Oh, my goodness gracious, what is going on, one and all.
Welcome to WHM's on screen live.
My name is Andrew Rubin, and this is
show for Monday the 16th of June.
I know we've been away for a little bit.
Pretty busy this summer, y'all.
Pretty busy.
So we're happy to be back.
We got all four of us locked and loaded, ready to talk about movies.
We're going to bring him in because we got a lot to talk about today.
First up, let's see if that microphone's on missed.
Do Stephen Sadek?
I think it is, right?
Had a little bit of Ethan Hunt to get here we were talking about.
Yeah, dude.
Of course, I always got, always do it.
By the way, I don't know if anyone saw it, but we watched the dubious.
Brothers live on
the Stephen Colbert show
last week. Thanks to
Howard for getting us this ticket. It's really nice guy.
And Andrew had the best time watching the Doobie
Brother. Everybody else, I don't know, that video
that Eric Shade, Andrew was
the one that was into it.
I mean, not that I wasn't into it, but I do
want to commend you.
You were, with abandon, you were into
it. Oh, yeah. Oh, I will
get going for live music, dude. Don't worry
about it. And you get me
clapping. You get me, you get me
watching a fucking majestic saxophone man
walking around the stage? I'll
fucking go ape shit, dude. Nothing. No
shame. Again, I just, it's
a level of, at the level I wish to
achieve. I wish we,
I should have pulled that video clip from
Eric so we could have shown us
at the Colbert's show.
Maybe we'll get that for the
final show the season. Anyway, we got
two other dudes who were with us at the
Colbert taping last Monday. Here's
one of them. He's got a hat on. He's Eric Cisca.
Oh my God. This guy,
going to go an apes shit. This guy's going ape shit. This wild dog. You guys ever read this book? Yeah. He's a
troublemaker. He just, I'll drive down the street shooting people. That's a superhero.
What is he, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department? How is everyone doing today?
Good. Good. I would argue that Chris and I are doing better than the two of you. I'll bring Chris in so we can
discuss that. Here's Chris. Hi there. Eric, shouldn't it be, it's a podcaster. Shouldn't it be, it's a podcaster.
be copier of cats
there for reading
right in front, right when we get
to it. Sure, sure, sure.
But you never read Wild Dog
did you? I never did. I have
got a good breakdown from you and it does
sound like, dude, it's the only
event. He's the only
superhero the Quad Cities ever
had and they were
better for it when Wild Dog was on the case.
Now, we should say, yes, the difference
between me and Chris
versus Eric and Steve is that
Chris and I do not have COVID from the Colbert taping.
Well, we don't know exactly where we got.
Yeah, no, but I mean, like, yeah, no.
As the time, Eric, I saw each other last week, and we also saw it with a bunch of boomers who never do what Vax even meant.
Right.
I guess is.
Yes.
That's where that happened.
So I have COVID right now.
Steve has COVID, and then there's going to be a comment on this video saying COVID isn't real.
Coming up momentarily, don't worry.
You know it, dude.
Any second now.
hashtag guide suddenly you never know
what I need to do is I need to diet suddenly
I think that's what I'm going to be doing
welcome back to the chat I'm so Rachel Rose
E. Simon says 14
AJB super Rob
Jamie Lochner Griffin Talbot
great name Griffin Talbot
quick question is is AJB
the Angelica Jade Bastien
I believe it is that's so cool
Thank you and if it's not thank you anyway
Thanks for tuning in.
People that haven't been on the show
are very welcome to be in the comments.
Just an FYI.
It's discouraged, but you could do it.
Angelica confirms.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Angelica.
Angelica.
Oh, it is, Angelica.
Okay.
Welcome, Joe Barrett.
And Tsar Oikie, Chase, Colafetti, all y'all in the chat.
Let's get into it.
We got a lot to talk about today.
A lot to plug, of course, also some big news.
as to what's going on this week.
But first up, you know, it's been a while.
I had to change out a whole lot of posters for this week's show.
Let's talk about what was going on the box office weekend.
This weekend, I should say, this is highest gross.
All right.
Now, let's see what we got here.
first up fifth in fifth still uh well still trying to pretend like it's uh relevant in anyway
ballerina oh boy oh boy town do people see this one or no i have i've seen it it's really not
good uh really okay i think i find it incredibly sauceless just absolutely without it that's what
it looked like from the trailers i thought there was not enough sauce on there i wanted to sit it back to
the chef but uh i heard some people liked it so you know if
It's okay to like a movie, obviously, but it just, it did not have winner written on it to me.
It is the skeleton of a John Wick movie with Anna DeArmis in the role.
Yeah.
And if you're like without any like, you know, the thought put into the skeleton of the John Wick movie.
So it's kind of disappointing.
Yeah, speaking of disappointing, in its second week, it dropped 62% not a great hold whatsoever.
It's a total QUM right now, 42 domestic, 92 global, and a $90 million.
budget, not great for Lionsgate
and Friends. If we're talking about gold
coins than the collecting of them, I would much
rather watch a live action Mario Kart movie.
Yes, exactly. Oh, hell yeah.
Oh, hell yes. I want to see
Sonic check into the Continental.
Oh, dude, totally. That would be
awesome. And then, like, him and Knuckles are like
going at it outside.
And who's that? It's Mega Man.
Look out. Hell yeah.
I'm thinking I'm fireman
now or whatever he
would say. Yeah, that's right. I'm thinking I'm top
man. Oh, and you must
be wood. You must be woodman because you're
rotten.
How many Mega Man
villains can we name? Yeah, let's keep
going. Let's keep going. This is the COVID
fever. Iceman, Gemini
Man. Oh, Gemini Man.
With Dr. Wiley, of course. He's a
villain. He was the ultimate villain.
Yeah, yeah. So it's like a genesis, the
Boogerman, for
sure. Different game.
I was Booger Man this weekend.
I got the green
pellet of COVID. That was Booger man.
I'm Booger. I'm still
Boogerman. Remember that was when
you would get like an extra life in that game or a
one up or whatever. He would go, Booger!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What a game.
What a fucking time to be alive the 1990s.
Anyway, in it for
Tom Cruise and teams still rocking and rolling with the final
reckoning here. Looking at
I didn't put the fucking number in. How about
me? $10.3 million.
