This week on the program, good luck keeping track of all these stupid names.
It's G.I. Joe, The Rise of Cobra.
I'm Andrew Juppin.
Steven Sadak.
Storm Cabin.
Siska Commander.
And we hate movies.
I should have done one.
Hello, everyone, welcome to We Hate Movies.
Thank you for tuning in, as always, and welcome to the start of the 2019 summer
blockbuster extravaganza.
Take those pants off.
It's summer.
Start jerking it.
No, no, no.
And put those shorts on because it's summertime.
What about Jorts?
Can I keep my Jords on?
You can jerk off in Jorts?
I have.
And I will again.
I do it carefully though.
God stop me before I jerk off in Jorts again.
That's right.
We are kicking things off with the G.I. Joe,
colon, the Rise of Cobra from 2009, directed by mummy enthusiast Stephen Summers.
Is it G.I. Jerk Rise of Come.
Come on.
That's terrible. What are you doing?
I just had to do it.
You know what? I like it.
Yeah, I know you would.
Fucking degenerate couch over there.
If you like unfocus your eyes a little bit,
you would swear this movie came out in 2004.
Like it does not feel like 2009.
It feels like,
2000, fucking four.
Especially with the fucking computer effects
that we're working with in this movie.
Forget it.
Well, the sell-by date for Stephen Somer.
was 1999.
You had to happen before then, or if not, like, the mummy was it.
That was the peak of his career to me.
Was he also Van Helsing?
You was.
That was also a piece of shit.
That is terrible.
That was aught for, though.
And that's on our Patreon feed there, by the way.
That's correct.
And this actually reminded me of the film The Kingsman, which we just did on our
Patreon feed, which dropping this month as well.
Right.
The rise of the Kingsman, whatever the hell that's stupid movies.
The rise of, not the golden egg.
No, his secret service.
His secret service.
The first of the one of them there.
His, not her majesty's.
Ew.
But because, like, the question is, like, what age range is this for?
Is this for babies or is this for, like, some of this was...
It's not for babies, though.
It's very violent for babies.
Exactly.
American babies are very violent.
American baby.
Wasn't that a Dave Matthews song?
Yeah, what?
American baby.
It's not more of a, like, a Blake.
Shelton, baby.
You're on American,
Mary American people.
That is right on the money, man.
That guy was, I never liked Dave Matthews,
but that, you know, I dabbled, man.
Most people do like him.
I dabbled quite a bit.
Great musicianship.
Some of the best live shows I've ever seen in my life.
It's true.
It's very good life.
This is like 13 to 16 year old.
I feel specifically.
Now, okay, now we got to start at the beginning.
G.I. Joe was these, like,
little action figures.
Yes.
Which are made for babies.
Made for babies.
And they glamorize war.
Yes.
The military as well.
United States.
Specifically.
Yeah, just like the NFL.
1980s.
And they're both great.
They're both fantastic.
Peace time warriors.
These guys.
Well, that's the weird thing about the G.I. Joe.
First, just to stop some tweets.
They were like action.
There were dolls, like Barbie dolls.
Yeah, big ass dolls.
Like the 60s, I want to say.
64, I think, is when the thing happened.
And there was just like a G.I. Joe, whatever.
And then the 80s, they revamped it.
That's what the little figures came in.
Right, you're three-inchers.
There's comic books floating around somewhere and all this mess.
The huge cartoon series.
But Eric's right, though.
They were peacetime warriors.
I think it's really weird to have a G.I. Joe series anywhere after 9-11.
When we have three to five active wars going on.
And we mentioned that some of these soon-to-be Joes served in a night.
Afghanistan.
Nope.
Get it out.
Get it out of here.
And it's like
G.I. Joe
existed in a time
where it's like
the Cold War's
going on,
but we're not
outright engaging
the Soviet Union.
So G.I.
Joe has a proxy
war with
Cobra.
I personally assume
is bankrupt
by the Soviet Union.
Oh, without a
doubt.
Makes sense.
Without a fucking
doubt, dude.
It's like,
yes,
Commander Gorbachev.
Yes, we will.
You know,
Gorbachev,
that's why I have a
helmet on.
I, too,
have a whine
stain on my forehead.
Well, Duke, I need you to go out there, and I need you to get one for the Gipper.
That Cobra Commander's a Ruski, son of a bitch.
I can smell it from here.
I can smell the pierogies on his breath, Mommy.
Go get him, Hawk, Mommy.
I hear that.
Yes, sir.
This is Hawk Mommy talking.
Hawk Mommy reporting for duty.
It's me, Hawk, Mommy.
I'm just glad that the piece of shit Carter's out of here.
This is the GI Joe
The Rise of the Cobra
This is what do you call it there
It's like the first of a franchise kind of sort
I mean the G.I. Joe, they're out.
It is, right?
I'll tell you what, though.
Big mistake on this movie here is Stephen Summers
and whoever wrote it.
I'm not going to look it up.
But garbage people.
Let's just pretend for a second
that the people going to see this movie
know about G.I. Joe's.
And maybe, just maybe,
we can start with everybody
being in place places everyone
places GI Joe
Cobra Commander you're already fucking
Cobra Commander yeah yeah you know
like Destro you're already fucking Destro dude
this origin story horse hockey
The thing you definitely want
is to start your GI Joe movie
with the lines Jamie McCullin
you Scottish pig
dude let me tell you bad
1640 fucking one
move Stephen Somers starting your G.I. Joe
movie in 17th century friend
I paused the Amazon file.
I'm like, are we sure or we're supposed to be?
I was concerned.
I was like, what did I just rent?
Yo, Bezos, you fuck up that file?
I'm fixing it.
I'm fixing it.
The madness of King George or something.
Dude, it's like the first five minutes of this movie is the man in the iron mask and fucking get bent, dude.
Wait, I thought Mel Gibson was in Braveheart.
What the fuck is going on here?
And it's like this guy who is selling what is this Scottish guy?
Selling to both sides.
Selling to both sides.
They're putting this molten mask on his face.
And here's my question, do you gentlemen here?
Sure.
Yes.
Do you want to go into that situation, shaved or not shaved?
Oh, does it matter?
It's all burning.
I'm going to die.
I don't know.
Here's what.
Would you want a firm fit?
Because this guy's floppy hair is kind of everywhere, too.
I'll tell you what the answer is.
It's shaved because.
this way
it's only one bad smell
just burnt flesh
otherwise it's burnt flesh
and then too burnt hair
that's a bad smell
but burning anything
is temporary
that smell will fade in time
and I say
slap it on my face
no matter what I got going on
I don't know
my glasses sometimes
if I have longer hair
sometimes like
a little strand will get caught
in my arm
I'm like oh I want to minimize that
but it's all burning off
instantly
yeah that's true yeah
Oh, your head of hair is gone.
I mean, I think your eyes pop like grapes.
Don't like a molten mask.
Yeah, that fucking puts on anything you'd survive.
Also, you don't have glasses in 1641.
I think they'd burn you at the stake for that.
He's wearing witch goggles.
Would they take my glasses off or no?
Would they put it on over there?
Oh, they'd leave them on so then the heat would break the glass into your eyeballs
and then also blind you?
That's double trouble.
What if it, like, perfectly mold so you always have your lenses?
there, that'd be kind of nice, right?
And then you cut to Christopher Eccleston
who's like, well, that was a waste
of time. Anyway, G.I. Joe,
Rise of the Cobra. And what this movie
again, man, Stephen Summers, another
fucking douche chill for you, buddy.
The fucking text that
brings us into the present day
in the not too distant
future. You cannot
use that. Movie
sign, guys. We got movie sign.
I could not
believe that that text came up
in the not too distant future.
I will say also like
here and this
speaking of a Kingsman
I don't like the first of
you know my sequel legislations
etc. I don't think the first
of a franchise should have a colon on it
it should be G.I. Joe
the Kingsman because then when you put
the colon I'm like did I miss the first
one like sure and when I was trying to rent this
I'm like which one are we doing is it
right? I agree with that
yeah but like are they counting
the fucking animated movie? Well you shouldn't
I mean G.I. Joe the movie
Hey, guess what you should?
Well, no, but Stephen Summers, he's, you know, empty brain.
Also, in your legislation, Steve, you probably should count the animated, right?
I don't know when you're mixed media is like that, pal.
Really?
Yeah, that's tough.
So it's like animated.
So you got to do like G.I. Joe 1 parentheses animated.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, that's why like when you're doing like on the grand scale of Star Wars, that fucking heinous clone
Wars movie doesn't count.
Senator, Senator.
I wish she didn't count.
I believe you counted Mask of the Fantasm in your Batman.
Oh, all right.
Oh, fuck.
Now we're going to move to impeach.
Somebody better.
This is one McConnell will sign off on.
Yeah, that's fine.
Go ahead and do it.
Now, Mask of the Fantasms takes place in the Fantasm universe.
It's like balls.
Batman fighting a fucking old, tall guy.
Wow.
I might check it out now.
Yeah, look out for them orbs, dude.
Yo, Batman, look out for them orbs, dude.
So Christopher Eccleson is going to be Destro by,
fucking minute 400 of this movie
is giving his speech at the United Nations
about this new thing he's got
which are nanites which are like little robot
I thought it was NATO
it's NATO I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention
I was drunk the whole time
and it's him and he's given this speech
and Dennis Quaid
as General Hawk is just in attendance
yep just there
just sitting hanging back dude
just seeing what's up
With the character that I don't think they really give
It's listed in the cast
But I don't think they ever say it
Cover Girl
Yes, she's one of the Joe's man
That's right, she gets...
A model that finds her higher calling
Being a G.I. Joe.
And then gets fucking unceremoniously murdered
in this movie.
I was thinking of Buzzsaw cover girl.
How about Lacerate?
Cover girl.
You know, my problem with the casting
all around in this movie
just compared to the cartoon,
not enough bears.
Yeah.
That cartoon,
they are all drawn
like the most handsome bears
you've ever seen.
Let a mustache to be found
in this film.
What the fuck are we doing?
Hairy beef cakes.
Exactly.
I don't need this baby Channing Tatum shit.
No.
He's fucking shave like a seal.
It's disgusting.
He's unpalatable.
Get the cast of Bear City
and or Bear City 2,
the proposal into G.
Pause.
What?
Those are romantic comedies about people.
Oh, is that right?
Yeah.
Wait, Bear, Bear, Bears, Two?
What, Bear City, too?
Bear City, too, the legend of Curly's Gold.
Bear City, Two, Rise of the Cobra.
No, Bear City, too.
