The Quickness vs. Prequels and Conspiracies

[00:00:00] Speaker A: What's the last comic book movie you saw? [00:00:02] Speaker B: The last comic book movie I saw? Well, I watched Star wars, the Star wars prequels last night. That's not an answer to your question. But it is what I watched last night. [00:00:12] Speaker A: What, all three? You watched all three? [00:00:15] Speaker B: I watched them in a movie marathon over the course of two days, yeah. [00:00:18] Speaker A: Are you feeling okay? Were you sick when you made that decision? [00:00:20] Speaker B: What's your. No, I really liked them. [00:00:22] Speaker A: Oh, are you. Are the prequels your. Cause? Everybody's got their era of Star wars. For some, it's the original trilogy. For some, it's the prequel trilogy. And now there's the sequel trilogy that is universally loved. [00:00:37] Speaker B: So I don't think anything about this has to do with, like, me having, like, a affinity for it from when I was a kid. I've never seen them before. [00:00:46] Speaker A: You've never seen. You never saw the prequels? [00:00:49] Speaker B: No, I never saw the prequel before. It's one of those things where, you know how certain things in culture, they. They're so ever present that you kind of know everything in them even though you've never seen them. [00:00:58] Speaker A: Yes. Yes. Like the Bible. For me. [00:01:00] Speaker B: Yeah. For you. [00:01:01] Speaker A: Never seen the Bible. [00:01:03] Speaker B: I cannot wait for the adaptation. I hear they're doing it in two movies. Wow. [00:01:09] Speaker A: That feels like they're gonna have to cram a lot in. [00:01:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Old Testament's won. [00:01:12] Speaker A: Oh, wow. Daniel Radcliffe is playing Jesus. [00:01:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Which is crazy because. Yeah. Anyway, I love the Bible. Big fan. But I liked the prequels. They were good. [00:01:26] Speaker A: Wow. Okay. So, highly controversial topic. They are saying that the prequels are great now. Not as hot of a take since the prequel trilogy came out. [00:01:34] Speaker B: Yes. And now there's the new sequels in the Skywalker. [00:01:38] Speaker A: Excuse me. Yeah. Since the sequel trilogy came out. Yes. The whole Skywalker saga. I have to ask you, what did you like about the prequels? [00:01:46] Speaker B: I liked. I. I liked the political quality of them. I liked that it was. Is this. You're staring in camera as if I've said something really crazy. No one liked the politics of them. Let's say this. I didn't think that was the most interesting part of the movies, but as a whole, I liked that it was like, oh, yeah, how do you get to an empire through a rising military complex? How would an emperor maneuver himself into these things? I liked that part, and I really thought they just. Once you take Anakin just as a character and decide to just go in on that character, then you can have fun with it. Once I decided, okay, this dude's just intense. That's part of who he is. This character is intense. As long as I accept that as the truth and I'm not the whole time being like, wow, this is terrible, then I can enjoy it and actually really like it. [00:02:38] Speaker A: Right? [00:02:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:39] Speaker A: What was your favorite of the three prequels? [00:02:42] Speaker B: Probably the third. Cause it felt like things were finally happening. But I liked the pod racing in the first one. [00:02:47] Speaker A: That was fun. [00:02:48] Speaker B: Yeah. And the first one, just the first 30 minutes are crazy. [00:02:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:52] Speaker B: Like, we're watching these two jedi go to a place, talk about trade. [00:02:57] Speaker A: Yeah. Trade routes and whatever. [00:02:58] Speaker B: And then they go underwater and talk to. And then they meet Jar Jar. Jar Jar the least. [00:03:04] Speaker A: He's great. Your personal favorite character, the Star wars. [00:03:08] Speaker B: And what I particularly liked about Jar Jar is how he's not. Has not a stand in for any bad stir. [00:03:16] Speaker A: No, not at all. A completely unique creation. [00:03:21] Speaker B: Yeah. Jar Jar Binks. Literally, I was watching it. Cause, remember, I haven't seen these. I knew Jar Jar was offensive, but I didn't know why. And I was just watching it, and I just slowly was like, yeah, like, open mouth. I cannot believe this. This is crazy. [00:03:36] Speaker A: I mean, to be fair, there's a lot of great things about Josh. [00:03:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:03:41] Speaker A: Ahmed Best is the actor who portrayed. [00:03:44] Speaker B: Yeah. You want to tell me? Golden. [00:03:47] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. In defense of the