  I mean the Gold, I mean the Gold Julium. Here first Schwartzy t
• 0:33
  Rex, then motorcycle Schwartzy. Hello everybody, and welcome to Thirsty for More,
• 0:42
  Planet Bruce, of course, Planet Bruce. I'm Alex and I'm Malenko.
• 0:50
  Nice to meet you. And today we've got nineteen ninety five die Hard
• 0:56
  with a Revenge. Dude, we've been talking about doing die Hard with John
• 1:00
  mctiernan's die Hard with the Revenge. Yeah, the best one, the best
• 1:07
  one, I would say. Samuel Ell like, it's it's the kind of
• 1:11
  two hour and ten minute movie that you're like, it's a little log,
• 1:15
  but it feels like it deserves two hours ten minutes. It burns two hours
• 1:19
  and ten minutes. And one of the things I was really upset about when
• 1:23
  we talked about pulp Fiction a couple episodes ago was that we didn't rate that
• 1:27
  that movie out of Samuel El's. And I think that's because, like it's
• 1:30
  almost like pulp fiction. A movie like pulp fiction is a movie that's like
• 1:34
  almost greater than the sum of its parts. It's hard to like break down
• 1:40
  in elements like that. Like, of course you can look at the individual
• 1:42
  performances and that's what makes it great. But it's almost like, you know,
• 1:46
  it's not about them, it's about pulp fiction. It's about yeah,
• 1:49
  and it's about not just directing, but like his voice and vision. Everybody
• 1:55
  else speaking of Samuel L. Jackson speaking about race in this movie super interesting,
• 2:00
  and we'll get to that, but I want to just say, well,
• 2:01
  if you got it on tape, Samuel L. Jackson is so good
• 2:07
  and he was so he was so good in pulp fiction. Dude, Yeah,
• 2:10
  he's better in this than he has an involve fiction. I mean,
• 2:14
  I agree, I agree. Just having somebody be just a whole person that's
• 2:23
  not hyper stylized. He's just he totally sells being a regular dude in the
• 2:29
  same exact way that Bruce Willis does. I really that's something I really appreciate
• 2:34
  it. Like the every madness of Samuel el in this of both of them,
• 2:38
  that's what they're connecting on, right, because like this, Okay,
• 2:42
  this movie can on one hand be taken as total coppaganda of like you know,
• 2:46
  like both sides coming together sort of thing, but I weirdly think it
• 2:52
  really works kind of well in this movie. It makes it magical almost because
• 2:57
  like there's a kind of like Bruce's Friends with Black People idealism of the first
• 3:01
  two movies, I would say, And then they mentioned Rodney King in this
• 3:06
  one. Yeah, and like this movie has connections to La. You know,
• 3:09
  it's got la Lord. Do I know you dude from that Nakatomy thing?
• 3:13
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. I mean, don't I
• 3:15
  know you from that Nakatomy thing? Yeah, that's how we know each other.
• 3:19
  Yeah. But but like in this movie, you know, there's a
• 3:23
  kind of commentary on that, and I think that was like a really interesting
• 3:25
  and smart move, like to make cops not perfect and not the good guy,
• 3:32
  but also while maintaining that they're the good guy in a way. You
• 3:36
  know, yeah, absolutely, like maintaining the illusion of like movie cops,
• 3:40
  you know what I mean from Yeah, I mean, like the thing is
• 3:46
  the good thing about this one is the sort of mention of the first nine
• 3:53
  to eleven at the what's it called the first Harris attack at the World Trade
• 3:58
  Center. Yeah. The interesting thing about cops and anytime post nine eleven and
• 4:05
  pre nine eleven is that like a major event will bring all people together,
• 4:11
  right, and like that's kind of what I picture mostly this as rather than
• 4:16
  like, oh, cops are just good right, because they're not really right.
• 4:21
  It takes it takes what's like terrorist level events for these people to become
• 4:27
  heroes. No, no, no, well yeah, because it's very bad.
• 4:30
  Yeah, it is very big. Yeah, but but but what I'm
• 4:32
  saying, when Ready was there, it was never never. But but it
• 4:40
  still takes John McLane to figure it out. Right, It's still the lone
• 4:47
  person, which is hilarious because of the two of them together, they use
• 4:50
  their skills, magical skills together though like they're kind of like stupidly, like
• 4:58
  like when when one of that doesn't know a thing at the other, it
• 5:02
  was so good, it was so well, sorry, sorry, Okay,
• 5:05
  we'll get We'll get to that. Man. There's also so many Dannymall rooms
• 5:09
  in this movie. I don't know, Rarely do I ever get excited to
• 5:14
  do many things in this life, many things on this podcast, And like
• 5:18
  the thing is, like, rarely do I feel this much of a responsibility
• 5:24
  towards This is the most pantheon, Bruce. This is the one for us,
• 5:28
  for us, dude, the most pantheon Bruce, and using us to
• 5:32
  make that movie, I think so. I think it's a close second to
• 5:38
  to need to Go, but which we'll get to, dude in the next
• 5:43
  episode, because we need to go to plant. Bruce. Yeah, of
• 5:46
  course I think. What's Yeah, Like, it's hard to say because it's
• 5:49
  like to me, it's like, would it be fifth Element? But it's
• 5:55
  not like this is Pantheon Bruce, because it's a Bruce Willis movie, and
• 5:59
  it's because Bruce and and too, he was the same extent Samuel Jackson.
• 6:04
  It's Pantheon Samuel Jackson. It's to Oh my god, dude, totally because
• 6:10
  this takes this takes something fun, fun, really fun fun, like a
• 6:15
  movie like die Hard, and makes it better. Like it's like you want
• 6:20
  die Hard, but you're getting the kids die Hard. You don't know,
• 6:24
  dude, this is this. This is a just generally a better movie,
• 6:29
  I would say, because it has the most payoff of everything because we I
• 6:34
  want to see I wanted to see because all the stuff you get from Bruce
• 6:39
  Willis in die Hard one is there. And also it's like there's no other
• 6:44
  movie too, but he's got he like everything that he that we weren't sure
• 6:47
  that he was in up up until I wouldn't even say this point, like
• 6:53
  he's been Bruce for a minute now. But everything that we weren't sure of
• 6:58
  when we watch the first movie, when we watched the first die Hard,
• 7:00
  it all pays off completely in this movie because it's like, it's Bruce,
• 7:04
  this is Bruce becoming, this is Bruce arriving. This is the John McClain
• 7:10
  that we never really saw mc yeah, we only got hinted at. Yeah,
• 7:17
  because he's got a bad fucking headache. Yeah he does. And like
• 7:21
  I said, a lot of Dannie Moore runs. I mean, one of
• 7:25
  the most amazing Daniel runs is Dean Norris in this movie. Dude, oh
• 7:29
  man, such an amazing Daniel Rude. And also another Dannie old rood is
• 7:32
  Gibbons. You can't leave the desk like Gibbons. What's his name? I'm
• 7:38
  pretty sure there's that guy who's got the mustache. He's like the guy who
• 7:44
  tells them that's Dean Norris. That's Dean Norris. That's if you look it
• 7:49
  up, that's Dean Norris. Man, I thought it was I thought it
• 7:54
  was what's his name? Did you think Dean Norris was in this movie?
• 8:01
  I thought it was a different guy. This is the guy with the mustache
• 8:07
  and the kind of curly Yeah. Yeah, because I thought that was what's
• 8:11
  his name from the wire? No it's not. It's not fucking what's his
• 8:18
  name? I know who you're talking about, the police chief. Yeah,
• 8:22
  yeah, the guy that's hinted at as gay, but not what's what's Yeah,
• 8:28
  that's it. That's crazy, crazy because he looked so familiar. But
• 8:33
  yeah, the first the start of the movie starts with an explosion. Yeah,
• 8:37
  normal, normal things going on, normal town New York, New York,
• 8:43
  which is so cool. And they set up in the same way as
• 8:46
  in New York and like the fact, like they used like the population density
• 8:50
  of New York, man, all of the plastic, the liquid plastic of
• 8:56
  course, the liquids, the nineties may villain, ninety scientists. Man,
• 9:03
  dude, like too, like this this ship is fucking awesome too, Like
• 9:07
  the first explosion where it's like, yeah, like nobody can and nobody can
• 9:13
  film it now anyway because it would just be Toronto, the permits, it
• 9:18
  would be Toronto and it would look as good. Yeah, man, just
• 9:22
  like New York. Can you imagine the logistics of fucking filming in New even
• 9:26
  even then? Like, no, it was never years. He was never
• 9:31
  one of those Graham Green, dude. I was so excited to see Canadian
• 9:39
  screen legend Graham Green. Yeah, great, amazing. He's such a Bruce
• 9:43
  Willis actor. He's such a Bruce Willist actor. And he's so good at
• 9:48
  this. He's so good at those. And everybody gets a hero moment in
• 9:52
  this and it's awesome. It is awesome, Like they're they're not people.
• 9:56
  A lot of the time that they were like working through red tape in hating
• 10:01
  each other in the previous movies, and this movie they really so together.
• 10:05
  Yeah, it's so not that it's so not that it's awesome. I like
• 10:09
  that element me too. And I loved Cobb. I loved Cobb, the
• 10:13
  chief with the mustache. He was he was so so good his like conviction.
• 10:20
  YEA. One of the biggest, the biggest acting notes that was always
• 10:24
  given to police chiefs of the nineties was they had to be super flustered.
• 10:28
  Yeah, to be like really like, yeah, totally, I don't know
• 10:33
  what I'm gonna do with this, Yeah totally. But yeah, the explosion
• 10:37
  happens and then and then bad fucking headaches. Yeah for sure. Cobb gets
• 10:43
  a phone call from Simon says, oh, man for all. Oh,
• 10:52
  his name is Jerry Irons, Sexy Jerry Irons, a robot calling in and
• 11:01
  being like Simon, listen later on, I'm going to play mister Flugauga.
• 11:09
  God. When he played, mister Flauga laughed, so I was like,
• 11:15
  I'm so excited, mister Fluga, mister Fluga, mister mister found his newgas
• 11:20
  here, find his newgass here, find his newgass here. It was literally
• 11:24
  mister Fluga when I was just like fluga, mom, dude. But but
• 11:31
  also you know who he reminded? What's his name? So mister Crabtree and
• 11:37
  and Cob go to pick up Bruce Willis because mister flags like you have to
• 11:45
  get I am looking for Jo. It's John McClean there, and obviously he's
• 11:52
  been suspended for some drunken disorderly behavior, some abusive alcoholic husband. But anybuddy
• 11:58
  that all of these like British guys play, these jerd guys always say I
• 12:01
  would like to speak to John mcclin. Yeah, John mcclin, it's always
• 12:05
  so. But what's what's mister mcclin. Don't let her leave, mister mcclin,
• 12:18
  what's wrong? Don't let her leave had the same kind of balding as
• 12:24
  other Bruce wigs. Dude Bruce fully showing I don't know if the back is
• 12:30
  this is wig, this is so wig, this is nineteen ninety five,
• 12:35
  is already whispy hair. But but what's nice about this wig is that they've
• 12:41
  they've they've balded him with this wig. Is it a wig, it's a
• 12:46
  wig. It's a wig. It away, they've balded him, they have,
• 12:50
  but they've appropriately bulded Jude and also wanted to say, we get this
• 12:52
  is our first hint of hangdog Bruce face. Oh, yeah, totally,
• 12:58
  because he's gonna eventually there'll be a lot of hangdog. But I think this
• 13:01
  is the first time we see hangdogs. And and also the drinking the coffee
• 13:07
  with the aspirin and he's like, come Mark, Mark, he's just putting
• 13:09
  the pills in his mirth. Yeah, And it's but also the amazing part
• 13:15
  of both less so with Graham Green's performance, but but still really hilarious,
• 13:22
  but with with Arthur Cobb, the quiet disappointment and sadness that he has for
• 13:28
  John McClain to eaven this moment where he's just he's sad for him, but
• 13:33
  also disappointed about him, and it reminds me of Troutman, the like oh
• 13:39
  yes, sad, warm disappointment the Troutman has. Troutman is different though,
• 13:45
  because he's like, not my boys, just like you've got to do this,
• 13:48
  John, Yeah, totally, So I'm talking about different trumtmand number one
• 13:54
  not not the rest of or he's doing. Yeah, I'm using I'm using
• 14:01
  his fatherly status dramon totally. Man. Mister Crouchy's so good at this movie,
• 14:09
  dude, and like, so they bring Bruce to Harlem. He's like,
• 14:13
  so, we gotta take you to Harlem and didn't. No one's saying
• 14:16
  what he's doing. He's got to get himself. Last time I got this
• 14:18
  undressed was in front of my wife Holly, and everyone's going like, oh,
• 14:22
  you fucking loser, Bruce, Bruce. That relationship that's fall apart.
• 14:28
  The kids, John, they're okay, last they're okay, and it's like,
• 14:33
  did you talk to Holly? And then then the Crazy Eyes first Stark,
• 14:37
  No, I didn't speak to Holly. Dude, so mad, But
• 14:41
  like John McTiernan directed Crazy Eyes, Bruce is amazing. Like Wacky Eyes from
• 14:48
  John McTiernan new stage of Wacky Eyes. Yeah, there's one point where Bruce
• 14:54
  he's like looking shoulder, he's got shot or whatever. It's just like fucking
• 15:03
  dripping blood. Yeah, and hay arms. Yeah, hangy ar so hanging
• 15:09
  arms. And it was like, oh no, do use it as well.
• 15:13
  Yeah. I That's what I always thought is there's not enough blooded effort
• 15:18
  to like work. Maybe it usually does. Maybe it isn't wig. Let
• 15:22
  me just take a not wig, dude. Maybe the back isn't dude.
• 15:26
  This brother's Baulding detectives. No, take take the computer me, Like what
• 15:35
  analyzing the Baulding? No, no, dude, look at it. Look
• 15:37
  at it. I don't know. I don't know. Look at the front.
• 15:41
  Whispy, like it is very whispy, but like there's there, but
• 15:45
  there's like where what get it together? John? What I'm talking about is
• 15:50
  the slight discoloration between where the normal hair starts and the like little line.
