Half in the Bag: 2019 Movie Catch-Up! (part 1 of 2)

half in the bag whoa J the spooky skull has reminded me that today is Halloween happy Halloween everybody there's a snowstorm in Wisconsin oh well I guess we should get on the road if we're gonna make it to that movie on time that's right Oh lightning-fast VCR repair this is Mike oh hi grandpa Joe what's that you say power lines down roads are out oh jeez I guess we're stuck here at the VCR repair shop thanks grandpa Joe talk to you later why was my grandpa calling you I don't know wait a minute isn't your grandpa dead and today's Halloween quick call Ghost Adventures we have a haunted telephone $50,000 at Baggins it's haunted well Mike if we're stuck in the VCR repair shop we might as well do our annual catch-up video shouldn't we do that in December when the weather is even worse now that's when we'll be too busy thinking about killing ourselves talking about star wars rise of the Jedi Star Wars Star Wars Star Wars rise of rise rise of of rise of the retcon rise of spooky rise of Skywalker rise of Skywalker the title of the film that comes out in December that everyone's excited for they have 16 different endings they're still doing reshoots they're gonna be acting out the ending of the movie live I'm the first showing cuz they're not done with it yet maybe we'll be the first choose your own ending there you go it'll be like that movie clue one day oh yeah theaters different endings yeah if they're that desperate for cash like no one wants to see this movie so release multiple versions so the few nerds that do you want to see it we'll see it multiple times you're not they could do when you buy your tickets online you fill out like like a questionnaire do you what would you like to see in this movie good guys win bad guys win Emperor comes back Jedi Order restored you know like uh ah so then they make the movie well that you you it's like what like when you fill out one of those like clickbait surveys which character are you in you know this and then you follow you follow all the questionnaire and then at the end it tells you like the results yeah and so that they base what movie screening you go to yet to see the movie at this theater at this time oh great ray killed Palpatine kylo Ren restored his faith in the forest and Rey and kylo worked together to restore a new Jedi Order oh well the version I saw Palpatine came back to life and and and turned ray to the dark side and Renne turn good and killed ray oh my gosh but if it's tailored so that everybody gets what they want and what are people gonna endlessly argue about on the internet which ending was better oh okay oh this will this hospital slough of arguments Jack III I think this is the way to go and I think I think Martin Scorsese is just gonna love this idea it's just gonna love it tailor-made cinema trademarking that a trademark in that Kevin Feige I guess interactive would be it the more apropos it's not really interactive you're not interacting with the film you're just you're just making the creative decisions because that's tailor-made to your choice yeah okay so yeah you have to fill out a survey online and then and then you get your ticket printed you have to go to specific theatre yes because you know obviously and then all those people and your theatre have all answered all the same questions so you have a camaraderie yeah and everybody cheers at the exact same moments that they know are coming this this is this is this is wonderful so did you find flatulence funny and then then scene where Chewbacca farts okay shoots a crossbow and then you know that didn't test well originally like Chewbacca farting and accidentally firings but is 500 people in Davenport want to see it that's so home of the farts if you want to see Chewbacca fart you got to drive to Davenport that's right these ideas are all great it's gonna be great so Jay what films have you seen this this year oh I still use paper cuz I'm a boomer okay boomer what is that does that make me a Zoomer yes okay well if we're going in chronological order I saw escape rooms oh I saw escape room got it I escaped the room I did escape the room ones who into a room screening there was one that Tommy was so was that oh yeah and it was like a [ __ ] nightmare it was like a rock concert know where it wasn't just people yelling funny lines at the screen it was just like non-stop drunk babbling I think I called it a hockey game yeah I was just screaming I was waiting for a fistfight to break out I was like I'm out of here this isn't fun anymore well Tommy Wiseau came on there was like a QA and every question he would just go next question that's boiling next question yeah and then everybody would cheer and then and then somebody vomited yeah and then I left yeah it was it was like a like the end of Ed Wood was running out of the theater yeah I go throwing popcorn trying to Stampede the stage the [ __ ] nightmare anyways escape room I like movies about people