 What's going on guys welcome to a brand new sweet film podcast, of course My name is Zach and my name is Cody and today we have a very special podcast today We don't have like one central topic, but we're gonna take it back to basics We're just gonna be having a big discussion about film Different discussion different topics If you guys don't like what we're talking about skip through the video if you guys want to listen to us Lovely voices talk about something maybe rant sometimes you go off on tangents. That's the best thing about this podcast if you're new here, so Cody Everyone knows how we start if you're if they're new here, they don't but I just like to catch up How's your day going like got any fun plans got to do anything lately like yeah, well Actually, I'll get into me in a sec. But first of all Zach, I want to talk about you and here's the very specific reason Why for those of you who do not know or didn't catch Zach's live stream? yesterday Zach our little old Zach is growing up because he's officially part of the uberty Obviously, but no Zach was officially put into the Phoenix film the Phoenix film Film critic society. Yes. All right, and thank you. But yeah, no, dude. That's fantastic. Like I'm proud of you That's great. Thanks, man I was really excited cuz so I'd like hinted at it a couple live streams ago But I didn't want to jinx it. I didn't really tell anyone that I had applied I just like I told like obviously John from the website and like some of the screening reps knew but like I wanted to keep it I didn't want to get my hopes up. So I didn't like tell anyone and then I didn't get I didn't hear anything back for a month I was like dang it. So I sent a follow-up email. Just hey, did you happen to get this blah, blah, blah Long behold next day. They tell me I got accepted. So it's fun I don't exactly know what it'll title me, but it's cool to have that title at least and um, I Get the vote. Hopefully I'll get the vote on the awards this year. So like they have their own PFCs awards kind of like their own Oscars, which will be cool That's cool. It's on IMDb and stuff too. So it kind of a little cool thing there So yeah, plus it'll it will give you a chance to network with more people outside of the YouTube space and actually in the Professional world when it comes to yeah, and plus it gives me a little bit more credibility I guess now I'm one of those stuck-up snobs. So when I actually get those comments now I guess I can be like can't defend those anymore not not just a boy in his room Watching movies. Yeah, you just wait. Everybody's gonna come in. You're good. They're gonna be like, oh, who's this douchebag? What is his opinion matter? Well, apparently since I did my Mary Poppins trailer reaction this morning The amount of douchebag comments are already there fucking dislikes. Fuck you Apologize about the cussing but f you if you really don't like my Mary Poppins trailer reaction Sorry, I'm a boy and crying and it's six o'clock in the morning and my stomachs upset and I'm really tired Where I'm at so people just leave Just got a whole bunch of problems going on today Apparently yeah, so any anything new going on with you like seeing any movies lately. Um, I saw Mandy You do you need to see Mandy man. I yeah, I will Oh my god, I'm I'm joking Cody. It's five dollars rent this thing and watch it's not on bluer yet Is it on Vimeo or it's on yeah, it's on anything you can rent a movie on it's on you can rent it on Okay, I'll have to check it out then it is one of the best it's top five for me this year It is a that good. It's total art It's the most art house any film I've ever seen if you've ever seen a Nicholas one Reference film like say a neon demon or drive. It's times 10 on that it is Nicholas cage Unhinged but probably gives one of the best forms says of this year as well it's so subtle and It's damn good a good movie and it's at first I'm gonna watch it the first hour is like a prologue to the film because you don't actually see the title card till an hour in I was like, okay, that's that's that's a little risky. So really the first half It's it's written like a book. It's a prologue and Set up all the stuff that you have to know you have to know Or else it just becomes a simplistic weird art house film I mean, it still is a weird art house film with a simplistic story But that first hour is somewhat really boring But the payoff to it is so damn good That it's needed. Let me put it this way if you want to see Nicholas Cage In a chainsaw fight. I mean straight up man versus man only a chainsaw and they're fighting like they're lightsabers You get it in this you want to see Nicholas Cage kill a demon and then grab his coke That's on glass and snored it right in front of the camera. You get that If you want Nicholas Cage With blood all over him You get that Well, okay, then with chainsaw and chainsaw, I'm not gonna lie That does sound something very similar to what was in Resident Evil 7 biohazard, but dude It's kind of like that to be honest. Is it really? again, no, all right, I'm gonna have to find some time to check it out, but Man, as far as movies go. Yeah, I saw the predator will get into that and I also saw a simple favor Which I thoroughly enjoyed and I had such a fun time with it Like the last Died for me. Yeah, I gave it a c-minus and maybe I was a little bit harsh on giving it a c-minus But it's hard for me to recommend a mystery movie when I felt like the ending did not succeed Yeah, I can I mean I completely understand that and if I was the more I think about the film though the more I really really like it because one of Possibly my favorite genre in all of film is crime noir or neo noir like a simple favor is and I can kind of See noir the end. It's shades of gray with more mystery Well, when she's gonna eat an outman, I was like whoa her face Henry Golding man Well the dude did to get to make out with two of the most beautiful men of women in Hollywood, so No, no Well, he already knows but international women's day. I mean taking the ending out Taking the if the ending was a lot better It probably would be an A plus for me But with the ending aside it was it was a B a B plus for me like I thoroughly enjoyed it I can put the ending aside because I had so much fun watching it up until that point and I can just treat for me personally I can just treat like the ending never happened but I mean I Can get that it's just hard again. It's hard for me because You go into a mystery film and you want to know the mystery ends and the way it ends is stupid Yeah, and I mean Blake like absolutely. I thought it was I thought it was predictable I thought I'm okay. I don't really I don't want to get in spoilers But when you start to find out what happens midway through With another character that gets introduced I said I knew that was happening I knew that was gonna happen the whole time. I was like that. That's just how it's gonna be and that's understandable And you know what character I'm talking about, right? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah Yeah, you know there were some parts that were that were that were very predictable about one thing I will say though. I was watching Christian Harloff thoughts on it and when he said that Blake Lively's performance was the Rosamund Pike for this movie I completely agree with it because Blake Well, I don't think it's as good as what Rosamund Pike did But I will say that Blake Lively's performance in this movie is the best performance. She's ever given I'll agree with that except the shallows. I still think that's her strongest performance not her strongest film But I still think that's her strongest performance. She's so damn good. Think about you She has to she's the only character in that film except for a seagull I mean like that's the only in there and I think a simple favor She borrows a lot from Ryan Reynolds. It felt like this. I don't know like it felt like she borrowed a lot from her husband I don't know. I like the girls and actress. I think she's a really good actress I think people give her too much crap for what she is Oh, did you get the did you get the little nod in Easter egg that she actually gave her husband throughout the entirety of that movie? I don't know. So right right zoomed out. Oh the alcohol The gin yeah aviation Yeah by Ryan Reynolds But as far as things that are going on in my life besides the whole movie thing well Right now. I'm kind of Kind of in the waiting period and I'm just not giving my hope stuff, but I might start Writing for my school newspaper. That's awesome, man. It's a student-led free press for the school and So it's official that you are? Not yet. I sent it I talked to her a couple of days ago and I said how about this So I'm going to see I'm going to see a couple movies this this weekend I'll write a piece up and I will send it to you over the weekend and then you can send me your feedback So right now I'm just in the waiting period But fingers crossed because I think it's a very strong piece that I sent her Awesome That'd be a great thing to go to yeah, hopefully I like I like I think we should start in with what we've I know talking about. What was that? My dildo it fell off you wait you have a dildo Somewhat, um, but yeah, let's talk about the predator. You saw it this weekend. I saw it last Monday and So This is spoiler talk, so if you didn't see the predator You might want to stay away if you don't care at all I mean really you're not missing out on anything to be honest like anything we spoil won't like destroy It's nothing like a plot twist at all and nothing that will like de-hance the film It might just save you for not wanting to see the film so and saving your money Okay, let me get my preference up. It's first off. Okay, Cody. I know you hated this. Yeah, did you okay? Is this your worst film you've seen this year? No, no, no, no I might to be honest I know I enjoyed it when I first came out but to be perfectly honest my worst film is either happy-time murder Oh You're gonna give it crap rating and you gave happy-time murders yada yada yada Look, I enjoy I enjoyed happy-time murders, but it's like I said I saw the movie again after I saw it So Cody's the reason if we get a sequel it's his fault the more I think about the happy-time murders I just kind of hate it Now that I've seen it twice Okay, we're talking about right as far as the predator is concerned Your normal thoughts on it. It's not my it's not my least favorite film of the year. It's probably my most As far as directing standpoint because I've never been the biggest fan of the predator franchise I think the first one is awesome. I love the first predator movie everything else though after that I've never been the biggest fan of and this was more of a disappointment for me because kiss kiss bang bang um The nice guys Shane black After seeing the nice guys Shane black kind of pushed himself up to being one of my favorite directors But seeing what he didn't hear it was just kind of a really big let down Yeah, so I'll agree with you on that So I enjoyed the film. Is it good? No, is it bad? Yeah, sometimes But the film is enjoyable it the film is enjoyable at times does have enjoyable parts Yes, I find it to be a guilty pleasure in a sense. That's fine but my So preference that I'm a huge predator fan Huge predator fan the first predator is one of the first films I've ever was one of the first ones I've ever saw in my life And I remember watching it first first time my dad showed me and he didn't tell me it was an alien He's like oh you want to watch a war film. He knew so we watch it and That thing scared the crap out of me when I was younger because we used to have been the forest up in Big Bear, California, and wow, I mean This thing was just going invisible and so good and this film still holds up man I just went through and rewatched every single predator film including alien versus predator and Predator 2 is a total guilty pleasure Predators with Adrian Brody. It's fun Alien versus predator fun The second one is one of the worst films ever made. Yep This film man, I Know it's So it's not the worst one I've seen this year. It's definitely not my top time I've seen ten worst films in this this year. Would you say that is a Disappointment it's my biggest disappointment this year and the only other thing that might disappoint me more is Frickin Venom But as of right now the Predator is my most disappointing the film this year I had such high hopes just like you're saying Shane black Directs kiss kiss bang bang one of the best films out the one of the most underrated films nice guys One of the most under a films my favorite film of that year Iron Man 3 I find to be very yeah, I get it people crap on it I understand your reasons as a Marvel film. It's poop as a shame black film. It's amazing This film just got To be honest though, I don't know if it was studio interference I there's a whole article out there discussing the studio interference and how they changed the whole third act How they changed a bunch of things there's tons of things missing from the trailers There's meddling in this movie there is hands-down studio interference and For me a lot of it what I was reading is that the studio didn't want to be a shame black film Which me gives me the biggest preference then why the fuck did you hire him? Why the hell did you hire shame black to make predator film when you know shame black is gonna make shame black film? I I don't get it. I don't get it Like why why Yeah, I see plus and that was very fair of me. I Easily could have given this film a D and I did it because I enjoyed so Cody, let's talk about our pros first. Okay, okay Really had any so I'll get mine out of the way because you're gonna be shorter. Yeah, go for it Actually, it was great when the action is going. It's awesome when that big predator shanky that guy multiple times. Oh awesome awesome groovy stuff in there The motel scene funniest scene in the film the character dynamics between all the characters are great Olivia Munn really good. I thought she was great a lot of people said she was miss cast I really liked her in this film that scene where she had to take off all of her clothes and sit there and stay still that was great All the new I like the new thing of how just so everyone knows now we're kind of getting the spoilers I love how they said that the predators are kind of trying to move into