- 0:01The sun is shining out a cloud in the sky. We wouldn't know because
- 0:07we're so happy inside. Some people on some skis, but we would rather

- 0:46the Avid Indoorsmen. Hello everyone, Hello, how are you sir? I'm
- 0:52doing well, buddy. Uh, just living the dream over here. How
- 0:56are you? I'm doing good. Our Vikings from Minnesota ended up winning a
- 1:02crazy game today, more fun than it seemed for a while. Yeah,
- 1:07I had low expectations and it was a hoot. It was and a holler
- 1:11I ventured also a holler, absolutely and it was exciting. I got a
- 1:18bunch of household chores done like during before. Actually, look at you.
- 1:26We got all of our patio furniture in the garage. We got all the
- 1:29leaves picked up. This I figured, I'm leaving for a week, and
- 1:36I was like, I should really try and get this stuff done. Yeah,
- 1:38there's probably gonna we're like you're playing with fire right exactly. It's going
- 1:44to be snowing any second. So it's like I should do that. But
- 1:49we're we're going to Nashville and I get to bring Kelsey down for a couple
- 1:53of days and we're going to go to the CNA Awards. We're gonna get
- 1:57all fancy, all be great. I always like that. That seems like
- 2:01a nice time. Yeah. Yeah, it's fun for the ladies for sure.
- 2:07And we get to usually chat on the red carpet and sing, you
- 2:12know, thirty second snippets and annoy all the other people around us. Can
- 2:17you guys get a band? Please? Can you come and stop this nonsense?
- 2:23Yeah, so it should be fun. Yeah, no, that'll be
- 2:25super cool. Those always seem like nice times, I mean busy right,
- 2:30Like I feel like they would be a lot of like hurry up and wait
- 2:35kind of stuff for it. I mean, the red carpet stuff is for
- 2:38sure, but then after you're done with that, then it's just hanging out.
- 2:40Then check out all the award shows and really good performances and you get
- 2:46to like meet people and sit by them. They get to meet pretty fun,
- 2:53which is great. Yeah, they get to meet me, That's what
- 2:54I'm saying. Do they ever come up to you and they're like, oh,
- 3:00you're friends with Bukes? Right? Have it? Endorsment? Man?
- 3:05Wouldn't that be weird? That would be fun, super weird, just like
- 3:07Blake Shelton. Oh you know Bukes? Wait, weird? That would be
- 3:15fun. I wish I could arrange that somehow me too. Don't don't get
- 3:21your hopes up. That's okay, not within my power. Okay, right
- 3:25on? Man? Well, hey, yes, have you watched any movies
- 3:30recently? I have? I watched a movie on Apple TV plus okay,
- 3:37Apple original film. It's called Flora and Son. Have you ever heard of
- 3:40the s? Yes? I think Sammy was telling me about it. Actually,
- 3:45I just randomly saw it one day as I was like, I feel
- 3:47like I need to watch a program, and uh gave it the old clicker
- 3:53Room and it was really fun. I really liked it a lot. I
- 3:54think you would enjoy it. Uh. It's a nice short little movie,
- 4:00ninety seven minutes, I think, beautiful, and basically it's about this mom
- 4:04and kiddo in Dublin, and she is just like kind of struggling and tries
- 4:14to she sees basically what's happening is he's like a teenager, you know,
- 4:16so they're not like meeting eye to eye. But she knows he's into like
- 4:21music and music adjacent stuff. So she sees a guitar that someone's like throwing
- 4:26away and brings it to him and he's like, I don't want that.
- 4:29So she starts to learn how to play guitar via like stuff on the internet,
- 4:34and then eventually she gets like lessons through the internet and it's really fun
- 4:41interesting, it's a nice time and then stuff happens from there. But it's
- 4:44it's a really sweet movie that's like way cooler than I thought it would be.
- 4:48I don't know, it was. It was really a fun, like
- 4:50very nice feeling movie, you know, like one that you'll come out the
- 4:55other side and be like, oh that's nice, rather than like heavy,
- 4:58you know how some of the movies are. But Joseph Gordon Levitt is in
- 5:02it. I haven't seen him in a long time, I know, and
- 5:05he was so lovely in this and it's it's kind of a weird part,
- 5:11but it's fun. I don't know, I really like it otherwise, Honestly,
- 5:14I didn't recognize a ton of other people in it. He was kind
- 5:17of the only big name, but everyone was so good, so nice.
- 5:23Yeah, it was really lovely. So Flora and Son on Apple TV.
- 5:27Plus, if you're looking for something to give a shot, that's a good
- 5:30one. It's not beautiful. It's definitely not a rom com, but it's
- 5:34it's it's a feel good, like almost coming of age kind of movie,
- 5:41but not super cheesy, which I don't know. I just really liked it.
- 5:44It's fun, cool man. Yeah, how about you? What have
- 5:46you been watching? Well? I watched one that I know you checked out
- 5:49in the theater. I waited until it got to Netflix. But it's the
- 5:55newer comedy No Hard Feelings with Jennifer Laurence. Oh yeah, is that on
- 6:00Netflix now? Nice? It's on Netflix now. Yeah. I actually watched
- 6:03it at the end of our Kelsey and I watched it the night before we
- 6:06left Greece. Yeah. So yeah, Jennifer Lawrence, Matthew Broderick, Laura
- 6:15Bonanti and some other people you'd probably recognize you can't name. It was pretty
- 6:19good. Man, the plot is a little flimsy, and I feel like
- 6:24some of the comedy is a little aggressive. But there were some times where
- 6:30I was actually laughing out loud, like some funny scenes. Yeah, totally.
- 6:34And it's a pretty nice date night kind of movie. But you know,
- 6:39if you're not looking for like a ton of depth, I saw them
- 6:44like going one route and then I feel like they just went, no,
- 6:47let's not do that, or maybe they cut some scenes out. Yeah it
- 6:51seems weird or something. Yeah, I'm with you. Yeah, it felt
- 6:57like they gave us a few things of like her background story that just didn't
- 7:01really go for whatever. Yeah. Yeah, but aside from that, there
- 7:09were still some laughs. It was a good time. It's worth checking out
- 7:11if you think it's something that you would like. Yeah, it also felt
- 7:15like, did you feel like a couple of times they were like, we
- 7:17don't really know, just scream the F word or something and then we'll we'll
- 7:21just move on. Yeah. Yeah, but there was work. But and
- 7:27that guy, the main guy, he ended up having this like beautiful voice,
- 7:30which was fun. How about that, right, Yeah, I'd be
- 7:34interested to learn more about that guy. I would assume he's in the Broadway
- 7:41Circuit. But I don't know, he's got to be. It seems like
- 7:44a theater guy. It's a fun little movie though that he was, all
- 7:47right, Yeah, it was all right. Have you been streaming anything fun?
- 7:50Yeah? So I streamed the new House Party that came out this last
- 7:56year. I think it's on HBO Max. Now I think is where I
- 8:00saw. Wasn't it about like Lebron or something? It is a different one.
- 8:03Yeah, so in this one, because you know, they did the
- 8:07House Party way back in the day with yeah, like in the eighties,
- 8:09Kid and Play, Kid and Play and yeah, the other guy I know
- 8:13their names, but Lawrence is in it. Yeah. I loved that movie
- 8:18back in the day, and I think they had more than one if I
- 8:20remember it. It doesn't matter. But it was super fun back in the
- 8:24day. And I saw that they had come out with this, but I
- 8:26don't think it was in theaters very long or anything, so I missed it.
- 8:31But yeah, So basically the thing is it's two buddies that are like
- 8:37trying to be kind of musicians folks, and they are house cleaners as they're
- 8:43like day gig and they are cleaning a mansion stuff happens, and they decide
- 8:48to have like a giant house party there and it ends up being Lebron's house
- 8:54and chaos ensues from there and it's actually such a crazy It's really fun though.
- 9:00Yeah, nice and Lebron I feel like, and I don't know if
- 9:03I'm I'm sort of a Lebron apologist because I love him so much, and
- 9:07I don't know if everyone feels that way. They say, he's got to
- 9:13be attached to this movie in some other way too, I would guess.
- 9:16But the stuff they say about him, and then the way that he like
- 9:18clearly plays along with the jokes you know, over time is really fun and
- 9:24it really makes me be like, it's just great. I love when people
- 9:28aren't afraid to, like, you know, make fun of themselves, you
- 9:31know. I love that. Yeah, and it's they have some really good
- 9:35ones in this and it's really fun. But yeah, a really great movie.
- 9:39I didn't know either of the two main dudes, I don't think I
- 9:43didn't. And then other people in it, I've seen them in the stuff,
- 9:46but I didn't, you know, no one that like really jumped out
- 9:48of me. But they were all really fun. It's a really good time
- 9:52and again another like I think this one's a hundred minutes, you know,
- 9:56but like you know, very short. Sweet, have a good time,
- 10:00get on And where did you watch that again? HBO Max, I believe
- 10:03is where I saw it on. So yeah, cool, it's fun.
- 10:05It's worth checking out, for sure, if you're kind of fine. How
- 10:09about you? Have you've been streaming anything? I have? I watched the
- 10:13New Comedy Special by Shane Gillis. Have you heard of Shane Gillis? Yes,
- 10:18let me, I need to look up a picture though, shame.
- 10:22He's the comic that was hired onto SNL a few years back and people went
- 10:26and sleuthed on the internet and found footage of him saying some pretty like off
- 10:31contact podcast or whatever, right mm hmm yeah yeah, and it got him
- 10:37fired before he could even start. But now he's like, I think I've
- 10:39heard him on a podcast since that? Isn't he having like a lot of
- 10:43success in sort of that kind of red comedy situation. Sure, I feel
- 10:48like I've heard that, but I for sure I'm mistaken for sure. Yeah.
- 10:52It's it's interesting because you could when you're watching his comedy, you could
- 10:58think he's either very conservative or very liberal, like I don't really know for
- 11:03sure what his ideology, which is kind of great. Yeah, but dude,
- 11:11So his news special it's on Netflix. It's called Beautiful Dogs, and
- 11:15I find him to be very very very funny. Was going to be on
- 11:20SNL. Well, he happens to have one of the best Donald Trump impersonations.