being trapped in places and having to figure their way out of course one of the famous ones is cube I love movies like that I I thought this was okay it was serviceable it jumped into the plot very quickly with the heat room where all sorts of heat lamps started to burn people and I'm like oh the movie started that was the first room in the escape room yeah it was just like immediately McGee you're gay gave you the bang for your buck in terms of escape room adventures but ultimately it was just okay I think it was a pretty decent hit too which is I don't know in terms of financial success yeah I probably didn't cost much to make but you know I yeah I saw it a few months ago I don't remember a [ __ ] thing about it yeah there's a five six seven rooms and the point of it ultimately was spoilers the point of it ultimately was was that each person that got this magical Willy wonka-esque invitation to come to the escape room was a person that had been the lone survivor of some kind of thing oh yeah whether the woman was a military vet kid well I know somebody survived something one of them survived a screening of the room yeah very raucous everyone bring it out alive and then so some far away evil corporation was was trying to find the best of the best in terms of survivors even though most of it was happenstance yeah it wasn't like like that movie predators you know where it's like they get the worst possible people and they put them via predators yeah something I uh but plane crashed four people were with me and I happen to survive oh well we're gonna put you in the situation where you you know I'm not really skilled no I'm not lucky I'm I'm not skilled in surviving a room where the ceilings caving in and there's heat lamps everywhere that an unusual situation a flimsy premise some fun set set pieces well it's one of those ideas I think like because escape rooms are actually popular now like that's like those and like extreme haunts those types of things let's make escape rooms but what do we do with the survivors yeah yeah why do you read a script about that yeah I would prefer a more down-to-earth version of it you know where it's like you know ten people go on this escape room it's normally pretty normally runs escape room except for a psychopath takes over for a day and actually wants to torture people I guess it's kind of like saw or whatever I don't know it's like haunted ween scape room kinda reminded me of another movie Bellco experiment and and that I like much more [Music] well that was a little more fantastical and kind of crazy yeah I made it more interesting right it was this movie was like yeah this was like right down the line where it's not too ridiculous but it's not too realistic either so it's like it's safe for a pg-13 rating was it pg-13 probably lame but I like Belko experiment much more sure that that movie made me want to throw up scary I like that when people are trapped in something and they when people are pushed you know to their their breaking points and yeah people that otherwise seem nice start to shoot everybody like it's it's yeah it's unsettling and when when society breaks down but especially when you're trapped and you have to figure out a way out yeah because you know like hey do this do this it's gets he gets really into it that's why cubes so great - the acting the acting of that movie is pretty bad I'm sketchy acting in the better but the premise is wonderful so that's escape route well speaking of movies that will make you wanna vomit I saw a film called climax of course you did I have other more family-friendly movies on my list this year but we'll start with the most extreme one directed by Gasper noe who's a crazy Argentinian man made a lot of kind of extreme movies probably most well-known for a movie called irreversible so this movie is I believe it's all one continuous take or not actual but meant to look like it but it's a bunch of like Dance Academy students hanging out of the school having a party and someone laced the their drinks with LSD everybody freaks out and loses their mind and that's the whole movie and it feels like a [ __ ] nightmare lots and lots of I mean it's there's a ton of dancing it's not a like a movie you watch for the plot it's really more of like an experiential thing where it's like there's a lot of dancing at the beginning it starts with this overhead shot it's just one person after the other dancing it just keeps on going they just keep dancing and everybody freaks out there's lots of yelling and the way the camera work is it's like it feels like a nightmare like where you're just getting glimpses of things here and there so it's like other Gasper Noah films where I'd say I appreciate it for its technical qualities it's really well put together and I will never watch it again I bought the soundtrack immediately though did it have a good climax I mean not like a satisfying one from a narrative no but you know I feel awful and I want to vomit way then