Yes But we finally did it, didn't we, Corbin? That's what it was for But yes, it's... Why do you start? Seriously, why do you start? I want to start with my favorite part, which is Shami Oh my God We're going to start with your favorite part, which is the last 10 minutes of the film No, he's my favorite throughout the entire thing Okay, okay, do we know where he's from? No We've seen him We have He was in Super Deluxe Shut the front door Do you know who he was? Hold on Was he... Hold on No, he wasn't... He was the husband that was about to sell her out to be raped at the end The one I hated? Yeah That's the same dude That's him Wow He is the... From what I've heard from Super Babies, he's like the definition of a shapeshifter Clearly And he is that good Clearly Holy cow I don't know if this was an original screenplay or if it was an adapted one It doesn't matter But the way they wrote that character The entire time, you were like, this dude's a creep From the beginning with his Borat mustache that he had on And his detail to... Making sure But he was so creepy Cause like, you thought he'd be normal and then he was just like, he just is... How about Thomas? How about, let's just jump all over How about when he just straight up goes and stands in the corner with his teammates? Oh, it's my favorite I watched it with my wife And we were having a good time watching the film and it was like a family drama And then you're like, what's this guy gonna do? Cause in that whole tense situation, you're like, what's he gonna do? And he just goes into the corner, we were probably like, holy shit Dude's a psycho Well, and I thought, you know, when they come up to the place where in the last 10 minutes And they come up and the girls are gone And then Bobby goes to the door and then Bobby's gone I thought, are they gonna... Cause we've been exposed to enough films from India to know You cannot predict what's gonna happen You could get an hour 45 of one thing And then get another 30 minutes of something completely different And I really thought, is this gonna go really bonkers And this guy just mass murders everyone? It was a really good fight scene Yes it was It was so well done And that actor, man, I want to see more of his work Because he is really, really good Cause that character could have easily been a cartoon Could have been done so wrong Like somebody just like, ooh, look at me Just doing a weird smile just to be creepy It was so natural His was the hardest role in the film to do and be believable 100% Because everyone now, and we'll talk about them We'll talk about the whole cast Ridiculously natural But his was the most character-like And you were wondering what's his deal to do About the entire thing When is in the right time I thought of, you remember the office part When Michael is out to lunch with Babe, what's her name? June No, Polly, no Secretary Oh cute, oh Aaron No What's her name? Aaron, thank you Oh, yes When he's out to lunch with Aaron and then he drops that Andy, who she's dating Right Was engaged to Angela Right And she didn't know that Right, and so then she started going crazy And then she put her hair over her face like this And she said, when I was in the When I was in the, when I was What was it called? When I was in foster care My hair was my room That's what I was thinking the whole time He's just standing in the corner Standing there Yeah And then, then they call You know, she gets on the phone and calls his brother He's like, okay, I'll be there in the morning And then they, then they hear him And he just pokes his, he like pokes his head around the corner With a smile I was like, let's go to bed What? It was completely, completely incredible Completely difficult to pull that off Yeah, naturally Yes Because it could have easily been a borat Okay, so now let's also talk about He was your favorite, my favorite Please Well, I love everyone in that character Okay I'll mispronounce this man's name I'm going to pronounce it Saban Shakir Who played Asaji? Who played Asaji? Asaji, yeah Phenomenal Yeah, he did, he did ridiculously good He was so, so, I love what they did In the beginning of the film With the, the brothers Yes Like, I, I come to brother fight And they're grabbing each other's nuts One, that doesn't happen And unless it does in India, I'm not sure I have a family of four brothers So I could really easily relate Ray Oldhoffer would unquestionably do that Yeah To his brothers No It can happen with brothers in America Yeah, but you do fight often And you do wrestle And so I, I, I related to a lot of the Even though my family is much more functional than What they are But I thought it was what the way On his arc as a character Yeah Was ridiculously like amazing And they all had really good arcs They really did The writing of this are brilliant But yeah, I really His work was I kept, I was messaging and drawing While I'm watching it and I'm saying Has she seen No And I said like 15, 20 minutes I said this is really good Like, really good We're about half hour in I said I am 100% emotionally invested In these people I care about everybody And there isn't a weak actor in the bunch Nobody, the kids The supporting people Everybody in this The weakest was probably the American girl She's not that Yeah, but she wasn't even She wasn't very much in The weakest was the random white guy Taking a picture He was awful as them all are Can you take a picture again? Yeah He's fishing Uh-huh Wow Wow I mean everywhere in India You have the random white dudes And it's like there's this whole Like factory It's like central casting for India Bad white actors Gotta have one Gotta have one It's like a standard in the industry Luckily they didn't let them talk much Anyway We won't be able to talk about everybody No The Bobby and baby The girl who played baby You don't put baby under the bed in a corner That's for sure And there's just so much to talk about There's just this The score Was absolutely Gorgeous I loved Saji Yeah, Saji Saji's arc And I loved how The Bobby's arc as well Yes Who had a ridiculously good one You were like, oh, he's so sweet When, you know, he was like He actually remembered her Giving the note And she went away That was so great Then he was a dick And he was like, I'm a man Yeah I was like, bro You just lost all Boom