Keanu

Hello everybody, welcome to the podcast. I am James, one of your hosts, and I would like to welcome you in for a very special episode of the Polarize podcast where we talk about polarizing movies, polarizing films, polarizing cinema, and we hash it out and we try to decide how we feel about it. But the reason that we are here is because these people on Rotten Tomatoes, the critics and the audiences, they disagree on the movies that we talk about. Maybe the critics like it.

Maybe the audiences hate it or vice versa. And it's the former today. The critics love this comedy. The critics love this action comedy made in 216, Oughts, Ought 1.6, an R rated action comedy critically favored Keanu, a one word movie, one of those one word movies. And the name is the name of one little kitty cat. I am James yet again. This reminds you had you not taken that in, but it is not just me and I would like to bring in my very, very special.

There's a lot of special things happening today. And I want to introduce you to my friend, my co-host, straight from the bar, the great brandini is here yet again. Hey yo! Hey yo James! How's it going? Hey Brandon, what's happening? Man, it felt so good to hear you introduce this podcast because it's been a minute and it feels good to be back. Baby! Yes. Let's I'm feeling good about it though. How about you? You doing okay? I feel great. Yes. It's been it's been a minute. I took a little trip.

A little trip. Take a little trip with me. Brandini to Europe. And that was fun. I'm back now and it's holiday season. I'm enjoying myself now. I'm not sure when this will be coming out, but it's it's Keanu time, baby. And I miss being here and I miss talking about movies with my friends and all the movies that we talk about people disagree on.

Sometimes even we disagree on things, you know, but we're going to see how how we feel about this one, you know, by the end of things, not often, not often. Usually a lot of times we do agree spoiler alert. We do agree on a lot of our lot of our stuff, but I love the love and hate of these movies. You know, we we we tend to agree similarly often, but we do lean one way or the other. Yes. And I recently asked you to make a letter box list.

I want I almost want to make another one of like one word movies, like the one of the best one word movies. And this, uh, yeah, best or worst one word movies, whatever they may be. I think this is a, what was that scream scream? Ah, scream. Yes. Uh, the, the new Wonka movie. I haven't even seen it yet. Okay. Okay. Uh, no. And my ester. Damn it. I'm thinking of all the new movies that I haven't seen yet. Damn it. Napoleon Napoleon. Napoleon. Oh, no. Oh, God. Oh, geez. Oh, damn it.

Yeah. See now I can't even answer my own question. This is a, this is one that's going to just gradually throughout the episode. I'm going to think of another gladiator. Okay. Yeah. Okay. No, cool. There he's going to gradually. Jaws. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to gradually come. It's like, it's like a tick. Like, it's like a, it's like a tick. Yeah. So, yeah. I'm going to start with the episode. Get ready for, uh, yeah, just us to, you know, keep. Uh, Every now and then.

Uh, and this is not just any ordinary episode. I want to say right now as well, we have a very special. Guest. Join joining us for this app. Did you know that Brandon? I did. Yeah. I was, I was I was phoned about it. Okay. Okay. Good. I don't want to like, you should probably be sitting down for this. Cause motherfucking chip is here too and he is going to be joining us. Morning ring ring ring Hello. It's me. How's it going gentlemen? How are we tonight? Ring ring on the chip phone. Got it?

The answer is the call is another one word movie. I was just thinking about it, but I know it's, that's one, technically one word, right? Is it not? Is it not? Wait, what's that Kevin Costner movie called? Waterworld Field of Dreams. What's the golf one? Bag of Ants. No. Oh, I find out. But Waterworld is a is a one word. It's a one word. It's a one word. Mm hmm. Yeah. Mm hmm. Chip, glad to have you finally on. Ten Cup. It's two and 10 cups. Close to words. It's only six letters. So. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, happy to be here, Brandon. Yeah. Appreciate the invite. Absolutely. Um, yeah, I've been wanting to have you on this pod for a while. And we were talking about it and we were talking about what movies we should do to get you on here. And, uh, yeah, you had told me that you have kind of a personal connection to this movie. And I was like, well, then we have to. It has to be there because it is polarizing. And so, yeah, I'm excited for you to be on here.

Especially the yeah, I think you've been kind of bearing the lead even with me on the story a little bit. I know you had mentioned it slightly. But yeah. Yeah. So, uh, the year was 2016. The movie was just coming out and. We were really excited to see it. It looked kind of silly, as you know, like, Jordan and Keegan are making these awesome movies. They're doing these great comedies. And, uh, you know, it was a couple of bodies. And it provides some context. Kim Peele really just ended.

This is something that overall was a pretty reverent show. I think it had like five seasons all in all. Huge on YouTube. It was like huge on like reruns and well, like YouTube was a big thing. Like people would watch wouldn't even watch the show. They would watch the sketches on YouTube and then pass around the single sketches and those would hit really big. And people wouldn't even watch it on Comedy Central. And that was a clear indicator of the things to come.

That's so interesting too, to think about it in context to how well a lot of these jokes land and don't land, because there are parts of this that are funny and other parts that you could argue are not funny and we'll get into it. And to think about this show being just mainly watch as highlight rules on YouTube makes a lot of sense. This sectioned out that way kind of this movie, but continue. Yeah, these two were just funny. They're like knee slappers, right?

You know, the quotables kind of like when we were younger and watched the Stripel show. And I know that they pretty much took off right after where he kind of left off. So we were getting ready to go watch the show or the movie and kind of excited about it. And we might have regained a little bit, you know, as one might do for kind of a silly action comedy. Stone or comedy? Oh my God, absolutely. Yeah, for sure. And, you know, maybe we got into some edibles beforehand.

And then I think we went to Friends of ours and did like a bottle share beforehand. So we were drinking these big craft beers that are, you know, really famous here in San Diego. And we got the right idea. I'd say that's the right idea for this movie. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, you know, just kind of load it up and have a good time. You know, it's a funny comedy kind of, you know, or so we're expecting.

And we kind of we decided to be a good idea to maybe, hey, let's go get some food in our bellies before. And so we there was an Outback Steakhouse. It's, you know, right around the corner from one of the closest movie theaters. Oh, my God. We talked about it. It came up once before we started recording. So this is an exciting callback that only we are aware of. But Gary, it's a recurring theme in my life. James and I am a big proponent of Outback Steakhouse.

You know, if anybody happens to hear this, it's a callback. Yeah, you know, it's their fan favorite in the Barnhart household. That's that has the bloom and onion, correct? Correct. Yeah. I think they were invented it. I believe it. Was that? Yes. Yeah. And then what the Chili's guy took it because it wasn't like patented or some shit like that. I'm not sure. Well, I think it's a legality. I don't know. Was it John Chili? No, John.

Chili. But you know what else I love about Outback is they they give you that like squab red on that cutting board with the knife. Oh, he's got that word with the whole cut in it. Got that hole cut in it for the buttercup, too. Oh, is the butter pretty like melted? Yeah. Why don't you? I'd say it's. No, continue. I like that jam. That's a good song. But a baby won't you bring me down? Very, very, very. Mess me around in the worst of all. Now it's all baby. When you say you will.

But I love you still. So that's all. It's really like the next commercial. Yeah, please call us out back. August out for sponsorship right now. So we go to. All right. So we go to Outback. We drank a couple of fosters. I think the bartender convinced us because it was like $2 for one of those cans. And if you don't know those like 30 ounces or something. Yeah, Australia for beer. It's also Australian for beer. So you actually didn't even get a fosters.

You got a whole nother beer, but in an Outback, anytime you, you know, order fosters, it means beer. We were having a good time, man. It was fun. I'm kind of long-winded storytellers. So I'll try that. No, no, no, no. That's what we're here for. I don't want to take up too much. Oh, no, we have all the time in the world. So we, I think we probably ordered. The Cucabera shrimp for sure. You know, they have these outback fries. I forget what they call them. It's some really cheesy Australian name.

They're like, they're like thick ones. And they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, but they're like, they've got like cheese and chives and loaded. Yeah. Fucking shit. Yeah. Something I'm sure Australia is not comfortable with. I love that. Bacon, you know. Yeah. Cheese and chive, man. Extra chive. Yeah. We had a good time. And afterwards, you know, we're walking over to the movie theater, which is probably about like 500 feet. It's really close.

It's like a very convenient place to go eat beforehand. They probably have the whole year on over there. Am I right? You know, that's something that they should come up with. They should like a wheelbarrow or, you know, like a wheelchair or something. What if they just hired that little train in the malls to just pick up people out front of it? You know, you build a track. That's right. I'm going to the movies. It's just a train filled with small children and drug adults.

I took the train to the movie theater. They're going to see like, I don't know, HEPA pig, the movie, you know, some dads. Yeah. I want to. So get over there, walk into the theater and we're feeling pretty good at this point. As one would, you know, you know, it's like a Wednesday or something, you know, walk in movie theater, by the way, you know, typically speaking, the snacks are going to be very, very expensive. This particular movie attendant, man, he was on it that night. Walked up.

I think he could tell that we were, we were ready and, you know, my typical order would be junior men's, of course. Got to get the junior men's big shout out to junior men's if they're not currently sponsoring, they should be. But junior men's stock to us. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't know this was going to be a branding call actually, just, you know, marketing. A brand and call you. Hello. That's me. All right. Time out. Cheers. Cheers. Okay. Yeah. Bottoms up.

Anytime there's a brand related bun, you have to take a drink. Oh, we will be three sheets to the wind as I was in my bag. I might run out of stuff to drink. So we go. Go ahead. My bad. Oh, no, I just wanted that. I just was going to remind Brandon that I really need that like printed out list of the nickname so we can keep them keep track of them all in that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. So we will dive back into that because I too need to know where we stand because there's some other.

