Avid Indoorsman. Hi everybody, how are you today? Buddy? You know
0:51
I'm doing great. It's a beautiful day. I think we got into the
0:55
fifties today. So hey, what a weird winter slash spring with February.
1:00
Yeah, it hasn't been much of a winner. I'm sure that that means
1:03
bad things, uh for the climate and all that, but selfishly, I've
1:10
really enjoyed this winner a lot. Yeah, it's been all right. I
1:15
kind of like it when it gets real cold and we haven't really had that,
1:18
but that's okay. We really we had like a week yeah, and
1:21
I was I was great I was great with that. But yeah, otherwise,
1:23
good, how are you? I'm good. I have exciting news to
1:27
share with you. Everything. There is a new member of the Lundquist family.
1:34
Who is it? It is My sister got a dog, I know,
1:42
the cutest. Oh what kind of puppy? It is a cavapoooo,
1:48
which is like, what is it like a King James Cavalier slash poodle and
1:56
or no, King Charles Cavalier, one of those. Yeah, yeah,
2:00
and uh it's like he's like gray and white and he's got this like cool
2:06
little freckle on his nose. And I got to go with her to pick
2:09
him up. Oh my god, these dogs look like a little stuffed animals'
2:14
So he's one of the cutest things I've ever seen. And U she named
2:20
him after a calf in City Slickers. Do you remember, god, what
2:29
the name was. That's a tough pull. Yeah, I don't, Okay,
2:37
his name was Norman. I've forgotten Norman. And that is exactly why
2:45
she named him Norman. And I love it so much. That is fantastic.
2:50
She wins the day, for sure. That's great. Absolutely, So
2:53
the breader had named him Versace. I guess the whole litter was like different,
2:59
Oh, sure brand name, and so he's Norman Versace Lust, which
3:05
is very different names in many different worlds. I love it. It's beautiful.
3:10
But I was like, please just let me come with. And I
3:14
just took a bunch of pictures for her, like when she was meeting him
3:16
and all that, which is cute too. But I ended up getting to
3:20
like hold him for like the whole drive back. That really worked out nice.
3:24
Where did you guys have to Did you go far? Not too far?
3:28
Is it really close for me? Not so close. He's in the
3:32
northwest suburbs and yeah, it was way south. It wasn't like Iowa or
3:37
anything. No, no, not cool. Fun. It was cool.
3:42
It was exciting. And we're going to do a little get together on Saturday
3:45
to throw him a little party that all welcome home party. I hope he
3:49
likes attention because he's about to get all of it. Yeah, I know
3:53
it's gonna be fun. Well, that's great, lovely fun. But what
3:59
was the last movie you watched? Yes, last movie I watched I saw
4:04
a fantastic movie that wasn't very much fun. I saw The Iron Claw.
4:11
Oh, I don't know that we've talked about it since I've saw it.
4:14
I haven't seen it. Oh you haven't seen it. No, this is
4:16
one I thought you had because I knew you were you know, we had
4:19
crossed over a few times where like you'd seen stuff I had and vice versa.
4:25
Yeah, so this is the movie. You know what it's about,
4:27
though, the movie about the wrestling fanily yvon Eric brothers. It's super super
4:33
well done. It is not a drag throughout, but it is just not
4:36
a happy story. It is about right. It is about the the tragic
4:41
story of these brothers basically, so like it is super tough at times.
4:46
Zach Effron is fantastic in it. Jeremy Allen White is in it. He's
4:49
really great. Harris Dickinson, who I didn't recognize but I think it's been
4:55
in from nineteen seventeen. He's like the amazing stat dude. Yeah, Oh
5:00
he's so much like he looks so much more grown up in this part,
5:03
I guess or something. Well, I think he had to put on a
5:05
bunch of muss. I suppose that's probably true. Yeah, they are all
5:09
super ripped. I've seen that. But yeah, man, this movie it's
5:14
it's a crazy story. And it's really well done, really well acted,
5:18
and like I said, there are parts of it that are enjoyable. But
5:23
I just want people to know going in like it's not it's not a fun
5:27
time. You get that from the preview though. That's a good point I
5:32
saw. I figured that going in that the dad was just way too hard
5:35
on him is what they were getting tough. Mar Tyranny makes an appearance though,
5:41
as the mom, and she's great. Love seeing her in a while.
5:44
I feel like, so that was fun, but yeah, yeah,
5:48
it's it's it's wild, it's crazy, it's it was a good time,
5:51
though. I really was happy watch it. Did you see it in the
5:56
theater? I no, okay, I streamed it somewhere I rented I don't
6:00
remember. Yeah I did rent it actually because I don't think it's actually streaming
6:04
anywhere. But I was like, I want to watch something new and I
6:08
just don't want to move. I get that there really hasn't been that many
6:12
I've been excited for until today. Actually, the Right Driveway Dolls came out,
6:18
I know I was gonna go see it, and I was like,
6:20
oh, I can't, we're recording, but that's yeah, I might go
6:24
see it tomorrow or something. Actually, you're in town, maybe we should
6:28
go see it. Maybe we should let's talk more, let's talk. That
6:31
sounds fun. It's been a while since we saw a movie. But yeah,
6:35
Ironclaw really well done. I can't remember who is anyone up for anything
6:40
from that movie? Okay, and I guess that makes sense, but it
6:45
wouldn't have shocked me if anybody was, because it's it's really well done.
6:47
So right, and that's an A twenty four film, so I'll definitely be
6:51
watching it. Oh yeah, you have to your honor bound. Yep,
6:55
I love it. Nice. How about you, though, buddy, what's
6:58
the most recent movie you've seen. I have been going through the A twenty
7:01
four films and find at least by the way are they once? Are just
7:08
looking up list of four films and then I look at the title and I
7:14
there's an app called just Watch, which is pretty great. Yep, So
7:16
I do that and I if I have that streaming service. Then I watched
7:20
that movie real love it. Yeah, but I decided to check out The
7:26
Spectacular now, which I never saw. That movie is fun. I just
7:30
watched that kind of recently. I feel like nice. So for the listener.
7:34
This is a coming age, coming of age story featured Miles Teller as
7:40
a pretty wild, popular high school student. He doesn't take life too seriously
7:44
and then he meets a nerdy, unpopular girl played by Shalene Woodley, which
7:48
is hilarious. Okay, it's like this she's all that kind of thing,
7:53
or like this is a beautiful person, what are we doing? But he
7:57
she changes his perspective and it's really well done that. I thought the acting
8:01
was wonderful. Kyle Chandler and Jennifer Jason Lee are also in there, and
8:05
they're great as well as a baby faced Brie Larsen, which was pretty fun
8:11
young in this. I was like, I didn't realize this was this old
8:15
until I saw her. I remember thinking that. I was like, whoa,
8:18
yeah it was. It was pretty great. Yeah, this one came
8:20
out in twenty thirteen. It's one of the very first A twenty four films.
8:26
I think it was actually the fifth one oh wow on the list that
8:30
they produced. Yeah, but it's a fantastic movie. And I went and
8:35
watched it on Max. It's available there. If that sounds like something you're
8:37
interested in, and that Miles Teller man I realized I hadn't seen much of
8:43
him aside from Whiplash, and yeah, he's really madan war Dogs. Yeah,
8:48
yeah, he's great. Yeah he does. I was impressed. He
8:50
does a movie with Anna Kendrick. You should check out too. It maybe
8:54
a twenty four but it's all about them getting jobs or whatever. Right,
8:58
I remember seeing that. You know that. You say that it was pretty
9:01
good. I liked it. I can't remember what it's called now, but
9:03
sure, but yeah, kind of fun. Nice. Have you been streaming
9:07
anything? Yeah? So I also rented a movie called or No, maybe
9:11
it was just streaming. God, I'd really need to write this down because
9:13
I never remember anyway. I saw ISS. Have you heard about this movie
9:18
at all? I don't think so. So. ISS is the International Space
9:22
Station? Oh yeah, this is the one with Ariana Debo's in it.
