Thank you. Click! What's going on everybody? Welcome to On screen live. This is the we hate movies, I don't know, Recap show, movie recap show, whatever you want to call it. Big day today. We got to get into a lot of stuff, but it's a big, big day,

because you guessed it, folks, although you definitely did not. It is my beautiful wife, Chelsea's birthday today. Happy birthday, Chelsea. I'm in here doing this, and then we're going to go get Chinese food. So, all right, folks, here it is. We're going to bring in two dudes who love watching movies just as much as I do. we have, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yes, yes, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, is your tag, uh, are you still

or is that just a leftover from last week. No, this is a new, this is a new hangar. Okay, got it. So what happened was, uh, I was left alone for the entire weekend. Uh, that's, you know, you know, uh, and so yesterday, I was like, you know, it's a great idea. Let's drink three margaritas within like this span of like two hours. Yeah, yeah, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, doesn't do dumb shit like that to give himself bad hangovers. As you know him, you love him. Mr. Eric Siska. Now, I'm doing, I'm, I'm getting back into books, fellas. Uh, uh, I want to run this scenario by you.

This, uh, it's in this book. Mm-hmm. What, what, what is that book, Eric? Well, it's Jim Belushi's, uh, real men. Now it says, according to Jim, it used to be can't Real men don't apologize. A little bit. Multiple, multiple, multiple, and she sees you see, and she sees you, do you, a challenge to darts, pool or whatever, bar game you have mastered.

The stakes are the winner gets a blow job. Oh, my God. Or do you, B, look away quickly before she sees your interested, tell your buddies that this chick is giving you the eye and keep finding excuses not to talk to her until, she leaves or she'll at her to stand up in the bar so that you can see how big her ass is by the way over there send her a drink walk over and introduce yourself and trust your charming personality to get you somewhere now if you are Antonio Benderas B will D will work yeah but uh I like a the game the game the game the game the game the game the game you're going to beat her and then she's going to give you because because you're doing what you would normally do and if she used to blow you if you beat her at pool so you probably would get along pretty well so Eric Jim Belushi's advice here is you see a lady yeah spy a lady from afar at the bar right never met her before in your life sure and you walk up to her and you're opener is let's play pool and if I beat you, you have to suck my cock. That's what we're talking about. This is the advice that this dude is given out. Also, similarly, what's the opposite? What if she wins? I mean, I know she won't, she's a woman. But what if she were to climb that mountain and beat you at pool, Eric, do you have to give her a blowjob? How does that work? Well, I guess, I don't know. I haven't gotten to the oral sex chapters yet. I don't know what he's totally willing to do. Hopefully that would be.

you know, you know, I imagine. I imagine, uh, uh, you know, you know, you know, you know, I imagine, uh, uh, um, yeah, yeah, uh, yeah, the best blow jobs are the ones given under duress, uh, or the, oh, yeah, the begrudging blow job. I guess I have to, hostage situation. The best blow jobs are the ones we had along the way. Just had to make sure that we're completely demonetized this week. Absolutely. Get that out of here. Get it out of here. You don't need it. No. Hey, but speaking of monetizing shit, just a quick reminder for, before we get in to one, a massive tour update.

talking about John Wick, we just want to go back through remind y'all we are going on tour starting pretty soon and just getting it out there again. 518 we're going to be in San Francisco at Cobbs Comedy Club talking about the great Star Trek for the voyage home.

It's going to be fun as fuck there. Do we have to travel back in time to get to do that show or The show is in 1960. I hope he could make it. I'm my. And then we don't have to back in time

because it's twins in Los Angeles. Yeah, yeah. He is just leading on that leading on him. I've always wondered about this. Like, is he on a string of some kind, you know, like the Michael Jackson video? No, they have the hook from the Apollo on him. They green screened it out.

I like the idea that it's wire foo is what's making this happened. Well, it's kind of a legendary it is. I've always wondered about that. That's on 522. We're going to be the beautiful town of New Brunswick, New Jersey playing a show at the state theater New Jersey talking to the birdcage. It's a WLM recording. Absolutely. That's going to be a ton of

fucking fun. I can't wait to rewatch that movie. Can't wait to do that show. That's right. I cannot wait to be at that event and the other ones too. First show in my adopted new home state.

Look at this awesome art by Philippe. Fucking great. As always, we've been sitting on this art for a really long time. I'm just super stoked. We can finally

show people, all of that good stuff. We sat up this for so long. We saw this come up again in our I was like, are we reusing old art now? Like I thought that we had like done this for something else. And I was like, no, no, no, no. Oh, no, no, no. I am so excited for this. And tickets are on. I think there's pre-sale happening now, right? Pre-sale is happening right now at moment.com slash we hate movies where you go for all our virtual live stuff now.

