This week on the program, let's get a little taste of that sweet, sweet honey.
It's the Bay Keeper.
I'm Andrew Dupin.
Steven Zaidan.
Eric Keeper.
Chris Cabin.
And we hate movies.
Hello, everyone, welcome to the fine program known as We Hate Movies.
Thank you for tuning in, as always.
If you're new, because you are either a beekeeper, officianto, or Jason Statham, officianto.
This is a comedy show where you take a movie Good Bad or Otherwise, and kick it around for a little bit,
And yes, last year's David Ayer action piece here, the beekeeper.
Kurt Wimper.
It's a Kurt Vimmer.
It's a Kurt Vimmer production, please.
It's on paper, it's like, I should hate this.
Yes.
But I love this.
I know you do.
These lads got one through.
I did.
I mean, it's my favorite David Air movie by far.
Yes.
Yeah.
I don't know what the other one's, uh, suicide squad.
Suicide squad, that fake cut of suicide squad that doesn't exist.
No.
That tank movie.
Furry.
Ferry.
Ferry.
Furry.
A bird is a bird.
It's furry.
I would prefer.
This is our fourth dance with Mr. Ayer.
We did sabotage.
Oh, right.
We did Bright.
Yeah.
Suicide squad, the original one of the bad one.
I mean, yeah, oh, oh, by, yeah, by default.
This has to be his best movie.
Are you kidding me?
The two sweetest words in the English language.
He also did those, like, early nine, not early in his career, those like early
early aughts, like, L.A. gang movies, like, end of watch.
Brooklyn's fight.
Is he Brooklyn?
Oh, end of one.
Street Kings, he is, he's not
Street Kings with
Keanu and Hugh Lory.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've seen more David A.R. movies that I was aware of.
End of watch is the big one.
End of watch is what got him like a lot of attention.
People say that's a good movie. I've never seen it.
Watch it. I mean, this is the one
to emulate. Like, if you become a beekeeper,
you could maybe even kill the president or almost.
You're allowed to, it seems like.
It seems like in your contract,
you are at the end of the day allowed to kill the president
if you see,
Yeah, I'm like, if it will, if it will course correct the status of the hive, yes.
I'm like the spy, Stratigo piece.
I'm the only one that can kill the number one.
Oh, my God, I should say we're going to have to flee the country.
We say kill the president again because we don't, we're not going to do that.
Well, actually, no, Eric, that's disgusting.
And I can't sanction whatever Eric just said.
Oh, so you're not going to go on tour with us to, or with, I guess I can't go now because I said something.
Yeah.
The Oxford Comedy Festival.
That's right.
We are having a six-show residency in England.
Yes, England.
Wow.
So come on out.
We're doing animation damnation.
We're doing a Quantum of Solace episode.
A Gleap Glossary Live, Hellraiser, WLM, a Nexus episode, an episode on King Ralph.
There's a ton of live shows July 18th, 19th, and 20th.
Tickets are on sale now, and you can find more information at wh HMpodcast.com.
It's a residency.
And if you wind up, if you're in Oxford and, you know, because we're going to be there for almost a whole week,
if you see me standing outside of a place
it's because I don't know how to enter through the door
so just help me out
because I don't know your door.
He doesn't see centers.
The core of a door is not in his work.
It could be a latch guy.
I don't know.
The problem with Steve is because he walks around everywhere
just looking at his shoes the whole time
so you can never see the middle of the door.
It's only what are supposed to be in the lower third?
His nose bridge is too wide, you see.
So therefore the center does not factor into his vision.
Just remember every ignorant thing I've said about the UK
throughout my life.
He meant 100%.
Oh, no, no, no.
It was a very smart, satirical kind of humor.
I see. Uh-huh.
It was like a Colbert report, but worse.
Exactly.
Okay.
What I love about this, I mean, I love everything about this movie.
Literally top-to-the-new Miramax logo?
I do love it.
Dude, why do we bring it that?
That soars like the Superman credits.
Dude, here's the thing about the, I appreciate that we redid the Miramax logo because,
yes, the catalog was sold to this, like, finance group or whatever.
whatever. And here's the thing. And I don't know if people like understand this or not.
So I want to get this out here. Okay. Nowadays when you see the Miramax logo pop up like in a
theater like this, because this happened to me when I saw the beekeeper. If you're booing
because you don't like the Weinstein's and the new thing comes up, you're just an idiot.
They have nothing to do with it anymore. No, it's named after their pen. But mirror and Max are
fucking both long, long dead. I know. But when I see it, I'm like, oh, sex offender, mommy
Well, no, you should be seeing when you see the TWC logo.
That's when you should be.
They burn that to the ground at least, right?
That's gone.
You should like, Miramax, it's a, it's a cursed product.
Obviously, they put out great movies, et cetera.
They just changed the name to just like, hey, remember good 90s movies?
Hey, remember good 90s movies?
Funny enough, I mean, this would have been a fucking primo 90s action.
Yes, you know what I mean?
It has that vibe to it.
It starts actually with, I would say early aughts just because it's got the credits.
A, it's got a full credit sequence, which I love.
Very B's through the ages like Catwoman.
It made me feel like at some point he was going to turn into a B or have B powers.
Oh, fuck yet.
Dude, if it's like the end of the movie, like all the action has happened and it's just a Jason State the movie at the end, he's like, oh, oh, something in me tummy, oh, oh, oh, oh, and then like a stinger starts coming out of his ass and it's like a body horror movie.
Yes, his butt grows and it stripes.
He starts sounding like Jerry Seinfeldt.
But this goes against your whole idea, Eric, that his penis is his stinger.
You can't grow a stinger if he already has a stinger.
I didn't say that back this up.
I never said that at all.
You said this right before we started.
Oh, but there's no recorded evidence.
Damn, I was sitting here.
There you go.
So, there you go.
It's over.
Oh, wait.
I'm in trouble.
He jumps off a building like, well, that's the end of that.
And you just see him fly by like, dude.
He has B wings.
B wings.
Yeah, I've always had B wings.
I'm into wings. Wings I can do.
This wretched FBI character
who this person should be banned from acting
is just like letting him go
at the end of the movie and he's like, all right,
got to fly. And he just buzzes out the window.
That would be fine. I can get it.
I can get to that. It goes right
into a giant bug zapper.
Well, that, no, but you know what?
What we should have is at the end of it,
he should pair up.
This should be a crossover event. We should have
Emily Blunt from Wild Mountain Time.
Okay, yes.
Isn't D to B at the end of the movie?
No, no, no.
Is that the other guy who's a B?
Yeah, it's the guy from...
But isn't she going to be a B2 at the end of it?
Hold on a second. Did I miss a movie where people turn into bees?
I guess we both did.
Yes, you did.
What the fuck?
50 shades of grain. Wild Mountain time.
Oh, James Dornan.
James Dornan.
50 shades of honey.
The whole movie, it's like, it's like, Emily Blonde is like,
let's have sex.
Come on. I'm right here.
And he's like, I can't because of reasons.
And you don't know what the reasons are.
At the end of the movie, you will understand
and this man believes himself to be a bee.
Yes.
Right.
And that's it.
That's it.
You know what?
Honestly, not a good enough reason to not sleep with Emily Blunt.
I don't know what you're fucking talking about.
Yeah, shoot your honey inside of me.
I mean, yeah, Jerry Seinfeld was going to do it.
I mean, come on now.
Like, Jesus.
Oh, if I'm just a little bee, that would make ye a giant woman, wouldn't it?
Oh, wait, climb up on ye.
Actually, no, this is sequel, Terry.
You get, Jamie Dornan is still a bee, and the beekeeper has to get him.
Yes.
So he has to go find the bee who is craze.
You know who he has to team up with, dude, Mark Wahlberg from that Shamelon movie
because he's finding out what happened to the bees too.
Absolutely.
Yeah, you could get him.
When is that goddamn him being bald in the plane movie coming out?
January.
It's a next week I think.
It's got January written all over directed by Mel Gibson.
Oh, right.
I forgot about that.
Dude, but the skullet that he's apparently rocking in this movie.
I do want to see him.
Or at least the horseshoe.
He's got a piece, and then they take off.
At one point, the piece gets loose.
Dude, the bees
gets a dramatic ripping.
It must be, because at first you see him with the thing
and he's like, fine.
And then he's got the bolt spot and you're like, oh, man.
Fuck, I'm so excited for this stupid.
See, it's like bee keeping throughout the ages.
This bee could do that.
That bee can do this.
Sure.
We're getting all these bee factors.
Protecting the hive and whatnot.
Did you know that Egyptian bees built pyramids?
Oh, so that's how it happened.
It wasn't anything to do with anything bad.
No, no, no.
But Statham is Adam Clay.
great fucking name and he is
just a humble man
keeping bees on Felicia Rashad's
farm for some reason. I love this
movie, I got to say. I feel like
Arnold could have done this in the late 80s
because this. You can see Sly doing this too.
Yeah, it's got the comedy balance
really well. I'm going to
now because this, it cares too much about an environment.
No, they would not be going
it's all industry and guns at that point.
They're still into that shit. They're not environmental
people. I'm the gun keeper.
There you go. There you go. It has
been a while since I'd fuck with Statham
Statham. The only
the only things that I've seen of his in the last literally
20 years are those bad expectable movies
whenever we do with them. You didn't see Ratham,
the one I like. I don't have it.
My wife is out of town tonight. Maybe it's Ratham Man
Night. There you go. This is better. I think
Ratham man's better. This is my favorite
Jason Statham movie. I know. You really
love this one. This one
it's definitely the best thing I
is done for sure. And it's definitely one of the more
entertaining Statham movies.
But I do like Statham in more, like, pure genre mode.
Rath of Man, bank job.
Bank job's great if nobody's seen it.
Roger Donaldson movie, Indy Donaldson of Good Ones, Father.
Really good little movie, good torture and violence in that one, too.
This one is, but this is the Statham move, best of a pure Statham movie.
No genre involved.
This is just him.
And like that, I can accept that, that it is the best version of that.
And that Ayer, honestly, I've always kind of thought Ayer was good.
he just had shitty taste in what he was doing
like this is more his speed
he gives a little flare to the visuals
you know it's edited pretty well
I thought uh it's just like
it's dumb as dirt it's got great action too I mean I was
I think it's got great I think it's towards the end
my thing that kills
that kills it because I do like this movie but
it's just every time this one thing
happens I'm like oh man the other half of the movie
yeah all the FBI stuff all the FBI stuff
dude it's awful and I said that that woman shouldn't act
and that was mean but like
it's just it's not
Not good, these, I know.
But I'm trying to be better, dude.
I'm fucking 20 years old.
I know, I know.
Hey, it's the new year.
You could make a change still.
But like, it's just awful writing, and I don't give a fuck.
And you're 20,000 steps behind the movie.
The weird thing is, I think it's a good idea, but it's written poorly, which is you need something.
Like, if we're with the beekeeper the whole time, the beekeeper loses his lester.
So it's like, by going away and having these people wonder what the beekeeper is up to, you, the audience are wondering what the beekeeper is up to.
You, the audience are wondering what the beekeeper is.
up to, which makes when the beekeepers show up, again, more exciting.
All that math makes sense.
They need to be much better characters, is it.
Right.