- 11:26I'm sure that's what he was going to ben because it is like it
- 11:33is spot I love that. But yeah, I mean he definitely goes on
- 11:39some topics that will make you like, are we going there? Maybe we
- 11:43don't know there, but just his delivery man and I mean it's it's certainly
- 11:48not like Nate BARGHETSI like, it's the whole family isn't gonna love it?
- 11:54That's pretty you know, off color and stuff, but still very funny.
- 11:58I was into it and that it was a fun special. Yeah, that's
- 12:03cool. It's cool, and there is a part of me that's like,
- 12:05you know, comedy, they got to push the edges a little bit.
- 12:07I get that absolutely, you know, that's cool. It also doesn't mean
- 12:11I have to like everything they say, but you know, oh totally,
- 12:13yeah, yeah, no, I love that. That's awesome. I'll have
- 12:16to check that out. That's fun. Yeah, it was a really good

- 14:33ago that they wanted to be on this and we were very happy to accommodate
- 14:37them. They have been known to play with animal crackers on each other's bare
- 14:41bellies, their pals. They dig for oil all the time and take from
- 14:46that what you will? You know, like, I don't know, but

- 15:22isn't it, Renygode free? Yeah, we knew we had to have you
- 15:28guys on for this one. So we're glad we're dead. You could make
- 15:31it. There's a lot of fiddling with Mike's happening, so everything. I'm
- 15:35sorry. I'm just our Our recordings are coming in hot. I was just
- 15:37taking the game. I love it you guys. We boy. When we
- 15:43saw this on the list, I know it was so fun. It was
- 15:48just an immediate, like we will do anything. Whatever, We'll do anything,
- 15:52like whatever you need us to do. Yeah, unbelievable. I don't
- 15:58know where to begin. Well, let's begin here. Benny Ellige is the
- 16:03voice you just heard, and he's got stuff that is percolating that we are
- 16:10not at liberty to discuss currently, so just be on the lookout. Go
- 16:14to his IMDb page. This dude's out here, he's working, and once
- 16:18things get going, we'll for sure let y'all know what's happening. Absolutely.
- 16:22Yeah. Unfortunately everyone sag after has been on strike for roughly one hundred and
- 16:26twenty days, so not a lot for us to do. Yeah, yeah,
- 16:32but it's hopefully we're making progress. People in the theater seem to hate
- 16:36me now, so yeah, some letters that have gone around, even though
- 16:42I've seen him, it's really something. I don't agree with it, but
- 16:45I do black, black, bald, and not the kind that you guys
- 16:51are used to. What are you talking about? Oh gosh, show alrighty
- 16:56like a pool thing? Yep, that was anyway, let's talk about a
- 17:00super fun movie. It's to talk about Armageddon. Armageddon? What a dream?
- 17:07Go? Also, it's a film. You're right, good film,
- 17:12and I'm sorry to everyone involved, but Rob, would you mind getting us
- 17:17started with just a rough synopsis? Pleased? I would love to. When
- 17:21an asteroid threatens to collide with Earth, NASA Hancho Dan Truman determines the only
- 17:26way to stop it is to drill into its service and detonate a nuclear bomb.
- 17:30This leads him to renowned driller Harry Stamper, who agrees to hellm the
- 17:34dangerous space mission, provided he can bring along his own hot shot crew.
- 17:40Among them is the cocksure AJ Harry thinks isn't good enough for his daughter until
- 17:47the mission proves otherwise. Wow was that a cold read? You rehearsed that
- 17:55cold? Wow? Completely cock? Sure he's cocksure? Sure, sure,
- 18:00surely? I am dead? Sure do I have to do? I have
- 18:06to cluck out? Cock shirt? I don't think. I don't think.
- 18:08So it's like a regular word, right maybe when I said maybe, when
- 18:12I said sure of, that is different. Right? Yeah, that's on
- 18:18me. Okay, great, that's on me. That's let's go for rotten
- 18:23tomatoes right now. Guys. Critics have this coming in at just a rock
- 18:29solid forty three percent. That's really bad. It's forty three. Is that
- 18:37the worst one we've ever done? No, no, no, no,
- 18:40We've done much worse. Which was I legitimately don't recall. Oh you don't
- 18:45have to remember three. I was going to say, I was. I
- 18:48figured they'd at least be like up in like the sixties. Yeah, I
- 18:52figure it would be bad. You guys got done cocktail because I think that's
- 18:56like six percent or something. Oh no, we had not criminal that.
- 19:00You haven't done cocktails. We want one, that one telling it we're in.
- 19:07I will watch that movie, any movie that involves in any way they
- 19:15it is. That's that's me again. That's on me again. But audience
- 19:21members, guys, much higher. Seventy three percent, that's not enough and
- 19:25okay, but people, we're getting there though, right, I take that
- 19:26though. I'll take take it. I'll take it. It's better than forty
- 19:30three for sure. But let's go into what we think of it. It's
- 19:33time for our hot take. Hot take, Speccy, that's a hot take.
- 19:41That's a hot take. Oh, my asteroid. That's fun. Right,
- 19:48we're all having a nice stuff. We're having a nice time. I'm
- 19:51sure about my asteroid. No, I questionable on that. I'll go first,
- 19:56on this one. I to this movie as a child. I thought
- 20:02it was a very very fun or a teen or whatever. You know,
- 20:04it's pretty old, so child might be appropriate. Five years ago, twenty
- 20:08five years ago. Boy it's old. But I think with the clear eyes
- 20:15of today, being an adult, we can all agree this movie is a
- 20:18disaster. It's it's got questionable science. It's over dramatic, it's nonsensical and
- 20:26insane. There's somehow fire in space. How did that happen? I don't
- 20:30know. They're sound in space. I don't think that's a thing. It's
- 20:33somehow easier to train drillers how to be in space than astronauts how to drill.
- 20:37I don't get that there's machine guns on the drilling machine. For some
- 20:41reason. It is dumb. It is the junk food of a movie,
- 20:45and I love every second of it. I think it's fantastic. Because I
- 20:48was about to say, you know what, bukes you can lean? I
- 20:52tried to do the flippity do there you did? Maybe because I have space
- 20:57dementia, but I think this movie is delight. I think it's super cheesy
- 21:02and super fun. I think it is the epitome of like grab some popcorn.
- 21:07Try not to think about that other stuff, have a giggle and enjoy
- 21:11yourself. And I really like it a lot. I think it's I think
- 21:14it's perfect. It is the perfect encapsulation of a Michael Bay nineties film in
- 21:21a lot of ways. My hottest take though, I think is this.
- 21:25I could have used a few more explosions. That's all I'm asking more explosions.
- 21:30Yeah, it felt it, only it lagged a little bit in the
- 21:33middle there for me. Okay, all right, No, not really.
- 21:37Not a lot of female representation in the film sot nude definitely not, nor
- 21:45do like any of his films. So I don't know what his personal thoughts
- 21:48are, but hopefully they're better than this. And also, Harry's loaded.
- 21:55He's got eight million dollars of equity in this contract, like this guy is
- 22:00yeah man on oil company. So we were debating that as to how much
- 22:06money Harry has, Well, he says he's got eight million of his own
- 22:11money in the project, but that could just be loans and stuff. He's
- 22:14the third generation oil and that's just in this this particular pros I mean,
- 22:18he can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. I think he's loaded,
- 22:22like it's just like renowned, right, he's so good at it and all
- 22:26this stuff. Yeah, he's like Jerry, but he's hands on, you
- 22:29know. Yeah, no so, but no, my honesty, because I
- 22:33really like this movie a lot, and I understand that it's not good,
- 22:34but I love it so much. Can I actually jump in at mytake?
- 22:38Then? Yeah? Just piggybacking off of Ugues? Sure? Is this the
- 22:42citizen Kane of over the top bad block Western movie. I mean, I
- 22:49think we have to have a discussion with Gone in sixty seconds probably and the
- 22:55lot, but it's up the rock is not bad. What are you talking
- 23:00out? Is a grounded in a story like this is just it's it's what
- 23:10you were saying, like facts don't matter, science don't doesn't matter, Like
- 23:15all that matters is just blowing up doing cool stuff like good San Andreas.
- 23:25You know, there you go. I like that you got more. I'd
- 23:32like to also jump in. Jump in, Well, I'd like to jump
- 23:34in because I'm actually gonna push back a little bit on this cool because I
- 23:40actually think for where we are now and for where Michael Bay has gone since
- 23:47then, I actually think this is a pretty I know this is gonna sound
- 23:52insane. A pretty grounded movie from terms of like acting and uh, script
- 24:00writing. I totally agree with obviously the science and all that, but like
- 24:04if you've seen the movie that came out a year or two ago, Moonfall,
- 24:08or like you know, like the third and fourth plus Transformer movies,
- 24:17I would actually say this is Michael Bay. Well, my big hot takes
- 24:22are one. I think this is the beginning of the action disaster movie as
- 24:30we know it. Technically Independence Day came before this, but that was Aliens,
- 24:33so slightly different. So I would say this was like our first big
- 24:38we just got good enough at CGI to really destroy cities realistically. And also
- 24:45I would say this is our first Michael Bay that we know today, because
- 24:51he did Bad Boys and that was still you know, that was he was
- 24:55getting there. But this is like Michael Bay as we know Michael Bay,
- 25:00and I think he was really going. I think that's why this movie is
- 25:03so good, why we all love it, even though it's ridiculous in the
- 25:06sense is what he's he just said, Like, the characters are great,
- 25:10the acting is great, there's there is a story, and a lot of
- 25:14these new movies are lacking in any sort of substance with you know, the
- 25:18characters. And I actually think a big difference in this movie as to what
- 25:22he would do later is he kind of let he got great actors and he
- 25:26let them kind of do their thing, as opposed to forcing them to act
- 25:30these really dumb one liners and stuff. And I'm not saying there isn't those
- 25:33there are, but right, but I think there's not nearly as many as
- 25:37we see today in you know, every rock movie, San Andrea, Skyscraper,
- 25:44that kind of stuff, like, because he's got so many legit good
- 25:48actors in this allout aside. I mean, the science obviously is wildly.