This does have the add-on package folks. We'll be doing another Q&A hangout. Those get ridiculous. So, yeah, it's going to be a ton of fun. We love doing these virtual live shows. So we know, obviously, you know, we're not fucking dead in company, man. We don't make 50 stops a year. A lot of folks can't make it out to the shows where we're in our beautiful

flesh so we take our flesh and put it. And just a real quick, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, like, uh, we're split. I think this is a weak question mark movies. I haven't seen this movie in like at least 20 some odd years. Yeah. I remember really liking it, uh, at the time. I'm going to just find out how it shows holds up the night before. And now we'll, we'll put the, uh, middle letter in on the, uh, on the episode. You know, I think I actually have never seen it, I think. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. So it just, I'm excited, though, because this is part of a larger monkey theme we're doing. For April, nice, big, fucking bonus ape. And of course, the biggest fucking fatest bonus ape is King Kong.

Yes. So we had to do it. Yeah, you know, I'm with you, Steve. I could not tell you the last time I saw this movie. I was ape for King Kong 2005 when it came out. I fucking loved it. saw it on, I think it on, I think it was just DVD. I think it's just DVD. I think it's like, it's like, I'm out of control. I'm sure. I was obsessed with how they made the movie. You know, but at the same time, yeah, I'll make fun of a fucking ape sliding on ice folks. Like, it's okay to play both sides of the fucking ball, you know. Exactly. So we will see. But yes, moment.com slash we hate movies. April 20th, it's 10. technically, you know, you know, so that's pretty cool. Not technically at all. It literally is. It's a

to have some word tequila, you fucking loser. And obviously, you know, we can't wait to see in San Francisco and Los Angeles and virtually. And New Jersey as well. Joy. And New Jersey. I keep forgetting. Yes. Yes. That's right. Did they give you a sash for your 10 year mark at all? Or 12 year mark? I'm the new mayor of New Jersey. though the mayor of the mayor of the mayor of the mayor of the mayor of the mayor. I'm, man. You could do like anything then, right? Public executions, round of posse. Oh, all that and more.

So yeah, folks, that's all the tour stuff here. So let's get down to it. We got a lot to cover today, including, of course, running the box office numbers. This is highest gross. All right. Before we get into the top five, a couple of the limited release I just wanted to chat about real quickly here.

The first one up, I have no intention of seeing this the new Zach Graff movie. Wow. A good person with his ex-girlfriend, Florence Pew and Morgan Freeman. I misread the show doc that we have for this. And I saw it at the bottom of it. I was like, this movie made.

money. The answer is no. Yeah. Yeah. It was a, it was a little. It was a lot. It was a lot. It was a lot. It's, it's right. It ain't great. Do you think Morgan Freeman was devastated when they broke up? Do you think he was like, oh, no, those two are so perfect together. I can't believe. I just can't believe it. And on top of them being so perfect for one another, of cause this now threatens the release of my new movie. He probably broke up. He probably broke up. He's oh no. Mommy and daddy are fighting. I got sad. Florence Pugh just woke up in one morning and it was like, oh fuck, I'm dating who? Yeah. Yeah. So that'll, you know, be fucking streaming near you real soon. And the other one, just to bring up from our good friends at IFC, it's the new Stephen Frears movie, the lost king. Stephen Friars, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, including Philomena, which they advertise in the poster here. Um, but this is, uh, Sally Hawkins and Steve Coogan. Gotcha. That is really prominent placement of that other movie's title on that poster. Like they're trying to trick you in or something. Well, it's

to say, it's to say, it's to say like, hey, this is from the director of Philomena. And if you'd like that one, you might like this one. It's about, you want me to fill. You want me to filler, Jesus Christ. No, no, no, she, no, no, no, no, no, that's not what that movie's about. Oh, oh, yeah, oh, yeah. Um, yeah, that's about filling holes and then, no, anyway, uh, no, she plays, Sally Hawkins plays like an historian who's, something, something, Richard III, man, I don't know. Sure. I mean, it's what a Stephen Freer's King movies, you know, in, in his crown, uh, his royalty movies, the royalty box set that is going to come out. It's going to be this fucking big. Precisely, precisely. So, you know, you're around. Lost King's got a really small window. have even been day and date. You know, they could have lost it, folks.

So it might not even be coming to a screen near you. That's right. We lost the Lost King. All right, so now break into the top five. Not a ton of surprises here. We'll start off, boom, Dino Town. Nice, 65, still in it. And I'll just put it out there right now.

everything kind of just like like bopped down one from last week with with John Wick in so that means if you remember last week bye bye in the top five of the box office not even a fucking month in theaters good God

Sony week three of this guy 3.2 million it's yet to open in some large foreign markets like I believe Japan South Korea and China a lot of going movie going public there I don't know how they're going to feel about

dino action, but, but I bet they but us. What a terrible it still, it still continues to be a in two years. In two years, it's just going to be that Adam Driver Dino movie. That's it. Yeah. Well, yeah. You'll have no idea how to get to that title. You know what I was thinking about actually? Remember

that the Tom Cruise movie, live, die, repeat, and like it came out as something else. Edge of Tomorrow? Yeah, I think That's right. When they, when it came out on home video or something, they really tried to be like, no, this is what we originally wanted to call it before, like, studio interference. This has to go the opposite. This is like, when it comes out on DVD, you got to call it Dino Mania. Adam Driver in Dino Mania, get 65 out of there, and just make people forget that that's the fucking original title because it's so bad. Mm-hmm. This show is sponsored by better help.

