[00:00:44] That's something you got made.

[00:00:45] That's just something you got made.

[00:00:46] I didn't get one.

[00:00:47] That's something you got made.

[00:00:48] I don't want that.

[00:00:49] You gotta buy it online.

[00:00:52] This is the official Bryce merchandise.

[00:02:29] Yes.

[00:02:36] Quad of movies.

[00:02:40] You heard of half of them.

[00:02:43] First one on your list is problemista.

[00:02:47] I never heard of.

[00:02:49] Did you see the trailer?

[00:02:50] I watched the trailer.

[00:02:51] Nice.

[00:02:52] I think you'd like it.

[00:02:53] And I see Tilda Swinton.

[00:02:54] Yes.

[00:02:55] Which you guys like.

[00:02:57] Once mesmerizing Tilda Swinton.

[00:02:59] The still mesmerizing.

[00:03:00] Once and always.

[00:03:01] Not officially.

[00:03:02] I don't care about your list.

[00:03:04] They're always mesmerizing once they're always mesmerizing.

[00:03:06] There's only room for one.

[00:03:10] There can be only one.

[00:03:12] That's right.

[00:03:13] Don't be written in a way.

[00:03:14] What we need to do is every person on the mesmerizing list starring the same movie.

[00:03:19] Yeah.

[00:03:20] Then we can get it down to one.

[00:03:22] Everybody.

[00:03:23] What was that movie from the...

[00:03:25] I think it was the 70s or 80s.

[00:03:26] It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

[00:03:28] That was kind of like every actor in Hollywood was in that movie at the same time.

[00:03:32] That's what we need right now.

[00:03:34] Anyways.

[00:03:35] Yeah.

[00:03:36] So problemista looked really weird and thought it was her usual weird self and it looked

[00:03:43] kind of quirky and funny.

[00:03:45] I don't know.

[00:03:47] Let's just give it a double mondo.

[00:03:48] Double mondo.

[00:03:49] Okay.

[00:03:50] Okay.

[00:03:51] Okay.

[00:03:53] Monkey man.

[00:03:55] Oh, monkey man.

[00:03:57] With Dev Patel.

[00:03:59] Apparently produced or organized by...

[00:04:02] He directed it.

[00:04:03] And wrote it.

[00:04:04] And wrote it.

[00:04:05] Also...

[00:04:06] And starred in it and produced it.

[00:04:08] Can I finish it?

[00:04:09] Yeah.

[00:04:10] And...

[00:04:11] And subtle...

[00:04:12] I think he also did set design.

[00:04:13] There's another name involved too which if you let me get it out.

[00:04:16] Oh, what is it?

[00:04:17] I think he painted some stuff in it.

[00:04:18] He probably did too.

[00:04:19] What?

[00:04:20] What?

[00:04:21] Did he do security too?

[00:04:23] Oh, it's Peely.

[00:04:24] Peely.

[00:04:25] Yeah.

[00:04:26] Jim was looking forward to this.

[00:04:28] He loves his Dev Patel.

[00:04:29] Who doesn't?

[00:04:30] I don't.

[00:04:31] What?

[00:04:32] Why did I ask?

[00:04:34] He doesn't like the green knight.

[00:04:36] I only did in these movies but I'm not going to get into that.

[00:04:42] Yeah.

[00:04:43] Of course Jim gave it a mondo because it's Dev Patel.

[00:04:45] Okay.

[00:04:46] Bryce, just based on the amount of pure action in this movie, I don't think he did.

[00:04:52] I think it's a man.

[00:04:54] Really?

[00:04:55] Because I know Bryce doesn't like...

[00:04:57] He likes his slow movies with walking.

[00:04:58] He doesn't really like a lot of fights.

[00:05:00] Punching and dick kicking.

[00:05:01] Exactly.

[00:05:02] That's not really his thing.

[00:05:03] Hey, any movie that's done well, Bryce can mondo.

[00:05:07] That is true.

[00:05:09] Some movies that aren't done well, Bryce can mondo.

[00:05:11] Yeah, that's also true.

[00:05:13] Because of monos like candy.

[00:05:14] Some movies that are really well made, Bryce can rage.

[00:05:17] Yes, that's right.

[00:05:18] Yeah, he has the worst reigning system.

[00:05:20] He does.

[00:05:21] That's why I can't figure him out.

[00:05:24] Then we got The First Omen.

[00:05:27] The First Omen.

[00:05:28] Which again, Jim loves his horror movies and he likes his tortured Catholics with their

[00:05:34] demons.

[00:05:35] Oh my God.

[00:05:36] I do love torturing.

[00:05:37] You think he had a hell of a weekend at the movies?

[00:05:39] I think that's probably a double man.

[00:05:41] I don't think it was that great.

[00:05:43] Okay.

[00:05:44] So we're going down on that one.

[00:05:45] Well, I don't think any of these are rages but it's that way.

[00:05:48] I think you guys had a hell of a weekend at the movies.

[00:05:51] You know what?

[00:05:52] They don't call him the amazing Merman for nothing.

[00:05:54] And the last one, Dog Man, which I vaguely heard of.

[00:05:57] I saw the trailer and I saw that probably one of the creepiest actors ever in Hollywood.

[00:06:05] And also one of our favorites.

[00:06:07] And one of your favorites was in it.

[00:06:09] And he looked just weirder than usual.

[00:06:12] Yes.

[00:06:13] I'm going to give that a double mondo for you guys too.

[00:06:16] Double mondo.

[00:06:17] I don't know about you Bryce, but I think Murray's channeling all his energy into his amazingness

[00:06:23] this week.

[00:06:24] And again, I don't really care.

[00:06:26] You know what?

[00:06:27] That's why people listen because Murray just doesn't care.

[00:06:30] He's still amazed.

[00:06:31] He just don't give up.

[00:06:33] That's right.

[00:06:34] I really don't.

[00:06:35] A ba-doop, a ba-donk-a-donk.

[00:06:37] I think we should just run this music for another 45 minutes.

[00:06:42] Yeah, find me something better.

[00:06:44] Oh, this is pretty groovy.

[00:06:47] This is groovy.

[00:06:50] This is groovy.

[00:06:52] This is groovy.

[00:06:54] This is groovy.

[00:06:56] Problemista.

[00:06:58] Problemista.

[00:06:59] Is that what we're talking about first?

[00:07:01] Problemista.

[00:07:02] On your list.

[00:07:04] All right.

[00:07:06] Problemista is the feature length directorial debut for Julio Torres, who also stars and

[00:07:13] wrote this.

[00:07:14] What?

[00:07:15] It is a typical first film in that the director has a lot of ideas and puts them all in their

[00:07:22] debut effort.

[00:07:23] Sometimes that works and sometimes it misfires.

[00:07:26] What?

[00:07:27] In this case, it works.

[00:07:29] Torres plays a wannabe toy designer named Alejandro from El Salvador who wants more than anything

[00:07:36] to work for Hasbro.

[00:07:38] But until that happens, he needs to find someone to sponsor him as he has been recently

[00:07:42] in a company that freezes folks so they can be awoken at a later date and because of this,

[00:07:46] his work visa is about to run out.

[00:07:48] Enter Elizabeth, played by Tilda Swinton who is an eccentric widower sort of who wants

[00:07:53] to have a show for her sort of dead husband's paintings of eggs.

[00:07:58] Although I guess he isn't really dead as he is frozen in a container where Alejandro

[00:08:04] used to work.

[00:08:06] It is a relationship between Alejandro and Elizabeth that takes this film to very,

[00:08:10] very joyful places.

[00:08:12] Every scene between them was something to behold with Swinton chewing up the scenery and Torres

[00:08:16] reacting to the tornado of madness that surrounded him.

[00:08:20] There are things in this that I cannot believe worked at all such as an actor playing Craigslist

[00:08:26] which in concept is like the dumbest thing to ever put on screen but in reality,

[00:08:32] under the direction of Mr. Torres, this was really quite amusing.

[00:08:36] There are quite a few other whimsical occurrences throughout and for some reason

[00:08:42] on the back of some really good writing and one really great actor in Swinton,

[00:08:48] everything just kind of works.

[00:08:50] It shouldn't, it has no business working but it does.

[00:08:55] I found the whole film quite a bit of fun.

[00:08:59] It was a very enjoyable man.

[00:09:01] I couldn't quite get it to Amando.

[00:09:04] Who knew?

[00:09:06] There you go.

[00:09:07] Okay, you know, we just kind of talked about the fact that Bryce sometimes gives out

[00:09:13] Mondos just because of one person's performance.

[00:09:16] In this performance, Murray, this was Tilda Swinton at her absolute best.

[00:09:20] She was fantastic.

[00:09:21] The fact that he did not give out a Mondo to Tilda Swinton's best performance of her life.

[00:09:27] No.

[00:09:28] Oh by far this is Tilda Swinton at her best.

[00:09:30] She was amazing as usual.

[00:09:32] This was at her absolute best.

[00:09:36] There was, yeah, this goes to show Bryce.

[00:09:39] He was an enjoyable man.

[00:09:41] You're an enjoyable man.

[00:09:43] I would concur.

[00:09:45] I am an enjoyable man.

[00:09:47] You used to be fucking dynamic but now you're just an enjoyable man.

[00:09:50] Now I'm an enjoyable man.

[00:09:52] I actually more comfortable with that.

[00:09:54] Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

[00:09:55] Less to live up to.

[00:09:56] There's too much pressure being bleep and dynamic.

[00:09:59] Can't all be that.

[00:10:00] Well, Murray, if you ever thought you could laugh more than anything else on the planet

[00:10:09] by someone saying the word database multiple times in a movie

[00:10:15] then you have not seen Tilda Swinton in her absolute most wacky

[00:10:21] and I'm going to say manically weird and hilarious roles she has ever played.

[00:10:29] Every single situation that she is in

[00:10:32] and every word that she says in this movie

[00:10:35] made me laugh nonstop throughout this entire movie.

[00:10:38] But you may ask, what was this movie about?

[00:10:42] Well Bryce kind of already mentioned it a little bit.

[00:10:45] Well, it's about a boy who dreams of eventually becoming a toy designer

[00:10:50] so he leaves his fantasy world with his mom in El Salvador

[00:10:54] to escape to New York and tries to get work

[00:10:58] Well actually tries to get work

[00:11:00] but more importantly get a work visa in a convoluted system

[00:11:05] I guess the Americans have about getting a work visa

[00:11:07] which sounds almost impossible to be able to achieve.

[00:11:10] So he can eventually go to go work for Hasbro

[00:11:13] and you have two of the most unlikely people become friends

[00:11:19] and learn that to be sorry

[00:11:22] to become better humans by experiencing each other's selves.

[00:11:26] This film is funny and quirky and silly and fantastical

[00:11:29] and wackadoo at times

[00:11:31] and Julio Torres who plays Alandro

[00:11:39] has to try and get his sponsorship

[00:11:44] at times in unbelievable crazy ways

[00:11:48] but nothing phases him

[00:11:50] eventually Tilda Swinton helps him learn

[00:11:52] that it's not about having to choose between everything

[00:11:55] and getting nothing

[00:11:57] it's about getting everything and also getting everything

[00:12:01] This movie is a fantasy adventure comedy for the ages

[00:12:06] I loved every single frame of this film

[00:12:09] This movie was almost perfect

[00:12:11] It was a super duper mondo

[00:12:13] and I say A24 is there nothing you can't do

[00:12:17] Yeah, A24 they're just...

