1:46
we we were joined by nick uh not nick but nick
1:50
and also nick and myself nick uh we talked about
1:55
1994 street fighter which was a classic like
1:59
uh just a super recap jean -claude van damme
2:04
as guile we had uh m bison played by the the
2:12
beautiful raw julia his final film yeah he took
2:19
it on because his kids liked the the game and
2:22
he thought that would be the best way to kick
2:25
the bucket cool i like that for him and you know
2:30
uh chung lee and those other characters uh that
2:32
movie cammy yeah she was cammy good cammy cammy
2:36
she was a good cammy yeah yeah oh yeah but also
2:39
on the right side of action yeah yeah that's
2:42
we'll get into that uh but today 2026 street
2:46
fighter uh i've been drinking i'm gonna i'm just
2:50
gonna preface that it's fine It's cool to talk,
2:53
guys. Hey, real talk. Look, transparency. Radical
2:55
transparency is what moves relationships forward.
2:58
It's what creates trust. It's vulnerable. But
3:01
you know what? It's beautiful. Within that vulnerability,
3:03
we find a bridge to tomorrow. Okay. Well, within
3:06
Nick's, guys, I'd like to hold hands for two
3:08
seconds. Yeah. Yep. All right. Let's do it. Hey,
3:12
guys. Hey. Howdy. I've had a few beers tonight.
3:16
Sure. We saw Street Fighter. It was in 40X. We're
3:20
going to talk about 40X. What they didn't have
3:21
in 1994. Yeah, they did not. Not have 40X. I
3:25
don't know how they would have presented this
3:26
film. Well, I think the 1994 equivalent would
3:29
be sitting in front of a bunch of 10 -year -old
3:32
boys who just kicked the back of your seat and
3:34
spit on you. That's so cool. For two hours. I
3:36
love that. I think that's what it was. I love
3:37
that for us. So we'll talk about 40X. We'll talk
3:41
about this movie briefly. I don't want to get
3:44
to a point where we're going to spoil things.
3:48
I think we can. I think we've got enough that
3:50
we can fill out this film. I don't think you
3:52
can spoil it. Yeah. I don't think it's a spoiler.
3:55
This is a movie that is a that is experienced.
3:58
OK. You know what I mean? Like you can tell somebody
4:02
the entire plot and it won't have a fucking difference
4:04
about how they experience it. Is it because you're
4:06
just going to describe Street Fighter? Yeah.
4:08
Well, game to them. Street Fighter two. Sorry.
4:10
Street Fighter two. The game to them. So what
4:13
would. struck me about this it reminds me of
4:15
like the first gi joe movie that came out in
4:17
like 2005 2006 and this movie really felt like
4:21
13 year olds playing street fighter and then
4:25
at the same time imagining what a street fighter
4:27
movie would be hold on wait are you talking about
4:30
gi joe with the mech suits or are you talking
4:34
about gi joe with bruce willis playing like oh
4:38
no because that's the one that was really just
4:40
like gi joe fan yeah like fan fiction it just
4:45
had that same vibe of like we're just going to
4:48
act like it's a bunch of like teenage boys who
4:50
are coming up with a plot on the fly and everything
4:53
is just sort of like vibing off of that yeah
4:55
and even then fairly competently made movie this
4:58
is one of my favorite uh film i don't know is
5:02
it a trope is it like just a thing that's happening
5:05
right now but we have fantastic fan service millennial
5:12
films coming out i love the he -man film love
5:18
to this i love the mortal combat movies that
5:22
have been they've been doing it's like i mean
5:24
they're certainly darker but carl urban as fucking
5:27
uh johnny johnny yeah but unfortunately it's
5:31
a dog nut puncher johnny cage but the problem
5:33
is it's the dog shit business model because like
5:35
millennials don't go watch movies we sit around
5:37
in our houses that's what i was wondering was
5:39
this for us it's gotta be for us it was like
5:42
90s nostalgia for gen we're all we're all oh
5:46
do you think the gen xers are coming out we're
5:48
all 80s born right yeah yeah so like this is
5:51
this is definitely for us this is bringing millennials
5:54
back to the theater i think that's what this
5:57
is really a push to kind of do like i mean they
6:01
gotta entice us somehow yeah and so 40 40 x street
6:06
fighter movies 40 x street fighter films where
6:09
you get the option of turning the water off on
6:12
your face i love water face there is a button
6:15
but that's the only option you could opt in or
6:18
out of the only option is the is the miss and
6:21
according to my teammate josie it didn't matter
6:26
she got wet too i was like i had it turned off
6:30
wet all over well it seemed to come from the
6:32
sky like just descend as mist from the ceiling
6:36
hit us yeah because we were isolated something's
6:40
like squirter in front of you there was a squirter
6:44
it seemed like it came from all around so i did
6:47
not sign a paperwork for a front squirter so
6:50
although the best use of it i think was whatever
6:53
that santa movie was where the 40x just was punching
6:58
and squirting and blowing during the trailers
7:01
during the trailer yeah what's his face but no
7:05
not in reaction to anything it's like it was
7:08
that weird uncle yeah david harbour santa movie
7:11
yeah everyone was spilling their beer slaying
7:14
twice yeah i spilled my beer on myself at least
7:16
once today because the 40x is not oh it's kind
7:20
of moving a little bit like nobody expects the
7:23
40x you all were on like a a row of seats that
7:26
were moving independently on hydraulics we were
7:28
on another row moving independently they were
7:31
like somebody was kicking us in our lower back
7:33
there were little rubber things smacking you
7:35
in the back of the tiny little straw that would
7:37
like tickle your yeah key points oh you guys
7:40
you guys got ankle shit but also i mean i had
7:43
my feet up the whole time i don't i just don't
7:46
want to know what it's like to get this shit
7:48
kicked out of me by legendary fighters yeah i'm
7:51
good yeah it's uh it's a wild experience uh the
7:56
40x um Yeah, we accidentally ended up in a 40X
8:01
film because our producer bought us tickets for
8:05
a 40X film. Producing. Yep. We got 40X money
8:10
around here. I don't mean to flex on all y 'all,
8:12
but 40X bucks, at least. Well, Hollywood did
8:18
whatever it could for 10 years to just not make
8:21
better movies. Yeah. It's like, what gimmicks
8:23
can we use to get people to come see dog shit?
