Smokin' Aces (2006)

Which needs represent a clear and present.

Danger of national security of the United States?

You have no idea what this one. Here we go and we're on.

We're on air, Amazing on air with another fantastic podcast.

Everyone is prepared this week, everyone, I mean everyone apart

from me. Because sometimes unfortunately

life does happen and since the last podcast I have not had a

single day to myself and until today did not make it to

watching the film we are discussing today.

So has given us a little bit of a silly idea.

The other two will be discussing the film and I have to make

sense of it, which is why today we are starting with, oddly

enough, the reviews 1st. I'm going to give us a few and

then you guys can start us off. Sure.

Girlfriend, I've got such amazing reviews as 6 of 10

stars. Fun and creepy, but definitely

has flaws. Taylor by sex tip.

I get it. I get why people wouldn't like

this movie. I understand why it is bad, but

I do like it a lot. I am already expecting just

under chaos. The next one's just way

overdone. I have.

I have no clue what is going on. Another one is 1010.

Crazy cult stunning, funny. Another one that is just the

word awful of five times in a row.

The word awful. God duh.

Apparently you have stooped. A movie you want to like but

just can not. Good grief.

Russian and violence is just about everybody.

Go after Israel. What is happening?

OK, so. 60 A War of Apes. Just if it wasn't clear when you

clicked on the podcast when you turned it on, we are discussing

the 2006 action thriller Crime Keeper Smoking Aces, written and

directed by Joe O'Connor and starring and This is mega

starring Ryan Reynolds, really Otter, Jeremy Piven, Ben

Affleck, Common, Andy Garcia, Alicia Keys, Chris Pine, Kevin

Durant, Tommy Flanagan, Joe Edgerton, Jason Bateman, Matthew

Fox and and another 40 odd people in what is a big and

confusing movie. Rory, this was your pick.

Do you have any? Do you have anything you want to

do? You have anything you want to

say before we get into trying to explain to Sonia what the hell

this movie's about? So yeah, welcome to Clear and

Present Dudes, the film nerd and defence podcast that supports

the arts, the troops and official assassinations of card

players in hotels. What a film, guys, what a movie.

I love it. I love this film big time.

I was so excited that we're actually going to talk about it.

It was the first film that I was going to suggest for this

podcast, but I thought, no, kind of a hard sell.

I mean, but now with it's been like we'll be doing this what,

seven months maybe? This is episode 13.

Looking out, we've been doing this long enough now to go

absolutely sicko mode with smoking asses.

A film that turns everything up to 10A.

Film that has some of the most ridiculous concepts and

sequences. A film that has possibly the

least necessary erection ever shown.

In, in, in in a dirty bathroom, in a cabin.

A film that has the most unhinged Jason Bateman

performance ever, a film that has Alicia Keys and holy shit,

actually not doing a bad job in my opinion as well.

It has some of the best shootouts in in the business,

especially one that I'll spur about just OK.

But what's what's what's the best in the business?

That's what's what's the coolest one.

Come on, the one right K it has it has one absolutely incredible

shootout, which is a very, very brief, nasty, dirty one in the

in the lift in the elevator to to our American cousins.

That's gutted, that's gutted. It's not heat, but it's quality.

It's brilliant. Not the best in the business,

but the knocking on the doors of some pretty good ones.

I think it's seemingly driven to its own insane beat.

It kicks off so quickly into the madness.

I remembered it as having more of a build up and re watching

that it's like actually no others.

There's a little bit of build up and that it's like straightener,

just madness and I love it. I love this film.

Some strange casting choices as well.

Andy Garcia for some reason, playing like the bastard son of

Foghorn Leghorn. Yeah.

He's just a down home FBI director from from the

swampsalusia y'all. It's ridiculous.

Wow, you in the big city might fight your crime like this.

Well. Objection, your Honour.

Objection. Y'all be part of the mule before

the horse by the cops of this investigation of of Mr Primos

Braza. It's like it's mental.

What? Fucking Chris Payne Early career

Chris Payne playing just a completely degenerate Nazi.

He's, he's electric in this, in he is, he's, he's one of the

highlights for me is Chris Pyne. As as performances, truly

sinister, unhinged. He got some of the best like

scenes in the film. He's like a little weasel.

He's a little weasel guy. He's a little freaky.

That's brilliant. Yeah.

Oh, we're going to go sickle mode and watch the trailer or,

or we're going to go in blind without a trailer so Sonia has

no idea. I think we should watch the

trailer before we do the break so they can finally, finally see

what we've been talking about. But at the minute he has to do

it in the theatre of the mind. Theatre of the mind.

But I will. History.

Maybe I will describe some of the plot.

Yeah, I will. So before I do that, though, my

my pin to this movie. Okay, so just just to just to

qualify for Sonya here and it looks quite good at the minute

because on my on my recording thing, it's like the three of us

not lying and I'm on one shoulder and you're on the other

shoulder. Just Sonya in the middle, all

right, and you're going to and you're going to be like the

little devil that really, really loves this movie.

And I'm going to and I'm going to be the little boring Angel

who's like no, but it's needlessly violent on the on the

am I trying to do? No, no, I know, I know, but I'm

going to go, I'm going to go. It's not very well written.

Yeah, I don't. I mean, I will give you it's not

it. It certainly does not have the

greatest writing in the world. MM was legendary enough to point

me the link to to the script. Holy crap that screenplay is

insane dude. It's incredibly confusing.

OK, so so this this film has about 22 many characters.

My opinion, I think, I think there's about 500 people in it

and I understand what they're doing.

OK, the whole the whole big conceit of the movie is was a

shit tonne of hit men. You'll want to get this one guy

but the store, right, dude? Right.

Oh my God. OK, right.

So we go into way too much detail about who Buddy Israel

is. I don't care who he is.

He's just the Mac Guffin of the movie, right?

He's just the guy they want to get.

I don't care who he is. And yet we get about 20 minutes

of expedition at the beginning of the movie where Andy Garcia.

When Newton gets to meet Wayne Newton on the stage in Vegas and

tell him to retire, I don't care.

I'm shocking behaviour. Shocking behaviour?

Yes, Sir. So there's a there's a movie

about that. There's a movie about Speratza

somewhere in this thought they could have done.

He gets a whole ending, but we don't want to spoil anything.

But the end of the movie get a whole bunch about Speratza that

is irrelevant, but we get a better set up on that and we get

a big payoff on that. And there's all those weird bits

where because the black and white, but the cars red, like

it's fucking shinders list. Like like, like it's like,

what's going on with that? OK.

And then the rest of the movie, and this is what the movie

should be, right? It's it's the raid.

It should be a Bush. People try to get to the top of

the building. That's what the whole movie

should be, but it's not. It's like there's bits in

parking lots. There's a bit in a bail bondsman

office. Every time someone tells a

story, there's cuts away to like things that happened 20 years

ago or are conversations happening in rooms just randomly

or also it's just all over the place.

Like one of the Andy Garcia's talking.

They were like Andy Garcia's got a lot to get through.

So instead of just letting us watch Andy Garcia do it, walking

around a room which is about fucking ten of those boards with

like yawn connecting everybody and like a zillion photographs,

instead of just letting them walk around and work that room.

You also need to cut away every 2.3 seconds to like something

that happened 40 years ago. So that's.

Right. That's even the star of the

movie. The star of the movie is in a

surveillance van with, Yeah, Ryan Reynolds and and and Ray

Liotta doing the whole classic. Yeah, Yeah, exactly.

Do the whole classic. This model jokes, Yeah.

Oh, how can you eat that stuff that's going to age it.

But John, you've got a you're 12 years old.

So you you're but you don't care.

That's like classic bullshit. And then they're like looking

for binoculars looking an old man trying to make that

interesting. Like this is Speratza.

Oh, someone else is on the phone.

Oh my God, who's like, I don't care who's Speratza is.

Clearly this movie's not about the old guy you get, but mental.

Anyway, Joe Carnahan previously to this directed Narc, which I

thought was a pretty good movie when I first watched it as a as

a guy in my teens, I guess, or early 20s maybe.

I think I watched that movie. It must have been teens because

this movie came out when I was 20 and I thought that was pretty

grim, the whole thing with the iron and the baby.

But anyway, Joe Cohen then went on to do The A-Team, which I

didn't see yet, but he did The Grey, which I thought was like a

pretty good movie. I didn't think it was amazing.

I didn't think, I didn't think the right thing.

I thought the right was a bit on the nose, but I thought it was

cool. Bunch of guys in the wilderness

fighting, fighting wolves. Fucking cool.

So I came into this with like a bit of optimism, but I think I

think this guy's a little bit, he was kind of riding on the

coattails of Guy Ritchie and Matthew Vaughn, who I don't

really Matthew Vaughn very much, but I think he's still in their

shadow a little bit when he's doing this movie.

And I think what this this could have done with is a bit of a bit

of distilling, bit of focusing and then just like made it into

like essentially the Raid. This movie should have been the

Raid, my humble. Oh, anyway, I've had my opening

salvo, Rory. Yeah, Go on.

If if this film was distilled and it's just essentially a very

long action sequence, I'll allow the raid and would have lost

pretty much all of its and many kind of sparse thriller

qualities, which then would have exempted from being talked about

in this podcast. Right now you'll be listening on

actual good podcast, you know. Yeah, I know, right?

I mean, technically if we allowed this movie through,

maybe we allowed to do Dread 3D at some point anyway, right?

So at this movie, Las Vegas magician and wannabe gangster

buddy is is Israel is hitting hiding at a Lake Tahoe hotel

while his agent negotiates a potential immunity deal with the

FBI, a deputy director Stanley Locke.

So the buddy, Israel's Jeremy Piven, his agent, is the pet

master from the early seasons in You Girl.

And and. Weird poll and bad busting right

my Jacuz again into my Jacuz that guy and and FBI Deputy

Director Stanley Locke is Andy Garcia doing for some reason

Louisiana accent a. What?

Mental. Wild.

Special agents Richard Mesner, which is Ryan Reynolds and

Donald Carruthers, which is really ought to learn that

ailing mobos Primo Spirazza some guy his issued a $1 million

bounty on Israel and sent a mysterious Swede to bring back

Israel's heart. Several assassins also seek the

reward, including master of disguise Laszlo's suit hit women

Cherise Waters and Georgia Sykes.

I'm going to stop right now and just say that in the screenplay

for this movie, they're described by the incredibly

white, middle-aged Paul Gaughan as Ebony stunners.

And was it ghetto? Ghetto Queens, Ghetto.

Queens. Yeah.

Yeah, that's that's Alicia Keys and her oppo.

I don't know her name, sorry. And hired by Sprunters

Underboss. Yeah.

Mercenary Pasquale Acosta, who I think is that guy who was in

lost, not Matthew Fox, but the other one and psychotic neo Nazi

tremors brothers, which is Kevin Durand, Chris Pine and another

one. If you want to if you want a

boring trivia podcast, go somewhere else because here I

don't know everyone's names. So that's that's the beginning

of the movie. Are you following this Sonya?

There will be a test. Oh.

Boy. So when you watch the movie, I

find it difficult to follow as well, which and that is that's

clearly a note that came up during production or during

screen testing because every single one of these, and this is

another thing that makes it seem a bit like a Guy Ritchie movie.

Every time you get one of these characters, it gets like a

freeze frame and and all the texting saying their name so you

know who they are and they will have these little vignettes like

like establish them as characters isn't there as well.

Yeah, yeah, the the the one in which they introduced the Tramos

brothers was absolutely unhinged.

And obviously I love how the film kind of shows these these

really, it's not especially believable, but it's kind of

within the kind of setting of a film when the hiring

professional people to take out this quite influential Vega

stage performer who's got himself in gratiate with La Cosa

Nostra. And the goal of these very,

very, very professional people like Felicia Keys and Abu, that

suit guy, the Pasquale fella. And then you've just got these

these ridiculous Nazis who dress like extras from Mad Max who do

these like high speed mass fucking killings at restaurants,

get shot in the neck. Somehow escape and survive are

still fucking available. I haven't been apprehended.

The drive a fucking muscle car with a Balkan Krauts on the side

of it for fuck's sake. Yeah, that's crazy.

Incredible. It's it's a bit like, right, I

didn't realise I checked this out.

I thought this might have been based on a like a graphic novel

or something because of how like mental some of this stuff is.

Because this is like 300 style, like over the top on some of

these things. So like, and they use like

really short like because, because the script moves real

quick. They just say things and it

flies past you and you hear it, you take it in and then like

before you go like, wait, what? Something else has already

happened. So like Pascual Acosta, I guess

I think is the one who gets introduced is like, yeah, the

the SAS picked him up in Northern Ireland where he chewed

off his own fingernails to jump onto his own fingers, Yeah, to

get to get rid of it. And then it shows like, a quick

shot of him, like looking like he's in like one of those

Northern Irish gaol cells with, like, The Dirty protests, kind

of like hunger style fucking things.

This is like, OK, the quick visual shorthand of a dirty with

the long hair and the beard, everything like.

But this guy's not a hunger strike because he's a lunatic

assassin. Yeah.

Why is he chewing off his hands? And yeah, but before you have a

chance to kind of go what the fuck, it already skips to

somebody. Else I love the logic of that.