[00:12:19] They have a 90% track record

[00:12:22] I think it's higher than that

[00:12:24] I've never given a rage to an A24 film

[00:12:27] Well, you but that's...

[00:12:29] Yeah, I've never given a rage I don't think either

[00:12:32] Yeah, I guess perhaps I should frame it is that

[00:12:35] A24 I should say

[00:12:38] there is everything you can do

[00:12:40] because that's a positive spin that Tilda Swinton would have done

[00:12:44] Everything at once too

[00:12:46] Yeah, everywhere

[00:12:48] This is a total mondo

[00:12:50] How you didn't get this to mondo

[00:12:52] We were both laughing through the entire movie

[00:12:54] There's never been a comedy that was as funny as this

[00:12:57] Tilda Swinton's character in this

[00:13:00] Everything she says

[00:13:02] She goes to the absolute extreme with absolutely everything

[00:13:05] and Alejandro just finds a way to just pull her back to reality

[00:13:09] like a fishing lure

[00:13:11] The two of them working together was

[00:13:13] the best actors like he was fantastic in this

[00:13:16] how he could be so dry

[00:13:17] His scene where he

[00:13:20] He walks into work the one day and he trips

[00:13:23] That alone just made me laugh

[00:13:25] It was just crazy

[00:13:26] And then there's a bank scene

[00:13:28] where they charge him $35 every time he overdraws himself

[00:13:33] And then of course the service charges overdraw

[00:13:35] So he gets charged another $35

[00:13:38] He's like oh, he thought he had like

[00:13:40] you know 50 bucks in his account

[00:13:42] No, he had like his minus like

[00:13:44] negative 600

[00:13:45] But mostly all because of service charges

[00:13:47] And all he wanted to do

[00:13:49] was get the person he was talking to

[00:13:51] to admit that that was the stupidest thing

[00:13:53] that she'd ever heard

[00:13:54] and she just couldn't do it

[00:13:56] Yes

[00:13:57] It was good

[00:13:58] Yeah, this...

[00:14:00] The trolley scene was also incredible

[00:14:02] Trolley scene was great

[00:14:03] Like there were so many things in this

[00:14:05] Alejandro's roommate

[00:14:07] She didn't even charge him

[00:14:09] She's like

[00:14:10] He rents his room out because he can't afford it

[00:14:13] because he's trying to get a job

[00:14:15] and Tilda Swinton's character is not really paying him yet

[00:14:17] because he doesn't have a...

[00:14:19] Well, he also is not supposed to get paid

[00:14:22] Yeah, you're not allowed to get paid

[00:14:24] but you have to pay them $6,000

[00:14:26] But also the guy who's

[00:14:30] the guy who's his case worker

[00:14:32] with getting his work visa

[00:14:35] is like well just work under the table

[00:14:37] It's like okay I don't think that you're supposed to do that

[00:14:39] and then he also offers him a job

[00:14:42] and he's like well how is he going to give him the job without

[00:14:44] So it was just like

[00:14:46] one thing after another this

[00:14:48] It was wacky but this was...

[00:14:49] And man did he have to do some odd jobs

[00:14:51] Yeah, he had to do...

[00:14:53] He had to go and become a windshield wiper

[00:14:57] in a sex maniacs apartment

[00:15:01] and do sex things

[00:15:03] You had to do sex things while cleaning a window

[00:15:06] It's different

[00:15:09] How you did not love this movie?

[00:15:12] I can't even understand

[00:15:14] This is probably one of my top 10 movies

[00:15:16] I liked it a lot

[00:15:17] This might make my top 100 movies of all time

[00:15:19] I really enjoyed it

[00:15:20] You're wacky

[00:15:21] It was a high math

[00:15:23] Alright, well...

[00:15:24] Well we're seeing, go see it

[00:15:26] I thought you were going to nail this, Murray

[00:15:28] I really did

[00:15:29] Well again I think he was...

[00:15:31] I think he should have given it a month

[00:15:33] Obviously he thought it was a month

[00:15:34] Yeah

[00:15:35] For whatever

[00:15:36] I thought it was a...

[00:15:37] By the way, I didn't...

[00:15:39] It's right there

[00:15:40] I didn't change my rating

[00:15:42] Yeah but you've given

[00:15:44] Mondos out for just performances

[00:15:46] You've given crappier movies Mondos

[00:15:48] Yeah, that's what I'm saying

[00:15:50] That still could happen this podcast

[00:15:52] Alright, well...

[00:15:53] Okay, well here we go

[00:15:55] Okay so, Monkey Man

[00:15:58] We know Dev Patel the actor

[00:16:01] We do

[00:16:03] We know Dev Patel the writer

[00:16:05] Yeah

[00:16:06] We know Dev Patel the producer

[00:16:08] Yeah

[00:16:09] And now we know Dev Patel the director

[00:16:11] Yes

[00:16:12] Oh also

[00:16:13] I thought he did Green Night as well

[00:16:14] No, I didn't direct it

[00:16:15] I thought he did

[00:16:16] And we also know Dev Patel the monkey man

[00:16:19] Mmm

[00:16:20] The story of a young boy traumatized in his youth

[00:16:23] by seeing his mom murdered by none other

[00:16:26] than the police and I'm putting in quotes here

[00:16:28] evil politicians

[00:16:30] His religion is that of following the Hindu god

[00:16:33] Hanuman

[00:16:35] or the monkey god

[00:16:36] He lives in the underbelly of society

[00:16:39] where he lives his life as a terrible

[00:16:42] ring fighter dressed as a monkey

[00:16:44] where he basically gets his ass kicked

[00:16:47] for money

[00:16:48] all in the hopes of climbing society

[00:16:50] so that he can take revenge

[00:16:52] Punishing himself

[00:16:53] Yeah, just...

[00:16:54] Yeah, every time

[00:16:56] and if he bleeds he gets a bone...

[00:16:58] a blood bonus

[00:16:59] He's got some deep-seated guilt

[00:17:01] Oh, well, just wait

[00:17:04] Not in the ring

[00:17:06] But he's terrible at revenge

[00:17:08] and soon realizes that he now

[00:17:11] is the most wanted man in his region

[00:17:14] because he picked a fight with the wrong

[00:17:16] evil police chief

[00:17:18] Mmm

[00:17:19] So they of course almost kill him

[00:17:22] and he gets saved by another religious faction

[00:17:26] of deity worshipping trans folks

[00:17:30] who through the power of Indian root

[00:17:33] similar to Hiawaska

[00:17:35] cleanse his soul

[00:17:37] Now, just a bit of an intermission here

[00:17:40] Now at this point in the film

[00:17:42] I think that these peaceful trans peeps

[00:17:46] are going to help him to mend his tattered aura

[00:17:50] and find peace within himself

[00:17:53] But no, Murray, that is not what happens

[00:17:56] They show him how to harness his revenge

[00:17:58] and do some awesome drum training

[00:18:01] which carries also with it

[00:18:04] many memory flashback montages of his mom

[00:18:07] Plus...

[00:18:08] Yeah, a lot of flashbacks

[00:18:10] An Indian drummer I could listen to

[00:18:13] forever

[00:18:15] playing these amazing drum beats

[00:18:17] so infectious

[00:18:19] you still wish you could die

[00:18:21] of an overdose of them

[00:18:23] That's what I felt

[00:18:24] If I was going to die

[00:18:26] I want to die by this Indian drummer's drum beat

[00:18:28] That's what I wanted

[00:18:29] Alright

[00:18:31] I'm just saying

[00:18:33] With his newfound monkey power

[00:18:37] and insight into drum fighting

[00:18:39] with the help of his new family

[00:18:41] of trans people

[00:18:43] He fucks up everyone everywhere

[00:18:47] all at once

[00:18:48] And we get an ending completely satisfying

[00:18:51] with multiple boss levels

[00:18:53] of ass kicking and dick punching

[00:18:56] The first half of this film is an adrenaline fueled

[00:18:59] manic editing and shooting fest

[00:19:02] for the senses that dev does

[00:19:05] interesting and brilliant shooting styles

[00:19:07] to get this level of anxiety written action scenes

[00:19:10] so to all of our senses

[00:19:14] Then we get zen like moments

[00:19:16] as he heals himself

[00:19:18] And then

[00:19:19] we get the end with manic

[00:19:22] super trans super friends

[00:19:24] with ass kicking action

[00:19:26] to a perfect ending and a completely satisfying

[00:19:29] action revenge human rights

[00:19:31] wielding mondo of a first direction

[00:19:34] by one of the most

[00:19:36] and my most favorite actor, writer, producers

[00:19:39] and now favorite directors, dev patel

[00:19:41] I absolutely loved every single moment of this film

[00:19:43] It is completely wacky and wackadoo

[00:19:46] If the last movie we talked about was wackadoo

[00:19:49] this was like action wackadoo

[00:19:51] This fucked up my whole senses

[00:19:53] This movie, this movie

[00:19:56] No you would have probably liked it

[00:19:58] No you would have liked this movie Murray

[00:20:00] Cause you can't not love dev patel

[00:20:02] getting his ass kicked

[00:20:03] and then turning around and doing some service of himself

[00:20:08] Alright so

[00:20:10] Ma, is this a high ma for you too?

[00:20:13] You'll have to wait and see there Jim

[00:20:15] Oh my god you in here

[00:20:16] Monkey Man is the feature length directorial

[00:20:19] debut for dev patel

[00:20:21] who also stars and wrote this

[00:20:24] Yeah that's what I said

[00:20:25] It is a typical first film

[00:20:27] in that the director has a lot of ideas

[00:20:30] and puts them all in their debut effort

[00:20:32] Wait you did that in the last film

[00:20:34] Sometimes that works

[00:20:35] and sometimes it misfires

[00:20:37] Did you even do any effort is this the same review?

[00:20:40] What? He's now just reading the same review

[00:20:43] In this case

[00:20:44] He's the name of the movie

[00:20:45] Okay it didn't work

[00:20:46] It works

[00:20:47] Well so he said on the last one

[00:20:49] Yeah

[00:20:50] So let's see if we come to the same conclusion

[00:20:52] Oh my god

[00:20:53] Patel takes on India's well documented discrimination

[00:20:56] and corruption in an action film

[00:20:58] that is political, religious, mythological

[00:21:00] and a champion for equal rights

[00:21:02] The film is inclusive and portrays

[00:21:04] strength in often marginalized groups in society

[00:21:07] It is bloody and violent

[00:21:09] as people are dismembered and stabbed

[00:21:11] Dev Patel is excellent

[00:21:13] as a man that had everything taken away from him

[00:21:15] and now must get revenge

[00:21:17] The action sequences

[00:21:19] The action sequences

[00:21:21] are well choreographed

[00:21:23] without seeming too choreographed

[00:21:26] That's true

[00:21:27] They seem kind of real

[00:21:28] Yeah

[00:21:29] There is a grittiness to the action

[00:21:31] that helps it feel more genuine

[00:21:33] than the slickness of many Hollywood productions these days

[00:21:36] This was a tremendous debut for Patel as a director

[00:21:38] although it was a little over stuffed

[00:21:41] Ugh, here we go

[00:21:42] with a reliance on too many flashbacks

[00:21:45] that sometimes interrupted the momentum of the film

[00:21:48] I really really really liked Monkey Man

[00:21:51] It was mad

[00:21:53] You are a complete fucking idiot

[00:21:56] It was very good

[00:21:58] It was so good

[00:21:59] Very good

[00:22:00] This movie is so good

[00:22:01] As I said, there's too much in it

[00:22:03] There's too much action

[00:22:04] I knew he wouldn't love it

[00:22:05] I was fine

[00:22:06] The action was great

[00:22:07] I really really enjoyed it

[00:22:09] You know what?