• 15:56
  There's a line there where I'm like that seems like you're like, get together,
• 16:00
  John, Together, John, I'm gonna put a racist sign on John.
• 16:04
  Okay. So yeah, like he goes, he makes he makes Bruce
• 16:10
  go to the middle of Harlem and wear a sign. But Okay, the
• 16:15
  thing that ultimately doesn't make sense about this movie is the Simon toying with Bruce.
• 16:19
  It unfolds in a very John mcteernan way where like, oh, yeah,
• 16:22
  it seems like it makes sense. It seems like it makes sense.
• 16:26
  But then when the Predator comes in, you're like, wait, is this
• 16:27
  the same movie exactly exactly? And you're like, this is a die hard
• 16:30
  movie. No, I'm okay, no, but you know what I mean,
• 16:33
  like you no, the poor black woman who sees him just like like
• 16:37
  like j such a disappointed But also you see Bruce's performance feeling like man like
• 16:47
  I don't want to do work. He's like I don't want to hurt anybody
• 16:49
  like this where he's like he's like physically in pain because of it. And
• 16:55
  Okay, so this is one of the big things that I want to talk
• 16:57
  to you about this the It's one of the things I remember most from this
• 17:02
  movie. This movie made me feel like I was watching the real Samuel L.
• 17:07
  Jackson's views on race relations in America. Yeah, like there was a
• 17:11
  certain kind of ownership he took of, like the being the mouthpiece for this
• 17:17
  and there was a kind of like honesty he spoke with about race in America
• 17:21
  that felt very authentic and felt very like it felt like like it was somebody
• 17:26
  just like communicating direct thoughts. And I remember, remember I always thought that
• 17:30
  as a kid. Yeah, and be like, man, Samuel L is
• 17:33
  an activist, Like this is activism, Like to be impression impressioning a little
• 17:41
  kid like me and be telling me that message and me being able to see
• 17:45
  that as a kid. I think that was like really really cool and like
• 17:51
  a cool element of this movie. Yeah, for sure, and adds so
• 17:55
  much more to it. Just feels so different than like, let's put let's
• 18:03
  put you know, what's the dude's name again from the first one? Oh
• 18:10
  oh fuck yeah, oh man, the guy from Family Matters? Are you
• 18:15
  talking about the guy from fail? Oh Man? Reginald L. Johnson's like
• 18:23
  with Reginald VL Johnson. It just like this to go from having a kind
• 18:27
  of relationship with him to the way they kind of forced him into the sequel
• 18:36
  and then like that's what's very like disingenuous. This is almost like a like
• 18:40
  a like a red conning of black people, like like Fruce. Yeah,
• 18:45
  because like the first the second one has this like stumble and then it goes
• 18:52
  into this one where where it's like, no, he needs like a partner
• 18:56
  with him, and let's make it this guy and this is how they meet.
• 19:00
  It's like such a great way to build a relationship because what it what's
• 19:07
  funny about it, it's not just black people like Bruce, but white people
• 19:12
  like Samuel Jackson, because that's very good in this movie. It's like because
• 19:19
  he comes off he's so aggressive, but he's so instantly likable because you want
• 19:26
  to aggressive. I do want to use the word aggressive because he is aggressive.
• 19:30
  There, I have no problem, Like, like I get it there's
• 19:34
  a racist undertone to that, but like the reality is is that the way
• 19:40
  they set him up immediately because they get him in and the two kids who
• 19:45
  come in that we find out that he's their uncle, and he's like,
• 19:48
  why aren't you at school, like when trying to pawn something that a friend
• 19:53
  who stole the thing is like pawning or like someone they know from the neighborhood.
• 19:59
  And he's like, so like this guy's got plausible deniability. Now you
• 20:02
  guys have to stay in school. So he's kind of like he's trying to
• 20:04
  be like, it's interesting because he's trying to be a beacon to his kids
• 20:08
  and have an impact in his world. Right, he can't have an impact
• 20:12
  on society, but he's going to have impact in his own community exactly.
• 20:17
  And but but the best part is is that he is aggressive, but he's
• 20:21
  aggressive in the ways that he's like, I don't think he's aggressive. Can
• 20:23
  you let me fucking finish? Hold on Jesus? Yeah, Like why what
• 20:30
  do you want to say? Why? Like, why don't think I'm listening?
• 20:33
  Well, thank you. He's aggressive in the way that he wants,
• 20:37
  he wants, he wants things to be done, he needs things to be
• 20:41
  in a way that like with with his community, it's a balance of he's
• 20:45
  assertive. I was going to say, yeah, Like, what do you
• 20:48
  say it's being assertive not a type of aggression. I don't think so.
• 20:53
  No, No, I don't think so at all. Aggression imply what it
• 20:59
  implies anger, which he is a lot of the time in the movie.
• 21:02
  But he never he's never like losing any control and he's never he's always like
• 21:07
  he okay, fine, Like is it just the aggressive that like you're doing,
• 21:12
  you're deterring all of like all of the points I'm trying to make are
• 21:17
  now like I can't think of them now because it's like, oh my god,
• 21:19
  like you he was the word aggressive for a black guy. Oh no,
• 21:23
  it's like come on, dude, Okay, I'm listening to your well
• 21:26
  now I'm like, I have to find my place, Jesus. His nephews
• 21:30
  are telling him about Tony, who stole the radio and now has plausible deniability,
• 21:37
  and he asks he asks his nephews where they should be and they say
• 21:42
  school, and he engages them in a like a dialogue about what he wants
• 21:49
  them to know with them. He says, for what, why do you
• 21:53
  have to go to school to get educated? Why so we can get go
• 21:56
  to college? Why is that important? And then the kid goes aspect and
• 22:03
  he's like respect, uh, and like he's building a world for them to
• 22:10
  be engaged in as also what he's doing as a community member. And then
• 22:15
  he goes he goes to school and he has like a laugh because Tony Tony's
• 22:19
  gonna come and pick up the radio again. And then the kids see the
• 22:26
  Bruce willis wearing like yeah, exactly. But what's amazing about this performance too,
• 22:37
  is that not just you get the impact of like how he wants his
• 22:41
  community to be. But he sees a group of guys who are definitely not
• 22:45
  going to take the sign as lightly, like he takes it in such fucking
• 22:52
  stride with this dude to be like, oh my god, this guy is
• 22:56
  either like mentally ill or looking to get fuck killed. And Bruce Will is
• 23:00
  his face when he sees the shame and sadness but the please clap in his
• 23:07
  face? But what is it? What? What does he say? What
• 23:10
  does Will say to It's really funny? Good morning, Bruce's good morning.
• 23:18
  Are you having a nice day, sir? You're feeling all right? I
• 23:22
  love I love that. It's such a such a great performance, says so
• 23:27
  much. Yeah, and yeah, he's like he says, dude, when
• 23:33
  he says it, you're just like and he's like when you're wearing when you're
• 23:37
  wearing a sign that says and you're just like, oh my god, it's
• 23:41
  Shaw. It's Shaw. The way the way that this movie just moves from
• 23:47
  this point, it just like starts and like doesn't stop. And then the
• 23:52
  guys do notice Bruce's sign, but what But but he has got such a
• 23:56
  gray line, has either got some guy wearing a sign like that has either
• 24:00
  got some real personal issues or not. All his dogs are barking. He's
• 24:06
  like, oh, oh listen, oh cop, Yeah, it's totally listen.
• 24:11
  This is Cup against the good guys. But I think that was really
• 24:18
  realistic. I think totally Cop would have been like totally and it's like I
• 24:22
  don't care, dude. Yeah, and then like one of the guys throws
• 24:30
  a little like flicky nuts gets stuck in the side, and they all start
• 24:34
  but he he tries so hard to but like he tries so hard to be
• 24:40
  like, dude, like come into the shop, like we have to get
• 24:44
  out of here because not just not just I am gonna be in a lot
• 24:48
  of shit for even associating with you. But then but he also Bruce Willis
• 24:56
  does the thing where he's like, listen, something blew up earlier. I'm
• 25:00
  a cop. I actually need to We're just trying to get him to understand
• 25:03
  eat very quickly. Totally, it is really brilliant. I thought that was
• 25:07
  like a cool move that the movie makes, and also that I think Bruce
• 25:12
  would make, because Bruce is kind of like he's not very smart, but
• 25:18
  he's kind of like very savvy. You know. Yeah, he's definitely knows
• 25:22
  he knows what to say, he knows how to be brief, he knows
• 25:25
  how to talk to people, you know what I mean. Oh, and
• 25:29
  then and then the guy who's like, he's this is a friend of yours,
• 25:33
  and he's like, does this look like a friend of mine? And
• 25:37
  then he's like this dude escaped from the mental institution, and Bruce is pretending
• 25:41
  that. He's like, oh yeah, and he's like, I got a
• 25:44
  very bad headache, very bad, very bad. The next movie he's like,
• 25:48
  nun needs to go. Yeah, and the dude pulls a knife at
• 25:52
  him, and it's just like it's a pretty intense and scary scene, like
• 25:59
  like the dude one of the dudes cuts the sign off of him, and
• 26:02
  then somebody goes for fucking man. Somebody hits uh Samuel l They cuts it,
• 26:08
  they kill with a knife, and they hit Bruce and the head with
• 26:11
  a bottle and he falls down and picks up the gun that's taped back up
• 26:17
  back the fuck up dude, he screaming, dude. Can I also just
• 26:19
  say, well, also crazy eyes, crazy eyes, Samuel El totally?
• 26:25
  Can I also just say amazing? Use of handheld in this movie, dude,
• 26:30
  the handheld such like used to like portray such beautiful like anxiety intensity.
• 26:37
  It's so good. It was done so well, and it was very jerky.
• 26:41
  It's so jerky. Yeah, but it was so jerky specifically because I
• 26:45
  noticed it too, especially like you always sort of notice it. But when
• 26:49
  you're like really analyzing this movie, it's like, whoa, there's so much
• 26:53
  good handheld. It's way less like it's I would say it's grittier than the
• 26:57
  other two. Oh yeah, it's a slickers. Yeah. They're much more
• 27:03
  action movie of the nineties, whereas this is like hints of what action movies
• 27:08
  are to become in the two thousands for a long time. But then as
• 27:15
  Bruce gets flung to the streets, a car I think a cabby almost hits
• 27:18
  him, and then and then they steal the cabby. Yeah, nobody's trying
• 27:23
  to rob you, hey SEUs. And then he keeps calling him hey Zeus,
• 27:27
  which was embarrassing, so crazy. He's like, why do you keep
• 27:32
  calling me hey SEUs? I'm not hey SEUs. Zeus as in the Forgot
• 27:37
  of Thunders, Father Apollo mount Olympus, you heard of him? Yeah,
• 27:45
  I heard of him. Don't fuck me, allow, don't fuck me all
• 27:49
  shove a lightning bolt up your ass. It's it's interesting. It's interesting because
• 27:53
  there's already a racial element there where Bruce he's like miss aaking him for being
• 28:00
  a hayeseus. Yeah, so like right away, like they kind of like
• 28:06
  Bruce has to earn his respect, right because like he's like this guy,
• 28:11
  like, you're fucking racist cop, and I just saved your ass, you
• 28:14
  know what I mean? Yeah, he think he thinks like and also his
• 28:18
  first introduction to him was him wearing a side that said, hey, hey,
• 28:22
  can we give to the part where where I come into the all this
• 28:26
  he they'll both end up at the station getting interrogated about like what's happening?
• 28:32
  What does he know? And there's a psychologist there. Man, in my
• 28:34
  estimation, she's real what is it like? He's doing this for this guy?
• 28:40
  Yeah, this guy wants you to pound you into crumble man. And
• 28:44
  the nineties simultaneously wanted us to believe that the world is run by like these
• 28:48
  like experts that know everything, and also that those experts are full of shit
• 28:55
  totally not just experts full of shit, but they're also like kind of weirdly
• 28:57
  magical and not to be taking stories always like they're like, oh, he's
• 29:03
  like I don't know why, but yeah, yeah, even even even Doctor
• 29:10
  Silverman had like a very magical quality about him. Well, like here,
• 29:12
  here's the problem that you get into when when like well, when things are
• 29:21
  are presented in this way and people like don't really have time to go into
• 29:25
  like looking at different things or with critical thinking and think things like that where
• 29:27
  it's like you think to yourself, yeah, like there are people who are
• 29:32
  experts, but then like you see movies and they're like not experts, But
• 29:37
  then you see other movies where there are experts in a totally outrageous unrealistic way,
• 29:41
  and people form these like nebulous views of who these kinds like what these
• 29:48
  kinds of things are, so they automatically either think, oh, yeah,
• 29:51
  well, let's fall into the the what is it called in politics when like
• 29:55
  the hyper elite make all the decisions oligarchy, I don't know, oligarchy.
• 30:02
  No, those people with money make all decisions. People who are like hyper
• 30:06
  competent to make all the decisions. A meritocracy, not a meritocracy. That's
• 30:10
  like when people build I don't know. It's it's when like anyway, it
• 30:19
  doesn't matter, Like it forms a sort of weird, uh like nebulous sloop
• 30:27
  of differing ideas of what society should look like, and it's like who should
• 30:33
  run how and whatever? Right, And it sucks because it's like, you
• 30:38
  know, like how do you talk about government, Like how do you talk
• 30:45
  about uh government non functioning well without it devolving into like government shouldn't exist,
• 30:52
  or how do you talk about like institutions and like that. That's what's cool
• 30:57
  about mc tiernan style of like shooting the kinds of guys who are hypercompetent but
• 31:06
  still like in an action movie kind of sense. So he brings you into
• 31:08
  this like like sort of magical world with these like very realistic people in it.
• 31:15
  Well, that's what the idea of this movie kind of is about.
