Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a headgum podcast. Welcome to WHM on screen, everybody. I'm Andrew Jupin, alongside the whole gang, Stephen Sadeh, at Christopher Cameron, Eric Siska. Eric, not at the audience, Eric. God, what a fucking weirdo. What a fucking weirdo. They can't hear you.
Starting point is 00:00:54 I've shot them. They've deceased. We're here to talk about John Wick, Chapter three. Parabellum. What's that? Prepare for war. What's a parabell? I literally just told you. Prepare for war. What is that? In Latin, it means...
Starting point is 00:01:09 Oh, my God. Did you watch the fucking movie? I did, but no one said... Ian McShane didn't walk in and said, hey, it means to prepare for war. He does say parable. They literally say that. He's the one who says it. He says it? Towards the end, he's the one who's like, he says, if you want peace, prepare for war. and parable.
Starting point is 00:01:30 And also, I don't know if you guys know this, but actions have consequences. And they speak louder. Consequences? Oh, yeah, actions have consequences. Oh, consequences. This is why people say they, they, they, but actions talk louder than words.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Yes. Because they got consequences, which is like the period on an action. Sure. That made sense. Yes. So John Wig 3, directed by Chad Stahel.
Starting point is 00:01:58 who directed part two and sort of like half directed part one, I think is the idea. And then the other guy left? The other guy went to Atomic Blonde, am I correct? Or was that to Hellsky 2? That might have been the other guy. That movie was not very good. I didn't see that one. Didn't see it.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Bad stuff. It's good stylistically. The fighting is good, but the story is kind of just not there in Atomic Blonde. It's kind of incomprehensible trash. Sort of like John Wick 2 and 3. It's way more convoluted in Atomic Blonde. Like, there's way more of it. So I guess, let's go, where does everybody stand on the John Wick franchise as a whole at this point?
Starting point is 00:02:39 I am fucking Whole Hogg, dude. I'm on board with John Wick. To me, and this is just me, they're just fucking video game adaptations of video games that don't exist. Sure. They're fucking fun as hell. And I'm really, really not asking it for anything else. I'm not I love the first one I think the first was an amazing action movie
Starting point is 00:03:02 through and through an action movie masterpiece I would even call it wow I would agree John Wick 2 is where it gets into that it's a lot of fun whoa is that a lot of fun yeah and the third one is similarly a lot of fun and then I just kind of
Starting point is 00:03:18 stopped liking it and I thought it was too long and like it's totally a good movie I like or good for what it is and I'm gonna see the fourth one but I was just like this is just going on for too long. The first John Wick has a real, is perfect, but it has the Michael Mann problem, where
Starting point is 00:03:34 almost everything is perfect, but like where Michael Mann uses audio slave for these really serious scenes, and I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? They use a Marilyn Manson song over and over again in that movie, and it takes me completely out of that. That's why it's good. That's why it's a good movie.
