Episode 267 - Robot Family Values

[00:00:04] [SPEAKER_01]: It's time to feel the rage.

[00:00:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to Film Rage where we talk movies in theaters streaming and classic films as well.

[00:00:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Directors and actors beware as you cannot hide from the rage.

[00:00:17] [SPEAKER_01]: My name is Bryson, I'm part of the Film Rage crew which also includes Jim.

[00:00:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey there Jim.

[00:00:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey!

[00:00:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey!

[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Brass!

[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And also we have the Merman who's sporting a Huey Lewis in the news t-shirt.

[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Did you get that at a concert or did you buy that separately somewhere?

[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_01]: People actually buy that in a store?

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Can you go to like the Bay or something?

[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Or the Walmart or the...

[00:00:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I got this from Mr. Lewis himself.

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Mr. Lewis himself gave you that t-shirt.

[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_02]: At his concert.

[00:00:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_03]: That was like one of those guns, the t-shirt guns.

[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_02]: No, through the power of his vending or his merchandise table.

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Didn't he have the power of love on his side?

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought he had the power of love.

[00:01:05] [SPEAKER_04]: We can stand from above!

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_01]: No, that's the good power of love.

[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Whatever, just continue with your crap.

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_01]: You know Frankie says relax there Murray.

[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah well relax yourself there Bryson.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's get to raging!

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Bryce kiss distracted easily.

[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Much like that old couple he was dealing with today.

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah?

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Huh?

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Look, a castle.

[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_05]: What the amazing mama predictor.

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_05]: What the amazing mama predictor.

[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Will he predictor Rachel?

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_05]: He predictor Mundo?

[00:02:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Will he tell us all what Jim and Bryce are?

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_05]: The movie, better watch out kids, here he comes.

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_05]: He's coming swimming to you.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Swim, Murray, swim, Murray. Swim, Murray, swim. Swim, Murray, swim. Swim, Murray, swim.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Swim, Murray, swim all the way to our hearts. Well, they had a little thing called the Calgary

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_02]: National Film Festival this week. Yes. Somehow you guys found time to go to movies

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_03]: outside of that. We did? Because you know what? We've got the power of love.

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and this week I didn't watch any trailers. I'm just gonna wing it.

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Got the wild robot, which is another cartoon. It's a cartoon.

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It's an animated feature. Animated feature. Yes.

[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Except the exceptional transform unless it has robots. But this had robot.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Why didn't you go to this? It had plural robots. Some of them had red eyes.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Some of them did. Some of us didn't have a whole week off to do stuff. That's true.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a cartoon. Yep. But probably a well done one. Yeah, maybe. Let's say

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Bryce maybe gave it a man. And I think Jim, let's just throw it a Mando there.

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Except we have... I think you were probably half right. Probably or not right at all.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Again, don't really care. Well, I know he weren't right with me.

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Except we have my old ass. Behind. Which I was supposed to go to during the festival.

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Butt cakes. Don't get boat bone cakes. My girls got them.

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Big bottoms. How can I be this behind? Yes, she's like...

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Two movies this week and I apparently went to the wrong one.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_02]: We saw probably both. I think she might have been in all four.

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she might have been in all four. Maybe she was a voice too.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_03]: That's the only person working this week. I looked interesting.

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_02]: She was far, she's funny. I think I saw part of the trailer.

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's double mad at. Double mad? Alright.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Then we have Megalopolis. Megalopolis. 99% of the world calls it Megafelopolis.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_02]: What? If you guys don't give this a rage, I'll be very disappointed in you.

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Double rage. It depends if both of us saw all of it.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I saw all of it. You know what? I almost fell asleep.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_01]: It was middle of the day. You know, these nasty rumors of me falling asleep in like every movie.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: We've admitted it on numerous occasions. Yes, occasionally I might have a little snooze.

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm getting old. That's right, you are.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So it happens when you go to more than one movie a day. You should stop doing that.

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I fell asleep in the first movie though. I mean I didn't fall asleep.

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it wasn't the second movie like a 10 o'clock at night. That's a no-no for me.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I didn't sleep through it at all. I didn't sleep through by the way Megalopolis.

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I closed my eyes a couple of times but I did not sleep.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And did snore. So I didn't snore. Can you snore while you're awake?

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure. That is just a lie.

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And the last one was Lee which I believe was Kate Winslet.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It was. Seeing a real person.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. Getting naked. Yeah.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I like when she gets naked. She gets naked all the time and you must like all her movies.

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she's just like, okay, I'll only do this role if I can get naked.

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's right. Based on a real story.

[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_01]: All right, a couple nude season for you.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, okay, Winslet's pretty awesome. So let's throw out a double mondo there.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Double mondo? Oh.

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And my disclaimer, I don't care.

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we know you do.

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_03]: He cares at the top of his heart.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_03]: All right, so we got evil robots with red eyes again.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Right?

[00:06:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Taking over the world.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of.

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Well.

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna let you take the lead on.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Alrighty, sounds good.

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_03]: So let's talk about the wild robot.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_03]: The wild robot. I am doing the robot.

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Families, just in case everybody doesn't know, come in all shapes and sizes.

[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_03]: But in reality with humans, they also come in in the wild as well.

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And also with a robot.

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_03]: So we got robots and animals that create a family.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, wow.

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Also, we learned in this film, as I've already mentioned,

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_03]: that robots with red eyes are evil and blue eyes are good.

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_03]: That's true.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It must be a rule now.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_03]: That is.

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_03]: That is.

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Like isn't there like an Osmog theory of robots or something that somebody invented?

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_03]: That's a mob?

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, him.

