Go Yes Mac. On the way to the theater this week as we went and saw the fall Guy screening, I thought to myself, you know, I was a bit of an adventure junkie back in the day. I did a little skateboarding, a little rollerblade in will be Am X in a little bit of everything. I can't say it was great at any of it, but I tried it all. I thought to myself, Man, is there any like conceivable way I could do a stunt for a movie? Like? Is there a stunt that they do on a consistent basis that I could do
believably on screen? And I don't know if there is. It would have to be I think I would be okay with falling, but anything athletic I obviously wouldn't be able to do. I would be able to do just some fucking park horse shit. But that was the first thing I said to you, What type of stunt would you be able to do? Maybe? So I think that I could do something jackass related, like something that's kind of clumsy. I could kind of hurt myself, But if it involves driving a
car, if it involves doing something very cord I might. People don't think I could do that. That's a good point. I might be able to roll a car. I have the utmost faith of myself behind the wheel. I think I'm a pretty good wheelman. I think I might be able to roll a car and be all right, not panic. Do you think you could do the whole getting set on fire? I was just gonna say, speaking from my college days, or at least my visiting college days, I
have been set on fire in the past. I have been tased in the past. I feel like something like that would be right up my alley. Yeah, it's an interesting thing to think about because people have different phobias, and also like, even if I want to try certain things, I just basely I wouldn't have the athleticism to do certain things. So's it's an interesting thing to think about, that's for sure. I would say that there is one stunt in this movie that our hero keeps on doing where he is lit
on fire and then pulled with the harness back into a rock. Sign me up for that, I would like. Maybe it's because what I it's what I do in the real world. I don't think being on fire is something I'd like. It's not, so that's something I want to sign up for one good three Yeah, job three, King of Queen Mill Street Entertainment. I'm Goo and I'm Man and we are the Mac and Goo program. We bring you friendship, Yes, yes we do. And I'll tell you there's
a very very fun friendship in this movie that we're talking about today. And that's what this movie is in general today, is it's fun. It's fun fun the movie. Yeah, let's turn our brains off and just have some fun. Let's not think too hard, but let's just have some fun. Now. I am perfectly good with what we got on screen, Yes, but I must ask off the rip here and we can talk about this in a few minutes, expound upon it in a few minutes. Your level of
excitement for this movie was much higher, Yes, it one was. So are you coming away disappointed at all with what we got? I think it hit right where I wanted. Okay, all right, that's good to hear. That's good to hear. I wasn't sure because to me it looked like your perfect action comedy popcorn movie. And I feel like that's what I think. It is, the perfect turn your brain off, lowest common denominator summer
blockbuster that can appeal to the widest masses possible. That's what we got, and I think that is exactly what you want to do every once in a while with the PG thirteen movie is just make it as simple as possible, even though this one maybe too many twists. So I guess maybe your excitement level was you needed this more than I do. You were yearning for this movie, this movie. It's my money and I needed no which, by the way, I know you haven't finished the latest season of kurb but they
worked the JG wentworth oh eight seven to seven cash now into it? Okay, now I'll watch it. Now, I'll watch it, folks. Today we are discussing The Fall Guy. The Fall Guy is a PG thirteen action comedy and drama with a run time of one hundred and twenty six minutes, and I think it could have been twenty minutes less, or they could have found something else to do for those twenty minutes. That might be true as well. It's it feels a little long. There is a bit of a
pacing issue. Middle of the second act. There was two times I actually felt like the movie kind of came to a screeching halt. So there's definitely, definitely a pacing issueh go on, Roddy, T's right now. We don't have an audience score where we're recording before the audience score is released. The critics score is eighty six percent, which feels about right. On a Metacritic a seventy six, which honestly feels a little high. May I guess
the audience score? Yeah? Please do So, I'm gonna put the over under at eight and a half and I'm gonna take the over all right, So you're expecting it to be in the nineties. Yes, that feels right around. It's a good over under. It feels like it would be like a ninety ninety one, ninety two, maybe an eighty eight. You're right in the range there, So that's a good over under there. I'm gonna sit on the fence and not you. I'm gonna push. I'm going to
push Gude. This movie is written by Drew Pierce. We would know him from Iron Man three, Mission Impossible, Rogue Nation, and Hobbs and Shaw. So that's an interesting three most popular moviesque I would say the writing was actually, the writing was a little bit of an issue in this movie. There there's some really meta dialogue. And then there's some really odd dialogue. I had a little bit of an issue with the right. And then I
