- 0:52Speaker 1: Noticed the drink hard, Greg Goose, and I regressed Sea Ice.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Hands and should be delighted. We're making a score better. Really, Yeah,
- 1:41Speaker 2: he's a German jerk. Welcome back. We are talking about.
- 1:49Speaker 1: The Dark Knight risis. Oh not a great sign.
- 1:53Speaker 2: So where did we leave off? You wanted to talk
- 1:55Speaker 2: about your favorite be in line.
- 1:57Speaker 1: So we're at Degas Play and he's frustrated about the
- 2:04Speaker 1: situation how Batman seized the object that he was holding
- 2:08Speaker 1: against Lena Kyle and also like, weren't we funding Baine's activities,
- 2:14Speaker 1: like what is going on? He like, why didn't Baine's
- 2:17Speaker 1: goon stop him? And then he's like and I was like,
- 2:21Speaker 1: he's like where is Baine? He's like this, here's name
- 2:26Speaker 1: the devil per Yeah, and I just love this moment
- 2:32Speaker 1: is so bizarre. So he's like comes up and he's like, oh,
- 2:38Speaker 1: then this the assistant is their striver and he's like,
- 2:42Speaker 1: go where and he just leaves and then he's like.
- 2:47Speaker 3: What.
- 2:48Speaker 1: He makes some comment about how like things aren't happen
- 2:50Speaker 1: the way we want to whatever, and then he just
- 2:53Speaker 1: puts his hand on his shoulder and he's like, were
- 2:56Speaker 1: we paid you a small fortion? I gives you power
- 3:02Speaker 1: over me? And it's like and he just slowly stets
- 3:05Speaker 1: grazing his face and then like he just i'll describe
- 3:08Speaker 1: it best crushes his head. And you don't see it
- 3:12Speaker 1: and think it's great. I think it's so insane.
- 3:14Speaker 2: I think, like, you know how some of your friends
- 3:17Speaker 2: that if they they would hate a clone of themselves. Yeah.
- 3:21Speaker 2: I think that Baine and the Joker would be buddies
- 3:23Speaker 2: in a lot of ways. They would hate each other
- 3:25Speaker 2: and probably try to kill each other, but that this
- 3:28Speaker 2: guy is a schemer. Uh and Bane sees that and
- 3:31Speaker 2: he does not like this.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Both of these Joker and Bain see leeches a mile
- 3:36Speaker 1: away and they're like, you are actually worse than me,
- 3:40Speaker 1: so like I need to just destroy you. But also
- 3:44Speaker 1: I'm pretty awful, But I just I like this moment
- 3:47Speaker 1: because like they they very rarely give Bane like great
- 3:51Speaker 1: villain moments really, but like the Joker has so many
- 3:55Speaker 1: just like niche moments that are so wonderful, and this
- 3:59Speaker 1: is when they just lay up. We're like Daggon is
- 4:01Speaker 1: a piece of garbage, and like why does Bane tolerate him?
- 4:04Speaker 1: And I just love how it just starts from like
- 4:06Speaker 1: my hand on your shoulder and just graze your face
- 4:09Speaker 1: and Daggon is so fucking scared of like why is
- 4:12Speaker 1: this person?
- 4:13Speaker 2: Well, Daggon's getting in his face and he's like, I
- 4:15Speaker 2: paid you all this money and you didn't fill up
- 4:17Speaker 2: your end of the bargain, and I'm like, what are
- 4:19Speaker 2: you doing?
- 4:20Speaker 1: Well, this is a huge mistake.
- 4:22Speaker 2: It's like yelling like if you've gotten a rhino's face that.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Started screaming exactly, And he's like, so this is the
- 4:27Speaker 1: only bottom of our plan and he's like so like
- 4:31Speaker 1: you do. He's like, he probably tells him, like, you
- 4:33Speaker 1: did your part, so I need to kill you now.
- 4:35Speaker 1: And it's I think a great scene.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Uh Marion Courtyard. Miranda Tate goes to Bruce's house and
- 4:43Speaker 2: Bruce is like, yeah, I still have the house, but
- 4:46Speaker 2: they turned the power off and great rich joke with
- 4:49Speaker 2: a lock. Great, yeah, yeah, I explain that.
- 4:53Speaker 1: She's like, can you get and he's like, I've never
- 4:55Speaker 1: had to use a key my entire life.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I don't have one, Like yeah, But they do get
- 4:59Speaker 2: in the house and this a fire and they fuck.
- 5:02Speaker 1: They connect emotionally.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Physically it looks great. They're both very good looking people.
- 5:09Speaker 2: And speaking of people Bruce wants to have sex with,
- 5:14Speaker 2: he meets up a catwoman.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Who oh wait, we've we've skipped over one thing that's
- 5:18Speaker 1: infuriating he is. She's uncovering a lot of the stuff
- 5:23Speaker 1: since Alfred left were covered in like like sheets and
- 5:26Speaker 1: blankets whatever. And one of them is a picture of Rachel.
- 5:30Speaker 1: It's a picture of Rachel at the dinner scene with
- 5:33Speaker 1: her and Harvey Dent from The Dark Knight. I'm like, Bruce,
- 5:35Speaker 1: did you have a fucking phone out?
- 5:37Speaker 2: I didn't. In theory I didn't realize it was from
- 5:40Speaker 2: that scene.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Fucking infury that actually it happens in so many movies.
- 5:44Speaker 2: We're liked, here's the picture.
- 5:46Speaker 1: It's not it's not their fault. It's movies in the
- 5:49Speaker 1: universe's fault. Where like everyone's like, hey, how are reminded
- 5:52Speaker 1: of this personal Let me take you let me s like,
- 5:54Speaker 1: let me show you a photo the person that never
- 5:56Speaker 1: existed U Andiana Jones everything.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Yeahs even from a scene in a prior movie where
- 6:01Speaker 2: no one had a camera.
- 6:02Speaker 1: And then here's the crazy part, like Goodfellas, what a shock.
- 6:07Speaker 1: You have a lot of things. They have shots of
- 6:10Speaker 1: Henry with like de Niro and also like Joe Pasty's
- 6:16Speaker 1: character is Tommy, and it's like they're like actual polaroids,
- 6:22Speaker 1: like he's holding them and it's like at a first
- 6:25Speaker 1: like a kid's first birthday party. Yeah, they're just wonderful. Mike.
- 6:29Speaker 1: You guys can't even like fake that. We can't photoshop that.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Yeah, like why why are you get a different background?
- 6:36Speaker 2: Nobody even notice exactly like a different color.
- 6:39Speaker 1: It's so deranged to me. I don't get it at all.
- 6:42Speaker 2: I agree. So she's so Batman goes under and into
- 6:46Speaker 2: the sewers with Catwoman and she's she's like, I know
- 6:49Speaker 2: where you can find Bane.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Got shocked by the way of her sitting with the
- 6:54Speaker 1: trains going by a plus moment.
- 6:56Speaker 2: I don't even remember that.
- 6:58Speaker 1: When she when he walks into the train and she's
- 7:00Speaker 1: like sitting there and she's in the beam between the trains,
- 7:04Speaker 1: and she was like, didn't think you'd show up.
- 7:08Speaker 2: And he says, she says, didn't think you'd shown me.
- 7:12Speaker 2: She says, didn't think you'd show And then you hear
- 7:15Speaker 2: Batman say I'm your uncle Berry. Uh. So she's explaining
- 7:22Speaker 2: right what.
- 7:23Speaker 1: The director's cut with the commentary by George P. Cost mottos, Hey,
- 7:28Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it by myself.
- 7:30Speaker 2: I think so. In Kingdom of Heaven, right.
- 7:35Speaker 1: You know, Kurk Russell directed most of that movie.
- 7:38Speaker 2: I got recommended a video the other day and it
- 7:40Speaker 2: was some film nerds like own personal YouTube channel, and
- 7:44Speaker 2: it was about Kingdom of Heaven, and I clicked on
- 7:46Speaker 2: it and it began like, I think Kingdom of Heaven
- 7:48Speaker 2: is the most on dursion movie of all time, and
- 7:50Speaker 2: I just x out.
- 7:53Speaker 1: We're winning.
- 7:55Speaker 2: So Calm explains, these guys are not your average brawlers,
- 8:00Speaker 2: and Batman says, neither am I. So I thought, I
- 8:06Speaker 2: love love this scene.
- 8:08Speaker 1: This is a great montage, is so awesome.
- 8:11Speaker 2: And so basically there's like they're in the sewers and
- 8:15Speaker 2: there's this it's very video gaming, but I don't care.
- 8:19Speaker 2: There's this bridge, this pedestrian bridge, because everybody knows sewers
- 8:23Speaker 2: are filled with pedestrian bridges, and Batman like, what.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Are you surprised there? Yeah the question.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Honestly, yes, they kind of are there.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:35Speaker 2: So he walks into this pedestrian bridge and then Catwoman
- 8:38Speaker 2: closes a gate behind him, so he's locked in and
- 8:41Speaker 2: he's trapped in this bridge. And then he turned so
- 8:45Speaker 2: he realizes, oh, Catwoman just betrayed me. So he says,
- 8:49Speaker 2: you've made a serious mistake. Then you hear not as
- 8:52Speaker 2: serious as yours. I fear.
- 8:55Speaker 1: We mean, I'm sorry. Can we cut back to one moment?
- 8:58Speaker 2: No, we can't cover every sentence of this movie. You
- 9:00Speaker 2: realize we're already in birth three.
- 9:02Speaker 1: This this movie deserves it.
- 9:04Speaker 2: You keep shitting on it.
- 9:06Speaker 1: I love this movie. To go back before this, there's
- 9:10Speaker 1: a moment where Bruce Wayne in real life goes to
- 9:12Speaker 1: s Kyle's place, and he's like, hey, I just need
- 9:16Speaker 1: to confirm, like you live here, and also like I
- 9:20Speaker 1: now have nothing. It's like, what do I do?
- 9:22Speaker 2: We already talked about this scene. Yeah, because she says, oh,
- 9:25Speaker 2: so the original did you lost everything? And he goes, no,
- 9:27Speaker 2: I still have in my house and then she says,
- 9:29Speaker 2: so the original poor as the rest of us.
- 9:32Speaker 1: I'm sorry you lost all your money. He goes, no,
- 9:33Speaker 1: you're not. H Yeah, hey, everyone, this is the end
- 9:38Speaker 1: of the episode.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Thanks everyone so much. Well, we didn't say that specific lines,
- 9:42Speaker 2: but we did. Sorry, sorry, go ahead. So then he
- 9:45Speaker 2: says Sabaine says, let's not stand on ceremony, mister Wayne,
- 9:50Speaker 2: and then it cuts the catwoman and she seems fucking
- 9:53Speaker 2: shocked that batman is Bruce Wayne, and I'm like, really, yeah,
- 9:59Speaker 2: because she wouldn't tend to be shocked in the scene,
- 10:01Speaker 2: because why would you pretend? And uh, he has the
- 10:05Speaker 2: the famous famous line victory, how's Jaffrieder? Meaning Okay, every
- 10:12Speaker 2: fucking guy you ever fought in the last ten years
- 10:16Speaker 2: is going to lose in a fistfight to you. And
- 10:21Speaker 2: he says basically like you're you're you've gone soft because
- 10:26Speaker 2: of your assumption of victory in all the conflicts you
- 10:29Speaker 2: get in. And what I think is so great about
- 10:34Speaker 2: Baine is he just flat out loses this fight to Bain.
- 10:40Speaker 1: They cut the music. It looks so good. It's phenomenal.
- 10:45Speaker 1: This whole scene is great.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Batman is doing all his Batman Ninja karate and.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Thatches the fist and he says, nothing is great.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Batman is going like good, good, good good, punching Baine
- 10:56Speaker 2: over and over again. Then Bain will just like take
- 10:59Speaker 2: ten shots that unfaze him and then just grab Batman.