[00:22:10] Flashback Montages

[00:22:12] normally bothered me

[00:22:13] but this one didn't bother me at all

[00:22:15] Yeah, I thought that they were a lot of them

[00:22:17] I could use a bit more

[00:22:18] No, there was too much of them

[00:22:20] and it bogged down the flow of the movie

[00:22:22] No, it didn't

[00:22:23] Because we had to take a breath

[00:22:26] The first half of the movie

[00:22:28] Oh, there was plenty of time

[00:22:29] There was a lot of development in this

[00:22:31] where the whole stuff

[00:22:33] This movie slows down

[00:22:36] quite a bit in between action sequences

[00:22:38] You didn't need all these flashback montages

[00:22:40] to take a breath

[00:22:42] It's the Indian way

[00:22:44] You gotta get inside

[00:22:46] The only thing that was missing

[00:22:47] I was disappointed because I waited till the end

[00:22:49] and there wasn't a Bollywood dance

[00:22:51] Well, this was a Bollywood movie

[00:22:53] without the dancing

[00:22:54] I know, which made it not a Bollywood movie

[00:22:56] There was even music in it

[00:22:57] Then it's not a Bollywood movie

[00:22:59] It's just an Indian movie

[00:23:00] Well, it's actually a British Indian movie

[00:23:02] because I think Deb Patel is actually British

[00:23:04] I've never seen a Bollywood movie

[00:23:05] there isn't dancing

[00:23:06] I know, I was a little sad

[00:23:07] I was hoping that we'd got a monkey dance

[00:23:09] or something

[00:23:10] What?

[00:23:11] There's no monkey dance

[00:23:13] Dance is no monkey dance

[00:23:15] Well, we got a drum

[00:23:16] and that was cool

[00:23:17] And there was dancing during the drumming

[00:23:19] There was some dancing

[00:23:20] You know what?

[00:23:21] Everybody should see this movie

[00:23:23] It's very good

[00:23:24] It's Mondo

[00:23:25] It's Super Mondo, actually

[00:23:27] It is a quite an enjoyable map

[00:23:29] Alright, well this one

[00:23:31] is probably also going to make my top 10

[00:23:33] I'm looking forward to both these directors

[00:23:35] making, you know, first movie problem

[00:23:37] How can you land Tildes Winton

[00:23:39] in your first directorial debut?

[00:23:41] Apparently if it's good enough for Tildes Winton

[00:23:43] it should be good enough for you

[00:23:45] And it was

[00:23:46] I really, really, really liked it

[00:23:48] You're wrong

[00:23:50] I shouldn't have liked it?

[00:23:52] No, you're right

[00:23:53] Right that you liked it

[00:23:55] but you're wrong that it wasn't Mondo

[00:23:57] I should have liked it more

[00:23:59] Yeah, that

[00:24:01] plus more

[00:24:02] He was one really short

[00:24:04] of being a Mondo for that one

[00:24:06] Yeah, yeah, one more really?

[00:24:07] One more really would have made it a Mondo

[00:24:09] I guess one less

[00:24:11] memory flashback montage

[00:24:14] There was a lot of them

[00:24:16] It wasn't enough

[00:24:17] I never want more memory flashback montages

[00:24:20] but I wanted more in this

[00:24:22] I'm gonna stop the moment

[00:24:24] Maybe I should only give it a man too

[00:24:26] because it didn't have enough memory flashback

[00:24:28] Do you want to change your rating?

[00:24:30] No, because this movie is perfect

[00:24:32] It was very good

[00:24:33] It was so good

[00:24:34] I loved every minute of it

[00:24:36] Alright, well why don't we talk about the first Omen

[00:24:38] Let's talk about the first Omen in the room

[00:24:41] Okay, so the first Omen

[00:24:43] is the feature length directorial debut

[00:24:46] for Arcashia Stevenson

[00:24:48] Again?

[00:24:49] Who also wrote this

[00:24:51] She was not Star

[00:24:53] So the first movie that we're talking about

[00:24:55] Apparently she's a slacker

[00:24:57] Yeah, she's a slacker

[00:24:58] Total slacker

[00:24:59] The other two wrote, directed and starred in it

[00:25:03] But Slacker Arcashia

[00:25:05] She only wrote and directed

[00:25:08] So anyways

[00:25:09] Unlike the first two films I reviewed today

[00:25:11] I fail to see the inspiration

[00:25:14] What?

[00:25:16] This takes this

[00:25:18] religious horror tale

[00:25:20] fails to separate itself

[00:25:22] from this completely tired genre

[00:25:24] I'm done

[00:25:26] Was this well made?

[00:25:28] Yes

[00:25:29] Was the acting good?

[00:25:30] Yes

[00:25:31] Were the effects good?

[00:25:33] Yes

[00:25:34] Was I bored as this needlessly

[00:25:36] two hour marathon of a movie played out?

[00:25:38] Yes

[00:25:40] This story of a nun who was bred to carry

[00:25:42] the son of Satan

[00:25:44] was tedious and yawn-inducing

[00:25:46] And the ending that is supposed to

[00:25:48] neatly lead us into the original Omen

[00:25:50] was not effective at all and seemed tacked on

[00:25:52] Spoiler

[00:25:53] I don't care

[00:25:54] It was as if I just sat through a two hour movie

[00:25:57] for one moment that the filmmaker was hoping

[00:26:00] would have me leaving the theater satisfied

[00:26:02] Sadly, that was not the case

[00:26:04] The first Omen fails to deliver

[00:26:06] anything near the original film

[00:26:08] that was packed with memorable scenes and moments

[00:26:10] With the first Omen

[00:26:12] I will be lucky to remember that I even

[00:26:14] saw it in a few years

[00:26:16] It will be jumbled in my memory

[00:26:18] with the endless religious horror films

[00:26:20] that are now crowding my brain

[00:26:22] Yup

[00:26:23] I didn't hate this

[00:26:25] but it still left me wondering

[00:26:27] what the point was

[00:26:28] And that makes me rage

[00:26:30] I'm sick of them

[00:26:31] I don't want anymore

[00:26:32] But it didn't

[00:26:34] You didn't hate it

[00:26:36] I didn't hate it

[00:26:38] until I think about

[00:26:40] Why they make it

[00:26:42] and that made me hate it

[00:26:45] It's a rage!

[00:26:46] Race's writing system is just on fire today

[00:26:49] It's the best

[00:26:51] It's literally not a terrible movie

[00:26:53] but because they made it, it's a rage

[00:26:55] You're here brother

[00:26:57] Okay, there you go

[00:26:59] You know what? I'm on side with

[00:27:01] with you raging about the fact that

[00:27:03] they made this

[00:27:04] I'm 100% on for that

[00:27:06] The stupid thing is

[00:27:08] it like

[00:27:10] There's no reason why they couldn't

[00:27:12] tighten this down to 90 minutes

[00:27:14] Uh, 77

[00:27:15] 77 even

[00:27:16] And if they did

[00:27:17] it might have been a mess

[00:27:19] because it was well made

[00:27:20] and there was some good stuff in it

[00:27:22] It was just so bloody long

[00:27:24] and bloody boring

[00:27:25] Because

[00:27:26] every scene that should have been

[00:27:28] a third of the length

[00:27:30] was three times longer than it should have been

[00:27:32] which made the movie three times

[00:27:34] longer than it should have been

[00:27:36] Well maybe not three

[00:27:37] but maybe

[00:27:38] a third more

[00:27:40] than a two-thirds of the length

[00:27:42] It's something like that

[00:27:44] The math is not really perfectly equated

[00:27:46] in here

[00:27:47] But I get your point for sure

[00:27:50] So

[00:27:51] if you like creepy

[00:27:53] Put your saris in a sack

[00:27:54] Yeah exactly

[00:27:55] If you like creepy whispering

[00:27:59] Murray, if you like creepy whispering

[00:28:01] and jump scares

[00:28:03] and many shots of the mother

[00:28:05] of Satan lying on her back

[00:28:07] with her hair spread out like Medusa

[00:28:09] with convenient story arches

[00:28:11] and predictable plots

[00:28:13] with loud spooky orchestral music

[00:28:15] and random weird scary things

[00:28:17] happening but also editing

[00:28:19] that makes no sense

[00:28:21] then the first Omen is for you

[00:28:25] Yeah, it's

[00:28:26] Is it for you, Murmur?

[00:28:27] I like none of that

[00:28:28] Okay

[00:28:29] Well

[00:28:30] It had

[00:28:31] a good tie into the original Omen

[00:28:33] I didn't like how easy

[00:28:35] at the end it was

[00:28:37] a priest dude to just find her

[00:28:39] I was like

[00:28:41] I just showed up

[00:28:42] Like there's a lot of this

[00:28:44] and

[00:28:46] if he was that easy for him to find them

[00:28:49] then the evil coven

[00:28:51] should easily have been able to find her

[00:28:53] because there's more of them

[00:28:54] There's like

[00:28:55] I don't know, 50 or 60 of these evil coven

[00:28:57] There's a lot

[00:28:58] And there was just him

[00:28:59] and he found her no problem

[00:29:00] I was confused by some of it

[00:29:02] and not cause

[00:29:03] I'm confused easily

[00:29:04] if you know what I'm saying here

[00:29:06] It was alright, it was a man

[00:29:08] Yeah

[00:29:09] It was alright

[00:29:10] I didn't hate it

[00:29:11] But it was really boring

[00:29:12] and I've never seen

[00:29:14] I'm sorry

[00:29:15] like in the original

[00:29:16] Omen

[00:29:17] and other Omen

[00:29:19] adjacent films

[00:29:21] just because you're implanted with

[00:29:23] with Satan's seed

[00:29:24] doesn't mean your baby grows

[00:29:25] in like 5 minutes

[00:29:27] and if your stomach

[00:29:29] didn't have 9 months

[00:29:31] to get used to stretching

[00:29:33] wouldn't it just rip you open

[00:29:34] when it went that fast?

[00:29:35] Like she was completely not pregnant

[00:29:37] and then she went for a car ride, Marie

[00:29:39] and then she was

[00:29:40] Then all of a sudden she's like

[00:29:41] Oh, then all of a sudden boom

[00:29:42] Then she had twins

[00:29:43] Then she had twins

[00:29:44] Well they had to cut them out

[00:29:45] but there's no possible way

[00:29:47] from science

[00:29:48] and unless you know Satan

[00:29:50] You know what we're missing from this price?

[00:29:52] It's Satanic magic

[00:29:54] We've talked about space magic

[00:29:56] We've talked about other kinds of magic

[00:29:58] Force magic

[00:29:59] But this was Satanic magic

[00:30:01] So if you've got Satanic magic

[00:30:03] it's kind of like the force

[00:30:05] You can just do anything you want

[00:30:07] and if it doesn't work

[00:30:08] it's like you know what

[00:30:09] I guess Satan was off duty that time

[00:30:11] So there's editing scenes in here

[00:30:13] There's a scene

[00:30:15] Are you sure it was a man?