9:28
They're astronauts. You saw that already? Yeah? I thought that was in
9:33
the theater. Isn't that in the theater? Well? No, I don't
9:37
know. Maybe I procured it in other fashions. Okay, I thought that
9:43
was like just came out. But maybe I'm wrong. I couldn't have could
9:46
it? I thought it? I thought? I never remember I saw the
9:52
preview for that, and it looked like such a great plot. I was
9:56
excited to see it. January nineteenth that came out out, so it's possible
10:01
it was streaming. I don't know what I did, Okay, I don't
10:05
know what to tell you, but is it dot dot dot dot dot dot.
10:11
Yes. I wish they would build in your app with IMDb. Be
10:18
nice, just the one stop. It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen,
10:22
probably will You're right, You're right. Uh. Anyway, this movie super
10:26
cool idea. Basically, the idea is they get to the International Space Station
10:31
and it's Russians on board and Americans on board. Uh, just scientists doing
10:35
their own thing, and then uh, an international conflict breaks out on Earth
10:41
and then chaos ensues up there. Basically, it's sort of the like Elevator
10:46
pitch. I really thought it was a fun time. I thought it was
10:50
a cooler like lower your expectations a smidge because I thought it was a cooler
10:56
idea than how they Actually it's a great cool idea and it was fun,
11:03
like I had a good time. It just it fell just a tiny bit
11:05
short and I don't really know why, Like I didn't analyze it that much
11:09
for why for me? But I think it's definitely worth watching. And honestly,
11:13
it seems like one of those if you go in being like, oh
11:16
I heard this was okay, it might be amazing, right, you know
11:20
what I mean? So like, I think it's definitely worth people checking out.
11:24
And I really liked it. I really like Ariana Debos is so good.
11:28
Chris Messina, I think you would know him if you don't know his
11:31
definitely know him. Yeah, Okay, he's really good. John gat Man,
11:35
Yeah, he's been in so many things too, which is crazy.
11:39
He was just the most recent thing I saw aside from what I didn't see
11:41
that, but was that movie Air he plays? Yeah, he's like,
11:48
that's right, who is he in that? He's an agent and he's super
11:52
crazy, right, Yeah, that's fun. That's a good call. Yeah.
11:56
And then one of the guys from the Americans, one of the Russian
12:01
guys, is in this film as well as a Russian guy in this film
12:05
too, right, But it was just fun to see him because he he
12:07
had that really big part in Americans. I don't remember what his name was.
12:13
Looking quick, o leg does that ring a bell? It's been so
12:16
long since I've seen that. Did you watch that? Right? It was?
12:20
That was my binge when Lydia was up all night because shift a little
12:26
bit of fever dreamy like, don't remember it but kind of Yeah, I
12:31
get that. But yeah, I think it's definitely worth checking out. It's
12:35
a super fun idea, So check it out. How about you even streaming
12:39
anything? Yes? I finished the new True Detective season called North Country Season
12:45
four? What'd you think? Do you watch it? I haven't even started
12:48
it yet. Okay, So this one is crazy. It's set in Alaska
12:52
during early winter when it's dark for several weeks, so it's one of those
12:56
kind of shows. Yeah. Yeah. Jody Foster is absolutely incredible in this.
13:01
She's by far the biggest name. And a woman named Callie Reese plays
13:05
her partner, and I wasn't familiar with her, but she was great as
13:09
well. And they're investigating a murder bunch of victims and it's kind of supernatural
13:15
like some of the other seasons, and honestly, I think it's the best
13:18
in season one. Who yeah, Season one is one of the best seasons
13:24
of television ever made in my opinion. Oh, it was so good.
13:28
With you. But I was really into it, and they did tie some
13:31
things to season one, which was kind of fun. But yeah, I'm
13:37
sure Jodie Foster is going to be winning awards for her role in this.
13:41
She's great and it's been fun. Like she's been working quite a bit recently,
13:46
it's been fun seeing her like comeback right now. So she's lovely.
13:50
So that's great. This is really really good. You're gonna dig it.
13:52
It's IMAX. Wait and it's only six episodes. Oh, perfect, we
13:56
can breeze right through. That sounds good. They're like an hour, so
14:01
it's not they're not short. Yeah, let's still it's great. That's awesome,

15:39
I guess this is tenth anniversary already anniversary. That's crazy, and we decided
15:45
we need to get someone in here to chop it up with us, both
15:48
metaphorically and literally. Well kind of h but you guys know her, you
15:54
love her. Give it up for Sammy Matdaronde. What's up, Sammy.
15:58
Hi, so good to see you again. Oh you too, You are
16:06
a sight for sore eyes. I'll tell you what. Yeah, I'm pausing
16:08
from a tedious shift at the restaurant here. I see that you have a
16:15
very clean kitchen. Great for you, good job, Yes, yes,
16:18
thank you. You run a tight ship over there. Apparently it's a kitchen,
16:22
dude, it's a kitchen on a ship. That's true. I think
16:26
then we would call it a galley. I guess, yes, that's right,
16:30
right right. And she, you know, lives with Adam Chance,
16:33
so there's always a good opportunity that they're on a ship somewhere. That's a
16:37
good call. Dude loves the sea, loves it. I don't know how
16:44
to go into that, but Sammy Matteratti's here everybody, and we want to
16:48
make sure you follow her on Instagram at Sammy Matterati. I don't post often,
16:53
but when I do you might like it. It's gold, It is
16:57
gold. She takes such any pictures. Thanks, you're very talented things.
17:04
Honestly, it's a little annoying, but I am glad you're here. No,
17:10
lovely, Yeah, I don't know. Should we get right into it
17:14
and start talking about this fun movie? Let's do it, okay, Rob?
17:17
Will you going to start with the rough synopsis? Yes? I will.
17:21
After a controlling owner pushes him too far. Chef Carl Casper quits his
17:25
position at a prestigious Los Angeles restaurant as he tries to figure out what his
17:30
next step should be. He finds himself in Miami. Carl joins forces with
17:34
his ex wife, best friend, and son to launch a food truck business,
17:37
and the venture provides a chance to reignite his passion for cooking as well
17:42
as his zest for life and love. Oh that's so nice. Yeah,
17:49
I love that. That's great. Good job. Thanks. Let's go to
17:52
run to models and hear what they have to say. Critics have this coming
17:56
in at a pretty rock solid. Eighty seven percent. That's a it was
18:00
great. Yeah, me too. I was a little surprised by audience members
18:03
though they have it just a smitch below that at eighty five. Yeah.
18:08
I don't know people not liking this movie. I don't get it. It's
18:11
probably fifteen percent vegan and they just saw all that. Me. God,
18:15
you're right, just I mean, they actually have a whole pig that he
18:19
saw at one point. That is true. It's got to be tough for
18:22
some folks. I loved it. It was my favorite part. Oh man,
18:29
my mouth is watering just thinking about it. You're right, you're right.
18:32
Yeah, No, it's a good point. Okay, Well, let's
18:33
let's move on from our vegan friends then, and let's go in and talk
18:37
about what we think of this movie. It's time for our hot takes.
