This is a headgum podcast.
Now on today's program, the longest yet of what we've watched of Transformer movies.
This is Transformers, call in Age of Extinction.
I'm Andrew Jupin.
Steven Sadek.
Eric Siska.
Ben Worcester.
And we hate movies.
Hello, everyone, welcome to we hate movies.
Thank you for tuning into our fine program, as always.
This week, like we mentioned up top, my God, this Transformersathon just keeps rolling along.
I do think we need to get it out of the way.
That Ben Wester's in studio?
Yes.
What's that about?
Chris has been indicted.
We'll see what happens.
But his emails, we're going to have to wait and see.
So Ben is valiantly stepping up here.
How are you doing, buddy?
I'm doing just fine.
I'm doing just fine.
Actually, I mean, you guys didn't see it.
It happened sort of off camera, off Mike.
But I'm Chris Cabin.
I just transformed.
Oh, wow.
It's the evolution.
You know, Chris Cabin wasn't here last because he was in his cocoon phase.
That's a good way to evade prosecution
Turned to Ben Worcester
There it is
So yeah, this is Transformers
Age of Extinction from 2014
Also directed by Michael Bay
And wow, these things are just starting to blend together
Now Ben Worcester, you're only guesting on this episode
But have you recently seen these
The previous three Transformer pictures?
Oh man, I saw Transformers one in the theater
Right, yeah, we all got duped into that
Which I feel most people did
Yeah, sure
I got duped twice
Two twice
Second time was for air conditioning
It was just a desperation move
Desperate and the air conditioning was broken
But I didn't leave
Oh yeah
Well what does that say?
It says I'm lazy and stubborn
So I'm definitely
I mean not that it makes much difference
You know I wasn't lost
I kind of picked up on where things were at
So did you go one to four
Is that one to four?
Oh, good for you.
Yeah.
Wow, so he only had one run in with Shila Buff and his hilarious parents and...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just completely...
So Buff was back in two?
And three.
And three.
Yeah, this is the first Buffless.
Oh, okay.
He was actually in federal, in jail at this point.
He was in jail.
He was in federal prison.
So is his character, Sam Whitwicky.
I believe he's now in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Oh, I see.
Oh, for being an alien sympathizer.
Is that how that works?
Yes.
Put the hood on him and throw him.
and throw him into a hole.
There you go.
Spray him with a hose.
Was he involved, like,
was he blamed for the Battle of Chicago
or whatever they alluded to?
They did a bunch of Abu Ghraib shit on him.
No, he's just lying.
They don't mention his character at all.
That's weird, because the first two have
Megan Fox, and Megan Fox bounces in the third room
because she called Michael Bay a Nazi
and because Michael Bay tried to put his camera
entirely up her ass.
So there's a big problem for everybody.
He loves those low shots.
He does.
Michael Bay is a film.
production and colonoscopy industries yes so he once he gets that that that
that craning cam go and he's gonna be really he's gonna be off the races but
they they talk shit about her in the third movie right so at least her
character is kind of given like oh they broke up but she was kind of mean or
something yeah this one no you know you think optimists at least or
bumblebee can't even talk but like one of them would be like remember the good
old days with Sam with wiki I can't believe we're hanging out with stupid Mark
Walberg with
cinema's dumbest name ever
Keg what is it
Kade Yeager
Kade Yeager
God damn that's terrible
Kade
That's all he did in this movie was yell
Kade
What I love about
Could you name my character after a Yeager bomb
Could you just name me
Yeager bomb?
Oh shit if my character
Chokeslammed a Transformer
It would be a Kade Yeager bomb
What was it they were saying
What was there Chuck Yeager?
Wasn't that that that error?
guy. Yeah. I figured there
he flew airplanes. He did. He broke
the sound barrier or something like that.
Oh, that was Chuck Yeager did that? Oh, shit. And
there was a
bitch in flight simulator. Did you ever play that?
Microsoft flight simulator?
No. Well, there's specifically
Chuck Yeager
Branded version. No, really? Oh, I didn't
play that. I was a Microsoft flight simulator guy.
This was like before that, I think. This is
like the real old school. Oh, wow. So it was
like even worse than Microsoft. It was like,
You could actually, like, I think you could parachute or someone could parachute and you could shoot at them.
And I remember just shooting a little, like a little pixel guy with a gun.
I don't know if that was related.
Is that what Chuck Yeager was up to?
Yeah, why is that in Chuck Yeager's flight simulator?
Fucking black ops, man.
Oh, Chuck Yeager's new game, Black Ops?
He always carried his pixel pistol with him in the cockpit.
And then there was also that famous, Hey, Dean Yeager.
Oh, well, Hey, Dean Yeager, of course, from Ghostbusters, Dean Yeager.
So those are the things I thought about.
Is my character related to the Ghostbusters?
That's kind of scary.
I could have been in that new Ghostbusters,
but they just hired a bunch of fucking broads.
No one saw that.
He had a problem with it, I bet.
So, yeah, we start at the beginning of time.
Like you want to with a Transformers movie.
Get me some fucking dinosaurs.
Oh, my God.
Terrence Malix, Transformers, Age of Extinction.
Oh, wow.
Optimist Prime steps on that.
dinosaur's head and it's just like looking
at it. Dude, that
dinosaur looked
worse than the dinosaurs in
Tree of Life. Oh, yes. I really like
Tree of Life, but those dinosaurs are distractingly
bad. This dinosaur
in this $200 million
whatever the hell movie
looks like shit.
Yeah. And I bet if it was a fucking
dinosaur that could turn into a goddamn car
you'd bother to make it look good.
Pooposaurus.
Puposaurus.
Is that what it was called?
Do you honestly?
Well, maybe. I don't know.
Michael Bay.
Well, it doesn't look like any dinosaur I've seen before.
I thought we were in space.
I didn't think we were on Earth because I was like, oh, look at these weird little
gleeplop aliens.
Oh, wait, they're supposed to be like real dinosaurs that really existed.
They spent zero time designing these things.
Like, I don't think they consulted paleontologists for this.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
All right, you got an afternoon.
Give me something.
And isn't, is Spielberg still a strong suit?
I do robots.
Bay wants his diet.
I know.
Is Spielberg still executive producing these movies?
That guy made dinosaurs come back from the grave.
He was off that day.
Yeah.
The dino day?
Man, he's got nothing to do with this shit.
No, I mean, it's a check.
It's a really, really nice series of checks.
But, like, what is the involvement, though?
Is it like, oh, Stephen, can you come in and consult like this one day?
Can you just, I have one question from you for you about a Transformers movie,
and now you have an executive producer credit.
You should make it big.
Thank you for the check.
I'm going to go put in another pool now.
I think that robot should be big too.
Oh, this one, make it really small.
Oh, and that robot?
Make it about 10% less racist.
Yeah, there we go.
It's all just window screen to give these movies an air of legitimacy.
Like, it's from Steven Spielberg.
Yeah, oh, totally.
So, yeah, so we witnessed.
And the guys who brought you knocked up.
Oh, yeah, they were involved.
That's why this movie's two hours and 45 minutes long.
Because of all the fucking a robot improv scenes.
Oh my God, that robot's house might have to go up for sale.
What's going to happen?
That's so crazy.
This is optimist.
All these robots have extended riffs about seeing Spider-Man 3 in theaters.
That homely Jewish robot married a lady robot that's much more attractive than he is.
Let's talk about that for 90 minutes.
Did they get married?
What are you talking about?
Knocked up?
No, I guess that's another Apatow movie.
I think that's fine.
They all bleed together.
Funny people, or this is 40, one of them.
Cade Yeager, fetch me my bong.
Oh, man, getting stoned with the Transformers.
I'm down.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, so we witnessed, like, the real extinction event.
You fucking thought it was a comic.
Guess what, motherfuckers, robots.
That was 30 seconds in.
Yeah, we were given this 30 seconds in his movie.
My life went upside down.
Everything I thought I knew.
Yeah.
What are the odds?
And no narrative, you know, the first three movies, Ben, now you've been out of the game, the Transformers game for a while.
Yeah, yeah. You get, you open on a nice sultry Peter Cullen Optimus Prime riff on something, you know, like millennials today or whatever he's talking about this week.
To get at the grocery store, celery, baby carrots.
Did you hear about this?
Canned soup.
But this time.
Did you ever notice how airplane food is bad?
Condoms.
You know, I knew it.
I dated an airplane once.
Let me say the stereotype is not true.
Oh, man.
She tasted good.
Transformers stand-up comedy.
I love it.
I was going down on an airplane the other day.
Let me say, I got lost in the wind flaps.
Oh, wow.
That's awful.
The secret is, get her above 35,000 feet.
That's disgusting.
No, I'm picturing, you ever see that with, like, speaking of Chuck Yeager,
when these airplanes refuel and shit, like, in the air and you get that big fucking,
like, tubes.
Yeah, that fucking gas dick comes out.
Imagine that where it's like Optimus Prime, like, just growing, you know what I'm saying?
Because he's a grower, not a shower, and then he slides it into this airplane.
I would love to know that.
I want to know what his gas dick looks like.
Well, that's actually a big part of this movie because...
Here you go.
It also negates the rest of the series?
The rest of the series?
Well, specifically something we saw, I think, in the second movie.
Because in this movie, that fucking, like, the most advanced, like, robot, I guess
it's technically a Decepticon.
Sure.
The Villain, whatever this dude's.
Lockdown.
Lockdown is, like, and his fucking facial features are out of control.
This is a robot.
Like, come on.
He's got big lips.
It's like Doug Jones in a mocap suit.
It's terrible.
But so that guy, it says to Optimus Prime, he's like, he's like, you think that you were born.
You were built.
And I was like, no, in that second movie, I saw a fucking robot fall out of a jelly sack.
It happened.
Don't tell me it didn't happen.
I saw that Matrix rip-off shit.
Well, I mean, we never saw the jelly sacks ever again.
And they kind of just assumed.
And that did happen.
Yes.
Okay, because I don't remember.
Yeah.
So, okay, it did happen.
Yeah.
All right.
So then we go to the Arctic where there's a guy who I could have sworn, I would have put money on it
that this was Fisher Stevens doing a Scottish accent.
Oh, nice.
Turned out I was wrong.
He'll do any accent you want him to do.
Oh, yeah, racist or otherwise.
And so there's like this scientist, and she comes in, and it's like, oh, like, this whole discovery is going to change what we know history to be.
And it's like a frozen dinosaur robot.
And she's like, I'll see you in 51 minutes and leaves the movie.
Oh, totally.
So we can cut to Texas, USA.
Like, I fucking.
know where Texas is because Texas could not exist anywhere else.
But to be fair, when Mark Wahlberg starts talking as a Texan, you're like, am I in Texas
America?
Or is this like, did, did Texas get annexed by Boston?
Or how did that work?
I think there was a lot of like the population shifted once the Battle of Chicago.
Oh, that's a shame.
Oh, no, because in this movie, dude, it clearly states that both Mark Wahlberg and T.J. Miller,
who are supposed to be the same age in this movie grow up together.
in Paris, Texas.
Paris, Texas?
They mention specifically
that it's Paris, Texas,
just like the Vim Vendors movie.
Yeah, welcome by Dean Stockwell.
Totally, man.
But that, so, like, right there,
there's a whole bunch of shit to unpack.
It's like Mark Wahlberg was from a family
that was too racist for Boston.
And they were like,
get the fuck out of here and go to Texas.
That's ridiculous how racist his family is.
