 No way to do it. It's just Great idiots, I'm Corbin. I'm Rick. How you doing? Great. Thank me too. Nice to meet you. And And today we are doing a movie review And it's one that's been Wow requested a lot. Uh, and it even won twitter polls that I'll show you right here See that which is why we're doing it the magic Obviously SRK so Uh, this one you guys have heard of him, right? I think so. Yeah, this one suede's they're all you know It's SRK all of them are very requested. Exactly. Uh, but this one. Let me look up the synopsis for you The synopsis go india Kevir Khan is the coach of the indian women's national hockey team and his dream is to make his all girls team emerge victorious against all odds His dream. Yep shock day. That means go, right? That means go Yep, two words go indian. Go chalk day Chalk day. So yeah chalk day is go. It's just one word. I believe so Chalk day is go. Why is there two of them? I don't know Interesting I didn't even think about that. I saw him say it in the thing obviously, but I just didn't Shock day, so it's two, but it means go All right, cool I guess yeah, it's two words. So it's starring obviously Shah Rukh Khan and then I think just a bunch of unknowns honestly I don't for the most part lose to us. Yeah, I'm sure you all know him as legends, but uh, we don't know anybody else right and directed by Shemit, I mean, I mean and I don't think there's too much Else no this film was interesting to me and it didn't look 12 years old No, uh, no, not too much. It is a wire a film. Sorry. It is a wire a film. Oh, I can't copyright this one Uh, this was an interesting film. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either Yeah, I don't know how you felt about it. Obviously. We haven't talked to yet. I didn't love it. Yeah, uh, I I didn't dislike it. Yeah No, like I just I didn't hate it and but I just it also I didn't love it either Yeah, it felt for the most part and I kind of just let it fall into this category We've got we had movies back here for a long long time. We're called after school specials. Yeah, where Before cable TV back when electricity was not even around We we had after school specials It would come on and it was a two-hour movie that was in the middle of the week And you would watch it and it's very much comparable to say like a hallmark film these days Very family friendly Very high school musical without the music numbers very Uh Pretty tie it up in a bow kind of a thing and I really felt that this fell under that Category well, I think one of the main reasons and we'll talk about Shah Rukh Khan. Don't worry Um But I think the main reason is the director who I don't know if you looked him up I think he's not done three films. Okay, and this was like his second film ever Yeah, for the most part I would say I like the movie a lot I would recommend it for people who would like to see a very family friendly Uh film that has some inspiration in it. I think it felt short in trying to be something like Remember the Titans. Yeah, it was actually some shots that were almost identical to remember the Titans. Yeah, he got there He made him run am I He did he made him say they're part of the team right this was yeah, which was all great And I'm sure there's some obviously there's some cultural things we didn't get because we don't know each of the different regions Oh, especially when the girl starts showing up Yeah, and they're doing all of the jokes and the things and the insults about where they come from and being Punjabi and all that I know we missed a slew of things. Yeah, of course my biggest thing was uh, just that the It seemed inexperienced in terms of the directing which makes sense. This is his yeah I think started as an editor right and then he was but there wasn't any there wasn't anything awful I mean, there wasn't there wasn't anything where I went. Oh good grief. I was never I was never so disconnected by the directing That I it distracted me from the story. Yeah. No, it wasn't like I can't think it was very safe like something That's what I think one of the issues it was very like very predictable very predictable very safe like there's not even I don't think there's one thing that It just seemed everything fell into line and like I you knew like All right, they they they rebelled against him. All right two things later Back Okay, it's one of those things. It's just like I I didn't like impress me in terms of that aspect. I enjoyed the The the camaraderie just like I mean remember the titans so same type of story So it's like a very uplifting story and all that kind of stuff. Shahrukh Khan. We can talk about him I thought he did really really well. He's just good all the time. Yeah I think I was still more impressed and my name is Khan. Oh unquestionably by uh by Jeff cuts I I hesitated with that because you know how I thought about that No, but but this is more realistic than dev doff's to me in terms of his his acting Sure So that's why I think I would put this even above dev doff's in terms of his acting Well, and I think he filled not the film. I enjoyed that. Yeah Yeah, I think he filled in a character that a script left pretty hollow Yeah, I didn't get to know much about this guy at all. Yeah, not even if it was actually like true that he Uh sold out India in the beginning, right? I think he didn't and it was just like I think he didn't too I think it was misconception based on true stories that you can tell us But they didn't really clear that right out like entirely like that he didn't do that Right. Uh, and so we just I just assumed like okay. He was just like