- 1:21Speaker 1: For Ella christ All right, welcome back to Cuff's Basement.
- 1:30Speaker 1: I am the King of the pod, Tim, and I'm
- 1:35Speaker 1: here with my beloved court jester Ryan McDonald. How are
- 1:39Speaker 1: you doing?
- 1:39Speaker 3: Ryan? Come chuggling?
- 1:41Speaker 1: Hey?
- 1:42Speaker 3: Everyone? How are you? For the first episode?
- 1:47Speaker 1: And today is a very special episode. It is Andy
- 1:51Speaker 1: Juno's super Bowl. This is the highlight of his entire year.
- 1:55Speaker 1: It's it's dozens of possibly dozens of people listening to
- 1:59Speaker 1: his opinions on movies. So to discuss the twenty twenty
- 2:03Speaker 1: five year in review, we have a special guest, Andy Juno.
- 2:06Speaker 4: Hi, Andy, Thanks Tim. All I ever wanted to do
- 2:09Speaker 4: in life is talk people at the movies that you
- 2:11Speaker 4: will watch.
- 2:11Speaker 1: So this is my moment you should start a podcast.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:17Speaker 1: I have a bit of a cold, so forgive me
- 2:20Speaker 1: if I cough or go on mute. And also I
- 2:24Speaker 1: have to leave the heat on for this episode, which
- 2:26Speaker 1: I normally turn the heat off because it's very loud
- 2:28Speaker 1: when it turns on. But it's uh, it was like
- 2:30Speaker 1: with windshill negative fifteen today and we're about to get
- 2:34Speaker 1: a massive blizzard. So yeah, not a great time of
- 2:38Speaker 1: year in Massachusetts or wherever we live. I don't want
- 2:42Speaker 1: to give up. I don't want to dos myself for
- 2:44Speaker 1: the psychotic fans out there, unless they're a female. But
- 2:50Speaker 1: we're here to talk about the Year of our Lord
- 2:53Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. And because I think you two are
- 2:58Speaker 1: going to talk incessantly about movies and I'm just gonna
- 3:00Speaker 1: take a back seat and begrudgingly listen, I thought we
- 3:04Speaker 1: should discuss television first. And we each made a list
- 3:09Speaker 1: of our top five TV shows of the year, which, well,
- 3:16Speaker 1: we're gonna go in order, So we're gonna start with worst,
- 3:18Speaker 1: well not worst, you know, worse of the best. It
- 3:20Speaker 1: will be number five. So what order should we going?
- 3:23Speaker 1: Should Andy be first because he's our guest, Because I
- 3:25Speaker 1: will tell you right now. When I was going through
- 3:28Speaker 1: on my TV list, I actually decided I only have four.
- 3:35Speaker 1: We do have honorable mentions, though I forgot about that.
- 3:37Speaker 1: I already forgot about honorable my least favorite part of
- 3:39Speaker 1: part of the pod, honorable mentions. I have two quick
- 3:43Speaker 1: honorable mentions before we get going, Win or Lose, which
- 3:46Speaker 1: is the Pixar television show. Do either of you watch that?
- 3:49Speaker 4: No.
- 3:50Speaker 1: So Pixar made their first, to my knowledge, television show ever.
- 3:54Speaker 1: It was called Winner Lose. It's on Disney Plus and
- 3:57Speaker 1: it was about a like a Little League game, but
- 3:59Speaker 1: each episode is from a different person's perspective who's a
- 4:03Speaker 1: part of the game, so like there's a couple of players.
- 4:06Speaker 1: There was an umpire. I think the coach was one episode,
- 4:11Speaker 1: so I just thought it was It was cute. I
- 4:13Speaker 1: enjoyed watching it with CC. Pixtar is always pretty good,
- 4:16Speaker 1: so Win or Lose. And then my last honorable mention
- 4:21Speaker 1: that maybe we can go into a little bit is
- 4:24Speaker 1: I know Ryan hasn't seen it. Andy, did you watch
- 4:26Speaker 1: Heated Rivalry?
- 4:28Speaker 4: No, not yet, but it's on the list.
- 4:30Speaker 1: I watched Heated Rivalry with my wife. We blasted it
- 4:33Speaker 1: out no pun intended, in two days. It's only six episodes.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Each episode is an hour.
- 4:40Speaker 3: Nice.
- 4:41Speaker 1: It is not that good, like it's it's obviously one
- 4:45Speaker 1: of those things. Like I said, Crazy Rich Asians Asians
- 4:48Speaker 1: was a terrible movie, because there's been like a hundred
- 4:50Speaker 1: movies about that. Like the exact same plot of Crazy
- 4:53Speaker 1: Rich Asians has existed one hundred times, but with white people,
- 4:57Speaker 1: So like, what is so special about crazy Rich Asians.
- 4:59Speaker 1: But I underst stand the point of this is this
- 5:02Speaker 1: is special because there aren't movies about this cliched story
- 5:06Speaker 1: with Asian people. It's always white people. So I get that,
- 5:09Speaker 1: but I think in a vacuum, Crazy Rich Asians was
- 5:11Speaker 1: not a good movie at all. I kind of feel
- 5:13Speaker 1: that way about Heated Rivalry. It's just like two guys
- 5:17Speaker 1: hooking up the whole time. It's like a very erotic,
- 5:20Speaker 1: very sexual Andy Cohen said, it's not really graphic. It's
- 5:24Speaker 1: just that American audiences are not used to seeing gay
- 5:26Speaker 1: sex in film or television, and that's why people think
- 5:30Speaker 1: it's graphic. That's one hundred percent not true. Like it's
- 5:33Speaker 1: one of the most graphic, overtly sexual shows I've ever seen.
- 5:36Speaker 1: They just don't show penis because it's really hard, Like
- 5:40Speaker 1: you can't show an erect penis period on television, and
- 5:44Speaker 1: they're not gonna show the sex sex these guys are performing.
- 5:47Speaker 1: But it's some of like the most graphic oral sex
- 5:51Speaker 1: anal sex scenes I've ever seen in my life, but
- 5:54Speaker 1: they don't happen to show penis, So it is it's
- 5:58Speaker 1: a sexy, good time. It was fine. I enjoyed it.
- 6:02Speaker 1: It was a wild ride, but I wouldn't go out
- 6:05Speaker 1: anywhere to see it. It's my opinion.
- 6:07Speaker 5: I saw a great clip on Instagram of I think
- 6:09Speaker 5: it's a whole Instagram account of.
- 6:10Speaker 4: These guys who act out scenes from heated rivalry in public.
- 6:13Speaker 5: So they just stand like across a parking lot and
- 6:15Speaker 5: shout lines back and forth at each other, and there's
- 6:18Speaker 5: and they show like that. You know, it's like almost
- 6:19Speaker 5: like a Tom Green sketch where there's like someone putting
- 6:22Speaker 5: stuff in their car and they like stop to listen
- 6:23Speaker 5: to this conversation that the matter having to say, really
- 6:26Speaker 5: graphic like sexual conversation in the middle of a parking lot.
- 6:28Speaker 4: It's really funny.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Yeah, So, I mean it's very like much of the
- 6:31Speaker 1: moment in the Zeitgeist.
- 6:33Speaker 4: Tim what is the premise?
- 6:34Speaker 3: There?
- 6:34Speaker 4: Are they junior hockey players and they NHL like is no.
- 6:37Speaker 1: They're Well, that's one thing that I love about this.
- 6:39Speaker 1: So this, this woman who wrote this is a novel,
- 6:43Speaker 1: and this woman only writes gay erotic hockey novels. She's
- 6:48Speaker 1: written like twenty five gay erotic hockey. Yes, only hockey,
- 6:54Speaker 1: And they don't they believe it or not Andy, they
- 6:57Speaker 1: didn't get an NHL license for this show, but I know,
- 7:01Speaker 1: but no, he always loose with that. The the two,
- 7:06Speaker 1: the two, you're right, the two main characters. One plays
- 7:09Speaker 1: for the Bruins and one plays for the Canadians, but
- 7:13Speaker 1: they're just not called the Bruins in the Canadians, but
- 7:15Speaker 1: it's obviously the Bruins in the Canadians and what like.
- 7:18Speaker 1: One of the reasons is because like the bottom of
- 7:21Speaker 1: the couple he was he's very like he seems very
- 7:27Speaker 1: introverted and awkward and not sure of himself, but is
- 7:29Speaker 1: also simultaneously like the best player in the NHL and
- 7:33Speaker 1: he wins MVP during one of the seasons of the show.
- 7:35Speaker 1: And I just didn't buy that. But the guy who
- 7:39Speaker 1: plays the Russian player that plays for the Bruins, I
- 7:41Speaker 1: did enjoy him. I thought he was he was kind
- 7:44Speaker 1: of great. And Shannon, immediately we started watching the show,
- 7:47Speaker 1: she goes, how do like, how do get guys know
- 7:49Speaker 1: who top and whose bottom is? And I go, the
- 7:51Speaker 1: guy on the Canadians is one hundred going to be
- 7:53Speaker 1: the bottom? And I was correct. It's just vibes and
- 7:56Speaker 1: you can figure it out pretty pretty quickly. So yeah,
- 8:01Speaker 1: those are my only two honorable mentions. I don't know, Andy,
- 8:04Speaker 1: do you want to start with your televisionable?
- 8:07Speaker 5: I just have two because one of mine I think
- 8:09Speaker 5: is on Ryan's list. One honorable mention was Mistress. It
- 8:12Speaker 5: was a mini series just about art sor Sez and
- 8:17Speaker 5: it was done by Rebecca Miller, who is Arthur Miller's daughter,
- 8:20Speaker 5: I believe, and she's married to Daniel Lewis, and uh,
- 8:24Speaker 5: it's just I just you know, covers his whole film career.
- 8:27Speaker 5: Is just it's it's him. It's it's an interview with
- 8:30Speaker 5: him and then you know, discussing his films. It was
- 8:33Speaker 5: fantastic that was on was that Apple right?
- 8:36Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah.
- 8:37Speaker 1: And then but just just to stop for a second,
- 8:39Speaker 1: imagine being married to Daniel de Lewis, what like, what
- 8:42Speaker 1: would that be like? I just thought, what would that
- 8:44Speaker 1: be like? And then I the next thought was it
- 8:46Speaker 1: would just be phantom thread is what I'm like imagining.
- 8:49Speaker 6: So if he was the hardest person to get to
- 8:51Speaker 6: do interviews with and it was her own husband, yeah.
- 8:56Speaker 5: Yeah, anyone else does documentary and they don't get him right,
- 9:01Speaker 5: So yeah, so that that was a big part of that.
- 9:04Speaker 5: But yeah, it was fantastic, and the only the only
- 9:07Speaker 5: other honorable mention that I have is well, yeah, the
- 9:11Speaker 5: only other honorablention I have is is uh mister Beast Games.
- 9:13Speaker 4: It's Amazon.
- 9:16Speaker 5: Like reality show and Charlotte loves it, and it's it's
- 9:20Speaker 5: like this sick social experiment where like he just taunts
- 9:24Speaker 5: people with money and it's it's it's the worst of society,
- 9:27Speaker 5: but it's it's really entertaining. We're watching seasons two right now,
- 9:29Speaker 5: and there's all kinds of like horrible like off the
- 9:33Speaker 5: set problems after the show was made, like a law
- 9:35Speaker 5: suits and you know, assaults and things like that.
- 9:36Speaker 1: And yeah, I do you know the concept him? Yeah,
- 9:40Speaker 1: I was very disappointed. You picture that you you chose
- 9:43Speaker 1: this because it's just completely evil. But I did see, well,
- 9:46Speaker 1: I did see one episode where the premise was you
- 9:49Speaker 1: have to stay buried alive for twenty four hours and
- 9:51Speaker 1: you can ring a bell whenever you want to come out,
- 9:54Speaker 1: but if you're a second before twenty four hours elapses,
- 9:58Speaker 1: you don't win any money. So you have to just
- 10:01Speaker 1: like you have no concept of time when you're in
- 10:02Speaker 1: that scenario and you have there was a yeah, go ahead.
- 10:06Speaker 5: There was a moment in the first season where I
- 10:07Speaker 5: think there was like ten people left and they put
- 10:09Speaker 5: them all in like their own room, and they told them,
- 10:12Speaker 5: we put a million dollars outside this room and we're
- 10:14Speaker 5: gonna let you out one by one and you could
- 10:16Speaker 5: take as much money as you think you should take.
- 10:18Speaker 5: And the first person came out and took a hundred grand,
- 10:20Speaker 5: and the second person came out and took like a
- 10:21Speaker 5: hundred grand, and then I think the third person maybe
- 10:24Speaker 5: they took like fifty or something, and they said, you know,
- 10:26Speaker 5: I'm playing for the big long game, and I want
- 10:27Speaker 5: some other people to share the money.
- 10:28Speaker 4: And then the fourth guy took like.
- 10:30Speaker 5: Six hundred and thirty grand and he left like he
- 10:33Speaker 5: left like I don't know, six thousand bucks or something,
- 10:36Speaker 5: and then and then he so then like the fifth
- 10:38Speaker 5: person come out thinking they're gonna get a hundred and
- 10:40Speaker 5: there's no money for them, and it was pretty it's
- 10:42Speaker 5: pretty dark, like the show there's some you see.
- 10:44Speaker 4: The worst in society, and it was.
