Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a headgum podcast. Welcome to W.H.M. On screen, everybody. I'm Andrew Jupin, alongside Chelsea Jubin, which some of you may know, this little trivia fact, this little sweet nug. We're a husband and wife. Sweet nug is disgusting. Sweet nug is awful. Why is it disgusting? I find it disgusting. All right. All right. Well, it's still a sweet nug. Yeah. All right. How about this? It's a juicy tidbit. I guess that's better.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Yeah, I'm the person who lives where you record, so I'm available for these kind of things. Which I'm so excited. I cannot believe we're finally getting to talk about the fact that the new trailer for the David Gordon Green Halloween drop today. Yep, 100% I've already watched it. I have thoughts. I know all of the words that you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Halloween is Michael Myers, right? That's correct. But no, we are actually talking about Oceans 8. from the Year of Our Lord this year 2018 directed by Gary Ross. And I got to tell you, Chris Cabin a couple weeks ago, you know Chris Cabin. I've met him. He was a groomsman in my wedding. Yeah, I've met him.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I met him before I met you. That's actually a true fact. That's a story for another day. Another time. But Chris Cabin just threw out there. I was like, oh, Chris Cabin, this movie is directed by Gary Ross. What has he done? Chris Cabin flippantly tossed back,
Starting point is 00:01:57 sea biscuit which was technically true but Gary Ross a little bit of a filmography here let me go through some of these get your take on them
Starting point is 00:02:08 so director, writer and producer of 1998's Pleasantville I like that movie right I don't know if it holds up I liked it
Starting point is 00:02:19 circa closer to 1998 yeah I liked it in the late 90s I don't know I can't say that I've seen it since I know Paul Walker's in it oh man we all know about that i don't know if you do know because i know you said we didn't have to worry about him we just told everybody uh on a recent recording to uh lay off that joke because we get it
Starting point is 00:02:42 yeah um no so then get this um pleasantville pleasantville sea biscuit sea biscuit yes but we back up a little bit to the tobia mcguire lots of they they must have been buddy sorry continue man being friends with toby mcguer Can you imagine being friends? So is he in the Pussy Pussy? Oh, is Gary Ross? Oh, maybe Gary Ross is the godfather of the Pussy Pussy. He's significantly older than all those people,
Starting point is 00:03:06 specifically because in 1998, he was a co-producer and writer did not direct Big. The Tom Hanks film. Not 1998. Did you say 1990s? I meant 88. I don't know what I said it. Whatever I said, but 1988, big. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Unfortunately, in 1990s. producer on the horrendous Michael Richards and I believe Jeff Daniels movie Trial and Error They're like wacky lawyers or something Or like Michael Richards is a wacky lawyer And Jeff Daniels is just taking it And then so Tale of Despero
Starting point is 00:03:45 The Little Mouse movie Oh yeah okay okay okay okay I didn't see it Michael J Fox is the voice No that's Stuart Little of course Oh okay Despero was They're both mice I believe Despero
Starting point is 00:03:57 We're not voiced by But Emma Watson was maybe in the movie I think it's a full-on CGI movie I don't know He's like swashbuckling or some shit I don't know He wrote And maybe that's just it
Starting point is 00:04:13 Yeah he wrote The 1994 Lassie reboot I didn't know that happened Oh what you missed the Lassie reboot I was busy I was 10. Yeah, nobody's really in it either. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:30 There's a couple of the credits here, I think. Wrote Mr. Baseball. I don't know that. That's the, it's Tom Selleck and he's like a hot-shaped baseball player. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he gets, something happens and he has to go play baseball in Japan. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, a lot of cultural misunderstandings.
Starting point is 00:04:51 And then in 2016, he had that movie, he wrote and directed, I believe, the Matthew McConaughey slavery-centric action movie, Free State of Jones. Oh, okay. Oh, and did I mention, though, 2012 he wrote and directed Hunger Games. Oh, wow, that was the good one. Yeah, I buried the lead on them.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. That one was quite good. That was the Good Hunger Games movie. That was the Good Hunger Games movie. Yeah, okay. So, you know, a couple of credits from this guy, other than just Sea Biscuit, Chris Cabin. I don't know why he led with Sea Biscuit.
Starting point is 00:05:26 I feel like, if anything, lead with... Why did you not lead with Hunger Games either? Why is no one leading with Hunger Games? Why was Save of the Best for Last? I don't know what Chris Cabin's excuse is. I think of anything, he's mostly scarred from a multiplex story about when Seabiscuit was in wide release. That'll stay tuned, I guess.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Maybe. Nah, dude shit his pants in the theater. We just put a garbage back over it. Okay. So, Oceans 8. The reason why we were here. expanding the cinematic universe of the oceans movies I guess
Starting point is 00:05:57 the oceans trilogy now quadrilogy possibly quintology yeah I mean I guess we'll see I guess we'll see I also don't know if that's a word is part of the question mark oh yeah I don't know
Starting point is 00:06:12 yeah I don't know the real $10 word if it is no also the OCU the ocean cinematic universe Okay. Which I think we could just call it. The O.C. It's now a universe.
Starting point is 00:06:28 It is. Is there OCU MC, Don Cheadle? That's overlap. Oh, that is some overlap. Was Elliot Gould in any of those movies? I don't think so. Matt Damon is in Ragnarok for like a second. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Good call. And was apparently supposed to have been in Oceans 8 to bring it back to this movie. Oh, right. You said there was some scenes deleted. Apparently. Yeah. He is not. in this movie but IMDB has all sorts of trivia about him as if he's in it and it's like oh he
Starting point is 00:06:58 previously was in blah blah blah with blah blah and it's like and that's it because he wasn't in oceans eight I guess he got cut oh man so save that for the collector's edition 4k UHD or maybe they'll kick off nine with him I don't know what they cut I don't know what it could have been well so let me ask you this and you've heard me do this on the show quite a bit and I'll leave you the honor Quote, unquote, the honor. In a nutshell, what is this movie about? This movie is Danny Ocean, so George Clooney's sister, Debbie Ocean. I think the castles pulled up.
Starting point is 00:07:36 She was indeed Debbie Ocean. Mine had gone dark on my phone. She's the right kind of Debbie, which is the D-E-D-B-I-E. I mean, sure, but I wondered. And I didn't do the research on this, but Debbie feels like an older name. I feel like a Sandra Bullock age woman would not be named Debbie. Like that's like someone our age being named like Patricia. Cut to a bunch of Patricia's tweeting.
Starting point is 00:08:05 I know. Sorry, Patricia's born in 1984. I know you're out there, but it's not the same. You've heard it your whole life, I'm sure. It's fine. It's fine. Anyway, but I was like, is Debbie anachronistic for Sandra Bullock? Are they just making it match Danny?
Starting point is 00:08:19 Well, what else could they, like, Denise, Diane Ocean? Yeah, that's better. I'd have been a nice one. Anyway, that's a thing I thought of. Anyway, so Debbie Ocean, I was supposed to be describing the plot, and I've already failed and I'm already bad at this. So Debbie Ocean is paroled and decides that she is also going to start her own heist group similar to what her brother has done. In her case, what she is doing is robbing the MET gala, not the MET itself, but the MET gala. Now, for those out there, because I know there's a ton in listener land who, like me, only sort of like on the sidelines pay attention to that.