8:26
by the way this is not a dog shit movie this
8:28
is very clear i'm gonna go out and say this is
8:30
a fantastic film i'm curious nick what do you
8:33
think i loved it i loved it like it was just
8:37
weird and you know was it serious was it not
8:42
serious like every time something would kind
8:44
of feel like yeah they're getting serious the
8:46
not serious this is so serious to me i took it
8:50
all to heart i believed every fucking minute
8:54
of magic fireball hands eric andre yeah eric
9:00
andre what was his name dan uh not dan savage
9:04
that would savage yeah he's great uh everybody's
9:09
having a great time in this movie you can tell
9:11
50 cent really enjoyed making this because everybody's
9:14
having a fucking great time it's also a very
9:16
handmade movie you know like it's it's props
9:20
it's yeah uh sets you know there's some cgi sure
9:24
sure yeah but like when like chun li gets toppled
9:28
over by bricks and she gets up later you can
9:30
obviously tell it's like foam yeah silly stupid
9:33
and there was like moments like this feels like
9:35
a movie from 1995 exactly really like close -ups
9:38
of people being and it takes place in 1993 one
9:42
year before the original film came out too like
9:47
uh man i mean they one of them like that that's
9:51
great i think they did i think they're like you
9:53
know what one year prior And then now maybe this
9:56
is the new universe. The Jean -Claude Van Damme
9:58
is the sequel. Street Fighter 2 will come out.
10:02
This Street Fighter. Be in 1994. Take place.
10:05
Man, I hope so. There is a cliffhanger at the
10:08
end. They do. You guys all left. Of course. There's
10:12
a mid -credits scene. Yeah. We were racing to
10:15
get to the babysitter. Yeah, not me. Not you.
10:18
Okay. I don't fucking care about kids. So. Not
10:21
my kids. Oh, yeah. For anybody listening, I'd
10:24
be curious. Very quick. Spoiler. So Ken and Ryu
10:27
are unlikely friends who become more or less
10:31
karate brothers after they join each other in
10:34
Japan through auspicious circumstances. This
10:37
is all done through, I thought, really effective
10:40
use of animation where they were doing things
10:42
that you just could not do without it seeming
10:44
ridiculous. Yeah, we're going to have to address
10:46
that. Ryu beats Saget in the first. Like World
10:51
Championship Tournament. If you're not a Street
10:53
Fighter fan, you know what it is. Just go fucking
10:55
figure it out yourself. He's got an iPad. And
10:56
then we fast forward rapidly. Six years later,
10:59
that tournament has broken the friendship. Ryu's
11:02
gone off because he tapped into an ancient evil.
11:05
He makes shitty ramen now. And then we find out
11:07
that M. Bison, who is played by an actor whose
11:11
name. His name is so cool. I had to practice
11:13
saying it on the way here and I forgot. David
11:16
Delsmashian, who does so many things. Delsmashian.
11:18
Whatever. He does so many things I love. And
11:21
he plays in Bison and in Bison is like, like
11:24
sucking power off of fighters. i'm gonna say
11:28
sucking powers off he's psyching that psycho
11:32
power to the 94 yeah movie yeah i think so yeah
11:35
which is like there's like a there's like there's
11:38
a there's like a little like gauge that shows
11:39
the psycho power uh so anyway so he's power off
11:43
because he's just a despot and that's what despots
11:45
do we don't really know why he is oh there was
11:50
a lot of foot smelling find a warrior powerful
11:58
enough to fill his psycho power gauge so he can
12:01
be the most powerful warrior uh he creates the
12:04
second world tournament to lure ryu back into
12:07
competing because the because he's got so much
12:09
on the hoda power hoda power right the lady who
12:13
was the uh co -host i do yeah that was lady who
12:16
was the co -host of the fifth hour of like uh
12:17
the morning show yeah that's right that's for
12:20
50 plus women who listen to the show uh so anyway
12:23
they lure him back ryu and then a whole like
12:26
rogues gallery if people show up if you're not
12:29
familiar familiar with the games then why are
12:31
you even if you're not familiar with the game
12:32
why are you even watching this fucking love joe
12:34
joe was there joe you just get all these people
12:36
they come in they do a tournament chun li looks
12:38
better than any human being has ever looked in
12:40
the history of humanity at this point and then
12:43
um yeah they just kind of fight and shoot fireballs
12:46
and say funny things and are winky and tongue
12:49
-in -cheek and say silly shit and it's fucking
12:51
hilarious it's a really funny movie yeah yeah
12:53
And I think I thought the fight scenes were fun,
12:56
too. So the fight scenes were very fun, but I
12:59
felt kind of limited, obviously. I mean, like
13:03
there must be a budgetary limitation because
13:06
everything felt very kind of closely shot as
13:09
far as action goes and pretty quickly resolved.