• 31:19
  It's like, we're going to blow up this money so that, like he
• 31:23
  says, our ideology is we're going to blow up this money so that like
• 31:27
  governments are starting from zero again. And it's like there was this idea of
• 31:33
  like starting from zero. I think even that's the plot of Escape from La
• 31:36
  is like, oh, start from zero, presses a button and it brings
• 31:41
  us back to the Stone Age, and it's like there's a real kind of
• 31:42
  like anarchistic view to that. There's a real kind of like sort of like
• 31:47
  conservative view of like we'd get back to what's really true and real if we
• 31:52
  did something like that. Or I don't know, is there's like a it
• 31:56
  is an anarchy. I don't know what it is, you know, like
• 32:00
  technocracy, that's what I meant, right, Yeah, when I built by
• 32:05
  a lead of technical Yeah, technocracy. But in terms of what you're talking
• 32:09
  about as like an anarchism, yeah, that can shift into two different parts.
• 32:15
  That can shift into right wing anarchism or left wing anarchism, but they
• 32:19
  both end up in a similar spot of like, oh, well, let's
• 32:21
  build communities that it's like, well, it's interesting. Yeah, And like
• 32:24
  again, of course, the motivation in this movie is just like he wants
• 32:28
  to happen. He wants the money. Yeah, which is great, which
• 32:30
  is great, it runs in the family. It's also like awesome because of
• 32:36
  the fact that it gives him the opportunity to It gives Bruce will or John
• 32:40
  McClain the opportunity to like really think about what the motivations are for the the
• 32:46
  Simon, but at the same time, Simon does kind of do it out
• 32:51
  of a pettiness. He uses the opportunity, but it is there is like
• 32:55
  a brotherly love. That's my brother. I want to brother that. It's
• 33:00
  like this is just the bonus. Yeah, exactly, exactly, but yeah,
• 33:05
  I feel like that's why it's die Hard with revenge. Dude with a
• 33:08
  revenge. Yeah, totally totally so uh w how did it go again?
• 33:16
  I don't know, I forget the serbian title sauce f. I think okay,
• 33:29
  I think so, I think so okay. Anyway, Sorry, Like
• 33:31
  I love this scene because it sets up so much nice Danny mal Rooms,
• 33:37
  specifically the bald glasses bomb expert. Oh dude, that guy was in me
• 33:44
  and he never graduated from Danny mal roumin status. No, no, it's
• 33:47
  but he did a really good job, gets his own hero moment, which
• 33:51
  is really nice. But his set up where they're there, yeah, when
• 33:54
  when they're and they get this guy who's like the like, oh yeah,
• 34:01
  the kind of key's got like a smug lawyer face. Yeah, a smug
• 34:06
  lawyer face guy he gets set up who lets in the villains into the hole
• 34:09
  to like, oh yeah, he's like stupid. But anyway, so these
• 34:15
  are like what's nice about these guys is it gets set up right at the
• 34:17
  beginning of the movie, like fifteen minutes in and he, like the bomb
• 34:22
  expert puts a little like tab of the like mix of the bomb the plastic
• 34:28
  or whatever, and he's like, if I hit it, nothing will happen.
• 34:31
  But if I add this little mix and toss it, and he throws
• 34:35
  it and it blows up a chair or whatever. He totally tries the tooth
• 34:39
  with the bomb. Rarely do we get Danny Ruse right the tooth, dude.
• 34:44
  I mean, it's it's awesome because it gives later on for John McLean
• 34:49
  later on the idea of how to get Zeus out of the handcuffs. But
• 34:52
  we'll get to that. Yeah, and it's nice because, uh, you
• 34:58
  know everybody is. It does feel good when people are like working together and
• 35:02
  being like, oh, yeah, this is kind of cool. Like I
• 35:06
  wish the police did treat things like crime like this. Well, I mean
• 35:09
  like, but in order for that to be the case, they'd have to
• 35:12
  be like, you know, fucking Batman, bad villain. Yeah, totally
• 35:17
  exact guys, exact things all the time. Yeah, like because it fundamentally
• 35:23
  misunderstands what evil is good. There's like good and evil and that's what this
• 35:31
  that's the reality this movie is functioning with. There's like bad people and we're
• 35:36
  getting the bad bad guys, bad guys. Yeah, totally. Speaking of
• 35:40
  bad guys, Zeus gets the title. Uh, first of all, racistly,
• 35:49
  you got a problem with Ebony. Remember where he calls him the Samaritan.
• 35:53
  Yeah, oh yeah, I'm the bad guy. Dude, keep calling
• 35:59
  me the good guy, not a good guy. I'm a bad guy.
• 36:05
  Yeah. He They incorporate him into the plans. Yeah, like a Simon
• 36:10
  groupers Like, well, I didn't expect that you would be joining, but
• 36:14
  since you did, I guess now I'm going to make you part of my
• 36:15
  plans. Yeah, totally. And so like he kind of keeps coming up
• 36:20
  with these like the ways. It's like you gotta get to this place,
• 36:23
  and like he goes, like, what's your name? Boy? It's like
• 36:30
  and then he goes, he is an assembly. He is assembly malicious of
• 36:34
  like tall Germans. That's true. Yeah, and he but it was it
• 36:39
  was interesting because he goes, you're calling me boy, and he's like,
• 36:44
  I'm sorry that was my poor attempt humor, It's like, oh man,
• 36:47
  dude, he's like it's weird, like he's being he's being Alexander's cars guard
• 36:53
  from Succession racist, totally like euro edgy racist, but not really. He's
• 36:59
  like, but I'm really just joking. Yeah, oh man, it's been
• 37:01
  thirty years, guys. It's been forty years guys. Yeah, like,
• 37:07
  uh, I mean, can I understand it? Just over its guys?
• 37:09
  That was so longer? That was only five years ago. Yeah, totally.
• 37:14
  Oh man, when he goes when he imitates stutters, but like like
• 37:20
  Simon Gruber's also pretending to stutters so that he can seem like a certain kind
• 37:23
  of crazy person for the expert. Yeah, read about the kind of expert
• 37:28
  that they would have and then tried the tooth with mental any what's this?
• 37:32
  This is such a man boy movie where it's like for for men and boys
• 37:37
  and ideas. Adult men were either fighting people, hitting people or calmly talking
• 37:45
  to each other in rooms and coming up with ideas calmly talking to each other
• 37:52
  in rooms. And but I love Samuel Jackson being like like this is why
• 38:00
  people should it's white people problems and I'm not doing this I'm leaving. Yeah,
• 38:05
  and then Bruce lies to him that there's a bomb in Harlem so that
• 38:10
  he can get him to help him. Yeah. Yeah, and you know
• 38:14
  what, trying the tooth with racism, trying the tooth with racism. I
• 38:16
  believe it. I believe it. And they go to the first phone,
• 38:22
  and so how do they have to get to the first phone? They have
• 38:24
  to like drive, No, they just drive to it, and and Bruce
• 38:30
  Willis first tries to indulge the poor lady and then saying just just goes get
• 38:37
  off the damn phone. Okay, so why didn't you just say that was
• 38:42
  a fat woman? Whatever? Every like, And there's also like she's about
• 38:46
  three D there's like literally like a DRD lines focusing on how fat this woman
• 38:53
  is. Yeah, absolutely, which she's not that fat. I was like
• 38:57
  not just totally normal, and like, why didn't you just say that was
• 39:00
  a fat woman? She's like she's she's I don't know, she's she looks
• 39:06
  she's shot in a very it doesn't in offensive way. It doesn't matter,
• 39:10
  it doesn't matter. It's just like it's so weird how we've had several movies
• 39:15
  of Bruce and like that. It's mentioned so much in Bruce movies. Yeah,
• 39:19
  totally, I'm sure you can find a different phone across the street,
• 39:22
  man, let's get the stream like that she doesn't want to walk across the
• 39:29
  but but but him also being like, uh, doing the white splaining thing
• 39:34
  of like listen on the car burn I'm on official police business. You're not
• 39:38
  doing anything totally right, yeah, like don't ever do that shit again.
• 39:43
  And then yeah, but then being like you need me more than I need
• 39:46
  you. You eat p more than that is wrong with you? You need
• 39:54
  you eat? Oh dude, man, sometimes I love my own brilliant student.
• 40:07
  But he he but he knows he's he's smart. He's definitely smarter than
• 40:13
  Bruce in this movie because it's like he understands. Yeah, because he understands
• 40:19
  that it's like, dude, like this situation is fucked and like I don't
• 40:24
  have to stay here, like you just figure the shit out yourself totally ye.
• 40:28
  Like as the movie goes, he gets more involved unfortunately like for him,
• 40:34
  but Bruce, Bruce immediately is like, all right, I need you
• 40:37
  more than you need me because he's humble, Bruce. He is, He's
• 40:42
  so humble in this movie because of the fact that he's back right where he
• 40:45
  started in the first way, and that's why the second one doesn't work as
• 40:49
  well as this one, because he's so at hit the top of his game.
• 40:53
  He's Rocky three in this movie. Yeah, yeah, of the Rockies.
• 40:58
  Yeah, I agree. I think he also just I think there's a
• 41:04
  way that he owns his own position in the situation that makes him feel less
• 41:10
  racist. Yeah, totally, Or like it's not less racist, it's just
• 41:15
  like ignorant of of like certain things and understanding that he is and doesn't know
• 41:22
  because like, I mean, the the shitty thing about terms like racist is
• 41:27
  the fact that it's like we all are and like we all have our blind
• 41:30
  spots with those things. It's just like the way culture melds like racism versus
• 41:37
  what's it called systemic racism, and not being able to like have nuanced with
• 41:43
  certain kinds of words end up like being like putting people in these positions where
• 41:47
  it's like, well, you're racist, and it's like even though they might
• 41:50
  have done a racist thing, and it's like it is racist in the moment,
• 41:52
  and you'll just end up being like, oh, well I'm not racist,
• 41:55
  and it's like, bro, it's not OK, but I think I
• 41:59
  think also there's there's the kind of like your prejudice versus racist, Like racist
• 42:06
  implies a sort of maliciousness or hatred that people don't want to be associated.
• 42:10
  Yeah totally, yeah exactly, So that's what they're reacting to. They're being
• 42:15
  reacting to being called bad people, which nobody wants to believe about themselves.
• 42:20
  Totally. But yeah, like and that's why, like I think Bruce is
• 42:24
  just being himself in this movie, and that's something that Samuel all can respect.
• 42:29
  Yeah totally. And Samuel's wig looks really good in this Oh yeah totally,
• 42:34
  but good nice, nice, a little bit of a balt a little
• 42:37
  bit of maybe it's not a wig, maybe this is his real I think
• 42:40
  it is. It is a little bit. There's filled in stuff. Don't
• 42:44
  for him too, I don't know, but yeah, I love I love
• 42:49
  this setup too, where where what's his name? Bruce gets gets the first
• 42:55
  riddle and he's like, so was guy's confused? And then hold on,
• 43:07
  McClean, I got this. I'm good at the stuff. And then it's
• 43:09
  just like figuring it out and then and then Bruce having the like yeah,
• 43:15
  you got the answer, Like the excitement that he doesn't have to think about
• 43:20
  it, he's got a guy that can do this kind of thinking for him,
• 43:23
  and totally excited that there's someone else to solve. But then he like
• 43:30
  gets the thing wrong and he's like no, no, no, it's not
• 43:31
  that, and he's like, wait what it's not that. It's one of
• 43:35
  those mysteries. So he's kind of like because he realizes it's a misdirect thing
• 43:38
  and but like now Bruce's it's one confidence Yeah, totally, totally. Yeah.
• 43:45
  So it's like it's really cool because these guys have to like rely on
• 43:47
  each other and one of them is a white cop and the other one is
• 43:52
  a black guy from Harlem, and like it's really interesting. The Perry gets
• 43:55
  really like totally these kinds of guys is a really good point, and the
• 44:01
  movie mentions Rodney King right like so like it is it is. The movie
• 44:07
  has the awareness of this. Yeah, and then they they He's like ah
• 44:14
  ha ha too late, and then he makes them like humiliate themselves by jumping
• 44:21
  away from a bomb and then he I didn't say Simon says yeah exactly,
• 44:27
  which is such a good way of like adding that too. That in it
• 44:31
  too where it's like, oh, this is sometimes he does. Sometimes he
• 44:35
  doesn't say, Simon says, and it's like, oh, I gotta trick
• 44:37
  this person tricks and so many stolen cars in this just so many people.
• 44:45
  He stops a New York cab so they can go into the subway. Doesn't
• 44:52
  Jeremy Iron seem like he could be the brother of Oh yeah, totally.
• 44:58
  Yeah Slytherin man that I am slither not not Slitherin. I'm so slyther His
• 45:07
  name is sname, My name is sebatis name. Yeah, exactly from Slytherin.
• 45:21
  I don't know anything about Harry Potter, Yeah, not much. I
• 45:23
  know I know that there's SI. I know that there's a little bit of
• 45:29
  a slitherm. Did we get these like fucking great action scenes just so like
• 45:38
  all the driving shit is so hyperkinetic and so awesome and so well shot and
• 45:45
  driving through fucking the park Oh yeah, that was really cool and like I
• 45:52
  know a better way like he used to and he used to he used to
• 45:55
  drive a cab Samuel Jackson, which is great because he's like going yeast,
• 46:00
  yeah, we should be going out. He's like, hold down, I
• 46:05
  didn't see the parkway said through the park brings the rules, Bruce, and
• 46:09
  then he requests an emergency vehicle so that he can Oh man, so good,
• 46:17
  and he loses a bunch of people who are following him, but then
• 46:21
  he just ends up following the car and he But what's awesome is Bruce gets
• 46:28
  the idea to split up. Oh yeah, so he can get on the
• 46:31
  subway earlier. Yeah, earlier on the line. And then Samuel l has
• 46:36
  to get to the station before him. Yeah, exactly. And then Bruce
• 46:39
  misses the subway, so he goes runs out and jumps onto the subway car,
• 46:46
  which is so scary. So can I just say, like, as
• 46:51
  much as people are always like, ah heat, ah heat, It's got
• 46:53
  such amazing action scenes. This feels like so much. Christopher Nolan took so
• 47:00
  much from this and put it in the Batman movies. Uncle's boised. Now
• 47:06
  in the Batman movies, added Harry right, Oh man, dude. And
• 47:12
  then as Samuel all is stopped and some douche bag gets into the car.
