That Tim Heidecker looks an awful lot like the owner of Lightning Fast VCR Repair. Strange how his employees didn't recognize him.

Jay just said Anya Taylor-Joy had her best role in The Queens Gambit. Did he forget what his favorite movie is?

I like these new 4x3 movies because I can record them to VHS without pan and scan, letterboxing or anamorphic compatibility issues.

it's about a janitor who imagines a life with a girlfriend who leaves him

half in the bag uh so jay what else did you see i'm thinking of ending things what we just started this vcr repair shop business 14 years ago how could you how am i ever going to find another person equally qualified to fix and or repair vcrs as good as you jay i better start going to monster.com to look for applicants vcr repair i guess i should write person and not be sexist person zero results hmm i guess i'll go to linkedin linked in vcr repair person zero results oh no mike i was talking about the motion picture i'm thinking of ending things oh right also i want to kill myself i've never experienced anything like it i'm thinking of ending things huh what did you say something i don't think so well i saw him thinking of ending things too we both saw this film it was a netflix film should have been on the big screen let's see that that four by three glorious glory it's just like seeing a christopher nolan film i like that four by three is come back for certain movies there's some films where it really works where it feels like claustrophobic and and appropriate a ghost story and this is a ghost story it was another one and this is one where i think it definitely benefits from from that look uh i liked this movie a lot i did too um it needs a second third and a fourth rewatch but i really liked it it's it's a little frustrating i think you would said at one point that charlie kaufman is a little too smart for his own good too smart for his audience yeah well for his own good i mean this is a movie that almost demands homework from you after you watch it you got to do some reading up because it's tons and tons of literary references and theater references and movie references that aren't making you aware that they're references you either know what they're talking about or you don't yeah and you either understand why they're talking about it or you don't it's it's a lot it's a lot to process um but just as like a surreal story about a man's relationship falling apart uh you know it works that way even though that's not really what it's about but while you're watching it uh the the tension of them being in the house with the parents like you understand the emotions of it even if you don't understand logistically what's happening yeah i mean it's the trailer of course is misleading because most people won't like this movie yes i'm sure i haven't looked it up but i'm sure it has a you know tons of zero stars it's one of those yeah zero stars or ten stars probably it was brilliant it's brilliant this is the worst thing i've ever seen because it has has that sheen of a semi-narrative going over it and it has a unreliable narrator issue yes um which you know throws you off balance because it's it's it's a movie about an old janitor um and it's so pathetic that when he fantasizes about his ideal life the girl in that fantasy still wants to leave him spoilers yes she it's you get inside her head you hear her thoughts yes and you're like okay here's our narrator here's our protagonist and she doesn't exist and um and so it's [ __ ] up and yet she has more character in humanity than he does yeah he's very misanthropic which is pretty typical for charlie kaufman yes he he's he's pathetic i can't remember what he looks like why would i it was just just one of thousands of such non-interactions in my life i don't know how do you talk about this movie without encapsulating the whole thing well i think explaining what it's about is doing quite a bit because i'm sure there's a lot of people that get to the end and they're just frustrated and angry yeah right right but that's where the the references come in because he's someone who's just filled his empty life with media with movies or books so there's one part in the car when he's getting into an argument with her they're talking about what's the movie it's john cassavetes movie but she just starts quoting the pauline kale review yeah well there's a polling kale book yeah you see that later so yeah but if you're watching this and she just starts going into this voice you're like what's like i said it requires homework right which can be frustrating uh but i i think enough at least for me enough of the movie worked even before kind of digging into the things that i didn't quite connect with i think it still works it's just a solid kind of moody creepy movie oh sure it's interesting to watch um but but you know your audience is going to want to grasp on to a narrative and and like and then when you get to the house and uh tony colette's there and she's crazy and tony klutz beca kind of reminded me of judy greer where it's like it seems like she's just in everything yeah and and then all these just weird like bizarre things start happening there's time skips yeah and uh i thought the whole movie was going to be in that house once i got there that was the impression i got that we're just going to kind of see the passing of time and all these like uh you know time glitches while they're in this house so then like halfway through they leave the house it's like oh now i have no idea where we're going it feels like a fever dream it's claustrophobic it's it's it's strange it's it's almost impenetrable almost impenetrable yes it's it's not accessible to a regular audience you have to really think and then watching it again and again probably would help out a lot and the problem with that is that it's such a