- 2:02Speaker 1: were going to Numero.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Trace.
- 2:09Speaker 1: What is sixth in Spanish? Never to face Sace. I
- 2:13Speaker 1: should have known that says we're going to numeros Sace,
- 2:18Speaker 1: which is for a movie that's not in Spanish. It
- 2:21Speaker 1: is The Secret Agent. Brian had it seven, I had
- 2:28Speaker 1: it eight, Eric had it three? Is this my fablement
- 2:32Speaker 1: of the year? Now? Actually, wait, no, it's Eric's turn
- 2:34Speaker 1: to go over a movie and he had a three.
- 2:37Speaker 1: So Eric, you start, why sell me on this movie?
- 2:39Speaker 1: Because obviously I didn't like it as much as you.
- 2:42Speaker 4: So this movie takes place in Brazil. It's available for
- 2:48Speaker 4: rental only, right, that's correct.
- 2:49Speaker 3: We'll be on Hulu the first tomorrow on Hulu.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Oh okay, so by the time this comes out listeners,
- 2:57Speaker 1: we'll have Acciss on Hulu.
- 3:00Speaker 4: This is like what a noir political thriller type movie.
- 3:06Speaker 4: It's set in nineteen seventy seven Brazil. It's in Portuguese.
- 3:12Speaker 1: And this is a movie I texted you I had
- 3:15Speaker 1: watched it one evening.
- 3:16Speaker 4: I've watched an hour of it. It's another long movie.
- 3:20Speaker 4: And I'd seen I think a trailer like months prior,
- 3:23Speaker 4: and I thought, like, should I watch a trailer, like
- 3:25Speaker 4: refresh myself about what this movie's even about? And I didn't,
- 3:29Speaker 4: and so I just started watching it, and after an
- 3:31Speaker 4: hour in I thought, I have no idea what this
- 3:33Speaker 4: movie is about. I don't know, like is he is
- 3:36Speaker 4: he the secret agent? Like why is he on the run?
- 3:39Speaker 1: But it's basically it's this guy, Marcello, and he's like
- 3:44Speaker 1: driving in a car and he's like kind of trying
- 3:47Speaker 1: to stay on the down low, and he gets into
- 3:50Speaker 1: this house and everyone else kind of living in this
- 3:52Speaker 1: apartment building seems like they're sort of hiding from people too,
- 3:56Speaker 1: and you don't quite know why. And it's revealed to
- 4:00Speaker 1: you in drips and drabs throughout the movie a bit
- 4:06Speaker 1: of his backstory and why he is keeping a low profile.
- 4:12Speaker 1: And I think Ryan described it as a slow burn.
- 4:15Speaker 1: I agree.
- 4:15Speaker 4: You know, it kind of grew and grew, and there
- 4:18Speaker 4: is like pretty dramatic crescendo near the end of the movie.
- 4:23Speaker 1: I thought that the main actor, what is.
- 4:26Speaker 4: His name, Wagner Moora, was really good Narcos. You played
- 4:32Speaker 4: Civil War right, Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's in civil war.
- 4:36Speaker 4: I forgot that he's right that.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I thought he was really good. I thought the movie
- 4:40Speaker 1: looked very good, like they were going for kind of
- 4:42Speaker 1: like a seventies sort of aesthetic.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I thought.
- 4:45Speaker 1: I thought it looked it looks great, you know.
- 4:49Speaker 4: I liked the brazil kind of culture stuff. I thought
- 4:52Speaker 4: it was surprisingly funny and there's like some weird off
- 4:55Speaker 4: ball moments like the leg for example.
- 4:58Speaker 1: It's really not stressful or suspenseful, even though he's like
- 5:01Speaker 1: being hunted down. Yeah, it's kind of funny and it's
- 5:04Speaker 1: just like chilling in the city. Really. Yeah, but you
- 5:09Speaker 1: know I would I say, like, you gotta, you gotta
- 5:12Speaker 1: see this movie, like this is gonna again, Like maybe not,
- 5:16Speaker 1: but I'm glad I watched it. I don't think I
- 5:18Speaker 1: would have watched this but for it being nominated for
- 5:20Speaker 1: an Academy Award, and I enjoyed it and it grew
- 5:24Speaker 1: on me. Anything. It was lower on both of your lists.
- 5:30Speaker 1: I think I want to hear Ryan's sake, but just
- 5:31Speaker 1: to mention, like, other than the City of God, I
- 5:34Speaker 1: really have not seen a Brazilian movie in my life.
- 5:36Speaker 1: And then last year I'm Still Here, which was a
- 5:39Speaker 1: Brazilian movie. He was nominated for Best Picture, and it
- 5:42Speaker 1: was about I didn't know this, but in the seventies
- 5:45Speaker 1: there was like a complete political upheaval in Brazil and
- 5:49Speaker 1: this right wing sort of corrupt government was causing liberal
- 5:54Speaker 1: people to like disappear. And that's what I'm still here
- 5:57Speaker 1: is about. And then so I learned at all last
- 6:00Speaker 1: year and then a year later another Brazilian movie about
- 6:03Speaker 1: the same topic. It's nominated for Best Picture. So I
- 6:06Speaker 1: thought that was kind of wild, But Ryan learned your
- 6:08Speaker 1: thoughts on this.
- 6:10Speaker 3: I saw this in theaters, so again like it kind
- 6:12Speaker 3: of like forces you to watch the whole thing. I
- 6:14Speaker 3: felt the exact same way, like the beginning, like the
- 6:16Speaker 3: first hour, it's like, man, I and this is probably
- 6:18Speaker 3: just dumb American guy, but I was like, I'm really
- 6:21Speaker 3: lost here and what's going on? And it sounds toopid.
- 6:23Speaker 3: I was like, I'm really.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Lost, and I think you're supposed to be like, yeah,
- 6:27Speaker 1: I mean we are. We are not Brazilian, like we
- 6:29Speaker 1: don't have that context, but it's still intentionally like I
- 6:32Speaker 1: think you're supposed to kind of wonder, you know, what's
- 6:35Speaker 1: going on.
- 6:35Speaker 3: I also think too, where they kind of like wiring
- 6:37Speaker 3: it if you will, where like, hey, you just you
- 6:40Speaker 3: have to keep up with this, like you like, we're
- 6:41Speaker 3: not going to boo feed this to you. But when
- 6:43Speaker 3: they get to a certain like dinner, you're kind of like, oh,
- 6:47Speaker 3: I see where this is going. I also, this movie
- 6:50Speaker 3: is just great. Sorry, this movie had such great faces.
- 6:54Speaker 3: Like the guy who was the assassin. I was like,
- 6:56Speaker 3: that's the scariest hum being received my entire life. That's
- 6:58Speaker 3: definitely him. And also just how they hired him. They're like, hey,
- 7:02Speaker 3: like two thousand dollars kill this guy.
- 7:05Speaker 1: So his name's Wagner Mora Rights. Yeah, Okay, if he
- 7:08Speaker 1: won Best Actor, I'd be totally fine.
- 7:10Speaker 3: I actually I was saying, you guys when we're texting,
- 7:12Speaker 3: I'm like, I actually think he might win. I think
- 7:14Speaker 3: he actually think he might win. Honestly, I'd be totally fine.
- 7:17Speaker 3: I wouldn't be mad about him. He was like very
- 7:19Speaker 3: like I was saying it. I was saying, I was saying, Joe,
- 7:24Speaker 3: a coworker has seen it, and I was like, he
- 7:27Speaker 3: really was, Like even though he was not like a
- 7:29Speaker 3: secret agent in like the way you assume like he
- 7:31Speaker 3: was already just like a guy on the run. I
- 7:33Speaker 3: was like, he probably probably awesome James Bond. He just
- 7:35Speaker 3: seemed like very charismatic, very charming. You know, he was
- 7:38Speaker 3: not playing that kind of role in this movie.
- 7:40Speaker 1: I don't think he's traditionally handsome enough to play James Bond.
- 7:43Speaker 1: I found him. No, no, no, no, he is handsome.
- 7:46Speaker 1: He's not. There's a lot of women who are very
- 7:48Speaker 1: attractive that are not traditionally attractive.
- 7:51Speaker 3: I did want to point out one thing about this
- 7:53Speaker 3: movie is I could be wrong. I'm trying to find
- 7:57Speaker 3: this now where or was talking? There are two movies
- 8:00Speaker 3: this year that have a two faced cat. This is
- 8:02Speaker 3: one of them.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Was the other two face cats.
- 8:05Speaker 3: That's what I'm trying to find because I know because
- 8:06Speaker 3: I remember. I was like, this is bizarre.
- 8:08Speaker 1: This is same cat. Danmil craig kind of looks like,
- 8:11Speaker 1: how do you do it? I guess yeah, he kind
- 8:14Speaker 1: of looks like the guy from Mad magazine. So he's
- 8:16Speaker 1: traditionally handsome.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Either he got his body, yeah, he's got for sure,
- 8:21Speaker 3: But like I really the like scene, of course is wacky.
- 8:25Speaker 3: The director, I guess. I have not seen it yet,
- 8:28Speaker 3: but I'm dying to see it. It had made a
- 8:31Speaker 3: movie called Bakara, which is about how drones show up
- 8:34Speaker 3: in a part of Brazil and people don't know why
- 8:36Speaker 3: they're there and the causes just mass chaos and it's
- 8:39Speaker 3: supposed to be like absolutely really really funny. So I
- 8:41Speaker 3: don't know if it's like sensibilities are more comedic, but
- 8:45Speaker 3: I I thought, to me, there was one very tense
- 8:48Speaker 3: part is when the assassin guy is following the dad
- 8:50Speaker 3: and I thought he was going to kill the dad first,
- 8:52Speaker 3: and I was like, don't fucking do this to me, please, like,
- 8:54Speaker 3: please don't do this. But very interesting how it ended
- 8:59Speaker 3: to it was a very interesting way to do it.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Extremely so I thought it was interesting, but I don't
- 9:05Speaker 1: know if I liked it. So the reason this was
- 9:07Speaker 1: high on my list and I didn't like it as
- 9:08Speaker 1: much as Eric, I thought it was well also because
- 9:12Speaker 1: you were saying you felt lost after I watched this movie.
