Starting point is 00:00:00 This week on the program, I feel like this movie must have broken the bank with the hair die budget. It's the expendables three. I'm Andrew Jupin. I'm Stephen Sadek. Eric Stonebanks. Sandbank. Chris Cabin. And we hate movies.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Hello, a comedy show that takes a movie each week and makes fun of it just a little bit. Sometimes they're good. Sometimes they're bad. Sometimes they're the expenditures. Three, this is from 2014. No, but you said bad. You said the bad.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Speaking of bad, directed by Patrick Hughes, you know him from the director of Hitman's Bodyguard, which I turned off. Hitman's wife's bodyguard, which I never tried to see. And the man from Toronto, which Netflix is doing their damnedest not to tell you exist. What is that? It's
Starting point is 00:01:30 Woody Harrelson, and I believe Kevin Hart's like an NYC fuck up. And Woody Harrelson is like a super killer. He's the man from Toronto, like an assassin, kind of like his real life father. A super killer in Toronto. What does he kill? Tim Horton's coffee cups. He kills Tim Horton's breakfast combos. Yeah. Super killer. Casca se. Everyone, because Canada is very genteel, very, very like, ooh. No, but they got some killers out there. You think so? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Yeah, yeah. He's a psychopathic killer, but show what. Exactly. I think that's how they react to most of their psycho killers out there. I got to tell you, though, like this dude gets this directorial credit, but much like Simon West with the expendables too, man. I feel this is an in-name only. It's got to be Stallone direct in these movies, right? I don't even know if there's, I mean, I hope it's Patrick Hughes because Jesus Christ, this is actually like, I mean, at least I remember the first one having a little bit of fun with it. The action in this movie is so terrible. It is.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Even the second movie, the kills were out of control. There was like 30,000 people that died in. Really good opening to the second one. Simon West gets to have his fun right up top. But there's a big siege right at the open. And I think it's better than even the train. I like the train sequence fine. The train is fine.
Starting point is 00:02:46 But then eventually we get the train to killing the prison itself. And it's just you're watching like CGI bricks fall down. And that's, but the idea of it is still cool. Like there's, that's what. sucks about watching this, I think, is like, you see all the missed opportunities and you see the things that would have been better if it was actually a 1980s action movie made in the 1980s. Like, there's so many times, and you can't help it because you're looking at all these motherfuckers that are in this movie that were in those movies and you're like, well, in
Starting point is 00:03:18 1987, that would have been a real helicopter, you know, and shit like that. There's the part where Sly, it's like, oh, that opening part of the mission is over and he pushes a button and detonates the helicopter, and it's just a computer explosion. And it's like, that was where I had the first thought this time, where I was like, they would have just blown up a helicopter. Of course, blow up a fucking helicopter. What are we doing? They had the money. They had the guts. You could kill somebody on set back then and hide the body. Well, look at where you're filming these movies these days. Dude, you're going to tell me the Romanian government's going to have a problem with you blowing up a helicopter. I don't think you. You've got to pay a nice
Starting point is 00:03:52 price on that thing. Sure. They probably do it every week in Romania. You know, Like every week's the 4th of July, they blow up by helicopter. All you got to do is bring the equipment. But you get things from that. You get political power from that kind of stuff. What are you getting from this, Stallone, coming to your fucking one of your Bucharest and be like, inner!
Starting point is 00:04:12 Yeah, I insisted that we had the premiere in Bucharest, Romania, man. It was such a generous people. It was a great film. The tax credit, just unbelievable, man. I'm staying with Andrew Tate. He has given me the camera. Mansion Alpha, which is on the southern border of Bucco chest. Do you think, man, just?
Starting point is 00:04:35 Dude, you're getting all this money from Bucharest? You got to fucking put that on your taxes? That's going to be a fucking nightmare. Yep. Like, did you make any money outside of the United States this year? Oh, man. I'm getting fucked by these Bucharest books, man. I just like, oh, got all these Bukarest books.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Bucco box, yeah. Hello, Canary Island. Yeah, I got some Bucca bucks I got to send you. Don't worry. He's doing just fine. Do not worry about Sylvester Stallone. He bought, what, like a $90 million house in Florida? Good for him. $90 million dollars in Florida. $90 million to live in fucking Florida. What a fucking scam. I mean, it is going to be a breakaway republic soon. So I'm time to get it. Well, if you want to corner market a power there. I heard they're renaming it to Asmanistan.
Starting point is 00:05:21 The Romanian Lou currently is point two, 22 cents on an American. American dollars. All right. We can live like hell damn ass kings ago. You know what? You know, Steve and he might have had an idea. I got to find me a crooked leader. Give me, give me some names. Is Pinochet still alive?
Starting point is 00:05:40 Oh, is it? Damn, man. We should actually do that. We should move the podcast to Romania, become Romanian nationals. Record there. I'm sure it's, as, because you know, all these fucking scumbags move their shows to Texas. There's no income tax or whatever.
Starting point is 00:05:56 But we'll get the universal health care over there. You've got to watch out like nine out of, my understanding in Romania at least is nine out of ten pizza deliveries are actually stings. So you got to be. That's actually true. And there's the hostels that kill people in. But the good thing is we could moonlight there and work there.
Starting point is 00:06:13 We'd be in like Flint though, dude, because I got a couple of friends in Romania as folks I've worked with over the years, the really good people. Oh, shit. We'd get in with like the good ilk in Romania. I like that. So when we'd deal with the hostile managers,
Starting point is 00:06:25 hostile the horror movie. Getting very close with Nikki Chichisku and me and him we're gonna get we're gonna get this show oh wait he's dead too man
Starting point is 00:06:36 Chachescu God Pinochet go oh my friends today I'm sorry my brain just shut the fuck off in 93 after that it's there's nothing really there
Starting point is 00:06:46 uh well there's so much Botox man just like a brood playing on my brain like a banjo he is at least looking like a person like he's come down in this one finally.
Starting point is 00:06:57 And he's looking even better these days. I think Tulsa King, they were like, look, man. You can't be looking like fucking shit on Paramount Plus. Can't do nothing about the sound. The thing he's making with his mouth. That cannot be fixed. But perhaps the look. There's a good joke later on when like Statham is over the radio and like Ford can't
Starting point is 00:07:18 understand. It was like, what the hell is that guy saying? Like we're just kind of a fine joke. But can you imagine like being like, It would be, you got you, but yeah, but over. Like, I got nothing, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, pull up to the second window over. I mean, the joke is especially ironic because, like, yes,
Starting point is 00:07:35 Tatham's got that sick English, whatever the fuck. But, like, you're also comparing that to Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, who you were also talking to on this radio. But Jason Satham's name is Lloyd Christmas. I understand. He's from the dumb and dumber verse as well. Lee Christmas, isn't it? Oh, Lee Christmas, of course.
Starting point is 00:07:52 I kept saying Lloyd Christmas this whole time. I was watching it, dude. Well, now that's, I, we could say that for, the new one is a Lee Christmas move. Statham gets billing above Stallone. Whoa. Is that right? Yeah, if you watch the ads on IMDBs where I've seen.
Starting point is 00:08:10 I was actually kind of curious, like, why is he still doing these movies? Not that he's rolling in it, but you know, he's like a, Statham. Statham, yeah, like why. And I guess now to be the king of the expendables. Like, this is just, he likes doing crap. Like, I'm sorry, those Meg movies I think did good internationally. those movies are fucking terrible. The Chinese love the Meg franchise.
Starting point is 00:08:30 They do like Seabees in general, I think. But Fast and Furious movies in Hobbes and Shaw are also not good. No, well, but Fast and Furious at least like that is a brand that they're, I mean, despite where I think a few people in this room thing, there are good ones of them. Really? There are. They're in the back. Okay, I got to go look.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Furious seven is the one I go to bat for, but there are other ones that I think are fine. because she's such a Ronda Rousey head because she's in that one. Holy shit. James Wanhead, but she is, we got to talk about her. She's terrible.
Starting point is 00:09:00 She's so bad in this fucking movie. It is. This is her first acting outing. Sure. I would have done better. And I would look better in the dress. There is, I mean,
Starting point is 00:09:10 she thankfully, I think the moment happened. It was like, you know, mid-aughts, like, oh, here's this really attractive,
Starting point is 00:09:16 you know, UFC fighter and people like, she's got a little charisma, which no one saw. And she did this. she did the entourage movie. She did Furious 7 and that just window closed. Now she just went to the WWE, which makes so much sense. Is she
Starting point is 00:09:31 wrestling? I believe she's wrestling. Yeah. Oh, okay. She's a friend of mine, Jason, I'm not, I shouldn't say it's like, my friend Jason, he like, he helps does like video work for her these days. Like he's, he lives out in Michigan, but he does, he flies out to L.A. to do stuff with her. And he runs and she does like a lot of back in the back, like showing how to do kinetics and like fight stuff
Starting point is 00:09:54 like phone stuff like that. What are these like nudie videos? No, no. Nudy videos. But she is. Yeah, sorry, Rhonda. You just lost $15 for Andrew Jufin. You were about to, you almost closed the deal. She is so bad in this movie. She is terrible, yeah. I mean, like she's just, I mean, she's bad in
Starting point is 00:10:11 entourage. She's bad on everything she's ever done. Wait, bad in an entourage. I'll tell you this, though. Like, I mean, whatever. She's a fighting person. She's not an actor. Yes, exactly. Well, she's not good at this. Every line delivery is still better than her and entourage, which happened after this movie. Somebody's fucking in there. Every time she was on screen during this in my head, I was like, somebody's fucking in there.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Because that is a genuinely terrible line delivery. And I know this person's terrible, but Gina Carrarra. Corona. Karana. She's better. Well, yeah, she was the one that actually made it. And then, of course, whoops a doodle. She's a piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:10:49 She was a better actor. Maybe not so much a better person. No. Well, I think they're both bad people, probably. They hit people for money. Well, sure. I don't get paid. Yeah, you get paid to get hit too. I guess that's fair. Should I be go, should I go into that? Dude, I'd love it. Yeah, I'd love to see you get punched in the face for money.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, these teeth are on their way out anyway. Might as well just fucking finish that off. Are you trying to do a jackass rip? Just like somebody punches you every time. Speaking of which, I mean, you want to finance these new teeth. You can now get these episodes ad free. That's true. Patreon.com slash We Hate Movies.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Go check it out. Pay for my smile. That might get knocked around. Oh, if things get tight. Oh, it will be. I mean, this movie is a disaster. I mean,
Starting point is 00:11:34 I really think this movie is like no redeeming qualities, even as stacked of the cast as it is, which is actually one of the biggest problems. We spend the first 25 minutes getting Wesley Snipes out of, uh, whatever bullshit fake land, he's going to. Serbia, I think it is.
Starting point is 00:11:51 He's actually Serbia. That's a real place. Not as menistan. It's like we get Serbia and then we get Somalia. We get Somalia second. Yeah. This, what is this? Serbia is the train. Swaziland is where Terry Cruz gets shot. They go to Romania at one point and then the end of the movies in a fake country. But you know, it really doesn't matter because it all feels like a fake country. It's all Romania.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Well, what's interesting about it is asmistan? Asmenistan. Asmenistan, when they look at the file after they say it, the file says Afghanistan. No way. It absolutely 100% does. It didn't want the bin Laden estate to sue us, man. Can't say Afghanistan.
Starting point is 00:12:38 But Wesley Snipes, you know, you're so excited. He does nothing in this. In the beginning, it's like, oh, shit. How is Wesley Snipes going to fit in with these expendables? Yep. And then the rest of the movie is just the rest of the movie. It seems like he's integral to the plot. We are breaking him out of this prison train,
Starting point is 00:12:56 this huge sequence. We're calling him Dr. Death. He's killed more people than the plague. He's better at knives than Lloyd Christmas is, if you could believe such a thing. And then nothing. Then he's written out of the movie. There is literally a part in the final action sequence of this movie
Starting point is 00:13:14 where when your brain finally starts to go, hey, where's Wesley? There is literally a shot of him laying on the ground. on playing dead as people run by. And I was like, oh, that's where he's been. Which, you know, I mean, speaking of Patreon, we got an episode on Blade, which I'm glad I was able to watch that before I watched this because I'm like,
Starting point is 00:13:29 oh yeah, I fucking love Wesley Snipes. Exactly. Because here, it's just a pale imitation and it's just, we're doing these dumb jokes, you know, like the whole tax evasion joke. That's why he was in jail. Because I think was this, I mean, this was probably his one of the first
Starting point is 00:13:45 maybe not the return, but like the biggest profile. since he was unfairly fucking jailed for that shit. Because let me find me a fucking white guy that goes to jail for that shit that much. I'll wait. Exactly. Taxation is theft.
Starting point is 00:13:59 This motherfucker did the full term. He was in prison from 2010 to 2013. The full fucking term. They put you in jail for that. Wesley, no, man. You fucking killed a kid. We don't go to jail for taxes, right? We're rich people.
