 Do you remember during Sacred Games, there were a couple of times I think when we commented on I Learned something from Noaz's character? It's all he really says in this as well. You know what it is, right? Yeah. First, we've been reaction to your day-to-day thumb, Corbin. I am Rick. And you can pause it. I need to be like on Twitter. Get the fricking juicy content. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And pay attention on our fellow official Twitter account. And yes, you can believe the title. This is true. This is really finally watched. Which? Dahum 3. Yes. And let me tell you, I'm glad we waited. Somebody's looking at this one. What? I thought this was King's applause. And we've got to be, we probably are the people who took the longest. And of all the films to do this with, this was not made as a part one and a part two. No, it was made as a single film. Yeah, I know. And we took, what, ten months? Nine months? Nine months? Well, we're so stupid. Sorry. Anyways. I'm a buffoon. But yes, we will finally watch Gangster Wasp, her part directed by Anyakashia. Yep. Starring Nawazid and Siddiqui. And a ton of people. A huge cast. We'll watch them around. We'll watch them around. We've got a bunch of folks that we've known and watched for a while. The guy who sang that song. Yep. We know a lot of the faces and just don't know their names yet, the way you guys do. We're getting there. But yes, sorry it took so long. I think, better late than never, that's what I think. I think we watched it too soon, the first one, honestly. I do. Probably so. Because I think one of our biggest gripes, I don't know if you remember, was the length. It wasn't really two and a half hours long. Then it was way too early. Was that when we were first getting acclimated to an Indian runtime? It was one of the first things. And we were concerned about a two and a half hour runtime. Dil Chaka High was like three hours. The gun was almost four. I know. So like I said, I think it was a little too soon for us. I'm telling you, when I watch American movies now, it's like, oh, it's over? Yeah. Wow. The hour and a half runtime. Yeah, 90 minute run times is like what? Anyways, yes, 100% spoiler review. You haven't seen it. I'm pretty sure you've seen it. But yes, your initial thoughts, Rick. Godfather, Scarface, you can go down the list. I consider the Gangs of Wasp, and it's not a one and two for me. It is one film. And on IMDB, it's listed as one film. Oh yeah, it's a five hour film. And it is. This is, for me, one of the greatest gangster movies ever made. And if someone were to say to me, this is their favorite of all time, I probably wouldn't argue with them and say, I get it. I 100% agree. I'm really glad you agree. Because I was ready to play this good movie on three. Well, I said, I had just finished watching it. I was talking to Andrani and I was telling her, I said, I can't imagine Corbin doesn't feel the same way, but it'll be really funny if he doesn't. Because I consider this, this is like we've... The pinnacle is header for us, right? Yeah. This for me is right up in that category of one of the best things we've ever seen. It's also very different than header. It's totally different. Very, very different. But I just mean as far as us being blown away. I actually, I think I would watch this over to Godfather. Not to mention, if you haven't seen Godfather, go watch Godfather. Parts one and two. It's one of the most amazing masterpieces of cinema ever. But since this is more recent. Yeah. So the graphics and the violence is much more up to date, even though the violence in Godfather is amazing. But it is. And for the day, it was over the top. Absolutely. But this has so many elements in it that I just loved. And I love, even though there's not two parts, the second part stepped it up a thousand notches. 100%. It's the same way Godfather part one and two. Part two, many people consider to be the better film. I consider it to be the better film. But they're one film. Yeah. It's all just like this. And I believe, I think it was Scorsese that said this is one of his, he loves this film. He did. Yeah. He pointed out that this is for him. And I get it. And I also said this syndrome. I was talking about the film and giving a rundown of it. My take. She hasn't seen it yet. No. But she's going to now based on my recommendation for it. And the, I don't want to compare him to Scorsese or Tarantino, though those are the first directors that come to mind. Because I feel like he is enough of a standalone director of his own that he's, he, I mean, yeah, you can make a gangster movie. Everybody's going to say Scorsese because he's the king of the gangster movies. Right. And Tarantino is unique and graphic and dialogue driven. There's so much dialogue driven stuff in this. I have so much great stuff to say about this film. Yeah. We can talk about it all the time. But he's his own director. I'm very glad that the subs on this one had cursing because I don't know if you remember. I do. The first episode. I do. And that was much better on this. That's my biggest complaint. I think it was on Netflix at the time. Yeah. Because we had to rent this. Yeah. It's like, it would say sister lover. Yeah. So like, that was my biggest gripe with one of the first ones is that there wasn't any cussing and then people are like, what the heck are you talking about? I'm talking about