- 11:03Speaker 1: And deliver three that murder him.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Yes, and uh, he says something. He's like, he says, uh,
- 11:10Speaker 2: what does he say? He's like the Act for Countering
- 11:14Speaker 2: and Deception of the Uninitially you.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Can tell as a viewer because you've loved these movies
- 11:19Speaker 1: the past two movies. Badman gets desperate and throws the
- 11:23Speaker 1: smoke bomb things and literally two of them hit Bane's
- 11:27Speaker 1: chest and he does nothing.
- 11:29Speaker 2: He doesn't even blink in the fact there's smoke bombs
- 11:31Speaker 2: going off.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Because he knows it's going to happen.
- 11:33Speaker 2: It's like a child if if if you were going
- 11:35Speaker 2: to fight an eight year old and then the eight
- 11:38Speaker 2: year old threw those little like those little like rolled
- 11:42Speaker 2: up fireworks that you throw on the ground and they pop,
- 11:44Speaker 2: and he threw them at your feet. You would just
- 11:46Speaker 2: be like, what, I love party papers.
- 11:51Speaker 4: And he said, uh, you fight like a younger man,
- 11:55Speaker 4: nothing held back. Admirable but mistaken.
- 12:00Speaker 2: And uh so he's Batman is fighting like he's in
- 12:05Speaker 2: his physical because the thing about boxing, they always say
- 12:09Speaker 2: style makes styles make fights, but also like you can
- 12:12Speaker 2: be a really smart ring technician that knows how to
- 12:16Speaker 2: bait your opponent into fighting the way you want to fight,
- 12:21Speaker 2: and Batman's not doing that. He's just going straight at
- 12:24Speaker 2: him like, oh, I'm just gonna beat him.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Up, just desperately throw everything an at him.
- 12:28Speaker 2: And then he's so desperate he uses his gadget to
- 12:30Speaker 2: turn all the lights off, and Bain says, you.
- 12:34Speaker 4: Think darkness is your ally, you mainly adopted the dark.
- 12:39Speaker 2: I was born in it. I will show you where
- 12:43Speaker 2: I made my home. Then I will break you. And
- 12:48Speaker 2: he he's punching Batman in the face over and over
- 12:51Speaker 2: again to the point where his is armored.
- 12:55Speaker 1: It looks so good.
- 12:56Speaker 2: His armored helmet is breaking.
- 12:58Speaker 1: It looks so good.
- 13:00Speaker 2: It looks so good. So Bruce's face is like covered
- 13:02Speaker 2: in blood. He's breaking his helmet, and then you know,
- 13:06Speaker 2: like there's certain steps where you think, oh no, the
- 13:10Speaker 2: hero's in trouble. But if you cross a certain line,
- 13:13Speaker 2: like if Bruce gott his leg cut off, you'd be like,
- 13:15Speaker 2: there's no returning from this. So during this scene, he's
- 13:19Speaker 2: getting he's losing the fight. And then the ceiling blows
- 13:21Speaker 2: open and all of Batman's armory falls into the sewer.
- 13:25Speaker 1: They realized they were Underwayne Tech the entire time.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Yes good, and Bain is like, we stole your entire army.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I have always been ahead of you. It's not even
- 13:36Speaker 1: a matter of like.
- 13:37Speaker 2: So now he has an army of batmobiles. Yeah, and
- 13:40Speaker 2: all of the other gadgets except for the bat the plane.
- 13:44Speaker 2: He has all the gadgets the Batman's ever used. He
- 13:46Speaker 2: has like ten of them. He's going to distribute to
- 13:48Speaker 2: his his thugs.
- 13:51Speaker 4: And he says, I was wondering what would break first,
- 13:55Speaker 4: your spirit or your body.
- 13:57Speaker 2: And he does the famous pro wrestling of where he
- 14:00Speaker 2: lifts Batman up in the air and he delivers a
- 14:03Speaker 2: backbreaker where he breaks his spine over his knee and.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Actually it actually fades out for the first time ever
- 14:12Speaker 1: in this entire series. Yes, what do you think of
- 14:17Speaker 1: this as a viewer? What do you how do you feel.
- 14:19Speaker 2: About this in terms of what specifically about this?
- 14:26Speaker 1: Bruce's spirit is already broken. So I always feel like,
- 14:32Speaker 1: well I would.
- 14:32Speaker 2: Say I would know you Bruce's spirit is never completely broken.
- 14:35Speaker 1: No, it's it's it's it never because he's reprogrammed himself
- 14:40Speaker 1: since they reproven he is meant to be this. But
- 14:42Speaker 1: I feel like with Bruce's like choice, like I'm going
- 14:46Speaker 1: to like stop because Rachel passed away and then crime
- 14:50Speaker 1: was somewhat alleviated, and then like the idea is like that,
- 14:53Speaker 1: like atrophy of his life got so how this guy best,
- 15:01Speaker 1: like it became so prominent that, like Baine is getting
- 15:07Speaker 1: Bruce had a weaker spot even though he has like
- 15:09Speaker 1: that knee contraption.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's also he's beat to shit. Yeah.
- 15:15Speaker 1: I always felt like the amazing is maybe like Bruce,
- 15:19Speaker 1: like so like after the Dark Knight, like Bruce is
- 15:23Speaker 1: accused of the three two or three murders of Worts,
- 15:28Speaker 1: a corrupt cup and a gangster and whoever else, and
- 15:35Speaker 1: the idea is like that Bruce keeps going. Bruce realizes like, okay,
- 15:41Speaker 1: like I have to, like the only way this stuff
- 15:44Speaker 1: stays maintained because we talked about it earlier, like after
- 15:47Speaker 1: it begins in the dark Knight Gotham seems to get
- 15:50Speaker 1: worse if I keep going, there's some equilibrium here, And
- 15:56Speaker 1: I wonder I'm always curious about, like if he stayed
- 15:58Speaker 1: being Batman even though like crime somewhat rescinded and like
- 16:04Speaker 1: being breaks him. Here is that break bigger? Where like, hey,
- 16:08Speaker 1: even when you are like pinned with murders and everyone
- 16:11Speaker 1: hated you and your hands were extra money, would this
- 16:16Speaker 1: break count more? I know, just what do you like
- 16:19Speaker 1: I'm describe it?
- 16:20Speaker 2: But like, well, I think that he stopped being Batman.
- 16:24Speaker 2: I understand because the racial thing, but like also because
- 16:26Speaker 2: it would be impossible to be Batman because he would
- 16:28Speaker 2: be so hunted all the time.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Yes, oh so, and.
- 16:32Speaker 2: It would hinder like all criminal investigations. So I think
- 16:36Speaker 2: it would be more impactful if this story were to
- 16:38Speaker 2: happen to a prime Batman, because he's not in his prime.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Yeah, but then but then he hasn't been Batman for
- 16:48Speaker 1: so long.
- 16:48Speaker 2: I think I feel like it's That's why I think
- 16:50Speaker 2: it would be more impactful if he was in his prime.
- 16:53Speaker 2: He's he's he has a ring rust they call it
- 16:55Speaker 2: in boxing, whereas like you can train all day, but
- 16:59Speaker 2: being a real fight is different than training. So if
- 17:02Speaker 2: you have ring rust, that can seriously affect you something.
- 17:08Speaker 2: And he so we we don't see where Bruce goes. Uh.
- 17:14Speaker 2: Selena is basically like Catwoman is the most street smart
- 17:20Speaker 2: character in this entire trilogy, So like.
- 17:24Speaker 1: We should mention like when she screws him over, they
- 17:27Speaker 1: cut back you like three times and then she's like,
- 17:30Speaker 1: oh fuck, I never thought it would go this far.
- 17:32Speaker 2: Well, what does she think was gonna happen? That they
- 17:34Speaker 2: were gonna not kill him? I agree like that just
- 17:36Speaker 2: and she says, I did this because they were constantly
- 17:39Speaker 2: trying to kill me, like the League of Shadows was
- 17:41Speaker 2: constantly trying to kill me, and as good as I am, yeah,
- 17:44Speaker 2: one day they're gonna do it. So she was like,
- 17:46Speaker 2: they promised the would leave me alone if I did this, And.
- 17:52Speaker 1: She s the airport and Blake follows her.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Yes, Blake follows her.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Great little scene here, Yeah, well why is it little
- 18:00Speaker 1: scene when she realizes that like the people are following
- 18:05Speaker 1: her and she goes to the emergency exit. Did she
- 18:08Speaker 1: run that big hat?
- 18:10Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 18:10Speaker 1: And he's like, may I need your d show? Okay? Fine?
- 18:12Speaker 1: She like, can you hold this hat? And she punches
- 18:14Speaker 1: the guy for the hat. Yes. Then Blake gets her
- 18:17Speaker 1: before she gets the plane, and Blake's like.
- 18:20Speaker 2: She said Blake. Blake knows and says did they kill him?
- 18:25Speaker 2: And she responds, I'm not sure, but.
- 18:27Speaker 1: I like too. Is that Blake is going through the
- 18:29Speaker 1: formalities at first, and then he says that I like
- 18:32Speaker 1: that a lot.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, because they both know what's really going on.
- 18:37Speaker 2: So now Bruce is in a prison and Bain says,
- 18:45Speaker 2: you don't figure death, you welcome it.
- 18:49Speaker 4: Your punishment must be more severe torture, but not of
- 18:53Speaker 4: your body, of your soul, and he basically is explaining
- 18:58Speaker 4: the biggest torture is whole because this prison is built.
- 19:02Speaker 2: We don't know what country this is in, so I
- 19:05Speaker 2: don't know how they transported him there. But there's a
- 19:08Speaker 2: prison built in in a hole in the desert. It's
- 19:11Speaker 2: an underground prison and all the cells are there, and
- 19:15Speaker 2: in the ceiling of the prison there is a tunnel
- 19:18Speaker 2: to escape, a tunnel going up where you constantly see
- 19:21Speaker 2: the sunlight. And what Bain is saying as that hope
- 19:25Speaker 2: is torture. Because hope is false, then you're doomed. And
- 19:32Speaker 2: you'd rather be in a prison completely underground with no
- 19:36Speaker 2: possibility of escape than a prison where you think. So
- 19:41Speaker 2: you're telling me there's a chance, you know what I.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Mean, It's more torturous to see the light in the
- 19:47Speaker 1: way out.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Yeah, And he says basically, he's like, I'm going to
- 19:52Speaker 2: Your back is broken, you can't move, You're laying in
- 19:54Speaker 2: this bed. I have a prison, I have a television
- 19:57Speaker 2: facing you. You're going to lay in this prison. And
- 20:00Speaker 2: watched me destroy Gotham nuclear vombit And he says, and
- 20:06Speaker 2: why don't you just dumb when Gotham is Ashras.
- 20:10Speaker 4: Then you have my permission to die Gray line.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Now this is the football stadium.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Afterwards, before this, we see Selena going to blacka prison.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Yeah. She gets arrested at the airport and send a
- 20:32Speaker 2: Blackade prison with men. She breaks that guy's hands. They go,
- 20:37Speaker 2: you can't put a woman in here, and they said, dudo,
- 20:40Speaker 2: like overcrowding or whatever. She's going in Black eight and
- 20:43Speaker 2: some dude tries to grab her and she breaks his
- 20:46Speaker 2: handsome fingers and then the guard says she's gonna be fine.
- 20:49Speaker 1: It was the whole idea too, like the idea of
- 20:51Speaker 1: like the Dent Act was like over correcting.
- 20:54Speaker 2: Yes, like the Patriot Act.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Say that Dark Knight, Sorry, go back to the Dark Knight.
- 21:03Speaker 2: Yeah, we already, we did that one already. So then.
- 21:07Speaker 1: Bain takes over the board at Wayne mannor I'm sorry
- 21:11Speaker 1: Wayne Enterprises.