- 25:52He had good actors in that movie Six Underground. Did you guys ever see
- 25:56that movie? I actually did. I still have. I mean trying to
- 25:59get Benny and watch it for years. I've been meaning to. I thoroughly
- 26:02enjoyed it. It looks great. I did not There's no plot you did
- 26:07not enjoyt not like that one. I was gonna crap on it, but
- 26:11I'm glad. I'm sorry. I wish we'll just edit that up. But
- 26:19yes, that those are my hot takes, and hot takes. I love
- 26:22it. Well. I've loved this movie forever. I learned after watching this
- 26:27that JJ Abrams helped write it. Yeah, I didn't know that either.
- 26:33I had no idea about that. And he actually wrote a bunch of movies
- 26:34in the nineties that I dug a bunch which I had no idea. It
- 26:41was crazy seeing the twin towers that were smoking from asteroids hitting it. I'm
- 26:45surprised that they have kept that in since. And I never knew that was
- 26:52Charlton Heston doing the opening narrating until this last I didn't know that. I
- 26:57didn't know that now. Yeah, it was today years old, today years
- 27:03old. Also, it was nominated for four Oscars, yes for Best Sound,
- 27:07Best Sound Effects, Editing, Best Visual Effects, and Best Original Song.
- 27:11I don't want to miss a thing obviously. Yeah, I played that
- 27:17soundtrack out. I loved that soundtrack and had a bunch of Aerosmith tunes,
- 27:21but I was actually obsessed with that Chantal Crevass version of leaving on a jet
- 27:26plane. It was beautiful, nice. I also think the score of this
- 27:30movie is It's pretty great, credible, It's lovely, for sure. It's
- 27:34kind of like the Rock meets Titanic a little bit, totally yeah, and
- 27:40I feel like they were kind of going for that too with like the love
- 27:42stuff, oh very much, the rock. Yeah, it very much has
- 27:45shades of Titanic. I mean, obviously it's right after it so right for
- 27:49sure, same level to same level of filmaking totally. But yeah, I
- 27:56always knew this was a cheesy action movie. I didn't care. I was
- 27:59still super knew it when it came out. All of the actors are so
- 28:02great, they spent all of the money made something visually impressive. It's so
- 28:08Michael Bay with all the sweeping shots and like fast dolly shots. He does
- 28:12not like a still camera at all. Yeah, No, wants energy from
- 28:18those shots for sure. Right, and even if it's not scientifically accurate,
- 28:23that rarely affects if I enjoy a movie or not. That's almost never something
- 28:29that I care about. My hottest take Harry fires a j to go talk
- 28:37to NASA, and after that meeting, he immediately started his own drilling business.
- 28:41He has been like they were away for what one days? Three days
- 28:48days? Still ridiculous. We were we were theorizing about this. Yes,
- 28:52we were thinking technically, because we also were I'm gonna come right back to
- 28:59this. We Right at the end of the opening scene, Harry says,
- 29:03get him paid, get him off the rig right after the military people come,
- 29:08and I always thought he was talking about AJ, But then Renegade was
- 29:12like, I think he's saying it to everyone because you know, right after
- 29:15that they strike oil and then everyone goes away. So we're thinking, perhaps
- 29:21one the drilling team is different staff than when they get oil. Then another
- 29:26team comes in and they just pump oil and maintain the rig like drilling team
- 29:30doesn't make sense, and you could argue these guys are probably like independent contractors,
- 29:37like gig to gig totally, so Harry just like hires them per job.
- 29:41So you could make the argument that AJ already has this his own company,
- 29:45and then when when Harry gets big jobs, he just gets them all
- 29:48together. Makes sense. So we were just talking about this because yeah,
- 29:53we thought that. Also because that is weird. I believe this at least
- 29:57a little sign it's like AJ's oil or like it's so bad. I don't
- 30:03think you didn't even get that printed in three days. I don't think so.
- 30:06Also, we would look brand new. That thing looked like it was
- 30:07made in nineteen fifty four, Like what are we doing. He's rubbing oil
- 30:12on it to try and make it look old. So that's my theory on
- 30:18that. I like that, I think because it would also make sense that
- 30:22they all scatter as soon as they strike oil, because they're like, Okay,
- 30:25this job's done for us, the drilling team. Plus, you got
- 30:29to think they're the ones that have all the crazy training, like once they've
- 30:32struck oil, you know, the guys that just maintain the rig and keep
- 30:36pumping till it's gone. They don't really, you know, they don't have
- 30:40to be the geniuses that the drillers are. So yeah, I always thought
- 30:44he was just talking to aj there too, But you're right. That totally
- 30:45makes sense if it's everybody, because otherwise, why would they all be scattered
- 30:51already? Yeah, you know, but yeah, I love that. Brilliant
- 30:55brilliant. Also, I should mention the first time I saw this film,
- 31:00I was in high school, and there's a possibility I may have done some
- 31:06psychotropic hallucinogenic things that grow in the earth. Okay, fun And how it
- 31:11was that experience for you you guys in theaters in the theater, like in
- 31:15like a footloads it like an opening, like a full theater. Yeah,
- 31:19I think it was. I think it was the show place over in uh
- 31:25maybe I think it had just opened and it was a rapids like our coon
- 31:27rapids. Yeah, and it was. It was really badass. Yeah,
- 31:33And I'm not gonna lie the feelings that I felt. I bet I it
- 31:38was something. There's a lot of big swings in this movie, bro,
- 31:41I tell you what, there's all all every emotion felt right through my heart
- 31:47out my butt. It was out of control. Anyway, how do you
- 31:52feel when you see animal crackers? Now, I tell you what. I
- 31:56keep trying to put cheese on them, and I'm like, nope, nope,
- 32:00was right, it doesn't work. And then I think of live and
- 32:05it's not that in the Outback or whatever he's talking about there the Baby of
- 32:09the Best pillow talk. I do that to Stephanie and she's like, what
- 32:15the hell are you talking about? You to bed comes everywhere a fat pig.
- 32:21That's what I was wondering when they like, do you think someone else
- 32:24is doing this exact same thing at the exact samest moment? I hope?
- 32:28So? Like, do you mean like animal crackers sex play? Like?
- 32:31What are we talking about? I hope? So otherwise, what are we
- 32:34trying to say a question? I hope that I do it every night,
- 32:38just in case someone else is doing it and they want to scene. You
- 32:42know, you want to be that other person. I'm here to help.
- 32:46I do think they meant two people. But that's fine. Their life all
- 32:52live mine, how you know. But I think the moral here is I
- 32:57gotta start bringing cheese and stuff to bed. Yeah, now that can't be
- 33:01it. I don't like. That's not that's not Maybe don't do drugs.
- 33:08Maybe, guys, all right, I like where your head's enough, fair
- 33:14enough, that's good. I'm more on board with that than no cheese in
- 33:16bed. That sounds like that's no cheese in bed. Okay, we're not
- 33:22sleeping anymore than I guess that's true. Kids, if you're listening, don't
- 33:29do drugs. All they do is make movies awesome. Don't do that to
- 33:37yourself. Well, these are some hot takes. Hot take, I'm sw
- 33:45should we go ahead and talk about our favorite acting performance? Is the time
- 33:47to name the dud dude? I'm the dude, So that's what you call
- 33:52me, you know that or his dude or duder or you know, do
- 34:00to Reno if you're not into the whole brevity thing. All right, who
- 34:02wants to go first? Rennie Gae, do you want to go first?
- 34:05I can't. I feel bad. You guys never get to go first.
- 34:07No, no, no, no, yes first. That's how it works.
- 34:10All right, I'll go first. And if I steal this from Benny,
- 34:14I'm not going to talk about what you were saying yesterday, So we're
- 34:16gonna talk about it regardless. I'm gonna go Billy Bob. I love it.
- 34:23I think it's just I love his character. I kind of thought of
- 34:27him as like the lynchpin to the entire movie. I just think he does
- 34:31a great job of like his character. He has a respect of all the
- 34:36NASA scientists, he earns the respect of Harry and all the oil driggers.
- 34:40Riggers. He speaks to us in layman's terms, like I like, he
- 34:46always just comes in like someone's saying something scientific. It's the size of Texas,
- 34:50okay, Like right, I just think he controls the movie, and
- 34:53without his character, it doesn't move as smoothly, and it's not like the
- 34:59hardest part he's ever done, obviously, but I just think he just crushes
- 35:01it. And what we were talking about yesterday is that it's so not like
- 35:06a role he usually does. He's pretty much always either an extreme asshole or
- 35:13he's not usually like a straight nice guy. Sure, sure, and he's
- 35:16so lovely, like he's just a nice guy. And we're saying he's kind
- 35:21of got shades of you know, like Ed Harris and Pollo thirteen and sure,
- 35:27totally, you know, he just he's just it's just really nice.
- 35:30I'm like, he should have done more roles like this. I feel like,
- 35:34like you really like him, but it's also very like commanding and yeah,
- 35:40he's great. I think it's a great when do you have Benny?
- 35:47Well, God, I really liked that pick. That was a great thick.
- 35:51I mean you can do that as well. I mean this, you
- 35:53know, this movie's hard because it's like the Tucci list is just, yeah,
- 36:00the most psychotic one we've ever seen. So, you know, I'm
- 36:07just for a conversation's sake, I'm just gonna give it to Affleck because I
- 36:13think, especially at going into this time, you know, he was becoming
- 36:16a movie star, and I think even for the next ten years after this,
- 36:22I think he got kind of a bad rap as an actor, you
- 36:24know, maybe partially because of his choices and whatever. But I think he's
- 36:30really great in this movie. And I think it was his first like real
- 36:35just like Blockbuster leading man, you know. And I think he's great with
- 36:39Bruce Willis. He's funny, he has a nice chemistry with Live. You
- 36:45know, he's he's like the hot shot, but he's still very likable.
- 36:50And I don't know, I just think he does a good job. And
- 36:52I thought he always got a little underrated as an actor. Obviously he's squashed
- 36:58that as a director and actor. I think in recent years see Batman versus
- 37:01Superman, argos, but Argo's fine, but Batman versus Superman, tell you
- 37:09what? Who's Martha? Yeah? Uh so, Yeah, I'm just gonna
- 37:20say that's great. We can we can talk about his veneers later or whenever.
