[00:03:02]>> This This was a traumatic little uh >> I'm going to paraphrase Rebecca. I need some whimsy in my Evil Dead. [laughter] >> I got whimsy for you. I'm going to talk about it. This This shit's been like the DS9 of Evil Dead for me because it's like they took the whimsy out and now I'm just scared.

[00:03:18]>> I don't get to laugh ever. I just get to cry.

[00:03:21]>> This one uh this one was uh Yeah. You know those uh uh seat uh headrests in your car? You know how they pop out and there's those two long, you know? Yeah.

[00:03:32]>> Metal metal rods, >> spikes.

[00:03:34]>> She had one in her head uh and she pulled it out.

[00:03:39]>> Mhm.

[00:03:40]>> Go and watch the trailer. And then she drinks the hot candle wax as you can see there.

[00:03:44]>> She thirsty.

[00:03:46]>> She is thirsty. Uh this is uh it was disturbing. I won't lie. Uh Evil Dead Burn unleashes the franchise's most savage and terrifying ride to date, says the log line here. Uh blazing into big screens with an allnew chapter of carnage and demonic mayhem. After the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws in their secluded family home.

[00:04:10]>> Hooray. Yay.

[00:04:12]>> Right away there.

[00:04:12]>> Yay.

[00:04:13]>> There's just one trellis bridge to get to the cabin.

[00:04:17]>> As one by one they are transformed into deadites, turning the gathering into a family reunion from hell. She comes to discover that the vows that she took in life live on even in death.

[00:04:28]>> Yay.

[00:04:30]>> Who's directing this one?

[00:04:31]>> Uh this is a uh let's see. French filmmaker Sebastian Vanisk >> but produced by Sam Ramy.

[00:04:39]>> Produced by Sam Ramy. Yeah. This guy directed the uh spider killer spider movie Infested.

[00:04:46]I don't know if you saw that or not, but this hits July 10th.

[00:04:50]>> Uh and then they're they're continuing the Evil Dead movies. After that, it's Evil Dead Wrath, >> which is coming in 2028.

[00:04:59]>> I I want Evil Dead Laugh. I just want to laugh.

[00:05:02]>> Evil Dead Laugh. [laughter] >> Yeah.

[00:05:05]Well, after you said evil dead wrath, I was like, are we going with just the seven deadly sins of Evil Dead?

[00:05:10]>> Oh, >> well, burn's not a sin.

[00:05:12]>> That's why that's why I was like, "Oh, burn."

[00:05:15]>> Rise. Evil Dead Rise. Rising is not a sin.

[00:05:19]>> It should.

[00:05:20]>> I will I will say though that that lady levitating over the warf after ripping the skull scalp off alltime title card drop.

[00:05:28]>> Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[00:05:29]>> It's an amazing movie that I'll never watch again.

[00:05:32]>> Ever. [laughter] Are you going to watch this one?

[00:05:35]>> No.

[00:05:36]>> No. I I mean, if if it's daylight and all my friends are holding my hand, >> just can be arranged.

[00:05:44]>> That was a hard no.

[00:05:46]>> Kio in the chat. Evil Dead. Live, laugh, love.

[00:05:49]>> I Yeah, I that Evil Dead Rise was it was so good and [snorts] it it messed with me and I slept poorly. Now, this trailer though, when you watch it, [snorts] uh, you know, it's it's that uh what is it? Uh, the Czechov or Shroudinger's gun. I can't remember. Where you show a gun?

[00:06:09]>> Check off. Thank you. You show a gun in the first act, you're bound to use it in later in the movie.

[00:06:14]>> Well, this one featured a uh an automatic dishwasher.

[00:06:17]>> Czechov's dishwasher.

[00:06:19]>> Czechov's dishwasher where they were putting See, and this is why you're supposed to put the sharp stuff pointing down and not up. See?

[00:06:27]>> [laughter] >> My wife learned that because it hit the agitator arm and threw the knife through the washing machine.

[00:06:32]>> Exactly.

[00:06:33]>> And uh somehow a guy falls on all of the >> That's truly one of my biggest fears.

[00:06:40][laughter] >> Well, it's just common sense to point the pointy side stuff down because if you're going to reach down to pick it up, you don't want to be having to pick up the pointy side when you're putting this silverware.

[00:06:48]>> That's what I was saying when they were loading the dishwasher in this trailer.

[00:06:51]I'm like, "No, no, side down." We can call this year Czechov's cinematic bingo card because we had we had Czechov's giant marble sphincter in Frankenstein.

[00:07:01]>> Yeah.

[00:07:02]>> Oh, >> yeah. Oh, because it was a giant funnel made out of marble and the second you see it, you're like, "Someone's going to messily fall down that.

[00:07:08]>> Someone's going to fall down that." Yep.

[00:07:10]>> Yep.

[00:07:10]>> All right.

[00:07:11]>> We weren't going to know he was in late stage syphilis and just go squish.

[00:07:14]>> That sphincter will definitely claim somebody. [laughter] And then another trailer that we got this week uh was for the Burrows.

[00:07:25]Now, >> something's wrong with that kid's hand.

