Episode 278 - Snowball

[00:00:04] It's time to feel the rage! Welcome to Film Rage where we talk movies in theaters, streaming and classic films as well. Directors and actors beware as you cannot hide from the rage. My name is Bryson, I'm part of the Film Rage crew which also includes Jim. Hey there Jim.

[00:00:23] Hey hey Bryce.

[00:00:25] And also we have the Merman.

[00:00:27] Yo.

[00:00:29] How are you doing Murr?

[00:00:31] I'm okay. It's cold as shit out there. I didn't want to count the...

[00:00:34] It's not nice out there.

[00:00:35] No it's not.

[00:00:35] It's cold and it's got that dampness to it. It's just, it gets in the bones. I don't like it.

[00:00:41] My balls are inside my body right now.

[00:00:42] Yeah, I'm here.

[00:01:22] Okay.

[00:01:31] Okay.

[00:01:31] Bumperdict, what an amazing bumperdict, what a pridict, what a pridict, H-O-Y, you pridict the mundo.

[00:01:38] Bryce is falling off his wheel to throw.

[00:01:42] Comes now, better watch out kids.

[00:01:46] He's coming, swamming to you.

[00:01:50] Murry swim, yeah.

[00:01:52] Swimmery swim.

[00:01:54] Swimmery swim.

[00:01:54] Swimmery swim.

[00:01:56] Swimmery swim.

[00:01:58] Swim all the way to our little Krampus Christmas hearts.

[00:02:03] Yeah.

[00:02:05] Yeah.

[00:02:06] Yeah.

[00:02:07] Yeah.

[00:02:07] So, actual short, rather light week for you guys.

[00:02:12] It's a light week, yeah!

[00:02:13] Mm-hmm.

[00:02:13] You can't find my balls!

[00:02:14] Couldn't even find more than two movies to scrape together to go to.

[00:02:18] There was a third that I thought we were going to, but then Jim didn't bring it up.

[00:02:22] There was a bunch of animated shit, wasn't there?

[00:02:24] We're okay.

[00:02:25] That's this week coming up.

[00:02:25] We're okay.

[00:02:27] That's this week coming up.

[00:02:28] We don't discriminate anymore.

[00:02:30] Apparently.

[00:02:30] We just go to movies.

[00:02:32] Oh, I still do.

[00:02:33] Yeah.

[00:02:33] Well, you've been a discriminative person your whole life.

[00:02:37] I don't sit in a movie theater with kids anymore.

[00:02:38] I can't do it.

[00:02:39] We do the late nights for those ones.

[00:02:41] Exactly.

[00:02:41] 10 o'clock.

[00:02:42] There's not a lot of-

[00:02:43] I mean, they're not there.

[00:02:43] Only the parents that have terrible kids come at the 10 o'clock show.

[00:02:47] They're all terrible kids.

[00:02:48] Yes.

[00:02:49] All right.

[00:02:50] So, the first one is The Big Movie of the Weekend by Sony Pictures, another fantabulous

[00:02:57] superhero movie.

[00:02:59] Yes!

[00:02:59] And you know what the rule is?

[00:03:00] For the people who brought you Madame Web, The Last Venom, and Morbius.

[00:03:05] So, yeah.

[00:03:07] Morbius.

[00:03:07] Morbius was all right.

[00:03:08] So, yeah.

[00:03:08] They have a good track record of superhero movies.

[00:03:12] Yeah.

[00:03:12] When's Morbius 2 coming out?

[00:03:15] Hopefully never.

[00:03:16] I hate you.

[00:03:17] Morbius was good.

[00:03:18] Do you think this one's going to make his top 10 for the year, Mary?

[00:03:22] Sure.

[00:03:24] Yeah.

[00:03:25] I watched the trailers-

[00:03:28] A hundred times.

[00:03:29] A hundred times.

[00:03:31] Even with some of the better actors that are in this, it's still a piece of garbage.

[00:03:39] So, yeah.

[00:03:39] I can't imagine you guys going above a rage.

[00:03:42] But you do know Bryce's rule, right?

[00:03:43] It's a superhero movie.

[00:03:44] I know, but this is a terrible one.

[00:03:46] Remember he gave Black Beetle a match.

[00:03:50] A blue beetle.

[00:03:51] That's true.

[00:03:52] Whatever the beetle was.

[00:03:53] That's true.

[00:03:54] I'm sticking with my double rage.

[00:03:56] I liked it.

[00:03:57] And we got Queer, which I watched the trailer and still have no idea what the hell it's

[00:04:01] about.

[00:04:02] That's okay.

[00:04:02] All I know is Daniel Craig is in it.

[00:04:04] It's A24 and I'm assuming that the people in the movie are gay.

[00:04:08] So-

[00:04:08] You-

[00:04:09] Some are.

[00:04:10] Some of them.

[00:04:11] Well, the main ones I assume-

[00:04:12] Some of them are not sure.

[00:04:13] Some of them are not sure.

[00:04:14] Some of them absolutely aren't.

[00:04:16] I didn't see a whole lot of females in the movie.

[00:04:18] Put it that way.

[00:04:18] There's one.

[00:04:20] One.

[00:04:20] There's a few.

[00:04:22] Yeah.

[00:04:23] Not too many though.

[00:04:24] The doctor.

[00:04:25] The doctor.

[00:04:25] The doctor.

[00:04:26] You know, for 1940, and the doctor is a woman.

[00:04:30] And the maybe girlfriend, maybe not girlfriend.

[00:04:32] Sure.

[00:04:32] Whatever.

[00:04:33] Maybe prostitute, maybe not.

[00:04:35] Uh, I don't know.

[00:04:37] No, I don't think she's a prostitute.

[00:04:38] I don't think it's a Mondo.

[00:04:40] Let's go double meh.

[00:04:41] Double meh.

[00:04:43] Alright.

[00:04:46] Alright.

[00:04:49] Alright.

[00:04:50] Alright.

[00:04:53] Alright.

[00:04:54] So, Craven.

[00:04:57] It's like you just mixed two songs there.

[00:05:00] Yeah.

[00:05:01] Um, well, speaking of songs-

[00:05:02] It sounds like you're singing alright now, but to the music of, I'm alright.

[00:05:08] Exactly.

[00:05:08] That's right.

[00:05:09] That's exactly what I did.

[00:05:10] Okay.

[00:05:11] Because I'm also gonna go into another song right now, for those of you who are Talking Heads fans.

[00:05:16] Hmm.

[00:05:17] Pop a legma juice.

[00:05:18] Hmm.

[00:05:19] Mixed with super lion blood.

[00:05:22] Yep.

[00:05:22] And I think superhero movie magic gets me cravin' for this movie.

[00:05:29] See what I did there?

[00:05:31] I saw.

[00:05:31] I'm cravin' for it.

[00:05:33] Yes.

[00:05:33] So, as expected, with a Fox superhero film, the origin story is ridiculous.

[00:05:40] As well as the script, dialogue, acting, story, CGI animals, CGI blood, CGI action scenes, and pretty much everything you can imagine.

[00:05:51] Every single scene in this was predictable, either right from the beginning, or not until it was because it was randomly or through happenstance actually happens.

[00:06:04] Uh, thugs, just superhero magic happen, and for no apparent reason.

[00:06:13] Although we still, predictably, get to know everything that happens.

[00:06:18] I think I turned to Bryce probably ten times as we were watching the movie, and I said, you know, I wonder why they showed that.

[00:06:25] That's not gonna mean anything later in the movie.

[00:06:27] Do you think, Bryce?

[00:06:28] And he's like, no.

[00:06:29] And then, guess what, Murray?

[00:06:30] It did.

