[00:01:44] I was a can watch it in theaters if it's not here.

[00:01:45] No that's never what we've done.

[00:01:46] It could have played on one screen in Melbourne Australia and we'd have to watch it.

[00:01:52] Mr Bunny Banks wants to fly us there I'll go watch it.

[00:01:54] No no we're not going there.

[00:01:55] We're not going there.

[00:01:56] They're gonna dare us to see an older movie and then we're gonna go rent it or find it

[00:02:01] and watch it.

[00:02:02] What planet are you on?

[00:02:03] Where have you been hiding for the last five years?

[00:02:06] I don't know I don't pay attention.

[00:02:11] He price lulls me to sleep.

[00:02:12] Oh I'm ready let's go.

[00:02:14] I'm always ready.

[00:02:15] No you're not.

[00:02:17] You weren't ready.

[00:02:19] He was kinda ready.

[00:02:20] No he wasn't.

[00:02:21] Nice.

[00:02:22] You know what I'm looking forward to?

[00:02:25] What's going on?

[00:02:30] Any time there Merman.

[00:02:33] We're waiting.

[00:02:35] We're waiting.

[00:02:36] Everybody's waiting.

[00:02:37] Oh man.

[00:02:38] This is the best thing we've done to our podcast ever.

[00:02:46] Why are we doing this in slow motion?

[00:02:48] What is going on?

[00:02:49] I don't know.

[00:02:50] You two keep cracking up.

[00:02:51] What put the amazing mom in bed?

[00:02:52] What put the amazing mom in bed?

[00:02:53] When did you get up?

[00:02:54] What put the amazing mom in bed?

[00:02:56] What put the amazing mom in bed?

[00:02:58] Will he predict the rage or will he predict the mondo?

[00:03:01] Will he tell his soul what price and chin fat of the movies that they saw in cinemas

[00:03:07] last week?

[00:03:08] He might predict a mess.

[00:03:11] Swim swim swim swim swim swim swim swim swim swim swim swim all the way to the roof

[00:03:21] I don't know why we're doing cuff first.

[00:03:33] You know what?

[00:03:34] I keep you guys on your toes.

[00:03:35] It doesn't make sense.

[00:03:37] Even if everything is normal, you two fuck up the whole beginning of our podcast anyway.

[00:03:41] Always us.

[00:03:42] So what does it matter?

[00:03:43] It's absolute because we shouldn't be doing cuff first.

[00:03:45] Well it's too bad.

[00:03:46] We're not even talking about that.

[00:03:48] Murray is predicting.

[00:03:49] Fine.

[00:03:50] Murray is predicting.

[00:03:51] After you predict, just put on the in cinemas movie.

[00:03:55] We're going to do this in cinemas first.

[00:03:57] This is now messing up everything.

[00:03:58] And then we'll do cuff.

[00:04:00] Nobody knows what I'm talking about.

[00:04:03] Because Murray's supposed to be predicting stuff.

[00:04:05] I also vote for that.

[00:04:07] Yes.

[00:04:08] So you've got control.

[00:04:09] Just do it.

[00:04:10] So in cinemas after this.

[00:04:11] We're a democracy.

[00:04:12] There's three of us.

[00:04:13] Okay.

[00:04:14] Two idiots on the podcast.

[00:04:17] You guys saw three movies and theaters.

[00:04:20] I saw actually two despite my enormously busy schedule.

[00:04:25] Yes.

[00:04:26] I was able to fit stuff in.

[00:04:28] Finally.

[00:04:29] All right.

[00:04:30] First one, which I couldn't talk about last week was Boy Kills World, which I saw at

[00:04:36] cuff and you guys did it.

[00:04:37] No we saw it in cinemas.

[00:04:38] We saw it during cuff.

[00:04:40] Yeah.

[00:04:41] Just not at cuff.

[00:04:42] In a regular cinema.

[00:04:43] It's not the same thing.

[00:04:44] Anyway.

[00:04:45] Jim ignored me at the screening.

[00:04:48] Did he?

[00:04:49] Yeah.

[00:04:50] He just totally just nothing.

[00:04:52] Going without me.

[00:04:53] I'm sitting there jumping up and down screaming Jim, Jim, I'm up here.

[00:04:57] And he's just like nothing.

[00:04:58] And I'm like what?

[00:05:00] What now?

[00:05:01] You didn't even look my way.

[00:05:03] I didn't even look in my direction.

[00:05:05] I was giving him the cold shoulder because he stood me up.

[00:05:09] That's what he gets.

[00:05:10] I didn't stand you up.

[00:05:11] Anyway, first movie Boy Kills World.

[00:05:14] Yes.

[00:05:15] Which, well, I'm not going to say because we'll talk about it later.

[00:05:20] Yes.

[00:05:21] Based on just a pure amount of action and a little amount of story, I think Bryce probably

[00:05:30] raged on it.

[00:05:31] Okay.

[00:05:32] Even though I thought it was fun as hell.

[00:05:34] All right.

[00:05:35] Jim, on the other hand likes good bloody violence and cheesy effects and stuff.

[00:05:41] So I think you might have mondoed that.

[00:05:43] All right.

[00:05:44] So there the King tied.

[00:05:48] Man, I predicts.

[00:05:49] Which I did not like as much.

[00:05:51] What?

[00:05:52] I don't know.

[00:05:53] It was a weird story.

[00:05:54] I mean, it's nice scenery because you know, East Coast.

[00:05:58] I think you guys both met that one because yeah, it was kind of a weird story.

[00:06:03] I don't think it was done that great.

[00:06:04] All right.

[00:06:05] Then the Challengers.

[00:06:07] Challengers.

[00:06:08] Which is about tennis.

[00:06:10] Yes.

[00:06:11] It was about tennis.

[00:06:12] The hard Spider-Man's girlfriend.

[00:06:14] That's right.

[00:06:15] Zendaya.

[00:06:16] Yes.

[00:06:17] I don't know what that means.

[00:06:18] She's dating Tom Holland.

[00:06:19] Yeah.

[00:06:20] Who played Spider-Man?

[00:06:21] Anyway, it's a sports movie.

[00:06:25] Yes.

[00:06:26] You don't like sports movies.

[00:06:27] I do not.

[00:06:28] No, I like sports movies.

[00:06:29] And at the beginning of the trailer, there was some kind of threesome happening.

[00:06:33] Which I do like.

[00:06:34] And then it became some kind of romcom thing.

[00:06:37] Then I don't like.

[00:06:38] So there you go.

[00:06:39] There is rom...

[00:06:40] And it's started...

[00:06:41] You don't like romcom.

[00:06:42] It started the guy...

[00:06:43] Well, it wasn't so much com, but it was definitely rom.

[00:06:45] And it also started the guy you played Prince Charles in one of those TV series.

[00:06:49] Yes.

[00:06:50] Do you recognize him from that?

[00:06:51] The crown.

[00:06:52] That's it.

[00:06:53] One of those.

[00:06:54] So you do watch...

[00:06:55] Crowny.

[00:06:56] I know.

[00:06:57] I just know of stuff.

[00:06:58] Anyway, I think Bryce being a sporty sport guy might have actually enjoyed it a little

[00:07:03] more.

[00:07:04] Okay.

[00:07:05] I think maybe he made that one.

[00:07:06] All right.

[00:07:07] And Jim, he's full of rage.

[00:07:11] Just because everything I just said.

[00:07:13] Okay.

[00:07:14] Anyway, there you go.

[00:07:16] I predict that you got every single one wrong.

[00:07:19] That's what I'm going to...

[00:07:20] I probably did.

[00:07:21] And...

[00:07:22] I know you got three of them wrong.

[00:07:24] And as I've mentioned before, I don't care.

[00:07:28] Sometimes he's amazing and sometimes he's just the amazing mermaid.

[00:07:31] And all the time I don't care.

[00:07:32] All right.

[00:07:33] You guys make me do this.

[00:07:34] We do.

[00:07:35] It's because our listeners demand it.

[00:07:38] Yeah, whatever.

[00:07:39] All right.

[00:07:40] So, hey, this isn't the cuff music.

[00:07:42] No, because we're doing in cinemas first.

[00:07:44] Oh, that's right.

[00:07:45] That's right.

[00:07:46] I remember that whole...

[00:07:47] We took a vote.

[00:07:48] The whole conversation.

[00:07:49] Because it makes no sense to have merman predicts, then do cuff, then do this.

[00:07:52] You know what?

[00:07:53] The listeners just want to hear what you gotta fucking say.

[00:07:55] So get going.

[00:07:56] Chop chop.

[00:07:57] So we're going to start with Boy Kills World.

[00:07:59] Yes.

[00:08:00] And he does.

[00:08:01] Okay.

[00:08:02] Bill.

[00:08:03] Bill Skarsgard stars as Boy.

[00:08:05] He wants revenge on the Vander Koi family as he blames him for the murder of his own family.

[00:08:10] That's the whole premise for this.

[00:08:11] Yep.

[00:08:12] That's it.

[00:08:13] Hunger games.

[00:08:14] And he kills world.

[00:08:15] The action is good and there are some very funny bits, but overall the characters are

[00:08:20] just too thinly written and at 111 minutes long it becomes a little tedious.

[00:08:25] The always entertaining John H. Benjamin keeps the film amusing even during the

[00:08:29] lulls as boys in her voice.

[00:08:31] Plus we have a breakfast cereal sponsoring a public execution.

[00:08:36] Nice.

[00:08:37] Which was almost enough by itself to recommend this.

[00:08:40] This was very fun, but not so fun that I could forgive the flaws.

[00:08:44] I understand that sometimes you have to check your brain at the door when consuming this

[00:08:47] type of entertainment, but I wasn't really able to do that with this.

[00:08:51] There just wasn't enough here for me to really care.

[00:08:54] It was all flash and zero substance.

[00:08:57] The quick cut action sequences left me annoyed for the most part.

[00:09:02] I didn't hate it.

[00:09:04] I just wish it was better because I really think it could have been because it was well

[00:09:08] done for the most part.

[00:09:10] Boy kills world was mad.

[00:09:12] And everything he just said indicates rage.

[00:09:15] So once again, I think I was right.

[00:09:17] I think he's been too generous, but whatever.

[00:09:21] Well, let's hear what I have to say.