There you go.
10.3 million looking at 166
domestic 507 global
but this motherfucker is still at a
$400 million budget. This is not going
to break even. Can we see the
poster one more time? You bet
your sweet buns. That was me watching the movie
like oh that's what you're okay
Oh, all right. Almost a smile.
It's a smile. You're getting there.
All right. We'll all
get to it. Can I see the poster again
real quick? So Steve
you fell down on the way to the concession stand
is that what happened?
Yeah, and I lost 30 pounds
that I was much better.
Oh, wow.
Well, I took that header down the stairs
going to the concession stand
and they came up more handsome
than ever before.
Same height, though.
Same height.
Only 30.
Okay.
All right.
In at 3, this is the first
new movie on the list here
from 824 materialists.
Looking at,
what did this motherfucker do here?
$12 million.
Actually, not too shabby.
This was the third highest A2-4 debut.
Chris Cabin, you're the only one that saw this.
You want to do a capsule review.
Take it away.
It is the worst thing you're going to see this year.
Wow.
I have such a hard time believing there's going to be something worse than this.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
Now, to be clear, if you're the type of person who's like, oh, the camera work is okay and
like everything's moving the right way and that is a good movie, you are going to disagree with
me. It looks, if you don't pay attention to what's going on, I could see somebody like,
that was fine. I don't know what people are talking about. If you pay attention to what's going
on, it is unbelievable how empty this thing is. Really? Well, Chris, on the Thunderdome,
it is just unbelievable that they allowed this. I read on the internet that you just didn't get it.
Oh, that's real. That's possible. Yeah, sure. Right. Yeah, so maybe just didn't get it.
I know, that's possible. Who said that? You? No, no, no. That is the biggest.
A total nobody said it.
It doesn't matter.
The biggest, what do you call it there?
The biggest problem I had this weekend having COVID was I couldn't go and see the materialist.
Me and my wife, especially as the reviews, as the reviews started coming in that nobody liked it,
that Angelica didn't like it, that Chris absolutely despised it.
I was like, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
I got so excited for it and that I had COVID.
So we're going to go on Thursday.
I think it is the movie you are looking for it, Steve.
I know that for sure.
thing I was thinking of, like, oh, Steve is going to be
tackling. You know,
the funny thing is, is like, I,
you know, I didn't see
a trailer for this movie. I mean, I know
Celine's song, I actually liked
past lives, but like,
I don't know a single thing
what this movie is about. I know, like,
the three people who are in it, and that is it.
I saw, I'm actually genuinely
stunned that this was third of the box
office. I saw, like, nothing for this anyway.
Maybe it was just me. I saw almost no
advertising for this. Wait, three, three people,
Does Dakota Johnson qualify as a person?
Chris Cabin, how was her performance?
Because I find her to have the personality
of a desk chair in most of her roles.
She is definitely not the issue here.
Really?
I don't think the actors in general are the issue,
though I don't think,
I think Chris Evans and Pedro Pascall are not good.
She is just, I mean,
she's holding this thing together.
It's not held together,
so on that, I guess you could call it a failure.
I want her to have a movie
with Scott Eastwood.
I think we're going to get these two together.
Chair and car going at it.
They've got to throw at each other.
Maybe.
I mean, one day we might see that.
Maybe when Madam Web 2 comes out.
That might be it.
Scott Eastwood as as car man.
Sure.
Our friend from the authorized podcast,
Johnny Pomano, says he's got a rule of thumb.
You only sees one Pedro Pascal movie a year.
Fair.
So I guess, Johnny, are you saving it for a fantastic?
Fantastic Four First Steps then? Is that the idea?
Because I am.
Yeah.
Yeah, so that sounds like a big whiff there, Chris Cabin.
But still three.
It's tough. It's tough.
But I got a question for truth.
How are you splitting Fantastic Four and Eddington?
Isn't that going to be?
That's a tough call.
True, true.
He is in the Ariasster.
Well, you watch half of one, you walk out, you go to the other.
That's the movie.
Or you close your eyes every time he's on screen in one of them.
You go to both.
There you go like this.
When somebody says read, you go like this.
Oh, man.
Coming in at number two, Lilo and Stitch,
the live action remake.
I love, first of all, I love this.
Look at this little guy.
He's a terrible.
Celebrate in the new year.
I don't know.
There's nothing to celebrate Lilo.
Or is that Stitch?
He's Stitch, I believe.
What's Lilo?
A little girl.
In week four, 15.5.
million dollars the amazing thing about
this check this shit out 366 million
domestic 848 million globally
not only did this clear the fucking board
for whatever expenses they had for this movie
it cleared the board for the failure
that was Snow White the Seven Doors
so Disney back to doing okay after that huge
bomb and now this coming in and saving it
by the way I love that I've become grandpa
well which one's Lilo what's that
Stitch what's that dude what's oh the little
girl's Lilo oh yeah now
what's a stitch it's like a blue dog right
exactly
you go to the blue dog movie with the little girl
I got to spoil the next one but I know what was top
of the box office and yet another live action
animated remake which is a great sign for cinema
by the way there you go sure
I am curious like does this mean
and I heard some rumbling I don't know like I think mac
Grading was like oh you know we're always kind of talking about
a new Simpsons movie will we see a live action
Simpsons movie before we get off this fucking
rotten planet or what? I'd rather be
dead. I'm with you. I'm
with Andrew on that one. It's going to
happen. I'm sorry folks, but it's
only going to be stuff.