[00:06:32] Foreshadowing.

[00:06:32] Yeah.

[00:06:32] Or I said, that person's not gonna be the villain, are they?

[00:06:36] And he's like, no.

[00:06:38] It didn't work.

[00:06:39] Yep.

[00:06:40] Everything you thought it would mean.

[00:06:41] Yeah.

[00:06:42] I said it just like that, to be clear.

[00:06:44] No.

[00:06:45] Exactly.

[00:06:47] This felt like it was eight hours long, and I wished I continued to watch this at the eight, or sorry, the late movie, not the seven o'clock showing.

[00:07:00] Because if we would have went to the late movie, because we started early on our screening day.

[00:07:05] And I kind of wish we started later.

[00:07:08] So you could have slept in?

[00:07:08] Because then I could have fallen asleep watching this, and I want to say for lack of a better word, film.

[00:07:14] Mm.

[00:07:15] Because I'm not even sure if I should qualify it as that.

[00:07:18] Mm.

[00:07:18] The female lead and her whole arc was completely stupid and completely nonsense.

[00:07:24] Calypso.

[00:07:25] Other super villains were thrown in for, I don't even know why.

[00:07:30] Like, I don't even understand why they existed.

[00:07:32] Well, how was Rhino in this?

[00:07:33] I think just to eat up more time.

[00:07:34] How did we just like kill him off?

[00:07:35] I always thought Rhino was like a major character.

[00:07:38] Shit.

[00:07:38] That's funny.

[00:07:39] But maybe it's just because I watched that cartoon show and he was always in that.

[00:07:42] Yeah, Rhino's always in Spider-Man.

[00:07:43] Oh, Rhino's always in Spider-Man.

[00:07:44] He was!

[00:07:45] And Rhino lives at the end of Spider-Man 3.

[00:07:49] Yes.

[00:07:50] Although he was totally different than this Rhino.

[00:07:53] Yeah, because this Rhino was ridiculous.

[00:07:55] I think he means Spider-Man 2.

[00:07:56] And we had no indication why he was a Rhino.

[00:07:59] I don't know what I mean.

[00:07:59] Other than he went on an African safari once.

[00:08:02] So is he actually a Rhino or he's a guy in his suit?

[00:08:05] Well, here's...

[00:08:06] No.

[00:08:06] You know what?

[00:08:07] Nobody really knows.

[00:08:08] He didn't have a suit, but he kind of turned into...

[00:08:10] Like, he had this...

[00:08:12] He's got some tough skin.

[00:08:13] He got these trisans.

[00:08:14] He's got really tough skin.

[00:08:15] He wasn't like the stupid mechanical one of Spider-Man 2.

[00:08:17] But he grew a horn, Murray.

[00:08:18] No.

[00:08:18] He grew a horn.

[00:08:19] He grew an actual horn.

[00:08:20] He grew a horn.

[00:08:21] For what reason?

[00:08:22] I have no clue at all.

[00:08:24] Because he's Rhino.

[00:08:25] Oh, because it was superhero magic.

[00:08:26] Because he's Rhino.

[00:08:27] Oh yeah, there you go.

[00:08:28] So yeah, we didn't really get a backstory on anybody in this.

[00:08:33] Thank God.

[00:08:33] But thank goodness everyone knew everything about everyone through the magic of superhero magic.

[00:08:40] At no point was I entertained by any of this horrible superhero film.

[00:08:45] It just needs to stop.

[00:08:48] Apparently, Kraven is part of, I want to say, the superhero...

[00:08:53] Super Spider-Boy universe.

[00:08:56] Yeah, he's technically...

[00:08:57] I guess because...

[00:08:57] He's a villain in the Spider-Man universe.

[00:09:00] Because...

[00:09:00] I don't get why.

[00:09:01] Yeah, like...

[00:09:02] I'm not sure.

[00:09:04] Oh.

[00:09:04] Please, can you...

[00:09:06] Maybe this is what I'm hoping happens.

[00:09:08] This is what I actually want to happen.

[00:09:09] I want Fox to just make one big Avengers super mashup and end all of this terrible celluloid that they're putting out into our cinemas.

[00:09:22] This was probably the worst superhero movie I've ever seen.

[00:09:27] It is a horrible, horrible rage.

[00:09:29] I hated every single thing about this.

[00:09:31] Huh?

[00:09:31] It's so unwatchable.

[00:09:33] If...

[00:09:34] If you see this movie and don't come out feeling a little sicker or a little bit more challenged somehow, then I don't know what you're watching.

[00:09:44] Because this was horrible.

[00:09:46] Now, tell us what you thought about this meh filled movie for you, little mister.

[00:09:51] Uh huh.

[00:09:52] Tell me all the great things that you loved about this movie.

[00:09:55] There wasn't a lot to love about this movie.

[00:09:57] What?

[00:09:57] What are you talking about?

[00:09:58] It's a superhero movie.

[00:09:59] It's mad.

[00:10:00] I don't even know who this movie was for because let's drop some F-bombs and maybe make some...

[00:10:06] Have tiny little pieces of it violent enough to get it an R rating.

[00:10:11] But there was no blood.

[00:10:13] Oh, there was CGI blood.

[00:10:14] Yeah, but that's not blood.

[00:10:16] No.

[00:10:17] Um...

[00:10:18] Like, I honestly don't know who they made this for.

[00:10:19] I guess they made this for like the die hard superhero geek that's gonna just no matter what they put out, they're gonna go to it and go, yeah, that's great.

[00:10:29] The same people who know who Madame Web actually was.

[00:10:32] Yeah.

[00:10:32] Cause no one knows who the hell she was.

[00:10:34] Yeah.

[00:10:34] But apparently they still made their money back.

[00:10:38] I don't know about this one.

[00:10:40] I don't think so.

[00:10:41] No, this one made 11 million dollars over the weekend.

[00:10:45] Are you serious?

[00:10:45] Guarantee it.

[00:10:46] Are you serious?

[00:10:47] That's what it said.

[00:10:48] That's what I read.

[00:10:48] So I'm pretty sure it played more than 11 theaters.

[00:10:51] It's got a worldwide gross right now of 28 million.

[00:10:54] There you go.

[00:10:55] And I'm pretty sure it cost more than that to make it.

[00:10:57] I would imagine, yeah.

[00:10:59] I don't know.

[00:10:59] CGI is pretty cheap now.

[00:11:01] Like they didn't go anywhere that wasn't filled with CGI.

[00:11:04] Well, all they gotta do is get, uh, what's his head to do the CGI?

[00:11:08] What's his name?

[00:11:09] Something 14?

[00:11:10] Yeah, the guy who did, uh, who did, um...

[00:11:14] BC 14.

[00:11:14] BC 14, yeah.

[00:11:16] Bigfoot versus Krampus.

[00:11:17] There you go.

[00:11:17] There you go.

[00:11:18] Which, spoiler alert.

[00:11:18] Because I think he pumps out like 12 movies a year.

[00:11:22] Yeah.

[00:11:22] I think he spends like 12 bucks on each movie.

[00:11:24] Spoiler alert, he's part of our Krampus episode.

[00:11:27] Okay, so their budget for making this was 130 million approximately.

[00:11:34] Plus marketing.

[00:11:36] Unless that includes marketing.

[00:11:37] No, it does not include marketing.

[00:11:39] The good thing is, is that Sony can't keep making these movies to lose that much money

[00:11:44] every time.

[00:11:45] Well, Sony's, Sony's got all these properties that they're just rushing the cinema.

[00:11:49] Yeah.

[00:11:49] Cause isn't there, aren't their rates gonna rent run out on them at some point?

[00:11:53] Probably.

[00:11:53] I don't know.