13:13
But yeah, I mean, the fights, not the highlight
13:17
of the film, the characters. How weird is this?
13:22
The final fight was that one. It built to some
13:27
really good fights. Plus the soundtrack was...
13:30
As a guy who loves four non -blondes. Offspring
13:38
and White Zombie. It was such a good early 90s
13:44
kind of just jam. Did anyone else watch the...
13:48
the preview or the trailer sorry the trailer
13:50
to this uh movie i've seen a few trailers i've
13:53
i've been excited for because they play the the
13:55
four non -blondes two years yeah and it's like
13:57
oh this is they're just it's like the classic
13:59
slowed down everybody wants to do four non -blondes
14:04
in their trailer and i was like is this this
14:06
is a this is a strange choice um and then figuring
14:09
out that it was like an obvious like hilarious
14:11
choice yeah it kind of felt like you know when
14:17
they made the adams family and the brady bunch
14:19
they're like oh this is better than it should
14:20
be you know i mean it's like a little bit more
14:22
contemporary a little bit more like aware of
14:24
itself and i think that is just like that they
14:27
did that incredibly well um the best thing is
14:30
it's just a bunch of actors who are really fun
14:32
to watch being charming the whole time everybody's
14:35
charming cody rhodes is charming as hell yeah
14:38
for somebody who i don't know spoiler doesn't
14:40
get a whole lot of screen time cody rhodes for
14:44
guile fucking incredible i think they set him
14:47
up really well for the next one if they make
14:49
a next one yeah yeah yes it's also an incredibly
14:53
horny movie oh my god everybody is so close to
14:57
kissing or having mid orgasms the whole time
15:01
it's pretty great it's pretty great no i'm really
15:03
looking forward to that cammy chungley like yeah
15:06
bathhouse fight what is that when m bison is
15:10
uh is wiping off ken's face after he's like you
15:13
stupid beautiful handsome wonderful boy what
15:18
was that bro i don't know but it's beautiful
15:20
and i love it he plays it like if he's jeff goldblum
15:24
or something yeah yeah ah yes uh ah psycho power
15:28
from you i don't know i think there's something
15:32
about just being bison that gives you such like
15:36
a homoerotic like pass like you can do and say
15:40
whatever you want because i mean you just have
15:43
all this ultimate power like i mean eventually
15:46
of himself too yes again a painting of m bison
15:52
floating so good it's really fun he had a great
15:55
time the whole time i was like what is he doing
15:57
like who is this character And he's just like
15:59
every single surface level dictator character
16:04
you've ever seen in a movie. He's like, he's
16:05
playing all of them simultaneously. He's just
16:07
like the snail scene where he couldn't get the
16:10
snails out. It's mad. He eats a whole snail.
16:14
Yeah. Yeah. Just super upset. Just bringing back
16:17
the Tuesday line. Just this is, this is the day.
16:22
Just a Tuesday. Look for me. It's Tuesday. Yeah.
16:27
love it yeah great homages back to the original
16:31
and also like i felt like just a really good
16:35
kind of like separation like it's a pretty plot
16:39
thin film i'm just gonna say it's a pretty plot
16:42
thin film there's a fight and maybe there's like
16:47
a b story likely but it is Just done to the fucking
16:53
nines. It's entertaining throughout. Nobody stops.
16:57
Eric Andre, he's just like an abused commentator.
17:04
He's just such a shit. An ESPN commentator that
17:06
offended M. Bison so much that he was imprisoned.
17:11
Just a douchebag the whole time. Yep. Yelling
17:14
and being belligerent. But he gets his bass skills
17:17
in at one point, which is really fun. Like you
17:19
see him playing upright bass. I loved him the
17:21
whole film. Like he did not stop playing the
17:27
whole, whole fucking film. Everybody's just gnawing
17:30
on the scenery in the best way possible. You
17:32
know what I mean? Like it's nothing is too much.
17:34
Everybody's just kind of sitting right where
17:35
they need to be. But like every moment is really
17:37
like maximized. I'm always bummed out when I
17:40
see Jason Momoa in a movie. Like, yeah, he's
17:43
just not good. And he's always Jason Momoa. He
17:45
played Blanca. Yeah. Or Jim, I guess. Is that
17:48
right? And you know what? Had a pretty good insane
17:51
with Jimmy Ryu. Jimmy. Jimmy. Yeah. I think there's
17:55
20 minutes you could have easily cut out this
17:56
movie. And it would all be Blanca. Yeah. Which
17:59
is fine. I love Blanca. I love Blanca as a character,
18:02
by the way. Didn't add a thing. Yeah. I mean,
18:05
it's silly. It's going to come back eventually.