[00:07:27]>> Now, when I say the Duffer Brothers, you're going to think, well, Stranger Things, I'm I'm out. Um, but this looks interesting. Um, it's it's it's [laughter] it's continuing the uh story set in retirement communities, you know, mysteries in retirement communities theme. Uh, you know, you got Man Inside from Ted Dansen, you got Thursday Murder Club, and now the Burroughs from the Duffer Brothers. Uh, this is a fascinating look at look at this cast.

[00:07:56]First of all, Alfred Molina, Gina Davis, Alfrey Woodard, Bill Pullman. All right.

[00:08:01]>> Bunch of old people.

[00:08:03]>> Yeah.

[00:08:04]>> Uh, here's here's the uh here's the log line for it. In the sundrenched expanse of the New Mexico desert lies the Burrows, a picturesque retirement community promising its residents the time of their lives.

[00:08:16]>> Retirement.

[00:08:18]>> I want to go to there.

[00:08:19]>> Well, you you would love it.

[00:08:21]>> The half the first half of the trailer I was like, "Yeah, sign me up."

[00:08:24]>> Yeah. But for new arrival Sam Cooper, Alfred Molina, Paradise feels uh more like a prison. Everything changes when a terrifying nightmare encounter reveals that something monstrous is stalking the manicured culde-sacs. Uh, dismissed by the powers that be, just as another confused old man, Sam finds unlikely allies in a band of neighborhood misfits, a sharp-witted former journalist, a spiritual seeker, a cynical music manager, and a brilliant doctor running out of options. Overlook and underestimated, these unlikely heroes must band together to unravel the dark truth at the heart of the burrows.

[00:08:58]Oh, it's Pluribus.

[00:09:00]>> Let's not forget Let's not forget the Duffer brothers actually made a phenomenal season of Stranger Things.

[00:09:06]The first season was amazing. And it wasn't until Netflix started patting out the episode count and saying, "No, you need to tell this story twice >> twice as many episodes and make sure you explain everything slowly to the dumb audience."

[00:09:20]>> So, you've got a little bit of Cocoon, you got a little bit of the BBS, a little bit of Stranger Things happening.

[00:09:25]And I think that these are either aliens or some sort of creatures that are living.

[00:09:30]>> What if it's a Stranger Things spin-off?

[00:09:32]>> It's older things.

[00:09:33]>> I would be so >> older [laughter] things.

[00:09:35]>> I'd watch older things.

[00:09:38]>> I watch older things every time I come to podcast WITH YOU GUYS.

[00:09:42]>> OH.

[00:09:43]>> OH MAN.

[00:09:46]>> WAIT.

[00:09:46]>> Wait till I talk to your dad during this week's old guy meeting. [laughter] >> All right, Rebecca.

[00:10:00]>> Here it comes.

[00:10:01]>> Any minute now.

[00:10:10][laughter] >> Carrie, five minutes later. Okay, wait.

[00:10:26]>> Cuz you're young.

[00:10:27]>> Well, O'Brien, let's tell you, [laughter] you chose us >> that one on yourself, I'm afraid.

[00:10:33]>> You You go You go kayaking with your friend like we told you to. [laughter] >> All right. And uh another little bit of footage that we got this week was uh on Disney Plus.

[00:10:45]>> Yeah. Yeah. [laughter] >> Look at these. There's a um >> there's like a uh I want to say four-part kind of mini documentary um you know focusing on the Mandalorian and Grou. Uh so uh you know you got some it's called Mandalorian and Grou a special look. It's a 4-minute clip viewable from the uh Disney Plus and uh it's got some interviews and it's got some extra footage that that was shown only to Cineacon and things like that.

[00:11:22]He's >> They also on May 4th did like a 30 minute like you can watch 30 minutes of this movie in the theater.

[00:11:30]>> In the theater.

[00:11:39]>> Yeah, it'll all be out by the time just in bits.

[00:11:41]>> I haven't seen any of it.

[00:11:44]>> I I have a question.

[00:11:45]>> No.

[00:11:46]>> All right. Yes.

[00:11:46]>> I have a question about Baby Greg. Did we ever learn what is >> I've been calling this movie Mandy and Greg. Did we ever [laughter] >> Did we ever and Yeah. Did we ever learn what made like what Grou like why he was so crucial? Like what his whole deal was like why was he so important?

[00:12:09]>> He was he was in the Jedi temple. I know when the >> they were trying [laughter] to they were trying to steal his blood or something, weren't they?

[00:12:16]>> Yeah. The guys the General Hux from the sequel trilogy. His father was part of an enclave of outcast Imperial officers working with Moff Gideon to extract his blood for what ends up being the cloning project to bring back Palpatine.

[00:14:26]>> I I don't like going to the theater.

[00:14:29]There's usually some univilized barbarian who takes their shoes off and eats a tuna sandwich while sitting directly next to me. Even though I know there's room for them to sit somewhere else, but I I'm I'm feeling I feel like I need Star Wars on a big screen right now.

[00:15:16]>> A couple weeks away.

[00:15:17]>> Yeah. Okay.

[00:15:19]>> All right.

[00:15:19]>> And everyone's already seen it because of all of the footage they've already released. Oh, is is this Scott uh Scott Pilgrim syndrome where by the time the movie came out, everybody and their Five Critic friends saw it and so it bombed?

