[00:00:00] .
[00:00:05] It's time to feel the rage.
[00:00:10] Welcome to Film Rage where we talk movies and theaters, screening, classic films as well.
[00:00:15] Directors and actors beware as you cannot hide from the rage.
[00:00:19] My name is Bryce and I'm part of the Film Rage crew which also includes Jim.
[00:00:24] Hey Jim. Hey, hey, Brosh.
[00:00:27] And we got the Merman.
[00:00:31] Yo. Hey Merman, how are you doing?
[00:00:34] Oh Ducky. How's your finger skills?
[00:00:37] My finger skills? You know.
[00:00:39] Boing!
[00:00:41] I'm on top of it.
[00:00:43] Alright. Alright.
[00:00:45] So with the introductions out of the way.
[00:00:51] Let's Rage on.

[00:01:15] And we'll watch it. If you played anywhere in cinemas in the world and it's not a movie made for children.
[00:01:23] Alright, let's get to raging.
[00:01:26] I think Bryce's drugs are kicking in.
[00:01:32] Comes to clown music.
[00:01:34] Clown nothing.
[00:01:45] I don't know.
[00:01:47] He tells so.
[00:01:49] At first he jams at the movies.
[00:01:51] Here he comes swimming to you.
[00:01:56] Alright.
[00:01:59] So yeah, you guys saw at least four movies this week.
[00:02:06] And the big one of course for the weekend was...
[00:02:09] SETTLE WAR!
[00:02:11] Which was less of a war and more of other stuff.
[00:02:15] Maybe.
[00:02:16] Yeah, I think given the action you guys probably both gave it a rage.
[00:02:23] What?
[00:02:24] Cause there wasn't any action?
[00:02:26] Cause there was very little action.
[00:02:28] There wasn't enough action but there was a little lot of talking.
[00:02:31] Are we talking?
[00:02:33] Sometimes I talk.
[00:02:35] We have Arcadian.
[00:02:37] Arcadian!
[00:02:39] Which I saw with Jim.
[00:02:41] Come out to play!
[00:02:43] Yeah, it had a few problems.
[00:02:45] I think Jim might have given it a meh.
[00:02:49] And I think Bryce probably hated it cause it was like a horror movie but it wasn't.
[00:02:54] So I think he probably raged about it.
[00:02:56] Oh!
[00:02:57] You don't love your Nick Cage today, Brycey.
[00:03:00] Then we have Wicked Little Letters.
[00:03:02] I never loved Nick Cage.
[00:03:03] You love Nick Cage.
[00:03:04] I saw Wicked Little Letters with Jim.
[00:03:06] Yes!
[00:03:07] It was a good time.
[00:03:08] It was enjoyable.
[00:03:09] It was.
[00:03:10] Two old ladies in Alder Swear and I think...
[00:03:13] One old lady.
[00:03:15] Ish.
[00:03:16] She's middle aged.
[00:03:17] Jessie is no spring chicken either.
[00:03:19] She's kind of a spring chicken.
[00:03:21] She's springier chicken-ier than Olivia Colman who's middle aged.
[00:03:25] She's probably my age so shut up you two.
[00:03:28] There you go.
[00:03:29] I still think Olivia Colman's hot.
[00:03:31] I think you guys both gave that a mondo cause it would be a good movie.
[00:03:36] Sting which, what else is on the trailer, is just your typical horror movie with bugs.
[00:03:42] Arachnophobia!
[00:03:43] Bryce doesn't like the horror movies very much.
[00:03:45] Big ass spider!
[00:03:46] At least not the traditional kind.
[00:03:48] I think Bryce gave it a man and I think Jim might have mondoed it.
[00:03:51] What?
[00:03:52] And the last one, In Flames which we didn't see but Jim did.
[00:03:57] I think...
[00:03:58] Didn't you love the trailer on this though, Mark?
[00:04:00] I didn't even watch the trailer.
[00:04:01] I watched like 30 seconds of the trailer and I was already zoned out.
[00:04:05] What?
[00:04:06] But it's still the kind of movie that Jim would like so let's give that one a mondo too.
[00:04:10] Okay.
[00:04:11] Do you think Bryce would have given it a mondo?
[00:04:13] Probably.
[00:04:14] He stayed awake for it.
[00:04:17] Hashtag wienergate.
[00:04:19] Wienergate, whatever that means.
[00:04:22] It's not a thing.
[00:04:24] It's a total thing.
[00:04:26] People ask me all the time, is this wienergate again?
[00:04:29] How many times did Bryce fall asleep this week?
[00:04:32] Well I fell asleep once this week.
[00:04:34] I always tell you if I fell asleep.
[00:04:36] Unless you forget because you fell asleep.
[00:04:39] I know when I fall asleep in a freaking movie.
[00:04:46] Hashtag wienergate.
[00:04:47] Civil War.
[00:04:49] Civil War?
[00:04:50] Tell us about Civil War, Bryce.
[00:04:53] Huh?
[00:04:54] The movie, Civil War.
[00:04:56] Which one was that?
[00:04:58] It's the one by Alex.
[00:05:00] Alex?
[00:05:01] Oh that's the dystopian future thing.
[00:05:04] It wasn't a north versus a south, I know that.
[00:05:06] No, no it was the, what was it, the something forces against the something.
[00:05:12] Western forces.
[00:05:13] Western forces against the.
[00:05:15] With the Florida Alliance.
[00:05:16] The eastern forces.
[00:05:17] With the Florida Alliance.
[00:05:18] And nobody in the middle apparently.
[00:05:20] Right, wow this movie.
[00:05:22] It wasn't the worst.
[00:05:24] There was a lot that I didn't mind in it.
[00:05:27] I liked.
[00:05:29] The Plyminator.
[00:05:30] The Plyminator, yeah Jesse Plymins was very good in it.
[00:05:33] You know what, the amount that he was in it was probably perfect too.
[00:05:38] Nah, you know what I didn't need more of him.
[00:05:42] I just needed him to come in, blow me away.
[00:05:45] Kind of, he almost did like a mic drop.
[00:05:48] He's like, this is why I'm awesome.
[00:05:51] You've been Plymined.
[00:05:53] What kind of American are you?
[00:05:56] Yeah, I don't know.
[00:05:58] So Plymins was good, what else was good?
[00:06:01] Kirsten Dunst is actually as good as she's been in forever.
[00:06:06] How about ever, she is as ever.
[00:06:08] Lee, my dog's eating a box.
[00:06:11] Nice.
[00:06:12] I wish I was eating a box.
[00:06:14] Steven Henderson is Sammy, he was awesome too actually now that I think about it.
[00:06:19] There are a lot of good actors in this doing some good acting.
[00:06:23] Movie rolled along, I enjoyed much of it.
[00:06:27] And you didn't sleep in it?
[00:06:29] Did fall asleep?
[00:06:30] So this is not the sleeping movie?
[00:06:32] No, this one I did not fall asleep in.
[00:06:34] Now I wasn't there to witness it.
[00:06:36] Nick Offerman as the president, I just like Nick Offerman in anything.
[00:06:40] Whether he's being super funny or super serious.
[00:06:44] Or super dead.
[00:06:46] He's actually just showing that he can pretty much do anything.
[00:06:50] I actually really enjoy Nick Offerman in most things that I see him.
[00:06:54] I've kind of seen him, but I haven't enjoyed him.
[00:06:57] Alex Garland, it's hard to believe that the same dude that did Men recently,
[00:07:03] then he comes around and does this.
[00:07:05] But I guess he's done some action before.
[00:07:09] I don't know, this is kind of a weird one.
[00:07:11] I don't understand how this guy has only got four movies directed.
[00:07:15] He should be on his way to being undoubted to be honest.
[00:07:18] Even this would still have him undoubted with his four movies he's had.
[00:07:23] I've got like three Mondos and a man.
[00:07:25] Three Mondos and whatever you're giving?
[00:07:27] Oh yeah, I'm giving this a man.
[00:07:29] I don't know, I saw this so long ago.
[00:07:32] I'm tired.
[00:07:34] It was like another lifetime ago.
[00:07:38] We have Calgary Underground Film Festival coming up this week.
[00:07:43] And if you're tired off of last week, you're going to be dead.
[00:07:47] I'm not tired because of the movies.
[00:07:49] I'm tired because I went and emptied out a freaking house and went to Edmonton.
[00:07:54] That could suck the life out of you any day.
[00:07:57] Filled up two giant bins with just crap.
[00:08:01] Moving a freaking pool table, taking apart a pool table,
[00:08:05] and then the giant pieces of slate?
[00:08:08] That is not fun man.
[00:08:10] Moving those out of a basement where the stairs are straight up.
[00:08:14] Nah, it was someone else with me.
[00:08:16] But still, it sucked.
[00:08:18] You're old.
[00:08:20] I'm not young.
[00:08:22] I'm going to come up on a half century later this year.
[00:08:25] Yeah, well, so we're already there.
[00:08:27] Hey Baxter, stop eating the box!
[00:08:30] Yeah, he's going to listen to you.
[00:08:32] Nice.
[00:08:33] Alright.
[00:08:35] Civil War.
[00:08:41] By Alex.
[00:08:43] The Alex.
[00:08:46] The film about a pod of journalists making their way to interview the current president of the US
[00:08:53] before he is killed.
[00:08:55] All the while, the entire country is torn into a civil war.
[00:08:59] That's the title of the film.
[00:09:01] Well, except by the sounds of things for Missouri and Colorado because they are farmers.
[00:09:08] And all those farm countries.
[00:09:10] Nebraska, Kansas, Indiana.
[00:09:13] And they apparently pretend nothing is happening.
[00:09:15] The middle of the country doesn't care apparently.
[00:09:17] Middle America is too busy making vegetables.
[00:09:21] This slowly pulls you in to the reality of what it will or would be like if the US was in a civil war.
[00:09:30] At no point do we get a political story about the Republicans or the Democrats.
[00:09:35] Neither do we know who is right and who is wrong.
[00:09:38] We just know it's a shit storm.
[00:09:41] In all the hot spots of the US.
[00:09:43] Like Texas and Florida and Cali and by Jeebus, of course, New York and DC.
[00:09:50] New York City!
[00:09:52] That's pace.
[00:09:53] They didn't mention Massachusetts in there and they're like in the middle so I don't know how that happened.
[00:09:58] Well, they talked about North Carolina, South Carolina so they would have had to get to Boston.
[00:10:04] What I don't get is it took them what?
[00:10:07] Four or five days to make this journey?
[00:10:09] And it was like New York to DC?
[00:10:11] I thought they were like a couple hours away.
[00:10:13] No, they were somewhere else.
[00:10:15] I thought they were in New York.
[00:10:17] No, because it's not that far to get to.
[00:10:19] Yeah, that's what I thought.
[00:10:21] They were somewhere else.
[00:10:23] No, they were in Chicago I think actually.
[00:10:25] In this you really get the feels of the entire war through the lens that we would normally get to see.
[00:10:33] Or should I guess maybe we wouldn't get to see.
[00:10:35] But in this case, it's unfiltered view of what the war photographer that would normally be filtered by the networks.
[00:10:43] And we see our pod through every step of their journey.