depressing movie you're not going to want to re-watch it anytime soon right right but just to pick up on clues and and then it's a fun character study that that almost you don't see the character that it's about you see him in in a way that he's imagining everything it's just it's yeah it's good which girl there were several several or three severals anything more than two really look it up look it up can you stop saying that that guy that actor in this uh what is his name jesse plemons jesse plummons who's on breaking bad he i don't know if this is true but is it was his was he his backup for philip seymour hoffman who's dead oh because cause this is a philip seymour hoffman role yeah i mean philip seymour hoffman was in schenectady new york yeah and that's a charlie kaufman movie and and it's just i know philip seymour hoffman is dead so obviously he could not play this part but that jessie plymon's guy you know what he's kind of doing he ki he's kind of he's sumo hoffman probably would have been a little too old for the role unless you upped the age of the the girl but um it just kind of feels like that's the kind of guy he wants like you know it's like the woody allen stand-in and woody allen movies like oh yeah jesse fleming's kind of reminds me of like i want phillip seymour hoffman oh you still can't see that i want him someone who's like him kind of running mumbles but yeah good movie uh hard to recommend because it's gonna often be off-putting to a lot of people but again with your point of how how many milliseconds would this movie have died in a movie theater the the they would have hit play on the movie and the theater would have collapsed the poltergeist house that theater no longer exists we played the new charlie coffman so i talked about uncle frank from uh written and directed by alan ball who's done other stuff and this sort of feels like a little watered down version of his usual material i watched on the rocks did you watch on the rocks i did not bill murray and uh ann perkins yeah jones i was mildly curious about it for about five seconds and then i forgot completely about it oh my gosh do you look beautiful you live how's your mom's hip good thanks good he thinks you're my girlfriend grace um but yeah on the rocks bill murray directed by sofia and then uh of course bill murray was in lost in translation sophia coppola's big breakout hit the only movie of hers that i like yes which is why i was curious about this one because of bill murray and then you want to talk about watering down on the rocks it happened it is it is uh it is white toast uh so the premise of the movie is uh rashida jones is married to marlon wayans but he's off doing some kind of like tech work he's a computer uh the silicon valley guy and they're doing a startup and you know kind of thing and he's always flying around on business trips and there's this lady that is always around him and he's like oh it's you know it's what's her face she's yeah we're buddies you know and then they find out like oh she found some of her [ __ ] in his in his luggage so she starts to suspect an affair and um she uh you know she's getting kind of clues about that and so then bill murray shows up who's her father and he's an old-time old-time playboy womanizer kind of character who divorced the mother and he kind of says like sleazy advice he's hitting on waitresses he then um kind of weasels his way into her life and says i'm gonna help you find out if this guy's cheating she shows up in his little sports car and they go driving around they follow him and um i thought that it was going to be like them bonding that's what i assumed it was like a yeah father-daughter reconnecting a little bit and then uh she kind of finds out that he wasn't cheating and then it ends oh the guy she thought her husband was gonna be the sleazy guy but it turns out he's completely faithful and sort of like a changing of the guard the old ways of the old old crusty white guys who sleep around dad was a womanizer so maybe my husband's a womanizer but yeah my husband's not a womanizer so there's no drama or attention yes sounds great i think rich said this talking about the last jedi where he's like i like i like twists and movies that make the story less interesting it's weird that bill murray would be playing that like he used to be like a womanizer because there was this character in broken flowers mm-hmm much better film but that's and there's kind of that part of the humor is the contrast of he's pathetic sad looking bill murray but everyone talks about him like he used to be this playboy and there's that incongruity which is where the humor comes from but in this it sounds like it's just he just straight up was a womanizer and well it's weird for bill murray it's not like overt like he's not like a sleazy womanizer okay he's he's very rich like he has a driver and he has sports cars and i don't know if it says like and there's no like remorse or regret he's just is who he is and then he's just wrong about suspecting the husband being being a cheater i mean that's that's kind of all her things they're no real drama just kind of loosey-goosey flailing around not much happens it works in lost in translation because those characters are so strong and their their kind of connection is strong but that's why i don't like any of our other movies because it's just like a whole lot of nothing and not a lot to latch on to what other sofia coppola movies have i seen i don't know which ones you've seen she's a diversion suicide she do 28 days later she did 28 weeks later yeah yeah she did 300 and batman for superman resident evil she did resident evil resident evil apocalypse not apocalypse she did a resident evil afterlife okay okay [Music] thank you i'm gonna take that as a compliment are there two speaking of things that happened in her bland i