[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_03]: That dude.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Did he make the rule about the red eyes?

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Osmog.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a mob.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, him.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Did you write about robots?

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_03]: He did something like that.

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, apparently if you've got red eyes, you're evil.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Which was predominant in this movie.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_03]: So in this particular family, it's primarily made up of a robot named Roz.

[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_03]: A fox named Fink and a little goose named Brightbill.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_03]: This cartoon does not hide the fact that animals eat each other and has possums

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_03]: that well play possum and have a fascination with death.

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_03]: The humor is funny.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_03]: The story is rich with lessons for the whole family to learn from and enjoy.

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And on top of that, a true test of a good cartoon.

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_03]: It had me bawling my eyes out a couple of times.

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Ultimately, the message is family is everything.

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And a tribe is a tribe that can come together when it's important.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Even if normally half the island tribe wants to eat the other half.

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel this is a story that both adults and kids will find entertaining and enjoyable.

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Although the amount of content dealing with death may be a little bit of a shock

[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_03]: for some of the parents, I think.

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but it shouldn't be.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_01]: There was a time in this world where, you know, like just watch Bambi,

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_01]: just what, you know, where death was acceptable to put into the movies.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And then all of a sudden they took it out completely, which is stupid.

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I agree.

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_03]: So it definitely had this dark humor that had me both laughing

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_03]: and enjoying this film immensely.

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I love this film.

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_03]: It was Mondo.

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the wild robot in its content is a bit of a throwback,

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_01]: but with some amazing animation.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is what, like, I'm pretty sure this is like computer-generated animation.

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_01]: But this is how it should look.

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Like there was a warmth to it.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't know that I've ever seen computer animation with this much warmth.

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_01]: The nature was amazing that was depicted in this.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_01]: The animals looked great.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_01]: This is maybe my favorite looking computer-generated animated movie ever,

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_01]: because it just looked so, so good.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, saying that, we've had in the last, I want to say, two years

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_03]: some amazing computer animated.

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Like the turtles was animated.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_03]: It was, and it had a, yeah, and it had a completely, it had a unique look.

[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_03]: And the Spider-Man 1.2.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Spider-Man also amazing animation.

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Wow, into the Spider-Verse hat, that had like 900 different types of animation.

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I know, but it still had a lot of computer-generated animation.

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_03]: So what I'm saying is I think computer-generated animation is getting better.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and they looked tremendous.

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_01]: But this one was like really beautiful.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, it's almost like an art piece.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And you know, we talked about flow, right?

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_03]: That the backgrounds in this would match the same level of quality of flow.

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_01]: They'd be better than flow in there.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I would say it's pretty comparable.

[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it would be pretty.

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_01]: The flow looked good, but this one-

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_03]: But this close up, the difference being is the close up animals in this one looked better.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_01]: They did indeed.

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, Lupita Nyong'o is Roz in this.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_01]: It's so funny because it's a robot and there's a bit of a coldness involved with being a robot

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_01]: and she somehow balanced that with being tremendously likable

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and tremendously warm at the same time.

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And it was in the wrong hands that voice work could have come across not anywhere near as well.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_01]: She was amazing in it.

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_03]: And even the little duck just starts talking robot because that's his mother.

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And the darkness, as you say, there's a lot of dark in this as well.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of just pitch black humor and it all just works so well.

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_01]: This was such a joy.

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that this is one of the top three animated movies of all time for me.

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I liked it that much.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_01]: This was Mondo and the funny thing is I saw another movie this week

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_01]: that would slide right into the top three animated movies of all time for me as well.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_01]: So my top three animated movies just got thrown on its ear

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_01]: because two of them just got slid in with in this last week.

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_01]: But the other one I'll be talking about later.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_01]: However, the Wild Robot is one of the best animated movies that I've ever seen in my life.

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I enjoyed every single second of it.

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I laughed.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm choking back the tears.

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_01]: There's everything in this movie.

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It was a ride and it was so, so, so amazing.

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I love, love, love The Wild Robot.

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's so good.

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And the music, Chris Bowers?

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_01]: How good was the music?

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Everything in this was just so good.

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_03]: There was nothing, nothing that I would have changed about this film.

[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what the other thing that I think about this?

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_01]: There's sometimes you'll watch an animated feature and you'll hear the voice actors

[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and they're going through the motions.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_01]: You could tell that all of these guys knew what they were making and they were

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_01]: bringing their A game every single person in this.

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_01]: The possums.

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_01]: You could tell how much everybody cared through their voice about this project.

[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, totally.

[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_04]: The possums to me were so good because they had seven possums and then one died

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_04]: and then I go, oh, you know that happens.

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_04]: The mother possums like, oh, that happens.

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_04]: And then it comes back.

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_04]: He's like, I'm okay.

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_04]: She's like, oh great.

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_04]: It was so good.

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_04]: You just wanting your baby to die?

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Unless she's got six, you know.

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_01]: This movie was so, so good.

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, and I can't remember who Aubrey Plaza played in it, but I'm sure she was great.

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure she was great.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_01]: She was in everything this week.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, of course, everything.

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_03]: But the one she was mostly in, well, maybe not mostly.

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, mostly.

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Probably mostly.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Probably not.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_03]: It's close.

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Pretty close because the other one was like 17 hours long.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_01]: So she had a bit part, but it was 17 hours.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_01]: So she might have been in for about the same amount.

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly.

[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_03]: So my old ass.

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_03]: So first off, right away, it's refreshing to see a Canadian coming of age shot and filmed

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_03]: and that takes place in Canada where they're using Canadian currency.

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Just want to put that out there.

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what?

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Because it's okay to be Canadian and it's okay to have a movie about Canadians coming of age.

