Half in the Bag: Doctor Sleep and Parasite

half in the bag roll out the dogs out [Music] huh what's so interesting well I read this entire book only to get to the end and find out the ghosts aren't real guess I am a dummy Mike since you're on with that book you want to go see a movie sure Jay how about we go see birds of prey yeah hmm would you have any more interest in that movie if they changed the title yeah how about the sonic movie yeah would you have any more interest in seeing the sonic movie if they changed the graphics yeah well how about cash no would you have any more interest in seeing it if I told you they'd improve the special effects yeah well since there's no new movies worth seen maybe we can talk about a couple movies that came out months ago one that nobody saw and one that now everybody's going to pretend that they already saw Oh Jay I saw doctor sleep months before the Oscars I mean parity when I was a kid there was a place dr. sleep is both an adaptation of the Stephen King novel and a sequel to Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film The Shining the Stephen King novel is also a sequel to his other novel The Shining but the shining book and The Shining movie are very very different and somehow dr. sleep is a sequel to both the book and the movie hey remember that part in the Kubrick movie where Shelley Duvall walks past the room and a guy in a dog costume is giving a [ __ ] to some dude what was that about oh my gosh there's a chapter in here about what to do if you're stuck in a haunted hotel oh my lord with ghosts from all centuries there to feast on your fear health hazards from ghost hunting allergies dust and mold does anything about asbestos about vision and how he got haunted so hard that he had to wear glasses got haunted so hard by a demon that [ __ ] his vision up he was definitely haunted by a ghost so hard that it ruined his vision Jay he was simpleton it wasn't a ghost it was a demon oh yeah here to talk about ghosts we're here to talk about the belated sequel to The Shining yes nobody saw this movie in theaters it came and went and flopped pretty hard it was weird because you mentioned it and I was like I wonder when dr. sleep comes out and it had bout for four months yeah and I was a lot of marketing behind it and I think it's already speaking of title changes and how the birds of prey movie they're so desperate to get people to see it that they changed no it's Harley Quinn now you know that name and I think that was part of the thing is this movie even though the trailers tried to make it clear that this is a sequel to The Shining I think most people just see that title knowing dr. sleep why yeah it's an unfortunate title I mean I'm title of the books yeah it's it's a it's a fine title but if you're trying to get a theater going audience to see it's not even really a soft reboot but I think they're hoping for that kind of skull to shining about the shining to know you they would just call it The Shining that's really with that or no shining shining get rid of the duh it's cleaner but it's I think a really interesting movie we haven't talked about it yet I enjoyed it a lot I didn't think it was amazing there's a dated quality to it which I love I'd say that's what I liked about it it felt very old-fashioned it felt very 90s it didn't feel 70s no and that's important to point out is that this is not the shining this is not someone trying to make a Kubrick movie right and that's to the movies benefit because you can't do that it's doing its own thing it's an x-men movie it's it's a very weird kind of different it's not a very scary horror movie although it has some of the more scarier scenes I've seen in a movie or I should say disturbing yeah scenes that I've seen in a movie recently but um yeah there's sort of like a over emphasis on the the powers and abilities of people with The Shining so it really should have been called The Shining instead of dr. sleep but it's funny too because Ewan McGregor's is leading it the way they talked about the shining in this sometimes it sounds like they're talking about the force yes and there's there's that confrontation scene at the end with him in the bad lady and he's holding the axe yeah like a light saber he's like are we ready to do this I had the high ground wanted him to say I betcha he said it like as an outtake on set yeah and just laughs it's locked in the vault somewhere and they all had a good laugh when I starts run yes you run dear and then I will find you and you will scream for years until you die the dialogue is very confrontational like in a in a science fiction a superhero kind of way yeah because there is even like mind tricks like Professor X would do like way you don't realize where you're standing yeah and everything changes it's a weird movie and I can see it did you read the book I did read the book okay I and that's yeah it weird is the right word because it's it's just it's a adaptation of a book that is a sequel to another Stephen King book but it's also a sequel to the Stanley Kubrick shining film right even though the shining film and the shiny book are very different and somehow this manages to be both and most importantly be a sequel