What's going to be. Live. This is our show for Monday the 15th of December if you can even believe it. My name is Andrew Jupin and I'm alongside three other guys who survived the snowstorm of yesterday. We have Eric Siska. Yes, I shoveled. I see other people in the chat shoveled probably, Cape Cod. People

are doxing themselves in the chat, giving their addresses. I love it. Just to say you shoveled dude. And so no, no chest pains or anything like that when you're out in the driveway? You got an electric thing? Oh, no, I wear a bra so it's all. Oh, I see. That's good. Good morning, Chris Cabin. Good morning. How's everybody doing?

I also was outside. Salting. I was salting a lot this morning. Oh, I did that too. You're getting salty? Yeah, yeah. I did a lot of salting. I am salty as well. Some nice, some cracked pepper on the driveway as well. It's really nice.

Olive oil, you know, just for dipping. And of course, my brother in having a superintendent who does that for us, Mr. Steven Sadek. That's right. I bravely laced up my boots, got out there and went to the bar. That's what I was like, you know what? got to do someone's gonna do it god damn it that's right dude i was braving the braving the cold on saturday night myself going to the bar you gotta do it man gotta keep these bars open during the cold weather also cold weather it's the best

time to be at a bar because it's cozy and it's warm and you're warm because you're intoxicated it's just great uh what's going on in the chat aaron n yc 89 mason two five one one timothy batsin eighty three sucked i'm so Rachel Kevin Lynch 849 Busairus there he is I Mr. Brian Aaron 644 and the rest of y'all How are you? How's everybody doing? We're going to get into all of our box office stuff and this, that, and the other thing. But it is the elephant in the room and we're going to get it out of the way last night. My God, we learned we lost Bob Bob. Oh my God, just I can't even. Rob Reiner. We just lost him. I will say We'll keep this brief Dude directed some amazing fucking movies

Acted in a bunch more of them I will say one of the things I thought about How great he is in Wolf of Wall Street Regardless of like movies he directed One of the first things I thought about last night Was him in Wolf of Wall Street How friggin funny he is in that movie I forgot she was even in that I need to go back

Oh yeah It's his dad I think And he's watching But he's watching a TV show And he's pissed off that he's like a famous this, they made a movie. Is it wise guy maybe or? No, it was one of those.

It is one of those. And he's just so pissed off that he's missing it. It's unbelievable. I mean, like, he was such a fucking funny presence in movies. It was a bummer because he had an amazing director's career. But he would have just, he was always a delight to show up in stuff. He would always pop up and things. You know what I mean?

It was equalizer is the TV show getting from the chat there. Oh, yes, yes. Equalizing. Yes. Is spinal tap? one of the most important comedies ever made, like number four. If you had to make that list, is it like three or four? It's

up there. It's up there. It's up there. It's up there. I mean, like, it's up there. I mean, honestly, it's up there not only just for like what that movie is, but what that movie like spawned and like gave comedy going forward. Influence was his bag and he really was all

his major movies influenced more than I can count. Like, when Harry met Sally, spinal tap, princess bride these three things alone you know and there are other ones by him that i like but those are the three i always think about those three are it is you cannot count how much they've just been ripped off plainly or just influenced things they it's unfreaking believable if you went to count how many can i talk at a school about chris cavett and rob bryner for a second oh yes go ahead i think andrew knows where i'm going with this uh in college when we lived with

Chris there was a period and I want to say it was six to ten months when you watched at like three o'clock in the morning a few good men at full volume absolutely for for that it was always you would just wake up you can't handle the truth

and like who ordered the code red that is too many good men that's too many good men Chris Cabin I was in of course I was in the script writing school at the time stupid stupid and while doing that, of course,

you have your sork. I mean, if you grew up in the 90s at any point, you have a sorkin bit and you just, you either get done with it in a month or you take a couple years like I did. And like, I just was obsessed with the way he wrote for a while. It's a great movie. And it's a really good movie.

I still, that is the one I wasn't thinking about. That one does not have the influence because it's a sort. To me, it is more of a sorkan movie than it is a Riner movie. It's remembered more as a really good movie. It's an ass magnet to beat all ass magnets. That thing's, oh, yeah. You're not going anywhere. And, you know, not to be absent from the party stand by me as far as like Stephen King adaptations go.

I mean, as far as like cultural milestone movies and like careers that that film, you know, skyrocketed. Like you just think about like the the careers and like, you know, folks that this dude touched and it goes like so far beyond. just fucking meathead but like he was amazing playing meathead you know what I mean? So like just a big big loss and Castle Rock was the company that signed Seinfeld you know what I mean you could just like

you want to talk about important things in comedy like holy shit you know what are you without that still with TV I mean the the stuff he did on New Girl and the stuff he did on the bear were both absolutely fantastic and I think he just knew God I forgot about him on the bear yeah yeah he's he's really good on the bear

and I just And, yeah, of course, I've soured on his films in the layer, as everybody did. But, like, it's his presence that I always think of more than anything. Like, it's having him around to talk about this stuff and to have a little bit in a TV show or a movie and actually lift it up a little bit. Give it some, you know, a little speed there. Yeah, I always love Princess Bride. And I went back to it. And I was like, as an adult, will I still love this?

Yes, I do. Yeah. Yeah. That's one that I think, like, oh, misery also. like that's one where it's like you could so easily see like the fan base and just like you know just how huge that is

outside of the movie you could see going back to it and being like oh man like so many things the fan base kind of ruined it for me but it's good to know that that didn't happen for you Eric yeah well it's infinitely quotable just like a lot of his films yeah yeah and you know as a heavy man that had a beard

I think it's important to recognize his influence on all of us when your chin starts to fade away you're like well Rob Reiner's pulling off. Exactly. Yeah. He figured it out decades ago. He fucking walked so we could run as chinless dudes with

beards. So, yeah, rest in peace to Robin and Michelle Reiner. Real fucking tragedy there. But less of a tragedy, of course. The box office going full steam as much as it can. We'll change the subject here. Talk some numbers. This is highest gross.

All right, this was nice. I had to change out everything, but one movie, because in it number five this weekend, now you see me, now you don't. Still, still in theaters, everybody. Still doing its thing here. Week five, $2.4 million. That's, yeah. Hungry for Eisenberg, I guess.

I think the nation is like, we need more eyes on bird. It's been a while. We thirst for him, right? Yes. Yeah, I mean, this is thirsty, man. Around the globe, $208 million. This movie costs $90 million to make. Because I was going to say, if everybody in the cast, the principal cast, saw it twice, that would be $2.4 million right there.