Starting point is 00:03:51 The music for these movies used to play guitar for Maryland. Yeah, I mean, it makes sense why it happened, but it's another one of those things where I'm like, what, why is this here? But, like, other than that, and, like, the second one, I think, is good after 25 minutes. Once you get Peter Stormair out of there, that whole scene drives me
Starting point is 00:04:09 fucking nuts. So once he's done fucking coveching about the car. Why do I care about the brother of the villain who's dead? Why? Why would I care about that? Explain to me. Because it worked in Diehard 3. If he's there the whole time, he's
Starting point is 00:04:25 there for five minutes. He takes a shot with Keanu Reeves. Like, well, thank you very much. Goodbye. Goodbye, franchise. Yeah. Yeah. Now, people think I'm so down on John Wick, but I love that first movie because you
Starting point is 00:04:38 actually have some kind of a hero's journey, some type of arc, some type of fucking thing going on. Yep. And I just feel like the second movie doubles down on the mythology shit, which is just like, I was fine with it in one because it was contained to a location. It's a location and not the entire fucking planet. And now in number two, you know, really nothing matters and the number three as well because it's fun there's good action don't get me wrong but at the end of three you're no different spot than you were at the end of two
Starting point is 00:05:07 yes because you're just going against the crime illuminati and it's just like don't cross the clock the crime illuminati it's like yeah i think i will and then continue to do so yeah and then the next movie at the end of it don't cross the crime illuminati yeah i think i'm gonna so it's just like What are we doing? I know it's beautifully choreographed and the fighting is fun. But I think you're simplifying this story like just a little bit, especially because at the end of it, it's not like, don't cross them I'm going to. It's like him and Larry Fishburn are going to try to fucking take these people down,
Starting point is 00:05:48 which is different than what the second movie is and what the third movie is. But it does feel, I kind of agree though, like where it's sort of, like the first movie ends and it's like, now that's the, the end of the John Wick, and obviously it's because there wasn't supposed to be a sequel, and these two are built with sequels in mind. It's your back to the future two and three situation, but like, it's that thing. And also, like, we are doing that thing. We're like, it's all like within days of each other kind of a thing. We're hours.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Just two and three. Yes, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean, like, I don't know. For me, it's like I wanted this movie to end somehow and it really kind of doesn't, you know, and that kind of bugged me. I thought the last 40 minutes were a total slog, I'll be honest. Really?
Starting point is 00:06:25 I think the first 45 minutes is one of the best. best action movies I've ever seen and the last 40 in the middle whatever there you know in the middle of the whatever yeah it's fine the last 40s a total I liked Mark DeCos in this movie but that like protracted scene with him and the other two guys I'm like
Starting point is 00:06:40 can we just fucking kill one of these guys or what see I just want fights like this is why this is why I'm a raid one and two defender just fight that's all I fucking want absolutely so that's why I kind of allow like the problem with the elder thing which I think is
Starting point is 00:06:57 biggest issue. That dude stinks. It's because it's not an elder. Like you got to get like somebody old in there. Like Morgan Freeman, somebody. Hello, John Wick. Or Jack Nicholson. Yeah. Oh, fuck. I heard Angelica Houston was going to be in a movie and I showed up. Gotta keep him balanced. And the elder is the guy that makes him cut off his finger. Yeah. Yeah. You know, shockingly enough, I was fine with it. It's just a weird like, hey, Homer, find your soulmate. Like, wandering in the desert. And on your last breath, the guy will come and swoop you up. Sure.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Bobbidi-Bobbidi-Bobbidi-Baddy-Bobbidi-Bus. See, the way I look at these three movies is it's actually very similar feeling. Let me explain. To those Oceans movies. Sure. Because like one in three are in New York and then the second movie is like a globe-trotting thing for John Witt. Only the first one's good. Oceans, one in three are Vegas.
Starting point is 00:07:52 See how I just ignored you? And then two, like, they're jaunting to Europe. like two's whole like I'm off for so long in Europe like I love contained to New York City action movies sure and there's so much of this again in three like that's why for me I honestly think it's like a one three two situation I agree with you like keep it on the streets of Manhattan I love so much that it's like a video game also that there's the scene where he's fucking bounding down the Manhattan bridge and before he gets to Brooklyn he literally it's where he's on the mode he's fighting on the motorcycles. He literally turns around. It's like, you haven't accessed that part of the map yet. And he fucking drives back to Manhattan, dude. I was like, this, I'm living a video game right now. He picks up a mushroom and he grows bigger.
Starting point is 00:08:38 It's really something. That's what he needs psychotropic drugs in the next one. Because he has so many fucking coins. It would make sense if he was a Mario brother. Yeah, I guess he's more of a Sonic the Hedgehog type character. I like the coins. I love the stupid marker nonsense. Do you like that there's no homeless people, that they're all just secret assassins?
Starting point is 00:08:56 That's what I've been thinking about the New York homeless for years, by the way. You feel so much better about myself. Like, I'm not going to give that guy any money. He's a hit man. Yeah, yeah. I give to the homeless folks. I give and you should do. There are so many hit.