- 9:15Speaker 1: I read the Wikipedia and when you read the part
- 9:19Speaker 1: about the leg, it sounds completely insane reading the Wikipedia
- 9:21Speaker 1: descript Yes, but anyways, I won't spoil that. But there's
- 9:25Speaker 1: a part about a severed leg that's like very funny.
- 9:28Speaker 1: And I so this movie was very very well acted,
- 9:33Speaker 1: looked really cool, the seventies look of the city and
- 9:36Speaker 1: the way it was like just everything about it. Enjoyed
- 9:40Speaker 1: the ride like it was I was on board. I
- 9:43Speaker 1: was interested in what was happening. But while like for me,
- 9:48Speaker 1: it's way too long. Nothing really happens, Like even though
- 9:52Speaker 1: it's about a guy who's trying to like there are
- 9:55Speaker 1: hit men trying to kill him from the government, it's
- 9:57Speaker 1: like that's the plot of the Born Identity, but nothing
- 10:00Speaker 1: really happens. And then you're with this guy for three
- 10:04Speaker 1: hours and then the choices they make on like the
- 10:08Speaker 1: ending and what ends up happening. I was just like, okay,
- 10:12Speaker 1: so I just you know, like it wasn't.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Oh interesting, Okay, well I thought I thought it was.
- 10:19Speaker 1: I thought it was cool. How different of a choice
- 10:21Speaker 1: that was.
- 10:21Speaker 3: Oh definitely, yeah, I thought the what was interesting about
- 10:24Speaker 3: it was like the also they did the build up
- 10:25Speaker 3: of like him trying to find the identity of his mother,
- 10:28Speaker 3: like find her name. Yeah, and like he was like
- 10:30Speaker 3: trying to do it like the re litigious way of
- 10:32Speaker 3: like trying to go through the files and find it
- 10:35Speaker 3: and kind of do it the right way, and the
- 10:37Speaker 3: villains were trying to find information the wrong way. And
- 10:40Speaker 3: it was kind of proved. I don't know if he's
- 10:41Speaker 3: making a point where like the good they're doing it
- 10:43Speaker 3: the right way, you can't win or you won't win. Yeah,
- 10:46Speaker 3: and but I agree where like that definitely the ending
- 10:48Speaker 3: is different, but also like I'm not sure I ultimately interpreted,
- 10:53Speaker 3: like if there was meant to be a meaning in
- 10:55Speaker 3: the ending where like, hey, guess what, some things just
- 10:57Speaker 3: don't go that way, right. You just never know because
- 11:00Speaker 3: like what the character says to the other character, he's right,
- 11:04Speaker 3: He's like, I barely knew this person in my head.
- 11:06Speaker 3: I barely knew him. So like you if you actually
- 11:09Speaker 3: know him better than I do. Yeah, And it's like,
- 11:11Speaker 3: but I remember seeing Jaws with my grandfather. That's the
- 11:14Speaker 3: interesting thing. So it's kind of this bizarre I don't know,
- 11:17Speaker 3: it's weird, but yeah.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, I wouldn't. I would not tell anyone
- 11:24Speaker 1: that was like, I really want to see some of
- 11:27Speaker 1: the Best Picture nominations this year. What should I watch?
- 11:30Speaker 1: I would not like Sarah, I would not be like
- 11:32Speaker 1: watched The Secret Agent.
- 11:33Speaker 3: I would not say that. Yeah, I kind of u
- 11:36Speaker 3: turn that from mine, but I was saying which number
- 11:39Speaker 3: I had it up?
- 11:39Speaker 1: But I was yeah, yeah, I agree with that assessment.
- 11:42Speaker 1: And there's more that I was glad to have watched this,
- 11:45Speaker 1: like I thought about it. Yeah, I enjoyed it while
- 11:49Speaker 1: it was happening, and I wouldn't have watched it but
- 11:51Speaker 1: for the Academy Awards, whereas all the other ones were
- 11:53Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, Sugg shrugs.
- 11:55Speaker 3: For me, similar to I'm still here, like I read
- 11:58Speaker 3: that like Tim Sailly he read the Wikipedia after like
- 12:00Speaker 3: how much of the historical nature of this is true?
- 12:04Speaker 3: It's just like again like totally like it's corny as
- 12:08Speaker 3: that sounds very educational because you're like, wow, like this
- 12:10Speaker 3: was going on, this was happening.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, Okay, should we move on?
- 12:16Speaker 3: Sure?
- 12:16Speaker 1: I think you have to. This is I think I
- 12:19Speaker 1: bought this. Did you guys rent it? We mentioned it
- 12:22Speaker 1: was for rental? Oh Vegas odds. Vegas odds are less
- 12:28Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sorry, that's right.
- 12:29Speaker 4: Vegas odds are less than one percent to win, and
- 12:32Speaker 4: Best Actor he's only five point two percent.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Okay, So if bet money on him to win and
- 12:39Speaker 1: if you lose, get mad at Ryan, I'm I would
- 12:42Speaker 1: bet on this for International Feature Film. You know, the
- 12:45Speaker 1: odds say it's only twenty six percent. And the Scars
- 12:48Speaker 1: a Guarde movie. I weirdly think because and we can
- 12:52Speaker 1: say a thing now that because already talked about Marty
- 12:54Speaker 1: Supreme Timothy Gellamy going too hard in the paint with
- 12:59Speaker 1: the promotion on it, I think and turn people off
- 13:01Speaker 1: of it as much as onto it. Yeah, and the
- 13:05Speaker 1: degradation they're doing just enough. They're not like, I know,
- 13:08Speaker 1: he doesn't want a ton of stuff, but I feel like, again,
- 13:10Speaker 1: you never know, we can't really predict this, but like
- 13:13Speaker 1: I feel like when you over promote, you can hurt
- 13:15Speaker 1: yourself as much as help yourself. I feel like with
- 13:16Speaker 1: Marty Supreme as best actor and then with sentimental value,
- 13:20Speaker 1: it's almost they're going too much with them and that
- 13:24Speaker 1: might repulse people.
- 13:25Speaker 3: I don't know, but.
- 13:26Speaker 1: My thought for for Shalom is that he went so
- 13:28Speaker 1: hard last year with uh, Bob don he is he
- 13:33Speaker 1: still around? Bob? Is he gonna call in? We'll see, Well,
- 13:36Speaker 1: we'll see. But I feel like people might be like,
- 13:42Speaker 1: all right, like you know, you're gonna keep doing this
- 13:44Speaker 1: until we get it, Like, all right, we'll give it
- 13:46Speaker 1: to you, Yeah, but we'll see.
- 13:47Speaker 3: I feel like to like their whole thing. I'm curious,
- 13:50Speaker 3: like he is just so young, they're gonna be like
- 13:51Speaker 3: do like not yeah, like not wait ten years and
- 13:54Speaker 3: like or is it gonna be like a sad thing
- 13:56Speaker 3: where like it's more infuriating as Tim brought it up
- 14:00Speaker 3: and we did the thing where like they have to
- 14:02Speaker 3: give it to you for something and then you do
- 14:04Speaker 3: something like it like to Capa, you're like winning for
- 14:06Speaker 3: the Revenant and then does something way.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Better after and you're like, what did you do better after?
- 14:11Speaker 3: Once? One time in Hollywood? Was wow, way better? Yeah,
- 14:14Speaker 3: And it was just like, are you fucking kidding me?
- 14:16Speaker 3: He's titled for that. It's like really Wolf of Wall
- 14:18Speaker 3: Street even the year before the year after.
- 14:20Speaker 1: He's that he could have won for ever.
- 14:22Speaker 3: You know. Agreed, agreed, but I'm just curious about that.
- 14:25Speaker 3: But I agree Art that I think it'll It's it's
- 14:28Speaker 3: a low percentage on the Best International Feature, but I
- 14:30Speaker 3: could see it winning.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Okay, So that was Yeah. Eric just said his middle
- 14:42Speaker 1: could like on any given day, it could change, and
- 14:44Speaker 1: I totally agree. My top two were pretty clear, My
- 14:47Speaker 1: bottom two are pretty clear, and then three through eight,
- 14:51Speaker 1: like you could shuffle them and I'd be like, yeah,
- 14:53Speaker 1: that honestly, honestly, nothing was clear for me, Like my
- 14:57Speaker 1: ten nine were not clear. Even my one was not clear.
- 15:01Speaker 1: Like I honestly had a bunch of at least three
- 15:04Speaker 1: movies that I considered to.
- 15:06Speaker 3: Be one interesting. Yeah, I mean, actually that's kind of great.
- 15:11Speaker 3: Though in my opinion, I think when something that's like
- 15:13Speaker 3: a landslide like this, it's the one. It's kind of
- 15:16Speaker 3: boring and it's spoiled. But like, also I think like
- 15:20Speaker 3: when there's less like this is an interesting group of
- 15:23Speaker 3: nominees where I feel like in the past, I think actually,
- 15:26Speaker 3: since we've been doing this, we've it's probably because of us. Yeah,
- 15:28Speaker 3: I think so the nominees have been more interesting.
- 15:31Speaker 1: I think so definitely.
- 15:32Speaker 3: I feel like when it was in the past where
- 15:33Speaker 3: you're like five of these are just like reading a
- 15:36Speaker 3: fucking dictionary and it's like, yeah, okay, but this is
- 15:41Speaker 3: the dumbest way to put that possible.