[00:10:47] This film builds a story surrounding our four journalists which are made up of the granddaddy of the community played by Stephen McKinley Henderson who plays Sammy,
[00:10:57] our grizzled photojournalist played by Kirsten Dunst who plays Lee,
[00:11:02] Wagner Mora who plays Joel and finally the mentee of the group, Kaylee Spaney who plays Jesse.
[00:11:10] As the film progresses we get a slow descent into the grimness not seen in many Hollywood films especially about the state of war that we get.
[00:11:20] And especially how ugly it may even get in the US and maybe we may even get there sooner than we maybe want to hope.
[00:11:30] There is plenty of gore and horror and quiet moments to reflect but it builds to a sadness that carries a cloud of bleakness that I feel may be a little too bleak for most people to see.
[00:11:41] Of course, there is no amount of bleakness.
[00:11:44] That is too much for moi.
[00:11:46] Just bring on the bleak.
[00:11:49] That's my new motto.
[00:11:51] Bring on the bleak.
[00:11:52] Sure.
[00:11:53] Or grim.
[00:11:54] Grimness.
[00:11:55] Sorrow.
[00:11:56] What else?
[00:11:58] Depression.
[00:11:59] Depression?
[00:12:00] Yeah, I like all those things.
[00:12:02] I'm tired.
[00:12:03] The scene where we meet Jesse Plemons is the peak of this.
[00:12:07] Yep.
[00:12:08] We see that the two sides of whatever this war is has no hope in this new America which is what kind of feels like in reality right now.
[00:12:19] Outside of this movie.
[00:12:21] Yeah, it's a little difficult for reality.
[00:12:23] It feels very divisive in the US right now and I feel sad for a lot of my friends that live there.
[00:12:28] I feel sad for the whole country.
[00:12:30] Yep.
[00:12:31] By the way, the ending of this was pretty obvious pretty soon into the film and when it comes I also got to say I didn't find it all that satisfying.
[00:12:39] I did find the journey extremely satisfying and as much as I was not super happy with how it ended.
[00:12:46] I still love this journey of dread and depression and anxiety ridden people.
[00:12:53] It was mondo.
[00:12:54] I love this film.
[00:12:55] Wow.
[00:12:56] Yep.
[00:12:57] Wait, you didn't even do a good enough.
[00:12:59] Come on, do it like the Wilson brother.
[00:13:02] Like the Wilson.
[00:13:03] Wow.
[00:13:04] Wow.
[00:13:05] Wow.
[00:13:06] There you go.
[00:13:07] Wow.
[00:13:08] Yeah, well I could not disagree with you more.
[00:13:14] What?
[00:13:15] I did not like this movie at all.
[00:13:17] What?
[00:13:18] It was not the movie I thought judging by the trailer I thought it would be a little more action.
[00:13:21] Was there just not enough Plemons in it for you?
[00:13:23] There wasn't enough war.
[00:13:24] It's called Civil War.
[00:13:25] I didn't see anybody fighting.
[00:13:26] Yeah, but that's what real wars are like.
[00:13:27] That's why it's good.
[00:13:28] No, it's not why it's good.
[00:13:29] I have several problems with this.
[00:13:30] What?
[00:13:31] I had few but I wanted to say several.
[00:13:32] Yeah, well not as many as me.
[00:13:33] No.
[00:13:34] The first one is yeah, this Garland guy.
[00:13:35] I mean, yeah, he's a good actor or a good director and everything, but he didn't
[00:13:36] explain anything.
[00:13:37] That's good.
[00:13:38] He didn't explain a damn thing about why the war started, what the sides were, what
[00:13:39] they were fighting over, where at what point they were at in the war.
[00:13:40] Did he really digress?
[00:13:41] I don't know.
[00:13:42] I don't know.
[00:13:43] I don't know.
[00:13:44] I don't know.
[00:13:45] I don't know.
[00:13:46] I don't know.
[00:13:47] I don't know.
[00:13:48] I don't know.
[00:13:49] I don't know.
[00:13:50] I don't know.
[00:13:51] Yeah, I don't know.
[00:13:52] It's a long story, and I'd never understand that
[00:13:54] at what point they were at in the war.
[00:13:57] They didn't really have to.
[00:13:59] They didn't say how long the war have been going on because obviously it was at
[00:14:02] the end.
[00:14:03] Doesn't matter.
[00:14:04] Yeah, he didn't explain anything and I hate that.
[00:14:05] I hate the cloudy shit that I don't understand.
[00:14:11] No.
[00:14:12] Yeah.
[00:14:13] The second problem I had was Texas and California.
[00:14:18] Yeah.
[00:14:19] As allies.
[00:14:20] could not be further apart politically. Wow, right now, but in this dystopian future, I
[00:14:26] can't see the one of those states switching the beliefs of the business, the entire state
[00:14:33] enemy of my enemy is my friend. We don't know. Yeah, it didn't didn't make sense. And
[00:14:38] even my my American friend that I talked to about this who is down there and actually
[00:14:42] was in politics said, yeah, that would never happen. Those two states would never accept
[00:14:47] Florida. I don't know about but yeah, Florida. Yeah, this wasn't really about one political
[00:14:53] party or another. I just need to know why that what they were fighting over because
[00:14:56] it never explained it. Yeah. And the president basically bull faced lied, which isn't a
[00:15:02] new thing. But that's pretty much what they always all they do. Yeah. He's speech to
[00:15:07] the beginning of the movie was, yeah, we have a we have a major victory over the
[00:15:12] Western forces. And they're about to surrender. Yeah, it was a complete opposite of that.
[00:15:17] Yes. And the third problem I have is he had no help. He had no army, no military,
[00:15:23] no nothing. The president of the United States, they walked out on him, a handful
[00:15:27] of Secret Service people protecting him at the end. And basically, they walked up
[00:15:31] into the White House. They had no resistance. I'm like, really? Well, they talked about
[00:15:35] that. They talked about it in the movie. They said that they they walked off their
[00:15:40] whole journalist press thing. It's like I don't watch a lot of war movies. I don't
[00:15:45] watch a lot of news. No, I find it really hard to believe that the press has
[00:15:49] complete immunity and invincibility from getting shot at. So they can just
[00:15:54] wander around behind soldiers. That was obviously the agreement. But it wasn't
[00:15:59] because it was because they almost got killed. It is one of those things in
[00:16:04] war in general. Like they don't try and shoot. They don't shoot the press.
[00:16:08] Journalists get captured all the time.
[00:16:11] They do, but not when there's an actual war on. That's why you have war
[00:16:15] journalists. They go over there. Yeah, but they're not exempt from getting
[00:16:19] shot at. They just are smart enough not to get right behind the soldiers.
[00:16:22] Yeah. These guys were falling right behind the soldiers and they
[00:16:26] were crossing in front of gunfire. That's a war journalist.
[00:16:30] I didn't buy it. OK, well. And then the last issue I had was the
[00:16:37] young girl who just hitched a ride. Yeah, like her first assignment ever.
[00:16:42] And she had a camera older than me. Like it was a camera that I
[00:16:46] literally used when I was in junior high 40 years ago. Yep.
[00:16:50] Developed her own film. It was all black and white.
[00:16:52] Everybody else has got digital stuff they're uploading. That's right.
[00:16:55] She's using an old school like film camera. Wasn't she resourceful
[00:16:59] because she had her older material? Well, she didn't have a choice,
[00:17:01] I guess. And her parents just let her go off. They were at a
[00:17:05] farm in. Well, she's like in her 20s. She wasn't.
[00:17:07] They just let her go off and cover the war.
[00:17:10] She's like 25 years old.
[00:17:11] Yeah. But if I was her parents, I'd be scared to death that she could get killed.
[00:17:15] I don't know. War is hell.
[00:17:17] Were you telling your mom what you were doing at 25?
[00:17:19] No, I didn't have to because I didn't go into war zones.
[00:17:22] She probably thought the city of Calgary was a war zone for humor.
[00:17:25] I was 25. I was living with her.
[00:17:27] Put it that way. Yeah, no, I didn't really enjoy this movie.
[00:17:31] It didn't have enough action, not enough war.
[00:17:35] It was just a lot of people driving around in a suburban.
[00:17:40] And I'll say one more thing about this, which you guys are not going to agree with,
[00:17:42] but Olympus Has Fallen was a much better movie.
[00:17:46] Oh, my God.
[00:17:48] That's got to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
[00:17:50] I enjoyed that a lot more than I enjoyed this piece.
[00:17:51] You could not have been further from the truth.
[00:17:55] Yeah, this was a rage.
[00:17:57] Olympus Has Fallen is probably one of the worst movies I've ever made.
[00:18:00] That might end up in the real rage bed.
[00:18:03] Not by me, I won't.
[00:18:05] Because I know better than to give you guys a Gerard Butler movie.
[00:18:08] You know what? Because I like Gerard Butler.
[00:18:09] Remember, Gerard Butler has a scale now.
[00:18:11] Yeah, now I rate things on the Gerard Butler scale.
[00:18:15] Obviously that's not.
[00:18:15] It's the Gerard Butler curve, actually.
[00:18:17] Yeah, anyway.
[00:18:19] Need to get it right.
[00:18:19] But if you're going to storm the White House, that's the way you do it.
[00:18:22] Not the way this was done.
[00:18:23] Anyway, yeah, I hated it.
[00:18:24] Yeah. Well, you're not a photojournalist.
[00:18:27] It was OK. Yeah, it was at one point.
[00:18:29] I loved it.
[00:18:30] There you go.
[00:18:31] All right. Well, apparently we're all in disagreement about it.
[00:18:36] But you know what?
[00:18:37] What that means is Alex Garland.
[00:18:40] Garfield Garland Garland has to now make eight more movies.
[00:18:46] Yeah. Oh, Christ.
[00:18:48] Yeah. So Murray just kiboshed his chances of being undoubted.
[00:18:53] Thanks, Murray. Yeah, thanks a lot.
[00:18:55] All right. Well, let's talk about Arcadian,
[00:18:58] which I thought was going to be a movie about
[00:19:01] Nicholas Cage.
[00:19:02] No, it was about somewhere on the east coast of Canada.
[00:19:04] Aren't they Arcadians?
[00:19:06] They are.
[00:19:07] Acadians. That's a key.
[00:19:08] Oh, so what's an Arcadian?
[00:19:11] I don't know. Are you playing video games?
[00:19:13] I don't maybe.
[00:19:15] Bryce is going to look that up.
[00:19:16] So if you're going to have an apocalyptic
[00:19:21] end of the world where monsters that come at night.
[00:19:25] Well, they mostly come at night.
[00:19:26] Mostly that no better man for the job.
[00:19:30] But Nick Cage and his two baby boys bouncing baby boys.
[00:19:35] What I liked about this movie is that you really don't get to see the monsters
[00:19:40] for the most part of the film.
[00:19:41] So it builds a very effective suspense with some great jump scares,
[00:19:46] some scary suspense scenes and a great cast, especially the one boy,
[00:19:51] Jaden Martel, who also happens to be
[00:19:54] one of my favorite little actors on the planet.
[00:19:57] In fact, there's nothing he's been in that I have not loved.
[00:20:00] In fact, we may have to put well, we can't because he did it one and two.
[00:20:04] So they both they were both men.