- 10:47Speaker 5: I don't have a lot of shows that I watch
- 10:48Speaker 5: this year, but it was on my honorable mentions because
- 10:49Speaker 5: we're watching it now in the second season, and it
- 10:51Speaker 5: made me think a bit.
- 10:53Speaker 4: Yeah, mister Best not a great guy, just just a
- 10:57Speaker 4: just a rich a hole.
- 10:58Speaker 1: I don't know a ton about mister v but what
- 11:00Speaker 1: everything I do know, I hate him. And I also
- 11:03Speaker 1: don't understand why he's popular at all.
- 11:06Speaker 5: Well, because he's because he's like neutral, right, so he's
- 11:08Speaker 5: not he's not really mean spirited, right, he doesn't say
- 11:13Speaker 5: edgy things. He's very right down the middle. He he
- 11:17Speaker 5: plays like a bumbling kind of dummy a little bit,
- 11:20Speaker 5: and he just gives stuff away and can seat that
- 11:22Speaker 5: stuff up on YouTube. So that influencer life. That's half
- 11:26Speaker 5: the people on the show, and I'm sure are there
- 11:27Speaker 5: because they're also influencers.
- 11:29Speaker 1: And yeah, I think maybe rock bottom for society is
- 11:32Speaker 1: when like food started being like influencer based, when mister
- 11:36Speaker 1: Beast Candy and Logan Paul, like Gatorade started coming out Prime.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I refuse to ever buy a Prime And yeah, it's
- 11:45Speaker 1: just yeah, we're we're, we're doomed.
- 11:47Speaker 5: But anyway, yeah, actually didn't, I didn't know. I think
- 11:49Speaker 5: I've never seen anything about mister Beats before this show.
- 11:51Speaker 5: And Charlotte wanted to watch the show, so we kind
- 11:53Speaker 5: of got into it last year.
- 11:54Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, all right, that was it for your
- 11:59Speaker 1: honorable mentions?
- 12:00Speaker 4: That is it?
- 12:01Speaker 5: Because yes, I'm to two plugs from well when we're
- 12:04Speaker 5: gonna talk about Karen has been watching only Murders in
- 12:07Speaker 5: the building. She raised about that show and for the
- 12:11Speaker 5: kids start out like the show called the Thunderments, which
- 12:12Speaker 5: is a family that is their superheroes.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you're really. Andy's usually a bit much with
- 12:21Speaker 1: honorable mentions from movies, and then Ryan's usually a bit
- 12:24Speaker 1: much honorable mentions for television shows because he watches every
- 12:27Speaker 1: single half hour comedy on television somehow. But Ryan, what
- 12:31Speaker 1: are your honorable mentions?
- 12:33Speaker 3: So are you? You forgot to exclude this?
- 12:35Speaker 6: But I also had mister scorse easy on my honorable
- 12:37Speaker 6: mentions as well.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Sorry I didn't. I didn't exclude anything that was also
- 12:42Speaker 1: an honorable mention. I only excluded something if it appeared
- 12:45Speaker 1: on somebody else's list.
- 12:46Speaker 3: Got you, got you? My bad, Sorry to call you out.
- 12:49Speaker 4: For the listeners.
- 12:49Speaker 5: There was there was a there was a few rules
- 12:51Speaker 5: hands it out before this this podcast.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Well you just for for those that don't don't know this,
- 13:00Speaker 1: you two don't know each other's lists, and we go
- 13:03Speaker 1: in order of like your list and I don't want
- 13:05Speaker 1: I like surprises. So if Andy was, if Ryan's number
- 13:09Speaker 1: one show was I don't know how I met your
- 13:13Speaker 1: mother him yan uh No, sorry, Young Sheldon. If Ryan's
- 13:17Speaker 1: favorite show was Young was number one was Young Sheldon,
- 13:20Speaker 1: and Andy added as an honorable mention. I would tell Andy,
- 13:24Speaker 1: don't do an honorable mention of Young Sheldon because we're
- 13:26Speaker 1: going to talk about it later.
- 13:28Speaker 3: Yeah, you didn't have Monster's reboot on yours, did you? Well?
- 13:32Speaker 1: Is that actually out yet?
- 13:35Speaker 3: No? I just I'm just why saying it will now exist.
- 13:38Speaker 1: But no, it wasn't Rob Zombie like actually gonna do
- 13:40Speaker 1: a mongst Monster's Rebus. It's good. That's good.
- 13:46Speaker 6: So mister was great. Really liked it a lot, bizarrely personal,
- 13:50Speaker 6: really good. So I agree with Andy, that was a
- 13:51Speaker 6: great one to watch. My Andy Kelly Award for half
- 13:54Speaker 6: an hour Comedy goes to Platonic with Seth Rogan and
- 13:59Speaker 6: Rose Byrne. Just I think this is the second season
- 14:01Speaker 6: that came out. But I really liked this show. I
- 14:03Speaker 6: love them together. They're really good. That's my alible mention,
- 14:08Speaker 6: that's what I have.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Yeah, Wow, I'm really proud of you, Ryan, and you'll
- 14:14Speaker 1: also have this list. Well, sorry to get sitth again.
- 14:17Speaker 3: I said you had this list, but yeah.
- 14:18Speaker 1: But I didn't remember. I don't memorize all your honorable mentions.
- 14:21Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I.
- 14:24Speaker 5: Thought of another one. I thought of a show that
- 14:25Speaker 5: definitely would have been on my list that I left out.
- 14:27Speaker 5: I don't think it's on Ryan's severance.
- 14:29Speaker 4: Oh right, you love Yeah, fantastic.
- 14:32Speaker 1: I really like it. I was trying to watch it
- 14:35Speaker 1: with Shannon, and of course she bailed, so I never
- 14:38Speaker 1: finished it. But yeah, so okay. You also, I have
- 14:43Speaker 1: to apologize because not only is the heat on and
- 14:46Speaker 1: the little robot on, but also CC's still awake, so
- 14:48Speaker 1: it's very, very loud and will be for probably another
- 14:51Speaker 1: twenty minutes or so. But for number five, my favorite
- 14:56Speaker 1: show of the year didn't have one. I only had
- 14:58Speaker 1: four because I couldn't really you couldn't really think of
- 15:01Speaker 1: a fifth or one that was like I really felt
- 15:02Speaker 1: passionate about. So you can skip me and Andy, what
- 15:10Speaker 1: is your number five?
- 15:11Speaker 5: Another five is another Apple show. I just realized I
- 15:13Speaker 5: have a ton of Apple on my list, and it
- 15:15Speaker 5: is Silo. It's a sci fi dystopian show about these
- 15:21Speaker 5: folks who live in a large silo under the ground,
- 15:25Speaker 5: and they they think they're being protected.
- 15:27Speaker 4: That's why they're there.
- 15:28Speaker 5: They've been told they've grown up in this silo and
- 15:31Speaker 5: the world had some sort of event that they don't
- 15:32Speaker 5: really know about. They just know they can't leave the
- 15:34Speaker 5: silo and they've created this world inside. And it's really
- 15:36Speaker 5: creatively shot and the set design is beautiful. It's Rebecca
- 15:40Speaker 5: Ferguson is the mainly, she's absolutely fantastic.
- 15:45Speaker 7: And is in it.
- 15:45Speaker 4: Tim Robbins plays kind of a bad guy.
- 15:47Speaker 5: He's like one of the leaders of the society and
- 15:49Speaker 5: the silo. Rashida Jones is in it a little bit,
- 15:52Speaker 5: maybe just the first season. I think it's in It
- 15:54Speaker 5: just finished its second season, but really dark, gloomy like
- 16:00Speaker 5: set and a lot of a lot of like questioning
- 16:04Speaker 5: the government and why we're there, and it's it's it's
- 16:07Speaker 5: an interesting study. It reminds me a little bit of
- 16:10Speaker 5: Uh Dog Tooths like the Yurogo's film, where the folks
- 16:12Speaker 5: only know one way because they've told so they have
- 16:14Speaker 5: kind of like warped sense of what goes on in
- 16:16Speaker 5: the world outside of the silo. And steve's On is
- 16:20Speaker 5: in it is really great, and yeah, yeah, I really
- 16:24Speaker 5: love the show.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Ryan. Did you watch this?
- 16:26Speaker 3: I have not. I've heard it's great, though, I.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Have never even heard of this, So I guess my
- 16:31Speaker 1: head is in the sand for this year they're doing.
- 16:34Speaker 5: It's based on a novel, and they're doing a or
- 16:37Speaker 5: a series of novels, I think, and they're doing a
- 16:40Speaker 5: they're shooting the third and fourth season right now.
- 16:41Speaker 3: I believe it's a weird Apple thing.
- 16:45Speaker 6: I think it's very odd, Like some of the Apple
- 16:46Speaker 6: Show is like explode, like Severns, and then they're just
- 16:49Speaker 6: like other ones that have been on for five seasons
- 16:50Speaker 6: that you've never seen or heard about before.
- 16:52Speaker 5: Well, my my number one, my number one show on
- 16:55Speaker 5: the list that we're going to talk about is an
- 16:57Speaker 5: Apple show. And I was I want to show hearing
- 17:00Speaker 5: like a scene from it, and I went to Apple
- 17:02Speaker 5: and it wasn't in the top ten shows and it
- 17:04Speaker 5: won all kinds of awards, and like they're just burying
- 17:07Speaker 5: it's the algorithm of all these streaming services.
- 17:09Speaker 4: But yeah, it's really poor. It's really poor.
- 17:12Speaker 5: It's just whatever the financial goals are the programming.
- 17:18Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's the problem with streaming. It's why ATV too.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Yeah. I can't disagree with you there, but okay, that
- 17:26Speaker 1: sounds good. That is kind of the plot of what's
- 17:29Speaker 1: it called The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt as they were all
- 17:32Speaker 1: in a bunker but because they were told that like
- 17:34Speaker 1: the world had ended and then they were like one
- 17:36Speaker 1: day released since she returns to normal life. The Uh yeah, yeah,
- 17:45Speaker 1: that was a good show. I liked it was It
- 17:46Speaker 1: was in that like wheelhouse of when The Office and
- 17:49Speaker 1: thirty Rock and Parks and rec were like the best
- 17:52Speaker 1: half hour comedies on television. There were sort of these like.
- 17:55Speaker 4: It's the admin from from Office.
- 17:58Speaker 1: Right from the Office. Yeah, I think it's awesome. Who
- 18:03Speaker 1: she's the secretary after sorry, the admin after Pam. So yeah, anyways, it.
- 18:09Speaker 3: Was a Netflix show too, right, I believe so?
- 18:12Speaker 1: Or no, I don't remember? All right? Uh shag guy Raye,
- 18:18Speaker 1: you're I'm a fan of this show, but I've not
- 18:20Speaker 1: seen seen this season. Your number five is is.
- 18:25Speaker 3: The Righteous Gemstone season four? This is the finale season.
- 18:31Speaker 6: This show has always been fucking amazing, but the season
- 18:34Speaker 6: was really great.
- 18:36Speaker 3: Eli going off the Grid.
- 18:38Speaker 6: Sean William Scott shows up as a family friend and
- 18:40Speaker 6: it's just completely insane. He is so fucking good, it's unreal.
- 18:47Speaker 6: The finale of this show is absolutely insane. This I
- 18:52Speaker 6: truly was like an aghast moment of the finale in
- 18:55Speaker 6: this show. I ay couldn't believe what was happening when
- 18:57Speaker 6: I was seeing it. It was fucking nuts. It was
- 18:59Speaker 6: so good.
- 19:00Speaker 1: This this show is is completely insane. And what's the
- 19:03Speaker 1: sister's name, Judy, Judy. The hardest I've laughed at a
- 19:08Speaker 1: show in years, in years is when she's just describing
- 19:13Speaker 1: to BJ her I think then fiance, her first boyfriend
- 19:18Speaker 1: and her first The description of her quote unquote first
- 19:22Speaker 1: boyfriend is her basically raping her college professor, and her
- 19:27Speaker 1: telling the story, I was like, I couldn't breathe. I
- 19:29Speaker 1: was laughing so hard. She also kidnapped herself. Yeah, she
- 19:33Speaker 1: kidnapped his son and like brought him to the beach
- 19:36Speaker 1: and she's describing what they did. And then she goes
- 19:39Speaker 1: and I told him everything about me and.
- 19:42Speaker 5: Might be the gross She might be the grossest character
- 19:44Speaker 5: on TV. Like every everything that comes out of her mouth,
- 19:47Speaker 5: it surprises me. Like she'll tell BJHJ, you're getting me slick. Yeah,
- 19:55Speaker 5: is this season where you got hurt in the yeah,
- 19:58Speaker 5: the yeah when this Brandon that was mad that I
- 20:04Speaker 5: left this off my list and I saw that you
- 20:05Speaker 5: had it when Tim told me not to mention it,
- 20:08Speaker 5: I I forgot about this show.
- 20:11Speaker 6: It's like the weirdest thing, but like it's goodhead, Tim, No, I.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Was just you were saying, like everything she says is
- 20:17Speaker 1: so crass. She was describing how attracted she was to
- 20:21Speaker 1: her college professor, and she said that the first day
- 20:23Speaker 1: of class was like a quote lightning bolt through my
- 20:26Speaker 1: slit because how she described it.
- 20:32Speaker 6: Eli John Goodman, who's the father of the family, is
- 20:35Speaker 6: dating one of his widow's friends who like helped her musically.
- 20:41Speaker 6: He's played by Megan Malalley and the family is threatened
- 20:44Speaker 6: by their relationship, and when Judy approaches her, that scene
- 20:47Speaker 6: in her room.