- 21:13Speaker 2: Um, yes, yeah, any.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Board members to sign off on the fusion reactor or
- 21:21Speaker 1: is it to initiate the future reactor?
- 21:22Speaker 2: Yeah. So Bain shows up to a board meeting of
- 21:24Speaker 2: Wayne Enterprises and Lucius is like, this is not good.
- 21:29Speaker 2: I really enjoyed. There's a I can't remember when, but
- 21:31Speaker 2: I just wrote this down. There's a moment where there
- 21:34Speaker 2: is an explosion like in Bain's presence, and he doesn't
- 21:38Speaker 2: react at all. He doesn't blink, he doesn't flinch, He
- 21:42Speaker 2: just it's fine. But they take so they take the
- 21:46Speaker 2: board members hostage and they say we're going to turn
- 21:50Speaker 2: on the reactor and he points a gun at Lucius
- 21:55Speaker 2: and says turn the reactor on or I will kill you.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Lucius knows doing this will basically nuke your bomb Gotham City.
- 22:02Speaker 2: So Lucius says, like, kill me, I'm not going to
- 22:04Speaker 2: do it.
- 22:05Speaker 1: Yeah, great moment of respect, honestly, and.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Then Miranda Tates says, Lucius, this is stupid. I'll arm
- 22:11Speaker 2: it because he's gonna kill us all if we don't.
- 22:13Speaker 1: She's not wrong in that moment.
- 22:15Speaker 2: She's not wrong.
- 22:17Speaker 1: This has the best baneline of all time. What with
- 22:20Speaker 1: doctor Pavel there.
- 22:22Speaker 2: I thought it was thank you, it was I'm sorry.
- 22:26Speaker 1: I'm actuallying this about thirty thousand great band lines. She
- 22:30Speaker 1: just peeks, puts in and says.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Do your work.
- 22:35Speaker 1: I love that so much.
- 22:37Speaker 2: Now we get to the football stadium scene. This was
- 22:41Speaker 2: filmed at the Pittsburgh Steelers stadium. The Steelers players are
- 22:48Speaker 2: Gotham players, so unfortunately Ben rapeless berger throwing picks and
- 22:53Speaker 2: assault and chicks. He has been accused of sexual assault
- 22:57Speaker 2: multiple times. He got suspended by the NFL four games
- 23:01Speaker 2: because he was repeatedly accused of sexual assault. Why that's
- 23:04Speaker 2: worth mentioning. It was the same amount of games that
- 23:07Speaker 2: Tom Brady was suspended for for allegedly deflating footballs. It
- 23:12Speaker 2: was also for four games. Is more than Ray Rice
- 23:18Speaker 2: was initially suspended for knocking out his girlfriend unconscious. So yeah,
- 23:24Speaker 2: heinz Ward, who's a Steelers player maybe a Hall of Famer,
- 23:29Speaker 2: is in a very very famous shot where he's catching
- 23:32Speaker 2: a touchdown pass and behind him as he's running into
- 23:35Speaker 2: the end zone, the stadium implodes under itself.
- 23:38Speaker 1: He also got an action figure for this movie.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Yeah, what's his character name? Gotham Rogues player, Gotham Rooks player.
- 23:46Speaker 2: All right, so yeah, why don't you explain this this
- 23:51Speaker 2: scene and with all the cops in the tunnels, I
- 23:53Speaker 2: don't remember.
- 23:55Speaker 1: I agree, So Gotham Rose, you're playing Rapid City.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Thanks for telling us those two fictional team names.
- 24:05Speaker 1: The Rapid City is really good actually this year. So
- 24:09Speaker 1: the cops I understanding that Bane has been based on
- 24:12Speaker 1: the Sewers. They're going to quote unquote and Dave the Sewers,
- 24:18Speaker 1: and then.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Sorry, Ban's wearing an awesome coat. O. Dude, Shannon actually
- 24:26Speaker 2: asked me for your band costume. Did you try to
- 24:28Speaker 2: get that coat? And I said I did, but it
- 24:31Speaker 2: was like four hundred dollars.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Just like it's just like the next like, oh, they
- 24:37Speaker 1: were not questioning a thing moment.
- 24:39Speaker 2: It's like if you combined a bomber jacket with like
- 24:41Speaker 2: a duster. It's really weird, but.
- 24:43Speaker 1: It's just so it's I'm like this, this fits so right.
- 24:47Speaker 2: It looks warm.
- 24:49Speaker 1: So the cops going to the sewers to like find
- 24:53Speaker 1: and it's like three thousand cops.
- 24:57Speaker 2: And then.
- 25:02Speaker 1: The game's got to start. This is the famous Triller moment.
- 25:06Speaker 1: The kid starts to sing being has the famous line.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Love yeah little boy singing a little weird comment, Hey boss,
- 25:18Speaker 2: I got you this jacket. Oh fucking this jacket is
- 25:22Speaker 2: very cool.
- 25:24Speaker 1: There's leaves.
- 25:27Speaker 2: But I feel like stefan er call in this joker.
- 25:32Speaker 1: If you're if you're like, what's his name? I guy
- 25:34Speaker 1: that can't like a gooon of him? You're like, what
- 25:37Speaker 1: is this? What is this thing? I used to work
- 25:39Speaker 1: with the Joker in this fucking eye here, Like what
- 25:41Speaker 1: he's work with you?
- 25:42Speaker 5: Sinc.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Yeah, so what happened to the Joker? By the way,
- 25:46Speaker 2: shut up, shut up.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Don't talk about it. Oh but no, so while he's
- 25:53Speaker 1: while this is happening.
- 25:55Speaker 2: The we don't talk about Bruno.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Turns out they have been lining the cement to make
- 26:04Speaker 1: cement bombs.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Yeah, so the cement used to like build. The stadium
- 26:08Speaker 2: is lined.
- 26:08Speaker 1: With same seems to be established for quite some time. Yeah,
- 26:11Speaker 1: I don't know, so the stadium implos and exposed at
- 26:16Speaker 1: the same time. There's also some truly incredible shots of
- 26:21Speaker 1: sewers blowing up, bridges blowing up. It looks amazing.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Yeah, because Gotham, apparently, like Manhattan, is an island. Yeah,
- 26:31Speaker 2: so if all the bridges blow up, you can't leave.
- 26:35Speaker 1: So as they blow up, Tim was mentioning hines Ward
- 26:39Speaker 1: is running. The field deteriorates as he runs through, and
- 26:43Speaker 1: he's like the only survivor. And then they cut to
- 26:49Speaker 1: the first time ever in this entire franchise, the government,
- 26:53Speaker 1: like national government watching what's happening.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Also the mayor Nestor Carbonell. Alright, he blows up.
- 27:03Speaker 1: But the government general guy with the thick eyebrows.
- 27:07Speaker 2: I was like, I thought he was supposed to be
- 27:08Speaker 2: the president now, so.
- 27:10Speaker 1: They show the President wants on TV when Bruce is
- 27:13Speaker 1: watching it. Okay, the guy with like the decorated like
- 27:16Speaker 1: military stuff looks so much like the guy from The
- 27:19Speaker 1: Incredibles who like is the handler of Bob. I was like, wait,
- 27:25Speaker 1: is the wait? Is this the same universe?
- 27:27Speaker 2: Yes?
- 27:30Speaker 1: So bame after it's astroid comes out and he displays
- 27:37Speaker 1: doctor Povel and he's like, uh, what is this and
- 27:42Speaker 1: explains the nuclear reactor Doctor Povel, and he's like, who
- 27:46Speaker 1: is the only person who can.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Yeah, he was the only person on earth who can
- 27:49Speaker 2: disarm this nuclear bomb. Doctor Povel says me.
- 27:53Speaker 1: Yes, and Bain cracks his neck in public. The crowd
- 27:56Speaker 1: reaction is unreal kills him. So Bain is like, Okay,
- 28:02Speaker 1: that's how it's gonna be, and he explains that this
- 28:06Speaker 1: bomb that demands designed is gonna be traveling around town.
- 28:10Speaker 1: There's one person in golfing moves the triggerman. You will
- 28:13Speaker 1: never know who they are, but excuse me, that's how
- 28:17Speaker 1: it's gonna be.
- 28:18Speaker 2: And yeah, we're gonna there that we have this bomb.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Nobody knows who holds the trigger, but yeah, it's a
- 28:25Speaker 2: citizen that holds the trigger.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Excuse me, that's a gasp of that count?
- 28:31Speaker 2: No, I don't think that counts. You're you're already a
- 28:33Speaker 2: plus two. But so, why is Joseph Gordon Levitt not
- 28:40Speaker 2: in the tunnels with all the other cups.
- 28:43Speaker 1: When they were going down. He became a detective. She's
- 28:46Speaker 1: not a patrolman. He doesn't have to do it. Technically,
- 28:49Speaker 1: I thought, I thought again, not super explained. But as
- 28:52Speaker 1: you said, movie, who cares?
- 28:55Speaker 2: He said? He says, they were like, hey, Blake, come
- 28:59Speaker 2: to the tunnels with us, and he goes, hold on, fellows,
- 29:01Speaker 2: I'm gonna enjoy a cool, refreshing Mulboro cigarette. He looks
- 29:06Speaker 2: right at the camera and winks, do you guys on
- 29:10Speaker 2: the state side made serf side, which.
- 29:14Speaker 1: Is ice Team vodka and a can.
- 29:16Speaker 2: No shits delicious? Who cares about this activity in the town?
- 29:21Speaker 2: Band explains, we are liberators. We are like he mentions,
- 29:27Speaker 2: I like this line again, this is very Occupy Wall
- 29:29Speaker 2: Street relevant. Now he says, we're here to do something
- 29:35Speaker 2: about the myth of opportunity, this whole idea, which it
- 29:39Speaker 2: feels very true now that any American can pull themselves
- 29:44Speaker 2: up from their bootstraps. And it's kind of fitting because
- 29:47Speaker 2: Bruce Wayne was not a bootstrap. Guys, Bruce Wayne was
- 29:51Speaker 2: born a billionaire. Yes, and he's had he now has
- 29:56Speaker 2: his arsenal, So he has tumblers patrolling the streets keeping
- 30:00Speaker 2: ball in line, and all the bridges are blown up,
- 30:03Speaker 2: so they're all trapped here with the nuclear bomb and
- 30:07Speaker 2: another actor out of the ether, Bunny Colvin from the Wire.
- 30:14Speaker 2: What is his name? Do you know? Is it Robert Coleman? Am? I,
- 30:19Speaker 2: But I don't think it's Coleman because his last name
- 30:21Speaker 2: on the wire is Colvin, So that would just be
- 30:23Speaker 2: very odd coincidence, So I'm gonna google it. Bunny Colvin
- 30:28Speaker 2: is portrayed by actor Robert Wisdom. My bad, sorry, and
- 30:34Speaker 2: he is. He's basically like, so the Baand's henchmen say
- 30:40Speaker 2: to the army who are approaching the bridges. They're like,
- 30:43Speaker 2: we're gonna help evaccivate hostages. And Band's henchmen say, no,
- 30:47Speaker 2: you're not turn them away if they come here, And
- 30:50Speaker 2: the Army's like, why would we If people are trying
- 30:53Speaker 2: to escape the city, civilians, We're not gonna turn them away.
- 30:57Speaker 2: We're gonna accept them. There's nothing you can do about that.
- 30:59Speaker 2: And Baines's henchman says, if one person crosses these bridges,
- 31:03Speaker 2: we're going to deatonate the nuclear bomb.
- 31:05Speaker 1: I hate how you say, bains henceman, because like, who
- 31:08Speaker 1: is it our favorite guy, Josh Stewart, Yeah, mustache coach guy,
- 31:14Speaker 1: beautiful man.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Yeah, And then pain goes into black eatee prison, releases
- 31:19Speaker 2: all the prisoners and gives every single one of them
- 31:21Speaker 2: a gun.