Starting point is 00:09:05 I know it's like a big hot ticket invite in NYC, as the tourists say. So what's the MET gala's deal? The Met Gala is the event that they do to open their costume institutes, big spring summer exhibition. And that was one thing that was really interesting about this is the parallels to how similar they are. I'm going to get it wrong. So in the movie, it was like the British Royal or Royal Jules was what it was. But the iconography on the poster for the exhibit was very, like, religious-looking. And the current costume exhibit is religion, costume work.
Starting point is 00:09:53 I don't know the terminology. And the chair, which is the Anne Hathaway, this is probably not interesting to anyone, but whatever. The chair of the actual Met Gala this year, which Anne Hathaway plays, was Rihanna. Oh, right, because she was wearing like the Pope hat and whatnot. Yeah, so it feels very weirdly like a weird promotional item for the costume institute and the Met. It's an interesting promotional crossover. Yeah. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:10:26 So I can see a lot of, first of all, I think we should say, we both like this movie. We did both like it. This is what I would call a fun time at the movies. Yes. I had no real expectations for it because I didn't really know what to expect. Sure. I don't think I'd seen a full-length trailer. I had very high expectations of this.
Starting point is 00:10:46 I loved, I'm saying I loved the original trilogy. I remember feeling lukewarm about 12, but did end up really liking 13, but I've never gone back and revisited either sequel. We saw 13 with theaters together. Yeah, yeah. But 12 was before we were dating, right? Yeah, because 12 was like 2004. Right, so... I wasn't even a blip on your radar.
Starting point is 00:11:13 I hadn't met you, but I had met Chris Cabin. Yeah, so I was so excited. I love Sandra, I loved the entire cast. I love the idea of an all-female remake of it. I thought it was going to be great. So my expectations were, admittedly, perhaps the tiniest bit high, And there were moments where I was like, this isn't quite as amazing as I wanted it to be. But if I had gone in with normal person expectations, I probably would have felt a little better.
Starting point is 00:11:45 But I still did really, really like it. So let me ask you this a little bit of like a heavy issue thing here. Okay. But so what you just mentioned, though, the all-female remake. So one thing I've been seeing around the internet is like, oh, you're just taking ideas with dudes and putting women in this gender swap horse shit. So what is your, like, take on that? I mean, my first take is fuck off, who cares? Like, my second take is, and I was thinking about this a lot during the movie,
Starting point is 00:12:16 this is something that makes so much sense to have women do it because, and they mention this, that women are so methodical and do think steps through in a way that you really need to do for these kind of heist, and they have the added advantage. And again, this is something they point out in the movie, or I'm not claiming it as my own idea, that women can be so invisible in a lot of these situations. You know, how many times are they just walking by people
Starting point is 00:12:45 and they're not even paying them any notice, especially the women of color in the movie, and that that plays to the advantage of it. So if anything, during the movie, I was almost thinking it's weird that they did this three times with very handsome white men and got away with it. when it should be women. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Well, and then also, like, you know, in Oceans 12, Bernie Mac just gets thrown in jail for the whole movie. Again, I haven't revisited that one. I listened to the episode, the three of you in Scarlett, did a great job, but I was like, wow, I don't remember this movie very much at all. So this is what you'd call a deep cast, though,
Starting point is 00:13:27 because we got Sandy. Oh, my God, yeah. Which, by the way, gang, we're tooling around an idea. It's called, Hey, Sandy. It's a podcast where Chelsea and I talk about Sandra Bullock movies. Oh, my God, my dream come true. One of your all-time favorite movies is while you were sleeping. The perfect romantic comedy that doesn't get enough credit.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I would say also, not for nothing, because I've seen that movie a couple times, perfect hangover movie. Sure. It's a perfect Christmas time hangover movie. Oh, yeah, you're hungover at Christmas. You can't be hungover off of, like, Sangria in July and watched while you were sleeping. but like a boozy eggnog hangover in December. Oh, beautiful. That's a great idea.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Oh, man, hangovers for the holidays. Pitch that to Lifetime. So you got Sandy Bullock. You got Kate Blanchett, who's kind of like, she's playing a character named Lou. She's sort of like Debbie's partner, sort of like the Brad Pitt surrogate here, kind of. And I've seen other people talk about this on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:14:29 I do like that they possibly hate. that there's been some romance between them. Is that right? Did I miss that? You didn't think so? I thought so. And I'd seen other people say that they got the feeling from that. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Sandra Bullock and Kate Blanchett, correct. Yes, that, yes. Not Cape Blanchett and Brad Pitt. That is Benjamin. Was somebody mentioned Rusty? No, no, Benjamin Button, though. You can get a lot of hot Cape Blanchett and Brad Pitt and then a lot of really boring Brad Pitt.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Yeah, man. I love David Fincher. That movie's a snooze and a half. There's a great 10 minutes in the middle of it, though. that's it where they're both the same age so yeah it's great and then the rest of that movie i'm sleeping hard yep um you have uh television's mindy kaling yes uh playing amita she's like the um the diamond expert she like works at a jewelry store with their family in like forest hills or something like that yeah i didn't queens presumably yeah didn't grab the
Starting point is 00:15:26 neighborhood um it is all really good filmed in new york it is that That's something. I thought of that, like, immediately at the start of the movie. Because the movie starts with, like, the scene you see in the trailer where it's her parole hearing. With Griffin Dunn. Totally unseen, unless I was looking down at the popcorn or something, and I missed him. It's just his voice, like, show me that man. We saw it in the credits, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:52 That's horseshit. Yeah. Another person who got cut. Men, who cares? Matt Damon, Griffin, Dunn, you're out of there. But so, yeah, so Mindy can't. Oh, yeah. So right after that, it's like establishing shot of Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:16:06 And I was like, yeah. A fucking New York heist movie? You bet your ass, man. It's very New York, it's very New York-centric. We'll try to not make this episode to New Yorkie. I know people hate that. Yeah, I don't want to rattle Reddit when it comes to talking about New York City having the fuck forbid. So Mindy Kaling, yeah, she's like the diamond expert or jewelry expert.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Yeah. I think she's good in this movie. I would say she's, I think, the least used. in the movie, though. It's tough. It's such a big cast. There are times whenever they would cut back to somewhere where I'd be like, I miss that person.
Starting point is 00:16:40 So I don't know if I know who I feel like is the least used. I know that in our screening her, I guess, spoilers, if you haven't seen it? Oh, yeah, sorry, yeah, yeah, total spoilers. We're just going to talk the fuck out of this movie. So her scene in the bathroom
Starting point is 00:16:55 when she's unveiling her lab got riotous applause in our screening. Yeah, the largest. Which I guess is more for the set than for her, but it's still... I love Mindy Kaling, so it made me happy that she was getting so much applause. Yeah, well, because I don't think it was just the set. It was like, oh, here's this character going to work.
Starting point is 00:17:14 It's very funny. She pulls down like a baby changing station and whatever else, and there's like all these jewelry things. I think, though, the reason she does have the least amount of screen time is she's involved in the, like, secret twist at the end of the movie. Sure. Okay. Right, because the end of the movie, again, spoilers, everybody. When it's revealed, like, not only did they steal this one necklace, but they actually lifted all of the jewelry from the exhibit and duped it.
Starting point is 00:17:42 So, like, Mindy Kaling is kind of just in that bathroom or whatever the fuck. I guess for a really long time. Like, duping all this jewelry. Yeah. But she was great. Oh, fucking, again, TV's Sarah Paulson, put this woman in more movies. So amazing in everything ever. She's playing Tammy.
