• 1:55
  This week, we all watched Mega Ape.
• 2:00
  It's a movie from 2023. It is on the level of cocaine
• 2:05
  crabs from outer space. I don't remember whose pick that
• 2:09
  was, but it might have been mine.
• 2:11
  Yeah, it's this creature feature is about a giant ape named
• 2:15
  Dorothy who was accidentally released from a genetic testing
• 2:18
  lab and is now terrorizing the hills of Los Angeles.
• 2:23
  Brother. And boy, boy did it.
• 2:29
  Boy did that giant ape, mega ape if you will, that's a mega sized
• 2:33
  ape. Did it terrorize those Hollywood
• 2:37
  Hills? It did something.
• 2:40
  What did you guys think? How'd you?
• 2:41
  Would you like it? Would you?
• 2:42
  Did you like it? Tell me you liked it.
• 2:44
  Did you like it? Who do you?
• 2:46
  Who do you want to go? First, who whoever wants to you
• 2:50
  want. To go first.
• 2:51
  You want me to go first to Alex? You go first.
• 2:54
  It was a movie. It it, it again, it's it's in
• 2:59
  one of those movies where it's very fun to watch with the group
• 3:03
  because of just how it is. This is a movie with some pretty
• 3:11
  if if you grew up in the 90s, you knew some of these actors
• 3:15
  like Tom Sizemore is in this film.
• 3:18
  He's in it for like 2 minutes. He's still in the movie.
• 3:21
  This dude was in Saving Private Ryan.
• 3:25
  And this is you. You mentioned that this is one
• 3:27
  of the last things he would have done.
• 3:29
  This is for sure it is. And then the woman from the Crow
• 3:34
  who plays man, the bad guy's sister, and they're like an
• 3:39
  incestuous couple. It's not good, but like
• 3:42
  whatever, she's in this, which fucked me up after Noah said so,
• 3:46
  I'm like, Oh my God, that is her.
• 3:50
  It's bad. It's a bad, awesome, good movie
• 3:54
  that I had a blast watching with my friends.
• 3:57
  The CG is just on par with PlayStation One.
• 4:02
  Oh, I have in my notes PlayStation 2 fighter pilot
• 4:06
  looking at. Dude, this.
• 4:10
  SOCOM Navy Seals. Yeah, dude, Counter strike gun
• 4:14
  sound effect. The voice overs for the pilots
• 4:18
  were hilarious. All the deaths were pretty funny
• 4:21
  and Alex pointed something out I'll let him talk about during
• 4:24
  his turn to speak. But death scenes when there's
• 4:28
  two people being chased by the mega ape, only one usually gets
• 4:32
  shown being killed. That was Logan.
• 4:35
  Oh, Logan said that. OK, well, that that's the thing
• 4:38
  in this film. I was like, why are you not
• 4:39
  showing everyone just being squashed and eaten?
• 4:42
  Everybody who was eating was eating one bite.
• 4:47
  Dorothy is dope. It's it's like I said, it's a
• 4:50
  good, bad movie that is fun to watch with your friends.
• 4:55
  Alex, it's. I'm also at a loss of words for
• 5:02
  this one, because this is because.
• 5:04
  It's so good, right? It was something.
• 5:09
  It's more than I've ever done, so I could say.
• 5:13
  It's movies like this is like, what is my excuse?
• 5:16
  Yeah. Exactly.
• 5:17
  Movies like this exist. I mean, like both of them said,
• 5:23
  it's fun just to watch with your friends because it's you just
• 5:26
  kind of unfortunately mock it the entire time, but some goofy
• 5:35
  kills wouldn't. Noah said this actually with
• 5:40
  hold on, I just had it you. Nick was talking and I fucking
• 5:44
  had it. Peeking your mic, you goof.
• 5:49
  Sorry, sorry listeners. This is professional.
• 5:54
  I love it. This movie was professional.
• 5:58
  I it was I can't I, it was hard to watch.
• 6:01
  I can't even lie for me. It was rough.
• 6:03
  It was rough. I've I've and I've watched a lot
• 6:06
  of bad movies. Well, how I so I kept comparing
• 6:10
  it to cocaine crowds from outer space because that's sort of the
• 6:14
  level of feel like this movie is on par.