Stuff you know. Here's the
thing though. I mean, the only way you can
feasibly do it to make it even
remotely watchable is
if you're dubbing whatever
fucking fleshbags you get
to play these characters with the
voice actors because that whole show
is tied to the brilliance of the voice actors
and if you're not having
Dan Castellanetta in a fucking fat suit
like I don't know what you're doing
that's one side of it but the other side
of it is that like what these live
action things have been doing more or less
is been taking out like
the imagination and the design
like the inventiveness of all that stuff
that goes into these and then
you have like a normal
looking dragon and how to train your dragon
it doesn't look like a goofy little thing
but something like this
who I really I really want to know who wants to see a like a kind of accurate depiction of Homer Simpson and the family like who would ever want to see that it's going to happen there's already look look there's already like a video I've seen it someone made like a fake like fan like it's the opening to the Simpsons in live action and it looked fucking horrible so like if you need any indicator of like what that would be find that video
want to punch yourself in the crotch for two minutes and that's what it'll be like just feature link
I have no desire to see that I'll bet Broadway show first oh that's good that would be great
that's fine you want to do that you go right ahead oh my assholes bleeding already just thinking
about it at least uh well what's his name who did all the music passed away but like all those
great tunes like oh yeah smashed into one simpson's thing it's kind of surprising that actually
hasn't happened yeah exactly alf claus that i want to say his name yes he's just
died recently
yeah he did
quick question
about that
to the how you're
to train
to train your
dragon fans
did you almost
say how to drain
your dragon
because I'll tell you
how to do that
in four easy steps
the browsers
XXXX
this ain't your
how to train the dragon
how to swap your son
no the question
is
why are some people
Scottish
and other people
like why is
big old
general
bootlet of talking like
this
and everyone else
is just talking
normal like
American wise
Oh, is that what's going on?
I don't even know.
Ask that about any Gerard Butler movie, right?
No, but he's like doing it big, you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
I just don't.
It's a silly voice.
I think for kids, it's a silly voice, and it's not really like, oh, well, what's the difference?
Is that, that's an American, that's an English, and that's a Scotsman, and they're all together.
Got it.
It's funny accents.
I mean, it's why there's like a bunch of, there's a bevy of accents in Star Wars.
It's true.
Yeah, it's true.
It's just is what it is.
Listen, I'd rather have Gerard just speaking like he speaks, maybe like, you know, cartoonishly a little bit.
But, like, I'd prefer that versus him trying to be Mike banning and flatten that accent out.
We got a real comment.
Greg Whitehead says it's an assortment of dragon killers from various regions.
So it is brought up in the film.
There you go.
There it is.
Question I had asked.
Wow.
Appreciate it.
Greg Whitehead fucking set you straight, Steve.
I don't need all the jokes.
all the time. A real answer will take
take me very far.
$83.7 million
for this fucking creatively bankrupt
shit. And
marking the biggest summer opening
for a movie topping Thunderbolts
which was $74 million.
And the thing is, it'll be interesting to see what
happens to this guy. It's going to run up against
competition immediately
that new Pixar movie, Elio
opens this Friday and it's a little kid
meat and gleepclops or whatever.
Really? No, I don't know where my...
I think it might hold
I mean this is the first time I've heard about
that Pixar movie and I'm in the business
look at me I'm in the business
Yeah
You're not wrong there dude
It could easily be that yeah
Because it is a known quantity whereas
Elio is absolutely not
I don't even know what that movie's about
At this point
No and like I have usually known
What like Encanto
Or the bones
Two
The name of it
Uh
For that
Coco
Coco yeah
Well, to be fair to it, I saw a little thing
on like Disney Plus and it's like a little kid that like meets aliens
or something like that. It looks kind of neat. You know, it's an interesting
thing and it's not a fifth toy story movie. So like...
That is, I give them that. That they haven't gone. I mean, they are doing that still.
They are. Exactly. Fully gone that way. I do wonder though, since this is now DreamWorks
doing the Disney thing of let's do our live action version of our biggest animated thing,
are you going to start seeing like the small, like are we going to get
the nut job live action
if this, like to see if that works for another
I got a link for that. I got a link for that
it's porn hub. Oh really?
Well, what you get what you're, what you're
forgetting there, what you're forgetting there
of course, DreamWorks, we already
had a stage musical of it. Shrek
is right there. Sure. Right.
Oh, yeah. So, yeah. But we're continuing
Shrek. Oh, maybe we're doing both
because we are doing a fifth Shrek it sounded like
or a re- Yep, a remaking of Shrek and then
it's coming. It's coming.
action track. You know what I'd like to see
a little live action Monsters
versus Alien and get a real
live action giant woman
sure. What, there's a giant woman in that movie?
Yes, there is. Monsters versus aliens.
There's a giant woman in that one.
She turns giant.
I think it's Rees Witherspoon.
I think it is Rees Witherspoon.
She crushes men like bugs.
Look at that.
Worms beneath their feet.
Sounds like you're getting more into it by the second.
absolutely
hey this Friday
what are you guys doing
I'm getting dinner
with a friend
no you're not
we are going to be right here on the internet
of course 9 p.m.

a lot of fun this
Friday the 20th
9 p.m. Eastern
we're going to be doing that and
whoops and it's going to be
everything you wanted to be in more
talking about Superman fucking two
one of the most divisive
superhero sequels of all time I feel
one of my most top five
most watched movies of all time for me
like I've seen this movie
have you seen it more than part one
yes for sure
I've seen it more than part one too
I mean this was on a lot
when we were young
for you people
it was eons ago
aons ago ask your grandparents
when that was on television
but I saw it so many times
and I always loved it
because those villains are so great.
And we're going to go through.
It's going to be a full episode.
We're going to talk about both versions, compare, contrast,
have some fun, have some laughs.
There's an after party where we're going to get sloppy out.
Slop city, and we're going to be answering your questions.
You know, so you buy a ticket.
They prompt you for a thing.
Hey, you want to ask a question?
Fill it out there.
Or if you're a patron, we will be putting out a thing on Patreon saying,

You're your friends. Yes.
Yes. Come on.
Do you like games? Stop. No, stop. We are the
only people that don't talk behind your back.
Think about that.
Think about that before you go out Friday night.
And if you're going on a date, that boy or girl
doesn't don't even like you. They probably don't.
It's all bad. You've been
just a bet to them. By the way, also
we should say it's available
to, like for 14 days after the event
you can still get in on the fun
and check it out.
But that boy or girl still don't like it. I mean, you can go
on the date if you want and then do the
thing, but they don't like you. You were just
a bet to them. You were just a bet.
That was, it was like, they're laughing at you.
They're laughing right now. They're laughing right now.
They're talking behind your back. They're laughing right
now. And also, man, this is
not, so we got a live stream here. We got a live stream
at the end of the week. We also got a live

to like going to the movies or a video store
or at home screening experience, but it doesn't
have to be. If you got a story about
vomit, I would love to hear that.
that's great um also if you've sent a story before and it hasn't been on the air but you think it

going to be reading letters, obviously plugging the Superman show, and more.