Starting point is 00:18:01 She was great in the post. She's done good movie work. Who's she in the post? She's Tom Hanks' wife. That's right. And she gets some good scenes in that. She does. I mean, as much as anyone gets in the post,
Starting point is 00:18:12 who isn't Meryl Streep? Or Tom Hanks. Or Tom Hanks. Or Bob Odenkirk. Talk about another thing where the cast is too big that you kind of forget who all is in it, a million times so more so with the post than Ocean's 8.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I think it just lends itself to the fact that I think the post is kind of ultimately a forgettable movie that when you said Sarah Paulson was Tom Hanks's wife I was like oh yeah I do sort of remember that she's got much more screen time here playing Tammy who's another of these like out of the game you know has set on she's kind of like she's sort of like an ocean's like the beginning of oceans 12 kind of character if I get that they didn't want to make it too much connected to the original the OCU as you're as you're dubbing it right um but the fact that she lives in the suburbs it was interesting that there was no mention of where's Julia Roberts um oh right I mean again
Starting point is 00:19:12 fine you don't need it but it was still just like are they buddies what what's going on right I love Julia Roberts too though so I I would have been okay with her being back in right in a cameo I mean And also, like, if you haven't seen the trailer or whatever, like, this movie posits that Danny Ocean has passed away. Right. So, yeah, there's no, like. Maybe not. So he never ends up showing up, but he could in nine or ten. Sure.
Starting point is 00:19:40 But, yeah, so she's, like, living in the suburbs, has kind of left that life behind. Right. Except not really, because her garage is filled with stolen items. So what is that? She's, like, knocking off, like, supply trucks and putting it. It's kind of a weird line, and I want to see, here's the thing. I need to see this husband, because. I feel like the husband has to be played by Zach Gallifanakis because the whole gag is like her her garage is covered with hot merchandise and Sandy's like, how do you explain this to your husband?
Starting point is 00:20:08 She goes eBay. You need a Zach Gallifanacus-esque person to be like, oh yeah, my wife just gets all the deals on that eBay. She's just so great at the computer. Or he's just some clueless Greenwich husband who is cheating on Sarah Paulson the whole time until he doesn't notice. Oh, yeah. Oh, you know who'd play a good, that kind of scumbag character? And I'm sure he's a totally nice guy,
Starting point is 00:20:29 but he'd pull it off. The dude, he's on SVU. He's married to Mariska Hargatay. Oh, okay, from younger. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, whatever that dude's name is. We always just call him Mr. Hargatay. I don't know his real name.
Starting point is 00:20:41 You're goddamn right. He's Mr. Hargat. Shit. Yeah. So we're just going through this cast, which I feel like... Still, we're only a tiny bit of the way through. It's a great cast.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Yeah, I mean, and these kind of movies, like it's they live and die by the cast basically the story the story is the story they they heist the met gala they're successful it's totally fine right um totally surprising and i can't tell you the last time i was entertained by her in a movie because honestly i don't like that fucking harry potter character helen and bottom carter in this movie totally awesome yeah most of what i i feel like i associate her with are tim burton movies which i don't enjoy i'm sure she's been i'm sure she's been in other things. Yeah, I don't like I don't dislike her
Starting point is 00:21:27 as Bellatrix, but obviously that's such a villain that I just hate it, but yeah, I That's Belatrix La Strong Correct. From the Harry Potter Except I don't know if the pronunciation was, but otherwise. Isn't she, it isn't like LaStrange or something?
Starting point is 00:21:45 But she's good in this movie. She's so good in this. I think doing a relatively okay Irish accent. Yeah, I'm not going to weigh in on that. I've heard too much shit on the internet over the years. I'll just say that it wasn't like a... It's not lucky charms. No, it's not. It's like, it's a very subtle, it's totally fine. To a non-Irish person and reminded me of an Irish person I used to work with, so... Oh, well, there you go. There you go. And presumably that woman wasn't fake in the fuck.
Starting point is 00:22:10 No, if she was, then that's very weird. No, she's great at this, and she's played... She's kind of an interesting character in this whole scheme, because she's not like a career criminal. no yeah and they do talk her into it pretty quickly but it made sense but it's kind of it was an interesting twist they were like okay we need to find somebody that's going to dress the person that's going to wear this necklace for the gala we have to find a down and out like shit out of like fashion designer right to do this and they find that she's got like all this money problems she's going to go to jail for like tax evasion or whatever she's lost a passport to Ireland I guess I don't know they say we'll get your passport back. Oh, right, yeah. Her passport was confiscated. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:56 So that was an interesting, like, oh, here isn't someone who they found it, like, Yonkers Raceway and Casino or something. It's like someone who they, like, convinced to come on board. Right. And it seemed to me a good balance because so many of the other designer, fashion designers who you see throughout the movie are real fashion designers. It seemed like a good balance of bringing in the fictional character without it seeming like Will Ferrell and Zoolander.
Starting point is 00:23:22 You know. Oh, man, if Mugatu showed one. If Mugatu had been doing the Met Gala, exactly. That would have been a slightly different movie. How was that not the plot of Zoolander 2? The millions of plots that should have been the plot to Zoolander 2 that weren't the plot of Zoolander 2. I wish there was a commentary of the two of us watching that movie because we were what people would call flabbergasted or dumbfounded. That's another, like, early 2000s movie that I really enjoy and I was so.
Starting point is 00:23:52 excited and I was so disappointed. That movie. Yeah. Oh my God. How are they not working with Mugatu? How are they not working with Mugatu? Why is he still the villain? Kristen Wig should be the villain. I know that's not what we're talking about, but I'm, I No, you're totally right. I'm so upset. So the person that Helena is hired to dress is, of course, Daphne Kluger is the character's name, played by Anne Hathaway.
Starting point is 00:24:21 And who is fantastic. Honestly, probably one of the better performances in the movie, I think. And considering how many fellow Oscar winners she has in the movie, like that's really saying something. But I think she walks away the best, personally. She totally does. And an acting, not choice, but like a gift that she has, and we've mentioned on the show before,
Starting point is 00:24:47 that she has to put to use in this movie, is being able to turn on a dime. Yes. Because the whole like Ocean's Eight thing, you're sitting there and it's like, oh, well, there's only seven of them. Right. They wind up making Anne Hathaway, who's like,
Starting point is 00:25:02 yeah, she's the eighth. She's like, for the majority of the movie, she's the mark. The third act, yeah. You come to find out she's in on it. Right. And it's great because you see her doing that, like, she's playing the posh socialite,
Starting point is 00:25:16 like, ha, ha, ha, ha. And very much feeding into the sort of, public perception of Anne Hathaway as being the really sort of stuck up, too serious, too focused on herself, actress, doing a really good job of leaning into that and playing with it. Yeah, I've never understood why that woman has had to eat so many shit sandwiches. Yeah, I was not the biggest fan of the Anne Hathaway persona for a little bit, and I do feel badly about that now, because I kept being like, well, but I love all our movies, but I love all movies. And it was like, well, that's what matters. Like, it's the people who are being the
Starting point is 00:25:54 cool girl actresses in the interviews that, I mean, I won't throw out names, because that's not for them. But that sort of thing of like the, oh, gee, I don't even care about this. I just wish I was back at home eating pizza. That's what's fake. It's not. Ann Hathaway being like, I'm a serious actress and I care about this. That's real. I don't know. Anyway, sorry, that was a soapbox moment, but. Totally fun. This entire show has been soap box moments for almost 10 years so it's fine okay um no i think she's totally great in this movie i don't get what her do they explain like what her job is i mean no i guess not but i i guess actress i don't know i think because she's leaning so much into the perception of of anne hathaway
Starting point is 00:26:39 that it's sort of similar oscar winner yeah it's kind of great because for a hot sec in this movie her, her, like, foil in her world is a almost unrecognizable Dakota fanning. I did not recognize her. I had to ask you who it was. She's all grown up. I haven't been watching that, the alienist that she's supposed to be really good on. I did not see that. I saw her in the Ewan McGregor Philip Roth adaptation.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Oh, okay. Yeah. I probably have not seen her since she was a child. She was probably younger than L. Fanning is now, the last performance I saw Dakota Vanning in. Yeah, and it's that movie, the Philip Roth adaptation, the name of which escapes me, I can't remember what it is. It wasn't plot against America, I think it's not. No, it's not plot against America. I can't remember which one it was. It was fine, you know, totally forgettable. But she's kind of like taking risks in that movie. Okay. And I was, the whole time I was like, you're no L fanning. Sorry to tell you. I think the, the little, the little. Little Sister's better.