yes okay and a wonderful scene where sofia boutella who was the mummy in the Tom Cruise mummy movie there's a scene where the camera just holds on her as she flips out and flails around a room for like five minutes and that's Gasper no way that's what he does well bless him at least he's doing something different is this a movie you would recommend watching it on the new Netflix 1.5 yeah watch this movie at twice speed through help twice as fast [Music] can i address that real quick everyone on the internet was like stupids why you mad about this there's a fast-forward button there's always been a fast forward button and I'm like the fast-forward button is to get to another point in the film fast forward button also you know 1.5 times the speed I'm sure what their plan is you hear audio yeah and they you know it's it's you YouTube has that ability yeah and then so it's like yeah you get the information and the scene faster I can see you know a hardcore cinema you know filmmaker like Martin Scorsese saying it's its blasphemy or most directors actually yeah because it's timing editing setting up atmospheres higher craft to fill the entire craft of filmmaking is is based on exactly how they want to present it yeah unless it's the rise of Scott Walker but but yeah so I can see that being offensive to directors but people going so fast forward but no no no no no and on that note this this is not new news to me because at some point in recent history some guy discovered this may have been a while ago but some guy discovered that you can take like your average rerun sitcom and syndication or whatever and play it at like one point two times the speed okay or like one percent faster or even maybe two percent faster to where it was almost indistinguishable from the original version and you could squeeze in two more commercials oh because you shave off a minute share or a minute and a half and so it's like yeah you're watching that little episode of all in the family or cheers on you know whatever network and it's the same episode but it's just one percent faster and you can squeeze in two more commercials which makes you eat some more money Netflix is doing it for people that are lazy and and don't want to sit through consumer information move on to next thing yeah you could sit through it yes yes you can get the information faster that they're doing it - well binge watching is a big part of their whole thing so if you have a season of a TV show and you can get through it twice as fast 1.5 times whatever so I just wanted to bring that up real quick since it's a topic on the internet and since we're trapped in the VCR repair shop unable to go anywhere yeah in a blizzard well that's how I would recommend watching climax then wait till it's on Netflix and watch it at 1.5 speed do you hear that guess Gaspar oh all year all your crafts and all your attention to detail and and intricate camera movements and choreography and it's gonna speed through that [ __ ] mmm when did we get to the fireworks factory that's all I want to know yeah you could watch that Martin Scorsese film silence from a few years back 2.5 times this befoe get three three five times the movie straight and a half hours long Marty I don't got time for that I gotta watch more reruns of the Big Bang Theory bazinga [Music] you J both of us watched happy deathday to you we did as fans of the original happy deathday i died 11 times we talked about it briefly on another episode it came up for some reason oh you you you pitched your title for the third one that's right happy deathday to know happy what was it gonna be hiding anymore happy deathday 3 and many more yes although there won't be many more because I think this one was kind of a lot I drove was a huge flop but it didn't do very well yeah I could see that it got a little bonkers straight into an episode of Star Trek basically it didn't have many bloody kills and no like I mean the first ones basically a comedy but it still had that like facade of a slasher movie and they end with this one and I don't blame them cuz like they did that what do you do with a sequel like I don't know let's just get really ridiculous with it it's a big science fiction device yeah they could change time alternate dimensions in a second yeah I can't remember if I went off the rails in a fun way I thought it was fun like it wasn't great it had a moment towards the end that reminded me of like something you'd see I'm Saved by the Bell where they had the one [ __ ] girl pretend to be blind because she's like an acting oh yeah and so she's trying to distract the Dean or whatever so they can sneak into the lab I was like this feels like a like a Saturday morning children's show [Music] marbles everywhere so that part sucked but it was pretty fun a lot of it that lead that lead performance that lead girl I think is good the best thing in both movies is her little montage of all the way she kills herself right in this one she's so enthusiastic