to a Kubrick movie and not fall completely on its face yeah when I when I first heard about the book I think someone described it to me as like oh the little kid from The Shining he grows up and fights vampires which sounds like the worst weirdest like ever and that's kind of what it is but it mostly works they're humans they're not supernatural nope but they yeah they feed off of our fears and off of our right and it's people with the shining it's even stronger well no but the shining is sort of going away they say over generations these people have been living for hundreds of years but the shiny is not as strong as it used to be yeah it's weird it's like bringing this and this is all in the original the original Stephen King book of The Shining I mean it's called The Shining but in the Kubrick movie everything's a lot more vague as far as what the shining is and what's reality and what isn't and this movies a lot more it's a lot more mainstream it's a lot more streamlined as far as the story goes but it's also like we said very old fashioned in a lot of ways it's very slow it's very mannered it's technically a horror movie but it's more of a drama with supernatural elements which are lights yeah yeah it's oh it's a bunch of different things it felt like a very long TV movie multi-part TV movie from the 90s I think it probably would have benefitted from being like a Netflix cuz it's Mike Flanagan yeah the haunting of Hill House and I have read the book and and this the movie feels like condensed of course cuz it's a movie adaptation sure it tried to be as faithful as possible but still some of the elements felt rushed which has alleviated a bit I did watch the director's cut and that gives it a little more room to breathe but yeah I think is a three four five part series on Netflix yeah it probably would have worked better and it probably would have reached a wider audience so what I got in that word of mouth the way haunting of Hill House did do they go to the the Overlook Hotel at the of the book in the book no or that's that it felt very movie that's that's the big deviation is in the original shining book the hotel burns down so in the doctor sleep book they go to the grounds where the hotel was okay that's what the big confrontation is yeah the more it relies on the Kubrick movie that's like the weaker aspects of this movie it seemed more fans service see for lack of a better term yeah about these ghosts exactly it's sort of lady from the bathtub and so yeah they needed this year once I get it yeah exactly like but when he first gets the Overlook and he's walking around and like the lights turn on is like oh this is good this is perfect and I can understand the temptation to want to cram in like everything cuz there's so many iconic shots and images from that Kubrick movie the one thing that was very sore thumb issue was when Rose is walking and she just stops and looks and sees the blood elevator and then just keeps watering it just keeps going although I don't I think that was just a random disconnected shot in the shining it wasn't something danny visibly witnessed right it's yes just like yeah but I mean obviously political making weird faces yeah and the shots are very disconnected very disconnected so it's debatable whether or not that was in Danny's head but but roses our lead vampire vampiress yeah Rose the hats rose who wears a magician's hat and she leads a group of vampires from young to very very old from young to lurch from young to alert and yeah like you said they killed Jacob Tremblay which is a great scene it's [ __ ] horrific but it's it doesn't feel gratuitous it's relevant to kind of making you understand like why all these creatures need to be put down yes it's normally that cut away from gruesome child murder in movies but this one they didn't and it was very effective in making you hate these psychic vampires yeah well and obviously obviously the the abuse of children is a running theme in the movie Danny little kid now grown up to be you and McGregor who was fantastic in the movie sure it was nice to seem in the lead I think like other than the Trainspotting sequel that nobody wanted that feeling he's mostly been supporting characters in the last like decade or so he's his bad guy in the birds of prey film yeah I've never heard of that film but I am interested in the Harley Quinn birds of prey movie oh okay [Music] there's some pretty scary weird [ __ ] up moments in this like the opening when we see Danny and he's he's boozing it up at a bar he gets into a fight and he goes back to a lady's apartment there's snorting cocaine and he wakes up after a drug and booze-fueled night and the lady threw up in her bed and he sneaks out and then he steals her money then he decides to steal her money because she spent all of his money on coke does he in the theatrical cut does he talk to dick Halloran right after that yeah well he's in the apartment yeah okay don't take a money from a person yeah I think this discussion is longer in the director's cut but that feels like the biggest difference is there's a couple scenes with dick Halloran that there's nothing like groundbreaking in the director's cut it just kind of flushes out certain