[00:20:06] So I guess he's never going to be undoubted, but he is going to be
[00:20:09] pretty mesmerizing in a few years.
[00:20:11] I'm going to say that.
[00:20:12] Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
[00:20:15] So he plays Joseph, the brilliant younger brother of the two brothers.
[00:20:18] And the other might be smart, but he's too preoccupied
[00:20:22] with what I like to call end of the world pussy from the neighbor girl
[00:20:27] down the street who happens to live on the adjacent farm.
[00:20:31] Ultimately, this comes with the same tropes of Apocalypse
[00:20:35] Monster movies where we build the story to a crescendo of confrontation.
[00:20:40] And as our daddy hero or dad, it's me.
[00:20:45] It's dad.
[00:20:48] It's that dad.
[00:20:49] And Nick Cage does so well.
[00:20:53] He has to sacrifice himself a few times for his boys to survive.
[00:20:57] He does. It was an effective story.
[00:21:00] The monsters were fun and the ET like long stretchy fingers
[00:21:04] and the chomp, chomp, chompety huge mouth monsters.
[00:21:07] But nothing too original here.
[00:21:09] I liked it.
[00:21:10] I had a few questions about it
[00:21:13] how they were living maybe for 15 years with monsters.
[00:21:16] So I liked it a lot.
[00:21:17] It was me. I got some unpacking.
[00:21:19] But what do you guys think?
[00:21:22] Well, I did see this with you.
[00:21:24] You did.
[00:21:25] Unfortunately, it was on a Saturday night in a packed theater.
[00:21:30] So, of course, well, our theater wasn't but the building in general was.
[00:21:36] It was because it was Saturday night.
[00:21:38] We had to line up for 20 minutes for popcorn and Murray was very upset.
[00:21:41] And there are lots of teenagers and I don't like teenagers,
[00:21:44] especially in horror movies, because they can't shut their damn mouths.
[00:21:47] They got to make fun of everything,
[00:21:48] which is what happened with this one.
[00:21:50] And as you mentioned, the not seeing the monsters and then seeing the monsters.
[00:21:55] That's usually where the problem lies.
[00:21:57] Well, when they start showing the monsters is where the problem is.
[00:22:00] That is when you don't see them.
[00:22:01] It's scary as hell. Yes.
[00:22:03] There were a few jump scares there when I didn't know what was happening.
[00:22:06] But when they started showing the I was like a half werewolf, half,
[00:22:10] I don't know, spider, some werewolf with like a long arm.
[00:22:14] I don't know. But yeah, I was mostly a wolf type creature with a chompy,
[00:22:18] chompy mouth, chompy, chompy big, you know, like from the yellow submarine.
[00:22:24] They kind of look like those things from the yellow submarine, but more wolfy.
[00:22:28] The Beatles?
[00:22:29] No, there was the the monsters from the yellow submarine.
[00:22:32] I don't know what that is.
[00:22:33] Anyway, yeah, I mean, it was OK.
[00:22:35] I had some problems.
[00:22:37] I mean, again, they didn't really explain a whole lot.
[00:22:39] Yes. And the kids go for awesome zero to 15.
[00:22:43] Yes. Ten minutes doesn't say what they were doing for like two seconds
[00:22:46] because it just went.
[00:22:47] Yeah. The one kid was totally awesome.
[00:22:49] I loved him since like, say, Vincent.
[00:22:51] He's a really talented young actor. He's super talented.
[00:22:53] The other guy was a dumbass and yeah, controlled by his hormones.
[00:22:56] And he did stupid things.
[00:22:57] Pussy glower.
[00:22:58] He should have died in the first ten minutes
[00:23:00] because he did some of these stupid things that something
[00:23:03] should have got him killed.
[00:23:04] But again, Nicholas Cage had to save his ass like that's right.
[00:23:08] At you know, at risk to his own body.
[00:23:10] And I don't know how he survived because, yeah, I thought he.
[00:23:12] But did he survive? That's the question.
[00:23:14] Anyway, you're all going to have to see this movie to find out.
[00:23:16] Apparently. But yeah, no, I mean, and now set a problem with
[00:23:20] where the farm the girl was living at.
[00:23:22] I mean, it was just a creepy place in general, like full of farm hands.
[00:23:26] Shiftless farm hands.
[00:23:27] Apparently they had a whole field full of sheep
[00:23:31] that apparently were untouched by these creatures.
[00:23:34] Apparently they don't like the taste of sheep.
[00:23:35] I don't know what the deal is.
[00:23:37] Maybe they're vegan.
[00:23:38] And up until, you know, towards the end,
[00:23:42] the monsters didn't go near this farm.
[00:23:44] I'm like, OK, how's that possible?
[00:23:45] Everybody else is getting terrorized. These guys aren't.
[00:23:47] Maybe they're afraid of sheep.
[00:23:49] They didn't explain that either.
[00:23:50] I don't know that we they weren't because they were still
[00:23:53] locking up at night and everything.
[00:23:55] I didn't have the same bars on the windows.
[00:23:57] They didn't have the same level of effort.
[00:23:59] The bars, the windows, they're open.
[00:24:01] There were no boards. There was no bars.
[00:24:03] But they did talk about that in the movie
[00:24:04] because they had said that their farm really wasn't effective.
[00:24:07] They just said it wasn't affected.
[00:24:08] It's because of the sheep. It's obvious.
[00:24:10] Yeah, sure. Space monsters and sheep.
[00:24:12] Space monsters hate sheep.
[00:24:13] They're afraid of sheep.
[00:24:14] It's like that other movie where they're afraid of water.
[00:24:17] Yeah.
[00:24:17] Not going to give away which one,
[00:24:18] because in case you haven't seen it, that was 30 years ago.
[00:24:21] I'm not going to give those away.
[00:24:21] Well, you can give us spoilers.
[00:24:23] We're giving spoilers right now in this movie.
[00:24:25] Yeah, I had some decent action, but yeah.
[00:24:28] And when the when the the monster thing,
[00:24:31] when the smart kid, he thought I was about to get eaten
[00:24:34] because he's sitting there in the chair sleeping.
[00:24:37] Yes. And he left the door open.
[00:24:39] It was a great scene.
[00:24:40] And then the monster figures a way to open the lock.
[00:24:43] Yes. Then stretches finger out.
[00:24:45] Yes. People behind it started laughing their asses off.
[00:24:48] And it was awesome. It was awesome.
[00:24:49] And other people just left like 10 minutes after that.
[00:24:52] So they obviously couldn't handle the rest of the movie.
[00:24:53] They're dumb.
[00:24:54] Yeah, those people are they're known as dumb.
[00:24:57] But yeah, I enjoyed it.
[00:24:58] Before they started showing the monster, I enjoyed it.
[00:25:01] OK, so what does that make it?
[00:25:03] It was a man. All right. All right.
[00:25:06] It's funny how man is such a broad.
[00:25:07] Is my opinion.
[00:25:09] It's funny how man is such a broad topic for us.
[00:25:13] It can go to be like, you know, I almost hated it too.
[00:25:16] I almost loved it, which is a big, big band.
[00:25:20] There's there's different levels of man
[00:25:23] other than just low man man and high man.
[00:25:29] What do you think of Arcadian?
[00:25:31] Yes. Yes.
[00:25:32] It was it was man.
[00:25:36] First of all, Arcadian is relating to or constituent
[00:25:41] constituting constituents to get your book words here.
[00:25:46] You're a book boy.
[00:25:49] Constituent.
[00:25:51] I can't talk to you.
[00:25:52] You can do it. What is it?
[00:25:53] Sound it out.
[00:25:54] It's basically an ideal rural paradise.
[00:25:57] It's like it's it's ideal. It's perfect.
[00:26:00] That's what Arcadian is.
[00:26:01] And that wasn't this.
[00:26:02] It's not constituency.
[00:26:04] It's conscription.
[00:26:05] I don't know. It's constipation.
[00:26:08] It's constipation.
[00:26:10] At any rate, I don't understand why the creatures took so long
[00:26:16] to figure out they could just burrow from underneath.
[00:26:18] Because it opened doors.
[00:26:19] I didn't understand why Nick Cage was coloring his hair in this situation.
[00:26:23] There's no need for him to because he's obviously got
[00:26:26] it's not his natural hair color.
[00:26:28] He was wearing a wig.
[00:26:29] I don't think he wasn't wearing a wig.
[00:26:31] Why is he wearing a wig then?
[00:26:33] Because he's like 80 years old.
[00:26:35] He probably has gray hair by now.
[00:26:37] He went he had cancer treatments on his head.
[00:26:40] No, he had cancer treatments and then he lost his hair.
[00:26:44] And that's why he's wearing a wig.
[00:26:46] Like what is wrong with you? Who cares?
[00:26:48] It's like it's like Marie having being confused about our guile
[00:26:52] because she was too heavy for it to be super here.
[00:26:55] Yeah, that's probably the problem.
[00:26:58] My hands are being skinny two weeks later.
[00:27:00] Well, because the movie in the release is different things.
[00:27:04] He had who cares?
[00:27:05] His hair was was different.
[00:27:08] I didn't like that.
[00:27:09] Well, I'm wearing a hat most of them anyway.
[00:27:11] I was you know what? I fell asleep.
[00:27:13] I of course you did, but I didn't sleep for long movies.
[00:27:16] A 10 o'clock.
[00:27:17] What part do you remember to and then what part do you remember waking up to?
[00:27:21] I think I do remember them falling into the crevice.
[00:27:25] Yeah. OK.
[00:27:27] So was that before or after he slept?
[00:27:29] I think I slept a little after that.
[00:27:30] OK, because it was all dark.
[00:27:32] And then did you see did you see him go?
[00:27:35] He left his brother and went to be with the family with sheep.
[00:27:39] Oh, yeah, I remember that.
[00:27:40] Was it sleep after that or before that?
[00:27:42] I slept after that.
[00:27:44] So I made I made it through most of the movie.
[00:27:47] So there was it was like right near the end.
[00:27:49] Yeah, I was right near the end.
[00:27:50] OK, so I like Jayden Martell and this is Thomas.
[00:27:53] He was really good.
[00:27:54] He's he's brilliant.
[00:27:55] Uh, he's the best little actor going right now.
[00:27:59] I like there were a couple of scenes
[00:28:01] is actually the scene that Murray described with the finger in the whole deal.
[00:28:04] I thought that was actually one of the better.
[00:28:06] Nothing better than finger monsters when he when he catches
[00:28:09] when he catches the monster, I thought that was actually really well done.
[00:28:12] Yes, the monster when the monster attacked was fine.
[00:28:14] It's just that the slow moving creepy finger creepy finger coming.
[00:28:19] It was so cool.
[00:28:20] That was it was Bill.
[00:28:21] I'm saying his bed started laughing.
[00:28:23] So obviously they thought it was funny.
[00:28:25] I was in the theater and nobody laughed.
[00:28:27] So I didn't laugh.
[00:28:29] You didn't laugh.
[00:28:30] So I thought it was ridiculous.
[00:28:31] I didn't laugh. I was loud, but I thought it was kind of stupid.
[00:28:34] It was awesome.
[00:28:34] Anyway, it was like E.T.
[00:28:36] You're making me want to mondo this.
[00:28:38] But it was it was it was mad.
