Before we dive into the next few seasons of X-FILES, I decided to navigate thru castmember Robert Patrick's other genre movie offerings:
How many of these films were festival hits and HBO channel premieres back in the day?
Why does he consider FBI Agent Doggett to be his favorite role to date?
And how does he handle the various mystery, horror & action movie cliches given his skill sets?
INTRO CLIP:
X-Files Cast Panel Fan Expo San Francisco (Nov 30, 2025)
[00:00:00] This podcast is a production of Unfiltered Studios. If you would like to know more about joining Unfiltered Studios, please visit our website at unfpod.com for more information. Now for each of you guys, and you guys had all different entry points into the world of X-Files, what was your experience with the show prior to jumping off into the show? I had a guest star back in the first season, but they're very small.
[00:00:31] I was kind of forgettable, but anyway. And then they brought me in to Reef Level, and there was just a few people, and I happened to get it. It sort of changed my life. It's incredible. It really is incredible. Yeah. You know, by happenstance, almost in a way, right? And you always feel like a small cog in a big wheel.
[00:00:56] And yet, my association with the show is obviously much less than the rest of the people on the stage. It's been remarkable in many ways that aren't just professional. Do you remember that? Lots of chicks and stuff. It was a crazy time. I mean, the show was a massive, massive hit.
[00:01:21] And I had done The Sopranos and was looking for something to get on TV after that experience. I realized TV was such a great medium that I hadn't really explored. And luckily, the job presented itself. It was a little intimidating knowing that David was kind of leaving, and they were going to create a new character.
[00:01:45] But they created such a great character for me that, you know, I loved it. It was a great time in my life. My wife was having a kid, and I wanted to work in L.A., and the show was in L.A. And so the shooting schedule was going to be there. I wouldn't have to leave, you know, for most of the year. It was exciting.
[00:02:10] But, you know, the fan base was so, like, who's this new guy? Wow. And the Internet was new. And, like, you know, people on the Internet were saying all sorts of stuff. And, gosh, I just looked at it as a job, you know. This is a great job. This wonderful writing. The production value on the show was incredible. It was like making a little mini-movie every week.
[00:02:39] And then I had the opportunity to work with Jillian and Mitch, James Perkins. It was such a great crew and great writing. It was a very, very exciting time. Jillian sent me some flowers. I remember a beautiful bouquet of flowers showed up in my house. You're so nice. And she said, she said, the message was, get some sleep.
[00:03:08] GA. And I didn't realize what she was talking about. Because it was the first time I've done an episodic in that way. And it's really like a factory kind of a situation. I mean, I hate to make it sound like that, but it is. You kind of go in. You punch your time clock at the start on Monday. And you're coming home early a.m. Spot on Saturday morning. Sunday. Yeah. Sunrise.
[00:03:36] I think the X-Files is the only job that I work like 36 hours in one day. You know. It's crazy. And then, I don't know if you remember this, Jillian, but I had, and I don't even know if this is a good thing for the crew or not, but I had 31 forced calls the first year. And I didn't know if that was glitter bad. What does that mean? A forced call. If we have a turnaround. I can't remember what we have at jobs.
[00:04:03] They vary, but I think the standard is sort of a 12-hour turnaround, border to border. Is that correct? Something like that. Something like that. When you wrap to the back. So, what you have to do, you have to, you know, you show up to work, and then you work all day, and then you go home, and then you have to prep for the next day, or you're trying to stay ahead a couple of days of all the dialogue you've got coming up and picking out your big long arms.
[00:04:31] So, if you're working a 17-hour day, say on a Monday, you might get picked up at 4.45 a.m. By the time it's, you know, Friday, the last weekday that you're working, you might be being picked up at, you know, at 2 p.m. because you're going to be working until sunrise or whatever. But they, in order for everybody not to have to work so late, they'll ask the actors to decrease the amount of time between when they show up to work
[00:05:00] and when they come back again. And so, they narrow that. So, force calls means you come back less than your 12-hour turnaround. So, the maximum they can force you is two hours. But they can force you an extra two hours, so it's a 10-hour turnaround. But that doesn't include the travel, and very often the travel is an hour each way, so that means it's an eight-hour, you know what I mean? It gets, you know, and they're meant to pay you extra.
[00:05:26] And if you get, Harry Bringer, one of our production managers would always say, hey, I'm going to buy you that TV tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That meant you were getting a forced call. I've got 31 TVs, thanks. Thank you very much. But it was a crazy grind. And I've got to tell you, Jillian was fantastic at it. I mean, she had it down. There was, I don't know if you mind me saying this, but sometimes you had that cot in between trying to catch a nap every once in a while.
[00:05:56] It was a grueling experience, but very rewarding, exciting, and I had the best time doing it. And, you know, hopefully you guys enjoyed John Doggett. I love John Doggett. It is my favorite character I've ever played. Because he was such a, yeah, I don't get to play a lot of good guys. He had such a good heart.
[00:06:24] He had good, he was integrity, he had good values, he was a good dude. And I loved it. I loved the experience. And that doesn't include, I'm assuming, the prep work you have to do for the next day in that turnaround time. Oh, it's hard. It's hard. I mean, especially in the battle. She has it. I mean, you look at her and go, good God, I'm glad it's you. You're the scientist. Well, let's go. What about you?
[00:06:54] How old are you? Yeah, Annabeth came in. I remember my freshman year of college, it was event television and the X-Files. We would watch it in our dorm lounge, you know what I mean? And it was like, it was this thing. So when I had the opportunity to join the show, also after auditioning my face off, it was a joy and a little intimidating.
[00:07:20] I'm so glad social media did not exist at that point in time. As it does today, because I think it would have been, I mean, we were warmly welcomed, but there was, I mean, maybe events in the past, nostalgic, that I'm sort of, maybe we weren't so warmly welcomed. But now we are.
[00:07:41] Y'all, so once again, we're always talking X-Files.
[00:08:32] And in this particular corner, to start off one of many discussions, obviously I'll go through some other TV shows and movies that the beloved stars, Julian Anderson and David Duchovny have done. But I'm going to get to even a bigger part of the matter and got to give some love to good old Doggett. That's right. The T-1000 from Terminator 2. I gotta let people know which Robert Patrick movies to check out. Now, again, he is a B-movie actor.