Yeah. I feel like we might have a new variant of Kang coming up. That's even more dangerous than the previous Kang and has no credible assault allegations behind it as well. I think that might be be. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. It's fucked up. It's fucked up. It's fucked up. It's not of my

business, I was looking at a bunch of shit over the weekend. People devoting like hours of their time to fighting about it and whatever. And it's like, it's a bad situation, man. And that's your, that should be your opinion on it. Is it's a bad situation and it's got nothing to do with you. Another bad situation with Creed 3. Apparently it's already coming out to digital like in a week or. Oh, really? The 31st and it's just like, you're still number three in the box office. You're you're you're you're like you're like you're like you're like a half mil. Especially in the face of a massive movie that came out this weekend.

Like yeah, you should have closed that window. I mean, that's the thing is like I don't know how often you can readjust those negotiations. So it's like if you say the window is X and then it goes streaming. I don't know if you can then be like, oh fuck, it's doing really well. Can we keep it out? Like the streaming people are like, man, man, man, we were looking to make our money at this date. I don't particularly know the ins and outs and what have yous of all of that.

But it just seems like they should have been a little higher on this movie. Speaking of movies, you fucking bet high on Man, Scream 6. Now at number three, still rocking and rolling here at, where were we doing? Week 3 with 8.5 mil. Wow, look at that. Two We 8 movies posters in your production. You get $8 million week three. That's the guarantee

A little plug. A little A little bit. I watched the The dead meat podcast Like the video podcast and they had Oh cool. Fucking entertaining as I'll get out And those three dudes are like They're the real deal. They're totally charming You can tell that they fucking like believe in the shit that they're making

Real smart convo really cool shit A lot of like behind the scenes about like making the movie or whatever. the cameo for our uh, uh, let me just pat myself yeah, oh, oh, yeah, oh, you're welcome, Paramount.

Ooh, uh, uh, dude, so check this out. Here we go. Now, speaking of internet controversy. I can't watch that video. I don't know what that video is. Oh, it's like crying in it.

I don't know what's going on. I was supposed to be with Hawk, man. I saw like a little bit of it and like he's like he's like he's like he's also like I just want to talk about the truth and we got to follow the truth and I was like you're a fucking QAnon person aren't you that's how fucking twisted your mind is Shazam he is going to be in a Hunter Biden laptop movie in the Hunter Biden laptop universe of film he will be he will definitely be making a quick stop there. I mean, dude, I mean, dude, like, like that guy particularly. I just wasn't a Chuck fan. I never had anything personally against him. And make that up Chuck. Exactly. But I just vomit. That show was what? He's like a geek squad guy who then is recruited to be a spy by a sexy lady or something. Exactly correct. Sounds right. Capital S, capital L sexy lady. Ooh, was that USA original programming? No, I think that was a network television. I might have been NBC. shit, because that reeks, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, but it's, uh, it's a very nice number to drop here.

69% fall from your first week, which is not as bad as ant man, but only by a little bit. Yep. Just, you know, it makes me wonder, folks, are people getting tired of these fucking slap together garbage superhero movies? Yes. It's, it's curious where we're going to go with these, uh, Yeah. It's going to be interesting to be. They, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they're a whole bunch of reasons that other lady from Marvel got fired. Uh, and she's suing back because she was part of Argentina in 1985, but also, like, is she's being scapegoated for the visual effects stuff, like, a ton of stuff's going with all this stuff because all of this is slap dash and nobody cares. And it's where the, we're in the, we're, we're, we're talking about Shazam 2 here. Like, like, nobody is getting up for Shazam 2. I did, well, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think we're going, I mean, I mean,

I'm going, look what's surrounding it. John Wick, Unstoppable, Scream Six, Creed, like, I feel like we are kind of waning on the superhero phenomena. Oh, absolutely. And, you know, frankly, you just mentioned it, Eric, but, you know, the number one movie in the fucking world right now is a movie that they took their time making John Wick for, I mean, you know, they didn't just crank out a number one. one right away. You can tell. We'll talk about it. We talk about the movie a little bit more. Like, like, like, like the other. They are made completely differently. They're made for different fucking reasons. They share reasons for being made. Of course. But they also share different reasons for being made. But Jesus Christ, week one, $73.5 million. Check this shit out. Biggest R-rated opening since the pandemic.