[00:28:41] OK, well, you know what that means?
[00:28:42] We don't get this very often.
[00:28:44] What's that?
[00:28:45] We got three minutes.
[00:28:47] Yeah, we do.
[00:28:47] I thought you mondoed it.
[00:28:48] No, I gave it a minute.
[00:28:49] Oh, yeah.
[00:28:55] Yeah.
[00:28:56] Well, doesn't happen.
[00:28:57] Well, we all agreed.
[00:28:58] But well, for different reasons, but all but for all different reasons.
[00:29:02] Yeah. All right.
[00:29:03] So we also saw wicked little letters.
[00:29:09] Oh, yeah.
[00:29:10] I kind of remember.
[00:29:14] Which we should.
[00:29:15] I took my mom to this one.
[00:29:16] That's right.
[00:29:17] Oh, yeah.
[00:29:18] Yeah, it was a lady swearing.
[00:29:19] Who would mom wouldn't like that?
[00:29:20] That's right. Well, one old lady swearing.
[00:29:22] No, they're both.
[00:29:23] Well, the other one's not an old lady.
[00:29:25] She's like in her 30s.
[00:29:26] OK, well, the old some of the old men were swearing to put it that way.
[00:29:30] There's a lot of old and there's a lot of not a lot of swearing.
[00:29:32] So, Murray, what did you think of Wicked Little Letters?
[00:29:35] Well, oh, I've got to do it.
[00:29:38] You've got a lot to think about it.
[00:29:40] OK, well, I have to go back.
[00:29:43] You have to describe it to.
[00:29:45] Oh, your name is on the list for description.
[00:29:47] I never have the interest of.
[00:29:50] Yeah, so Wicked Little Letters,
[00:29:52] which stars Olivia Colman and Jesse Buckley.
[00:29:55] Jesse Buckley takes place in England, 1920s,
[00:29:59] where, you know, women basically had no rights.
[00:30:00] They couldn't do anything.
[00:30:01] They couldn't vote.
[00:30:03] Her kid couldn't even play the guitar.
[00:30:04] But that wasn't allowed either.
[00:30:05] I never got that.
[00:30:06] Well, no, she could.
[00:30:08] It's just it wasn't allowed.
[00:30:09] No, no, it was allowed.
[00:30:10] It was just, you know, frowned upon.
[00:30:13] No, it wasn't even frowned upon.
[00:30:14] It's just it wasn't ladylike.
[00:30:15] Anyway, Jesse Buckley, of course, comes from Ireland.
[00:30:18] So she's full of piss and vinegar.
[00:30:21] I was going to say, yeah, bigger.
[00:30:23] But yeah, full of that.
[00:30:25] Potty mouth.
[00:30:25] She doesn't really care if she offends and likes to drink and swear.
[00:30:28] Just like the Irish.
[00:30:29] Got to love him.
[00:30:29] And she has a daughter.
[00:30:31] And she lives next door to Olivia Colman, who is this
[00:30:34] lady with a bug up her ass, who basically lives at home in her 40s.
[00:30:37] She's got dad issues.
[00:30:39] She has major issues.
[00:30:41] So she's living at it.
[00:30:42] She's an old spinch.
[00:30:43] She's living at home and she's 50 years old.
[00:30:45] So she doesn't like this.
[00:30:46] It's carrying on.
[00:30:47] And of course, you know,
[00:30:50] she starts getting these letters with obscene words in them,
[00:30:53] which in the 20s you don't really hear.
[00:30:55] No. And her neighbor gets blamed for it and put on trial for it.
[00:30:59] And yeah, there's a lot of swearing in this movie.
[00:31:03] But it's funny because
[00:31:06] the old lady.
[00:31:07] You mean Olivia Colman, who's middle aged, middle aged,
[00:31:09] the middle aged woman, the spinster.
[00:31:14] Well, even the letters, it's like it's like somebody who knows
[00:31:17] the swear words but doesn't know how to use them properly.
[00:31:20] Yes.
[00:31:21] It's like a kid who first discovers bad words and just throws them out.
[00:31:24] That's right.
[00:31:25] In random order.
[00:31:25] Yep. So that's the funny part in it.
[00:31:27] But yeah, what did I think?
[00:31:30] I didn't know I was going to like this because I wasn't really going to go to it.
[00:31:33] You weren't.
[00:31:34] We were supposed to have a screening of it a few weeks ago.
[00:31:36] We didn't go to that.
[00:31:37] No, we did not.
[00:31:38] And yeah, I had some.
[00:31:42] There was some mediocre reviews of it.
[00:31:44] I thought maybe it wasn't that funny.
[00:31:47] I was wrong.
[00:31:48] We could look at the letters.
[00:31:49] Incredibly funny, cheeky.
[00:31:52] It definitely put a smile on my face.
[00:31:54] It was funny as hell.
[00:31:56] Both lead actresses were amazing in it.
[00:31:59] Some of the other were they were OK.
[00:32:01] I mean, it was a nice little story and I love my British comedies.
[00:32:05] That's how I almost convinced you to go originally.
[00:32:07] Yeah. Well, the main reason I went is because you were going to go by yourself.
[00:32:12] Friends don't let friends go to movies by themselves.
[00:32:14] That's right.
[00:32:15] So please let me go to a movie by myself because I didn't want to see the other
[00:32:19] movie because you went to Civil War without me.
[00:32:22] I had to see Civil War after this one.
[00:32:24] That's why I went to that by myself.
[00:32:25] But whatever.
[00:32:27] Yeah, no, Wicked Little Letters was awesome.
[00:32:28] Olivia Colman's never been better and it was a Mondo.
[00:32:32] All right.
[00:32:33] Mondo.
[00:32:34] Mondo baby.
[00:32:39] Bracey, what do you think of Wicked Little Letters?
[00:32:41] What you got to see with your mummy?
[00:32:43] Yeah, I don't I don't go second.
[00:32:45] That's not something it is.
[00:32:47] Absolutely. Yeah, we got too many movies.
[00:32:49] You go second. I don't go second.
[00:32:51] You do you do today.
[00:32:52] And that's what the rule is.
[00:32:54] Get going. But I don't go second.
[00:32:55] Doesn't matter now. You do today.
[00:32:57] Let's have it. I don't like going second.
[00:32:59] Well, too bad.
[00:32:59] Too bad. You didn't like going first either.
[00:33:02] It's your turn. No, I do like going first.
[00:33:04] Yeah. Well, now you should.
[00:33:06] But this is well, I don't really remember this movie.
[00:33:09] OK, well, that's OK.
[00:33:11] I remember Olivia Coleman and Jesse Buckley were pretty good in it.
[00:33:14] You remember your mom was there?
[00:33:16] I took I took my mom.
[00:33:18] Did you and your mom hold hands through the movie?
[00:33:20] Why would we hold hands during the movie?
[00:33:22] Have you ever sat?
[00:33:23] Have you ever gone to a movie with your mom and held her hand?
[00:33:25] Yeah, she explained to you what the most.
[00:33:26] Oh, you have not.
[00:33:27] She explained to you what some of the bad words meant.
[00:33:29] No, you're so clean cut.
[00:33:32] You don't you don't swear.
[00:33:32] Does your mom swear more than you do?
[00:33:35] Probably.
[00:33:37] But she but she doesn't swear barely at all.
[00:33:39] But yeah, I would say that swears come out of her mouth more than me.
[00:33:43] That's just another reason why I love your mom so much.
[00:33:47] Filthy, filthy mouth.
[00:33:50] Yes.
[00:33:52] Yeah, story of
[00:33:55] Edith and
[00:33:57] was it Rose?
[00:33:58] Sounds right.
[00:34:00] Sure.
[00:34:03] They start as friends.
[00:34:04] Well, they start as acquaintances.
[00:34:06] I'd say they actually become friends.
[00:34:08] I would say that Edith definitely looks up to Rose in a strange way.
[00:34:13] And it and Rose brings some stuff out of her that she was always there.
[00:34:19] But she had pent up.
[00:34:21] She had pent up.
[00:34:22] So she was able to express herself a little more.
[00:34:25] But then once and that's what that's what I think the genesis of this was,
[00:34:30] was the fact that she she met this person that while she always kept all
[00:34:35] this stuff private and she you know, she had her little scrapbooks and everything
[00:34:39] where she wrote all her naughty words and everything.
[00:34:42] The fact that she encountered this this free spirit and Rose
[00:34:48] brought her to the point where she could actually get that stuff out there.
[00:34:52] And actually, that's why these letters started, I believe, is because,
[00:34:56] you know, finally that was unleashed and she's like, OK, I'm unleashing this
[00:35:00] on the world.
[00:35:01] That's right.
[00:35:02] That's right.
[00:35:02] Can suck my dick.
[00:35:04] But yeah, I mean, really, really well acted.
[00:35:07] Lots of lots of like literally laugh out loud moments in this
[00:35:12] really quite enjoyable at the end of the day.
[00:35:15] It was math. All right.
[00:35:17] You know, by the way, it makes me want to watch via Sherrick's other movie,
[00:35:21] which I had no intention of like going to or watching
[00:35:26] because she she released like two movies this year.
[00:35:29] What was the other one?
[00:35:29] The other one is called The Beautiful Game.
[00:35:31] And it has been released elsewhere.
[00:35:35] Actually, maybe it hasn't.
[00:35:36] Maybe it's only had festival releases.
[00:35:38] Yeah, I don't.
[00:35:39] I know. I know it's been shown, but not our city.
[00:35:43] Not our city.
[00:35:45] We would have sought.
[00:35:46] It's got Bill Nye in it.
[00:35:49] Oh, so she knows how to.
[00:35:51] She knows how to build a cast is what I'm hearing.
[00:35:54] Yeah. But it looks.
[00:35:57] I mean, just based on this movie now, I kind of want to watch that.
[00:36:01] Me too. I kind of went off on a tangent.
[00:36:04] You know, you're doing your circle now.
[00:36:06] The Bryce Circle.
[00:36:07] Yeah. Maybe I should watch her other movies, too.
[00:36:09] She's only got four of them.
[00:36:10] What's another way you could say that?
[00:36:14] OK, I don't even know what that means.
[00:36:17] Well, let me talk about Wicked Little Letters.
[00:36:22] OK, so the first and foremost most important thing to know here is,
[00:36:26] no, I did not fall asleep in this movie.
[00:36:28] Neither did I.
[00:36:29] But I did not get to see all of the movie
[00:36:32] because just as for we were about to go into the movie.
[00:36:35] Oh, yeah, right.
[00:36:36] So before we go into it, I get a panicked call from my wife
[00:36:41] who had a panicked emergency at home.
[00:36:43] So I had to get from one end of the city
[00:36:45] to the other end of the city.
[00:36:47] And we were about 15 minutes before our movie started.
[00:36:51] So needless to say,
[00:36:54] I did not get to see the very beginning, but that's OK,
[00:36:57] because your good friend Murray that was a note for you
[00:37:01] stayed in the theater and acted out every single role.
[00:37:04] It was fantastic.
[00:37:06] And he even did some pirouettes when he was doing his best.
[00:37:08] And I did accents and everything.
[00:37:10] He did his Irish accent.
[00:37:12] Irish was spot on. Spot on.