• 47:19
  Oh yeah, some some fucking uh what you don't like white people? And
• 47:27
  he looked he had so much uh George Anthony Devolder Santos energy. He gave
• 47:31
  me. He gave me. I thought he was like very ted raymy oh
• 47:37
  yeah, my god, would totally play dude like this totally in in in
• 47:45
  a way lower budget maybe a Van dam movie instead, it wouldn't have McTiernan
• 47:50
  budget. McTiernan would never cast say Ted Ray maybe now well now due mctiernan's
• 47:58
  so good, dude, Yeah, totally, yeah, for sure. Bruce
• 48:01
  gets in and he's like, come a cop, all right, calm down
• 48:06
  everybody when he's like looking for the bomb. And then Samuel gets down into
• 48:12
  the subway to get to the phone, and the guy who the Ted Raby
• 48:15
  guys just frightened in the back. Hilarious, dude, at this Probably we've
• 48:20
  had kind of almost like a Samuel l mini season. Oh yeah, the
• 48:24
  amount we've talked about him, like and if you guys want to hear some
• 48:28
  extra episodes like deeply c and of course and which one dude good night along
• 48:34
  kiss good night? Yeah, totally do you want to hear some of those
• 48:37
  episodes? Definitely come a patron. Bruce Willis sees an emergency phone that looks
• 48:42
  very strange and not like an emergency phone, and he takes it. He
• 48:46
  opens it and sees that there's a bomb inside is inside the plastico And what
• 48:52
  was what's nice about this scene is that also Samuel L does these in the
• 49:00
  writing and the performance. There's such nice subtlety where Bruce Will has picked up
• 49:06
  the phone or yell he didn't want to yell at the woman and and uh,
• 49:13
  what's his name? Samuel scared her off. And then when he gets
• 49:16
  into the subway, he's like jumps over the rail. He jumps, or
• 49:21
  like the subway security guy sees him this like wiener guy. Yeah, and
• 49:24
  he's like he follows him. Yeah, And Samuel LL gets down and starts
• 49:30
  trying to he steals the phone away from well, he gets another business guy.
• 49:34
  Well, he's like he's like he first he wants to be like chill
• 49:37
  about it, nice about it because he's like, Okay, I don't want
• 49:38
  to cause the drama or anything, right. And then well, and it's
• 49:44
  also there's a respectability thing about it of like, oh this guy, I
• 49:47
  am a black man, I know my place in this society. And I
• 49:52
  think he's trying to be like approach it from dan angle of not trying to
• 49:55
  see exactly scary to this person or aggressive, right, what I said.
• 50:01
  But dude, when he's like, uh, please, can I use the
• 50:07
  phone? Use the other one, and he lifts up the thing and it's
• 50:09
  just fiers and he's like, hey, listen, bro, I was here
• 50:15
  first, and get away from the goddamn phone. It's mad. Yeah,
• 50:22
  I loved it. And then but dude, the cop, the squeamish,
• 50:28
  shaky, her hands up, shaky fucking cop. Man, it was so
• 50:32
  And then subtlely when sorry, sorry, but subtly when he puts the phone
• 50:37
  back on the on the monk, oh man, okay, you have to
• 50:40
  answer the phone, like so so brilliantly. It's amazing, amazing Samula all
• 50:49
  performance, Like that's the thing. It's like he's already been set up so
• 50:55
  much earlier in the movie as a person who's very where of what it means
• 51:01
  to be black in America, in New York City at this time, et
• 51:06
  cetera, et cetera. All these things like just to like be like to
• 51:08
  have a gun on him pulled by a police officer, like this movie is
• 51:12
  like relevant, like like maybe even more so today, you know what I
• 51:16
  mean? Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely except for no cell phones, right
• 51:21
  of course. But man, when damn sell your phone. Yeah, and
• 51:28
  this guy who's like, oh man, this Wiener guy who they got,
• 51:31
  who's the perfect, the perfect weener cop to be like put your heads up,
• 51:40
  yeah, totally, and and him being like him picking up the phone
• 51:45
  and being like I'm here and McLean, he's come. He's out of shape,
• 51:52
  yeah, and then and then he just goes like duck oh man,
• 52:00
  and then the McClean throws the bomb out something like you're, oh yeah,
• 52:07
  if you want to shoot me, then shoot me, but I have to
• 52:12
  answer the phone, man, dude. And then this fucking thing where he
• 52:22
  and this this is why the wiener cop pays off and the fucking police guy
• 52:28
  or the business guy pays off. Man, it's the McClean throws the fucking
• 52:35
  bomb out the car and it's slow motions outside totally, and it's just like
• 52:39
  all in blackness. You just see the yellow phone a contrast with black.
• 52:44
  And then the fucking bomb explodes and the train car flies out, and fucking
• 52:47
  Samuel pulls the cop and throws him down, saves the cop and fucking what's
• 52:53
  his name Bruce Willis jumps down and the car just like destroys the stairs and
• 53:00
  like shoots out the plume of smoke and it just like it looks so viscerally
• 53:06
  nine to eleven that it's scary. It's like it's just like that kind of
• 53:10
  stuff when shot that widely, and like people like huddling away and like like
• 53:16
  dust getting on them. It's so scary. Well, you know, like
• 53:20
  they stopped filming movies in settings like New York. Every remember when nine to
• 53:24
  eleven happened. Everything was like a moratorium on like any content they cut.
• 53:30
  They blacklisted songs that reminded people of planes and nine to eleven and things like
• 53:35
  that, like, I it's crazy to me that this you know, like
• 53:43
  they were imagining it so much and then it happened. Yeah, when And
• 53:46
  what's interesting about that happening? That kind of crazy event and show in a
• 53:53
  city like in a city like New York, like shifting the mindset and how
• 54:00
  useful it became as like the never forget stuff, how usefully became as propaganda
• 54:06
  to be like you look at this, look at this Superman. It's nine
• 54:09
  elevening an entire city where it's just like whoa this kind of imagery so intensely
• 54:16
  focused on as like this is what your human tragedy means, and this is
• 54:22
  how we're going to get in the emotion. Yeah, this is how we're
• 54:23
  gonna weaponize emotions against you. But also never show the blood or or show
• 54:30
  any of the actual aftermath, Like this movie shows aftermath of shit. And
• 54:34
  yeah, sure there's like stuff where he's like, oh man, I'm not
• 54:37
  waiting Virduan today, you know, silly lines like that, but it's like
• 54:42
  you see people reacting and they're terrified. There's yeah, but there's still an
• 54:45
  innocence to it, like that. Bruce is so tough and well we have
• 54:50
  we have a hero to look up that, whereas like with fucking Superman,
• 54:52
  we have him snapping the next of people and being like this is how we're
• 54:57
  gonna have to save people, you know, Whereas like Bruce is always like,
• 55:00
  oh no, people died because of me. I was part of that,
• 55:05
  you know, Whereas like yeah, Bruce always like he's like he takes
• 55:07
  it personally. Yeah, would people die? Right, And it's like this
• 55:13
  shouldn't have happened. These people shouldn't have died. He gets mad, something
• 55:16
  happens, right, whereas like Superman is like, yeah, stuff needs to
• 55:22
  happen. Wait, why are you comparing it so much a Superman. Well,
• 55:24
  because in Batman v. Superman, when when you see the imagery from
• 55:30
  the first Superman of like buildings collapsing, like people used to compare it so
• 55:37
  much to nine to eleven, and then in the second one having Batman featured
• 55:40
  in a nine to eleven scenario dictating all of what his world us are going
• 55:45
  to be. That's sort of like how they kind of trying to mush like
• 55:51
  a sort of American jingoism into that movie, whereas this one, the innocence
• 55:54
  that you mentioned is used as a way to show a type of hero and
• 56:01
  show what we can be in situations like this. Yeah, there's like a
• 56:06
  real kind of like purity of American spirit. Yeah, exactly, we can
• 56:09
  be people who experience this and be Bruce, who's like, oh no,
• 56:14
  life is important. Those people died. They were just faceless people who didn't
• 56:19
  have blood when we shot them. You know, it's it's like, oh
• 56:22
  no, this is sad. Something sad happened, you know. Man,
• 56:25
  these next day animal runs, they all get pulled in. Bruce makes a
• 56:31
  reference to his deaf ear that he got from blood splattered blood starts, Wait,
• 56:37
  is this the elevator. No, this isn't the elevator. This is
• 56:39
  them getting pulled into the FBI van to be like, we need to know
• 56:44
  what he knows? What does he know? Do you know? Does the
• 56:47
  name other German bad guy in this movie? Tall German bad guy ring a
• 56:53
  bell? He's the he was great, the tall the Jaws of this movie.
• 57:00
  He was such a good secondary bad guy totally. And the woman secondary
• 57:06
  bad guy, the severe woman who was so hot, so German, so
• 57:09
  German, so severe. And of course our main character, doctor Fluger Christ
• 57:16
  here here pigs here doctor Yeah, and they interrogate him a little bit,
• 57:24
  uh, and then we get a phone call. We get like the mystery
• 57:28
  guy in the background who's like chewing on his glasses. Still chewing on your
• 57:31
  glasses to look more manly. Yeah, that guy was in this. That
• 57:37
  guy's a really really good actor. He was in Mister Robot. Uh.
• 57:43
  But this scene where he's like does the mystery guy in the back is like,
• 57:46
  does the name Simon Phoenix not Simon Simon Gruber, No, not Simon
• 57:52
  Hans Gruber. No. He says something like it's a different name, like
• 57:58
  he was born Oh no, no, yeah, yeah, I'm just saying
• 58:01
  the guy he's like, does the name Gruber mean anything to you? And
• 58:05
  then Bruce has like the moment and then it cuts to that first scene where
• 58:08
  he just sees Hans falling. That's that's so impactful. Even as kids when
• 58:15
  we were like I didn't see the first one. Yeah where, but even
• 58:17
  still you knew it's like, oh, that's this port yeah yeah right,
• 58:22
  and you didn't need uh any even the first look they could be brothers.
• 58:27
  They did, that's my brother. I want to see my brother and and
• 58:32
  herrings a bell. Yeah I love that line. And then the other guy
• 58:37
  is like, not gonna tell me in La like that thing with the building
• 58:42
  in LA. I love it. I was just gonna say, do how
• 58:45
  much do you love that? This movie is about brothers? Yea brothers,
• 58:51
  dude, brothers? Oh man, would you want to be a bad Basically,
• 59:00
  the whole setup of the movie, this is really where the movie starts,
• 59:04
  is the whole like big setup of the movie where it's like three o'clock
• 59:07
  school building is going to explode. We all have to like locate, we
• 59:13
  all have to go there so that this ship doesn't explode. The ship's gotta
• 59:20
  stop. Miller dude. Also, I gotta say this lady appears throughout the
• 59:27
  movie. Her name is Sharon Washington. She plays Officer Jane. She's also
• 59:31
  a d animal, but so good. Also, she did such a good
• 59:37
  job. She had like enough of a character that she could have had a
• 59:40
  name. Totally totally, but I love again. I wish things when they
• 59:47
  were in such chaos work this way. But Arthur Cobb is the kind of
• 59:52
  police chief that I would always want in every community because he's like, now
• 59:58
  there are thousands of buildings, I need sanitation workers everybody, although like government
• 1:00:02
  employees to just start checking schools for bombs. And like with the calmness of
• 1:00:10
  this and the co calmness of a Graham Green, Graham Green was so good
• 1:00:15
  in like he's the kind of like side actor that like instills instills majestic and
• 1:00:22
  everything and like no, but like instills your faith in things. Like you
• 1:00:25
  just you see him and you're like, yeah, like I mean, like
• 1:00:28
  if this guy's involved, I'm sure it'll be fine, of course. Mister
• 1:00:30
  Crabtree himself yeah ah man. And I uh like Simon Gruber that like beautiful
• 1:00:37
  camera shot of like the overhead and then they travels right over to Simon and
• 1:00:44
  he's like looking through the binoculars and he's like they bought it hook line and
• 1:00:49
  he does it like weird face thing, and so he's thinking he's slinky in
• 1:00:54
  this he's sex He is very sexy in the movie. He They definitely he
• 1:01:00
  sexed him up. I think like dyed hair. Dude. Yeah, dude.
• 1:01:04
  And as he says, sinker, he'd we see the trucks come in
• 1:01:07
  that are going to take away. Oh, we also get at the beginning
• 1:01:09
  they tried the truth by saying that there were fourteen don't truck stolen stolen?
• 1:01:15
  They say it at the Yeah, there's like a mention of it, just
• 1:01:17
  to the side of like, oh, I don't know, they just got
• 1:01:21
  stolen. I wonder why they're trying the tooth. Yeah, for sure.
• 1:01:29
  All the phone calls, Oh it's not Officer Jane. That's not the lady
• 1:01:32
  I was talking about. There's another black lady with a yellow outfit. Oh,
• 1:01:38
  she was so good. The lady who gets pissed for having to the
• 1:01:45
  dispatcher. Yeah, yeah, she's so hilarious because all the dispatchers have to
• 1:01:50
  go to one area now for everything because all the sanitation workers and everybody's been
• 1:01:54
  moved to getting into what's it called looking for the bombs in the buildings.
• 1:02:01
  Uh. And Hans Gruber comes up to this doofy like Danny maul ruined guy
• 1:02:08
  who like works to the mayor, and he's like, shows him a badge
• 1:02:14
  that says he's part of the like engineering department of the city, like that
• 1:02:20
  needs to take care of this big hole that's been made. Uh. And
• 1:02:23
  they drive all this he's doctor No, no're not here. Yeah, he's
• 1:02:28
  not doctor yet he's the other He puts on the terrible American accent, the
• 1:02:34
  terrible American accent does it's so funny. Yeah, like a British guy doing
• 1:02:39
  a German guy doing an American accent. And now it's Flugauga. They go
• 1:02:45
  into the bank and he's like, hello, I'm doctor literally doctor. I
• 1:02:52
  left so much, Dude, I laughed so much. It's so funny.
