Starting point is 00:00:00 Thank you. I'm Good evening. Good evening. Good afternoon. Depending on the us live. My name is Andrew Juppen. We are here to talk about box office numbers, react to some trailers, react to some real, real nerdy shit. By the way, happy Monday. Happy, this is the longest I can go without having to hear about Easter until next year. I hope you all had a good weekend. I'm going to bring in some dudes who I hope. had some great weekends of their own. You know them. You love them. You know him. Oh, you know, you're good. I'm eggs all weekend. Were you wearing the t-shirt, dude.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Beaver Patrol. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, no, Easter's a family affair. That's true. Speaking of family affairs, one of the family-friendly as dudes around. You know him. You love him. Chris Cabin. The end of the film was released in the end of the end of the end of the end of the end up in the end up in the end up in the end up dude. Put down the Ulmer biography. Sorry. Stupid.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Sorry. Smoothie grin was stupid. Yeah. Well, John Carradine, he had a stupid toothy grin. He had a stupid toothy grin. Good actor, very good actor, but yeah, he did have a stupid toothy grin and Olmer agreed with me. Bit long in the tooth. A little bit. So what do you read there? An autobiography from Edward G.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Oh, I was making fun of it. It's a book about Edgar G. Omer. And I was just making a joke. Oh, man. I thought it was his autobiography. He was like talking shit about the Carradine dynasty. No, that's just me making fun in his voice. Doing, of course, a great disservice to a director I like quite a bit. All the rules, dude. He's fantastic. We should say, of course, Steve Sadek, not here. because he is still trying to find them eggs, he is a 40-year-year-old man trying to win an Easter egg hunt against a bunch of kids right now. And he's not a glove trotting for eggs. He will go to Morocco to find them eggs.
Starting point is 00:02:43 He will go to the farthest ends of the universe to find eggs. I'm more of a local egg guy. I know. Oh, you like to get your farm fresh eggs. Yes. They're needed. I prefer that as well, Eric. well hey gang
Starting point is 00:02:58 to get to get to as always you got to run them this is highest gross oh yeah that's funky music man gets me ready to talk about box office numbers like you would not believe
Starting point is 00:03:21 so let's get into it top five we're still kicking it at this point. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. There it is. That's right. It's right. It's it is. That's right. It's going to scream six at the box office. The new trailers. The new trailers, of course, are highlighting our posters. Oh, yeah. I've seen them. They're quite nice. You know, they're little 30 second spots. They're nothing crazy. But they just show the posters and still images and that's it. And I really appreciate that. The posters from a show you may or may not heard of.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Yeah, week 5, hey, hey, than fucking Shazam too. Yes, even on VOD, oh, oh, oh, you can rent it, right? Or is, like, buy digitally? I was making a reference to the fact that Shazam just went on VOD and didn't even, didn't even debut at one, debut at three. Nice. Yeah, Shazam.
Starting point is 00:04:25 She's great, Zach. And then so number four, man, man, we were going to be having some stuff about dudes rising. Here in at number four on the weekend, air. There it is. Now, I know Chris and I both saw air. We'll talk about it a little later in the program, but yeah. Enjoyable movie. We'll talk about it later in the program.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Hey, calm down. But what we can say here is not too shabby Amazon Studios, who, seems to vacillate between about theatrical engagement they stumble into shit like this. kind of bigger Hollywood director Chris, Chris, what was that Clooney movie?
Starting point is 00:05:11 Tender Bar? The tender bar. Which I'm sure is a very nice motion picture, but like they could not have hidden that movie from audiences harder if they tried. So here, it's cool to see air. 14.4 million. The bummer, though, man, man, like these wagling, man, they love waggle in the fucking checkbook out.
Starting point is 00:05:30 They paid $125 million to get the movie. Yeah. Of course, we are going to talk about the movie later. But, like, if you see the movie, like, it definitely did not cost, like, keeping close to that much to make. Oh, no. Just bidding war, you know, bidding war shit and whatever. At least they put it out in theaters. I'll say that about it.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Absolutely. Absolutely. Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, you know, it's a little bit of a little bit of a surprise here, because it's kind of like, you know, a lot of these things you see sort of go down a step at a time unless it's a massive shazam two-esque failure. But skipping two and flopping down to three, Dungeons and Dragons this week, folks, uh, down to three at week two, only 14 and a half million dollars. Um, so, you know, I know there were other
Starting point is 00:06:23 things distracting at the box office this weekend, but doesn't bode well for word of honor among thieves here. I'm not, uh, I'm not going to, uh, blay this at the, the shortcomings of Dungeons and Dragons, of which there is, there are many. Uh, but I, I more lend this to like the almost radioactive awesomeness of John Wick for. Yeah. Yeah. Like the fact that this fucker is still striding in there like this. I, I, I don't think it's Dungeons's faultness. necessarily, like I said, like I said, then it, then it, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, and, uh, and then, then it, uh, uh, and, and therefore, I can't really give it too much shit. But John Wick for has just been blowing things out of the water. Yeah, I mean, that,
Starting point is 00:07:04 that and then obviously the debut of Super Mario Brothers that every family went to. It's, yes. Yes. Yes. You're going to be third. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah. Um, yeah, John Wick, though, though, the fourth of something, it's so much better than it's, I think, I think it's my favorite. It might be. It's good. It's good. It's up there for me as well. I think. I think what I like about is there is, even though I know there's already talk about a fifth one, it does feel like the ending. Like it does. There feels like this is finality. Although I, who knows, of course, there's going to be a fucking like zombie John Wic. Wick. It's going to be a prequel series. I don't mind that. If that's what happens, if this is if this really does end up being the end of John Wick the character, I would be so happy and I actually would probably bump this up a bit. It would be great if that was the case, but they're probably going to do like the Fast and the Furious type of stuff where it's like
