1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,576
Lost city, billions of diamonds, Nazi agents,

2
00:00:03,688 --> 00:00:07,512
colonels. Sir, you must think I was born. Yesterday for the

3
00:00:07,536 --> 00:00:10,920
auntie's time. It's true. And keep your

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,912
voice down. Don't want the whole world to know. Jack,

5
00:00:13,976 --> 00:00:17,320
why do you think we're here? I'll get all of you to

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,580
Abu Abu and then you're on your own.

7
00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:35,188
What's wrong? Coming to the territory of the Water Warriors.

8
00:00:35,284 --> 00:00:38,932
Is that bad? Very bad. Don't think

9
00:00:38,956 --> 00:00:42,372
I like the way he said that. We don't know much about them, except they

10
00:00:42,396 --> 00:00:46,360
are killers. Okay, everybody, just keep your eyes peeled.

11
00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:51,668
Hello, folks. Welcome to CinemaBeef podcast. I am one of your

12
00:00:51,724 --> 00:00:56,200
hosts, Gary Hill. And with you tonight is Suzanne.

13
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:00,692
Greetings from the person that spent two hours poking themselves in the eye trying

14
00:01:00,716 --> 00:01:02,280
to get used to contacts.

15
00:01:03,610 --> 00:01:07,154
Nice. Sometimes that vanity thing is a

16
00:01:07,162 --> 00:01:10,150
real. Ain't it? You know, just that you don't know where there's heavy glasses.

17
00:01:10,810 --> 00:01:13,570
Oh, I just. Just want to be able to see.

18
00:01:13,610 --> 00:01:16,994
Right. That's all. Yeah, there's that.

19
00:01:17,082 --> 00:01:21,010
There's that with us

20
00:01:21,050 --> 00:01:25,986
tonight also, you know, still carrying that torch for subpar chicken

21
00:01:26,018 --> 00:01:29,070
sandwiches because he loves so much that makes.

22
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:34,912
They Must be destroyed on Site podcast. Mr. Lee Russell is here.

23
00:01:34,936 --> 00:01:38,416
How you doing, sir? Great. And the, the joke is of course that I don't

24
00:01:38,448 --> 00:01:42,032
like the McChicken. Actually. I think it's also a piece of.

25
00:01:42,216 --> 00:01:45,040
But just, just comparison. One of the.

26
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,400
Comparing one of the like, worst fast food sandwiches to like

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,048
the most rotten, disgusting looking food in the world.

28
00:01:52,104 --> 00:01:55,074
It's just, it's that. That's basically the joke. But yeah,

29
00:01:55,272 --> 00:01:58,606
it's like, you know, soggy lettuce on a chicken

30
00:01:58,638 --> 00:02:03,022
patty with subpar mayonnaise. It just sounds delicious.

31
00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:07,166
No, not at all, man. That seasoned patty,

32
00:02:07,198 --> 00:02:09,210
though, God damn. You know.

33
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:15,102
You can disaster. You just ask for that,

34
00:02:15,206 --> 00:02:18,958
Take that, take that out of the sandwich and throw the, throw the extra

35
00:02:19,054 --> 00:02:22,750
away. The, the demographics will give me that special kind of drunk

36
00:02:22,830 --> 00:02:26,150
that. That would eat that and say, yeah, but, you know,

37
00:02:26,310 --> 00:02:29,414
sober, not so much, you know. Well, that's. That's what

38
00:02:29,422 --> 00:02:33,350
the Burger King have it your way is for. It's for the people

39
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:35,890
who are drunk at like 2:00am, you know,

40
00:02:36,670 --> 00:02:40,550
or those. Subpar chicken sandwiches that are not Popeyes or

41
00:02:40,590 --> 00:02:44,454
try to be like Popeyes. And you know, it just. This is a Popeyes

42
00:02:44,502 --> 00:02:47,990
chicken sandwich. It just, it's just not. You know, I've never,

43
00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:51,702
I've never had Popeyes. But we have a chain up here

44
00:02:51,726 --> 00:02:54,806
in Canada. I think there's a few in America too, called Mary

45
00:02:54,838 --> 00:02:58,722
Browns. Which is really, really good. So it

46
00:02:58,746 --> 00:03:01,906
sounds like maybe a Southern thing, like Bojangles. We don't have that here either.

47
00:03:01,938 --> 00:03:05,730
But that's, that's, that's a Southern thing. Suzanne knows about

48
00:03:05,770 --> 00:03:07,670
it, probably. Oh, yeah.

49
00:03:09,930 --> 00:03:13,490
Oh my gosh. That's enough talking about food. We're all very starving now, I'm sure,

50
00:03:13,530 --> 00:03:17,458
for delightful soggy lettuce. But yes,

51
00:03:17,634 --> 00:03:21,026
I was actually smart. I got dinner done and

52
00:03:21,098 --> 00:03:24,930
I told Pat. I'm like, I don't want to be shoveling food in my mouth

53
00:03:25,010 --> 00:03:28,452
at 7:55. Can we please just

54
00:03:28,556 --> 00:03:32,020
move this along? And he said, I want to see the face up.

55
00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:34,996
I'm like, just get me the bowl.

56
00:03:35,188 --> 00:03:39,684
See, the problem the women are, is. And I. I live with one that

57
00:03:39,852 --> 00:03:42,884
pulls the so what are we having for dinner thing.

58
00:03:43,052 --> 00:03:46,452
And then you have no preference, but they're still pressing the fact

59
00:03:46,476 --> 00:03:49,700
that what do we have for dinner? What will make you complain?

60
00:03:49,860 --> 00:03:53,694
Just explain this to me, please. You know, and then we'll have that,

61
00:03:53,782 --> 00:03:54,570
you know.

62
00:03:57,350 --> 00:04:00,478
Wow. I think you. I think you share

63
00:04:00,534 --> 00:04:04,798
some of the sexist attitudes of one of the movies we're covering tonight.

64
00:04:04,974 --> 00:04:08,190
Oh, gosh, it's just, it's. It's an annoyance,

65
00:04:08,270 --> 00:04:11,998
Lee. I'm not her husband or, or her boyfriend, and, you know,

66
00:04:12,134 --> 00:04:15,410
I'm that other animal, so there's that, you know. Yeah, yeah.

67
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:20,022
Oh, yeah, we'll get into all that. But I'll get into it right now.

68
00:04:20,206 --> 00:04:23,814
Ask Lee what he's been watching lately. All right, I'll just mention

69
00:04:23,862 --> 00:04:26,530
two things real quick.

70
00:04:27,550 --> 00:04:31,062
So I do a little thing where

71
00:04:31,086 --> 00:04:34,598
I. I screen movies sometimes for. For my friends on Saturday

72
00:04:34,654 --> 00:04:38,422
nights when I'm not podcasting. And so

73
00:04:38,446 --> 00:04:41,734
it was, you know, it's Black History Month still as we're recording.

74
00:04:41,862 --> 00:04:44,950
And I tend to do black exploitation films in

75
00:04:44,990 --> 00:04:48,610
February, so one of the ones we did last

76
00:04:48,650 --> 00:04:51,590
weekend was the Black Gestapo.

77
00:04:52,890 --> 00:04:56,514
A little bit of tie in to what we're covering tonight.

78
00:04:56,562 --> 00:04:59,810
But yeah, it. With a name like

79
00:04:59,850 --> 00:05:03,750
Black Gestapo, you would think it would probably be the most extreme,

80
00:05:04,330 --> 00:05:08,402
like, just on the nose exploitation

81
00:05:08,466 --> 00:05:12,344
of that concept that you could possibly think of. But it actually isn't

82
00:05:12,522 --> 00:05:15,740
as bad as it sounds. It's basically just,

83
00:05:15,780 --> 00:05:19,692
you know, exploiting the idea of, like, black power movements at

84
00:05:19,716 --> 00:05:23,452
the time. And like, what if one went so over the

85
00:05:23,476 --> 00:05:27,084
edge that they basically just started emulating Nazis

86
00:05:27,212 --> 00:05:30,156
and basically just become Nazis by the end?

87
00:05:30,308 --> 00:05:33,772
And it doesn't really interrogate that idea all that

88
00:05:33,796 --> 00:05:38,294
much. It just uses that as a kind of high concept kind of idea to

89
00:05:38,492 --> 00:05:42,738
do a really good exploitation Black exploitation film with

90
00:05:42,794 --> 00:05:45,954
a lot of killing, a lot of titties,

91
00:05:46,082 --> 00:05:49,730
and a lot of fun performances. It's got

92
00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:53,070
Charles Robinson from Night Court as the main.

93
00:05:54,570 --> 00:05:58,498
The main black Nazi, basically. Oh, my God.

94
00:05:58,674 --> 00:06:01,570
Yeah, so that's. That was a fun little discovery.

95
00:06:01,650 --> 00:06:04,450
Like, I'd known about this film for a long time, but I'd never seen it.

96
00:06:04,490 --> 00:06:07,450
And then. And watching it, it's like, oh, that.

97
00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:10,810
That's Charles Robinson from Night Court there. What the.

98
00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:14,862
I. I knew he had been in a couple of movies around this time.

99
00:06:14,886 --> 00:06:17,822
I know, I know. Like, he's also in Sugar Hill, which is another one we

100
00:06:17,846 --> 00:06:20,570
showed recently. But,

101
00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:24,606
yeah, this was fun. It. It does have, like, you know,

102
00:06:24,678 --> 00:06:27,822
these white gangsters are, like, abusing the black

103
00:06:28,006 --> 00:06:31,758
community. And the black power group

104
00:06:31,814 --> 00:06:35,246
that's kind of like, policing the black community isn't hardcore

105
00:06:35,278 --> 00:06:38,362
enough. So some of them sp and, like, become the

106
00:06:38,386 --> 00:06:41,674
black Gestapo. And when they basically

107
00:06:41,722 --> 00:06:45,242
wipe out all the white gangsters, they become just as

108
00:06:45,266 --> 00:06:48,906
bad as the white gangsters and, like, sort of take over their. Their.

109
00:06:48,978 --> 00:06:52,314
Their racket that they were running. Like, you know, they had, like,

110
00:06:52,322 --> 00:06:56,154
a racketeering thing going, and with all the different businesses and stuff

111
00:06:56,202 --> 00:06:59,466
going on and all that. So, yeah,

112
00:06:59,578 --> 00:07:03,130
it's. It's actually a really fun exploitation movie.

113
00:07:03,210 --> 00:07:07,056
Well worth checking out. It's definitely a more trashy

114
00:07:07,088 --> 00:07:11,104
blaxploitation film, but if you like trashy black exploitation films, it's one

115
00:07:11,112 --> 00:07:14,576
of the better ones. The only other thing I'll mention,

116
00:07:14,688 --> 00:07:18,240
I watched Captain America, Brave New World, The.

117
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,512
The. The latest MCU film I

118
00:07:22,536 --> 00:07:25,696
got, I torn it a. One of those, like,

119
00:07:25,768 --> 00:07:29,488
illegal copies where someone's, like, actually in the projection booth

120
00:07:29,584 --> 00:07:33,022
recording it with a camera that's set up perfectly, and they're, like,

121
00:07:33,046 --> 00:07:36,622
you know, plugged into the. To the actual sound

122
00:07:36,766 --> 00:07:40,382
system that's playing the. The audio. So you get, like, pretty much perfect

123
00:07:40,446 --> 00:07:43,370
sound and everything. Not great.

124
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:47,502
Pretty mid. Pretty safe for a Marvel

125
00:07:47,566 --> 00:07:50,958
movie. You know, they don't. Again, here's another thing where it's,

126
00:07:50,974 --> 00:07:54,622
like, it's a film that should be talking about black issues. Like, it should be

127
00:07:54,646 --> 00:07:58,510
talking about, hey, black Captain America. That's an interesting

128
00:07:58,590 --> 00:08:02,712
idea given, you know, the US Government's

129
00:08:02,776 --> 00:08:06,344
history of imperialism and racism. And what does it mean to

130
00:08:06,352 --> 00:08:09,928
be a black Captain America, like, existing under that

131
00:08:09,984 --> 00:08:14,632
system? And of course, it doesn't interrogate it at all. Really kind

132
00:08:14,656 --> 00:08:18,248
of plays it really, really safe. You got Harrison Ford taking

133
00:08:18,304 --> 00:08:21,736
over William Hurts, character of General

134
00:08:21,808 --> 00:08:25,400
Ross, because, of course, William Hurt died in, what, 2022,

135
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,622
I believe. And Harrison Ford's fine in it.

136
00:08:28,646 --> 00:08:32,222
Like, he's. He's picking up a paycheck. But I'll say this, for Harrison Ford,

137
00:08:32,286 --> 00:08:35,998
even when he's just, like, slumming it and picking up a paycheck, he still gives

138
00:08:36,014 --> 00:08:39,290
a pretty good performance. So he's pretty good in this.

139
00:08:40,070 --> 00:08:43,326
The less said about him turning into the Red Hulk, the better, though,

140
00:08:43,398 --> 00:08:46,718
because it's just.

141
00:08:46,774 --> 00:08:50,590
I don't know why the. The MCU has not

142
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:54,078
caught on that their CGI is terrible. Like, they have just not

143
00:08:54,134 --> 00:08:57,930
been delivering for the longest time now

144
00:08:57,970 --> 00:09:01,910
through cgi. And this stuff is worse than

145
00:09:02,610 --> 00:09:05,994
the CGI and she Hulk. Like, it's really bad.

146
00:09:06,162 --> 00:09:09,690
The action scenes look terrible when there's, like, CGI going

147
00:09:09,730 --> 00:09:12,630
on. I think everyone else is pretty good in it.

148
00:09:13,010 --> 00:09:16,586
They. They got. Giancarlo Esposito

149
00:09:16,618 --> 00:09:19,434
is in this because of course he is. He's in everything now. He's like the

150
00:09:19,442 --> 00:09:22,902
new Christopher Walken, I guess, because, you know, he's an actor of

151
00:09:22,926 --> 00:09:26,630
gravitas, so put him in everything. But, you know,

152
00:09:26,670 --> 00:09:30,358
he's got kind of a thankless role because he's just kind of wedged in as,

153
00:09:30,414 --> 00:09:33,782
like, oh, here's the Serpent Society. Something we've never referenced

154
00:09:33,846 --> 00:09:36,614
at all in any of the other movies as far as I can remember,

155
00:09:36,742 --> 00:09:39,690
but they're a thing now. And so, yeah, okay.

156
00:09:40,030 --> 00:09:43,926
Yeah, it's. It's just. It's not a great film, but I guess

157
00:09:43,958 --> 00:09:47,782
it's probably better than most of the stuff that has come

158
00:09:47,806 --> 00:09:51,398
out from the MCU in this, like, recent phase or whatever.

159
00:09:51,494 --> 00:09:54,964
So. I mean, that's a super low bar, but, you know, it's watchable.

160
00:09:55,012 --> 00:09:58,516
And it's under two hours, which is probably the biggest selling

161
00:09:58,548 --> 00:10:00,980
point for this one. It's like, yeah, you can get in and get out,

162
00:10:01,020 --> 00:10:04,676
and it runs pretty smooth pretty quick. It's okay.

163
00:10:04,788 --> 00:10:08,452
But, you know, I. I don't think. I don't think it's gonna sway any of

164
00:10:08,476 --> 00:10:12,308
the, like, incel. Weirdo nerds who are gonna

165
00:10:12,324 --> 00:10:15,348
scream woke every time they see a black person on the screen.

166
00:10:15,444 --> 00:10:19,396
And, you know, they're. They're not gonna buy into black Captain

167
00:10:19,428 --> 00:10:23,182
America no matter what. And. And the movie doesn't do anything to sway

168
00:10:23,246 --> 00:10:26,238
the more casual audience either into, like, hey,

169
00:10:26,334 --> 00:10:29,438
here's our new Captain America. Accept it. It's like,

170
00:10:29,574 --> 00:10:33,342
okay, it's. They did. It's fine, but it's

171
00:10:33,406 --> 00:10:36,350
not great. I heard it sets a lot of stuff up, though, as far as,

172
00:10:36,390 --> 00:10:39,530
like, what's to come a little bit.

173
00:10:39,990 --> 00:10:43,550
And it kind of. It references Some stuff that

174
00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:47,694
had been hanging a little bit for a while. Like that Eternals movie

175
00:10:47,742 --> 00:10:51,530
that everyone wants to forget happens. It references

176
00:10:51,610 --> 00:10:55,194
the Celestial or whatever that came out of, like, the Indian Ocean.

177
00:10:55,322 --> 00:10:58,554
Like, that's kind of the whole main thrust of the plot is that, like,

178
00:10:58,562 --> 00:11:03,130
the MacGuffin there is that the Celestial is made out of adamantium.

179
00:11:03,210 --> 00:11:07,290
So, like, that's the new rare mineral. And all the different countries are like,

180
00:11:07,410 --> 00:11:10,090
we want to get a. Get a hold of that for its, you know,

181
00:11:10,130 --> 00:11:14,186
weapons and science and medical applications.

182
00:11:14,378 --> 00:11:18,000
So that. That's. That's kind of like the. The whole main point

183
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,104
of the story is that they're all racing there to. To be the first to

184
00:11:21,112 --> 00:11:24,576
get it. And. And so, you know, it does kind of reference a couple

185
00:11:24,608 --> 00:11:27,904
things and set up a couple things, but it's not. I wouldn't say it

186
00:11:27,912 --> 00:11:31,120
does that much. And of course, it also does

187
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,688
sort of pay off what's his face. I can't

188
00:11:34,704 --> 00:11:38,800
remember. But the guy who play. Who's the leader and

189
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,728
he. He was in the. The Hulk movie. The.

190
00:11:41,864 --> 00:11:45,590
Oh, yes. Yeah. So, like, Blake Nelson, right? Yes,

191
00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:49,606
yes, Tim Blake Nelson. So it pays that off. He's finally the leader.

192
00:11:49,758 --> 00:11:53,350
And I know people are kind of like, on how he

193
00:11:53,390 --> 00:11:56,966
looks because it's, like, all pretty much practical effects, and it kind of just looks

194
00:11:56,998 --> 00:12:00,118
like, you know, okay, monster makeup. But I kind of dug that,

195
00:12:00,174 --> 00:12:03,318
like, especially compared to the CGI in this film.

196
00:12:03,454 --> 00:12:07,030
I would have took this Tim

197
00:12:07,070 --> 00:12:10,710
Blake Nelson stuff over that CGI anytime. Like,

198
00:12:10,750 --> 00:12:13,808
it at the very. Like, you know, it looks like stuff I'm

199
00:12:13,824 --> 00:12:17,472
used to. It's like, I've seen all the Toxic Avenger films, and it's.

200
00:12:17,536 --> 00:12:20,800
It's better than that, so I'm okay with it. And Tim

201
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,496
Blake Nelson's pretty cool as the Leader, too. Like, he's actually an interesting villain,

202
00:12:24,528 --> 00:12:27,620
but. Great actor, you know? Yeah, yeah.

203
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,552
That's as ugly as that Modoc and in the Ant man

204
00:12:31,576 --> 00:12:34,500
movie. Oh, that was terrible. Yeah, that's pretty ugly.

205
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,568
I don't know why they didn't just get Pat Oswalt

206
00:12:39,584 --> 00:12:42,662
to do it. Oh, yeah, he's good at it.

207
00:12:42,686 --> 00:12:45,990
Yeah, for sure. Oh, my gosh. What about you,

208
00:12:46,030 --> 00:12:49,462
Sue? Well, I finally got around to

209
00:12:49,486 --> 00:12:53,030
watching Long Legs, and I have

210
00:12:53,070 --> 00:12:56,934
to admit, I was totally blown

211
00:12:56,982 --> 00:13:00,822
away by how good this movie was. It had every

212
00:13:00,926 --> 00:13:04,250
element that I can ever ask for in a movie.