saw the new mutants it happens but this it's hard to believe this was meant to be a theatrical film because it really feels like the first episode of a tv show because nothing happens and you're like oh we're just setting up all of our characters for future episodes but it's just a movie and they realize nothing happens because then you get to the end and they just fight a giant monster we've had them sit around this this this mental hospital or whatever it's supposed to be this research hospital for the entire movie doing nothing i guess they fight a monster at the end welcome to comic book movies i suppose no this is like bottom of the barrel as far as story goes like for a comic book movie i know you have to have something big happen at the end of your comic book movie but you usually have good character stuff throughout leading up to it yeah well it takes place in this hospital they're the only like patients in the hospital it's like whatever five of them six of them and there's one employee she's the only one in the hospital there's nobody in this [ __ ] movie it's so weird i know they set up in the trailer that on anna taylor joy she's like i killed 19 men yeah does she turn out to be like a bad guy no she just does a bad russian accent there's so many bad accents in this movie too i think she's a really good actress i think she's really interested i'll talk about her in the queen's gambit in a minute but bad accent in this movie the stranger things kid is doing like a southern accent sounds laughable everybody it's like career worst performances from all these people and they're just kind of sitting around i'm surprised it wasn't directed by sophia coppola because nothing happens oh did you just make an x-men live-action tv show sure like just [ __ ] it scrap everything and start from the beginning because you said it looks like a tv show tv shows look as good as movies now yeah like [ __ ] it tv shows look better than this movie who owns x-men paramount or 20th century no no it's it's fox which is disney but yeah i mean especially if the theater format is sort of going away well yeah i mean a movie like this doesn't help like this movie wasn't going to bring people back to the theaters a bunch of [ __ ] boring kids sitting around in a room for 90 minutes and then they fight a bear wow great film [Music] [Applause] a quick shout out to a very very very short little tv series i watched uh which was on show time i think i said showtime was all trash you did it's not all trash uh it's the recorded record of you saying it uh oh god the worst i think is show time the worst i think is show time oh yeah there is it's called moon base eight i just got a lot on the line here i mean i screwed up my whole life that's why i need to get to the moon i go up to the moon i'm a hero tim heidecker fred armisen and john c reilly and they're schlubs who uh live in a moon base not on the moon in the desert in arizona it's a testing site for them eventually to go to the moon sandy realized i think i saw the trailer i didn't realize they were just on earth yeah that makes the whole thing much funnier it is um because it's just like all the things they encounter are things that would just never happen on the moon i mean there's a cattle drive that has to come by ranchers tell them to like um they got to move their base because their cattle drive's coming through so they figure out a way to use like little nasa rockets to like distract the cows from hitting their moon base and then there's like a like like a homeless junker who keeps stealing their stuff the problems they would incur would not happen on the moon it makes no sense okay makes no sense but it's fun that's great and they're mostly ad-libbing i think launch sequence beginning in nine eight nine seven eight six five standby let's sync up four aboard it's just very loose and you know fred armisen as being fred armisen saying weird things and john c reilly is like he's like pathetic he's like um he's uh oh god he he ran a helicopter tourism company in uh hawaii and he went bankrupt so this is like his way of like like showing his family that he could do something go on the moon and uh tim hineker is like a religious christian and he like skypes with his family and he has like 19 kids and his wife is like like sleeping with the pastor of their church clearly and then fred armisen is uh he's living in the shadow of his successful father who was like a nasa scientist who worked on the apollo missions he's also smart he's a doctor um but he's he's just doing this like he's he's working below his his intelligence level and so the three of them live and they have these little bunks that are like right next to each other like these like like like closet doors it's there's just like crappy sets um it's not like it's it's just so like loose and fun and it's not like overly like scripted joke here joke here joke here it's just sort of like just seems like they're having fun does it have a an ending is it does it feel like a limited series or does it feel like the first season of a series it feels like it ends on i wouldn't call it a cliffhanger but um every every time they they get a communication from nasa it's like um oh it has those computer sound effects that we use like oh so it comes on a computer screen and it's like the siri voice today your assignment will be so it's questionable whether or not they're actually working for nasa or not at the end they show them like uh there's somebody watching them through like screens and then it cuts away okay so they may not actually be working for nasa so there's a lead-in too it could be more all right yeah it's fun goofy nonsense yeah but it's not too goofy it's like right on that borderline of i mean it crosses over the line but it's like is should i are they taking it seriously should i take this at