[00:09:23] I loved it.

[00:09:24] You said you were annoyed and you didn't like it.

[00:09:26] I was annoyed by parts of it.

[00:09:28] I was also amused by parts of it.

[00:09:30] Yes.

[00:09:31] And when you add it all up, it equals.

[00:09:34] Man, guaranteed.

[00:09:36] But the whole movie didn't annoy me.

[00:09:39] I've been annoyed by a movie for 97 minutes and then in the 98th minute, it redeems itself

[00:09:45] and becomes a mondo.

[00:09:46] Yeah.

[00:09:47] See that for you and I are different.

[00:09:48] Which may happen to this week.

[00:09:50] If I'm annoyed for 90 minutes, nothing's going to save it.

[00:09:54] Nothing.

[00:09:55] Well, but you're sometimes going to annoyed into the movie before you watch it.

[00:09:58] Yeah.

[00:09:59] And then you hate the movie.

[00:10:00] Sometimes you've made up your mind before the opening credits even come on.

[00:10:04] Only if Ben Affleck is in this.

[00:10:06] Oh, it's the worst.

[00:10:08] All right.

[00:10:09] Well, let me tell you about boy kills world.

[00:10:13] The Hunger Games meets the running man meets enter the dragon meets Bob's burgers

[00:10:19] meets kick ass meets double dragon.

[00:10:22] God damn it.

[00:10:23] There's a lot of meets in this.

[00:10:25] There is some humor, a lot of action, tons of over the top goer tastic violence, a revenge

[00:10:31] story that puts the most awesome scars guard in a fight to avenge what he thinks is his

[00:10:41] dead sister and mother.

[00:10:43] Still in scars guards not in this.

[00:10:45] I know, but that's what he thought.

[00:10:47] But you said the most awesome scars.

[00:10:49] That's why it's debatable.

[00:10:51] It's the most.

[00:10:52] It's pretty debatable.

[00:10:53] He's the most awesome scars.

[00:10:54] But he's not stealing.

[00:10:55] Yeah, I know he's he's billed the best.

[00:10:57] He's top five.

[00:10:58] Oh wait, there's only like five.

[00:11:00] He's the best.

[00:11:01] Anyways, you're done.

[00:11:03] I'm sorry.

[00:11:04] There is a lot of great characters in this and a lot of awesome.

[00:11:08] My biggest problem.

[00:11:10] Oh, problem.

[00:11:11] Yeah, is that revenge.

[00:11:14] La revenge movies should never be over two hours long.

[00:11:18] And yes, technically this is an hour and 55 minutes.

[00:11:21] But this took forever to end.

[00:11:24] And on top of that, they stopped the comedy narration, which brought the humanity and the humor into this about halfway in.

[00:11:33] And then they picked it up for the last few minutes near the end.

[00:11:36] I'm like, stay consistent.

[00:11:38] If you're going to have an inner monologue for have Bob's Burgers in there fucking have it for the whole movie.

[00:11:43] Like they just stopped it.

[00:11:45] It was just like, hey, you know what?

[00:11:47] We should probably just stop the inner monologue because we got nothing to say.

[00:11:50] He still should have been saying something all through the movie.

[00:11:53] He wasn't stopped.

[00:11:54] So I loved a lot of this, but it's runtime and it's inconsistent narrative stopped it at a very high man.

[00:12:02] Interesting.

[00:12:04] I like the cheese grater kills.

[00:12:06] That's what I want to say.

[00:12:08] And I got other things, but let's wait here.

[00:12:11] By the way, he walked out during the credit so he didn't even see the end credit.

[00:12:15] Wow.

[00:12:20] It was like the entire credits ran and then it came up.

[00:12:24] No, I watched it.

[00:12:25] I watched it at the bottom of the thing.

[00:12:27] The way to walk around the corner.

[00:12:29] Yeah, you did.

[00:12:30] Yeah, I did.

[00:12:31] No, you didn't hashtag.

[00:12:33] We do gate.

[00:12:34] No, you did not.

[00:12:35] I did.

[00:12:36] It was around the corner.

[00:12:37] No, you did not.

[00:12:38] You left so early.

[00:12:39] There's no where you stood there for like another three minutes looking at somebody else because I did.

[00:12:44] There is only two people in the front row there.

[00:12:47] You freaking idiot.

[00:12:50] All right, Mary, what did you think?

[00:12:52] First of all, I'm disappointed at both of you.

[00:12:54] Okay.

[00:12:55] You wanted to give it a Mando and you should have given it a raise.

[00:13:00] I wanted to.

[00:13:01] I would have been right.

[00:13:02] I'm just saying.

[00:13:03] I wanted to give it a Mando.

[00:13:05] I consider it two for two.

[00:13:07] But anyway.

[00:13:08] Okay.

[00:13:09] Yeah, boy kills were which I saw at cuff with a packed audience.

[00:13:13] That's right.

[00:13:14] Who freaking loved it?

[00:13:16] Nice.

[00:13:17] Including our good buddy, Javall, who was sitting next to me.

[00:13:20] Awesome.

[00:13:21] We laughed our asses off the whole movie because the whole movie almost the whole movie.

[00:13:26] Yeah, there is about 20 minutes in the middle that I wasn't laughing.

[00:13:29] Well, yeah, sure.

[00:13:30] Me had tried to bend the middle but there was still stuff to see.

[00:13:32] It wasn't like it was like a romantic scene or something.

[00:13:35] Kind of got boring.

[00:13:36] Yeah.

[00:13:37] So boy, that's the guy's name.

[00:13:39] Yep.

[00:13:40] Kills.

[00:13:41] He's deaf.

[00:13:42] And me, he decided he's going to have an inner monologue.

[00:13:47] But it's not just any minute in her monologue.

[00:13:49] It's the movie guy.

[00:13:50] He has like the movie phone.

[00:13:53] You know, everything is awesome voice.

[00:13:56] It's much I loved it.

[00:13:59] Crack me up.

[00:14:00] I don't watch Bozburgers because I don't watch cartoons.

[00:14:02] Do you watch Archer?

[00:14:03] No, it's also a cartoon.

[00:14:05] Yeah, it's each John anyway.

[00:14:07] I love that part of it.

[00:14:09] Again, the cheese creator scene was fantastic.

[00:14:11] It was good.

[00:14:12] I loved his two side kicks.

[00:14:14] The whole execution scene, it was Christmas wonderland with like snowman and stuff and

[00:14:21] they're like beheading people and I could not stop laughing.

[00:14:25] It was awesome.

[00:14:27] And yeah, I love pretty much every part of this.

[00:14:29] Awesome.

[00:14:30] The ending was a little like, okay, this is how you're going there.

[00:14:33] But and the girl from Happy Death Day was also awesome.

[00:14:37] It took me while to place who she was.

[00:14:40] But yeah, is that her name?

[00:14:42] Girl from Happy Death Day.

[00:14:44] Is that what the credits read?

[00:14:46] Of course.

[00:14:47] That's where she's from.

[00:14:48] That's the one thing I know her from.

[00:14:50] All right.

[00:14:51] But she was awesome in those two movies too.

[00:14:52] Yeah.

[00:14:53] Now she gets a kick ass on this one.

[00:14:54] So will she now be the girl from Boy Kills World or is she still going to be the

[00:14:59] girl for me?

[00:15:00] She will.

[00:15:01] And also but also from the girl from so he'll reference her in both those movies.

[00:15:05] Exactly.

[00:15:06] All three of them actually.

[00:15:07] Yeah.

[00:15:08] Of course it was a bond.

[00:15:09] I freaking loved that.

[00:15:10] I loved every minute.

[00:15:11] Awesome.

[00:15:12] I love it.

[00:15:13] 111 minutes wasn't long enough.

[00:15:14] Best part of the movie was just him not being able to read Buddy's lips.

[00:15:19] That was awesome too.

[00:15:20] He's deaf mute, but the guy he's like, he thought he was speaking gibberish,

[00:15:25] but he just had a thick accent or something.

[00:15:27] I just every time he interpreted what he said, I was hilarious.

[00:15:32] But movies can be funny and it could be, but as a complete package,

[00:15:37] you got it.

[00:15:38] I would have enjoyed even more if you two had been there, but you weren't.

[00:15:43] Well, we were watching something else that we wouldn't have been able to see.

[00:15:48] Exactly.

[00:15:49] So here's the thing, Marie.

[00:15:51] Well, we'll tell this to you and everybody who's listening.

[00:15:54] We go to film festivals to see movies that we're never going to get to see

[00:15:59] in cinema anywhere.

[00:16:01] So when we saw that this movie is going to be playing the same week that Cuff is on.

[00:16:06] Five days later.

[00:16:07] Five days later, we're like, okay, we can either see a movie that we're not going to get to see.

[00:16:12] And yet there's a movie coming up this weekend that also we saw at Cuff,

[00:16:16] which you could have waited a week.

[00:16:18] Yeah, but that was Cronenburg.

[00:16:20] That's baby, baby.

[00:16:21] It doesn't matter.

[00:16:22] But also, plus the movie that was playing against it was not one that we were going to see.

[00:16:28] Anyway, yeah, no, I loved it.

[00:16:29] So that's why I was a minor.

[00:16:30] Well, I'm glad you know, they're to your point, the cheese grater scene is good.

[00:16:34] The snow murder session was fantastic.

[00:16:37] What did you guys think of the twist at the end?

[00:16:40] It was, I mean, it left me a tiny bit cold, but I at that point, I was like,

[00:16:46] not the way I would have gone.

[00:16:47] But I mean, yeah, I mean, it was a nice end fight.

[00:16:50] I didn't hate it.

[00:16:51] Yeah.

[00:16:52] That's what we're not telling anybody what the twist is,

[00:16:55] but there's a bit of a twist at the end.

[00:16:57] And it's, it's just kind of there.

[00:17:00] I didn't hate it either.

[00:17:01] Yeah.

[00:17:02] And Murray, it sounds like you didn't love it.

[00:17:04] So I didn't like, you know, bend my mind or anything.

[00:17:06] No, no, but you still like it didn't.

[00:17:08] Well, no, I mean, you didn't go, wow, I'm sure glad they put that in there.

[00:17:11] But no, but despite what I thought of what the twist was,

[00:17:14] the final fight scene was still a freaking awesome.

