 Tits in the lips. Teeth. No, I said tits. You said tip of the tits. Tip of the, the tasty tip of the tits. Sounds like a, sounds like a restaurant or bar like in a coastal getaway. Welcome to, or somewhere in Ireland. Welcome to tip of the tits. Welcome to the tasty tip of the tits. Hey, welcome back to our stupid right seats of Corbin. Hey, hey, how you doing? Welcome to tip of the tits. Ah! Sorry, the door was open. So I had to go. Come on in for a cold one and you'll be nipping. I love this. Set you up for a great idea. Tip of the tits. It's a new business. New business venture. Somebody open that in Ireland. Take it up with Scott. That's right. Yes. Oh my goodness. We should open it in Boston. They would probably do really well in there. See you at tip of the tits. I've really liked that a lot. We're already off the rails, everybody. Today we're doing a movie review. Oh yeah. Did you watch a movie? I did. I've watched several. I don't know if it was the one we were supposed to review. Let's just see if we can. Well, just see. I bet it'll work. Whatever movie I saw. I could just transfer the rating. You saw Schindler's List. I saw Snow Dogs. It'll be fine. Perfect. Same rating. Anyways, I don't know why today we're already off the rails. It's the first video of the day. But we saw the new 2022 film, Netflix film, Far. Not to be confused with Thor. One letter makes a huge difference. It's really true. People would be shocked to tune into Thor and watch this and vice versa. I was like, Anil Kapoor is playing Thor. That would work. That's a bit of a stretch, but I believe it. I believe it. He is worthy of the hammer. He is. Anyways, but yeah, it's the new 2022 film directed and written, the screenplay by Raj Singh Chowri, who we know from a couple of other things. And he's also worked with Anirag quite a bit. Anirag did do the dialogue for this, our Dost Nanbar. Don't know. All of the above. Produced and starring both Anil Kapoor and his son. Say his name. Forgive me if this is mispronounced, but I believe his name is Hoshwadan. Yeah, and so it's starring both of them. And so if you're not a fan of nepotism, leave now. Yep. Also just don't exist, because why would you even be here for any length of time? Because you would know very quickly that we have zero problem with nepotism, so. Unless you suck. Yeah, unless you suck, then there's a problem. We don't want people working just because they're related, but thankfully, a lot of the time, they do good jobs. Anyways, but yeah, it just came out on Netflix. So if you haven't watched it, go watch it and come back. It's only, I think, an hour 40. I think something like that. For an Indian film, it's ridiculously short. And this will be non-spoiler. And then when we get into spoilers, since it's a new film, we'll do mostly non-spoiler, and then if we wanna get into some spoilers, we'll let you know beforehand. Rick, your initial thoughts, please. Yeah, my initial thoughts, I'm gonna do everything, obviously, by the rating system that I'm so happy I have finally come up with, where I measure the story, the performances and the technicalities by five areas, whether they're entertaining and engaging, if it's excellent, educational, enlightening, and essential. Basically, that all comes out to whether it gets five stars, which most people are accustomed to that rating system. I like that as the rating system. And I will go into all the details, but this is four out of five for me. I thought this was, the only reason it's not a five out of five is because for something to have that fifth star, the story, the performance, and the technicality, all have to be something I consider to be so essential that they need to be remembered decades from now. And while I think people could easily remember this film, and there may be people who feel that way about it, for me, it just doesn't have that, there's a couple of things for it that just don't make it reach, but come on. I'm talking about one of the all-time greatest films of all time when I'm getting into five stars. So to give something a four out of five means, see it, everybody else should see it. There's just mostly great praise for this movie. That's one of the reasons I don't like the five star system, because a good film can have three stars. Exactly. And I'm like, that just seems too love for a good film. I gave the Northman three stars and I was like, everybody should go see it. That's why I just, I've never been a fan of the five star, because I'm like three stars seems too low, but you can give a good film three stars. Sure can. It just, yeah. But anyways, I don't really grade films, but yeah, I definitely enjoyed this film. It's, in terms of Netflix in America, they're not doing well right now. In terms of Netflix and Amazon, in terms of Indian content, they're doing extremely well right now. I really hope Indians here will tune into this just because first of all, they should. There's so much to praise about it artistically and Netflix really needs a win. And this, well they're winning in India for sure. Yeah, they really are, but I mean here in the States. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, we'll get into all of it. Just direction, score, acting, everything. But we always start with acting, that's our favorite part. So let's just get in. We don't get to talk about Anil Kapoor enough, even though he's one of the first actors we ever saw from India because of, you know, Slumdog right here. Slumdog. And wasn't he in, Pie? No, recent thing. Yeah, he was. He's in Mission Impossible. That's right, that's what it was. Yeah. Mission Impossible, I haven't seen it, but I heard he's in it, right? And he does a great, he plays a funny character. And obviously we've seen some of his classes of Mr. India and other things like that, but he's one of the actors that I think is criminally underrated by us, not because anything he's done is just we haven't seen enough of his work. No, and anything of his we've seen, we've liked. But yeah, I thought he did a really good job in this. Yeah. It was so different from everything else I've ever seen him in. It was really gritty, really grounded. And I love him for going out, because he's the producer on this. So he's the, I mean, obviously this is the director's vision, but he's like, I'm gonna put my face on this. I'm gonna put my money behind this. I really believe in this story. And I love that. I do too. And I think he did a really good job at kind of show, he had a really complex character as well, because obviously he was this kind of hardened cop, but that obviously loves his family. I don't think he's a full on corrupt cop and he didn't full on go the route of going into politics. And so I think he kind of had a very, I'm sorry, I'm not meaning to get into spoilers here and that's not really a spoiler, but yeah, he had, I think a very kind of interesting, complex character. And I thought he played it beautifully. I did too. I thought he was consistent throughout. I could see the amount of care that he had for the role. If he didn't, I would be shocked, because I didn't sense there was any moment where he was phoning it in. I felt like he was fully invested into this and obviously he is as a producer pun intended. He was fully invested. But like we said, when we watched the trailer, the fact that they were producing and the fact that they were both starring in this made us believe that this was kind of a passion project for them and it showed in the performances. And he's, you could do the role different with a different actor, which is the beauty of the art form, but you couldn't do it better. Yeah. I thought he did a great job. Yeah, as well as his son. And his son. Same thing. CVS, stop calling me. Really? I don't need my plan B right now. We're back. And the boosting, you know, grief. I don't need my plan B. Might not be able to get it, kids. Anyway, that's all of this California, so we're good. Yeah, we're fine here. But anyways, his son, who we have not seen, I don't believe in anything. No, no. I know he's done some stuff in terms of, that's not him, sorry. They're billing, it's weird. My goodness, it is very strange. This one right here, I know a lot of people. Why don't they do it according to the star meter on everything? Cause that's what that's typically done. Anyway. Say this name? Yeah, Merza's Lady. No, no. And then Bovish Joshi Superhero. We've reacted to the trailer. AK versus AK. Yeah, yeah, he's in that, which we wanted to see. We really need to see. I know, we really want to. Maybe that would be a good one for a watch along. That would be, I think that would be a great watch. Yeah, yeah. Anyways, but yeah, I know he's in that one. A lot of people say it's really good, so you guys can let us know, but he did it. I thought it, a really, really good job. Me too. It's very subtle. Yep, cause a lot of times, different, I think Ryan Gosling does this a lot in terms of being kind of like an actor who doesn't say a lot on screen, but you can tell there's a lot going on behind his eyes. Correct. Like Drive was one of those. Yeah. I think in La La Land, to some extent. Hardy's that way too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They don't say a lot on screen, but they convey a lot with their body and that you just, you could tell in their eyes there's a lot going on. He gave a, I equated a lot to Ryan Gosling's style of performance in terms of powerful, but very subdued. The great thing about him, like his dad, and like everybody, we'll talk about the whole cast and the casting job that was done. What a good product of nepotism, by the way. But yeah, and it's just one of those things of, we could bang on that drum all day. We don't care. In fact, there's so many positives to being related to somebody in the industry that gives you a step ahead. Who tried somebody in this? Yeah, it gives you a step ahead on so many levels that if