think the plot is just the overarching story. It's a little much at points. And then also, what reality are we in? Yeah, that's that. That's a good question to ask too, because seemingly we're kind of based in reality. But then, no, we're not stunt men are superheroes. But let me also say this right now, I know that we're you know, we're poking and we're prodding at this. I had a very good time. Oh I had a blast. I have a great time. I highly
recommend this movie. I really enjoy we're just talking about here. Now, you know what prevents this movie from being like an all timer or something. We're gonna run out and tell people to go see is the stuff for I'm only gonna walk out and tell people to see it. I'm not running, I'm not sprinting. Just a wisper. Hey you should see that. Hey they're like, oh the nineteen eighties TV show. Yes, yeah, sure, kind of like that, which I had never heard of the TV show
until like three months ago. But now you have good This movie is directed by David Leach, who is known for Atomic Blonde. He also first and foremost he was like an uncredited director stunt director on the John Wick movies first two, I think, and then he did Atomic Blonde, Deadpool two, Hobbs and Shaw, and Bullet Train. You and I both agree Bullet Train one of the more underrated movies from twenty twenty two. Yeah, and if i'm you know, put a gun to my head right now, I'm gonna
take this over Bullet Train. But it's similar in there's a lot of stuff that I like, close to love, and then there's some stuff that I'm like, we could have done without this. I might lean Bullet Train over this. It's close, Okay, it's close. Bullet Train was a little more exciting, if that, If that makes sense, a little more of a drama going on in Bullet Train. Bullet Train for most of the movie, I might lean this actually felt more like real life question Mark, Like,
it felt like there were more stakes in it. Better pacing number one because it was on a train and the train was going fast, but also the plot dictated it. Uh it was the train. No no, no, no, stick with what you just said. Because of the train, it was better paced. Uh yeah, it's it's so those five movies Atomic Blonde, Deadpool, two, Hobbs, and Bullet Training. Now this I would have this probably. I haven't seen Hobbs and Shaw. Admittedly I'm never
gonna see Hobson Shaw. I would probably have this second or third better than Atomic Blonde, but not as good as Deadpool too. I think I'm right there with you Deadpool to this Bullet Train, Atomic Blonde, Yep, all right, so agree to agree. Also, he is a former stunt man, yeah, which is cool. And obviously this whole thing is sort of you know, we saw it a little bit at the Oscars this year that I'm talking about stunts and stunt men and women trying to get their due,
maybe get an award eventually. But this is sort of playing out and I think beats a dead horse a little bit in this movie a couple times with the stuntman stuff. Well, it does get into him, like I said earlier, because it's a little cartoonish. The stunt people are all able to do these crazy acrobatics and fight crime and kind of defy gravity and the laws of nature. M it's a again, what type of world are we playing?
In. Yeah, it's a good point made at the top. KU if you are a David Leech fan, what he's got upcoming is a TV mini series called Hot Air, which is a US based on Richard Branson, the billionaire, and he's going to be played by Andrew Garfield. So I'm pretty intrigued by that. Did you know that? And I did not fact check this, but I heard Andy Hart talk about this on Weei okay, that if a hot air balloon lands in your yard, you have to offer
them wine and bread. Yeah, that's surely not true. Well we'll never know. I'll tell you what. Speaking of stunts at the beginning, one of the least things I'd like to do in my whole life stunt or stunt not related, is riding a hot air balloon. I wouldn't enjoy that at all. I guess you'd have like no control over where the balloon is going. And I've heard of missile lines, yeah, power lines. I would rather jump out of an airplane than ride in a hot air balloon. Do
you have a parachute? Yeah, and the you don't have one in the hot air balloon And it's just this big fucking wicker basket. That someone probably fucking well, how do you make wicker? You know, it's a bunch of leftover picnic baskets. Yeah, so much fucking grandma's furniture got turned into the basket that I'm now three thousand feet in the air with that no thank you on the hot air beloon. I currently live in a house that my grandparents used to live in, and it one point of the attic there is
just so much wicker, and I'm like, why, what? Why was wicker so used? I think every household in the eighties and nineties had one of those big circular Wicker chairs where the circle moved. It sat in the pod, the circle moved, and then there was a pad on top of the circle. And those were tremendously uncomfortable. I don't know when wicker came from, Where wicker came from. I don't know why wicker. I know nothing about. As a podcast, let's put our foot down, we're gonna
stamp this. Wicker sucks, yeah, Wicker, yeah. Goose Office of a fall Guy. The fall the fall guy, not a fall guy. This is the confused by the first word coming up here. A down and out stunt man must find the missing star of his ex girlfriend's blockbuster film. Yeah, that kind of undersells it. Kind of undersells it, but good enough. That's pretty much it. Though. This movie stars Ryan Gosling as cult professed sievers h he's so cool formerly dangerous or danger was his middle name.