[00:37:15] It's like the Queen's English.
[00:37:16] Oh, wait, she's not the queen of Ireland.
[00:37:20] So we have two powerhouse women
[00:37:23] in a curse battle for the ages.
[00:37:26] Jessie Buckley through everything she had
[00:37:29] at the great and powerful Olivia Coleman in this very character
[00:37:33] driven period piece biopic like most British biopics
[00:37:39] that had its moments of humor.
[00:37:42] And it was well written.
[00:37:44] And the characters are deep and interesting.
[00:37:46] Coleman, who is an old marm who lives with her abusive dad
[00:37:51] dad and super Christiany,
[00:37:56] who diminishes her at every turn.
[00:37:59] And through his abuse, Coleman finds a release for her pent up rage,
[00:38:04] which I loved, by the way, by writing terribly crafted,
[00:38:08] but well written cusses to her neighbors
[00:38:11] and just happens to frame Buckley in the process.
[00:38:15] There is there isn't much of a surprise in this as to who is guilty.
[00:38:20] Yeah, no, I knew it.
[00:38:22] Yeah, right from the start, you kind of know it's it's Olivia Coleman.
[00:38:25] Although they try for a while to disguise who the poison pen is.
[00:38:29] I like the dialogue, which was quick and crafted.
[00:38:33] And these two powerhouse actors are joined by
[00:38:38] and Jana Vassan, who plays the third main lead actress
[00:38:43] female officer. Yep.
[00:38:45] For this film, who also does an amazing job.
[00:38:48] She was funny. I laughed a lot of this.
[00:38:50] I love the story, which so until I see the remaining
[00:38:54] one quarter of this film, which is the beginning of it.
[00:38:57] The three quarters of this movie that I saw was Mondo.
[00:39:00] So, yeah, I love this film.
[00:39:02] It was it was funny.
[00:39:04] I laughed all the way through it.
[00:39:05] Jesse Buckley was amazing.
[00:39:09] And Olivia Coleman, anything she's in.
[00:39:11] I like I don't think that she can pick a bad movie.
[00:39:13] I just I just was I sat there when when she turned
[00:39:17] flying loose with the swear words, I'm like,
[00:39:19] that's Olivia Coleman.
[00:39:21] Like, wow, that was some nasty language.
[00:39:24] Yeah, stuff that I didn't even know.
[00:39:28] Well, that's back in the 1920s, Murray.
[00:39:30] I apparently maybe there's words we don't use anymore.
[00:39:33] Maybe but no, I I know a few of them, but it's like
[00:39:36] I never heard that many used all at once.
[00:39:38] I mean, and I used to watch Eddie Murphy all the time.
[00:39:42] You know what I liked about Eddie Murphy is that you like to stick
[00:39:44] G.I. Joe's in his bum.
[00:39:46] Yeah, well, anyway, yeah, I know there was there was a lot of language
[00:39:50] in this one, but it was like it was funny.
[00:39:53] Eddie Murphy, J.J. Joe's in his bum.
[00:39:55] Oh, yeah.
[00:39:56] Brace is falling asleep again.
[00:39:58] Hush gag, weiner gate.
[00:39:59] Weiner gate.
[00:40:00] OK, the next movie we're going to talk about is Sting.
[00:40:05] Bryce, tell our listeners about
[00:40:08] Sting.
[00:40:11] Oh, that's a big brown shark.
[00:40:12] Was it was a documentary about Sting?
[00:40:14] And G.I. Joe got stuck and G.I.
[00:40:16] Go to stuck in the water.
[00:40:19] Hmm.
[00:40:22] Anyway, go. Sting.
[00:40:24] Sting is not a documentary about the singer who founded the police.
[00:40:30] No, it's about space spider.
[00:40:33] Space spider sounds like a David Bowie album.
[00:40:36] So young Charlotte, 12 year old Charlotte finds a space
[00:40:40] spider decides to make it her pet.
[00:40:42] And then, you know, as typically what happens when you try to make a space
[00:40:47] spider your pet, things tend to go wrong.
[00:40:51] Shit goes wrong.
[00:40:54] I was expecting I'll be honest, I was expecting to hate this movie.
[00:40:58] But then when the credits were starting and all of a sudden it's like
[00:41:01] Screen Australia, I'm like, OK, well, Australia kind of gives us good
[00:41:04] stuff. So maybe this isn't going to be so bad.
[00:41:07] And you know what? It wasn't.
[00:41:09] It was very, very entertaining.
[00:41:13] Long young Alia or Alia.
[00:41:17] Alia, I think it's Alia Brown as Charlotte.
[00:41:19] She was very, very good.
[00:41:21] But honestly, the the movie was kind of stolen by the supporting cast.
[00:41:26] We'll start with the guy that didn't quite steal the movie, but
[00:41:30] Jermaine Fowler is Frank, the exterminator was he was was
[00:41:33] fantastic in this.
[00:41:35] And this this movie is worth watching.
[00:41:39] Just to see Robin, Robin Nevin is Gunther and and Noni
[00:41:43] Hazelhurst is Helga.
[00:41:45] They are sisters and they are they make this movie so
[00:41:50] freaking entertaining.
[00:41:52] No, Helga's, you know, suffering from Alzheimer's.
[00:41:55] She just keeps on calling me.
[00:41:56] Oh, my God.
[00:42:00] Just so good.
[00:42:01] And the way that they play on her is, you know, something will happen.
[00:42:05] And then, of course, she forgets about it.
[00:42:06] And it's just it's in some just some horrible, horrible things will happen.
[00:42:11] And she doesn't know.
[00:42:12] But she's safe because she's wearing a mothball ridden sweater.
[00:42:16] But she's safe because she's in mothballs.
[00:42:18] Apparently, these spiders do not like these aliens are afraid of mothballs.
[00:42:23] That's right. They are.
[00:42:24] In fact, not only are they afraid of them, they actually they do some damage to them.
[00:42:28] Some bad damage.
[00:42:30] But I was I was surprised like I was the the special effect.
[00:42:34] The spider looked good.
[00:42:35] The special effects, for the most part, were quite good.
[00:42:39] The gooeyness was good.
[00:42:41] There's lots of gooeyness.
[00:42:42] You can't go wrong with a little gooeyness, especially when it's in a horror movie.
[00:42:47] I didn't know that I could enjoy a movie about space spiders quite as much as I did.
[00:42:52] This was so, so much better than I thought it was going to be.
[00:42:55] And once again, Gunter and Helga just steal the movies that those two
[00:43:01] alone make this movie so, so entertaining.
[00:43:05] I really, really enjoyed it.
[00:43:07] It was a math.
[00:43:08] Okie dokie.
[00:43:09] That's a really enjoyable math.
[00:43:12] All right. Well, and I stayed awake through the whole thing.
[00:43:14] He did, actually.
[00:43:16] Which I was surprised by because I was tired.
[00:43:18] But this movie perked me up.
[00:43:20] Yeah. And then you were able to almost stay awake.
[00:43:22] And then Arcadian was I almost made it through.
[00:43:26] Almost. But it was like approaching midnight.
[00:43:28] And it's like, man, I've been up since five in the morning.
[00:43:30] And I was just coming home from Edmonton where I was.
[00:43:33] Who hasn't been up since five?
[00:43:34] Working my behind off.
[00:43:35] Yeah.
[00:43:37] So I fell asleep at the end of Arcadian.
[00:43:38] It's true. You have no longer have a behind.
[00:43:41] Yeah, what happens, by the way?
[00:43:43] What is that with as you get older, your bum just disappears?
[00:43:46] A saggy bottom.
[00:43:47] I used to have the most glorious giant butt.
[00:43:50] It was like it was the type of thing where people would literally
[00:43:53] they couldn't keep their hands off it.
[00:43:55] Like strangers would come up and they're like, please, can I can I grab your butt?
[00:43:59] Well, I remember the first time I grabbed your butt.
[00:44:01] I understand because it was glorious.
[00:44:03] I had a glorious butt.
[00:44:04] But then now that I'm like approaching 50,
[00:44:08] I got a back and it goes right into my back of my thighs.
[00:44:12] I there's no but it's gone.
[00:44:14] You're but less. It's very true.
[00:44:16] When I look at you, you're like a shadow of your former.
[00:44:20] I never needed a belt because my butt would hold my pants up.
[00:44:23] Exactly. And now I got to cinch that belt up
[00:44:26] because there is nothing holding my pants up.
[00:44:28] Yeah, it's like it's like it's just like nothing.
[00:44:31] I'm sorry. Yeah, what were we talking about?
[00:44:34] We're talking about the movie Sting.
[00:44:36] So this this film starts with what could be the best
[00:44:40] five minute prologue ever created in a horror movie
[00:44:45] with as Bryce mentioned, Helga and her well managed Alzheimer's,
[00:44:51] where she calls out a few exterminators
[00:44:54] to solve an infestation problem she's having.
[00:44:57] Although the walls, although we do not know what yet.
[00:45:01] We just know there's something in the walls.
[00:45:04] Yeah, that was so good.
[00:45:06] Then after the prologue, we get a story about a CLF
[00:45:10] who's basically a serial killer in the making who finds a space spider
[00:45:14] takes great joy in feeding it till it becomes a killing machine
[00:45:18] throughout the entire building.
[00:45:19] But before that, we get introduced to some of the funniest
[00:45:23] and funnest if funnest is a word, but I don't think it is
[00:45:27] cast of characters.
[00:45:28] We get a homemade scientist who's curing cancer in his kitchen.
[00:45:32] Yeah, he's so good.
[00:45:33] We get an old German Eric that is super bitch,
[00:45:37] who also is the sister of my new love, Helga Helga,
[00:45:43] who I loved, loved dearly Gunter's right from the very first second.
[00:45:47] I was like, I love this woman.
[00:45:49] And Bryce just looks at me and goes, yeah, who doesn't?
[00:45:51] She's the best from the first scene.
[00:45:54] We also get Frank, our exterminator.
[00:45:56] Yeah, he's so good.
[00:45:57] Who's everybody in this movie was brilliant.
[00:46:00] This whole cast was fun and their backstories made this funny.
[00:46:07] It it doesn't drag or sorry, it does kind of maybe drag a little bit
[00:46:12] as the spider grows, but the story is is super predictable.
[00:46:17] But the trip we go along was so entertaining.
[00:46:20] So fun. Yeah.
[00:46:21] I mean, it's all predictable, like nothing in this movie.
[00:46:23] I'm going to watch it and go, oh, wow, I didn't see that coming.
[00:46:26] The movie is not going to change your life, Jim.
[00:46:28] No, but it will entertain you for it was.
[00:46:31] It was fun. I would see this in theaters.
[00:46:32] I think of all the spider movies I've seen, this is probably the best
[00:46:36] because you know what they say?
[00:46:39] If it's made in Australia, good day, mates.
[00:46:43] Throw another mat on the Barbie.
[00:46:46] It's least watchable.
[00:46:47] I've yet to watch an Australian movie.
[00:46:49] Not at least watchable, very watchable and very entertaining.
[00:46:52] It wasn't was the one with the arm wrestling demon
[00:46:57] movie talk to me and talk to me.
[00:47:00] Yeah, that was yeah, that was an Australian film, too.
[00:47:02] And but it was Mondo.