things but he talks about in that scene I don't know if it's in the theatrical but dick hallorann because Dan's trying to his whole thing is like blocking out the or closing the the spirits from the Overlook Hotel in these kind of memory traps and he's trying to do that to this moment of him stealing money from this passed-out woman with a child no doc you can put things from the Overlook away in boxes but not memories they are the real ghosts you take them with you oh that's a great line I don't know if it's in the theatrical cut but it's good but yeah again there's a child on that scene lots of lots of and like I've mentioned we mentioned the Jacob Tremblay scene like one of that's one of the themes of the movies could have abusive children and even when the the true not they're called the traveling van of vampire people they pull up next to after a baseball game and yeah there's like trying to get him to come into the van it's not like sexual abuse but it has that kind of connotation of like getting the van little boy oh yeah his dad by the way at the baseball game right before that scene his dad is the the kid that played Danny in the original shining no [ __ ] never done another movie he hits the ball every time like he can read the pitchers mind I thought that was pretty neat I suppose he's one of those actors like he was in that he wasn't even really an actor that's why Kubrick put him in the movie so he'd feel more natural but where there's been like urban legends about him for years about what happened to him after the shiny and it's like oh he's just a guy works at the local true value I think he's like a teacher or something are they saying buckwheat he worked it like a grocery store or something you remember that we found him at Smitty's supermarket where he's the most popular bagger for miles around George what was your reaction when you saw bill English say he was buckwheat on television well my my first reaction was what and I remember the kid from Wonder Years was Marilyn Manson - oh yeah urban legends you gotta love him that one turned out to be true though like me I don't know about magic I was called it the shining well the speaking of young Danny I want to give this movie an A+ a gold star first-place ribbon Blue Ribbon put it on the box for hiring actors to play the younger versions or the versions from the shining and not sticking a [ __ ] stupid CGI face on somebody yes I thought that was joyful I thought everybody was good I thought Jack was distracting his accent wasn't right yeah well they gave him it's what's-his-face Henry Thomas the little kid from et Oh because he was on a Ponting of Hill House - okay and so they gave him like the Jack Nicholson hair line and the eyebrows and he's doing like the Jack Nicklaus Merck like that to me was distracting Danny and Wendy were perfect but yes something about I mean Jack Nicholson himself is just so like specific and iconic that that I found distracting it's a great scene it's it's kind of the heart of the entire and it's really really good but mildly distracted by the the Jack Nicholson look-alike you know I'm okay with it because they shoot him mostly in profile and he his accent is is sort of a mixture it's not really it's not like someone doing it Jack Nicholson impression and and it because that's one of those like you know famous impressions that people do Kristen Slater's built an entire career on it right so it didn't stand out as being because people would have giggled yeah if he did like he you know and started doing Jack Nicholson from The Shining it's such an iconic performance and I think people would have giggled so they said to--and it done there are a couple of moments where it peaked up here and there where it kind of sounded like yeah it's more visually for me or he looks like a celebrity impersonator because they do like the exact same hair love yeah it's a great scene yeah it's it's my favorite scene in the movie and wendy is perfect to whoever they got that's Alex s oh is her name she was the lead in that movie starry eyes okay oh yeah yeah when I heard she was casting this as Wendy is like that's [ __ ] perfect she looks exactly like her and she's a good actress you I mean she saw this funny looking at Shelley Duvall back but she nailed the impression yeah well they capture the without doing impressions they capture the kind of essence of the characters dick hallorann - it's like I almost forgot that I wasn't like he doesn't look like Scatman Crothers but you still kind of get was a scene yeah because he just captures that kind of essence perfectly it looks a little bit like him but but yeah it's the tone of the voice and the the performance yeah the way he talks to Danny is great the starry eyes girl probably I just picture them watching rewinding listening to every the wind shall we do peaks her voice oddly mostly sounds like herself but when she there's that part when Danny's talking to callie rainey you scare me have to do but yeah point being no CGI phases of that's the point yes is is I've always like I don't know when you see the movie and this shows a flashback I mean they did it well and Terminator Salva Genesis whatever the [ __ ] the last one was called