You take yourself, your whole family,
and all your dumb inventions,
and you get the hell out of here.
Good point, Ben Wister.
We have to address this immediately.
You know, Mike, Mike, Mike, do you ever watch Wim Wendez movies?
That's a good movie.
Do you ever see Wings of Desire?
Oh, my God, Mike, do you believe in angels?
Oh, shit.
I think I might be an angel on this earth.
Yeah, Ben Wister points out that Mark Wahlberg was cast to play an inventor.
That's fucking comedy.
Oh, my God.
This guy's inventions.
Well, also, like, so we set up this world wherein, it's the Battle of Chicago.
what happens the transformers are out of fashion
finally like you know it's illegal
to have transformers or harbor transformers
and this is we're talking like
full on autobots as well like
yes everybody's out everybody's out
but this guy's still
able to make robots I feel like that would be
illegal too this is what was just
I couldn't wrap my head around
it's like we're in this world
right where everyone knows there's
transforming talking
robots that they fought
and destroyed a city yeah and this
guys here still trying to invent a robot. It's like the saddest thing I've ever seen. It has to be like to
Steve's point about like wouldn't someone step in or whatever, you know, like stop this dude from
working on these things. Like it has to be because the government knows he's just so terrible
at building these robots that it's like, no, no, let him live at this fucking fantasy camp. Oh, that's cute.
Look, oh, you mean, that, that robot's painting a wall. Isn't that cute? But you're right. Like, that's a
trying to invent the car right now.
Like, oh, I'm going to go in and get all this scrap metal together,
and I'm going to invent what a car is.
And then do it badly.
It's like, wait, these wheels aren't round.
Like that one scene where, I mean, the thing that comes to the door,
it's like this little dog that greets you at the door,
and then he's trying to get one to talk,
and it has these horrible eyeballs.
Yeah.
That thing's terrifying.
It's like, oh, one of these days, I'm going to get this to work.
No, you're not.
And why are you even bothering?
Just let it go.
There are robots everywhere.
There's too many robots in the world as it is.
He needs event help.
You remember this?
How?
It's his commercials event help?
I thought you're doing a live read right now.
George Foreman's an inventor.
Yes, thank you.
And those ads where he's just like,
hey, are you unemployed?
I love those because
are you unemployed?
What you need to do is be an ex-professional boxer
and slap your name on something you had
nothing to do with like a George Forman crew.
That's the best part, my absolute
favorite part about those event health commercials
is it starts with him going,
people are always asking me,
George, where can I patent my inventions?
And I was like, really, are people always asking you
that George Foreman? They're not always
asking you about boxing.
Or why you named all your children, George?
These are my sons.
George, George, George, George, George, George.
These are my daughters. Mark, Mark.
Mark and Mark
Are you telling me
that George Foreman
did not invent a grill?
I don't think so.
A grill that is
slightly at an angle
so grease drips into a tray.
Someone put a book
under a frying pan
and they're like, say.
Yeah, but you know what?
Man, we're making fun of that.
That person's laughing
all the way to the bank.
They already have.
Well, actually,
George Foreman killed that person
and then took the skew match.
Yeah.
And the day is mine.
So Mark Wahlberg, yes, he went to high school with T.J. Miller, who I think is like 29 years old.
Yeah, T.J. Miller, also a native of Paris, Texas.
Sure.
Looks and acts like a Midwest surfer dude.
But that's kind of a gag, I guess?
I guess it's the gag, but it's just T.J. Miller with his, you know, Midwest accent.
Can I interject here, having not seen two and three, I have, well, a continuing series of notes where it's like, here I have, oh, no, Erlich.
because he pops up and it's like what the hell is he doing in here yeah first first and only time as the movie unfolds though this fourth movie we'll get to it it's there's many many oh nos yeah it's it's just this litany of like recognizable faces that you've enjoyed elsewhere but then it's like oh that's bent that's what this whole franchise is it's a litany of faces you've enjoyed elsewhere and it's a fucking boner jam so we've had john tautora ruined for us we had john malcovich ruined for
awesome. Friends McDormon
Ruinford? Oh, no. Oh, yeah.
Megan Fox ruined.
Wow.
James Gandalfini and the second one
when he goes up to Optimus Primes, like, I hear
you like to slam into buildings.
You've got quite a flare for it.
That was at the cafeteria in Langley.
Yes, exactly.
But yeah, so they're like,
I guess what are they scrappers or something?
Like, what are they doing? They're like,
yeah, they're just some junkyard dogs.
I guess, like, Optimus Prime, it's revealed later that Lock, Lockdown, and Optimus had some, like, sort of battle in Mexico City. Did anyone get that line?
Oh, yeah.
She went down in Mexico City before this movie happened.
That's my heroine. God damn it, Lockdown, get back here.
I swear to God, Lockdown, I thought she was 18 years old.
Like, what happened in Mexico City that he's...
Oh, no. Pimpot 5,000.
I'm in deep water now.
Oh shit, Tukobot.
Let's get out of here.
Yeah, you know, all those things are way better than what the answer is, which is a robot fight?
A robot fight happens.
Optimus Prime.
I guess, like, you remember going to the movie house as a kid.
That's where I will die.
Oh, that's right.
It's an abandoned movie theater.
Yeah, so speaking of fucking movies that take place in Texas, man.
So now we're at the last picture show.
I mean, yeah.
So it's like, I guess.
Mark Wahlberg, for whatever reason, is buying a movie theater with T.J. Miller. Is that the idea?
No, I think he's just like one of those junk, junk picker guys. Oh, he's just buying the projector?
Yeah, like all sorts of stuff. It's a place full of crap. I'll pay you to take the stuff out of here. He's a hoarder, basically. It's like a compulsion. He's just like, well, that's still good. Don't put that. Optimist, don't put that in the dumpster. It's still good. It's still good.
That happened to me once. I had a guard, we threw out our air conditioner. And, like, we threw out our air conditioner. And, like,
Within minutes, some guy rings my doorbell and it's like, you're throwing out that air conditioner?
And I'm like, yeah.
Mind if I take it off your hands?
I'm going to fucking inject that Freon into my body.
Probably.
Meanwhile, he's holding it and caressing it at the door.
There's something about air conditioner.
I saw it first.
In this city, man, because I was throwing out an air conditioner once.
And then the dude found me.
It was like walking with me to the bodega.
Same voice, too.
He was just like, you get.
rid of that? And so
like I'm walking back with him now and like
trying to lose this guy. Yeah, yeah, it's right out there.
And he's like, all right, yeah.
And we get back and it's not there. And suddenly
he gives me this look like I owe him something.
Oh, no. Are you kidding? I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding.
He's the guy that used to smoke crap.
Crap. He used to smoke crack on my stoop. You've met him, Ben.
Well, sure. Yeah. I believe he was
caressing an air conditioner when I saw him.
I don't remember his name, but he was very distinct.
A.C. I think he got anywhere.
plug this in
you know I'd be really cool
if I could just plug this in
I just love the notion of someone puts
an air conditioner down on the sidewalk
and then either walks back inside
or walks to a bodega and someone's like
hey man are you throwing that out
or what just take it it's outside
it's garbage just walk away with it I don't want
to have any we're not bartering right now
yeah it's next to a pile of garbage
bags of course it's
garbage so I think that's what he's doing is like
yo can I you got to throw away that
Big Mac truck, bro?
I might if I pay you for it?
And also T.J. Miller, by the way,
T.J. Miller gives him the money to do it.
So Optimus Prime belongs to DJ Miller.
Yep. That's right. That is right.
He does. But then there's that
all that bullshit that we get from
from Marky Mark about how
some no-com, you sign a no-compete clause.
Like, come on.
Come on. You're the worst.
Something about like any intellectual
property that T.J. Miller comes up with what?
Like, he's working to fucking Disney.
Anything you come up with
while you work for me as mine or something?
You're working at Mark Wahlberg's fucking barn.
Anything you come up with on your own is your own.
There's no above the board
fucking legally filed
business practice here. Come on.
He does Marky Mark another character
as his precious baby daughter.
Oh, right.
So he could have barely legal.
Oh, actually illegal.
Right?
Illegal.
I think she's 17.
She's portrayed as at least
17 in this movie. I don't know
about the actress's age, but that is why
if you notice in this movie, there are
no fucking ramming the camera up
her ass shots because it's a child
Michael Bay. That's the
but she's probably the same age of Megan
Fox was supposed to be in the first one, right?
Yeah, probably. Well that's like we're
graduating high school. But also we were
from the perspective of a horny
teen. Oh, I see. The movie's perspective
of is like the doting
father now has to deal with
the boyfriend and whatnot.
Inventor.
Dumb Inventor.
Now we're watching this movie through the lens of dumb inventor.
And that's perfect.
That's what the movie feels like.
Sure.
This is the dumbest movie I've ever seen.
I'm going to stump Andrew right now.
Do you know we did an episode with this starring this girl not very long ago.
Do you have any idea what that movie might have been?
Was it Dracula Untold?
It was not.
Wild in the streets.
It was not, she's not a hundred and forty-one years old.
Avatar, she was one of the, she was the lead dead-eyed girl in The Last Airbender.
Oh, get out of town.
Yeah. She got her eyes fixed.
She's like, look at stuff now.
She got her eyes fixed.
Hey, her eyes finally on the cross.
She got hit in the face with a baseball again.
So, and his whole, Markey's whole thing is stop looking at my hot daughter, please.
Right.
Like, that's, like, his idea.
And the gags of, like, put a sweater on.
You're not doing this.
Just till you're 18, I'm going to be your date to the problem.
Like, how many of these bullshit Tim Allen dadisms can you fucking cram into just under three hours?
Eight simple rules for me not to be interested in your movie.
That's exactly what we're talking about.
It's really disrespectful that that show continued after the death of John Ritter.
Did they get a new dad?
No, but it just became eight simple rules and David Spade was ruling the rules.
What?
Why?
Because fucking business, man.
The finger thing means the most.
money. I've got to find out the continuity now, man. Like, what happened to Ritter? They killed them off.
They, the character, like, had a heart attack or something. Just like John Ritter, pretty much. So he had a
funeral in real life and on the show. Yeah. And then David Spade came in as like Katie Sigal's brother or something. I think it was David Spade. I think you're right. It might have been David Spade. It lasted way longer than it should have after the death of
comedy legend John Ritter. That'll happen with we ate movies one day. One of us will die. We'll have an on-air
funeral. And then David Spade will
replace Chris Cabin. Exactly.
It'd be fun to get Spade in here. We could do black sheep.
Yeah. I feel like lost and found.
So,
um,
uh,
he brings Optimus Prime who's like great. I guess what he gets hurt like his,
his color pigment was off. I think this is like camo mode or some shit.
Incognito, man. I have a question about this. Please.
Relating to why,
and he's disheveled, right? Yeah, it looks like shit. I thought,
You know, it's because he was
almost died or something
in the last movie. No, I think
that's the fucking secret thing in Mexico
that we're not privy to. I've been down on
my luck, sucking tailpipe for
quarters.
This isn't rust.
Come on, Ratchet, I'll
suck your tailpipe for some of that
Energon. We're all brothers
here. I just need enough to get a spark
on. I got some of
iron hides bad
junk. Now I'm gray for
Forever.
Crocodile.
That sounds like a transformer.
Oh, it's crocodile.
You want to inject some of my auto deal in you, eh?
Okay.
Sorry, I'm sorry.
Sorry, Ben.