[00:11:54] It's funny.

[00:11:54] I was talking with Jim about this.

[00:11:55] I was watching a series on television about the history of Marvel and yeah, in like

[00:12:01] the eighties, they bought, they were broke.

[00:12:03] They had to sell off all their properties.

[00:12:05] Yeah.

[00:12:05] So they sold out a bunch of them to Sony.

[00:12:07] So I think they might've got a few of them back, but yeah, of course Marvel owns them

[00:12:10] now too anyway.

[00:12:11] But yeah, no.

[00:12:13] And just when you're finished with Kraven, there's another Spider-Man coming out.

[00:12:17] Great.

[00:12:19] Okay.

[00:12:19] Sorry.

[00:12:19] Which is also on my Sony.

[00:12:20] What else were you going to say about this movie that you were so mad about it?

[00:12:23] I really, I really didn't like anything in this movie.

[00:12:28] What?

[00:12:28] What are you, what?

[00:12:29] It's a superhero movie.

[00:12:30] Yeah.

[00:12:30] I felt bad for Russell Crowe.

[00:12:33] Yes.

[00:12:34] He kind of took his role seriously, which I wish he, I wish I wish he wouldn't have because

[00:12:39] you know, the only thing that could have saved this movie and you know what I'm going

[00:12:42] to say.

[00:12:43] Oh, I do.

[00:12:45] If, if Russell Crowe was on a scooter, this would have went straight to Mondo.

[00:12:50] I mean, I don't care.

[00:12:51] You can, you can put the garbage piece, biggest piece of garbage movie.

[00:12:55] But if you have like a seven second sequence in the middle of it where I got to see where

[00:13:00] I get to see Russell Crowe riding down the street on a scooter as I said, that's all

[00:13:05] I need.

[00:13:06] Greatest joy.

[00:13:07] It's, it's, it's ever been delivered.

[00:13:09] It's the most fantastic site that you'll ever see in your life.

[00:13:12] And that, that makes anything.

[00:13:13] I'm sold.

[00:13:14] But that's the whole thing.

[00:13:15] We don't even get that.

[00:13:16] No.

[00:13:17] We get nothing in this.

[00:13:18] And I don't even understand.

[00:13:19] Like, I don't understand this character.

[00:13:23] I don't.

[00:13:24] Yeah.

[00:13:25] Like, what is it?

[00:13:25] Like nothing was really explained.

[00:13:27] I barely understand it.

[00:13:28] I didn't even see the movie.

[00:13:29] And I guess I'm glad that they didn't explain it.

[00:13:31] No.

[00:13:31] Because then it would have been like a four hour movie.

[00:13:32] He's a villain.

[00:13:33] A two parter.

[00:13:34] But apparently he's, he kills kind of, he's like, he's a, he's an enemy of Spider-Man.

[00:13:39] Well, if he's a villain, he's kind of, he's killing nothing but bad guys in this.

[00:13:44] Yes.

[00:13:44] But in the comics and the, whatever, the previous reincarnation.

[00:13:48] So does he start killing bad guys?

[00:13:50] He's killing superheroes too.

[00:13:52] He kills everyone.

[00:13:53] He kills superheroes too.

[00:13:53] So what happened?

[00:13:54] Why does he start killing superheroes?

[00:13:56] I don't know.

[00:13:56] I have no idea.

[00:13:56] I never read the comics.

[00:13:57] I just know that's where his origins are from.

[00:13:59] And he's in the Spider-Man universe.

[00:14:01] So.

[00:14:01] Along with the octopus and, and the goblin, everybody else to Craven's in there too.

[00:14:07] I was thinking about this movie this afternoon.

[00:14:10] I was like, okay, I gotta, I gotta say this about it.

[00:14:12] I gotta say that about it.

[00:14:13] Wait, were you doing your pants up when we walked in?

[00:14:16] Was that what was happening when you were thinking about it?

[00:14:18] You were thinking about this movie?

[00:14:19] Yeah.

[00:14:20] Remember when you welcomed us at the door and you were had your, had your pants down.

[00:14:23] My pants weren't down for one thing.

[00:14:26] Okay.

[00:14:28] But you were thinking about it anyway.

[00:14:30] No, no, I wasn't.

[00:14:30] I was thinking about it earlier today.

[00:14:32] Oh, okay.

[00:14:33] And I had all these things that I was going to say about this movie, but then I kind

[00:14:36] of forgot because this movie is so forgettable.

[00:14:39] I don't, I always think, oh yeah, I'm going to say that.

[00:14:42] I'm going to say that.

[00:14:43] And then I get to the podcast.

[00:14:44] I'm like, man, I should have written something down.

[00:14:46] Cause I really don't remember anything about this movie.

[00:14:49] So I watched it.

[00:14:50] I know there was, um, I know he jumped around.

[00:14:53] He did.

[00:14:54] He's part.

[00:14:55] I know there was a lot of CGI blood.

[00:14:57] He was doing a lot of pork.

[00:14:57] I know they dropped some F bombs just so they could say that this is an adult movie.

[00:15:01] I guess.

[00:15:02] It's like, they're trying to be the Fox version of Deadpool versus Wolverine.

[00:15:07] Maybe.

[00:15:07] Yeah.

[00:15:07] Yeah.

[00:15:08] And, uh, and I remember I was disappointed cause Russell Crowe wasn't on a scooter and

[00:15:13] that's all I really remember about this.

[00:15:14] You know what?

[00:15:15] When you think about it, those are kind of the most important parts of this movie.

[00:15:19] So yeah, this was a rage.

[00:15:21] Um, I hated this movie.

[00:15:23] The, the, the actors, I guess none of nobody was bad in it, but it's just, they didn't have

[00:15:30] material.

[00:15:30] They had nothing to work with.

[00:15:32] Yeah.

[00:15:32] And I'm starting to think that the JC Chandor might not be a very good director.

[00:15:38] What else has he done?

[00:15:40] Um, what else is, I was just looking earlier.

[00:15:43] Well, Murray hit us with some buttons while Bryce is looking shit up.

[00:15:46] Yeah.

[00:15:46] He made that a most violent year, which was actually okay.

[00:15:50] Yeah.

[00:15:51] It wasn't bad.

[00:15:52] I don't know.

[00:15:53] Like it just was like, this had so much where things were so obvious.

[00:16:00] Like there was just, that was probably the most annoying thing was everything was so

[00:16:04] obvious and everybody kind of knew everything that was happening all the time.

[00:16:07] So it's like when you thought, Oh, like I'm going to do something like this.

[00:16:11] And then it's like, no, it's like, I already know this.

[00:16:14] So it doesn't matter.

[00:16:16] It's like, how did everybody get ESP?

[00:16:18] And all of a sudden we've got like, they threw him.

[00:16:21] Sorry.

[00:16:21] What was his girlfriend's slash lawyer friend's name again?

[00:16:25] Uh, Calamity.

[00:16:27] Calypso.

[00:16:27] Calypso.

[00:16:28] Calypso toe.

[00:16:29] Like her whole arc is just the stupidest arc I've ever seen in my life.

[00:16:34] You know, he, I thought he directed a couple of movies that I, that he actually didn't direct.

[00:16:39] He just produced them.

[00:16:41] So.

[00:16:41] Okay.

[00:16:41] So he actually, now I'm, yeah, now I'm looking at, yeah, it was, well, he's in Viper Club,

[00:16:46] which was awful.

[00:16:47] And he was in, uh, or as he produced Viper Club and he produced run this town, which was

[00:16:51] awful.

[00:16:51] But he, um, yeah, looking at his movies, how could this movie be this bad?

[00:16:56] A most violent year was quite good.