So that kind of doesn't even count. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't see two, and I don't think it'll be a rental for me. I don't know. Yeah. Coming in at number four, this is cool to see on here. Durandar from Yash Raj Films in its second week,

pulling another $3.5 million, which brings its two-week total to around $8 million, which is really solid, just looking at numbers from last year. Indian Cinema in 24 was doing a lot better than it is this year, so it's nice to see this guy getting it in. Just 377 screens, by the way, so not too shabby.

I just watched the trailer. Ooh, spooky, scary. There's a lot of torture and stuff in there. Oh, really? Yeah, I don't know. Anybody in the chat see this movie? Familiar with what it is or anything? I do want to see it very badly.

This has been a pretty... I haven't even heard of, like, Indian blockbusters. I should check out. I usually hear of a couple of that. And then this year, I've gone absolutely none. Even last year, like, Jawan. There were a couple other big ones. So I was like, oh, okay.

this is usually what I get this year nothing yeah yeah so this is this is cool to see it pop up here definitely probably be a rental for me I can't make it to the whatever you know these movies it's great that they play here but a lot of the time you'll get like the 2 p.m. yeah on a Wednesday at the Empire 25 in Times Square and it's like am I going to make that yeah you know um but we'll see uh so anyway moving along here number three boy oh boy this uh is not what they hoped it would be here as far as legs go. Speaking of torture, ladies and gentlemen.

No, I think it for good. Yes, another 8.5 mil here. Look at this, 312 domestically. But interestingly, not working as well around the globe, 467 globally. The first one in its similar week that it's in now. So we're at 8.5 in its fourth week. The first movie's fourth week pulled 20.

$23 million. So to give you the cliff that this is Wicked for good, not for me is kind of where we're at. I didn't like the first one. And hearing that this one is significantly worse, I'm like, no way. Well, I mean, I didn't think it was significantly worse.

I thought it was more of the same, but it's like that thing where like you go see a Broadway musical, right? And after the intermission, you know, a good chunk of the time, like the second act is shorter. And, you know, depending upon the story, maybe there's not as much to clean up or deal with or whatever so you're watching it you're like oh wow it's over already like

wow that second act went pretty fast this is kind of the proof in the pudding that this didn't need to be two movies because there's not a lot going on like you know she uh runs away for a little bit comes back does a few like domestic terror attacks on on oz and the emerald sea and then it's like it's over with and you're kind of like okay so let me ask you question you know the broadway folks can weigh in uh wicked you go to the you go see wicked the play before the movie existed halfway through they say please exit the theater buy another ticket yes every time yeah that is essentially what that harry potter musical was because it was like a two-night two-night fucking commitment like that is nuts yeah yeah they have since uh shortened it

i think as of like a few years ago to make it heaven forbid one stop to see the movie they knew they had some addicts on their hands so they knew that they could play and shit like that And just be like, yeah, people are going to pay for it. Of course they're going to fucking pay for it. As much as you can squeeze out of those rubs, dude. Absolutely, no doubt about it. Speaking of rubs coming in at number two, I didn't like the first one, so I stayed away from this.

Five nights at Freddy's dose here in week two, another 19.5 million for this sequel to the video game adaptation here. And look at this. I mean, my God, 96 million domestic, 174 global. It cost a budget of 30. million dollars but i will say as far i mean it's made good money had a good first week 70% drop in week too though not looking so hot well i the movie looks like it what it's based on which is bad pizza so that's important but that's what people yearn for now steve i need to watch these freddie

movies they're taking the world by storm i didn't see the first one i really need to remedy that we need you know what you just you just hit it in the nail on the head what bothers me about this we need Robert England back. We need Freddie needs to go back to the nightmare franchise. Now because you say Freddie to these kids, they're like, oh, Freddy, it's an animatronic bear or something. You're right. Or whatever goes out of these movies.

They're starting to forget about Freddie. They can't come back unless they remember. Exactly. I want people to remember the OG Freddie. You know what? Let's bring back the OG Freddy. Let's watch Freddy and Jason. Here's some, Freddy versus Jason, see some language there

and see. No, no. Oh, wait. That's not going to be ever happening. Oh, boy. Yeah, I mean, it's just, I watched that first one. It was pretty slow, kind of knotted off here and there. It's one of those things. It's like that Joe Begos movie I was telling you about. I like Joe Begos as a director.

He made that movie where it was like a robot Santa killing people, and the robot Santa doesn't talk. And I don't find silent robots all that terrifying from a movie watching point of view. No, more funny. Chopping mall is funny. that's what's funny about it yeah that stuff is super goofy yeah but if you're trying to lean into like and not that these movies are like overly serious obviously i understand that but like i'm just not getting scared by it and they're like kind of too slow moving for me to like get caught up in it

that's just maybe maybe in part two they get like rockets on roller skates or something Andrew you're saying you really feel those five nights it's like you're there oh dude it was like buying a ticket to the harry potter musical i'd have fucking come back five nights where you don't get to sleep much. That's not. Right. Yeah, exactly. Scary. But this is, boy, we're talking a lot of twos here, of course, because it's modern American movie making. But happy for this one because it's on my movie fantasy league, Zootopia 2. Wow. Coming in week three here, another 26.3 million dollars. My God, this thing's pretty much. Well, I can't stand this poster. Could you put that back up on the screen for a second? Look at this poster. Have you ever seen a walk and don't walk

sign say two or one I don't know what they're supposed to do there how are they supposed to cross the street that's letting you know because it's a world of you know animals it lets you know you just shit you know because they're just walking around shitting all over the right I'm seeing the hidden messaging this is like looking at the one dollar bill and finding the

Illuminati there's a snake in there right and this is a snake focused film yes so it's saying snakes can cross the street only and you can see an elephant there and who has the biggest shits in the world I mean clearly elephants yeah So it's right there.

You know how big of a shit. Oh, I think about Republicans. Okay, no, that makes more sense too. The president has the greatest largest. Fowel movements, yeah, maybe. Again, much like Five Nights of Fridays, I watched the first one. And this, like, I thought it was fine. But does anybody have a year on that first one?

I feel like that first Utopia movie was a while ago, right? Yeah, we did watch that. I thought it was fun and fine. I don't think I'm going to go back to the second one. If you're, you know, you're hip to like Jason Bateman voice in a fox that wears a tie and carries a briefcase. Sure. all right, you know, and they got into cute adventures or whatever. But this, this, my God, you guys, I mean, this is a massive, massive movie.