prequel series. Come around. [00:03:55] Speaker B: Of the Star wars prequel series. And Jar Jar Binks. [00:03:59] Speaker A: Yo. A lot of people thinks Jar jar stinks, but I'm here to defend Jar Jar Binks. Shit, that'll make you jar Jar think. [00:04:10] Speaker B: Yeah. Jar Jar Binks. [00:04:14] Speaker A: Jar Jar Binks. Here's the test. He was played by an actor named Ahmad Best. I got to meet him. Really super chill guy. He was the first character. Fully CGI. [00:04:27] Speaker B: Fully CGI. But you would never know. No, he's so cool. Jar Jar is my main bro, bro, bro best. Always eatin on a hoe ho. Woke up in the room, I'm like, jar jar, go go. [00:04:41] Speaker A: Star wars prequel series. So worth the hype. Full of amazing racial stereotypes. Of course the Jamaican. But there's more to be the guy who had wings like a bumblebee. [00:04:54] Speaker B: Yeah. I like his floppy ears. I like his tiny beard. I like his big eyes and his way of talking weird. [00:05:02] Speaker A: The way he ate all that watermelon, the way he took really long naps. [00:05:10] Speaker B: Jar Jamisa fan of you. [00:05:14] Speaker A: Jar jar Misa fan of you. [00:05:17] Speaker B: I love all the things you do. Jar jar, you're the best. [00:05:21] Speaker A: You're the best. I like how he would fall and stumble in the room. I like the way he was a real big coon. I like the way Jar Jar would speak. Misa Fanny, you misa Misa gonna drink jar jar Bink. [00:05:40] Speaker B: He doesn't jar jar stink. [00:05:42] Speaker A: Nah, he's gonna make you jar jar think. [00:05:46] Speaker B: Yeah, but he's got you on the jar jar bring. [00:05:51] Speaker A: Oh, I better stop. Oh, let's take a verse and explain the character watto, that guy who was in charge of the pod racing, kinda spoke like an old jewish guy. [00:06:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I loved Watto. I loved all the jewish stereotypes. I liked how he bargained for money. That was what I liked, how he was gambling with funds. I liked how he acted like he was the only one. [00:06:17] Speaker A: When it comes to Watto, he loves his slaves. When it comes to Watto, he loves to get paid. Watto. [00:06:25] Speaker B: Watto holding slaves, making bank. He's the kind of guy that makes you really up the crank on the jewish stereotypes. [00:06:33] Speaker A: Jewish stereotypes. [00:06:34] Speaker B: All those Watto jewish stereotypes. Like that big money. Yeah, I suppose. Can't have Watto less. [00:06:42] Speaker A: He's. [00:06:42] Speaker B: He's got a real big nose. [00:06:47] Speaker A: Big nose. Big nose. [00:06:52] Speaker B: You know Watto. You know Watto jar jar. [00:06:56] Speaker A: Together they brought. Racing really, really gives my heart. Racing, pod racing. Pod racing. [00:07:08] Speaker B: Controlling central banks and pod racing. Thank you, George Lucas. [00:07:15] Speaker A: Yeah, you know, it's all about poetry. It comes and goes in rhyme. [00:07:19] Speaker B: Ultimately, I wanted a sort of space age saga, a space epic that included as many insane racial and ethnic stereotypes as possible. [00:07:30] Speaker A: Something that really reflects the real world. [00:07:36] Speaker B: I almost forgot about Watto. [00:07:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:38] Speaker B: I remember while watching it. [00:07:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:40] Speaker B: Like, five minutes in, I was like, something bothers me about Watto. And then. And then I think he. I think he said, like. Like, I like money. [00:07:51] Speaker A: He said, like, something I think that he does. There's also the. Ah, man, forget the race of the aliens. I was trying to think of it for the song. [00:07:59] Speaker B: Oh, the trade Federation. [00:08:00] Speaker A: The trade Federation. [00:08:01] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:08:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:04] Speaker A: I don't want to touch that accent either. But it's a little. It's like, for those of you who aren't familiar and those of you who are, know exactly what we're talking about, it's kind of like an Asian. [00:08:12] Speaker B: It's like a white guy doing a fake asian accent. [00:08:15] Speaker A: Like, what's his name? From breakfast at Tiffany's. Yes. [00:08:19] Speaker B: Andy Rooney. [00:08:19] Speaker A: Andy Rooney and breakfast at Tiffany's. Oh, Mickey Rooney. Mickey Rooney. [00:08:22] Speaker B: Mickey Rooney. [00:08:23] Speaker A: Andy Rooney's the old guy. He's like, you know what really grinds my gears? That's Andy Rooney. Mickey Rooney has, like, the fake teeth and the very harsh accent. Yeah, those. And even. I don't know if that was on purpose, but, like, the trade Federation are like, pup. Like, their faces are puppets and, like a mouth. Yeah, their mouths don't even move with the