[00:16:58] Oscar Isaac was great in it.

[00:17:00] Oh, hello.

[00:17:01] Um, all is lost was good.

[00:17:03] And margin call was, was okay.

[00:17:05] Yeah.

[00:17:06] Well, I mean,

[00:17:07] frontier was piece of dog crap.

[00:17:09] Maybe he's now on a trend.

[00:17:10] He's on, you know, he's, uh, he can't be perfect all the time.

[00:17:13] Cause all, all is lost was that, uh, a Redford movie where he was like lost at sea and it

[00:17:18] was actually okay.

[00:17:19] It wasn't horrible.

[00:17:21] It wasn't great.

[00:17:22] It's Robert.

[00:17:22] Margin call was good though.

[00:17:24] And, uh, yeah, triple frontier.

[00:17:26] That wasn't fantastic.

[00:17:28] Even though it had the finest actor of mine or anybody else's generation in it.

[00:17:32] Oh, Daniel day Lewis.

[00:17:33] I know that would be Mr. Ben Affleck.

[00:17:35] Oh, right.

[00:17:36] So it was, so it's worth watching because Mr. Ben Affleck is in it.

[00:17:40] Yeah.

[00:17:41] I thought we'd actually go whole episode of mentioning his name.

[00:17:43] Yeah.

[00:17:43] I didn't.

[00:17:44] I thought so too, but apparently it's one of those movies.

[00:17:46] That's why we shouldn't let Bryce slip it in.

[00:17:48] We should probably not let Bryce look at the internet.

[00:17:51] I feel like I need to watch triple frontier again though.

[00:17:53] Cause it's got Mr. Ben Affleck.

[00:17:55] Who's fantastic.

[00:17:56] It's got Oscar Isaac in it.

[00:17:58] It's got Pedro Pascal in it.

[00:18:00] Oh my God.

[00:18:00] Then I couldn't mix those two up again.

[00:18:02] How could it remember when I did that?

[00:18:04] You did.

[00:18:04] Now they're in the same movie.

[00:18:05] Now they're in the same movie.

[00:18:06] Now I have to see that movie again.

[00:18:09] All right.

[00:18:10] Well, I think, you know what?

[00:18:11] I know we have a short episode this week, but I can't talk about this craving.

[00:18:15] No, I don't.

[00:18:16] It's not.

[00:18:16] It's just, I don't need to.

[00:18:18] It's one of those movies.

[00:18:19] It's, I don't even really want to talk about it.

[00:18:21] I just, I wasn't enthused to watch it.

[00:18:24] And then I thought sometimes you go into a movie and you're like, I really don't want

[00:18:27] to see this.

[00:18:27] And then you're like, you know what?

[00:18:29] Wasn't that bad.

[00:18:30] No, that was not this case at all.

[00:18:33] We knew like 10 minutes into this.

[00:18:35] We were not going to like it.

[00:18:36] It's so bad.

[00:18:37] It's just, but it's not like we project.

[00:18:39] We're not projecting here.

[00:18:41] Hmm.

[00:18:42] Cause we've been wrong.

[00:18:43] Oh yeah.

[00:18:44] By trailers before.

[00:18:45] Sometimes I go into a movie thinking this is going to be the biggest, and it's like,

[00:18:48] holy crap.

[00:18:48] That was really good.

[00:18:50] I can't believe it.

[00:18:51] No, that wasn't.

[00:18:52] Now we're going to switch gears because when the trailer for this came out, I said, I think

[00:18:58] this is going to be an amazing movie.

[00:19:00] I don't think I really remember the trailer.

[00:19:03] All right.

[00:19:03] Okay.

[00:19:03] Well, so, uh, queer, queer, queer.

[00:19:07] Yes.

[00:19:08] So Burroughs trailer.

[00:19:10] Yeah.

[00:19:10] Follow along there, Bryce.

[00:19:11] Yeah.

[00:19:11] But keep up with the program.

[00:19:13] Burroughs is one of those writers that it's hard to get right.

[00:19:18] Transferring his writing into a film.

[00:19:20] This is my, my process and opinion in this interpretation.

[00:19:27] We see Daniel Craig as an aging, albeit super cut, drug addict, queer man, who's escaped

[00:19:36] to Mexico to live because it's illegal at the time to be gay in the U S he's quirky

[00:19:43] and awkward and desperate to be understood and loved, but it's a battle.

[00:19:50] He's desperately, desperately losing.

[00:19:52] He finds who he thinks may be the one, but soon realizes he's not.

[00:20:01] Hmm.

[00:20:02] All the while he is hunting for a drug from South America that can deliver telepathy.

[00:20:08] The music is probably, I want to say the most surprising and fantastic I've seen in a film

[00:20:16] in a very long time.

[00:20:17] I mean, we get new order, Prince, Radiohead, Nirvana, and of course, Reznor and Ross doing the, this.

[00:20:26] In a movie that like takes place in the 50s.

[00:20:29] In the 50s.

[00:20:30] Like it was right out of nowhere.

[00:20:32] And it, it's shot like it's in the 50s.

[00:20:35] Like I felt as I was watching it, I was in Mexico in the 50s.

[00:20:39] And yet we have all these, and we had different versions of some stuff.

[00:20:44] Oh, the music was fantastic.

[00:20:45] They played a couple of Prince songs that are like real rarities.

[00:20:49] Oh, deep cuts.

[00:20:49] Like deep, deep cuts.

[00:20:51] Like not even on like, you know, you really got to look.

[00:20:54] Yeah.

[00:20:54] It's, it's a total, you got to look off of it.

[00:20:56] Um, the film is beautifully shot yet filthy and gritty at times, which is what you'd expect

[00:21:04] from a Burroughs adaptation in all honesty.

[00:21:06] Like he, he writes like he's, he's filthy cause he is, um, Daniel Craig in this is, is

[00:21:13] fucking incredible.

[00:21:14] When I say he was unrecognizable in this and because Bryce and I had a discussion about

[00:21:20] this, I mean, because he is transformative in this role.

[00:21:24] He may look like Daniel Craig, especially when he takes his shirt off and he looks like

[00:21:28] he's super dripping hot, but he's a different person altogether.

[00:21:33] Now, speaking of that, Jason Schwartzman, he's actually physically a different person.

[00:21:40] Yes.

[00:21:42] This is weird.

[00:21:44] He stuck his head on someone else's body.

[00:21:46] It is.

[00:21:46] I don't know how they did it.

[00:21:48] Unless Daniel Craig is really that much taller than Jason Schwartzman.

[00:21:52] He's not.

[00:21:52] And like halfway through the, well, I'm going to say halfway through the movie, but halfway

[00:21:56] into the time we're seeing Jason Schwartzman for the first time.

[00:21:59] I didn't know it was Jason Schwartzman.

[00:22:02] I was like, who's that actor?

[00:22:03] I know who that is.

[00:22:04] And then I'm like, oh my God, it's Jason Schwartzman.

[00:22:06] I knew who it was from the, from the first time, but I'm like, what, how, what, huh?

[00:22:11] What is happening right now?

[00:22:13] How did they chop them off at the knees?

[00:22:15] What's going on here?

[00:22:16] He is.

[00:22:17] He was like, I don't know.

[00:22:18] Like whatever.

[00:22:19] It was like door fun golf.

[00:22:20] He's walking around on his knees.

[00:22:22] It's door.

[00:22:22] Or maybe they just oompa loompa'd him.

[00:22:24] I don't know.

[00:22:25] Maybe.

[00:22:25] But you know what?

[00:22:26] The good thing is, is he's, he's fucking brilliant in this too.

[00:22:29] Yeah.

