For more... Juicy! Goddamn! It's so juicy. You didn't watch the movie with us. How dare you? So today, finally, finally, finally, we are reviewing Gangs of Waspher. Which we've been told to watch since we started reacting, I think. Like 500 other things. It was with that and Bahubali, I think, were like the first... It was true. Like they were like, oh you gotta watch it, it's supposed to be the basic thing in the world! And so we did finally watch it. Well, Rick watched it a while ago, he's an idiot though. And then now he re-watched it, so he's seen it twice. Well, this is the first part, obviously. Yeah, there's two parts. There's two parts, we haven't seen the second part. That would be stupid to watch the second part first. We only do the trailers. That would be funny. But obviously... This is gonna be a obviously spoiler review. Yeah, if you haven't seen Gangs of Waspher... Go away, go away and watch it. So, Gangs of Waspher. Is there a synopsis? Here, go ahead. Yes. A clash between Sultan and Shahid Khan leads to the expulsion of Khan from Waspher and ignites a deadly blood feud spanning three generations. Yes. Blood feud. And it's the... Blood feud. Director is a... Blood feud captain. Anurag Kashyap. Yes. Anurag Kashyap, which I believe... Anurag Kashyap, I hope, that's right. Someone said he was the same director of Sacred Games. SAKRAGAMS! That could be wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me. It would show on his IMDb page. I know. Which stands for Internet Movie Database. But the shooting styles were very, very similar. It was, especially depending on what gun they used. Oh, yeah. The shooting stuff. Are you going to review this movie or do you just keep both being an idiot? Yes. So, you started the film opened up with... Lots of shooting. Lots and lots of shooting. Yeah. And it did have a very... Godfather feel to it. Yes, throughout all. Yeah. I mean, I guess it's a gang slash mafia thing. Yeah, but it doesn't necessarily mean... KFG is a gang mafia thing. That's true. It doesn't feel like a Godfather. No, it doesn't. This one was... Who knows if it was inspired by the Godfather, but it had a very Godfather feel to it. It felt a lot like it. It felt like a mix. It leaned heavily into Scorsese territory. Yes. With Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather. Yes. In there. And so, you followed... Well, you followed a lot of people. A lot of stories. A lot of people. Which is probably the most confusing... Like, first almost half, I kept struggling to keep up. I asked... Because I was like... I was like, Okay, we got this guy. And kill him off. And I was like, Okay. Right. Next guy. Right. Oh, kill him off. Okay. Okay. Where's Noazen and Sineke? He's not in this movie. I thought he was in this movie. I know. You're waiting and I forgot he was in it. Yeah. And then when he popped up, I'm like, Hey! Where's Noazen and Sineke? And then there was Big B in the movie theater. I'm like, Oh, I'm so excited. That was actually really cool. That was cool. I enjoyed that. I did too. But yeah, so that was, I think, one of the... I enjoyed the film, especially towards the end, when I started to more understand the film. But it's like The Godfather. The Godfather is not easy to understand. No. First go. It's true, because I think... I've seen The Godfather so many times now. It's second nature. See girl with it, obviously. Right. And I think for anybody approaching The Godfather, it would be the first jump into it. In fact, I should ask Harrell, because I introduced him to The Godfather. He hadn't seen it. And I think it would be... Who's with what? Family. Yes. Okay, there's Michael, and there's Vito, and there's Suddy, and there's Fredo, and there's that. And so I didn't penalize the film for that, because... No. One, because it's a very complicated story. You've got people getting killed off. You've got different spans of generations. Right. And you have to tell those generations to understand the motivations for people in the current generation. Yes. And you have to cover the politics and the stuff going on prior. There's a lot around it. So you've got that, and then we also had to read it through subtitles. Right. So that's even harder to keep up, because you can't just watch the screen and what's going on. You have to read it. Right. So that's difficult. But towards the end, especially when Noah's at Ensidiki, finally came, he's just so captivating. Yeah, he really is. He's so good. His eyes. Mm-hmm. He has great eyes. Yes, he does. And he doesn't have to do a lot to convey. Right. He's very... Yeah. And this one, very much. In fact, that moment when, I forgot his name, but the guy who sells the guns to them comes back and he's just watching him with the gun and he sees the initials on the handle again. Mm-hmm. And he's just watching him with the gun. That whole moment, and when he goes... Yeah. Mm-hmm. Very, very weighty... The way he interacted with women, too, was very... Very... Very Michael Corleog. Yes. Yep. Yes. And so I feel like he's the Michael Corleog of this film. 100%. And I'm guessing that's why, just like Godfather II, he's the main star of... It'll be Michael Corleog's story. Yeah. This was Vito's story and that medal. I'm guessing. So I'm guessing I could be totally and completely and utterly wrong, but I think this was inspired by that Godfather film. Not... It's not a retelling of it, obviously. Of course not. It's a completely different story. Totally different story. But it had a ton of elements