Come on, bro And then they kind of brought him back But, you know, he's He's still a dick sometimes And not as bad as Sammy No No And then also, I loved Bonnie Yeah What they did with that One, he's a mute Beautiful I thought he spoke a lot With not speaking at all 100% I thought he conveyed a lot And I thought he did really But everybody in this cast Was so, so natural Some of those natural acting I've seen in Indian cinema In Indian cinema 100% It was like they were all a bunch of little And they weren't in the Sadikis This To show you Show you how good this is And tell me if you agree If I was pitting And it's very, very different films But as far as the believability And likability And my desire To watch these films If I had to put Parasite up against this Every day of the week I am choosing this Not that I dislike Parasite I think Parasite is a great movie Yeah Believable and fun and quirky With a cool message Yeah But the accessibility The believability The wanting I want to go spend Time with these people in this village Yeah, they're both Both those films are both really good I think this one's definitely more unique I agree Because I've seen the story of Parasite Done before Where somebody pretends to be something And blah, blah, blah Yeah And I also think that this has a So many places of subtlety in it I don't want to compare it to this Because they're very different But in the same way that There was a uniqueness In one of my favorite films Of all time Which is the Florida Project Where you feel like You're seeing a slice of life And you're just being allowed Even something as simple As watching Lisa The water's great Bonnie, take her out And they go out into the water And the algae is Like the water That's something else we could talk about The other character in the film Which is Karala Come on Holy cow, man Wow I know we've reacted to the place And I know I've heard That it's ridiculously beautiful Orgous But holy cow This definitely showcased it It did How beautiful That God's own country Basically remember In the tourism video It's so beautiful Yeah Just all the backwaters And all the plants Just growing everywhere And it's ridiculously beautiful I'm hoping we get to go there One time in India Oh, yeah And in addition to all of that So you've got magnificent direction Beautiful score Great story Just fantastic script A 100% believable Natural grounded cast Every single one of them And then you also have Some really important And powerful social messages It's just about as good As a movie can get for me And I genuinely I have a list of my favorite Movies of all time That I would recommend people watch And I would say This would also be a I would I don't think This needs This could be an early watch For anybody Like an American Who doesn't know Indian cinema I think this is a really good film Yeah To be put into What the particular beauty about this Is that it will put you Into a region of India That is never represented Yeah In Hindi film Yeah So at least we haven't seen it yet Yeah So to You know We've talked about in English English, lunchbox And those kinds of films I would say as well You should watch this film To get an idea Of the larger, broader picture Of what India has in common And also what is different Yeah This would definitely go in Towards the top of Stuff you could introduce to Americans The issue The only issues I would see with it Are that in Introducing it to an American Is there are some cultural things That they might not understand That's true There are some that I don't understand That's true The way I mean I understand Because we've heard about it a lot But I just still don't Understand it Right But then also They speak much faster Than Hindi people Yeah I mean It might be difficult For somebody who's not Even stupid babies Have told us That they Like people that only Watch Bollywood films They try to watch some South Indian films Or stuff like that And they say I can't I can't watch it And I can't read the subtitles At the same time Yeah It's definitely a thing That you need to Get used to I'm still used to subtitles That last night With Ashley and Harrell We were watching An episode of Grey's Anatomy And when it started I almost turned to them And I was like Wear the sub And I stopped Oh Yeah I don't need subtitles For this one Yeah So those are the only two Issues But this would definitely Be one I would recommend Highly Because one It's so believable The acting It's so natural And also The end Because 85% of this film Is a family Drama Yeah It's incredible They take just A 10 minute Ending part Make it Good They're able to then Bring it back And end it The way it started That's It's like all of a sudden That goes Tarantino on you And then goes back To being this really Beautiful, romantic Family drama I thought all the Genius I thought all the brothers With their love interest Did really, really well I believed all the Love interest And I Like I appreciated Saji Saji is one where After He was basically Trying to kill himself Which was an intense scene And then His friend died Right Because he was trying To save him from Killing himself And then he went to therapy And he Because he Felt like he couldn't cry Which was I thought that was a Brilliant Natural Moment When he calls His little brother over And he says I need help I need a doctor I can't cry And I Also loved The juxtaposition About their family history And Saji was telling the doctor About their family history And then when we go back When he's finally The breakthrough The doctor Sure is just Freaking soaked Soaked Yeah And also the young kid I thought did Really, really well He did I thought I saw a lot of my Little brother In that kid Just He acted Like I said I come from a family I'm the second Oldest of Four boys And so Not Very different than my family But I saw some of my brothers In each of the different Characters And the youngest Fit The characteristics Of the youngest child Of a big family And I thought He did Really well So the writing And his acting Were really good And you're right There are things I'm thinking about That as well We have an appreciation I would still Recommend it early But we have an Appreciation For the cultural Understanding For example of The other would be Considered the person That you talk to And