[00:30:17] Yeah, it was a man

[00:30:18] I didn't hate it

[00:30:19] I didn't hate it

[00:30:20] It was boring

[00:30:23] and I kind of didn't mind

[00:30:25] the linkage they made to the original Omen

[00:30:27] I didn't hate it

[00:30:28] It was like, okay

[00:30:29] That makes sense

[00:30:30] But it didn't need to be there

[00:30:32] This movie did not need to exist

[00:30:34] because the Omen is one of my favorite horror movies of all time

[00:30:37] It didn't need to be there

[00:30:38] and it felt tacked on

[00:30:39] because it didn't need to be there

[00:30:41] Well, can I...

[00:30:42] If I was Murray right now

[00:30:44] and I was channeling Murray

[00:30:45] Murray would say

[00:30:46] it's because they're gonna make another

[00:30:47] one or they gotta make more money

[00:30:48] because here they have her

[00:30:49] and I'd get with the sister

[00:30:50] Well no, because this pretty much takes us

[00:30:52] to the first Omen

[00:30:53] No!

[00:30:54] The first first Omen

[00:30:55] Price, no it doesn't

[00:30:56] It does

[00:30:57] No, because there's a whole other story arch here

[00:30:58] that we didn't know about

[00:30:59] Like did you know Damien had a sister?

[00:31:02] No

[00:31:03] Well now you do

[00:31:04] and so we're gonna go find out about this

[00:31:05] So you think that's gonna

[00:31:06] Yes, of course it's gonna be the thing

[00:31:08] They're gonna have the coven chasing her

[00:31:10] Ah, no

[00:31:11] Yes, I don't want that

[00:31:13] It's going to happen

[00:31:14] I don't want that

[00:31:15] Yeah, well you know who's gonna

[00:31:17] If we get a scooter riding

[00:31:18] Russell Crowe in it

[00:31:20] then it could change that to a math

[00:31:22] That's true

[00:31:23] So you should not say that

[00:31:24] That's all, by the way

[00:31:25] for all you directors out there

[00:31:27] if you wanna get a math

[00:31:28] just cut away to a scene where

[00:31:30] Russell Crowe's driving a scooter

[00:31:32] and I will met a bleepily blank out of your movie

[00:31:35] because that

[00:31:36] That alone

[00:31:37] That makes me maybe happier

[00:31:39] than anything on the planet

[00:31:41] It is just so enjoyable to watch

[00:31:44] Pure bliss

[00:31:45] To watch Russell's scooter

[00:31:46] on a tiny little scooter

[00:31:48] That's why he's my most favorite

[00:31:49] Well, there you go

[00:31:50] Murray, that's why you need to go watch

[00:31:51] The Pope's Exorcist

[00:31:53] Of all the Satanic movies

[00:31:54] The Pope's Exorcist

[00:31:55] has the most Russell Crowe

[00:31:57] riding scooters

[00:31:58] Yes

[00:31:59] Which is gold Murray

[00:32:01] Gold

[00:32:02] With Catholic religious movies

[00:32:04] You know

[00:32:06] I can't wait till I can actually

[00:32:07] re-watch that immaculate one

[00:32:09] So I can see if it is actually a Mondo

[00:32:11] It's bonkers man

[00:32:13] It's like the only Mondo I've given to

[00:32:15] One of these

[00:32:16] Something that bonkers?

[00:32:17] No, no

[00:32:18] To any of these

[00:32:20] Like since The Exorcist

[00:32:21] I don't know that I've given

[00:32:22] any other Mondo

[00:32:23] with any of these religious horror movies

[00:32:25] Yeah, this one wasn't a demonic

[00:32:26] horror movie though so

[00:32:28] That Jesus Juice

[00:32:30] Jesus Juice solves all problems

[00:32:32] It was some pretty evil people in it

[00:32:34] Were they evil?

[00:32:36] They're trying to bring back

[00:32:38] Jesus, it doesn't sound terrible

[00:32:40] If you're a Christian that's kind of like

[00:32:42] they're waiting for the second coming

[00:32:44] She wasn't a willing participant there Jim

[00:32:46] That's pretty evil

[00:32:48] I'm sorry, you can't just go sticking

[00:32:50] babies in people

[00:32:52] Did you follow the history

[00:32:54] of the Catholic faith?

[00:32:55] Not to find a point on it but that's exactly

[00:32:56] what happened in the original

[00:32:58] I believe it's called

[00:33:00] Immaculate Conception

[00:33:02] Somebody put a baby

[00:33:04] into somebody there

[00:33:06] Evil!

[00:33:08] I don't think God asked

[00:33:10] By the way, do you mind if I stick a baby in there?

[00:33:12] I know, maybe he should have

[00:33:14] Maybe he should have

[00:33:16] Just saying

[00:33:18] No means no, even if you're God

[00:33:20] Not to piss off all the religious right

[00:33:22] But yeah, to your point

[00:33:24] I honestly do not listen to our podcast

[00:33:26] It works both ways

[00:33:28] If Satan can do it, then God can do it

[00:33:30] I can 100% guarantee

[00:33:32] Neither of them can do it

[00:33:34] The important thing is I can 100% guarantee

[00:33:36] that there's not an alt-right Christian believer

[00:33:38] that listens to our podcast

[00:33:40] or we'd get a lot more hate mail

[00:33:42] and we only get a little bit of hate mail now

[00:33:44] Just a little tiny bit

[00:33:46] Alright, well, our last movie

[00:33:48] Ever?

[00:33:50] Of this week

[00:33:52] For you

[00:33:54] Or maybe not, we'll find out

[00:33:56] Is Dog Man

[00:33:58] Dog Man?

[00:34:00] That is by the way

[00:34:02] an excellent album by King's X

[00:34:04] Yeah, 100%

[00:34:06] We should be playing that

[00:34:08] instead of that

[00:34:10] we're going to talk about the movie Dog Man

[00:34:12] Well, in the same week

[00:34:14] we got to see Dog Man

[00:34:16] and also Monkey Man

[00:34:18] Both are about

[00:34:20] Dog Man dealing with their traumatic past

[00:34:22] Both

[00:34:24] have trans folks

[00:34:26] that are awesome

[00:34:28] and both start actors

[00:34:30] that are freaking amazing

[00:34:32] in the lead role

[00:34:34] So apparently

[00:34:36] anything that has

[00:34:38] the word

[00:34:40] man in the title

[00:34:42] will have amazing actors in it

[00:34:44] This is the thing, just go through

[00:34:46] every movie that has the name Man

[00:34:48] and it's probably true

[00:34:50] Superman

[00:34:52] Chris Farives, Murray's favorite movie

[00:34:54] and his favorite superhero

[00:34:56] Well, maybe not Superman 4

[00:34:58] but we don't need to go there

[00:35:00] Not if it doesn't have another number on it

[00:35:02] It's just the original man

[00:35:04] Which one was 3?

[00:35:06] Was 3 with Richard Pryor?

[00:35:08] No, that needed not to be made

[00:35:10] 2 was good

[00:35:12] 4 was the nuclear guy

[00:35:14] So 3 and 4 didn't need to cut

[00:35:16] The point of making is

[00:35:18] just the man part

[00:35:20] Not a 1 or 2 afterwards, just the man

[00:35:22] Ok then

[00:35:24] Go ahead

[00:35:26] So that's where pretty much

[00:35:28] where things are now no longer

[00:35:30] similar though between Monkey Man

[00:35:32] and Dog Man

[00:35:34] Plus, yes

[00:35:36] Exactly, that's what I'm saying

[00:35:38] Go through your mind, figure out all the ones

[00:35:40] that have the man in the title

[00:35:42] With this one

[00:35:44] You need to suspend a bit of belief

[00:35:46] A little bit

[00:35:48] To be ok with the whole story

[00:35:50] I feel

[00:35:52] If you believe that a man

[00:35:54] It's a little bit of belief

[00:35:56] If you believe that a man

[00:35:58] can be so close to dogs

[00:36:00] that he can actually communicate with them

[00:36:02] Then

[00:36:04] you will be in for the ride of your life

[00:36:06] potentially

[00:36:08] Caleb Landry Jones is brilliant

[00:36:10] in this and I mean

[00:36:12] Absolutely brilliant

[00:36:14] I was so captivated by him

[00:36:16] in every single scene he is in

[00:36:18] I could not stray

[00:36:20] my eyes off of him

[00:36:22] Even though there is a lot of scenes

[00:36:24] with cute puppies

[00:36:26] Which I could have been looking at

[00:36:28] But I could not take my eyes off of

[00:36:30] What did you call them? CLB?

[00:36:32] CLJ?