18:41
Hot take the stove. Strong men also cry, strong men, also cry.
18:52
Are you okay? He burned his finger? Oh? Do you want
18:56
to keep going? Let's keep going? Okay? Good? So strong,
19:00
rob so strong? Yes, hot take. I will go first. I
19:03
love this movie, and I have since the first time I saw it.
19:07
I don't know why this one really like enchanted me from the very beginning.
19:11
How many times have you watched it? Because I feel like you do love
19:15
this movie. I bet, I bet we're in the over a dozen.
19:19
Yeah, for sure. Cool. For some reason, this movie just is
19:22
well. I mean, obviously, I'm a man who loves food. I
19:26
mean it's obvious because I talk about it. Not for any other reason,
19:30
but yes, love food, love all the stuff they make in this I've
19:34
actually always been really intrigued by like cooking shows and things like that too,
19:38
because I just think it's so like everyone that where they're like chefs are working
19:45
in the food industry, they're so passionate about it. It feels like and
19:48
that's just really compelling to me and like infectious. And I think this movie
19:53
has so many good food scenes that are so fun. I also realized another
20:00
reason I might have really loved it. It came out in twenty fourteen,
20:03
which was just after I had come off my second cruise ship, where I
20:07
had been stationed in Miami, you know, like once every week for like
20:11
six months or whatever. And then I had went to New Orleans to visit
20:17
our friend Kate Duncan for a while after that ship contract, and then I
20:22
went to Austin on that same trip as well and hung out and actually went
20:26
to Franklin's, which is where they go, And so I think I was
20:29
just like it was somehow like immediately nostalgic for me too, because I was
20:33
like, I've been to a bunch of these places. This is so fun.
20:37
But overall, I just think like the the idea of a person like
20:41
reclaiming, and maybe it's the thing as I get older too, like reclaiming
20:45
a passion for life and for people around them and maybe not walking the same
20:51
path that they thought they had to walk, but still being able to be
20:53
happy and like flourish. I think is something I really identify with and love
20:59
to see is older. Yeah, I don't know so, but yes,
21:03
this movie is always enchanted me. I think it's really great. I think
21:07
it's also super fun on a rewatch to see how much they had to walk
21:11
us as the audience through, like what the social media experiences and stuff like
21:17
that, Like, wow, things have changed because a bunch of this would
21:19
be just ubiquitous now, I feel like, you know what I mean.
21:23
So I thought that was really fun and yeah, just it's just really well
21:29
acted. There's like a bunch of food porn in. It of just like
21:32
great stuff that I want to be a part of, a bunch of great
21:34
acting and just a ton of heart. And it's a movie that just like
21:41
mostly is happy, just to be happy and fulfilled, and I don't know,
21:47
just good. So I don't know, I really love this movie.
21:48
I don't really have a super hot take other than Franklin's Barbecue and Austin is
21:53
worth every second you have to go sit there because it's amazing a Monday,
22:00
right, I've never been. Oh yeah, So I went with our buddy
22:03
Jason Price who you know Rob. When we went there, we brought lawn
22:07
chairs and got there. It opened at ten. I think we got there
22:11
at seven, and we were not the first piece of first people there.
22:15
It's actually where I came up with my favorite thing now, Like if a
22:19
place has a sign that says like we're open until we sell out of the
22:25
food, you know, it's amazing. So that's a place worth going to
22:29
basically, so yeah, which they have that sign. So but yeah,
22:33
it's super super good. Nice yeah take, buddy, super hot. Yeah.
22:41
I thought this movie was pretty great. It was written and directed by
22:44
Jon Favreau, who we all know and love. I love that he was
22:48
able to get these huge movie stars to play very small roles in this film.
22:52
Yeah, that's always very neat. And I just loved how much Jon
22:57
Favreau is into food. It really played well on the screen. He clearly
23:03
takes it very seriously and made everything look so delicious. I so wanted a
23:07
Cuban sandwich the whole time I was watching this. Yeah, they're the best,
23:11
dude. So I was watching it, like I think I started at
23:14
like at eleven am, and it was just like and I hadn't had lunch,
23:18
just like this, Have I done so good? But yeah, I
23:22
mean he even went on to make his chef show, which I watched that
23:26
as well. Yeah, and that was really interesting. He got like amazing
23:32
chefs and big name actors to cook with him there as well. If you
23:34
haven't seen that, that's worth checking out. And I think it's on one.
23:40
I thought that the music was really fun. I thought the like the
23:42
Cuban music in Miami, the jazzarinew Orleans. I just I enjoyed that.
23:49
My joke hot take, not serious hot take. What I got from this
23:55
movie is that if children of divorce really focus on their parents and get them
23:59
to work together, they might fall back in love and get remarried, and
24:02
if it doesn't happen, it's probably because of something they did. Yeah that
24:07
was my Joe cut. It seems like it's almost certainly their fault things at
24:11
that point. Just get did it right? Right? But my real hot
24:15
take. I love that a chubby, average looking guy decided to write a
24:21
film where his ex wife is a supermodel in Sophia Vergara and the woman he
24:25
casually hooks up with is the gorgeous Scarlett Johansson. Way to go, man,
24:30
Yeah, I mean, if you were writing a movie, you have
24:33
to for sure, for sure. I love that. It's so great.
24:38
I love that for him, what an icon. He's just like, I
24:41
don't know, Sophia, Yeah, probably Sophia Vergara. And then yeah,
24:47
of course he's gonna stay in love with me and then want to give him
24:48
a right. I'm amazing. This sounds true like Robert Downey Jr. I
24:55
don't know. He doesn't really do it for me anymore. It's just it's
24:59
my home abyes for this guy, Sammy, what did you think of this
25:07
film? Well, you unknowingly served me up, because my my hot take
25:14
goes right into that. I gotta say there, this is my hot take,
25:19
and I probably will have some disagreeers, but there is something about Chef's
25:29
John is hot in this movie. Okay, all right, and I get
25:34
it, Like I was Scarlett Johansson watching him cook that I was like,
25:38
yes, like, uh literally, Chef's kiss like Chef's kiss me now.
25:48
But no, I I love this movie. This is only a second time
25:56
I watched it, so I was really glad that you had me on for
25:59
this to like have an excuse to watch it again. It's interesting having watched
26:07
The Bear, it's like one of my favorite shows, same and watching this
26:12
after that, I'm like, this movie walked so the Bear could run,
26:17
like totally he I love the intensity of the kitchen and how that's shown as
26:23
someone who I've never worked in a kitchen, but I have been a server
26:27
bartender, and it's just it's such a familiar environment that like, when they
26:36
nail it, they nail it, and they nailed it in this movie,
26:38
and they nailed it in The Bear. I love the pacing of this.
26:45
I love the like fun fact. We'll get into like the quotes later,
26:51
but when I was like looking for exactly how some of the quotes were worded.
26:55
I stumbled upon this script and so I like, have this the screenplay,
27:00
and it is completely different. So it's very obvious that they were like
27:04
improving a lot, and I always love to see that. And it makes
27:08
sense because a lot of this is so conversational, so grounded. Yeah,
27:14
and I just love it's just so feel good. And I had just finished
27:18
dinner when I watched this, and I was still like, we're going to
27:22
strap strap Yeah. If I had to have like a hot take, I
27:30
I was like, I wonder if, like in twenty twenty four, if
27:34
people would have a problem with like a white guy like making like, oh,
27:40
human food. But interesting, that's a good question. It's it's so
27:44
not about that. The movie is so just beautiful in its own thing.