this planet I think that's a cool thing because before we just thought oh, they're using us for game Which in a sense we are but this that's another great reason to see that I mean there must be more reason to it You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely I like some of the nods to the original predator Not a little bit stupid. I've Gary B. C son in there and then die right off the bat that that was kind of stupid But I thought the character dynamics were great. I thought all the actors did a good job I thought Boyd Holbrook was fantastic as a lead and I want to see him more as a lead Jacob Tremblay surprisingly did not irritate me. I mean, that's not I'm not saying he's a bad actor I'm just saying when they give you these kids subplots and these horror Action films, it's not good. You know what I mean? Like usually it's annoying, but I Didn't fully believe his subplot with the autism I didn't believe not a hundred percent, but it worked enough for me to like it But I really I thought everyone did good. There were some funny moments But at the same time where the predator should be an action horror film This was more of an action comedy. Yep, and it shouldn't have been And I given here's my thing though. Yes, it's a shame black movie, but even all of shame blocks films Like the nice guys. I wouldn't say is a comedy. It has comedy moments But it's more of a Detective film same with kids bang bang. It's just a smart witty dialogue. It's a noir film is what it is It's an investigation crime film with comedic elements in it Yeah, tell me your pros though because okay, so my pros I don't think all the performances were terrible I'll give you two there a couple of them were in my opinion But the ones that stood out for me number one Keegan Michael key because honestly that guy sticks out Anything that he's in and he's just I'm pretty sure he's gonna take over Hollywood one day Jacob Tremblay I thought he was good not as good as he has been because Rome will wonder the kid is Still not even wonder still not seen wonder. I own it and I still haven't watched it. Well, he's phenomenal in there I mean Jacob Tremblay is one of those young actors that is he's up and coming in He's a talent for sure Olivia Munn was good Which is surprising for me because she was terrible in X-Men apocalypse Okay, and the whole for movie was was terrible that's not her fault. I don't movie was terrible That's true, but I mean I also I enjoyed one or two of the action scenes, but at a certain point the movie just started to bore me and The movie looked pretty I thought the movie was shot really I didn't think it looked pretty. I thought the CGI was horrible in some parts CGI was absolutely terrible in some parts and That that whole last scene with the darkness When Sterling K Brown died I had to take a double-take and be like did he seriously just die Like really did you you just killed him off like that? It was the dumbest thing ever, but I Think okay, you don't have anything else good to say right? Nope I want to talk about my biggest comfort of the film That's the ending the endings one of the worst endings I've ever seen for a film Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yes, and it goes to say that that I Get it you want to set up for a sequel and the original ending was so much better It was actually Dutch showing up Arnold and telling them now They didn't film it because he said no to the role and I understand why I mean I Think it would have been smart just to bring him back as one of the main characters I think that would have been the smarter route to do There's a couple smart routes that you should have done for this film I think but I think that should have been one of them But we actually saw the original trailer in the original ending in one of the trailers where Boyd Holbrook and Jay Tremblay look up at the sky and he goes We're going after them. That's where it was supposed to end That was originally supposed to be the ending And I thought where it should have ended it was right as it ended It would have felt a little bit choppy But it just it's like you because the next part of this film felt like it was like an add-on in a sense You know what? I mean, like it felt like just good hacked on and Let me if this film gets a sequel I do not want to see that fucking thing I do not want to see the Iron Man armor at the end. That was stupid. That was no dumbest idea You could have done No, it's Iron Man it's a predator killer stupid, you know It I wish it was like a different predator came out not like a suit for them You know, I just it felt I it just felt like they were trying to go to MC route And this is my biggest thing which Jesus Christ if Venom does this like we're gonna have a whole podcast discussing How cinematic universes are supposed to work and no one understands this how it is you make a film And you just make it is don't try to set up anything anymore. Don't no No, I mean, let's let's I mean We we could absolutely have an entire podcast talking about how Movie studios today. Oh, you know what cinematic universe. They're the newest and trendiest Let's make that Oh We're talking about how many times has it worked I would say possibly two because the only other one that has for the most part It's kind of 50-50 worked for me has been the conjuring universe that I mean, but they did it, right? Yeah, I mean it's the conjuring universe great No, it's about as far as the films are concerned. It's about I'd say three I'd say three out of five are great Yeah, absolutely, but they did it right It doesn't feel like they took the whole idea of car being off of Marvel because the fact of the matter is Even though Marvel was doing it the conjuring, you know the way the conjuring franchise started out It did its own thing was Annabelle a terrible movie. Yes, absolutely But it definitely felt like they were at least Trying to set up something in a worthy way and I'll go as far as say this I think the first Annabelle is better structure than this movie. Did I enjoy this one more? Absolutely, but as a structured film the first Annabelle did better than the Predator Yeah, then let's you know what I think a good comparison with this for me is the mummy last year Yeah, the way they try to set up a cinematic You're shoving this stuff down your throat without anybody in the audience wanting it and trying to set up a sequel or a different Universe or what that's the thing is so this film didn't shove it down your throat till the end and it just felt so abrupt at that ending I felt you could have ended it more and I think one of the big issues with this film is one You don't believe that the loonies really why should they follow Boyd Hobrook? What's the point? I think they should have just all been a squad in the beginning and If they weren't You know what I mean like it just I never believed there. Why would they follow this guy like I Feel like they should have been a squad in the beginning Then they all get de-contained because they all saw the Predator and then it goes from there it would have made the film a little bit more faster paced and I feel like you should have focused on only a couple of their characters instead of going through each