No, retaliation.
Bear City, too, the proposal.
Okay, now, and what network was this?
No, those are movies.
I mean, those are, like, I mean,
they're probably direct to streaming more than,
Maybe they played out the quad, like television.
That's not on the religious channel.
Yeah, exactly.
They're both, uh, uh, uh, yeah.
One of perfect Duke, Jason Mamoa.
Yeah, that's it.
Get the man in there.
Oh, that's, that's a furry guy I like.
And that you can have him team up with fucking rock in the second one.
And it makes more sense because two beef cakes.
What's the deal with the rock?
Can he grow a beard or what?
That's a great question.
I bet you, Dwayne Johnson can grow some fantastic facial hair.
Then I better see it, dude.
Yeah.
is he waiting for yeah you're right actually because he could do the thing where he's like the
cue bald guy but then he's got the beard with the fucking baller did he have beard in uh hercules
maybe maybe that was definitely the longest it's been i don't know if you would call
you know what i'm googling the rock with a beard we're gonna see what's gonna happen thank you
while you do that i will vamp about hercules now i had saw that movie once and i remember
it wasn't as bad doesn't he like kill a lion with his bare hands in that movie i think he killed
stuff, yeah. I think a
CGI lion. Well, yeah.
Clearly. He murders a real
line. Okay, Steve, you got that
photo. I'm pretty tapped out here. Oh, dude, he's
got a beard. Do you kidding me? Dude, look at this thing.
Look at that. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Look at that, dude.
That's a fond villain. No, he
does not. Oh, man, I didn't
even get cast at Bear City to
the proposal.
Fingers crossed for Bear City
3, PG. The divorce.
yeah that's what I'd be in
the divorce the one where the bears
down on his fucking luck
oh great so do I get to like hook up with it
what I'm the divorce lawyer
I can't even hook up with the bears
wait a minute
Bear City 3 the divorce
I'm literally a bear
the bear breaks up with me
in the first 10 minutes
what
is anybody in these Bear City
no no I don't believe so
just some randot Canadians
Yeah, I think it's one of them. Fair enough. Fair enough.
So you recommend them? You recommend those movies?
I've seen both of them. I don't remember either of them. Oh, nice. Yeah, man.
So Christopher Eccleston, he's describing very, it's like your go-to-sci-fi technology when you just need a bullshit excuse for anything, nanotechnology, these nanomites that he's making.
Christopher Eccleston, when you need a go-to villain to do anything in a movie.
I fucking love him, though, dude. I do, too. I really do, too.
but he just does anytime he's in a big budget movie my eyebrows go up better stir clear
of that one yeah he's crooked the best doctor who i'll say it i like him a lot he's one season
but he's great he was the only he was the only doctor who he was the only doctor who i could
stomach i like i'm a tenant guy for the most part i like some tenant you guys are watching
doctor who i watched that first season with ecliston and then i didn't know that was his only
season and then i got into the tenant racket yeah i was like it's fine and i and i know listen
dear audience. I know that
the Hoovians are out there.
You beloved, you know. And they will
come for you. It's a beloved program is what I'm
trying to say. It's just, it's not for me.
There was some stuff in the tenant
world that I did like quite a bit.
I just never had the energy
to keep up with it. But Chris Ecclinson is fucking
awesome as the doctor. I'll only do it when it's
like BBC, which BBC America does quite often
where it's like 29 hours
of Doctor Who and it's just like five
episodes out of nowhere. You know what I mean?
Like I'll just, I'll watch like three episodes at once.
and be like, oh, that was fun, and then move on with my life.
Because some of it's, like, some really dark, crazy sci-fi shit, which is a lot of fun.
And then it's like, here's a fucking alien dancing with a candy cane, and I don't give his shit.
I kind of like that.
Like, it's got that X-Files thing where some of them are just goofy.
Like, my wife's a huge fan.
She went through the whole series, and I watched a lot of them, and I do kind of like that.
It's like, let's just think of ideas.
Yes.
And we can fix tones.
We can play around.
Like, there's no set focus.
She's even watched, like, those early seasons that were, like, directed,
by Georges Miliers.
I know, I think she was.
Dude, I love, I fucking love
looking at old pictures
of like original Doctor Who
and he looks like fucking Thomas Edison
in Vending a timeish.
Some Mernow years.
Yeah, that was great.
It is so fucking hilarious.
Doctor Who and Jackie Gleeson.
To the moon, Doctor Who?
Well, yes.
We're literally going to the fucking moon.
Who's on first?
well, that's actually a pretty abstract question
if you want to think of the many versions
of this world. Here's my message
for you, Andrew. When you've got the flu,
watch Doctor Who. Like, if you're sick
in bed and you're like, I just want
like 10 hours of something to get me through
through a season. Interesting.
It rhymes. That could be like
a recipe passed down
through the ages. Like, you're on your
flu, watch Doctor Who.
I'll dip back in them
the next time I'm gravely ill.
I've got very little who experience.
It's pretty much none.
Give that eclist in the season a shot, though, dude.
It's fucking cool.
All right.
So nanomites.
Yes.
This is the thing he's developed.
It's little robot maggots.
They're like nanobots.
Yeah, little robot germs.
Robot termites, I guess, because they eat things away.
Like, they eat metal away.
It's very important.
They can eat and disintegrate metal or whatever the shit is.
And like, he's at NATO and he's like, this is amazing because it'll cause mass destruction.
And everyone's like, yeah.
Do it!
And then they're transporting it,
and this is we get introduced to Duke,
played by Channing Tatum.
Ripcord by Marlon Wayans.
Yes.
And now I have to pause the conversation
because there is a fucking
a real turd
of a BS on the IMDB Tribune Trivia
Pings of this movie,
where this movie, some rocket scientist
slash IMDB contributor
decided to state that Marlon Wayans was given this role
due to his performance in Requiem for a dream.
Nine years earlier.
What are you talking about?
I would sooner believe that he got the role because of his role in Little Man.
Yeah, exactly.
Just as easily believe it, and it's just as dramatically, like, functional.
Because I think in both Little Man and this movie,
he's being carried on someone's back.
Yeah.
But there is that scene when they, uh,
They steal
Scarlet's TV
when him and Duke
steal a Starlet's TV
bringing up the boardwalk
and sell it for drug money.
I did forget about that.
Yeah.
They are crippling heroin addicts.
Remember a little man
when the little man
gets his hand cut off?
And Nick, it's a gold one.
Replace it.
Yeah, they're tasked with
transporting to this
maybe there's a safe house.
Yeah, there's a convoy.
They're transporting
these warheads.
Right.
And they're,
They're, like, best buds forever.
There's this thing where, like, Marlon Wayne's like, hey, man, I want to, we need to transfer
to the Air Force.
This is weird.
And Duke is like, well, no, man, I want to be on the ground.
We got to stay in the fight on the ground.
And I'm like, well, why don't you go to the Air Force and you stay on the ground?
Yeah, hey, Marlon Wayne's, why don't you just dictate your own career.
No, we're partners.
That's it.
That's that we're, I guess, cops that are military, but not MPs.
No, no, no, not those.
It's also bizarre, though, because it's like, Duke,
is totally shitting.
I'm like the Air Force.
Like,
those men and women
have important roles
and things also.
It's almost identical
to the Harry Connick Jr.
Will Smith thing
an Independence Day
where he's like,
I want to go to NASA
and he's like,
I never forget to NASA.
Just stay here and fly things
and I'm going to die soon.
I was surprised
Marlon Wayne's
makes it to this entire film,
actually.
I was pretty shocked.
To tell you the truth,
I was pretty shocked.
I think one of the Joe
should have been eaten by nanomites.
Yeah.
You've got this huge cast
And apparently in the next movie
Because of contract reasons
They killed everybody
But like just kill like one or two of the Joe's
Somebody doesn't make
Someone has a heroic end
You know what I mean
We just said that fucking cover girl dies
Oh that's right yeah
Is that her name?
Yeah cover girl does die
She does huge shit in this movie
So they get ambushed by Cobra
Led by Sienna Miller
Playing the Baroness
Right
Somebody man this is
I mean half this movie is about
Cosplay isn't it
It's just like
This is the character
character that I liked. This is
an actress playing the character
that I like. Well, you got the bad wigs for it.
Oh, yeah, you do. I think
Santa Miller's actually okay in this movie. She's
wearing a bad wig this entire time. Well, if you think about it,
like all of theater at its heart
his cosplay. That's true.
It's true. Cossumes and a
plate.
You're being shockingly
profound. Right? It's pretty
good. Is that what
happens at the end of that Kenneth
Brono William Shakespeare movie that's out
right now all is true
all is
cause fucking flush that movie
down the toilet
that trailer I fell asleep
that would did you
was it nice sleep
yeah I was a good dream
I mean like I agree with you
but like they don't do enough of it
yeah that's true doesn't get his fucking mask
for the last 20 minutes
butcher butcher cobra commander
in multiple ways
literally and figuratively
yes Joseph Gordon 11th's got like this gas mask on
and then towards the end of the movie
when he gets the face shield
it's fucking soft
Just give me a clear fucking face.
Give me that mirrored fucking finish.
Well, I think this one specifically
is they're doing an Anakin Skywalker
with the Darth Vader thing.
That's his look in this one.
In the second one, there are many points
better on the second one, retaliation.
But the first one is they do the look perfect.
The Coburner has a mirror.
In retaliation?
Yeah.
Holy Toledo.
They didn't want to do the cloaked helmet thing
that he sometimes wears with the isolates.
Because they're like, that looks too clan-ish.
Oh, like when he wore the bag over his head.
It's a blue clan mask without the point at the top.
Yeah.
That's what it's always been.
But the point is what really makes it a clan mask.
It's the point of the colors.
Yeah, I mean, at that point, yeah.
Yeah, and it's not like he's wearing red or white and blue.
Maybe he's like the good clan.
No, no such thing.
It's the union clan.
He's fighting for the union, but for some reason he's still raised.
Yes.
what I'm here is for better wages
and Medicare for
all. Why is everyone
looking? Yes, I'm dressed this way, but it's only
because I'm disfigured.
I'm going to put the cross on the yard, but I'm
not going to burn it.
I'm very religious.
I love the Lord.
We should actually, I was
I wanted to say this beginning, where does
everyone rank with G.I. Joe in general?
I think we've said that we've done a couple
animation damnations on G.I. Joe
and we've probably gotten through it.
I never grew up with it.
I had some of the toys in my house floating around.
I was always a little too young for it, I thought.
I was going to say, those toys were probably there
because you had an older brother.