• 1:03:00
  Christ Fondest New Dice, heia fondest New Dice, heia fondest New Dice.
• 1:03:02
  Kua oh Man, doctor Floga oh Man. And the severe tall German guy
• 1:03:12
  the Jaws when he's like lanky doctor pick like body but like a dangerous doctor
• 1:03:20
  pick scary doctor pick oh Man and then he he uh like otto, the
• 1:03:29
  big the dull German guy shoots that that Danny Mulrouna takes his badge. Yeah,
• 1:03:37
  so like they do like a hostile takeover of the the bank. It's
• 1:03:43
  like we're more of a central bank, we governments and things like that.
• 1:03:46
  Yeah, while Samuel l and oh Man, the shirt's already getting dirty for
• 1:03:52
  Bruce Willis and like I love his like oversized, like the like button up
• 1:03:57
  that he's very It's kind of like Kirkland from It's Very Dad Chic, Dad
• 1:04:03
  Core Superbus. Yeah, totally. Oh Man. And the severe lady who
• 1:04:09
  like pulls out the like Katia is her name, dude, she pulls She's
• 1:04:16
  so good. She pulls out the wire cutters and like cuts through the fence
• 1:04:20
  and just throws them casually down, and it's like so determined, like knows
• 1:04:26
  exactly what to do. And then the tall German guy brings down that like
• 1:04:30
  random space machine that Schwartzy uses to Oh dude. Yeah, like they have
• 1:04:36
  the like power drills from Total Recalls, like drill into the big yeah,
• 1:04:42
  and they like make a big hole. Yeah, they totally. I was
• 1:04:45
  I thought the Schwartzy was she into from Yeah, totally, totally. And
• 1:04:49
  then they break into the bank and they're just stealing gold. Yeah, I
• 1:04:54
  love gold, but I thought this was a currency exchange. Make that dude.
• 1:05:00
  Then they've put him to sleep with the like also the Tranquilized, they
• 1:05:08
  just used the same John mcderian just used them. He also used He also
• 1:05:16
  used some of the same actors. Dean Norris, Oh yeah, totally.
• 1:05:21
  Who you thought was Roles from the I thought he was Rolls from the Wire
• 1:05:26
  God give out a walk back. Did you like how Gibbons you can't leave
• 1:05:34
  the best like that was in this movie? Oh yeah, totally Gibbons,
• 1:05:45
  you know. Yeah? Oh man, them them treating gold like gold was
• 1:05:56
  great. That's like something you don't really see that often. Like gold is
• 1:05:59
  fucking heavy, and it's not just like gold is heavy, like one bar
• 1:06:03
  of gold is heavy, like like you wouldn't even be able to lift bags
• 1:06:10
  of that. That's why I love the idea of like them bringing in like
• 1:06:14
  truckloads and like getting the cranes or the cranes the I don't know those pushes
• 1:06:19
  pushes front Jean, but yeah, them drilling through and the Katia like sexily
• 1:06:27
  going through the vault, and then the like guard being like they're coming in,
• 1:06:32
  they're breaking in, and her like like going through the safe and then
• 1:06:38
  just murdering him. It was like and that guard like frantically shooting the shotgun.
• 1:06:43
  There's a little bit of a kind of nihilism with the taking of lives
• 1:06:47
  in this movie. Though, Yeah, I don't feel like maybe you know,
• 1:06:50
  like it was scary and sad in the movies before, but like it
• 1:06:55
  feels like Bruce kills some people and he's not really that sad about it.
• 1:07:00
  He's a little dead eyed about it. He's a little dead eyed about it.
• 1:07:03
  It's I mean, it's the third time. And also it's like,
• 1:07:06
  oh no, I have to stop bombs from blowing up at different parts of
• 1:07:12
  the city. But like when Cotton comes in, she got the like like
• 1:07:17
  the swirly sword or whatever, and she like slices this dude's neck and she
• 1:07:23
  he's like, I think he's dead. I think he's dead. Yeah,
• 1:07:31
  man, And then like the aggression to which everybody's using like really like intense
• 1:07:42
  machines in this to drive into the vault like with such confidence. It's like,
• 1:07:48
  man, really this but it's awesome. Yeah, And they finally get
• 1:07:55
  to the phone Bruce and and Samuel and John answer phone. He's like,
• 1:08:00
  John, you're out of shape. You've barely made it. You've barely made
• 1:08:06
  what has four leggs and travels? What has four legs and tross? You
• 1:08:12
  don't have kids? Do? Yeah? And then I don't get her.
• 1:08:15
  Father better. I don't get it either. Better father Samuel, But he's
• 1:08:19
  not a fault. I don't even know if he's a father. He's like,
• 1:08:21
  but he's got kids he takes care of that's true, he's got nephews,
• 1:08:28
  but he I don't know. He seems like he's a father because he's
• 1:08:30
  got like he's got all this shit. But I love I love how they
• 1:08:33
  figure out the next bomb and Samuel being like, don't open it, Smarts,
• 1:08:41
  You've just I've just active. I am a bomb. You have just
• 1:08:45
  heartened me. Shit, I told you not to open it. And then
• 1:08:50
  they have to like do this game where they're filling in so like there's like
• 1:08:56
  a water game and like my math brain doesn't understand. So like there's a
• 1:09:00
  three leader bottle and a five leader bottle and they have to put exactly four
• 1:09:05
  leads the weight of four leaders on one of the on the on the pad
• 1:09:12
  so that it like disarms the bump. But I'm not sure, Like,
• 1:09:15
  what do they figure out? You have to like empty, there's some way
• 1:09:20
  you have to fill. You fill the three with three, and then you
• 1:09:27
  fill the a third with the I don't know. I don't know. No,
• 1:09:33
  yeah, because what was it. I'm trying to figure it out.
• 1:09:35
  I don't know. I don't know. If they figure out, and it's
• 1:09:39
  pretty great, but I'm like, yeah, if regular, regular people have
• 1:09:44
  to solve these puzzles, I don't know, invited, I don't Yeah,
• 1:09:46
  I would be fucked. I'd feel like seven weights start again. Yeah,
• 1:09:56
  exactly, exactly, dude. But when he goes you done and then he's
• 1:10:00
  like, what were you gonna say? See? So, like this is
• 1:10:04
  where Bruce has his reverse racism moment and like have I oppressed you? Have
• 1:10:10
  I oppressed your people? Somehow? It's kind of weird because it is.
• 1:10:14
  I do think that the movie is also siding with him in a way.
• 1:10:16
  Ideologically. It's like, hey, stop complaining about this, and it's like
• 1:10:23
  whoa what No, I mean, I mean, I don't I don't know
• 1:10:30
  if I agree. Maybe maybe but I don't know, Like I don't doubt
• 1:10:35
  that Bruce Willis, Bruce Willis's character at like best would believe this kind of
• 1:10:42
  thing or would say this kind of thing. Have I oppressed? You have
• 1:10:45
  it? It's like that's not that's not the point, dude. Like it's
• 1:10:48
  like I get I get what he's doing, Like this isn't the situation like
• 1:10:51
  we're doing something else now, you know, like get with it sort of
• 1:10:56
  thing, but like I don't know, it's just it's like it's that the
• 1:11:01
  point is it's them coming together to solve a problem together, So like it
• 1:11:06
  kind of doesn't matter, but like on a macro sense, it does matter,
• 1:11:12
  and they're the movie's doing so much to say so many things about this
• 1:11:16
  that I feel like in this moment, it's like I don't know if this
• 1:11:19
  is the right thing to like be standing behind, to give to give that
• 1:11:24
  kind of screen time. You know, Yeah, totally, no, No,
• 1:11:27
  I totally I agree. I just what I'm what I think though,
• 1:11:31
  is like in the moment, like it's like hey, man, like we're
• 1:11:35
  here, you and I are here, We're we're we're figuring this out right
• 1:11:41
  now, you know, rather than like earlier which was like, hey,
• 1:11:45
  dude, like this is I get it, this is a is this moment?
• 1:11:53
  Do you want some but yeah, yeah, but I mean like there's
• 1:11:56
  no doubt even Bruce Willis would probably like himself, would probably feel this way,
• 1:12:00
  you know what I mean? Yeah, Like, yeah, I think
• 1:12:04
  that's a way that a lot of Americans, a lot of white Americans felt
• 1:12:09
  in this time. Yeah. I think there there's a lot of like,
• 1:12:13
  you know, I think a lot of the kind of like story about racism
• 1:12:21
  in America is driven by just like the fragility of white people who can't like
• 1:12:28
  deal with feeling like they're a part of something that is a bad like they're
• 1:12:31
  the bad. Yeah, totally. I mean, but I mean, like
• 1:12:36
  the thing is, like, what's what's interesting and where I see yeah where
• 1:12:43
  where? Yeah? Where I see things like you know, specifically white fragility
• 1:12:51
  as being weaponized in the future. Is that, like you can the assumption
• 1:12:57
  is that white people are somehow more or fragile than anybody else. I mean,
• 1:13:00
  they're just as fragile as anybody else, right, So it's like it
• 1:13:03
  hurts everybody to like everybody's feelings to ever be a part of some bad group.
• 1:13:10
  I mean we have that complex too. Being serves right. It's like
• 1:13:13
  nobody ever wants to admit about see its ever, especially nationalists, right,
• 1:13:17
  They're just like, no, it didn't happen. It didn't happen. You
• 1:13:19
  know, it's it feels bad. It did happen, but many bad things
• 1:13:23
  happen to us, or or it did it didn't. It did happen,
• 1:13:27
  but it wasn't as bad. It's like it's like stuff like that's not worse
• 1:13:30
  than anything that was done to us exactly exactly right. So it's like it's
• 1:13:34
  it's hard because of the fact that it's like taking taking culpability is very difficult.
• 1:13:41
  It's not like like Germans did it, but they lost a war,
• 1:13:45
  you know. Yeah, you have to be like ultra hum humbled in order
• 1:13:48
  for it to be yeah, and that's well yeah, And I mean not
• 1:13:55
  a lot of people are willing to have that kind of conversation intellectually or reckon
• 1:14:00
  with that on a like spiritual basis. And there's and there's no way there
• 1:14:05
  is. Something really bad would have to happen to America for that to exist.
• 1:14:10
  Well, a race war, I think would have to happen. Well,
• 1:14:13
  a race war did happen. But I think that it would another one,
• 1:14:15
  would that the one that that all the like white nationalists have been calling
• 1:14:18
  about and saying about for the last forty years. Maybe I think that's what
• 1:14:23
  would have to happen in order for America to truly have like a reckoning with
• 1:14:28
  like with the with with with the project of white supremacy in America. Yeah,
• 1:14:33
  I think I think something worse than that would have to happen. Like,
• 1:14:39
  I understand what you're saying, but I'm thinking, like, like,
• 1:14:43
  I don't know what's worse than that, like well, like a specific specified
• 1:14:46
  genocide. I mean, I would think that would be a part of something
• 1:14:49
  like that. A race war. I think that would like happen. I
• 1:14:53
  guess when I'm thinking about it. When I'm thinking about it, I'm I'm
• 1:14:55
  still thinking back to but it would be totally different than than the Civil War
• 1:15:00
  in the States. Yeah, probably probably something. But like anyway, the
• 1:15:03
  point is is that when when you get to a I mean, they're they're
• 1:15:09
  just never going to get to that. I just have a huge doubt that
• 1:15:11
  it's going to get to that. Yeah, it's not in anybody's interests for
• 1:15:15
  that to happen. Like it would just like destabilize literally everything. Yeah,
• 1:15:21
  but you know, like I think that that's a demon that America will continue
• 1:15:27
  to wrestle with until for really really long time. And I don't know if
• 1:15:31
  there's any exercising it. I don't know if there's any like absolvation of it.
• 1:15:36
  I mean it depends on what you're like what obsolvation means, right,
• 1:15:42
  Like I just mean that like if there's like a far enough removedness and there
• 1:15:45
  there's like a real, real, true, intellectually honest acceptance of a thing
• 1:15:55
  on on a cultural level. Yeah, that's what I'm saying that that's probably
• 1:16:00
  gonna happen. Yeah, that's that's unless something like really really terrible. That's
• 1:16:02
  what I mean. So I think problems will persist in whatever form, and
• 1:16:05
  probably EBB and flow from how bad and good did they get? Yeah for
• 1:16:10
  sure, like what part of the scale they're on or whatever. But it's
• 1:16:14
  like also slow moving, right, like how do you you can't you know?
• 1:16:17
  Like this is how they figured it out. They filled the first the
• 1:16:21
  three gallon with two gallons and then emptied five gallons. How did they know
• 1:16:27
  it was two gallons? That I don't know? Oh, I know,
• 1:16:32
  okay, they filled the five gallon, they filled the three with the five,
• 1:16:40
  and then they had two left over right in the thing, so they
• 1:16:45
  emptied the yeah yeah, yeah, they emptied the yeah yeah, three gallon,
• 1:16:53
  but the two gallons filled the five gallon with five and then empty.
• 1:16:57
  Yeah, okay, okay, they get it. They win. And also,
• 1:17:02
  did you notice Simon's hair like slightly different throughout the movie, like like
• 1:17:09
  more blonde sometimes yeah, totally totally, Like listen, jerk off, I'm
• 1:17:15
  having a real bad day. I'm sick of you fucking shit temper John.
• 1:17:25
  Now, where's the school bomb? And he doesn't give it to him?
• 1:17:28
  Well, no, he gives him a clue. He's like, what's forty?
• 1:17:30
  What's oh yeah, yeah twenty one, Like it's just half of it,
• 1:17:36
  oh man. And then the guy, the tall guy's name is Targo.
• 1:17:42
  Targo. He the like such a good name, he's so good man,
• 1:17:45
  relaxed Targo. I love that he that Targo is the guy with the
• 1:17:49
  sense though, he's like, dude, like we're behind, Like what do
• 1:17:53
  you keep sucking with this dude? Just like killing Well, there's a guy
• 1:17:56
  that's similar to the dynamic that Hans Gruber has with one of his bad guy
• 1:18:00
  what's the guy's name again, Frank or something or like in the first one.