- 31:22Speaker 1: Is the eighth plus moment. This time movie this, this,
- 31:25Speaker 1: this movie dunks a thousand times.
- 31:27Speaker 2: He gives all every prisoner like an AK forty seven
- 31:30Speaker 2: as they're leaving the jail. How does that work? Yeah,
- 31:32Speaker 2: that'd be such a bad idea.
- 31:36Speaker 1: I love this moment so much, like you, you already
- 31:39Speaker 1: gave a absolute killer speech. Why did I give you one more?
- 31:44Speaker 1: It's so good?
- 31:46Speaker 2: Yeah? And uh, he says like he was. You know,
- 31:50Speaker 2: Bain's talking about their plan.
- 31:52Speaker 4: He says, courts will convene, spoils will be enjoyed, and we're.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Gonna get to the courts later, which are pretty great.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Good time. My favorite line of this whole speech what
- 32:03Speaker 1: just againing? And how good with performances and he shows
- 32:07Speaker 1: like a Gotham was yours and do as you please?
- 32:12Speaker 1: And it's just the hammlements of like this. It's he's
- 32:16Speaker 1: so great.
- 32:17Speaker 2: I don't remember how. It doesn't matter how it's revealed,
- 32:20Speaker 2: but the Bruce is in prison in the desert, and
- 32:23Speaker 2: he realizes the backstory of Bain is this mercenary had
- 32:28Speaker 2: a baby in the prison. This woman had a baby
- 32:32Speaker 2: in the prison, and the baby was raised in the
- 32:35Speaker 2: prison and tortured and eventually escaped the prison. And the
- 32:39Speaker 2: baby that escaped the eventually escaped the prison was Baine,
- 32:41Speaker 2: but it's revealed that raychel Ghoul was Bain's father. He
- 32:45Speaker 2: was a mercenary that impregnated a woman who gave birth
- 32:48Speaker 2: in this prison.
- 32:50Speaker 1: I don't like your blatant disrespective prisoner. Who is the
- 32:54Speaker 1: character's name? Who is the old guy with the white
- 32:58Speaker 1: hair and the.
- 32:58Speaker 2: Beach, No, his name is blind prisoner barely talks.
- 33:05Speaker 1: The other prisoner who's like Bruce's helper.
- 33:08Speaker 2: Oh that guy.
- 33:09Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's played by Tom Knty. So Tom Kunti
- 33:13Speaker 1: was Albert Einstein and Oppenheimer. Oh, he's also in a
- 33:18Speaker 1: great prison movie called Merry Christmas, Mister Lawrence with David Bowie.
- 33:23Speaker 1: It's awesome. Check it out.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Never heard of it.
- 33:26Speaker 1: You should see. It's great. But uh, this uh anonymous
- 33:31Speaker 1: prisoner is the best character. Miste in my.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Opinion, you're not wrong. And he's very helpful and like
- 33:37Speaker 2: so kind, so wonderful normal. I don't know why he's there.
- 33:43Speaker 1: It's actually scary.
- 33:44Speaker 2: He's Oh, I'm a child rapist. By the way, I
- 33:47Speaker 2: love to eat people. Oh ship, So Bruce keeps he
- 33:52Speaker 2: basically like long story short, Bruce's back is broken through
- 33:56Speaker 2: sheer willpower, he he's trying to get better. He befriends
- 34:01Speaker 2: this guy in prison who used to be the prison doctor.
- 34:03Speaker 2: He starts hanging from a rope from the ceiling. He
- 34:06Speaker 2: slowly fixes his back, he starts to walk again, and
- 34:09Speaker 2: then he's just constantly working out. So through his constantly
- 34:12Speaker 2: working out, he's like, I'm going to be the second
- 34:14Speaker 2: person ever who climbed up this tunnel in the ceiling.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Baine did it when he was a child, I'm gonna
- 34:20Speaker 2: do it again. And he keeps tying a rope to
- 34:23Speaker 2: himself and then trying to escape the tunnel in the ceiling,
- 34:27Speaker 2: and he keeps falling and the rope catches him, but
- 34:30Speaker 2: he does not make it, and he keeps doing it
- 34:32Speaker 2: over and over.
- 34:33Speaker 1: This is why I find this movie frustrating. Why we
- 34:36Speaker 1: don't have enough time to make us want to us
- 34:39Speaker 1: as viewers want to get out of the prison. We
- 34:42Speaker 1: just don't. I just don't. I just don't feel like
- 34:45Speaker 1: they need to escape.
- 34:46Speaker 2: If not there, it doesn't seem that bad.
- 34:50Speaker 1: That's the problem. Like you meet this wonderfully from the guy, Yeah,
- 34:53Speaker 1: who's kind of great. And I'm like, my theory always
- 34:57Speaker 1: has been like I know you can't to this in movies.
- 35:00Speaker 1: You probably can't, and like there's a lot of defendable reasons,
- 35:03Speaker 1: like once we get to the prison, we should probably
- 35:06Speaker 1: stay there because it would make us as viewers want
- 35:08Speaker 1: to get out. Then we get out, we see what
- 35:11Speaker 1: Gothain has become. I just don't get why we cut
- 35:14Speaker 1: back and forth. I just don't get it.
- 35:16Speaker 2: I don't love the Bane score too, that it's like
- 35:19Speaker 2: it's like chanting. It's like.
- 35:25Speaker 1: I think it's I like it because I think the
- 35:27Speaker 1: idea is like it's meant to be signifying of like
- 35:31Speaker 1: this is something different. Again, the whole point of this
- 35:34Speaker 1: movie is to signify you're different. But it's amazing how
- 35:40Speaker 1: it melts into the score from Batman Begins. I'm very
- 35:43Speaker 1: surprised watching this entire trilogy, how much Begins pours into
- 35:48Speaker 1: so much stuff.
- 35:48Speaker 2: But go ahead, I think blind prisoner tells him, he says,
- 35:52Speaker 2: here's the thing. You do. Not fear death to Bruce
- 35:56Speaker 2: and not fearing death to most men's concept of masculinity
- 36:03Speaker 2: is like badass. But he says, fearing death does not
- 36:06Speaker 2: make you strong, it makes you weak.
- 36:08Speaker 1: It makes you know the chances.
- 36:10Speaker 2: And he says, do it as the child did it.
- 36:14Speaker 2: Do it as Bane did it when he escaped as
- 36:15Speaker 2: a child, which was without rope, meaning meaning there is
- 36:20Speaker 2: no room for error. If you fall, you are dead.
- 36:23Speaker 1: You have to risk the failure to succeed.
- 36:26Speaker 2: Yes, And Bruce tries it without a rope and he
- 36:34Speaker 2: falls on his ass and he fucking dies.
- 36:37Speaker 1: The movie ends, well, I would be great, So he
- 36:43Speaker 1: does it without the rope and I love, I Love again.
- 36:47Speaker 1: This is the Ryan Lucius lion from Batmangan Lucius. When
- 36:51Speaker 1: Bruce does it. My question is this, Bruce is wearing
- 36:54Speaker 1: a rope around his entire waist. He falls down, shouldn't
- 36:59Speaker 1: that rebreak his back? In my opinion, yes, but you'd
- 37:03Speaker 1: be terribly injured. Yes, terribly injured. But also they do
- 37:06Speaker 1: a brilliant job of matching with a beautiful callback. But
- 37:11Speaker 1: when he cached, when when he comes down and wonderfully
- 37:15Speaker 1: kind President Einstein catches him or whatever doesn't catch him,
- 37:19Speaker 1: but like is there waiting for him. It's like he's
- 37:21Speaker 1: like you told me a child could do it. It's like, yes,
- 37:24Speaker 1: the child born in here. He's like not a man
- 37:27Speaker 1: from privilege, and I've never forgotten, never mind privilege my
- 37:31Speaker 1: entire life.
- 37:31Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is one of your favorite moments when
- 37:37Speaker 2: he's in all three movies. Killian Murphy as doctor Crane
- 37:42Speaker 2: and the scarecrow appears again, and why don't you explain
- 37:45Speaker 2: this scene with him?
- 37:50Speaker 1: So before we do that, do you mind if we
- 37:51Speaker 1: show I think the most dark moment of this movie.
- 37:55Speaker 1: Go ahead, So they show John Blake justin Gordon Levitt
- 37:59Speaker 1: and or underground in some like place I actually think
- 38:04Speaker 1: a kitchen called back Intended, and special forces in the
- 38:08Speaker 1: military show up and they're like, hey, we've been here.
- 38:11Speaker 1: We're trying to help you guys out.
- 38:13Speaker 2: And it's the guy from Rescue Me that's yeah, yeah.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Like we're trying to like help you guys out. What
- 38:18Speaker 1: do we do? And they explain this truck that's carrying
- 38:24Speaker 1: the new that the fusion reactor around it needs to
- 38:27Speaker 1: be stopped.
- 38:28Speaker 2: If we don't stop it, it's.
- 38:29Speaker 1: Going to be gone in twenty three days, and the
- 38:33Speaker 1: people are like over confident. Fine, while they're over confident,
- 38:37Speaker 1: they walk in to find the Before they go to
- 38:40Speaker 1: the courtroom, they are what do we say, they meet sorry,
- 38:49Speaker 1: they meet Fox after and Fox confirms like, hey, this
- 38:52Speaker 1: truly is twenty three days and we're done. While they're there,
- 38:56Speaker 1: they're shot, like people know who they.
- 38:59Speaker 2: Are, and then Daniel Sunjata, Yes, that's the guy from
- 39:06Speaker 2: Rescue Me who plays this guy.
- 39:07Speaker 1: Yes, and then they're like the entire team is killed,
- 39:16Speaker 1: and I love this Dame moment. It's very cold, but
- 39:20Speaker 1: he's like when the guy is shot, he walks over
- 39:23Speaker 1: to him and the guy's like, I will die before
- 39:26Speaker 1: I talk, and he just goes, uh, I'm on those schedule.
- 39:29Speaker 1: Cabinet just strangles.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Yeah with his you know, he just like knees his throat.
- 39:36Speaker 1: But then he goes hang them so everyone can see,
- 39:39Speaker 1: and they show the news footage of them hanging. You're like,
- 39:42Speaker 1: holy ship.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Like Bruce is motivated, but and.
- 39:48Speaker 1: Then it's worth pointing out. So we go back to
- 39:52Speaker 1: the prison and Bruce is quote unquote practicing. Bruce tries
- 40:00Speaker 1: again and.
- 40:05Speaker 2: We already went over. We may have jumped ahead. Then yeah, no,
- 40:09Speaker 2: we're talking about Crane's trial. Sorry, okay, Scarecrow. So go
- 40:15Speaker 2: to the court for Striver who is burn Gormon, Well,
- 40:19Speaker 2: explain the court, like what are you talking?
- 40:21Speaker 1: So Bain says, we have no control here. You guys
- 40:26Speaker 1: decided control.
- 40:27Speaker 2: Yeah, like we're giving it back to the people.
- 40:29Speaker 1: The people are in charge. And then so they cut
- 40:33Speaker 1: back in this amazing set of like a thousand desks
- 40:37Speaker 1: like on top of each other or whatever.
- 40:40Speaker 2: I love.
- 40:40Speaker 1: It looks so good and they show it once before,
- 40:43Speaker 1: very minimally. But Burne Gorman who is Striver, whose assistant Daggett,
- 40:50Speaker 1: is on trial, and they're like, what are you paying
- 40:53Speaker 1: for your crimes? You hear the hammer and they cut
- 40:54Speaker 1: to Scarecrow paid by Killian Murphy, which is like the
- 40:58Speaker 1: best callback.
- 40:59Speaker 2: At the entire our trilogy.
- 41:01Speaker 1: Yes, because of course, like in this chaos, why wouldn't
- 41:04Speaker 1: he probably why wouldn't this mushroom grow out of us?