misrepresented right another thing, right? Uh, and that kind of stuff but um the the whole the whole thing there was a couple actors that were But and that's especially older films that are not great But most of the cast including the girls were really good. I hated the protagonist in it The the guy from the association Oh, yeah, no the antagonist. Yeah, it's sorry. Uh, he just seemed like a character to me. Uh-huh like He was rooting against like somebody. I know I know it That was I understand why the director did it, but it just that's not how things are in real life And so the characters make me very upset unless they're in a comedy unless it's a comedy. Yeah, uh Like a comedy comedy not like something that's supposed to be dramatic exactly based off a true story, right? Um, but I did I I did enjoy some of the songs. Yeah, I thought that the songs I like that one the whole training sequences and playing sequences that had music I thought helped keep me engaged and kept the movie moving forward as did the score Yeah, probably one of my favorite things about this was the music I not all the score. I did have a problem with some of the score though Did you yeah, because it's same thing that happened with I I can't remember what film it was But sometimes he tried to put music in there to make you feel a certain way Oh sure like not not like yeah, not like Good background music, but just like to minute It's like stuff like that. Yeah, that it annoys me But you know most of the time I agree with you that The score was pretty good that especially the songs part I enjoyed when they were actually playing the game I thought those shots were really good. I did too and we don't know this game at all So we can't tell whether or not their playing was believable in terms of their Their level of expertise if you show us basketball baseball football and the martial arts most other things that we were commonly watching all the time We can tell you if they're believable, but I didn't know if these guys were world cup level athletes We were watching them on screen. I did enjoy learning about it though because yeah, I I assumed field hockey was kind of like real hockey, but I think it's it's like real hockey with some soccer aspect to it Uh-huh. Uh, they got I mean, I guess hockey does that penalty penalties at the end if you have a tie as well They do soccer And it's like if you're tied you've got to go to penalty kicks right just like that same kind of thing Yeah, so that that was nice to learn about it because it was Your national sport at one point and it's nothing more right because they don't have it because they don't technically have one We've gone through this couple times. We have Yeah, I I did like for example, I did appreciate where they didn't do caricatures was they didn't give us a stereotype for Australia's coach or uh, england's coach. Yeah, which could have easily just been stereotypical one of my One of my favorite lines on the whole thing was the the british Coach turning to one of his side coaches and saying which one's didi We got that job. Yeah. Oh But yeah, they could have like the australian guy and those players They could have been the quintessential stupid caricature and they didn't do that with those guys Yeah, and I was I was grateful for that and this is I really I felt um I thought they did an a decent job But this could have been great. This could have been a league of their own This could have been remember the titans and I think a lot of that has to do with the Inexperience of this director. I don't think he's still directing I think so. I think it's a combination of the direction as well as the screenplay. I don't know how he got this job Uh, with shabu-kan star. Yeah, maybe he knows somebody. Maybe he's related to somebody. I don't know But I think that's the main thing. It's it was his second film Because it's an incredible story. Yeah It's a great story based on what I love that Uh, if it was just done correctly and it had some elements of that would have surprised me at all And because this was like just such a predictable Film there was nothing especially if you've seen remember the titans as well some of the shots were almost I mean he I think he watched it before to get some inspiration. Yeah Yeah, I think that's what what happened But going back to shabu-kan, which was probably my favorite part of this He was I thought he did really well. It was might have been His most subdued performance. It was what you've seen and I and I felt a He took what I think on the page Is probably a somewhat hollow character and he he gave it life and gave it believability and gave it backstory I wanted to know more about this guy And I believed he was this guy the whole time and I think like you said if the directing was better I think he could have been even better like certain scenes when he got like angry like the way it was shot or written kind of Messed with me a little bit, but I was like I wanted the director to help Him make his scene even greater than because he was giving it at all. He's just I think the shots were Uh, a little off or the those something like that and we're being really nitpicky guys Yeah, we didn't dislike the movie. No at all. No, not at all And if somebody told me they were gonna watch it like if a friend of mine said hey, what about chalk to india? We let him know. Yeah, enjoy it. It's gonna be like an after-school special movie. Yeah, you're gonna love the story It's a true story. That's the main reason to see this is to know this really did happen Yeah, um, they're what I would definitely recommend others