[00:17:16] Yeah.

[00:17:17] It was the matter who was against.

[00:17:19] Except it was about 10 minutes too long because it went on for like six

[00:17:22] hours.

[00:17:23] Wasn't the last fight scene six hours?

[00:17:24] It was not quite six hours.

[00:17:26] Just under six.

[00:17:27] It just felt like six hours.

[00:17:29] Enjoy good action scenes where you guys don't.

[00:17:32] Moving on.

[00:17:34] Yeah, Bill Skarsgard is the best.

[00:17:36] All right.

[00:17:37] So we got to see the King Tide, which this trailer has been playing for a

[00:17:43] little while and I'm going to say this many thanks to Isla is what I want

[00:17:49] to say.

[00:17:50] I think we're all going to be seeing that for except for Murray, maybe.

[00:17:53] For being in the best Canadian film I have seen this year.

[00:17:58] This film is so beautifully shot far into the year off the coast.

[00:18:03] That's right.

[00:18:04] No, we're not beginning of May.

[00:18:07] Yes, we're a third of the way through.

[00:18:09] We've had four months so far.

[00:18:11] Yeah.

[00:18:12] 33% of the way.

[00:18:13] That's right.

[00:18:14] Yeah, that's 33% is one.

[00:18:16] Yeah.

[00:18:17] Oh my God.

[00:18:18] 33%.

[00:18:19] Can you two shut up?

[00:18:20] Everything you say is stupid.

[00:18:22] 40%.

[00:18:23] Okay, so this film is so beautifully shot off the coast of New

[00:18:27] Finland, Canada with scenery so incredible and Canadian with a

[00:18:33] folklore tale for the ages where the characters are so well

[00:18:37] developed and the acting by all are fantastic.

[00:18:41] The story of a little girl who washes up on an island off from

[00:18:47] the mainland filled with simple living people who up until her

[00:18:53] arrival have lived in an environment of communal living

[00:18:57] where everyone has their place and everyone knows the importance

[00:19:02] of who they are and what they do.

[00:19:06] But Isla is special and she has the gift of healing and bounty

[00:19:12] and also we soon find out the ability to kill bees for being

[00:19:17] nasty to her friend.

[00:19:20] Four shadowing from here.

[00:19:23] We are taken through a series of situations where we are brought

[00:19:27] into the minds of the community members with what they should

[00:19:31] do with Isla and how best she can best serve the community,

[00:19:37] especially when she loses her powers.

[00:19:40] This film is very complex and really makes us reevaluate what

[00:19:46] is important, the value of a complete community or the safety

[00:19:50] and security of one child.

[00:19:52] This Canadian film is so good and the ending is probably one of

[00:19:56] the very best endings in a folklore horror film that I have

[00:20:00] ever seen in a long time.

[00:20:02] This film was Mondo.

[00:20:04] I loved every second of it.

[00:20:06] It had not one minute of boring.

[00:20:08] It was so fantastic that I just want to repeat it many thanks

[00:20:13] to Isla and I got some unpacking to do but let's hear what the

[00:20:16] Mur has to say.

[00:20:17] Let's see what the Mur has to say.

[00:20:19] What are you on here?

[00:20:21] We didn't think you were going to see it.

[00:20:24] I was sitting right beside you.

[00:20:26] No, I know but until then I hadn't thought.

[00:20:29] I made this up beforehand.

[00:20:31] Yeah, this movie was too weird for me.

[00:20:33] Did we go to this together?

[00:20:35] Yes, we did.

[00:20:37] We saw, okay, just everybody knows over the last...

[00:20:40] At my theater.

[00:20:41] Over the last, what is it?

[00:20:43] Week and a half.

[00:20:45] We've seen like 30-some movies.

[00:20:47] You have.

[00:20:48] Yeah.

[00:20:49] So the fact that we can't remember...

[00:20:51] This was the only one I saw in theaters with you guys.

[00:20:53] What was where?

[00:20:54] Is beyond crazy.

[00:20:55] It reminded me of The Village.

[00:20:57] It really did.

[00:20:58] Yeah?

[00:20:59] It's like, yeah, they're isolated on this island and

[00:21:01] they're self-sustaining blah, blah, blah.

[00:21:03] Yeah?

[00:21:04] But they had no electricity.

[00:21:06] They were self-sustaining.

[00:21:08] Then they started to cheat.

[00:21:10] Yeah, they weren't cheating.

[00:21:12] That pissed me off the most.

[00:21:14] Yeah, that's what people do.

[00:21:16] It's this wonder kid isla.

[00:21:19] Many things die when many things die.

[00:21:21] She was basically helping them catch fish.

[00:21:23] I'm like, is that really a good use of her powers?

[00:21:26] Apparently they need it.

[00:21:28] Then her parents...

[00:21:29] Gots to eat, Murr.

[00:21:30] Basically were making her heal people.

[00:21:34] A huge line outside her door.

[00:21:36] She wanted to be doing it.

[00:21:38] She seemed okay with it.

[00:21:40] No, she wasn't okay with it.

[00:21:41] She didn't seem pissed.

[00:21:42] She got a teddy bear every day.

[00:21:44] She got hugs from everybody.

[00:21:45] She was miserable.

[00:21:46] Everybody loved her.

[00:21:47] Then of course the incident that happens

[00:21:49] that traumatizes her.

[00:21:51] Then they have to drug her to make her do the thing.

[00:21:53] I'm like, yes.

[00:21:55] Big surprise that freaking welfare people show up.

[00:21:58] Yeah, because you're a kid.

[00:22:00] You've given away a lot, Murr.

[00:22:02] I want to say I've raged about this,

[00:22:07] but there was some good parts.

[00:22:09] What good parts?

[00:22:10] I did enjoy the scenery.

[00:22:12] I enjoyed everything basically at the end.

[00:22:15] Yeah, it was a man.

[00:22:17] Barely a man.

[00:22:19] You two yammered on and on and on.

[00:22:21] I knew you would.

[00:22:23] I knew that Jim was going to say most of what I wanted to say

[00:22:26] except for maybe a couple of things.

[00:22:27] That's why you didn't say anything.

[00:22:28] I'm going to say something.

[00:22:30] What?

[00:22:31] First, I'm going to say many thanks to Ila.

[00:22:33] Of course.

[00:22:36] Followed by many thanks to Ila.

[00:22:39] Yes, you can never give her enough thanks.

[00:22:42] This film reaps the benefits of its picturesque location

[00:22:46] combined with a slow building tension

[00:22:48] and an almost perfect ending.

[00:22:50] Maybe a perfect ending.

[00:22:51] It is a perfect ending.

[00:22:52] It is a precautionary tale of the dangers of isolationism

[00:22:56] and how gang mentality can override logic.

[00:22:59] The film has atmosphere and abundance,

[00:23:01] which adds to the package.

[00:23:03] I love this film.

[00:23:04] It was Mondo.

[00:23:06] Simple as that.

[00:23:08] Some of the unpacking that I want to do is the debate.

[00:23:13] This film has people potentially at two different sides.

[00:23:17] The whole concept, the whole discussion around

[00:23:20] is one person more important than an entire community.

[00:23:24] No.

[00:23:26] You say no.

[00:23:27] What do you say, Bryce?

[00:23:29] I say that they became reliant on something

[00:23:34] that they shouldn't have become reliant on.

[00:23:36] Yes, exactly right.

[00:23:38] They got by before and you can't always take the easy way.

[00:23:43] People are going to die, but guess what?

[00:23:46] People die.

[00:23:47] People get diseased.

[00:23:49] That was the thing.

[00:23:50] The person that died died because they were stupid.

[00:23:52] In this particular case,

[00:23:54] I don't think it's as simple as the question that you're asking.

[00:23:57] Because in the question of your asking,

[00:23:59] of course it's one person.

[00:24:02] It's going to be great.

[00:24:03] But I don't know that there are many,

[00:24:05] there's a giant gray area in this movie.

[00:24:08] I know, but that's what I like so much about it

[00:24:10] is that it wasn't very cut dry

[00:24:12] because at times in the movie,

[00:24:14] you're going like, yeah, yeah, I can see grandma's point.

[00:24:17] And then at other points,

[00:24:18] it's time for them to get her out of there.

[00:24:20] Yeah, it wasn't really.

[00:24:22] I'm bored with grandma.

[00:24:24] Grandma was awesome.

[00:24:26] Grandma was she was.

[00:24:28] Yeah, she was she was.

[00:24:30] She was evil.

[00:24:31] Yeah, I'll put more on that.

[00:24:33] Yeah, you know what?

[00:24:35] Yeah, the the whole name.

[00:24:38] It was somebody famous.

[00:24:39] Yeah, she's a crap.

[00:24:42] Let's look at a lady who's been a lot of stuff.

[00:24:45] So so flattering.

[00:24:48] You just wasn't Kathy Jones.

[00:24:51] I know that was it the girl from happy something day.

[00:24:57] Or what is it?

[00:24:59] Happy happy death day.

[00:25:01] Happy death day.

[00:25:02] They made two of so you can't even get her name.

[00:25:05] And then you're like, yeah, she's a old lady.

[00:25:07] It's Francis Fisher.

[00:25:09] That's it.

[00:25:10] The Titanic.

[00:25:11] Yes.

[00:25:12] So evil chick from Titanic.

[00:25:14] Yeah, she was so she knew something about

[00:25:18] keeping young people hostage because it's the same thing with

[00:25:21] Kate Winslet on Titanic.

[00:25:23] So she does.

[00:25:24] I don't even remember that movie.

[00:25:26] I just remember they were like floating on a big piece of wood.

[00:25:29] And I don't understand why they both couldn't be.

[00:25:32] Spoiler alert.

[00:25:33] Sound sound.

[00:25:34] I agree.

[00:25:35] Like why would look like two people easily.

[00:25:38] No, she was the mother who was making Kate Winslet.

[00:25:41] Mary the evil bastard.

[00:25:42] Yeah.

[00:25:43] So there you go.

[00:25:44] She's you know what?

[00:25:45] Once evil always evil.

[00:25:46] She's not always, but because she was also in the Unforgiven

[00:25:49] and she was a good person.

[00:25:50] I never saw it.