Starting point is 00:08:05 all this movie takes place between three and four. Yeah. And then oh, Han was alive the I know they have the Anna DeArmus thing which they tease in for you see her in the but which was a cool tease I was like neat she's in this movie I'm sure you're gonna like figure it out once that movie comes out but like I don't know some like some things happening
Starting point is 00:08:32 concurrently maybe that's what I get the feeling and I don't but I don't think Staheltsky is directing that I don't think so either No, I think it's what? I think it's what? I think it's what I think it's what I think it's what's like? first of all him and then just like these spinoffs where you know Keanu brings so much to those movies. Yes. And so chats to Halski. Yes, exactly. Just imagine someone else trying to do it. I don't know. We're talking a lot about coins and stuff. Hey. Hey. Hey, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like John Wick for being awesome. Um, so this movie in its four, what are we? A third week here. Whereas D&D is in its second week. So, John Wick for been out longer. Also, John Wick on just about 250 fewer screens than D&B. Wow. So it's, it's doing that thing where, like, it's, theaters are coming off because new stuff is. coming in, but, it's still holding in, man, and then, yes, yes, of course, the unstoppable,
Starting point is 00:09:45 big bad Super Mario Brothers movie from Universal, $146.3 million on the weekend, which turned out to be $204,628,865 for the five-day weekend. They started having shows on Wednesday, on Wednesday. of last week. It's crazy. It's crazy. I think part of the reason why is also because you can have like multiple showtimes in a day. John Wick only planned at the local cinema, two showings a day because it's so fucking long. Yep. Absolutely. That's also it's a finally, finally, finally a kid's movie to take down fucking the Puss and Boots 3 or whatever the fuck it was. Oh, yeah. Oh, right. The last wish. That's the big thing. That's the big thing. That's the big thing. That was my last wish to get out of the top 10. I don't know if it did. It might still be hanging in at the very bottom. I don't know. I'll check because I've been kind of laughing about this for a while because it is still somewhere on the charts. It's not in it's not in the top 10 though. It's kind of let's see. It's 14th. It's worshiping. It should be way lower than that,
Starting point is 00:11:08 This constitutes it's 16th week in release. And actually something interesting, Oh, oh, oh, here it is it gone now? Oh, here it is. Like, so this shit, box office numbers are fascinating to me. Obviously, I fucking foisted this segment into the show. But week 19, okay, we're in April. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:28 The film Violent Night is still on 25 screens somewhere in this country. What the fuck? This must be like the, second run movie. Yeah, yeah. It's got three thousand dollars. What business does that? What? More than, more than I made this weekend. Only made three eggs. Eric, that's because you weren't down at the bus station with us collecting quarters. Right. I see. You were poo-pooing that off the air, dude. Yes, the good folks don't, are not privy to our bus station conversation. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:12:03 is some stuff is just for us, yeah, yeah, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, and it's true. Uh, uh, let's take a look around the art market really quickly, uh, here's some stuff that we actually, uh, have either seen or chatted about, uh, here or there previously. So paint, uh, from IFC was released, uh, this weekend, uh, 750K. Not bad. Um, um, but, you know, it was on, it was on 819 screen. So, so, yeah, not great. Uh, yeah, it came out. certainly came out. I haven't seen it. I have not, I have not seen a lot of good buzz about it. I still think the trailer looks kind of funny, but I will catch it. Didn't see if that was day and date actually with streaming. I don't think. I mean, like the VO, like the thing with that is like I'm all for the project to finally get Owen Wilson another starring vehicle that doesn't suck. Although I'm not sure if he ever has like a starring starring vehicle. I'm not sure behind enemy lines isn't that. good. It's a terrible I can't. A good take
Starting point is 00:13:06 a good job. I can't think of a good like a movie. Like a he's led that's good. But he's always been a good character guy. Is there anyone else starring alongside him in comedy classic Hall Pass? Hall Pass. It's him and Sudecas. Oh.
Starting point is 00:13:24 And that's like a 50-50 bill there you think? Yeah. Just about. I mean, I think Owen Wilson is the more prominent of the two like sedate is a little bit more skevier than he is uh-huh uh but uh they're they about have time in that movie got it um he hasn't even led he hasn't led a ton of movies at all right like um drill bit taylor is the only one that comes to mind oh i think that's what i was thinking when i asked him at hall pass actually because i'm trying to remember like posters where he's the only person on it and i think drill bit taylor was one of those some of the chat says you me and
Starting point is 00:13:57 depre, but remember, me and depre. That was Kevin Deppre. Yeah, that was Kevin Dillon and some lady. Oh, Matt Dillon. Wow, you got Matt Dillon. I think it's Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson. That sounds about right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, so that's, that's out in release. We didn't get a chance to see yet. Good call, Dr. Jammer, Midnight in Paris. That was a, he was definitely the lead of that film. Oh, he was. That's true. That's true. By the way, got to call it, got to call it I did talk about it, but Dr. Jammar, you know, well
Starting point is 00:14:38 Dr. Good job on your doctorate as well, sir. Oh, yes, yes, your hammer doctorate. Anyway, so moving on here, just more artwork and stuff. Cabin, you saw how to blow the pipeline. This came out. This is getting a lot of nice words here. This is from neon 120K. Now, you like this, Oh, you should go, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I'm gonna say this I think is the director's name. Uh, he's the guy who did cam for, uh, Netflix a couple
Starting point is 00:15:12 years ago. Very good, uh, it's about a cam girl and she starts having like a split personality thing going on. Yes, yes, yes. I remember that coming. Very, yeah, quite good movie. And this is, uh, a huge growth, uh, a step one movie removed it's quite a big growth, go see it. The title actually, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, they're eco terrorists. It's, um, it's, it's not night moves. They're not being shady about it. This is, you know, it's pretty obvious. Night moves, uh, supremely, uh, underseen Kelly Reichart film.