It's like this man chewed off his finger tips so he couldn't

be fingerprinted. Yeah, OK, now we're looking for

fingerprints that have massive lumps of fucking scar tissue on

them. Good grief, man.

It's like my brother in Christ. They are called gloves.

No, I mean, he's not that slick an operator if you let himself.

You fucking captured for a start, you know.

Yeah, well, that's why I say the SES.

But that's the best who who dared won, you know, and got up.

Yeah, yeah, I'm yeah, fairness, but.

The most ridiculous one is the the Lazlu suit description.

So like there's a there's some guy walking across a crosswalk

with like an arms entourage of like close protection officers.

Okay, walking opposite towards them is a guy who looks who

looks like you're stereotypical assassin tall guy in a suit.

He reaches into his pocket. Everyone like, Oh my God, is

that the guy? But also behind him is a.

There's a quadriplegic guy. Yeah, he's not.

He's. Quadriplegic guy.

Like they get an air pipe like like blew himself with his with

his. Yeah, like like he's yeah.

And he's and he's back and he's got dreads and he's a

quadriplegic and he's in the wheelchair behind him.

The the guy who looks like the assassin put his hand in his

pocket, pulls out a cell phone as the cross section guys

reaching for their guns. And then the quadriplegic guy

goes whoop, whips off his shirt. He's got guns, he's got 2

oozies. Doesn't then?

He said 61 scorpions. There you go.

And then? Scorpions, baby.

I'm a technologist. I love that shit.

He goes blah blah blah blah blah and kills all those guys and

then stands up, rips off the face mask, which he didn't need

because there wasn't runs the. Fucking fucking fucking jumps

on. We're passing back a.

Moving Van like he's fucking Martin McFly and then.

It isn't, It isn't. Explain to us if this van is

part of his ex fill plan or if it's just a happy accident.

And that's, that's, that's a suit.

And then and then he's introduced and then you don't

see him again for like ages, ages.

And then the the again the job, right.

So when Alicia Keys gets gets her job with her pal, she's got

like a like a handler or a fixer, I guess it's like her,

her agent, I suppose, is there and she's like and to announce

who they are. She just goes.

Those guys are real impressed with that job you did against

the Triads. And it's like, oh, wow, they've

killed triads. That's how we know they're good.

Yeah. So the FBI agents get directed

to take Israel into protective custody at the same time bail

bondsman Jack Dupree. They have played by Ben Affleck.

Ben Affleck and Pistol Pete Deeks and Hollis Elmore pitch of

guys all been hired to catch him as well.

And there's a bit when they have a scene where they talk to Jason

Bateman and there's just banter flying around about where the

guy is. It's one of the best fucking

scenes in the film. That's absolutely real.

It actually is. It's amazing.

It's. Utterly ugly.

Relevant scene. Almost.

Yeah. This this could have been cut

out. The movie could have been 20

minutes short. Didn't need it at all.

How it is probably one of the best scenes in the movie.

It's like you, you know how that room smells.

Quote the meme that a regular quote in this podcast.

You know, it's not crazy in that and just Jason Bateman playing

and absolute degenerate alcoholic cringe Lord with this

with this weird little heart shake made of them.

It's like bones it turn the key, lock the chain.

I invented that. That's a new one I'm working on

and that doesn't work. This is down so that guys give

me the hairy eyeball. Yeah, and just my what?

He's just so we are they like simping at them.

It's like you guys are so tough. I wish I was like you.

Oh, my goddess. Was it a it's a congenital

alcoholism. It's.

Yeah, it's like. Yeah, it's like.

Gentle it's. It's like I've got this like

below average body or something and then like a hereditary

alcoholism isn't like that. Hereditary alcoholism and a tiny

cock. Thanks God.

That's what he says it makes sense around alcohol.

The small cock thanks God, and it's like yes, man, honestly, it

is it is. It is an all timer.

It is an all timer. It really is.

But what do you really serious is up when when that hollow sky

touches that big rabbit fursuit head that's just there, that's

about it's like incredible, incredible fucking scenes.

You guys strapped? You say that right?

Strapped or packing? What?

What's he using these days? Yeah, it's like, yeah, we see

strapped. Yeah, it was good.

Yeah, that's that's his one scene.

I think we don't see him again. Would do we see him again when

he gets a phone call when he's in bed after what's clearly a

gigantic gooning session? Because they're raw.

And I didn't, I didn't realise this when I was watching on the

big screen back in the day. But watching it at home that

there's loads of like rolled up tissue paper on on the

bedsheets. And then he gets out of bed and

he's wearing the women's underwear and it's like his his

room is just a goon caveman That, that, that place smells

bad. That's gross.

That's gross. And then you think, right,

because you've seen and this is like a classic little Rd poll,

they do because we've seen Ben Affleck and no doubt Ben Affleck

was probably involved in the marking of this movie, right?

I imagine so, yeah. Pretty early on is the movie

those guys make it up to a Lake Tahoe to look to look for bloody

Israel. It looks like they're stopped in

a car park by the Tremors brothers who just like execute

them straight away. Yes, like a kind of pull up to

sort of make a plan, don't they? And like they've got these like

uniforms, these like security uniforms that they're going to

wear like they're doing the leg work.

They're talking about how there's like 2 tiers of security

there and they can be going and it's like the bottom tier guys

and they've got like the maroon jackets and that.

And I mean really this this whole conversation could have

been done in the car as the drove location, but the needed

to stop and get out the vehicle and talk about what sort of

traumas were last good, then drive past and that fucking

they're like I said, the muscle colour identifies as a Shtuka

and I mean Sania, I am not kidding.

It's got a fucking Balkan Kreutz on it.

These guys are incredibly Nazi. So the drive past them once,

with tunes blasting, drive past them again and just.

But it's playful laughs, by the way.

It is, it is. It is played for laughs, I

guess. I guess we should stop digging a

hole when it comes to telling a German that Nazis have played

for laughs. It's fine guys, it's fine.

The buddy Nazis this time. So the get out the quickly and

brutally gunned down defraying the bail bondsman, or so we

think. One of the traumas with us after

shooting them, gets up with a vehicle, takes off his

ridiculous fucking pants are goggles, gets out a bark, a pen

and draws a little a little Hitler moustache there, then

immediately starts fighting with the other one because that's

what men do, I guess. And then Chris pain goes over

Jack the freeze body and he's like he's got his finger, he's

got his hands waist. He's like, forgive you a word.

It's mental. Goes on for some time that.

So good man, a fisherman's name. And he starts like tearing up

during it as well. And it's like, it's OK, I

forgive you. I'm at a beach in Hawaii and

there's plenty of hot girls here and we're going to hang up with

Jesus. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like. It's like what the fuck?

I'll see you in heaven. It's like, amazing.

Yeah. Yeah.

So. So then the Trammels brothers,

of course. Very happy that that their

random decision to kill a few guys has them netted them some

uniforms and a weigh in because the clearly went in with no real

plan and probably were going to be killed by hotel security if

the tries it. So I guess this was lucky

because I mean, you know, so yeah, they got these uniforms

which will then allow them their way in during this is a lot of

like driving around scenes as well with with Ryan Reynolds and

and. Really awesome.

But there's they do that more thing where they, yeah, they're

the whole thing where they speed up the footage everything like

make sure it doesn't leave that hotel room.

I'm coming right there and it's like, it's like the car weaving

out of traffic. It's speed up and it's like, Oh

yeah, 2006, right. Yeah.

Do we even get a close up of a car's speedometer?

Because I think we might. You know, I think we might.

You probably do like a little thing.

Probably. I wouldn't be surprised it's the

same one that was in gone 60 seconds.

Interrupt this down, Say, Sonia, how is this film sounding to you

now? Do you think we're making any of

this up? Sounds a bit schizophrenic so

far do you think? It's going to be pro or antique

saye. How quickly would Colombo get

shot in this film? I have questions I have.

I have more questions now than before you started explaining

the film. Yes, absolute chaos, just like

the traumas brothers wanted. I am, I'm just the the Ben

Kenobi visible confusion meme right now to be honest.

Incredible you are. Get it?

So this will help. Will it receipts to make it even

worse? So Pasquale Acosta also goes to

the hotel and presenting an FBI badge to get passed to the young

sporty concierge. And what's at at some FBI badge

is some kind of like federal Gaming Commission or some kind

of thing is yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I thought it was FBI thought I thought they had a day about it.

Later on when he goes he came with FBI badge and in order

there with the security and that didn't seem strange to.

You no like the said the said. I am pretty sure it's on FBI

badge. It is.

It is a federal agency of some kind.

OK, you're probably right. Yeah.

He flushes about anyway, gets in, Yeah.

Goes to see the head of security who's surrounded by, like,

monitors and stuff. And that's Matthew Fox, who's

Jack from Lost, Right. And for Squali, Acosta is also

like one of the guys who was in Lost the guy with the looks like

sort of Guy Leonor all the time. So so Acosta kills the head of

security by doing a funky cool thing.

He has like a hidden blade and he's in his sleeve comes out

like this is just like a pure Assassin's Creed before

Assassin's Creed came out. Stops the guy in the lung.

So his lung collapses sort of blood.

He's like you should be feeling any pain.

Sits him down. It's a bit like a better been

drive. And that's how he's how he's

infiltrated that. And then he goes up and he

starts waking up there. There's a whole bunch of stuff

going on with Buddy Israel. Yeah.

And Joe Edgerton, who plays like, where is he from?

Is he, like, Eastern European? Really shit haircut in the weird

big spot there. Yeah, like he's, he's, he's,

he's like one of those like largely generically Slavic kind

of characters they have. Right.

So. Yeah, it's like they were just

ticking off a list of what they needed.

Yeah, yeah, it's like so, So what kind of say the penthouse,

because of course the whole the whole top floor of the hotel has

been like kind of closed off so only bloody Israel can hang out

there and do coke and threw up on his piano and bang who has

and stuff. And and it's obviously it's like

the night after, after like some severe partying, right, Because

there's like a significant amount of like naked and semi

naked women lying around who who were obviously ladies of the

night. And buddy Israel obviously on a

shaky, shaky come down front of the drugs he's been on like

walking around like throwing his cards and people and it's

sticking on them. And it's like get out, go away,

see you later kind of thing. And he's like fun, come on,

dude, you suck. It's like you're you, you do

card tricks. It's really difficult to make

that cool. You know what I think of when I

say this shit? The episode of King of the Hill

when Bobby Hill starts doing contact juggling and he said,

got that, that, that little ball.

And he's like, so he's doing all this like like turbo cool

throwing, throwing cards at people like they think he's a

total badass and stuff. Then a straight scene when he's

getting his entourage to get them to go and he finds that,

finds that his generically Eastern European slash Slavic

bodyguard slash bagman slash whatever has ejaculated on his

incredibly expensive Kafskin jacket.

And it's like, and he's like, oh, I send out.

I said where? For incineration.

It's like come on man, just get a fucking butter knife and

scrape it off when it goes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This isn't fucking for it. Is the Condor here now?

Yeah. No, this is this.

This ain't your granddad's thriller, son.

The Saint Your Mama's Patriot Games.

This film seems very bodily fluids heavy.

Yeah, well, I mean, we've had like we are.

In the trenches here. Yeah, we are.

We've had we've had piss without come.

We are blood. Common rocks up soon as well.

Yeah, I. Didn't mean to make it sound

like he was a bodily fluid, but he, he's like buddy, Israel's

like. Me and bodyguard slash.

Yeah, Yeah, He's as real personal time.

Like you said, he's the guy. He's a good guy because he's the

guy who's been killing people. When?

Because Buddy kind of got in like the kind of crime business

with Primos Pranza after Primos Pranza kind of embraced and

brought him into La Cosa Nostra. And I got to keep saying that,

by the way. Yeah.

They don't just call it the Mafia.

I did some Mafia adjacent research.

Not so, really. Only because I was playing

mafia. The old country, yeah, on the

Xbox and and I was just I was just ingesting some Matthew

related stuff about that yeah. So they did call it Cos in

Austria. That is how I started in.

Sicily. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like it's our our thing. I think indeed.

Yeah, yeah, but film script writers used it for a long time

in TV, especially instead of the mafia, just because there was

those. Let us go to Google.

They shut up, actually. Yeah.

The American Civil Rights League.

Yeah. So while I was doing that, I, I

think what Joe Carlin has done is that he, it was an

interesting bit of trivia that it was called Cosa Nostra and

something a bit more cool and alternative than call it the

Mafia. so-called it the Mafia a bit like, you know, like kid in

the playground who's like being a bit of a noodle.

Yeah, that's the vibe I got from it.

Like, yeah, we get it, we get it, we notice the fucking mafia,

we get it. Okay.

Yeah, like it's like, like, like it's making a big deal or

pronouncing chorizo's chorizo even though it looks like it

should be pronounced chorizo. Yeah, that's exactly you want to

hold it to Barcelona. I mean, still it's better than

jalapenos, but it's like, you know, there's but yeah, you're

right. So I'm gonna the next bit is

suit gains. So suit is Laszlo's suit, The

master of disguise, Lasagna gains access to Israel's

penthouse, posing as his henchman Hugo, who is Joe

Edgerton. Actually, Sir Ivy, which is

common Israel, second in command, confronts Israel for

agreeing to inform on him, Ivy and his entourage as part of the

plea deal and is subdued by hotel security.