Like. Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, like, um, uh, so like, a Dolby, whatever, basically any of your high-end shit that's not an IMA. So like, those Dolby experiences, Regal R.PX screens, all that shit. So people were like, I want, not only do I want to see this movie, I want to see it in some of the best ways possible because it also had, oh, what's the number here? there was another $1 million dollars of this gross. so like people were really going out.

someone in the chat asks, just see John Wickford and skip two and three which they haven't seen. And I say yes. I didn't rewatch two and three on my rewatch. I just watched one and this one. And this one is not as, you don't have to know like the fucking currency system

of the hitman as much. Yep. That's good. So I've actually, I would absolutely you could absolutely you would be totally you know you just I mean you know he's looking to take down

the high table which is I don't even know if they really mention the high table in the first movie it's like the the organization that you know organizes all you got to watch when you're making reservations now because sometimes it'll be like oh we have a table for but it's a high top table is that what we're talking about

I don't want to sit at a high top table I want a real table God damn it The whole thing is about a, just a restaurant inconvenience. Well, well, Jonathan, first your wife dies and then your dog is murdered and then they fucked up your car and now a bad seat at a restaurant, Jonathan.

Anything sets him off, dude. Yeah, I'm thinking I'm going to kill the guy who runs open table.com. Oh, excuse me. does your ticket at this movie theater no does because you're in my seat. I like where this is all going.

that's fucking Eric Wick God damn. Don't get me started. Actually, you know, I saw a movie not only did I see John Wick this week in a theater that didn't have a signed seat. What a lucky day for me. But the other movie I saw this week was Full River Red and people took my

assigned seats and you know what I did? I acted like I sat in the other area. I didn't make a I didn't act entitled. I was just like hey, you know what? This is the one rare rare occasion that I got to the movie like right when the trailers were almost over. It's on me. That happened to me and I think I think we told the story but we wanted moving two to three times because we were like oh well fine this lady's got our seats. I'm not going to make a big deal out of it. Yeah. She also seemed like she's definitely She's just moved somewhere else Oh, she's like, she's like, she's like, I'm like,

Oh, damn it's sitting in the front row. That's the thing is one person can now make that domino effect and destroy the whole system. It's true. That's why you shouldn't be a fucking asshole about it at all and sit where you're supposed to. Anyway, we'll get to the discussion of some of these movies in a minute, but there's some new stuff

that dropped coming attraction wise that we should be keeping our eyeballs on in this segment we have called trailer segment. Louis Dreyfus, who has worked with her before. So guys, we have the trailer ready to rat and roll. Now, a few folks at home, if you didn't know, we tried to do a big like a big trailer

extravaganza one day. Well, YouTube didn't like that too much. Warner Brothers didn't like that too much because we played their Flash trailer and we got kicked off the air. So now we just sync up the trailers in our home studios and just sort of react to them. So if y'all are curious,

It's the A24 channel on YouTube. You hurt my feelings is the trailer. Dude you guys synced up. All right. We'll start this sucker in three, two, one, go. Walking with some pizza. Is that with that? Oh, no, donuts. Donuts. Got it wrong. Ooh, Doug Moe, improv legend, Doug Moe. That's kind of fun. Yeah, cool to see him in a movie. I also, this coming out in May, this has got November. written all over folks. I want to I want to have a codon when I see this film. Yes. Yep. You're totally right, Steve. They're jacket movies. We need to understand this as a society. You want to have soup after you watch this film. You don't want to, you know, this is not a summer. Then I'm going to go to

like a beach party. Yeah. No, you're absolutely right. And it makes me wonder like what else A24 has coming down the line for like end of year. Um, this kind of is great. The guy. The guy, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, and um, too too too too too too too too too too too. Yeah. It is funny to cast them as like a bickering married couple. I think that's great. I mean, and I love, uh, Nicole Hollis Center. I think, uh, can you ever forgive me is one of my favorite movies of the last like 20 years? Like, again, but I just, I need my fucking scarf on, baby. Yeah. And she wrote that, Steve. Is that right? Yeah, she did. Yeah, I was going to say. Um, oh, a good Jenny Lewis tune here in the trailer too.

Oh, and this is And when this is, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, and was, uh, and they fired her for being, quote, too old. That's cool. That's great. That's just fucking great. Isn't it Colin Joe 60? It's kind of a great like, this could also be like, like, obviously, like, it's a more serious, like, rom-com, is relationship, dramedy. This could also be the plot of a Seinfeld episodes being in a little. Julia Louis like someone

someone over here is someone like someone in the bookstores the wrong thing you know yeah I'm just this is this is all this is entirely my alley

of movies that I want to see though for sure yeah yeah um the movie that she's in that Hollisenter did with her and Gandalfini

yes an upset that's a good one that's a great movie that I'll never watch again because the Gandalfini oh yeah because he's he's too beautiful of a soul in that movie

like I can't just would hurt too much. And Julia Louis is just obviously and Tobias Benzzi's there which is kind of cool I always loved him on Rome if anyone else

Rome heads out there Yeah Brutus So yeah this is out wide From 824 and 526 I agree with you Steve It should be a November thing Purely for the setting

It's not like I don't think it's very much related to like award stuff because I mean, the best picture winner of this past year was released in like March. Yeah, you know, movies don't do that a lot. It was like that Grand Budapest was another one that was like a March or April release that wound up going all the way to the Oscars. So who fuck knows? I mean, you guys put the Oscars anyway.