213
00:13:04,590 --> 00:13:08,350
And I'm like, I have to admit, over with Nick Cage

214
00:13:08,430 --> 00:13:11,742
doing all these terrible movies for a paycheck to

215
00:13:11,766 --> 00:13:16,142
pay off his debts. I'm just. I'm not a Nick Cage person,

216
00:13:16,326 --> 00:13:19,530
but he managed to pull off just

217
00:13:20,630 --> 00:13:23,090
insane in this movie.

218
00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:28,702
It also checked off. I'm sorry. Every once in a while just give me

219
00:13:28,726 --> 00:13:32,862
a little bit of gore, actually, you know, just give me a lot of gore.

220
00:13:33,006 --> 00:13:36,222
I've had a bad day. I want to see a ton of, of blood.

221
00:13:36,286 --> 00:13:38,866
I want to see heads bash brains,

222
00:13:39,038 --> 00:13:42,730
wall intestines splatting. I have

223
00:13:42,770 --> 00:13:45,738
days like this, this movie. I, I,

224
00:13:45,794 --> 00:13:49,550
I'm so completely impressed.

225
00:13:50,050 --> 00:13:54,190
I mean, they checked a bunch of the silence, the lamb boxes,

226
00:13:54,930 --> 00:13:58,458
you know, a little bit of the Will Graham and

227
00:13:58,514 --> 00:14:01,962
the weird connection and being able to get inside

228
00:14:02,026 --> 00:14:04,720
people's heads things. Yep.

229
00:14:04,850 --> 00:14:08,900
And the cast was Alicia Witt. I was really surprised

230
00:14:08,980 --> 00:14:12,964
to see her in that role of all people.

231
00:14:13,132 --> 00:14:17,092
Yeah, that's a pretty, this is a pretty brave performance to like kind

232
00:14:17,116 --> 00:14:21,300
of put yourself out there like that. Very just like unappealing and like.

233
00:14:21,340 --> 00:14:24,884
Yeah, yeah. And the other one I've been

234
00:14:24,972 --> 00:14:28,756
anybody who'll listen to me about. It's one that's been on shudder.

235
00:14:28,788 --> 00:14:32,270
It's called Oddity. Yeah, that's a great film. I love that.

236
00:14:32,390 --> 00:14:35,966
Well, I mean it's, it's an unused story. I mean,

237
00:14:36,118 --> 00:14:40,010
the Golem, come on. This goes back to,

238
00:14:40,390 --> 00:14:42,650
you know, the Russian Civil War.

239
00:14:43,190 --> 00:14:46,654
Yeah. And it's barely been touched upon.

240
00:14:46,702 --> 00:14:49,902
I still have, I own the silent movie.

241
00:14:50,046 --> 00:14:53,262
There was a great book. I do believe it was like late 70s,

242
00:14:53,326 --> 00:14:57,072
early 80s called the Tribe that Barry Wood wrote

243
00:14:57,206 --> 00:15:00,748
that. Every couple of years I grab this book and read it because I find

244
00:15:00,804 --> 00:15:02,640
it fascinating.

245
00:15:03,540 --> 00:15:07,440
And once again, and it's very underscored.

246
00:15:07,940 --> 00:15:11,388
It's not. I hate jump scares. I can see a jump

247
00:15:11,404 --> 00:15:15,676
scare a mile away. They genuinely built up

248
00:15:15,828 --> 00:15:19,404
atmosphere, made you uncomfortable the whole

249
00:15:19,452 --> 00:15:23,228
time. And that is a rare quality in

250
00:15:23,284 --> 00:15:26,572
films lately. Yeah, I agree that that was a

251
00:15:26,596 --> 00:15:29,484
really well done and it just sort of came out of nowhere. It's like,

252
00:15:29,492 --> 00:15:33,160
oh shit, what is this? And it. Oh, I know. That's exactly it.

253
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:37,340
And the other one, just for shits and giggles. I was in a

254
00:15:37,380 --> 00:15:41,372
truly terrible mood on Sunday, so my husband popped in the

255
00:15:41,396 --> 00:15:45,760
thing. You can't be in a bad mood and watch the Thing. It's impossible.

256
00:15:47,060 --> 00:15:50,842
So I can't even count how many times I've seen the Thing

257
00:15:51,036 --> 00:15:54,942
since it was released. I really can't. But it was

258
00:15:54,966 --> 00:15:58,350
just kind of nice. Just sometimes going back to it's,

259
00:15:58,430 --> 00:16:01,918
it's a comfort movie for me. Yeah. That's pretty

260
00:16:01,934 --> 00:16:04,686
much just the bunches of little stuff.

261
00:16:04,798 --> 00:16:07,854
Nothing to be honest, worth mentioning. Unless.

262
00:16:07,982 --> 00:16:11,230
Oh yes, I do Have a non recommendation. If you

263
00:16:11,270 --> 00:16:14,894
ever accidentally click this movie, do yourself a

264
00:16:14,902 --> 00:16:17,824
favor and shut it the off. It's so. It's.

265
00:16:17,872 --> 00:16:21,456
It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Once again, it was

266
00:16:21,528 --> 00:16:24,400
shutter. They mostly have hits.

267
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,240
Every once in a while there's misses. I was. I gotta build up

268
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,420
this so I don't sound like an idiot.

269
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,040
New bartender was working and I'm like hey, I'll be by

270
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,512
my phone if you need anything. So I just trying to

271
00:16:38,536 --> 00:16:42,420
find something low key enough that I'm not into. If she calls

272
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,208
unfriended. Dark Web. This. This thing should be

273
00:16:47,264 --> 00:16:50,680
eradicated from all existence.

274
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,312
If everybody had died in the first three minutes, it would

275
00:16:54,336 --> 00:16:58,536
have been a great movie. It is absolutely

276
00:16:58,728 --> 00:17:01,620
horrible. It's terribly made.

277
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,560
And there's a couple of movies that kind of did this hole with

278
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,084
the whole everybody's on FaceTime and it's.

279
00:17:09,162 --> 00:17:12,264
It worked not perfectly, but enough

280
00:17:12,352 --> 00:17:15,736
that you're kind of into it. This is bloody

281
00:17:15,848 --> 00:17:19,304
awful. It is. If I could score this, it would have to

282
00:17:19,312 --> 00:17:21,700
be like a negative 200.

283
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,480
It is bad. Shudder.

284
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,560
Just take the thing down. Make it go away. No one

285
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,420
should ever watch this movie.

286
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,384
I definitely didn't like the first one. So it's like. Yeah, I'm definitely

287
00:17:37,432 --> 00:17:40,328
never checking the next one out. So. Yeah. Oh,

288
00:17:40,344 --> 00:17:43,796
the one once again. It was another one of those. It's just for me

289
00:17:43,868 --> 00:17:47,892
sometimes it's just background noise. The first one was literally when

290
00:17:47,916 --> 00:17:51,828
it was over. Like did I watch a movie? I don't remember anything.

291
00:17:52,004 --> 00:17:55,540
So I don't know why I thought this was going to be any better.

292
00:17:55,580 --> 00:17:58,564
I didn't. Well, I didn't think it was going to be any better at all.

293
00:17:58,732 --> 00:18:02,484
I just needed something non committal to have on in the

294
00:18:02,492 --> 00:18:04,840
background to stay awake. Yeah,

295
00:18:05,660 --> 00:18:09,060
well that's pretty much where I'm at. And okay, it's almost.

296
00:18:09,180 --> 00:18:12,650
It's Cactus League baseball. So I'm very happy.

297
00:18:12,990 --> 00:18:16,850
Nice. We're caught up.

298
00:18:17,150 --> 00:18:21,190
Beautiful. Yeah. I got a series of new

299
00:18:21,230 --> 00:18:25,446
watches and re watches that I'll talk about right now. I stuff

300
00:18:25,478 --> 00:18:29,030
like stuff I probably should have caught by now. And one of them is the.

301
00:18:29,070 --> 00:18:32,854
The history of Ungentle Ungentlemanly Warfare.

302
00:18:32,902 --> 00:18:36,310
It's a long title for a film. But this guy Richie,

303
00:18:36,390 --> 00:18:40,102
it's. It's a good time. Again. World War II is

304
00:18:40,126 --> 00:18:44,250
the theme of this episode. This has it in spades.

305
00:18:44,990 --> 00:18:48,566
It's a fun guy, Richie action movie and Henry Cavill's

306
00:18:48,598 --> 00:18:52,582
in it. And I love when I see Carrie always show up

307
00:18:52,606 --> 00:18:56,902
in something. And yeah, this is that. Till Schweiger

308
00:18:56,966 --> 00:19:01,126
was in that movie too. I was that guy in forever and anything. But he's

309
00:19:01,158 --> 00:19:04,390
probably done like 10 things that I haven't seen though, and probably the past

310
00:19:04,430 --> 00:19:08,050
20 years. But I digress. This is a good time.

311
00:19:08,350 --> 00:19:12,390
Guy Richie does action films like this very well. And this

312
00:19:12,430 --> 00:19:16,534
is a big bombastic Nazi killing action movie.

313
00:19:16,582 --> 00:19:20,246
And if you can't appreciate that, then I. I don't

314
00:19:20,278 --> 00:19:23,490
know, man. It's just. It's just. It's just a good time.

315
00:19:23,950 --> 00:19:28,006
Heard good things about that one. I keep hearing from people that I respect

316
00:19:28,078 --> 00:19:31,002
their opinion, saying, yeah, this is pretty good, you know, don't sleep on it.

317
00:19:31,086 --> 00:19:34,594
So. I watched two garage

318
00:19:34,642 --> 00:19:38,162
movies because our man. I forget the actor's name and I should know this,

319
00:19:38,186 --> 00:19:42,034
but right now, the actor played Hatchet Harry

320
00:19:42,082 --> 00:19:45,154
for From Lock Stock. Two Smoking Barrels passed away,

321
00:19:45,322 --> 00:19:49,842
so. So I had to watch that movie at work one day. And this

322
00:19:49,866 --> 00:19:53,270
is the reason why I still call Jason Statham Bacon,

323
00:19:53,770 --> 00:19:57,058
you know, to the state. Like, oh, baker's another action.

324
00:19:57,114 --> 00:20:00,152
We got. Check it out. And you know, that's his

325
00:20:00,176 --> 00:20:03,704
character in that movie. And the dialogue is quick.

326
00:20:03,872 --> 00:20:07,960
I love the Rory Breaker character a lot in

327
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,880
that movie. And the whole conversation with the.

328
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,896
The weed dealers, you know, back and forth, Elijah, the semi conscious

329
00:20:15,928 --> 00:20:19,464
glory gag, it's just everything in

330
00:20:19,472 --> 00:20:22,540
that movie. I just love it. Yeah.

331
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,940
Another new watch that I should have watched by now.

332
00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:30,174
I watched Wicked because it was inevitable. And I watched Wicked a

333
00:20:30,182 --> 00:20:33,502
couple times. I forgot to mention it last time because this is a film that

334
00:20:33,526 --> 00:20:36,782
I. I really enjoyed. My mother, my sister,

335
00:20:36,846 --> 00:20:40,462
my aunties, they all saw the stage play. So eventually I was gonna get to

336
00:20:40,486 --> 00:20:43,790
it and I was gonna meant to go to the movies to go see this,

337
00:20:43,910 --> 00:20:47,342
but I didn't. I really enjoyed it.

338
00:20:47,446 --> 00:20:50,814
I can't say I enjoyed the music, all of it, but I enjoy

339
00:20:50,862 --> 00:20:54,648
the idea of it. And Ariana Grande.

340
00:20:54,744 --> 00:20:57,976
And I forget the other African

341
00:20:58,008 --> 00:21:01,272
American actress's name. I should know this.

342
00:21:01,296 --> 00:21:05,420
They mentioned her name like a bunch of times, but it's real fine.

343
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,976
Michelle Yeoh is evil. They're fly. There are flying monkeys

344
00:21:10,008 --> 00:21:13,704
in this movie. Eventually she does defy gravity.

345
00:21:13,752 --> 00:21:16,984
Eventually. And I got really excited when it happened. For some reason, just something in

346
00:21:16,992 --> 00:21:20,768
my. My soul where I got really excited. I was like, wait, there's a broom.

347
00:21:20,864 --> 00:21:24,380
She's gonna fly now. And I got really excited. And you know,

348
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,152
yeah, it just. It just. And if you don't like it, that's fine. I just

349
00:21:29,176 --> 00:21:32,272
wish somebody would feed the Ariana Grande.

350
00:21:32,336 --> 00:21:35,760
Because I'm concerned for this woman in her health because she,

351
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,780
she looks unhealthy as far as, like, that goes. And.

352
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,112
Yeah, I don't know, it's. It's strange.

353
00:21:42,256 --> 00:21:46,138
Oh, I had three people gift me the book and

354
00:21:46,194 --> 00:21:49,706
then at one point for my birthday

355
00:21:49,738 --> 00:21:52,474
or something, Pat's like, oh, would you like to go see it on stage?

356
00:21:52,522 --> 00:21:53,830
I'm like, no.

357
00:21:57,330 --> 00:22:00,870
Yeah, I don't, I don't know if I ever watched that unless, like,

358
00:22:01,730 --> 00:22:05,130
my co host, Lady Lee somehow, like, tricks. Me into

359
00:22:05,170 --> 00:22:08,682
watching it and that's fine. You know, it's just the wizard of

360
00:22:08,706 --> 00:22:11,802
Oz, much like probably all of us, so we're brought up

361
00:22:11,826 --> 00:22:15,640
on. Yeah, just Judy Garland lived in my house

362
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,056
for, for a while with that and meet me in St. Louis and stuff

363
00:22:20,088 --> 00:22:25,048
like that. It just, it just played in my house. So I'm

364
00:22:25,064 --> 00:22:29,016
sorry. Oh, no, no. When I was a kid, when the wizard

365
00:22:29,048 --> 00:22:32,232
of Oz was on, this was back in the days of like 13 channels.

366
00:22:32,296 --> 00:22:35,912
Thank you. I'm old, you know, it was, it was

367
00:22:35,936 --> 00:22:39,752
an event. You know, I have such fond memories of

368
00:22:39,776 --> 00:22:43,530
it. Like I said, I couldn't get more than 100

369
00:22:43,570 --> 00:22:46,970
pages into the book. All three copies. Thank you very

370
00:22:47,010 --> 00:22:50,282
much. It just. I don't know, it just didn't.

371
00:22:51,650 --> 00:22:55,466
Didn't have the magic for me. Fair enough.

372
00:22:55,618 --> 00:22:58,922
One thing I'll mention is that I probably watching more wrestling

373
00:22:58,986 --> 00:23:02,410
and listening to more podcasts than ever before, because I could do

374
00:23:02,450 --> 00:23:05,830
both, really watch the wrestling and listen to podcasts at the same time.

375
00:23:06,650 --> 00:23:08,710
God bless. Multiple screens.

376
00:23:10,090 --> 00:23:13,554
It's the multiple screens. It's. It's multitasking.

377
00:23:13,682 --> 00:23:16,898
And I will say one thing about the AW product.

378
00:23:17,034 --> 00:23:21,266
I, I am enjoying the smaller stadiums that they're going into

379
00:23:21,338 --> 00:23:25,394
because the crowd is louder and they replace Mercedes

380
00:23:25,442 --> 00:23:29,234
Monet with a puppet. And if they replace more folks with puppets,

381
00:23:29,282 --> 00:23:32,562
I think I would be much more happy as a wrestling fan

382
00:23:32,626 --> 00:23:36,460
because Harley Cameron is really working

383
00:23:36,580 --> 00:23:39,820
with, with that Mercedes Monet Muppet. And if

384
00:23:39,860 --> 00:23:42,892
I, If I had a Jon Moxley Muppet where they would just show them up

385
00:23:42,916 --> 00:23:46,700
and not him talking, I. I think I would be enjoying that

386
00:23:46,740 --> 00:23:50,348
a lot more. The product, because I'm

387
00:23:50,364 --> 00:23:53,900
getting really sick of the Death Riders, but I'll watch

388
00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:57,532
it because we'll. Because Will Osprey's out there, so I'll watch

389
00:23:57,556 --> 00:24:01,196
it. So, you know, I'd enjoyed. I'd enjoy it if, If Tony

390
00:24:01,228 --> 00:24:05,014
Khan actually hired people who actually know wrestling and know how to book.

391
00:24:05,212 --> 00:24:06,630
That'd be great. Yeah.

392
00:24:08,330 --> 00:24:12,482
And also, you know, the, the thing is, like, I will say I

393
00:24:12,506 --> 00:24:15,410
don't really watch aew. I kind of checked out, like,

394
00:24:15,450 --> 00:24:18,322
after. Kind of like the first year or so, because it's just like, not for

395
00:24:18,346 --> 00:24:21,842
me, dog. But had they started out

396
00:24:21,866 --> 00:24:25,442
in smaller venues and, like, built themselves up instead of trying to

397
00:24:25,466 --> 00:24:29,042
pretend they were a national promotion right out of the gate, they probably would

398
00:24:29,066 --> 00:24:33,138
have fared a lot better. But just because, you know, Tony Khan has billions

399
00:24:33,154 --> 00:24:37,138
of dollars behind him, he decides, I'm just gonna. I'm gonna throw money at big

400
00:24:37,194 --> 00:24:40,546
buildings. And then after a while, you can't

401
00:24:40,578 --> 00:24:43,762
fill those buildings anymore. And your product on TV looks like,

402
00:24:43,786 --> 00:24:47,234
dog, you got no one to blame but yourself.

403
00:24:47,362 --> 00:24:50,866
And he is the central problem of that, that promotion.

404
00:24:50,898 --> 00:24:54,098
If he could, like, you know, let people who actually

405
00:24:54,154 --> 00:24:58,046
know wrestling do a bunch of the work instead of him

406
00:24:58,218 --> 00:25:01,090
just blitzed out on cocaine doing everything,

407
00:25:02,670 --> 00:25:05,730
he might find himself enjoying the.

408
00:25:06,030 --> 00:25:09,366
The whole thing a lot more. Just putting it out there. But.

409
00:25:09,518 --> 00:25:13,462
And the people watching would definitely, probably enjoy it a lot more. And when he

410
00:25:13,486 --> 00:25:17,062
comes out, he should come out as a Muppet and just do some Muppet talking

411
00:25:17,126 --> 00:25:20,182
to the Tony. I mean, if they, you know, if they had. If they had

412
00:25:20,206 --> 00:25:23,530
to make. If they had debuted

413
00:25:23,870 --> 00:25:27,622
Mercedes Monet, Muppet from the get go and just never hired her to the

414
00:25:27,646 --> 00:25:31,226
roster, they would have saved themselves a lot of man.

415
00:25:31,378 --> 00:25:34,058
Well, they'd have to give her something because the likeness rights or whatnot.

416
00:25:34,074 --> 00:25:37,802
But, you know. Yeah, the Harley Halftime show does it

417
00:25:37,826 --> 00:25:40,990
for me. I don't know what it is, you know. Yeah,

418
00:25:41,970 --> 00:25:45,834
but, yeah, we're here tonight to talk about two films

419
00:25:45,962 --> 00:25:49,578
in which Nazis are seeking treasure. And of course,

420
00:25:49,634 --> 00:25:53,578
people are going to foil their plans. And we're

421
00:25:53,594 --> 00:25:57,150
doing that with My Imran's Men from 2014

422
00:25:57,530 --> 00:26:01,218
and what I've never seen until this, the show. And I'm excited

423
00:26:01,234 --> 00:26:04,430
to talk about the crazy sexism of it all.

424
00:26:04,970 --> 00:26:08,402
1987's Jane and the Lost City.

425
00:26:08,586 --> 00:26:12,210
Yeah, let's go to the Prestige Picture first.

426
00:26:12,330 --> 00:26:14,510
I think that's the best plan.

427
00:26:15,290 --> 00:26:18,354
So Jane in the Lost City. Yes, indeed.

428
00:26:18,402 --> 00:26:23,070
But no, the other one, the monument spread from 2014.

429
00:26:25,820 --> 00:26:28,880
Want to get into the war. Monuments Man.