[00:22:30] Um, this is weird and thought provoking mind altering and a fantastic self discovery film

[00:22:39] that also includes a lot of great on screen gay sex with our once greatest James Bond

[00:22:46] of all time.

[00:22:47] And I'm going to say beat that Sean Connery.

[00:22:49] Didn't see you having any on screen gay sex with anybody.

[00:22:53] Yeah.

[00:22:53] Never.

[00:22:54] That wouldn't have.

[00:22:55] Yeah, no doubt.

[00:22:56] Exactly.

[00:22:57] Cause he has, we rest our case.

[00:22:58] He has one note.

[00:23:00] Yes.

[00:23:01] Oh, he's just homophobic.

[00:23:02] That's all.

[00:23:02] Yeah.

[00:23:03] He's probably that too.

[00:23:04] Um, I love this film.

[00:23:06] It, to me, it had an absolute perfect, and I mean, perfect ending the ending that shot

[00:23:12] in this.

[00:23:12] I just thought, please don't end it any way that could ruin this ending.

[00:23:16] And to me it was perfect.

[00:23:17] And after going through what Craig goes through to get him to the end, the one moment of love

[00:23:24] that he felt through his entire, through this entire film, but probably his entire life

[00:23:29] is what we are left with at the end through all the strife and turmoil that he's put through

[00:23:36] to, to leave us with a positive note at the end, just fit this movie so well.

[00:23:41] Um, it almost had me bawling my eyes out, but it didn't.

[00:23:44] And normally I would have had to have get to that bawling point to actually get this to a mondo.

[00:23:52] But I just loved every single frame of this movie.

[00:23:55] It, it was, it's probably going to make my top 10.

[00:23:59] I'm not going to lie.

[00:24:00] Alrighty.

[00:24:01] Yeah.

[00:24:03] Okay.

[00:24:04] Queer Luca Guadagnino.

[00:24:08] Yes.

[00:24:08] Is one of those directors that seems to have a lot of ideas going into a shoot and then proceeds

[00:24:17] to use every single one of them.

[00:24:20] Yes.

[00:24:21] It causes features to be rather uneven in tone and pace, which in a lesser director's hands

[00:24:29] may end up as a jumbled mess, but in Luca's hands, it makes for glorious and fearless cinema.

[00:24:38] The unevenness of his projects make them intriguing on a whole different level than most directors

[00:24:45] work in today.

[00:24:46] For that alone, queer is worth watching.

[00:24:50] But then you add in the performance of Daniel Craig as Bill Lee, a gay American expat writer

[00:25:00] in Mexico who spends his time high or drunk or both while trying to pick up younger men

[00:25:09] is as good as Craig has ever been in his life.

[00:25:12] This is the best that Craig has been.

[00:25:15] And Craig is a good actor.

[00:25:17] Yep.

[00:25:17] On top of that, we get Jason Schwartzman as his bar fly friend and Drew Starkey as Eugene,

[00:25:23] the object of Bill's affection, all up to the high acting bar that Craig sets early on in

[00:25:30] this.

[00:25:30] Eventually we end up in the jungle where Leslie Manville plays a slightly off kilter chemist,

[00:25:38] with a shotgun.

[00:25:40] Oh my God.

[00:25:41] She is absolutely fantastic in this role.

[00:25:44] And what a delight, just an absolute force in this.

[00:25:49] She's just like when you see her, it's like you are the filthiest thing that's ever walked

[00:25:54] out of the jungle.

[00:25:55] Oh my God.

[00:25:57] So yeah, she's absolutely fantastic in the role.

[00:26:01] And as the film continues to unravel in a magnificent, mesmerizing, delightful mess, I am not sure.

[00:26:10] I'm not sure I would recommend this film.

[00:26:14] I'm not even sure who I would recommend this film to.

[00:26:17] Everybody.

[00:26:17] Everybody should see this movie.

[00:26:19] I don't know that everybody's going to appreciate this movie as much as you.

[00:26:23] I'm not saying everybody shouldn't see it.

[00:26:26] I'm saying that after everyone sees it, not everybody's going to enjoy it.

[00:26:30] And I don't think that I, well, who knows?

[00:26:33] I mean, so the gay sex is obviously going to turn off some people.

[00:26:36] I don't know why.

[00:26:37] Um, but I can only tell you what I thought of it.

[00:26:41] And I thought this was freaking Mondo.

[00:26:44] This is a brilliant, brilliant, fearless movie.

[00:26:47] It's his best.

[00:26:47] Fearless in so many ways.

[00:26:49] Fearless in the way that it depicts certain situations.

[00:26:52] Fearless in, in the style.

[00:26:55] Fearless in the just craziness that it'll go.

[00:26:58] The music.

[00:26:59] Fearless in the use of its music.

[00:27:01] Like everything.

[00:27:02] I am just such a fan of this director.

[00:27:05] Um, I just, I just think he's so, so good.

[00:27:09] If it wasn't for his remake of Suspira.

[00:27:13] Which was, which was okay.

[00:27:15] It was okay.

[00:27:16] It was okay.

[00:27:16] Yeah, it was meh.

[00:27:17] But I mean, like, you know what?

[00:27:20] Maybe we do need to discuss him again.

[00:27:22] Cause you know, of course he did bones and all, which was like so amazing.

[00:27:27] I don't know.

[00:27:28] Maybe we need to, just, just, I'm just gonna, I mean, we'll talk about it.

[00:27:32] I think we've discussed them before though.

[00:27:34] Well, okay.

[00:27:34] So the good thing is, is that he made challengers after bones and all.

[00:27:39] Yes.

[00:27:40] Because challengers for me was a man.

[00:27:42] Yeah.

[00:27:43] And also.

[00:27:45] I think I might've Mondo challenges.

[00:27:47] You did.

[00:27:47] Yeah.

[00:27:48] And Suspiria was Mondo, but call me by your name is, is Mondo.

[00:27:51] Mondo.

[00:27:52] Absolutely.

[00:27:52] Mondo.

[00:27:53] Suspiria was man.

[00:27:54] Yeah.

[00:27:55] Let's talk about him in the new year.

[00:27:57] Well, maybe if we get some time, watch.

[00:27:59] But yeah, this, this movie is just so good.

[00:28:01] And the characters in it.

[00:28:02] Oh man.

[00:28:03] Like when Leslie, man, I couldn't believe you didn't even discuss Leslie Manville in your review.

[00:28:07] I know you get, there's only so much time.

[00:28:08] There's always so much you say, but when she hits the screen, my God, which was just so

[00:28:14] good.

[00:28:15] Yeah.

[00:28:16] That whole, and that whole sequence is so nut burgers.

[00:28:19] It's just crazy.

[00:28:20] And the thing is, here's the thing in that scene, there's the most obvious, like rubber

[00:28:26] snake.

[00:28:26] There's a rubber snake that's in there.

[00:28:27] Yes.

[00:28:28] It's so, there's a rubber snake.

[00:28:30] But it doesn't matter.

[00:28:31] And it's supposed to be real.

[00:28:32] Yeah.

[00:28:33] And it doesn't matter.

[00:28:34] It fit.

[00:28:35] Because everything's just so crazy at that point.

[00:28:38] It's so bonkers.

[00:28:38] Because that's what he does.

[00:28:40] He's like, he, he lulls you to sleep.

[00:28:42] And then he's like, are you paying attention?

[00:28:45] Because I'm here.

[00:28:46] I'm going to fuck you.

[00:28:48] I know it.

[00:28:48] And then the whole, the whole scene when they're on the ayahuasca and they're melting together,

[00:28:52] it was like something out of society.

[00:28:55] It was like, I just, I love this movie.

[00:28:58] I just love this movie.