Starting point is 00:14:16 They called it tax evasion. Hey, babe. did I pay taxes on Rocky it's either Rocky 2 or Rocky 3 I stopped paying taxes That's what I was like you know what Enough's enough right I've paid some taxes
Starting point is 00:14:29 I'm Sly's wife I've been paying He doesn't know what he's talking about No dude Rocky 3 I was like no thank you I mean I think the problem there is that You have three major additions to the cast And you give the other two Way more to do you give Mel Gibson
Starting point is 00:14:47 Way more to do way more to say. Which is a villain, which makes sense. Yeah. And also, I mean, Antonio Banderas, he gets a big, at the end, at the back half of this, he gets a lot to do. It is the Antonio Bandera show in the third act. It is. And he's good and he seems energetic and he wants
Starting point is 00:15:02 to be there. I was into this performance by Antonio Banderas. And Mel Gibson's not half bad either. I think the issue is that you get, he, it's probably structured exactly like this where Wesley Snipes is your opener. Mel Gibson fills in the middle part. And then you get Bandaris in
Starting point is 00:15:18 on the end, and that's how your flavor profile's going. Right. And then the, but the first one, the problem is that you also have to set up your stupid fucking movie. So his stuff gets cut right and a half because he did all the setup shit. And that you have the four new baby expendables Ronda Rousey and three
Starting point is 00:15:35 absolute zeros. Glenn Powell? Are you? Well, at the time, an absolute dud and a half. I agree with that because this guy didn't get off the goddamn floor until Top Gun Maverick, right? What else was he in?
Starting point is 00:15:50 Rick Linklater's All right. Come on, come on. Everybody wants them. He's great amended. Because actually, no, I did mean Glenn Powell. He at least is the hacker guy, so he's got stuff to do.
Starting point is 00:16:02 But Victor Ortiz and Kellyn Lutz. I mean, I couldn't tell them apart. I didn't know who was on the motorcycle at the end and I didn't know why I should care. Expendables, too, I think, is the one with Liam Hemsworth or whatever. Yes. Who gets blissfully murdered and actually dies. And that's the thrust to move.
Starting point is 00:16:19 What if we had four of them or whatever? And it's like, this is too much to add, especially when you're trying to make Snipes a thing. Snipes should be least integral to the climax. You're absolutely correct on us. I kept thinking Snipes was going to flip on everybody or something. That's how I was misremembering the movie. Because I think on,
Starting point is 00:16:37 I think it's the end of the faculty episode when Steve, when you say like we're doing Expendables 3 talking about Wesley and whatever. And I was like, isn't he the villain? I had like a big mismemory of him flipping on them. Everyone's a good guy except for Mel Gibson and everybody, everybody lives, which is insane for a movie called The Expendable. And it's a dirty dozen suicide squad-esque premise wherein half of these guys should be killed at each movie. They should be killed. And we should see them die. Instead, we have a PG-13 movie where you do not see really any, like people died, quote, unquote. They fall down. It's all just digital gunfire, which I'm not, I'm not opposed to digital gunfire.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Like, that's clearly a thing that we should be using more these days. But, like, I need fucking squibs. When you have these movies where, like, not only now is it Statham, but Wesley's also a knife guy. Like, I need some throats getting caught. Maybe you see Wesley's shaving with that huge fucking sword knife at the beginning. That needs to decapitate somebody. I also need the commander of the as Manistan. army or whatever to be an actual character, a heavy. And number two to Gibson. I need,
Starting point is 00:17:50 because these just guys wearing army fatigues and berets just falling down doesn't cut it. I need a character that is in the military where we are represented. These are all things that like, yes, if you get rid of the young cast, you can fit these things in. And it's not so much about like, you got to, I can't have my team die on me. The problem is is that that that represents the confused idea of this movie which is like you would think since it's Stallone since it's these older guys the whole point is like to
Starting point is 00:18:22 age gracefully like that you are you are doing like you're still hard you can still do it but like you have accepted your age and you can't keep doing this shit three or four pills I'm hired as a fucking ride don't worry don't even have to last like six hours man it's great but then like the whole thing is that the whole time they're like no actually what's cool
Starting point is 00:18:40 is acting like you're young when you're an older right acting like you can do everything on your own is actually the coolest thing in the world. You set up those four kids to be like a passing of the torch. This is the younger generation of the expendables. We talk about how so many have died. Like Wesley Snipes is like, oh, where's Woods
Starting point is 00:18:56 men and where's whoever? And they are dead. So we get some young blood in there and it's like, oh, this is great. This is, you know, it's passing the torch. Young bucks up and coming. But no, because they're millennials. I have to save them in the end. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:19:12 They cannot have, they cannot actually achieve anything they it drove me nuts but even if that's your point of view then kill three or four of them you know what I mean kill all four of them to be saved kill two of them kill because like there needs to be a body count on that end
Starting point is 00:19:28 even I was thinking about it too like nobody even gets shot like in the action in a random you know any action movie from the 80s any Stallone shorts and anger whatever he's getting shot in the shoulder and he's getting through the facility he's like I don't know if I'm going to make it
Starting point is 00:19:44 These dudes are fucking bulletproof. None of them get shot. Like, there's 12 of them at one point. It's insane. It's a Terry cruiser ratio. That's fair. But at the end of the movie, to your point, there's like 50 people in one helicopter. I'm like, how can this fucking fly?
Starting point is 00:20:00 If you were watching McBain, right? And it's that McBain movie where McBain's partner, he's bought the boat. You're talking about the Simpsons. Not the Christopher walking. Gary Bucie movie. Gary Busey movie. I forget. Whatever. He's in Bulletproof. I know that. Point is. There is that McBain movie
Starting point is 00:20:23 where McBain's partner is like shot to death. The guy, Mendoza. And then imagine if at the end of that McBain movie, the partner was just alive. Like, and whatever, there's on the trivia, like, oh, Terry Cruz begged sly. Like, there has to be something. I mean, I'm sorry. Tough shit.
Starting point is 00:20:41 You're on Brooklyn 9-9. it's a hit TV show. Sorry. But that's the problem with doing these the people, the people they're celebrating, Stallone and all of them, the one thing that they always had in their contract is my hero cannot die. So they probably
Starting point is 00:20:56 allow all of them to have that in their fucking contract. It lessens your fucking product though. And to the thing about like they don't care about the quality of the product. They don't give a fuck. Sly at least was like these will never be PG-13 rated ever again. Man, I love that quote. I was a huge miscalculation on a
Starting point is 00:21:12 That was clearly the problem with this movie. That's the last time I believe the bean counters, man. Because, I mean, it makes no sense because obviously the audience of this movie, as we've said numerous times, is divorced dads. I mean, like, I think we, who are now in the older millennial spectrum, are on the younger cusp of what the audience for this movie is. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:21:34 Like being in our, what, mid-30s when this movie came out or whatever. Yeah, early 30s. But, like, if you are, if you're like, okay, you know, we're worried about the continuation with this franchise or whatever. Let's get young people in. One, the whole conceit of these movies from the jump was, isn't it cool
Starting point is 00:21:51 that all these older action stars are in the same movie? So nobody gives a fuck in the first place. Nobody's fucking coming to these movies for the young kids in them. And like, whatever we think about how great Glenn Powell is, which he is or whatever, but like, who's coming to the movies
Starting point is 00:22:05 for fucking Victor Ortiz? Fuck a nobody. Victor Ortiz, great boxer. Not much of an actor. Nobody gives a fuck. So like either you don't have them in this movie at all And it's just an expendable's adventure Which is what people are buying tickets to
Starting point is 00:22:19 Or they're all dead meets Like Liam Hemsworth is in that second movie JCPD fucking kills that too They should be dead meets because I guarantee None of them are in this fourth movie that's coming out That is now coming out almost 10 years after this movie Because this movie is so fucking terrible Or a third option
Starting point is 00:22:37 Which is probably a better option They're Mel Gibson's squad of super fucking killers right it's like ronda riozzi is like his number two and she's like breaking necks with her thighs and victor artis is punching also like that it is like whatever and like all and they it's young oh my god it doesn't get young bloods how we're going to beat him and that could be Gibson's motivation right is like you're running around the same old fucks look at these new guys that I got or whatever Mia's Stonewall or what's this guy's name stone banks oh stone banks Stone bags. So they save Wesley in a very long protracted sequence. He's in the Hannibal Lecter gear in the first thing. He is. The train sequence is the part that I like with the train sequence is the cord that's like ripping dudes in half. Now again, which I kind of want to see. But it's not. You need to be seeing the rips. You need to be seeing the decapitations. And that's what sucks. That's one of the scenes I'm talking about where I was seeing the potential. Where it's like the expendables get this huge metal cable and string it along the track.
Starting point is 00:23:39 tracks and the train fucking nails it. Nails all the goes by it and the dudes all get railed. And you're like, yeah, but like a fucking torso here and an arm there. Snipes even cut some people's necks in this and we just instantly cut away. And it's like for it's implied. It's producer brain. I mean, it's just, it's what has always killed these things. It's like four quadrant.
Starting point is 00:24:01 We need to have, we have to, that's the Victor Ortizza. UFC in boxing, two people who love that divorced guys and young. people, like theoretically. And I suppose that's what they also thought were about Ronda Rousey. But like Glenn Powell, I mean, he's just a good actor. So I guess that's what your thought process is there. But it's like, I don't know, man, I'm pretty
Starting point is 00:24:21 sure with things like Creed continuing and like the various dipping in and out of movies that Arnold has done over there. It's like, you can still get younger people to these movies without having the fucking kid hit squad. And like fucking Kellyn Lutz, oh, we're going to get some of that Twilight
Starting point is 00:24:37 movie. Oh, yeah. Oh, that one guy from Twilight that like he's not the best actor or the most memorable character but he's the beefiest guy so if you had to pick a Twilight vampire to be an expendable it's Kellyn Lutz and didn't we all love his work in the Nightburn on Elm Street 2010 folks?
Starting point is 00:24:52 Oh yeah, oh yeah, he's a fucking genius. What was? Kellen Lutz? Oh God damn it. I wanted Cam Jigandad. I just got, fuck. Oh, God, okay. Yes, very nice to meet you, Keller. for Kellen Lutz, press four.
Starting point is 00:25:12 For Cam Gigandit, press five. I'll get my boxing brain out again, man. I'm mixing up names. Who cares about any of these fucking people? Get Dutnikov. Get, keep going. Get fucking Carl Weathers. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:27 I mean, Seagal was mentioned. Seagal definitely should be in this movie. Apparently he turned it down. Oh, oh, you're not going to film in Russia? I guess not. Unless you're filming in the Russian Federation, man. I'm not making movies anymore. Oh, does it require me to stand?
Starting point is 00:25:41 No, thank you. Romanian Lou, that's for losers. I need Rupils, baby. Extra, a Rupert. Oh, you want me to play the heavy? I am the heavy. But, like, you had Nick Cage, apparently, in talks to play Bonaparte, the character that is not... Oh, I'll step in for Mr. Cage.
Starting point is 00:25:59 No problem. How was adding Kelsey Grammer to this a thing at all? I can understand Ford because of Jack Ryan and all of his other roles. Of course. I got to tell you, I... I very specifically remember seeing the trailer for this movie in theaters. And they do basically the same victory lap thing that they do at the end of this movie for the trailer to show you all the stars that are in it. And it's like, you know, fucking Sylvester Stallone.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Wush, Terry Cruz, Wush, Jet Lee, Harrison, Ford. And I remember Kelsey Graver comes up and I went, what? Like, literally just out loud in the theater. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? That has to be a mistake. I thought I was getting punked. So we're, we save Wesley, we're in the plane and they're like, you know, there's the funny juggle of what did you do? And he's like, uh, tax evasion.
Starting point is 00:26:46 But I, the real thing. Oh, yeah. Well, he was part of some political assassination. And we got him out of that whole. Well, actually, to be quite honest, he was killing kids. He killed like, he, uh, screw went loose. He turned into a child serial killer in Albania. I mean, like literally like 30, 30, but it wasn't expendable.
Starting point is 00:27:08 always a thing. I mean, like, I got the pictures. They will change your life if you see these pictures. Yo, Sly, what did I say about that? Oh, sorry. Disappeared some children. He disappeared a few of them. Nobody's saying nothing about murder. They used to call him the Baba Yaga because the kids would like check under their bed. We're here because I mean, like literally like 40 kids, a lot of kids. There's a great, like when they're telling like his in the movie, like what the back story is or whatever. And Stallone has to say like it was a botched political assassination
Starting point is 00:27:42 in Swaziland. And the way that Stallone delivers this line, it's as if either Stallone or the character that he's playing doesn't believe that Swaziland is a real country because he goes like, yeah, it was like this titzap political assassination
Starting point is 00:28:01 in some place called Swaziland. And I'm like, that's a real one. You're a geopolitical operative. It's like, that's, I mean, that, you're right. That seems to me, like, if you are a geopolitical operative, something about knowing all the countries.
Starting point is 00:28:17 We're going to stop at Candy Land afterwards. You could get in my drift. Was he supposed to say, Asmanistan there? Because that's the fake country. We go to later. And why the fuck is Swaziland sending a prisoner to Serbia? Is that what's happening?
Starting point is 00:28:32 And there is, like, the thing with the one, the guy's got like an AI portrait of himself. behind him. It is so cheap and it is so shitty. That's like the warden of the jail I think you're talking about. They show this dude and like he does have a single line in the movie but you know he's the big deal because he's got the portrait behind him.