Let me ask you this question, and this hit me midway through the podcast, not through the podcast, through the movie, and I did no research after. Maybe you can help me out how attractive are normal stunt people? It's a good question. I was thinking about it. Baseline, you gotta be probably pretty physically fit, so that like a baseline that probably somewhat attractive. But you would have to think your face takes a beating too.
You know, you probably have some scars and and shit like that. So then it brings you back down a little bit because know one in this movie looks at Ryan Gosling and says, wait a second, why is it your face on the camera? Are you handsome son of a bitch? Because then we also get into like, he is a fucking cool character in this movie. Yes, yeah, he is a cool cat. And then you think back to another one of our favorite characters, another cool cat, Brad Pitt
in Once upon a Time in Hollywood, also a stunt man. Let's get to that conversation in one minute. Let me run through the rest of the stars, because I think it's a it's a pretty good point to make about bring up off Facebook of stunt men's profiles. Please. Emily Blunt, the co star hair, plays Jody Moreno, the ex girlfriend in questions. Very good. Yeah. Aaron Taylor Johnson is Tom Ryder. If you had the name a plemonade type of person in this movie, he might be it.
He was maybe very, he was very He felt like he was from Tropic Thunder. I agree, I agree, But he did the best out of those characters. Okay. I felt like, uh, Hannah Wattingham, we know her from Ted Lasso. She's the tall brit more like Hannah Weggingham because he's got a big old wig on. I think she plays Gail Meyer, who was pretty funny for most of her screen time. Teresa Palmer is Iggy Starr, who's not in this all that much. She plays Aaron Taylor Johnson's
girlfriend. Stephanie's shoe pops up for a few minutes here as Alma Milan and Winston Duke in Here is Dan Tucker. Oh, I want to add another segment to our I don't know what it becomes with ten a deca gone, a deca gone now. Okay, So what I would like to to add to everything else? Now we're gonna do if the shoe fits? Okay, please explain. Well, whenever she pops up, you're like, she fits right in, all right, So it's just a Stephanie's shoe based thing.
No one who steals the show, they just slide right in, do their job and get off screen. Listen. I discovered her and everything ever all once I fell in love with her on that what's that one that you liked a little more than me? To all the boys I've kissed, No no, no, no one with the four Friends came out last year comedy I like no hard feelings more. You like this one? It's the show Friends minus two. That's what it's called, all right, Friends minus too.
She was great in that. We see her, we see her bare back button balls in that. So I was a big friend that. I think that's a stunt double. It might be it might be a oh that's what you could do for a stunt double. You could be somebody go right, We figured it out. I said this to you. This was my first thought after the movie was over. I said, if Brad Pitt didn't exist,
I think Ryan Gosling would be the coolest guy on the planet. I think you can still make an argument for Ryan Gosling, but Brad Pitt is definitely the coolest guy in the play. I think that if you don't have Ryan Gosling in this movie, I don't think anyone else could pull this off because there is a certainary point here. There is a certain like not only look, it's the attitude, it's in this line delivery, Like there's a
bunch of handsome actors in Hollywood, but Jannisi quah with this guy. I think maybe Taron Edgerton might be able to do it, maybe because you need to so you need to have the quick one liners, but they can't come off as phony, so like Ryan Reynolds really couldn't do this. Yeah, and you also can't be like big, over the top large like yeah Rockies. You have to be like pretty standard body size cause he's also and much like in The Nice Guys, he does such a great job of going from
quiet to loud. Yeah, and it isn't something that is like consistent. It's just like out of nowhere boom. You know what's a really underrated quality, especially in actors that are in a lot of action movies, being able to be beat up believably. He does it great in the other guys. He does it great here like being able to take take your lumps or a bump as they call it in the wrestling world, and making it believable goes a long way, like really sells an action scene. And the goss is
really good at it. Like I said, Emily Blunt was good Alan, Aaron Taylor Johnson was phenomenal in his more limited role. I'm still holding out hope on Craven just because of Aaron Taylor Johnson. But fuck that thing is Oh you mentioned Winston Duke. I keep in my head referring to him as either Zach Duke or Clark Duke, and that's not his name. Zach Duke, former lefty of the Pirates, Diamondbacks and maybe five other Major league teams.