so I wouldn't be surprised like this director was inspired by those films. Even the last sequence where he's at the gas station and he's waiting there and they pull up, that was very reminiscent of when Sonny pulls up to the toll booth and the Godfather and the toll booth guy drops his tool and he comes down and then the guys pop up and they just riddle him with bullets. Yeah. Reminded me completely of that. Although... Which is... He alive? That's the question. Sonny's clearly dead. They come out, they stand over Sonny and go... So he's gone and the Godfather... What happened to... Yeah, we don't... I mean, I was kind of mad that he got out of the car. I was too. I was like, come on, you didn't survive that, man. Yeah. They were literally at the window going pop, pop, pop, right. Pop, pop, right. They can't miss that. Right, exactly. And one went in his head. Right. So... So I'm hoping he is dead. I am too. And that was just like... That was like chicken with his head cut off kind of thing. Right. And I think the... And adrenaline fuel. Yeah. And I think when he... Which was a very cool ending shot. When the hand goes down and drops the gun. Oh, the gun shot. Yeah, that was... Runs over the gun. That was a great... Very good shot. I have a feeling and we're gonna see number two so please don't spoil this for us. Obviously, we're gonna see number two. I think he's dead. I think so too. I hope so. I don't want him to be alive. But here's the thing when we're talking about the ending part. Did you see that many people betraying him? His wife? I didn't... No, I didn't predict it. No. But I wasn't surprised when... Of course not. Yeah. That didn't surprise me but when she said he's gone I'm like Damn! Yeah. She was not kidding. Yeah. I did not see that them betraying him coming. Right. I thought it was gonna be the other guy. The... Not Noazedem but the other guy with the mustache. I mean there's a lot of people. I was gonna say the other guy with the mustache. I think everybody had facial hair at some point. That's true. Including the women. Now what are the things you like best and what are the things that you disliked if there was anything dislike? My least favorite part of this film was the fact that it was hard to keep up with the time different. Like time change. Okay. Like they didn't specify when it was months in advance except for a few times or if it was years in advance or post whatever event and so it was like you just had to figure that out on your own. Right. Noazedem said he grew up so fast. True. Yeah. But everybody else kind of looked almost exactly the same. It's true. His dad didn't age really much and all of a sudden it's like oh okay. Yeah. So that I think was the biggest flaw in the film. I didn't see a lot of other flaws outside of what we talked about in the beginning where I can't it was hard to keep up but I was I'm not really blaming the film for that. The same thing would happen with Godfather. You kind of need to watch these films a couple of times in order to get the whole family because these families are difficult to keep up with. Yeah. Especially with how much they kill everybody. I know. Yeah. Who's going to die and who killed who and who's mad at who but I did directing wise I did enjoy his shots. His shots were very beautiful. So if it is the same director as Sacred Games I wouldn't be surprised because it's very beautifully shot. It felt like it could have been directed by Scorsese. Yeah. And I believe they said this director is Francis Scorsese or at least they they know each other and apparently Scorsese has seen this and appalled it. That was something like that. Yeah. It was something like that. And good ways and bad ways. God bless you. It reminded me of Scorsese in both good ways and bad ways because there's good Scorsese and there's bad Scorsese as far as what I like and dislike. That's true. Good Scorsese is Gangs of New York and he's got a long list but that's the first thing that comes to my mind is that that Scorsese is silence. Yeah. You did and then you actually did with me. Oh yeah. There's why. He always gets the acting and he always gets the cinematography and at that level he's always brilliant and gorgeous but I think he can be self-indulgent with his pacing and length of film. Oh, saying that people who want to see this I'm so brilliant. Well, not even that. Not even that. It's out of the film. Not even that and it's a double-edged story because film is a director's medium so a director can do whatever the heck they want to do with their medium and tell whatever kind of a vision they want to tell. Yeah. But there's a fine line between telling a story you want to tell that is purely subjective and appease into yourself as a visual artist versus ensuring you keep your audience connected with you and doing it for the sake of the fact of how is this going to read to them? How are they going to connect with that? This thing was first a one film project that was five and a half hours long and the theaters in India said, no. Not happening. So if you split them into two films I think you could have and I haven't seen part two obviously I think you probably could have cut enough of this to make one film because there is so much of this that dragged for me that I was it felt not self-congratulatory it was that I need to share this and I'm going to share this and you have every right to do that as a director so I applaud that but for me as an audience member I was I'm looking at the clock and I'm like can we