Starting point is 00:27:46 But she's just kind of there for like two seconds. And I sort of thought, all right, well, you're hiring Dakota Finn to do something. But it's really like one scene. Yeah. They use her as... One scene and then a taxi ad. Oh, right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:59 The one in one point one scenes. 1.08. Yeah. Yeah, what does it count as scene-wise if you're just a scene in an advertisement? There's another famous picture coming up later in the movie. We can mention in a sec. but I thought it was going to be like she would play more into the movie a little bit
Starting point is 00:28:18 but she's just kind of like one and done they use her as leverage like oh Helen Abottom Carter is maybe going to be hired by this woman to dress her for the gala and that makes like Anne Hathaway jealous and hires her and whatever so I'll tell you this
Starting point is 00:28:35 one of the total walking away with this movie performances Rihanna as nine ball excellent she's she's really great she's come a long way since battleship you fucking dude took the joke right out of my mouth oh no well we both saw battleship at the theater same screening yeah well of course well are we going separately oh man i mentioned well no for me seeing battleship by myself would be totally fine you seeing battleship by yourself be like what were you
Starting point is 00:29:06 i love peterberg and taylor well i i sort of love peterberg i definitely love taylor kitch you love Taylor Kitch, you like Peterberg because he was helping that with Friday night lines. Right, yes. His movie's question mark, I don't know. Exactly. You remember when we saw a battleship? Yes, and that guy
Starting point is 00:29:25 was literally on the edge of his seat. I'm not misusing literally in the slightest. It was awesome. There was a dude alone watching battleship on the edge of his seat. And I was like, it was one of those moments where I was like
Starting point is 00:29:41 completely jealous of a total stranger because I was like, that guy is really loving this. I guess. And I'm miserable. I'm eating shit for two hours. What's that guy seen in this movie? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:54 And it was a weird, like, he did have like a Navy veteran's hat on. So I was like, are you like reliving days on the sea? But you didn't fight aliens. Were they, I don't even remember. I tried to forget that.
Starting point is 00:30:06 I think, yeah, they're definitely aliens. And then somehow they're also playing the game. of Battleship. But Rihanna. Yes. It's great in this and not in Battleship. She's playing a character called Nine Balls. She's like the hacker, tech expert. Sporting, amazing, awesome
Starting point is 00:30:25 super long dreads. Just totally great character. Really fucking funny. She's got a moment where there's like a little sister character that comes in who's also like a grifter. And they have some funny moments. I don't think, I mean, it's possible that she's done movies outside of this
Starting point is 00:30:43 and Battleship. I can't say as I'm entirely familiar with her music output. I guess according to the Tribune, she was in that Valerian in the city of a thousand farts or whatever that movie was. I bet that's not the name.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Yeah, probably not. Yeah, and it says that she was a performer in Bridget Jones' baby. We saw that one time when we were in L.A. I don't remember that. ification. Yeah, I mean, she focuses more on her music career, though, but it turns out she can really act and is really funny. She totally can. And also, this was another in-theater moment that was great. So, like, at the end of the movie, they, like, they basically have Mindy Kaling, like, break apart this huge Cartier necklace and make, and, like, repurpose it into, like, other different kinds of jewelry.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They all, like, carry it out. Yeah. And so part of that is, like, Rihanna, who does, unfortunately spend a hefty amount of time in, like, a security van, you know, observing. It's a hacker role, like, you're behind a computer screen. Yeah, she's looking at all the security cameras and whatnot. But, like, she has to get in on the action for this final, like, we're taking all these jewels out. And this was an in-theater moment.
Starting point is 00:31:58 You see Rihanna walking down the main stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. and she's wearing like this huge poppingly loud red dress and the theater was like you included I heard it was a beautiful dress she looked incredible
Starting point is 00:32:13 they all like the scene of them all once they get dressed up is really the costuming work for the Met Gala is incredible it's so good it's mini Kaling's dress is so beautiful it's like this gold thing with it it looked like it at a cape or something
Starting point is 00:32:30 they were all such good dresses Man, I wish I could get away with wearing a cape. You could not. And then rounding out the cast here is this woman who had never seen in anything. Right. Aquafina. Right. A rapper.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Oh, is she a rapper? Yeah, I'm too old to really know very much about her, but I know of her. She was fucking hilarious. She's so funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She has a really funny role in it. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:59 They also, they did have the preview smartly attached to this of crazy rich Asians that she's also in which looks great. It was very great preview to movie selection. Almost everything that was on it, I was like I want to see this, I want to see this. Even the Jennifer Garner stars in Taken thing, I was very
Starting point is 00:33:17 excited for that. That movie, dude, just Jennifer Garner murdering dudes? I'm all about that fucking movie. I'm 100% in, yeah. Oh my God. I'm ready. I'm excited. It was like from the director of taken. And I was like, wait, what is this movie? And then it turned out that trailer was awesome, and I have to pull up the name of it. Because I don't want to just say the... Oh, it's peppermint.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Yes, bad title. Bad name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pepperment. But it looks... It looks fucking great. Jennifer Garner is another actress I'm always pulling for, so... Totally. Also, I will say that Aquafina was apparently also in that movie Storks. Probably just... That was animated. right so she's a voice doing a voice yes she voiced quail okay um and then also we did not get on board for this sequel we did see the original and it was funny enough uh apparently she's in uh neighbors two colon oh i didn't see that sorority rise okay um oh and i guess oh man so we may have like neighbors one but we turned off the first of what she's starring
Starting point is 00:34:24 voice acting in the sequel to angry birds movie oh my god they're making enough another one of those? Yep. Yep. At least according to the Tribune. Are you going to do an episode on Angry Birds? If I can get through it,
Starting point is 00:34:36 we turned it off after like 35 minutes. You did the emoji movie. I feel like nothing. There are no rules. That's actually true. No, but Alcofina playing Constance.
Starting point is 00:34:46 That's great. Very funny character. She's like the pickpocket. She's like the Matt Damon role. Yeah, but a million times better. You know why? Because she's not a fucking
Starting point is 00:34:56 infantilized baby person. Exactly. because she's confident and she's funny and not the like oh gee, I don't know. Oh boy, oh shit my pants, this whole trilogy. There's like in Ocean's 11 specifically where he keeps
Starting point is 00:35:10 fucking things up because he won't do the things that he's supposed to like he's supposed to wait in the car with Casey Affleck and Scott Kahn and he won't do it. I'd get out of that cartoon sweet. Are you kidding that? But he screws everything up. I don't remember what he screws up.
