thought this was a video game adaptation.
Video game rules, dude, always attack the eyes.
If you can, always attack the eyes.
Also real life, too.
Oh, yeah.
The best part to get someone.
You break someone's eye out.
They're done for the day, usually.
Totally.
the rock goes inside of an aircraft
or a fucking
you know whatever an air bomber
and it's like shooting the thing nothing happens there
he throws a bunch of bombs and it's
ear nothing happens oh well that's the
great uh he chucks
like he's got this grenade launcher
and he shoots the grenades into it's got
like gills at this point fish
gills and it gets it right in there
and I was like oh that's actually
kind of that's like that's a total video
game thing like when its gills are open
that's when you put the grenades in
And I thought because this is a Dwayne Johnson movie,
I was like, this is what's going to happen.
Its fucking head is going to blow off and he's going to kill it.
And he does it.
It actually survives that stunningly.
It survives.
There's just another perfectly placed helicopter.
And he's like, oh, good, this hasn't been decimated.
That doesn't work.
But then yet here comes George with the pipe.
Yeah.
Through this thing's fucking eyeball.
Right.
When all hope is almost lost.
Oh, right.
The rock's about to eat shit.
The Rock's about to eat shit and curdle wrong head
is going to drop the Moab on him no matter what
but that he sees that the gorilla
beats the thing and is now being
nice as a son of a bitch
Oh I could be fired
for this. No Moab
please. And the Rock has some line about
George because George is now thought to be dead
Yes. And it's he's just like
he saved my life
and she's like
he saved a lot of people's lives.
He absolutely did not. He killed
so many people.
people. He killed so
many people. But
like innocent people, like school kids
he's stepping on him.
People do not have their
oh boy, everyone's going to be crying a night
because their daddy ain't coming home from work
because George fucking farted
on him. But it doesn't matter, Steve, because
immediately after
Naomi Harris said that to DJ,
all DJ does is look around
and he sees a little white girl
running with the arms of little white mother
and he goes, he did.
He did absolutely objection.
That's, I, I want to hear, I want to hear the, the general be like, it's time, you know, this proves one thing for all.
We got to stop listening to military men like me.
Start listening to military men like the rock.
That's right.
And then, man, this last part, I was like, you can go fuck yourself.
What?
this ape
well George's died for sins here
he's got like a spear through him
but he doesn't even
that's actually a good point
but he doesn't even have the courtesy to wait
fucking three days dude so it means
anything yeah he waits fucking
three minutes and then it's like
oh George is dead and the
rocks feeling fucking sad about it
and then it's like oh what's that did he just move
did he George is that your pulse is that your
giving the fucking finger
oh the ape's given the
fucking finger George you twist it
sense of humor. This is, I mean,
we should play the Every Which Way But Luce song
here, because that's kind of, it's a Clyde
move. It is a Clyde move. Dude, all
it needs is to open a fucking room temperature
Coors banquet here. And then, the
best part of the movie happens.
When he sees the two of them there together
and he's asking the rock if they're friends
with each other. Yeah.
Yeah, we are. And then the ape
starts doing the dick in a hole
thing. Yeah. The old finger in the hole.
Yeah.
Oh, full
up a star for that alone.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
And meanwhile, the rock is like,
Dert, Dert, Dert, Dert, Dert, Dert.
No, we don't, we don't do that.
George, we never do that. We never ever do that.
Did you teach your ape that?
You sick, fuck.
George, what did I say?
We take care of ourselves.
We take care of ourselves.
No sex.
We cannot be giving our essence to other people, George.
George just started to jerking off in the middle of Chicago now.
Absolutely.
Let him do it.
Let him do it.
He's taking care of himself.
No, no, George, get it in the river.
Get it in the river.
Listen, that man
saved so many lives today.
He's earned this.
I'm sorry.
It's like,
chirk, chirk, chirk.
Oh, that's actually true.
Echoes through the city.