Well, the problem, though, is, like, because he's a mystery also to the villains,
you've got both the villains doing research about him and the FBI doing research about him.
So it's like, and I would rather just learn about the guy from watching him amazingly kick ass.
You would want variety with what you want.
You want something like, because you are.
You're going back forth and being like, he's done this.
And then the beekeepers do this.
And then he does this as well.
And then, like, what I want is something more like men in black.
He, beekeeper, you know, this, the Felicia Rashad thing happens.
And somebody comes in and you don't know, and he's just immediately, like, connected to the person.
He's like, he starts sending them messages.
And it turns out he is getting, you are going to be the next beekeeper.
Yeah, okay.
Like, that to me makes more sense.
Because the one, when we do see the new beekeeper, it's like, fart noise, goodbye.
Dude, yeah.
And that's a little, like, it's getting a little into the.
John Wiki.
The slightly less interesting parts of John.
Wicks world I'm like now there's all of these beekeepers whatever John Wick though like I feel like they take their lore so seriously right this doesn't this being stupid I'm like that's what it is that's right all that lore stuff is yeah I'm curious is this would you could categorize this as like a post John Wick action movie I mean obviously oh for sure obviously chronologically but I mean like uh oh state wise yes it's it's it's absolutely indebted to it I think on multiple levels yeah like the fact like the peakeeper secret organization
nobody really knows about that it's the guy that you didn't know who he was he was retired now
he's back and neon and bisexual lighting as far as the eye can see but it's not though it's only
when you go into those like call centers does it get those are a lot right i mean that's 20 minutes
of the movie 20 minutes of a two hour movie it's part of the movie i would look yeah it's a nefarious
call center you're making a lot more money than you would make at a call center but you still
at a call center like can we just get some regular lighting in here it's fucking giving me a
My eyes, I'm looking at this computer screen all the thing.
I've worked in a lot of offices, and it's just a lot of too bright lighting, you know?
So I don't know, a little bit of this little chill.
So you'd like to work in an office where it's like you're at a gaming competition the whole time?
It feels like you can come in hungover every day, and that's fine.
Oh, so you're just looking for some lighting to cover it out.
You can be hung over at the telemarketers call center.
I mean, come on now.
I could, and I would, and I was hung over at every job I've ever had.
Sure.
But turn the lights down.
Get Dead Mouse in here for a second set.
Let's do this.
Well, you don't have to do that, but just turn the light off.
If Pat J. Pesbis was one of these guys, just like, just give him a little cameo here.
Because they were probably making this movie when tell marketers had aired or whatever.
Yeah.
Patrick J. Pespis, by the way, congratulations on him and Sue getting married last year.
Oh, congratulations.
Because they went to L.A. for the Emmys or whatever.
And then they went to Vegas and him and Sue got married.
I guess my invite got lost in the mail.
Yeah, no, I know.
But Patrick is a person who doesn't.
know him still to this day
American hero
this is good coleslaw they got here
they just get shot
he stole from the innocent
so basically it's
he did he did he did still
of the innocence actually
but he repented
he did cut his fingers up
just one
he's just being a humble beekeeper
he
the first thing you see is him
taking care of a hornet's nest
which is cool like
he just puts a paper bag over it
essentially this is the funniest way
to extend because she's like
he's like yeah I got
your hornet's nest, don't worry about it.
Felicia is short, it's all taken care of.
And she's like, oh, what are you going to do with them?
And he's like, that's between me and the hornets.
That's the thing.
I need him to, like, kind of like, the way you would talk shit to a, like, a second
command or something, I need him to talk shit to this hornet's nest.
You thought you could kill all the bees, you thought you could just take these bees from me.
No, you can't.
Well, do, d'a, wailety, welledy, well, it's the hornet.
Takes a mini gun to it.
Well, he, like, gas.
Is it an electrocutes it?
It's amazing.
He gets it, but I think he gets it somehow in the bollocks, I think.
Oh, yeah, of course.
He has to.
Yeah.
This whole, like, sticking a xenon light bulb into a bag, breaking it so all the xenon kind of floats in it.
And then using, like, some sort of stun gun to charge the battery.
It's an Abu Ghrave technique.
Dude, seriously, we should have been Blair and New Metal while this was happening.
Oh, my God.
Oh, you like this pig destroyer.
Yeah, I'll turn it out.
Here it goes to a lemon.
And what is his relationship with this older woman?
Is this a master gardener?
kind of thing.
I got real Master Gardner vibes for sure.
Except he's probably not a white supremacist.
That's true.
We don't get any, you know, previously on.
Previously on the beginning.
He never takes that shirt off.
You never know what's going on.
Actually, that's fair.
Honey comb swastika.
I've changed.
Apologies.
Everyone Google Master Gardner because we're the only four people that saw it.
The fucking tattoo artist is just like, you want me to do what?
honeycomb one no yeah yeah no we get a lot of these you know we we turn Nazi symbol into nice things we did one with a flower once honeycomb good yeah yeah yeah Nazis great yeah yeah but no he's it's actually like it's a very and again Jason Statham is always just a little better of an actor than you think he is in this opening scene with her he does it's the stupidest line in the movie it made me laugh out loud but it's very sweet because he's just like you know she's like oh I'm making a date
or why he come by, he's like, oh, you've been really kind
to me. And it's like, he's actually
acting as he's like, he's like, he's actually
like, he's like, he's like, thanks for
putting up with me, and me bees.
Best ellipsies in the entire script,
dot, dot, dot, and me bees.
And can I tell you that it was a laugh out line.
If anyone out there happened
to be the other six or so people
that were in my beekeeper screening last year.
Happened to be.
Uh, apologies for.
for all my Cape Fear, Max Cady as laughing during this movie.
But that one part, dude, I might as well have had a huge cigar.
Add me bees, he said.
That's your Kurt Vimmer touch right there.
That's where you get the gold is the stuff that when you hear it and it's being told seriously,
you cannot help but laugh.
It's just the Kurt brand.
It is very economical.
He does have an emotional connection to this woman.
He really does.
And to your point, yeah, I agree that he is selling it.
you're like, oh yeah, like he is
capable of doing some acting
when called upon when he's not playing
fucking Hobbs, or was he the other one?
I think he might have been Shaw.
Shaw, yes.
Luke Hobbs was DJ there.
Hi, Duane.
It seems like he's not only a beekeeper, though.
He does seem like he's got a general,
like he can take care of the garden.
Oh, he's mowing the lawn.
He's cleaning up for it because she's like,
this place used to be a pig style.
Yeah.
So then I want like, also speaking of previously on,
What's Felicia Rashad's failing farm?
What did she put out an ad barn for rent?
You know, Ms. Rashadig, these newspapers are just pulling up out here.
I can take care of them.
They'll fall down on you at one point, crush you.
And I don't want that.
You know, it's never going to be November 2023 ever again, right?
These are now old.
Like she was a hoarder before he showed up and like, I'll take out the flattened cats.
I'm going to clean out all the cats from your freezer.
That is a great.
great action scene is like he
they corner him in the hoarder house
and he's just beating people with flattened cat
yes oh fuck
that would be great like nun chucks
of flatten cats they're just exploding
as they hit people's heads and he's just
chucking like bags of shit at people
you know what I mean dude and it's a current
famous script cat cotta dude it's right
there fancy some dominoes
from two years ago
beating her to death with a fucking frozen
pizza he buries like four
different hench men by kicking a pile
paper's over. Exactly. This is, they're like,
yeah. Beekeeper to
the hoarder. I would love that.
That's how you have to really disappear, right?
You just never leave the house. That is,
I will say this, I'm glad
they're reteaming. I do wish
it was just beekeeper two, but they are routine.
There is a Statham-Ayer film coming
out this coming year. Oh, really?
A working man. Are you kidding me? Is there a
beekeeper two going to happen? It's not
beekeeper. That was what I was pissed about, is I wish
it was a beekeeper too, but it's called a
working man. It's just like, he's a
contractor and someone's trying to take over his
business and he's like, fuck that shit. Yeah, sure.
Yeah. No, it's, I mean, it's literally
beekeeper, but without the beekeeper. The secret organization of
contractors. So, that's something.
Blish Rashad makes
a mortal mistake. She's over
70 and she's on the internet.
There's your first mistake.
You are over 70 and you're
being asked to manage more than one password
for a website. It is tough.
Why is this lady
the one that is responsible? Thank you.
Sure. For holding the account information for this
charity that's got two mill in the bank
because she's got nothing else to do. I mean, what else
does she do? But you can't be trusting old people with
internet stuff like this. Old people will never give
up control. Yeah. Over anything
that's why everyone at your office is
an old weirdo.
Eric is correct about that. Some old
people give up control about eight
months too late and fuck up the entire
history of the world. Yeah, that sometimes also happens.
That also happens. But you know what?
I mean, this is not, she's not
the president. It's a different
thing here. I got to tell you, this working
First of all, same exact runtime as the beekeeper.
I love that.
That's nice.
Hour 56.
This poster, okay, okay.
Oh, by the way, it's not just taking over his business.
The tagline of this movie.
Human traffickers beware.
There you go.
And it's him, and he's got a big fucking mallet hammer.
Like, he's about to lay down railroad spikes.
I'm looking up at him like I'm an aunt.
And there's a shotgun in his other hand.
Oh, my God.
Step on me, Jason Stanford.
That's a solid off that looks like, too.
That's tough stuff.
Oh, my God.
Michael Pena, David Harbour.
I can't wait to see what kind of humans they're trafficking.
I do, like, I understand.
Oh, David Harbor and a movie skipped.
Yeah, that's mostly what I'm feeling these days.
You never leave the doc on that guy.
Like, the one thing I do wish they had gotten a little bit more creative than it was a pop-up that did it.
Like, pop-ups are a little too old.
That's 92.
Like, I don't know about that.
They're kind of back.
Are pop-ups back?
They're back.
You ever go to weather.com?
No.
No.
I'm more of a weather.
I'm a 70-year-old on the internet.
Well, yeah.
I'm going to all types of pop-up sites.
She's not even going to weather.
com.
It's literally she is just like not even touching the thing.
It should be a, it should be an email.
That is, that's how they get you these days.
I got, I never until you got super hacked at work and I'm a moron.
I am going to be Felicia Rashon one day.
Really?
I was at work like years ago.
And they drained all of Marvel comic books money.
It wasn't Marvel's my current company.
Heroes.
Heroes. Heroes in disguise.
Because they probably would have fired me,
fired me before they fired me.
Fired before you was fired.
We're calling this a pre-fired, Stephen.
So I got out of work, and I get an email from a vendor,
and it's like, you know,
your cost estimate is right here.
And I'm like, oh, I need that cost estimate.
And I double click it, you see.
And nothing happens.
And I'm like, oh, no, I, wait, hold on.
Come on, I'm trying to open cost.
sheet.exe, and it's not working.
That's right. I double
click it opens up to my
email password. It's like,
I'd enter your email password to review this cost document.
Well, it must be really important.
Oh, my God. And it's email.
com. Oh, yeah. Okay. I put it
in, and then nothing else.
I was like, well, gosh, darn it. And I do it again.
Nothing happens. I'm putting my
email password in four times.
Then, then I go.
Then the light goes off.
No. Then I'm like, well,
I guess I'll have to use my personal email
so I must be wrong with my email. I am not
kidding you. I put my personal email.
