 And Adam does movies live. It's a Thursday. We usually don't go live on Thursdays, but I want to do something fun, do something a little different. And that's have on a buddy, someone I met online. I honestly don't know him really at all outside of some of the tweets he's put out. I've watched a couple of his videos and I thought to myself, this guy Cody, I like this guy Cody. So I'm gonna throw him in right now. There he is. Let's go into, I don't know how much of a video do you like more? Do you like the kind of the full screen? They both work. Maybe do that one and then when we're getting serious, you zoom in. Well, we'll cut in closer for some more engagement. Exactly, come here. Okay, listen. Cody, you got a big channel. You're got double my subscribers. I don't know how long you've been in the game for, but we'll jump into that. But just to kind of say hi to my audience in case some of them don't know who you are, why don't you just go ahead and introduce yourself? What is up guys? Yeah, so my name is Cody Leach. My channel's also called Cody Leach. So it's really easy to find me and remember me. I've been doing it since 2016, summer of 2016. So here at the end of August will be seven years. Seven years, I did the math for you. There you go. So yeah, I've been reviewing movies for quite a while. Carved out a nice little section of YouTube. I went full time just short of two years ago that little anniversary's coming up in September. Really? So I got to tell my boss to fuck off and then do this for a living. It was pretty awesome. And then I also have a gaming channel. I haven't done much with it the past month because there hasn't really been much to do in the gaming world, but I also dabble into that a little bit. And that's- How much to do in the gaming world? I find myself, like I have a PlayStation 5, I get the Switch, and I have all the bullshit, gold, accounts or whatever. And I find myself overwhelmed with games and whenever I have even a small amount of time, I fire up God of War or whatever and I'm just instantly like taken down about 30 pegs trying to do anything in the game because I feel like it's such a chore to play a video game now. Oh yeah, some of them are monstrous, especially that last God of War. I think I put like damn near 50 hours into it before. All of a sudden done and I was done with it. Oh my God, did you, what are you playing? Oh, it's a PlayStation. Did you platinum it or? I did. Okay, well, that's something- Nice reflex. That's something to be proud of. I don't like, a few years ago, they changed how the, you know, how the user score was done. It used to be, I was like a 27. That was easy to remember, but then they changed it to like, you're now a 1,420 and that's lame. Nobody likes that. What are you doing? I don't need to see how I measure up against the world. Just give me a nice number. Just give me something solid to look at and brag about. Cody, I want to have you on today because, well, first I just, I've noticed a huge shift over the years on YouTube when it comes to how people talk about movies, what gets pushed in the YouTube algorithm by the YouTube gods, or what is it called in Mission Impossible 7? What are the- The entity. The entity, they said that so many times. You could be drunk off your ass in like 10 minutes flat. The entity, where's the key? We should, let's quickly talk about that quick before we dive in. Cody, what's your ranking for the Mission Impossible movies? Or wait, hang on. You said you already did it and it's going on your channel tomorrow. Is that the thing? Correct, correct. Okay, so don't even tell them. Well, you guys go to subscribe to Cody and you can find out tomorrow because I like to push content creators that seem to be on the up and up. And that's really what this conversation is about. I've noticed in the last few years, like six or seven years, that it seems like YouTube's really hot on polarizing opinions on everything. So for normal people, I'd say like myself and probably like you to an extent, you are having a hard time breaking some of the molding when it comes to reviews because there's these crazy channels that are calling everything woke. And then there's the other side that seems to get early screeners to just praise everything. So it's just hard to kind of get out there. And with millions of hours of video uploaded every hour to YouTube, I mean, yeah, it's an uphill battle. I think they block out a lot of the noise. But I just, I guess I took some notes. I wanted to know a little bit more about you because I don't know much. What for you since your full time? I'm not, by the way, I've been on YouTube for like a decade or more. So you've gotten full time before I did. And I can attribute that to a few things, fault of my own, by the way. But for you, I'd like to know what's the day look like in a movie critic world? Well, I have a little calendar that I keep right here. It's a little dry erase calendar. And so at the beginning of every month, I'll kind of map out what new releases are coming out, what content I'm gonna put out in relation to that new release. And then I'll fill in some of the gaps with maybe some new ideas or some older movies or rankings. And so in the perfect day, perfect week, I'll typically wake up, I try to go to the gym and get that done first that way I don't have to worry about it. And then when I come home and then I'm clean and I'm ready for the day, I try to record no less than two videos. Cause usually I have my week mapped up enough where I can be like, okay, today I'll rank the mission of possible films and I'll also rank the stunts. That's another video that I'm gonna do. So I usually try to record at least two videos that way. I'm recording and editing one for today. And if something happens, cause I've got three kids and a wife and then of course life just happens. Sometimes you're not gonna get any work done sometimes. There's a video waiting in the winks where all I have to do is edit it. And so that at least takes 30 minutes out of the process. But yeah, I'll do that throughout the day. I'll go on my phone and check comments and stuff like that. Luckily I've got to the point where I don't have to engage quite as much and pertaining to what we're gonna end up talking about. Sometimes that's just extremely draining if things go poorly. Yeah, you have a built-in audience that'll kind of speak on your behalf. They know you well enough at this point to be able to kind of bunch for you. Right, that's very nice. That's awesome. What you said you work out in the morning is this five days a week situation? What are you doing here for reps? They gotta know what we're working with. I typically try to do six days a week. I either take off Thursday or I take off Sunday. I try to do a three-day rotation twice a week and just depending on if I have a busy weekend or I'll try to take the day off during the middle of the week or vice versa. But yeah, I try to do chest and back one day, shoulders and arms and then legs and core and then I'll repeat all three of those. That's a fair workout regimen. That's kind of actually what I used to do. Now I guess I'm kind of the same exact way. You do chest and legs one day and then back and shoulders and then arms a different day? Yeah, pretty much. Right now I do chest and back and then I'll do shoulders and arms and then legs and core and then after a while, if you start to hit that plateau where things are feeling like you're getting too used to the workout then you start swapping them around and trying to do different things. I used to be really hardcore into the gym about the time that I had started my channel and then meeting my wife, instant family, she already had two kids before she met me and so I quite literally became one of those people that it's like you don't have time to work out anymore. And so I went probably a good four or five years without working out and then earlier this year I was just like, I gotta get back in. And so I've been since February I've been going straight through and it feels good to finally be back into it. So you go Han Solo, you go stag to the gym just a lone wolf. Yeah, yeah. I would like to bring my oldest son but unfortunately with them being out of school he's gotta help watch his younger sisters. So it's trying to screw him over a little bit. But yeah, just by myself, just me and my earbuds and you got some Lincoln Park going or some... I usually do music one day and then the other day, next day I'll probably listen to podcasts or YouTube videos or something like that change it up a little bit. Gotcha. Yeah, I got the whole family going. So I got my wife and my two kids with me and that's always fun too, because the Iron Temple used to be a way to kind of unwind and get away. But now I'm like yelling at my kid like, Han, stop screwing around, let's go. Come on, you're embarrassing me. So I got nowhere to hide anymore. I'm at home with the whole crew. Yeah. But yeah, so that's interesting. Your life as a movie critic isn't much different than mine and I have a full-time job off on top of that. So I feel like you have maybe a little bit more of a chilled experience than I do. It feels like it was that way. But I usually try to work on stuff so much that it just shocks me some days where I'm like, how the fuck do I not just have so much more free time? Like what the hell? I stopped going to work to do this. Yeah, exactly. For the longest time I had the full-time job and then this and I still felt like I had less free time some days. Yeah, I tell people that all the time. I mean, YouTube as a content creator, it's a full-time job. And you even see the guys on, I don't know if you're on TikTok or not, but I go on there sparsely. But when I do, you'll see a dude that's talking into his headset like this and he's got a green screen that's just poorly done behind him and some shitty text. And even that I look at and I go, that's awful. But that dude's still putting in a good chunk of time to make these crappy videos. Like he put out three videos today and he's got thousands of videos out here. That still requires a good amount of effort and time. So part of me is like, oh, that's just the lowest effort garbage ever. And then another part of me is like, you know, respect. I see what you're doing here. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I don't do too much on TikTok. I've tried here and there, but my brain is not for short form content. I try to rewire it that way sometimes and I just get annoyed at the video. I'm much more of a longer form person. So even though I understand that's where a lot of the industry's going, that's where a lot of people want to, they want the short form, they want the 60 seconds or less, but it just annoys me. Like even if I try to do a condensed version of my review, I'm like, fuck you, I'm not gonna get a 60 second version of that. Go watch the real one. And then they ultimately like call you on it anyway. It's like, you barely touched upon this and that. This is a 40 second video. Yeah, it's the video version of Twitter. Yeah, exactly. They take 150 characters and they know all your thoughts. So you don't do shorts even at all? The only thing that I do pretty consistently is like an out of theater reaction. I'll film before I go in. Yeah, before I go in, I'll give a quick little 20 second, like this is what I'm expecting. And then I'll do the same thing on the way out. Those are really easy. I need to start figuring out ways to do supplemental content in short form, but just, I don't know. I'm like, I'm like resisting it. I'm waiting for that trend to die, even though it's probably gonna leave me in. Yeah, I mean, I would, I didn't wanna jump on it either, and it's really good for growth. Now, I mean, obviously, you're growing a lot faster than I am, but I've noticed since putting out shorts, it's helped the subscriber numbers. So I would just, I would absolutely bite the bullet and just throw out a couple a week and you'll be surprised at how quickly you see those numbers jump up even more. Yeah. All right, let's get into a fun little section. I wanna know, when you go to a movie, well, first off, how many movies do you see a week, would you say on average? Since going full-time, I try to see every major new release. And I try to look every single week at what's coming out. And this year, especially, I've been trying to watch the movies that I normally would just kind of skip. Movies like Nefarious that we'll talk about, but like, yeah, so at least one a week, there's been some weeks this year where I've done three in one night. I did that as well recently, yeah. Yeah, it's exhausting. It's not great. Next week, it's not, it's not at all. Next week, we're gonna have Barbie and Oppenheimer. So sometimes you get those little double blockbuster weekends, but yeah, at least one a week. It's rare that I don't see one during a seven day stretch. Do you think Barbie and Oppenheimer are both gonna be solid films? I have no reason to doubt that Oppenheimer is not gonna be great. I really don't know what the hell Barbie's gonna be. I don't either, man. I think it was the second trailer, the final trailer. I didn't even crack a smile. And I don't know. The only one I saw was that weird 2001 of Space Odyssey parody one. Space Odyssey, yeah. And I was just like, what the hell? You're marketing to like 70 year olds with the property that seven year olds are going for. I know, it's kind of weird because I don't know, do seven year olds play with Barbies anymore? I don't even know how popular it is as a toy line. Neither of my two daughters have ever asked for a Barbie. And Nor has my one daughter. So I just, I mean, obviously that's anecdotal, but I just don't, I don't know. I mean, my son also doesn't have like, I guess he does have a couple Ninja Turtle action figures, but I don't feel like it was when we were kids where it seemed like, you know, half the room was full of Ninja Turtles. But Ninja Turtles spans so many different mediums whereas Barbie really feels like it's just the toy line. Yeah. We don't need to talk about Barbie though. I feel like we spend enough time on that just now. Okay, so I was gonna ask, I as well see all the major releases and then from time to time, if I get spammed by what I imagine we're bots now or whatever to go see some little indie flick that comes out, I will jump on it because it's like, oh, my audience or whoever this is seems to really be interested and then I'm disappointed all over again. But yeah, that's usually what I tried to do. And you said, do you have a family? I don't need to know ages or anything, but do you watch movies with them as well? Or I mean, have you got your kids into movies? I do and they're pretty hardcore into movies for the most part. And they're very different to where my son likes anime and stuff like that that I've never been into. But he likes a lot of the martial arts movies. My son's into anime too. I don't know what it is. Yeah, he didn't get it from me. I can't stand it. He's tried to get me into it. I'm just like, dude, I love you. I want I want I'm glad that you love it. But yeah, this is not for me. You watch Dragon Ball or anything? Yeah, I don't know what he watches. It's just as soon as I see anime, I'm just like my brain shuts off and I'm like, OK, going into another room. Yeah. But yeah, he likes more the action and comic book stuff. My my daughter tends to like my middle daughter tends to like some of the more dramatic stuff, believe it or not. And then my youngest daughter is all about horror, where two years ago whenever I was I was watching all the screen movies, gearing up for screen five to be released, she kind of poked her head in and got infatuated with Ghostface. And so then she started watching those. And then I pushed her into seeing if she likes Freddie and Chuckie and all them. So that's what she likes. And does she? She does. Oh, that's nice. Otherwise I might have to get a DNA test. Some of that stuff you just don't know because it's, you know, it has aged for sure, especially Nightmare and Elm Street, the first one. But yeah, I know you're a bigger you're on the horror side more than I am even. But I will say the thing is is probably peak for me. That's about as good as in the horror. That's my favorite as well. And I mean, it's kind of a cliche, I guess at this point. Most people know that that's one of the greats. But yeah, my daughter is also really into horror films. And I know she gets that from her mom, which is funny because whenever my wife, Lindsay wants to watch a horror