and every one of them like Okay, there's one other thing a lot of people are having issues with Thomas Jane. What did you think of the Tourette's thing? What do you think? I? Didn't hate it. I thought I messed up. So I thought it was funny I mean I thought I was I Thought it was funny in some parts for the most part though. I thought I was okay But that's mostly because at a certain movie this this film started to annoy me because it's like a shame black film to you though Like it at times it did Partially, I'm gonna tell if it was just butchered from the studio or like I Don't know like I know I guess the biggest disappointment for me Or one of the bigger disappointments is number one the script The script was a very big disappointment and the fact that Someone who was in the original Predator movie Decides to direct a Predator movie And it's almost completely terrible. That's one of the bigger disappointments for me It's not like it's gonna come out in the 1980s to be on it feels like it has the score gone from the original Predator in One of the big cons to this film for me is just Pressure You kill off the main Predator so early and focus on these dogs, which is dumb They don't do anything they make one retarded and then oh, I'm gonna be a real dog now made no sense The elite Predator was cool for what it was. We didn't get enough of him though And I remember seeing on set there was supposed to be two other normal Predators Which going into the re-shoots they actually got rid of all those Of course, I did stupid stupid just dumb and There's a lot of dumb decisions in this film again. I enjoyed it It's probably To be honest as a predator film. Hmm. It's probably the closest in tone to the original Yeah, I'm not being good. I don't know. There's things wrong with it There's things that are good with it if they go with the sequel. I Won't it just depends where they take it, but I don't think they will I think this film is getting destroyed It's made money Somewhat, but I don't think it'll make enough to recuperate I think it'll break even but it won't make enough to do a sequel. Honestly between I Don't think it's as bad as AVP Requiem. Definitely not but I It's right up there. No, I for me. I put it is the third best I think it's the third best or worse. Whatever you want to talk about it I'd say it's probably tied for me with With predator 2 because predator 2 I can understand why people would think that's a guilty pleasure This film I can under I mean I can understand why people would think this is a guilty pleasure But it doesn't change the fact that both predator 2 and The predator are both really poorly constructed movies. Yeah, I agree with you It's just it's disappointing and I mean you look I Know there have been a few fun films and a few really good films to come out this year But honestly this year is in terms of movies this year has been kind of disappointing for me because I Mean there have been a few movies that have surprised me. They've been excellent But there hasn't been a lot of movies to where I've gotten out of the movie theater. I'm like I Want to go see that again Yeah, except happy time murders, right? No Well, yes, I was well, you know the reason why I saw it because you griffin John and everybody else convinced me to go see it again And granted you guys were all right. The movie is terrible I think the only movie that I am actually considering to see twice now I mean Avengers Infinity War was definitely one mission impossible fallout for sure There's been a few the latest one was a simple favor. I'm probably I'm probably gonna get look you're allowed to have Opinion I understand why you hate the movie. I understand if the ending turns people off of the movie. I understand me personally I love investigation noir type films like a simple favor and I think there is more that I can get out of it If I see the second alright, I really enjoy Alright fair fair fair fair enough, so I think we're gonna move off the predator now Overall very disappointing for me, but I a new trailer popped up today Which one I put this up. It'll be a couple days from now But uh, Mary Poppins trailer number two comes out now my preferences. I love the original Perry Poppins I could not care the last one they announced the new Perry Poppins. I said, that's just a cash grab all well I mean every film's a cash grab in Hollywood. I was like really really we're gonna go back there Okay, Emily Blunt perfect perfect perfect is casting especially after I saw a quiet place I was like she is well, let me say this Perfect in the role In a quiet place when she was teaching her son, I was like that's Mary Poppins. I that was the first one. I thought and let me say this I Loved This trailer it is one of my most anticipated films of this year now And maybe it's just because I'm a Disney 2d animation kind of freak And I love when Disney goes back to these and I didn't expect for them to do it I did not expect for them to go back to that route, but it looks Stunning Stunning magical whimsical charming spectacular amazing fantastic Supercalifragilistic You know, you're right. I think you and I both have the same I think we both have the same opinion on this darn thing Yeah, I mean I mean I I saw it this morning I didn't even know it dropped that you told me to watch it before Well, that's why I was gonna push the podcast up more because I thought it was coming out of eight So I want to do a trailer reaction and then I dropped earlier So then I was like screw I'm just gonna get up right now and get okay But yeah, I mean I saw your trailer reaction for it after I watched it and We pretty much had the same dumbfounded expression on our faces is I'm sure you saw the there was about the halfway point When that 2d animation was just came out There was a smile on my face from the beginning That point all the way to the end. Yeah, I mean nothing will ever get rid of it's Emma Thompson, right Emma Tom I'm Emily Blunt. Oh, no, no And oh, oh the one thing I didn't know because I didn't know they were going to do this Dick van dyke I Was the character I forgot that wasn't it I don't know me should probably get nominated for an Oscar for that role But I mean, I'm not exactly sure if he's going to be playing Burt in Mary Poppin returns Isn't that a Lin Moet Lin Manuel Miranda? Isn't he playing Bert in not a hundred percent? I don't know much about but I'm gonna say this right now if this film is really good I mean really good It's coming on around Oscar season guarantee it'll get nominated for Best Picture if it's really good Yeah, and and I'll go as far as say Emily Bump will be nominated More than likely although I think I can hear Odie No, but They I mean if this film is excellent There is without a doubt it will be in top three for me maybe even top two because Mary Poppins is Mary Poppins is in my top five favorite Disney films of all time really it's not that high for me and But I enjoy it and saving mr. Banks to go along with that saving mr. Banks that came out a few years ago I know that in that film is is brilliant, but to see what they're doing with Mary Poppins here with Mary Poppins returns It's it's just exciting and I'm like with you I was very skeptical