- 20:48Speaker 3: Is absolutely amazing.
- 20:49Speaker 6: Judy is just like talking unfucking bearably and she tries
- 20:52Speaker 6: to punch her in the face. It's fucking amazing, and
- 20:54Speaker 6: Megan her up.
- 20:58Speaker 5: Judy's trying to get Meghan Mallalley to assault and she's like, oh,
- 21:01Speaker 5: you're telling the whole time.
- 21:03Speaker 4: It's unreal.
- 21:04Speaker 6: It's unreal but so great, And I really hope they
- 21:08Speaker 6: may come back, but I think this is a really
- 21:10Speaker 6: good ending for it.
- 21:11Speaker 5: The people that roll through that show are pretty good too.
- 21:12Speaker 5: Eric Andre pops out for a while and he's insane.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Steves on another the second Steve Zon mentioned on this pod,
- 21:21Speaker 1: Danny McBride is obviously amazing. Everybody in this show is great.
- 21:26Speaker 1: It's completely insane. So yeah, I really need to watch
- 21:29Speaker 1: the rest of the series.
- 21:30Speaker 3: And Keith might be the greatest television character of all time.
- 21:33Speaker 4: Yes, yes, he feels it feels like he's.
- 21:36Speaker 3: Not acting a real person. Yeah, mm hmm.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Absolutely, And you can usually tell that like right away, like, well,
- 21:44Speaker 1: well a movie I saw today, Marty Supreme, you could
- 21:48Speaker 1: there's so many like this is a non actor, like
- 21:51Speaker 1: because there's there's certain people that would only exist in
- 21:54Speaker 1: a certain place, and it's like these are just weirdos
- 21:57Speaker 1: the director found in New York City because they're just
- 22:00Speaker 1: they're so clearly they would never be in any other role,
- 22:04Speaker 1: like they're not a marketable presence, you know what I mean. Anyways, So, okay, great, awesome,
- 22:13Speaker 1: All right, back to me with my number four, right,
- 22:17Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that, Yeah, I'll say this is number four.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Four and three were kind of a toss up the
- 22:24Speaker 1: triumphant return of King of the Hill. I heard King
- 22:27Speaker 1: of the Hill was coming back and had been off
- 22:29Speaker 1: the air. I'm a huge King of the Hill fan.
- 22:32Speaker 1: It's massively underrated show that's not remembered as fondly as
- 22:37Speaker 1: like Family Guy in the Simpsons, but it's it's just
- 22:42Speaker 1: so excellent, so grounded. It's like the most grounded, realistic
- 22:45Speaker 1: animated series ever. But when I heard it was coming back,
- 22:48Speaker 1: I was really worried. I was like, I don't like that,
- 22:51Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a time jump, so Bobby's going
- 22:53Speaker 1: to be an adult and Hank and Peg you're gonna
- 22:55Speaker 1: be older. So I was like, this is just not
- 22:56Speaker 1: gonna be handled well. The last couple of seasons of
- 22:59Speaker 1: King of the Hill, Judge wasn't super involved and they
- 23:01Speaker 1: were like really bad, and it was great. I thought
- 23:06Speaker 1: that the handling of Bobby as an adult, the handling
- 23:09Speaker 1: of like Hank in twenty twenty five, I thought it
- 23:12Speaker 1: was fantastic and so glad it's back, and so glad
- 23:17Speaker 1: it's back in a great way. Ryan, I know you
- 23:19Speaker 1: were a big fan.
- 23:20Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm When you texted about this, I was like, shit,
- 23:23Speaker 6: I completely forgot this. This was so good. I loved
- 23:27Speaker 6: how this was like very Bobby centric an interesting way. Yes,
- 23:31Speaker 6: really really good.
- 23:32Speaker 3: I'm so glad.
- 23:32Speaker 6: Also, it wasn't like a season to wrap up the
- 23:36Speaker 6: whole show. It was just like this is the next season. Yeah,
- 23:39Speaker 6: And it was kind of like they didn't like create
- 23:41Speaker 6: an ending for it because I guess they're going on
- 23:42Speaker 6: for two more seasons now, which I'm really excited about,
- 23:45Speaker 6: because they made it really interesting where the characters are
- 23:49Speaker 6: and where they go and how they've caught up. The
- 23:51Speaker 6: episode of making Beer was just great. There was so
- 23:55Speaker 6: much good stuff in this. I absolutely love this.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Yeah, and Bobby becoming like a very successful chef, because
- 24:02Speaker 1: I think it would be tempting with a character like
- 24:04Speaker 1: Bobby to make him kind of a loser as an adult.
- 24:07Speaker 1: But I would not respect that and like wouldn't want
- 24:09Speaker 1: that at all. And he was realistically Bobby. He wasn't
- 24:14Speaker 1: like a total badass because that wouldn't make any sense. Remember, Ryan,
- 24:19Speaker 1: and I sent you an AI photo of like, oh
- 24:20Speaker 1: did you see Bobby and he's just a bodybuilder, Like
- 24:23Speaker 1: it made no sense, But I thought it was like
- 24:26Speaker 1: it was a great realistic way of making Bobby authentic
- 24:30Speaker 1: to himself as a child but also like a good
- 24:33Speaker 1: successful adult. Andy, did you sorry?
- 24:37Speaker 3: Go ahead? Ryan? No please?
- 24:39Speaker 1: I was just to say, Andy, did you watch Old
- 24:40Speaker 1: King of the Hill? And did you watch New King
- 24:42Speaker 1: of the Hill.
- 24:43Speaker 5: No, I've never seen a single episode of it, so
- 24:44Speaker 5: obviously it's stupid.
- 24:46Speaker 4: You know much exactly?
- 24:48Speaker 1: Totally amen, Ryan.
- 24:49Speaker 3: Weically the today's episode is brought to you by Beastables.
- 24:52Speaker 3: Mister hey man, you're listening.
- 24:56Speaker 1: If you want to write a check, I take back
- 24:58Speaker 1: everything I said about you.
- 25:00Speaker 4: Yeah, it takes money in the game show.
- 25:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 25:07Speaker 1: But the only thing that the only disappointment I had
- 25:10Speaker 1: is my favorite character in Keny of the Hill is
- 25:12Speaker 1: Dale and Johnny Hardwick, the voice of Dale, died during
- 25:17Speaker 1: season one, and the real life voice died in real life.
- 25:20Speaker 1: But I was like, obviously, I don't want Johnny Hardwick
- 25:23Speaker 1: to die, like I don't want anybody to die. But
- 25:25Speaker 1: he was awful in the show. I don't know if
- 25:27Speaker 1: he had like a health issue, but his voice sounded
- 25:30Speaker 1: really weird and bad, and like the Dale storylines, it
- 25:34Speaker 1: just felt like it just felt like it wasn't Dale
- 25:36Speaker 1: to me, and they are actually continuing with Dale, he's
- 25:40Speaker 1: going to be in the show and they're replacing him
- 25:42Speaker 1: with a new voice, and I actually think that will
- 25:44Speaker 1: be better. Again, don't want Johnny Hardwick to die. That
- 25:47Speaker 1: wasn't not what I'm saying, but uh, I think that
- 25:50Speaker 1: somebody like mimicking Dale's old voice would be better than
- 25:54Speaker 1: Johnny Hardwick was in this new season.
- 25:57Speaker 3: And I think the guy they got, Toby Huss is
- 25:59Speaker 3: a pick.
- 26:02Speaker 4: He does the Yes.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Yes.
- 26:05Speaker 1: He plays weird El's dad in the weird Al movie
- 26:08Speaker 1: with what's his name? Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe.
- 26:14Speaker 4: He also plays the guy selling the guy selling fake
- 26:17Speaker 4: id's on Vegas vacation.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Yeahs Seinfeld, he's the whiz and Seinfeld.
- 26:24Speaker 6: He's already from Pete and Pete. Strongest man in the world.
- 26:27Speaker 6: He's been around for a while.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, well a long time.
- 26:31Speaker 6: But yeah, this was great. I'm so glad that you
- 26:33Speaker 6: said this. I don't know why I forgot about this.
- 26:35Speaker 6: This was so good.
- 26:37Speaker 1: Yeah, it really was.
- 26:38Speaker 3: It was.
- 26:38Speaker 1: It was solid, But all right, Andy, What is your number? Four?
- 26:43Speaker 5: And Number four is another mini series Death by Lightning.
- 26:46Speaker 5: It is a based on the book Destiny of the Republic.
- 26:50Speaker 5: It is about it sounds like a weird topic, but
- 26:52Speaker 5: it's about President Garfield and the man who killed him.
- 26:56Speaker 4: And so Michael Shannon plays President Garfield.
- 26:59Speaker 5: And the guy from Secession and Ripper Street.
- 27:03Speaker 3: McFadden Matthew mcfad.
- 27:05Speaker 5: Matthew McFadden plays the presion wer killed him, which his
- 27:08Speaker 5: name was Charles.
- 27:09Speaker 4: Boutreaux, and it's a hurricane. Nick Goffman plays Chapter Arthur, like.
- 27:14Speaker 5: The bumbling vice president who becomes president and it's all
- 27:18Speaker 5: about backstabbing, and Shane Wigham is one of the party
- 27:21Speaker 5: leaders who who kind of orchestrates this election, and it's
- 27:25Speaker 5: about a kind of a pretty crazy time in the
- 27:27Speaker 5: White House. And the thing that struck me watching it
- 27:30Speaker 5: was how like acceptable all these people were at the time,
- 27:34Speaker 5: like in eighteen I don't even know what year it was,
- 27:36Speaker 5: but so he's the twentieth president.
- 27:39Speaker 4: I'm not even sure what year that was, but.
- 27:43Speaker 5: You could just walk up to the White House and
- 27:45Speaker 5: ask for a meeting with the president. There was like
- 27:47Speaker 5: a line every morning, and that's this guy got access
- 27:49Speaker 5: to the president. It was about a person who thought
- 27:51Speaker 5: the president was his friend and he obviously had some
- 27:54Speaker 5: sort of psychosis and it gradually just kept getting access
- 27:58Speaker 5: to him and he shot him in broad daylight. And
- 28:03Speaker 5: it's it's well acted, incredibly past who did I say,
- 28:07Speaker 5: Shaye Wigham, Bradley Whitford, isn't it as well?
- 28:10Speaker 4: He's fantastic.
- 28:12Speaker 1: I mean Michael, Michael Shannon and Tom from Succession, Like
- 28:16Speaker 1: those two alone would make it worth watching. I really
- 28:18Speaker 1: wanted to watch this. I thought it looked awesome, but
- 28:20Speaker 1: I didn't have time.
- 28:22Speaker 5: Yeah, it's super short. It's like four episodes or something
- 28:25Speaker 5: for forty five minutes.
- 28:26Speaker 3: Yeah, so good.
- 28:28Speaker 6: That was that you had told me about it, and
- 28:29Speaker 6: I was like, why isn't like more shows like this
- 28:33Speaker 6: were like just like four of this could have been
- 28:36Speaker 6: spread out to an entire like eight episode or ten
- 28:38Speaker 6: episode thing. They just had four and it was just
- 28:40Speaker 6: he the entire time.
- 28:41Speaker 4: It's directed.
- 28:42Speaker 5: So the people behind it are the It's the Game
- 28:44Speaker 5: of Thrones guy Benny Off, he's producer, but the director
- 28:48Speaker 5: is Matt Ross, who is I don't know if you've
- 28:51Speaker 5: seen Big Love, but he's Albae from Big Love and
- 28:54Speaker 5: he's Gavin Belson from Oh Yeah, Yeah yeah.
- 29:00Speaker 4: And so he's fantastic.
- 29:01Speaker 5: He's directed to other stuff as well, but but he
- 29:04Speaker 5: directed all four of these fantastic and tested shows.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Ryan, I did want to watch that, so I saw
- 29:13Speaker 1: trailer and I was like, this looks awesome. But anyways, Ryan,
- 29:16Speaker 1: you're number four. I won't spoil it, but I was
- 29:18Speaker 1: reading one of the best shows of this year and
- 29:21Speaker 1: there was a lot of stuff I'd never heard of.
- 29:22Speaker 1: So I was reading the descriptions and this is one
- 29:24Speaker 1: of the things I flagged where I was like, oh,
- 29:26Speaker 1: this sounds awesome, but I did not watch a moment
- 29:30Speaker 1: of it. What is your number four? Ryan?
- 29:32Speaker 6: It's Common Side Effects. This is on HBO Max. It
- 29:36Speaker 6: is the creators behind Scavenger's Rain and Mike Judge. It's
- 29:42Speaker 6: about I think he is like a mycologist who discovers
- 29:47Speaker 6: this type of mushroom that can essentially heal any ailment
- 29:53Speaker 6: you have and also physical injury. And it's about how
- 29:57Speaker 6: one sous is exposed to farmer companies in the US
- 30:01Speaker 6: the control to either smother it or expose it.
- 30:04Speaker 3: It's an animated show.
- 30:07Speaker 6: Really well done, really great paranoia. Some insanely crazy scenes
- 30:14Speaker 6: when people do take the mushroom or people inbibe the mushroom,
- 30:19Speaker 6: but really incredible characters. Main character Marshals really good. Also
- 30:25Speaker 6: the female lead, she's great. Who works for the pharmacy.