please get on with the story so that was the first thing for me the other thing was I didn't care about anybody there was nobody I was rooting for Do you rooting for in the Godfather? Yes, absolutely there's a few people I'm rooting for in the Godfather I mean rooting for is one thing but they're also all terrible people not completely repugnant not completely which is what I was rooting for I was rooting for Noazudan at the end I like him a lot kind of I was kind of rooting for Noazudan but I wasn't I did if he'd been shot and killed I would have gone there wasn't anybody there whereas when Vito got shh boat if you haven't seen the Godfather where have you been go watch it because we're going to share some Godfather spoilers when Vito Corleone gets shot and even at the end when he has his heart attack when he is kind of touched by the fact and sad for the Corleone family and sad for Michael Michael was such a good guy and Vito really wanted to protect his son when Vito gets the news that Michael was the one who did the hit and he didn't know because he had been down after having been shot he's very heartbroken that his son became part of the fit he always wanted to protect Michael and didn't want Michael to be in the family that mattered to me I could nobody in this film anybody could have died and I would have been yeah yeah I feel that I mean I understand I don't think I was totally that full on I was never there was some points I agree that it did drag yeah but I think this is a lot like the first four episodes of Sacred Games it very well could be good comparison and then the second half is going to be good comparison obviously really picked up there at the end when we got to what the real meat is the whole thing of the story was watching this kid grew up and all the rest of this was preamble it was going to be the right Al Pacino right character and a lot of people think Godfather 2 is the best film and it is it's really crazy because Godfather 2 was one of the most extraordinary sequels ever and that it's just a continuation of part 1 so I may be eating my words and at respect when I see 2 I'll go oh ok now I get it and I actually care these films are all especially like I felt like this director loves old school gangster Hollywood oh completely well maybe body I had to remind myself I wasn't watching Scorsese yeah it was that good it was very Scorsese yeah but yeah the old school films especially they and this one didn't have the gore that Godfather had no or a lot of other yeah obviously you just saw a couple of hands everywhere like obviously you didn't see horses getting chopped up no and I know they've got the censorship board but let's talk about the language a little bit because the language wasn't what it isn't what would really be said did they curse it on? no that's my point ok gotcha yeah I noticed that yeah and I didn't know if it was like like cause I read some comments that said it's like language you wouldn't understand like curse words and all that kind of stuff and so I was wondering if it was the subs that couldn't translate what I was saying could be because why they're none comparing it to sacred games sacred games we get it completely I mean it is I know that's the difference of the films in the cinema which we understand that we know there's stuff that can be done Netflix versus general releases if they're not costing I kinda just thought it was the subtitles that would be an issue yeah and it didn't I didn't dislike that I just thought it was kinda funny in a couple spots at the end I was excited to watch the second one and so oh there's a bird out there oh hahaha welcome to my family hahaha but we're gonna do a movie review squirrel but yes I especially towards the end cause I wanna know make sure he's dead yeah I wanna know if he's dead the character I was most invested in was Noa's identity maybe it's just cause I knew who he was maybe it's to be different like we all knew who all those characters were in the godfather before we watched the godfather well maybe not you saw I saw one I was seven my Italian grandpa put me on his lap and said watching the godfather well you're also Italian too so it's kind of a yeah it was a family though it's probably I probably do hahaha at least my grandpa hoped we did yeah it was like he wanted us to be in the mafia as a grandpa so yeah it definitely had some pacing flaws I would agree but I will give the benefit out to see the second one yeah because you know it's all about acting but and I think we're actually gonna get to the meat and potatoes kind of like sacred games and I will say that too like for example with Scorsese Scorsese always gets a pass for me like when we saw silence it was it was arduously long but I thought it's Scorsese you go ahead man I mean I wish you would engage me more but okay and I feel this way with this director I prefer personally but he gets that ensemble acting mmhmm he had a lot of great acting everybody I mean it was on a weak link I don't think everybody was great even the kids everybody so yeah this director obviously brings that out of the yeah out of the kids I mean just utterly believable I really feel like I was a fly on the wall watching this thing going down so yeah I do want to find out yeah so obviously we will watch the second one give us be patient yes we have a lot to watch be patient but we did enjoy it please let us know with the comment sections down below like you usually do yeah we do read your comments and laugh and laugh and laugh