words that they're saying. Like, it's a weird bad dub. Yeah, it's. But yeah, that's your favorite series. That's what I heard. [00:08:51] Speaker B: And that's my favorite movie. And that's why I love it for the racial snakes. [00:08:57] Speaker A: That's so funny. Cause you know what? Yeah. In nerd culture, which I think I've got, I mean, not like a math or specifically science or any, like, quite actual, like, arithmetic. Any real world math. What am I saying? Real world nerdom is what I'm saying. In the Star Wars, Nerdom, the prequel series are now gaining more traction and. [00:09:24] Speaker B: Popularity as new generations find them. [00:09:27] Speaker A: Yes. [00:09:28] Speaker B: Because when they came out, they were pretty panned. [00:09:30] Speaker A: So panned. And I remember I was heavily disappointed by the first movie. I saw it in, like, 1999. I was, like, ten years old, and I went with my dad super hyped, because they re released very cleverly on George Lucas part or Lucasfilm. Whoever made this decision to re release the original series. Whoa. You know, the original trilogy. And I was like, this is amazing. Got me so hyped for the new movies and was very confused and very bored as a kid. As a ten year old, I wasn't so into trade routes and the trade Federation and the slow rise to power of, like, evil forces. [00:10:08] Speaker B: It's true. As an action movie, it does have a lot of, like, if Senator Amidala was to propose a vote of no confidence. Meanwhile, ten year olds are like, when are they gonna use the feisty sticks? [00:10:20] Speaker A: Yes. I wanted to see those fightie sticks, to be fair. Oh, my gosh. Darth Maul didn't have the biggest part, but really spoke to the nine year old in me or the ten year old in me with the double. [00:10:32] Speaker B: I like that they were expanding the lightsaber rules in the first, in the prequels, but it is funny. Cause then it means in the later ones, they're, like, less cool. Like, the implication is, like, they got worse at tech. But, of course, doesn't really matter. The CGI was really good, too. I was really impressed for the time. [00:10:49] Speaker A: I mean, it was some. Yeah, I mean, Jar Jar was legitimately the first CGI, fully CGI character in a movie. [00:10:56] Speaker B: And you could tell. [00:10:57] Speaker A: And that's. I. That sound like a little bit of shade, but. Yeah. Yeah, it was a big deal. At the time, I remember thinking, whoa, that's so cool. You know, that's ILM. ILm, arguably still the best in the business in terms of visual effects. And I love. [00:11:11] Speaker B: I'm watching their doc right now. [00:11:12] Speaker A: You're the top of the game. Which one? [00:11:14] Speaker B: The Ilm doc on Disney. [00:11:15] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. That's spectacular. [00:11:16] Speaker B: Yeah. So cool. So much to learn. So interesting. But also very interesting. Cause it's like when they started, it's just like, hey, you just graduated from USC and you kind of want to work on special effects. Come have a career. [00:11:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:29] Speaker B: And it's like 84. And now all these people are like millionaires, presumably. [00:11:32] Speaker A: Oh, man. [00:11:33] Speaker B: Cause they just, like, got in on the front of a wave. Yeah, but it's like, I don't know. I guess now if you want that, you go intern for six years. And I don't know, maybe it's no equivalent now. [00:11:42] Speaker A: I don't think. [00:11:42] Speaker B: No, not really. Cause what industries do we have? Like, starting now, I guess. AI, I don't think. I feel like. I don't know. It's rare for there to be, like, a new industry that you can, like, hop into, at least in the creative arts. [00:11:56] Speaker A: Yeah, that is tough. I don't even know. I mean, everything is so different. And a lot of those ILm guys had to create that stuff from the ground up. [00:12:04] Speaker B: It's pretty cool. [00:12:04] Speaker A: Like the dude. Oh, man, I'm forgetting his name. But the guy who he and his brother created Photoshop. Did you get to that part yet? Like what? [00:12:12] Speaker B: I know. And they also, like, in that studio, they offshot Pixar. [00:12:16] Speaker A: Pixar. [00:12:16] Speaker B: Crazy to see how much of an. [00:12:17] Speaker A: Effect just ilm had amazing stuff. I mean, that made. I'm just a fraction older than you, and that really made my childhood ilm. Like between Star wars and Terminator two and Jurassic park and all the Pixar stuff. Like, I remember loving toy story just because of the textures that they would have on the toys. It felt so real to me as someone who was quite frequently playing with toys at the time and who am I kidding now as well. They got, like, the little fringe of plastic on the army men, just like