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Pretty sure she's not paying American though.

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe.

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_03]: So a young 18 year old is spending her last couple of weeks before going to university,

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_03]: living her best lesbian life with her two best friends.

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_03]: But she soon realizes that maybe she's not gay.

[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_03]: What?

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_03]: On top of that, she starts talking to her old ass self who's 20 years older than her

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_03]: who happens to be Aubrey Plaza.

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And she does this through doing mushrooms for the first time.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Apparently if you do mushrooms and have a bad trip, you might have your future self appear

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_03]: and start talking to you.

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe.

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I never had a bad trip on mushrooms.

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_03]: So I wouldn't know.

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Her old ass self again, played by the wonderful Aubrey Plaza,

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_03]: reminds her how important family is, how she should enjoy this time she has,

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_03]: and make a few predictions for what is going to happen in her life.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Of course, like most 18 year old selves, she does some of them things but not others.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Ultimately both young and old asses learn from each other and realize that no matter

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_03]: how short of a time you have with people that love you, that that time is worth it

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_03]: no matter how much time you have with them.

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_03]: It's cute and heartwarming and has this quirky sci-fi future mushroom thingy that

[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_03]: sure is kind of dumb and also that wouldn't want, I mean but who wouldn't want to

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_03]: you know talk to yourself or either as the young version of yourself or the old version of

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_03]: yourself and of course gets to kiss yourself to see if you're a good kisser.

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Me personally, I might want to find out other things as I explore my body be a younger old

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_03]: but that's me I'm not saying.

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I liked it a lot.

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_03]: It didn't start out really liking it but as the story unfolded I liked it more and more.

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_03]: It was math for me.

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I liked it.

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_06]: All right.

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, the good things about my old ass

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Maisie Stella as Ellie as young Elliott.

[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I said ass.

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Maisie Stella as young Elliott.

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I do believe has star potential.

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_01]: She is very good in this.

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, she's great.

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Percy Hines White as Chad might be like the most likable character that's ever been put on

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_01]: film but how could you not fall in love with this guy?

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was kind of odd the turn that it took

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_01]: having someone that's so sure that she's a lesbian and then all of a sudden falls for a dude.

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_01]: It was kind of that was kind of a weird story.

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, maybe all the dudes because she lives in a small town.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe all the dudes that she's met maybe does nothing for her.

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe in the military.

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I like the fact that they didn't try to explain the way the science fictiony part of it.

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_01]: It just was there.

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I would like to call each other on cell phones.

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_01]: You just got to go with it.

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Except what you've got.

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_01]: They didn't try to explain it at all.

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It makes absolutely no sense and it didn't end up mattering the way it was shot.

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And you just like, all right, we'll go with it.

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_01]: It was okay.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It was just kind of a weird movie.

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: It is but it had such good performances and it had such likeable characters.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_03]: And the message I thought was really kind of good.

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_01]: The message was weird.

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_03]: It was good like it to me.

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because you know this is a girl that you know on her birthday where her whole family's

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_03]: waiting for her to go home and celebrate her birthday with her.

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_03]: They got a cake and her little brother made a cake and she's off doing mushrooms with

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_03]: her friends.

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's like doesn't even answer the mom.

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_03]: So they really didn't know.

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_03]: No.

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_02]: They really 16 candles.

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_03]: It's exactly like it's like 16 candles.

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you know it was a love story.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's a little bit more like past lives.

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:19:24] No.

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_04]: So literally there is some past lives going on in it.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_04]: But so no, but it's like past lives.

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Murray, don't you know that?

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Every all love stories are like past lives.

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_03]: We've already discussed this.

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_03]: But no, so the real true message was that no matter what the people that are

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_03]: important in your life, you've got to let them know that they're important in your

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_03]: life and don't forget about it.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_03]: So so the message came through loud and clear and and and also I don't want to

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_03]: give any spoilers in this because there is there is there's a little bit could be

[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_03]: had.

[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think it's worth seeing this movie on it.

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, I didn't know where it was going and it did actually sneak up

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_01]: on me because you're almost like basically, you know, her old self

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_01]: tells her that she has to avoid this one guy and he's and doesn't say why.

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And man, he is unavoidable.

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's no way that she's so awesome because he's so awesome.

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I want to date him.

[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_01]: There's like nothing wrong with this guy like nothing.

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_03]: He's completely dateable by everybody.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's it is a it is a it's different.

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_01]: It's different.

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_03]: It's different.

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_03]: But that's what I like to so much about it because the characters are great.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_03]: The story is heartwarming and you get an old ass and a young ass.

[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It's really I thought the two leads were very good.

[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not considering Aubrey Plaza lead in this.

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_01]: She's no she's a bit of a side character, but Maisie Stella and Percy

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Heinz White both have skies the limit for both of them.

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_01]: They're both they're both very good.

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_03]: And we've seen them before and it was it was me.

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's a double mammur double mammur mammur mammur mammur.

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_03]: So one movie that Bryce and I didn't see because it wasn't out anywhere.

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_03]: It was only playing in two.

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Two times in the entire week.

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Let me tell you a story about a man named jet because this is all I got poor

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Mountaineer barely kept his family fed while I was working at the food.

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_01]: All right, when up from the ground came a bubble in cream oil that is Texas tea.

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_02]: OK, so I was working at the festival.

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, one of our patrons who was going to one of the movies.

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, mentioned that this had come out and it was to me because I didn't hear anything about it.

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And then he I looked on it was in playing in one theater in the entire city

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_02]: and it had two showings for the entire week.

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_02]: One was on Saturday afternoon, which I was already at the festival, so I couldn't do

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_02]: anything.