There's a call center that's
bisexual lady and they're
cheering. We got one. We got a real fucking
dumb ass and you put in four email
addresses. I don't know how and
this is going to sound meaner than it's meant to.
You should have been fired more.
You're from Kruger Industrial
Smooth? How? What the fuck?
Four times. You should be fired from the company
and your personal life.
Yes.
So then I finally realized, like, maybe this isn't on the level.
And I called, which is something now in most of your trainings that you'll get,
it's like, called a person.
Oh, the SADAC protocol?
They added to the training.
Well, they named it after me.
That's bad.
I called the woman.
She's like, oh, yeah, I was really hacked.
I'm like, eek.
So, yeah, I had to go to IT, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Wasn't a huge deal.
Right.
But, and I had corporate secrets stolen or?
No, no.
I mean, who cares?
But what do you?
Oh, no.
No, they got it.
Yeah, oh, fuck.
We were trying to keep the secret, but yeah, there's going to be a Thunderbolts movie.
I know, I know.
We were trying to keep this.
I know.
People are going to go fucking crazy now.
Or actually, maybe, dude, your hacked email was when that guy was like, oh, your mom canceled your dinner reservations.
Maybe it was the hackers.
Could be.
Really making chaos over there.
So, but this is letting you know that this is going to be me someday.
For sure.
Exactly.
Dead in the kitchen.
I'm fairly technologically savvy right now.
I mean, this is why it's great that Steve doesn't have any of the Wii 8.
movies apparently. I don't know. See, you think you're getting dressed up to commit suicide?
Yeah. I don't think that's happening. But it's, she said, oh, no. And then she gets the phone call
and Felicia girl don't pick up that phone. Oh, man. And here's Boyd, we're told. And like,
getting the other end, these call center guys, from the first frame of these people, I'm like,
come on, Statham. Yeah. Come on. These people deserve to die. And it's this whole like,
showboaty theatrical. Like, now here's, watch you maggots. Here's how.
It's done. I'm going to fleece this lady right now. And you get like both sides of this phone call. And he's doing like, okay, everybody be quiet. Oh, yes, I'd like to help you, ma'am. You just need to enter your password here. Blue, blue, blue. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. You know what? We're going to give you a refund of $500. Oh, no, we gave you 50,000. Oh, I'm going to get fired. Could you please? Could you just give me every password you've ever had? And here's where it's like, you know what, Boyd. You accidentally just gave me $50,000. Kind of sounds like a you problem.
Absolutely. I thought he took $50,000.
No, it's like, oh, I got to refund you $500 because of our password software, whatever scam he is.
And then it's like 50,000.
She's like, oh, I think that's too much.
He's like, oh, my God, Felicia Rashad, I accidentally sent too much money.
I'm going to get fired and have kids.
Too bad.
Later on, even she's like, I don't know.
I should probably call somebody.
You can, but then my job, I'm like, you're asking.
I truly don't care, Boyd.
But, yeah, it's got a, it is very, like, boil the movie Boilerm-esque, everyone's, like, hooting and hollering in the back.
Were they scamming people in that movie?
Yeah.
Was that the first time anyone said boiler room-esque?
No, Steve said it before in another.
Oh, okay.
I think Steve's the only person that watches Boilerm.
I'm watching Boil Room tonight.
Come on over.
He's watching it right now.
He's got to watch.
I've actually never seen it.
This is a lot of, here's the thing, you go home, you get a big soda, you boil some hot dogs.
You put on Boil Room now.
emboiled. Actually, Rathamann,
Boyram, because it will even, it will make
Ratham man even better in your estimation.
Because Boirum, it's not that bad, but it's got
a really good cast. Affleck's in there.
Affleck, Diesel. It's a state too, for sure. It's a state
tune. On this. Good diesel, right?
Yeah, before he went crazy.
Like acting diesel. Yeah. Hey, do
way. Oh, man.
But she is just getting fleeced
and, like, it's like, the second
she puts in the last password, they empty
out all of our accounts, including yes, one for
$2 million. Oof. Like her
IRAs gone, like, she's got like four grand in checking and, you know, then the, the retirement
stuff and then, yes, I'm just, whatever, it's like a children's charity or something.
I'm just thinking about Uncle Leo. She's on a very fixed income. Your Nana can't be
cashing checks. What are you doing here, your nana? She only controls three million dollars.
Stop the show. It is kind of funny that the one of the last things you hear this character
utter is, uh-oh.
like she's a loony dude
I kind of want to
I mean look I know it would be too much
and I would probably max Katie laughing at it
I kind of want to watch her do it
you know
I go back and forth with that
it kind of keeps me up at night
should she see the suicide
yeah of course we should
or even like you do the thing
where it's like she's all dressed up
blah blah blah
she's the I think that's
JT Walsh and I want to say
a few good men like
it just about happens
and then you cut
he put it on a suit
You know exactly what's going to happen and then he cut.
Here's how you do it classy, right?
You show the, you close up with a gun, goes back, boom, and then you cut to the wall
and it just covered in brains.
Yeah, that's real classy.
That's not a Felicia Rashad death, but I like what your brain's going to.
I like that idea.
They're going to the wall.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's like a newspaper clipping of like local lady loves charity.
Oh, a frame of thing.
That one time I was in the newspaper.
I'll tell you right now, the reason.
that that didn't happen, thank God,
is because we keep...
This movie is an hour and 46 minutes.
That is only because we skip
huge thing like that.
Yes.
Him finding out
where the call center is,
all that shit is not here.
Smartly. Find out where their call center is
just he calls up his old
government people. It's the old beekeeper office, which to
the John Wittance of it all,
if you notice here, the secret beekeeper
office, we're using old computers.
That kind of a deal.
you know, like in the one
wherever the room is in the John Wickaverse
where it's like the odds on Mr. Wickford
or whatever. The woman's like updating the chalkboard
or whatever. That kind of realm
that sort of has this vibe. But we don't go
like it's literally he's at the house
and then he's at the call center.
We're not doing any like build up
which is great. It's things like that
that keep this thing at an hour 46.
It's really cooking and it's stuff you kind of
I mean you don't really need it. I don't need that woman
to call him back like here's the calls
here's the adjo. I don't need a scene where he's given
and add to us. But again, Felicia Rashad
just going, Mother, and then, you know,
the end. Which that is honestly surprising
just from the fact that, like, this is written
by Kurt Vimmer and directed by David Eyre,
the restraint to not
have a genteel old woman blow her brains out on camera.
Like crying while they're doing it. Everybody's growing,
dude. Everybody's growing.
That's the one thing I wish they would have done.
Statham was invited to dinner.
He shows up a little late.
All the lights are out. Things are off
in the house. And that is great.
He's got a jar of honey.
Well, that's, you know, because he's a beekeeper, you see.
He's not going to just come to dinner with a lowly old bottle of wine, dude.
Here's a fucking bucket of orange.
Okay, so yeah, I guess we'll put honey on steak.
Just put it in a wine glass for me.
Or at least it's been in a meed.
Oh, no thanks, no thanks.
But he doesn't drink in this, too.
They keep on alluding to.
Yeah, well, you know, if I was a teetoddler, maybe I could do me fighting better or whatever.
She's right.
I'm my hero, Donald Trump.
I'm a teetotler.
Picks up a knife because he senses things are not right in the house
and is quickly arrested by...
Verona Parker.
This is the character's name.
The woman look her up really quick.
I don't think that I had seen her in a much.
Emmy Raver Lampman is her name.
I haven't seen her name.
Oh, she's in Umbrella Academy for all of it.
That was a show I didn't watch.
Yeah, I didn't watch it.
Looks like the Liam Neeson movie Blacklight.
Okay.
From 2020.
Even for him.
Don't turn that on in the whole of the hotel.
Don't turn it on.
That just come over here.
Oh, look, it's another mess.
A splatter pattern.
Oh, but nice poster.
Is that a mushroom?
I'm from keep on truck, and I love that one.
Even by Liam Neeson standards, that one is a rough.
That one is one nobody remembers.
I don't think I saw that one.
I didn't think.
I don't think.
but she is Felicia Rashad's daughter
dirter, I apologize.
Dirter and this FBI agent, but here's the weird thing
about all this, like the house is completely dark,
Statham goes in, he doesn't really know what's going on.
This woman is in the house already and like pulls the gun,
she's like, what the fuck are you doing to my mother's house or whatever?
And only then she discovers that
Felicia Rashad is dead on the floor and I'm like,
well, what were you? You got in the house before him.
What are you doing?
We raid the fridge first.
Yeah, whenever I walk into my parents' house, I just leave all the lights off,
just wandering around quietly.
I got the feeling like she was, like, right behind him, I guess.
It's just, it's such a weird moment, though.
She's already in the house.
And he looks at her, he goes, I'm sorry, because he sees her first, I think.
What the fuck are you sorry about?
What are you sorry about?
Oh, it's your dead mother.
It's your dead mother.
What are you doing here?
I was bringing her a jarrah, honey.
I told you, I keep bees.
Are you fucking my mother?
Oh, she's dead.
She finds the finance info.
She sees the computer still open.
A really great.
Oh, my God.
I need to see, I mean, like again, this is something that would increase the runtime, just a sad charity being like, well, that's it then.
There's going to be no gymnasium this year.
A montage of like an orphanage is closing.
It's like their big doors.
Nope, no more.
Yep.
But yeah, so it's the next morning, she's kind of like apologizing.
It's been sort of deduced like this is, it's definitely.
a suicide lady, sorry to tell you, blah, blah, blah.
Because they take him in and there's no
gunpowder residue.
Nothing's fingers, et cetera, et cetera, yeah.
She has a line here.
She's like making him coffee or something in the morning
and she goes that, oh, I hear a little bit
of the British Isles in your voice.
I was like, do you really, lady?
That got a real laugh at me last night.
A little bit?
I moved here when I was a kid.
The aisles specifically?
Like, where specifically?
Well, that's just something annoying.
I give this movie a complete pass on all that stuff.
he could be British. Yes, the fucking
former CIA director can also be British
because you know what? It's a blast.
Hypocrite. It is kind of funny. She starts
laying out all the family baggage. She's like,
yeah, well, you know, I might be a lowly old FBI agent,
but my mom definitely preferred my brother.
By the way, he was killed in active duty.
We just got to get that in this movie.
Don't need it. But okay.
No, because this explains
something you were worried about. This explains
why she liked Jason Statham.
Oh, okay.
He fucking made her honey and shit.
Who gives it shit?
Why?
You could like him for the honey.
Yeah, the honey's playing.
You'd like them for the buns, honestly.
Also.
Bonds trucked over some honey to my house.
I'd be pretty happy.
Can I make you dinner, sir?
Oh, you're from the British Isles.
I hear a little bit of it in your voice.
Oh, do you?
Crikey.
No, that's Australian people.
That's an island that used to be British.
Uh, yeah, so this is Statham.
You sort of see immediately what's going on here.
He's stepping up for the elderly with this great line.
Sometimes the old people are left to face the Hornets alone.
It is like...
God do it.
It keeps talking in Bisms and it's great.
He does, but he also gives...
It's kind of almost a speech where I feel like an elderly person
like inspired at first and then insulted by the end of it because it's like,
you can't steal it from old people.
It's the worst thing.