We usually tend to tell some personal stories that humiliated each and every one of us.
So, you know, that's great.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
Okay.
Now, because I went out of order here and I fucking got this stuff together, I am doing
top of the box office.
I know I forgot it at the top, but I want to do it.
We'll do it really quick here because I fucking got these goddamn posters.
Okay, dude, you got the pictures.
Here we go.
First one, on this day.
Top of the box office, June the 16th, the year 2000.
We did a, we covered this movie on a live show on the East Coast where a drunken audience
member was really concerned.
Gone in 60s.
There.
Wow.
Snake guy.
Another snake guy?
Yeah.
That guy was just like, talk about the part where there's a snake.
We're doing the show and then like two feet next to us is a guy screaming at us as loud as he
could.
And we'd already talked about it.
He did send a nice email apologizing about it.
I want to be clear.
He did.
Very nice.
But, you know, it was very funny that that.
It's all snakes under a bridge.
I am going to.
We were not on the West Coast.
We were in D.C. for that show.
I was.
Yes.
I was led astray.
Did I say, I was pretty sure.
I thought he's at East Coast.
I heard East Coast.
I'm only getting every other word.
I have COVID.
Well, let's see if you get every other movie selection.
Here we go.
On this day, top of the box office, June the 16th,
2011.
This is an amblin-esque film by a hot,
hot, hot, hot filmmaker at the time.
Oh, this is...
Super 8?
Boom.
Look at this.
I got to get COVID for the VHS trailer games.
It's true. If you keep this up,
you might have some points for the next episode.
On this day, June the 16th,
2024, so just last year,
this animated sequel was a massive success.
And my God, if they tried to bring it live
What is Moana 2?
Incorrect. Inside Out 2.
So close.
And then...
Those are three of those last year. Jesus.
Yeah, that's tough.
Yeah.
Top of the box office this day, June 16th.
2007, a not-so-super sequel
that we covered Chris Cabin on the West Coast,
as a matter of fact, had a live show in Portland, Oregon.
Okay.
Oh, fantastic, Four Rise of the Silver Surfer.
There it is.
Oh, boy.
I'll tell you what.
I re-watched that first.
one over the weekend just for shits and giggles
man it is like
firmly and like
anger inducingly
seated right in 2005
it's like the most dated feeling
regardless of like the movie being good or bad
which it is not good
just the 2005ness
of it all like the mid aughts stink
on that movie ooh allowing
that Andre Brower death to
happen oh in part two
that's in part two in real life
That also shouldn't have been allowed to happen, frankly.
Also, but like that one I think of all the time.
I do, I'm seeing a smattering of it, though, that 2005 won a little bit here and there
of people being like, you know, that one was pretty good.
Incorrect as I was a baby when it came out.
It's pretty good, actually.
You know the best time of my life is when I had no responsibilities?
That's true. That's true.
Too bad we had way too many responsibilities when that first Fantastic Four movie came out.
Otherwise, we could be sitting here 20 years later saying it's good, which it's not.
Sorry.
Yeah, whatever.
So there we go.
That's some top of the box office.
Wanted to get that out of there.
So here we go.
We're going to catch up on some stuff.
Again, it's been a minute since we've been on the air.
We got a lot to do before we do this big-ass trip to Oxford for the Oxford Comedy Festival.
We'll just plug that, of course, really quickly.
This July, the 18th through the 20th, we're going to be in Oxford, England.
Six shows, three nights.
Two of those shows are already sold out.
over to w hmpodcast.com to get all the ticketing information about that it is going to be a lot of fun
but that is why if you've been like what are these fucking mooks doing they do a show then they take
like three weeks off and now they're back and they're going to be off again it's because we got
a lot to lay down baby to make sure we don't have any other work to do in england besides
the task at hand we got so much going on i'm doing this with covid sweats had to take my shirt
off there for a second is that what that was oh that's interesting because i'm just sweating normally
No, these are special COVID-Switz.
It's really great.
That's awesome.
Turn the fan on here.
Jesus.
It has been hell.
I know it's not a real thing and it's fake and it's in my mind, but it has been kind of hellish going through it yet again.
Oh, man.
Well, it's one of those things where you feel good and then you do something.
Yeah, I shouldn't have done that.
And like, doing something, it's like, oh, I went out to the bathroom.
Oh, I shouldn't have done that.
Oh, that'll teach me to get up.
Yeah.
Oh, exactly.
Oh, all right.
So first up, let's chat about it.
We'll go in like, you know,
released farthest away up to more recently.
So let's talk about it. Tom Cruise, Mission Impossible,
the final reckoning, of course, very divisive final installment here.
I'll get out in front here and just say, you know, I enjoyed the movie.
I think I am just kind of like the laid-down simp for this franchise at this point.
I really over the years have fallen in love with it.
And to me, like, going into it, I was like, yeah, of course, it's the eighth one.
It's not going to be mind-blowing.
It's not going to be, you know, part six.
which I still think is like this you know the series highest watermark and it's not but like
I got to roll with my friends for three hours one last time and there was a bunch of stunts
and I did not feel I know the biggest complaint is like that first hour feels you know not
necessary and all over the place and whatever and for me like I was just into it if you look at it
is like that if seven and eight or one movie you're just kind of starting eight like in the
middle of a movie where like you would have some downtime such as it is so I don't know
It didn't bother me as much.
I had a good time with it.
I fucking cried at least twice.
You know, not cried, but like, out emotional.
Sure, yeah.
So anyway, that's my piece on the movie, tear it up.
I love the franchise, too, but I just can't really get behind this one.
There's so many of the flashbacks to this, that try to wrap up every single thing about the entire franchise.
What a waste of space.
You could have made this quicker.
We could have moved along faster.
By the way, little light spoilers, light spoilers.
Shea Wigham, I don't need him to be John Voight Jr.
I will agree that's dumb.
It's like, oh, no, handshake, because I'm good John Voight Jr.
Do you think Chris McQuarrie and Tom Cruise were watching the movie at the premiere and they were like, oh, fuck, that part got left in about John Voigt?