- 30:28Speaker 6: I'm sorry it works for the Farmer company. But just
- 30:31Speaker 6: a great cast. Great show coming back for a second season,
- 30:34Speaker 6: which I'm really excited about. But really interesting and also
- 30:38Speaker 6: like extremely like tension wise scary even for an animated show,
- 30:45Speaker 6: like just the government aspect of it and how the
- 30:47Speaker 6: government is trying to completely control this essentially this mushroom.
- 30:53Speaker 6: But really well done. Love love, love this show.
- 31:00Speaker 1: CCS. I put myself on mute, but she's screaming and
- 31:02Speaker 1: throwing things. All right, great, so now it is me
- 31:07Speaker 1: with my number three correct, Yes, yes, let's get this
- 31:12Speaker 1: over with my god. No, this is a very normy pick,
- 31:16Speaker 1: like I could see my mom picking this and everybody
- 31:19Speaker 1: knows about it. Won a lot of awards, But the
- 31:22Speaker 1: pit with Noah Wiley, I was fascinated by the backstory
- 31:26Speaker 1: where this was going to be a continuation of his
- 31:29Speaker 1: character from Er and they went to whoever owns the
- 31:33Speaker 1: rights to Er and they said no. I don't know
- 31:35Speaker 1: why they would say no, like for what reason, But
- 31:38Speaker 1: then they made it anyway, and they made him somebody else,
- 31:40Speaker 1: like a totally different character and then the Er people
- 31:43Speaker 1: sued the Pit because I guess ER owns the copyright
- 31:47Speaker 1: for every medical drama starring Noel Wiley. But it's a
- 31:51Speaker 1: really good show, and it kind of reminded me of
- 31:53Speaker 1: like we've kind of gotten away from this type of
- 31:56Speaker 1: show because Er like the procedurals that are really bad
- 32:01Speaker 1: that are still on basically just CBS where it's like
- 32:04Speaker 1: n CIS. What was the one I texted you guys
- 32:07Speaker 1: the name of the n CIS show. There's like nineteen
- 32:10Speaker 1: spinoffs of n CIS now. It was called.
- 32:14Speaker 5: Yeah, no, this is not This does not mean to
- 32:16Speaker 5: disparage anyone who watches any of these shows, but it's
- 32:18Speaker 5: TV for stupid people.
- 32:19Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, it's just right. It just exists, so you
- 32:22Speaker 4: don't need to think about it. You just you get
- 32:24Speaker 4: your hour to sit down and relax at.
- 32:25Speaker 5: The end of the day, and then you just move on.
- 32:26Speaker 5: That's how some people consume TV, which is fantastic. I
- 32:29Speaker 5: do not consume anything that way.
- 32:31Speaker 1: So it is absolutely disparaging of the people. You just said,
- 32:34Speaker 1: you're not disparaging, but I'm here for that. I want
- 32:37Speaker 1: to disparage them, and I agree with you. It's TV
- 32:39Speaker 1: for stupid people. N CIS Tony and Ziva was one
- 32:42Speaker 1: of the cancel one the it's a real show, Google it.
- 32:46Speaker 1: It was canceled in twenty twenty five. Was an n
- 32:48Speaker 1: CIS spin off.
- 32:49Speaker 5: Well, so the new the new version of that, Tim
- 32:52Speaker 5: and you've talked about this is Yellowstone.
- 32:53Speaker 4: Yellowstone has is turned in.
- 32:55Speaker 5: There's one that's just one character from Yellowstone has his
- 32:57Speaker 5: own show now and it's exactly well.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Ever, I will never watch a taillor Sheridan show. People
- 33:03Speaker 1: ask me all the time, have you watched land Man?
- 33:04Speaker 1: And I just smile and play at least say, oh no,
- 33:07Speaker 1: I haven't yet. I will never watch any of his shows.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Fucking Yellowstone, fuck you. Yeah. But anyway, So, but but
- 33:15Speaker 1: E R is actually good. Ears actually was really it
- 33:17Speaker 1: was a good show. And this is like like E R,
- 33:21Speaker 1: but sort of more modern and like I would say,
- 33:24Speaker 1: a little bit better, more refined, because we are better
- 33:28Speaker 1: at TV in my opinion now than we were back then.
- 33:30Speaker 1: So I really read the hell out of it. And
- 33:32Speaker 1: Noah Wiley is super likable, and uh yeah, it was great.
- 33:37Speaker 1: It was really intense.
- 33:38Speaker 5: It's my wife's favorite show and her favorite show was
- 33:40Speaker 5: E R. So it was a big deal when that
- 33:42Speaker 5: came out. When the show came out, I really like
- 33:44Speaker 5: the guy. We talked about him and I can't think
- 33:45Speaker 5: of his name, but he's he was in Animal Kingdom
- 33:47Speaker 5: and he's in that show An Animal Game, and he
- 33:52Speaker 5: plays Pope, but I don't know who he plays in
- 33:54Speaker 5: this show.
- 33:54Speaker 1: He's one of the least the guy from Outside Providence
- 33:56Speaker 1: and the faculty.
- 33:57Speaker 4: Yeah, I love I love that, Sean, Yeah, yea yeah,
- 34:01Speaker 4: yeh yeah, I love that too.
- 34:02Speaker 1: He's the main character in Outside Providence, which is a classic.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Have either of you watched this.
- 34:10Speaker 4: I've just seen episodes here and there, but I have
- 34:12Speaker 4: not watched it.
- 34:13Speaker 1: All right, yeah, if you like that kind of thing.
- 34:16Speaker 1: My wife thought it was like too intense and violent
- 34:19Speaker 1: because it's in emergency room. But uh yeah, it's especially
- 34:23Speaker 1: like when they talk about COVID and stuff like that.
- 34:25Speaker 1: I feel really bad for the people that were working
- 34:28Speaker 1: in emergency rooms during those times. Chicago could have been fun. No,
- 34:33Speaker 1: isn't it. Isn't it in Pittsburgh? Isn't that whys? Yeah,
- 34:38Speaker 1: I'm ninety nine percent sure on that, but I'm gonna
- 34:41Speaker 1: fact check myself. However, Yeah, let's move on to I
- 34:47Speaker 1: want to make sure there's no overlap. Yep, there's no overlap. Andy,
- 34:51Speaker 1: What is your number? Three?
- 34:53Speaker 5: Another Apple post apocalyptic show, Pluribus. So this is from
- 34:58Speaker 5: Vince Galligan from Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, and it.
- 35:03Speaker 4: Is it's starred.
- 35:09Speaker 5: How do you saying, Racy Horn? She is it's sort
- 35:14Speaker 5: of like last Man on Earth. She's the last person,
- 35:16Speaker 5: one of the last few people on Earth. This sort
- 35:20Speaker 5: of virus or aliens have taken over then it's unclear
- 35:23Speaker 5: as to what it is, but something has taken over
- 35:24Speaker 5: the world and all of the people in the world
- 35:27Speaker 5: are inside every person and they all are just zombies.
- 35:31Speaker 5: And there's one representative who is left to talk to
- 35:36Speaker 5: the few people they couldn't turn and there's like, I
- 35:38Speaker 5: think there's like twelve people left in the world that
- 35:40Speaker 5: haven't been turned.
- 35:41Speaker 3: And so.
- 35:43Speaker 5: Racy Horn plays an author and she's alcoholic and very
- 35:47Speaker 5: sarcastic and mean, and they haven't figured out a way
- 35:51Speaker 5: to turn her yet into them. And the goal has
- 35:53Speaker 5: turned everybody into this society where everybody is inside every
- 35:56Speaker 5: person and they have all the intelligence of everyone in
- 35:59Speaker 5: the world that they're just robotically running the world.
- 36:03Speaker 4: And she has to communicate back and.
- 36:05Speaker 5: Forth with them, and there's one representative who comes to
- 36:07Speaker 5: speak to her, and her name is Zosia, and the
- 36:11Speaker 5: interactions with meeting her and Zocha are fantastic. She lives
- 36:13Speaker 5: in like, I don't know, somewhere in Arizona. I think,
- 36:16Speaker 5: I think it's Phoenix or some of Scottsdale. And and uh,
- 36:22Speaker 5: she's she's well to do and rich, but now she
- 36:24Speaker 5: has nothing left in the world. So like, there's all
- 36:25Speaker 5: these hilarious scenes where she doesn't want to depend on them,
- 36:28Speaker 5: but they can give her anything she needs at any time.
- 36:30Speaker 4: So if she asked for something, they deliver it.
- 36:32Speaker 5: And there's this one fantastic thing but she asked for
- 36:34Speaker 5: something to be delivered and they deliverert with with the
- 36:35Speaker 5: drone and then the drone crashes.
- 36:37Speaker 4: It crashes into the streetlight and it gets hung up
- 36:39Speaker 4: on the streetlights. Fantastic And so like she she wants to
- 36:43Speaker 4: go at the grocery store, so they stock a whole
- 36:45Speaker 4: grocery store because she wants to shop for herself.
- 36:46Speaker 5: And but she's like stubbornly not crossing over. And the
- 36:50Speaker 5: other the others who are who haven't been crossed over
- 36:53Speaker 5: are full on board with it, and they love the
- 36:55Speaker 5: life that they're living and she hates it. She absolutely
- 36:57Speaker 5: she's been at able being the last person on Earth.
- 36:58Speaker 5: But the other people are just like living it up
- 37:00Speaker 5: in like lavish casinos and they're ordering you know, prostitutes
- 37:03Speaker 5: and like doing doing crazy things. And but except there's
- 37:06Speaker 5: one guy in Paraguay who not who will not He
- 37:09Speaker 5: won't cross over either, so she's trying to connect with
- 37:11Speaker 5: him and and it's just it. If you like Last
- 37:14Speaker 5: Month Last Man on Earth will love this show because
- 37:16Speaker 5: it's the same vibe.
- 37:23Speaker 1: Like with the hive mind aspect of it, where these
- 37:26Speaker 1: people are plugged in and they're happy. Is it like
- 37:28Speaker 1: kind of like a matrix e thing.
- 37:32Speaker 4: Sort of. But they're they're just robots and it's the
- 37:34Speaker 4: only way I can describe them.
- 37:35Speaker 5: Like they just they would they just they're just pleasant
- 37:38Speaker 5: to her, and they would No one has independent thought.
- 37:41Speaker 5: They just like live on their own and don't interact
- 37:43Speaker 5: with her unless she interacts with them, except for this
- 37:45Speaker 5: one person who represents all of society, and she calls
- 37:48Speaker 5: herself we and and she's she's skeptical. Recent Horne is
- 37:55Speaker 5: skeptical of her, her surname is Carol. Carol, and she's
- 37:57Speaker 5: skeptical of Zojia, but jan keeps being nice to her
- 38:00Speaker 5: and keeps giving her things because they're trying to In
- 38:03Speaker 5: the background, they're trying to figure out how to cross
- 38:04Speaker 5: her over, and gradually, at the series goes on, she
- 38:06Speaker 5: starts to find out more through things that she encounters
- 38:09Speaker 5: out in the world of what they're doing. And they
- 38:12Speaker 5: can't so they can't kill animals, and they can't kill
- 38:14Speaker 5: they can't pull plants, so they can't grow any food
- 38:17Speaker 5: or anything like that. So they're providing her just like
- 38:19Speaker 5: the food that's left in the world, is trying to
- 38:21Speaker 5: keep her alive, and they're eating something else. She doesn't
- 38:24Speaker 5: really know what they're eating, but then she gradually finds
- 38:25Speaker 5: out that it's something more.
- 38:26Speaker 4: Sinister, and it ends with one of the best endings
- 38:31Speaker 4: of the first season of TV I've ever seen. It
- 38:32Speaker 4: is fantastic, and it's this emotional thing because because at
- 38:35Speaker 4: first she doesn't she doesn't want.
- 38:38Speaker 5: They call them the others. She doesn't want to be
- 38:39Speaker 5: around the others. She wants to be on her own.
- 38:41Speaker 5: She doesn't want to help from them, and then something
- 38:43Speaker 5: happens where they kind of cut her off and she
- 38:46Speaker 5: gets really sad, and you start to realize, like people
- 38:48Speaker 5: need other people, right, this's message they're sending there, and
- 38:50Speaker 5: she she asks for them to come back, and there's
- 38:53Speaker 5: it's really it's it's that I don't know if you've
- 38:55Speaker 5: seen the Vince Gillian shows, but has that kind of
- 38:56Speaker 5: weird humor where every episode starts out with something you
- 39:00Speaker 5: don't really know where it's going, kind of like better
- 39:02Speaker 5: call Salted, And in the episode, she has to pick
- 39:06Speaker 5: up the phone and call them every time, and every
- 39:07Speaker 5: time she calls them, there's the same recording over and
- 39:09Speaker 5: over again. You have to listen to it over and
- 39:11Speaker 5: over again.
- 39:11Speaker 4: It's it gets really funny actually, but yeah, I highly
- 39:14Speaker 4: recommend the show.
- 39:15Speaker 1: The show is they can't make her crossover. Why not
- 39:18Speaker 1: if it's a virus, Like there's.
- 39:20Speaker 5: Like there's like twelve people in the world that have
- 39:21Speaker 5: something genetically that they can't They can't do it, and.
- 39:25Speaker 4: So they're still trying to figure out.
- 39:27Speaker 5: They tell her it's a matter of time where they're
- 39:29Speaker 5: going to be able to do it, and she keeps
- 39:30Speaker 5: asking them what is that going to be and they're
- 39:32Speaker 5: not sure. Yeah, there's only like there's only like two
- 39:38Speaker 5: or three main characters in the show, and then everyone
- 39:40Speaker 5: else is just like extras whole world.