[00:09:00] And much like many of these guys, he did just as much stuff that was for festivals and video store shelves as he did for TV and in theaters. And there's a healthy mixture of all of those. And in this case, you know, there's just so much to love. Again, I already had a head start just back in the 2010s. You know, I caught up on plenty of movies that most people, you know,
[00:09:30] either taped off the movie channels or saw at video stores. And so with things to wrap, share, make it up, upload throughout college, I pretty much caught up on all the beloved actors I loved. Everybody from Lou Diamond Phillips to every kind of, you know, direct-to-video B-movie star like Tim Thomerson, what have you. I just, there was plenty of tough guys and martial artists, slashers to go around.
[00:10:00] So I pretty much processed through a lot of that stuff. And Robert Patrick was no exception. I was like, yeah, he's on one of the best shows of all time. And he's in one of the best movies of all time. So check out other stuff the man has done besides just the obvious ones like Die Hard 2 and Copland. You know, he's done so much other stuff. And, you know, so many other great shows like The Unit and Reacher and what have you.
[00:10:27] And it's like, yeah, he's the go-to guy. If you need a colonel, if you need someone's concerned dad, if you need a sheriff, he can play all those different Southern types. He can play all kinds of different turncodes, traitors, even antiheroes. You never know his allegiance. He's always good. But he can cry in command, especially if you've seen him on The Sopranos. He's so good at that.
[00:10:54] And yeah, so we're going to breeze right on through. 34 movies, all in under and out. I promise you, I won't keep you. I'll just get to the good stuff, the good parts. So the first movie on here, I'm going to just sum up. Basically, we got the controversial 1993 movie Fire in the Sky, which was based on a real story of Travis Walton, who claimed to be abducted by aliens in 1975.
[00:11:26] Again, it was a big deal. D.B. Sweeney starred as Travis Walton, had some other bit part and has been actors, you know, up and coming stars like Henry Thomas, Peter Berg, as well as other beloved faces like Kathleen Wilhite, Craig Schaefer and Mr. Rockford Files himself, James Gardner.
[00:11:47] And despite OK direction by Robert Lieberman, Slider's creator and Star Trek writer Tracy Torm adapting it, I have tried several times to get into this movie. It has just never enticed me. I think, again, the production's decent. It just doesn't ever take off. And of course, you know, I don't I am a huge fan of The X-Files. I love its perspective. I love its philosophy.
[00:12:16] I love its creative writing. However, like many people have already, you know, made pretty crystal clear in which I will definitely back. It's not a documentary, guys. I believe there's plenty of government conspiracies. I don't believe in actual ghosts or aliens. I do believe in science. And of course, you have to remember the stuff happening on the show is stuff that's created specifically for its whole premise.
[00:12:44] And that, hey, there's actual stuff that can't be, you know, proven going on. So there is some supernatural current to that. And, you know, it's just there for sci-fi action and horror reasons. And I get it. Now with this, you know, this coincidentally came out the same year as The X-Files premiering. And so it was part of the whole UFO alien craze. And I get it. Despite decent cinematography by Bill Pope and a score by Mark Eisen, it's just never grabbed me.
[00:13:13] It won four different Saturn Awards, though. But yeah, I've always been kind of in the negative camp. I've just always found it just very sour, just never builds into any tension, nothing ever reasonable. So it's a pass for me, despite Robert Patrick playing a good guy and supporting role. It's just never entailed any dedication. So next up, we're getting into a neo-noir mystery film, or shall we say an erotic drama.
[00:13:43] Born Mr. Robert Patrick, The Cool Surface. So I've heard about this for years. It even got a theatrical release in the Philippines. Some sites claim it came out in 92, others claim it's in 94. Either way, it sticks. It does a good job of keeping your attention the whole time, but it's just sadly very predictable. It's the typical love triangle.
[00:14:09] A writer in Hollywood trying to finish up his novel. He's attracted to a beautiful woman who's in an abusive relationship. His life starts imitating art. But let's be honest, it came out during the softcore drama phase. So as a result, the only reason people checked this out was because they want to see the beloved TV actress, Jerry Hatcher, naked.
[00:14:39] And you get that, but it's not enough to recommend the movie. And I'm glad I waited as long as I did on this. Like, this was always a movie where I'm like, I can't justify this. I love all kinds of movies. So bad they're good. Deliberately good. Cheesy fun. Trashy fun. And I could not justify it in any way, shape, or form. Especially, despite it having some other welcome B-movie actors like Matt McCoy from Seinfeld,
[00:15:06] Cyril O'Reilly, who many have seen in Airplane, Black Dog, as well as plenty of other B-movies that you've probably seen on USA Network or TNT. Yep. This did not deliver. It is watchable. And production value is decent. It's clearly low budget, but it definitely looks like something that could have easily been on a, you know, anthology. Something like Alfred Hitchcock Presents or Tales from the Crypt.
[00:15:35] It honestly, besides the explicit content, the only reason you want to see this is also just because Robert Patrick's bald blonde. And it gets to be a handsome, long-haired writer. So there you go. But yeah, it doesn't really deliver, unfortunately. So onto the way better movie, A Body Shop. It just came out in 94.
[00:15:57] It's by Dimitri Logastis, who's another fellow B-movie guy who pretty much did a lot of stuff for drive-ins and directed video. Everything from Slaughterhouse Rock to the new kickboxer movies to garbage like Jiu-Jitsu to Lost Angel. Yeah, he's a go-to Greek guy who's done all kinds of stuff. Always on budget and on time.
[00:16:23] But yeah, so the spooking. The upload that was on YouTube wasn't the best. So just be warned, you're not getting the best sound quality. Big cast, though. Kim Mayuri from St. Elsewhere. Michelle Johnson, who you've seen in everything. Blame it on Rio. The Love Boat, what have you.
[00:16:53] Far and Away. And then you got Ray Wise. Many are going to know him from shows like Reaper. And Peaks. Franchise. Jeepers Creepers 2. And we got Jonathan Banks himself. Beverly Hills Cop. And the Breaking Bad Saga. Also from Airplane. So, yeah. Stack cast. Robert Patrick gets to play Mickey Dane. A photographer obsessed with the singer Chelsea.
[00:17:24] And he attempts to capture him. Often led to trouble. He gets the chance to photograph her lookalike. When her and her devil were found murdered, he becomes a suspect. So, very straightforward. It, of course, capitalized on Patrick's fame from T2. So, it was so cheesy seeing whenever this was at. I would see this VHS sometimes just on rare, like, just movie archive sites. I never found it. So, I never checked it out back then.
