[00:01:42] films now so this is going to be an exciting episode. So what do you say? Let's get to raging. Now before we get started on this humongous episode, hashtag humongous. I think we're overselling it. I don't think it's going to be that. It's going to be a

[00:02:06] lot of stuff but it's going to be pretty good. It's going to be tight just like your butthole. Yeah not quite that tight. Okay so not after this last week for you. So

[00:02:19] there's a few things I just wanted to bring up. So this is now our fourth year of doing the podcast and we really want to thank all the people who have supported us. But

[00:02:29] I want to talk to you about the countries that downloaded us over this last year for 2023 and then they're in the order of the most downloads. So Canada beat out the US for a

[00:02:44] second year in the row so US pick up your socks. Followed by Ireland, UK, Switzerland, Singapore, Australia, South Korea, Germany, India, Finland, France, Netherlands, Ukraine, UAE, Taiwan, Slovakia, Iran, Russia, Colombia, Hong Kong, Cape Verde, Brazil, Belgium, Austria, Hungary, Israel, Lithuania, Norway, Nepal, Philippines, St.

[00:03:12] Chels? Is that a place? St. Chels. Thailand, Turkey and finally a country that we got a few more listens than we did from last year called Unknown. They were on the board

[00:03:26] last year. Yeah they were. They were a little higher up on the board. So Unknown, if your country wasn't listed perhaps you need to change your IP address or something. I don't know anything technical other than pushing buttons which I do quite regularly. You push

[00:03:43] mine. I know and Murray's it's my favorite thing to do. Favorite thing. So thank you all countries. I would have to say that this week he's going to do pretty good with me because I think I'm

[00:04:23] looking at this list and I'm pretty predictable. Yeah, this list is pretty predictable. Actually, you know what? This is a bit of a crap shoot. I'm kind of anxious to see what the Merseys. I got your pen handy. I already had the first one

[00:04:36] wrong anyway. All right. Judged by your comments. Oh, okay. I was just trying to look through it through your eyes, man. It was musical. You love musicals. You'll just hurt yourself. Yeah, okay in order we got Wonka. Yes, yes, which I saw

[00:04:55] yesterday. Nice. There's a lot of singing in there. Yes. And a lot of Timothy Chalamet. Yes, Shilaboner and a little tiny U Grant. Yes. Pocket size, which two of the times he was on screen for the first time I went to the bathroom. Oh,

[00:05:15] second time I left. What started singing? I left. Oh, that's the best part. You missed out. Oh my goodness. So yeah, Jim who has permanent Chalamet boner, shallow boners. I know you would love that. The singing. I don't

[00:05:32] know. He's not fond of the singing, but it just weird enough. He might have liked it. So I think he might have given him a Mando. All right. Bryce, I think maybe a high man. I don't think he Mando did.

[00:05:47] Okay, don't get me wrong there. We will see. Next one is because my printing is illegible. I'm pretty sure it's a boy and a fish. Boy and a hair. It's not a fish. It's a bird. A big bird of that. Same thing. It's an animal. It's a

[00:06:05] cartoon. Yes, I actively try to stay away from you do. But but but not when they're subtitled, which by the way, I'm subtitling even subtitles. I saw the non subtitled. So it'll be I saw the subtitle trailer, which was actually

[00:06:23] mostly in English. Interesting, but considering the huge list of stars that were in this, people that were in it. Yes, I'm pretty sure you guys both love this one. So I'm pretty sure you're Mando. All right. Mando times two. And we

[00:06:41] have all command in the last kingdom. Yes, which Jim and I got to see. Yes. It was our pre Christmas date. Excellent. I'm already writing your ratings down. You are. I don't even need to hear them because I know what they're

[00:06:58] going to be. Yeah, you saw it and you saw it with Jim. I saw it with Jim. I did not agree with him. But I'm pretty sure you both raged on it. Okay. It's a

[00:07:10] superhero. I wonder if he's right about this one. The last one was so good. Yeah, but Bryce, I'll just super hair movies are math for you. All I'm gonna say is I didn't have to change what I wrote down before he said

[00:07:24] it. Then we got poor things. Oh, yes. We have a stone who apparently is some kind of a Frankenstein thing that's naked. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, she was naked a lot. A lot more than I thought she was gonna imagine. Yeah, it looks really,

[00:07:42] really weird. It is really, really weird. Which means Jim probably mando'd it. I think Bryce may have gone down to a man. Alright, I love this music. And then we have iron claw. I did not get to see. Yes. And which

[00:08:03] cough presented. But it was that big chain theater they didn't need our assistance. No, they did not with the screening and apparently I also missed talking with Bret Hart. There you go. Yeah, but he's also a wrestler. I

[00:08:18] tell you, you think the Hart family has some tragedy? Oh yeah. No, it's they don't measure up to the bond. Stampede wrestling is a tragedy. But yeah, the heart's not not just I mean, hard thing. Yeah, but some of

[00:08:33] the other tragedies were people who were from the wrestling ring, but not necessarily related to them. Yeah. But anyway, yeah, a lot of tragedy. But yes, it was a wrestling film with the Von Erichs.

[00:08:45] And I know happened. No, Bryce is a bit of a wrestling fan. What? He may have actually known who the wrestlers were. I did may have actually seen them wrestle. I saw everybody that was featured in the film. But

[00:08:58] Oh, there's a but think this is still just a math for you guys. Okay, a double math. Yeah, even though Jim has no interest in wrestling. Yes, or sports movies for sports movies. That was the

[00:09:09] other doubt. So what's the thing that could get it to a man then Murray? I don't know. I think maybe some of the performances. Okay, that's fair. There actually was some very good person. Don't give him anything away. She's already said it. Then we have the color

[00:09:25] purple which apparently rice didn't monosy. I know I wanted to see it. It's a musical remake of an original story. So if you're gonna that's the thing though if you're gonna go for you know to make a remake of something just absolutely do a musical and just

[00:09:44] make it go go so far the other way that it can't possibly be good. But maybe it will be because it'll be a pleasant surprise. Because it was a musical. Yes, it was a remake. Yes, I was Steven Spielberg. Yes, who I know you're not that fond of.

[00:10:00] No, I think pretty sure you raged about it. Okay. And Brian says no comment. That's right. I think I think that I wouldn't have hated it though just because it's got such a stellar cast. I might have.

[00:10:15] I don't get anything away. I will see it eventually. Of course you will. I'm also gonna see the other turd of a movie that you went to eventually. Oh, well, I'm guessing it was a turd of a

[00:10:25] movie but I guess I'll find out. We're gonna find out. Yes. And we have Ferrari. Adam driver. I really bad Italian accent. Yes, he's got that bad Italian accent mastered after funny how the three main actors in this

[00:10:44] movie are American. Yeah, Mark and well know one of the one sorry one of them Spanish one Spanish that catches they play Italians. Yeah, Spanish plays Italian and Mark and plays Mark and doesn't she isn't she? Marking now. Anyway, she's

[00:11:03] not supposed to be Italian. It's supposed to be a movie. She isn't. What's her name in this? Now you're bugging me. No, it is no she had an Italian accent for like one line. No, she had no accent. He married American. I mean, pooply or

[00:11:21] literally yeah, I don't I know nothing about it. So what do you think we're gonna see your name? It's a car. Keep looking it up. It's a car movie. I think she was American and there's a lot of racing scenes. Yes, not

[00:11:32] exactly a good combination. Yes, you too. So yeah, because of Adam driver, you might have actually got it up to a man. Okay, maybe she I don't know. We know Lardi. Yeah, she was fucking Italian. Well, she didn't suppose to be Italian. Oh

[00:11:46] my god, because she's a terrible actor. She may be Canadian. I don't know. Terrible. Wait, that's I don't want to give anything away. I still want to get I just want to get through. Those three characters were not played by

[00:12:02] Italian actor. That is true. But she was American. No, she was supposed to be Italian in this movie. That's ridiculous. Yeah, it was okay. And finally, I'm sorry, I've missed your ratings. It was mad. Because it's got cars and it's got

[00:12:23] racing in it. But it's got Adam driver. It's got Adam driver, which is probably why it wasn't a rage. All right. Okay. I'll tell you. Wow. And finally, until I review it. Speaking of racing. Yes, in the boat. Yes, from their boat racing George

[00:12:37] Clooney. Well, period. That would be Rosemary Rosemary Coenys directed but he wasn't even in it. He just directed it. Yeah, let's go. You get it right. See, he should be like, what's his name? Nobody's gonna know who

[00:12:51] you're talking about. He should be in every movie he directs, but anyway, you need to tell them it's Rosemary Clooney's nephew so they know who you're talking about. They know really? Yes, because nobody knows George Clooney, but they know they

[00:13:04] don't Rosemary Clooney nephew. How about Danny Ocean? What's a Danny ocean? That's a was that like Frank Sinatra? I think they're using a movie called Ocean something. That was Frank Sinatra. Nope. That was original. What we're getting back

[00:13:21] to you know what that wasn't a musical I don't want that out of my mind. Yeah, you did. Why would they remake that the original was so good? Yeah, because it could be any worse. No. All right.