about jogging headfirst into it into a wood chipper I'd watch a whole movie of that just her constantly killing herself call up mr. Joe Sparrow from Argentina maybe he'll make that guess pronoia Hill directs happy deathday 3 they're like [ __ ] it we want bonkers of the second one let's go even more so of the third one it'll all be one shot it'll have constant techno music booming and it'll just be death after death / premises Oh God maybe if I kill myself enough times one of them will stick permanently gives up on the storyline and then she takes LSD okay and there's just one crazy death after another just the most inventive insane deaths just for two hours I'm Forrest and maybe 90 minutes let's get ya 90 minutes as 80 minutes will do 80 minutes mr. Gasper Noi give us a call we'll get you in touch with Jason Blum oh yeah he's making new Halloween movies yeah they're busy doing that they're busy running that into the ground Halloween kills and Halloween ends are the next two oh they're doing it too fur like they're filming oh yeah I don't think like back-to-back but one shortly after the other but the fact that lesson is called Halloween ends is like it won't be like it sounds like it like it'll have a finality to it but it won't it's gonna take four years to film these movies because Jamie Lee Curtis has to constantly take bathroom breaks sometimes if I eat if I used to my digestive system gets out of whack is that a dated reference does she still do those commercials I guess it doesn't matter people still make Bill Cosby pudding Bob jokes so I'm thinking only Halloween ends that comes out or end when will our Halloween and so we can get back to summer in 11 months yeah or at least so the roads are clear enough so we can go see hit films like Terminator Genisys Terminator Salvation Tsar what what is the next Terminator called deep fake there ain't no dark fate oh that that's that's a memorable title yeah it's it's just like all those Transformers movies transformers age of transformer Tron oh why why did they give up on numbers I mean these movies are just big piles of [ __ ] anyways it's not like they're they're classy when they you know they have a like a semicolon and darks they because they because they don't want to alienate anyone they want as many people to see it as possible so you don't did I see the last dummies I didn't see part three but should I see part four don't matter doesn't matter yeah because they just keep redoing it yeah it's yeah it's like those what's that late where there ladies running around and killing zombies oh the resident he resumes yes can you put those in chronological order I mean that's that's I don't think anybody can I don't think Mila Jovovich you can't I don't remember director probably can it's funny you should mention sequels not having numbers anymore because the next movie on my list is John wick 3 not John wick annihilation not John wick age of Ultron John wick is the reckoning John wick dark fate of the Moon John wick : John wick after this we are less than even well J I have not seen a single John wick movie I know people love them and tell me why they're they are exciting films well much like title it's just John wick 3 this is very basic this is really basic straightforward action films with well choreographed action camera stays back you can see what the [ __ ] is happening there really simple and just really effective and really well done so they're glorifying violence and promoting gun culture they are but nobody called them out they had to call out the Joker instead a movie that's about a very specific person and isn't just tons of people shooting each other like the John wick films for some reason those aren't problematic the first ones the bests and they kind of as most sequels do they go down but they're still consistently quality ok they're the very simple concept the first movie people killed John Wick's dog and he goes up for revenge but it's not the dog it's what the dog represents as you learned throughout the film just really really yeah there's not a whole lot to say about them cuz they're so streamlined though right so you would recommend that John wick series I would I've enjoyed all of them very characteristic of you I like an action movie if it's not stupid or obnoxious and and this one has enough style which is you know I like a lot of neon lights and that kind of thing there's a really great fight scene in the second movie that's set in the room that's just filled with mirrors I'm assuming they use digital trickery to not have the camera in the shot constantly but yeah a really creative set pieces really well done I think they're directed by stunt guys which would explain why there's so much of an emphasis on choreography and all that so yeah why they hired Keanu Reeves to act hey Jana Reeves in the right role he's perfectly fine he's charming fellow yeah I'm excited for the Bill and Ted movie as long as it doesn't suck well it's written by the guys who