We almost get crocodile later on.
We kind of do.
I think that's what that guy's name is.
But at a certain point, not to jump too far ahead, but he scans a truck.
how does that work exactly
we learn in the first movie
when a transformer looks at something
it can turn into it so long
provided it's a car
pretty stupid
it makes no sense
well and then why would he
I guess to your point Andrew
he's like he's undercover
but then wouldn't you just be like
I don't know be a shitty jalopy station wagon
or I don't know like a for sale
sign or I because I don't think
the size differential
can be that great
like he can be a shittier mac
truck right but he can't be like
a little Ferrari or something.
I thought it was like dignity or something.
Like at the end of the day, I am still a truck.
A truck is a truck.
I understand.
I understand.
I was under the impression.
He somehow instantly healed himself while on the highway.
And it's like, all right, this doesn't make any sense.
No, no, no, no, no.
Now it makes slightly more sense.
It's like when the Ninja Turtles put on a trench coat.
That's pretty much it.
But Mark Wahlberg, who can't fucking fix a doorbell,
fixes a 7 million-year-old alien-slash car.
It's so, I mean, this dude gets to work on Optimus Prime.
And by the way, he notices pretty quickly that it is a transformer.
And he's like, bro, we got a transformer in the bond.
Let's do it.
And we're saying transformer now in this movie.
We've always said either Autobot or Decepticon.
And now Mark has just been like, oh, it's a transformer, bro.
They're all the same, right?
Because now the government hates both of them.
Oh, I see.
And there's a line.
There's a telephone line you're supposed to call to,
report it well and that's see something say something that's i mean that's the thing right so after this
third movie ben where basically like the city of chicago is leveled uh but it's back for this movie
though everything's yeah to get to get sort of leveled again for part of the movie they built those
skyscrapers up real fast but so the whole thing now is like okay like there was this fucking
two hundred nine eleven's terrorist attacked by these aliens so this whole movie is like aping
post-9-11 fears and shit
the see-something say something
all that stuff like
you're you're you're you all you robots
are the same
so they put in a transformer ban
and we're still waiting to see
if the Supreme Court
will take up
but we do get a scene
the last last scene of ratchet
I felt really bad when this happened you guys
I don't know if you guys get choked up
no ratchet is just like you know
live in his life you know what I mean
he probably's got a boyfriend somewhere
something you know what I mean like he's he's finally come out like he's no longer under optimist's
gaze he's totally I could live my life as I want to live and then the fucking government got
him this is the transformer that was killed at the beginning of the picture yeah yeah that's like
green I just love like when we're gonna when we're gonna kill a transformer in this fashion
boy oh boy do we murder these transformers it's so gruesome it's it is gruesome even by robot
death standards like and it's like oh yeah you followed this the adventures of this
but for the last three movies.
Now he's going to get picked apart
and shot in the face
and stabbed through the chest.
Yeah, like, I think lockdown
takes his heart out.
By the way, you know who's running
the CIA ops?
Our friend Bosch.
Oh, right. Titus Welliver.
Oh, no.
Bosch.
Look out for Bosch, man.
He's coming.
He's got a fucking duster
to beat the band in this movie.
I'm an Amazon original.
Have you seen Bosch, Ben?
Are you a Bosch watcher?
I'm not a Bosch watcher,
but I know that.
actor from
Deadwood.
Oh,
was he on
Deadwood?
Yeah.
He played
that as short
and he was
only a couple
episodes but
Was it Bosch's
great, great,
great, great,
Grandpathy?
Could have been.
He was a
gunslinger.
Hesperus Bosch.
Romeas Bosch.
Tidus We were
also the man in
black on loss
like one of the big
like series villain
towards the end of the show.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
I mean, Titus Wallever
is just kind of like a cheap
heavy, you know what I mean?
Like he's a heavy,
but he's just
He's less expensive than the other heavy.
Yeah, that's perfect.
Good death in this movie.
He does.
Good death.
And Kelsey Grammer actually is running the whole outfit, by the way.
Hello.
Oh, no.
Kelsey Grammer.
They should just made it beast.
Oh, you get the part.
crossover.
Yeah.
Oh, you get the part transformers.
It's funny you said cheap heavy because I have underlined on my little notebook here,
cheap gravitas.
Is that for Kelsey Grammar?
What's amazing to me, and I was texting you guys about this last night
when I was sitting through two hours and 45 minutes of this movie.
I don't know.
And we sort of talked about this with regard to Transformers Dark of the Moon
and the politics in that movie.
I don't understand what the angle is here
because it's like you've got Kelsey Grammer,
known extreme conservative actor.
Well, not extreme.
He's a very conservative actor.
He's a neo-Nazi.
I mean, he's not saying, you know, give funerals for aborted fetuses or whatever, but, you know, he's...
Hitler did, nothing wrong, Niles.
But no, like, known conservative actor, very, like, war hockey, very fucking terroristy, this and that, blah, blah, blah.
But in this movie, he's playing that, but that is clearly the villain of the movie.
It's, I mean, the politics are always kind of South Parky and everybody's a little bit wrong, I think.
It's designed to confuse you, you know?
Yeah.
So everyone's having fun, okay, right? All right.
What are the, I mean, what are base politics?
Does anyone ever read on what his politics are?
Well, first, you've got the Democrats over here, and they can just go, bra!
And then you've got the Republicans over here, and then you go, shah!
And then they come together in the House of Congress, and you go, blah!
That's actually pretty accurate.
Okay, that makes a good deal of sense.
But this is when I was...
So he's a third party, Gary Johnson type that I'm getting upset.
He's money.
That's all he cares about
That's what I was confused about though
Last week because if you recall
He made that fucking
He made the Benghazi story
Into an action movie
That's also true
So I don't know what that is either
I don't know how to read this movie
And it was kind of really bothering me
I think Ben's got it right
It's Kaboom
It's kind of what you should be
Kaboom
And when the dust settles
There's a big fucking golden dollar sign
In front of a beautiful American flag
And a babe
and a fucking babe.
And then a car drives up her.
What?
And it becomes a robot.
Woo.
So Optimus Prime
turns into Optimus Prime.
And then everyone's like, oh shit, it's Optimus Prime.
And I feel like he's like, no, I'm not.
I'm Ronnie the robot.
I get that all the time.
Baseball cap and sunglasses.
No, it's like when Hannibal Lecter's blending into the crowd at the end of silence and he just puts that hat out, he's like, oh, no, I have to go.
I'm having an old friend for dinner.
And he just walks down the street in the Bahamas.
A tune-up.
I have an old friend for a tuna.
I mean, yeah, he does try to play it out.
I'm optimist, what?
Sounds like a pretty cool dude.
I haven't heard that name in a long time.
he's also freaking out too like when they wake up he's like get away from me i'll kill you i'll kill
you human get away for me waving his robot gun around like a drunkard he is he's still got that
mexico city junk in him whatever went out in mexico is still with him it haunts him to this day
why couldn't that be i don't know like a fucking prequel comic or something tell me what happened
New Mexico.
Oh, man, Optimus and
he falls in with the cartel
for a little bit.
He's trying to take down El Chapo.
Yes, yes, yes.
El Chapo needs to be
in the Transformers' verse.
Let's see you dig a tunnel now,
motherfucker.
Blamo.
Optimus Prime in the chop house.
Oh, watch out.
Either you give me the stuff
or we...
Or I transfer you
to American custody.
Oh shit.
Oh, shit.
Iron Hyde, that guy's got a lion.
Like a real lion.
It's a real deal fucking lion, iron hide.
Look at Iron Hyde, just look at it.
It's a real lion.
They took two of my fingers.
Which actually, which are also part of,
those are my shocks.
So it's going to be a real bumpy ride from now
until the end of my life.
But I just built some new ones.
But fuck Iron Hyde.
That was worth it for all that delicious cocaine.
So we can only assume that when he went dormant,
he was waving a gun around high on cocaine, ready to kill someone.
Yes, yeah.
Optimist?
Yeah, that's why when you put the tape back in, he's like,
I'll fucking kill you, motherfucker.
He's in the middle of a Coke freakout, and he wakes up in the...
Right.
At the end of the world.
It's fantastic.
Bay is one step ahead of all of us.
So, T.J. Miller is like, oh, I saw it.
You know, if you, you know, T.J. Miller's like, oh, by the way, the last time we've seen Transformers, you know, Chicago was destroyed. Also, we can get a lot of money. We have money problems if I just turn in. And I'm kind of with T.J. Miller here, man. Like, I don't know a fucking car or anything. Like, you know, I don't care.
Yeah, I think, like, you could have avoided all these problems if you just turned in Optimus Prime because the only reason, um, what's this dude's name? Gravedigger?
Who is the bad guy?
Master truck,
Lockdown.
Lockdown, yeah.
The only reason Lockdown
like starts shit
in the first place
is because Optimus Prime
starts fucking with him.
Yeah.
If it wasn't for that,
as far as I understand
this movie,
if this deal went down
and Kelsey Grammer
got this stupid thing
and Stanley Tucci's company
could make these transformers
and whatever,
like lockdown would have just gone away.
Granted the reincarnated soul
of Megatron,
which is now in Galvatron,
which is now voiced
by Frank Welker,
instead of Hugo Weaving
would have risen up
and like taking over humanity anyway
man there's a lot to this movie
I can't wait to be reincarnated
as a more affordable actor
that's really really exciting to me
I would love it if Frank Welker
cost more than Hugo Weaving
that's the way it should go
because Frank Welker
voicing Galvatron in this movie
and is it solely Galvatron or is he doing
anybody else here? He must be doing six robots at least
but he is really fucking bringing
it to Galvatron
Oh yeah he's having fun with it
It's awesome, because you want to learn from the master man,
learn from Frank Welker, right there.
I mean, for all we know, it could be a push.
This thing still costs $200 million or whatever.
Like, good God.
So much money.
It's insane.
So, yeah, T.J. Miller turns into T. Judas Miller.
And, yeah, you like that one?
No.
Good.
That's why I said it.
He turns on everybody
and Titus Welliver
and Kelsey Grammer
Kelsey Grammer's like watching everyone through
this bee he has
Oh yeah the little drone bee that he's got
That's kind of fun
It's also more fucking weird bullshit
I don't know the viewpoint of the movie
Well I don't want to go there
You know what I'll just send a four foot bee
No one'll notice that four foot bee
Kelsey Grammer definitely has
The Honeyman
The Honeyman
Kelsey Grammer definitely has a George W. Bush fucking deck of playing cards with transformers on them.
Instead of Iraqis.
Yeah.
Now we took out Iron Hyde.
Who's left?
I'm going to get all these transformers.
Oh, man.
People don't even believe that they got Iron Hide.
They dropped him off the side of a boat.
I don't know if they got him.
Where's the proof, bro?
So whatever, T.J. Miller, like, calls the police on them, turns them in.
all these government agents roll up to Mark Wahlberg's
fucking Friday Night Lights ranch
you know from Texas that's
you know that's what I do
there's definitely a Friday Night Lights
esch shot in this movie though like as we're introduced
to the daughter and it's like
there's kind of even bullshit explosions in the sky
music and then this car pulls up and it's all these like sexy
Texas teens and she gets out and it's like see you at the dance
tomorrow yay but the weird thing is
he's an he's an inventor that used to play football like that's part of his character too well it's
texas everyone used to play football okay oh but that's a plot point big plot point yep don't you
forget he knocked t j miller out with a throw right to the dome oh that comes back well i did not
know that i didn't pay attention so um optimist is like hiding and then like uh titus well
is about to blow his daughter
away. And Kelsey Gramer gives
the order. He's like, yeah, just shoot an American
on American soil. It's totally fine. Do it. Shoot it right
in the head. But see, the thing about it is, if you
do that, you would
then have to kill Mark Wahlberg. Well, yeah, you've got
and T.J. Miller, you've got to kill
all the witnesses. It's a slash and burn operation at that point.