Yeah, it was just, you know,
it was a fun thing to kind of look at,
but I didn't really watch the show growing up.
I didn't watch a show either,
but I definitely had some of the figures.
Sure, yeah.
Like, I remember liking just the size of them.
Yeah, and you could bend them a lot.
Yeah, I also think I was a little young for it.
I think I watched some of it somewhere,
but I was never that into it.
I had one figure, which was this badass dude, like a musly man, right?
They were all muslin.
And he had like a mustache, and he had like a, he had a weapon.
And a hat on.
Yeah, I think he had a hat.
You had a kung fu grip.
Now that you mentioned it, I think he had a hat.
But he also had like this weapon that looked like a, like a weed whacker.
And I was like, this guy's fucking cleaning up the yard.
Was he a gardener, dude?
He might have been.
Bear City 3, the gardener?
Yeah, I never
You know, crossed past with it
I always knew what it was
But I just never I never watched
I never watched the cartoon
Kind of became a memeish type of thing
In like the early 2000s
When they were doing
E bombs world had it
That's the moon
Oh you're totally right
Yeah
Although I will say another bit of history
With the GIGO franchise
Steve do you recall
When you and I tried to watch
GIO retaliation?
No, we tried to watch this movie
We stopped it
oh no I thought it was the second one
was it this one because the colon probably fucked you up
that's why no we tried to watch this when we stopped because of the
flashbacks I was bored to tears oh that's okay you're totally
right so it was this one then yes I have seen that second one though
because I remember being like horrified
at like the first 10 minutes of that movie
but I think so then yeah it was first of all it was a real
fucking green out situation sure but it was like you know a movie's bad
when you're greening out and you're bored yes
And we were like, these flashbacks are stupid.
That sequel, which we will talk about eventually on this show.
Oh, yeah.
You get a huge upgrade from Stephen Summers to John Chu of Crazy Rich Asians.
Much better director.
Much clear sense of vision.
Like, it's just a better movie.
I just remember the fucking mountain fight in that movie.
They're like fighting on the wall.
Really cool.
Back to the not as good movie.
So they get, it's an ambush.
Cobra said they have this cool, like, cool, in quotation marks.
It's an action figure plane that like zaps everybody.
You could feel them selling the toy set already.
And it's the Baroness, I think it's just her
and a bunch of soldiers and all these soldiers
are wiping out Channing Tatum's team.
Yeah.
And then he's like, oh, Anna?
Is that you, Anna?
And then she like looks at him.
Her special ability, by the way,
is she has like super duper transition lenses
kind of a thing?
Yeah.
It's like transition lenses in the not too distant future.
You can't forget that we're in the not too distant future.
Where do you get those?
I'm not telling you.
Come on, I have bad eyesight.
Are those lens crafters?
I don't want to be walking around with two different glasses.
Look, I've been screwed over by Wabby Parker twice now.
Walmart, is it Walmart?
Look, I'll go to Walmart if I must.
I ordered a giant, I ordered glasses, and they given me a giant lens I wear as a mask.
I've just gotten used to it, but I originally went in for glasses.
Nope, can't tell you. Sorry.
These are very special. These are my power.
So he's like, Anna is that used to? Everybody gets waxed.
The GI Joe's show up. Which Joe's show up here? Is it?
Jeff.
Heavy duty. Heavy duty.
Scarlet. I think Breakers there.
And Breakers there, yeah.
Heavy duty is played by Adibisi from Oz.
Oh, yes, that's right. Mr. Echo from Lost also.
And Breaker is the dude.
We just saw him as the elder in John Wick 3.
Oh, look at him. Yeah, there you go.
He's been a ton of other stuff.
And Scarlett is Rachel Nichols, who's just, you know, not ESPN's Rachel Nichols, but a different Rachel Nichols.
No, but this Richard Nichols, she was on some, like, sort of big sci-fi show.
Yes, yeah.
That was one of those classic sci-fi channels.
Canadian sci-fi lineups
I think that was
continuing was one of those programs
and they're like
hey congratulations you
were able to withstand that onslaught
give us that case of
stuff of nanites
and we're introduced to
the first of several
obnoxious holograms
these things suck
it's so you know what
Stephen Summers this was stupid
so many holograms
here's General Hawk
Dennis Quaid in the movie
he's there via hologram.
This movie, it's like
you're watching like a dude on the street
with like the cup game.
Yeah, and it's like try to guess
which one the ball's under.
This movie is like, try to guess
which one's the fucking hologram.
And then they also have the audacity
to drop it.
So much of the first part of this movie
is who's a hologram.
And then the second half, it's like, forget it.
There's no more hologram technology.
Just put them on speakerphone.
Stop this nonsense.
Just take out your little stupid smart
Listen, I can't.
No, no, you have to mute.
If your dog is going to bark during the conference call, you've got to mute.
Are you on mute?
Oh, God, damn it.
I'm trying to do my fucking cooking while I was doing this.
Heavy duty's got some weird line somewhere around here where he's like,
don't make me shoot a woman.
Yes, all right.
Come on, heavy duty.
You're a fucking Joe, man.
Blow her away.
Yeah, also, he's definitely shot.
a woman. Don't be playing with me your secret Eric Prince
fucking organization. Well that's a thing too is that's a good question
right like what is the legality of G.I. Joe's we don't know I mean well it's
it's a thing where when we get there Dennis quid's like fine come along
insurance and you know like that's it. And when they get there
the one thing you do realize which is I'm sure ruffled many feathers
in the jerk community what is that it's it's
multi-national.
It's not just an American thing anymore.
Because G.I. Joe is a real
American hero. This is a, like, there's like,
we don't, we don't answer to anybody.
It's, you know, we've got France involved.
We've got so and so. And so. Like his breakers
from French Morocco or whatever.
Oh, right, right, right, right. And of course,
Atabesi is English.
Yes. I always love when this actor gets to use his real accent
because he fucking sounds totally badass.
Great accent. Oh, yeah. We forgot his other
role as
crock. Oh, he is killer
crock. Oh, yeah, that's stunk.
This is got about that.
Adewel, Akanoi, Agbajee.
I know I butcher that, but that's
the man's name. That's why I call him
out of Bisi. I do my best, but I call
him out of Bisi. And
yeah, so we get
to their underground
in
Sahara Desert. It's under the
Sahara and Egypt. And I got to tell you, right
here, this is where I was like, what
ear was this movie made?
Because there was a shot of like the Joe plane flying over the desert and everything looks like a
fucking Wolf and the Stein game.
It looks at the fucking CGI right here is so bad.
It looked better in Stephen Summers the mummy.
That's my impression of one of the guards on Wolfenstein.
Like we walk into the room and say,
I don't know if I've ever brought this up before, but do you guys just talk about
Mine Fielo.
Die are I playing
him?
That Hitler in a mecksuit, could you imagine?
Speaking of Wofenstein,
is anyone familiar with
there was a Wulfenstein hack
back in the 90s, like a fan hack?
Uh-huh.
Wait, you can see this ding-dog?
No, where you were...
Mechanical ding-Ding-Dong?
Which one? Wait, with Hitler's or BJs?
Oh, yeah, both.
You were still Wolfenstein, but...
all of the
were wolf
and stuff
all the nazis
were Beavis and Butthead
what that sounds made up
I'll read the code tomorrow
no dude ask
ask my younger brother
about this
he will tell you
we had this
we had it was
I can only assume
that it was a hack
sure
you'd call it a hack now
right
like a mod
yeah a mod
yeah a mod
excuse me yes
it was definitely a mod
and it was Beavis and Budhead
running around
and you fucking shot them
to death. Wow. It was, I swear it was
in Castle Wolfenstein. All the levels and everything were the exact
same, but all the baddies were B was a mother. You know what? I'm putting it out to the
internet. Tell me Andrew's not a liar. I think he's a liar right now, but there's
enough people on the internet. Someone's going to have a screencast. If this doesn't exist, I
may have been abducted by aliens and have some fucking implanted memories because I've
played the shit out of it. How's Mulder's daughter do? It was
his sister and she's long dead.
Oh, they fucking killed her, dude?
She's dead, dude.
Samantha's dead.
The best Wolfenstein mod is when you could put Rosie O'Donnell instead of the Nazis.
I played it all the time.
First of all, I was very uncomfortable shooting Nazis in the first place.
So I was like, no thank you.
But wait, we could change it into Rosie.
Okay.
It was called Pig Out.
I don't like being the bad guy, so I didn't like shooting the Nazis.
So, yeah, we're in.
Here's a question. Do you think Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer would...
Did you say Nazi Pelosi? I love Nazi. Oh, wait, Nancy?
Do you think that they would at least introduce legislation, though, allowed Trump not to be in a mechanical mech suit with Gatling guns? Do you think that they would at least...
No. I guarantee you, if he loses or wins, he's coming out in a meck suit.
Yeah, I'm not a crook, and you're not full of hell.
Yeah, but he still has crippling hemorrhoids
So that fucking mech suits
Just kind of like trying to walk on the south lawn
It's a fucking toilet, dude
So he's like, yeah, I'm on a walking toilet
So what?
And Pelosi and Schumer are like, well, you know what?
Elections have to have consequences
Now he's in a mech suit.
That's it.
This is my Pacific Rim robot.
I call it money cash.
That would make a better Pacific Rim Zeguel
than what we got.
Speaking of, we get introduced to mexie.
suits in this movie. That's pretty
fucking stupid, huh? Oh, dude,
it's fucking stupid. So, like,
we, we learn about the G.I. Joe's.
They're an international group of so-and-so's.
I don't know who there is, who they're answering
to. Maybe NATO, maybe not.
Seems they've run through NATO and the president.
I think it's through the one world government.
Oh, yeah.
The G.I. Joe's,
what I call it, crisis actors.
Yeah, we're talking about
fucking Alex Jones having a heart attack during Geo storm.
He would die watching this.
Oh, for sure.
And the real globalist heroes.
First of all, they took a perfectly good game that, well, game, I mean, you know, the game of war, which is contained within G.I. Joe.
Perfectly good cartoon that used to be able to jerk off to like an American.
You see Baroness and you see those beefy cakes.
And now we got, what is this, ring around the rosy with the world here?
So many great characters like Snow Job aren't in this movie.
Oh, what's great?
The snow job, my favorite, my favorite G.I. Joe, he was known for spitting it back in your mouth.
Catch him in bed with a roadblock.
Yes, that's why I have this face mask to avoid snow job.
Let me add him, Duke. Let me add him.