Starting point is 00:26:36 I don't know about these titles yeah no I mean I don't know about these movie titles it sounds like Steve dude well I mean that's the problem is you cannot you can't give a number system to this unless you just called them spiderverse spider verse one spider verse two right it's like it's a spider man then it's already been done a hundred times yeah oh yeah it's true it'll be done a hundred more yeah long after you're in the grave folks listening once your cask gets gone dusty and no one tends to that grave anymore

When it turns into planet of the apes, they're going to need movies. So you want to make sure you're making the Spider-Man movies. Absolutely. That's all. So this one across the Spider-Verse comes out from Sony on 6-2. You guys ready to watch this trailer here?

So folks at home, get ready to watch along, too. in three, two, two, all right. all right, no, I hate that. just let me watch it.
Starting point is 00:27:52 I'm here for a reason. I love this animation, man. I feel like with this kind of animation out now in, you know, feature theatrically released shit, like there's no excuse to have a bad looking animated movie, you know what I mean? Like, budgetary
Starting point is 00:28:11 restraints aside, like everybody should be chasing this shit. Not mimicking it, but but chasing new ideas. I mean, it definitely looks better than that usual Pixar and Pixar of CGIQ people. Yeah, Pixar hasn't
Starting point is 00:28:26 really grown past a certain point. Like, it's looked the same pretty much always going to be there. Right. I love the gag in this trailer that he's getting a Miles Morales is getting a B in Spanish. That's kind of funny. His parents are disgusted.
Starting point is 00:28:42 I mean, look at it. I am going to be so fucking stoned in the theater, man. I'd be like, I'd be a little bit more. Yeah, there's too many Spider-Man. Look at all this scary stuff. Lots of portals. Yeah, a lot of Spider-Man here. Although, I mean, I was so stone for the first one that I thought it was in 3D when
Starting point is 00:29:03 it wasn't. So that was embarrassing at the theater. So yeah, we're getting some of these Spider-Mans from the last movie. back, but there's this guy who looks like a like a baby. Okay. And there's I think that's from the train spotting Yeah, yeah, the train spotting Spider-Man, yep. Are we not getting the ham?
Starting point is 00:29:26 Is Spider-Pig not back? Oh, man, if we could If we could just not do that joke again. Although, I don't know, he was all right. It was fine, it was fine. I was thinking how much I despised Spider-Pig in the Simpsons movie. That's what I was thinking of. But it's just like, don't do the same joke over and over again.
Starting point is 00:29:43 unless you're a podcast. that's the exception there. this looks so fucking cool. like this is I feel like instantly for like best animated feature yeah the animation looks cool. I mean I'm usually not the biggest animation person but it actually does look good.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Did the first one win animated feature at the Academy Awards? I don't know, maybe Shrek one instead. Oh, there was a Shrek that year. Yeah. It was whatever the movie was that year. I'm making fun Making fun of I mean, I mean, like, I don't get
Starting point is 00:30:29 about superhero movies anymore, so this is, it's nice to somewhat look forward to one. Well, it's kind of weird, right? Because I mean, I agree with you guys. I'm totally in that camp, but I feel like I don't consider this a superhero. movie. Obviously, but it's like, it's trying to be different. It's more of like it did win. By the the first one did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was up against Isle of Dogs. Ralph breaks the internet. Incredibles 2 and Mirai. Pretty stiff competition actually. Yeah, it is a little stiff one, Chris. Oh,
Starting point is 00:31:09 come on. Oh. The competition. Oh, the competition. Oh, the competition. Oh, the competition. Come on the competition. You guys are so dirty, in one way or another. June 2nd, and then the other thing, the other thing, which will sort of lead into our larger discuss for the episode here, but part of the Star Wars celebration was they released a teaser trailer,
Starting point is 00:31:40 teaser trailer, there we go, for Asoka, which of course, which of course, sometime in August. yet yet, all right, you got this one teed up. All right. Let's do a three, two, one. Go. Right into the trailer. I appreciate that, Disney. Thank you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Some pillars that establishes historical revelins. I don't know. I love her cutting the hole in. that's pretty badass. like that's a temple like that. Oh, yeah, yeah, property damage. Property damage. Now, Eric, the whole notion of there's something coming,
Starting point is 00:32:31 that's like Thron and... It must be, maybe, or something. This seems to be setting up a lot. I mean, a lot of this is Dave Faloni characters walking around again, which is fine. Sabine Ren was shown here. She was a Mandalorian from the right there. Um, um, uh, uh, uh, yes. We do get throng. Offma. Oh, yes. There's thrones behind. Or he's shot from behind, I guess. I wish his juicy ass was on screen, but not, not, not, not any luck today, folks. It's a Mickelson, right? It is. Which he denied that he got cast as until this
Starting point is 00:33:07 trailer came out, which I kind of respect. Yeah. Oh, and that's Ray Stevenson, man, the fucking lightsaber, that's kind of yes, and I'm curious to see what Ray Stevenson's in this. It seems like he might be sort of the Joris Saboose type of character that Thron had in the heir to the empire books and all that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Which would be like a dark, basically a dark Jedi. In the books, it was a clone, but I don't know if this guy's a clone or not, but... Oh, okay. It's interesting. I mean, it seems to be sort of riding on that line of of like, I mean, I mean, I mean, of the Mandoverse, but there's something like,
Starting point is 00:33:49 don't know, I don't know, hopefully, hopefully, hopefully they stick the landing, especially since they're including Thron. I thought Throne was handled okay, pretty well on rebels. So hopefully it's fine. I get a little worried about Faloni sometimes, but hopefully it's fine. I mean, that's, I mean, what I think Thron adds that element of dark, like, he's supposed to the next great villain, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,
Starting point is 00:34:20 it has to be ruled over by this huge dark force that theoretically is what, uh, the big mandoverse movie that we're going to get in six years is going to be centered around, you think. Ah, man. Who the hell knows what that's going to be? Because we have some, well, we got, we'll, yeah, well, we'll, we'll talk about that. A little down the line. I got to save it, dude. Yeah, that's, gang gang. Let's get into it. We've seen the weekend. We want to talk to you all about it.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Get into it. The Super Mario Brothers movie. I was there at the theater yesterday morning. It was me and all scores of families. Wait, wait, wait, scores of families. The night, the day, the morning, Jesus Christ, risen.