- 37:23He has. Just love that. Yeah, it was only a separate
- 37:27a separate pod. It is funny when you see goes hunting and then Weird
- 37:31Boston teeth into chick lits installed in his mouth. Perfect, It's incredible.
- 37:37They're so shiny, so shiny. Well, those are great picks. I
- 37:42went with. Uh, I went with Bruce Willis. And now it might
- 37:45be because of you know, all of his stuff that's happening right now,
- 37:52and I'm so sad that he's not in movies anymore. But I've I've always
- 37:55loved me some Bruce Willie. He's he's such in just a star. He's
- 38:02just always he commands the screen every time he's on there, and I just
- 38:07I believed him for most of the movie. I thought he's pretty great.
- 38:12Yeah, yeah, did you watch the movies that made us on Netflix?
- 38:17No? Oh, the Diehard one? Yes, yes, I did.
- 38:21It's just great because they talk about how he's like kind of the first like
- 38:23regular guy action hero. Yeah, he's like balding and you're right, it
- 38:29just kind of looks hungover. Yea, yeah, yeah, I love rus.
- 38:35That's also who I picked Rob. I picked Bruce Willie. He did
- 38:37my bald King leading the way for the rest of us that are follically challenged
- 38:44me for something else. But all right, I don't know what his personal
- 38:49life is like. He might be the bald King. I don't know,
- 38:52but yeah, I think he's just great in this. I don't know.
- 38:54He's like, he's super brash, but he's also got some feeling and has
- 39:00some depth to his character, which I think is super fun and I just
- 39:04like that that guy that's willing to be like, no, we have to
- 39:07do it this way. I'm telling you this is the best way. And
- 39:09I really value that. And he's funny in it, you know, and
- 39:13he like he's kind of the you know, the son that these other guys
- 39:16are all like, you know, circulating around and stuff, which is really
- 39:20fun. This crazy cast character. So yeah, I picked him. Nice.
- 39:25Well, let's go into this crazy cast. Let's pick a Tucci Award
- 39:30out Gi. It should be its own podcast. It's gonna be a lot.
- 39:35You want to go first, Benny sure? I mean we're probably gonna
- 39:40talk about this together. Yeah, because me and Gate have been talking about
- 39:46this for a while. We've watched it twice together in the last couple of
- 39:50days. So awesome. I mean, this list is like, who was
- 39:54the other one we had that was just a million people? I don't know,
- 39:59but this is a out as big of a Tucci list as I've ever
- 40:00seen, for sure, stacked impact, for sure. I mean every one
- 40:05of these people had a sweet career and it's crazy. So but we've just
- 40:12been talking about him a lot lately. I think I'm gonna say, Owen
- 40:14Wilson, that's who I was gonna pick. That's awesome because that well,
- 40:20we'll probably have to do some honorable mentions. Then I got one good honorable
- 40:23mention. We can have the let's just have the Owen Wilson conversation because we
- 40:27were talking what he did Bottle Rocket did Bottle Rocket, uh, Cable cableman
- 40:32or cable guy and Anaconda and before this we were like, this is the
- 40:37first time. And again credit to Michael Bay where he clearly realized this dude
- 40:42was really funny and was like, look, man, when we do scenes,
- 40:45you can just just go and literally every scene he's in he kind of
- 40:51steals the scene. He totally I'm every scene. Every scene's a good sign
- 40:54right when you're like, oh, I thought he did more in this movie
- 40:57because I remembered him so much more than what he act actually got to do,
- 41:00which is a good sign for them kicking ass because he's great and it's
- 41:05funny because he's such a weird unicorn, like with his kind of improv because
- 41:10like most people kind of go sarcastic or something, he's his is so positive
- 41:15optimism. It's so funny and like no one else does that. He's such
- 41:21his own thing, and I just love that Michael Bay recognized it was like
- 41:23look and you can kind of say it's genuine too. Yeah, it's not
- 41:27even like yeah, it's real. I just every like he has just some
- 41:31of the best lines of the movie, and I'm sure he made them up.
- 41:35And you can see why I would catapult him to becoming leading man within
- 41:38you know, total a year or two of this coming out, because what's
- 41:44ten bombs after this, I think is one? But like Meet the Parents
- 41:47is two thousands, and he comes in to Meet the Parents and steals that
- 41:52movie too. Yeah, it's just like so anyway, I'm saying one wasn't
- 41:55because we've been talking about it for a few days now, where this is
- 41:58like much like, this is our first real Michael Bay as we know him,
- 42:01This is our first Owen Wilson as we know him. Totally really,
- 42:06I mean yeah, So, I mean Anaconda is pretty great. His characters
- 42:14sucked. John Voyd won his Oscar for Anaconda, right that access is so
- 42:20it's so much. It was either Midnight Cowboy or it's one another. That's
- 42:29great. That's a great Do you guys want to pick another one too well,
- 42:32so that I had Owen as well. Well. But uh, here's
- 42:36a here's one. I don't think anyone's got Crazy Willie bro Yo, I
- 42:40tell you what, it's crazy make an appearance in the film. Not in
- 42:45the film, but he's the guy who plays pranks apparently on Harry that are
- 42:49so elaborate that possibly he hires a military holocaut opter to come to the rig
- 42:54to prank him. What else has crazy Willy done to Harry? They he
- 43:00thinks this military helicopter and this incredible group of actors pops off and is like,
- 43:06you need to come with us, sir. I'm like, damn,
- 43:08crazy Willy, what have you done to Harry? I'm afraid I don't know,
- 43:12Crazy Willy. I'm dead serious. I'll tell you what anytime anyone says
- 43:17anything to me anymore, I'm like, crazy Willy puts you up to this,
- 43:21because I'll tell you what. I said it to a cop last week.
- 43:25Yo, that's legit, Crazy Willy. We need the backstory on crazy
- 43:30Willie because boy, he's got Bruce Willi's believe and everything that happens that at
- 43:38the end, it's crazy Willy prayed the play the whole time. It's just
- 43:42a fake astro. There was no astro. Crazy Willy is on the astroid,
- 43:45crazy Willy Man. Thank god I chose the Independent to run. Oh
- 43:53man, what Inspirezy? You take that whole ass? You are good,
- 44:00you are crazy, You're crazy? Oh man, that is dead man,
- 44:09he's dead. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. I don't even think he's
- 44:20gonna go hard. But I'm really sorry. That's really really into that.
- 44:29That's all I got, And thanks for stopping by everyone. Yeah, that's
- 44:32a mic drop. That's a mic drop right there. You guys thought that
- 44:36was real. There was a machine gun on the drilling machine. Wow,
- 44:40it's pretty great, dude. Oh that's fantastic. Oh my Rob, you
- 44:46get to follow that up? So that's fine. I can't. I mean,
- 44:49I for sure I picked Owen Wilson for everything that those guys said.
- 44:53Then would have gone Ben Affleck, which we've talked about at length. You
- 45:00know, let's give Will Patten some love. I'm a Will Patton fans have
- 45:07been for a long time. It's probably from this movie. Actually, yeah,
- 45:12but I just I love his vibe so much, and it's it's pretty
- 45:17similar in everything that you see, Like he I feel like Will Patten's kind
- 45:21of being Will Patten in everything, but it works. And yeah, I
- 45:27don't have a lot to say about about him, but he's solid. That's
- 45:30all I got. He's great. I think he's great. He's so perfect
- 45:35and like trying to calm Harry down to which I think is so fun.
- 45:39I love that. Yeah, that's a great pick. I would have picked
- 45:45all those people, So this is really something. I'll say. I live
- 45:49Tyler. Then she's fantastic in this. I think she doesn't get like a
- 45:52crazy lot to do, but more than every other woman in the movie,
- 45:57I guess, So that's cool, and she's just delightful. I don't know,
- 46:00like I bought every time she fought back. I bought her feelings about
- 46:06you know Ben Affleck and her dad, you know, Bruce Willis. I
- 46:09think she's awesome in this. I liked it a lot. I love it,
- 46:14and I've never wanted to be an animal cracker more than that scenes.
- 46:19But just to run through Michael Clark Duncan amazing, unbelievable, freaking Steve Buscemi
- 46:27needs no discussion, Like too too many mentions of I didn't know how old
- 46:31she was for me, but yeah, we really went to that well a
- 46:36lot. Peter storm Mayer crushes everything. Ever, he's so good. Keith
- 46:40David crushes everything. And I want special shout out for my guy Jason Isaacs.
- 46:47Yeah, because I feel like he's super sweet in his two little scenes
- 46:52in this movie, and he's dope in The Patriot. Yep. Great bad
- 47:00guy, bad guy obviously nice. Yeah yeah, Malfoy guy. Right,
- 47:07Yeah, he's dynamite, but his little scenes in this movie are like,
- 47:10who's this guy? I also really like that William Fichtner guy. Yeah,
- 47:17yeah, he's really good man. That dude's I m d must be.
- 47:22Just shout out to all of my prison Break fans out there. No one
- 47:28nobody ever seen prison Breaks. Season one is great. You can probably turn
- 47:31it off after that. Okay, but Williamner was in season one. Yeah,
- 47:36actually I think it does a compantill season two. But okay, nice.
- 47:39Yeah, I've always who you're from. You and your friends are dead
- 47:45dark Knight. Yeah. I was gonna say, I mean his im dB
- 47:47I'm sure is insane. It must be just just so sure. He's so
- 47:52great. Yeah, who else? List? Ken Hudson Campbell as Max was
- 47:59kind of on that guy was cool. I don't really know him from anything
- 48:02else. I think he's in Seinfeld at some point. Dude, he was
- 48:07wasn't he the Santa like in uh yes, home Alone. Yeah, got
- 48:15a little get together to get grown Hawk day too, the first day of
- 48:20Spring Spring. Yeah. I thought it was funny seeing Eddie Griffin just in
- 48:27that opening, like, uh, when the Asteroids are coming into New York
- 48:31City. That was very funny. And then I'm pretty sure that it's hanging
- 48:36with mister Cooper dude Mark Curry and agreed, which is super fun. I
- 48:42was taken aback by that. I was like, WHOA, totally didn't remember
- 48:46Ellen Cleghorn from Saturday Night Live. I know, yes, that's the amazing
- 48:53April I brought Judith Hogue. Yeah, I know that was her. I
- 49:00forgot to say that. Yeah. Yeah, also that which is amazing.