Absolutely. They do it every day.
I should mention, by the way, this is not the first
instance of trouble we've seen at Mark Wahlberg's
farm because a few minutes before this in the
movie, he chases away
an African-American woman
who's like a real estate agent
who's trying to sell like his like
his house is in foreclosure
his house is in foreclosure
he chases this woman away from the
with a baseball bat like
like she's a she's an elderly
Vietnamese man
I see look up
Mark Wahlberg's personal history
to understand that joke better
oh my Lord
what did you talk about bro
I love all people
bro that guy said he was cool with me
it's fine I gave him a bunch of money
he forgot him
about it. Mainly due to the brain damage. You didn't remember any of it. I mean, he's a piece of
shit in this movie. Yeah. There's no way around it. I hated his character. It's obnoxious. Everything
he says and does is obnoxious. You want him to be taken out by either Kelsey Grammer,
tied as well over a robot of some kind. It's crazy because I was so excited, not excited to watch
this movie, but I was excited to have Mark Wahlberg over Shial above. Because it's a change of pace.
We've done three movies with essentially the same cast. Right.
Now it's like, all right, we hit the reset button.
We still have all the beloved robots,
which is what the movie should just be 95% of it anyway.
They should just call it the beloved robots.
I think that's how it translates in Japan, actually.
Come to me, my beloved robots.
That's how Michael Bay starts every new Transformers movie.
Day one on set.
Let's all break bread together, my beloved robots.
Yeah, Walbert kind of stinks.
you know he stinks he's not very like i he's putrid he's not he's terrible and his character
is even worse yeah he's behind six months on rent like he's he's carried movies before but this
is like i guess because he's given nothing to do he i mean to be fair daddy bullshit that's all you
do yeah and it's weird it's also weird to see him as a father like that i don't know why maybe
it reminds me of my own mortality but yo bro is this so this guy's like a dad right
but he still goes out right
on Saturday night he's like yo I'm
going out he's a swole dad
Mike listen
I'll play this dad but this dad
bro he's got to be cool
he's got to be a cool dad
so he's going out though right
he's not a dad that's not going to be home on Saturday night
look this dad's got his own pussy posse posse right
you can throw a tight spiral
what happened to the mother
dude was that a dress dead
she's dead dead
Under suspicious circumstances.
I believe she died in childbirth or maybe not?
No, I don't think it's...
Oh, no, I think it was a shallow grave.
Oh, I see.
Oh, so there was like a bunch of roommates
in an apartment that they were fighting over
and Danny Boyle's shallow grave.
Yes, yes, exactly.
And then, yes.
Yo, bro.
I can't make the rent on these inventive payments.
I got to kill my wife.
Oh, dude, an insurance thing,
like double indemnity or something.
Oh, there you go.
That's a great movie.
Well, I saw this movie.
Let's talk about that instead.
Yo, Mike, ever see double indemnity?
I can never say it.
Double and damnit.
It's a tough one.
Double indemnity.
Mike, did you see double indemnity?
I mean, they never address it,
but we can only assume she was killed by one of his inventions.
Oh, of course.
It was the painting robot.
It accidentally dropped a painting roller
and picked up what it thought was the painting roller,
but it was a knife.
Kelsey Graham is actually there
to investigate the insurance claims.
Dubley indemnify.
What?
Oh, God, I have to start a movie
with Mark Wahlberg.
Holy shit, you were on Cheers.
It's my favorite show.
Do you love the Red Sox?
Yo, do you still talk to Coach or what?
Wait, you're paying me how much?
Yo, in the timeline of Cheers,
did Sam Malone win a world
series with the socks.
Ah, sure.
You know, I played that character to great acclaim for 11 seasons on its own show, Frasier.
What?
Frazier, it was the character's name of Frazier Crane.
It was called, what?
You know, until I was 31 years old, I didn't know that John Ratsenberger wasn't our mailman.
My mom told me on my 35.
first birthday. It was crazy. I was like, no way.
Dule, I'm dead to hide.
So whatever. I mean, like,
it takes a while, but
we, um, we meet
up with the rest of the last of the
Autobots because a bunch of them have
all died in that card scene that you see
like other robots that you should
be seeing in this movie are now dead.
And it's these three robots
that have been hiding in the desert.
And it's, I guess, because
he's a fan favorite bumblebees.
still around. He's got to be, yeah. But then just
these two other fucking things. One
is John Goodman and one's Ken
Watanabe. And there's three actually. And then the other guy's
like, I don't know, like, oh yeah, this
English guy. Yeah, he's like, crosshairs.
He's an autobot in a
duster. He's like got a robot. Yes,
it's like a cape coat. I think
it's a robot wearing a cape coat.
Wait, were none of these robots
in previous? Aside
from Bumblebee. Just Bumblebee.
By the way, Bumblebee's
abandoned Sam Whitwiki
I guess, right?
They were like best buds.
Right.
But now this bumblebee,
I mean, the thing is,
Sam is gone,
obviously probably to get him out or something,
but bumblebee has a fucking fetish, man.
I was noticing this.
He loves getting sexy teens inside of him.
That's very true.
Which is a big fetish for a lot of people.
Get inside of me.
Right?
I'm so excited.
Because he's driving around the daughter.
and then the boyfriend that shows up
and then I think evaporates at a certain point.
Oh, dude, this guy's nothing.
I mean, I'm sure the actor's fine, but like, it's water vapor.
He shows up and saves the family
like he's an Irish race car driver.
Yeah, he's just signed with Red Bull.
We learned at the beginning of the movie.
It's a secret boyfriend situation.
So it's one of these, like, when Titus Welliver
is laying waste to Mark Wahlberg's house,
which I cheered at.
Oh, when that farm blows up, absolutely.
Absolutely. I was like, yeah. Blow it up. I will say I do appreciate Michael Bay's commitment to blowing up actual houses. You know, you got you got to give it to him. It's not CGI. No. He will blow up a house. He actually was, it was actually a foreclosure house and he forced out the family that was living there at the time and then blew it out. Oh, it's really brave. Yeah. So that's why that's that. That's that scene. That's seen with the woman coming to try to show the realtor trying to show the house. That was inspired by true life events. Oh, wow. Well, that's crazy. Oh, and the commentary track, man.
The crazy thing I heard about that was in the deal of getting the house.
Michael Bay demanded that that family that was getting kicked out
leave all their earthly possessions inside.
Exactly.
And he blew up their entire life.
Right, yeah.
He kept on saying for realism.
Yeah.
And back payment.
He kept saying something like,
this will get you square with the government.
Right, yeah.
It was wild shit.
Man, that guy is one bad boy.
So, yeah, this deal.
dude rolls up and it's one of this like, who's this fucking guy?
And why is he calling your baby?
Yeah.
It's like, uh, because he's fucking her.
Yeah.
And there's like a drift scene where he's like, oh, she's got the best hands in the business.
She and I do this like weird drift maneuver.
Yeah, whatever.
Yeah, the fucking Paris, Texas street racing scene.
Hi, I'm an Irishman in Paris, Texas.
Yeah.
For some reason.
And this guy, it's unfortunate that this guy's wasted.
He got lost on the way to real Paris.
It's unfortunate that this guy's wasted in this movie
because he is a good actor.
You can see him playing the older brother in Sing Street,
which is a very underrated movie from last year.
And this year, he's in Ben Wheatley's Free Fire.
Okay.
Doing another good job.
So, like, he's a good actor.
And it's just, this is a dog shit role for this guy.
This movie is a steamroller of people that could be doing better things.
Oh, totally.
See fucking Stanley Tucci in 52 minutes into this movie.
Oh, no.
Stanley Tucci.
It's a tuch, man.
He's like a Steve Jobs-esque figure, I guess.
You better believe it.
Yeah, he's in the transformer business.
And again, like, I'm a little unclear.
We're all in the transformer business now, Steve.
So after, like, he's working with Kelsey.
And, like, the dynamic changes, like, six times in the movie.
Like, sometimes Stanley Tochie is taking orders from Kelsey Grammer.
Sometimes Kelsey Grammer is taking orders from Stanley Tucci, and back and forth we go.
Right, yeah, because this script just doesn't know power dynamics of characters.
Because the CIA is working with Stanley Tucci's company, because Stanley Tucci is going to engineer these transformers with what we're calling transformium.
Transformium, by the way.
I almost shit on my couch.
It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Transformium.
You couldn't call it anything else?
You know, these guys, he would name it after himself or something.
Yes, exactly.
Like, whatever his name is, like, John Jacobs or something.
It's like calling Dracula's blood, like draclanium or something.
Like, it's just as fucking stupid as that sounds.
you get a little drachlanium in you,
you become a vampire yourself.
Exactly right, dude.
I think, oh, actually,
that should have been something in this movie.
Vampires?
Well, oh, shit.
Vampire Transformer.
That's an idea.
Put that in your back pocket.
Or vampires fighting transformers.
Oh, also cool.
Because the fangs do nothing.
My fangs do nothing.
I mean, vampires are also kind of a transformer.
That's true.
That's very true.
It turned into a bat.
Oh, my God.
Oh, that's totally right.
How did they not happen yet?
How did this not happen?
Well, these movies need to be stupider than they are.
And that's, that's the, like, we're in four.
Let's get to fucking vampires.
Anamorphs.
Yes, anamorphs.
One of those books is animorphs.
Animorphs was pretty stupid.
Because, like, we have the dinosaur, we have the dinosaur robots later,
but we have to, like, try and put them into some bullshit.
No, no, no.
Just fucking dinosaur robots.
And, uh-oh, it's vampire robots.
I don't go, fuck.
Sure.
Why not?
I don't remember where I was going with that before.
Before we start talking about vampire.
Oh, if a car acted like a vampire, that would be pretty cool.
Just goes right for the gas tank.
See the movie Ferrat Vampire Car, which is a...
What?
Hold on.
It's called Fur Fart, Vampire Car.
I think it's called Ferrat the Vampire Car.
That sounds...
No one of the gas.
This is a cartoon with...
Is it called Nose Fiatu?
Oh.
I mean, it's...
It's a racing car that is also a vampire.
Well, you got me so far.
That actually sucks the blood of human people from the gas pedal.
What?
Oh, wait a second.
Your gas pedal detail, now something's starting to ring a little familiar here.
It's an 82 Czechoslovakian horror movie called Ferat Vampire.
What?
Yeah, I saw it at the spectacle theater a couple years ago.
Oh, we used to play there in the early days of We Hate Movies.
A great little spot in Williamsburg.
We'll see weird movies.
Like Farot Vampire, which is a vampire car,
which should have fought the Transformer.
Yeah, that checks out.
Oh, no, it's Farat, the Czechoslovakian vampire car.
He's the Transformer's worst enemy.
I think this movie's kind of about communism a little bit.
Bumbo Bigg, help me out here.
That country's split.
Is he Czech or Slovak?
So Stanley Tucci is a...
Oh, wait, hang on a second.