Starting point is 00:28:48 You look at this dude and you're like oh, you're an NPC. Like that's about to be killed. All of these just are nothing faceless Eastern European stuntman. And of course because it's scary Eastern Europe, Europe, right? Like, okay, the train goes right into the
Starting point is 00:29:04 fucking prison. You know what I'm saying? I didn't even think of it. I mean, I think that is just like all these movies and sometimes in louder ways than others, they have to show the right winger some leg. You know, so stuff like that has to, we'll get to one line, but fucking Kelsey Grammer,
Starting point is 00:29:23 which is a howler, but like the one thing that struck me the most is at the end of this movie when they're doing the like show off like, who's in this movie. Right. Each one of the characters gets their own stupid gun.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Yes, they do. They get a stupid little digital gun that they're not holding. It's just in front of you. Just to remind you about guns one more time. Just FYI, that is an NFT. That's going to be worth more than gold for dishing. Take out your cell phones now. NFT for free.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Kelsey Grammers is an airplane. Yes. Which may or may not contain money. All right. Oh, the money plane. So they go, they're like, oh, by the, the way we're going right immediately to another job. And like
Starting point is 00:30:09 Snipes's like, oh, you know, I wanted to go home. I wanted to do this and that. It's like, no, man, you think you got boosted for free. Everybody's got to work here. Oh, there's no plan. We're just going to shoot stuff. I mean, that's just, I mean, I just, where are we going? I don't know. We're going to shoot stuff. We do meet up here with Terry Cruz as the legendary
Starting point is 00:30:25 Hail Caesar. And he's got, he's got a big boat that he's waiting for these dudes to get on so we can go do this mission. He's like, oh, we got a kid. catch up with arms deal and Victor Mims whenever the fake name
Starting point is 00:30:38 first. Frankie Munez. It's fucking ridiculous, man. I couldn't believe it when I read the profile. Frankie Munez, successful child actor, man,
Starting point is 00:30:47 I watch Malcolm the Milder just as much as anybody. Now, world famous arms. How's Hank doing? Arms deal and tiny race car driver. You know, we're just going to, we're just jumping into
Starting point is 00:31:01 another action sequence. Right away. And I just, yeah, I mean, like, and that's a thing, too, is that I mean, like, it's, it's been my problem with action movies for a while, like, A, action sequences are way too long. Yes. And there's too, too damn many of them.
Starting point is 00:31:12 I'm sorry. Yeah. I am not over that first sequence yet. Yes. I don't know who half these characters are. I'm still, I need like a scene of like camaraderie or like, and again, even a, even a planning scene would ground me. Well, that's why we got to go back to Rusties, dude.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Go back to that fucking more. Formulate the plan. Go over it. I guess that's sort of a way that the fast. Furious does it better because they'll take that moment to be, you know, you got Vin Diesel. Gotta get a plan, man. Yeah, exactly. He's going to the safe house. Look at a
Starting point is 00:31:42 couple LED TV. That's what I fucking love an LED television set. By the way, this is Somalia. This is Somalia. This is Somalia. This is Mugatishu. Swaziland was where he had the tits up political assassination. This is Somalia. Terry Cruz gets, has his problem
Starting point is 00:31:58 and has a really bad back pain at the end of this, you know, gets shot in the back. I mean, it's a whole other big, dumb action secrets. I will say a whole lot of it. No, no, we don't have to, but I will say a highlight of it, even though it's like not, I feel a movie with a bigger budget does this better because you maybe could actually do it with less digital.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Sure. But all the shit of like Wesley, or I should say Wesley's stunt double parkour climbs like up to this little crane thing and he's picking up the shipping container and he's like, hey guys, I got your ride and all the expendables get in this and like parts of that are cool. But like if you had waited, I don't. know, 20 minutes. Yes. Just so I could figure out
Starting point is 00:32:37 what the movie's supposed to be about instead of jumping right into this because it is exhausting, but we're shooting a bunch of stunt doubles here and the long and short of it is the dude mims or whatever the guy, this arms dealer, uh-oh, Sly's looking through his binoculars.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Oh, oh, man. Oh, I think I know that guy, mate. Oh, hang out of shaky. Oh, that's my mortal enemy. Let me pause before I shoot him in the head. I just got to give a... A minute, a minute. No, not going to shoot him.
Starting point is 00:33:07 The yelling of Stonebanks when he sees him is so incredible. It's a fucking war cry and he's like firing wildly. And I think the rest of the expendables are like, what is he doing? Did he just yell Stone Banks? What the fuck is that? Oh, he's finally losing it. Okay. This has got to be his last mission.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Okay. Yeah, it is late in the day. We should have known before we even got out. Oh, did you get a nap in here, man. The CTE, these guys must have forget about it. Oh, with all the flashbang. getting thrown off buildings and whatnot? We do find out later that Stonebanks
Starting point is 00:33:37 wasn't expendable. He co-founded. One of the co-founder. So it's... Founding father. This time it's personal, man. Yeah. Which is... Co-founder right there. There's names on the wall. You better lawyer up. Because I'm not coming for five percent.
Starting point is 00:33:55 I'm coming for all of it. It's the 90s. We're going to sue you. Actually, it's 2014. Sorry, I left my fuck you flip-flops. No. Who would be Timberlake in this scenario? I think it's got to be fuck. Kelsey Grammer. Stonebank, it's cleaner.
Starting point is 00:34:19 But so they dispatch of all stone banks, bad guys, and then Stone Banks on his way as he escapes. And he has, he has sly in his sights. And he's like, no, that's not enough. Then he goes to Terry Cruz and he's like, I'm going to shoot I, the most, we talk about what a fucking psychopath piece of shit monster
Starting point is 00:34:39 this guy is fucking sell this guy up who kills no one of consequence. No, no. It seems like a good guy. He's got a lot to say, that's for sure. He shoots Terry Cruz notably in the leg and the ass. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:51 And also, it's the back. Is it the back? Because he's got, I thought it was the ass at first too, because I think that's where like the sight is when the gunshot goes off. But his whole fucking chat. is blown out. Oh, I see. So they're doing like, you know, like pressing out. It does like an ass shot. That's why I was confused. I was like, I don't know. I mean, like, I mean, like, is that the best place to get shot? His ass has two weeks to do. It's the JFK magic bullet at that. If he aims it there and it comes out his chest. Oh, yeah, got him in the ass. And then it took a sharp left and went up into his chest. Just by accident. Whoops. You know, you know, Stonebanks all in general needs to be actually meaner and more evil than the actor playing him. You know, yes. Let's true. Give him. Give him. some actual weird shit to say
Starting point is 00:35:34 so far as Stonebanks way better person than Mel Gibson as far as I can tell generally speaking yes he's a connoisseur of the fine arts I've heard some stories that don't seem good about him but you know generally speaking I didn't get to see that file on him that yeah
Starting point is 00:35:49 Stallone's passing around I think that Stonebanks couldn't actually get bookwork with S Craig Zaller actually like I think that he's too good of a guy yeah I mean apparently he did some more crimes that the Hague is going to be involved Yes, that's, we learned a little later. But what is that these days?
Starting point is 00:36:06 We all do war crimes. Isn't that going to be most people who own banks at this point? War crimes? Yeah, I think they all go to the Hague, right? Any major bank who, anybody who runs it, okay things, I think they all go to the Hague. In a just world, perhaps. Well, that's what I'm saying. Find me a banker going to jail, dude.
Starting point is 00:36:25 I don't know about that. Let's not about the expendables world. We'll see. Yeah. Well, the Wesley steps can go work for a bank and then you put them in jail as you'd see a banker we'd go to jail. But yeah, I do love, it is kind of a supremely nice fuck you that Stone Banks gives these guys just drops this missile on them. And they all go flying into the river. Yes, the classic when the explosions, the force of the explosion and you're not actually going to be hurt. You're fine. It's like getting a gentle warm breeze. Right. You get pushed into the nearby body of water, which happens. happens to Stallone twice in this fucking movie. Yes, you're right. Twice later on the bridge. And we get a little saving private Ryan screech noise because
Starting point is 00:37:07 a post bomb, right? Is that here? Yeah, yeah. You get this. It's saving private Ryan. Stallone's holding this use. That's at the end. Oh, that's at the end. But like the, the, the, them around the body. It is like Giovanni Ribisi you got to fucking lose it. Oh, yes. And, and, but it's funny because that is that scene. But all around them is 9-11. It's all ashy shit everywhere.
Starting point is 00:37:27 They're still on there. It's 2014 and you're still doing that shit, man. Absolutely. You got to do it, dude, because if you don't, then all your fucking, your voting block's going to forget. And it's very unclear. It seems like they take him back to America. They do because I was just, that was my next thing.
Starting point is 00:37:43 That's exactly what they do. This dude gets fucked up in Somalia and they're like, you know what? Airlift him to New Orleans so he can be at Parrish General Hospital because we got to be down the block at Rusties, our favorite Nalans hang out. You look me in. Do you trust a Somalian doctor? You look me in the eye, you tell me. Hey, fuck face.
Starting point is 00:38:04 I saw Captain Phillips. Fuck that shit. Listen, I just looked on my phone. There is no et tufei in a 60-yard radio. If I'm going to be at this guy's bedside, I need some etufei, I would like maybe a bouffalada sandwich a little bit. I'd maybe like Mickey worked aria prize his role. Oh, he's not doing that.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Okay. That's a big mistake. Yeah. And that apparently, that voice. is why the Boataparte character exists in this film just fucking listen
Starting point is 00:38:34 remove one of the kids the younger people Sure whichever one you want Call and Lutz It's Keln Lutz No it's Kellyn Lutz So the next
Starting point is 00:38:43 movement of the film is basically the plot of three to four Harry Potter movies which is Oh no All my friends are in truck I a very special young boy And putting my friends in danger
Starting point is 00:38:57 about being so special and the big bad is going to get him. I have to push my friends away. I got to tell them to go home. And like they quit and everyone's so mad. It's exactly the plot of at least three Harry Potter movies. And then at the end they come back and they're like, wow
Starting point is 00:39:13 I guess I needed you all along my friends. Expelliabus. But now I got... Expendium. I got new friends. I got new friends like helicopter and Harrison Ford who flies helicopter. Big thing that I hate that Stallone leaves at the hospital with
Starting point is 00:39:30 Hale Caesar here is my lucky ring. With the Super Bowl ring? Yeah, the trope of like characters having lucky things I just despise because I think thinking that you have a lucky thing is baby shit and it's embarrassing. This guy would definitely have a lucky hat. It's sports brain, you know? Like those guys are like I got to put on my diaper to watch the Giants. My lucky diaper. The last time the Giants won the Super Bowl man that was taking a huge dump in a diaper
Starting point is 00:39:59 I better do that again I don't mind having like a lucky whatever thing that's fine I think it is a little ridiculous if it is like a limited edition Tom Hardy jewelry special made I don't know what the fuck is
Starting point is 00:40:14 even on this thing I don't know what's going on by the way with these dudes and their huge fucking meat cleaver hands or whatever but I'm looking at this ring and I'm like I think that would be a bracelet on me Well, yes. It just looks so huge. Well, maybe like in Lord of the Rings that we get smaller if I came to here.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Like Soron takes it off. It's like, oh, wow, it's huge. I'll put this on and I disappear. Like a glove. Also in the hospital really quickly. I know we moved on, but Wesley Snipes wearing a hip hat. He looks fucking cool right here.
Starting point is 00:40:47 He's wearing a hip hat. I would be like, so you guys got this. That guy, I feel so bad for it. please give me the card I'll sign it I'm honestly said I haven't been out of I've been in fucking suburbian prison for fucking 20 years for killing children I'm you know you know
Starting point is 00:41:04 getting a haircut get laid you know what I mean I get eating the sandwich gives himself a haircut with a big old knife yeah that's great why spend the money I mean come on or taking a shower possibly you know what I mean like but he likes to kill that's what he's been wanting to do all these years and he hasn't been able to do it he's got to get back
Starting point is 00:41:23 He doesn't seem particularly bummed out about having to go on them. You're right, because his name is Dr. Death. And that is screenplay. We've got to take that again. Oh, okay. So we'll put a Doctor Death in now. We need something better than that later. Yes.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Also in this scene, though, the return of Trench. Here's Arnold. Is he going to blow through? How is he doing? Do you like my hair dye? It's a shade or two more chestnut than yours hair dye sly. It's due to the cheap. his shit on the market, as you
Starting point is 00:41:55 can see. I visit him every day. I hold his hand. I crushed one of them. I'm sorry. I crushed his hand. Poor Hail Caesar. I feel so bad for him. You can tell him, is that his real name?
Starting point is 00:42:09 It can't be. Also, that's a little stupid. I know we're doing camaraderie. It just doesn't ring true that any of these guys would visit fucking anyone in the hospital. Well, they do the one time, but no one's sitting. Oh, is he dead?
Starting point is 00:42:22 No one's like sitting, you know, vigil on him or whatever. But when he dispans, so Stallone disbands the expendables. Yes. And he's like, you know, it's getting too real out there. I can't imagine one of you guys dying. Like, that's the whole point of the whole fucking franchise. You're called the expendables, dude. It's not called the fucking inclusivity survivor brigade.