Starting point is 00:35:09 That's right. everyone's going to see super Mario brothers instead of perhaps dude dude. Dude, you know, you know, from the dead. I'm kidding. It's the same story. It's the same story. Oh yeah, dude. Mario, Mario is like Jesus age Christ. And they can't like really, they can't look at, they can't worship Christopher Columbus anymore. So it's good to have a new religious Italian man who can rise up and be an icon for them.
Starting point is 00:35:38 And there's Mario. And Luigi too. I don't want to leave Luigi out of this. He is also clearly a hero can be taken up for the cause. I'll just say this, though. We should replace the Christopher Columbus statue at Columbus Circle with Mario Mario.
Starting point is 00:35:54 I'm telling you right, you guys are opening up a fucking cana marinera that you don't want to do. Do not start telling certain fucking Italians about Christopher Columbus, man. They don't want to hear it. Don't want to hear it. It's not always the soprano scene.
Starting point is 00:36:08 It's not always just that thing is No, some of them are just pissed off online. Is there any other Italian names that end with bus? The hell is that? I don't know. I guess I have to ask my wife, she's Italian. So I'm allowed to make fun of them, by the way. Excellent, excellent free pass.
Starting point is 00:36:29 So wait a second. Chris, I saw your hilarious letterbox review. So you saw this. Eric, you tapped out, which was fine. Yes, I, well, I just, I actually had family commitments. It's insane to say, he is, dude, he is, dude, him for me, but yeah, fuck,
Starting point is 00:36:50 yeah, it is fancy, Chris. It's the first time I've ever been jealous of an Easter dinner. Anyway, uh, so this movie, so Chris, I think, huh, I think I liked it a little bit more than you, but not a ton. And I'll say that for me, It's just a movie. a bunch of levels, a bunch of levels, I thought the animation
Starting point is 00:37:16 stupendous. I really think did a good job. So that, you know, as far as, like, a thing to look at, and I understand that doesn't, like, make a good movie great or a bad movie good. And I don't think it's a good movie. My other sort of initial thing was, I think,
Starting point is 00:37:34 I'm stunned, I'm saying this. I don't think Chris Pratt and Charlie Day were like as bad as I thought they were going to be because I thought it was going to be like it's not they are doing regional voices what's regional mean something they're kind they're kind of just trying to sound like there's the slightest bit of a new york something like every once in a while like it's not pronounced and it's not cartoonish um they're just doing something that's not line reading unlike forget about it over here Not even that far. Not even that far. They sound like a guy they sound like
Starting point is 00:38:11 went somewhere else and grad school. came back to Brooklyn to be plumbers instead and they still got a little bit of the accent. All this to say though, as far as someone who was just reading a bunch of big bold lines
Starting point is 00:38:27 out of a book, Anya Taylor Joy, I think she's a good actor like in live action shit. she's not a vocal actor. I thought the peach performance. I didn't see. We're putting her in too much stuff. Well, I mean, she's a little bit of over exposure. Yeah. I mean, that's popular. Stuff like this. But like, I mean, that was my main issue with this is like all the. I don't. I thought I had gotten over the celebrities voicing characters thing. Like I thought I had kind of like whatever. It is what it is. It's not really a thing I pay attention to that often. But this movie, I really. felt like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, yeah, he's like, yeah, he's, D thing. He's just doing that again. And, like, it's like you just gave up completely on making Bowser a character. Like, I'm not even
Starting point is 00:39:20 slightly interested in doing that. And, like, what, what you said is 100% true. Like, it feels like, a, uh, a play through, uh, that you watch on YouTube, a really epic playthrough with a bunch of Twitter jokes thrown in here and there to kind of make a, uh, uh, uh, uh, like, like, like, a, uh, like, like, like, like, like, like, a, like, the way, uh, the, like, the, the only thing, bad thing I will say about, uh, across the spiderverse is the, the fucking, all the spider men pointing at each other thing, like, a meme. I'm like, give it up. Like, like, like you get some of that in there. Like you said, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the animation is good and I will give a credit for the animation being good. But that is literally the baseline thing I ask of you is that. That's like literally the bare minimum is if you can make the thing look good. Yeah. And I mean, well, I mean, so much of these animated movies don't look good, though, in one way or another. So, you know, low bar, I get it. But it was something. I'd say another thing to.