somebody's around it and grew up around it and loved it and wants to do it, as long as they can actually bring it. It's like people in sports, if you can bring it to the game and play, play, who cares who your mom or dad are? And he can absolutely play. This made me want to know more about him. Yeah, he was probably, there was a bunch of strong performances, but I think he was the strongest. Well, his has the most to risk in that regard. Because he- Because obviously there was a lot that would not get him anything away. Yeah, a lot. And there's, if there was any position, especially for a young actor, like I remember when we watched Shashant's first film, it's so easy to try to impress. And that's the last thing you need to do is an actor. So many actors lose parts because when they audition, they're desperate. And it's seen. And when you get your first big role, if you're desperate, you'll fall into the traps of overperforming, indicating being in your head. And I saw none of that. And I promise he felt- He felt very Shashant performance. It was a very Shashant level of groundedness, of charisma, vulnerability and strength combined because he seemed, And what I also loved something in the story, which is we'll get into greater detail in the spoiler section, was how much mystery there was about pretty much everybody for the, at least for the full first act and most of the second act. So, but the rest of the cast- Her- Oh my goodness. She was wonderful. She was wonderful. And I'm incredible. What was her name? I wish I had written it down because I wanted to remember it. Because it did a terrible job here with- I know, with the photos and stuff. I think it's her. Na-vi- Say your name? Nevadita Bhattacharya. If that was the main girl, please let us know. Does that name ring a bell, babe? Okay. Yeah, that's why it perched up your ears. But everybody, everybody was great. And our guy that we've seen before- Yeah, from Sacred Games. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was Sartaj's buddy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He did really well. All the, all the, every supporting character- How late? Oh, was it her? Yes, I could tell by the small- It is. Isn't that her? Yeah, we've seen her before. The wife. She had this dongle. Oh, yeah, she was a kid. She was a kid. And Ludo. Fatima Sana Shake. Suggs of Hindustan. Yeah. That's the one we need to see. Fatima Sana Shake. Yeah, we've seen her before. And it's no shock. I didn't, it didn't click at the time, but it's no shock. Because every single time we see her, whether it was in dongle, Ludo, and I think something else, we always rave about her. And you can always forgive us for the dongle one because they were, the girls were so much younger in dongle. I always forgive. But do me a favor, I want to give a- She's in modern love. Oh, that'd be cool. Oh, great. That'd be good. Wonderful. We may have, no, I don't think we noticed that. But do me a favor, go to the casting. Uh-huh. Just for the film in general. Where are you? There you are. So I just wanted to give a shout out to Gautam Kishan Chandani. Hmm. I thought the casting uniformly across the board, everybody was perfect. Yeah. They changed a single role. Everybody did a great job. There was no weak performance in this, which is always wonderful, because sometimes you'd be like, oh yeah, there was some supporting characters that were blah, blah, blah, there weren't any. No. Every performance was strong. And there's stuff about story and the technical that I want to talk about in the spoiler section. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But on that, I thought from the very start, the cinematography in this was just impeccable. Impeccable. It was gorgeous. It was beautiful to look at, not in like a Sanjali Bansali way, but in a reality, not on your own gritty way, but a kind of, there's a lot of films that are this style. And it was very, I saw a lot of odes to different Westerns. Yes. And even Sholay. Yeah. I saw obviously that one, they even said Basanti in it. And then I think there was a shot that I think was almost shot for shot. A Sholay. A frame replication from Sholay. You guys can let me know. Like a tip of the cap kind of thing. The ones with like, there was rocks in the background. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then there was like a bunch of the men who were standing in the rocks and it was very reminiscent of a Sholay. So you guys can tell me. Yeah. And there was a shot that, where the framing on the shot was so pretty, but it was again an understated beauty. And throughout the other thing, the whole team from the color correction and the lighting people making a uniformed palette throughout that carried the same quality of look that is on the poster. There's a uniformity to the trailer, the poster in the film of visual aesthetic that's extremely difficult to maintain unless you have people at a high level of capacity. And this film's got that. As well as I thought the score was perfectly matched to the visual field. And it was a lot of, it was a very, cause they were going for like a Western vibe. Right. But without being too spaghetti Western. Yeah, yeah. It definitely wasn't like a spaghetti Western. Not at all. With the whistles in the background and some of the stuff. It could have been hokey. Yeah, it could. Very well. It could have been really bad. But once again, tip of the hat to Raj Singh. Yeah. Say his last name. Raj Singh Chaudhry. We've seen him a few times in terms of his directing, I think, but we've definitely seen him in writing cause he does work with Anya Ragh a lot. Yeah. And that goes without saying it, when you watch this, you will instantly recognize two things. This is the kind of film that Anya Ragh loves both to watch and to create and that the dialogue shows that it's written by somebody who knows how to write scripted dialogue. Yeah. It's incredibly well written. Yeah, in terms of the dialogue, that's one of my, I've always said, I think that's, I think Anya Ragh's talented in many respects. I think his strongest strength is dialogue writing. I always has been. I agree with you. He is, he's the kind of writer that an actor is like, please let me put those words in my mouth because every one of them will feel believable. Yeah. And then obviously Raj, who directed and wrote the entire screenplay and that was the film. It's a great story. I thought he did a really good job at making everything believable, everything like, everything that was like a natural step progression. Also making it short, which I think it actually could have been a little longer even. And you could have gotten a little more character development. Could have been. Nothing, no, it was wrong with the way it was done. Not at all. Actually I appreciate Indian artist not making every film two and a half hours when it doesn't need to be. And so I thought he did a really phenomenal job at one, not giving a flying shit about censor boards and what people think about. Don't give it away though. About gore. There's. Yeah, you need to know. Before you watch it. There's some good gore in this. Before you watch it. I love saying things like this because I said this in my review for this film that's out right now here called Happening. Which if you can see that anywhere, please see this film happening. I don't think it's out most places right now. Yeah, I know it's tough and it's just, LA gets stuff first a lot of the time, but hopefully it'll go everywhere. But I said this in that review. This, like that, for similar reasons, is this is for the big kids. This is for a mature audience member. This is for somebody who can handle gore and this is for somebody who can handle just open communication at an adult level. This would probably, in America, this would be given a rated R. So you just need to know that going in. For violence. This is not a kid's story at all. No. No, this is for the adults. No, no, no, no. At every level. But I don't just mean that in the maturity level. I mean that in terms of intellectually. Emotional IQ. This is a film that a lot of people might not stick through because they just, it'll be beyond them to understand what's being conveyed. Shout out to him in terms of showing that. And to the effects because all of it was great. Incredibly good. And it looked real. Incredibly good. Let's go into spoilers right now. So please do go watch it. It's only an hour, 40 minutes. It's gonna be a quick watch. It deserves watching. You're gonna enjoy it unless you don't really like gore but I think you'll still enjoy it. Even then, someone like, cause Andrani's not a big fan of gore. She didn't watch it with me but she would enjoy it. There are moments she'd turn away. And that's what she does. She just turns away from the gore and then comes right back and keeps watching. So anyways. Go watch it. We're gonna get to some spoilers. Spoilers. So first of all, if you're wondering if the gore was gratuitous, it may be gratuitous for someone's personal sensitivities but when it comes to story, you need to measure the gore based on the story being told and whether or not either the violence or the gore or the nudity is being done for a voyeuristic viewpoint to cause people to say, ooh, did you see versus like I think in here, you need to see that stuff. Oh yeah. It's a really important part of the story. Oh, very. Yeah. Obviously, once again, we're in spoilers but yeah, for many different reasons for obviously why he's doing everything he's doing. And also, I loved his whole, our lead here. Sorry, I don't, I can't say that name. I know it's harsh for them. Harsh for them. I hope that's correct. And how different his character was. It was, he's so obvious, and you knew you kind of figured something like this was going on. I was like, why is he doing this? Like, is he just an assassin? Is he just- Right. What is going on here? Did he take his