18:07
I'm sure we're going to get a Street Fighter
18:09
2. Okay, nope, nope, never mind. Blanket cartwheel
18:14
justifies the entire character. You could have
18:17
cut out probably some of the Interpol stuff because
18:21
they didn't introduce that at all. That was really
18:23
weakly done. That's like 30 seconds over an entire
18:26
film. But there's like a couple of times we go
18:28
back to animation. I'm like, we don't have to
18:30
go back to it. I get you, right? I get the plot.
18:32
I know where we are. But the animation was done
18:36
really well. So I was never upset to be back
18:38
in that scene. So if I had to choose like shitty
18:43
flashback or animated anime Street Fighter flashback,
18:49
I'm going to take Street Fighter flashback. Come
18:52
on, fuck. It's so fucking good. Ken is kind of
18:56
the Johnny Cage of this movie, which I appreciated
19:00
the direction they took. canon unlike the 94
19:03
ryu and ken are the main characters of this not
19:06
now we have like a little bit of a separation
19:08
we've got a little bit of friction i kind of
19:10
missed i missed guile i mean guile more guile
19:13
for me i mean that hair was immaculate and yeah
19:16
it's so good now um i do still regret not getting
19:19
that popcorn bucket the one thing i really enjoy
19:22
is um how many personal insults were lobbed at
19:25
people so like cody rhodes as a as a wrestler
19:29
just is really good at like just cutting promos.
19:33
Kyle is basically cutting promos the entire movie.
19:35
You don't see him fight like one time. If that.
19:39
But Ken's assistant or best friend or whatever,
19:42
what does he call him? You sister kisser. He
19:45
goes, you're lucky there's so much oxygen between
19:47
us. He goes, he inhales in, walks right up to
19:51
him, gets within kissing distance of him and
19:53
goes, listen here, you sister kisser. That is
19:55
fantastic. Like it is just really good energy.
19:58
It's weird. Yeah. that was the main thing they're
20:02
just weird weird everybody's so weird in this
20:05
movie everybody is no one is like oh i'm cool
20:07
maybe ryu's like oh i'm the cool one he's weird
20:10
enough yeah to make it fun but yeah e honda uh
20:13
that very short very short disappointed on the
20:17
lack of yeah i could have done more i could have
20:20
done with more e honda that's for sure uh but
20:23
he got his moves in i feel like he was able to
20:25
oh yeah and that steamy bath like that thousand
20:27
hand slap they actually executed it really well
20:30
in my opinion that's the scene that won me over
20:33
yeah i was kind of on the fence i was like all
20:35
right where's this going yeah i can see what
20:37
they're doing but the e honda scene i was like
20:39
all right we're gonna have a good time yeah it's
20:41
gonna be fun even if this is not like how the
20:43
like a character in the film like yeah they did
20:47
it really well it was a flying headbutt the thousand
20:49
slap oh yeah it did really funny they they did
20:53
the bathhouse scene which is great like they
20:55
they recreated that level right they they did
20:57
a lot of really good fan service as you mentioned
21:00
but yeah that was the scene i'm like all right
21:01
these are people who know what they're doing
21:03
we're having a really good time from this point
21:04
forward did you guys ever play a game with akuma
21:06
in it do you remember akuma Like, I remember
21:09
him being a character in Street Fighter, but
21:12
never when I was, like, playing the game. So,
21:16
again, I was also wondering if there were other
21:18
characters that were, like, from video games
21:20
that I just hadn't played. I never got a chance
21:22
to be Dan Habeke. I mean, Kami's from After 2.
21:27
Kami comes in after. Yeah. I never knew Akuma.
21:31
Like, I was talking to Peter. I was like, you
21:33
know, it's the same thing as what happened to
21:34
Mori. you know just easy like oh that's the bigger
21:36
bad that yeah if i remember right akuma was like
21:39
the like final secret boss or whatever on two
21:43
two is a weird one because there were also like
21:46
so many like two plus kind of things like two
21:49
was not turbo super street fighter so there were
21:52
a lot of other like it's like japanese uh game
21:55
makers name their games like they name their
21:57
cars or they get an addition and they just keep
22:00
adding yeah street fighter 2 street fighter 2
22:03
turbo super street fighter 2 yeah yeah right
22:07
we're on the right we're on the same chassis
22:08
for a while yeah i get it it's fine there was
22:10
one particular like m bison uh female uh fighter
22:15
with a stick fem bison fem bison i was really
22:18
wondering if she was like someone that i just
22:20
didn't recognize because oh yeah who was that
22:22
she had a name i kind of like she was harsh she
22:25
got me to attention every time this is a horny
22:28
very let's let's let's double back on this is
22:31
a very horny movie uh and it's also it's not
22:33
a it's not exactly a straight movie you know
22:36
what i mean like it is it is it is equal opportunity
22:39
horny across the board pan horny pan horny yes
22:42
i would say pan horny is exactly horny for all
22:44