movie, she's either half watching it or fully closed with the eyes. And I just get frustrated. I'm like, what are you doing? You show your eyes every time the good stuff happens. What do you like about this? I don't know. But Olivia, my daughter, she she'll watch everything. She she loves it. Mm hmm. Yeah, they like movies. And I usually, especially during the summer, I try to gear some of my my movie trips around them. So like we had Elemental and Spider-Verse and stuff like that where it's easy to take them all. I took my son to the two different screenings I had to go to last month for Indiana Jones and Flash. And I've already got tickets bought for both my daughters for to go with me to Barbie. So I try to include them where I can. But certain ones I'm just like, you're going to fall asleep. You took your son to the new Indiana Jones. The new Indiana Jones and the Flash. OK, did he and I haven't I haven't I here's the truth. I don't watch almost any reviews from any other YouTube channels. I don't have time, but I appreciate and respect what's going on. So I don't know, did you like the Flash and Indiana Jones? I like the Flash quite a bit. I thought the CGI was just horrendous. I mean, it's not a new thought. But I was just like, wow, the babies, the babies were so bad. Yeah. And then Indiana Jones, I thought was fine. The way I titled my thumbnail was it's good enough. You know, yeah, I was kind of like, I think mine would be the it's bad enough is kind of what I thought. But I for me, Indiana Jones was always a young man's game. And so even the last one, Crystal Skull, I thought Harrison was a little too old for the role already. But I also it's kind of a damned if you do damned if you don't, because I think there's certain characters where the actor that plays them is basically the character. So I don't want to see like Chris Pratt as Indiana Jones. Yeah, I'd rather him do a completely different character in the same vein. Absolutely. Yeah. Whenever they announced they were doing a fifth one, I was from that moment I knew exactly what I was walking into. So I think me always having that expectation of the only going to be so exciting kind of primed me to like it more than some. But it was just OK. It's not a movie I'll ever rewatch. No, it's too long, which is another complaint I'm going to be talking about. I mean, I've been I've been bitching about runtime for a good two years now. But it seems like it's just getting worse and worse. It is, man. I brought it up again whenever I was reviewing Mission Impossible, which is one of the few movies recently, I think actually earns its runtime. But even so, with me, rewatchability is big. Yeah, that plays big into my rating and everything like that. And I'm like, this is not going to be a Mission Impossible movie. I'm going to watch very often because it's I don't often have three hours to kill when the other ones are an hour plus less. Yeah. And it's funny you say that about rewatchability, which is also a thing I think it's a generational thing more than anything else because we have so many movies coming out every week, TV shows, streaming is taken over, it's depressing almost. And it's just not the same for even my kids. My kids don't rewatch anything because there's always like 500 other things to watch. I mean, I know I've watched Austin Powers and, you know, some of these earlier Mission Impossible diehard I've probably seen 40 times. And I can quote a lot of these movies, not front to back, but a stupid amount like a bad amount. We only have so much room in our brains and I wasted so much of it on movie quotes. It's it's it's sad. Yeah, I remember the good old days where when I was a kid and if you didn't want to watch TV and if you didn't want to play a video game, then you were limited to whatever VHS tapes your dad had. Yeah. And so that was my availability growing up. That's why I watched Terminator 2 and Lost Boys and stuff like that. Just on loop and yeah, so good. You got a perfectly good puzzle over there, Adam, you could work on that. I'm trying to beat Mega Man 3 over here, mom. Thanks. Yeah, exactly. One of the four games I have in the Nintendo. OK, so as far as your I did watch, by the way, a couple of your your videos and they were very well done. I like how you you're one of the few critics that is like old school, Adam, where you actually put yourself in front of a green screen, you knock it out, you got a cool set. I used to do all that stuff back when I thought it mattered. And and and it used to be about quality more than quantity on YouTube. I had a show called Movie Feuds where I put two movies head to head. It was kind of like my my big thing. They'd get half a million views. Some of them got, you know, three, four million views. It was a great time. And then everything everything changed when the Fire Nation came or whatever. But yeah, I made a lot of mistakes and didn't just focus on one show. But with that show, it was, you know, fake background TV monitor. It was kind of like the soup or Tosh Pointo guests were on. And it took like seven or eight hours to do one episode. And it just wasn't a sustainable business model on YouTube. So it all kind of went away. And now I have your generic kind of like Lego. These posters back here, by the way, are from my son's room. I was like in a madcap dash to kind of redo my whole set six months ago. And I'm like, I got to have some movie posters. Connor, what do you got? And it was just like Jurassic Park three. It's it's actually Jurassic Park one. But it is with but with like the Jurassic Park three stink on it. OK, yeah. The red is what threw me off because usually three has the red. Well, you're you're right. It's it's I think it's maybe like an unofficial poster or something. I don't really know how this happened. It's it's it's chaotic. It's crazy. I'll never forget when the teaser trailer for that came out because it was on the it was on the DVD set of the two Jurassic Park movies. The first time they were released and my cousin hyped it up. He's like, you see the trailer for Jurassic Park three. It looks awesome. And then I rushed home to watch it. And it's just a roar in Jurassic Park three. And I was like, you motherfucker. But if that came out when YouTube was really big, you know, the trailer reactors would be like, oh, my God. Exactly. The thumbnail will be like here. Just be like ridiculous. Five million hype. Yeah, the hype is real. Five million views. Oh, my gosh, I hate. I hate the world. I really do. I hate everything. All right. So we talked about kind of how you watch movies with family. Why not? How do you approach film criticism? Again, I watched a couple of your reviews. I see that you have a pro section. You do a like mid section and then a cons. Is that kind of the format for all your stuff? Yeah, that's kind of how I started to organize my thoughts. I didn't do that for a while, but at some point, I just felt more structured that way because I don't take any notes. I like to just go off the cuff. That's right. Yeah. Yeah, I tried taking notes very early on, but I found that I just sounded too scripted. And so I just didn't like that. And so I typically just go watch a movie. I come home, I turn the camera on and I just talk. And that allowed me to kind of organize my thoughts a bit more because too often I would sit down to edit and be like, oh, shit, I forgot to mention that one thing. But yeah, my approach, I try to. I try to lean pretty heavily on just a guy who likes movies that's relatable with putting some professionalism in there. And I've gotten at least I think I've gotten better as I've gone along, you know, starting to understand terminology more and know where to actually professionally critique things aside from just like that was cool, that was dumb. And so I try to leave that balance. And, you know, I try to throw humor and things like that in there, too, to kind of keep the tone of my videos a little different. But I tend to find on YouTube, people tend to gravitate more towards people that are relatable versus people that are just like very educated, professional in the industry. And, you know, they're speaking on terms that don't necessarily connect with general audiences. Right. So I try to I try to find a balance in there somewhere. Yeah, that's I mean, that's pretty that's, again, another reason why I was interested in talking to you because I think we're kind of similar in that respect. I'm very much just I want to talk with people online. Like I talk with my buddies after we see the Matrix reloaded in theaters. You know, we walk out, wow, that movie was OK. But what the hell happened here? Or, you know, I love the I love the burly brawl fight scene with agents, all the agents mess and just really nerd out on stuff and have like a dialogue in a casual way. But like you said, have a little bit of pronunciation behind it. Have a little bit of, say, cinematography at least twice. Well, of course, the sound design, the CGI is overused now. You can't see CGI anymore. The visual communication, visual effects were were just spicy. Yeah, it's you live and learn, of course. And you try to kind of adapt to your audience and see what works and what doesn't. But yeah, I do like the I do like the way you approach movie reviews and when you watch a movie, are you sitting there just trying to enjoy the film or are you thinking in the back of your mind? Like, are you making checklists? Are you doing anything like that? I got to be honest. It's hard. It's hard to completely shut your brain off when you know you're going to be reviewing it. I try my best to and those that's where it's nice. Sometimes where I walk into movies that I know I'm not going to actually cover where I can just kind of decompress and watch it. But I try my best to just experience the movie and maybe just keep little notes in the back of my head here and there. But not not like looking at it with an analytical eye the entire time. It really only gets hard when a movie is just not working for me at all. And then I'm just sitting there compiling my list. I'm just watching it like, OK, I'm talking about that. That's just pissing me off talking about that. And when a movie is doing pretty good, it's easier for me to let that part go and just kind of escape in it. Yeah, there's there's been a few I'm same way, but there has been a few times where a scene or a line of dialogue has come up. And I so badly wish I had like a way to just like jump at one thing down. Like, I know I'm going to forget this. I even do that when I watch. So I have a I have a Patreon. I'm sure you do as well at Adam does movies. And one of my tears lets people sign up and they can actually request a movie for me to review. And I'm I'm charging not enough for that tier, by the way. I really kick myself for that one. Yeah, I've been there, especially based on some of the review choices I've been getting. Like, oh, so you see you too. OK, yeah, that's why I stopped doing it because it was just one out of every seven is like a great movie that they want to introduce me to. And the other six are like, this is dog shit. I just want to hear you rant on it. And I'm like, thanks. That was fun. I honestly almost wish for the hour and a half dog shit because the stuff I have gotten in the past is like something from 1932, that was an indie by a director who died shortly after. And nothing to do with your channel. Yeah, it's really just a flex so they can say they saw a movie that I didn't. I had somebody request. And I'm like, can you can you review the new Dragon Ball Z movie that's in theaters right now for the weekend? And I'm like, I've never seen an episode of Dragon Ball Z. I actually reviewed that because my son really wanted to see it. But yeah, I know what you're saying. Like, I was actually very happy I watched 30 or 40 episodes before going to that because you would know nothing going into that film. Exactly. I was like, how would I even review it? I wouldn't know who the hell anybody is or any of this. Yeah, well, I liked, you know, I like kind of some of the flying characters that changed colors, but I don't know what the fuck they were doing it for is basically the takeaway. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, my point about the the reviewing movies, getting movie requests is I don't know. I forgot, Cody, I completely went off base. I lost I lost track of what I was watching movies and Kevin, your list. Oh, yeah, yeah. Thank you. Thank you for paying attention to what I was saying. Once you turn 40, it's all it's all over. It's all gone. Yeah, I was requested to watch Mallrats because I've never seen some of the Kevin Smith movies and I was one of them. And I enjoyed it. I thought it was all right, not as good as clerks, but still solid. But anyway, as I was watching, I'm like, oh, I forgot this takes place in Minnesota at the Eden Prairie Mall and I lived in Minnesota almost my entire life. And then I forgot to bring it up in the review that I did at home right after watching the video. So taking notes can definitely be an important thing. Yeah, that's the most annoying thing in the world for me is whenever I'm closing in on finishing editing a video and then sometimes while it's uploading to YouTube, I'll watch it just to make sure I didn't have any editing mistakes. And then I'll have a thought where the light bulb goes off. And I'm like, oh, I didn't mention that thing. And then I got it's so old cameras back out and so bad place it back in. Rerender. Do you do that? Do you actually do that? If it's important enough? Yes, sometimes I'll even just think of like a joke or a bit where I'm like, damn, that would be good. And I'll throw it back in there. It's not too much of an inconvenience, but it's always annoying when you're ready to be done and shut the laptop off of the night. And you're like, well, 30 more minutes. It hasn't happened in a while, but I've had two or three videos where I made a mistake so egregious to myself that I pulled the whole video and reuploaded it like, you know, half a day later. But that's leaving in mistakes. Oh, yeah, I've definitely done that. Yeah, yeah, I've done that before. I've had some bad ones. My M Night Shyamalan ranking when old came out was that two years ago? Yeah. There was a point in the review where I was like, number two or number three. I'm like, oh, number three is signs. And I'm going to number three is signs. And I'm like, oh, shit, you don't realize until you get like 17 comments with the time. Oh, yeah, all of them are going to harp on that one. It could be like an hour and a half video. But if you said one mistake, that's what they're all going to point out. It's brutal because you could have spent like, you know, 12 hours on that thing. And yeah, that's the takeaway. I forgot that I'm supposed to, like, say, hey, super chats are great. So Mr. Sargent, who is an unobtainia member on Patreon, Amda's Movies says, boom, I'm guessing as a fan of you, Cody Leach. So that's cool. Thank you, Mr. Sargent. At the end of this little stream we're doing here, super chats are, of course, welcome. So if you have a question for Cody or I, please throw a super chat in and we'll address it. And Cody, of course, gets none of the revenue from that. But as I said, he'll get some of the subscribers on his channel. That's that's the hope at least is to kind of prop other movie channels up. It's something that I used to do a lot when I had movie feuds. I would I would bring in people from all different, you know, subscriber numbers. And the last couple of years I've just been kind of like wandering by myself on YouTube and it's it's not a good place to be. It's nice to have some shared camaraderie, especially. And that's kind of the the meat I wanted to get into this topic. You see this beautiful segue I'm doing, Cody, it's really masterful. And that's there is a lot of channels working together, it seems like. But they all have these really awful goals, which and I'm sure you know, some of them, I don't want to slander them if you actually like them, I guess, but like geeks and gamers and the yellow fish and whatnot. They all are really just I hate Hollywood. I hate 99 percent of the movies that come out. I'm still pissed about the last Jedi. I still think Brie Larson is the worst person on planet Earth. And Kathleen Kennedy should go die. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what's going on. Do you know? Do you have any idea? And why is YouTube pushing them so hard? Because the audience shows up no matter how many videos in the past month they've they've bitched about the last Jedi with the thumbnail with Brie Larson and the glowing red eyes and stuff like that. They still show up because people people are angry. Sometimes they don't know what they're angry about. They just want to be angry with other people. And it it's cells. It's just the same message, the same fake ass outrage over and over and over again. And the pathetic part of it is like all these guys that are the leaders of these channels that are the faces of all these agendas and everything like that, like they believe what they're saying. Maybe 15 percent there may be that much invested in it. But they know that the frustrating part. They just keep recycling. I'm still mad. Aren't you guys still mad that everybody just keeps showing up like sheep? I mean, that's the frustrating part. And there's there's so many of them. I remember I don't know. I feel like it was two years ago, my feet out of nowhere. My recommendations were just all of these guys and all the thumbnails were just Brie Larson on fire, making some dumb face. Kathleen Kennedy burning alive. And I was just like, what what is this? And why do you think I like this? And I guess YouTube is probably like middle aged man, algorithm, complete. Angry, angry white dude, calculating. Yeah, last year it was the chick that lost her mind on G4 TV. And it was just it was getting those videos recommended to me for like three months. And I'm like, not fucking interested, not interested. God damn it. It's it's what's really frustrating is for a while. There was obviously there's some on both of our channels that like these guys. They love them, whatever. I don't even know what to say to them anymore. That's great, I guess, that you have a palette that includes me and Cody. But I would push back occasionally and lose like a big chunk of subs because I said a couple of things like, hey, I just want to be honest and give like impassioned reviews about movies. Not everything is 100 percent or zero. There is a lot I would say a massive amount of movies that come out are very mid. Oh, yeah, especially this year. Exactly. They're just kind of good and kind of bad. They bought you some time. The problem is the mid movies now are two and a half hours long. So they're going in my trash pile. They're not going in my positive. There were there used to be a lot of mediocre movies in the 90s and they start John Claude Van Damme, but they were an hour and a half. And that was fucking awesome. And so I watched them all and I had a decent time. And Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan, a lot of really fun, short, quick fighting movies. And I liked it. Not good movies, but also good at the same time. They're awesome for the fighting. Oh, yeah. But yeah, I just these these channels get propped so much. So then when I push back and like, guys, these aren't movie fans. They don't care about movies. Why are you getting so hoodwinked by their bullshit? And they would be like, screw you. Yes, they like movies. Yes, they like games, da, da, da, da. And so out of sheer curiosity, just last week, I checked in on some of them for the first time in a year or two. And now their videos are all entirely the woke agenda. And half of them aren't even on movies anymore. They're on, you know, like what so and so is doing in like the leftist party on Twitch and what's going on with with Biden and stuff. It's like, I told you, I told you and you didn't listen. And now you're there and now you're there and I'm sulking and I am still not getting near the views these jackasses are getting. Yeah, I had a guy maybe a week or two ago that was like spam tagging me and Sean Chandler trying to tell us about how foolish we are for not jumping on the train and and going against the woke agenda and stuff. Look at these views compared to your views. And I'm like, yeah, if I had to talk about that every day, I'd fucking kill myself. But probably know who it is, dude. I'm not going to say his name. Does it start with a T? I don't remember. OK, it left my brain as soon as I blocked him and moved on. OK, that's good. I have someone that's doing that currently and he brought up Sean Chandler as well, saying that they're friends. And there's like there's like 12 messages and audio recordings. And he probably has video where there's like pictures and, you know, ropes and stuff tying to paperclips. And I can't do it. I just can't do it with some of these people. So maybe that's a good transition to the mental disease that's going on. And it's probably a lot because of some of these channels I just mentioned and because of just the bizarre political world we're in where everything has to be black and white. There's no mid anymore. There's no media movies. They're either 100 percent or 0 percent. You brought up your your video earlier, nefarious. Is that what it's called? Nefarious. OK, I had never heard of that movie. You told me about it. Yeah, you told me about it. I watched your video. Perfectly reasonable review of the film. I had I took nothing out of it other than this movie sounds terrible. You showed some clips. It looks terrible. And you pointed out how it's basically all contained in a jail cell or whatever between two guys, and it just sounded like propaganda garbage. Yeah. And you said you had hundreds or thousands of comments. Thousands. That video is at like seventy five thousand views. And I get at least 10 to 20 comments a day still. When did it come out? April. OK, so yeah. So three months later, they're still they're still going at it. Well, it calmed down for a couple of weeks. And then the movie went on VOD and then it just kicked it kicked right back into high gear. I'm assuming my review must be out there on some like subreddit somewhere. Like Leftist Woke America or something like that. But and I'm sure they're reasonable comments, though. They're all just like, hey, Cody, you're wrong. This is a great movie because A, B, C and D. There's a few of those for every thousand of them that that suggests that I'm Satan incarnate and I'm in support of child grooming. I I must love everything that Disney likes. Clearly, clearly this guy had they slashed them in his top five last year was actually my bottom five. Well, they buried nefarious. Obviously, they buried nefarious. Yeah, exactly. So it was just all these things where I'm just like, I have plenty of other videos where it's been a left agenda. Right. And I've said the same exact things. Yeah. So it's not like you can say that I don't maybe line up with your movie taste, but you can't say I'm not fair. Yeah, there is. I mean, someone asked me that recently, too. They're like, well, this is just the, you know, the far right extremists coming at you. It's like, yeah, this feels different, though. I mean, I've had I've had I've been called racist and sexist, all that. I'm sure you have as well. You know, you say like, yeah, Black Panther, too, sucked. In my opinion, I thought it sucked. There was like maybe a sprinkling of like, hey, you're racist or whatever. Fine, whatever. People are insane. But I recently reviewed what was this movie called even? I already forgot the name of it because it was so incredibly mediocre. Smell of freedom. The source. Yeah. The source of mediocrity. The sound of the sound of man. Two hours and 15 minutes, a chore to watch. And obviously it's so funny because I did a YouTube short, as I suggested, you should do forty set, forty one seconds out of the theater. And I straight up am like, hey, just left out of freedom. I was told by a bunch of people to go see it. And I've learned since then that a lot of the people that told me to see it don't seem on the up and up those those comments all came in, like stacked right on top of each other. Oh, yeah. Whatever. But I didn't feel it, you know, it had a good it had its heart in the right place. It's on child trafficking, which is an awful thing, terrible thing. Go see it if you want. But for me, I wouldn't rush out and see it. It just had pacing issues. That's almost verbatim. My review is so unreasonable. And I'm called I'm called a pedo or pedo. However you say that I'm told that I'm part of the agenda. I'm part of the blah, blah, blah, blah. And like you, hundreds and hundreds of comments coming in as we speak. And it's it's just and like you, I have thick skin. So all of it, all of it depresses me, but not for me. It depresses me on what the hell's going on with people. Yeah, I don't understand how you get to the point where you are going online and you are attacking essentially a complete stranger who had the most reasonable takeaway possible. And you somehow jump on top of that and beg on all these extra spices that had nothing to do with my review. Like, you know, who said I'm leftist or Democrat or who said I I'm a bad father? Like, you don't know any of this. Oh, man, it's crazy. Like my first taste of that was back in 2018 when the first Halloween came out for the new trilogy. That was the first time I got a taste of how those kinds of comments could be. I gave the movie three and a half out of five, so obviously I hated it. And and when I tell you that I got the most insane gross treatment, like I had people telling me that I should have aborted my children and all kind of stuff. And I'm just like, Jesus Christ. And it's been it hasn't been quite that that level of dark with the nefarious thing. But it's been along the same lines where people just like, we don't align on this one piece of art that none of us had a hand in making. And so obviously you must be the worst scum of earth. And it's just like, how the fuck do you come to that conclusion? And why does it matter that much to you? I don't know. It's it's so bizarre. I remember when this whole experiment started with the Internet years and years back and people thought you're going to want you're going to want secrecy. You're not going to want to put yourself out there and use your real name because you're going to want to hide some of your dark stuff. People don't it turns out people don't give a shit. They'll like straight up put their name where they work, everything. And they'll just go full block stock and barrel on your ass. And they'll just be proud of it because. Oh, yeah. It's it's incredible. I wish that the and that's the thing that I think has changed the most in movie criticism in the last, I'd say three or four years. And it's it's been the rise of the the Hollywood's all pedophiles. And, you know, if you're going against this type of movie, then you hate this group of people. And it's like we're a movie review channel. I where did you come up with all this other stuff? Yeah, it's it's some weird form of YouTubers and bloggers and TikTokers and everything suddenly getting access to things that traditionally only professional critics and people that have degrees used to be able to get into. And so I think there's it's the weirdest manifestation of jealousy to where you get people where they're like, well, I don't have a fucking degree. I have the same qualifications as this guy. Why doesn't anybody care what I say? This is bullshit. And it just manifests in hating on the other person. It's like, oh, we disagree on this movie. So obviously you're a piece of shit. And I'm going to tell you behind a keyboard. Oh, you know, like Asian food. Why do you hate Asian people? I mean, that's kind of the equivalent of what I'm getting now. And apparently I'm not alone, which is even, I guess, more sad that it's not an isolated event. This is something we're kind of seeing across the board. And it's not the extreme people even get in it. It's just like the regular kind of boring people getting in the car. And that new trend of like, like rotten tomatoes, doesn't know shit. And I'm like, who's rotten tomatoes? It's not one guy. He's got a twirly mustache. Like, ah, they're on to me. Yeah, exactly. I will say, Rod Tomatoes, like your Rod Tomatoes certified, I assume. I am too, which I laugh at. It's like they've they've already approved everyone else at this point. So they're like, oh, yeah, he's been around for a while. Let's give him a throw him a bone. But I will put I find myself not reviewing every movie I see on rotten tomatoes. I don't know if you're the same way because I genuinely do care for some stupid reason if I give it a fresh or a rotten at the end or at the end of the day. So I'll look at something like Fast and the Furious 10. I think it's a pretty terrible movie. But I know it has a massive audience that this is exactly what they want. They want no stakes. They want a whole bunch of people. They want a plot that doesn't make sense and then a bunch of action. So in that sense, for them, the movie is exactly what they're paying for. And I guess it's fresh, but for me, it's like this doesn't match a lot of the stuff that I look for in a film. So I think it's a bad movie. And so I just won't even I won't even rate it on round tomatoes because it's a binary zero and one at the end of the day. And yeah, Fast and the Furious 10 falls for me into the six or seven camp. Yeah, I just wish more people knew how to actually use rotten tomatoes. So like they don't understand. Like I think so many people have this understanding of it. Like the percentage rating is like a grade on the test. Yeah, that's what they do. That's what they think. Yeah, this got a 95. And it's like, OK, well, if you dive into that, 95 percent of critics gave it a three out of five. So that means that most people agree it's a decent movie. Yeah, and that, Cody, that's exactly why, because I know how that works. And it's like, I know people are going to look at the overall score and say, well, Fast 10 is a 95 out of 100. It's it's right up there with Schindler's List as far as quality. And so I don't want to contribute to the I don't want to give my three star positive because people aren't going to see the star. They're going to see the overall percentage. But that's just something I need to weirdly get over, I guess. Yeah. Let's see, what else? I guess we can I can open it up for questions. I don't want to keep Cody too long. I didn't even give him a time frame on this this little live stream. But I just I just wanted to like say hi, get to know you a little bit. And hopefully we can do this once in a while. Oh, yeah, like I said, I brought I used to do movie feuds. I haven't done it in years. But with this whole, you know, new setup I have going on, I think a live movie feuds would be really fun if there's a movie you and I disagree on, which, you know, we can chat off. We can chat, you know, on Twitter or whatever at some point privately. And I can just throw some movies out at you that are fun to debate. And you can be like, well, hang on, Adam, you you don't like Avatar, the last airbender. It's it's a critically underappreciated cinematic achievement. And then we can definitely do a movie feud on it, which which would be a lot of fun. But yeah, so any questions for Cody or I throw out a super chat, I will answer them. And then while that's happening, Cody, why don't you tell me a couple of your favorite movies of all time? My favorite movie of all time I often say is diehard. Yes, one that I just I rewatch every single Christmas day. It brings Christmas movie. Absolutely Christmas movie. Yeah, absolutely. Welcome to the party, pal. You take away the Christmas elements of diehard and it loses 50 percent of its charm. Yeah, I mean, it's the weirdest argument in the world. It is so weird. Yeah, I think people have such a surface value look on what a Christmas movie is when they're so hard to like, no, it's not Bruce Willis even said it's not. I'm like, no, he said that as a joke saying it's a Bruce Willis fucking movie. Not what he was saying. Yeah, exactly. But but yeah, so diehard is way up there for me. Terminator 2 is probably a close second. And on some days, that might even be number one. A great movie. Yeah, very important to me throughout my childhood. You go into horror. You got things like John Carpenter's The Thing, The Lost Boys, Dream Warriors, Pet Cemetery is a big one for me, the original one. Get into comedies and I love Midnight Run. It's my favorite comedy of all time with Robert De Niro, Plains, Trains and Automobiles, I love Uncle Buck, man. So do I. That's the ultimate comfort movie. John Hughes had so many good movies in that time period. Absolutely. All white people, of course, you know, because racism, but not. Except for Long Duck Dong. I didn't see that. Is that is that a real movie? That is a character from 16 Candles. Oh, I was going to say, I don't remember. I don't remember that movie. OK, the character of 16 Candles. It's an unknown classic. Yeah, I haven't seen 16 Candles since I was like nine. Yeah, that's not one of my I'm a more of a Ferris Bueller side of things. But Matt Sclerow, who I actually became good friends with on YouTube. And I found out he lived in South Carolina. So he's been going to some movies with me. He actually saw the Freedom one recently. He was very excited about that movie. Yeah, he walked away in tears. He said, Adam, this this movie is changing everyone. People didn't know trafficking was a thing before. And now they know. And now it's Hollywood lost. It was basically what he said. He says, Hi, Cody, I haven't seen your channel yet. Oh, I can highlight this. I think that's one of the things I can do. What are some of your favorite movies, top five list or whatever? Matt, you wasted ten dollars on that. I can let's see. I can pull up. This is the only thing I use letterboxed for. So I did a video back to the future. That's why I didn't hang on, Cody. This is really embarrassing, but I have a laptop that I move around and I didn't plug it in. So we are on borrowed time. You talk. I'm going to go get my charge cable to make sure this doesn't die. All right, go ahead. Go ahead. So back to the future is in my top five. I didn't mention that one that to me. If there's ever been a perfect movie, that is the one. Goodfellas is huge. One of my favorites, True Romance, the Tony Scott movie written by Quentin Tarantino, the massive fan of that one. Warrior, the movie with Tom Hardy and blanking on the other guy's name, unfortunately, God. Can't think of it. You're on the spot. Sometimes you forget things that you know. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, another massive, massive favorite of mine, and since we were talking about Christmas movies and this is one that not a whole lot of people know. One that's really high up in my list of favorites is a movie called The Ref with Dennis Leary. So if you love Christmas movies that are a little harder edged, a little more adult, that one's one to check out. So those are some other of my favorites to kind of color out that top 15 or so. Cody, that was intense. I was in like a madcap dash running around the house. I'm like pulling shit out of my bag, trying to find it. Where's the charger? Yeah, plugged into the wall right next to me. But we got that. I had one worse. I was doing a live stream with somebody and the somehow I'm using a MacBook and like the MacBook little power box that I have, I went to go plug it in and it snapped. And I was like, oh, no. Well, you got me for another five and a half minutes. So let's just go in. You said back to the future, right? I love back to the future. Yeah, yeah, I love back to the future. Trilogy, trilogy as a whole. I have the first one in my top 100, but I love the trilogy. That's one of those. My favorite trilogies ever. It's a great. It's a great franchise. I'm glad they haven't ruined it yet. Yeah, we're just waiting. They're just waiting for Zach. Just wait or they're just waiting for Zemeckis to die. Yeah, we got him. We got him. OK, Bobby once with the dollar ninety nine Super Chat says, what a crossover. Much love to both of you all. Thank you, Bobby. I appreciate that. Matt's back. Pissed off. Thanks, Adam, never mind. Matt's not happy about it unless that was a genuine thanks. But I'm guessing he was like, Adam. OK, a master sergeant with $10 Super Chat winning Adam and Cody. Any curiosity or excitement for Rebel Moon? Snyder, Adam hates that. I don't know. What are your thoughts on Snyder? I like a lot of Snyder's movies, but his fan base is ruining it for me to wear. It's just like, OK, like, just just stop, just fucking stop. Like, yes, he got screwed over. Yes, his movie was better than the one that they made a little. Yeah, it's just stop. OK, so you're so you're getting this to on Twitter. Are you talking about? Oh, yeah, any time anything. Deezy's going on, just like, give it back to Snyder. And I'm like, move the fuck on. I never know if it's just my like curated feed or the trendiness for everyone. Snyder and like Fire James Gunn and whatever is trending every single week, multiple times. And it's always the most cringe inducing shit ever. Like, some guy will be like, I never I never realized this before. And it'll show like a side by side of the Snyder cut and the and the Weedon cut. And it'll be some color grading difference. Like, he just discovered the fucking arc of the covenant. And I'm sitting like, this is this is something to bring up as a gotcha. And there'll be like five million likes and a bunch of comments. Like, we got him. Yeah, like, it's just the weirdest thing. Like, you can be a fan of Snyder. You can acknowledge that the guy got fucked over. You can acknowledge that they ruined his vision and they hacked his Batman v Superman up in the theaters and set up failure and they destroyed. You can agree with all of that and still put it to bed, have closure that you got to see his his vision finished and have optimism for the future. Like, well, you give him an inch, they they take a mile or 20 or 20 miles. That's the old adage. Yeah. I have a 300 in probably my top 50 of all time. Yeah, I love his dawn of the dead. That's out of the dead is brilliant, which is funny because, you know, who wrote that James Gunn, James Gunn, they're actually bastard. If he only knew if he only knew then what he knew now, that gun with stab him in the back. Yeah, but Snyder changed all his ideas. So whatever the argument is going to be, that's the blue Snyder is the blueprint. Yeah. OK, so to answer your question, Master Sergeant, any excitement for Rebel Moon? No, because I saw the last movie he put out on Netflix and it was atrociously bad army of the dead army of the dead. What did you think army of the dead? I liked it. I didn't like it anywhere near as much as dawn of the dead. It felt bloated to me. And that's my worry for Rebel Moon to wear like the like the robot zombie that they threw in and the there were some cool elements to it. I had some fun with it. I didn't love it, but but the main thing I took away from is like, oh, well, since Warner Brothers fucked him over so bad, now he's going to get like final cut on everything that he does. And so I'm worried that Rebel Moon is going to be like an hour longer than it needs to be. It's absolutely going to be two and a half hours long. I don't think there's any question about that. The the Snyder Cut, it's funny because the Snyder Cut is better than the Weeding Cut, I agree, in some senses. I'm glad the Weeding Cut is like an easy, breezy cover girl, two hours long. As opposed to the Snyder Cut, that's like 17 hours long and has no color in it. And for some reason, after the movie's over, there's there's these epilogues that are just the worst things ever. The Joker is talking about a reach around and it's it's just so bad. But there is there is some really good stuff for that movie. So it's like one step forward, two steps back sort of thing with it. Yeah, the best version of that movie is like a three hour compromise where you and obviously that that's what the Snyder Cut was supposed to be. It was supposed to be what the perfect version of his movie is with all the extra shit. And it's just like here, this is everything that I was going to do. Just splurged on a canvas. Yeah, so I wish there was a three hour cut out there that would like make the best version of that movie. And to me, that would be my my preferred cut. Who does that? There's a there's an actor that did that a couple times. He did like a Star Wars cut of the prequels and you did the Hobbit cut. I think it was Toe for Grace, I want to say. Oh, really? Yeah, Toe Venom. Yeah, of course. What is his most popular character, Venom? Eddie Brock himself. He years ago, he was like doing these like edits, these fan edits, and he was releasing them. And I haven't watched it, but I guess the Hobbit cuts really good. It's basically all three movies condensed into a three, three and a half hour film. Oh, man, I wish I would have had that when I had to watch it last year. Man, these movies, I made the mistake of letting everybody convince me because I had never seen the Lord of the Rings movies before. I'm not a big fantasy guy. I'm I'm a they're like, it's my favorite trilogy, Lord of the Rings. Gotcha. Well, I had everybody, unfortunately, convinced me that for my first viewing experience, I should watch the extended cuts. There's no other cuts to watch. And my God, they're, yeah, they're over four hours, aren't they? Yeah, I mean, I mean, every movie is split across two Blu-ray discs. Yeah, Cody, Cody, I mean, it's the only way to watch it as the director's cut. If you're a fan, I was watching them with my wife, my poor soul of a wife. And it was hilarious because so we watch, you know, they put disc one, a fellowship of the ring. And then I go disc two, a fellowship of the ring. And then I put in disc one of two towers and she go, oh, good. This is the third movie. This is it, right? And I was like, no, no, it's not. You better bring out another. We're going to need more popcorn. This was just round one still. You up the door, Dash. Oh, my God, I honestly, on a rainy Sunday, there's nothing better than me than firing up the Lord of the Rings trilogy on Blu-ray, extended editions. But I understand if you're not in a fantasy, that's not your thing. What was I going to say on that? Rebel Moon. Yeah, I don't. What is Rebel Moon even about? Do you know? I don't know the plot of it, but I've seen pictures. The cast looks cool. It looks like some kind of a riff on like Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars type stuff. It's probably going to be darker, but it's like a space. Action sci-fi thing. I mean, I'll give it a chance again. Oh, I will too. I feel like Snyder got a little too Tim Burton ish for himself where he kind of crawled up his own ass and came out worse for it. Tim Burton had amazing movies, you know, in the 90s and they kind of peaked, I think, at Big Fish and then it just went full blown CG. And Snyder, I feel like had that too with Dawn of the Dead and 300 and even Man of Steel. And then BBS is kind of where I felt like he was losing the plot and just going to Snyder. And it's just kind of been that way for me ever since. He's not the same director for me, but we'll see. We'll see. We got what do we got here? Mickey C with a two dollar super chat ready for Oppenheimer. So oh, wait, ready for Oppenheimer. So white conversation. Yeah, God. Yeah. He's saying that it's going to be the left's going to be crying about not enough diversity in Oppenheimer. Were any of these real life people that they're portraying black or Asian or anything and they're portrayed by a white actor because otherwise miss me with all that shit. Yeah, I don't know. I think there's I don't think about that. I think, Cody, I think you're like me where I don't ever think about that shit. No, whatever is announced. The first thing that comes to my head is usually, oh, great, another fucking remake refreshing or another sequel or we don't need this. Or on occasion, it's awesome. I'm excited for this movie. It's never who are they going to race swap? And who are they going to gender swap and what's the agenda? I just that stuff is so boring to me. Oh, me too. It's so boring. And it kills me when I'm in the movie and I'll hear one line of dialogue and I'm like, oh, you know, that that's five hundred comments about that one remark, because it's the same thing we were talking about. You make one mistake in your movie, edit or your review. And that's all the comments are going to harp on. And now I'm at the point where I'm like, if that's said in like Batman or whatever, it's OK. Well, I already know what the the outrage channels are going to be crying about for that was going to be by example, the rest of the Batman. It's like, these white privileged assholes. And I'm like, oh, fuck, oh, here we go. Yep. But yeah, I don't know. It's just it's my favorite one that I've been getting a lot over the past year is Cody, why didn't you mention the fact that all the villainous characters are white? And I'm like, oh, Jesus, because I didn't care or think that that mattered or there was anything anything being said beyond just bad guys in a movie. The the same for the same reason we never mentioned when all the bad guys are Russian or, you know, Muslim or, you know, whatever it is. The funny part about the white bad guy thing is usually the hero's white, too. Yeah. So it kind of like cancels out, doesn't it? Yeah. I don't know. I just, you know, the worst the worst blowback I ever got. And I blame myself for the approach because I'm kind of a smart ass. If you haven't noticed was I put out a video, I think last year lost a lot of support from that one. I said, no, Hollywood doesn't hate white men. And I I brought facts. I listed every single month of movies coming out blockbusters. And they were almost all primarily white dudes or at least white women. But I mean, it was seriously like 85 percent white, white dude, white dude, white dude, white dude. And yet the conversation for that last year was Hollywood hates white men. They're erasing them. The woman's taking over the property, which often is never the case. But it's that's what's played up online. And yeah, it's so like Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones, which didn't happen at all. That killed me whenever I had people because I saw it in a press screen two weeks before it came out. And so I put my review out and I kept getting comments and I had two different people find my professional email and send it to there like my work email address. And they were like, these are the leaks that have been talked about online. Can you please confirm or deny them? And it's literally just bullet points like woman punches, Indiana Jones and this and that. And I'm like, I'm racking my brain. I'm like, first of all, I'm like, why I don't understand people that want to go and just have all the details of a movie before you see it? Like to me, that just defeats the point. I don't understand what your existence is. So beyond that, it blew my mind and I just laughed and like clearly some like anti-woke channel leaked a bunch of shit. And then just cherry picked a few details and framed them in a way where it's woke where I'm just like, OK, technically, yes, that happens. But it's not in the way that you're trying to portray it. They're essentially tabloid gossip at this point. And people always like the tabloid gossip stuff. So I guess that they'll always have a place in our hearts. The yeah, I could I could spend hours on this. It's not even worth going into because I can already hear the people unsubbing from the channel just because I brought it up. OK, Frank G. 199 Super Chat says, rate your excitement for Aquaman two from one to 10. Is there anything less than one that you can give? I really enjoyed the first Aquaman. I enjoyed it more than most people. Yeah, you did because I didn't really enjoy that movie. I didn't hate it, though. I thought it was just again, we're in the five or six range. Yeah, I liked it a lot. I had a really good time with it. But I they haven't shown anything about it. Like it's coming out in December. I still haven't seen a single frame of it. And then you have the whole thing now where it's just like. The DC Universe comes out this December. Yeah. It's like five months. That's what I'm saying. Usually you see a trailer or something like at least a year out. And that's, you know, too far away. Well, I haven't seen anything. I've heard nothing but terrible things about the test screens because I'm a few people removed from some guys that got to see it like a year or two ago. And then they got to see it again now in its new form under like the movies unrecognizable. They've tinkered with it so much. OK. And with the DC Universe ending, I just kind of don't care. You know, like the flash was was fun enough for me, but it's hard for me to get invested when I know this is kind of meaningless. And we're going to discard all this stuff in a year. Did you think the flash was going to bomb so badly? No. No, I was I was really surprised. I was kind of in the middle because I never bought into. I had so many people that were just convinced that Michael Keaton was going to bring hundreds of millions. And I was like, no, dude, like Michael Keaton is cool. But yeah, I kept getting a lot of people tell me that because I was very