If we're already getting to the Tuch,
we got to mention the biggest mistake,
the biggest wrong turn since this is a car movie that this movie makes man it's no joyride
yeah no it's not oh that candy cane yeah that might be a stay tuned save it for the fucking
sputacular stevee you're ted levine how'd we make four of these wrong turn's a movie series too
right wrong turn yeah it's like seven of those wrong turn yeah with eliza dishku that's like
rednecks fucking people in the hills that's cool yeah oh oh no I was just gonna say so we have
this like fucking Tokyo drift
scene that happens. There's a bunch of
bullshit. Optimus Prime is fighting
with LoJack. What's his name?
Lockdown. Sorry, Lockjaw.
Lockjaw. Oh, no.
I got Lockjaw again. Boy, these
are hard times. I suck the wrong
tailpipe. It is a transformer
STD. So they're having this big
like chase scene to do and whatnot. And then
so lockdown is like, hey,
remember that thing from earlier in the
movie? When we dropped that
bomb and it fucking decimated all those dinosaurs and turned it into metal guess what hey earth
it's fuck time and he drops another one of these things and it goes flying and boy oh boy
doesn't literally the best part of this movie t j miller gets swooped up in this shit and killed
instantly he gets pompeed man big time there's like a gray skeleton and you're just like there's
the best part of that movie turned into a fucking silver skeleton it should have been his movie he
He buys Optimus Prime.
He's, you know,
he was like a comedic relief.
There kind of is none in this movie
other than how bad it is.
Yeah, but that's also like,
all these movies have that, right?
You got like Titoro in those three movies.
Shia is funny.
Shia is doing funny stuff.
And T.J. Miller, not for nothing.
I think the guy's great.
He makes this movie fucking tolerable.
He's in this Transformers movie.
You know he knows it's bullshit.
shit and everybody's having a good
time and they fucking murder him
and it's like well there's nothing. And no one cares.
You know why? Michael Bay
didn't think he was funny. Yep. Is that true?
That's an IMAB thing. Michael Bay
really? Michael Bay like T.J. Miller
I guess has talked extensively about this like he's
gone up to, he went up to T.J. Miller while they
were filming is like, you're not fun
like do it funnier. Like why?
You haven't said a funny thing all day.
Everybody's looking at you. Nobody thinks
that you're funny. You're wasting
everybody's time on this set. Meanwhile,
while the dude is just naturally hysterical
and it's like it's oh god it makes your blood boil
reading that bit of trivia on the Tribune
because it's bullshit it's fucking bullshit
that's interesting because I mean again
I agree it is the
it's the most surprising thing that's happens
in the movie because like when that stupid grenade goes off
you can tell like it's the explosions
that kind of go away from some
like someone as they're running through it
yeah the main characters are conveniently avoiding
They're right in the middle of, like, where it's breaking.
Yeah, exactly.
And so I'm like, all right, fine, this is dumb.
And then, boom, all of a sudden he's incinerated.
And it's like, that totally plays into that where it's like, no, I'm going to kill you off.
Because also, that doesn't happen in these movies.
Yes.
Like, in these movies, it's always like, I fucking fell out of a building.
Right.
Boy, oh, boy, are my arms tired.
And you just see this dude get lit up.
And not only does this dude get lit up, it's the best part of the thing.
the movie getting lit up because the director
had a problem with him. I want to see the
original draft this fucking script. Yeah, he's probably there
until the end. Yep. Oh, I bet you
anything he is. And it's fucking ridiculous
because the only person who cares in the movie
is a goddamn robot. Because
Optimus Prime's like, I'm sorry
about your fallen friend. And Mark
Walberg's like,
and they've been working with him and
I don't know what out, going to high school in Paris
Texas 20 years apart. Best buds forever, man.
They went skinny dipping
with Sybil Shepard? No one gives a
fucking flying shit that he's
been murdered. Nothing. No one
cares. Never comes up again. Nothing.
And I'm sitting there like, man, they're gonna like
could you take like a chisel to him
be like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. And like he's still
in there. That's how much I wanted
this character to still be alive.
Yo, he's gone, bro.
He's just gone. I'm kind of scared, man.
I think Michael Bay's gonna kill my character off.
T.J. Miller just went.
Oh man, I better say my lines. I got to learn my lines
good. Oh, maybe Cade Yeager can
chip off some pieces and put it in a robot.
Or alternate theory.
Yo, Mike, can I talk to you for a second, bro?
Listen, I think you did a great job cast in this movie,
but I got to tell you, I don't like
the fact that T.J. Miller thinks he's fucking
funnier than me. Everybody knows
I'm the funniest fucking person on this set, bro.
Yo, and I tried to go out with him three nights in a row,
and the third night, he was like, yo, I'm busy.
And I'm like, yo, bro, we're going out tonight.
The dude didn't even put out, man.
You know, and I heard him talking shit about eating out of Walburgers, bro.
Which also, by the way, you guys hear this?
You hear about this?
Wait, no, no, no.
Is there news about Walburgers?
You hear about this?
Stop the show.
Reep.
Wallburgers news update.
Wallburgers coming to the big apple.
Oh, my God.
Hello.
Yep.
Big news.
I thought it was already here.
I don't think so.
Look out Shake Shank.
Yeah, totally.
Wallburgers.
I think it's coming to the Upper East side.
Oh, wow.
We'll have to do a big trip.
Yeah, I'm not going to a fucking shake shake.
It's for Mets fans.
Let's go socks, Walburgers.
Everybody knows the socks all eat Walburgers before every fucking game, bro.
Why is everyone pissing on my storefront?
Welcome to New York, piss.
I wish.
So he meets up with, yeah, John Goodman as a general bot.
And Ken Watson, a hound, by the way.
A robot cigar.
Why is this robot's
What is this?
Can I just, we're all baffled by the robot cigar, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What is happening?
Sometimes a robot cigar is just a robot cigar.
Is it an e-cigarette?
I guess it is, right?
He's like smoking himself.
And Ben Worcester, let me tell you, Ben Worcester.
If I could smoke myself, I'd never leave the house.
But actually later in the movie Crosshairs, the British, you know, sexy one,
He's got a little toothpick in his mouth
He's got a little robot toothpick
I didn't notice that
I thought it was just trapped
Jesus Steve
Were you watching this on Blu-ray?
Oh I got the best quality from Prime
And then we have Ken Watanabe
As a samurai robot
Whose name is Drift
Who calls
And it's like one thing
Like you know
We've already
We've had the conversations
About why are their British ones
Blah blah blah
Why you know
Putting all that aside
why would he call Optimus Prime
Sensei? Is that a
is that a Cybertronian word
or what are we talking about here?
I think he's just fucking with him.
Oh, okay.
It's just Ken Watanabe's
Drift character. Drift, you know,
he's just fucking with him.
He's fucking with old optimist.
He knows that Optimus gets off
on power shit like that.
Like, oh yeah, he fucking called me
Sensei. Boy, that gets my
transformium boiling.
Mm, yes.
I truly am the last.
night. Oh, yeah.
You know.
Oh, I hate it all.
My favorite part of this whole sequence is like, they're all like, I don't know, they're
like, lone loners in the desert and like, you know, Optimus reigns them in and they talk
about all the robots that died and John Goodman takes his helmet off out of respect.
It's like taking your head off.
What are you fucking beetlechews?
Just stop it.
It doesn't make any fucking sense.
You're a robot.
That is part of you.
Also disgusting, John Goodman's hound character
definitely has a gross robot beard.
Yes.
What is that?
I don't know.
Because what's his face's character in, is it the second one?
A rip fire or something?
Jet fire.
Jet fire, like the old bastard Civil War era robot.
Yeah.
He's got a beard too.
Why do robots have beards?
Why are robots smoking?
And the biggest question of all, because it applies to hound.
It applies to that Scottish robot from the last.
movie who you see a fucking death tape of in this movie talk about found footage how are these robots obese
and how is it that then they can say shit like fat robot and hound gets offended by it how does a robot
know what fat is fat bot i don't understand yet like they don't have metabolisms they're cars and he's just
walking and this robot gut is like Chris farleying back and forth it's so
so, so,
I turned into a van
down by the river.
Oh man,
he's living in himself.
Wait, that's a great point.
I feel like when they show
the car versions of everyone,
aren't they all like race cars
other than Optimus Prime
and there's one helicopter?
You see John Goodman.
What is he?
He's like an army truck thing.
Oh, okay, okay.
But that's not fat.
I don't know.
It's not fat.
It's just like he's supposed,
to be an army guy. I'm just making sure he wasn't a fucking race car because that would be bullshit.
He's not a sleek, sexy Italian race car. But we do get now, we have John Goodman voicing this
character, but we also get to hear, oh, you know who John Goodman is? Well, let's play a clip of
the Big Lebowski, everyone. Oh, and I am supposed to be laughing. Meanwhile, I just want to be watching
the Big Labowski. Because Bumblebee talks in fucking audio clips, and it's just like,
that. Jesus fucking Christ
every fucking time. Don't they
play the calmer than you are? Yes.
Comber and you are, dude.
Wink.
You didn't see, Ben,
you were absent. You didn't see
these other movies. They do the same
fucking Leonard Nimor
is in the last one we did, right? Was that three?
Yeah, part three. I can't even remember with this
fucking garbage. And they're
playing fucking Spock clips
throughout the fucking movie. And
Ben, someone, uh,
who's not, or is it Leonard Nimoy?
Oh, yeah, that's what it is. Leonard Nimoy
gives the Spock delivery of
the needs of the many outweigh the needs
of the few, but he's the villain
of the film.
Come on. So Spock's great famous line
is fucking bastardized
by his film. Perverted.
Perverted. Preverted indeed, Ben Worcester.
Sex crime.
So we decide
to go back to Chicago because there's
something left of it, and that's where
Stanley Tucci's like, uh,
operation is, and he's making
transformers. He's accidentally
resurrected Megatron as Galvatron.
He's got another
bumble-b-esque resurrection
as something called the Stinger.
Yeah, so basically the idea
is Stanley Tucci, the Tuch himself,
has harnessed the
Transformium. And it's
Transformium that allows you to make
anything into anything is what they
say in this movie. And you better
believe it's a thing where he's like,
he's holding this Transformium, and it's just like
a bunch of bricks floating in his hand.
And he's like, look at this. You can make
anything. And his hands are right in front of the
fucking camera. And it turns into a
beats by Dreepil. Just
right there. Product placement.
Do you know what it turns into a
Glock? Product placement.
That's what's amazing. He's like,
oh, you don't like this deliciously
affordable Bluetooth speaker?
How about this?
It's a handgun.
Do you know
what the number IMDB gives on product
placement in this movie? No, I don't. Oh, God, I bet it's astronomical. Let's do a little bit of
prices right. Let's go around the one here. I'm going to guess 50 products. Okay. I'm going to guess
51. Okay. This number represents a running tally or the amount of products in this movie
product placement. Yeah. What's the difference? Well, like, if, you know, if Beats by Dre shows up
three times. Oh, oh, I see. It's exactly the number of product.
I'm going to guess
36.
55.
Oh, come on.
Drew Carey,
did I win a kitchen set?
No.
I think Eric won it.
You said 50, right?
You said 51.
I said 51.
So Price is right rules
means anything above that.
I thought you did 49.
I'm sorry.
No, I know.
Fuck, fuck.
Yeah, you're dead now.
Fucking,
fuck,
fuck you,
Drew Carey.
Why isn't he a robot?
But you know what?
Because we have two continents worth
because we go to China
and we start to, it's like everyone's like,
oh, look at this delicious Chinese water
that I'm drinking.