drugs? Yeah. But then obviously you figure out why and you're like, okay, I get it. You're right. Right. I understand. I totally understand. But he's so gruesome obviously in getting justice or whatever he revenge or whatever, right? Yes. But then he's so tender with her. And like, obviously, which was a great scene, I feel like, when she finally came in the room. Yeah. And it was real sad to see what she did right away. She was just like- Yeah, just lay down and roll it up. Only thing she's ever known is- That's intimacy in her life. Yes. Yeah. Okay, I want to have sex with, this is how you do it, right? Right. And it was a very tender, sweet, like legit making love scene. Yeah. And he was very sweet. They just held each other. Yeah. And the next scene, he's like cutting off somebody's goddamn finger. Yeah. And I loved it. And the makeup crew and visual effects people, it was flawless. It looked like fingers are getting chopped off. It looked like nails are getting nailed into feet. Oh, man. And I got to also, that burn was spectacular because you couldn't really tell that any gel was put on those bare feet. That was a real burn. And it looked, and you only saw partial, it was just the burn part was an incredibly well done effect and stunt. A lot of, I don't, I'm assuming Anil and Baby Kapoor. Baby Kapoor. Baby Kapoor. Put a good amount of money behind this or it was Netflix, I don't know, because a lot of the VFX were really, really good. I can't imagine why you wouldn't at- Not just that, but like some of the animals as well. Absolutely. I thought it was a really creative time lapse thing what they did with the bison. I agree. And I think it was, when you're someone of the stature and the longevity of Anil Kapoor, it speaks volumes to the quality of this film that he has put his name and his money into as well as his performance. That it speaks to the fact that he's an artist. He's not just a movie star. That he's someone who wants to make, and that they've got someone like an Anya Ragh to write the dialogue. And I'm sure if we looked at the credits of everybody on this team, these are people with credits that show a capacity for artistic excellence, and it shows in the final product. And it just speaks volumes that he's doing a film that is of this caliber at all levels because there was nothing wrong with Anya. You can't find flaws in the technicalities anywhere. The only place I found, and it's not even a flaw, the only reason this doesn't get five for me is the fact that there was that extra element of essentialness that I just didn't think it carried for a film to be remembered 50 years from now, not that it couldn't be. But I also didn't think if that was gonna change anything. And I'd love to know Anya Ragh's take on this. I thought the film was gonna end when the camera was above and we saw the strewn dead men. That said a lot. And then when it said six months later, my first thought was Corbin's gonna hate that. And then my next thought was as well-written as that was, because it was very well-written, it seemed to be unnecessary because we've already got that message. His final monologue was almost, I won't say it was a spoon feed, but it kind of was. I thought it was a superfluous addendum that didn't necessarily need to be there. What did you think? Yeah, I never liked it. It was such an a brilliant drone shot. That drone shot and the fade to black. And the fact that shout out to Raj and his cinematographer, oh yeah, once again, cinematographer is a female here, did a phenomenal job. Phenomenal dog. We should talk about cinematography. Shreya Dev. I think it's Doob. Doob, forgive me if we mispronounced that. Phenomenal job. Great cinematography. In your camera work. And lens selection, by the way. You did some shots where you didn't need to use a particular lens and you did it just for a particular look. Really good calls. She did a great job. I would love to see more of her because I think that was one of the, there was a lot of strong stuff for this film. I think the cinematography was one of the strongest elements of it. Agreed, agreed. But the last drone shot, the setup of it was brilliant. Brilliant. The fact that everybody was like a stage and he just revealed more and more and more and it was such a. The decimation. Yeah, it's such a strong statement. I never like it when films don't end on the strongest possible statement. I gotta tell you that that. And it was, go ahead. No, no, no, what? It was what? No, I was saying it wasn't the worst six months later that I've ever seen. I don't think it ruined anything. Not exactly, it's not a flaw. No, but I always prefer ending a film on the strongest possible moment. I might have given it four and a half. I could have come closer to giving it five because when I thought that was the ending, I got the message that Anil just said at the end. And I'm like, yeah, you just told me that in the past hour and 40 minutes. Because that final shot showed