Transcript
- 0:07[SPEAKER_02]: I've actually been on a little bit of a zombie, or at least that sometimes zombie adjacent, Halloween one.
- 0:17[SPEAKER_02]: This, because I've been reviewing the Resident Evil franchise,
- 0:23[SPEAKER_02]: a choice that's a choice which is a choice and not a good one, but you know that was the one that I chose for this not even fun for like camp or like like so bad.
- 0:37[SPEAKER_01]: It's good or anything like that
- 0:42[SPEAKER_02]: No, they're okay, so my, I think my favorite was after life.
- 0:46[SPEAKER_02]: The first one is good, like, a solid I should say.
- 0:50[SPEAKER_02]: And then I think I didn't like any of the other ones.
- 0:54[SPEAKER_02]: And I particularly hated the last two.
- 0:58[SPEAKER_02]: And the last one is when they finally decide to like explain it, umbrella, and it's so insane because,
- 1:05[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's clearly like an afterthought.
- 1:08[SPEAKER_02]: It's clearly like they were like, all right, I guess we have to finally explain this if this is the last one And of course, like it doesn't really make any sense, but those are like that's zombie adjacent, right.
- 1:18[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think yeah, yeah, I think so They're basically zombie like mutant zombies.
- 1:24[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:24[SPEAKER_02]: Do you guys like those zombie?
- 1:27[SPEAKER_02]: genre
- 1:28[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I consider myself a fan, but if not someone that's only dipped their toe like I haven't seen too many international zombie movies and there's so many incredible ones, you know, like I've seen like train to Busan.
- 1:41[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's just probably the best one.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, maybe, I mean, I don't know, you know, it's it's the one that we know about and talk about, but who knows if that's the I've seen so few that I can't say that like oh yeah, that's definitely.
- 1:55[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
- 1:55[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, but I enjoy, you know, right, and we reviewed night of the living dead on this podcast, play a resource, yeah, I used to be a big fan.
- 2:05[SPEAKER_00]: Like, well, I had a roommate who was obsessed.
- 2:06[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I think I mentioned it.
- 2:07[SPEAKER_00]: Like, we had the backpacks packed, you know, I have a food bar, you know, it's, it's a preper.
- 2:16[SPEAKER_01]: Like you, like you are still sort of prepared for the movie.
- 2:19[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes, yes, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:25[SPEAKER_00]: You know, as COVID happened, I remember my like just roommate I hadn't heard from it forever and one of my friends and I got a message out of nowhere.
- 2:34[SPEAKER_00]: It's possible and it was just like the world shut down and he was like, I was like, oh my goodness.
- 2:40[SPEAKER_00]: But I will say there like Netflix does have a bunch of the um...
- 2:45[SPEAKER_00]: South Korean films like this, there's one, it's got to make no.
- 2:48[SPEAKER_00]: There's one that takes place like with school kids in like, like the trapped in school is so good.
- 2:55[SPEAKER_00]: There's another one like an apartment building.
- 2:57[SPEAKER_00]: Also, I think like, which I hate the crossover of how the internet stalks you with so crazy.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_00]: I looked at one video, one video on TikTok about like,
- 3:07[SPEAKER_00]: a day 365 surviving the zombie apocalypse alone now anytime I go on freaking YouTube or something it's like what happens if you're in the city and a zombie apocalypse happens where you got to go how long could you last you got to do this and it's so many videos what happens if you're stuck in an apartment building what happens if you're stuck in a grocery store I like them I do think
- 3:30[SPEAKER_00]: I do, I don't know.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_00]: I do think some are sillier than others, and I think it's tough, because I think Shana today has the best blend of like silly and like scary still.
- 3:39[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they need to get pretty scary.
- 3:42[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they can be silly.
- 3:43[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 3:43[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_00]: It's just tough.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_01]: You don't think they can be.
- 3:45[SPEAKER_01]: You don't appreciate them if they are only silly.
- 3:48[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 3:49[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 3:50[SPEAKER_02]: What was it?
- 3:51[SPEAKER_02]: Did you like the Bill Murray?
- 3:53[SPEAKER_02]: What do you like, Samuel?
- 3:55[SPEAKER_00]: So this is my thing.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_00]: I really like Xambi lamp, but the thing about Xambi comedy, but this is my thing are just scares and that one Yeah, it is tricky because sure, but Xambi lamp is very joky, but the zombie themselves are like
- 4:09[SPEAKER_00]: That's not true either because like gay the hot woman is and per her dischasing them.
- 4:13[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know man And so for some reason I could sit at a zombie land a genre today a different even though those are joking I think you only could sit at a different because they're good Maybe that's it.
- 4:21[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, maybe that's it.
- 4:22[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's it.
- 4:23[SPEAKER_00]: It's like the people like the people who are telling jokes in it
- 4:32[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I think you're right, maybe because they're good.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_00]: Cause everyone takes some serious.
- 4:36[SPEAKER_01]: But the thing I'm trying to get at, I think, is like, what is good, you know?
- 4:40[SPEAKER_01]: Cause, cause I think there's an element, there's an element of slapstick, that I don't know if Gerard would appreciate.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's like, if it's, if it's, if it's screwball, you know, maybe that's where it is.
- 4:51[SPEAKER_01]: Cause there's something screwball could be good, you know, it's not not good because it's screwball.
- 4:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, maybe that's what it is because even as I'll be like when he's like when they I just watched I'll be like recently actually was just crazy even when at the opening when I do in the montage and they're like dropping stuff on them and they're just like splurting all over the place it's something that's still so grounded about the comedy in it that I think yeah maybe it is a script well maybe it's like because even even as crazy as Sean the Tennyson ground isn't round but that's the thing is not but but
- 5:26[SPEAKER_00]: But when you see the walk, the second time in a zombies have taken over in the first time, what is his name?
- 5:32[SPEAKER_00]: I don't uh, his best friend, which one?
- 5:34[SPEAKER_02]: Nick Frost.
- 5:34[SPEAKER_00]: Nick Frost.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_00]: With the moment Nick Frost pops up and realizes that there's zombies, even though his reaction is so big and so funny, something about it is so like,
- 5:45[SPEAKER_00]: He sees a zombie.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I don't know.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_00]: It's maybe a right brain.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's just that is believable But it's something about he is very big.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_00]: He is very cartoonish.
- 5:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but for some reason that reaction is like yeah, bro This is fucking crazy.
- 5:57[SPEAKER_02]: You don't you didn't like did you see the dead don't I?
- 6:01[SPEAKER_02]: I believe it's what's called Adam Driver and Bill Murray
- 6:05[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't seen that one yet.
- 6:06[SPEAKER_01]: I started it and then we go into something that you had to write the dead don't die dead don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die don't die
- 6:27[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it did super well at the box office and it has a more like one of those low key, like the very dry humor.
- 6:42[SPEAKER_02]: But I remember liking it when I saw it.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
- 6:45[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, yeah, I'm trying to think like, I think it may be the slapstick of it all.
- 6:49[SPEAKER_00]: I got to think it all right.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_00]: It may be because I'm not necessarily like a slapsticky guy.
- 6:54[SPEAKER_00]: Like, friends, I'm not gonna, it's great as like, I notice it's like super slapstick, but it's great as like people love top gun.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, not top gun.
- 7:02[SPEAKER_00]: What's that?
- 7:03[SPEAKER_00]: Naked gun.
- 7:03[SPEAKER_00]: That's never gonna be a movie that I'm like, I got there.
- 7:05[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
- 7:06[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's super hard.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_02]: Apparently not comedy.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_00]: Like people love Tim Robbins.
- 7:11[SPEAKER_00]: Tim Robbins is not for me because I'm like, it's just so much that I'm like, this is unreal to me.
- 7:16[SPEAKER_00]: Like Tim Robbins?
- 7:18[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like it's just not.
- 7:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not.
- 7:19[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
- 7:35[SPEAKER_00]: But did I bone collector, though?