- 39:44Speaker 1: That that reminds me of what, Well, who's Rick's hot
- 39:46Speaker 1: ex girlfriend that he hooks up with?
- 39:48Speaker 3: Ryan?
- 39:49Speaker 1: And Rick and Morty who is a hive mind like
- 39:51Speaker 1: alien virus? Do you know what we're talking about?
- 39:59Speaker 3: Ryan? Sorry? Unity? Is her name?
- 40:03Speaker 1: Unity? Unity? And who she's voiced by? What's her name?
- 40:08Speaker 1: Christina Hendrix?
- 40:09Speaker 3: Right?
- 40:10Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Christina Hendrix, who will always be just a
- 40:13Speaker 1: very special place in my heart. But even regardless of
- 40:16Speaker 1: how beautiful she is, she has a very like sexy voice,
- 40:19Speaker 1: and they portray Unity as hot, but she controls like
- 40:22Speaker 1: billions of people and as a result of that, like
- 40:26Speaker 1: Rick has orgies with Unity, where like everybody is Unity
- 40:29Speaker 1: and just Rick it's it's pretty funny. Anyways, Okay, that
- 40:33Speaker 1: sounds very interesting. Ryan, your wait, let me look it up.
- 40:37Speaker 1: What it is I like to be to make a comment? Uh? No,
- 40:41Speaker 1: I have no comment for this.
- 40:44Speaker 3: No, sure, go ahead?
- 40:45Speaker 6: Yeah, So my number three is and or season two.
- 40:51Speaker 3: There we go. Perfect.
- 40:54Speaker 6: So this did something really interesting with pretty big gap
- 40:58Speaker 6: between season one and two.
- 41:00Speaker 3: For the hype of season.
- 41:01Speaker 6: One, the episodes were like released in batches of two,
- 41:06Speaker 6: and the episodes were separated by numbers of years, so
- 41:08Speaker 6: they kind of just showed like jumping between those worlds.
- 41:13Speaker 3: I am just genuinely stunned. This is a Disney Plus
- 41:15Speaker 3: television show.
- 41:17Speaker 1: Is did you mention that this is I don't think
- 41:19Speaker 1: you mentioned that this is Star Wars unless I wasn't listening.
- 41:21Speaker 3: This is Star Wars. If people don't know, sorry, yeah,
- 41:23Speaker 3: Star Wars.
- 41:24Speaker 5: Imagine not knowing, Tim, Tim, imagine not knowing this is
- 41:27Speaker 5: Star Wars.
- 41:28Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, if you just say the word and Or, like,
- 41:30Speaker 1: everybody's gonna go, oh, obviously. But but I've heard, like
- 41:35Speaker 1: from non Star Wars fans that and Or season one
- 41:38Speaker 1: is like the greatest Star Wars property ever made.
- 41:41Speaker 6: It's pretty incredible. It's amazing how genuinely terrifying they made
- 41:50Speaker 6: the Empire on this show without including any of like
- 41:54Speaker 6: the big name characters, are just making like the systematic
- 41:57Speaker 6: control the Empire has. It's pretty scary because what's happening
- 42:03Speaker 6: in the world now. There's a big immigration plot line here,
- 42:07Speaker 6: there's a very big resource control plot line here.
- 42:12Speaker 3: The idea of what it's.
- 42:13Speaker 6: Like to quote unquote be a rebel to fight against
- 42:17Speaker 6: this group. And how you have to live your life
- 42:20Speaker 6: is so interesting and so fascinating.
- 42:21Speaker 3: How you can't live.
- 42:24Speaker 6: For yourself, you have to live for this idea is
- 42:27Speaker 6: so fascinating, and they explore it so well in this show,
- 42:30Speaker 6: and the collateral damage of that is so interesting. I
- 42:36Speaker 6: just also loved again and that they were just like.
- 42:39Speaker 3: This is it.
- 42:39Speaker 6: We're doing two seasons. That's what it's gonna be. We're
- 42:42Speaker 6: not going to expand it, We're just gonna do it.
- 42:44Speaker 6: And it's amazing how it truly doesn't it amazing how
- 42:49Speaker 6: it coexists in the Star Wars world. I'm kind of
- 42:51Speaker 6: floored by that for something so heavy, so serious.
- 42:54Speaker 1: But forget this question. Forgive me for asking this question.
- 42:58Speaker 1: What is the significance of and Or in Star Wars universe?
- 43:02Speaker 6: So and Or is we have not got to it
- 43:04Speaker 6: yet on this show, but for Rogue One are the
- 43:07Speaker 6: ever elusive of Rogue one? And Or is one of
- 43:10Speaker 6: the main characters played by Daego Luna, who has deals
- 43:13Speaker 6: the Death Star plans to destroy the Death Star in
- 43:16Speaker 6: that movie.
- 43:18Speaker 1: Yes, that's very significant.
- 43:20Speaker 5: Yeah, what's the Star Wars movie that makes Ryan really mad?
- 43:25Speaker 3: Nine Rise of Skywalker.
- 43:27Speaker 1: Which is nine right, yeap episode nine and uh yeah
- 43:33Speaker 1: wrote the elusive, ever elusive Rogue one. For those that
- 43:35Speaker 1: may remember, Ryan and I have tried to watch Rogue
- 43:38Speaker 1: One like four times, and we were very, very drunk
- 43:41Speaker 1: and never made it through it each of the four times.
- 43:44Speaker 6: One of the serious wake ups of my life is
- 43:45Speaker 6: watching that movie at that time when we were watching
- 43:47Speaker 6: it together, because the sun came up in your that
- 43:50Speaker 6: house is all windows.
- 43:52Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but no.
- 43:56Speaker 6: This was this was excellent if people haven't seen the
- 43:59Speaker 6: first season, and the first season has one of the
- 44:01Speaker 6: best I think prison escape scenes that I've ever seen
- 44:04Speaker 6: in anything, movies or television.
- 44:07Speaker 3: Extraordinary show.
- 44:09Speaker 6: It's also kind of bizarre how Disney has put it
- 44:13Speaker 6: out promoted the show but tends to downplay its content.
- 44:17Speaker 6: I think it's really interesting, not so much edit the show,
- 44:21Speaker 6: but like they do not project the ideas that the
- 44:26Speaker 6: show has in there, which I think is pretty interesting.
- 44:29Speaker 6: But yeah, extraordinary season in a weird way. Glad it's
- 44:33Speaker 6: over because it's just phenomenal ending for a show, but
- 44:36Speaker 6: absolutely amazing and incredibly throwing you'll burn.
- 44:41Speaker 3: I don't think so.
- 44:42Speaker 6: I think they have the movie this year, and then
- 44:45Speaker 6: I think this part I'm assuming be more TV.
- 44:49Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, I mean, who cares. I still
- 44:52Speaker 1: watching The Mandalorian like years ago, and I love that show.
- 44:55Speaker 1: But yeah, Pedro Pascal, I'm not saying The Mandalorian is
- 45:00Speaker 1: included in this because he started doing that forever ago.
- 45:02Speaker 1: Maybe start saying no to things. I just feel like
- 45:05Speaker 1: he's always He's always in something that's coming out like
- 45:09Speaker 1: every other month. But a lot of most of the stuff,
- 45:13Speaker 1: to be fair, that he says yes to is very good.
- 45:15Speaker 1: So all right, we're going to my number two. My
- 45:20Speaker 1: number two is Love Island Beyond the Villa. So this
- 45:26Speaker 1: is the recap show after the actual episodes of Love Island,
- 45:30Speaker 1: and I just think it's like you get another layer
- 45:34Speaker 1: of the onion peeled off if you watch the recap show.
- 45:37Speaker 1: So in some ways I find the recap show more
- 45:39Speaker 1: fascinating than the show itself. Ryan, you were a big
- 45:42Speaker 1: fan of Beyond.
- 45:43Speaker 3: The Villa, right, I have not seen it? Yeah, what do.
- 45:49Speaker 4: You mean, Sandy Cohen recap show?
- 45:51Speaker 1: I don't, I know, I don't think so, I don't.
- 45:53Speaker 1: I don't think Love Island is on Bravo, But I
- 45:56Speaker 1: I don't. I don't watch it. That was a joke.
- 45:59Speaker 1: So my number two is I don't have to talk
- 46:02Speaker 1: about it at all. It was Adolescents. Me and Eric
- 46:05Speaker 1: did a podcast on adolescence and I thought it was
- 46:07Speaker 1: a great pod. So go listen to the adolescents pod.
- 46:10Speaker 1: I don't need to talk about it at all.
- 46:12Speaker 5: But it was I didn't realize I forgot about that
- 46:13Speaker 5: show as Welton. That would have bout my list.
- 46:15Speaker 1: Oh man, that show is fucking great and like really
- 46:18Speaker 1: said something, really said something of value that like rattled me.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Very rare excellent mini series, Like I have not seen
- 46:27Speaker 1: many things that are many mini series that were that good.
- 46:30Speaker 1: But what you can move on, go.
- 46:31Speaker 4: Ahead, one quick thing on that. What I liked about
- 46:34Speaker 4: that show was the the thing that you weren't sure
- 46:38Speaker 4: about the entire da of the mini series, that you
- 46:41Speaker 4: kind of find out about who did the last episode
- 46:43Speaker 4: or the second last episode, what the truth is?
- 46:45Speaker 3: Right?
- 46:45Speaker 4: You don't really know the truth through the show, right,
- 46:47Speaker 4: I think, And when you find out the truth doesn't
- 46:50Speaker 4: really matter.
- 46:52Speaker 1: Yeah, the show, well, the whole first episode is like, oh,
- 46:55Speaker 1: this whole mini series is going to be a mystery
- 46:58Speaker 1: of did this boy really kill her, and then you
- 47:01Speaker 1: find out at the end of the last episode that he,
- 47:02Speaker 1: I mean sorry, the end of the first episode that
- 47:05Speaker 1: he absolutely did kill her. It's caught on video, but
- 47:08Speaker 1: you don't really find out like the whole reason why.
- 47:13Speaker 1: And when you do find out, it's just kind of like.
- 47:15Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, it didn't matter.
- 47:18Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not satisfying, It's just it made me really
- 47:21Speaker 1: happy I don't have a son. That's what I would
- 47:24Speaker 1: in this current environment growing up. I think it's tough
- 47:27Speaker 1: for it's tough obviously tough for girls too, but it's
- 47:31Speaker 1: obviously tougher girls in a different way that it's tough
- 47:33Speaker 1: for boys. And the way that it's tougher for boys,
- 47:35Speaker 1: I just like really don't like. So, like, I don't
- 47:39Speaker 1: think CC will start watching porn at eight years old,
- 47:43Speaker 1: which is a lot of boys do start watching a
- 47:46Speaker 1: hardcore pornography at like eight years old now, which is
- 47:49Speaker 1: just terrifying to think of. So I'm kind of glad
- 47:51Speaker 1: I don't have a boy. Sorry, Eric, Oh yeah, that's
- 47:58Speaker 1: what is Ryan. That's true, that's true. Ryan's more of
- 48:02Speaker 1: like a ward. But yeah, so excellent show. Ryan, did
- 48:10Speaker 1: you I don't remember you watched this.
- 48:12Speaker 3: This was too adult for me, so I passed on this.
- 48:15Speaker 1: Okay, that makes sense, that makes sense that they cleaned
- 48:17Speaker 1: up with the Golden Globes again they wanted to the
- 48:19Speaker 1: Emmys and Golden Globes. Good and he's so good. He's
- 48:25Speaker 1: he's been in everything for a long time. And he
- 48:28Speaker 1: was in The Irishman, which I love. Yeah, yeah, his
- 48:33Speaker 1: compone and Boardwalk. He was in Snatch.
- 48:37Speaker 5: Did you see the cooking movie that he did, Tim
- 48:39Speaker 5: that he directed it and it's one shot, No, I
- 48:41Speaker 5: did not. It's called Boiling Point and it's it's it's
- 48:44Speaker 5: a it's a wonner, the whole the whole film.
- 48:47Speaker 1: Well, he needs to pump the brakes to that because
- 48:49Speaker 1: so was adolescence and that's a lot. We don't always
- 48:52Speaker 1: need to do that, Stephen Graham.
- 48:53Speaker 6: So that's his only contractual things. I only have to
- 48:57Speaker 6: be in one incredible.
- 48:59Speaker 4: I want to.
- 49:00Speaker 1: I just don't know how to edit.
- 49:01Speaker 3: I'm back good. I can nail it at once.
- 49:04Speaker 1: And we don't have we don't have the money to
- 49:05Speaker 1: for an editor. Yeah, so that's my that's my number two.
- 49:10Speaker 1: And oh Andy, So I started this show and I
- 49:13Speaker 1: didn't finish it yet. But it has a lot to
- 49:16Speaker 1: spoil it. Yeah, there's a lot of potential, but go ahead.
- 49:20Speaker 4: It's the Chair Company. And I'm guessing it's on Ryan's
- 49:22Speaker 4: list somewhere.
- 49:22Speaker 1: But it was not. It was not on Ryan's list.
- 49:28Speaker 4: Okay, Okay.
- 49:30Speaker 5: It's Tim Robinson, who I think everything he's done is fantastic.
- 49:33Speaker 5: He's kind of I think he's acquired taste, Like I
- 49:35Speaker 5: think some folks don't really like him, but but he's obviously.