I wasn't expecting to like the flash very much. I was just kind of over it and everybody's like, no, man, Michael Keaton is going to bring he's going to bring all these people. He's going to bring hundreds of millions. And I'm like, no. And then but I didn't expect the movie to bomb because I saw it was good. I was like, oh, it might do pretty well. Nope. Yeah, I was honestly shocked. I was thinking seven, eight hundred million easily. And I don't even think it's made three hundred million. It's just these. I think they said an article that said it lost two hundred million for Warner Brothers, which almost seems generous based on the numbers they saw, but who knows that that's just wild. I think after that whole Ezra Miller thing happened and after they after they got the acquisition and they completely changed directions, I honestly think in hindsight, it's 2020. I think they should have just shelved everything for as much shit as they get for the Batgirl thing. Yeah, it is shelved everything. But like, no, we're going to we're going to take a break. We're going to give you guys like three years with no DC shit to cleanse your palates and then we'll see in 2025 with Superman. Yeah, or or sell the movies to like Netflix as exclusives or something and just walk away from them, let them rebrand rebrand them as Netflix exclusive things like you got Blue Beetle coming out that actually like it's a lot of fun. But I think that looks terrible. Oh, really? I think that looks so bad. I can't even it looks like a straight to streaming movie from originally streaming. Well, before streaming was even a thing. I feel like it's a movie that was around that awkward time of the Daredevil original with Ben Affleck and like Ghost Rider and Jonah Hex. That's where that looks like it fits in. And then they they overcolored it with Shang Chi kind of a look. Losing purples everywhere. Yeah, it looks really rough and I don't know. We'll see. But I'm not predicting that's going to be a good movie. Yeah, it looks fun enough to me. But I have there's no way in hell that thing is not going to be a major bomb. And even though Aquaman shockingly, the first one is is the highest grossing DC film of all time, even over the Nolan movies. I don't think the second one is going to make very much money. I mean, I'm horrible at predictions. I've been wrong, I think, on every single movie prediction I've made in the last few months. I said Avatar 2, which, again, why would I go against Cameron? He's he always performs every time. But something about the, you know, the way covid was going and the economy. And I was just like, I don't know. Maybe people aren't seeing movies like they are. It's not going to do that well. Yeah, it did incredibly well. I have my reservations on that one, too, because as as massive as the first Avatar was. And even even after the second one, I still don't feel like Avatar is really a big pop culture thing. Did you like Avatar, too? I liked it. I didn't love it anywhere near as a lot of people. I thought that the I thought that the main goal of the movie, which is to like visually mesmerize you, I thought that that worked. But I thought it also exhausted me after about the first hour and a half. I was just like, OK, we're still fucking swimming. Jesus, I thought the villain sucked. Yeah, I couldn't stand the human kid spider. And it didn't really feel like it advanced the characters all that much. It was just like now they have kids. OK. I feel like they kind of devolved some of the characters. Sully, Jake Sully or the hell his name is even I remember he like just they just straight up abandon their tribe from the first movie that they spent the entire time like getting to know and protect. And I don't know what world that we live in where Jake Sully and his family leave the tribe and the general and the soldiers is just like, well, we got intel that they moved on. Let's leave these people alone, even though we've been fighting them the entire time. Yeah, so bizarre. Yeah, I thought it was really lame, even though I love Steven Lange. I thought it was lame that he came back as the villain and he's going to be the villain for the whole whole five movies, apparently. I mean, I'm honestly, I I did not like Avatar 2 at all. And the first one I do like. But now this much like the last Jedi for me really it really Sully's experience. Yeah, exactly. So yeah, Aquaman 2 and either of us are excited for that. Thank you for the super chat, Frank. Matt's back shot out of a cannon with 499 says, hey, Cody, true romance and back to the future are two of my favorites as well. Do you agree that the movie Signs is completely overrated? Here we go. Here we go. Tread lightly. Cody, I don't agree at all. I love signs. Yeah, we got him. We got him. I like signs, too, dude. I think it's just a fun, like kind of a B movie slasher. Yeah, I don't explain the fact that the aliens landed on a planet primarily of water because they didn't have a choice. Exactly right. That's what I say in my head cannon. The nice thing is M Night leaves it completely open since from the perspective of this family on the farm that you can come up with whatever reason you want. It doesn't really matter. Like the aliens were on the run. They had to land or their ship was out of fuel. They had to land. It doesn't matter. Well, when you listen to what his son says, where it's, you know, one of two outcomes, they either come to explore the universe like Star Trek, where they're like, hey, let's shake hands and sing Kumbaya or their planets flocked and they're trying to take over Earth. And so they get to Earth. They have no choice. They got no choice. Even though they're they're, you know, weakened by water, they try to stay away from the water, take over the earth. Humans figure it out pretty quick and chew them away. That's never been a plot hole to me. I've never really gotten. I mean, you could you could dive deeper and say, well, there's been crop circles there forever. So they've clearly been there before and they've investigated and whatnot. I just don't really care either because that's not the point of the movie. The point of the movie is about, you know, finding redemption, finding your faith. And again, I don't I'm not like a religious spiritual person at all. Really, I probably it resonates pretty well in that. Yeah, but but the message is just solid. You know, I like I like characters that have struggles they have to overcome and that's fascinating to me. But yeah, Matt, so I'm sorry, dude. Matt, well, I guess we were talking about hashtag one of the first times I met Matt, he had like a laundry list of things to go over with me when we met in person. He's like, I'm not psycho. First of all, I'm like, I didn't think you were. But now I'm starting to question it. He's like, secondly, this is like something a psycho would say. How dare you, sir? Here's my science analysis. Like, oh, shit, we're going to get into this now. It just gives me a hard time. And it's all good. Fun fact. Science was the first movie I ever saw three times in theaters. And I've never seen a movie more than three times in theaters. I'm not one of those guys that can go nine or ten times. I think three is my record, too. I saw Independence Day or I.D. Four for the purists three times. I saw the fifth element three times. Jurassic Park definitely saw three times and the matrix three times. The matrix, man. I mean, come on. Yeah, what are your thoughts on the matrix trilogy, Cody? There was more than one. Oh, OK. All right. All right. You know, I've softened on them. I've softened on them a lot. The new one, though, we don't talk about that pile of shit. Yeah, I don't like any of the sequels of those, too. I love the first one, too. There's certain movies that to me should have never had sequels. And that's one of them. That's very fair. That's very fair. Yeah. I just love the action of the second one. No, there's some good moments in all four of them. You know, there's moments that are cool, but just that they get way too bogged down in the lower and the weirdness. And they just. Yes. Oh, yeah. It's, you know, you know, it's like it's John Wick to me now where John Wick one had a very simple and basic. Exactly. And everybody can kind of resonate with it. My wife loves John Wick one. By the time we're at four, it's about the high table. And and there's all these different everybody's an assassin. I don't know if there's actually a real person on earth that doesn't know how to use a katana and a gun at the same time. Yeah. This baby's pulling out guns. I feel like it completely lost the point. Still fun, but very superficial by the fourth one. And again, do we need a three hour John Wick for? God damn it. That movie is so long. I was feeling the runtime until they started doing the Warriors call back and that pertain back up. And I was like, all right, you got me for the last hour and 20 minutes. But then they're like falling down the stairs, like three stooges over and over again. Yeah. And True Romance is a great movie. Oh, yeah. You know, I said True Romance for the first time not even 10 years ago. Oh, wow. Yeah. This is Christian Slater, right? Yeah. Yeah. And I think it was was it produced by or written by Tarantino? Tarantino, yeah. Yeah, he wrote this is when he was first starting out. So I think he was just kind of trying to make money, have a career. And so he had reservoir dogs and he sold the script for that one. And that's actually my favorite Quentin Tarantino movie, if we're going to include the movies that he wrote and didn't direct. OK, yeah. That's a good flick. OK, what do we got here? Super chat from Sean Gregerson. One ninety nine Rebel Moon was a Star Wars film Snyder wrote. Yeah, that that pretty much what I was kind of getting the impressions of. OK, that's got a very Star Wars flavor to it. Maybe it'll be better than the Star Wars stuff that we've been getting. Can't get much worse. Yeah, I'm not one that it's like passionately hates some of the movies, but my God, like I loved The Force Awakens. Like to me, yeah, I did, too. Yeah, that that put me on cloud nine. And, you know, I used to think I was a Star Wars fan until I joined YouTube and realized that I'm casual at best. But but, yeah, after after the sequel trilogy and then after a couple of the Disney Plus stuff, dude, I don't even care about Star Wars anymore and anything they announce. I'm like, that's going to get fucking canceled. I don't care. I'll believe it when it's in theaters and I can walk in. Disney has done a remarkably impressive job of destroying all of their good brands. I mean, MCU is the same way I do not care at all. Well, what's the show that's on right now? It's Samuel L. Jackson. Haven't watched a second of it, nor have I nor have I. And I have no desire. And the Mandalorian last season was was atrociously bad. I found it embarrassing. So, yeah, the Star Wars, the MCU, it's all pretty much garbage, in my opinion. Now, yeah, I used to adore the MCU. I used to be one of those guys that, even if I didn't know shit about the character, I'm like, I'm day one. I love these movies. And yeah, somewhere somewhere after end game between end game, being kind of the end of the story for me and then Disney Plus just spamming all kinds of shit where I'm just like overwhelmed. I just stopped caring. I'm like, whatever. Yeah, I mean, obviously there's there's a couple of gems still coming out. The oh, yeah, Spider-Man, no way home. I'm not near as high on as a lot of people, but it was it was good. And then Guardians 3, I absolutely adored. So yeah, I had a good time with Shang-Chi. That was that was fine. Yeah, I think that was fine. That that's another one of those movies. That's kind of in the six, seven range. Again, I'm one of those rare people of 20 minutes. Yeah, I'm one of those rare people that didn't even think Quantamania was as bad as a lot of people were making it out to be. And you can just leave that the channel now. We're done here. We're done here. Cody's never coming back. Now, I call that Ant-Man and the Wasp, Quantum Shidia because I'm really, I'm really clever. Quantamania. Yeah, Ryan Walsh 499 Super Chat, nothing, just silence. He wants us to to take a moment and just reflect. Let's see if we have any more down here. I'm having a I'm having a scroll and I don't know how to use this any other way than to just scroll. There we go. Ethan B, $10 powerful super chat says, Thoughts on last days on Mars. What the fuck this? You know what this? You know what Ethan B is doing right now? He's flexing. He's flexing. He knows we have no. He knows we have no idea what this is. Two of these 13 movies starring Lee Schreiber or is that? He's sitting back with his Chardonnay and he's saying, I know more about film than you bozos do. I've never heard of it. I've never heard of it either. Let me those are my thoughts last days on Mars. Quickly bring up the synopsis. No, I've never heard of this either, although that little thumbnail I'm seeing of Schreiber looking up at the control panel that looks familiar. And that's it. That's all I have. So we have no thoughts. Sorry, you wasted $10, Ethan B. If you'd like to ask a question, I'll give you a free one for $10 more. Because I don't know. I don't know how to use this stuff. Well, we have a 499 from Sina Fanatic, kind of a fancy spelling. Is that a French spelling? 499. You've had a very guy sent. Oh, you've had very guy centric films so far. Do either of you like softer films or typically chick flicks? I mean, there's a few that I like. My most of my favorite movies are pretty dude centric or they're just kind of not chick flicks. But like, I love. Oh, shit, what's the name of that movie with Steve Carell? Crazy, stupid love. I love that movie. That's a great comedy. You know, a really like this ridiculously sappy chick flick that I actually enjoy and I can never understand why is a walk to remember. Is that a Mandy Moore vehicle? Yeah, exactly. For some reason, that one always kind of. Does she have cancer in that? Yeah. OK, that is actually a decent movie. Yeah. I'll give you a couple, Cody. Sea Dog, I think I've earned the right to call you that. There you go. Stepmom, really good movie. That's a Sandra Bullock film. I got cancer in that one, too. Of course, I'm a big fan of women getting cancer, is I guess what I'm saying. As long as the woman dies at the end of the movie, I love it. If I could get a Brie Larson, Kathleen Kennedy cancer pick, I'm in heaven. Hundred million dollars. Absolutely. No, I don't think a League of their Own is a chick flick, but I love a League of their Own. I think that's it. It's a strong female lead film. I say that much. I've I've seen a Devil Wears Prada three or four times. I'm a big fan of that one. Anything with Meryl Streep, though, I'm pretty solid with. So the Julia and Julia, Good Flick. Um, what else? I know there's a few others that I watch. I'm not a pretty woman guy. I know that a lot of people like pretty woman. Yeah, I know a lot of people like that one. That's not really my my style. Yeah. Fried green tomatoes, solid drama. Yeah, I've seen that one. That one's decent. I celebrate anything Sally fields in, not without my daughter. We want to go that route. But these are kind of more I wouldn't say these are like romantic films. These are kind of dramas and a lot of that times people are dying in there regardless. I make that joke to my wife and my sisters all the time. We're telling them, you got to watch this. I'm like, OK, which one dies? The boyfriend of the girlfriend. Yeah, yeah, I'll fucking end with you guys crying your eyes out because one of them died tragically. Yeah, the notebook would be a good example like being happy watching robots take over the earth and shit. That's right. That's right. Coyote ugly. That's one I just scrolled past that I like. That one's a good one. That's the Tyra Banks pour some sugar on me. Yeah, kind of rags to riches tale of a girl who Thelma and Louise, does that count? It should count. I mean, they both die at the end. Both women die. So yeah, it's the female body count in this one. Kill Bill, obviously, you know, it's a it's a it's a torn love affair. Uma Thurman. That's a good question. I should really do a. Are you on Letterbox to Corey Cody? I'm sorry, I'm fine. I'm on Letterbox, but I don't. I don't actually post anything on there. I just use it for like a visual drag and drop for big ranking videos. That's it. OK, well, you can follow him on there, too. He's very active, as he just stated. I I should do a little list on there of chick flicks that I like. That might that might cause some, you know, attention because they might be like, how dare you? That's not a chick flick. That doesn't count. OK, I'm going to throw two more out and then we'll move on. And these aren't, again, chick flicks per se, but I don't like musicals that much, but I really like grease. And I'm a huge fan of La La Land. I think that movie is brilliant. I am not a fan of musicals whatsoever. The only one that I adore is the original Willy Wonka. Emphasis on original Willy Wonka. Yes, thank you. What are your thoughts on the new one coming out? I'm cautiously optimistic. It looks like it's going to be fun. And I like the fact the trailer gave a couple of little winks that it's it's definitely seems like this is early Gene Wilder because there's a couple of very direct callbacks to the original. So that that makes me more excited. OK, I don't watch it. I have no desire to even watch the trailer. I'll see it, of course, because it'll be a big movie. But I'll probably go and blind because I just really don't care to even see anything on it. Gotcha. So what else we got? Mickey C. Thoughts on Actors Strike. I think it's the writer's strike or did that are the actors? Strikers are also on strike as. Oh, oh, my God. Yeah. Just the just the ones that have money, I assume. All of them. Yeah. All of them, all the actors in Hollywood are on strike. Yeah. I mean, I don't know all the details in the ins and outs of it, but if you just boil it down to working people want to be paid paid fairly, I'm all for it. And, you know, I'm somebody that my experience with my last job, especially, makes me very jaded against corporations and big wigs and bosses and shit. So when you see that there was an interview that dropped today of Bob Iger, a guy that's a new CEO of Disney, where he more or less, he more or less was saying that because of the COVID and the industry is still kind of recovering that, you know, this is a really bad time for them to go on strike and some of their expectations are unrealistic. And I read stuff like that. And I'm like, it's always interesting how the guys with their private yachts tell the people that just want to be able to afford a mortgage that they're being unrealistic. You know, times are tough for everyone. We're all having to make sacrifices. So, you know, Bob might not be able to take out the yacht more than 362 days a year, which is just a shame. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I mean, it's it's easy to kind of just decide with people that are getting less, you know, actors and writers are that that's the whole ball game. I don't really give a shit if a producer number three on a movie is getting, you know, a little bit of a pay cut. Yeah, they're battling AI pretty hard, too. There was a thing today where the the deal that they presented to the actors to try to smooth things over and prevent the strike was, well, we want to do this thing that we're going to suggest to where the people who are background actors, if you just come in for one day and let us scan your body, we'll pay you for that one day. And then we're allowed to use your likeness in the background of movies for ever and always without ever paying you again. And it's like, how the fuck is that a deal for us? That's creepy. Hollywood probably knows that in 15 years or so, there's going to be YouTube channels and other platforms that are going to generate a whole bunch of stuff. And it's probably going to be decent compared to a lot of the crap that's out in theaters. And it's going to take away from Hollywood and it's going to cost them very little. And that's a scary thing to think about because art should always be appreciated and should always be created by man, I think. Or at least that's what I think now. Who knows what will happen? The AI, the mission impossible machine will get to me. Yeah, the entity and sky that are coming for us. 50,000 times and I can't remember it. And speaking of marketing tactics, did you know? Fun fact, I have a marketing background because I'm a web designer and developer. I'll ask you what you did in the second. But one of the things I learned in school was, you know, the whole energizer keep going, going, going. Or it's going, it's going, it's going. When they pulled people when that trailer or that commercial and that brand was popular, half of them thought it was a copper top commercial. The other thought was energizer. So it didn't actually work for the branding of the company. They just keep going and going and going. Just want to stuff animal that bunny. Just a random aside for no reason at all. What did you used to do? If I if I can ask. Most recently, I was doing the wiring for aircraft production. I worked for Gulfstream. They built that. Yeah, so I was doing all the wiring whenever they actually joined the plane together and first start putting electrical systems through it. Previous to that, I did construction materials testing where I would go out to incoming job sites like house lots or whatever. And I would do the soil testing, compaction testing stuff before they ever break ground on it. I was a manager at Target for three or four years. I've done a little bit of everything. Target's a weird place to work, dude. Yeah. They you were probably there when they would at least when I worked at Target, I was a fun story. When I when we moved to New Wallam in Minnesota, they had a brand new Target Supercenter opening up and you could apply ahead of time to work at this new place. And I'll never forget coming home after my little application there. And on the fridge was a letter from Target and my mom and dad were both in the doorway arms around each other just saying, we're so proud of you, son. And they handed me the thing and it said, congratulations, based on your experience, you are a perfect match for cart attendant at Target. It's like the biggest insults by like you are perfect for the lowest common position we have here. That literally is the lowest position. And they were just so they're just beaming. They're like, we're so proud of you. Like completely sarcastic, of course. But that's awesome. Yeah. Target was weird. Every hour at our location, they would announce how much money the store has brought in. And then you had to clap and be like, yeah, I'm making six dollars and fifty cents. Yeah. People hated me for a while because they used to do this thing up at the front end to where every time you sold one of the Target credit cards or whatever, you're supposed to shout it out like a fucking sports announcer like, hey, John, I'll go or just sold a red card. Everybody clap. And whenever I was whenever I was watching the front, I would refuse to do that. And they would just I did that, too. Yeah. They're like, where's my shout out? And I'm like, electronics doesn't get shout outs. You get nothing. Yeah. I was always and whenever I could kind of like I was you know, I pride myself in being a very hard worker. But whenever I could kind of like stick it to the man a little bit, I would say like, Adam, you need to push the red card. Like, OK. And then I don't push the red card. That's my way to get back at the same thing. Yeah, they used to bitch at me for it. And I'm like, I'm too busy doing my other duties. Exactly. I'm too. You see all these carts out here, jackass. Who do you think? What do you think? You think any Joe Schmo can do this job? I'm the perfect match. There you go. OK, let's see what my contests to say. Are you wearing pants? This is, I guess, a two dollar for either of us. I'm not. I'm full Daffy ducking it right now. Yeah, this isn't even a full shirt. It cuts off under the nipple. Beautiful. I do the least. Yeah, that's that's perfect. I got shorts on their tan. So it actually kind of does look like I'm not wearing anything. Thanks, Mike. Mike was kind of trolling on the last live stream. So it's nice that he cleaned up his act a little bit. Oh, Brian Walsh. Just a beautiful 99 cent super chat. Very elegant and nothing there. Just he wanted to show some support. Got to love it. Yeah, you do. Jan Rose loves seeing Jan. Will you be doing a live stream tomorrow night? I will and much like Cody, or as I call him now, see see money for this one time only and never again. I will be doing a Mission Impossible ranking via letterbox. We could maybe compare them. Maybe I don't know, Cody, what time is your video coming up? It'll probably drop sometime around three, two or three. I'm going to be on the road going to Orlando tomorrow. So I'm going to get it done tonight and then just have it waiting. Maybe, you know, when I do my live, we'll jump over on Cody's channel and see what his video has to say. Obviously, I can't play it or anything or he'll copy strike me and destroy my channel. But we'll, you know, we'll take a look and compare and contrast and maybe ridicule his list and it'll be a good time. Yeah, I am in a live stream at 10 30 p.m. Eastern Eastern Standard. Brian Walsh with a 199 super chat. Is the zombie genre dead or could it have a future? So is undead. Oh, that's it. No, it's not dead. It's certainly slowing down a bit, though. I think the walking dead just overexposed that entire subgenre for a while there. Yeah, the walking dead, zombie land and something else all going on at once. And the spinoffs, there's like two spinoffs of walking dead. The last of us kind of falls into that. And so it's yeah, it's it's always going to be there. But yeah, there was a time when zombie stuff was coming out hotter than superhero stuff. Yeah, World War Z, zombie land, zombie land to to name a couple movies. Cody, what are your thoughts on the walking dead? I love lose you season three. Yes, I loved the first season. I'm one of the few people that loved the second season. And then season three, as soon as they had 16 episodes, they've never been able to fill 16 episodes of story. No. And so I lasted. I stuck it out until the episode where Negan was going to kill somebody and they didn't show you. And that was the most infuriated ever being so insulting as an audience member. That show sucks so hard after that. I mean, it was already getting kind of embarrassing before, but you kind of stayed with it because there was enough characters that you liked, but then they started kind of giving more unlikable characters, more screen time. And the whole episode about this person, you don't even know their fucking name. Did you finish it even? Or did you walk away? Well, it's a loaded answer. So I gave up right after they came back and showed who Negan killed. I was like, OK, fine, I'll give you one more shot. And I hated that season. It was the worst season of TV I've ever watched that I can think of. And so I jumped off of the show and never went back to it. And then right whenever the show was getting ready to end, I was like, all right, I kind of want to do a ranking video. I'm sure people are going to watch it. So I powered through and I binged through seasons eight, nine, ten and eleven. Oh, my God, there's eleven seasons. Yeah. And the show doesn't even really end. It's just like it technically ends so that they can do three spin-off shows with the characters of The Walking Dead. So Daryl's got his own show. Negan and Maggie got their own show. Michonne and Rick got their own show. And I was like, is in it again? He pops up just for them to tease the show with him and Michonne, that it's coming out sometime. So I walked away, I think it was like a winter season and they were called skin walkers. Is that sound right? Dressed up like the zombies whispers. Oh, yeah, the zombie whispers, horse whispers, whatever you want to call it. They it was so bad where I really thought the show was and we don't spend more time on this. But when Rick went to the garbage people and they all had like these janky haircuts and didn't know how to speak English anymore, it was broken English. I was I looked at my wife, I'm like, what the fuck? It's been two years. It's been two years or a year and a half in the show is running. Why are they suddenly like acting like they're playing on the earth? Yeah, exactly. Women here, we must fight. And they had this whole weird culture where there's a zombie in a cage match and it's like Rat the Con. Yeah, really bad. Yeah, the zombie genre is not I mean, it's not dead. It'll always have a future. I think I heard that we're going to do a World War Z two with with Brad Pitt. They've been talking about that for forever. It may have a load of money. It's kind of weird that we don't have four of them by now. We'll have one. And we also have unless they shelved it, but I think it's been unshelved now. The Will Smith, I am legend, too fast, too furious, whenever that's coming out. Yeah, that's weird because they're doing a sequel based off the alternate ending, which is the superior ending. But it's the superior. And don't give me, you know, did you know a fun fact? Well, I'm an idiot for starters. And I buy movies off Amazon Prime, which is so stupid because it's one of the worst services on the planet for video streaming. There's no way to like catalog your movies or anything. And they charged three or four dollars extra for the the director's cut of that fucking movie. For no reason, just because they know that people will pay for it. Yep. Yeah. Oh, yeah. If you're a horror guy, there's a couple of movies I wanted to talk. The one other thing briefly, I'm sure you love the descent, right? Yeah, that's pretty good. OK. You know, there's two versions of that ending, right? Yeah. OK. Well, if you buy it on Amazon Prime, they don't tell you which one you're getting. Spoiler. It's a bad one. Surprise. Yeah, I was so excited to show some friends that movie and it entirely hinges on the cool ending. And it was the American one I had never seen before. And I was so deflated, like it's happened in here, scrambled to my computer. I'm like, no, no, you didn't see that. This is it. And I bring up YouTube and some shitty version. And yeah, it was it was over. The damage was done. That's awesome. Yeah. Well, it wasn't. But I get what you're saying. OK. Collie Woolley, Coley Woolley, five dollars. I just bought the Blu-ray for the horror mockumentary Lake Mungo. Have you guys seen it? I'm pretty sure Cody has never heard of it. Not. I've heard of it. It's it's on the list. Do you have a list of movies that everybody recommends? It's like a fucking CVS receipt. Yes, I do, actually. Yeah, it sucks. Whenever that's the first casualty of doing this full time, is that all of your your fun relaxing movie going time is just a movie fan is now taken away from you. And every time I sit down to watch something, you have to make the choice of watch something that adds to nothing or watch something for work. And I usually err on the side of being responsible. I fully agree with you. And that's where I'm at. I have my Patreon request list and there's currently a backlog of 14. And I got to tell you, a lot of these movies I'm going to be watching by myself because my family doesn't want to see them. And I have to somehow find a site that even hosts these movies because they're not in Peacock, they're not on any of the streaming services. Those are always the hardest ones. I should really put more disclaimers on my little perk. Must be a movie people have heard of, must have gone to the theaters for more than a day. You have to buy the movie and provide it to me. Yes, exactly. OK, did I answer that question? Oh, yeah, we don't know what that is. Sorry, I feel bad when I throw something out there I haven't heard of, but I haven't heard of it. Arkham City Rules 199. Arkham City does rule if we're talking about the video game. Hey, it's 20 Moro. You you follow Melanie Mac. I don't know what Melanie Mac is. No, I don't know. Tony, I swear, if this is some like outrage channel. Melanie Mac. Jesus Christ. Social commentary mostly sent around. It looks like a Twitch streamer. It looks like I just look that up on Twitter and she looks like a Twitch streamer. She has that look about her. The little cat ears. This this is definitely one of those anti-woke channels. Oh, OK. Yeah, it's an anti-woke channel. All right, that would be a no. That's a that's a hard no for me. OK, we got a 999 Super Chef from CTV Video Productions Thoughts on Drive 2011. Ryan Gosling. That's a baby goose film. Yes. Yeah, it's fucking awesome. Good. I'm going to wear this as a badge of dishonor, but I have not seen Drive. And I've been told by several people to watch Drive. And then I say, and then I say, Cody, I don't have time to watch Drive. I have to watch