Because the rest of it, we deleted from the end of the movie.
Oh, no.
Because I will, I will confess that part, I was like, guys.
Yeah, not needed.
strong agree there i i i really didn't like it either i mean like i enjoy the last action set piece with the
plane yes honestly even great kill too great kill oh yeah uh to be quite honest i i was even let down
by the subsequence i know everybody loves the sub sequence i love it what i kind of agree it was
sloaf to me it was it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's wordless he's
doing Rafi, the high
scene from Rafifi under water, you guys.
No way, that's great.
What was Rafifi, 70 minutes?
It's just one of those things, though, about it.
It's sort of like...
Oh, no, it's two hours. They had to explain...
Oh, damn it. They had to explain
everything about it for an hour and a half. And they were
explaining it in the last movie. Like, it was so built up,
and it was so, like, the reason
they were talking, the reasons
of the thrilling part is like, oh, man, he might get
hypothermia and die if it gets to this level
on that level and I was like I don't care about
any of that shit like I just
that's where I was at and I just honestly
like this one my last piece is
great cast everyone is sitting on their hands
looking at Tom Cruise and I know that's sort of
the stock and trade of this franchise but
other movies have done it much much better and other
movies have used this cast much better
including Palm Club and Teeth and
Simon Pegg etc
I think once we let
him go and he's out
doing the thing, it's good.
But the problem is there is
90 minutes before that happens.
And maybe close to
70, don't get into my argument here
with this. It's around that area.
And you can't
every other one of these movies, including
the last one, has
at least that first hour grabs you.
And you're immediately into it and you don't
have any, you're not doubting
what's happening. The problem with
making me doubt it for an hour and some
minutes is that like, yeah, I have to
warm myself a little bit. Thankfully, they have
that great submarine sequence
when they're down with Katie
from O'Brien
Lies Bleating, Katie O'Brien, and
the guy from Severance, who is great.
He is really fucking good.
Trimel Tillman, yeah, dude, Tremel Tielman.
Look out for Trimel
Tielman, dude, that guy is going to be one of our next
biggest movie stars. He's amazing.
But I thought the submarine thing
was great. I thought the
showdown of Gabriel was great.
And that's enough to make it like, okay in my book.
But it's, again, to Eric's point, it's a two out, it's almost three hours, right?
Yeah, it's like a full three hour of two 50 something.
Yeah.
And like that is, it's too much to be allowing for a full hour where I did, I felt like,
guys, just go.
Stop trying to set the fucking table.
Just go.
That is the one thing you are allowed if this is like a two part thing.
You can just hit the ground running.
You don't have to explain your shit to me.
as much as I like seeing all
these actors, including
Shane William and
Wittigan from
Ted Lassow, Waddingham.
Hannah Waddingham,
doing a pretty decent American
accent, which was very confusing for me.
Yes. That's pretty good.
Fine and good, except for, like,
I need you to just start running.
And Tom Cruise is usually good at that.
And this time he wasn't. So it did,
it is my least favorite of this, for sure.
Easily.
I put it behind number two
Number two is still my least favorite
Really?
Yeah, he was a much better movie to me
I kind of agree with that
I know people love the wooness of two
But man, Doug Ray Scott
I'd rather have fucking Jim Phelps Jr.
I mean if he
If it like mattered at all
That he was Jim Phelps Jr.
Then he should have been like the secret villain
Of the movie.
Sure.
You know what it's just such a dumb
dumb detail
it's so fine
I'm looking at the chat
you know there's some questions like
how did he survive in the water that long
news flash it's a movie
like that's that kind of shit
I'm like why are you bothering with the headspace
it's a movie
that's why did the hero get hypothermia
and die halfway through the movie
I don't know
halfway through the movie you're like
it's like oh my god
is he gonna make it is he gonna get out of this water
he's getting out of the water I know
exactly that's still be tense
like that's a thing is it's not like
that scene wasn't
the tense, but, like, the one thing
I can say about these movies is I'm never
like, well, how does that make any
sense? Oh, yeah. You can't.
How did Captain America do that?
Well, it's, he's a super human.
It's a movie. It's just a movie.
It's not even a movie thing. It's this character
specifically. Yeah.
Does not do this.
Like, he always survives.
The religious,
the nigh religious
insistence that he's
going to make it through. And, like,
I will gamble the entire,
of the human race.
The stake is too high.
I'm sorry, this is my other problem with it.
It's gotten to science fiction with the entity.
The stakes are far too high.
You know, a nuke going off and so and so and two million people might die.
The entirety of the human race.
Also, I appreciate them attacking AI or whatever,
but it's like, what is the end game of Gabriel even?
And then I control it.
And then I guess, if so fact, do I run the world or whatever?
I don't know.
Is anyone, is anyone?
to store the internet. But like there's, I mean, I'm sorry, but there are bond villain things
with the exact same notion and no one's like, is he really thinking about the outcome of his
plan? Of course not. Again, it's a movie. I don't have to sit with it for three
a goddamn hours either though. That's the thing. Well, I think Blofeld had some good ideas and
they made more sense. But I also think part of the issue with this film is that it's stilted
because it was stopped so many times during production because I think there was
at least the writer's strike or something or the SAG strike took it out of commission.
So then they're like cobbling it together at the back end.
I think also COVID's had something to do with these backs.
I think we were still dealing with that when we were shooting a certain scene.
I know.
The thing is with I am fine with the nuke being the thing.
But then this does have to be the last Mission Impossible movie.
That's why I firmly think it is because there's no like, I mean, Steve, you're right.
There's nothing you can do that takes it above the stakes of this movie.
like it's not a movie where he's going to like go to mars and fight some threat and that's why it's just it's the biggest they could get and like to then make another one where it's like yeah like you said steve like oh there's a nuke somewhere out west and it's like the audience isn't going to care anymore you know what i mean so i think like in a way it's like you kind of force the stoppage of this franchise by taking it that high and it's like what do we do but the ending to me does not signal that it is going to end i guess that's my my my
Another issue I had is that the end does not feel like a finality at all to me.
Tom is done.
I think the movies will continue with someone else.
I mean, that's entirely possible.
I'd be there.
I'd be there if that was the case.
Another against Tom, I would just be interested in seeing.