- 49:38Speaker 4: Very popular right now.
- 49:39Speaker 5: And essentially it's a it's a weird kind of dystopian
- 49:43Speaker 5: comedy about a guy who works for a real estate company.
- 49:46Speaker 4: It's like a commercial real estate company, and he it's
- 49:48Speaker 4: like his big moment.
- 49:48Speaker 5: He's getting this big job and he's on stage at
- 49:50Speaker 5: his company, like announcing the project and he goes to
- 49:53Speaker 5: sit down in his chair on stage and the chair collapses,
- 49:55Speaker 5: and the rest of the series is him invest to
- 50:00Speaker 5: getting this Chair Company because he thinks something sinister is
- 50:02Speaker 5: going on and he it's it's kind of comes off
- 50:05Speaker 5: of the the vibe, but I think you should leave
- 50:07Speaker 5: where like he's caught. Sometimes he's caught in a lie
- 50:10Speaker 5: and sometimes he's not, and he gets just keeps digging
- 50:12Speaker 5: himself deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper.
- 50:14Speaker 5: And his wife is Lake Belle and she's fantastic and
- 50:17Speaker 5: I can't him of the actor who plays his daughter,
- 50:19Speaker 5: but she's really good too. And he's all kinds of
- 50:21Speaker 5: weird characters that he comes across. He has this investigative
- 50:24Speaker 5: reporter guy that's like becomes like the sidekick.
- 50:26Speaker 4: That's just a weird relationship.
- 50:28Speaker 5: And uh, oh Lou Diamond Phillips lude Allen Phillips is
- 50:34Speaker 5: his boss at work.
- 50:36Speaker 4: The guy from Ponent what's the guy's name?
- 50:38Speaker 3: Who?
- 50:38Speaker 4: Who? Who gets injured?
- 50:40Speaker 1: The guy from Billy Madison and Saturday a Live.
- 50:43Speaker 7: Oh, Jim Downey down unreal in this show he was
- 50:46Speaker 7: in on one battle and and uh, it's it's really
- 50:51Speaker 7: hard to explain the show and not sound like a
- 50:53Speaker 7: crazy person, but it is.
- 50:56Speaker 4: Every single episode makes me.
- 50:57Speaker 6: Laugh like hash to be one of the best characters
- 51:02Speaker 6: ever made.
- 51:03Speaker 3: The bouncer at a diner.
- 51:08Speaker 4: But he's just always watching for him.
- 51:10Speaker 5: And there's there's one tim you haven't I know you
- 51:12Speaker 5: haven't got to it yet, but there's a final scene
- 51:16Speaker 5: in it that the the Christmas Carrol episode, Ryan the Christmas.
- 51:20Speaker 5: The last scene of the Christmas Carrol episode. I I
- 51:22Speaker 5: can't even repeat how it came down to my house
- 51:24Speaker 5: when it was on the screen, but but it.
- 51:27Speaker 4: It's so good.
- 51:29Speaker 6: This guy, Like when he's in the car and they're
- 51:32Speaker 6: driving together and he's listening to the radio and the
- 51:35Speaker 6: radio is Connor O'Malley playing two different radio hosts and
- 51:38Speaker 6: they're just fucking screaming at each other, and he has
- 51:41Speaker 6: the volume on three hundred and he's like, I love
- 51:43Speaker 6: this guys.
- 51:44Speaker 3: They're so fucking fun.
- 51:45Speaker 6: It sounds like the exactly so insane. The thing about
- 51:50Speaker 6: the show I thought was like interesting, was I wonder
- 51:53Speaker 6: it's gonna be a hard thing for Tim Robinson because
- 51:55Speaker 6: like he is, so I think you should leave, and
- 51:58Speaker 6: like much I like a loved friendship, it's almost like
- 52:02Speaker 6: friendship was better off being and I think you should
- 52:04Speaker 6: leave Sketch where like this show is like his sense
- 52:06Speaker 6: of humor is that. But then the show has like
- 52:09Speaker 6: somewhat serious moments and you're not sure how to gauge
- 52:11Speaker 6: it because you're kind of like.
- 52:13Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, so that's what I was gonna say.
- 52:14Speaker 5: There's a scene where like his family is starting to
- 52:16Speaker 5: show concerned about him because he's completely and they make
- 52:18Speaker 5: reference to like another problem that he had when he
- 52:20Speaker 5: had the Jeep toys company, which makes no sense either.
- 52:23Speaker 4: But but there's.
- 52:24Speaker 5: A part that's a part where his his daughter is
- 52:28Speaker 5: like asking him like, oh, explain it to me, and
- 52:31Speaker 5: you can tell that she's kind of trying to lead
- 52:32Speaker 5: him on to see how how like obsessed he is.
- 52:35Speaker 4: And she's like clearly like starting to be the voice
- 52:37Speaker 4: of reason and she's like, oh, yeah, Dad, let me
- 52:39Speaker 4: see and she like she's like, let me see that
- 52:41Speaker 4: you're phone. Then she takes his phone and she's secretly
- 52:42Speaker 4: like tracks his phone and she gives him his phone back,
- 52:45Speaker 4: and you think that like she's finally like someone who's
- 52:48Speaker 4: gonna take care of her whatever.
- 52:49Speaker 5: And then as the series go along, she's kind of
- 52:51Speaker 5: like on board with him, and she started.
- 52:53Speaker 4: I didn't understand that that was going that direction.
- 52:55Speaker 6: I was because like when she approaches him and you're like, here,
- 52:57Speaker 6: it's gonna be like the reality call, yeah, and yeah,
- 53:01Speaker 6: it's his.
- 53:02Speaker 4: Daughter is getting married. His daughter is getting married to
- 53:04Speaker 4: a woman, and they live in an apartment and the
- 53:06Speaker 4: her her fiance's job is to photograph food for fast
- 53:10Speaker 4: food companies, and so at one point she's photographing Wendy's
- 53:13Speaker 4: new hampsand they have to share. The family has to
- 53:18Speaker 4: come and use her use uh, stay overnight, and they're like,
- 53:21Speaker 4: you can't go in that room. That's the Hamp sandwich room, and.
- 53:27Speaker 3: Oh my god.
- 53:28Speaker 1: The going back to what you said about the daughter,
- 53:32Speaker 1: I think a reoccurring thing in his sketches is, you
- 53:34Speaker 1: know a lot of sketches, there's the crazy guy and
- 53:36Speaker 1: the straight man, and the Tim Robinson thing is like,
- 53:39Speaker 1: there's the crazy guy and the straight man who plays
- 53:40Speaker 1: off the crazy guy and is normal. He's he's like
- 53:43Speaker 1: you in this situation, but then as the situation goes on,
- 53:47Speaker 1: you discover that the straight man is equally as crazy
- 53:49Speaker 1: as the crazy person. He does that all the time,
- 53:52Speaker 1: and his sketches. I agree with what Ryan said totally
- 53:54Speaker 1: about friendship. And I loved Tim Robinson, but he always
- 53:59Speaker 1: it's always kind of the same thing, and I love
- 54:01Speaker 1: his sense of humor and his weirdness, but it's always
- 54:03Speaker 1: like a guy who's going too far, is too obsessive
- 54:07Speaker 1: and weird and just like digging deeper and deeper and
- 54:10Speaker 1: deeper and then trying to justify his behavior and why
- 54:13Speaker 1: it was actually normal and everybody else is wrong, and
- 54:17Speaker 1: just just digging the whole deep. It's like there's a
- 54:19Speaker 1: scene in The Simpsons where they say, how do we
- 54:22Speaker 1: get to this hole? I know, we'll dig our way
- 54:24Speaker 1: out and they just keep digging down. That's kind of
- 54:27Speaker 1: what he does emotionally and all of his sketches, so
- 54:30Speaker 1: he kind of is just always the same thing. But
- 54:33Speaker 1: I'm here. I'm here for that. Absolutely, yea, absolutely, that
- 54:37Speaker 1: one thing he always is. I really need to finish it.
- 54:40Speaker 1: But anyway, so it's on HBO, right, Yes.
- 54:43Speaker 3: That's on Max Field.
- 54:45Speaker 1: Awesome, HBO Max is now sorry, Max is now HBO
- 54:48Speaker 1: Max again. So again I'm happy that.
- 54:53Speaker 5: Netflix soon to be paramount Netflix, HBO, Max dot Com.
- 54:56Speaker 1: I know org Yeah, but anyways, okay, Ryan, you have
- 55:05Speaker 1: your number two. I have no idea what this is.
- 55:07Speaker 6: This is the lowdown. It was ethx Hulu. It's from
- 55:12Speaker 6: the creators are of Reservation Dogs. It stars Ethan Hawke.
- 55:16Speaker 6: He's a journalist in Oklahoma. We're sorry, like retired or
- 55:21Speaker 6: also not getting any work journalists who runs a rare
- 55:24Speaker 6: bookstore and he is very kind of cultural and he
- 55:28Speaker 6: is investigating how a family in the town who's part
- 55:32Speaker 6: of the governing body is partnered with this property ownership group.
- 55:36Speaker 6: And it's pretty much like running any of the poor
- 55:39Speaker 6: local people out of the town or any of the
- 55:41Speaker 6: homegrown businesses out of the town.
- 55:43Speaker 3: It's very.
- 55:45Speaker 6: Like obviously conspiratorial, but it's very very funny, very kind
- 55:50Speaker 6: of like he's his own worst enemy kind of story
- 55:53Speaker 6: like we always see on TV. But really great story,
- 55:56Speaker 6: phenomenal cast. It's Ethan Hawk and Keith David are paired
- 56:02Speaker 6: up for the show. It's fucking awesome, such a great
- 56:05Speaker 6: combination the sort of main villains or like Tracy Letts
- 56:09Speaker 6: Kyle McGlaughlin. Really great show. Absolutely loved it, such a
- 56:16Speaker 6: great such an interesting vibe for this kind of show too.
- 56:21Speaker 6: It's conspiratorial but still not like when it does get severe,
- 56:26Speaker 6: it's kind of fucking terrifying, but when it doesn't, it's
- 56:29Speaker 6: very light.
- 56:29Speaker 3: It's I think it's a hard balance to do. But
- 56:31Speaker 3: I thought this was so so good. I loved this.
- 56:37Speaker 5: I only saw the first I just started, so I
- 56:39Speaker 5: only saw like the first two episodes.
- 56:40Speaker 4: I put it on my honorable mentions because I knew,
- 56:42Speaker 4: I know, it's.
- 56:43Speaker 5: A show that I'm I'm I really like I love
- 56:46Speaker 5: Ethan Ethan Hawk that I think one of his other
- 56:48Speaker 5: movies is in my honorable mentions.
- 56:50Speaker 4: The the cast is is great.
- 56:54Speaker 5: It looks like I know, he said Sisterlian hard Joe show,
- 56:56Speaker 5: but it looks like it reminds you of like a
- 56:58Speaker 5: little bit like a Cohen Brothers time to it because
- 57:02Speaker 5: it's like Southwest and whatever. But excellent, excellent show. I like,
- 57:06Speaker 5: I like that kind of Rungie the character who's messed
- 57:09Speaker 5: up but you know, heart of Goldson. Yeah, fantastic show.
- 57:13Speaker 5: I like Tracy Letts, like one of my favorite humans,
- 57:16Speaker 5: Like he's the best not the big picture of all
- 57:18Speaker 5: the time now And he was in he did you
- 57:21Speaker 5: guys see I don't think it's on anyone's list, But
- 57:22Speaker 5: did you see.
- 57:25Speaker 4: The Catherine Bigelo movie this year, House of Dynamite. No, No,
- 57:30Speaker 4: he was one of the leads in that. That was really
- 57:32Speaker 4: that movie was really good.
- 57:34Speaker 5: It's a little bit like a zoom call the whole movie,
- 57:36Speaker 5: which is kind of annoying.
- 57:36Speaker 3: But.
- 57:39Speaker 4: Really good, really good movie. But Tracy, Yeah, he's.
- 57:41Speaker 1: Fantastic, doesn't He play the president of Ford Motor Company
- 57:43Speaker 1: and Ford versus Ferrari.
- 57:45Speaker 3: I believe he does. I have not seen it, but
- 57:47Speaker 3: I believe he does play.
- 57:48Speaker 4: He's been getting a ton of movie roles lately because
- 57:50Speaker 4: he's a theater guy.
- 57:51Speaker 1: He's very good in everything I've ever seen him. And
- 57:54Speaker 1: he has like a very small role in that movie.
- 57:56Speaker 1: But you're supposed to be like terrified of his gravitas
- 57:59Speaker 1: and the movie, and he like he conveys it extremely well.
- 58:04Speaker 1: That's that's yeah interesting.
- 58:07Speaker 3: I should mention too. Another important part of this show.
- 58:11Speaker 6: It's it's the show kicks off, its whole kind of
- 58:14Speaker 6: narrative kicks off because a famous member of this family
- 58:17Speaker 6: is supposedly commits suicide and it's played by Tim Blake Nelson,
- 58:21Speaker 6: speaking of, and his wife is Jean Triple Horn. She
- 58:26Speaker 6: was fucking so good on the show. She is so
- 58:29Speaker 6: goddamn good on the show.
- 58:30Speaker 4: She plays like the rich widow.
- 58:32Speaker 3: Oh so good. It's definitely worth checking out.