[00:29:00] That's what I said.

[00:29:00] This is going to make my top 10 for sure.

[00:29:02] And you know, here's the thing, right?

[00:29:05] You, like you said, who can you, who can people who appreciate art house films?

[00:29:10] Yeah.

[00:29:11] This is like, and I hope I would hope most of the people that listen to us.

[00:29:15] And anybody that complains you about the same old crap they're seeing, well, you watch

[00:29:17] this, this is not the same old crap.

[00:29:19] This is, yeah.

[00:29:19] And, but, but also the people that I think listen to us, I don't think people that are

[00:29:23] huge fans of Marvel are listening to our podcast.

[00:29:27] Fair enough.

[00:29:27] I hope that the people that listen to us.

[00:29:29] If they are, they don't like us.

[00:29:30] Yeah.

[00:29:30] Because it's like, I want to, I want to, I want to hate fuck the entire film range just

[00:29:35] because the things they say about my, my beloved superhero movies.

[00:29:40] Not the entire film range crew.

[00:29:42] Whatever.

[00:29:42] You're not loving, you're not loving a lot of this.

[00:29:45] I don't agree about it as much as you guys do.

[00:29:47] Yeah.

[00:29:47] Yeah.

[00:29:47] Yeah.

[00:29:47] But you still don't like it.

[00:29:49] Yes.

[00:29:50] Come on.

[00:29:51] We're didn't, but yeah, this was such a breath of fresh air.

[00:29:54] Oh my goodness.

[00:29:54] Was this an original piece and just so, so good.

[00:29:58] It, it, you know, we've seen other Burroughs adaptations that they're just, the director

[00:30:05] can't get it.

[00:30:06] Yeah.

[00:30:06] And then we've seen that where they can.

[00:30:08] Yeah.

[00:30:08] But yeah, it's, it's, it's, I mean, you almost have to go off the deep end to cause you know,

[00:30:14] Burroughs was off the deep end.

[00:30:16] So you gotta have some, you have to have some crazy ways of getting the stuff on screen.

[00:30:21] And I tell you that Luca is just so good at it.

[00:30:25] He's just nuttier the script.

[00:30:28] Like he'll, he'll make a, he'll make a masterpiece out of anything.

[00:30:31] He's just so good.

[00:30:33] The, the, there is some scenes in this Marie.

[00:30:35] This would, Marie is not comfortable with watching gay sex.

[00:30:40] No, I'm not.

[00:30:41] And, uh, I can tell you there's a scene in here when Daniel Craig meets his, his crush

[00:30:49] for the first time.

[00:30:50] Mmm.

[00:30:50] And like, I could, my toes were crrrr, crrrr, crrrr.

[00:30:55] With Daniel Craig's ability to suck a dick.

[00:30:58] It was like, oh my God.

[00:31:00] At the end, but at the end of it, he snowballed a bit.

[00:31:05] He totally snowballed.

[00:31:07] It was so good.

[00:31:08] What?

[00:31:09] It's like, he's like, no, no, don't spit it up.

[00:31:15] It's like, oh my God.

[00:31:17] There's scenes in this.

[00:31:18] I'm just not even sure.

[00:31:19] Then we got some deep kissing with some added lubrication.

[00:31:25] It was so good.

[00:31:27] Oh my God.

[00:31:28] Oh my God.

[00:31:29] All right.

[00:31:30] Well, that was a pretty balanced week.

[00:31:33] Yeah.

[00:31:34] Did you hit us yet?

[00:31:35] No, I haven't.

[00:31:35] Cause we're too excited.

[00:31:37] You haven't stopped talking yet.

[00:31:37] I know.

[00:31:38] We're so excited.

[00:31:39] This film is so good.

[00:31:41] Mondo.

[00:31:46] Yeah.

[00:31:47] If you like our podcast or if you love our podcast, you have to see this film.

[00:31:51] Yeah.

[00:31:52] It's just, it's a must see.

[00:31:54] It's amazing.

[00:31:54] In cinema too.

[00:31:55] Cause it's brilliantly shot.

[00:31:56] It sure is.

[00:32:03] Oh, speaking of brilliantly shot, what you got for us this week, buckaroo?

[00:32:09] Well, speaking of love.

[00:32:11] Uh, the more traditional kind.

[00:32:13] Oh, what?

[00:32:14] That is traditional kind.

[00:32:15] This week I offer up a little Festivus cheer.

[00:32:19] Oh, nothing says I love you like snowballing someone else.

[00:32:24] All right.

[00:32:25] Enough.

[00:32:28] What kind of love are you talking about?

[00:32:29] Just can't, well, I'm not.

[00:32:30] Christmas love?

[00:32:31] Let's start over again.

[00:32:32] Okay.

[00:32:32] Christmas love?

[00:32:34] Yes.

[00:32:34] It's a Festivus cheer in the form of a classic and universally loved holiday film with a huge

[00:32:40] list of big name actors and all the smarmy lovey dovey cheese.

[00:32:45] Oh, miracle on 34th street.

[00:32:47] Cheese that comes with a typical Christmas movie.

[00:32:49] It's miracle on 34th street.

[00:32:50] No, it is.

[00:32:52] Of course.

[00:32:53] It's a spiritual.

[00:32:53] It's a wonderful life.

[00:32:54] Love actually.

[00:32:55] Oh, no, which I have actually never seen.

[00:32:59] What?

[00:33:00] That's a Murray movie over 20 years ago.

[00:33:03] That's a total Murray movie.

[00:33:04] Is that the one with Bill Nye the acting guy?

[00:33:07] It is.

[00:33:08] So I figured what the hell?

[00:33:09] It's a Murray movie.

[00:33:10] Murray loved it.

[00:33:11] The first pre-doll, I didn't know I was going to like the movie.

[00:33:13] I was 20 years old.

[00:33:14] We could have told you that.

[00:33:15] Murray loved it.

[00:33:17] Let me first read off the cast.

[00:33:19] Yes.

[00:33:19] Hugh Grant.

[00:33:20] Emma Thompson.

[00:33:22] Yes.

[00:33:22] Colin Firth.

[00:33:23] Yes.

[00:33:24] Alan Rickman.

[00:33:25] Yes.

[00:33:25] Bill Nye.

[00:33:26] Yes.

[00:33:27] Liam Neeson.

[00:33:28] Yes.

[00:33:29] Kieran Knightley.

[00:33:31] Yes.

[00:33:31] Pretty much every well-known British actor from the 2000s.

[00:33:36] I can't believe you've never seen this.

[00:33:37] Never saw it.

[00:33:38] I think it was a good movie.

[00:33:38] You know, we actually did this on our podcast.

[00:33:41] Did you?

[00:33:41] Yeah, we did.

[00:33:41] It was one of our Christmas episodes you didn't make.

[00:33:43] Yeah, it was somebody's favorite.

[00:33:45] Was I thought they ever did?

[00:33:45] Yeah, it was somebody's favorite movie.

[00:33:47] They also threw in a few yanks like Laura Linney.

[00:33:51] Mm-hmm.

[00:33:52] And Billy Bob Thornton acting like Trump before Trump was Trump.

[00:33:56] Mm-hmm.

[00:33:57] Uh, the story of the film revolves around eight couples with completely different relationships.

[00:34:03] Yep.

[00:34:04] Uh, there's Hugh, the Prime Minister, who's in love with a staff member.

[00:34:09] Mm-hmm.

[00:34:10] Alan Rickman, married to Emma, but pursued by his horny secretary.

[00:34:14] Mm-hmm.

[00:34:14] Andrew Lincoln from Walking Dead, in love with his best friend's wife, Kieran Knightley.