Starting point is 00:09:10 He's got a T-shirt that says it. There are so many hitmen. What are we doing? Yeah. Who's getting killed? Dude, that is the point. It's the point of the world, man. Either you're on it or you're not.
Starting point is 00:09:21 I was on it. And then again, like the fucking high table nonsense. and then everybody's involved and we're all the way out in Morocco. Like, is there a drug? Is it, so there's only one crime organization in the entire world? Yeah, it's a crime aluminati, dude.
Starting point is 00:09:35 And most hit men are like, oh, I got high with my wife's brother-in-law and then like she blew him and now I want to kill him. So I'm going to get my fucking redneck friend to kill him. Is that guy getting coins to? No, I don't think so. And this is what's so stupid about this world
Starting point is 00:09:53 that they're building is like if all these families, and all these hotels, all this shit is all controlled by this one high council. Again, who are they doing hits on? Because they're all controlled by the high council. Yeah, I kind of agree. I just don't understand it. Unless they're specifically giving me
Starting point is 00:10:10 like they're killing politicians or something. Show me, do a fucking side mission. Show me something. Maybe that's what that, isn't there a television series in the works? The Continental. The Continental is based on the Continental. So I think maybe that will satiate your fucking blood. Checkout time is under one season.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Oh, nice. Wow, dude. I love stuff that I love. The beginning is just so great. I love the fight with him and Bobon, that big fucking dude. He breaks his neck on a book. Isn't that guy in the NBA? He is.
Starting point is 00:10:41 He's currently in the NBA. Yeah, that's pretty sweet. At a point, he does not break his, he fucking shoves a book and splits his jaw open, which is incredible. And then just breaks his neck for fucking good measure, dude. That was a great fight. I also, I really love in these movies, like the public fighting
Starting point is 00:10:57 that doesn't upset the public? Yes. Like in that second movie him in common are fighting on the subway Yeah. Nothing. Those people just like gently get off. Grand Central in this. No one gives a shit. The Grand Central fight. That's a fucking great moment where the kids
Starting point is 00:11:13 walk by. Mark DeCas has that great line where he's like, that's why you're different. I wouldn't have stopped. Nice fucking line there. Nobody gave a shit that they're fighting in a library. Of course not because everyone's an assassin. The library. and the little children in Grand Central. Everyone's just like, Hey, John Wick, I want to be you in a girl.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Oh, that's what they should. They should get the, Trembly as a super assassin in the next one. I'm so over that fucking kid, dude. Jacob Tremblay. Oh, oh, God. I'm so over it. I'm so over it.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Who's that? Jacob Tremblay from Roon. Is it a Trambley? T-R-E-M-B-L-A-Y. I've been saying Trambley. I've been calling her Crandall. I haven't. No, I've done with that.
Starting point is 00:11:55 kid. You know what? Let that kid hit puberty in a in a in a mine somewhere and then he wants to rebrand himself. Get him underground for six years. He can rebrand himself come back. Maybe he's going to be Leo DiCaprio. Oh, the Lipnicki protocol. Yes, exactly. No, it's the Haley Joel Osmond. Initiate Lipnicki protocol. But what came back wasn't human. But at least with Haley Joel Osmond, he came back and he's like a funny like comedic actor. Exactly. He goes away. He comes back. I'll tell you, I'm going through the Jordan Peel Twilight Zone, and I just watched the Stephen Yun one with him and Greg Keneer. It's fucking awesome.