- 7:37[SPEAKER_00]: I felt like we didn't review that, though.
- 7:39[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is no bone collector.
- 7:41[SPEAKER_00]: Bone bone.
- 7:43[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, it's a 10-day exchange.
- 7:44[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, it's like 28 days later, bone.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, bone 10-temporal.
- 7:48[SPEAKER_00]: Bone 10-temporal.
- 7:49[SPEAKER_01]: Bone 10-temporal.
- 7:50[SPEAKER_01]: Bone 10-temporal.
- 7:51[SPEAKER_01]: Bone 10-temporal.
- 7:51[SPEAKER_01]: Bone 10-temporal.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_01]: So I only watched the first two so far.
- 7:55[SPEAKER_01]: That bone 10-temporal was good.
- 7:57[SPEAKER_02]: It was good, and I appreciate it 28 years later as well.
- 8:04[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we would assume those three and four or is there a or is there another three and four three and four and near the coast of directed at Yeah, bone temple right who also directed candy man.
- 8:17[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I feel back because I don't think bone temple did well as I think it hurt her
- 8:21[SPEAKER_00]: I think she makes really good movies, it's just a hurts trajectory.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_02]: I think people just for some reason, I don't know what's going on, but I feel like everybody who saw Bone Temple really likes it.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_00]: It's so good.
- 8:32[SPEAKER_02]: I think it came out in January and like a weird time and like I feel like people assumed that it wasn't going to be good because it was like another sequel to the 28 days later, like this last year, it's a weird.
- 8:45[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_00]: It's so good.
- 8:47[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 8:48[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 8:49[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what people in other people weren't the biggest fan of the one that came right before the Danny Boyle one.
- 8:55[SPEAKER_00]: I think people were like, uh, 20, 20 years.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_00]: Then people were like, why do we need this?
- 8:59[SPEAKER_00]: And I think hers was just, you know, anyway, but yeah, I love a good zombie.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 9:04[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, a friend, a zombie friendship with a, come on.
- 9:06[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the, the big dude.
- 9:07[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_02]: I think it like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
- 9:12[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_00]: I also watched, if we're talking about some movies, I did watch, um, uh, Zack Snyder zombie movie.
- 9:19[SPEAKER_00]: Did we do that?
- 9:20[SPEAKER_00]: We did that.
- 9:21[SPEAKER_00]: We did the most recent.
- 9:22[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_00]: That's me.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_00]: One.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_00]: Army of the dead.
- 9:25[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 9:25[SPEAKER_00]: Army of the dead.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm really watching that.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_00]: I think, and there's interesting ideas in here, but I personally think a zombie movie should be low budget, like not low budget, but I think like the more bells and whistles.
- 9:37[SPEAKER_02]: When it's so big, it's like, come on.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_02]: I need, like can be little monsters.
- 9:40[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 9:46[SPEAKER_02]: Because sometimes just when they put someone's money in it, it's so big.
- 9:52[SPEAKER_02]: And you'd rather have a little monsters.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I haven't gotten to rather this good in a while.
- 10:01[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, I don't know so much.
- 10:06[SPEAKER_01]: So they went talking.
- 10:08[SPEAKER_01]: I would have been so mad.
- 10:13[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying to make an actual thought, I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:17[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:19[SPEAKER_01]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_01]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:21[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:24[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:28[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_02]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_02]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying to make an actual thought.
- 10:48[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, can't jump.
- 10:53[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to Blackman, can't jump in Hollywood.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_01]: Hollywood City!
- 11:02[SPEAKER_01]: Well, take my quick alches, needs to be quiet.
- 11:05[SPEAKER_01]: The other one, I like was, stop fucking swearing.
- 11:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're kind of the fucking square.
- 11:12[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_02]: Josh Gav was on one in this movie, but I think Josh Gav is so funny, man.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 11:22[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he's so funny.
- 11:24[SPEAKER_00]: What's his history?
- 11:25[SPEAKER_00]: Let me Google him.
- 11:26[SPEAKER_01]: I forgot how funny he was in this.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_01]: I remembered that his character was the annoying kid performer.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_01]: And I only misremembered him as being like annoying.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_01]: I forgot, like, got it.
- 11:39[SPEAKER_01]: You forgot.
- 11:39[SPEAKER_01]: It was fun.
- 11:41[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 11:41[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 11:43[SPEAKER_02]: Was Book of Mormon his first big thing?
- 11:45[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it says online right now.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 11:47[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 11:47[SPEAKER_02]: He did Book of Mormon.
- 11:48[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, wow.
- 11:49[SPEAKER_00]: And I forgot how massive Book of Mormon was.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_00]: Like it was.
- 11:54[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, this is crazy.
- 11:56[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 11:57[SPEAKER_02]: I like to, I remember, we watched, I feel like we watched the wedding ringer for the podcast, didn't we?
- 12:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he was funny at it, yeah.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_00]: He was fun, you know what it is?
- 12:05[SPEAKER_00]: He, I think they were trying to go for that hitch kind of energy.
- 12:08[SPEAKER_00]: And I do think Josh got, even though he's clearly funny, I think he's like just naturally, a little bit more charismatic and cooler than,
- 12:18[SPEAKER_00]: cooler.
- 12:19[SPEAKER_00]: So I do, I do think Josh Gad is probably cooler than Kevin James and I think we'll smith.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_02]: Kevin James, go.
- 12:26[SPEAKER_00]: Kevin James, Kevin James.
- 12:27[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no.
- 12:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think Kevin Hart.
- 12:29[SPEAKER_02]: No, I was like, what the hell?
- 12:30[SPEAKER_00]: No, but I also think we'll smith has the, the.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_00]: like, charisma to just like, yeah, bro, I'm gonna help you fall in love where it's like Kevin, I was like, I had this real stuff.
- 12:40[SPEAKER_00]: It was just a hard thing to compare, you know?
- 12:43[SPEAKER_00]: But Josh is dope.
- 12:44[SPEAKER_00]: He's also so cool that they wrote him in Marvel.
- 12:47[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he's just in She-Hop, Ash, Josh, but it's just him, it's just him.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_02]: uh yeah uh we listen if you're listening to this for the first time welcome welcome welcome we are a film review podcast we review the films of leading black actors we talk about them in the context of race and diversity in Hollywood there are three of us who host this the voice you're listening to right now if they were sort if I was surrounded by
- 13:22[SPEAKER_02]: Like I'm not gonna freak like I also by the way, this is also a voice that would never, ever, ever, ever, just walk up to somebody who is raw eating a nope.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_02]: Nope, why would I ever do that?
- 13:37[SPEAKER_02]: No, why would I ever do that?
- 13:38[SPEAKER_02]: Right, never.
- 13:39[SPEAKER_00]: You're saying, you're saying, you're saying him.
- 13:41[SPEAKER_02]: And here's the thing, it's not like I would immediately think zombies are real cause I don't think zombies are real or could ever be.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_02]: But,
- 13:48[SPEAKER_02]: But I would think that do is on bath salts.
- 13:51[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?
- 13:51[SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't know what I would be like.
- 13:52[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that guy's literally crazy.
- 13:55[SPEAKER_02]: I gotta stay far away from him.
- 13:57[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 13:57[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, now.
- 13:59[SPEAKER_02]: You know, this is Jonathan Brick, Jonathan Brick, like I've ever had.
- 14:02[SPEAKER_00]: Get it.
- 14:02[SPEAKER_00]: This was that a Jaramel again.
- 14:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this was his James with third.
- 14:07[SPEAKER_02]: And we are reviewing the film Little Monsters, the 2019 film, not the Fritz Savage one.
- 14:15[SPEAKER_01]: It's so funny my friend was like, they remade this and I was like, oh no, not the Hollywood Mandel one.
- 14:20[SPEAKER_01]: That was what I said I would have gone with friends.
- 14:24[SPEAKER_01]: I would have gone with friends I forgot how a Mandel was in it until I rewatched it and now right to I now that's who I recognize That's so funny.