27:51
So I wasn't really bothered by it. But I was like, I wonder
27:53
if people would be upset about that today. But that's interesting, that's interesting.
27:57
I feel like they might be like maybe it wouldn't be because he married
28:02
into a Cuban family and like lived in Miami for so long and clearly had
28:07
such like a big influence from that culture that that's a good question. Though,
28:11
and his SU's chef was panic, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
28:17
good question though, that would be interesting. But other than that,
28:21
I like just love this movie. That's so good. It makes me want
28:25
to go on trips so much, so much like road trips and just love
28:30
it, love it hot, the hottest of takes. Everyone good hot take.
28:34
Well, why don't we keep going? Let's uh, let's pick our
28:37
favorite acting performance, and let's choose the dude, the dude. I'm the
28:42
dude, so that's what you call me, you know that, or his
28:48
dude or duder or you know, el dud reno if you're not into the
28:52
whole brevity thing going, who's your dude? I really almost chose the Sun.
29:00
He's good. He's so, he's so good, and I children actors
29:07
are really tough, you know, like yeah, and he like he not
29:14
only did they seem like they had such a familial relationship, but like his
29:18
delivery of every line was so like almost throw away, like so natural.
29:23
I couldn't believe it. So I really almost gave it to him, But
29:26
like, how could I not give it to Favoh, he's just he doesn't
29:34
get to show this side of him in a lot of the roles that he,
29:37
you know, doesn't give himself, like when as happy, he's like
29:45
funny and like silly, like you laugh at him a lot, but like
29:48
to get to see a vulnerable side of him, and the character that he
29:52
wrote for himself isn't always like perfect. Yeah, you know. Sometimes I
30:00
love that he admits to not being a great father, Like at one point
30:03
he even says to Scarlett Johansson like I don't, I don't, I'm not
30:07
a father right now, Like I don't know him right now, which is
30:11
like a tough thing to admit, And he just plays him with such care
30:18
and like groundedness is the best way. So I just thought he was perfect.
30:25
I one hundred percent agree with you. I also picked him as well.
30:30
I mean he's in pretty much every scene. Yeah, he's a big
30:33
part of the movie. It is funny. Yes, he wrote himself to
30:37
not always be perfect in it, and to also have these beautiful women always
30:41
fonding over him. But it's just interesting. He I think he thinks highly
30:47
of himself because everyone, even if he is kind of an ass, everybody
30:52
still adores him and just like wants the best for him. Like, yeah,
30:57
everybody's on his side. At all times, no matter what he says.
31:03
So I think that's kind of an interesting thing. But he was really
31:08
fun to watch and I did enjoy just how committed he was to becoming like
31:14
a chef, and it really shines through. He does a great job.
31:19
Yeah, I love that it's a queen. It's a queen sweep. A
31:23
queen sweep a queen queen sleep. Dang it, that's in sleep. Then
31:29
I suck at this, I concur I think those are all great points because
31:34
it brought up I will say, like, yes, I love because I
31:38
loved what you said, Sammy, or what both of you said about I
31:41
love that he can be vulnerable, that he's kind of like a jerk.
31:45
But I do think like he does let those little peaks of like he's really
31:48
trying come through, like when he does leave the gig and you know,
31:55
the Cannavali guy takes over. He doesn't begrudge him for that, not really
32:00
like he a little bit maybe, but overall he's just like, hey man,
32:04
you gotta do what you gotta do. And then he's like you got
32:07
to stay and help him, Like you gotta stay and be with him,
32:08
you know, and like all these things he you know, comes down on
32:13
the kid and whatever, but he does buy him the kettle corn, right,
32:15
like you know what I mean, And he does hang out with him
32:19
and listen to him and all these things. He's not perfect, but I
32:22
do. I love that part of this character because he is. He's struggling,
32:25
right, just like so many people are. But that like he still
32:30
comes through at different points and finds a way to really come through by the
32:34
end, like he realizes that's not what people need from him and that's not
32:37
what he needs from himself, and I think that's really great. But yeah,
32:40
I just love that he like when he is talking to all of their
32:45
platt whop, sorry that's price boiler because he'll he'll definitely come up in the
32:49
two chair. But when he's talked to him and he's like that hurt me,
32:52
man, Like that that sucked to hear that, and he's like you're
32:57
not wrong, like it just hurts you know, all these things. I
33:00
just think that's really important to say. And it's it's nice to see that,
33:05
right, Like we don't have to be perfect. We just have to
33:07
try and be a little bit better than we were a minute ago, right
33:10
or whatever. So yeah, but I love I loved his character in this.
33:15
I thought he did a great job. And I don't begrudge a heavy
33:21
man doing whatever he has to do to write in beautiful people out for it.
33:25
And I kind of get like he I can't why chefs are sexy,
33:30
right, Like they have to be decisive, they have to be in control,
33:32
they have to like be in there doing their thing. And like we
33:36
said, there's so much passion behind me nativity too, yeah yeah, good
33:39
call, right, and like sensations right, like smell and taste and touch
33:45
and feel and all these things right, Like, it's very tactile and very
33:47
cool. So makes sense. Eating is one of the best things that you
33:52
can do that's not romantic. I heard that, you know, sometimes romantic,
34:00
Yeah, exactly. Some of the best states I've had have been with
34:04
the Cuban sandwich. I won't go down that road, but yes, I
34:15
concur it's a clean sweet, it's a clean sweep. As they say,
34:19
let's let's talk about all these supporting characters and let's hit the toti aboard Doty
34:27
Sammy, Yes, yeah, you I had. I had to write all
34:31
of their names down and then like I circled at the end who I might
34:36
want hard. There's a lot for such a small movie, there's a lot,
34:38
a lot of the options here, and it's still really hard for me
34:44
because if I'm thinking of like best performance outside of like the main when I
34:52
think Main three, I think John like Gizamo, the Son and Jon Fabreau.
34:57
Sure. I haven't admittedly like seen a lot of Sophia Bergara's stuff,
35:04
but I thought she was beautiful in this. She was She's so great like
35:08
I she almost I was almost kind of surprised that they end up together at
35:15
the end, because she plays like supportive ex wife beautifully like I believed that
35:22
their relationship was like not perfect, but like they support each other and she
35:28
wanted the best for him and was really encouraging in a beautiful way. I
35:32
loved her, But then I also like love Robert Downey Junior's little cameo.
35:44
He's such like the whole back and forth about the baby and the like,
35:52
where like Jon Favreau is confused if they're talking about the receptionists being pregnant,
35:58
or if they're talking about whatever else it was the meeting or something right,
36:04
It's so it's like a perfect volley. He's so funny in this, So
36:08
I had a hard time, but I think I probably gave it to Sophia
36:12
Bergara. Nice love that she's so good. She was great. Yeah,
36:16
and I also haven't seen her in many movies. I've seen a million episodes
36:21
of Modern Family where she's hilarious. But see, I haven't even really watched
36:25
that show. It's on my list, but that's for me. By the
36:30
way. It's so funny. It is oh so good. It's one of
36:35
those where it's funny, funny, funny, and then you're crying because they
36:38
do something sweet and he catches you off guard. Every time. It's the
36:42
perfect me show because I will just be giggling and crying at the same time.
36:46
It's so good. Yeah, that's a fun pick. I I'm gonna
36:52
be a little more basic and I'm going to take the second lead in John
36:54
Leguizamo as Martin. He's so good though too. He's been one of his
37:00
for a very long time, and I just loved his character in this.