Starting point is 00:12:32 And then it was like, next week on the Twilight Zone, Jacob Tremblay's running for president. And I was like, Skip? Was that Wild in the streets or something? It's pretty much, it's a kid running for president. John shows like the campaign manager. And I was like, Jacob Tremblay, huh? Oh, by the way, by John Wick real quick,
Starting point is 00:12:51 the fucking horse fighting big fan of the horse as a weapon sure I like it so awesome oh Hallie Barry we should talk about a little bit Hallie Barry fucking awesome in this movie good holly bet in some serious ass I thought she had tigers I went into this movie like she's gonna have tigers
Starting point is 00:13:08 in this movie don't worry they're just dogs they were great dogs I liked all the eating of dicks they Ron from Game of Thrones dude that was a fucking hot dog eating contest with those two hounds which is great but for some reason I was just like I walked in the movie was like only Sally Barry's got
Starting point is 00:13:21 tigers. A dog getting shot with a bulletproof best by the way. Well that was great because I wasn't I was like really paranoid that we were just going for like and I was like you fucking sons of bitches. This movie has lost me and then she gets down to the dogs got the bulletproof vest I was like fuck yeah dog but this should be that you know this is like the dog murdering franchise so maybe they should have got rid of one of those dogs I think it's a thing where you get one dog
Starting point is 00:13:51 or in a franchise. And if you just keep... If you're the franchise that's just killing various animals... Especially with puppy. If you're killing a puppy, then you can't do it again.
Starting point is 00:14:01 It's fucking diminishing returns to say the least. Yeah, I liked her a lot. I mean, obviously, she's definitely gonna be in the fourth one, I would imagine. This feels like a backdoor pilot for me a little bit for her own.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Helly Barry Moroccan Nights, maybe. You mean like how she's supposed to have her own fucking jinx movie after die another day? Well, this movie is actually pretty good. Yeah, that's true. Take two on your side projects then. This thing made money. Well, because she, I mean, she's
Starting point is 00:14:27 fucking marked for death. The last time we see her in the movie, she drives off that fucking great chugging water and then spitting some of it back in the bottle to give to him. Yeah, I mean, you know, also John Wick, let's take our fucking jacket off in the desert. How about it? I don't know. How about it? I try to get laid all the time.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Because if Keanu Reeves, also, you could literally wear a fucking, wear exactly what I'm wearing and get laid, which would never happen. sci-fi film over there do you have is there a bulletproof lining behind that plaid shirt there just think about all the people
Starting point is 00:14:58 that were like little babies like born little baby and learn how to eat food and then John Wick just murders them when they grow ups they're all getting that's life man I'm just saying why bother
Starting point is 00:15:11 I thought it why have children I thought about that more within the line of fire than in this one more millennials are not having children due to John Wick movies. It's true because your kid, the best work you're going to be able to get
Starting point is 00:15:22 is to be a homeless hit man. And then you're just going to be murdered by John Wicker of the fucking Illuminati crime guys. More of Mantuccas I would have liked a little bit. You were just all right with it? Here's the thing is he and I love the Zooks. I think he's one of the funniest people I've ever seen do anything. But he's a very specific flavor.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Yeah. and it's not a flavor I want in John Wick movies and it was one of those things where because I'm like you're always playing the crazy guy do something a little bit nuttier oh you kind of just escort him
Starting point is 00:16:00 to Larry Fishburn and you kind of do like the TikTok thing like yeah just have that be a faceless nobody he kept it restrained he did yeah which I'm saying I don't like that I say give him a spin-off well we might
Starting point is 00:16:15 I mean if these movies keep making money, you will have a John Wick extended universe. It's Zooks and Barry, like Hobbs and Shaw or whatever. What is going on? Why do they keep calling him Black Superman in that movie? What is even happening in Hobbs and Shaw?