dumpster fire and Isis I don't know what was the call he's counter hey dark stool deep fake hey that's what we called it yeah yeah cuz it was that was really good looking to the point where I was like was that some kind of cutscene yeah but that was pretty minimal like doing something where you have to have him perform oh yes movie then it would have sucked yeah but I just I don't mind that like a different actor plays the younger version from and they recreated some of the scenes you know Danny riding around on them and they created a lot of the scenes and even if it isn't directly recreating it there they're a voguing imagery from well early on I wanted to mention you and McGregor goes and talks to Bruce Greenwood Oh leader yeah yeah that scene that office is shot exactly like the office scenes when Jack is on his job interview and and even the shots and the wind and then the two chairs and the window over his head and the American flag on the desk and everything is off to the next scene early dissolve the next scene and it's just like yes summer stuff like that more so than the end of the movie yeah remember the shiny know over and over a little that's why I said that's all not keeping it's more subtle like maybe seeing the the creepy woman from room 237 and like that's it as kind of a visual representation of the entire hotel or some sure artist and walking around the empty hotel I was thinking there was what a waste like they built all these magnificent sets that look just like the sets from The Shining and such a small part of the movie yeah but it was also weird whatever like and I don't know this I think this has to do with how they shot it but like yeah it's it probably exactly two to the centimeter recreations of the sets but they don't feel as big and I think that's just like Kubrick loves wide lenses so it all feels much larger and in this movie it's the exact same sets but they don't feel as large and I think it's just probably how it was shot yeah that's another thing that may I think made it feel a little dated was it felt very unscented a lot of it yeah I mean I I appreciate that I like the Mike Flanagan he has a visual style but it's very subtle he's not very show-off he and there's some really nice shots in this movie sure the way they visually represent some of the elements of the shining reminded me of like a nightmare and Elm Street movie like when Rose the Hat is in what's the girl Abers bedroom oh yeah she's like looking through her memories and we're seeing it visually is like giant filing cabinets going up to the ceiling and stuff like that I thought was really neat no I don't know I don't get a strong visual sense I kept watching scenes from this movie and they they kind of look like they look like a Netflix show like like really kind of like done quickly and flat and I just picture wanted more gritty more more contrast more dynamic images in a horror movie just very haunting of Hill House Hani Nicholas is probably more visual than this which is weird yes that's what I mean but yeah I mean it's it's mostly character driven you know doesn't get flashy unless it needs to be a lot of the dialogue scenes to me for a movie that tonally feels so different from the shining I still felt a connection between the characters yeah from that movie in this movie which is pretty [ __ ] big accomplishment but it's a wise decision to change from the book as is often the case with Steven Keeny adaptation yeah you gotta you gotta give it that movie hook yeah movies secretly about battling alcoholism yes because he's like yeah that great scene in the AAA meeting where he talks about how drinking kind of made him feel more of a connection to his father like it's really well done right right drinking and the temper and the anger those things in me were his and they were all I could know of him but erratic stuff in this is better than their horror stuff as often in the case Stephen King that's true this does have like a like a warmth and a humanity - it's like the polar opposite of the Kubrick movie since that's so like yes cold and Stark but I really wish the the reason it movies were kind of more in line tonally with with this and not goofy evil dead vomit monsters right yeah yeah this feels like more grown-up which is why flops more of an adult watch at home so this this probably would have been a better Netflix II thing yeah and I think in the part of the reason we're talking about I think it will have legs like nobody saw in the theater but I think it's some I think it's a really it's not a perfect movie but it's an interesting movie and especially the fact that it's a sequel to a Kubrick movie that works as its own thing mm-hmm it doesn't isn't like an an embarrassing mess this is impressive and I think I think it's interesting story on its own to where hopefully this has some legs and more people will see it now yeah that's the thing as for a sequel to The Shining it doesn't do it the way the Hollywood brain would want it done right Jenny's back watching over a different hotel yeah his wife and small daughter [Music] you [Music] oddly enough I would recommend the director's cut over the theatrical cut I think it plays better in terms of pacing