- 14:35[SPEAKER_02]: I guess technically the his America's got talent staying power
- 14:41[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, and okay, we're reviewing 2019 Little Mossers.
- 14:44[SPEAKER_02]: Now, look, Lupita is first bill, which is crazy.
- 14:50[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, on the poster and not the main character of this movie.
- 14:58[SPEAKER_02]: But she is, but she is, I think she is not being lead top.
- 15:01[SPEAKER_00]: Because she wants an Oscar.
- 15:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, that makes sense.
- 15:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that makes sense.
- 15:06[SPEAKER_02]: And what else is there to say, this movie, technically it came out in Sundance, but it was like extremely limited release.
- 15:15[SPEAKER_00]: So it was a Sundance movie.
- 15:17[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_02]: And that's when Hulu bought the rights to it.
- 15:23[SPEAKER_02]: So that's why it was referred to as a Hulu original.
- 15:27[SPEAKER_02]: It made $425,000 in Australia, I think.
- 15:31[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it had a domestic, and by a domestic, I mean, American release.
- 15:35[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, it's an Australian film.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_02]: Set in Australia, there's a lot of Australian actors.
- 15:41[SPEAKER_02]: Stars looped in the young, though, and Josh Gad, as the Americans that we would know, and then Alexander, England, and Cat Stewart are some of the other actors in it.
- 15:55[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, yeah, so basically it's a teacher and a man who just got out of the long-term relationship are on a field trip with a bunch of little kids to a petting zoo when a zombie apocalypse or a zombie outbreak occurs and they have to survive.
- 16:23[SPEAKER_02]: Remember, it's a Sundance film, 32.
- 16:25[SPEAKER_02]: 32.
- 16:25[SPEAKER_02]: 32.
- 16:25[SPEAKER_02]: 32?
- 16:25[SPEAKER_02]: Trots a Sundance film.
- 16:32[SPEAKER_00]: Sunday, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I
- 17:02[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, yeah, that trash ass movie, yeah, I'm a, wow, I'm gonna go high to 32.
- 17:13[SPEAKER_02]: I wonder stand also this movie came out 2019 right before the pandemic.
- 17:19[SPEAKER_02]: I think I understand why it's a 79%.
- 17:23[SPEAKER_02]: Dana, I think watching this movie now,
- 17:29[SPEAKER_02]: especially through the lens that we've been through.
- 17:33[SPEAKER_02]: It's tough.
- 17:37[SPEAKER_00]: I could go first.
- 17:39[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I could go if you want, you know, I think based on the review, the scores, we know where I'm leaning.
- 17:47[SPEAKER_00]: Geez.
- 17:47[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, here's my, I'll go further.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_02]: Here's my initial thoughts.
- 17:52[SPEAKER_02]: It was hard for, it's hard for me to separate the race element in this movie, even though this movie is not about race and whatsoever and I don't think anybody talks about race or acknowledges it in any capacity.
- 18:04[SPEAKER_02]: I'm looking at it purely from a Hollywood standpoint.
- 18:07[SPEAKER_02]: From that standpoint, I really hate this movie for a lot of different reasons.
- 18:14[SPEAKER_02]: Now, if I wasn't thinking about that and I didn't care about that,
- 18:22[SPEAKER_02]: Pretty good.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like, there are funny moments, Josh Gads performance, I think it's really funny.
- 18:29[SPEAKER_02]: I think a lot of the kids are really funny.
- 18:31[SPEAKER_02]: Like, they got to grab a lot of good kid actors.
- 18:33[SPEAKER_02]: Like, they're really cute, you know.
- 18:35[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like short, it's like kind of short and sweet.
- 18:37[SPEAKER_02]: There are some funny moments with like the army, some of the army people, like little comedy here and there.
- 18:44[SPEAKER_02]: You know, there's a lot there.
- 18:45[SPEAKER_02]: I would say the my main problem with this film both from a race standpoint and a film standpoint is I think the main actor is is or at least the character is so unlikable that it makes the movie.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_02]: hard.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_02]: Like, like, and I don't really care about his journey and he has a journey for sure, but like the beginning of this movie was so tough because I was like, this person is so unlikable and then I couldn't separate race from it and I was like, uh, you can never have a black lead.
- 19:17[SPEAKER_02]: That's
- 19:18[SPEAKER_02]: You just can't, you just can't have a black lead that this is this deeply unlikable and been an horrible person.
- 19:25[SPEAKER_02]: So it was tough, it was tough.
- 19:28[SPEAKER_02]: But that being said, I understand why people liked it, especially at the time, that if you were an oversaturated with zombie movies, if it came out the right time, like, oh, you know, a little bit of funs, Lupita chopping the heads off zombies, that's cool, which it was, you know?
- 19:45[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, that's my initial question.
- 19:47[SPEAKER_00]: When we go James, yeah, I'll go after you.
- 19:49[SPEAKER_00]: I hated this movie.
- 19:51[SPEAKER_00]: Like I has such a visceral reaction and I think it's what you're talking about, brain.
- 19:56[SPEAKER_00]: I hated that LePita had to be in this movie.
- 19:58[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's probably because of the interviews that I've been watching will like my Herschel Alley.
- 20:04[SPEAKER_00]: thinking about all these people who to me are very important to Hollywood, who are these black Oscar winners and then, you know, we've talked about on this podcast and we talked about LaPita in particular at one point about like how many movies she's led since winning her Oscar.
- 20:19[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm looking at this movie like, how do she get in this, why are she doing this?
- 20:23[SPEAKER_00]: This lead dude is I have such a bizarre reaction to him, like I've never disliked a person
- 20:34[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he's all straight.
- 20:35[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know what?
- 20:36[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, because I didn't like it.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I didn't like the structure of this movie.
- 20:41[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I think I struggle with the silliness of it.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I hate a design, I'd be aspect of it.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_00]: The kids were annoying.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_00]: I think Josh Gat plays a...
- 20:51[SPEAKER_00]: Josh's asshole character.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_00]: The asshole version of him and she hulk is a better asshole and a funnier asshole than he was in this movie to me And I'm like just totally it was off.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: I hated the way it was shot.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't like the script
- 21:06[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I felt so bad.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_00]: I think I just watched this movie just fell bad for LaPita, like, generally speaking, because she's just in a different movie.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_00]: Like, she's just in a different movie.
- 21:15[SPEAKER_00]: And it made me wish like, you know, someone should just write an action movie for her.
- 21:18[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, she would be so good at it.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'm gonna tell you how much I dislike this movie.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_00]: It made me almost dislike zombie movies.
- 21:25[SPEAKER_00]: It almost made me go out there and you just see another zombie movie.
- 21:28[SPEAKER_01]: Movies?
- 21:28[SPEAKER_00]: That was maybe, like, legitimately I was watching this at one point and I was like, I don't think I need to see another zombie movie for a while.
- 21:34[SPEAKER_01]: doing it.
- 21:35[SPEAKER_01]: We need to stop doing this.
- 21:36[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I was like, for a while.
- 21:38[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but yeah, you know, yeah, man.
- 21:42[SPEAKER_01]: All right, yeah, he's the ad for the next walking dead spin off.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, what a fuck.
- 21:47[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's been, the walk in this bin was just like, 2010, bro.
- 21:52[SPEAKER_00]: It was like 20 spinnels with the same people anyway.
- 21:56[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 21:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 21:58[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 21:59[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I had a different reaction to my rear watch.
- 22:04[SPEAKER_01]: I think to been to my initial watch.
- 22:07[SPEAKER_01]: Because while, like, yes, like, I think that there's definitely like fun parts of the movie.
- 22:14[SPEAKER_01]: When I posted that I was watching it, people were like asking, and all of my responses was like, yeah, I mean, nothing to write home about, but whatever.
- 22:22[SPEAKER_01]: And then as I'm watching, and I was like, oh, I forgot how funny this is.