- 49:06April quit quit reporting, moved and married an addicted gambler and had a child.
- 49:13And that was that. And then the one I blew Renegade's mind with
- 49:20was the guy when they're in the training sequence and he's the guy with the
- 49:23crazy eyes interviewing everyone, and I was like, Gaye, do you know
- 49:27the only other movie the stude's in that I can think of. Do you
- 49:30guys know what it is? I know what it is? What is it?
- 49:34Detect? I did not get it? Nice. I'm sorry again,
- 49:38mister I'll have the plumbing checked immediately, mister Ace, sure that you do.
- 49:43If I was drinking out of the toilet, I might have been killed.
- 49:49So great, Yeah, John oh Man immediately. That's the only thing
- 49:54I've seen that guy, me too. Very Yeah, that's fun. Also,
- 49:59is the president in this the president in the rock too? I read
- 50:04that. We didn't look it up, but we're ninety Remember that name though,
- 50:10I just saw that in the trivia. Oh yeah, maybe, okay,
- 50:14maybe to Stanley Anderson. That's his name, stan Lee, his character
- 50:20name President President. It was a pretty great little speech he had too.
- 50:24That was fun. Yeah. Definite shades of Independence Day for for sure.
- 50:30We will not go quietly and wait. No, nothing, that's not cool.
- 50:34Yeah yeah. Lots of people in this crazy big cast. Well why
- 50:39don't we go to some of these scenes, guys, Let's pick. Let's
- 50:42pick the dingus. The Dingas sons is quite simple, really, Dingus Dingus.
- 50:47I can talk about my dingas all night long. Favorite scene who wants
- 50:53to go first red again. Uh sure, show us to a couple,
- 50:59or I want you to do one and then we can talk about them.
- 51:04All right, I'm gonna do one and then I'm gonna do a little hypothetical
- 51:06then. Uh. I really like the explaining to the oil drillers when they
- 51:12come, when Harry explains them what they're gonna do, and they all,
- 51:15you know, they all go around and say that they're they're in you know
- 51:19what I'm talking about at the conference table right into that. Their demands for
- 51:24doing it. Sure, yep, the parking tickets, blah blah. I
- 51:30love the Bear. He wants to spend spend the summer in the Lincoln Bedroom
- 51:35of the White House. So here's the thing is, if this movie was
- 51:38done today, this would be a post credit scene. Would be Bear waking
- 51:44up, getting out of bed in his thong underwear, opening the window to
- 51:50show that he's in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House for the summer,
- 51:54the entire summer in his leopard print to full. He like grabs a tally
- 52:00so like, I'm just gonna go for a dip in the That is incredible.
- 52:04But yeah, I love that, say though, like Bruce like reading
- 52:07off their lists of requests is a great list. They came up. Yeah,
- 52:12so lovely. We also thought it was funny that Oscar just wants his
- 52:16parking tickets taken care of. We're like, what's that, like a thousand
- 52:20dollars or something. It's like fifty six tickets in seven states. Maybe a
- 52:25couple of warrants in there. Yeah, oh my god, that's funny.
- 52:31Yeah, that's fantastic. Wow, what do you get me? What do
- 52:37I have? This is hard? I mean, I love now I'm just
- 52:50gonna go with the secondary protocol. Oh yeah, they come back they just
- 52:58started uh yeah, they just started drilling or come back up because they got
- 53:04a change of transmission already there. They've just been at it. Colonel Sharp's
- 53:07like, what's our depth? Blah blah blah, and he just wants to
- 53:09help. And then he's like, we're supposed to be at two hundred feet
- 53:13and he's like we're at fifty seven feet, so blah blah blah. And
- 53:15then Colonel Sharp initiates secondary protocol, which this all leads into, uh,
- 53:22you know, the nuke being armed, and who doesn't love a sweet disarming
- 53:29a bomb scene. It's and then it ends with Harry convincing him and then
- 53:35Houston, you have a problem. I love that scene. I love Will
- 53:39Patten's so good in that scene. Why do you have a gun in space?
- 53:44Everything about it's incredible. However, Secondary Protocol is the most asenine thing
- 53:50that's in a movie full of asenine things. It's wildly asenine. One,
- 53:57we've already determined that we can't just blow this bomb up on the surface of
- 54:01this asteroid, right, we won't do it lely determine that. Hence why
- 54:05we have a drilling team up here. Two, you still have six hours
- 54:09until zero barrier. You just started. So I'm gonna go ahead and assume
- 54:14in my non scientific brain that any amount of depth you can get is gonna
- 54:19be better than detonating it on the surface, which again we've already you know
- 54:22whatever. So if they don't reach their projected depth in the first hour,
- 54:29that the plan is to just forget the whole thing, I'm like, that's
- 54:34insane. Like Secondary protocol would be like, Okay, we're gonna take this
- 54:37to six hours. We're gonna take this to an hour before second zero barrier.
- 54:44Whatever depth we're at, we're gonna drop it and we're gonna go Like
- 54:47but I'm like, it's just the most insane thing ever. I'm like,
- 54:51why would this, why would this happen? It just makes no sense.
- 54:54Also, like, and I know we're not here to justify this film.
- 54:58No, it makes me laugh so hard that I'm like, this, really,
- 55:01this doesn't even make sense in the middle of this movie, that doesn't
- 55:05make sense, right, Like this just doubly doesn't make sense. Like,
- 55:09astronauts are usually badasses from the military, right, so, like I find
- 55:15it a little hard that they would get the drop on this guy. I
- 55:17mean, I know he's a roughneck, but sure still, I mean yeah,
- 55:22So all that said, I just think secondary Protocol is bananas and makes
- 55:28zero sense in any logic, even in Michael Bay logic, even in the
- 55:31logic of this movie. I think it's so strange. But I love that
- 55:36scene. Love it. I think it's like intense, kind of funny,
- 55:39yamb diffusal. Yes, Bruce Willis's speech, let's turn this bomb off and
- 55:47on the squad together, last second wire cuts red red. But I was
- 55:54like, when Max and Buscemi finally come up and it's just Bruce is choking
- 55:59out and she has a gone They the other guy. What did we miss?
- 56:07Miss guys? So where's where's Watts? During this we were talking about
- 56:13she just literally down trying to fix the ship for like seven hours. That's
- 56:16a really good point. She was just having really beautiful eyes. They thought
- 56:22they thought it was too many scenes that women were in in this get out
- 56:24of it, Like maybe we should have her get on out of here.
- 56:32That's a great scene that I did not think about. And you may have
- 56:36turned me onto making that my dingus. But the one that I chose was
- 56:39a montage and just montage you getting the crew together, man, that was
- 56:45that was almost my first assemble the crew. You got Michael Clark Duncan on
- 56:52his motorcycle, Come get Papa Bear, which is so great. Old Wilson's
- 56:57riding horses, Steve Boucemi's at the bar being creepy, Ken Hudson Campbell's getting
- 57:04a tattoo, Will Patton's gambling, and Ben Affleck has his brand new business
- 57:08of three days. It was they really moved on. Afflecks already been on
- 57:15legal Zoom. He's got the LLC together, totally made his sign whether it
- 57:22is signed, bought his his his Derrick's It's incredible. Yeah, very you
- 57:32fired this guy. He's a go get her, he go get it.
- 57:37Guy hasn't slept in three days, Harry, I've got six franchises already ready.
- 57:43Else else is just partying but very fun scene. What do you have
- 57:52that? I really love the bomb scene. I'm with you. I think
- 57:57though, my favorite is the the refueling at the Russian space stations. Okay,
- 58:04because he Lev is just hysterical this whole movie. He's so so fun.
- 58:08I love that character a lot, and like it's just like not going
- 58:14great from the very beginning in that scene because Lev is just crazy. But
- 58:19like you know, you get the drama of them getting trapped and then they
- 58:22have to scuttle obviously and all these things, and it just goes crazy.
- 58:27I love that scene. I think it's super fun. Yeah, it's a
- 58:30lot going on. It's great. Also you get then you get the nice
- 58:35sort of foreshadowing of like, oh, these marines are like they'll leave anyone
- 58:38behind there, like yeah, right, ready to just go. It was
- 58:42like the shots of afflecks screaming into the camera and nobody's seeing it in security
- 58:49security. This is the lever like the whole thing is so fun. Although
- 58:58I don't know where they went. Where did they go that? How did
- 59:01they bypass the door they go into like some sort of event or something?
- 59:05Right, Yeah, Well, because you know, he's been there for like
- 59:08a year and a half, I'm sure he knows knows inside out how to
- 59:12get around. So yeah, did you guys have any other runner ups?
- 59:15All? Right? Lots? I mean yeah, like you said, putting
- 59:19the team together is great. I love a training sequence one yeah, plus
- 59:23great, you know, hitting the sweet emotion that's yes. Yeah. The
- 59:30presidential speech with them, the presidential speech where the montage and everywhere in America
- 59:37it's somehow nineteen fifty five odd kids. Yeah, these people coming out of
- 59:43the out of the church looked like greasers or something like the shirts and yeah,
- 59:49they listening to like handheld radios. Everyone's listening like on the radio.
- 59:52The kids are flying like planes in their overalls with no shirts on with their
- 59:55radio flyer wagons. I don't know. Yeah, that was weird. They
- 1:00:02didn't show anyone just sitting on their laptop like this. We do have the
- 1:00:08internet, yeah, I mean, however, kind of similar to the assemble
- 1:00:14scene, the like their little like rum spring of free night that they can't.
- 1:00:19Oh yeah, well like before they fly and they're all like partying and
- 1:00:23Rock goes and takes out the mob money like the loan, which is so
- 1:00:30funny, and they're with all the strippers and all that. I just think
- 1:00:31that's super fun. Like that, that was fun. I think we got
- 1:00:37to give you know, the last like ten minutes some love true. Yeah,
- 1:00:40as cheesy as it is straws and stuff and yeah, and Bruce willis
- 1:00:45talking to Liv Tyler and Bruce willis a afflex lasst exchange. I mean it's
- 1:00:50pretty good. And her with her hand on the screen. Yeah, except
- 1:00:54like do they know that all these people are listening in? I know,
- 1:00:58can we get her a private room? There's like thousands of people listening to
- 1:01:01this private conversation. They can't risk those comms. Dude, they're in space
- 1:01:07on a rock. It's god, you don't know anything about science the coms
- 1:01:13working. Yeah. Yeah, they were also like he's not pressing the button.