- 41:08Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. Yeah.
- 41:10Speaker 1: So he's like, you have to like pay for your crimes.
- 41:13Speaker 1: He's like, I choose exile. You have to walk on
- 41:17Speaker 1: into the ice.
- 41:17Speaker 2: Well, they say you can choose exile or death, and
- 41:19Speaker 2: he chooses exile and they let you out onto the
- 41:23Speaker 2: frozen the frozen water between the mainland and the island
- 41:27Speaker 2: of Gotham.
- 41:27Speaker 1: City, which no one has survived. But the weird thing
- 41:31Speaker 1: about that are saying the scene is the guard is
- 41:33Speaker 1: like the guard tries to help him. He's like, if
- 41:37Speaker 1: you stick to this, you'll be fine.
- 41:38Speaker 2: Like he says, stay on the thick ice. Yeah, basically like, well,
- 41:42Speaker 2: because he didn't choose death, he chose exiles. Yeah. I
- 41:44Speaker 2: don't know, but they're they're holding these kangaroo courts in
- 41:49Speaker 2: the ins drivers saying well, I know Baane, I'm friends
- 41:51Speaker 2: with Baane. And then Crane says, Bane is no jurisdiction here.
- 41:55Speaker 1: Also Baine is in the room. He says nothing, which
- 41:58Speaker 1: is great.
- 42:01Speaker 2: I love this moment. Gordon goes to Matthew Modine's house
- 42:04Speaker 2: because Matthew Modine is his superior. It's it seems like
- 42:12Speaker 2: he's a police commissioner. Gordon's a police commission but anyways,
- 42:16Speaker 2: and Modane's basically like, hey, Jim, we're under martial law,
- 42:20Speaker 2: like Baines goons are running the city. Let's wait till
- 42:22Speaker 2: the government can fix this. And this is just like
- 42:26Speaker 2: obviously symbolism. Gordon's like, we can't wait for the government
- 42:30Speaker 2: to fix something. We have to do it ourselves, which
- 42:33Speaker 2: is a lesson to everyone, right.
- 42:37Speaker 1: I mean actually when Baine first takes over the entire city,
- 42:41Speaker 1: when Gordon is driving around with Blake and he's like
- 42:45Speaker 1: he's like no, no, we're good, and Gordon's like, no, no,
- 42:48Speaker 1: that means we're on our Yeah, like we're trusting the
- 42:51Speaker 1: great people Golf them to help us.
- 42:53Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. So there's a moment where these because it's anarchy,
- 43:02Speaker 2: so these like street thugs are bullying this boy and
- 43:05Speaker 2: catwoman comes over and kicks their asses, and then you
- 43:08Speaker 2: hear pretty generous for a thief, and it cuts to
- 43:13Speaker 2: Bruce Wayne is somehow back. I love that, Like, not
- 43:15Speaker 2: only is he back, he walked out of the desert,
- 43:20Speaker 2: got a flight home, and then made it into the
- 43:23Speaker 2: island where like everyone is cut off. Yeah, they don't
- 43:28Speaker 2: explain that, but whatever, it's fine. And she's like, oh
- 43:32Speaker 2: my god, you're back, sorry about the betrayal stuff, and
- 43:38Speaker 2: he goes, it's cool.
- 43:41Speaker 1: I think we skipped the major point. I'm sorry what
- 43:44Speaker 1: I think we skipped a major point, which is what
- 43:47Speaker 1: when Bruce attempts the failed run at the tunnel. I'm sorry.
- 43:52Speaker 2: We already talked about this at length. At length, we
- 43:56Speaker 2: talked about this, he's escaped the prison he left, We've
- 44:01Speaker 2: moved on. This is why this is going to be
- 44:03Speaker 2: four parts. What was your point about the field attempt.
- 44:08Speaker 1: Though, scorn Harfielert. I love how it calls back to
- 44:15Speaker 1: his dad dropping down.
- 44:17Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know that. I didn't know that.
- 44:19Speaker 1: It's a visual thing. I was just calling out how
- 44:22Speaker 1: bad the visual callbacks were insulting in the beginning of
- 44:25Speaker 1: the movie. That's the one callback I'm like, Oh, I
- 44:28Speaker 1: get why they did this. When Bruce jumps down, I said.
- 44:32Speaker 2: This, I'm sorry, No, you didn't talk about the score.
- 44:35Speaker 2: I did.
- 44:36Speaker 1: I probably did. But whatever. When Bruce swallows and breaks,
- 44:41Speaker 1: he does it twice, breaks his back. They don't care.
- 44:44Speaker 1: He tries it again.
- 44:45Speaker 2: I think he does it one more time.
- 44:48Speaker 1: I think he does it three times.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Myron, they called back to that the first movie, when
- 44:52Speaker 2: it's dad repels down to help him. Yeah, and he
- 44:55Speaker 2: says why did he kiss Bruce? Whoa? And then Bruce says,
- 44:58Speaker 2: because you said it's.
- 44:59Speaker 1: Our because I need this. But I love that's a
- 45:04Speaker 1: good visual callback.
- 45:06Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, I feel.
- 45:08Speaker 1: Like we show stayed in the prison the entire time.
- 45:11Speaker 1: I don't think we should ever left in my opinion.
- 45:14Speaker 2: But so the whole movie should have been in the prison.
- 45:17Speaker 1: No, but I feel like we're good. Sorry.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Back in the island of Gotham, under Baines's siege, Joseph
- 45:28Speaker 2: Gordon Levitt is attacked by the guy from Stargate SG one.
- 45:33Speaker 2: What is his name?
- 45:36Speaker 1: Can everyone stop this real quick?
- 45:38Speaker 2: Go ahead?
- 45:39Speaker 1: Tim made fun of me for knowing Stargate the movie,
- 45:44Speaker 1: and you're calling on an actor from the Stargate TV show.
- 45:47Speaker 2: We also forgot to mention Frederick Lane, the guy from
- 45:52Speaker 2: the opening scene in Men in Black, was in the
- 45:55Speaker 2: Wall Street siege scene where he says, all your money
- 46:00Speaker 2: under your mattress is about to be worth much less.
- 46:03Speaker 2: That's the guy from the opening scene of the Men
- 46:04Speaker 2: in Black was lost. Oh, you're right.
- 46:07Speaker 1: He was the marshall with Kate.
- 46:09Speaker 2: Who is this guy? I'm trying to find him. Robert
- 46:12Speaker 2: Wisdom guy at the bridge. I'm getting close.
- 46:15Speaker 1: If there's anybody here, please say this.
- 46:19Speaker 2: Noel googlammy. I believe it's from.
- 46:24Speaker 1: Training Day, Okay, uh oh, he was one of the
- 46:28Speaker 1: big guys.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Yeah, Josh Stewart, your boys. His character's name is Barsad.
- 46:34Speaker 1: Great actor.
- 46:35Speaker 2: Oh man, what the fuck? Is this guy's name? Love?
- 46:38Speaker 1: I love that you pointed out it's from Starget SG one.
- 46:42Speaker 2: Yeah no, but what is his name? I gotta look
- 46:45Speaker 2: this guy up. So Joseph Gorton Levitt is attacked by
- 46:50Speaker 2: mercenaries that work for a Bane and they're going to
- 46:54Speaker 2: kill him as they would because Joseph Gorton Levitt, essentially
- 46:59Speaker 2: in this like Siege world, is a terrorist and Batman
- 47:06Speaker 2: appears out of.
- 47:07Speaker 1: Well, we should explain that Gordon was sentenced by Scarecrow
- 47:12Speaker 1: to exile by death. Death by exile, I'm sorry, and
- 47:17Speaker 1: that's that's where Batman reappears and liked the signal.
- 47:20Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's true. And come on, man, it's okay,
- 47:27Speaker 2: I'm trying to I'm trying to open that the Stargate
- 47:31Speaker 2: SG one IMDb. Okay, his name is Christopher Judge and
- 47:38Speaker 2: he's more importantly than the start Stargate SG one the
- 47:41Speaker 2: voice of Kratos from God of War. Okay, that's what
- 47:45Speaker 2: he's most famous for. But yeah, any who, then, uh,
- 47:54Speaker 2: there's a bat symbol ignited on the bridge. So you
- 47:59Speaker 2: see this burn bat signal on the bridge, and it
- 48:03Speaker 2: shows Bain seeing it from a distance and he says impossible.
- 48:10Speaker 2: So Batman's talking to Catwoman and he's like, Okay, this
- 48:13Speaker 2: is what I need you to do. Take my bat
- 48:15Speaker 2: motorcycle and blow open the barrier that's blocking the tunnel.
- 48:20Speaker 2: She goes, okay, I'm gonna open the tunnel and then
- 48:22Speaker 2: I'm gone, and she said. He says, I think there's
- 48:25Speaker 2: more to you than that. I think there's more to
- 48:27Speaker 2: you than that. And she says, I'm sorry to keep
- 48:30Speaker 2: letting you down. Come with me. You don't know these people.
- 48:34Speaker 2: You you don't want these people anything. You've given them
- 48:36Speaker 2: everything you have. And he says not everything, not yet,
- 48:42Speaker 2: which means his life, the trailer. Sorry, his life. He's
- 48:47Speaker 2: he's yep, now there's I mean, we might be jumping ahead,
- 48:59Speaker 2: but we probably needed to at this point. Well let's
- 49:03Speaker 2: let's talk about it.
- 49:04Speaker 1: I don't know, we are not mean, we are not
- 49:07Speaker 1: atm ad.
- 49:08Speaker 2: I think that we need to cover his failed attempt
- 49:11Speaker 2: to escape the prison.
- 49:15Speaker 1: You just yelled at me for doing that.
- 49:19Speaker 2: So Matthew Bodein is bad.
- 49:20Speaker 1: Fuck you McDonald's fuck you.
- 49:27Speaker 2: Do. So Matthew Odein is back, and all the cops escape.
- 49:32Speaker 1: Their character is a waste of time. Right fully is
- 49:34Speaker 1: a waste of time was he's a waste of time.
- 49:38Speaker 1: We're sorry, you just said we're two fifty in it's
- 49:41Speaker 1: a waste of time. Well, we don't need him. What
- 49:43Speaker 1: is he representing?
- 49:44Speaker 2: Describe that to me believing in something and.
- 49:47Speaker 1: He believes in nothing, and describe what does he believe in?
- 49:50Speaker 2: Well that's he changes his mind and he so the
- 49:52Speaker 2: police escape their imprisonment and they go to riot in
- 49:56Speaker 2: the streets and I thought, what a bad idea because
- 49:58Speaker 2: they don't know they have handguns. And then it shows
- 50:01Speaker 2: all the bands dudes to have tanks, machine guns.
- 50:05Speaker 1: It's pretty like you're in the front lines.
- 50:07Speaker 2: Over for you. Yeah, it's over for you. And he
- 50:09Speaker 2: Modeen shows up in uniform and he says there's only
- 50:11Speaker 2: one police in this town. And then Batman shows up
- 50:14Speaker 2: and he blows up all the tumblers with his bat plane. Yeah,
- 50:19Speaker 2: and I wrote like here, I'm I'm so happy to
- 50:22Speaker 2: see Batman in the daytime, because they don't do Batman
- 50:25Speaker 2: in the daytime in these.
- 50:26Speaker 1: Movies are very good. It's a great call out. Also
- 50:28Speaker 1: a great winter visual here.
- 50:30Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, well so great point. I'll I'll
- 50:34Speaker 2: say in a second, I'll reference what this what this is,
- 50:37Speaker 2: But no, it's actually my next note. So this is
- 50:42Speaker 2: Gangs of New York.
- 50:43Speaker 1: This scene, well, it's also I think this is very
- 50:46Speaker 1: based on Batman No Man's Land, which I mentioned earlier
- 50:48Speaker 1: about got Let's just say I didn't mention earlier.