Starting point is 00:35:23 But yeah, I just had on that movie like for 20 minutes the other day. Oh, the first one? The first one. Was that 20 minutes holding up? Yeah. I still really like the first one and have fond memories of 13, but I haven't revisited 13. No.
Starting point is 00:35:38 According to Chris Cabin, it still holds up. Yeah, I just, I can't contribute. So I think the thing that people might be curious about, and there's not a ton of it, and I think that's the move, man. Not a lot of crossover into this other parts of the OCU. No, you've, apparently there was at one point met Damon, but otherwise you have Elliott goaled in a really blink and you miss it kind of, he comes
Starting point is 00:36:01 to Danny Ocean's sort of funeral-ish something. The possibly fake mausoleum, I think is the idea. Yeah. And he's like, oh, Sandy, you can't do this heist. Whatever you're thinking about doing,
Starting point is 00:36:16 don't do it. Well, bye. Yeah, basically. Which I think that's what Chris Cabin, speaking of Chris Cabin. Right. Said was Carl Reiner on the 12th episode. with you guys, but... And the whole movie, by the way, thanks for nothing, Chris.
Starting point is 00:36:30 I'm waiting for fucking Carl Reiner to pop out. I know. They were, you idiot. He's got to be expensive to insure. You were saying Carleiner's expensive to insure? He's 135 years old, I believe. We just saw Rob Reiner and MSNBC this morning
Starting point is 00:36:45 and he's looking old. Yeah, dude, when Meathead's looking old, fucking Meathead senior. But here's the thing that kind of fucking frightened me a little bit, though. Elliot Gould, not looking. that great. I don't know how old he is, but yeah. But who knows how much it was
Starting point is 00:37:01 for the character. I mean, that guy was always sort of a a look in and of itself. That's true. Now I'm curious, though. I can't believe we didn't see Griffin Dunn's fucking face. What is that about? I don't know. I mean, he's got all his paperwork
Starting point is 00:37:17 in order. Yeah, I don't know. Oh, Elliot Gould, how about this? On August 29th of this year, he will be 80 years old. happy birthday right he was born in 1938 this summer he'll be 80 years old um yeah i don't know i guess also because um recently you had on uh the the string of friends episodes where ross famously fucking eat shit in england that idiot yeah uh and so there's a lot of like mid 90s
Starting point is 00:37:48 elliott there so i guess maybe i was like those are like season five so we're looking at like 1999. That's a long time ago. Yeah. So maybe it's just I was looking at 20 years ago Elliot Gould most recently. We all looked quite different 20 years ago. That's absolutely true. Even our Angel's Hadonis, Chris Cabin.
Starting point is 00:38:08 So Elliot Gould is in the movie. Yes. And then also a little bit of a sweet little cam at the end of the movie. You got Shaobo Kien reprising his role. He's the Chinese gymnast Yan. in all these movies.
Starting point is 00:38:24 And it totally holds up. It's great. It still has this. It pulls the same punch as it did in the original trilogy. And as a nice New York moment, sorry, non-New Yorkers, you can press the 4-15s button. I like that she goes and finds them at the Chelsea Peer's acrobat classes. Yes. It was a neat New York touch.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Which again, it's like a dude who is a millionaire. Yeah. He's just teaching acrobat classes down at the pier. It's in his heart. Yeah, I guess you can't shake being an acrobat, a high flyer. So, yeah, Yen is in the movie for like two seconds. He helps them out with like... But a great two seconds.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Like, Elliot Gould, you could cut Matt Damon, you apparently very easily could cut. But I think his works best. And then a really nice, it's a literally on paper cameo. But it's an odd placement. You're seeing like Sandra Bullock's bathroom. Right. And there's a framed photograph of George Clooney, which is clearly just, like cluny in the wild like some photo of him smiling that fucking handsome smile i read some i had
Starting point is 00:39:30 been reading and in style with sandra bullock on the cover and thought i read that he was a producer on it but i didn't see him in the credits when we were looking at it so i don't know if that's what what the deal is there if it's just sort of in name only if he's like attached to it right from being in the original trilogy but he i believe did have some involvement in it but was very clear in saying at least what the article that I read said was that no no this isn't my movie again this is yours I'm not getting involved and that's the move right I feel like a lesser film and a lesser like situation of people would be like oh my god we're so fucked we need help who can we call and then it's like bump bop bada right and then like multiple of them walk in like cluni included right
Starting point is 00:40:20 I really enjoyed the 2016 Ghostbusters. Sorry, internet. Please don't come at me. Please, no death threats. I really liked that. Internet, go fuck yourself. I like to, too. I do think that you didn't need all of those cameos.
Starting point is 00:40:36 I think those could have been cut. I think Sigourney Weavers was great. That's kind of the only one I would keep. It's also just weird in that movie that none of them are playing the characters as far as I've remembered. Except. Bill Murray's. definitely not. Is she playing Dana Barrett in that movie? I think
Starting point is 00:40:54 so. I don't remember. I don't remember. It was two years ago. I like that movie and why isn't that movie streaming anywhere? There have been so many times where I go to look for it and it's not on streaming anywhere. Come on Netflix. Netflix, I know you're listening. Please. I liked that movie enough. I thought the
Starting point is 00:41:10 third act with like, oh, we're fighting a big thing again was kind of dumb. I'm talking about Ghostbusters. Not Ocean's 8. Right. There was no big fight thing. in the third act of oceans eight they don't fight some giant monster I don't know I love the third act of
Starting point is 00:41:26 Ocean's 8 or of Ghostbusters rather excuse me but I won't get into how Kate McKinnon made me cry doing all the fight stuff we're not talking about that that's fine although I guess I am we hate movies featured they made a blockbuster for women in the summer person to come in and talk about these things right so you did appear on our Wonder Woman
Starting point is 00:41:46 if there's a 2019 women blockbuster I still live where you record. So I guess I'll be available. I don't know. I gotta tell you it's nice just having you in the studio. And the dog gets to hang out here. Normally she gets kicked out. She's sleeping on the floor. It's better doing this with your family than a bunch of fucking pigs that come in. I'll tell you. Those pigs are great. Those pigs are great. Those pigs are something. Let's talk about the third act though because we sort of both had beef with this. So like the heist goes down. Right. It's successful. Right. They get away. They're millionaires.
Starting point is 00:42:18 and then farting his way into this movie. And I will say farting his way, because he farts right in. James Corden. I felt the same way about James Corden and this that I do about any of the James Corden bits that I end up seeing online because I don't watch this show, but every and then, like, stuff would get shared on Twitter or Facebook or whatever. You can't dodge him on the internet. Where I'm always like, I like this and I think it's funny,
Starting point is 00:42:43 but I would like it more without James Corden in it. That's how I felt. Like, he was funny, and I laughed at it, but I would also prefer it not be there. Yes. And can I just say, it's amazing the parallels that are happening right now, because this is what happens in this movie. The third act of this movie happens, and James Corton comes in, and you're like, oh, like Chelsea said.