Clark Duke is PLoP PLoP Clark Duke. His his light burned real bright. Everyone thought that he was the next guy, and then I wouldn't mind a Clark Duke as sons Hot Top time Machine is very underrated. Yeah, he's great enough. He is like when he was on the screen in super Bad, you were just drawn to him. Goude. This is a comedy action drama, but also it's a bit of a rom com as well. Gives you enough to sort of establish it as a rom com. And actually
the love story in here is pretty decent. It's it's developed just enough before we get into our decagone. I will say this, and my wife still has no idea how to rate movies. She gave this a twelve out of ten. She loved it. Yeah, for the comedy and love story. I'm assuming comedy love story. It look like we said earlier, there are things that you can definitely poke at, but it's a complete movie. Yeah, yeah, it's it's to me a little spoiler alert. We'll get the
hot dogs in a few. To me, it's like clearly the second best movie of the year that I've seen. Now I've only seen four, I've only seen two movies. But it's not and it's not even remotely in the same stratosphere as Doode too, but it's head and shoulders above pretty much everything else. I've watched, so it's it's it's a it's a pretty fun movie. And like I said, the only real drawbacks I have from this movie is that there's a couple of lulls and then right around the middle of the
movie you're pretty much exactly sure how it's gonna play it. And then also, how many times in a movie can and they wink and gnawed at us enough that we're like, I guess we'll excuse this, yeah, right right, a couple fourth ones just because you call out something for being overly complicated, which I feel like every movie does. Now I don't know if we
can excuse it anymore. The whole scene with the split screen was a real wild ride for me because I was like, I kind of like it, and then I kind of did it, and then it kind of brought me back. It was and that scene went on for too long as well, Yes, which happens a couple of times in Yere. But this movie's enjoyable
if it's it's worth the price of admission, all right. Before we get to the deca gone here, carnitas, white rice, refried beans, piko de Gayo, and the hottest sauce they had Yeah, we ate another fucking burrito. I did. I was gonna eat it. I was gonna eat it ahead of time. But the line at al Hefes was ridiculous. There was a guy in front of me that when he was ordering his burrito, you know what he said to the guy behind the counter, what meat do
you recommend? God? What are you gonna go in there? You can't be asking the assembly line people to make recommendations. You gotta go in there. If you go in there, you look at the meat. You look at which one is the best. Like, never go in there being like I'm definitely getting chicken. No, look at the chicken first. If it does not look up to par pick something else. I love pork, I love carnitas. But what I always do I look at it. If it's too wet, I don't want it. It's a good game plan, the
whole thing. Whether I agree with your game plan or not. Go in there with a game plan. Don't go in there with a bevy of questions. Yeah, Also, how do you feel about people ordering more than one meal at once? Like ordering four other people? I'm okay with that, but don't keep stepping back. Do it? Do it all at once, don't like go over here and then come back like a fucking typewriter. Agree, But that also you gotta have a good employer on the behind the counter
to make it work though, too, it's a given thing. Mm hmm. All right, let's get into the now. Deca gone and we're just gonna keep on adding fucking legs out of this octopus. We're going to fun factor first, and this, look, this is fun. That's the biggest compliment. That's my one word that you can put on the DVD. Fun. Yeah, this is fun factor of the movie. Like I said at the top, fun the movie. This movie sets out to make the audience
laugh and enjoy themselves, and it does exactly that. Satisfactor. I do believe this movie takes way too long to get there, but I was satisfied. Yeah, I think at this point in my life, seeing Ryan Gosling have fun on screen chopping it up is baseline satisfactory to me. So pretty decent satisfactor. And I'll also say this, like we mentioned, and this is kind of a spoiler when you mentioned that there are twists. There's a
lot of twists here. But I think a compliment that you can pay this movie is that even with all the twists, you didn't lose my attention much like I mentioned earlier with Argyle once they had those twists at the end of the second act, I'm like, this thing kind of sucks and I don't care anymore. Can I ask you a question here? Yeah, and you don't have to answer it, putting you on the spot. I'm gonna answer
it regardless of what you say, Gossling or Reynolds Gossling. Yeah, I think pretty comfortably, especially when we're talking silly goss more range for goss right, because Ryan Reynolds is always silly goss gives us some other stuff. Yeah, but I'm a I'm a big silly gus guy. I'm a big silky goss guy. I agree. I agree. Oh as in my turn borometer, Yeah, it definitely limps at points. Yeah, Fau show there's some
bore A couple moments in here. Well, I was like, all right, at the top, I said, maybe they could have chopped off twenty minutes. That's probably being too harsh, but a good eight to ten minutes here we could have chopped off and this would have been better. Hallo ween, Well, this wayne over time and it kind of has sense leaving the theater because we had to take notes and really think about it. That's where
the movie might have some problems. Also, when you have a movie that there's a lot of twists, the plot is kind of convoluted, it does make you think a little too much and you're like, I'm gonna knock a little bit more off this. Also, and I'm sorry to steal your thunder, but I am looking at your notes, but you mentioned how this isn't funny enough to be referenced. I do like the reoccurring joke of and We're
gonna kick the shit out of them. That was a nice little joke that was good in the uh towards the end of the movie there, but as a straightforward comedy, probably the best of the year so far. But if you're talking like comedies where it becomes relevant in your everyday life, when you're referencing we're having a conversation civilist similar to this earlier where all like the properties you reference all the time, this doesn't have anything like that in there,