You know, I was just committed G.I. Joe, love driving my snowmobile around, shoveling
driveways and next thing I know all these rumors got started about old snow job
Duke I can get him I'm gonna need your help first though
not with my face mask oh man it's just dripping down the face mask
that's why I had sold a windshield wiper oh nice you know that snow job just
love skiing hiking the forest and winter you know what guys I just love Christmas
where is all this coming from
what he said common
so yeah
but they're like all right
if you guys are going to be a GI Joe's
you're going to have to be trained in a matter
of time question mark yeah big
old question mark as to how long this training takes
and you cannot forget
I believe Dennis Quaid is the first
one to fucking strike this match
a couple of times in this movie we are definitely
saying knowing his half the battle
oh my God
you shut the fuck off
you can make that stupid you can make that stupid joke
once you really can at the
end of the movie, just like it came at the end of the cartoon show.
Well, they do that a lot with, like, I was watching old, like, advertisements for G.I. Joe's stuff.
A lot of the little pieces of, like, the copy for those are scattered within the script.
Well, they have Marlon Wayne's, first of all, speaking of, when he's in the plane, like, after, well, they're transporting him from the battle site to G.I. Joe headquarters, Scarlett gives him some morphine or something.
Right.
She puts it right in his arm
And he goes, that's the good shit
And I'm like, oh, so he was cast for
But then he's like, yeah, man, I got that kung fu grip
And I've got, I got life-like hair
Even to life-like hair
He says it to Adabisi
Because he's high on whatever the fuck
And he's like, oh man, you got that life-like hair
And Adabizi grabs his arm
He's like, ooh, and you got that kung-foo grip
Stupid city
Holy shit, dude
So we cut back between that
And we're, it's fucking
It's Christopher Eccleson on like a spaceship or, no, I'm sorry, he's in a submarine somewhere.
Which you think for the entire scene is a plane until it's a submarine.
And you think he's talking to be. Storm Shadow is here. This is, um, uh, just the other guy there.
Oh, the other guy? Li, Biong Yo. Biong-Hun-Lee. Yeah.
Is this the-al-and-it's the dude from, uh, fucking I saw the devil.
If you have not seen I saw the devil, this man is,
fucking awesome in that movie. It's this like
Korean horror
movie slash like hitman movie.
It fucking rules.
He's also, he's been with that director a lot
that Kim Jiwon
because he also did a different life
and then he came over here and I forget. He was in
something really recently, something
relatively bad. G. I. Joe. Well, yes.
Is he a guy dressed in white in this?
Yes. Yes. Young Hunley, Storm Shadow.
Who is now supposedly
brother or raised
with snake eyes?
Is that the character's name?
And he's a silent warrior with swords.
And he was in the first scene too.
He was with Scarlet and those guys.
And it's a pretty good like, you know,
what we would have called there,
like photrealistic to the character.
It's good cosplay, except for the lips.
What are we doing with this mouth?
What are we doing with those lips?
It's weird.
It's very weird.
Oh, he's in red too, Cabin.
Yes.
All right.
Now, back to lips.
Now, where they just like,
no lips? Was it just like
a plastic sheet? I think he was like a ninja guy.
He was just a ninja there was a fucking ninja mask. And in the second one
he doesn't have the lips anymore. Yeah, well that's
I don't think Ray Park demanded those lips. He might have.
Ray Park or a friend, uh, Darryl. Oh, is he portrayed? Yes, he is.
Oh, wow. Yeah, he's snake eyes dude.
Lip eyes. I just don't like somebody. They're for
kissing, Steve. I feel like somebody, yeah, somebody drew like snake eyes in the
perfect way and like, all right, this is to be the costume. And this is like,
Well, where are the lips?
And everyone's like, wait, what?
I mean, he's going to have lips.
I mean, what are we doing?
We're making G.
I know, they talk about his, like, vow of silence,
so I bet, like, it'll, you know,
it'll make the vow of silence a little more profound
if you could see the lips that he's now using it.
Like, you could see,
he could probably use those lips,
but he's not using those lips.
It'd be great if he had a lip ring.
I mean, if we're going to do it, let's do it.
Bad Snake eyes.
If he had a lip ring.
He'd be in a new metal band.
I was going to say every, well, yeah, every time you saw him,
it would have to be like maybe new metal or like,
but on, but down, but now, but not enough of that kind of music in this movie.
It should be riddled with it.
Either that or Skinnered.
Fucking pick away.
Sorry, I'm a little sick and that got me.
That's all right.
And so, yeah, Destro is like, all right, we need to.
Destro?
Destro, yeah.
Isn't he just McCallon?
McCallon.
For now.
He doesn't become Destro until the end.
That's true.
Yeah, he wants Snow Job gets him.
You know, again, guys, I'm a fan of hockey.
I don't understand how all of a sudden all these things about me snowball and spunk.
It's just me, snow job.
I just live in Maine.
That's just the whole thing.
I'm like the out of doors.
Contrary to what you may have heard, I didn't spit so much spunk inside of Destro's mouth that have destroyed it.
And they had to pump it out.
That did not happen.
And that's not why he's Destro.
That's not what's on his face.
Everybody thinks that's what's on his face.
That is actual silver.
By the way, again, another six-sad rumor about old snow job.
I don't even know how this one's related.
But no, I've never had any ribs removed to suck my own penis.
I think that was Ripcourt, who started that one.
You know, guys, if I can, if I can just get in here really quick,
if we're airing grievances, yes.
This is Rimjob.
I love basketball.
That's all it is.
Rim job loves basketball.
I don't go in the anus
to do whatever everyone is saying
all around the locker room.
Rim job loves basketball
and taking it to the hoop.
I heard you were dunking with that tongue.
No, it's basketball.
Rim job loves basketball.
And I donkey punch.
I just like punching donkeys.
I'm doing a donkey punch.
I'm a proud animal abuser.
That's the toughest farmer you're talking to in the entire United States.
That's why we had to draft him into G.I. Joe.
And Joe Hawk, just be lucky.
Just be lucky.
It's Hawk.
I'm just called Comshot, which is C-O-M-E.
Because when I show up, I'm here to shoot.
I shoot the bad guys.
I'm Com-Shod.
Yeah, it's me.
Favorite G.
Joe, right?
Rusty trombone.
And let me just tell you,
it's because I'm a musician
who has a very old instrument
passed down from generations.
Yeah, I'm Cleveland Steamer.
And yes, I do enjoy
eating feces.
That's how it's just gonna be,
man.
So whatever.
He's like, you know, you have to
go get these nanites tomorrow.
The Baroness goes back to her
castle. She's got like a husband.
It's a bunch of nonsense.
What's this guy's name?
marrying Cobretti
This guy's like
Cobre something
This the Baron
Because the Baroness is married
To Baron de Cobre
Oh okay
That's a fun
Which is stupid
Because this man is in no way
Affiliated
No he's a good guy
I'm not a good guy
But he's an innocent
Bystander for the most part
He's just this innocent
fucking Frenchman
That gets butchered
It's funny thing where he's like
Where have you been for two weeks
And she's like
I've been out
And he's like
Okay
done deal
we still have sex occasionally
alright I'll see you later
it's kind of an Anne Hathaway
Italian con man wedding they've got going on
there's the other way around
man some things you just
never live down like being
married to a con man
and Storm Shadows like whatever he's around
we meet Cobra Commander
who's actually you find out all these
Cobra soldiers
because we're not saying Cobra at all this because
Cobra doesn't exist yet
Well, it's the rise of Cobra.
It's a Rex commander.
We got to charm Cobra first.
All of these cobra soldiers are, you know, actually mind controlled by him through these nanites and all this stuff.
And this dude is just, he goes by the doctor.
We get his whole flipping backstory throughout this movie.
Don't even worry about it.
But this is Joseph Gordon Levitt.
Yeah, it's kind of like a fucking Darth Vader without the helmet on situation here.
He's got like a wig.
which Darth Vader did not wear, sadly.
Maybe he should have considered it.
I think so, you know, right?
Get those peepers out there, walk around.
Totally.
See through his own eyes for a little bit
because it's really just a breathing problem
like Cobra Commander has.
And yeah, he puts in those nanomites.
My asthma.
He puts in those nanomites
into all these soldiers.
And it takes away like their fear
and like he demonstrates
that this one could be bitten by a king cobra.
Oh.
And like the fucking little robots in his bloodstream
And like, get out of here, venom, pushes the venom out of his body.
Oh, right, that's pretty dumb.
That's the stupidest part because I'm like, oh, that's really impressive.
Does it do it?
Like, if I get shot in the face, does it reconstruct my face?
No.
Okay.
If it straddles you, does it make the airwaves come out?
No, but it can turn your face into a rotten pumpkin, which is pretty cool.
Yeah, there's some Halloween three shit at the end of this movie.
I like it.
And then rounding out the cast as.
Zartan is somebody's name I always
get wrong so I'm going to go to the internet to let me know
Arnold Voslou
Arnold Voslou thank you
How are you always fucking up Arnold Voslou?
You could have just asked us
Yeah I always say Voslou
No it's Voslou
Yeah you just got to look at where the letters are
Yeah you didn't have to put a gun to that kid's head
and make him say it like that
Yeah where did you get that little peasant child
Get out of here
This kid smells
Why won't I go why can't you take me back to
my mother just saying the name did.
Please, Papa Steven.
No, who played the mummy?
Who played the mummy?
Arnold Baslu.
So he was in the mommy, and he was also in those
Darkman sequels. Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
Taking over the role for Liam Nees.
And he's in our favorite hard target, man.
Oh, yeah.
He's awesome.
Fuck, I forgot about that.
He's actually kind of awesome in this.
Not enough Vaslu.
Like, he's having fun, I think.
Yeah, it's one of those, like, witty,
get a load of him in the sequel kind of thing.
Like this movie secretly spends
the entire time setting up the sequel
which I don't appreciate.
Tartan's like a shapeshifter or something.
Well that's the Vassu is like
master of disguise. His whole thing
is to set up the twist.
Yeah. That's the whole point of his character.
Like he kills a few people fine.
Which the twist you see coming 45 minutes
before the movie ends.
Yes. Yes. Um, so we get
this is, so they're introduced to these mech suits
and shit. We get this training.
Accelerator chute
Accelerator
They can go faster and stronger and stuff
That's what
If you know
If they made a live action
Mega Man it would look like that
And it would suck
Yep totally
And then a bunch of people
Would fucking bitch about it
On the internet
And then the director would apologize
And say they were going back
To the drawing board six months
Before the movie came out
I feel like these franchise movies
Are gonna end at Sepaku at some point
Somewhere it's like well
Or at least like somebody's
Have to cut their finger off
Yep totally
You made Sonic have weird teeth
Cut your finger off.