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_02]: The other one was on a Wednesday night.

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_02]: So I had to cancel a ticket for a previous

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_02]: SIFT movie I was going to go to.

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yes.

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Which you guys saw.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_02]: To go all the way to the north end of the city to see this movie.

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_02]: This was after my regular shift during the day.

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it was quite a trek to get there.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And I believe you challenged me to find out how many people actually went to this.

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Sold out.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_03]: What?

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Not just that, but the ticket that I purchased was the one I usually purchase,

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_02]: which is in the handicapped.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_02]: When you first come in.

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_02]: They had to move you?

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I moved on my own.

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I had a physical ticket right in the middle of the aisle, not next to the,

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, the we call companion seat or whatever.

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It was right in the middle.

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And right before it started, this whole family showed up with their dad who was in the wheelchair.

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And they were like sitting around me and there was like one person who was still standing.

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_02]: So they bought it.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_02]: They didn't buy enough tickets for that row.

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_02]: So I actually moved like two rows up, but yeah, it was almost sold out.

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, there was quite a few handicapped people there.

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So obviously.

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, did we even say what the movie was?

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, sorry.

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_02]: It is super slash man, the Christopher Reeve story.

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_03]: There you go.

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Which I believe is coming out on, I don't know,

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_02]: prime or Netflix or something.

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Some kind of streaming service.

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, yes, it actually, I didn't see it in the theater.

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And because I'm a huge fan of his, I went to it in the middle of the festival.

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, look, I was seven years old when this movie came out.

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_04]: You mean super Superman?

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: The original Superman.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I was seven.

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_02]: So seven year old me seeing my favorite superhero of all time.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, even more than Deadpool.

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_02]: See a man fly.

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_02]: That that was it.

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And you know, Gene Hackman and Margot Kidder.

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that was the movie for me.

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, granted, Christopher Reeve didn't have that

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_02]: creative career after the Superman's.

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Probably do the last one that he did.

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_02]: But he had a decent career and he directed stuff and he did some serious stuff.

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And not only that, he was like the best friend of Robin Williams.

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Like those two were inseparable.

[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Their families, I don't look together all the time.

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So and the story is tragic.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I saw the footage.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_02]: He's just horseback riding doing the equestrian thing.

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, so they actually showed the actual action.

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Didn't look that bad.

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't like going fast.

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_02]: He wasn't racing around a track.

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_02]: He was doing the show jumping thing and all of a sudden the horse just stopped

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_02]: and he went forward.

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it kind of shows it in the trailer.

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, he became quadriplegic after that.

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_02]: He had no feeling below his neck.

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And he used that to basically raise awareness and money for handicap people across North America.

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And then his wife also helped him with that.

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_02]: She died like five years after him of cancer.

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, tragic story for the whole family.

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_02]: But their foundation is raised hundreds and hundreds of millions.

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And awareness for people with disabilities.

[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, absolutely.

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a mondo, but you guys probably wouldn't have liked it because yeah,

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you have to really.

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Did we tell you how much we liked the Celine Dion documentary?

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you know how much I dislike Celine Dion?

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, there you go.

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_01]: But the documentary was tremendous.

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it had its slow parts.

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, because yeah, it showed a lot of his post accident stuff as opposed to his

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_02]: accident stuff.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_02]: But I mean.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_03]: So it seems like it was more about his journey after the accident.

[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_03]: His journey after the accident.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And it had his kids.

[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_02]: He had two kids from the first marriage and then he had his youngest one who

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_02]: was like when he had the accident, he was like 12.

[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_02]: He passed away.

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And he's actually some kind of, he's like, well, no, he's like a popular or famous

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_02]: journalist in America.

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_02]: It looks just like him.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Just like Christopher.

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Never heard of him.

[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Because he was Will.

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_02]: He's he does, I don't know,

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_02]: nightly news or something like that.

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what he does.

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_02]: But anyway.

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_01]: All righty.

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, and they also are still,

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_02]: the foundation is still around raising money.

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I loved it.

[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_02]: It was awesome.

[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, it just affected it only ran twice in the whole week.

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if it's going to be coming back at all.

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, it sounds.

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, maybe sometimes they do that.

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_03]: But no, I really enjoy this special ahead time.

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_03]: But it sounds like it's probably going to come straight to streaming here.

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Probably straight to streaming.

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I loved it.

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_03]: No, good.

[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_03]: That's good.

[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Now when it comes out, we'll watch it and we'll let you know.

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_03]: So make a little, make a little populous, make a, make a pop,

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_03]: pop,

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_03]: circle,

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_03]: make a popsicle,

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_01]: make a lot.

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Make a lot.

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_03]: You want me to start?

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_03]: So, or as Murray has already mentioned,

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_03]: or better yet, it's not mega-lopoulos.

[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_03]: It should be called mega-flopulous.

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, what it was.

[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_03]: A little influenced by Marcus Aurelius, Shakespeare,

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_03]: and the US political arena all tied into a fantasy sci-fi film that has some amazing

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_03]: visuals and a lot of rich opulence built in greed and power, except for one man, Caesar,

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_03]: played by Adam Driver, whose vision is timeless and fantasy-ridden and also convoluted and over

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_03]: the top.

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Where a lot of the dialogue is delivered in this style of choppy 1930s style delivery

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_03]: that feels unnatural, just like most of this story.

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_03]: There is some creative work done in this film somewhere, but for the most part,

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I could care less about every single thing that was happening.

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I like that Francis Ford stretched some boundaries in the film,

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_03]: but I did not like this movie at all.

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I've got lots to unpack, but this was a huge rage for me.

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_03]: I really hated this film as I tried hard.