But you're right, I should be able to go out to Mendez and get a fucking bowl of soup after I see this movie. Now, the other movie, I wanted us to get eyes on this trailer because I saw a trailer for it. it, this very one, before John Wickford. I was laughing this. You're watching this in real time. It's a new movie from Tim's it's called, we can't all die first. Is that what it's called? Because the trailer says something different here. This is the blackening I've got here.

Oh, I'm sorry, you can't. The blackening, yes. Why did I say you can't? Oh, because I've been the tagline. You know, and so this is. And it's bigger than the title. This is another. That's what confused me. The movie, yes, okay, okay, good call. The tagline, the tagline, bigger the tagline is, we can all die.

I'm surprised it doesn't say Philomena on the room. Well, actually, I mean, it's like Tim's story, man. You can be like, hey, the dude that directed all those huge barbershop movies. Oh, and those fantastic four movies everybody loved. Absolutely. Absolutely. Dude, I have seen some like whispers of people real. evaluating those movies. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. I got to get the movie. I'm sorry. I'm

I'll be wide on 616 as well. Gaining some weight, you know. Yeah. So I will just say, because I have watched this file here on YouTube, we are going to get a trailer for the trailer. So here we go. Three, two, one, go. Oh yeah. This trailer for the trailer. I don't care for it's the trailer. I fucking it's so fucking infuriating. Yeah. Yeah. We're not talking about the Fantastic Four this time around. Absolutely not. Oh god. Yeah. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Unless it's like racist Jumanji. I like this. Possibly more racist Jumanji, I guess I would say. Yeah. slightly more maybe. also maybe.

also also kind of a thing going on. Totally. Oh, man. The killer The killer kind of The gumbas

I can't get a good shot of him. Yes, yes, yes Yes, it's like a lizard-sk Kind of mask. Yes, it's like a lizardy S&M mask. Gotcha. You ever see any of those in your adventures, Steve? No, in my adventures? Yeah, you know, your adventures.

Yeah, when you're doing it. This fucking board game, it looks fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was delighted by that dude. I had no idea. The trailer, I just made, the trailer. The trailer, I believe, I believe, there was some language that got the cut out of the one we just watched here, I think. But very funny shit. I'm looking forward to this quite a bit. 616 from Lionsgate. Lionsgate having an interesting year, man, because of course they also had John Wick 4, which we can get to right now. So I know I saw it, Eric, you saw it. Steve, did you get a chance to see him? I did not. Not for any, just got a little busy this weekend. Yeah. I liked it. I was not as big on two and three because they're dealing with like hitman Mazda dealerships and how the fucking economy of the hitman work. And it was just convoluted to me. But this new one I thought was pretty solid. There was only really one thing you had to wrap your head around, which is yeah, there's bulletproof suits now. And that just enables us to do longer. action scenes. Yeah, the bulletproof suits, I believe, I believe, but this is like, but this is like, they're really popular in this world. It feel like it was like a pilot program for some of the hit men, but like, because there's some line about he gets some new suit made, I think in three or two.

And it's like, blah, blah, blah, bulletproof fabric. But this is like, we are using it a lot. And like, if I do have to weigh a criticism on this movie, it's a little to Deis X fucking suit jacket. You know, because like he holds up, Steve, Steve, like, like, like, you know, like using it's like this, yeah, like using it as a bulletproof vest a lot in the movie. They all are. It's not just John Wick. Yeah. Well, it allows you to kind of like have basically, like sword fights, but you're shooting people. Oh, actually, I put the code in before I came into this area. So I don't take damage. I don't take damage when I get shot. It's in God mode. God damn it. But yeah, you know, like, Larry Fishburn, not in at a ton, but Ian McShane, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's given him a lot more to do, which is nice. Yeah, and, you know, it's a long movie, but I didn't really feel the runtime. I thought it really was well-paced, all things considered. I, um, I wasn't thinking about the runtime. I didn't even get up to go to the bathroom.