where they came out of the mold. I remember thinking that not the mold part, but just that little bit of plastic on the army men and being like, that's how it really looks. I was just like. I was blown away by the CGI at the time. [00:13:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:00] Speaker A: A little sad that it killed 2d animation, but what can you do? [00:13:04] Speaker B: Is it coming back? No, it's not I'm like, where, where. [00:13:08] Speaker A: Is it I'm looking for? [00:13:09] Speaker B: It's gone. It's gone. But, yeah, I agree with you. So, yeah, really cool, doc. But your original question was. [00:13:16] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:13:17] Speaker B: Was what was the last comic book movie I saw? [00:13:19] Speaker A: Last comic book movie? Superhero movie, comic book movie. [00:13:26] Speaker B: Lord. [00:13:27] Speaker A: Lord? [00:13:28] Speaker B: Yeah, Lord the artist, Lord. I've never seen diamonds in the flesh. No. Gosh, what did I see? Sorry, I can only think of movies I just saw, which I saw Sing Sing starring. [00:13:43] Speaker A: Oh, that's like the opposite of a comic book. [00:13:45] Speaker B: I know. It's an extremely sad drama. [00:13:47] Speaker A: Let me get this straight about that movie. I don't know much. I know. Colman Domingo criminals being reformed through the power of the arts. [00:13:58] Speaker B: Is that what it's, it's not really about reforming them. It's just about a program that allows prisoners to do theater in prison. And it's about them using that as a tool to process and work through really hard feelings about being incarcerated. [00:14:18] Speaker A: Are they performing versions of the crimes they committed or like, what? [00:14:23] Speaker B: No, it's not like that other really heavy doc. The one about the priests where they use theater to work through, like, things that happen to them as kids. Oh, wow, that's another film that's really great and also really heavy. But no, this one is, they're doing like, I think they did Hamlet. [00:14:39] Speaker A: Oh. [00:14:39] Speaker B: And then they do a comedy. [00:14:41] Speaker A: Shakespeare. Yeah. [00:14:42] Speaker B: So like, they're, yeah. The theater is sort of the backdrop for the relationship between two prisoners. One who's trying to help, the other sort of out of his, out of his shell. [00:14:52] Speaker A: And it doesn't end with, like, one of the murdering everybody because they, they're old ways, kind of. [00:14:58] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, it ends. Yeah. That's sort of the take of the movies. You people can never change your grass. Love it. And no one is redeemable. It's sort of the takeaway. [00:15:07] Speaker A: I love it. I think that's more. Movies should be bold enough to have that message. [00:15:13] Speaker B: Nothing matters. [00:15:14] Speaker A: Nothing matters and people never change oh, good. [00:15:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:17] Speaker A: Yeah, dude. [00:15:18] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:15:19] Speaker A: Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Nothing matters and nothing ever will and that's real. Nothing, nothing, nothing even matters nothing even matters at all. At all at all yo, the world is polluted. Who cares? We're all gonna die in like ten years. We all got microplastics in our blood so thick it's not lasting. [00:16:03] Speaker B: Yeah, we're gonna die. What's the point? Why should I even try? What's the point of making my bed? I'd rather shoot myself in the head. [00:16:13] Speaker A: Ooh. What's the point? [00:16:14] Speaker B: What's the point at all? What's the point what's the point at all? What's the point? What's the point at all? I love feeling so dang groovy when I come out of my favorite movie they're telling me why should I care? Time to kill everyone in the area. [00:16:32] Speaker A: Redemption is something from fairy tales. In the real world, people are not prepared. Everybody trying to kill each other. I would even try to kill my brother. [00:16:41] Speaker B: I remember reading Harry Potter when I finished with the plot and the others. Then I remembered that the story of the book is never take a second look. Leave the orphan under the stairs let the bad guy win the game. Never change, never change never change leave. [00:16:58] Speaker A: Everything the same Matilda should have never left her parents, and that's a fact. If she never left, then she would be stuck in the same place she was at. [00:17:10] Speaker B: There's no point in changing leave things as they are. The hero of the Lion King was scar. What's the point? What's the point? [00:17:22] Speaker A: What's the point? [00:17:23] Speaker B: What's huh? [00:17:25] Speaker A: What's, what's the point? [00:17:26] Speaker