- 15:42Speaker 1: But no, I mean that it's a great way to
- 15:44Speaker 1: put it actually, but okay, yeah, next one, this uh
- 15:53Speaker 1: is Ryan's introduction. Okay, Ryan had it at eight, Eric
- 15:57Speaker 1: had it at five. I also had it at five,
- 16:00Speaker 1: and that is Hamnet.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Oh.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I also want to say. So, last year, Ryan waited
- 16:07Speaker 1: forever to send me his list. You sent it to
- 16:09Speaker 1: me at like the eleventh hour because you were like,
- 16:12Speaker 1: I just don't know the order, and I just wrote back,
- 16:14Speaker 1: just send me the fucking list, like I don't care.
- 16:17Speaker 1: This year, he sent it to me in code, so
- 16:20Speaker 1: like he sent me the ten movies and all ten
- 16:22Speaker 1: titles were wrong. But if but the titles, I could
- 16:25Speaker 1: figure based on the titles he put I could figure
- 16:27Speaker 1: out what the movie was. So it took me literally
- 16:30Speaker 1: like ten minutes, and then I sent it to him
- 16:32Speaker 1: is this correct? And then he said yes, it is,
- 16:34Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, like abbreviations or like ten,
- 16:39Speaker 1: yeah it was yeah, like pre sentimental value. He called
- 16:43Speaker 1: it the Borgs, which is their last name, trek nice
- 16:47Speaker 1: love so and then this is like this was the
- 16:51Speaker 1: dumbest one on my part. So Ryan wrote phone FO
- 16:56Speaker 1: n E and I could not figure out which movie
- 16:58Speaker 1: that was, and then I was like, oh fucking more
- 17:00Speaker 1: on it's f one.
- 17:01Speaker 3: All to get a picture was a poster. A poster
- 17:05Speaker 3: had like f one like how people of her phone.
- 17:08Speaker 3: That's like the genius moment when we went to the movie.
- 17:11Speaker 1: This is a capital FN one word like what his phone?
- 17:15Speaker 3: We went to see I robot and Mike Maserati did
- 17:18Speaker 3: miss a fucking beat. He went to the conference. Can
- 17:21Speaker 3: I get a ticket for one robot? And the guy
- 17:23Speaker 3: was like he just Frozemen. It was just perfect. Yeah.
- 17:27Speaker 3: Nut ham Nut is the story of William Shakespeare who
- 17:32Speaker 3: meets Anne.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Hathaway, whose name is Agnes Yes. And I looked up
- 17:39Speaker 1: the Wikipedia page and her name was Anne Hathaway and
- 17:42Speaker 1: also Agnes Yes, because because Shannon I watched it with.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Shannon was one of the few I watched with Shannon,
- 17:47Speaker 1: and Shannon was like, this isn't his wife. His wife
- 17:49Speaker 1: is not name Agnes in real life, and so that's
- 17:52Speaker 1: why I.
- 17:52Speaker 3: Looked it up. Anyways, So it's about the falling in
- 17:56Speaker 3: love having two children. Unfortunately they lose a child, and
- 18:01Speaker 3: it's how they both handle it from both perspectives told
- 18:05Speaker 3: in different chunks of the movie. Agnes is kind of
- 18:11Speaker 3: considered by he's going to be untrustworthy because of her
- 18:13Speaker 3: family's background. So a lot of the movie is with
- 18:16Speaker 3: nature and with her quote unquote as they call her
- 18:21Speaker 3: witch lifestyle, which is much more of a nature embracing person,
- 18:26Speaker 3: very heavily dramatic. This movie is getting a lot of hate.
- 18:31Speaker 3: I don't think it deserves the hate personally.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Wait for a second before you go into that this
- 18:35Speaker 1: is going to be on Peacock.
- 18:36Speaker 3: You said this on Peacock the sixth, the sixth for free,
- 18:39Speaker 3: if you have, If you have Peacocky's.
- 18:41Speaker 1: And it's starting. Jesse Buckley, Paul Mescal.
- 18:44Speaker 3: Sorry I butchered the description there. Now, who's Chloe who won? For? For?
- 18:50Speaker 3: What's it called for?
- 18:55Speaker 2: Man?
- 18:55Speaker 3: I forgot about that? But this is a this is
- 19:01Speaker 3: also a Steven Spielberg produce movie. This book was extremely successful.
- 19:06Speaker 3: Uh to all you all you comic fans out there.
- 19:09Speaker 3: Hamnett was a very big aspect of the Sandman series.
- 19:12Speaker 3: Actually knew a lot of this movie from that. Oh wow,
- 19:14Speaker 3: it's actually really amazing in Salmon, how they use it.
- 19:16Speaker 1: What's the hate it's getting?
- 19:18Speaker 3: People think it's just too it's too blatantly emotional. It's
- 19:22Speaker 3: too blatantly That's like the criticism I hear of it
- 19:25Speaker 3: a lot is that it's too not like schmaltzy, but
- 19:28Speaker 3: like it's it's almost like it's it feels like it's
- 19:31Speaker 3: unfounded because it just starts from this point and doesn't
- 19:33Speaker 3: let go. That's kind of like I get, that's what
- 19:35Speaker 3: it gets to feel I get from it. Okay, Yeah,
- 19:38Speaker 3: I like this movie. It has a scornography clime crime
- 19:42Speaker 3: that is fundamentally infuriating to me. I did not know that,
- 19:45Speaker 3: and I have to you shouldn't know. It's okay, you
- 19:48Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 19:48Speaker 1: Anything about Eric.
- 19:50Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I wanted to talk about this and I don't.
- 19:54Speaker 4: I don't know if Ryan has the same take as
- 19:56Speaker 4: I did, but I would like to talk about this.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Go for it.
- 19:58Speaker 3: So end of the movie they use a very very
- 20:04Speaker 3: like more modernly famous piece of classical music written by
- 20:09Speaker 3: the composer Mac Victor, who composes the score for this movie.
- 20:12Speaker 3: Who's a great composer.
- 20:13Speaker 4: Okay, So the last scene, it's it's on the Nature
- 20:17Speaker 4: of Daylight. It's from a piece from two thousand.
- 20:19Speaker 1: And four that's been used a ton It's in Shutter Island,
- 20:23Speaker 1: it's an Arrival, It's in Handmaid's Tail, it's in Last.
- 20:25Speaker 3: Of Us, It's in so much stuff. I really it's
- 20:29Speaker 3: a great piece. It's really good, and it's I agree
- 20:33Speaker 3: it still works here if you would like never known
- 20:35Speaker 3: this piece again. This is not a normal complaint. But
- 20:37Speaker 3: when they started playing it, I was kind of like,
- 20:39Speaker 3: all right, like it's like now we like again, this
- 20:42Speaker 3: is not a normal complaint. But it just deflated the balloon.
- 20:45Speaker 1: So this this guy composed the movie and use a
- 20:48Speaker 1: famous song.
- 20:49Speaker 3: He's already done, so we I love by the way,
- 20:52Speaker 3: it's schornography is fighting its way back into the show
- 20:55Speaker 3: after the craze.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Their thoughts about another movie.
- 20:58Speaker 3: What can also happen to is that sometimes when they're
- 21:01Speaker 3: making a movie and they hire a composer, they might say, well,
- 21:05Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think it happened here, but this
- 21:06Speaker 3: can happen when they're like, hey, you know what, Like
- 21:09Speaker 3: he's going to compose the music. He can't start. Now,
- 21:11Speaker 3: let's listen to some of his stuff, and like we'll
- 21:14Speaker 3: edit the movie to his stuff.
- 21:16Speaker 1: I looked, and I can tell you exactly what happened here,
- 21:18Speaker 1: so go for it. So that I didn't know.
- 21:22Speaker 4: I didn't even know this was nominated for Best Score
- 21:25Speaker 4: or anything, but I immediately recognized.
- 21:29Speaker 1: That piece at the end of the movie.
- 21:31Speaker 4: And then I was looking at the nominations later and
- 21:33Speaker 4: I saw it was nominated for Best Original Score, and
- 21:36Speaker 4: I thought like, oh, that's not original this yeah, and
- 21:41Speaker 4: that Max Richter was, And so it turns out, yeah,
- 21:44Speaker 4: he wrote the rest of the score for the film.
- 21:47Speaker 4: The film originally ended with the last scene of the
- 21:51Speaker 4: play Hamlet where he dies, and that was gonna be
- 21:54Speaker 4: the end of the movie, and Chloe Jao wasn't satisfied
- 21:58Speaker 4: with the ending, and the main actress sent Chloe Jaw
- 22:05Speaker 4: this piece by Max Richter, and Klojao was not familiar
- 22:09Speaker 4: with the piece, which makes no sense to me, because
- 22:11Speaker 4: if you're gonna hire a composer for the movie you're directing,
- 22:14Speaker 4: and that's like the composers like most famous.
- 22:19Speaker 1: He has, he's he's played a lot.
- 22:21Speaker 4: But like the fact that she'd never heard it was
- 22:23Speaker 4: like baffling to me, sort of making an analogy like
- 22:26Speaker 4: if he was Silento, that would be his name.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Nee.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Yes, that's a perfect analogy.
- 22:32Speaker 3: It's a great way to if he was loose stools,
- 22:35Speaker 3: it would be.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Yeah, so so so then so then director Klojo starts
- 22:43Speaker 1: listening to this piece over and over and over again
- 22:46Speaker 1: and playing it on set over and over again as
- 22:48Speaker 1: they're wrapping up the movie, like doing the last scenes,
- 22:51Speaker 1: and it inspires her to kind of change the ending
- 22:53Speaker 1: of the movie, so the end of the movie is
- 22:55Speaker 1: no longer him let the actor on stage at the
- 22:59Speaker 1: Globe Theater says, as line, movie ends, but there's another
- 23:03Speaker 1: part and this piece of music plays, and so they
- 23:07Speaker 1: change the ending and that's the that is it. And
- 23:10Speaker 1: then Max Richter goes and composes his own music to
- 23:14Speaker 1: fit that scene, and Chloe Jao says like, I was
- 23:18Speaker 1: really like inspired by and into the actual piece of music,
- 23:22Speaker 1: like that's what I had in my head and that's
- 23:24Speaker 1: and Mac Characters said like, okay, so so I agree.