all seriously it's not like like crazy uh it's grounded sort of speaking of shorts series you said your show is only six or eight episodes or whatever i watched the queen's gambit which did not seem like the kind of thing i would be interested at all but people kept recommending it to me i don't give a [ __ ] about chess uh but it's very very good tell the readers of life how it feels and to be a girl among all those men i don't mind it chess isn't always competitive do you even know how to play chess i absolutely do not and watching this entire series i didn't figure it out it's not really about chess it's like a sports movie it's like rocky isn't really about boxing it's about rocky and this is like that too it's based on a book it was apparently supposed to be adapted in like the early 2000s directed by heath ledger but then he passed away and so that obviously didn't kind of fell apart but uh i think it works better as a limited run series than it would have as a two hour movie because it really gives you time to see your main character's backstory see how she grew up see how she became the person she became why she has substance abuse problems which is what she's trying to overcome but there weren't any like female chess players back then it was just like no um and so when i watched the trailer i was like because it wasn't really a trailer it was like that a scene you know netflix pre-loads a little thing yeah and it was her like signing up you know are you sure you want to do this i'm sure we don't have a women's section i'll put you in beginners i'm not a beginner and so i was like oh this is cool is this really happened is did some some girl like weasel her way into the high ranks of the chess world in the 1960s and become famous and uh no and so like because i like historical stuff i like true stories and i was like oh some sort of fictionalized no no it's it's a scary story but it's it's well done it's it's got lots of really like like swooping shots like there's lots of because you're kind of like she's an orphan her mother died when she was really little so she grew up in this orphanage and so a lot of it is kind of told through her eyes of like discovering the world for the first time and so you get like she goes to vegas and it's like like cool retro 1960s vegas and we get these sweeping shots of the uh the hotel and she goes into it we go up to the second floor oh maybe i'll check it out i i think it's worth it i run out of terrible shows to watch it's you know it goes by pretty quick it's like eight episodes and it has that that energy of a sports movie but it's about uh chess well you got to keep that camera moving you got to keep things exciting when you're dealing with chess it's true it's true because people are just sitting there and her performance too she's you know so many like younger actors they all kind of blend together but there's something about her that really she's really distinct she really stands out and she's this is probably her best [Music] performance let's talk about our feature event this is the grand finale everybody grand finale of all the garbage forget about the trash the only [ __ ] movies i was actually uh excited to see possessor oh meow there were things i liked about possessor but overall i did not like it oh i found it uh amateurish in nature really and how old is brandon cronenberg i don't know this is a second movie he did a movie before this called anti-viral is he like 20 or something i mean he's older than that i don't know i don't know anything about him i'm not a big david cronenberg fan i know you like this weird stuff i'm a big david cronenberg fan yes i i like weird stuff too this this is this is hard to explain because it's writing the line between uh telling a narrative and bizarre [ __ ] up mind stuff they reminded me of of uh the exorcist part two oh my god that's so cool um in what way that weird hospital where they're doing like mental science fiction experiments on the possessed girl yeah i think it was the retro look of stuff too there's stylistically this is a neat movie um production production design wise the the retro cars randomly um the the 1970s like pro props the the mask and the the actual flipping of the switches and it felt it it's a weird combination of future and because he the characters jobs they're like data mining but it's not like a computer program he's like physically looking into people's houses yeah and like pointing out their drapes and stuff it's really weird it's like they need people to do that yeah they probably don't it had that kind of like i don't know uh thx or brazil or this kind of weird creepy soulless like company that you're working for where you're just a cog in the machine um and then you know outside of that he lives in this really nice apartment with his girlfriend who's the daughter of the guy and then our main character um i don't know why i thought it was tilda swinton you don't see her too much okay so it has a premise that feels kind of like a christopher nolan movie right you know i've watched it twice and the second time i watched it i was thinking of that it's like like a perverted version of uh that high concept christopher nolan high concept like heist murder kind of spy thing well and definitely uh inception the way you got to get like plugged in matrix inception like mind bending you're gonna i love the concept i love the concept and i love the production design i thought it was a neat concept that what didn't you because i liked all those things too so i'm curious what you didn't like i i didn't like i would have liked it if they had no plot because okay so the opening scene is uh a a girl is sticking a thing in her head and then she stabs a guy they set it up right perfectly and the girl he stabs the guy and then uh not tilted sweat swinton gets pulled out of it and