this thing is freaking loaded with profanity. This one thankfully had all the cussing because it just takes you out of the world if you're not, they're not talking like they're in the world really. But so this, the subs on this one for us were way, way better than the, when we watched the first one. But the first guy we could talk about is the, one of the under-speeded, greatest actors I've ever seen. It's in a noise in the city. Yeah. That's the other thing I told him, Johnny. I said, Corbin's bromance within the law has just left the universe. The man is amazing. Yeah. Also just the what, what he let, this is really early in his career. This is one of his biggest breaks. Yeah. In his career. And you understand why. But the, the first moment when I knew I'd cuss you up who we will talk about because he's the biggest reason for this amazing film, obviously. We were 15 minutes in the film and he decides to whack off his friend's head. And on your head cuss you up does not let you look away. Yeah. It is like five minutes. It feels like I'm just, just slicing his head open. Just sporting everywhere. Oh, it was amazing. Amazing. And it reminded me of like, I don't know if you've ever seen Swinney Todd. Oh, yes. Even though like, there would be a lot of blood if you were cutting up somebody's head. Yeah. He hit the arteries. It was swinging everywhere. And so it just sprang. And I was like, when is he going to let us, when is he going to cut? Yeah. I was hoping based on those movements, I was thinking, okay, he's not just slitting his throat. He's chopping his head off. Please don't cut away and let me watch Nawaz lift his bloody head. And he didn't disappoint. Yeah. It was one of my favorite moments of Inglourious Bastards. There's a lot of moments like it's like we said similar Tarantino but very different directing style. Yeah. But one of my favorite moments with Tarantino in that film is when the Bear Jew, have you seen that film? Oh, yeah. Many times. Okay. He was going to come hit him with a bat and he thought they were just going to cut to black. No. You saw him hit his head multiple times with a baseball bat. And the blood, yeah. I love those moments in films because it makes people uncomfortable and I love making people uncomfortable. Yeah. But not weird ways though. Just want to clarify that. Thank you. Really? But yes. Weird shirt. I love making people uncomfortable. But not in weird ways. But yeah. That's on the back. I loved the whole Nawaz at Insidigi performance and his whole arc throughout the entire thing. Yeah. That's another thing where it's reminiscent but in no way a copy. And I say this by comparison because it's as good. It's in no way a copy. But the relationships of a father and son in this film were very similar to the way Vito and Michael Corleone are in a family. And I love the moment. I thought it was a very believable and an important moment that he had where he really breaks down with his wife. Yeah. And toward the end. And it's that Michael Corleone moment because Michael was the one who wasn't supposed to be in the family. Yeah. And I loved her singing to him. And I just I felt the arc. I felt for the number of characters in this film. If this had been an American film, this undoubtedly would have been nominated for everything including best actor and cat. It would have gotten best picture. It would have gotten probably best score. It would have gotten best makeup. It would have. That was the other thing they did in addition to some of the graphic violent bloody makeup. A lot of the old age makeup was extremely nuanced and nicely delicate in the aging process for some people. Little things under the eyes. And we've complained quite a bit sometimes from films we've seen from India that didn't do that well. No. And just the ensemble work. This would have had a sag nomination for the whole ensemble because everybody in this was so good. I don't know what happened that year. Why didn't get nominated for minimum foreign film. Maybe it was the length because I guess Americans, especially since it's one film and it's labeled as one film. If this was an American thing, they would have cut it up and they would have released part one. They would have made it three parts. Yeah. They would have released part or done it as a series. That's how it would have been done because Americans don't have the attention span for it. Even though the second one, I think they would. I would sincerely. The second one's fast enough to where people would be interested in what's going on and be able to keep up. But since you have to get all the way to there, even though part one's really, really good as well, it's slower just like Godfather I. And so I'm wondering if that's why the academy and people in America didn't... It's got to be. I know people did take notice. Well, Martin Scorsese. Martin Scorsese did because he's a cinephile. He knows. He knows and loves film. This is absolutely one of the greatest gangster films I have ever seen. It is instantly, as I was watching it, I realized when we got over halfway through, I thought this is right up there. If someone were to say to me, Rick, what in your opinion are the greatest gangster films of all time? They're going to know I'm going to say Godfather. They're going to know I'm going to say Scarface. They won't know. Yeah, good fellas. They aren't going to know that I'm going to bring