I like the more team ones, even, again, like Fallout, which we did.
I just, I think that there's more like, oh, I'm going to run and do this.
You'd do that.
Like, I thought the shootout at the end that the other part of the people were doing was super boring and lame.
And the bomb thing was okay.
but it wasn't great, you know, I just
And that one character was like, why am I even
here? I guess I'll just stay here and maybe
die. Yeah, exactly. I like
the dude from Maverick.
Yeah, I actually, I, oh,
him, yeah, no, but Ralph Saxon from the first
movie, I did like him in his, oh, God.
Oh, yeah, that's a door. Rolf Saxon as
Knife Guy is like, it's
honestly one of the highlights of the movie for me,
like, and it's, it was
great because it's not just like,
you remember Knife Guy? Yeah,
he's back. Like, the
dude and his awesome
wife are like instrumental to the end
of the movie it's way more than like a two
second cameo I was expecting like
it to be like oh yeah knife guy
and then he gets like shot in the head immediately and the fact that
he had like so much to do in the movie
I was really pleased with like he definitely earned
that character poster there's no doubt about it
yeah I don't know
I mean if it goes the other way though you're talking
about the finality of it whatever
then he gets something like no time
to die which like
that's like one of the biggest
wet fart like you tried finality in a very real way
and boy that sucked even more
I fell asleep during that movie that is my
of all the things that we have to get done before we go to Oxford
I'm told myself because I need to we're going to talk about
casino uh not casino rail uh quantum of solace correct I want to have seen
the whole Craig thing and I still haven't seen that yet
that is like the bottom of my fuck I have to do this
it sucks so bad I have to watch this piece of shit I know that it sucks
it sucks so bad and that's when it's like
Like, if you ever, like, you know, I immediately thought about it, specifically when I saw people like, oh, the end of this movie ends like all of those Mission Impossible movies with the crew looking at each other, nodding and going away.
Yes, that's how a lot of those movies actually end.
And immediately, I just was like, the other side of that is no time to die, which is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
And it's also two hours and 43 minutes.
Like, fucking John Wick 4, too.
Like, let's just cool it with the grand finale of your action.
franchise. How about you make it fun
and exciting like the other ones were? How about
that? I think you plotted. That'd be
fun. John Wick 4, I think
actually does feel final. I know
it's not now, but when I watched
it, it did actually feel like a
final moment. Sure. And that I just
didn't feel with, I didn't feel with James Bond and I
didn't feel with this. John Mc4, you could cut it an hour
out of that movie and you'd just fine.
I can't wait for it. I love that. Johnwick
5. Yeah, I think I'm a clone now.
Oh, dude. Yes.
The John Wick
laboratory and it's just an army of
clones of John Wick. Wait, hold on.
You killed, it's me, Ben Wick.
You killed my twin brother, John Wick.
Right, exactly. I'm thinking the
twin is back now.
By the way, Benwick, I'm actually
kind of more of a cat guy.
Oh, no, and now Benwick's
cat's in trouble. Oh, no.
Looks like your cat
didn't have nine lives after
our Benwick.
Etcetera. We got to get
going here because we are almost at the top of the
are Jesus Lord. See, even you're trying to talk about Mission Impossible, the conversation
goes too long. It's way too long. So here we go. New one from
Wes Anderson, the Phoenician scheme. Oh, can I say? I was scheming to see this
this weekend, but then COVID had other ideas. Yeah, so this is out from
Focus Features. It's not doing as hot as Asteroid City did, but I don't care and I don't
think Wes Anderson cares. I think this was like the movie of his eye.
enjoyed the most while i should say liking asteroid city quite a bit this is the most i've liked
a movie of his since grand budapest i was i was really into it i i i think this movie is really
fucking fun it's probably his funniest movie minute for minute shot for shot there's just jokes all
over the place it's it's goofy in a great way the cast is fantastic uh i i i'm with you ander i think
that that this is one of my favorites of his in the last 10 years for sure yeah i mean i as you all know
I love this guy.
Asteroid City, I think, is incredible.
I think he's just been hitting home runs nonstop.
The one thing I will say about this that I really liked about this is that it feels like
he's taking a lot of lessons he learned in the sprawl of Asteroid City and Grand Budapest
and the French dispatch, which are big, huge stories with insane amounts of characters.
And he's bringing all the tightness that he found and all that and like the framings of that.
He is putting towards a smaller story, one that,
feels much more like the
pre-Dargealing era, like
where we're talking, like life aquatic,
Royal Tennen bombs, Rushmore.
That kind of relationship feels like what's
at the center of this one. And I really love him and
his daughter, Yusufooro, and his
one daughter.
That, it's
just an incredibly funny movie. It's an incredibly
moving movie. I think the acting
is crazy. And of course, I mean, it's West Anderson.
So it all looks nuts.
It's just, I mean, frame for
frame, it is probably one of his most
beautiful movies just in terms of what he was able to
just cram in there and just
like you know what I mean like he's got complete control
over the box that he is
working within you know oh yeah I mean
those kinds of like precision movements and
details and things like that
that harkened back to like tenenbounds for me I think
tenenbounds is one of his most like detail
oriented movies
and I thought it was I thought it was great I think this is the best
Benicio's been in a really long time I liked him in no sudden move
and you know he's fine in the little bit that he's
in French dispatch but like
reptile dora and the lost city of gold people liked him in that escape of danamora the ben stiller show
he's very good in that uh-huh but then you got like you know sacario two and whatnot so it's been
a while since i've seen him like really rock in a movie that he's it's hit like he's yes in every scene
more or less which kind of fun like you know he's been riding shotgun with west for a little while you
know he's in uh what is he's in grand budapest right or he's up with french french dispatch he's so good
French Dispatch, but that's like
a smaller role. Like, this is
Benicio just gets to run with it.
It's so fun. Yeah, no,
it's great. I'm looking, yeah, I don't think
he had worked with him before French
dispatch. Yes. Does not look like it.