before this before watching this trailer of anything Related to Mary Poppins returns besides of course Emily Blunt because she's phenomenal, but with this trailer out Still your heart, right? Yeah, it's still my heart and it's right It's right up there with Bohemian Rhapsody is my most anticipated film of this year Bohemian Rhapsody I can't wait. I got my screening invite. I'm like And I'm actually seeing it the day that they're premiering at the world premiere really so I that It's one or two things one They want everyone to see it at once because it's that damn good or two It's not that good, but I from what I've heard it's amazing I know someone who got to see one of those early early early things and said it was awesome said it was awesome So I can't wait for that film man and with Mary Poppins being over we got a new film That's coming out later next year, which is the Joker Yes, I felt direct this film and walking Phoenix was casted as the Joker at which he lost a lot of damn weight Yes, he certainly did you the scene you were really never here earlier this year the guy was big and He's like a skinny as me now like it's scary. Is it kind of like Christian Bale what the kind of way he was in American hustle and then what he was the kind of way he was in when it comes to hostiles Yeah, in a sense. I I've been man. He's he's really good. I I mean Walking Phoenix is for me. I think the best working actor in Hollywood today. I think he's the best working actor Her is my favorite performance the guys ever given them Yeah, no, that's excellent. I I completely agree walk the line was one of my favorite performances that he's ever given Yeah, it's a really good one too. Also. Oh, have you seen have you seen the poster? Somebody posted on social media, but it was like the fan art Yeah, where it's like don't forget to and then it shows him with like red lipstick and green Yeah, I'm curious to see if we do get that so Obviously in this first photo that top Phillips posted his name is all Alfred Fleck now I don't know if it's a playoff Don't know Smack you because that's the first thing you thought of how dare you disrespect the Aflac. Well, you said Aflac not Aflac. I Hate you, but you know what I mean, so yeah, no, I do I do Because that's not Joker's real name in the comics. So I don't know if it's just an alias for right now Or obviously this is a one-off. So this is like completely different. I'm not expecting for it to be comic Accurate or anything, but man seeing him smile seeing him smile Can I say something though? I will be very disappointed if he doesn't become the Joker Until right at the end. I'll be very disappointed Well, I I guess the thing that I have on it is If if he becomes the Joker that we know with like makeup and all that stuff by the end I'm not going to care so much as long as his personality is like the Joker At some point in the movie like from some point on But it looks like we're already starting to get that because the little not only the photo is what the video is Yeah, I think the You you retreated. I can't remember who posted it, but I mean just just seeing that one little scene that that he did The guy's mannerisms the way he smiled all of that. I cannot wait for this movie to come out Yeah, it looks insane, dude. I I'm I'm really excited for it for a couple reasons and one of them being it's walking phoenix Um, I think if this film is brilliant and great Then um, we're gonna get something where it comes around october next year. That's oscar season. So I'm excited for it. I'm still skeptical on it because okay. I love todd Phillips. I think he's a good director Wardogs was criminally underrated But he's not I don't know I Scorsese's producing it, but I'm still iffy on that part. I I love todd Phillips, but Not all the hangover hangover films are great. Um, I enjoy them all because it's more of a guilty pleasure But I I'm just curious to see what he can do I I think after seeing wardogs it gives me a little bit more hope, but I can't wait He looks great though. He looks great Completely great and I was saying this because a lot of people are saying oh john ham Fan casting in his batman. Let me preference this if this one-off works I don't want john ham taking over ben aflex place. I'd rather them get someone younger for ben aflac since he is Gone, you know what I mean? Well gone. It's all the rumor. He's not coming back. I mean, I think I think John ham But that's what I'm saying if the one-offs work I want him to be I want them to do a batman one-off With john. Yeah, I imagine if they actually do take the dark knight returns comic because yeah, we got a small iteration of it in batman b superman, but I mean Legit take it Source material and all and have john ham be that grizzled old batman You know carry kelly you get a different superman like this whole different one-off and I think it would work I think it would work and it'd be cool and I want to see more films like this Going that route because yeah, it's cool to have a universe, but honestly It's not working for dc and we'll get into it in a second when we talk about Henry cavill, but I mean This is hysterical like I know this would this would never happen But what if he teamed up one-off with john ham playing john ham playing um batman batman and then Oh, what what's his? Gosh, I I can't even I can't think this morning. Who is the kid who was in a baby driver? Ansel elgore. Yeah, what if we had ansel elgore as as night wing or robin and then john ham as batman Well robin in that comic is a girl It's a girl. I didn't know that because I've never read the dark knight returns Well, yeah, it's something you need to get on to. Yeah, it's a girl. It's the first girl robin It's very different. So it takes place like 40 years into his career. He's retired and everything like the city is going to crap And uh pretty much him and superman face off, but like he comes out of retirement and literally, you know, he doesn't kill Yeah, no, he's like splitting people's throats like splitting like stabbing like killing The joker gets out of jail. Like there's a joker thing. It like it is awesome. It's awesome It's one of the best comic books. There's an animated version of it too that you can buy It's one of the best animated films dc is put out, but it's really good I cannot express that how good that film is But uh or that film and the comic book are it's my favorite comic book of all time, but I will say One last point that I'll put on when it comes to When it comes to the joker film is The more I hear about the more I get excited because something tells me like this is just intuition But something tells me that the joker movie Will be the first rated r comic book movie that the dc universe has done not the streaming service They've already said it's rated r. They've already said it's rated r. Well, I will well, that's my point I am not surprised by that fact. However, I will say it's probably I'm thinking it's probably going to be the first rated r comic book film that they do and Just on a side note one person i'm glad that they added on is mark maren The guy who plays the the Because honestly, I just gone I I just finished watching season two of glow probably a month ago