1:07
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm here, you know, in five minutes, I'm just gonna put that out there, that's what I think I'm having.
1:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe that will happen.
1:14
[SPEAKER_02]: And the other thing about that though is like, why is he getting so confused so easily?
1:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I knew it though, when you started talking about changing the time on Sunday, I was like, this dude is going to think us changing the time for future recordings means today.
1:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
1:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
1:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that one.
1:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, maybe, maybe.
1:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, you know what, and I'm going to give them that, too.
1:35
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to give them that, too.
1:37
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, maybe you give them that, man.
1:38
[SPEAKER_02]: No, that's a cup out.
1:40
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
1:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it is, I don't know.
1:44
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a cop out.
1:45
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't need to be involved in this.
1:47
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what?
1:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no.
1:50
[SPEAKER_03]: OK. Don't pretend not to be covered that you just said.
1:54
[UNKNOWN]: No, no.
1:55
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I was just saying, like, you shouldn't, there should have been an excuse.
1:58
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a cop out.
1:59
[SPEAKER_02]: That being said, what a wonderful transition to the moon that we are reviewing today.
2:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And that, by no means, is a cop out.
2:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'm upset.
2:12
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
2:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Guns out, cop out.
2:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, let's start the show.
2:37
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all
3:08
[SPEAKER_03]: Like can I just say because you please comment on it, but can I just say this was still a point in the movie where I wasn't sure if I had seen it yet I just remembered it from the trailer and I was like, I think they did this extended knock knock thing in the trailer Like I think they did the whole bitch and then I went and I watched the trailer and the last 20 seconds of the trailer is this no no hell no
3:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
3:36
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
3:37
[SPEAKER_02]: The thing that's so funny about that bit is that one.
3:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, and by funny, I mean excruciating is that
3:46
[SPEAKER_02]: you know it's improv and also Bruce Willis is just waiting waiting for him to finally stop and then he does and then he goes who's there and then the other guy has to say and then the other guy says banana because the joke still wasn't complete and so then he's like oh yeah right I got to do this again I guess and I was like this is such a clearly unplanned bit
4:10
[SPEAKER_02]: That everyone fell in love with.
4:12
[SPEAKER_02]: That everyone on this production fell in love with.
4:17
[SPEAKER_02]: They were like, this is the funniest thing that has ever been filmed and put.
4:23
[SPEAKER_03]: inside of a movie.
4:24
[SPEAKER_03]: I am proud of them for letting that unhinged unplanned bit breathe.
4:31
[SPEAKER_03]: I am proud of them for that.
4:34
[SPEAKER_03]: The other thing you get from the trailer is they were letting Tracy Morgan improvise up a store.
4:40
[SPEAKER_03]: There's so many adlips in the trailer that are not in the mood like but like to a point where
4:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I mean, it's sure this happens all the time, but there are so many, like, I would say that a third of what he says in the trailer is not in the movie.
4:57
[SPEAKER_03]: That's wild.
4:58
[SPEAKER_03]: It's wild, even though you went and go.
5:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that was smart, because then it was like, you, you're, it's funny stuff in the trailer.
5:05
[SPEAKER_02]: It makes you want to see the movie and you see the movie.
5:07
[SPEAKER_02]: And then there's more funny stuff.
5:08
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not just repeating the same old jokes.
5:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
5:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
5:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, okay, before we get into all that, this is black when can't jump in Hollywood.

5:20
[SPEAKER_02]: We review the films of a leading black actors.
5:23
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
5:23
[SPEAKER_02]: They have to talk about them in the context of race and diversity in we talk Hollywood people of color people of color.
5:30

[SPEAKER_04]: We're talking about black people.
5:40
[SPEAKER_04]: to talk about black people Jimmy.
5:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Three of us, three of us host this podcast, one person decide not to show up.
5:48
[SPEAKER_03]: But the other person who is here, I said, if we can't do tomorrow, it would be much better from you to today.
5:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I said those exact words.
5:58
[SPEAKER_03]: I said those exact words.
6:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Truly, it was like, well, if we could just
6:09
[SPEAKER_02]: to accommodate.
6:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, uh, the person who was here right on time is Joe, John, right, fuck.
6:18
[SPEAKER_03]: And the person who was who was tardy, uh, but is here and who will be working on his crazy Morgan impression throughout the episode is James the third.
6:28
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
6:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And, um, boy, oh, boy, do we have a treat for you today?
6:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes people say, why did you guys review this film?
6:37
[SPEAKER_02]: And the answer is, I don't, there is no rhyme or reason sometimes.
6:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes we're just like, there's no new film out the leading black person.
6:45
[SPEAKER_02]: We're tired of doing these streaming movies that are fine.
6:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, we want to get back to the original mission of this podcast, which was,
6:56
[SPEAKER_02]: major motion pictures studios with wide theatrical releases because this is when you know these big companies and now there's only two of them no um okay there's more than that there's five there's these big companies like who are we gonna make as a lead of our who can sell out a movie theater who can get us our money back
7:19
[SPEAKER_02]: And when it comes to black people, it was a few.
7:21
[SPEAKER_02]: It was very few, few and far between.
7:24
[SPEAKER_02]: But occasionally, every once in a while, a new black star would rise and they'd be like, maybe this guy.
7:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And one of those stars was Tracy Morgan.
7:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's why we are reviewing the film, cop out.
7:37
[SPEAKER_02]: which came out in 2010.

9:19
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
9:19
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't look at these.

10:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think

10:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, it's a comedy.
10:46
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, it's not a huge comedy.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's not super.
10:50
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not like, super.
10:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, it's not like one of those, like, I don't know what kind of action comedy.

[SPEAKER_02]: How much audience though?
11:53
[SPEAKER_02]: It is more, it's at 39% Dale.
11:55
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm a, and I'm a, and I'm gonna say some, just a, just a spoiler alert.
12:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I think this is correct.
12:08
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, okay, let's do it initial thoughts.
12:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I would go ahead and say that.
12:17
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a big spoiler.
12:21
[SPEAKER_02]: We're moving right into it.
12:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's do it initial thoughts.
12:24
[SPEAKER_02]: So do you want to you want to go?
12:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I can start yeah, I'll start.
12:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I okay, so I was I mentioned that like I was watching this sort of unsure whether or not I had seen it
12:36
[SPEAKER_03]: The, and for the most part, I thought I hadn't seen it, but then stuff started to seem familiar, and I was like, like, guess it could be from the trailer.
12:43
[SPEAKER_03]: And for the most part, that I remember is from the trailer, but it's not until the stuff starts happening towards the end, I'm like, oh, but I remember this.
12:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I remember the nanny cam that's done the trailer.
12:55
[SPEAKER_03]: And so I guess I have seen this movie, but I gotta be honest, I had no memory of seeing it before watching.
13:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I like Tracy Morgan in this, I appreciate him as character.
13:12
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't like how this feels like it not not not not a full on parody, but like that like this movie was written.
13:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Like it's a copy of a copy of a copy of these.
13:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my god.
13:29
[SPEAKER_03]: These, of these, it's like, it's just like every beat is what you would expect that now he's on the street in a he's doing a swing I was like this is they're trying to do blue streak they're trying to do like it was just like yeah all of this just feels and and
13:45
[SPEAKER_03]: you know, like seeing that they had kind of a lot of the improv from the trailer, the movie kind of feels lopsided.
13:52
[SPEAKER_03]: There's like stuff where you're just sort of like, are here now, particularly in the beginning, where like, I imagine that they had like back and forth that made a little bit more sense, but they would be like, no, the beat should be like this.
14:05
[SPEAKER_03]: He should say something silly here or blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever.
14:07
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, like it, it just kind of
14:11
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a general issue with watching some of these cotton movies, including stuff like bad boys where, you know, we're seeing them like completely abusing their power.
14:20
[SPEAKER_03]: We see that we see them full on torture, Sean Willam Scott, Tracy at one point punches a child and in the dick, I think, and it's just like, I don't like this, like, and
14:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't even know if by 2010 we would have, we were still like, I mean, I guess uh, train by Martin was 2012 and so the kind of, we started getting, we started getting woke as a, as a wider populist shortly after this, but uh, but uh, I don't, you know, I don't know how I would have, how I felt back then, either, you know.
14:55
[SPEAKER_03]: But that, I mean, I guess that's my very general, very quick kind of initial thoughts.
15:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I did laugh.
15:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Like there were times that I was laughing, but it's like so goofy.
15:07
[SPEAKER_03]: It's such a goofy hokey movie.
15:08
[SPEAKER_03]: I texted you guys like, this is so silly, but even I have my limb.
15:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I love silly things.
15:13
[SPEAKER_03]: We remember my limb.
15:14
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, it just seemed, it just seemed too much.
15:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, totally.
15:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, oh, oh, give my initial thoughts.
15:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I think my initial thought was this is one of the worst movies.
15:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I've ever seen in my entire life.
15:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And then my kind of like my follow-up to that was I hate this movie.
15:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and I don't see that a lot.
15:40
[SPEAKER_03]: I do like,
15:41
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, our other colleague who didn't show up today is not what if he's not what if he's not okay, what he's in the hospital.
15:50
[SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna.
15:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
15:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I hope he is okay because he wants to say that's why we push.
15:54
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to say that to you.
15:55
[SPEAKER_03]: He was sick.
15:56
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why we push and maybe maybe some wrong praying for his well-being.
16:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I
16:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't say this a lot like Gerard does say like he'll he'll like he's like I don't like this.
16:06
[SPEAKER_02]: I hate this or whatever.
16:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I don't say that that often I truly do hate this movie because to me it kind of represents one of the things that makes me so sad um
16:34
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, obviously angry, it's just one of the worst things about Hollywood that, you know, this was written by two white, I think brothers, they're both last name or Colen Rob and Mark Colen.
16:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Their credits are not very vast.
16:51
[SPEAKER_02]: It seems like this is probably the most popular thing that they wrote for.
16:56
[SPEAKER_02]: They've written for some other television shows, including
17:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Mr. Robinson, which was a short lived Craig Robinson TV show that came out back a while back.
17:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and average Joe is Malcolm bear right, which is I think it's still on one of them wrote that right when that now is average show a reality show what is average?
17:21
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, I think it's like I think it's a it's a dread scripted, but I don't know.
17:28
[SPEAKER_03]: what it.
17:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I've just seen Malcolm posted about it and haven't seen it yet.
17:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Season two, either it's just now coming out or coming out.
17:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
17:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
17:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's see that the LTV show is lost Las Vegas.
17:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, a lot of TV.
17:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't see a lot of movies on here.
17:43
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, this I mean this didn't do that well, so And it was again one of the worst movies ever made So maybe that's why but like it's just like it's just one of these things where I'm just like how how did this how did this get made?
17:56
[SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy I make it made because
18:02
[SPEAKER_03]: This movie gets made because of the movies that exist before it.
18:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, people can't, this is going to be, this is going to be another one of those.
18:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, but this movie doesn't, this movie gets made.
18:15
[SPEAKER_02]: So this movie doesn't have any, okay.
18:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Here, and I've, I've said this a bunch.
18:20
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, with comedic films, like give me a comedic premise.
18:23
[SPEAKER_02]: This movie doesn't have that.
18:25
[SPEAKER_02]: like it's not like it's not like a okay here are two people from two different walks of life who are forced to work together it's not one of those right so throw out right 48 hours throughout Beverly Hills cop throughout rush out it's none of those
18:41
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not even like, okay, you're two partners, but one's crazy and the other one's trying to be straight lace like a lethal weapon.
18:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope, it's not that either.
18:53
[SPEAKER_02]: They're both insane in different ways, I guess, but they're both completely unhinged.
19:00
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't know why they're friends, like the movie doesn't really try to explain it at all.
19:06
[SPEAKER_02]: They're just both cops even though Tracy Morgan's character doesn't ever feel like a cop like ever.
19:13
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't try to make him feel like a cop.
19:15
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just Tracy Morgan who's has a badge and you're just like, again, how?
19:21
[SPEAKER_02]: The actual, like, plot, like the, let me just, this is the plot according to IMDB or the, the log line or whatever you want to say.
19:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Jimmy's rare baseball card is robbed.
19:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Since it's his only hope to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, he recruits his cop partner, Paul, to track down the robber, a memorabilia obsessed gangster.
19:45
[SPEAKER_03]: There is no way that the center, the plot of this movie on.
19:53
[SPEAKER_02]: But it, but I think that's correct though, cause that is the main plot point.
19:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that is, I literally was where I was watching this movie, I was like this movie's about a baseball card.
20:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but the baseball card felt like it always felt like an afterthought to me.
20:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Like in what?
20:08
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a plot device.
20:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's a plot device, but again, a plot device for what to channel, what?
20:15
[SPEAKER_02]: What are we channeling?
20:16
[SPEAKER_02]: There's nothing here, like, what is it, like,
20:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, no, but no, I'm sorry, let me, but, but, but brain, Bruce Willis is white and Tracy Morgan is black and so how it works is the black guy does bits.
20:35
[SPEAKER_03]: And the white guy, you know, might do a couple of things, but it's usually in reaction to just listen to the black guy doing bits doing bits.
20:46
[SPEAKER_03]: And so, and then this one they were like, they were like, you know what it'll also be fun is if there's also Sean Williams Scott.
21:03
[SPEAKER_03]: I just, I don't know, man.
21:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I just hit no in deep in my bones that black people are not allowed to get away with such and I don't even want to call it mediocrity because it's lower than that with just absolute
21:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and this is you it's carbon copy like this is what AI will eventually be able to write like AI is not good enough yet to write this But it I with all my heart do believe AI will eventually get to the point where it can write this movie Yeah, and Don't understand why
21:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, what friendships allow this movie to take place?