- 23:29Speaker 1: So you know it's that is the most, that is
- 23:33Speaker 1: the most, like that's the biggest musical cue of the movie,
- 23:36Speaker 1: and it is not original, and it's not yet he's
- 23:40Speaker 1: not an in for Best Original Score.
- 23:42Speaker 3: I just also think to me, like, even if you
- 23:44Speaker 3: don't think his piece is as good like the one,
- 23:47Speaker 3: he's like, hey, like, Chloe Joo, I have another piece
- 23:51Speaker 3: for this that I think could work better. I would
- 23:53Speaker 3: be like, because it's just so overused, just be like
- 23:57Speaker 3: then just go with that, Just go with that, like Jesse,
- 24:00Speaker 3: because again we're focusing on the wrong thing here. Jesse
- 24:03Speaker 3: Buckley is so fucking good in this movie is disgusting.
- 24:05Speaker 3: Should I was like, that's all you needed was just her,
- 24:09Speaker 3: just all you needed, even ended in silence, all you
- 24:12Speaker 3: needed was her. And know his wife Jesse Buckley, yes
- 24:15Speaker 3: he's a big, big fan of hers. Yeah, but total
- 24:19Speaker 3: nerd thing. But I just because it did, like as
- 24:22Speaker 3: a fan of this stuff in general, it did. Like also,
- 24:25Speaker 3: I was like, we're going to this, like we're using
- 24:27Speaker 3: this as a band aid, like it feels you don't
- 24:29Speaker 3: you didn't need it in my opinion, but still I
- 24:33Speaker 3: like the movie. Like the movie.
- 24:34Speaker 1: The reason I had this higher than all the other
- 24:36Speaker 1: movies we talked about is basically two reasons. Like I
- 24:41Speaker 1: didn't love this. I mean, it was good, but I
- 24:44Speaker 1: didn't love It's like it's a period piece. The two
- 24:49Speaker 1: parts of the movie that I just pushed it over
- 24:51Speaker 1: the edge for me was Jesse Buckley.
- 24:52Speaker 3: He's just phenomenals. She has to wine.
- 24:55Speaker 1: And then the other thing that I don't think, like
- 24:59Speaker 1: I don't think it's a fair criticism that this movie
- 25:01Speaker 1: is like intentionally over emotional. It's about the death of
- 25:04Speaker 1: your child, so like that the just trying to process
- 25:11Speaker 1: as a parent the movie while watching it like it
- 25:14Speaker 1: affected me in a way. Just because of that.
- 25:20Speaker 3: I so.
- 25:23Speaker 1: Wanted to watch all ten movies for this podcast.
- 25:25Speaker 4: And I had kind of forgotten that I went to
- 25:27Speaker 4: a concert last night that I talked to you both
- 25:29Speaker 4: about and I still need to see this movie. And
- 25:31Speaker 4: I had a busy today. So I rented this movie
- 25:35Speaker 4: and watched it on the way to and from the concert,
- 25:39Speaker 4: and then finished it at home after the concert last
- 25:41Speaker 4: night on the on the tea, And during the most
- 25:45Speaker 4: emotional part of this movie, I was like crying on
- 25:49Speaker 4: the tea and like.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Any luck, it's just like by myself. It was like
- 25:53Speaker 1: at like eleven o'clock last night, which was like strangers,
- 25:59Speaker 1: like just like staring at my phone this movie and
- 26:04Speaker 1: I just can't. I can't process what, you know, Like
- 26:08Speaker 1: I think it's just wild to me. How back in
- 26:12Speaker 1: the day, in Shakespeare's time and through most of modern history,
- 26:15Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, you know you're gonna have you're a
- 26:18Speaker 1: woman or a man, you're gonna have like six kids.
- 26:20Speaker 1: And the reason you do that is because you know,
- 26:22Speaker 1: like two or three of them are not die. Like
- 26:24Speaker 1: Shakespeare's mom had what three Yeah, and they talked to
- 26:29Speaker 1: the mother, Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's Shakespeare's mom in this movie.
- 26:33Speaker 1: She said, I had two diy as babies and one
- 26:36Speaker 1: die at seven. And the way that she says it,
- 26:39Speaker 1: you can tell like the seven year old's death really
- 26:43Speaker 1: affected her. And it's like, no wonder. I mean, there's
- 26:46Speaker 1: all sorts of theories why, you know, throughout history we
- 26:48Speaker 1: were so violent and fucked up as a species. You know,
- 26:52Speaker 1: lead was one of the theories. Uh. But yeah, just
- 26:56Speaker 1: the fact that the trauma that you must have gone.
- 26:58Speaker 3: Through and they have to squashed it down.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Yeah, And like there's I don't want to spoil the movie,
- 27:03Speaker 1: but there's there's a scene where there's like a stillborn
- 27:06Speaker 1: birth and the nurse it's not a nurse, but.
- 27:10Speaker 3: What would you call them, like the like the what
- 27:12Speaker 3: do they call it.
- 27:13Speaker 1: The doula? Yeah, doulah, Yeah, what I was trying to
- 27:17Speaker 1: go for kind of it wasn't really a doula, but whatever.
- 27:19Speaker 1: The lady next door, it's like family friend. Yeah, it's
- 27:21Speaker 1: like the lady next door, she just walked. She immediately
- 27:25Speaker 1: takes the silvern baby away and just don't look at it.
- 27:28Speaker 1: It's bad luck. And so the mother never even like
- 27:30Speaker 1: has a chance to process or look at the baby
- 27:33Speaker 1: and you know that they're ever talking about it again.
- 27:35Speaker 3: That's something like this idea, like like rip this bandit
- 27:38Speaker 3: off and walk away, like never see its face, never
- 27:40Speaker 3: let it register in your head.
- 27:41Speaker 1: And I don't think that there were good psychologists that
- 27:45Speaker 1: are helping them, maybe on zoom to make it easier
- 27:48Speaker 1: to just get your own appointment.
- 27:50Speaker 3: Listen, well got to stay home.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Yeah, and also just the expectation that the world moves
- 27:55Speaker 1: on when you go through the most. I can't, I
- 27:58Speaker 1: honestly can't think of anything worse than dying. And you
- 28:03Speaker 1: you know, especially if you have another kid, like if
- 28:05Speaker 1: you have other kids, that's the one thing that gets
- 28:06Speaker 1: you through it, yeah, because you have to go on
- 28:09Speaker 1: for your other kids, who you love equally as much.
- 28:11Speaker 1: But you know, your husband goes back to work. Everybody
- 28:15Speaker 1: moves on, and everybody's still sad and remembers your dead child.
- 28:19Speaker 1: But everybody moves on and you don't, and it's just
- 28:21Speaker 1: like what do we? What do I do?
- 28:24Speaker 3: Yeah? Because also she is left to deal with it.
- 28:26Speaker 3: That's the thing too about us, because like.
- 28:28Speaker 1: It's Will who Shakespeare is like I have to go
- 28:30Speaker 1: back to London. I have to work.
- 28:32Speaker 3: We have to.
- 28:32Speaker 1: I have to, you know, and I don't fault him
- 28:34Speaker 1: for that. Shannon very interesting to take on this movie.
- 28:37Speaker 1: So Shannon hated Will, like hated him instead. Jesse Buckley's
- 28:43Speaker 1: really good and I like the movie, but the movie
- 28:45Speaker 1: has run for me because I just hated Well so much.
- 28:47Speaker 1: And I was like why and then she said, she
- 28:50Speaker 1: was like, you don't do this. I'm not saying that
- 28:52Speaker 1: like this is you or I see Will as you,
- 28:55Speaker 1: but I just think Will in this movie is making
- 28:57Speaker 1: the death about him. And I just I said, like,
- 29:00Speaker 1: I'm gonna challenge you on that because he just seems
- 29:02Speaker 1: really sad too. So how come she said, And she's
- 29:07Speaker 1: not making it about her, but he's said and he
- 29:09Speaker 1: is making it about him, And she was like, man,
- 29:12Speaker 1: just do this. He's being so dramatic. He's writing a play.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Everybody can see my play. Meanwhile, she's off in the
- 29:18Speaker 1: countryside just like suffering alone. And I was like, okay, okay,
- 29:23Speaker 1: but that was her take.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Hmmm. I I thought.
- 29:29Speaker 1: That Jesse Buckley like said some brutal things to yeah,
- 29:33Speaker 1: Will Yes that I thought were unfair and like unfair
- 29:37Speaker 1: horrible because because so like they Jesse Buckley like encourages well.
- 29:43Speaker 4: Like you can't be in the small town, like you
- 29:44Speaker 4: need to go to London to like do your art.
- 29:47Speaker 4: He was a great wife and so and so Will
- 29:50Speaker 4: like does he's excited. He goes to London and then
- 29:53Speaker 4: like while while he'sn't like the idea is he's gonna
- 29:55Speaker 4: like work in London during the season and like come
- 29:58Speaker 4: home at every opportunity. And so while he's out in London,
- 30:03Speaker 4: his kids get sick and he like rushes home.
- 30:06Speaker 1: As soon as he possibly can. And Jesse Buckley's like,
- 30:10Speaker 1: Won't said like you should have been here, Like I
- 30:12Speaker 1: can't believe you weren't here. You didn't you know. I
- 30:15Speaker 1: thought that was entire I was totally on will side
- 30:17Speaker 1: and thought she was being unfair until he left and
- 30:20Speaker 1: went back to Lefe oh and and like he just
- 30:24Speaker 1: like has the stuff packed and he's just like walking
- 30:25Speaker 1: the car. Yeah, and Jesse's like, where are you going?
- 30:29Speaker 1: And he's like, oh, I'm leaving today.