B: What's the point? What's the point? Drink another beer and smoke another joint. [00:17:34] Speaker A: What'S the point? What's the point? What's the point? What's the point? Yeah, everybody's so concerned with death while I'm over here trying smoke my meth go ahead and shoot it right in my veins, baby I don't know what. [00:17:47] Speaker B: You'Re saying what you're saying why does it matter? Why don't I just jump off of a building and splatter? Why don't I just serve up my head on a platter? Serve it to you? Cause nothing matters nothing matters at all. [00:18:00] Speaker A: I'm happy nothing matters at all and. [00:18:05] Speaker B: I'm having a ball, yeah, I am not that fist. Tales from a motherfucking nihilist yeah, I can get the gist nothing matters at all at the end of the list. [00:18:18] Speaker A: I would rather just stop trying I. [00:18:23] Speaker B: Would rather just stop trying ever since we were born we're slowly dying I would rather superstar, stop trying. [00:18:38] Speaker A: That'S a positive song for the kids out there. [00:18:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. That one goes out to the children. [00:18:43] Speaker A: Of New York City yeah, the children all over the world. Specifically in new York City. [00:18:51] Speaker B: This one goes out to children all over the world in New York City. [00:18:56] Speaker A: Uh, yeah. [00:18:58] Speaker B: No, that's why I don't really like movies that, like, the takeaway is that there is no point. [00:19:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:03] Speaker B: Always think, like, I don't really love a Coen brothers film. [00:19:05] Speaker A: Oh. [00:19:06] Speaker B: Because often the take at the end of those is like, well, everything was fucked up and people died. And that's, like, the whole take. [00:19:13] Speaker A: That's funny. You know, I don't. I don't get that from those movies. I get that these specific people fucked up, I don't get from those movies. Unless now maybe with a little bit of, like, thinking about it, but I'm thinking of, like, specifically. No country of old men. [00:19:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:26] Speaker A: It. No country for old Mandev was just that that particular situation was fucked. And it was trying to understand, like, a criminal's mindset. And I think it was saying, sometimes you can't. But that story closed. It wasn't like, well, that guy's still out there, and that guy could be anybody. I didn't feel like it was trying to say that. [00:19:48] Speaker B: Never seen it. [00:19:49] Speaker A: You never seen it. [00:19:50] Speaker B: I know. [00:19:50] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. Well, at the end, you'll love this part. Anton. Chigurh. [00:19:54] Speaker B: No, Anton. Wow. I love saying to someone, oh, you haven't seen it. Oh, you'll love this. Harry Potter wins. [00:20:06] Speaker A: He does. Believe it or not, he defeats the evil. The version that I saw is him and Voldemort end up working it out, and they open up a bookstore for other kids. [00:20:15] Speaker B: Sorry. You watched the porn parody? [00:20:19] Speaker A: That's how the porn ends. Yeah, the dicks make sense now. I was like, I thought there was wands in here. [00:20:24] Speaker B: No, no. They wave. [00:20:26] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. That's on me. Honestly. That's on me for not reading the. [00:20:29] Speaker B: Last comic book movie you've seen. [00:20:31] Speaker A: Well, of course. I mean, we're taping this at the beginning of August, and Deadpool and Wolverine just came out. [00:20:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:39] Speaker A: Which is like, everybody was looking toward this movie. I mean, they say it in the marketing. You know, Deadpool is Marvel. Jesus. He's trying to resurrect the whole Marvel universe. Metaphorically, of course. And does it do that? I don't know. Did it make a. A crap ton of money? Yes. [00:20:55] Speaker B: Oh, it did. [00:20:56] Speaker A: Do you know how much money it's made so far? It's been out for two weekends. Over $800 million. [00:21:03] Speaker B: How much did it spend? [00:21:04] Speaker A: That's worldwide. [00:21:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:05] Speaker A: I think the budget was something like 200 million. Wow. [00:21:08] Speaker B: So that's a win. [00:21:09] Speaker A: So it's doing pretty well. [00:21:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:12] Speaker A: People are seeing it. And I will say this. This is kind of a hot take. As someone who saw the movie twice. [00:21:17] Speaker B: Wow. [00:21:18] Speaker A: It's not a movie. It is not a movie. It's a whole lot of fun. I had so much fun watching it. [00:21:24] Speaker B: Is it a movie so much as, like, a long corporate