And I I can't speak enough praises of that show because you're the one who suggested it to me and I agree It's a phenomenal show and mark maren is one of my favorite parts of the show Yeah, no, so yeah hymns as he beats robert denier or in it right now I was bald and was on but they uh got rid of him. So I I guess there's more to go into that Obviously, we don't know much details. Uh, we'll probably see a trailer and like Probably next march or so. Yeah, we'll get a trailer finally then but we have sad news Yeah, we were talking to dcu and that is henry cavill is leaving the dcu. Well That bs statement that warner brothers pulls out and it just really all shows me that I Okay, let me preference this so report comes out henry cavill apparently not coming back Uh, his manager comes out and says no he the cape is still on his thing, but sometimes They don't know, you know what I mean? Sometimes the CEO has different thoughts so and it's official He's not uh, it's not official. I think it's not No, nothing's been official. Nothing's come out But because warner brothers said we have a great relationship with them blah blah They didn't actually address the thing so it's a pain in the there's no official stuff from warner brothers They're tiptoeing around it just like bad enough lack leaving. They're just tiptoeing around it Well, they're PR people need their PR is crap the whole universe is crap At this point in time because it's all started because he was supposed to do a cameo in shazam because shazam looks up to superman That didn't work out I don't blame him because I don't think he wanted to do a cameo Why would you want to do a cameo you were superman you deserve your own movie So I don't blame him Here here are my thoughts Henry cavill leaving that's fine I I don't want him to leave But I don't blame him the the guy got one movie that I think is fantastic and deserved a sequel No one else that don't don't give him a sequel. He was one of the best shining parts of justice league who outperformed his damn mustache showing he was Horribly used in batman v superman Yep And he was one of the best actors after mission impossible fallout Your your main thing that you should have been doing is we need to get a man of steel Steel to involve because the one of the best parts fallout was him Yeah, one of us was a man from uncle was him and now he's signed on to the witcher series for netflix Which is going to take about a year of his life to finish which Good god. Thank god. The witcher is one of the best video games. I've ever played that third game is phenomenal Cody, I know you probably have not played it You need to play it like make that be your next game you play Because it is so damn good the universe the world all of it It is amazing and he is perfectly casted in there as gerald of rivia. It is superb, but I do not blame him. I do not blame him for leaving. They're not using his character right They are not using him at all right. He deserves better He should come out of that contract and i'm gonna laugh my ass off when mcu snaps him up and put him Puts him in as captain britain. Yep, you know that Wouldn't that be hilarious like it's gonna happen. I guarantee it'll happen What if it's like a complete swap like warner brothers in dc? They snatch up james gun and then marvel and kevin feige. They snatch up henry cavill and we get Both awesome things on either side, but honestly it's just Oh, jeez A warner brothers has such a pr nightmare when it comes to dc. I mean it's Ridiculous all this stuff. They're going through the thing that i'm so happy about is the fact that Henry Henry cavill he's He's taking all of this like a champ. He's literally I mean, i'm sure that there's a lot of emotions that are going through his mind right now But the way he's portraying it. He is taking it like a downright champ. The guy is amazing And yeah mission impossible fallout He besides the action If there's one thing I would say would steal the action scenes away from the movie It was Henry cavill's performance because although the action scenes were the star of the movie in my opinion The actual best part of the movie As far as performances go that was Henry cavill for me because it's just a performance Nobody was ever expecting out of him. No and again goes to A lot of it goes to that universe. That's crap. They've gotten phenomenal actors in there You got ben afleck who for me is my favorite batman You got jason mimola is aquaman. You have gal gadot is wonder one Which is the biggest controversial thing ever except ben afleck. That was pretty bad too But you have that and she was phenomenal Ezra miller a lot of people are kind of wishy washy of him is flash I think he's a great actor. I think they give him more material. He'll do great Ray fischer who is probably the best actor out of all them. He does Broadway You get him a cyborg You have a phenomenal lineup. You have this great world And right now Jeremy irons is alfred. That was a great choice Yeah, it just goes to me and I would sit here and I'd preference this Warner brothers Actually, let me write this out. Dear Warner brothers Listen Your universe is crap. I'm sorry. I've enjoyed most of them to be honest But there are nothing that I should love. I wish I could I wish I could love them I love man of steel. I really like wonder woman And I really enjoyed Batman v Superman for the most part Justice league is a mess, but I enjoy it and suicide squad is shit Listen Warner brothers, please come on. Let's talk about this Get someone in fucking charge. I get it. You have you brought over the guy who's in charge of the conjuring universe and pennywise That that's a great start Let him do what he wants to do. Maybe this is him doing what he wants to do get Henry Cavill out, but at this point in time Just restart your universe You you have you have not even last point you have three things you can do here Restart your universe completely after after shazaam just make shazaam the new start for this universe Sorry, that's it. Don't make references to wonder woman. Don't make references to awkward man shazaam starts it out second Just continue Do solo films make them good then tie them all in later on or three After wonder woman just restart completely Make matt reeves batman the new start of the universe and go from there Stop trying to No, don't keep any of the actors. Just reset them. Really? Okay. There's three things you can do because if you're going to reset the whole universe Why why keep gaga dot why why keep Zachary Levi like that's what i'm saying if you're going to restart You should just start with shazaam, but it looks like shazaam is already tying in so You're kind of screwed in that part unless you go back for extensive reshoots, which I doubt they're really going to do Awkward man, you know, yeah, I want all these actors come back But the thing is is at this point your universe is crap and then yeah, you said flashpoint But for me, why do a whole film to just reboot your franchise? Yeah, x-men days of future passed at that, but they already had some pretty damn good films in their lineup They just made two really bad ones that really destroyed the universe I I think flashpoint would be a waste to