- 30:32Speaker 3: The only horse leaving town is right now. I have
- 30:34Speaker 3: to go.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Because he's like, yeah, we have a like we're in
- 30:36Speaker 1: the middle of a production of one of my plays,
- 30:38Speaker 1: and like, yeah, I mean I'm devastated. I'm truly devastated
- 30:41Speaker 1: my child died, and he is. But he's like, but
- 30:44Speaker 1: I have to we have to go finish the production
- 30:45Speaker 1: of the play. And she's like, no, no, even if
- 30:49Speaker 1: that was true, you don't handle it by just like
- 30:51Speaker 1: showing up with all your bags packed, like walking out
- 30:53Speaker 1: the door. So I wasn't on his side and after
- 30:55Speaker 1: that moment, but before that, I was.
- 30:58Speaker 3: It's a hard that part's a hard cell. But it's
- 31:00Speaker 3: like interesting how I thought they would go, Like I
- 31:03Speaker 3: thought more of the second half, and you do see
- 31:05Speaker 3: more of will, but they kind of only really give it,
- 31:07Speaker 3: like obviously when the play because they want the play
- 31:09Speaker 3: to hit you hard. But like when he's rehearsing with
- 31:12Speaker 3: the two actors and he's like, there's no emotion in this.
- 31:14Speaker 3: You're just saying, you're just reciting the words and there's
- 31:16Speaker 3: no emotion, and he's saying the words that he's like
- 31:20Speaker 3: kind of saying about how he feels about the situation
- 31:22Speaker 3: with his wife. But then, like I thought was interesting,
- 31:24Speaker 3: thinking about it today is like what is this? And
- 31:27Speaker 3: they again I'm going to keep plugging this, Like what's
- 31:30Speaker 3: interesting is they include is what is the story? He
- 31:33Speaker 3: tells them when he first meets the story of Orpheus
- 31:36Speaker 3: and his wife, where like he has the leader out
- 31:39Speaker 3: of the underworld. They just tell him, all we will
- 31:41Speaker 3: let her out of the underworld, just don't look back.
- 31:44Speaker 3: And then the whole idea is that the second gets
- 31:46Speaker 3: the door. He does, and he tells the story like
- 31:49Speaker 3: it is like this, he's just so in love with her,
- 31:52Speaker 3: he has to do it. And then the whole thing
- 31:55Speaker 3: is no, no, you're not doing the right thing at
- 31:58Speaker 3: that time. And I think that's the whole transplant of him,
- 32:01Speaker 3: is like with that moment when he's leaving, it's like,
- 32:03Speaker 3: you're not doing the right thing at the right time.
- 32:05Speaker 3: And I thought that was kind of the interesting kind
- 32:07Speaker 3: of like it like kind of like projection of that.
- 32:11Speaker 3: It was interesting to me, and I.
- 32:12Speaker 1: Think that is fascinating. This is pretty historically accurate from
- 32:15Speaker 1: my understanding. We don't actually know like how the death
- 32:19Speaker 1: of his children literally transpired in real life, but like
- 32:23Speaker 1: Shakespeare was just like a loser living in the countryside
- 32:26Speaker 1: that nobody respected. And then he was like all right,
- 32:29Speaker 1: let me like try to go to London and be
- 32:31Speaker 1: a playwright. And then he became William Shakespeare my.
- 32:34Speaker 3: Boss first leave and scream at his ear run away.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Yeah that was ye.
- 32:38Speaker 3: His boss is boss was a little rough.
- 32:41Speaker 1: And also the movie is about how he went from
- 32:45Speaker 1: just like kind of a rando with you know, his
- 32:48Speaker 1: family is doing well, but they're in debt, and then
- 32:51Speaker 1: he becomes extremely wealthy and they like buy a new house,
- 32:54Speaker 1: and Jesse Buckley was like, I don't give a fuck
- 32:56Speaker 1: about our new house. Yeah, I thought that was interesting
- 32:59Speaker 1: just from perspective of Shakespeare. You don't really think of that.
- 33:02Speaker 3: Yeah, you really. It's also like you don't like, I
- 33:05Speaker 3: don't know how to say, like, I guess here's a
- 33:08Speaker 3: question I would pose or ask. It made me actually
- 33:11Speaker 3: more curious, and this is the first time in a
- 33:12Speaker 3: long time this happened to read the book this is
- 33:14Speaker 3: based on. I'm curious that the book has more into
- 33:16Speaker 3: what this movie is doing because, like I think Chloe
- 33:19Speaker 3: Joao is very much more of an experiential director. It's
- 33:22Speaker 3: like I want you to kind of like watch this
- 33:23Speaker 3: as it happens. It's emotional. It's not like, let's make
- 33:27Speaker 3: this much more of a biopic, let's give more history,
- 33:29Speaker 3: Like it's just like you're experiencing as they go through,
- 33:32Speaker 3: So I'd be curious to read if like the book,
- 33:35Speaker 3: because it seemed like he's almost like his fame comes
- 33:37Speaker 3: in later and like that woman who who Jesse Buckley
- 33:41Speaker 3: shuts down when she's like, oh did you hear about
- 33:44Speaker 3: his new play? Yeah, and she's like you were never
- 33:47Speaker 3: my mom? Go the fuck away? Yeah, but it was
- 33:51Speaker 3: I'm curious. It made me actually want to read the
- 33:53Speaker 3: book in an interesting way.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Also, Taylor Swift's longest relationship ever is Jesse Buckley's brother
- 33:59Speaker 1: in this movie Joellen.
- 34:00Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 34:01Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh I didn't realize that was him. Yep, yeah, Okay.
- 34:05Speaker 1: I thought Paul Mescal was really good and I'm surprised
- 34:07Speaker 1: he didn't get nominated.
- 34:08Speaker 3: He did not. Okay, interesting, I liked him. I thought
- 34:12Speaker 3: he was good. I liked him. Yeah, and she's tremendous
- 34:15Speaker 3: as usual.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Okay, the next movie, I guess I'll introduce I had it.
- 34:24Speaker 3: Like it's like we're coming out of it, like you know,
- 34:26Speaker 3: they do the interesting especial picture they have someone the
- 34:28Speaker 3: oscars come out and talk about it, like, why would
- 34:30Speaker 3: they pick us to do this?
- 34:31Speaker 1: They should? From Cuff's basement.
- 34:34Speaker 3: Here he is with two buzzballs in hand Ryan talking
- 34:37Speaker 3: about himnet. So the score relief is get him out
- 34:40Speaker 3: of here.
- 34:40Speaker 1: Now Eric has a standing behind us because he's not
- 34:42Speaker 1: a co host. I Ryan edited four. Eric hadded at
- 34:47Speaker 1: seven and I had it at two. And it is Bogonia,
- 34:52Speaker 1: directed by what's his names Lanthamos And this is on Peacock.
- 34:58Speaker 3: This is on Peacock now.
- 34:59Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's on Peacock now for free if you
- 35:02Speaker 1: have Peacock. And it's starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons and Eric.
- 35:10Speaker 1: You thought it was odd he didn't get nominated. Yeah,
- 35:12Speaker 1: I really like Jesse Yep. Who My forgetting is that
- 35:17Speaker 1: there's the actor I talked about in part one, Who's
- 35:20Speaker 1: Autistic is one of the main characters. Star wars Hawkers, Yep, Starbros.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Who I absolutely love is a stand up comedian and
- 35:28Speaker 1: a podcast host. Who Yeah, Who's just awesome. Yeah. So
- 35:34Speaker 1: I I loved this movie. I thought it was I
- 35:38Speaker 1: thought it was so. The plot of the movie is
- 35:41Speaker 1: there's a very successful CEO of this like tech company
- 35:47Speaker 1: played by Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons and his autistic
- 35:51Speaker 1: cousin are sort of like conspiracy theorists. They're on the
- 35:56Speaker 1: Internet going through all these rabbit.
- 35:58Speaker 3: Holes sort of ain't the word for word, sort of
- 36:01Speaker 3: ain't the word for it.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Committed, committed, committed conspiracy theorists. And they believe that Emma
- 36:09Speaker 1: Stone is the CEO of this company, is an alien
- 36:12Speaker 1: and they are going to kidnap her and have her
- 36:15Speaker 1: admit she's an alien and then get her like alien
- 36:18Speaker 1: race to leave Earth alone as their goal, and they
- 36:24Speaker 1: they so. Anyways, I thought the movie was very, very funny.
- 36:28Speaker 1: It was super This guy, he's he's made dog tooth.
- 36:32Speaker 1: He made Poor Things lobster, the lobster least of all
- 36:39Speaker 1: the time. I thought Poor Things was so good and
- 36:43Speaker 1: Amastone was so good. I almost don't want her to know
- 36:45Speaker 1: she's nominated this year.
- 36:46Speaker 3: I don't want her to win. I don't think she will.
- 36:48Speaker 1: She Poor Things was just like she deserves the heavyweight
- 36:52Speaker 1: belt for that.
- 36:52Speaker 3: For a long time, I'm surprised. I thought he would
- 36:56Speaker 3: be even more nominated than her.
- 36:58Speaker 1: I like Jesse a lot.
- 36:59Speaker 3: He was right in this.
- 37:00Speaker 1: He's in so much good stuff.
- 37:02Speaker 3: Yeah, he's so good.
- 37:03Speaker 1: Civil War he was great in that. And anyways, so
- 37:07Speaker 1: he was just Landry the kicker on Friday Night Lights
- 37:09Speaker 1: and then Breaking Bad.
- 37:11Speaker 3: And I saw the change the actors. Actors with him,
- 37:14Speaker 3: Michael B. Jordan, Oh really, yeah, They're both like how
- 37:16Speaker 3: the fuck did we get here? Yeah.