wrote the first two so it's both people that are involved and seems to be because I hate these like late comedy sequels where it's you see the same people doing the same thing and it's depressing but I think the bill and sad movie is partially about them being old and pathetic it's like that's great you could do that with the Ghostbusters that's that's what I always said about that original Ghostbusters three and I like the more out of shape the bohr pathetic they are the better yes yeah suck in the gut skies for the Ghostbusters one bus lines from the second one and this was all of course before Harold Ramis passed saying Harold Ramis passed nope we're done don't do it don't touch it leave it alone then they touched it they didn't leave it alone it flops and so now they're just doing it again it's like heaven the the you know after 1980 having the Beatles reunite without John Lennon or the Beatles this is without John Lennon we have that guy kind of looks like them leave it alone leave it alone unless there's an idea wait what are they gonna reboot leave it's a beaver they did that the nineties do you remember that there's no recent Leave It to Beaver movie the cleavers shaped a generation and now is back leave it to Bieber I'm worried about the beaver that was the height of taking things from like the 50s and 60s TV shows and making movies out of them now it's now it's yes taking things from the 70s and 80s and making movies out of them yes creatively bankrupt the world that we live in that's why I a champion things like John wick three I mean I guess it's a sequel but it's like a newer series it's an original property it's not a reboot of anything great hey speaking of the Beatles I saw yesterday I did not see it yesterday but I saw yesterday you saw what yesterday yesterday I don't even have the energy to do the boomer Google how old are these guys I saw the trailer for yesterday a long time ago not yesterday yesterday's a song by the Beatles it's a danny boyle film oh he's gone from Trainspotting to wacky romantic comedies and I don't have you even seen a trailer no i-i've heard the title that's all I know and so it's it's I think I've seen the poster it's a lovely little movie it you know it's it's the idea behind it is there's this guy sort of I guess you could call it magic realism or fantasy film it's almost like a fairy tale sir and and so you have to have that mindset don't take it too seriously but all the power in the whole world goes out for ten seconds and in that moment he gets hit by a bus he wakes up and he's oh god no slug and teeth are knocked out and his friends give him a guitar and he plays yesterday and they're like that's great well when did you write that I have heard his Roy the vidalus rode it and and then so he discovers he's living in a world where the beetle have not existed but he still remembers everything he still remembers something he remembers most of their songs some of the songs he's a little iffy on the lyrics so he's not like at like a hardcore like Beatles fanatic he just knows some of the songs and so he decides to take advantage of that and and claim them as his own I'm assuming there's some sort of moral to steal even well yeah you know it's like when you see the trailer you're like okay this can end several different ways like what happened you know and then and then throughout the movie too it's like sort of like a running joke where it's like um certain things don't exist anymore at the end there's a little stinger and where it's like I feel just like Harry Potter dealing with Voldemort and those girlfriends like who's Harry Potter in the more another cash making idea but no it's it's it's a I'm a big Beatles fan so I enjoy music the music of the Beatles and him playing it in different ways and the soundtrack seems to kind of like blend in riffs and themes of Beatles music and it's a cute movie it's not it's not a deep thinker it's kind of fun and then of course yeah more up moral of the story don't wanna spoil the ending and there's just there's a wonderful little surprise Oh at the end there's no real conclusion of what happened on a scientific level the Mandela effect right yeah something happened where some people remember that Nelson Mandela died 20 years ago or something like yeah it's yeah you remember things differently than how they actually have yes yes so but there's no scientific explanation so don't be expecting that just like a Groundhog Day premise then like there's no reason Bill Murray keeps waking up on the same day it just happens but it's about the love story that's what this is not a deep thinker but fun film let me just give you this advice song title hey dude well I got one of those too did you happen to watch dolomite is my name I didn't son of a [ __ ] it's wonderful come up with a new character mother [ __ ] is my game it's a it's a good would make a good double feature with Ed Wood mmm its course written by the same guys who wrote Ed Wood they