- 1:01:17We got to go back and there was like a minute so they were
- 1:01:21going to be able to get back, and they did land exactly where they
- 1:01:24need to. We didn't even you couldn't even land right the first time you're
- 1:01:29gonna turn We're super buddy. He's like, I'm gonna go back goes like
- 1:01:32to what end? Yeah? Get at So, speaking of back to secondary
- 1:01:37protocol, I'm like, at some point, I'm like, you're not even
- 1:01:39gonna get this down there and leave. This is just going to explode.
- 1:01:43Now you know that right calls you just dying. But the fail safe as
- 1:01:46it explodes at the time right before. Then either way, like Colonel Sharp
- 1:01:52has got his priorities just all in a whack. I don't he does not
- 1:01:55understand time or strange for sure. And they had a machine gun, they
- 1:02:02couldn't have brought up some other explosives. Yes, it doesn't make a lot
- 1:02:07of sense the machine gun, for sure. The machine gun is so weird.
- 1:02:10Now, well, we do have a laser pointed machine gun. Do
- 1:02:14we need that? We don't have another transmission or another drill bit, but
- 1:02:16we do have this. Yeah, we brought this in lieu of more bits
- 1:02:22just in case, set it up as well, and then leave it by
- 1:02:28this crazy guy. That's it. That being said, that scene is super
- 1:02:31funny because then like they they tie him up to the chair, which I
- 1:02:36think is super good. Oh yeah, I love it and also completely unnecessary,
- 1:02:42but yeah, you know, yeah, that's what I think is funny
- 1:02:45about Michael Bay and a lot of movies that happened now a days in general,
- 1:02:50like inserting those comedy things for kind of no reason when you already have
- 1:02:58funny actors. Like the funniest part of this movie to me are just the
- 1:03:00actors when they're just kind of naturally being funny. And it's like the opening
- 1:03:06with Eddie Griffin and stuff. I'm like, it's fine, that's not that
- 1:03:08big of a deal. But it's like you don't even need it, you
- 1:03:12know, you don't need We could have had Steve Buscemi do something cool on
- 1:03:15the ass, like he didn't need to, that didn't need to happen.
- 1:03:17There's enough going on that we don't need to insert this like goofy slapsticky thing,
- 1:03:24you know, totally. I just don't feel like we need that at
- 1:03:28all. And I don't you know, like people get people deal with stress
- 1:03:32different ways, right, so if they're like super nervous, they're going to
- 1:03:36be crack. And I think there's a way he could have gotten real punchy
- 1:03:39and whatever, but still believable. Yeah, totally. And I'm sorry.
- 1:03:43When William Fickner read the line he's got space dementia, I'm like, am
- 1:03:47I really saying this? Is this real? You're stepping on best quotes?
- 1:03:52Sorry? Sorry, I am stepping on the touchdown call. That's that's a
- 1:03:57good point. We should probably get into some these quotes. Yeah, good
- 1:04:00call. Let's do some. Show me the money, Show me the money,
- 1:04:06show me. All right, guys, there's there's just a couple,
- 1:04:14so go ahead. There's so many. I mean, I didn't even write
- 1:04:17me down, there's so many. I mean, I'm just gonna say my
- 1:04:19favorite quoe of the whole movie. And that's all I really need to say
- 1:04:23is it's minus two hundred in the shade. It's blah blah blah blah blah.
- 1:04:28Owen Wilson. Yeah, oh so scarce environment imaginable. Right, that's
- 1:04:32all that's all you had to say, scarce environment imaginable. Thanks. Yep,
- 1:04:35that's the moment I knew I loved Wilson. That has to be him
- 1:04:41making that up. There's no way that for him, and you guys brought
- 1:04:45up such a good point. He's so positive, but he's like, oh
- 1:04:46okay, cool, that's all you say. Just say it's the scary you
- 1:04:49know, great, all right, I'm ready, let's go. It's like,
- 1:04:53okay, that's a response. He just said, God, that line
- 1:04:56reading is so funny. That's so good. Yeah, that's fantastic. Well,
- 1:05:00Benny took the fun one, so I'll take a couple of serious ones.
- 1:05:04I love the requesting permission to shake the hand of the previous man I've
- 1:05:11ever met. Oh man, it's good. I'm not crying. You're crying.
- 1:05:15That's a bugs boo who moment. And that Harry will do it.
- 1:05:21He doesn't know how to fail. Yeah. Yes, I love both of
- 1:05:27us. That's all I got for now. So a guy named Carl says,
- 1:05:33sir, I'm retired Navy. I know all about classified. But one
- 1:05:36more thing. The person that finds her gets to name her, right,
- 1:05:40said, Yes, Yes, that's right, that's right. I want to
- 1:05:42name her Dottie, after my wife. She's a vicious life, sucking from
- 1:05:46which there is no escape. Brutal, not a sweet garage, not a
- 1:05:54good marriage. Get the buck, Get the bucket. He's so mad.
- 1:06:00Just ask nicely, guy, Uh, is this thing of a weight limit?
- 1:06:04First of all, Max isn't even that big, Like give him a
- 1:06:08break with the weight limit comment. I thought it's really funny. I liked
- 1:06:12that a ton. Uh we said it earlier. But one more thing,
- 1:06:16none of them want to pay taxes again. Ever. Ever, that's a
- 1:06:23good one. That's a really good one. Oh. I like everything that
- 1:06:29Jason Isaac says. I mean, yeah, I don't need to say them
- 1:06:32all, but you know the whole Uh, like a firecracker on your hand,
- 1:06:38what will happen hand around the same firecracker? And then when he's when
- 1:06:43he does the I know the President's chief scientific advice that we were at at
- 1:06:47tea together, And in a situation like this, you really don't want to
- 1:06:49take the advice from a man who goes to C minus in astrophysics. The
- 1:06:54President's advices are wrong. I'm right, I'm right. But it's so cool.
- 1:07:00And the first time you meet him, when Billy Bob's like, this
- 1:07:02is so and so blah blah blah. He's pretty much the smartest man on
- 1:07:05the planet. You might want to listen to him. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:07:10that's fantastic. During the dingis, I was going to bring up one of
- 1:07:13my favorite scenes is like when they're strapping in to like launch, you know,
- 1:07:15with like Boushammi and everything. But then when they cut to going back
- 1:07:18to Owen Wilson again, to the ninety eight percent scared excited scared, or
- 1:07:25maybe it's two percent scared, two percent excited, night er scared. That's
- 1:07:30what it makes it so exciting. I'm not sure. But make mine really
- 1:07:33tight, like on the borderline, cutting off circulation, circulation. Look,
- 1:07:39she's young, she's exploring her body. Oscar, you are like five minutes
- 1:07:45older than Grace, I know, and that's what I know. What it's
- 1:07:46like to have your hormones flying around. Everything comes out of his mouth basically
- 1:07:54everything almost so good, so good, I do like Billy Bob's well,
- 1:08:02our collision budgets a million dollars and that allows us to track about three percent
- 1:08:05of the sky. Bigger, pardon serve, But it's a big ass guy.
- 1:08:09The big ass guy's so good. That's a great line. That's so
- 1:08:12good. I'm pretty sure it's Bushami who says the you know, we're sitting
- 1:08:15on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has
- 1:08:18two hundred and seventy thousand moving parts built by the lowest bidder makes you feel
- 1:08:23pretty good, doesn't it, Which is apparently a little pre trivia trivia.
- 1:08:28That is a thing. It's loosely based on a thing that Alan Shepherd said
- 1:08:32right before he launched on the actual space shuttle, which is pretty cool.
- 1:08:38It was neat that they worked that in. Even though I hate the whole
- 1:08:42gag, I do enjoy get off the nuclear warning. Yes, that's pretty
- 1:08:48great. Also Will Patton when he's like Harry, the clock on that nine
- 1:08:55foot nuclear weapon is ticking really good, really fun. Don't you have one
- 1:09:03from from April O'Neil? And what does she say? It's our favorite mommy
- 1:09:14the salesman. The salesman's on TV. That's not a salesman. That's your
- 1:09:18d's your daddy, that's your daddy. Like, oh he's cool now turned
- 1:09:29the corner. Yeah, it was a quick one. He was probably a
- 1:09:32horrible husband, let's be honest. Yeah, craps tables, Caesar Palace,
- 1:09:36yeah, for sure, gambling issues, yeah, I do like Bruce Willis's
- 1:09:44whole Like, and then you gotta have some kind of backup plan, right,
- 1:09:47No, we don't have a backup plan. This is it Jesus and
- 1:09:50this is the best that you, the government, the US government can come
- 1:09:54up with. I mean, you're NASA, for crying out loud, you
- 1:09:57put a man on the moon. Your geniuses. You're the guys who think
- 1:10:00thish. I'm sure you've got a team of men sitting around somewhere right now
- 1:10:03and just think someone backing them up. So good, so good. I
- 1:10:12also love at the very beginning it's chicking Harry. They're talking. He's like,
- 1:10:15I don't think you want to kill the best man on your crew right
- 1:10:17before we've struck oil. Oh, I'm not going to kill him. I'm
- 1:10:20just gonna take a foot off. A man can work with one foot.
- 1:10:24Remember old Frank Marshall worked with the one hand all those years. Well,
- 1:10:27yeah, but he wasn't very very good. I love that you learned so
- 1:10:32much about their relationship in that like seconds, you know, that's so great.
- 1:10:39Actually one line I really like it's real quick. But I actually do
- 1:10:42use it in real life when something is like an unrealistic timeline. When he's
- 1:10:45like, well, we've had him training for eight months, eight whole months.