Domestically alone, $259 million in three weeks. Then we're looking at overseas $1.12 billion, okay? $502 million of that is in China alone, which is bunked out. Chats saying 2016, so this is nine years, nine years? Yeah. Yeah. The kids that saw Zootopia are one or are, you know, they're in high school. Every time these things come out, it's a, it's a furry genesis device.

You know what I mean? It just comes, it explodes and terraforms the psychology. And, you know, hey, no shade, but that's how it starts. Yeah. I mean, you're right. Like, Eric, if you were nine, if you were 10 years old when the first one came out, Mm-hmm. You are now like a 19-year-old in college.

finding yourself out. Uh-oh. Zootopia 2? Oh. Terraforming the brain. That's, there you go. Do you think, no, Steve, you positive this. Do you think this is intentional? Perhaps there's a cabal that's... No, no, there are no cabals. Don't go to

any pizza parlors with a rifle. Please. I don't think that folks... And this isn't a knock. It's just the way the world. It's the reality of it. I don't think folks that have to have these conventions at like the Hampton in by the airport are also creating a world-changing

cabal. I think it's just a happy accident. I would swap out the current cabal for the furry cabal. There'd be more empathy. Absolutely. More queer positive. It would be a happier world. Hey, furries. Hey, I'm going to tell you, furies,

you want to store, you want to take over all these houses, all these legislatures. You should do it. A hundred percent you should do it. You should run for office. Come the Senate, Congress, all of it. Go, go, go, go, go. Just to be clear, I have no issue with them, and I hope they have fun. No, and look, if anything,

if that fucking asshole John Federman can wear fucking sweatsuits and jorts on the fucking Senate floor or whatever. You can wear a fucking purple fucking unicorn costume. Who gives a shit? That guy tore that down. That guy's in Zootopia?

I don't think he did a voice. He belongs in a zoo Chris. Oh, a zoo? Okay. And you smell like one, two. Oh, yeah, that's a piece of shit. Interestingly, elsewhere at the box office wanted to put this up because tomorrow we are covering one of its

fellow franchise holders here but yes indeed folks if you weren't aware of this there was a silent night deadly night reboot that opened in theaters and it stars the guy who played Corey in Halloween ends

oh there you go I'm in I want to see this it's not playing near me that's a problem you talked about your vulture movie fantasy league this is on mine Boy, is that going to You pay 50 cents for it or what? One dollar, one American $50. Or a Cineverse movie.

If it was more than a dollar, I would say it's rigged. Then rigged. But yes, $1.1 million on 1600 screens. So not great, but I do want to check it out. I didn't realize, by the way,

because I've been sort of talking a blue streak about it since I watched it. But that 2012 reboot was like, reviled. I had no idea and I thought it was actually kind of okay just because in like the nasty department you know. But people hate that fucking movie. I had no idea.

The movie's kind of nasty a little bit. You know what I mean? Like yeah. Yeah. It's got an edge to it. The second one's hilarious. But you know. Yeah. The fifth one that we're talking about it. Oh yeah. We'll give you more info about that at the end of the program. Speaking of things we have to announce

we have some cool stuff to announce everybody as far as as the first three stops on the 2026 leg of the never-ending tour. First up, are you guys ready for this? We are going. I am. You ready? Eric, do you know where we're going?

Just I want to make sure you're aware. I am. We are going back to Los Angeles, y'all, in February talking about, uh-oh, is a big one. Broken Arrow. Yes. We will be at the Hollywood Improv on a Sunday night, February the 22nd, talking all about Broken Arrow. Oh, my God.

I feel like 20 minutes alone on Travolta turning into a dummy as he gets shot out of the train car. There's a significant portion where he gets shot in the arm and the movie forgets about it, if I believe correctly. He's like punching Christian Slater. Yes, it's great.

We're going to have a lot of fun with that. The birth of John Wu in America, just really a huge movie. I can't wait to talk about it. And Huey Long, my God, the man. Yes. Howie Long. Howie Long's not in this. Are you sure?

No, he's not. I checked. How? Come on. They didn't get him. You got to come out to this show because you never know what's going to happen. I mean, John Travolta might be there. Oh, yeah, where it is backyard. He's showing up in weird stuff on my TV all the time that you wouldn't think he would be there.

So you never know. He's back to doing those Santa commercials I've seen. The grease lightning one. I saw it a couple times yesterday. Yes. You know what? it's so much better than that those elf on the shelf ones

that they've been doing with Pete Davidson or whatever I will not be ranking Christmas commercials I will not do this Chris what's your favorite no no no no no no no Chris you know what I like not happening no I like you with the M&MC samples

no I like I just like the AI ones those are my favorite ones because they get taken down immediately because everyone realizes what a fucking shitty idea it was. Those are my favorite. The stats about that Coca-Cola thing are so fucking funny. They took, do you hear about this? They took like

months and something like 70,000 altered prompts and that was the best that they could come up with after they did 70,000 prompts, spend a month on it, and then just had to hire animators to come in and fix it anyway. What an incredible waste of

resources. Like, what the fuck, pathetic shit, man. Unbelievable. Oh, by the way, Chris Cabin, stop in some tweets. This was not John Wu's foray into America, my friend. Oh, I mean, I did. It was the very, I was like, this is the early days of John Wu

because he's been in America for a while now. I was sorry. Hard, hard target. Hard target. Yeah, hard target number one. So, yes, that's going on. Yes. At the Hollywood Improv, February 22nd, 2026.

Got to get used to saying that. And then we're going to take a few weeks off. And then we're going to hit the road again. And we're breaking into a new market this March, folks. We are coming to Minneapolis, Minnesota and the debt of winter. It sounds like a great fucking idea. But we're going to be there to warm you up talking about the 1982 Conan DeBambia in. Yes.

This is in March, right? March 20th. March the 20th. March the 20th. This is great. Varsity theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Our first time in Minneapolis. I don't want you embarrassing me.

I want you to come to the show. Get your tickets now. It's got to be a good turnout. That's how we determine if we return. Yes. We're doing a reverse walsh year because we're going from Beverly Hills to Minneapolis. You know, the reverse walsh.