It's worse than stealing from him.
baby, actually, because a baby knows
where everything is. And it keeps it going
on, like, an old person, just
defenseless, useless.
Because a baby has parents
and, like, nobody gives a fuck out of it.
I mean, they forget everything.
They can't eat for themselves. They barely
can take a shit or piss for themselves.
They just, they lay around
until they pass away.
But I mean, he's not wrong.
We don't give a fuck about old
people. No, it's true. In the society, we
definitely know. I certainly don't.
See? And the beekeeper would have a problem with it.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You don't want to, dude, don't cross the beekeeper.
I know.
He'll make honey out of you right quick.
Until they make beekeeper too and it's all in a retirement home.
And then Eric is going to be, yes.
Oh, no, now I hate old people.
That'd be something in retirement home set.
You know, he could be sort of like Ben Stiller and Happy Gilmore.
Oh, there you go.
I mean, Saul Goodman already, I think, was the hero of the retirement community.
Oh, that's true.
Yeah, he helped them out in that first season.
Yeah, soon good.
So, yeah, we talked about it already, but he calls into the hotline here.
Via a secret B phone that he has.
Exactly. It is yellow and black in case anyone was asking.
But it's also inside the honey secretly.
Oh, yes.
It's a real secret.
Totally.
Well, you got to, you're hiding everything, dude.
You got to watch.
Do you think, like, he has an Etsy store and he's like selling honey, but it's like,
oh, no, the jar I just mailed out.
It's got a gun in it.
He's running after the mailman.
That would be a great way to, like, communicate with him and actually
like get him new assignments.
Oh, dude.
He had an Etsy shop and that's not, yeah, yeah.
All of his guns and stuff should be in the
B-hies and then he's going to like suck off
the honey off the gun. Dude, that's
the best part of the job. Getting all the honey off there.
Adam died this morning. He was sucking off a shotgun
and it just went right off.
I mean, like, or, or
he has an army of bees at his
back in command and he talks
to them. He's been, who's been making
long distance calls
on me being phone. Marvin.
Marvin, is that you?
Are we, come on, we cannot be okay.
We hated it in Jupiter ascending.
We cannot like it now.
Well, the royalty of the insects.
Marvin, don't blame Greg.
You're always trying to blame Greg.
I know is you making a long-distance bee phone calls, Marvin.
It's always, Marvin the bee.
I can tear your voice, Marvin.
I know it every time I hear it.
All right, Marvin.
They've got us outgun to you, buddy.
I need you to cause the distraction.
And I don't think you're coming back.
I gotta find my queen, my meal of cooness.
Hey Marvin, thank you for your service.
He makes like a little suit to bury him there.
Amazing grace, I'll leave the honey.
Oh, perfect.
Oh, making this good movie better.
I like it.
But yeah, he calls some woman and basically like,
So yeah, this is where the call center is
And he's like, what he did data group
In somewhere the fuck, Massachusetts
What are you going to do?
Burn it down
I'm going to burn this place down
Actually, you know, I'm going to be technically
There's going to be a hole
In the middle of the building
And it's going to be smoldering.
The whole place isn't going to be burned down
It's just going to have a humongous hole
It's just easier for me to say I'm going to burn the building down
You're going to say I'm going to put a smoldering hole in the middle of it
You don't got to get picky about it
It's just come on.
Let's get up there
People and bees are going to die.
More people than bees.
I love him really giving it to these two cocky security guards.
Oh, yeah.
These dudes that like, and this is the best part of these movies, right?
The whole, like, you don't know who you're talking to right now.
And in seconds, all of your limbs are going to be broken.
God damn it.
That tension, man, I just fucking, ooh, the endorphins I get.
Don't you have that fantasy that you could be like, yes?
You don't know who you're talking to.
Turns out they always know who they're talking to.
Every time.
You can definitely push me around.
Yeah, no, they got me pegged.
It's here at headquarters of friendly friend.com.
All right, then, you're all fucking dead.
He tells that receptionist, like, notify the other companies.
There's going to be a fire.
Yeah, oh, exactly.
Call the fire department.
They're going to be needing to come here soon.
And he goes up.
I love it.
I also said, oh, yes, sir, there's a dangerous loaner here with two gas cans.
Do they have an appointment?
Set it right in.
Oh, I called him.
head.
Marvin called for me.
Killer job making that phone call, Marvin.
Sorry for me yelling at you for using the phone earlier.
You actually did great.
A swarm of bees picking up a phone.
They look like a hand.
Totally.
And then Marvin flies to the thing.
You know, talks.
Marvin, you're the voice.
The rest of you, you get the megaphone up in the air right so it's aimed at the telephone.
No, Greg, I keep telling you, Marvin's the only one that can be the voice into the phone
because it's the only bee that can speak English.
He taught him painstakingly how to speak English.
The rest of you speak, B.
A, B and Espanios.
A, B.
Oh, we keep on stopping at B because Marvin gets disbanded.
There's fucking 24 of the letters to get through.
Just ignore me when I say B next, okay?
Okay, just ignore it.
I'll teach you backwards.
That way, if you ever get pulled over for drunk driving, you've got it.
Z.
Why?
Oh, I forget it after that.
Z walk.
fuck oh damn uh but yeah he's got the two gas cans he's he makes everyone like it's it's he is trying
to be a good guy here is like listen i'm not giving him a chance i'm not going to kill everybody
i want everyone to promise to me you'll never steal from the vulnerable ever again and they all
kind of laugh at him you know and then he just beats the fun example guy is oh yes yeah you
don't you never want to be example everybody's just chuckles these fucking you know 20 something
whatever is just laughing at this dude and then he mercilessly
He smashes this dude's face into the computer desk.
I love that.
And they all kind of wake up.
They start running out a little bit.
And dudes,
Kim,
just with the gas can,
La la la la la la.
Pouring it on people.
People desks,
whatever, dude.
He gets,
so the manager,
Garnett,
I believe.
Garnett,
there we go.
He comes in with four.
This is amazing.
You have four private security guys
and their first thing,
they were just like waiting.
Like,
they're not bum rushing this fucking guy
and trying to take him down.
They're like,
so what do we do?
what's my job again
I'm muscle okay I'm muscle
what do we do
oh we beat the shit
out of the guy who's trying to destroy things okay
you answer your own question
they're muscle not brain
that's true yeah yeah
and a great
a great weapon of choice in movies like this
always in forever and you see a lot
to just people get beat
with phones in this scene
he's just beating people with phones
strangling them with the phone cord
there's office supplies getting to the mix
like you stab in someone's like throat
Later in the movie when he's fucking stapling the dude's forehead is something else.
Brought to you by Office Depot.
Oh, the staple is really bad.
But yeah, he beats the shit out of this.
He lets this guy live, you know what I mean, basically like, you know.
Well, because, you know, you want to, you got a, he didn't think a head.
He's like, well, like, oh, I have one, like, big death.
All right.
I don't got one, though.
You're getting out of his office fire alive.
Only because I'm saving you for the best kill in the movie that's happening.
later. I need a brainstorm.
That's what Adam Clay needs right now.
It's a little brainstorm before we take care of you.
So you go ahead right now. He also needs someone
to impress by saying he's setting up this C4
so that when the next
call comes in. Next person
who gets scammed calls in. You can't say that to
no one, right? If I had to see him do that,
I don't know what the fuck's happened. That's actually true.
Well, also because Garnett, of course,
is the one that once Josh Hutcherson
just comes into the picture,
he is the one who is sent back
out to Felicia Rashad's house.
to take care of him.
But yeah, he hooks these bombs up.
You see this great shot of just a regular, regular family,
and it's the father being like the same Felicia Rashad thing,
like, oh, pop up, better call this number.
And dude, then this building just digitally explodes.
Yeah.
It's great.
I would like a real explosion, but it's fine.
Yeah.
We do get Josh Hutcherson, who I'm still not a fan of.
You know what?
Well, I mean, I think he's doing well in this role because I hate his guts.
Yes, true.
Working at Danforth Enterprises, now we're in Beantown, baby.
This is Boston.
This is happening.
And yes, Josh Hutcherson, as this Derek Danforth, great name for a shithead, by the way.
I like this.
But yes, he is like this Zuckerbergian tech bro.
We've got sushi in the office.
I'm skateboarding around like a prick.
He's much more about, he's got like fake Buddhist shit.
Oh, yes, we're definitely aping Eastern religion.
I've got an MDMA vape pen for sure
Because he makes the
The gnomes
The oh what the fight
When he says to the mother at the end
She's like can I hit this
And he's like not unless you want to see the
Something dwarves machine elves
Machine elves that's what it is
Machine elves is a thing
I'm talking about something from the end of the movie
But like when you're really up on
Hallucogenic stuff
Like one of the things like when you go beyond
The whatever you're having
communications with machine elms
so if I do that I can talk to these machine elves
this is a real thing that everyone's experience
maybe they're real Google machine elves
maybe they're maybe that's the other end of the dimension
right now they can help me get out
it's debated what it actually is
they're what they're like little robot guys with ears
Eric no this was all explained and bright
I don't know why you're not
come on this was all laid out very
he's a big fan
you know like
when I watched right I was like
Is this Max Landis' Star Wars?
It just might be.
I was wondering.
I wasn't sure about it until the end of it.
And then I was like, no, it is not.
But during it, while I was watching it was like, oh, man, this could be.
This might be his Star Wars.
Man, remember that guy?
Yeah, right.
Now what, he's in the sewer of YouTube making fan films.
Making YouTube, like, two-hour, like, sub-fan films, man.
Pay attention to me, please.
I mean, that's a, that's a lesson for everyone out there.
don't sexually assault people
and don't be a prick.
Yeah, yeah.
There you go.
Do inherent money
if you are going to do that
and wipe out your own career
make sure your dad was very successful
so you don't have to worry about working ever.
Yeah, yes.
He gets a call from Garnett.
Garnett's like, hey, the fucking calls that are exploded.
He basically is like, you know,
go find this motherfucker.
Aren't you connected?
You can find some dudes.
Something about like mob connections or whatever,
which I feel is this dude like bloviating here.
Also, the great thing,
is he's like, what did he look like?
And this guy's like trying to describe him
and he just goes, I don't know, bro.
He had a hat.
That's fucking great.
I mean, it's, I mean, like, it's true.
It's all he's got is like a blue cap and like a, like a workman jacket.
Like that's kind of.
Like a real like overly just for bed beard kind of.
Yes.
Totally.
Like I just did it this morning.
I just reapplied my embarrassing beard dye.
Oh yeah.
You could, but you could buy this one from the store.
You use a Carhart commercial come to live.
Yes, Carhart, exactly.
He also, Josh Hutcherson, I think everything you need to know about this character is summed up in this line where he, when he gets this call, he's like getting a massage or something, I think, and he's, he like, he gets up and he's like, no, that's enough for today.
I got to go big dog this shit for a minute.
And I'm like, you little turd, you little obviously investing in crypto turd.
So basically
They deduce
Let's just check out
Felicia Rashad's house
It's one of the last skims we pulled
That would make some sense
And they see
They see his car
They're like well that's got to be him
See and then this is perfect Steve
You're exemplifying exactly why
I think this other stuff in the movie
Is completely extra and uninteresting
You skipped over a big FBI agency
Oh God
He's FBI agent
Why he's hugged over
Dude this fucking Wiley
Like I get it
Like, you're supposed to, it's supposed to be funny that he doesn't really know.