Dude, what a fun Chinese jukebox.
Dude, at the KSI headquarters
where Stanley Tucci runs this
Transformian farm or whatever this fuck.
They start making their own transformers,
like human-made transformers
that are going to be run by humans,
which is actually going to be run by Galvatron.
Which kind of should be what the movie is.
That's what the movie is because that's your fucking
criticism of drone warfare
and it's me again getting confused
about the politics of this movie.
But there's a fucking Oreo
transformer.
Oh, wait.
And there's an actual wiki page
where you could read about
the Oreo transformer.
But dude, you were talking about this.
You were texting about this
before I got to that part of the movie
and I didn't see it.
Dude, it's blinking you miss it.
It's a fucking like a vending machine bot
that turns into a transformer.
Oh, stop.
And he's just instantly shot and killed,
but you could just see quickly.
It's like a blue transformer made by the government.
And there is a fucking Oreo symbol, like, not simple, it says Oreo.
Like the logo, the logo.
Of course.
It is on his shoulders.
It is offensive.
That's terrible.
But also, the thing about the Chinese product placement is kind of genius because it's
them realizing like, oh, fuck.
Like, these movies are massive in China.
Sure.
The Chinese box office is like out of control.
How do we take advantage of that?
Oh, that's why the whole second half of the movie is in China.
Let's take it to Hong Kong and we'll plug all these juice boxes.
See also Iron Man 3.
Exactly.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you're totally right.
I forgot about that.
I wonder I didn't know, I didn't, was there an alternate cut of this as well?
Because Iron Man 3 has an alternate cut with this more Chinese scenes.
I don't.
A Chinese subplot.
Yeah, I didn't hear about that for this Transformers movie.
But who knows.
I mean, it's just all, it's how you get that sweet, sweet cash.
But that fucking Iron Man thing was actually.
genius, though, because
they had, like, I forget who the actor
was, but it was like a major
Chinese actress who had like this huge
storyline that they just like
totally excised from all other
releases. Yeah. Kind of weird
and kind of like, we have no
fucking artistic integrity whatsoever.
That's how you get that sweet, sweet yuan.
Oh, absolutely.
You on running in, man. There you go.
So Stanley Tucci,
I can't believe
Stanley Tucci's in this movie.
To be fair, he is pretty good in this movie.
Like, he is.
He's the best part of the movie.
Like, he owns every scene.
Easily.
It's supposed to be like the Terturo.
Yeah, he's better than Tarturo was in the last one.
Well, because I feel he has several scenes where he's like knowingly freaking out about being in this like movie.
You know, he's like, in the context of the scene, he's supposed to be like, he can't believe what's going on around him.
Like, how are we?
Like, there's one scene where they're in like a, they take refuge.
in a glass enclosure
and he's incredulous about it
but he feels like he's
drawing from like how am I in this movie
how did I wind up
in a Transformer? Keep thinking about
that new bathroom, Tuch. Just keep
thinking about that new bathroom. Do you think
Stanley Tucci has paid off his
Sunni purchase student loans? No, absolutely not.
No, no, no, no, no. Because it's one thing
we know about going to Sunni purchase, you
will be fucked for life with student loans.
Good thing there's going to be a Transformers
14 or whatever
The Tooch returns
Transformers 5.
Invent tuitionium.
It can turn it
You can turn to anything you want
Even a fucking zero dollar balance.
Exactly.
So fast forwarding a bit,
there's a fight on a highway
Between Galvatron and Optimus Prime.
Yeah, big time.
We get to see these Transformium bots in action
for the first time.
And they kind of like just,
as opposed to transformers
who are like a little bit chunky
in the transforming,
these guys swirl around like bees?
It looks pretty cool.
I got to say.
It looks pretty cool.
It was a breath of fresh air
at the very least.
I watched fucking nine hours
of these movies are ready.
So let me pump the brakes.
Oh, please.
Oh, shit.
And put it, you know,
a Ben Worcester car puns,
let's put it in park.
As someone that's only seen one and four.
Yo, bro,
you park with her for a while?
Oh, shit.
You park with my daughter?
Emergency break, baby.
Maxine.
Okay.
Pop.
the truck, man. Let's take a look under the hood. Oh, shit. You're looking out of the hood of my
daughter? She's 17. Eric, she's 17. You put your dipstick in that, bro? No, because she's 17
and even the camera didn't go up her ass. It got close. You check her oil, bro. Is she wet all the way
to the top? It redlined. And was redlining. Um, no, okay. Awful. The, I felt that
the Transformium Bots, having only seen one and four,
It felt like a kind of a T-1,000 cop-out a little bit
where it's like, all right, this is a fourth fucking movie.
How can we just make these stupid robots get to where they need to go
as fast as fucking possible?
A bunch of bees going around and then, like.
Objection, Ben, it's a Transformers movie.
Nothing happens as fast as possible.
True, though, what it may seem like ages ago, right?
I did, prior to this, just to like kind of refresh my memory,
I watched a trailer and then like a clip or two from the first one.
That first Optimus Prime transformation scene is like five fucking minutes.
He's like, yeah.
Oh, wait, that is like me to move the wheel here.
Oh, God, them all twisted up.
Yeah, yeah.
But that makes sense.
Charlie horse, Charlie horse, Charlie horse.
It was pretty cool looking.
Like, it's cool, but it's, you totally get why it's shortened, though,
because the first movie, it's like, let's fucking show off.
We can do all this cool animation stuff.
And by the fourth movie, they know it's like, can you just get to it?
Can you turn into a truck and drive away, please?
You would think the two hour and 45 minute running time would be inclusive of those long-ass transformation scenes.
But no.
So we wind up on lockdown spaceship for a very long period of time.
So he abducts both Optimus Prime and.
tessa the daughter
shit dude alien
abduction
and you know what I was like
if the rest of this movie takes place in space
a plus yeah we've been
waiting for that we were talking about that last time
they're aliens
go to fucking space
yep I don't want I've seen
what what transformers do
to buildings I really have gotten that so far
but have you seen what transformers can do to
Chinese buildings
you might be right
it's just crazy enough
work. No, go to space. Yes, let me, asteroids, something, you know. You can have, even a,
even a space building would be fine. Space building, yes. So, uh, we're in office park.
What I love, though, is that like this movie almost does it because lockdown like gets to space
and he's like, wait a minute, what was that? Oh, oh, great. Now we have to turn around.
And the movie literally turns around and goes back to Earth. Well, because, uh,
There's so much going on on lockdown's ship.
We find out everyone infiltrates the thing.
They rescue Optimus Prime, who we find out, by the way, as Ben alluded to, that dude's not just a robot.
Yep.
He's a knight.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
A knight of what?
I don't know.
I don't know.
There's just a bunch of fucking swords farting around in that spaceship, though.
It's never explained.
Did anyone else?
I mean, I paid as much of attention as it could.
The next movie is called The Last Night, and apparently he's hanging out with King Arthur.
I've been led to believe.
portion of the film.
Yeah.
I mean,
we'll find out
in a couple weeks.
All those stupid swords, too.
It's like,
they show the shot of them,
you think,
okay,
those are giant robot swords,
whatever,
and then all of a sudden,
Mark Wahlberg,
picks up one of the swords
and has it for the rest of the movie.
Oh,
you sure does?
I'm not like this sword gun,
bro.
I pulled that sword gun from the stone.
Adding, Transformers and Knights,
number one,
don't go together.
And if they did,
it would be like a knight
transforming into a tree.
Or a night transformer to a horse.
A dragon.
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
A lance.
Oh, there might be a dragon in the next movie.
Wait, Optimus Prime would just turn into a lance.
Sure.
That then a knight, a regular night, would pick up and use an adjusting match.
Man, to Steve's point, if there is a fucking dragon-shaped transformer in this next movie.
I'm putting money on it.
I will.
All right.
Dude, imagine dragons.
Oh, shit.
Rock and roll.
Rock and roll.
We're going to see this new movie soon.
I'm going to make a bet with another bet here.
Okay.
There is going to be a Nazi transformer.
A Nazi transformer.
Because there is a fucking swastika in that trailer.
So we're spanning time.
I guarantee you there's a Hitler box.
Oh, Gerhardt, the evil transforming Nazi?
I'm a Volkswagen, but now I'm a big old Skyny Nazi.
I'm under the Lutvah for supervision.
Oh, yeah, look at this.
I'm the Furious BMW.
oh no no it's a it's a Volkswagen bug and it's like
don't you know the Fiora designed me
designed all the Volkswagen bugs
oh you don't want the beetle you want the bug
hey can I make another bet
about seeing this last night movie in the theaters
sure please because by the way
they just clocked in a runtime I saw some people
on Twitter telling me about this you hear about this
I've heard conflicting things
go ahead well I heard three hours and two minutes
that's what I heard too, but then Michael
Bay tweeted that that was
fake news. Oh, is that right?
Google fucked it up. He said it's much
shorter than the other ones, the last couple
by far. Interesting. Which probably
means two and a half hours. Yes, I agree.
Well, all right, regardless of runtime, I
bet you I drink no less than
four beers at the Alamo draft house
when I see that movie. That's about right.
Of course. Have you a little Mexican hot chocolate?
That's where you want to. I'm going to pick up shit from
El Chapo.
Don't get
drunk Eric you'll get lost in the plot
so we're on this spaceship
there's like an alien sexily
licking this teenager's leg that takes a while
this thing you find out lockdown as it turns
out is kind of like Benetio del Toro
in uh...
Sicario no no
is he in the first
Guardians movie? The collector
because this guy's been driving around
picking up all these space gleep-glops
and putting them in this spaceship.
How are the ducks on there?
I think Howard the duck is on there.
Because you have things in that in that fucking spaceship that are not robot looking.
There's organic entities in there.
There are.
I have no idea what was happening.
So today I look at Wikipedia and I read that he's a bounty hunter.
No, what?
That thing that's trying to.
Lockdown.
Oh, lockdown.
Oh, lockdown's a bounty hunter, you say.
Yeah, that's why he's got shit in there like the dynobots.
Is he a Decepticon though, technically speaking?
Yeah, I think he used to be
and when he quit or something.
Oh, shit, Decepticon splinter cells.
Yeah. Now he's just a consultant.
I get it.
Lockdown, he has a prison shit.
Oh, shit.
And he's from a prison planet, maybe.
Imagine my...
At prison planet.
Imagine my shock.
Sam Witwiki, you can't even go to Sweden.
I'm going to bomb that fucking Shuddin's house right now.
If only.
So we break free
And it's the dumbest thing in the world
We jettison a third of lockdown's ship
Yep
And then like Optimus Prime's like
Yeah he'll be halfway to space
Before he notices
I'm like wouldn't he be like
Oh wait we're moving a lot faster
Or there's some like indicator that goes up
Beep and aunt and a third of the ship
Just detached
Yeah I know
Like Riker couldn't just detach the saucer section
Under Picard's nose
something would tell him
If your fucking hood is slightly a jar
There's a little light on your crappy car
That's his fucking gas cap isn't screwed on all the way
Bro you didn't
My daughter's hood's in a jar
Wait
Wait you've been unscrewed her gas cap
There's a very long prolonged scene
When we're like descending down cables
And then there are robot dogs
Yeah where bumblebee murders these dogs
I thought these were like
Werewolf Transformers
I don't know, man.
They struck me as hyena-like.
They can fight the vampire.