Starting point is 00:42:45 You know what I mean? Like, come on. Oh, you know, it's just, I'm just so worried that you got, we're going to do. We're going to live fast and we're going to be in a hole and no one's going to care. Like that's something you've got to work on personally. You need to make interpersonal relationships. Maybe meditate. If someone's going to work at your fucking go to your funeral.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Live fast, die old. Live fast, die old and live a fucking HGH ridden corpse. Yes. Totally. Make it look like you are a fucking old catcher's myth that's also somehow smoking four packs a day as a baseball glove. I guarantee you when he dies and his family has died at DM. It's going to be a Psalm affair. I know, but like he's going to
Starting point is 00:43:23 look like an alien. He's going to be like gray something with all those chemicals being like released at once. It's like melt him a little bit. He'll turn to Bruce Davis at the first X-Men into nothing. Because he's more chemical than man. Yes. When I die, I'm going to turn into a puddle. I can't wait to be jelly. I've waited all my life to be jelly.
Starting point is 00:43:45 There is a great like in that right before he breaks everybody up again just because Arnold, it's a great Arnold. It's a great Arnold, where he's just like, oh, fuck, what does he say? Hang on. It's at the hospital. He's just like, let me know if you need any help with Stonebanks. And it's just like, let me know if you would like me to continue to be in the film, which I will.
Starting point is 00:44:08 I thought you killed Storm Banks. Oh, wow. Which one was he again? I'm so, like, checked out of this whole enterprise. Everyone has such cool but forgettable names. Oh, yeah. He's the one who worked for Walter Rockcheck. Who was Tankhammer?
Starting point is 00:44:27 I just have to work tank hammer in my brain. I feel like we went somewhere with him. Was there a real guy named Tankhammer is just a cool thing I made up in my brain? Don't you have a guy named Toll House? Toll Road. Yeah, he makes cookies, right? Oh, Randy Couture. I love your chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Toll Road. He talks as much. He talks as much as a tall house cookie in this one, I'll tell you that much. Fuck him, remove him. That's, no, dude, kill him. Kill him. Yeah, it should be the end of the road
Starting point is 00:45:01 for old Toll, right? Because I think he got, he got the Terry Cruz in the second one. I think he's the one who got injured. Oh, is that right? He should have been killed, and then we could have paid Mickey Rourke or Bruce Willis or Nick Cage. These guys need to be like the drummer in Spinal Tap,
Starting point is 00:45:17 where it just gets an increasingly hilarious way the dude dies all the time. You know what I mean? Well, but instead, guess who's drummer in this? Harrison Ford. Oh, yeah, drummer. Drummer. Drummer's in the house.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Bam, bum, bum, bum. Here he comes, dude. Just like, what fucking hole did you pull this guy out of for this thing? It's insane. Church can't come. He had self-respect. Oh, yeah, church had the audacity church, Bruce Willis had the audacity to fucking ask for a little more money in this movie.
Starting point is 00:45:43 They're like, nope. And Harrison Ford gobbling up his scraps. That's kind of embarrassing. It is. And it's, I mean, like, it's, it's like, and the problem with the movie is it's so self-aware because he even says something like, yeah, well, church, he's out of the picture, which is, you know, L-I, L-O-L, he's out of the picture.
Starting point is 00:46:01 And then later in the movie, to let you, the audience know that Harrison Ford had fun in the movie, he has to go, man, I'm having fun doing this. Yeah, he, I don't know, I mean, this is probably just my own brain poisoning, but I feel like he doesn't belong in this. No, he's like, he's like one echelon above these guys. Oh, absolutely. I mean, also is, I mean, Benderas is as well, I think.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Because Benares didn't do a lot of... Well, he does more of that stuff now. Like, now he does that. Yeah, aside from Desperado. Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe now he's in a movie with Stollon? A sassist. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:34 That's a total state tune. It's a total state tune. So I don't know, I don't know. I want him to be above this level, but I don't think he is. But I do think that Harrison Ford had achieved beyond this level. I think they all like having this, uh, They like being in with these guys, though. I think Harrison Ford and Antonio Banderas
Starting point is 00:46:56 and everybody who's involved with this likes the fact that they, like, they've done the genre stuff. They've roughed it. They've talked with the stunt men. They have that kind of relationship. The elder statesmen kind of coming in. Apparently they also approached Clean Eastwood for some role. This seems like it would have been more of his own. He should have directed it.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Oh, God, in heaven, yes. That is what you, if you want. I'm having a ball flying this helicopter. would at least, I feel like has more of an action film pedigree with the Spaghetti Western's Dirty Harry versus Harrison Ford, which he still did I guess Indiana Jones is a But even the action that Ford has participated
Starting point is 00:47:31 in largely is way more dominated by the fantastical realm of like Indiana Jones Star Wars shit like or big action movies like Witness you know what I mean? Like which is an action film. Rampick. Hollywood homicide. Random hearts
Starting point is 00:47:47 six days. Six days. see that now we're getting into the stuff that's closer to what these guys do it's just because it's harrison for you can call you he can cab it like that he can ask for five extra million i gotta got to have got to have harrison in the movie man i mean oh my god working girl is amazing in that harrison we no i mean i love you science fiction movies that witness with science fiction those people those people aren't around right that's what plan did that take place what was that movie man where like that little alien sees a murder and like you had to go to like his little weird alien community where they don't believe in electric well amish people those are really is it Pennsylvania you say they were replicants right
Starting point is 00:48:33 or they had to be robots they're not aliens the robots this guy's always fuck around with aliens those guys are great every day with this guy alien robot one of the others and Peter Weir thought of that whole thing all by himself just up in his head like that I mean it's amazing he could do that in the Harry Truman show it's amazing he was one of the greatest presidents man
Starting point is 00:48:59 because that president Harry Truman he was like cue the son dude I saw a Truman show scared those shit out of me I check under my bed every night for a camera I'm like no thank you because you know what I think that happens to me I think I've been
Starting point is 00:49:14 I've talked to Emrick a few times and we're close he could be this he could be Jesus in me it's happening it's happening now for Sala he is in the Truman show he's on that reality show the family Stallone
Starting point is 00:49:26 he finally did it like you've seen that I've seen every episode how far proudly how far above the level of yeah there's cameras you because my daughters are hot
Starting point is 00:49:38 does that show actually get because that's why it's a show yeah that's it That's it. That's the entire show. And then also he has like three very attractive young daughters. There's there's, I think there's like a,
Starting point is 00:49:49 there's a, there's like five seconds on the set of Tulsa King. And then the rest is like, we got to buy a house in Florida because I'm not letting my daughter move cross country without me being there. Oh, man. Yeah. That's weird. It is weird.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Yeah, my daughter's pretty hot, right? You like my hot daughter, Paramount Plus? Oh, yeah. We're moving the compound. baby daughter's got to be on the compound at all time. So the compound moved with the baby girl. I think there was one episode where it's just like they were going to like the family was like going to Philadelphia or something. And one of the daughters was like, well, I moved to Florida and I have like I'm starting college or whatever.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I really can't. No, you got it. You want to be out of the family? Oh, Jesus. And to the point where she actually shows up. She has to go. Really? That's how it is with them, man.
Starting point is 00:50:40 That sucks. When he jingles those keys, you come like a good dog. Jinglinglingling, lingling. Just like Wesley, dude, in one of my favorite movies, I made Expendable Three. Yes, yes. Dad, could you stop jingling the keys? Because in this, it's the dog tags that jingle. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:01 So, but drummer is like, listen, you fucked. And there's a little, Harrison Ford gives a little more than zero in this, which was shocking. There's that line where he's like, it's your fuck up up and I'm wearing it. I'm wearing it. That's pretty great. It's kind of nice
Starting point is 00:51:17 hearing him use hard profanity. Sure. You know what I mean? It's not going to be like my fucking Goddaughters got me looking for this time travel device. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Nine years ago, he looks even more frail than he does today almost. Dude, he does look better now. I don't know what was going on in 2014. I'm thinking the stem cells, the endocrine.
Starting point is 00:51:39 They got it all out there. Those are going to say glistice is sucking them dry. Oh, well, I also think like, I could use a few years off me too. I think he gave a shit about Indiana Jones. That's why he went to the gym, probably put on some muscle or whatever. Right. Old man muscle, absolutely. But, I mean, I think in this movie he's like, ah, because also very famously, like,
Starting point is 00:52:00 it was like a three to four day window when like Willis pulled out and they needed Harrison for it. Yeah, I'll fucking do it. But you better work in a joke about me coming on short. notice into the picture. Oh, you already did. Excellent. Definitely got that. I got to talk down to Stallone, though. That's got to be the key thing here. He's kind of having a ball talking shit to Sylvester Sloan. You can see this. So his whole thing is like, yes, you know, here's the mission. Blobbidi-blow. I'm just as pissed off as you are that this dude turned out to be your ex-buddy.
Starting point is 00:52:29 I don't give a shit what his name is. You got to go capture this guy. Bring him to the Hague for trial for war crimes. And Stallone's whole thing is, well, I fired my whole team. I need. I need a someone to help me get the new team and we are talking like 25 minutes of this movie is a montage with fucking Stallone and Kelsey Grammer road tripping it around the country to get these new recruits but even like I think Ford is like you got like he's like the time is ticking and then like and Stallone's like man we got no time we got to put team together in no time in which case let's go to a fucking coffee shop have a list and be like what does this guy do Okay, cross him in.
Starting point is 00:53:09 Oh, I have quite the history of doing business in a coffee shop. While we're like getting this crew together, when we cut back to Stonebanks. Yes. He's just buying art. It does nothing for the movie aside from like snooty bad guy by art part of movie. He needs to be doing something Evel, something sort of like a Mel Gibson figure would do. Because what, because it's kind of yelling at a girlfriend. Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Being anti-Semitic to the police force. Something like that. Because he has all of the Like, because that happened by now, right? Yeah. Oh, of course. Way, Pat. Well, it has.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Yeah. But he has all of the social status of an 80s villain. Yeah. But you don't see him do all the dastardly shit. Like he's a dude high up in society. He buys paintings that he thinks are shit, but he's willing to drop three million dollars on him. Because his babe of a wife gets excited about it. He's literally got two massive, identical Mr. Burns attack dogs at his mansion.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Yes. Moscow where he lived. They need to be set upon Stallone. Oh, no, he's dogs. Exactly. Use this world your building instead of just tossing it away and give Gibson some evil shit to do.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Maybe he runs a fundraising organization for the fraternal order of the police or something. Yeah. Well, because I think you lose all that stuff with these modern action movies because you are filming, like all of these movies, like the final encounter has to take place at a fucking burned out former Ugo Slavian tire factory.
Starting point is 00:54:39 And, like, that's what this is. So it's like, you can't have any of that. If it was a thing where it was like, oh, the raid at his house or whatever. Or like that you can have the dogs and the wife. The palatial estate. Yes, exactly. A palatial estate or a high rise. Let's do something different than just the factories.
Starting point is 00:54:55 The bombed out village that we've seen. They filmed the rise of Ultron fucking two blocks up the road. That's right. Like, I don't, I mean, like, so we, yeah, we go one by one very slow. slowly with all of these dudes. And I couldn't give a fuck about these kids. We get Glenn Powell first. He's the hacker. There's not a funny joke, but a kind of annoying one.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Like there's a fat dude behind a monitor. And they're like, and still, it's like, I don't need an office worker. He's like, oh, no, he's doing parkour for some reason. Right. He's climbing this rock. He's jumping off this rock base and then using his fucking a parachute to land. That's how bad ass he is there, dude, because that's an accident. The parachute is his.
Starting point is 00:55:37 like safety thing. He's just free climbing like Shatner in the beginning of Star Trek 5 and the rock falls but he's such a badass that he's got that backup parachute or whatever. Kelsey Grammer in this movie. Yes. As bone apart. I cannot imagine
Starting point is 00:55:53 that's a two what Eric is saying. This is an RNCE bet. I don't think Nick Cage would have been good in this. No, no. It's below him. This is way below. That Kelsey Grammer is actually exactly who should have been this role if this role was going to exist, period.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Right. Well, I think you could do someone else than Kelsey Grammar. I feel like if you're doing this. David Hyde Pierce. All, no, this. Always go Hyde Pierce of a grammar. This, this whole franchise exists to be like,
Starting point is 00:56:21 look at all these action stars together. Kelsey Grammer does not fit that mold whatsoever. But he is the part, I think, of the right wing flirt. Because he does, he does show up in all those movies. It's just a cheap man's John Void. Exactly. Or something. That would make more sense.
Starting point is 00:56:38 John Void and Heat is essentially what he's doing here, except for without the character and with all the good detail in Michael Mastricht. And also fucking Mel Gibson's already the right wing flirt, you know? I mean, I guess so. So is Stallone. I got a new story about a lot of the past. So is every single person in the guy.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Essentially all the people. I mean, I don't know what Glenn Powell's politics are. Oh, I bet Ronda Rousey's is terrible. Well, I mean, Ronda Rousey, I don't know that, but I just, I get some six cents. You want to believe that. until she proves me wrong. Rhonda Rousey,
Starting point is 00:57:10 the problem with her in the introduction in this movie is that like, do you, I don't know if a single shot of anybody here
Starting point is 00:57:19 was in the same place. Like they talked about that with Marvel movies. Yeah. This nightclub scene, like her fighting, they cut around it to make it so she doesn't
Starting point is 00:57:27 have to do jack shit. Like I didn't really believe any of the fucking fight was happening. I could do it. I could do it. I will say, you can always do it. it, Eric. By the way, no, I just thought of someone for Kelsey Graber, Tom Seismore.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Yeah. Sure. Sizmore was supposed to be the fucking, uh, was he? He was supposed to be a stone fence. Really? Stone banks. Oh, I need a re. All right, listen, give me a list of the biggest women punchers in Hollywood. I'm looking for stone banks. He's not going to punch a woman in the movie, but I need, okay, I got Tom Seismore. Ooh, Bell Gibson. I'm getting tempted by Bill Gibson. You know, Sean Connery. another woman puncher. Ladies slap. It's fucking stone banks.