there's a scene that starts with in bison washing
22:47
ryu's feet and kind of smelling them yeah was
22:51
he like unconscious and then like ryu comes to
22:54
comes to uh consciousness like bison washing
22:58
and smelling feet suddenly walks into a steamy
23:02
shower slowly turns around and we zoom into e
23:07
honda's pectorals that's a good good transition
23:10
uh okay here's a weird casting uh orville peck
23:15
was orville peck was vega that's perfect yeah
23:18
how fucking genius genius i did not know that
23:23
i did not know that that was so cool yeah so
23:26
we had orville peck vega we had uh dan cool ass
23:30
name bison uh david i love what else has he been
23:37
in so he was in dream scenario with nicholas
23:41
cage so that's our nicholas cage connection he
23:44
was the first one i think movie would remembered
23:47
him in was uh the uh dark knight so he was the
23:52
uh the guy who like batman finds it's like a
23:54
cop who's like cackling but he was in a really
23:56
great movie not too long ago called um midnight
23:59
with the devil yes josey loved that she remembers
24:03
he plays like a talk show host who brings on
24:07
like an exorcist and brings the devil into the
24:10
entire studio it's really good it's really weird
24:12
like 70s kind of talk show stuff he runs that'd
24:16
be awesome it looked really fun he has a great
24:19
instagram uh called grave confessions where he
24:22
interviews people where they're both lying down
24:24
in coffins oh nice he's really good with cody
24:26
roads like they're friends and they talk about
24:28
this movie all that kind of stuff so strong recommend
24:31
yeah he had a good energy yeah like he really
24:34
the role was everybody he really nailed that
24:39
m bison kookiness i leaned over to peter at one
24:42
point i was like it's like if uh harry dean stanton
24:45
was playing in bison just kind of this weird
24:48
lynchian kind of like i'm just gonna i'm just
24:51
gonna open the space nobody's gonna tell me what
24:53
i'm doing with this so i'm just gonna be out
24:55
there he does have a little bit of a he has a
24:57
bit of a bobby peru in him He has a little Bobby
25:00
Peru in him. He has a tent, not total Bobby Peru,
25:03
but he has a little like, ah. Well, yeah. He
25:05
has a lot of time rolling his eyes back and forth.
25:06
I'll say there's absolutely nothing stopping
25:08
this M. Bison, just like there's absolutely nothing
25:11
standing in the way of Bobby Peru. There was
25:14
like, the references were from millennials, the
25:17
time periods were millennial, and all that kind
25:19
of stuff, but it also just felt like a movie
25:21
made in 1994, 93, 94, right? It felt like Secret
25:24
of the U's. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That kind of like,
25:28
yeah punching energy that sort of just kind of
25:32
kept going the the the jokes a lot of handmade
25:36
stuff not too much cgi yep like there's a there's
25:40
a big henchman scenes who are just faceless idiots
25:43
who get beat up like nonsense like it's great
25:45
yeah it's like foot clan nonsense it's great
25:47
the 40x experience was something just like literally
25:52
getting kicked the entire film and like thrown
25:56
around And on a mild but aggressive at the same
26:01
time roller coaster that spits on you. Yeah.
26:05
I don't bring my kids to it. Yeah. Not this movie.
26:08
Right. To a movie with. Sure. 40. Honestly, it's
26:12
probably cheaper to just like bring a hooker
26:14
than to buy a 40 X experience film. Like just
26:18
bring a hooker to just to be like, hey, spit
26:21
on me a little bit. Like, yeah, I'll buy you
26:25
your own ticket. You. two tickets and a hooker
26:29
probably cheaper than a 40x experience and she's
26:32
gonna spit on you and it's gonna be fun that
26:34
is a good cost saving idea especially for my
26:37
kids hey girl I'm just getting you for an hour
26:40
and a half you get to watch this film kids you
26:44
can kick my seat you can spit on me you can just
26:48
do whatever you want so so basically we're both
26:51
gonna like this the part of the 40x experience
26:53
by your own popcorn to you the most that's that's
26:55
tells you a lot about who you are as a person
26:57
so you're you're a spit on guy yeah that was
27:00
yeah i like that i turned i I was water off and
27:03
then I turned water on and I never looked back.
27:06
My thing was the little rubber hoses that hit
27:08
the back of your caps. That was your favorite
27:10
or least favorite? That was the thing. I was
27:11
like, I might pay somebody for that. Yeah, okay,
27:13
shit. I wish I had known that that was an experience
27:16
because I had my feet up because we were like
27:18
front aisle. That was my least favorite part.
27:20
The little straw to the back of the ankles. That's
27:23
what I'm saying though. This is a wonderful little
27:25
test for you to understand more about yourself.
27:27
Was it representing like being shocked? Was it
27:29
representing like running? It was representing
27:32
the edge of a budget for an experience. What
27:36
about the little like breath in your... Oh, yeah.
27:40
Yeah. Yeah. Left, right. Left, right. I loved
27:44
the lights coming on over here for electricity.