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_03]: And it was like two and a half hours long.

[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I tried hard to like things in it.

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_03]: It's got Adam Driver in it.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And Adam Driver is Adam Driver in it.

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And Aubrey Plaza is Aubrey Plaza, but I got so much more to unpack,

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_03]: but I kind of want to hear what you guys think of it.

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_01]: What'd you think, Murr?

[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I did go to this one on cheap Tuesday.

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Thankfully, it only cost me $8 to see it because I wouldn't have paid a penny more.

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_02]: To borrow some colorful language from my buddy Jim,

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_02]: what the fuck was that?

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Seriously, I have no idea what this film was supposed to be.

[00:28:50] [SPEAKER_02]: The latest and probably last film ever by Francis Ford Coppola

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_02]: was a glorious train wreck of a film with a star studded cast and extremely confusing plot.

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I get that it was supposed to be a modern retelling of the Roman Empire and its downfall,

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_02]: but Coppola also threw a lot of Shakespeare in there just for good measure.

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_02]: We even had a Shia LaBuff sighting, whose batshit crazy, but it works for him in this case.

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And what the hell was going on with that whole stopping time thing?

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It was the only thing sci-fi about it, otherwise it's just a basic city of the future.

[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, he just can stop time whenever he wants.

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Like what the hell?

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, this train wreck of a film flies off the rails, crashes and sets itself on fire.

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes it does.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_02]: It's so bad it's almost brilliant.

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Unfortunately, all the pretty pictures don't amount to a good story.

[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_02]: But hey, Coppola sold off his vineyards and who knows what else

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_02]: to fund this box office flop himself.

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_02]: It cost $125 million to make and barely made $6 million over the weekend.

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Art costs sometimes.

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think he'll be doing that again.

[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Such a tremendous rage.

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God, it was so bad.

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, Francis Ford Coppola, he was swinging for the fences here.

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_01]: The problem was is that you're watching the movie and there's no cohesiveness at all.

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's hard to get around the fact that something will happen

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_01]: and then there's like absolutely no payoff.

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_01]: They'll talk about a riot, but then there's no riot.

[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_01]: They'll have a, what was it, like a meteor or something hit and then nothing comes of it.

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_01]: What was a Russian satellite?

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Was it?

[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Whatever the heck it was.

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_03]: You fell asleep through the pipe while it was crashing.

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I know, I watched it.

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_01]: What are you talking about?

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_01]: At any rate, there were so many things in this that led nowhere.

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And there would be a scene that was finally, there'd be a scene that was okay.

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_01]: But then something that should have been a five minute scene stretches out to 12 minutes.

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's like, if you would have just had this as a five minute scene,

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_01]: it would have been that scene at least would have been okay.

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_01]: This is overindulgent, bloated like you wouldn't believe.

[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And just not enjoyable.

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_01]: There's got to be some level where at some point I'll,

[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I am going to watch this again someday because I know there's stuff I'm missing.

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_01]: You're telling me that I slept through some of it.

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_01]: So apparently there's more than I think.

[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh yeah, yeah, you missed some.

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_04]: It wasn't anything you really missed at any rate.

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I went to the bathroom during the whole Madison Square Garden orgies.

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It was, it was hard to wrap my brain around there.

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And here's the kicker.

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_01]: It should have looked better too.

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_01]: It didn't even look that good to me.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I didn't think it was a good looking film either.

[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_03]: There was some good looking things in it, but overall nothing looked good for me.

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_01]: The images were not enthralling at all.

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_01]: So this was a rage with an asterisk because I feel I need to watch it again

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_01]: and I need to really sit there and maybe watch it twice more.

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_01]: In the next five years, I'm going to watch this two more times.

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_01]: And then I'm going to give my final rating on it.

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Five years from now.

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Put it on your calendar people.

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, but as of right now, as of today,

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Megalopolis is a rage.

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it is.

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a rage that I'm curious to see if it may be going to be better the more I watch it.

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it will.

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it might be.

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I, you know, good luck to you is what I would say.

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_03]: There's too many good movies that are still coming out that I want to see.

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_01]: It's such a strange movie though because I guarantee that

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_01]: the ridiculous acting of some of the characters

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_01]: was there because Francis Ford Coppola wanted it that way.

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, 100%.

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_03]: It's actually very attentional.

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes it's distracting though sometimes.

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_01]: It is.

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_03]: It was distracting the whole movie because it wasn't consistent.

[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_03]: There was no consistency to the whole film.

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Dustin Hoffman for like five minutes.

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_01]: That was a godsend really.

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_01]: So less Dustin Hoffman these days is good.

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_03]: So okay, let me tell you a few of the things.

[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_03]: First off Natalie Emmanuel was horrible in this.

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Like she's almost unwatchable in this.

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_03]: How she made it as the main lead opposite Adam Dryrad.

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_03]: She was a game of thrones.

[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_01]: The only person that was any good in this in my opinion was Giancarlo Esposito.

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_01]: The only person that was any good in this as Mayor Franklin Cesaro.

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean he's good.

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_03]: No, no.

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_03]: What's her name?

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_03]: His wife was in it too.

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_03]: She's all.

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah.

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_03]: She was good.

[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Catherine Hunter, Teresa Cesaro.

[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_01]: She's really.

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Catherine Hunter.

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_02]: The other one.

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what that is.

[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay so I had to get that on my chest.

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_03]: You are correct.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_03]: You are correct.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_01]: She was good as well.

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_01]: But she has been in not very much.

[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And did anybody notice how much we got Morpheus in this too?

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_03]: So they did not only did they throw Shakespeare and Mark Antony and Marcus Aurelius.

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_03]: And everybody was in it.