21:58
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, and I also made me go like, I was like, damn, like Kevin Smith must have been in a bad place financially at this point, to just be like, yeah, I'm gonna do this movie.
22:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, I don't know, you know, like, ah, there's some ingredient, depending on who's attached when, you know, there's some ingredients that might be enticing.
22:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's see, when did they add camp?
22:22
[SPEAKER_03]: When, let's see this production.
22:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Development, spec scripts.
22:27
[SPEAKER_03]: The spec script was called a couple of digs.
22:28
[SPEAKER_03]: It was on the black list.
22:31
[SPEAKER_03]: It was the most liked, unproduced, oh, no, the black list of, it's like I'm produce screenplays.
22:35
[SPEAKER_03]: No, that's not what this was.
22:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's see.
22:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you're looking out of the of how this movie came to be.
22:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, cop out originally, I had a spec script, a couple of Dicks.
22:49
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the first script that Kevin Smith directed without writing himself.
22:54
[SPEAKER_03]: So I mean, I don't know.
22:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg were originally attached, but then they made the other got, that's crazy.
23:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they left and made a much better film.
23:12
[SPEAKER_03]: A much better, a much better comedy with an actual with an actual comedic premise.
23:20
[SPEAKER_02]: The other guys has an actual comedic premise.
23:22
[SPEAKER_02]: It seems like if the title of original title of this movie was a couple of dicks, it seems as if this movie, original comedic premise was what if there were two cops
23:38
[SPEAKER_02]: jerks and it's like yeah this is such a 2010 movie right because now it's like well one that's not funny because a lot of cops are this way yeah for real and get away with horrible stuff that it's like not that's not funny yeah
23:57
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I didn't let's be cops when did let's be cops come out.
24:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Definitely came out late in 2014.
24:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I mean, but that's the similar.
24:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, 2014 sounds right except the except their thing is like, like their thing is like, where they, they're not cops, but let's just decide to be cops, right?
24:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they're like, let's play pretend being the cops and rise in the chat.
24:23
[SPEAKER_02]: What happened?
24:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess he got confused.
24:30
[SPEAKER_02]: He got confused by me saying, does 12 work 3 p.m. for you?
24:34
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, whatever.
24:38
[SPEAKER_02]: He's Luis, where do we even start?
24:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't believe we weren't going to get some sort of introduction to how these people came to be like literally the beginning of this movie is just them being like we're celebrating our ninth year anniversary, which I guess it was also supposed to be funny, but it just wasn't.
24:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, like that wasn't funny.
24:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Why do they think that was funny?
25:01
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
25:02
[SPEAKER_02]: It was kind of funny that he got him a anniversary car that just said, he's like, I can't wait to watch you open this and then later on, Bruce Willis doesn't open in front of him.
25:11
[SPEAKER_02]: The open's the car.
25:12
[SPEAKER_02]: It says happy anniversary and then he opens it.
25:14
[SPEAKER_03]: And instead of like, it says like, be for something sweety and he crosses out sweety and writes Jimmy.
25:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, yeah, I don't know, but wasn't it like there was like an action set set piece, right?
25:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, yeah, yeah, we're beginning on this movie is like a, wait, is it beginning this?
25:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wait, no, no, wait, hold on.
25:42
[SPEAKER_02]: What happened before?
25:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they do capture this guy and then question him.
25:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
25:49
[SPEAKER_03]: I truly, I don't remember how they, how they catch him.
25:53
[SPEAKER_03]: But there's, you know, but yes, but there's so many in the verse, it gives nothing.
25:57
[SPEAKER_03]: It's to show, but they do it so that they can show that that, uh, that they love each other, that they love each other, even though they're going to be dicks to each other, they love each other.
26:09
[SPEAKER_03]: They might be a couple of dicks, but they are also a couple of friends, okay?
26:13
[SPEAKER_03]: And so that's why this is in the movie here, so that we can know that they're friends.
26:17
[SPEAKER_02]: and also so we can know that they're bad cops, both in the sense of they are morally corrupt and in the sense that they are bad at their jobs.
26:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it plays in both ways, they're bad cops in both ways.
26:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, but then when he goes in to do this interrogation.
26:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
26:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I Can't with this scene.
26:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, because The I so they set up a spit that is for a movie long bit.
26:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's not okay.
26:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Go ahead explain.
26:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, but the but so
26:54
[SPEAKER_03]: Tracy Morgan always what they always want to play good cop bad cop, but Tracy Morgan can never play his part.
27:00
[SPEAKER_03]: He always just does lines from movies.
27:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, but he's like fourth line.
27:06
[SPEAKER_03]: The line starts first makes sense to like from like cop interrogation types scenarios.
27:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Then his fourth line is like from Star Wars and then it's immediately not second or lines immediately and I'm just like, this scene could have been funny.
27:23
[SPEAKER_03]: But instead it was nonsense, you know, like, like it was just saying what the movies are.
27:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I literally james as I was watching the scene.
27:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like if you did this scene, I'm not even kidding if you did this scene at UCB It would get mild laughs and then a coach after would be like hey, so
27:45
[SPEAKER_02]: So what was the game of that?
27:47
[SPEAKER_02]: The game of that was just you quoting movies and you saying what the movies are?
27:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Like come on guys, we can do better than that.
27:54
[SPEAKER_02]: We would tell people who are just starting out on comedy, who are improvising.
28:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's how you convert their head.
28:03
[SPEAKER_02]: But that scene that they just did improvising wasn't up to their state to the standards of the fear that this should be.
28:10
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a film.
28:12
[SPEAKER_02]: They wrote this and then filmed it, then edited it.
28:16
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is what they left in the movie.
28:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
28:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Ah, man.
28:22
[SPEAKER_03]: I could and then it made me mad and then it made me even more mad because he did the Star Wars thing and then at the end he goes these are not the drugs you're looking for again so he went back to Star Wars and I was just like well that how do you how do you run out of if your thing is just saying a line from any movie you can't go back to the well of Star Wars.
28:41
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm now just mad that you did Star Wars twice.
28:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I, okay, they do all of this.
28:50
[SPEAKER_02]: They find out where this guy, and they're like, then they like flip this guy.
28:53
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like, okay, I don't even remember how it worked.
28:56
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't even work anyway.
28:58
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think the idea is like, they're doing the drop today.
29:01
[SPEAKER_03]: So, let's,
29:04
[SPEAKER_03]: watch this drop happen so that we can get the the the the other guy get the guy that's doing the drop right and then and yeah I mean this is Tracy Morgan dressed as the cell phone flip it he's doing a cell phone bed he's flipping the thing around
29:22
[SPEAKER_03]: He's like talking about he's going to call his wife because, you know, nothing's happening in a blah, blah, blah, blah, but then this made me mad, okay?
29:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Because because this happens multiple times in this movie where Tracy Morgan is just not paying attention and something he's a bad guy because he's because he's not paying attention, okay?
29:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
29:41
[SPEAKER_03]: And so Bruce Willis says the line like,
29:44
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, the drop is happening, you know, as soon as you give you the signal, get him there as quick as possible.
29:49
[SPEAKER_03]: The informant gives the most obvious signal, anyone in the world has ever seen.
29:55
[SPEAKER_03]: It's so obvious that the drug dealer sees it.
29:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
30:00
[SPEAKER_03]: but so much time passes between him doing the signal and the drug dealer pulling out his gun and unloading on him that I can't believe Tracy Morgan didn't even try to get to him.
30:16
[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't even try to get to him.
30:18
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, don't understand why I don't understand how he missed this.
30:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Most movies when they set up stuff like this, they will do it so that the person who is distracted is the distracted for a funny reason that we can relate to.
30:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Not the case here.
30:38
[SPEAKER_02]: No!
30:40
[SPEAKER_03]: He's just he's not even calling his wife like it like his thing exactly hit the thing that he's worried about it's like oh my wife is potentially cheating on me or something and he doesn't even pull off the phone or he doesn't even do that he says he might do it
30:55
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just bad at his job.
30:58
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's not because he's new to the job.
31:00
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not because he's in a new place where he doesn't understand how they've been published this way.
31:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Nine years.
31:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Nine years.
31:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And partner for nine years.
31:08
[SPEAKER_02]: It's seemingly that he's taken from maybe detective.
31:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, what are we, what's happening?
31:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, so he's been a cop for a long time.
31:18
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just horrible at his job.
31:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
31:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
31:22
[SPEAKER_02]: How is that funny?
31:23
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's not.
31:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
31:26
[SPEAKER_02]: And so not only that, this dude who they just interrogated gets shot and killed.
31:33
[SPEAKER_02]: He's murdered.
31:34
[SPEAKER_02]: He's murdered.
31:35
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't care at all.
31:40
[SPEAKER_02]: appropriately gets suspended from their duties, they have to give in their guns and their badges, and they're like pissed at their boss because of this.
31:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it's not like bad boys, which by the way, is an action film and not like of comedy.
31:57
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like a comedy.
31:57
[SPEAKER_02]: It's an action first comedy second.
31:59
[SPEAKER_02]: This is supposed to be the other way around.
32:01
[SPEAKER_02]: But even that, at least they're like, they're like trying to catch the bad guys.
32:06
[SPEAKER_02]: The bad guys are shooting at them.
32:07
[SPEAKER_02]: They're shooting back.
32:08
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not like they're just bad at their jobs.
32:12
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, anyway.
32:14
[SPEAKER_02]: So then they get suspended, which causes financial stress, right?
32:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is insane.
32:23
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we.
32:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Michelle, Michelle,
32:32
[SPEAKER_02]: and it's like oh my god Michelle's in this oh my god didn't know that she's beautiful she's like she's she's she knows she's funny yeah she's she's handling the scenes what you know she's like it's like we're suddenly in a grounded
32:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Like suddenly an aground in movies.
32:50
[SPEAKER_02]: She's like little do we know she's going to be an all but five minutes of the movie No, it made me so mad It made me she's just Not in this film.
33:00
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just like what a waste of talent.
33:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay Meanwhile by the way Adam Brody and Kevin Pollock are also in this also just
33:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing.
33:12
[SPEAKER_03]: They tried to get a little bit of this try.
33:15
[SPEAKER_03]: They got my man's shoes.
33:17
[SPEAKER_03]: They had the kind of they were trying to give them the banter, the the the the same kind of banter between like the two cops in that boys.
33:25
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, like they're trying to do that.
33:27
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's like not really working.
33:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Doesn't really.
33:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Because we also don't quite understand why like one of the scenes that they do that I think is a funny idea.
33:39
[SPEAKER_03]: while they're berating them.
33:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Bruce Willis gets a call from Tracy Morgan, who's sitting right next to him.
33:46
[SPEAKER_03]: And then they both just roast while they're talking on the phone.
33:52
[SPEAKER_03]: And like that as an idea is funny, but the way it was like none of the the roast weren't funny, the reactions do it weren't funny.
34:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Ugh, I'm sad, sad and depressing.
34:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Jason Lee's in this, I like some of his comments too, but it was also like, yeah.
34:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I forgot that he's in this.
34:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
34:17
[SPEAKER_02]: the alien off sheet.
34:18
[SPEAKER_02]: We find out that like his daughter is getting married.
34:22
[SPEAKER_02]: His daughter wants a really expensive wedding.
34:24
[SPEAKER_02]: It's $48,000.
34:27
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, who?
34:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, boy.
34:30
[SPEAKER_02]: But of course, it's Bruce Willis.
34:31
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's not like, oh, boy.
34:32
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just staring.
34:35
[SPEAKER_02]: He just stares.
34:35
[SPEAKER_02]: And
34:40
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... what's the guy's name who plays the he's not that's it's not it's just like he's like i'll pay for it jasonly looks so different sometimes i always forget yes i mean he hasn't looked like this and so on like he hasn't that's it's like this
34:57
[SPEAKER_02]: He's in a few Adam Sandler releases, isn't he?
35:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Is he in like one, I can't recall right now if he's different.
35:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I'm just maybe it's just, I mean, obviously he's at a bunch of Kevin Smith movies, so.
35:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
35:13
[SPEAKER_02]: So he, he's like, we're supposed to not be on this guy side and yet this guy seems fine.
35:19
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact,
35:20
[SPEAKER_02]: The scene between him and Bruce Willis, where he's like, here's the reason you're a bad father.
35:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, yes, that all checks out to me, bro.
35:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Seems like you are bad.
35:29
[SPEAKER_02]: 100%.
35:31
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, you know, he just has pride.
35:34
[SPEAKER_02]: His pride is the reason he doesn't want Jason Lee to pay for it.
35:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, so why?
35:39
[SPEAKER_03]: But then I don't like, they were a deal.
35:41
[SPEAKER_03]: He's a dick about it.
35:42
[SPEAKER_03]: He's a dick about it.
35:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Why, cheated on him with, yeah, and he's a dick.
35:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, he starts to be dickish about it.
35:49
[SPEAKER_03]: But then also his wife cheated on him.
35:52
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't have to hit him.
35:53
[SPEAKER_03]: And so.
35:54
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's like, okay, all right, I don't like this guy for those reasons, but he is, but as a, but at this point in the movie to your point, he is correct, like it just, it's like he's been a cop for X number number of years, he hasn't been able to provide in these ways, I think he also even says later that like some of that stuff is true, like some of the, he did sort of drop the ball in some of these other ways, you know, so like, yeah, where I don't hate Jason Lee right now.
36:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the I think the thing about this that I like it was so clear and obvious to me was like and they still do, they still somewhat do this to this day, but it was just so it was just so blatant in the 80s early 2000s where it was like if a white male is the lead they like don't even
36:46
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like, yeah, of course you're gonna be on their side.
36:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, no matter what, like anything that they feel or think, like you're gonna be on their side.
36:54
[SPEAKER_02]: But just 100% why?
36:56
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just because they're white men.
36:57
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like we're supposed to be on Bruce Willis's side.
37:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Why?
37:01
[SPEAKER_02]: And then eventually they're like, okay, I guess we'll give like one thing of like, yeah, it's wife Cheetah.
37:05
[SPEAKER_02]: But even even that, I'm like reading it.
37:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just like, I don't believe that.
37:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't believe his wife Cheetah on him.
37:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't believe it.
37:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I bet something else happened.
37:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't believe she just cheated on you.
37:16
[SPEAKER_02]: But oh, you're the victim.
37:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you're just like, no, no, there's clearly a justification for why she did.
37:24
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a reason she stepped out.
37:26
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a reason there is a reason like he's if he's anything with her.
37:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he is with anyone else in his life.
37:33
[SPEAKER_03]: The way we've seen him behave with anybody else.
37:35
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a reason she bestep it out.
37:37
[SPEAKER_02]: So this whole bit.
37:40
[SPEAKER_02]: The Tracy Morgan and Rashida Jones bit is wild to me, so Rashida Jones.
37:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
37:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
37:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, Rashida Jones says, and she's criminally on not in it as well.
37:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, yes, just like, also 100%.
37:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Beautiful, funny, but barely in this movie.
38:03
[SPEAKER_02]: She barely gets to do bits.
38:04
[SPEAKER_02]: It's very unfortunate.
38:06
[SPEAKER_03]: And I mean, does she do any bits?
38:08
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, she has the one thing later with the,
38:14
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I guess she kind of has the like, hey, hey, Keith or whatever the neighbor, like she's kind of doing the like not flirting, you know, questionable flirting in the beginning, but even that they don't even make a pattern out of that to the point where it can be a bit.
38:31
[SPEAKER_03]: She just kind of maybe does it once.
38:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, exactly.
38:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Finally, speaking of Rashida Jones, did you see the trailer for the invite?
38:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, the invite.
38:43
[SPEAKER_03]: What was reminding?
38:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, she was, she's not in it, but she co-wrote it.
38:47
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the Olivia Wilde movie with Seth Rogan and Penelope Cruz.
38:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
38:56
[SPEAKER_03]: and door and got it kind of got it.
38:58
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the, yes, let me while movies have Seth Rogan penalty crews and it looks good.
39:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like kind of play.
39:04
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just like the four of them, right?
39:07
[SPEAKER_03]: All in the apartment, Rashida Jones.
39:09
[SPEAKER_03]: She was she wrote that.
39:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, along with Will McCormick, I think.
39:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, kind of like it's a dinner party, but then something goes wrong.
39:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly.
39:19
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, uh, it, what goes wrong?
39:22
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a little hidden, but it definitely looks like something's up, at least from the to trailer.
39:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, yeah, when does that come out?
39:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, it's, you could see it in limited cities now, but I think it's going wider over the next few weeks.
39:34
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just feel like, yeah, I want to see that in theater because you know, comedy, big audience.
39:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Like we really, we missed that.
39:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, it's been so long since I've seen a comedy in the theater.
39:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, right, yeah, cool, all right, Rashida, live here.
39:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Check out the invite.
39:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
39:56
[SPEAKER_02]: in this is great, except, but she's barely in it.
40:00
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a whole bit about Tracy Morgan wanting to, the thinking that she's cheating on him.
40:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And kind of right, like they're heavily impl... Like it doesn't make any sense.
40:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he finds like an empty bottle full empty bottle of champagne in the trash.
40:16
[SPEAKER_02]: in the washing machine is like lingerie, and she says she's drinking with him.
40:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Also in the laundry machine is her lingerie and bed sheets, and that's it.
40:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Which I was like, from when she, but from when she last wore it, you know, when's because she was trying to make sure that it was, no, I was tracking it.
40:40
[SPEAKER_03]: I was tracking it.
40:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm so happy.
40:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm so happy handed.
40:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
40:44
[SPEAKER_02]: No, sure.
40:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
40:46
[SPEAKER_02]: And the whole and our whole thing is supposed to be like, he is just good jealous for quote unquote no reason or like, he's just he needs to trust her, you know, right.
40:57
[SPEAKER_02]: But like also her not telling him like, yeah, our next or male neighbor came over the house last night and me and him shared a bottle of champagne and celebration of It's like that's you need to tell your husband that
41:16
[SPEAKER_02]: What's happening like you need to tell him that I don't it doesn't matter how innocent it was like you Not saying anything is weird and he has a right to feel so much suspicious Or at least ask a couple of questions 100% and that later on this bit is like played up like He finds a the Teddy Manicam thing puts it in the bedroom sees her Starting to have
41:45
[SPEAKER_02]: starting to have sex.
41:48
[SPEAKER_02]: And then later on, we find out that she knew that the Nanny came was there.
41:52
[SPEAKER_02]: And so she did that as a bit with, have we ever had Jordan on the pie?
41:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Because I was Jordan.
41:56
[SPEAKER_03]: We have, yeah, I'm that was Jordan.
41:58
[SPEAKER_03]: And we have Jordan on the pie.
41:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, at least I think so.
42:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Jordan, Carlos, funny bit.
42:04
[SPEAKER_02]: It was funny, but it also still didn't prove anything.
42:07
[SPEAKER_03]: It just proved she saw that.
42:09
[SPEAKER_03]: It definitely didn't prove anything.
42:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
42:14
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all.
42:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And again, what a weird thing to do.
42:17
[SPEAKER_02]: What a weird thing to do.
42:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me pretend to have sex with my cousin.
42:23
[SPEAKER_03]: No, let me have my cousin stand off to the side.
42:27
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, well, I'm in my lingerie.
42:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Had to add that he was gay.
42:30
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why that's why they added that he was gay.
42:33
[SPEAKER_02]: They added that he was gay.
42:35
[SPEAKER_02]: It's still weird, bro.
42:36
[SPEAKER_02]: It's still weird.
42:42
[SPEAKER_03]: your reaction to it being strange is why the character is gay in the first place.
42:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, I guess I will say this, like, if my gay male cousin was like, hey, I want to play this prank on my partner, what I'm going to do is I'm going to be in a bath group and then I'm going to strip down.
43:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to be wearing a song and then I'm going to get in the bed and then you
43:06
[SPEAKER_02]: You just with your back turn to the camera get on top of me.
43:09
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd be like no, no, thank you Listen and listen all of these things that were all of these various scenarios are Search histories and somebody's and somebody's And I'm personally everything one of these, okay, so I'm not I don't think you know I'm not it's not gonna be me, you know like I'm not doing this But I'm saying you know the writers were like yeah, he's and he's gay
43:36
[SPEAKER_02]: So, so we didn't get to the, we're gonna start speeding through this.
