Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of M three Trend Unrated or meg trend on unrated, depending on you know, your persuasion, how you feel about how the title of that film is supposed to be pronounced. But I am Jack and I'm thrilled to be joined by our writer Jim mcnaw. Hello. Thanks for having me, Hey, thanks for being here. You have not watched Megan. We established before we started recording. It's one of the great shames in my life right now. Yeah, I haven't seen.
I really do want to. It was one of those ones that I wanted to see in the theaters and it just it felt like it came and went so quickly. Yeah, it's a blast. It really is a lot of fun, and it is trending today because they're unleashing. They're not just releasing their unleashing the unrated cut, which seems to
focus on more gore. There is I'm not gonna say which child Megan is not very used too in the movie, but they're in the child who you you root for her to kill at one point I won't say if she actually create, but so, and they show like multiple parts of that scene as the unrated so they're like,
you're gonna get some real grizzly child killing. Yeah, it does seem like there's actually some gory stuff that they cut out of the movie in the script, because like remember then there used to be a time when DVDs would yeah, it would be like unrated, but it was just because they put in a scene that the MPAA never saw. So it's like technically was unrated, but it's just because no one actually watched it and bother to rated, no payoff. Yeah, yeah, this this seems to be I
can imagine it did not. I was surprised to learn that it was PG thirteen after the facts, so they did a good job with the editing. It implied a lot of things that you don't typically see in a PG thirteen film, right, Yeah, but yeah, yeah, I can't wait to watch it. Now. Do you do you think, based on having seen the original, should I wait and watch the unrated one when it comes out. I don't think you need to. I think it's just fine as is.
That's a lot, right, And if if I didn't see m onegin or mugan um and the sounds what it sounds like a Swedish word, maybe it sounds like the thing they said in Street Fighter when they shoot yeah balls and um yeah no it's it really it kind of picks up you don't miss much. Although when you watch M. One Get and M. Tugan, you really get like the whole story, the whole picture, right, Yeah, epic, epic man Um. It is National Margarita Day. Yay. Love
this for Jimmy Buffett. I love this for the margharita announcing itself as a drink that's not for Catholics. You know it's a right because this is this is ash Wednesday. I guess you're allowed to drink on ash Wednesday like Catholics drink during church, so you're probably too. Maybe maybe that's not fully accurate. I just know a lot of a lot of Catholics give up the booze for lunch. I I don't know that much about Catholicism, but I can't imagine that like making a blender full of margharita's
is would mean the spirit of ash Wednesday. You put the ashes of dead things on your forehead. Um yeah, what a time. How will you be celebrating National Margarite a day? I guess you could. You could because there is like a sprinkling of salt around the rim. Maybe you just do an ash rim a margharita with an ash rim one way to catholic it up. I don't.
I'm not gonna do anything differently in my life other than the fact that I looked up Jimmy Buffett's Twitter to see what he was about it and nothing failure. That is unacceptable Jimmy Buffett's social media manager. The only justification I could think of was maybe it's because every day is national Margarita Dave in his life, right, he doesn't he doesn't discriminate. Um, yeah, was the last time
you think he put on socks? I bet he's like had to wear shoes at like an event for like flip flops, but socks I bet he gave up on sometime in the eighties. Oh totally. Yeah, the man hasn't bought a sock since, you know, the Carter administration. Yeah, rip or not yet necessarily, I don't know, but yeah, that that is something that is kind of perpetually trending.
Jimmy Carter, greatest ex president, pretty shitty president as he was doing it, and for all his left wing you know, cred was just a regular American president with like I think he invented the Delta Force. It was a you know right, you mean you mean the movie with Chuck Norris. Yeah, he was pictured up that while he was That's why it wasn't very good. He was mainly working on some spec scripts for Cannon Films. Uh, for starring Chuck Norris. Um,
all right, grand jury four person is trending. I mean it's not where this is a fiction. This whole show is a fiction, right, Like we make up phrases that are trending, but that thing regarding a grand jury four
person is a trending. CBS News legal analyst Ricky Clement says it's inappropriate for the grand jury four person in the Trump Georgia investigation like into you know that that seems to be heading down a road of Yeah, they perjured themselves just like repeatedly, constantly the way that other people breathe. They perjured themselves. Um, they are now saying that because the grand jury four person was like talking about it, they're going to try and use that to
challenge make it throw the whole thing out. So who knows if that's possible, But I'm always always get my spighty sense starts at tingling anytime it feels like Donald Trump or any white billionaire is going to get away consequence free for doing something blatantly illegal. I mean, what if there's no rule about that, Like jurors, I mean, I don't know if grand juries are different, but like jurors are allowed to after the case is done, discuss
it freely. No. Yeah, they are saying, she believes it will make no legal difference since Willis will make her own decision and a new grand jury will be seeded to issue any indictments. But Cores is prohibited from sharing any Cores is the grand jury. Poor person is prohibited from sharing any information from the special Grand Juries deliberation, and she does not appear to have done so. So it's just like, I mean, it gets very well. Could be them grasping at straws and just being like, please,
don't do mean to us. So she's she's allowed to talk about the case as long as she doesn't talk about like the specifics of their deliberations, right, And they were like, she's talking, So that could be something I don't know, yeah, which is Trump's general legal strategy for life is just pointing things out and having his lawyers like file various suits regarding that motion. Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back with some
Pedro Pascal appreciation. Have you heard about this guy? Have you seen this this guy? He's a pretty hot right now. So we'll be right back, and we're back, and Pedro Pascal's everywhere. He was on SNL a couple of weeks ago.