37:06
He drops everything to go and help his buddy who he believes in a lot.
37:12
Yeah, there is that, but he's like, you know what,
37:15
I'm gonna quit my job. I'm gonna go down. I'm gonna help you
37:19
get this this truck running. And yeah, just their whole vibe was so
37:23
much fun. And he's like kind of given his kid lessons too, and
37:30
he was just cool. I really enjoyed that role a lot, very much
37:34
like just a part of the family, right, Like he just comes in
37:37
and he's just like, yeah, this is how we do it. This
37:38
is great, you know, and you can tell their history that they have
37:43
with each other and stuff. It's so great. I enjoyed that. What
37:46
about you, buddy, I mean, both of your guys picks are amazing.
37:52
I love them. The kid, I feel like we already talked about
37:58
I had him as runner up though. I thought he was incredible, and
38:01
I thought he was just really weird like the big name actors. Yeah,
38:06
held his own really well. He felt super believable that he would, like
38:09
you know, was doing these things on the side, Like the plot felt
38:13
believable too, and he played it off so perfectly. I felt like he
38:17
like the mistakes he made in the kitchen. I know that's like scripted out
38:22
for him, but it all felt it felt very real, right, like
38:23
it would be that would be the way I would think about it. Too,
38:27
especially as a kid. But then he you know, he had this
38:30
like sort of knowledge too of like I don't know, and just when he
38:35
was like I just want to like hang out with you and do stuff and
38:37
figure stuff out, it's like, oh, that's so sweet, like so
38:40
cute. I love it. So I'll pick him. I'll pick him Jay
38:44
and then and then shout out to Oliver Platt, who we just loved so
38:51
much. He's just shared and everything. I love him so much. Speaking
38:55
of the Bear, he's in there doing some crazy stuf being amazing. Yeah,
39:01
cut that together. That's so fair. I think I have some trivia
39:05
later that might explain that, but I don't have very much, so I'm
39:07
gonna save it. But yes, that might explain why he's a part of
39:12
these projects, which is pretty cool. But yeah, I just think he's
39:16
amazing in this because he's also just trying to do his job. And I
39:20
love their like little reconciliation scene that they get at the end and stuff like,
39:24
yeah, it's so fun because I believe both of them where it's like
39:28
that hurt me and I was in a spot where I was already hurting and
39:30
I maybe didn't even know that and then he's like I thought we were,
39:35
you know, kind of just jabbing back and forth. I didn't like it.
39:37
I didn't want to do that. That wasn't what I was trying to
39:39
do. And also that food would like you, you know, like,
39:44
come on, man, you know you can do better than that, and
39:47
I want you to and all that. I just I love stuff like that
39:51
because that's I feel like we all have those conversations with with people we know
39:54
and love in our lives right where it's just like you can do better and
39:58
I need you to do better in a loving way. But I just I
40:01
think he's just lovely. Same. Yeah, yeah, it was super funzy.
40:07
And Scarlett Johansson be in that role. She was great too. I
40:10
feels always good. Yeah, she's always great. It wasn't to It's fun
40:15
for these folks to play like a small role like that too, where they
40:17
can kind of just like come in, come out, have a nice time
40:22
and get on with it. I don't I know, I feel like she
40:23
probably didn't do more than like a week, or Tony Junior probably didn't do
40:28
more than a day. Dustin Hoffman maybe did a couple of days. But
40:32
yeah, you know, like, well I get the feeling from this film,
40:37
but also just from John Fevreaux in general that like he works with his
40:43
friends. Yeah yeah, like they're just tell me so yeah yeah. And
40:46
I don't obviously know if any that's true for this cast this one, but
40:52
it certainly felt that way. And I know, like there's so many little
40:57
circles in Hollywood that they'll just like do do small parts just because it's like
41:00
their friend or like they were near set that day and could you know,
41:05
Like, but he just seems like the kind of guy people are like,
41:09
oh yeah, I'll do that for you, like totally. Yeah. It's
41:15
like they're working sorry rap, they're working on like the huge, like crazy
41:19
bombastic Marble films and then to get to do something little like this, and
41:23
like they all have the same time off probably right because they're you know,
41:28
the filming schedules are similar that they can do it. Oh I'll take a
41:31
week and do that. That sounds awesome, you know. It's kind of
41:35
like a little meta because that's the part of the movie too. Yeah.
41:40
Yeah, yeah. I also love that he got Amy Sedaris as the publicist.
41:47
She's she's the perfect publicist character to me, Like she's the publicised last
41:52
Agent where she's just well, I'll just I'll just email them. I won't
41:57
call him since it's a you know, but I think he really likes her
42:00
because he puts her in everything he put her in and the Mandalorian and right,
42:07
yeah, pretty great. She's lovely, so that makes sense. She's
42:10
so good. Oh god, she's great. That was all I had though,
42:15
Bobby kind of ali. We kind of mentioned him early. He didn't
42:19
really get to do a lot, but I just thought I loved you great.
42:22
And between those two or those three cooks, like they're just that you
42:28
can tell they've been chopping it up in a kitchen for a lot of years.
42:30
You know. I love it. Nice. Okol, Well, let's
42:37
pick our favorite scene, and let's pick the dingus. The Vengus is quite
42:42
simple, really, Dingus Dingus. I can talk about my dingas all night
42:45
long. We got for this, Sammy. This was between two for me,
42:51
but they're they're so similar. I really loved the whole probably kind of
42:59
a stretch, but the whole like when he and his son, like from
43:05
when he and his son start like cleaning the truck yep, yeah, all
43:09
the way to when John like Ozamo gets there and then they're cooking. They're
43:14
like you know, prepping in and cooking yep, and they make the food
43:17
for the like the workers that helped them move stuff in and stuff. Yes
43:22
one too. I love that, like again, like the fast paced,
43:27
like high stakes, but like low steaks, but high stakes, you know,
43:32
feeling. I think that's where you get to see the passion that really
43:37
exists in kitchens so well so and I just love the dynamic between the sun
43:45
and like that whole I just loved it. It was exciting and made me
43:51
hungry. Oh those Cuban sandwiches look so so good. But I too,
43:58
I loved that because when he that's when he has the the talk with his
44:02
son, the sandwich gets burnt, He's like, what, they're not paying
44:06
for it anyway. Yeah, it's like he's like, whoaha, whoa,
44:08
we got to talk about this and got to just kind of I thought that
44:14
was the best scene, him talking to his son about that and why that
44:17
was not okay and that he loves this and wants to share with him.
44:22
I thought it was beautiful. Yeah. I love that. It's such a
44:27
good life lesson too, right, Like if you're going to do it.
44:30
Do it, you know, and like put your heart into it and take
44:34
some pride in it. Yeah, take some pride and be willing to go
44:37
the extra mile for people because it'll go a long way and all that stuff.
44:39
Right, Like, I think that's super important. That was definitely the
44:42
one I had as well, Rob, did you want to do a runner
44:45
up right now? My runner up was the New Orleans Cafe Dumont bit.
44:52
Yeah, and that he's like so proud of his son forgetting all those people
44:55
to the truck using social media. My kid did that. Yeah, I
45:00
loved that. But New Orleans is my favorite food city on the planet.
45:07
Well, it's so good, it's my favorite. And I got I was
45:10
there with Sammy five years ago, which was really fun. Crazy five years
45:16
ago. It was for our fifth anniversary, so chance that Sammy came down,
45:21
Tim Jenica came down. It was fun. But we just ate.