Is there a logging company in here?
No, it's a giant
jerking off.
They started reconstruction already?
Ah, yeah.
So the movie really, really just ends.
with the old finger in the whole
There's a bunch of marshmallow on this street
Oh my God, it's the same
You just insert the same Willem Atherton shot
Ghostbusters
Absolutely
That's what should happen to
fucking Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Oh yes
Oh, shuck attach
Oh, splash
My eyes, the goggles
Do nothing
He can't believe I'm going to drown
A monkey cub
I just took nature
gumbo to the face.
Just like my
grandpappy dying and
monkey cuck. My grandpappy,
you know what he used to say, you don't need no
concrete if you got monkey cum.
You can put up a house
and monkey come. That's true.
That's actually true.
Stunningly, this movie
no fucking stingers or nothing.
Shocked by it. I was, yeah.
Very shocking. And that's another
reason why we must support ramping.
Honestly, like,
Dude, you're watching a movie that is
concerned with just Rampage 1.
Yeah, exactly.
You could do worse.
You know what?
If Rampage 2 happened, which it won't,
they could just pick up the ball.
Oh, no, another canister that nobody ever saw was there.
Exactly.
Whatever.
That's it.
We thought Marley Shelton brought back three.
She actually brought back four.
Now there's a big fucking poodle walk.
Or George bites another gorilla and he turns to do a rampage.
Oh, sure.
No, it's coming through the saliva, you see.
Exactly.
No, but that's,
that's Rampage, the one and only
so far. I don't know. I didn't look.
Our 47, ladies and gentlemen.
Not too shabby on that. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah. I'll start us off
here. I would recommend this movie.
I stunningly had a lot
of fun with it. It's stupid
and it's violent.
Combine those things. It's
easier for me than most to have a
good time. That's just
me. Chris Cabin. It's
a light not recommend. I do
appreciate the
a stupid and violent.
If it's going to be this stupid, I
needed a lot more violent.
How my equation goes.
I do think this is a little bit more
digestible than most of
Johnson's like extra stuff.
Although like San Andreas,
you got Paul Giamatti. He's
there. There's little treats
and Neb Campbell is in skyscraper.
I have people like, this I got
sack a task. And I'm like,
Naomi Harris is doing nothing.
So it's fine. But like,
I wasn't crazy about this, but it certainly did not put me off.
Yeah. Eric Siska.
Yeah, it's a light recommend for me.
I think you're right about the violence.
I mean, yes, Chris, I always want more violence.
I don't think you're getting more violence in an American movie necessarily,
or at least a big fucking CGI rock movie.
A man can dream.
Yes.
I mean, yes, yes, you have a dream.
So an action scope such as this mixed with the violence and viscera of, say,
like an art the clown motion picture, that's what you're going.
for a terrifier level of
gore? It looked like
we're all Shaw Brothers people here.
The boxer's omen is what I'm really looking for.
Or how about like a
kaiju movie directed by S. Craig Zola?
Oh, don't.
Oh. That monster's got
some iffy politics.
Godzilla dragged across concrete.
Give me that tomorrow.
Yeah. So, you know, it's a light recommend
for me. I thought it was fun enough time.
And the violence satiated
my bloodlust at least. There you go.
Adek. Yeah, it's a rampage movie. It's actually pretty okay for being a rampage movie.
It's also now, like, I don't even know, I'd have to really do the math. Top five video game adaptation,
maybe top two. I mean, like, it does all I wanted to do, not much less. I do think the rock is the
problem. I think anyone, he is charismatic, et cetera, et cetera. But like I said, like at the end of the
movie, it has to satisfy the requirements of being a rock movie, which it shouldn't have to do. It should
just satisfied being a Rampage movie,
which it almost does pretty well.
Oh, well, you know who you...
You gotta bring in the old master.
Hello, I'm Matthew Brodrick,
here for Rampage 2, Ralph's Revenge.
Oh, yes.