[00:17:53] It was just one of those, like, interesting. If I wasn't a B-movie guy or fan of the talent, I would have never wanted to seek it out. But, surprisingly better than it has any right to be. It's still pretty average. But it has some meta moments. Just life imitating art. And it's clearly done by someone who loves noir. So, kudos to them. It just wishes you had a bigger budget. But, time goes by pretty fast. It's not boring.
[00:18:18] So, if you're a directed video or limited release or indie guy, you might like it. It is funny, though, how some of the photos appear to be Robert Patrick in the police uniform from T2. So, unintentionally amusing there. Next one. Now, this one I have seen a few times. This is a lot of fun.
[00:18:36] So, many of us here are fans of Howard Pion, the late great, who's done everything from movies like killer cyborgs like Nemesis, well, Jean-Claude Van Damme's Cyborg, as well as Omega Doom. And plenty of other movies starring Wishmaster star Andrew D. Vop, Blade Runner stars like Brian James, Merkert Howard, as well as Ticker, which is probably the best movie Steven Seagal made. That's not a second decision.
[00:19:06] Because he's not in it much. So, he's done his share of the Kickboxer sequels, Arcade, and some of the other Charles Band Full Moon movies. But he's missed just because he always had stunning camera work and bizarre but interesting ideas that could have easily been an episode of a TV show had he had a bigger budget. This one builds up some intrigue just because he's clearly making use of all the foreign locations.
[00:19:34] And this came out during the craze when everyone wanted an East meets West kind of movie like Rising Sun, Big Trouble in Old China, stuff like that. Showdown in Little Tokyo. In this case, you know, it came out in 94 and they were just trying to predict the Hong Kong political tensions in 97.
[00:19:54] But so in this case, Robert Patrick is, you know, it's basically covering what was to be the sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China. And Robert Patrick is not only an assassin who takes on a high-ranking People's Liberation Army officer named General Wu.
[00:20:23] He decides to flee Hong Kong and enter the city as British rules expires. But lo and behold, there's something bigger going on and he has to have a change of heart. He gets remaining involved with this other witness played by Ming-Na Wen as she was about to be on ER. She's since done other stuff like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fresh Off the Boat, The Joy Luck Club, and of course, Star Wars The Mandalorian. It was about the same year, coincidentally, she did the Street Fighter movie.
[00:20:52] So, yeah, I've always been a huge fan and I like how she's been able to actually do some ass-kicking here. Not much of it here. There's some decent love scenes and Tim Thomerson gets to play another government spook. Andrew D'Voff and Brian James, you know, Albert Pion regulars. Again, Albert Pion uses everybody from Jean-Claude Van Damme to Ice-T to just all kinds of other just B-movie actors
[00:21:21] who pretty much had like one or two like big things, like everybody from Michael Dudikoff to Kathy Ironman to Christopher Lambert. He does what he wants to do and he's a B-movie guy. But this movie, you know, especially if you collect a lot of stuff by the Lionsgate crowd, this one goes by really fast, makes good use of its political setting. And even though it's got political tension, it's not like a straight up movie.
[00:21:50] It's kind of more of a Manchurian Candidate fun action film and it gets the job done. There's plenty of decent ass-kicking fight scenes and it's cool seeing all the actors play against type. It's just a shame that this movie isn't seen by many. Now let's get to the second best movie on this list. Gotta go with Zero Tolerance. You know, I, again, anytime I looked up an actor on IMDb, I always knew they had done just about everything. And in this case, you know, Patrick was no stranger.
[00:22:17] He did all kinds of movies for every kind of company. And in this case, you know, PM Entertainment, which, if the creators have sadly passed, it was a Las Vegas founded group that did everything from Lethal Weapon and Terminator knockoffs to Die Hard Clones and all kinds of other movies that were aping just bigger budget Hollywood blockbusters.
[00:22:43] They were notable and infamous for, you know, making a lot of these movies be aired on TNT or even premiere on HBO just because they had really awesome car-flipping stunts. And they acquired everybody to be in their movies from martial artists like Don the Dragon Wilson and Richard Norton to other tough guys like Michael Madsen.
[00:23:09] Just a who's who of B-movie and has-been character actors. You know, this one, I just, there's no way I wasn't going to see that. You know, obviously I knew about other actors who were, you know, theatrical briefly and then quickly filled up movies with video store. Cheesy fun, like Jeff Speakman and Jeff Wincott who were regulars. And it was interesting. It's like, you see this giant poster of Robert Patrick in a government, you know, FBI agent suit running away from an explosion. I'm like, yeah, I gotta see this.
[00:23:40] It's went theatrical in Japan. Whoa. You know, so pretty fun movie. It's basically a Punisher, Death Wish type film, but it goes by so fast. The music's well scored. The bad guys actually get a moment in the sun. Mike Fleetwood from Fleetwood Mac gets to do some decent acting here. Other people are going to light up because they'll see Titus Williver, best known for being the man in black on Lost, Silas Adams on Deadwood,
[00:24:09] and, you know, the title role on Bosch, as well as other Ben Affleck films, as well as Sons of Anarchy and Law and Order SVU. You know, he's always been a go-to guy. And so it's interesting seeing another actor who was just now starting out and bit movie parts and TV guest spots. You know, it was around the same time he'd done some other stuff, and he got a chance to be a bad guy in this. And he, you know, you hate him the minute you see him,
[00:24:38] and you look forward to his comeuppance. But this has a lot of shootouts at casinos to make up for its lack of realism. Just pretty much it follows the beats of any good action movie. Just he tried to put the Mafia boss away. The guy got away from his goons. He's fun, slow-motion shootouts. And you feel every bullet. There's a good foley. Way better than it has any right to be,
[00:25:06] considering how PM's got their share of duds, as well as fun, cheesy, fun action films. And this avoids being lowbrow, surprisingly, and just has a fun, hip, yacht rock kind of score. And I wish it could have been bigger. But hey, if you are Robert Patrick Completus, this is a must. So again, it's the second best. But don't worry, we're going to get to the best.
[00:25:34] And we get, this is where Robert gets into his phase, where he stars in a lot of indie films that premiere on HBO and Cinemax back when they did that, where they would just get, you know, trying to access all kinds of content. They would buy stuff that was either otherwise going to be left on a video store shelf or be released at, you know, a festival. In this case, they kind of got a movie that kind of played at a few theaters, you know, at festivals.