because you're a film snob I guess you're a film snob who likes longer directory movies you probably watch movies with subtitles speaking of which have you seen birds of prey this all started when the Joker and I broke up it was completely you chewable its birds of prey I'm sorry it's parasite the movie rednecks love to hate [ __ ] America how many people actually [ __ ] see you parasite can someone please raise your goddamn hand I don't know a parasite a parasite is about a poor family that moves into a rich family's house with the intention of conning them for much-needed cash from South Korean director bong Joon woo it's the first film to win Best Foreign Film I'm sorry Best International Film and Best Picture at the Oscars what wonderful non-political speeches the director gave after national feature I thought I was done for the day and was ready to relax at least didn't act like Roberto Benigni a moment of joy and I want to kiss everybody because you are the image of the joy and he you kisses the joy a city flies leaves in eternity sunrise they said the poet and this is wonderful to be here we should point out we were planning to talk about this movie even before it won I know we were talking about doing this before the Academy Awards happen we were je with we watched this before at walls oscars yeah I didn't even know it was nominated for as many cuz I hadn't paid any attention to the Oscars this year but it was nominated for a bunch and it won a bunch I don't want ya to me a movie like parasite kind of felt like an underdog I was surprised at won as much as it did I not in terms of the quality of the movie because I think it's a great movie but just in terms of like Hollywood standards and the type of stuff that usually wins Best Picture it's usually something that it's kind of safe good but safe and it's a movie that can win something like Best Picture at the Oscars but can also appeal to someone like me that likes twisted weird stories yes because it is that too didn't feel like Oscar bait no it felt like he was trying to tell a story with with a message in it without being because it was a little over but without being too preachy or too like showy yeah or look at me look at me well it's a weird story I want to tell ya a story that I mean obviously the entire movies metaphor for class and the difference between between classes but it's not like a like an American version of this I'm picture it being so hitch over the head not that the the metaphor of the movie is subtle it's very obvious but it's also vague enough where it can be universal yeah like like I think that's why this movie has hit so hard is that so many people can relate to what it's talking about as opposed to something like Star Trek Picard which is like the the writers liking the smell of their own farts and even removing the metaphor from it it's just a really entertaining story well I mean the history of the world has rich people and poor people poverty and wealth and rags-to-riches and those kind of stories the the story where the Prince goes undercover as a popper prints on the popper tails oldest time kings and peasants and bah-bah-bah it's an it's an old story yes nothing to do with modern economics or politics it's just it's a fairy tale you you you can make connections to those things and that's that's when it works is when it doesn't feel preachy or it feels like the the filmmakers are talking down to you right yeah they're not preachy enduring pandering preaching or pandering or trying to tell you to think this way or that way it's just that's the two life circumstances of these these two families and that's what's great is neither of them are they don't try and paint like the the lower-class family is like pert like they're frauds that's the entertaining part of the first half of the movie it is them scamming this rich family but the rich family are not evil right they they have problems and they're they're very disconnected but they're not evil people neither of them are evil yeah you wonder who is the parasites the movie yeah movie and and yeah it's a twisted and fun and unexpected because I think the joy with parasite is that you know I've seen that poster and it's got the black bars and they're just like family standing on the lawn and there's like dead body laughs it's like that Thai redneck was yelling in his in his video blog know what parasites about I watch the video multiple times and it makes me laugh and feel horrible every time I'm sorry if you want best porn film you should automatically be invalid to even be qualified the win Best Picture look at United States of America right now what is more pouran to our culture than the Joker about a movie about how people in high places looked down and thrown upon the poor the poverty this is America this is United State America you know like I was originally getting so much hate on that video that he liked he private it but then I think he realized that it's the only video on his channel it's gotten any views so in an act of pathetic desperation he made it public again just so you get more attention but who gets angry over the Oscars but why would you get angry over what won but even if you really really loved a movie