[00:25:51] Well, you know, many thanks to our many thanks to our.

[00:25:54] Yeah, you know what?

[00:25:55] This this movie like sometimes the the scenery is this part of

[00:26:01] the story.

[00:26:02] Yeah.

[00:26:03] And in this one, I did enjoy that.

[00:26:05] It's it's so visually amazing.

[00:26:07] Yeah.

[00:26:08] No, it's you could sit there and just watch this movie with

[00:26:11] no sound and not know what's going on.

[00:26:13] Yeah.

[00:26:14] Excellent.

[00:26:15] And just look and go wow.

[00:26:16] It was very well written, which was like it's like wow, it looks

[00:26:19] beautiful.

[00:26:20] And it's it's kind of a great movie.

[00:26:23] It's with a perfect ending with a perfect.

[00:26:26] I don't want to tell I want to spoil this for everybody, but

[00:26:29] you need to see this in cinemas because you want to see it

[00:26:32] on the big screen and be ready for the best ending of a

[00:26:36] movie that's ever been made ever.

[00:26:38] It's so good.

[00:26:39] It's perfect.

[00:26:40] I'd make a different.

[00:26:41] She was so wet.

[00:26:43] Yeah.

[00:26:44] Apparently we're got a wet dog in the house.

[00:26:46] We're about to have the wet dog take take down our entire

[00:26:49] system.

[00:26:50] That's right.

[00:26:51] Yeah.

[00:26:52] So yeah, you guys both modeled that one.

[00:26:55] We did.

[00:26:56] I watched it so it's not unanimous.

[00:26:58] Yeah, you're right.

[00:26:59] So no buttons.

[00:27:00] There may not be a button push today.

[00:27:01] That's all I want to say.

[00:27:02] Oh, by the way, maybe the next movie.

[00:27:04] Oh for four.

[00:27:05] Yeah.

[00:27:06] Again, I don't care.

[00:27:08] There's no sense poking the bear on this one.

[00:27:11] I don't care.

[00:27:12] Okay, so we also got to see challengers.

[00:27:16] We did the tennis movie.

[00:27:19] Yes.

[00:27:20] All right, Bryce, what did you think of challengers?

[00:27:23] Challengers is directed by Luca Guadagnino.

[00:27:27] Yes.

[00:27:28] I'm going to have to say his name a couple times.

[00:27:30] Say it again.

[00:27:31] I'm not looking forward to it.

[00:27:32] I think I'm butchering it.

[00:27:33] Guadagnino.

[00:27:34] Guadagnino.

[00:27:35] Guadagnino.

[00:27:36] Kind of just rolls off your tongue once you start saying it.

[00:27:39] G is pretty much silent.

[00:27:40] The second one.

[00:27:41] So it's Guadagnino is what I'm going with.

[00:27:43] I don't think that's good.

[00:27:45] Sure.

[00:27:46] Let's go with that.

[00:27:47] Anyways, what was I saying?

[00:27:49] Oh yeah, it was directed by Luca Guadagnino.

[00:27:52] Yeah, we got that part already.

[00:27:54] Guadagnino.

[00:27:55] Guadagnino.

[00:27:56] Who once again switches gears with this tale of three tennis players who lives

[00:28:00] are intertwined professionally and personally.

[00:28:02] This is the man that brought us the brilliant bones in all.

[00:28:06] Yes.

[00:28:07] The documentary Salvatore Shoemaker of Dreams about Ferragamo.

[00:28:10] Yes.

[00:28:11] The remake of Suspira, which probably did not need to be made, but it did not.

[00:28:15] Still was stunning to look at and call me by your name, which is one of the best

[00:28:20] movies about first love that has ever been made.

[00:28:25] I would agree.

[00:28:26] Now what do those films have in common?

[00:28:28] Nothing.

[00:28:29] Same director.

[00:28:30] Guadagnino does something different every time he sits in the director's chair.

[00:28:34] Yes.

[00:28:35] In Challengers, he brings the best out of his young cast.

[00:28:38] Zendaya has never been better and the same could be argued for Mike Feist

[00:28:42] and Josh O'Connor.

[00:28:44] The music is jarring at times, but maybe that was the point.

[00:28:47] The jumps back and forth between different times in their lives

[00:28:51] was a little annoying at first, but as the tennis match played out

[00:28:54] that spans the duration of the film, it became clear that this was

[00:28:58] necessary in order to tell the story of this love triangle.

[00:29:01] Guadagnino made some interesting choices with some of the camera movements,

[00:29:05] especially during the climax of the film.

[00:29:08] He is a man that takes chances in his filmmaking and will try something

[00:29:11] different because why not?

[00:29:14] I love this visionary filmmaker and he has once again taken me on

[00:29:18] a unique ride that I have never experienced before.

[00:29:22] Challengers was Mondo.

[00:29:24] All right.

[00:29:27] Okay.

[00:29:28] So this movie does a good job of developing the characters

[00:29:34] in the first 10 minutes.

[00:29:36] Then, spans what seems to be hours continuing to develop

[00:29:41] the same characters they did in the first 10 minutes.

[00:29:45] But the characters that they develop for the most part are completely

[00:29:48] unlikable and annoying.

[00:29:50] Also, the story bounces around like a lost tennis ball on a

[00:29:54] tennis ball court that's built on a trampoline.

[00:29:57] That's the point.

[00:29:59] No, it's like on a trampoline park.

[00:30:01] No.

[00:30:02] It's not on a tennis court.

[00:30:04] It's like a trampoline park.

[00:30:05] No.

[00:30:06] Meaning it's bouncing way too many fucking times.

[00:30:08] No.

[00:30:09] Unlike most sports movies though, this isn't like Rocky 1

[00:30:12] or Rocky 2 ending.

[00:30:13] It's more like a sports movie modeled off of a soap opera.

[00:30:18] And for the most of this movie, the posturing of the

[00:30:22] characters are boring and annoying.

[00:30:24] I just kept wishing an editor would show up and help take

[00:30:28] away some of this story, which pretty much went nowhere for

[00:30:32] more than two hours.

[00:30:34] Zendaya in this is brilliant and was a complete powerhouse

[00:30:39] of an actor.

[00:30:40] She crushed every single person that's in her wake

[00:30:42] in this film.

[00:30:43] You all know my thoughts and feelings about sports

[00:30:46] movies.

[00:30:47] It's very difficult to make one that I liked.

[00:30:49] And soap operas.

[00:30:51] I've never seen any value worth watching up until the very

[00:30:55] last game that is played in this movie, which is basically

[00:31:00] the last 10 minutes.

[00:31:03] I really felt that this was going to give me that

[00:31:07] Rocky 1 or Rocky 2 ending.

[00:31:09] Then I would complain about how long this film was and

[00:31:12] build my frustration to a point of rage that I could

[00:31:15] not come back from.

[00:31:17] But, and I don't say this very often,

[00:31:21] but the last 10 minutes made me not hate this film so

[00:31:24] much.

[00:31:25] So even though I hated the characters, I thought it was

[00:31:28] way too long.

[00:31:29] I thought it bounced around too much and I'm not giving

[00:31:31] credit for Bryce's.

[00:31:33] What comes on to a game...

[00:31:35] That was the point, but yeah.

[00:31:37] Yeah, I got the point.

[00:31:38] I actually got it.

[00:31:40] I didn't like any of the people.

[00:31:41] So it was tough to get into the characters that they

[00:31:44] already explained in the first 10 minutes.

[00:31:46] What comes on through a game of tennis in the last

[00:31:49] 10 minutes, save this from being a rage.

[00:31:51] 10 minutes and Zendaya's

[00:31:53] massive talent alone makes this

[00:31:56] sports movie a survivable man.

[00:31:59] Oh for six.

[00:32:01] I am claiming a three for six and that's the end of it.

[00:32:05] You can claim it.

[00:32:07] You're making me do this.

[00:32:09] I'm claiming it.

[00:32:11] By the way, the whole point was that these

[00:32:13] characters were unlikable.

[00:32:14] That was the whole thing.

[00:32:15] You're watching unlikable characters.

[00:32:17] I know.

[00:32:18] I know that.

[00:32:19] But there's got to be at least one thing about any of

[00:32:22] them that you will kind of want to continue to

[00:32:24] watch the movie.

[00:32:25] I found the whole middle of the movie boring.

[00:32:27] The last 10 minutes in that game was some of the

[00:32:31] best 10 minutes of a movie that I've seen in a while

[00:32:36] other than the last 10 minutes of the King Tide.

[00:32:40] It was like, I kept thinking, Maria, I was

[00:32:43] seeing there a whole time going, I'm really

[00:32:45] not enjoying this movie fully.

[00:32:47] However, and at no point was I not enjoying it.

[00:32:50] It was so, so good from start to finish.

[00:32:54] There is so good all the way through it.

[00:32:57] And it's it was like a soap opera murder.

[00:32:59] No, it was not like a soap opera.

[00:33:01] Which is the two minute trailer that I watched that

[00:33:03] I based this on.

[00:33:04] Yeah, yeah.

[00:33:05] It was just saying it was very so play me if

[00:33:08] you guys change your mind about five minutes.

[00:33:10] We did.

[00:33:11] I didn't.

[00:33:12] I loved it from actually, I shouldn't say that.

[00:33:14] It took me about 10 minutes to get into the swing

[00:33:16] of things because I was like, what the hell is going on?

[00:33:18] And then once I figure, oh, OK.

[00:33:20] And then and then like a tennis ball pretty much.

[00:33:23] And then I got into it and then he had me.

[00:33:27] Yeah, I didn't think he's a I think he's a

[00:33:30] freaking genius film.

[00:33:32] I think he's a really good filmmaker.

[00:33:34] Whatever.

[00:33:35] All right then.

[00:33:37] I like all of his other stuff.

[00:33:39] Yeah, yeah, let's get on the cuff.

[00:33:42] Wait, I want to talk more about this.

[00:33:44] No, you don't too bad.

[00:33:45] Yeah, Zendaya was awesome.

[00:33:46] Yeah, you're a great.

[00:33:47] Everybody else was kind of whatever.

[00:33:49] She would have been the only thing I would have gone to.

[00:33:51] I thought I thought all three of them.

[00:33:52] I hate tennis and I hate romantic shit.