[00:26:00] Shot in Mexico, but never found an actual handler. But yeah, HBO decided to premiere it because they had to deal with Prism Entertainment, which distributed a lot of indie stuff in the 90s. This film is quite a dud. I think Turner Home Entertainment put some money into it as well, but I can't find any extra stuff on that. It's interesting finding how there's tons of trivia about it here on Wikipedia, surprisingly.
[00:26:26] But yeah, it's always just been just a very dull sit for me. I like a lot of the cast. You got Vladimir Kulig from The 13th Warrior and MacGyver. You got freaking Charlotte Lewis from The Golden Child. Yeah, I have much respect for her. She's kind of since become a Me Too face. But yeah, she was in Dolph Lundgren's Man of War,
[00:26:56] as well as other just indie stuff like Navajo Blues, Mutual Needs. But despite other stuff like Storyville and Excessive Force, she's always just kind of been a B-lister, unfortunately. But I just don't remember much here. It's just always been just a very annoying, deadliest game ever played, hard target type movie. So I'm surviving the game. But unlike any of those movies,
[00:27:25] it just doesn't bring anything to the hunter be hunted premise. So Patrick gets an okay fight scene, but by then you will have lost any kind of interest. And Peter Weller apparently was method acting, but as a result, that does him a disservice. Now again, Peter Weller, there's another guy who will always be respected for his cult movies, his acclaimed movies like Naked Lunch, Robocop, and then can go on to have all kinds of recurring roles on stuff like Star Trek Enterprise 24
[00:27:54] and even go back and become a history professor. So, you know, always a respectable guy, always at conventions, plenty of innumerable movies. He brings it, but it's just not enough. The premise just falls flat on its face before it begins. So avoid. Then we get into another movie that was a Cinemax HBO film. It's since been released by Vinegar Syndrome due to its schlocky love, but basically it's about a serial killer
[00:28:24] killing workers near a construction site with tons of voodoo possession. And it's trying to ape all kinds of 90s movies. It's by Scott McGinnis, who's done all kinds of weird movies like Joysticks, Thunder Alley, and Sky Bandits. And yeah, she's done some other acting. He's Mr. Adventure and Star Trek Free.
[00:28:51] But yeah, he's an okay actor turned director, but this movie just frustrates. It has the gory and nudity, but it's just, again, it's not enough despite its intriguing premise. You're going to see it because of the cool looking cover with a possessed looking Robert Patrick holding a blade, but I'm telling you, it's a waste of time. It has a real estate developer possessed by these violent Navajo tribesmen spirits. So probably not the most politically correct movie.
[00:29:19] Joy and Apacula is in this. He never turns down a paycheck, but yeah, you're only going to watch it because you're Patrick completist. So let's get on to the best movie on this list. And I said it, Asylum. This is an HBO world premiere. This is awesome. Robert Patrick is a private investigator who's disturbed mentally by his father's suicide, and he goes undercover at the Mental Institute to discover the murder of a friend of his.
[00:29:47] And James Seale is no stranger to NDB movies. He's still working. I've done a few other stuff, like Momentum for Sci-Fi Channel, Frottle, which was an Adrian Paul film. But yeah, he's done a few other just HBO kind of movies, and this is really solid. It's a psycho thriller, but it's, again,
[00:30:13] it's got very impressive just restraint, and it feels bigger than it actually is for what could have been only like $1 or $2 million, maybe $10,000, depending on the deflation at the time. It goes bigger than it has any right to be. Malcolm McDowell is the main key to all this. It could have easily been a Twilight Zone or Tales from the Crypt episode. That's how contained it is. I always would just see it popping up just because Henry Kipson's in it
[00:30:42] as the main evil mastermind. Sarah Douglas from Superman 2 is one of the other just psych ward gals. Freaking Debra Wilson from Mad TV gets a serious role with some occasional humor. And yeah, she's just as gorgeous as she was back then. But yeah, Patrick is just really bringing it. He's like, I want to know everything there is to know about this place. And he acquires different disguises.
[00:31:10] He adds a little extra amount of depth to this movie, but man, there's some fire, you know, just pyrotechnics in here. There's some good, just sped up edits, as well as gaffing to make it look creepier than it actually is. You know, just really good production value and camera tricks always involving, never static, never restrained by the budget.
[00:31:40] Definitely the best one. I don't know why it took me so long to get to this. I just wasn't able to find a copy back in the day. And I'm glad I did now because it's relatively tame. You know, there are some knife fights, you know, near the end as you do. But it's basically Twilight. I would say Twilight Zone meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It doesn't focus too much on the other guys, but they do characterize all the people, just like any good prison movie. This psych ward movie doesn't have any
[00:32:10] just overdone acting or anything. It's like, yeah, no, here's a creepy mystery. It's only horror just because we're having some psychological cat and mouse stuff go here. But instead of just being a gore fest, we're just gonna show that, hey, something's on sound happening here and we gotta figure out what's going on. And next up, probably the most lowbrow movie on this list, Tactical Assault. Basically, it was by Mark Griffiths who was known for his
[00:32:39] TNA comedies and other military men on a mission movies for HBO. Another one. I don't know if it was made directly for HBO, but it definitely played on one of those channels and stock footage of all these different explosions has been used many times. Basically, an Air Force pilot finds himself fighting for his life as a former Gulf War colleague and ex-friend decides to get revenge on him for leaving for dead. Despite some utter star power, it's,