Yeah, no, I thought it was great. I was also like
I like that it was still
like a little nasty, a little sour,
a little cynical. And that
brought me back to like Life Aquatic. I think Life Aquatic
is a very like sour, can be like
nasty at times kind of vibes in that
movie. So I was
all over it, yeah. I think that it also fights
and I don't think intentionally either, but I think, you know, it's not like,
I don't think Wes Anderson reads what people say about a shit, but I think it fights a lot
of the, the stuff that comes up with the West Anderson stuff, the genteelness, which I never
get, because this movies always have weird violence in them, emotional or otherwise.
Like, if you watch them, they're actually pretty, pretty aggressive, but like,
color me, no emotion. Color me no emotion. It's not, not good. Pastel me no emotion.
Exactly. I don't know.
understand so cold
that and plus like there's a lot
of talk about wealth of this movie that's actually kind of
interesting as it goes on and like
what the message of it minds of being
which again people are always like oh it's just a bunch of rich
people just sitting around drinking tea
or whatever the fuck have you seen the movie
no no it's it's watch it no because what it
what that is dude that's the same people that are like
Martin Scorsese only make gangster movie
exactly yeah it's the same thing
so they're stupid on both counts
we're gonna keep it going here
to keep this train going.
This one, a little more recent,
a little direct to Hulu action,
and a little animated, that's right,
Predator, Killer of Killers,
which came out back on June 6th
and was indeed also directed by Dan Tractenberg
who did Prey and is doing this new one,
but this is sort of like animatrix almost,
like for the Predator World,
which I thought, like,
I thought the story parts I was totally vibing with,
I could not get on board with the animation
and I thought because I'd seen someone else
I shouldn't take credit for it. Someone else said
and it was actually maybe Henry Gilbert
of Talking Simpsons that it's like
the Animatrix thing and
because of that I thought okay
this first segment I'm not vibing
with the animation thankfully there'll be other segments
that will look differently like the Matrix
like the Animatrix had different styles
for all the shorts and it did not
it's this like stutter step missing frame
kind of animation that I've seen in other things
and I couldn't get into it but like I loved the violence
I thought the three stories were cool except
like the first two kind of feel a little bit of the same I guess but it doesn't
matter I just my biggest bummer aside from the animation was like
as this thing comes together around like the end of it when you're in the final
part of the movie I was like why are you bothering to wrap it up like this
not to spoil anything but I thought the way they wrap it up was incredibly dumb
but you know contrasting thing I did like the animation I
I agree with the low, like that weird frame rate they were doing with it.
I don't really like, but I thought the drawings were pretty sharp and they had some, you know,
the drawings had some sharp knives and they fought each other and it was fun.
I'm just happy to hear Eric Siska liking an anime movie.
I always like everybody on its own.
This is propaganda that anyone says differently.
I, you know, I gave this three stars.
I liked it more or less.
I don't, don't see the need to connect it all at the end because it's kind of like, okay, so how
does that happen do they wait thousands of you whatever i'm not going to totally spoil it
yeah one thing i did like about this is the attempted world building with within predator
because i feel like predator it's always the same thing he comes down to earth he shoots a guy
the end and a lot of the segments were just that again with the vikings and the samurai but i like
the one in war war two and i don't really i don't know there's stuff about the story that's
not obviously perfect at all but you're showing me predator area
combat, and I don't think we've ever seen that
before. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't think so. Maybe one of those AVPs, I don't remember
it. I don't remember. I just
like the attempt to world build
and this, this Dan fella
seems to have a good head on his shoulders with this franchise.
I wonder if this is all
leading up to Badlands.
Something is going to be feeding from
this into Badlands. I was
also with you
that like the end, the
cone heads ending.
Dude. I was going to bring it up,
someone else did it, but it is just the end of the Garthon.
Yes.
Yeah, and I would rather seen the Garthon.
I just, I didn't like that.
But also like a little bit, my problem with it is it did feel like, well, you like
Predator.
How about Predator with Game of Thrones?
You like that?
Yeah.
Well, okay.
How about Predator with the Samarite?
You got like that?
Okay.
How about your predator with your top gun slash Air Force One?
Because he says the line.
How about that?
I think does like it up.
I still haven't seen it.
Honestly, what do you call it?
Black's was it Predators or?
No, the Predator.
Predators was the Adrian Brody
Nimrod Atal film.
Yes. The Predator left such a bad
taste in my mouth. I never watched prey.
I wanted to. You got to watch. I know pray is great. I want to get to pray.
I love prey. I'm just sort of like, oh, more
predators? Question mark. But I know that I'm wrong.
I know that I'm wrong. Yes. You are, you are 100%
wrong on that. You should watch that movie. It is
fucking great. I think both
the Shane Black and the Nimrod Atal movies,
both of them, I fell asleep with
in like half an hour and I've never seen the whole thing of either.
I never really felt like motivated to go back.
I've seen them and you shouldn't bother.
But,
check out prey.
Check out prey in the Comanchee cut.
I like the Comanchee cut more than English.
Last thing about it,
I'll complain about the middle segment,
the like Feudal Japan samurai segment.
I thought that's where the animation style suited it best.
But,
I didn't like that there's, like, one sentence of dialogue in it.
And I don't know what, I was like, do you not want to have, like,
Japanese voice actors do that?
Like, I didn't understand, like, what the issue was,
but it was driving me crazy, especially because on the other two sides,
the other segments are very talk heavy.
Yeah.
And this was just silent for no reason that I could really figure out.
And then, like, a dude says, like, one thing to another dude at the end.
And that was it.
And I was like, ah, why couldn't,
they'd be talking while they're fighting this guy.
It made it harder to get into the action that way.
I guess they're quiet people, at least back then.
That's what the movies tell them.
I guess. I don't know.
Yeah, so that was just some, you know, recent release stuff that had, you know, some hefty notices and ad campaigns and whatnot.
But not all movies you guys can have those kinds of massive $40 million ad campaign runs.
And when that happens, sometimes they fall through the cracks and we pick them up on a segment we like to call Secret Movie.
All right.
Now, Eric Siska, your solo on one here is something that we actually tried to catch it south by.
Yes.
But the schedule didn't work out.
But I wanted to include it, even though you were the only one that saw it, because you had some high praise for it.
So this is the surfer with Nick Cage.
I really liked it.
I was expecting, you know, a dirt movie, right?
Like one of these pieces of course.
crap, he churns the hell out.
Unflingers. I expected, like, you know, just fighting on the beach or something.