One is voiced by Whoopi Goldberg.
I know that.
The other one's Jeremy Irons.
Oh, that was, no, that was Scar.
Who did the other voice there?
Was that Fisher Stevens too?
Cheech Marin?
Oh, Cheech Marin, of course.
And like some other guy.
A non-Frank Welker type.
Are you serious?
Cheech Marin did a voice in this?
No, and Lion King.
Oh.
Whoopin was in the Chich Marin where the hyena is.
It was in the deleted Mexico scene.
Oh, my God.
I still have not seen the Lion King.
Is that right?
What?
Wow, that's crazy.
Yeah, dodge that point.
Hey, you know what, Eric, if you watched it tomorrow, bitter late than never.
Cheech Marin, Ghostbusters, too.
Yeah, that's the Titanic.
Yeah, talk about deleted scenes.
No, that's when I watched the Titanic.
No, I saw the Titanic in theaters.
So did I?
I think it was called Titanic.
So were you just watching Cruising instead of the Lion King?
Is that how your childhood was?
Pretty much.
Okay.
Keep the streak going, man.
I don't see a reason to dip into it now.
I think it's too late.
Yeah, you're kind of like a soul as fucking that way.
Yeah, it's fine.
It's too late for me, but it's not too late for you.
I'm just saying the shining new era is tiptoeing near.
Wow.
Yeah.
It's kind of like King Lear.
Well, they are doing their, well, you can watch the remake, bro.
That'll be great.
Oh, this live action shit.
Wait, what?
How is it live action?
There's no people in that story.
That's a great question.
So you're just filming landscapes with a bunch of CG?
animals? What the fuck is? Like, lines
and dogs talking to each other? Yeah.
It's what the fuck is. Is it Brett Ratner?
I don't know who is doing it. Or is it,
oh, what's his face?
David Berkowitz.
I guess David Berkowitz is directing
the live action lion king out of him.
Who else he's talking animals?
No, what's his name? The man's
got a vision. Oh, uh, that
he directs an axe and he's
sometimes fat. Oh, John
Favra. Yeah, John Favre.
We should be on pyramid together
Bullseye that
I thought it was him maybe
He did the jungle book
Yeah so that's why I thought
I didn't see the new jungle book
Neither did I but I've heard good things
I saw the original jungle
I saw a lot of
Tailspin
You didn't see jungle book
Spinning let's begin it
Bear and grin it when you're in it
You can win it in a minute
When you spin to spin it
That's awesome
That's a disturbing
No, yeah, the Disney animated movie?
I've seen that.
Okay, all right.
Wow, but let's go back for a second.
Acknowledge the amazing job Ben Wister just did singing the tailspin.
Yeah, it's pretty creepy.
Thank you.
It's directed by John Fabro.
Oh, there you go.
Foggy Nelson himself.
Who is playing every role?
Okay, I will tell you right now.
Donald Glover is Simba.
Seth Rogan is Pumba.
James Joel Jones is reprising his role.
is Mufasa. That's the move. That's the fucking move, Favreau. And Billy Eichner is Timon. Wow. I like
that. Yeah, sure. So fingers crossed for a live action tailspin. I'm wallowing. I know I'm hiring
to score it, Ben Worcester. If I saw a fucking CGI bear fly in a plane, I'd shit my pants.
Just putting it out there. Whatever, man. We go back to Earth. We have to go to it. So the whole thing,
which is kind of a hilarious
McGuffin to have.
And by the way,
ask anyone who's ever seen a movie
to tell you what a McGuffin is.
The MacGuffin is a thing
that people like to use.
I know.
I'm a real film buff.
Oh, I love watching movies.
You want to know what a MacGuffin is?
Bend over and I'll show you.
The character entailspin.
It's me, MacGuffin, a goat.
I fly a plane.
Only made it into two.
two episodes.
A bad favorite.
I thought you were supposed
to be the microfilm.
Is the seed?
Oh, yeah.
Get my seed out of him.
Hey, God damn you,
Lockhart.
Or whatever his name is.
Lockheed Martin.
And like Stanley Tucci is like,
give me the seed.
I need the seed.
I need that robot seed inside of me.
Kelsey Graham's like,
oh, you want the seed, huh?
You got to want the seed?
I spent my time posing as a UN ambassador.
Looking for a seed.
If Kelsey Grammar
fucking fell off a stage in this movie,
how great of that?
Oh, dear Lord.
Oh,
uh,
tossed salad and scrambled kneecap.
Is the seed not in the other?
No, this is brand new.
New shit.
And that's the device that like started the dinosaur thing
and like,
or ended the day.
I should say.
Yeah, so we're going to do that.
And basically, it has the, it's like a nuke, basically, that's going to go off in Hong Kong.
So then they fight for like four hours in the movie ends.
We'll do another.
It's a fair world pretending I was a U.N. interpreter.
It's always funny.
People are coming to his aid.
The second hit on Kelsey Graber.
You write Kelsey Grammer on YouTube and his Kelsey Grammer falls on stage.
How is it not the first hit?
What is the first hit?
I just says Kelsey Grammer, so I guess it's like a tribute video with some
It's him and Niles.
I would do that for you.
Even the line leading up to it is a UN translator.
Like the hottest thing.
Posing as a UN interpreter.
Oh, yeah.
By the way, send in your Fraser slash fiction.
Oh, please.
We'll read that.
We all hate movies at Gmail.
So we go to China because, and we realize,
and there's a big thing about, you know,
we're trying to save the world.
And like the Autobots don't really want to save the world
because the Autobots have been fucked over by the world.
Even the autobots are like, fuck these movies, man.
They're like, could we just leave?
Yeah, we just want to go home.
Can you just blow one of us up like T.J. Miller?
He's kind of coming out on the plus side here.
I just want to let this seed go off in Hong Kong and kill us all.
So there's a bunch of stuff happening.
Duble indemnify.
Mark Wahlberg fights Titus Welver.
Titus Welliver, who is a CIA black hat.
kills he's probably killed 150 people at this point in his career this month alone and like he's
having trouble putting down a fucking inventor a texan inventor this my ass this is what i hate about
these movies is like we cannot just have robots fighting we have to stop this transformers movie
so we can have this fucking born ultimatum fight scene yes in this hong kong apartment building like
yeah which is fine i kind of prefer when humans are talking to each other than when these
robots are but but like there are there are movies for human talking wait what i haven't seen those
either like you could go and watch the born ultimatum sure you know what i mean but instead like i'm
paying a ticket i'm renting this on amazon whatever because i want to watch fucking john goodman
smoke a fucking part of himself oh man that was his dick anyway so this so so so mark walberg
invents like the concept of a window
and tosses Bosch
out of the window. He throws a football
at him. Oh, right. Call back.
You're right. You're right. Dude, thank God
this like Chinese hacker
in this apartment just had an old
pigskin sitting around man.
Whatever. And like Bosch
Bosch would catch that in his fucking hand
to crush it. He would catch him in the head
on his knife. Where's his knife?
Yes, exactly. Why doesn't he stab him
within two seconds of this fight? He has a knife
out like in this fight scene
he pulls this huge fucking
Paul Hogan knife out and I was like
here it comes and then you see
and it's such shit it's like a
bad rack focus of Mark
Wahlberg like noticing the
football oh boy is that
dumb is that
is that fully deflated or what
that would be great actually
Brady was double indemnified
doubleumdum to be
it's like Adam Sandler
He just, he looks at this thing and he just goes,
Hey, Bosch, clear eyes, full hearts can't lose, bro, Texas forever!
I was crestfallen.
Oh, man.
I was really, I got my hopes up.
I thought he might.
Say clear eyes, full hearts can't lose.
Or Texas Forever or both?
I wanted him to die.
Oh, Mark Wahlberg?
I kept yelling throughout this movie, kill him.
Like, whenever he sort of was in.
danger. I was yelling at the movie
to kill him. What you want, though,
because the way it's executed is like
he throws this perfect spiral,
it hits Bosch in the chest, and then
Mark Wahlberg, like, rushes him and
pushes him out the window. Yes, that's right. What you
want is that perfect spiral
hits Bosch, like, in the throat.
Oh, windpipe destroyed. And he's like,
and as he's, like, grabbing his throat,
he backs up and falls out the window
himself. You want that football to do
all the work. That's true. So it's not really
the perfect spiral. And then, like, he looks up,
Touchdown, bro.
You see, guys, that would require a modicum of thought to be put into this, which, I mean, we are absent that.
Oh, how many pictures ago?
Like, I did like the show.
How many hours ago?
What?
What?
This franchise?
Of anyone putting thought into this franchise?
Eight and a half, eight and a half at least.
I did like the shot of Bosch falling to his death going, wah!
His little arms and legs going, ma'am!
What's awesome is that right after that.
because it's like Kelsey Gramer
watches this dude like eat pavement
and he just has this like
oh fucking fine
and he like cocks a gun or something
I'll do it myself
sorry Kelsey too many men on the field
bro
we need some action movies
singers
yes yes yes
yo grandma check
look out bro
also we can just talk about
Kelsey Grammer's death
which is indeed the best part of this movie
yeah I mean there's a lot of stuff
Before that, we've got to lead up for the dynobots.
Oh, the dynobots, of course.
Hold on, guys, I'd hate to interrupt you.
You got to take a shit?
No, no, no.
I feel it's worth it.
Go ahead.
Intentional grounding, bro.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
That's the one.
You're worth it.
No, you're good.
Thank you.
I apologize.
No, so we go.
He's like, oh, how am I going to beat all of these other robots,
which I've defeated like in every movie.
easily. I need dynobots.
What? Everman.
They just so happen to be on Lockjaw.
Locked up. Now you got me saying it.
Lockdowns. Like pig pen that he's got.
Yeah. And they're like, oh. And like the dynobots don't want to cooperate and can't speak.
And he like fights one for a while.
The dynobots are on the spaceship?
Yes. I thought the donobots were hanging out in that cave.
No, the donobots are hanging out with David Silver at the peach pit and they're taking extra time in class.
Oh, did it sound like I said Donobot?
drunk
The Donobots
Man that's a fucking
Buffy episode
Sorry
No I thought those
Because remember they go to that
Like valley
And there's that waterfall
I thought that the dynobots
Were like hanging
In that cave
There but I guess when he's talking about
Like now lockdown
Won't enslave you anymore
I guess it makes more sense
That they're on that spaceship
And he's like
And I guess they were both
Knights together at some point
It's like
From a knight to a knight
What night?
One of the dinosaurs?
I think the big one was a die.
Put a knife in my skull.
And he's like, basically has to convince this guy.
He's like, can I ride you now?
Is it, dude?
Yo, is it cool if I, if me and my buddies ride you and your buddies?
You fucking totally watch Optimus Prime break these dinosaurs, man.
He tames these fuckers.
He's slapping the ass of a dinosaur with a sword.
And I'm like, dude, isn't that your friend?
No, dude.
Now it's his fucking war.
slaves. It would be great
if the dinosaur pulls the flintstones
looks at the camera and it's all living.
And then the sword
starts talking and he's like, I know
isn't it? And everything
Oh, that would
be great.
Oh, whatever. So yeah, he
enlists the dynobots and you know
talk about convenient. There's
exactly one dynobot
for every living Autobot
that's left on this team. Who would it guess?
What are the odds? They all stay
But, like, why do they need vehicles?
They are vehicles.
It's like a horse driving a car.
It didn't make any sense.
One of the dinosaurs was smoking a cigar.
Come on.