and that means I don't think it's gonna be talked about a lot. I'm not gonna talk about it a lot, so I'm not gonna come back to it too much. It's just it's good humor. It's mostly Gossling sort of reacting to stuff in a room, which is funny. It's just not stuff I'm gonna come back to. I'm not comparing it to this movie, but I also kind of a I'm comparing it to this movie. This kind of reminds me of in the Summer of twenty twenty two, where you just recommend
Top Gun to everybody because you just assume everyone's gonna like it. This is a movie I think everyone's gonna like, and I'm gonna recommend to people fair enough. That's fair baseline. It might it might be very likable for a lot of people. Max Credit Union, who you giving credit to. We've talked about it a couple times already. But I think there's maybe three or four other actors that could maybe maybe three or four other actors that could pull
off what Gosling does in this movie and really sells this movie. It's just there's not a lot of actors that have this range as a comedic actor, dramatic actor, you know, rom com type of stuff, and do all the action stuff that's pulled off of this movie. It's few and far between. When life gives you plemings, you make plemonade. And in this movie, I feel that Gossling every scene that he's in, and he's in the entire movie. Just his likability, his nonchalant way about his comedy, it's
there. Yep. Totally agreed because I just gave him so much credit already. I'm gonna go a little bit of a swerve here Goo for plemonade, And there's a couple of people making plemonade, really starting to make plemonade in this movie. Like I said, Stephanie schu she's only on the screen for like four minutes. She's pretty good. She's never really got a chance to
fully make her her plemonade. You know who did make plemonade though, That goddamn puppy dog, Jeng Claude. Jean Claude stole the show in this movie. I thought it was the instant reaction the first fifteen seconds when they introduced the dog, I was like, this is a little much, And then the minute the dog got involved with the chase, I was like, no,
what I'm all in? And the cool part about this Gou is the it's the character is sort of a nod to Eva Mendez's dog that has passed, who only responded like in French. It was a French dog, so it was like a nod to his wife now, which is pretty cool. But the dog. The dog made me laugh out loud, like four or five times, pants Tan City, Excite, bike Mania, what got you going in this movie? And I actually did let out a pretty loud chuckle during a boat scene in this movie. Yeah, I had a couple of
real hardy laughs. But I think my favorite scene was towards the end of the movie when Winston Duke basically assembles the stunt team of the Avengers, and it's that sort of thing, but it's also a little bit of a old Kanda sort of thing going on. They undoubtedly it was like a wink and nod at the Avengers. What if he assembled a team of dukes like Franz Ferdinand. All Right, for those of you taraty to the Mac and Go party, we rate everything on a forty hot dog rating system in Mac.
Like I mentioned, I think you can nitpick this movie to death. It's a little overly explaining Bondish if you will. It's inside baseball. There's a lot of Hollywood stuff that maybe some people might get turned off by. I did not like the soundtrack here. They used kisses I was made for Loving You at least seven times. I didn't need it more than once. Also, even the other songs used, it was just like a generic jock rock album that I didn't really care for. I'll tell you what, I think
that's exactly what the movie called for. I think there was no creativity to it. I think that's exactly what the movie called for. And you are right though, this little bit of inside baseball Hollywood stuff. I also think that's why the critics have liked it so much, because it's poking fun at
that. Yeah, because this world is just so cartoony, where people are able to live through certain things that maybe they wouldn't, or get hurt with certain things that maybe they wouldn't, and it just it felt tropic thundery, but not as not as sharp as Tropic Thunder. Tropic Thunder with its jokes, were a little more out there, taking some more chances. And I
would say Thunder is hilarious where this is this is funny. Yeah. And that's a fine line too, because when you're shooting for tropic thunder type of meta humor. If you miss it can go south real And like we've said with metahumor, there's a lot of it these days. And if things are so overly complicated, but you know the actor tells us that it's overly complicated, do we ignore the overly complicated stuff because they winked at us, because
they acknowledged us, and now we're friends. I love silly Gossonnaissance I'm in on this all the way. That's what really brings this up for me. The charisma is undeniable. And also I think no one else can really do what he does. This is a great date movie. This is a lowest common denominator movie. This is a mass appeal movie that I think will hit with everyone. This will be the number one movie at the box office. I think it'll do well for an entire month. It pays homage to stunt
men. It also lots of really good stunts in this movie too, so give it credit with that for doing that as well. Mac I have this at thirty three hot dogs very fair rating. Goo. I must say, I am starting to question if you know what the word renaissance means I'm not gonna look it up. Goo yeah. Last, all throughout this movie here plenty of them, a couple of really great ones too in there. Like I said, there are a couple lulls though, and it does really lean
on the gossling and blunt stuff during those lulls. So if that doesn't hit all that well for you, maybe you'll like this movie less. The pacing's a little awkward, it's pretty predictable, so I can see people not loving this movie. But to your point, the baseline, like I think, is very much in there. So maybe it'll be ninety five on Rotten Tomatoes. Who knows? We are in the likesnnaissance right now. Gossling, Blunt, Aaron Taylor Johnson in Hand of Wantingham. They do a great job.