Starting point is 00:16:30 I got to tell you, dude, I don't know, but they ran a trailer for it in front of John Wick 3, and when it ended, I was like, this may just be the craziest action movie in the last 10 years. Yeah. It looks untethered from reality. You should have
Starting point is 00:16:46 got up and left before you saw John Winfrey well that's coming out so why even watch this? Why even try I mean how bad shit crazy does that movie look and why are they going they're going back to the Rock's hometown and that's involved? It's got to get back
Starting point is 00:17:03 together with this high school sweetheart oh shit that would be kind of cool it looks like and that's one of those like here's the entire movie trailers very much here's the entire movie that was a little bit of a bummer like I would have loved if they kept all the fucking
Starting point is 00:17:18 Samoan shit under wraps. Exactly. Awesome. Because that's a fucking surprise you want to see in a movie. I've gotten to the point when the midsummer trailer came. And that was a lot more because the first trailer is very like... The midsummer trailer? Yeah. The new hereditary guys. Midsmar
Starting point is 00:17:34 Oh, I don't even know what you're talking about. The first trailer is very like atmospheric and I'm like I'm in on that movie and then this one's like, well here's what the whole movie is. I literally did like a fucking maniac in the theater. I'm I didn't see that first trailer that was that was the only one I saw and I got to tell you I've seen the wicker man like maybe it's just the trailer but now I know what you're talking about this is just like the remake of the wicker man it looks a lot like the wicker man yeah yeah yeah I'm into
Starting point is 00:18:03 that I'm fine with age one they're not putting it back out thank God release dude 13th anniversary I watched that uh Dan Stevens remake of the wicker man that they did Netflix did the what is that called? Oh, the fuck. The Apostle. The Apostle. Oh, that's another one. I saw that. And I love that movie. I really like Apostle. That was great. I forgot all about that. My God, I've been hitting the pipe too much.
Starting point is 00:18:27 You saw that entire movie? Yeah. Nice. And I mean, I like, I'm into those kinds of movies, so I'm like, I'm waiting out midsummer. You know, the thing is, at this point, I literally keep my headphones in throughout the trailers. Jeez, you know, that's probably the move. It's getting there. I can't do it anymore.
Starting point is 00:18:43 The one trailer All you need is one trailer To get me into a fucking movie I need four trailers The first trailer is gonna be Really interesting and atmospheric The second one We're gonna get you a little more
Starting point is 00:18:51 The third one here's the whole fucking movie Don't worry kids watching You'll get you'll age into this Eventually you'll start saying shit like this I would I would love it If we could just turn to a society That existed only on teasers
Starting point is 00:19:06 Oh yeah dude just tease me Preferably teasers With no shots from the film Well, just maybe like some audio from a previous movie and some music and a title card. Especially with a franchise movie or a movie that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I appreciate that I now know, thanks to seeing John Wickthrey, that before they aired a trailer for It Chapter 2,
Starting point is 00:19:28 I know know that it was a hard-working immigrant. He showed at the circus because he was out of luck. Is that from the book? That was a weird detail. I'm just saying he's a hard-working interview. I mean, you are pro-penny-wise and always have been. I mean, you know, the best trailer, I think today is still the fifth element teaser where, like, you didn't know anything about it. And it just said, like, the earth is dying.
Starting point is 00:19:51 You have to find the things again. Yeah. The fifth element. And that's fucking it. I mean, sometimes you need to sell a movie and I get that. But also, like, you can sell a movie without giving the whole durn thing away. Totally. Baller character move this time around, Lance Reddick.
Starting point is 00:20:08 The concierge. Oh, yeah. Dude, I love Lance Reddick. I've loved him on the wall. wire. I've loved him on Fringe. He's great in the guest. Speaking of Dan Stevens. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's right. He's great in the guest. Dude, him fucking running
Starting point is 00:20:20 around with that shotgun. It also felt like, like, when's he going to do something? Yeah, yeah, keep your eye on that guy. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, oh, Marge, I got to look, the little guy's going to do something. Yeah, I liked him a lot.