[00:15:31]>> Could be. I don't know.

[00:15:32]>> Every time I see an article about it, they're lowering the expected revenue for the weekend. Disney is. It's down.

[00:15:39]They say they're going to be lucky to clear like 80 million at this point.

[00:15:42]>> Is Disney pulling a Warner Brothers? It just got to be like we're we are managing a whole bunch of expectations.

[00:18:59]Let's go sit by grandpa just in case he falls asleep and we can steal his snacks.

[00:19:02]>> I mean, but also people the seats are assigned.

[00:19:06]>> Yeah, [laughter] >> they're not choosing to sit by you.

[00:19:09]>> They go online and then they they see >> and they say Lee Lee bought this seat.

[00:19:13]>> Yep. [laughter] >> I realize it's not rational, but it makes sense to me.

[00:19:18]>> Well, buy all the seats around you and then that way no one >> I I don't have I don't have I don't have money. It can't be like [laughter] >> it's just a banana. Michael, >> there's always money in the banana stand.

[00:19:32]>> All right, let's be >> What if you go in with pure intentions?

[00:19:37]>> Thinking [laughter] how many hours I'm going to have to dance on the corner of State Maine just to manifest good energy and good vibes to the theater.

[00:19:48][clears throat] >> Yeah. Maybe you can pay your ticket in vibes as well, Lee.

[00:19:51]>> Yeah.

[00:19:52]>> Yeah. just going to say, "But look, I've got nothing but good intention. I'll see you in in the theater." Yeah.

[00:19:57]>> Excuse me, sir. You cannot sit here. I have good intentions. Please move along.

[00:20:03]>> Look, I wouldn't care if they took their shoes off and ate a tuna fish sandwich if they brought one for me.

[00:20:08][laughter] >> Would you eat a tuna fish sandwich, Lee?

[00:20:11]>> From a some stranger if some stranger without shoes on handed me one. Sure.

If you watch enough Riverdale, she's she's a little bit crosseyed sometimes."

[00:30:39]>> Let's go.

[00:30:41]>> Uh, I Yeah, I'll just jump into movies.

[00:30:44]Do you guys remember Mortal Kombat from 2010?

[00:30:48]>> Mortal Wombat.

[00:30:49]>> Um, >> yes.

[00:30:51]>> Okay. Well, if you don't, you have to watch it before you go see Mortal Kombat 2 now in theaters.

[00:31:00]>> Mortal Kombat 2 looks at you and goes, "You better remember everything that happened in the first movie or else."

[00:31:08]And I don't know about you guys, that movie came out six years ago. I didn't rewatch it. I don't remember anything.

[00:31:14]>> I didn't even know it came out >> until it's on HBO. It was on your uh HBO. Ah, it was a co movie.

[00:31:22]>> It was a co movie.

[00:31:24]>> It was >> I'm really sorry to all the Mortal Kombat fans. I did not like this movie.

[00:31:31]I was so bored. I wanted to leave. I gave it the rare >> half star out of five on Letterbox because I hated it so much.

[00:31:41]>> Why did you like the first one?

[00:31:43]>> I don't remember. [laughter] >> Exactly.

[00:31:47]Um, >> is this is this happening with every all the critics or are you in the minority?

[00:31:51]>> I am in the minority. I think I see a lot of other people giving it three stars out of five. And you know what?

[00:31:58][sighs and gasps] >> Happy for them. I was >> I was so bored.

[00:32:02]>> So, even the charm of Carl Urban couldn't.

[00:32:04]>> What charm?

[00:32:07][gasps] >> Between this and the boys, it's a bad time to be Carl Urban, I think.

[00:32:13]>> Wow. Wow. Um, there's a scene in this new Mortal Kombat where they're they're showing a clip of like the 19 whatever 1996 action movie that he's in. They didn't even bother to deage him. It's the same Carl Urban. [laughter] >> He's ageless. This is just how he's always looked.

[00:32:31]>> He's the Paul Red of the Mortal Kombat universe.

[00:32:35]>> I don't know. He's looking kind of old.

[00:32:38][gasps and laughter] Um, I never played the video games that and but I have I have watched many boys play it in their basement >> in my Why Why would you do that?

[00:32:51]>> Were you ever a teenage girl hanging out with boys in high school?

[00:32:55]>> Sure [laughter] wasn't.

[00:32:56]>> I was I was We didn't have video games when I was a teenager.

[00:33:01]>> I don't think you should have to have played the game to enjoy a game adaptation of a movie.

[00:33:06]>> Yeah. Me too. Me too. But then every time but then every time something happened in this movie that would be like an obvious video game reference and I'm like okay we didn't I don't feel like I didn't earn this.

[00:33:18]>> Like I would I would love to have some insight into what any of this means. Um and I like bad movies. I like bad action movies. The biggest sin a movie can commit in my opinion is to be boring.

[00:33:33]And this is so boring. Do you know do you know in movies music music is a pretty crucial element to movies to um they and this music can often tell you how you should be feeling. It can often help enhance a scene. This movie had music 100% of the time. There was never a moment where music was not playing.