- 22:25[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I think like, there's an, and by funny, I mean like, you know, like, they're going for funny, you know, like, you know, like the opening sequence, it's like, this is just open so on this fight and the fight does not end for so long.
- 22:41[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like that was just like silly and,
- 22:45[SPEAKER_01]: And so I found myself appreciating that the kind of like the zero to 60 of the of the comedy.
- 22:52[SPEAKER_01]: And I do genuinely think that like movies like this are the kinds of movies that if I really had time and patience and then like an endless funding are the kinds of movies that I think I would want to make.
- 23:08[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why also why I was like probing early of like what makes something like this not work for you to write like what don't you like about it above or like is it is it bad or is it like not your not your taste or what have you asked you James the kind of you want to make do you mean just simply mean horror comedies
- 23:26[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, yeah, I mean horror comedies and horror comedies that are like, like, I don't think that this movie, I don't think the story of this movie is even all that great, but I like like what it's doing with like, it's like, oh yeah, like what would happen if.
- 23:42[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we were on a school trip and then zombies broke out and like, you know, it's it's just sort of like they play a game to get the kids alive, you know, like it's that's also very like kind of simple.
- 23:57[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, and like, and I do, I also see the difference between like this and like a shot of the dead or this and like a zombie land this is more this is more off beat than those, you know.
- 24:10[SPEAKER_01]: the Y is, Y is Josh Gads character in this, you know, like, why is it even in for you movie?
- 24:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for humor.
- 24:19[SPEAKER_01]: They were just like, Oh, this will be funny.
- 24:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 24:22[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 24:23[SPEAKER_01]: And so I think like stuff like that to me.
- 24:26[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, Oh, yeah, like, I sort of genuinely Approach or generally appreciate the like
- 24:33[SPEAKER_01]: that they're just kind of ingredients, that they kind of put together, and like this is the thing that came out of it.
- 24:39[SPEAKER_01]: I am interested in how Lupita signs up to this, and if there's anything in it that even she would find interesting, like, do you think she thought it was funny?
- 24:49[SPEAKER_01]: Like, could she have done it because she thought it was could she, or could she have done it?
- 24:54[SPEAKER_01]: Because she, particularly the role, the role is like, she gets to, she has that one moment of showing the,
- 25:04[SPEAKER_01]: the other side of the teacher of like, I will kill you if you make the, you know, and then the rest of it is like, just this woman trying to keep things to get like, I don't know, I'm generally interested in it.
- 25:14[SPEAKER_01]: So so all of this, all of this to say, yeah, it was funnier to me this time than it was, I think the first time.
- 25:21[SPEAKER_01]: And like I think it still has all the problems and issues that.
- 25:26[SPEAKER_01]: like I think it does have all of those problems and all those issues and I think I it didn't stick out to me as glaringly this time.
- 25:34[SPEAKER_00]: I think that you know what it is?
- 25:35[SPEAKER_00]: I think James your point is like I like the horror comedy.
- 25:38[SPEAKER_00]: But I think how I what I can set our horror comedy may be different.
- 25:42[SPEAKER_00]: I think
- 25:43[SPEAKER_00]: Like a hard comedy to me is like a cabinet was.
- 25:47[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
- 25:48[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, clearly a bunch of jokes, but also like we're taking this fucking serious and a shot seriously.
- 25:53[SPEAKER_00]: This, to me, you felt like, maybe that's what this to me felt like it could have been like a kid's horror movie, which is fine.
- 26:00[SPEAKER_00]: It just would have been like, you know, we should have like earned a scared, I mean, outside of like, yeah, but it's not a kid's horror film because it's not, it's, yeah, it's too graphic.
- 26:09[SPEAKER_00]: But the tone of it felt like,
- 26:11[SPEAKER_00]: if you take out like like to me we almost need to see anyone truly to get even because it did nothing like it wasn't like scary or anything whatever like it felt like a I don't know if I remember like Ernest scared stupid or like um the movies is a different movie if you make this Ernest scared stupid you know like Joshcat isn't I don't even think Joshcat is as funny as he is
- 26:34[SPEAKER_01]: If you make it earn your scared stupid because he can't he can't swear Like taking out Josh got swearing then you get
- 26:42[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's a very different movie if you make this a kids movie and I don't even know if it's enjoyable if you make it I think it could still be funny.
- 26:50[SPEAKER_00]: I think you like Francis of Josh Cat of Josh Cat can't curse then to me is like you either lean on home alone or the good place Whereas like, you know, like he couldn't curse.
- 26:59[SPEAKER_00]: So now we all use mumbling and words that kind of sound like curse words.
- 27:03[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying every time he got hit
- 27:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, or like, you know, in the good place, she kept trying to curse, but it would not come out.
- 27:10[SPEAKER_00]: So it came out with these silly lines.
- 27:11[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I think there's a way it is a different, it is a different mood.
- 27:14[SPEAKER_01]: This movie also opens with the,
- 27:17[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I think the, I think swearing, I mean, there's so much swearing.
- 27:22[SPEAKER_01]: And being mean is a big part of this movie.
- 27:27[SPEAKER_01]: And without swearing and meanness doesn't work in kids mood.
- 27:33[SPEAKER_01]: Like you can't be as mean as they are in this movie in a kid's movie.
- 27:39[SPEAKER_02]: But I, I simply think that this, this style of,
- 27:44[SPEAKER_02]: what these people who made this film think is funny is not that funny to you, Dara.
- 27:50[SPEAKER_02]: And I understand that because I personally, I've always thought that like, and I put this on the same bucket.
- 27:58[SPEAKER_02]: Little kids cursing, adults cursing at kids, elderly people cursing.
- 28:05[SPEAKER_02]: For me, it's all cheap.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_02]: It's like all cheap humor that comedies do to get an easy laugh.
- 28:14[SPEAKER_02]: once in a blue moon, you're gonna shot.
- 28:16[SPEAKER_02]: It's like a little bit of shock value and people are going to laugh at it.
- 28:20[SPEAKER_02]: But when so much of the comedy is that, it's like guys.
- 28:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna lie to you.
- 28:29[SPEAKER_00]: It's for you.
- 28:30[SPEAKER_00]: Even talking about this movie.
- 28:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I'm what I'm about to say is going to sound crazy.
- 28:35[SPEAKER_00]: I know this movie is a horror comedy But like I think I just never even I think I was over the joke so quickly that it was not it was never I never even looked at it as a horror comedy.
- 28:44[SPEAKER_00]: I was like how was this zombie movie?
- 28:46[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
- 28:46[SPEAKER_00]: I think I just went to like
- 28:48[SPEAKER_00]: What is this movie like is this like you were like so did it.
- 28:51[SPEAKER_02]: We're like you're like what is this?
- 28:53[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I was just like is this a good movie and I understand now that like yes, the horror comedy so a lot of what makes the movie good or bad as supposed to be located on this this comedy but again to James point I do think there's ways to have I don't know I believe like the best type of horror comedy is a horror that has comedy and I and I and I do think
- 29:12[SPEAKER_00]: you can have a comedy that has hard elements in it.
- 29:16[SPEAKER_00]: Like this guy who directed and wrote this had a really cool show that I watched a couple episodes on a hat peacock called like, what's like me, with Josh Gat.
- 29:24[SPEAKER_00]: And like this is cool.
- 29:26[SPEAKER_00]: Like if you watch freaking widows bay, it's like you can do the comedy and have the horror elements.
- 29:32[SPEAKER_00]: But to me, I think it is the silliness of it that like I really struggle.
- 29:36[SPEAKER_00]: It's bright.
- 29:37[SPEAKER_00]: And I think you can still have something doing today that doesn't feel as like cartoonish.
- 29:43[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, totally, I just feel like
- 29:46[SPEAKER_02]: Because I personally think Sean on the dead, and this movie are somewhat similar in this comedic tone, I just think Sean on the dead does it better.