He did just fine. I just watched his monologue. There was like a what if he was in a different video game adaptation for say Mario Kart sketch that was solid, And I just watched his monologue and it really feels like one of those monologues that they were just like, wow, Like just being in a room with him is cool. Let's just yeah, the thing that the story that he
just told, what if he just did that? Because it's just like a story from his week that you get the sense that he just charmed the pants off every human being in thirty Rock And they were like, could you just like get up there and talk in a beautiful purple shirt? Yeah, totally. He's so charming. And I love it when they do monologues where it's just like
chatting or telling stories. It's like it's somewhere in between like doing a big gimmick thing like a musical number or having Sometimes they have stand ups come out and then someone like hands them a microphone and you're like, oh, they're just gonna do their their routine. Yeah, but he just comes out and talks and he's yeah, like he said, completely charming and funny and yeah. Yeah, everybody loves him. And he's been around for so long. Like I saw someone said the other day he was in like an
episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Wow, that's how long he's been doing this. That's an old show. Yeah, apparently, so he's trending currently because one of the directors on the Last of Us said he wept during his emotional scenes and even when he wasn't filming, and just like when he was driving on to set, he was weeping. I think. I think what he's describing is he's going through something, maybe emotions. He just needs help. Yeah, this
guy's always crying. It's amazing. I mean, you can't tell. But also in The Mandalorian he's always crossing just behind the helmet, weeping openly the whole time. I mean that makes sense it's such a Yeah, it's such a harrowing show. It seems appropriate for the for the show. But I guess it's like, yeah, for like, if they're doing a two shot with another actor, a lesser actor, would you know, be in his trailer while the Pedro Pascal stand in
comes in and does the scene. But not only does he do the scene, but he like brings his A game and actually cries because he's a pro. Yeah, yeah, I think I think it's probably very helpful for the person acting opposite to have the actual actor there bring the A game even when they're not on camera totally. I also was just served a March twenty nineteen video of him and Oscar Isaac reading like some phrases that
are googled alongside their names. Um so they're they're old pals apparently, And yeah, Pedro Pascal seemed like a little drunk, like not necessarily like he was drunk, but like he was you know that like sometimes when you're like a little hungover and still a little drunk and you have a fun energy about you. That's kind of the vibe I guy from from the video. But the algorithm, it's not just what's trending because of the news. It's also
what's trending. The algorithm knows the people crave Pedro Pascal, so they're just serving it up. I was I think I was watching NBA highlights for Miles and Jack got mad boosties, and it was just like, you know what, you probably want to see Pedro Pascal and Oscar Isaac from four years ago talking to one another, and they were right. The algorithm was right. Yeah, the algorithm was exactly right. Favorite Pedro Pascal performance for you? What are
you going with? I don't know. I mean, I'm not a huge Game of Thrones fan, but I do remember like when he showed up in that show. Yeah, it just it brought me back into it because he was so charming and so like it's so it's probably not my fair because I'm I'm a huge fan of the show, but like like everybody that was like you know, I mean, that was his breakout performance. But I remember that just like elevating. Yeah, a show that I was kind of
losing interest in. Yeah, one of these guys was like really handsome and like just fucked everything that moved and yeah, he was just liquid sexuality. What if we did that for a couple episodes. Well, he felt like an old movie star, you know, yeah, totally, yeah, he totally felt like yeah, just every every moment was just hitting the mark, just like the Perfect Ray of Sunshine was. Um, I'm gonna go with Wonder Woman nineteen eighty four. Maybe not
my favorite, but I think an underrated performance. He's very strange. He has no mustache in it, but it shows a little bit of his range because he's like just a like the most pathetic super hero movie villain that I've seen in it in a long while. He's just it's like, it really feels like a Gill from The Simpsons was
his motivation. He's like, oh boy, oh man, that was like, yeah, I do almost Even though I didn't like that movie, I do all you kind of admire how strange it was to make a sea cool to like a you know, huge blockbuster superhero movie, and the sequel is like, well what if what if Donald Trump got a magic Wishing rocket eighty four? Yeah? All right, and a twenty four auction? This is something I wasn't aware of that you brought
to my attention. But they occasionally auction off their props. Yeah, they they did it like it was maybe last year, the year before, I don't know, time has no meaning, but they did an auction. I remember, like the Midsummer May Queen dress was like the big thing. And yeah, and I think one of the like bejeweled furbies from Uncut Gems. Those are like the big items in the last Those are both really cool. Those both feel like they should be in the Academy Museum a little bit. Yeah, totally.