[00:33:58][laughter] >> Maybe some silence. Let us sit in silence of the moment. Anyway, I didn't like this movie. I don't know who this movie is for. Like, it's for people who like the video games, I guess. And I'm excited to see it make $35.

[00:34:15]>> You know, a lot of video game adaptations suck. So, I'm just happy to see that.

[00:34:20]>> I mean, but Street Fighter looks fun.

[00:34:22]>> Mortal Kombat 2 looked fun in the trailers.

[00:34:25]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:34:26]>> I I I'll be honest. I don't have any faith in the Street Fighter.

[00:34:30]>> Sure. Really? I actually have less faith in that than I did in this.

[00:34:33]>> Yeah. Well, >> and >> I'll be surprised if it's any good.

[00:34:38]>> Well, we'll see.

[00:34:39]>> Here's a movie you should go see if you're going out to the movie theater this weekend. Here's what you should see.

[00:34:45]>> Let me get my >> It's called The Sheep Detectives. No, wait. Hold on. Don't leave. It stars Hugh Jackman as a shepherd. No, wait.

[00:34:51]Please don't go.

[00:34:53]>> I saw the trailer for this. I thought it looked fun.

[00:34:56]This movie is about a shepherd named Hugh Jackman. And he [laughter] is a very nice shepherd who he he farms for he farms them for their wool only.

[00:35:09]He's not he's not um raising them for meat or anything, just wool. And he's he rescues some as well. He's like a rescue shepherd. It's so nice. And he does this thing where at the end of each day gathers all of his flock and he sits and he reads mystery novels to them and they all really like listening to Hugh Jackman read them stories and Julia >> a friend >> Julia Louie Drifus is is the star sheep of this show and she is the smartest sheep of all of them and she's always like I solved the mystery and she tells everybody and they're like oh Julia Lou Drifish sheep you're the smartest one of all of us and then one Okay, they wake up [snorts] and Hugh Jackman is dead and they take it upon themselves to solve his murder.

[00:35:59]How are sheep going to do that? Do you think they can't talk? No, but they're pretty smart. And they interact with the local the local policeman played by Nicholas Braun, cousin Greg from Succession. and Nicholas Glitzene Hill He-Man himself comes into town and he's a reporter and he's documenting the murder. And um here's the thing. I did not know this was a family movie. I went in thinking this was adapted from a book that you would see at like the airport, which no shade to airport books, they're they're good, but I thought I thought this was like that type of book.

[00:36:36]>> Sounds like you're throwing shade.

[00:36:38][laughter] Just a little. Just a little.

[00:36:41]Um, [gasps] but it but when I got to my screening and there was a ton of kids, I was like, "Oh, maybe I am misinterpreting what I expect this movie to be, and I did. I misinterpreted what this movie was to be." And here's the thing. This movie is one of the best movies of the year, you guys. Um, do you >> You're not the You're not the only critic that has said that.

[00:37:02]>> Yeah. Do you guys like Paddington, too?

[00:37:04]>> No.

[00:37:05]>> Mhm.

[00:37:06]>> Never seen a Paddington movie.

[00:37:07]>> Uh, yeah, I haven't either. Oh my god, you guys. Paddington.

[00:37:11]>> So, Paddington 2 was really popular, so I decided I hated it.

[00:37:14]>> Oh my god, you guys.

[00:37:16]>> Even though I loved it and I watch it and I watch it like every six months and I think it's great. I will not openly admit to liking Paddington 2.

[00:37:24]>> Ultimate The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent makes the case for Paddington 2.

[00:37:30]>> That movie sucked.

[00:37:31]>> That movie ruled. What are you [laughter] talking about?

[00:37:35]>> Okay, listen. Okay, listen you guys.

[00:37:37]Sheep detectives. Um, okay. You'll laugh, you'll cry. I was sobbing over some CGI sheep. And after the movie, I was like, "Dang, why did this movie?

[00:37:49]What was going on?" So, I looked at the IMDb. Guess who wrote this movie?

[00:37:54]>> Craig Mason. Craig Ma of Chernobyl and Last of Us fame.

[00:38:00]>> What?

[00:38:00]>> Wow.

[00:38:01]>> And also superhero movie and a bunch of other like parody movies. But if if you look at Craig Mason's IMDb, he did like superhero movie. He did a bunch of silly little parody movies. And then he did Chernobyl, craziest heel turn of all time. [laughter] And he's just such a master emotional man manipulator that I was like, "Oh, of course I was sobbing over CGI sheep.

[00:38:22]This movie was incredible." This movie also rewards you for paying attention because there are so many little jokes peppered throughout the entire movie that if you're paying attention and you catch these jokes, you're going to have the heartiest chuckle. It's just >> I like jokes.

[00:38:39]>> It's just cute, you guys. It's really cute.

[00:38:41]>> Did music play through the entire movie?

[00:38:43]>> No, it didn't because they know what they're doing.

[00:38:46]>> Um, >> take [laughter] that. Mortal Kombat >> killer killer voice cast. Julia Lou Drifus, Brian Cranston, Chris Odow. Um, Brett Goldstein, uh, Patrick Stewart's there, you guys. Um, I just I can't recommend this movie enough. It was so good. I I encourage you to go see it.

[00:39:04]It's It's an Amazon MGM movie, so it will be on Prime pretty soon. I'm willing to bet.