Starting point is 00:58:09 You thought I was dead. Ooh, dude, that would be incredible, right? The gravitas, the fucking James Bond is now getting in the mix. Yep. That's like, that's the line they haven't crossed. And now two of them are dead. So you can't.
Starting point is 00:58:24 But like, and you're not going after. Connery was probably retired by the name. You could probably get Pierce in here. Pierce would have been fun in this movie. Oh, Pierce would have been at the light. Yeah. And he would do it too.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Here's the one that would do. A sexy dashing villain? Yes. Oh my God. There I got that, Eric. Mel Gibson's right there. No, they don't got it. He was in one of the worst.
Starting point is 00:58:44 He was the last year, that Mermaid King movie. Ooh. What is, wait, what? Pardon me? He plays the king of a foreign land and the daughter finds a mermaid. Oh, yes. And what's this called? I don't do.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Did you see it? Of course. I watched it. I think I might own it on Amazon Prime. Oh, one of those like I could watch it now and own it forever. pathetically, or I can wait a week and I've been there. I wanted to make sure you weren't talking trash based on trailers.
Starting point is 00:59:11 No, no, but I'll tell you another thing that I saw this year with Pierce that was quite abysmal is the outlaws. I don't know what that is. It's the guy, what the fuck is that guy's name? Adam Devine from workaholic. It's him and like he's going to marry his lady
Starting point is 00:59:27 friend and then it's like, oh they need wedding dates? No, that's like a day. I need wedding dates. Terrible movie. Based on a true story. of dudes christen i know but no um oh the outlaws so it's like oh we're gonna meet her parents finally uh-huh and it's pierce broszen and i forget the woman playing the mother but they're both like assassin spy and it just turns into this fucking action comedy nonsense yep it's so awful and i got to tell you like adam divine in fits and starts you know like on gemstones
Starting point is 00:59:59 whatever it's totally fine i don't have anything against the dude but like the movie asks this guy to lead an action comedy and oh absolutely not he has this is where I noticed it because I think it was like the longest I've ever seen Adam Devine do anything sure this dude has such intense Dan Aykroyd vibes yeah it's
Starting point is 01:00:17 chilling bone chilling when you watch him in a movie where he's the main character and he's because he's got the same like I'm an adult with big little boy boy scout attitude and that's like the Dan Aykroyd vibe this kid's got that up the ass and it's
Starting point is 01:00:33 really weird. Make this get a ghostbuster. Bump him up, dude. Dude, he could be fucking Jim Stance. Absolutely. No more Ghostbusters. Well, they're coming. Well, tough shit. There's another one. There's artists. You know what? They should be bust in Sylvester Stallone.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Dolph Lundgren. Let me go down the list. No, it's only the expendables that are dead. So, uh... No, but all these people, all these aging action stars should be dead and they will be sued. Um, but so Ronda Rousey, we, we, the first expend, which is expended girl?
Starting point is 01:01:03 What is weird, man? I don't think we did you expend the girls. There is that like expendable. Expendable bells. Yes, which I did see quite terrible. Right. Because Cynthia Rothrock is definitely in it. She's like one of the leads. But that's the point. Fuck Kelsey Grammer. Give me Cynthia
Starting point is 01:01:22 Rothrock. But a woman couldn't organize people to be hired for a job. Let me get you a bunch of guys off this list. It's me Cynthia Rothrock. Here we go. We're going to do. What are it is an explosion. Shivs, X-Spirit. I'm more of a karate fader. You don't want me talking too much. It kind of sound a little bit like this. No, these guys are you can't trust these guys. Yes, we're meeting at a fight club. Isn't that
Starting point is 01:01:47 something? Oh, that's when he goes to Vegas. That's the funniest part. So like, time is of the essence. Fucking Harrison Ford told us as much. Instead of going to Vegas to find bone apart, why don't you just give this guy a call? Hey, man, why does you meet me a JFK so we can go to our next flight easier? Well, that's, I mean, that you would not get, and this is throughout, even the montages as well, you get butt rock front and adjusts. Oh, God.
Starting point is 01:02:12 And, where, wait, wait. God, come with me now. Oh, you're talking about music, not one of the characters' names. Like, there's a toll road. Oh, my God, they shot butt rock. Bat rock. Oh, he'll live, though.
Starting point is 01:02:26 Don't worry about. Oh, thank God that butt rock was saved. I was, I lit a candle last night for butt rock. I shed a tear for my good friend, Bud Rock. I did the prayer. I came to the hospital every day for dearest bootrock. Wesley Snipes, I think it is very cool. You were such a hip hat to go pay respect to Butt Rock.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Yes, Church sent all these flowers for Buttrock. His butt could pull through. Is that what I want to know, please? Christmas, give it to me straight. Will Butt Rock see through the night? I don't care if we lost Caesar. What about Bot Rock? That fucking come with me now song by Congos.
Starting point is 01:03:06 You can't, I mean, it's a terrible song, but perfect for what this should be. Like, you can't start an establishing shot of Las Vegas and make it look exactly like a tourism commercial for Las Vegas, which is what this is. Like, you hear this fucking terrible song and it's all these shots of the strip or whatever. And it's like, you should see sexy couples throwing dice at the table jumping in fountains. Come on. Again, you're filming only in Romania. So it's just, you're just buying clip packages from other people. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:03:36 That's true. So, yeah, they go to a nightclub and it's like, New York City. Okay, they go to a nightclub, New York City. It's like, so who, where's the guy? There's got to be a guy. Oh, it's a nice, attractive hostess. He's like, look at her. She's the one.
Starting point is 01:03:50 And like, she's the bouncer. Yes. And like she does. And I mean, I think that like that's, that's the weird thing. Apparently Victor Ortiz who we're going to meet next. Never throws a punch in this movie. They set up Snipes as like a, a, And they don't give these guys, or these actors, I should say, what they do, why you want to watch them.
Starting point is 01:04:10 You never see the specialty. Except for Ronda Rousey, which is actually a good thing. It's like, oh, wow, she's doing her leg grab thing. That's the tornado leg drop, whatever that thing is. Because everybody else I need, like, I want calling cards so I know what they're doing and who they are. Steve, you cannot, of core, you cannot alienate your core audience. And part of your core audience are valor thieves. So they want to be able to say
Starting point is 01:04:34 I'm a knife expert No I can't do anything but the knife No, that's true I'm a kicking expert I oh my leg is hurting You gotta make sure that all the dudes that are competitors on that knife show you watch
Starting point is 01:04:46 Can watch this movie and be like Absolutely How are you doing with that? And then meanwhile they all fucking have to go to the fucking medical tent halfway through Oh man I bet it never got this hot when the expendables were fighting
Starting point is 01:05:01 So Steve, how's that been? How's the knife show goes? Is that still on? It is. On and off that they... Forged in fire. Forged and fire. They changed hosts.
Starting point is 01:05:10 I was a little... Really? I was a little miffed by it. Would they get in there now? Donnie Jeffcoat? No, just another big, big meathead dude. But the last meathead, I liked. This meathead not so much.
Starting point is 01:05:20 And I think the last meathead might have quit because he might have been a man that might not want the vaccine possibly. Oh, sure. Also, he's wanted for questioning on Jan 6th. I mean, just fucking get it seems like David Spade and Jeff Foxworthy will do it for cheap
Starting point is 01:05:35 Just get them in there You might be smarter than a knife You said that's a tang But she, you know She knocks these dudes out She's in And then like we have four to five jokes Like yeah
Starting point is 01:05:49 Why don't you try doing that in a dress Oh yeah No you think she's good now Watch our fight Without the high heels on Oh yes Bonaparte Since phone apart, since you're in this cup, you've got to introduce me to Carrie Bradshaw.
Starting point is 01:06:05 She is so hot, man. And I like those rider broads. I love them. Yeah, she's not an expendable, but could she spend, baby? She is able to spend. I couldn't even find her article today. I was looking everywhere for her. Nobody would help me.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Everybody said I was an idiot. But then just like that, I was talking to her. Could you believe it? She actually dated Stowe. I don't know how I feel about dating a girl who used to date Stonebanks. Did you know her her friend was almost in the Senate? She's so cool. Did they have the character run for Senate?
Starting point is 01:06:43 I don't think so. Because Cynthia makes me remember for governor. I voted for in that primary. I was being still out. Oh, I see. Oh, yeah. That makes sense. So then we go to Arizona to get Victor Ortiz at some like training facility or whatever.
Starting point is 01:06:56 And this is one of the fucking. funniest things. I want to get the name right because I was like, I don't know what this is. So they get to this, it's like a, it's a camp or army base or whatever and they go to see Victor Ortiz who's like boxing really quickly. That's the only punching you see. He doesn't punch a person. But they walk by, do you guys notice this? They're walking through the camp or whatever. They walk by this car. And the branding on the car, my eyes had been tuned to them because like, ha ha, there's a part where Ford Harrison Ford is in a Ford and over. So I'd been, like, looking at car makes and whatnot.
Starting point is 01:07:31 And he's near a model T-1-1-1-0. T-800, fuck, shit. They walk by, no, they walk by a car. And on the front of it, like, where you'd see, like, the Toyota logo or whatever, it just says, Haval, H-A-V-A-L. And I was like, what the fuck is that? And then I had the thought, oh, of course, not a second of this movie was filmed in America. And I looked it up.
Starting point is 01:07:51 You better believe that's a very popular Chinese automobile right there. But just in the world of this movie is supposed to be at an American. military base in Arizona L.OL.L. Nice try. And he's set up, Victoria's he's set up as a weapons expert, which he doesn't. It's never even like, so Victorite's what should we use on this job? All right, I got
Starting point is 01:08:11 this gun and that gun and whatever else. One. You don't get the setup. It's like McGruber. You get all these guys, these amazing experts. And then instead of blowing them up in a van, they're a hilarious fan. Better option. Better option. Actually has a kill count. And here instead, they just get captured
Starting point is 01:08:27 by Stonebanks. It's just like, well, Stone Banks is just that good. Callum Lutz is the last one and the most annoying because it's like, oh man, I will be turning this franchise over to you, Mr. Kellyn Lutz. Because it's like, I've been there. Oh, let me guess you lost your friends in the desert
Starting point is 01:08:44 and nobody gives you shit. We've all been there. Yeah. Well, not Kelsey Grabber because he was, you were on cheers at that point, right? But yeah, you weren't with us in Nicaragua, man. You were on cheers at the time. But you were in a successful TV series.
Starting point is 01:08:58 Now, Kevin, what were you in that was successful? I was a glittery vampire in the Twilight movie. I was one of the main. It was glittery vampire number five. You can't pass the torch to nothing. Like, I know Scott Atkins was in the last movie as of number two or something. He's the number two to Van Dam.
Starting point is 01:09:19 Right. And he eats shit in the movie. But if you're making a movie about passing the torch, pass it to someone who's actually started in an action film. Yes. Which I know they're few and far between now. Right. I mean, also, what the fuck are you talking about pretending there's passing any torches? That whole notion is just garbage anyway. So like, remove it from these movies at all.
Starting point is 01:09:41 It's barely in the movie. Like, just don't even make him. It's barely in the movie. But of course, the fucking 10 minute bar scene at the end. We're going to see the kids not only get the expendables tattoos, but they're going to do karaoke, this, that, and the other thing. And they'll never be heard from again. Can you imagine you get a new job and you're like, I fucking love this job so much. I'm going to get a tattoo of the group on my arm. And then it's like, oh, what? I'm never going to be called for a job again with these people. Fuck that.
Starting point is 01:10:11 Is it because I spent my entire first week tied up in some basement? Oh, I guess so. Just hanging out with Mel Gibson yelling at me. Well, I mean, that's the Lord of the Rings folks did. All with the exception of John Reese Davies. That's right. He did not get the L-O-T-R tattoo. That's right.
Starting point is 01:10:27 because he wouldn't go to heaven that should have told you something right there exactly you should have known right there yep yep Vigo should have had him get kicked in the face by a horse what was that tattoo anyway was it like a big old hongking dragon or something on their back
Starting point is 01:10:42 everyone has a big smi they all went out got smowg on the backs oh you just took a week off it was a long time it's a painful tattoo So Ford is like, all right, you know, you're going to be trying them at the Hague with your new team.