- 50:51Speaker 2: I butchered the naming.
- 50:52Speaker 1: But Bob Gail, who wrote Back to the Future, wrote
- 50:55Speaker 1: a comic line, well, Batman No Man's Lam where someone
- 50:58Speaker 1: takes over Gotham.
- 51:00Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is in the middle of the daytime,
- 51:03Speaker 2: in the middle of this town square, it's snowing, and
- 51:06Speaker 2: the cops decide they're gonna have a one on one
- 51:09Speaker 2: combat fight with all Baines goons. And in the midst
- 51:13Speaker 2: of this, Baine is on one side and Batman is
- 51:15Speaker 2: on the other side. And it just reminded me so
- 51:18Speaker 2: much of the opening scene of Gangs in New York.
- 51:20Speaker 2: I mean, it's in essentially New York City, Gotham, it's snowing,
- 51:25Speaker 2: they're in the town square, and there are these two
- 51:27Speaker 2: guys who are dismantling these like average people that are
- 51:31Speaker 2: trying to fight them. Like some beat cop walks up
- 51:34Speaker 2: to Baye and is like punches them in the face
- 51:36Speaker 2: and Baine just like tears them into piece yea. Then
- 51:43Speaker 2: finally they meet each other on the battlefield and they
- 51:45Speaker 2: see each other and Batman just kind of starts to
- 51:50Speaker 2: fuck Bane up.
- 51:51Speaker 1: That's why it is not great. I just don't think
- 51:53Speaker 1: it's great.
- 51:54Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead.
- 51:54Speaker 1: Why because the break in the back scheme is incredibly
- 52:00Speaker 1: This visually looks great. This is a little too like,
- 52:05Speaker 1: I know, I know he's back, but it feels like
- 52:07Speaker 1: Batman's upper hand is a little for me. Eis if
- 52:10Speaker 1: you are a little too strong.
- 52:12Speaker 2: I think that Bain is in disbelief that Batman came
- 52:15Speaker 2: back from this, and also he because Bane never will
- 52:19Speaker 2: find out Ban never escaped from the prison, but he
- 52:21Speaker 2: never thought anybody'd be able to escape. But then also
- 52:24Speaker 2: it's like work smart, not hard. I think that Batman
- 52:26Speaker 2: is fighting way smarter, and he's attacking the mask and
- 52:31Speaker 2: fucking up the little pipe in the mask, so he
- 52:35Speaker 2: knows like, oh yeah, this is not gonna be good.
- 52:38Speaker 2: And so he eventually defeats Bain and he says, tell
- 52:42Speaker 2: me where the trigger.
- 52:43Speaker 5: Is, then you have my permission to die.
- 52:46Speaker 1: Great callback.
- 52:47Speaker 2: Great callback, Bain says, I broke you. How did your
- 52:54Speaker 2: escape Batman says Batman things, he goes you.
- 53:00Speaker 5: You think you're the only one that could ever.
- 53:02Speaker 2: Escape, and Baine says I never did.
- 53:06Speaker 1: Escape, which props to him, makes him makes him very hardcore. Honestly,
- 53:12Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I never got a black gay person. Sorry,
- 53:15Speaker 1: I never got out of the pit.
- 53:16Speaker 2: Sorry, but wait a minute.
- 53:20Speaker 5: The child of Russ oh ghoul to escape.
- 53:24Speaker 2: And then Miranda Tate Boom stabs Batman in the back
- 53:28Speaker 2: and says I'm the child of russo cool, And that
- 53:33Speaker 2: is where I think we should bring it to the
- 53:36Speaker 2: final part. Oh god, I have a lot of notes left.
- 53:39Speaker 2: What part of going now?
- 53:41Speaker 1: Sorry?
- 53:41Speaker 2: This is part three. I think I think this will
- 53:47Speaker 2: be a part four.
- 53:47Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we'll see.
- 53:55Speaker 2: But anyways, we're taking a break.
- 53:57Speaker 1: Thanks everyone, Sorry for dealing with this. This is my fault.
- 54:01Speaker 1: Sorry guys, No, no, no.
- 54:02Speaker 2: But before we go to the next part, I think
- 54:04Speaker 2: we should talk about his escape from the prison. Batman.
- 54:10Speaker 1: Sure, so it looks visually great. It was in the trailer?
- 54:14Speaker 1: Was that good? Sure? All right?
- 54:17Speaker 2: Quick change here. This is originally going to be four parts,
- 54:20Speaker 2: and I think there's no reason to make it four parts,
- 54:23Speaker 2: So I'm actually going to make it three parts because
- 54:26Speaker 2: it doesn't deserve to be as long as the Dark
- 54:28Speaker 2: Knight podcast. It shouldn't have, so I'm making this three parts.
- 54:31Speaker 2: So sorry for the introduction following this moment. Ay right, So,
- 54:37Speaker 2: how do you think the podcast series with the Dark
- 54:39Speaker 2: Knight trilogy is going so far?
- 54:41Speaker 1: I think it's going really good. I think that Batman
- 54:43Speaker 1: Begins when was really positive and fun and also like
- 54:47Speaker 1: a great discovery. The Dark Knight one was really a
- 54:51Speaker 1: confirmational one. This one, I think we're sinking the ship.
- 54:57Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. Let's ask the rest of the crew.
- 55:00Speaker 2: What do you think.
- 55:01Speaker 4: I think you both got way too intoxicated and planned
- 55:06Speaker 4: very fair inappropriately.
- 55:08Speaker 2: This one is way too many parts. That's just one
- 55:12Speaker 2: man's opinion.
- 55:14Speaker 1: Can you tell christ Morolan that, like your plot is
- 55:16Speaker 1: the reason why? Too not? It's it's our fault, but
- 55:19Speaker 1: it's still the plot it that way?
- 55:20Speaker 2: What about you? I'm just really glad I'm not a
- 55:24Speaker 2: part of this movie or discussion at all. All right,
- 55:28Speaker 2: that's kind of hurtful. What about you?
- 55:31Speaker 5: I think he did a great job and this is
- 55:34Speaker 5: very appropriately based and if anything, do you not have
- 55:39Speaker 5: enough parts?
- 55:40Speaker 2: Okay? All right, that's wow.
- 55:43Speaker 1: No one, no one says that.
- 55:45Speaker 2: All right, So tiebreaker right here. I think it's good.
- 55:50Speaker 2: I think of anything.
- 55:52Speaker 5: I think that we should pursue into a little song.
- 55:56Speaker 2: Okay, all righty okay, let's wrap this up. But it's
- 56:42Speaker 2: kind of hard when Christopher Chris Nolan makes this movie
- 56:46Speaker 2: four fucking hours. All right, So Miranda Tate just explained.
- 56:56Speaker 2: She is the famous comic book character Talia. Talia is
- 57:01Speaker 2: the daughter of Rayshaw Ghoul Rogul. She is Liam Neeson's
- 57:06Speaker 2: daughter from the first movie. Oh we forgot to mention
- 57:09Speaker 2: that we did forgot to mention One thing in the
- 57:11Speaker 2: prison for for real is Bruce and his pain and
- 57:15Speaker 2: delusion has a vision of Liam Neeson visiting him.
- 57:18Speaker 1: Yes, happy to see him again. This is very solid.
- 57:21Speaker 2: Why not? Yeah, And basically she says, you got the
- 57:25Speaker 2: story wrong, Liam Neeson. Rachelle Gould was my dad. He
- 57:29Speaker 2: knocked up my mom, my mom. My mom did go
- 57:32Speaker 2: to prison. My mom gave birth to me in the prison.
- 57:36Speaker 2: My mom was murdered in the prison, and then Baine
- 57:39Speaker 2: protected me. And when I finally escaped, everyone in the
- 57:45Speaker 2: prison took down Bain and for like a split second,
- 57:48Speaker 2: they do a flashback where they show Tom Hardy's face.
- 57:51Speaker 2: This is the only time they showed Tom Hardy's face.
- 57:53Speaker 2: He's in the prison and he gets taken down.
- 57:58Speaker 1: Wonderful Lego shoows comes back to like relieve the prison. Yes,
- 58:03Speaker 1: it's too late for Bain. Then the Lego shadows reject him.
- 58:09Speaker 1: Yes to Tom Hardy's credit, Like, I know people hold
- 58:13Speaker 1: this against Bain as a character when she's telling this
- 58:16Speaker 1: story and he just slowly like leaves out like two
- 58:19Speaker 1: tears like this is like think he I think he's
- 58:24Speaker 1: great in this I really I think even this moment
- 58:26Speaker 1: is considered a moment of like emotional like severity. He's
- 58:32Speaker 1: so good in this.
- 58:33Speaker 2: Yes, And there's a guy in this movie who plays
- 58:37Speaker 2: a cop who's in the show Dexter. I'm trying to
- 58:40Speaker 2: remember this guy's name, Desmond Harrington. He plays a cop
- 58:45Speaker 2: in this movie. So Joseph Gordon Levitt is.
- 58:48Speaker 1: Oh this guy, Yeah, I know what you're man.
- 58:52Speaker 2: So Joseph Gordon Levitt gets all the boys from his
- 58:55Speaker 2: orphanage and he gets him on a bus with a
- 58:58Speaker 2: priest who runs the orphanage to try to get them
- 59:00Speaker 2: out of God. Yeah, So he approaches this guy from
- 59:04Speaker 2: Dexter and it's like, we're going to leave, and they
- 59:08Speaker 2: the guy says, you can't. Bains guys said, Bain's goons
- 59:13Speaker 2: said if you try to leave, they're going to detonate
- 59:15Speaker 2: the atomic bomb, so you cannot leave. And Joseph Gordon
- 59:18Speaker 2: Levi is like, we have a bustle of kids. They
- 59:21Speaker 2: need to leave. I am going to walk across this
- 59:24Speaker 2: bridge and he says, if you come any further, we
- 59:28Speaker 2: will blow the bridge.
- 59:31Speaker 1: This guy's pretty desperate, which I love. The is the
- 59:36Speaker 1: greatest over performance of all time.
- 59:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, it's a tough situation. So so Talia,
- 59:44Speaker 2: I'll goole. Meanwhile, says to Bruce, you know what, we
- 59:48Speaker 2: have eleven minutes left before this nuclear bomb goes off,
- 59:50Speaker 2: and I'm just gonna detonate it now because fuck you.
- 59:53Speaker 2: And she goes to press the button and Jim Gordon
- 59:58Speaker 2: had placed this device near the bomb.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Well, she explains the eleven mess after it's like, you
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: guys prevented the detonation no matter what, the bomb is decaying,
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: so it's.
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: Gonna go yes, yeah, and uh it blocks the trigger.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: So she goes, all right, well you blocked the I
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: can't blow up the bomb now because you stopped it somehow,
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: but it doesn't matter because it's gonna blow up in
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: eleven minutes. Matthew Modine dies at this point, he's in there.
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: Yeah you don't care, which is fine. I don't really
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: care that much either. They're gonna shoot out the cops
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: and the criminals and he dies. So Talia says, like,
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: I have to leave Batman. Is Bruce is dying? Ye, Baine,
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: you stay with him and watch him, but do not
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: kill him. I want him to see this the fire.
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: I want to feel the fire of millions of people
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: dying because he failed. And then as soon as she
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: walks out of the room, I respect this, he says.
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: We both know I have to kill.
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: You now, which is really great, a great moment.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: You can imagine the fire and he Vaine is going
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: to kill Bruce. When what happens.
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: We see being get like blown back like twenty five feet.
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: But zo could through the chest basically, and then.
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: We see Catwoman, who's riding the backpod saying, hey man,
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: this whole like no guns thing doesn't really work for me.
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: It was a great moment.