I was actually kind of surprised, saw it in a packed house on a Saturday morning. Not a lot of people getting up to go to the bathroom. Oh, well, you know, I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, how did, uh, Lans Reddick, the got, the fallen God King, uh, fair in this one, uh, not a huge role. Not a huge role. No spoilers, but yeah, not, not a huge role. Um, I thought, I mean, the fucking fights, man, um, um, good. I like seeing some arrows. I love a good arrow. You know, what's kind of funny, Eric is I, uh, was reminded of, um, um, I was reminded of,

of our little John Wick commentary out now on Patreon because when I was watching the arrows there's a mention you have in that commentary if we went back in time to like prequel days John Wick's like some ancestor of John Wick I forget what the bit is but you're like oh I guess they'd have to use arrows then or something boom dude the universe heard you here's the arrows so totally awesome

We got to talk about a man Scott Adkins Scott Adkins A heavy set German man He's so funny He's so funny The voice he's doing Really funny

And then he's also just doing Amazing martial arts Because he's an amazing martial artist Totally fucking baller Donnie Yen comes in here Yep As this character Kane Who's like another hitman friend

of John Wick Steve and it is, it's, it's just great. I mean, right? because, right? He's also, he plays, he plays, too. Yes. So this character, Kane is also a blind guy, but, like, seeing him do, like,

all the, like, fighting with his, like, sword stick and stuff, it fucking totally kicks ass. He has a lot of good scenes with Hirouki Sonata, who's also in the fucking movie. folks in home, he's the dude. He played, uh, uh, uh, you played, uh, like, like, uh, among, among many, many, other things. The dude's, real life scorpion. Well, you know, before the get over here days. Um, but Donnie and Her Yucasana have like, scenes together. They fight each other, which is fucking awesome. That's pretty cool. Um, you can kind of see in this movie how,

and I mean, they're already doing it with the spin-off movie ballerina that's coming out. But like, You can see them in this, making a really concerted effort. But it all feels expanded, like Shamir Anderson is another hitman in the movie, like a Mr. Nobody type character. Yeah, like an Americana, Westernware, tracker kind of look, which is cool. Yeah, which is. And I thought he was fucking great. And then, oh, man, Steve, you're going to be so psyched for Clancy Brown, dude.

Ooh, ooh. He plays a character called The Harbinger. Oh, I mean, it. I mean, it totally, even, even, I mean, I'm the harbinger. I'm the harbinger. And then John Wick takes over France. Oh, wow, that's cool. Yes.

It was pretty sweet, man. We did a lot of shooting in Paris and I was like recognizing places, including this isn't a spoiler or anything, but there's an action sequence on the steps up to sacri-cure. which Chelsea and I ascended those very steps. doing it once almost killed us. Wicks got to do it like four times in the movie for a hilarious like Buster Keaton-esque reason. I just got so tired watching this dude's poor legs

pumping it up those stairs, man. Quite an action set piece. The French put up more resistance against John Wick than Germany. There you go. You got to break the window with your blue card, dude. I don't have the thing set up. man. Yeah, it's tough. You know, you know, but yeah, a lot of great set pieces going to, you see a new hitman hotel in Osaka, Japan,

fucking gorgeous set design with all of that. It's just the craft of this. This is what I was kind of getting at we were talking about like Shazam and whatnot. Like the craft put into this movie. I'm not saying there aren't, you know, people that work hard on Marvel movies. of course there are, but like, like, like these people who made this movie were given time by their fucking corporate overlords to actually make the movie. And doing actual stunts that maybe are enhanced by CG, but it's not the other way around, you know what I mean? Because when you're doing, you're making a movie, you're not making a franchise. I mean, obviously it's a franchise, but like the idea is like, hey, let's get this one out and then we'll make another one and then we'll make another one and then we'll make another one as opposed to like, here's my fucking.

It's all about the PowerPoint. It's, you know what I mean? It doesn't matter. It's the PowerPoint that's the powerpoint that's on it. So who cares if you have enough time to make all those movies? I don't give a shit. Those all have to happen. So the PowerPoint is true. Yep, exactly. So it turns out we didn't have to lie to all the fucking nerds at Comic Con and then they're going to yell at us on the internet. You know what I mean? Like you can just feel that this. And you know, you fucking listen to interviews with, you know, Sehalski and. Keanu himself and the stunt team and they don't make these movies. They don't make the movie. They really want to do it. They can take the time to do it right. And I'm sorry, it just fucking pays off. It makes a huge difference. Yeah. It's just a better made movie than probably all of those Marvel movies. Well, you never have to rush a sequel. Like, people are going to remember what John Wick was. People are going to remember. Maybe not Shazam, but, you know. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, people are, will remember, right? You know, you know, right? You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, and, you know, maybe it's not the best idea of the world to have a huge PowerPoint presentation that's like, hey, this one person's going to be in all of our movies in the next 10 years. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Like, so let's just make one at a time. And like, even with this, you know, that of course they get bombarded with it. Is he going to be a chapter five? And a It's like, there's a continental TV show that I learned is a prequel set in New York in the one thing. Can I say one thing about the John Wick stuff? I like John Wick one. I like four. I wasn't as crazy as two and three. I think we're we lean. I feel like some of those lean too hard in on the world. And I think if you lean too hard in on the world, you are just making Kingsman now.

Yeah. I, you know, I can totally see that. I think what's interesting. is like two and three, there's a lot of energy spent on explaining that stuff. like, like, Eric, I would guess, that's why four works for you better because they're not explaining anything. You've seen those other movies and you know how all that shit works more or less.