But, like, you are also exemplifying.
There's this, her partner is this guy named Wiley.
Yes.
And the whole thing with Wiley is he does, he really doesn't know what's going on or give a shit.
Yeah.
And like, you are just underlining to me like, I don't care.
I don't give a shit.
Why are you fucking making me watch this?
Like, I don't, Kurt Vimmer is like, I don't even want to be writing this scene right now.
You know what the fuck is this?
I'd rather get back to the killing.
And it's weird, too, that he's named Wiley because Jeremy Ion's character who were introduced into that first Josh Hutcherson scene.
because his big dogging shit is just going to Jeremy Irons
and being like, save me, please.
But his name is Wallace Westwild.
Okay, okay.
That's amazing.
Former CIA director in this film.
Wallace Westwild, a 1930s comic book character
that went public domain last year.
Right.
And then we're going to get the Wallace West Wild
shit fuck horror movie.
Dude, these public domain things have to stop.
But there's Popeye coming, right?
Congratulations
Well, I guess they just were like
You know what? We can't just
say Dullet. We can't just be Derek Dulles.
That would be fun and I would like that, but we're not
going to do that. But Irons kind of
having fun here. Yeah, he is.
Just ironing it up. Yeah, I'm just
an American. I used to
work, the CIA, understand.
As I led the company,
that's the best
you're going to get.
I can't
fuck your mother.
do you understand that
we're like we've got a thing where like basically we
I finger her every four years
it's an interesting amalgamation of everyone right
this family right because like the kid is sort of
Hunter Biden a little bit
the president is sort of Hillary Trump
yes yeah yeah it's weird
the composite of it all
but yeah so Mickey and his heavy hitter
dudes such as they are roll up to the compound
and man here's your mistake fellas
you pull up to the little bee canisters here
they see that it's him
and he's like that's the guy
let's go get him and they stop and it's like
what the fuck are all these boxes
I don't know he fucking keeps bees or something
and these dudes
shotguns these little beehive boxes
he said he was a bee lover
I'm actually surprised we don't
get like a full on
bee death
yeah like seeing a little bee in slow motion
just exploding
well that
that would be great
that would be great but I also just like
You hang a guy upside down and cover him with honey
And then just let the bees go at him
He's got Marvin on a napkin
You're gonna be okay
It takes a long time for a bee to die from a gunshot wound
He's driving down the road
He's saying it the bees in a napkin
But the windows rolled down to the fucking corpse flies
Well I guess I'll just go home then
No, just tell me
Say it louder
Come on now
Are you a bug doctor?
um doctor uh yeah so they shotgun all these bees to death and it's like inside of his work
statham knows what's going on right here he's like sorry mavin and the rest of them like you're
a distraction while i turn on all the power tools in my barn very casually turning on the fucking
table saw and so good oh man and it's just this is a big old kill spree here and this i'll fight you
chris because you said the action isn't good until the end this guy with the shotgun yes the side of the
Shotka to his mouth where his teeth break off.
Oh, yeah.
Come on, folks.
All right.
That's a good death.
But I didn't think the action was very well cut.
Where are you at, B-boy?
Also great.
Should have done that practical.
Find a guy with no teeth, put dentures in there and actually break them out.
It is funny that like now occasionally you will get someone just pulling a like a shot that should be 3D but isn't.
Yeah.
Like they just got used to doing that because we brought 3D back.
So now like this tooth I was like, whoa, is it coming out of me?
Well, I feel like it's probably a thing too where it's like you want to have it.
least a couple of those. So in the off chance, the distributor is like, you know what, in post,
we're going to convert this to 3D. You're like, well, at least I don't have to reshoot anything.
I got the tooth shot. 30 years of the 3D. When it comes away back, you know,
finally, I will get to see the brutalist in 3D. And people stop, by the way, I'm sorry,
but can people stop booking that 3D Terminator 2 Judgment Day DCP? Enough already. I've never even
heard of this. Yes. I have no idea about this. And look, I love them. Film forums doing this like
AI series and they have most of them
it's just the 2D but they did do a
specialty like 3D showing and I'm like
one I think that's extra money on your booking
but two like come on it's just dumb
Jurassic Park in 3D
dumb dumb as shit also I mean Star Wars and 3D
is dumb yeah Phantom Man has failed film form
occasionally will do like a good one like they did
dial him for murder in 3D and that shit was
a fucking incredible movie made with the intention
of being you know shown in 3D but like
James Cameron wasn't thinking about that
but I mean and also for these lingering
3D shots you're getting you're forgetting
there's at least 12 to 15 people in the world
in 3D televisions.
Oh, you can't forget about those.
My brother-in-law is one of them.
No.
You ever watch one of them at his house or anything?
He did show it off to me.
Was it blown away?
No, I was not.
Did you have to put goggles on?
How does that work?
He, yes, like you have them on the side that you can use,
but you can also buy extra ones if you want that
with nice prints on them and stuff like that.
I don't know if they're still doing this.
Probably not.
I imagine.
It feels like that got tapped out.
Yeah, eventually.
But he's still waiting for it, of course.
It's coming back, man.
He's a listener, so sorry, Scott.
But, like, yeah, it's pretty funny.
I think it's pretty cool.
Where are you at, 3D boy?
But yeah, he beats everybody up.
He murders people.
Impales a dude with a shotgun.
That's the third guy.
There's another dude that gets hanged by a huge chain, which is really great.
I love all the hangings in this movie.
A lot of hangings.
And then he takes a bad saw to Garnett's fingers.
Oh, dude, just cuts this kid's fingers off his one hand.
And yet again.
is like, I'm saving you for the best
death. Not just yet, sir.
Not just yet. And that's what's great about this movie
is you have that monumental death
coming up and it's like halfway through the movie.
Exactly. Yep. And
here's the thing that sucks is you've got that cool
finger slice. At the end
of a great action scene. Yes.
It cuts to the FBI showing
up and because the wily guy
is like, hey, your mom's house
is on fire, I guess.
Where's my coffee? She rolls
up and she's like, I lost
my virginity in that bar.
I know. Well, whoopee, whoa, what's the beekeeper
up to by any chance?
It is. He's getting things together, don't worry.
You're right. It does slow the movie down.
I get the incredible Hulkness
of it all, the TV show. Like, you want
someone chasing him. Right.
But you need to figure out a better character.
You need a John Cusack where it's not,
like John Cusack and Cusack and Conair.
Beautiful example. Just quick,
very simple. He's not
going through like a divorce, it seems like.
Where, like, Wiley, I'm like, I don't, you gave him too much.
You can't, like, deal with all the shit you gave him.
I also had a false memory of, like, the, whoever, like, the bad guy's finding Wiley and, like, beating the shit out of him at his house.
That would be something.
I wish.
Yeah.
Right?
That doesn't happen.
No.
At all.
No, he's just sarcastic and shitty.
That's great.
So then he's got, uh, Garnett calls Hutcherson is basically like, he got it.
He got us.
He's like, are you crying?
Bro, are you fucking crying right now?
He caught my fucking fingers off, dude.
Oh, it's awesome.
And, like, he's on the phone while Statham is just preparing this, dude.
Oh, my God, like buckling him up into this.
The freight, like, belt buckle thing that, like, tightens when you, oh, man.
You know you're in trouble when someone's putting one of those on you.
Just FYI, from what I've seen in film.
Could you just shoot me?
While he's doing this, I'm like, could you just, you know, put a knife in my knife.
And now he's fine.
Attached to the back of his pickup truck, his old beekeeper pickup truck.
Yes.
He's saying goodbye to that simple life.
Well, yeah, because he put Marvin's corpse, Marvin's dutal corpse, in the glove compartment.
And that's how he wanted to die at sea, like bin Laden.
Marvin, we'll be together with the queen in heaven.
Oh, I'm sorry, Marvin, be heaven.
It's so hard to say goodbye to Marvin.
But man, he sticks a screwdriver
And whatever you got to do to make the car just go
Without putting your feet on the pedal
And rocks this asshole off this bridge
Primo dummy work here everybody
Thank God. Thank you to the dummy department
I love dummies, bring them back
David, I understand you couldn't blow up a building
They said no, thank you for saying
I want a dummy for this stuff
Yeah, I don't want to CGI this kid
And it's just a cartoon, give me a fucking dummy
And it's gonna be awesome
And, sir, you made the right call.
Absolutely.
But no, the air cut doesn't exist.
Great line here, because he's on the phone with Hutcherson here after it.
And he goes, do you have a state planning?
And he goes, I'm 28 years old.
Why would I need a state planning?
And just fucking stay them, man.
He just goes, I'm about to show you.
I mean, you walked right into that, Hutchison.
He just killed your best friend, blew up your call center.
He's like, do you have a state planning?
I'm like, no, I don't, asshole.
Fuck you.
That's, don't play fucking, don't do the who's on first bit with this asshole.
You know where this is going.
Exactly.
Another great moment before he gets tossed off that bridge was like this is the pleading with
them like, do you want crypto, NFTs?
Oh, dude, I got a ton of NFTs.
I'm like, yeah, kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him.
I don't need your bored apes.
If I had my way, the apes would be going in the river with you.
I'll put Jimmy Phelan and Paris Hilton in this car.
Oh, God.
He was the same crank belt on Jimmy Fallon and his apes.
You know, the other day, I saw a little, it was kind of a little movie,
and it was Elon Musk, impregnated Jack Doherty's,
and he was just playing with the belly, and I had to see that shit,
and I think it was you who did it.
I don't know that he called that a movie.
A little tiny movie.
Eon Musk was pregnant, though, with a big belly.
Sir, do you mean you saw an internet video?
Yeah, a little tiny movie.
A little tiny movie.
A little tiny movie.
is just short really
is what I believe they're called
in the States
One of them little movies
Tini tiny
A little B-sized movie
Marvin loved them
Marvin used to watch the little movies
Don't get all choked up about Marvin
all over again
Are you talking about gifts?
Yeah you know little movies
I don't give people presents
Shut up
They're a gift to us all
The little movies
Oh fuck
Oh, fuck me.
Yeah, so we get this scene now with Jeremy Irons and Josh Hutcherson where Irons, Irons is the guy who's like, all right, everybody.
Does everyone have the popcorn and you're sitting down in the theater?
Because here comes the big beekeeper backstory, baby.
Yes.
And he's just like, oh, beekeepers, we've always been around.
They're basically to work outside the government, essentially to keep the system in check.
But the government created them.
She sure did.
Well, that's one of those, like, you know, the monster outgrows the scientists kind of deal.
And also, by the way, the current state of affairs such as they are in the real world proves that these kind of organizations do not.
There are no guardrails.
There's no beekeepers.
No beekeepers.
This is a delicious piece of fiction.
Right.
It's sort of like the Illuminati might actually exist.
But, you know, it's like one of those kind of, you know, outside the system, but keeps it propped up.
Well, yeah.
But if the Illuminaughty did exist, Eric, I think at this point, they would.
would want to, they'd be funding the hornets.
They wouldn't be funding the bees.
They want the hornets that kill off the bees.
If they do exist, they can do whatever they want.
And I want to help them in whatever they're doing.