[00:13:33] So what did we think of boys in the boat? Yeah, well, right. Didn't see it. So no comment. Yes. It's a period piece. My fault. It's a sports film. Yes. And it's a bio. You gotta give it a range. There's no other choice. Triple

[00:13:53] threat triple film. Biofit. Biofit. I'm glad you guys wasted two weeks of your time watching all those movies. Wasn't a total waste. That's right. I got to see a purple and they were some ugly. Some ugly. Yes. Smugly as we like to

[00:14:12] If I would have just put on a diaper, I probably could have seen the color. You know what? I'm disappointed in you because you talk about loving diarrhea more than anybody I know. You didn't have the balls to wear your fucking diaper to the

[00:14:24] cinema. I gave him Murray. I gave him two or three outs the day before he went on holidays. I said I'm going to go see the late night show and he's like, I need sleep because I won't sleep on the plane and then he comes back and

[00:14:37] doesn't even wear a fucking diaper. So the way I didn't see two movies. I didn't even go to bed. Yeah, so you could have gone to the movies with I was like, I got so much to do. I haven't packed yet. I still haven't cleaned the place for

[00:14:49] Kevin when he got here because he was taking care of my dog. So I was like, I gotta at least clean the bathroom. Right? Yeah, I should probably clean the sheets there on his bed. So I'm like, I'd probably do that too. And

[00:15:03] then all of a sudden I'm like, Oh man, it's already like one in the morning and I still got another load of laundry to put through and could have easily seen the movie and I got to leave at like 430 am. So yeah, so yeah, I

[00:15:17] just know I couldn't have seen the movie because I was literally doing stuff the whole time. Anyways, you're putting people to sleep here, Jim. Let's get on with this. I am gotcha. All right, Wonka, Wonka vision, Murray, you want you tell us what you thought of it? Because

[00:15:33] because you hate everything now. So I hate everything. I should call Murray's film range. I resisted the urge to see this because quite frankly, Hugh Grant has an Oopa Loopa just freaks me out. Just just gives me the creeps.

[00:15:47] Give me that. That and I love the original so much. There is absolutely no way. This isn't a remake. No, it's a prequel but there's no way they could ever improve on the original and yet and no, they didn't. They did not. They

[00:16:05] did not. Oh man, did they ever this was like watching Annie. This was like watching you know the musical Annie with the little girl. Yeah, it's pretty good. Exactly what it was a little bit like Annie. I didn't like the remake. There was a much it was

[00:16:19] it was I wanted to like the remake. Cal Bernat. Anyway, yeah, it was two hours long and I was looking at a watch every five minutes. You like musicals. I used to like musicals. I didn't like this one at all. And yeah, towards I

[00:16:35] get towards the end while they kept using the pure imagination song in various Crippets throughout the movie and they effectively blown at the end but it's like sorry, Timothy Chalamet. I just didn't like your version. Okay, I prefer

[00:16:50] Gene Wilders. He was a whack job. He was a legend. So was Mando. No, oh, it's barely above a rage. It's a man. It is a man. You find you did give it a man even though you

[00:17:03] looked at your watch that I just I could say I hate movies now. I can't even be bothered anymore. I just I he's burnt between this and the Hollywood Strikes has killed my love of the filming industry. Yeah, that's the saddest thing I've ever

[00:17:21] written. I hope it does. Who do I? All right, what did you think? Buckaroo? Mr. Poopy pants? Mr. Poopy butthole? I went to want and went to walk in. I'm like, well, this is a musical and Timothy Chalamet is Wonka. Come on. And then I'm like, well,

[00:17:40] that's got Olivia Coleman in it. So that's a good thing. I'll give you what's good. Plus, very, very underused. Who's the black dude you guys like? I'm losing it here. What's what's her name? Sally Hawkins. Yeah. Oh yeah, Sally Hawkins.

[00:18:00] Not enough Sally Hawkins in the beginning in the end. Yeah. Yeah. So I was kind of disappointed. I didn't see more sell you were gonna get more of her but man that that young lady that played noodle she was so good. Yeah, she really did

[00:18:16] which I was not expecting. Anytime I see Matt Lucas in anything, he's like he played broad nose one of the the chocolatiers. He with a really bad to pay. Yes, this guy just makes me laugh. I don't know why he just does this fricking

[00:18:35] thing rolled along like nose buddy's business. It didn't have a downbeat. There was actually there was up there's about five minutes kind of towards the end where I was kind of like and then it just redeemed itself like nobody's

[00:18:49] business at the end. This movie was excellent. Yes, I loved it. I loved the art direction. Yes, I love the look of it. Yes, the performances were outstanding by every single person. Yes, and I've yet to mention Hugh Grant who is like the greatest

[00:19:06] Oompa Loompa that ever I was a little annoyed at first because I was like maybe they should have put a little person in as then I was like, you know what they made him even littler. So it wouldn't even really worked and he was so

[00:19:21] good that nobody on the face of the planet could have done that any better. He was perfect. Yeah, it was hilarious. It was fun. I loved Wonka. It was Mondo. Oh, all right. So rolled doll is brilliant and in the right hands of a

[00:19:41] director you get the pure imagination that was dolls original creation with writing so fantastically doll tastic with a cast completely stellar as Bryce has already mentioned with comedic timing and even though it was a musical it felt right as a musical. Timothy Chalamet is my absolute

[00:20:05] most latest man crush. There is nothing he can't do and in this not the wacky drugged out version of say Johnny Depp Wonka. This felt natural and fun and heartfelt and at times dreadful because no one does evil villains like

[00:20:26] rolled doll does or someone who's trying to write like rolled all I felt as I was watching this that it was really streaming that rolled all feel. I don't know how writers got rolled all feel from this because this is not

[00:20:43] anything he's produced but it felt totally like a roll doll film. Now although this was not based on a rolled doll book made up. Yep. It sure felt like it was in his universe didn't it? Yep. I see this as a future family favorite even

[00:21:01] by a skeptic of musicals like myself where the dozens of kids are there and the screening I went to yeah. Yeah there was none of that when we went. I think we were like at midnight or something. I went two weeks after it opened on

[00:21:12] a Tuesday night and it was full. Yeah this was this was a huge mondo for me. I loved it. It was so good and I didn't it was so good. I didn't expect it to be this good.

[00:21:22] But we had so much fun together watching it too because it was just we got all the there's there's little inside jokes that was happening and the the the dread in it was really was really done well. It was

[00:21:35] done really want to go to this together. Yeah we did. I didn't even remember it was so long ago. It was so long ago because we saw it like at the beginning of the of the whole

[00:21:45] Christmas. I kind of smart I went by myself. No we saw it together. All right so we also saw the boy in the heron. We did see the boy in the heron. Like Alice in Wonderland or Labyrinth before it. This was the story that will

[00:22:03] continue to charm future audiences for years to come with hand drawn animation taking seven years to complete and versions of A-list voices from Japan and second version of A-list English speaking voices. This from the genius mind of probably the best and most creative animation director of all

[00:22:30] time. I'm kicking myself. I did not get to see this in IMAX because it was mind bendingly Mondotastic. It's a wacky and weird and dreamlike and it's completely amazing like every single one of his pieces of work he's done before. This film

[00:22:49] is it's so good. It's brilliant. I can now I have to see the Japanese version of it. I just have to. It's very very good. I didn't think it measured and I think he might be a victim of his previous works.

[00:23:05] Yeah it didn't quite measure up for me and that's why I had I had the mildest of disappointment because I thought it would be as good as some of his other. I love this film. I liked it a lot but I gave it a man. What?

[00:23:22] Yeah. Bitch you crazy. I might be. I might need to watch it again. This was so fact-tastic. F-tastically fantastic. I honestly think this was a this might have been a victim of me having too high expectations.

[00:23:35] I don't know. I had the highest of expectations and I still was just like I also might have been just so angry because of the movie. I saw it immediately before it and maybe I couldn't get over that

[00:23:48] angry because I was still swearing to myself as I was watching sitting there going. Yeah well go into that later. Yeah um yeah I know this was this was like actually I went and saw this with my wife and she did not get it. Like she doesn't understand

[00:24:06] fantasy. This was and he understands family dynamics just like most Japanese directors. There's so much and the and the and the grandmothers that are like every single character in this was brilliant. You're almost convincing me. Yeah well it's because it's fantastic. Now go back and see it again

[00:24:26] after you see a good movie. Maybe maybe I was just really angry. You know what this movie is so good. Because yeah I ended up seeing a movie that made my bottom five of the year. I had to

[00:24:37] blast someone out of my bottom five of the year to put this piece of crap. Did you um did you have anything more to say about the Bowie and the Heron? Uh no I think I probably am wrong.

[00:24:49] But I you are wrong. I'm just letting you know that now. You're completely wrong. It was a it was a long day. Yeah okay. I just got out of one of the worst movies that I'd seen involved here along. Speaking of one of

[00:25:00] the worst movies you've ever seen it let's talk about Aquaman and the Last Kingdom. Hey are you are you clairvoyant? Like seriously so you must be. So let's check in where Mer's at. He did he get. Oh did you see this one Mer? No.

[00:25:18] Aquaman yeah like I said. Oh Aquaman. Yeah Jim and I had a Christmas date. We did. Uh exchange presents had drinks and appetizers. Got to second base. Almost got to second base. Nice. Um I roofied him. I know I know what Jim

[00:25:33] thought of it. I'm not surprised. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be to be honest. Oh my god really. Really. Not a big Aquaman fan anyway. I mean as someone who is a huge fan of DC and the

[00:25:48] Justice League in general. Uh we thought Aquaman was one of the lamest superheroes. I mean the dude talks to fish. Obviously Mamoa you know puts a little more muscle into it but uh yeah ironically he didn't do a lot of talking to the fish during this movie.