But I was very pleasantly surprised.
It's well-directed, well-shot.
It looks like a real movie. It's refreshing to see Nick Cage in a real movie.
And it does certain things that it's like, okay, good move.
Like, he plays an Australian, but he doesn't have the accent.
Yep.
You just get it out of the way.
I grew up in California.
And now I'm coming back to try to buy my grandfather's old house.
and he gets hassled by the locals.
You know, if you don't, don't live here, don't surf here.
Oh, shit.
But then it's like a lot of it's him in this parking lot,
like trying to like get the deal on the house done on the phone,
dealing with these local ruffians.
And then it starts to spiral.
It's kind of a perfect role for Cage because then it's start,
you start questioning reality.
Like, wait, is he crazy?
Is he that character?
Is he what's happening here?
I'm not going to spoil any more of it
but as someone who had moved to a small
idyllic town where I
didn't get along with the locals
but wanted to be accepted
and never was it really hit home for me
I really had a good time watching this
this was in the I was really in the
the COVID had me
wrapped up in a blanket while I was watching this
so take it for what you will
so part of the love could have been a fever
dream related but yeah
but I if the dreams to be
you know considered I
did like it. Oh, with a hazard association. Your door is the wrong
coloring dude. Exactly. Exactly. You can't
pack a boatily do and you drive wily gee.
You guys are, wait, I thought only, I thought only I saw
this movie. You guys are doing the quotes from it. Man, oh,
my wife learned an amazing Australian slang term yesterday and I
fucking forgot already. But ever since we watched that
uh traumatizing documentary about that fucking uh uh ghost house fire or whatever the haunted house fire
and they were calling bikers bikies oh yeah i've been obsessed with australian slang i love bikey uh yeah
so that's that's awesome man i definitely wanted to check out the surf right did not have enough time
this weekend uh but yeah i definitely will be uh and then the last i think all four of us watch
this one and this is definitely firmly rooted in secret movie territory only if because it stars
Scott Atkins. It is his new one Diablo.
Oh yeah. Hell yeah. This movie, Steve, we should let you take it away. This was your
intro to the Adkinsaverse. It is. It's my first time with, I mean, I saw Adkins and John
McFour and maybe he's been in other movies that I've seen in lower, lower levels. But this is
my first like Scott Adkins joint. And I was sort of like, you know, okay, you know, it's kind
of cool fighting. You know, the Milkkeek fist, uh, cinematography was like,
a little bit much for me. I was kind of bored
until we get to that bar sequence and all
hell breaks loose and I'm like, oh, this movie's
excellent. This movie's awesome. I'm way into
is it Marco Zororor, the other guy?
Yeah. He is fantastic. You know,
you know, in Mark Strong cosplay, which I love.
Yes, but when he showed up on the screen, I was like,
wait a second, is that Scott Atkins in a bald cap? Is he played two roles?
Dude, I thought the exact same thing.
looking at the poster art even
I was like wait a second
by the way
in from the internet Chelsea just
texted me apparently a slang
term for a mailman down there
is a postie
oh man like the posties coming down
the road oh my god
beautiful language you guys got to him
this movie's awesome
but as Scott Adkins plays a dude
I don't want to give too much away honestly
and you shouldn't watch the trailer
he kidnaps a teenage girl for righteous reasons i'll say uh and then has to like fight off
other dudes who are also trying to kidnap this teenage girl right what's funny too is he's
kind of dressed like Travis bickle throughout yes yeah that's well a lot of it is him driving this girl
in a car so it sort of works out of car driver it has i think steve you said it on on letterbox
it has an outright luneitunes final action moment that is so awesome so sure
The fights are great.
The fights are great.
Yes.
I love the part where Scott Atkins is reluctantly fighting an entire football team.
Yes, yes.
Yeah, that gas station parking lot fight.
Yep.
And Markozoor, again, dresses Mark Strong with a really, any lighting hits this thing.
That guy shaved his head yesterday.
Yes.
He cut this like metal arm that he can remove the fist and then there's a knife underneath.
what you need. That's it. That's the movie. Beautiful. That's smart. That's smart because you get rid of the cane. You don't have to even bother with the cane. Why even have the cane if you just have the cane top as your arm and your hand? That's all easy as hell. Oh, wow. Tony King in from the UK says they call them posties over there too. Maybe you'll see a postie in a couple weeks. Hell yeah.
I'm going to see a posty. We're going to start speaking the kings over there. Don't worry about it. Zerore also in John Wickford, but also look for a movie called Fist's a movie.
the Condor that he stars in.
Crazy. It's also directed by
this guy whose name
Ernesto Diaz Espinosa.
Yeah, he also directed that movie. He's done
a couple things with Marco Zura.
Marco Zura is a Chilean actor.
Yeah, just
that dude's awesome, man. Honestly,
like it's like if
Jaws the Bond villain was just running
around like a shitty DTV movie.
You know what I mean? That's kind
of what it felt like, but like good. I know
that made it sound like I was like talking shit about
But, like, I watched all 91 minutes of this last night just gleefully.
It's charming.
It's so, it's just a fun movie.
And, like, it doesn't, there's no fat to it.
It moves.
And I do, in the last, like, 30 minutes, I am so happy that everybody learned the right lessons from ambulance and was like, we're just using drone cameras for these fucking action movies.
And we're going to get nice, big shots.
Yeah, they get some real good ones.
I mean, again, this is kind of, you know, listen, a lot of these movies are garbage.
but like when you get one that's well made
and also like it's good with the resources that it has
what that equates to a lot of the time is like
just finding random on location spots to film things
and this is one of those they were like
we found this thing and it's got a big fucking conveyor belt on it
how can we write the end of the movie around it
and they did and then you put drones around a real thing
with real people climbing and like it just looks great
it looks like a movie that they would have made in like 1996
dude them running up that thing
towards the conveyor belt.
I was getting exhausted.
I was just like, Jesus Christ.
Hell yeah, dude.
That thing is a Christ almighty.
Yes, it's super fun.
It's very silly, but in all the right ways.
It's movies for guys that like movies.
The old Spike TV, whatever.
It's a Dad for Noon classic.
Absolutely.
Total Dad for a Noon movie, yes.