They keep you laughing. There was also a couple small jokes and small character details here that they didn't really push towards the front, but made me laugh out loud a couple of times. It really tickled me. They did a good job with that. Again, I didn't have massive expectations going in, and this gave me exactly what I wanted. I wasn't expecting a forty dog movie. I was expecting a fun popcorn movie. It's exactly what I got. It's a very good, very good comedy, fun action. Definitely lacked
in that dramatic edge that maybe would have taken it up a notch. But I got into thirty four Hot Dogs my number two movie of the year. Again, I've seen fourteen so far, and honestly, I think eight of the fourteen I've seen I have not liked. So shall we get to spoilers? Spoilers, spiloil stile. The amount of manpower that goes into this scheme, it's a lot. Yeah, yeah, it's uh. And it seemed like they it was a quick turnaround. They probably only had like two hours
to plan it. Yeah, and then all of a sudden they got a hundred even starting like not that, but like the stunt people or the people that are helping out Aaron Taylor Johnson, the person that is scanning the face when he first gets in there, she's a part of the plan. Everybody there is a part of the plan, and there's a lot of people involved. To you also asked like, like you understand why Wattingham wanted him to go into there to have his you know, face shown or everything like that.
But if they already have the footage of ATJ doing this for them to then put the face on it, what what is the point of them getting the phone from the girlfriend? Why not just go in there and take the phone? In general that that's all they needed. Well, they had to frame him, yes, but the here's a real thing where it started to unravel for me for a little a little bit. But I didn't I didn't
let it be. Look, and I don't care about this. Yes, well we don't care about this, but we're talking about the movie, so we might as well talk about it at the not the end, right before the conclusion, when he's officially framed. On the news, you see the footage of Aaron Taylor Johnson karate kicking the other guy, Henry I think his name was to death and they got his face on Aaron Taylor Johnson's But ten minutes before that, the video in the phone they needed was destroyed by the
shotgun. So how did they so? Wattingham already had that video. So that's what I'm saying is that she already had access to that video. So why did we need to go through the trouble of getting the phone? You should have just sent him to that hotel to see the dead body, and that's really all you needed. Yeah, yeah, you're right, it's it's they almost did one too many things and it didn't make a lot of sense. And also the fact that he explains everything to him and you're like,
Okay, let's move on from this. We get it, we know what's happening. And then even in that third act, which by the way, my big pants tent was when he drove the boat backwards because he teased it at the beginning, I'm like, yes, fuck, yes, I love
this. But when he eventually goes to Emma Blunts, Emma Blunt, right, Emily Blunt, Emily I don't know her well enough when he eventually goes to her and he's wearing that costume, which, by the way, the whole making a sci fi movie was a pretty funny, like underlying thing between the whole movie. But first off, she knows she knows martial arts way too well. I felt like everyone in the movie knew how to fight way too well. But when they then concoct their plan, I'm like, you
should have done this off camera. And then when you guys do the plan and we see the plan, we'll be like, oh, that's pretty cool, like they told us what was gonna happen. Yeah, No, you're right, you're right. It's it would have been a funner experience for the audience, is what you're saying. Also, they should have shown us at least once them having sex. I would have been okay with that. Yeah, I definitely would have been okay with that. It's also weird crass,
but yeah, we should have saw that. It's a little weird to me, and I couldn't help but thinking about it while watching the movie is both of their significant others are also so famous that I couldn't help but thinking what they're thinking, Like when their spouse's film movies like this, you know, oh who was who was the recent actor or actress that was in something?