Starting point is 00:43:06 It would be better if it wasn't James Corden. And I will say, we just noticed before we went on the air, our good buddy from across the pond, John Rain, host of Smersh Pod. listen to that you guys all you bondophiles out there and just fans of comedy good comedy smersh pod
Starting point is 00:43:23 he retweeted a video of I guess a bunch of people were on tour some like pay a billion dollars to go in this like Beatles auto tour and they were driving by
Starting point is 00:43:35 Paul McCartney's like childhood home motherfucker was there and like all of a sudden Paul McCartney comes out and I'm like what an amazing moment for these people
Starting point is 00:43:44 and then like right to behind him as James Corden and it was like, what is happening? Stop infiltrating the third act of things that are good. Yeah. It was ridiculous. Yeah. Why was he there?
Starting point is 00:43:57 Was he making that legend sing in a van? Were they doing a carpool karaoke? Was it confusing? Because then he has to be on the other side. Yeah. Maybe they flip the frame for the fucking video. No, I just couldn't believe it. There he is again.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Just laughing. He's kind of everywhere. And it's just, he's everywhere. and he's always kind of fine, but it would always be better without him there. That's right. So he's in this movie as like a fucking insurance claims adjuster. So he's like investigating what went down
Starting point is 00:44:29 because they realize immediately when the necklace gets taken back to Cartier. It's kind of a really fun moment. That how they pull it off is they've 3D printed it in cubic zirconia. Yes, which is pretty cool. Or at least zirconia, if there's a different song. They just keep saying. in Zirconia. It's fine by me.
Starting point is 00:44:48 I'll allow it. And so the dude looking through his little eyepiece and realizing it's fake, fucking great. Very funny. A lot of great comedy in this movie, but this dude who's like in two scenes both taking place in a vault.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Very funny reaction to realizing it's Zirconia. I guess since we're talking about the men who are in this movie, we can also mention Richard Armitage, who I didn't otherwise know because I didn't see any of the Hobbit movies. I was going to say, who's that dude? He's the foil.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Kind of the Julia Roberts character, but not as big of a part. I'm playing Claude Becker in this movie. So he's in it. If you liked him in the Hobbit movies, then he's... Oh, he's... Thorin? I got IMDB up here. No idea.
Starting point is 00:45:34 I just looked him up because watching the movie the whole time. I was like, who is this guy? Apparently, it was supposed to be Damien Lewis. From... Oh, from Homeland? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's a better choice. But I feel like, if anything, the role is so nothing that we'd be wasting Damien Lewis.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Also, I guess he was in Hannibal playing Francis Dollar Hyde, which I don't know that I watched enough of Hannibal to make it to that character. I've never seen any of it. No, it was season 13. 13 of him? I'm sorry, I was looking at he was in a third season, episode 13. Oh, my God. No, that show had three seasons. I was like, why are people complaining about it getting canceled too early
Starting point is 00:46:18 if he got 13 seasons? That's more than friends. No, he was in the third and final season, supposedly, in hand, well, playing Francis Dullar, as they, I guess, worked Silence of the Lambs into what would have possibly been the fourth season of the show. But yeah, he's Thorin in those Hobbit movies, which I could not fucking tell you. I saw all three of them. No, you only saw the first one.
Starting point is 00:46:43 No, I saw all three of those movies. Not all in theaters. The first one I saw in theaters it was the thing where I was embarrassed for other people online. It was a midnight show and I went only because there was Star Trek footage. And there were people like
Starting point is 00:46:57 dressed up all around me like quote unquote speaking in Elvish. But it was because you wanted to see the Star Trek footage that you also went to go see it in high frame rate. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was awful. Apparently this dude's also in Captain America
Starting point is 00:47:11 the First Avenger playing Heinz Kruger Another character I do not remember. Anyway, yeah, I thought that dude was totally fine. He's fine, yeah. He's just some man meat that they fuck over. He's not bad. I just, in case, because I know there are Hobbit fans, I'm not one. Yeah, they're out there.
Starting point is 00:47:30 They're out there. But that, I guess, is a character that's just in the Hobbit movies and not in any L-O-T-R proper. Oh, we were talking about James Cord. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's like investigating, like, what the deal is and the whole thing is like they're doing these like
Starting point is 00:47:47 throughout the movie it's like rule number seven blah blah blah rule number two blah blah similar to the original at least 11 yeah I don't think they bring that back at least not in 12 I haven't watched 13 in a while but so Sandy is like reminding them of all these rules we think
Starting point is 00:48:03 hey Blanchett is like hey rule number whatever no doing a job inside another job and the whole thing is this dude wound up putting Debbie O in jail by ratting her on this like art scam that they were doing. He's like a he's like a downtown like Soho artist kind of a thing. And so that sort of is the biggest sort of overlap between him and the Julia
Starting point is 00:48:27 Roberts character, not even just the art thing, but. Oh, because she, yeah, she is. She's a curator or like an appraiser or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the scene where Kate Blanchett is calling Sandra Bullock at for why are you involving him in this is very similar to the scene in 11 when Brad Pitt does the same to George Clooney about
Starting point is 00:48:48 Julia Roberts. Right, right, right. So there's some symmetry. And then that also kind of flops back into 12 because then like Brad Pitt's character has the prior relationship with Kevin Zia Jones. I'm fine with pretending that that movie doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:49:06 You did an episode, you never have to watch it ever again. Yes, that's true. So yeah, that's, so that's It's like James Corden thing, but that's what we're talking about, like, the third act of the movie. Basically, like, it turns into, like, the James Corden investigation hour. It does, and the biggest bummer of why you can feel it slow down, I mean, one is James Corden, but two, you don't get the women together for the majority of the third act. Right. And then when you finally do, it picks back up again.
Starting point is 00:49:34 But the movie lives and dies by how great your ensemble is. Why would you get rid of the ensemble and just do a couple of here and. and there are scenes with maybe Sandra Bullock and James Gordon at juniors. Oh, right, yeah. Oh, juniors in Brooklyn. Yeah. Some good cheesecake.
Starting point is 00:49:51 They are earlier as a scene at Veselka, which is one of Andrews of my favorite restaurants in the East Village. If you are ever in the East Village gang, Veselka on 2nd Avenue, it's Ukrainian. The best parochies. Oh, my God. The potato pancakes. It's fucking awesome.
Starting point is 00:50:07 So good. Yeah, but it's weird because there's even a. scene where James Corden goes and talks to this Richard Armitage dude and I'm like none of the age are in this scene I know let's get out of here yeah you don't you really those are more stuff you could cut I'd rather take I mean I'd take a fucking Matt Damon came over that nonsense yeah probably depends on what the cameo was who knows also true so um so we mentioned all the cameos those are all the the refs right uh those those three things or whatever the end of the movie is like, I found the last scene kind of weird. Oh, I really liked it. It's, I guess it's weird
Starting point is 00:50:49 because I can't tell how much of a setup it is slash I was waiting for him to walk around a corner. Oh, wait. So you mean the very, very last scene, her and the mausoleum, not them on the subway cutting to what they did with all their money. No, no, no, no. I see. I thought you meant that. Yeah, that I really, really, really liked. All right, so we'll flip-flop it. We can talk about that in a second. Okay. First, but mine was first. All right. So, so. let's talk about your first. So, like, the, I will say, so, yeah, the whole what they did with everything. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:18 It's the promotional image that they released first of them all riding the subway together. Right. And it's very, a lot of this movie is stylistically indicative of the trilogy, which is nice. Again, yes, lots of the same music, lots of the same editing. Yeah, roping it into the OCU, everybody. I'm getting that going. But a lot of the same sort of transitions and everything. Oh, Kate Blanchett, that's another OCU, MCU, overlap.