advertisement? [00:21:31] Speaker A: You know, I couldn't even say corporate advertisement. [00:21:33] Speaker B: It's like a sketch. [00:21:35] Speaker A: It feels like a series of sketches. It almost feels like a series of, like, vignettes. There is a. There is a through line. I'm not trying to, like, say that I'm being somewhat facetious, but it's kind of like you. You know, beginning, middle, and end is, like, very, very loose. But you do have fun watching the adventures of Deadpool and Wolverine. You like seeing the banter. You like seeing the fun fight scenes. But, like, the central villain, weak. What's the motivation? Like, I do this a lot with my friends who love comic book movies and comic books and stuff too. As a lifelong comic book fan, I understand that the medium has inherent silliness. Right. I'm not asking for the sing sing of comic book movies. I understand it. But sometimes you want a little more meat on the bones. And I often ask myself, usually the marker of a good comic book movie versus a bad one is, what did the villain want? [00:22:27] Speaker B: Right? [00:22:28] Speaker A: What did that villain want? What did they want? [00:22:29] Speaker B: Right. [00:22:30] Speaker A: And why did they want that? [00:22:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:31] Speaker A: And this was one where I was like, what did that villain want? [00:22:35] Speaker B: Like, the whole movie. You're like, what did that dude want? [00:22:37] Speaker A: Well, it was kind of like, especially, you know, the third act in most movies is the climax is there. You gotta rush to solve whatever the problem is. And in Marvel movies, the formula is very much, and now the villain is about to get what they want. And I was just like, why do you want that? I don't understand. It just felt like, oh, we. Oh, shit. We're this part of the movie. We better get that villain to get what they want. But it's like, why do you want. [00:23:03] Speaker B: What do you like? [00:23:04] Speaker A: It's a movie I like, baby. I love this movie. It's a lot of fun, actually. I wouldn't say I love it. I really liked it. I don't want to go all the way with it, but I would definitely love it. [00:23:13] Speaker B: What's a movie you think had a really good villain want? I mean, obviously, Thanos is a good one. [00:23:17] Speaker A: I love the Thanos. Those are the two that I was gonna say, like, black Panther. [00:23:22] Speaker B: But what about, like, outside of the Marvel universe? [00:23:24] Speaker A: Outside of the Marvel Universe? Well, it's tough. Like, who's the actual villain? Oh, Hans Lander in the Christoph waltz character in Inglourious Basterds. Have you seen inglorious basterds, Philip? [00:23:36] Speaker B: I try not to watch adult movies. [00:23:38] Speaker A: You try not to. I was like, sing. Sings adult? No. [00:23:41] Speaker B: No. I don't know why. I just. I just haven't seen it. That's a. I think nazi hunting's a good idea. [00:23:46] Speaker A: I'd argue that inglourious bastard might be Tarantino's best. [00:23:51] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm not a big tarantino guy, either. We talked about this one time. I'm more of a spielberg than a tarantino. [00:23:55] Speaker A: That's right. We did. You like the hope and wonder? Well, man, that movie's good. [00:24:00] Speaker B: I think it was. Cause when I was 17, I watched what's the Tarantino film with where he cuts off the ear, cuts off Mister. [00:24:09] Speaker A: Pink, Mister reservoir dogs. [00:24:11] Speaker B: Reservoir dogs. I watched that, like, freshman year of college, I was sitting with six other dudes on this tiny couch in someone's dorm room, and they're all like, yeah, there's fucking rocks. And I'm like, this is. What is this? I just felt deeply, like, disassociated from the movie. I was like, this is really violent. And. And why does anybody wanna do any of these things? [00:24:33] Speaker A: To be fair, I'm not the biggest fan of reservoir dogs. I think that's a bad entry point into the Tarantino verse. I think pulp Fiction is the greatest. [00:24:41] Speaker B: Intro I've seen that, and I liked it. [00:24:43] Speaker A: Yeah, I think that's great. And I think that. I mean, inglourious basterds just has a lot. It's got an epic scale. There's amazing actors. There's Fassbender, Christoph Waltz. Brad Pitt's great in that movie. I like that. There's a lot of great stuff, but, yeah, Christopher Waltz is just a fantastic bad guy. He's a Nazi and he's the. So. It sounds so crazy to say, but people who've seen it know what I'm talking about. But he's incredibly charismatic, and you hate him. You hate him to your core, and you just can't wait to see his demise. [00:25:14] Speaker B: We don't get any charming nazis anymore. [00:25:16] Speaker A: I know. What's with that? [00:25:17] Speaker