why would you get angry well in this case he was angry because it's political this is woke Hollywood giving the award to parasite forget all these [ __ ] social problems that Joker touched upon let's have a better woke agenda and let's go full [ __ ] bull I'm not exactly sure how the Academy and all that works it's a collective it's like you're an Academy member if you work in the industry right and then you vote yeah and and I'm assuming a lot of it is based on what people have seen and based on word of mouth and and that that's that's you know that's when the the faux outrage comes from you didn't nominate this person this person this person AMA nations are not equally diverse of everything right right and I think that's like we saw parasite and we saw you know a couple other films and and I think a lot of it is just kind of like we didn't watch parasite because we wanted to show how woke we are I don't I watch people did well that's what that's what I'm saying yeah this guy is blog or whatever is stupid right because people see everything is like this group of like like five people in a hidden bunker or secret tower going AHA haha here's what we're going to do not going to nominate a woman this year you know what I mean it's yeah it's not it's just what people saw maybe not and so many people saw little women right maybe because we saw a parasite based on like everyone going perish I perish I perish it's a classic of a movie catching on just from word of word of love you make a really good movie that people will see it and general interests Ford versus Ferrari I saw the trailer I was like that's kind of interesting I guess I don't really like cars or the history of cars so I'm not gonna watch it yeah and the women I was like oh another adaptation and so you know maybe that's kind of it you know is is just like who saw what yeah and if you remember the Academy if I was I would make an effort to try and see everything so I could vote as accurately as possible but these are busy people and maybe they didn't see everything maybe everybody saw a parasite because I'm with Cinco see parasite that's way won best picture it's like it's not a nefarious like conspiracy yeah parasite the first foreign language but we never went best pitch well I'm pat yourself on the [ __ ] back Academy go Pat you're woke ass [ __ ] selves on the [ __ ] back I am sorry this is [ __ ] ludicrous it's it's just uh ridiculous to to see who would get angry over the Oscars and what one it doesn't affect your life in any way you could still go see the movie it's not like the art the Best Picture winner all the other movies are deleted not existing that's the problem I just don't know and and and I think it's great because you know there's that stigma I mean against averaged below average intelligence people of subtitles and movies with subtitles I watched the very first episode of a TV show called Llosa Spooky's have you ever heard of the heard of this I think it was a joyful first episode it has Fred Armisen in it it's all in Spanish it's about these you would really like it actually okay because it's about this the loss of Spooky's I think means the Spooky's it's this group of kissing Spooky's [Music] happy birthday Billy but it's all some time and you know you look away for a second you're eating your KitKat bar I took its KitKat bar and I dip it in hot water oh of course I hit that popcorn yeah yeah and then I drizzle caramel on that it's a whole process it's a whole process so if I'm doing that I look away from the TV and I miss five lines of dialogue so you really I like it in the foreign film setting where you say I'm gonna watch a foreign film now that's subtitle no not gonna eat my KitKat bar I have to pay attention see there's a little butter covered in popcorn covered in liquid caramel I can't do that when I watched a foreign film yeah I did like I saw it you know III gave up on Lewis Spooky's because I'm like I can't I can't just constantly read the screen I have to eat garbage food while I watch my programming and I've got to play with him cell phone this sounds exactly like why that that YouTube guy was so mad about parasite but if I say I'm gonna watch a foreign film I'm gonna watch a foreign film and I'm gonna read all those subtitles and parasite is definitely worth to watch because like I was started off by saying the poster weird poster is kind of creepy did you I went into the movie not even knowing what the plot was despite people saying like you gotta see parasite you guys here's like no does that anything about what it was about yeah I went in a completely blind which was the best way to see it I knew there was a a creepy element to it because of the poster but no idea yeah I think I may have heard something about classism or you know something like that and I kind of knew that but then watching it no idea where it was going and so takes a pretty drastic turn about hat almost exactly halfway through cuz it's two hours it's like right at the hour mark yeah do we have to give away spoilers if you've already seen it yeah you've wanted to see it and if you don't want to watch a subtitled movie then you're probably not going to be swayed by this review so well film shouldn't