It's so fucking stupid.
Well, I guess actually, there's not a dynobot for every transformer, though,
because John Goodman's character is, like, back in downtown Hong Kong.
Oh, yeah, he's holding them off, defending everybody.
And he runs out of ammo.
Yeah, that's how does he run out of ammo?
Isn't he his own ammunition?
Why aren't there lasers?
Just shoot yourself.
Oh, yeah.
I know.
I mean, you know, as ammo.
Oh, yeah.
Take pieces.
Take that beard off.
It's metal.
Shoot that.
Maybe the beard was ammo.
Oh.
Where does he get the ammo?
Does he have to go to a store to buy it?
Is he making them?
Like, where will pull it?
The fact that these things have guns with ammo in the first place is so dumb.
It makes no sense.
Also, though, what we learn from at least the first and second movie, that idea of,
idea of like when the AllSpark was hitting like blenders and
toasters and shit and they were turning into Little Evil
Grambling looking Decepticons and they all just instantly had guns with
bullets. Don't get me started on the AllSpark because it doesn't make any
fucking sense in this world where aliens are creating Transformers to begin
with. Yeah. So the AllSpark makes no sense. And in this movie he's like
great lines about like Optimus Prime talking about like oh the spark is sort of
what we would refer to as a soul. No no no no. You have no. That's a great
part in that movie though. No, no, no. It's back at the barn before that thing's
blown to Smithlerines. And he's like, oh, bro, this, this fucking
bullet almost, it almost nicked your heart, bro. And he's like, we call that
a spark. It's what makes us us. It what makes us live. And then
fucking Mark Wahlberg goes, oh yeah? Oh, we call that a soul, bro. And then I threw up all
over my dog. Yo, are you Catholic? I'm Catholic.
The first Texan Catholic.
Yeah, really?
Optimus has a line when he's fighting Galactobot.
What's his name?
Galvatron.
Where he's like, there will be no divorce.
He has like a, you have no soul line when they're like duking it out.
Oh, yeah.
Because he's like made.
He's a lab because you're a test tube baby.
Oh, shit.
This movie's really saying so.
Tony Stark built that Galvatron in a cave from scraps.
Oh, man.
It's more of these impenetrable politics of Transformers force.
age of extinction.
And then, so we finally wind up and it's, um, there's a whole, a lot of to-do where like
Mark Wahlberg's like, yo, I'm going to get in the middle of this enormous robot fight, bro.
I don't know why.
I got this stupid halo gun.
I'm going to use it.
Look at this alien gun, bro.
It's fucking sick.
So it's, it's an optimist versus lockdown finally.
Lockdown, by the way, whose whole face can turn into a gun.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
your face not a gun right his whole head turns into a gun which reminded me of a little known
star wars bounty on her from the e.U called der harhan i think oh boy and his here we go this is a dude
who had his like head destroyed and got his brain like installed into his chest and then he just
put a big fucking gun on a gun where his neck is that's pretty cool yeah and the man making the most of it
i'm reading this one like 14 or 15 or something like that i'm like man i wish my head was a gun
that's all I kept on thinking about when I saw this
what's kind of awesome is when
lockdown does this and like he turns
like his face turns into a big long gun he looks like them
little like spy versus spy cartoons
oh yeah that's what I was thinking of Beetlejuice
Alec Baldwin and Bealjews oh yeah oh totally
man speaking of Beetlejuice I wish I was watching
beetle juice not this movie so it's a big fucking dumb fight
Kelsey Grammer comes out
He's like, oh, where's my seed?
And he gets shot in the heart.
Oh, my God.
Oh, it's awesome.
Okay, my favorite part of the movie was when Optimus Prime blows away Kelsey Grammar.
Dude, he blows a hole right in this human being.
That was pretty awesome.
I loved it.
I rewound it.
I don't rewind anything.
Dude, I looked it up on YouTube today at work.
I watched like three times in a row.
It's great because he's just like, you're not going to.
going to tell me what the fucking do, Mark Wahlberg.
I'm going to blow your damn head off.
I got it right here. Here it comes.
So this is live audio from, it's Kelsey Grammors.
We got this right from the film.
It's Kelsey Grammer's death scene and Transformers colon age of extinction.
Let's have a listen.
I was a UN interpreter.
Whoa.
that that optimist is merciless dude it's it's so brutal like and that's like the second most shocking
part of the movie because like the first shocking part is dj miller's death like that's fucking
horrible but optimist prime the hero like at a certain point he's like i'm gonna fucking kill humans
now and like he's tired of it this is the fourth fucking time and he's tired of it well it's also
the humans are now working with the decepticons that's right
All that shit, man.
So he's dead.
And then amazingly, too,
like Optimus Prime gets that sword out, dude.
And, like, because he's, again,
he's locked down's about to kill Mark Wahlberg, I think, is the idea.
And he fucking puts this sword through this robot's back.
It goes right through his chest.
And then he goes in and up and cuts this dude's fucking head in half
from, like, the chest up.
it's amazing.
It's the coolest thing
you'll ever see in this movie.
Yeah, it's brutal.
I think it's the most violent Transformers movie.
Probably.
I mean, Ben, you've only seen the one, the two.
I don't remember a face getting cut in half
in the first one.
I definitely do not.
I think it was the audiences.
And he kills him, and that's fun.
And then credits, right?
Well, no, he's like,
I'm going to go to space now, you guys.
No, there's two more hours.
I know.
I know there is.
I'm not talking about it, though.
No, he goes to space, but it's going to take him forever
because he's just got these little jet boots.
It's so dumb.
Fuck this.
That's my review.
Also, like, the daughter and the Irish guy, like, kiss for no reason.
Because, like, I guess we got to wrap up that romance,
even though neither of them are in this next movie,
even though Mark Wahlberg is.
I don't know in what capacity the idiot is.
Oh, they went away and got married and something boring.
It just happened.
Yeah, they got a bunch of kids now.
They can't play with no transformer.
games anymore, bro. But I'm
here, Optimus. Oh, God.
Grandpa, Walberg. Also,
what's awesome is... He's a grandpa, but he still
goes out, right? Oh, yeah.
Go in those K. Diego bombs.
Dude, there's a
fucking dumb-ass Optimus Prime Line
at the end of this movie, though. So, like, Mark
Wahlberg's character, Kade Yeager.
I don't know if you guys know this. His name is Kade
Yeager. He's basically crying
because his robot friend is saying he's
going to go to space, and he's like, yo, bro,
we have a see again or what? And
he's like he just goes this this robot goes you know every time you look up at the stars just
pretend one of them is me and you're just like shut up oh bro i don't know if you know this but
i'm like 48 years old so like that's like et baby shit but think of a star as my soul k dager
you've restored my faith in humanity and then so he's also like because like every movie ben
this one is the exception
because it doesn't start
with an Optimus Prime monologue
but they all end with them
and this one he's,
it's all him like sending
like G-chat invitations
to other transformers basically.
Like the first three movies are basically like
if any Autobots can hear me
we're on earth and everything's cool
come hang out
but this one he's like
this message this next message
goes out to our creator
I'm coming for you mother fuck
and that's like the end of the movie
I will kill God.
Yeah.
It's like this big mystery about like the creator of the Transformers.
G.
D.0.0.D.
Is that Unicron?
Is that who, is that?
You know what?
I'm trying to think back to the animated movie.
That's, wasn't there the big planet that Orson Welles voiced in the cartoon?
I never saw it, but I know that Unicron's a big deal.
And I don't know if he's in this next one.
He might, he may well might be.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Wow.
I don't know.
All I know is this movie was pushing three hours, and would anybody recommend it?
No.
I will say points to this movie.
One, I knew who all the Autobots were.
It was a discernible crew.
Like, I knew what Crosshairs was going to do.
I knew what John Goodman was up to, et cetera, et cetera.
Yeah.
So that's something.
John Goodman definitely says that one of these aliens looks like shizzle.
Yeah.
So that's fun.
Was that in the middle of him firing off his big gaddling gun that sounded like farts?
Uh, the end
Ah, oh God.
Time to throw me that grenade.
Wait, this was, this was just noises John Goodman was making you in the sound booth.
And they're like, we'll keep that in.
We'll make that, make it like a gun sound calmer than you.
Yeah, I mean, no, Ben, would you?
No, I mean, good God.
Why did you guys do this to me?
You know what, man, you, you're only,
You've only wasted two and a half hour, two hours of 45 minutes.
I was, I mean, I have expected to come in here and not see anyone.
Like you guys just wouldn't be here.
You did, fuck it.
We canceled the show.
Oh, sorry, we didn't text you.
We canceled the show.
Can't take it anymore.
All the product placement that was in this movie, we didn't cover it, but there was one moment.
Somewhere when they're in, shit's going down in China, and something gets blown up,
and there's this, all of these
bud light bottles.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Oh, the bud light.
And there's this one scene
where it's just like,
it's like a flaming bud light bottle.
And I feel like to me,
I kind of underlines that's,
that encapsulates.
This movie is a flaming bottle of bud light.
Like, so that's a no.
That's a no.
That's a no.
Yeah, I hated this.
I think it's,
I think it's better than two.
I think it's better than two.
Yeah.
So obviously I'm not recommended.
If this movie, honestly, if this movie was two hours,
I think you have something here because it's the most violent.
It has like betterish human characters minus the Marky Mark.
Yeah, Tucci was fine.
The Tuch is totally fine.
Honestly, like Kelsey Grammer is totally good in this movie.
And T.J. Miller, he was murdered because the director had beef with him.
Like, he's fucking funny in this movie.
Some of those Chinese action sequences are actually really good.
Like, they are.
And the motorcycle's really cool.
But all that stuff, I was like, man, a Hong Kong motorcycle chase, huh?
I'd rather be watching any Hong Kong action movie right now because most of them have cool motorcycle chases in them.
I would not recommend this.
I also think you cannot use this movie as a hangover movie.
No.
Because I feel that this would exacerbate the hangover.
Well, the noises.
My God, the noises.
All the machine gun farting alone, man.
The movie makes you feel like Optimus Prime when he first wakes up in the movie.
I'll kill you.
I was ready to kill someone.
That's something you want on a poster, man.
Transformers Age of Extinction, I was ready to kill someone.
That's Transformers, Age of Extinction, directed by Michael Bay.

And the cool thing is a little inside baseball.
We're recording this on like June 1st, actually, where we are right now.
So in order to keep the thing going, we're going to be doing, we're taking a blissful four-week break from watching Transformers.
We got to, like, clear our heads.
Like, we got to get ourselves together.
us human beings will have a full month
between watching these movies
and I'm fucking thrilled about it
Oh absolutely
But next week with the wheeze is on the show
The wheeze fucking finally
Welcome to the show Polly Shore

I'm kind of sad that his debut was not son-in-law
But that's okay we can fix that at a later date
Next week and Cino Man
Fucking Sean Aston builds his own pool
It's the saddest thing you'll ever see in cinema comedy
Also we're we're wheeze in the juice
In a fucking convenience store
We're microwaving burritos.
Brendan Fraser doesn't know what TV is again.
It's all sorts of awesome, all sorts of awesome shit in Encino, man.
I'm excited to rewatch this.
I have not seen this probably in like five or six years.
And I think it's one half as long as this movie is.
So I'm excited about that too.
Oh, I'll watch it twice.
It's a superior fit ill.
Oh, bravo.
Big time, buddy.
So until next week, when we're wheeze in the juice, I'm Andrew Jupin.