you everything he was saying about vengeance is a double-edged sword. And ultimately in the end, when you take vengeance, all you leave behind is there's no justice. It's just decimation. It definitely wasn't. It was shown. And like I said, it wasn't the worst ending I've ever seen. No, because it was a beautiful model. Yeah, it was good. And him picking up the girls and everything was nice and all that kind of stuff. And you kind of showed that she was pregnant. She wasn't. And they drove off into the sunset. And so I get all that. It's just my personal preference is always gonna be ending on, and that was such a strong shot and message of that shot, of the drone shot. Difference between high-level cinema versus like a movie end. I would have preferred that. But that's again, that's not a flaw. It's just a preference. That's probably my biggest gripe with the film. Me too. Me too. It's just that. And it's not that big of a gripe. Yeah, not at all. I mean, that's why it's really, I just, I love the movie. I would watch it again in a heartbeat. I would recommend it to people. I think people are looking for a film to watch this weekend. And I think it's, I'm glad, even though I think it would have been cool to see it in theaters because I think a lot of these shots would have been even better. Everything on big screen is better, yeah. It would have been even better. But the fact that smaller films like this get a life on OTT is a wonderful thing. And that they get a life away from the censorship. Yeah. Because this would be, the artistry in this would be blasphemed with censorship. If they blurred out something or if they didn't show the finger literally being chopped off or broken and hanging. That was a great one. Or the nails, literally, it was like the... The nail on the feet. The nail on the feet of the, why am I feeling it? Our buddy from Sacred Games. No, no, no. The Jesus. Oh, Passion of the Christ. Thank you. I don't know why I'm forgetting about the film. Like it was like, oh, this is like a crucifixion moment here. Yeah, and even the stationary visual effects of with the makeup crew when he was pouring the liquor down there, the open wounds on his back. The open wound was great. And the continuity of woundedness. Everybody did a spectacular, spectacular job. Yeah, I'm very glad it turned out as well as the trailer came out. And so hats off to Raj, sing Chuck, Chuck. Chaudhry. Chaudhry. You can just call you Raj. Shout out to Raj for making such a quality film. Cause I think it ultimately falls on him. The fact that everything was such high quality. Director's call, man. He's like, okay, I want On Your Rock for the writing. I want Shreya for cinematography. I want these actors. I want blah, blah, blah, blah. It's him and a nil. They're the ones. And obviously his son, because he's a producer as well. And I bet he had a lot of say being a producer. But I bet Papa's really proud of his son. This is a film that if you were part of it, you have a lot to be proud of. Oh, yeah, I would have loved to. It's certain films as an actor, if you're not always proud of it. Obviously, sometimes you do it for the money. Obviously, Nawaz, we know that film with Tiger was apparently just God awful. But it was like, hopefully he got his money, right? Yeah, got paid well. But those are the ones you see Nawaz going out and promoting all the time. Yeah. You see him promoting. And then the sad, we've talked about this. The sad aspect where you do something that on page was great and set, felt wonderful. And then in the final product, you're like, I think I'm gonna go home now. This is one of the ones, like if I was involved, I would've been very excited to promote this. So excited. And get everybody to go see and get their feedback from. So you should all be very, very proud. Hopefully, because this is the one thing that's frustrating, especially with you. It's kind of, I've been told it's popular to kind of shit on Bollywood, right? Right. It's the popular thing. Of course. For the longest time. Right. But when they come out with stuff like, but I do this, Ludo, or people don't. Mimi. Yeah, Mimi. They don't support those ones. And then they say they don't do anything original. Yeah. And they're doing all this stuff. It's because too often, people are more interested in the status of their stars or the predominance of their industry. Or what the mytho makes. Yeah, or the box office. Which is dumb. When all of those are nowhere near as important and shouldn't even be in the same conversation as the artistry, period. Or other industries like the last farmer. Yeah. Should've made a ton of money. Yes. All that other stuff is just bullshit comparatively. But anyways, fantastic film. Great movie. I hope you're still not here if you haven't seen it. Let us know what you thought about the film if you have watched it and what should be the next film we should watch. From everybody who's involved. From everybody. Down below.