[00:33:09] it feels like a canon film production. It's just, they had to get Rutger Dower to be the bad guy and Robert Patrick to be the straight man and it's just, unfortunately, I can't fully recommend it, but you're going to see it out of more curiosity, especially if you like something over the top like any Iron Eagle or Top Gun knockoff. So, that's what it is ultimately. Then we're going to do a fun Indiana Jones Treasure of the Sierra Madre type action noir thriller
[00:33:38] that is the Vero Letter, which is actually based on a book of the same name. I mean, it's cool seeing Robert Patrick and Fred Ward play off against each other. Basically, just, they discovered an unknown mind city, some other sexual and greed intrigue that ensues, highly recommended. Not for me, for everybody, but if you are a fan of this actor we were discussing,
[00:34:07] this is a must-see. It just has some very fun surprises, especially for noir and action adventure lovers. And we get into an official HBO movie. Now, this was helmed by Ernest Dickerson, former cinematographer to Spike Lee, who's done so many solid TV movies and since helmed various episodes of Dexter, The Walking Dead, and The Wire, as well as shows like
[00:34:38] and other movies like Godfather of Harlem and Never Die Alone with DMX. But, yeah, one of the first I saw by him, I was already a huge fan of Courtney B. Vance just from Hunt for Red October and Tuskegee Airman, Preacher's Wife, Hamburger Hill, is like, yeah, that's a goat. Tom and Huck, he's always been a go-to character actor. He gets to spot in the sun. Basically, two police
[00:35:07] detectives played by Vance as well as Virginia Madsen have to take on the Ku Klux Klan and keep one of the racist members' sons who saw too much and is wanted dead by the Klan alive. yeah, if you can get past the racial language, it's a big all-star cast, you know, and it just has plenty of surprises. Like, you open up, you know, William Sadler's like the dead man
[00:35:38] who, you know, he's like, oh, I keep my son alive, but yeah, then you got freaking David Keith as a traitor who's, you know, basically an insider for the Klan and it has a lot of shades of reality to it and yeah, Robert Patrick is the main Ku Klux Klan member and he is creepy. You'll look forward to his come up, it's at the end. But the film just does a good way of containing it, you know, it's just, it's even been considered black noir just because
[00:36:07] it is just very ratcheted tension and it just makes great use of its premise in between the car chases and just, it feels just like some legit reality was brought to it just because it's just so taught and well detailed. And let's move on to Perfect Assassins, another HBO Cinemax action film, a government specialist on terrorism, wages war on a group of criminals who might be connected to a professor
[00:36:37] he once knew. So this is one of a must-see for all Robert Patrick fans. You know, Andrew McCarthy has always been debated on his acting skills, but basically he became a B-movie guy throughout the 90s like many of the Brat Pack guys. You know, St. Elmo's Fire was pretty much the last. And so, yeah, Portia de Rossi, pre-fame, rest developments in this, Nick Mancuso, who's another B-movie guy.
[00:37:08] Yeah. Ever since Under Siege and Rapid Fire, he apparently became difficult to work with, so he was restricted to stuff like this, but this movie takes out the trash and Robert Patrick is a solid secondary lead. You know, just, I, if you're a spy and a crime drama junkie, you're gonna have fun just with all these different action films and Patrick gets some fun one-liners, so basically he's doing his best Schwarzenegger, but starring
[00:37:37] Patrick, the other Terminator actor instead of Arnold, which is welcome. And so, then we get into another PM Entertainment production. This time, it actually not only premiered on HBO, but got distributed by them, so double win. A $7 million budget? It's just cool seeing Robert Patrick once again, you know, this is the year after he's in Copland, and he gets to be in another Crooked Cop movie. The film pretty much just makes up for the lack of surprises by PM just having
[00:38:07] some better scripting and just showing you again, just the SWAT team that sometimes gets a little too trigger happy for their own good, just now wanted dead by some other crooked cops who aren't playing their game of deceit anymore. And it's just, it takes out the trash, and before you know it, it's done, you're like, jeez, that went by fast? It's not half bad. And yeah, Louis Mandalore also stars in this, but mainly this is a
[00:38:37] good chance to just see Michael Rooker being a good guy role. You know, you've seen him be good and stuff like, you know, just Days of Thunder, but, you know, now he's made a comeback by starring all the James Gunn films like Guardians of the Galaxy and Slither, but it's just cool seeing him be a good cop here, you know, after he'd done stuff like Henry Diary of a Killer, and he's been another stuff with Robert Patrick, same kind of actors. They play all these southern types, and they play all these
[00:39:06] tough guys and everyday types, and they, you know, often get typecasts and bad guys, but boy, how did they do it well? We'll return after these messages.

[00:41:05] Hi, I'm James Gavsey, and on the Who Would Win show, me and my co-host Ray ignore anything important happening in the outside world and debate fictional battles between characters from comics, movies, and video games. We got a new show every week, and almost always am I the winner. Yeah, not true, Ray. In the past, we've discussed such matches as Captain America versus Darth Vader, Solid Snake versus the Iron Giant, classic matchups like Robocop versus Terminator, and even the Muppets versus Sesame Street. That one was crazy.
[00:41:34] So if you're a fan of geek culture and love a spirited debate, check out the Who Would Win show wherever you get your podcasts, or check us out at whowouldwinshow.com. So, and let's get on to the faculty. This is probably the most popular movie on this list. I'm sorry, I was never a fan. Never, ever, never cared for it. I know other Rodriguez guys like it. I much like the whole screen craze never got interested in me,
[00:42:04] never cared for it. Despite a huge cash, Sean Hattotzi, Laura Harris, Loretta Wood, Clyde DeVall, I would often, unfortunately, because this is on USA and Cypher channel all the time, I would get it mixed up with other stuff like Final Destination and even freaking disturbing behavior. Before you say, Cam, you idiot, here's the thing. You just were commenting onto it. They just had similar kind of just camera angles and mystery.