Yeah. Yeah, so that's going to be a lot of fun. And then we got one more here. Also in March, just two nights later. We're going to shuffle south just a little bit here. So we can be back in one of our favorite cities of all time. That's right. Chicago, Illinois, we're coming your way.

two nights later we're talking big oh look at that absolutely so excited for this imagine if you're a little kid and suddenly become a hairy adult man with a nasty shlong and your brain's too small to understand how to use it and then some woman drags you into some type of sexual situation

more in Chicago more in Chicago we will be making our debut at the Den Theater in Shai Town on the 20 second, which I believe is also a Sunday night, funny enough. Yeah, what are you Sundays? L.A. Sunday show, Minneapolis.

We got you on a Friday night, y'all. Everybody's out of school, out of work. No excuses. We want a big-ass crowd in Minneapolis. And then Chicago, you're always beautiful to us. Let's fill that dead in theater. Hell, yeah. I'm stoked for all three these. It's going to be an awesome winter tour here. Oh, yeah.

So there you go. We got that. We got that. Let's see here. Yeah, there we are. There we are. um yeah so i'm super excited about that tickets are on sale now if you go to our website w hmpodcast dot com click on that tour page uh we haven't updated the titles yet because we wanted to save it right here for a nice little surprise for y'all uh but tickets are all on sale for all three uh at the hollywood improv the varsity theater and the den theater super fun super fun uh so there you go

and you know we haven't figured out the rest of the year up but uh as these things go when we know a little while later, you know. So stay tuned for new announcements coming. All right, speaking of new announcements, great way to get the word out about a movie you got coming out, make a little trailer for it, and sometimes we watch it and react

to it while we watch it in a segment we like to call. Oh, trailer segment. Now, a little tealor segment. teaser was released for this new street fighter movie. We got the embarrassment of riches

that was the character poster Arsenal. I decided to go with Dave Desmaltian playing M. Bison. I think he looks badass as hell. He looks great. I think this movie looks kind of fun. One problem with it though so far? Yes. Far right comedian

Andrew Schultz is in it. He's a MAGA guy that had Trump on his podcast and endorsed him publicly. And I think, think woke needs to come back get rid of these guys we need to get woke back get it back is he uh who's who's he playing the car that they beat up he's got a character poster he has

his own character yes dan he biggie which is i guess a character from after street fighter two but he's got purple suit and uh he he's a guy that always looks like he's Italian with this mustache but he's not he's a fake he's a fake Dan was like it was like Ken and Ryu and then like there was Dan he's also wearing and the karate ghee with similar moves.

See, I'm waiting for Akuma to show up. Any Akuma fans in the audience? Well, that's what I was realizing, watching this teaser. After the world of Street Fighter 2, this noodle ain't got nothing, man. I have not followed this series. Like, I have dipped into some of those later Mortal Combats and been like, who's all 40 of these people?

But, like, I've never done it. All those, the new ones, like, four, five. I think there was a six for the, the switch and shit. I've never played any of them. The Mortal Combats are ridiculous. I mean, at this point, President Obama's a character in a moral combat, I'm pretty sure. Oh,

my fatalities, drone strike. I think there's time for a sonic boom. Maybe another sonic boom. Flash Kirk. You would have Giles' moves, yeah, of course. His background is always a Syrian wedding.

It's always that. Oh, yeah. mash the button pad to send as many bombs down to the reception is possible see we look but we make fun of both sides it's possible sure uh-huh all right so anyway this street fighter movie that's coming out that I think looks pretty cool myself uh this is a something that was at the game awards uh where a sneak peek was given now folks at home if you want to watch along in the episode description uh right after you're done liking and subscribing We do have the exact trailer page on YouTube that we're going to watch this guy on here.

It is from the joint accounts of Paramount Pictures and Legendary. It's only a 45 second one here. I believe the president's friend is at nine seconds in if you want to watch. Excellent. I can't, I can't wait. All right. Here we go. So Street Fighter 2026 should say, by the way, this is directed by Katow Sakara,

or Sakurai, who is an Eric Andre guy, which explains why Eric Andre is also in this movie, but he directed like a shit ton of the Eric Andre show episodes, and he also directed that Eric Andre movie, the prank movie, bad trip. Okay. So that's this guy, and so now he's

got the reins of Street Fighter. All right, so here we go, y'all. Do a little three, two, one, go. This is Street Fighter 2026, three, two, one, go. Okay, that's right. Dude, 50 cents. Curtis, the hair, yep.

There he is. Oh, that guy. Yeah, okay. But, you know, this looks fun. I like that they're doing sort of such a literal translation. It reminds us of Mortal Kombat 95, which I thought was stupid when it came out,

but now is probably one of the best of these types of things. Yeah, I still think it's the leader, Eric. Yeah, there's Eric Andre. A lot of people getting kicked, which I appreciate. Exactly. Yep. Oh, the car's getting beat up. Yes.

Oh, dude, they finally acknowledge the bonus scene. That's pretty cool. Because here's my, it's not an issue. I hope it's a fun movie. It looks fun. But sometimes things should be a movie. I don't, you know what I mean? There's this like the Deadpool and Wolverine of a movie.

all of like, now it looks exactly like the thing that I used to like so it's better is not necessarily true. I'm going to give this one a wide berth. It looks more fun if they can, you know what I'm, but the look itself, because like this idea of like it jumped right off the video game, it jumped right off the comic book page. There needs to be adaptation is something that needs to happen. I, while I agree with you in theory, let me just remind you that if you stray too far into that idea my friend you get that fucking Bob Hoskins John Leguizamo movie

and I'm sorry that didn't come off a no video game screen that came out of a toilet to recommend for people who can't wait for this or for people who want an actual story check out the Sunny Chiba movies the Street Fighter series and they're excellent so

oh yeah I'm very sunny Chiba deficient oh there some good stuff out there yeah so this comes out, I think October of next year. So a lot of time between now and then, we'll see. But I'm excited. Maybe I'll get into some of these

more recent games just so I know all the characters. I also love the can't be fun of the first one. You can't beat it. It's bad, but it's fun. The Raoul Julia of it all. Like, Raoul Julia knew what that movie was. But then Van Dam thought it was a Van Damme movie, which is kind of an interesting tension. That was, yes.

Yep. For some reason, I never really got behind that one. It never really, and it was always just a bad movie to me. Yes, totally, I get that. Right. I think also, it doesn't say it, I don't think, in the metadata on YouTube, but I think on either Letterboxer IMDB, it says that the Street Fighter movie is also set in 1993,

which is kind of, that's cool. That's kind of cool. That's good. So we'll see you there. Oh, wait. Oh, this is weird. So we had Street Fighter 2026 trailer segment. But Steve, you added another trailer thing?