430
00:26:29,180 --> 00:26:32,804
Time to put a team together and. Do our best to protect buildings,

431
00:26:32,852 --> 00:26:36,580
bridges and art before the Nazis destroy everything. How many

432
00:26:36,620 --> 00:26:39,684
men? Six. Jesus. Well, with you at seven,

433
00:26:39,772 --> 00:26:43,572
that's much better. So you want to go into a war zone with

434
00:26:43,596 --> 00:26:47,908
some architects and artists and tell our boys what they can. And cannot blow up?

435
00:26:48,044 --> 00:26:51,160
That's right. Aren't we a little old for that? Yes.

436
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:55,312
We go through basic and then we wait for orders. Basic. Little help.

437
00:26:55,416 --> 00:26:58,900
Basic training. Oh, boy.

438
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,696
If you destroy an entire generation of. People'S culture,

439
00:27:09,808 --> 00:27:13,248
it's as if they never existed. We got company.

440
00:27:13,384 --> 00:27:16,340
Frank. We gotta go. That's what Hitler wants,

441
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,152
and it's the. One thing we can't allow. So we get to shoot some

442
00:27:20,216 --> 00:27:21,020
Nazis.

443
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,616
It's your responsibility now. I've never shot at anyone

444
00:27:28,648 --> 00:27:29,220
before.

445
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:35,140
He really wanted it all.

446
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,900
We better get it back.

447
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,240
What have you got? I seem to have stepped on a landmine.

448
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,414
Why'd you do something like that? What do you got? Lieutenant here seems to have

449
00:27:52,422 --> 00:27:55,822
found himself on top of an unexploded mine. Why would you do that? You all

450
00:27:55,846 --> 00:27:57,450
been spending too much time together.

451
00:28:02,470 --> 00:28:05,130
The monuments man from 2014.

452
00:28:06,310 --> 00:28:09,822
Your cheap applause synopsis is an. Unlike The World

453
00:28:09,846 --> 00:28:13,102
War II platoon is tasked to rescue art masterpieces from

454
00:28:13,126 --> 00:28:15,890
German thieves and return them to their owners.

455
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,520
This is written, directed and starring

456
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,440
George Clooney. Matt Damon is

457
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,136
in this film as James Granger. Bill Murray's. In this film is Richard

458
00:28:28,168 --> 00:28:32,248
Campbell. Cate Blanchett as Claire Simone. John Goodman

459
00:28:32,344 --> 00:28:37,100
as Walter Garfield. Jean Jardin as Jean Claude Clairmont.

460
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,900
Hugh Bonneville as Donald Jeffries.

461
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,116
The phenomenal Bob Balaban. I can't praise this guy

462
00:28:44,148 --> 00:28:47,284
enough. And anything as Preston. Yes,

463
00:28:47,332 --> 00:28:51,476
indeed. But, yeah, this is a. A film

464
00:28:51,548 --> 00:28:54,800
that, you know, I should have liked upon its release.

465
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:59,348
And. And I'm sure we'll get into why I still think it's kind of subpar.

466
00:28:59,524 --> 00:29:03,284
And I'll start there with Suzanne. Suzanne, what you think of Monuments

467
00:29:03,332 --> 00:29:06,420
Man. Okay, well, I'm gonna preface this just a touch.

468
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:09,748
Okay. I tried to watch this. When it came out, like,

469
00:29:09,804 --> 00:29:13,580
three times, I was out cold within 20 minutes.

470
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,140
It's. I will admit it's very, very dry,

471
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,320
but I actually started doing a little before

472
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,512
I watched it, because I remember watching this.

473
00:29:27,696 --> 00:29:30,820
We. I used to have a channel, and they used to do,

474
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,192
like, three days a week, this thing on art heists

475
00:29:35,336 --> 00:29:37,822
and stolen art.

476
00:29:37,976 --> 00:29:41,794
Absolutely fascinating. Can't remember the name of it. Don't know where it is.

477
00:29:41,962 --> 00:29:46,274
But they did one on, and they even briefly mentioned

478
00:29:46,322 --> 00:29:49,510
it in the movie last night. The Klimt pieces,

479
00:29:50,170 --> 00:29:53,310
the Girl with the golden something.

480
00:29:53,850 --> 00:29:57,426
There were several. It was just gold was the main color. But just very,

481
00:29:57,498 --> 00:30:00,690
very beautiful pieces. And I just

482
00:30:00,730 --> 00:30:04,590
got kind of mentioned, which brought it all back last night.

483
00:30:05,650 --> 00:30:09,898
So I know a little bit about the backstory

484
00:30:10,074 --> 00:30:14,310
and the stolen art, the destroyed art, which is

485
00:30:14,610 --> 00:30:18,150
heartbreaking. Yeah, I.

486
00:30:19,890 --> 00:30:22,350
This movie is good in pieces.

487
00:30:23,250 --> 00:30:26,826
There are portions of it that are just really

488
00:30:26,898 --> 00:30:30,710
interesting. Pull your Attention in.

489
00:30:31,090 --> 00:30:33,270
Then we go to parts where it's just.

490
00:30:34,050 --> 00:30:37,818
I. I just. I can't really put my finger. It's boring.

491
00:30:37,994 --> 00:30:41,018
Okay, there. There we go. Yeah, they don't.

492
00:30:41,114 --> 00:30:44,170
It's. It could have possibly, you know,

493
00:30:44,210 --> 00:30:47,482
maybe 15 minutes trimmed off,

494
00:30:47,586 --> 00:30:50,150
but there are just parts of this movie that just,

495
00:30:50,850 --> 00:30:53,670
with the goal of the story,

496
00:30:54,210 --> 00:30:57,850
just. Are just extraneous pieces that

497
00:30:57,890 --> 00:31:01,218
don't need to be there. But I will.

498
00:31:01,274 --> 00:31:05,362
I do want to step into the cast. You do have an amazing cast

499
00:31:05,426 --> 00:31:08,882
here. I'm not a huge

500
00:31:09,026 --> 00:31:12,610
Kate Blanchett fan. She's very good in some

501
00:31:12,650 --> 00:31:16,530
things. And I just. I. I just. I find

502
00:31:16,570 --> 00:31:19,362
her uppity and she just.

503
00:31:19,546 --> 00:31:23,186
She just kind of. Most movies I see her in,

504
00:31:23,338 --> 00:31:26,150
she just puts off that uppity vibe.

505
00:31:26,930 --> 00:31:30,586
Though it works in this one. Matt Damon, I have to admit,

506
00:31:30,618 --> 00:31:34,590
he was probably one of the best characters in this movie.

507
00:31:35,410 --> 00:31:39,082
And I found. I love Bob Balaban in.

508
00:31:39,186 --> 00:31:42,762
Yeah, An Unnatural Way because the man, he's.

509
00:31:42,826 --> 00:31:45,990
He's great. It's so many things. He's a great director,

510
00:31:46,370 --> 00:31:50,026
he's a great actor, but he's. He's got

511
00:31:50,098 --> 00:31:54,008
this. I will put my nose to the grindstone and make everybody awkward

512
00:31:54,194 --> 00:31:57,788
while I'm doing it. And he pulls this off just

513
00:31:57,924 --> 00:32:01,404
stunningly. Bill Murray,

514
00:32:01,532 --> 00:32:06,444
just for me, I think he was almost throwaway. He just.

515
00:32:06,612 --> 00:32:10,108
You could have put anybody in that part. There was nothing about it that

516
00:32:10,164 --> 00:32:13,692
made it. Bill Murray. If I'm. I could be

517
00:32:13,716 --> 00:32:17,292
out of line, but, you know, we'll see the same thing

518
00:32:17,476 --> 00:32:21,462
once again. George. George. Apparently, John Goodman,

519
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:25,142
for me, stole a lot of scenes. He just had just that kind

520
00:32:25,166 --> 00:32:28,582
of demeanor about him, but for

521
00:32:28,606 --> 00:32:32,454
the most part, it's. It's a decent movie.

522
00:32:32,502 --> 00:32:36,278
It's definitely worth a view. It may

523
00:32:36,334 --> 00:32:39,990
take you a few times because it takes so long to get off

524
00:32:40,030 --> 00:32:43,542
the ground. That's my biggest fallback with

525
00:32:43,566 --> 00:32:46,720
this movie, is It's. It's paced terribly,

526
00:32:46,910 --> 00:32:50,492
that all of the things that are good about it just kind of

527
00:32:50,516 --> 00:32:53,276
get lost in the mix because it's like,

528
00:32:53,428 --> 00:32:57,244
okay, we're here, people are shooting each other, nothing for a

529
00:32:57,252 --> 00:33:00,908
very long time. And you're sitting. You're into it,

530
00:33:00,964 --> 00:33:04,540
and then they tick all of the wind out of your

531
00:33:04,580 --> 00:33:07,820
sails. Because it just. For me,

532
00:33:07,860 --> 00:33:12,236
like I said, this movie falls apart with pacing. I enjoyed

533
00:33:12,268 --> 00:33:16,162
it when I finally was able to stay awake for it, but it's

534
00:33:16,226 --> 00:33:20,242
not put together well. It really isn't. There may

535
00:33:20,266 --> 00:33:24,642
be a few other points you both have that can extrapolate on

536
00:33:24,746 --> 00:33:27,922
a little bit, but this movie,

537
00:33:28,066 --> 00:33:32,030
they're being good. It has a lot of issues.

538
00:33:32,410 --> 00:33:35,682
So I will let whoever wants to go next take

539
00:33:35,706 --> 00:33:39,634
it away. Yeah, go for Lee. This is

540
00:33:39,642 --> 00:33:42,930
my second watch of this film. Back when I watched it in

541
00:33:42,970 --> 00:33:46,512
2014, I was just kind of meh on it. I was just like,

542
00:33:46,536 --> 00:33:50,144
okay, it's. It's George Clooney. He generally produces

543
00:33:50,192 --> 00:33:54,032
really good stuff. He's got an amazing cast,

544
00:33:54,096 --> 00:33:57,440
like, from top to bottom, just like a crazy cast.

545
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,384
And, you know, he's kind of the guy who has the kind of clout,

546
00:34:00,512 --> 00:34:03,776
at least at that time, where he could. He could put together a great cast.

547
00:34:03,808 --> 00:34:07,152
And, you know, Clooney was putting out some bangers of

548
00:34:07,256 --> 00:34:10,860
films around that time too. You know, he had a good track record.

549
00:34:12,010 --> 00:34:15,282
And this is a great story. Like, this is a great

550
00:34:15,386 --> 00:34:19,666
real life story that is worth reading

551
00:34:19,698 --> 00:34:23,026
about and. And, you know, reading about

552
00:34:23,098 --> 00:34:26,818
the real people behind. Because nobody in the. Other than, like,

553
00:34:26,874 --> 00:34:30,882
Winston Churchill in the cast and maybe a couple other people are

554
00:34:30,906 --> 00:34:33,410
not like, none of these people are real people. They're all,

555
00:34:33,450 --> 00:34:37,394
like, combinations or based on kind of things

556
00:34:37,482 --> 00:34:40,790
of, like, the real people that were in this unit.

557
00:34:41,830 --> 00:34:45,342
Like, there was like, over 300 volunteers,

558
00:34:45,406 --> 00:34:48,570
both men and women, that were sort of part of this.

559
00:34:49,670 --> 00:34:53,470
This thing to. To save stolen art and,

560
00:34:53,510 --> 00:34:56,850
you know, preserve art that the Nazis were either stealing or destroying.

561
00:34:58,390 --> 00:35:02,126
And this is kind of where this film falls apart. And I totally

562
00:35:02,158 --> 00:35:06,574
agree with Suzanne here. It's a major pacing

563
00:35:06,622 --> 00:35:10,704
issue because Clooney makes the mistake

564
00:35:10,752 --> 00:35:14,080
of trying to cover a little bit of everything when

565
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,488
he should have been really just focusing on a couple people and, like,

566
00:35:17,544 --> 00:35:20,880
making it a min on a mission film and a good

567
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,352
men on a mission film. You got your team together throughout the entire film for

568
00:35:24,376 --> 00:35:27,968
the most part, where you're. You're following that unit through the whole thing.

569
00:35:28,024 --> 00:35:31,680
Like, be it Kelly's Heroes to Saving

570
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,298
Private Ryan, you're following

571
00:35:35,434 --> 00:35:38,594
the same group of guys pretty much throughout the whole thing. Maybe a couple of

572
00:35:38,602 --> 00:35:42,050
them split off once in a while, but for the most part, they're.

573
00:35:42,130 --> 00:35:46,162
They're a cohesive group here. The movie jumps

574
00:35:46,226 --> 00:35:50,450
back and forth between pairs of people everywhere, and you

575
00:35:50,490 --> 00:35:53,746
don't really get to know the characters well enough, and you

576
00:35:53,818 --> 00:35:56,722
don't really get to, like, invest in them.

577
00:35:56,826 --> 00:36:00,412
I. I found personally and tonally,

578
00:36:00,476 --> 00:36:04,716
the film is just totally off. It wants

579
00:36:04,748 --> 00:36:08,572
to give you this jaunty, comedic almost kind of score behind

580
00:36:08,676 --> 00:36:11,612
everything and present, like,

581
00:36:11,636 --> 00:36:15,004
comedic moments. But it also wants

582
00:36:15,052 --> 00:36:18,764
to do the thing that every movie since Saving Private Ryan

583
00:36:18,812 --> 00:36:21,980
does. And, like, we've got to be more. We Got to be

584
00:36:22,020 --> 00:36:25,148
more fact based about the horrors

585
00:36:25,164 --> 00:36:29,366
of war. We've got it. We've got to be more realistic.

586
00:36:29,558 --> 00:36:32,582
And when that brushes up against the kind

587
00:36:32,606 --> 00:36:35,894
of comedy stuff that they're doing in this, which is, and you

588
00:36:35,902 --> 00:36:38,806
know, this is another thing about Clooney. He's a very old school kind of guy

589
00:36:38,838 --> 00:36:42,246
when it comes to his Hollywood stuff and the movies he likes.

590
00:36:42,358 --> 00:36:46,102
A lot of the people in this are doing stuff that you

591
00:36:46,126 --> 00:36:49,798
would see like the Rat Pack doing in movies back

592
00:36:49,854 --> 00:36:53,270
in the day where they, they'd have like a comedic charm thing

593
00:36:53,310 --> 00:36:56,664
going on. And like, any of the serious stuff

594
00:36:56,712 --> 00:37:00,504
would be a lot more toned down, but here the serious

595
00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:03,672
stuff is toned up quite a bit and it's brushing up

596
00:37:03,696 --> 00:37:07,660
against the comedy and the comedy feels outdated and wrong

597
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,280
when, when, you know, like smashing up against the horrors of

598
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,272
war that are presented in this film. And so there's, you know,

599
00:37:15,296 --> 00:37:19,048
there's, there's a tonal balance here that's off. There's, there's just

600
00:37:19,104 --> 00:37:22,924
a episodic weirdness to this

601
00:37:23,012 --> 00:37:26,620
that makes it hard to connect everything going on. If,

602
00:37:26,660 --> 00:37:30,236
if, if Clooney had managed to like, just narrow

603
00:37:30,268 --> 00:37:33,804
this down to like a group of like say five people

604
00:37:33,892 --> 00:37:37,004
in a squad together doing the thing,

605
00:37:37,172 --> 00:37:40,060
that would be much more interesting. Because, you know,

606
00:37:40,180 --> 00:37:43,804
this, if, if you look into the history of this, this stuff, like, Clooney gets

607
00:37:43,852 --> 00:37:48,006
a lot of wrong. And like, I, I mean, I don't feel like

608
00:37:48,158 --> 00:37:51,590
he was, you know, doing it wrong because

609
00:37:51,630 --> 00:37:55,606
he was stupid about this. He's intentionally changing

610
00:37:55,638 --> 00:37:59,334
the facts of this. He's changing the names of everybody. He's changing

611
00:37:59,382 --> 00:38:02,370
what happened and what happened when and, and how.

612
00:38:03,150 --> 00:38:06,678
So why not just do that in the context of like a really

613
00:38:06,734 --> 00:38:10,518
solid min. On a mission film with like a group of like five

614
00:38:10,574 --> 00:38:13,840
to ten people all together going straight through

615
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,192
the thing instead of like trying to split everybody apart and just

616
00:38:18,376 --> 00:38:21,760
this whole thing up. Yeah, it's, it's just

617
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,632
a really hard watch. I, on the second watch, I, I kind

618
00:38:25,656 --> 00:38:28,960
of hated this film. I was, I was getting

619
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,152
to the end of it. I was like, can, can we just get on with

620
00:38:31,176 --> 00:38:34,912
this? I mean, it picks up a little bit at the end, but for the

621
00:38:34,936 --> 00:38:38,224
most part I was just like, these people are wasted. Like, these actors are

622
00:38:38,232 --> 00:38:42,160
all really good. Speaking to what Suzanne was

623
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,232
saying about Bill Murray, you know, around this time,

624
00:38:45,256 --> 00:38:49,040
he's got that cloud of like, I've been in a bunch of Wes Anderson films,

625
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,860
so I can just walk on to a film and say some

626
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:56,912
and everyone's gonna Love it. And it's like, it doesn't really work in

627
00:38:56,936 --> 00:39:00,672
this film. Like, if anything, Bob Balaban's carrying his

628
00:39:00,696 --> 00:39:04,144
ass in this film. And Bob Balaban is actually the best thing in

629
00:39:04,152 --> 00:39:07,928
this film as far as I'm concerned. I enjoyed him because he's

630
00:39:07,944 --> 00:39:11,976
just, he's in a different movie. It's enjoyable

631
00:39:12,008 --> 00:39:15,544
to see him just in a different movie. And yeah,

632
00:39:15,592 --> 00:39:19,192
no, I. I kind of. I kind of hated this movie on the

633
00:39:19,216 --> 00:39:22,248
second watch. I was just like. It's because it's so much

634
00:39:22,304 --> 00:39:26,380
talent and just so much wasted potential

635
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,344
and just bad decisions that kind of like. It kind

636
00:39:30,352 --> 00:39:33,102
of irked me the wrong way this time watching it.

637
00:39:33,286 --> 00:39:37,166
I mean, you guys are all right about everything. I mean. But you mentioned

638
00:39:37,198 --> 00:39:40,686
Kelly's heroes. This should have been your modern

639
00:39:40,718 --> 00:39:43,630
day Kelly's heroes. Yes, in my opinion,

640
00:39:43,790 --> 00:39:47,550
if they were all together. But like you said, you have this on

641
00:39:47,590 --> 00:39:51,118
like a, A European scale to where they have to be in different

642
00:39:51,174 --> 00:39:55,070
places to get different things. You split up these, these six

643
00:39:55,110 --> 00:39:58,366
or eight. These eight people, I think, all together.

644
00:39:58,518 --> 00:40:02,094
You know, there should have been a much larger.

645
00:40:02,142 --> 00:40:05,930
Larger scale. Their search for these, the stolen art.

646
00:40:06,790 --> 00:40:10,318
I would love to read the actual story of all this too,

647
00:40:10,374 --> 00:40:14,530
just to get a little insight about what actually happened.

648
00:40:14,870 --> 00:40:18,574
I think one of the big problems this film was you

649
00:40:18,582 --> 00:40:21,950
have a great cast that's very capable of making

650
00:40:21,990 --> 00:40:25,336
a good movie. There's a lot of. There's a lot of tragedy

651
00:40:25,368 --> 00:40:28,500
in this film, but there's not so much.

652
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,896
I don't want to say make it fun, but that's a good thing.

653
00:40:31,968 --> 00:40:35,864
That's. Was the medium that, that made Kelly T. Work so well, is that

654
00:40:35,952 --> 00:40:39,688
there was a serious situation going on there. But I'm not saying,

655
00:40:39,744 --> 00:40:42,952
you know, throw, throw a. Throw oddball in there, you know,

656
00:40:42,976 --> 00:40:46,392
throw in there to lighten the mood. But,

657
00:40:46,496 --> 00:40:49,512
you know, make it, make it. I. I hate you again.