- 29:53[SPEAKER_02]: I think Edgar Wright is clearly a better director.
- 29:57[SPEAKER_02]: I think the humor is interesting, the heart, like of Sean on the dead hits more, like, cause we care about those characters.
- 30:05[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I mean, I guess, let's talk or we're already talking about it, but like, we can like, kick off this movie.
- 30:11[SPEAKER_02]: This, you know, it's the movie's only an hour
- 30:17[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I know we're getting like peppering in of the zombie stuff, but like the zombies don't really start until maybe probably been at 25.
- 30:24[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, right?
- 30:25[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 30:26[SPEAKER_02]: Like and and the beginning of this movie is just this relationship.
- 30:32[SPEAKER_02]: Where they're just screaming and yelling at each other and like that's the joke is like they can never stop fighting.
- 30:37[SPEAKER_00]: And so he's like eating and they're fighting.
- 30:39[SPEAKER_02]: Like he's like eating yelling and eating like a freaking fire.
- 30:42[SPEAKER_02]: And I really think it's a good.
- 30:45[SPEAKER_02]: Littness test cause like if you're not really laughing at the beginning of this movie you're not going to you're probably not going to like the movie and I think
- 30:54[SPEAKER_02]: I'm in the same boat, and for me, it was personally just like, I was like, this is not, I think the thing with like, son of the zombie land, like some of these comedies that, that, uh, horror zombie comedies in particular, but horror comedies in general work is that you do still like the main
- 31:16[SPEAKER_02]: character, right?
- 31:17[SPEAKER_02]: Like, even if they're bumbling it, it like there's something about them that you like and I know that I don't want to be so reductive as it, but I will be because I'm going to reference save the cat, but it's just like what it, what's our save the cat moment for this guy?
- 31:30[SPEAKER_02]: Like, what's the reason we're supposed to like them?
- 31:33[SPEAKER_02]: And I personally think, and this is where race comes in, a lot of times with white men, movies are like, well, you're kind of relation them because they're white men.
- 31:41[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 31:43[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like has nothing else
- 31:45[SPEAKER_01]: What is it?
- 31:46[SPEAKER_01]: Save the cat moment is when he is when he knocks the kid out behind the door behind the door.
- 31:53[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that happened so fast.
- 31:55[SPEAKER_01]: That happened to him.
- 31:57[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, no, it happens like when he's already hitting on the teacher and 12, 12, 15 minutes in.
- 32:03[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't, I personally don't see that feel like a save the cat.
- 32:07[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like this guy's a jerk.
- 32:08[SPEAKER_02]: Like, yeah, no, he's such this fat kid is making fun of your, but like,
- 32:14[SPEAKER_02]: First of all, like his nephew is fine, like I know they were trying to somehow make it like his nephew's getting made fun of by other people, but then they were like he has a girlfriend and I was like, well, okay, and a five year old has a girlfriend, like I don't feel that cool.
- 32:28[SPEAKER_00]: This fabulous cool.
- 32:29[SPEAKER_02]: Also, it's cool, like, the people, I'm like, again, they were trying to make this joke of like, oh, look, the kid with the disability is making fun of either nephew, but I'm like, I don't buy it, and I don't buy the joke.
- 32:42[SPEAKER_02]: And it's not funny to me.
- 32:43[SPEAKER_02]: Like, sometimes I feel like, I don't know why I'm making this so about race, but it tells me a racial to me.
- 32:51[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I feel like sometimes like, why am I in particular, like, white male comedians are like, you're gonna think this is funny
- 33:00[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, but I don't like, I don't know why you think it's funny for a kid with crutches to be making fun of another kid like and be like,
- 33:18[SPEAKER_02]: How this right this person thinks that's funny because it's like isn't it funny when like a kid with a disability is like being a bully And it's like it would only be if like I felt like there was some truth to that Yeah, and not just you're just putting it on because you think it's funny like this guy thinks cursing at kids is funny And I'm like I don't really think it's funny kind of is this guy sucks and he's like
- 33:42[SPEAKER_02]: Why is his sister letting him stay here like I truly was just like I this sister each multiple times she was like I'm gonna kick you out.
- 33:49[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like the fact that you are kicking him out actually his problem starts to make you a bad mom yeah like it's it's dangerous to have this guy in your house like he literally kidnapped your kid in the middle of the night to go take him as a play to like get his girlfriend back and so he winds up seeing like
- 34:10[SPEAKER_02]: to adults having sex, and he didn't take the kid out of that situation.
- 34:14[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's nuts.
- 34:18[SPEAKER_02]: Agreed.
- 34:19[SPEAKER_02]: Agreed like I don't like you so unlikable like why how are we supposed to like this guy?
- 34:25[SPEAKER_00]: He does not get better.
- 34:26[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's the hard part about it is like at no point to me personally Does he get better and I'm I'm just going to stick to this because again I can't speak to the comedy because I didn't it didn't touch me in that kind of way I think the structure is what my issue is like if we're saying that the safety cap moment is him.
- 34:43[SPEAKER_02]: I guess Assaulting a five-year-old because that is okay
- 34:48[SPEAKER_00]: It is it, though, right?
- 34:49[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I guess, and it also, I will say that the thing I really struggle with is like, okay.
- 34:56[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know if you guys seem like Brooklyn and not, right?
- 35:00[SPEAKER_00]: Brooklyn and not Andy Sandberg.
- 35:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I love the truth.
- 35:02[SPEAKER_00]: Is out is.
- 35:05[SPEAKER_00]: like a funny idiot, but he's so good at being a cop, right?
- 35:09[SPEAKER_00]: He's so good at it.
- 35:11[SPEAKER_00]: Like if I look at like Schmidt on New Girl, he is so particular, so dumb, but still really good, like he keeps keeping him around at the job.
- 35:19[SPEAKER_00]: And no point is this guy good at anything.
- 35:22[SPEAKER_00]: At one point, he needs to start a tractor.
- 35:25[SPEAKER_00]: and a little kid has to tell him how to start which like at no point does he get good at a thing.
- 35:31[SPEAKER_00]: It'd be different if like earlier on we learned in this world as fictional every zombie has different rules.
- 35:36[SPEAKER_00]: It's like if for some reason his music ability that people say he sucks at is something that comms the zombies.
- 35:42[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
- 35:43[SPEAKER_00]: This is me throwing out whatever.
- 35:44[SPEAKER_00]: It's like it's something that proves like he's good at a thing structurally to help this movie progress.
- 35:49[SPEAKER_00]: or if his singing is so much better than the paedas that like in these crazy moments and I know it to have that one singing at the end but like does this music calm the kids in a different way?
- 35:59[SPEAKER_00]: Like what does he do?
- 36:00[SPEAKER_00]: What does he do?
- 36:02[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the, the, the thing he does is is that moment though that you just talked about like and I don't think it doesn't propel the movie forward, but they that the sweet Caroline moment and then I think then then afterwards the singing shake shake it off at the end is his.
- 36:25[SPEAKER_01]: those are his brief moments of growth, the small, the as small as those are, and again, I'm not saying it as a, uh, I get that I get that as a defense of the movie.
- 36:35[SPEAKER_01]: It's those are the points where they wear it happens just actually.
- 36:38[SPEAKER_02]: And I was going to say really the.
- 36:41[SPEAKER_02]: He's in a near-death situation, it's a life or death situation.
- 36:47[SPEAKER_02]: It makes him apologize, right, for being the gross person.
- 36:51[SPEAKER_02]: Also, I mean, it takes Lupita's character to admit that she live first for him to then admit that he lied.
- 36:58[SPEAKER_02]: But he thinks he might die, so we have these moments.
- 37:01[SPEAKER_02]: And then honestly, the only real reason that
- 37:06[SPEAKER_02]: We even look at him with some sort of redemption.
- 37:09[SPEAKER_02]: It's simply because he's not the worst person in the world, just because Josh Gad becomes the worst person.
