 does movies live show. I put a weird way to start. Anyway, it's going to be a fun one today. I got my buddy, my online friend who I've never actually talked to before, Sean Chandler. He's in the studio. We're going to be debating heavily. Hopefully actually we'll probably be in agreement on a lot of them. Our DCEU films, where we put them in a ranking list, our thoughts on Blue Beetle coming out soon if we think it's going to be success, a failure. Yeah, and just kind of the DCEU going forward should be a fun time. I'm not going to waste any more of it. Let's bring him in. Sean, hello. Hey, hello. You know, I've never met you before. Senior videos for years, interacted over the internet. We've even done a collaboration, we shot it separate, but we've never actually spoken before, which is so weird. Serial with like internet buddies when that happens. It's really weird. Yeah, I feel like I kind of know you and we're friends from afar. We both have kids or both, you know, doing the dad thing and trying to make our, well, you do this full time. I still have an actual full time job. So, you know, you've made it to that next level, which is just awesome. If you guys don't know Sean Chandler, he has a YouTube channel. He's been doing it for quite a while now. About as long as I have, I think maybe not as long, but seven years for me. July 2016 is my supposed start date. Well, so you climbed, you climbed much faster, which is just embarrassing for me, but good for you, I guess. Let me, let me share this. Does it help if I put it, say I put out a Jackie Chan fan webpage in 1998. So in that case, it took me over 20 years. Was it on GeoCities or Angel Fire or one of those? Members.aol.com. Wow. It's legitimately an AOL web. That's, that's amazing. Does it still exist? Cause that's the thing. It's on the internet way back machine. You can still see the images of it and stuff like that. And it is, it is just as awful as you'd think. There's Sean's Chandler. Go over there, subscribe to him. It's, it's a pleasure having you on man. I feel like it's been a long time coming. Yeah. I'm excited to see how this goes. I was reading the chat and someone goes, oh, this should be interesting because there's such opposites because Adam is so sarcastic and Sean has a halo around his head. It's like, well, I appreciate, I think I appreciate that, but if you know me in real life. Adam's such an asshole and Sean's such a great guy. Yeah. I've been sarcastic the whole time, Sean. Love your stuff. Now, um, now I think it's gonna be just fine. Uh, what was I gonna say here? I see you have your Captain America TV and your shirt and I, of course, I'm showing the, showcasing the greatest of the DCEU offerings. This should be fun. Yeah. Okay. Do you want to get going? How do you want to, how do you want to start this? You want to jump right in? Yeah. I mean, I guess so. Let's go for it and see, see where things take us. Okay. Let's go on this wild journey together. I have, I kind of like in the final 11th hour, uh, changed how I was going to do this format. Let me quickly share. Maybe, maybe if we shared my general thoughts on the DCEU before we dive into it, just to give kind of a, maybe a point of reference. That would be great. Because it's such a weird universe because, like, whenever I look at the movies, I have, because I love DC characters so much. Um, I feel like I, the universe and as a continuity, it's kind of terrible because it's all over the place and it's always fighting with itself. But, but like the individual films, I probably like too much. There's a bunch of movies that I would be like, these are pretty mediocre crappy movies, but I just have a lot of fun with them because I like playing in the DC toy box. But it like, it doesn't make any sense how like these movies exist in the same universe, especially in light of Man of Steel and the, the foundation of this universe was David Goyer was writing The Dark Knight Rises and he had an idea for a Superman movie. He went to Christopher Nolan and he's like, if Superman arrived, it would be the biggest thing to ever happen. That's the foundation. Christopher Nolan, that's a cool idea. And then by the time you get to the second movie, they just throw that out entirely. Wonder Woman's been on the planet. There's meta humans everywhere. It's like, well, not, well, not only that, Wonder Woman's been on the planet secretly. You know, she's not actually interfering with mankind, which made it really hard to do standalone Wonder Woman movies that are set in modern times. Right. And then they're saying, the whole basis of her origin is, yeah, she hasn't done anything. So let's do two prequels as her standalone movies. Right. Where in one of them, she ends Nomad's land in World War One. Oh my God. And then in the second one, she's on a news broadcast. They're like, save everyone. Like, what? Why does this continuity make any sense? I just went, so I've been doing a new thing on the channel called roast videos. They're pretty long and they take a good amount of work to do. And unfortunately, one of the things that's required is I have to watch these terrible films. So I just rewatched Wonder Woman 1984. It's two and a half hours long, and it's just a complete shit show of a film. I love how she takes her tiara and uses it as a weapon to break the security cameras, even though they already recorded her. Like somehow that's stopping the footage from going to the, you know, the other equipment. I don't think I've rewatched it since December 2020, in which case when it was like, at the time it was like, wow, I'm watching a superhero movie in a theater again. I never thought this would happen. And it's so hopeful. And then it's like one of those movies that as soon as you get away from the excitement of I'm actually watching a movie again and the world didn't end. You're like, wait a minute. No, that movie made any sense. I took my daughter, well, we're going so deep in the woods. Let's get to it. Yes, yes, yes. Sean, I'm sorry. Have you ever, I'm not sure if you've ever ranked a movie before. You might not even know how this works. Is that something you're comfortable doing? I had a blog prior, trying to, my mini adventures. I had a blog and I did a couple rankings back in like 2013. I think I ranked the episodes of the fourth season of Arrested Development. Oh my gosh. That's a real thing that I think I did. Oh my gosh. Did you say the four seasons you did? No, the fourth season episodes. Oh my gosh. Of the fourth season, the Netflix season. Are they all just in last? Are they all like ranked 11 or 12? I don't remember. Like one of those things that was like, oh yeah, I did that, didn't I? That was the thing that I, I actually was the ranking guy before I started my YouTube channel. I was doing this stupid stuff. So as it turned to You're just yelling into, into the ether. No one's listening at that point, but you're doing it for you, you know? If, if, if you ever seen the, the video, it's on the TV show Life is Short where Liam Neeson, it goes in to be like interviewed by Ricky Jarvis. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That show was hilarious, the parody style interviews. Yeah. And so he goes in and it's, Liam Neeson walks in and he goes, I made a list. You seen this list that I made? I love making lists. I think that's why Steven Spielberg cast me in Schindler's list. Ricky Jarvis starts laughing and he's like, why are you laughing? He's like, what? I thought that was a joke you were making, like no, no. As an actor you draw on things and I drew on that. That's me apparently. I'm the guy that just loves making lists. You're not only a list guy, you're also comparing yourself to Liam Neeson, which is pretty, pretty impressive to do. I applaud him. And I named my child Liam, so. I named my son Connor off of John Connor. So we're kind of, we're kind of the same ballpark there. Nice. The last name unrelated. I wanted to do, I wanted to do middle, middle name Drake for Uncharted. Drake's fortune, but my wife put the kibosh out of spite. She made me name him Blake. I don't think she gives a shit about the name Blake. She just didn't want me to have it. She didn't want to give me the W at the end of the day. That's messed up. I know it is. And the rest of development, first three seasons are fantastic. So I'm glad you brought that up. Okay, let's, let's get to this. Let's get the show on the road. That's why I thought it'd be a good idea to talk about the Netflix episodes. It was not. Yeah, that sounded like Ron Howard doing the narration. It was not. Okay, how do I share those? Let's see. Share this. Bring it up. Do stuff. Get us in here somehow. Where are we at? Whoa. Where are we at? There we are. We're in the matrix and here it is. Okay, so this isn't to ranking. Calm down. Calm down. This isn't the ranking. This is just the order of release date when these hit theaters. This isn't like chronologically based on the characters. Otherwise, I think what Wonder Woman would be number one, maybe I assume. That's as far back. It's hard to, it's hard to understand. But Sean, we're going to start with Man of Steel. You mentioned it. David S. Goyer, kind of a very hit and miss writer. And he did try his hand at directing at least one movie I saw and it was atrocious. I think it was called Invisible. Is that the right name? He was dead and then he was like haunting his girlfriend. Really, really awful film. Okay, let's talk Man of Steel. And he did Blade Trinity. So that's unfortunate. Oh, that's right. He did direct Blade Trinity. A miserable film. Yeah, he had a really bad track record as a director. That's unfortunate. But you know what's not unfortunate? Man of Steel. I know it's hit and miss for people. A lot of people either seem to love this or hate it. I'm more on the love side. I definitely can recognize the problems with it. I do, I love, listen, I love Kevin Costner. Every man, blue collar, salt of the earth. Kevin Costner. But I did not like the character arc of him dying in the tornado. I thought that would be just so freaking dumb. Like, no, no, you're not gonna save me from this. I'm gonna die on this hill. It was so, and the message that he's trying to teach his son was terrible too. So it was just kind of a messy, but whatever. Outside of that, I, I do really like the visuals. People get mad because, you know, Superman smashing through buildings, presumably killing tens of thousands of people, fighting Zod. I'm okay with that. He's not, he's not Superman yet. The movie's called Man of Steel. It's, it's day one. He's still figuring it out. Yeah. Oops. Oops. I accidentally destroyed a skyscraper. But I also say, yeah, I'm not thinking on my feet real quick. I got another super powered alien fight in me, you know? Right. He's battling a bunch of Kryptonians. Right. And he's trying to save billions of people. Sure, a couple thousand are gonna die in the process. Yeah. So I'm at a big fan of this movie. When I first watched it, I didn't know what to make of it. Like, went to go see it. Actually, it was a youth pastor at the time. We were on a trip and I was like, new Superman movie's coming out. Senior sneak tonight. Literally took the whole, all the seniors at midnight because I wanted to go see it. So we went to go see it midnight. That's not a short movie either. You get something to get back to like 330. And this, like we were at camp. So camp is not next to the movie. Well, that's what I'm saying. You probably had a half hour drive or so. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. This is like camp in the middle of nowhere, Texas, driving into New Braunfels, Texas. Watch the movie. Long movie and then driving back. So I was very, very responsible. But you know, I grew up on Christopher Reeve's Superman movies. I just adored those movies grow up. Those are, those are the ones that we had growing up. That in Batman 89. And so this is so different that it took me a couple of viewings to like evaluate the movie on its own terms and not just be like, that's different. And then once I kind of bought into it and the vibe that they were going forward and that they were intentionally trying to do something different, I just really dug it the score. Fantastic. Yeah. Wildly different from the John Williams score. Equally iconic in its own way. And you know, Zack Snyder is one of those directors that swings for the fences. He's always trying to do something. And sometimes it's awful. Sometimes it's awesome. But he's actually has a distinct voice. And in particular, more and more that we get just these generic as can be superhero movies. When you watch one that has a distinct style, you're like, I like this. I dig this. I appreciate this. Yeah. It I was worried going in because it kind of had, you know, the dark night leading up to this, that they were just going to dark night Superman make it really, really, you know, down to earth and grounded and serious. And thankfully, that's not what they did. It's definitely a lot more somber, a lot less hopeful than a lot of people probably wanted. What do you mean is the symbol on his chest means hope? It's a hope. It's right there. It's in the trailer. They marketed it that way. That's right. That's right. Yeah, I don't, I don't really have any issues with this outside of the Costner stuff. And I do think Amy Adams is maybe not the best Lois Lane, but it's not because of Amy. It's because I just don't think they rid her, oh, rid her, ridder is the word now. They didn't write her really in line with how I picture Lois Lane acting. Yeah. Well, it's also a little bit tricky because it's such a, it's a story told in such a specific moment and time for them that puts them outside of their normal even interaction. So he's Clark Kent, but he's not really doing a lot of normal Clark Kent things. And so even her interactions with them are kind of, you know, she meets him in a spaceship. That's kind of weird. It's a little weird. Yeah. Yeah. So cinematography, though, is just top of the line. I love that just the personal shots of him touching down the debris going up into the air. Those flying sequences are beautiful. I love the iHop. I mean, I can't get enough of the iHop setting very, very nicely done. But just even coming off, like off Superman returns that was like, look, he's saving cats. Look, he's stopping bake robbers, but he doesn't punch anyone in the face. And they gave us a movie that he punches people in the face and they had this like frantic energy to it that I just, there's a lot of details in it. Even, even like the way that they did the Christopher Maloney character, my mom, for 10 years straight only watched Law and Order SVU. That was the only TV show she watched. So I've seen a lot of Law and Order SVU. Wow. So then he appears in a Superman movie and he's written to be very unlikable. Like he's just the abrasive military guy. Yeah. But they even find ways to use that in a sense of like, he's also committed to that. He like, he won't let, like these Kryptonians that will obviously kill him. He'll still grab a knife and be like, yeah, but I'm gonna hold the knife in front of you. Snyder, yeah, Snyder did a good job with this one. And he didn't go full Snyder, which was nice. Like the guy didn't turn it at the camera and wink at any point and his eyes turned green. And, and everybody's like, what, what, what was that? What did you just do there? And then Snyder just tips the hat and walks away. It kept it at least plausible for this one. It's later when things go a tad off the rails for me personally. But yeah, I think, uh, I think I like this quite a bit. I ranked it, where did I rank it? Number two. This is the second, this is my second favorite DCEU film. I have it at number two. Are you serious? Wow. Wow. This is incredible. That's gay. I don't think we need to go any further. Our lists are identical at this point. Yes. We're batting 100%. Let's quit while we're ahead. Exactly. Okay, let's go back. Let's go back to the list. Oh my god. Sean, I got these tabs all open. I don't know if I need yours up. I'm going to get rid of yours. I got these tabs open to share and I almost just shared your full ranking list. Like a complete idiot. That would have been absolutely devastating. It would have shut this whole thing down too sweet. Remember that term? Everyone. There we go. We have Batman. Oh, you know what? Side note, Sean, where can I find your ranking of all 10 seasons of line order SG-1? The show started, I think, at 99. So I think they're on season 24. Is it S? Wait, did I say they're at SG-1 or is it SG-1? SG-1 at Stargate. The Stargate. This is SVU. Oh, SVU. I combined the two. When am I going to get the line order Stargate crossover film? We've all been wanting. Yeah, that would be fantastic. Oh my god. Just all the SG-SV, just combine them together, but there was a point in time where I had seen like every episode of the first 15 seasons of law and order. Yeah, that's incredible. Every episode is SG-1. They're all the same. Yeah, exactly. The same exact formula. It's like house. Someone's been raped or murdered. It's like house. It's always like lupus or something. Every time I'm just yelling, like whatever house says it is, it is. Stop beating around the bush for 45 minutes. Okay, now I can't get Stargate law and order out of my head. I think that would be incredible. Okay, we have, here we have Batman V Superman. I cannot believe Batman V Superman is the second movie in the DCEU. This is nuts. Yeah. And every time you rethink through like the universe and you go, wait a minute, they really did that. They really just went straight to it. And the movie feels like that. Like the ideas for movies in here, there's this very obvious like the follow-up to Man of Steel. How is the world reacting to the events of Man of Steel? And they do these montages of the news and these, you know, deconstruction of superheroes and people that hail him as a god and those that criticize him. Jesus symbolism. Like so over, like, and then you have that and then you have Batman V Superman. Which is its own thing. And then it's also like Dawn of Justice. Like, throw that in there. And so we're in the movie, they're preparing for this big battle. Yeah. And then Batman checks his email or something. And we're literally like the basically crescendoing and he checks his email and he starts watching YouTube videos of the flash. And that's the moment that I completely am out of this film. I was on board for all the all the angsty emo dark crap going on. I was even fine with, Oh, I love bringing people together like Lex Luthor being just over the top. But I tell this story. I have to tell it's really quick. But I saw this movie theaters with a bunch of people. My brother was with. And when Bruce went down to his computer to check his portfolio and his stocks and bonds, my brother gets up to go pee because he's like, this is going to be boring. I'm going to run go pee quick. And instantly it does the jump cut to the post apocalyptic doomsday scenario evil Superman. So my brother comes back. Guys can go pee very fast and wash their hands. He comes back in like a minute. And it's just absolute chaos on the screen. There's there's bug demon creatures. Batman's got a fucking gun. Like he's in a duster and my brother Jake turns to me. He's like, what did I miss? And I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. It was it was in scene and they don't explain it. And it's never going to get explained. It's like the flash comes out of a portal. She's the chosen one. What's going on? Yeah, I really like it too. Have you seen the director's cut? I, you know what? Someone told me to see the director's cut. I always respond the same when people ask me to watch director's cuts. I turn and I say it. So like the big one that used to be praised was Daredevil. And I always turn and I say, hey, is the playground scene in there still where they're fighting on the teeter totter? And they just get deflated and like we're done here. We're done here. And that's it. I don't need more of this train wreck. I need less of it. Cut some of it out. So in the case of this movie, it very clearly they wrote a movie that was intended to be 245, 250, three hours as the director's cut is. Eight hours, nine hours shot in a four by three aspect ratio. And and then the the studio heads came in and said, no, that's too long. It has to be this short. And so then they started cutting pieces out to the point where it's like you're not even explaining what's going on. You're cutting, but like cutting out all the stuff about Clark Ken as a reporter. The connective tissue that makes the logic work for the motivations of what's going on. I have seen the director's cut. I'm sorry. I have because they had that whole subplot with Amy Adams, Lois Lane. She's like tracking the bullet. Yeah, it is like this whole thing. And yeah, I don't I still don't care anymore about it. Right. But I know you're saying. So it makes more sense. It's still convoluted. It's still very clearly they're trying to do too much. I love a lot of this movie. I just don't think it works. Well, I think it overall because I respect the ambition of the film. I like that it's actually trying to do something. It's fun to just see all these characters on screen together. You know, the big epic finale. Snyder is good. It's spectacle. And there's all these kind of shots that are pulled from the comic. So it works well enough for me. But it's like I don't know if that's your actual writing like three out of five. Like I think that's that's pretty fair to say that there's there's a lot of merit here. It's loaded. There's too much that they it feels very much compromised by studio heads saying like no, no, no, no, you got to do this and you got to do this and you got to do this. And so then all of a sudden Batman's checking his email and watching YouTube videos right before the finale. Lex Luthor took the time to make custom icons. For the folders. Yeah, it was really like I don't even know what program is using to do that. It's impressive. I want to do that. I like folding things. I want to I want to be able to make like emblems and insignias on my stuff. The other thing is Wonder Woman felt absolutely forced into this film. She comes out of nowhere, shot out of a cannon at the end of the film. Right. What is it? Doomsday? Who's the bad guy? Who's the giant? It's it's it's they turn Zod into. Yeah. Doomsday is the equivalent. It's incredible how a good chunk of these Warner Brothers movies totally messed with the scripts and in the editing department. I mean, I would say a good five movies on this list would have been a lot better. Like you said, if they just gave him full creative control regardless if it's better for everyone remains to be seen, but it's going to at least pull in it's kind of like when the last Jedi came out and it pissed off half the fan base or more like myself. And instead of just going all in on the new direction, Ryan Johnson took it, which they should have done. They backtracked and tried to like double down and pull back the other fans, but instead you just lost all of everybody. Yeah, everybody. Nobody likes it anymore. Yeah. Right. And that's how I feel like this whole Snyderverse kind of turned out. It just nobody's winning. And now they still they still try to reference his stuff. Wonder Woman's constantly getting dragged out for a cameo. In the flash, they had all these tips to Zod and Man of Steel and the fans that the fans that like Snyder hate this crap. They don't want to see it anymore. They just they don't. So stop doing it. Like just just burn the bridge and walk away. And I guess that's kind of what they're doing coming up. Yeah. They don't want you treating Zack Snyder as a Easter egg. They want to worship him. They don't want you to be like, hey, hey, look, see. They don't want that stuff. Yeah. They want they want full Snyder or nothing at all. Yeah. I put this film. Put it number nine out of a possible 14. So kind of in the middle. I didn't have it at nine. I had it at eight. We are. Wow. Thus far surprises. I'm sure very soon will like go off in very different directions. But right now. Did you rank your movies? I'm sorry. Did you did you rate your movies? Did you give them stars or anything? Or no, I don't I don't have any. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. And especially with one like this, where most of the movies, I watched them during my channel. So I did my official review and then I might my current opinion versus the opinion I had when I first reviewed it. So I'm just trying to gauge where you're at as far as enjoyment. But it sounds like you like. You like Batman v Superman. If were you on Ron Tomatoes at the time, did you give this a fresh or a run? I was I was not. I do not officially have a score for this one on the Rotten Tomatoes. I would go fresh. I would be it would be a mixed fresh. It would be like like that kind of be minus kind of takes her to be a mixed crash mixed very crunch sort of a. You know, I had a question for you on that because I do the Ron Tomatoes too. But have you ever not put up a fresher Rotten based solely on your own like I can't decide if I wanted to be free. I don't want to put myself out there on it because I don't feel like I can properly determine this. You've done that or you just do it no matter what. There's a lot of times I wait on them or I. Yeah, there's that if I'm there's because it's so tricky because if those of you don't don't know you have to go fresh or rotten. It's one or the other. There's no middle ground. It's not based off your score. It's based off you click fresh or you click Rotten. And when you're in that kind of like the day zone. Yeah, it's it's frustrating. And there's movies where you respect the ambition but maybe didn't fully fulfill it. And then there's movies that like, yeah, that was perfectly mediocre. It was particularly ambitious, but it was fun enough at its mediocrity. And so those are two very different feelings or so it's they're really weird ways that you can mean what you mean by them. So I sometimes I've waited a while to like see how do I feel about it after I've gotten the reaction from people and sat in it here. They heard their criticisms heard the praises like where do I well then you got the then you got the micro game too because if you wait long enough then you see what that score is populating at and sometimes something that's mediocre is pushing 90 percent fresh. And then you're thinking, well, it's not 90 percent. Like it's not that great. Like the majority shouldn't think this movie because when you present that to someone and they see 90 percent fresh, they instantly think that means this is a really, really good movie. But it could mean a lot of people thought it was just a little bit better than average. And that puts it up there. So yeah, it's I was just curious. So yeah, we're it's a tricky game. It wasn't even like then you like do I want to use my influence to try and get that right. And if I do that with depending on certain audiences, if you're the one that does that, you just put a target on yourself and you get all these angry people coming at you like, what did I do? All I did was did you expect me to like the My Little Pony movie? Like, did you think I was the target audience? Well, that's the other big thing too, because like Fast Ten, for instance, came out not that long ago. I thought it was just just terrible. But obviously there's 10 of these. They have a huge built-in audience. So it's like, how much do you separate yourself at this point with these massive franchises? Like, is it giving the fans what they want from these? Do you take yourself out of it at some certain point? And that's kind of where I struggle with how to even, because everything's a product now, it kind of is depressing in a sense. So yeah, I struggle with that. Sucks to be a movie fan, I guess. Okay, here we go. We have Critical Darling. Yes. Suicide Squad. This movie does one thing incredibly well. Okay. Margot Robbie. Yes. That outfit is the greatest gift to men and some women everywhere. Very popular at Comic-Cons in Halloween for adults. Yeah, a lot of girls with daddy issues have celebrated this wardrobe plenty of times and I appreciate it. It's popular on Fortnite too, is the skin for a bit? That was neat. You know, Sean, full disclosure, I've only bought one skin on Fortnite in my life and it was the Harley Quinn skin. So now I know who's running around shooting me, it's Harley Quinn to you. It's so sad. It's so sad. But that's where I'm at in life. Okay, happily married since high school. Okay, well, I didn't get married in high school but I met my wife. It's like, wow, that's impressive. Yeah, yeah, I tied the knot at, you know, 15. No, I've just been with my wife for a very long time. Suicide Squad 2016 directed by David Ayer. This is another one where he's, what are we, six, seven years out? He's still clamoring for that Snyder Cut type of situation. It seems like their support. I like David Ayer. He's done some good stuff. He also did that terrible Will Smith fairy tale movie on Netflix. I don't, there was supposed to be a sequel. I don't know what happened. It was awful. Most Netflix movies are though. I like him though. He did, he did the end of watch which was a solid gritty police drama. He's done some other good stuff but you could tell this is not his movie. Such a shit show. Right. And like right out of the gate, there was so many reports of, he had six weeks to write the script that before the movie came out they're like, they had the trailer company come in to re-edit the movie. Yeah. Like, what? What? And especially like, if you know, if you've seen an interview with David Ayer. Yeah. If you've seen the movies that he makes, they have a hard edge. This is not like this soft pushover guy. Look, just look at the movie. This is Suicide Squad. It's bleak, it's dark. This is not this softy that's like casually like, oh sure guys, if you think the guys that cut the trailer can make a better movie, let me just step right. It's exhausting. That movie is exhausting. I watched it yesterday. For my roast. I had to watch Wonder Woman 84, Suicide Squad and Just Justice League. I watched two of them one day. I mean, Suicide Squad, the title is perfect for how I felt when I was watching that film because it was so, it's so bad. It is so bad. I think there are 12 songs in the first 10 minutes of the movie. And you can feel that they re-edited the film. Yeah. This was not the intro that he had. This was not the way these characters were supposed to be introduced. It's literally like, here's a character. Song introduces them. Yes. Here's a character, a different song. And the song is their character development. And you're like, what is this? It's so random too. It's like whatever they had in the studio library that they could pull from, oh, we got Bohemian Rhapsody, pull it in. We get, there's like some song by Credence, Clearwater Revival. War has a song on there. It's just, it's a disaster. And then Eminem, the most egregious one of all. Eminem comes on and the editor just straight cuts halfway through a verse of a song. It doesn't even bother blending it. It just cuts and then goes to the next part because they had to get to that crescendo of the song. Sad, sad stuff. Amanda Waller, I think three minutes into the movie starts narrating out of nowhere. Like this is her film. She's a protagonist. They did the same thing at the end of Justice League with Lois Lane. She starts narrating the ending. These are their stories. What are we doing? Right. And it's, in both cases, it's the same thing. Studio mandates, cuts, re-edit the movie. So to fill in the gaps, you have to have someone tell you what's happening and explain everything to you rather than actually tell a story. And just utter disasters, like screenwriting, storytelling, filmmaking 101 stuff here. And they get it so wrong. And so it's following David Ayers. It's fun because every month, there's some new thing where he's like, actually, in my movie, actually, I'm hoping someday we can do this, actually. And every single month, he does it. And you feel bad for the guy? It's sad. It's sad. Yeah. You don't imagine you dedicated two, three years of your life to make something. And then the thing that they put out there is the equivalent of someone taking your movie and drawing like a smiley face on it and then putting a crappy music. Like he literally said, like my movie did not have any songs in it. It was all a score. I believe it was a score. I had a score. And then the movie is so defined by that vibe of music, of pop songs and rock songs. And you go, what? Do you remember the logic behind this change? Was it because Deadpool came out not that long before this and they wanted to colorize it? And I think they even added a CG unicorn in at one point with Boomerang's jacket because that was a callback to Deadpool's movie. So basically what David Ayers said is that it was like three things all in a short window of time. Deadpool came out and it just made bazillions of dollars. Just so much money that Warner Brothers went, oh, people went lighthearted. People were like this now. Batman v Superman came out and it was too dark. And then the third one was in the trailers for the movies, they put like ballroom blitz or something like that. So pretty typical stuff for trailers to use songs in them. But people liked that vibe and so they went, let's make the movie more like that. Let's make it funnier like Deadpool. Let's make it not as dark as Batman v Superman. And so then they re-shot the ending. They re-edited the entire film and it's barely coherent. It doesn't, like you're tracking along with what's happening is kind of difficult. It's really hard. I watched, like I said, I watched it. I took copious notes and I was pausing every freaking minute because they were just throwing line after line at you super quick. And these were important things. I still don't know how Harley got the chip in her head removed or deactivated. They don't tell you in the film. And that's like a big plot point to not have your head blown off. Yeah. And they, like you're watching it and they don't tell you exactly what happened in the city. And then they kind of tell you what a flashback later in the film. And it's still really unclear exactly how everything unfolded and the bad guys are putties but they're actually the people from the city and it's just so... I couldn't even gauge what the actual goal was for Enchantress. She says that humans don't worship them. They worship machines. So she says I'm going to build them a machine. She does, which is essentially just a laser beam. I didn't even see a machine at all. I don't know how she even built it. Is she a mechanic? What is she doing to make this shit? And then she just kind of starts doing like a pussycat donchia dance and profit. What was she trying to accomplish? She destroyed a satellite. That was about it. She destroyed a satellite. That was the goal. And her brother's in it too. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, oh yeah. But it's like, oh yeah, her brother's in this. It's just like a total mess of a film. So I don't think David Ayer's version of the film will be good. I just think it'll be better and more coherent. I agree with you on that. Yeah. And so I love to see things like that. I'd love to see it someday. But... Do you think we will? I think the thing that made it most likely we won't see it is the release of the Snyder Cut and the response of the Snyder Bros. I think that if the response to that had been the viewership that it got, plus people being like, hey, thanks, that was cool. That was cool. Like a normal sane response. Right. Like the thing that like, that's my response to it. And then my buddy Rudy in San Antonio, I got it early from press, so I invited him to come over. So he got to see it a couple of days early. And I think he's told me like on my deathbed, I will remember you for letting me see it two days early. Because he's so thankful. He's like, it's so cool we got this. Yeah, it was cool. Now I feel like at any given moment, there's going to be like a January 6th equivalent of these guys storming James Gunn's penthouse and springing him up because he's not releasing more Zack Snyder shit. Right. Like you go, you guys, you're ruining it. All you had to do is be grateful, thankful. And you get more. Like you don't get more by acting like terrorists that like as soon as you got what you wanted, you're like, no, let's blow up the next building. Burn it down. This is a real story. So because I'm middle aged, I had a windows, a door-to-door window salesman came to my house and we agreed to buy windows from a door-to-door window salesman. This happened. So then the guy, the adjuster comes over, walks, checks all the windows and sits down and they're trying to sell you stuff. So, you know, be friendly and charismatic and ask me what I do. And so when you do YouTube, it's kind of an interesting job. So start talking. The guy goes, yeah, I'm a big Grace Randolph fan and I'm a big into the Snyder, release the Snyder cut. And so we ended up talking for like two hours, like two, three hours at this kind of window salesman talking about the Snyder cut. And we get two hours into this. And I'm like, man, I was so excited they released it. I was like, I'm legitimately excited to talk about it because yeah, you know, I spent so much time like trying to get it released. I've actually haven't seen it yet. Oh, no. Oh, no. And he's like, you know, I haven't seen it yet. Like, and he says that I was like, that I think that perfectly embodies the movement. It like, it is a like a cult movement in a lot of ways. They don't even care about the product at this point. They just care about the journey. The movement, the victories. And he's like, you know, I'd already read a lot of the behind the scenes. I'd seen the artwork. And so, you know, I didn't even rush to watch it. And I don't know if he ever did watch it. I don't know. Oh my God. And I heard that. And I was like, so you are 10 times more invested in the movement and 10, like 1000 times less interested in the movie than me. He's got seven Facebook pages. He's managing. He's got a couple of Reddit forums, 4chan. They're all over the place. Yeah. And I thought like, that's the thing that I think I'll hold it back that as long as they're just like burning it, just going crazy trying to burn down James Gunn. Yeah. They're online terrorists. And you can't give in to terrorists. And hopefully they get distracted a little bit by Alita Battle Angel 2. They can take a little bit of time on that one again. And those seem to be the two hills they die on. And to be perfectly clear, I would love to see it. I'd love to see it. We'll get to that. I love Alita 2. I want to lead it too. I like Alita Battle Angel 2. I think it's hilarious that these are the movies. These are the ones. Right. The movements behind them. These are the ones that define a generation. I'm going to leave on this note with Suicide Squad. Sean, since I took a lot of notes, like I said, this is the full verbatim narration that Amanda Waller gives us that they felt the need to put in three minutes into the film. The world changed when Superman flew across the sky. Then it changed again when he didn't. 10-second pause. And that's why I'm here. That's it. That's the whole thing that she smiles at the camera. It walks in to have a steak dinner with Hopper from Stranger Things and talk shop. And I'm pretty sure they put that in the trailer, too. That was like a thing that they went, this is good. This is like, this is it. This is it. We're going to have a gigantic hit. Actually, they did. As much as people have crapped on it since it came out, the movie was very profitable. Well, yeah. I mean, if we rated films based on profitability, then every Transformers film is an A++. But yeah, I know what you're saying. It did incredibly well. I will say, that's what's funny. Suicide Squad made a stupid amount of money. I think Man of Steel, or I'm sorry, BVS made a good amount of money, too. But yet the studio still just dropped them like a bad habit. It's almost impressive that they didn't take what worked, even though it was terrible, and say, well, let's just do. They didn't do what Venom did and make another awful Venom movie. Or whatever. What's the new one called Hunter Craven? Craven the Hunter. All these garbage shovel-weir films Sony's point out, they're not learning a lesson. Their takeaway is we're making a lot of money up for these pretty mediocre to miserable experiences. I give a little bit of props that at least they didn't just keep doing the now, that's what I call music four and five. All right, where did you put this on your ranking? I have it at number 13, next to last. Next to last. I have it at 12. Okay, so once again, we're very, very close. Brothers in Arms, I guess to the end. Let's go to Wonder Woman, 2017. A little fact for you. I took my daughter Olivia to this movie when it hit theaters. She, I don't know how old she was. She would have been like nine at the time. And it didn't really hit me until we left the theater and saw how beaming she was with a smile on her face. And she turned to me and she was like, Dad, I love that movie. I love Wonder Woman, I wanna be like her. And it was like an awesome dad moment. But it was also, it just hit me like, okay, this really legitimately is one of the only big budget female action-led superhero movies to ever grace the big screen. Yeah, you've had like, Electra and Tank Girl and Supergirl. But this was the real deal. They put a lot of money into it. They, you know, they got a good director. They got a good, well, they got a, they got a pretty actress, I wouldn't say good, but they got an awesome score, great effects. And my daughter was just so evacuated. It was great. And so then we fast forward. And Wonder Woman 1984 comes out a couple of years later and my family gathers around the TV because it was released on HBO Max Day Fun. And an hour and a half into the movie, Olivia gets up and she says, I don't like Wonder Woman anymore. And she leaves, instantly discredited. Yikes. Yeah. And I agree with her. I really like Wonder Woman. I think this is a great film. It feels in line with the Zack Snyder kind of look. And I know he produced it. I know he was very much hands-on and kind of guiding this. If you ask the Snyder bros, he basically made this movie. I'm not willing to go that far. I think he probably helped with some of the action and maybe, you know, some of the cinematography, you know, just like tips because James Cameron produced Alita. I don't credit him for making Alita. I don't think anybody else does either. What do you think, Sean? What are your thoughts on this? Yeah, I mean, I think it's so much better than I thought a Wonder Woman movie could be. Just the certain characters are tough to translate and the lady in the American flag swimsuit with a magic lasso flying around an invisible jet. Like that's tough to crack the toad. But how do you make that one feel quite right? And, you know, you can watch the 70s show and it's cheesy and they tried to do a TV pilot 10 years ago, about five years before this movie came out and it's dreadful. It's, I've watched it on YouTube. Oh yeah, I remember that, yes. Pedro Pascal, who's in 84, it's in the pilot. And Joss Whedon, you know, before being the nerd enemy number one when he was, you know, the hero of nerds, you know, he took a crack at Wonder Woman. He couldn't crack the code. So I didn't have high hopes for this one for a long time and they really managed to like find this great balance of strength, femininity, serious, but having humor that didn't sheepen the moments and things that like they felt kind of earned or they made sense in light of she's growing up in a society of only women and meets a man. They weren't afraid of leaning into female stereotypes without just just being female stereotypes. It didn't feel preachy or they didn't have to insult guys to make a point. And they could do things like she sees a baby and she starts just getting excited like, oh, the baby. It does this thing that is like a very common thing for women to do that feels so natural for her, but in no way diminishes her. She can still also call out all of the ways women are treated in society at the time. And it feels like, yeah, she could say that and it doesn't feel out of context because the society she comes from. And then of course, I think because they did have that Zack Sider influence on the action, which we probably had a hand in directing, some of that action and it is very cool. And one of the things that DC movies for better or worse used to do, and I would say for the better, is that they were actually movies that were saying something. And so it's a movie about man's inhumanity to man. And sometimes, you know, what the Zack Sider was, maybe they can get pretentious so they can be heavy handed, but there was a time where, you know, just because it's about a lady with a magic lasso doesn't mean we can't make a statement about life. And they said it during World War I, which was just this like very bleak, meaningless war. Absolutely. It's not, we're fighting back the Nazis. No, there was no real reason behind, it was a shit show. Yeah, it was like classic just yikes. Why did this happen? Why did all these people die? And you drop this optimistic person in the middle of it that thinks she's gonna save the day with her optimism and then realizes, oh crap, man's inhumanity to man is sick. And you go, oh, a movie that has CGI fights and has something to say, that's cool. Especially when you look at all the ones now that are just hollow. And this was only six years ago when that was what they were still doing. That's insane that this is only six years ago. It feels like 20, it really does. Yeah, I mean, I'm in full agreement with you. I really enjoyed this. The only thing that really sets it back for me is I think they went for broke in the first film for some reason and made Aries the big bad. How do you top Aries? He's the freaking God of War. So you're always gonna be dropping from there. And they did Aries as a... Yeah, like a moustachio twirling. And a reveal villain. So then it's like, surprise, it's me. It's me, it's me the whole time. And so it just feels like out of the blue, we're doing a big CGI boss fight. And so in the finale, the most interesting thing isn't the big fight. It's not anything Wonder Woman does. It's that Steve goes, you get to be the hero every day. I can be the hero right now. Let me have this one, yeah. And it's like, once again, it does nothing to diminish men, to prop up Wonder Woman as a Wonder Woman. It doesn't need to cheapen him. Doesn't need to steal his moment. And because of that, it's profound and powerful. And all around. So I think it gets talky in the end. And I think it's, the third act is the weakest act. But yeah, I think this is one of the best movies we got here. And Gail Godot, or however you say her name, I still don't know. I hear I'm saying it wrong, but I think that I'm pretty close. She's at her strongest in this film too. I don't know what happened after this, if it's just a directing thing. But I feel like she just keeps regressing as the character and just in general in her performances. But in this movie, she's really good. I loved her in this. And I wasn't, it was one of those things where you hear the casting and like the chick from Fest and the Furious who's 90 pounds soaking wet is playing Wonder Woman, but she sells it. And it all worked very well for me. I have this film at number three. It's my third favorite DCEU movie. Adam, I have this movie at number three. No way! What? What is going on? Some point in time, we're gonna have to start splitting up, but we'll see what happens. I just have to start ranking movies on my channel. I'm gonna change it to Adam talks about movies and it's just gonna be all ranking videos. I'm just gonna take