I think there's some new ones that I'm not caught up with. Yeah. So I'm ordering food from this guy. Get junior men's popcorn and like a large cherry Coke because there's something about movie theater cherry Coke and just agree. Yeah. With that pebble ice, you know, shut the fuck up. I want it. So I think I get like a large popcorn and the guy looks at me as like classic salesman. He goes, you know, you can get an extra large for just a quarter more and it comes with a free refill.

And I just told the guy I was like a quarter. I'm sold. I'm sold. And he goes, you know what, man, I'll do you a solid. He's like, I don't want to interrupt your movie. I'll go ahead and pour you the refill right now. I've never had that happen to me in my history of movie going. That's amazing. It was it was exciting. Yeah. It's exciting. So you're really getting your money's worth. So I'm walking out of there, you know, my eyes are as wide open as they could get.

Did you do double cherry Coke or did you mix it up for the second? No, well, so the the. Bev's not. Yeah. The popcorn was the refill. Not on the drink, but the drink was like, you know, you could see my hands here. I don't know if everybody can. But it was like a kid. It was off the screen. It was off the screen. Yeah. I don't know if I'm a nerd. But, you know, my hands are full. It's, you know, it's. Now we're talking trouble here. So we start walking towards theater. We're all excited.

We're jazzed up. We got the popcorn. We got the junior men's and. I don't know. I'm kind of clumsy guy. I got to spit my gum out before I start walking, you know. And I just took a trip and I dropped the refill. All ready. And I think it was right in front of like the guy that like sweeps everything up in the theater. We're not even inside the movie yet. And I just looked at him and I was just dying, laughing. I can't keep it together. Oh, I'm so sorry. Like it's like, just sorry, man.

You want to go get another one. I was like, you know, it's probably a sign. I don't need it. We get in the theater. The three of us walk in as I'm sitting down. I dropped the other box of popcorn. That's serious. It's so much popcorn. It's on the ground that I like. Like a surgeon would, you know, I just scooped the top layer that wasn't touching the ground on. No, back into the box. It wasn't like a lot, but I was like, I wanted a little bit of popcorn. Naturally. You had to.

But you guys got to think like no less than I mean, couldn't have been three minutes prior. This guy had given me the equivalent of like, I don't know, six bags of popcorn. Like you were making it. Yeah. Like a full tall size trash bag. Yeah. Like imagine going back too close to the sun. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. I mean, yeah, that's a good one. But imagine, I mean, going back to this guy, not you know, just a mere couple of minutes later and saying, hey, I ate it all. He's just more.

He said three bills. Yeah, you know, just feeding everybody in the theater. I'm just going around passing it out. So the story wraps up pretty quickly at this point. So we're all sitting down. We're having a good time. And we watched the movie last night, actually. So I was trying to figure out the point of cut off here. So at some point, I fell asleep pretty early on in the movie. Oh, you paid for a nap. That's what we call paying for a nap. And when I mean early, I'm really early.

Maybe like about the time they go see Will Forte in the movie. Damn, I was almost going to say, like, when they go in, like the when they're in the waiting out in the car with the Anna Ferris situation, I feel like that would be the moment. But yeah, that's you know, early. I was shocked to see Anna Ferris in this movie when I watched it again. Yeah, sure. So sleep. And then I woke up kind of towards the end of the movie, like in the big like, I don't want to I don't know how we do this.

I don't want to know before. I mean, I'm assuming people watch the movie if they're listening to this, but there were loud noises happening. You're like, what is it? Yeah, there's like big fire in my neck. And the car explosions and, you know, Louis Guzman is about to get killed. And I wake up and I'm like, what's going on? And I look over and I see the two guys that I'm with there just sound asleep as well. That was my experience with Keanu. And I was I hadn't seen it again until last night.

So I'm excited to talk about it again. And then my friend Brandon asked me about like what I would want to do for a podcast about discussing a movie in depth. And I'm like, well, why not that one movie that I fell asleep for? I got to tell you, I remember everything about the night. I don't remember. Perfect choice. Yeah, you're like it's like you're making up for missing the movie. Now you have to talk about it for like, yeah, this is this is my book report.

Right. This is this is your makeup test. I hope you'll see this or hear this and know that, you know, I I'm not one of those critics, you know, I mean, well, that's what's so weird about this one. I mean, this is a critically favored movie. This is not. I mean, I feel like it was very bizarre.

It was made for those moments of like, I got really high and fell asleep for for Keanu, like that seems like the like the almost the intended effect in some ways of like, this is not this is an hour and a half action comedy. This is meant to be fun and not to be taken like every little piecemeal like critically, you know, but the critics love it. Yeah. If anything, you would have even even have having fallen asleep to the entire thing.

You have a high propensity or at least you would still probably if given the opportunity rate this movie as an audience member. Highly just by the concept alone. So it's just so shocking that once, you know, the rubber meets the road on these audience scores that people write is that everybody's like, this is aggressively mid and we don't like this. It really blows me away because from a critic standpoint, there's a lot in this movie that I don't get where they're finding these.

Yeah, these these positive things to highlight really. Yeah, from a sorry, you can't hear that notification. Can you? No, you're good. OK, cool. I hear it, but I just want to make sure you don't. I don't want to know. I think it's an interesting take, right? So the audience didn't like it very much. Not as much as the critics to remind everybody it's a 78 certified, fresh percent critic critically reviewed movie, and it's a 55 percent. Yeah, not so not so hot and spicy tomatoes for the audience.

They're they're feeling more like lukewarm sort of rotten variety of tomato tomato. I. So, you know, I will give to put some context to this situation, right? It's like I had mentioned when you were at the start of your story, Chip, is like. And James assisted in letting us know that. He and Pio was a huge deal. Like people really did enjoy a lot of people really did enjoy that show. And a lot of it has to do like that momentum. I think they kind of left at a height almost.

It's not like he and Pio, I think, left at, you know, this is all run its course. Everybody kind of wants them to lead. I think they made the smart decision to go like, no, we want to be in more movies because we're movie stars and this is their first real outing. Jordan Pio, especially what he does after this. I mean, which. So to that and we'll and I would love to talk about Jordan Pio's career, but it really blew me away that he didn't direct this movie.

Well, it didn't buy, honestly, 15 minutes into it, because this movie looks atrocious. So I despise the way this movie looks, because it has this like weird fuzz on a majority of it. And then the color correcting is all over the. Oh, anyways. Yeah. So like very much.

Very surprised he didn't direct this movie in which also kind of feeds into like, I just, yeah, it really blew me away that the critics were into this because the filmmaking and directing of this movie, I think is so aggressively mid so underwhelming. It doesn't look good and whatnot. But again, to pull it back to the main actors, both really exciting talents that I think people are like, these guys are going to be, you know, huge and they are huge. I mean, God, where I mean, Keegan, Mike and.

Michael Keegan, right? I'm saying that, right? Yeah. Yeah, you got it. Yeah. Is in Wonka, which just came out, you know, what I was going to say, yeah. And then he's he's in he loves those one word movies. What can I say? Well, he loves those one word movies. And then and then let's talk about Jordan Peele before, you know, his career after this is really incredible. Wow. What a what a strong voice. What a interesting director that we that he turned out to be that people really pay attention to.

I mean, James just had the opportunity. It was a little underwhelming, just like this movie, in my opinion, at studio tours. There's a whole nope section now. I had no idea that that existed. Universal Studios Hollywood. Yeah. Yeah. Really? Oh, oh, I don't. Yeah. I'm sorry. I don't know if it was a not at Orlando, but rightfully so. Because nope is a. I think it is an important movie. I know a lot of people are kind of mid on that. I'm curious how do you what's your where are you at with nope?

How do you feel about no. I'm here or chip. You know, I've personally not seen the movie, so that's a tough one for me to answer on. But I know what the movie's about, and I know with the direction it was supposed to take. And I from what I just have is a pretty pivotal movie, right? It's a very interesting movie for sure. Yeah, I like then Jane. I like nope a lot. I like it. I like the movie. Nope. A lot.

Um, to me, I want to watch us again, speaking of his body of work, because I don't remember a lot of that movie. And I feel like I need to watch it again. However, with nope, it was extremely memorable for me. Some of the bigger moments of that movie. And I think that speaks to his ability to come up with fresh ideas in a in a horror sort of way.

But then there were things in that movie that seemed to be really concerning the internal qualities of the character and what they were going through in not being so obvious about how you should feel about a popcorn, you know, flake where you're you're watching. Yeah, like kind of like a fun horror sort of quality sort of movie, but then it makes you think a little bit extra as well.

But very memorable moments within that movie that are done in a fresh way that transcends the bounds of sci fi and horror and dabbles into, you know, the Twilight Zone of it all. And yeah, get out is is obviously something that has brought on, I would say like a new wave of horror along with Bloom House and everything to but the new wave of what horror movies can do in general.

And I like that it's not he has done amazing things within horror, but I think within sci fi and even fantasy or more more sci fi I guess is there's something that I'm very excited about. And he seems to be expanding out as well, where we just Brandon and I talked about him doing Death Stranding or no, he's doing a Hideo Kojima video game. That's not Death Stranding. He's doing. Oh, D is what it's called. Yeah, like a some sort of horror video game experience with. We don't really know.

Hideo Kojima and and that's it's going to be an experience. That's a great. Yeah, that's for sure. It's going to be an experience. But that's sort of like modern ways to do it all. Do you know who we're talking about? No, I'm not. I'm not familiar with the name, but maybe the work if you. Oh, yeah. Anything other. Absolutely. So yeah, he's responsible for the Metal Gear Solid franchise. Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah, absolutely. And then he put he made this game like on his first like.