Oh, you're trying to support our new bee overlords.
Absolutely.
You're folding early.
That's good.
Irons has a great line here where he goes,
you've elevated, for someone who's elevated fucking up into an art farm,
this may well be your Mona Lisa.
Oh, yeah.
I feel like that's a little Vimmer-esque right there.
He kind of calls what's her face.
the mother and again the twist
it's one of the better twists it's so stupid
it's so big it's so stupid
it works perfectly it's one of those things where like
it takes this movie
from uh whoever
put this out
miramax it's oh yeah
but the bigger the bigger deal
Miramax is a small thing I think it's an MGM movie
maybe MGM Amazon
it takes it from that sort of thing
just right into a canon film's title
Just knocking on the door, baby.
Knock it on heaven's door, dude.
Because, yeah, it's just basically the whole time
everyone keeps calling her.
Like, we know that his mother is a high-powered so-and-so.
Yes.
That's fine.
But in the last half hour of the film,
you find out she's literally the president of the United States.
And it's fucking amazing.
It's magnificent.
The way they do it is so magnificent.
But yeah, he calls or whatever.
And it's like nothing, he's like, I'll see what I can do, ma'am, or whatever.
And he tells Hutchison, you're a drowning man, you know that.
And then he's like, well, who is this guy?
And he goes, he's probably the last pair of eyes you'll ever see.
Oh, that's good, man.
I kind of love that he does call this one, like, you show you up, me to save your son.
Like, are you positive?
It's going to be a real ball-busting afternoon if I try to do this.
I'm going to tell you something really easy.
It's pretty easy to kill the son of a president.
Nobody wants to say it.
I'll say it because I was the head of CIA.
I've done stuff like this before.
But it's actually pretty easy
Yeah, John John, that was me
So the call that he puts in
Is to the now director of the CIA
A two scenes in your done
Mini Driver
That's, I mean like you got fucking Mini Driver
Get her in this movie, let her be the person
She's great
That's in the air cut I feel
On this one because like she is
She's way too big to be just doing like literally two scenes
It's kind of funny though
Because remember the movie at Toronto
The Assessment
in that movie, I think it's a pretty solid little
sci-fi movie that's coming out sometime
this year, I think. She comes
in and is like a total tornado
in that movie and you're like, wow, that's awesome.
That's a great like one and you're done
you wouldn't want to want to want to want anymore.
But this is like, I don't know, you're the director of the CIA.
I want to see a little more of what you're doing here.
Jack shit.
She basically calls the beekeepers
and like basically
makes the beekeepers go after one of their own.
Yes, the current beekeeper is now going after him.
See, you know, that's the thing that could do me.
just one at a time? That's what I was confused about.
Is this an elected? The way that they
it sounded elected almost. It was just sort of like
the current beekeeper of the previous
beekeeper. Maybe it's like an
assessment thing. But who's voting? I guess the
office workers that help. Well it's outside
the government. The drones you mean?
Yeah.
It's outside of the government. So there is no like
whoever decides decides. It's not really a voting
system. I don't know. But the current
beekeeper, yes. I guess
it is one at a time like to have this. It has to be
Unless, like, it's by, like, they split it, like, two in a nation or what?
Oh, yeah, it's, like, regional management.
Yeah, like, she's, like, the Northeast beekeeper right now.
That's as best as I can tell, because that, it does, like, makes it pretty hard.
You only have one guy.
It's good, we don't know, though, because it's like, we don't want to get bogged down.
No, exactly, because that's what happens with John Wick.
I know, and it's like, you go to their, they're printing their own money, and I'm just like, okay.
Maybe it's one beekeeper per state, possibly.
Oh, that could be.
Well, because I think about it this way.
Like, she's, you know, assigned to do this thing and, and, you know,
the Boston area or whatever.
If there's a beekeeper situation that needs
outing in Seattle, like that's true.
Come on.
Does Rhode Island need a whole beekeeper, honestly?
Like, they can share one.
They can share one with like Jersey or New York.
Who cares?
Well, Connecticut's right there.
Well, also, I mean, it's pretty, yeah, they're pretty small.
There you go.
The New England beekeeper.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, there's like a, dude, yeah, because then there'd be like,
oh, shit's going down in San Antonio and you cut down there.
And that beekeeper, he's got a cool black and yellow cowboy hat on.
Well, also, if you do, I actually, I kind of think it has to be that, and that it has to be one person who decide.
Because the person they decided to put in his place is so fucking bad at their job.
It's terrible.
There was no way there were multiple voices being heard.
She looks like also a character from that Boy Kills World movie.
Which, by the way, is probably the worst movie of last year.
One of the first.
I did wind up seeing it.
And you should be thinking, you should be kissing our feet that we're not talking about it.
Instead, we're talking about something fun.
We avoided it, yes.
And to be fair.
Such a dumb movie.
It makes me viscerally angry.
Wow.
No kidding.
Because they have to, they make up a fake world that this is, like, like they can't find.
So there's like no stakes.
Exactly.
You can't find corruption in the real world.
Then you don't know the real world.
Seriously.
But weren't you happy to hear Ace John Benjamin's voice?
No.
Were you so happy for that, that was just a punting?
You could watch 14 seasons of Bob's Burgers.
You could watch 17 seasons of Archer.
Exactly.
I hear his voice out every day.
I walk down the street.
But it's certainly better than having to hear that Scars Gordon voice, I guess, is their thought.
Dude, re-dub Boy Kills World, but it's with his Nospheratu voice.
Now you solved it.
Well, now I'm realizing what his brother, Alexander, was in mute, right?
So he also played a mute.
A bad movie.
Now you just got to get the third one to do one.
Yeah.
That would be the Mute trilogy.
Well, the Stalin's probably done so.
All right.
I have no idea.
Oh, I don't know.
He runs his gums too much, maybe.
But also, this lady is having difficulty, to be fair.
she is from the year 2009
so it's a little difficult
she probably has a headache
from time travel I guess
yeah yeah yeah
this outfit's ridiculous
it's dude I expected
you look over the other side
of the parking lot
the fucking Bill and Ted phone booth
was right there
I was like you fucking work
for denomalus or whatever
that dude's name was like
what are you talking about
with this costume
was a fence with a perfect
circle cut in it
oh that's where she was
got it
she came from the fucking
doctor strange
training ground or whatever
but yeah it's I mean it's a fun
little scene basically
He's just trying to fill up his new truck and boom, here comes this lady with a middy gun and all this stuff.
Well, it's great because it's like we got a fight going on.
There's some gunplay or whatever.
And then, yes, in the flatbed of her fucking pinto or whatever this thing is, the huge gatling gun thing that's under a tarp.
After she kills the police that show up the response to the incident, which is great because the beekeeper's so outside the system.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He or she does whatever, you know, and that includes just eliminating anyone trying to stop them.
actual cops
I think that they do that specific
because like I mean he destroys her
I mean like he hits her in the head with a jar of honey
and sets her on fire okay it's amazing
I don't back the blue I back the yellow
yeah that's right yeah speaking of yellow and black
do you think all beekeepers like when you get it in the program
like you got to automatically become a Pittsburgh Steelers fan
like you get a terrible towel in your welcome package
and whatnot it's good for cleaning honey that and Bruins
this is the question oh yes good call
This is the question I teased earlier.
And the Pittsburgh Pirates, right?
Yeah, that's true.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
Was he a beekeeper before he became a beekeeper?
Or was he a beekeeper because he was a beekeeper?
I think because they, she also has this book on beekeeping in her truck.
So I think he just fucking read it or something or just studied it.
I think you do become into it when you start.
I think that's part of the whole get because you're trying to, I mean, there's a lot of books.
You're an assassin first and then they give you a beekeeping.
You're trying to make the world.
The whole idea is that you are trying to save the world.
The hive is in trouble.
You're trying to save the world.
What do people who are trying to save the world say,
don't kill the fucking bees.
The bees are important.
We need this shit to stay.
But also, like, a lot of people that engage in beekeeping and stuff
that talk about how it is like a very, like, centering, like,
your nature and whatever.
So I feel like if you're this trained killing machine,
maybe the constant, like, organizing and care of that sort of keeps your brain at bay.
It keeps the MK Ultra Dose at bay.
Right.
Yes, exactly.
And, you know, here's the thing.
We're sort of just, like, speculating all of this.
And this is what the movie is creating just, like, some conversations about these questions or whatever.
And it's better than just being like, this is why I do this.
Like, the script explaining that.
The John Wick problem, again, like, just, I need an air of mystery.
Yes.
No, precisely.
So he lights her out and fire.
We get our-cuts a souvenir finger off, by the way, so he can get into the beekeeper layer later.
Yeah.
So is this, like, after I would be, if I was the, the FBI agent, I'd be like,
so is that like a thing with you
first the Garrick guy and then you just
fucking threw him off the fucking bridge
I like little fingers
Oh really
Oh okay
Collecting me digits
You know what
I was gonna fuck you but no longer
You get the FBI people
And she's like
It's a mini gun
It can shoot a thousand rounds for second
How's how many rounds is that a minute
That's this that
It goes on for fucking ever
They just come to every scene
That we just watch
And explain what the scene was
Remember it happened? Yeah
this happened. You remember all this shit? Yeah, that
happened. I guess because more of an action movie cliche would be like
in like Commando, when Radon Chong comes along on the...
Oh, right. So you could have done something like that, but I think they were
trying to be better than that, but it's not really successful.
It's not. But this is where she, they get the information that, oh, the lead of that call
center is actually this office building in Boston. And wouldn't you know it? It's the
Josh Hutcherson building. So they're sort of like figuring it out for there. Meanwhile,
Jeremy Irons is getting this team together. This team.
team of like other operators
like he's like oh you've got members
here from Sealed Team 6
and the green berets and all these fucking
organizations and all of you compared
to the beekeepers. Pussies. Pussies.
Pussies. Your pussies.
All of your pussies.
Because you're not a beekeeper.
And now welcome to slide 6
of my beekeeper presentation.
Like he is just going
off on this shit. It's awesome.
And actually at this point which is the funniest fucking line
one of the funniest lines of the movie is
after the beekeeper kills the other beekeeper,
the beekeepers as an organization have declared neutrality.
Go neutral.
That's it.
That's also very John Wickling.
The house refuses to get involved in whatever.
Or the high table.
Is that what it's called?
I think so.
I mean, after that,
because one of my favorite things about the gas station is right before the things about the blow,
he's leaving.
And there's a guy there and he's just like,
were you going to try to kill him?
He's, no, it's just, it takes his car.
It's like, okay, I've got to take your car.
Explosion.
He's dead.
The guy's fucking dead.
Thank you for, I totally thought about that.
I didn't recognize that the first time I saw it, but yesterday or the other day, I was like, oh, wait, that guy totally blew.
Oh, yeah, no, no, no, he's gone.
That guy had a family, and he's fucking gone.
So, ladies and gentlemen, what I'm telling you is you all go, I've hired you to die.
It's almost as if this is an action movie.
You watch an action movie where, like, the one guy is unkillable, and they have all these big guys,
and they keep getting killed one after another.
That's what you are, essentially.