Starting point is 00:51:42 continue. Oh, right, Thorat Ragnarok, of course. Right. Sorry. No, I'm glad you snagged it. I stopped a tweet. I don't know. It's been long enough. I probably didn't stop it.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Now maybe they'll delete it. There's always, that's always the fucking greatest where it's like, oh, looks like I tweeted too early, but. So that's what you should do, gang. Take notes of your grievances and wait till the years. Twitter lets you save drafts. So what everybody does with everything. So now I'm going to try to remember everything. Right.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Let's see if we can. I know. Cape Lanhip buys a motorcycle and looks like she's driving around Monterey because it looked like the beginning of Big Little Lies. Maybe we'll get a big little lies overlap into the OCEU. I would love that. Into the Little Lies of Earth. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:52:35 She, it's kind of like the most unclear. If only because they all got like 36 million. And she goes and she helps kill Nicole Kidman's husband who's terrible and she and Rees Witherspoon and Shilene Woodley all become friends. It's fine. Oh, oh, I see. And Zoe Kravitz, yeah. Aquafina buys what looks like Brooklyn or Long Island City kind of enormous condo studio sort of space, whatever. She's really funny. Yes, and she appears to be doing one of those, like she's making a living, doing like Instagram videos or something.
Starting point is 00:53:10 which is pretty cool. Rihanna has bought a bar named after herself. Right, which is nice. Like a pool hall. Yeah, she goes by nine balls. So the lounge is like nineers or nines or something. Right. Anne Hathaway is directing because of course.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Did you notice the woman? So it's like you see her. She's like directing like a scene between a man and a woman. I thought for a second there was a little CGI Tom Foolery because the actress that's like she's directing in the scene I thought was also Anne Hathaway for a second. I don't think they would do that. No, it doesn't make any sense at all.
Starting point is 00:53:51 It doesn't make any sense. I did still have IMDB open from this and one thing that we skipped as I'm going back to look to see who played her which I couldn't find though is there is a great speaking of how much work this movie gave to women. There's a great little featured sequence where you get that they've hired older women to help auction off the pieces that they've stolen. And you get Marlowe Thomas, Dana Ivy, Mary Louise Wilson, and Elizabeth Ashley all in a movie in 2018. So it's great if that's a thing that you would care about. One of them, not Marlowe Thomas. Dana Ivy is from Adams family.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Adam's family. Marlowe Thomas was that girl. She's also in the friends universe like Elliot Gould. She's Rachel's mom. That's right. Okay. And Mary Louise Wilson I mostly know as a theater actress I know she's been in stuff Apparently she was in Pet Cemetery I don't know if she's the mom in that No that's what's her face from Star Trek
Starting point is 00:54:45 Then she's another person And then Elizabeth Ashley was on stage coach Stage coach She also She's probably been in other stuff Please don't tweet I don't care Is she a theater actress though Because this woman
Starting point is 00:54:59 I think she's also from Yes she's also in theater I think she's also from Florida She looked terribly familiar. Oh, she's in happiness. Todd Haynes, excuse me. Happiness. Yeah, she's a three-time Tony nominee.
Starting point is 00:55:16 So she's also done a lot of theater like Mary Louise Wilson. She's also, how do we not get this? We both love this movie. She's also in the best little horror house in Texas. I do love that movie. I fucking love that movie, dude. Charles Durning in that movie? He's so great.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Anyway, sorry. So how they all spend their money. They cut to all of them spending their money. We're probably not going to remember the rest now. No, I was just doing it as a challenge to us. We saw the movie less than 24 hours ago. That's true. I can't remember any of the rest of them.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Sarah Paulson is stealing more stuff, possibly buying some of it now and selling it. It was a weird, like, is she opening like an overstock.com type of? Maybe. I don't know. Because it's like her, she's got like employees. She's wearing a hard. hat. It's a warehouse. Like a tractor? No. What do you call this? Forklift? A forklift. Yeah. Yeah, so she's doing that. We got Aquafina. We got Sarah Paulson and Hathaway.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Okay, Blancho. What is? Oh, well, so Sandy, we don't really see her. Well, we cut to her at the thing that I cut you off from talking about, which we'll get back to. Oh, also, well, Helen Bonham Carter opens like a store on Fifth Avenue. Yes, yes, yeah. That's, like, her big achievement. Now I think we got everybody else. Okay. So, yeah, so Sandy's back at the mausoleum. Right. Nice, cool little thing.
Starting point is 00:56:38 She opens up a bag and she's got a little martini glass and a mixer. She pours a little martini, puts a little olive in it. And what does she say to this? She's like, you would have been so proud. You would love this or something like. And then we just cut to black. Yeah. And like, I thought that was the moment.
Starting point is 00:56:56 No George Clooney cameo. Yeah. And when it cut to black, I was like, oh, well done. You managed to keep him out. Again, the thing said that he didn't want to because, one, he respected the movie and two, he's a billionaire and doesn't need any more acting paychecks ever again. Yeah, no, he was busy, you know, living a glorious life in Lake Como, the set of Oceans 12, or at least part of it. But no, when it hit black, I was like, well done. Like, you avoided, you had some, you know, weavings in of the other movies.
Starting point is 00:57:26 but like... It's a good... It's almost standalone. I don't think you do need to see the original trilogy to care about it. No, not the slightest. Because, I mean, with like, Yen... It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Elliot Gould doesn't... No. Like, you know, if you haven't seen any of those movies, Ellie Gould could just pass as, like, you might confuse for, like, the father or something like that. I mean, I guess maybe you wouldn't understand who Danny Ocean is. You might be confused, yeah. I just don't know...
Starting point is 00:57:54 Maybe people who don't know what those... Gravity spin-off because doesn't he die in that and she survives? Maybe that's... Yeah. Oh, yeah, he totally eats shit that movie. I forgot about that. Yeah, no, he's super dies in that movie. She, like, sees his ghost for a while.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Or it's like a hallucination or some shit, I don't know. I skipped it. Yeah, well, because you couldn't do, like, the 3-D. I get motion sickness, yeah. Do you ever tell the story when I saw that movie? Maybe? In the theater and... People will be listening.
Starting point is 00:58:21 They might not know. It's not just you and me and the dog. It's, uh, well, that's what it feels. like. It just feels like we're having a conversation. And the dog's asleep. Yeah, no, she's ignoring us. It's totally fine. Oh, now she's on the couch. Oh, there she's. She's very cute. No, I saw the movie. I somehow
Starting point is 00:58:36 was able to finagle getting tickets to the premiere of the movie, like the New York premiere. Oh, I do know this. And it's really funny. If you don't end up telling the story that I think you're going to tell. Oh, because it also is relevant to Ocean's 8, so continue first with whatever you're saying. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:52 So there's two stories roped on this. I got you. I'll tell the second one. You tell the first one. I don't know why I'm telling it. It's not my story, but whatever. No, I think of the deal was a buddy of mine had tickets, and he was like, oh, do you want to go see Graven? He was like, fuck yeah, let's do it. And it turned out to be the New York premiere of the movie, which was weird.
Starting point is 00:59:11 I totally wasn't dressed for it. But we were sitting in front of Regis Philbin. Oh, that's right. And so we're watching the movie, and like, I don't know if it was like the first 3D movie. Regis Philbin had ever seen or like... It's like the train coming towards him the first time and he doesn't understand it. We almost got killed!