[00:26:05] By the way just to interrupt you for one second. Did he get a writing credit because he did some improvisation in this because he might have some of the some of the humor that they were trying to infuse into it that wasn't funny. Felt like it was just

[00:26:21] Mamoa just saying stuff. Maybe because he was because I think he was credited as a writer. You literally gave fast X. Yeah. Fat fast X. Yes. Which he was also in. A man because of him. Yes. So that's probably you know

[00:26:37] maybe maybe maybe uh yeah I mean I can't believe you started on was terrible. The villain was super late when you put that money the villain was basically Kang it was another version of

[00:26:52] clan Kang it was a black guy who is angry and wants to take over the world mm and but he wore an ant man costume it was he was a bug yes and I still don't get

[00:27:07] who's actually a why all those humans were helping him destroy the planet mantis yeah well I don't know I don't know he looked he looked like a man to raise in the ocean he looked like an bug guys he looked like a black version of

[00:27:21] ant man no I didn't like him no and I don't know what he is and the human that was supposed to be his sidekick the guy who was helping him though he didn't want to the the Asian comic relief

[00:27:30] yeah he was funny um and then the rest of them I don't get why they're helping this guy destroy the planet they know damn well what he's doing he's bringing the temperature of the planet up melting the polar ice

[00:27:41] cats basically bringing up the destruction of the entire planet yeah they don't have a spaceship they're not going anywhere else no they don't want to be dying yeah that's right that pissed me off but but oh what's the but but Patrick

[00:27:55] will oh god that can't be the reason you liked it it is seriously one of my man crushes I love them in pretty much everything except maybe the insidious movies I like them in almost everything else

[00:28:09] but and the fact that he was the bad guy in the first one and now he's like his sidekick and the two of them that the whole the whole bro buddy movie yeah bro mass adventure yeah

[00:28:21] Jim will attest to this I was laughing with the two of them were on the screen together Mary loves bromance movies those guys were freaking hilarious the rest of the movie sucked ah okay should not even have been in they should just taken her out

[00:28:34] completely agreed she had three lines too many I know this before after the whole Johnny depth thing but but yeah they should have just canceled her ass and taken her out of the movie because she didn't contrete anything to the movie at all

[00:28:48] but yeah it's a superhero movie it should have been a rage it was a low mat just because of Patty cakes because I like I like the two of them together all right well I want to hear a break

[00:29:00] does anybody remember the first Aquaman yes this was a freaking movie not really yeah no it was not really no it was it was exactly the safest first one it even had the same super villain in it like there is nothing different well

[00:29:16] nothing at all technically he wasn't the super villain to the end of the movie well you get that same villain in it it was just one of them Patrick Wilson was the was a super villain in the first hour the same movie it was garbage then it

[00:29:28] was garbage now fish every everybody was awful in it watching Dolph Lundgren is king me or yes I love Dolph Lundgren oh my god awesome like he couldn't even get his lines out I didn't even know what he was saying half the time he was so gargled

[00:29:45] because his best friend is sliced alone and Jason Momoa I swear was like improving and it nothing he did was funny Patrick Wilson was exactly what he always is brutal Nicole Kidman what is she doing in this movie

[00:30:01] Mark is a mama she's also brutal by the way like everything in this movie was awful Martin short couldn't even be funny in this movie like what no and this case he wasn't

[00:30:12] he was a rip off of Jabba the Hut and it wasn't it was stupid was that Martin short that was Martin short Jabba the Hut was Martin Short Martin Short given I remarked a few times this is a Star Wars movie

[00:30:24] yeah it pretty much was a Star Wars movie this was total garbage from from the opening scene the CGI was awful the acting was awful there wasn't one amusing thing in the whole thing I was so angry at this

[00:30:39] and here's why I was angry I go to the cinema in Ontario not only do they only have it playing in either IMAX for a billion dollars or I can go to AVX no no or I can go to the VIP

[00:30:53] cinema oh I can either get charged 26 dollars with all the freaking taxes in Ontario or I can get charged 30 bucks to watch this total piece of dog crap I chose 26 and I was still

[00:31:08] completely just felt like I was this was awful you want to this was made for IMAX don't you know you want to hear something even even even angry this should be shown on a 17 inch television so that you can't spot all the the flaws in the special effects

[00:31:25] it's garbage I know something to make you even more angry nice I love it Ontario according to my sources does not have real IMAX I don't really care it looks like garbage real IMAX it's just a blown up to pretend 35 mil or whatever don't care it's

[00:31:41] bloated not even a full 70 mil this could have been the most beautiful thing ever that I could ever look at and it would still be a garbage movie but it looked bad you paid 26 for something that wasn't even IMAX

[00:31:52] there you go and plus your three three boxes of popcorn that you had to eat yeah no I don't I don't even think I got popcorn I was still stuffed from something I don't know what

[00:32:04] all I did all we did is eat while I was in Ontario nice you look a little fatter I would say oh no but then you just had explosive diarrhea for the last yeah well you should have seen me before I had the explosive diarrhea I was like

[00:32:15] bloated I was bloated well it's good thing that you came back I got some sweats I almost got my trim figure back I need to I need to work a little harder here and then it was back to normal all right

[00:32:26] well let me tell you what I thought of did I say this was a rage I don't even know did I it was implied so just I just like to repeat that this was a rage like this movie was so bad that I'm like

[00:32:37] ah crap I got to rework my worst movies of the year now because this is definitely in the top five this one nothing could ever catch the number one movie of this is a this is a spoiler it didn't make my

[00:32:49] worst five I'm gonna say it because one of the movies one of the movies that you like didn't make your top 10 though of no because we didn't have ten rages it's not in my list oh that's what

[00:33:00] say is in your mondo less I don't know what it is yet well that's because you won't shut the fuck up so okay so after seeing the trailer yes which looked like this could be the worst superhero film

[00:33:12] ever made but then I thought how could anything be worse than the last Thor movie or black atom or god forbid the last ant man or the marvel wait what about Morbius and there's just and the marvels

[00:33:28] there's just so many things that I could list off about all the terror oh and the blue beetle family no it was not it was this was it was this one it was as much family as this piece of garbage

[00:33:39] the guy came after his family this had this had everything awful about super terrible this family it had the worst CGI especially underwater CGI the set design was terrible the music mix was awful the force like powers and Star Wars like plot

[00:33:57] themes a buddy brother story concept and the entire plot is based on a supervillain and their only goal for destroying the planet was to kill fucking Aquaman come on this is like this is like they're just scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel

[00:34:15] oh but I also mentioned that the acting this was the worst acting of any superhero movie that's ever been you all know Aquaman the comic and original tv show made Aquaman my favorite superhero but James Wan made this Aquaman movie possibly the worst superhero movie

[00:34:37] ever made and just like pretty much every superhero movie now this was an extreme rage and I have an unpacking to do which also makes me rage I actually have said this to Bryce okay okay okay can we stop having every

[00:34:56] black character be the villain in these fucking movies like are they trying to spin some kind of awful subplot that the black people are all all of a sudden villains like he could have been anybody else in this movie and and they've been planting them

[00:35:13] time after time lately of always just finding a way to put black characters in movies that are villains now it's like come on is that me or no this is actually starting to happen there's

[00:35:26] seems to be a bit of a trend as of late yeah and the last two movies that did that were terrible so apparently stop doing that just put black actors in films and make them good again blue beetle had a white white person wasn't that Susan Sarandon yes

[00:35:42] she was not she had a black sidekick I don't remember do you remember her her terrible I'm not saying it wasn't terrible I'm just saying she was a black remember her Portuguese accent but she puts Portuguese yeah I mean she was like it's like a

[00:35:58] adoption thing yeah this movie that movie was terrible yeah and unfortunately it didn't make my worst five but others will let me tell you all right bracey would you think of poor things poor things the latest from your gross

[00:36:17] length the most the man that can just literally do no wrong this is one of the most visionary directors walk in the face of the earth right now I am so excited every time I see a movie of his coming out because I know for a fact

[00:36:35] that'll be like nothing I've ever seen before and it will be so enjoyable and once again I was clairvoyant this was just so so so so good I was in absolute glee I was not feeling it my best when I watched this movie

[00:36:58] and I tell you the cure for diarrhea is a Yorgo Lathamose movie because there was no way I was getting out of that seat I wasn't going to miss a frame of this and I was just fine I was so happy watching this

[00:37:11] and I tell you Mark Ruffalo thank you for for being in this movie for absolutely proving once again that you are one of the finest actors walk in the face of the earth I mean you're no Ben Affleck but I digress

[00:37:30] uh Emma Stone Emma Stone was so good Willem Dafoe my goodness I mean just back to his willem Dafoe it's just everybody was so good and this guy just makes the most stunning stunning visuals and just so funny and so poignant

[00:37:53] and I just love love love these movies that he makes this movie was Mondo this guy's becoming maybe my favorite director like of all time because I literally I I he just blows me away every time he puts a movie on

[00:38:12] like literally the killing of a sacred deer I've said in the past one of my favorite movies of all time and this one's almost that good in fact it might be that good I'm not sure I gotta watch it both back to back but my goodness this guy's

[00:38:26] talented like it's stupid talented so yeah poor poor things was Mondo every performance was spot on there's not a wasted piece of film in this the music how good was the music oh yeah oh it just took I just love this movie I can't say enough about it