And oh it's no every other movie. No, when everyone kept posting the scene from Challengers of Zendaia getting kissed on the neck by both those gentlemen, and they're like Tom Hollands at home crying and he might have been who knows. I saw don't do that, Sandaia, please No, I saw TikTok about basically what would you do? And that if you were in the situation of those two dudes and challengers, and there's a lot of natural responses. Are one you could come up with, and the TikTok was I would have
respect for Tom Holland. I like Tom Holland that enough that I would not do it. That's pretty good, uh you. I don't really have a ton of spoilers now for this movie. It's it's pretty straightforward. It's fun. I like it. It's it's a lot of fun. I think you're good. Point you made too is a good date movie. Men, women, children of a certain age will enjoy thirteen. It's PG thirteen. It's
it's a good time, good, great popcorn movie. Like I say, I would say that I would recommend this to more people than Done two because I think I need to know the person more for Done two and be like, you're okay with sci fi? Right? I think Dune two is good enough, so good that, But then so with Dune two, you also need to be like, now, don't get mad at me, but you need to watch another two and a half hour movie ahead of it, or
at least watch thirty minute YouTube breakdown. I have a link to screen crush. I have a link to heavy spoilers. I have a link to New Rock Star. Which one do you want? Yeason, so thumbs up, go and watch that movie. Yes, sir, let's get into maxack Man. Maxak could be anything. It could be a boat. Also, Lee Major shows up. Yeah. In the post credit amid credit. Yeah. Lee Major shows up to make the arrests. He looks for Wadingham and Aaron
Taylor Johnson and Maxak could be anything. It could be a boat. Mac Daniel our X minute, because of course, we just got episode eight of X Men, the animated series X Men ninety seven that just came out, and at the end of almost so we've gotten eight so far. Let's just let's say five of the episodes. At the end of five of the episodes, I'm sitting on my couch just staring at my blank TV being like,
that's exactly what I wanted. I would say. So far, there have been two episodes of the eight that I didn't care for, not that they weren't good, didn't really care for them. The other six I have very much enjoyed. Two or maybe even three of the eight have been unbelievable, Yes, really really great. Let me say this we're not doing a full like episode breakdown. There are gonna be some minor spoilers here four episode eight, So if you haven't seen it yet, see you later, just get
out of here. But for the eight episodes that we have right now, I love the fact that they truly planned out a ten episode season with every character having an arc, and they know the audience. They're not trying to, you know, make this for children. They said, our audience is dudes twenty eight to forty two, and that's what we're making this for. I I've got to admit here, this has been not dudes. It's people. Anyone can be a dude. I'm a dude, you're a dude.
We're all dudes. I just quoted kel Mitchell. Just let that be. This has already surpassed my expectations for this show. And to your point, the overall story that they've been telling this season is much better than any of the stories they've tried to tell in one seasons. Of the seasons of this show, it's just more streamlined. The other one gets a little all over the place. I am stunned, stunned how much I like Magneto and where
Magneto's character is going. In this latest episode, they somehow properly use the Holocaust to frame what has gone on to him and the mutants in this season so far and to properly motivate what he does next. And I just thought that was perfect picturesque. It's an absolute tragedy, a beautiful tragedy, whatever that term is. For him, he basically has to sacrifice his the rest of his life because he's never gonna be liked ever again for what he has
to do in this show. And it's great. The show is great, the motivations are great. There are a couple things I haven't liked, Like I didn't care for the Magneto and Rogue stuff, but the what that led to has been phenomenal, so I sort of forgive it. Yeah, all the stuff that I was like, yeah, like the Storm storyline took a little while to really get going. The Magneto and Rogue just kind of humanizes Magneto more. I've liked like where we are right now, We've needed every
episode to get here. And if they land this plane, I'm telling you right now, forty hot dogs. Yeah. I think it's s trending that way, and I guess this is spoiler folks, so we can talk about it. When Magneto basically turns the Earth into one massive emp to kill all
those human sentinels humanoid sentinels. What I think a lot of people are missing initially and maybe have discovered now by reading stuff online or watching videos, is that's just not taking out the humanoid sentinels, nuclear power, hospitals, airplanes that are in the sky. A lot of humans have now died because of that. But Magneto had to do it to save the mutants. So that's what Wolverine is referring to at the end of the episode when he says he's
declared war. Magneto declared wars because now all that goodwill the X Men had built up kind of with the civilians during the season a little before that is now completely gone and for Magneto, gone forever. So it actually was an incredible episode when you consider all those things, and we get a couple pretty good cameos too good. Yeah, and back to Magneto real quick, in a very short amount of time, just from season five of the original run,
