 Welcome to Car Side Reviews. I'm Adam Onger. This is my new friend here, Jay. He's actually a living, breathing fan of Feud Nation. I work in a movie theater. Oh yeah, he works at the theater here in lovely Monticello, Minnesota. If you live in Minnesota, you can see a movie with me as well, because I'm just thankful to have real-life people that watch and like what I do. What did we see today? We saw Quentin Tarantino's latest Western, The Hateful Eight. She calls this eighth film, but I'm pretty sure he's done more than eight. Yeah, there's Death Proof. I don't think he counts Death Proof because there is reservoir numbers. I don't count Death Proof. The cast, it's kind of what you would expect from Quentin Tarantino movies. He's got some of his regulars in there. One of the standouts for me was Jennifer Jason Lee. Yeah. So I haven't seen her in anything before, but she was really good here. It was Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, people you've seen in Tarantino movies before. There was a few cast members where I was kind of like there in this movie. Yeah, I don't want to ruin anything. Although, he does give it away in the title sequence at the beginning, which lasts for probably 25 minutes. Yeah, which that's something new in a Tarantino movie. Even though it is three hours, it is three very enjoyable hours. I wasn't like checking my phone or looking around the room like how much more this is there. This was a very well-written, well-acted. It was funny. I think it was really funny. We were both laughing pretty hard. Normally, I don't like to laugh out loud in a theater because that's kind of disruptive. But in this case, there were sometimes I just couldn't help it. Just how loud are you laughing? The story he sets up here kind of plays out like Clue, which I know a lot of people have said that already, but... Have they? Yeah, Stuckman said it before. Fuck Chris Stuckman, I'm joking. No problem with Chris Stuckman. But yeah, I said that during the movie and I'm like, this kind of reminds me of Clue, especially some of the dialogue. And I actually thought when I was watching at times, it seemed like a live play going on. How he would set the stage. There would be a wide shot. There would be two characters on the side, silently talking, and then there would be a focal point. Just focused on the main people that are speaking. Even the lighting, you know, you'd have like shimmering through and you get the silhouette of the snow outside. You mentioned the lighting and everything. Something I had to point out was that, you know, he filmed this with 75-millimeter cameras. And I love how director is not just him, but even like JJ Abrams with The Force Awakens and Christopher McCrory with Mission Impossible Road Nation doing a lot of practical action, everything. They are bringing back these old-fashioned techniques, you know, kind of not going the CGI route, you know. And using those cameras, I thought, okay, that's just kind of a gimmick to pay tribute to, you know, his influences. But no, that actually added something to the movie because it felt so authentic. And I kind of felt the same way with The Force Awakens because it had that authenticity that kind of hooked you in, like, when they were inside bundling up and it helped that it was cold in the theater. Like, he actually had to put his jacket on. I'm just actually soaking in all your knowledge and then you know more about movies than I do. So I'm just taking it. I'm just sitting here listening like a person watching. So very, very well done. We got to mention the best character in the movie. We both agreed that Kurt Russell's character. Oh, yeah. He was just savage and... You know, you talk about bringing back old-fashioned things. It's great that Kurt Russell's back in films. Yeah, Furious 7, we both agreed doesn't count. Oh, yeah, that doesn't really count. He was underutilized. But here, it's full on Kurt Russell. Full on Kurt Russell expressions. Your game is over-the-top manualisms. Yeah, same as Samuel L. Jackson. He was fantastic in this movie. He was, yeah. I'm talking about flipping the script from just his last film with Quentin Tarantino where he's playing on the side of the whites. Like, he says, I hate black people. And now here he is. For a movie with only two settings, which is out in the cold and in this cabin that they're in, there was an awful lot going on. Yeah, it kind of reminded me of Panic Room. I don't know if you remember that movie, David Fincher Vehicle. I love David Fincher. And even Panic Room, I think, is very underrated for his films. It reminded me of that, because there's really just one central hub where everything's taking place. It's claustrophobic, like in Panic Room, or even like The Martian, where, you know, he's just stranded on this plane. You really feel that in this movie. That's something that Quentin Tarantino- Or like us in this car, I mean, you really feel like you're in the car with us, freezing your ass off because it's like 15 degrees out in Minnesota. Yeah, out in this like uncomfortable space because I have to fit in with this camera. Yeah, no, it's high-tech. Let's not just what's going on. Oh, yeah. Let's drop a rating on this. And I'm going to let you go first because I'm still up in the air what I'm going to give this thing. You know what? To be honest, I am too. We're probably going to have to add like a little cut in between here. Okay. Like, you know what? Hey Trish, can you put a cut in here? Yeah. There's nobody there. Oh, maybe she's out there. I thought I saw somebody peeking over there. It's just a homeless guy. We ignore them. So for now, I'm going to give an A. Yep. Because, you know, it's just my, you know. Well, we do, we do numbers on this show. So one through 10, one through 10. Huge fan over here. Huge fan. Yeah. Thank you. For me, I got to go 9.5. 9.5. I love this. Wow. Just like at first. Wow. That's high. Because like, you know, I was a bit skeptical like you were going in. So I was kind of like, I don't know, but I came out so happy. And like I was shaking at times. Just about how truly suspenseful it was. It was intense. Yeah. I think for this, I'm going to go a 9. I think that it's, you know, it was, it's a little slow paced, but it's okay. The payoff is there. Yeah. It's not a movie. I'm going to want to watch maybe more than one more time. If even that, it's one experience and done for me. Yeah. But it was a great experience. There's the reviews. Let's hear from you in the comments as always. I encourage you. That's what the show's all about is engaging with our fans. I mean, I got one in the car with me for fuck's sake. You're not going to see Chris Stuckman bringing fans in his car. Once again, nothing against Chris Stuckman. Nothing against Chris Stuckman. Until next time, we'll see you right here in the car. I know. Oh, that's where I end. But go ahead and let's, let's, let's keep hearing from Jay. Um, you know, I was kind of debating on doing this because I thought, okay, well my content is going to plug your show. And then I was going to kick you out. I don't post the greatest content on the planet or anything. That's not a way to sell it. It's not a way to sell it. But I'm an honest human being. So that's why I have to say that. But if you want to check out my channel, Firebird Films, I do occasional movie reviews. I do a lot of skits and everything. I run a show and everything. So if you want to check that out, feel free to. I won't think any less of you. Thanks for coming in. Thanks for joining me. Most, most of the people I go to movies with bounce at this point. I'm glad you stuck around to do the review. Yeah, I do. And I already said goodbye to you guys. I don't know why you're still here watching. Get out of here. Let's, we can actually both leave. I'm just going to leave my car here overnight. I got to go start my car if it's cold outside. I don't really like you next to me because your youth is just radiant over here. And my old withered age is just, just showing through on the camera lens. I'm like, well, I mean, The crow's feet and this, the depressing life that's fallen over me.