- 58:36Speaker 1: I watched the Tim Blake Nelson. I'm a big Western guy, Like,
- 58:39Speaker 1: what a Western's good? I really like a Western. What's
- 58:42Speaker 1: the one where I don't want to spill it, spoil
- 58:45Speaker 1: the ending, but it's called Old Henry. Have you guys
- 58:49Speaker 1: seen Old Henry. No, can I just ruin the movie
- 58:53Speaker 1: for you guys? Do you care? It came It came
- 58:56Speaker 1: out five years ago, so if you skip ahead thirty
- 58:59Speaker 1: second and so if you don't want to spoil Old Henry,
- 59:01Speaker 1: so Old Henry is like, there's this guy and his
- 59:04Speaker 1: kid living in this remote farm, just tending to their land,
- 59:07Speaker 1: and they run a foul of some like outlaws, and
- 59:12Speaker 1: the outlaws are like trying to muscle them or whatever,
- 59:15Speaker 1: and Tim Blake Nelson just basically like fucking murders everyone.
- 59:19Speaker 1: And then you find out that he's actually Billy the Kid.
- 59:22Speaker 1: That Billy the Kid didn't Billy the Kid didn't die,
- 59:26Speaker 1: He just like went into hiding. So I enjoyed that.
- 59:29Speaker 1: It's not going to like light your hair, light the
- 59:31Speaker 1: world on fire, blow your hair back, but it's it
- 59:33Speaker 1: was very solid if you like westerns. Yeah, and oh,
- 59:39Speaker 1: one thing I wanted to say, this is kind of
- 59:40Speaker 1: a hot take. I don't hate or even dislike Ethan
- 59:44Speaker 1: Hawk remotely. I have no problem with Ethan Hawk. I
- 59:46Speaker 1: just don't really get like Ethan Hawk being an A
- 59:49Speaker 1: list actor for thirty plus years. I just don't really
- 59:53Speaker 1: He's not like, oh, Ethan Hawk, Like, oh, awesome.
- 59:56Speaker 4: Like I think he's a nice guy. I think that's
- 59:59Speaker 4: part of it, right, really is that?
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: I think he's vibe.
- 1:00:03Speaker 6: He's also secretly been nominated for what five oscars himself,
- 1:00:07Speaker 6: like even like before this recent fame, a recent more
- 1:00:09Speaker 6: resurgence fame.
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: It's kind of interesting training.
- 1:00:14Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he's for writing a lot of the stuff
- 1:00:18Speaker 6: he's written, so yeah.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: Fair enough, all right? Cool?
- 1:00:23Speaker 5: Have you have you ever seen the picture of of
- 1:00:25Speaker 5: him courtside of the next game and he's next to
- 1:00:27Speaker 5: his son and Rihanna is next to his son, and
- 1:00:30Speaker 5: then in the second half, the son switches seats and
- 1:00:32Speaker 5: he's sitting next to Rihanna.
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: That's awesome. That's hilarious. I respect that is it is
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: some of Uma Thurman.
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: I'm not sure I would think, right, yeah.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: We'll get.
- 1:00:46Speaker 6: Maya, right, all right, she's definitely yeah, I believe she's
- 1:00:51Speaker 6: definitely both them.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So I think we're going to.

- 1:03:18Speaker 5: con right, right.
- 1:03:20Speaker 4: Matt Matt Bellani, who.
- 1:03:21Speaker 5: Does the Town podcast, is like a big part of
- 1:03:22Speaker 5: the show is a lot of inside Hollywood stuff.
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: And Dave Franco a plus.
- 1:03:27Speaker 4: Yeah, not a second.
- 1:03:28Speaker 5: Frank Jay Franco is amazing in the show.
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a complete ship show. And then they got
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: that's somehow fine.
- 1:03:36Speaker 4: A lot.
- 1:03:37Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, it's it's amazing, It's it's the it's the
- 1:03:42Speaker 5: best comedy that's been on the TV and twenty years.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: I bet, I bet this show is excellent. I'm I
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: just have two. I have too like caution things for me.
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: One is whatever I hate when Hollywood makes stuff about Hollywood.
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: It's always a jerk off fest where it's it's a
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: jerk off fest and a cameo fest, and I fucking
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: hate that. And number two, I don't believe you believe
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: it's your favorite show of all time. It's like when
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: when Pep texted me, oh so I listened to your
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: favorite movies of all time list, and like Ryan didn't
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: have Jurassic Park on his list, but he had The Strangers,
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: And I say, I responded to Pep, I don't believe
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: that Ryan believes that. That's my response to He's saying.
- 1:04:26Speaker 4: This is just it's not the show is that good.
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: It's better than the Wire, it's better than the Sopranos.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: I don't believe you.
- 1:04:34Speaker 5: For me, it's better than the Sopranos. But but the Wire,
- 1:04:37Speaker 5: I don't suppose. I love the show absolutely, but it's
- 1:04:40Speaker 5: only about one season.
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: But you're not allowed to love the show, and this
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: will be your last time appearing on the pod. No,
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: I I I've heard it's great. It's just that that's
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: why I've been hesitant to watch it is because of
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: the jerkoff factor, A meaning I'm worried that I will
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: jerk off to the show. No, that's not what I mean.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: But U, Ryan, have you what wait? Did you want
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: to say anything about the studio or.
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: I thought it was great too? Yeah? Okayted a lot.
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: All right, Ran, I'm gonna let you announce what is
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: our co the official Cops Basement lock of the best
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: television show both hosts agree, the best television show of
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Ryan, take it away.
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: Yep.
- 1:05:21Speaker 6: So your assistant brought this to my house to let
- 1:05:24Speaker 6: me know this was going to be our number one.
- 1:05:26Speaker 6: So it's really great. Thank you. I hope that person survives.
- 1:05:31Speaker 6: So my number one is the rehearsal season two.
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: I was so.
- 1:05:39Speaker 6: I was going through the list of TV stuff that
- 1:05:40Speaker 6: I had written down, and I was like, this was
- 1:05:44Speaker 6: the one that just.
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: Blew me away.
- 1:05:46Speaker 6: Like I just like when you were watching it, you
- 1:05:49Speaker 6: couldn't believe what you were watching was real on every episode,
- 1:05:53Speaker 6: and I thought, especially with the first season, at the rehearsal,
- 1:05:55Speaker 6: like how do you do this again? Indifferent and how
- 1:06:00Speaker 6: they built up to like the whole first episode is
- 1:06:04Speaker 6: explaining the scenario of the season of what's going to
- 1:06:06Speaker 6: be about, and then when they get to what the
- 1:06:08Speaker 6: season is about, you're kind of like, oh, I get
- 1:06:10Speaker 6: it because like this plays into the whole Nathan anxiety thing,
- 1:06:14Speaker 6: and then he starts the whole Canadian idol thing and
- 1:06:18Speaker 6: you're like, what the fuck is this? Love that Lizard
- 1:06:20Speaker 6: Lounge is back. I'm so excited by that. That was
- 1:06:23Speaker 6: like probably my favorite moment of television that the showed him
- 1:06:25Speaker 6: back in the Lizard Lounge writing the show. The genius
- 1:06:28Speaker 6: moment of like, so people who don't know the theme
- 1:06:31Speaker 6: of this is about, like why co pilots are afraid
- 1:06:35Speaker 6: to speak to the main pilots because so many plane crashes.
- 1:06:41Speaker 6: He found transcripts where the co pilots were either told
- 1:06:43Speaker 6: to be quiet or the copilots say nothing.
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: And he's trying to understand why.
- 1:06:47Speaker 5: Well he was trying he was trying to make some
- 1:06:49Speaker 5: connection between aviation safety and the relationship between the pilot
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: and co pilot. And he's saying, they're they're afraid to
- 1:06:56Speaker 5: speak to each other and because of like the dynamic there.
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well sorry, go ahead, Ryan.
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: Go ahead. Please.
- 1:07:03Speaker 6: No, He's saying, like, the amazing thing about this show
- 1:07:05Speaker 6: is like, you get so involved in what like because
- 1:07:08Speaker 6: just Nathan, if who Nathan isn't what he's doing with
- 1:07:10Speaker 6: it that like when episode three or four, he's like, well,
- 1:07:16Speaker 6: there was one scenario where the main pilot did ask
- 1:07:19Speaker 6: the copilot and they just show the plane land in
- 1:07:22Speaker 6: the Hudson from Selly and you're like, holy shit.
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: And then they show Nathan reading the transcript.
- 1:07:28Speaker 6: And then there's just an entire episode that is the
- 1:07:30Speaker 6: life story of Sully, which is just and it is
- 1:07:33Speaker 6: just the most deranged shit ever. It is just absolutely incredible.
- 1:07:39Speaker 6: And I thought, like, you, how can you go more
- 1:07:41Speaker 6: weird and more insane? And the show just does I
- 1:07:44Speaker 6: won't say what. Obviously, the big thing that happens in
- 1:07:46Speaker 6: the season, my favorite thing is when he's he's still
- 1:07:50Speaker 6: doing his rehearsal experimentations with people acting our real life scenarios.
- 1:07:54Speaker 6: And he has one guy going on a date and
- 1:07:56Speaker 6: Nathan tries this new strategy called the swarm.
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: I could not stop laughing at this. I rewound this
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: like four times.
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: Ryan, you can talk about the big Thing without spoiling
- 1:08:05Speaker 4: this show?
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: Well wait, wait, can I just this is gonna be
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: tied to the big Thing, just to provide a little
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: more context if people just don't know what we're talking about.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: So Nathan Fielder is a Canadian comedian who made Nathan
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: for You, which is one of my favorite shows of
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: all time. Then he made the rehears I know, I know,
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to say that. It's it's my studio,
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: all right, And the rehearsal season rehearsal season one is
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: about how he is like sort of terrified of human interactions,
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: so he wants to rehearse human interaction Yeah yeah, before
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: actually go having it. And after the rehearsal season one,
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: which was so good and so insane that when they
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: announced there's gonna be a season two, I thought, how
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: are they going to do this? There's no way that
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: it could be better. Where are they going to go
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: with this, and I never would have expected they went
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: in this direction, and it actually was better than the
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: season one. Like Ryan said, it completely blew me away.
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: But it's about this is this is like because the
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: whole saying the Andy kaufmanness of Nathan where you do
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: not know what is real and what is fake. More
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: than anything you have ever seen in your life, you
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: do not know what is real and what is fake.
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: And it starts off as a it's a documentary about
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: how many plane crashes are about how the pilot and
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: the copilot don't know how to appropriately communicate because they
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: have no training in that, and that's a real thing.
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: And he actually presents legit evidence that convinces you that
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: is really the case. The head of the FAA, Yes, yes,
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: and it's you're convinced that really is the case, and
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: he's like trying to lobby the FAAA to give them
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: training in this. Then it turns into about how he's
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: so fascinated at this because he's bad at human interaction,
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: and then that turns into how people who have autism
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: are bad at human interaction. Then it turns into how
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: in real life Nathan Field, or in real life might
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: be autistic and he he like goes to get tested
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: to potentially get really actually diagnosed for the first time
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: with autism on the show, and you're like, what is happening?
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: What is happening? It is insane in the best way.
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: And there are so many moments Ryan he goes off
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: on these like side quests. And when they were they
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: were trying to recreate this dog's life, so and the
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: they were filming, they were filming it in LA but
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: the dog grew up in San Jose. So they they
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: paid to have a truck drive to San Jose vacuum
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: up air, filling the truck with San Jose air. Then
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: they drove the truck to the studio in LA and
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: released the San Jose air in the studio in LA.
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: That is fucking crazy. Range there's nothing on that.
- 1:10:43Speaker 4: When he he he he has he built the giant
- 1:10:46Speaker 4: baby scene when he's in the in the crypt to
- 1:10:48Speaker 4: scale or yeah, the whole stuff with the dog. The
- 1:10:50Speaker 4: thing that you said him that struck me was after
- 1:10:53Speaker 4: season one you wondered how he was going to do
- 1:10:55Speaker 4: the next thing, Like you can no longer ask that
- 1:10:56Speaker 4: about Nathan Fielder, like there's anything He's possible right with
- 1:11:01Speaker 4: with with what he's pulling off in the show. This
- 1:11:03Speaker 4: would have been my number two. I forgot it was
- 1:11:04Speaker 4: this year.
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: And it was almost like he somehow made this gift,
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: like for me and Ryan. But he's obsessed with Sully
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: and how Sully was so cool under pressure, and he
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: was like the one time the plane didn't crash, and
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: he discovered that Sully often listened to his iPod during flight,
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: which you're not supposed to do. And there's in the
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: in the radio transmission when Sully landed the plane on
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: the Hudson, there's this gap in time, and the gap
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: in time perfectly matches the length of the Evanescence song
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: that was on Sully's iPod. What is the name of
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: the song? Ryan, I'm blinking, bring me to Life, Bring
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: me to Life, the one can't wake up, Wake me
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: up inside? And this this like I was fucking dying.
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: I remember one time I bought bet. This was like
- 1:11:53Speaker 1: five years ago or more. I texted Ben, hey, I'm
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: buying you a president, not telling you what it is.
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: Where should I ship it? And he said ship it
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: to my office, don't ship it to my apartment. And
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: I was like, your funeral so Ben said that he
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: was at his desk and they're like, Ben, you have
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: a package, And in his like cluster of desks in
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: front of other people, he opened up an enormous like
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: triple XCEL Evanessence T shirt and everybody was like, oh cool, Ben,
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: like you love Evan Essence. That was amazing, amazing that.