- 37:15[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
- 37:16[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 37:16[SPEAKER_02]: And it just takes somebody else being cartoonishly horrible.
- 37:21[SPEAKER_02]: for him to not look that bad because ultimately we're supposed to go, well, he stays behind and actually tries to save the kids and it's like, that bar is so low, bro.
- 37:30[SPEAKER_02]: Like, yeah, like, I would say the vast majority of people are going to try to save children and not be Josh Gad and like literally like lock children outside, like try to
- 37:50[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
- 37:51[SPEAKER_02]: I just, I think, even the moment with like the, the epipen, which you knew that was going to come up because they said, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, but I did.
- 38:04[SPEAKER_02]: This is crazy.
- 38:06[SPEAKER_02]: But that's like, I'm like, you're a horrible person.
- 38:08[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I don't, you don't get props for going out to go get that thing because though,
- 38:15[SPEAKER_02]: his mom did like was like, hey, listen up like this is serious and he's like, yeah, I got it, I got it and it's like why are you so Cavalier about something that might save life for your nephew.
- 38:27[SPEAKER_02]: It's a life or death situation.
- 38:28[SPEAKER_02]: Like don't be like listen to what she's saying.
- 38:31[SPEAKER_02]: And once again, I'm like the mom being like, my brother, it's like, no, stop.
- 38:38[SPEAKER_02]: This is your kid.
- 38:40[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like what are we doing this point that we're at is a is after another thing that he did that I Appured which was They had hit they have him Jerk off to Lupita's picture and it's the school picture.
- 38:56[SPEAKER_01]: It's disgusting and it's the school For as horrible as they were already painting this man to be they had him do that and it is only gross
- 39:11[SPEAKER_01]: only gross like nothing funny about it.
- 39:14[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like, why is this in this movie?
- 39:18[SPEAKER_01]: This could have been you could have just skipped over this.
- 39:21[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, man.
- 39:22[SPEAKER_00]: Also, it's so tough because again, I think with Braille was touched on the racial component of it all.
- 39:27[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like,
- 39:30[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not gonna lie, this movie just made me sad and I was like, the penis should be doing.
- 39:33[SPEAKER_00]: She should have had options.
- 39:34[SPEAKER_00]: Like if this was her best friend or like, you know, if you told me like, if she was dating this director or something and that's why she did it, I'm like, okay, good, I got it.
- 39:42[SPEAKER_00]: I got it.
- 39:42[SPEAKER_00]: But if it's because people weren't making work for her or like she wasn't getting the opportunities that other people have, I'm like, it's just, it's just crushing me because,
- 39:50[SPEAKER_00]: This movie would be better about literally hearing her story about Hanson and like we're her life like that's a better movie.
- 39:57[SPEAKER_00]: Let me just follow her like certainly more interesting.
- 40:00[SPEAKER_00]: Let me like what is this like what is that like you know what I mean?
- 40:03[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know man.
- 40:06[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 40:08[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
- 40:09[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was the other thing about this was like such an unpleasurable experience this was.
- 40:16[SPEAKER_02]: But that was hard.
- 40:16[SPEAKER_02]: Like does it get on a platform?
- 40:18[SPEAKER_02]: I think it was most and what I should have looked this up.
- 40:22[SPEAKER_00]: The guy who started it, did he write it?
- 40:25[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody was a writer, director.
- 40:26[SPEAKER_00]: Did guy who starred in it?
- 40:27[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, who's someone else who directed it?
- 40:29[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the other guy wrote it, right?
- 40:31[SPEAKER_00]: No, he's the writer.
- 40:32[SPEAKER_00]: The director is also the writer.
- 40:33[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 40:34[SPEAKER_00]: So this guy, uh, Abe,
- 40:38[SPEAKER_03]: or sith, or sith, he directed episodes of the show with like me.
- 40:47[SPEAKER_00]: Which, that show, I'm telling you, like the pilot is really entertaining, it's like scary.
- 40:51[SPEAKER_00]: You realize like it's a little bit dark.
- 40:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 40:56[SPEAKER_00]: It plays differently than this.
- 40:58[SPEAKER_00]: I want to, I mean, you're probably talking to him.
- 41:01[SPEAKER_00]: This probably taught him, he carries stuff over there.
- 41:08[SPEAKER_02]: I just think that like writing tells on you, writing tells on the writer, right?
- 41:20[SPEAKER_02]: Like if you watch somebody's written work, it's like it's telling on that person a little bit, you know, it's not like a direct, obviously like, but it's like you're, you're seeing a little bit of who that person is.
- 41:32[SPEAKER_02]: When I watch a film like this, I'm like,
- 41:35[SPEAKER_02]: I look at the person who made it, wrote it, and directed it.
- 41:39[SPEAKER_02]: I look at them a little differently, because I'm just like, you are.
- 41:42[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I would want to be around you.
- 41:47[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you feel like you're not the best of people.
- 41:51[SPEAKER_02]: Your humor is so dark, like, it's not even dark.
- 41:55[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't shoot him as dark as not the right word.
- 41:57[SPEAKER_02]: Your humor is so inappropriate.
- 42:00[SPEAKER_02]: in a way that, again, I just think it's like, and look, he's Australian, but no, no, there's a way of privilege to it that I just, I personally a poor.
- 42:11[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that happened to me recently.
- 42:13[SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember if we reviewed this movie and I won't say what it is, but there's an actor, there's a comedian, there's a comedian who is known predominantly for acting.
- 42:23[SPEAKER_01]: but did a movie recently.
- 42:25[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like looking for it to the movie because the way the movie looked.
- 42:28[SPEAKER_01]: And then by the time the movie was over, I was like, oh, I don't think I like him.
- 42:30[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, oh, I don't think I like this person.
- 42:33[SPEAKER_01]: And it was so, I don't typically have that reaction when I'm watching things, but it was like a weird like, yeah, like, oh, I'm realizing that like, what you think is interesting is just so...
- 42:47[SPEAKER_01]: different to me.
- 42:48[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 42:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 42:49[SPEAKER_01]: It's unrelenting that particular style of humor in this and the and the kind of like gross jokes and you know that like I fucked your mind like like when when a Joshcat is let loose and all he's doing is knocking out the kid zombies and saying that he
- 43:16[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my goodness, yeah, man.
- 43:18[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 43:19[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like disson people with movies.
- 43:20[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just like, this was just not fun.
- 43:22[SPEAKER_02]: Like, now I will say this.
- 43:25[SPEAKER_02]: I will say this because we have crap in this movie a lot.
- 43:30[SPEAKER_02]: I did like, I did and I found it, I wasn't laughing out loud because they were smaller jokes, but I did appreciate the humor with the army people.
- 43:40[SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was fun that the multiple times had two army men talking completely different people and they were like just talking about how everything in Australia can kill you or like talking about all the different animals in Australia because I was like that feels real and I love that they're just like doing that and I feel like there was another moment like just the way they're like oh right when they go.
- 44:07[SPEAKER_02]: It's a, I think I forgot if he says it's another zombie outbreak or if it's a zombie outbreak again, and I was like again, and he's like, and then one of the soldiers just like, slow zombies are fast zombies slow zombies slow zombies slow zombies slow zombies slow zombies slow zombies I did like that far I did like that far okay that was good I did like that far that far that far was good that far was good that far was good I get it and then they were like all right let's like nuke this place and I like as the kids were coming there like
- 44:34[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, it's just two people, yeah, like, let's kill him.
- 44:37[SPEAKER_02]: And then they're like, wait, I hear singing, singing.
- 44:41[SPEAKER_02]: And then somebody's like, do you think the zombies are singing?
- 44:44[SPEAKER_02]: And they're like, zombies don't sing?
- 44:45[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like, there was so silly.
- 44:48[SPEAKER_02]: And I appreciate it those moments.
- 44:50[SPEAKER_02]: And I want it, I was hoping for more of that stuff.
- 44:53[SPEAKER_02]: But instead, we just got mostly just this guy being like, you know, I don't know.