[00:39:09]>> But I'm a big fan of supporting the theater. So, if you are going to go out, please go see The Sheep Detectives.

[00:39:17]>> I have one more movie. It's on Netflix.

[00:39:19]It's called Features. Yes. Who's more muscly in this movie? Hugh Jackman or the He-Man guy?

[00:39:27]>> You don't know because they always keep their shirts on.

[00:39:30]>> Come on.

[00:39:32]>> I know, Tony.

[00:39:33]>> What a joke. [laughter] >> It's disappointing for you and I'm sorry.

[00:39:36]>> Yeah. So disappointing.

[00:39:39]But on Netflix, a movie called Remarkably Bright Creatures adapted from a novel that I read and I loved and I saw like a little baby, so I was really looking forward to the adaptation. It's a really good book. The movie stars Sally Field and Lewis Pullman and Alfred Molina as the voice of an octopus named Marcellis. Isn't that fun? Doc O himself voicing an octopus.

[00:40:01]>> You like it? I like it.

[00:40:03]>> So, the the story itself takes place from three different perspectives. You have Marcelus the octopus who lives in the local town aquarium. Um Tova played by Sally Field who is the cleaning lady of the aquarium and she kind of befriends Marcelus and saves his life at one point. And then Lewis Pullman plays a guy named Cameron who he's like a 20-year-old kind of down on his luck.

[00:40:22]makes his way into town um because he's trying to resolve his own mystery and he gets a job at the uh aquarium as the clean with uh as cleaning with Sally Field and um they become friends and there there is a big mystery in the movie uh and in the book and when I was reading the book every time each character would get closer to resolving the mystery I turned into um Bob Odenkirk from Little Women when he walks in and I was like oh my remarkable ably bright creatures. I was [laughter] just just very happy for all of my remarkably bright creatures.

[00:41:00]The there's always there's always a thing that happens with book adaptations where a lot of stuff that really makes the novel stand out is going to get left out of the movie. And that's kind of the fumble with Remarkably Right Creatures is there's a lot of little stuff that happens in the book that had to get left out of the movie in order to make the movie enjoyable in one sitting. But it's still a very wholesome story. Uh again, wholes if you like wholesome stories featuring animals and trying to resolve your grief, [snorts] sheep detectives and remarkably great creatures. Excellent weekend for you guys. I >> I do have beef with Netflix because this does have that Netflix filter on it and I'm tired of it. I'm tired of Netflix movies looking the way they do.

[00:41:42]>> What do you mean by filter?

[00:41:44]>> Just very drab and cheap. Not not cheap, but like LGBT where's where's battlecry against Netflix.

[00:41:55]>> Like where's the vibrancy? There's just no vibrancy. There's not enough color.

[00:42:00]>> Couldn't afford it.

[00:42:02][laughter] >> Yeah. And granted the mo the movie takes place in the Pacific Northwest, but >> I don't know. Your book cover is extremely bright and colorful. You kind of expect to see that reflected in the movie. Um, and also for something >> northwest for a long time, it's very bright and vibrant.

[00:42:19]>> Well, and if you have a movie that partially takes place in an aquarium, use >> tropical fish color, >> use that opportunity to really enhance the vibrancy of colors. Um, it's cute, but it's wholesome. Like, I really I of course was sobbing again at the end because it was just so wholesome. And I really like Lewis Pullman and everything that he does. So, Remarkably Bright Creatures on Netflix.

[00:42:43]>> There you go.

[00:42:45]All right. Is that Is that everything?

[00:42:47]>> That's everything.

[00:42:48]>> That's everything. Who's next then?

[00:42:49]>> Oh god.

[00:42:50]>> Okay.

[00:42:50]>> Because because uh Yeah. Um another Netflix movie, War Machine.

[00:42:58]>> Um starring Alan.

[00:43:00]>> Alan Richson.

[00:43:02]>> Is this good? Is it enjoyable at least?

[00:43:05]>> Sure.

[00:43:06]>> Okay, [laughter] that's good enough for me. Good enough for me.

[00:43:09]>> It was It was a It was really formulaic.

[00:43:12]it. I mean, it wasn't horrible. Um, he's a a mechanic in the army um who winds up getting uh who's in one of the Middle Eastern U provinces, gets bombed, gets attacked, has recovery, has a promise with his brother that they're both going to become Ranger, US Ranger or Army Rangers, and uh his brother doesn't make it. So, he's soldiering on, no pun intended, to honor his brother's memory and what have you.

[00:43:45][sighs] >> The first thing about this movie is that like I think three people total have names in this movie and there's no [ __ ] ton of characters.

[00:43:54]>> What do you names for? Who's gonna have anyway? They they don't they literally have given you a number and taken away your name in the Ranger school.

[00:44:02]>> Oh, wow.

[00:44:03]>> That's what that's how you care about them less when they die. [laughter] Not unless they got entirely. That's a strange thing, >> but you never know. If you have the right number, you could get arrested for stealing bread and then have a Frenchman chase you for the rest of your life.

[00:44:15]>> But that is also true.

[00:44:16]>> Is that a real thing in Rangers training stuff that you just get a number? I have no idea.