45:24
Let's do that sometime. I've come down for that. Yeah, for a
45:28
couple, I'll eat for two. Great. There was some eating. It
45:32
was so great. I had a rabbit gumbo when I was there. I
45:37
had Oh god, the food is all just so good, so good.
45:42
Yeah, And I think we went to Dumont every day I was there,
45:46
It's like, well, oh my kidding, that's what I want. Donuts
45:52
and that chickory coffee. It's pretty great. I need to see I need
45:57
to go back because I didn't really drink coffee at that point, so I
45:59
didn't even have that. I think I had milk like a champion or a
46:04
twelve year old whatever, like an eighties commercial. It's Michael Scott. A
46:10
lot of similarities, a lot of similarities. Did you ever runner up scene
46:15
or did you you picked that one scene? What was your I picked that
46:19
scene and I would even like if since we're extending it out, it's not
46:22
really one scene, it's one like part, but the like a beers that
46:25
they have afterward and them like giving the kid a beer. I just love
46:30
that dynamic of it came from like the pseudo uncle in John Leguizamo, you
46:35
know, and he was like, yeah, man, people in the kitchen,
46:37
they get to have a beer, so this is you. You're you're
46:40
part of it now, and then followed down with that funny line about like
46:45
yeah it tastes like doesn't it? You know, like all that stuff.
46:47
Remember, Yeah, I just think that's so so fun I love all that
46:53
I'm gonna I think that grilled cheese scene, oh yeah, is so good
47:00
good, and that like the crunch when he bites into that grilled cheese that
47:05
he makes for a son is just incredible. And then it's just like it's
47:08
the first time we see them kind of chopping it up and like hanging out
47:14
when they're talking about Twitter and like making a profile and all that which and
47:16
you can kind of see that kid like loves that. He just loves to
47:20
be a part of his life, you know. And I just so I
47:24
just love that scene and that seriously, that grilled cheese was like divine what
47:30
it looked great, crazy good, crazy good. Did you have another?
47:35
You said? Years was between two Sammy, did we name one of them?
47:37
The New Orleans? That whole scene, oh yeah, And I said
47:43
it was similar because well, the beginning part wasn't like the son and the
47:46
dad having their like hangout time, but then when they get back to the
47:51
truck and it's busy like all of that. But yeah, I loved it.
47:57
That choked me up a little bit actually, like when the line of
48:00
people were out there and he was like and then they realized that it was
48:06
his son, and he was like saying to people like, that's my son.
48:07
He did that so cute. My only other runner up was the scene
48:15
you had talked about, Sammy, the Robert Tony Junior scene, just because
48:19
it was so great, so much fun, just the back and forth and
48:22
what was going on there. Oh god, I would love to see bloopers
48:28
of that absolutely, just like he says, like a thousand words a minute
48:35
too, Yeah, so fast. I love that, so and so dry.
48:40
Yeah. Another think you feel like a turret because you're coming to your
48:43
ex wife. And I get it, I get it. Did we hook
48:47
up? I don't know. I don't know what happened. There was a
48:49
time. I don't remember. It's like, okay, come on, come
48:52
on nice all right, Well, I think we all agreed on the on
48:59
the day, so I think, so cool. Well then I think we
49:02
should get to some of these quotes. So let's show me the money,
49:06
show me the money, show me. All right, Sammy, you got
49:14
a couple. I have a few, say a few. Well, there's
49:20
one that I was like, I'm not writing this all, but I love
49:23
the Moulden lava cake speech where he comes in and yell yells at Riva or
49:30
not sorry, not Riva the critic because it's like two chef's names or something
49:37
that might be in trivia or something. Yeah, oh that's funny, yeah
49:43
he was. So it was like funny and also like a little scary and
49:49
also like a little sad. Yes, like it for sure? Yeah yeah,
49:57
yeah, so I loved that. To me, I did, I
50:02
feel like we are just grabbing from like other people's plates. I love that.
50:13
Yea, so good. But the other ones that I have there are
50:15
a lot of the like very first scene at the farmer's market with this kid,
50:22
just like a lot of and that was that was what So this first
50:24
one, then I'm going to say I went into this to the screenplay to
50:29
like get the wording right, and it wasn't even there. So he just
50:32
lived. But when he goes, how could you even want kettle corn with
50:37
a gorgeous piece of fruit like this in front of you? Why did you
50:38
have a piece of fruit? I just well, And then the hard cut
50:43
to the hard cut to them just perfect that line. I like took a
50:52
photo, I like screen grabbed it. It was like, so not that
50:58
find it okay, he says here he just the line as it was written
51:08
was I'm here for work. You want a piece of fruit, Let's get
51:10
you a piece of fruit. That's it. Wow, Okay, well that's
51:15
much worse. Yeah. He just turned it into like a playful little like
51:20
I just love that. That's so great and being really funny. So anyway,
51:27
so then I had in like later on in that same scene, he's
51:30
like, oh, the sausage guys here, you ever had you ever try
51:32
and dowe sausage? And he's like no, and he goes, it's spicy.
51:37
You like spicy? No, it's not spicy. I wouldn't wry about
51:43
it. And then later when they're like, uh, you know, traveling
51:51
between cities and the Martin starts putting corn starch down his pants. I forgot
51:58
about the y and he's like, dad, wake up, Martin's putting corn
52:01
starch on his balls. I love that. Oh, Sorria Watson here,
52:07
it's like baby powder, cool your nuts. It's nice. Right. What's
52:10
good is in the morning you can dip your nuts and oil and make hushpuppies.
52:15
Yeah. I love that lot at that. And then the last one
52:20
that I had was something we already mentioned when he takes him out like back
52:27
of the truck to be like I wrote it down, He's I may not
52:30
do everything great in my life. I'm not perfect. I'm not the best
52:32
husband, and I'm sorry if I wasn't the best father. But I'm good
52:35
at this. I want to share this with you. I want to teach
52:37
you what I've learned. I get to touch people's lives with what I do,
52:40
and it keeps me going. And I love it, and I think
52:43
if you give it a shot, you might love it too. Now should
52:45
we serve that sandwich? No? Shit? Now should we have served that
52:47
sandwich? And I love that because it's very touching. It shows his passion.
52:53
But it's also like earlier in the movie, he says to his like
52:57
girlfriend sort of that he doesn't really know his son right now, but in
53:00
this speech, he's showing that he's learning his son by learning, like you
53:05
might have what I have and they have something in common. And it's beautiful.
53:10
I love that. Yeah. Yeah. I also love how many like
53:14
just smattered throughout like was amo be like this is your kid? You know,
53:17
like are you sure this is your kid? And then it turns into
53:21
oh, it's definitely your kid, you know, Like yeah, that's so
53:23
fun. It also demonstrates like we eat three meals a day. If we're
53:30
lucky every single day, you don't think much about the sandwich that you eat.
53:35
But to him, this is literally this important. And I just it's
53:39
why we love food. If there's love in it, you can taste it.
53:45
But yeah, those are all the quotes. I had a lot of
53:49
those. That last one was for sure my favorite. I wrote down the
53:55
reply on Twitter and Ali, your class reply says that chef Carlcaster, I
54:05
would rather have you sit on my face after a brisk walk on a warm
54:08
day than suffer through that lava cake. Again. The fact that he was
54:15
the kid who had to deliver that, so I don't know if I should.
54:20
That was good. It's so good. I really enjoyed that. When
54:27
Robert Donny Junior is like, you're not a turd, a tird that lost
54:36
he kept calling him a turd over and over to the point where he was
54:42
like, I don't feel like a turd, right, Yeah, I don't.
