 No slumping. No slumping. No slumping. We don't want to see any slumpin' from you, man. I can slump. Hi George Stupider X, it's your idiot, I'm Corbett. I'm Ashley. I'm Rick. And please follow us on Instagram and Twitter! All juicy, confident. So juicy. And take your first photo on Patreon. Yes. And follow us on official Twitter accounts. Why don't you? Unless you don't like sarcasm. True. Don't follow me. And if that's the case, why are you here? But today we are doing a movie review of a film that just came out. We actually went to a movie theater and sat in a chair. Yeah, someone sat right next to me. It was weird. We had the four seats in the theater. We were the only ones there, except for one other person. Who chose to select their seat right next to us. The ticket lady Denise actually said, That's weird. Who does that? They saw that those seats were selected and chose to sit Rosa. We were the only tickets that were taken and she was like, I want to sit right by those people. Anyways, enough about that. She can rest your leg during the movie. Yeah, she was very gentle there. Okay, that's good. But we are going to review Article 15. This is going to be a small, non-spoiler review. Just because it's new. I want to tell you a little bit about it. And then tell you if we want to go see it or not. And then we're going to get into spoilers, obviously. No spoilers! You want to read the synopsis for me? I would love to read the synopsis. It sounds like a kind of fish you would eat. Okay. Set against the backdrop of... How do we say this word? What? Corbin? Corbinized it? No, I don't want to. You shouldn't. Badom? Something. I think it's badom. Whatever. Something. Okay, so the backdrop of something. Badom, gang rape. Gang rape and murder case. And then we're going to do Article 14. Um... Anabav Sinha. Anabav Sinha's? Article 15 is a thrilling investigative drama based on true events. Gotcha. And it is directed by... Say this name for me, Rick, please. Anabav Sinha. Anabav Sinha. Writer and director. Yeah, Anabav. Director? Anabav, I believe. Anabav Sinha. He directed Mulk last year. And Rah won. A couple of years back. And obviously... Because we're in everything if it's Duhum 3. You don't know about that, sir. And it's starring... Say his name, because I can't. So Yushman Kurana. Yes. Yes, Andahan. Andahan. That's how you say it. Yeah. If you're new here. If you're new here. That's how you say that. In a whole bunch. We know. I'm an egg. I'm an egg. Other people. It was carbonized. Yes. But, obviously, this film, it also has some controversy behind it in terms of people thinking it's a propaganda film. We're not talking about any of that. Obviously, we don't know about the specifics of this event. And I think one of the things is like they explain the murderers and rapers as a certain cast. And it's supposed to be a different cast. Right. I don't really give a shit. Which we did? They murdered and raped somebody. It doesn't really... Doesn't matter who it was. And I think it was one of the points of the film. Yeah. I do, too. I think that was like, rape is rape, regardless of what cast system you're from, or religion, or whatever. So, like, we're not going to talk about that. Anything about that. Yeah, because we're so ignorant. We would never presume to know that we know what we're talking about when it comes to the tensions of the cast and religion and politics in India. We're still learning stuff. This is just about the film. Yeah. So, yeah, it started off with... You become spoilers. No. Oh. No, we're going to do a small little... Oh, a small little... Small little... Okay, I heard you say it's starting off with... No, no. Make it clear. You've clarified this. Okay, so what were your initial thoughts of the film? No spoilers or anything? Total, like, of the whole film. Yeah, of the whole film. One word went in my head. When it ended, one word went in my head and it was solid. I just thought it was... At every level, I thought it was solid. Absolutely. Script. The score is more than solid. There's a song at the end. I don't know who it is. You can let us know if that's like a rap group or just a bunch of different rappers. They were fantastic. They were so good. Yeah, great song at the end. The score? Score. As a whole... They had a whole... They had Bob Dylan in there. I know. It was a great theme for the entire thing. Yeah. Because I think there was one line in it that said how often... How long can you... What's the line in it? How long can you see it but can you don't see? Yeah, pretend you don't see. Yeah. Which is kind of... It was very cool to see them take because Bob Dylan, which you guys probably know, this is better than we do, but in America here in the 60s, he was the voice of a generation about what's wrong with America. And similarly, the message that's being conveyed in this is that... Which is one of the first films we've seen that is talking about... We've gotten messages on Instagram and even on the channel of people saying, we are happy that you love India and that you are just so enamored with us, but you've got to know that there's a dark underbelly that's... We know. And there is. Everywhere. And we know. We've been paying attention to news stories. We know about them. It happens everywhere. It does. It's not just over in India. In very different ways, but we can talk about that more. Yeah. So