- 37:18Speaker 1: So there were multiple moments that that I was truly shocked,
- 37:23Speaker 1: like my mouth dropped open in the movie, like three
- 37:26Speaker 1: or four moments. I won't spoil it, but my favorite
- 37:30Speaker 1: moment out of any of these movies all ten was
- 37:33Speaker 1: when Stavros like reveals his backstory to Jesse Plemons. That
- 37:38Speaker 1: was wild stuff, so amazing. I just was fucking dying
- 37:42Speaker 1: during that. And then there's another scene where I won't
- 37:45Speaker 1: reveal what happens, but I was like, Emmastone is talking
- 37:49Speaker 1: to a character in the basement and I was like,
- 37:52Speaker 1: oh my god, I know what he's gonna do. And
- 37:54Speaker 1: then he did it and I went holy shit. So
- 37:58Speaker 1: I just thought this was this was chaos, This was gnarally,
- 38:03Speaker 1: it was hilarious. It was it was not what I expected.
- 38:08Speaker 1: I did not know where it was going. Very much
- 38:12Speaker 1: enjoyed it. But Eric, you had it seven. Yeah, And
- 38:15Speaker 1: I remember when I first saw this, I texted you
- 38:18Speaker 1: that it was not for me. And I really like.
- 38:20Speaker 4: Your ghosts and his other you know, I liked four
- 38:23Speaker 4: things I actually liked the Lobster.
- 38:26Speaker 1: I really want to see is it killing Sacred Deer? Yeah,
- 38:29Speaker 1: none of us have seen it. Interesting, I want to
- 38:33Speaker 1: see that. I respect this movie.
- 38:35Speaker 3: You know.
- 38:35Speaker 4: I made some big swings and it was like very
- 38:38Speaker 4: out there. This is one where I wonder if I
- 38:42Speaker 4: saw it in the theater, it would have been a
- 38:44Speaker 4: better experience just because of the crowd. I mean, so
- 38:47Speaker 4: I mentioned the Substance, which is another one where I
- 38:49Speaker 4: watched by myself.
- 38:50Speaker 1: I was just like, this is disgusting. I don't like this.
- 38:52Speaker 3: I can get you be turned off if Yeah.
- 38:55Speaker 4: But I wonder if in the theater it would like
- 38:57Speaker 4: people would be like laughing and covering their eyes, and
- 38:59Speaker 4: that would be like part of it. This was kind
- 39:01Speaker 4: of the same thing, like I thought, you see, he
- 39:04Speaker 4: has the autistic cousin who I thought like did a
- 39:06Speaker 4: very good job. But I just found like everything that
- 39:09Speaker 4: happened to him, you'd be very sad. Yeah, and like
- 39:13Speaker 4: a lot of and like Jesse Plummin's character was sad
- 39:16Speaker 4: and they're torturing this woman in the basement and it's
- 39:18Speaker 4: sad and like a lot about.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Just like Alicia Silverstone is in this movie. Yeah, mom, Yeah, yeah,
- 39:25Speaker 1: another like Parent movie. This is a good comp with Eddington,
- 39:31Speaker 1: I think in a way and just like like really
- 39:32Speaker 1: big swings, like really out there and like, yeah, of
- 39:37Speaker 1: course it was when I saw that at the end
- 39:39Speaker 1: produced by Ariostra, I didn't even know that. I went like, yes, yeah,
- 39:42Speaker 1: of course it was this year. Sure, but the whole
- 39:48Speaker 1: the whole thing is batchit crazy and then the end
- 39:51Speaker 1: certainly dials things.
- 39:52Speaker 3: Up to eleven. The up to eleven.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Yeah, So it just didn't you know, there are parts
- 39:59Speaker 1: of where I think even poor Things could have like
- 40:01Speaker 1: pushed me. I could have been like out on poor things,
- 40:04Speaker 1: and I like I almost was at a point, but
- 40:06Speaker 1: I was very much in on poor things. That was
- 40:08Speaker 1: my favorite of that year. And this one just like
- 40:10Speaker 1: I got knocked off the train at some point, I
- 40:13Speaker 1: was not not back on and it just didn't.
- 40:17Speaker 4: It didn't all come together for me. But but I
- 40:19Speaker 4: respect this one, like I I'm glad this one exists.
- 40:22Speaker 1: But this was when I was going through all of
- 40:25Speaker 1: my watchings. This was one for a long time, but
- 40:27Speaker 1: I ended up being two, Okay, wow, what are your
- 40:30Speaker 1: thoughts rying?
- 40:31Speaker 3: I was this is my number four. I saw it
- 40:34Speaker 3: and I was like I am very like I feel
- 40:37Speaker 3: the same way about Luca Gladinho who did Challengers and
- 40:40Speaker 3: talk about your name with with your gross I'm very
- 40:43Speaker 3: like up and down with them. I'm like some of
- 40:45Speaker 3: them like I love this. I'm like this is fine,
- 40:47Speaker 3: like what.
- 40:47Speaker 1: Adie Juno was more like Eric I talked to Ady
- 40:49Speaker 1: Juno about it.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Yeah, he was like, I didn't love this, you know.
- 40:52Speaker 3: I my this actually was my hottest take of the
- 40:55Speaker 3: entire like thinking though it's not really with this tos
- 40:57Speaker 3: cause I actually liked this more than poor Things. I
- 41:00Speaker 3: was just really I was like wow. I just was
- 41:03Speaker 3: like because like when certain things happened, I was kind
- 41:04Speaker 3: of like, all right, I was more shocked by the
- 41:08Speaker 3: cousin than I was like, holy shit, this is fucking deranged.
- 41:12Speaker 3: And then like because like when she finally like she
- 41:18Speaker 3: dresses him down a couple of times, but when she
- 41:21Speaker 3: finally puts the nail on the coffin addressing him down,
- 41:23Speaker 3: I was like, this actually probably was a mistake by you,
- 41:26Speaker 3: because now he has nothing left, and now I was
- 41:28Speaker 3: gonna get super desperate. But then the fact that he's
- 41:30Speaker 3: like okay, I'm like, oh, you know what, maybe he's
- 41:32Speaker 3: like gonna come around and realize, like maybe I went
- 41:34Speaker 3: too far, and like you do feel bad for the
- 41:37Speaker 3: cousin because like the cousin just loves him. That's why
- 41:39Speaker 3: the coins extent for just absolutely that's the whole thing.
- 41:43Speaker 1: It's like it's in his mom, his whole his whole life,
- 41:46Speaker 1: very very tractic.
- 41:47Speaker 3: Very insane, and it's just like it's just they just
- 41:51Speaker 3: do this because a great job of like giving you
- 41:54Speaker 3: those feelings. And then when like things escalated, like it's
- 41:57Speaker 3: amazing how they just keep re escalating. You're kind of like, oh,
- 42:00Speaker 3: I didn't think we would go this way, and I
- 42:02Speaker 3: just like loved that so much. I was just so surprised.
- 42:07Speaker 3: I'm dying. This is a remake, by the way, which
- 42:09Speaker 3: is it's a movie called Save the Green Planet, and
- 42:12Speaker 3: I'm dying to see it. I can't.
- 42:13Speaker 1: Oh my god, I did not know that.
- 42:15Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no way it can be like this. There's
- 42:17Speaker 3: no there's no way. But it's I had heard of
- 42:21Speaker 3: Save the Green Planet because the guys who made Everything
- 42:25Speaker 3: Every whirl at once talked about it as an inspiration
- 42:28Speaker 3: for that movie.
- 42:29Speaker 1: It's a soft Korean film.
- 42:30Speaker 3: And I would be fascinating. I think it's I think
- 42:33Speaker 3: this is nominy for Best Adapted Screenplay. Yes, because it's
- 42:38Speaker 3: the remake.
- 42:39Speaker 1: But so the oh, there's a great clip of their
- 42:46Speaker 1: doing a press junket for this and it's it's Jesse,
- 42:51Speaker 1: Emma Stone, maybe at least you Silverstone is there and
- 42:54Speaker 1: then starv Rous is sitting at the end and a
- 42:56Speaker 1: reporter stands up and is like, I'm gonna said this
- 42:58Speaker 1: to you, and Ben he's like, Stars had question for you,
- 43:00Speaker 1: and he goes and then I'm not telling you how
- 43:02Speaker 1: to do your job and probably ask like Jesse or
- 43:05Speaker 1: Emo question please that.
- 43:07Speaker 3: So that clip is amazing. There's an entire like thirty
- 43:11Speaker 3: minute Q and A with that. That entire Q and
- 43:13Speaker 3: A is absolutely hilarious because of like, so they have
- 43:17Speaker 3: like Aiden on Aiden is the actor who plays the cousin. Yeah,
- 43:22Speaker 3: and they're just like so the Q and A guy
- 43:24Speaker 3: who doesn't like respond to any of the jokes. I
- 43:27Speaker 3: think it's very funny because like star Ross is like
- 43:29Speaker 3: keeps like saying like, please don't ask me questions because
- 43:31Speaker 3: like I'm not good enough at this to do this.
- 43:33Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, I know I got hired because I
- 43:35Speaker 1: look like this and playing that kind of character.
- 43:37Speaker 3: It's like, you guys know what happens with me, and like, ye,
- 43:38Speaker 3: this makes sense, like all this, but I love when
- 43:40Speaker 3: he talks. He's like, so the the Q and A
- 43:43Speaker 3: host is like, oh, there was a screening where if
- 43:46Speaker 3: you shaved your head at the screening you could see
- 43:48Speaker 3: the movie for free. And then the director Yogoslanthemos is
- 43:52Speaker 3: sitting next to Aiden and he's like helping him with
- 43:56Speaker 3: the questions and stuff like that, and he's like would
- 43:57Speaker 3: you do that? He's like, would you shave your head
- 43:59Speaker 3: and go to Then he's like, I mean probably not.
- 44:05Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think, and I don't think.
- 44:06Speaker 3: I don't think this movie is worth it, and fucking
- 44:08Speaker 3: star loses it. I thought it was so funny.
- 44:12Speaker 1: That's awesome. So yeah, very enjoyable, very enjoyable for me,
- 44:18Speaker 1: it was. I thought it was hilarious. I loved it. Okay,
- 44:21Speaker 1: are we moving on?