27:49
And then there would be like the fog machine
27:51
that would come up in the corners. Where do they
27:53
hide all of this? There was so much smoke in
27:55
this movie. There's no way you could have been
27:57
fogging a machine like a machine. If it all just
27:59
smelled like feet, I'd be pretty cool with that
28:01
because I because honestly, a the film is horny
28:04
for feet and be popcorn makes me farty. So I
28:07
did definitely rip one or two times, but I always
28:11
waited until the sea was beating me up and I
28:13
would blame the person behind me. Yeah, it's
28:16
his stinky feet. I love getting punched in my
28:18
lumbar. oh man i wish somebody would take some
28:21
attention to my lumbar someone said that just
28:23
spit on me covid sprayed in my face every but
28:26
the best part was uh every time somebody would
28:28
go and get a new drink and come back and like
28:30
just be like i if you've never done 40x and you're
28:34
listening to this i cannot explain how violent
28:36
it is it is like the seat does not want you in
28:39
what is the experience though because i didn't
28:42
leave to get another drink but what is the experience
28:44
of coming back and seeing your seat moving around
28:47
i wish i knew i could not sit down and have another
28:51
drink after like getting up one so you do just
28:55
like jumping you like wait for it wait for it
28:57
the only thing that i think most people can relate
28:59
to it's like when you get a drink and then you
29:02
have a lot of turbulence on an airplane okay
29:05
yeah it's like that it was like basically the
29:07
seat belt sign was on the entire time and we
29:09
just kept getting up getting more drinks and
29:11
like that was the vibe because it was just i
29:13
could not sit up for more than like two minutes
29:15
it did shake you down oh yeah yeah i felt less
29:20
than after watching this film it's like this
29:23
film beat me down to a less than situation where
29:26
i was just like oh no of course for you yeah
29:28
but uh yeah getting back into my seat for me
29:36
felt like getting back onto a treadmill that's
29:41
moving after i took a crap and totally forgot
29:45
how to run and then i have to like get back and
29:47
i look at it it's like okay i'm gonna get on
29:49
this i'm gonna run but running is sitting down
29:52
also so it's like i have to be ready to move
29:55
and fucking stop yeah get punched that's a 40x
29:59
experience when you have to pee mid -movie so
30:02
don't do it I think absolutely just pee on the
30:05
floor. I think the best I looked over and Josie
30:08
was sitting next to you and she was just on the
30:10
edge of her seat and like just being rocked around.
30:12
And she had this annoyed look on her face. Oh
30:14
yeah. No, she just goes like, all it does is
30:16
hurt my back. What is, what are we doing here?
30:19
Whoa. She's like bouncing around. She gave up
30:23
on it super fast. She's like, I fucking can't
30:25
believe this is what we're doing. But there is
30:28
no opt out. There is no, you can turn off water.
30:32
Yeah. But even then, not really. Yeah. Even then,
30:35
not really, because her water was off and she
30:37
got wet. Yeah. I do that. That's just my gift
30:40
as a Nick. I love you all. You can turn the water
30:43
off, but you're still going to get wet. Yep.
30:46
Everybody's in the poncho zone when you sit next
30:48
to Nick. Yep. It's a Gallagher show with us.
30:51
Yeah. It is absolutely set up to make another
30:55
movie. Yeah. It needs to make probably it costs
30:58
80 million to make, which good for them, by the
31:01
way. That's a. pretty reasonable budget for a
31:03
movie that looks the way this movie looks. Oh,
31:05
it's a beautiful movie. It looks great. It's
31:07
a, it's a, I don't, we really do not stress this.
31:10
This is a good looking film. Yeah. Like it, it
31:13
graphically like design, like all the restraints,
31:17
which is weird. Like, yeah, like, but it looks
31:22
good. And the ending is great. I think like I,
31:27
I was, you know, there's a final battle. There's
31:30
some zombie. yep there's akuma yeah there's ryu
31:35
and evil ryu and you know it's great and very
31:39
satisfying yeah and then it ends and then there's
31:42
kind of like the anticipation of another battle
31:45
and i'm like oh my god this is the it's a false
31:47
ending but that was so good i don't want them
31:49
to fuck up something else but they move you straight
31:52
into another film into yeah the cliffhanger the
31:55
next one and it has my that the ending has my
31:58
favorite shot in the movie where bison is just
32:02
i don't know fucking going off about how he has
32:05
all the power now and rolling his eyes back and
32:07
it's like a close -up and the camera's kind of
32:09
tilted and cammy's doing this like weird snakey
32:12
thing and laughing and it's like that's such
32:14
a 90s like tank girl kind of like vibe i've not
32:18
seen how does the vibe the tank girl i was like
32:21
what are they going for yeah the cammy character
32:24
was just like yeah out there yeah she was great
32:29
yeah it's just like a weird angle it's top down
32:31
like it's like it's super close in her face too
32:33
and i was like yeah this is fun they're having
32:36
a great time and like the cars they drove off
32:37
and were practically made you know i mean it
32:39
was only cgi stuff it looked good yeah yeah and
32:43
the ending was hilarious honestly oh man they
32:45
they end it with a fucking great comedic scene
32:48
well in the whole time like the car drives up
32:51
and everybody's like we don't have room for the
32:53
car and he's going to walk. Like we just kept
32:55
saying all the things that they anticipated.
32:57
Every single thing. They knew us. Check, check,
33:00
check, check. I know. You guys are too dumb to
33:03
write this movie. Don't worry. We'll, we'll put
33:05
the jokes in for you. Oh man, you're right. The
33:09
thing is, I think it needs to be seen as a comedy.
33:11
You have to go and think, you can't go to be
33:13
like, it was going to be like a fighter movie.