[00:47:03] So, you know, it can't always be Mondo.
[00:47:06] No, this is definitely worth seeing in cinemas.
[00:47:09] I'm going to 100 percent say that. Yep.
[00:47:11] You should see this in cinemas.
[00:47:13] Sure. You want to give that a man?
[00:47:15] Yeah. It was fun.
[00:47:17] It like you can't you can't give a movie like this a Mondo
[00:47:21] because it's there's nothing really original.
[00:47:23] There's nothing original.
[00:47:24] It's just very well done.
[00:47:26] It's very entertaining, but it's not Mondo.
[00:47:28] Yeah. But it was fun.
[00:47:30] You should absolutely go see it.
[00:47:32] Yeah, I agree.
[00:47:33] It was in the classification of the man world.
[00:47:36] It's a high man. Yeah.
[00:47:39] Because I laughed as did I and I was in love with Helga.
[00:47:42] I also love Helga.
[00:47:44] I love space.
[00:47:46] Yeah, Gunter is good, too.
[00:47:47] I didn't love her as much as Helga.
[00:47:49] No, nobody's going Gunter and Helga were both on screen.
[00:47:52] That's gold. That was solid gold.
[00:47:54] It was just them. It could have been a Mondo.
[00:47:56] They actually need a prequel where we just got it.
[00:47:59] And it has nothing to do with spiders or anything.
[00:48:01] No, just Gunter and Helga living together.
[00:48:03] Yeah. Like gone wild or something.
[00:48:06] Yeah. Sure.
[00:48:11] All right. Well, the last film that we saw.
[00:48:13] Oh, wait, it wasn't we saw.
[00:48:15] I couldn't see it because I was in Edmonton.
[00:48:17] It was playing in two cinemas.
[00:48:19] Wasn't playing in Canada.
[00:48:21] It was playing in Calgary and it was playing in Toronto.
[00:48:25] I was in neither of those places.
[00:48:26] You're in neither of those.
[00:48:27] Calgary is the theater that's about to close.
[00:48:29] That's right. And then on Monday night, when I could have seen it,
[00:48:31] it wasn't playing.
[00:48:33] And then on Tuesday night, I worked so I couldn't see it then
[00:48:35] because only playing at one time. That's right.
[00:48:38] So I just couldn't see it. I try. I wanted to.
[00:48:40] Well, this movie was
[00:48:43] the Pakistan's
[00:48:47] submission to the Oscars for best foreign language film.
[00:48:53] But oh, my God, this film, our lead Miriam played by
[00:48:58] Rameshah Nawal lives in a society ruled by misogyny
[00:49:03] and cultural disparity for women, where she is called a whore
[00:49:07] and attacked for being outside alone, driving a car
[00:49:12] and lives with her brother and mother at a time where her grandfather,
[00:49:17] the patriarch of the family, had recently died after an extended health battle,
[00:49:23] which had made the family penniless
[00:49:27] and prey, not as in P.R.A.Y., but P.R.E.Y.
[00:49:32] to the vultures that are the male family members
[00:49:36] that live inside their family.
[00:49:39] All the while, Miriam is trying to go to school to become a doctor.
[00:49:42] So far you can see this is a pretty rich story.
[00:49:44] And I'm not even just touching the surface here.
[00:49:47] Meanwhile, she starts following for a young Canadian man
[00:49:50] returning from returning to Karachi after attending school in Canada.
[00:49:56] We don't I don't think we got to know what city,
[00:49:59] but I'm guessing it was Calgary.
[00:50:03] Sure. Why not?
[00:50:04] Why not? As much as there is bleakness in her life,
[00:50:08] there appears to be hope with a newfound love.
[00:50:11] Soon after a courting period, they decide to take a romantic drive
[00:50:15] to spend time at the beach.
[00:50:17] And this is where shit really hits the fan.
[00:50:20] He dies in a motor crash and things go from bleak to horrible
[00:50:24] as she leaves him at the crash site in the middle of nowhere
[00:50:27] and soon becomes haunted by the grief and horror of the whole experience.
[00:50:32] But all the while, she is also trying to also survive
[00:50:36] past traumas that continue to resurface.
[00:50:39] This story is so complex and full of dread and injustice and fear,
[00:50:45] but also of love, the love of her mother that will stop at nothing
[00:50:48] to bring Miriam out of the darkness and into the light
[00:50:51] by all means necessary, including out of the flames.
[00:50:56] See what I did there?
[00:50:58] This had elements of mental health, abuse, injustice,
[00:51:02] disparity of racial division and a family that together
[00:51:07] find healing from their past.
[00:51:08] And Miriam finally finds peace from her ghosts that haunt her.
[00:51:12] This film was captivating and the cinematography was brilliantly shot.
[00:51:17] And I loved every single frame of this film.
[00:51:20] I can't even explain everything that this film deals with,
[00:51:24] but it is a feast for your senses and for your soul.
[00:51:28] This movie was the best movie I saw this last week.
[00:51:31] It was a mondo.
[00:51:32] I absolutely love this film.
[00:51:34] There's there's there's moments in this that you kind of think, OK,
[00:51:37] is this like supernatural because her dreams and her hauntings
[00:51:42] from her past, I don't really want to tell what happens from her past.
[00:51:46] But there's there's a lot of deep seeded
[00:51:50] family issues that go on top of all these other layers.
[00:51:53] Like, there's just so many layers to the story.
[00:51:55] And it's it's just every single frame as it went forward.
[00:51:58] And it wasn't a long film.
[00:51:59] Like it wasn't like two and a half hours long.
[00:52:02] But I could have sat and watched it for two and a half.
[00:52:04] This film was so good.
[00:52:05] Hmm. So good.
[00:52:07] You're going to be sad you didn't see it and why it didn't get.
[00:52:09] Sure, it'll pop up somewhere.
[00:52:11] It was better than Zone of Interest, I can say that.
[00:52:15] Wow.
[00:52:18] I will be watching it eventually.
[00:52:21] Yeah, you will. Yeah.
[00:52:24] Yes, I will.
[00:52:27] Do do do do do do do do do do do do do.
[00:52:33] Oh, baby.
[00:52:35] All right.
[00:52:36] Well, I actually had something I was into a couple of weeks ago.
[00:52:39] What?
[00:52:41] This week, I want to give some love
[00:52:44] to my second favorite Ryan.
[00:52:47] Olivia and my favorite baby goose.
[00:52:51] That's right. The gosling.
[00:52:54] Goss goss.
[00:52:54] He was on SNL last weekend, and while he lost it
[00:52:58] several times during the live sketches, it was still delivered.
[00:53:02] It was proof that he could make even that untalented cast look good.
[00:53:07] Thankfully, Kate McKinnon and Emily Blunt were there to help him.
[00:53:13] He got a start on TV on Young Hercules.
[00:53:16] Nice. And Breaker High, a high school on a cruise ship.
[00:53:21] What? Sounds stupid.
[00:53:23] Since then, he has delivered one
[00:53:26] Mezbride performance after another.
[00:53:29] Here are some of my favorites.
[00:53:31] Let's hear it in no particular order.
[00:53:34] Lars and the real girl.
[00:53:37] It's a good one.
[00:53:38] Gosling plays a socially awkward small towner whose girlfriend is
[00:53:43] a life size sex doll, one that Lars treats like a human.
[00:53:48] Yes. Absolutely.
[00:53:50] It was just it was amazing.
[00:53:53] It's funny, because I never would have thought you would have loved that movie
[00:53:55] because it was a little weird.
[00:53:56] It was slow, but it was it was weird, but he was so good, so well written.
[00:54:01] I enjoyed it all a lot.
[00:54:03] Next up, I may have to agree with this one.
[00:54:05] The Ides of March.
[00:54:08] George Clooney, you know, Rosemary's nephew.
[00:54:11] Rosemary Clooney. Yep. Yep.
[00:54:13] By the way, I've got some 78 from from Rosemary Clooney
[00:54:17] that I found that I found when I was cleaning out my grandma's house this weekend.
[00:54:21] So well, you can send it to George.
[00:54:24] He has he directs and stars in a glossy political drama,
[00:54:27] playing a presidential candidate.
[00:54:30] Ryan Gosling steals the spotlight as his junior campaign manager
[00:54:35] who gets all caught up in a political scandal.
[00:54:38] He definitely out Sean Clooney in that one.
[00:54:40] That's not difficult.
[00:54:42] Clooney is not that great of an actor.
[00:54:43] One of my favorites.
[00:54:44] The nice guys. It's a good movie.
[00:54:47] Ryan Gosling really laid his comedic timing shine in The Nice Guys.
[00:54:51] His balance of sincerity and exaggeration comes into play
[00:54:54] as he plays a loser private detective in 1970s L.A.
[00:55:00] Nice guys and a lovable father to a precocious daughter.
[00:55:07] Starring opposite Russell Crowe's brooding rival turned friend,
[00:55:11] Gosling spends most of the time the film stumbling around confused and drunk.
[00:55:17] It was just it was so funny.
[00:55:19] It's a good movie.
[00:55:21] Next up, of course, we have Barbie.
[00:55:25] He's just Ken, man.
[00:55:26] It was OK. And he was spectacular.
[00:55:30] And we have half Nelson.
[00:55:34] Half Nelson. Half Nelson features Ryan Gosling as a lonely,
[00:55:37] cocaine addicted history teacher in Brooklyn.
[00:55:40] I saw that at the uptown spiring teachers similar to Robin Williams
[00:55:43] and Ed Poe Society.
[00:55:45] He uses unorthodox methods to better reach his students.
[00:55:50] This performance earned Gosling his first Oscar nomination. Nice.
[00:55:54] Then we have Blue Valentine.
[00:55:57] Stars Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams as a volatile couple
[00:56:01] across two timelines who actually live together
[00:56:06] when they're actually preparing for the roles.
[00:56:09] At times funny, other times just devastating.
[00:56:12] Also, Gosling first chance at singing on screen.
[00:56:17] And of course, Blade Runner 2049.
[00:56:22] Continuing the story of Harrison Ford's Rick Deckard,
[00:56:25] chasing androids and dystopian Los Angeles,
[00:56:28] Gosling appears as a Nexus nine replicant who believes Deckard is his father.
[00:56:33] Come on, Gosling and Harrison Ford together
[00:56:36] and directed by Denny Villeneuve.
[00:56:38] Yeah, I remember when Denny Villeneuve was was undoubted.
[00:56:43] I don't know why he is.
[00:56:44] Oh, because he hated doing that.
[00:56:46] Because he made it.
[00:56:47] You know, if you just want to make it in one and then made something else,
[00:56:52] he could be undoubted.
[00:56:53] Yeah. Then of course, there's La La Land.
[00:56:57] OK, I get it. You guys don't like music.
[00:56:59] I like La La Land and Gosling is awesome.
[00:57:03] And we does he's always trying to put words in our mouth, Murray.
[00:57:07] I'm pretty sure.
[00:57:07] Don't you remember what?
[00:57:08] Oh, you don't remember when Emma Stone got added.
[00:57:10] I had to watch La La Land and it had to be a Mondo.
[00:57:14] And it was.
[00:57:16] Anyway, not only does he sing in this one, he also tap dance
[00:57:19] and plays piano and guitar and bass.