So, you know, when he gets into the whole, you know, the thing with the marquee de Gramal, you know, and that's like all of that stuff with these marquees, that's like the new sort of info that you get about this world. but the other stuff, but the other stuff. It's present, but we're not explaining it. Four almost feels like a there's a flamboyant villain. I don't need to know how he does his laundry. I enjoy the villain for being the villain. Yeah, totally. So, you know, I feel like we could be on John Wick all fucking day here.

But we do have some other stuff to get here. So I do want to blow through some other stuff really quickly. just some other things that we were quickly checking in on this week and over the weekend. is something that I just, I really want to get on everybody's radar. I decided to dip back into the Vimmerverse on Friday. I checked out his children of the corn, man, that was made in 2020 and just finally put out. And I got to tell you, it's a seeing as believing. It is worth your time so hard. It's like 93 minutes of the most unhinged shit.

I just add it to the January schedule right now. I think we would have a ball chatting about this movie. It would be a recommend for me. Wow. Don't get it twisted, folks. We're only in March. Don't get it twisted. It's not a good movie.

But it is worth your time. You are talking just the most precocious, shit-hitting kids, killing adults, there's a fucking, like, like that, terrible, it's, it's, yeah, we're we're we're doing, you know what I mean? Like, uh, we are doing, uh, we're doing, uh, we're doing, uh, we're doing, uh, we're doing, uh, we're doing, uh, you see a child rip the eyeballs out of a man's skull while he's still alive. So there's that. That's that. That's great. Yeah, a lot of good stuff here. Yeah, it's a recommend. I'm in. I think folks I think folks should check it out.

And another thing really quickly, I only watched the first episode of it, but I was hooked. New Netflix show The Night Agent. This is the dude who's in that fucking horrible Ron Howard Hillbilly movie. Okay. But this movie is he, or this show rather, is he plays a dude.

he's like a sort of disgraced FBI agent agent agent agent, uh, uh, he's like, he's like, uh, uh, he's like, like, night agent desk in the basement of the White House. And it's like, I sit here and do nothing and the phone never rings. And it's like, uh-oh, episode one, the phone rings. And you, it sets off this whole fucking world. And I have to say, he's got to go fill a coffee order. Yes.

Um, uh, I have to say, uh, Netflix, you have a really interesting thriller here. man, man. They just fucking dumped it all. They just fucking dumped it all. That's why. That's why I wanted to talk about it. Get people talking about it. Because like with fucking Netflix, people just miss this shit. And like, it's a good ass show. Hong Chow is on it. Um, you know, it's a deep cast. You got, uh, what's his face? Of course. Robert Patrick is like a shitty fucking. He's like the head of the FBI or whatever. He's crooked. I don't need to watch it. He's crooked. He's not on the right side of this one. He's not on the right side. So just wanted to give that Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, you you saw the new jangy mu. That's right. I saw, full red river. Yes, full river red. Oh, river red. Excuse me. It's, it's a, it's a, it's a sprawling kind of epic. It's about palace intrigue. It's got a very, very fun sense of humor. Kind of reminded me of

death of Stalin in some ways. Oh, okay. And very, it's long, but, but, but, but, It's another one you did. I didn't really really good time. I know. I know. Some people say yes. And this poem is apparently a big thing that is in Chinese culture. I don't know enough about it to comment on it. But of course it's propaganda. So is fucking top guns. So is quantum mania. So is everything. So is Captain America might have some, uh, uh, jingoistic thieves slightly. We get so much shit for making fun of stuff like, America, or Marvel in general. When we praise top gun, it's like, oh, my God, what are you doing?

Yeah. Like, I don't know. Put down the fucking soda and take a look around, man. But it's a good movie. It's fun. Yeah. Packed screening, by the way. Oh, wow.

And my assigned seat, as I mentioned earlier, was taken. And I wasn't a baby about it. I just moved to another seat. Yeah. there you go dude so glowing review in the art market right now I just love the jangy moos

fucking making movies man the dude's a legend now Steve you were fucking taking a one way ticket to stupid city this weekend you found what's this little guy called it's called repo Jake also packed theater on my couch with my two cats

and my wife we went to the bar we came back this had come across me Instagram, somebody was like, look at this cool VHS tape. I was like, it's on Amazon. with commercials, it's like 86 minutes. It is the dumbest movie.

The movie just devolved. It's like kind of an okay idea where it's just big fat Dan Haggerty coming into LA trying to be a repo agent and stock car racing gets involved and then so does pornography. I like trying to be a repo agent. This is his great goal. Well, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, uh, you, uh, he, uh, he meets his lady friend and someone steals her purse because now he's in Hollywood. Sure. People get thrown through windows three to four. Like, it's like in the window, out the window in the window. It's, he, he repos a helicopter at one point, which is pretty great. Shit. Someone wasn't making payments on their helicopter. I think so. It was one of those succession boys.