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: Yes, great moment. Yeah, So she had the opportunity to leave.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: Her goal was Bruce said, blow up the barrier under
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: the tunnel and then if you want to go, go,
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: but please come back and help me. And she goes, no,
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: I'm not gonna come back and help me. I'm gonna
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: blow the barrier. Then I'm gonna go, and he's like, Okay,
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: your call. So it turns out she did end up
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: coming back.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: But I also like to show you that they like
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: the levels of the ideals of like I will compromise
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: on this, but not on that.
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: Yeah, catwoman riding on the motorcycle is just completely badass.
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: Looks great, looks great, kills it looks great. So Joseph
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: Gordon Levitt is walking across the bridge. He's like, me
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: and these kids are getting out of here, and then
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: they scream blow the bridge and they blow it up
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: in front of his feet. So there's no escape. Now, Yeah,
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: you see, they're fucked. All is lost, There is no hope.
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: So the priest gets the boys out of the bus
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: and he gets them in a circle on the ground
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: and they start to pray because they know they're going
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: to die because the nuclear bomb is going to go off.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: There's a countdown on the bomb that shows five minutes left,
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: and Joseph Gordon Levitt says, let's get them back on
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: the bus. And the priest he's just trying it desperately
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: to do something. He is dying. And the priest goes stop, stop,
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: there's nothing to do, there's nowhere to go. This is
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: an atomic bomb, and he says, let these kids feel
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: some hope before they die. So, even though it's in vain,
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: I want them to die on a hole full positive
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: note hope, which is so fucked.
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: Up, fucked up. But what's the famous line from Lost
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: Hope is a dangerous thing to lose.
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: There's something deep inside that they can't get to, that
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: they can't touch. That's in shaw Shak redemption. What are
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: you talking about, hope?
- 1:03:16Speaker 5: Uh?
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: The tanks shoot? He'd see he missiles at Bruce in
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: the batplane. I love that he loops the plane around
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: so the missiles then shoot the tanks.
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: I thought that was great. Also amazing too the batplane
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: or the bat was like shot practically or like was
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: that a crane?
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: Really? Oh?
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: What looks incredible? It's not cgi they just putting on
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: a crane and just swung up.
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: Who was I hope there was like a mannequin in there.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: There definitely was no one there in my opinion.
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: But Okay, wow, wow, that's that's amazing. And I love
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: how studios will give them monday to do that. Where
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: how many years from now is there gonna be AI
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: is so good that they would just never ever.
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: Do that zero. But the whole thing is you can
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: tell like I feel like you can truly tell it.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: It's like, like, I love did you know that bat?
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: I think this is so cool? Like I watched an
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: interview with like at the time, with Christopher Nolan. He
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: was talking about making the Dark Knight Rises and they
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: were like designing the bat and he was like, there
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: are the aliens, like the I think it's called the
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: APV the suit, So it's the armor personnel vehicle, which
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: is like the little vans that like the military showed
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: up on the colonies.
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: I wanted to make that fly my entire life. And
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: I thought, oh, I can do this here, and I
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: was like, Win, that's how we do it. Fucking Win.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: That's not the first reference to alien in this trilogy.
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: I mean also, I mean so many so there get
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: like so Miranda's driving Miranda Ta Taliall gol Uh's driving.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: She's driving the truck with the bomb.
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: In Marion Cultillard is driving the truck with a bomb
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: in it. Batman shoots out this highway. She falls forward
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: and she crashes and breaks her neck. But Gordon, who
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: is loose in the back of the truck, he's in
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: the truck.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: It's totally fine, like you always say, suspended, just bleached
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: a certain point, but it's hard to walk around.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: And then her so specifically talk about her death. Her
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: death is a meme because people fucking hate it and
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: they think it's the worst death like ever in movies.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: She croaks mid sentence.
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: I think it's I honestly, because it's a meme and
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: it's so hyped up as bad and I had it
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: in my head. I watched it today. It's not that bad.
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: It's it's pretty terrible.
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: It's it's like it's not ten out of ten bad,
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: it's like a seven. I mean like terrible.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: It is like of course, like you're watching like like
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: like a B movie whatever, but like or whatever, I
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: should say, it's insulting me B movies.
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: But like the fact that it's it's it's the death
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: the convenience.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: Death is the insult. Yeah, she lands and crushes Gordon,
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: is that he said, walks off like, oh man, there's
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: so much smoke in my jacket.
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: Meanwhile she's folded in half and being like, oh well,
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: she's a quadriplegic from the neck down broken, Yeah, dying,
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: And Gordon has like a cut in his forehead and
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: he was loose in the truck in the back.
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: And she's like, no matter what you guys do, even
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: including the flood, which is like flooding the reactor, you're done.
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: Like this just doesn't.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: There's no way to have.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: To just get rid of the bomb. But the fact
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: that she also just like it's it's again.
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: I was not I'm not saying she's finished, guys.
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: It sounds mean she's an incredible actor. Please see Rust
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: and Bone. She's fucking amazing in it. Incredible actor. It's
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: not her fault.
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: I think that like Batman with the absence of Hope
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: is bane, Like like we're talking about the joke or
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: what the the ocre is more incorruptible than Batman is.
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: I think Batman without Hope is bane. And that's what
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: Bain Bain looked at the ceiling in the sky and
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: had no hope in that prison. I'm never gonna be
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: able to climb out of this tunnel. Batman was in
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: the same prison, saw the same hole and knew I will.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: So I think that hope, even if delusional, like in
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: the scene with Joseph Gordon Lovett here telling the kids
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: to brace for impacts, it's extremely powerful and meaningful, and
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: without hope, you're just you blinked. You looked at the
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: abyss and it looked back at you, and you have
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: no hope, and you blinked. So they're planning on what
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: to do. They have the bomb here, and somebody says,
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: we'll just take take your plane and put it on
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: an autopilot and fly it up in the sky and
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: have the bomb blow up the plane. And Bruce reminds everybody,
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: which they've been talking about this whole movie, the plane
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: is no autopilot. Morgan Freeman could not figure out the
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: autopilot on the plane, so she so he he knows
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: what he's gonna do, and they all know what he's
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: gonna do, like you know, Alfred's not there, but like Lucius, Catwoman, Batman,
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: they all know what he's gonna do. She says to him,
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: you could have gone anywhere and done anything that you
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: came back here. And then Bruce said, Bruce says, so
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: did you. And then she says, I guess we're both suckers.
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: Then and they make out.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: I wish they love that. I wish they gave this
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: more time though, this relationship. That was the one of
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: the fatal flaws in this movie is that.
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: I thought they gave it as much time as it
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: was realistically, could have.
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: Just turn it up amazing.
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's a nitpick. They're great, but this
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: movie is nine hours long.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: So that's a part of the problem too, is they're
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: wasting your time with other stuff.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: But so she makes it, I guess we're both suckers.
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: Then they make out. I love love love that them
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: making out incredible. So he gets in the batplane to
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: fly away, and they all know he's going to kill himself.
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: He's gonna sacrifice himself for the city. Gordon says, I
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: never cared who you were, but shouldn't. All the people
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: have Gotham know the hero that save them, and he says.
- 1:09:13Speaker 5: A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something
- 1:09:17Speaker 5: is simple, is reassuring and putting a coat on a
- 1:09:21Speaker 5: young boy's shoulders to let him know the world hadn't ended.
- 1:09:26Speaker 5: I'm Ruce Wayne, I'm a Rachel's friend.
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: I love Rachel.
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: This is the biggest crown of this entire movie.
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: And then Jim Gordon goes like she sort of made
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: me think of it's uh, do you know what in
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: fucking macgoober when mcgoober is just so delusional and so
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: full of himself when he's uh, powers Booth gets a
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: call and he goes it's the president and then his
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: reaction he goes like ah, and he's like so jazzed,
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: like that's Gordon's like, oh my god, it's Bruce.
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: But the biggest crimes movie is that moment is explained.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: We talked about aboutmigans what a wonderfully human moment, Like like.
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: Gordon, because they cut back to it.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: You mean, That's what I'm saying, Like, we don't need
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: to know this, and.
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: In fact, we don't need to show the little kid.
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: We don't need to show that scene. And like also
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: we don't need to hear Gordon say wait a minute,
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: Bruce fucking.
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: Wayne, Yeah, yeah, ohly shit.
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: I should have been like it should have been like,
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: because both guys are phenomenal actors, like bail and old
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: Man were Like when Baille says that, like I remember
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: like being feater, like seeing that, like, holy shit, what
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: a callback to this wonderfully kid moment. I just would
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: have wished if I just like Gordon just again like
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: said nothing and took it in and been like we're fine,
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: because we all, we as viewers, know what that means.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: We know the impact of that moment. I hate the
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: being like, oh, did you guys get it? Are you
- 1:11:09Speaker 1: sure you got it? Here we go. I fucking hate
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: that shit because these these past two movies never crutched
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: you with anything that's curious.
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: It is insulting, and it is a pet peeve of
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: mine and I do I do not like.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: But still the moment is solid reason.
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: I'm not going to argue with you on that. I
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: don't like spelling it out for the audience because the
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: audience is stupid. And yes, the audience is stupid, but
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: catering to the stupid audience makes you a worst storytelling.
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: Why is Gordon there? He already bought in you know that?
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: Why so like what it strives me? Insane? I'm sorry,
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: strives me insane.
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: No, that's fine, And back to the school bus with
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: Joseph Cordin Levitt. There's an explosion he sees in the
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: city and he yells, get your heads down. This is it,
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: which is this is all so fucked up? Like this scene,
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: the scenes with him with the children in the school bus,
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: knowing they're all going to die. It's really dark and
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: like really emotionally affects me in a way that the
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: other parts of these movies don't. He goes, yeah, this
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: is it, get your heads down, and then one of
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: the kids says no, it's Batman and he looks up
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: and Bruce is in the batplane with the bomb until
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: blowing things up to get out of the way, to
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: get out of the city. So he's like, oh my god.
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: And then you just see Bruce fly off into the
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: distance above the ocean, and they cut to the inside
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: of the plane where you know he's about to die
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: and his face he's in the batsuit, and it cuts
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: to his face and he just looks very at peace.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: It's actually a really great moment.
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really really great. He doesn't look sad or angry.
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: Like we don't end characters because we can't do anymore.
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: But I love it.
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, let's not start about Captain America. I kind
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: of hope Avengers Dooms toay? Is that what it's called? Is?
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: I kind of hope it's a ship show because I
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: think that it really could be. And like Captain America
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: coming back and I'm Robert Tanner Junior. You're playing doctor Doom,
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: Like what are we doing?
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: You? You had what tangent? You had two wonderful character endings. Ever,
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: like the Captain America was Chef's kids soul crushing to
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: watch kiss but like positive but like it's just facillit'sy.
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, this is the cost, great, go ahead, Sorry.
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: It's not to me. It's not like to me, Iron
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: Man is more that soul crushing, this is the cost.
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: Captain America is like good, good for him. That's the
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: ending for the Captain America to me, Like he deserves
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: this and I'm glad he's happy he.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: But like Tony lived, Wow, Tony lived so much life
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: and was like partying whatever like that. It's just like
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: how things went.
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: Cap had to like live ten lives and then come like.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: I had to sacrifice and then sacrifice again four more times,
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: and then he dies happy, but also but then again
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: the ideas like I have to know that I live
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: four lives. That's the whole to me.
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: Well anyways, and then he so Bruce is at peace
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: and he's flying out on the ocean with the nuclear bomb,
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: and then the bomb detonates and Bruce dies. Batman dies.
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: He blows up with a nuclear bomb.
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: What do you think of this is visual? What do
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: you think about how it looks? What do you think?
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: I thought that the nuclear bomb, mushroom cloud and reaction
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: was way too small.
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: I get why they gave it distance.
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: It's no Oppenheimer kind of funny that this is pre Oppenheimer.