why the two brothers Are talking to each other And why that's important But it might be good For Americans to be Introduced to them That's what I mean Exactly That's another But there's one thing I didn't understand Why the mom wasn't there They said she took Gospel rocks Or I assumed it was Like a monk Slash Yeah, it was A weird thing I didn't know What she was though Right I didn't know She was like A nun Right I didn't get it Because just because You know The majority of Christians Whether they're Protestant Or Catholic Live normal lives Where they would be able To spend time with their family Yeah The only reason You would do something like That is if you've gone down A track where you're going To become a priest Or a nun Or a monk They didn't tell us But that would be My supposition That she was in Some practicing form That disallowed her The normalcy Of social life Yeah So yeah And I Was thinking about this Even just right now During the Saga Awards They don't do best picture They do best ensemble Oh, this would win Would you have Unquestion With what we had this year If this was in the groupings We had for the Saga Awards This year That was in the groupings We had bombshell We had parasite We had Jojo Was Jojo part of that? Yeah, Jojo was part of that And then Also was Jojo was really good Oh It was probably Irishman Irishman was in there And I would put it over Irishman For sure For me This would have been The best ensemble work I've seen this year And that I've seen In a really long time I could see a debate Why How it could be for sure I don't know But it would be in the conversation Yeah, 100% It should definitely be Nominated 100% And I don't know This also should have been In conversation for Foreign films To send to the Oscars Maybe it was I don't know It may have been Maybe because What we thought And I still probably think That they were trying to go for Star power In Gully Boy Oh, yeah Guys, as much as we love Gully Boy And we saw the political connectivity To get that done This is Head and shoulders above Gully Boy As far as the film is concerned And we love Gully Boy Yeah, we love Gully Boy So don't get us wrong Yeah But as far as a film is concerned Yeah This is I'm very excited And the fact that it was his first film That is insane Seriously To be that Had to have worked as a DP or something Prior He was a assistant director On a film in 2016 That's nuts Sincerely Also, why doesn't he have any projects in development? I can't remember a director I've ever seen That came out and did something first That was this good Yeah, I'd have to think And yeah Why do you not have more things Maybe they don't update in production They don't update in the IMDb very often And yeah, okay What about the score? I thought it was really unique Because they actually had some American I mean some English-speaking songs in there as well Which fit really, really well The score was gorgeous I thought it fit really well And it was really, really pretty And I thought the cinematography It wasn't hard Because you're in that country And so it was hard to make it look beautiful It's true But it was It was ridiculously beautiful The way he shot set up the last shot Where they had the title Oh yeah And the water And then it comes up I thought it was really, really pretty Come on So yeah, we love this film And I can't think of honestly Any flaws outside of the couple The white guy But that kind of comes with the territory I guess with Indian cinema now Yeah I would It is without question One of the few films that I could say Is almost flawless In terms of every single aspect Every single aspect There really wasn't anything glaring And I mean Like Like Schindler's List Is a virtually flawless film Where And we're talking like Nitpicky continuity errors Historicity Anything like that The only thing that I would find problematic Was that one moment that took up three seconds With the white dude Not being believable Although it did make me cringe When all the tours were coming by And they were taking pictures of the It just, it makes me cringe Like that I don't like that Like in Gully Boy When they come into the house It's like really But I love that he moonwalked That was great Yeah, I loved that character But I also really enjoyed the I think it was almost the opening Where Bobby came in And he started eating No words were spoken And then the brother came in And he was like And he started eating And then the young boy came in And they didn't talk for a good couple of minutes A good while They did a lot of that But again The moonwalk thing That's really in a nutshell Kind of what this film is like And how I even feel about Our connection to India And what I think this film could do With a lot of other Indian films Is that that boat Being representative of Americans Seeing this culture, right And for them Going to a place like this Would seem so Foreign Correct? And there's the guy on the side of the thing He's the fisherman In this Foreign atmosphere But he moonwalks for you And that what that conveyed Is We're more the same Than we are different If you stop and take a look And this is one of those films I think is Most wonderful about it for me Is that I think that Any American audience Who's never been exposed To Indian film would watch this And probably have that Start to register of Wow, this is a place I've never seen A culture and people I've never seen A language I've never heard They're dealing with The same kinds of things I deal with And they're actually Wow, they have They know what Bluetooth is Seriously, they'll think that They'll think Oh, you have Bluetooth there You have Wi-Fi there You can listen to music That is the kind of music We listen to And you guys fight Over true love Versus not true love So, massive thumbs up Brilliant film Let us know what Malayalam I hope that's right Malayalam Malayalam Malayalam Malayalam Malayalam Malayalam Malayalam Let us know what One of those films We should watch next Because I know you've been Screaming at us too Bring them on But if this And I That's what they say They say it's It's very natural cinema But I'll tell you what Every other Malayalam film That comes our way Is got a lot to live up to Because this was about As good as it gets right here Let us know down in the Covered section below