So there's that whole bit where Commons like, you know, whatever

you get from a dog, that's loyal, they ain't got shit on

me. I'm real loyal.

All that kind of stuff. Then he does Polygon on him, to

be fair. And then he'll tell security

come and shoot and he gets pulled out and he's he's on a

Gurney, I think. Is that right?

Someone's on a Gurney. He's he's zip tied.

He's not on a Gurney, but he's zip tied.

Oh, he's zip tied. I remember now.

I remember now. Yeah.

So he's zip tied. He's coming out and you think,

right. OK, so keeping track of all the

hit men, right. First of all, I wasn't

particularly clear on what Laszlo Super was actually doing.

I didn't realise that was that wasn't George because I just

wasn't following the movie very closely TBQH.

But Commons out of the running. OK but Ben Affleck and not

already out of the running. Except the one guy who got away

who strung away when their bodies were dumped.

The the the Nazis are still out and about and Alicia Keys and

her partner are setting up. Alicia Keys is going to go in

and be like the chain man, I guess, and bring him out into

the open. Yeah, so Alicia Keys is going in

as a prostitute with like the second wave of who has because

like the sending in like a second wave of of of.

So I don't know what what Israel was going to do with the second

wave of hookahs, because if you look at him, this man, this man

cannot get an erection right. He's on a vicious come down.

He he's, he's crying into a mirror while putting in a

different coloured contact lens. He's got a dicky ticker.

It's. Wild, yeah.

He's something about time, so. Is that is that the scene with

the John Keel track by the way? It is big white clothes, but

John Kell is going to have that as the as my as my needle drop.

But we. Mentioned and yeah, and he's

just having this massive prolonged crash out and you

think this is the behaviour of a man who was like ordered like 5

or 6 more prostitutes to come up So that is so this assistant can

like ejaculate around them. I guess it's a bit like, did you

guys, I'm not expecting an affirmative here, but did you

guys see season 3 of The White Lotus that came out this year on

HBO, Man, OK, There's a scene that's really similar to this in

the sense of like a guy who's on a fish has come down yet more

halls are on the way and and we need to exhale from the

situation before I get pulled back into the hall situation.

Yeah. My God A.

Very good series. Yeah.

Crazy. Oh, and that's Academy

award-winning actor Samuel Rockwell in that scene as well.

Yeah, brilliant. Anyway, I digress.

Yeah. So Alicia Keys is going to be a

whore, bring about in the open and then her partner who's in a

building opposite on the other side of the street with an M82

is going to with a very incredibly high calibre elephant

killing round is going to basically explode him.

Well, I think I. Think, I think the plan was that

that Alicia Keys was going to extract him and get him out of

there and that she was there for Overwatch support basically.

Because obviously, I mean, they're the only ones running

any kind of a really. So they don't.

Want to plan this? The kid had planned thing

because the Tremors brothers are just like fucking terrible.

Listen to Motörhead, go in, draw fucking moustaches on yourself

and and probably die in the next first few minutes unless you get

uniforms. Yeah, everyone else is planning

on getting close to him and doing a point blank range, which

is just not efficient or clever for an Exfield.

Yeah, yeah. So, so like, they, they they

have they have an actual plan with comms, with Overwatch,

with, with the logistics, with equipment, significant fucking

equipment. And this is a dark joke, but

it's not out with the realms of possibility that, you know, a

hospital security staff would let you bring a load of fucking

guns up to the top floor to a hotel room.

You know, dark, but also true. Indeed.

So yeah, I mean, then then we'll have that absolutely insane

dialogue, which is like, Oh my God, did you bring the 50?

Well, obviously she did. It's like a rifle, the same

height as her pretty much. You're going to see it.

You're going to see I carry it. It's big bag.

You know, I've, I've got some, I've, I've got some hand loads.

So they're going to be giving people dirt naps, man.

Did you bring the 50 gal? Did you bring the 50 from?

World War One, Yeah, man. It's like like it is literally

like like DND party bring every weapon in the car that's mental.

But it's like, yeah, so so she kind of posts up with that with

that fucking anti material rifle and just just that fucking give

give covering fire. It's mental.

It's nuts. A mean one, yeah, but yeah.

As this is happening, we've got Pasqualia Costa entering the

lift to go up to the penthouse because he's going to do his

kill now. He's got the security guards

uniform, right? Yeah.

At the same time as that's happening, Special Agent

Carrillas Riota is also rushing to get to Billy Israel because

he wants to put him in protective custody and get him

out the building. I don't think, I don't think

they're aware of the scale of what was what's about to go

down. They think they know people are

after him. I don't think they know the man.

Every man and his dog is after him.

Yeah, and they're also having comms issues as well.

Well. Yeah, so they get into the so

they get into an elevator or a lift and it's like classic, you

know, movie lift scene of like, oh, are they friendly?

Are they're not friendly? What's going on?

They start off all right, don't they?

Because they're like, oh, I just want to go up there and oh,

yeah, cool. Well, I need you to stop all the

other lifts in the building. Oh, we can do that when we get

to the top. We can't do it while we're in

the lifts. Yeah.

But then there's this. There's the shooter.

That happens, right? Yeah, so there's this fucking

brilliant, horrible close range shootout, virtually point blank,

just just two guys unloading on each other, sexual.

Two guys unloading pistols on each other.

Fantastic. The way it's shot from the top

down is brilliant. The sparks and the flashes, the

lightning, the way the lights cut out part way through it and

you just left the two guys slowly bleeding out from mortal

wounds after just absolutely blowing the shit over each

other. It's it's I like that particular

gunfight. It's so good.

Like I said, to me, it's an all timer.

It isn't a film that's characterised by great ones, but

that's an all timer. I don't fight for that one

because it is meant. When you said there was an

Alzheimer gunfight in this movie, this isn't the one I

thought you were talking about. It kind of set my mind.

So I thought you were talking about a little thing that

happens a little bit after this. I don't want to spoil it for

Sonya, but but but which is which is pretty cool, but it

starts with like a really cringey of its time.

Like I'm going to be a bit like David Fincher into a funky

effect shot. Yeah, yeah.

Which I wasn't, which I wasn't a big fan of, but anyway, I do

love that one because the lift is all like, it's obviously like

a reflective inside, like a mirrored lift, because that's

very, that's a very popular thing you see makes the space

feel bigger. And then they do the cool thing

where the lights go out, as you say, it's been shot from above.

And then you just get the muzzle flashes intermittently and

that's quite cool as well. Yeah, it's incredible.

Yeah. Like it's just two guys up close

destroying each other. I would say right.

And this, this goes for my, my sort of broader criticism of the

whole movie is whilst I don't think it works, I think I think

the movie is a bit of a bit of a mess.

Yeah. It's not without a sense of fun

and it is not without any creativity.

And I think it tries a little bit too hard to lean into that.

Like what Quentin Tarantino dialogue, Guy Ritchie or, you

know, what's his name, Matthew Vaughn, Like that kind of style

of like a little bit over the top, a little bit crude.

And, you know, I think that doesn't particularly jibe with

me. There's still a lot of good

stuff in this movie that I like, you know, Chris Pine, I think

Alicia Keys, I like common, I like some of these gunshot

fighting scenes. There's some stuff I don't like.

I don't like the editing on the on the car driving.

I think the film looks a bit gaudy, like the colour grading I

think is a bit is a bit in my face, but that that could be a

choice. So I'm cool with that.

And the bit with a spunk didn't land but but yeah cool it.

Really didn't. Well, I mean, it landed, but on

its IT didn't land on the audience, thank God.

But we get this right so and this movie does a whole bunch of

these as well. So this is the first of like

mini fake outs the movie does. So we are led to believe from

this all the language of the movie is telling us that both

these guys are dead now and and like in 50 minutes from now we

are proving that neither of them are dead.

Yeah, yeah. And I think that's, I think

that's annoying as fuck. You know what I thought it was

classified as mint. I actually enjoyed it.

I mean, like it tries for the fact that like I'm not going to

talk about the realism of smoking aces, but I mean it

does, but I mean it does. It does often take like a longer

time like bleed out from like small carbon rounds and those

like like heavy carbon rounds, you know, and like, and like, I

mean like, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to be like, well,

actually here's why it's fucking spot on, but.

Here's how I could wear 12 rounds in the chest and then

make no sound and not move, but then be perfectly fine that

ambulatory 15 minutes later. Yeah, but I mean, like, at least

the both, like they're both literally fucking dying as well.

I mean, pretty much like, like they, they they are fucked.

Especially really Otter, he is like, well, I mean, like he like

announces that he's mortal, doesn't it?

Moral. Which of course, they're people

from the North. You are mortal, Right.

So we need to just kind of do a bit of a cultural exchange.

Yeah. In the northeast of England,

mortal comes from mortal drunk, which means drunk.

So. Yeah.

So mortal means drunk in the north of east, northeast,

northeast of England. So there we go.

So that's always fun to learn things about each other's

cultures. When we're talking about

learning from cultures and stuff, there is this insane

clash with weird Lake Tahoe hillbilly culture.

I guess when the one surviving bail bonds guy.

Manages to get himself to a literal cabin in the woods where

he's rescued, I guess by the the Ritalin ingesting 14 year old

tops kid in the fucking karate outfit.

Yeah, a lazy eye. He was straight away as like

giving him like you eyeballing me son kind of shit and doing

karate moves at him. This man has had most of his

hand blown off and he's like eyeballing me son and this like

loud hip hop music played behind him.

But it's weird, it's mental. So I took a break from the movie

at that point. I stopped it and made a company

and gave it like 15 minutes. And it was like, I'm going to

come back to this. Like this is, I don't know.

I couldn't imagine sitting in the cinema and watching this at

the time. Just be like oh.

Man, I fucking loved it. I really enjoyed it in the

cinema. But yeah, so then we'll have

we'll have two scenes for them because obviously we'll have

like the kind of introduction when we see that this this last

remaining builds bondsman Hollis is alive.

We'll see him turn up at the house.

We'll see him get this weird like teenage kid in karate

outfit who talks lot of smack. He's redolent of the weird

blonde kid in cabin fever that we are.

Kid who's like doing fucking backflips and shit outside the

shop and then bites that guy's hand.

That's like the cut from the same cloth these characters

right? I mean this lad seems less feral

but more stupid because he does come out with some incredibly

dumb shit. Corset Hollis is then taken in

by the lads lads grandma, who is described in the screenplay as a

very large woman who's a registered nurse part time and a

full time novelty store owner, souvenir store owner.

So the guy is the guy who's put in the bathtub.

Buyer and Margie marches off and Warren immediately rushes over

out of the tub, placing himself directly over the inert Elmore

and assuming a martial arts stance.

He opens his mouth to speak in the Ice Cream Sandwich tumbles

out, landing in the tub. Warren barking out.

Bow to your opponent. Warren bows before he squares up

and begins methodically delivering a cut out of punches

and kicks, violently and expertly snap the millimetres of

Elmore's face. Elmore, helpless to raise his

arms and offend himself, stares in horror as the boy, his

glasses blank a fog and drip with perspiration, works himself

into a furious lala. Elmore trying to speak.

Kid, stop. Elmore holds up a stump of her

hand, pinky waggon in pathetic play.

No use, Warren. Warren isn't do it for America.

In La Cosa Nostra, Warren is in a state of unhinged the edible

frenzy, his eyes wild, a small yet prominent direction

beginning to poke through his karate key.

Margie returns to the bathroom, scolds her grandson.

He squares up on her, fanning a blow to her face.

She clouts him hard backhand, big flabby arms, restraining

him, hauling him out of the bathroom.

He bleats like a butchered sheep.

Insane. The fact that the bonus in the

screenplay disturbs me no end. I do like though.

I don't know if you noticed this.

Probably not because he was starting to go through it at

this point. I think this film was killing

your soul. But because I'm the man I am, I

was relishing every moment of this film.

She actually doesn't beat the crap out of him.

Did you? Did you notice how he kind of

goes for and she was like expertly and effortlessly kind

of like knocks the blow away? Yeah.

That was that was actually cool. Yeah.

She's like, so truly she's the master.

And you say, because clearly she does wenchun and he's all karate

so. This probably happens daily,

right? Probably happens constantly and

then actually kind of gets Hollis out of the turban and

ammo box comes out. Since my since my husband died

by suicide, I'm just looking after the boy myself.

And of course there's a fucking cult 1911 in there because it's

a back-to-back World War winner baby. 9 millimetre kills the

body, 45 kills the soul and Hollis was like I'm going to be

needing this. And then he's back on the

revenge train. Hell yeah.

Yeah, mental. One hinge.

Right. OK.

Where are we at? So Ivy has been detained by

hotel security. Yeah.

In Los Angeles. Locke, That's on de Garcia.

Sonya. Do you know what de Garcia is?

Sonya? He played Fernando in Mamma Mia.

Here I go again. And and I was in, I was in the

ball. Apart for see me, I'm just

staring lamely because not it's not helpful information to me at

all. You.