[00:42:34] I just compare them in that you take away the big budget, it could have easily been a Twilight Zone episode or you know, X-Files episode. So, that's why I go with this. I think it's the weakest of this just because the CGI wasn't that great. Robert Patrick got to play one of the people taken over by alien parasites at this inhabited high school and I just never dug the
[00:43:04] tension despite Marco Beltrami's score being pretty good. I was always like, meh. But it's got its fans, so to each their own. Here's a movie next up that I didn't give it a chance the longest time, but I finally sucked it out years later and then we saw it coincidentally some other time and I was like, you know, it's not half bad. future born identity writer William Blake Heron made this indie and it feels like a stage play. He's done other TV shows like The Lazarus
[00:43:33] Man as well as worked on other stuff like Role Models, the comedy, and doing a lot of TV stuff. But yeah, this is a little indie film he did where basically the patriarch of a family so in the 60s leaves his estate to his family and there's some utter deceit in this unusual family as the reunited big all-star cast, Asaya
[00:44:03] Washington, Chris Nash, Joanna Wally, and of course Olivia Diabo, Jane Addams, but freaking Robert Patrick was in it so I was always more really curious. Martin Sheen is basically a featured cameo. He's the patriarch who passed away and it's just a very intriguing film that it's more of a drama but there's a bit of a thriller element to it in. Yeah, it's just very interesting just seeing the deceit under this dysfunctional family but
[00:44:33] and let's go on to another movie but yeah, that was a movie that Texas Funeral was just always on something like CW or UPN. It was just one of those random indies that just came on. You're like, I might as well watch this for free. I see it at the video store all the time. It's like, you know what? That wasn't half bad. So now let's go to a Canadian produced film called Mexico City. It stars Stacey Edwards of In the Company of Men,
[00:45:02] Chicago Hope, and Primary Colors fame. She's another just gal who I've just recognized in a bunch of TV stuff and Lord Patrick's in here and this movie gets to be a fun just kind of on the run kind of movie. So if you want something kind of like The Fugitive or just any kind of just, you know, Stranger in a Strange Land kind of premise, this will do the trick. It's got some other supporting actors, but yeah, it's just an interesting conspiracy filler while
[00:45:31] looking for a gal looks for a missing brother during a holiday in Mexico City. Exactly what it says. Decent one-time watch and we get to another debt on this list. You know, Dimension Films loved enlisting Robert Patrick and so he got to be in. I've loved plenty of other just movies that are knockoffs of better westerns like Young Guns and Tombstone. I even have a soft spot for Wyatt Earp, but that's a different story. And so lo and behold,
[00:46:02] we got another Save the Town under High Noon Magnificent Seven film, despite utilizing Dylan McDermott of The Practice fame and Rachel Cook, Tom Skerritt, even freaking Alfred Molina is a bad guy and Randy Travis, as well as, you know, I'm not an Ashton Kutcher fan, but he has nothing to do. Usher, forget about it, never fan. Surprisingly doesn't distract, and so then we got freaking
[00:46:31] James Vandenbrief, who I do think is a decent actor, despite absolutely hating Dawson's Creek. Yeah, Texas Rangers, this is almost always on, like every holiday season on AMC Network, and it's just forgettable. It was always one of those, I would see people mention it, how it was like, reshot by the Weinstein Company, had a few other big part actors from all kinds of comedies in this serious action western, Steve Miner, the Friday the
[00:47:00] 13th guy, directed it, you know, and it just, it did not stand out, it's just, it's always kind of a flat, flat movie, but it is what it is. Now let's go on to another movie that was a video store favorite, I would always see this promoted here, had that cool neo-noir thriller, it stars Robert Patrick, as well as Jennifer Esposito, bit parts by Mike Starr from Goodfellas and Sabrina Teenage Witch, Melissa Bajon Hart. There's no way I wasn't not going to
[00:47:30] see this, you know, man, it's like, I was totally going to see it, because like, it had so many other bit part actors in this, this totally could have been theatrical, it just, it didn't go there, but this is a fun double-crossing movie, just, you can turn your brain off, but really just have fun with it, like, if you are a Patrick fan, you're absolutely going to want to see this one, Call Meany from freaking Star Trek's in this, Vito Rujanis, he's another guy who's
[00:47:59] my, even Mike Haggerty, it's just an unusual, just kind of reminds me of other stuff like Duel, U-Turn, even Tequila Sunrise, you could argue those are better movies, but I love it, I love the times, there's nothing real in this, but the money. So, long story short, a woman is released from prison and heads home to outwit a local mob boss and pull off the scam of a lifetime. So, yeah, this has some okay gunplay and
[00:48:29] double crossing, you're going to want to see it again, and it's just so wild how she's a hitchhiker and she, you know, ex-con on the run, she's very attractive being how she stood for a spasito, and she ends up basically just recruiting this video store clerk who needs some excitement in his life. Patrick's actually pretty handsome in this, and
[00:48:59] there's plenty of sexual tension and other stuff. It could have been a little more over the top, but for what it does, it provides plenty of kick-ass stuff. The acting's good enough, you can buy into this concept. And we get into Angels Don't Sleep Here. This is another movie. It's not worthy of the 2 out of 10 star rating, but it is a convoluted, just 2 a.m. kind of B-movie. A man accused of murder and manipulating. Into a Web of Deceit is
[00:49:30] thought to be dead, brother, plans revenge on those who try to kill him. It's very convoluted. It's got a huge all-star cast, Kelly Rutherford, Roy Scheider as the mayor, Carrie Wuhar as the doctor. And there's plenty of shootouts in this. What's so funny is overseas, they titled it as a sequel to Backflash, and it's like, it's got nothing in common, but you're a Robert Patrick fan, and you get to see him in a suit holding a gun. It is a fun,
[00:50:00] yet convoluted picture. I just turned my brain off and had fun with it. And we get into another stinker on this list. Let's talk about 2002's pavement. So yeah, this film, not so good. It was a common, re-airing TV movie that aired on Lifetime. Basically, detective and a wilderness expert track a serial killer in San Francisco. The movie's just let down, well, it's too busy trying to get everything done instead of build up some
[00:50:30] tension and build a cool atmosphere. And I like Lauren Hawley, but neither she or Patrick have any chemistry, and some people thought it was reasonable, but yeah, it just never took off for me. Patrick pretty much spends most of the movie just kidnapped, being tortured by the bad guy. Lauren finally saves him, but I'm just like, eh. Seen it before, it just reminds me of lesser seven knockoffs, and I love
[00:51:00] seven, don't get me wrong. And let's go into first to die. So I always saw this just listed at video stores. It was an NBC TV movie of the week based on author James Patterson's one of his first women's murder club books. I'm a huge James Patterson fan. on a bad day, he can be so over the top and ridiculous. On a good day, he can be some fun, sometimes trashy fun, but he delivers the goods every time.