you're like oh okay she was in her mind she she was positive yes and it's this whole like like creepy evil company that that hires people um the lady we'll just call her tilda swinton she is very good at her job which is she has a like a well-trained mind where she can manage this i guess it's very stressful on the brain when you come out of it you're disoriented and sick they do all these tests to make sure your your mind is back in order right um and it can be a really traumatic and tough experience to possess another person which makes sense and all that kind of science stuff in the beginning was great and it's basically like an assassin they do it for that reason yeah i could think of many other reasons to do it um other than just murder for higher premises it would be neat to possess like a [ __ ] politician and go up to a podium and just say all sorts of crazy stuff and throw off an election yeah you know or i mean that might exist in this world maybe it does that's kind of what i like is the idea that you know there's a larger world but we're just seeing this very specific story in it yeah and the the that's where the kind of the juvenile element comes from is that it all just becomes stabbing and blood and killing uh and then we're gonna give spoilers here so spoilers spoilers uh the first job nice and easy the the big fat guy at this event is a lawyer they say so clearly the uh he's doing a big case and somebody else hired to kill the lawyer who knows but then the second job is she has to possess a man uh who's who's dating the daughter of essentially mark zuckerberg right or uh bezos jeff bezos some some big tech guy who owns this company that's essentially facebook or google or whatever right so it's the it's the brother uh who wants the the father dead and the daughter dead so that he can inherit the company and become wealthy and maintain control and so he hires this company the possessor company to make it look like the boyfriend of the girl went crazy murder suicide boom nice and easy yeah so that's the job and i was like oh there's going to be some kind of twist because it's like a tech company right and they're data mining so maybe at some point the sean bean the guy knows that the guy is possessed and then he does this and all these things but it just kind of just becomes this like like uh pointless bloodbath and then on top of that i don't associate at all with our tilda swinton well you're not supposed to that's the story the story isn't the assassination attempt the story is the the the toll this job has taken on her and how at a certain point the the guy realizes what's happening and he pulls the thing out of his brain and they start to like they're they're they cross the streams where they're going back and forth yeah who is who what is what and you realize that this whole time like she hasn't become desensitized to violence she's become so obsessed with the violence that she becomes desensitized to everything else including her own family i mean that's the movie you see like she has sex with her estranged husband early on and all she can think about is stabbing that guy in the neck so by the time you get to the end when the guy sort of re claimed his body right and he's threatening her husband it starts to become a thing of like how much does she want him to kill the husband too because she doesn't give a [ __ ] about these people anymore well then what it's about losing your sense of self i mean that's what the movie is more so than the assassination yeah i bet and i know the assassination isn't the plot yeah um and i know but but her character we have such little little to do with her in the beginning before she jumps in and you know it's like oh is it is it just about money is it about her raking in just tons of money because they have her shares in the company for this big job and there's never like i mean this is this is like base level stuff well plotting right wise where if this was just a christopher nolan movie it would be oh oh honey we can't pay the bills this month are we're going to houses in foreclosure uh little johnny can't go to the school anymore he's got to move from the private school to this terrible public school where he's going to get beat up again right i lost my job and money problems you remember uh five years ago when you used to do that thing where you put on the mask and you possessed people this is baseline i i i need to reiterate that okay um i don't want to do that again because when i do it i go crazy and i lose all sense of myself and i've just spent the last five years in therapy getting over my blood lust right i mean what you're describing is probably the backstory but i didn't get that we're seeing after that i just i think she's despicable from the moment i see her because she's killing i mean maybe they could have done more than i think there's enough where like when she goes over to her her estranged husband's house she's outside and she's like rehearsing what to say yeah to sound like a normal person i don't know i don't my darling hi darling the little things like that i think there's just enough i don't like her either i don't think that's the point yeah you're not necessarily supposed to be on her side yeah i'm just observing her story yeah you could take it another route too where you the only time we see the guy pre uh possession is is when she's spying on them with like audio listening that is something i think we needed to see more of him earlier yeah i mean we're not supposed to be sympathetic towards him empathetic you do once once he realizes what's going on once he tries to like take control but it feels like when you get to that point you should have had more with him up front you certainly connect with him a bit more even if you never met the person if the story is someone has possessed this person and