43:42
[SPEAKER_02]: This movie kicks off because he has to buy paper this wedding.
43:45
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, the only thing I could do, I have to sell this baseball card that I love.
43:49
[SPEAKER_02]: The card itself is worth $80,000, apparently, which is wild.
43:55
[SPEAKER_02]: So he goes to sell it.
43:57
[SPEAKER_02]: But while he's selling it, a big robbed by this.
44:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Stop, please get rocked.
44:04
[SPEAKER_02]: It's two people, I think, but whatever, Sean Williams Scott, who, in this movie is just a random crazy person.
44:14
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
44:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Can do parkour.
44:17
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
44:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Who can do parkour, and then establishes a bit where he just mimics somebody.
44:25
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
44:26
[SPEAKER_03]: and he does and he does knock knock jokes.
44:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
44:29
[SPEAKER_03]: This is what he does.
44:31
[SPEAKER_03]: He is a grown eight-year-old.
44:34
[SPEAKER_03]: That's who he is.
44:35
[SPEAKER_03]: A man child.
44:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
44:37
[SPEAKER_03]: And so they were like, this is a well for bits.
44:41
[SPEAKER_03]: And we're gonna...
44:43
[SPEAKER_02]: So we can do some bits this movie is such a great example of how horribly women were treated or I mean continue to be but like really like this is like so telling of like
45:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Both, yeah, both the director and the writers were like, women aren't funny.
45:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Because you have Michelle in this movie, you have Rashida Jones in this movie.
45:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Both of them are nothing.
45:14
[SPEAKER_02]: One's a daughter, one's a wife.
45:16
[SPEAKER_02]: They barely do anything.
45:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Sean Williams Scott, who's a character who robbed somebody, is in like this film, like he's like a third-build person.
45:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he is.
45:25
[SPEAKER_03]: So in the trailer, in the trailer.
45:28
[SPEAKER_02]: It's it's Tracy more it's Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan and Sean Williams, I don't know why I'm fisting him into this film like his character like he shouldn't like the character makes no sense like it shouldn't be in this movie.
45:43
[SPEAKER_02]: It does like the plot has nothing to do with him and yet he's in
45:47
[SPEAKER_02]: A third of the film.
45:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
45:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
45:49
[SPEAKER_03]: And then Penelope crew, when Penelope crew shows up, they're just like, and what wouldn't it be funny if they didn't understand each other?
45:56
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's all.
45:58
[SPEAKER_03]: That's all they can do.
46:00
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what to be great is if she said, Hi, a bunch.
46:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Jesus.
46:05
[SPEAKER_03]: That.
46:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, that was just like, oh, sorry.
46:08
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm getting, I'm, yeah, it's not going to help you.
46:10
[SPEAKER_03]: You can just fix that with, uh, I'm getting mixed up because we were just talking about her.
46:17
[SPEAKER_02]: But yes, that that woman's whole bit is just she doesn't speak English and they don't speak Spanish, which I'm just like guys even us like I don't speak Spanish, but do you know some things like the how little they knew that was so funny it was so funny that they were like she says hi, you know.
46:46
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, this was on Adele de la reguera from Not Sholibre army of the dead Cowboys and aliens making sure.
46:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, well, take that correctly Goodness gracious so
47:03
[SPEAKER_02]: And so yeah, his baseball card is stolen and somehow some way some coincidental lucky way, the baseball card is stolen and his winds up given to the guy who was the person they were trying to catch at the beginning.
47:17
[SPEAKER_02]: And they get they unknowingly get caught right back into the same case that they were pursuing when they got suspended.
47:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing that follows, and I don't like a sense.
47:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't think that there's enough like oversight, you know, when it comes to them investigating this and like, you know, like sure we get that Kevin Pollock and and Adam Brody think that they.
47:47
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, like, state, they find the gun and so they think that's something's up.
47:51
[SPEAKER_03]: But like, that's like, sort of it.
47:53
[SPEAKER_03]: And it would feel like in any other movie, it would be like, you better not be on that case.
47:57
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, like, there would just be more.
47:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
48:00
[SPEAKER_03]: There would be more scenes like that.
48:01
[SPEAKER_03]: And I just don't understand why there were.
48:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm strange to me.
48:06
[SPEAKER_02]: The plot of this movie is so lazy.
48:08
[SPEAKER_02]: It's truly the late like nothing's really happening and like even whether going from thing to thing.
48:14
[SPEAKER_02]: I was just kind of like why are they even what is going on?
48:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Like even like them trying to capture some way and Scott like that whole thing was just ridiculous like also I just the comedy
48:32
[SPEAKER_03]: agonizing that's the just a gentle reminder that the like second extended bit in the movie is the squoting
48:42
[SPEAKER_03]: They were like, we are, this is what you're in over.
48:45
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the ride you're about to be on, you know?
48:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Then we get like that long knock knock joke improv and stop repeating me, stop repeating me.
48:56
[SPEAKER_03]: So, now I will say, I love how Sean Williams got does this, he's so good at, like he's a game for it.
49:05
[SPEAKER_03]: So good at that.
49:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Why are we watching it is what I'm trying to figure out?
49:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Why are we watching it?
49:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, nothing's, here's the other thing.
49:16
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is how you know this movie is just so poorly written.
49:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Because we barely know who these characters are, so little of the comedy is motivated by the situation or by our understanding of these characters, right?
49:30
[SPEAKER_02]: To me, that's what makes
49:32
[SPEAKER_02]: movies that are really like funny, like really funny.
49:35
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, yes, you have fun clever jokes, but you're putting that on top of our understanding of who these people are and how they would react in certain situations.
49:43
[SPEAKER_03]: And this movie, what does the other thing that we understand is if you make Tracy Morgan to look out, he is not going to do that.
49:54
[SPEAKER_03]: And then the other thing we understand is that Bruce Willis is white, and he's Morgan is black and so well not only that, but Bruce Willis just can't be bothered like his character can't be bothered because he's white.
50:11
[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't get angry right doesn't get emotional because that's his partner that's his partner so he's not going to he's tolerating this but he's but he can't be bothered he sure can't and you know what's going to happen?
50:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Tracy Morgan going bother him.
50:25
[SPEAKER_03]: He's going bother him.
50:27
[SPEAKER_03]: He's going bother him.
50:28
[SPEAKER_03]: He's going to be robocop and expect us to believe that that's you honestly playing a
50:41
[SPEAKER_02]: We're supposed to leave that.
50:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel bad for this actor, but the Popeye villain was like, he, this man always plays this part.
50:51
[SPEAKER_03]: I think virtually every time I have seen Guillermo Diaz, he plays this part, this poor guy, man.
51:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, but yeah, I mean, it looks like he has a storied career, so there's times I haven't seen of them, because I mean, that character every time I've seen him.
51:10
[SPEAKER_02]: It was so, it was like not scary.