Starting point is 00:40:32 toss out positively. I thought Seth Rogen was fucking perfect. He's good. I mean, speaking of like, like, like, like, like, the movie leans into like, you know, Donkey Kong's laugh makes total sense also being Seth Rogen's famous goofy laugh. So like, there's moments in the movie where it's like, it's just a shot of Donkey Kong and he does the Seth Rogen laugh. And I'm like, yep, perfect one to one that makes complete sense to me. I thought the sequence, of course you have to get, because the game you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, like a game is like, you know, like, basically, Eric, there's like a Mario Kart sequence on Rainbow Road that's kind of like, honestly sort of plays like fucking Mad Max kind of racing shit.
Starting point is 00:41:20 I thought that sequence was really well done, not just animated, but the way it was cut together. The score to the movie is really nice, too. I liked all of the orchestration, very, you know, huge. and obviously like that. how many turtles die? a lot.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Oh, scores. scores are dead, scores. That's the thing that's actually interesting. Like, the animal holocaust, right? Oh, they're fucking killing a goat dude on screen. I forgot that does happen. They only do one in that movie, Eric, and it's not as
Starting point is 00:41:51 graphic in Mario Brothers, I will say. Not quite as graphic. But Chris, weren't you surprised and a little refreshed, dude, when Eric, get this, the whole movie, we're saying kill. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, yeah, dude, we are trying to fucking kill people in this movie. That's awesome. Yep. Oh, and speaking of death and destruction, Eric, I know you definitely wanted the first report about this. In this world, which does start with them, like, in Brooklyn, and there's a whole, like, extended Mario family of, like, Mama and Papa Mario. And then Chris, who were these people? There's, like, a sister and, like, a Scuzzy brother-in-law. I don't know I don't know if these are actual characters
Starting point is 00:42:33 I think they're just If they were like from the movie Or just like for the movie It's totally fine Because either way It's hilarious to me The notion of like Mario Maybe has a scuzzy brother-in-law
Starting point is 00:42:45 Well Italian from Brooklyn They're like yeah They got a bunch of scumbag relatives Well that's what I think we really should have gotten Is Mario comes in To Jake Lamata's A little you know Little apartment
Starting point is 00:42:59 And he's, he's like, do you fuck my wife? Yeah, did you fuck my wife? That's what I wanted from this broken segment. But yeah, you just kind of get like, they were bullied by this other Italian guy. Oh, yes. There isn't, yeah. Do do they used to work for that they quit to start their like Mario brothers.
Starting point is 00:43:18 They should make a Jake Lamata into the next Super Mario Brothers movie and make him an actual raging bull, you know, like a bull guy. Oh, or I was going to say if they redo punch out, dude, make Jake Lamata be a playable character. But Eric, they should actually Yeah, they should actually Yeah, there's a punchout In the movie. It might be
Starting point is 00:43:38 But Eric, the important thing about In Brooklyn, all this stuff, don't worry, dude Confirmation 9-11 was witnessed by the Mario Brothers. Oh, really? Is it a flashback Little tears? They're on the roof There's not, but here's the two things. Like, they film a like, like little commercial for the plumbing company. And in that, it's like
Starting point is 00:43:59 Brooklyn looking into Manhattan. Okay. Okay. Okay. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, has, um, um, um, um, and it's, it's maybe like an old sporting event or something like that. and it's like the New York skyline trade towers. So, so, yeah, day on 9-11 in the Super Mario brother's world, one of those giant, um, big blocks with the mean face came over it. And then it went over to the next one. And then we just, but, but, but, but, but then we just, but, but we just, blah, but but we just, but two large moving cactus. Uh, so I don't know, all this to say, I think it makes a totally fine streamable thing. But seeing it on the big screen with the animation, your kids will dig on it.
Starting point is 00:44:47 And if you're high like me, that was kind of nice to look at. Uh, so moving on to something I didn't see, but you two did. Ben Affleck's air. Yes. I thought it was, uh, Now, this is, this was funny about this movie. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it's like, I enjoyed it's like, like a guy going to an office, that's kind of. It's scratching. Really, really, really telling them where to go. Yeah. But, you know, it's a movie about a shoe. And it's about Nike. And it was so funny about this. It's like, I said I like this movie on Letterbox. I give it three and a half stars. I enjoyed it more or less. But you regret the three and a half. You. kind of what I should I should I'm trying to get at is. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you know, full, full, oh, oh, that's propaganda. Oh, top gun maverick. Oh, that's propaganda. Oh, the Nike shoe movie. Let's go to the theater. That's fine. Yeah. It's also propaganda. I'm sorry. No, it's, I mean, like, having seen, yeah, it's a big Nike commercial. And there are moments where, like, towards the end, there is one shot where it just like zooms in on a big Nike. Like, it's a neon sign that says Nike.