up Gangs of Wasp. It's going to be... And Gangs of New York. But that's not... That's a gang story. I adore Gangs of New York. I feel that's more of a personal story than it is about even the gang of the so central. Yeah, but it is without question. This isn't an India cinema, American cinema. This is cinema. This is one of the greatest gangster films. And if somebody said, like I said, if someone said to me this is their favorite, they think it's the best gangster film of all time, I would not argue with that. Yeah. And I thought there's so many people... I love to what we were talking about, was his arc of it of almost reluctantly joining the family. But since everybody else... Little dabbled in it. Basically in the first 15 minutes, they killed off everybody from the first film. I was like, okay, so we need no catching up here. They're all dead. Yeah. But yeah, they killed them all. And so he was like the only one left. And so he felt this responsibility to avenge his father. Yeah. And I feel like that's the only reason he did it, but he had come to terms his entire life with basically, I'm going to die. Like he said multiple times, that God's going to kill me or my neighbor will. My neighbor will exactly. And so he was ready to do it, which is why I think he was so cool under pressure all the time. Right. I never saw him really flinch. No. Like at all. Like even when his house was being shot up, he was just walking around the house. And then all that whole scene where he's like, you want to get into that? Followed him from the, you want to get into that? Holy cow, man. That was Birdman level brilliant. And I wanted to know if Anya Raghashyap had done that as a full, because the points where he goes into a hallway and it gets black is a lot like that full seven minute shot in Birdman where, but we know that that was a full seven minute shot. So I'm suspecting there were no cutaways. I'm suspecting that was a full, that was just cinematic brilliance. Yeah. The whole falling through the house and then having him, when he got hurt and then when he jumped and then he breaks his leg, holding it and then he goes back out to the front and I love the tie-in because they brought us back to the beginning of Gangs of Philosopher and tied that up and then kept going. I also, one of the, just his great writing and great directing. I was expecting definite. To kill Faisal. At the moment when he had been shooting up his arch nemesis on the, on the toilet, right? I think he was sitting on a toilet. Wasn't he in the bathroom? Yeah, he was. And he's just don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, right? I was waiting. I said, here it comes. I was waiting for definite to stick the gun up to his head and shoot him kind of all, if you haven't seen the departed, there's a critical moment in the part where somebody you don't expect to die dies unexpectedly. I was expecting that. And it didn't happen. I thought, huh. And then when he's sitting in the back of the car, how great a moment is that? The blood coming out of his mouth. I thought definite got him and around the corner of the window. Did you see definite? You saw that coming, right? Oh, yeah. I saw it coming because I figured actually Nawaz's character wanted it to happen as well because that's what the whole thing was at the end when he was finally getting his arch nemesis. The person that basically destroyed his whole family and that his life has been about, that's why he drilled into him with hundreds and hundreds of bullets. Yeah. And he went so like, I'm hoping a lot of people got uncomfortable during that scene. They're like, okay, we get it. His entire life was trying to end this. Right. And that was his, basically, that was his purpose. And he was like, I'm not leaving here. Right. The police are going to kill me, but I think he knew that definite was going to kill him. Yeah. Or definite at that point, saw that he was far gone. Right. And he was like, he was kind of cuckoo because he wasn't leaving. He was just letting everybody else die. And so that was ridiculous. I loved the moment, like the fact that they, once again, with the head chopping off, they just sat there and let him watch us and watch him get bullet drilled into him for minutes. A long time. That was very Tarantino. As I loved the whole hospital sequence, it was just so great. And I also loved little things like, I don't know if you laughed out loud, but I did, the whole, the natural, and there were several moments like this where Nawaz and Tadiki's on the phone, Faisal's on the phone, and he wants to know what definite's real name is. Yeah. That whole scene was hysterical. His name's definite. What does definite mean? It means definite. Yeah, but what was his real birth name? And if you watch Nawaz and Tadiki, he is, you think you're watching a guy having this conversation, really getting frustrated and listening and responding. And it's just, he's filled with great memories of that. Absolutely. And that toilet scene, this film is not based on a true story, but it's based on real people and real events. That moment happened to somebody. Really. They said, like I said, this is not based on... Right, but it's... It's kind of like The Godfather. The Godfather isn't based on real people, but those kinds of events took place in the Mafia. Yeah, apparently this guy that got shot off when they tried to take him off the