solid. That, the acting. Yeah. The whole cast. What's his name? Our lead? Yes. I'm sorry. Ayushman... Oh God, it's better over here. I have him over here. Ayushman Korana. I'm mad that I'm not having his name in my memory yet. He was phenomenal. Fantastic. His piano playing was spot on. I didn't bring it up. I didn't bring it up. There you go, everybody. Bam. Little jab there. But the entire cast, there was two... The two that were in love. The ensemble. The ensemble was solid. Yeah. But the two... The one that... And then his fiancee? Yes. They were fantastic. Fantastic. Great ensemble. This was one of the first films where I was thinking to myself... Who are they? Yeah. One, as usual. Who are they? This was just released here in America in the fall. I'd be thinking, hmm, maybe a SAG ensemble now for these guys. Yeah. Very important for Americans to see this film as well. Oh yeah, for sure. But yeah, the entire cast was amazing. The score was amazing. It's beautiful moments. The directing, I think was probably the star of it. He saw it again. So good. Because he had won... There was all around the whole directing, obviously the score and all that kind of stuff. But there were some shots, man. Some specific ones that were just so over the top. Beautiful. Yeah. And it was just... It was strong. Yeah. Messages and shots. Things that you wouldn't expect to be beautiful. Being beautiful, yeah. But different, like we have repeatedly talked about beautiful shots when we refer to Sanjay. It's not extraordinary. It's totally different. It's very simple. Totally different beauty. It's natural beauty. Natural beauty. Very much. Yeah. Not very different. Yeah, almost like a great photographer capturing something that's not even lit. It's just a moment that's caught. That's how I feel like this director did. Very much. And I'm quite interested in Mulk as well. Yeah. Because they say it's quite similar and they had... Apparently he's like a political guy, but like I said, don't really care. Yeah. And I think everybody was... I think everybody, Ayushman especially, he just carried the film. It was so good. He was. And you were rooting for him the whole time. There were a couple instances of the things I didn't like, obviously, but it's almost like every film now. It's the little supporting characters sometimes. Really small. Yeah. Really small. Yeah. This one wasn't even... I kind of like... Brushers off now. I don't know. You can let me know. How do they do extra work in India? Right. Because there's a whole process here in Hollywood of... Yeah. How do they do that? There's union actors. There's non-union actors. And then you can... Then you go from background to featured background. Yeah. Where you're not really even a... And then there's extra... Right. Yeah. So let me know. And then there was one audio issue that was really annoying. Which... Was it talking? I don't know when that guy was crying at the end. Yeah. I can't give away anything. But, yeah, there was one audio issue we could talk about later. But... Yeah, when he was... Yes. I would definitely give this a... I mean, I enjoyed it. I'd give it an A. Solid A. I would give it an A. I loved it. It was gripping the whole time. Yeah. I never thought it was long. It never really dragged for me because I was interested. It was educational. Which is one of the things I liked about it. I don't know if you did, too. Yeah. Because as an American, we know about the caste system. Right. But we don't know the details of what's still going on. Obviously, it was way worse back in the day. But obviously... So it was very educational in that way and I liked it. And I think a lot of Americans should see it. And I'd imagine it's equally as important for Indians to see it. That live in big cities, kind of like this guy. Who wasn't aware of it because he was separated from it. Yeah. It seems like in America, the coasts are more progressive and accepting of different people and different lifestyles here on the coast. So there's New York or LA. And it seems like the big cities tend to be that way in India. In India. At least that's our understanding. Which makes sense. Even if we're not there. It's usually stereotypically the more educated areas. Because that's where the universities are. So that is where you get more people from different places in the world. The more popular places. I think that's general consensus everywhere. Yes, 100% go see this film. Let us know what you thought about it. Like I said, I don't care about the whole political stuff behind it. So that's what you're going to talk about. Yeah, we don't get tied into that. It's just about the film. So now spoilers. If you haven't seen it, go away now. Come back later and talk to us. And finish at this point. Mark, the notation of how many minutes in you are. I think come back to those minutes. But yes. Thank you. But yes, now we can talk a little bit more about it. And our likes, dislikes, anything we loved, anything we learned. You know, something I love that right off the top of my head is he maintained the pacing throughout. Yes. It was a fairly consistent pace. It didn't drag in one place he speed up. No, rentably good. Yeah. Just maintained this consistent, and he gripped you and then surprised you multiple times. Multiple times. Like I think when he, like I said, this is the spoilers. When he shot that one guy. Total shot. I was like, because I was like, this guy's, we can talk about him more because I really liked his character. Me too. Not liking him, but I liked what they did with his character. Yes. But when he shot him, I think we all, like, we're like, oh, didn't see that coming. I wasn't ready for that. Yeah. Okay. Is it still recording? Yeah. Okay. Sorry. Make it sure. Agreed. Yeah. There's a bunch of different shocking things like that. There's also suspense moments where you thought something, they were going to find something, and then they didn't. Yeah. It kept you light. It reminded me with the score and the direction of the pacing, a lot of some of the moments of the ending of season one of sacred games. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? We had that real heavy tent. I mean, moments where Ashley's starting to go, oh no, what are we going to see? Yeah. Oh yeah. Like when they went in the shed? Yeah. The score that just goes with it, like the music just builds with those very intense moments, and that's what gets me. Yeah. If it didn't have the music, I'd be like, okay, what's going to happen? The music just carries you to it. This director is very good with the score. Oh yeah. Like he knows how to use the score very, very well, which like one of the problems I had with Kavir saying is I think he was trying to inflect emotion when he could have didn't really need it. Sure. This guy knew when it didn't need it. Sure. And he knew when it needed it. He knew when it needed it. Yeah. It assisted the scene as a whole. I can see that. My personal preference obviously in everything is I love that I love the whole film as a whole. And I love it over the top, but I see where someone would say it kind of got a little sugary on me. But yeah, we can talk about some of the actors. That's really what I want to talk about. There was a ton. My two fave obviously outside of the main guy. Who is so awesome. Say his name again just so I can finally remember what his name is. The proper pronunciation is Ayushmen Kurana. I believe. Ayushmen. Ayushmen? Ayushmen. Ayushmen Kurana. Ayushmen Kurana. I do believe that's right. Ayushmen Kurana. Which is terrible. We've known him since Andahan. You're phenomenal, man. You did a phenomenal job. You're completely different than you were. We've only understood you. You're watching this, of course. But you're so different in this than you were in Andahan. And so I really respect that. And he was very reserved. And so it's hard to stand out like he did. But he really did. He carried it so well. Proof that he's a mature actor in that. Like Nawazidim. And others. Yes. And it's really... It takes a seasoned, strong, good actor to be in a role like this. And not be concerned about will I be engaging? Will I be entertaining? Will I be watchable? All of that has to go out. Because no one in their right mind is thinking that when they're just doing their job and living their life. He never tried to do anything. Which made him even more interesting to watch. Absolutely. Fully believed him. I believed everybody for the most part in this thing. The fat guy? What's his name? Okay. What was his name? The hefty guy. Yeah. What was his name and the thing? Just so I can find him here. It's with a B, I believe. It's a long name with a B. B, B, B. Yeah. I believe so. I couldn't tell if we had seen Ernie because he looked a little similar to the guy in Udapunja. Udapunja in a similar to the guy in Barfi. Yeah, Barfi. And in PK. Yeah, but I was like, it doesn't exactly look like him. I don't know if it was him. But I loved what he did. He did do really well. But I loved what the director did with his character. Yeah. Because he was shown a lot like feeding straight animals. Which is something you think of like a really nice person. A nice person. A nice guy. And just being this kind of like a pushover. Yeah. Kind of scared. Kind of scared. And let's not go into this when really the dude's hardcore. Hardcore. Evil, corrupt. Yeah. Not just hardcore. Like. Evil. Yeah. A murderer. Yeah. Rapist. Yeah. Rapist. So I love what they did with that character in terms of making him so like complex. And not just making this. Yeah. This guy's clearly a villain. Yeah. They showed him like as a human. He loves animals. Yeah. And he's going to help them when they're sick and get a vet to come. Yeah. It's a different topic but I don't want to forget it. Because we just mentioned that obviously the central thing going on is rape. Yeah. And I'm, I, there's a couple things, literally like two things in film that I just detest. Yeah. And one of them is I hate to see rape on film. And I like the objectifying sexually and hurting of a woman is just detestable to me to see. This was so well done to depict the horror of what that, because you've got to tell a story of, you can't not tell rape stories. You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. But I don't want to see a woman being raped. So I thought that the director did a master of like, I'm thinking of the moment when he walks into the room in the school. And you see it. And he's getting the flashes of what was really going on in there. And you see the tied up feet. He showed us enough to disturb me and make me sick. Mm-hmm. But not. Make you feel so uncomfortable you can't continue watching. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And then the others, I don't know who they are or if they're the average. Okay. That woman who I turned to you and said, here she is. She's so good. She's so good. Yeah. She's the fiance of that. Yes. Both of them. So good. Because he was captivating every scene. Like, well, obviously that one with them two was the moment with this breakdown. It was beautiful. And the way they shot that and just how he collapsed. Yeah. And they left it on them. Oh, it was so beautiful. Beautiful. One of the best scenes in the whole film. Yep. So when he was meeting with Osh. A Yushman. A Yushman. Yes. When he met with him. Yes. And they were talking. Yeah. They were sitting down with his fiance. It was right next to him. Yeah. That whole scene was so, so good. The dialogue between the two. And then obviously the one who's that guy that was the sweeper at one point. Yeah. He was so sweet. He was sweet. I know. That was a great scene they had where he slapped him. Mm-hmm. It was. Yeah. The sweeper. Yeah. Guess which is the whole. Obviously. Coming from America it's a very foreign concept to us of a caste system. Yeah. We've got prejudices. Obviously. Obviously. But not to the level of. But not untouchables. Yeah. It's basically the same thing as obviously we have racism here. Right. Very prevalent and always has been. Right. But we don't. The caste system is basically another form of racism. Right. With it. But we don't get to the level of this group of people or the ones who do the toilet cleaning. Yeah. And I'm not even going to touch you because you're a toilet cleaner. I mean some people probably do. They may feel that way. But not as a culture. But as a whole. And it was eye-opening. And I know it's obviously not all of India. It's. And that's what this guy also said. He was like. Like. I think one of the best lines in the whole thing was when he said. I used to tell people to come to India all the time. I was so proud. I was so proud of India. But how can I be proud? Of this. This is also going on. Mm-hmm. And she's like. She's not proud. I'm very proud. But am I supposed to be proud of this? Right. Because this is going. And obviously that happens. We have the KKK and Nazis still here in America. Woo-hoo. Yeah. Now it's so many people. Yeah. So obviously. Evil, awful things happen everywhere. But I thought that was a great line. It was. Yeah. And to bring that conflict of what he was going through. Yeah. He loves his country. And there's this sense of like patriotism that he has. And his love. Exactly. But at the same time he's like there are so many horrible things. Yeah. And feeling this conflict of I've never seen this side of it before. Right. How can I. How do I work with this emotion of I still love my country but I hate my country. Yeah. And this we've seen this in a lot of different things now. And it's not just India specific because it happens all over the world. Is the corruption of politics and law enforcement. Yep. Yeah. We've seen a lot of that. Yeah. I think that's pretty prevalent. Pretty high. Yeah. Which is sad. But it obviously once again happens everywhere. It does. And it's just a sad thing. But yeah. It shouldn't happen. That's kind of the whole reason why we have law enforcement and all that. One of my favorite things about because I got to learn. You know about the castings but you don't know all the details. Like the heartbreaking stuff that happened was they were drinking out of water out of their hands. Yeah. Because they wouldn't drink out of glasses in front of him. Yeah. So it's like what. Like we don't touch you. It's like no. We're less than you. Yeah. Like what? And then he was wanting something off somebody's plate. And he was like no. I'll get you. I'll get you. I'll get you a new one. It's like. Wait. What? Yeah. Which reminded me. Wait. We may still have this but it reminded me of the similar moment in Green Book when the guy is there cleaning up the place and he doesn't want the drink out of the same glass that his wife gave him. And she finds the glass in the trash again. I felt in this the same way I do feel watching those films. Yeah. How can you think that? Like. Exactly. It's so important to me. It just doesn't. It just doesn't. Like I said. No. This is not like all of India. It's gotten a thousand percent better than it used to be. Obviously it still goes on. Yeah. Most of these stupid babies would agree with us about. Which I think is what this was trying to show. That parts of India it's still like this. Yeah. And it's still a prominent thing in the society that was out over for thousands of years. And this also gets blown out of proportion. But I've gotten messages and we do know about this that there are places in India where rapes like this happen and they're covered up and no one's punished. Yeah. It just happens like that. One of the things that was pissing me off for a while was that everybody was kind of blowing it off. It was like shut in close place. Like honor killing. Right. Okay. Wait. What? Right. Which I saw. That makes it better. I saw. Exactly. That's better. But I saw. Where it's killing children. Perfect. Yeah. I think it's a Netflix documentary. I forgot what it's called. I think it's Netflix. Pretty sure. Specifically about a current event from last year of honor killing happening. And I want to say it happened in I don't want to say where it happened. But I know it was it was either Afghanistan or.