Honest outing as just him not to say that. Okay. Like when I just mean like really hit like the blank check, if you will, you know, for him. Yeah, absolutely. But classic for me as a child. Insanely good classic for me as a child. It was such a big movie for me. I watched it all the time. I'm BGS. But he made this game that me and James love called Death Stranding and it is a ambitious video game in its storytelling narrative.

And it is very weird and it is dense and expansive and really kind of tough to get into, but it is the most rewarding experience if you like really just kind of let yourself get washed over and become a part of this game. Or sci-fi like, I mean, it's kind of a match in heaven. I feel like both of them. Kind of cover that umbrella of like horrific, but like sci-fi sort of elements, which is my favorite version of horror at least.

I love sci-fi in general, but like alien and all that kind of stuff. And I'm excited to see what they do. I wouldn't expect after this movie for him to take the leap to do get out is something that is pretty surprising and amazing. Incredibly surprising. And I think that key and Michael keys able to continue his acting careers. There's like the funny and very charismatic. Yeah, there's this TV show.

I think it's on Apple TV plus where I forget then it's a nonsense word in the name of the show, but it's him and Cecily strong. And it's about they like go into a world where it's a music. It's a musical. Oh, cool. They're like just from the regular world. They go into world and it's all everyone's singing in musicals whenever something happens. And it's a really good pair. He's a really good casting choice for that. And it's not a terrible show or anything, but it is. Yeah, I'm not.

I didn't stick with it. It's a lot. It's a lot to take in. It's a lot to know. Yeah, I know. And I'm sure it's fun. I was never part of drama in high school, but James was and I can understand because I know, you know, friends that James would be in drama with and people that I've also grown up in my life who had been in drama because my whole thing is like drama. Musicians are really my favorite friends.

And there are some drama people that are extra AF and I can at times, Michael Key gets a little extra and which I think it just works so well for me just to have as like a, you know, something that sits always in the back of my mind and forming me of like or being present when I'm thinking about Keegan Michael Key is that improv movie that Mike Bermiglia, we do we do that on the podcast? What is it? It's like, uh, see, I'm twice.

Oh, maybe not on this podcast, but on the progenitor podcast that got us here. He's in this movie that Mike Bermiglia wrote and directed that was drinking buddies movie or no, it's a movie about improv. And it's amazing and Keegan Michael Key. Oh yeah. And he wrote a book about improv as well. Keegan Michael Key. Did he? I mean, he's I saw that the airport recently and I was like, wow, incredible improv.

Because he's such a guy that's like down to get on board with what you're doing and like, will like, you know, overall has like a kind nature to him that wants everybody to win. And I and that kind of is part of his character in this. It is. You know, him 100%, what is it? Like a, uh, not an HR person, but like, it works for the US government, I think, doesn't he? Right.

He like builds teams like he's not a consultant, but yeah, like he's a, it works for the government and the capacity of like, uh, coming in and like training teams, it seems like. Right. That's one of the best parts of the third act is that arc coming to fruition. The team building exercises that he does.

Like, I know I'm jumping ahead, but like, there's a point where the movie, there's a couple of points in the movie where they kind of grounds to a little bit of a stand still at, and then the, then it'll bring it back a little bit in those moments. It'll be like really funny jokes within those moments that'll keep me going. And I was about to almost tune out in that last action scene.

And when the minute that happens of like, Oh my God, they're communicating and look at that made the whole scene. Okay, gotcha. Okay. I'm going. Yeah. And then that's that it was set up long ago. And then the minute they dropped that, that makes the whole action scene. Just so satisfying as a whole, like not even just one moment.

It's like a joke that keeps on giving because like every single thing that they do is action based, which is what you want for an action comedy is like, Oh, they're doing the slow motion thing or passing ammo or whatever. But then it's also a joke. Like to be able to laugh at the same time that they're shooting and like that's, that's exactly what you want where I think this movie hits its stride the most.

And then there are some other times where they lean really heavily on Jordan Peele's writing slash their ability to improvise, which for the most part is solid. But then there are some, yeah, there's some moments where it just kind of like, it, it, it vamps a little, little too long. And for me, it was kind of like, I'm kind of just talking about the movie as a whole, but I mentioned the anaphyra scene and everything too. I think that moment kind of, I did not care for that.

Yeah. Arounds to a hall where it's like, there's what's going on inside the house and outside the house just goes on a little bit too long where that could be one moment in the movie and said, like you were saying, that was a great point where you said earlier, Brandon, where this movie ends up being like means to have different sketches and means to have like moments of like, some of them, some of them, like some of them.

We'll have Key in the car with these guys and we'll have Jordan Peele and Tiffany Hadish and with Annie Ferris and then we can just riff on both of those different scenes. And there's a lot of, and I'm, and I'm picking that part, that scene in particular, because I think that just where it's the most egregious where it's just like, we got to get our anaphyras time and we got to get our time to kind of riff it out a bit.

But his writing, his writing is, is, is one of the stronger elements of, of the movie in a lot of ways of how to be able to structure a movie that is an action comedy where everyone is playing it straight in day and age where I think now it is very dead pooly and very meta and hard to be sincere and a, and a, I don't know, naked gun sort of Lizzie Nielsen sort of way.

I know we're big, big fans of him, but I think this movie does well in, in at least for the most part, like, yeah, like playing it, playing it somewhat straight. But yeah, we can, we can go through it a little bit through, through the motions of it. The inciting is incident is, is this darn, that darn cat. I'd say that gets away from a, an action scene to start the movie.

You know, it's going to be an action movie, but how, how the cat comes to Jordan Peele is just kind of innocuous on it, just kind of scratches on it's, on his door and he's in need of, of someone or something or some Keanu to, to love what there's posters on his wall as well. There's a cloud Atlas poster. I like that. There's a heat poster. I know. I think the, the Coke warehouse had like joking body representation because typically it would just be a bunch of hot chicks there.

But then it's like, that dudes without clothes on, they're in there too. It's just this collection of people that yeah, because it's very similar to blow, I want to say or American gangster, American gangster for sure. This idea that like, yeah, the people working on the Coke have to be nude because you don't want them stealing shit. Right. And then there's like a big fat guy, great, great fat person in there. And I thought that body representation was so funny.

And yeah, this idea that there's a alternate version of them as these, these killers, you know, by the way, they looked exactly like Apex when shout out to you guys, you know who that is or not. Yeah, that's a little callback to your trip to Ireland there. I could not get over like, I just keep thinking of that, that music video for it's called, I think window liquor or something like that for Apex when we've got the release video.

Got this really wild messed up version of his own face and it looks just like, yeah, it looks just like them and they're. That is kind of this whole thing is like, they are Richard D. James. And all of his albums and everything are just like the Apex twin like grin, grinch, smile, evil face. And when you do the face, Brandon, when Brandon, I saw saw him live.

Yeah, it was like essentially while playing his music, he would, there was a montage of all like a bunch of celebrities and famous people and that being applied to their faces like the evil grin to like the queen of the world. And it's, it sets up real quickly. This like, scheme code or this false identity that ends up playing into the movie very quickly in a fun way. I think the intro is pretty, pretty good.

All things considered because that adds to the story of the movie and allows them the freedom to move between these groups so easily and have those fish out of water situations that happen later. But that darn cat is cute as hell. Can I just say they pick the right cat. And I agree with you, Brandon, where this movie is not shot super well, doesn't look great or anything, but the action scenes with the cat are tough.

I had imagined and they do a pretty good job of like it was refreshing not to ever see a CG cat. Maybe there was if I did, I didn't notice, but there was, you know, some clear green screening with, you know, the cat being on top of the hood of the car later on.

But during that moment, yeah, it was like running through all the scenes and the slow mo with the cat was just like, I'm sure like a very, you ended up getting your popcorn chip or, or you just ended up just, just settling with the floor popcorn. I'm sure at that moment you're like, I didn't go back. I'm, you know, I'm just watching this. I'm like, what the hell is going on right now? So you got some floor popcorn. And then you're probably like, oh, that cat's so cute.

And then you probably had some great dreams about some cute little kitty cats. I feel like that's, yeah, it's a great way to start the movie. It lets you know that it's going to be action based. And then it's also going to like, I don't know, take itself a little bit seriously, even if the humor lies in how serious they're taking. I'm remaking that point, but I just, that is something that I would, I don't know.

I would like to see more of an action comedies and, you know, I know that the self-referential stuff still happens in this movie. They're playing themselves as the antagonists, but I like that it is within like the generic cliche, you know, kind of, kind of story. They can have some fun within those guidelines. And in this movie, I'm not sure when this other one came out, but it reminded me a lot of the sensibilities and like this in some ways, the structure of let's be cops.

You guys like that movie? Yeah, yeah, that's good. Kind of that ramping up of like the not much going on in their life. And then they find some like calling and then just kind of escalates in a lot of ways. But for an hour and a half comedy, yeah, I think it sets a pace right at the beginning, like we're talking about. You almost don't know. We'll continue. Sorry. No, no, go ahead, James. No, I'm done. I'm done.

I was going to say quickly, like you almost don't even know that it's going to be a comedy the way that that movie starts until you see the cat, right? The cat. Oh, yeah. And then it sets it up. Yeah, because the cat is a super cute in the way that they presented to. I love that when it runs to Jordan Peele's character, rel that it gets its little pause stuck in the cement, right? That ends up getting a callback later where they're like, pause in the cement and it also feeds into this idea.

I feel like I just brought this up to James the other day, but there's this idea on social media about the cat delivery system in which cats are notorious as kittens to just seek out humans and just latch onto them for, you know, food or whatever. And that happens often to people where you'll see a lot of videos of somebody like walking, biking, doing whatever. And then a little kitty cat will just like, you know, find them and be very friendly with them.