toilet, his flesh fell off his bones. Because he was just shredded. Because he was just shredded from bullets. Wow. And so it was kind of based on true events that happened in Wasipur. But yeah, which was crazy. And there were moments too that totally shocked me. Like, I didn't see and was shocked, like appalled at the two women who got assassinated just out of the blue. Yeah. When he just went in there and was like... Right in the head. She's like, is your arm okay? And just... And again, reminiscent of Scorsese, but totally his own mantle of directorship. I loved the moment when Noaz went into the place and he made the guy shave his head off. Yeah. Just a killer right after. Just to shame him. Yeah. I laughed so many times. And the songs, how about... This is where the subs did such a great job, I felt, because the lyrics and the songs and the vulgarity that they were being conveyed were sometimes flat out hysterically funny that that was what was being sung while this is going on screen. Yeah. The score that... On your car shop and the... She... This composer... Is this it right now? Yes. And there's very little left on her... I don't know what's going on and why. I don't know if she stopped, but if you go to her IMDB page, I was astonished to see so little on it both past and present. I don't know what the deal is, because I felt that this was like Oscar level. Yeah. And it was such an interesting score too, because at certain moments you had basically dubstep going on, which was basically him telling you what was going on in that character's brain. Exactly. Those songs were representative of the characters. Yeah. They were what's going on in their brain. They feel like a rock star. There's just... They're almost like high. Right. They're just going crazy. Yeah. It was either the character representation or the scenario representation. And it was brilliant. So brilliant. And so different for India. You don't see that a lot. You see a lot of the traditional stuff going on, the music going on in the background. I bet that's why Scorsese, among many reasons, loves this, because Scorsese, music is very, very important to him. He's done a documentary on the Rolling Stones. Everything he selects musically for his things is really important to him. Example, gangs of New York. He wanted to choose pieces of music that were representative of the era and from the era when he used an actual piece of music. So the fact that the music is so on point. And it is. I feel like if this had been a film that had been released in America and no one was thinking about it in anything other than a film, this would have had multiple Oscar nominations. Multiple Oscar nominations. I forget who came out that same year, but Nawaz should have been nominated for Best Actor as well and could have won, because that was such an amazing performance of his. And also we could talk about the whole cast. Rajkumar Rao's character. I barely recognized him when he first came on screen. And then I was like, oh yeah, that's Rajkumar. This is so exciting. But his character was so interesting and different from, I know we've seen very little of him, but we know his reputation is like one of the best actors out of India. Right. And it showed in this. When he was sparring with Nawaz and Nsidiki, acting wise not actually. It was really fun to watch. Also one of my other favorite guys was the gay guy. What was his name? The young kid. What was his name? I don't know. I don't know. Perpendicular. There you go. Yeah, yes. I thought he did really, really well actually. I thought everybody did well. I thought the actor who played definite did well. Yeah. I thought his mother was great. I thought his wife was great. I thought all of the surrounding characters, Sultan, who we've seen, wasn't Sultan in, wasn't he the guy who was in, with who you just mentioned, who's in the film as well. Rain is just dying right now. Rajkumar Rao? Yes. He was with Rajkumar Rao in that film with the one, it's got the one name, the name of the main character. Yeah. He's the same, right? They were in Newton together. Yeah. He's the same guy they played in Sacred Games. Correct. Which that's another thing. It's very obvious that Netflix was like, why wouldn't you want this director and this actor? And that, I just, I am so impressed with this and with Sacred Games. He's the director of the ship's capacity as the director. Obviously we knew Nawaz. But his ability to bring out what he did and the casting of all, there wasn't anybody who didn't do a great job in all of the small, and this has a lot of small roles. Yeah. Surrounding it that if they're not done well, we'll throw you off track. Especially when everything else is so good. You know the other parts, it was a small part, but part I really loved that just kept coming up was the singer. I did too. Every single time. It was the same guy. When somebody died. Just kept singing like he was having the best time of his life. Yeah. After somebody just died, I thought it was hilarious. This is one of the things that I love about, like I said, he's not Tarantino, but one of the things that I love about Tarantino, like the fact that his films are so dark, but I laugh so much in Quentin Tarantino films. I do too. And I laughed, you might be surprised, or maybe not, I laughed so out this film. Oh yeah, I had a good time. Like, I laughed when he was, and it dropped