B: What's with that? [00:25:17] Speaker A: Come on. [00:25:18] Speaker B: Where are all the charming nazis? They're only in movies. [00:25:21] Speaker A: They're only in. Well, we're living on a west coast bubble. That's probably why. [00:25:26] Speaker B: We don't know. There's probably charming nazis all over the place. I'm probably friends with one or two. I just don't know it. [00:25:33] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. I'm sure. Like, is that in a movie yet? Like, a charming, extreme right wing guy who just wants to make America what it once was. Or if not even. [00:25:43] Speaker B: We're living through that, dude. An extremely charming is a charming. Maybe eight years ago. [00:25:49] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:25:49] Speaker B: Now he's more like incoherent. [00:25:52] Speaker A: He feels like such a. He's a very. Speaking of comic book villains, he's a comic book villain, man. It's outrageous. Yeah, it never, he never shocks me anymore. [00:26:03] Speaker B: I know. Isn't it crazy, our capacity to be shocked? [00:26:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:06] Speaker B: We haven't seen each other in so long. [00:26:09] Speaker A: Yeah. There's been a lot that went down. [00:26:13] Speaker B: Political assassination on the president. New Democrats attempt. [00:26:16] Speaker A: Attempted. [00:26:17] Speaker B: Political assassination attempt on the president. What did I say? [00:26:19] Speaker A: You just said assassination. Oh, you gotta throw an attempt in there. Cause you're right, they were not successful. [00:26:27] Speaker B: You're right. Political assassination attempt on the former president. [00:26:31] Speaker A: Yeah. And he had that really rocking rapping on his ear. Yeah. [00:26:38] Speaker B: And then it turned out it wasn't the bullet. It was like a little piece of shrapnel or something. [00:26:41] Speaker A: I mean, I've heard. I've also heard there's so many things going down. [00:26:45] Speaker B: Crazy. [00:26:45] Speaker A: I heard that the FBI confirmed that it was a billet. A billet? A billet. It was a billet. [00:26:51] Speaker B: Yeah, I've heard all sorts of crazy stuff about it. [00:26:53] Speaker A: What did you hear? [00:26:54] Speaker B: Oh, I've heard, like, all sorts of. Of conspiracies about the Trump assassination attempt. [00:26:57] Speaker A: I've heard some crazy stuff about the attempt myself. [00:27:00] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Like, I heard the guy that did it was a ghost. He came back from the grave to do the most. I heard him in the underworld boast. I nearly hit the president and made him toast. [00:27:15] Speaker A: Wow. I heard that he was an alien. Not the kind from Mexico, but space, my friend. The kind that you, you would find on Mars. The kind of alien that spits hard bars. [00:27:28] Speaker B: Spits hard bars. Yeah, you know, he got it. Yeah, he straight up had it in a locket. All the things he was gonna say. Yeah. You won't regret it when you hear all the crazy things that I researched on Reddit. I heard that he. No clothes. The guy that shot him. No clothes. [00:27:48] Speaker A: I heard that that guy only had two toes. The guy that shot him. Yeah, only two toes. [00:27:55] Speaker B: Only two toes. One on each foot. Big toe. [00:28:01] Speaker A: Big toe. [00:28:01] Speaker B: Now you know. Now you know where these conspiracies go. Hot damn. When you find out Uncle Sam was the one behind this, you'll be like, God damn. [00:28:12] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. I be like, goddamn. Oh, I heard the attempted shooter with somebody who always spits bad slurs. Also that he was a time trap. [00:28:24] Speaker B: Butler straight from 1841 with a sharp shooter. Yeah, that's what I heard. That's what I heard. [00:28:35] Speaker A: The guy that shot him was having too much fun. The guy that shot him actually shot him with the laser gun. [00:28:41] Speaker B: The guy that shot him actually shot him with a Peabody award. [00:28:59] Speaker A: Yo. But the. But the truth, son, will actually make you giggle. Not the right or the left. Who shot him was from the middle. [00:29:07] Speaker B: From the middle, yeah. Straight up in bliss. He got shot by a motherfucking centrist. But only if he'd had center aim would we be changing the entire political game. But instead, he hit the right. The right side of his head was what he liked. [00:29:28] Speaker A: Watch out for roofs, son. [00:29:31] Speaker B: Yeah. President Trump is now deeply afraid of. [00:29:33] Speaker A: Roofs, as he should be. They're scary. Have you ever seen a roof collapse? That shit is terrifying. [00:29:41] Speaker B: Yeah. Wild. How much news has happened since last I saw you, man? [00:29:46] Speaker A: I mean, that whole attempt, and