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And we had Morpheus in it.

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_01]: We had Morpheus in it.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I get all the references.

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_01]: We got a ton of them.

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_01]: It's ridiculous.

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Plus there's like 7,000 characters.

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_01]: But every actor in this movie was putting in a performance that was in a different movie.

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Like none of them seemed to be in the same movie with the level or what was asked of them.

[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_01]: They were all in different movies.

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Within the same scene they're in different movies.

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just so weird.

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah and like you get a change.

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's why maybe I need to watch it again.

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Because maybe I'm not appreciating exactly what Francis Ford Coppall was trying to do here.

[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Every like 10 minutes you can actually figure out what just happened.

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no.

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I need to watch it again.

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no cohesiveness.

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_03]: And then you get people like James Reimar and Jason Swartzman that are in this.

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Well that was just a waste.

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah they were so was Reimar.

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Reimar why are they in it?

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_03]: You don't even know why they're in it.

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just they bloated this whole character.

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's like nobody had any real purpose in the movie.

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah it was it was a mess.

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_03]: But the best you know only good thing about this movie.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay go ahead.

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Is they ended the song with the Dada song.

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I like by the way the only good thing about this movie was the end.

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Is the Dada singing at the end.

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Well I actually liked the I liked the last I like the last the ending.

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_01]: The song.

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I did like that.

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay the song was fine but I liked the ending of the movie.

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what I liked about the ending?

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_03]: The song.

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I meant it was over.

[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_03]: And to Murray's point it was finally fucking over.

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah well after two hours and twenty twenty seven.

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_01]: For the story they were telling that when you break it down is not complicated at all.

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_01]: It is this is one of the most simple stories it's ever been told or they stretched it out or retold.

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Retold again.

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_02]: It became a hamlet.

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Two hours and twenty minutes was far too long to tell this very simple story.

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_03]: This real simple Shakespeare ripoff.

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah but hey did you ever think you'd have a character named Wow Platinum.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Wow Platinum.

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what I didn't.

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what I wish that was in one of Coppola's other films that he made.

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know which one.

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyways this was a rage.

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_01]: For now.

[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah for now.

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be that way forever.

[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_01]: For now.

[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Because this movie is horrible.

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_01]: For now.

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh right Lee.

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Lee.

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Harvey Oswald.

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow it's the other Lee.

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Lee Miller.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Other Lee.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Lee Miller.

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Who's Lee Miller.

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Lee Miller was a strong independent and very prominent woman who made a name for herself as a model

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_03]: and then more importantly a war photographer.

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_01]: She kind of sounds like me.

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah exactly.

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_03]: This film mostly yeah and then.

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_03]: And being a woman and a model.

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And being a woman and a model.

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_01]: But other than that.

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just like past lives.

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like Bryce is.

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah so this film mostly covers her time covering the Second World War

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_03]: where she is probably the only woman correspondence and photographer that ever covered the Second World War.

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_03]: And it kind of starts out a little slow and seems just like other biopics where it's an easy breezy story

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_03]: where you know she likes to go topless and hang out with her girlfriends.

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_03]: They seem to have this wild and crazy life living in Paris and hanging out and

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_03]: you know just letting her girls hang out everywhere.

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what I'm saying?

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Easy and breezy in the sun.

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what I'm saying right?

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I know exactly what you're saying.

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah she likes to show her tits off.

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_03]: So but also it showed us how she was a spitfire of a person and also we get Andy Samburg

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_03]: in what I think is his first real dramatic role.

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_03]: And of course the third best scars guards into this which he also did fairly well in this.

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Kate Winsler is brilliant as is Samburg in this as the team of photographers who go from

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_03]: happy-go-lucky biopic to traumatizing war crime retelling biopic.

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I really was captivated by this woman's story but it was a biopic and had the usual convenient

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_03]: things put in obvious order and obviously in places to help drive this story.

[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I really enjoyed it though.

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I just as the film progressed it got darker and deeper and richer and she just became

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_03]: much so much more better and there's a scene with her and Samburg in it which is just

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_03]: both of them were knocked out of the park.

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_03]: It was meh and I got, I just want to now see the doc about this.

[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Like why do we not know more about this woman?

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah well sad that she did these amazing things taking pictures that in retrospect and in hindsight

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_03]: now were better than anything that came out of the Second World War.

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_02]: A while ago dude.

[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah yeah but she goes to Vogue's dime and then in British Vogue doesn't produce it because

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_03]: it's too controversial so they send her pictures to Yankeeland Vogue and I guess they produce some

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_03]: of them but not all of them but now you can buy her book so I'm gonna buy her yeah I'm gonna

[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_03]: buy her war photos you can buy it's I think it's like 50 bucks on Amazon so I'll be picking that out.

[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah Lee was a biopic and it wasn't any different than other biopics kind of took a moment in time

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_01]: and went into detail but in this case it was a very very interesting subject.

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Lee Miller was a pioneer.

[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_01]: She was a very powerful strong-willed woman that you know was gonna get it done no matter what

[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_01]: and she was played very well by Kate Winslet.

[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Winslet seems to do no wrong when it comes to her portrayal of anybody.

[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_01]: She is one of the better actresses working today really.