[00:38:46] all right well let me tell you what I thought of this movie yes so imagine Frankenstein whores herself through Wonderland and then through the land of Oz yes where Emma Stone's character starts out from the mind of a child into a woman of enlightenment

[00:39:04] where the sets are magnificent with imagery of the future in the past all wrapped up together where our undoubted and marvelous Emma Stone is pretty much nude for at least a quarter of the movie this truly is full of enlightenment and awe and discovery

[00:39:26] it's almost two and a half hours of what the fuck is going to happen next we all know your ghost Lanthimos is a vivid mind but this is by far his most brilliant and fantastic vision yet in my opinion I

[00:39:43] think he's he's always had this vision that is is unique and fantastical but this this took him to a whole other level like this had like you think of some of his other movies like Lobster or Dogdogtooth right um like the he was constrained with budgets I

[00:40:04] think this he it looks like he had no budget constraints no and it was just that's what that's what you know I think that the the movie that did it for him was the favorite I was such a success

[00:40:15] such a claim and you know Olivia Coleman one for best actress and you know and that's why they got to faith this movie and and yeah he's been he's gotta be making this yeah in a long time and you know what I have to say Marie you know

[00:40:29] my hatred of Mark Ruffalo he was brilliant in this like I have never said that about Mark Ruffalo ever in fact I think Mark Ruffalo in most movies other than still being Mr. Potato because that's 99% of his acting

[00:40:43] that's in this I cannot imagine anybody who could have done this better and I I am not afraid to say when someone is doing better work and his best performance he's ever been in by far he's a fine thespian no he's not accept this movie

[00:41:03] he has one movie that he's a thespian all the rest he's a motherfucking potato so what you're saying is he's a Mark Ruffalo he's made one movie that he's good in might make the mesmerizing list no he is never going to make the best price

[00:41:18] because I remember all of these movies I'm just trying to read between the lines you think Mark Ruffalo is mesmerizing I do oh my god there you go nice just the worst actor okay well let's talk about iron claw

[00:41:39] yeah story of the Vaughn Erics now you know I don't like sports movies or biopics right but what I do like is Zach Efron's righted up beefy body where he's half nude and oily for over

[00:41:57] two hours yeah yeah I knew nothing about the Vaughn Erics going into this but damn they got some curse on that like holy fuck that whole thing I barely know who they are but I knew exactly

[00:42:14] there was a curse yeah they had some bad luck the casting in this was outstanding and seeing my man Zach give the performance of his life was so rewarding the direction style was pretty well

[00:42:26] done also I liked the way he approached each of the brothers and gave them a powerful identity and the love they had as brothers really came through this was working so hard to get that covenant

[00:42:40] and almost impossible biopic mondo but also it was too long and the last half of the film kind of fell apart so Zach is still one of my main man crushes but the Vaughn Erics are still cursed

[00:42:56] as they cannot get anything higher than a man yes there you go yeah I was like this is one of those movies where I wish I wasn't as familiar with the story because sometimes when you're super familiar with everything that's going on you see the actual people wrestle

[00:43:13] well it's not even that it's it's more the like the actual you know story of what happened to them and how the brothers all the different brothers died and the timeline of things that

[00:43:23] happened and sometimes that takes you out of a movie and I think I would have enjoyed this more had I not known everything yeah because there's some like you know there's timelines with you

[00:43:35] know where where Kerry lost his foot and where it's like okay well that didn't really happen at that point and you're kind of leading me to believe that that's why something else happened

[00:43:45] and that's not really what happened yeah so then you're sitting there going over that in your head well you should be just kicking back and enjoying what's in front of you um still performances

[00:43:54] by everybody in this would be good wasn't Efron amazing Efron was amazing um it was it was really really good yeah but it wasn't Mondo did you not find that it fell apart in the second half

[00:44:09] and that and that's part of it the other thing is I felt like there was a lot of and it's hard because there was a lot of story to tell and it was hard to tell it in a condensed and

[00:44:20] it almost should have been like two movies yes I agree because there's so much that happened to these guys that some of the stuff that that probably should have been maybe extended a little bit

[00:44:31] yeah rushed I felt that exact there was stuff that was like rushed and then other other scenes that kind of meandered on too long and it's like it had a weird pacing to it yeah and it's

[00:44:41] because they were trying to get everything into this this you know into this concise little concise little package and it was still too long yeah it was so it's like it's what do you do when

[00:44:51] you got this much story like I feel for the writers and the director and it like I don't know what you do other than make you know and you're not going to make iron claw part one and iron

[00:45:00] claw part two but they're kind of handcuffed and also like this is going to be like Zac Efron's only opportunity so far in his career where he could potentially get an awards nomination from somebody yeah and honestly who knows it could be me Murray for this this this

[00:45:19] year who knows I tell you and it wouldn't shock me if you got some nominations for this because he was so good in it he was so good um and this was you know and this was a really really

[00:45:28] good movie but because of the because of all the things that I that I pointed out there it was meh but I I really enjoyed it yeah I did as I say I think I would have enjoyed it more had I

[00:45:38] not known so much about it where you're sitting there picking things apart where you're like you know why am I picking this apart but you can't help it well but even if you didn't pick it apart

[00:45:46] yeah the story falls apart in the in the back and that's what that's that's what happened to me in so many biopic so I mean Bohemian rhapsody I'm like why are they messing with the

[00:45:54] timeline just tell the same thing I know a damn thing about and I enjoyed playing me rapsy I didn't know history yeah well you didn't enjoy it very much they did some convenient things in that

[00:46:04] well he did that that I actually thought he'd pretty good in he did I will give uh what okay wait a minute stop the presses no no in that one role he actually did very well and I he was this is a

[00:46:19] this is a film range first people every other movie that he was ever in what we're both knowing we're both having a moment here at any rate I really really like the iron

[00:46:32] claw it was man okay well seeing as how I was the only one to see the couple color of purple musical the casting in this was that's fantastic that's what made me think that this might be

[00:46:50] good because yes I'm looking at the cast is it like just when you watch the trailer and they're putting up the names I'm like yeah crap this is this should be good the singing was also fantastic

[00:47:02] and whoopie Goldberg's performance in both of these films was doubly fantastic yes she was she played a very small bit part but she was in it who else she also stored stole the show

[00:47:16] what wasn't fantastic was that they took a pretty amazing story okay and remade it into a musical where like pretty much everything musical has songs that are dumb and not required plus all the dancing for no apparent reason also basically every major powerful scene from the original

[00:47:38] was redone in a worse way including adding scenes that weren't needed and took out a lot of what made the original so bleak and powerful for audiences to see the amount of sorrow one woman could have

[00:47:52] upon herself if you like musicals and you have never seen the original then maybe you will like this movie but I rewatched the color purple before seeing this film and no it didn't need to be musicalized or remade just just re-release it again and remaster some of it

[00:48:17] so sorry Spielberg just stop remaking things into musicals or remaking musicals into other musicals this movie was so awful and terrible it is probably one of the worst ranges of this year

[00:48:32] it was so awful but even the poster says it's a bold new take on the below it's not a bold new take isn't it the central west side story yeah you know what I'm actually gonna I'm actually gonna

[00:48:41] quote my wife because I had really forced her to see some movies because Bryce was away and Murray's poor so um I had to take my wife to this and and you know she kind of summed it up I think

[00:48:53] the best so I'm stealing Manik's voice here all right that she basically said that they because we both watched both both films back together um that they they kind of stalled the

[00:49:04] heart of the film in this one because when things would get tumultuous or or you should be feeling more emotion they'd put in a song and it kind of takes you out of the fact that you know someone

[00:49:16] should be dying right now or you know someone's being somebody's being raped right now so let's wonka let's sing about it let's sing about it either whatever no because the color purple

[00:49:28] isn't a family friendly move it's depressing and that's the way it needs to be that problem they tried to disney fire yeah they did they totally disney fired it up like this the movie was not

[00:49:40] good I did not like it but I did like the acting yep Coleman Domingo was love Coleman was freaking amazing yeah um what's his name um Lou Gossick Jr is amazing he was still alive yeah he was amazing

[00:49:57] whoopee was amazing in the small bit that she had like every single person the casting was really done well to replace and even uh um Fantasia yeah who's a who's a singer by trade um did a pretty

[00:50:12] strong I mean Daniel Brooks you can't compare to like whoopee Goldberg's performance in this film in the original was so incredible like when you've know when you know her and then you see

[00:50:26] this movie you're like I feel sorry for you Fantasia but she she did a really good job I sing what it was so yeah the movies are rage all the acting was great the songs were terrible

[00:50:37] I'm in a store and I'm buying a potato it's like fuck off like we don't need those songs just stop it is that a song I'm in a store buying a potato I don't know it was a potato or a bag of flour

[00:50:50] they were slaves you probably didn't have any money to buy potatoes with no no these the if you've never seen the color purple they they came across like they had money and

[00:50:59] they had a lot more money in this movie than they did in the original but uh yeah nope they could afford potatoes I wish I could have just grow them yeah well that's a whole other

[00:51:12] story just saying they were maybe culture well they did have that too grow potatoes it is a bit of a country area yeah yeah all right let's talk about some italians what's the matter for you

[00:51:26] bricey that's a spicy meatball what do you think of Ferrari I thought it was a spicy meatball it was a bit of a spicy meatball ah so we gotta suffer through Adam driver doing another bad italian

[00:51:39] accent just like we had to do with Gucci except Gucci was really quite good um shaleen woodley I thought was playing an american in this I've been been born that that Lena lardy is actually