• 1:18:03
  Yeah, like there he's like, come on, dude, what are
• 1:18:08
  you doing? Like it's it's his own hubrist that brings him down, which
• 1:18:12
  is what he brought his brother brothers, brothers brothers. Yeah, they get
• 1:18:18
  the tickets for the was it Yankee Stadium? Yeah? Yeah, and he's
• 1:18:24
  like, okay, what's and Bruce was saying, what's twenty one nine is
• 1:18:29
  forty two? Yeah? That was so funny. Uh. And then they're
• 1:18:38
  trying to figure out like what twenty one twenty two means? Yeah? Hillary
• 1:18:45
  Clinton also dolls off his mess. Very bad. What's going on in New
• 1:18:49
  York? Very bad? That John McLean doing what cops should do. I
• 1:18:57
  mean, yeah, I am your loan no President. If I were there,
• 1:19:00
  if I weren't in Florida now, I'd be in New York, I'd
• 1:19:03
  be doing what McLean is doing. But he's doing an okay job, much
• 1:19:10
  better than Ron des sanctimonious with Our Boys in Blue, So they split up.
• 1:19:19
  I mean, this movie is very with Our Boys in Blue. Yeah,
• 1:19:23
  this is very thin blue line. They steal two boys bikes. Oh
• 1:19:30
  yeah, this like cocky in New York. Kid, Yeah, he did
• 1:19:34
  a really good job. He's the one who gives him the idea about the
• 1:19:39
  police not being anywhere because he stopped. He pulls him over because he sees
• 1:19:45
  that he's stolen something from a store, and he's like, you're gonna go
• 1:19:48
  to Juvie for a butterfinger And he's like this costan, he's got such annoying
• 1:19:58
  nineties came. Yeah, like kid, you do what does he say?
• 1:20:00
  And he's like, what does he saying? So annoying? He's like,
• 1:20:04
  he says, you want to go to job. Look around you, all
• 1:20:09
  cops are into something. He's like the most New York kids, it's Christmas.
• 1:20:14
  You steal the you could steal city Hall. And then yeah, and
• 1:20:17
  then Bruce has his like gentleized moment where he realizes, oh yeah, what's
• 1:20:24
  around him not gentleize. Yeah, he's got gentleized. He totally does gentalize
• 1:20:30
  in this part. Dude. Yeah, and then and then he but then
• 1:20:32
  he almost gets hit by one of the trucks and he realizes then too that
• 1:20:38
  it's like oh man like and then he sees that the Federal Reserve is there,
• 1:20:42
  and that's where the bomb blew up under that that area. While all
• 1:20:46
  the cops are gone, he goes to Hans Groupers's cops and he's like he
• 1:20:54
  sees them and he's like, but Glen, what do you want me to
• 1:20:57
  do with this bomb? He's like, there's cops over there. Good guy
• 1:21:02
  with the gun with lane, Oh, totally, good guy with the gun
• 1:21:08
  dude. And Hans Grewber talking to this one flag cop, mister Christophanes newgs
• 1:21:14
  here, fondest news here, fondest news here, and what's his name?
• 1:21:18
  Samuel L. Jackson coming up to him and he's like, the black one
• 1:21:21
  is coming to me. This is so much of it is like, oh
• 1:21:26
  god, dude. I mean it's funny though, because like the nineties was
• 1:21:32
  like this though. Yeah, like the cinema and the like stuff of the
• 1:21:39
  time was informing the car was telling also the culture how if not how to
• 1:21:45
  feel about it, how certain people feel about it. Yeah, for sure,
• 1:21:49
  it's very like this is very like woke of them in this time.
• 1:21:55
  I think so too. I think so too. It showed, it showed
• 1:21:59
  a situation in a very realistic way, and it gave Samuel L. Jackson
• 1:22:02
  like he's this co lead in this movie. Oh yeah, such a bold
• 1:22:09
  move in a movie that like he's about John McClain. They had to They
• 1:22:14
  had to do it because of a few things. Save American exceptionalism too,
• 1:22:17
  of course, but also because of you save American exceptionalism, you have to
• 1:22:21
  add a black eye. Dude. You can't just be the white guy.
• 1:22:24
  Yeah, of course, that's how you save capitalism too. The reality is
• 1:22:29
  is that John McClean is the epitome of I don't see color in this movie.
• 1:22:33
  Oh yeah, and that that was the most yeah, and that was
• 1:22:39
  the most pro at the time take at the time. Yeah, totally.
• 1:22:43
  And I love this cop who's like so nice to to Samuel Jackson where he's
• 1:22:48
  like, oh, I see, I'll take care of that, you know,
• 1:22:51
  trying to be like gentle. But also I love these moments where like
• 1:22:56
  these Fluga cops like they kind of don't know how to act, how to
• 1:23:00
  act, Yeah totally, so they like kind of like are trying to be
• 1:23:03
  like formal in a way that they're not, like they don't know the protocol
• 1:23:08
  about. But then what's hilarious is when because the Samuel Jackson doesn't want to
• 1:23:14
  take the bomb, but John McClane is like, but some kid might find
• 1:23:16
  it, and he's like, yeah, you're right, some kid might find
• 1:23:18
  it. And then later on when he gives it to the cops, Yeah,
• 1:23:21
  totally. When he gives it to the cops, and the cops the
• 1:23:25
  other flu the cop doesn't want to sit with the bomb, and he's like,
• 1:23:30
  put it in the back. What if a kid finds it? Copy?
• 1:23:33
  But also German? Yeah, but also what but also like he just
• 1:23:41
  is murdering a bunch of people too, Like, I mean people died,
• 1:23:45
  oh man, How do they like recruit this many Germans? Like these guy's
• 1:23:51
  got like a paramilitary group. Yeah, totally, oh man. And then
• 1:23:58
  a Bruce goes in casual to try and sneak into the Federal Reserve U and
• 1:24:04
  he sees the cop who stole the badge from the goober from earlier and all
• 1:24:13
  the fucking tall German police surrounding him in the elevator that they go down,
• 1:24:18
  And I love this scene where he realizes the badge number is from his life,
• 1:24:26
  six six sixty nine ninety one. Yeah, and he's like, hey,
• 1:24:32
  I'm I'm like always like, hey, honey, what kind of numbers
• 1:24:36
  are you? Plan or whatever on the lotto and she goes, I got
• 1:24:43
  my ticket right here. Yeah, they're all quite tall, and he's like,
• 1:24:45
  I got my ticket right here, and he shoots one of them and
• 1:24:48
  like is like, man, this scene where he shoots all of them,
• 1:24:54
  and like, can I just say some of the lines that they were giving
• 1:24:58
  such funny Euro lines? Oh it's raining later like dogs and cats. I
• 1:25:04
  didn't know that we had to take the lift, Like, yeah, totally,
• 1:25:09
  just making so Euro it was so funny, dude. Yeah, and
• 1:25:13
  then talk about Euro later, dude, we get a Hugo. Oh,
• 1:25:16
  totally, totally. We'll get to Hugo and you they have a stop,
• 1:25:20
  they have a start classic Ugo And what's awesome is man when he shoots that
• 1:25:29
  last guy and the blood just fucking blood start, blood start, Which that
• 1:25:32
  was the scene I thought you meant was referring to him getting set. Yeah,
• 1:25:36
  yeah, yeah, like losing his hearing reference. Oh man, it's
• 1:25:43
  us. Let's just make your pantheon guy, Samuel, have you noticed his
• 1:25:46
  his amazing arm acting when he when he's like because he's like a regular guy
• 1:25:54
  who like has probably like been in fights before, but probably has never been
• 1:25:59
  like sheen like somebody's like bullets in the face. Yeah, and and just
• 1:26:04
  like him like reacting to like bloody stuff and being like I kind of don't
• 1:26:11
  want to touch this is amazing. Oh yeah, him being sort of like
• 1:26:14
  grossed out in certain seas. He had like such a developed character, like
• 1:26:17
  it was just like really embodied. That's why I felt like this always just
• 1:26:21
  was Samuel Jackson, Like it felt like he was playing himself in the movie
• 1:26:26
  all the way. But yeah, dude, And when Bruce casually drops the
• 1:26:31
  bar of gold on the ground and picks it up and he's trying to save
• 1:26:38
  it and he's like carrying it like it's so heavy ugo, which is amazing.
• 1:26:46
  It was so nice to see the Hugo in the movie. Like I
• 1:26:49
  wanted to tell the story about how like our uncle souped up an old Hugo
• 1:26:55
  so that like if you touch the gas very gently and just went just it
• 1:27:00
  was built for stability, enough speed, it was built for a Yeah.
• 1:27:05
  Yeah, it wasn't good, It's true. And they have a stop,
• 1:27:11
  they have a start. Those those fucking cars they could last they literally forever.
• 1:27:16
  They were like the Nokia Phone of cars. Dude. I love hugoes.
• 1:27:20
  I still see you goes when we go to Serbia. There's still so
• 1:27:24
  many. Yeah, they are very good cars. There was a car from
• 1:27:29
  the former Yugoslavia. It was manufactured in the former Yugoslavia. They were very
• 1:27:32
  cheap and yeah, there's just very good. They're very good quality. They
• 1:27:36
  could be repaired easily, you know, like there's like the old Yugo window
• 1:27:40
  when the when the window opening thing breaks, you have to put two screwdrivers
• 1:27:45
  on either side to hold the window up in place. Put the screw drivers
• 1:27:50
  in the holes. Yeah, so they're trying to figure out the president.
• 1:27:57
  The four president, Yeah, forties to the third would be Hillary Clintlington of
• 1:28:03
  course, is what they mentioned. And they also mentioned Dull Drum for this
• 1:28:08
  movie too. This movie had a lot of it. There was the first
• 1:28:12
  fight between us. They mentioned both of us as president totally totally, but
• 1:28:16
  this movie predicted it. I love when they steal. They end up stealing
• 1:28:20
  the because they see a guy with a car phone. So they end up
• 1:28:25
  stealing his car and they drive and sevenel all goes, hey, who's the
• 1:28:31
  twenty first president? Fuck you or go fuck yourselves? Stole his car?
• 1:28:40
  Though they ask the guy who twenty first president was Yeah, man, where
• 1:28:50
  were we? They're driving to try and find where where do they end up
• 1:28:59
  going? Where did they end up going? After this? Show? Me?
• 1:29:18
  Sorry, it's a little don't they go? Don't they start chasing the
• 1:29:25
  the these trucks, Don't they start chasing the isn't it? Well? Yeah,
• 1:29:30
  they're trying to find out where, where, which peer they're going to,
• 1:29:34
  and he's given them. Uh, they're trying to follow the where the
• 1:29:39
  trucks are going, and the rest of the time they're trying to figure out
• 1:29:44
  what the president is because that'll give them the answer to which school the bomb
• 1:29:49
  is, right, and then Simon does an amazing fucking trick where he tells
• 1:29:56
  that he calls into a radio station and arts telling them for the police.
• 1:30:01
  Yeah, and there's a big bomb in a school and everybody starts freaking out
• 1:30:06
  so that they try and create more chaos, which is fucking awesome, great
• 1:30:11
  idea. There's a bomb in the studio, great episode of what was that
• 1:30:18
  episode in that was the Muppet Show? Right? Yeah, yeah, I'm
• 1:30:24
  so glad you got that deep cut outrageous. Yeah, there's of course there's
• 1:30:30
  in the studio that was also the doo doo doo doo when I'm gonna doo
• 1:30:33
  doo doo doo exactly. Yeah, well sand Sandy good old Sandy Cortez.
• 1:30:39
  Yeah, yes, so where were we? Yeah, Bruce, I was
• 1:30:45
  gonna say, Bruce McLean. Bruce McLean grabs a truck and a trucker another
• 1:30:50
  Danny mulroon, who's great. Well, you know who it is. That's
• 1:30:55
  Gibbons. That is Gibbons. That is given. It's a meaty me because
• 1:31:00
  he actually reveals who the twenty first president was, and that's Chester A Arthur.
• 1:31:04
  Hold on a minute, Jerry, let me get that hat. So
• 1:31:08
  he takes Jerry's hat and gets another boxy shirt to put on so that he
• 1:31:13
  can shoot these flags. So like he shoots them, and then like the
• 1:31:18
  guy who played Gibbons and in tret Or two is like it's like those guys
• 1:31:25
  dead, and he's like, yeah, I killed them. Like this is
• 1:31:30
  the most callous Bruce that I've seen, Like because I'm like, I know
• 1:31:35
  he doesn't care about life if someone chooses like a bad thing, but like
• 1:31:41
  it's pretty callous for another guy to see murder and to just be like,
• 1:31:45
  yeah, they got what they deserved. Dude, Yeah, totally, I
• 1:31:49
  killed him. That would scare me if I was. That would be like
• 1:31:53
  weirdly shows theopathic. Yeah, oh dude, that you killed someone. Yeah,
• 1:31:59
  totally, yes, Jerry, I'm afraid he is a psychopath. Bruce.
• 1:32:06
  I mean, at this point, wouldn't you be a psychopath as well?
• 1:32:09
  Of course? Yeah? Yeah, exactly, tell him to find out
• 1:32:13
  the twenty first president was Chester A. Arthur knows well, it's it's set
• 1:32:20
  up too, because he knows all about New York, right, because he's
• 1:32:23
  all talking about the Tons, right, and he's like, I don't know
• 1:32:30
  that, Jerry, take care of yourself. What about these dead guys?