658
00:40:49,536 --> 00:40:52,700
Gotta go back to Clooney and Matt Damon. Make it more like

659
00:40:52,740 --> 00:40:55,948
Ocean's Eleven in a way, just to say,

660
00:40:56,004 --> 00:40:59,440
hey, you know, let's take this serious

661
00:40:59,860 --> 00:41:02,716
war movie. Yeah. That we're trying to make,

662
00:41:02,868 --> 00:41:06,956
you know, it. Add. Add some footage there because anytime Bob

663
00:41:06,988 --> 00:41:09,580
Bella bends on screen with somebody,

664
00:41:09,740 --> 00:41:13,400
there's the part where, where they, they get.

665
00:41:14,660 --> 00:41:18,370
He gets busted outside, I guess, taking a piss. But there's a Nazi

666
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:22,182
there. That part with him and J. Goodman is gold.

667
00:41:22,366 --> 00:41:26,102
You know, the part with him and Bill

668
00:41:26,126 --> 00:41:29,574
Murray go off alone is, Is gold. There needs to be more of that,

669
00:41:29,662 --> 00:41:32,998
you know. No, you're right. Like Clooney's

670
00:41:33,014 --> 00:41:36,278
Obviously trying for the, the sort

671
00:41:36,294 --> 00:41:39,766
of Ocean's Eleven formula, like kind of, you know,

672
00:41:39,838 --> 00:41:43,542
stuck into this Men on a mission film. But he just doesn't,

673
00:41:43,606 --> 00:41:46,588
he doesn't nail it. Like, it, it just, it doesn't connect.

674
00:41:46,604 --> 00:41:49,756
And he's also like, he seems really concerned

675
00:41:49,788 --> 00:41:52,860
about making America the heroes and

676
00:41:52,900 --> 00:41:56,668
like, kind of whitewashing a lot of, you know,

677
00:41:56,724 --> 00:42:00,556
just like any, any of the bad things America might have done during the war.

678
00:42:00,628 --> 00:42:04,348
Like, it's a real American exceptionalism

679
00:42:04,444 --> 00:42:07,692
kind of narrative going on.

680
00:42:07,876 --> 00:42:11,452
So that also kind of especially these days, not to,

681
00:42:11,476 --> 00:42:14,850
you know, company excluded in this, in this call, but,

682
00:42:14,890 --> 00:42:18,658
you know, the Americans are not necessarily putting their best foot

683
00:42:18,714 --> 00:42:21,570
forward these days in the world stage. So,

684
00:42:21,610 --> 00:42:24,482
like watching this movie kind of like, really,

685
00:42:24,666 --> 00:42:27,682
it's a real stinker when it comes to that. It's just like,

686
00:42:27,706 --> 00:42:31,042
oh, bad taste in the mouth. No, the way that he split them

687
00:42:31,066 --> 00:42:35,810
up, it's almost, I think he even says cereal and

688
00:42:35,930 --> 00:42:39,132
present it. I mean, for me,

689
00:42:39,156 --> 00:42:43,244
the problem there is the flow. The flow is broken

690
00:42:43,292 --> 00:42:46,492
when you're jumping between what every pair

691
00:42:46,556 --> 00:42:50,040
is doing and it takes you out

692
00:42:50,420 --> 00:42:53,708
because you're like, oh, wait, what? Okay, how did I get here?

693
00:42:53,764 --> 00:42:56,556
There was really no step.

694
00:42:56,708 --> 00:43:01,132
You're just there. I mean, I don't need to be spoon fed,

695
00:43:01,316 --> 00:43:05,442
but if you're going to cut to that, it needs to make sense.

696
00:43:05,636 --> 00:43:09,142
And it feels like, it feels like it cuts like some

697
00:43:09,166 --> 00:43:12,534
of the, you know, when he's going for the serious stuff where he's

698
00:43:12,582 --> 00:43:16,454
like, oh, one of our characters dies or something, and that

699
00:43:16,462 --> 00:43:20,166
should be a really serious moment. It feels like it, it undercuts

700
00:43:20,198 --> 00:43:23,830
it because we're immediately moving on to something else almost right afterwards.

701
00:43:23,910 --> 00:43:27,718
And, oh, I know when he's there holding his chest and we

702
00:43:27,774 --> 00:43:31,030
just jump to the next instead of like,

703
00:43:31,070 --> 00:43:34,910
wait a minute. Yeah. No, this is a powerful

704
00:43:34,990 --> 00:43:37,838
moment that you're, you've just squandered.

705
00:43:38,014 --> 00:43:42,078
Mm. It's the presentation. I'm sorry.

706
00:43:42,254 --> 00:43:45,422
Oh, no, no, go ahead. I'm done. You get more

707
00:43:45,446 --> 00:43:48,878
time with Bill Murray, you know, when he gets the record or whatever he gets

708
00:43:48,894 --> 00:43:51,742
for, from his family. And I, I think it's a real nice moment of the

709
00:43:51,766 --> 00:43:54,942
film to where, you know, we get a phonograph and then,

710
00:43:54,966 --> 00:43:59,174
you know, they, they play the recording. And it's tonight's Christmasy

711
00:43:59,222 --> 00:44:02,410
moment and nice emotional moment for Bill Murray.

712
00:44:02,990 --> 00:44:06,454
I'm enjoying this when it's not to Bill Murray because

713
00:44:06,622 --> 00:44:09,750
people, like, suck off Groundhog Day. And I,

714
00:44:09,790 --> 00:44:12,406
I've seen it this, I've seen it for the first time this year and I'm

715
00:44:12,438 --> 00:44:15,878
still not a credit all the way through and I'm still not

716
00:44:16,014 --> 00:44:19,622
impressed with all. But you know, I, with the exception of

717
00:44:19,646 --> 00:44:22,598
like Stripes and Ghostbusters,

718
00:44:22,774 --> 00:44:26,994
I, I prefer the dramatic, you know,

719
00:44:27,162 --> 00:44:30,578
Bill Murray more than the other one at this point.

720
00:44:30,714 --> 00:44:34,322
You know, don't get me wrong, like, I, I, I love

721
00:44:34,346 --> 00:44:38,002
Bill Murray and I think a lot of the stuff he's, he's been

722
00:44:38,026 --> 00:44:41,666
doing in the last 20, 30 years has been really great.

723
00:44:41,818 --> 00:44:45,650
I just feel like the kind of stuff he's known for

724
00:44:45,690 --> 00:44:49,138
doing, like the kind of Wes Anderson stuff doesn't really

725
00:44:49,194 --> 00:44:52,824
fit this film. Like, like, if you want to do, like if you

726
00:44:52,832 --> 00:44:56,440
want to do charm and comedy in a film like

727
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,880
this where you're trying to be more serious at the same time and

728
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:03,592
you're like, you know, you're trying to present an interesting serious

729
00:45:03,656 --> 00:45:06,776
story. Unless you're going full on comedy.

730
00:45:06,808 --> 00:45:10,088
In that case, yes, have Bill Murray do the he's doing in this film.

731
00:45:10,224 --> 00:45:13,928
But if you're not going to do that, then you go for more of the

732
00:45:13,984 --> 00:45:17,832
sort of charismatic charm that you get from like a Tom Hanks

733
00:45:17,896 --> 00:45:21,656
in Saving Private Ryan. There's funny moments and Save it Private Saving

734
00:45:21,688 --> 00:45:25,012
Private Rya. And there's charming moments in that film between the

735
00:45:25,036 --> 00:45:28,692
characters as you're, you know, like trying to crack

736
00:45:28,756 --> 00:45:32,324
jokes under the horrors of this mission

737
00:45:32,372 --> 00:45:36,020
they're, they're undertaking when, when they should be going the home.

738
00:45:36,140 --> 00:45:40,084
But they're going to like five fine Matt Damon's ass.

739
00:45:40,252 --> 00:45:43,732
And that, that kind of resonates and

740
00:45:43,756 --> 00:45:46,548
that's, that's powerful stuff. But here it's just like,

741
00:45:46,684 --> 00:45:50,214
oh, it's Bill Murray. He's doing his Wes Anderton Anderson

742
00:45:50,262 --> 00:45:53,730
thing in this movie and it's like really bumping up against

743
00:45:54,030 --> 00:45:57,574
the seriousness and like the emotional thing

744
00:45:57,662 --> 00:46:01,046
here and the like we're saving art and, and all that stuff,

745
00:46:01,078 --> 00:46:04,886
like it just doesn't, it doesn't vibe with it. For me personally,

746
00:46:04,918 --> 00:46:08,230
I, I just felt like it was a real juxtaposition that

747
00:46:08,270 --> 00:46:11,942
didn't work. Well, there are a few scenes that should have carried

748
00:46:12,006 --> 00:46:15,782
a lot more weight and the one we just discussed, when he

749
00:46:15,886 --> 00:46:17,770
is shot in the chest,

750
00:46:18,750 --> 00:46:22,374
he's gonna die. And the, just the

751
00:46:22,462 --> 00:46:26,010
fast cut away from that. This is a powerful moment.

752
00:46:26,350 --> 00:46:29,862
This is an important moment. The other one

753
00:46:29,966 --> 00:46:33,318
that bothered me was it didn't

754
00:46:33,334 --> 00:46:37,158
have to be long, it just needed to be proper.

755
00:46:37,294 --> 00:46:40,790
When he finally sees the Rembrandt that his

756
00:46:40,830 --> 00:46:44,210
grandfather would never let him see. You know,

757
00:46:44,250 --> 00:46:48,322
I mean, seriously, this is A really important moment for

758
00:46:48,346 --> 00:46:52,226
this character, actually, just seeing it, and it's

759
00:46:52,258 --> 00:46:55,870
just kind of. It's not treated well.

760
00:46:56,170 --> 00:47:00,050
And then with the rings in the teeth, you're almost there.

761
00:47:00,090 --> 00:47:03,710
With that scene, you're almost there. They see the.

762
00:47:04,650 --> 00:47:09,070
The teeth, the rings, the horror of that,

763
00:47:09,380 --> 00:47:13,400
and it's. They missed it.

764
00:47:14,180 --> 00:47:18,348
But these are important parts. And you're

765
00:47:18,364 --> 00:47:22,492
right, it should have been pick a line for

766
00:47:22,516 --> 00:47:26,924
the group to work together, but they tried to cover everything

767
00:47:27,092 --> 00:47:30,860
and spread everything too thin. And I

768
00:47:30,900 --> 00:47:34,684
can't say in proper hands it would have been treated any better, but maybe

769
00:47:34,732 --> 00:47:38,380
somebody could have found, you know, a common thread

770
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,712
to, you know, get as much of the information,

771
00:47:42,896 --> 00:47:46,072
flesh out, you know, the composite characters

772
00:47:46,136 --> 00:47:49,300
a little bit. But none of this was done.

773
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:54,248
Yeah, I mean, the way. The way he mixes

774
00:47:54,264 --> 00:47:57,848
and matches, like, real people and changes names and stuff, like you can

775
00:47:57,904 --> 00:48:00,936
form. If you're gonna do that. Okay, that's cool. You know,

776
00:48:01,008 --> 00:48:04,592
based on a true story. That's fine. You know,

777
00:48:04,616 --> 00:48:08,480
you. You can assemble your team of these fictional based

778
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,872
on true people characters, and you can still kind

779
00:48:11,896 --> 00:48:15,552
of follow the general narrative, what actually happened in real life, and you

780
00:48:15,576 --> 00:48:18,060
can make them in on a mission story out of it.

781
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,128
But when you're just like. You're trying to cover everything,

782
00:48:22,264 --> 00:48:25,776
it's just. You can't do it because this was such a major

783
00:48:25,848 --> 00:48:28,976
operation. Like, there was a lot going on. A lot happened

784
00:48:29,008 --> 00:48:32,626
in this story. Yeah. And you're just in. This movie

785
00:48:32,658 --> 00:48:36,146
is like two hours, but you're still not. You're still not covering

786
00:48:36,178 --> 00:48:39,522
it. You're not even scratching the surface, really. So it's better just

787
00:48:39,546 --> 00:48:42,850
to have like, a solid unit of guys that you get to know.

788
00:48:42,970 --> 00:48:46,322
You set it up at the beginning. Like, yes, this is a big undertaking.

789
00:48:46,386 --> 00:48:49,730
This is just one group and like a massive undertaking

790
00:48:49,810 --> 00:48:53,682
to, like, save this art. And you follow their one mission.

791
00:48:53,826 --> 00:48:56,706
So, you know, the setup, you know, other stuff is going on. You could maybe

792
00:48:56,738 --> 00:49:00,162
hear about it here and there as it's going on or whatever. And then

793
00:49:00,186 --> 00:49:03,698
at the end, maybe you get like a little text thing

794
00:49:03,754 --> 00:49:07,042
saying, also, these people saved this and. And this kind

795
00:49:07,066 --> 00:49:11,490
of thing at the end, but you should just be following this core group on

796
00:49:11,530 --> 00:49:14,418
a mission a minute. On a mission. Thing is a p. Is a thing people

797
00:49:14,474 --> 00:49:18,322
understand. It's. It's an easy story to do. It's a.

798
00:49:18,426 --> 00:49:22,018
It's a. It's a smart story to do cinematically.

799
00:49:22,194 --> 00:49:25,330
And I. The. The fact that Clooney didn't do it,

800
00:49:25,370 --> 00:49:28,870
especially when he's, like, trying to put, like, Ocean's eleven

801
00:49:28,990 --> 00:49:32,934
kind of stuff into this thing which is all about a group of

802
00:49:32,942 --> 00:49:36,850
people doing a thing. Why can't you do that?

803
00:49:37,470 --> 00:49:40,998
Yeah. Brand new emotions. Love it.

804
00:49:41,054 --> 00:49:44,582
They took that thing, you know from the 60s where you had these men

805
00:49:44,606 --> 00:49:47,894
on a mission things and they all, they all. It's like a

806
00:49:47,902 --> 00:49:51,206
spy thing. They all have their own specialty. You know one guy's

807
00:49:51,238 --> 00:49:55,016
gonna take a peers. What one guy's, you know, you got the Asian

808
00:49:55,048 --> 00:49:59,352
guy. They get a small spaces and is agile. You know.

809
00:49:59,536 --> 00:50:02,952
All these people had. Had a purpose. I mean all these guys together in

810
00:50:02,976 --> 00:50:06,520
here. Like I said, they broke them up. You know you

811
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,520
get to learn how they, how they would work together and it just,

812
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,840
it just, it just doesn't work and. But none of them are actually really soldiers.

813
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,712
This is why I find the concept and the more I think about

814
00:50:18,736 --> 00:50:22,142
it, the more they. Norris they. So I

815
00:50:22,166 --> 00:50:25,838
mean they weren't. They were, but they weren't.

816
00:50:25,934 --> 00:50:30,062
They weren't, you know, battle tested soldiers.

817
00:50:30,206 --> 00:50:33,662
Yep. And then they're out on their own in pairs.

818
00:50:33,806 --> 00:50:38,110
Come on. Yeah. Which is just like okay. That's completely

819
00:50:38,190 --> 00:50:41,838
unbelievable. They would be dead in 24

820
00:50:41,894 --> 00:50:45,170
hours. Yep. Oh my gosh.

821
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,112
I'll kick it. This what you want to say about Monuments

822
00:50:49,176 --> 00:50:52,904
Man? If this was a first time watch, this would

823
00:50:52,912 --> 00:50:56,760
be on my worst of first time watches this year because the

824
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,672
second watch the second go around. I just,

825
00:50:59,856 --> 00:51:02,984
I just found everything I missed. I. I must have

826
00:51:02,992 --> 00:51:06,248
watched. I. I think one of the first time I watched this I was like

827
00:51:06,304 --> 00:51:09,416
Suzanne. I was kind of sleeping through it because it, it takes

828
00:51:09,448 --> 00:51:12,604
so long to get going. So I just kind of like eh.

829
00:51:12,712 --> 00:51:16,452
It's mid. I'll give it two and a half stars on letterboxd or

830
00:51:16,476 --> 00:51:19,956
whatever now it wouldn't be getting any stars. I kind of actively hate

831
00:51:19,988 --> 00:51:23,524
this movie. I think it, I think it's. It just the talent

832
00:51:23,572 --> 00:51:27,236
involved. Dropping the ball this hard is

833
00:51:27,388 --> 00:51:30,308
insulting to the viewer. Like it's just.

834
00:51:30,444 --> 00:51:34,068
It's probably the worst thing Clooney's ever done and that's including Return

835
00:51:34,124 --> 00:51:36,080
of the Killer Tomatoes. So.

836
00:51:39,430 --> 00:51:43,006
So there you go. At least he's

837
00:51:43,038 --> 00:51:46,446
having fun in that movie. I will say that. Yeah. At least he gets to

838
00:51:46,518 --> 00:51:50,590
roll around with Terry wiggle in her underwear on a bed for a scene.

839
00:51:50,670 --> 00:51:53,934
Yeah. Suzanne. Except for me

840
00:51:54,102 --> 00:51:56,250
finally sitting and watching it.

841
00:51:56,550 --> 00:52:00,398
And for me it's, it's. It's wasted

842
00:52:00,574 --> 00:52:04,094
potential. There is so many portions

843
00:52:04,142 --> 00:52:07,376
of this movie that could be so very,

844
00:52:07,448 --> 00:52:10,980
very good with the caliber of talent involved.

845
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:16,592
But he just didn't even deftly Turn it into vignettes.

846
00:52:16,736 --> 00:52:21,264
It. It just. It just bothers me that

847
00:52:21,432 --> 00:52:24,700
this is such a powerful story and

848
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,256
yet it's completely

849
00:52:28,448 --> 00:52:31,968
mishandled. It's like he's trying to get everybody as much screen time

850
00:52:32,024 --> 00:52:35,820
as possible without pulling

851
00:52:35,980 --> 00:52:39,436
the common thread through. Yep. It just.

852
00:52:39,508 --> 00:52:42,812
It. It pisses me off because this

853
00:52:42,996 --> 00:52:46,508
should be amazing. It should be amazing.

854
00:52:46,684 --> 00:52:50,220
I'm disappointed. I'm at, like, I'll give it

855
00:52:50,260 --> 00:52:54,316
half a star because Bob Balaban is amazing. He is.

856
00:52:54,468 --> 00:52:58,012
Yeah. Protect Bob Bellad. He's a treasure. Is. I'll say about that

857
00:52:58,036 --> 00:53:00,480
one. Yes, indeed.

858
00:53:01,300 --> 00:53:05,080
I. I think it said so much.

859
00:53:05,540 --> 00:53:08,652
In a lot of movies, in the proper hands,

860
00:53:08,796 --> 00:53:12,124
this film could have really been something. And I hate to say it

861
00:53:12,132 --> 00:53:15,436
about Clooney because he's. He's made some good stuff over the years.

862
00:53:15,588 --> 00:53:19,036
It's just. I think he was really reaching for something.

863
00:53:19,188 --> 00:53:22,524
I. I'm not even gonna say that wasn't there. It was there.

864
00:53:22,692 --> 00:53:26,460
But you. You needed to make it more like Kelly's Heroes to match your.

865
00:53:26,580 --> 00:53:30,142
And I forgot to mention how stupid the. The jaunty

866
00:53:30,206 --> 00:53:34,050
score was. That didn't match the movie. In this movie, too. Oh, it's terrible.

867
00:53:34,470 --> 00:53:35,330
God.

868
00:53:39,030 --> 00:53:42,302
It'S playing that jaunty score while John Goodman and

869
00:53:42,326 --> 00:53:46,174
what's his face are being shot at by that Nazi youth soldier

870
00:53:46,222 --> 00:53:49,694
in the building. Like, what? There's another

871
00:53:49,782 --> 00:53:53,806
moment that it. It's like Full Metal

872
00:53:53,838 --> 00:53:57,824
Jacket when they realize it's that they finally go up. It's that

873
00:53:57,902 --> 00:54:01,964
girl. Yeah. This is. This is completely

874
00:54:02,012 --> 00:54:05,964
the horrors of war, and yet they're trying to make you laugh

875
00:54:06,012 --> 00:54:09,548
about it. I'm surprised John

876
00:54:09,604 --> 00:54:13,640
Goodman didn't. John Goodman didn't grab him and spank him.