[00:57:23] Yes. He's all of that.
[00:57:24] Got him another Oscar nomination
[00:57:26] and definitely helped Emma Stone get her first best actress Oscar.
[00:57:30] They were magical together.
[00:57:32] Magic, magic.
[00:57:33] And finally, yes, an action film.
[00:57:37] Yes. Drive.
[00:57:39] Drive is awesome. Awesome.
[00:57:40] Considering he barely talks in this movie,
[00:57:43] Gosling totally epitomizes cool, simply referred to as driver.
[00:57:48] Gosling puts in a brooding performance worthy of a standing ovation that can
[00:57:53] stunt men by day, getaway driver by night.
[00:57:56] Gosling is macho without the sexism,
[00:57:59] even falling for his new neighbor, Irene, played by Carey Mulligan.
[00:58:03] The amazing cinematography makes Drive one hell of a ride.
[00:58:08] Yes, indeed. It's a good movie.
[00:58:10] You know, all that stuff that Ryan Gosling's done,
[00:58:13] it sounds like you should be.
[00:58:14] Well, he did some stuff he probably wouldn't like, so I wouldn't presume.
[00:58:18] But anyway, well, we'll have to look at a do or deeper dive.
[00:58:21] I guess so. Anyway, I love the gauze.
[00:58:25] He's awesome.
[00:58:27] Temperature rising.
[00:58:30] Vision blurring.
[00:58:33] Rage taking over.
[00:58:37] Oh, my sweet, sweet rage.
[00:58:58] I love you so.
[00:59:03] OK, well, my rage this week.
[00:59:07] Uh, I don't really have a super big rage, per se,
[00:59:12] other than maybe at my wife for having a panic attack.
[00:59:16] When I when I missed one quarter of a movie thanks to her panic attack.
[00:59:22] Not, you know, I'm the kind of I'm the kind of guy that would
[00:59:26] actually just still step up to the plate, which I did.
[00:59:29] And leave the most one of the most important moments of my life.
[00:59:34] A movie for my wife.
[00:59:36] So I'm not the bad guy here.
[00:59:38] I'm going to say that I did leave.
[00:59:40] But she should probably know to not panic
[00:59:45] before she makes me have to race across the city.
[00:59:48] So it's not a super rage because I love my wife, but you know what?
[00:59:52] And the other rage I'm going to throw into here are two for
[00:59:55] that I did not get to see in flames with Bryce
[00:59:59] because Murray would never see this because I probably was all subtitles.
[01:00:03] All subtitles.
[01:00:05] But Bryce and I could have been in awe together with this one.
[01:00:09] All right, then.
[01:00:11] Yeah, my rage is directly related to Jim's second part of his rage.
[01:00:36] It's that I didn't get to see him in flames because
[01:00:39] I was in Edmonton and I don't know what you guys are going to do
[01:00:44] in about three weeks when that movie theater closes
[01:00:47] and nobody is showing those movies anymore.
[01:00:49] So I'm going to pick somebody's got to pick up the closet.
[01:00:51] Pick it up. Yeah.
[01:00:52] Well, the Plaza is already but they're behind.
[01:00:55] I think they're behind.
[01:00:56] I think one of the other Cineplex because they've been doing that.
[01:00:59] But the sad thing is, is that we would often get to see a double feature
[01:01:03] at at at Eau Claire because we probably end up having to go on a Sunday.
[01:01:08] So we'd watch them.
[01:01:09] Yeah, but now they have been in the middle of the night.
[01:01:11] They close everything down at 7.
[01:01:12] Yeah. So but what's going to happen now is we're going to see them
[01:01:14] on two different theaters.
[01:01:15] We're going to get one one part of the city.
[01:01:17] We're going to drive across the city, drive across the city.
[01:01:19] Yeah. It's going to be sad times.
[01:01:21] So I guess that would be part of your race.
[01:01:23] Yeah. Is your sort of our cinema.
[01:01:27] That's right.
[01:01:28] We throw some more gasoline on that flame.
[01:01:30] There you go.
[01:01:33] OK, then.
[01:01:34] Rage subsiding.
[01:01:38] Plus sawing.
[01:01:41] Anger feeding.
[01:01:44] Well, we are going to be taking a bit of a break for the lists
[01:01:50] for a couple of weeks because we are going to be busy
[01:01:54] with the film festival coming up.
[01:01:55] So for those of you who live in the Calgary area or have access
[01:01:58] to coming down here, check out Calgary Underground Film dot org
[01:02:03] and check out what's playing at the film festival.
[01:02:05] It starts this Thursday.
[01:02:07] You will see Bryce and I and Marie there, the entire festival.
[01:02:11] So but the big question on everybody's lips
[01:02:15] and minds is did Bryce get to see Full Metal Jacket?
[01:02:20] Well, Jim.
[01:02:23] Well, I'm going through all these.
[01:02:24] I'm up in Edmonton, going through my grandmother's house.
[01:02:27] Yes.
[01:02:28] There's just piles and piles of DVDs and my brother's like,
[01:02:31] oh, you got to take some DVDs.
[01:02:32] I'm like, dude, I got so many DVDs.
[01:02:34] I don't need any more DVDs.
[01:02:36] Of course, I came home with a few of them.
[01:02:38] As I'm flipping through them, what do I see?
[01:02:40] Full Metal Jacket.
[01:02:42] The director's cut.
[01:02:43] So I have every intention of watching it.
[01:02:45] Nice.
[01:02:46] Throw it on.
[01:02:48] And what is it?
[01:02:50] Horn.
[01:02:51] It's Mondo.
[01:02:53] No, it's the stupid full screen version.
[01:02:55] So it's not a wide screen version.
[01:02:57] It's made for a four three television.
[01:03:00] What?
[01:03:00] So it's like, I'm not watching this.
[01:03:03] 1994 called and watched its TV back.
[01:03:06] Exactly.
[01:03:07] So I'm like, no.
[01:03:08] So no, I didn't watch it because that was my opportunity
[01:03:12] and it just didn't work out.
[01:03:13] So I will be watching it soon.
[01:03:15] All right.
[01:03:17] I would imagine sometime during the festival.
[01:03:19] Stay tuned people because we just.
[01:03:23] I tried.
[01:03:23] I genuinely tried.
[01:03:25] I know.
[01:03:26] I thought this is glorious.
[01:03:27] It was meant to be.
[01:03:28] It was meant to be.
[01:03:30] Then I put it on and like everybody's all stretched out
[01:03:33] because I'm watching it on wide screen TV when
[01:03:35] it's supposed to be four three.
[01:03:36] You can't watch a Kubrick movie.
[01:03:39] There's no way I was doing that.
[01:03:41] So what did your brother think of Full Metal Jacket?
[01:03:44] I don't know.
[01:03:44] I didn't ask him.
[01:03:45] What do I care?
[01:03:46] Why would you not ask him?
[01:03:48] It's his DVD he stole.
[01:03:49] I didn't steal anything.
[01:03:51] He told me to take them.
[01:03:52] Oh, right.
[01:03:52] Was it your grandma's?
[01:03:53] By the way, this is what I did take.
[01:03:55] I took Man With The Screaming Brain.
[01:03:58] Nice.
[01:03:58] It's a great movie.
[01:04:00] I took a serious man.
[01:04:03] That's also a great movie.
[01:04:05] Edge of Sanity because I've never heard of it.
[01:04:07] It's Anthony Perkins.
[01:04:08] I love.
[01:04:09] Well, I like Anthony Perkins.
[01:04:10] Beware the beast within is the tagline.
[01:04:12] I already like it and we should watch that together.
[01:04:15] Look, he looks like evil.
[01:04:16] Oh, he's super evil.
[01:04:18] And then Youth in Revolt.
[01:04:20] Nice.
[01:04:20] Can't go wrong with little Michael Cera.
[01:04:23] So yeah.
[01:04:23] Justin Long.
[01:04:24] Isn't Justin Long also in there?
[01:04:25] Justin Long is in there.
[01:04:26] Yes.
[01:04:26] It's a great movie too.
[01:04:28] So I picked those up.
[01:04:30] Winner, winner.
[01:04:30] He actually has a ton of good movies.
[01:04:32] I was just like, I just can't take them all.
[01:04:34] For some reason these are the four I ended up with.
[01:04:36] I had a stack of about 50 and I'm like, this is stupid.
[01:04:39] So I just started putting them all back.
[01:04:41] But I just couldn't put these ones back.
[01:04:43] Nice.
[01:04:43] Sorry, what were we talking about?
[01:04:45] We were saying that when we do come back
[01:04:47] to the list, which will be in a couple weeks.
[01:04:49] All right.
[01:04:50] I'll have a verdict on Full Metal Jacket.
[01:04:52] Bryce and I will get to watch a Tony Perkins film that's
[01:04:55] creepy.
[01:04:56] And that.
[01:04:57] I'm sure we'll have time at some point.
[01:04:58] Oh yeah.
[01:04:59] And then Bryce is going to watch Full Metal Jacket.
[01:05:01] We'll find out if Stanley Kubrick is undoubted.
[01:05:03] Yeah.
[01:05:04] All right.
[01:05:05] That's about the size of it.
[01:05:06] It's about the size.
[01:05:15] Last week on Rage or Dare, our troublesome duo
[01:05:19] pulled double trouble from Merman's ice
[01:05:22] creamy bucket of rage.
[01:05:24] Sounds like they may get a double scoop of trouble
[01:05:27] this week.
[01:05:28] Holy crap.
[01:05:28] That's a lot of doubles and troubles all in one place.
[01:05:32] This week, it is in fact Bryce's turn to rage or dare.
[01:05:36] Yes, Bryce, check the calendar.
[01:05:38] And no, it's not your turn every week.
[01:05:40] And yes, you are the biggest baby that's ever lived.
[01:05:43] And that's not just my opinion.
[01:05:45] That is actually a stated fact.
[01:05:49] Come on, Bryce.
[01:05:50] Now let's find out if the trouble is in fact double,
[01:05:53] which it may well be since it involves the Barbarian Brothers.
[01:05:57] Or is it some other factorial of trouble
[01:05:59] that is way more compounded?
[01:06:02] For example, they say it's double.
[01:06:04] But what if in fact it's quadruple trouble?
[01:06:07] No matter what, I think it's safe to say
[01:06:09] that the trouble will not be a prime number
[01:06:11] amount of trouble.
[01:06:13] That we can be sure of.
[01:06:14] Well, boys, how much trouble are we in fact in for
[01:06:17] since it was my understanding that there would be no math.
[01:06:23] Yeah, double trouble.
[01:06:27] This is something else.
[01:06:31] Basically, you've got a burglar named Peter.
[01:06:37] And it's actually the actors named Peter too.
[01:06:40] And yeah, they are the Barbarian Brothers,
[01:06:42] Peter Paul and David Paul.
[01:06:44] And they play in the movie Peter and David.
[01:06:47] Because they're such bad actors,
[01:06:49] they can't remember their names.
[01:06:51] So Peter is a criminal, right?
[01:06:54] And he wants to get some diamonds.
[01:06:56] And his brother David is a cop.
[01:07:00] Wow.
[01:07:01] I know it's crazy.
[01:07:02] It's double trouble.