be nominated for Best Foreign Film and then also have the opportunity to win Best Picture because none of the other Best Picture nominations had a chance to be nominated for anything else [Music] this is America this is United State of America but the way yeah I mean like like it was that the the kind of met the the class messages of the movie or not particularly subtle but they're they're told visually the way it tells the story is so much more interesting and nuanced than something like Joker the framing of the window is sort of like the framing of a movie theater screen which I thought was interesting they go up the stairs to get their history boss yes yes yes and then the underground the sub-basement windows and stairs reoccurring imagery and it's it's great it's it's and totally like the first half is just really entertaining and fun them scamming this family it was it can't remember the last time I saw a movie era is just like completely engaged in the story yeah if the only it's been a while where it's like this feels like fresh and different and I'm curious where it's going yeah which is really why I don't want to talk about the story because it's a wonderful thing to watch unfold yourself yeah and and so like when would you know rise of Skywalker like the quote unquote story in that talked about that all day yeah because people don't watch that for the story they watch it for the spectacle and this is this is you know a little bit of both to be honest it's not it's not the most complicated story it's more about all the pieces that fit into it and how it unfolds yeah and and all the little twists and turns [Music] John Michell Uncle John this is I mean the fact of this won best picture is like an example of you know talking about people reading subtitles or whatever or it's like if you make a good movie if you make an engaging story it will reach people yeah and this is the case of that and I hope for now that like maybe people aren't familiar with bong Joon hos other movies we'll go back and see like the host or even snowpiercer which that's in English it was it was very nice to see his acceptance speeches because like we're talking before he was very gracious very loving of film and filmmaking and filmmakers you through it you know shout out to Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino and the other nominees you're here - I like your films - but you know he didn't talk about not putting cow's milk in your coffee to get times we feel or were made to feel that we champion different causes we're talking about the fight against the belief that when we steal her baby one nation one people one race one gender to artificially inseminate a cow Gotham moves so much gratitude right it's it's like everyone who went up there and it was just like this sort of injustice that sort of injustice bah bah bah and you know those things are important but the Oscars you know they're getting two hundred thousand dollar gift bags and they're all rich and they're all like lecturing you and two-faced yeah do do is do as I say not as I do kind of feeling you know whatever jaywalking Phoenix was rambling about what wasn't he rambling about I don't know and and like okay whatever but it's my point was was that the bong joon-ho gets up there and he's just like I love movies and and thank you this is an honor and and then the Hollywood people get up there and they're like yeah me and it's a movie from South Korea won the best picture award and beat out all the Hollywood people you know what I mean yeah well am the movie itself is saying something that you know is certainly political but he but the movie speaks for itself yeah you know really you should be chastised for the very very big lack of diversity in his movie parasite I love how they'll lecture everyone about you know women women they're great all women

Less of parasite review and more of a Oscars 2020 review and dunking on Mr Best Pitcher of Merica.

at 15:14 Jack is putting down the glass of whiskey in the lower right of the frame, then it cuts to Mike and we see Jay picking up his mug in that same spot. I just found that to be mildly interesting.

The clips of that guy who is butthurt about Parasite are hilarious. He's so pathetic.

[u/Paddy2015]

Dr Sleep is awesome

[u/Hope_Burns_Bright]

They bring up a fair point about the dichotomy between someone going up there and letting the movie speak for itself and someone going up there to talk about a social or environmental issue. That was interesting.

But Mike, as he often does, gets a little bit "Old Man Yells at Cloud" when he starts qualifying what kinds of things actors should talk about.

I didn't know the actor that played the kid in The Shining had never done another movie since and that he was back for a cameo in Doctor Sleep!

The video of that blithering idiot with his stupid hat frothing at the mouth over Parasite winning Best "Pitcher" gave me some next level douche chills.

I really liked Joker, but fuck me, seeing dipshit dullards like flat cap guy makes me feel guilty for enjoying it.

The mods are in a real pickle over this: Remove it because its RLM or keep it because it's about parasite?

Great to have doctor sleep more exposure