- 44:59[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah.
- 45:02[SPEAKER_02]: I went to that, but I hated that Lupita has to, that these two end up together.
- 45:10[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 45:11[SPEAKER_00]: I, I, I honestly, I gotta be straight up disgusted by it.
- 45:15[SPEAKER_02]: Like, why did she kiss him?
- 45:16[SPEAKER_00]: Like disgusted by it.
- 45:18[SPEAKER_00]: Disgusted by it.
- 45:19[SPEAKER_01]: Disgusted by it.
- 45:20[SPEAKER_01]: With the explosion behind them.
- 45:21[SPEAKER_01]: Disca, at one, she kisses him and then he kisses her.
- 45:26[SPEAKER_01]: He does look just like Taylor Hanson.
- 45:30[SPEAKER_01]: Is that it does look like he does look a little bit like a dog not just like, but I mean in the indie they all look like since He very close you're a simple statement.
- 45:42[SPEAKER_01]: It's enough for me to believe that she wouldn't want to make out with him after the experience.
- 45:47[SPEAKER_02]: They just went Right, which okay, I'll buy like if somebody has a near death experience you know, yes, but like I don't I just was like what is
- 46:00[SPEAKER_02]: Again, was there any redeeming, I guess, again, the redeeming quality is just he's not Josh Gadd and he does technically risk his life.
- 46:09[SPEAKER_00]: to help these kids, but like, but you can also say, you are like, to say it's guilt because like he put his nephew in that spunk, but also he's still just trying to press lapita.
- 46:17[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like, is that even a genuine, like, whatever man, fuck this, whatever.
- 46:22[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, I mean, I, I, it's until you all said that, I didn't even remember that they did them together.
- 46:29[SPEAKER_01]: And I just, and I just finished the movie, like, I would be like, I almost said they don't end up together.
- 46:35[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they do.
- 46:36[SPEAKER_01]: They kiss.
- 46:38[SPEAKER_02]: And then they're out there and then they're together singing Taylor Swift.
- 46:41[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because they have to be like, I almost said like, no, they're just in the same cell together because of blah, blah, blah, but also that last line of like the mom being like, I bet they're terrified.
- 46:52[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, they're not or whatever he says.
- 46:55[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't say that, but he's like, well, you'd be surprised.
- 47:01[SPEAKER_01]: I was just like, okay.
- 47:04[SPEAKER_02]: I think the thing that was supposed to be so impressive was the fact that they like hid the truth from these kids.
- 47:12[SPEAKER_02]: And yet one, you could argue that doing that could have got these kids killed.
- 47:19[SPEAKER_02]: And it's kind of not super believable that it didn't.
- 47:32[SPEAKER_01]: The army just opens fire.
- 47:34[SPEAKER_01]: That was the game, too.
- 47:35[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it was all part of the game.
- 47:39[SPEAKER_02]: It was all the game, you know?
- 47:42[SPEAKER_02]: I did appreciate, I actually really like, I will say, I really like this little kid, which, oh, the guy I like to do.
- 47:50[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he was so cute.
- 47:52[SPEAKER_02]: Like the Darth Vader stuff that he was doing was so cute, like I thought he was a really good actor.
- 48:00[SPEAKER_02]: They had a couple of these kid actors who like did their parts really well and I was just like, these kids are adorable.
- 48:06[SPEAKER_02]: Also like,
- 48:09[SPEAKER_02]: one of them goes up to the beat and she's like, and you tell him to stop playing the game.
- 48:14[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the kids for little what's Right right right when it's like dire straits that I think that same kid is like it's okay if we lose you're like Can't we lose you don't have to keep playing I thought that was amazing Yeah, and then the other what another kid said something so cute too.
- 48:39[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, why is she I think it was early on she was just like zombies don't even look real
- 48:43[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but anyway, but I don't know.
- 48:51[SPEAKER_02]: Is there anything else that I mean, I don't know.
- 48:53[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
- 48:54[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
- 48:54[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 48:55[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 48:56[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 48:56[SPEAKER_01]: It was too long.
- 48:57[SPEAKER_01]: We said it all.
- 48:59[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's a super short movie.
- 49:00[SPEAKER_00]: So it's not like there's a lot more to say reclaiming my tent.
- 49:05[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you know what it is?
- 49:06[SPEAKER_00]: And again, I don't want to do this to this movie, but I think what I'm getting upset about is I know everyone's talking about it.
- 49:11[SPEAKER_00]: It's like Hollywood, as it has done this hard reset, going back to like, whiteness and looking at this movie, I'm just like, it is so average and it's so whatever.
- 49:20[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm looking at Lupita, who's one of Nazca, who should be more stuff.
- 49:23[SPEAKER_00]: And she's in this movie, she's being like, ooh, by this very average asley dude.
- 49:30[SPEAKER_00]: It has made me sad to to exist it.
- 49:31[SPEAKER_00]: Also, again, this humor doesn't play well for me.
- 49:33[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think the movie again played well for me.
- 49:35[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm just looking at her being like, this movie, this is like, your peak fitness, like, this is, this is peak, Lupita, and like, you're in this.
- 49:44[SPEAKER_02]: Because I, like, this doesn't happen with, when this happens with white actors, it's white actors who are well past their prime who are very old to get stuck, like, put in a movie to like add to their, right?
- 49:56[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you ever see, you don't see,
- 50:00[SPEAKER_02]: white actor male or female in their prime unless it's a cameo, be like, no, not, but even that, even that, that's not even a thing.
- 50:10[SPEAKER_02]: The cameo's like, oh, you know, right, because I would say cameo doesn't count because this movie, like, the marketing clearly new Lupita is the draw.
- 50:19[SPEAKER_02]: The movie itself puts Lupita number one build.
- 50:22[SPEAKER_02]: And this is the role that she get, like, again, it's not a bad role, but it's just like, no, no, no, the lead of the film.
- 50:30[SPEAKER_00]: No, but it is a bad role for her.
- 50:32[SPEAKER_00]: Like at this point, Eric Grant is a bad role for her.
- 50:34[SPEAKER_02]: If she didn't see that part of her career.
- 50:36[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly.
- 50:36[SPEAKER_02]: And she did it out.
- 50:37[SPEAKER_02]: She did it out today.
- 50:38[SPEAKER_00]: It is bad.
- 50:39[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 50:39[SPEAKER_00]: And I think about it, where I'm like, somebody was comparing.
- 50:43[SPEAKER_00]: It was three, it was three young actors at the time.
- 50:45[SPEAKER_00]: It was, no, it was just red circle.
- 50:47[SPEAKER_00]: It was comparing Timothy Schallemay and Call Me by, Call Me by my name, by your name, whatever.
- 50:52[SPEAKER_00]: It was comparing the kid from Moonlight.
- 50:58[SPEAKER_00]: Um, who was the middle age.
- 51:03[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, oh, um, something Sanders, right?
- 51:07[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, his name.
- 51:08[SPEAKER_00]: Something Ashley.
- 51:09[SPEAKER_00]: So basically, Ashley, and it was like him, Ashley, and in the, in the young kid, Timothy Trimbley, I don't know this white kid's name over his name.
- 51:16[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my God.
- 51:16[SPEAKER_00]: Jacob Trimbley, the young kid who was in the room with, um, Yeah, Jacob Trimbley.
- 51:22[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Jacob Trimbley.
- 51:23[SPEAKER_00]: And it was like, he's a really good, really good.
- 51:26[SPEAKER_00]: And the thing is, they're like, yo, these, what is the difference between these three kids?
- 51:30[SPEAKER_00]: They're like, all of them are in big movies, all we're in Oscar nominated movies, let's see like how their careers have like went forward.
- 51:37[SPEAKER_00]: And not to say, action hasn't done in life because he's clearly working, but it's like, when you look at what Jacob has done, yeah, exactly.
- 51:43[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Jacob has done the opportunities that like, um, uh, Timothy has got.