- 44:23Speaker 3: Sure? Yeah, jokey.
- 44:28Speaker 1: Next one is this is Eric's introduction. I believe Eric
- 44:33Speaker 1: had it at no. Sorry, Ryan had it at five.
- 44:37Speaker 1: Eric had it at four. I had it at three.
- 44:41Speaker 1: It is train Dreams and and and Ryan's coded list.
- 44:45Speaker 1: He called this Bunion.
- 44:48Speaker 5: There's a Lumberjack. It was it was The True Stories.
- 44:57Speaker 5: This is on Netflix. Train Dreams is on Netflix. The
- 45:01Speaker 5: director is Clint Bentley. I don't know who that is.
- 45:04Speaker 3: He had done a He is part of a similar
- 45:09Speaker 3: to the director of what's it called Last Year The Brutalist.
- 45:13Speaker 3: He is part of a directing and writing duo where
- 45:15Speaker 3: they switch off directors. Interesting, so the last guy directed
- 45:19Speaker 3: their last movie, then he directed the one before. I
- 45:21Speaker 3: have not seen anything they've done before.
- 45:23Speaker 1: This is okay. The main character is Joel yorck Ston,
- 45:28Speaker 1: who I feel like I've said this about too many people,
- 45:30Speaker 1: which is why they can't all be nominated. But I
- 45:32Speaker 1: was surprised he was nominated for a Best Actor. Yeah,
- 45:35Speaker 1: me too, man and then a ton of stuff now
- 45:38Speaker 1: But anyways, and Felicity Jones is his wife, and there's
- 45:43Speaker 1: other people. But this is based on a novella and
- 45:49Speaker 1: it's about a guy written by the director, right, Oh,
- 45:53Speaker 1: I didn't know that?
- 45:54Speaker 3: Is it? Really? I don't think I feel it was.
- 45:57Speaker 1: I could be wrongly based on Dennis Johnson's novella and
- 46:01Speaker 1: the director is not. I'm totally wrong, but yeah, Joel Edgardson,
- 46:08Speaker 1: I can't say his name, Edgarton, Edgerton like Bridger.
- 46:14Speaker 4: He's like a logger in the early nineteen hundreds and
- 46:20Speaker 4: he's like put forth as like a pretty just like
- 46:24Speaker 4: average guy, just like trying to make.
- 46:26Speaker 1: His way in the world, you know, in that time.
- 46:30Speaker 1: And yet he meets Felicity Jones and they get married
- 46:35Speaker 1: and they have a kid, and it's kind of about there.
- 46:40Speaker 1: You know, he has to keep going off for these
- 46:42Speaker 1: logging seasons and being away from home for a long
- 46:46Speaker 1: period of time. And I guess I won't like spoil anything,
- 46:50Speaker 1: but there is like one very dramatic event that happens
- 46:53Speaker 1: in this movie. There's one part where there's some narrative
- 46:58Speaker 1: voiceover which kind of bugs me frankly. But the voiceover
- 47:03Speaker 1: says like he would look back and realize later that
- 47:05Speaker 1: this was the happiest time of his life and like, ooh,
- 47:07Speaker 1: that's not good because things don't seem like that settled
- 47:11Speaker 1: for him. But it's a very beautifully shot movie, I know,
- 47:19Speaker 1: any do you know? Compared it to like Tree of
- 47:22Speaker 1: Life and all those types of movies, it's like very
- 47:25Speaker 1: kind of well, lots of shots in nature and the
- 47:28Speaker 1: camera moving around and a really I think interesting portrait
- 47:34Speaker 1: of the main character, who again it's just like a
- 47:37Speaker 1: regular logger during that time, and what his life was like,
- 47:41Speaker 1: and also the change what are the time periods of
- 47:47Speaker 1: this movie? But at the end, it's like in the sixties, right,
- 47:50Speaker 1: because it's wild to think about this man's recounts eighty
- 47:54Speaker 1: years of his life.
- 47:55Speaker 6: Yeah, but he lives from like, you know, the eighteen
- 48:00Speaker 6: hundreds to the moon landing, right, and and people did
- 48:03Speaker 6: live that time.
- 48:04Speaker 1: Span, and that's so weird, and you get to see
- 48:07Speaker 1: like different seasons, Like at first people are just like
- 48:09Speaker 1: using access to cut down the trees, and then it
- 48:11Speaker 1: becomes more industrial and like that that kind of changes,
- 48:15Speaker 1: and then yeah, at the end, he's like watching the
- 48:17Speaker 1: moon landing.
- 48:18Speaker 3: They do have that bizarre one time jump in the
- 48:21Speaker 3: middle of the movie where it shows like that modern
- 48:23Speaker 3: train going through, right, So it's kind of like but
- 48:25Speaker 3: they never go back to it for a while, so
- 48:27Speaker 3: it's kind of like because he's on it and you're like, Okay, well,
- 48:30Speaker 3: what like what is happening? I guess you're remembering like
- 48:32Speaker 3: a past life.
- 48:33Speaker 1: It was interesting, but yeah, I Brian talk.
- 48:38Speaker 3: About it more. I thought this was very good too.
- 48:40Speaker 3: Looks great. Love that this is an hour and forty minutes,
- 48:44Speaker 3: by the way, you can it is so fast. You
- 48:46Speaker 3: can fucking do it, everybody. This was really good again
- 48:50Speaker 3: like looks great, like really great performance by him, very subtle,
- 48:54Speaker 3: very quiet. It does such a good job of fooling you,
- 48:59Speaker 3: Like you said, the past of time, because like when
- 49:03Speaker 3: things are more modern. I was like, what is fucking happening?
- 49:07Speaker 3: This is very good.
- 49:08Speaker 1: I was, yeah, I was not like so yeah, So
- 49:12Speaker 1: the movie, well to talk about two things. The movie
- 49:15Speaker 1: goes back and forth between because he's a logger and
- 49:17Speaker 1: then he has to go like take a train far
- 49:20Speaker 1: away into the wilderness and then log for like months
- 49:23Speaker 1: at a time. It seems like we don't really know.
- 49:25Speaker 1: And then he comes back to his family, his wife,
- 49:27Speaker 1: who his wife is like a perfect wife, like awesome, lovely,
- 49:31Speaker 1: and he has a daughter and he loves his daughter
- 49:34Speaker 1: so much, and it's about like him going away.
- 49:37Speaker 3: She lets him leave home, Agnes.
- 49:40Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, oh that's true, that's true. Yeah, you know
- 49:43Speaker 1: she's very selfish, both of them, both Felicity Jones and
- 49:47Speaker 1: Jessy Buckley are very selfish. But you know women are
- 49:50Speaker 1: like that. So but he just really, he just doesn't
- 49:54Speaker 1: want to be away. All he wants to do is
- 49:55Speaker 1: just be at home with his wife and he loves
- 49:57Speaker 1: and his daughter. He loves them both so much. And
- 50:00Speaker 1: he's going away and logging. He has to do it
- 50:01Speaker 1: because he's no other way to make money. And both
- 50:04Speaker 1: both parts of the movie like him and with his
- 50:07Speaker 1: family and him logging. The logging I just find so
- 50:10Speaker 1: interesting because you go away and you're put with all
- 50:13Speaker 1: these strangers for like a couple of months, and then
- 50:15Speaker 1: you leave. Some of them you might never see again.
- 50:18Speaker 1: Some of them you might see the next time you
- 50:20Speaker 1: have a job. In logging, especially back then, is like
- 50:23Speaker 1: very dangerous. So like every time he goes away randomly
- 50:26Speaker 1: in one of his coworkers will die.
- 50:29Speaker 3: Yeah they did. That's so freaky because like you forget
- 50:31Speaker 3: about it almost then it happens. You're like, whoa wait a.
- 50:33Speaker 1: Minute, yeah, And and he's like I gotta stop doing this,
- 50:38Speaker 1: like I gotta figure out a way to just not
- 50:41Speaker 1: risk my life and like be with my family.
- 50:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 50:44Speaker 1: And I thought, like, the there's that scene with that
- 50:47Speaker 1: old guy who's been in a million he was in
- 50:49Speaker 1: Jassic Park three. No, not William Nacy who was in
- 50:53Speaker 1: Jurassic Park three and the character the character actor who
- 50:56Speaker 1: is in Drassic Park three who gets eaten by the
- 50:57Speaker 1: spote soars on the runway. Remember he's like crying on
- 51:00Speaker 1: the runway and he goes, don't leave without me because
- 51:02Speaker 1: they're taking off from the points first eats him. So
- 51:06Speaker 1: he's the really old guy. The Joel edit Chin is like, oh, man, like,
- 51:10Speaker 1: remember we were we used to log together like years
- 51:12Speaker 1: and years ago.
- 51:13Speaker 3: We knew way, oh my god.
- 51:15Speaker 1: And we knew we were friends with Arnah. And he
- 51:18Speaker 1: goes like, oh, yes, yeah, we were friends with arn
- 51:20Speaker 1: And that whole interaction that that's like the nail the
- 51:23Speaker 1: coffin ritual edits. It is like, oh no, I can't
- 51:25Speaker 1: be doing this anymore. I thought that was so All
- 51:28Speaker 1: the logging scenes were so interesting. But I'm really sorry,
- 51:31Speaker 1: but like I have to, I'm gonna put it. I'm
- 51:33Speaker 1: gonna start a timer in a minute. I can't talk
- 51:35Speaker 1: about this movie without spoiling it. Like I have to
- 51:38Speaker 1: talk about it. I'm gonna put a timer on for
- 51:42Speaker 1: three minutes, so you really care, you can skip ahead.