54:45
That's not how I'm feeling word now, like the record estate. And
54:52
then when after he blows up and he's at the bar with Bobby Kinnavelly and
54:57
leg was Amos been drinking for a while. I think it was that time.
55:01
Maybe it's not he Legozamo super drunk. Hey, he just says,
55:05
I love you guys, Let's have a three way right here. I thought
55:08
that was really funny, so good. That was all I had. What
55:13
about you bukes? Nice? Another leg was ama one is when kind of
55:17
all like comes in after he's been like sleeping in his car drunk all night,
55:22
and he's like, shut up and taste this a moose douche, come
55:24
on, And it was just like, that is perfect. That's a beautiful
55:29
line. I love it. No notes on that. That's hilarious. When
55:34
his kid is signing him up for Twitter, he's like, is this for
55:37
sex? Gross? Gross? It's like is that as farts? So funny?
55:43
I love that. Let's see the I know I said it already.
55:49
But the Sedarius when he's talking to the publicist and he's like, okay,
55:52
hell's kitchen. Do you still want me to pursue it or no? And
55:55
he's like, no, I don't want you to pursue it. Okay,
55:58
we'll call them, but I will emil them so that'll be. I just
56:01
love that so much. It's so great, let's see why not do everything
56:07
you said that one? Oh I just love this that you're not ten,
56:15
your kitchen staff kids and staff doesn't have an age tastes like piss right worse.
56:19
You remember that when your friends offer you beer. Yeah, that's so
56:22
funny, so good. Oh and then when they're on the phone with the
56:30
Sophia Bergara and he's like, did you know your son can work a grill?
56:35
And she's like, be careful. And then her son from from like
56:37
when he's working, is like, I had beer, and she's like what
56:40
He's like, he says he misses you. He says he misses you.
56:45
I just thought that was so funny. And then I wrote down the entire
56:51
Carl Kasper review is so funny but it's too long to read. Yeah that
56:53
was also. At one point, someone just says Twitter and I was just
56:59
like, yeah, it's like no, no, why why? Why?
57:04
What? Why? So fun But yeah, I think that was all I
57:09
had too. We had a lot of overlap on this one. Well yeah,
57:14
let's uh, let's go to bugs, Boho moments, the Crying Game,
57:20
strong Men also cry strong Men. Also I picked four maybe five.
57:29
I put a fifth one down while we were talking the I think it's cool
57:36
that's hanging out like this like when you lived at home. He said to
57:38
him, Yeah, yea, that got me good. Yea. The scene
57:45
that I said was the best where he takes him aside, I'm good at
57:50
this. I want to share this with you. Yeah. The maybe is
57:55
when Samuel and I were talking about the New Orleans bits and he's like he's
58:00
out of his kid when the line is super long in New Orleans. Okay,
58:04
I love that, like the line that you both said where he's like,
58:07
that's my kid, that's my kid. Yeah, my kid did that
58:09
or whatever he says. Yeah, it's so good. When he tells him
58:15
that the summer is going to end and we're not going to be able to
58:16
keep doing this anymore. Yeah, that was hard. That's hard for sure.
58:22
And then I put down the video his son made and then immediately him
58:28
asking if he'll help him after school and on the weekends. That was so
58:32
cute. I loved it. That was the best. That was all I
58:36
had. Were there more booos? Yes? Okay, Sammy, do you
58:42
know where else he could have behooed? You said everything I thought? Did
58:50
the wedding get you at the end. Oh the wedding didn't get me.
58:54
It seemed like it could. I will say, So there's two more.
58:58
One of them Sammy mentioned earlier, and then one of them I don't think
59:04
we've mentioned at all. That's maybe not hopeful. I don't know the not
59:12
the actual review itself. No, nope, not that I should just tell
59:16
you the name of the movie you'd like to see, yes, Okay,
59:20
So the one that you mentioned Sammy was when he was like, I'm not
59:22
Dad material right now. If you had noticed I'm embarrassing like that was that
59:27
was tough. That was hard to hear and also, like you said,
59:30
a certain amount of like emotional intelligence to be able to say that and recognize
59:36
that, like, that's that's difficult. And the other one is when he
59:39
gets him the chef's knife. I loved that little scene and I thought that
59:43
was such a nice like passing of the torch kind of moment, right you
59:47
know. Yeah, but I kind of forgot it was in there, honestly
59:51
until I rewatched it. So it's an easy one to forget about, I
59:54
feel like. So, yeah, yeah, those were the only two.
59:58
So that makes what did we set up? Nice? Not bad? That
1:00:05
bad? Good work, everybody. Let's do a little movie trivia here.
1:00:09
I didn't have a ton, so he did a lot of John Favreau did
1:00:15
a lot of studying with the Los Angeles based chef Roy Choi, who consulted
1:00:22
on the film, and apparently they they worked in Roy's food truck and he
1:00:28
sent him. He sent Fabreau to a week of intensive French culinary schooling where
1:00:31
he sharpened his knife skills and learned how to make sauces. And he basically
1:00:36
said, I just brought him into the kitchen and he just kind of fit
1:00:37
in. I threw him a couple of tests, like chopping up an entire
1:00:42
case of chives or case of onions, or peel two cases of avocados,
1:00:46
and he just like went for it. And I didn't know how we would
1:00:50
react. So I thought that was pretty cool, and so I did the
1:00:53
Chef show. I'm gonna say that reminds me of the scene and the Bear
1:00:58
where yes, dude goes to the restaurant and he's only polishing silverware for or
1:01:06
something totally totally and I think that's like a thing because it seems to always
1:01:12
come up during these chef shows. But they also they had promotional events centering
1:01:17
on a fictional Cubano serving l half a truck, and it proved to be
1:01:22
so popular that those two then opened up a series of pop up restaurants and
1:01:27
announced that they were thinking about making you know, the truck permanent and stuff.
1:01:30
So I thought that was super cool. Wow. The Oliver Platt thing
1:01:35
I mentioned is I think he might do these these foody kind of chef movies
1:01:42
and shows. I guess the bears a program, but his brother is a
1:01:45
prominent food critic in New York City apparently, and he's invited Oliver on some
1:01:52
of his restaurant visits over the years and stuff. So maybe it's like a
1:01:54
fun homage or something. I don't know, but I thought that was kind
1:01:58
of cool. Yeah, those let's see, Oh, Sammy, I thought
1:02:04
you would like to hear this. Towards the film's ending, LFE truck is
1:02:08
seen at a nighttime food truck event along with many of the most popular food
1:02:12
trucks. This is an actual event in Venice called First Fridays, and apparently
1:02:19
they do it all the time. So that's just so Yeah, here's some
1:02:22
more Tribua. I have not been but the bar when the like sweeping shot
1:02:27
of the bar and then the like the bar that's right next to it,
1:02:30
and then the food truck area. Yeah. We were in Venice last year
1:02:36
because we don't go to Venice often, but Adam's high school buddies were came
1:02:43
to visit him, and so we were like trying to you know, show
1:02:45
them la. Yeah, and we went to that bar that they show in
1:02:50
all fun like. I like paused it and I was like, Adam,
1:02:52
come in here. Look that's the bar. That's the one, And there
1:02:54
was I don't know if it was the food truck thing, but there was
1:03:00
some event happening in that lot next to it. So I was like,
1:03:02
oh my god, that makes that's so funny. Yeah, wild I loved
1:03:07
that food truck place. We went to what was that? It's the best?