[00:51:52] not an american that she's supposed to be italian which I'm very confused by because there wasn't even an attempt to do an attempt I guess I can respect that that she didn't even

[00:52:03] attempt to do an italian accent well you know my belief on that if they're all speaking italian they wouldn't have an accent so but but half the people did the people didn't so there you go

[00:52:15] so yeah there was a lot of car racing which you'd know I just absolutely love for there was just I have to it was very very long but oh there's a but Penelope cruise okay just just absolutely

[00:52:36] blows me away every time I remember 25 years ago maybe not long ago I hated her I did like I'm like oh god tell Penelope cruises in this movie she's gonna be annoying and she was

[00:52:51] for the longest time she was doing Tom Cruise movies possibly I don't know she was in a bunch of crap she was also when she was also in some good movies and she was crap and now she's quickly

[00:53:02] becoming like my favorite actress working today I love Penelope cruise right now it's out there it's out in sphiber space now people everything she does lately is interesting she always puts a spin on the performance that I didn't expect yep and in this case

[00:53:26] she made this movie so watchable because every time she was on screen I was like yes okay I'm in again I got taken out when every two she wasn't on screen but then boom laser focused

[00:53:39] as soon as well we could he's not about her and she did not disappoint in any scene she was so amazing I you know she couldn't save the movie for me and don't get me wrong this wasn't a terrible movie

[00:53:54] it was mad the whole way through tell them but but Penelope cruise made this enjoyable beyond a map for me but it's still a man movie because I can't just but man how good was Penelope

[00:54:08] like it wasn't just me right well let me okay let me tell you how what I thought of Ferrari all right are you ready for this this is my first line the first line yes this film should have been

[00:54:21] called yes Penelope Cruises Ferrari there you go it should have been it should have been Ferrari it should have been Laura it's in black even right right there even though her Spanish accent

[00:54:35] still wasn't Italian it was still more Italian than anyone else in this film plus she proves as well that in addition to when she is in a Spanish film where she is completely mesmerizing

[00:54:49] that if she is speaking English in a film where she's supposed to have an Italian accent she can also be mesmerizing so good that's like half of my review right it's all about Penelope

[00:55:03] Cruises if you it is if you like watching classic worth watching other than her if you like watching classic Ferrari racing for an entire movie in between watching Adam Driver using the worst and

[00:55:16] inconsistent Italian accent oh god that you will love this movie you think you'd get practice after Kosic Gucci I know you think he would have an acting or a voice coach it's a biopic

[00:55:27] and for the most of it it was too long and boring until we get halfway through it the race scenes were kind of cool as was the car crashes but the story I think didn't tell enough about Ferrari

[00:55:40] stop making English speaking Italian films just make an Italian film about Ferrari I was able to keep this a myth mostly because of Penelope Cruises and it wasn't completely terrible mostly again I might say because of Penelope and the car crashes see see here

[00:56:04] mostly because of Penelope and the car crash by mostly because of Penelope yeah like she is fucking brilliant in this so so good yeah like people should just see this if she doesn't win a

[00:56:18] awesome I'm not going to say the word loud out some kind of award yes she needs to be the Penelope Cruz Award but you know we had discussions about her last year because you

[00:56:29] know what we've found is when she's in an English speaking movie she picks bad choices when she's picks a Spanish film they're freaking amazing and so is she on that like to remind you of some years

[00:56:41] that you did not like that she was in yes okay please tell me working back and these were it was in the last 10 or so okay really on your list okay yep the 355 yeah that was

[00:56:53] terrible she was in that that was awful yeah yeah but she was the best thing in it murder on the Orient Express yeah but she was also the best thing in that yeah Grimsby that's my favorite movie

[00:57:04] of all time so what a Zoolander 2 she's also brilliant in that sex in the city I don't I don't remember that and nine which had singing in it yeah well it doesn't mean that Penelope wasn't

[00:57:19] the best thing in all those movies except for Grimsby which is just a amazing movie all right then got it and then there yeah and then there was one and then there was one on a

[00:57:32] boat why are we doing this one last by the way was there is this the order that I put it out I screwed down and away it went because it just came out this week no it came out so it came

[00:57:44] out like I don't know Friday but yeah it was so this is so it saved Rosemary Clooney's nephew's movie for the very end the one movie that I said of everything that I saw I was most afraid of

[00:57:57] seeing this movie yes I was really hoping I was going to get the story of silken lalman but she is a woman in a boat and one of my only athletic heroes to ever exist yes

[00:58:12] silken lalman is my favorite rower I freaking love her so this wasn't a boat it was not about silken lalman I like that adam vander what's his name yeah and er van der hoeven havin yeah

[00:58:26] this one is another rah rah american underdog story with all the usual sports movie tropes you can expect like training montages about football too Burgess Meredith like father figure and as

[00:58:41] always in sports movies you get either a rocky one or a rocky two ending in this we get rocky two ending the difference in this film though over other sports movies that are also predictable

[00:58:57] sports movies is that it kind of created characters that had a little more depth than usual but still produce the same feelings george cluny was probably looking for as rosemary cluny's nephew

[00:59:11] as I will now be calling the boys on the boat or miracle on water except I didn't super hate this I really didn't super hate it but believe me I fully expected to hate it I really wanted to

[00:59:27] hate it I went to this going I am totally gonna make myself hate this film and then I didn't because the characters were very endearing in this yeah well but it was too long yeah it was a man

[00:59:41] and that's saying something for a sports movie that is saying good work your gay yes rosemary cluny's nephew yeah he um you know you can't make a sports biopic period piece film without having all the same tropes but um he really did he really did capture

[01:00:04] the characters of it so and then it made me it made me want to go in and watch the and watch the biography about it this to me look just like a water version of leather heads yeah yeah there you go

[01:00:19] 100% 100% I would hate it all right we should probably pause for commercial identification I didn't go eight for eight I was hoping you did pretty good Murr this was your

[01:00:30] that's all the one I missed I mean we had eight films this week so that's a lot and I got seven of them I'm nice yours yeah I know because I know you think you missed a couple of mine yeah but you

[01:00:41] didn't see all of them so I still I still went over par yeah you did he was batting over 500 I know that's something baseball better than half now okay all right now we're moving into

[01:00:59] retrospective from 2023 it was a year 2023 was it was a year I like this new music this is the Mondo 10 rage 5 sure all right um do you want to start with our uh our film rage awards

[01:01:26] uh really I thought I was at the end I'll leave it at the end that doesn't matter to me uh who wants to go first says here Bryce all right Bryce you go first do it in the order

[01:01:37] that you've got here Jim I don't know why you're trying to freestyle all I like free styling if he's ready I'm not wearing any underpants either in case you noticed all right just trying to get

[01:01:47] my dog to stop chewing on the court the electrical court yeah stop stop putting butter on your because we took all the paper away from reachable range where yeah he was eating the paper before

[01:02:02] that all right at any rate uh do what are we doing oh rages rage five all right so how many of us are supposed to have is like a five and three runner ups five and five got it five and three

[01:02:18] runner ups Murray's got your mute so so at the end of eight he's gonna mute you so no one will know your top two I don't need to you know what I'm not going to talk about my runner ups too much

[01:02:30] all right at all actually okay there was sound of freedom the sun Jesus revolution no hard feelings and mission impossible dead reckoning part one that's all of them yeah it's five you have to say

[01:02:43] wait that was your runner up that was my runner ups oh right yeah so yeah snuck him in there nobody muted me yeah by the way no hard feelings was so god awful I can't still can't believe that you

[01:02:54] guys liked it I didn't like it I think you met it no okay no married and mission impossible dead reckoning was a just a piece of dog it was a mondo but whatever revolution was horrible

[01:03:07] at anyway let's get on to the main event the was in my mondo list there you go the rage five the first of a number five is the movie that bumped sound of freedom out of the top five

[01:03:19] which was my number five because sound of freedom was such a misfire but yeah that would be Aquaman in the lost kingdom it was terrible for all the reasons that I just mentioned earlier in the podcast so you can go back and listen again if you missed it

[01:03:37] expendables four would be number four um it's the movie that for some reason they decided that if you win something from Sylvester Stallone you deserve to die even though he gambled with you and

[01:03:59] lost that's right because he gambled and lost it's okay to murder him to murder you yeah that's right and then laugh about it yep I don't understand what what what what what what did society come to

[01:04:14] that was just insane I get if they were like I I don't get it at all no I don't get it I didn't get plus it had just just terrible special effects just the worst acting ever like once again Dolph Lundgren's just got a stop

[01:04:30] number three Indiana Jones in the dial of destiny watching CGI Harrison Ford was almost as painful as watching old Harrison Ford I mean you got both in this movie and they're both terrible they're both just so terrible yep this movie did not

[01:04:45] a medium round yeah medium round uh number two worst movie of the year about my father a stand-up routine that that is not funny gets the full length feature treatment and guess what it still wasn't funny Joe Joe Casca Pocopalo or whatever the hell his name is

[01:05:09] okay whatever his name is needs to not make movies this was so awful he is not funny he I hope I don't want to see him on the big screen ever again at least if he's doing a stand-up

[01:05:21] people that like it stand up can go do a stand-up he's on the big screen I'm gonna end up seeing the stupid movie and I just can't take it anymore because that was I can't believe how bad that thing