- 51:47[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, it's not even close or comparable.
- 51:49[SPEAKER_00]: And then they bought up again, I think because my hercel has been talking about it more,
- 51:53[SPEAKER_00]: Personally, it's like one of the only, I think it's five people alive who have won more Oscars than him.
- 51:59[SPEAKER_00]: And he's like, I won't mind like pretty much back to back.
- 52:01[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't lead movies.
- 52:02[SPEAKER_00]: I can't know.
- 52:03[SPEAKER_00]: And like that's right.
- 52:04[SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy.
- 52:05[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?
- 52:06[SPEAKER_00]: Like we talk about coming to Mingo all the time.
- 52:08[SPEAKER_00]: Comment, don't be leading movies like that.
- 52:10[SPEAKER_00]: unless it's super, super small, and even then, like, that's a rarity.
- 52:13[SPEAKER_00]: So, I don't know, does everything about this movie just made me disgruntled?
- 52:16[SPEAKER_00]: And I think, maybe I would have been able to take the racial component out of it, like what Bray is saying, out of been fine, or the movie would have been better, either or.
- 52:25[SPEAKER_00]: But.
- 52:26[SPEAKER_00]: This was a not great experience.
- 52:28[SPEAKER_00]: I would be honest, this is a very not fun experience for me.
- 52:32[SPEAKER_00]: I feel it's never had that in a long time.
- 52:34[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I truly, when I was watching the beginning of this movie, I was like, gritting through it because I was like, this guy is so unlikable.
- 52:43[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to watch a movie about him.
- 52:47[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't, I really don't.
- 52:49[SPEAKER_02]: And then when I realized, like,
- 52:52[SPEAKER_02]: okay, she's the love interest.
- 52:56[SPEAKER_02]: She doesn't like him.
- 52:57[SPEAKER_02]: It's one of these movies where like the guy like convinces
- 53:02[SPEAKER_02]: a very attractive, stable, smart, you know, kind woman to like like him, even though he's a complete loser.
- 53:13[SPEAKER_02]: Like a loser and every sense of the word, he has no money.
- 53:17[SPEAKER_02]: He has no job.
- 53:18[SPEAKER_02]: He's not a good person.
- 53:20[SPEAKER_02]: Like he's mean.
- 53:22[SPEAKER_02]: He's mean to women.
- 53:23[SPEAKER_02]: Like he's mean to kids.
- 53:25[SPEAKER_02]: He's completely
- 53:29[SPEAKER_02]: He's not that good looking, like he's just a computer loser.
- 53:34[SPEAKER_02]: And we're supposed to be happy that he gets with Lupita at the end of the movie.
- 53:38[SPEAKER_00]: The media authority of this bothers me because I'm like, we, like you said, where you said at the top, we could never do this.
- 53:44[SPEAKER_00]: Like we could never do this, like in a,
- 53:49[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not good.
- 53:50[SPEAKER_00]: I think the thing is, the movie's not good.
- 53:52[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, it's not, whatever.
- 53:54[SPEAKER_00]: And let me stop talking about this movie.
- 53:55[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 53:57[SPEAKER_02]: Like, all right, well, I guess it's just so, it's so, this is my last thing.
- 54:02[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, we have to have movies that are perfect, bro.
- 54:05[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at the movies that are come out this shit, we probably will have another year.
- 54:08[SPEAKER_00]: but a person of color, not black, not Asian, not Latino, would not be nominated for best actor or best actress.
- 54:16[SPEAKER_00]: We will be lucky.
- 54:18[SPEAKER_00]: If we have a movie that has a black person and a predominant lead, meaning number one, number two, and number three that is nominated for an Oscar.
- 54:27[SPEAKER_00]: All right, and because we have to be perfect and I'll look at this movie that has this dope as Oscar winner in it who before this had what two movies I came out and she was an alien in one and other She also was a fucking animated character and I'm looking at her in here with this average as why you do and it bothers me to such an extent that the movie didn't have the heart to be good If you go to put her in it be good, but it got made with a Oscar winner
- 54:53[SPEAKER_00]: at the height.
- 54:54[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever.
- 54:54[SPEAKER_00]: What am I going to do?
- 54:55[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to
- 55:22[SPEAKER_02]: So on the count of three, we'll raise up our ratings for Little Monsters 2019.
- 55:31[SPEAKER_03]: Three, two, one.
- 55:35[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, Geron, I gave it nothing.
- 55:36[SPEAKER_02]: I believe James also gave it nothing.
- 55:39[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, three nothings.
- 55:41[SPEAKER_02]: That sounds about what?
- 55:41[SPEAKER_02]: That feels about, right?
- 55:43[SPEAKER_02]: That feels right.
- 55:44[SPEAKER_02]: That feels right.
- 55:46[SPEAKER_02]: You know, okay, Rotten Tomatoes, we see you're 79%.
- 55:54[SPEAKER_02]: No, I made it up.
- 55:55[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'll start.
- 55:56[SPEAKER_02]: I gave it nothing because this movie doesn't help.
- 55:59[SPEAKER_02]: Look, Peter in any way.
- 56:01[SPEAKER_02]: Nope.
- 56:02[SPEAKER_02]: It's, in fact, uses her.
- 56:06[SPEAKER_02]: celebrity to be known, I do think people know about this movie.
- 56:13[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how many people watch it on Hulu but like I'll say like I play this game Cinematrics and like when Lapina comes up like and I use the film Little Monsters like it gets a high percentage because I think a lot of people know about it.
- 56:26[SPEAKER_02]: So like
- 56:28[SPEAKER_02]: But again, it's just like, okay, so like this helps out like this other Australian guy.
- 56:34[SPEAKER_02]: There's really no, I mean, I guess maybe there's a black soldier somewhere, but like, there's really no other black people in this community.
- 56:40[SPEAKER_02]: Like that's a black soldier somewhere.
- 56:45[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I like.
- 56:46[SPEAKER_02]: Something.
- 56:46[SPEAKER_00]: Where's the blood that is somewhere?
- 56:48[SPEAKER_00]: Great.
- 56:48[SPEAKER_00]: That is very funny.
- 56:50[SPEAKER_00]: That is very funny.
- 56:52[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't help.
- 56:54[SPEAKER_02]: Lupita doesn't help any other black people out.
- 56:56[SPEAKER_02]: And if anything, it just used Lupita's fame to climb over her back.
- 57:04[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
- 57:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 57:05[SPEAKER_00]: I gave it nothing because I grew up right.
- 57:08[SPEAKER_00]: It just didn't.
- 57:08[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing for Lupita or black people with anything.
- 57:11[SPEAKER_00]: This was watching a black person get used.
- 57:15[SPEAKER_00]: I wish I could give this double nothing, but I can't.
- 57:17[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, at least you got paid, I guess.
- 57:19[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully she got paid every.
- 57:20[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I gave this nothing as well after listening to y'all.
- 57:25[SPEAKER_01]: It's interesting.
- 57:26[SPEAKER_01]: I was not thinking about race the entire time, like at all.
- 57:29[SPEAKER_01]: And I also wasn't thinking about Lupita's position as an Oscar winning actress at the at the time.
- 57:41[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's just it's interesting if all of these things are true and that like She only picked this because there were zero other options, you know, and like and it was all she even had That sucks on the other hand if she was like interested in this and like like the script and like was
- 58:01[SPEAKER_01]: was using her, was okay with using her star power to bring more eyes onto this movie.
- 58:08[SPEAKER_01]: That's great, you know, like that's the, like if that's true, that's awesome, you know, but if that's, but if the other things are true, that's terrible, you know, and I don't know.
- 58:20[SPEAKER_01]: So mostly going off of that, I don't think it helps more actors for that reason.
- 58:25[SPEAKER_01]: I almost gave it a palm though.
- 58:27[SPEAKER_01]: That's where I was at.
- 58:29[SPEAKER_01]: Got it.
- 58:29[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, get it.