But anyway.
you want to kill him
he's coming here
and we want you to kill him
you're not going to
maybe one of you survives and kills him
so state them like I said
we see him he uses the finger
to get into the beekeeper office
he basically just guns up right here
meanwhile
this is the
the FBI agents get the FBI
deputy director to sign off on the
operations so it's like oh surveillance
extra men analysts
you've got it all
you know for this thing
and we're making a big move
on the Hutcherson office building
here in Boston and I love this
dude the jurisdictional fucking
dick waggling between like
the FBI guys who are trying to go in
and then like irons dudes like come in
like oh no pussy brigades here
get the fuck out FBI
we're private security Eric Prince put us here
and literally the guy
the Eric Prince guy goes up to
there's another guy who's very similar to Mickey Garnett
he's even worse
wearing like some fucking Ridley jacket
the goat jacket
It's greatest of all time jacket
Oh dude, just goats all over it
What a fucking asshole
You know that they had like a thing in Cabo
Like a company retreat in Cabo last year
And like he got that jacket for having the most sales
And he's never taken it.
Never taken it off because he's the guy who says stuff
Like I will suck your dick for good returns today folks
Like that's we just need to make money money money
In the call center
How many sexual harassment suits did we get
From that last company meetup
Let's see it on the big board
That's right. 37. 37. That's fucking right.
Yeah.
They're like, close the center because he's coming to kill you right now.
Shouldn't you be killing Bin Laden or something?
Yeah, so bin Laden's been dead for years.
It's kind of a funny line.
I talk like this because we're in New York.
Oh, sorry, we're in Boston.
Wow, whoa, whoa, wow. Too late now.
Why, yeah.
The last time we were in Lesher's show. That's where we're filming this.
But it just, I close the center.
It's a fucking illegal call center.
Hey, there's the bottom floor is swarming with FBI.
Like, get everybody out.
But dude, this is close for the day.
It's the whole thing.
Like, these people are like, we're rich.
We're working for the ultra rich.
Like, nothing can touch us.
I'm going to talk shit to this dude that could rip my throat out of my body with his own hand.
We're using CIA software to harm American citizens.
It's all about the confidence.
But then, of course, when you do have to deal with a beekeeper, that just melts away, I would think.
when uh like so they do it like oh you want to talk to my boss or whatever and like this guy gets on
the horn with hutcherson whatnot and then he's like you know he goes to stand down and this guy
goes uh bye bye admiral go back to fucking space force
speaking of fake organizations yeah sure they're going back in a big bad way um they operate
outside the system in space of course but statham you know finds a way to sneak in as you
dispatches all those FBI guys. Oh, that's what he beats
which is a great like, but he doesn't kill them because
they're FBI. No, but like he
is out on a sidewalk in
public and he beats the shit out of
like eight FBI agents and just
sashes in this building. You can
see people like farther in the
background of these shots. Like, does no one see
what's happening? Can I get one of these FBI guys to be like
little help? Yes. They'll help over here.
Excuse me. Dude kicking our
ass here. This British man is beating
me. Well, actually, I've
been here for like 25 years.
British
But yeah
So this is
Stathan does the same routine here
He's like I'm gonna give everybody
Some time to get out
Before I stop banning shit down
Oh and this is the stapler to the face
Yes
Yeah oh my god
It's so awesome
He's looking for more information
On Hutchison and he gets it
I
I got to look at the
It's bullshit
spoken here
That's my favorite sign
Oh yeah
That you went to a store
and saw bullshit spoken here.
And you're like, yeah, that's it.
Well, it's the same person that buys the t-shirt.
If you could read this, the bitch fell off.
You're wearing a goat jacket, dude.
Like, this is all of a piece.
Nothing is surprising at this point.
You're wearing a goat jacket.
Did he beat up the FBI swatting at this point?
Oh, yeah, right in the front moment.
When he walks up, he's like, no, there's no other way in.
I would know.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It starts going through those guys.
Yeah, that's the street beating.
Yes.
Oh, so good.
But then in the hallways, this is a really good.
He, a lot of good debts here.
as he's escaping this area.
The elevator
Oh my god
He cuts a dude in half of the elevator.
I then has trip wires to drag everyone else down the shaft
He kills so many people in that moment.
It's great.
I love I just all the killing.
I guess like he's like I won't kill the FBI
but these guys are like heavy hit is.
So that you know they're in on it or whatever
but whatever became.
I imagine it like it would be funny if like
he he does all that and actually
accidentally one of the FBI guys gets it and that he just like commits ritual suicide.
I didn't need to do that. It was just supposed to be the private securities. I'm sorry.
Somewhere around here is when Hutcherson makes the phone call like mommy help me blah, blah, blah, and the reveal here.
Because he's like, oh, I thought I'd come visit you this weekend. She's like, well, I'm going out to the beach house. You can visit us there. And he's like, oh, perfect. I might bring some of my finance guys and have a have a summit out there. Sounds cool.
whatever and she's like all right i have to go and this audio swell where she like she puts the
the phone back to the assistant turns and there's some folks here they appear to be like african
dignitaries or something and the guy just goes very nice to meet you madam president and you get this
wow yes yes it's so stupid i love it god damn jeremy irons being all like oh you want to use your
mom his cover to go there and he also he's like constantly the hype man for the bee keep
He's like, you kick the beehive.
He says around here.
Because he knows that this kid is fucked, which is great.
Because I think he's also excited.
I think Jeremy Martin's very excited to be killed by a beekeeper.
I think that's really what he's aiming for here.
Because, like, he is, you're supposed to be juicing up your private security and being like,
you're going to kill this guy.
And instead you're like, you're a pussy.
You are going to be killed tomorrow.
You should just shoot yourselves right now.
Why did I hire you?
I don't know.
I also love, there's definitely
a draft of this screenplay
labeled Queen Slayer. I guarantee it
because what's her face
from the, in her FBI
beekeeping stuff? And I'm reading about
bees, you know, there's something called a
queen slayer when the queen produces
a malformed
error, then
the, the, the, the, uh, the, the, uh, the beekeeper
the, one of the bees, a queen slayer
rises and murders the queen.
I'll tell you the problem right there is that
you can't, well, I get, because queen's
it wouldn't be as surprising
to get like
she's the PM
oh oh no
there's been plenty PMs that are women
like it's right right right right
plenty of times but that's
I guess that's the big difference is like in America
like we're pigs we don't like women in the White House
so like that is a big drop I guess
yeah so the FBI
the assistant director like gets the skinny
here and they're like so by the way
yeah this goes all the way
to the president, and it appears as if her
campaign was almost entirely financed
by money fleeced from citizens.
Did you know about that assistant director
of the FBI? And this dude's just like,
I gotta go take a meeting.
Oh, Jesus fucking Christ, this is a bad one.
I hope the beekeeper comes and kills me soon.
Oh, man, that's gonna be so good.
We are rushing towards the end of the movie.
Whose birthday party is this?
Do we ever establish...
Is it a birthday?
Why are there magicians everywhere?
Yeah, there's a big party here
happening that
Is it financial magic like pretty women
Oh, I don't know
Yeah, it's just close up hand
magic, yeah, I don't know what's going on
It is decorated, it's a catered affair
Who knows, yeah
Seems like an odd thing that a president would be hosting
There's a line from that kid Derek
That's like Hutchinson
Like about, oh, you like the presidency
Because it's one cocktail party after another
So I guess that's sort of like
Your whole life is a
catered affair. I'm kind of annoyed that this movie
doesn't go farther with the
evil president scenario. Like,
immediately, like, we meet her, like,
she finally has a scene with Hutcherson
where she's, like, she's
kind of in on it. It's the machine out of his part.
Yeah. No, she's definitely in on it. Yeah.
And, but she doesn't know
that her campaign was financed, I guess,
is the idea. That's what she...
Yeah. Who knows? It is annoying, though, because as far
as the movie tells you,
I feel she is supposed to be
genuinely gobsmacked by that detail
and you're like, come on, man. It's also, by the way.
And then she gets the swell of the
American people by the end. It was like, well, I have to
turn myself in because this is
totally inappropriate.
That's not what a president would
do. This is a Gemma
Redgrave, by the way.
And also at this party, we meet
Lazarus, this giant
Scottish guy. I think he's South African.
Okay. Yeah.
I heard British Isle on his
whatever. Anyway.
But he's the one guy that survived a beekeeping.
I don't know if I need this heavy or maybe...
I need him earlier.
Yes, exactly.
Because it's just this vague team of mercenaries that Hutcherson gets from somewhere.
Again, this is the second vague or the third vague team of mercenaries at this point.
I've lost count.
Oh, yeah.
You need a guy like the character in Commando who kind of wants to fuck Arnold.
Yes.
That guy, because he's there for most of the movie.
you only get him for a little bit but you're like oh man when those two get in a room together
they're going to fuck exactly but now it's like minute you know 70 and he's like hi i'm the big
bad guy in the movie i'm like are you right and your name's lacerus and it's also just funny
because it's like it's a team of dudes that look like they would be fighting the expendables
because they're all sort of dressed like professional wrestlers in one way or they look like
at the end of demolition man when uh simon phoenix raises all those dudes from the grave including
just in the body vintura oh sure yeah yeah yeah it's very yeah it's very
very cartoon-y.
I was thinking like he's like an X-Men character.
Yeah,
the way he's dressed.
It's very funny, though,
because those dudes are all mixed in
with guys that just work for the secret service,
and they're in, like, suits and ties with guns.
And, like, no one,
no one is questioning the makeup of this security team at all.
Like, who the fuck are any of these people?
Half of them look like they do, like,
like, Discord streams for a living.
Like, with all this weird fucking clothing.
And, yeah, half of them have suits on.
And, like, I just wish, like,
I cared, like, it's not like I have to care, but, like, I have to be like, oh, man, that guy's a bad guy.
Let's, let's go, man.
But the thing about, Jeremy Irons had to pull them away from TwitchCon to be here today.
And the Lazarus guy is a fake leg because he survived the encounter with a previous beekeeper.
That's a him?
Survived him, he killed that beekeeper.
I killed one of them one time.
I guess the predecessor to Jason Stath.
Yeah, right.
You're lucky.
Next weekend, I'm off in Australia doing a Skierham tournament.
You're very lucky that I got off for this.
Yeah, Bekeeper, you're lucky this isn't Fortnite, okay?
Also, weird thing between this, the president and her son here is that, you know, you get these a lot in movies like those people in power and whatnot.
He's like, wow, mom, you're just looking so beautiful today.
Oh, my handsome boy.
This was giving me, this was making me thinking like the Trump thing because he wants to screw Ivanka, right?
So this is sort of like that element, that incestuous.
I would just take that one step further, not make an incestuous, but tongue kissing.
No, make her evil so that at the end of the end of her.
the movie, you blow her brains out
and then like, I'm cheering.
You can just come to the wall and then show the
brain's here. Come on. It's her
shaking, it's her being sworn in
and then the blood goes on.
We do see Statham sneaking in.
He like gets under some trucks and gets
into a secret
service uniform here and gets in. And then he's
I love that he's just casually
walking around the party. He's getting a glass
one. He's in a nice suit and it
happens. He catches the eye of the FBI
agents who suck and
we're skipping over so much of them
and it's totally fine. It's insane. It doesn't matter.