[01:05:32] was I thought Robert De Niro couldn't do anything worse than like what he's been doing for the last few years I mean holy crap war with grandpa look like a freaking masterpiece compared to this thing

[01:05:47] remember he was in that movie that was also came out recently something about killer moons something that you like yes no we didn't that's no we hate oh we did not like how that didn't make

[01:05:57] your top five I don't know I almost did I mean it was it was a it was close to the runners of the shortlist um there's always hope is the worst movie of the year coal mini this was the most

[01:06:10] painful experience that I've had at the cinema in years I forgot about that cineplex produced oh god I forgot about that this was one of the most worst movies maybe like ever like I literally

[01:06:22] couldn't sit in my seat that was the best movie I got up and like started walking around and there was muttering to myself like a freaking insane person it was the only three in the theater

[01:06:32] and Bryce got up and started walking around I'm like what is going on I was screaming at the screen because I'm like how can this be a movie like who will who green lit this thing

[01:06:43] cineplex it was so I I can't I still can't believe that that got made the acting that was one of the funnest experience experience I ever had yeah me too I just I was beside myself like I was

[01:06:58] let's I just couldn't control it like I like I'm like what is going on this isn't a movie it was the best movie going experience for me and Murray anyway so that's why I didn't make my bottom

[01:07:10] there's always hope I forgot about it was by the way this movie was actually made in like 2020 and just sat on the shelf for like ever been and for some reason they said well it's the pandemic

[01:07:24] it's we're coming out of it we need to we need something new on the screen it's the Hollywood straight yeah well that was that what I was wow that was there in the can mess will release it

[01:07:34] yeah well that could have been released and then yeah it was it was god awful like it was such garbage I just I still can't believe that I ended up watching it on a big screen like this was

[01:07:47] yeah it was the only thing I think we could watch that week too so yeah I was I was not it was one of the it was one of those ones that the movie was so terrible but it made the experience

[01:07:57] so much fun for me yeah yeah I did not have the same experience well your list was all pretty terrible I have to admit those were all rages I think for me too except for the Tom Cruise

[01:08:06] movie which was a Mondo so I was on my oh dishonorable mentions all right let's hear it I had no honorable mentions or runner-up you only got five because you didn't hate enough we saw like 20 movies this year that's right yeah um Renfield absolutely destroyed I love that

[01:08:30] my classic Dracula theory like that was my dad was when I stopped liking Nick Cage oh so I love him again I used to like him and no matter how wacky he was but that just a necklace and I hated pig but

[01:08:44] this was worse this is his worst performance ever and aqua fina who else at all like what never have that makes no sense there's somebody who's not out you are just saying silly things screen I'll see your mask alco and raise you in aqua fina whatever either

[01:09:05] number four which you guys both love yes which I seriously couldn't even oh is it spider man okay what was it a marine oh so good apologies to the Edmonton oh so creepy and that was one of

[01:09:19] the worst things I saw last just you said it and I got to chill no I didn't I was bored oh you need to okay you know what was there you know we should do after the past after the

[01:09:28] podcast of the walls and the ceilings after the podcast we should shut off all the lights and watch it in that way that I'm leaving oh it's so good only way to watch it is in your basement

[01:09:40] and then at least if you guys are here I'll have somebody to hold when I'm like creeped out you guys do that didn't creep me out at all what I just got bored oh my goodness all right

[01:09:50] next up Winnie the blue oh yeah and I wanted to like this it was an experience it was like a dark horror version of beloved children's dad but yeah it was terrible it was an experience

[01:10:03] uh am I next two not surprisingly our superhero movies I should have had all five on here at superhero I would say surprisingly are rather than not surprising I didn't hate every superhero

[01:10:14] movie just these two were the worst okay two was blue beetle yeah I liked it oh my god it was so bad I'm on team Murray here so bad so bad family it was so yeah DC hasn't made a decent superhero movie in

[01:10:29] the last few years yeah I had high hopes for DC and they kind of dropped the ball maybe thankfully or maybe now because I don't give a shit anymore but the guy the gun who made the the

[01:10:42] guardians movies is basically rebooted everything so that's the last awkward man last wonder woman last batman which is good they're all being recast nice well they're not going to recast batman are

[01:10:54] they there's a new superman coming in but they've got the best batman ever right now he's not Robert Pattinson yeah probably neither who flak Pattinson is doing another one by the way

[01:11:06] good but anyway I mean the last one was terrible the beetle was terrible and I knew it was going to be terrible and I shouldn't even come to it and of course number one or the bullet ant man

[01:11:16] quantum mania oh I love my Michelle Pfeiffer and she even she couldn't save it central character of this wasn't even him it was her uh it was Kang most ridiculous character I've ever seen

[01:11:30] and he wasn't very super I am beyond elated that Disney fired his ass I don't want to see him act as Kang ever again I don't care if you recast somebody else he was I never liked that man

[01:11:44] period now you hate it even worse actually ironically the sci-fi network which was on free preview showed like the two weeks of superhero movies so much ant man and I watched them all except

[01:12:00] and and the iron man and black panther there you go I watched everything else because like I just couldn't I can't do it but yeah why were you punishing yourself because I was broken I was at

[01:12:12] home panthers fine yeah they're all man the only thing good about black panther was Martin Freeman there's a lot of good about the original black panther yeah I didn't like Wakanda forever mean the first one was very good all right here's my dishonorable mentions and I have three

[01:12:28] because I follow the rules and I'm not looking for exceptions like Bryce does all the time my third worst in the dishonorable mention is the marvels which really made me angry that

[01:12:41] the only way you could watch that movie and get anything out of it is if you watched every other marvel Disney thing ever created before it was terrible now they got this new thing coming out

[01:12:51] of that I gotta watch too because the only reason I'm gonna watch is so that I'm not completely lost the movies it's the frickin disney plus crap that's what I'm talking about there's a series

[01:13:01] coming out now in the end like before with the Avengers and all those other ones yeah they have a little teaser at the end of the movie teasing the next one yep but now it's

[01:13:12] characters you don't even know who the hell they are yeah and I don't care because I don't want to who the hell saw Hawkeye and whatever I did now they have characters from that I love Jeremy

[01:13:22] Renner but that's besides the point the worst thing of in my dishonorable mentions isn't even near come yet all right but just above the marvels in terrible yes was Meg too which was so

[01:13:37] terrible it was like I love shark movies but why why did they make that I love the first one it was eating everybody that's right and this one it was terrible it was like Jurassic Park to

[01:13:50] meet yeah to meet the shark man killing it's terrible now this is one you guys didn't see this is one that I took a bullet for the team one week when you guys didn't go see but the movie zombie town

[01:14:00] that was was filmed in Canada and had some of the kids in the hall in it was so completely awful it's it's definitely unwatchable so it will be something in my dare bag for Bryce to watch in

[01:14:14] the future you can predict that oh and he will he will absolutely hate it oh I like I like Bruce McCullough yeah he's awesome except in this movie talented of this kid's not I would say that he's

[01:14:28] maybe they're all they're all equally talented I think he's probably I would say he's the most talented all right well number five is haunted I would say Dave Foley's the least talented haunted mansion why that didn't make any of your guys's list is beyond me lucky you

[01:14:45] yeah it was the original was terrible it's a fact that it's a remake was also terrible these are still your dishonorable mention no that's an actual number five with a bullet number four is Murray's

[01:14:56] first is ant man in the wasp quantimania okay because it was so ridiculously awful it was pretty bad but you know yeah it was in the top five wasn't the worst number three was another movie by

[01:15:11] Adam driver yes 65 probably the worst movie that's ever been made yet had the best CGI ever made it was it wasn't that bad it was what are you talking about it was the dumbest terrible there

[01:15:25] wasn't it wasn't no everything happened in I agree that all the movies that you've said so far bad but they're not bad bad oh no they're 65 was extremely bad it's pretty bad it was way

[01:15:38] back make the worst of the year list back no it was I absolutely hated it it was everything about it was convenient to get to the next scene it was like who wrote this piece

[01:15:48] of crap but number two is a franchise that should have died many many many many years ago Indiana Jones and the dial of destiny see that I remember to it probably should have been number

[01:16:02] one except there happened to be another franchise that bumped it out and that's exportables which is probably the dumbest movie the worst acting and the most awful action movie I've ever seen in my life I thought it was the biggest piece of garbage it's ever been produced

[01:16:21] exportables was my biggest rage of the year sure enough I can't disagree with your top two everything else so I'm like hey or they were bad they were they were all that bad oh well you

[01:16:35] know what your number one Murray and I had the best time in the theater that we've ever had so apparently yours is dumb too so at least every single one on my list is also on your rage list

[01:16:48] yeah if I think so yeah they were 100% yeah that's true so shut the fuck up I'll buy that for a dollar I got my god for a dollar all right now we're getting to the good stuff all right Murray the

[01:17:00] Mondo best movies of the year nothing but Mondos from here on in well like I said I didn't see a whole lot of movies so you saw enough that you got 10 Mondos top 10 was little down from 15

[01:17:15] wait that's pretty good numbers for I didn't even remember what the hell the other ones I left off all right whatever I guess I would give one on real mention yes let's have it have one bottoms

[01:17:26] oh yeah I love I actually quite enjoyed that move that was super awesome lesbian fight club are you getting yeah lesbian fight club I'm on board number 10 which I don't remember actually liking

[01:17:38] but apparently even a Mondo Amanda oh Amanda was excellent yeah yeah yeah I love I think you previewed that and then you told us we should watch it yeah it was seeing there's a cuff thing and I previewed