And then you just have to adopt it and it just has to be your animal now. And that happening in this movie is, yeah, it's funny because that is in the zeitgeist out there that this cat delivery system exists and cats are really great at that. Because yeah, I feel like dogs on the other hand, which is run out into nature or just like runaway or something like that, you know, you drink the milk because I drank it. You know, that little scene where it's like, trust him.

And then like right after that one of my favorites was they're getting ready to go wherever they're going. He goes, say goodbye. He makes Keegan, Michael Keegan come back and say goodbye to the cat. Like he immediately latches on to this thing. So cute, you know. So Michael. Yeah, his reaction right off the bat to his, I think, sets the standard for how fucking cute this cat. Oh, he's like, oh my God. My God. I agree. Yes. And so what's the deal with Keegan, Michael Keegan's marriage?

So the reason he's able to, oh, shit. The reason he's able to do what he's doing. Berry bomb. Oh, Berry bomb. There's the Berry bomb. The Berry bomb just. God damn it. Um, okay. James cover. So the relationship between his, him and his wife, I think is not fully fleshed out because the end of the movie, her coming, I'm jumping to the end, but we're talking a lot about like, I think they get the setup down.

Okay. I think he's kind of like, he's very, I don't know, closed off to his own, whether it be his sexuality or just his own drive to be a little, I don't know, is it edgy, or is it just more like himself or some, or some kind of. Well, I think what they do, James, is they go through the movie and there's a scene where him and Jordan are in the car. And they're talking about the guys that used to beat me up when I was younger or a lot tougher than guys that used to beat you up. Right.

Yeah. So I think like, I think these two guys are pretty nerdy, right. And so like, you know, he's trying to find, he's successful, right? He's made it. He's got a, you know, beautiful wife loving family, but he's like trying to find this, I don't know, way to keep up with the Joneses as it were, maybe culturally or. Within his own friend group or something like that. So, yeah, maybe he's a little bit uncomfortable in that, in a way, because, you know, he never had that growing up.

You never had the opportunity to explore that kind of free, free side. Free, maybe like a little bit more like the top of his class or game or, you know, whatever you want to call it. So I think that he even goes on to say it early on in the movie says something like, you know, you, you try to be the person that you think everybody wants you to be. Like that's a like a poignant quote that she makes.

So I, you know, I don't know, maybe he's, it's like the internal struggle that this guy, this character has. And I think they do a pretty good job of playing with that and having a little bit of humor when she gives him the call in the house, like when he's, he has to play both sides, which it could have even arguably used a little bit more of because I feel like leading up to the end.

I didn't much care for how quickly like he punches out Rob Hubel and then she immediately jumps into his arms and it was like, we have to fuck right now. Get me upstairs. Children don't watch. And it was like, that happened way too quickly because I wanted, I wanted a little bit more of her being upset with him and like a little bit more of reconciliation over him enacting or like acting upon these new sides of himself and her being like all she kind of is like,

that is just that phone conversation of like, why are you talking like that and also by the way he approached me, he approached me in an inappropriate way and it made me feel extremely uncomfortable and we never really got, you know, and maybe that's not,

not that's difficult to approach in a comedy movie, but I thought there was something missing in the follow through of that relationship, which would maybe have someone be confused about what their deal is because and maybe the beginning of Brandon's conversation who's still dealing with a Berry mom situation. But I feel like the beginning, the beginnings, the beginnings at least are like kind of understandable, but it's for it to be coming to a head doesn't really seem accurate.

It just it has to in this movie and then it does by the end. It's just a scene to be a scene. Yeah. Yeah. It reminds me like his arc is the movie has zero time for that relationship. It's like aggressively to like an hour and a half like we actually don't care about any of this relationship in it. And the way it's designed to is so funny because it is perfect for him to just not have to deal with like have to have a lot of scenes with her, you know, just to be like, oh yeah, she's off on this.

I don't know. I again, that was so bizarre that trip they went on. Why is their neighbor taking her out the wife's not going. Because the wife's not going because he needs to say whatever. Yeah, it just happened so quickly. And obviously more time is going to be given to Jordan Peele. He's the he's a protagonist. He's the he's the main character, but he drives a lot of this movie too.

And that was just something that was it was about the cat and it was and he got to like live his out his arc, which I guess was just exploring that other side of himself, which. Naturally attracted her to him. But yeah, whatever played out. And for Jordan Peele in this movie, well, yeah, he goes through a little romantic entanglement as well. He does a double agent of sorts.

Yeah. Before we get into Tiffany Hatters, because I have a lot to say I posted it in the channel leading up to this episode. I have a lot to say about her. But before we get into that, I really want to talk about will Forte because I just recently see him in a movie and he was the best. Like I watched this movie Nebraska by the same guy who did the holdovers, which is probably going to be nominated for best picture sideways. Yeah, absolutely. Great movie.

And he's fantastic in it like he's such a good actor. He's also very funny. But man, the stuff that they gave him be a direction or maybe just words on the page were not funny. Like this. So no white guy who thinks he's Jamaican loves rap music or just like generally black trying to be. It's just it's very not funny because of the non specificity of it necessarily.

And then yeah, he just generally likes rap music. The fact that that scene where he's like, I'm going to break your day loss soul record. I was like, wait a minute. You just had him. You just had a murder. These murderous hit men and now you're going to be like, I'm going to give up. I'm going to be a rat for a, you know, theoretically very dangerous. Blips, which that alone I was like, Oh, God, this is what I'm this is what I this is what I signed up for. Is this how this is going to go?

Am I going to just have to deal with this bullshit this kind of comedy that's coming out of will Forte blips. They're not bloods are not Crips or blips. 17th Street 17th Street. Yeah, that's where they're located. 17th Street. And the other thing too is the like he I. OK, I'm going to go on the record. Everybody. Let's fucking cool it with thinking it's funny to come up with names for weed that are silly. Let's let's kibosh it. We're done.

We're done. There was one that was kind of funny. It's not. It's not that funny to just come up with silly names for weed. It's really not funny anymore. God, there was one that was kind of the. I totally forgot all the different ones he was saying in that scene. Oh, man, whatever. Yeah, because they're unforgettable and not not funny. Oh, yeah, I got the anti sadness stream to walk it off. Sunshine. I like that his his mom called him Holka as well. Like she didn't call him by whatever his.

I mean, Holka couldn't have been that guy's real name, right? And told him by his name. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean, Holka was the character's name, but his mom called him Holka as well. Right. So what is this early he had? I don't know. I don't know. Probably will. Yeah, that is the type of character that you would kind of want to like kind of steal the show a little bit when he does show up. It's kind of like, oh, he's back. He's going to make some funny joke.

And yeah, and I do like will forte a lot. And unfortunately, didn't didn't really hit too much, even him getting devoured by a snake by the end of everything. But not he didn't really do it for me. Like a little pop of a cameo because you got his cameo. And then when they get into the shit of it all, you get method man, which is, I think like he does his job well, and he plays it straight.

And then whatever comedy, a little bit of comedy moments, he does fine, but they you need you need that moment of levity to add to all this, you know, the shit that they're fucking around with and everything. And I think method man gives like a little bit of menace to make them at least like scared and drive forward at least a little bit of the plot. Otherwise, he wouldn't do anything if you know they weren't kind of pushed in some way. And I think he pushes things in a pretty good way.

And somehow it's like medicine, but still like hanging out with the cat and he's like, yeah, New Jack, New Jack City is his name and then Keanu is is their name and then Eglaceus is Louis Guzman's name for the cat. Yeah, I mean Keanu is very funny when the when we see the cat in a do rag and a cold chain and a bullet profess pretty funny.

Yeah, I did not care for fucking method man's performance though it's just it's so stilted. You just seem so uncomfortable doing that and it lost a lot of its menace during that time. Did either one of you guys write down what the name of the strip club was? Yeah, HPV party Vixens. I laughed so loudly. It's scary. It's scary. Kirsten. She was like, oh my God, what's so funny? I was like, it's called HPV party Vixens. But they like preface it before they get there.

You know, Will Forte's character says they're down at this club called hot party Vixens and right. And so you hear that and you don't even think about it and then you see the sign and just says HPV and like V is is a woman's legs. She's lying down and it looks like it kind of like like they open more at night like they do that whole thing. I love when they're walking in there and Jordan's character is like, hey, man, you can't go in there looking like that.

He's like trying to toughen up. He's like popping his collar. But the best part was like he starts undoing his belt and starts to sag his pants. He's like, hold his pants down. That guy. Oh yeah, like this guy is like, he's got this idea of this culture that he doesn't enact. He doesn't, you know, partake in at all.

Right. But he has like this kind of like branding of what it might be. And then you see it play out when they go inside the club to, you know, like, I think that's which is like a really good comedic moment for him because he is so square in his own way. And then that that's which when they approach him from behind and then he does the whole. Shark Tank tectonic shit. I think. He's funny.

Because they're such good. Like, like, that could easily go really bad and you could have a performer just make that just fucking land so flat and you'd have to cringe through the whole thing and it's just not fun. But them two together, the chemistry and delivering the lines that he wrote, Jordan Peele and everything, I think just goes goes a long way because. That's why this movie is funny. I think their performances in Jordan Peele's writing is the only reason like that.

A lot of the stuff kind of cuts through the the fat of the rest of the movie. I think that's just like, I don't know, to the credit and kind of the. Like breakthrough or it like. This fresh perspective of the movie where. I feel like movies prior to it, aside from undercover Beverly Hills cop, like it's two black guys going and doing this. And I feel like typically it'd be two white guys trying to act tough in a situation like that.