[00:36:34] CLJ baby

[00:36:36] There you go, this film shows

[00:36:38] the worst of an abusive childhood

[00:36:40] The boy finds his only solace

[00:36:42] is

[00:36:44] his friends who

[00:36:46] ultimately become his family

[00:36:48] who are his dogs

[00:36:50] He survives by using all his skills

[00:36:52] like acting

[00:36:54] dressing and performing in drag

[00:36:56] using his dogs to distribute wealth

[00:36:58] and oh yeah

[00:37:00] becoming the dog father

[00:37:02] by using his dog family

[00:37:04] as protection services

[00:37:06] which ultimately take him to prison

[00:37:08] and we get to meet our other lead

[00:37:10] in this who is played by

[00:37:12] Jojo T. Gibbs

[00:37:14] who last we saw

[00:37:16] in the movie past lives from this last year

[00:37:18] The acting by everyone in this

[00:37:20] is absolutely stellar

[00:37:22] the story takes you places you don't expect

[00:37:24] but then also takes you places you kind of do expect

[00:37:26] But you still don't mind

[00:37:28] because there is a lot of dogs in this

[00:37:30] and they are so fun

[00:37:32] and they are so stellar

[00:37:34] Dog man is weird and wonderful

[00:37:36] and I thought there was some moments

[00:37:38] that maybe could have been done a little

[00:37:40] differently but I didn't care

[00:37:42] because the film is worth going to

[00:37:44] if nothing else

[00:37:46] to see Caleb Landry Jones or CLJ

[00:37:48] I loved

[00:37:50] not just because of him

[00:37:52] because there was also a lot of cute

[00:37:54] dogs did I mention these dogs were cute

[00:37:56] they were adorable

[00:37:58] and that this dog man

[00:38:00] is a freaking mondo and we've got some unpacking

[00:38:02] to do

[00:38:04] this is one of those ones

[00:38:06] that as far as the story

[00:38:08] was concerned and I don't normally

[00:38:10] rate things like this because I'm not

[00:38:12] Bryce but Caleb Landry Jones

[00:38:14] in this is so beyond

[00:38:16] brilliant to see his performance

[00:38:18] in this that alone makes this

[00:38:20] movie a mondo but then add the dogs

[00:38:22] in there and it just pushes it over the level

[00:38:24] of mondo and I got some unpacking below

[00:38:26] what did you think of dog man

[00:38:28] so dog man

[00:38:30] is not the feature

[00:38:32] length directorial debut

[00:38:34] for Luke Besson

[00:38:36] who also wrote this

[00:38:38] yes

[00:38:40] however this is

[00:38:42] much like someone making his

[00:38:44] first film as every crazy

[00:38:46] idea in Besson's head

[00:38:48] ended up on the screen

[00:38:50] just supremacist exhausting

[00:38:52] Caleb Landry Jones plays Douglas

[00:38:54] who is obsessed with Shakespeare very

[00:38:56] religious is a drag queen in a wheelchair

[00:38:58] who is sort of a dog whisperer

[00:39:00] who along with his canine friends takes

[00:39:02] on and picks fights with local gangs

[00:39:04] all while using his dogs

[00:39:06] to perform heists to rob the rich of their

[00:39:08] frivolous trinkets yes there is

[00:39:10] not one frame in this film that is believable

[00:39:12] on any level

[00:39:14] and yet the performance

[00:39:16] of Caleb Landry Jones along with

[00:39:18] a very well trained dogs make this

[00:39:20] complete train wreck of a movie not

[00:39:22] only watchable but

[00:39:24] pretty much mesmerizing I wanted

[00:39:26] to hate this because there

[00:39:28] is so very much wrong with it

[00:39:32] not a lot of this makes

[00:39:34] much sense especially when

[00:39:36] the dogs are involved not sure how they

[00:39:38] end up on the roof of a house

[00:39:40] or how they're able to break climb

[00:39:42] or how they're able to break Douglas out of

[00:39:44] jail or countless other things

[00:39:46] and there are always convenient

[00:39:48] occurrences as doors open at just

[00:39:50] the right time and there just happens

[00:39:52] to be a spot where the dog can get out of the

[00:39:54] yard but once again

[00:39:56] Caleb Landry Jones is absolutely

[00:39:58] amazing in this and it's completely

[00:40:00] dumb and I mean

[00:40:02] dumb as the script was

[00:40:04] I cannot say that at any

[00:40:06] moment I was anything

[00:40:08] but entertained

[00:40:10] as I say I should have been annoyed by

[00:40:12] every ridiculous second of this

[00:40:14] but I wasn't in fact

[00:40:16] quite the opposite the more

[00:40:18] ridiculous this got the more entertaining

[00:40:20] it got it was bonkers

[00:40:22] and what it was really really

[00:40:24] ridiculous which means it was really

[00:40:26] really entertaining

[00:40:28] dogman had way too much

[00:40:30] wrong with it to be Mondo but it was

[00:40:32] way too entertaining to be a rage

[00:40:34] so I guess it was meh

[00:40:36] screw it I know this was not a great movie

[00:40:38] but for me I could not have been any

[00:40:40] more entertained so I say dogman

[00:40:42] dogman on the back of Mr.

[00:40:44] Jones was Mondo

[00:40:46] see did I predict that or what Murray

[00:40:48] did I I literally

[00:40:50] predicted that coming out

[00:40:52] and I did not know this as a fact

[00:40:54] this was the

[00:40:56] dumbest script that's ever been written

[00:40:58] ever it was so good

[00:41:00] yeah Caleb Landry Jones

[00:41:02] and the dogs make it so

[00:41:04] wonderfully just

[00:41:06] wonderful that

[00:41:08] you just you can't help but love

[00:41:10] this movie even though there's

[00:41:12] there's so many reasons to

[00:41:14] hate it but it doesn't matter

[00:41:16] because he's so good

[00:41:18] and they're so good and it's

[00:41:20] just so enjoyable

[00:41:22] there's one scene in particular

[00:41:24] where

[00:41:26] I can't remember where it was in the movie

[00:41:28] but it's got a lot of close

[00:41:30] up on him and

[00:41:32] he is

[00:41:34] so beyond acting his

[00:41:36] fucking ass off in this

[00:41:38] movie but there's one scene

[00:41:40] in particular that I just left me I was like

[00:41:42] I was almost bawling my eyes out but not because

[00:41:44] it was a sad part in the movie I was like

[00:41:46] I've never been moved by a performance

[00:41:48] in my life there's not been a performance

[00:41:50] by anyone ever in the

[00:41:52] history of film that is better than

[00:41:54] Caleb Landry Jones in this movie

[00:41:56] I'm gonna state that I will

[00:41:58] put that on my gravestone

[00:42:00] Caleb Landry Jones in Dog Man

[00:42:02] the movie that shouldn't get a Mondo

[00:42:04] is this I want you guys to write this down

[00:42:06] so that when I die this goes on my

[00:42:08] tombstone that Dog Man

[00:42:10] by Lucas who's also one of my

[00:42:12] favorite directors because he's

[00:42:14] whack-a-doo he's okay

[00:42:16] he's got French whack-a-doo is a mom

[00:42:18] yeah nothing made sense man

[00:42:20] nothing made sense but like

[00:42:22] and it didn't matter

[00:42:24] he was so

[00:42:26] as Murray says what do you call him? Creepy?

[00:42:28] Creepy as hell yeah he's one of the creepiest

[00:42:30] guys in all of you

[00:42:32] he's so naturally creepy in this but it's

[00:42:34] to a whole other level like we've seen him

[00:42:36] in Nitram was it Nitram?

[00:42:38] Nitram oh Nitram is unbelievable

[00:42:40] he was good in that but this is

[00:42:42] this is like

[00:42:44] he just had this look in his eyes sometimes

[00:42:46] he's like you are gonna murder

[00:42:48] some people right now and then he does

[00:42:50] from the very first time I saw him I thought

[00:42:52] wow this is this this this kid's gonna

[00:42:54] be a great actor and do you remember where the

[00:42:56] first time you saw him was?

[00:42:58] it was an X-Men movie

[00:43:00] yeah I think I think that

[00:43:02] might have been and he was in the Tom Cruise movie

[00:43:04] which Tom Cruise movie?

[00:43:06] the one about the flying about the running

[00:43:08] drugs and stuff

[00:43:10] the pilot one

[00:43:12] was the creepy brother

[00:43:14] what he played creepy?

[00:43:16] no not Caleb Landry Jones

[00:43:18] that's all he played

[00:43:20] that's not all he plays

[00:43:22] it's not air America it's the one where Tom Cruise is like a pilot

[00:43:24] and he's flying

[00:43:26] he's flying drugs

[00:43:28] isn't it just American made?

[00:43:30] yeah that's it American made

[00:43:32] yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I know he shows up as a creepy brother

[00:43:34] you know he's in no country for old men

[00:43:36] I did know that

[00:43:38] and he's very good in that

[00:43:40] uh... I'm trying to see

[00:43:42] he's in the social network

[00:43:44] X-Men first class

[00:43:46] X-Men first class and I think that's the first

[00:43:48] and I remember thinking

[00:43:50] who is this guy? why is he out acting everybody

[00:43:52] in this movie? yeah and he's just

[00:43:54] and he's just gotten better and better and better

[00:43:56] oh! an antiviral

[00:43:58] oh my god he's so good

[00:44:00] amazing

[00:44:02] baby Cronenberg

[00:44:04] Cronenberg new

[00:44:06] baby Cronenberg

[00:44:08] and baby baby Cronenberg

[00:44:10] we're going to see their first movie this year

[00:44:12] now it's like a sister Cronenberg

[00:44:14] yeah she's not sister Cronenberg

[00:44:16] Murray she's baby baby

[00:44:18] is that the sister of the baby Cronenberg?

[00:44:20] yep

[00:44:22] she's sister of baby Cronenberg but she's still baby baby

[00:44:24] Cronenberg

[00:44:26] there should be a song about that

[00:44:28] you know we should have a song about baby baby

[00:44:30] anyway long story short cable Andrew Jones is awesome

[00:44:32] yeah and this movie was also awesome

[00:44:34] because it was wackadoo and it was Luc Besant

[00:44:36] maybe

[00:44:38] maybe the dogs alone were cute

[00:44:40] you might have liked it because you like

[00:44:42] you like cute dogs Murray

[00:44:44] you love cute dogs

[00:44:46] alright are you done?

[00:44:48] yeah that's enough for now

[00:44:52] oh baby

[00:44:54] alright

[00:44:56] I thought I'd give you something fun this week

[00:44:58] we do like fun

[00:45:00] I like fun

[00:45:02] and puppies

[00:45:04] I don't know what your deal is

[00:45:06] I found this article

[00:45:08] and thought it was funny so I thought

[00:45:10] I'd share it with you

[00:45:12] um

[00:45:14] I assume you guys have heard

[00:45:16] of Alan Smithy

[00:45:18] which if you haven't

[00:45:20] is basically when somebody does something

[00:45:22] and they it's so bad

[00:45:24] they don't want to take credit for it

[00:45:26] they use the name Alan Smithy instead

[00:45:28] because they don't want it on their IMDB page

[00:45:30] well these are movies

[00:45:32] but we're so bad that

[00:45:34] the directors actually disowned them

[00:45:36] and refused to take credit for them

[00:45:38] we'll see which

[00:45:40] how many of them I look at

[00:45:42] I'm going to predict that out of the

[00:45:44] how many are on the list

[00:45:46] I say that I liked three of them

[00:45:48] let's see

[00:45:50] no picture order

[00:45:52] we got Hellraiser Bloodline

[00:45:54] oh it's awful

[00:45:56] which was the fourth installment in the series

[00:45:58] we directed by two different directors

[00:46:00] yeah that's always a good idea

[00:46:02] first one was so bad that Miramax ordered reshoots

[00:46:04] which he didn't come back for

[00:46:06] after the art department and camera crew

[00:46:08] were fired in the first week

[00:46:10] the new director spent

[00:46:12] two months reshooting

[00:46:14] and editing completely changed what their

[00:46:16] original director had planned

[00:46:18] neither director wanted credit for this garbage

[00:46:20] and neither one was ever heard from again

[00:46:22] lucky them

[00:46:24] they decided this was such a terrible film

[00:46:26] I got to get out of the business

[00:46:28] yeah pretty much

[00:46:30] I felt bad for the road that

[00:46:32] Hellraiser series went down

[00:46:34] oh yeah it could have been so

[00:46:36] then we have Babylon AD

[00:46:38] oh yeah

[00:46:40] this movie starred Vin Diesel

[00:46:42] when Sashel Yo

[00:46:44] sure did

[00:46:46] when Yo won the Golden Globe for everything everywhere all at once

[00:46:48] Diesel actually posted a picture

[00:46:50] of the two of them together

[00:46:52] on the set of this film

[00:46:54] even though it was probably the worst film of her career

[00:46:56] it was a box office disaster

[00:46:58] destroyed by critics and audiences

[00:47:00] yet they actually teased a sequel at the end of it

[00:47:02] the director was very unhappy with the finished product

[00:47:04] and refused to take credit for it

[00:47:06] nice

[00:47:08] next up

[00:47:10] Fantastic Four

[00:47:12] from 2015

[00:47:14] oh yeah that's a bad one too

[00:47:16] this movie was so bad

[00:47:18] that director Josh Trang

[00:47:20] trashed his reboot

[00:47:22] by telling the world there was a great version of the movie that existed