Must know Andy Garcia is he's brilliant.

He was in. What else was he in recently?

Was he in the remake of The Parent Trap that just happened?

That guy. That guy, yeah, he wasn't.

He was in the Untouchables fucking hell of.

Course he was. He was the really good no

shooter in the touch. That's right.

Yeah. Yeah, we got him taken.

Guy, yeah, you got him taken. Bang.

Yeah, we've talked about. See, see.

We should, we should, we should do that film.

That is a film I have seen. Good thing should say that I

think. I think we should do that movie,

but. Fucking thinking show that film

as well. Actually.

Hell yeah. Shoot that one next.

Yeah, there we go. That's the Chicago way.

That's the Chicago way. Thank you.

We've been clear and present. Dudes.

Good night. We'll see you in Chicago in two

weeks time. Back to the studio now.

In Los Angeles, lock abruptly withdraws from the I was I

didn't track this at all. I must have zoomed out during

this Lock abruptly withdraws from the deal with Israel, but

does not inform Messner and Carruthers.

The Tremor brothers reached the penthouse floor.

I remember this attacked the security team and Ivy, who kills

Jeeves and Leicester, who was two of the Tremors brothers.

I guess because it's Darwin, Jeeves and Leicester.

And we'll pause there for a second to talk about that bit.

So very cool gunfight happening here.

But one of the brothers has got a a chainsaw.

Yeah. And Ivy's on the floor and he's

hard to still on the. Yeah, like you said, he's in

front. So he.

Yeah. He's trying.

To get, expands it. Then he gets another one,

expands that. That's right.

And the guy with the chainsaw is like kind of, it's kind of like

crouched down or something. He's kind of squatting but

always waits on his back foot and he's trying to get a gun.

There's a the change was on the floor behind him.

This is it. The chain was on the deck behind

him, spinning around. And the guys, he's holding his

weight weirdly, and then Ivy shoots in the leg, which caused

him to fall backwards onto the chainsaw.

And we don't even really see it, we just kind of hear it.

Yeah Grim. We've also missed a bit before

that this this incredibly we had seen when when Alicia Kings

walks in on the traumas brothers getting changed in a lift

because the because. This is in the trailer as well.

You see, this is like how have these people existed so long

doing these ridiculous operations is to turn up in the

security uniforms and get into the stupid Nazi fucking tactical

bondage gear just before the do the operation, which I guess is

like part of that thing and maybe the thing that don't

operate so well If the if if if if they're dressed in normal

people clothes instead of dressing like something from

Burning Man but evil. It's just been there's loads of

Nazis coming around wearing short sleeve shirts and beige

chinos. Well, yeah, so.

What the fuck? And and so like.

Nazis Burning Man but evil sounds really fucking weird.

It's mental, honestly. They are.

They are literally dressed like fucking Mad Max Lob as like

people who go to there's, there's there's some post

apocalyptic lob they have out in the desert in the States.

I forget it's name now, but they're dressed like that.

It's Burning Man, isn't it? There's none in the Mahar.

Burning Burning man's like more like general hippies doing loads

of drugs. The most specific.

They do like, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah. Yeah, well, don't they?

Yeah but but there also is definitely a specific one just

for like post apocalyptic people with like spray paint and nerf

guns and fake bionic eyes and bad shit.

To be honest it looks like a fucking hoot and I bet loads of

drugs have done that as well. But.

This is this is the opportunity to talk about that Polish slap

that you saw, which was set in 1991, no.

No think it's like a trailer park in 2003 or someone one of

these really in depth in depth Polish live action role play is

when when the play like Americans on a trailer park who

was struggling with like unemployment and fentanyl and

and like gang violence and stuff like that.

And it's like that is a really in depth live action role play.

Man, Honestly, respect to the, to the, to the Polish are doing

this. Yeah, like the music.

Yeah. And the music playing, it has to

be like chocolate starfish and the hot dog Flivid Water and.

That would know why you want to hate me.

My God, that goes to copyright strike.

So there's a scene when she kind of walks in on them getting

changed, you know, and like so Darwin Tramar has got like this

really shitty kind of prison tattoo stick and poke looking

thing of like a woman just naked.

She's got a leg tattooed on that bicep and the leg on his

pectoral so that when he opens his, when he spreads his arm,

this is this is, and he's like horrendous seed, horrendous grim

seed. And and, and and and she's just

the look of disgust on Alicia Keys's face is actually just

some of the best of the film because she looks literally,

literally very upset with him second to our corner.

And the de Newmont to that scene is that she says I'm going down

when the other doors opens. And then Chris Pine waits, beat

and goes I'll bet you are. And then we cut.

Yeah. He's Sucras.

Sucras. Yeah, she called her the police.

Yeah, so, so so there's so there's that absolutely ape shit

kind of gunfight in in which in which he, you know, common wipes

out the travels brothers, which is yeah, which is pretty well.

And the exception of Darwin, who escapes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is happening.

Israel learning like lockers terminated the plea deal.

So I guess the FBI are coming to get him.

Yeah. And he finds out attempts to

suicide when I was able to go through with it.

Yeah. And then?

Pussy. Yeah.

And then finding Corollas and Acosta.

So that's really ought to. And, and, you know, the other

guy, Pasquale, Acosta, Sykes. So Alicia Keys is cornered when

Messner Ryan Reynolds sets up a position around the elevator.

Yeah, around this one particularly really irritating

fake flow arrangement, by the way, that really captured my eye

and then wouldn't let go. There's this big rounding

tracking shot to the elevator door and all I could look at was

this big plant. Yeah, not conducive to seek.

No, Yeah. And then Waters, which is Alicia

Keys's Oppo. Yeah, that provides cover from a

nearby hotel with an M82 sniper rifle.

Yeah. And basically just unloads on

the FBI team just and it's epic. It's horrible, but.

It's not just seeing people take it out by these big fuck off

rounds. And it's like, man, that was

cool. That was cool.

It's like fucking cool. I don't know what it looks like

when A50 calibre own hits someone, but that looks fucking

cool. I know.

What it looks like when 50 calibre runs hit waves.

Yeah. I've done that, but I'm sure

anybody won't. Thank God.

Still time, but. What I do know is that it

doesn't pulverise the leg by just going past it, which is

like a common misconception people put up on the Internet

every now and then. Oh.

You have seen the movie. Yeah, that is, that is the most

crazy. Seen ballistic gel testing on a

human torso. Yeah, yeah, we, we it.

Does make a rather big hole, but people do not actually explode

from it. Yeah, I I think like the whole

50 Cal round from a bar of flying pasture is going to kill

you is just like the spiritual success up to if you hit a man

in the handle of 45, it's going to blow his arm off.

I said. I said once see a video of a

Martini Henry rifle from like the bull wall.

Blow up a watermelon. That's pretty cool.

Anyway, so so. Oh yeah.

Brother. Hell yeah, Hell yeah, brother.

So it's an instigate this, this big, this big shooting fun from

from Alicia Keys. Alicia Keys is like, I think

she's getting covered behind the corner of the elevator or

something. She says something and there's a

weird like tight zoom that goes into the earpiece, follows

through the earpiece, comes out of the earpiece.

Yeah. Think a single electronic to

save the scope as well. Yeah.

And it's like, oh God, I was like, this is so unnecessary.

But yeah, they do it stylish. Not a single idea left on the

table in this movie. I mean, it's funny because

really it's like, like, it's like, it's sort of like a love

triangle. The three of them.

Because Waters obviously has a massive amount of sexual

attraction both for sakes and for our own rifle.

Because she's fucking in love with that Barrett man.

And I think that's class because you know, some some gun fucker

too. But it's like it's just

brilliant. It's like she loves guns and she

loves them. Cool.

Yeah, and this is when we find out that Acosta is not dead

because he stabs and wounds Sykes.

Then Carruthers wakes up again for last second and then shoots

him in the head. So they they both wake up for

split second to end each other and then.

You thought? Sorry.

Psych What is wreck the mic? What is wreck the mic?

What is wreck the mic? Sykes what is thinks that Sykes

is dead. So then she right, OK, and this

is one of the bits in the movie. I was like, what?

Yeah, she moves like a different location, doesn't she?

She pitched the rifle. She's like, Oh my God, Oh my

God, go somewhere else. And then she starts like blush

and then everything but what the whole time screaming I fucked

up, I fucked up, I fucked up, I fucking love you.

I fucked up. And it's like, I was like, I'm

start there going. I understand that we're probably

meant to think these guys are pretty close.

Yeah, this is unearned. There's no affection between the

two of them at this point because all they've been doing

is cracking wise. I've got nothing to tell me that

these guys are like in love or anything.

Well, I mean, I don't think they are.

I think that I think that I think that Waters is really,

really like, because I was joking about the whole she loves

the girl on the gun. But I think like it's clear to

me interpreter is, is that she's in love with with with Sykes,

you know, which which isn't sadly reciprocated, you know,

which is why she's also in love with that gun because the gun

will, you know, always be there for.

Indeed, yeah. I just didn't feel like that

would been so much enough. And this is one of the things,

you know, when I was saying like this song has about 2220

characters too many. Like this is one of the things

that you lose because like this if this had been like a mini

series or something, you might be able to establish that.

But there's there's nothing there.

So I'd buy this up anyway, and I don't want to kill Joy this as

it has to be just just in. That's that's how I felt

watching it, right? Sykes escapes to the penthouse.

She stops Darwin Truman from killing Ivy.

Darwin gets into the lift somehow because then he picks up

really on his FBI badge and puts on as suit jacket and then uses

that to escape. When he doesn't trade, he's some

fucking trade craft. Right.

But for a guy who was who old job is like somehow survivable

kamikaze mass shootings when he's like runs on FBFBIFBI

hiding his face and stuff it in a suit.

So kind of immediately, I guess he really.

Is kind of like a Fallout New Vegas bandits managing to to

100% speech check. It's wild in that kick in the

head. And then there's a scene where

Common and Alicia Keys obviously is the 2, like music stars

who've turned to actors have a scene together.

And there's a whole thing where it's like, you're making me fall

hard. Yeah, that is wild.

That is nuts. And because he.

I think he initially thought she was just one of the prostitutes,

and then when he finds out that she's also an assassin and she's

like, yeah, I love this. Yeah, and it's like, that is

wild. I mean, it's like, and I know

there's trauma bonding, but that's ridiculous, man.

Yeah, that's like wounded. And then Ryan Reynolds is Agent

Mesner comes down and they're about to have a like, a fight,

but then they stop because there's been enough killing

today. Yeah.

So they don't shoot each other. He leaves.

And then seeing the pair alive through her rifle scope was

approached by FBI agents. And then gunshots are heard.

Yeah. So I think they've located the

position that she's been firing from.

Yeah. Considering she shot about

fucking 200 rounds just. She was just fucking mag dumping

with our 50 car. The windows are blown out.

Just scream but it's like just going to hog wild.

I love it. Hog wild.

Love that shit for all honesty. So then, pretty, pretty, pretty

predictably, Locke and his team descend on the hotel and take

Buddy Israel in the hospital. Laszlo suit escapes.

You see him like, take off the face mask, I think.

So you're like, oh, was that guy?

He was like all along. Yeah.

And then Kosta is Carly on a Gurney still alive?

I didn't realise he was still alive, but I know there's a

sequel to this movie so I guess they're setting some stuff up.

She's a yeah, the sequel. Yeah, I'm not watching the

sequel and I'm going to tell you right now, mate, I'm not going

to watch the sequel. No, I I have no, I have no

interest in watching the sequel. This I've got no interest in

watching, like the three sequels to Jaw Head.

Oh God, I love it when they do that.

When they take a movie that's this is this probably doesn't

qualify, but when they take a movie that's like pretty serious

and they go, right, let's just give us this, give us the shocky

like version without any political commentary.

So like Sicario 2. Right, we've had the 2.

Let's have America's good guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's do the. Let's do the version like it

would have been done if we'd done it in the 80s instead.

OK, look free jaw. Heads right, we've got our

searing tape done over the war in Iraq.

Now let's do let's do a funny version.

But fun the Marines are. I'm just be aware that there's

like multiple multiple jaw head sequels.

I actually wasn't. Yeah, let me just quickly bring

this up. There's at least two.

You are. Holy shit have you seen them?

Jaw head 2 Field of fire. I feel like I've watched half of

them through YouTube shorts at this point.

Jawed, let's look at these sequels.

There were three direct to video sequels, right?

So just in case anyone isn't Jaw Head pill, Jaw Head is mint.

I think it's really class. Very good.

Mike, do you want to tell us if you think Jaw Head's good or not

and give us a quick explanation about what I look these sequels

up? We're totally digressing, but

it's funny. Jaw Head is a good film directed

by San Mendez, starring Judge John Hall and PSRS Guard.

I think Jimmy Fox is in it, as well as a character called Staff

Sergeant Sykes. So there's a link, maybe they're

related. Based on a book by Anthony

Swofford, and it details the plight of a bunch of U.S.

Marines during the. I think it's the Gulf War,

actually, the first Gulf War. It is, yeah.

And. Yeah, it's searing takedown.