And I think it adds another comedic element where it's like, it's like two black guys that are like. I don't just like it like I'm not gangster, I guess, like, you know, and how and then turning it on. It's really funny because they are able to get into that mode very well. And it doesn't seem cringy. It just seems funny because they're just playing another character of themselves that's tone appropriate for the situation.

And yeah, I just to see that happen was it was it was funny to sit in that because yeah, it could have easily been very cringy if it was to white guy, stoner guys trying to like break into a gang and, you know, try to act tough, try to act gangster around, you know, those group of guys and Tiffany Haddish and one girl.

I feel like that I see you can character like the his favorite show on TV must have been Shark Tank, you know, he was just like trying to like relate to like the first thing on his mind. Right. He's like, was the last thing I saw what sounds like shark tank, you know, I appreciate how they start on them shark it by the end of it to you. They just abbreviate it. Absolutely. So good. So Tiffany Haddish guys, how do we feel about her? Where we are we had in our journey with Tiffany?

I think it's a pretty strong first performance. I don't know if this is her first performance, but I feel like there's something that's kind of softened about her a little bit more recently. And there's there's something about this one where you can really tell like she's really trying her hardest to be convincing in a way. And I think now she not me not to say anything because I still like her as a performer, but I think seeing her in some comedic performances now.

There's a little bit less for better or worse of like a need to prove anything. She's she's made it like, and I think that's great. And she's really given the time and space to explore whatever she wants to do or just kind of get licensed to do whatever she wants. And there's like a real thirst and in this performance, I feel like that. Yeah, I know that the thing that I was saying with methaman and her, I think there's there's a little bit of weight that's given to the movie through them.

At least trying to drive the plot a little bit more and give like a little bit more of convincing sort of performances of what this world is actually about because there is so much humor, you just need a little bit of that weight. But trying to roll her into, you know, someone who's hazing Jordan Peele and getting them through like the whole how to run the how to do the business sort of thing.

Also romantic interest and then also ends up being like someone who turns at the end is a lot to put on her characters. And I already mentioned about keys, wife and everything. And I think that there's just some stuff that's like a little bit all wrapped into one and condensed by the end that doesn't make me feel like, yeah, maybe she's fully realized. But as a performer, I see why she popped in this in this movie.

It would make more sense to me for that what you just outlined for what she does to be in something that's not a comedy. Right. No, so like, am I am I a bit in? Yeah, her being meant to be, though. I don't know. She's not really meant to bring the humor in this movie. I think this movie would be more funny as a comedy if there was somebody funnier in that role, right? I think that's my point, though, is I don't think everybody needs to be key and peel level funny.

Like, I think they're like having some people play it straight and be exactly who they say they are and not like a fucking goof. Like, you can sense like, like, she's trying to move us ranks and then with Method Man. Yeah, I don't know. Like, there's like a little bit and then like the guys on the outside tend to be a little bit goofier. But none of it's perfect. I don't know. What's that? Is that us, you know, like maybe unjustly saying, you know, she's typecast because she's a comedian.

She's been a comedian for so long that I would say that I've seen her in serious roles, though, too. And OK, that is that would be my argument. And that's kind of what I was posting in the channel earlier this week is the fact that this idea that she her as a serious actor is one thing. But she wants to like she is wants to be a comedian. And I don't think she's very funny.

I do think that the serious stuff to James, your point is nice to have in this movie because, yes, I don't want and I despise a Deadpool where no one is taking anything seriously. But then there's also, I think, arguably better mix like a naked gun or whatever, where people are playing it very straight. But there's it's like what you're saying is still really funny. And I just don't think anything that she's saying is very fun. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair.

And I would like to have had somebody in that role that was saying more funny things because sure, like it's also weird where this movie ends, where they're with their relationship because it's not like, you know, necessarily happy ever after, even though it kind of is. But yeah, like what all that emotional and purposeful character building leads to I think is, you know, by the end is so light.

Yeah, I'd say that they just put too much on her character to be able to there's so much that she has to do because yeah, I guess she can't really joke because she ends up being a fucking DEA or whatever the fuck by the end. Right. But it's yeah, I see why she's had a long career after this it it it makes sense to me and it makes me happy to see her kind of an in an earlier role, even if it's not. Yeah, it's not.

I mean, what about this movie is super memorable, because I feel like it is it is very funny ride and it's got a good pace for the most part. But coming back to it this time I'm like I don't remember a lot, and then leaving it as well there isn't many of those scenes that really like grip you in a way that's like, Oh yeah, there's that one part where this happens. I don't know what would be that moment for you guys like oh Keanu has that one part.

I'll give you that part for you guys. You have one. George Michael. Yes. 100% 100% yeah let's jump to that. So I mean, the whole like I guess the whole connection between them and George Michael I have a lot of notes on this. I'm a huge George Michael fan to rest in peace. I just found out that and sorry to interrupt but I didn't know that he died on Christmas. The same the same year this movie came out. Wow. Yeah.

So a couple things that I would I would say on George Michael. I'm one kind of surprised that careless whisper didn't make its way into this song or into this movie. I feel like, you know, maybe that was a comedic moment where they're all in the car and they're singing. I know they get into Father figure and it's this really cool bonding moment between him and these up and coming gangsters, you know, and it really kind of shines a light on these guys because

they're really not that tough. They're just like these new guys who seem to kind of get into it recently. But like the him leading these guys into like, hey, how awesome is this music and then later on, I think later in the evening, they're at this big party and he does the Holy shit. Holy shit. And he transports into a George Michael's music video. Like he's literally in the face of the video. And he's like, oh man, I don't know if I could do the whole spin and all that.

Yeah, look at you. Yeah. Look at you do that spin. I don't know if I can do it. And then he does it and you're like, yeah, you're just you're seeing this. And like if you've seen that music video, it's it's pretty like memorable, right? Rememberable iconic. And you see that. Yeah. I didn't that quality to it. Yeah. They transpose them right into it. And, you know, I've not. Obviously, the Holy shit is based on like, you know, a kind of concoction of different drugs and DMA and DMT.

I've never done anything remotely similar to that. But, you know, they do a really good job of describing you like what that might look like. And it has kind of like this grainy film to it, you know, like, like you're in the 80s in the music video. It was cool. Yeah. To me, that was pretty memorable was just tying him into that quite a bit. Getting the actual Keanu's voice in there for a second to you. That was that. Yeah. Last minute. But yeah.

Isn't that so interesting, though? Because I agree with you, Chip, that I was so much more interested in the conversation happening in the car. As opposed to the tense scene that was going on. I couldn't give a shit less about that drug scene at all. Because it was very natural. Yeah. It was so. It was so try hard. It was so cringy. Because it was trying to be like D'Arantino movie nights with a Molina Alfred Molina scene with like all the fireworks and stuff and and.

They even have the boogie nights cat photo later, which makes me think that. Oh my God, that. That what is it? He's making a calendar that only for himself and it's got all of those really fun pictures. Point break. Another. And what was it? It was like the towards the end. They were like, they were pulling like, like some side cop almost had it and they're like, oh, this is really good.

And I can't remember what your movie was, but they called it back that even, you know, just a random person who was like searching his house after those stuff with Luis Guzman happened. They're like, this is cool. This is fun. So you're going to find those guys. Oh, absolutely not. No way. We're never. Oh, never, never, never going to find them. I'm curious one thing. So with with George Michael. So like he passed away later that year. Do you think he ever watched that movie? I would hope so.

He had him and he had to have cleared a lot of that stuff of like how music was going to be used. But maybe it was just whatever Warner Brothers or Warner Music Group that had that owned his music or something that was able to give the go ahead on some stuff. But to use him, I like actually use his name in his I don't know. And that's like his likeness in some way. And I like how he kind of laid out the story. And what we have. Yeah, that's good.

It was you know, it was odd too with the inside the house and a fair stuff is that I I didn't quite get that it was actually her like until like halfway through. Throw a line at the end. Yeah. Until she was dead, I think. Yeah. You totally killed her. Yeah. Legally speaking. You did it. They're like meat cute, essentially, where they're like, you know, kind of falling in love and he's like, No, you know, it was you who killed her. I know it was just there.

One of the funnier moments, I think too, is like when they're trying to get him to get them to like prove themselves and then it's never explained and never brought up again. But Keegan Michael Key does a fucking backflip off the wall. And then it's just like, oh my God, I fucking know. And then it's just like they just move on like a little bit more of that kind of, I don't know, just I did the backflip tomorrow. We switch off and back lifted back.

I had some of that like absurd, I don't know, kind of off the off the wall humor, if you will.

I could have could have like livened some some stuff a bit in this movie, but I do think that yeah, them in the car and then Jordan Peele in the house was a little bit of a slowdown for me, picked up a little bit past that I think that them as characters were finding a new conflict between themselves, which I'm always curious about and like buddy buddy movies of like, Oh, there's always going to be that moment where they get into fight amongst each other.

And that started to come out in a somewhat fun way. Like, and then the argument led to him doing the holy shit. But before that, I am curious about Keegan, Keegan Michael Key, like being, you know, like, allured into this world of, you know, being a blip and, you know, fending on his other other side of himself and everything. Right. So what's the end goal? Like, you have a family, you know, it's like, yeah, he's getting the joke being he's the one that's getting pulled into it.

And he would think of it and it's Jordan Peele. But yeah, Jordan Peele by and large, they end up liking Shark Tank more than tectonic. And I like that moment. It's like, they like me more. And then it ends up tectonic is a little jealous. Yeah. Yeah. Why don't we smoke weed? Why don't we show them how they do it in Allentown? And they could have gone a little bit further with some of the humor in certain areas. But then I really like the length of this movie.