What is that here? I sure did. Oh. Coming soon to theaters. You rotten bastard. It's the VHS trailer game, ladies and gentlemen. Everyone's favorite game about absolute materials. A game that Bruce turned still alive, by the way,

is that it's a game that four simpletons can play. I'm sure it's a game that four simpletons can play at one time. Exactly. It is one time. It's been a little while. Sorry, forgot about it in November. We got a little busy. So I wanted to get one in for December

Before the end of the year This is the year ender here Just at FYI The score right now is Andrew at 11 points Chris has 10 and Eric has four So this is anybody's game here Very close So this is off of the National Lampoons

Chris's vacation VHS from 1990 And now Kind of interesting There's two trailers and two bonus rounds We're going to do here The first trailer or both of the trailers are actually sequels to Christmas movies

movies that were set at Christmas and both of those movies and their predecessor so that the original movies set at Christmas the next movie was not necessarily both the trailers coming up and all of those movies and the movies that they are sequels to

were all we hate movies episodes or WLM so like these are movies we are well-versed with so these are all things that we've done you're saying yes exactly both of these are things that they're done and we've done the movies that they're sequels too I gotta get out a cipher to understand what's happening every time one of these things

launches let's do it I move fast here I talk fast I move fast so round one all right game master's clue should say by the way Steve sorry but because there's no buzz in here guys we'll just do it this. So make sure Steve can see your hand.

Go like this. Don't go like this because I can't really. Yeah. No, I was just realizing my right hand's no good here. Exactly. You gotta go like that. There you go. All right. So everybody's got their hands ready. Get them off your cocks for five seconds. No, hi. All right. Here you go. What if I'm right? Game. Oh, wait, you got it? No, no. I was going to say, what if I raise my cock

up as a, a buzzet. If you can get it up there so I can see it, let's let's figure it out. Okay. It's an extra five points. Game Masters Kalu. Our intrepid, dopey hero from the first film moved away from his small town to the big city, reunites with his little buddy, and fights a new crop of baddies.

This time featuring cameos from John Aston, Bubba Smith, Dick Butkus, and Hulk Hogan. Andrew Juban? You are talking about Gremlins to the new batch. It is exactly Gremlins to the new batch. Yes. Oh, I like that. A little bit of a delay here. Yeah, we're going to get there.

All right, I've got to scroll down. my word document. So, here we go. Round two. Game Masters Kalu. One hero is a little older from the first movie. The other one's American accent's getting a little better. And they're both embroiled in a hot button geopolitical issue with an annoying new psychic.

I saw Andrew first. Lethal weapon two. It's lethal weapon to. Oh, America can tell me if I got that wrong about that. It's hard with the raising of the hands, folks. It's hard. but I did see him okay so now

some bonus rounds this is what I like a lot they give the best bonus Steve it gives the best bonuses I do give the and this gives everybody a chance to come in because this is

it's the end of the year you know what I mean we're all a year older and what's the first thing that starts to go your memory so this is letter box the memory game

I am going to ask each one of you what you rated and reviewed on letterbox literally one week from yesterday one week from today on this is December 8th, Andrew Juppin, you rated and reviewed something, gave it three stars,

and it's kind of a mid-aughts holiday fun movie. Okay. One week ago from today. So theoretically, you probably watched it last weekend, maybe. I will say I'm actually pretty a stickler for like, I get it on the day. I log it on the day. I will change it if I'm off a day. I'll make sure.

So let me see. So last, what are you saying? Last Monday? Last Monday. Ooh. Three stars mid-aughts holiday fun. That's all I could tell you. Yeah. Oh, God. And it's like right there, too. I remember because Chelsea and I've been going through a good amount. It's a sequel as well. I'll give you that. Yes. I think that three stars, mid-aughts, it has to be the Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas movie. It is exactly a very Harold and Kumar Christmas movie. That's five big points for Andrew Penn.

So this is the points for remembering a movie. You watched. I'm just trying to figure out the game. That's it. That's all you got to do. Eric Siska, last week, last Monday, you at least put on letterbox. I don't know when you watched it. You gave it two stars. It was a sci-fi flick, possibly show research. Oh, the maze runner?

It was the maze runner. Look at this. Everybody's figuring it out. Love this. Okay, I like this game now. And now, finally, Chris Cabot, on December 9, all these were, so this is the last Tuesday you get four stars no review you haven't made a review by the way in case you're want and everyone people are wondering since predator badlands on november 10th so are you doing

okay man you're doing all right i'm fine he's letting the stars speak for themselves so four stars no review elevated horror that's from like no timeline last tuesday last Tuesday from very it's a pretty recent one this year okay from this year elevated horror four stars from this year from this year um

oh wait oh I'm going to I because it could have been one of the other yeah was it Frankenstein it was the woman in the yard yeah it's a great game

or the woman in black is the woman in black sorry I wrote it down woman in black which is not recent at all but okay. The woman of black was what? Was it the woman of the yard was this year? No, the woman in the yard.

And I did not give that four stars. There was a woman of black that came out. Hold on. Hold on. I'm looking it up right now. You gave the woman in the yard four stars, my friend. And you watched it last week. I watched that.

I reported on the show on that movie. Is someone hack in your letterbox, dude? Oh, shit. Or maybe I rolled up. This is scandal, dude. Oh, wait, it's three stars. Wait. man, something's wrong here.

Look at this. All right. I'm going to have to give him five points because I fucked it up. That's it. That's so that that means I ruined my own game. All right. Last bonus round and I can't fuck this up. Okay.

I love it so much. 2025, Eric Roberts has a significant amount of acting credits on IMDB for just the year 2025 we're going to do uh everyone has to give a number and the closest one wins if people like are and it's not a you can go over it's not one of those deals so like you won't crash out if you go close to the number closest to the number and if you know if if you say like one andrew says one you could you know what I mean if you are so into a number it doesn't matter you know what I mean and or like sure the difference between if the same everybody gets it okay so here we go Eric Cisca.

I'll go eight. Eight. Okay. Chris Cabin. I'll go 15. Okay. Andrew Juppin. You know, Chris Cabin coming in a little closer what I was going to do, but I'm going to stick by it.