But this one, I guess is mostly props from everything everywhere, all at once. Yeah, it's a real mixture. It's a real real grab bag. Like one of them is pile of receipts. There's just a pile of receipts with various things circled. Deer dres calculator. That is a calculator that I believe my parents had um and did our taxes on when I was a child. Right then you can also get laundry Delivery RV, which that's the hot dog hands obvious. Yeah, yeah, uh yeah, but yeah, the plug
is huge. The Employee of the Month Award for Auditor of the Month for the I r S is a butt plug, funny, visual gag and useful to have around your house, you know, totally. Yeah, you can get that. You can get the actual Rakakuni prop. Yeah, that's something that's big. That's big, that's a you know, that's a conversation starter. Yeah, just put that in your living room. It's very strange. So A twenty four auctions they have. One of them is rock Verse Rock and it's just
a rock with two Google eyes on it. And I hope some dipshit pays like ten thousand dollars for that, yeah, because they don't even say it's the rock. They're like, it's the stunt double from the Rock Verse. It's okay, it's a rock. Yeah. But they also have like so on the front page it's like laundry and Taxa's auction. It's like these props from those parts of the movies
in Another Life auction, mementos from the multiverse. And then down below that they have a section on the A twenty four website Novelty Factor and they have like a inflatable toy microphone that just has the logo for the wedding singer taped on playing from Casino and it's just a playing card deck with like the casino poster on
the box. Um it's pretty It's like half of the auction is like, you know, expensive props from like an Academy Award nominated film, and then the other half for the auction, it's just like promotional items that were sent to Jean Shallotte in nineteen ninety five, right, prosthetic teeth from Austin Powers. But it's like in the plastic packaging that it comes with when you go to like a Halloween store, like it has the Austin Powers like logo on it and like a blister pack. So, I don't know.
It's wild to me that on one part they are auctioning off items that feel like they belong in a museum, and in another they are auctioning off things that feel like they belong in a junk drawer. But you know, I'm I'm not here to tell a twenty four what to do. No, no, they you know, they seem to be doing it right. Yeah, there's a Fargo paper shredder. Yeah, I guess because the wood chipper is maybe the connection.
I don't know. That's weird pin art board from hollow Man, and it's just one of those like hand those things you put stick your hand in, Like all that has all the pins and you see the other side, but it just like that's just a sharper image thing. But then they wrote hollow man on one part of it. That's so weird. You know. I think these ones may have closed already. I think maybe just the everything everywhere, all at once stuff is going up now they are closed.
And the amount that people paid for them, Like somebody paid one hundred dollars for the wedding singer toy microphone, Like, now this is being ationed off for charity. So great, Like I'm happy for them doing that, but it's just a strange, like in terms of the message that it's sending, it's just a little confused. Oh yeah, they have the fanny pack from Everything Everywhere all at once too, That would be pretty great. There's a lot of great stuff.
You know. Someone paid one hundred and seventy five dollars for a Babe piggy bank that doesn't even look like Babe. It just has the word Babe stenciled on the back. It could have been from the Babe with John Goodman. Well it says is from Babe nineteen ninety five. Yeah, there are a lot of Babe movies around that same time. But anyways, go spend ridiculous money on everything everywhere, all at once, prop on the A twenty four auctions, twenty four auctions dot com. You can go do that or
you cannot do that. Yeah, it is well coast to good causes. Yeah, that is true. Well JM. Pleasure having you as always. Where can people find you? Follow you? You can follow me on Twitter while it still exists. I'm at jam McNab again. There he is. Um all right, that's gonna do it for us this afternoon, back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we'll
talk to y'all tomorrow. Fight