I got to tell you,
I don't appreciate this back
to the drawing board
with Sonic the hedgehog.
You made it, stand by it,
fuck the internet.
First of all,
I wanted to see that bad movie.
I still will see that bad movie.
But I also think it's a bad precedent.
Just in general,
I actually,
it's one of those things
where it's like,
I don't care one way or another
and I actually think it looked heinous
and maybe they can make it look better,
but I would rather them not do it
and set the precedent.
Stop letting whiny piss babies
fucking dictate what you're doing.
Do you think that's going to fix it?
You're going to take the teeth out and that's going to be the thing that's get it?
They're going to rip Sonic's teeth out.
Is it safe?
Is it safe?
Sonic the hedgehog?
The only thing they're going to do is make his head bigger.
Yeah.
Who gives a shit?
Well, there's only so much you can do because all that footage exists.
You got to like, yeah.
I just put the movie out and let us make fun of it.
Please.
Where so
Oh no
This montage of training
And this is like
We're bringing the fucking Stephen
Summers All-Stars dude
For no reason
The dude running the training
In this movie is Brendan Fraser
And like just have Brendan Fraser
Be in this movie
I don't get this
Please
When I saw him introduced
I was like
All right
They're rounding out the cast
Okay
Yep
And it's just like
And then like
I'm like watching the movie
And it's almost done
I'm like
What happened to him?
It's just to make you be like
Hey
you remember the mummy
same guy
well it makes really no sense
because the fucking character
is supposed to be sergeant Slaughter
is the guy who trains the Joes
in the original show
and at least if the Tribune trivia
is to be believed
Sargent Slaughter wanted to be in this movie
and they couldn't like clear legal shit
like come on man
if you can get the rest of these Joe's
well Sarge Slaughter was this weird thing
who existed in two worlds
because like he was a cartoon character
that also wrestled
as a wrestler
so like Vince McMahon had money in
and Hasbro had money in it
so that's why it's like
I feel like you gotta call him
like Sergeant Payne or something
and Brendan Fraser
as Sergeant Payne
no you get a Damon Wayans
to be
oh major right
man that movie
fucking sucks
I think it would be no less than a hundred times
it's one of those things where
not only is it a bad movie
it's an annoying
oh absolutely
it's gotta be
annoying movie
but that's what it's made for
it's made to be annoying.
For the babies.
For the babies.
What else happens to this montage?
I mean, so, like, it's a montage.
We start getting flashbacks to like...
Oh, this, our first flashback is here.
Because they're all fucking friends, dude.
Are you kidding me with this?
I think this is, yeah, this is when we stopped watching.
I'm not going to watch the rest of this.
I mean, this is so fucking stupid.
We realize that so the baroness...
Yes.
What's her name, Anne?
Anna.
Anna.
was at one point betrothed to Channing Tatum, Duke, as it were.
We see their proposal scene.
And oh, here's Anna's brother.
Oh, what's that?
Her brother, Rex, played by Joseph Gordon Levitt, the Cobra Commander himself.
What?
Well, first they're doing the Chattanooga Choochoochoochooch.
Oh, with the swing music.
And, like, 2015.
They're going off to World War II.
fucking First Avengers next to him.
It's so fucking stupid.
Channing Tatum, who is a great dancer,
is doing, I wish,
I hope, in my heart of hearts,
is intentionally bad dancing
because this is some bad dancing
that he's doing right here.
You think Stephen Summer stopped him?
No, you're doing it wrong.
Dance like this.
He does like the Elaine dancer.
He's the Summer's shuffle.
He's doing his own dance
choreography. No. Dance
like this. No channing.
More little kicks. More
little kicks and slower. That's it.
You know, we're going to shut it down.
We're going to watch sweating to the oldies.
And he proposes to her and
she's like, oh, this is awesome. I'll get
married to you on one condition. You bring
my little brother home on this
next mission you guys are going on. And
like Marlon Wayans also runs in
and he's just like, oh, did you
propose? Well, you can't get
married until you answer me these questions
three, whatever fucking Harry Conning
Jr. horseshits going on here.
It's so obnoxious
that they make them all know each other.
It's really bad. And during the training
montage, I think it's out of B.C.
who says, we've got
to get you trained, Joe style.
Which is either the most boring or the most
disgusting sense.
Yeah, I think it's a fucking sloppy
dude. You took it right out of my
mouth, man. I was going to
lay down some slop.
you do this Joe style
I will say about the training
and like it's kind of weird
because 2009 was a more innocent time
like it's before Hollywood got
the Bain serum like if you look at the bodies
in this movie like they're just kind of
built dudes they're not like that super
weird cut Marvel Captain America
like shizzled of the gods
kind of a six pack took over you had to see
it yes yeah like this there's you
they're definitely cut
I mean they look great it's fucking Channing Tatum
Yeah, ha-cha-cha-cha.
But, yeah, you don't, like, he's not cut up like that.
Yeah, so then it's not the shredded thing.
Like, you never had, there was never a fucking story about, like, Marlon Wayans
gained 20 pounds of muscle to be in J.I. Joe, Rise of the Cobra.
No, it was Arnold Vossel who gained 20 pounds of fat, and they removed his shirtless scene.
They just put a shirt on Arnold. He didn't do it.
Arnold didn't show up in shape you guys.
We're going to cut the sex scene.
The worst part of this montage, I have to say, is they are playing a rap remix of Banga Gong by T.Rex.
Oh, dude, get the fuck out of town.
This song sucks.
And it's a white rapper.
Because T.Rex is amazing.
Yes, this version is terrible.
It's this what you should really look there.
There's a video for this song.
It's not connected to G.I. Joe, but it's just like the most, like, Paul Giamati as a rapper with, like, these very, like, lazy dancers in the background going like,
and this is so bad
I highly recommend it
You got a name on this
London bus stop
Okay
Stop it
London bus stop
Is that a G.I. Joe?
Listen, I just
No, I
That's where
That's just what I like to go
On London buses
No nothing happened
At those bus stops
I'm not even British
I never jerked nothing at a bus stop
All right
I pay the fare with money
Just like everyone else
I've heard about your Kung Fu grip
This dude
So Storm Shadow and the Baroness break into the Joe compound
Because something something tracking device
They're able to fucking get in there
All hell breaks loose
Big fucking fight scene here
It kind of feels like the end of the movie
Because everyone's like everyone's like paired up
fighting each other
This particular because we're fighting in a headquarters
Like this totally feels like the final act
of the Hank Scorpio Simpson's episode
and it's just like
oh yeah fucking oh hey tank
feel free to kill somebody on the way out
and that's another
like a connection with Kingsman is like
Matthew Vaughn was like I wanted
to do a Bond movie so I did Kingsman
Stephen Summer's like I want to do a bond movie
so I did G.I. Joe.
Yeah. Is that real? It's definitely a Bond
hangout because he's like oh I always want to do
this is the closest I'm going to get to do a bond movie.
That's insane and that's also sad
It's kind of really sad.
The funniest part about this whole break-in scene is it's General Hawk in his office.
And speaking of fucking cover girl, oh no.
Well, yeah, cover girl's in the scene right here.
But speaking of fucking hot old jazz music, dude,
he's just listening to some fucking herky jerky shuffle shit.
It's like, what are you talking about?
It's 2009.
It's Hawk Time, dude.
That's what he does in Hawk Time.
well it's in the not too distant future where all this shit comes back oh so it's kind of like when swing music was back in the fashion duke ellington slaps uh yeah zartan shows up he kills cover girl and fucking impaled and this impalment was when i was first like oh this isn't really for kids this is for the people who were kids when that cartoon came out like the trans but at least the transformers movies which are terrible they balance it a little better i yes i think it's a
too. Yeah. And
I don't know. Zartan like cuts up
a hawk's stomach and then puts
his face up against a graph
up against like an eye scanner
to get the thing. Just cut fucking
Hawks hat off. That's it, dude. Let's kill that.
I was waiting for him to like
turn into Hawk or like
impersonate Dennis Quay, you know.
Well, I feel like Dennis Quaid was like, can I be out of this movie?
How about you killed? What if Hawk died
right here? Wouldn't that be a nice
twist for the audience? Again, another
Tribune trivia. Really? A sweet fucking
Nug was that
Stephen Summers and the
production, you know, the producers
or whatever, like loved Dennis Quaid so much
as Hawk that they wrote, according to
the Tribune trivia, an additional 10 to
15 scenes. Jesus.
So this really, if you're to be believing
the internet, was like supposed to be a fucking
cameo. Yeah, Stephen, I'm
glad to still be here, but I'm
sitting down. That's going to
be the thing, I have to sit down.
And I think, no, I think you're right, Kevin, because if you
look at what he does for the rest of this movie,
it is just him yelling from the same command center
for the rest of the film. He's in a wheelchair.
He's literally in a wheelchair. He is even
in a wheelchair at one point. That's true.
So it's a big fight. Storm Shadow and
Snake Eyes meet up and
this is where it's a hello brother. And you know, I think
this is where we turned it off because this was like
a, oh, there's another one.
Another set of flashbacks, but I will say
it happens a couple times because it's like a flashback
thread. Every time like
are you got to be kidding me with these Storm Shadow
flashbacks? But then too
little kids start fighting to the death
and I'm like, say
I noticed the same thing. Dude, I was like,
these are two little kids doing like John Wick
fighting and this is not half
bad. Listen, one kid hits
another kid in the face with a frying pan.
That's kind of cool. They're fighting to the
death. They're children fighting to the death.
The fucking, you know, little rascals
never did that. Take that. R gang.
Why doesn't fucking spanky, fucking take
alfalfa's face and shove it on the stove?
This is just us teeing up our R-rated
franchise kid fight.
Yeah, dude,
would be huge.
Lots of blood, lots of beheadings.
Wasn't that kind of what kick ass was
supposed to be?
It's like, look, it's a little kid doing
things.
No, but they fight each other.
Oh, it should be, yeah, it's not like a kid
fighting an adult.
It's just two kids fighting to the death?
To the death, absolutely.
Yeah, it's not like, three ninjas where it's like,
oop, we knocked someone in the older
guy and the nerds in high five.
Oh, oh, Hulk Heldon fell off of Mega Mountain.
It's like these kids are like, there's a stove
involved. He's like trying to get his face
of the fire.
I'm like, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's fantastic.
I love seeing kids almost die.
More like a battle royale type situation.
Yeah, definitely.