• 1:32:33
  What should I do about them? Yeah? So Samuel gets to Yankee Stadium
• 1:32:41
  and yeah, and there's a tiny baseball uh stadium that he picks up,
• 1:32:48
  and the guys like, no, there aren't two of them, so he
• 1:32:53
  wants to he has to follow them. Weird. It's a little weird,
• 1:32:57
  but it gives us a reason to to like, Okay, like Simon,
• 1:33:00
  Simon is pretty such an elaborate plan, but I mean, think about it's
• 1:33:04
  so think about think about the elements. Okay, First of all, he
• 1:33:10
  had to he had to like find somehow find in the midst of doing all
• 1:33:15
  of this other planning, somehow he had to find like fucking like two thousand
• 1:33:20
  liters of pancake syrup to put in a fake explosion. Not just the bake
• 1:33:26
  explosion, but I have like a realistically enough booby trap explosion. I get
• 1:33:31
  it. Where did he get that? Like it's like a tub, a
• 1:33:34
  big plastic tub. But that's like pa because like also you're like you're either
• 1:33:41
  paying these guys who are contractors now or you're telling them. Dude, there's
• 1:33:46
  one hundred and forty billion dollars worth of gold. I'm gonna split. What's
• 1:33:51
  like take from the pancakes syrup guy? What is that? What is that
• 1:33:56
  guy making? Yeah? Exactly, I can't. Does you have to spend
• 1:34:00
  money to make money? Right? You have to spend money and make money.
• 1:34:02
  Simon knows that better than anyone. Dude, He's starting his own country.
• 1:34:06
  That's why he's got more money than Kentucky. Yeah, yeah, totally.
• 1:34:15
  And then they're they're all people are starting to freak out about their kids,
• 1:34:19
  about their kids of course, of course I like Jimmy Hendrix, of
• 1:34:24
  course. And but they find out that Chester a. Arthur is the school.
• 1:34:29
  Yeah, and then they're able to then zero in on them exactly exactly,
• 1:34:32
  and then Danny malroon Bald's bomb destroyer, Danny Malron he is diffusing the
• 1:34:40
  bomb and everybody gets out, but Samuel L. Jackson's nephews with other kids,
• 1:34:45
  Yeah, and they like go and they get locked in a room because
• 1:34:48
  they're like being skeptical about the situation. They're like, what's going on here?
• 1:34:53
  Like there's like something weird is going So it shows that they're like smart,
• 1:34:57
  but they inadvertently like make the in the moment their instincts are correct and
• 1:35:02
  then like which is kind of cool because it shows how like they're also there.
• 1:35:06
  It's because they're Samuel J. Yeah, they're like a very taught taught
• 1:35:11
  early critical thinking. But they make a mistake. And then what's his name,
• 1:35:15
  Uh, Simon is like trying to contact Niels and he's like, Niels
• 1:35:20
  is dead happy about it, but I love I love murderers. Yeah,
• 1:35:30
  some could say happy blow job rush man, dude, but clean the truck
• 1:35:40
  you're driving has thirteen billion dollars in it. I wonder if a deal would
• 1:35:44
  be out of the question. Yeah, I got a deal for you call
• 1:35:48
  everyone the rock your head. No, I'll drive this truck up your ass.
• 1:35:51
  Homophobia rus Oh dude, he has got a cover I mean to the
• 1:35:59
  clearly queerly codd I mean he's got dyed hair, dude, of course,
• 1:36:03
  wearing purple outfits. Yeah, he's he's very slender in a particular kind of
• 1:36:10
  way. Oh yeah, totally, totally. And then Targo is like,
• 1:36:14
  I told you to put it, put an end to him or whatever.
• 1:36:18
  And then he's like Tago, Tago, come here, and he gives him
• 1:36:21
  the bomb and he's like, we're gonna blow up the damn which is such
• 1:36:25
  a good idea. It's such a good way of being like, well whatever,
• 1:36:28
  seeing that, Bob, Yeah, it shows that like Simon Grooms kind
• 1:36:31
  of flying by the seat of his pants as well. I love a little
• 1:36:34
  bit improvising. Yeah, totally, Like like Bruce, dude, he's just
• 1:36:39
  really the plan was so good that everything, you know, there's a lot
• 1:36:43
  of variation room in the plan. Oh totally. Yeah. And then they
• 1:36:46
  find the bald Danny mulroon uh finds out that the fridge has the bomb in
• 1:36:54
  it. Oh yeah, cut the hinges off. Oh yeah, it's a
• 1:37:00
  lot of like good lines. It's like he sees that the door is not
• 1:37:03
  rigged. He's very much allowed to be an expert in this movie. Yeah,
• 1:37:06
  totally. Everybody feels like they're like what. What was interesting about the
• 1:37:12
  last one is that the way they made Bruce willis competent is by making everybody
• 1:37:18
  else less competent or evil, whereas in this one, everybody's competent and everybody's
• 1:37:27
  helping out and they're all working together to solve like a massive problem. Oh
• 1:37:30
  man, and then the damn breaks and Bruce fucking does that giant spin around
• 1:37:35
  in the truck. So it's so awesome where he and he sees the like
• 1:37:41
  careening oh cgi water, the balloon physics water and then like a drawn Bruce
• 1:37:48
  dude, I loved that drawn the fact like it's kind of like weirdly faded,
• 1:37:55
  but it looks so good. It looks cool. Yeah totally, But
• 1:37:58
  I first they still did things like this, But how did this? How
• 1:38:00
  did they do that? It's split, is it? No, it's like
• 1:38:05
  layers of different things. I don't know. I wouldn't know. Jeffer Kayes
• 1:38:10
  could talk about it. It's a really cool look. It is very like
• 1:38:15
  he climbs up and then it grabs the great Oh yeah, totally and gets
• 1:38:19
  shot out and Zoo sees him as he's driving by, and then they get
• 1:38:26
  together again, totally by habitstance. But I was like, I don't care,
• 1:38:29
  it's awesome, didn't Yeah, it's so magical at this point, it's
• 1:38:33
  all magic. Oh it's magic man the interview, never bo stuff. So
• 1:38:47
  it's magic, you know, you know, well it's not bar okay.
• 1:39:01
  So they they get picked up with each other. The kids are getting corralled
• 1:39:08
  to either we're gonna leave or we're gonna find out what this code for this
• 1:39:13
  bomb is. They're waiting to get the code from McClean, yeah, but
• 1:39:17
  he's not getting back to them, and they decide they're going to run.
• 1:39:23
  And the Denny Malroun who's fixing the bomb, decides he's going to stay with
• 1:39:27
  the bomb, which is sick. It's a good wants to sacrifice. He
• 1:39:30
  wants to sacrifice himself. He wants to like figure out how to you know,
• 1:39:35
  uh, disarm the bomb in the best way. McLean and Zeus are
• 1:39:44
  all they're they're getting shot at as they're driving, uh, and they get
• 1:39:50
  the truck that's what some flugaugas and they kill him. Uh, and then
• 1:39:56
  they kill the flags. And I love this scene because Samuel l is not
• 1:40:01
  as dead eyed as John McClane at this point where he's like, go check
• 1:40:04
  the glove compartment and he sees the dead body and he's like, I don't
• 1:40:08
  I'm not going to do that. And then he figures out what the quarters
• 1:40:12
  are that they have. All of them have quarters. They all have like
• 1:40:15
  a little bundle. Yeah, and it's to pay the toll on the bridge.
• 1:40:17
  That's how they figure out how to get where to get to the bridge.
• 1:40:21
  The bridge is out uh. And then Samuel they finally get to the
• 1:40:27
  bridge where like the all the containers have been taken uh and oh man he
• 1:40:33
  sees Samuel all is like, should be jump and it's like no, that's
• 1:40:40
  a terrible idea. So they rag a police thing. Well yeah. From
• 1:40:44
  from there they try the tooth with this like uh, like the truck has
• 1:40:48
  the hook on. It has a hooky thing and they like lower this like
• 1:40:54
  metal. Uh. It's kind of like a I don't know what it's.
• 1:40:58
  It's oh, it's four pulling people out of dishes and stuf. Yeah.
• 1:41:00
  Yeah, but like they lower it and they happens to hook onto the boat
• 1:41:05
  and then they like climb onto it. But it's like pulling the rope out.
• 1:41:11
  Yeah, it's pulling the rope out and the truck out, and then
• 1:41:15
  it like rips the truck out and it starts falling. They go and it's
• 1:41:19
  it slices one of the guys. Oh man, the metal rope slices one
• 1:41:24
  of the guy and they kind of mentioned they're like, oh no, someone
• 1:41:27
  could get sliced totally. And then they fall and I'm glad you convinced me
• 1:41:31
  not to jomp. Yeah, was he being sarcastic. It's still better than
• 1:41:35
  if they had he he didn't meant it. Yeah, he meant it.
• 1:41:39
  He was like, I'm glad you convinced me not to jump man. Samuel
• 1:41:44
  Jackson. How many movies did we mention? How many movies they've been in
• 1:41:47
  together? How many? Like five? Five? Yeah, they were in
• 1:41:54
  this pulp fiction Unbreakable and the sequel tone Breakable, Glass, Glass or Glass.
• 1:42:02
  You know. I think that it's really cool that we're gonna basically that
• 1:42:09
  we've done basically a season mini din a mini dive of Samuel Jackson, who's
• 1:42:15
  an amazing actor, amazing good in everything tends always but well, we'll get
• 1:42:21
  to ratings of Samuel El's for sure. And then Tar Targo get sees sees
• 1:42:30
  what's it called that the gold isn't in the tankers, that he swapped them
• 1:42:36
  out somehow. Okay, so this is the line that I wanted to play.
• 1:42:41
  I I recorded an impression of Bruce that I did four k's. It's
• 1:42:45
  not very good, but I just wanted to play you this line because Bruce
• 1:42:48
  says this the only thing it's yeah, go very good girl, Yeah it
• 1:43:00
  is. It was uh. And then Samuel All is given a gun and
• 1:43:08
  he doesn't know how to use it, so Bruce like hawks it for him,
• 1:43:12
  and then they have a moment of like, you think I know how
• 1:43:15
  to use a gun because I'm black, and it's like and and Bruce is
• 1:43:18
  kind of like hurt that he thinks that he assumed this, and then he
• 1:43:24
  like actually doesn't tell him how to use the gun. No, he doesn't,
• 1:43:28
  which is which ends up him, Yeah, it could hurt his campaign.
• 1:43:36
  He gets up, tells people to freeze uh and wh where Oh,
• 1:43:44
  sorry, they're on a Jackson. Samuel Jackson goes to the uh. What
• 1:43:49
  is the head of a boat called like the bridge, the bridge, the
• 1:43:56
  uh? And he aims the gun and he's like, I don't fucking move
• 1:44:00
  Simon, Simon, yeah. And he's like, oh the Samaritan, mister
• 1:44:04
  policeman. Yeah, exactly, yeah, call in the code. Blow blow
• 1:44:12
  your ass off. And then he can't click the gun because the safety is
• 1:44:16
  on and he's so casually eating an egg and he shoots him in the leg.
• 1:44:21
  He takes the gun from him and he's like, you can't use it
• 1:44:25
  without the same Yeah. And this is where Floppy Bruce comes in with crazy
• 1:44:30
  eyes. He's constantly like, loloppy arm Bruce with crazy dude. But I'm
• 1:44:35
  really glad that you made the parallel with Samuel Old Jackson's crazy eyes. Yeah.
• 1:44:43
  He does a lot of like wide and like expressing things with his eyes
• 1:44:48
  so beautifully emphasizing things like lines. You know. Yeah, it's great,
• 1:44:56
  yeah, amazing, amazing stuff. All the kids start running because we don't
• 1:44:59
  get the code in time. Uh, and Targo gets his code an obscure
• 1:45:05
  foreign language also at great Handial Jackson also another movie that Bruce Willis was in,
• 1:45:12
  So that's five whoa Loaded Weapons, Loaded Weapons we should talk about on
• 1:45:17
  Boner show. Dude, I would love to do. We get to talk
• 1:45:25
  about Charlie Sheen to pick off the fucking phone. I mean, Charlie the
• 1:45:29
  fucking phone. Yeah, he's in that too. There's so many cameos.
• 1:45:35
  Bruce is in it, yeah rated x oh no no not in that.
• 1:45:40
  No. No, Charlie Sheen is in loaded weapon. That's what I meant,
• 1:45:44
  yeah, which is obvious. Yeah. Anyway, Targo fucking is throwing
• 1:45:50
  Bruce around like like, uh, like a rag doll. It's crazy,
• 1:45:55
  it's so weird. It looks so ballooned physiness. That's so balloon phys but
• 1:46:00
  it's real. It's also real balloon physics. Yeah. And then he stabs
• 1:46:06
  Targo in the leg. Uh and it's actually like a thing that that's like
• 1:46:13
  hooked onto another thing and he pulls the trigger and it like slams him away.
• 1:46:17
  But all the kids run out and as uh, Samuel L's nephews are
• 1:46:26
  still in there. Uh, and fucking Graham Green runs in as Targo is
• 1:46:31
  getting beaten by Bruce, and he's like, yeah, did you ever watch
• 1:46:34
  Adam's family? There's a motherfucker on their name, Lurch. Yeah, totally
• 1:46:41
  and he is very lurchy. Bruce is so good, yeah, so good
• 1:46:45
  at this movie. He is. Graham Green goes to save the kids.
• 1:46:49
  He's got the keys, and then the abort code goes off and it's actually
• 1:46:55
  just pa syrup. It's pancakes syrup for syrup sorrup sirrup. Yeah, that's
• 1:47:03
  how they say it an upstate York. They say Syracuse and syrup syrup,
• 1:47:09
  not Syracuse syracus. Yeah. Yeah, Graham Green gets his fucking hero moment
• 1:47:15
  and they run to the to the roof because they think they could jump across,
• 1:47:18
  but they can't. Man, I always found the moment when the woman
• 1:47:23
  hugs the children to be kind of like a weird, like a nice but
• 1:47:28
  weird moment because she's just like she doesn't know them, like, but she
• 1:47:31
  hugs them with so much love and care. Well, I think she's gonna
• 1:47:34
  die. It's like she's like holding like onto life because they like that the
• 1:47:40
  bomb is going to explain. Yeah exactly, yeah, I know, I
• 1:47:43
  just I and I got that. I got that for sure, but it
• 1:47:45
  was also like interesting choice, interesting choice, agreed, agreed. Oh man,
• 1:47:53
  and then he's like there was no bomb, was there. I'm a
• 1:47:57
  soldier, not a monster. The real bomb is on this ship where you
• 1:48:02
  are, and I'm gonna kill you. Uh yeah, not a monster,
• 1:48:09
  yeah for sure, But it's okay to kill kill an adult guy. Yeah
• 1:48:14
  of course. Oh god, I love this country. You know your brother
• 1:48:18
  was an asshole. It was he was, you know, he really was.