I guess it goes into the psychology of him as a Marine.

It's the first move that really went into the proper

indoctrination of the. Not the first move because

famously Full Metal Jacket, but, but went into the indoctrination

of the Marines in that particular theatre of conflicts.

And there's that whole really dreamy sequence where like the

oil fields on fire, there's a White Horse running through it

getting covered in oil. Pretty epic.

Anyway, San Mendez, so pretty arty in a consumably takable

way. Same guy, obviously.

Did I want to say American Beauty?

Yeah, and Skyfall, I think. Yeah, big yeah.

Just a cool big American beauty vibes for the whole horse and

the Yeah, So the sequels all went straight to video.

Jaw Head 2, Field of Fire, Battlescot And disillusioned by

the war, Which war? Who knows?

Corporal Chris Merrimet has put in charge a unit whose next

mission is to resupply remote outposts on the edge of Taliban

control territory. Navy Seals Navy Seals get them

enlisted on operation of international pawns.

While you do that, I'm going to look at Jarhead 3, the Siege.

Yeah. The synopsis of that is a group

of marines must protect AUS embassy in the Middle East when

it suddenly comes under attack from enemy forces.

Benghazi. Sorry.

Yeah, and that is from 2016. So is that like, that is on the

nose for Benghazi as well, right?

We'll check, but it feels like it.

That's incredibly on the nose time wise.

I know there was like the 14 hours from that came out like a

few years later. That's right with.

Yeah, with from the office. Yeah.

The best thing is I said. The best thing is I said Jim

from the office. At the same time you said Ted

Kaczynski, whatever his real name is.

John John Mckinski lasted to Jack Ryan.

Yeah, I have review of Jaw Head 2A film I didn't know existed

until a couple of hours ago. I wish it stayed that way.

Yeah, Jaw Head Three, The Siege. We have a quick review here.

Oh my God, I really like to torture myself, don't I?

After watching the second movie and hating it, I still decided

to watch the 3rd and sober this franchise.

Was I expecting it to be any better?

No Did I expect to like it? No.

Why did I watch it? I don't know.

Again, this is the generic action movie just like the

second one. At this point there was no

return this format franchise just like the second movie.

I don't know why these movies are called Jarhead.

Don't think that's the same as original as the location and

that is not enough to call this a true sequel.

Pretty much everything I had to say if I feel if I can be sad

for this as well. Except this is a bit more

cheesy. The jokes are just a bit better

along with it being short as the pain wasn't so dragged out.

The difference in quality is very marginal but I enjoyed it a

bit more. There was one more movie to go.

I don't have any expectations, I just hope it will end quickly.

Things people who are on palliative care also say.

Law of return Major Ronan Jackson, an accomplished fighter

pilot for the Israel Defence Forces and sort of AUS senator,

is shot down while flying through a Syrian airspace.

Oh my God, it's in Syria. Holy shit.

After a miraculous he survived from the crash, Jackson has

taken cover up by a group of Hezbollah militiamen.

A squad of elite soldiers led by gutterly Sergeant Dave Torres,

risk their own lives in the hopes of safe and ally they've

never met. I need to just.

I'm uncomfortable with. This, this is fucking bad.

Jesus Christ Oh my God, I didn't realise that in Jarheads 2 Field

of Fire the main character was put by Core Hoser from

Yellowstone. Holy shit.

Wow. Anyway, man, we're getting in

deep into. A.

In the end I have no recollection of the events that

transpired prior to rescuing whoever they were trying to

rescue. Just saw it on TV, left on.

Was watching it till I zoned out for a while.

Brutal brutal. So yeah, I imagine that any

sequels made to this excellent film because I do believe it's

still an excellent film despite the hit.

US will will suck ass out loud and will not be watched by me in

private or professional. Jesus, all those movies you

describe, there are the kind of films that you you come in from

the pub with your dad and end up watching.

We got right to the end. Lots of shoot escapes.

Acosta is called away on a Gurney.

He's still alive, hence the sequel chat.

Darwin is gunned down by Elmore in that creepy little scene

where he's out in the park and gets made by Elmo.

And then he gets, and then there's a whole thing where you

think he's going to let him get away.

And then it seems, but then the shot Ling is on for a little bit

too long. I've been walking away and you

just know he's going to shoot him.

Like so so wife reaction to this film.

She was Emma was so pissed off at this point because she's like

what the fuck The 2 girls haven't got the happy ever after

married life out the whole thing and now the fucking Nazis

getting away and then I'm back. Just wait, Just wait.

And then Hollis is like. But a bit of media literacy.

Yeah, and like, like, and it's just that scene again, it's,

it's Chris Payne does get some of the best, like kind of hits

in as far as acting and the dialogue he's given to work with

is brilliant, the way they live our stuff.

And it's, it's really cool to see him playing.

It's really cool to see him in scumbag mode.

I need to say something super autistic as well.

I really like how Hollis fire 6 rounds and then the slide locks

back. So you're like, you sounded 1911

magazine seven. Yeah.

So he's clearly given it a test fire on the way there to make

sure it works. And that's why he's just got the

six. And that was like be patient

with me. I loved it, man.

It was class. I was like, Oh my God, I wonder

if it's like it's probably not in the script, but well, you've

seen that, but it won't be in the script.

But I think it's fucking cool. And I liked it and I was like,

yeah, that's because I'm a real gunshot counter.

You know the the bit when the bit when suit lights that guy up

with the two VZ 60 ones, It's like fires a bit too many shots

for those 10 year old magazines, you know, but sells cool.

You didn't ruin the film Dently. It didn't ruin the film.

Chris Pine. OK, a good movie.

I don't know if you've seen this or not because we haven't talked

about it before. There's a very good movie that

he's in where he's in swimming, approaching scumbag mood, where

he and his brother are on the run for the law.

There are a couple of robbers in modern Monday, Texas.

It's called Hell or High Water. Oh.

No, not seeing it. That's a good.

It's a good modern Western, basically.

Got it. Right, cool.

At the hospital, Messner Ryan Reynolds finally learns the

truth from Locke. And at this point I knew there

was a twist coming with Locke because they because he's

obviously dodgy. Yeah, we've not mentioned for

the whole thing, the whole thing about who was Primo Spratza.

And there's the whole subplot with that one FBI agent, 4 OSS

guy who went undercover in the fees to infiltrate the mob,

Yeah. And then was killed by Spratza

and like, you know, no, I am your father.

It's like so it turns out that, you know, this is FBI agent went

on to cover, became primos perazzar and and became this

like mob mob Lord kind of guy. And that's the big twist.

It's one of the it's it's one of the kind of like like because

it's like a double. It's just because it's kind of a

double punch of like a rapid fire twist with two at the end,

isn't it? Before we're on that, I've got

to say something real quick as well.

Real quick. The CM and the FBI raid the

penthouse. They call the structure out as

clear really fucking quickly. They're in there and it's like,

oh, it's clear. It's clear.

And fucking suits just chilling, chilling behind the bed, you

know, And these guys are like, fucking check it again.

Jesus Christ, man, It's like. Amateur.

So amateur Bush league terrible. This is Bush.

It's like Oh yeah it's clear I guess.

Fucks sake man, high speed lads. Film ruined.

Yeah, so we got another, right. So like the first sort of 10

minutes of the movie was Andy Garcia talking, and then we're

getting rapid cuts of different stuff.

The last 10 minutes of the movie are like that as well.

So we get Andy Garcia dropping the date about that FBI agent

who then we see him delivering A brief.

So we've got a brief within a brief about how he is going to

get various surgeries and also change his face structure so he

no longer looks like a corn fed white bread American FBI agent

and looks like he's from Italy. Yeah.

And he's and he's going to, he's going to take on a new name and,

and become, become Italian. Yeah, he's going to speak with

us, then we get all stuff. Yeah.

That's right. And then we see him get shot in

the grid. But then we find out that his

surgery is reconstructive. So then actually he does get his

surgery done and he becomes brats.

Yeah, because because the feds tried to kill him when they

realised that he'd pretty much gone like gone like it have gone

rogue and he was like fully in bad guy mode.

And that's why I needed loads and loads of like workups and

stuff. And then the the throwaway

referenced when they're talking about Buddy Israel's list of

crimes. Oh, he's done.

He's a finance strong arm robberies and murders and, and

even, and there's even a paternity suit in there or some

shit. And no, no, no, no, no, no, no

at at Spratzer's. And Spratzer's dodge voice

charges even a paternity suit that it turns out bum bum bum

Spratza is Buddy Israel's dad. Yes.

And the whole we want his heart, we want his heart.

It's it's like it's not the one his heart cut out.

They're sending in this guy, the Swede.

It's not a hit man. He's a heart surgeon to get the

heart out of Buddy Israel in Sperazza to give Sperazza

another like 27 more days of life or something.

Because he's like, because he's because he's older than God at

this point. I mean, like, fuck this guy.

This, this guy was old enough to have been in the OSS and then

done enough time in the FBI. You end up like going undercover

on the mafia. So he's, so he's been doing this

at least like what, 60 years? There's no guarantee that you'd

wake up from the anaesthesia. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's

the thing. It's like, I mean, and also

you've got this Swede who's like who's like a fucking head of

surgery at at some University Hospital in Sweden.

He was just agreeing to essentially murder a man.

You know, they're not going to swap those fucking hearts

around, you know, not like your buddy is real, a fucking fake

one. It's not like crank, you know,

it's not like you're going to fit a bit of mechanical model

like in crunk 2. It's not like that, you know,

like this, this, this this world renowned Dr is going to fucking

kill one of his patients and the FBI are going to be cool with

this just because as as as Emma said, America keeps fucking its

own people up, doesn't it? And it's like.

Well then you know then. You know, yeah, so obviously

nuts and that of course we'll have we'll have the scene when

some some it's a very Clint Mansell scored part of the film

is. This it literally is, Clint

Mansell scored. Well, yeah, yeah.

Like he's like, he leans basically.

Yeah. And I mean, as a musician who

who has his own kind of trademark, I can relate.

So once again, I'm playing music with lots and lots of hops and

spooky sounds and shit they get do every time, because if it

works, it works. And for Clint man style right

around for a dream works. So he just gives us requiem for

a dream with the numbers failed off.

And if you know it's turned around and it is cool as fuck.

That's not goes into the room with the two guys who who were

lying next to each other in the separate hospital beds.

He sits between them, his guns out, his badges out.

And then he pulls the keep them alive, plugs out from the wall.

And they just instantly begin to die.

You know, like, like, like they instantly begin to, you know, be

connected to God's Wi-Fi at this point.

And it's like, OK. And you've got this very long

protracted scene when everyone's trying to break in the fucking

doors. They try to break these glass

doors through to get them. And what once once again,

insightful take from Emma. She was like, yeah, this seems

like an oversight. Shouldn't if you wait, it will

open it from the outside. I mean in a medical setting you

would think there should be a way.

Trap alarm in a fridge, isn't it?

It's not. Out the fridge, Yeah, yeah.

He just sits there patiently waiting everyone to break it

and. And he's get punished, I

suppose. Yeah, but he's doing big boy

federal time for that. But his conscience is clean

because he's killed an old man who was going to tie anyway.

And. And he's killed charity prison.

Yeah, and his shit ass. See that kid who who would have

died anyway because he wouldn't have survived long in in federal

prison because somebody would have probably killed him for

money. When was when was Entourage on?

Is this before or after Entourage?

Want to see this was concurrent with Entourage and maybe wrong

was. Let's have a look on to Raj.

When 2004 it starts 19 / 8 seasons.

So this is concurrent with Entourage.

Entourage. Didn't even prevent Entourage.

Some other things I found absolutely wild about this film

is how Buddies agent is is the coach this play deal with

federal law enforcement at the high level, the highest level

right as agent, the guy who booked some fucking gigs is

liaising with a deputy director of the FBI to cut a deal with

them. It's like what?

Whatever the protein nightmare in this is this.

It's good news, buddy. It's not about the pleasiole.

No, it's I've got you judging a wet T-shirt competition a week

on Tuesday. It's.

Wild and and and like just Can you imagine?

Can you imagine when the busted Bill Cosby if the first call of

Bade was to his manager? Curtis Armstrong also also

mainly well, he's known for Risky Business.

He plays Miles Dolby in Risky Business, Booga, and Revenge of

the Nerds. Thought it was Booga.

I thought it was him. He was in a He's an American dad

as well, playing a kid called Snot.

Yeah, I feel like I've done a big disservice by saying he's

the headmaster from You Go, but he is Principal Foster and You

Go. And he was in one episode of

Lewis and Clark, The New Adventures of Superman Kane.

Kane. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's, yeah.

He's got that removed from his leg then.

Yeah, Oh man. Right.

Should we go back to Sonia now and see if what he thinks of the

movie from what I'm telling you about?

You have some concerns. Please, you have the floor,

Sonia. From the from all what I've

heard I am not sure this would have been worth the £4 I would

have had to spend if I had watched it.

What would be? It would be.

Because it just sounds a bit rage.

Say Raj, Sonia, Sonia. It's very Raj, mate.

Should we should we go for the trailer?

I went for Smokiness's official trailer #1 really utter Ryan

Reynolds movie 2006 HD on YouTube.