[00:47:24] just wasn't the one that was about to be released

[00:47:26] wow

[00:47:28] day before the movie was released

[00:47:30] in multiplexes around the world

[00:47:32] he basically called it shit

[00:47:34] he said a year ago

[00:47:36] I had a fantastic version of this

[00:47:38] and I would have received great reviews

[00:47:40] you'll probably never see it

[00:47:42] that's reality though

[00:47:44] 20th Century Fox actually claimed

[00:47:46] it supported the

[00:47:48] film maker's original vision

[00:47:50] yet Trang refused

[00:47:52] to acknowledge Fantastic Four as part of his filmography

[00:47:54] there you go

[00:47:56] that was terrible

[00:47:58] then we have

[00:48:00] he didn't like it

[00:48:02] Hellboy in 2019

[00:48:04] I liked it

[00:48:06] after the first two films

[00:48:08] Guillermo del Toro

[00:48:10] and Ron Perlman

[00:48:12] spent a decade repeatedly stating they wanted to do a third one

[00:48:14] yes

[00:48:16] but they were completely ignored

[00:48:18] in favor of a disastrous reboot

[00:48:20] I liked it

[00:48:22] the director of the new film called it

[00:48:24] not a film that I would consider to be part of my canon

[00:48:26] David Harbour's terrible

[00:48:28] called it the worst professional experience

[00:48:30] of his life

[00:48:32] he summed it up with the phrase

[00:48:34] you can't polish a turd

[00:48:36] no matter how much you try

[00:48:38] that's right Bryce

[00:48:40] that was fine

[00:48:42] you're fine

[00:48:44] I am thank you

[00:48:46] we have Supernova

[00:48:48] 2000

[00:48:50] Dustin Hoffman

[00:48:52] Walter Hill

[00:48:54] who directed The Warriors

[00:48:56] I love Walter Hill

[00:48:58] practically invented the buddy cop genre with 48 hours

[00:49:00] oh wait it wasn't Supernova

[00:49:02] and he worked on the story for aliens

[00:49:04] seemed like a good candidate to be a science action

[00:49:06] sci-fi action film that was described as

[00:49:08] Hellraiser in Space

[00:49:10] the movie starred James Spader

[00:49:12] and Angela Bassett

[00:49:14] so it should have been good

[00:49:16] yeah yeah I remember

[00:49:18] Hill said the budget was cut halfway

[00:49:20] through the shooting

[00:49:22] spent months trying to cut together a decent edit

[00:49:24] yeah that's nice

[00:49:26] and finally decided enough was enough

[00:49:28] and he quit

[00:49:30] they brought on another director for reshoots

[00:49:32] and even Francis Ford Coppola

[00:49:34] was enlisted to try to make it salvageable

[00:49:36] that didn't happen

[00:49:38] and two years behind schedule

[00:49:40] it sent to cinemas to die a slow

[00:49:42] death

[00:49:44] wow that's uh three directors

[00:49:46] you know you're getting in for a treat

[00:49:48] yeah exactly

[00:49:50] then we have Accidental

[00:49:52] Love

[00:49:54] already the name is making me hate that

[00:49:56] I don't think I know this one

[00:49:58] once the bottom fell out of the movie

[00:50:00] David O Russell planned on making

[00:50:02] he completely watched

[00:50:04] his hands of the Broadway

[00:50:06] he probably did

[00:50:08] that didn't stop the movie studio at all

[00:50:10] who went ahead and pieced together the film anyway

[00:50:12] it was funny

[00:50:14] there were over a dozen shutdowns

[00:50:16] and multiple

[00:50:18] walkouts from the cast and crew due to financial issues

[00:50:20] this was in the rager dare bag

[00:50:22] like a few months ago

[00:50:24] and Russell stated he was no longer involved

[00:50:26] in the project and could not call it

[00:50:28] his film

[00:50:30] four years later it was released with a fake director

[00:50:32] and writer credit

[00:50:34] like they just put in names of people

[00:50:36] who don't exist

[00:50:38] you would have thought that a movie starring Jessica Beale

[00:50:40] James Marsden and Tracy Morgan

[00:50:42] would be bad

[00:50:44] don't forget Jill and Hall

[00:50:46] Jakey

[00:50:48] don't you remember he just made

[00:50:50] Roadhouse

[00:50:52] I don't because I didn't watch Jim

[00:50:54] you're the only sadist that would put yourself through that

[00:50:56] no no I'm a masochist

[00:50:58] and finally

[00:51:00] participation of

[00:51:02] our upcoming

[00:51:04] what's coming up here

[00:51:06] in the broadcast here

[00:51:08] we have Fear and Desire

[00:51:10] Fear and Desire

[00:51:12] 1953

[00:51:14] this

[00:51:16] is Stanley Kubrick's

[00:51:18] first film

[00:51:20] it mysteriously

[00:51:22] disappeared from circulation in the years

[00:51:24] after its release

[00:51:26] the urban legend is that Kubrick destroyed

[00:51:28] the original negative

[00:51:30] and tracked down as many remaining copies

[00:51:32] as he could find

[00:51:34] despite that

[00:51:36] Fear and Desire has survived

[00:51:38] when it became public

[00:51:40] domain

[00:51:42] and started screening for movie fans

[00:51:44] Kubrick openly trashed the film

[00:51:46] to discourage people from watching it

[00:51:48] which made everybody watch it

[00:51:50] calling the drama a bumbling amateur film

[00:51:52] exercise that wasn't reflective of who he was

[00:51:54] as an author

[00:51:56] and it's rated G

[00:51:58] Stanley Kubrick rated G

[00:52:00] 1953

[00:52:02] if you want real crap check out those movies

[00:52:04] I'm gonna watch Fear and Desire tonight

[00:52:06] some of them are pretty good

[00:52:08] no I'm a

[00:52:10] team Murray here

[00:52:12] yeah well

[00:52:14] I just presented

[00:52:16] I don't know if I agree

[00:52:18] temperature rising

[00:52:22] vision blurring

[00:52:24] rage

[00:52:26] taking over

[00:52:32] music

[00:52:36] music

[00:52:44] alright

[00:52:46] my rage this week is

[00:52:48] that Bryce and I went into the movies

[00:52:50] on Monday

[00:52:52] and so it's now what

[00:52:54] Wednesday

[00:52:56] yeah it's Wednesday

[00:52:58] and Bryce

[00:53:00] the entire first 20 minutes

[00:53:02] that we're sitting in the movie theater

[00:53:04] before the movie starts

[00:53:06] was going on about what his rage was

[00:53:08] and then wouldn't tell me what the fuck it was

[00:53:10] so my rage this week

[00:53:12] is that Bryce is supposedly

[00:53:14] one of my closest friends

[00:53:16] and he couldn't even give me a

[00:53:18] inkling of what he's raging about today

[00:53:20] keeping secrets

[00:53:22] so that's my rage

[00:53:24] Bryce is keeping secrets from me

[00:53:26] he's all mysterious now

[00:53:28] and some kind of trap

[00:53:30] that he's not shared with us Murray

[00:53:32] with us

[00:53:34] that's my rage

[00:53:36] quit keeping secrets

[00:53:38] I had a good time at the movies

[00:53:40] I had 3 Mondos

[00:53:42] 3 Mondos and a man

[00:53:44] 2 Maz a rage and a Mondo

[00:53:46] 3 out of 4 Mondos

[00:53:48] you didn't have a rage

[00:53:50] 2 out of 3 ain't bad

[00:53:52] 3 out of 4 ain't bad

[00:53:54] 3 out of 4 is even better

[00:53:56] ?

[00:53:58] ?

[00:54:00] ?

[00:54:02] ?

[00:54:04] ?

[00:54:06] ?

[00:54:08] ?

[00:54:10] ?

[00:54:12] ?

[00:54:14] ?

[00:54:16] so you gonna have to like really

[00:54:18] listen because it's pretty

[00:54:20] convoluted but

[00:54:22] perfect here we go

[00:54:24] So my CineClub membership through CinePlex is something I pay $9.99 per month for.

[00:54:32] Plus tax.

[00:54:33] For that $9.99 I get one free movie.

[00:54:36] Plus tax.

[00:54:37] Every month, which already pays for the membership.

[00:54:41] Plus I get 20% off concessions, no online purchasing fee and up to two admissions for

[00:54:48] $9.99 per screening.

[00:54:50] Two?

[00:54:51] Up to two admissions for $9.99 per screening.

[00:54:55] That last part is sort of true.

[00:54:59] When I pull up my CineClub membership page it says I only have one admission for $9.99.

[00:55:06] It had said this for a few months.

[00:55:09] And it would not let me purchase two tickets for $9.99.

[00:55:13] I would try to click on the button to purchase two tickets, but it was stuck on one.

[00:55:18] Which I guess makes sense because my membership page says that I only have one.

[00:55:22] But why?

[00:55:23] Right on that same page that says I only have $9.99 ticket it says that with your CineClub

[00:55:32] membership you get up to two tickets for $9.99.

[00:55:37] So I call up CinePlex and I ask them, what gives?

[00:55:41] The gentleman on the other end of the line explained to me that I have up to two

[00:55:46] tickets.

[00:55:49] But if I only purchase one then I only have one left and I have to purchase that one before

[00:55:57] it resets to two?

[00:55:59] I told them that I was pretty sure that was not the case.

[00:56:03] And could he perhaps put me through to someone that is more familiar with the inner workings

[00:56:09] of the CineClub?

[00:56:11] He put me on hold for about three minutes and when he came back he said that he

[00:56:15] had talked to his supervisor.

[00:56:17] Supervisor?

[00:56:18] Yeah, sure he did.

[00:56:22] And assured me that what he had told me had now been confirmed.

[00:56:28] So I said okay so what you're telling me right now is I have only $1.99.99 ticket available

[00:56:38] but when I purchased my next single ticket for $9.99 my account will reset to two tickets

[00:56:45] available for $9.99.

[00:56:47] He said yes, that was the case.

[00:56:50] I said I hope you're right otherwise I will not be very happy.

[00:56:55] In hindsight I should have just bought a ticket while I had them on the line.

[00:56:59] But whatever.

[00:57:01] So the next day I decided to use that single $9.99 ticket that was available to me to

[00:57:07] purchase one admission to Problemista, which we reviewed earlier on the podcast.

[00:57:13] After doing this I went back to my CineClub membership page absolutely more excited than

[00:57:20] I'd ever been about anything in my life to see the tickets available.

[00:57:25] I couldn't wait to see the page so I could see that giant number two where it indicated

[00:57:30] how many $9.99 admissions were available to me.

[00:57:36] There was no number two.

[00:57:38] It was still a giant number one.

[00:57:40] Sounds like it was a number two for you.

[00:57:43] The Cineplex guy had lied to me.

[00:57:47] So I immediately phoned Cineplex again and amazingly enough I got the same guy.

[00:57:55] So I was like dude you told me that if I had purchased a ticket for $9.99 I would

[00:58:00] then get reset to two $9.99 tickets available and I still only have one available.

[00:58:06] What gives buddy?

[00:58:08] So he tells me that he indeed told me the truth.

[00:58:12] However, because I have one free ticket available to me I would have to use that before it

[00:58:22] reset to two available $9.99 tickets available.

[00:58:27] And it was at this point I started laughing as hard as I have ever laughed in quite a while.

[00:58:33] I'm like okay buddy so what you're telling me is that anytime I have unused free tickets

[00:58:41] on my account I will only be able to purchase one ticket for $9.99 until that free ticket

[00:58:48] has been used.

[00:58:51] He said yes.

[00:58:54] Oh I'm seeing why you told me it wouldn't affect me.

[00:58:57] And you're also telling me that even if I have no free tickets I will need to use a single

[00:59:04] $9.99 purchase twice before it will reset to two tickets?

[00:59:09] He said yes.

[00:59:11] Then I asked him what if I start accumulating free tickets and do not use them for months.

[00:59:16] So let's say I have like six or seven free tickets.

[00:59:19] Well hi I have no $9.99 admissions until I use all but one of them.

[00:59:24] At that point I'll only have $1.99 admission until I use the last free one at which point

[00:59:31] then it would reset to two?

[00:59:33] He said no.

[00:59:35] I will always have at least one $9.99 admission no matter how many free tickets I have accumulated.

[00:59:45] I said okay.