your list and re-purpose them as my own. It's not a bad idea. Yeah. I think you got the market on that. I'll leave that to you. At some point in time, you should just take literally one of mine at word for word and just take straight. I'll send you over the exact B-roll that I used. Use the exact B-roll, the exact clips from the movie, the exact memes that I cut in and do an exact. How does this happen? What's up guys, Adam here. This is my opinion. This week, the latest movie, Aquaman 2 dropped in theaters. So today we're gonna stop and rank every movie. I don't think I can match your energy for that long a time. But it would be so funny. That would be hilarious. We don't say a single thing and wait to see the first person, like a prize, like some prize for the person that figures it out. It would be so fast. It would be instantaneous. Okay, now we have, here's where the wheels start to come off. Well, we had a good run. The screen behind me, of course, prominently displaying cinema's achievement to Man Justice League, 2017. Directed by, they say it's directed by Zack Snyder. That's interesting. Okay, wow. It says in the movie. What an honor. Directed by Zack Snyder. Directed by Patty Jenkins. I gave this a one and a half stars. Not great. I rewatched this movie recently and I was floored by how much worse it is than I remembered. I think I changed my rating actually. I probably had it at two and a half, maybe two. But after a rewatch, I couldn't believe how absolutely atrocious it is. It's a two-hour movie. That's the biggest praise I can give it. A lot of movies are very long now and I don't like it. I'm an old man. I need to tell you them to get to the fucking point. But this movie, you can tell it was cut up from a much longer film. Much like Batman v Superman. Here it's way more egregious though. The reshoots are laughable. Ben Affleck's shifting weight. Weight, skin complexion. All cards, his hairline's changing. At one point he's got Dunkin' Donuts coffee in his hand. He's just a sad sack of shit. My favorite is when Aquaman and him are having a conversation and he literally steps onto a green screen. But he goes into a sound stage. The sky is a completely different color. And then he does this really tepid dive. He's like, screw you Bruce Wayne. And he dives into the water. It's just this little, this little pond splash that someone had to edit in. Some guys like, oh my God. I don't know. We don't have any time this was supposed to be out yesterday. He just like splashed his bathtub and they edited in. I think the funniest ones is when you like read about the, even the, they bring a Joss Whedon to do these reshoots. And they're like, yeah, we want you to make it funny. And like you have to condense the movie. And then he shot it on like different film or whatever. Like that Snyder shot it on film with one aspect ratio. And then Joss Whedon comes in and shoots it on something different. Joss Whedon's on his iPhone? Joss Whedon's on his iPhone. He's like, okay, here we go. Okay, time for this crap. And there's just a scene in this movie where Mock Kent and Lois Lane are like talking about their dating lives or something. That's one of these reshoots. And it just feels like they're on like on this little set, like just talking about something stupid for two minutes. And it just looks- Yeah, because I think this was, I think the Me Too movement was like in high gear. So Joss Whedon's like, how can I wink to the audience that I'm like super progressive? So I quickly like threw this in where they're like, men suck, right? It's so bad. And it feels like it's straight out of a TV, a sitcom. Yeah, it really is. It looks like a sitcom. And just like, I remember when I first watched it, I think I gave it like, I think it was a C plus. So like negative, but mixed. It was like, it's fun to see them all on the big screen. Yeah, I was there too. I was there too. So like, it's just, it's nice. Like, if you're our age, the novelty of these was actually still strong even five years ago. Like this was still, team up movies was still something like, wow, they're all in the same movie together. That's gone now. They have aged like milk. Yes, they have. But that was like special. But even then I was like, this felt like every shot looks weird because either it was shot, like you have these things shot by Snyder that then they cranked up the saturation and the brightness to color correct it. And you can see like the different trailers, the original trailer when it's Snyder was like, it was blue at nighttime. And then you get into the Justice League version. It's like red. It's the color of Flash's outfit. That is the color of the whole final act of the movie. I just rewatched it and I could not believe how bad it looked at the end. I don't know if it's the transition to Max and they changed the colors again, but it looks way worse than I remember from watching this in 2017. I could not believe it. There's so much bad to say. Again, I just took all these notes on this film. I don't wanna completely give away my roast, but it's from front to back. Everything that could be wrong about this is, for instance, when Superman comes back and he has this little heart to heart with Lois, they're for some reason standing in a cornfield. Now, if you just pull back a second and think about that, they're not just on the edge of the field farm. They literally walked into the fucking cornfield to have a conversation. They're not in the driveway. They're not in the house. Why are they in the cornfield? There's no reason. It's so ludicrous. There's another moment where the big fight inside, wherever they're at, the Technodrome or they're in the sewers underneath the Manhattan or somewhere in the Ninja Turtle World. And they have this big quicksilver slow motion-esque shot where Flash tips the sword back to Wonder Woman. Why? What was the point? They're falling. She gets the sword and she cuts up one of the para demons, hits the ground, and then Flash immediately saves her. There was zero purpose for it, but to your point of just splicing different movies together, right before that happens, the Flash actually trips and breaks his ankle on the ground and like, oh no, he's out of commission. But then he gets up and saves Wonder Woman. What? That was the point. Yeah. It's the whole- And in that sequence, he falls down on top of Wonder Woman onto her boobs and Gald refused to shoot the scene. And so they had to use the stuntwoman film because she was like, no, Joss, I'm not going to do that. Really? Yeah. Why is it something else? I thought that it was originally, Joss just like filmed her laying down and he didn't even tell her what it was for. And then he put Flash on her later. But there was probably a lot of hearsay at that time. Yeah, so some version of it, it's not good. He didn't want to do it as the takeaway. Right, yeah, the takeaway, this was just like, what are you doing? This is your follow-up to Wonder Woman. Six months later, Flash falls on the boobs. Like really? I have to give away one more joke to speaking of sexualizing Wonder Woman even more so in this. I made a joke because there's several scenes in this movie where the camera is just all up in her. I mean, it's like shot under the bleachers, peeping on her, and her skirt at some points is like full cheeks out. And I made the joke that I feel like Whedon had the seamstress on standby and he's like, every day I want you to remove an inch from her skirt. And so that she's like full Daffy ducking it by the time this movie is done. That's how it felt. Yes, this to me beyond just the obvious, it's a Frankenstein movie that the studio demanded a two hour runtime. So it's an hour and 59 minutes and 59 seconds. They trimmed it as tight as they could. Beyond that, I just think it's a gross film that it is this. It's like a real thing like that. It's like when specifically you have it, you know they weren't happy, they wanted to go in a different direction and his daughter commits suicide and they're like, hmm. And they don't bring in someone that's like in any way compatible, like remotely compatible. This is never a rule. All the directors out there. Directors out there. And you think like, yeah, David Ayer, you know, I could see that, like they're different, but like they're not wildly different. Yeah. Like I remember the person that messaged me, dude, Joss Whedon is taking over to direct Justice League. I was like, dude, you're reading Lace Sinophiles. That's from The Onion. That's Satire. Joss Whedon is not gonna finish Zack Snyder's movie. That doesn't make any sense. They're not compatible on any levels. Their worldviews, the way they do character arcs, their humor, literally the cameras that they shoot with and what they shoot onto is not the same. And they did. Wonder Brothers actually did that where they were so stupid. So stupid that they went, well, he made the two Avengers movies that made over $1.5 billion. So I bet in six months he can fix our movie. And then the other part is that they didn't, so the CEO could get his bonus. They wouldn't allow them to push it back. That's really the takeaway every time with these movies when they rush them out is it so the CEO can get his budget or his bonus or they can meet their budget quota for the, you know, it's always a quarterly thing with stocks and all these things that I don't understand because I'm still a child instead of a man's body. But yeah, also we have to throw one final tip of the hat to that beautiful mustache, CG, just absolutely glorious. They did the same thing with, I mean, they've done this countless times. They don't give a crap is the bottom line. I remember X2, still one of my favorite comic book movies of all time, X-Men United. X-Men three, the Brian Singer was gonna come back and do it, but he wanted to do Superman first, Box needed to get a 10-pole movie out. So they rushed the shit out of that movie six months time, knocked it out, got Brett Ratner on board. I think Joss Whedon was doing the script at 1.2 and they threw that out. They should have thrown this movie out. Okay, I have this at number 13 out of a possible 14. It's the second worst movie for the DC movie. I have it at 14, I have it in the worst spot. This isn't a shocking one. We don't need to celebrate our likeness there. Okay, we are now at, dear God, we gotta go faster, Sean. I don't wanna- Yes, let's talk faster, yeah. Oh, we're- Oh my gosh, we got 10 more to do. Aquaman 2018, James Wan. This is a absolute mess. It's way too long. It has 13 plots going on. It's watchable, but I don't wanna watch it again. Jason Momoe is fine. Amber Heard is like, she looks fine. She does nothing for me as far as an actress goes. And I think that the Snyder cult is as big fans of hers as well, believe it or not. Yeah, James Wan, this truly feels like three different movies, not just from a script point of view, but from visuals too. I think James Wan felt like I got one shot to do an Aquaman movie. I wanna make every kind of Aquaman movie I can. I'm gonna have Pitbull in here singing Africa at some point. It's gonna be a buddy road trip film. Out of the blue too, you're just watching the blue. Just cuts too. Oh! What the bubba bubba bubba. Mr. World Wide. Whatever it is. Yeah, they're like Indiana Jones-ing it across the desert. And then there's some really beautiful cinematography where they go into the trench and you get those cool wide shots of the creatures. But then there's ugly CG green screen. And then at some points it's like the little mermaid. No, this movie is such a disaster from top to bottom. Go ahead. You know, I don't know that I could defend any of it. I think it's a fun mess. It's a movie that like goes for entertainment value at the expense of credibility or consistency. I think James Wan shoots the action well with the wide shots where you can actually see what's happening, long takes, which that shouldn't be something in these big budget movies. Like I can actually see what's happening in the action sequences. That shouldn't be a big praise, but it actually turns out it is. I mean, I think that it's just a movie that was fun to watch in the theater. But like if I'm sitting at home, I'm not like, hey guys, this is so an Aquaman. Yeah. And I know we're in agreement on this. I think most critics have reached the same boiling point. And I don't know if it's an age thing or if it just truly is cinema has changed so much in the last five or six years, but runtime is absolutely critical to me. I have a podcast coming out on it some Monday coming up. If this movie was an hour 45 and it just focused on like one plot, maybe it's the brother and the fight or maybe it's finding the mom and the lost wherever the hell she is with her crustacean armor. That would have been great. And because watchability is a big thing I take away from these. And I know that's definitely something that's generational. I don't think, I know my kids personally don't give a shit about rewatching anything. They like seeing new stuff and that's fair. But I like quoting movies. I like revisiting films that are done well. And so often these things just overstay their welcome. Aquaman is two hours, probably two and a half hours or something like that. And I don't need it. Highest grossing DC movie of all time. Yeah. Somehow. The foreign markets, they love the ocean. Come on, come on, every mom went out and every wife went out to see Jason Momoa. He's the, you know, women like that kind of animalistic, the bad boy, right? If you ask most women, They like them in movies. It doesn't seem like this. Well, yes, they like them in movies. If you ask most women, I think they would choose beast in beast form in beauty and the beast over the, over like the actual human version. There's something about him that's just so visceral. I get, I mean, I get it. Yeah. Okay, so you like it. It's fun. It's dumb. I put it at, where did I put this fucking thing? Number 11. We might disagree here. No, no, no, we don't. I have it at 10. That's awesome. That much better. No, no, we're right, we're right in line. So I tried to say, like at the beginning of this, I would guess there's an amount of just my raw enjoyment of DC stuff is probably more so of just, yeah, like comic book characters in a movie. I probably have more of that stuff in me. I'm not cynical enough yet. I was going to say, you're not as jaded and sad as I am. And that's why that's why you're doing this full time and I'm not. It's very true, but then again, this year and a few things are just, it's, I think I might be getting there with being like. Yeah. I saw a couple of times on X as we all call it now and not Twitter anymore, it's X for sure, that you were kind of getting dog piled a few times on some of your Marvel hot takes, which were not hot takes at all. Just normal takes, like just totally reasonable takes. But you did this to yourself, Sean. You cultivated an audience of fanboys who liked those Marvel movies and they don't know anything else. It's like, it's just as good as it ever was. You guys are just getting cynical. No, no, no, that's not that. Well, I mean, yeah, we are getting cynical because you can only watch the same movie so many times before it gets boring. So Iron Man is great. I don't want to watch Iron Man 30 more times. I want to watch a guy getting his powers and learning a lesson and fighting a big version of Iron Man at the end. And we've gotten that like five times in MCU at least, Shang-Chi and Ant-Man and then I can go on. Okay, we have Shazam. This is kind of in that boat that I was talking about. Very formulaic, boy becomes a man. He's got big syndrome. Yes. A much better movie, by the way. Tom Hanks, big, great look. 2019, David S. Sandberg. I know that director, but I'm not sure offhand what he's directed. He did the second Annabelle movie. Oh, God, Annabelle creation. The one that was like an old rickety house and there's like a girl in a wheelchair or something. I think that's creation, but I don't know. There's three. There's like two or three of them. They're all kind of dumb. I like Shazam. It's fine. Again, it's a little too long for my taste. But and I do think it's totally a little inconsistent. There's a couple of parts that are kind of like horror shows for a while. That's seen in the office. Right. Demons biting heads off and it's like, son, please don't kill me. I'm sorry. I was a bad dad. Throw him out the window. Ha ha ha ha. Yeah, business demons. And then it cuts to like Shazam drinking some pop. Whoa, we're excited now. Dude's getting his guts ripped out and feasted upon. And then they're like, let's film me going on this skateboard. Radical. Yeah, that was this. That was my big takeaway from the movie of like what really? Like I get you came from horror movies, but it doesn't fit in this movie. That doesn't fit at all. Like and I'm thinking 90 percent of this movie great for my kids. They'll have fun with it. It's immature. It's silly. So perfect. That's this great family movie. And then demons start biting people's heads off. I also want to say that who's the kid is it? Billy Billy Billy. That's Billy. I'm thinking of like the typo guy. Billy blanks Billy blanks the typo guy. Yeah, Stargate SG Billy blanks one. Yeah, Billy, I feel like the kid is a better actor than Zachary Levy. It's more it's more of a parent, I think, in the sequel. There's a couple of characters in these DCE movies that have to play teenagers. And I feel like they've never been around a teenager before because they play them like they're four. Hey, guys, what's going on? Like the like the Flash movie we'll be talking about as the plays the teenage version of the Flash so over the top. And I like that movie. But yeah, this was a little too long. Not bad, though. Not a bad flick. I enjoy it. My kids liked it, too. Yeah, I like the man of steel cameo at the end from the neck down, of course, because we hate we hate our Superman that we picked for these movies for some reason. That's where people get like, James, God, why is he doing this to Henry Cavill? Like, what are brothers has been doing this for 10 years? What are you talking about? Why did we not get Man of Steel 2 back? It's so weird. Why would Man of Steel 2 come out before freaking Batman V Superman? This should have happened a long time ago. I did a I did a parody like a short where I was just I put a phone on a table and I was pretending that it was a Cavill's phone and I just put a date on. It was like 2004. And then Zack Snyder is on the phone. He's like, Hey, man, congratulations. You're the man of steel. It's happening. And then it jumps to like 2007. Hey, we're doing BBS. It goes through this like chronic chronological timeline of just the highs and lows. You're back in your back. I got Dwayne Johnson on the phone. He's going to save you. And then, yeah, it's James Gunn. You're fired. It's just this absolute roller coaster. And what's so funny is it spans. Henry Cavill's been Superman almost as long as Hugh Jackman's been Wolverine, but Hugh Jackman's actually been in movies. Yeah, Cavill's just like off camera Superman. It's pretty depressing. Where did you put this on your list? I have it at number six on my list. I thought it was hard, Sean. Did you just copy my list? It's possible. I'm on six as well. I'm six as well. Wow. This is at some point in time, we got to actually split. Yeah, I think we need something to really shake up. Maybe a power dynamic that shakes things up. Isn't that what Dwayne Johnson said? Yes, I was expecting a lot more differences. And maybe they're about to hit me. I don't know. But yeah, I'm according to one of the viewers where we're like the yin and yang, right? I should have opposite lists. I'm reverse flash right now. Right, exactly. I'm just this optimistic, hopeful person, but somehow are looking the same. Let us Birds of Prey, Birds of Prey and the fantabulous emancipation of one Harley Quinn. What an awful mix of words this is. What a terrible title, gross. I got this at three stars. It's actually gone down for me, much like most of these movies have. I enjoyed this. I don't ever want to watch it again. It's another Shazam mixed bag for me where I feel like I know exactly where the John Wick team came in and helped with some of the fight scenes, and I know where they didn't. And the final act of this movie is a disaster. The whole Batman and Robin funhouse fight is like something out of a Batman and Robin movie. It's not good. But overall, I guess I just I'm a sucker for Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, so I'm a simple man. You put her on camera. Even when you dress her in what appears to be garbage, I'm still into it. I mean, they went out of their way to try to de-sexify her and make her look as miserable as possible. And it still works. Like, what is she wearing? What is this? Well, and I thought that they kind of like marketed it that way of like, like this is when you do Harley Quinn from the perspective of a woman, like a woman actively trying to if you ever see what Margot Robbie looks like normally, like this is no, this is Harley Quinn from the viewpoint of a woman woman that doesn't like other women that look good. Yeah, that's what it is. You're trying really, really hard to make her look very strange. Yeah. But she's also Margot Robbie. So I I I mean, I had a good time with it. It once again, it's not one that I like just throw on a rewatch a lot. But when there are all these people like this movie sucks, it's awful. It's manhating. Like manhating. I guess that's the internet supposed to say it's always that. No, I appreciated that it was street level. Like so many of these movies are just like, there's a skybeam and they're going to blow up planet Earth. And this is just we're in Gotham. There's a crime lord. And like it's normal stuff that I want more of that. So I appreciated that. And then I thought it was felt like like almost like a guy, richie, early guy, richie movie. It did have a little, yeah, nonlinear story telling people. Like some of the movie doesn't even make sense. Like, right, it's Harley Quinn telling her story. She is the definition of an unreliable narrow rate. It's it's supposed to be kind of ridiculous. It spends like three minutes watching her make a perfect breakfast sandwich. And it's it's amazing, too, by the way, the cinematography in some of this is really good. Right, wait, even to your point of like the action in the prison break is awesome and all these cool action shots. Those are all the ones in the trailer. Yeah, of course. Get to the third act. And if you just you watch it and just pay attention to everything. Oh, it's it's so bad. The ending is such a mess. But yeah, she goes like cocaine bear for a while and takes it in. She's like cutting limbs off. Again, this this does feel like another one of those movies that had maybe some influence from the studio trying to be Deadpool. Again, they put that hard R on there. So half the movie feels are the other half doesn't. And I mean, there is one scene in this movie that that lives in my head. And I see my son, my son watched this last year. And I totally forgot about the scene. And that's when he cuts the people's faces off like, oh, shit. Oh, God. Yeah, I don't care. I don't care so much about the I don't care so much about the swearing. My kids, you know, whatever they know, not to swear, but that was brutal. I totally forgot. Like, oh, God, he's going to be thinking about that for the rest of his life. Yeah, there's certain types. Well, so when I was so I'm like certain things I'm very squeamish about. Sure. And so when I was at elementary school, I passed out multiple times from we dissected an eyeball, a cow's eye in the fourth grade. And we said Texas. Texas Texas Chainsaw Massacre School. Legitimately, the road in front of my neighborhood where I currently live is the road that they're drive down in tech. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Yeah. And then the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. There's a bunch of shooting locations that are at the next city over like five miles down the road. It's where they shot it in the main house. It's 20 minutes. And then what location for Friday the 13th, the reboot is just five minutes the other way down that road to all these slasher films were shot right around. You're like in the background of half the movies just live in your life. Is that Sean Chandler when he was like eight? There I am. Is he dissecting a cow's eye? He's taking a cow's eye and I'm like, oh, a cow's eye. That's going to be cool. Yeah. Nope. Pass out behind everybody. And then I was watching Donahue and they were doing plastic surgery on someone's face on Donahue. What? Right. Right. TV in the early 90s. That's that's when they had like fear. Yeah. Fear factor. Joe Rogan's having people eat Meg live. Maggots. Like how is this scary? These people might just die. So I passed out in a kitchen and then because I got nervous about this, I watched the trailer for the movie Dark Man, where it's a lot of him taking, taking masks off. But so I see a guy taking a mask off. I recently saw someone's face being skinned while they're doing plastic surgery. Nicholas caged. So all I see is that I go and I passed out from watching someone take a mask off, which having now seen the not watch face off. Sean, do not watch face off. So when I did watch face off, I didn't watch it for like 10 years. So afraid. But all that to get back to where we're going. Yeah, that scene in Birds of Prey was pretty freaky for me, too. What a long walk and worth the trip. Just to loop back to say, I agree. You know, this is maybe why we have never communicated before. I feel like we wouldn't get anything done in life. Where did you put this? Oh, I'm sorry. I'll go first. I put this at number seven. No, no way. Are you serious? We've had we've had single digits with flops and then the same. Are you at seven? I'm at seven. This sucks. What a waste of time. You didn't even need to come on here. I could just do this by myself. I actually had a lot. I had it worked out. I was really hoping you're going to have this at least one lower than me. And I was going to go, that's because you're sexist. I was like, I'm going to go off on you. Like, I can't believe I came on this sexist channel. I can't wait to call you out on Twitter. This is going to be great. And then we ended at the same spot and canceled, completely canceled. All right. Well, that was done. We are I feel like we're going a little quicker now. We're over halfway. Oh, Jesus. Well, we might be sexist now. Wonder Woman 1984, the gift that never gave us anything outside. So let's cut to the chase here. Do you have this in last? I do have this in last. Why do you hate women? This is outrageous. I walked right into it. Walked right into it. You set it up ahead of time, even. Why do you hate women? Yeah, it's messed up. I mean, I guess I do if this is like the litmus test because I hate this movie. And upon rewatch, it was it was actual torture. It's almost two and a half hours long. I was finding myself pausing it every 10 minutes to just see how much was left. And I was I was doing these audible. Why did I choose to make this a roast video? Really bad, really bad. Um, we we went from a character who was incredibly charismatic, likable, strong, independent, basically everything a woman aspires to be. Everything I inspire to be, honestly. And then we we flip the script and now she is a kind of like miserable, uh, man-needing, weak woman who uses her one genie lamp wish to not just bring back her old lover that she knew for what, an extended weekend. How long did she know this guy? It's been it's been decades, Diana. Geez, she brings him back in another man's body, who I guess goes off into the like the void and get out. I imagine he's in get out right now. And he's everything that's sunk in place. Yeah, he's in a stranger things. I like to I like to think, though, um, that he comes back and he's got some weird World War One STDs and he has like stage one diabetes because of all the punishment that Steve did to it and such because at one point she wakes up and Steve's like, this is my third pop tart this morning. Just completely wrecks this guy's body and then just bolts like I'm done. I mean, like just even on that level of like thinking through the plot, the ramifications of what we're actually doing. And this is one of those classic plot points of all you do is you flip flop it. Yeah, flip flop it. Oh, yeah. And you say, yeah, what if there's a girl who's replaced, her body is replaced with the consciousness of someone else and his man is sleeping with the body of this other woman. Why did they need to even do this? Yeah, right. You could keep the exact same story and Steve's just there out of thin air. It didn't require a vessel. Well, right. No one's thinking through the magical logic. Right. Right. The magic of this. Like the magic of that makes more sense than the magic according to the necromancer. This just doesn't add up at all. I don't I don't really get it. Yeah, Pedro Pascal, he plays, I don't know, like a like a like a Donald Trump-esque type of character. Whatever this this window, like just salesman guy salesman who wants all this power and wealth. And what is his goal once we get past the beginning? Just more more. I don't know. He has a son and it that's supposed to be the thing that I guess we relate to with the character and sympathize with because at the end after all the chaos is done, his kid somehow was hiding out in Washington, DC, just off in the woods. And he's like, Papa, Papa, he's he's just out there. And Pedro walks out and he's like, oh, son, and they have this. I just don't know. I don't know how you got to this point in the script, Patty. What were you thinking? Right. I was reading something yesterday. They're like the sequel to like the one of the best female empowered movies of all time in the sequel. There's a literal cat fight as the third. Oh, my God, that's gold. I didn't I brought that up in the roast. Oh, there's a cat fight. I love that little cat fight. And as soon as you see it, you're like, oh, that looks bad. So bad. And they just they forced everything for no reason. Kristen Wiig, who plays Cheetah girl or whatever the hell. I don't know what she is. Cheetah or something like that. She she wants to be like Wonder Woman. So she does the she's all that glow up where she takes off the glasses and puts on heels and suddenly she's hot. Yeah. And for some reason, she gets two wishes. How does this? How does this system work? All they have to do is touch the thing. They don't have to say a chant. They don't have to perform a ritual. They just touch it and they're like, I want a coffee. And then, oh, here's a coffee. So she gets a second wish and she decides she wants to be an apex predator. And turns into this cat like a reject from the cat's movie. And it's really sad. Wonder Woman never uses her sorter shield. I guess she forgot them in World War One World. But she gets them back in Batman V Superman. The logic at the time was that Patty Jenkins wanted her to be more of, I guess, a peace keeping officer that doesn't kill. She's, you know, this joyous person. So she doesn't have her amulets anymore. Or she forgets that she has them. Her lasso does everything this time around. It's like Thor's hammer. And we find a way to have it in a visible jet. We have a sequence where they go to a museum. Oh, my God, yeah, they steal one. They steal a plane out of a museum. And as we all know, planes at museums have a fresh tank of gas. Of course. Yeah. And they just work. They just work. And if you were a pilot in 1917, you probably can fly a jet. No, well, no, Sean, no, no, I just rewatched this. OK, they purposely find an old, tiny type plane, like one that he knows the manual because he watched Top Gun back. Got you. Yeah. But what's really funny is they go in this plane and she's like, oh, no, we're on the radar. Our loud ass plane, you know, from the olden times. Well, thankfully, I tried to trick one time. It didn't work, but I rubbed my hands together and I made things disappear. She does that. She's like, oh, oh, I hope this works. And it works. It's the lamest thing ever. Why did Patty think she needed to force all of these dumb elements into the film? Like no one's no one's clamoring for the invisible jet to make an appearance. I understand that's kind of an oxymoron. But do I recall that the solution to the problem has her using the lasso of truth on a radio broadcast that goes out to all mankind? Yes, she because Pedro can be everything in this movie is a series of fortunate events. It's all convenience all the time. So Pedro goes to convince the president to give him all the nukes or something. It doesn't matter. And right behind him, there's this beautiful presentation going on about a new satellite program the government's working on and super secret. And so Pedro is like, this is exactly what I need. And so he's able to broadcast to literally everyone in the world at once. And they all give him their wishes. And Wonder Woman had a lasso and Gal Gadot just gives us beautiful speech about righteousness and doing the right thing and letting things go. And every single person on earth renounces their wish. Every one of them, because they had to all do it or it wouldn't work. It was beautiful, completely beautiful. It's probably the perfect film. Yeah, I have it at last. You have it at, I assume, second to last. No, I have it at 12. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, so this is where we've this is the furthest apart we've been. Oh, that's right. I had it one under you because you said because I hate women. Yes, of course. I hate women. So yeah, I have it. I have Suicide Squad and Justice League Justice League. Right. Interesting. Both of which also feature strong female leads. So I guess we're still all good on the women hating, I guess. Yeah, OK, that's kind of what I was getting. We're equal in there, which woman do we hate? Which one? Which one do we hate more? Here we go, Zack Snyder's Justice League. Look at this, three and a half stars. One of the higher. Yeah, I'm guessing we're going to deviate quite a bit on this one. Yes, I imagine so. Probably going to be this is going to be the controversial take. Yeah, this is where, yeah, fire, just the fight breaks out now. Would you like to speak your case first or would you like me to shit on it first? Yeah, I loved it. I was a sometimes it's tough to distinguish between just you're so excited a thing exists and it's so much better. But I like Zack Snyder and his. His strange worldview and his perspective on things is, you know, treatment of mythology. And so he gets this movie that's designed and allowed to be self-indulgent and go all out for it. And it's not in the theater. It's broken up into chapters. So it's designed kind of like episodes of television so you can binge it the way you would binge a TV show. Pause, go pee pee between episodes, get your new, more popcorn and pick it back up. You know, if they put it in theaters, it wouldn't have been the four hour version. But you're just able to tell this epic story where they're able to set everything up, all the little details. Everyone has a character arc. It's an important piece to play in the finale. And when you can see the bastardized version of Justice League, where they removed all of that and they tried to just cut between all of it and make everything happen. And you see it all of the tension, all of the set up. Yeah, it was removed. And so it's just intro to scene pay off next scene. And suddenly you see the version of it that sets all slowly builds through the pieces and even the the attack on Themyscara and the way that it plays out. I love that scene. It like in this one, everything happens in a manner where you're like, oh, they're trying to do this to stop this. And here they were able to do this. And it it's all set up and paced properly. Well, there's actual tension in this one. Right, correct. Like it just as a sequence, it's the perfect example of why Justice League as a whole doesn't work. Right. And with you on all of that, I'm with you on all of that. And so I just really dug that because it has an epic run time with all of these mini plot lines that they're able to properly build together when you get to the moments of revelation, even though you know what they are watching it beforehand. Like the sequence where they piece it together, wait a minute, in light of this thing and this thing and this thing and this thing and this thing and this thing and this thing. We're able to bring Superman back, who's maybe the one person that can stop this other thing. They played out in a moment where it's the same scenes in Justice League, but this one's actually set up. Right. And it's the culmination of the movie up to that point in time and the movie swells and you're like, I'm getting chills. Even though I knew this was going to happen, the whole movie. I knew this is where this whole thing is building towards. And then, of course, you know, you get into the third act and instead of the flash pushing a car as the setup for a joke that he's stupid and Superman's better than him. Instead of that, he turns back time to stop an explosion from destroying the Earth. Yes, that was the the characters definitely have stuff to do. Whereas in the Justice League, Superman shows up and everybody's completely useless in his it's just it's absolutely comical and they design it that way. They literally make it like flash this dummy over here. What's the point of the flash? What are you going to do? The flash goes to save that Russian family that for some reason, Josh, we didn't thought we needed. That was so weird. Let's make it personal. There's a family. This is a movie that has to be two hours long. They're trimming back the actual plot. So they added this one family. Yeah, but the flash goes to save them. He has a good five minute head start. And then Superman's like, oh, there's a disturbance in the forest. He takes off and catches up to the flash, who is way ahead of him. So they totally discredit flash. And he's and he's carrying a building. Yeah, he's carrying everybody. It's like, what's the flash going to do? Yeah, the. So I grew up watching the 1990s flash TV show. Oh, I remember that. Yeah. And so I was at a comic con that eats the bowl of cereal really fast. Yeah. Yeah. I recorded over my mom's copy of flash dance to record the pilot movie of the flash. That really happened. That's awesome. It's I met him at a comic con a few years back. And he told us and people like, what did you think about the Justice League movies? Like you could tell he's trying to be political. He's like, the whole movie treats the flash as a joke. Like, like my life has kind of been defined by this character. They finally put him in a movie. And the even in the finale of the film, he's only used as a punchline like this stupid guy. But he jokes about brunch, which is just a joke straight ripped off of a Seinfeld episode. So that was fun. But all that does it. And then you put you get to then this one of like, you like how crazy it is that there was better these better ideas that they're like, well, let's let's do a joke instead. Cyborg actually has a plot or like a like a narrative arc, which is nice. Anyway, yeah, I'm a huge fan. I appreciate all of that and I do agree. Oh, God, my screensaver went off. Hang on, let me get back to it quick. Hang on. That's kind of the ambiance of this livestream kind of just awkward. Yeah, maybe I should go to a different one. Hang on with me. I got a Harry Potter icon. That's how you know we're going too long when my screensaver is like, we're done. Let's do let's do Suicide Squad. Yeah, let's do the Masterpiece Suicide Squad. OK, anyway, as I was saying, I feel like, OK, first off, this movie is way better than the Jossus League. It's a movie. It has a beginning, middle and end. It's it feels Lord of the Rings-esque in scale. It's definitely a very big movie. It's very ambitious. I fucking hate that it's in four by three aspect ratio. It's the most pretentious bullshit I've ever seen in my life. I don't know what has a TV in this aspect ratio. No one has an IMAX screen in their house. No, no one logical reason. I had people bend over backwards like, you don't understand, Adam, it was shot for IMAX or getting the full frame. I'm not getting the full fucking frame. I cut off half of my TV. So like, well, you can have bars at the top or bottom. Yeah, they're going with the like the feng shui of the TV. They're not going against the grain. God damn it. OK. And and also it doesn't go with his other movies. It doesn't flow naturally when you go from two movies that are in widescreen format to the freaking box moving past that. I feel like every single step forward he takes, there's half a step backwards into this weird loony place. For instance, the bank scene with Wonder Woman, so much better, really cool. Yes. Once again, tension set up. Yes. And then she blows half the fucking place up for no reason. This is a woman who takes pride in architecture and, you know, history. And she's just huge. She the only it's a cartoon. The only thing left of the villain is his hat. It floats down. That actually happened. He filmed the hat going down. I was just waiting for a. There are so many moments like that where I will be completely invested and it does have steak, it does have tension. But then out of nowhere, Martha's mom, for instance. I'm sorry, Martha's mom, Martha, for instance, has this nice heartwarming scene with her son. And then she turns her eyes turn color. She's Martian manhunter in disguise as an elderly woman. Why? Why? It doesn't go anywhere. It totally discredits the scene we just witnessed. There's a scene where Flash saves a girl. This is maybe in real time, 20 seconds of footage that Zack Snyder slows down to 14 minutes because of slow motion. I don't get what Iris it's it's his love interest. They're well, that really goes nowhere either. Right. I mean, the flash, the flash man. Well, I mean, in this movie, it doesn't go anywhere. The girl we never ever see her again. She shows up in the flash. Yes, at the way end of the movie, she's like, hey, I'm here too. Every single thing in this movie is like that. It's too much Snyder. And I do feel like at some point he kind of did change as a director from the guy that I loved in 300 or Don of the Dead. And he went all in on the sucker punch style of Zack Snyder. And that stuff does not really work for me. It doesn't speak to me in the same way. And again, for everything he did right, which was a lot, and it is a watchable movie with some cool stuff. And it does make sense in its large scale. There's just too many little dumb things. And the final twenty five minutes of this movie needs to burn. It needs to be thrown in the trash. It's so embarrassing. There's like three different ending epilogue things. And they're they like are in competition to see how cringy and terrible they can get like fucking jokers in their back in the wasteland. Again, I was halfway in for my brother to come out of the bathroom. What did I miss now? Mira is there. She lost her accent. She has a British accent now or something. Kristy, she an armor. Batman's in the duster. I don't know why he's still dressed up as a bat. Now it just seems stupid because there's like nobody left on earth. So who are you? Who are you fooling, dude? They all know you're Bruce Wayne. Anyway, I could go on and on about this movie and what a clown show it is. But I also don't hate it at the same time. That's what's so weird about it. I I had a good time with it. I'm glad he got to make whatever this was supposed to be. And now we're done. Now we're done. I put this at number five. You got it at number one, don't you? You are a fucking Snyder as a true fan of cinema. Here it is. I have it at number one. I was going to do a spit take, but I don't want to ruin my stuff. Yeah, that's. Wow, OK. As someone that understands, they got to you, their arcs, they got to you in a cinema and that has been threatened by them many times. Blink twice if they're there right now with you. OK, well, you know, there is that. I can't say I can't say I'm not disappointed, Sean, but we had a good run. Let's go back and see what else we can salvage out of this. Now I'm trying to piece together your number one. And I'm assuming it's Black Adam. Gross, you have. Gross. Shazam, too. Now you're getting there. All right, we have the Suicide Squad. I'm looking at your score. I'm piecing this together. You're one of those people. You're one of those MCU fanboy James Gunn. Cheeto hates the sound of freedom. The Suicide Squad 2021. He did it. James Gunn saved the DCEU by burning it to the ground and making it like a phoenix rising from the ashes. This is really just a starter pack, I guess, for Warner Brothers to kind of test and see what this guy really can do when he doesn't have the Disney box behind him. And it turns out he can do a lot. He basically took the same character, dead shot, changed him a little bit, classed him up with Idris Alba. Basically the same plot. He's got the daughter that just that doesn't think highly of him. You know, he's going to prove his. This is not subtle. What happened here? Not subtle in the slightest. This is what we call a soft reboot. It's technically a sequel in the same way that Jumanji is a sequel to Jumanji or whatever the hell they call that. Welcome to the jungle. Like, come on, you're a freaking new movie. This brought over Amanda Waller, which I'm actually glad about. I think Vila Davis is so good in these movies. They brought over Boomerang to kill him off right away. They brought over, obviously, Harley Quinn. Yeah, I I freaking dug the vibe in this movie. It's definitely got a bit of a guardian style to it. Obviously, James Gunn's known for his music. He blends it in here very well. Unlike Suicide Squad, he doesn't just slap shit on top. He actually builds his scenes and storyboards them around his vision. Right. Well, and even is even to do a little rabbit trail on that. But like, he actually has a deep knowledge of music. Yes, if he picks a song, he really knows what he's doing with it. It's not superficial. It's not pandering to the lowest common denominator. Even to like, you know, pick on a totally different movie like Thor Love and Thunder. It felt like Tycho Waititi. Well, he knows Led Zeppelin and Guns N' Roses. Wow, where did you discover these two obscure bands? OK, seriously, Sean, there's a conspiracy theory. There has to be a thing with Disney movies now after Thor Ragnarok, where, you know, obviously with with now I'm forgetting the name of the song. What was the big song in Ragnarok? Immigrant song after Immigrant Song. I guarantee you, Disney started doing this shit where they're like, OK, if you want to be featured in our next big tentpole MCU movie, pay this much money and you can get a T-shirt in the film, you can get a poster in the film because Thor Love and Thunder doesn't just have one song by Guns N' Roses. There are two songs at least. There's a freaking poster on a kid's wall. He's got a shirt and he calls himself Axel. Give me a break. Yeah, there's something going on. There's something going on. But but it's it's the most superficial version of what James Gunn did really well. Right. Where like, even in an interview, James Gunn's like, yeah, I went into an interview with Michael Rosenbaum, who's a friend of his. He's like, well, you know my taste of music. You know, this isn't the stuff I listen to. Like he said that he's not putting in his favorites or like the two songs he knows, he's putting in the songs that he thinks fits the characters in the movie and what he's trying to do and what's brilliant. As opposed to, yeah, like everyone else just like Bohemian perhaps cares. Right. He cares. And he actually knows stuff. He actually do watch a peacemaker. Yeah, that scene with House of Pain Plain is just topped here. One of my favorite moments in