Good, Super. Come on in.

Good to see you, Pete. Hello, referee.

Come on in. Good, good.

Hey, come on in. Sorry about that.

RIP, Reed. Hello, Ellis.

Come on in. Let's get to the business in

hand. This wanted felon here, buddy.

Israel. Little Rick Springfield, I guess

his posse. You know, they're all strapped

or packing heat. Whatever phrase is.

I don't know what you guys call it.

Strapped down. Look up.

Hey, man, that's not yours. Put the rabbit down.

Buddy Israel No formal witness against the mob has been as.

Crucial as buddy. Aces.

He's a strung out, bossed up, has been jerk, snitch, seven way

a loser. What are you trying to say?

What's the rate? 1,000,000 bucks, $1,000,000 hit

fee would draw some huge flies. He's not only essential to our

case, he is our case. They're going to pour boxes of

bullets in Israel. They must not succeed.

When do we get concerned? If an attempt is made on his

life, it'll be made by those of the strictest professional

calibre. We're going to see the There

we'll go the little. Hipster goes on the little hip

sash. There was a speedometer.

There's some. Yeah.

We've got to keep him in that penthouse.

I think. Really.

Otto was in Knock. I think he maybe did this

because he likes being working with Joe Connor.

Maybe. Here's our our Thugs gallery I

guess. Yeah, absolutely.

You're steering, horror player. There it is.

Yeah, I'm going. Down.

I bet you are. You see what I mean?

That look on her face, man, that that is.

Whittling. Brilliant, brilliant reacting

from her there. Yeah, yeah.

She is not interested in that noise whatsoever.

OK, that's really fucking well in my opinion.

Sorry I said blurt out there but a lot.

Understand your reaction. Really.

Now that you've seen all the characters we've been talking

about, was that, was that kind of what you expected?

Not. Quite sure I think that.

So. Then the Nazi guy.

Yeah. That was not what I had in mind

when you brought up Burning Man. Yeah.

It does look like you know how carabinieri are dressed.

Yeah. It looks like if they had APT

uniform. Holy crap there's some.

There's some Googling of carabinieri on the go.

Oh yeah, OK. You see where I'm getting at?

They are dressed up half the time like fascism was a weird

sex king and that guy just looks like he had a had a like flannel

PT uniform issued from from the same people who designed that.

Okay, cool. Should we take a little break

here and then come back into the categories?

You know what what the trailer is is giving me though, is the

impression that that apparently our lives would be better films

if we just introduce short clips of us just doing this all the

time. Sadia is the first clear and

present dude to draw heat. I keep that in.

Nathan, I have the talking. Jesus holy fuck, that is also an

incredibly best St Javelin hoodie you're wearing there,

Sonia. Thank you.

That is incredibly dope. You're the first one of us to

draw heat. Being being being a weird ass

tonight. Incredibly based just for those

of us doing the audio and needing theatre.

The main Sonia is wearing an incredibly dope maroon Collard

St Javelin hoodie and the cowboy hat.

It looks like someone's clicked the random loadout button on

Armour 3. Well, you know, if you want to

make it even worse, Mike, by the way, I held back on that.

I didn't do it on on the video call with the caps and but.

Good grief, he's now he's now put on a little tin hat.

Cool. So we get into the categories.

Yeah man. Yes.

OK, cast casting. OK, so we this a humongous cast.

Stacked. Fucking cast.

Stacked. So we know the likes of Ryan

Reynolds and really OTA and Ben Affleck.

Jeremy Piven I think is relatively well known, but for

people who don't know him, Entourage primarily but Crush

Point blank Spy Kids 4. And he was this on that one

episode of Seinfeld, was he not? When he was playing an actor who

was meant to be playing Costanza and was and was calling him a

loser and stuff like that. This guy's a real loser.

He was. He's plays Michael Bart

Brackets, George. Nest Nestor Carbonell plays

Pasquale Costa. Yeah.

So he is not primarily as as in Lost, but he was also in the

Dark Knights and The Dark Knight Rises because he's the mayor of

Gotham in those in those films. At the minute he's in the

morning show, Bates Motel Shogun as well.

Chris Pine that we all know. Chris Pine only the only the 5th

best. Jack Ryan.

And how and how many best Captain Kirk?

#2 I have to guess. This isn't this isn't a Star

Trek podcast yet. Yeah, Kevin Durant, Tommy

Flanagan plays Lazlu suit. He's from Glasgow, where I live,

so that's cool. Get in Sons of Anarchy and he's

he's Phillip Chips. Chips in Sons of Anarchy and

he's in Guards of the Galaxy and he also Cicero in Gladiac in

2000 and he was in Braveheart because he's Scottish.

Joel Edgerton, Everyone is in George Edgerton and he's pretty

famous but he's full stuff in The King a few years ago with

Timothy Chalmay. Great Gatsby, there's Tom

Buchanan and Great Gatsby currently is in Train Dreams

Dark Matter. He also is played a policeman in

Bluey. Master Gardener was he's a big

one a few years ago wasn't it? Right Cool.

Jason Bateman as we all know from Arrested Development and

also tonnes of stuff in the 80s Alicia Keys is Alicia Keys.

Taraji P Henson plays Waters. She's she was in the Hidden

Figures and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Hustle and flow. The Karate Kids.

The one with Will Smith's son in it.

The one when he doesn't come through.

Yeah, the Korak, every place just confuse.

And then finally, I want to hit on one more, which is Joseph

Ruskin, who plays a Primo Sperazza because he was.

Veteran character actor. He's been at everything.

Exactly. Yeah, so he's known for his Star

Trek Insurrection, the Scorpion King and an episode of Alias or

maybe overcame Roman Alias. But if you actually look through

his career, it's epically long lose it's.

Been Mars he plays. Lose, lose into Star Trek.

He played Jack Kevorkian in an episode of That's My Bush and

and and in that same year he did voice acting for Star Trek away

team the video game. He played a doctor on the Star

Trek Enterprise. This guy literally would do

anything that came in front of him and I love that.

I respect his hustle. He was there an episode he was

in six episodes of Bold and the Beautiful.

He did voices in Spider Man. The animated series isn't

fucking bad. I should wrote snorks.

He did additional smokes and snorks.

Holy shit. Snorks Smurfs.

Smurfs and Snorks, right? So I had to explain to somebody

what snorks were, and they didn't believe me, Jesus, as

they existed. And I was like, imagine The

Smurfs if they lived underwater and like no one.

But then I was like, that's you'd be that up.

You'd be that up. Well, ask Joseph Luskin.

You know what the 80s were good time from in in TV he's got

turns in Knight Rider, Airwolf, Hill Street Blues sent

elsewhere. God damn he he was in.

He was in ATV series called Stingray, but it doesn't appear

to be the good one with the puppets.

He was in the sword and the Sorcerer.

He was in the really shitty Captain America TV movie.

Amazing. He was at Starsky and Hutch.

He was at a show called Policewoman playing a character

called Vinny Venezuelos. I have a feeling this man has

played a lot of like mafia type characters somehow.

He was a taping series called Serpico.

That that that can't be about these Serpicos.

That's right, it is. It is.

So yeah, they did make a Frank Cipaco TV show and they're

trying to procedural about Frank Cipaco.

It's I've not seen any of it. I've seen videos about it on

YouTube. It's mental.

That's I picked it up when you said Cipaco because like Cipaco.

Is like one of my superco. Sydney Lametz, 1973 Films,

Cipaco based 1971 Book Craft. Incredible, right?

He played Marioni in the streets of San Francisco.

He was in the Mission Impossible TV series playing literally 3

different characters. I think this guy was on call to

play anyone Italian or like slightly like North African

slash Middle East. And because we've got him as a

tribal leader in the Scorpion King, we've got him playing.

Sure, there's the sorry, but good.

You know what? We're giving the mindless

respect as well. Because you had a hell of a

fucking career and lived a long time, so well done.

Rest, rest easy, Joseph Ruskin. Your watch of playing a million

characters a year is ended and we have the streets from here.

What a guy that. Wins and following seats should

we? Should we do some quotes of the

movie? God yes, there's so fucking many

of them. Right.

OK, I'm going to start with not not so much a quote as section,

right? OK, it's from.

I'm holding in front of me. Not so much court in a section.

Incredible. Yeah.

OK, so this is the first scene where we meet Sykes and Waters

and the fixer Wyman. This is This is as it's read in

the script. God.

And I want you to remember, and I'm going to put a picture from

up on here, that the guy who wrote this is Joe Carnahan.

He was incredibly white. And, and in fact, where is he

even from? That's probably a detail It's

worth worth knowing. He's America.

He's from California. OK, That's that's better.

I was hoping it'd be like from like Hull or something.

To make you say yeah. Yeah, Gosport.

He's like so in Interior Diner, BC Spoon, Whole food joint at

lunch counter. Meet Cherise Waters, 33, and

Georgia Sykes, 24, Ebony Stunner's Ghetto Queens

assassins. They are sitting with their

booking contact, Lorenzo Wyman 4C1.

He holds up a copy of a banked telex, sliding it across the

table. We're putting at this point that

their gender bent in the movie. Yeah.

Wyman. How about 6 figures for this

fool? How about that?

Love what this takes a telex. Gorks shows the numbers to

Sykes. Pikes.

Bullshit. Hyman no baby they heard about

that triad, hit the work you'll put in.

They recognise the skills and this ain't no try out.

Tap dance shoe is your shit thing neither.

If you'll want this then I'm gonna go get it for you.

Waters twirls. Her long braids looks over at

Sykes Waters. So me and sis here because we

got a Rep on the rise. We chipped some nails on some N

words. They want us to drop this

mafioso so and so magician whatever the fuck he is.

Wyman swear it works girl. Y'all done dirt?

Y'all peeled some serious caps. Worse travels Sykes.

And so I get this straight we got to go in bust on this punk

and remove the heart. Is that for real, Wyman No, no,

no. You got to go in and get him,

pull him out where he at. Forget all that other shit.

That's just for flavour. I'm still getting little bits of

this and that from that cat. Pedich.

The man contacted me right now. What we got, not a telex, is a

number and a name, buddy. Israel Sykes to Loretta.

What else did Pedich say, Wyman? He said that the shit could get

hot, could get heavy. I said because I got two of the

hottest, heaviest bitches alive. I'm going to, I'm going to end

it there. But, but I just want you to.

But hopefully for the entire time I've had that, I've had a

variety of pictures of Drew Carnahan up on the screen.

Incredible. At least it was reworked a bit

in the final product A. Little bit probably be more N

words. Yeah, I've, I've got one that I

think you know what it is. I'm just going to dig into the

RIP read bit from earlier a bit longer because I'm looking at

looking at a full length one here in the IMDb.

I bet you guys got a lot of stories right?

I don't. I grew up soft with the private

schools and the little Blazers, you know, and everyone talk

things out. You know, no one ever threw any

blows. Still to this day never punched

in the face. Imagine that.

I'm pretty much a pantywist. I don't say this to be self

deprecating. I just, you know, don't have

much opinion of myself but rather be like you guys, you

know, ball fight hasn't big swinging Dicks taking care of

shit. You know, sadly this is it, you

know it's disgusting. Thanks God Dog pile of piss,

poor physique on top of a small cock and hereditary alcoholism.

Appreciate it. I'm babbling.

I do that drug, please forgive. Brilliant, but just absolute

degeneracy. The film didn't need him would

be that degenerate. The film didn't need to go to

this weird place at all, yet it did.

And that's one of the things love about this film.

It puts a ridiculous amount of backspin on things that don't

really need to be that fucking stupid and weird and odd.

I'd say. You know how I'm in the film 7,

how everything is covered like a weird layer of grime.

Like, sorry, not 7, not 7 California 7 twos Grime is held,

but specifically California. Everything in that film is

covered with just grime and dirt.

There's nothing that's normal. There's nothing that's regular.

There's really off kilter like like the the the the probation

officers got like a fucking like hook for a hand and stuff.

And then there's like it's weird.

It's this film does things that doesn't need to do and it's

better for it because it's stupid as shit in a way that

like makes engaging makes entertaining.

And yeah, like it does have that kind of everything's got a weird

Sheen of oddness on it. Things like one of the one of

one of the kill teams is just as like ridiculously overblown gang

of Nazis. And like, not only is Jeremy

Piven getting tonnes and tonnes of hookahs to his to his room as

as assistants fucking ejaculate and I'm a bit stupid, it puts

weird amounts of like just excellent and bubbling.

Dad, you are drunk. Please forgive me.

Which I said I've never seen from Sykes and Waters.

Regarding the 50 gal, yes, pull back to reveal A50 calibre right

sniper rifle on a tripod jutting just past the window, zeroed out

on the penthouse level of the Nomad.

Sykes, you got the 50 up bitch. You're trying to take down a

jumbo jet blown the moon out of the sky.

The fuck you want to get that grimy Waters the try to wild out

my Boo and it's all in Kraken. I'm laying N words out Sykes.

Damn this Kevlar riding up on me.

I wish they made this more sheer.

Waters puts her eyes to the scope scans, finds Sykes in the

crosshairs across the way, adjusting her outfit.