This movie is an hour or 40 minutes, hour and a half, essentially. That's whatever. Like, I appreciate that side of it. And so the fact that a lot of these things don't get fully fleshed out ends up being okay. Then like shooting the, you know, the bad guys, the, what do they call them the fucking, there's like, it's a last name or something. And then killing them. I thought it was like a pretty funny. Allotown.

Yeah. Yeah. And then like just like, you just fucking shoot them up and they're like, oh, they're not dead. You did that. And they're like, he does it again. And like Jordan Peele shoots them. Like that was a little bit more of that violent humor. It's kind of funny. Yeah. Very comedically long too. Right. So they call it a mag dump when you spit everything out, but it's like, there's way more bullets and they're being sounded off than there it actually be.

So, you know, that's just like the aggressive humor of it, you know, totally in their faces and the way that they do it, because it's very much like once you start shooting, you like almost can't stop. And you're just like, I'm just, I'm to the entire pretty funny. And then they don't come back. Like the two like bad dudes, like they just don't come back. They just fucking kill them. I think that's, that's pretty good. And it just wraps up so quick.

And I'm, oh my God. Yeah. The whole thing I've already mentioned with key and his wife and then the Tiffany Hadish and ended up being, you know, in on it. And she takes, she like, it's all just happened so quick is just like, I'm going to kiss you to let you know that this is still a thing, but then I'm going to take the cat. I'll take care of the cat. I'll see, I'll testify on your behalf and it's like, oh, okay. Okay. Okay. And then you're going to, okay.

It's just a lot that it's like, okay, wrap up. All right. We'll see you later. Okay. Goodbye. And in a way I'm okay with it, but I just, there's another part of me which recognizes that there for a movie that had moments of like really felt like pumping the brakes and taking its time with certain things.

It's frustrating by the end knowing that like, oh, there's a few of those little pockets that you could have explored a little bit more for some humor or an extra scene here and there with key and his wife and the kids that we never see. And, you know, Jordan Peele and Tiffany Hadish, you know, there's like, I guess they have the prison scene with the glass, I guess is one moment, but you know, there could have been, there could have been a little bit more in between areas of humor.

But I have just, I'm just wrestling with the, is it, is that worth pushing it past an hour and a half runtime? I'm not sure, but I think there's a version of what would you add? Like I said, yeah, like something between key and his wife and then maybe one other thing with Jordan Peele and Tiffany Hadish, but that's where I've, I've, we've, I feel like we've come across on this podcast where it's like, I have to pump the brakes on myself doing that because.

If I change the movie, then something else is going to go missing. So I should just let it be and appreciate the things that I did like about it rather than probably trying to change it. It's a great way to look at it. Yeah. I mean, it's just funny to think about this movie being as short as it is that it could have been even shorter because the last like 15 minutes of this movie were resolutions for things that were well set up.

So this is like arguably an even shorter movie, you know, it's like, yeah, because wouldn't it just been so much easier to just conclude like, like most and no one even would have thought twice about it is, you know, the joke is yeah, you go to jail, but it's not like you show that right.

You just go like, oh yeah, you know, that's where we're going to lead this story is he's going to go to jail, but you know, we set up the fact that Tiffany Hadish has the cat and we'll be there and all of that stuff. But no, we see this whole just to squeeze out a couple of jokes and really a run time.

To me, seems so blatant. It's like, fuck, we don't have more movie. We have to add the stuff in and yeah, to not being that funny. Yeah. It's, you know, the joke is Keegan Michael Key is in that stereotypical relationship where he wants to like his wife now dresses in leather and is visiting him at the jail. And then of course, Keanu visits, you know, well, they do the whole, you know, that's fun. Yeah. That's not, I don't hate it. I don't hate it, but yeah, it's not that funny.

It's probably unnecessary, you know, that whole last scene where they're in the jail cell, whether it be Tiffany or, you know, Keegan's wife coming to visit them. I think you could cut that out. So now you got like another three minutes. They could call it a run time where they could maybe tie some loose ends up. But I think, you know, what they're what they're doing that for is they're setting up that one last scene of all the blips together.

They're going back and they're like, Hey, we got to run this. We got to, you know, take care of this. We're the top dogs in the jail cell. Right. So I think I think they wanted to get that one last. Hi, everything together of everybody working together as a team kind of thing. Yeah, I don't know. And then and then at that point, Chip is waking up popcorn all over himself. Remembering what it has just transpired.

A fever dream, if you will. I'll tell you, you know, if I if I had seen the movie actually seen it actually seen the movie if I was in the theater, I don't know if I would have liked it as much as I did watching it again. Oh, I really, I really quite enjoyed the movie. Let's talk about yeah, let's let's talk about how we're feeling about it. Yeah. Overall. Yeah, I can get some reviews as well. Yeah, yeah. Would you guys care for a little break before I do that?

I know I would. I will be right back. I'm going to take a little bathroom break and I shall return. And welcome back everybody to the polarized podcast. We have returned from a nice healthy break and we would love to talk to you about some of the critics feelings as well as the audience feelings apart from us. Let's get into it. It was a 70% again certified fresh critically reviewed film. It was a 55% audience reviewed stinker according to them. It was on Ron Tomatoes.

Not other other places, but Ron Tomatoes, they did not care for it. Let's see some reviews here from Brian Egert from deep folks review is on Ron Tomatoes. Give it a three out of four amid plenty of funny moments where our heroes are confronted with tense life threat life threatening situations. We always find humorous ways of defusing the tension. That's so fun. Wow, man, so tuned in.

They know what the sounds like Brian sounds like Brian from Richard Krause on Richard Krause three and a half out of five. These are people from top top critics from Ron Tomatoes is when I'm crossing for us. The movie is a mix of down dirty jabs. For instance, the local strip club is called Hot Party Vixens or HPV fish out of water gas. I like that joke too. A brilliant celebrity cameo and a fixation on George Michael that borders on the pathological.

Sarah Cartland caution spoilers is her publication three and a half out of five. A funny and endearing tale about Keanu the gangster cat or as I like to call him the boat the bogeyman. I mean the cat they send to kill the bogeyman. The action is a perfect parody of a wiki and ballet with soaring soaring music and slow mo backflips against pillars. They spell bogeyman bogeyman and the joke is not. It's three out of five for you. For that review. Thanks. It does not make sense.

I would like to include every type of review. Okay, man, sounds good, though. I think that's maybe what she was going for. You mean bogeyman? Oh, yeah. Peter Travers Rolling Stone says I've heard complaints that's a feature film debut from Comedy Central skin peel is uneven, overlong and really just a cavity video disguised as a movie. Yeah, maybe, but I laughed my ass off. All right, Peter. Hello, lost and found. You have my ass.

From David Sims at the Atlantic, the joke wears out sooner than it should but the stars of Keanu, including yes, that terrific cat do a decent job distracting from that. Oh, so the movie shitty, but you just got distracted. How much do you think the cat made on this film? God, I hope a combination of how many cats does it say on this IMD be trivia seven cats and kittens play the title title character.

I've received a case of fancy feast and an assortment of cat toys. Since Keegan Michael Key is allergic to cats, he had to take a medication in order to interact with them. Wow. In an interview with Ellen in December of 2017, Tiffany, Tiffany Hadish stated that she kept one of the kept one of the cats who played Keanu as a pet. The Ellen. The Ellen. The Ellen. Yeah, man. It method man's character is named Cheddar in the wire. He plays a character named cheese. Oh, stop the connections.

Wow. Too good. This movie operates on multiple levels. You audience reviews. Let's see what they have to say. I'm the poopy doopie snoopy 55% from scamper who gives it a one star out of five title. Wow. Waste of time and money should have been condensed into a 15 minute cartoon. No, 15 minute cartoon. Sorry, I misspoke. I love cartoon or though as a instead of an animated movie or whatever you call it cartoon or that's a say. No, what are we going to say? Very Kentucky at that guy. Cartoon.

It's a cartoon. Worst movie I've seen all year movies in school were better. I've seen this movie at the recommendation of a colleague. It was so boring. Drugs, shootings, nudity, profanity and a B rated plot. Okay, the kitten was cute and the last five minutes of the movie were cute. Basically, it's like somebody had this great idea for a movie that involved rival gangs fighting over a cat and two wannabes that are instantly accepted by hardcore gang bangers.

And he had no credibility. I think the writer must have gotten stoned because he was disappointed that this rap that this rap song floundered. So he tried to make the song into a movie and threw in a kitten for good measure. This should have been included with Amazon Prime, although it still would have been disappointing even if I hadn't paid $6 to watch it. The co-worker won't ask me if I've watched it yet. I'd like to avoid having to give my opinion at work. Don't we all?

That's like a genuine worry. Water from the water cooler, Thomas. He actually has an opinion too. That's a funny thing. It's like, I have a genuine once I fucking hated it sort of opinion. Even then, I still don't want to fucking share it. I'm going to write this review, but I'm not going to share it at work. I'm not going to talk about it. I'm just going to go on and write my review on mommy anonymous.

Yeah. I don't want to actually make people think I have this opinion from Cindy L titled thought it was a funny cat movie. It was funny, but way too much foul language. And although we watched it for about 45 minutes, we did not see very much of the cat. We finally turned it off. It was not what we expected. From OMPG titled cat movie with nudity, language and violence. These are all one stars, by the way. If there is a cute animal in a movie, younger kids are attracted to it. No question.

But this movie is full of terrible language, extreme violence and strip club nudity. My 12 year old was heartbroken when I had to make him stop watching this movie with an adorable kitten, but with totally wrong context for animals or kids. I would like refund. We had to stop after less than 30 minutes. And we'll do one more from rich. I would like a refund. Anybody out there, give me a refund. Please give me. Give me the refund.