[00:33:54] You know what?

[00:33:55] So I would have enjoyed her.

[00:33:56] What could have made this a mondo is if it was

[00:33:58] just Zendaya playing tennis for two hours.

[00:34:00] Or if they say like a half an hour out of it.

[00:34:02] Of all the sports in the world, the only one

[00:34:06] that I really like watching is women's tennis.

[00:34:08] I don't.

[00:34:09] OK, I don't.

[00:34:10] Let's move on.

[00:34:11] Nobody cares if you like watching women.

[00:34:13] Sure do.

[00:34:14] I love my sisters.

[00:34:18] Love your sisters.

[00:34:19] The sisters.

[00:34:20] The sisters are the dominant.

[00:34:21] Oh, yes.

[00:34:22] And that's the reason why I don't watch women's tennis.

[00:34:24] So we're different there.

[00:34:27] I liked everybody but those two.

[00:34:29] Really?

[00:34:30] They're the best.

[00:34:31] That's kind of weird.

[00:34:32] All right.

[00:34:33] So we've got the second half of cuff.

[00:34:37] Now our first half of cuff.

[00:34:39] Like though we didn't.

[00:34:40] It wasn't quite a full half of cuff.

[00:34:43] We didn't see as many movies in the second half

[00:34:45] as we did the first half.

[00:34:46] Yeah, it took two days off.

[00:34:47] Well, yeah, one and a half days off.

[00:34:50] One and a half days off.

[00:34:51] Yeah.

[00:34:52] Friday and Sunday.

[00:34:53] That's two days.

[00:34:54] Oh, yeah.

[00:34:55] Friday and Sunday.

[00:34:56] That's two days.

[00:34:57] Two and a half days off.

[00:34:58] Was there a half day?

[00:34:59] What was the half day?

[00:35:00] But Sunday was all reruns except for that one documentary.

[00:35:02] Which is the one I saw.

[00:35:03] The one documentary that I wish I would have went.

[00:35:05] See, there you go.

[00:35:06] Should have come forward.

[00:35:07] We'll get that.

[00:35:08] We'll get that one on the criterion channel.

[00:35:10] Yes.

[00:35:11] There you go.

[00:35:12] Probably.

[00:35:13] So I think I had more Mondos in the second half than Bryce did.

[00:35:18] I had two.

[00:35:19] I had four.

[00:35:20] Okay.

[00:35:21] Okay.

[00:35:22] You better start.

[00:35:23] I'll start and then you just add in your comments.

[00:35:25] Then I'll say if I agree.

[00:35:27] Okay.

[00:35:28] So in the second half of cuff.

[00:35:30] Yes.

[00:35:31] My first Mondo, and it may not be in order, is hippo.

[00:35:35] Okay.

[00:35:36] So I think for the ages, narcissistic son hippo, his adopted sister

[00:35:40] buttercup, and their mom who's suffering from some level of

[00:35:44] mental illness.

[00:35:45] Aided it.

[00:35:46] Which creates this hilariously weird and dry whitted family

[00:35:50] dynamic.

[00:35:51] It's very hard to describe what this movie is about.

[00:35:54] All right.

[00:35:55] Yes, I loved it.

[00:35:57] I also thought that hippo was Mondos.

[00:36:01] What?

[00:36:02] Story of a peculiar young man named hippo when his Hungarian

[00:36:04] adopted sister buttercup.

[00:36:06] This is a visually striking effort from Mark Rappapour in his

[00:36:10] directorial feature debut.

[00:36:12] Looking forward to more from this guy because this was genius.

[00:36:15] This was such a good movie.

[00:36:17] I agree.

[00:36:18] And Murray didn't like it.

[00:36:20] I hated it.

[00:36:21] It was too weird for Murray.

[00:36:22] Yeah, of course it was.

[00:36:23] I didn't even think it was that weird.

[00:36:25] It was weirder than it was weird.

[00:36:28] Okay.

[00:36:29] On the Murray scale, it was weird.

[00:36:31] Yeah.

[00:36:32] I really judged because you and I don't really have a

[00:36:34] measurement stick.

[00:36:35] Yeah, I don't think I'm weird.

[00:36:37] Because that's what I mean.

[00:36:38] I didn't think anything we saw was weird though.

[00:36:40] That's because you like the weird movies.

[00:36:41] I don't.

[00:36:42] It's true.

[00:36:43] We love weird.

[00:36:44] All right.

[00:36:45] The other one I have, which I know you didn't give a

[00:36:47] Mondo to because I saw you rate it unless you gave it

[00:36:50] changed it after you rate it.

[00:36:51] I might have forgotten.

[00:36:52] Okay.

[00:36:53] So the last, the second one that I'm giving a

[00:36:55] Mondo to is thank you very much.

[00:36:56] The documentary about Andy Kaufman.

[00:36:58] I loved it.

[00:36:59] Who is my hero?

[00:37:00] But not so much that I gave it a Mondo.

[00:37:01] His absurd humor and pushing boundaries in the humor

[00:37:05] world.

[00:37:06] I have always understood and admired this doc did not

[00:37:09] paint him as anything but who he was.

[00:37:12] And for that alone, this is worth a Mondo.

[00:37:15] Pure awesome talent.

[00:37:17] I freaking love this documentary.

[00:37:19] It was Mondo.

[00:37:20] It's good.

[00:37:21] Yeah.

[00:37:22] It was Mondo.

[00:37:23] It was a high man.

[00:37:24] All right.

[00:37:25] All right.

[00:37:26] Another one that I think, I don't know.

[00:37:28] I can't.

[00:37:29] Who is going to be your other Mondo?

[00:37:31] I'm pretty sure.

[00:37:32] All right.

[00:37:33] Falling Stars.

[00:37:34] Yes.

[00:37:35] In an alternate universe where witches call once a

[00:37:38] year and get a night where three brothers make the

[00:37:43] worst mistake of their lives.

[00:37:45] The production values were super basic and the sound at

[00:37:49] times wasn't great.

[00:37:51] But this story that is super simple was so well done

[00:37:55] and for the budget, this film was.

[00:37:57] I freaking loved that this movie didn't get to see any of

[00:38:01] the monsters except for a dead one in a grave.

[00:38:04] I freaking love this movie.

[00:38:05] It was Mondo.

[00:38:06] Falling Stars was Mondo.

[00:38:08] What movie about witches from above that draws you in

[00:38:11] slowly and keeps you entrenched in the mythology that

[00:38:14] the film has created.

[00:38:15] I absolutely love this movie.

[00:38:17] All right.

[00:38:18] Perfect.

[00:38:19] Did you get to see this one?

[00:38:20] No, it was working.

[00:38:21] Working like a dog no doubt.

[00:38:23] All right.

[00:38:24] All right.

[00:38:25] So the one that gave out a Mondo to which apparently you

[00:38:27] didn't give a Mondo to is cuckoo.

[00:38:29] Yeah, it was a high German US co-production a young lady

[00:38:34] with a recent loss of her mom moves to Germany to be

[00:38:38] with her dad stepmom and step sister all to find out

[00:38:42] her new village is harboring a secret breeding

[00:38:46] regiment for weird creatures that have weird screams

[00:38:52] and are super creepy as fuck.

[00:38:54] I love this movie because I didn't.

[00:38:56] It was okay.

[00:38:57] I didn't.

[00:38:58] I didn't have a clue about what these monsters were.

[00:39:02] Like again, they built this whole universe for these

[00:39:04] monsters and at the end of the day, the only thing we

[00:39:06] know about these monsters is they can run really fast.

[00:39:09] They can.

[00:39:10] They're a little bit stronger.

[00:39:11] They have this screaming thing that kind of freezes

[00:39:14] you but then like I don't think they eat anybody

[00:39:17] or anything like that.

[00:39:18] I think they just plant their eggs in the way they go.

[00:39:21] Yeah, it's okay.

[00:39:23] I liked it.

[00:39:25] No, I like this one.

[00:39:27] Here's my problem with that.

[00:39:28] I didn't like it.

[00:39:29] Okay.

[00:39:30] Is I was promised by a certain programmer who's a good

[00:39:34] friend of ours.

[00:39:35] Yes.

[00:39:36] This would not have subtitles.

[00:39:38] Oh, this is at the end of my long day of work.

[00:39:41] Murray viewing your subtitles.

[00:39:43] The problem with the subtitles is I don't have

[00:39:47] my glasses anymore.

[00:39:48] That's right.

[00:39:49] And Bryson Sisson sitting at the very back row.

[00:39:52] If I was sitting in the third row, I might have

[00:39:54] actually been able to read stuff while you can move

[00:39:56] up.

[00:39:57] No, because it was sold out.

[00:39:59] I was sitting at the very back row.

[00:40:01] Hit.

[00:40:02] Yeah, I didn't.

[00:40:03] I couldn't actually read half of the subtitles

[00:40:05] which were in German because big surprise,

[00:40:07] they're in Germany.

[00:40:08] Yeah.

[00:40:09] Uh, but yeah.

[00:40:10] So yes, I fell asleep about halfway.

[00:40:13] Nice.

[00:40:14] I did not enjoy it.

[00:40:15] I wasn't in the back row.

[00:40:16] People would worry about me.

[00:40:18] Yeah, well, they were about sitting where you

[00:40:20] because you're not where you usually sat.

[00:40:22] You moved to a different section.

[00:40:23] Wow.

[00:40:24] Not really.

[00:40:25] Well, an upper we're in the back right in the

[00:40:27] lower we're in the back because your seats that

[00:40:29] the back left and you weren't sitting there.

[00:40:31] We can sit in back left and up because they're

[00:40:34] broken.

[00:40:35] Sit one seat over.

[00:40:36] All right.

[00:40:37] Top three.

[00:40:38] All right.

[00:40:39] Top three for the whole day.

[00:40:42] Dang festival.

[00:40:44] My top three and I got honorable mentions.

[00:40:46] Honorable mentions.

[00:40:48] I go ahead.

[00:40:49] We didn't agree on any of this, by the way,

[00:40:52] but yeah, do your honorable mentions.

[00:40:54] Let's I do the stuff.

[00:40:55] You just follow that's right.

[00:40:56] And then you change the rules.

[00:40:58] I never change the rules.

[00:40:59] He makes a schedule.