seem to specialize in biopics about weird Outsiders people versus Larry Flynt's and man on the moon so they have they have a very specific structure to their movies and I would say that's kind of a detriment to this one is that it's very you kind of know where it's going at every moment because it takes moments from a real person's life and kind of works them into a traditional narrative but when that person's life is Rudy ray Moore it leads to many many funny things many funny similarities it leads to hilarity because he got Eddie Murphy trying his heart out I can't remember the last time I saw him actually giving his [ __ ] Bowfinger it was like 20 years ago damn no reason it's gonna be a good thing watch this movie hey man we can we watch the movie can I ask you one question yes is is [ __ ] are you for real in there no spoilers yes it is not only is it in there it's the last thing in the movie actual Rudy ray Moore there's like a montage of clips from his movies at the end and the very last thing before the end credits is [ __ ] are you for real with Eddie Murphy in the role no it's all scenes from the actual movies it's like we you've seen the fake version now here's the real thing so the best thing that it will hopefully come out of this is that more people go back and watch Rudy ray Moore movies because this is a wonderful love letter to him and what he did and making movies is kind of an outsider mm-hmm not only in terms of like he's just some guy that did these like really vulgar comedy albums and people are like we can't release these these are filthy so you released him himself and he couldn't get any jobs even in blaxploitation movies they didn't want him so he just made his own movie the actors we hi like Fred Williamson Jim Brown nasi you under then you're a big don't you than him dolia scene-stealing performance by Wesley Snipes yeah that only is Eddie Murphy back Wesley Snipes his back as Durga something the guy who directed the Dolomites movie he was also like an actor and he's very like pretentious in this and he's great there's a line we always quote Ed Wood and one of the the famous lines from that is when don't you want a second take for protection don't you want a second take for protection what's to protect it was perfect and there's a moment this where they're they're doing a scene from dolomite with this really awkward fight scene and Rudy ray Moore and Eddie Murphy is really great more yeah he doesn't come anywhere close to connecting with the people he's fighting with and they turn to Wesley Snipes and like do you want to do another take not only the line but his delivery of it he leaves like a dramatic pause it's so good it's it's so wonderful that the world is recognizing more so Rudy ray of Moore's magic yeah well that's like when Ed Wood came out there was people's going back and watching his movies so though hopefully that happens then I found out they're [ __ ] poor well that's the case with the Ed Wood movies not so much of 3d anymore no there there's al it's mostly like the first hour of the movie is kind of the the backstory of he's like an outsider and a loser second half is mostly the making of dolomite and that's when the movie really kind of kicks into gear I think that's maybe a slight reservation why I haven't watched it because I've not seen dolomite I've seen a human tornado and you know PT wheat straw and one other disc Oh God let's go Godfather yes that's it yeah so so the very first one I have not seen I've seen the three other ones it really doesn't matter it's not like I remember when we saw the disaster artists and it was like the only laughs you get are out of recognition from write the real movie but this has a good story because this says yeah you're honest luck die moving his way up doing his own thing like a Rudi no duty another Rudi they do kind of and we've talked about this before I think when we talked about Ed Wood held it's like when you watch a movie like this you don't necessarily you shouldn't go into it anticipating an accurate depiction of the events like it's it's you know and strung together in a narrative so they do kind of combine dolomite and human tornado because like there's a sex scene where they're filming the sex scene and like the ceiling collapses and that's a scene from human tornado at the end of the movie he's watching the Dolomites movie in a theater with a bunch of people and most of the clips they're showing or actually from human tornado so they just kind of combine those two into one movie for those there is a little nod to PD wheat straw to when he's talking about all the things he wants to put into his movie keegan-michael key is the screenwriter and he's telling him all of his ideas like put this in there put kung fu put this and that and he's like and The Exorcist is big so put some devil [ __ ] in there I don't know how that fits into our urban motif you know some maybe you read I don't know be cleaned up Green vomit and [ __ ] of