And the soundtrack is definitely filled with bonob,
bonop,
because it's just matrix fighting.
It would be awesome.
So they get away with the device or whatever,
and they're going to go to Paris is the idea.
We got to get to Paris, man.
This is where this whole, like,
terrorist attack is going to happen.
Like, let's flash forward to a lot of the movie here.
We're in Paris.
And the whole thing is like,
It's one of those, like, Chris Oliver Ackleson is like,
we got to show them what the device can do.
And then they're going to come to the most powerful man in the world
and beg for mercy or whatever.
Something, something, something.
We got to go to the French because they offended the clan McCullen.
And this is the scene where it's like, hey, remember that dumbass thing from the beginning?
Well, this justifies it.
No, it doesn't, Stephen Summers.
It just, just don't have it in the movie.
It just doesn't even matter.
It just, again, the Hank Scorpio line.
and nobody ever says Italy.
Like that's, just do that.
Just do, we're going to Paris.
We don't need a fucking hundreds-year-old reason why.
And I guess, is this like a bond thing?
It's like, oh, I'm a villain arms dealer
and I'm going to blow up something.
And then everyone's going to flock to me to try to get the,
listen, buddy, didn't work for Osama bin Laden.
Not going to work for you.
Agreed.
So this is what we finally get the max suits.
Everybody gets into their max suits.
We're running through the streets of Paris.
or Czechoslovakia more aptly
and Baroness
kills her husband at this point
who cares
Oh right, he's the scientist
that weaponizes these little
rockets or whatever
It's the Baroness and Storm Shadow
They're in a car
They're trying to get to the Empire Tower
Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower
I'm an ugly American
And they're trying to get there
And then like
Snake Eyes is on the car
There's some fighting going on
it's an okay action sequence sure i mean it's just those lips though like i can't look away that's
your brother right someone needs to at least try to kiss it you know like try to kiss those lips yeah exactly
just be like i know there's still humanity in you you rub the face down like little face off rub and then
you go and then see if it sparks any emotion in him where he can actually talk again and be a real
He finally says, like, please stop kissing me.
I would love it if it...
I've had a vow of silence for 25 years, but please stop kissing me.
I would love it if it just at the very end, like, he's at the cafeteria,
he just opens, and those are his actual lips.
And he's just like an alien.
Oh, yeah, he's just like eating an apple with those fucking weird lips.
That would be so horrific.
Which just looks like a horse.
Well, don't they...
Because Marlon Wayans sort of towards the beginning of the film is trying to flirt with...
Scarlet.
scarlet there
and don't they make something
about like snake eyes
kind of has the hots
for Scarlett a little bit
it's something like right at the beginning
she has a thing for snake eyes
so that should have been the move
well she's also a weird
has a thing for her
yes yeah
and she's also a weird sociopath too
because she's like
I don't have emotions
it's like shit dude
well I guess if you're a G.I. Joe
and you're killing people every day
yeah you can't dude
you gotta be totally turned off
well
Marla Wayne's a rip cord
is doing the classic
I don't quit
until you sleep with me
which is very charming
well that's not bothering
I was going to say
in some circles dude
it's known as the Steve Urkel
I'm wearing her down
yep and now she has got
no emotions
congratulations
so this warhead is weaponized
the baroness's
baron is murdered
by Storm Shadow
they're running through the streets
they're like jumping through trains
and stuff.
And we got these super suits on.
Channing Tatum and Marlon Wayans have these super suits on.
I will say this is the closest to an exciting
and interesting action sequence this movie has.
It's the best action sequence in the movie.
I would say so.
I guess it is.
It's sad to say that.
I was thinking like, no, it's not.
I can't name anything else.
It's definitely better than the lightsaber battle at the end.
Yeah.
That's pretty dumb.
Yeah.
Somewhere around here, there's,
dude, this movie is flashback crazy, dude.
There's just this quick pop and it goes
East Africa, four years.
years earlier and you see Channing Tatum and JGL are on some mission and it's like all right
Joseph Gordon Levitt Rex you're the fucking science officer run into that building and fucking
hack the planet or whatever's going on and he's like you got to move quick because I called in
this air strike blibbitty blow JGL runs in the air strike is early they fucking bomb this
building well JGL should be like so what why don't you give me like a two minute head start and then
called the airstrike. How about I go in there?
Yeah. Yeah. Don't, don't
fucking rely on them
to time it. You already
called them? How can
you call them back and say
stop? Yeah, call it off. Exactly right
Kevin. Call it off. I'll go in. I'll do
the computer thing. And then when you see
me step foot out, you call that airstrike.
I might meet Kevin J. O'Connor in there.
I don't know what's going to happen. Just
fucking call it off. Man,
man, dude, chill factors
Kevin J. O'Connor. But he meets.
It's like a guy called Dr. Mindbender.
That's Kevin J. O'Connor.
Oh, okay.
He's also from the mummy.
Oh, no, he's from Deep Prize.
He's in the mummy, too.
He's a Stephen Summers bud.
And he plays Igor in.
Fan Helsing.
Wow, that sucks.
But Dr. Mindbender, by the way,
this episode is the movie, but who cares?
But I looked up the Wikipedia page for Dr.
Mindbender.
You know what his backstory is?
No.
No.
He was an orthodontist that was working on, and he's a good guy, regular guy.
He's trying to work on, like, dental pain reduction.
But then he was spitting it back in their mouth.
No, but in doing so, he accidentally created a mind control device and made himself evil and crazy.
Wow, what a flub.
So he's the riddler.
Yeah.
But, like, that's the thing.
It's like, is it so bad to be evil and crazy?
Right.
Hey, man, if it pays.
If it pays, dude
You know, I'm kind of glad
We're done with Joseph Gordon Leavitt as a society, right?
We had that time and it all ended.
Well, I think it's just one of those things like Zach Galefinaque
He was in 10 movies in four years
And he's just got to take a break.
Is that it?
He's coming back, I think.
Ten movies in four years that all sucked.
Yeah, everybody was like, dude, Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Just pen the Oscar for him, dude.
He's going to get it.
He's going to do it.
I mean, 500 days of summer is a real crazy.
Creep Fest.
Don John is awful.
Oh, I never watched it.
I like Inception is fun. I like them in Darknet
Rising. Sure. But like
as a lead, like his lead
movies have always sucked.
Looper is okay. Oh, I guess that's one
Yeah. Looper, I was a hair away
from turning off. What do you guys think of Snowden?
I'm a Muppet voice
on Snowden. Big shrug.
Yeah, that movie. Big old shrug.
It was one of those movies.
I watched it and I was like, that's a good movie.
And then the second I left the screening room, I never
thought about it again. Well, you know what that is? It's that Oliver
Stone thing. You want him to be good again.
And you're like, God, like, I found myself
almost like excusing parts of
savages. Oh, really?
That fucking weird drug cartel movie. I was
trying so hard. What was that
GGL 50-50,
him and Seth Rogan, the cancer comedy?
I'm not crazy about that one either. Oh, you know,
it's a good JGL movie? And it's like
he's kind of sharing the top bill
is the night before.
Yeah, that's not bad. Him, Seth Rogan,
Anthony Mackey. That's a funny movie.
Michael Shannon.
steals that movie absolutely hey i stole your movie hip hip hip
you're just trying to get it back now see how tall i am seth come on
come up here and get it jump buddy jump up here and get your movie
so channing tatum hits the kill switch on this thing
well they shoot at the eiffel tower and it starts to collapse
yeah it does collapse it's been eaten by the mites right the little mites are
eating it and not only does that
it is very cartoonian
it's like when there's a bunch of bees in it
in a cartoon they form into an arrow
and stuff. Yeah, it does remind me
of that. It's a weird thing where like this
the nanobots
or whatever can like hop
onto all sorts of metal. So you see it like
getting on different cars and stuff and it's like
oh, the whole city's going to be decimated
unless we hit this kill switch with
Channing Tatum hits. But he gets
abducted by the cobras. Right.
Or the not, the as of yet
unnamed cobras. The unnamed cobras
he's abducted by them.
The rest of the Joes get arrested.
I don't need this movie to stop dead for two seconds with them getting arrested,
only to be turned around and saved by Dennis Quaid in the very next scene.
He's like, all right, Joe's.
You can't go to Paris ever again.
Breakers freaking out about this.
Everybody else doesn't care.
By the way, my name is Hawk because I have feathers underneath my clothing.
Oh, that'd be amazing if he was like a bird creature.
That'd be so cool if it like came out of the end of the movie.
just like yeah i got you hawks here and he turns into a bird oh it's just dude shake your tail
feathers it's like a giant it's a big bird but with dennis quade's head i had to shave down
the beak he flies in and saves like the polar ice cap or whatever the fuck at the end of this
movie he holds on to uh channington it with his big talons yeah i like it i like it throws him into
the garbage and who's in there but oscar the grouch oh shit dude the most popular jie
i joe all right look i know i got the nickname in the joe's trash fucker and that's just a big
misunderstanding oh my god i was just caressing the trash and yeah uh just to be clear uh raw dog
loves condoms i love i always use condoms i always do raw dog wraps it up i just eat cold hot dogs
right out of the package.
And listen, deep throats
just an informant
during the Nixon Watergate.
It's not an actual throat
fucking.
Look, like, I know facial
sounds bad, but I actually just
can change my face. I'm like the chameleon.
The chameleon
was already taken, so I had to go
with facial.
So whatever, we finally
go to fucking cobras under underwater and here's the thing you got to pick one you can have an
arctic base yep or an underwater base yep you can't have an underwater arctic base fuck you
movie yeah i can't even believe it's stephen summers what a flub again way to pull of summers
this whole thing was giving me a lot of like sea lab 2021 yeah a lot of that yeah cut to fucking
nato no look we can't find out where cobra and destro are there's just incredible energy being used
up at the North Pole.
Yeah, I don't know where it could become.
It's like more than a city.
It's, look, Mr. President, it's either Cobra's secret base or Santa Claus is working
overtime.
We can't figure it out.
We can't get eyes on it.
It's either Cobra has a secret base or there's global warming that's escalating the melting
of this ice cap.
You know, there could be, I guess, a secret base pumping out exhaust under it.
It's exactly the same amount of energy as the G.I. Joe base, but it's evil energy.
So I don't know what, uh, I don't know what's going on.
on here. Listen, this is a
green station, everyone.
Oh, I like that.
Fucking puff puff past, dude.
No, low flow
toilets. And
waterless urinals.
That's right. How
disgusting does that
sound. Think about how
disgusting it sounds.