a TV show in a long time. But this this movie is full of great action, some really, really fun characters. I mean, James Gunn is in his prime when he's making these ugly, disgusting creatures, lovable things you care about for some reason. I think Harley is top form here. And I really like the idea of, yeah, we're going to make a Suicide Squad movie where people are actually disposable. We're going to kill off the original team in a misdirect. And that's how we're welcoming people into this new wild world. I dig this movie a lot. And I'm very excited for what he has to bring to the DCU going forward. Because you're one of those people. I'm one of those people, Zack Snyder. And how dare you dare I'm anti Snyder, of course. Three hundreds, like in my top 100 movies of all time, by the way. I love that. And when it came out, I've never seen anything like that before. Just like so awesome. And like a movie with such a distinct aesthetic. Yes. Such a vibe to it. And I hadn't watched it in a long time. And I watched it whenever if years back, whenever Zack Snyder had two movies come out in a year and just watched all of his movies. And it's like this movie holds up. It's just so good. It's such a bro flick. And there's so many great unashamedly a bro. Yeah. And my wife loves it, too. Because she gets to see all these hot looking dudes kicking ass. Again, it's that whole animal vibe thing. But the dialogue in that is so freaking good. I hope you had a hearty breakfast because tonight we died in hell. And Gerard Baller is just selling everything. Wait, if you think about like he's like he'd been in movies before that. Yeah, he instantly became a big movie star. Oh, yeah. Like it was one role. And then he instantly stopped being a big movie star when he did like four terrible movies, Gamer and I don't know. He did a couple of rom-coms, ugly truth or something like that. Oh, yeah. Such a strange career that never never recaptured the magic of Leonidas. But anyway, so back to the suicide squad. What do you think of this movie? So I've got it way up there. Not quite as high as you or I've run out of top spots. But what I what I love about it is so much of the comic book movie genre now is inspired by the past comic book movie genre where we have a checklist of what you need in this Marvel movie of a checklist of what you need in a superhero movie and so I call it like basic creative inbreeding where they're just movies. Just they're coming from themselves. They're just all in the family line and diminishing returns. And then you start getting these freakazoid things eventually out of it. And then you watch the suicide squad and it's very overtly. The dirty dozen plus DC and you and with the concept of the suicide squad, you go, that's not like a far stretch. You go, that makes sense. Those two things go together, let's merge those up. And so it feels different. It's pulling in outside influences while being kind of true to other things. So it feels fresh, new, different. You have that James Gunn ability to take weird oddball characters and find their humanity like polka dot man. Somehow you you have like a heartfelt moment of heroic sacrifice from that man. Like that shouldn't work like a seven string comic book character. No one knows about right. Nobody knows an inherently stupid, weird, off-putting in the way that he like he's barfing out these balls and stuff. It's gross. It's disgusting. And he's weird, both as a guy and his powers are weird. He's got mom issues and and he finds the humanity in that of like the way that person would be alienated. And so you get to this and they take this line that's in the trailer. I'm a superhero. And when you see it in the movie, it's so profound. Yes, it actually means so much because of that gift that James Gunn has of fighting the humanity and the weird and taking these ensembles and squishing them together and somehow like, you know, Guardians of the Galaxy were sea list characters and all of a sudden they're the most lovable characters. And like right now in the last since Endgame and besides Spider-Man movies, these are the like these are the A list now is Guardians of the Galaxy. Oh, yeah, Guardians are so good. I love those movies. And also just look at the difference a director makes. Rick Flag is in both of these and he is atrocious in series. He's like whining. Like when I saw him show when I when I heard he was in this one, I was saying, what, why are we bringing Rick Flag back? First off, his name is Rick Flag. Secondly, he sucked in Suicide Squad. He's getting his butt kicked constantly. And he's whining about a girl. It's like this mopey guy like, oh, my girlfriend. She played around with magic. June Moon or whatever her enchant the enchantress character's name is. Yeah, I love this. I have it at number one, number. No, I'm guessing you have it at four. We'll say four for today. Oh, no, is it lower than four? Now, it for four can be a faithful real answer. OK, that's fair. That's not. Yeah, OK, I will expand in the near future as we only have a few options left. We do only have a few left. You're thinking what could be competing for some of those higher spots? Well, certainly the next one that we're going to talk about, I imagine the power dynamic has shifted or whatever. What did he say? What was his line? Something like that. I mean, I think it was that the rock power shift DC. It was like some super like stupid thing. Oh, the hierarchy of power in the universe is about to change, brother. That's a good phrase. Hierarchy of power. It certainly did. It certainly did. We I don't like this movie. I think it's it's really dumb. I do think it's, you know, it's a watchable. It's watchable in the way that maybe you have nothing better to do on a sunny, Sunday rainy afternoon with your kid and you want to entertain him for a little bit. But outside of that, I just feel like this movie came out in twenty twenty two, but it feels like something that would have come out like alongside Jonah Hex or or Ghost Rider. And because Dwayne Johnson is such a big star, they were able to pump more money into a script and make it seem like it was this monumentous, amazing thing when, in fact, it's really just got like a rip off X-Men school and characters with a rip off Superman character set in the most green screened bland city I've ever seen. That's it. I liked it, too. I thought it was great. This is actually my number one film. I decided it was a mystery. So these is actually an eleven. This is number one, of course. I had a lot more fun with it, but another one of those movies very much like Aquaman of like I had that. I enjoy playing with my DC characters in the movie. So I just have more fun. You like the skateboard, you like the the kid in the movie that that's what really grounded it for me. I like the Black Panther triangle thing they were trying to do like the Wakanda Forever. This is the sarcasm coming through. This is where we're getting the the competition. And then my halo forms above my halo coming out as a generous person that just these people worked so hard on this movie. How dare you treat them this way about this? They were like a long time to make, right? Why don't you make a movie? Why don't you make a fucking movie? I love that. That's my where's where's your script? Could you really do better? Come on. Hey, hey, show me the movies you made. I'm sure they're great. You just wanted to be in this movie and you're jealous that you didn't get cast for it. That's it. You cracked the code. So my son is a big fan of the rock. So went to go see it. It was just a lot of fun to watch the movie with him and see the big grin on his face. You know, I call them Taco Bell movies. They're cinematic fast food that like my taco, my my tacos from Taco Bell are always soggy. It doesn't stop me from ordering them every Sunday and dousing them in Diablo sauce. So that's what this is to me, a movie that like on no level could I defend this. But for me, it's very consumable, just fun stuff. I get it. I totally get it. And I think I'm definitely harder on this film because Dwayne Johnson's shtick of being Dwayne Johnson is wearing very thin on me. And again, because the script feels like something much older. He was cast 15 years ago. He was cast in like 2008. And so there's a side to that that's probably like, that's kind of real. Yeah. I mean, and that's that's kind of the whole jaded cynical thing again with the like you're saying with the MCU. We've seen this stuff so many times that the sheen is gone now. And again, Black Adam, if you don't watch a lot of superhero movies, if this is one of the only superhero movies seen or and that's that's fair. A lot of people have only seen they they're not like us where they watch all of this trash, I would I would definitely score it higher. But because I've been here so many times and I know Dwayne Johnson's thing, it's just not doing anything for me. Yeah. And I think that's where a lot of these movies kind of fall into that. Or this one, the next movie on the list, they fall into that category of OK, it's moving fast. It's delivering all the people in capes flying around skyscrapers and buildings are blowing up the novelty of that. It's it's fast and furious with with a cape on. I didn't feel like concern for anyone. I didn't I didn't really understand the plot that much. I didn't care about it. I put this at number 10. You're at like a like three. No, no. I have it at nine. OK, we're back. We're back, baby. There's we had a couple where we went off there for a little bit. The parents were fighting for a little while, but we're back. We're OK now. OK, we're we've made up. Well, I was racing there a little bit. Yeah. You know, it's not often when I watch a movie, put out a review, and then immediately think I was maybe a little too nice about this one. Shazam, Fury of the Gods is that movie. I was my kids, we enjoyed it, and then I let it sink for a little bit. And I thought, did I really like any of that movie? I don't I don't know if I did. I have it at three stars. That's maybe generous. This one more than any others. I found myself kind of hating Zachary Levi or Levi, whatever you say. I didn't like him in this movie. He really annoyed me. Billy has matured even more than he was in the first film. And then he, for some reason, regresses into this man child that I don't think he was ever in the same room as the kid actor because there's nothing alike. It's lost in translation. The movie is it's it's fine. A lot of big explosions. Honestly, it's pretty much Black Adam again for me. Yeah. Similar sorts of thoughts of it's just one of these very mediocre blockbuster films that delivers jokes, delivers action set pieces, but we've seen this before and we've seen it better. Yeah. And in the case of this movie, it's the specific gimmick of Shazam is the whole point is he's a kid that's a superhero. Right. And then the actual plot line for Billy is he's a legal grown up about to go off on his own. That's a lot of the movie. And so it like the whole point is, yeah, he's actually grown up. Right. You graduated. It's time to go off on your own. And they're trying to figure all that out, what that looks like. Well, one of the one of the kids because they're all Shazams in this one. Yeah, all of them are a whole crew of them. One of the girls is playing herself now in the film. Beautiful actress. But it's so weird because Billy's not much younger than her. So it's like, why is she staying her own form and why do the step parents not recognize her on TV, by the way, that was also weird. But Billy's still turning into this middle aged guy. It's it's it's and also to your point about, you know, it's fun because it's a kid turning into an adult, the big thing, but he's a superhero. That worked really well in the first one because he's going to high school. They're, you know, they're up, right? There's shenanigans are screwing around. But in this one, that whole thing is kind of pointless. The whole transition doesn't matter. Right. It doesn't play into the actual plot. And so then I kind of dug the on a maybe the story villain side to it, getting into the lore of Shazam. I was like, I think some of this maybe works a little bit better than in the first movie, it's like, oh, my dad was a jerk. And that guy turned me down to be Shazam and have powers. He didn't think I was worthy. I'm going to dedicate my life to sticking it to my dad and sticking it to that wizard. The villains are better for sure. You got Lucy Lou in there. I'm not going to complain much. I love Lucy Lou. So I think like on that level, there's some things that kind of were better. But the actual film itself, because the central gimmick doesn't work. Right. It's gone. It's not it's no longer big as a superhero movie. It's just Zachary Levi acting too immature as a superhero. So it just doesn't quite work the same. And so you're kind of left with generic superhero movie with once again, superheroes with capes flying around in city, punching bad guys in capes and stuff like that. Yeah, it's not big anymore. It's almost freaky Friday because these characters don't have a connection to each other, these actors don't seem to be in sync at all. So I put this at I've got it at eight. See, I've been at eight. Yeah, I've been at eight. Is it still at eight or is that where you had it before? That's where I had it. Because you said you read about it. So we're all I I'm I mean, I could move it down. I don't think anything underneath of it, I would say, is better. I'm not obviously not as high on the DCEU in general as you probably are. So yeah, I have a little bit. I have an 11 on mine. So but I would like Black Adam, Aquaman, Shazam to they're all kind of like in that. Yeah, they're they're all kind of like tied in that like they're fun, but just kind of mediocre too much stuff going on or whatever this. If I really wanted to make this as true to form as I could, I would just look at the runtime on these movies and which everyone's shortest moves up in the list. Moving on, we have we're almost to the home stretch. I should remind people and Sean, I know it's it's late. I really appreciate you trooping through this. You don't have to stick around, obviously. But if you guys have questions, super chats are always appreciated. I answer them all at the end. You can also give me your your ranking on the DCEU or whatever you want to do. Shoot it at me. It's a it's a tough it's a tough hobby slash job for me to have. I have a full time job and kids and all that stuff. Sean knows how it goes and you to pay out not great, not so great. Let's go to the flash. I obviously like this movie quite a bit, gave it four stars. It's an easy movie I could also make fun of. But I think that the things that don't work don't take away from my overall enjoyment, I think it's got a solid script. It's got plenty of fan service. It's got, you know, Keaton back. It made me actually like Ezra as a character where in previous Snyder versions, I just thought he was kind of meh there. This one gave me emotional stakes. Kara was great. I don't have many complaints outside of obviously the superficial stuff. It looks laughable, CG babies and the microwaves. And I found this the context to be very fun and engaging. So, yeah, it looks like a Pixar movie from Toy Story One at times. But it's it's working for me. I agree. I saw it at one of those early fan screenings and then put out my review. It was very positive, like, yeah, a good time with it. Like, I bought into the actual journey. I think the story of the flash is stronger than the story of Spider-Man No Way Home, which is like, oh, I want to get into college. Oh, fully agree. I'm actually that's actually fun that you say that. Have you always felt that way? Because I've been I've been bitching about that since day fun when that movie came out, I'm like, listen, the movie's movie's good, but the story is terrible. Yeah, it's the little moments that saved that film. Yeah. Yeah, like I from before it came out, I was like, oh, is this really the setup for the how they're going to do more in the trailer? They're like, oh, hey, can you get me into college, buddy? It's like, sure, bro. Oh, crap, I forgot to say let this person. Oh, crap, I'm like. And they were kind of and you were like telling yourself this has got to be misdirected, right? That's got to be more to it. Yeah, no, they even it's more insulting because at one point, Dr. Strange is even like, did you think about asking the dean? He's like, yeah, blow explosions, people come in from different places. Yeah, yeah, we rewatched it last week and I'm thinking like it's a hard watch. I think it's what a odd blend of like, oh, this is so cool. We've got three Spider-Man and I love these little interactions. And there's a bunch of like powerful moments and there's like so many great things. Yeah. And why did they not put the same amount of passion into the plot as they do into like this, like the actual interactions? I don't know. It's so weird. And why did they just save all the good stuff for the last 25 minutes? Everybody was going to be in love with these characters coming back. Make it the whole damn movie. You know, make make we wanted to see these guys together for so long. Whatever, onto the flash. So all that to say, I put up my review from one of those early fan screenings that, oh, what's the flash and with like really positive on it? Went to go see opening night. I was like, no, I really like there started the buzz started to shift by opening night. I was like, no, I think I really dug that. Yeah. And you know, the people I I saw it with the kind of the fan meet up and they weren't as hot on the movie as I was, but they were still like, yeah, I dug that. And then the next two weeks on the inner, well, I guess the next last two months on the internet have been like, the creepiest movie of all time. It's a total disaster. It's a nice like I'm like, yeah, well, the cider came out, the cider called came out. They were leaking that he leaked that whole damn movie on Twitter. And I'm like, like doubting myself like, did I see a different movie? Yeah, it's a movie that like, I just watched it two times. And it was like, there's an actual character arc for the central character. Yeah, there's like a really potent moment movies or moments at the end of the movie where he's with his mother and having to make choices. They actually matter, matter in it, like and I've read Flashpoint before and the way that they incorporated the Flashpoint plot line into the DCEU. I thought was clever and smart. It's not beat for beat, but it has the moments and it has the elements. And so I just thought it was like really well done and the CGI sucks. The CGI is terrible, but it doesn't it doesn't really detract from me outside of the babies looking horrendous. But it's also one of those rare movies where they bring the dust off that cape for one last ride. Harrison Ford style and they got Michael Keaton. And it's I think one of the only times they don't treat the guy like shit. They don't they don't make him a punch line or they don't make him die on a rock during a Skype call on a different planet. Well, the you know, what it's they they they introduce them the same way all the other ones do of like he's got the beard and he's retired and then they give the reason he's retired. Gotham is a great city. They literally think they they like it's like the one Batman timeline where Batman succeeded. And so the reason that he's kind of lost is because he did it. They gave him a big joint. It's not like all the other ones. It's like, well, Han Solo, Indiana Jones, their deadbeat dads, right? They're alcoholics. Oh, my God. Yeah, Han's still out there avoiding, you know, child support payments and smuggling. It'd be really funny if the camera like pans over and the toilet flushes and Joker comes out like, you know, like cleaning his hair. He's like, oh, hey, guys, what's going on? He's best friends with Bruce Wayne now. But anyway, like I watched it. I was like, yeah, like it had the fan service and it felt more earned. And like I that there's a it's a bit odd in the third act where the final reveals make you be like, OK, like was everything we just did pointless or it's part of the character. Like it's a weird it's kind of a weird way to crescendo your movie to be like, we're going to undo this entire timeline. It's weird and awkward. Like when you stop and think about it, that's fair. CGI, objectively, it's terrible. But if you buy into the movie, you don't care. And I bought into the movie. And so that's where I'm at. Yeah. And I wonder, like I've wondered how much of that is is a certain generational aspect to it of if you're a little bit older and you've lost some people and you have a little bit more of that thought of like, what if I got a little bit more time? Yeah. When you're 25 or 20, that's not as those thoughts don't cross your mind quite as much for as many people. I don't think it's as common. So it's not as relatable. Michael Keene is not Toby McGuire and Drew Garfield. So like some of those things just didn't connect with people. And so all of a sudden, they're paying attention to the terrible CGI, which is it is terrible. And nobody's argue. I mean, I don't think there's a single person that's going to die on the hill and say, oh, Flash has like top tier. The director, it was intentional. Yeah, that was hilarious. The director said no, he's like, oh, no, it's supposed to be kind of like a fever dream through Flash's eyes. That's why the stuff looks unrendered. And yeah, that's why there's pixels popping through the. No, that's why when he runs, it looks like he's doing this and just floating on top of the ground. Hey, I thought it was at least it looks better than whatever the hell he's doing in those Zack Snyder movies. I thought they fixed the run a little bit from that. I just don't think Ezra knows how. I don't think Ezra's ever ran a day in his life. And I guess no one wanted to show him how. Or they have whatever. And after playing the part for however many years, still hasn't figured it out. Still hasn't got there. You know, got to get a got to get a Nordic track at home. Run on that thing daily. We are at the I mean, we're really done. Oh, I'm sorry, where do I have this? Sean, Jonathan, I have this at. Number four. OK, so we got a little bit of a. A paradox here paradox. Um, on the notes in front of me. Kind of like the movie has a paradox. A bit exactly, exactly on the notes in front of me. I have the flash at number four. But because you were so positive on the Suicide Squad and I didn't want to seem too different from you. I said I put the Suicide Squad at number four and move the flash down because I was scared of my honest opinion about the movie in light of how much it's been overhated. And I didn't want to be too negative on the Suicide Squad. So because of what I said earlier, I have to put the flash at number five. My actual notes in front of me have it at number four. That's awesome. That is so I'm glad that you even have that small level of respect for me to even think I would be shaming you. You're like, oh, God, he's been like raging on the D.C. He's going to destroy the flash. Flash, it's like, no, I'm trying to like look like count the numbers of like, where is he going to have the flash on here? Because like, man, like Black Hound's number four on the list. Off camera, you have like all these charts and schematics and rubber bands pointing to things like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, what is he doing here? I've actually just I've just been lying about my order. Everything is like a seven or an eight. No. OK. You had three for this or five for this. The camera, what you said? No, you're four. Three, four. So on my notes, it's a four, but because I put Suicide Squad at four, it's at five. OK, but that's also like some of that recency bias. I haven't watched Suicide Squad in a little bit. And so the more recent film was The Flash. And but that's where I need