[00:44:21]>> Never been a Ranger. Couldn't tell you.

[00:44:22]>> Okay.

[00:44:23]>> Um it was I mean the the effects in the movie were actually really really good.

[00:44:28]uh his uh squad winds up on a training detail and something goes horribly wrong and they've got to try to figure out how to solve that problem on top of returning back to base. Uh I won't give it away because it's uh a twist that I didn't really see coming, but it was for the movie. It was fun. Watching them try to overcome these odds was interesting.

[00:44:53]Um but at the end of it just kind of like, okay, we watch that.

[00:44:57]Eh, [laughter] um, other movies, uh, May the 4th was this past week, so we watched The Empire Strikes Back.

[00:45:08]Love it.

[00:45:10]>> Um, also, uh, and it's this way. There it is. Honoring honoring a movie that I s there we go. Movie that I saw, Project Hail Mary. Took Sarah to go see that this week. So, I had forgotten how much I appreciated the lack of sound in certain spots in this movie because you're in space and they and I appreciate it when a space movie >> has a scene that is completely silent, especially when the astronaut or somebody is outside the ship.

[00:45:41]>> Yeah.

[00:45:41]>> So, there's no way for the medium to carry or no medium for the air to uh the sound waves to carry. I appreciate that and they did that very well. Going back to Rebecca's point about um book adaptations not uh having certain things that made the book really uh shine.

[00:46:00]I was still kind of put off or not put off. I was a little disappointed in the first part of the movie where we are meeting um Ryan Gosling's character and he's waking up on the spaceship and discovering things. And I understand that you have to eliminate part of that to make the movie move along, but like some there were just a couple things about what as he's discovering his predicament that I felt could have been in the movie and not really dragged it along.

[00:46:27]So missed that a little bit, but otherwise >> kind of makes you wonder if they maybe could have done that movie in two parts.

[00:46:35]>> I don't know if it's a two-part movie to be honest. I think one was good and even at what 2 minutes uh 2 hours and 40 minutes possibly a little long. There could have been some things trimmed but overall I think it was a very good adaptation of the book.

[00:46:47]>> I'm going to trust Drew Goddard.

[00:46:50]>> Yeah.

[00:46:50]>> I mean it's a great movie. I love the second of it. Don't get me wrong when it comes to when it comes to a tight saying.

[00:46:58]>> Oh yeah. He's solid.

[00:46:59]>> Yeah.

[00:46:59]>> Yeah.

[00:47:00]>> Yeah. Um, so that was the adult TV, uh, The Wire, DS9, and Daredevil, which we will talk about in the afterparty. Wow.

[00:47:10]>> Just wow.

[00:47:11]>> Mhm.

[00:47:12]>> Care, you were right. One of the best things on TV right now.

[00:47:14]>> It is.

[00:47:16]>> And enjoyed everything about the way they wrapped it up, including some cameos that we got. I'm just like, "Oh, there you go. Thank you."

[00:47:26]>> Somebody's a giant liar.

[00:47:28][laughter] Somebody said they didn't have a cameo.

[00:47:32]>> I'm not going to complain.

[00:47:33]>> Yeah.

[00:47:34]>> Um, comics. I'm going to also bring up MK JSON. Read her stuff.

[00:47:40]>> Uh, really quick, Batman number nine by Matt Fraction. Uh, when Will Fall cover of Batman and Batgirl fighting the Gotham City Police Department because Mayor Pamela Eley and police commissioner Vandal Savage have put a war on >> Mayor Pamela Eley. So they are now >> they are now being uh hunted by the police.

[00:48:02]>> Interesting. Okay.

[00:48:03]>> Is the is the Floronic man leaving the parks department? [laughter] >> Have apparently muted my output. That's great.

[00:48:09]>> No, we can hear you. We can hear you.

[00:48:11]>> So I cannot hear anything anybody is saying.

[00:48:13]>> Oh, he muted his output.

[00:48:14]>> Oh, oops.

[00:48:14]>> Not the input. That's >> Oh, that's why. Failed it. Got it.

[00:48:18][laughter] >> Close one.

[00:48:20]>> Daredevil number two by Stephanie uh Phillips. Um, Daredevil is trying to solve a mystery of Matt Murdoch is being has he has been told Matt Murdoch is going to die and he's now trying to figure out who's going to kill Matt Murdoch and it's not going well and it's kind of getting inside his head.

[00:48:39]>> I hope it's Still Man.

[00:48:40]>> Absolute Superman number >> 19.

[00:48:44]>> Um, >> oh, >> we've everybody always wants to see Captain Marvel and Superman fight. Well, you don't get that in this. You do however get Black Adom in Superman fighting and doesn't go well for a certain Kryptonian.

[00:48:59]>> Well, >> what's absolute back black Adam?

[00:49:02]>> Uh, basically, >> he's he's interesting. I mean, I think he's going to be the little bit of backstory we've got so far is interesting.

[00:49:09]>> So, basically, he was a slave in Egypt 3,000 years ago, who wound up getting the same powers as Shazam and was like, well, if I'm if I have these powers, I'm going to free my people. and basically freed all the slaves in Egypt.

[00:49:25]>> But the way he got the powers is very different.