33:15
It's not enough. It's a comedy. I just feel like
33:18
the action. isn't a strong enough presence yeah
33:22
to make this an action film it's a comedy with
33:25
some good action in it the action that exists
33:30
so good and in my mind like i compare it to um
33:33
the mortal combat reboot which i really enjoyed
33:36
it was great but it was very like serious and
33:39
you know that one is very serious yeah and it's
33:41
good in that serious and i like that but weird
33:44
yeah weird but yeah this one's just weird but
33:47
hilarious yeah at the same time and i'm was very
33:50
thankful they went that direction for this one
33:52
yeah yeah so whoever wrote punch up crushed because
33:56
there's a lot of stuff you could feel where like
33:57
this wasn't in the script and they brought a
33:59
comedian bunch of comedians in like the thing
34:01
at the end of the honda fight where he's laying
34:03
there like smashed into the ground he like just
34:05
throws a sandal at a guy and goes get up get
34:08
me out of here and the guy's just been sitting
34:09
there sleeping the whole time like that's a perfect
34:10
joke that's a perfect joke yeah like out of nowhere
34:13
like releases the tension yeah it was great there's
34:16
a lot of that kind of stuff so i i think we can
34:19
go two ways right let's do favorite fight because
34:21
there is some really good action and what is
34:22
the funniest moment to you the thing that really
34:25
got you uh a favorite fight for me straight up
34:30
from the trailers i love the guy who plays ryu
34:34
like i i really like the the show warrior i watched
34:37
that um so Getting the scene with him and Ken
34:42
in the hotel room where Ken is like, I'm a fucking
34:46
beat your ass. And like Ryu just like does not
34:49
engage. That's my favorite fight, even though
34:52
it's a non fight because Ryu does not fight back
34:55
in any way. He doesn't engage. Still my favorite
34:58
because I just love those two characters in that
35:01
interaction. Recall one moment that killed me
35:05
more. Let's go, Nick. i'm gonna say i mean i
35:09
kind of already talked about it but the final
35:10
fight scene uh it just has like all the good
35:14
energy of like a final fight of like everyone
35:15
you know chun li ken ryu akuma bison just kind
35:21
of all rushing to the same arena for this kind
35:24
of like epic showdown um that one had it for
35:27
me funniest funniest like i think just the one
35:31
that sticks out most to me is just um the bass
35:37
scene the stand -up bass scene absolutely it's
35:41
so random it's so good i'm just like why why
35:45
is it like when did this get decided you know
35:48
i'm just playing the playing the stand -up bass
35:50
this is what is eric andre eric andre but like
35:52
what is his character's name savage where savage
35:55
is just this prisoner uh -huh where he's just
35:59
you know but he's kind of taken care of he's
36:00
got a stand -up bass he's got some nice things
36:03
and he plays it and cammy just comes in like
36:06
kicks him in the face and says stop playing that
36:08
and we find out he's one of like make a espn
36:11
you know um yeah promo for for our tournament
36:15
like immediately and he's like we find out one
36:18
of the three prominent characters has a dom sub
36:20
relationship with other characters in the movie
36:22
yeah there's three very specific moments right
36:25
all right there's some kink going on in this
36:27
horny movie you know i i think one of the biggest
36:30
problems with the movie is that they rushed through
36:32
some fights and they didn't do the whole tournament
36:33
thing i think we'll complain about that who cares
36:36
um i would have loved to see more street fight
36:38
or not i would have really loved to see more
36:40
zangief i thought he was a very charismatic big
36:42
character and they just kind of like rushed past
36:43
him um the balrog kin fight was badass like when
36:49
kin found his power and like they went back at
36:50
him um but i still i think it's the the honda
36:54
right you fight like that's the one that when
36:57
i saw it when when they did the thousand palm
37:00
thing i was like they know what they're doing
37:01
yeah oh the way it disturbed and like cleared
37:04
the fog I don't know. Yeah, it looks so good.
37:07
And that fight was really fun. And it was competently
37:10
shot. And it's a really competently made movie.
37:13
Yeah. Funniest thing is easily for me. The he's
37:19
singing back to life. Oh, my God. Yeah, that
37:23
line killed me. And everybody's singing for non
37:25
blondes. And Eric Andre is singing under the
37:27
rubble. He's dying at the same time. It's goofy.
37:31
It's so goofy. No. Yeah, that's probably the
37:34
best. So yeah, that is the funniest thing. What
37:38
about Joe? Joe was a great job. I mean, just
37:42
dragging Joe along, like just Joe moving through
37:45
the bracket. Like he was just some dude who just
37:48
signed in and like the fucking arcade cabinet.
37:51
And he's just like, J O E. I got three initials.