[00:59:47] So I put what he told me to the test on Monday.

[00:59:50] Nice.

[00:59:51] I used my free ticket and went to see if my $9.99 admission reset to two available and

[00:59:58] guess what?

[00:59:59] It did.

[01:00:00] It did.

[01:00:02] So then I purchased a $9.99 admission and according to him I would then only have one more

[01:00:10] admission at that price and I would have to use it before it reset back to two $9.99 admissions.

[01:00:18] That is not true.

[01:00:19] He had no idea what he was talking about on that one.

[01:00:21] It turns out as long as you have no free tickets available you will always be able

[01:00:25] to purchase two tickets at the $9.99 price to every individual screening.

[01:00:33] What a ridiculous convoluted program this is.

[01:00:36] You know the message I'm reading through this?

[01:00:40] Can you guess what I'm going to say?

[01:00:41] Yeah I don't care.

[01:00:42] You can say it afterwards.

[01:00:43] With Landmark Movie Lovers Club for the exact same price it does not matter if I have a

[01:00:50] free admission.

[01:00:51] I will always have two $9.99 admission available to me for every screening.

[01:00:56] No convoluted rules where only one is available in certain situations like Cineplex but whatever

[01:01:03] they're both good deals but one of them is just a little better which is the

[01:01:08] case more often than not when comparing the two leading movie theaters in Chains in Canada.

[01:01:14] You know what else?

[01:01:18] What?

[01:01:19] With Landmark you get 10% off concession.

[01:01:23] You don't get with Cineplex.

[01:01:24] No no you do.

[01:01:25] You get 20% off.

[01:01:26] Of both.

[01:01:27] Of both.

[01:01:28] Yeah you do.

[01:01:29] No you do.

[01:01:30] Well use because you don't have the membership.

[01:01:31] Yeah you get 20% off both.

[01:01:32] So they're the exact same deal except Cineplex is more convoluted.

[01:01:37] So I just wish that Landmark could be a little less mainstream and then I'd be like super happy

[01:01:43] because I'm pumping the tires of Landmark but you're still not bringing in the movies I want

[01:01:47] Landmark.

[01:01:48] You'll be happy to know that this coming weekend Landmark has two art house films that

[01:01:56] we'll be able to watch.

[01:01:57] Well you'll be able to watch.

[01:01:58] I'll be an Edmonton.

[01:01:59] Well they'll be a Landmark and Edmonton.

[01:02:00] Oh I hope they're available in Edmonton.

[01:02:02] No I think they're a little more mainstream in Edmonton though so you probably they're

[01:02:06] not as art housey as we are in Calgary.

[01:02:08] At any rate I just I could not believe I went all through that to just find out.

[01:02:13] I can't believe that you subjected our listeners to ten minutes of that because that was like

[01:02:18] completely boring.

[01:02:19] Whatever.

[01:02:20] And the ultimate message of what he said.

[01:02:22] No I'm educating the masses.

[01:02:25] Let's just go back to what I tell him.

[01:02:26] Well the moral of the story is use up your free tickets when you have them.

[01:02:29] Yeah that's what I've been telling him because you know what I mean.

[01:02:31] I don't like using my free ticket.

[01:02:32] If he drops dead tomorrow.

[01:02:33] You don't like free stuff.

[01:02:34] I like it.

[01:02:35] I like it.

[01:02:36] If he drops dead tomorrow he's got so many free cards on all his different movie cards

[01:02:43] that nobody will get to use and that's what I've been telling him from day one if you

[01:02:47] just would have listened to me the rage now see this is then I would never would have

[01:02:51] learned all this.

[01:02:53] You wouldn't have had to learn it because I've never had to learn it because I use

[01:02:55] my free shit up when it's free because if I dropped it tomorrow probably from a stroke

[01:02:59] from listening to you talk it it's easily gonna make it so I don't have to leave

[01:03:04] that in my will to somebody but I can tell you this if I do die I'm leaving it all to

[01:03:09] Murray because you don't deserve it.

[01:03:10] That's right.

[01:03:11] You're not gonna use the free shit I give you.

[01:03:12] That's right.

[01:03:13] I'm giving it all to Murray.

[01:03:14] I use it eventually.

[01:03:15] I love free stuff.

[01:03:16] No because you literally just cause sinoplex a lot of stress because you're being

[01:03:20] too dumb.

[01:03:21] No reason.

[01:03:22] By the way but when I was like laughing my ass off the guy found the humor in

[01:03:25] it too he was just he was laughing on the other end too.

[01:03:28] I was like I'm sorry buddy I'm not trying to be a pain in the butt I'm just

[01:03:32] trying to understand exactly what every convoluted rule you're gonna throw out

[01:03:35] means he doesn't understand it.

[01:03:37] Well that's the thing works for them and he thought that's the whole thing.

[01:03:40] He understood that it was just so dumb.

[01:03:42] It was stupid.

[01:03:43] They had to make it simple.

[01:03:44] I think the other thing is that he's probably like who in there.

[01:03:46] He's probably we put you on off for three minutes.

[01:03:48] You know what they ask about you goes who in their right mind isn't using

[01:03:52] their free tickets and spending more money than they have to.

[01:03:55] Hey hey Foster check out this dude blah blah blah.

[01:04:00] And you know what they used to have.

[01:04:02] What in the old days paper money punch cards.

[01:04:05] Oh that's two out of like four or five movies you get one free.

[01:04:08] Oh I've killed so many trees whatever are the Brazilian rainforest would be

[01:04:13] much better if they hadn't made punch cards.

[01:04:15] That was a hundred percent.

[01:04:18] There you go.

[01:04:19] I'm sure that's the only reason it's the only reason.

[01:04:21] Whatever.

[01:04:23] You're done.

[01:04:24] I'm done.

[01:04:25] And once again the Murman was right.

[01:04:30] Rage subsided.

[01:04:33] Plus sign.

[01:04:36] Hinger feet.

[01:04:40] All right well you know we did not have a charge from last week mostly

[01:04:45] because we're getting closer to having no more mesmerized off because

[01:04:50] apparently there isn't any left but on top of that we're coming into

[01:04:55] the festival season so we got to clean our pipes out.

[01:05:01] We got to have lots of time to watch the I think it's 30 movies we're going to

[01:05:06] watch a lot of the festival.

[01:05:07] Yeah well we can only see them all because they're not in the same we can

[01:05:12] only go where put our asses in seats however many times a day so get ready

[01:05:17] for that.

[01:05:18] So for those of you who are listening to us your first time and you made

[01:05:20] it through Bryce's rage which you know they're not normally that long

[01:05:23] and they're not normally that terrible so be patient with us for next

[01:05:26] week but.

[01:05:27] Ow!

[01:05:28] Ow!

[01:05:29] Go to our webs yeah that's how I feel oh he's having another cramp.

[01:05:33] We're all in pain.

[01:05:35] He's having a cramp.

[01:05:36] So go to our website filmrageyc.com and if I can sample Bryce

[01:05:42] screaming from his cramps though that will be on our list page but go

[01:05:46] to our list page and look up we have five categories we have

[01:05:51] mesmerizing repulsive doubted and undoubted and we have another

[01:05:55] one that was they were either repulsive or mesmerizing and they were

[01:05:59] taken off from somebody else.

[01:06:02] So this week I want to put forward and I don't know why we didn't

[01:06:05] have this unless we did try to put it on before and the reason

[01:06:09] we didn't put it on is because I thought that I hated Eyes Wide

[01:06:13] Shut.

[01:06:14] Oh you did too.

[01:06:15] Yeah because I watched it when it first came out in 1999.

[01:06:19] Yeah.

[01:06:20] You know what I'm going to rewatch it so I rewatched it over

[01:06:23] the weekend and I didn't hate it.

[01:06:26] Okay.

[01:06:27] There was parts about it that I hated but I didn't hate it so

[01:06:31] that made it a myth which opens the door for us to talk

[01:06:34] about Stanley Kubrick.

[01:06:37] So are you ready for this?

[01:06:39] I am.

[01:06:40] 1962's Lolita it was Mondo.

[01:06:42] Mondo.

[01:06:43] 1964's Doctor Strange Love which is Mondo.

[01:06:46] Mondo.

[01:06:47] 1968's 2001 A Space Odyssey.

[01:06:50] Which is a Mondo.

[01:06:51] Mondo.

[01:06:52] 1971's A Clockwork Orange which is a Mondo.

[01:06:54] Mondo.

[01:06:55] 1975 Barry Linden which is a Mondo.

[01:06:58] Mondo.

[01:06:59] 1980's The Shining is a Mondo.

[01:07:01] Mondo.

[01:07:02] 1987's Full Metal Jacket which is a Mondo.

[01:07:04] Meh.

[01:07:05] Uh oh.

[01:07:06] And then Eyes Wide Shut which is a...

[01:07:11] Meh.

[01:07:12] No!

[01:07:13] How could this happen?

[01:07:15] However.

[01:07:16] No!

[01:07:17] What?

[01:07:18] I'm willing to do something.

[01:07:19] Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut?

[01:07:21] Not both of them.

[01:07:22] I know what...

[01:07:23] What do you have to watch?

[01:07:24] I've watched Eyes Wide Shut twice.

[01:07:25] I know what it is.

[01:07:26] Okay so it's a...

[01:07:27] I didn't hate it but it's a man.

[01:07:28] Yeah it was a man right?

[01:07:29] Yeah good okay.

[01:07:30] I have only watched Full Metal Jacket once.

[01:07:33] I watched it when I was very quite young.

[01:07:36] I would have been what 13 when I watched it.

[01:07:38] I love that movie.

[01:07:39] It's in my...

[01:07:42] In my Vietnam War movies it's my favorite Vietnam War movie.

[01:07:45] I'm not a war movie guy.

[01:07:47] I know you're not.

[01:07:48] I know it makes this one so good.

[01:07:49] Because the acting is so stellar.

[01:07:51] So I will rewatch Full Metal Jacket.

[01:07:55] Nice!

[01:07:56] But remember it's gotta be a mondo.

[01:07:58] Yeah yeah we get it.

[01:08:00] Our listeners are excited about this.

[01:08:02] But it's the one on here where I could say...

[01:08:06] The possibility?

[01:08:07] It's a possibility but I...

[01:08:09] It was you know it was fine but you know I was also very young.

[01:08:13] You were young.

[01:08:14] That's like me when I watched Eyes Wide Shut.

[01:08:16] Yeah you're so young when Eyes Wide Shut came out.

[01:08:19] I miss Superrick.

[01:08:20] He only directed...

[01:08:21] He was just a little baby.

[01:08:22] He was ish.

[01:08:23] And Stan only directed 13 movies in his life.

[01:08:26] Yes.

[01:08:27] And you have to have eight that are mondo?

[01:08:29] Yeah well no there can't be two mezz or a rage.

[01:08:33] No no no.

[01:08:34] Can't be new two mezz back to back.

[01:08:35] There's none that I would rage about but there's some I haven't seen.

[01:08:39] I think there's a lot you haven't seen.

[01:08:40] You haven't seen Lolita?

[01:08:41] No I haven't seen Lolita.

[01:08:42] Have you seen 2001?

[01:08:43] Yes I didn't like it.

[01:08:45] Like you didn't like it's a rage?

[01:08:47] No it was too long I didn't like the ending.

[01:08:49] Alright.

[01:08:50] Did you see Clockwork Orange?

[01:08:52] I did I loved that.