• 6:16
  You think that one was better? Yes, better.
• 6:19
  I do. I do.
• 6:21
  I do. That movie was a fucking car
• 6:23
  insurance joke the whole time. That's why it was awesome.
• 6:28
  This movie ends on a fucking cliffhanger.
• 6:31
  We're never going to get resolved.
• 6:32
  Yeah, dude, we're getting the skinless Mega Ape.
• 6:36
  We're not going to. Get a result 2 point O do.
• 6:38
  You think I, I think I'm hoping that we can get mega ape versus
• 6:44
  cocaine crabs from outer space. And they can.
• 6:48
  The two can fight. I got my money on the crabs.
• 6:51
  I got my money on the cocaine crabs, dude, because they're
• 6:53
  going to get off there. Are a lot more of them.
• 6:55
  There are a lot more of them. They could swarm dude.
• 6:57
  I think it's listen, I I will I always go back to the actors
• 7:04
  looked like they were having a good time.
• 7:06
  Yes. So it it was a it's it's like I
• 7:12
  said, it's a fun movie to watch with your friends.
• 7:14
  It is very fun to watch with your friends.
• 7:17
  We were just like, we were mocking it, but it was more like
• 7:19
  a riff track. But we were like.
• 7:21
  Yeah, this is something you to watch on Mystery of Science
• 7:23
  Leader at two in the fucking morning.
• 7:25
  Oh, dude, this is something Yeah, a minute pops up on a
• 7:27
  sci-fi channel. If you're still up in your high
• 7:30
  or drunk, you're like, yeah, dude, this is this is staying
• 7:32
  on. Like this is not getting turned.
• 7:35
  Like I'm not turning this off. This is great.
• 7:37
  No, like it, dude, there is. I it, it was funny.
• 7:46
  It was a good time. Like 'cause we watched it with
• 7:48
  like a lot of the discord actually popped in and everybody
• 7:51
  stayed and watched. So like, again, it can't be that
• 7:55
  bad if ever. Like if, if a movie is bad and
• 7:58
  not funny, people will just be like, turn this bullshit off.
• 8:02
  Yeah, but this was bad, but also fun and funny and like, the idea
• 8:10
  here is kind, I think. You know what?
• 8:12
  That's what makes me so fucking mad.
• 8:14
  The idea here of like an ape, not like Planet of the Apes, but
• 8:17
  like an ape that could like, mutate or like an animal that
• 8:20
  could, like, mutate, Yeah, due to like, a science experiment
• 8:24
  gone wrong and like, just get really big.
• 8:27
  Well, it's like a it's like rampage.
• 8:30
  Yeah, yeah. Which?
• 8:33
  Is like coincidentally there was a Rampage movie with the Rock
• 8:38
  and it came out in 2018. Maybe they saw Mega Ape?
• 8:43
  Wait, wait, for the rock rampage we did just show all the like
• 8:47
  the actual animals. Yeah, there was like, so there
• 8:50
  was like a gorilla and there was like a wolf and a like a
• 8:55
  crocodile, but it was mostly by the gorilla.
• 8:58
  The big old iguana I. Don't remember that movie doing
• 9:01
  good at all. No, no, I don't think.
• 9:05
  Everyone went no, no. I think like the wolf got like
• 9:08
  wings or it became like a flying squirrel kind of thing because I
• 9:12
  remember seeing like a creature like an animal jump and like
• 9:15
  spread its arms and there was like wings and stuff.
• 9:19
  Did it? If they didn't punch the walls
• 9:21
  like this and then just like grab like a lady in the shower,
• 9:25
  then it's not a real thing. Yeah.
• 9:28
  Anyway, so we're not talking about Rampage.
• 9:29
  We're talking about. We my notes say synth 80s ape
• 9:36
  because the music was dope. Dope ass CGI in all caps mega.
• 9:42
  The title card did go hard. It did.
• 9:45
  Yeah, the title card goes hard. The credit OK 15 minutes of the
• 9:53
  movie is beginning and end credits.