do and the thing is is flashpoint doesn't necessarily like It doesn't change your actors face just recast them. It's simple. It's like the James Bond role just recast him The audience is not that stupid Oh, this guy's batman now cool. Oh, this guy's Superman. Cool. Same universe. Awesome It's not that hard to be honest It's not it's not it's like when you cast re wolverine. Sorry, they're just gonna throw them in They're not gonna do a flashpoint or anything to be like, oh Hugh Jackman's on him So we're gonna flashpoint this to oh, it's uh, Taryn Egerton The whole universe is crab. They need to sit down. They need to come out of the definitive plan and the best thing they can do Just come out the definitive plan have a press conference to be like, this is what we're sticking to This is how the universe is gonna go and we're gonna continue it through on this out We don't need Michael B. Jordan being Superman, which I'm not being racist when I say that I'm not like I'm not I just I don't care what's Superman's skin colors. He can be white or black. He'll be Asian for all I care As long as the actor's great But Michael B. Jordan just doesn't fit in. I'd personally rather him do other things But that's just let's be honest there. He he's already done kill longer. He's already killed in the comic world let him do other things But Warner Brothers, please please please please just There's literally you have four things but out of those three there's three that are perfect Just be smart Which they're not in the end I guarantee after one moment they're just gonna reset the universe, which is yeah Well, let's look. I mean, let's just look at it this way Let's look just how much of a track record Warner Brothers has with their DC universe Let's look at the reactionary attitudes and comments and press releases and articles they release Let's look at oh, guess what? Everybody likes Suicide Squad. Let's do a Harley Quinn and Joker movie Let's do it Why why are we doing all these spin-offs? Why why is Suicide Squad 2 so far in development? Why? I guarantee it comes out. I ain't gonna do that good because first one was horribly received or it's just not gonna happen on dude They have a director they have the cast and the script just got finished. Are you kidding me? But we can't get Batman made Batman should have already been out by now And and did you hear how some who does like all the like, um, he does like some of the story structures and stuff He does a lot of it for Batman. He said Ben Affleck script is the best script He's ever read for a Batman film This is a guy who was worked on the dark night Batman begins other animated Batman features and he comes out and says that And yeah, well then again, Ben Affleck doesn't want to be Batman It doesn't matter. I wouldn't want to be Batman either. Think about just keeping a script though Yeah, no, no, no, think about think about think about it. They kick him off as director They take your script and chop it up They put you in Justice League. They promise you all this stuff and they make a horrible universe There's no structure to these films. There's no structure to this universe There's tons of issues with the universe in general and and at the end of the day, it's just The the franchise is going downhill. They have to gain control back Shazam is probably my most anticipated film of next year and I hope it's good. I it'll break my heart if it's not good I hope Aquaman's good I think it'll be good. I think it'll be good, but it's a film that should be great. I mean in a sense The we shouldn't even the films I get it films really hard to make but We shouldn't even be having this discussion about Warner Brothers right now No, we are there. It's like a ship that's sinking But they're still trying to make it float Yeah, you know, there is yeah, there is the possibility of the complete league stream which is the fact that After Wonder Woman 2 They scrap it, but they don't reboot it There's also that extreme. What do you mean already doing it? Well, what I mean is this is there's the possibility that At a certain point people will not go see DCU films anymore because they're just so sick and tired of this stuff. Um I don't think so. I think it depends on how it's critically received Um, because if you really think about it Wonder Woman got great reviews did great at the box office Justice League got bad reviews Didn't do great People look at the audience people look at the reviews Even though people were like, oh crit and people don't care about yes, they do people care about critics reviews But that's just the truth. It's it's people want to know if their time is if it's worth it I would have never seen Mandy I'm being honest. I would have never seen Mandy if it wasn't for the reviews It has a 98 on rotten tomatoes into two hour and one minute filmed by nick with nickless cage 98 percent There's something I have to see there It's not for everyone But again, it goes people do watch the reviews And or read reviews and whatnot. And that's one of my things. This is a film that Given there's some there's some films were like the none the whole franchise has been pretty much good The reason the none did so well because everyone likes the conjuring All right steel was fantastic I think it is but if everyone thought it was fantastic if bad man v superman was fantastic If suicide squad was the one that kind of was the anabelle of the franchise But then they came back and had a wonder woman just as they would have made over a billion dollars The thing is is these films now succeed off reviews If aquaman gets middle of the road reviews, it's gonna get middle of the road box office Shazam gets good middle of the road the same thing Okay, so I gotta ask Opening weekend predictions, how much do you think aquaman is going to make? judging based on Based on Justice league last year. It'll make more than justice league opening weekend. You think so. Yes Because what justice league only made what like 60? Yeah, I'll look it up right now. I'll look it up right now. Um, what's your what's yours? My prediction. I think it will make more than justice league Because it makes 657 worldwide Choose how much did it make opening weekend? Because I think you're right. I think 93 million 93 million. Okay. Well, I I do not think That's really bad. That's still horrible Honestly, when it comes to aquaman, I think it is gonna do A little bit below there, but maybe a little bit above So I I'm thinking it's gonna go somewhere between 80 and 100 million open. I say this I think if it gets good reviews Just good just good 85 to 90 Gets us raving like Wonder Woman type reviews 120 million opening weekend Yeah, it gets 65 65 to 70 opening weekend if it's just okay if it's bad reviews. Um, I I say this because Everyone knows Jason Momoa Sure one the trailer is awesome But yeah, I man, I'm scared. I'm yeah me too Plus man, I'm more scared because that same damn day you have elita battle angel Bumblebee and spider-man come out the same fucking day Wait, really? Yes. All three all four of those films come out either that same day or that same week Stupid dumb dumb Aquaman needs I Aquaman should be moved up. I'm sorry. It should be moved up It no reason