[00:41:00] Okay.

[00:41:01] Go with these are my honorable mentions in a

[00:41:04] violent nature because it's like a slasher

[00:41:09] movie that I fully loved so much and so much

[00:41:13] walking.

[00:41:14] So much.

[00:41:15] I love walking.

[00:41:17] My second my third second honorable mention is

[00:41:20] cryptic.

[00:41:21] I freaking love this movie.

[00:41:23] It's Mondo.

[00:41:24] You gave it Mondo as well.

[00:41:26] Yes, you did.

[00:41:27] Are you sure?

[00:41:28] Yes, I'm positive.

[00:41:30] Oh yeah.

[00:41:31] Yeah, you did.

[00:41:32] You love this movie.

[00:41:33] It's about a cryptic character.

[00:41:35] Right.

[00:41:36] And it's cryptic.

[00:41:38] And it's really cryptic.

[00:41:39] He tastic.

[00:41:40] I loved it.

[00:41:41] It's cryptic.

[00:41:42] And my third and final honorable mention.

[00:41:45] Yeah, three because I was losing to do five

[00:41:47] and one.

[00:41:48] Goodness gracious.

[00:41:49] Okay, this one made a major top three.

[00:41:51] So I just want to get it in there.

[00:41:52] You've already said one that made my top three.

[00:41:54] It's rats.

[00:41:55] Yes, it definitely did make my top three.

[00:41:57] There you go.

[00:41:58] So rats is my third honorable mention.

[00:42:00] Okay.

[00:42:01] My third favorite movie of cough was hippo.

[00:42:05] Hippo.

[00:42:06] Yes.

[00:42:07] Did that make your honorable mention?

[00:42:09] Sure.

[00:42:10] Hippo is an honorable mention.

[00:42:13] Number two is I saw the TV glow.

[00:42:16] That's my other honorable mention.

[00:42:18] I am still processing this movie.

[00:42:20] I freaking love that movie.

[00:42:22] And it's so, the ending is also so good.

[00:42:26] We've had so many films this last week where the

[00:42:29] endings are so, so good.

[00:42:31] And half the time we're like fighting ourselves

[00:42:33] because the ending is not moving.

[00:42:35] The movie was so good and then the ending

[00:42:37] let us down, but that did not happen.

[00:42:39] Like there was so many good endings to movies

[00:42:41] that it was just like, yeah, this is exactly

[00:42:43] how this movie should have ended.

[00:42:45] So that's why I saw the TV glow made my top three.

[00:42:49] And my favorite movie of the festival was Omen.

[00:42:52] Nice.

[00:42:53] It is a feast for the senses.

[00:42:56] It is a feast for your soul.

[00:42:58] Omen is brilliant when it comes out in major

[00:43:02] release, people should see this film.

[00:43:05] It will change the way you think about your family

[00:43:08] and the dynamics within your family, I'm sure of it.

[00:43:10] It did for me.

[00:43:12] So number three for me was in a violent nature.

[00:43:15] The slasher film is back.

[00:43:17] I've been waiting for someone to make a

[00:43:19] decent slasher film for ever.

[00:43:22] And someone has finally done it.

[00:43:24] And kind of blew my expectations out of the water.

[00:43:27] This is actually one of the better slasher films

[00:43:30] maybe ever made.

[00:43:31] I think it is the best.

[00:43:33] I'm going to stand on a stack of satanic bibles

[00:43:36] and I'm going to say this is the best

[00:43:39] slasher movie that's ever been made.

[00:43:41] My second favorite movie from Cuff was

[00:43:45] Rats.

[00:43:47] All in performance by Daniel Ploger

[00:43:50] makes this worth watching all by itself.

[00:43:54] But from start to finish, this film just getting

[00:43:57] just kept on getting more and more enjoyable.

[00:43:59] I haven't seen a movie in a while where it starts

[00:44:01] kind of amusing and then just gets more

[00:44:04] and more enjoyable as it went along.

[00:44:07] By the end of it, I was like it's like

[00:44:09] usually there's like a lull at the end

[00:44:11] or towards the middle, but it just kept

[00:44:13] it was enjoyable throughout the whole thing.

[00:44:15] I really love that movie.

[00:44:17] And number one is also Omen is almost

[00:44:21] so woman.

[00:44:23] Kofi has a nose bleed at the wrong time.

[00:44:26] It's mistaken for a curse and then a lot of stuff happens.

[00:44:31] The film kind of explores the beliefs

[00:44:34] and culture of the Congo and kind of the

[00:44:36] as I say, it makes you kind of look at your

[00:44:38] own family dynamic.

[00:44:40] It is a very, very, very, very, very, very good movie.

[00:44:45] Man, it was just a fantastic film.

[00:44:48] I was lucky enough to, I've seen it now

[00:44:51] three times.

[00:44:53] Every time I watch this movie, I'll get

[00:44:55] something different.

[00:44:56] And I don't like to normally watch movies a second time.

[00:44:59] So, but I can see that wood helmet with the

[00:45:03] nails being driven into his head every day of the week.

[00:45:07] There you go.

[00:45:08] It was delicious.

[00:45:09] OK, Mer, what's your top three at the best?

[00:45:12] Well, as I again was working full-time for those 10 days.

[00:45:16] I saw maybe 10 films and I hated like half of them.

[00:45:21] Most of the ones you guys monde out, I hate them.

[00:45:23] OK, well, what were you talking about?

[00:45:25] There were three that you liked.

[00:45:26] There were three I liked and I'm going to do

[00:45:28] two honorable mentions because just because.

[00:45:30] All right.

[00:45:31] Because there were five you liked.

[00:45:32] And they're both documentaries.

[00:45:34] All right.

[00:45:35] What?

[00:45:36] First one, thank you very much.

[00:45:38] Thank you very much.

[00:45:39] Which as an honorary previewer actually got to see

[00:45:42] and that's the only one that I saw that made it in.

[00:45:45] Nice.

[00:45:46] So I didn't have to see it at the festival I ever saw it.

[00:45:48] Yeah, and Andy Coppins just freaking weird.

[00:45:52] I've seen Man on the Moon, which is actually the first movie

[00:45:56] I liked Jim Carrey in.

[00:45:57] What?

[00:45:58] Because that's the first time he actually became

[00:46:00] a serious actor until then he was a goofball.

[00:46:02] Dependable.

[00:46:03] And then since then I've liked him in everything.

[00:46:05] But yeah, except for Sonic.

[00:46:07] But yeah.

[00:46:08] Nobody likes him.

[00:46:10] Anyway, that was a very, and it was behind the scenes

[00:46:12] footage.

[00:46:13] It was like talking to, you know,

[00:46:14] Danny DeVue and all of his co-stars and his wife.

[00:46:17] And yeah, even when he died of cancer,

[00:46:19] they all thought he was still playing a joke on him.

[00:46:21] He might still be playing a joke.

[00:46:22] We don't know.

[00:46:23] He might still be alive, Merm.

[00:46:24] This is like the biggest joke.

[00:46:26] Some of his bits like on SNL just reading a book

[00:46:29] and then like the very end credit,

[00:46:31] which you know not giving me anything here.

[00:46:33] Basically it was a, it was this scene where he,

[00:46:36] he sits on a stage and eats ice cream.

[00:46:38] That's the whole bit.

[00:46:40] I'm like okay.

[00:46:41] And they just watch him eat ice cream.

[00:46:43] But yeah, it was a very weird movie but I enjoyed it.

[00:46:46] The other one is one you guys didn't see.

[00:46:49] Never Look Away, which I saw Sunday afternoon

[00:46:52] after I got to meet Lou Diamond Phillips.

[00:46:55] Just saying.

[00:46:56] That's what I want.

[00:46:57] I really want to see never.

[00:46:58] Yeah, I was directed by Lucy Lawless

[00:47:00] and she did a nice little intro of it.

[00:47:02] Nice.

[00:47:03] From New Zealand and she mentioned Calgary by name

[00:47:05] so that was nice.

[00:47:06] Yeah, it was the true story of this CNN woman,

[00:47:11] what do you call it?

[00:47:13] Videographer, what do you want to call it?

[00:47:15] Correspondent.

[00:47:16] She shot the video.

[00:47:17] She followed the wars around.

[00:47:18] Like, I read it.

[00:47:19] So did you actually get to see what were photographers look like?

[00:47:22] Oh yeah, and I saw what happened to her.

[00:47:24] Yeah.

[00:47:25] And yeah, it was horrific.

[00:47:26] Yeah, so.

[00:47:27] Basically if you know her story at all, basically she landed

[00:47:30] in the US apparently with no memory of her past

[00:47:32] or she didn't want to talk about it or something.

[00:47:34] Just became a CNN videographer and then she got shot

[00:47:38] in the face by a sniper because she was pretty loose

[00:47:41] with like the drugs and she dated younger men and stuff

[00:47:44] and then yeah, her whole bottom face was just like gone.

[00:47:47] She's like trying to sew it back together

[00:47:49] and then she continued after that.

[00:47:51] She recovered from that to cover the other

[00:47:55] like Israeli and Palestine wars.

[00:47:57] Like she was fearless and yeah,

[00:48:00] she was a phenomenal character and she I think

[00:48:02] eventually died of cancer but it was amazing documentary

[00:48:05] and I don't like documentaries.

[00:48:07] So are you going to take back some of your comments

[00:48:09] about Civil War because you probably got to see

[00:48:11] some actual footage where you're saying

[00:48:13] that's not how it really happened in Civil War.

[00:48:17] Because again, she had her face shot off.

[00:48:20] Yeah.

[00:48:21] Whereas in Civil War, no bullets ever touched the

[00:48:24] journalists so just saying people get shot

[00:48:27] even when they're wearing a vest that says press on it.

[00:48:30] It's true.

[00:48:31] So and they also get kidnapped for ransom too.

[00:48:34] So anyway, no, it was an amazing film.

[00:48:36] So okay by top three because again, I didn't see very much.

[00:48:39] They all I saw them all opening weekend because that's

[00:48:42] that's when you had time.

[00:48:43] I had the day off.

[00:48:44] Nice.

[00:48:45] Half a day off.

[00:48:46] I actually see two back and back but I don't know

[00:48:49] particular order, I guess humane number three.