[00:34:21] Colin Firth, the writer, who falls in love with his Spanish cleaning lady but can't tell her.

[00:34:27] Bill Nye is delightful as a washed-up rock legend who puts out a cheesy Christmas song.

[00:34:32] Oh, it's such a good Christmas song.

[00:34:33] He bashes it in public and yet still ends up as the number one hit of the year.

[00:34:38] Uh, the only thing I didn't get was Martin Freeman's story arc.

[00:34:42] Yeah, you don't need it.

[00:34:43] He's a stand-in actor on a porno or a softcore film who falls in love with his female co-star

[00:34:51] slash stand-in while they're shooting nude scenes all day.

[00:34:55] Yes.

[00:34:56] It was awesome.

[00:34:56] It just, that was weird for me, but funny, but weird.

[00:35:00] Okay.

[00:35:00] Uh, out of all these separate tales, my personal favorite was, of course, Liam Neeson.

[00:35:06] It was a good tale.

[00:35:07] He played a widower who was charged with leading his 10-year-old stepson.

[00:35:11] Yeah.

[00:35:12] Yeah, the kid.

[00:35:12] His first was adorable.

[00:35:14] That was the kid from the book runner or whatever it was called.

[00:35:17] Maze Runner.

[00:35:17] Maze Runner.

[00:35:18] Maze Runner.

[00:35:18] Book runner.

[00:35:19] This relationship was so sweet and funny and melted my heart instantly.

[00:35:23] Yes.

[00:35:24] Of course, with this kind of movie, it's a given there would be all kinds of Hollywood happy endings.

[00:35:29] So many happy endings.

[00:35:31] Not all of the characters find love at the end.

[00:35:33] No.

[00:35:34] Which was the brilliance of the story.

[00:35:35] Yeah.

[00:35:36] Sometimes things just don't work out.

[00:35:38] True.

[00:35:39] At the end, most, almost all of the different characters somehow end up at the same children's

[00:35:43] Christmas concert.

[00:35:44] Isn't that amazing?

[00:35:45] How convenient.

[00:35:46] It is.

[00:35:47] So convenient.

[00:35:47] It's almost like a Christmas miracle.

[00:35:49] Yes.

[00:35:50] So you guys maybe didn't like it as much as I did.

[00:35:53] Oh, I know you liked it.

[00:35:54] It's very like Christmasy and cheerful and happy.

[00:35:57] It's hard not to.

[00:35:58] No Krampuses to be found anywhere.

[00:36:01] It's a guilty pleasure.

[00:36:02] Is it one of my favorite Christmas films?

[00:36:04] No.

[00:36:05] But it was still very good and I may add it to my annual holiday watch list.

[00:36:10] So, yeah, very high meh.

[00:36:12] It was a high meh, really.

[00:36:14] Yeah, yeah.

[00:36:14] It was good.

[00:36:15] So you liked it the same amount as Bryce and I because we both gave it a meh.

[00:36:18] Yeah, I didn't think you would like that.

[00:36:19] I thought I'd be too happy for you guys.

[00:36:21] No, the stories in that.

[00:36:23] And Bill Nye is so good.

[00:36:25] Bill Nye.

[00:36:25] He was awesome.

[00:36:25] The stories, like what's good about it, the stories are so tightly written.

[00:36:32] Like the writing in Love actually is really tightly written.

[00:36:35] Yeah, it is.

[00:36:35] You don't, I mean really a Christmas movie slash romance.

[00:36:40] It's a romance.

[00:36:41] But it seems, it interweaves.

[00:36:42] Yeah.

[00:36:43] Like Emma Thompson is like the sister of Hugh Grant.

[00:36:46] Yep.

[00:36:47] And then at the end, you find out the girl that he's looking for lives next door to the

[00:36:53] lusty secretary that is going after Ellen Rikin.

[00:36:55] That's why they all live in the same place.

[00:36:57] They live next to each other.

[00:36:58] That's why they all live in the same place.

[00:36:59] They all weave together was pretty good.

[00:37:00] Yeah, but what I'm going with it on is the fact that like, it's hard not to like

[00:37:05] it because the stories are quick and painless.

[00:37:08] If you had one of those stories, like most of these Christmas movies do and stretched

[00:37:13] it out over an hour and a half.

[00:37:16] Yeah.

[00:37:16] It would be horrible.

[00:37:17] Yeah.

[00:37:18] Cause, cause none of the people are interesting enough to have a whole movie.

[00:37:21] Yeah, no, everybody had their own good story arc.

[00:37:23] It was good.

[00:37:23] Yeah.

[00:37:24] So yeah, that was what I watched last week.

[00:37:26] Nice.

[00:37:26] I had another one to my Christmas list.

[00:37:28] Sweet.

[00:37:32] Temperature rising.

[00:37:35] Vision blurring.

[00:37:37] Rage.

[00:37:38] Taking over.

[00:37:41] My dog's licking Murray's knee.

[00:37:43] Nice.

[00:37:44] He's not eating stuff out of my pockets anymore.

[00:37:47] Yes.

[00:37:48] I got stuff in my pocket.

[00:37:50] Can you come and lick it?

[00:37:50] Put it right in his mouth.

[00:38:02] All right.

[00:38:03] And he'll try to swallow it.

[00:38:06] He does.

[00:38:07] He swallows everything.

[00:38:08] His dog literally eats everything.

[00:38:11] Everything.

[00:38:12] Yeah.

[00:38:12] All right.

[00:38:13] Um, no surprise that my rage this week is, I mean, I could say it's, it's Craven, but

[00:38:21] you know, it's, it's not Craven.

[00:38:23] So we're going to get like, I think 12 movies for the two weeks at Christmas.

[00:38:31] Yeah.

[00:38:32] We're off.

[00:38:32] So this is, this is my rage.

[00:38:34] And often, I mean, it's part of a similar rage I have multiple times, but over the Christmas

[00:38:41] season, I don't know if I'm going to be at a chance to see 12 fucking movies because

[00:38:48] I have a whole bunch of things to do with the holidays.

[00:38:51] Yep.

[00:38:51] We've got to celebrate Krampus.

[00:38:54] And then we got boxing Krampus the day after.

[00:38:57] And it's, there's just not as much time.

[00:39:01] We saw two movies this week.

[00:39:03] We could have squeezed in a third or a fourth movie this week.

[00:39:07] Have it still playing over Christmas because if people didn't get to see it, but don't

[00:39:10] fucking release 12 movies over Christmas and then expect us to see them all.

[00:39:16] I'm just like, well, this is Oscar season.

[00:39:19] So that's when they release everything.

[00:39:20] Well, none of those movies are going to be Oscar worthy except for maybe Nosferatu.

[00:39:24] No, the Bob Dylan thing will probably get something.

[00:39:26] Maybe.

[00:39:27] But I'm just saying is that that's when studios release the, their biggest heavy hitters

[00:39:31] that they want to be up for awards between Christmas and New Year's.

[00:39:35] No, they've been releasing them for the last month.

[00:39:37] We got, we got Angelina Jolie who's probably going to get one.

[00:39:41] But they usually wait until the end of the year because then it's still fresh in their,

[00:39:43] their voters minds when they go to vote for movies.

[00:39:46] It's something that came out in March.

[00:39:48] No one remembers what the hell came out in March.

[00:39:51] So yeah, they all release stuff at the end of the year.

[00:39:53] That's the way they do it.

[00:39:55] Yeah. Well, okay. Then that's why I'm raging.

[00:39:58] Because I don't have time to watch 12 movies.

[00:40:00] Who does?

[00:40:40] What about my rage?

[00:40:41] What is it this week?

[00:40:43] It's time.

[00:40:43] Do you have one?