over this though, especially if you're not indian Obviously most indians have seen this of course Yeah, the story itself. I didn't know this story Uh, and I I love the fact that this really happened indians must have been so proud Yeah, when this happened, uh and a little side note just a little thing that I've I noticed in the film that It gets me so mad and I've seen it in several films and I know from stupid babies This happens and I want to know how prevalent this is in india and maybe regional When they're at the mcdonald's And those punks start cat calling. Mm-hmm I'm really happy that the girls beat the crap out of them. Yeah And that's what I like to see but what I How how prevalent is that everybody? How much do you ladies have to deal with punks? Who can't call you on a regular basis, especially if you're attractive because I'll let you know something When we come to india If I hear it and see it I won't let it go and that's probably not going to be a good thing if that happens Prevalently like if I was if I was walking with some stupid babies And somebody went by and went hey, baby, they'd have a problem with me Need to really be prepared for that. So let me know I was so happy to watch them. Don't go anywhere with Rick. I was so happy to see SRK when they started the fight just tell him to sit down. I knew what was happening It was this is gonna bond them together But in particular, I like that he he was like not only is it gonna bond them But I'm gonna enjoy watching them kick the crap out of these guys Yeah, I really enjoyed that the the the whole overcoming the sexism That these girls went through I thought was a great story. I thought most of the girls did really really well Some I didn't enjoy as much but the most of the girls I thought did a really good job And I liked the story of women empowerment and overcoming. Yeah, man I thought that that put against you in society How irritated did you get with forgive us but forgive me for forgetting her name But the the the main girl whose story we kind of followed who was engaged to the cricket player We're not engaged, but it was going to be His consistent belittling of her dreams was a deep irritation for me. Oh, yeah As it was supposed to be. Yeah, as it was supposed to be and he walked a thin line of being a caricature as well Yeah, that's what it wasn't there wasn't anything great about that. Honestly, I would have rather than not made it as so obvious More subtle like a League of the wrong. Yeah, like more like we know These guys are dick. You don't have to make it like so obvious Um, yeah, I much I much prefer like an League of their own um, her what's her name the main the main the catcher played by Gina Davis, okay And she wants to play but her husband who was in the military has just come home And now she's gonna be a wife. Yeah, that's illegal. Yeah, if you haven't seen the League of their own Go see it and stop listening right now. Also, but there's no crying in baseball. He yeah, that's right but his character was um Bill Pullman His character in that is the stereotypical guy in the 1950s who wants his wife to be happy building a home And he's not affirming her dreams, but he's not being A mean guy about it. I much preferred that where he's a likable guy. It's more realistic It's more realistic where he's just not this self and maybe this guy was so maybe they had to depict this guy this way Which wouldn't surprise me if he was yeah So Case in point if he was he was but for the believability and the dynamics of it being More interesting. I just I just prefer when they're more realistic like that because Then it shows people like you they don't have to be this much Obvious to leave a person right enough fulfilling what you write, right? You see the struggle they had Yeah, you could still see the struggle even if he's a nice guy But then at the certain moments you see he shows his true colors, right? And so he's but then again this this guy in real life may have yeah, he may have been You know, you can yeah, but like I said, I didn't hate it But I didn't love it I probably give it a c plus honestly and that's mostly for srk. I enjoyed him and his story I like it a little more I gave it a b and that's because I don't mind Tying it up in a bow and letting it be saccharin and you know a style Yeah, yeah for me. It's like just it's a feel-good movie to watch and particularly at the end I enjoyed watching this and knowing this really did happen I didn't feel really connected to the characters in the film where I felt a personal connection for them What I felt was the larger picture of the reality of this story and what it must have been like for the real girls And the real coach and all of india. Yeah, that's what moved me It was the reality of the story not the movie itself. So yeah, I gave it a b Let us know what other srk's we should watch after this. I know There's a ton of how we know Also feel-talking the other one is gold. Is that right with with akshay, right? Yeah, is that one worth reacting to because I'd like to learn more about the sport. I love sports 100% I mean we like cricket now and so it's like if there's a different sport. I love sports and one last little thought um After watching the ted talk, I have a level of appreciation for srk Uh even more knowing the kind of guy that he is and his communication skill and his intellect and so watching him portray this character and after watching That his my name, uh, my name is com. Yeah He's just I really am enjoying and understand the star power of the guy like the guy a lot. Yeah, so let us know, please