- 1:12:23Speaker 6: He did this brilliance too to have that correspond with
- 1:12:26Speaker 6: the Canadian Idol show and then in real life on
- 1:12:31Speaker 6: Jimmy Kimmel, the girl who won Canadian Idol appears on
- 1:12:34Speaker 6: Jimmy Kimmel and Nathan comes out on that episode and
- 1:12:38Speaker 6: I love He's like, oh, I'm usual guest is whatever
- 1:12:40Speaker 6: the girl's name is. And Nathan's reaction is amazing, Oh,
- 1:12:43Speaker 6: no way you booked her.
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: Like she's exploded since the show came out.
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimme. Jimmy Kimmel's reaction to Nathan is so amazing.
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: He loves Nathan because he's just like this guy definitely
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: does nuts, Like I don't I don't understand him, I
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: can't possibly know him, but I want him to come
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: on my show because he's a fucking nutcase but really good.
- 1:13:04Speaker 5: Sorry the clutx of it all is that he's one
- 1:13:05Speaker 5: of the few people doing comedy different. He found a
- 1:13:08Speaker 5: way to do comedy different than anyone else, and it
- 1:13:11Speaker 5: doesn't happen very often.
- 1:13:12Speaker 6: People cannot even copy it, let alone come close to it.
- 1:13:15Speaker 6: It's just not even possible.
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: On my like comedy Mount Rushmore, And it could be anything.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: It could be stand up, it could be from a
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: television show, a movie, anybody like the It would be
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: Norm McDonald will be the first face on Rushmore. Number
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: two would be Nathan Fielder. For me, there's no one
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: even close to being a number two as Nathan Fielder,
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: Like you guys think truly, I truly believe he's a genius.
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: I'm not kidding.
- 1:13:41Speaker 5: Did you guys see the documentary on Albert Brooks.
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: I saw trailers watch it.
- 1:13:47Speaker 4: Yeah, that he reminds me of Albert Brooks, Like he's
- 1:13:51Speaker 4: just willing to try anything, and he has no fear,
- 1:13:53Speaker 4: and he's just he's just doing it different.
- 1:13:56Speaker 5: He's doing his own thing. And it reminds me of
- 1:13:58Speaker 5: that sort of thing because what Albertrooks did, what he did,
- 1:14:00Speaker 5: he was kind of the only one ever did what
- 1:14:01Speaker 5: he did. And yeah, and the talk show thing with
- 1:14:05Speaker 5: Kimill reminds me of when Albert Brooks used to go
- 1:14:07Speaker 5: on the talk shows.
- 1:14:08Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, this the show's unbelievable, unbelievable. Do you guys?
- 1:14:14Speaker 4: Do you guys watch John Wilson?
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: So I have you? And Ryan turned me on to him,
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: and I haven't seen every episode, but they're like every
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: time I go to New York. Now there's an episode
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: about scaffolding and that like, scaffolding has ruined Manhattan. It's awful,
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: and it no, not all cities, no, because it's not
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: nearly the same because the regulations in laws in Manhattan
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: are so different. Like Boston you rarely see scaffolding compared
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: to how frequently it appears in Manhattan. And that episode
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: I absolutely loved. And he was like I was researching
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: different kinds of scaffolding things or whatever however he phrases it.
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: And then it shows that he's watching gay horn of
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: like two construction workers fucking in scaffolding all that. But yeah,
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: that shows great, that shows great.
- 1:15:00Speaker 4: Yeah. The reason why he's connected to that, right, Ryan,
- 1:15:02Speaker 4: am I right?
- 1:15:03Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:15:03Speaker 4: Naked Fielder he produced it. Yeah, there's a.
- 1:15:08Speaker 5: Movie coming out this year that's called What Is Concrete?
- 1:15:12Speaker 5: Or the History of Concrete, The History of Concrete, and
- 1:15:14Speaker 5: it's it's John Wilson movie. And I read a review
- 1:15:17Speaker 5: and it said it's him just doing an hour and
- 1:15:19Speaker 5: a half version of his TV show, which is all
- 1:15:21Speaker 5: in all in so, but it's that's a level of comedy.
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, again, this is just like a one reversal.
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: Season two is a once in a lifetime television show.
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: For me, this was an easy slam dunk number one
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: for the year, but so very good taste, Ryan, I
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: improve your choice for once.
- 1:15:44Speaker 4: Can we do bad shows real quick?
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: I don't have any of that I want to talk about,
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: but go for it.
- 1:15:50Speaker 4: I for one. Jason Kingston, if you're listening, you told
- 1:15:52Speaker 4: me to watch the show Paradise. That show sucked.
- 1:15:54Speaker 5: I'm probably gonna watch season two, but it sucked. Although
- 1:15:57Speaker 5: Stilly king Brown is the man, he rules, but that
- 1:16:00Speaker 5: just blows. Black Rabbit, which everybody told me to watch,
- 1:16:03Speaker 5: was awful with uh guy from Rest Development and Jude Law.
- 1:16:10Speaker 5: Uh who's Michael from Rest Development?
- 1:16:14Speaker 4: Oh my god? In the podcast, Jason Bateman, Bryan Jason Bateman. Yeah,
- 1:16:19Speaker 4: Jason Bateman and jud Law play brothers.
- 1:16:21Speaker 5: They own a bar and Jason Bateman is like the
- 1:16:23Speaker 5: drug adds loser brother and Jude Law is like the
- 1:16:26Speaker 5: womanizing sleep bag Worlds the bar awful, awful show. Uh,
- 1:16:30Speaker 5: but really good character in that show.
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:16:33Speaker 5: They're the the sort of bad guys in the show.
- 1:16:35Speaker 5: Were led by the guy who was in Coda, the
- 1:16:39Speaker 5: deaf actor who's the star of Putty on the Oscar. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:16:42Speaker 5: so that that storyline is pretty good with it. Yeah,
- 1:16:45Speaker 5: I think it's a mini series itself. Another really really
- 1:16:48Speaker 5: bad show that was a mini series which was like
- 1:16:50Speaker 5: incredibly past.
- 1:16:52Speaker 4: It had Will Forte and Pulman Domingo and Tina Fey
- 1:16:54Speaker 4: and Steve Carell, tons of tons of big name actress
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: the four seasons. Did you watch this?
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: No, So I was psyched to watch this because you
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: know that I truly I would die for Will Forte.
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: And I heard it was like awful.
- 1:17:08Speaker 4: One of the worst things I've ever ever seen. I
- 1:17:09Speaker 4: could not believe how bad it was. Yeah, and Pullman's
- 1:17:11Speaker 4: Mago was so good and he just it's just a disaster.
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: And then the other really really bad thing.
- 1:17:16Speaker 5: I know, I kind of differ from you guys on
- 1:17:18Speaker 5: this show in general, which I've been fine with in
- 1:17:20Speaker 5: the Past, but but I thought it was overrated. But
- 1:17:22Speaker 5: I thought The White Lotus was unwatchable, Like I could
- 1:17:24Speaker 5: not believe how bad it was. The shaar it was
- 1:17:26Speaker 5: nominated for all the actors then nominated for awards, and
- 1:17:28Speaker 5: I was like, why, I love Perry Kuhne, but she
- 1:17:30Speaker 5: shouldn't be nominated for that. And I thought The White
- 1:17:33Speaker 5: loadst was absolutely terrible to share. I could not wait
- 1:17:35Speaker 5: for it to be over the that's what ye.
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: I'm kind of on board where like we need to
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: pump the brakes of White Lotus. And this season wasn't
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: oh my fucking god good, But I don't think it
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: was awful by any means, Like I'm dread watching it,
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: and I'd continue to watch White Lotus, but I am
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: kind of moving in the direction of like, all right,
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: let everybody relax, like this is not reinventing television.
- 1:17:56Speaker 5: Well, so that's how I felt. Wait, so that's how
- 1:17:58Speaker 5: I felt first season, where I was like, Okay, it
- 1:18:00Speaker 5: was good. I enjoyed it, but then everybody's talking about
- 1:18:02Speaker 5: it was great show of all time. And then the
- 1:18:03Speaker 5: second season, I was like, it was a little better.
- 1:18:05Speaker 5: I actually liked it a little more. And then the
- 1:18:07Speaker 5: third season I thought was The Blind unwatchable? But uh yeah, sorry, right.
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: No, I'm saying I thought this season was very good.
- 1:18:14Speaker 6: I just thought this was like we talked about it
- 1:18:15Speaker 6: on the Pot with Mark, like this is the scene
- 1:18:16Speaker 6: where something they.
- 1:18:17Speaker 3: Were spreading it out, which bothered me.
- 1:18:19Speaker 4: Yeah, well, cast, I love the actors in it and.
- 1:18:22Speaker 3: That great cast was that it?
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: WHI shows you hated? Yeah, Ryan, did you have any
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: shows you hated?
- 1:18:29Speaker 3: I didn't do that as a list.
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't, really, I didn't. There was that one
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: year that I watched that Hugh Grant Nicole Kidman show
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: that I fucking hated, But I didn't really have a
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: show like that this year.
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: The Staircase that what that is?
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: No, the Staircase is a similar type of vibe. It's
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: like did a husband kill this person? But the Staircase
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: is a documentary.
- 1:18:52Speaker 4: Did you watch the show? I don't know if it
- 1:18:53Speaker 4: was this year, but it was a Netflix show with
- 1:18:55Speaker 4: Nicole Kinman and Ray Donovan. Uh leave Driver, Driver, Yeah
- 1:19:03Speaker 4: they were on like a house on the Cave.
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: Please please. On this podcast, we refer to him as
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: cotton weary.
- 1:19:10Speaker 3: It's true. Actually, Yeah, it's a great Poble.
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: No, I didn't be sure. I didn't see that it
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: wasn't good either, But yeah, yeah, I didn't have any
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: shows that I can think of that I hated. I'm
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: kind of out on Bravo. I love like Bravo. I
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: used to love Bravo shows, and I'm like, it's more
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: it's just the same, the same, the same, and they're
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: all awful people. So I kind of I quit Southern Charm,
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: I quit vander Pump Rules. I'm absolutely still into Summerhouse.
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: I'll watch Summerhouse and if it's on for forty more seasons,
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: but other than Summerhouse, I'm out on Bravo.
- 1:19:41Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm trying to think there's nothing really I watched.
- 1:19:43Speaker 6: Like I'm trying to look at my exceltion here. I'm
- 1:19:45Speaker 6: so pissed at Miss King of the Hill. I don't
- 1:19:47Speaker 6: know why this is on the fucking list too. I
- 1:19:49Speaker 6: watched forty nine shows this year, Yangs. All of them
- 1:19:54Speaker 6: are awesome.
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: I really, I really can't criticize you because the amount
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: of roller us her Tycoon I have played in the
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: last two months is really like a problem. Like I've
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: been neglecting my daughter. I've been playing so much Roller
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: Coach to Taccoon.
- 1:20:09Speaker 6: I'm so glad that's recorded. I always say to everybody
- 1:20:17Speaker 6: because everyone's like, do you watch the show?
- 1:20:18Speaker 3: I haven't. I I'm so bad at television.
- 1:20:21Speaker 6: I think because like with streaming and stuff, television it's
- 1:20:23Speaker 6: so easily accessible now that like I think if people
- 1:20:26Speaker 6: wrote down what they've watched over a year, they'd have
- 1:20:29Speaker 6: quadruple what I have.
- 1:20:30Speaker 3: I guarantee you.
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: Yeah. And also another thing with me is like, I, well, Andy,
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: you love video games, but I love video games, and
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: Switch is just so easy because you can play it anywhere.
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: You can play it on the couch while your wife
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: is watching stupid bullshit. So like when when they're scenarios
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: where I could go off into another room by myself
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: and watch a TV show, I'm probably just gonna play
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: video games on the couch while like Shannon's watching TV,
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: or or while CC's saying, like Dad, please feed me.
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: So that's why I think, like I play a lot
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: of video games, like more than I would watch TV
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: or movies these days these days. But also I travel,
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: I like I take the Amtrak and I fly, and
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: it's Switch is just like it's so great. I actually
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: was gonna lot, so exactly, Ryan, I texted, there's two
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: There was two things where before the nominees came out,
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: Ryan was like, Oh, I'm gonna you should watch this.
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: It's probably gonna be nominated for Best Picture. And I said,
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: I can't do it. Probably, I can't risk it because
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: I need to know it's going to be nominated, because
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: I can't like spare the roller coaster tycoon time for
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: a movie that's not nominated. And then also I said
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: it wasn't. What was it again?
- 1:21:43Speaker 6: I told you guys, I had watched Wicked for good.
- 1:21:44Speaker 6: I told you in Erica that it's probably gonna be
- 1:21:47Speaker 6: nominated and it wasn't.
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't. It didn't go nominate for anything. And
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: then the other one was I said, well, I am
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: raising a daughter and thousands of amusement park patrons, so
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: it's like out of the children. But anyways, so yeah,
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: I don't want to do advice because I think we
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: should just do twenty twenty five advice at the end
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: of movies. Sure, okay with that, with no further ado.
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: This wasn't that bad. It didn't have to be two episodes.
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: We're an hour and twenty minutes we're gonna go into movies,
- 1:22:17Speaker 1: which will probably be five parts. And thank you for listening.
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: Catch you on the fliggany flip.
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: Them talking always like a fast food be off, culture chaos,
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: and you saved me, crashing like a lost press stream