[00:51:30] High ratcheted tension. So this is a shot in Canada movie by Highlander and Razorback, you know, Colt B movie director, oh, what's his name? Russell Mulcahy. You've seen his work everywhere from Teen Wolf to Tells from the Crypt. I just always saw this and boy, how did it have a stack cast? You had freaking Jill Bellows from Ally McBill, you had Carly Pope, you had Megan
[00:52:00] Gallagher who's been on everything, Larry Sanders and Millennium, you had freaking B movie star herself Angie Everhart and oh boy, was she smoking. That's right, the model turned actress. Pam Greer is surprisingly in this a lot as one of the other detectives. You even get Mitch Pelleggie, so there's an X-Files connection. Skinner himself is in here, spouting exposition. Sean Young's in here, she does not annoy. Tracy Pollins from Family Ties makes an
[00:52:29] okay detective lead. But yeah, I was basically I just knew, hey, this was either going to be decent or whatever, and it was pretty much whatever. Robert Patrick is a highlight though. He gets to play basically one of the scheming bad guys. He's all bearded, and he's like, hey, I got the sexy wife, don't you mess with me, detective, don't you question me. So he steals the show in an otherwise average movie
[00:52:59] to the filmmaker's credit. They keep it running. It's just sadly very average, but in all fairness, they keep it going. And unfortunately, it's so funny how it's rated R. It's clearly not for kids, but it's a light PG-13 at best. There's a gunshot at the end, but it's no different than what you would see on SVU late at night. So whatever. Another just movie, or again, I read a lot
[00:53:29] of the Alex Cross books. I've read a few other James Patterson book series. I never unfortunately read Women's Murder Club, but I saw the show and that was approved by him and that was cool. So it definitely feels like a Patterson novel, so I don't know if it followed the book at all, but it just kind of doesn't go much anywhere and then near the end it has the inevitable just everyone starts shooting at each other, getting in fights and finding out murder secrets and you're like, okay, whatever. That was
[00:53:59] watchable, but I'm not going to remember anything about it, even as a fan, like it just didn't really stand out. So they keep it running smoothly, but it doesn't leave a lasting impression. Then we get to Autopsy, which had a terrible looking poster, but surprisingly was watchable, but also sadly average. So this stars Hallmark, CW Queen, Jessica Lowns,
[00:54:28] the annoying Band of Brothers actor Ross McCall, that accent of his, nails on a chalkboard, never cared for. I once met the co-star of this, Robert Lissardo, it's also got Michael Bowen from Kill Bill, but yeah, Patrick gets to play one of the other evil, mad scientist doctors and it gets the job done as another just unusual, psycho thriller experimentation movie, but not so much body horror, but it also
[00:54:58] just is a little restricted, a little just when they were embracing digital in the 2000s, so just not quite there yet. And we get into Alien Trespass, which is by X-Files director R.W. Goodwin, and it's pretty much making fun of 50s drive-in technicolor films, it's a parody, it's like, hey, an alien crashes and a waitress must recapture the monster. I knew it was campy, you know, Robert Patrick's playing the sheriff, the other co-stars include Eric McCormick from freaking Will and
[00:55:28] Grace, Jenna Baird, who you might know from, oh, goodness, backtrack with Adrian Brody, as well as, she's an Australian actress, but she's best known for the 4400 and All Saints, so, good honor, still in alien territory, I see what they did there. Yeah, this film was just let down, just too on the nose, trying too hard to be wacky, despite commitment by the production and the cast,
[00:55:59] so the only thing I can recommend is like, hey, if you want to watch any movie on this list, it's free on a lot of those YouTube channels, and to be fair, it also is PG, so you can watch it with the kiddos, they might even like it in a naked gun kind of way, I personally was just like, meh, whatever, and we're going to the Black Waters of Echoes Pond, so, stars, screen queen herself, Daniel Harris, that's right, from freaking, oh, you know,
[00:56:28] Halloween movies, Last Boy Scout, the Hatchet films, yeah, I didn't watch this for the longest time, just because the poster just looked like shit, but, I saw it, when prepping for this, and I liked it, not, I liked it a lot, it was just a lot of fun, Robert Patrick is quite a producer, because clearly he's bringing so much to this, James Duvall from Independence Day is a decent lead, pretty much this leads from one murderous reveal to the next, future screen queen, Marcia Monroe has a
[00:56:58] bit part in this, clearly written by a guy, but the film has a good sense of just, let's just have fun, and then let's throw in a weird portal that has on, unleashes all these different creatures, it's all part of a board game, and it's the worst friend reunion ever, everybody's trying to kill each other, but there's some fantasy elements to making fun of what would otherwise amount to a slasher homage slash comedy, a lot of fun, but just wacky AF, then we get to
[00:57:28] five minutes in New York, this was an international movie where two Turkish agents go to New York City to capture a terrorist with the help of the FBI and New York police, when things go wrong, the agents must take matters into their own hands, yeah, this was just another just Turkish singer and actor making a movie in New York with some international talent, you know, Gina Gershon and Danny Glover also amount to the cast and don't make much of a difference, Robert Patrick is his
[00:57:57] usual competent, you know, bureaucrat self, but is underused, and unfortunately, it doesn't have much action or intriguing stuff, ultimately is let down by a lack of surprises, then we go on to easily the worst movie on this list that is in the words of one of my podcast buddies, Lee Russell, this movie sucked donkey balls,
[00:58:26] and he's right, this film sucks, I was never crazy about Zombieland, but I get the appeal of that versus this movie, which apparently was taken away from director Ruben Flesher, and just thrown out there, I geeked out at first because I saw the trailer and I was like, oh wow, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, and freaking Nick Nolte and Robert Patrick are part of this untouchables type gang, you know, based off real life people trying
[00:58:56] to take down real life gangster Mickey Cohen, you know, played by a career worse performance by Sean Penn, Nick Nolte's past his prime here, and he's great in other stuff lately, but man, here they're just letting him belt out lines to where he's just crocking out his lines, it's not great, and yeah, it's just, I have seen it uncut, I've seen it utter casually, just while going through just random movie channels, it just doesn't
[00:59:26] deliver, talk about it, just a chopped up movie, just, there's so many better things, like The Untouchables, Mulholland Falls, other neo-noir stuff, but yeah, you waste a huge cast, everybody from Muriel Enos, to Michael Pena, and even Emma Stone, career worse for everybody, Ryan Gosling was given nothing to do, Josh Brolin is trying, but again, the script won't compute, Holt McCollin is here, you might know
[00:59:56] him from various David Fincher works, it's just wasted, Robert Patrick, again, he does his thing, he's unaffected by it, just because like Anthony Mackie and Brolin, you know, he's a pro, he's done this for years, but boy howdy, he just, you pretty much, he maybe shoots one or two guys at the end, but you're just like, man, just kill me now. Let me get into a very underrated porn star biopic,