[00:48:53] Baby baby Cronenberg.

[00:48:54] Yeah, which yeah, I enjoyed it because like you guys,

[00:48:58] I don't really like a lot of Cronenberg stuff because

[00:49:00] it again too weird for me.

[00:49:02] This was not that weird of a film.

[00:49:04] This isn't by the other.

[00:49:05] And it started my buddy Jay.

[00:49:08] I love Jay Bereshell.

[00:49:09] Yeah.

[00:49:10] And my favorite Canadian actress who does sex comedies.

[00:49:13] Emily Hampshire.

[00:49:14] Canadian sex comedy.

[00:49:19] Yeah, she's been like 10 of them and I've seen nice.

[00:49:22] Second one is okay.

[00:49:26] I'll put boy kills world number two because it was a

[00:49:30] Mando but it wasn't my favorite of the whole festival.

[00:49:33] Okay, we're going to get I can't wait to hear what

[00:49:35] number one which you guys didn't even talk about.

[00:49:37] But I absolutely freaking loved and I actually saw it twice

[00:49:41] much like our cuff couple that comes to the festival.

[00:49:45] Last stop to Yuma at Yuma, whatever the.

[00:49:49] The Yuma one in Yuma County.

[00:49:52] Yuma County.

[00:49:53] Yeah, I love it.

[00:49:54] It's a great movie.

[00:49:55] It was a hell of a thrill ride.

[00:49:57] And yeah, it reminded me so much of bad times over

[00:49:59] Yall, which I also love.

[00:50:00] Yeah.

[00:50:01] Then it went Tarantino at the end there.

[00:50:03] And I did like this one.

[00:50:04] I freaking loved it is a good very, very good.

[00:50:06] It's a Mando director was there talking about it.

[00:50:09] So it's a try Mando anyway.

[00:50:11] Yeah, no that was a favorite movie that actually got to see.

[00:50:14] You know that is one that you can press the buttons for

[00:50:18] because you can end it with that.

[00:50:20] Oh, we're all going to mando that way.

[00:50:21] We all did want to wait.

[00:50:22] But you didn't put on your list.

[00:50:23] It didn't make our top three.

[00:50:25] What didn't make my top six exactly.

[00:50:27] But it was still Mando animals eating my leg right now.

[00:50:32] Nice.

[00:50:33] At least she's not actually licking your leg.

[00:50:35] Nice.

[00:50:36] Is there like is there like chocolate or loves you?

[00:50:39] Peanut butter on your leg.

[00:50:40] There might be nice.

[00:50:43] I was trying to eat something in my pocket.

[00:50:45] Nice.

[00:50:46] I'm going to put things in my pocket for next week.

[00:50:49] Yeah, you do that.

[00:50:50] Maybe a little meatloaf.

[00:50:52] Oh baby.

[00:50:54] All right.

[00:50:57] This week I have another fun list for you because

[00:51:00] you know what I like to do those.

[00:51:02] He loves the list.

[00:51:03] Most bad movies bomb at the box office.

[00:51:06] Yes.

[00:51:07] Not all box office bombs are bad.

[00:51:09] What?

[00:51:10] Here are a few for your consideration and possible

[00:51:13] second look.

[00:51:14] Oh.

[00:51:15] First stop, Citizen Kane.

[00:51:18] 1941.

[00:51:19] Yes.

[00:51:20] Was a critical success during a theatrical run.

[00:51:23] The film struggled because of the interference

[00:51:26] of the newspaper mogul, William Randolph Hearst

[00:51:29] who was the inspiration behind the character.

[00:51:31] He hated so much that he banned all of his

[00:51:34] newspapers from mentioning it or advertising the movie.

[00:51:37] Whoa.

[00:51:38] And he bribed several theater chains to not play it.

[00:51:41] Wow.

[00:51:42] As a result, the movie lost around 160 grand

[00:51:44] which in 1941 was a lot of money.

[00:51:46] A lot of money.

[00:51:47] Yeah.

[00:51:48] Like a million dollars.

[00:51:49] Didn't stop it from being one of the best films

[00:51:50] in history though.

[00:51:51] Yep true that.

[00:51:52] I won't say the because people.

[00:51:53] It's true.

[00:51:54] Opinions vary.

[00:51:55] That is true.

[00:51:56] Next up, the king of comedy.

[00:51:59] Oh yeah.

[00:52:00] Is one of Martin Scorsese's best character studies

[00:52:03] almost as good as Taxi Driver or Raging Bill.

[00:52:06] The film was a huge financial flop despite

[00:52:09] featuring Robert De Niro and Jerry Lewis.

[00:52:12] Yeah, Jerry Lewis is brilliant.

[00:52:14] King of comedy only brought in 2.5 million

[00:52:16] on a budget of 19.

[00:52:18] Yoics.

[00:52:19] Next up, one of your favorites.

[00:52:21] Yes.

[00:52:22] The thing.

[00:52:23] Yes.

[00:52:24] Was a critical and box office bomb only bringing

[00:52:28] in 19 million on a 15 million dollar budget.

[00:52:31] Yeah, I think there was a lot of things it was competing

[00:52:33] against at the time.

[00:52:34] It was a victim of timing.

[00:52:35] The alien movie genre in the early 80s was dominated

[00:52:38] by Spielberg like feel good movies.

[00:52:40] I think ET came out like the same weekend or something.

[00:52:43] Yeah, then there was Mac and me and I was a bunch of ones.

[00:52:46] Other terrible movies.

[00:52:47] Other alien type ones.

[00:52:50] But yeah, they were very feel good stories.

[00:52:53] Something that the thing was not.

[00:52:55] Yes.

[00:52:56] Then we have one of my favorites, Shawshank Redemption.

[00:53:00] Oh wow.

[00:53:01] Hard to believe that a film that is considered one of the

[00:53:03] greatest movies ever made did not win a single Oscar

[00:53:06] and its box office hall was equally unspectacular.

[00:53:09] Wow.

[00:53:10] It's 25 million dollar movie made just over 28 million

[00:53:12] in domestic theatrical run.

[00:53:14] Not new to enough to turn it for often.

[00:53:16] Well, that sounds like they made 3 million.

[00:53:18] Yeah, that's not a lot.

[00:53:20] Yeah.

[00:53:21] Then we have Bottle Rocket.

[00:53:24] What?

[00:53:25] Wes Anderson got his start with a major box office flop.

[00:53:28] Bottle Rocket, his feature directorial debut

[00:53:31] cost 5 million dollars to make and bombed the box office

[00:53:35] by not even getting close to the 1 million dollar.

[00:53:38] No.

[00:53:39] Love that movie.

[00:53:40] In the US, Bottle Rocket ended its run with a paltry

[00:53:42] of 560 thousand dollars.

[00:53:44] No.

[00:53:45] Regardless, Anderson made a big fan out of Martin Scorsese

[00:53:48] and he got an even bigger budget of 10 million dollars

[00:53:51] for his follow up movie Rushmore.

[00:53:54] Which is my favorite Wes Anderson movie.

[00:53:56] Basically, he would give him his break out.

[00:53:58] Then we have The Big Lebowski.

[00:54:02] 1998.

[00:54:04] Where's the money Lebowski?

[00:54:07] Well, it's now considered as one of the Coen Brothers

[00:54:09] most iconic films.

[00:54:10] The Big Lebowski did not seem like an instant classic

[00:54:13] when it was first released.

[00:54:14] The critics misunderstood the film's humor.

[00:54:16] Even the Coen Brothers themselves were disappointed

[00:54:19] by how it turned out.

[00:54:21] The film's original domestic haul only brought in 18 million.

[00:54:24] What?

[00:54:25] Barely more than the 15 million it cost to make it.

[00:54:27] And everybody knows the dude.

[00:54:29] It's a classic now.

[00:54:30] Everybody knows the dude.

[00:54:31] Then we have Office Space.

[00:54:33] Yes.

[00:54:34] 1999.

[00:54:35] Mike Judge's beloved comedy was a box office flop

[00:54:40] when it came out in 1999.

[00:54:42] Only grossing 12 million dollars on a 10 million dollar budget.

[00:54:45] After years of airing as a Comedy Central

[00:54:47] plus a few iconic memes,

[00:54:49] this work by Satcher became a quotable classic.

[00:54:52] Yep.

[00:54:53] And then one of my favorites, Josie and the Pussycat.

[00:54:57] Yes!

[00:54:58] I think that's all one of our favorites.

[00:55:00] A film way ahead of its time.

[00:55:02] Josie and the Pussycat was dismissed upon its release

[00:55:05] as a brainless adaptation of the classic cartoon.

[00:55:08] It is brilliant.

[00:55:09] The poor reception of the film

[00:55:11] led to poor performance in theaters

[00:55:13] making 14 million on roughly $22 million budget.

[00:55:16] No!

[00:55:17] Between its bumping soundtrack, satirical bite

[00:55:20] and unapologetically feminine world view,

[00:55:22] Josie and the Pussycats paved the way

[00:55:25] for the monster that became Barbie.

[00:55:27] Yep.

[00:55:29] And we have Children of Men.

[00:55:31] Oh yeah.

[00:55:32] That was excellent.

[00:55:33] Why would I consider one of the best films

[00:55:35] of the 21st century despite earning

[00:55:37] widespread critical acclaim

[00:55:40] and three Oscar nominations?

[00:55:42] Who let the Clive Owen win?

[00:55:44] It is!

[00:55:45] The $270 million worldwide and disappointing

[00:55:47] $35 million in the US.

[00:55:49] It's great!

[00:55:50] Universal spends $76 to produce it.

[00:55:52] But yeah, that made it a bust.

[00:55:54] But I enjoyed it.

[00:55:55] I thought it was good.

[00:55:56] Yeah, it's great.

[00:55:57] And finally we have Only Lovers Left Alive.

[00:56:01] Not even the vampire genre could boost

[00:56:03] Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive

[00:56:05] into a profit.

[00:56:07] I just bought that the other day.

[00:56:09] Tilda Swinton opposite Tom Hilsdon

[00:56:11] was inspired casting and a hit with critics.

[00:56:13] Yep.

[00:56:14] Many of whom named Lovers one of 2014's

[00:56:16] best movies.

[00:56:17] Yep.