it over time we put the devil in another so it's a wonderful movie good supporting casts similar to Ed Wood you have all those it's like the structure of like The Muppet movie where it's like you have your character with a dream and then they have all the other or The Wizard of Oz or they meet all these characters along the way very traditional structure but it works for a movie like this god damn Dolomites you well speaking of biopic s-- i don't call bioptics that's that's the proper way is biopic not drop IL pick is not proper I just don't like the sound of bike if and Geoff no yes I know right technically the right way but nobody says it exactly biopic is the right way and pumpkins do not grow and floor but speaking of a by optics that that aren't maybe not exactly accurate you know or take some liberties I saw rocket man I'm thinking of changing my name to Elton that's more [Music] systematic you deserve you're gonna roll with the the music I know I well you know Beatles Elton John love Elton John Elton John is favorite mine crazy cat that out and John loved them well yeah so this came out around the time of that Bohemian Rhapsody I think a later then little after and and I remember what seen I've seen clips of I haven't seen Bohemian Rhapsody but he's seen clips right yeah it's got that robot mr. robot man yes whatever his name is and that that had a creepy vibe to it because of Brian singer singers fingerprints were all over it it's not the only thing his fingerprints are all over that up swing that that's a baseball oh oh there you go it's like a bunt that joke which ties in the recommend plays Yankee Stadium anyways um so yeah I didn't want to watch it and then that guy and the there's a lot of parallels both have fake teeth and a little gap tooth appliance on and then of course mr. robot has it's comical horse teeth in and other than having this the creepy Brian singer vibe on it it seemed very straightforward also mr. robot doesn't sing it's all Queen music dubbed over and this Taron Egerton a curtain I think it's edgerton I should look these things up the Kings have been kid actually sings okay and so it was very and then the story line is very like it's almost it's almost like a like a Broadway play it's not your straight narrative thing people break out in song you know you know things like that because their movie itself is actually a musical it's not just yes and it's um it's have you ever seen Moulin Rouge I have okay it's very he's a [ __ ] nightmare very similar to Moulin Rouge not in it's like where what's his face you and McGregor is actually singing yeah and he's like so okay edit but you give them points for actually doing it that's the same thing with this because the only person you don't do that for is Russell Crowe and lame is he actually saying so if they can kind of pull it off then you give them points for the effort as opposed to overdubbing and I'd rather see that then yeah where it's just yeah Freddie Mercury's voice coming out of mr. robot yeah and then then you can argue that you know Elton John is a serviceable singer he's a better songwriter but but you know you you got to find a very special person to be able to act and sing like Freddie Mercury that's a different story altogether it's Freddie Mercury you know vocalists can't really and that would be embarrassing try that but Elton John anyways um so you know the movies like kind of fantastical and yeah it's like a musical all the characters are singing and dancing and you jumping around and you know it's not like so it feels like you're watching a play so you know I enjoyed it well Mike I have a question them cuz Elton John is gay Freddie Mercury was gay and the Freddie Mercury might have bisexual I I just all I know is that no Bohemian Rhapsody movie they severely reduced that to make it almost nothing is there anything in this movie about him being gay that's what the entire movie is about oh okay um that is that is the ultimate arc because Elton John actually didn't marry a woman hmm under the pressure of publicity for who she he married her for like a year okay but yeah that's that's that's the crux of the whole premise as I've ever seen criticisms about Bohemian Rhapsody for that oh they like severely reduce the sexuality and that's a big and that's another thing too where it's like and then I've seen clips where it's like they're you know they're it looks like an x-men movie because the cameras flying in and you have all these digital people like yeah and I'm like I don't know about this one I don't know if I want to watch it they never did I didn't see um and mainly because yeah this one this one is a little little less this one like I said a little more whimsical and fantastical like kind of like how Elton John probably would have loved it even though he's not dead he's alive but yeah everybody was pissed off when he came to Milwaukee for the the hundred year Harley Davidson rally that's embarrassing Elton John's got some