Starting point is 00:45:59 And like, I mean, I'm not the first one. This is, I'm not the guts of moneyball light. It has none of the like dramatic, uh, a rigor of money ball. But it has essentially what you liked in money ball. The talking in offices about an obscure, but now very popular, uh, obsession for people. People love shoes now, especially the Air Jordan original run. Uh, so I see. And I, I, I, I, Honestly, I have not liked Matt Damon I thought he was really, really good in it. Bateman and Affleck are good. I will say this. I don't think this is a spoiler. I really do think they should have had someone there. They should have given the Michael Jordan actor some lines. I don't even think you see his face. I'm fine with that personally. I kind of wanted, like, at the end of it,
Starting point is 00:46:52 because they're talking so much about like, the whole point of it is like at the end, like, you have to do something that's about you. you, that's the whole point. That's the, that's the, you. That's the whole point. It's like, it's very, it's tailored to him. To then not have him at least say something sounds, it's a little weird to me. And again, it's the, the talk, the dialogue is pretty good. The performances are pretty good. It's just something that I wasn't fully satisfied with. But I was just, they just have like a fella that like they shoot from behind or something. I think there is a moment where he said something on a phone or too, used very, used very, I thought that's very, I thought that was kind of, but, um, um, um, I mean, I mean, it's good that he's not like a full on supporting character in the movie. Right. Yeah. Or I mean, shit, we know he's such a great actor. What if they put him in the movie? And then, hey, Amazon, kicking a few more shekels to the special effects department. You de-age Michael Jordan. He plays himself in the movie in the era. This, this is giving me an idea.
Starting point is 00:47:59 air two, and it's all the executives, and office is trying to get space jam. just the deal to get it done. nothing about the making of the movie. It ends with like a, and we're making, you know, or it ends with like the green light turning on, right? Joe Pitca's got, you got to get Ben Affleck as Joe Pitca. That's clearly what you have to do. I'm sure it'll be streaming soon enough. By the way, I mean, it's just, it's very watchable and it's, it would be a great dad for news.
Starting point is 00:48:29 That's what it's what it's what it's true, right, right, right, right, right, so let's breeze through here as we're coming up on the hour. We just love to gab. We got the gift of gab. Of course, the Star Wars celebration is still going on, was at least over the weekend. I think it is still going on over in foggy old London town. So they made a bunch of announcements here. We're getting to some of them. And of course, our resident, Dr. Star Wars himself, Eric Siska, will be on hand to answer some of our. curiosities maybe. a show called a calliakalite. there acolyte. There we go. Sorry about and there. That's what I wanted to pull up. Jesus Christ. It's a series on Disney Plus the 2024
Starting point is 00:49:18 is the release date and this is a high republic set crime series which sounds fucking rad man. I'm excited for them to start exploring these other eras. I do not need I do not need to talk about the Skywalker family forever and ever and ever and ever. yeah. Some other like, of pluses for this. I'll just throw it out here. It's created by Leslie Headland. She did Russian doll.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Very exciting. At least the first season of that was great. I never watched part two. Don't even know if she was associated with it. Other things here mentioning Wuzha fighting style is going to be in the film. Yeah. That's awesome. That makes, that makes me happen. happy. I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, uh, uh, like, um, come drink with me. And touch of Zen. That's amazing. That's amazing. This is making me feel even better about the show. I hadn't heard this until you just said that. Yeah. Yeah, that's, that's great. I love the Shaw brothers. And those are two, uh, amazing movies also that are mentioned, uh, come drink with me and touch of Zen are fucking. And you know, here's the thing, right?
Starting point is 00:50:27 because it's like, you see, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you see, you know, you see, you know, I mean, it's really rad. Those are like some deeper cuts, which I like. Other details here, Eric, we're likely to see Kalnaka, the wookie Jedi. Wookie Jedi. Listeners, listeners, listeners, our Star Wars side show, well, well, there was Lo Baca in, I believe Lo Baca existed in the new Jedi Order series, which also interestingly got announced. So maybe if we're lucky, we get two Jedi wukies eventually. And maybe they fight each other, like one turns evil for some reason. Oh, High Republic said this one. Oh, wait, you know, they're old as fuck though. That's right. They age differently. now a mere man from high republic will probably be dead by the time you get to post, but a wookie. who knows forever, whatever, whewks are forever. This anniversary, keep in mind, wookies are forever. Get her wookies. So, I don't know, that sounds weird. So anyway, some people that are attached to the program here,
Starting point is 00:51:55 including Amanda Mandela Stenberg from bodies of bodies, Daphne Keene, who was the little and Logan, Lee Jong-Jai, the dude from a squid game. Oh, and Mani Jacinto from The Good Place, and also known for being cut out of Top Gun Maverick. Yeah, just in the background for some reason. Yeah, I guess it's, you don't fucking, you don't fuck with Tom Cruise, man. Oh, is that what happened? I think it was a thing where, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, I think it was a lot of like, it could be just like, like, you know, personality clashes.
Starting point is 00:52:34 Not even like this dude did anything. It's just like something about Tom Cruise's fucking Fetan readings that day, you know, maybe like what you're seeing. I can see the good place making some pretty brutal Scientology jokes. Oh, that's probably possible. That might have done it. Like Tom Cruise, like, watched an episode the night after their first rehearsal. was like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, he's like, oh, he's like that guy's like that guy's like, oh, oh, oh, and Jody Turner Smith is in it, and Carrie Ann Moss, speaking of the fucking Matrix.