to rewatch both of them, both The Flash, because like I've been doubting myself so much ever since the Internet. No, don't tell yourself. I've been honestly, I've been in. You said you saw it twice already, right? Yeah, I saw it twice. I don't tell yourself after two. I I've been very excited to actually. I'm actually bummed out it's not on Max yet because I went to this one stag. And I know my kids both wanted to see it. So I'm just waiting for it to come on Max because I'm actually excited to get out again. I think it comes out in September, right? I'm surprised that haven't already put it on. They started push. They started pushing them back further. I guess they realized, wait a second, when we release them two weeks after the theatrical, people are starting to now go to the movie. Or on the same day. Or on the same. Well, yeah, of course, which for the entire year of 2021 was the same day. Ridiculous. There's consequences. Some dipshit comes into the into the studio and he's like, all right, hear me out. We release Kong versus Godzilla day in day on Max and in theaters, Mortal Kombat day one in theaters and HBO Max, Wonder Woman 2. Like that person should be fired 10 times over because he lost that company a lot of money. All right, we have are we done? Was that it? That's I mean, we're caught up on the ranking, but we got our blue beetle discussion. We got blue beetle. OK, let's let's make this snappy because I know it comes out tomorrow. I assume you're going tomorrow to watch it. I am. Are you taking the kids? Did anybody care? Whole family whole family is going really. But so we're big. Well, several of us are big Cobra Kai people, so it's the star Cobra Kai. So. Oh, OK. I heard that shows really good. I never watched it. Yeah, it's it's tough to like understand why it's so good from the trailers. Yeah, but it you have, especially in the first season, you have this very politically incorrect Johnny. OK, and it and it does like this. It's the same character arc, same journey as the karate kid, right? The Hillary Swank one, I assume. Of course, except Johnny is the Mr. Miyagi and so Johnny is like this politically incorrect kid of the 80s and one point time he gets some students and one of them is I think I'm on the spectrum and he goes, you better get off that right now. And he's like making fun of teenagers like like physical appearance and stuff. And it goes for it. Yeah, but it's also like it's a redemption arc. But he's a jerk, but he actually cares about them. But it's like very much he starts off as an alcoholic. That's a deadbeat dad. Sure. And he's discovering how to be a better father, both being the surrogate father to this one kid, as well as he has his own son. And then you have Daniel LaRusso has turned into like this middle aged douchebag that is using his karate kid reputation to like sell cars and totally out of touch. And he's kind of lost his way. And so you're they're both kind of jerks, but they're both kind of right in their own ways. And it goes how to do all the serialized melodrama just right. And so you're like it works so much better than it should. And then by the time you get to the second season, just getting wrapped up into this whole world and so yeah, like I've just thoroughly enjoyed the entire run. Certain seasons are better than others. There's definitely times where you're like, come on now, we're stretching this out. Come on now. But and they find ways to like make the karate kid three better. They like they find ways like they pull in characters from like bad movies and like they like pulled in most of the characters from karate kid three followed plot lines up from that. And like, like, do you remember karate kid three? I just remember Hillary Swank is in it. And that's the fourth one. That's four. What? Yeah. So there's the first one, of course, the second one. They go to Japan and he has like he like slaps the guy around. Yeah. So then that guy comes back in some episodes or actually comes back for a whole season. But so the third one is like a rehash of the first movie, but they had this character named Terry Silver, who's like it, who's like an evil Cobra Kai guy that is like a stereotype of an evil businessman. And the guy playing Terry Silver is supposed to be a Vietnam vet. But in real life, he's a year younger than Malfuratio Machio, so he's supposed to be playing this guy that's 20 years older than the karate kid. In real life, he's younger than him. And so it's like he's clearly not old enough to be playing this character. He does look older than Ralph, but like he's like on the phone and he's like, just bury the toxic waste in the middle door. I remember that now that you say that. And he's like, we're going to make so much money. It's like so over the top. And in Cobra Kai, he's like he has these interactions with people like, man, I can't go back into this world of karate. Man, back then I was hopped up on so much cocaine. I was like, they call out all the way. They rode one it. They rode one it. They find these ways to explain why there's a ridiculous plot point. We should probably cover this vent that can blow up the whole thing with a shield or something. There's no time, John. Yeah, that sounds amazing. I assume that Jaden Smith reprises his role as well from the definitive version of the karate kit. Well, the show hasn't finished its run. Each season they bring new people in. OK. So we haven't seen Jaden yet and we haven't seen Hillary Swank yet. And apparently, I guess she was pregnant over the last couple of years or some window in there. So they keep trying to get her. They keep trying to find a way to make her have an appearance in the show. But all that to say, even my daughter is like, she's like, that's one of those. She shouldn't be watching it. It's not for elementary school age. Well, Sean, it's honestly, it sounds like no one should be watching it. It sounds pretty sexist and racist. If you ask me, I'm not supporting some of these characters. Pretty overtly sexist and racist at the time. And that's why I'm shocked that the show hasn't had any like pushback because like that it hasn't been canceled. There hasn't been any sort of anything on Twitter because the first season they go all in. Yeah, they allow the star of the show with the redemptive arc to be all the things you're not allowed to be in the real world. Now, the real world right now. This is the exact stuff that Twitter's like, how dare they make that joke? It's because it's not like I think it's because it's not a Disney property. So people aren't feigning outrage for no reason. Yeah. All right, let's go to. OK, so Blue Beetle, you are you guys are jazzed about this then because of the actor, basically, I assume. And not because it looks pretty terrible. I mean, it looks the trailers make it seem very much in the vein of the mediocrity of Shazam to Black Adam of like, yeah, it's fun enough. There's a little bit of a Shang-Chi action mixed in, although I like Shang-Chi quite a bit. But this this doesn't look very good. There's even stuff like he cuts a bus in half, which is a really specific, really specific thing to do. They cut a bus in half last year in Doctor Strange, too. Yes. And so like something like that. They're like so specific. And they cut a bus in half in Shang-Chi just going to, you know, the other the other way. So it's like it's a really specific thing to like. I haven't ridden a bus in 20 years. Like, it's not like like a bus is a common thing in many parts of the country. Or bus is getting ripped in half in these movies. Then there are plane crashes in Suicide Squad. Right. Right. Three helicopter crashes in that film. So in the course of a half hour, three helicopter crashes. And I don't know if you make anything of this, but like the early reactions were like all positive. No, I don't. Those are all bullshit. Yeah. I assume you probably be like, oh, cool. The early reactions, man, I'm just for it now. I can't wait. I I actually do a segment and I noticed you do it too. I assumed you copied me, which is fine, because I'm, you know, I'm obviously the forefront of YouTube and everything that they do. I do a segment on the live once in a while where I go through the Twitter. I call them the fake reactions. Obviously, they can be real. My my stance is if the movie is not out for another month and a half when these movie reactions come out and I look at the profile on 70 percent of them and they're complete like Stan fanboys of that specific property or that group. Odds are they're not the kind of person I'm really going to listen to for a judgment call and they may have credible takes, you know, like the movie might be fun and explosive and exciting, but they're never going to have a bad take on these early reactions. It's always super positive with maybe one little sprinkling of a half-assed negative criticism. So that's that's that's where I'm at on it. But yes, you're right, the early buzz is very, very good. Yeah, I it's tricky because like being in the world of criticism and stuff and getting to go to the early screenings. And I'm not like an L.A. where you see stuff way early, but I see it before it comes out. And you have this side of the Internet that they're all paid off and critics and it's like that's definitely not the way this works. But it's also there is a there is a side to it of corruption when you get into the the influencer side to it of where you're invited, getting invited to certain events, specific types of premieres and things like that. And you're invited to cover it positively. Correct. You get goody bags. You get access to other screeners. You get good favors with Disney or whoever. It's it's it's pretty easy to spot, honestly. And yeah, obviously, there's going to be a Sean Chandler mixed in once in a while with the early reactions. But I don't think even you go to those ones. You go to the more like professional. Like I meant press screening, actual. Yeah, these are not the same thing. We think it like you're going to the world premiere of the film. Yeah. So you're like going to an event and you're standing there doing the rock chunks and walks by and he's like, hey, what a selfie. And he's like, exactly. Do you think you're going to have a bad night if you're doing the rock Johnson just took a selfie with you? Right. No, John Campia goes to those. And I don't ever listen to anything he says. Based on that, like I saw you on the red carpet taking photos with Tom Holland. I'm pretty sure you're going to love the film. He was right. And so the factor that there's people that are watching it in the best possible context and one of the reasons they're getting invited is because they tend to be very positive on these things. And the part where you start getting into real complicated stuff is we're in a world where influencer critic, there's too much overlap. There's overlap. And there's quite a bit of overlap. And it's the first time ever I've had overt overlap for me is that I had I was reached out to from Warner Brothers to go see an influencer screening of Blue Beetle tomorrow night. And I was in there and it was like, we need you to post the three Instagram pictures and it was like you're covering the event. Yeah, you're talking about it a lot. And I was also invited to the press screening. And so I like I was like and I got invited to the influencer one first. I was like, I'm not going to RSVP to that. I'm pretty sure there's going to be a press screening. So then I RSVP to the press screen. It was like, I'm I'm a critic. I'm not an influencer like that. I'm a critic. But there's that overlap. And so you have people that they write tweets really wanting to get the poll quote. Yep, it's always the poll quote. And you and it's it's really tough because you don't want it like there's like like all my friends have had poll quoted things before. I've never been poll quoted because any time I put out a tweet, it's always this is great. This is great. But and even as someone that's too positive, even as you can see it or too positive, I enjoy some of these movies too much. I have too much fun with them. I'm trying to be fair, even in my fanboyism. So this is really good. But some people might like and I've always have that other thing to try and be fair and balanced to all you all the people that aren't just too jazzed about these movies like me that have a little maybe a little bit more of a cynical side to it. Like, yeah, I want to be able to give a recommendation that filters out my fanboyisms that's useful. Warner Brothers doesn't read mine and go that one right there. Let's poll quote that guy. That's that's making he is clearly a fan of it, but he also is being honest. He's being balanced to the stake on it, and he's not using hyperbole. He's not using great buzzwords that poll quote. And so and so is the Little Mermaid. So and so is the capital. I.S. is the most stock generic things I could possibly ever see. My favorite, whatever. I forget the guy's name, but there's a guy that back five, six years ago, whenever they started really doing these influencer poll quotes and then they do the articles where they pull all the first reactions. He was like, they're not even reading. What people are writing now. So then he writes these reactions. He hasn't seen the movie and he just writes one sent two sentences that are the stock like this is a true work of art. This movie proves the comic book movies can be real movies. Two Batman movie with no pants on and you can see his dog. It's literally that overt of two sentences that are just the cliché right, right. It's a boilerplate. Just boilerplate. And then the third sentence is always something that just any but like it's really blowing chunks next to me during the movie. And then it closes out with another boilerplate sentence. It was so funny because every single time these roundup articles would snatch him, throw them in there. And he's side by side with all of the usual suspects with their their ones post that stuff. And then you have this guy saying crazy stuff. That's awesome. I am. Yeah. All that to say, I'm really excited for bloopie. You won me over. You won me over. No, I don't have any. I don't know who this character is, which sometimes is a is a pro, kind of like with Guardians. I didn't know any of that. I'm not like a big comic book person. So, you know, like I'm a little down on DCEU, but I love a lot of movies. It's not just it's just not superhero stuff is my forte as much. I'll go to it, of course. And, you know, sometimes I going in with a little bit of a chip on your shoulder or maybe thinking it's not going to be great. Turns out for the best. I remember seeing Speed Racer in theaters and that movie was just getting shellacked when it went out. Terrible reviews. I took my wife kicking and screaming and we freaking loved Speed Racer. So we could have a Speed Racer situation for bloopiedle. Do you think it's going to make money? The last couple of DCEU movies have bombed severely. Excuse me, sir. Oh, excuse me. James Gunn said that bloopiedle is the first DCEU hero. He said that, sir. So this is not DCEU. This is DCEU. This is if the movie makes money, bloopiedle's DCEU if it loses money. James Gunn never said that. I think he's just he's just keeping his eggs in a couple baskets. Yeah, you know, he wants to be able to move forward, obviously, with this film, but then we also have Aquaman 2 coming out. What is going is James Wan directing that one? Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, so like I I know two guys that watched Aquaman 2. Yeah, April of last year at a test screening, two different people. And at that point in time, I believe Michael Keaton was in the movie. And then they did reshoots. They put Ben Affleck in the movie. And so then they did a new set of test screenings. And then they removed all Batman from the movie. Sure. And they did another turn of test screenings. And so it's a movie that in not quite a suicide squad or justice league kind of way, but it's the same crap. It's getting band-aided together. That there it's a movie that. First off, Aquaman way overperformed. It shouldn't have made a billion dollars, obviously. It shouldn't be the highest grossing DC move of all time. That's weird. I would compare it to Captain Marvel in terms of revenue, right? Like this movie is that just the right moment, the right time, right place. Yeah. Weird how well it did. Yeah, the sequel should have been like James Wan. You can make seven malignant movies if you rush out this movie while the iron is still hot, please make this movie. But instead, it's five years later. Yes. And even the movie like they shot like I just took like people. They were doing test screenings a year and a half ago. And the movie doesn't come out for another six months. And there hasn't been a teaser or anything. I think we see one single shot. And I don't even know if it's real. It might be just a photo shot for two years ago at DC fandom. They put out a behind the scenes deal. Yeah, two years ago. And we don't have a trailer yet. So it's just so weird. So they're going to they're going to like do the Simpsons on this Aquaman, too. And the end of Blue Beetle is going to be a credit scene. And they're going to have Aquaman say, OK, I'm going to my home planet now. And then they'll put Aquaman died returning to the Atlantis. And that'll be it. They won't even release it. It's not a bad idea. Yeah. And that's just waiting too long to put it out. Announcing you're resetting the universe anyway, when we all know. Wait, you've got a you've got a year's worth of movies shot. And you didn't shoot them. You didn't write them or shoot them to be the end. Yeah. Overtly, you didn't do that. And before the flash comes out, they're like, oh, yeah, I mean, if it makes a seven hundred million dollars, we're going to do a sequel. What are you talking about? You're resetting the universe. Like, what are you talking about? Yeah, well, so Gunn, Gunn did say something in this. Again, I think this was hedging his bets. He did say in that announcement video he put out, you know, like six months ago or whatever, how he was taking over and all these big plans. One of the things he said was Snyder's universe is still very much intact. And it's going to be called Elseworlds. Didn't he say that? Elseworlds or other worlds. Basically, it was him going, listen, we're moving forward with what I got going on. But if for some magical reason, these movies start making a bunch of money like the Flash because it was great, he said. He'll just keep going with those two and they'll have like the Batman two coming out and then they'll have the Snyder stuff coming out. And then they'll have the James Gunn stuff and everybody will be happy. But yeah, these are bombing. So I don't I don't see that happening. Yeah, I don't I don't imagine it's going to happen. I'm putting on a little show for the comment section that are curious about what I'm drinking. Oh, we didn't know. So I tried to have a you can learn a lot about a person's character based on what they're drinking. I have a good old fashioned Coke on the rocks. It's my go to I literally built a monument of of sodas before we started filming. So I'd have like a, you know, nice display here. And then because of the way this is cropping things, it didn't you could barely even tell my diet soda addiction problem I have. But you're a diet soda guy. That's interesting. It's because I drink so much of it and I'm getting old enough that I'm vain enough that I don't want to let myself go. So I mean, I've heard I've heard that the diet is just as bad, if not worse than than regular sugar, sugar water. Yeah, but it doesn't have calories. So even if it's going to destroy my system and give me kidney stones, but at least it doesn't have calories calories are a myth. It's not real. Dry lands of myth. It's not a myth. I've seen it at my mother and sister desperately ridicule me for drinking diet. Wow. I mean, you're just you're a secure man. There's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that at all. I used to be big into fresco years ago. So anyway, as soon as we finish, I'm going to go downstairs and have a big bowl of ice cream. Yeah, that would be great. I do like a nice sugar, like a snack of cereal. I'm a big Apple, I'm sorry, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios guy myself. Nice little meal. OK, so Blue Beetle, you you're super jazzed. It's probably going to be your favorite DCEU movie from what I'm gathering because you have a bias because of the actor from the show. I think it's probably going to be a hot messy shit. But we'll see. It could be great. I how long is it? Wait, how long is this movie? Please tell me it's under two. I am I am begging you to be under two hours. There's no they don't put that on Letterbox. That's kind of disappointing. We could Wikipedia says one hundred and twenty seven minutes, two hours, seven minutes or twenty seven hours. Movies already had a seven point nine on IMDB. So that's that's legit. Yeah, two hours and seven minutes. We had to just skirt over that two hour mark, didn't we? No, had to just punish me more. OK, well, yeah, I'm not I'm not thrilled. I don't think it's going to do well. I think it's going to bomb. I know they're really pushing the whole, you know, first lad in superhero. That's great. I'm all for that. But I still need the movie to be good, right? The representation stuff doesn't mean Dick, if your movie is not good, right outside of that. Yeah, let's go to. Do you want to stick around for Q&A? Are you going to go have some ice cream? I'm I don't have anywhere to be. OK, I'm unemployed, so I can sleep in tomorrow's latest. Sadly, I have to work tomorrow. I work from home, though, so it's not terrible. All right, let's go to the. I've been watching through the wrong turn movies. Oh, which it's. Sorry, it's probably the worst franchise of all time. Just shockingly bad movies and. Um. Almost intentionally painful to watch. Just awful, awful, awful. Are they? Well, there's several I spit on your grave movies. I don't know. Wow. Yeah, I haven't gone down that path. But the first one was trash, so I didn't even go to the other ones. So by talking to you, I'm going to be able to avoid having to watch a wrong turn movie afterwards. That's that's nice. How many are there? There are seven wrong turn movies. There's no way they went to theaters. How many of them went to theaters? Two, one, two. OK, so the the first one, of course, that, you know, it's a fine product of its time. Slasher film with Eliza, so that's fun. And then they did like a small release for a remake one that they put out. Year or two ago, wronger, wronger turn, the wrong turn. So it's like a reimagining. So it's actually like a pretty different plot, but the same. Oh, you turned the wrong place and you found weirdos. And there's five direct to video sequels that are unbelievably bad. Just or or probably as bad as you'd imagine they would be because you wouldn't be stupid enough to watch any of them. I've watched all of that. You're a glutton for punishment. I have a ranking idea for you, actually, Sean. OK, gotcha, gotcha. I think I seriously think it's a good one. I don't know if you've done it before, but you should do a ranking on the top worst movie franchise. I don't know how to title this. You're the good one at this. But basically the worst naming conventions in trilogies. So you'd have like the fast and the furious fast, too fast, too furious. You'd have Halloween followed by Halloween, which is actually Halloween, too, which is a sequel to Halloween, but not the other sequel to Halloween. You know, you have the predator, predators, predator. I mean, the world is really your oyster with this. And I think I think you could have fun with it. So that feels like that would be a tier ranking of the bad names. Yeah, a tier would be good. So then you say of franchises with the worst. Naming conventions. Yeah, yeah, like tier ranking, franchise best in the West. John Wick, I would put somewhere