I just want to be clear. It's not a good movie. It's something to be watched at one a. But you'll have fun with repo Jake. It's just a tremendous title. There should have been four repo jakes. Yeah, it kind of sucks like Grizzly Adams didn't get another franchise here. Now, Steve, you also, this is kind of cool. I'm very jealous of this. You saw Todd Browning's Dracula for the first time last night at Lincoln Center. I did. And there was some story here that we had to talk about. They saw at the Walter Reed Theater at the Walter Reed Theater. It's like, it's like 35 millimeter. It's like a little bit. It's like, it's like a little bit. Because it's close. Because it's on the Upper West side. At least. Yeah. The downtown grampies have to be tempered a little bit. And you really get capital M, capital M movie maniacs that go to this theater. You know what I mean? Like really, really specific type of folks. Yeah. We're sitting in the back as we always are. It's a pretty crowded thing. you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, and, uh, sitting next to us is this couple. And young, old, what are we talking? They're young. They're, they're like probably 20, 21. And I, at some point, the woman just turns around like, could, and this is like 40 minutes into this 86 minute movie. So halfway through. Sure. She said, could you not kick my seat? And he's like, could you stay off your damn phone? And it's like, so now this is happening.

And he's like, hey, he's like, you can't do that to me. He's like, he's like, it's like, it's a public movie. This is a public movie. He's this public movie. I'm kind of on his side. I get what he's saying here, man. You're not on your fucking, fucking living room couch, grandma. So here's the thing. So that's 40 minutes in, about 15 minutes later. So 60-ish minutes into the movie, this guy gets up. I think he's just going to the bathroom, the guy of the couple. The girl was the one doing most of the yelling. The guy was just sort of sitting there. So I think, he got in a little bit of trouble. And 10 minutes after that, ushers come in, excuse me excuse me, you're kicking seats. And the man said, and I swear to God, it's my favorite quote that I've ever heard. It's like, yes, I did.

And I was right to. She was on her phone doing online shopping. And like they're going, yes, they're going back and forth. We're at the height of the height of the movie is the guy. The guy, the guy, listen, um, uh, uh, there's only four minutes left in the movie. And I'm like, yeah, dude, what are you even here for? So here's what? They leave, uh, the woman gets up and leaves in a huff because they, I think they wanted those two people to get kicked out. End of the story, twist ending. I was positive. This guy who kicked the seat was in his 60s. I turn around. This

dude is like, wow, dude. That's my, here's my three- here's my three-tiered question. Okay. I don't believe the seat is ever warranted. I think you just got to do, if someone's on their phone, you've got to do the loud, get off your phone, please. And that's going to embarrass everybody. And then it's going to, you know, King's true. By the way, the woman did yell out when the usher came in. That's assault to which everyone was like, no, no, no, no, it's gone. Yeah, please don't fucking, like, like,

Yeah, like, uh, uh, uh, can't, uh, can't, you can't, you kick the seat. And this goes to Andrew specifically. Okay. Is there a time when in the film, when you're looking at the runtime that it's just not even worth to be the usher that comes in? Do you know what I mean? Like, let's just, we'll catch them on the way out kind of a scenario. Because like, now you're ruining like the literal climax of the film.

That's the thing, right? Is you as the usher. or the manager who is controlling or, you know, you know, you know, uh, uh, uh, you got to be like, you got to be like, oh, there's fucking four minutes left. Like, we will have this discussion on the way out because what they did right there was just make the experience worse for everyone around them, including you and Jen, whoever else was around there.

Like, they fucked that up. You know what I mean? So like, that's kind of on them. But they did, they picked their seats, though, and you have to just, whatever. whatever you're dealt you're dealt with someone's on the phone dude, you pick that seat.

Objection, your honor Lincoln Center, no assigned seats. Oh, nice. Wait, so we could have just fucking moved. They could have just fucking moved. It was a packed? You're saying it's a packed screening. How could you move?

But not super packed. You could have moved around. You could always move. No, no, no. Here's, okay, here's the thing, though. This is, we are missing the bigger picture here, folks, is that this fucking battle axe was on her fucking phone.

shopping during during during during during during during during during during during during during during during during during during that's terrible you know because like you're late to the movie you shouldn't be fucking let in 20 minutes even full river red 20 minutes in it's still fucking happened you just but the thing is you just got to do the quick like put it down please You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. It's kicking. It's not aggressive. It's not assault. It's a little too aggressive. And also like this guy might turn around, punch you right in the face. And he'd be kind of sort of right to. You know what I mean? You just don't want to let it escalate to that scenario. Everyone was wrong except for me in this situation. If you can believe. Right. Right. So I don't know. I feel like we could spend the rest of the afternoon really, you know, breaking this out, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, you've, uh, uh, around here. For whatever reason, for whatever reason, my fucking record is not charging the laptop while I run a thousand fucking things on this computer. I just got the little red light that I have no battery left. And I don't want the fucking stream to get cut off because boy, would that be terrible. So I will just unfortunately have to cut it here.