37:54
I'm Joe. And he moves through. It's just some
37:57
like Aussie dude. He's just like, Hey. you're
38:01
a fucker you're a fucker with me he's just like
38:03
shirtless with red jeans and kind of a bedazzled
38:06
belt and like he's two of his fights get forfeit
38:09
he looks like he looks like he's rick flair yeah
38:12
that's kind of the vibe he has going on um because
38:15
the whole time i think all of us are like who
38:16
the hell is joe yeah it doesn't fucking matter
38:19
this is from street fighter 3 i don't remember
38:21
joe yeah but they're not they're not really uh
38:24
yeah developing his character very well but he's
38:28
really moving up so we're gonna see joe joe moment
38:31
when he came out i cackled when they opened it
38:34
up and he came i like i out loud it's just some
38:36
dork in his socks and sweatpants or whatever
38:39
yeah he might have had socks on i kind of think
38:41
he did yeah oh shit that was so good that's a
38:44
good one oh man yeah that was a great like movie
38:49
long like it took 90 minutes to get to that joke
38:52
so it's so fucking worth it what i want for this
38:56
series is i wanted to find its fast and furious
38:58
niche sure which is like it's not supposed to
39:01
be perfect cinema it's supposed to get weirder
39:04
and bigger and sillier and dumber and just embrace
39:09
what makes it what makes it fun and just let
39:11
people go to the movies and have a really good
39:12
time with it versus like we talked about this
39:15
on the way back it's like a 2 .5 star movie it's
39:18
what it needs to be yeah that's it if it goes
39:21
to three we've we've taken it too seriously if
39:23
it goes below then it's too poorly made but it's
39:25
a really well made movie yeah it's a perfect
39:27
2 .5 star movie yeah terrifically performed movie
39:31
it's got just the right amount of script there's
39:38
no no more script needed for this i mean it really
39:42
is like about the characters and about like the
39:45
choices they made when casting it and just how
39:48
people like Which sounds bizarre for a Street
39:50
Fighter movie, but it's really what makes it
39:53
so charming and great. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's
39:56
so fun. Even just nobody knowing Orville Peck
40:00
is Vega. Just Orville Peck is Vega. It's almost
40:03
like an Easter egg at the end. Obviously, Orville
40:05
Peck is the guy in a mask. Why would they cast
40:08
anybody other than the guy who wears a mask professionally?
40:12
The casting is so good in this movie. 50 Cent
40:15
as Balrog. So fucking good. Yeah. I mean, Josie's
40:20
like, why does he have to look like Mike Tyson?
40:22
I was like, it's 1993. It's based on Mike Tyson.
40:25
Who else could he be? Yeah. Yeah. That's who
40:28
he was based on. Yeah. He's huge, too. He's giant
40:31
in that movie. Yeah. So good. Yeah. One another.
40:35
I'm ready to go. I'm ready as well. I hope it
40:37
is in the pipe. I was telling Peter, like, this
40:40
is the movie I want to have playing at a bar
40:42
all the time. Yep. Yeah. We're just like the
40:44
sounds off or like it's on subtitles. And he's
40:47
like, I know this seems really funny. This is
40:49
a movie I feel like I could just watch for the
40:51
next 20 years. Boy, I want it in a bar every
40:52
six years. I want to just walk in and be like,
40:56
are you fucking kidding me? I'm going to beat
40:59
up a stranger. I'm like, have you fucking seen
41:02
this? It's like, no, dude. This only plays in
41:04
bars every six years. I'm like, no, dog. Fucking
41:07
sit down. I'll wrestle him. I'll grease up. This
41:10
is where Ken finds his Hadouken. Yeah. The people
41:15
who made this film. understand they knew the
41:19
material it's more akin to like a top secret
41:22
or like an airplane it's more on a spoofy kind
41:28
of vibe than i think most people give it credit
41:31
for which i think comedies don't play well in
41:33
theaters right now but i think like let it be
41:36
a comedy man it's it's really funny yeah it is
41:38
it really walks that line of like making fun
41:40
of street fighter but not in a way that like
41:43
a fan of street fighter is going to be like,
41:46
ah, like, yeah. Oh man. I would hate to meet
41:50
the person who just watches. This is like. I'm
41:53
really serious about Street Fighter. They did
41:55
a disservice to the Street Fighter franchise.
41:58
It's like, man, fucking kick rocks, dog. Kuma,
42:00
actually, when he entered into the tournament.
42:03
I mean, it starts early on with them talking
42:05
about canon. It's just him beating up cars on
42:08
television shows. Yeah. That's great. That was
42:11
my favorite thing in Street Fighter. Beat up
42:13
the car. Beat up the car. But when they come
42:15
back later and they make the joke, it's like,
42:17
oh, I'm sorry. You don't get to fight a Celica
42:19
or whatever. Yeah. Do either of you Knicks have
42:25
any final Knick thoughts? It was so close to
42:29
like the perfect Street Fighter movie. If Jean
42:32
-Claude Van Damme had a cameo, that would have
42:36
just... That could have been it. Chef's kiss
42:39
at the end, but the sequel, the sequel. I'm holding
42:44
hope for that. I agree. I just want a second
42:47
one. Yeah. I'm in. I think these are fun. I'll
42:50
go watch them in theaters, I think. audiences
42:52
need to lighten up and have a good time watching
42:55
a really stupid silly movie and Let a 2 .5 be
42:58
a 2 .5. I mean, if you got the money to spend
43:03
accidentally in 40X, like accidentally go see
43:08
that shit in 40X. Here's what I would like. I
43:10
want smell. The smell was lacking. What is lacking
43:13
on smell? Yeah. What is that? I need more toe
43:17
action in my nose. Here's Jean -Claude Van Damme
43:19
and more smell. Those are my two notes. Only
43:22
two notes. Like just from like the exact same
43:25
toes. Yeah, exactly. here's what i'd like to
43:31
see it so many times in 40x that i don't have