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Andy Samberg was just it was so refreshing to see him in a dramatic role it's something that I honestly

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_01]: didn't think that I'd ever see yeah I don't know why I didn't think but you know because you

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_01]: think Andy Samberg he's a hot rod. Yeah no one can hot rod like he can but you know now he's

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_01]: in this movie yeah it's so good yeah um andry andry rise bro as her editor in the

[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_01]: of the vogue magazine was just so good in this as well this is a really well-acted movie

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_01]: what are you doing there baxter we've got an earthquake going on is eating your music my dog

[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_01]: is eating or my music right now that's not cool we've talked about this I'm not sure that he

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_01]: understands no he doesn't back to Lee um it was a biopic though and it was it it probably ran a

[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_01]: little too long for my liking uh it was math but performances are great that the subject was

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_01]: very very interesting the there are some heartbreaking scenes the ending but with

[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_01]: a little sort of twist that they decided to do I kind of liked it I was okay with it and

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_01]: it I I kind of predicted it a little bit before it happened but honestly I didn't predict it until

[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah very very late yeah yeah me so it was well done and it made sense and I I was fine with it

[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah it was it was kind of a cool way to kind of tie things up at the end too you know I did

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah it was math it was it was good movie I would say it's that people should see this

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_01]: people should absolutely see it and if you know nothing about Lee Miller it's a good introduction

[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and then if you want to learn more after that you know you've got your gateway to it yeah by her books

[00:43:00] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah all right well we uh decided not to have another uh special episode for sif

[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_03]: because we're just gonna talk about our top three films of sif so you can look at siftcalgary.ca

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_03]: just to see what they played at the festival and check it out um now there is one film from me

[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_03]: and I think one film from you that came from the second half of sift that's made it in my top three

[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_03]: uh yeah I think one and I know one of our films is gonna match but two are not going to match

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_03]: probably not so I'll I'll do my three first um so I'm going in least favorite to favorite film

[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_03]: just so you know okay so of my top three films my least favorite film was grand theft hamlet

[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_03]: um to me was the most creative thing to come out of the pandemic also one of the most creative

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_03]: uh documentaries that I've ever seen made ever so for the creativity alone grand theft

[00:44:21] [SPEAKER_03]: hamlet makes it into my top three um my number two which was a surprise to me because if someone

[00:44:28] [SPEAKER_03]: told me a I'd have another zombie film and of course I love zombie films but you know I'm I feel

[00:44:36] [SPEAKER_03]: that most zombie films have been done to death and so there's nothing new in that particular

[00:44:43] [SPEAKER_03]: in that particular space anymore but par parvulas there are two things constant in this world

[00:44:51] [SPEAKER_03]: family and change nothing else matters and this film is all about that shot beautifully in black

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_03]: and white and muted colors with gore and murder and just like they say it's all about the family

[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_03]: all about in this case it was a hundred percent all about the family they had things in this

[00:45:12] [SPEAKER_03]: that I've never seen zombie films before the way this is shot is so so so brilliantly shot

[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I loved every frame of this film I just the creativity that's this director had for horror

[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_03]: is um is outstanding and my number one favorite film still made it to number one through the

[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_03]: beginning of the festival is my favorite cake uh an aging widow that's not afraid to stick up

[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_03]: for herself and say what's right who falls in love after 30 years this completely made me smile

[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_03]: through this entire movie and there's a lot of things that happen as this completely changes

[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_03]: as the film moves on but one thing is kind of the message we got from my old ass too which is

[00:46:05] [SPEAKER_03]: that you know what if you have a great love of your life even if it's for a short moment in time

[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_03]: that moment is worth everything yeah yeah very nice so that's my top three

[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_03]: what are my top three I don't know Merd you know what your top three are

[00:46:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I saw absolutely nothing the last no no but what did you see for the whole festival what was

[00:46:36] [SPEAKER_02]: your top festival hasn't really changed much all right so your top three still unstoppable

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_02]: yep a different man and bumping off the secret mall apartment in number three nice whoa parvula

[00:49:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Adam Elliot this guy makes such good movies both mary and max and memoir of a snail are among the

[00:49:12] [SPEAKER_01]: best animated features ever made go watch them both do a double feature if you can you will

[00:49:20] [SPEAKER_01]: absolutely adore these movies there is no way to not adore the not just the story not just that

[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_01]: absolute joy that they bring but the animation is so amazing you'll stop animation stop yeah

[00:49:45] [SPEAKER_01]: this and number one of course is my favorite cake and you've gushed about it enough for both of us

[00:49:50] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah but my favorite cake has one it's one of the most bitter sweet movies ever made

[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and even though a tragedy happens you'll never feel so good yeah at the end of a movie yeah

[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_01]: it's just an amazing feat amazing actors just making magic on the screen absolute magic yeah

[00:50:12] [SPEAKER_03]: love my favorite cake the joy the joy that I you know I'm I guess I'm speaking for you too a little

[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_03]: bit too but the joy I had through watching this movie yeah it comes from how strong and amazing

[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_03]: this woman is yeah and how she carries herself through the movie and as she starts things start

[00:50:35] [SPEAKER_03]: happen to her that are so great and positive you're just caught up with this pure joy in your

[00:50:42] [SPEAKER_03]: as you're watching it and so I remember before it gets to the the final act I'm like it does

[00:50:50] [SPEAKER_03]: you know I don't even care how this movie ends right now because I'm like I have so much joy

[00:50:56] [SPEAKER_03]: from this movie that nothing could change it and then it goes and it has a huge right turn

[00:51:02] [SPEAKER_04]: in this film that you know what it it even made the movie better because I didn't expect it coming

[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and kudos to the to the jury of Calgary International Film Festival because they actually got it right

[00:51:14] [SPEAKER_01]: they gave they gave this movie the grand jury prize nice it was the winner no okay when was the

[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_03]: last time you and I and and other critics agree on this off not too often and especially

[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_01]: especially when it comes to our local film festivals I mean they program them brilliantly

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_01]: but man do they pick the wrong movies when it comes to their best of the fast