- 1:10:50Like I use that a lot. If someone's like, yeah, it's
- 1:10:53like a week, I'm like one entire week. Gat. Yeah, I
- 1:11:00only had one more serious one, and that was at the end. It's
- 1:11:05like, Harry, Harry, you can't do this to me. It's my
- 1:11:08job, Harry says, you go take care of my little girl. Now,
- 1:11:13that's your job. Always thought of you as a son always. But
- 1:11:16I'd be damn proud to have you married Grace. That's nice. Oh god.
- 1:11:21I also love that Ben Affleck didn't try to go like he let the
- 1:11:28emotion take him in that scene, not like he didn't try to be like
- 1:11:30Stern or you know what I mean, like tough guy. I thought that
- 1:11:34was great. No, he's screaming and crying. Yeah, it's really great.
- 1:11:39Yeah, I thought it was great. I was filled with a lot
- 1:11:42of emotion the first time I saw it, and a lot of but to
- 1:11:50be fair, many sober times since. Also, sure, yeah, that's
- 1:11:54that's true. Well maybe that's a good segue into bugs boo who moments.
- 1:12:00I like it the crying game strong men, also cry strong Man. Also,
- 1:12:12I picked eight. You guys can let me know if there are more
- 1:12:15boohoos that I missed, I'm gonna go through them here. I went with
- 1:12:19the animal Crackers scene. Yeah, yeah, I said saying goodbye to Gracie.
- 1:12:31So when ye, when he says I love my life, scene write
- 1:12:40that one the end part, Well, no, not that it's early again,
- 1:12:45I'm sorry, So I guess it would have been around right before leaving
- 1:12:48on a jet plane when I think, yeah, oh yes, yes,
- 1:12:54when Gray says I love my life. Yeah, okay, gotcha. Sorry,
- 1:12:58Yes, that man's not a salesman, that's your daddy. Yeah.
- 1:13:04Yeah, I didn't feel great about it, but it did. The President's
- 1:13:10speech, Oh yeah, big time. I'm seeing that Owen Wilson died.
- 1:13:16Oh yeah, of course, Harry taking a j spot, Yes, Harry
- 1:13:24talking to Gracie. Yes, and the family coming to greet them, and
- 1:13:30aj Hans, Billy, Bob, the patch which is so great. Yeah,
- 1:13:35I love that. And yeah, the whole shaking the hand of Bravest.
- 1:13:41Yeah you got yes. Okay, I'm going to say, are we
- 1:13:47including the launch itself in the President's speech? Yeah, I counted all that
- 1:13:53together for sure. I'm going to say, when Bruce has William Fittner down,
- 1:13:59he says, you swear on your life, on your daughter's life,
- 1:14:02my family's life, you can turn off that bum. Yeah. Absolutely,
- 1:14:06I've never missed to death, for which I have hint I will make eight
- 1:14:11hundred feet. I will make it for whatever. He says. Yeah,
- 1:14:15absolutely, another one. That's another one. Uh did you say Max dying?
- 1:14:21Yes? We Oh, well I didn't say that's uh, that was
- 1:14:27a different one that we said. We said that said Max. I don't
- 1:14:31think Max dying did get me. Actually, yeah, that's because Steve Buscemi
- 1:14:35interrupts it, because he'd be an idiot on the thing, right, He's
- 1:14:39like, bim X, yeah exactly what wait, how many more do you
- 1:14:45have? Bukes? Two more? So eleven? When when AJ tells Harry
- 1:14:53that I got this at the end and he powers through the drill, hitting
- 1:14:57hitting eight, hitting eight hundred feet, Oh no, that did get me.
- 1:15:00At well, it's hard the end. I just kind of said,
- 1:15:01like the whole end. That's what we said the other the last thirty five
- 1:15:06minutes, the whole end. Your boyfriend's back. That's good. When AJ
- 1:15:14shows back up in the Armadillo, Oh no, that's about just when the
- 1:15:19first ship goes down and they think it's yeah, it's over for sure.
- 1:15:24That's one of them. And then one more one dang, yeah, there's
- 1:15:30one more and it's when uh lives when they tell live, maybe you shouldn't
- 1:15:38be here. I guess this is when the ship goes down. I guess,
- 1:15:41okay, yeah, it's like maybe you shouldn't be here. It's like
- 1:15:45I don't have anywhere else to go, sorry, gentleman. Oh, the
- 1:15:57other one was, if that's right, That one was included with what you
- 1:15:59said when he asked her to marry him. I thought that was a nice
- 1:16:01moment. I didn't think about that. Harry watches them like canoodling, which
- 1:16:09is weird. But yeah, yeah, for a little too long. Yeah,
- 1:16:13let's move. They didn't just pan over after that, and he's just
- 1:16:16sitting there. Also the other engine, the other but that was it.
- 1:16:30That was just eleven yea. Well, thanks for the help, you guys.
- 1:16:40Let's do a little movie trivia. There was a lot. Tried not
- 1:16:44to do all of them and didn't do a great job, so let's go
- 1:16:45through them. NASA shows this film during their management training program, and they
- 1:16:53do it because managers are given the task of trying to spot as many errors
- 1:16:57as possible, the most so far as one. That's incredible. I love
- 1:17:02that so much. I think that's great. The oh Apparently Ben Affleck asked
- 1:17:11Michael Bay, wouldn't it be easier for NASA to train astronauts how to drill
- 1:17:15rather than training drillers, And I guess all he said was shut up.
- 1:17:17Ben. Basically he pretty much says that in the commentary. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:17:23I've heard. No, that's a direct quote from him. Yeah,
- 1:17:28so it's true. That's hysterical. I love that. Let's see, apparently
- 1:17:33Bruce Willis didn't care for Michael Bay's directing style and had said before he retired,
- 1:17:39had said he would never work with him again, which is kind of
- 1:17:41wild, so it must not be awesome. I guess. Let's see,
- 1:17:46Michael Bay did have the actors write that list of demands that Bruce Willis reads,
- 1:17:53So those were all they came up with, all those, which I
- 1:17:56think is really fun and like we said, that was such a good list.
- 1:17:58I love that. It was super fun. Oh. Because of the
- 1:18:04patriotic nature of the script and the success of using Top Guns starring Tom Cruise
- 1:18:10as recruitment material, the producers persuaded NASA to allow them to shoot in the
- 1:18:15normally restricted Space Agency and this included the Neutral Buoyancy Lab, which was the
- 1:18:21sixty five million gallon, forty foot deep pool used to train astronauts for weightlessness
- 1:18:30and the use of two to ten million dollar spacesuits. So that's pretty cool.
- 1:18:33That's really cool. Yeah, that's neat. Apparently the part was originally
- 1:18:42pitched to Steve Buscemi as him being a heroic geologist, which he eagerly accepted
- 1:18:48because he was sick of being low lifes and just kind of skiz bags.
- 1:18:53And then apparently after he was cast, they changed it and rewrote the part,
- 1:18:58which is kind of funny, right. I mean it's funny because I
- 1:19:02love I love the idea that these guys are all like, yeah, rough
- 1:19:09and tumble, but they're super smart, Like when he lists me to Satan
- 1:19:12quotes, but when he lists off his like, you know, won a
- 1:19:15Westinghouse Prize at sixteen, double doctorate from MIT at twenty two, it's like,
- 1:19:20yeah, oh so you know. And that's that's why I kind of
- 1:19:23I think that's cooler than I don't know, yeah, no, I like
- 1:19:28I would rather given given him some sort of payoff other than space dementia.
- 1:19:32You know. It's just I hate that, I know, especially like they
- 1:19:35did such a good job when they overshot, He like immediately knew where they
- 1:19:40were and all that stuff. And he's like and he's like, because I'm
- 1:19:43a genius. Because I'm a genius. Yeah, Like because Captain America over
- 1:19:46shoreland and compressed iron fair right? Yeah right? Have you ever had space
- 1:19:50to mention all the time? Bro? Yeah? Yeah, then shut it,
- 1:19:57shut it, bro, It's tough. So yeah. I the first
- 1:20:00time he watched this basically what it is, I think you're right. Good
- 1:20:08call, good call God damn right, oh my god, they know.
- 1:20:20I thought this was interesting. Bruce Willis came to this film after he decided
- 1:20:26a comedy that he was already filming called The Broadway Brawler couldn't be salvaged and
- 1:20:30sought a way to exit the project. Uh, and Disney's head or then
- 1:20:35head of the company, Joe Roth, worked out a deal where Willis would
- 1:20:40star in Armageddon and then two future films, and in exchange, they'd absorb
- 1:20:45that Broadway Brawler the cost that had already been associated with it, Uh and
- 1:20:49just you know, write that off basically. And the two films that he
- 1:20:54made after that because of this was The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. So oh,
- 1:21:00he made a really good choice. Apparently it worked out he did.
- 1:21:02That's pretty wild. During the filming of this movie, cast and crew worked
- 1:21:08around nineteen billion dollars worth of equipment, including the real oil rig and the
- 1:21:15real space shuttle, which is crazy to think about. Michael Bay thinks that
- 1:21:20this is his worst film. I will apologize for Armageddon, he says,
- 1:21:26because we had to do the whole movie in sixteen weeks. And he said
- 1:21:30this in twenty thirteen. It was a massive undertaking. It's not fair to
- 1:21:33the movie, and I would redo the entire third act if I could,
- 1:21:36so see. That's funny because I had heard also at the time he legit
- 1:21:41thought this was going to be like like Oscar worthy ers, like a Titanic
- 1:21:45type situation. Of course he said that in twenty thirteen, right right,
- 1:21:49yeah, ye, fifteen years later, I'm sure Revenge of the Fall and
- 1:21:55is his worst film. Yeah, yeah, bro, you want to know
- 1:21:58your worst films will get again, It's not this. We've got thoughts.
- 1:22:06Also, did any the last Bad Boys movie? Did he eat and drink
- 1:22:10that? I don't think so. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
- 1:22:15The dog in the opening was trained specifically to destroy Godzilla dolls and they shipped
- 1:22:20the dog to the set at the price of twenty thousand dollars a day,
- 1:22:26and they had to hold cardboard boxes up in front of the Godzilla dolls to
- 1:22:30keep the dog from destroying them until it was time for action. I just
- 1:22:35thought that was insanee. Ben Affleck's teeth were replaced, like they noticed early
- 1:22:43in production that afflex teeth seemed like baby teeth in the footage they'd shot,
- 1:22:47and he notes that Bruckheimer had previously replaced the teeth of a very famous star
- 1:22:54in a plane movie and Affleck spent eight hours a day in a dentist chair
- 1:22:58for a week to get the teeth you see in the film now and they
- 1:23:01cost roughly twenty thousand dollars. A very famous star in a plane movie.