They were the worst part of the movie. And they
start following him and they
catch some guy who looks exactly like
that's pretty great. Did Statham
like have a doppelganger? I was
waiting for it to be a Thomas Crown Affair thing
at the end of that where he's got like a bunch
of doubles everywhere. I was waiting
for you cut to the back of that guy
again and then it opens up and it's a robot
and then Moving the B's driving it.
Oh, dude, yeah, there's a little Vee in control center.
You did it again, Marvin.
You saved my be hind.
My be hind.
Yes.
Yes.
They said they couldn't be done, but we did it.
Marvin's in the robot suit.
It's like a Hulkbuster, but for bees.
I love it.
It's just a regular guy.
Yeah, like Mecca, Jason, Statham comes out and it's bee operated.
And then they defeat it, and then a swarm of bees comes out and just stings people to death, right?
Yeah.
How about murder hornets would be fun too?
That would be something.
You know that if they were actually doing beekeeper two,
it would be like a beekeeper to the hornet's nest.
Yes, oh, absolutely.
Because you would have to have some like,
what's the Mission Impossible bad guys again?
I already would know that.
Oh, the syndicate?
The syndicate.
You would have to have a syndicate versus the beekeepers.
And they would have to be the hornets.
They would have to be the hornets.
Or the wasps.
And they're all Anglo-Saxons.
Oh, yes.
If you get them out there.
I'm afraid it's.
time to die.
Exactly.
Oh, please hold still.
While I handcuff you to this truck, I'm going
to run off a bridge.
You must, did you say something bad about
H.W. Bush? We're going to
put you in a volcano, sir.
So this deputy director of the FBI
shows up this clueless fuck just marching
towards his own death. And he's like,
oh, hey, the first son. I have
some questions I have to ask you about your
fucking business you operate.
And this is great. This is Hutcherson.
Plays this really well. The shithead
liar who's caught and it's a lot
of like, oh, so you have
big financial investment in this, right? And he's like,
oh, I'm more of an advisory
capacity for that place, really. And yes,
I invested in that other thing. I don't really know
anything about it. The old
I never met this person. I mean, does
any of that shit sound familiar? I don't remember that.
I don't recall.
It's pretty incredible because the FBI
really comes
on hard to
our crooked, you know,
our crooked president there and that.
It doesn't really work out well for the FBI, you know?
Never does.
It's interesting.
He asked Hodges in a great question, though.
It's so stupid.
He goes, what do you know about a high-tech algorithm data mining program?
You're like, oh, yeah, that's what this movie's about.
Oh, is that what we were using to bilk all the...
Oh, nothing.
Nothing.
I know nothing about that.
I meant milk.
I'm the milk keeper.
I'm the milkman.
We have a milking website.
You understand where men get milk.
I would love that, dude.
Milk.com.
Send me that link.
I do, this is when,
because the mother,
the president is in the room
while he's being asked these questions
and like,
he starts bloviating,
like, you were behind
and so many important counties.
But I thought I won on my own merit.
No.
That's not how politics works.
Stop it.
Statham's icing all these mercenaries.
The one dude,
I think it's the main,
the South African guy
definitely does a to be or not to be.
Oh, God damn it.
Oh, Jason Shetham, you think, yeah, the only one that can make B Pondas in this movie, right?
I do like the hallway fight.
It's pretty good.
It's cool, man, and a good, mirrored hallway.
And I love just, like, using someone's disability against that.
Absolutely.
I'm sure.
I'm my favorite thing.
It is kind of amazing.
It's, like, you know, it makes a badass.
It's got this, like, robot leg.
But at the same time, it's like, yeah, you are just beating up a one-legged guy here, Mr. Tuff.
Yeah, it's a merciless.
that's dressed like macho man Randy Savage
though, dude, it's fine. He should have him a wheelchair
with machine guns on him. Yeah, that'd be nice.
He's dressed like what you would call it. Tom
Nudan is in the beginning of the last action here. He's got this
yellow slicker on. Oh, yes.
Yeah, yeah. A little bit more hip, but yeah.
He's got that. And he lost the leg
from another beekeeper. Now he's
losing his fucking throat to this beak. What was
his name of it? The Ripper. The Ripper, I believe.
The Ripper. So good.
Statham sends these two dudes down a staircase
like it's fucking sleepers, which is
great.
it rules it's a really it's a really good fight yeah um and the hutcherson interesting line he's like
i taught the CIA software to hunt money instead of terrorists which is pretty awesome come
it's good right is it's anybody who cares right and it's like you know i i'm going to turn
myself in i'm turning everyone in right because that's what the american people need and everyone
applauds this is also uh he gets into the room absolute power does not corrupt absolutely
Absolutely, actually.
It corrupts about 50%.
He sees Jeremy Irons first.
In the hallway here.
Irons tries to like talk him down from going into the room.
And this is where like Statham needs to just turn this dude's head all the way.
Yes.
A big 180 twist.
You've proved your point.
Yes.
You can stop now.
Go back and make honey for your neighbors.
Or now it's like he shoves.
He's like, all right, Mr.
Yeah, Mr. CIA.
And he like shoves him.
What?
Well, yes, I am wearing a mecca suit.
and now it's mecca irons that he's fighting
absolutely dude
I knew a beekeeper was coming
so I sent away for a mecca suit
and you'd at least get a fight scene
with irons here and so he literally just
shoves him like nerd
he breaks his hand yeah which is cool
I guess so man
I would love to break a CIA director's
my checking off hand
no I'll never whack it again
I'm gonna need to be milked
send me that
it's about time
I do it anyway
I'm gonna have to learn
how to suck my own dick
you've forced me into it
he might be able to
he's a tall
fellow
he looks live
flip them legs over your head
see what happens
anyone knows if Jeremy Irons
has sucked his own dick
please write in
yeah please you
state that was a good line to him
though he's like
we wouldn't need beekeepers
if it wasn't for people like you
you know like kind of nice
we're gonna have the be
come on we're gonna have the beekeepers
anyway
So Josh Hutcherson decides
It's a good idea
He's gonna murder the deputy director of the FBI
He shoots this poor guy right in the head
Right in the head
You know everyone
There's a thousand dead bodies around you
What's one more
Yeah
The beekeeper did that
Oh that
Oh the beekeeper did that
Totally the beekeeper right there
But yeah
We should say also
Statham has been stabbed
The stomach at this point
Yes due to the kick ass fight
That happened
Which also I didn't mention it
But it's a great moment
Of torture in that fight
Because the dude
has been like shot in part of the face
and he's got like a hole in his cheek
Statham just gets that fucking finger in there or whatever
Oh mood
Dude just fucking finger in a little wound hole
Yeah I love finger in little holes
I would love it
Wound holes
Oh wound holes oh wound a hole
I would love it if they get like
He gets Statham and he puts them in a chair
Much like Casino Royale style
Sure and then he just takes it
He comes in with like a bunch of like bees and the thing
And just like puts gas in it
Yes
And it's just like what are you going to do about
it. Huh? You son of a bitch.
Hutcherson
uses his mother, the president
of the United States, as a human shield
here. He's a cowering behind her.
But then he's got the gun out and he's doing it.
Oh, fuck it. He goes,
bye, Mom. And he's about to
shoot his own mother in the head
when Statham, man,
just one bullet right to Hutcherson's spray town
all over Mom's face.
It's just in the FBI's here too. They're in a Mexico's dead off.
They're uselessly going around
doing nothing. It doesn't matter a lick, Steve.
It doesn't matter, none at all.
Well, they come into the room right here at this ending moment,
and then he just, uh, Kool-Aid man's out the fucking window.
The rest of the time, the FBI has like Benny Hill music going on and they're running around the fucking.
Oh, sorry we're late.
There was past apps.
But yeah, she comes, Verona comes back up and she just goes, goodbye, Adam Clay.
And you see Statham, very Bond right here.
who is hidden a little scuba suit kind of thing in the sand
gets that bad boy on and the beekeeper turns into the sea keeper.
Love it. Great ending. Hell yeah.
Just right, just the gate is right there for beekeeper too. Come on air. Kurt Vimmer,
let's do it. It has to happen. I need like Beekeeper 5 to come out. I need them. I need tons of
these movies. You just want to skip to the fifth? No, I want, well, I want to, yeah, I'll skip
large swaths of my life. Put me in a cryo sleep. Sure.
So I can wake up and watch a bunch of beekeeping adventures.
Oh, no, Eric, in your 80s, you're going to get an email.
Oh, Beekeeper 5 file.
I'm going to put my email password in.
And then I meet the real beekeeper.
The last moment of this movie, though, is amazing.
It's very Kurt Vimmer.
It's very much for just stealing the dumbest part of the departed where the rat goes across.
In that movie, there's just a little bee that just comes and is like,
B, cut to black.
It's Marvin.
This is Marvin.
Yeah, that's all, folks.
Marvin, we'll be back in the beekeeper, too.
There should be a post-credit scene where that little bee lands on the beach where the beekeeper just was.
Gets out a little swoob his seat and follows his.
Drinking a little pinocalada.
Dude, the bees just like rummaging through the sand to dig out his little suit.
Little suit, little everything.
Yeah, and he goes into the ocean after him.
Man, that would be awesome.
but that is the end of David Aos, The Beekeeper, written by Curt and Vemmer.
Go around the horn here for some final thoughts.
Mr. Eric.
Yes, it's a blast.
I really had a lot of fun watching this.
The first time I wasn't as into it, I think, because I watched it really late at night.
I was kind of tired or whatever.
Oh, you did not see it in theaters.
I thought you did go to this theater.
I did not see this one of the theaters.
Did you rent it or something?
Yes, I did.
I rented it.
And then I went back today.
I mean, I liked it then.
I love it now.
Hell yeah.
I mean, oh, my God.
And the thing is like, like I said,
at top, like David Air,
Kurt Wimmer is usually not my vibe,
but man, a broken clock's right.
Two times a day.
Once a buck, yeah, dude.
This movie was just a lot of fun.
Turn your brain off and have a good time with it.
Christopher, are you turning your brain off?
No, I don't do that.
The, you know, it's a light recommend.
It's better than most of,
I mean, of everybody on this.
Like, this is better than most state of the movies.
It's better than most E. A.R. movies.
It's better than most Femmer movies.
Better than most Felicia Rashad.
also yes um yeah so i i can't really argue with it too much i just kind of didn't see like
the specialty in it it's a good like if this was on t-n t when i was younger i of course have watched
at least seven times oh yeah uh but it you know it's fine nothing big to say about it
stephen yeah no i it's a it's a hardy recommend for me i i i saw it i was
i was like one of those like in theaters you can you know read something at home and it was
like exactly what i needed and i've been like thinking about this movie all year i was
really I'm surprised how much fun I had
the second time around
it's super fun it's a great movie
it's a super fun dumb as shit movie
I think the alchemy of it is
how stupid it is to say beekeeper
so many times and like that is just sort of something that like
raises this above
you know like your average John Wick
knockoff you know it's sure yeah yeah
yeah no I don't know that I'll say anything different
yeah it's a very fun dumb movie
I did wind up bumping it up a half star.
This is a full four-star affair
on my letterbox record these days.
You know, I don't know.
Tech Bros. getting the shit beat out of them
and have gasoline poured on them.
That would be a 25-minute short film
that I'd love watching repeatedly.
But the fact that it's a whole movie
kind of about that, I like it.
I'm sorry, it's a small movie.
But let's make it a documentary, okay?