Waters settles on her, watches something vaguely creepy about

this bit of voyeurism. She nozzles the Barrett close.

I tell you I snuggle up with the big girl here and my pussy start

to drip. What?

What I didn't you say there would go?

She isn't Amor sexual. She's totally in love with a

gun. Sykes Sykes grimaces what is

sees it smiles to herself. What is continued.

So you heard from Keith he's still fucking with that little

tight light skinned girl. Sykes I ain't trying to break a

sweat for that sorry ass N word. What is he a dog baby doll?

He a Great Dane? I tried to tell you after your

first date he had that ass. What?

He hit that ass one time. His interest in a bit start to

landslide. Sykes you know I burned all his

shit, all that vinyl Kadamaha Funkadelic.

I burned his turntables too. They were like 3000 brand new.

Others man, fuck that N word. Let him go woof on some other

scrub. We got one another.

So all the love we're ever going to need and psych.

So there is a love triangle. Hold the fuck on.

Hold on a minute. Is this like when?

When we did that is, is this a real quote from a Tom Clancy

game, bookie game? This, this, this actually, you

want, you want, you want you want pulling Matekia, This is

actually No, this is. This is the screenplay.

This is. This is not the shooting script.

This is the screenplay that got through to prediction.

Did you see the bit about the gun making a pussy drip in the

film? No, I don't think.

So because, because, yeah, I'm so fucking.

That's insane amounts of dialogue because I've got the

scene kind of playing in my head and it takes place over a few

moments, right? Like it's fun.

They're having the chat with our comms and, and Waters is like

zooming in the scope and checking her out and stuff.

And that's way too many words for that scene.

That's way too many friggin words.

That's nuts. That's like, damn, that's really

fucking bad, right? It's.

Cool needle drops. There are loads in this movie.

There's Ace of spades by move ahead.

Obviously there's there's spotty.

I'll be dub delicious by outcast down on the street by the

Stooges And my personal favourite I mentioned already,

which is Big White Cloud by John Kale Rizza on here as well.

Yeah, it's a proper This might be the This is the first, like

proper jukebox soundtrack movie we've done.

I think it. Isn't it?

Yeah. What's what's the track that's

playing when when goes that little cabin in the woods where

the kid and his grandma? Or is that the RZA track that's

playing at that point? I think it is, but I have to

double check. I got your back by RZA.

I think it might be. I'm sure someone will correct us

if they care strongly enough about it.

Yeah, hopefully not anyone from the Wu Tang Clan because Wu Tang

Clan ain't nothing to fuck with. And we'll have to try and

protect our necks. OK.

That was the whitest thing I've ever said.

And we'll likely ever say. Yeah, Right.

Here's a factoid. So trivia.

I'm DB Trivia. Here's a factoid that will not

surprise you. All the conversations had by

Carruthers and Messner in the surveillance van were

improvised. You don't say.

Don't say yeah, that that that that was.

Let's try and make it like a like in Quentin Tarantino movie

with the with the pop culture references and the banter.

They said we won't write any, you just just do it.

Yeah, just just go on boys, Talk shit.

Come on, talk about Madonna. The song, like a virgin, he says

Dick was so big. Fucking hell.

Right, I'm going to read it as it is on IMDb, and it buries the

needle a little bit here. Writing director Joe O'Connor

needed to fill the role of a Speed Frick Neo Nazi when he

fired Michael Shannon for being rude to a costume designer.

What? Yeah, that's crazy.

And then within 1010 seconds of Chris Pine starting his

audition, he was hired. Carnahan was sold.

I want to know what it was Chris Payne did in that audition.

I really won't know what it is because to be honest, I'm pretty

sure it's went in and start fucking throwing Romans.

On the On the subject of Chris Pine, Ben Affleck remarked to

Giovanni about Chris Pine. If I could take 10% of what I'm

going to make in my career and bet on anybody, I'd bet on that

kid. Of course, we actually know that

is Ben Affleck spends 10% of all the money he makes in his career

at Dunkin' Donuts. But I'm going to put a bunch of

pictures of Ben Affleck and Duncan on because we love it.

Hashtag our guy. Hashtag our guy.

Truly is our guy. God bless that man.

This movie is the feature film debut of Common and Alicia Keys.

And this is this is Joseph Ruskin's final film.

So I'm glad we talked to Anna so much.

Yeah. Yeah.

It's sad. Yeah, I'm on it.

We've got we've got three got three good facts in quick click

session. First of all, we already know

this, but this film has not one but 2 Jack Ryan's in it,

obviously, or Jack's Ryan, I should say.

Ben Affleck, Chris Pine. Yeah, Not, not, not news for us,

but there we go. Next fact, when Israel falls on

the piano it is the same chord that is played in the Max Payne

video game theme. Holy crap, I don't know how true

that is. Funny. 3 or 30 people found it

interesting though, and I'm one of them now.

Yeah, check this out. My God.

The FBI helicopters registration number is N350SC.

Is the same helicopter that was used to the Nelly Furtado to the

rooftop in her video. Say it right?

Crap, that's that's somehow incredibly fitting for this

film. And the time period?

Whoa. Nelly, that's what's incredibly

fitting. I'm I mean, I guess you're

saying that somebody Shakey's is a real money.

Make your work hard, make your sweat hard.

She doesn't make him sweat hard, she makes me carry him to carry

her down the stairs. Yeah, she makes the put serious

effort in man. This is like this is like, you

know, like you've got the whole man writing women thing, right,

and a love is kind of cringe with man writing man who's got

this spot on because I mean, men will do like ridiculously stupid

things for women straight away a sight unseen sometimes weren't

we are we are easily made to do shit like hi, I'm Alicia Keys.

I've been shot so he's you, but can you carry me?

But yeah, right, in for a penny for a pound.

I mean, it's not like he was like trying to like flee for

zaithe. It's like a woman.

There we go. Everything's coming up Ivy.

Incredibly, the helicopter's back, the FBI helicopter, N350SC

was also used in the film next from 2007.

That's the film with Nicholas Cage and Julianne Moore, Jessica

Biel, where he can, like, see a little bit into the future.

Is that right? Well, yeah, he has his and the

FBI are trying to seek his abilities to prevent a nuclear

terrorist attack. He's a.

He's a. I've never heard of this film.

Oh right. OK so Nicolas Cage is a Las

Vegas magician you can see into the future and the FBI are after

him to so another film about a Las Vegas magician.

Hell from the Yeah yeah. So 2006 and 2007 were like years

with a SIM Higgard was used in like these two movies about Las

Vegas magicians. It's amazing.

Whoa. Credible.

You know what, Lee? Oh, N350SC.

Yeah. That is correct, yeah. 0. 0C.

I wonder if if it's on flight radar right now.

Oh. We could find out where it.

Is we we got some real autism. Ours here boys have located.

The helicopter, last seen two years ago, landed at Goose Bay,

Canada, Wednesday 6th of September 2023 at 1039 ADT and

has not been tracked since then. Oh, do you think that's the end

of its life? I think it's, I think that's the

end of its life, man. It's a town in Newfoundland, the

province of Newfoundlands in Labrador.

Yeah, located in central Labrador on the coast of Lake

Melville. Looks like a nice place, like a,

you know, a lovely farm I can go off to play with all its other

helicopter friends. I mean, it's like, I mean

scrapped or it's like holes being sold like a paintball

place or some. And there's sorts of people like

running around. Oh.

That's so sad. Although maybe that's nice for

it. Maybe it likes that.

It has a new life. It has a new life.

We've got this. There's a replay.

It's past flight also. It flew from Goose Bay.

It flew from Goose Bay so I'm watching it now to.

Thank you, Yankee. Romeo yeah, YR so that it is.

It looks like some kind of so it's flown from somewhere that's

near Goose Bay. So it's beacon has come on, I

guess over this water here and then it's fluent.

I wonder if I wonder if because this is like the free version,

we've only got like the last like 10 minutes of its track.

So so while IR is Yang Yang Romeo's Goose Bay Airport, we

are a podcast that boasts 10s of listeners by the way.

This is the kind of reason why. Dozens, dozens of us watches as

we track the last flights of a film star helicopter from two

years ago. Too beautiful.

In at least two friends. Yeah, incredible, it says very

sadly. He had no flights in the last 14

days. No Shipman.

Rest in rest in peace. We will.

We will rest in power. Entry 50. 0C blue skies, your

watch is over. How much cook in was done inside

that helicopter's hole before it's end of its life man?

Amazing makes you think cool, right?

A lot of our a lot of our categories, I'm not really

geared towards this kind of movie, but but there is one

question I would like to know the answer to.

Sonia, how would have this gone down in Germany?

Do you have casinos? It's.

Sleeping hard. So we we mostly have these weird

sport bets shops that are run by Turkish guys and also mostly

frequented by Turkish guys betting on football matches.

Jeremy Piven's going to struggle behind himself at these things.

Sure how you would get a Italian mafia shootout situation

involving three dozen hookers into that scenario.

Just have this like. You could put, I mean, if you

put this into Eastern Germany, you could certainly get the

Nazi. Right, I thought I was expecting

when I asked this this. Is good though, keep it going.

This is gold. This is gold.

You ace. So sorry.

I am also not sure Mr Mcguffin would get away with a cover

name. Israel.

Probably call him Benjamin Poland or something.

Benjamin, Poland. Benjamin Poland.

That's amazing. God.

You know, the main thing all these things hinge on is like

the shootout it early. Really.

I don't know what are you going to film a shootout with in

Germany like a two shot hunting rifle?

Well, that's not very exciting. Well, I mean, there was that guy

who like what? What wasn't that German guy who

had like fucking pants are in his in in his basement or

whatever who like. Oh yeah, that guy he, he didn't

Even so he had a working Panther tank, I think, and he used to,

to, to post now snow in the winter actually.

So everyone in that fucking village knew.

It's just that nobody snitched on him.

And it only became a problem when he became too old to take

care of that shit. And they didn't just find the

the tank down there. They also found a flock 88 and a

whole submarine torpedo on a bunch of automatic weapons.

And I think a bunch of crew served weapons as well.

They were trying to gaol him for position of well, military grade

weaponry. They didn't really go through

with it because you can't really get ammunition for a flock 88

anymore. So they had an extra come in and

and calculate how many how much cash you would have to spend to

to create like 5 shots of ammunition for that.

And they were like no, that is so ridiculously expensive no one

is going to use this to do any shenanigans with that.

They didn't actually have to call in the army to get the tank

out of the basement though, which is like a bit weird to me

because apparently that that guy has been driving that tank in

and out of there for years. So I I don't quite understand

how you suddenly need pioneers to get the tank out of the

basement when it can just run. He threw the keys away.

Yeah, that was the whole thing apparently.

Incredible, I love this. This is a big big swing Sonia.

From wolves of two shot hunting rifles to actually someone's

just using a fucking World War 2 tank to plough snow and all his

neighbours he was. Shooting at me though.

I made a very nice. Point out of you can't get

ammunition for this just well he had a torpedo but you you

probably use a torpedo and shoot out though.

But you know who could get the fund in for that Flag 88

ammunition. A certain Italian mops are

called Primos Peraza, and that's where the film comes in in

Germany. OK, I'm going to go for our

little Harrison Ford live in. But this movie have been I know

the answer to this, but this movie have been better with Jack

Ryan or Richard Kimball or President James Marshall.

I mean it. Let's fucking dig into this

thing, OK, boys, There's officers on fucking lockdown.

Nobody's leaving until we work out where I've been placed at

least one of these characters in this film.

All right? Doctor Richard Kimble Doctor

Richard Kimble is infiltrating the probasic drug announcement

dinner conference, which is happening in the conference

centre of the hotel. Yes, that they go, that they're

in. OK, so he's also trying to

infiltrate at the same time. As for Squalia Costa, Darwin

Trimmer and brothers Alicia Keys, Loretta Sykes, as they're

all going at the same time, he's also shuffling in with his

really bad like dye job on his hair and his beard shaved off.

Yeah. And they're all making a beeline

towards security because so many people are filtering in and like

flashing madges and stuff. He manages to get incompletely

unmolested. And that's how Taraji Kibble

gets in and he's like bam bam bam bam bam bang upstairs and

also kicking off. Meanwhile, he's like, Pravasic's

a sham. You think the results of

Pravasic like nobody cares? I knew we could do it.

And you're right, no one would care.

They'll be like, they'll be like shelter in place warnings going

on in security and dragging people out like Richard

Kimball's like, hey guys, Provasic sucks, Big pharma, no

one cares. Yeah.

And like, was it, what's his name?

Jerodan Crabbe, who plays the Doctor Who's like, a bad guy.

Yeah, like he just gets away with it.

Just leaves, like no one cares. No, or the funniest one would be

you think it gets weird that it captures astray from that

ridiculous 50 Cal barrage that waters puts down and his head

just gets turned into red. Best I fucked up, I fucked up

and it's like, OK, that's no reason to just like do

suppressing fire on everyone, man.

But I'm just remembering how fucking cool that scene is.

Just like that rifle bouncing with the recoil and the windows

blowing out. It's like, oh man, I love the

Big 50. Peter Falk where we would have

put Peter Falk in this movie and.