Starting point is 00:20:36 It's, this is, I didn't care for the adjudicator. They were good in the role, but it was just sort of like, what is, what are they doing here? we see? Like waiting for somebody to shoot them.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Yes. Do it. You're building the world too much. Yeah. You're building the world too much. This is Asia Kate
Starting point is 00:20:51 Dylan. Yeah. They're also on billions. Right? Billions and not the HBO show that's like billions.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Yes. Not succession but billions. Yeah. They're on billions. I thought they, you know, for what the character is.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Yeah. It's fine. Sure. You know, but they needed to be murdered at the end. I thought Ian McShane was going to pull
Starting point is 00:21:12 Put a bullet right in their head. It was the stuff shirt, like, you know, like the crusty dean that's like, all right, everyone's having too much fun in this Continental Hotel. And then at the end, they get spaghetti on their head or get shot in the head if it's a John Wick movie. That's where I'm with Eric is like, they're just there to explain what's happening. I already know that. I get it. They're just going to kill them.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Reminded me a little bit of Sith Inquisitors for all the kids out there who watched Rebels like I did. That's a Star Wars thing. Are they doing John Wick done too? They're doing like the John Wick lightsaber. Well, no, so the John Wickgun's like this, but a Star Wars goes like this, because it's like more of the stuff. Kickback, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Wait, so Steve, explain again, because I didn't have the camera. I'm sorry, all right. So then the John Wick gun is like this, like, right? You shoot two guns. But a Star Wars gun, you're kind of going like that. Right. Yeah, like that. But you're not doing it right, because Wick always has the...
Starting point is 00:22:02 You're not doing it right. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Because it's fucking gunfoo, dude. Equilibria. It's like, I also love that I have to get really close to you to shoot you in the neck. Like, I really want to. I want to shoot you in the neck. Just so I don't fuck up.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Yeah, exactly. Well, because of the helmets. Yeah, that's true. They're all bullet. That was an awesome thing. Like, oh, fuck. All of these guys are bulletproof. Not if I get the gun barrel under your motorcycle helmet.
Starting point is 00:22:26 That was sort of like that, that sequence into the two to Mark to Costco's fight and his apprentice fight was where I was kind of tap in my foot. Because the movie's too long. A movie is just, it is almost two and a half hours. That's a real problem. The first one's a buck 45. Amazing. Perfect. You know, like I was fucking.
Starting point is 00:22:42 severely bumming because I saw this last night so we're recording on a Wednesday night. I saw it on a Tuesday night. And it was like, we want to do the on screen. I'll go out to the theater. Caught a 9.30 show. I was out of the theater at fucking midnight. And I'm like, what are we doing?
Starting point is 00:22:58 What are we doing? What are we doing? Everybody? What are we doing? Eric is doing what he was doing in the theater. John Wick. My favorite maybe we'll end with favorite fights. Oh, okay. My favorite fight scene, all of that shit in the narrow hallway with the knives. Oh my god. The hall of knives. Oh my fucking god. I love the knife
Starting point is 00:23:18 museum. Holy shit. He's just hucking knives at heads and dude the oh the cherry on top hucking that axe down in the hallway at that dude's head. Oh bra. I also liked in that sequence where he rebuilds like the old West gun. Yeah. He'd go off. Totally. That's one of the Eastwood spaghetti westerns. Eli Wallach's character does something similar. Very cool. That was the part that my audience that I was with was really into. Like that's where you got had the most like gasps and guffaws. Oh yeah. Ice T's favorite part of the movie.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Oh, right. I had like my audience, I saw it like on a weekday afternoon. Not many people in the audience. But one guy did after every fucking, every battle, every fucking person dying. Oh yeah. Yeah. Woo. He was just like getting way too into the movie.