Starting point is 00:53:09 So that's a stacked ass cast with a creator who's made stuff I like and is a fan of, and has seen things I also like. So that's, it's all very interesting, I have to say. So up next, something that maybe not as interesting. to us, but skeleton crew. the league of skeletons. Can you imagine? Can you imagine, Eric? That would be fantastic. We should do a Jason and the Argonauts type of thing
Starting point is 00:53:40 in Star Wars. Why not? I'm sure it was an influence at some level. Oh, we should do a thing where it's like a dude stop motion Star Wars stuff like Harryhausen type shit? That would be cool. Like a regular guy has to fight a Skellington. Now that is my favorite type of movie or TV show. uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, guny's in the goody's in a way. Uh, this is Jude law leading a bunch of little kids through the galaxy because they get lost something, something. Uh, you know, I like Jude
Starting point is 00:54:14 law and I'm kind, I'm curious about this. We'll see how it goes. I see on your show notes here, you say that at the time period is the same as Mando and Book of Bobafet, which surprises me. me because I thought this would be a post order 66 type of show. Oh, maybe, that's Mando's what are you talking about? Yeah, but I meant like, oh, like, closer to getting forced sensitive kids out of the, the fucking, uh, you know, the holocaust that was going on. Oh, I see. That was just me just like going, oh, I think it's going to be about that. I had no idea. Oh, I don't know. Look, I'm just very excited to see a Jedi a young Jedi master
Starting point is 00:54:55 I don't know that it's going to be a Twitter a Twitter discourse. another just a couple just a couple of it's about it I just double check yes it will take place in the New Republic era which is the same timeline as Mandalorian and Osoka so that's interesting
Starting point is 00:55:17 what do these kids need a guy helping them out of New Republic's here come on but some other pluses but some other pluses I have to say Carrie Condon that's encouraging on the show and some directors of note
Starting point is 00:55:32 for episodes include Daniels John Watts and Bryce Dallas Howard who you know does a good job directing Star Wars I also heard a rumor
Starting point is 00:55:42 that David Lowry is doing one which I would be very interested in a huge David Lowry fan dude David Lowry kind of like a perfect fit for Star Wars
Starting point is 00:55:52 like just the, he's at the, he's at the, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, uh, uh, he's, uh, he's, uh, he's, he's, uh, he's, he's, uh, he's, he's, he's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm so, more fucking Peter Pan shit. What, come on. They've always been trying to crack. It's the same thing with Pinocchio. They just keep going back to it because they want to, someone wants to crack it. And like, Garmo did as good as a version as you're going to see, I think. Oh, it's the best Pinocchio. That's the original Disney one. That's it. That and the original Disney one is like, tell that to Roberto Benini, dude. If he wants to come and get me. That dude loves Pinocchio, man. He is very into it. But the, with the fucking Peter Pan thing, like the original one is good. But yeah, the, the guy who did Beast of the Southern Wild, he completely flamed out trying to make one of these. Oh, that was a that was a dreadful. really boring movie. By the way, really boring movie. It looks like Jude Gaffigieg is Oh man. Jim Gaffigant is going to get humiliated on screen more. What's why? Jim. Yeah. Oh, dude, maybe he's going to get put in the boo box. Oh, no. Jim Gaffigant goes in the boo box, dude. Uh, yeah, I just, I don't know about that. I'm, um, whatever that one was with Hugh Jackman, that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Joe writes. I believe. That was like. That was like they're fucking Nerva and whatnot. They're like trying to predict the reviews with that title.
Starting point is 00:57:34 So anyway, I don't know. That's skeleton crew. I don't know. It's 23 sometime. I think it's all it's all wrapped up and no actual date yet. So okay, here's the next one. Nug number three. Ray's return. Raye by Daisy Ridley She's getting a new story. She's getting a new story.
Starting point is 00:58:01 I'm kind of into it because I didn't feel like I had a satisfying conclusion to that sequel trilogy. And I've been saying, let's do something else in the sequel era. I mean, I might even prefer a show that we can like sit and explore those nooks and crannies. we'll see what's going to happen with this.
Starting point is 00:58:21 I assume they're going to try to make her because the fans hated what happened to Luke Skywalker that he got disillusioned or whatever, which would happen by the way. Yes. It's the best part of the movie. That's a great character development. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:58:36 People don't, we're going to be kicked off YouTube if we say that is a good movie. Oh, shit your mouth. But continue, yeah. She's going to start. I'm assuming. she's going to start she's how
Starting point is 00:58:48 how Luke Skywalker did in the and we're going to really follow through which is fine but it has to be more to it than that and we will see I'm sure they have an idea if they're making a fucking movie out of it yeah
Starting point is 00:59:02 yeah I'm excited for it and it's yeah I should say it's a feature and it will be directed by Charmine obeyed Chenoy she did the Ms. Marvel show and I guess Daisy She riddley couldn't get anything else, like, where's her?
Starting point is 00:59:21 She did that really horrible Tom Holland movie. in with Doug Lyman. That was a pretty big disaster. And she's got, she just had a movie at Sundance. Oh, yes. Office something. Yeah, I don't, I don't remember that she's an office worker of some sort. Yeah, it's like a dark, dark, dark comedy.
Starting point is 00:59:43 The problem, my problem with the Ray movie. is the name you didn't say yet, Stephen Knight. is the, he's the, he's the, he's the pinkie blinders guy, which is a TV show, and he does good with TV, I think. But does everybody remember what his, what the more recent Stephen Knight on this program, he showed up? What? Serenity.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Oh, dude, that's what I was going to guess. Wow. Yeah, so have fun with that. That's a clencher. That's a clencher. Well, I guess it's got to be Star Wars. It's got to see. But we'll see.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Pull it out, buddy. He also wrote Spencer, which was decent. That was okay. Yeah, that was pretty good. Very good movie. Oh, so just to, I wanted to pull it up and give it a proper plug. The film I was talking about that Daisy Ridley was in at Sundance is called Sometimes I Think About Dying, directed by Rachel Lambert.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Same. I fucking knew that was cool, of course. It was still very funny though. I'm looking to see if there's a this sucker. Nope. Look for that. Whatever. So, all right. So yeah, I don't know. I'm curious about it because the biggest push for me is I agree with you, Eric. Like that character just did not have any kind of actual ending because that movie was written by Reddit and it's fucking garbage. Yeah, no one had a I would even like finn to come back. I would even like finn't that's going to happen. Oh no, I mean, you'd have to have
Starting point is 01:01:26 what's the Bruce Willis line in Diehard 3? 15 great big dump jokes going up the FDR and they all got to be filled with fucking money for John Boyega, dude. I think that they burned him, they burned him so hard on those movies. He ain't coming back. No.