[00:51:37] [SPEAKER_03]: this time they got it right but it was that he was actually the jury right it wasn't the

[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_03]: programmers yeah well and it's also not the audience right because that's another thing that

[00:51:47] [SPEAKER_03]: while the audience is is like the audience award at film festivals are basic don't even pay

[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_02]: attention to it because it's yeah because usually it's a local movie that that the

[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_01]: audience is loaded with the with the family and friends and the crew

[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_02]: and the actors so it gets gets 305 so of course it's gonna win except if we go to it

[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_01]: and then we bring it down I bring it down I must admit that happened once the to festival and

[00:52:14] [SPEAKER_03]: it might have gotten a one out of five from me yep possibly yes as well but overall the

[00:52:20] [SPEAKER_01]: festival was tremendous this year what a what a whole lot of good movies yeah holy sifted a

[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_04]: addition blurring rage taking over

[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_03]: my rage this week isn't film related oh no yeah it's usually always film related for me

[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_03]: but most of the um most of the uh things that happened this week you know i'm uh

[00:56:33] [SPEAKER_03]: simply exhausted from the amount of time we had with uh film festival and i also worked

[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_03]: trade show and a bunch of stuff but my my rage this week is actually as we get closer to winter

[00:56:48] [SPEAKER_03]: in canada the amount of people back on the roads now is what's causing me to rage

[00:56:56] [SPEAKER_03]: it's like on the road yeah they're all no but the holidays are done and all the kids are back

[00:57:02] [SPEAKER_03]: in school and now everybody's starting to work in the downtown core again which is causing my

[00:57:09] [SPEAKER_02]: commute to be longer that's my rage same rage i have for all the kids the kids are back in school

[00:57:19] [SPEAKER_02]: now so basically my neighborhood has been like overwhelmed by teenagers in all the you know

[00:57:27] [SPEAKER_02]: the restaurants and everything else they just they're there all the time like they don't even

[00:57:31] [SPEAKER_03]: they're the worst yeah yeah it's a bit of a lame rage but i'm too exhausted to

[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_03]: come up with anything else yeah at least it's not as bad as brice's rages most times so what are

[00:57:45] [SPEAKER_01]: you talking about my ranges are primo oh yeah right primo rage

[00:58:05] [SPEAKER_00]: right

[00:58:05] [SPEAKER_00]: right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right

[00:58:11] [SPEAKER_01]: all right so you're gonna have to you have to stay with me here all right this is because initially

[00:58:19] [SPEAKER_01]: you're going to say well why is that your rage i'm already thinking it'll flex again no so here's

[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_01]: my rage are you ready once upon a time you're all ready for this bye bye bye

[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_01]: my rage is that wolves did not get released yes in theaters yes now don't get me wrong

[00:58:41] [SPEAKER_01]: i was not looking forward to wolf's i was in in no way am i saying that my rage is because i

[00:58:48] [SPEAKER_01]: don't get to watch wolf's on the big screen what i am saying is the fact that another movie

[00:58:55] [SPEAKER_01]: rather than them releasing it in theaters they've decided that it's better to just go straight

[00:59:01] [SPEAKER_01]: to streaming that is a trend that's happening with apple that is a trend that's now happening

[00:59:08] [SPEAKER_01]: with netflix when remember there was a series of of movies or a series of months in a row where

[00:59:15] [SPEAKER_01]: we got two or three netflix movies a month easily yep we haven't seen a netflix movie in a long time

[00:59:23] [SPEAKER_01]: we're not seeing any apple movies now on the big screen either they've got some programs for the

[00:59:28] [SPEAKER_01]: new year yeah do they yeah they do well wolf's was supposed to come out as well and it's got

[00:59:33] [SPEAKER_01]: two big stars in it yeah if they pull if they pull that movie from theaters and say it's not

[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_01]: even worth releasing in theaters we're in trouble at the movie theaters because netflix and apple

[00:59:47] [SPEAKER_01]: have become rather large in their producing of films and if those two are going to say are

[00:59:53] [SPEAKER_01]: throwing their hands up and saying yeah we're not even going to bother that's a problem for

[00:59:58] [SPEAKER_01]: cinema so that is my rage that wolf's i actually forgot i get released in cinemas thing is they

[01:00:08] [SPEAKER_01]: showed trailers for it in the theater they've been pumping the tires on this movie for like four

[01:00:12] [SPEAKER_02]: months murray yeah i know yeah it was the last minute it was the last minute it was going to be huge

[01:00:17] [SPEAKER_02]: and not even a release date in the theater yeah just all of a sudden i see it that it's on apple

[01:00:23] [SPEAKER_01]: plus i'm like what happened here's boy so then i literally went online to go to go find like when

[01:00:29] [SPEAKER_01]: did i miss it yeah because how did we miss that it at least get released in the us somewhere

[01:00:33] [SPEAKER_01]: i have no idea yes it did have sure and i'm sure i'm released somewhere in la i'm sure it got

[01:00:39] [SPEAKER_01]: released in new york and la in three movie theaters yeah and it probably got no one come to it yeah

[01:00:44] [SPEAKER_01]: i don't know but pretty good draws at the end of the day i'm just i sadden me it doesn't matter

[01:00:50] [SPEAKER_01]: the movie looks horrible that that a movie of this scope with this so much star power behind it

[01:00:55] [SPEAKER_01]: and they decide we're not even going to put it in theaters that is that is another

[01:00:59] [SPEAKER_01]: nail in the coffin of cinemas and it makes me very very angry yeah yeah that's a that's a

[01:01:05] [SPEAKER_02]: that's a good rage that's a good rage is for once that's right thank you you knocked it out of the