he lost his sanctuary. He then said, Okay, I'll try this new thing I'll try and lead the X Men. That didn't work either, and now he is just at his last win. Yeah, and that's what I'm talking about with them framing the Holocaust appropriately. Obviously he was what eight or ten or whatever when the Holocaust happened in this timeline, he can't lose everything again, and that's what he's realizing, and that's he comes to this decision to have to do that. Millions of people probably just died, but
he had to do it to save his people. And you can disagree with what he's doing. But when if you're a mutant, I mean, I believe the episode or I forget or someone says that the overall tag of Magneto is right, right, Yeah, And as a mutant, that's basically probably where they're what their stances. But I mean, even thinking back to his final line on Genosha speaking to the child there in German, that was great too. Yeah, you're right. So back to your cameos, Well,
Charles is back. He came back. At the end of the episode. We get Spider Man. Yeah, nice little tidbit. Omega Red, Yeah, Omega Red was unexpected. I guess all these were unexpected because there's a quick montage of the falla of what Magneto has just done, and we still don't know the full full gist of it, but you get Spider Man, Omega, Red, and then Goot in a as you aptly named it, a FaceTime of all the villains. Yeah, Skype call, we get doctor
Doom who's working with Bashian and Barren Zemo working with that. And also Doom does not want this like this big mass death because that is something that he dealt with as a child as well. Yeah, we got Zemo and we also got kill Manger. Was kill Manger in there? Yeah? He was on one of the screens. Oh wow, So this is gonna be pretty interesting because the episode also lays the ground for Sinister to flip on Bashian not to go with the X Men, but he has plans to supersede or live
longer than Bashian. So I wonder if in these last two episodes you have Magneto and his mutants, Xavier and his mutants, and then Sinister sort of all fighting against Bashian in one way or another. Do you think the Goblin Queen comes back? So they tell us that she's dead in this episode, which we sort of thought she was, but again, because she is such a great psychic, she probably is still alive out there somewhere. I don't know. I don't know if she comes back in these last two episodes.
She's probably not done for the series though. I also love how they got into like absolute points in time, like they couldn't change genosha. That is just what it is. Omega level event or not a mega omega is a description for a mutant the what level events? I forget what the word is.
That just absolutely happened. This is what they deal with in spite of verse two events that you just can't avoid, and they pretty much brought up the ancient one like it's such good stuff, and there's so much good stuff in this show. It's the best. Which also makes me think about I don't know if it seems like Cable has gone back to try to save Madeline a bunch, so she definitely could be dead for the long haul, which
then, and I believe ScreenCrush brought this up. It reminds you of the episode of What If, when Steven Strange keeps on trying to change, trying to save Christine over and over again, right exactly, but it happens which I love because I think that Gambit needs to stay dead. I don't think Gambit needs to stay dead of all the people, but I'm not. I won't be upset if he is. Someone needs to stay dead. We need steaks that I agree, delicious sizzling steaks.

So we have a pretty exciting episode coming up on GOOS Day one that I am very intrigued to get into. Now, have you guys ever
heard of the movie Star Wars Episode one, The Fan Menace? Yeah, A little peak behind the curtain between now. In our next episode, May the fourth, Yes, it's happening, And this coincides with the twenty fifth anniversary of The Phantom Menace, So Goo and I will be discussing the American cinema classic Star Wars The Phantom Menace. And I don't even care about the movie. I'm thinking more about everything that surrounded that, the marketing blitz that
will never be touched again. Fair enough. I always find Phantom Menace of fascinating, like think piece and discussion this because we were old enough to crave it and want it, but young enough to not recognize some of the really shitty stuff in the movie because we were ten years old for it, whereas, like Davey talks about, I think Davy was like sixteen when he saw and that is that six years is a substantial difference in terms of like understanding
what's going on in that movie and understanding that a lot of it was pretty bad. It is the most anticipated movie of all time. Yeah, well it might be, right, So I'm actually looking forward to rewatching and it's actually in some cinemas this weekend. It's being re released. Yes, yeah, So if you're gonna go, are you gonna go and watch it. I might. I honestly might, because I was planning on going in the cinema. Anyways, for challengers, I might do a little double feat.
If you do that, can you please document your time there? How do you want me to document the time? Take pictures of you smiling and watching? I guess uh. And for the first time, now that movies are on the up upswing again. Here, now we are in the movie, and now that my schedules cleared out a little bit, we finally have like a full month planned out for the first time. I'm pretty excited about that too. Yeah, all right, So Tuesdays are Goose Days. I abuse
Kangaroos. I please flip the cassette over to side B to continue the adventure. Dam Burton