[01:00:25] Linda Lovelace biopic from 2013 starring Amanda Seyfried in the title role, this is very intriguing, sporting cast includes Peter Sarsgaard, Chloe Sivani, Sean Stone, Chris Noth, Hank Azaria, and this pretty much just gets down to it, it gives you an idea of the graphic stuff without showing you actually too much graphic news, it's kind of like the other stuff about Betty Page and what have you, just my people got into the sex industry, and why she
[01:00:55] was basically exploited, but the film just has good social commentary without becoming actual smut, so I applaud that. Some other decent performances by other actors, yeah, pretty good movie. And next up, Helions, this is another movie I saw, this is by IFC Midnight, and gets to be a fun slasher slash home invasion movie, Robert
[01:01:25] Patrick's here basically as the reliable sheriff helping the main gal being taunted, there's lots of shotgun shootouts, there's lots of creepy kids, it's not half bad, surprisingly people who I thought would like this, other than bloody disgusting, didn't like it, but this is better than a lot of recent IFC Midnight stuff, it's just not good enough to be at top of the movie list,
[01:01:54] but it's a decent Sunday 2am movie. So then we get into Eloy's Unintentionally Resaw This, I couldn't remember if I've seen it or not, this stars a pre-the boys fame, Chase Crawford, this also has Eliza Dishku, who I never cared for, sorry not sorry, and then it has Rock Patrick as another creepy psych ward doctor doing some body horror, so this movie ends up being pretty damn average, it's surprisingly
[01:02:24] not as graphic as I remember as I remember it being or tasteless, but it's still kind of like eh, whatever, ick. And so then we get onto the last rampage, also known as Escape Gary Tyson based on a true life outlaw who escaped from Tyson's 1978 prison, made plenty of other, it's basically a real life western, big all-star cast, great direction by Dwight H Little, best known
[01:02:53] for 90s action and horror movies like Halloween 4, we're at 1600 with Wesley Snipes, Free Will E2 and Rapid Fire, and doing various episodes of Nikita and Prison Break and Bones, he is awesome and brings the drama, Bruce Davison is awesome as the sheriff in this, John is decent support, Chris Browning is also in
[01:03:22] here as a real life mass murderer and Robert Patrick is just awesome, he gives a voice to this without making you feel sorry for him, you just kind of understand why he will always be an outlaw and always try to escape so many prisons, Hedogram is good as good as the galley wants to go back to, yeah, it's just very intriguing, so much better than it has any right to believe,
[01:03:51] and it's just, I don't know why it's not better known, it should totally be better known, it delivers, it's definitely a neo-western must see, alright guys, we're getting to the end of the tunnel, so then we get to Edge of Fear, which is a 2018 thriller, it's labeled as action, but there's not much action, maybe adventure, so a couple's weekend vacation as a secluded
[01:04:21] cabin turns into a fight for survival with a bunch of sociopathic killers, basically just interrupt their reading, so it's a bit of a prison escape movie as well as a home invasion and kill or be killed type premise, Art Patrick introduces himself at the start, it was gonna be on my two watch list just because it was a who's who
[01:04:51] of prison break and prison break director Bobby Roth even directed this, so I knew I was in trouble because there's three different writers attached to this, that's never great, so Omari Nolasco, Jody Lynn O'Keefe, Robert Knepper, that's right, Teabag himself and Rockman Dunbar are in this, Jody Lynn I know gets naked, Robert gets to be his usual menacing, having a blast, be a bad guy, this movie sucked,
[01:05:21] it's a 4 out of 10 on IMDB and it should stay there, a little more tightening could have made it be a 5 out of 10, and again, it is watchable, but sadly, just the fun is sucked out right away, you just are never involved, I might put it on in the background as a morbid curiosity, but I'm never going to be able to finish it in any setting unless I force myself to, so yeah, fuck this movie, I respect it because there's a lot of good talent, I'm not angry at it,
[01:05:51] but I cannot in any circumstance recommend it just because it's just again let down by the over-convoluted plot, and I would have only hated it had someone actually overrated it and said oh it's a must see, but no, it fortunately wasn't that, but it's a shame because the actors gave it their all, but it's too shallow at times, and then when it's trying to be dense, you just lost all the interest, just very uneven,
[01:06:20] and so then we get to Rush, which features an Irish Catholic mom having her life turned upside down when she finds out her freshman was victimized by a hazing group, Patrick has an okay supporting role in this, but yeah, this is a well-acted dud, does not intrigue, and then we get to Dark Asset, which has Ryan Mann, again, I love the dude, he's been a reliable
[01:06:50] B-movie actor, you've seen him in movies like The Big Short, as well as shows like The Expanse, various other Tom Berringer and Steven St. Cole type action movies, but it's a shame because he's bringing his all, you've got other Canadian B-movie gal, Helen Mattson, it's a mix of spy and computer hacking and Margaret Patrick gets to play an evil military scientist, it is watchable, but you will just, people aren't impressed with it,
[01:07:19] will eject the disc or stop streaming like 20 minutes into it and everyone else will just be, find it watchable, but very unimpressed. And it's a shame because the budget isn't schlocky, the trailer looked kick-ass, but it's just a very poor man's born identity Matrix film that just came in way too late. It could be commended for its combo, but unfortunately it is just not intriguing at all. And so then we end this
[01:07:49] with another dud on Patrick's career. I don't know how this got a six, this is easily a four, easily one of the most amateur-looking indie productions. And basically it's set during COVID and Singer comes to a quiet town during lockdown and takes on a prison job and forms a deep bond with a man facing his final days on death row. Okay, other acting, Sabanhan Hogan's in here. He's also
[01:08:18] worked with Patrick on some recent stuff. We also got freaking Peter May gone from Orville, but yeah, man, I was not interested in this at all. The digital camera hurt my eyes. And this is a recent 2021 movie and they call it a comedy. I didn't find it too funny. It's just unorganized, unengaging and made me want to just pull my hair out. Sucks so
[01:08:48] much. So I lied. We weren't able to get through half an hour, but we got through it in an hour. 34 movies, man. Big, huge highlights from Patrick's career. Some duds, some like it or hate it, some average movies, but from the list, I gotta say, definitely recommend Lovelace, Helion's Last Rampage, A Texas Funeral, Backflash, Asylum, The
[01:09:18] Vivaro Letter, and Tactical Assault. Definitely, definitely see Zero Tolerance, Hong Kong 97, and of course, you know, you can have some fun with Blackwater's Echo Pond and Perfect Assassins and Renegade Force, but yeah, the only real duds on there were stuff like Alien Trespass, Shelter in Solitude, Gangster Squad, and Decoy, but again, nothing related to Patrick.
[01:09:48] It's just the kind of movie it was, and it could have been better, it's just average, or just straight up annoying and mediocre.