• 9:57
  Yeah, this movie is an hour and 12 minutes, and 15 of those
• 10:02
  minutes are spent credits. Either either for some reason at
• 10:06
  the beginning it's a black screen with names and then at
• 10:10
  the end it's like a freeze frame of the character with the name.
• 10:14
  Like, why so much at the beginning of the film?
• 10:16
  Like in the beginning, like that's what I was like, dude,
• 10:19
  why would you? And then like there was parts
• 10:21
  like where it droned on or like we all went, OK, get to it.
• 10:26
  And there's like this whole monologue portion that we were
• 10:28
  just Noah at one point brought up Dune.
• 10:32
  And I was like, that's great. This is it was so long though.
• 10:36
  It goes on for so long. And they like become monkey
• 10:41
  dudes. The.
• 10:42
  Freezing of there's one scene specifically.
• 10:46
  Nick caught it. I don't know if anyone else
• 10:49
  caught it, but like she was at the the chick from the Crow was
• 10:52
  at the bar. She's at the bar.
• 10:54
  And then like, oh, the beer bar, The beer bar, yeah, a news story
• 11:00
  comes on and like, it looks like, like she stopped what
• 11:05
  she's doing. But no, it's like they just hit
• 11:07
  pause and editing and then. Hard.
• 11:09
  Cut the. Fucking.
• 11:12
  Out the editing was really, really bad right there.
• 11:14
  What are you? Going to do.
• 11:15
  It was, it was like I was like what?
• 11:17
  It looked super. They could have.
• 11:18
  They could have done that. It looked really, really
• 11:20
  unnatural. That was like, you guys are
• 11:23
  fuckers. No, dude, I look, I know what
• 11:27
  this this movie is. I what led me to choose it was I
• 11:32
  saw the the image for it on screen box.
• 11:36
  It was in a category and it showed like a little bit of the
• 11:41
  trailer and it showed one shot of the ape.
• 11:44
  And I was like, that's the pic. And it's funny because in that
• 11:48
  shot it looks like a gorilla, but in this is mostly a
• 11:50
  chimpanzee. Yeah, dude.
• 11:54
  Right, No, they they like focused heavy on the gorillas at
• 11:56
  the very beginning. Yeah, and there was like there
• 11:59
  was like 3 minutes of just planet Earth gorilla footage.
• 12:03
  Which was dope. It was sweet and I was like I
• 12:06
  tricked these guys into watching planet Earth with me.
• 12:09
  I was fine with it, but then it. Became the the Mega Ape.
• 12:13
  Mega. Size the director.
• 12:16
  Of this. They, Oh my God, they must have
• 12:19
  paid a premium for that drone footage because they're going to
• 12:22
  use a lot of it and you're going to see it.
• 12:23
  You're going. To see all.
• 12:24
  Of it. And then, like you were saying,
• 12:27
  it looks like it's shot in a town in Ohio.
• 12:31
  Yeah, it. Was weird.
• 12:32
  But you know, the director of this, Dustin Ferguson, he
• 12:38
  directed a or. No, he didn't direct it.
• 12:42
  He was an editor on 1992 Sleepaway Camp 4.
• 12:49
  What? The one the one that never got
• 12:50
  released. Yep, no.
• 12:58
  No. Well.
• 13:00
  The one that never got released. He's still doing it.
• 13:03
  But, you know, yeah, he's, he's, he's got a lot of other credits.
• 13:06
  It looks like he's only done movies like this like this one.
• 13:15
  Big bad CGI monsters. That's what it's called.
• 13:21
  Yeah, it's. We're watching that.
• 13:24
  That's. Great.
• 13:24
  If it's on screen box, then we'll absolutely watch that.
• 13:27
  We're just gonna watch that in our own time.
• 13:29
  Yeah, dude. Oh yeah.
• 13:31
  Oh my God. Noah Dean, Ebony.
• 13:37
  Noah's facts. Noah's Corner.
• 13:41
  Some people think that the budget for this movie might have
• 13:43
  been as low as $35 when when I just looking into Google, when I
• 13:51
  just typed that into Google like the budget it says anywhere
• 13:55
  between 35 and $1000 and I'm thinking.
• 14:01
  No, because the actors on there, dude.