[01:07:03] They're twin brothers.
[01:07:04] Now here's the twist.
[01:07:06] Despite these guys being from completely different edu-
[01:07:09] like the total differences between them, right?
[01:07:12] Are huge.
[01:07:13] They must work together.
[01:07:15] Together.
[01:07:16] To take down Roddy McDowell, who's like a super villain
[01:07:20] in this.
[01:07:20] Super villain.
[01:07:21] And you know what?
[01:07:25] It was kind of entertaining.
[01:07:28] It's kind of double.
[01:07:30] I'm watching it.
[01:07:32] And I'm like, I know what I'm watching is awful.
[01:07:36] I'm aware that this is awful.
[01:07:39] But it's not taking away from the enjoyment.
[01:07:42] I wasn't giddy, but I was giggling a lot.
[01:07:46] It wasn't that bad.
[01:07:48] I mean, these two are so bad.
[01:07:52] It's good.
[01:07:53] Like how these guys-
[01:07:56] I mean, I get it.
[01:07:57] I mean, they're very...
[01:08:02] Where are you going to come across twins
[01:08:03] that are like in this good a condition?
[01:08:05] And I get the fact that people wanted to make movies
[01:08:09] with these guys.
[01:08:10] But as soon as they start talking-
[01:08:12] and the thing is, you can see that they're having
[01:08:14] a good time acting.
[01:08:16] There's no question that these two are having
[01:08:18] a grand old time doing this movie.
[01:08:21] And it was kind of infectious.
[01:08:25] They were having such a good time
[01:08:26] that I started having a pretty good time.
[01:08:31] So was this an awful, awful movie?
[01:08:35] Absolutely it was an awful movie.
[01:08:38] Did I really enjoy watching it?
[01:08:40] No, but I kinda enjoyed watching it.
[01:08:45] So it's not a rage.
[01:08:47] It's low math and kind of an enjoyable low math.
[01:08:54] So, okay, we get two meatheads who can't act.
[01:09:00] We get Ramon, AKA Radiohead from the movie True Stories.
[01:09:06] Yes.
[01:09:07] We got the original Scotty from Star Trek.
[01:09:10] Oh yeah, he was terrible in this.
[01:09:12] We got-
[01:09:13] We got my main monkey.
[01:09:15] Yeah, Guggen or what's his name?
[01:09:18] Whatever.
[01:09:19] Scotty.
[01:09:22] Yeah, I keep looking for it.
[01:09:23] Doohan.
[01:09:24] Yeah.
[01:09:25] Doohan.
[01:09:26] We got my main monkey man, Roddy McDowell,
[01:09:28] AKA Cornelius.
[01:09:30] Yet with all the talent,
[01:09:32] we still have the Barbarian Brothers.
[01:09:34] Which made it better.
[01:09:35] Now Scotty and Cornelius are giving
[01:09:37] Oscar worthy performances as they act their faces off.
[01:09:41] And as much as-
[01:09:42] Cornelius was.
[01:09:43] Scotty Oscar-
[01:09:44] And as much as I was hoping this was going to be so bad,
[01:09:47] it's funny Murray.
[01:09:48] Yes.
[01:09:49] It's not funny.
[01:09:50] It's funny.
[01:09:51] It's just bad, bad.
[01:09:53] I giggled.
[01:09:54] Not bad funny.
[01:09:55] Bad funny.
[01:09:58] So one of the brothers, the good cop,
[01:10:00] bad brother act, it gets really tired really quick.
[01:10:05] As one of them-
[01:10:07] Oh, come on, the burglar's hilarious.
[01:10:10] It's not.
[01:10:11] The Royded Brothers is a cop who wears a cutoff midriff shirt
[01:10:15] as a cop uniform.
[01:10:17] And the other is a thief.
[01:10:18] They have no chemistry whatsoever.
[01:10:20] That's what's great.
[01:10:21] And the music is awful.
[01:10:23] The music's hilarious.
[01:10:24] This story is idiotic.
[01:10:26] But Scotty and Cornelius were awesome.
[01:10:30] So I guess by Bryce's standards,
[01:10:32] this might have made it to a man.
[01:10:35] It did.
[01:10:36] But wait, just like-
[01:10:37] For me?
[01:10:38] But just like the twins in this movie,
[01:10:40] I am the good film rage reviewer
[01:10:43] and Bryce is the evil one.
[01:10:45] So no, this is not a man.
[01:10:48] Did you know I was gonna rate this man?
[01:10:50] Yes.
[01:10:52] This is a rage.
[01:10:53] This movie's terrible.
[01:10:55] This movie is terrible.
[01:10:58] It's bad, terrible.
[01:10:59] It's hilarious.
[01:11:00] Why is for free on TV?
[01:11:02] I really enjoyed it.
[01:11:03] No, no.
[01:11:06] I did not enjoy this.
[01:11:07] Oh, it was fun.
[01:11:09] No.
[01:11:10] These two cannot act.
[01:11:11] I know, that's what made it terrible.
[01:11:14] That's what made it so good.
[01:11:15] No, but Roddy McDowell was knocking it out of the park.
[01:11:18] Roddy McDowell was actually pretty good.
[01:11:20] He was kind of-
[01:11:21] He was the best monkey man.
[01:11:23] Was not knocking it out of the park.
[01:11:25] He's only played one role his whole life.
[01:11:27] Yes.
[01:11:28] Well, I think he did stuff before it started.
[01:11:31] Yeah, this was terrible.
[01:11:32] I didn't hate it.
[01:11:35] I'm getting that.
[01:11:36] Yeah.
[01:11:37] It was really bad.
[01:11:38] I knew that like three minutes into this,
[01:11:40] like three minutes, I was like,
[01:11:42] okay, there's no way I'm hating this.
[01:11:44] Cause this is already hilarious.
[01:11:48] Watching him run around with his cutoff shirt
[01:11:51] and fighting crime.
[01:11:53] Yeah.
[01:11:54] Then his brother pops up.
[01:11:55] The music alone was enough to make this.
[01:11:57] The banter between him and his brother was so funny
[01:12:02] cause it was so, not only is the script awful,
[01:12:06] but their delivery of the script is beyond awful,
[01:12:10] which just made it amazing.
[01:12:13] No, it was so bad.
[01:12:16] It was so good.
[01:12:17] You definitely hit the mark on this one.
[01:12:19] It was not-
[01:12:20] I quite enjoyed it.
[01:12:21] I thank you, because I never saw this before.
[01:12:25] Nobody saw it.
[01:12:25] And I was like looking,
[01:12:27] I was not looking forward to it.
[01:12:29] And then it started.
[01:12:29] I was like, Holy crap, three minutes in.
[01:12:31] I'm like, this isn't going to be bad at all.
[01:12:34] Like it's gonna be,
[01:12:35] but it's going to be entertaining.
[01:12:37] And it was.
[01:12:39] Yeah, no.
[01:12:40] Everybody out there, watch, watch Double Trouble.
[01:12:43] It is free on Tubi.
[01:12:46] Hashtag Tubi Tuesday.
[01:12:47] And it is worth it, man.
[01:12:49] It is worth every penny.
[01:12:54] The freeness will get you.
[01:12:57] So just letting everybody know,
[01:12:59] we are going to have some additional episodes coming up
[01:13:03] within the next week
[01:13:04] because we will be attending our favorite film festival,
[01:13:07] Kyle Grindergram Film Fest.
[01:13:09] So be ready for that.
[01:13:11] And we are still going to have a regular episode
[01:13:12] next Wednesday.
[01:13:13] So also get ready for that
[01:13:15] where we will be seeing a few things.
[01:13:16] Yeah, of course.
[01:13:17] Are we really?
[01:13:18] Yeah, of course we are.
[01:13:18] Oh yeah.
[01:13:19] We can't be missing it.
[01:13:21] It's-
[01:13:22] We're doing it all.
[01:13:23] It's Wednesday.
[01:13:23] We're doing everything.
[01:13:24] We're going to see, I predict we're going to see-
[01:13:26] We work hard for the money.
[01:13:27] We may work hard for it, honey.
[01:13:28] We're going to see,
[01:13:29] I'm guessing maybe almost 30 films next week.
[01:13:33] No, but for the regular week.
[01:13:35] Yeah.
[01:13:36] We're going to see.
[01:13:37] We're still watching new releases.
[01:13:38] I think there's four new releases
[01:13:39] we'll get to see as well if we're lucky.
[01:13:41] We're on it.
[01:13:42] I'm not.
[01:13:42] If we're lucky.
[01:13:43] Well, you're working so you can't, but be ready.
[01:13:47] All right then.
[01:13:48] So apparently I'm still,
[01:13:49] am I still picking out a movie here?
[01:13:50] No.
[01:13:51] Yeah.
[01:13:52] We'll pick one.
[01:13:53] Don't I just, don't I pick it so that I have it?
[01:13:54] Yeah, sure.
[01:13:55] Go ahead.
[01:13:56] I kind of want to pick it so that if I got some time
[01:13:57] I could watch it.
[01:13:58] Okay, whatever.
[01:13:59] Even if you don't want to do it next week.
[01:14:01] You want to pick from this juicy full bag here or?
[01:14:03] Why we wouldn't do it this week.
[01:14:05] You want to hear it?
[01:14:06] I'll choose from that.
[01:14:07] What?
[01:14:08] This is your bag.
[01:14:09] Yeah, it's delicious.
[01:14:10] Was this what I have to choose from?
[01:14:11] You can choose whatever,
[01:14:13] but it's the closest bag to you.
[01:14:15] So you just take it.
[01:14:16] All right, I'll take it.
[01:14:18] I don't care.
[01:14:19] Coming from you,
[01:14:20] you'd have no idea what I like.
[01:14:22] It's going to be awesome.
[01:14:23] Yeah.
[01:14:24] I thought you would give double trouble in there.
[01:14:30] I don't even know what this is.
[01:14:31] This isn't a movie.
[01:14:32] Yeah, it's totally a movie.
[01:14:33] No, it's not a movie.
[01:14:35] What's it called?
[01:14:36] It's called Cosmic Sin.
[01:14:38] I've never heard of it.
[01:14:39] Oh, you're in for a treat then.
[01:14:42] Number one, I don't think it's a movie.
[01:14:43] Number two, I don't think it had a theatrical release.
[01:14:46] And it's got Bruce Willis.
[01:14:49] There's no way that this was released in a movie.
[01:14:51] It has a gross worldwide US gross of 349,000.
[01:14:56] Eat it.
[01:15:00] I think I know you pretty well.
[01:15:03] And FYI, I have seen this.
[01:15:05] What in the hell is this?
[01:15:07] Is this a science fiction movie?
[01:15:12] Bruce Willis and Frank Grillo
[01:15:13] starring the new epic sci-fi adventure set
[01:15:17] in the year 2520.
[01:15:19] No.
[01:15:20] This is going to be great.
[01:15:21] I can't wait for you to see this.
[01:15:23] So this takes place 500 years from now.
[01:15:26] Yeah.
[01:15:27] So get frozen.
[01:15:28] Sci-fi future means.
[01:15:29] That's right.
[01:15:30] It's your favorite genre.
[01:15:32] With your favorite actor.
[01:15:34] I might not.
[01:15:35] All right.