Thunderbirds are Go from 1966. And I have to watch The Wailing, which is Korean film. And I have to watch that's three hours long. I have to watch Awakening by Robin with Robin Williams. And a bunch of other fucking movies I've never heard of. So yeah, that's what I'm doing with my life. I do want to see Drive, though. That's a baby driver. Does that count? Close, yeah, stylistically a little different. But I think I ran through all the super chats. I hope if I if I missed one. Oh, I guess there's a you can actually star them and see the wow. Cody, why don't you tell me that I can do it this way? Oh, I assumed you were my man. You're supposed to be. You're supposed to know what I'm thinking and what I'm doing over here. And OK, I think I got all of them. I appreciate it, guys. If there's any more last second ones, there's always like one little straggler at the end. Yeah, right when you click and stream it pops in. We got Brian Walsh with the dollar ninety nine thoughts on Ridley Scott's legend. Is that out? Or is it Tom Cruise? I'm pretty sure that's from like the eighties. I've never seen it. I want to say that's one of Tom Cruise. And are we? Do we watch movies even? What I've never going to heard of this movie. Tom Hardy. Is that the movie? A legend. I'm pretty sure I'd say Ridley. I'd say Ridley. Tom Cruise and Tim Curry. Yeah, there's another legend with apparently Tom Hardy that I've also never heard of. Hmm. Oh, yeah, 1985. What is this movie? Short answer. No, never seen it. I've seen the Tim Curry devil plenty of times, though. I like I like Tom Cruise movies except for the mummy and I like Tim Curry. But no, I've never even heard of it. Ridley Scott, I watched. You know, I was a little sad. Did you ever hear of the super bizarre show on what was called HBO Max at the time? If you remember before the Max, before the Max days? Raised by Wolves. So fucking weird. It was a Ridley Scott directed. He probably directed like the first or one or two episodes kind of like David Fincher does. Such a bizarre sci-fi film, kind of like an Adam and Eve thing where these two robots go to this uninhabited planet and raise human kids and, you know, war breaks loose and it's it's just complete insanity. But it got canceled after two seasons and I was a little bummed because and I wouldn't even say it was good. I'd say it was just really, really, really weird and it kept me hooked because it was so weird. Interesting. Yeah. So there's your Ridley Scott thought and also he ruined aliens. He ruined his own property. Yeah, I'm not big on those movies either. Just all of them or you mean after Alien 1 and 2? Prometheus and Covenant. And Alien 3, not a fan of that one either. No, I'm not a fan of Alien 3. I'm one of the few people that enjoys resurrection pretty good, though. I like resurrection as it is. I like resurrection too. It's fun. It's fun. It's what I liked about the Alien movies and this is the one thing they're consistent at is they're all it's very inconsistent. So the first one's a straight up horror. Second one is a sci-fi action. The third one is garbage. And then the fourth one is like a what would you call it? Yeah, exactly. It's a B movie. It was I think that's written by James Gunn. I think it was Joss Whedon. There it is. You're right. Joss Whedon. Yeah. See, this is why Cody has double my subscribers because he knows great movies and I just bullshit. One of those J directors that people bitch about. Yeah, Joss Whedon. OK, Mike Hunt, $2 basketball diaries and the Edge 1997. Basketball diaries is a hard no for me, but I I really like the edge. You're talking about Anthony Hopkins and one of the Baldwin brothers, Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin. Yep. Good luck. They fight a bear. It's awesome. Yeah, I've never seen basketball diaries, but I know enough about it, but the edge is awesome. I love that one. Yeah, that's a that was just a good old fashioned 90s man versus man versus the elements. What do we got here? Chris, $2 Super Chat says I'm Awaking Awakens. I think it means awakenings, right? Is amazing. Did he pick that? No, he's not the one that actually gave me that request. So OK, we're going to get at least a couple eyes on that review. What are your other requests? I'm curious. Maybe I can ease your your your pain on some of them and tell you they're good. OK, so this one, this is funny because this guy, Shadow of Humor, he requested he requested The Lamb, which I absolutely destroyed recently. I thought that movie was complete garbage. And then he gave me another one that I thought I was going to hate. But I actually ended up liking, which was the TV series Euphoria. I watched the first season. Damn, you requested a whole season, you greeny bitch. He's at the highest unobtainium tier level. So he dropped a decent amount of money for me to watch that. And whatever is eight episodes, at least I threw him a bone. I didn't mind it. I thought it was actually OK. I have to put the review out still. But then I got Sisu, which I just watched today. That's that's a pretty good little watch. It's OK. Yeah, I feel like that was quick and easy. Yeah, it's hour and a half, which I liked. It did feel almost like he was written by A.I. Bruce is the elements dog. John Wick, you know, Nazis. Yeah, it was it was an easy watch. Then we got Awakenings. We got Final Space. No, Thunderbirds are go. No, no, I actually have three of them that I said to reach out on Patreon because I'm pretty sure the movies they requested were even more obscure than those. So I'm hoping to steer them away. I didn't even put their movies down. And then I got Polar Express, I guess, just because I asked that that get moved down to the Christmas time, at least, so that it might get more than 20 views. Van Helsing, which this person, unironically, I think likes. I do not remember liking that movie, but I will have a good time. Most people don't. But I actually have always gotten I've had fun with it. So that's that's an easy watch. That's an easy watch. Hugh Jackman's always a good time, regardless. We got Tomorrowland, which I do like and a very underrated Disney flick, actually, with George Clooney. And it was directed by Brad Bird. Yeah. The Howling just came in a couple of days ago. The Howling Seven, apparently, seven. Yeah, apparently, it's horrible, like one of the worst movies. Oh, have you seen it? That person's mean. No, I've only seen the first Howling. But funny enough, I do a video series with a group of friends called 31 on 31, where we pick pick a theme and we pick either a franchise or a group of franchises and that all their movies out of the 31. And we ranked them on the 31st, typically October, but we've done a few midway through the year. But we did one back in May on May 31st, that was vampires and werewolves. Oh, nice. And specifically because of the Howling, we introduced this new rule to where we let the we let the audience pick their favorites. And typically, we just pick the movies, do the whole franchise, good movies, bad movies altogether. But the Howling notoriously has so many horrible fucking sequels that I was like, I'm not going to watch through six Howling movies that are dreadful just to be able to include the first one. So we're doing new rules this time. That's awesome. I've heard of the 31 on 31. For some reason, I thought there was like Sean Chandler's show or something. But again, I I only know of YouTubers on actually like go to the channels and study it all. Unless you're anti woke, then I then I like celebrate your entire thing. Well, you know, if you ever need someone to come on there, I'd I'd be honored to do a 31 on 31. Cool. Maybe maybe on maybe on women that die in movies. That would that seems to be my bread and butter 31 cancer edition. Cancer edition. Yeah. Cancer cancer victims. And then the last one I got here is Chasing Amy, which I haven't seen another Kevin Smith vehicle. That's a good one. That's that's actually one of my favorites of his. It's pretty damn funny. I've heard it's really good. So I'm excited for that one. And I did like the reason that the Kevin Smith thing got brought up is because I was kind of like, I don't really like Kevin Smith movies. I'm not a fan. And then I was listening all his newer stuff from the last one year, 30 years. And people like, have you seen this and this and this? I said, well, those are like his originals. Like, yeah, those are the good ones. Yeah. And so someone's been making me watch him. And it's been a good time there. I can see why people really like Kevin Smith movies. Yeah. Do you know the plot of Chasing Amy? I know nothing about it other than it's part of the Askew universe. And basically it's it's Ben Affleck. Back before he was like, you know, A-list star Ben Affleck. And he falls in love with a girl and turns out she's a lesbian. It's pretty fucking funny. You got a shit. The guy from my name is Earl. I can't think of his name. OK, so yeah, he was also in Mallrats. Yeah, he's like his best friend and he just gives him shit the entire movie. And it's pretty damn funny. He's like really he's really rough. Like it's old school, like pre-PC humor, where he's just really anti lesbian. And so everything that he loves about this chick, his friend just trashes her. That's awesome. It's pretty damn funny, but it's got a good. I miss that kind of humor, dude. I do, too. I do, too. Jennifer Lawrence movie was pretty damn funny. Did you see that? It came close. It came close. There was there was moments where I'm like, God, that's what I miss. And then there was other moments where I'm like, yeah, that that's New Age. Oh, for sure. It definitely was kind of skirt in the line. But I still I haven't seen a comedy in so long in theaters. It was just nice to get something. I haven't seen a comedy in so long that I've laughed at. That's the sad part. That's the sad part. Yeah, I think I was talking to Matt about the SKU universe, too. And he was saying maybe it wasn't him. I forget every conversation I've ever had anymore. But he said that it's a universe. But the characters aren't playing the same characters in each movie, which seems completely bizarre to me. So Ben Affleck's character from All Rats is not the same guy in Chasing Amy. No, nor the same guy from Dogma. That's that's OK. How is that a universe, then? Yeah, nothing's really connected. It's because the same characters come back. Then I guess Sam Raimi's the whole thing is a universe and James Gunn because they are Christopher Nolan. They'll pull in the same actors. Yeah. Maybe it's Jane Silent Bob. That's the that's the glue there. They are. Yeah, that's the glue. All right. Whenever you need to duck out, let me know. These these seats keep coming in. So again, sub to Cody Leach's channel. He's apparently awesome and I'm just learning this, which is great. I'm glad that you weren't just a persona online and you're actually a decent dude. Sean Gregerson 199 says undead silence on YouTube with this zero budget and awesome. OK, so he's saying it's OK. I've never heard of it. You're right. You're going to add it to your list now. No, no. You can add it to my list for mythril membership and that price just doubled. OK, CTB video productions, $1.99, how much to watch Drive 2011? I may like it a little. It's the mythril membership. Cody, you're going to cringe at this. It's only $30. That's pretty, pretty sad. 30 bucks. If you stay with it, you can get up to four movie requests in the year. If you want to go every month requests, you go to unobtainium and it's it's a bit more money. Let's see. Arkham City's back with $1.99. Better franchise James Bond or Mission Impossible on three. Three, two, one, Mission Impossible. Yeah, it's not even close. I tried my hardest to watch all the older James Bond films for the first time because I'm one of those people that for the longest time I had never watched anything pre-Brosnan. Brosnan was my bond growing up. And of course, I love I've seen all the Danny Craig movies. And when the last one, no time the die was coming out, I was like, all right, time to watch them all so I can do a ranking. I made it to Thunderball and had to tap out. So and I everybody loves the Sean Connery movies. And so the fact that I wasn't enjoying myself and I knew I had like 10 Roger Moore movies down the pipe, I was like, nope, I can't do it. So I haven't seen most of them. I don't know how you, dudes, because I know Chandler, that's like his claim to fame is doing the the ranking things. And he comes out of them all the time. I'm just I see them show up. I'm like, there's no fucking way this guy's watching these movies. There is no way because if I had to do that, I would be miserable. That that's too much of a work thing to me and not having a good time. So it is nice to hear that you'll tap out if it's if it's becoming uninteresting to you and you won't just bullcrap it or push through. I can tell you the moment that I tapped out because I watched Doctor No and Doctor No was interesting just because it's so old that it's like, oh, this is where it all got started. That's weird. And then I started with from Russia with love, which from what I understand is a big favor. And that movie put me to sleep three times. And then I got through Goldfinger and Goldfinger was decent. Again, just very old, though. And then I got to Thunderball and it was the moment where he put on the jet pack and went. I was like, I'm done. Fuck it. I'll just rank the Craig movies. Yeah, that's that's the way to do it. And if you go off the Craig movies and even the Brosnan movies, I think Mission Impossible just they're just such. More consistently good. Oh, yeah. You know, you have Mission Impossible, too. It's the Black Sheep, but it's still a very watchable movie. It's it's hokey. It's it's John Woo. You know, you have the triple shots and the birds flying out. But you know what you're going to get. And Tom Cruise just sells it every time. Yeah. Although I don't think anybody looks at him and says, oh, Ethan Hunt is great. It's just Tom Cruise. Yeah. And that's fine. He's not playing a character. I usually do, honestly, like Tom Cruise is going through here and there. My wife asked me because I was watching one of him yesterday and he got to one of his running scenes, because it's the other big joke that he runs on all of them. And she goes, isn't he supposed to be like a really fast runner or something? Isn't that the big stick? And I was like, no, the stick is that he writes a running scene into every single one of his movies, so he looks faster than the speed of light. The running away from a nuke and shit. Oh, my God, I know. It's so funny. The speaking of running, I didn't mind the Ezra Miller horrible running that he does in the flash movie as much as in the Snyder films. Like, yeah, it felt a little more at home. At least I had a joke with it whenever he doesn't have the powers. And he's like, oh, it's so bad. The dude's really never ran a day in his life. And the whole Ezra Miller thing, I know he's he seems like a complete weirdo. I don't know all the accusations and what's true. I don't care again. That's none of my business. I'm here to watch movies, but I just never liked him as an actor. So regardless of his baggage, what is Hollywood like about this dude? Have you seen him in anything that you were like, wow, Ezra Miller. Fantastic performance. The only thing I've seen him in that I loved him in is perks of a wallflower or perks of being a wallflower. OK, I thought he's great in that one. There's a movie that he got a lot of recognition for called we need to talk about Kevin, and that was one of my early Patreon requests that I had to watch. Was it good? And it's worth checking out. But it's just it I can't remember specifically what my issue with it was. But it's basically a whole movie where you're watching it from the eyes of a mom or her kid is just fucked in the head right out of the gate, and you could tell this kid is evil from. That's the movie my buddy Matt pointed out and said that he's good in that movie. Yeah, he's a little creepy in that one, but I just didn't like the movie all that much. But I love perks of being a wallflower. OK. We got kind of a chick flicky kind of thing. I would say that I would say that. But it's also got the indie stank to it, I'm guessing. So it's kind of like a garden state, you know, where do you draw the line between indie and chick flick? We got Kali back to dollars thoughts on men in black in the sequels. I love the original. I have a lot of fun with men in black three. I've never liked to. I'm in agreement. I