Starting point is 01:11:03 You go get him. No killing now. This is an expendables movie. No death. Thank you very much. That's came down from the top brass PG-13. It's so funny this sequence. You kill anybody, Jack Valenti'll have my ass. Because you see. I'm wearing it. You see like Stallone's like aviation business that he owns or whatever. And maybe that's, a cover, but there's like this, this is the Ford car in the parking lot and it's like late at night, Stallone's got some go bag and he puts it in the car and then Ford is in the backseat and I'm like, one, how long was Harrison Ford waiting in this car? But then also he does the whole thing about like no killing and go get him, try him at the hague, blah, blah, blah, here's the war crimes folder, picture a bunch of dead kids, have a good night. And it's one of the funniest
Starting point is 01:11:51 most befuddling parts of the movie is Harrison Ford gets out of the car and literally just walks out of the movie like you see the establishing shot of where we are it's the middle of nowhere it's at night there's no other cars around this character literally walks off
Starting point is 01:12:06 into the desert mr ford really quick before you go one of my favorite sci-fi movies you were ever in that regarding Henry oh man when they erase his memory brain damage
Starting point is 01:12:19 yeah whatever device they use man it was great what about Sabrina she was an android you're like it was about you plow on an android i loved i loved annette bending as your alien translator regarding henry she was she was amazing in that picture oh man there was that crazy sci-fi movie what lies beneath where you may or may not have drowned your robot wife in a bathtub oh god who could forget morning glory oh you forgot morning glory
Starting point is 01:12:49 that's okay that's oh okay rachel macadams no okay that's okay that's okay that's okay American graffiti, you turned into that car, right? Like a transformer? You were, like, turning into a race car. Like, all those boys were really scared to, like, go to Vietnam or whatever. But then you were just there as a transformer? Yeah, cool as a cucumber, because you know you could just turn into a car, drive away. You can turn into a car.
Starting point is 01:13:16 Then Wolfman Jack's not giving you any trouble in that movie. No, yeah, the sun's going down. Why do you ask? So they go, well, when we get here, why don't we just steal a scene directly from Ronan real quick? Sure. You're cool. Everybody cool. Still. Well, look, hey, you got to take a break from just straight ripping Mission Impossible movies. Yes. Like just. Especially Mission Impossible three, oddly enough, because there's two parts in this movie that I was like, where have I seen this recently? Both of them are MI3. There's a part. The bridge for the Mel Gibson
Starting point is 01:13:50 breakout is the, yes, exactly. That's the bigger one. But then there's also the part where they're in the van. It's when they're breaking into the facility. I think when they start the toilet, the sewer thing. Yes, they go under the, like through the van into the sewer while the van is hovered over the manhole.
Starting point is 01:14:09 Someone who was writing this movie was just had fucking Mission Impossible 3 on that day. I mean, Tom Cruise has the team. I should have a team. He gets some new people occasionally. What's wrong with me having a couple? Yeah, I know Rhonda can't act, okay? Look, it's just nice to, you know,
Starting point is 01:14:25 include people okay cynthia wouldn't fucking return my calls but yeah it's the the scene in front of the hotel where we cause a disturbance and then we see everybody react with their guns and we're taking photos of them oh yes that's right because this is where yeah we're doing there's a little bit of like reconnaissance it's reconnaissance which like this is for a different movie yep kind of but like ronda walks out and like a sexy dress or whatever and like make some dudes turn so then it's like we can get pictures
Starting point is 01:14:54 And then, like, Victor Ortiz, like, fakes hitting her with a car or whatever, and they're like, oh, yeah, oh, that was a good performance there. And she's like, yeah, that was a little too close. I would have had to kick his half. You're just like, whatever you say. Yes, Luna. Yeah, get in the car. Luna, that's what it is. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:13 Thank you, Luna. And whatever. And then we, it is kind of amazing that we get back and like, well, what's the plan? Well, what we're going to do is we're going to get a bunch of guns and we're going to shoot everybody and then they're like what if we made an actual plan and they do and this is where like this is the third one of these
Starting point is 01:15:32 all right yeah no one number three and I mean absolutely no one in the theater or VOD or the divorced dads buying this on standard deaf DVD for $3 at Walmart oh man I ranted so much about that that I totally lost
Starting point is 01:15:48 it's all set up I remember I remember I remembered it because they have the line where she's like, yeah, that would be a good plan if this was 1985. And I'm like, we all, everybody watching this movie understands what the thesis of these films are, which is watch all these dudes that used to do stuff 30 years ago. Yes. Not do stuff now. Yeah. But it's just like, I don't need that kind of shit. It's like, this is the third one. If you have that joke in the first one, fine. But literally
Starting point is 01:16:21 everyone with eyes on this movie is in on the joke. Well, then, you know, you're alienating. You're divorced dads. Like, that's not fucking funny. Yeah. I was great 85. I'm great now. Yeah, they're trying to like give these characters
Starting point is 01:16:36 literally anything and they just can't do it. It's just a bit and do it. Like what they wind up doing is like insulting what people like about these movies. So it's like, you're making me hate these kids. And I wish for death upon them. Well, because that's another part of your audience is the people who hate fucking the young. They fucking hate them.
Starting point is 01:16:56 And it's just like, oh, man, I'm going to have to clean up after the kids again. Should have seen this coming. Instead of. That's the thesis of this. Why are you replacing all my expendables with people in their 20s and 30s? I was replaced the people. That Rhonda Rousey, she shouldn't be making jokes like that to Sylvester Stallone. She should be asking him out for a nice steak dinner and that let him pay, but then secretly pay for.
Starting point is 01:17:21 him because he doesn't have enough money because that bitch wanted alimony again. Oh, no. She wants to have sex with a helmet doing the weird demolition man style because she's young. Well, the funny thing is Glenn Powell totally hatches his plan. He's like, all right, I'm going to hack this fucking building
Starting point is 01:17:39 and you guys are going to go in there. Hack the building. Yeah, hack the building. Start with the building. Then you can move on to hack in the planet. But right now, we're going to hack the building. And it's like just, it's a crazy, like, smart extraction thing where it's like Glenn Powell's hacking all these door locks. So he's literally like forcing Mel Gibson to walk a certain way on the floor plan. They get him, they get him in the helicopter and they get out of there. And when things go tits up, it's because of Sylvester Stallone's character. But you danced over one very important part. Robert Davy.
Starting point is 01:18:13 Oh, right. This is his scene. Yes. Hey, here's another right wing flirt. Yeah, exactly. This guy's psychotic world-renowned psychotic flogger. Yeah, you got to check out his stuff. I used to watch. He's probably got some killer stuff on the Biden impeachment inquiry. I guarantee. I can't wait to see all that data. Oh, man, the dash cam monologues that he's been given about Biden and Hunter Biden's. Oh, my God. Right. Because he directed Hunter Biden's laptop the movie, right? He knows more about Hunter Biden's dick than I know about my own. I guarantee it. I guarantee it. Well,
Starting point is 01:18:46 if you look at the vein there, It's clearly a hundred vibe. He's now, this is because I feel like he's in this, again, you know, tickle the right wing, nutsack and whatever, but Rage Serbeja had better things to do. Right. Because this is, it's like, oh, the big dealer guy that, you know, Mel's character is meeting or whatever. I believe he's even mentioned to be Albanian. It's in Albanian.
Starting point is 01:19:09 He is. Right. Right. Yeah. Rage Serbeja was just fucking busy that day, I guess, because here's Davy doing this accent. Oh, but I mean, if. you're doing that, I think you even said this earlier, Eric, he's got to be the general in, in asmenistan. If you, if you're fucking waking up Robert Davy, he's at least a face that I
Starting point is 01:19:29 remember from things. And then maybe he has like two cool, two scenes. Maybe he tries to torture somebody and then he gets killed. That's right. I want to be clear on this. I don't want any more Robert Davy. I didn't want the first helping you gave me. I prefer not this. Chris. I just thought of another right wing flirt that would fit right in here. Dennis Miller. No, but that, but good thing. That would also work. John Woods. James.
Starting point is 01:19:52 James Woods. Oh, 100. Oh, man. I'm all up. I can't do first names today. And in char. In terms of.
Starting point is 01:19:59 James Woods, yes. Of star power. James Woods just blows Robert Dobby off the fucking board. Executive producer of Oppenheimer. Yes. Yes. It's amazing.
Starting point is 01:20:08 Was he really? Yes. He had some weird thing with the right. He'd be like, I think he got the American Perthian. Very early. Interesting. That's always the smart thing.
Starting point is 01:20:15 Like a fucking biography comes out. You buy that mother. fucker, then you make the money later. Now I'm weirdly winning an Oscar probably. Because you know he wasn't allowed anywhere near that. Oh, of course. That's, oh man. That might cost them the Oscar. To avoid having James Woods up on that stage at the end
Starting point is 01:20:36 of that night. They might actually fucking call it. Well, I was going to get up there and I was going to insanely pontificate, but they don't want me to be there anymore. That's their fucking problem. Why can't I record myself while I'm up there? Why can't I have the little camera in front of me while I make this speech. He would get up there and he would just do what Mel Gibson did when he was
Starting point is 01:20:54 pulled over. He would be the exact same speech. But yeah, so Robert Dobby has like three lines and like, we also. Gorin Wata, by the way, he is doing draculian accent. I would I'd buy him more of a dracula than a man of power.
Starting point is 01:21:10 The, we also missed Antonio Banderas shows up during the montage. During the montage, we first are introduced to, what, Pallip Silva. That's what he, that's this fake name. Galgo. Gallo is the real name.
Starting point is 01:21:26 And he's having a great time and he's good in this movie and he's fun in this movie. Because he's an actual actor. Yes. He knows. He actually, it's like he's has the one thing none of these dudes have, which is like, it's actually if you're like lower status in the scene, that creates tension and people
Starting point is 01:21:43 will like your performance. Like you know what I mean? Like, but wait, I got to be Mr. Alpha dick in every fucking see. If someone's lower status in a scene with me, how are we going to be wiggling, wagling dick? That's right. It's me. Also, Dolph Lundgren.
Starting point is 01:21:56 I shall also be alpha static. Yeah, that's right. I'll be alpha status as well. Yep. No one's going to kill me. Hi, I heard you're handing out alpha statuses. So we'll all be in the same scene. All of us, the exact same status, the exact same temperature, saying cool things.
Starting point is 01:22:12 That's right. Then none of us can die. So, yeah, it's lie and the other for me to participate in the movie. I'm registering alpha status for me, whiskey, Lulu, and Schnelli. That's right. And don't forget Jet Li, my other pets. Dude, what is going on?
Starting point is 01:22:29 This guy in a box somewhere. I don't know what is going on with that part. I like that part. I'd like press, I'd press to watch more, by the way. Oh, yeah. But, no, Bandaris as an actor, is like, I would be the funny one. I would be more of a clown for everyone.
Starting point is 01:22:44 Yes, exactly. And it works. It does. It actually, it's a brashire. of fresh air because he's energetic. He's more energetic than the young people in this movie. He's completely unconcerned with coming off as cool in this movie. And in a movie where literally 99% of the cast is obsessed with looking great and awesome and being the best. Yes. That's his philosophy on the character is exactly why he's the best part of the movie. You know, I was stationed in Benghazi. Oh, dude. And he do get that though. Hillary Clinton is the only real evil laugh. And yes, I used Ambassador Stevens as a
Starting point is 01:23:18 bullet shield. It sucks that they just explicitly just do it. They say, did Davy do a pass on this script? I want the fucking names. I wanted to just do it. As my good friend, Charlie Daniels once said,
Starting point is 01:23:33 Benghazi ain't going away. The devil went down to Benghazi. I was the only survivor. And how I did that is I took part in the raid. I killed the guy from the office
Starting point is 01:23:49 and then actually the other guy from the office. Dude, do you know, did everybody catch it? No, what? I don't know. I didn't see that. Do you know, no, no, no. In the Bengals, when he is admitting to the Benghazi, he names the guys he was in Bengazi with.
Starting point is 01:24:06 Oh, yeah. Did everybody? Oh, I know one of the, Mingo. One of his dudes is Mingo. Ningo. Ningo lost his life in Benghazi. That's terrible. Oh, no. Oh, wow. Hey, I and I got some terrible news. Mingo's dead.
Starting point is 01:24:22 So when I say, oh, Mingo, it's in his honor. And you can't even argue that it's just a coincidence because one of the things that they have been there's explicitly saying is that, like, oh, and the attack happened and help took so long. You're like right there. You're like, oh, I know what you're doing. Yeah, I was listening on the radio here
Starting point is 01:24:44 and you get all fucked up. I wasn't coming though. How was junkers? Ziski in there. Is he helping you out or what? I just, I gotta believe, I mean, I know that they wasted millions of dollars on a trial. We should have another one because that one will have
Starting point is 01:24:58 the real facts. You know what? The first one? Yeah, I get it. But the second one, the facts would definitely be there, man, smoking guns out the ass. That's right, because Ben Gassi ain't going away. I would love, like, Bend Arras is reading that, like reading the
Starting point is 01:25:14 script and just look somebody's like, you guys have a real problem him with that for some reason. How are you so hung up on the Benghazi? It's funny that Benghazi never went away, but you know who did? Charlie Daniels. Oh, the devil finally took that guy with him, dude.
Starting point is 01:25:29 He's playing a flute or whatever the fuck. But a flute? Fiddled? A fiddle. I honest, this is the season of my cognitive decline. Speaking of sundown, dude. I've got a lot going on and it ain't good. We got to start recording more during the day, dude.