51:13
[SPEAKER_02]: It was not interesting.
51:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And just, I just was like, I don't even know why we care about this person.
51:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
51:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Why, why, why him?
51:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Why him?
51:22
[SPEAKER_02]: We get nothing.
51:23
[SPEAKER_02]: So a bunch of stuff happens where they're just like, they're like, oh, they gotta get the car.
51:30
[SPEAKER_02]: The car actually has a woman in it, but the woman actually has a flash drive.
51:34
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like, they keep just passing along the buck
51:38
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, what the plot device is, like, none of it's interesting, no, it's not really building to anything.
51:45
[SPEAKER_02]: And again, like the only reason they're doing this, because he needs money to pay for his daughter's wedding.
51:51
[SPEAKER_02]: So the motivation, the stakes are very low.
51:54
[SPEAKER_02]: And because the whole thing that's happening with Rashida Jones has, has nothing to do with the plot of the movie.
51:59
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just a distraction, like a built-in distraction for,
52:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Tracy Morgan to to constantly be bad at his job, and yet he's already bad at his job without this distraction.
52:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's not, he's not even at work.
52:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's not in there, he's not in there, he hasn't been at work for most of the movie.
52:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and there's not like there's nobody else in danger or really that we need it.
52:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Like there's some some other deeper conspiracy that's happening.
52:28
[SPEAKER_02]: But like, we don't really care about that and it's not affecting it.
52:31
[SPEAKER_03]: There was a point once the once once we revealed that, and it may be this evening should have started happening earlier for me, but once we revealed that in the trunk was a woman that that he clearly wanted to kill and they're in danger, the movie started screaming at me that there were these characters that we do care about, that are involved in these men's lives, but they were never threatened once, like it was never.
52:56
[SPEAKER_03]: like it was never like oh we have to save we have to save my daughter or even like not even that they needed to be damsels like can y'all please get out of town because you know the drug lord the drug lord is now we're now actively involved with it like there was never
53:12
[SPEAKER_03]: any regard for that.
53:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And again, the motivation of Beverly Hills cop is that his friend is murdered and he wants to find out who did it, right?
53:23
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we just watched the wrecking crew, like the motivation of that was like, hey, our father was murdered.
53:31
[SPEAKER_02]: and then they try to kill me, let's figure out what's going on.
53:34
[SPEAKER_02]: The motivation of this is my daughter is has an expensive wedding that will be paid for, but I don't want to let that guy pay for it.
53:47
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm gonna sell this baseball card that then gets stolen.
53:50
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, what?
53:52
[SPEAKER_02]: And again, it's not even if it wasn't an innovation.
53:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, even if it was that, they don't even, we don't get to see him be poor.
54:02
[SPEAKER_03]: We just get to see him not have the money for his daughter's wedding.
54:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Like if we could have seen him being poor, like like, he gets fired from the job or whatever.
54:11
[SPEAKER_03]: He gets suspended, but it's like, no, put me back in.
54:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, fine.
54:14
[SPEAKER_03]: This is, they literally do this in the other guys, but fine, you have one more chain, you know, like it could have, it couldn't have even been that like, but they don't, it's just let's get, let's get this baseball card back instead of like it having a bigger effect, it could have had an effect on the movie in other ways, but it just had an effect on the movie, like I want to be able to pay for the for the wedding and this is how I'm going to do it, you know, because you can like we all people, we all relate to being, all of us poor is relate to being poor.
54:43
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what it's like to be poor for all those poors know what it's like to be so let's show poor This movie is not really about him being poor really.
54:52
[SPEAKER_02]: It's it then it's isn't it's a pride and ego thing Yeah, but not in a funny way like the other guys where they're like hey, we're the other guys, but man It would be so cool to be like stars Any right, and not believe they left this movie to do that.
55:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean I understand why they're career like
55:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I understand why this is why they're them right and Tracy Morgan unfortunately did not get to have a budding movie.
55:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's right.
55:21
[SPEAKER_02]: So the end of this is they they wind up saving Kevin Pollock and Ed.
55:29
[SPEAKER_02]: whatever.
55:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I kept thinking Kevin Pollock was going to be dirty somehow or something.
55:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, I kept thinking there was going to be some kind of twins there.
55:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Literally there's no interesting twists in this movie, like not a single one.
55:41
[SPEAKER_02]: And then also like they stayed.
55:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so they saved the day they captured the bad guy.
55:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, what's certain Gabrielle kisses Tracy Morgan, even though he's married and we understand that this wife didn't cheat on him.
55:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, not only is it as far as we know that one was not cheating on, yeah, it's I don't quite get it.
56:01
[SPEAKER_02]: It's really bizarre because she kisses him on the mouth.
56:04
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not like a kiss on the cheek or whatever.
56:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I was just like, what was that about?
56:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Why did we see that?
56:08
[SPEAKER_02]: But then his card gets shot, like, economically shot right through the face of the card.
56:13
[SPEAKER_02]: So that shot.
56:14
[SPEAKER_03]: I like the shot of of Tracy Morgan's head in the head of the go.
56:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that was that was a good good for them for that.
56:26
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I mean, and why do you get it?
56:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you came out with one cool cinematic moment.
56:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.
56:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And then and so he does have to let this other guy pay for his wedding.
56:38
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the wife's like, hey, because he paid for it,
56:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Now this made me mad.
56:43
[SPEAKER_03]: This made me mad.
56:44
[SPEAKER_03]: Both could have given us this, this made me mad.
56:46
[SPEAKER_03]: You're right.
56:47
[SPEAKER_03]: This made me so mad.
56:49
[SPEAKER_03]: I understand that he paid for it, but he ain't giving my daughter away.
56:51
[SPEAKER_03]: That's my dog.
56:52
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a dog.
56:53
[SPEAKER_03]: He paid for this.
56:54
[SPEAKER_03]: He paid for this party.
56:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Cool.
56:56
[SPEAKER_03]: That's my, I was so mad.
56:58
[SPEAKER_03]: I was so sad.
57:01
[SPEAKER_02]: That was messed up.
57:02
[SPEAKER_02]: That he even asked for that.
57:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And then that the wife tried to make him do it.
57:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And then
57:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Tracy, uh, just and I know what she cheated on him with the you cheat on me with this man and now he's the one it's good I was ready to do it my my partner shot my baseball card.
57:18
[SPEAKER_03]: I had the money.
57:19
[SPEAKER_03]: I had the money three days ago.
57:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I had the money.
57:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man.
57:22
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what it made me so.
57:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, oh, it made me mad.
57:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
57:26
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.
57:27
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
57:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to yell for a little bit.
57:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And then yeah, then they have this extra post credit scene with Sean Williams Scott and he's repeating everything that the mortician, the more, more, more, more, more trey worker, however you say.
57:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, he get in the bag.
57:48
[SPEAKER_03]: And they go to the bag, whatever they put him in the bag.
57:51
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just a joke, it's just a joke.