off because I was enjoying it so much. I'm with you. I am with you. And that's also why I had to keep my voice down when I watched The Joker as well. Because those moments in films, certain moments in The Joker that you know, that they just excite me so much, that they're just showing this and people are uncomfortable around me, I start laughing. Because I'm enjoying it. I have nothing, but this is A plus Oscar level. I cannot wait to watch another Anyarkashiya film. And I know you've been telling us that of course, he's one of the best actor. And oh, another moment from that, not moment, but another thing that I really appreciated him putting in the thing, one obviously in the waz, and a lot of people in this film were obsessed with Bollywood films. Yeah. And he made a big statement, and it's about like everybody wants to be a Bollywood superstar. Love that scene. Love that scene. Yeah. He's talking about how he's survived for so long and gives that a yes. Absolutely. I love that he was making a statement because like he does that from, I know his reputation basically from what you guys have told us, but like he makes such different films and likes to make points in his films. And likes anti-heroes. Likes anti-heroes. Yeah. And once again, I'm not saying he was glorifying anything in this. Not at all. People are dumb. But like because they think, I saw a review that said, he thinks that since these people look so cool killing people, it was glorifying. I'm like, shut up. It's a goddamn film. They're telling a story. It's just, it's annoying. These kinds of things don't change the way people think for people who actually think. Yeah. I, anyways. But yeah, I can't wait to watch another, you know, I can't wait to watch another Nawaz and Sadiki film. Of course. But I cannot wait to watch another Unyorked Kashiya film. Yeah. So please let us know. I give this a plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus. Off the charts. This is one of my favorite movies all time. Yeah. Absolutely. And it is again, one of the greatest gangster films. And I would encourage anybody who's watching it. I agree with you. I think this is one of those films. It would help. Like example, I got the joke when he was buying bananas that he was probably Lucy quote unquote. And I, the only reason I know that is because of having been exposed to the, it was Andrani who taught me about bananas. So the more, the more you know about And they made a lot of Indian culture. Some con jokes. Yeah. They talked about, they talked about the more you're going to appreciate this. And even having, I would, I would encourage an American audience to watch Sacred Games first. And then come in here. Maybe. Because you'd appreciate Nawaz, you'd appreciate Unyorked Kashiya, and you'd get a sense for what he's trying to talk about as far as corruption and the politics of the regional things. You get a lot of that obviously coming out of Sacred Games. Yeah. But I would tell anybody who's watching it, I jokingly said this to Andrani. I said, what you do is you, you go ahead, you just get your tent ready, get some food rations to last you for the amount of time it's got to take to, you know, stand, withstand the weather, watch both of these things as one fell. Take the five hours and watch it either. And I know that's you guys nine months to watch part two. We're very sorry you were right. We should have watched them back to back. Also, please don't recommend this right away to people just being introduced to Bollywood right now. No. That I, this requires two things because once again, we had been introduced a little bit to Bollywood but I still think we watched the first one way too soon, too soon. Way too soon. This requires two things that require somebody to have at least an entrance level understanding to, to India and Indian culture and cinema. Yeah. And then you also really need to have, you need to be a movie lover. I don't know that, I don't know that people who don't just love watching actors walk around. Yeah. They would have a stomach for this. Obviously if you don't like violence, you're not going to like it. Yeah. For sure. This isn't for the kids. This isn't for the little ones. Uh, Leland watched it with me. Did he? I mean he was asleep but no. I'm glad you're influencing them. Yeah. I'm going to watch next. And also what, on Yorakashyap, I believe it's, oh man, I believe it's this one. Yeah. It's going to be, it's going to be Black Friday. I believe it's Black Friday because, this also. That or Deb D. Yeah, Deb D. But this one has a KK Milo on it. Yeah. KK Woodson. KK Menon. And I believe it, Noaz is in it as well. Is it? I can't remember. And a couple of other people from, from all, and I'm excited for anything else that on Yorakashyap is going to be, is for me, of the directors we've seen, you know, right off the top of my head and there's a bunch of, if I leave them out, obviously, but Sanjay Leela Bansali, Vishal Bardwaj, Zoya Akshar, and Yorakashyap. Oh, very different, which is great. Oh, and, and for, the other one I'm excited about and I'm just, just awful that his name is escaping me right now. What's he from? Connie. Oh, Sujoyi. Yes. Sujoyi. Thank you. Right? Yes. But yes, please let us know what of his films, if it's Black Friday, please let us know because, we're on a, we're all over that, like blood all over and on Yorakashyap project. You were right.