The reality is
ten times worse, and
we're composting.
Jesus, you know, boss, there's all these solar
panels on the polar ice caps.
I think somebody's using it
down there. I don't know, man.
We shit in buckets
and throw it on the garden.
Did you call me? Oh, wait, no, I'm
G.I. Shit bucket.
It's
exactly what you think it's for.
G.I.
That got me.
It's
one time of college.
We'll do it, shit bucket.
They can't do it on command
All right, fuck, let's do some shots
And then we'll do it everybody's watching
Who threw out these eggshells
They go in the compass
Execute him
Oh somewhere around here
There's another fucking dip shit flashback
Where snake eyes
And Storm Shadow
Storm Shadow murders
Their master
This dude that's like been raising
Slash training them
and just kind of runs away
that's just a great detail to have
it's like I really don't care
nobody cares two swordsmen
fighting guess what I'm there
I'm on board exactly it's cooler
if you don't know the beef
exactly it's way cool if you don't know
the beef but I also I don't know I
again the little kids fighting I also like this
actor who plays the master if you look at his
filmography from the years
1980 to like
I bet it's fucking awesome it's just the best
shitty white guy karate
movies like he's in all of them do really
let me just pull up is he an American
Shaolin no he's actually in samurai cop
though
Gerald Okomura yeah this guy rules
he's in
let me pull it up
a ninja academy
time burst the final alliance
karate wars 9 and a half
ninjas show down a little
Tokyo capital punishment
the master demon deadly bet
Rapid Fire, American Street Fighter,
I want to watch all these movies.
I want to stop talking and watch all of these movies.
The little kid who plays snake eyes
looks like he grows up to be Zach Braff.
Yeah, he does.
It's really, it's kind of bad.
Yeah, I'm a murderous ninja training now,
but when I grow up,
I'm going to fucking love the band Snow Patrol.
And I'm going to be a canceled show about a podcast.
Let's just put down the sores and yell into this pit in New Jersey.
All right?
Come on, Storm Shadow.
Let's do it.
So Dr. Rex is going to turn Duke
into one of the mindless
cobra zombies that he's got going on here.
And you find out the baroness has been a cobra zombie
the whole time.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, that's why she's crooked.
She's crooked against her own will.
Because he's like, who are?
For some reason, he's like, who are you to this doctor?
I wouldn't ask that.
I'd be like, oh, you're a gross old dude or something.
But he pulls up, he's like, you want to know who I am?
And he's not doing exactly the cobra commander voice.
it's a little different.
It gets more Cobra Commandery
when he gets the fucking dumb mask
at the end of the movie.
He's like, you want to know who I am?
It's me, Rex.
And he takes his mask off.
He looks disgusting.
He pulls the wig off,
which is hilarious.
Like, why even have the wig?
Yeah.
You just have to have confidence in yourself, man.
Exactly.
Also, if you're going to have a wig,
how about something that's not a bad Halloween costume?
Yeah.
Like something you spent
more than $5 on at Party City.
It looks terrible.
This wig looks terrible.
How big of a budget do you think I have?
It's November 1st, and we're going to Party City.
Time to buy a week, a year's worth of wigs.
Halloween discount time.
Destro, look at this.
I could be Freddie Kruger this year.
Do you see this sea lab?
It's like minnesota size.
Yes, no, and I cannot...
No, I'm not going to buy a beetle juice wig.
That's too expensive.
I'm going to buy the off-brand one, surly ghost.
The surly ghost costume.
Think about it, surly ghost, surly ghost, surly ghost.
Now I'm here.
Now I'm the surly ghost with the most.
Yes, it's me off-brand Beatles guys.
And I'm not, no, no Jason Vohy's.
It's New Jersey Killer Man.
Hockey,
mask style.
As opposed to the other New Jersey killer man
that is not hockey style.
That's just a generic New Jersey guy.
It's got a track suit.
Forget about this pinhead costume.
It's me, Spikey Face.
Discount Halloween monsters.
Someone say my name of I'm G.I. Spikey face.
That's because I'm awesome in volleyball
and I'll spike you right in your face.
not Freddie Kruger
the pizza with the cheese
slid off face
so they launched
these fucking missiles man
it's these the missiles that have
these warheads in them they're bound for three
cities
Washington DC Beijing and a third one
and Moscow
we wanted to save Moscow
and not only that
that's the one that gets shot down
first it's like yeah yeah let that
Washington DC nuclear weapons
stay in the
a little longer. Let's get Moscow's weapon down first. And there's some like giant G. Ijo
submarine floating around, which leads to what I think is one of the best slash dumbest lines of
the movie. Oh, please. When Dennis Quaid just yells out, deploy the sharks. Oh, yes. I laugh.
And all these like submarine planes fly out. And that's what is weird. Like a lot of this final underwater
sequence or whatever
is just that battle
from Aquaman
yeah yeah
if done worse
if done
yeah
much less colorful and cool
yeah
it's all this muddy
and nonsensical
and yeah like
Channing Tatum
like is really
upset because
like also it's really
here's the thing
you want to be an evil
doctor like
leave your sister
out of it
we do get an awesome
flashback
to Channing Tatum
going to
Justin Quid Levitt's
funeral
a lot of fucking
motorcycle
kind of breezes
in and out
first of all
don't come to my funeral
and motorcycle. Second of all, you know what? No motorcycles
allowed to my funeral. That's it.
Really? You're putting down laws about your funeral?
Yeah, that's right. Just recently you said
like, don't go to my funeral at all?
Well, first of all, don't go specifically if you're going to ride
a motorcycle to it. Here's the thing.
Don't try to get laid at my funeral.
If you're going to go to my funeral, don't try to get laid
at my funeral. You're dead.
Dude, life goes on. We're getting laid at your funeral.
If you must...
Why else am I going?
If you must ride a motorcycle do a funeral,
do us all of favor and show up on time.
That's the other thing, dude.
He's responsible for this guy's supposed death.
And he shows up on a motorcycle when it's almost over.
He shows up at the 21 gun salute.
And I got a question about this.
So Rex supposedly dies.
Yeah.
So does he just not even talk to Anna again?
He's just like, well, she's not going to marry me because he died.
He just goes.
We're a fucking idiot.
Yeah.
Real American hero, my foot.
Yeah, like...
What a coward.
I don't think I'm a super villain
if someone did that shit to me.
I'd be like, yeah, I'm dying my hair black
and I'm wearing leather all the time
and I'm a fucking weirdo.
Yes, exactly.
But it's like, what, you know,
she can understand that you weren't there to save him
because he had this other separate mission to do.
She may be like someone to talk to about it, possibly.
And it's fucking so stupid.
There's a ridiculous shot right around here
where like JGL's like giving that whole thing
like, you weren't there for her or whatever.
And it cuts.
to this totally unnecessary shot
of Sienna Miller like inner underwear
crying in a bed and you're like
I get it movie
again way to pull a Summers
Stephen Summers you know who was there
for her she bumped into a
baron at the food court
well what's weird is
like when it's revealed that JGL
is Rex
right I was confused
because is she supposed to already
know? No because there's
no reaction. She's mind controlled.
She has no idea
that Rex is Cobra.
Yes. Right, but like even when that whole
thing is like cleared,
it's never, there's no like...
I think she wants to kill him at that point is the idea.
She does want to kill. Okay.
So she does, she gets in the know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's really mad about the last like seven years
all the murder and all this stuff. And also like
being kind of like weirdly given to Christopher Eccleston because like...
Yeah. Here's the thing. It's like this thing
where it's like, oh, she's being
mind control and yeah maybe she has to like
fuck the baron for evil needs
but then it's like oh this is my best bud
Christopher Eccleson he's going to have sex
with you now like ew man
And then meanwhile if I could Rex
Yeah that's the
Weirdest thing about that fucking underwear scene is like
It's suggested that he like
Put like chloroformed her
And kidnapped her oh I forgot about that
Yeah that's how that shot ends is her being
Like okay buddy
Maybe you deserved all that shit
Yeah, this dude's a pervert, man.
Him and Dr. Mindbender.
So, yeah, we deploy the sharks.
There's this whole fucking chase or whatever.
At the same time, all this is going on,
Jonathan Price, as the president is put in a bunker,
there's a crooked secret service agent,
and he kills all the other secret service agents in the bunker,
and he's like, oh, it's done.
You see he's got the little cobra scar on his neck.
And this is the stupidest, like,
someone walks in, you don't see who it is,
and Jonathan Price, like, reacts in horror.
Meanwhile, the last time we've seen Arnold Voslu,
he's getting this fucking facial reconstructive surgery
and mentions like, oh, I've spent months
practicing his body language and whatever.
He gets injected with like a thousand things
and he gets all shoved in there
and he starts getting like,
and he starts looking older.
And that's when I thought he was going to turn into Dennis grade,
but unfortunately, I guess he's turning into Jonathan Price.
It's specifically like white hair.
And like Jonathan Price's fucking line in the scene
is literally like,
Oh, so that's the twist.
Like almost literally says,
oh, so that's the twist.
Oh, what a twist.
I kind of like being,
like Voslu's like really like,
it's like he's turning into a werewolf
Jonathan Price kind of.
Oh, that would be cool.
As a werewolf, Jonathan Price.
We miscalculated.
So,
Cobra Commander and,
I don't even know how it happens.
Oh,
Destro or Christopher Vecson's got like
a flamethrower.
He's going to shoot it at Duke.
It gets reverberated and melts his whole fucking face off.
Yeah, totally.
Not bad.
And then Cobra Commander grabs him and they go in their own submarine.
He's like, oh, while we're here, I've always had this cool idea for a suit for you.
And he puts out this silver mask that like it's nanite to get it like bonds to his face.
No, he just injects it.
Oh, that's right.
He injects him with nanobots or whatever.
Yeah.
And his face turns into a similar looking.
because Christopher Ecclinson's character
has kept the face mask
from the very beginning of the movie
and when that whole
underwater station goes to shit we see
that mask like floating away at the bottom
of the ocean so yeah
Cobra Commander makes his face
turn into that basically
it looks like shit it looks very
let me bring out my new agent
snow job to finish you off
he looks like fucking the thumb
wars and stuff you know the
what was that the thumb movies we keep talking about
Steve Odekerks, thumb mouth.
Yeah, he's got like the fucking, like, teeth on this, like, unnatural object.
It looks so bad.
It's like son of the mask level, like, CGI to.
The best of those was Thumbist Gump.
Is that a fact?
Is that a real one?
Then I met the thumb president.
Again.
Something jumped up and bit my thumb butt.