877
00:54:15,380 --> 00:54:18,588
Like the. The only. The. Honestly, I think the only

878
00:54:18,644 --> 00:54:21,916
real human moment that kind of works in this film for the most part,

879
00:54:21,988 --> 00:54:25,260
is when Bill Murray and Bob Balaban are sitting down with

880
00:54:25,300 --> 00:54:28,498
that. That young kid who. Who had the gun on

881
00:54:28,554 --> 00:54:32,306
Balaban, and they. They just share a smoke and then go their. Their separate

882
00:54:32,338 --> 00:54:35,570
ways. Yeah, that's a good. That's a good little moment. I mean,

883
00:54:35,610 --> 00:54:38,770
it's like, what film is that? What film is that from? Where's the film that

884
00:54:38,810 --> 00:54:41,910
that's from? I want to see that film. Exactly.

885
00:54:42,250 --> 00:54:45,922
I mean, you mentioned Wes Anderson. I mean, give this to us, Anderson. You know,

886
00:54:45,946 --> 00:54:48,482
see what he'll do with the material. I would love to see that or.

887
00:54:48,586 --> 00:54:52,050
Or the Cohen brothers or something. Anybody else.

888
00:54:52,210 --> 00:54:54,904
Yeah, they would focus in one direction, right? Yes,

889
00:54:54,952 --> 00:54:58,328
indeed. And this is all over the place, unfortunately. And I.

890
00:54:58,384 --> 00:55:01,608
I like I said, this is a film that I should have liked it upon

891
00:55:01,704 --> 00:55:05,320
its release. And I thought maybe it was just the frame of mind

892
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,552
I was in to say, hey, I didn't like this so much. So I

893
00:55:08,576 --> 00:55:12,184
said, hey, I'm gonna watch it again. And now we're gonna do another show to

894
00:55:12,192 --> 00:55:16,440
see what you guys think. Because I was. I was really confused

895
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,854
by. By my thoughts on the film.

896
00:55:19,992 --> 00:55:23,442
And like I said, this is a cast that should have worked. It should

897
00:55:23,466 --> 00:55:27,730
have worked. And it plays a lot of tragedy here, but the tragedy,

898
00:55:27,890 --> 00:55:31,842
the tragedy is justified, just not executed

899
00:55:31,906 --> 00:55:35,714
very well. It needs to be more fun and more

900
00:55:35,802 --> 00:55:39,378
serious. What? It needed to be serious. And, you know,

901
00:55:39,434 --> 00:55:43,058
you get a big mention of, you know, I'd like to say this one that

902
00:55:43,114 --> 00:55:46,242
died and that one died, but you did it for the

903
00:55:46,266 --> 00:55:49,154
art. Was it worth it? Blah, blah, blah. It'll say, but yes,

904
00:55:49,202 --> 00:55:52,558
yes, it was. Yada, yada, yada. Who gives a. At that point? It. It just.

905
00:55:52,694 --> 00:55:56,462
You didn't make them care about it. I mean, it's the people try to compare

906
00:55:56,606 --> 00:56:00,478
the dawn of the Dead remake to. To the original one. While both are good

907
00:56:00,534 --> 00:56:04,686
films, you know, the first version of that makes you concentrate

908
00:56:04,718 --> 00:56:07,582
and make you care about those four. Those four characters.

909
00:56:07,726 --> 00:56:11,246
I mean, this one has like eight characters. So it shouldn't have been that hard

910
00:56:11,398 --> 00:56:14,990
for it be to. To build devastation to when one of them dies.

911
00:56:15,150 --> 00:56:17,534
You know, I mean, they did it. They did it with a Dirty dozen,

912
00:56:17,582 --> 00:56:20,862
for sakes. And there was a dozen of them. Oh, God, the Dirty Dozen is

913
00:56:20,886 --> 00:56:24,426
almost perfect. That I love the Wild Geese.

914
00:56:24,618 --> 00:56:27,706
Yes, the Wild Geese.

915
00:56:27,818 --> 00:56:29,270
The, the.

916
00:56:31,250 --> 00:56:35,350
The. Even the second one, the. The Spanda Prison one.

917
00:56:36,370 --> 00:56:40,122
It's just. Once again, you have an amazing ensemble

918
00:56:40,186 --> 00:56:43,018
cast and you, you mentioned it several times.

919
00:56:43,154 --> 00:56:47,338
Men on a mission. This works. There's a reason this works.

920
00:56:47,434 --> 00:56:50,300
There's a reason it still works.

921
00:56:50,460 --> 00:56:54,796
Yep. Also just gotta point out that

922
00:56:54,868 --> 00:56:58,396
the. The guy they got to be, the old George Clooney, is with his son

923
00:56:58,428 --> 00:57:01,724
at the end. Man, does he not match up? Oh, God,

924
00:57:01,772 --> 00:57:05,164
no. I'm sorry. George Clooney. You cannot make him look like

925
00:57:05,172 --> 00:57:09,612
a regular person. He's a beautiful man. And if

926
00:57:09,636 --> 00:57:13,500
you're gonna give me this guy who looks like, I don't know,

927
00:57:13,620 --> 00:57:17,062
like a busted ass skid row

928
00:57:17,126 --> 00:57:20,646
bum in the 70s comp, you know, I'm sorry.

929
00:57:20,678 --> 00:57:24,102
Don't work. Don't work, bro. I was

930
00:57:24,126 --> 00:57:27,350
like, oh, that's supposed to be George Clooney. Okay, that makes no

931
00:57:27,390 --> 00:57:30,838
sense. Like George Clooney. You don't have to have Modesty. You can,

932
00:57:30,894 --> 00:57:34,454
you can find somebody who looks really good and,

933
00:57:34,542 --> 00:57:37,894
and just have you looking good in your 70s because you're gonna look good in

934
00:57:37,902 --> 00:57:41,238
your 70s. Let's face it, you're almost there, if not there already. So.

935
00:57:41,294 --> 00:57:44,596
No, if he's in his 60s. Yeah. So. Yeah. And he's

936
00:57:44,628 --> 00:57:48,068
still. Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people would go hop

937
00:57:48,124 --> 00:57:51,300
on that. I'm not gonna say I'm not one of them either.

938
00:57:51,380 --> 00:57:54,500
I mean, I mean, him and Brad Pitt just did a movie together. What,

939
00:57:54,540 --> 00:57:58,340
Wolves or something it was called, and I think it got buried.

940
00:57:58,420 --> 00:58:01,780
But they're still looking good. Pitts in his like late 50s and

941
00:58:01,820 --> 00:58:05,060
he looks like he's 30. So for sakes,

942
00:58:05,220 --> 00:58:08,852
let's not kid anybody here. Yeah, I know. They are very pretty

943
00:58:08,916 --> 00:58:12,128
men. It's, it's. But can we just do,

944
00:58:12,184 --> 00:58:16,544
can we. Can Tom Cruise just spontaneously

945
00:58:16,592 --> 00:58:19,728
combust or something? Because I cannot stand him. Well,

946
00:58:19,784 --> 00:58:23,216
he probably will at some point. He's a vampire. There's something

947
00:58:23,288 --> 00:58:26,704
wrong with his face. I want to make a statement.

948
00:58:26,792 --> 00:58:30,272
Okay. Last time I was at Suzanne's house, I made her

949
00:58:30,296 --> 00:58:33,216
watch Rocky pages. Enjoyed that.

950
00:58:33,288 --> 00:58:36,782
Okay. Is. I'll say about that, you know. Well, I was getting like

951
00:58:36,806 --> 00:58:39,290
my 80s hair metal on. Come on, man,

952
00:58:40,790 --> 00:58:44,030
she can dig the artifice of 80s hair metal and,

953
00:58:44,070 --> 00:58:47,490
and you know, ignore the artifice of Tom Cruise.

954
00:58:49,030 --> 00:58:51,290
I have two brain cells to rub together.

955
00:58:55,590 --> 00:58:59,070
So the end of this day is that Clint is a pretty dreamy man and

956
00:58:59,110 --> 00:59:01,170
Bob Balaban needs to be protected.

957
00:59:02,830 --> 00:59:06,470
No, he should be protected like an endangered species.

958
00:59:06,630 --> 00:59:10,646
Yes, he needs. Bob Alaban's one of those dudes who needs to die

959
00:59:10,678 --> 00:59:14,662
at like age 112 surrounded by friends and family and

960
00:59:14,686 --> 00:59:17,770
a. 20 year old wife because he deserves it. Yeah,

961
00:59:18,830 --> 00:59:22,534
but, yeah, that's, that's where we're land on this one. It's, it's not a recommend

962
00:59:22,582 --> 00:59:25,734
by any of us, but you know, make your own decision,

963
00:59:25,822 --> 00:59:28,752
I guess, you know. Yeah. Have fun.

964
00:59:28,856 --> 00:59:32,720
Sucker man. Speaking of suckers,

965
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,824
man. And inappropriate indigenous people.

966
00:59:35,992 --> 00:59:40,096
But we're going to talk about the next film after the here Jade

967
00:59:40,128 --> 00:59:43,840
in the Lost City from 1987, rather this

968
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:44,660
trailer.

969
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,950
The lost Ark, the doomed temple.

970
00:59:54,530 --> 00:59:58,282
The restless natives. The dashing soldier of

971
00:59:58,306 --> 01:00:01,514
fortune. The plucky heroine

972
01:00:01,562 --> 01:00:04,938
who's ready for anything. And the friendly little

973
01:00:04,994 --> 01:00:08,154
monkeys are all back together again.

974
01:00:08,322 --> 01:00:12,074
And you're in for an epic, gigantic, really huge

975
01:00:12,122 --> 01:00:15,930
event. That is a big one. You ain't seen nothing yet, baby. When you join

976
01:00:16,010 --> 01:00:18,230
the search for the Lost City.

977
01:00:19,500 --> 01:00:23,012
Where is the Lost City? The Lost City. The Lost City. What do you know

978
01:00:23,036 --> 01:00:26,548
about this Lost City? Um, which one?

979
01:00:26,604 --> 01:00:29,700
Barbie? It's Remarkable Courage.

980
01:00:29,780 --> 01:00:33,492
We got your bravest warrior against unspeakable

981
01:00:33,556 --> 01:00:37,204
evil. A whole week and I haven't targeted anyone. It's Deadly

982
01:00:37,252 --> 01:00:40,884
Encounters. Look out. Compromising positions.

983
01:00:41,012 --> 01:00:44,366
Made it. Pagan rights. Be careful.

984
01:00:44,398 --> 01:00:48,190
Jan's annoyed. Don't think I like the way he

985
01:00:48,230 --> 01:00:51,570
said that. Featuring the Queen from African Queen.

986
01:00:53,350 --> 01:00:57,326
Jolly glad I didn't meet you on the hockey field. The Tango

987
01:00:57,358 --> 01:01:01,570
from Last Tango. And the Krak

988
01:01:01,910 --> 01:01:05,390
from Krakatoa. East of Java. Oh, God, that's all we

989
01:01:05,430 --> 01:01:09,086
need. Starring Sam Jones as the unbeatable Jack.

990
01:01:09,198 --> 01:01:12,728
Well, folks, I think we're in trouble. Maude Adams as Lola

991
01:01:12,744 --> 01:01:16,264
Pagola. Hands up all of you. And Kirsten Hughes

992
01:01:16,312 --> 01:01:19,784
as the ever resourceful Jane in the Smashing

993
01:01:19,832 --> 01:01:23,420
Adventure epic that doesn't take itself too seriously.

994
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,060
Jane and the Lost City.

995
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,900
Jane and the Lost City from 1987.

996
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:37,228
Yoshima plot synopsis is this. Jade and the Colonel

997
01:01:37,244 --> 01:01:40,956
must travel to Africa to the Lost City to retrieve the diamonds

998
01:01:40,988 --> 01:01:45,004
before the Germans do. Based on the classic adult the UK comic strip

999
01:01:45,052 --> 01:01:48,396
Jane, especially popular during World War II for its strong

1000
01:01:48,468 --> 01:01:52,412
pin up elements. This is directed by Terry Marcel who

1001
01:01:52,436 --> 01:01:55,800
gave us some interesting genre stuff. I'd say.

1002
01:01:56,340 --> 01:02:00,760
Prisoners of the Lost Universe. Starring the great Richard Hatch from

1003
01:02:02,610 --> 01:02:05,754
Hawk the Slayer. Which is entertaining.

1004
01:02:05,802 --> 01:02:09,930
Sort of sandal fair. Yeah. That's about the.

1005
01:02:09,970 --> 01:02:14,154
The height of what I enjoy that he did. I. I explore a

1006
01:02:14,162 --> 01:02:18,026
lot. A lot of other TV other than that. Right? Yeah, a lot of tv.

1007
01:02:18,138 --> 01:02:21,642
But those two are pretty good. And I, I don't. I don't hate this movie

1008
01:02:21,786 --> 01:02:25,910
for spoilers, you know. He also helped write the film as well.

1009
01:02:27,340 --> 01:02:30,324
The stars, Sam J. Jones himself. Mr.

1010
01:02:30,372 --> 01:02:35,252
Flash Gordon as Jungle Jack Buck Octopus

1011
01:02:35,316 --> 01:02:38,708
herself. Mod Adams as Fraulein Lola

1012
01:02:38,724 --> 01:02:41,796
Pagola. My favorite character of the whole

1013
01:02:41,828 --> 01:02:45,428
thing plays hey Rick times

1014
01:02:45,484 --> 01:02:48,292
three because he plays all his brothers too. Yeah.

1015
01:02:48,436 --> 01:02:51,652
Cursed uses Jane Graham Stark,

1016
01:02:51,716 --> 01:02:55,170
who is featured in a bunch of Pink Panther films that I have not seen.

1017
01:02:55,210 --> 01:02:57,910
It's a blue blind spot for me, those Pink Panther films.

1018
01:02:59,130 --> 01:03:02,914
Robin Bailey is the Colonel. Ian Roberts classic

1019
01:03:02,962 --> 01:03:07,170
Meathead as Carl the Enforcer. Elso Tool is

1020
01:03:07,210 --> 01:03:11,602
the Leopard Queen. John Rapley is Dr.

1021
01:03:11,746 --> 01:03:15,058
Schnell Shell who I should. I'm gonna look right now and tell you what I've

1022
01:03:15,074 --> 01:03:18,670
seen a minute. I've seen his face at least six things.

1023
01:03:18,970 --> 01:03:23,030
You know. Is this the guy that could easily been Donald Pleasance.

1024
01:03:23,170 --> 01:03:26,510
Yes, that guy. Yeah. No,

1025
01:03:26,550 --> 01:03:30,190
he. You know what it is? He looks like a bootleg Edwin.

1026
01:03:30,270 --> 01:03:34,222
That's why he looks familiar to me because I can't see anything

1027
01:03:34,366 --> 01:03:37,518
he's been in. But I've seen Edwin in a whole bunch of things,

1028
01:03:37,574 --> 01:03:41,422
so maybe that's like a. My brain's clouded there in

1029
01:03:41,446 --> 01:03:45,838
a way. Yeah. But this is a real simple story about.

1030
01:03:45,974 --> 01:03:49,294
Again, it follows the formula of this group that's trying to

1031
01:03:49,302 --> 01:03:52,796
beat the Nazis to these diamonds in a

1032
01:03:52,868 --> 01:03:55,388
very African lost city.

1033
01:03:55,524 --> 01:03:59,356
And comic prep. Balls and

1034
01:03:59,428 --> 01:04:02,880
clothes come off for no reason at all. I can't stop laughing.

1035
01:04:04,180 --> 01:04:08,268
I'll kick it to leave first. January, Lost City from 1987.

1036
01:04:08,404 --> 01:04:11,900
What are your thoughts on sir? I had a lot more fun with this

1037
01:04:11,940 --> 01:04:15,548
than Monuments Men, that's for sure. I had

1038
01:04:15,604 --> 01:04:18,386
seen bits and pieces of this growing up,

1039
01:04:18,508 --> 01:04:22,726
so probably explains some of my fetishes.

1040
01:04:22,918 --> 01:04:26,582
Especially when it comes to clothes ripping off of people of

1041
01:04:26,606 --> 01:04:30,210
the female persuasion. This is very

1042
01:04:30,830 --> 01:04:34,822
Carry on or Benny Hill in. In a lot of its presentation,

1043
01:04:34,886 --> 01:04:38,374
if you're familiar, that kind of stuff from British humor of like,

1044
01:04:38,462 --> 01:04:42,610
hey, sexy lady loses her clothes. Like very much the same kind of

1045
01:04:43,870 --> 01:04:47,444
sort of tradition of that. And I mean, honestly,

1046
01:04:47,492 --> 01:04:50,884
you know, it precedes Carry on in Benny Hill because of

1047
01:04:50,892 --> 01:04:55,028
course this is based on the Norman Pet comic books

1048
01:04:55,124 --> 01:04:58,500
comic strip series, I should say, from the 30s that

1049
01:04:58,540 --> 01:05:02,276
got really popular, as you said, Gary, during World War II for its pin

1050
01:05:02,308 --> 01:05:06,308
up elements, which is true. Like, it was very much a like

1051
01:05:06,364 --> 01:05:09,348
serialized female spy thing,

1052
01:05:09,404 --> 01:05:12,772
but with the sexy pinup elements to it

1053
01:05:12,796 --> 01:05:16,182
was kind of what it was. It was very, very parody.

1054
01:05:16,326 --> 01:05:19,702
Very much a parody of like Pulp Stories is what

1055
01:05:19,726 --> 01:05:23,478
it was. And then this is very much a parody of the Indiana

1056
01:05:23,494 --> 01:05:26,918
Jones stuff that was out. Like, you know, there's all kinds of ripoff Indiana

1057
01:05:26,934 --> 01:05:30,182
Jones stuff. And this is very much more of a parody of that kind

1058
01:05:30,206 --> 01:05:33,974
of stuff. It feels like the gods must be crazy to some extent,

1059
01:05:34,022 --> 01:05:38,086
but not as zany as that film is not a slapstick,

1060
01:05:38,118 --> 01:05:41,664
I'd say. But it's very.

1061
01:05:41,752 --> 01:05:45,504
It's very light and breezy. You know, when we get into it, I'll. I'll talk

1062
01:05:45,512 --> 01:05:47,792
about some of the things I didn't like about it and I think they could

1063
01:05:47,816 --> 01:05:51,520
have improved. But like, it's an enjoyable watch and like,

1064
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:55,392
I think the entire cast is really good. I think, you know, I feel like

1065
01:05:55,416 --> 01:05:59,456
Sam Jones, you know, he kind of whatever disagreement

1066
01:05:59,488 --> 01:06:03,376
he got in with Dino De Laurentiis on Flash Gordon kind of

1067
01:06:03,448 --> 01:06:07,424
his career because he's. He's kind of too good for this material,

1068
01:06:07,472 --> 01:06:11,576
I feel like. But he seems like he's having fun With. It feels like everyone's

1069
01:06:11,608 --> 01:06:16,008
kind of having fun with this. It's kind of unfortunate that Kristen

1070
01:06:16,024 --> 01:06:19,176
Hughes is like, fourth build here, but I mean, when you.

1071
01:06:19,248 --> 01:06:22,900
Especially behind Jasper Carrot, which I. I really don't get,

1072
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,824
you know, sure, Jasper Carrot was like, a known comedian at

1073
01:06:26,832 --> 01:06:30,088
the time, but, I mean, Kristen Hughes is supposed to be your star.

1074
01:06:30,144 --> 01:06:34,030
The new. The movie is named after her. So at least have her second builder,

1075
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:37,426
something. You know, honestly, Mod Adams should be built

1076
01:06:37,458 --> 01:06:40,830
above Sam Jones in this, when you think about it.

1077
01:06:41,530 --> 01:06:44,738
But, yeah, no, it's. It's goofy. It's dumb.