[00:40:44] Do your thing.

[00:40:45] Ah, my rage is pretty simple.

[00:40:47] I think it's...

[00:40:48] Simple? That's not normally your rage.

[00:40:50] I'm surprised it wasn't Jim's rage.

[00:40:52] Oh, you mean I thought it would be crazy?

[00:40:53] Well, you know what?

[00:40:53] My rage is a little deeper though.

[00:40:55] My rage is actually with the Pope's Exorcist.

[00:40:58] What?

[00:40:58] For originally showing me Russell Crowe on a scooter.

[00:41:02] Yeah.

[00:41:03] Because now every time I see a Russell Crowe movie,

[00:41:06] if I don't get a scooter, I'm severely disappointed.

[00:41:10] Yeah. You know what?

[00:41:11] But you know what?

[00:41:12] Here's the thing.

[00:41:13] We got eased into it because that was a meh.

[00:41:14] So my rage was like no scooter, but really it's a deeper rage.

[00:41:19] I almost wish that I never saw it, even though it brought me such joy

[00:41:23] because now I have such disappointment every time that I don't see it.

[00:41:27] I think we should watch it again because we only gave that movie a meh.

[00:41:30] And majority of the reason for the meh was because of the scooter

[00:41:33] because the movie was not really good.

[00:41:35] It wasn't great.

[00:41:36] No.

[00:41:36] But the scooter really pulled it up.

[00:41:38] It lifts it.

[00:41:39] It's, you know, this happens to you more than me,

[00:41:41] because usually I like to judge the whole movie.

[00:41:43] But with you, five minutes of a movie or 30 seconds.

[00:41:46] If it's brilliant.

[00:41:49] Of 30 seconds of brilliance.

[00:41:51] Yes.

[00:41:51] Can make up for an hour and a half.

[00:41:53] It depends.

[00:41:54] It depends where that 30 seconds of brilliance is put.

[00:41:58] And yeah, sometimes.

[00:41:59] Sometimes.

[00:42:00] Whereas 95 minutes of brilliance.

[00:42:01] I won't say that what you're saying isn't crap.

[00:42:03] And it's a rage.

[00:42:04] Yeah.

[00:42:04] That's what happens.

[00:42:05] Hey, I won't say that that's not true either.

[00:42:07] It's, you know what?

[00:42:08] At the end of the day, it's how the movie makes you feel after you're finished watching

[00:42:12] it.

[00:42:13] It's true.

[00:42:14] You know, but you know what?

[00:42:15] I think the reason why that never got to Mondo is because the scooter ride was at the beginning

[00:42:20] of the movie.

[00:42:21] So they, you know, that's what they should have done.

[00:42:23] They should have left.

[00:42:24] If they would have ended it.

[00:42:26] Yeah.

[00:42:26] They should have book ended it.

[00:42:28] Yeah.

[00:42:28] Boom.

[00:42:29] Double scooter.

[00:42:30] Yeah.

[00:42:31] That would have been brilliant.

[00:42:32] I know.

[00:42:33] Now that's all I want.

[00:42:34] I want Russell Crowe on a scooter twice.

[00:42:37] Well, you do know there's going to be a Pope's Exorcist too, right?

[00:42:40] He better be on a scooter.

[00:42:42] If he's not riding a scooter, it's going to be a rage.

[00:42:44] That's it.

[00:42:45] I'm burning the theater down if there's no scooter.

[00:42:47] Well, there will only be you and me in it.

[00:42:49] So as long as we can get out.

[00:42:51] There we go.

[00:42:53] So not enough scooter.

[00:42:55] Sad, but not enough scooter is yeah.

[00:42:58] All right.

[00:42:58] As in none.

[00:42:59] Yeah.

[00:43:00] Scooter.

[00:43:00] We've got so much.

[00:43:01] We've got so much Russian accent.

[00:43:04] Russell Crowe.

[00:43:04] So not enough.

[00:43:06] Russell, Russian.

[00:43:07] Russell.

[00:43:08] I can't believe you didn't bring that.

[00:43:09] That whole fricking movie.

[00:43:10] Everybody spoke with a bad Russian accent.

[00:43:12] That's usually like the first thing when you're raging on a movie.

[00:43:15] I was already hating everything about it.

[00:43:16] So it's like, I, it's just, it's like, where do you, where do you stop?

[00:43:20] Yeah.

[00:43:20] What do you, then I would have talked about it more.

[00:43:23] It's just like.

[00:43:24] Fair enough.

[00:43:25] Yeah.

[00:43:25] Cause you know, although Russell Crowe did have the best Russian accent in the entire

[00:43:30] group.

[00:43:30] Yes.

[00:43:31] By far.

[00:43:32] Yeah.

[00:43:32] It's better than his Italian from when he was Italian in.

[00:43:37] Pope's Exorcist.

[00:43:38] And then, and yes.

[00:43:40] In Pope's Exorcist or when he was Greek.

[00:43:43] Yes.

[00:43:43] When he was in the Marvel movie.

[00:43:45] Yeah.

[00:43:46] Yeah.

[00:43:46] When he was in the Thor movie.

[00:43:47] Yeah.

[00:43:47] Yeah.

[00:43:48] Yeah.

[00:43:48] When he played Zeus.

[00:43:49] Yeah.

[00:43:49] So, you know what I think it is.

[00:43:52] I think people now are just going to Russell Crowe for his accent ability.

[00:43:56] Maybe.

[00:43:58] Right.

[00:43:58] Cause isn't he Irish?

[00:44:01] He's Australian.

[00:44:02] He's Australian.

[00:44:03] He's Australian.

[00:44:03] He's Irish.

[00:44:04] I don't even know what his accent is.

[00:44:06] I haven't heard him speak in a, in a, in his origin accent.

[00:44:10] He said he Irish.

[00:44:11] I don't know.

[00:44:12] Who knows?

[00:44:12] He's been in some Irish movies.

[00:44:14] He's out Irish.

[00:44:15] Oh, right.

[00:44:16] No, I think Killian Murphy's from Wales, isn't he?

[00:44:18] I thought he was Irish.

[00:44:19] I don't know.

[00:44:20] I'm pretty sure he's Irish.

[00:44:21] I don't know.

[00:44:21] But you know what?

[00:44:21] The important thing is, is that I don't, I haven't heard Russell Crowe's real voice ever.

[00:44:27] I have.

[00:44:27] In any movie.

[00:44:28] Like what movie has he ever spoken in an Australian accent?

[00:44:31] I don't know.

[00:44:32] Think about it.

[00:44:33] Yes.

[00:44:33] I tell you the one person we haven't heard the voice of is Tom Hardy.

[00:44:36] I don't know what his voice is.

[00:44:38] I don't know either.

[00:44:39] It's every single role is completely different.

[00:44:42] You sit there, run them.

[00:44:43] Every single role.

[00:44:44] You guys got a different voice.

[00:44:46] Like completely different.

[00:44:47] Like it's not even close.

[00:44:48] Yeah.

[00:44:49] And isn't he from some like.

[00:44:50] Very senior itching to end this podcast.

[00:44:53] I just want this to end whatever it is.

[00:44:55] What are we talking about?

[00:44:56] We're look at who, who's Russell Crowe is like your favorite actor.

[00:45:01] Yeah, but the music ran out.

[00:45:02] His rage is over.

[00:45:03] We're done.

[00:45:04] Put some more music on.

[00:45:05] No, let's just end.

[00:45:06] Just press, press some music.

[00:45:08] Just end.

[00:45:10] Rage subsiding.

[00:45:18] How about I play Deck the Halls for you?

[00:45:20] No, that's better.

[00:45:22] Now that's rage music.