Starting point is 00:59:36 I think he was there for that premiere too, though. No, but so we got Regis and so this movie's happening and Gravity is a movie that's only worth watching if it's in 3D and on a screen. It's a very immersive thing. Whatever, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, I don't care how inaccurate it is. It was fun. But Regis, like you're just watching
Starting point is 00:59:55 this movie and all this harrowing shit has happened and you just got like wow whoa holy cap he's like screaming in the fucking theater yeah uh no but then so coming out there's another connective tissue here Andrew through work gets to see more celebrities movie stars people in entertainment than I do and most often my question is how tall are they so one person that he came home from the premiere and he said that he saw was Katie Holmes and I wasn't making it up and she was actually that it wasn't just saying it i believe you and i love dawson's creek so i was very excited and where we're saying it's relevant to this is she does have one line in oceans eight she's a meg gala attendee playing katie holmes right not not playing anyone else um but so when
Starting point is 01:00:45 you saw gravity you said that the story was that you were like chelsea's going to want to know how tall katie holmes is is she wearing heels and that you went to check to see she was quite tall like is this all shoes is she an actually tall woman i don't know right and that you checked and she was wearing a little bit of a heel but not much so she's obviously tallish but not you know whatever but that she caught you doing that and thought you were checking her out and was like this scumbagher yeah she was like look at this pig look at this pig looking at me and people when i related that to people they're like uh and you was just checking on katy holmes i'm like that why would he tell me no this was the shoes i believe you maybe i'm being naive i mean one could
Starting point is 01:01:23 argue that it was a two-for-one situation. But I know, I was like she's going to want to know. I got to get to the bottom of this. So I got to look at her feet. What is she wearing? And it turns out she's not a giant woman. But no, she caught me. I got caught
Starting point is 01:01:39 in a peak. And it was a real, get a good look, Kastanza situation. I felt embarrassed. And then we got off the elevator and she never spoke to me again. Heartbreaking. Escalator, excuse me. And now she's with Jamie Fox. She found. I can't even believe it. It could have been you. I can't even. I just missed it. You could have been doing this with Katie Holmes, been like, hey, how was your
Starting point is 01:01:56 cameo in Oceans 8? I was just too dazzled by Regis. Yeah, well, who wouldn't be? So that's the movie. They sort of like leave the door open. Yeah, I think there's definitely, nobody's in jail or anything. I don't know how box stuff is looking so far. We're recording this Saturday night of opening weekend. Yeah, I haven't been paying attention just yet. But they're definitely leaving possibility. And it's also like the kind of the real question and it's a challenge for a sequel to get made if they do an ocean's 10 because the only oh pardon me nine yes I'm getting ahead of myself I just really want that trilogy I want to want to want to line out yeah um because there's no real uh and I guess this is sort of a weird part of the movie there's no real antagonist here there's no Andy Garcia character yeah you kind of have that in Anne Hathaway but then she flips so yeah but So then my cautious... I guess James Corden.
Starting point is 01:02:54 That's the thing. Oh, I don't know. Like, let's figure something out. Honestly, have her... Have Debbie and crew fuck over Andy Garcia again. I'll watch that. Have Anna Wintor be like, you guys messed up my party. Anna Wintor is like, I'm going full in on acting now.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Because she is featured in this, which makes it a nice sort of weird alternate universe Devil Wars product. Yes, big time. in its own way, I don't know, connect the dots, it's there. But it was weird though. Didn't you think, because they take, so they show her, when they cut to her office, like Sarah Paulson's got a job there, and she's from behind, and you see the famous, like, bowl cut. It's very, what's his name?
Starting point is 01:03:40 Steinbrenner, on Seinfeld. Steinbrenner on Seinfeld. There it is. There it is. And I was like, oh, fuck, are we just not going to show her? But then they like kind of turn. All in the mecala scenes, though. She might have just not filmed the stuff in the offices.
Starting point is 01:03:54 No, you do, they do a cut. You do see her, like, from profile. She's got, like, two lines. Oh, right, now I remember that. She does actually say it, and I was like, all right, good, because that would have been really gimmicky. It's a little silly. And kind of stupid.
Starting point is 01:04:06 But so that's the, I mean, you got to find somebody. Because I cannot suffer more James Gordon. And he's more James Gordon in another. Yeah, no, no, no. But so overall, you're satisfied. I am. recommend this movie? I would. Yeah, I think if you're in the mood for a women-led summer blockbuster, it's going to be a little while before Mamma Mia, here I go again, opens. You know, if that's
Starting point is 01:04:34 something you want, if you really like the Oceans trilogy, which I do, this is a fun time. Everyone in the theater when we went to go see it seemed to be having a really good time. Hootin and hollering. Lots of enthusiastic movie go-goers. Yeah, absolutely. I would recommend it. Also, if you're, like, way more up on, like, the fashion scene. Yeah. Because there were so many moments when they're showing, like, the gala. And I was like, all right, I see, like, Kim Kardashian and the B-roll, okay. Right.
Starting point is 01:05:01 But there were so many people that even the two of us were like, huh? Yeah. But a lot of the people in the theater were like, ooh. I think we were a little older than a lot of the people in the theater. And they seemed to know them. There was Gigi Hadid at one point. And I was like, I think that's a Hadid sister, but I don't know which one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:17 So if the mechella is a thing you're excited about during the year, then this is a fun caper take on it, you know. Yeah, no, you know, it was just nice to have it in a thing that, like, wasn't a casino. It was a nice change to New York. And, I mean, maybe people who really love Vegas and love casinos feel that way above 11. I guess, I mean, not that you or I are connected to the mechella even slightly. No. I watched half an hour of the red carpet this year, so that means I'm an expert. but we're at least we live in the city where it happens
Starting point is 01:05:48 with the tiniest bit more connected so that made it interesting to us if you are a person who is even more connected to the Met Gala than proximity, then you will actually care about this movie. I'll say to add on to the, like how much of a New York movie it is, it must have been a bitch to film in that museum. Yeah, I would really love to know more about
Starting point is 01:06:11 some sort of director's commentary because it is all in the met. That must have been a lot of evenings. Yeah, what's the time of day? What are we doing? I mean, they're not getting daylight. They're in the Egypt rooms and getting a lot of outside, and it's all nighttime.
Starting point is 01:06:29 So I think that that helps. Because the Egyptian room, though, am I remembering this wrong? It's all sun. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. Yeah, that room they're in for a lot of it. That's where the heist ends up or not happening. It's where a lot of it is. Happening-ish.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Happening-ish. It's all happening-ish in lots of places. And it's night time, so that helps. Yeah. It was probably two in the morning. There's probably so many tired met employees working there being like, please don't actually steal anything. We're so tired.
Starting point is 01:06:58 A lot of frustrated security guards. So, so tired. But no, yeah. So as anyone who's fans of like on location shooting, this movie's got it all over the board. It was really impressive. Very, very cool. Especially filming in the world's greatest museum.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Sorry, Louvra. We haven't been there, I don't know. No, no, no, the Mets the greatest. Okay. No, no, no. So that concludes this Oceans 8 on screen. Recommendations from the Jupin family, at least. The dog was fine with us going to see it because she got to nap at home.
Starting point is 01:07:29 And she got to nap while we recorded about it, too. She sleeps a lot. She does sleep a lot. Oh, man, the life of a dog. 16 hours a day, I think, something like that. So until next time, I'm Andrew Jupin. And I'm Chelsea. Take it easy.