1078
01:06:44,834 --> 01:06:48,866
There's. If. If you're. If you're gonna be, like, a nitpicker and,

1079
01:06:49,018 --> 01:06:51,150
like, get into, like,

1080
01:06:52,010 --> 01:06:55,282
issues of, like, feminism and racism and stuff,

1081
01:06:55,346 --> 01:06:58,818
then if you're gonna be one of those people going

1082
01:06:58,874 --> 01:07:02,230
after this kind of material, maybe you got too much time on your hands

1083
01:07:03,140 --> 01:07:06,780
because, yeah, it's not good on those things, but it's not pretending to be.

1084
01:07:06,820 --> 01:07:10,044
It's. It's very stupid and hard to take serious. So.

1085
01:07:10,212 --> 01:07:13,740
But we'll. You know, I'll pass over to Suzanne,

1086
01:07:13,820 --> 01:07:17,324
and when we get to the deeper conversation on some

1087
01:07:17,332 --> 01:07:19,580
of this stuff, then I'll bring it up. But, yeah,

1088
01:07:19,740 --> 01:07:22,684
okay. No, I agreed.

1089
01:07:22,732 --> 01:07:26,316
It's. I had never even heard of this movie until

1090
01:07:26,388 --> 01:07:28,840
Gary's like, oh, yeah, we're watching this. I'm like, what the.

1091
01:07:32,110 --> 01:07:35,782
Well, I also had fun. I watched it on Amazon and,

1092
01:07:35,886 --> 01:07:39,130
you know, thank God for those commercials every five minutes.

1093
01:07:39,550 --> 01:07:43,654
But this is just me bitching

1094
01:07:43,702 --> 01:07:47,238
about the commerce. But it really wasn't that bad. It is.

1095
01:07:47,294 --> 01:07:50,170
It's light. It's slapsticky.

1096
01:07:50,830 --> 01:07:54,748
You know, it's not like when I. When I

1097
01:07:54,804 --> 01:07:59,084
first glance, I'm like, oh, God, it's going to be like tits and ass

1098
01:07:59,172 --> 01:08:03,308
everywhere. But it was. It was more like, is the comic,

1099
01:08:03,404 --> 01:08:06,220
which I actually had to get read about, you know,

1100
01:08:06,260 --> 01:08:09,960
just a girl in satin underwear. Big deal.

1101
01:08:11,060 --> 01:08:14,332
It is cute. And, well, I can look at Sam

1102
01:08:14,396 --> 01:08:18,320
Jones all day, every day, till the day I die.

1103
01:08:19,460 --> 01:08:23,084
He could. He could play the part mute, and I really wouldn't

1104
01:08:23,132 --> 01:08:26,644
care. I was just bummed he didn't have a shirt off more.

1105
01:08:26,732 --> 01:08:29,040
Wow. Who is there? Something's here.

1106
01:08:33,020 --> 01:08:36,836
But, yeah, it's. It's a cute little movie. I love the Leopard Queen. The Leopard

1107
01:08:36,868 --> 01:08:40,484
Queen is my favorite part of this movie. I just loved her.

1108
01:08:40,652 --> 01:08:43,908
It. It added a lightness. And once again, the whole thing is

1109
01:08:43,964 --> 01:08:47,620
lights and Bob Adams, which I. I remember her

1110
01:08:47,740 --> 01:08:51,526
as a Bond girl. I remember her in a few

1111
01:08:51,598 --> 01:08:55,446
other smaller roles. I don't remember her being

1112
01:08:55,598 --> 01:08:59,210
that huge of a. Of an actress,

1113
01:09:00,190 --> 01:09:03,494
but, you know, that's kind of neither here nor there. It's.

1114
01:09:03,542 --> 01:09:07,574
I have to admit, it's a fun little

1115
01:09:07,742 --> 01:09:09,850
light, slapsticky.

1116
01:09:12,030 --> 01:09:14,770
Girl. Loses her clothes quite a bit,

1117
01:09:15,330 --> 01:09:18,150
but not in the nasty way.

1118
01:09:18,770 --> 01:09:22,858
Yeah, it could have been. It definitely doesn't feel like

1119
01:09:22,994 --> 01:09:27,274
one of the more like sleazy, leering, like sex comedies

1120
01:09:27,322 --> 01:09:30,762
of the time, right? Oh, yeah, exactly. And you could almost see

1121
01:09:30,786 --> 01:09:34,490
that they, they were trying to lean into that a little

1122
01:09:34,530 --> 01:09:38,298
bit, but they. I'm glad they kept it more on the PG

1123
01:09:38,394 --> 01:09:42,122
side because it's. To be honest, it's just a cute

1124
01:09:42,186 --> 01:09:46,150
little movie. It really is. It's cute.

1125
01:09:47,290 --> 01:09:51,810
The scene on the boat with the first assassin brother.

1126
01:09:51,970 --> 01:09:55,778
I was laughing my ass off every time. She would

1127
01:09:55,914 --> 01:09:59,670
smash him in the face with the door. Down with the anchor.

1128
01:10:00,090 --> 01:10:03,282
And the only thing that bugged me, I'm like, watching the dog.

1129
01:10:03,346 --> 01:10:07,186
I'm like, nothing better happen to that dog. I'm gonna be

1130
01:10:07,258 --> 01:10:11,360
real pissed off here if anything happens to the dog.

1131
01:10:11,940 --> 01:10:15,340
But it's, it's. It's a cute little movie. It's.

1132
01:10:15,500 --> 01:10:19,100
It really. It's literally M M's. There is no

1133
01:10:19,140 --> 01:10:21,756
nutritional value here whatsoever,

1134
01:10:21,948 --> 01:10:24,840
but it's fun. I. I really.

1135
01:10:25,460 --> 01:10:29,360
Is it well made? No, that's cheap.

1136
01:10:30,100 --> 01:10:34,252
Completely cheap as. But it's

1137
01:10:34,316 --> 01:10:37,868
just an enjoyable ride. It doesn't outstay its

1138
01:10:37,924 --> 01:10:41,888
welcome. The story. Yeah. Finding the Big D,

1139
01:10:42,084 --> 01:10:45,304
the Lost city. But it's. There's.

1140
01:10:45,352 --> 01:10:48,632
It. It's like almost. I don't know if it's more of a MacGuffin or a

1141
01:10:48,656 --> 01:10:52,520
red herring because we never get there. Oh, wait, we do get

1142
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,360
there. Well, yeah. McGuffin is. Is what

1143
01:10:56,400 --> 01:11:00,600
it really is. Yeah. It's like. It's not like the tour where

1144
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:04,100
they're talking about military secrets and you never know what they are,

1145
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:10,210
but it's. It just. It's not

1146
01:11:10,250 --> 01:11:14,098
a great movie, but at least it's enjoyable. You've got

1147
01:11:14,154 --> 01:11:18,274
in a completely just base

1148
01:11:18,322 --> 01:11:22,882
set of characters that do a good job. You've got, you know, you're the

1149
01:11:22,906 --> 01:11:25,470
blonde, you've got the jungle man.

1150
01:11:26,330 --> 01:11:30,390
You've got the colonel, his man servants.

1151
01:11:30,730 --> 01:11:34,510
You've got the evil Nazis doing evil Nazi things.

1152
01:11:35,480 --> 01:11:39,296
It's once again straight up composites again

1153
01:11:39,368 --> 01:11:42,688
of just basic characters, but they all seem to work

1154
01:11:42,744 --> 01:11:46,336
together well. It's not great, but it's fun.

1155
01:11:46,488 --> 01:11:48,220
I'll get. Give me fun.

1156
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,928
Yeah. For me, unlike the last film,

1157
01:11:53,064 --> 01:11:56,816
this is a film that knows just what it is. It's like Suzanne

1158
01:11:56,848 --> 01:12:00,916
says from Jump. You know, you get some slapsticky on the boat and

1159
01:12:00,988 --> 01:12:04,692
this guy who's clearly falling into swimming pool, you know, the first

1160
01:12:04,716 --> 01:12:08,644
few times he falls, he's swimming pool. And you know what? I don't care,

1161
01:12:08,732 --> 01:12:12,212
I don't care if it looks like he's walking to a pool. It's just,

1162
01:12:12,316 --> 01:12:15,748
it's fun. You know, you just the kind of humor, just the kind of humor

1163
01:12:15,764 --> 01:12:19,604
that Gary likes, you know, when somebody is trying to grasp onto

1164
01:12:19,652 --> 01:12:22,708
the ledge or something and somebody steps out of their fingers and they fall again.

1165
01:12:22,844 --> 01:12:26,452
I'm gonna laugh. First time. Oh, she closed that porthole on

1166
01:12:26,476 --> 01:12:30,104
his fingers. Yeah, I'm the last third. I'm the last third time too,

1167
01:12:30,192 --> 01:12:33,240
because let me tell you that those jokes work for me.

1168
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:36,744
You know, as a film itself.

1169
01:12:36,792 --> 01:12:39,432
I, I didn't look at a budget or anything, but I'm sure the budget was

1170
01:12:39,456 --> 01:12:43,560
very small. It was filmed on location and yeah.

1171
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:47,496
Yeah, I couldn't find like any budget or box office for this.

1172
01:12:47,568 --> 01:12:51,224
So like, But I mean it, it had to be made for like

1173
01:12:51,392 --> 01:12:54,574
way less than $5 million at like,

1174
01:12:54,662 --> 01:12:58,654
it's, it's very cheap for 1987 and

1175
01:12:58,742 --> 01:13:02,494
oh. It'S a straight to video production. There you go.

1176
01:13:02,582 --> 01:13:06,510
Yeah, that's a new, It's a New world joint. So I knew going

1177
01:13:06,550 --> 01:13:10,142
in it wasn't gonna be very, very, you know, oppressive with,

1178
01:13:10,246 --> 01:13:13,966
you know, anything really. But the, the BB series

1179
01:13:14,118 --> 01:13:17,662
that they did, like, you know, it's based on the comic strip, but then they,

1180
01:13:17,766 --> 01:13:21,182
they made a movie in 1949. I've never seen that.

1181
01:13:21,206 --> 01:13:25,370
I'm kind of actually interested in, in seeing that, that movie.

1182
01:13:26,590 --> 01:13:30,022
But then they did the BB series in the 80s.

1183
01:13:30,086 --> 01:13:33,670
They did two seasons of it, 1982 and 1984.

1184
01:13:33,790 --> 01:13:39,190
And they're very cheaply done. They're like live action put

1185
01:13:39,230 --> 01:13:42,502
in with like comic book panels and stuff like

1186
01:13:42,526 --> 01:13:46,006
that. It's actually kind of interesting. You know, it's more than what you would expect

1187
01:13:46,078 --> 01:13:49,122
from the BBC at the time, but at the same time it's like the way

1188
01:13:49,146 --> 01:13:52,226
they did it, they obviously did to save a lot of money and they obviously

1189
01:13:52,258 --> 01:13:55,090
like didn't spend a lot of money on this either. So.

1190
01:13:55,210 --> 01:13:58,290
Yeah, yeah, I thought Sam Jones is real

1191
01:13:58,330 --> 01:14:02,066
fine as your, your meathead jungle man. Just,

1192
01:14:02,138 --> 01:14:06,402
you know, helping bring that freaking humor along with his open shirt and

1193
01:14:06,506 --> 01:14:09,810
you know, being your, your, your.

1194
01:14:09,850 --> 01:14:11,750
Yeah, yeah, you're listening.

1195
01:14:13,370 --> 01:14:16,430
That big knife he's got. Yep. Oh yeah.

1196
01:14:21,730 --> 01:14:24,910
Yeah. Five candy there indeed.

1197
01:14:25,730 --> 01:14:29,402
But I, I, I, I, I, I enjoy the locations of

1198
01:14:29,426 --> 01:14:33,546
this. They filmed the location, wherever those countries, it's in Africa.

1199
01:14:33,618 --> 01:14:37,018
This country, you know? Yeah, it's. I think it's in Africa. I,

1200
01:14:37,074 --> 01:14:40,442
I can't pronounce it, but they did, they did kind of shoot on location kind

1201
01:14:40,466 --> 01:14:43,234
of thing, and, you know, it shows it.

1202
01:14:43,322 --> 01:14:46,882
It's, I assume this is a British production or whatever,

1203
01:14:46,946 --> 01:14:50,354
and usually they get their production value pretty well, even when

1204
01:14:50,362 --> 01:14:53,890
they're doing cheap. You know, like, they're, they usually know how to,

1205
01:14:54,010 --> 01:14:57,554
to, like, you know, get blood out of a stone, so to

1206
01:14:57,562 --> 01:15:00,610
speak, with their production values. So you can see it here.

1207
01:15:00,650 --> 01:15:03,714
It looks pretty much as good as any of the

1208
01:15:03,722 --> 01:15:06,738
other cheap stuff around this period of time.

1209
01:15:06,794 --> 01:15:10,194
Like, what's the one we did, Gary, with Chuck Norris

1210
01:15:10,242 --> 01:15:12,990
and Lewis Gossett Jr. Firewalker or whatever. The.

1211
01:15:14,580 --> 01:15:17,724
Yeah, it doesn't look any worse than Firewalker,

1212
01:15:17,852 --> 01:15:20,940
I don't think. I, I, I, I, I'd say I

1213
01:15:20,980 --> 01:15:24,320
had more fun with this than Firewalker, and I really like Firewalker.

1214
01:15:25,860 --> 01:15:29,180
It's almost like Firewalker. So Fireworker. Derogatory,

1215
01:15:29,260 --> 01:15:33,676
was it? Tried to implement humor in there in the wrong spots?

1216
01:15:33,868 --> 01:15:37,276
Well, yeah, Chuck Norton.

1217
01:15:37,308 --> 01:15:41,004
Yeah, Chuck Norris can't do jokes. That's the thing. Because he can't do anything

1218
01:15:41,052 --> 01:15:44,190
other than you can hit people, and that's it.

1219
01:15:44,730 --> 01:15:48,434
But here, everybody is, like, really good. The entire

1220
01:15:48,482 --> 01:15:51,906
cast is, like, funny. They. Yeah, I mean, it's,

1221
01:15:52,018 --> 01:15:55,618
I don't know if it's intentional or they just work

1222
01:15:55,754 --> 01:15:59,042
comically well together, but it is, It's.

1223
01:15:59,186 --> 01:16:02,754
I don't want to say, maybe charming is the word. Yeah,

1224
01:16:02,802 --> 01:16:07,550
it's just, it's, it's just a cute little

1225
01:16:08,480 --> 01:16:11,864
funny movie. It's. I don't know if some spots

1226
01:16:11,912 --> 01:16:14,488
are intentionally, but there,

1227
01:16:14,544 --> 01:16:17,912
there's, it's just

1228
01:16:18,096 --> 01:16:21,480
fun. Yeah, it's like. And we're like, it's super

1229
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:25,336
light. Like, it's not even as sleazy as, like, Benny Hill is, and Benny

1230
01:16:25,368 --> 01:16:29,320
Hill's not really all that sleazy, but it's way sleazier than this.

1231
01:16:29,440 --> 01:16:32,664
And the Carry on films are even way sleazier

1232
01:16:32,712 --> 01:16:36,106
than this. And some of them, like, this is very, like,

1233
01:16:36,258 --> 01:16:39,386
just light, cheesecakey kind of stuff where it's

1234
01:16:39,418 --> 01:16:42,938
like, oh, her dress came off. But, you know, it's not like,

1235
01:16:43,074 --> 01:16:46,330
presented in a way necessarily where the,

1236
01:16:46,370 --> 01:16:49,802
the guys are like, even the men in the, in the cast are

1237
01:16:49,826 --> 01:16:53,786
not necessarily drooling over her. Like, she, she's presented

1238
01:16:53,818 --> 01:16:57,210
in awkward positions for, like, the viewer to watch

1239
01:16:57,250 --> 01:17:00,450
and go, oh, that's kind of hot. But, you know, the,

1240
01:17:00,490 --> 01:17:03,682
the men in the cast are actually like, please get her a jacket.

1241
01:17:03,746 --> 01:17:07,058
And you know, and stuff like that. You know, I think the only character really

1242
01:17:07,114 --> 01:17:10,386
who kind of really comments on Jane whenever

1243
01:17:10,418 --> 01:17:13,570
she's undressed is the Tombs character who's like,

1244
01:17:13,690 --> 01:17:16,642
yes, I think I'll go over to the car now, please.

1245
01:17:16,746 --> 01:17:20,530
Like, obviously in insinuating he's gonna jack off because

1246
01:17:20,570 --> 01:17:24,018
you just saw Jane with her dress ripped off or whatever.

1247
01:17:24,034 --> 01:17:27,528
Right. But everyone else is kind of like, oh,

1248
01:17:27,544 --> 01:17:31,512
that poor woman. Please get her a jacket. You know, it's downplayed

1249
01:17:31,576 --> 01:17:35,592
completely. Like I said, it's not. And you're right. It's more cheesecake

1250
01:17:35,656 --> 01:17:38,380
than anything else. Yep.

1251
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:45,160
Honestly, the. I watched some of the episodes of the BBC

1252
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:48,808
thing and some of those are way

1253
01:17:48,864 --> 01:17:52,440
more leering and tawdry than this movie is.

1254
01:17:52,480 --> 01:17:55,632
Like, this is very light even compared to the source material.

1255
01:17:55,816 --> 01:17:59,152
So, yeah, they just basically have like that one moment like that,

1256
01:17:59,176 --> 01:18:03,136
though, to where they're trapped in the tomb where the diamonds are the nuts.

1257
01:18:03,168 --> 01:18:04,580
They've stole the diamonds.

1258
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:09,744
The queen. What is she that. The queen of? The leopard queen.

1259
01:18:09,872 --> 01:18:13,104
Yeah, yeah. Leopard queen figures out, hey,

1260
01:18:13,152 --> 01:18:16,080
my mother never wanted to be trapped in a place like this. Let me find

1261
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:19,888
her. Her. So of course, this is just enough

1262
01:18:19,944 --> 01:18:23,132
room for the girls to get through. As you can see their

1263
01:18:23,156 --> 01:18:26,700
underpants, you know, as they crawl through this hole and the fellows stop

1264
01:18:26,740 --> 01:18:29,948
a bit to look at it. That's like the really old moment of like,

1265
01:18:30,004 --> 01:18:33,148
you know, hey, let's exploit these women for no reason

1266
01:18:33,204 --> 01:18:36,732
at all just by taking these long shots of their. Of their undies.

1267
01:18:36,796 --> 01:18:39,884
You know, that's really. That's really about it, you know,

1268
01:18:39,972 --> 01:18:42,396
but. They played it off like nothing.

1269
01:18:42,588 --> 01:18:46,108
Yeah, yeah. And. And for. For the time period

1270
01:18:46,164 --> 01:18:49,532
they're, you know, because this is. This is a period picture, but it's

1271
01:18:49,596 --> 01:18:52,668
presented in the 80s. The. The underwear they're wearing is like,

1272
01:18:52,804 --> 01:18:55,948
not like. It's pretty much like granny panties

1273
01:18:56,044 --> 01:18:59,932
in, in. In. In comparison to what you're seeing in most contemporary

1274
01:18:59,996 --> 01:19:03,708
stuff around this time. You know, it's. It's definitely not anything you're seeing in sex

1275
01:19:03,764 --> 01:19:07,200
comedies of this. Of this sort of decade.

1276
01:19:08,180 --> 01:19:11,276
They're wearing like this. I. I happen to like,

1277
01:19:11,348 --> 01:19:14,908
like frilly underwear and garters and stuff. So I'm like, okay, I'm cool with it.

1278
01:19:14,964 --> 01:19:18,412
But like, most people aren't wear. Aren't watching movies with. With stuff like

1279
01:19:18,436 --> 01:19:22,424
that in it anymore at this point. Like thong territory.