Starting point is 00:24:08 You got to be, if you're the only one doing that. It's the only. You got to stop doing that. The only one doing it. Read the room. As in as in with all of life, read the room. I mean, I love, I mean, it's R-A-Biss-7. I love the horse stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Oh, yeah. In slapping that horse's ass, kicking people. Into the motorcycle chase. It reminded you to the horse. Yes, that's why it was specifically because they reminded me. The zoo of the documentary. Yes. But I should, one big thing I think this movie does incredibly well is digital blood.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Yes. Like he figured out, you don't go close. close like get make it darker go a little away therefore it looks a little more real and like it really works especially in like the shotgun stuff like I was like okay that you're doing a lot there you're totally right Kevin that's a good point I didn't I didn't think I like put me down for another I'm a vote for horse stuff too I love the fucking horse just kicking people in the head I'm an NBA guy Bobon speaking dot do it his best to talk about Dante for three seconds well Mr. Rick and also I love the old school version you know what
Starting point is 00:25:12 give me a cheap special effects that guy's really big like that's that's I'm a sucker for that guy's really big and now he's going to find him yeah sucker for it you guys were mentioning quality of audience
Starting point is 00:25:24 I gotta tell you so I'm sitting I saw it up at the the 84th Street AMC so on the upper west side I see in the lobby this group of teenagers like dressed up
Starting point is 00:25:39 like wearing fucking like the dudes were in suits the girls were in dresses. Wait, what? Were you a John Wick party afterwards? I think they were coming from like an Upper West Side Private School Proff. It's a Johnwick Bar Mitzvah.
Starting point is 00:25:50 It's a John Wick Bar Mitzvah. Oh man, John Wick Briss. And I remember thinking to myself like, oh man, I hope they're not in my theater. They were literally sitting next to me and around me. And it was a thing where this is one of the theaters. It's assigned seats. And these sons of bitches were doing the like,
Starting point is 00:26:10 maybe someone won't show. up and they were sitting in seats and it was like everybody kept coming in like you're in my seat and like all these kids were moving around. It's really fucking bothering me right so then the movie starts they all quiet down and I'm like oh we're behaving
Starting point is 00:26:25 this is fantastic news okay we're watching the movie and I got to tell you I'm all for I'm all for people loving movies getting into it God bless these kids man they were just fucking nerds every fucking like cool kill these dudes next to me were high five in the whole time oh bless them all these
Starting point is 00:26:48 nerds you see we're saying they're nerds but for all i know that's like the coolest thing kids do today like i don't know what pop culture is anymore i'm i've lost my coach i don't think high fiving in a movie theater on date is ever going to get you late that's that's really but i will tell you speaking of getting late in the movies not getting laid directly but i was incredibly uncomfortable. These kids were fucking surrounding me, right? Because I pick like an aisle seat. Sure. Right? So I'm on the aisle. I'm in the back row.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Can I just say I hate the assigned seating now? Every theater's doing it. I hate it. What are you talking about? Aninibity. I don't want to have to think about it. I don't want to have to think about it. I don't want to have to like fucking get out a fucking map of Westeros and be like, well, okay, now the screen is there and I have to imagine the theater in my head. It's good unless you get a bad crowd. It's good when opening night and shit like that for sure.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Like Alamo or whatever, yeah. But I'm kind of 50-50. Unless you have a bad crowd. When you have a bad crowd, it's like, fuck, I'm with this guy. Right. And I'm just with this guy. So sorry, please go on. You were surrounded by teens.
Starting point is 00:27:51 I was surrounded by teens, dude. I could fucking smell the hormones. Two of them were making out in front of me. And I was so uncomfortable. And you were videotaping it. No, I was like, I was like, just watch the high octane action. And these two is a boy and a girl and they're just making out. And I was like, how can you be making out when such cool action is happening?