[00:49:27]>> Yes, that's cool.

[00:49:29]>> Cool.

[00:49:30]>> And uh and then was put put down for a nap for 3,000 years and he wakes up slightly cranky. Slightly I mean very cranky.

[00:49:38]>> So he's Rita Repulsa.

[00:49:41]>> 10,000.

[00:49:43]>> Unfortunately, there's no giant There's no giant. Um >> it's time to Earth. [laughter] Uh, Lady Mechanica, the Mechanical Menagerie number one by Joe Bonitez. Um, this is I' I've enjoyed the Lady Mechanica series. It's a steampunk um >> steampunk series uh steampunk era series with the protagonist who has no memory of her background. She woke up with um mechanical arms, legs, and eyes that are not quite normal. Um, and she's a basically a detective or troubleshooter uh in a Victorian England kind of setting.

[00:50:23]And this is I I really can't recommend the books enough. It's it the cover for those who are watching may look a little cheesecakeish, but the stories are actually very well told. Uh, pretty tight writing. I do recommend it. And lastly for Tony >> for Tony.

[00:50:41]>> Oh, >> Guy Gardner kills the Green Lantern core.

[00:50:45]>> Nice.

[00:50:46]>> A one shot with Guy Gardner. Um where he takes on well well he's dealing with internal affairs for the core.

[00:50:54]>> Of course he would be. [laughter] Of course.

[00:50:57]>> And it was actually a fun story. I mean, guy can be guy can be depending on how he's written a good read or just like ah slog through this. This is actually fun watching him and some of the other people he's interacting with uh good and bad and his and uh just his characterizations really well done. Big thumbs up with an okay on that one.

[00:51:20]>> Nice. Looking forward to it.

[00:51:22]>> Who's next? [clears throat] Tony >> quickly.

[00:51:26]Uh everybody's talked about Daredevil.

[00:51:28]I'll just continue to say Daredevil, good show.

[00:51:31]>> Mhm.

[00:51:31]>> I hope they figure it out one of these days. [laughter] >> Hopefully. Uh >> I, you know, I read the statistics on a certain mayor of New York in the comments.

[00:51:45]>> Oh, >> and he doesn't have superpowers, but he is the absolute peak of what an unsuppowered human being can be strengthwise.

[00:51:54]>> Yeah. Go.

[00:51:55]>> We see that. Go look up uh blue Belgian cow and you'll see basically [laughter] what Fisk is.

[00:52:04]It's this breed of cows that have this genetic uh marker or whatever that makes it so their body just doesn't stop producing muscle.

[00:52:11]>> Yeah.

[00:52:11]>> And it's crazy how big these cows get and they are just solid muscle.

[00:52:17]>> And I just say, you know, if you've ever been in in the unfortunate position of being in a fight with a big dude, just imagine that dude being the biggest >> Yeah. not superpowered guy there is. So, >> and trained.

[00:52:29]>> And trained. Yeah. Because he grew up in the mean street. Hell's kitchen. Ah. So, uh decided to do some homework before watching one movie. I decided to watch the movie that is not even related to except for the same screenwriter. So, we watched The Martian to start off our uh >> Andy Weir viewing session and marathon and then finished up with Project Hill Mary.

[00:52:49]>> Um great little movie. I have not read the book. So, I had that I'm I'm a little opposite. I think Rebecca was saying she likes to read the book before she watches the movie.

[00:52:58]>> I like to read the book after I watch the movie.

[00:53:00]>> I'm a little bit that too.

[00:53:02]>> Yeah. It's like I just want to see what they missed or what they took out and not be prejudiced by it. So, >> please for the love give Audible books or uh >> another chance.

[00:53:13]>> I'm going to read it like a human being.

[00:53:15]Dude, >> I'm a human and I read books by listening to that of the reader of >> Project Hail Mary is bar none one of the best >> award. He's an award-winning and that's fantastic for him and his family. I'm so happy for them.

[00:53:29]>> The way that they portray Rocky's musical speaking. You don't get that in the in the book book. You only get >> I have imagination where itself I don't care.

[00:53:40]>> It's I I I'll think about it.

[00:53:43]>> It's so good, dude. the the project the project Hail Mary like book conversation has convinced me that like or it has persuaded me to stop pushing because like when before the movie even came out I was like oh my god if you can listen to the audiobook the audiobook is so good and then the closer the movie got everybody was like you have to listen to the audio book and it became such a thing that um it's the same reason I don't talk to people about Star Wars anymore of like gh I just [laughter] I just cannot >> I'm trying to make up for the bad recommendation I made about Wheel of Time and trying to listen [laughter] to that because Michael Kramer at the time he recorded the Wheel of Time books when he was really young, he sounded weird.

[00:54:24]And it wasn't until like 10 15 years later his voice finished its maturing and now he sounds good. But >> right, >> I uh I may want to listen to the book in six months. Right now I feel like reading. So one of those things I go back and forth on it. So, I I generally am not a passive consumer of books, though. I like to be in there. I like to turn the whole world off. And if you bother me during that six hour period of time that I'm breathing, make peace with your gods. So, [laughter] I just It's sacred time. It's mine. Uh, Maul Shadow Lord. I We're going to talk about it a little bit more. Um, I'm I'm sure I'll get about three coherent words out before it devolves into madness. uh because my brain no worky good sometimes. But mall uh it's a new era for Disney animation, a new d a new era for Lucasfilm animation.