I'll admit I know it's not politically correct to say, and now I feel a little bit different. When it first happened, I was like, this is a setup. This was a setup. And I know both sides, right and left, thought it was a setup, but for different reasons. [00:30:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Psyop. [00:30:01] Speaker A: Yeah. But now I'm kind of thinking, like, I don't know, I think that actually happened now. [00:30:05] Speaker B: I think it 100% happened. Yeah, I think you would. I. Yeah, I understand why people thought it was a setup because it was like, it happened really fast. And there was that moment when he was like, yeah. Like, it just seemed like he was a little too cool under pressure. It was a lot too, like, photo op. But I just think Trump's cool, dude. [00:30:24] Speaker A: Man. Okay, strike that from the record. [00:30:27] Speaker B: He's so cool, dude. [00:30:28] Speaker A: Trump's fucking awesome. I mean, he's cool. I mean, he's, like, chill. [00:30:31] Speaker B: He's just so chill. [00:30:32] Speaker A: He's got, like, mad aura, you know. [00:30:36] Speaker B: I can't keep up. Plus 1000 aura. [00:30:38] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, sigma's. [00:30:39] Speaker B: Fuck. [00:30:40] Speaker A: Actually, he's skippity toilet, that trump. There's like, people are like, man, they're old, ancient. They don't get it. Yeah, I thought that was crazy. But how everything kind of developed also made me feel like, oh, I mean, post assassination attempt was like, I think this was real. But I will say I thought it was very hilarious how, like, the ear. [00:31:03] Speaker B: Wrapping became like a meme or the people were doing it. [00:31:07] Speaker A: People were doing it to themselves. I was like, wow, this is like. Like, you can't write this stuff. Like, people would see this. People are gonna look back in history books and be like, for real? [00:31:15] Speaker B: Like, yeah, that was weird. [00:31:17] Speaker A: And when Hulk Hogan spoke at the RNC, did you see this? [00:31:21] Speaker B: Hulk Hogan. [00:31:22] Speaker A: Hulk Hogan, like the former pro wrestler. [00:31:25] Speaker B: Pro wrestler. [00:31:26] Speaker A: You missed this. Are you fucking with me? [00:31:28] Speaker B: No, I'm not fucking with you. Can you sort of describe? [00:31:31] Speaker A: Okay, you're fucking. [00:31:32] Speaker B: I'm not, I'm not. I swear I'm not. [00:31:34] Speaker A: But he was just like, the next president is gonna be my hero. My best friend. Oh, President Trump. But he like rips his shirt like it used to in wrestling promos from the eighties. It was hilarious. It felt like a bit. It was outrageous. [00:31:50] Speaker B: That's crazy. [00:31:51] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, you gotta look up clips. It's unreal. [00:31:57] Speaker B: Honestly though, you know what the most interesting upcoming thing has been is JD fans. [00:32:03] Speaker A: Oh, man. Yeah, he's been making fans left and right. [00:32:06] Speaker B: Yeah, with the fucking. [00:32:07] Speaker A: Do you know about the cat thing? [00:32:08] Speaker B: The couch? [00:32:09] Speaker A: Oh, the couch. [00:32:10] Speaker B: I. You don't know about JD Vance and the couch? [00:32:14] Speaker A: I don't think I do. Oh, my God. [00:32:17] Speaker B: There's a story around town about a man named JD Vance. Apparently the man likes to take off his pants and get down all around town with a couch. Oh, yeah. Likes to use his penis and his mouth. JD Vance fucked the couch. He fucked the couch.

Cause there are couches on the floor and they say, we don't want anymore. [00:35:12] Speaker A: JB is filled with joy. But you won't see JD near a lazy boy. He's a straight man. [00:35:21] Speaker B: He's gotta be active. Active on the couch. He says, let me use my dick and your couch pussy. And also my mouth. [00:35:30] Speaker A: Fuck the couch.

And it's so weird and specific, but it's so funny. And I don't feel that bad because he's so weird. And he's, like, politically. I mean, he's just an incredibly intolerant person. I don't feel that bad about, like, propagating a rumor about a fucking fascist. You know what I mean? [00:36:01] Speaker A: Fair enough. Fair enough. And, hey, it made a hell of a song. Some would say the song to close out the summer. [00:36:08] Speaker B: Perfect timing. [00:36:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:09] Speaker B: Well, good night, everyone. [00:36:10] Speaker A: Thank you, guys. [00:36:11] Speaker B: When you look at your couch tonight, keep away from those sinful thoughts. [00:36:15] Speaker A: Ooh. And try to stay away from that couch's eyes. Bye bye, JD. Fuck the couch. [00:36:25] Speaker B: JD. [00:36:25] Speaker A: Fuck the couch. [00:36:29] Speaker B: Wow. All right, I'll stop this down.
