Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:48 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.
Starting point is 00:01:11 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.
Starting point is 00:01:18 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.
Starting point is 00:01:28 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.
Starting point is 00:01:39 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.
Starting point is 00:01:58 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.
Starting point is 00:02:10 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
Starting point is 00:02:27 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.
Starting point is 00:02:47 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.
Starting point is 00:03:01 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
Starting point is 00:03:30 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
Starting point is 00:03:43 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%.
Starting point is 00:03:59 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?
Starting point is 00:04:13 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
Starting point is 00:04:39 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.
Starting point is 00:05:06 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.
Starting point is 00:05:30 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.
Starting point is 00:06:01 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.
Starting point is 00:06:12 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.
Starting point is 00:06:23 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.
Starting point is 00:06:39 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.
Starting point is 00:06:54 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.
Starting point is 00:07:05 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.
Starting point is 00:07:18 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.
Starting point is 00:07:29 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.
Starting point is 00:07:45 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?
Starting point is 00:08:04 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.
Starting point is 00:08:16 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.
Starting point is 00:08:31 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.
Starting point is 00:08:44 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
Starting point is 00:08:59 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
Starting point is 00:09:15 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.
Starting point is 00:09:32 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.
Starting point is 00:09:49 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.
Starting point is 00:10:11 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
Starting point is 00:10:30 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
Starting point is 00:10:47 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.
Starting point is 00:11:00 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.
Starting point is 00:11:26 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.
Starting point is 00:11:46 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.
Starting point is 00:12:05 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
Starting point is 00:12:59 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?
Starting point is 00:13:29 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.
Starting point is 00:13:48 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.
Starting point is 00:14:08 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
Starting point is 00:14:22 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
Starting point is 00:14:34 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
Starting point is 00:14:45 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.
Starting point is 00:15:07 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.
Starting point is 00:15:21 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.
Starting point is 00:15:38 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.
Starting point is 00:15:52 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.
Starting point is 00:16:07 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.
Starting point is 00:16:54 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.
Starting point is 00:17:13 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.
Starting point is 00:17:36 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.
Starting point is 00:17:52 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,
Starting point is 00:18:08 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.
Starting point is 00:18:28 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
Starting point is 00:18:47 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
Starting point is 00:19:02 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.
Starting point is 00:19:19 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
Starting point is 00:19:35 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
Starting point is 00:19:50 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.
Starting point is 00:20:06 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
Starting point is 00:20:22 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
Starting point is 00:20:38 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.
Starting point is 00:20:53 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.
Starting point is 00:21:10 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.
Starting point is 00:21:23 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?
Starting point is 00:21:41 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.
Starting point is 00:21:49 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?
Starting point is 00:22:05 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.
Starting point is 00:22:19 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.
Starting point is 00:22:39 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.
Starting point is 00:22:55 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,
Starting point is 00:23:11 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
Starting point is 00:23:27 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.
Starting point is 00:23:44 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.
Starting point is 00:23:56 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?
Starting point is 00:24:08 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.
Starting point is 00:24:17 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.
Starting point is 00:24:33 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.
Starting point is 00:25:08 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.
Starting point is 00:25:57 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?
Starting point is 00:26:19 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.
Starting point is 00:26:30 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
Starting point is 00:26:50 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
Starting point is 00:27:05 $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
Starting point is 00:27:38 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
Starting point is 00:27:51 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
Starting point is 00:28:04 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.
Starting point is 00:28:21 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,
Starting point is 00:28:38 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.
Starting point is 00:28:52 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
Starting point is 00:29:07 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
Starting point is 00:29:23 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,
Starting point is 00:29:40 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.
Starting point is 00:29:58 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.
Starting point is 00:30:18 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.
Starting point is 00:30:36 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.
Starting point is 00:30:55 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.
Starting point is 00:31:11 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?
Starting point is 00:31:26 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.
Starting point is 00:31:39 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.
Starting point is 00:31:58 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.
Starting point is 00:32:15 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?
Starting point is 00:32:27 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.
Starting point is 00:32:51 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.