- 1:23:08Does he mean Tom Cruise, Yeah, Outsiders and stuff, Yeah out oh
- 1:23:17yeah, he's got bad teeth. Yeah, so they must have done the
- 1:23:20same. Interesting, that's a lot of that's a lot of worked. That's
- 1:23:26funny because we were we were saying we didn't know if this had ever really
- 1:23:29been corroborated. That apparently, at least according to MBB it heads, I
- 1:23:34don't know, And the teeth kind of speak for themselves. Stanley Anderson,
- 1:23:41who played Oh We Already, said that he was the president in the rock
- 1:23:45I did. I'm sure. Also, those teeth, you know, especially
- 1:23:46when they're brand new, it's like it's like the Friend's episode with Ross,
- 1:23:50Like, yeah, I'm sure they need a little time to look normal again.
- 1:23:55Probably just like Gleaming White. It's got to grow into him a little
- 1:23:59bit. Steve Ashemi referred to the Irony and con air about a bunch of
- 1:24:03idiots singing a song made popular by a band that died in a plane crash,
- 1:24:09and he was referring in that instance to Sweet Home Alabama by Leonard Skinnard
- 1:24:14and on armaged and they're singing Leaving on a jet Plane sung by John Denver,
- 1:24:17who also done in a plane crash. So I thought that was funny.
- 1:24:20Oh that's good. I didn't notice that, but I liked that that
- 1:24:24was fun And yeah, this is crazy. So according to Ben Affleck,
- 1:24:29the large warehouse like building at NASA is the it's the largest open air building
- 1:24:34in the world, and it's so big that they have to keep the air
- 1:24:38cold or clouds could form inside the building, and there's potential for rain inside
- 1:24:45of it as well, And I guess Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer also explain,
- 1:24:51like in the commentary that convincing NASA to let them like have their real
- 1:24:57equipment around and film around in the test facilities and stuff took a lot of
- 1:25:01work, which makes sense. So yeah, and money, so much money,
- 1:25:06I'm sure. Yeah for though, Yeah, those are our buddy Renegade's
- 1:25:14brother was saying that the big chamber they use is real too, and it's
- 1:25:17like the largest vacuum sealed room in the world. That huge door. Yeah,
- 1:25:21that's crazy to like, so they can simulate like the pressure in your
- 1:25:26suits. Hm, that's pretty crazy. And I think they only had,
- 1:25:30like for the underwater scene, like the footage that they actually did. They
- 1:25:34only allowed Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis to be in the actual pool for filming,
- 1:25:40and I think they gave them twenty minutes each and it was like if
- 1:25:44you get your shot, cool, if you don't, you're screwed, basically,
- 1:25:46which is pretty wild. M hmm. But they must have got so
- 1:25:50h that was all I had, Rob, Did you have any other trivias?
- 1:25:54I did? I saw Billy Bob told Michael Bay that he made his
- 1:25:58own backstory for his character her, and it was about him having crippling nerve
- 1:26:02damage as a young man and wasn't able to to be an astronaut. And
- 1:26:09he liked it so much that they went and wrote a scene and that's then
- 1:26:13they have him with the metal brace on. That was all that was all
- 1:26:17Billy Bob's idea. Really, Yeah, that's cool. I liked that because
- 1:26:23the patch thing was so fun it. Yeah, the patch thing is and
- 1:26:27we're saying it's funny because they only show the leg brace is like a real
- 1:26:31quick and I'm like, God, Michael Bay, you can make subtle filmmaking
- 1:26:34choices. I didn't know this, Yeah, because Billy Bob, who is
- 1:26:40a director, got an idea. Yeah. I saw that the original script
- 1:26:45didn't include the romantic subplot between Aj and Grace and instead had more emphasis on
- 1:26:51Billy Bob's character. Oh, it was added after the successive Titanic with with
- 1:26:59teenage girls. Most of the romantic scenes were written by Scott Rosenberg and were
- 1:27:02filmed late in production. Well, I think that was a good decision.
- 1:27:06Yeah, yeah, I like that. I tell you what we take out
- 1:27:10Steve Buscemi getting space dementia. We give one more scene to Billy Bob.
- 1:27:15Wait, so you're saying there's gonna be a love interested in Billy Bob and
- 1:27:16Liv Tyler. No, no, there was gonna be no oh no,
- 1:27:20okay, yeah, so like Grace, was Grace even a character? Do
- 1:27:24we think it does matter? I think he does. Yeah, I'm not
- 1:27:29sure. I think that's very important. It's a big part of the movie,
- 1:27:32which is especially given the like Bruce Willis's decision at the end, Like
- 1:27:36that's like the kind of emotional crux of the whole thing. Yeah, totally.
- 1:27:42So that was surprising. I saw that the scenes on the oil rig
- 1:27:45were shot on an actual oil rig, like a real one. It was
- 1:27:48like a four hundred million dollars oil did a lot of cool stuff, and
- 1:27:51they shot during a shuttle like they did a lot of cool stuff as far
- 1:27:57as like actors and stuff. Who up for roles. I saw Liv Tyler
- 1:28:02originally turned it down twice before finally accepting it. Looks like Neil Joviovich and
- 1:28:11Robin Wright turned it down as well, Damn and Denise Richard Richards was considered
- 1:28:21by and I'm seeing it cost one hundred and forty million dollars. This is
- 1:28:31one hundred and forty million. It was the most expensive film of ninety eight
- 1:28:35and the third most expensive film ever made up to that point. Titanic was
- 1:28:41two hundred and water World was one hundred and seventy two. Wow, And
- 1:28:47I'm seeing the film is included on the film critic Roger Eberts Most Hated list.
- 1:28:55Roger, No, that is not very surprised. Yeah, I love
- 1:29:00it, but that was all I am. Roger made it through the whole
- 1:29:02thing. Do you think I think? I also saw he said something like
- 1:29:09Michael Bay was able to make the first one and fifty minute trailer or something.
- 1:29:15He was like, there's so many fast cuts or something, right,
- 1:29:18isn't that what he says? Yeah, that's it, Coming in Hot,
- 1:29:24Coming in Hot. Did you guys find anything? You guys got all mine?
- 1:29:29Nice? Yeah? I mean, I mean the best one is the
- 1:29:33shut the cup Man. Yeah, that's it's so good. Yeah, it's
- 1:29:39incredible. Idiot. Yeah, because we're saying the other day and again,
- 1:29:45you could you could pick this movie apart for forever, but you know,
- 1:29:49it seems like it would be way more because like we were saying, like
- 1:29:55the training to just to physically get into space is the hardest part. I
- 1:29:59mean, and like, dude, you think Max is taking sustained nine g's
- 1:30:04for eleven minutes, are you kidding me? Yeah? The atop his heart
- 1:30:10looked like a basketball stuffed with great lion. In the montage of them getting
- 1:30:15well, the doctors goes says the bear, your cholesterol is shockingly high,
- 1:30:20shockingly high. He just rips its, like you know, the doctor like,
- 1:30:29yeah, no, go ahead. They just they're like, so can
- 1:30:32they survive the trip? He's like, I can't think they survived. It's
- 1:30:39pretty great. It's so true. So that part is kind of funny,
- 1:30:43Like, you know, you'd think they they'd find like one good driller who
- 1:30:46who could come with and kind of supervise the man, But you know,
- 1:30:50that's what movies are for. I also don't even care because movie, you
- 1:30:54know, he needs his guys. Man, he's only the best because he
- 1:30:58works with the best. That's true. I have never said that in my
- 1:31:01life. You see the drillers that they had them lined up that don't say
- 1:31:06anything that these are gonna be your guy. The eight whole weeks guys,
- 1:31:10they all just look like loser. It looks like like I'm up there.
- 1:31:15They just got all the onset drivers. Come standing here for a second.
- 1:31:20We have some jumpsuits for you. You're gonna get pain extra today. Don't
- 1:31:26worry about it. One of those guys was a pretty large dude with you
- 1:31:30looks like Peter Griffin. Like they should have been all like jacked and yeah
- 1:31:38whatever, Hey movies, I'm not here to question the genius of Michael Bay.
- 1:31:43Oh damn sure, No, we should never with that. Do you
- 1:31:46guys think there's gonna be a sequel Judgment Day? Well, I mean Independence
- 1:31:53Day too was incredible, so like that is a good point. I mean,
- 1:32:00how many years after was it? It was, wasn't it the long
- 1:32:02twenty five at the time. Wasn't the longest time between sequels until sixteen?
- 1:32:11Well it was twenty sixteen, so twenty two year, twenty one years.
- 1:32:15Yeah, I mean I think it got beat by coming to America and then
- 1:32:19something else. What would the sequel be, Yeah, I don't. I
- 1:32:25can't imagine like intexasized asteroids coming. Yeah, I mean other, Yeah,
- 1:32:30it's kind of a one off. I don't know, you know, unless
- 1:32:34unless it's another like, uh, what's the one where they got it.
- 1:32:39What's the one where the Earth's core stops? Oh? Yeah, freezers.
- 1:32:45I don't know. It's again one of the ten movies that happened because of
- 1:32:48Armageddon. Let's just say no, this is Untouchable, Untouchable, Untouchable,
- 1:32:53Untouchable. Maybe maybe a remake like Prestige TV remake. I think that'd be
- 1:32:58nice. I mean they won't be able to do it now because Michael Clark
- 1:33:02Duncan passed, but I would have seen a whole summer of him in the
- 1:33:06white hats. I think. I think that's that's it. That's the idea.
- 1:33:12I think that's it. That's the most brilliant. Just credits are over,
- 1:33:17and then just he just throws open the shades to the Rose Garden.
- 1:33:27I love it. I love it so much. Would you guys like to
- 1:33:30be a gate? Yeah? I did so bad last time. I'm going
- 1:33:34to pass. No, come on, you gotta play the game. You
- 1:33:39can't pass on the game. Yeah, we're doing a starting five. You