in the middle, because they're just that's a shit show, too, because you have John Wick, John Wick, Chapter Two. Then for some reason, John Wick, Parabellum. Parabellum, one of the one of the highly relatable words that normal people have, Parabellum. Parabellum, it's like my favorite word, Parabellum. Very useful word for. And then they just went back to John Wick, Chapter Four, because they're like, well, where do we go from Parabellum? No word can top it. We peaked with Parabellum. We peaked at Parabellum. Yeah, Fast and the Furious, obviously, asked here because of just the brilliance of that naming structure. Yeah, I think you'd have fun with that. OK, let's see what we got. We have Tony from Hack the Movies. So he's got a good channel over there. I'm not sure if you're familiar with him, Sean, but Hack the Movies, they they used to be part of Cinemassacre with Angry Video Game Nerd, you remember him? Angry Video Game Nerd, he was the thing. Yeah, so Tony worked on Cinemassacre and then he branched off and did Hack the Movies. I've been on there several times. I love the Adam Does Movies live show exclamation mark for $2. Yeah, because that's how he started. Sean was here. You know, he's kind of a he's kind of a big deal in the space. So I was a little I was a little scared, a little timid, you know? Didn't know how to talk for a while. You know, Cody's been on twice and I call him Corey constantly. I used to actually do this show with a co-worker back in the day for many years. His name was Corey. So it's just like this awful Freudian slip. Hack the Movies is back again, promoting his channel brilliantly with the $5 Super Chat. I always say our child's name will be Adam Does Movies and girls always go, this is our first date. Who is Adam? OK, that was a nice walk. Thanks, Tony. Make sure to go subscribe to Tony at Hack the Movies. Nada for $1.99. Thoughts on Ryan Gosling, rumored to play Batman. Man, what? Baby Goose is rumored to play Batman in what? Yeah, Batman brave in the bold. Oh, really? The well, so first off, I think this is one of those just, you know, we've got this covered. Like one of those websites that a website makes it up and then seven other websites report on the made up thing. And like, well, look at all these websites reporting on it. But like it's one of those. This is not anything remotely close to a real thing. Well, that's pretend it is. So what would you think if it was real? So I don't see it at all. I don't like I don't remotely see Ryan Gosling as Batman. You know, he's done kind of. He starts like tab dancing through a scene. Like he's done drive and he's done brooding things and he can get into shape, but just even on like his his face. Yeah, I can kind of see the cowl. I can kind of see the mouth. He's got a good. He's got that kind of like rippled lip look, Michael Keaton style. Yeah, I don't. This pyramid of drinks. Just drink a mid. But yeah, I am. I just don't see him like as Bruce Wayne. I just don't I don't see it at all. Like of all the people out there, I just don't. So you have this is completely unrelated. But do you use your same streaming camera that you use your show camera? Are they two different cameras? Same. What are you what are you using? This is a Sony A6400. Oh, it's a nice camera. OK. Yes. So I for a long time at a Canon M 50. Yeah. And that's what I actually back when I bought the Canon at 50, I was like, going, think, should I get the A6400? Just you have to buy the lenses separate and everything. So it's like the extra cost is like, I don't. And I only got this one so that I could do live streaming with. Yes, not just like a Logitech webcam. And the first time I hooked it up and did one shot without setting the settings, I was like, oh, no, this is my camera for everything now. Like it instantly took over. It's a beautiful camera. And it like your picture quality is great. I love the the soft focus on both the foreground and the background. I appreciate that. I yeah, yeah, my buddy had a Sony camera and he was saying how it does. You can do live streaming with it. I'm like, that's poppy cock. I have a fucking Canon rebel seven eye old school. And that doesn't do. You got to have that thing. Battery operated is such a pain in the butt. But yeah, you can. That Sony charges right into the camera, doesn't it? Again, I have the the camera is pretty much always just hardwired on a stick above my monitor and cable coming out of it into a cam link. And it's it's just that's how I do everything. Nice. I I prefer kind of like seat of your pants setting up every time, just a complete shit show like the mics falling on me, cameras, insanity. Yeah, that's where I like to live. I did a lot of that until about a year ago. And it's like got this thing. And it's like, this is well, actually, that's not even entirely true. All the way up until the beginning of this year, I had the tripod when I shoot my videos here in front of my monitor, like literally this awkward clunky setup. That's what I have through this through this. I did a I was a real rejects. Greg from real rejects invited me over to his house to be on a live stream. And I was like, what, Greg, really? They got a million subscribers and did this live stream. And it was like the simplest of things. He just had like a just a little bar that put the camera above the monitor. I was like, oh, well, that makes more sense. Yeah, it's like the sort of thing that's like not brilliant at all. It's someone that knows what they're doing. And yeah, I bought one of those. And all of a sudden, my desk doesn't have a tripod in the middle of it anymore. That's awesome. Yeah. You'll have to share that link with me because I'm doing this the tripod thing instead of I have like duct taped lights on the walls and no, not that bad, but it's it's it's it's embarrassing. So whenever I stumbled on this setup, like I just have this one key light right here and then this camera that actually has good color pickup with vibrant colors and it doesn't get washed out by me shooting lights behind it to give me backlighting just everything is always always made really good cameras. Always been a fan of theirs. Anyway, Nada. Yeah, thank you, Nada, for the super chat. Sorry, we don't have more exciting news to offer as far as baby goose as Batman. I don't I've been like there's been too many times where they make a casting choice. I'm like, oh, that's stun casting. Colin Farrell is the penguin. Like I keep it to myself because almost every time it works out and it's actually a really good decision. So I actually I give it up to the except for I take that back. Tom Holland as Nathan Drake was a terrible choice for the most part. Yeah, that that was one that they just clearly they didn't. It's Sony Sony. Sony has Spider-Man, Spider-Man is Tom Holland. All they know everything leads back to Spider-Man with us. And even the the weirder part is it goes back like 10 years that they've had been trying to do this uncharted movie. And 10 years ago, it was going to be Drake. And then they went, we don't want to lose you. So why don't we also miscast you as Sully? I never liked him as Drake either. But yeah, it would have been better than freaking right. It would have made more sense than him is Sully. Both of those are miscast. But yeah, weird. Yeah. OK. Jan Rose with two dollars says Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman. That's right. Well, she was. I don't know if she is anymore. But I get what you're saying, Jan. Thank you. Seems like they don't know either. Contradictory room. I guess Gal Gadot's turning into Dwayne Johnson, where they have this. You know, they're like, if I say it, maybe it'll actually happen. Dwayne Johnson is like, no, no, Black Adams do a great. It's the number one movie in America. We're going to have a bunch of them. Let's fire in the next day. What do we got here? Jane Rose, I always say Jane, Jan Rose. Back again, five dollars super chat. Thank you. Justice League is one of the worst superhero movies I've ever seen. And what a shame, too, because I loved Justice League growing up. She's being vague. I don't know if she's talking about the Snyder cut or the just Sweden one. I'm going to assume she means the Snyder cut. Yeah. No. This sounds accurate. Shadow humor, five dollars. Thank you, Shadow humor. Blade is still my favorite superhero movie. Hell, yes. Hey, Sean, I'm sure you've ranked them, but quickly. Blade, where do you stand? What's your favorite, Trinity, I assume? So I think Trinity is a very fun, terrible movie. It is. And it's especially once you watch the interviews with Patton Oswalt talking about his time making the movie. And he's in that. Oh, man, you haven't watched it. I've seen Trinity when it went to theaters and I never looked back. But I don't remember him in there. Yeah, he's one of the night stalkers. Oh, like he's like the guy in the chair. I know Parker Posey's in there and there's like dogs with mouths that open like those Reavers, which I was done at that point. I'm like, this is this is terrible. So, but yeah, Patton Oswalt is in it. And there's some interviews of him talking about it. The guy's like, so you're in Blade. Is that exciting? He's like, no, no, no, no, I wish I was in Blade. Blade's awesome. I'm in Blade Trinity. He's doing this before the movie comes out. Oh, OK, I was going to say, oh, my God. After the movie came out, he goes, man, that movie was a disaster. Now, friends with the director, he'll agree with you. Everything was a disaster. Wesley Snipes went crazy and he was in his trailer, smoking weed all the time and he was demanded people call him Blade. And he wouldn't talk to the director. He would just write cards to communicate with the director. Which is funny, because he only had like 40 some lines of dialogue in the movie. So you'd think you'd want to talk more when he wasn't filming. But that's because he wouldn't show up. He was supposed to have more dialogue, but he wouldn't show up. And so a lot of his stunt double shot half of his stuff and they did wide shots. The last shot of the movie is him laying on a bed and he refused to open his eyes. And so they CGI'd eyes open up to him. No, what? You can look this up. Last shot, I like CGI eyes and he's in a moron. And you just see like the worst CGI eyes. That is awesome. Because Wesley Snipes sabotaged his own film because he was like really, I know he didn't want I know he didn't like that they added Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, yeah, that's so that he just tanked it. Yeah, he's done. That's freaking gold. Well, that movie sucked either way. But yeah, that's that's a show anyway. But Blade one and two are pretty well tied for me. Yeah, that I agree. I tend to I like to a little bit more. But I think I like one a little bit more because I like the investigation aspect of it, where you're kind of like learning about this world and your failures. Whereas the second one's a little bit more streamlined. But I think I appreciate the fact that it's very different. So it complements it without competing with it. I love the well, I love Del Toro and his vision that he puts on things. But I'm a huge fan of that 2007 ish CG transition to real human thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so fun. I wish they did it more. They did a lot of the Spider-Man movies. You know, he'll come down in a real pose and then he'll like jump fast. And they always like speed it up because they're trying to mask how, you know, unpolished it is. But Blade Two was the king of that. There's yes, it was like like early enough in that process of doing that, where you're seeing like real people doing sword fights and especially snipes and it's so clearly him as a real martial arts doing cool stuff. And then he does like this double back flip, double back flip flies ten feet up in the air. Well, the shot when he he runs and he does that like spiral flip onto the motorcycle then pulls out the like zipline thing. Oh, that's so good. I love that movie. Those movies are awesome. Thank you, who brought that up? Shadow humor. Thank you for bringing that up. Kyle Nelson with the 199. Nothing just silent. He's like, I feel bad for you. Here's some money. Shut up. Thank you, Kyle. Oh, but then he's back. Now he has something to say with the 499 super. The first one was a test and now he's ready. The next Friday, the 13th is in October. That makes sense. That makes more sense than releasing Haunted Mansion in August. What is your favorite Friday, the 13th? That's for either of us to go. I'm not going to lie to you. I haven't seen many of them in a long time. And the first one I watched a few years back on Rocktober with my family, and it really has aged pretty poorly for me. The original Friday, the 13th? The original Friday. Yeah, it's absolutely not a classic. Like it's overtly a Halloween. The writer was told, go watch Halloween and find a cheap way to do that. Just do that cheap way. I just wasn't into it. I think 6 is the one where they realized this is stupid. And so it's self-aware. OK. And so it delivers all the kills that you want, but it has some humor and self-awareness. And on its own joke. And then some people hate it, but the remake, it's not like this is a great film, but none of the movies in this franchise are like. And don't they turn them into like a pedophile in the remake? That was the one thing I think people hate. No, no, no, there's Nightmare on Elm Street. Oh, I'm sorry. Nightmare on Elm Street was like, oh. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what it was. So Friday, the 13th, it adds some, because it's platinum dune, some goofy teenage tumor into it, and they're smoking dope the whole time. But it just has a better aesthetic to it, 21st century production value, and people getting chopped up. And then, yeah. And that's number six. Well, there you go. No, no, no, no. So six is back in the 80s. The remake is from 2009. So those are the two that I had. Normally it was the top, I think. Gotcha. Well, there you go, two for the price of fun. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Watermelon, what is it? Barnacle. Watermelon Barnacle, $4.99. Thank you. And then, of course, appropriately, a watermelon barnacle photo, I guess. I've been watching Adam since 2015, and Sean, since 2019. This collab was been well-awaited. That's verbatim. I assume he meant was well-awaited. Thank you very much. I hope that it didn't disappoint. Well, and we've been going for three hours, so. This has been an idea. Something we've missed. Let us know that we can do our little show for you guys. Now that it's after midnight, and I'm tired, and my inhibition's gone, I can do something. Whatever would normally not say or do. I can just let loose now. The halo is off. Hey, let's debate turning red real quick. Oh, god. That was your worst take ever, turning red. I didn't connect to the little girls in the film. Shut up, Sean. I'm going to get off Twitter for the next two weeks. What have I done? Oh, my god. Kyle Nelson's back, baby. 499, I double-dog dare you to tell us which 80s movie is as gay as a fanny pack. Anything with John Travolta, I would assume. Trying to think, like a Saturday Night Fever. What year was that? That's 70s. That's disco. Oh, that's like 78, I think. They did a sequel, though. It's the lone road and directed called Staying Alive. Staying Alive, yeah, Staying Alive. Well, that's probably it. That's probably the one. Top Gun with that volleyball scene. You know, I had never seen Top Gun until, I mean, I saw. How? I saw when I was a kid with my dad, so I don't count that because I don't remember shit from it. And so I watched it before Maverick came out. I loved Maverick, by the way. But Top Gun, I just, and I'd seen hot shots, probably 500 times. So I wasn't familiar enough with it based on that. But yeah, Top Gun, I was just not feeling it all. I thought, wow, this movie is very, very homoerotic. I'm like equal parts waiting for these guys to throw fists as they are to make out with each other. And yeah, the sexual tension was palpable in it. They should have just gone all in on it, honestly, because that was some funny stuff. And Ice Man's the hero in the movie. Tom Gun, Top Gun, Tom Gun's character. He's the villain, Tom Gun, yeah. He's the villain of the picture. So I'm a little bit, you know, more nostalgic to watch. That's one of the first movies I remember watching. Yeah. The earliest childhood memories of watching a movie is watching Top Gun and my parents gets to the, take my breath away, sequence. And my parents are like, hey, get out of here real quick. Get out of here. Like, what's going on? What just happened in the movie? And then, Hey, hey, hey, they're trying to distract you. Hey, hey. What's going on here? Whoa. It's not tons of nostalgia for it, but yeah, it's such an 80s product. And then Top Gun Maverick, like somehow makes like this really like solid blockbuster that's a follow-up. Yeah, they basically stopped rebooting it and they did it right the second time. Yeah, right. It's like, wow, how did you do that? Yeah. Yeah. We're going to get an actress that looks a little closer to Tom Cruise's age, not one that looks like the mom in the first film. We're going to make some actual cool dogfight sequences with a plot that I can understand. The first one, I don't even know what the fuck they're doing. They're just training. They're just training. And then out of nowhere, something happens. Yeah, he maybe graduates, he maybe does it. And they're like, hey, there's bad guys out in the ocean. And so then we'd like rush over, head it up, and he's like, I don't know, I don't know. Can I do this? Can I do this? And then he does it. And he saves the day against someone. Someone, the Miggs, Miggs. But that song, you got Kenny Loggins in there. Yeah. Okay, where am I at? I was so dumb as a kid. This is a real thing. We had the vinyl of the soundtrack for Top Gun. I thought that Tom Cruise sang all the songs because he was the star of the movie. And I guess I thought the lady saying take my breath away is like, okay, she's the lead singer of Berlin, of course. That's how things work. I mean, sometimes it is how they work. Depends on, you know, Greece. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, you know what I know. I actually watched Greece with my family recently. I hadn't seen it in a long time. I was never as high on Greece as some of the other members of my brother and stuff. But we went on a cruise and they had a Greece Broadway thing. And it was fantastic. And the kids loved it. But what is it, Zuko or whatever? Johnny Zuko, fuck his character name is. I was just like, this is no Travolta. Kids, you can't like him. You don't know what you're missing. This is no Travolta. And so he came home and watched it. And yeah, Greece is awesome. That movie holds up really well. I liked it a lot. How'd you like that walk? Okay, Kyle Nelson for a 199 Super Chat. Do you like the 1997 steel movie with Shaq? Well, who doesn't? It's a timeless classic. It's right up there with Kazam or Shazam, whatever it is. What is the genie one, Kazam? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, Shaq is terrible. So bad. Yeah, so I watched it for the first time. Why? Well, I guess, so when the Suicide Squad, because I'm the ranking guy, so I try to do my epic rankings. So when... I'm sorry, what were you ranking that had Shaq? Because steel is a DC property. So it's all DC movies. So were they trying to base that off of like man of steel? Was that some sort of a weird spin-off they were doing? Or is he an actual character? So it's John Henry Steel. When Superman died, they did the reign of the Superman. And so then there were kind of these four supermen and one of them was like a clone, one's a cyborg, and one of them, John Henry Irons, Steel. I remember that. The guy that makes the big metal hammer and sledgehammer. He looked a lot cooler in the comics. Yeah, and then they did, on Superman and Lois, the CW show, he's on there and he's basically Iron Man with a hammer. And he's pretty cool. Yeah. Shaq, however, probably not the right guy to start. Remember the video game Shaq Foo? Oh, I remember. I remember. I watched the hot ones with Shaq, because there's a meme of him making funny faces and like, well, my kids are like, the kids think of memes. So then we watched it and then we were like, let's do the history of Shaq. Here's Shaq Foo. And we, yeah, we went through the whole history of his rap career, his video games, all of it. It's very amazing kind of life that he's lived and a lot of really everything he puts his name on is kind of a seal of perfection. Yeah, he's gonna run for like the sheriff of a city. He's planning on doing that in 2024. Does he own the city that he's running for? He's like a volunteer officer or something like that in the city and he wants to run for office but he was too busy back four or five years ago to do it in 2020. So he's like, that's a thing. He's like this guy that, yeah, he's basketball player, rapper, video game, commentator, entrepreneur. He sells like human growth hormone supplements or something like that. He shows up in my feed all the time like, here I take this and I got great growth hormone levels. You Google all this Shaq shit. So now he's like, he's like in your purview constantly. Just trying to figure out how you go down these rabbit holes of stuff. Like what, how did I start getting that many Shaq ads of him with his shirt off on top of bills? Does not compute, does not compute. They said throwing you George Foreman grill stuff and they don't even know how to make you out anymore. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's amazing. Okay, master sergeant with a $5 super chat. SUP, one, number one, Snyder trilogy, number two, Wonder Woman, number three, guns, thus suicide squad. The rest are one ops and tied at 13. Yeah, master sergeant actually, he's a Patreon that's having me do the roast of I believe, Justice League. And that is a beautiful script that I put together. It took me an hour and a half to record it. The editing is gonna be very fun on that. I look forward to that. I'm glad I have a full-time job and decided that roasting movies is what I should be doing with my free time. Okay, thank you, master sergeant. One final super chat, Kyle Nelson again. Shout out of a cannon. Why are critics so sensitive about CGI? So I think, I don't know, it's the critics so much as the internet. And I think it's the, I would guess that it's probably the under 30 crowd that have been raised on like modern day TV shows. Yeah. Like you have like secret invasions, six episodes, $200 million budget. And so you kind of get raised so much on just expecting CGI to be crazy good. And I think some, like there's no excuse for a movie with a budget of $200 million to have a CGI that's that bad. And I think some of is also when you just, it feels like it's getting worse in it should be. Oh, it is absolutely getting worse. You look at even those, the first Transformers movie. Well, that's a classic example. That's where I was about to say, Pirates of the Caribbean. I mean, Pirates of the Caribbean has freaking top tier CG that Davey Jones. 