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: Oppenheimer's is fine too, But I was just curious, like it,
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: like that has to be like visual effects. But I
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: like that moment. So when the explosion happens, we zoom
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: out in a great shot of the explosion after and
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: we hear Jim Gordon reading a passage from mattild two Cities.
- 1:15:13Speaker 2: Yes, and Joseph Gordon Levitt throws his police badge into
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: the ocean. By the way, didn't he already who was
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: gonna way weird?
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: Didn't he already quit. So we hear him say, I
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: see a beautiful city, and they're bringing in people rising
- 1:15:29Speaker 1: from the abyss. From this abyss, I see the lives
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: from which I laid down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous,
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: and happy. I see that I hold sanctuary in their
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: hearts and in the hearts their percentence generations. Hence, is
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: it a far far better thing that I do, never redone?
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: Is it a far far better rest that I go to,
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: never renown? I just want to say this, I'm gonna
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: include to my advice in vice while advice we've we've
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: just stopped doing this show.
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: I agree.
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: Forever, not just episode Christopher, Christopher Nolan, I know where
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: you're at. This line was also included in Star Trek
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: to the Wrath of Khan. And this is fucking infuriating
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: that you put in this in the movie. It's it
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: drove me inside.
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: Sorry, we have a caller on the line. Hello, Yeah,
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: this is Joe, and I just want to say, Ryan,
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: you read my fucking mind, right.
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: Joe, I'll see outside. But no, I'm kidding. This is
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: all this. This line is legitially used to the end
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: of Wrath of Khan. Beautifully. It's the best thing William
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: Shatner has ever done his entire life, but also works
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: here really well.
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: They barry Bruce on the property of the Wayna State,
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: next to his parents, and Alfred is legitimately sobbing in
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: it like seeing Michael's face makes me in like I
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: feel pained his face. So he goes, I failed you.
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: You trusted me, and I failed you. He says that
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: to Bruce. Gordon says to uh Blake Joseph Warton Levit,
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: who's at the funeral, can I convince you to come
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: back to the forest, and he says, no way. And
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: then he says to Gordon, no one will ever know
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: who saved the entire city, and Gordon says, yes, they
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: will know. It's Batman.
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: What do you think of the statue.
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: They reveal a Batman statue. I think it's great. It
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: doesn't look like Christian Bale because nobody knows what he
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: looks like.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: Oother the visual was pretty bad.
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: But okay, yeah, I feel like I feel like there's
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: a lot of nitpicks for this film, where in other
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: movies you're pretty goddamn forgiving.
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: I love this movie.
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: It's insane, Okay, So they they they mentioned because Bruce
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: had no money when he died. As we talked about
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: it already, the estate will be auction off to settle
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: its debts. Anything remaining after the settlement of their debts
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: will go to Alfred Pennyworth. The house, the way Manor
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: estate and its grounds will be left to the to
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: Gotham City as the Thomas and Martha Wayne Center for
- 1:18:14Speaker 2: Orphaned Children. He names it after his parents and not himself.
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: Just makes fucking great and anything else like you know
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: there people will handle. So Blake basically gets like a
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: note that he was left something and Bruce Wayne's coordinates, Yeah, cordonate, Well,
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: he was left something in the will and he goes
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: to pick it up and he says, hey, my name
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: is John Blake, and the woman says, we don't have
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: anything under that name. He goes, oh, it's not my
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: legal name. Here's my driver's license, and she looks at
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: the driver's license and goes, oh, I like that. You
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: should use your legal name, Robin, and then he just
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: goes like okay, thank you and leaves. Now a lot
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: of people hated this. I thought this was great, no problem.
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan is ending his take on this character. Yes,
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: I'm I'm telling you, hey, there's a future here.
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, why not? Sure? But there's not gonna be
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: another movie. Can't we can't name him? Dick Rayson? Yeah,
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Like I thought this was fine. I liked it.
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: It was a cute little nod and I loved it
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: at all. And then Fox says to his scientists. He
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: has his scientist working on a new batplane, and he goes,
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: I need you to figure out what I could have
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: done to fix the autopilot and the scientists say the
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: autopilot was fixed six months ago, and Fox, confused, says,
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: whose log is on the signature of that? And they
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: say Bruce Wayne. And then it cuts to Alfred on
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: his Florence vacation. Let's let's fucking go. Music is fucking roaring, roaring,
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: The score is roaring.
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: Robin gets coordinates, Alfred goes to Florence. Robin is splunking
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: in a cave. Alfred is sitting and drinking his coffee
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: and he all of a sudden, he barely sorry for Bronca.
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: He barely reacts. Michael Caine barely reacts. He just he's
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: sipping his for net and he looks up and he pauses,
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: and then he doesn't even he barely even smiles, and
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: he just nods like hello. And then it cuts to
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: a table across the way and it's fucking Bruce Wayne
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: sitting with Catwoman.
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: Looking even from behind, looking great. My entire crowd fucking
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: erupted when it happened, Like they were like, we don't
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: give a ship how accurate this is. They are erupted.
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: It's a blast.
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: It's so fun, really curious as to what they did
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: for money.
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: My last note is is she supporting him now?
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: Seriously? But you know, and also like I know we
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: shouldn't think this way because it's a chef's kiss, perfect
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: ending in my opinion, but like you know, their relationship
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: is not unicorns and rainbows from here on out, because
- 1:21:26Speaker 2: no relationship is so like what are their fights about?
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: What are they doing in Italy? I see you on Friday? No?
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: I just love because like here's what what? What? What
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: has happened with this entire series is that movies changed
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: right like where it's like we're talking about with like
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: with The Dark Knight.
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: Like this is a Shawshank redemption level, perfect ending.
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: Perfect happy ending, I watched this on YouTube.
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: As far as happy endings go, I think I.
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: Genuine I'm not kidding. I've been cradle because I love
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: this movie so much. Like I just see it so much.
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: I can see a lot of like irks myself. I
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: find this ending just like even when Bail just blinks alphared. Now,
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: it's like I can't fucking handle this. I just can't
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: see this. It's so good.
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: It's gotta be so hard though, where like it's your
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: dad essentially, and you know, like I can never talk
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: to my dad again.
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: But you this person understands it's best for both of you.
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm overthinking it. Just enjoy the moment. Just enjoy
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: the moment. It don't be a negative Nancy. However, you
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: know people complained about him trying to give up being Batman.
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: First of all, he physically couldn't continue to be Batman.
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: In the Nolan universe correct.
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: Second of all, in the comic book, Bruce never wants
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: happiness or peace. That's not something he ever wants because
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: of his parents. But don't you think it's kind of
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: nice that this version of the story gave him happiness
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: and peace? Doesn't he deserve it? This man that sacrificed everything.
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: As you always say, I'm an overly positive idiot. I
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: loved this movie. Was like one of the superheroes because like,
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: you know what, he'll be Okay, fine, they're not like, hey,
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: I'm eternally cursed. But you said earlier in the podcast
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: on part one of twenty eight, this is the only
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: character where it's like I get when people are like
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: he should continue to where he's miserable, like the athletic version,
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: He's like, that's what they are. His resistance and eternal
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: strength against everything is what they are. So I get
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: this argument, but I have no problem with again, like
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: this person's take was like, you know what, just let's
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: let's show you one time. Like the Daredevil book, Oh
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: my god, End of Days fucking incredible the end because
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: Darribl is kind of Batman with less resources, and End
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: of Days is a great fucking book about how like
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: how do you end? There?
- 1:24:10Speaker 2: Like how does this end? Not well?
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: Not well? But also you you can end, but the
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: spirit of you keeps going. What does the spirit mean?
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: What did you? What? What do your results matter? And
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: it's fascinatingly great. It's like I I love this and
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: also again like you said, like the Shawshank moment, like
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: who like dude, that Shawshank.
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: Ending is like does they want to NaIO?
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: I hope the Pacific is blues in My Dreams is
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: a fucking incredible line. And this movie has a similar
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: vibe of just like let's just let's just fucking go,
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: like how we just give it we want?
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: And then after this moment, it shows Robin Sponky in
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: a cave Joseph Rdon, Levitt Blake and you up and
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: you see the foundation for Wayne Manner, so you realize
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: he's in the bat Cave and he's standing on a
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: platform and it's like waterfall in the cave. And then
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: the platform rises up, so you know it's like something
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: Bruce had built in there to access the bat cave.
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: So the platform rises up with Robin on it looking
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: towards the bat Cave, and then the movie ends and
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: it says the dark Knight rises.
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: I love how the rises up like cuts the camera off.
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: Yes, wonderful. So the indication is that Robin will continue
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: being Batman, which is in some form, in some form,
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: which is like hard to do because he's not trained
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: by the League of Shadows. He's just like a beat cop.
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: So even if he trains like an mma gym, which
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: he doesn't in the movie, that would be like kind
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: of a lot of an ask, even with a batsuit on.
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: But again, doesn't matter.
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: The whole idea was like I'm leaving some hope for
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: someone because I can't continue.
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: Yes, but and the whole thing is like Batman is hope,
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: Batman is an idea, Batman is not a guy, agreed,
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: And then you just hear the dirty boogie and that's
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: that's the end of the Dark Knight Trilogyay, Yeah, that's
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: mercifully where we will end. Ryan, do you have any
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: closing thoughts or advice for the Dark Knight trilogy.
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: This is a blast. It was so great to see
- 1:26:39Speaker 1: this again.
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: Again.
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: The Dark Knight especially is very ever present. But and again,
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: I've seen The Dark Knight Rises forty thousand times. I
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: think it's a wonderful movie too.
- 1:26:49Speaker 3: You'll been criticizing it for five hours. This is so
- 1:26:56Speaker 3: great to rep Like watching Batman begins a I was
- 1:27:00Speaker 3: kind of like I always loved it, but I was like, man,
- 1:27:03Speaker 3: this thing fucking role it's so good. So my advice
- 1:27:09Speaker 3: is what that movie did was respect what they do,
- 1:27:14Speaker 3: but do your own thing.
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: As what we can do. That's all we can do. Also,
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: if your kids don't like falafel, it's their own fault.
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: I like that Nolan didn't do like test screenings or
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: like you know, there was obviously notes, but this is
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: not like a man. This is sort of like a
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: Seinfeld situation where they said, Christopher Nolan, you're really smart,
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: do whatever you want, versus like design by committee. Yes,
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: test screenings, that's always bad, always bad. My advice would be,
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: this is the greatest trilogy of all time. Text me
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: if I'm wrong, tell me what is better than this.
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: I really think this was better than I remember. Not
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: The Dark Knight, because like that's impossible, but the trilogy
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: is a trilogy I think was better than I remember.
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: This is just a version of Batman that Christopher Nolan
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: wanted to tell. It's not the definitive Batman, but it's
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: it's amazing And I think that, like I said, Superman's
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: power is being a good person even though he's a god.
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: I think Batman's power is even with all the suffering
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: he personally is endured and all the suffering he's seen
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: in the world, everything he's seen from criminals, rapists, murderers,
- 1:28:42Speaker 2: he does not allow that to change his hope for
- 1:28:48Speaker 2: humanity and the ability to see like there is good
- 1:28:54Speaker 2: in some people that is worth saving, and that's what
- 1:28:59Speaker 2: I'm willing to sacrifice for. I think that that's incredibly,
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: incredibly difficult to do, and that's why he's basically in
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: comic books. He's the most mentally strong person in all
- 1:29:15Speaker 2: of comics, like he's pretty much universally portrayed that way.
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: But on that note, we will end here. Thank you
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: for listening. What a hell of a ride.
- 1:29:29Speaker 1: Thanks everyone, Another blockbuster season.
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: Another blockbuster season.
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: See you all at see you all in Greece for.
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: For what you No, I didn't for the odisty oh okay,
- 1:29:57Speaker 2: well I would out close this statement. There is a
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: difference between you and me. We both stared into the abyss.
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: When it looked back at us, you jump, drived, and
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: whil