Starting point is 01:25:44 After 3 p.m., you're fucking toast. Dude, it's done. They put, they put Gibson in a van, and this is when he really starts monologing. Right. I would say too much. Oh, would you now? And it's just like about the nature of evil and blah, blah, blah. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 01:25:59 How many people did you kill today, James? Oh, sorry, I was watching Gold that I was, right? How do people did you kill today, Barney? Well, this is, I feel like this is also why, I feel like he kind of, Mel Gibson got in his head that, like, he was going to make a statement with this. Sure. I think that's why he's also doing that art scene rather than just being like, here, execute some guy that Stallone knows or something
Starting point is 01:26:23 to actually get you. Because it is for all of this shit, every monologue he has from here on out, sounds like it was lifted from some letter that he sent to all these people he felt jilted by after the call came out. Like the AMPAS guys, like all these fucking letters that he's like,
Starting point is 01:26:43 I have these, I'm going to send them. And his marriage was like, absolutely not. I have S. Craig Zaller on the phone. He's going to give you a picture. Come on. Don't do this to me. Dude, he's like, he's saying all that shit about like, you know, how many guys have you lost over the year, Barney? This, that, the other thing. And he's like, oh, now I see you got these new kids here. They're the deletables. And I'm like, will you please give it a rest? He says the term meat chest. Oh, I would know, meat shirt. I'll open your meat shirt and take your heart out and shit. know it to you, yeah. Your meat shirt.
Starting point is 01:27:17 Your meat shirt. I mean, I guess if you've killed like hundreds of people, everyone's wearing meat shirts and meat pants. Yeah, that's true. I got to go meat shirt shopping. This is a meat knit hat, you know? Yeah. I poop out of my meat pants.
Starting point is 01:27:35 Would you wear, no, seriously, would you wear another human's flesh like in pants or a shirt or otherwise? This sounds like you're saying yes and you just want to see if one of us is with you. Here's, here's the one time I would do. Oh, here we go. The one time. All right. I have been kidnapped by the Sawyer family in rural Texas, the Texas chain. That's short. Happens more than you think. And I realize that like they're having a big like weirdo party that night where they'll all be wearing skin suits. Got it. Sure. In order to facilitate my potential escape from the evil house, I would don a meat suit to get out. I mean, you don't want to look like an asshole. I want to be on theme to a party
Starting point is 01:28:16 Yes, if you go to a white party You're not going to wear a red paint Now, no, faux pa for wearing a leather face You know, like wearing a human face Or is that That's taken Yes, I know, that's your take you. You walk out of the dressing room
Starting point is 01:28:28 And you've got the whole meat suit on But then you also got the mask on And they're all looking like, what the fuck? What the? You know, that's leather's thing. We don't do that. I'm wearing an old man's chest as a vest But leather is the only one that wears the mask.
Starting point is 01:28:42 You stole his whole fucking flow. you did it right in front of him great now he's crying why couldn't you just take a tongue and turn it into a tie tongue tie oh yeah good Colombian necktie dude that'd be nice but something something it's a GPS tracker time to rip off Mission
Starting point is 01:29:02 Impossible 3 I didn't even think about looking on his person for something exactly Glenn Powell Glenn Powell plans and executes this fucking extraction to get him Ronda Rousey fucking zaps them in the face with a stun gun, which is great. All the kids do it perfectly.
Starting point is 01:29:19 And then it's like, oh, man, what's that beeping sound? Is the toast done? Uh-oh, GPS tracker. I always smell birded toast for all sorts of reasons. And wouldn't you know it? Here's a helicopter that fucking launches a missile at this van, and it flips over on a bridge. How dare you?
Starting point is 01:29:37 Yep, yep. And what do you know it? The force of the explosion sends, what's his name, Barney Rubble? Barney Ross. Barney Ross. Might as well be Barney Rupple. It's just as a deli. Barty Frank.
Starting point is 01:29:49 Barty Frank goes flying into the river, nipples protruding, very disrespectful. Yeah. And I mean, and then Stallone, obviously, God on Earth. Sure. Walks out of the water, instantly kills a bunch of guys.
Starting point is 01:30:03 Judy does the gunslinger. I'm hitting the hammer. It's kind of cool. I always wanted to do that to a couple guys. One of my favorite parts of this movie, I think it's happening kind of around. now, which is the other expendables who've been fired, all trying to
Starting point is 01:30:18 like, I guess like the idea of like they need male friendships, but don't know how to, like, Randy Couture at this bar, watching this Cialis commercial across the way of these dudes like cheering or whatever. Like, dude, just join a fucking fantasy
Starting point is 01:30:33 football league. You don't need to murder anybody. But do that, Randy Couture here, can you kill people in a fantasy football? Yeah, exactly. Because that's what makes me want to live life is the murder of other people. There is Wesley's doing a castaway riff
Starting point is 01:30:49 where he's definitely sleeping on the floor he's got a shitty motel and he's not in the bed because they just leave them right? Like Barney Rubble or whatever his name is gets on a plane and goes back home. They're fired. They show up at the... I don't want to hurt my friends. Voldemort's going to
Starting point is 01:31:05 get him. If I let them come with me Voldemort's going to get him. They show up at the tarmac or whatever like when the mission's going to go and it's kind like that's later that's that when they when when he goes back no it's but no no no it's before the kids get kidnapped it's before they even go oh right they're getting ready to go out and all the all the old timers show up and they're just like like little puppy dogs is like can we please go on the mission and there's like some dick waggling here between like the the old and the young
Starting point is 01:31:36 but then like Stallone literally just leaves them there at that point and yeah then we do get this I'm trying to think oh uh Lloyd Christmas or whatever Mr. Christmas. Lee Christmas. He's watching TV and like he gets so mad. I'm going to throw my knife at the TV. That's how upset I am. Yeah. I don't even know what
Starting point is 01:31:56 Dolph Lundgren's doing. Just sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber, I guess. Hey, do you know this guy has a PhD? Fucking weird, man. This guy is just, Dolph, he's not in the movie. He's just not in the movie. He's just not in the movie. He has a sore loser t-shirt. That's the most
Starting point is 01:32:13 that's the one thing I remember about his character It'd be cool if he died in a heroic blaze of gunfire then You know what I mean? Like it just That would be something. Anything would be something. But so now, yeah, Barney goes back to America and then Harrison Ford's like Man, why do I keep hiring you?
Starting point is 01:32:31 I mean, I'm the CIA. Don't you think I got better resources than this? Guess not. I got a kill another president tomorrow. Let me ask you something. The mosquito coast, those things, they're aliens. Those are a pretty big scary machine. They were like eight feet tall.
Starting point is 01:32:47 Did you watch the movie? No, he was you. You were from Buenos Aires and the bugs were attacking. I thought it was one of the greatest heroic performances I've ever seen. I mean, you're supposed to be on his side the whole time. I agree with you. I think he's a good, smart guy. I also love the conversation where you were a guy briefly in there,
Starting point is 01:33:09 but that movie's about listening to the robots talk. Yeah, all these robots, man. You're catching them on an answering machine tape or something. And then you're working for Robert Duvall in that movie, and I'm pretty sure he was a robot, too. I really loved your movie. I believe it was clear in present
Starting point is 01:33:27 danger, wherein Ireland in a sci-fi future tears itself apart. That is, I mean, wow. And I also loved that other movie, Patriot games about the drug cartels. It was phenomenal. of those movies, your wife, who was
Starting point is 01:33:45 maybe an alien, is giving you shit about having a dangerous job. Oh, my God. What is it to be married to Anne Archer? Is it nice to you go home, have a Colista who? Is she an alien in real life? All redheads are aliens, right?
Starting point is 01:34:01 That's what I assume. Coole of the Madman lady? The idea of Ireland against Ireland kept me up at night. It was post-apocalypse. They had laser guns. Can you imagine if Ireland was ripped apart like that in real life? That would be so fucked up.
Starting point is 01:34:18 Or even existed at all. Whoa. So, yeah, now it's like, I'm going to go back alone. I'm going to get them all alone because I told my oldest friends to go fuck themselves. And you're like, all right. And then as he's like getting ready to do this, loading up his ear. He's in the cockpit singing, my friend you share you, they can't kill anybody. But they want to now.
Starting point is 01:34:46 And this is... Excellent. Can't wait for your album. This is where Banderas comes back and he's like, do you have no one here? I am the only real expendable left. He's basically playing
Starting point is 01:35:03 a human version of the fucking cat. He is. And I just having watched Puss and Boots 2 recently, I was like, yeah, this is the same thing. Because I think what it is, is this is just what it sounds like when Antonio Banderas acts with like energy and enthusiasm, little goofiness. And that's a great point. Were it not for the accent, Sylvester Stallone, best pick for live action Shrek. Oh, definitely. You get rid of the accent.
Starting point is 01:35:32 Sure. You want somebody to sound like an actual honest to God ogre. Stallone's your man. He's got the voice for it. Could you get him in the makeup and everything and then just have Mike Myers dub it? Maybe. And it's like, you know, physical performance by Sylvester Stallone voiced by Mike Myers. Hey, you know, mesh the thing. Hey, Toll House. Or whatever. I love your cookies.
Starting point is 01:35:56 By the way, just stopping some tweets. We did mix up cleared and present danger and Patriot games. I was trying to make a joke of that. It's the other way. That's right. The IRA is in Patriot games and the Colombian is the clearing. We're mixing up a lot of stuff. It's okay.
Starting point is 01:36:10 Folks at home, this is not a thing that you should be learning. from. Harrison, you know it's crazy man? I saw a movie you did one time. Zero aliens in it. Dude, that Indiana Jones in the kingdom of the crystal skull, not a single alien among him. There's the first one, huh? Jesus, heaven. Christ, this guy. God damn it. Colista really needed the new fucking pool this summer. I got a new goddamn expendables three. You know, you get stoned and tricked by David Blaine and now all of a sudden you're at the expendables three. That is one of the best clips in the fucking
Starting point is 01:36:45 get the fuck out of my house. He's really impressed with it. He's so stoned in that fucking scene. It's, oh my God. Like, they, they just took down a ton of just some really just the stickiest, Icky dude.
Starting point is 01:36:58 And it's like, why don't I show you a magic trick? Jesus fucking Christ, he just bent that fucking quarter. Colester call the police. We got to kill a wizard in the house. I can't imagine. Rob Schneider stuck with this guy
Starting point is 01:37:12 through all of Judge Dread. I would have left God I'm going to call Robb when I get home Oh my God Speaking of flirt with the right Um Speaking of Judge Dred We got a call back to that at the end
Starting point is 01:37:24 We do We got a call back to so many So like whatever Long story short Things blow up But well Banderas like Excellent For like 10 minutes
Starting point is 01:37:32 While he's fixing the plane Tells him this whole story Which he does involve bingo Yeah Which is apparently the story of Bengazi And just when he's about The real stories dude Just about when he's about to fly out
Starting point is 01:37:43 these pathetic losers come back again and they're like, oh, yeah, this time it's more heroic. It's like, heard you need some help, but it's like, you know, whatever. Dude, Christmas is like, we're the only ones crazy enough to come help you out with this miss.
Starting point is 01:38:02 That's how it went, right? closing that well sounded like the call to prayer holy shit that was the friend's theme song right all right good I was like trying to get the pitch
Starting point is 01:38:22 and it was correct so let's just alone sings sings theme songs such as the friend's song or bao do bab bao da
Starting point is 01:38:32 do da do da do da da da da do da be bab bit da ba da bhae ha hap do Big Band of Paperboy E.B.T.B.T.B.
Starting point is 01:38:44 you're going to go right to dae dae dae yeah everybody
Starting point is 01:38:52 da da da da yeah bo pooh yeah it's the theme song to E.
Starting point is 01:38:58 Bo Bap to stand tall on a wave everybody
Starting point is 01:39:06 wants to be glad with me because is burning Because you're saying Again
Starting point is 01:39:16 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, da, Dan, da, da, da, da, da. Dude, I am pressing, I'm calling up this number And I'm getting that CD. Time Life presents. I would 100% buy this on the two compact disc set that you're getting for it, absolutely. You could buy the five disc box set that he recorded.
Starting point is 01:39:40 Roadit, row, rody, rody, keep them, dummy, me, but hey. Because she is dead. He's paid me. She's a baby changes. Doing the lyrics for that
Starting point is 01:39:57 one, which is great. Featuring Dana Kovie. I'm doing the singing the theme song to Saturday night line. Musical guess.
Starting point is 01:40:06 Me. But yeah, so they go. and I mean this is when the wheels fall off the movie essentially like because this whole what should be the grand climax of this movie is a big wet fart because we go to as Manistan which you've said as a fake place and this also we're just doing it's command don't yeah because we're doing oh excellent
Starting point is 01:40:28 we're doing commando because it's a faceless army that gets easily dispatched over a series of this is like 30 minutes of nonsense Arnold did you catch Arnold's quick commando ref no I don't think I did Stallone says something at the end of the movie like, oh, I thought you were getting out of this man or whatever. And he goes, I lied.
Starting point is 01:40:51 Which is the, remember when I said that I was going to cue you last? I lied. Yeah, no, I did. Because also, by the way, a drummer and trench bring along Jet Lee because they're going to be the backup and, you know, they're going to be the fun. Right. So you actually have Harrison Ford flying a helicopter. Not actually.