rockers come on not if you're you're a 300-pound bearded guy in a leather vest you don't want to listen Elton John you don't really want to hear candle in the wind blow out that candle with my exhaust don't [ __ ] off buster you're a crazy DC we're out ZZ top not ZZ bottom [Music] that joke that joke was forming in my head as I said it that's amazing [Laughter] anyway great movie well Mike I saw probably the most anticipated movie of the year rise of Skywalker's pants just because of our camels old yeah he's got an advance hey come on I'm sure no but I saw the Pet Sematary remake my only question is why whole town's been using this place for generations folks make a kind of ritual out of it well I was characters it's two guys they did a movie a few years ago called starry eyes that I really liked oh yeah I think I saw that yeah actress sell your soul to Satan oh it's wonderful it's a very good movie the really great Oh cuz it was an original movie and not a remake exactly why sucked up and cashed in the check the ridge the the typical thing although I think I heard something and I don't know if there's truth behind this that the reason this movie was even made is because whatever studio paramount I think owns it so they just [ __ ] out a movie really quick I mean it sucks I was curious about it cuz of the filmmakers but it's not good leave them buried sometimes dead is better it looks nice but it's like it changes something this is kind of a spoiler but they give it away in the trailer which is you know it's the family they lived by the highway with the trucks crime by in the original story and in the original film truck hits the little baby gauge gauge the little kids remember the name sounds like that's a weird name yeah that's the movie Denise Crosby left Star Trek The Next Generation to go make yeah she's not good in that movie that's the biggest problem in that original movie the the the lead guy is boring as [ __ ] but you got Fred Gwynne who's awesome in that movie there's anyone ever buried a person up there nice on his throne no but this movie they change its where it's not gage that gets hit by the truck it's the older daughter which one is less bizarre really the Tasha Yar niece Crosby was the mom well now she plays the older daughter that doesn't make any sense because this is a prequel [ __ ] is happening to your brain well they change it to the older daughter which is like the most overused thing in horror movies the creepy little girl you know the hair hanging in the face Tommy girl I think they did it because modern studio idea would be that killing a baby is too horrific for a horror film sure so they made it the older daughter and it fundamentally ruins the entire concept of the idea from the original book and what the orginal knew how old of a daughter are we talking seven eight nine okay I guess what it's like a baby hears like a toddler yeah so they walk and it yeah because when I think of that original movie and the original story like it's it's more it's less like scary and more sort of tragic and bad it's heartbreaking the toddler gets hit by a car and they yeah it's like of course you would want to bring yes child back even though you know the consequence I mean still want to bring your eight or nine year old back but it's but it's yes lessons that impact motional residents yeah so that that effects the entire movie and then the last 15 minutes really changes things from the story to the point of ludicrous II where I was practically laughing at her [Laughter] [Music] well it's still cold we still have more movies to talk about yes this conversation has gone on much longer than I expected well let's have it go on longer but we'll take a break and then come back yeah like in another segment or a part you know what a continued continued like tomorrow well I guess we can't leave because the roads are closed whatever [Music]

hell yes, these are legitimately some of my favorite videos of theirs and it has been so long since the last one

[u/Tarlcabot18]

I legitimately love Clue: The Movie. I'd love to see a re:View of it.

Mike's love affair with that skull vodka bottle is one for the ages.

[u/HolyCrapImAHippo]

Never in my life would I expect Mike to say "Ok, Boomer."

[u/TitBreast]

How the fuck has Mike not watched Dolemite is my Name? What has he HAD?!

[u/CTRL-D-]

Of all the jokes that made me laugh out loud... and what made the thumbnail was “Ludacris was in it?!”

[u/BaneReturns]

I just made food, sat down and had that awful "I don't know what to watch while eating" realization, and then I noticed this was in my subs.

This is a blessed feeling to experience.

[u/KUARL]

Didn't TNT or some other cable network get busted for airing episodes of Seinfeld like 15% faster so they could squeeze in an extra commercial, as Mike kinda alludes to about 14 minutes in??

Oh, it was TBS and they only sped them up 7.5%

[u/MDuBanevich]

I find it hilarious that they're using props from nerd crew as mugs.