[01:17:51] it and then I saw it at cuff yeah I showed it but yeah so much Amanda it's so good it was so good yep number nine you're not gonna like I already don't like it he's not gonna like okay mission impossible

[01:18:03] oh dead red that's a mom for sure yeah too super no actually it came out the same time as barben hammer yeah barben hammer so totally got destroyed by those two movies yeah so it got overlooked it still

[01:18:18] made its money back and there's still gonna be a part two both those movies are 20 times a thousand times better like a week or two before that it might have been a little better because yeah it got

[01:18:28] released the same weekend basically well except I gave I gave Barbie a man released the same weekend those Barbie and Ken Barbie and oftenheimer got released on the same weekend and did and mission

[01:18:42] impossible I think was like the week before might have been the week before yeah so yeah I did get as many eyeballs they probably should have but anyway got my very favorite character in it who

[01:18:51] they killed off nice I don't know how I'm gonna enjoy the second one well maybe I don't should be come back there we agree I don't know how I'm gonna enjoy the second one either Murray

[01:19:00] we agree again but the final scene the motorcycle jumping off the cliff yes terrible was in Norway fantastic it was a real stunt and it was done in Norway so there nice uh number eight

[01:19:13] yes made a lot of people's rage list okay last voyage of the demeanor oh it was okay sorry a Dracula movie the way it should have been done yeah there's lots of creepy and scary yeah I

[01:19:26] absolutely loved it it was a high man it was good number nine yes yeah I liked Barbie how can you know I said I never played with Barbies I never had Barbies didn't have any

[01:19:36] oh I played with Barbies girl cousins but yeah uh this almost maybe we want to buy a Barbie almost and of course you got you got the the Canadian one two punch yep the gosling Michael

[01:19:49] Sarah yeah oh see three of them yeah don't forget Michael Sarah the mesmerizing and undoubtedly he was he wasn't a can he was whatever he's Alan it was Alan he's the best thing in the movie he's just

[01:20:00] Alan what do you have to do two cans the one two oh Alan was so funny yep I love Alan Ryan Gosling is just enough I can't get it if they would have Michael more Michael Seren it

[01:20:10] might have made it to a Mondo for me number six was a Mando I love that the only superhero movies I liked what the flash oh yeah there was a good flash was so good bad reviews but

[01:20:22] what are the fuck do they know Michael Keaton hey that's the fucking Batman ever what do you know no he was in the movie with the best story and I'm not talking George Clooney

[01:20:33] well that was the other good part who might out in my spoiler now yes spoiler okay at the end when the flash comes back to his his universe or whatever it is and he's outside the courtyard

[01:20:44] or something they'll then you know the fancy car pulls up and you think it's Bruce Wayne and it's fucking George Clooney yeah that was so funny that would be Rosemary Clooney's nephew for those of you are wondering who George Clooney is thought he was going to be

[01:20:59] the bat fleck and it was and it was George Clooney it was Rosemary Clooney's nephew he wrote him out of the movie yes they didn't write him out anything because he's so terrible best part he's the best but yes I love the flash undoubted nice although Batman ever

[01:21:14] as for what's his name is a train wreck and yeah goodbye the fly the one of the um number five uh czu it was so good yeah it was a lot of fun war two it was you know got got kicking ass

[01:22:38] she did some singing in it too I was not I love Florence Florence one which is on the list I don't know why it's on 2023 his list because I saw it in 2022 but I took advantage of it is the whale

[01:22:50] there you go still the best movie I've seen the last year almost last year yeah but we watched it this year 2023's list yep I know I did a sir because we reviewed it on 2023 so I've been he's he's taking advantage

[01:23:04] of all right go ahead oh but and by the way the bad fleck ruined another one of my favorite movies nice I forgot he was in it oh you're talking about I watched it because the movie channels were

[01:23:15] also in free previews oh yeah school ties there you go brennan frazier's best movies there you go we got that movie was Damon and nothing to do with a we had Damon and Affleck in it and the scene that I saw

[01:23:28] nice like I had his shirt off and I'm like what the hell who wants to see that exactly and Matt Damon played the bad guy why why why how did we get to talking about school ties I never loved it

[01:23:40] because it's Brendan Frazier yeah it was one of my top five movies of all time but the way I was top five Brendan for there's only one good well too and see no man in the whale that's start and

[01:23:53] end of the list right there Georgia the jungle come on monkey bone monkey bone so good about Harvard I love that one too yeah exactly that was a great list murder it used to be school ties

[01:24:08] then I yeah with honors then I found out that Ben Affleck was in school ties now I can't even know he can't even make sense to me anyway that's a reason for me not to watch a movie also

[01:24:24] all right strap yourself in boys and girls because um one thing to know about my list okay I really put thought into transformative films for me personally okay and so there is there is one

[01:24:43] tie in here but that's because we allowed one tie yeah I didn't because I follow the rules Jim that doesn't even sound like you so my number depending on how you look at this I follow

[01:24:55] the rules but go yeah yeah yeah you got me the clamp of here uh okay so my number five honorable mentioned yeah you didn't I already know you didn't oh I did so the honorable mention number five

[01:25:11] is birth rebirth the first feature film debut from Laura Moss this film is brilliant brilliant we got to meet her personally and she's such an awesome person and this film is brilliant it's also playing on shutter don't thank you uh number four the movie that put Kelly Reinhart

[01:25:36] Reinhart onto the undoubted list is showing up yeah we saw this at a film festival as well if you haven't seen it and you haven't seen all of Kelly Reinhart's films please go see them all

[01:25:47] because they're all Mondo yes number three the boy and the heron which for me this from last year's animation it was funny because this actually bumped out the spiderverse because I had that they had

[01:26:04] that on my list it was the number five I almost get down on a rage yeah I know you didn't like it I'll put it on my list but for me the animation was brilliant this is this is transformative animation

[01:26:18] number two in my runner-ups honorable mention is asteroid city Wes Anderson at his most Wes Anderson of all time he was very Wes Anderson he was super Wes Anderson he it was like Wes Anderson

[01:26:34] inception ising himself like Wes Anderson like inside a it's like Wes Anderson inside Wes Anderson inside Wes Anderson it was so good number one of my honorable mentions is Adam McGoyan's offering which also I think put him on the undoubted list was Seven Veils which

[01:26:56] who could think that you could have a play an opera and a movie all in one big thing and Adam McGoyan just seemed to do it he also is an amazing person we got to meet him at one of the film

[01:27:06] festivals so yeah that was cool people should all go watch all of Adam McGoyan's films okay the top 10 number 10 he was as tall as I expected that he was exactly but you're seven feet but you're

[01:27:17] all yeah you're like short for you that's right I didn't say you're like the jolly green giant but number ten Jim and I are normal height that's right human height as I don't know everybody in my

[01:27:29] family was like a taller than me so you're like giants whatever they might be giants boys number 10 still a Michael J Fox movie really directed by Davis Guggenheim the director who's very experienced who also did it might get loud that was a very good movie I'm suppressing

[01:27:51] your top 10 but yes I don't blame you and be prepared I may be talking about this movie later I'm just gonna say number nine is infinity pool baby Cronenberg making sci-fi horror like no one

[01:28:07] else is doing a journey so worth taking this film took me to places I never thought I would have ever get to go he just continues to get better every time he releases a movie I think nobody's

[01:28:20] doing science fiction the way baby Cronenberg does I freaking love him and I loved infinity pool James James what you doing James also the most deliciously mesmerizing me got number eight is a tie and I put them together most because I couldn't decide which one I like better

[01:28:45] but also they're both imagination run wild to dream like states and acting by two of the greatest actors working today bow is afraid and poor things because we got to see poor things last year

[01:29:03] fucking love both of them and walking Phoenix outdoes himself in that in in bow is afraid now I just need to see him with her in another movie and hopefully our ghost makes it so that

[01:29:15] it would even be better so yeah bow is afraid and poor things number seven the creepiest most unnerving unique horror movie made in the last 20 years skin and merengue what'd you really think

[01:29:34] Murray I just really think Murray number six is the greatest Canadian movie that's ever been made it is brother this movie was so good and I've never seen a Canadian film that even comes close to

[01:29:48] this film I wasn't freaking I mean I highly suggest everybody see this movie it is freaking brilliant number five this film reinvents the demon genre to allure embraced by an entire culture

[01:30:08] and spins it on his head if you're going to eat your own kids brain in a movie then when evil lurks is got to be in my top five I freaking love this movie number four fallen leaves the weirdest and most wonderful love story that's ever been told

[01:30:28] that happens to also take place in Helsinki which should not surprise anybody yeah number three another horror movie yes called the elderly if you thought old people were creepy as fuck you ain't seen nothing yet

[01:30:44] the elder when you see the elderly you will understand why old people give people the creeps yeah I love that movie number two my second favorite director of all time here at Kazakurita's

[01:30:57] offering for last year of monster this film is so so brilliant um and my number one movie of last year I bet you Bryce can guess it uh inside the yellow cocoon shell no for me not you for me

[01:31:17] no um I should know this you should know it I don't know if I go yeah that's what 20 something 20,000 something bees yes 20,000 species of bees yes I should I should know because it's on it's like right here on my honorable mentions

[01:31:36] yeah uh Bryce you should have known that because again after leaving the cinema on here I was unconsolable for about 20 solid minutes this movie emotionally drained me I think I got the two movies mixed up this summer I do that sometimes yeah this this movie takes you places