made him murder his fiancee and and his father-in-law in the bloodbath of course you're gonna feel sorry for them it's not their fault right and i don't want movies that are just boilerplate you know this is your hero you know like they work for certain things but you know i don't mind a creepy weird [ __ ] up movie i just need to know some more information and it just seemed like he was reveling in the the joy of just blood and guts and murder well that that's yeah that's one thing i did i like the movie a lot um did you watch the uncut version do you know you didn't okay so you actually saw the less violent version because that would be one of my complaints about it is it feels like and you want to show when it's a movie about how this character is is kind of become uh accustomed to violence or it doesn't affect her anymore you know you want to show that violence pretty matter effectively but there are moments where and this is weird coming from me but it's like too violent uh there's a part i think it's sean bean she like there's like an extreme close-up and this is only in the uncut version where she like scoops out his eyeball and it's like it's like extreme close-up it's like a luchio fulchi like schlock horror film where it goes past you want to see it matter effectively and i think they do that really well for a lot of it but then when you cut to these extreme close-ups it just feels like gratuitous and it like cheapens it or it's like look at this look at this gore it's not showing it just as like a violent act anymore it's like reveling in it in a way that is counterintuitive to what the movie's trying to do yeah so there's moments like that that the the extreme gore and the uncut version and i never want to say like watch the cut version like you should watch the version the filmmakers intended i think but i i think the cut version worked a little bit better because it cut back on some of that stuff a bit yeah the only thing i remember seeing that made me laugh was he hits the michael the husband and hits him with the meat cleaver and it's like fingers fly on oh yeah rubber hand and um you know but that's another one where then it cuts to an extreme close-up of the fingers and they're still moving slightly it's like show it blunt matter of fact i was thinking a taxi driver a bit like the end of that movie where he's just shooting like the guy because that happens at the beginning of this movie the girl gets shot in the cheek and like blood squats which something really similar to that happens in taxi driver but taxi driver is a movie that just shows shows the gore as it would happen right it doesn't like celebrate it and it doesn't like cut to extreme close-ups right so that's more emphasize for jason yeah it's like cheap horror movie stuff which has its place but it felt out of place in this movie ready i just never i would have loved more inner conflict with with her character i just i just i just searched for that like can we have can she have a moment of like hesitation and i think too he was like a loser um and and he had like a low he he was dating out of his league right this girl is wealthy her father's wealthy and he clearly doesn't have any skills he's he's hired by the father as like a like a um like a charity job right and doing low-level work and so clearly he feels like he doesn't have any control she has all the control um and so those two kind of character philosophies could butt at some point where he tries to break free and then she could be a character who's yeah spiraling downward like let me go in again i can do another job that's all these things are explaining they're there they're just it feels like it starts 30 minutes into the movie where i needed more backstory between her even if it's even if it's hollywood backstory crap like i said oh i can't pay the bills what are we going to do become a possessor again i can't go back in michael i can't i for me i like the fact that this is just sort of a smaller glimpse at a larger kind of worlds and all the backstory stuff you're talking about you wish was in there to me i can it it's it's implied enough where i i think you get enough in the movie to to work with i think that's i think that's what what really gets me with it is that i wanted more from it it it was capable of much more uh it had so many great um uh ideas and starting points and and potential uh that that whole the whole concept of of the the technology involved and the process yeah on the visuals of like when they show the the kind of splintering mine stuff oh yeah i've seen that stuff we're seeing it kind of literally where you see it like bounce back and forth between her and him yeah the melting faces the double the doubling of the vocal yeah voices his voice on hers at the same time like like creepy stuff like that worked and like when they when they kidnap the guy they have to kidnap him physically in order to put the thing in knock him out and so he doesn't remember anything like you don't see them kidnapping him it's just like he's in a van and yeah you know what happened and and they did it they're just so good at their job you got them yep we got them we've done this a million times yes we're really good at this but uh i just i i wanted it it had the bedrock of having a great great uh character um conflicts if he had if he had broken out of the possessor taken control of the situation that's what he does but but he just dies like i mean i mean unraveled the whole conspiracy about it okay opened up the world of the movie a little more opened up the world of the movie a little more prove he's not a murderer um i know that's a whole other movie in itself by that time it's too late to do all that but i found myself thinking the movie was lacking but chick fight now that's a movie [Music] hey why is there a gun on the table [Music] you