it should be going against all those films Yeah But Yeah, I think we're both just really really nervous and sick and tired of having this conversation when it comes to the dcu Yeah, so but let's move on to a more fun part before we get going We're gonna debate something because people really like when mean kodi debated a dress world versus what? So me and kodi are going to debate Kevin Hart's best film Or best performance, whatever you want to say it's whatever. Okay, so what is kev? What is your favorite kevin hart film that you're in? My favorite kevin hart film is jumanji. Welcome to the jungle. I knew you were gonna have to pick that one Mine is think like a man the first one Okay, okay, that's a good choice. I'll let you I'll let you start first Okay, now wait, what are the terms of the debate? Are we just arguing kevin hart specifically you're arguing in general Why it's his best film? Why does he give a good performance blah blah blah? Because you can pretty much we're not deciding who wins the audience is going to decide on this Okay, so first of all, why why is this movie kevin hart's best film? First of all, it's an insanely fun film It's an insanely enjoyable film Because of it does what kevin hart does best and that is make the audience roar with laughter Is kevin hart great in it? Yes. He is he does what kevin hart does best and that's play off of his size Play off of his sense of humor. Oh, yeah, and the chemistry between him and dwayne the rock johnson Is some of the best chemistry? It's like real world chemistry those two have because those are the kind of jokes and humor that they play off of each other Can I butt in real fast? Can I butt in real fast? You said he was funny He's funny, but really the reason jumanji is funny is because of jack black Let's be honest there. Yeah, you know what? You could say the thing about tropic thunder Mentioning that jack black was the only funny part of the movie But the fact of the matter is everybody in jumanji. Welcome to the jungle Tropical that is a different story. Robert Daniels. They were they were Everybody in jumanji. Welcome to everyone had a fun moment and they were played himself kevin hart just played himself I didn't see a new character Jack black had to play a woman Just saying Well, let's go to my movie real fast You know what? Think like a man to rom-com This film is about four friends who conspired to turn the tables on their women when they discovered the ladies have been using Steve harvey's relationship advice against them. Let me tell you about this film. This movie's cheesy It's awesome though. It has kevin hart. It has michael ealy. It has jerry ferrara It has regina hall taria p henton. I cannot pronounce Any logic Yeah, it has chris brown. Probably not the best thing to have in rom-com But let me just say this film is adorable. It's a rom-com kevin hart's this kind of Swab man and it's yeah, it's cliche It's cute though because you're thinking like a man. Michael ealy is one of the most beautiful men in hollywood I mean this guy's like 45 years old has the brightest blue eyes I've ever seen in a whole damn film and let me tell you think like a man is cute I I remember I was dating this girl all the time. She's like, oh, he's watching like a man. I'm like I don't want to watch that like Hey, you did and I did and I was surprised it has a fantastic soundtrack fantastic score And the screenplay is by david a newman Who he in return has done other great films like friends with benefits with just timberlake and mila Mila kunes, which is a very underrated rom-com. Cody's giving that face like what the fuck are you talking about? I know what you're talking about. I think like a man also Let me tell you this the director tim story who is responsible for making those horrible fantastic four films Directed this film and regained himself for me. This film is fun It's enjoyable and it's all it needs to be and I'll go as far as say this kevin hart gives a great performance in here It's something that yes, we've seen before from him But he's just that advice man that one guy in the group of friends that you're like Yeah, I get you and each and every one of these guys has something different to them that bring a different sensibility to this It's not like jumanji where jumanji while fun isn't really a jumanji film because yeah, they're in the jungle But it's not really a board game. It's a fucking video game jumanji That's because it transferred over to modern times Cody it's modern times, but it doesn't matter jumanji 2 just feels like another adventure in the jungle Yeah, it has cool different effects and whatnot and I love jumanji 2. It's so funny yada yada yada But why is it funny? It's because of jack black kevin hart's probably the weakest link in the whole film That's really it. Um, he's kind of a pussy in the film to be honest So tell me it's tell me do you own think like a man on blu-ray? I do I do Do you is it in your book? What is it in a steel book? No, and I don't have the steel book for jumanji because I don't own jumanji Really? Fuck you. Yeah I own the original jumanji on 4k because that's the best way to own it And that still is the best jumanji film because that carries robin williams in it Nothing can beat that you've already lost right when you said jumanji 2 because nothing would be long williams Hey, here's the thing. I really meant I lost in 2012 and you want to know what made more money Think like a man it fixed its box office better because it cost less to make so that's even better Oh, wait a minute. So a movie that makes money automatically makes a good movie aka transforms the last night is a good movie because I had good box office Hey, think about this think like a man made it 91 million dollars at the domestic box office on a production budget of 12 million dollars I Win No, you know why you win and here's a big secret The reason why you win is not for any of the crap you just spewed out. It's because I have never seen think like a man That's the reason why you win because I I'll say that Cody. I'll say this think like a man's a good film. It's cute. It It's cute. I like it. It's a really nice little rom-com that I felt like is very underrated Okay, I'm gonna have to check it out then. Yeah, it's really cute Um, so you're saying I win Yes, I will admit defeat because I haven't seen that movie. So I can't really argue points Okay, so everyone heard I won. Okay, I'll be honest. Ramon you should win because it's not that good a movie It has a 54 percent on rotten tomatoes But honestly, it is enjoyable. It's like a guilty pleasure of mine. I enjoy it's cute It's one of those films that's worth watching Um, but yeah, that was fun That was a nice little debate a little harder debate But of course we debated that because night school does come out next weekend and we're looking forward to that So I am I am I love tiffany haddish. I don't know about you. Are you looking forward to night school? I am looking forward to night school so I'm in I'm interested though because Honestly, this is I feel like this is going to be a comedy with tiffany hash and kevin Are I feel like I might come out of it saying I wish that had been rated r But yeah, it's a PG 13.