[01:31:55] with um trans families and and families that are going through it and shows you how it can be done in a beautiful and natural and a way that um gives respect to all people in

[01:32:11] the film this this movie is fantastic everybody should see this be them supportive of trans rights or not it's fantastic hmm all right bricey that is a good good list it was a great list it's the

[01:32:25] perfect list uh I'm not gonna say it's it's almost perfect I I don't think I do I disagree with any of thing that's on there well and I will actually admit that like most of your top five

[01:32:42] never really got released in theaters yeah we saw them at festivals but yep you may never see him again unless you're looking for the streaming service you'll see on shutter when evil lurks

[01:32:52] it's on there now the elderly is coming to shutter in january so you'll get to see that but you're right you probably you may never get to see 20,000 species of bees but you should

[01:33:01] try and find it you should try and find it I am almost ready to to reveal your list two hours into our podcast you finally have a ready that's right he's finally gonna

[01:33:12] have his list he's he's been thinking about his list not stop I'm getting there we don't like to rush into things yeah that's true and you don't want to be organized for anything I want to get it

[01:33:23] right all I can say is it's a good thing that my schedule has changed otherwise I'd rather be at work yeah you'd be leaving it's not my fault the things are running so long today it's your

[01:37:06] it is just such a such a journey um jim would probably say that it was a little long it was long but it wasn't long enough it was not long needed an editor it needed to be longer than the two hours

[01:37:22] and 59 minutes that it was three hours it was no it was two hours and 59 minutes it was two hours and 59 minutes of pure bliss of the most spectacular scenery that you've ever seen

[01:38:44] had something to do with being gay yeah and we're like and then all of a sudden it's like bam there it is i tell you all right and apparently my dog is craving attention right now because he's back

[01:38:55] after my carpet all right so number seven is a thousand and one directed by avie rockwell um this had a breakout performance by tiana taylor um who is just so good in it um the casting in this

[01:39:19] uh is so good we get we get terry at six we get terry at 17 we get terry as a as a grown or at 13 and then karet terry is a 17 year old and every every uh kid that was in this was amazing

[01:39:34] um this is such a journey that you go on with this kid and this does have a bit of a reveal at the end and sometimes reveals don't work at all man did this work um a thousand and one is a treasure

[01:39:47] i love this movie nice number six fallen leaves yeah fallen leaves you know for all the reasons that jim mentioned it's such an amazing love story that only they could make in finland it was just

[01:40:05] i love this movie so much uh that would be number six number five is kareeda hirakazu what monster is in my top two um you know another another masterpiece from this guy all he does is make

[01:40:24] amazing films um there's a reason he isn't on our on our undoubted list correct yes and will remain there forever because he can do no wrong um you have to rewatch shoplifters and i have to

[01:40:37] rewatch shoplifters all right uh number four evil does not exist um directed by rissouke hamaguchi um this is this is a bit of a bit of a slow burn um a father and his daughter kind of uh

[01:41:00] move into this uh place where they're building a campsite um they're they want to do some glamping apparently um it sounds ridiculous it sounds dumb and it has the most amazing ending of

[01:41:15] one of the most amazing endings of any movie this year um this is another movie that might be slow for some but every camera movement means something the scenery is amazing it is just another movie

[01:41:31] that yeah you just i can't say enough about that one yep uh number three would be a movie that got blasted into the top ten after me seeing it just the other day and that is poor things

[01:41:43] whoo your ghost laugh among lanthimos is he's my he might be i don't know i've i got to think about it but he might be my favorite director ever um i just everything he does just amazes me

[01:41:55] it's all so unique um this time he gets the absolute best performances out of ms stone and mark ruffalo that you've ever seen ramy yusef is also so good in this um will and defoe is all

[01:42:08] you know generally brilliant but here he's he's on another level as well your ghost laugh the most not only takes just amazing visuals amazing stories amazing performances pushes them all together into amazing movies um poor things is just it's an experience that everybody should

[01:42:30] should have to uh agreed uh number two would be the eight mountains oh wow it is co-directed by felix vaughn groaning groanigan and charlotte van der meesh um this movie is probably one of the

[01:42:54] best movies about friendship that's ever and about it kind of goes down a road where you almost think they're gonna be gay i think they're gonna be gay and it's it's going to but no this is the the

[01:43:07] best movie about platonic friendship that i've ever seen in my life yeah two guys that just love each other more than anything would do anything for each other it is an amazing journey their

[01:43:20] lives are connected in a unique way and they are connected for life and i i love this movie this movie almost made me cry and i don't cry yeah it's true it made me cry and my number and well

[01:43:36] that's because you cry on a whim and and i actually it's weird that i said on a whim because because my dog is chewing another electrical cord because on a whim while this movie happens to be

[01:43:52] directed by a whim what directed by whim wenders perfect days is a perfect movie it's about a janitor a man that goes around in japan cleaning public toilets yes and it is the best movie about

[01:44:09] toilets and the best movie of last year um it's got amazing performances by everybody koji ishuu uh yaka shuo is good in everything tokyo amoto is good in everything and it's just so

[01:44:25] well cast he got he got the best actors in japan as he typically does i'm still trying to figure out how this guy continues to make amazing movies like he does whim wenders is another guy that just

[01:44:40] is so talented i can't imagine a more pleasurable experience than watching this movie um whim wenders just it just blows me away um it's kind of weird because apparently this movie is not going to

[01:44:57] get released until 2024 really um i mean that's what i'm gonna finally get to see it so you'll get to see it this year apparently but it is from last year yeah yeah but it was in the festival

[01:45:09] circuit so it was on the festival circuit but man i'm i'm telling you this this is an experience you can't imagine a movie so perfect the guy works for the tokyo toilet and who knew that

[01:45:24] i'm just i can't repeat enough i can you think about this movie and you're like how on earth did a movie about a guy clean in toilets be this good but only whim wenders and by the way

[01:45:36] about whim wenders like how does a german filmmaker end up making like the most one of the most amazing movies out of japan last year i mean well the world is global man that's what people

[01:45:47] should be doing but going to places that are awesome but oh man this guy just makes such good movies i am a big whim wenders fan and this was the best movie of 2023 yeah it was close

[01:46:01] it was 20 you didn't even see it 20 000 species of bees yes and now my dog has something he shouldn't have i'm sure because he's tossing it around he's gonna die of something tonight for sure

[01:46:15] what are you eating oh you're eating one of my lists all right go ahead it's just paper it's roughage yeah all right well the most important moment of last year i gotta decide what my i think

[01:46:29] i think i've got it okay well good so my my jim's film rage award for last year are you ready for this i am which has never been done yet before goes to editing

[01:46:45] for the film still a michael j fox film the editing by michael heart was the best editing in a documentary that has ever been done bar none so for that reason and that reason alone michael heart gets the editing award for last year 2023 that is my award

[01:47:08] huh interesting that i love that movie but on top of loving the movie the whole time we were watching it i was like this editing is brilliant this is the way editing should be when you make a documentary

[01:47:24] i can't disagree with any of that yeah all right marie do you want to go next while bryce is still fiddling his finger finger holes decided i think yeah well my award goes to somebody who

[01:47:39] i've quickly becoming a huge fan of most recently the last year and that is Florence puke all right the pew pew nice she was literally the only thing i liked about oppenheimer

[01:47:55] the rest but i couldn't really care for but her five minutes or whatever she was in it she was pretty awesome and yeah like a good person was an incredible role i loved her singing in it

[01:48:07] and if you go back to even 2022 don't worry dialing she was obviously the best thing about that movie uh yeah and i did not see her disney plus series but she took over from scott johansen of course after

[01:48:23] she you know died in the avengers uh so i don't know i'm sure she did a good job of that too but i love the pew pew she was awesome pew pew is pretty freaking awesome there you go

[01:48:35] well i think my uh film rage award is gonna go to someone that i probably should have given an award a long time ago and that would be ben aflac oh my fucking god not only did he direct

[01:48:47] one of one of the best movies of the year didn't make my top 15 but you know it wasn't my top basketball movie yes oh the one that i gave her oh i gave it a man start as phil night and he was

[01:48:58] amazing in it and guess what he also directed it plus he once again solidified the fact that he is the best batman ever as his performance as bruce wane in the flash absolutely absolutely dwarfed everybody else in the film you know aflac you know the man

[01:49:19] is just can't can do no wrong he's the best director in hollywood he's the best in hollywood i said all right he's the best actor that's ever lived god you know what people listen to this podcast and

[01:49:31] they they were probably listening to your list going you know what there's a lot of really good stuff in there and then you've literally critically claimed movies the whole year and then you festival darlings and then you and then you negate everything by giving an award out to

[01:49:47] possibly one of the most annoying he's just it's all overdue and i'm you know i'm it's a boat time i write and you know what i look back at last year at last year i'm like you know what he dwarfed

[01:49:58] everybody once again proved that he's the best bruce wane batman ever and he also proved that he's one of the best directors ever by just nailing it like everything he directs is amazing

[01:50:09] the last duel air fuck kill me now like that this is a great way to finish you know we did not get called film love we're called film rage and thanks to brice he's ended this on a fantastic

[01:50:22] range that's right another reason for murray not to watch movies anymore exactly and i think it's also ruined my love of movies there you go thank you mr aflick whoa now this is a loaded episode people yeah all right well thanks rangers for listening thanks