57:54
[SPEAKER_03]: They put him in the bag, but what's a name wasn't that in scene played the partition or name, she said everything, no, I don't know.
58:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Sarah birds, she was funny.
58:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they shouldn't get to do nothing because she was just in the last two seconds, but yeah, unfortunately, she was a woman in this comedy and they, they, uh,
58:24
[SPEAKER_02]: They're very decidedly, we're like, no, nothing, funny for women.
58:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Fred, Fred, Armistice, that was a funny beat.
58:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, no, unfortunately, Bridesmaids hadn't come out yet.
58:34
[SPEAKER_03]: And before Bridesmaids, women were considered funny.
58:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Jesus, this movie freaking.
58:41
[SPEAKER_03]: This is what the truth is.
58:42
[SPEAKER_03]: This is really what it's true.
58:44
[SPEAKER_03]: That Bridesmaids is what is what made more women movies get made or do they start happening the Tina Fey years, which would have been shortly before this.
58:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you know what I mean?
58:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, yeah, like, baby, like, I mean, like, what do we, because like, mean girls is super funny.
58:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, baby, baby is mom looking for this, right?
59:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Baby mama.
59:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's what we do this the same year.
59:04
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the scene of fake years, you know what I'm saying?
59:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Because like, I'm trying to figure out, like, I feel like now, if this movie were made now, somebody would have been like, the women aren't doing anything.
59:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Correct.
59:16
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, but I'm, but I'm trying to figure out like, what is what's the turning point in I mean, that made people start doing that.
59:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody knowing understanding about the back-dilled test.
59:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I think was a bit.
59:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
59:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
59:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know when that, when that kind of really really took the lexicon.
59:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
59:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
59:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
59:38
[SPEAKER_02]: but it was, it was a thing where people were like pointed it out.
59:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's similar with the, it's similar with black actors, or it's like, you know, it was like black actors had a,
59:47
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, this glory period in the 90s, but then it went away in the 2000s and then at a certain point everybody's like, what the hell is going on?
59:55
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're like, oh, yeah, I guess we're not thinking about it.
59:57
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like, no, you are, actually you kind of are thinking about it, you're just doing it either subconsciously or consciously and pretending like you're doing it subconsciously.
1:00:05
[SPEAKER_02]: But yes, it's just, it's so blatant in this film that they were not writing
1:00:14
[SPEAKER_02]: like every bro like also a lot of these roles could have also been women but they're just like bad and then like again to get to get actors actresses that we know and then not and then still not give them anything funny felt like it just felt so egregious especially considering this movie is not good yeah and makes no sense so you get forced people in anything yeah go ahead
1:00:42
[SPEAKER_03]: are doing an ingram starts rising in 2008 most most hits 2018 the phrase bacterial test.
1:00:54
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, so right around this time, you know, it's what it starts.
1:00:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, start it.
1:00:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, people starts.
1:01:00
[SPEAKER_03]: It's right.
1:01:02
[UNKNOWN]: It's made.
1:01:04
[SPEAKER_03]: It's made.
1:01:04
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a good case for
1:01:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Really.
1:01:16
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, well, anything else to talk about?
1:01:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I think that's it.
1:01:19
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, I don't think so.
1:01:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's time for the cause.
1:01:23
[SPEAKER_02]: It we read films.
1:01:24
[SPEAKER_02]: No, based on how much it helps the cause of leading black actors in Hollywood.
1:01:33
[SPEAKER_02]: So you said, you made money.
1:01:35
[SPEAKER_02]: That costs $55 million.
1:01:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I think, yeah.
1:01:39
[SPEAKER_02]: 30 million dollar budget.
1:01:41
[SPEAKER_02]: So if it helps the cause of leading black actors, fully we give it a black fist.
1:01:46
[SPEAKER_02]: If it's somewhat helps the cause, we give it a white palm.
1:01:48
[SPEAKER_02]: If it doesn't help the cause at all, we don't give it anything.
1:01:52
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
1:01:53
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
1:01:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Count of three.
1:01:55
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to raise our ratings for
1:02:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Why you can't, no, no, no.
1:02:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, all right.
1:02:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me go to my palm.
1:02:18
[SPEAKER_03]: It was okay to my palms.
1:02:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I gave this a white palm.
1:02:22
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if I have given any other Buddy cop movies like this white palm a black black fist like I might have given blue streak a black fist But I did I was thinking about this the entire time watching this movie.
1:02:35
[SPEAKER_03]: I gave Beverly Hills cop a palm the reason I gave it a palm is because it
1:02:42
[SPEAKER_03]: it like led to there being like a stereotype in how you or like a very like clear pattern and how you write movies like this.
1:02:50
[SPEAKER_03]: And this movie is why I gave Beverly Hills Gop like this movie exactly is the reason that I gave Beverly Hills Gop a white palm.
1:02:59
[SPEAKER_03]: And so I could I was struggling because I was like you know it's rare that Tracy Morgan's leading a movie.
1:03:05
[SPEAKER_03]: And so like I did struggle with that aspect of it and it did make a little bit of money.
1:03:11
[SPEAKER_03]: but I don't know, man, like it just feels like it was just like he's black, he's insane, you know?
1:03:18
[SPEAKER_03]: And I just, I really don't, I don't like that as a what it means for film at large.
1:03:25
[SPEAKER_03]: So, right.
1:03:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I give it a light pump because
1:03:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it helped Tracy Morgan want to, you know, he's, you know, does that that and then, but like he, I think it was just like, they were like, ah, never mind.
1:03:38
[SPEAKER_02]: He can't, he can't really leave films.
1:03:41
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, I don't think it helped him help to continue, though, they did put him in the movie and it's just another example of a black lead.
1:03:49
[SPEAKER_02]: So it can't really give it nothing, but I do think it's, it's like, and there's like a part of me that's like, yeah, how much credit does this movie get for?
1:03:58
[SPEAKER_02]: just another duplication of the white cop black cop thing.
1:04:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
1:04:04
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I don't know, not a lot, right?
1:04:08
[SPEAKER_02]: But I can't give it nothing.
1:04:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
1:04:10
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's, I don't know.
1:04:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, like it made some money.
1:04:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
1:04:14
[SPEAKER_03]: This movie is still in Tracy Morgan's known for.
1:04:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, it's it's I think it's like, wow, kind of the only movie that he's an actual lead.
1:04:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, oh, yeah, like the other the other one that the closest is no actually not even I was going to say the death out of funeral that came out that year, but no, but no, Martin, Chris.
1:04:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Martin Lawrence and Chris rocker and then I think they're all right.
1:04:39
[SPEAKER_03]: They're the main.
1:04:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but he has a it's a it's an okay part.
1:04:42
[SPEAKER_03]: He has a sensible lead.
1:04:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he has a he is sizable parts and other films.
1:04:48
[SPEAKER_02]: But again, he's mostly.
1:04:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, it's a better character.