Starting point is 00:33:09 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?
Starting point is 00:33:25 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.
Starting point is 00:33:41 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
Starting point is 00:34:00 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.
Starting point is 00:34:14 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?
Starting point is 00:34:28 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...
Starting point is 00:34:46 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.
Starting point is 00:35:04 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
Starting point is 00:35:21 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.
Starting point is 00:35:37 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.
Starting point is 00:35:52 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.
Starting point is 00:36:09 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,
Starting point is 00:36:25 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
Starting point is 00:36:40 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
Starting point is 00:36:58 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.
Starting point is 00:37:15 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.
Starting point is 00:37:31 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.
Starting point is 00:37:59 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
Starting point is 00:38:13 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
Starting point is 00:38:29 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?
Starting point is 00:38:46 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.
Starting point is 00:39:04 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.
Starting point is 00:39:21 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.
Starting point is 00:39:32 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.
Starting point is 00:39:49 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.
Starting point is 00:40:09 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.
Starting point is 00:40:28 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
Starting point is 00:40:58 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,
Starting point is 00:41:11 La la la la la la. Pouring it on people. People desks, whatever, dude. He gets, so the manager, Garnett, I believe.
Starting point is 00:41:18 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,
Starting point is 00:41:27 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
Starting point is 00:41:39 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
Starting point is 00:41:51 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.
Starting point is 00:42:12 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.
Starting point is 00:42:31 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
Starting point is 00:42:47 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.
Starting point is 00:43:03 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.
Starting point is 00:43:21 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.
Starting point is 00:43:36 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
Starting point is 00:44:02 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
Starting point is 00:44:17 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
Starting point is 00:44:34 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
Starting point is 00:44:50 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.
Starting point is 00:45:08 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.
Starting point is 00:45:24 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
Starting point is 00:45:36 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?
Starting point is 00:45:50 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.
Starting point is 00:46:05 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.
Starting point is 00:46:19 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.
Starting point is 00:46:51 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
Starting point is 00:47:03 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
Starting point is 00:47:17 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.
Starting point is 00:47:32 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.
Starting point is 00:47:50 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.
Starting point is 00:48:09 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
Starting point is 00:48:24 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,
Starting point is 00:48:41 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
Starting point is 00:48:58 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
Starting point is 00:49:16 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
Starting point is 00:49:30 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
Starting point is 00:49:44 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
Starting point is 00:50:03 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
Starting point is 00:50:27 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.
Starting point is 00:50:51 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.
Starting point is 00:51:10 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
Starting point is 00:51:45 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
Starting point is 00:52:01 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
Starting point is 00:52:17 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.
Starting point is 00:52:29 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.
Starting point is 00:52:41 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?
Starting point is 00:52:56 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.
Starting point is 00:53:11 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
Starting point is 00:53:26 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
Starting point is 00:53:42 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
Starting point is 00:53:58 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.
Starting point is 00:54:15 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.
Starting point is 00:54:31 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.
Starting point is 00:54:44 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.
Starting point is 00:55:04 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.
Starting point is 00:55:31 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
Starting point is 00:55:55 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.
Starting point is 00:56:09 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.
Starting point is 00:56:29 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
Starting point is 00:56:47 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.
Starting point is 00:57:08 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?
Starting point is 00:57:32 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
Starting point is 00:57:42 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
Starting point is 00:57:55 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.
Starting point is 00:58:20 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.
Starting point is 00:58:46 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.
Starting point is 00:59:02 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.
Starting point is 00:59:17 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
Starting point is 00:59:34 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
Starting point is 00:59:52 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.
Starting point is 01:00:09 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.
Starting point is 01:00:23 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?
Starting point is 01:00:45 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
Starting point is 01:01:05 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
Starting point is 01:01:22 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
Starting point is 01:01:38 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
Starting point is 01:01:52 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
Starting point is 01:02:09 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
Starting point is 01:02:25 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.
Starting point is 01:02:47 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
Starting point is 01:03:03 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.
Starting point is 01:03:18 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.