I got dumb genitals.
I mean, you would have to.
do, right? I've got a thumb pee.
Did someone call me a GI
thumb genitals?
Then
Thumb Jenny made friends
with a bunch of thumb black panthers.
So then
Duke is chasing them
and this is when Sienna Miller's like, let's get those
fuckers kind of a thing. Totally.
I've been like both physically and mentally
raped for like, I don't know, six years.
Yep. Maybe I could have some
agency in this. We're like, yeah, shut up.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Well, she at one point is, like, running a gun turret and then isn't anymore.
Yeah, she runs out of bullets or something.
Well, it's a Star Wars thing. Like, she's doing, like, Luke in the, like, literally the chair turns like that, too.
But the problem with this movie is it, like, it sets up to do shit like that, then just forgets to follow through with any...
There's also, like, 12 different characters you have to pay attention to at any given time, so nothing actually has any weight to it.
Did we even finish the thread about, like, Ripcourt is shooting down these nano bombs?
This is, I mean, it's happening concurrently.
What's happening now is happening now?
That's right.
Because he saves D.C. right about here.
Marlon Wayans does have a funny line, though, because he gets the missile or whatever, and he brings it up into the atmosphere.
It's being eaten by nanobytes.
Yeah, there's like planes going up with the nanobytes and it explodes, but he ejects in time, and he lands on the White House lawn.
And he's got a good line there.
He goes like, oh, I'm getting arrested again.
Yeah.
I had a legitimate laugh during G.I. Joe.
There's this thing where.
For some, I mean, it's useless, but the whole movie's useless, where, um, uh, uh, the, he has to use
Gaelic words to fire the guns or some, yes, Celtic, Celtic words, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just like
whatever, man, T-Han. Yeah, it's like, how about another movie? You know what? That's an idea for
another movie. That's something fitting for a James Bond film. Yeah, honestly. Yeah.
This movie, it's fucking G. G. I. Joe, you push the red button, please. Exactly.
So also back in the fucking bait, like the Storm Shadow and fucking Snake Eyes are literally doing the Luke and Anakin fight.
Oh, big time.
On the little, like, exactly the little platform.
There's a lot of force lightning flying around also.
Not for nothing.
Storm Shadow dies.
Snake Eyes wins.
He appears to die.
Wait, what?
He's back in the next second one.
Fuck you.
And his, he just got summers.
If his weird little lips can smile.
he would. Or maybe they would be frowned
and maybe he's sad, I can't tell him. He killed his brother
with those weird little lips.
He starts eating ribs and it gets all over.
Dude, I would love to see
those little fucking gross
mannequin lips that just got barbecue
sauce all over. Right after his brother like hits
the water he just pulls out this weird
paper bag on ribs.
He's pulling out sloppy ribs.
That's, yeah, that's his only line. These are actually
riblets. There's two things
that snake guys love is dude. Sword
and sloppy ribs.
Snake guys, did you call me? I'm G.I. Riblet.
And then what's so fucking dumb is like we have the birth of Destro.
We have the birth of Cobra Commander.
And they're both immediately arrested.
Well, it's this thing where like he's like, you're under arrest.
And he's like, yeah, by who?
Or it's like, you and whose army?
And he's like, this army.
And then it's all these guys.
I'm like, hey, don't say that.
I think they're in a laser cell
It takes
It's so quick
It's like that part in
Batman and Robin
When like
The first time Mr. Freeze is arrested
And like George Clooney
Just puts his cape over the camera
Like you see
You see Arnold Schwarzenegger in handcuffs
Like what the fuck happened?
Yeah it's yeah
It is just a fucking Star Wars wipe
And they're just in jail
And the fucking doors close on them
And it's like an underground prison
It's like a minority report
Like type
like mixed with the, where they put,
um,
B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B.
Oh, it's kind of a magneto deal.
Destra's like, do you have like plastic surgeons here?
Oh, you know, how about you kill me?
How about you just shoot me in the heart and kill me?
Shoot me right in the heed.
That'd be really cool of like Destra hung himself in prison.
Of course.
A, you're in prison forever, B, you have a metal face.
Yeah, no, I'd commit suicide.
I would love a metal face.
Oh, really?
I really don't like faces or having one.
Well, see, if you give me a cool Dr. Doom Mask, maybe,
but this like weird jelly gross thing that he's got on his head, I don't know.
it's like metal jelly it's silver jelly yeah it's disgusting what a silver jelly had i would
doctor do mask you could talk you know i mean i would prefer a mask for sure but i would take silver
jelly i just yeah so the joes are called on another mission like almost immediately
dennis quaid is out of this wheelchair hey do you want to know what that mission was what's that
it's operation mongoose oh shit you know why why's that because mongoose eat snakes
Oh, yeah, dude, think about it.
Steven Summers.
I just got Summersed myself.
That's fucking genius.
Crazy, man.
Operation Ricky, tiki, toffy.
Now we're thinking.
Now, it feels like we were talking about this movie forever and not at all.
Yeah.
Which is like, did we talk about this movie?
Well, that's what watching the movie is also funny enough.
Yeah.
It's horrible.
You will check your phone.
Like, that is, if you want to put my, my quote on the back of this.
box, it's you will check your phone.
Dude, that's why I was coming at you guys with so much
Tribune. Trivia. I was reading
every word of that page.
I love that thing in the interview about
Channing Tatum telling Howard Stern how much he fucking
hates this movie.
Really? It was right in the middle of like a
three picture contract he had with Paramount
and like he's there like he was like
I don't want to do this. Can I get out of there?
Like no. Says like this
battleship. Is he in battleship? No, I think that's
Taylor Kitch. Oh, you're right. That is Taylor
But Chan and Tannenes the ship.
He voices the ship.
Toot, Toot, guys. Get in.
Toot, Toot.
Rihanna, get off me.
Rihanna, get off me.
I have not seen Battleship as in this recording.
Oh, I saw that in theaters.
Well, that was also.
Battleship also was trying to cash out on the Transformers buzz.
Yeah, it definitely was.
So much like there's fucking like shape-shifting aliens in that movie.
Whatever that movie.
That's a board game, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
Do Monopoly already.
Let's do.
monopoly. That's true.
That is true.
And then we see the little
button you're not going to believe this at the end of the movie
is Jonathan Price is out of the bunker
and his staff's like, oh, welcome back, Mr. President. He goes
in the Oval Office and closes the door
and whistles the same tune that we hear
Arnold Voslu whistling at the beginning.
It's where he's a jolly good fellow, I believe.
Yes. Yeah. It's great.
Hey, great. Hey, great.
It becomes, and that like becomes
the biggest part of the sequel.
Whistling? No, well, him. No, Jonathan Price, the
secret president, Arnold.
Well, the sequel has the
Cobra banners fly down from the White House,
which ironically is what the White House looks like now.
I would prefer it. I love
all hail Cobra Commander
and Serpentor.
Yeah. Hail hydra.
Wait, we're not doing hydra anymore. Okay, hail
Cobra. Whatever,
whatever nastardly organization.
Tell me who I'm hailing
this week. Look, Stephen Miller.
I just need to inject you with some nanobytes
And then you will be my distro
He would fucking love it too
He would love it
He would fucking love it
Because then he'd be the only silver person on the planet
And it'd be a race all his own
Yeah
Your G.I. Joe name is Stephen Miller
Yeah, I hate that guy
Oh, okay
But it just sounds like your name is Stephen Miller
No, no, no, I hate that guy
So that's my nickname is Stephen Miller
And you, Steve Bannon,
Will be G.I. Fart Ström
that is the end of G.I. Joe, Rise of the Cobra. Would anybody recommend it?
Not for a hot second, dude. It is a slog to get through. It's two hours. I would say it's just two hours.
Oh, by the way, the end of this movie, cut to credits, cut to a black-eyed peas song.
Yep. And that's the... Boom, boom, boom. Yeah, it's that one, which I have...
You're so 2000 and late.
Yeah.
You say that's favorite song.
And this movie isn't...
Exactly 2,000 and late.
Because it came out of a year later.
Because you're 3,000 and 8?
Yes, exactly.
No, it's a disaster.
It's not good.
It's awful.
I could see an argument if it's a real bad one for a hangover movie just because if you don't pay attention to it, don't listen to anything that's being said.
But I also think it fails in almost everything that it's trying to do.
So I'd say no.
Yeah, it's top to bottom awful.
Like, I wish I could have anything to hold on to a life raft.
Maybe one actor's performance, something.
Yeah, I'm a life raft.
What do you need?
I actually don't save anybody.
It's an ironic moniker.
It was just lost at sea.
I thought that was obvious, but whatever.
Yeah, no, it's trash.
Top to bottom.
Top to bottom.
I wouldn't even say hangover because, like, this,
you just can't even, you can't even,
you can't, there's nothing to gleam onto.
Yeah. Unlike a life ref, there is nothing to hold on to here. It is, like Eric said, top to bottom, a failure. I think that Paris chase scene is fine, but that's five minutes of a two-hour movie. And I got to tell you, I don't think it's a hangover movie either because I remember watching the start of this, that sequence where they first get ransacked at the beginning when they're trying to transport these warheads or whatever. I don't know anybody's fucking name, but everybody's screaming something. You can't follow any.
anything. And my head just started hurting
right there. And that's when I was like, well,
if you were watching this with a hangover, you'd probably
just like throw up. No, it's just too
obnoxious to be a hangover movie. I mean,
for me anyway, it's just, and also
like I don't, I would actually be curious. I don't think
anyone liked this. It's going to be made money, but
like, did G.I. Joe diehards?
Because that's what this movie does. It's like chum to die
hard. It's like, oh, there's
heavy duty, there's
ripboard. Oh, it's like the Transformers movies.
Like, here's the Star-Sream, here's
tape deck, here's whatever the fuck. But they don't
Do it enough.
Like, there's like six or seven of them.
I'm like, this is a team.
If you look at the Wikipedia fucking list of names that have been in the canon of G.I. Joe,
it goes on like a Bible.
It goes on forever.
Where the hell was Cum Shot?
Exactly.
Come shot.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
And ripcord begat.
Time code and time code begat heavy duty.
And roadblock walked alone.
At some point in the late 80s, they even had a character.
whose speciality was survivalist.
Sure.
Just like being able to
build a fucking bunker in the woods.
And that little GI dro grew up to be Ted Kaczynski.
Yeah, I'm email because I fucking hate it so much.
Ted, recycling is fake is not going to fit
on your G.I. Joe outfit.
That is G.I. Joe, the rise of Cobra,
directed by Steven.