1280
01:19:22,472 --> 01:19:26,104
We're getting into smaller patties. Even the gods must be crazy

1281
01:19:26,152 --> 01:19:29,720
films. They're wearing pretty skimpy like underwear when the,

1282
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:33,240
the scenes happen where the female, main female characters, like getting

1283
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:36,664
her dress pulled off or up or whatever, you know, kind of thing.

1284
01:19:36,752 --> 01:19:40,616
So, I mean, my God, I think you see skimpier stuff on an episode

1285
01:19:40,648 --> 01:19:44,280
of Friends. I think you'd see skim skimpier stuff in

1286
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,608
an episode of, like, Marital Children around this time too,

1287
01:19:47,664 --> 01:19:50,920
right? Like, yeah, it's. It's so like I said,

1288
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:54,612
it's it for me. I was not. I mean, I've seen.

1289
01:19:54,716 --> 01:19:58,372
Trust me, I could write a book on all the exploitation movies

1290
01:19:58,436 --> 01:20:02,068
I've seen. This is. It's so, like I said,

1291
01:20:02,124 --> 01:20:05,700
light hearted. It's not. No one's leering all that hard.

1292
01:20:05,740 --> 01:20:09,636
And if they are leering, they leer for about 30 seconds, they're reprimanded

1293
01:20:09,668 --> 01:20:13,028
and they look away. Done. And even the,

1294
01:20:13,084 --> 01:20:16,452
even the race stuff in this where, you know, we have a bunch of

1295
01:20:16,476 --> 01:20:19,906
savages quote, unquote, coming after them several times.

1296
01:20:20,068 --> 01:20:23,734
Like, there's a conversation in this between the Colonel and Tombs

1297
01:20:23,782 --> 01:20:27,542
where, like, Tombs is like, this place is not fit for a

1298
01:20:27,566 --> 01:20:31,494
white man. It's fit for the black savages and stuff. And the Colonel basically lambast

1299
01:20:31,542 --> 01:20:35,490
him, says, like, stop being a racist dick. Like, yeah, I mean,

1300
01:20:35,870 --> 01:20:38,370
they're definitely a lot more,

1301
01:20:39,390 --> 01:20:42,854
I guess, socially acceptable than anything now. Yeah,

1302
01:20:42,902 --> 01:20:46,818
I mean, you know, it. This. The movie's so corny

1303
01:20:46,834 --> 01:20:49,858
and dumb that the stereotypes,

1304
01:20:50,034 --> 01:20:53,458
you know, it's a joke. Like, it. They're not, they're not just

1305
01:20:53,514 --> 01:20:58,034
like, oh, seriously, presenting black Africans

1306
01:20:58,082 --> 01:21:01,790
as just savages. You know, they're not doing that.

1307
01:21:02,170 --> 01:21:05,618
Just like, they're not leering at Jane. Like, they could be.

1308
01:21:05,674 --> 01:21:09,170
They're. They're not being super racist in this.

1309
01:21:09,210 --> 01:21:13,122
Like, if anything, they're. They're presenting like the imperialist British guys as kind

1310
01:21:13,146 --> 01:21:16,548
of buffoons. And, you know,

1311
01:21:16,604 --> 01:21:19,972
they had the conversation about, you know, don't be a racist dick.

1312
01:21:20,036 --> 01:21:23,844
You, you, you, you dumb. And if anything,

1313
01:21:23,892 --> 01:21:27,652
the, the thing they're really focusing on is the goofy Nazis. And you know,

1314
01:21:27,676 --> 01:21:31,380
any movie that punches Nazis out of airplanes is cool to me.

1315
01:21:31,500 --> 01:21:34,708
Oh, yeah? Yeah. Even the part,

1316
01:21:34,764 --> 01:21:38,564
you know, that where the, the names are actually throwing spears

1317
01:21:38,612 --> 01:21:42,638
at them, at their boat. It's done so light.

1318
01:21:42,694 --> 01:21:46,334
It would. So with the right amount of comedy that you,

1319
01:21:46,422 --> 01:21:49,950
you're not even, you know. Well, another person might

1320
01:21:49,990 --> 01:21:53,694
say, oh, they're throwing spears. That. That's, that's racist.

1321
01:21:53,742 --> 01:21:57,662
Indigenous people, like, no, it's done so lighted with the right

1322
01:21:57,686 --> 01:22:01,070
amount of humor that when they, when they show the, the next

1323
01:22:01,110 --> 01:22:05,662
cutscene of Them, you know, soaking wet because their boat has sunk

1324
01:22:05,726 --> 01:22:09,320
from all the holes. Yeah, you're like, this,

1325
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:12,140
this is fine, you know. Yeah.

1326
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,340
No one's out to butt hurt anybody.

1327
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:19,800
It's the 1980s and it's like, this could have been way more

1328
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:22,888
racist and sexist than it was. Sure, sure, it's light.

1329
01:22:22,944 --> 01:22:26,264
It's lightly racist and sexist. But, like, who cares?

1330
01:22:26,312 --> 01:22:29,800
Like, if you're bothered by this, you are. You have

1331
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:33,656
problems. Like, there, there is a lot worse in the 1980s that you can legit

1332
01:22:33,688 --> 01:22:37,400
be bothered by and like, actually make a point about because there's just

1333
01:22:37,440 --> 01:22:41,304
some movies that are like, in this decade especially that are super offensive

1334
01:22:41,352 --> 01:22:44,344
and should be criticized. This is just,

1335
01:22:44,432 --> 01:22:47,784
this is just dumb. Who cares? Yeah, it's,

1336
01:22:47,832 --> 01:22:52,184
it's, it's light, it's. It's not quite full on

1337
01:22:52,272 --> 01:22:55,448
slapstick. Yeah. But it's, it,

1338
01:22:55,504 --> 01:22:59,224
it's late humor with.

1339
01:22:59,392 --> 01:23:03,122
And you know which, and I agree with

1340
01:23:03,146 --> 01:23:07,538
you, if anybody is really triggered by this dude,

1341
01:23:07,634 --> 01:23:09,830
you have got to go see a doctor.

1342
01:23:11,930 --> 01:23:15,442
You just need to see some other movies from this decade because apparently you

1343
01:23:15,466 --> 01:23:19,570
haven't, because every, every other movie in this decade is way

1344
01:23:19,610 --> 01:23:22,914
worse. Oh, God. If they ever watch Tales from the Hood.

1345
01:23:22,962 --> 01:23:27,234
Holy. Their heart will explode. That would blow their minds.

1346
01:23:27,362 --> 01:23:31,144
Oh, yeah, someone would. Their head would literally

1347
01:23:31,192 --> 01:23:35,060
just explode off their shoulders. And I would pay to see that.

1348
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,952
You want to see a racist movie from this decade? Go watch Soul man or

1349
01:23:38,976 --> 01:23:41,608
something, then come back to me. Oh,

1350
01:23:41,704 --> 01:23:45,400
God. There's a reason I have not thought of that movie in

1351
01:23:45,440 --> 01:23:48,220
decades. Yeah. Thanks, Lee.

1352
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:52,200
You want the most racist movie from the 80s? Watch Soul Man. Want to see

1353
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:55,660
the most sexist movie from this decade? Watch, like the Party Animal.

1354
01:23:57,190 --> 01:24:01,134
No porkies. Come on. Go full on porky.

1355
01:24:01,262 --> 01:24:04,974
Well, no, Porky's actually has, like some good acting

1356
01:24:05,022 --> 01:24:08,046
and stuff going on and actually has some, like,

1357
01:24:08,198 --> 01:24:11,694
resonance. Whereas, like, the Party Animal is like one

1358
01:24:11,702 --> 01:24:15,774
of the most, like, exploitive sex comedies ever made, which is just.

1359
01:24:15,862 --> 01:24:18,370
It's not saying a lot. It's the 80s.

1360
01:24:19,030 --> 01:24:23,250
Everything. There is no holes bar in the 80s.

1361
01:24:24,870 --> 01:24:28,526
I'm just talking about the peaks of the mountain. Oh, yeah, I know.

1362
01:24:28,598 --> 01:24:32,126
And there's so many of them. Oh,

1363
01:24:32,158 --> 01:24:36,286
my gosh. I think one real flawless movie is that Ian Roberts's

1364
01:24:36,318 --> 01:24:40,382
Carl, our Nazi meathead, wasn't really as

1365
01:24:40,406 --> 01:24:43,726
much as he should have been because this guy a brick

1366
01:24:43,838 --> 01:24:46,974
house. And he's a good foil. He's a good foil to Sam

1367
01:24:47,022 --> 01:24:50,880
Jones. Right? Like, they needed to do

1368
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:54,016
more together. They had that. They needed to have a Couple more fights. Yeah,

1369
01:24:54,048 --> 01:24:57,552
like him, like press, press slam a villager or two over his head or

1370
01:24:57,576 --> 01:25:01,500
something just to prove the strength of Carl and you know,

1371
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:06,192
something, Something more that. I love that Heinrich and all of his

1372
01:25:06,216 --> 01:25:09,776
incarnations just keeps getting over at every. Every turn and,

1373
01:25:09,848 --> 01:25:13,536
you know. Yeah, we need more meathead Carl doing stuff

1374
01:25:13,568 --> 01:25:17,682
in this movie. That's my only real about this movie is that,

1375
01:25:17,706 --> 01:25:20,226
you know, Lola Pagola has this,

1376
01:25:20,298 --> 01:25:20,910
this.

1377
01:25:26,490 --> 01:25:30,194
He doesn't really do much, you know, except like, carry the, the crate,

1378
01:25:30,242 --> 01:25:33,954
the, the. The tumor of diamonds out of

1379
01:25:33,962 --> 01:25:38,242
the. The hobble there. That's like the only time really shows his strength.

1380
01:25:38,386 --> 01:25:41,882
Otherwise he's like this big old meathead who just kind of hangs out, you.

1381
01:25:41,906 --> 01:25:45,866
Know, he's pretty much just a stand

1382
01:25:45,938 --> 01:25:49,354
in. He's a. He's a big giant mannequin.

1383
01:25:49,482 --> 01:25:52,954
Yeah. And he could have eaten up a little more scenery,

1384
01:25:53,002 --> 01:25:56,550
in my opinion. Yeah, they just needed a fight.

1385
01:25:57,810 --> 01:26:01,802
Yeah, they needed a guy who could physically match

1386
01:26:01,986 --> 01:26:05,562
Sam Jones like that. That's all they. And then that's what. That's all

1387
01:26:05,586 --> 01:26:08,742
they felt they needed. They. They could have done a lot more with him because

1388
01:26:08,766 --> 01:26:13,046
he's fun in this. Like, you know, his, his interactions

1389
01:26:13,078 --> 01:26:16,470
with Mod Adams, like, you know, there's. There's subtext there

1390
01:26:16,510 --> 01:26:20,118
where. Yeah, they're totally on the side somewhere where, you know. Oh, definitely.

1391
01:26:20,214 --> 01:26:23,382
Yeah. You don't see it in the movie, of course, because it's not that kind

1392
01:26:23,406 --> 01:26:26,742
of movie, but, yeah, they could

1393
01:26:26,766 --> 01:26:30,150
have done worth it. And, you know, he's got that whole rivalry thing

1394
01:26:30,190 --> 01:26:33,744
with Jasper Carrot playing Heinrich or

1395
01:26:33,752 --> 01:26:36,912
whatever, and, you know, they're always going back and

1396
01:26:36,936 --> 01:26:41,184
forth because they both kind of want the approval

1397
01:26:41,232 --> 01:26:44,620
of Lola Pegola, so.

1398
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:51,540
Well, he did have a moment where he showed his humanity

1399
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:55,780
when they were messing around in marketplace

1400
01:26:56,760 --> 01:27:00,312
with the vendor and he just got sick of it and

1401
01:27:00,336 --> 01:27:03,512
went and punched one of them so hard like,

1402
01:27:03,616 --> 01:27:07,528
now that. That is seriously

1403
01:27:07,704 --> 01:27:11,016
a human moment. He's like, yeah, no, you don't

1404
01:27:11,048 --> 01:27:14,344
get to mess with the natives. No, you don't get to act like that.

1405
01:27:14,512 --> 01:27:17,460
So. Well, I'm gonna punch you so you'll stop.

1406
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:22,440
I mean, he's. He's a Nazi, but. He is a Nazi.

1407
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:25,592
But he had a redeemable moment.

1408
01:27:25,736 --> 01:27:29,542
Yeah, he kind of knows his. Like, I'm the only Nazi in

1409
01:27:29,646 --> 01:27:33,110
Africa here. You gotta get

1410
01:27:33,150 --> 01:27:36,390
along. To get along, you needed. In this

1411
01:27:36,430 --> 01:27:39,570
Indiana Jones ripoff, because that's what it is at the end of the day,

1412
01:27:39,950 --> 01:27:43,462
you needed the fight between Jungle Jack

1413
01:27:43,526 --> 01:27:47,046
and Carl on the Runway. You needed that kind of fight. Yeah,

1414
01:27:47,158 --> 01:27:50,502
yeah. Versus your hero,

1415
01:27:50,566 --> 01:27:54,134
you know? Yeah. Because they only kind of had that like, kind of brief fist

1416
01:27:54,182 --> 01:27:57,838
fight on the plane, really. And. And in the end, it's like,

1417
01:27:57,894 --> 01:28:01,342
it's Jane who basically wins that fight because he's like,

1418
01:28:01,446 --> 01:28:04,782
shoot the dog. Because he's, you know, he scared the dog and he's like,

1419
01:28:04,806 --> 01:28:08,334
you know, lola, shoot the dog or whatever. And Jane's like,

1420
01:28:08,422 --> 01:28:11,966
you. And it knocks his ass. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1421
01:28:11,998 --> 01:28:16,190
Because at the end of the day, he really wins the film. Fritz the dog,

1422
01:28:16,270 --> 01:28:20,638
as portrayed by Magnum the dog acting this

1423
01:28:20,694 --> 01:28:23,264
fine in this movie, you know. Yeah,

1424
01:28:23,392 --> 01:28:27,216
yeah. He kind of resembles a dog that kind of looks at when you're

1425
01:28:27,248 --> 01:28:30,320
having sex and just kind of like, you know, starts crying or

1426
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:33,568
something, but, you know, situation,

1427
01:28:33,664 --> 01:28:35,940
you know. But yeah,

1428
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:40,000
he looks. He looks sexually confused. His dog. And also just. It's just

1429
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:43,440
quick cuts to this doctrine that was

1430
01:28:43,480 --> 01:28:46,992
serious. And kill the dog. Like the. You will kill a dog. Come on

1431
01:28:47,016 --> 01:28:50,762
now. You know. Yeah. Not enough monkey from the

1432
01:28:50,786 --> 01:28:54,474
trailer in this movie either. But that's. Again, these are real small things. These are

1433
01:28:54,482 --> 01:28:57,690
real small things. And I, I enjoyed the out of it,

1434
01:28:57,730 --> 01:29:01,386
but you guys should watch it. But I'll

1435
01:29:01,418 --> 01:29:05,210
kick it delete and say. Any final thoughts about Jane in

1436
01:29:05,250 --> 01:29:08,762
Lost City? First, final thought. Apparently my

1437
01:29:08,946 --> 01:29:11,850
mic level was way down. Thank you,

1438
01:29:11,890 --> 01:29:15,066
Streamyard, for doing that. But,

1439
01:29:15,218 --> 01:29:18,778
yeah, no, this is fun. I won't go deep

1440
01:29:18,794 --> 01:29:23,866
into my fetishes, but Jane, losing your clothes definitely checks

1441
01:29:23,898 --> 01:29:27,354
off a box. So I enjoyed that and I enjoyed the light touch

1442
01:29:27,402 --> 01:29:30,522
at the same time because, you know, sometimes this stuff can

1443
01:29:30,546 --> 01:29:34,474
get into, like, really bad, sleazy territory

1444
01:29:34,522 --> 01:29:38,122
where it's like, oh, I'm a. I'm a nasty dirty man for liking

1445
01:29:38,186 --> 01:29:41,546
this. But here I'm like, I'm okay with it. It's fun. It's.

1446
01:29:41,578 --> 01:29:45,336
It's light and breezy. Nazis get foiled.

1447
01:29:45,448 --> 01:29:49,272
They look like fools, as they should, because Nazis are fools and pieces

1448
01:29:49,336 --> 01:29:53,000
of. And everybody in this cast is having fun

1449
01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:56,280
and they're kind of. They're vibing with each other and they're.

1450
01:29:56,440 --> 01:30:00,408
They're rolling with the what's going on here? And there's not a lot going on.

1451
01:30:00,464 --> 01:30:03,592
It's. It's not much of a script. It's just kind of a basic

1452
01:30:03,656 --> 01:30:06,712
slap sticky thing. It's. It's not.

1453
01:30:06,816 --> 01:30:10,072
You know, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you it's one of the

1454
01:30:10,096 --> 01:30:13,200
better Indiana Jones rip offs, because it's not.

1455
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:16,912
But it's not a terrible one. It's. It's not like horrible.

1456
01:30:16,976 --> 01:30:20,340
It's not unwatchable. It's light and breezy.

1457
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:24,620
Easy squeezy, lemon breezy. Whatever you want to say.

1458
01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:28,432
I'd say watch it. You know, if you have a lazy. It's kind of one

1459
01:30:28,456 --> 01:30:31,728
of those movies where, and I think this is where I saw pieces and bits

1460
01:30:31,744 --> 01:30:34,192
and pieces of it back in the day. It was just one of those things

1461
01:30:34,216 --> 01:30:37,578
that would like play on a Sunday or something on tv. And it's

1462
01:30:37,594 --> 01:30:41,130
like if you have a lazy Sunday and you, you kind of want a little

1463
01:30:41,170 --> 01:30:44,538
bit of an Indiana Jonesy adventury thing going on,

1464
01:30:44,594 --> 01:30:47,930
then what? You know, fire this

1465
01:30:47,970 --> 01:30:51,802
up on YouTube or whatever and, and watch it and then you

1466
01:30:51,826 --> 01:30:55,386
might enjoy it. You know, if you like seeing ladies underwear,

1467
01:30:55,498 --> 01:30:56,870
you get a lot of that.

1468
01:30:59,490 --> 01:31:01,630
Yes, indeed, Suzanne.

1469
01:31:02,530 --> 01:31:06,190
You know, I really wasn't sure what to expect going into

1470
01:31:06,230 --> 01:31:09,490
this. I'm like, oh God, this is going to be horrible.

1471
01:31:10,150 --> 01:31:14,414
It really isn't. It's as Lisa is just light,

1472
01:31:14,502 --> 01:31:17,294
it's breezy, it's funny,

1473
01:31:17,422 --> 01:31:21,214
it's goofy. My new hero is the leopard

1474
01:31:21,262 --> 01:31:24,766
queen. Down with her. I definitely

1475
01:31:24,798 --> 01:31:28,894
want to go sit and sit wine with her and talk about being deposed

1476
01:31:28,942 --> 01:31:32,090
to the jungle while reminiscing about my lost love.

1477
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:38,320
I think that would be a fun afternoon. It's not,

1478
01:31:38,440 --> 01:31:41,792
it's not bad at all. There's, it's,

1479
01:31:41,856 --> 01:31:45,456
there's nothing really rough about

1480
01:31:45,528 --> 01:31:48,912
this. It's a nice little PG

1481
01:31:49,056 --> 01:31:51,264
Sunday afternoon hangover film.

1482
01:31:51,432 --> 01:31:55,632
I kind of liked it a lot more than I thought I

1483
01:31:55,656 --> 01:31:58,834
was gonna like it. I'm glad I went into this blind.

1484
01:31:59,032 --> 01:32:02,862
Didn't look up anything. So it's fun. And Sam

1485
01:32:02,926 --> 01:32:05,450
Jones not shirtless enough.

1486
01:32:08,150 --> 01:32:12,078
I forgot to mention that this, the island filmed

1487
01:32:12,094 --> 01:32:15,598
this at is more Mauritius which is

1488
01:32:15,734 --> 01:32:19,054
island out the coast of east fabric. So I think.