• 1:48:25
  It was. Yeah you didn't even like your brother. You got his
• 1:48:28
  number? Yeah, ah man, And I love when they pick him up
• 1:48:32
  and they're like careful, careful, They're like being treating him nicely. But
• 1:48:38
  yeah, it's treating McLane when he because his arm is all bendy, so
• 1:48:44
  they like pick him up and he's like careful, and then they leave the
• 1:48:48
  radio on with the recorded message. So many of these things would have to
• 1:48:51
  go so right for this to like happen. Yeah, it's an insane plan.
• 1:49:00
  So they tie him up on the bombs themselves, and I love this
• 1:49:03
  because it's them figuring out how to how to like escape from this situation.
• 1:49:13
  And Sam, well, I was like, I didn't even know your brother,
• 1:49:17
  which is hilarious. Yeah, exactly, called this collateral damage. No
• 1:49:25
  no code, no riddles, no tricks. And then he goes, hey,
• 1:49:29
  do you have an aspirin and a bad headache all day. And then
• 1:49:31
  he gives him, Yeah, he gives him one more aspirin. Uh,
• 1:49:35
  keep the bottle, and then he starts laughing or whatever, and then he
• 1:49:40
  has, oh man, Targo. They go up and they see Targo and
• 1:49:45
  he's like, he tricked us. He doesn't actually have the gold, and
• 1:49:49
  then the severe woman fucking shoots him so many times while lovingly looking at Simon,
• 1:49:57
  and Simon also lovingly looks back. Yeah, it's real tender murder.
• 1:50:05
  Yeah, totally, totally. And Samuel All is so mad and he's like,
• 1:50:12
  you're a locksmith, right, and he gives him a little pin,
• 1:50:16
  and obviously he takes it as a racial thing again because he's like, what
• 1:50:20
  do you think I pick locks because I'm black? Maybe you're right, maybe
• 1:50:27
  this isn't a wig. It feels like a wig. I think it is
• 1:50:30
  a wig. I don't think. So it's pretty thin, like it's pretty
• 1:50:33
  realistically thin. I just think they're filling in the back. So it's not
• 1:50:36
  like true the ranger, you know, so the ring shape isn't happening,
• 1:50:41
  Yeah for sure, Because later on it's wet and it's kind of down and
• 1:50:45
  it's yeah, totally, totally, but yeah, then they get they talk
• 1:50:51
  about how mcclan didn't call his wife back out of pride and principle and they
• 1:50:58
  haven't spoken in a year, like outrageous, didn't check on your kids in
• 1:51:01
  a year because like we didn't want to call your wife back. What,
• 1:51:06
  Yeah, I mean he's a bad father, clearly, Clearly you threw your
• 1:51:12
  marriage away for a fucking stupid you want to pick up a phone call like,
• 1:51:16
  yeah, you've never met her, she's very stubborn. And then he
• 1:51:25
  gets unlocked. He unlocks him and he dropped, he drops the thing and
• 1:51:28
  then man, he figures out to use the bomb thing that he shows show
• 1:51:32
  the Danny Malroon showed him how how like the bomb blows up. But then
• 1:51:39
  Samuel is like just go and he's like, no, I can't. Just
• 1:51:43
  got your Yeah for sure, but I love this scene because Samuel also perfectly
• 1:51:48
  played getting burnt and scalded. But can it totally? I agree, But
• 1:51:54
  can I just mention one thing before you say that, Yeah, do you
• 1:51:58
  think do you think at the moment when uh, John mcclan's irishness is referred
• 1:52:06
  to, it's a way of kind of almost making him like you know,
• 1:52:12
  like it's like yeah, he's like like he's almost like black people were in
• 1:52:17
  this country, you know what I mean? Like I'll let Kay's handle that
• 1:52:20
  one. Uh no, do you know what I do you mean? In
• 1:52:25
  fact, I was gonna bring this up at the beginning to poke fun a
• 1:52:30
  little bit, because they do make they do obviously point it out this point.
• 1:52:35
  It's like it is like pointed. They're like this Irish cop. It's
• 1:52:40
  like whoa what, like why why refer to it? You know? Maybe
• 1:52:45
  I'm just reading into it too much speaking of Irish cop him being like I
• 1:52:50
  lost I lost him, and and the fact that that Samuel All was like,
• 1:52:58
  oh man, like I gotta like, you didn't lose you. You
• 1:53:02
  just give him a quarter or let him call his wife. And he goes
• 1:53:05
  to try and call his wife and she answers the phone, but he realizes
• 1:53:12
  because of the aspirin that he took that what's his name was actually still where
• 1:53:18
  was he? What was the aspirin thing? Again? He was still stealing
• 1:53:23
  the gold. I don't know, it said something I don't know right this
• 1:53:30
  this is what it says. I don't know. I never understood what I
• 1:53:33
  understood, Yeah, what was it? Anyway, he figures out that they're
• 1:53:39
  all the Simon is celebrating, spraying alcohol on everybody, opening champagne, and
• 1:53:46
  then he goes to have sex with his severe lady and it's awesome because it's
• 1:53:51
  so randomly passionate. It's very passionate. Well, they've just pulled off like
• 1:53:57
  a major. It's like they're giving each other eyes throughout. Yeah, it's
• 1:54:01
  very it's there's a lot of direct eye contact. And then they're flying to
• 1:54:06
  Nova Scotia of course, of course. But then John mcclin flies in with
• 1:54:13
  his helicopter friends with Samuel l two. It's just like putting this guy in
• 1:54:16
  danger again. Uh, and then they have like a helicopter fight mm hmm.
• 1:54:29
  Yeah, and then John McClean shoots. Uh, it's always John McTiernan
• 1:54:33
  is like doing movies where he's at the Canadian border for something. Yeah,
• 1:54:40
  totally, that's a it's a very strange choice. But yeah. Then then
• 1:54:47
  he shoots out a power line and it gets caught in the helicopter and then
• 1:54:53
  he's like, who cares let him cook. They're both both callous, they
• 1:54:58
  both don't care. I mean, after an tire day of this, after
• 1:55:00
  a tire day of murdering, yeah, murdering people, of course. This
• 1:55:04
  is this is how this would be. Let him cook, It's like Jesus
• 1:55:10
  Christ. And then he finally calls his wife. Yeah, and he saves
• 1:55:15
  his man. Yeah. Well we'll see him part four, dude. I
• 1:55:18
  mean, in part four we get the daughter is poor, but my daughter
• 1:55:24
  is important in part four four, sure, and then my son is important
• 1:55:27
  in part five. But okay, so is this where this movie ends?
• 1:55:30
  This is where this movie ends. It is long. It is long,
• 1:55:33
  and so it's tough to describe. Sometimes it was it was a little hard.
• 1:55:39
  It's convoluted because there's no point where there's no action. Like it's like,
• 1:55:44
  yeah, it's very no boring parts. Yeah, there's very no boring
• 1:55:46
  parts in this movie. Well, the boring parts are still actionally, right,
• 1:55:50
  yeah, exactly. So I mean, what would you rate this movie,
• 1:55:56
  dude? What would I rate? I'm gonna I'm gonna say right now,
• 1:56:00
  right now, ten out of ten Samuel L. Jackson's for both this
• 1:56:04
  movie and pulp fiction. And I'm going to say that it's ten out of
• 1:56:10
  ten. Bruces. This is this is We've got eyes Bruce. We've got
• 1:56:14
  my wife Bruce. We've got attitude Bruce. We've got quips Bruce. We've
• 1:56:18
  got body Bruce. We've got dirty shirt Bruce. We've got We've got like
• 1:56:23
  so many Pantheon bruces. There's so many, Like there's like such I acting.
• 1:56:27
  It's very John McCain. It's more John McClain than than John McCain.
• 1:56:31
  Yeah, and like he's he's more of a war hero that John McCain is.
• 1:56:38
  Yeah. Absolutely, And now what would you give it as a movie.
• 1:56:42
  As a movie, I'd give it nine nine nine out of ten.
• 1:56:45
  I was gonna say nine point five, but maybe I would even give it
• 1:56:48
  a tenant. I'd give it a ten. It's a good movie. That's
• 1:56:53
  a ten out of ten. It's at it's such a good movie. D
• 1:56:56
  It's such a time, much, so much fun watching it. I watched
• 1:56:59
  this movie a couple of month. I've recently watched it. I was so
• 1:57:01
  excited to watch it. I was like, oh to part three, just
• 1:57:04
  like, oh my god, Yeah, dude, And I would agree with
• 1:57:10
  the bruces. It's just it's it's it's kind of obvious how many bruces I
• 1:57:16
  would give. I agree with you entirely. In fact, it's so obvious
• 1:57:19
  that I would will shift focus to Samuel L. Jackson's because as much as
• 1:57:28
  we talked about him and his performance and the multitude of movies that we've seen
• 1:57:33
  him in, he shows up so nicely for this movie, and as much
• 1:57:44
  as the character is really well written, is very well written, but he
• 1:57:50
  feels like the only person could ever have played this without making it corny or
• 1:57:58
  like too much of one thing, too sad, too funny, too serious.
• 1:58:04
  It was the perfect it's funny you mentioned like Bruce Black people like Bruce,
• 1:58:12
  White people like Samuel L. Jackson. Yeah, totally, yeah,
• 1:58:15
  totally because you can talk. And it's like like also just to piggyback off
• 1:58:20
  of what you're saying, like to have him sort of be so critical to
• 1:58:26
  your face, like this is a movie for white people. It's not only
• 1:58:29
  for white people, but like you know what I mean, like very white.
• 1:58:30
  It's a very white movie, and like it's you know, but it
• 1:58:33
  does have it does have black representation throughout the movies for sure, but like
• 1:58:39
  this movie like decidedly is saying something about race. And that's what's that's what
• 1:58:44
  was really interesting because we could actually bring it up and talk about it.
• 1:58:47
  Yeah, because we know that the movie is saying something, oh totally that
• 1:58:50
  this is the best kind of uh movie that balances out it's it's choices very
• 1:58:59
  well. We'll when to make things work with the dialogue, to put the
• 1:59:06
  characters in a situation where they can bring this up in a very natural way.
• 1:59:12
  It doesn't hold any punches with man like saying it's saying the N word
• 1:59:19
  with hard r is so like it because shocks you. It does shock me,
• 1:59:27
  Kramer, it does, but man like like to have something play out
• 1:59:33
  in this kind of way, it's so fucking awesome. This movie is so
• 1:59:36
  fucking good. And also like when when I when I watched this as a
• 1:59:40
  kid, when you were talking about it earlier, talking about like that scene,
• 1:59:45
  it doesn't and and like him as a performer and also him as as
• 1:59:49
  the kind of character that he is. It's like, oh, yeah,
• 1:59:51
  like this is something that weirdly defined a lot of my choices as like a
• 1:59:59
  person. Now when when when it comes to like informed a lot of my
• 2:00:02
  my ideas about race when I was a kid, you know, absolutely so
• 2:00:06
  weird to say absolutely well, it's it's hard for it not to write like
• 2:00:11
  what other like reference point do you have? You see real life? You
• 2:00:15
  meet people in real life, you're you know, like we grew we had
• 2:00:18
  the you know, like we grew up in Toronto, so like we grew
• 2:00:20
  up around like a bunch of different kind of looking people. But like I
• 2:00:26
  mean, we grew up at a Tobaco, which is like ended up with
• 2:00:28
  being like weirdly like we the younger we were, the more diverse that area
• 2:00:34
  was, Like I remember going and it ended up wide did get wider?
• 2:00:39
  Yeah, but yeah, amazing movie. It's such a like it's it's it's
• 2:00:46
  a rare movie because we get to talk about so many different things about it.
• 2:00:51
  Dude, this next run I love movies that we have is pretty bonkers.
• 2:00:56
  Yeah, I can't wait. Should I read the list? You're on
• 2:00:59
  a list? How didn't you know? Let's get pumps. Let's get pumped
• 2:01:04
  for a second. You got a pen hang Er, Okay, Twelve Monkeys,
• 2:01:12
  Last Man Standing, Beavis and Butthead Do America, the Fifth Element,
• 2:01:18
  the Jackal Recruity Rising. Yeah, I mean you know what, those reals
• 2:01:23
  are terrible, but I can't wait to watch them again. Yeah me tooting
• 2:01:28
  man there. Yeah, there's a lot of good stuff. I can't believe
• 2:01:30
  how many movies there are still until we get to do I feel you.
• 2:01:34
  I'm right here. Don't look at me like that. I'm toned, fucking
• 2:01:38
  truth. Are you looking at the list? No, I am looking at
• 2:01:42
  some bullshit. Are you excited, dude, I'm so excited. I'm what
• 2:01:45
  are you most excited for upcoming? I mean I think I gotta say twelve
• 2:01:50
  Monkeys. Yeah, yeah, I'm like, it's one of those movies I
• 2:01:55
  kind of started interrupted. It's one of those movies I kind of like dread
• 2:01:57
  doing in a way like I kind of dread today because it's like it feels
• 2:02:00
  like there's a lot of steaks. We have to get to everything, we
• 2:02:03
  have to mention all the things, all the funny pantheon parts. So I'm
• 2:02:09
  of mixed minds. Usually, like having a movie like North, where it's
• 2:02:12
  like low steaks, you get to just like talk about it, excite You're
• 2:02:14
  already saw the North. You know. It really sucks is that I was
• 2:02:17
  expecting to have my place done so that I could watch four K twelve monkeys
• 2:02:25
  on my big screen, but now I have to watch it on my I
• 2:02:28
  might watch it on on Where I'm Staying now because that's an okay TV,
• 2:02:31
  but like I was hoping I might watch it again just to do should we
• 2:02:38
  talk should we talk about? We should talk about? Yeah, Kas even