Lucky 13. Chris Cabin, you said 18? That's a 15. He said 15. Okay. Chris Cabin gets it because he has 39 acting credits. For this year alone. For this year alone.

39 what wow dude his phone bill for sending all those recorded files for his dialogue yeah it must be actually i'm going over my data so that is the vhs trailer game wow that's awesome there you go i can't believe i fucked up your letterbox chris i'm so mad about it but i'm gonna have to like get back in show mode i also forgot to put the little shire on up so there you it was a very special round of the there you go 39 credits That's insane.

And I took off two podcast credits that I won't count. I will just not count podcast. No, that's fine. I counted 41 if you're counting the podcast, which I'm not doing. Any of those like a DVD, like deleted scenes from a runaway train disc or something? There's one called like Arkansas clown murderer that I want to watch or something like that. Of course, why not? Hell yeah, dude.

Some of these, like at least two of them I clicked, he is on the phone. like you know what I mean if you look look into it he is on the phone like hey how's the movie going oh I Arkansas clown murder they're doing anything to have some programming to go up against Welcome to Derry anything yep

didn't someone I think it was Arkansas Pigman massacre apology even better even better didn't someone at was it the meet and greed at the Brooklyn show for total recall someone showed us a cameo is that right

yes it was Eric Roberts giving his friend a cameo and it was clearly from the set of one of these movies and there's people walking by in the background like grips and stuff. Amazing. It was so cool. I would recommend everybody watch because I've watched City Rush 3 which from a couple years ago. City Rush 4 he's also

it. It's a 45 minute movie. They're all on Amazon. Oh, this is like this dude's like some like Serbian or something. He's a Greek guy named George Tunis who just makes these bizarre. It's like the last one had a fake Joker in it. These have to be seen to be believed. City Rush, there's a blade runner element to it.

It goes on and on. Is this what, maybe this is what the president thinks rush hour is? Maybe. City Rush. Wait a minute. There wasn't a Chinese guy in Rush Hour. Oh, man. So, wow, that's a lot of credits. There you go.

Little year-ender VHS trailer game for y'all. So let's get into it here as we sort of start crawling towards the, the top of the hour here, but of course just landed in theaters a couple weeks ago and available to everyone on the Netflix platform as a Friday. That's right. Wake up Dead Man, the new

Knives Out movie is out and man, that Benoit Blanc hair is back and better than ever. Hell yeah. I do like, I will say, I couldn't remember if they put the subtitle at the start of Glass Onion, but I do like in this one, it's just, the title

card is just Wake Up Dead Man. the movie like the internal mechanisms of the movie know that the a knives out mystery is just for marketing people because people are stupid yes so i like that just this is a movie that is just called wake up dead man yeah and i think it's the best of the bunch like by a considerable amount uh i i i i like that first one well enough mostly because it's got one hell of a cast in it uh the second one i despise uh i just i i just don't think it anything to At least the first one, it has some balls to say some stuff. I think the second one was kind of muddling its message a little bit, but also I just didn't like the cast as much. I think good actors, but they didn't sing the way the first one does. This one, it feels like a real movie. Like this one, I have to like make excuses for it in my head about like,

oh, well, they're just stopping the movie dead to have a line because it's this thing. No, it didn't feel like that. It felt like a real lived and thing. And I think a lot of that has to do with Josh O'Connor, being what's the greatest actor is currently working. He's just the guy is fucking great. And he sings, he sells this movie

so well. He works with Daniel Craig unbelievably well. I have nothing but good things to say about this one. I didn't even have this kind of thing to say about the first one. I was, that's, that's what I'm fully on the same exact boat. I actually didn't see the second one because I was just so

wishy-washy in the first one. I think I came to the first one a little late. It was everyone's like, oh, the sweater. What's Chris Evans puts on that sweater and I was like it's just a sweater folks but uh so I was I liked the first one I liked the cast I thought it was a cool I liked the Daniel Craig of it all and I was just sort of like and then I heard like the second was wishy-washy kind of like wicked for good I was like you know what if I didn't like the first one or that much I'm just gonna skip it I watched this because I uh I saw theaters and I fucking loved it I really did I really liked it a lot I think

the Josh O'Connor of it all like centering on that centering it on the Catholic church stuff and the the vibes are interesting like talking about faith in a faithless moment i think is very interesting you know what i mean it's it's not an amazing movie there's some characters that i don't want to spoil anything like some actors that you want to see do stuff do not do anything and are just kind of there for window dressing and that's kind of a beef but and like some of the jokes are like a little sweatier that that's kind of a a a hallmark of this series like you know like really selling the joke a little bit too much. But overall, I really, really like this movie a lot.

I think it's fine. I think all these movies are just fine to me. I think if I had saw it in the theater like you did, Steve, I would have been more able to connect with it. Watching on the couch, it's like two and a half hours. Yes. It just felt like I was watching PBS midsummer murders or whatever. I was not really gripped by it.

I love Josh O'Connor. I think he's in a much better movie out now called The Mastermind. One of my favorites of the year. I would recommend over this. But it's just fine for me. I don't know. Yeah, it's kind of interesting, Eric. I totally feel what you're saying about the couch of it all.

Yeah. Because obviously Glass Onion, we watched on our couch. I saw the first one in theaters. The second one, we rewatched both of them in anticipation of this. I'll say the second one. I wasn't as hip on it the first time around. The second time, I think the biggest like stumble is that it's a movie where it's trying to like criticize like billionaire stuff and doesn't

quite know how to like sharpen its teeth in the right ways but like Chris said like it's a great cast in that one this one my problem with it uh and again aside from yeah like it's on the couch we paused it at least two times for fucking bathroom breaks and whatever uh that whole thing and because it's made the exact same way there's not a ton of we're making a movie here man flourishes this to me now feels like watching uh the tv show the the yeah poker face poker face it has that vibe to it a little bit now don't get me wrong i still really like this movie but i think what sort of i'm i'm a one three two guy and why it's not a three one two is because steve you sort of pointed to it man this movie yes benwa blanc

and, you know, Father Judd together, Daniel Craig and O'Connor, Joshua O'Connor, are great together. That forces almost the entire rest of this cast to really take a backseat. And that's what I like about that first one. That whole family, all of those cast members feel just a little bit more built up. And this, it felt like, I mean, like, I'm sorry. Like, I'm watching Carrie Washington in a movie. She's got kind of like one scene that is, it's very good. but like again just a lot of a backseat kind of thing

you know so it's it's a minor complaint I mean similarly Andrew Scott could have used a little more of that I like I like him and stuff so could have used a little more Mila Kunes oh no oh dude she is awful in this movie I thought Ashton was going to show up I thought we were being punked with her I don't know who she punked to get in the movie

I don't know how it happened this is what I'm saying though this this I think elaborates my point a little more like I thought she was okay with it, that's a character from a poker face episode. Like it just poker face gets like those like that era, those level of actors and puts them in and

they're totally served like I think she's serviceable. It's totally fine. But again I was like yeah, fuck that feels like poker face. So I really wish like in the shooting of the movie it was a little more flourishy just to like make it feel like it wasn't like Eric like you said like a midsummer murders

you know. I thought the vibes were cool there was some cool like the the scene about the lady raging and the church was really like flourishy and almost like Gialo-esque with the colors. There's some cool. Again, maybe it was the big screen of it all. I thought the colors were popping for me anyway.