Starting point is 00:28:10 happening and it eventually subsided but how could i watch a movie with such cool action dude i was so grossly uncomfortable i can't even tell you he's like that's ridiculous that is insane i don't oh my god that's so stupid you should have just told the boy about the scene from diner he'd be very well because the terror is like okay you're making out during the previews and into the movie still like whatever but i was like she gonna give this guy hand job? How far is this going to go? What base are we talking about here? Exactly. And it was a sold-out theater, man. It's Tuesdays at an AMC. It's cheap movie night. It was packed. You're going to get some wet shrapnel either way.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Could be spit. Could be something else. I was fearing for my life. Dude, they fucking put the armrest up. Oh, shit. Yep. Pro move right there. Yep. Yeah, no, I couldn't believe it. I was very uncomfortable. So I'm signing out for John Wake 4. I will be there opening weekend. I am a solid one, two, three guy. Diminishing returns. I hope we can kind of stay in Morocco, stay out of the desert and leave. Stay out of Morocco, John Wick. I liked it enough, but I was kind of, I already said what I said. I mean, yeah, I'm one three to
Starting point is 00:29:20 I think. Nice. I mean, I haven't agreed. I'm with you guys. I'm with you guys. The one thing I really would, like, if you took out the elder stand and actually, I want to see the high table. Yeah. Like, it just show. What kind of table is it? Yeah. Is it really that high? What is it made out of it? It's a gun table like in death. I guarantee
Starting point is 00:29:36 you when we get to the high table, it's getting so silly. There's going to be a dragon. I guarantee you. There's also going to be someone that's there that turns out to be a hologram. Oh, yeah. The secret people with the sunglasses and Kingsmen where you can just see them. Oh, Christ.
Starting point is 00:29:50 I would not be shocked if John Wick 4, it's like, yeah, I think I'll join the Kingsman. And they just combine franchises. And then it's like, all right, John Wick, you first have to master an English accent to join the Kingsman. Michael Keynes just giving them shit. I'm trying my best.
Starting point is 00:30:09 I mean, he might be able to do it if he was able to get that accent when he was born Jordi Georganovich I will say did not care for learning his fucking Belarusian backstory. I loved Angelica Houston
Starting point is 00:30:23 in the movie, but I don't need to know that he's got a different name. She should have been the elder. That makes more sense than this young guy. Yeah, dude, it was a bad move. Switch that shit. Have that dude be choreographing the Russian ballet
Starting point is 00:30:37 have Angelica Houston in the middle the fucking desert. Like his older adopted brother or something. That makes more sense. I also loved Mark DeCosco's fucking iron sheffing all these fucking older actors, man. He fucking cuts up Lawrence Fishburn. Oh, right. And he cuts up Angelica Houston.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Pretty badass. Her getting stabbed through the fucking hands wasn't too bad. She was her stigmata. No, and I just quickly touch it on Larry Fishburn too. I thought he was great. It was Larry Fishburn getting to fucking go off the chain a little bit, you haven't seen much.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Sure. Last time I saw Lawrence Fishprint in a movie was last flag flying and he's playing a reserved fucking pastor of Vietnam veteran so that's not.
Starting point is 00:31:19 It's also very good in that though. He's good in it but he like he was having a fucking boatload of fun in this movie and you could just kind of tell. So I'm excited for fucking Neo and Morpheus
Starting point is 00:31:29 teaming up in this fourth one dude which I hope they do. It's gonna happen. I think it's already confirmed. Yeah. I think they hit the news today. May something 2021. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Which is like I see. I saw that that John Wickford is going to happen right when I walked into the theater. I'm like, all right. So he lives. Great. Again, just to reiterate, I'm one, three, two. I like three, way more than I like two. But still not sold on the world and probably never will be.
Starting point is 00:32:02 But, you know, it's fine. That's all right, dude. It's all about fucking seeing people shoot stuff. And I don't need to see your fucking pirate de blues. Love the pirate. I want them. I want them coins. But you didn't like the minting sequence where we go to the fucking factory. Having coins and having a minting sequence are two different things. But you need, if you have coins, you've got to have someone making coins.
Starting point is 00:32:23 And that's why it falls apart. Because there's no coin making. There shouldn't be. And we should move to a cashless society. Because think about all the effort it takes to print even dollars. Like, what are we doing? Yeah, all those, can't you just Venmo me? Wouldn't you? Hey, man, I'll kill that dude.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Just Venmo. oh like he like slides across like this fucking like ancient meme or something it's like oh yeah it's symbolizes my debt to you all those coins without seeing how they were made dude they're just fucking penny sues oh well done that is w hm on screen for john wick three parablem until next time i'm andrewing stephen sidac this cabin eric siska take it easy That was a hitcombe, that was a hate gum podcast.