Starting point is 01:03:42 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.
Starting point is 01:04:01 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.
Starting point is 01:04:13 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.
Starting point is 01:04:24 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?
Starting point is 01:04:41 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.
Starting point is 01:04:51 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
Starting point is 01:05:04 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
Starting point is 01:05:13 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
Starting point is 01:05:22 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.
Starting point is 01:05:44 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
Starting point is 01:06:11 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.
Starting point is 01:06:29 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.
Starting point is 01:06:43 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.
Starting point is 01:07:02 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,
Starting point is 01:07:19 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.
Starting point is 01:07:38 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,
Starting point is 01:07:56 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
Starting point is 01:08:08 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
Starting point is 01:08:21 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
Starting point is 01:08:38 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
Starting point is 01:09:02 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.
Starting point is 01:09:19 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.
Starting point is 01:09:35 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.
Starting point is 01:09:49 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.
Starting point is 01:10:02 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.
Starting point is 01:10:25 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
Starting point is 01:10:38 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
Starting point is 01:10:51 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
Starting point is 01:11:05 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
Starting point is 01:11:21 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
Starting point is 01:11:37 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
Starting point is 01:11:54 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.
Starting point is 01:12:15 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.
Starting point is 01:12:31 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.
Starting point is 01:12:53 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
Starting point is 01:13:28 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.
Starting point is 01:13:45 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
Starting point is 01:13:58 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
Starting point is 01:14:09 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
Starting point is 01:14:21 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.
Starting point is 01:14:36 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.
Starting point is 01:14:46 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
Starting point is 01:15:01 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
Starting point is 01:15:19 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
Starting point is 01:16:07 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.
Starting point is 01:16:34 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
Starting point is 01:16:51 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
Starting point is 01:17:08 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
Starting point is 01:17:22 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
Starting point is 01:17:40 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
Starting point is 01:17:57 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...
Starting point is 01:18:16 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
Starting point is 01:18:30 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
Starting point is 01:18:47 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.
Starting point is 01:19:03 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
Starting point is 01:19:21 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.
Starting point is 01:19:37 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...
Starting point is 01:19:56 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.
Starting point is 01:20:14 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
Starting point is 01:20:47 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.
Starting point is 01:21:00 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,
Starting point is 01:21:17 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.
Starting point is 01:21:38 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.
Starting point is 01:22:05 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
Starting point is 01:22:25 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
Starting point is 01:22:43 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
Starting point is 01:22:59 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.
Starting point is 01:23:17 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.
Starting point is 01:23:32 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.
Starting point is 01:23:49 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.
Starting point is 01:24:03 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.
Starting point is 01:24:16 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.
Starting point is 01:24:30 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
Starting point is 01:24:46 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
Starting point is 01:25:02 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?
Starting point is 01:25:18 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.
Starting point is 01:25:35 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.
Starting point is 01:25:46 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,
Starting point is 01:25:58 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,
Starting point is 01:26:12 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.
Starting point is 01:26:29 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.
Starting point is 01:26:45 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.
Starting point is 01:27:00 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.
Starting point is 01:27:14 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.
Starting point is 01:27:49 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.
Starting point is 01:28:02 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
Starting point is 01:28:18 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
Starting point is 01:28:33 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
Starting point is 01:28:48 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
Starting point is 01:28:58 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
Starting point is 01:29:07 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
Starting point is 01:29:22 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
Starting point is 01:29:30 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
Starting point is 01:29:40 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
Starting point is 01:29:53 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
Starting point is 01:30:07 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
Starting point is 01:30:21 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.
Starting point is 01:30:37 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.
Starting point is 01:30:57 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
Starting point is 01:31:33 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.
Starting point is 01:31:58 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.
Starting point is 01:32:17 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.
Starting point is 01:32:43 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.
Starting point is 01:32:57 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.
Starting point is 01:33:06 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.
Starting point is 01:33:19 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.
Starting point is 01:33:36 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
Starting point is 01:34:08 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
Starting point is 01:34:28 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.
Starting point is 01:34:46 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?