Rich gave it a one star titled I like Keen Peel. I like Keen Peel. However, this movie is terrible. There was an even insamptet humor for long portions of the movie. Aren't these guys comedians? The movie is clearly supposed to be a comedy with that plot. My wife and I took a chance renting it on a Saturday night thinking at least it would be good for a few jokes and a handful of gags.

Wow, did it fall flat all that fake street talk grew old as quickly as it started and it was relentless throughout the movie. And then they added that at the end of it. Yeah. Uh huh. Yep. If it were thankfully I saw the notice on the screen of the sound. Yeah, no, it was like, man, I was like, oh, because I'm home alone. I was worried that somebody else might have farted around me. And you did the whole, face to your like, oh, no. Oh, somebody farted. Why put after she put my face.

So I think I don't know, like those reviews solidified why I originally thought that the audience didn't like this movie. I said a lot of the other ones I saw were a lot about not enough cat. This movie was slated as a cat movie comedy and there was not enough of that darn cat. There was a stretch in the middle where there is a movie there is no cat for long, long periods, but sure. Yeah, no, I can't believe it.

I can't know. No, no, it's not going to work. I give up and I give it to any of you to decipher why I think we've talked about a lot in this episode. It's been so polarizing this movie. Otherwise, I would love for Chip to get into his review. My reading is that hot take here. The audience. Yeah, I think like looking at some of those reviews is a. They expected a funny cat movie and they did not get a funny cat movie was was my general reading of it. But yeah, I think you guys have any.

I think you're spot on James. I think that the audience, two things happen, right? So they were expecting one thing and didn't get it. They also didn't and they also didn't know like maybe the the brand that was coming at them, right? So like. Really? I think the key and peel show was so great, right? And a lot of people watch that. But if you look at movies on a much larger scale than what a TV show on Comedy Central is going to provide, right?

So this was a box office movie. So we're talking about, you know, maybe families are taking their, you know, four or five year old, you know, daughter or son to the movie to see. Maybe maybe they just didn't know. What are you talking about? No, I'm serious. I'm thinking that like, I'm like a branding perspective. No, yeah.

No, so from the average, the average person who doesn't necessarily know who Ian Peele is or are and they don't know that brand of comedy and they see this movie advertises like this funny cat movie. They're going to take maybe their children to see it. And then they go and they get this incredibly different thing. Yeah, it's cute. It's it's adorable. We have this cat.

But like now you have this R rated comedy and there's that disconnect between what they thought they were getting and what they actually saw because there's no way possible that somebody who knew what he and Peele do. And what their brand of comedy was and what they advertise this movie to be would go in and expect to see that would be this like egregiously upset by it. Right. Because a one out of five from somebody who knows what key and Peele are. It doesn't track. It just does not track.

I don't know. That's my take. I think there has to be a disconnect between the average person who saw the movie and what their expectation of it was.

And what it actually I think that's what's listening like the strong reactions and people and the thing that is sliding the scales a little bit more is people seeing maybe the trailer that we watch before this recording and being like, oh my God, that looks so fun about a little kitty cat that's going through this adventure with the guys from key and Peele. And right. You've only seen a select few sketches or you've just heard from a friend or something like that at this time.

Pretty popular stuff. Not necessarily too racy. Yeah. In my mind, it's like I would want them to go harder into the more gnarly, violent sort of crazy shit and really like juxtap. Yeah, because I'm a fucking. Why not? Free. Free. Yes. Finally. Here you are. You were saying that. We were saying that. I got you while you were taking a break. He is. God dang free. I am a god dang free. I've been I've been pitched as the fucking freak on this podcast for too long. No, it was me the whole time.

And now it finally comes out. James is a freaking self. That's right. The changing of the guards. No, I want more. All right, Steely Dan. The sack. Oh, yeah. Steely brand. Steely brand. Yeah. Steely brand to you. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. I had to pull it back to the original. No, I wanted to be yummy. I'm wine. Yeah. And over the over the break, I had a you had the berry bomb and I had a spill of my own. We're just on a double spill round. So Chip, be careful with this because spill right now.

Oh, he's careful. You fucking you fucking spill. Yeah, I'd be in a lot of trouble. I'd get a front spanking if I've never heard of those. That's for another podcast. I'm a front spankings are my favorite. I put my pants on backwards. Just for the occasion. Easy access. I'm a front spankings are my right.

Yeah, I mean, for me, this, this movie, yeah, I mean, as far as reviews go, like in my, my history of this podcast, I feel like there's those like very vocal minority that really just lean into those one star, five star reviews of like really loving and or hating it. And for me, like most people like this movie. And the people that didn't like it really wanted that like more fun cat movie is is my read on it.

But to have a certified fresh critically reviewed action comedy in the in 2016, I think is an interesting specimen to look at for this podcast. I think it was, I think it was worth it. And I would think it's worth it too. Yeah, I would say the same. Like I understand. It was kind of hard to come by. I understand the polarizing nature. It's just so funny to see the critics like build a movie up. That's not really that great base more so on like what it stands for.

And I think that the critics are, you know, pushing forward this agenda of like, we want more comedies in the theater, you know, budget made at this budget. We're excited about these two as talents, like all of those things, but whether or not this is like really that good of a movie arguably has a relatively low bar and it's funny to hear critics just go like, yeah, this movie sucks, but it's a Stoner Buddy comedy.

So what, you know, it doesn't have to be, you know, it's not like every movie has to be Schindler's list. Am I right? You know, I walked in. That's what my review says is I walked in this movie expecting Schindler's list. I did not get it. Therefore, it's a one star out of five. You know, Schindler's list movies are just not the same for me anymore. I've noticed more and more movies are not Schindler's list. It's like, it's like, you know how there's AD and BC? There's after Schindler.

I love how this character is like Werner Herzog. Seriously, he's like, it's the most beautiful movie. It's the most beautiful movie as these time periods. And now we are living in an existence that is post Schindler's list. But he feels that way about Keanu. He's like, it's post Keanu. Yeah. It's the new Schindler's list. Keanu is leading up to that scene. Leading up to that scene, I was just so furious that Keanu Reeves wasn't in the movie. Well, he voiced the cat, though. I know that.

But I mean, that's like 90 minutes, almost like 70 minutes. Keanu Reeves was a fucking cookie. Jesus. When he shows up in the credits, he's like waiting for this epic moment. He was at the scene with George Michaels. No, but I'm saying he shows up in like the IMDB. Like, so for me, who had seen the movie, I saw the movie, quote unquote, saw the movie. Yeah. I was like, yeah, but. Good luck, Miss motherfucker. You should have been in charge of the Allen. We'll do that to you.

And I got to give a rollback to out back, man. They did a really good job. They promised it was the guy's name. He took a really good job. He took care of it. He took a good job. I'm now back employee and giving me my comparison. He cut us off. I think he. No. He was like, you guys got to go to a movie. You can only get like six appetizers and like four beers. The popcorn guy did not cut you up. He's like, you need more. Take my popcorn. That guy. You were treated so well that whole night.

I love that. I wonder what the popcorn guys up to these days. I mean, I think I'm gonna get a little bit of a break. I mean, I know the rules, but I'm gonna do this is probably what he's doing. Whatever he's doing, he's like, I'm going to go above and beyond. Give you a little. Yeah. He really made that night. Well, I mean, he, he kind of. In a roundabout way, you know, you're responsible for this podcast. We're here right now. Yeah. Yeah. To him. Yeah. I mean, this isn't even a brandy.

Situation. I think his name was Brandon actually. So, okay. Perfect. Yeah. Okay. To Brandon. Here's to Brandon. Chip, if you had any final words to say about the, the film experience Keanu and you were to a scribe, a score from zero to 100, 100, zero being the worst and 100 being the best, what would you give it? So. Give your watch. Give your take. Like, yeah. So. Movie was. It was fresh in so far as like, okay, so it has that like. Sketch comedy. Feel to it.

It almost feels like a scary movie and a little bit where. You know, they have like these different scenes, which almost don't exist. They have an affair. Not one through four, but. Just one through four, not five. She was too old. Yeah. Too old. Just wanted to make sure that was covered in this podcast. Thank God. No, no, it's so they had that you jump through like these motions where it's like these almost like sewn together.

Shout out stitches sewn together like scenes that are all put together, right? Yeah. But it was a type of like sketch, almost sketch comedy movie that hadn't existed before. There was like this like crime comedy, at least something that I maybe I haven't seen enough movies to. They're out there, but like what you mean? I mean, it's what you're saying is that premise is exciting. And I agree. Yeah. Yeah. It was it was fun. It was fun. So I would say I would go for like 88.3 overall.

I really like the movie. I would watch it again. We're back to 88.3. It's radio station, in fact. Yeah. Welcome to 88.3. I liked it. I would recommend it to people. I remember watching it last night. My favorite part about watching it was my fiance and I were watching it. And as we're getting into it, she's like, oh, no, I can't watch this. This is too scary. This is too scary. And I was like, there's a cat balls, right? Yeah. She hates cats. No. Like it's it's a comedy.

No, no, no, no. The shooting in the beginning of it. And I was like, no, no, no, it's a comedy. Just stick around for a little bit. And she's like, this is actually pretty funny. So I think it's a it's a relatable movie. It's fun. So 88.3. I don't know if we've ever had decimal points. Chipp FM. 88.3. Chipp FM. I'll do the 88. If that. No, please. No, no, no, no. It's already in the books. It was broken by broken by Danny because we told you it's a zero out of 100.

He decided to give a movie above 100. I think it was like 140 or something for 40. Is that Malik? Yeah. So our scale is I should have said zero to 140. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're keeping it within zero and 100. I can't change my ratings. I'm not played by the rules. That's how good Malik Nen is. You have to make an exception for the exceptional. Am I right? And he is exceptional. He's got to Danny, by the way. Shout out to Danny. He's kind of like 140 out of 100 person.