• 14:03
  Yeah, how much money do they have to spend on that guy's skin
• 14:07
  mask, you know? Yeah, dude, that guy was
• 14:10
  terrifying. He looks.
• 14:12
  Like he looks like Michael Jackson.
• 14:14
  Yeah, they did those. They looked.
• 14:15
  That looked like a real joint. There was.
• 14:17
  Like here we'll give you a joint, you say a couple of these
• 14:19
  lines. Yeah, you gotta talk about a big
• 14:22
  fucking ape, man. Big fucking ape, man.
• 14:27
  There's that's a big ape, it's a mega ape.
• 14:30
  It's a mega ape. He.
• 14:31
  Has this like random this random?
• 14:33
  Yeah, he was like, he was like cosplaying as the hunter from
• 14:37
  the the trapper guy from Jurassic Park.
• 14:43
  Listen. Listen.
• 14:46
  Movie has it all man, that's all I'm saying.
• 14:48
  Like. It does who?
• 14:50
  Needs your multi $1,000,000 budget movies when people are
• 14:54
  out there making this with 1000 dollars $1000 in a dream and
• 14:59
  somebody who knows the cousin of Tom Sizemore probably.
• 15:03
  Yeah. So it's got to be something like
• 15:05
  that. And then I, I don't know, man.
• 15:08
  I don't know if Noah, I want to hear your actual rating on this
• 15:12
  film. One out of five.
• 15:17
  Dude, this movie's so bad. Dude, OK, OK, OK.
• 15:23
  I was going to give it a one, but I was I wanted to give it a
• 15:26
  one. I was going to give it a two to
• 15:27
  be nice. Let's.
• 15:29
  Just let's move. It gets a one dude, it gets a.
• 15:35
  It gets a. It gets a.
• 15:36
  It gets a 5 on the very fun with friends meter though.
• 15:41
  I yeah, watch it with your friends, you know, do whatever
• 15:45
  you're going to do. Watch it with your friends.
• 15:47
  This is. Not if I would have.
• 15:49
  This is not a movie to watch by yourself.
• 15:51
  You watch it by yourself. You're going to have the worst
• 15:52
  time ever. I feel high after watching that
• 15:55
  movie. You might have the What was the
• 15:59
  scientist? He was like, everybody's going
• 16:01
  to get the like the giant. Giganticism.
• 16:04
  Yeah, yeah, giganticism. Alex.
• 16:10
  Is it's? Oh fuck dude.
• 16:12
  Listen, listen, it's good. Thank you.
• 16:14
  No one. Do you want to talk about your
• 16:16
  movie more? The movie, the work speaks for
• 16:21
  itself. You know what I mean?
• 16:25
  All right, look, all I'm gonna say is film.
• 16:27
  Filmmaking is not dead, OK? Don't let anybody try to tell
• 16:30
  you that filmmaking is dead. Martin Scorsese has fuck all on
• 16:33
  this film, dude. You want to make a movie, just
• 16:36
  fucking make a movie. I mean, yeah, let's do it.
• 16:39
  OK, whatever it came from, Screen box presents a new screen
• 16:42
  box original. There's three guys in the room.
• 16:46
  We could do something fun like that.
• 16:47
  Three guys in the room. It's just us being like on a
• 16:51
  call, getting killed. This this movie is like.
• 16:56
  That's a good movie. It's a.
• 16:57
  Good pitch. It's not quite to the to the
• 17:02
  caliber of like a birdemic. No, yeah.
• 17:07
  I, I think it's like what this movie hopes that it is, is all
• 17:11
  of the like piranha and giant shark and crocodile movies that
• 17:15
  you would see on like Spike TV in the early 2000s.
• 17:21
  They would always be playing in like on the dive bar TV's, you
• 17:26
  know the. Ones I just feel like Tommy
• 17:28
  Wiseau could have filmed this movie and it would have been a
• 17:30
  little like a 2.5 out of five because at least he'd be in it.
• 17:34
  He'd be like, Oh my God, his giant ape.
• 17:37
  His. Oh, hi, giant ape.
• 17:40
  Hi. Oh man.
• 17:41
  Well, that's that's Mega Ape. Thank you screen.