1489
01:32:19,142 --> 01:32:22,702
Oh, so I'm sorry. There you go. They use the

1490
01:32:22,726 --> 01:32:26,866
location really well as far as. And yeah,

1491
01:32:26,898 --> 01:32:30,402
I, I on the,

1492
01:32:30,426 --> 01:32:34,450
on the total grand scale of Jade Jade in Lost City though I

1493
01:32:34,490 --> 01:32:37,970
really enjoy my time with it. I miss films like this. I think

1494
01:32:38,010 --> 01:32:41,906
the last one they were really had that was like Indiana

1495
01:32:41,938 --> 01:32:45,986
Jones type adventure film was that very first mummy film with Brendan

1496
01:32:46,018 --> 01:32:49,426
Fraser. And I I, it's,

1497
01:32:49,458 --> 01:32:52,886
it's good enough for me. I mean I, I need more stuff

1498
01:32:52,918 --> 01:32:56,678
like that. You know, we have the dam who's not quite

1499
01:32:56,694 --> 01:33:00,326
in distress but she's kind of is, she's kind of independent and

1500
01:33:00,478 --> 01:33:04,262
you know, she's. But yeah, nobody's really an afterthought in

1501
01:33:04,286 --> 01:33:07,622
this movie. That's what I really liked about this film, that all your

1502
01:33:07,646 --> 01:33:10,886
main characters all genuinely had something to do.

1503
01:33:10,958 --> 01:33:14,774
And not like. Not like the last movie.

1504
01:33:14,902 --> 01:33:18,576
No. For, say, you know, I recommend

1505
01:33:18,608 --> 01:33:22,608
Jane to the Lost City exponentially over the prestige film

1506
01:33:22,664 --> 01:33:26,400
that is the. That is Monuments. Then. I. I never

1507
01:33:26,440 --> 01:33:30,384
thought I'd say this, but. But you know what? If you got 90 minutes plus

1508
01:33:30,432 --> 01:33:33,840
some ads, go to Tubi and watch it. It's just,

1509
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:37,136
it's. I think there's a DVD out there, but it's not a label

1510
01:33:37,168 --> 01:33:40,944
I never heard of before. But it would not surprise me if, like, Aquino Lorber

1511
01:33:40,992 --> 01:33:44,014
picked this up and not even put extras on it.

1512
01:33:44,022 --> 01:33:46,910
Well, I. I would love to hear a commentary, but you never can't tell.

1513
01:33:47,030 --> 01:33:51,134
But. Oh, God, I think Sam would just embellish

1514
01:33:51,182 --> 01:33:54,530
the. Out of it. Yeah, give. Give. Same joke.

1515
01:33:55,590 --> 01:33:58,690
Yes, indeed. You can do a lot of this movie.

1516
01:34:00,550 --> 01:34:04,014
Bill Murray was in this movie. Like the Bill Murray for Monuments

1517
01:34:04,062 --> 01:34:07,518
Men just walked into this movie. Play like the Colonel or something like. Yeah,

1518
01:34:07,534 --> 01:34:11,042
that'd be cool. No, Looking for the. The hidden stash and

1519
01:34:11,146 --> 01:34:13,906
the diamonds that the Nazis took. Oh,

1520
01:34:13,938 --> 01:34:17,266
God, we're onto something here. There we go.

1521
01:34:17,338 --> 01:34:20,050
That. That's the. That's the. You. That's the universe.

1522
01:34:20,210 --> 01:34:23,906
That's the hit cannon. I want. That's the crossover. The Monuments Men

1523
01:34:23,978 --> 01:34:27,314
meets Jane in the Lost City. Bill Murray trying to

1524
01:34:27,322 --> 01:34:30,962
get those diamonds and, you know, just making, like, off the cuff

1525
01:34:31,026 --> 01:34:34,266
comments about Jane and her garter

1526
01:34:34,298 --> 01:34:37,738
bel. Yeah. Bob Balaban,

1527
01:34:37,834 --> 01:34:41,114
like, talking with tombs like that. That would work. Oh,

1528
01:34:41,162 --> 01:34:43,850
yeah. But for the love of God,

1529
01:34:44,010 --> 01:34:47,434
don't step out a landmine. No, yeah, don't do that.

1530
01:34:47,522 --> 01:34:50,986
Yeah, yeah. Just a lot of stuff

1531
01:34:51,018 --> 01:34:54,186
works for you. The Pratt balls. You know,

1532
01:34:54,258 --> 01:34:57,150
Jane loses her clothes in hilarious ways.

1533
01:34:58,370 --> 01:35:02,182
Ridiculous. Hogan's Heroes, Nazis in this movie.

1534
01:35:02,346 --> 01:35:05,502
Yep. I just. I love

1535
01:35:05,526 --> 01:35:08,782
everything about it. And you know what? If you don't like anything about it,

1536
01:35:08,806 --> 01:35:11,118
maybe you need more joy in your life. I'm just gonna throw it out there,

1537
01:35:11,174 --> 01:35:14,782
you know? Yeah, you could do a lot worse than

1538
01:35:14,806 --> 01:35:17,390
Jane the Lost City, in my opinion.

1539
01:35:17,550 --> 01:35:20,126
And yeah, I need more meathead.

1540
01:35:20,238 --> 01:35:26,702
Meathead Carl in this movie about

1541
01:35:26,726 --> 01:35:30,344
this Bill was that. I need that. But it's.

1542
01:35:30,392 --> 01:35:33,560
It's. It's a high. A high recommend for me to just

1543
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:36,660
say, you know what? Everybody takes everything so seriously now.

1544
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:40,792
Why not watch this girl get her dress up again in hilarious ways?

1545
01:35:40,856 --> 01:35:44,280
It's like, oh, no, Jane got wet from the river. She had their clothes up

1546
01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:47,976
again. You know, it's just. It's. It's there

1547
01:35:48,128 --> 01:35:51,432
and it's Not. It's not objectifying women all

1548
01:35:51,456 --> 01:35:54,616
that much because they're not really. Like we said, they're not really looking at her

1549
01:35:54,688 --> 01:35:58,450
that way. You know, they're more saying cover her up than anything else.

1550
01:35:58,610 --> 01:36:02,226
So, yeah, it's, it's, it's good. It's, it's.

1551
01:36:02,258 --> 01:36:05,682
It's a pure good. I see that about so many films that like this.

1552
01:36:05,706 --> 01:36:09,474
But you know what hour 33 minutes is breezy as.

1553
01:36:09,562 --> 01:36:12,802
And it'll please you on a hangover

1554
01:36:12,866 --> 01:36:16,082
Sunday morning, let's put it that way. Oh, yeah,

1555
01:36:16,226 --> 01:36:19,826
yeah. But that's

1556
01:36:19,858 --> 01:36:23,062
it for Jane and her slip. We'll be

1557
01:36:23,086 --> 01:36:24,930
right back to close out the show.

1558
01:36:29,870 --> 01:36:32,130
And now, preview time.

1559
01:36:36,910 --> 01:36:40,930
When it comes to entertainment, you can't beat a good film.

1560
01:36:42,110 --> 01:36:45,010
So let's take a look at what's coming your way.

1561
01:36:50,750 --> 01:36:54,156
It's the ultimate soldier. It doesn't get happen. It doesn't get sad. It doesn't laugh

1562
01:36:54,188 --> 01:36:57,388
at your jokes. It is quite simply, the most

1563
01:36:57,444 --> 01:37:01,548
sophisticated robot on Earth. At Nova Robotics,

1564
01:37:01,644 --> 01:37:04,860
the future is in good hands. You do real good. Just keep working

1565
01:37:04,900 --> 01:37:07,772
on those last two bars. Thanks to Dr. Newton Crosby.

1566
01:37:07,836 --> 01:37:11,772
Originally, I designed it as a marital. Aid, but artificial intelligence has

1567
01:37:11,796 --> 01:37:15,852
gotten too smart. It's malfunctioning. It might not do anything,

1568
01:37:15,916 --> 01:37:19,606
but it. Could decide to blow away anything that moves. Couldn't. Because $11

1569
01:37:19,678 --> 01:37:22,930
million worth of robot just hit the road.

1570
01:37:24,350 --> 01:37:27,558
Number five is alive. Welcome to my

1571
01:37:27,614 --> 01:37:30,998
planet. You just have to find Number Five, get some answers. Why don't

1572
01:37:31,014 --> 01:37:34,310
you come on in my house? And it's got a lot of living to

1573
01:37:34,350 --> 01:37:37,734
do. Whatever it takes to put that stupid contraption out of commission.

1574
01:37:37,822 --> 01:37:40,930
That's what you do. Me? In part.

1575
01:37:41,630 --> 01:37:44,350
Haven't you had enough of this stuff? More in. Perfect.

1576
01:37:45,480 --> 01:37:48,660
They can seem quite lifelike, but they are still machines.

1577
01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:54,080
Number Five is alive. Nice software.

1578
01:37:54,240 --> 01:37:57,140
How it happens, who knows? But it has happened.

1579
01:37:57,560 --> 01:38:01,136
A new comedy adventure from John Banham. The director of War

1580
01:38:01,208 --> 01:38:04,460
Games. They're going to be after you. We got to get out of here now.

1581
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:08,960
Keep alive. Ally Sheedy,

1582
01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:11,910
Steve Gutenberg and Number Five.

1583
01:38:12,210 --> 01:38:15,818
Beautiful short circuit.

1584
01:38:15,914 --> 01:38:17,790
I am alive.

1585
01:38:25,010 --> 01:38:28,586
All right, that's the end of another one. I'm damn

1586
01:38:28,618 --> 01:38:31,190
happy to say it was a good time.

1587
01:38:33,250 --> 01:38:36,394
And thank you, Lee, for. For coming on the

1588
01:38:36,402 --> 01:38:39,456
show, my friend. And, uh, yeah, it was a pleasure,

1589
01:38:39,488 --> 01:38:42,304
man. Yeah, no, this was the highlight of my week,

1590
01:38:42,392 --> 01:38:46,272
so thanks for bringing me. Always good to talk to you,

1591
01:38:46,296 --> 01:38:49,584
Lee. Yeah. Been a while, Suzanne.

1592
01:38:49,632 --> 01:38:52,860
It was. It's fun. Oh, I know it has been.

1593
01:38:54,360 --> 01:38:57,424
But I know you got something pushed through. I I just listened to one of

1594
01:38:57,432 --> 01:39:01,072
your episodes recently. What you got coming up on? They must

1595
01:39:01,096 --> 01:39:04,368
be this right on site. So as of this

1596
01:39:04,424 --> 01:39:08,192
recording, our latest episode is the blaxploitation

1597
01:39:08,256 --> 01:39:12,054
film Bucktown. Did that with Matt

1598
01:39:12,102 --> 01:39:16,406
from Movie Melt and Vaughn from Motion Picture Massacre.

1599
01:39:16,438 --> 01:39:19,814
And we're getting together again this Saturday and we're going to be

1600
01:39:19,822 --> 01:39:23,010
doing an episode on across 110th Street.

1601
01:39:23,390 --> 01:39:26,742
So that will be the next episode. Probably the latest thing

1602
01:39:26,766 --> 01:39:31,130

1616
01:40:16,510 --> 01:40:19,730
of hanging out with the Cinema Beef right now.

1617
01:40:20,030 --> 01:40:23,782
Maybe I'll jump on something at some point, but kind

1618
01:40:23,806 --> 01:40:27,350
of happy right here right now, and I don't have to stretch my brain that

1619
01:40:27,390 --> 01:40:30,822
much. Yeah, Almost went

1620
01:40:30,846 --> 01:40:34,962
on a W on Tuesday night, but my. My connection

1621
01:40:35,026 --> 01:40:38,530
was shit for some reason. So I was like. Like the moment I sit down

1622
01:40:38,570 --> 01:40:42,162
to be on that show, my fucking connection turns into shit, you know? So this

1623
01:40:42,186 --> 01:40:45,522
is. Oh, I know. I almost jumped in Tuesday night just because they

1624
01:40:45,546 --> 01:40:49,310
were doing dad Snow, which is one of my favorite movies of all time.

1625
01:40:50,170 --> 01:40:53,426
Yeah. God, I love that movie. I really, really,

1626
01:40:53,498 --> 01:40:56,898
really need a movie poster of Dead Snow. Oh,

1627
01:40:56,914 --> 01:41:00,474
yeah. God, I love that movie.

1628
01:41:00,642 --> 01:41:03,994
If. Coming up, if you

1629
01:41:04,002 --> 01:41:07,274
guys are in Chicago in March, towards the end of

1630
01:41:07,282 --> 01:41:10,890
the month days, the Dead's happening, I'll probably be going for a short

1631
01:41:10,930 --> 01:41:13,818
time that day. But if you're in the Chicagoland area, you want to come hang

1632
01:41:13,834 --> 01:41:17,642
out, have a pint or something? Brit Eckland's gonna be there, which is the main

1633
01:41:17,666 --> 01:41:21,590
reason why I'm going, because. Wait, what? She just got announced,

1634
01:41:22,130 --> 01:41:25,418
didn't she? Brett Eklund and Bill Duke are gonna

1635
01:41:25,434 --> 01:41:29,080
be there. So that's. Those are the two. Damn. The two big ones,

1636
01:41:29,420 --> 01:41:31,840
the money. That's what I'm doing, you know.

1637
01:41:32,940 --> 01:41:36,036
Oh, I may have to like. Damn,

1638
01:41:36,228 --> 01:41:39,600
damn, damn. I'm gonna have to do that.

1639
01:41:40,380 --> 01:41:44,132
Damn, damn, damn. It's Gonna. But I

1640
01:41:44,156 --> 01:41:46,080
gotta see what my schedule is.

1641
01:41:49,260 --> 01:41:52,212
As far as this show goes. I don't know what's coming up next. This one

1642
01:41:52,236 --> 01:41:56,138
was kind of built on the wind and you know, should be told X

1643
01:41:56,194 --> 01:41:59,194
is taking a slight sabbatical from the show. Which is why we didn't do the

1644
01:41:59,202 --> 01:42:04,030
Manitou and the Dark Half. Because already regularly scheduled programming

1645
01:42:04,450 --> 01:42:08,058
that was going to involve him is being rescheduled until

1646
01:42:08,114 --> 01:42:11,802
he. He's back at it. Uh, no details are necessary.

1647
01:42:11,866 --> 01:42:15,594
He just has step away for a month or possibly two.

1648
01:42:15,682 --> 01:42:19,114
It's just uh. Yeah, that, that is why you're not hearing him in this episode.

1649
01:42:19,162 --> 01:42:22,954
I was just putting it out there. He's. He's denying the people the Manitou and

1650
01:42:22,962 --> 01:42:26,448
the Dark Half. He's a monster. It was,

1651
01:42:26,584 --> 01:42:28,740
it was a decision. So. Yeah,

1652
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:33,520
you have no idea the rants I

1653
01:42:33,560 --> 01:42:37,280
have for that movie. Unfortunately I had to lay them on my husband since

1654
01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:40,848
I couldn't lay them on you. And he's like, baby, you better

1655
01:42:40,904 --> 01:42:43,696
write this down. I'm going to bed now.

1656
01:42:43,768 --> 01:42:48,336
I don't want to hear it anymore. It's Patrick's

1657
01:42:48,368 --> 01:42:51,180
first hats he could take. Hey, come on now. You know.

1658
01:42:52,890 --> 01:42:56,786
No, but I literally got my hand slamming on the table and

1659
01:42:56,858 --> 01:42:59,710
he's like, baby, I'm gonna go to bed now.

1660
01:43:03,450 --> 01:43:07,298
Hear him say this too in the pet voice, you know.

1661
01:43:07,434 --> 01:43:10,658
Huh. But yeah, I've been doing lazy this streams

1662
01:43:10,674 --> 01:43:13,794
on Instagram if you guys can find me there. Beefy Beard

1663
01:43:13,842 --> 01:43:17,634
22 on. On Instagram. Some of those baby

1664
01:43:17,682 --> 01:43:20,896
shows I just gotta one in with a big ass

1665
01:43:20,968 --> 01:43:24,880
cast and called Hang Fire that has

1666
01:43:24,920 --> 01:43:28,976
a bunch of. Bunch of genre people in it and I can't

1667
01:43:29,008 --> 01:43:32,720
wait to watch that thing. So that, that might be a show with something else

1668
01:43:32,880 --> 01:43:36,992
you could. Yeah you could do. You could convert those all into like

1669
01:43:37,096 --> 01:43:40,432
cinema beef minis and you could like give him

1670
01:43:40,456 --> 01:43:44,208
the what's his face for Legion podcast. He stick them on the YouTube.

1671
01:43:44,304 --> 01:43:47,664
You know, you could do all kinds of stuff. I think the

1672
01:43:47,672 --> 01:43:50,864
next show you should hear though that we're in talks of recording again

1673
01:43:50,952 --> 01:43:54,128
soon will be another in the Paradeway show with John

1674
01:43:54,184 --> 01:43:56,928
Cross. So if you guys are enjoying.

1675
01:43:57,104 --> 01:44:00,896
Yeah, those are fun because me and John gets stupid

1676
01:44:01,008 --> 01:44:05,456
and yes

1677
01:44:05,488 --> 01:44:08,816
indeed, the one that's coming next up will be on the Diner

1678
01:44:08,848 --> 01:44:12,672
very, very soon because I know he's editing it where we cover into the

1679
01:44:12,696 --> 01:44:16,380
sun and what the was the VHS pick.

1680
01:44:16,420 --> 01:44:20,188
I forget now. Either way, into the sun with Parade

1681
01:44:20,284 --> 01:44:24,080
and Anthony Michael Hall. Oh God.

1682
01:44:29,060 --> 01:44:32,236
You like Top Gun? Please tell me it's a horrible version

1683
01:44:32,268 --> 01:44:35,100
of Top Gun because I would think I would love the out of that.

1684
01:44:35,220 --> 01:44:39,148
Well, they take Top Gun and they take the hard way with Michael J.

1685
01:44:39,204 --> 01:44:42,802
Fox and James Woods. They mash them

1686
01:44:42,826 --> 01:44:46,630
together by saying Anthony Michael hall is an actor

1687
01:44:47,210 --> 01:44:50,754
who wants to be in a fighter pilot movie. So he goes up

1688
01:44:50,762 --> 01:44:56,002
with real fighter pilot Michael Perret and gets into some real conflict.

1689
01:44:56,146 --> 01:45:00,230
Yeah. And. Oh, it sounds amazing.

1690
01:45:00,730 --> 01:45:04,150
It's, it's, it's fine. It's fine. Oh,

1691
01:45:04,570 --> 01:45:08,084
I'm trying to get the guy that beat has picked either way. That'll be

1692
01:45:08,092 --> 01:45:11,760
on the after movie diner feed to find both these things.

1693
01:45:12,540 --> 01:45:16,180
And John Cross has been doing his thing. I'll share the link on the

1694
01:45:16,300 --> 01:45:19,892
Simpe page to collect all the episodes on one page.

1695
01:45:20,036 --> 01:45:23,444
But that's what we're doing. We're alternating his feed and my feed.

1696
01:45:23,572 --> 01:45:27,444
Yeah. So that's, that's fun.

1697
01:45:27,532 --> 01:45:31,360
It's fun getting to some lesser known stuff. And the, the one,

1698
01:45:31,740 --> 01:45:35,060
one Michael Perret who has had an incredibly long career and

1699
01:45:35,100 --> 01:45:38,894
still going today. He has a various looking horror film that's coming out

1700
01:45:38,982 --> 01:45:42,382
or it's like the Hills have Eyes but looks like a lot of practical

1701
01:45:42,446 --> 01:45:45,966
effects and it's. Oh cool. Called Desert

1702
01:45:45,998 --> 01:45:49,486
Fiends. It's called. And it just looks like a gory mess

1703
01:45:49,558 --> 01:45:54,798
that I'm gonna enjoy. So yeah,

1704
01:45:54,814 --> 01:45:58,654
that's the end of this one. This has been your Cindy podcast

1705
01:45:58,702 --> 01:46:02,270

1706
01:46:02,310 --> 01:46:02,390