Yeah, the cheers to Danny. Cheers to Danny. Hey, cheers. Danny, we love you. Danny, we love you. Congratulations, by the way. The most featured guest on this podcast. By far, I think. Yeah. He's been on like six or seven episodes easily. He's royalty. Yeah, that makes sense. Brandy James. James Steenie. You want to rock paper scissors? Rock paper scissors. All right. Well, OK, wait, wait, wait, hold on. I'm just fucking with you guys. Ready and go. Two, three.

We know we got one more time, one more time, one more time. OK. And OK. And go. Both paper. Go again. One, two, three. Shoot. Oh, dude, on camera. Brandon, you were not. Right. I counted. Oh, I destroyed his scissors with my rock. So what does that mean? I get to choose, I guess, is what that means. I'll go first. Fuck it. I don't care. I can do it. See what happens. You don't even give a shit. That's what we established in this episode. You said you're actually a goddamn freak.

Yes, I am the freak. I wanted more freaky stuff out of this movie, but that does not detract it from being a good time. I thought this was when you think of like an hour and a half fun action comedy. This overall fits that bill. I think my hiccups were with a little bit of stagnation with the anaphyras scene and being in the car. Although one of the most more classic things of like my other criticism of like, oh, well, what do you remember this movie for?

Because it is like a little bit forgettable is the George Michael stuff. I think it's really fun. And that's when that occurs is when they're hanging out in the car. But I think it's it's not a resounding endorsement where I could list every single, you know, memorable moment and put it on my list to watch again and again. But there's something alluring about this movie where I feel like it would serve a broad spectrum of people.

As a comedy goes, I feel like a lot of people could sit down and watch this movie and just make sure you all wear sunscreen. All right, pass Lerman. All right, Michael, man. Yeah, I just I don't know. And as far as comedies go, I think that's something that's to be applauded. There's an excellent pace to this movie that I enjoy. I know I just said it has a little bit of a hang up, but I think it it every for every bit of moment that there is a bit of a hang up.

I think it brings it back with at least a joke or two that kind of keep you going. Performances are super solid. The writing is overall again solid. There's a couple things where it wraps up really quick at the end, but to have an hour and a half fun movie where you could throw it on while you're bringing two large tubs of popcorn with you and fall asleep, drop both of them and then come back years later. At least specific seven years, several years later and re experience it. I don't know.

Yeah, it's hard. It's not perfect, but it's a good time and I and I would recommend it to people overall. So that would have to put it in the 60 to 70 range and I'm trying to find the right number to to put on this on the sucker. I'll do a 71. 71. Nice. Well now. No. No, the specter front door. I really like the movie. I love it. The broad spectrum. Everybody makes sure put on some sunscreen. Oh, OK. For me, guys, I he's going to be really hot. He's going to do like a ninety something.

No, just cuz you know, sunscreen covers a broad spectrum of you. Oh, and watch out. I'm gonna get my soapbox. I'm ready. Whoa. Very bomb. Um. It's a great score because, yeah, I think all of us can see that this movie isn't funny all the time. There are sags in it. I mean, visually, fuck, I really detested a lot of this movie, but.

And weirdly come around a little bit more on the critic side of things where there's a reverence for a stoner buddy comedy. And again, like I pointed out is like, you know, typically we see it a certain way and I feel like this gives us enough of like, here's a different way of. A buddy comedy existing that seems so natural and it's so fun in a lot of ways. And I did have a good time. I mean, and yes, you know what really helps everybody out there listening.

Short run time. You know what? Even if some of the jokes are stinky, you're in and out and you know, we're on to the next thing and a lot, you know, I would say there's a fair amount that is forgettable. But. There's some stuff in here that I will. I do think are funny and will remember. I'm going to give this score. It's going to join the hallowed hallowed halls of my comedy score rankings. You know what? Because I agree. I think it's important. It is going to get a 69% baby.

Oh my God. He's crazy. Fucking bastard. He did it. He did it. I'm not even I would have to take account for how many 69s there are in this in this podcast. I know spring breakers is one of them, which is one of our very first episodes. So it's it's it's a nice callback. Before we go, I would like to play a brief small little game of magnetizing. Yes. Yes. I have all the time. Let's do it. Let's do it. We'll make a quick chip. We appreciate you so much.

It is it is the universally beloved game magnetized the game where much to the opposite effect of polarized is movies that have the exact same score on Ron Tomatoes as opposed to very, very polarizing scores. Really magnetized scores. So all these movies will have the exact same numerical value by both audiences and critics on Ron Tomatoes. And this is a very special Keanu Reeves edition where these movies all feature Keanu Reeves. I love this so much.

And I'm not sure if we've done this one before. Chip, would you like to go first? So, Chip, what you're doing is as you are picking James is going to say the movie and you are going to pick the score that the audience. Okay. Yeah, I'm not going to play this. I brought it up to them at Chili's. We played it at Chili's. We went to Applebee's Applebee's Applebee's because remember, there there's a lot of major, major dollars on the line here in terms of potential deals.

Yeah, we went to Applebee's for dollar readers. And we got played magnetized in public. Absolutely. Yeah. While housing nine appetizers and 15 drinks. Well, officially, if anybody. Chili's stock went down. Officially, we did it for the first time in Apple's bag. Nine appetizers and 15 drinks, 146 bucks. Officially, if anybody asks, we did it for the first time at Outback. That's true. That's not necessarily true, but, you know, that's what we're going to tell people. All right.

Guess first, do you understand the game? Yes, I do. Yeah. All right. So I got to guess the score. What is the score? These are magnet. Well, you didn't tell me the movie to tell you the movie. And I want you to tell me the score that is shared by both audiences and critics. The first one that I will tell you today is the matrix resurrections. The most recent matrix movie. What everyone has agreed. This is a pretty wild out there movie. A sequel coming years later.

And everyone agrees on exactly how they feel about it. 30 imagine a 30. 78. The most recent matrix movie. The most recent. We got a 30 from Chip. And we got a 78 from Brandon. We have a win for Brandon in the first round. It is a 63% from audiences. It was close without going over to be fair. No, it's not. He is. Yeah. I mean, if we were doing prices right rules, but I did not mention that before and I do not care for those rules. So we are not doing them. Okay. All right.

I should have mentioned that to begin with. But yes, if you are trying to do prices right rules, you are not welcome here. I don't see the movie. I just heard people didn't like it. So I just assumed it would be really low. No, people actually liked a lot of parts. Have you seen matrix resurrections? No. I'd recommend watching. I would just as a curio of. I do really like Indiana Jones five. What about that one? How does it compare? Oh, I like it over that for sure. I like it.

Okay. Yeah, absolutely. I really don't like parts of it. I really like other parts of it. It's so weird. Like I'm polarizing my own mind about it. Which yeah, it's kind of Indiana Jones here. I'm like, oh, this is really fun. Oh, no, I don't like this. No child. Yeah, he died in Vietnam. That was four. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No child. The boof in either of them. Yeah. We did four on this podcast. That was fun. A classic Danny episode. All right. Are you guys ready for round two?

Brandini, you will get the first opportunity to guess on this one. It is another Keanu movie. It is a sequel. It is 1991's Bill and Ted's bogus journey. Shares the same score on both sides of the fence. 58%. 58% from Brandini for Bill and Ted's bogus journey. What do we got for? I think I'm going to go 65. Something about that number just sticks out to me. It's a good number. Unfortunately, both of you guys are very, very close, but Brandini just takes it. It is a 56%. You were too off.

I don't know how you get much closer than that. I just got the numbers transposed. I did your Dandis. Yeah, you just switched them around. You knew there was something special about those numbers. It's your Dandis way to go, Chip. Hey. Well, but no cigar kind of wins. But I mean, we could do a triple or nothing. Let's do a triple or nothing. Let's do it just for fun. Just for fun. This is going to be a disrupt this man's night. Yeah, let's really fuck with him. Yeah, fuck yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. This is obscure to me. I've never seen this movie, but there's probably many other people. That should be the next segment we do. This is obscure to me. Welcome to this is obscure to me. And it's like a very recognizable thing. That's just obscure to me. And it's like, I don't know. This is the first time I've heard of this. And it's like, I'm driving this daisy. Yeah. I've never had a peach before. Have you? Oh, it's delicious. You're all about peaches. The giant peach.

I know it's me now. It's me and the giant peach. So this is me and a giant peach. I want to get this damn giant peach. Yeah, you're like the. Oh, there you are. 2024 like the pet. I'm the pet. You're the pet. Yeah. Brandini pet. Yeah. Okay. Cheers. We're supposed to stretch. There's a stretch. All right. You guys ready for the last Keanu movie? Yes, please. This is from 1991. I'm going back. Hardball. It is a Gus Van Sant movie with both him and river Phoenix titled. Whoa. My own private Idaho.

Yes. That's a big deal. I feel like that has to be. Brandini, you got to guess first this time. No, it's to you. It's to you if you want to guess first, but whatever you prefer. Okay. So you want to do prices right rules this time, Chip? We can do it. No, it's okay. No, no, we're not going to change the rules of I'm going to say 73% on this one. 85%. 85%. So close. And you really should have done those prices right rules because it is an 80%. Oh, he is five. I five. You are seven under.

And here we are again. Brandini taking it away with the five. Oh, welcome. What he's talking about. He just knows what he's talking about. That's it. Welcome. He's all right. All those pants down for that front spanking little. Congratulations. It's hot. Just came up right behind him and just chopped their dicks off. It was a double dick. Yeah, he did the double, the double dick. Two dicks. Yeah. One was like a long pencil. Yeah, I know. Those tiny dicks. No, the fingers, the fingers.