Starting point is 01:01:42 And he shouldn't. Like go have a, you know, a much more. you know, you, you, you know, like, like, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you're, you know, we're going to learn about the first Jedi and recorded history and a new movie from James Mangold. Hmm. So that's a lot to unpack. Well, I'm excited for the director, I guess.
Starting point is 01:02:04 Uh, he was originally supposed to do a, uh, Boba Fett movie that got canceled because people didn't go see solo, so it became that terrible TV show eventually instead. I want to live in the I want to live in the alternate history I'm made and see what it's been like good with anti-hares the fucking Logan's really good still but a biblical epic type of thing
Starting point is 01:02:27 I'm curious to see what this would be because I would have no idea what this would be that's the thing right that's I think the mystery of what any of it could look like is pretty exciting it's based 25,000 years before the original trilogy so you know
Starting point is 01:02:44 We won't have to worry about the Skywalker family. Who knows? Maybe Palpatine existed at the start of the universe. In the beginning, there was me. And then space formed around me. And the planet started and I said, hey, let me run one. Then I made more of me. There was so many me's around.
Starting point is 01:03:06 It was just a bunch of Palpatine's throwing bones in the air and looking at a big black tower in front of them and screaming at it. There was a, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, up at the star war. With each, with each, star war celebration, man, you are saving more money on his emperor makeup. Like, keep, keep bringing him back. It's like, it's like, it's like a living coupon. Yeah. Uh, no, I'm just, I'm just joking. But it's funny because it's true. Well, I had it, I wanted to show it here. I thought it was a pretty sharp picture. It was James Mangold.
Starting point is 01:03:44 The film's logo, you know. I don't know. I'm really man. I'm really curious about this whole thing. We'll have to see. All right. Final Nug. You guys ready for the final Nug? Last precious Nug. Many nugs. The Mandoverse theatrical
Starting point is 01:04:01 event directed by Dave Filoni. Yeah. Yeah. What is this going to be the culmination of, I guess, the Mandalorian, which, who knows how many seasons we have yet to see. This is still years away. There's no way. Do we get, other than maybe? Do we get to kill Thron in this movie? Oh, that would be interesting. I mean,
Starting point is 01:04:26 I think he'll probably be a major figure in it. I can't speak to what, I mean, since everything seems to be heading towards his introduction, and then you will have time clearly in one season or another of whatever show to build him up to this point. I mean, I just, I, I don't, see where else you would go other than Thron centric. Well, uh, um, um, I'll, uh, I'll give you two guarantees. Dave Falone's gonna be wearing a cowboy hat through it all.
Starting point is 01:04:53 And two, it'll probably be written by John Fabros. Oh, okay. I just want to get that. I like this picture. Look at him. I mean, these dudes, whatever. They are fucking, they're getting the job done, man. They're working in Star Wars.
Starting point is 01:05:04 My rule. It stays. It's been since I was in high school. If you're going to wear a cowboy hat, you have to go everywhere by horse. I will not accept this an Italian an Italian and a cowboy hat. You better, buddy.
Starting point is 01:05:20 I don't think there's going to be anything funnier mentioned today so I think we should start wrapping up and plugging the week. Oh man, Eric, that was good. But we do have a lot of stuff coming out this week and actually the week because there's so much content here in the
Starting point is 01:05:38 WHMU, the week actually had to start yesterday. So when he was rising, we released, we released, we released, we love movies episode, of the apes, that's out now on Patreon, of course. It's a very fun episode on a great movie that is worth revisiting it or visiting for the first time if you have not. Totally good movie. Sadly, we tried to get, we were trying to do a big event for this. We were trying to get Charlton Heston to come back to life. It did not happen. We could not get him to come out of his little cave, sadly. But you know what? We tried. That's what's important. We tried to pick him up from his just a skeleton. He's just a skeleton league now. I'll tell you what, so I'm trying for, so I can make the deadline next month's Big Daddy Dispatch. I'm going to have watched all the apes movies, right? So over the weekend, I did the Tim Burton. Dude, that cameo with Heston as like the father, it's way worse than you remember. It's so bad. It's so bad. It's so fucking disgraceful. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's such a perfect guy.
Starting point is 01:06:51 You should mention previous episode as well. Yes. That's right. I've seen some people actually saying they're going back and re-listening since this is April. And speaking of April, folks, on We Hate Movies, for the first time covered on either feed. We're doing a George Romero movie. Hell yeah. Monkey shines, of course. We had some monkey shines in the room with myself and Chris. Eric, you had seen it before? No, no, no. This is my first time. And it is a very interesting movie. It is a light recommend for me. So check it out and then join us for the episode drop later tonight. Or maybe you're listening to this in the future and it's already out. maybe it's 6,000 years in the future. 8,000 years in the past. And also, Thursday will be the next drop of the mandolary and half hour. It will be the penultimate episode of that television series season.
Starting point is 01:07:54 So we'll see what's going up. I don't know. A lot of cowboy hats. And then Friday, just more fucking Star Wars, man. The Star Wars is open. We're going to talk on the Gleap Glickett. Eric, who we're talking about?