[00:56:18] But moviegoers in the US all but ignored

[00:56:20] the film.

[00:56:21] Yep.

[00:56:22] Caused $7 million to make and made under

[00:56:24] $2 million at the box office.

[00:56:26] And it plus it made $10 because I bought it

[00:56:28] just the other day.

[00:56:29] There you go.

[00:56:30] I actually haven't seen this.

[00:56:31] You haven't seen it?

[00:56:32] No way.

[00:56:33] It's about vampires.

[00:56:34] It stars Swinton and Hilsdon.

[00:56:35] Makes me want to check it out.

[00:56:36] Well, you'll have to come over to my house

[00:56:37] and watch it.

[00:56:38] I will do that sometime.

[00:56:39] Yes, you will.

[00:56:40] Yeah, that's all I got.

[00:56:41] Bryce will sit the hell down

[00:56:42] and we can move on.

[00:56:43] Sweet list.

[00:56:44] He's dancing with his dog.

[00:56:46] I don't know what the hell he's doing.

[00:56:47] He's dancing with his,

[00:56:48] dancing with his,

[00:56:49] he's doing something.

[00:56:51] Temperature rising.

[00:56:52] Vision blurring.

[00:56:53] Rage taking over.

[00:56:56] Oh my sweet, sweet rage.

[00:56:57] All right.

[00:56:58] Well, my ring is

[00:56:59] a little bit more than

[00:57:00] what I've ever seen.

[00:57:04] I'm not sure if it's

[00:57:05] a good ring or not.

[00:57:06] I'm not sure.

[00:57:07] I'm not sure.

[00:57:08] I'm not sure.

[00:57:09] I'm not sure.

[00:57:10] I'm not sure.

[00:57:11] I'm not sure.

[00:57:18] I'm not sure.

[00:57:19] I'm not sure.

[00:57:20] I'm not sure.

[00:57:21] I'm not sure.

[00:57:22] I'm not sure.

[00:57:23] Well, my rage this week

[00:57:26] is about loss.

[00:57:28] So there's two big losses

[00:57:32] that have happened

[00:57:34] in actually all of our lives

[00:57:37] that happened just recently.

[00:57:38] It's now,

[00:57:39] what is it?

[00:57:40] Wednesday?

[00:57:41] Yeah.

[00:57:42] Yeah.

[00:57:43] So the first rage is

[00:57:45] that cuff is over

[00:57:47] and I don't know how

[00:57:49] Bryce and I are going to get through

[00:57:50] not watching 30 movies a week

[00:57:52] because I'm a little tired,

[00:57:54] but I'm ready for round two now.

[00:57:56] It's so much better than working.

[00:57:58] Isn't it?

[00:57:59] I want to do that full time.

[00:58:00] I don't want to work.

[00:58:01] So maybe it's that I'm not raging

[00:58:03] that cuff is over.

[00:58:04] I'm raging that I have to work

[00:58:05] and I can't just watch movies

[00:58:06] for a living.

[00:58:07] That's my big part of the rage.

[00:58:09] But my second part of the rage

[00:58:11] is because I'm looking at

[00:58:13] what we're going to see

[00:58:14] this weekend.

[00:58:15] And the movies that

[00:58:17] we're going to get to see

[00:58:18] this coming weekend

[00:58:19] are all pretty mainstream

[00:58:21] cinemas.

[00:58:22] Four mainstream cinemas.

[00:58:24] And so ultimately I'm going,

[00:58:26] okay, we have had a great run

[00:58:28] of movies up until this point

[00:58:31] from one of our theaters

[00:58:33] that is closing.

[00:58:34] It is.

[00:58:35] And so this weekend

[00:58:36] they're only playing old shit

[00:58:37] to celebrate and bring

[00:58:39] people in on their last weekend.

[00:58:41] It's a giant party.

[00:58:43] But it's frightening me

[00:58:45] because this weekend

[00:58:47] we should have had some other

[00:58:48] releases that were art house

[00:58:50] films that we would probably

[00:58:51] have got to see

[00:58:53] in Eau Claire cinema.

[00:58:55] So ultimately my rage is

[00:58:57] I am afraid that we may not

[00:58:59] get to see the amount of

[00:59:01] art house films that we

[00:59:02] have been used to getting

[00:59:03] in our city.

[00:59:04] Doesn't someone have to pick up

[00:59:05] the baton?

[00:59:06] I would hope so.

[00:59:07] Some like one of the

[00:59:08] Cineplex theaters,

[00:59:09] maybe West Hills.

[00:59:10] I talked to some friends

[00:59:12] at the Globe.

[00:59:13] Maybe they'll be able

[00:59:14] to pick up some.

[00:59:15] That would be nice.

[00:59:16] And maybe the Plaza can too

[00:59:18] but yeah, I'm a little

[00:59:19] heartbroken.

[00:59:20] I'm going to say so if

[00:59:23] if you're hearing a lot of

[00:59:24] Rages from Bryce and I in

[00:59:26] the near future, it could be

[00:59:28] because all we're watching is

[00:59:29] mainstream cinemas.

[00:59:30] Just like oh great

[00:59:32] another superhero movie rage.

[00:59:34] Oh great another Liam

[00:59:36] Neeson movie rage.

[00:59:37] Oh no another Russell Crow

[00:59:39] movie.

[00:59:40] Oh that's a man

[00:59:41] because he's got in the

[00:59:42] scooter.

[00:59:43] I hope he does.

[00:59:44] I think he's got a sequel

[00:59:45] to his exorcist movie coming

[00:59:46] out.

[00:59:47] Yes.

[00:59:48] I'm hoping he's riding a

[00:59:49] scooter again.

[00:59:50] Wouldn't it be great if he was

[00:59:51] riding a scooter for half a

[00:59:52] minute?

[00:59:53] If you ride to scooter it's

[00:59:54] getting a mondo.

[00:59:55] I'm telling you right now.

[00:59:56] Totally.

[00:59:57] I don't care what the movies

[00:59:58] like.

[00:59:59] If I see Russell Crow on a

[01:00:00] scooter, it's mondo.

[01:00:01] It's mono.

[01:00:02] Yep.

[01:00:03] Ditto.

[01:00:04] I would go to those

[01:00:05] movies all day every day.

[01:00:06] All right.

[01:00:28] All right.

[01:00:29] My rage this week is

[01:00:30] the Calgary Underground

[01:00:31] Film Festival put two

[01:00:32] movies that I was most

[01:00:33] looking forward in the

[01:00:34] festival too.

[01:00:35] Head to head.

[01:00:36] So I could not see both.

[01:00:37] I guess that just shows you

[01:00:38] how strong the programming was

[01:00:39] this year as this was one of

[01:00:40] the best years for quality at

[01:00:41] cuff in quite a while.

[01:00:42] Still, come on.

[01:00:43] Why would you put hippo head to

[01:00:44] head with Yannick?

[01:00:45] It is obvious to me that

[01:00:46] these films would attract

[01:00:47] the same audience.

[01:00:48] So why make us choose?

[01:00:49] Oh well.

[01:00:50] Hopefully I'll get to see

[01:00:51] Yannick someday.

[01:00:52] We'll get to see it.

[01:00:53] Yeah.

[01:00:54] We'll watch it next

[01:00:55] weekend.

[01:00:56] You ride so hard he

[01:00:57] actually complained to the

[01:00:58] programmer.

[01:00:59] I did.

[01:01:00] About two out of the

[01:01:01] three.

[01:01:02] Got in his face.

[01:01:03] I guess that just shows

[01:01:04] you how strong the

[01:01:05] programming was this year

[01:01:06] two out of three.

[01:01:07] Two out of three.

[01:01:08] Yeah.

[01:01:09] I only saw the one.

[01:01:10] I got it.

[01:01:11] He's afraid of the head

[01:01:12] lead programmer.

[01:01:13] So yeah, you should be

[01:01:14] afraid of the lead programmer.

[01:01:16] They will destroy you.

[01:01:17] They will destroy you.

[01:01:18] They're like, oh you

[01:01:19] no more films for you.

[01:01:20] That's right.

[01:01:21] You're cut off.

[01:01:22] You're banned.

[01:01:23] You don't get to come

[01:01:24] to cuff anymore.

[01:01:25] Don't even get to

[01:01:26] bypass.

[01:01:27] That's right.

[01:01:28] Block.

[01:01:29] Chop chop.

[01:01:30] Exactly.

[01:01:31] Nice.

[01:01:32] So that's it.

[01:01:33] That was your.

[01:01:34] That's it.

[01:01:35] That's all.

[01:01:36] This is by far the best

[01:01:37] film festival we've ever seen.

[01:01:39] Yeah, I went to

[01:01:40] When he went to the

[01:01:41] trailer parties, he was

[01:01:42] like not looking for any of

[01:01:43] that.

[01:01:44] I was not looking

[01:01:45] forward to it.

[01:01:46] Any of them.

[01:01:47] It was

[01:01:48] It was the best show

[01:01:49] but you know

[01:01:50] you got to trust

[01:01:51] the people at Cuff.

[01:01:52] That's right.

[01:01:53] They know what the program

[01:01:54] is.

[01:01:55] Well this year, yeah.

[01:01:56] Every year.

[01:01:57] You guys say this

[01:01:58] every year.

[01:01:59] Rage.

[01:02:00] Subsiding.

[01:02:01] Plus.

[01:02:02] Slowing.

[01:02:04] Hinger.

[01:02:07] I'm pretty sure he said

[01:02:08] that same thing last year too.

[01:02:10] Best year ever.

[01:02:12] It probably was the best

[01:02:13] year.

[01:02:14] Now it's the best year.

[01:02:15] I'm going to go listen back

[01:02:16] to that one because I don't

[01:02:17] think we did.

[01:02:18] Well, just a reminder

[01:02:20] to everybody we're back

[01:02:21] in full force next week.

[01:02:23] We got Casey back.

[01:02:24] We got the list back.

[01:02:25] We got Bryce is going

[01:02:26] to be raging about

[01:02:27] something and you know

[01:02:29] what?

[01:02:30] Murray is not working

[01:02:31] so if someone can

[01:02:32] give him a job.

[01:02:33] Yes, I'll take a job.

[01:02:34] We can get him to come

[01:02:35] to the cinema with us.