- 51:46Speaker 1: I'm gonna start at the time right now. Skip I
- 51:48Speaker 1: had three minutes starting now. So I was watching the movie,
- 51:51Speaker 1: and halfway through the movie, him and his wife come
- 51:54Speaker 1: up with this plan, like you can stop logging it,
- 51:57Speaker 1: we'll start a farm, but you have to log like
- 51:59Speaker 1: three or four more times to get enough money to
- 52:01Speaker 1: start a firm. So he comes back and there's a
- 52:04Speaker 1: wildfire and he goes to his house and his house
- 52:07Speaker 1: is completely burned down. Me watching I was beyond one
- 52:12Speaker 1: hundred percent sure that the wife and daughter did not die,
- 52:16Speaker 1: because it's like the movie's about him and his family,
- 52:19Speaker 1: and she's like, it's a beautiful little girl and loves
- 52:22Speaker 1: more than anything, and his wife he loves. And I
- 52:25Speaker 1: was like, oh, they must have like fled, but they're
- 52:27Speaker 1: gonna come back. And then he camps out at the
- 52:30Speaker 1: burn down cabin waiting for him to come back. And
- 52:33Speaker 1: I was just watching the movie and I was like,
- 52:34Speaker 1: why are they taking someone? I was one hundred percent
- 52:37Speaker 1: sure they were not dead. Did you guys think that
- 52:39Speaker 1: they were dead.
- 52:42Speaker 3: It's the fact that he didn't find them. And I
- 52:44Speaker 3: was like, because of the mercilessness of the logging, I was.
- 52:47Speaker 4: Kind of like this, And I mean one of the
- 52:49Speaker 4: scenes shows them like trying to flee and then like
- 52:51Speaker 4: falling down kind of after that.
- 52:54Speaker 1: Well, no, but that's that's in his mind. Yeah, yeah,
- 52:57Speaker 1: that was in his mind. You know. So when it's confirmed,
- 53:01Speaker 1: like like a year goes by and like they're obviously,
- 53:05Speaker 1: but the fact he doesn't even know if they're dead.
- 53:07Speaker 5: Yeah, because the fire was raging so much.
- 53:10Speaker 1: So it's beautiful little toddler and his wife. So that's
- 53:14Speaker 1: the thing is, like we're a minute and a half
- 53:15Speaker 1: into the spoiler part. I just thought about this. So
- 53:18Speaker 1: this movie haunted me like a ghost. It like rattled
- 53:21Speaker 1: me to my soul, and I couldn't stop thinking about
- 53:24Speaker 1: it for like days, if not a week. Wow, And
- 53:26Speaker 1: this almost was one for me, but it ended up
- 53:29Speaker 1: being three. But I was like, I one hundred percent
- 53:31Speaker 1: believe this. You have to kill yourself. There's no way
- 53:35Speaker 1: you go on with life. I'm being I mean completely serious.
- 53:38Speaker 6: Your wife, who you love more than anything, and your
- 53:41Speaker 6: beautiful toddler daughter who you would die for. You know
- 53:45Speaker 6: that while you were away logging, they burned to death
- 53:48Speaker 6: and agony to the point where there's no trace of
- 53:51Speaker 6: their bodies. And then you don't even know if they're
- 53:54Speaker 6: dead or not. And then it finally hits you, they're dead,
- 53:56Speaker 6: you have no other children like you, there's no.
- 54:00Speaker 1: There's nothing going for this guy. And he's like, you know,
- 54:02Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go on for the rest of my life,
- 54:04Speaker 1: like living as a red close and like driving a carriage.
- 54:07Speaker 1: I was like, no, I would one million percent kill
- 54:10Speaker 1: myself in this scenario.
- 54:11Speaker 3: How much some people don't.
- 54:12Speaker 1: We have forty five seconds.
- 54:14Speaker 3: So when the woman, the random woman shows up, who's
- 54:17Speaker 3: also in F one, you think the other the woman
- 54:22Speaker 3: who shows by his doorstep, oh, the girl, the girl,
- 54:24Speaker 3: and he's like, oh my god, this is my daughter.
- 54:27Speaker 3: I was like, holy shit, this is amazing.
- 54:29Speaker 1: I definitely didn't think it was his daughter.
- 54:31Speaker 3: I was like, I was like, wow, they would do
- 54:33Speaker 3: this to us, but like, of course.
- 54:34Speaker 1: It's I think I wanted to believe it so much.
- 54:35Speaker 1: I said, like is that her? And like yeah, And
- 54:39Speaker 1: also it's almost unclear if she if that even.
- 54:42Speaker 3: Happened, right, Yeah, that's the thing too, And that's.
- 54:44Speaker 1: The other thing that bothered me. So so okay, we're
- 54:47Speaker 1: gonna end the spoilers now. But I would just say,
- 54:50Speaker 1: so now that we're not, we're spoiler free back again.
- 54:53Speaker 1: I would say I loved this movie, but I also
- 54:55Speaker 1: hated it at the same time because he made a
- 54:59Speaker 1: choice that you you didn't make the correct choice. Well that,
- 55:02Speaker 1: but just in general the movie itself, what happens, I like,
- 55:05Speaker 1: hated it so much, but I also loved it, So
- 55:08Speaker 1: it was very odd for me. So this was all
- 55:11Speaker 1: over my list. I was like, this could be this
- 55:13Speaker 1: could be ten, this could be one. Like I just
- 55:16Speaker 1: didn't know.
- 55:16Speaker 3: It's weird.
- 55:17Speaker 1: I didn't want to know this. This one emotionally affected
- 55:21Speaker 1: me more than anything else in the list.
- 55:22Speaker 3: I thought this could have been also, like, especially because
- 55:24Speaker 3: how they end it with like him at an older age,
- 55:30Speaker 3: could have been way more. I think, almost cornier or
- 55:33Speaker 3: two Schmaltzy were like it's meant like hey kind of
- 55:37Speaker 3: like reaffirming the meaning of his existence to himself.
- 55:40Speaker 1: But the main that's my interpretation because not to go
- 55:46Speaker 1: to spoilers, but at the end, like he it goes
- 55:49Speaker 1: through his entire life. The movie is his entire life.
- 55:51Speaker 1: So the end of the movie is his death. Because
- 55:52Speaker 1: the movie is about his entire life, it's not a spoiler.
- 55:55Speaker 1: And I just like when they show sort of nobody
- 55:59Speaker 1: like discovers his body when he dies, and I just thought,
- 56:03Speaker 1: like pointless, pointless life. That's what. That was my take
- 56:07Speaker 1: at the end. I liked that.
- 56:10Speaker 4: I liked a movie totally focused on a person that's
- 56:15Speaker 4: not gonna be like struggle will be, not gonna mean
- 56:17Speaker 4: any history books. Yeah, probably no one would remember that
- 56:21Speaker 4: real person now ten years later entirely.
- 56:25Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 56:26Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's it. And I thought that was it.
- 56:28Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting to kind of give that
- 56:29Speaker 1: much attention to that kind of person. You're talking about legacy,
- 56:32Speaker 1: and I don't like. At some point, I just thought legacy.
- 56:35Speaker 7: I don't care about legacy, my legacy at all, because
- 56:39Speaker 7: I was talking about this is my parents or they
- 56:41Speaker 7: probably didn't love because they're like closer to death hopefully
- 56:44Speaker 7: than I am. And I I just said, your legacy
- 56:49Speaker 7: doesn't matter because nobody's gonna remember you, like honestly, like
- 56:54Speaker 7: like I don't, We're not gonna remember by history.
- 56:56Speaker 1: Do you know anything about your great grandparents? I don't
- 56:59Speaker 1: know anything about about them. Do you know anything about
- 57:01Speaker 1: your great great grandparents? Like you remember your grandparents in
- 57:06Speaker 1: CC's not going to know anything about my grandparents and
- 57:08Speaker 1: they're completely forgotten in history. When my parents die and
- 57:11Speaker 1: when I die, my grandparents are a race from history.
- 57:14Speaker 1: No one will be talking about them ever again. So
- 57:16Speaker 1: to me, like, I don't I don't need my name.
- 57:21Speaker 1: I want to be a good person that is like
- 57:23Speaker 1: loved by the people I know, but I'm not. I
- 57:25Speaker 1: don't care about like, oh, I want to put my
- 57:28Speaker 1: name on this bench or something. I don't know.
- 57:31Speaker 3: What if like maybe two thousand years in the future,
- 57:36Speaker 3: the symbiotic creatures exist find these recordings and they like,
- 57:41Speaker 3: what is this diarrhea?
- 57:43Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not gonna help. This is this sadly is
- 57:45Speaker 1: my legacy and yours.
- 57:47Speaker 3: Ryan, It's got your name on it. I just work here.
- 57:51Speaker 4: That's how it's interesting to think of this movie in
- 57:56Speaker 4: conversation with.
- 57:56Speaker 1: The other ones, Like there's obviously a lot of overlaps
- 57:58Speaker 1: with Hamnet, which we talked about. I thought, I think
- 58:01Speaker 1: of this one as like the anti Marty Supreme, where
- 58:05Speaker 1: like Marty Supreme, it was so like singularly driven on
- 58:08Speaker 1: this weird goal and everything is life was built like
- 58:11Speaker 1: I have to achieve this, I have to do this
- 58:12Speaker 1: for this was again just like like a kind of
- 58:14Speaker 1: anonymous guy just like going through life, like doing the
- 58:18Speaker 1: best he could with no particular you know, And I
- 58:21Speaker 1: thought that was interesting. So I know we only have
- 58:25Speaker 1: two movies left, but we're also going to talk about
- 58:28Speaker 1: like best actor and stuff, so I don't want to
- 58:30Speaker 1: do another whole hour. But we're already at an hour
- 58:33Speaker 1: for this part, so I think that we should go
- 58:35Speaker 1: to a part three. Okay, part three, Part three.
- 58:37Speaker 3: More contact. That's all we're all about, right, We're all.
- 58:39Speaker 1: About the clicks. Ryan, that's every day. Catch you on
- 58:45Speaker 1: the Christmas no oscar flip? Why that'd be a Christmas flip? Okay,
- 58:52Speaker 1: the Christmas Adventurous quote