[00:55:19]>> And if you see the thumbnail for the afterparty, you'll see what I mean.

[00:55:22]Compare it to any still from any episode of Clone Wars or anything else that Lucasfilm animation has done. Uh just just really drastically changed things.

[00:55:30]And that's all I consumed this week.

[00:55:32]>> Oh, okay. There we go. Thank you, Tony.

[00:55:36]Uh, TV shows. Monarch season finale.

[00:55:39]Loving it.

[00:55:40]>> Loving it. Rooster season finale. I love Rooster. It's not as emotional as like uh Shrinking and things like that, but it is a lot of fun and it's really funny.

[00:55:50]>> Daredevil we talked about fantastic.

[00:55:52]Watching Hacks. So good. Uh movies we did. We watched uh Marty Supreme >> and it was really good. Um, also Timothy Chalamé has Hank Hillbutt. Um, >> he's got that flat [laughter] butt.

[00:56:12]>> There's a scene when he gets paddled by Kevin Oolir. He pulls his pants down. I was like, that's Hank Hillbutt.

[00:56:18][laughter] >> Got that white boy flat butt. Yeah, >> that's what you're walking away with is [laughter] he has Hank Hill butt.

[00:56:26]>> It left it left.

[00:56:27]>> All the thoughts about the movie. That's >> Tony. Tony in our chat was like, I don't think I like his character. And I'm like, "Yeah, you're not supposed to."

[00:56:35]>> Well, I didn't realize until you told me it was the same writer, director from Uncut Gems, which makes so much sense.

[00:56:40]>> They're spiritual cousins. Yeah.

[00:56:42]>> Yeah. And great movie, though. Super super fascinating uh character study on this on this person. I don't know how much of it is real because it's loosely based on on Marty, whatever his name is, the real guy. Bowser. Yeah, >> Mouser. So, anyway, highly recommend though. Marty Supreme was really good.

[00:57:01]And then uh last night we watched Send Help. Speaking of San Ramy stuff, >> the goat.

[00:57:07]>> Have you watched that yet, Lee?

[00:57:10]>> My screener hasn't arrived yet.

[00:57:11]>> Okay. Well, when it does, I think you'll like it. It's got the Sam Ramy horror, but also the whimsy.

[00:57:18]>> Mhm.

[00:57:19]>> Um he's the greatest of all time.

[00:57:22]>> Yeah. It's uh it it there's there's scenes that had me going, "Oh, and then there's scenes that just had me busting up laughing like scale from Crimewave to Dark Man, where would you put it in the Sam Ramy movies?

[00:57:34]>> Uh, probably closer to Dark Man for sure.

[00:57:36]>> Okay.

[00:57:37]>> Yeah. Like, uh, it's it's a lot of fun.

[00:57:40]Uh, we really enjoyed Send Help.

[00:57:42]>> Awesome.

[00:57:43]>> Um, but yeah, that's uh that's about it for me.

[00:57:46]>> That's good. Uh, I finally saw 28 Years Later, The Bone Temple.

[00:57:52]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:57:54]>> It took me a while, but I got to it.

[00:57:56]>> Yeah. My wife called it 28 whatever the bone daddy. And I was like I think that's a [laughter] different movie.

[00:58:03]>> Oh title. I like that title better.

[00:58:06]>> 28 Whatever the bone daddy.

[00:58:07]>> Yeah, it's this movie. It that's >> And she's And she's made me watch the one scene with the with the uh with this with the singing [laughter] along.

[00:58:15]>> I It was It was really It was Yeah. I [laughter] Ralph Finey's doing his experiments on the the infected trying to cure them and and uh yeah, it's it was I don't want to say too much because I don't want to give it away, but boy, it ends with a musical number that's just fabulous.

[00:58:37]>> Just stunning.

[00:58:40][laughter] >> That's all. Uh and then the other two shows I'm going to recommend are shows that have been cancelled.

[00:58:47]>> Oh, >> yeah. Uh, first of all, Stumble, which I've been talking about for quite a while now. It was cancelled, but I want you to find it and watch the entire season. You will laugh your ass off. Uh, just like Hank Hill. Um, also >> he's got no butt.

[00:59:03]>> Also, DMV, which was also cancelled.

[00:59:06]>> Oh, no.

[00:59:07]>> But the last half of that season, they finally got the show figured out >> and uh it it's started firing. Just terrific. Great performances, funny dialogue, all of that. So, I'm I'm encouraging you to watch two cancelled TV shows. [laughter] >> I'll put Chaos on there, too.

[00:59:25]>> Put Puta is so good.

[00:59:27]>> Good.

[00:59:28]>> It's the kiss of death for me, though.

[00:59:29]Anytime a series gets cancelled partway through my view of it, I just stop watching.

[00:59:35]>> That's kind of what I usually do, >> but uh the these were these were just saved on my DVR, and I, okay, let's go.

[00:59:42]Uh, also, uh, uh, yeah, Daredevil. We're going to talk about it in the afterparty, so you can join us there.