20 years ago. Yeah, Davey Jones looks insane. And I think it's a lot, a lot of it has to do with obviously the overtaxing of these studios. Another thing is the overreliance on CG now. They're pushing out what five times the content that they were doing, you know, because of all these streaming services that have all these deals. And there's only so many VFX shops out there right now. Yeah. It's just because you have a ton of money doesn't mean there's more VFX artists. And it doesn't mean there's more top tier VFX artists. And it doesn't mean that there's enough top tier directors that have that skill set of just knowing how to incorporate these two things and how to respect it. Like, there's a- And it's applying demand. So, you know, Weta Studios isn't gonna take the first job that falls in their lap at this point. They're gonna take the best paying job that falls in their lap. And like you can criticize a thousand things about Michael Bay and I have, you have. But the guy also knows how to like shoot certain seeds. And so you watch him blowing up these buildings and it looks like Shia LaBeouf is in a building that's collapsing and being eaten by a gigantic robot. Like it's not realistic at all, but it looks grounded in our reality. And then you watch the Marvel movie where Scarlett Johansson is falling out of the sky and she's sword fighting and it does not look grounded in any sort of reality. And- Yeah, because they've got, again, Michael Bay knows how to shoot action. He was doing it before they even had the CG to work with. And so even in the cases where he knows he's gonna have fake giant robots, he'll still put his actors on a platform that's moving around. He'll still add air to, you know, like blowing fans on them. And often now, I mean, God, Thor, Love and Thunder, they're scenes where not a single thing is real except for these actors. Even they're not fully real. They're armor is fake. Their helmets are fake. Right. Their abs are fake. It's so far gone from giving you anything to connect to in a scene that, again, that's where the stakes come in. I don't know what to connect to in this moment because everything is clearly half ass thrown at me. And so I get it. I get the criticism for sure. Yeah. And that's where this comment came out when we were talking about the flash. And, you know, in our cases, we connected with the story so we weren't bothered by the superficial stuff. Right. But there's no excuse. There's no like $200 million. And it's a movie that they were test screening it a year before it came out. Yeah. And they, it just sucks. Like they didn't, they clearly didn't have a vision for what they wanted it to look like that was a good idea. And so then you have the director being like, oh, you know, it's not supposed to look realistic because it's like this projection of time. And it's like, but it's not supposed to look like a PlayStation 2 render. Like that's not what it would look like. This doesn't look like a grounded reality to anything. It feels like on rendered graphics. It really does feel like, especially in the baby scene, that they just, that was early pre-res CG that they were gonna go back and touch up and clean up. But they're like, oh God, we've already spent almost 300 million on this film. And we can't put an ounce more into this thing or we're gonna lose money. And I think it often comes down to that where this shit's just expensive now. The marketing budgets are through the roof. They have to pay all these big name actors, a huge chunk of change. The, again, these VFX studios aren't free. They're not cheap. Even though the workers at the bottom are getting paid pretty little, apparently. I think the guys up top are kind of cashing in, which is too bad. And a lot of last minute reshoots. And every time, like Marvel apparently is horrible about constantly reshooting it, constantly changing the script. And so this isn't this well envisioned thing that they shot based off the original script. It's the thing that they shot a month ago. It's the conveyor belt coming out and making it. Did you see that on the Marvels? Supposedly they already spent a couple hundred million before they even really started shooting the film, is what I read. Because they had so many pre-production issues, going through scripts, going through pre-res and all that stuff that it's just, it's ballooned to a point of absurdity. Yeah. I don't, I couldn't even find actual numbers on it. They're, for some reason, kind of being coy about it, but if those reports are to be true. Not for some reason, because it's bad. Like they're in really bad shape, where like an Indiana Jones movie cost $300 million? What are you doing? Two and a half hours long? Like when? What are you doing? What is, why is any of this? And there's a, Why is any of this? This shot at the beginning of the movie where Indiana Jones is like from a distance, they show him running on top of a train. Oh yeah. And it looked horrible. It looked like the rubber band people from Blade 2. It was two sec, like a one second shot. This is a $300 million movie in the year 2023. It's a wide shot. It doesn't need to even be detailed. You just need physics that look like a real human. And you screwed that up. I don't know. How do you screw that up? I don't know. And then they have, how do you say his name? Michael Madsen or whatever, the bad guy. He gets like freaking decapitated in that same scene on the train. And then he shows up later. It's like a like tidy little nick on his face. It's like you get fucking wasted by that. You fell off the side of a train into a CG waterfall or whatever. Yeah, again, can't connect to anything. It's all so fake. But the point Sean was saying, the flash looks terrible, but it has enough connective tissue and a good script in our opinion that you can go along with the rest. It's the same reason that people still like Richard Donner Superman. If you're gonna come out and tell me that those effects hold up, you are lying or the original Star Wars trilogy. Listen, they're still okay visually, but dear God, they are a far cry from what Hollywood can put out today. And that first lightsaber battle we're treated to with Obi-Wan and Darth Vader. It looks like two guys having a sword fight in a bathroom. It's like, he does a little twirl at one point. He's like, how do you like me now? What are you doing? But yeah, you let that shit go because the story's compelling. The characters are interesting and you're along for the ride. It's not complicated. Yeah, it's gotta be younger people and they're gonna grill it and then they're gonna grow up like us and they're gonna be like, you kids today don't understand, you know. But even to an example, we're talking about Black Adam and you're like, this is the most CGI city I've ever seen. Right, because that's all the movie had to offer. You weren't like, oh man, the journey of Black Adam and the kid on the skateboard. And so it's the movie is delivering spectacle and superficial entertainment. And it's if you're only watching for that and you're like, I'm watching a city that's not real. Right. Then that's all you see. That's like how it goes for a lot. I mean, again, back to Snyder, the Snyder cut. I harped on it a lot, but like I said, the story was a lot better. It was far more fascinating. So yeah, you can overlook Wonder Woman's theme song playing every time she enters a room or orders a coffee or does whatever she does that fucking song plays. But the chanting, it would have been funny if at one point it was so loud that the characters in the movie were like, Diana, can you leave for a second? We're trying to have a conversation. Like they could hear the song themselves. Okay, Kyle, last second, final 4.99 super chat. If you didn't know the budget of movies would your opinion change? Well, no, we're just, I think we're just chatting about it. Like I don't care if a movie costs a stick. I'm only, you know, we're just kind of candidly talking. Like it's crazy that it costs so much and it looks that bad, but that doesn't change my opinion on the final product. I mean, I think there's, I can't put, say, I'm like, oh, I'm completely objective. I don't put my outside knowledge. I mean, we're all human. We're all kind of things that frustrate us. Like even as we talked about Justice League, I can't just evaluate it as like this weird Frankenstein thing. Sure. I evaluate it as I know why it's this weird Frankenstein thing. And I'm like, that's, this is like the worst of Hollywood that would you would be opportunistic about that? Come on. But I think it's, there's movies where it's tough to not have a certain amount of cynicism when like you just know Disney is just throwing money out there. Turn and burn, baby. And you're just like, what is going on here? Like, why, how does it- Or purposely doing the cash grab remake and then on top of that doing a gender swap or a race swap because they know exactly what they're doing. They're trying to get people talking, get people fueled, going out and then they're playing people against each other with these kinds of stupid tactics. But case in point, like I watched Secret Invasion. I was like, okay, maybe this is gonna be, no, it's not, okay, it's another one of these Mandarin things in the middle. And then you get to the end and you're like, oh dear, what, what were you thinking? I gave up on Disney, I gave up on Disney plus shows. They're so bad every time. And afterwards, we find out it costs $200 million and you're like, this is a show about people like sitting in circles talking and drinking coffee and talking and being in a hospital room and talking and being in a warehouse and talking. How are you spending $30 million per episode? Like is Amelia Clark, Olivia Coleman, Samuel L. Jackson all getting $5 million per episode? What is going on here? There's no explanation until you realize that they shot it and then they re-shot it. Well, yeah, and because these universes are so big and connected, there's so many things like, okay, Kevin's coming in now and he's saying the Eternals too is gonna have this character. So we have to shoehorn it in here now because it's all gonna for some reason still connect. And it's so bloated and large has become uninteresting to everyone. Yeah, we could talk for hours about this. So I was debating on the Twitter with someone. X, you mean? Yeah, X. I was X-ing on X tonight right before we started. And if someone had tweeted out, well, Blu-ray Angel tweeted out, Secret Wars could be the first movie to make $3 billion. And so someone I know is like, no, I don't see it happening. $3 billion? What did Avatar 2 make, like 1.4 or something? No, it was over $2 billion. Oh, was it? Avatar movies make over $2 billion. James Cameron is the... James Cameron's magic. Yeah, so you go to James Cameron's number and then you always go backwards from that. So nothing's making over $2 billion. Right, right. And so I'm like, the momentum is disappearing. There's, people's interest is dwindling. There's no stars. There's no team-ups that pull it together. We don't even know who the Avengers are. Yeah, I don't... There's like... Chris Pratt and Ant-Man maybe are in there and I assume Brie Larson. Like the leader is Shuri or this is... She is. Aqua's Pina, is she gonna be in the mix? Like who is the Avengers? We're 17 movies and 25 TV shows into the multiverse saga. And we've had three references to the Avengers. Spider-Man said, I was an Avenger and then his buddies went, what's an Avenger? Modoc said, I got to die an Avenger. So we know Modoc used to be an Avenger. Spider-Man used to be Avenger. And then people in Secret Invasion were like, hey, why don't you just call the Avengers to stop this gigantic threat? And he goes, because this is personal, I gotta solve this. So he doesn't call the Avengers. Like that's a real line of dialogue. Like no superpowers, this is personal, I gotta solve this. So he sends it. Is there still an engine? Sorry, go ahead. But so he says he's gonna solve it himself. Then he sends an Emilia Clarke as him so she can use her superpowers. So he doesn't even do the thing. It's a total rando character. Oh, disaster. Is Emilia Clarke a superhero? Is she good or bad? So she was with these extremist scrolls, but she's like, mm, terrorism's bad. Yeah, of course. I don't not fully good, but I think that killing 3,000 people for no reason is bad. She's an anti-hero. Okay, wow, all right. So then she's kind of like in the middle. And then at the end, spoilers for Secret Invasion, they have a super scroll machine where Nick Fury used the scrolls to collect all the blood of the Avengers from the Battle of Endgame. And so then Nick Fury gives the blood of all the Avengers to the bad guy to put into his super scroll machine. Oh my God. What? This is a real thing. Someone did AI write this. So he gets this blood of all the events. And Nick Fury has it. He doesn't have to turn it over, but he chooses to. And so he gives it to Emilia Clarke who goes as him and she's pretending to die from radiation because they're like a nuclear plant. And so she hands over this potion to a vial of blood to him. That he puts into his super scroll machine. And Nick Fury is sitting in the middle of the machine. And he's like, I'm just gonna run the machine with you sitting next to me. Oh my God. And so they run the machine and then both Emilia Clarke who's a scroll and our big bad guys who's a scroll gain all of the powers of everyone. Of everyone. That was at the Battle of Endgame. Amazing. It's a like she flexes her arm. And it's- I saw that clip. Drax's arm. I saw that clip. And so she has Drax's tattoos because she has his powers. And then at one point they have the rings of what a Thanos is guys. And it's like, wait, those are rings. Rings are not in your blood. What is happening? Were you counting as things were showing up and you're like one million dollars, two million dollars, three million dollars all the way to 200. And so then they do a big boss fight and then she wins. And then it's like a random spy person is like, we can work together. You can use me, I'll use you. And that's what they do with this character that they just like casually and accidentally made the most powerful character in the entire MCU. And they didn't even realize it. They didn't stop to think like, oh, that has ramifications. This is important. You know- Mother of dragons. Yeah, the mother of dragons is now the most like, you don't even know her name. I'm still calling her Amelia Clark. She's Khaleesi. Mother of Superheroes. She's Khaleesi, mother of dragons. And I don't know her name, but she's the most powerful character in the MCU. And as far as we know, they have no future plans for it. They just like, oh, oops, we accidentally did that. You're forgetting one reference. And that is at the way end credits of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three, they say Star Lord will return in Avengers. They do. Yeah, so there you go. That's the great callback they give there because James Gunn's like, I'm not putting any bullshit in my movie. You can tack it on at the end if you want, but you already screwed me over with Gamora and with Star Lord's character arc. So yeah, he's done. I love that too. He's been kind of snarky about it lately. Oh, he had that line in Guardians three, which I thought was just great where he's like, yeah. And then they threw her over a cliff and a magic cliff and I guess she died, but then she came back and I don't understand any of it. That's pretty good. That's clearly James Gunn, like passive aggressively. I'm like, yeah, you fucking guys. Okay, one final one. Last second, Daniel Skinner, $5. Thank you, Daniel says, as someone who met Sean Chandler in real life, who is the most famous person you guys have met? Mine is Haley Steinfeld and Brie Larson. Wow, that's a nice matchup right there. He did that in San Antonio in July and I almost would have met Daniel Skinner a second time in San Antonio, but it kind of fell at a busy time so I couldn't head on out to that Comic Con. Okay. Yeah. Is that your, who have you met, Sean? Anybody famous? Oh, he's got a photo. My close personal friend of me with my buddy William Shatner, he just always has plexiglass between the two of us. What a weird guy. So weird. Yeah, he's short. He's sitting down. Oh. I couldn't see. Was it two in the morning where you were at? Two in the morning, it's 1.54. He's a midget. Holy shit. How tall are you, Sean? Like 10 feet. That's awesome. Well, that's cool. Right along with that, my other close personal friend, Sam Raimi, and Bruce Campbell. They are standing up, so this does show me as clearly taller than them. Which gives you dominance over them. That was important to me. Very eldest status. Walk in, walk into this photo op, paint all this money to get my picture with them. Walk in, Sam Raimi walks up to me, he goes, hi, my name's Sam. Oh my God. It literally inched it. Yeah, bro. I just paid 100 bucks. Hi, friend, I'm Sam. You may know me from such a fit, it goes as Spider-Man and Spider-Man dude. He was dead. Bruce Campbell's like, ah, I get these losers out of here. There it is, yeah. It's like both have been played into their exact stereotypes of Sam Raimi being this nerdy, awkward, really nice guy and Bruce Campbell being this really funny douchebag. That's awesome, man. Bruce Campbell, that'd be, he'd be a blast to meet. Yeah. I haven't met anybody too exciting. I saw Michael, how do you say his last name, Rooker? Roker? Yeah. Yeah. I'm like that. Yeah, one of them. Michael Rooker. I was mumbling, Michael Rooker. I'm not gonna flab him, Scribham. I saw him at a con, one of the only cons I ever went to, actually. And it wasn't even like a meet and greet thing. He was actually just like walking in from outside. I guess he missed the back private entrance. So he just comes rolling in with his leather jacket on and he stops. I'm like, Michael Roker, he turns over, he shakes my hand, says hi. I'm like, hi, I don't have to pay money for this. You stupid suckers. I met like Lou Ferrigno and a couple other people, but I wouldn't say anybody too exciting. I'd love to meet like, I think Larry David would be hilarious to meet in person. I think the always sunny in Philadelphia gang would be freaking awesome. I don't know. I like comedians. I think that they are the most honest people in Hollywood. Jim Carrey would be a blast to meet. Yeah, I know that's not what the question was, but I'm just telling you people I'd love to meet on my bucket list at this point. Yeah, okay. I think that wraps up the super chats. It is two in the morning here. What do you have? One over there? Yeah, it's only 1256. Oh, well it is 156 here. We are on the same, you know, we're still. My wife had been in the chat. I think she passed out. She's gone. Yeah, we lost her. My wife didn't even bother. My family is actually not even in the house. I am home alone, Macaulay Culkin style. I set up movie traps everywhere. Yeah, they flew back to Minnesota and I'm going down there in two days to see all my family. Cause we moved here to South Carolina. We're from Minnesota. I don't know if you can tell from my rich, thick accent, but. Which city are you in? Right now? Or where was I'm in Somerville. Do you want me to give me your address, the address too and everything? Yes, I went to college in Columbia. So I've only been here for a year, but I do know, I do know where Columbia is. Yeah. So I was, maybe if you know Columbia, then I could have been like mentioned the two streets that I know in Columbia. That's it. That's my whole connection. I was trying to connect with you on a real personal level. Well, we got there. I think we got there. I also have been in the state of South Carolina. There it is. Have you been into Maurice's barbecue? No, I have not. I haven't been to enough barbecue places here. It's kind of what they're known for. And I haven't, I've barely been to a barbecue place. Coming from Texas, like I was offended at the concept that they were known for barbecue. I never went to Maurice's barbecue, but they were like famous for being overtly racist. So I was actually testing you to see how racist you are. It all goes back. It all comes back around. This is trying to get some ammo to post on Twitter. Like, I got him. It took three and a half hours. It was two and a clock in the morning, his time. And I caught him in one of my traps. It's gonna be Sean Chandler's clip tomorrow. You start doing clips on your channel now. What's up guys? Sean Chandler, here's the top five most racist people on YouTube in the movie critic space. And number one, Adam does movies. He hated Maurice's barbecue. Oh, that taste, finger licking Nazi. Oh, wait, my wife is actually still here. She just doesn't respond to any of my comments I leave for her. Oh, that's nice. Well, it's, it's not nice. It's meant me, she's ignoring me and it's hurting my feelings. I was feeling insecure. Well, yeah. Yeah. Well, on that note, Sean, this is a pleasure. Yes, insecurity. Again, people, you can, you can subscribe to his channel at Sean talks about, why is that your handle, by the way? Why aren't you like Sean talks movies or something like that? It's like Sean talks about nothing. Yeah. That's the, if you, if I'd known that you can change it. Yeah. I mean, I, I mean, I could, but you should. I don't like it. It bothers me that it's Sean talks, Sean Chandler talks about. Yeah. That's the actual, that's the name I've always had. My actual name is Sean Chandler talks about. It's your first, middle, last name. It's like literally my thought. We went to go see the Lady Ghostbusters in July, 2016. Oh, I saw your video on that as a like your walk through your life. It was very nice. It's, it's so like, like next day I was like, I'll post a video. Like what, what should I, I had this dormant YouTube channel that I'd posted some stuff about. And I was like, yeah, you know, I want to talk about Ghostbusters. Yeah. It's called the channel Sean Chandler talks about. So each video is like Sean Chandler talks about Ghostbusters. Sean Chandler talks about whatever it is. Yeah. It's like this stupid thing. And then 80 million views later of people like Sean Chandler talks about, like, and then, you know, even if you say the full version Sean Chandler talks about movies, it's still a pretty stupid name. And then like there's a group of people like when I go to church on Sunday, it's like, it's a joke to the high schoolers or it's amusing because I'm a full type YouTuber. And so they, anytime they see me, they're like, look who it is. It's Sean Chandler talks about movies. And like half the high schoolers or teenagers of the church just like put on this big thing. Yeah. And they're like, even if they're close to me and they're not yelling, they'll do the fake yell thing. We're like, look who it is. Okay, that stuff. And yeah, then they say the whole thing. It's never Sean Chandler. Sean Chandler talks about movies. It's always Sean Chandler talks about. But well, you said movies. They put the movies on too because even they're like, what are you doing? This is stupid. Even they know better than me. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I've changed my channel name three times and I guess we know who's got more subs and views. So the joke I guess comes back to me at the end. Yeah, subscribe to Sean Chandler. Sean, this was a long time ago. Subscribe to Sean Chandler talks about, this is important stuff. You know what's funny is I went to look you up on Letterbox and there are a couple of Sean Chandlers that don't have the talks about moniker at the end. So I almost followed the wrong one over there. And I didn't use it for three years. I just recently got back onto it. So there's all these like fan accounts that are actually posting things that are pretty close to my reviews because they're pulling them from my reviews. But they're not me. They're me actually. I'm trying to teach you a lesson. Next week, look for Sean's channel rebrand. What's up? It's Sean talks movies. On this episode, I'm ranking, I'm doing a tier list on movie sequels that have bad titling. That's how it's gonna be. This brought to you by Adam Does Movies. Oh, he must be super successful if he's given you advice. No. He's not. Okay, yep. Follow Sean Chandler talks about whatever he wants. Sean, this was a blast. This honestly was. I was looking forward to this. The first time we've ever talked. Yeah. Back to where we started on this. First time we ever talked and we talked for three and a half hours. I really do talk about movies. You do. And I do talk about them way too much. No, I think you talked about them. A perfect amount of time. I appreciate that. All right, thank you guys for watching and Sean will have to do it again sometime. I'm gonna end the broadcast and we'll awkwardly sit here for a couple seconds while it ends. I don't know what it's doing.