What's going to interrupt? I want him on the 50.

Yes, you know what? One more.

Thing you, you know, my wife always said.

And I have just one more run. I love the idea that because I'm

being this that like kind of like laconic sniper kind of kind

of kind of archetype that he'd probably kind of fit into in

this kind of thing. Like he's he's a very chilled

out guy, just sitting there with a cigarette reading a beaten up

paperback of something like airport that he's read like 15

times just chilling. And then when when, when, when

the call comes through, he gets on and he just he just puts down

a couple of well, well placed shots.

I mean, it's still with a massive anti material weapons.

So it's still like just causing a lot of fucking chaos.

But then like he just happily packs it up and just leaves.

And no one says what the fuck you doing, man?

Because he's he's he's he's just a nice, you know, slovenly kind

of guy. He was totally benign.

And he's just got a rifle again, because he wasn't a tall guy.

His rifle is going to be almost the same height as him.

You know, I just want to see as well, what else had possibly one

of the best chances for exfiltration in this film.

Yeah, because sex was wearing like, essentially black

technical gear. She could easily just run out

and say security, security in debt.

But it choose us to stay because she's had a crash out and she, I

don't know, like, love of our lives died and no.

But still, like, she had like, shot like, the potential of the

best, like exfiltration, I guess.

Wow. How the fuck am I married?

I think he could have been Buddy Israel's agent stroke lawyer.

That would have been so good. That would have been so good.

Actually, I got you the gig. Hey, buddy, they've killed the

deal. I'm sorry, buddy.

That's so. Turns out they don't make Quincy

no more. Oh, they killed the deal, buddy.

I'm sorry. Just just one more thing.

Can you, can you, can you pick me up some salad on the way to

federal prison? But hang tight, I can try and

get you on the rocket files. This is this is now vastly

differing from Peter Fox. Bye.

But I love it. No, it's a wheel.

Yeah, the He didn't travel as a Missed Opportunity Award for the

film. Yeah, OK, I've yeah, OK.

If you got, if you got one for like, I've got like a, a

realistically almost serious one.

And whether Emma would kick my ass if I didn't say the missed

opportunity was for for Waters and sakes to have their happy

ever after because Emma was really fucking pissed off that

they didn't go off into the sunset gown.

That's so I'm so I'm going to say that.

Otherwise I was going to kick my ass tonight.

Missed opportunity as as well, I guess.

I guess one one thing that was kind of underused was the missed

an opportunity to have more of that teenage kid in it because

he could have joined Hollis on his adventure.

Hollis could have like a morally ambiguous D&D player just

recruited this clearly sub normal individual as as as a

meat shield after making several charisma rules to get them on

side. And then just he approaches the

hotel searching for the tremors brothers and sends the little

boy in to chase them out. And then he just got a cut of

just this kid, like with a raging fucking bone at chasing

Darwin tremor out. Just do it as as as crazy cut

and stuff. And it means that Darwin tremors

like kind of robbed of his like kind of like, cool, it's fine,

we're OK, we're OK kind of thing because the guy runs out and and

this kids just screaming after him then and then like Hollis

just slots to put about his misery because otherwise the

kids, I'm gonna catch him. But it's gonna be a whole

different movie. OK, wow.

Yeah, I think my well right. So the miss opportunity for me

is this could have been any of like several different movies.

Yeah. Like this this could have been

been like an almost like Jason Bourne esque spy caper about how

Heller became Sperazza and that whole process and like how it

became so like you could have a whole movie about him doing

that. It's time in the USSS in the FBI

pitching the whole idea, getting like seduced by the the mob and

then the final betrayal from the FBI and then him becoming a boss

for real. Like that's in it that that's

like fruit is like in 5 minutes into the movie.

That in itself is a pretty interesting movie.

It is OK. Never, never, never missed

opportunity is I said it at the beginning, but like this could

have just been the raid. Like they have to go into so

much detail. They could have said there's a

guy the top of this pen house that we need to get.

It's your job to go and get him. Brian Reynolds and really Otter.

Meanwhile, a bunch of other guys are coming to get him.

But like in the raid you know how like you get on different

floors and you encounters like different mini bosses on his

way. Yeah.

They're not giving like a shit tonne of the Raid 2 fucks us up.

They're not giving like a turn of exposition.

We don't need to know who they are.

What do you think? You know, this funky guy's got a

fucking boost off or whatever. This guy's got fucking

nunchucks. Like, oh, this fight happens in

this room, you know, whereas like the Raid two kind of gets

more into it, like oh, this one, this the big kitchen fight.

But like there's all like the other gang stuff going on in the

betrayals and the phone calls and bikes and all that shit.

Have you seen the Raid 2? No.

All right, OK, so the red the red 1 is like really tight,

compact, but my building got to stop my building like dread and

then the red two tries to make and take a crime epic and it

ruins it. Yeah, right.

So, yeah, Kurds and that just simplify it.

Simplify, simplify, simplify. Cut away lots of the chaff.

I don't need to see everyone's back story, you know, sort of.

It's cool and fun. Don't see it.

Don't need to see any. I don't need to see Ben Affleck.

I don't see that scene with Jason Bateman.

I know it's a good scene, but don't.

Don't see the trailers until they're in the building.

Don't see the show keys until she's in the building.

Don't see common very much. Probably a little bit of

beginning. Don't need 20 minutes of fucking

Andy Garcia either side of the movie.

Don't even need the ending like totally different movie.

Like the whole thing ends when when when Ryan Reynolds enters

the building, it starts it and it finishes when he leaves the.

Building yeah, there were dozens of films that this film could be

like I'm I'm I, I refuse to read anything about the sequel and

don't want to look at it at all. But it's like there's so many

films this the film could have been this could have been like

that. This could have make a

ridiculous gonzo action film centering around the Trammers

brothers. It could have been, like you

said, a more like cerebral kind of like like like better, better

paced, less terrible crazy thriller even could have like

looked more into just what's going on with those bail bonds

men and the the quite nebulous thing they've got going with RIP

Reed. You could, you could.

I mean, if Coen. Brothers kind of thing.

Yeah, yeah, totally. Like you could because because

that what like, but this film is it does pull like out of a lot

of I guess at somehow less than the sum of its parts because

there's so many really interesting stories that feed

into this absolute turbo mental mess, which I love by the way.

I love this film. Yeah, man, probably.

Before we before we wrap it up, do you want to have you got any

notes on the peanut gallery? Because this is obviously a

loved movie by you. Yeah, well the premise is

actually enjoyable with some wonderful over the top

performances. I really didn't care for the

energy drink aesthetic though. Energy drink aesthetic, You know

what that that's like this, this this, this film is like 3 cans

of Bang energy, a double vodka and a couple of concussions

later. When you've got this film, man

of absolutely no creative, linguistic, narrative, cultural,

aesthetic, historical, or intellectual value, my Dick

could currently cut Diamond Four stars.

My God I want to agree with you. Chaotic Chris Pine is peak Chris

Pine. Absolutely this movie was.

This movie was recommended to me by my doctor in the middle of a

physical. Not sure if I should be

impressed or worried. The everything bagel of movies

wilfully beyond us from one glib set piece to the next with all

the elegance of a bottle of Wild Turkey.

Bob a gently at a room temperature jacuzzi.

A juvenile over saturated good time.

This was Jordan Beaumont Anderson who was the same person

who said this Dick was diamonds. By the way, this guy loves this

film before the March 2021 is the one when he says this.

Dick's incredibly hard from watching this film.

Then the the subsequent review is 90th of June 2021.

I think this guy watches this film like every every couple of

months and gives it a four-star review and just gets like a

raging stunk. I knew this would have really

fucking good reviews by the way. Bringing my 4K of this at

Zoolander Blu-ray at Terrence Malik's house to see if he'll

let me in. This is so good.

I'm learning a little about screen writing by comparing

strips to their final produced movies. 1st, don't fill the 1st

18 pages your screenplay with voice.

Gee, fucking lock in. Lock in Rory.

Do it for America. First, don't fill the 1st 18

pages of your screenplay with voice.

Don't fill the 1st 18 pages of your screenplay with voiceover

exposition for Ben Affleck doing De Bears and Andy Costasia doing

his worst impression of De Niro and Cape Fear.

Second, don't fill the last 18 pages of the terrible reveal

also provided through Andy Garcia.

That has literally nothing to do with the narrative.

You spent a lot that star on. 3rd If you're white, you should

probably avoid referring your black characters as Ebony

stunners, ghetto Queens. No, I'm not making that up. 4th

If you want to have a big emotional moment into your

characters, the audience needs to see those characters for more

than 4 minutes beforehand. We don't care about people who

don't care about. Also, don't put three emotional

moments in a row that SAP each other's effectiveness.

It stops being funny at this point.

It just makes loads of sense and while it's a very good review,

it doesn't make me laugh so the rest of it's more.

I agree with everything they said.

That Yeah, yeah, definitely. Fun fact, Primos Peraza is

Kaiser Soze. Yes, the year 2006.

I remember. I remember the day as if it was

yesterday. The Day is playing my Xbox 360.

Downloading the free Smoking Aces gamer pic package of the

Xbox Live marketplace promoting the movies release.

We're coming excited to own some kids and friends of mine online

with my new cool gamer pic. The Day is where three actors,

Matthew Fox, Nasta Carbonell and Kevin Durant, each star my

favourite TV show of all time lost, each having a role in this

film which will never happen again.

These facts have nothing to do with the movie, but I just want

to express why nostalgia play is a big part for the love I have

for this movie and its place in the timeline of my life.

Started off strong but wasn't. Going to assist.

Me shit Sanya, please say something.

We need more Sanya Khan and the fans want more Sanya.

I'm just being autistic about the mic position.

That's great to hear what he said, yes.

I am yes. No the fans.

The fans cry out for Sonya, They really do.

Ryan Reynolds trying to do serious drama is not good and a

good one here. What if Suicide Squad.

But good. Yeah, this was, this was 3 1/2

stars. This was reviewed back in 2016.

So that was after the first Suicide Squad before the second

one. And I'm just going to get one

last actually. Hold on, Hold on an absolute

closer foot. But where is my Taraji P Henson?

Alicia Keys lesbians dropping the F slur spin off where Henson

is a sniper and this and I want to see her eat pussy.

Two stars. Like I came in with a very

specific idea of the movie he wanted to watch.

It's like, listen, I mean there will go a lot of beautiful on

your reviews there. Cool.

I think that brings us to the end of this episode of Clear and

Present Dudes. Well, CIA pro or anti?

Obey. Come on.

Well, no, because it's got an OSS connection, so.

Oh. That's a good point.

Yeah, Yeah. So let's get.

Gosh, yeah, you see. Oh, hey.

Let's do. Wow, Rory.

Hey, I'm, I want to apologise. Yeah, laughing that off.

That's totally correct. That's, that's, that's, that's

OK, man. I'm, I'm, I'm just clubbing it

tonight. Nice.

Very good. Terrible.

So yeah, I guess, I guess we're seeing Auntie then, since the

only person, the only person who was in the CIA would become the

CIA to be a run in. Yeah, and and ended up becoming

like a like a mafia Don. So yeah, this this film is anti

OSS, which by definition is anti CIA.

Does that make it six to three against now?

Six to three against. There we go.

Cool. We've got to pull out some

Clancy's to get these stats back up, boys.

You follow behind, you got to pull out some Clancy's, pull out

Argo, all that stuff. Not not too soon.

For now, on, the stands are going to be untouchable.

And next film we're doing. That brings us to the end of an

episode of Clear and Present Dudes and Our Son.

You said the next one we're going to do is The Untouchables,

Brian De Palma's 1987 Prime movie, which was one of the big

breaks for Kevin Costner. So very excited to get back into

Kevin Costner where we're all beyond.

Absolutely. Yeah.

Cosna pills and dudes Kevin Buxton Cosna pills in the yellow

scenario. AB AB absolute Elliot Ness

voting. Cool.

So as I always say, if you enjoyed this or you have yet to

subscribe but have listened to us a few times, would massively

appreciate the subscription and he likes any comments.

I'd also like to make at this point an apology to 1 commenter.

You comment on YouTube video for a few good men this week who

give a plea they said I hope this isn't BS and I have a

horrible feeling that we were and I have a horrible thing that

it was BS. Well I mean maybe, maybe the

thought was just like a 2 hour long list of the the actual good

man and where to find them. Yeah, so Julie Westfall, I have

to apologise, but otherwise I hope you enjoy the podcast

nonetheless. OK, so I've been at Mike, at

Mike D249 on Threads and Instagram.

Rory O'Toole. Yeah, hi.

I'm Rory O'Toole. I'm on Twitter.

I'm going to try and post some threads more because Twitter is

a little bit of a toilet. We also have a Discord and

there's been some actual activity on it this month.

Someone posted pictures of their cats and I thought that was

fucking cool. So if you'd like an invite about

Discord, just kind of pop a comment in the in the comments

section I guess. So just send us an e-mail at.

bio on there We go Instagram as well.

saying anything. I'm also not saying anything on

social media. So don't I don't have anything

to to link here unfortunately, but thanks for tuning in this

time and see you around the next time.