[01:08:53] Alright.

[01:08:54] Have you seen Barry Lyndon?

[01:08:55] I've never heard of it.

[01:08:56] Have you seen Dr. Strangelove?

[01:08:57] No.

[01:08:58] Alright.

[01:08:59] You haven't seen Lolita.

[01:09:00] The Shining?

[01:09:01] Haven't seen it?

[01:09:02] I haven't seen it but I'm sure it's us.

[01:09:03] Full Metal Jacket?

[01:09:04] Did you see him?

[01:09:05] No I know War movie fans.

[01:09:06] And you're not gonna like well you might be mad for...

[01:09:07] Are you kidding Eyes Wide Shut?

[01:09:09] Is your favorite movie?

[01:09:10] With Tom Cruise?

[01:09:11] Yeah.

[01:09:12] And a Naked Nicole Kidman?

[01:09:13] Yeah.

[01:09:14] Are you kidding me?

[01:09:15] Okay.

[01:09:16] It screwed up but it's a Mondo.

[01:09:17] Thank God.

[01:09:18] There was nothing there to take them off.

[01:09:20] Yeah there was nothing that took them off so that's good.

[01:09:22] Except for possibly me with Full Metal Jacket.

[01:09:25] Well you know...

[01:09:26] I'm sure it's a good movie he was in it.

[01:09:29] You know what we have all?

[01:09:30] Harley Ermey's in it.

[01:09:31] We've all done something that's caused us the rest of us to not be happy.

[01:09:36] Adam Baldwin, not one of the Baldmans.

[01:09:39] Uh huh.

[01:09:40] Uh, Harless Howard.

[01:09:42] Yep it's good.

[01:09:44] Alright so we're gonna find out maybe next week whether or not Stanley Kubrick because

[01:09:48] now he's no longer with us will be, uh, undoubted for life.

[01:09:53] There we go.

[01:09:54] There we go.

[01:09:55] That's good.

[01:09:56] That was a good list.

[01:09:57] Maybe next week I don't know.

[01:09:58] I've got a busy week.

[01:10:00] Oh you and your...

[01:10:01] Oh I'm mostly busy Wednesday but we'll see.

[01:10:04] We'll see what happens.

[01:10:05] Yep.

[01:10:06] Alright.

[01:10:07] Last week on Rage or Dare, Jim thought he would get a pass and pull from our listeners bag

[01:10:20] of meh.

[01:10:21] However, he soon realized our listeners in fact do understand how to make him rage as

[01:10:26] he pulled what may be the biggest rage in film rage history.

[01:10:31] That's right he pulled Tron Legacy.

[01:10:36] Damn it why didn't I think of that one?

[01:10:38] Not even the dude could save that.

[01:10:40] Guess he should have written more tank programs.

[01:10:43] This week our two little Ragelings can choose to rage or dare or merman or Casey.

[01:10:50] Hmm, that's a mouthful.

[01:10:53] Doesn't really roll off the tongue.

[01:10:56] Rage or dare or other options.

[01:10:59] Eh, well workshop it.

[01:11:02] Get in front of some focus groups and see what the kids think.

[01:11:04] Anyway let's hear what Jim has to say about the dude and his long forgotten offspring and

[01:11:09] see if the quality is as good as the original 8-bit game of Tron or if the dude should have

[01:11:13] just stayed at the bowling alley.

[01:11:15] Or even just at the arcade.

[01:11:18] No matter what I'm sure our listeners are in for a treat hearing what Jim has to say.

[01:11:23] Damn it why wasn't this in my bag?

[01:11:26] I mean I'm known for my horrible bag of remakes and unnecessary sequels.

[01:11:30] How did I miss this one?

[01:11:34] It's true I don't know how he missed this one.

[01:11:36] Of all things.

[01:11:37] You know what?

[01:11:38] Here's the thing.

[01:11:39] I did a fairly sizable write up about this, about all the reasons that made me rage on

[01:11:45] this film.

[01:11:47] From the very beginning of the movie the person who plays his son is so annoying

[01:11:52] that alone made me want to rage.

[01:11:54] But then on top of that his dad has been missing for like 20 years and then

[01:12:00] in a matter of seconds his partner gets a pager text that they say, oh you should probably

[01:12:06] go back to where he was and put a quarter in the machine.

[01:12:10] And like in five seconds he finds out he's created this world behind a machine.

[01:12:15] I'm already like this is the dumbest.

[01:12:16] That sounds pretty cool.

[01:12:17] No it's like they could have found his dad like 20 years ago.

[01:12:22] And then on that you've got the...

[01:12:25] Yeah you are the simplest solution.

[01:12:28] And then on top of that we get the dude who's basically the dude from...

[01:12:32] We get two dudes.

[01:12:33] Yeah well you get more than two dudes.

[01:12:36] At least two of the dudes.

[01:12:38] There's multiple dudes but they got CGI dude which is absolutely terrible.

[01:12:44] Which is absolutely terrible and then he got old dude who's basically dude and he's

[01:12:48] supposed to be like a genius programmer who talks like and walks and is the dude.

[01:12:53] But he got stuck inside his own game.

[01:12:55] Yeah this movie was so awful and it was over two hours long.

[01:12:59] I hated every frame of this movie.

[01:13:01] I hated the fact they were playing Frisbee Golf to kill each other which made no sense

[01:13:05] whatsoever why they're...

[01:13:06] It's a disc.

[01:13:07] Yeah it's...

[01:13:09] This was so painful to watch.

[01:13:11] I hated this so badly I cannot believe our listeners bag of mad produced the worst movie

[01:13:17] I've ever seen.

[01:13:18] And I remember hating this when I went to the cinema to see it and rewatching

[01:13:22] it again and again my wife, God love her, she looks at me and she says why?

[01:13:30] Why?

[01:13:31] Why?

[01:13:32] Why?

[01:13:33] And then of course we had to go back and watch the original which was still also terrible.

[01:13:36] It was dating.

[01:13:37] But so you've got a terrible movie that also made me make another terrible movie.

[01:13:41] It's...

[01:13:42] Drone the game was fun.

[01:13:43] I remember when there was this in Missile Command I would sometimes play Drone.

[01:13:48] Other than whatever that speeder bike with the colors.

[01:13:51] Yeah it was a laser bike with the things.

[01:13:53] That was fun.

[01:13:54] That was it that's the game.

[01:13:55] Well that's not the whole game there was other things in the game.

[01:13:57] There was like four of them but that was all I really cared about.

[01:13:59] And there's the one where you throw the disc and that was horrible.

[01:14:01] There's a bunch of games in it.

[01:14:04] They're all terrible.

[01:14:05] So the game...

[01:14:06] The games within a game.

[01:14:07] The game and the movies Tron and if they ever make another one I hope I'm

[01:14:12] dead when that happens because it's so terrible.

[01:14:15] Yeah I'm almost convinced I must have fallen asleep through that because I don't remember

[01:14:21] it.

[01:14:22] Well there were two things.

[01:14:23] That was back in the days where I didn't fall asleep in anything.

[01:14:25] I mean I...

[01:14:26] Now you fall asleep in everything.

[01:14:27] I do not.

[01:14:28] That is a vicious rumor that was started by you guys.

[01:14:33] Hashtag wienergate.

[01:14:35] Whatever.

[01:14:36] There's so much wienergate going on right now.

[01:14:37] There actually were two things about this movie I didn't mind.

[01:14:39] I mean yeah it was nowhere near...

[01:14:41] Did you watch it again or something?

[01:14:42] No I watched it the first time.

[01:14:43] Well I watched it a couple times.

[01:14:44] And you remembered it?

[01:14:45] Of course.

[01:14:46] He willingly watched it a couple times, Joe.

[01:14:48] I think he was on TV at some point.

[01:14:50] Michael Sheen as always is awesome.

[01:14:54] I wouldn't say awesome.

[01:14:55] He was the best thing about it.

[01:14:57] Yeah okay I'll give you that.

[01:14:58] I didn't mind Olivia Wilde's because Olivia Wilde...

[01:15:00] I wasn't really listening.

[01:15:02] Who...

[01:15:03] You're pulling?

[01:15:04] We are pulling from either Casey or Merman or the dare bag.

[01:15:09] Merman's got a lot of stuff in here.

[01:15:13] Yeah let's go Merman.

[01:15:14] Mostly stuff on Tubi so you should be able to find it.

[01:15:17] Nice.

[01:15:18] You know what?

[01:15:19] Ain't nothing wrong with Tubi.

[01:15:20] Tubi Tuesday.

[01:15:21] Yeah they got some interesting stuff.

[01:15:22] I've watched some stuff on Tubi recently.

[01:15:25] Yeah.

[01:15:26] I'm broke so I watch a lot of free stuff.

[01:15:28] Yeah.

[01:15:29] Alright we are going to be watching...

[01:15:31] Yes.

[01:15:32] Double Trouble.

[01:15:33] I was hoping you were going to say double impact.

[01:15:36] Nope double trouble from 1992.

[01:15:39] I don't know what that is.

[01:15:40] Murray you've literally made my life happier.

[01:15:42] I don't know what double trouble is.

[01:15:44] I don't know either but...

[01:15:45] Well how did it make your life happier if you don't know where it is?

[01:15:48] Because it's got the name double and trouble at rimes.

[01:15:51] So this place is much in it.

[01:15:52] Wait a minute does this have...

[01:15:53] Is this Mary Kate and Ashley?

[01:15:55] Cause we have a rule about that.

[01:15:57] Yeah it can't be that.

[01:15:58] I don't think it was.

[01:15:59] I can't remember who it was.

[01:16:01] Is it...

[01:16:02] I was kind of on a tear.

[01:16:03] I picked a few actors and I basically listened to older movies.

[01:16:07] Wow this is going to be terrible.

[01:16:09] I remember seeing this.

[01:16:10] Oh it's got the what are they called the Barbarian brothers or something?

[01:16:15] Yep.

[01:16:16] Peter Paul and David Paul.

[01:16:18] Yeah.

[01:16:19] Yeah this is bad.

[01:16:21] I can't wait to see this.

[01:16:22] This could be a Mondo.

[01:16:23] Double trouble.

[01:16:24] Hopefully he's still on the...

[01:16:26] Nice.

[01:16:27] Oh yeah we'll find it.

[01:16:28] Alright well I'm looking forward to that.

[01:16:32] Something to be delivers always the good bad.

[01:16:34] Also Bow and Twins try to smash a jute smuggling ring.

[01:16:37] Yeah I actually think I saw it.

[01:16:40] I think it's a Mondo.

[01:16:41] And it got an awesome 4.1 on the 10th.

[01:16:43] 4.1?

[01:16:44] We've given Mondos up to less than that.

[01:16:46] Hey Roddy McDowell is it?

[01:16:47] I love Roddy McDowell.

[01:16:48] David Carrity.

[01:16:49] The original Monkey Man.

[01:16:52] So much Monkey Man.

[01:16:53] Apparently that's what we're going to watch every week.

[01:16:56] A Monkey Man movie.

[01:16:57] Sure.

[01:16:58] So much monkey.

[01:16:59] Not enough Monkey Man.

[01:17:00] Alright well...

[01:17:01] It's been a good time.

[01:17:04] Bryce on drugs.

[01:17:05] I'm not on stuff too...

[01:17:07] Why do you continue to try to make rumors?

[01:17:10] The two worst rages that have ever been created.

[01:17:12] Well thanks ragers for listening.