1:03:12
My good Austin too, where they have like a whole parking lot full
1:03:22
of them. Been there too. That's I love that. They get me
1:03:27
into trouble financially and otherwise. Yea here you I thought this was interering.
1:03:32
John Favreau said Twitter paid nothing for the product, placement or advertising in this
1:03:38
movie Wow, and apparently their only real interaction they had with them was they
1:03:44
wanted. They sent them some some tweaks for the animated logo the Twitter like
1:03:50
the little bird, and that was it. I guess the main part of
1:03:54
the plot point, A big part was for Twitter because if he, if
1:04:00
he knows how to work Twitter, he doesn't just message that guy. And
1:04:03
yeah, it's like the whole thing, right right, It's a big part
1:04:08
of it, and it's teaching people Twitter. This was, you know,
1:04:11
to the early stages of Twitter. It's probably helpful for both. Yeah,
1:04:15
so crazy, let's see all. I thought this was fun. Before this
1:04:19
film was produced, there was another film written by Stephen Knight with a similar
1:04:24
plot, also titled Chef, being developed by Sony Pictures since two thousand and
1:04:30
seven. When production of this movie started, Sony served Favreau's production company with
1:04:35
the Season assist over the title and apparent because apparently Sony had cleared the titles
1:04:41
Chef and the Chef with the MPAA, so they requested that they change the
1:04:47
title of this movie. Favre's film ended up with the title of Chef and
1:04:51
was released in twenty fourteen, while the Sony film changed its title to Adam
1:04:58
Jones in twenty fourteen and then retitled it again as Burnt in twenty fifteen when
1:05:03
it was released, that was the Bradley Cooper one. So I just thought
1:05:05
that was kind of fun, which I still haven't seen that one. Oh
1:05:10
it's great. It was pretty good. I saw it once on a plane,
1:05:13
so I liked it. It seems I like this one more. I
1:05:17
think, yeah too. But yeah, but it's still fun and he's pretty
1:05:21
great in it. But crazy, but John Favreau does not have any tattoos
1:05:27
in real life, but apparently, according to Roy Troy, many chefs get
1:05:32
tattoos as a way of demonstrating their commitment to their cooking craft, so Favreau
1:05:36
had some temporarily applied for the sake of authenticity. I was gonna like earlier,
1:05:42
I was going to say, like, what is it about chefs and
1:05:44
tattoos, because every time a chef is yeah, they so many. Totally.
1:05:53
When I was at the Gut three, we had one guy who worked
1:05:56
in the kitchen and he kept getting tattoos and it was always like a food
1:06:00
and so he got like the Simpsons, like pink donut. You just love
1:06:05
his both arms are just filled with different food items. It was pretty great.
1:06:11
That's cool. Yeah, I like that. That's fun. Oh I
1:06:16
saw that the thing that you said, actually, Sammy of many critics have
1:06:20
viewed this as an allegory to John Favreau's career as a director by going back
1:06:26
to his independent film roots, allowing him freedom to make his own decisions after
1:06:30
his time working under the close and demanding eye of Marvel Studios and you know,
1:06:33
bigger productions and things. But apparently Favreau has denied the comparison. And
1:06:39
it was like, oh, interesting, it seems like it's there though,
1:06:43
right, I don't know, but okay, whatever. And I thought we
1:06:47
would play a little game if you guys are into it, short, short
1:06:51
little game here, can you guys name the five cast members who previously appeared
1:06:57
in Marvel based films that are in this movie? And I would have had
1:07:01
a little trouble with this, so I thought it would be fun to ask.
1:07:03
You can go for it, Sammy, Okay, Robert Downey Jr.
1:07:10
Yeah, of course, Scarlett Johansson. Now that John Lock was Almo no
1:07:21
no, but we need to get him in. Let's do this thing.
1:07:29
Well, aside from Favreau, no fare is included in the five. I
1:07:32
should have said that, so him as well. Yeah, okay, and
1:07:35
he actually had two right because he did he was dared, Yeah, he
1:07:40
was, uh, what's the dude's name? And oh yeah happy? But
1:07:45
what's fun? Was he foggy in Daredevil? I don't know what. I
1:07:49
don't know. He's like Ben Affleck sidekick anyway. So yes, that's three,
1:07:57
and the last two are harder? Is it? Oliver Platt? He
1:08:02
is? That is the one I wouldn't have got in X Men First Class.
1:08:06
He's a CI agent. I didn't even see that. Yeah, I
1:08:11
thought that was tricky. And then the other one we kind of have mentioned
1:08:15
him, but it's a tricky one, trickier Bobby Canalli. Yes, and
1:08:23
he appeared in Your Your Better Half, Your Worse Half. Really, let's
1:08:28
be honest. He appeared in his favorite film of all time, ant Man.
1:08:31
You should have gotten that one. Of course you are in trouble,
1:08:39
But yeah, I thought that was fun. I would have remembered Oliver Platt.
1:08:42
I don't think. Oh, no, way, that's hard, that's
1:08:45
hard. No, that was fun. Oh that was all I had for
1:08:48
trivia. Did you have anything else? Rob? You said that, I
1:08:51
said anything else? No, And I don't think anybody else is up for
1:08:57
those roles. I think he got who he want. Yeah, I think,
1:09:00
like he said, it's like his his pals right right, they got
1:09:02
the money and they were like, let's go right, Well, will there
1:09:08
be a sequel judgment day No. I would love to see his son running
1:09:13
a kitchen at some point. That's a good idea. I love that.
1:09:16
And he's still Yeah, he's been acting. I haven't. I didn't see
1:09:21
the things that he's been acting, but he's he's still going for sure.
1:09:26
Good for him. And it was remade into an Indian comedy drama also titled
1:09:31
Chef. I saw that and I kind of want to start watching all because
1:09:35
there's the remakes. That's like a big thing that's been happening, is they'll
1:09:40
remake them like in Bollywood or whatever, and I kind of want to watch
1:09:44
all of them. It's fun. And then obviously he went on to make
1:09:47
The Chef Show, which is very much it's true like scripted or no,
1:09:55
it's it's like reality documentary kind of style. But it's great, it really
1:10:00
is. It's fun and it's pretty much him and that guy Roy Troy,
1:10:05
who he worked with on the film. They actually had him. Did you
1:10:10
guys watch through the credits at all. Yeah, they have a scene with
1:10:16
the actual chef and it's him teaching him how to do the grilled cheese and
1:10:23
like what he needs to be doing, and like all the focus. He's
1:10:27
like, all of your focus is here. Nothing else matters out here.
1:10:30
It's here. This is your world, and if this doesn't go right,
1:10:33
your world is gonna suck. He's just it's pretty great. He's a really
1:10:38
charismatic guy. He's got the riz. All right, do you want to
1:10:45
play a game? All right? I made a starting five again. So
1:10:50
this is where I'm gonna name my five favorite actors from a particular film.
1:10:55
When you know the film, ring in with your name. If you get
1:10:58
it wrong, no negative point, but you won't be able to guess again
1:11:00
for that movie. If their actors names remaining, you can guess those for
1:11:04
a point each. The other person can steal if you get any of those
1:11:09
names wrong. And all of these films have something in common. When you
1:11:14
know the theme, you can ring in at any time, And I feel
1:11:17
like we should. I always forget to mention this, but I play it
1:11:21
a lot more so I forget these things. Often the theme has something to
1:11:26
do with this movie. Not always, but I'm sure you would have known
1:11:31
that, Sammy, because you've been on here enough. But sometimes I get
1:11:34