I really like the colors and I thought the editing is much different from poker face. Like the way they hold on certain things the way they move in the frame. It's just it like I see what you mean in the fact that you have big actors playing smaller roles. That I get.

But like the actual filmmaking to me is much different than anything in poker face. I mean, I like the fact that we are getting Benoit Blanc and Judd together. I kind of like that they anchor this. Like, that's kind of my issue with those other two is that I feel like I'm awash in that we are trying to

have the castes be the thing. And I'm like, no, I need an anchor, and Benoit Blanc is like, I felt like he was barely in that glass onion. And the first one, I was just, he's in it more. and he gets a lot of good what was it like he's Stanfield who's his like number two

yes he was yes yes and I thought they had a good thing he's not in this movie to like 55 minutes it's very it's very light on him I would say that is another thing that skew I do too when they do it on poker face that was another thing like I couldn't that's like the

the format of poker face is like just like murder she roads and columbos where like you are hanging and then you're catching up with the murder so like that to me that was just another thing where i was like geez that kind of looks like that show but like yeah all the stuff with like yeah the the mother and all those flashing there are there's don't get me wrong there's not a complete absence of flourishes but there's long stretches of this movie that kind of to me just felt like i was

watching peacock and you know i know that sounds like negative although i did like that show it just to me i think if if i had been able to get out yeah to see it like at the paris right i know it's actually playing more more than just the paris like they actually did a decent-ish kind of rollout with this, but I should have seen it on a big screen. I also, it's also too close to home for me in a way because all the establishing shots are Cold Spring,

New York, where I lived for eight years. And so the town that they're using the photos of and the exteriors of is where I lived. And then the next scene is, you know, because none of the actors ever were in New York for this, they were all in England. So then you're just doing English locations. Yeah.

And then it kind of deflates. it for me because I'm so excited to see Cold Spring but then also got me thinking man Daniel Craig Josh O'Connor it'd be great if they were doing their actual voices in this yeah maybe this will get them like into another movie series

where they're you it'll be called using real voices we'll be able to get the box set someday using real voices one through four I think I mean I think the two of them are really fantastic together they are Josh Josh O'Connor is great but I agree with you Eric also I like

the mastermind more? Oh, the mastermind. That's not my question. A lot of my parents of me of the years. It's amazing. It's coming out of the Alamo bathroom in downtown.

The Alamo bathroom downtown folks. One side, it's all stalls. One side, it's all urinals. So like, you know, there's no gender at all. You just go in. Right.

And I'm coming out of the stall bathroom and there's a woman. It's about 50 or something. And her son is about 13. And she just goes to the sun. She goes, you see what I was saying about the bathroom? when I'm coming out of it.

Like, and I'm like, what do you think I'm? Ladies, you're standing in the bathroom with your 13-year-old son. What are you talking about? You see what I said about the bathroom? Look, that's going to have been playing in my head. You should have turned around and you should have been like, what were you saying about the bathrooms? Steve, just come on.

She had you dead to rights. Come on. Come on. I told you there was a guy with glasses jerking off in there. Exactly. Everyone thinks I'm whacked at it in the ladies' room. It's not a lady's room. It's a fucking.

Place for everyone. Sure. No, that's... I absolutely love that commode situation at that alamo man because they're legit stalls, dude. We're talking floor to ceiling. Love the walls.

You can close that door, floor to ceiling door. Oh, it's like having a little fucking apartment at a movie theater. It's great. You see what I'm saying about the bathroom? You see what I'm saying about the bathroom? You see?

Steve, any, any fun cocktails to go on theme with Wake Up dead man I don't they were not I just got a beer you know yeah see well there's what just a corpse survivor number two it's right there Alamo there you don't do anything uh anyway so yeah uh you know I'm one three two but I totally understand people thinking it's the best I did like that it does feel kind of different you know yeah the the vibe is definitely grimmer and I did love all the all the Catholic stuff

too oh we should say a fucking Josh Brolin as the Montseigneur Wix what a performance Kaylee Spaney I mean it was just it's a really good cast She's another one I wish Had a little more to do Yes Josh Brollas leaves

To chase down the juggler In this movie He looks so much Like James Burlin In this film Dude he does with a big wild hair Right I was thinking the same thing

Oh hell yeah All right We got the A few minutes left here One do a quick run through Because we've been watching Some holiday trash That we want to make y'all

Hip to here So quick little Holiday movie roundup Here I think Eric and Chris If you guys have watched any of these. I have not. You guys lightning around this, go for it. Yeah,

this is a real mean, Steve. So, Steve, the first one is you, man. Tell us a little bit about, melt my heart this Christmas. Melt my heart this Christmas is a glass blowing set Christmas adventure. Where in the world of gas glass blowing, wherein it's kind of

like the devil wears Prada, but everybody cares about glass blowing. So it's like this like hoity-toity, like older glass blowing lady and everyone's like, my God, it's hurt. Oh, my God. And like, this young, plucky so-and-so is trying to come up in the world of glass blowing.

Sure. Fantastic. It's so ridiculous, so stupid. It's a bit of fun. And so is it a thing where like she's going to be, like, she's the last person in the village that knows the glass blowing technique. And when she dies, the village won't be able to do the glass. Oh, that's that Herzog movie, I was thinking. Oh, right.

Yeah. Does there any, like, sexual innuendo where it's like, oh, you're so good. at blowing. No, not in this universe, not on this channel. Oh, damn. That's the thing, Eric, what these things are made for is this is, this goes into a grandmother and she tells her daughter or

granddaughter, you know what you should try to do? You should try to go to a glass bowling clash and maybe you'll meet a guy there. You never know. You might find romance there. You never know. And that's all is meant to do. That is the whole reason for this to be made. Thanks for the tip, me more. Yeah.