Starting point is 01:41:11 flying a helicopter and he's all dressed up in a flight suit and he's like, whoa, I'm having fun. Which is hilarious because I completely misremembered this part as Kelsey Gramer flying the helicopter. Yeah, that would make sense. I mean, there's no fewer than 13 to 14 good guys at this point. Yeah, it's really tough to keep track of it all. But you do need Jet Lee in there because he's known for firing guns. Exactly. Like, firing guns all the way. That's what he's good at. I can't get this I do it a fucking spin kick. Like that's what I want. Just drop him down a vent in one of these buildings and you can go kill everyone.
Starting point is 01:41:45 Yeah. Like they at least know enough in that last movie to have J.CVD do a split. Yes. And like he does the things you expect JCVD to do in these movies. You cannot I mean, you cannot compare it. Simon West, the man made Conair for Christ. Wow. You're right. Patrick Hughes
Starting point is 01:42:04 made garbage and shit and garbage. Oh, I saw that. And it's a beautiful trilogy. Because it's now, it's literally just CG. It's kind of hilarious. They're all tied up in a build. All the young kids are tied up in a building. Which is a burned out casino, by the way. So we're really switching it up.
Starting point is 01:42:21 So they rescue the kids. Mel Gibson's like, you fell into my trap. That's going to explode in 45 seconds. You know. Glenn Powell, why don't you touch this computer for 30 seconds? And then it will turn off. And the greatest thing is like, oh, wow. Now I just bought us 45 minutes.
Starting point is 01:42:37 first things first get out of that building like you know what I mean like you just let's go to let's have the fight in the next building over exactly there's listen we're in a fake ex-soviet block country there's plenty of burned out shit we can have shootouts yeah just people leave the building and then go back into it I'm like no no no no no everyone out of the building this it gets so boring around here honestly and you'd think that shooting shift forever would be interesting but that PG-13 rating devolves it into nothingness The body count is really high I think it's like 300 people die in this movie
Starting point is 01:43:12 but you could not give a shit No it doesn't matter if I don't see Like some kind of reaction Like I have not just they stop moving Like that just it doesn't do the same thing Yeah yeah I miss you're off for me you friends Wages around the band
Starting point is 01:43:37 Du-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dun's family. Fuck, I forgot how the step-by-step song goes. Hey, Gabber. Green Acres is the place to be. From live it is life for me. spreading so far why keep it ahead and give me an eye got you said
Starting point is 01:44:12 I would again buy both of those CDs in the set absolutely now that no one's listening now we can just keep doing this yes we can keep going la la la la la here it's
Starting point is 01:44:32 instrument where I do all the Star Trek team zone come on doing the show perky, me, so first man. Bida, da da da da da da da. That was a cartoon. Not just a movie. I liked a movie, too. Yeah, but these were, this cartoon was about
Starting point is 01:44:49 the real guys. Not the fake guys from that movie, man. The cartoon was a real story. And I mean, might as well keep talking because everyone's just getting shot in the head. Literally nothing. Kill him kills the general. Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of something like Mel Gibson gets pissed. He's like,
Starting point is 01:45:04 how do you not kill these guys? And he starts shooting people at his command center. It's like, oh, here he is in the last like 25 minutes of this movie truly doing a villainous act on the screen. And it's kind of great. It's very jarring because nothing exciting has really happened
Starting point is 01:45:20 in the movie for a while. And it's just that like, oh, oh, is this how you kill a guy? Bam. Oh, baby, this is how you do it. And you're like, oh, all right, that's something. An international arms dealer commanding a foreign army is an interesting concept. That that's all you get of it is that moment.
Starting point is 01:45:36 And then, you know what he does? He drives right into a building that's about to fucking blow up. He's like, I'll do it myself. And why don't you meet him outside? Come on, coward, let's fight outside of that. That building's an explode. We'll fight, you know, just in the next one over. Like, this is an abandoned casino.
Starting point is 01:45:54 We're going to fight over in the abandoned hotel. Like, that's exactly what we're going to do. And then, I mean, the big, it's Gibson versus Stallone in the, like, pool area of this. I don't even know where this is in the building. a fight that has a beginning, a middle and an end. I could see what's happening as opposed to just like people headshotting each other. Although
Starting point is 01:46:14 you know, like in his Mel Gibson in his head must have been like you're going to be beat up by Sylvester Stallone. You're going to get killed by Sylvester Stallone. Pissed him off. You got to keep it. You're making Haxaw Rich. You're making it. Just keep it in your brain. You're going to make that movie.
Starting point is 01:46:30 They're going to accept you again and they did. Oh yeah. That and he were nominated hardcore. so sorry sugar tits and jews everywhere. That's nice. I like that. I forgot about Haxall Ridge. Arnold twice in this movie, and this is how you know, it's an abysmal script with an editor who needed to be reined in. Twice in this movie, does he do a get-to-the-chopper reference? It's insane that they do that twice.
Starting point is 01:46:55 The first time is polite laughter. Oh, he did the thing. The second time is like, dude, get me the fuck out of here. Especially because in the last movie, he definitely has the, I told you, I'd to be back. And it's like at this point, again, we're all seasoned viewers of this franchise watching it. Like, we get it. And it's kind of better if Trench is just a character in this movie and not an Arnold meme. Yes.
Starting point is 01:47:18 Yeah. But it's all memes. Like, it's memes all the way down. Like, even the, I think if you really want to do it, if you could go through this whole movie and figure out every single major scene and set piece is lifted directly from another movie. Not necessarily better, but some other. movie and like this end scene where Barney. Probably better though. Probably. Probably. Kind of have to be better.
Starting point is 01:47:43 I mean, probably. But like this last scene and this is definitely a better movie that we were just talking about. When Harrison Ford is at the top and they're all getting into the helicopter everybody has found their way to the top of this building that's about to explode. Oh yeah. Rather than somewhere else. But whatever. Whatever do what you want. So they all get on it and like they're like Harrison Ford, you have to wait for fucking Barrow. Bernie. This is literally how Harrison Ford escapes the Colombians in clear and present danger. Oh shit. The drunk pilot was like, I got to go. I got to go. And he's like, no, he's down there. He's down there. Oh, wow. I forgot that. And it's the exact same thing.
Starting point is 01:48:22 To that I'll just say, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Love and married. Love and marry. Burn are in order. Oh, man. And yeah, they just, they have this fight and it's like, you know, we got to do the throw the guns down. We're just going to fight each other. And then Stallone just fucking shoots the shit out of him.
Starting point is 01:48:54 Well, to be fair, he's like, Bill Gibson asked a very pointed question. Because he's like, what about the Hague? Uh-uh. Oh, sure. I am the Hague. Oh, yes. That got a laugh from that you last.
Starting point is 01:49:06 Got a big laugh out of me. That is just stupid. I kind of like this fight and that ending to it. I know it's really tongue-in-cheek, but at least it's not referencing and get to the chopper twice. You're right. It's specific. It looks like something.
Starting point is 01:49:20 Yes. I could, and it's actually like something like the 14-year-old boy in me wanted to see stars. Cool. Stallone versus Mel Gibson fighting each other. Like, pinging that off even a little bit. And in a way that Matt, that is actually
Starting point is 01:49:36 conceivable is actually interesting. Yep. No, totally. Why, Barney, why did you kill? Why did you kill Stonebanks? They're going to keep the devil's way down in the home. I'm learning I really don't know many themes like. Watch the wire. It's fantastic. So that's pretty much it. We're back at Rusties.
Starting point is 01:50:01 All the kids got the tattoos for a job they're never going to have again, which is fantastic. We've made up, everybody's just happy to be there. There's a little bit of a Christmas and Doc pissing contest with throwing knives out of dark. Welcome back to the movie, Wesley Snipes.
Starting point is 01:50:17 Seriously. This is like 15 minutes. It's a long grab-ass sequence. It really is. We're pad and shit, man. Because we have to like make everything back to the way it was like at the start of the movie. We got to make sure that,
Starting point is 01:50:30 oh, hey, you cool me? Hey, Toll Road, you cool, man. Oh, Dov Nunger, you cool, me? Like, everybody's got to be cool. You know, sorry, I'm sorry, there was three pages of script that we threw in the garbage.
Starting point is 01:50:41 You had a lot of stuff to do, but, uh, now did everybody get to go around the corpse and sniff in the essence after he stabbed them a bunch of times? There should have been more pages thrown out. This movie's two hours and six minutes or something. It's a lot longer than Star Wars. 90 minutes flat,
Starting point is 01:50:59 maybe. Even with it being so dull and just like the buildings just fall. part an ass man a stand at the end and it's just stupid and boring yeah 90 minutes flat in and out I might have fucking had a good time yeah yeah it's a total slog it is the longest of these so far I don't have the runtime on the fourth one just yet oh and by the way hail caesar totally alive and back at the bar so that's glad he pulled out of that coma it's amazing because they're all like to caesar like kind of like and then he's just like yeah to me I'm like get the fuck out of the
Starting point is 01:51:28 movie dude yeah oh and don't worry he gives he gives uh Stallone the fucking ring back The worst part of this whole thing Because there's like There's a couple The kids are talking for a bit There's two worst parts One Ronda Rousey Because I'm still like
Starting point is 01:51:43 You know If you were 30 years younger Of course Yeah yeah yeah He's like I'd be scared of you Hey Hey My penis doesn't work
Starting point is 01:51:52 I don't know I just say It's just it hasn't been working for a while It literally can't That's one muscle That's attribute I guarantee you Those testicles are fucking
Starting point is 01:52:02 Long gone Microscopy They retired to Florida before he did. And Kellen Lutz, who I could not pick out of a fucking lineup. Goes up to Stallone as like, so when do I get to lead this outfit? I'm like, who are you? Totally, man. It is just abysmal.
Starting point is 01:52:22 I always hate that like we're making you the neck. Because I think that happens all. Well, they sort of do it with that Hemsworth character, but then the dude winds up getting murdered. So it's fine because the movie has stakes there. But there is a similar, like, at the start of part two, where it's like, yeah, it's the new kid, man. You got to watch out the new kid on the blog. He's going to have my job someday. But you're not going to call them the expendable, the new guibles.
Starting point is 01:52:45 Like, that's all it's going to, it's replenishable. Yes, there you go. The fucking recyclables, dude. Absolutely. That's the end of this very disappointing movie. Go around the horn here for final thoughts. Eric Siska. Yeah, it's not a recommend.
Starting point is 01:52:59 It is the worst of these. and I kind of I'm fine with those first two. It's just the PG-13, you feel it hard. Yeah. This plot is stupid. It's just, it's paper thin and just having these kids and doing nothing with the, it's unfurred the fuck this movie. There you go.
Starting point is 01:53:18 Chris Cabin. Yeah, generally speaking, fuck this movie. I, I don't see much to like here other than having Wesley Snipes Mill Gibson and Antonio Banderas show off some star wattage, like really be able to do it. still. Like, that's nice to know. But other than that, I don't see anything worthwhile here. I mean, it's Patrick fucking Hughes, guys. I mean, like, if you've
Starting point is 01:53:39 seen the hit man's bodyguard, that is such a better movie than this, and that is a horrible movie. I saw about an hour of it, and I turned it off. I will say I am excited for the fourth one, because I'm a sucker. Right. I mean, you know, I'll just say it's the worst of these so far.
Starting point is 01:53:55 See it only if you're a real head and you haven't checked it out yet. But just keep in mind, For no reason, it's two hours and six minutes of your time. Before, I do have to say something about this fourth one, though. The trailer I saw, it opens, they're doing like the Domino's thing. Like, the opening thing was like, I need my expense. It's like a quote from a tweeter, like someone who tweeted out like, I need blood and guts in my expandable movie.
Starting point is 01:54:23 And it's like, we heard you. Oh, we're going to get. We're sorry. The recipe is better now. Yeah. Oh, here's expansion. for insurance if you do not care for the movie or if you spill your movie on the floor
Starting point is 01:54:37 on the way to the parking lot and by the way I'm loving it. Oh, wrong one. Oh, sorry. According to IMDB, the new movie is going to be an hour and 43 minutes. And it's rated art. You know, they did listen. They did listen to us, gang. Yeah, no. It's a no. It's a big no for me
Starting point is 01:54:54 and all the things we just said. I think it's oh, the kids singing Neil Young. That's the last in dignity in this movie. And again, like, it's just setting up stuff that's never going to happen. Didn't that, um, die hard? Did they set up his son to be, did they set him up to be like, and maybe you'll be the new one junior?
Starting point is 01:55:13 I don't remember if that's the case with the young McLean boy. Because, I mean, here's the thing. Pop culture died about 20 years ago and we're just fucking circling the drain. Your skull fucking the corpse, dude. And that's what this is. And every, that's the funny part. It's like every time the ironic part is like, every, like,
Starting point is 01:55:30 look at Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skulls. Like, we know we're going to pass the torch because prop culture will move forward. No, it's never going to move forward. We want the same old fucks to get older and older and older and watch them do it. And then when they finally die,
Starting point is 01:55:45 we'll recast them. Right, which we will do on this show. Eventually, yes. We'll be recasted when we die. That is going to do it for this episode on the Abysmal Expendables 3. If you are catching this on the ad-free feed, that is the $8 and up tiers on our Patreon.