I give it a high mark just because the more divorce from reality these movies are the better in my opinion and this is just like what are we talking about? So yeah you could do worse than melt my heart this Christmas So that was a hallmark one Steve so you got that fucker on Hulu?

No, we got the channel Oh, monthly subscribers are you? Just for the month of December then you Oh yeah cut on out dude Perfect. All right so yeah you're doing a hallmark necker I think all of mine are Netflix ones funny enough. So, all right, we'll bop over to Netflix

Christmas Village here. Talk about champagne problems, you see. Directed by Mark Stephen Johnson, and I wrote it in the show notes, yes, that Mark Stephen Johnson of Daredevil 2003. And Simon Burch, we watched it too, and I was shocked that this is a Mark Stephen Johnson

written and directed joint. Can you put that post up real quick? What was that? Sorry. Is that a production company, Minka Kelly? What is that? Kelly is the woman on the left there, you see. So it stars, no, she's from Friday Night Lights and dating Derek Jeter for a while, I think.

I haven't seen either of those things. Yeah, I know her predominantly from Friday Night Lights. She was like the cool hot girl in high school or whatever. So she's in this movie with Frenchmen here and some other people. And basically, she works for a company that absorbs other companies and helps them, aka, guts them kills them, much like Richard Geard does in Pretty Woman, right? So she has been charged with going

to this champagne provider in France to try to get him to sell her his vineyard that's been in his family for decades, and then she has to battle three other people

who are also looking to get the business, and wouldn't you know it? She goes to Paris and her friend is like, you got to like just have one no work just go have fun you're in paris at christmas time for god's sakes she goes she meets this hot frenchman fucks this dude's brains out right next morning uh-oh late for the business meeting runs to the business meeting oh who's also late for the business meeting the dude she fucked because you guessed it he's the son of the guy who owns the vineyard oh so we are we are

going through there trying to figure out all the twists and turns there daredevil does not show up unfortunately. No, sadly not. Yeah. And some nice French shots. Because actually it's Netflix, they have a trillion dollars, so they're like actually filmed it in France, so it looks pretty good. Yep, that's exactly right. The bonus of watching these kinds of movies on Netflix is we are licensing real songs. We are a lot of times going to real locations. Yes. So this was one, champagne problems. I put this in the category of I've seen worse

of these. So yes. Yeah, I buy that for sure. Yeah. Steve, How about the more the merrier? This takes place It's another hallmark joint It takes place at an ER that gets snowed in at Christmas And instead of like Oh my God my dad had a fucking heart attack And like all the other shit

That would literally be going on It's like it doesn't turn into the pit It does not turn into the pit Which I am watching the pit right now Which is amazing It's not about like you know elder care or you know There wasn't a shooting at the music festival Or whatever

Yeah okay No but it's not just yet. No but it is this uh there's too many babies being born oh my god are they all gonna be happy and healthy thank god that they are there's no danger whatsoever like the woman is like i want to go to out to a big city hospital and of course the other guy's like but i just fell in love with you won't you stick around so yeah i'll just change all my plans yeah sure why not you're in a hallmark movie you got to change your whole life around for these men exactly i it's it's stupid it's bad I also know there's

there's weird like multiple women give birth and like you never know who's going to pop next and one is like this lady who goes to like a coffee shop and like the family who runs the coffee shop is at

wouldn't you know it has already pre-adopted this woman's baby oh wow and I feel like that should be illegal like I don't know if you can't know if you can be in the room when she's given birth I got dibs dude I can be in the room I got dibs I think that's right

I don't think you could do that yeah it sounds horrible yeah it was another one here that I took in this is another one over on Netflix

it is called a merry little ex-mus directed by Steve Carr who did things like next Friday daddy daycare the first Paul Blart movie so he has

been around the block that is for sure so here he is directing this movie it is Alicia Silverstone show and leg Jesus. This dude, let me tell you something.

This is a very hooterific motion picture. There is a lot of cleave in this movie, both from her and Melissa Joan Hart, which is very surprising. But so it's Alicia Silverstone, and this guy, Oliver Hudson, who is Kate Hudson's brother, they are a couple who's getting divorced,

or as they refer to it, and Steve, this is what you were talking about, I think, with some of these, like, delayed references and whatever, because the big joke is they're consciously uncoupling. Oh. 10 years after Gwyneth and Chris Martin did that shit. So that's what's going on.

We're going to have one last Christmas in the house. She is secretly taking a job in Boston, so she's going to leave this New Hampshire town or whatever. And he's got a lady friend coming in for Christmas, played by Jamila Jamil, I believe her name is, from the good place and whatnot. This, again, is one of those, like, it's kind of better than your average ones.

Again, just due to the money, you can afford real actors. you know, it is weird that Alicia Silverstone and Melissa Joan Hart star in the same movie and do not play sisters. Yeah, that's odd. Completely wasted opportunity, in my opinion. Melissa Joan Hart plays like

her alcoholic, constantly wine drunk realtor friend who's going to sell the house, of course. Nice. Okay. But yeah, this one, there's a whole joke a movie length joke referencing the Paul Simon tune, You Can Call Me Al.

So it's a Netflix movie. You better believe we're going into the credits, listen to that song and so on. So, you know, that's not... Honestly, champagne problems better than this movie. Okay, but better or worse, since it's Alicia Silverstone, better or worse than Begonia. Good question.

Great question, yeah. This movie's ending had a better ending than Begonia, maybe I'll just say that. There you go. It's an ending that I thought worked for the movie. All right, Steve Sadegh, one last one here. tell us all about holiday touchdown colon a bill's love story this uh speaking of brothers this dude is alexandria dedario's brother that's in this oh these brothers that are everywhere we stop with these brothers secret brothers dude and speaking brothers uh some real actors in

this film steve shrippa is in this motion picture because i think that they did one they did a chiefs one last year and they had some real actors and i think the NFL is putting money and the NFL is definitely put money in these things. I'm sure. This is like this is a commercial for the NFL. You're using like licensed shit. Yes. So you've got Steve Shereppi. We've got some real songs. And most importantly

But if you're looking for trash and you want to swim around and some of that fun stuff, there you go. They're all short as hell, so you're not going to like waste an evening.