really enjoy the first one. It's an hour and five minutes long. I feel like you have you have an eight minute intro and it like eight minute outro and there's an hour movie in there somewhere. It's really good, though. It's fun. I'll never get over the hilarious scene where Will Smith's character is it K or J? I always forget which one's which. Jay, you know, he's dragging the table over and the guys are spending those awkward chairs. He shoots the girl with the quantum physics book. He's just going off. I was like, this guy's just working out. You know, this guy's a sketch. Yes, girl. It's it's good stuff. That's like Pete Will Smith, you know. Yeah, the funny thing you're talking about the length of old school movies back when we used to be able to easily digest them. It's easy to forget how short they are because I actually downloaded Men in Black. It was just like randomly that was what was on Netflix. I was like, I'll watch that because I was taking a flight to Austin, Texas for Fantastic Fest last year. And I finished the movie and still had time with my flight. And I was like, I forgot you used to not be a half a day. So it's so nice. And I for me, my theater, which unfortunately is only regal, it's all I have. Regal plays 25 minutes a trailer before every movie. And that's at least I've had times where it's been 35 minutes and they don't give you the start time of the actual movie. It's just this is when trailers start and it takes me 20 minutes just to get to the theater. So when something like Oppenheimer is three hours long, I have a half hour of trailers and I got almost an hour of drive time. It legitimately is a third of my day going to one movie. And that's just that's just taxiing. Yeah, I got pissed before Mission Impossible last couple of days ago because I went to go see it in the IMAX theater with my dad. And I already knew it was barely hovering under three hours. Yes. And then we got the 15 minutes of trailers. And then they played two different behind the scenes feature ads of how they did the stunts. And I was just like, start the fucking movie. We'll be here till one. Oh, my God. I just said, you know, it's funny about that, too, is I just had a I just talked about the stunts that Tom Cruise always does. And they're always that's like a big selling point to go to the movies to see how the stunt played out because he'll be training with like Navy seals and holding his breath under water for five hours while getting punched in the face or something ridiculous, you know? But then they kind of undercut it all by C. Jean, everything around him. Yeah. They're thinking, OK, that that's really awesome. He jumped out of a ship from space like 100 times to get this shot. Then they CG Paris in and a storm. And so Tom Cruise is literally the only thing that's real in that shot. And it kind of comes off as fake anyways. At that point, just put him in front of a green screen and film everything else. You know, yeah, that's how I felt about the train crash sequence at the end of the movie, where I was just like, this should be cool, but it's obviously fake. And so now it stands out because of all the other shit that you've already showed me. Yeah, that was how the motorcycle thing was for me, too, because you saw how he went up a ramp and then they CG the mountain in and that mountain doesn't look that real. It looks it looks pretty rough. Yeah. Regardless, they're they're still fun as hell. OK, yeah, men in black really like the first seconds. Man, third one is better than man. And then there is a fourth one. Let's not forget. Men in black. Oh, shit. Yeah, you're right. Never saw it. I didn't either. Men in black international or some shit. Yeah, I heard it was pretty terrible. And so I was like, no, I don't need that one in my life. I didn't see that either. You know, it's funny you say that is we're supposed to be the dudes that are telling people if it's horrible or not. And we're still going to like other people. Like occasionally I'll do that. I'll look on IMDb or on Tomatoes back. Oh, I didn't really want to see this. It looks like shit, but yeah, I mean, you're full time, too. So you have no excuse. You should be going to that movie. I wasn't when that came out. That's really what it is. I had overtime that day. Yes, exactly. OK, we got they're coming in still. My two dollars upgrade with Tom Hardy look alike. Very underrated. I've heard of upgrade. Yeah, that's the one that's got the frantic camera shots. And he does kind of look like Tom Hardy, doesn't he? Yeah, Logan Marshall Green. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. You never seen an upgrade? I didn't see it. I saw I saw some of the YouTube clips and I felt like that was all I needed to see. But maybe I'm a big fan of that movie. OK, hour and a half. Close to it. Hour forty five. I'm more in there. Yeah. That's where I like to live. Yeah. Unless it's Lord of the Rings, you can throw me 30 hours of Lord of the Rings and I'm all in. Sergio Rabiro, maybe? Rabiro, one ninety nine. Are you excited for Eli Roth's Thanksgiving? You could have stopped it. Are you excited for Eli Roth? And I would have said no. But I'm sure Cody has a different take on Eli. I'm curious about it, but I'm not a big fan of Eli Roth either. I'm one of those people that live on the island of like three more humans that loved his death wish remake. And that's the best movie that he's made, in my opinion, which says a lot. He is his humor is what always turns me off. I think that he's pretty good at having like really visceral gore. And then that kind of stops after that. So the fact that this is the movie that he teased with this little grindhouse trailer and he's finally making it has me curious. And there's no that I can think of. There's no Thanksgiving horror movies. So that's cool. But yeah, he's not a name that ever gives me confidence. I forgot he did that ground. He did that grindhouse trailer. That's right. There was at a high school and cheerleaders and stuff like that was actually funny. I like that. Yeah. So that's the movie. Maybe I would like Thanksgiving then because that that got me. I just don't like his torture porn style. The hostel did nothing for me. And I don't know. I guess they really haven't watched any of his other stuff. It just didn't have an fever. I did see cabin fever. I don't like that either. Like cabin in the woods. Yeah, me too. Not even close to relatable. Or you know, it's what is not like you'd tell me who that is that. Whedon. I think he wrote it. Yeah. I think he didn't write it. He did. Yeah, because it came out after the Avengers and everybody was like, Joss Whedon's the best in the nowadays. People are like, oops. Yeah, he he really kind of quietly slunk away. And he he's right there with Brian Singer. Those guys both ended up on like Epstein's Island somewhere and never left. Yep. Brian Singer was unceremoniously booted from his own film, which was the Queen movie. Well, he interrupts it. Yeah, they're both people that have a lot of controversies and me to accusations and stuff. So it's like, oh, they'll never work again. And yeah, it's nice while it lasted, guys. Yeah, as Ramil is still still flashing around. Yeah, very bizarre. All right, Hack the Movies. We know Hack the Movie. You know Hack the Movies, Tony? I'm not sure. Oh, you'll let you'd like Hack the Movie. You'd like Tony. He's a good guy. I disagree with you. Be fair, I don't watch a lot of movie YouTube. So it's not at all. I mean, say that as an insult. You probably know who Angry Video Game Nerd is. I've heard of the name. Yeah, OK. Tony used to work for Angry Video Game Nerd at Cinemastiker and then he went off and did his own Hack the Movies channel. Subscribe to Hack the Movies. Tony's really funny. He's a good guy. I go on there once in a while for the live streams. The three of us should really all get together and gang bang something out really quick. It would be nice. We'll all we'll all pee, cock it with the shirts only. It'll be a good five dollar powerful super chat says, I disagree through movie criticism. Prepare for my backlash. OK, so this is essentially just him wanting to get a shout out and he got it so very well done, Tony. Ramon's five dollars. Oh, no, Cody, you slipped up and called Ezra a he. They are going to come for you now. Oh, that's right. It's a they them thing. I got a lot of shit from my flash review because I tried my best to say they and keep it in the back of my mind. Because I'm still learning. And yeah, I do that, too. I do that, too. And so I got comments shitting on me for acknowledging that. And then I got comments shitting on me for the one or two times that I slipped up and said he and I'm just like, fuck, I can't win. Here's what I here's how I feel about it. I I'm very much like you have one shot on planet Earth. Enjoy yourself, be a good person to other people, respect them and just, you know, let people do what they want to do and be who they want to be. I also have a hard time, though, bending the English language. So the they them thing is just really hard for me to, you know, to like sound through when I'm talking. Yeah, I try to just say I just try to say the name. It's like Ezra, Ezra, Ezra and like whatever. I slip on it. I'm trying to make it more of a habit. But yeah, it's yeah, 30, 30 plus years of only saying he and she. Sometimes it fucks up my flow of my word sometimes. So I'll make a mistake here and there. We're in agreement. Yeah. Hack the movie clips. Why are you, Tony? Why are you responding from your second channel, by the way? Because Hack the Movie Clips is, you know, like the sub channel of Hack the Movies, whatever. There are a bunch of Thanksgiving horror movies. I have an episode all about them. Hmm, OK. Further expose in myself is not no one. Exactly, stop, stop exposing yourself to our people. It's disgusting. Does he mean a bunch of Thanksgiving, like title Thanksgiving horror movies? Or does he mean there's movies set at Thanksgiving time? I don't know. I can't think I was trying to think. I don't really because Eli Roth, his Thanksgiving movie, Capital T Thanksgiving, Christmas horror films. I've seen Fourth of July horror films. I'm sure there's Thanksgiving ones, but maybe they're the really, really older, like Grindhouse, direct to video in 1982 movies that I probably haven't watched yet. Tony's Channel deals in a lot of the sick, sexual, cultish type of movies. It's really depraved stuff. No, I'm joking. He they just cover a lot of old school classic films that sometimes go under the radar. Let's see here. Bronson Right Wolf for five dollars. I like Michael J. Fox's Stuart Little. Other than Back to the Future. What is your favorite Michael J. Fox movie? I got one and Cody, I bet you'll you'll say, wow, Adam, I agree. The Frightners. Absolutely. Yeah, I just reviewed that last month, actually. I love that movie. I love that movie, man. It holds up to even the way that they did kind of the the very simple old school ghost effects. It still looks good. Gosh, I the guy. I don't know the actor's name. He has kind of a Jim Carrey vibe to him if Jim Carrey was like a pedophile, but he's bald. And he's Jeffery Holmes. Yeah. Yes. Special Agent Danvers. And I show you not. I had that whole monologue memorized when he does the backstory of Frank Bannister, you know, making the basketball court for himself. And he's got the utility blade. That whole little diatribe is brilliant. And the knife was missing. Yeah, that guy's pretty wild. Teen carved into her forehead on Lucky for some. So good. Yeah. If you haven't seen the Frightners, I highly recommend it. It's a Peter Jackson film back when Peter Jackson did these kind of. I don't know. What would you call them? These shock shock flicks? Because he did monkey brains, too. Dead Alive and Dead Alive. Yeah, like a woman's eating her own or eating an eyeball at one point and her soup, a lot of shock type stuff going on there. Shock and awe. So, yeah, Michael J. Fox, I think was that your pick? Would you say? Oh, yeah, without a doubt. Yeah. He, you know, Michael J. Fox is like one of the saddest stories I just can't get over. The guy was so talented. He was also in Curb Your Enthusiasm. I think it was season, I don't know, six or seven playing himself like a lot of people do poking fun. It is. Yes. The Parkinson's and he was he was brilliant as always. Another good one if you guys want for Michael J. Fox is Doc Hollywood. That's another one of my thoughts. That's a decent one that come out early 90s, like 93 again. Kind of chick flicky. I yeah, I would say it's a period piece, too. Right. It's like in the 50s or 60s. I don't I don't think it was. I could be wrong, but no, he's he's driving a Porsche, I believe. So I don't think I think it was in the 90s. Is where he's driving a Porsche, right? Isn't it old time in Hollywood? Oh, maybe it's just the car is old school. OK. Yeah, probably. He's driving like a Porsche or something and he's a hot shot doctor. And yes, he fucks up a fence in this little country town and has to work it off by being a doctor. Yeah. Has a what's the Jim Carrey movie kind of similar premise? The majestic majestic where he gets hit on the head or whatever. And he has to help open the theater. Yeah, that's a decent movie. Yeah, it's decent movie. That's when Jim Carrey was kind of getting away from the comedy and going into the drama, you know, the twenty three and Truman show, which is phenomenal film. Not so much number twenty three. No, not so much twenty three, which my birthday is on the twenty third. So I really connected with that film, Cody. I was like, oh, my God, it is everywhere. It's everywhere. Mm hmm. OK, last one, maybe for real. You see what happened? We were at the last one twenty five minutes ago. Oh, dude, it happens all the time with me. I'll do mine and I'll be an hour behind on Super Chat sometimes. And I'm like, oh, shit. Well, you know, you're working for the night. You're getting you're getting you're putting your work in. There you go. Cody, are you excited to see Deadpool three with Wolverine back? Have you seen the pictures of his suit? This is for you. I mean, I'm not even addressed in this. There you go. I I'm cautiously optimistic. Very complicated with that. I love the first Deadpool. I didn't love the second one. Hugh Jackman's yeah, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine is probably my favorite portrayal of a comic book character. And I adored Logan. Yes. So there's a part of me or two. I mean, Patrick's known as Professor X. Oh, yeah. Only own the role. Yeah. So there's a part of me that's a little bummed out that that's not going to remain his his ending. And I know people out there are like, well, canonically, it's going to be before I'm talking about for the audience, our emotional ending, our send off of this is the last time I'm playing this character that was perfect. And the fact that they're undoing that bothers me a little bit. I also don't know what to expect from Disney's version of Deadpool, the MCU version of Deadpool. So I'm very guarded about that. And this is the first time that they've done anything R rated. And I don't know how they're good. They're going to do with it. And I'm at the point now, especially with comic book films, where I'm really just over cameos and Easter eggs and multiverse. And this is probably going to be just riffing on that because they're already talking about a lecture coming back, which means Ben Affleck's Daredevil is probably going to be announced at some point. You know, we've seen the picture that the 20th century Fox logo pushed off of the side like the original plan of the apes. You bastards. And so I can't help but fear this movie is going to be a year of leaks and a year of official stories, basically giving us every single cool part of the movie. And it's just going to be a whole bunch of cameos and stuff. It's probably going to be witty about it, but I just don't operate on that wavelength. And I would rather get excited for Deadpool three's story, not. Oh, it's going to be interesting to see a lecture again. And, you know, it's just so I don't know. I don't know what to expect. I think the biggest mistake the MCU made and the biggest disservice it could have done to its own storytelling is introduce the multiverse and really go all in with it because it has undercutted so many emotional moments and undercut so many characters that there's really just nothing to be scared about anymore because, oh, I mean, what? Doctor Strange two killed off O.G. Professor X and one variant of, you know, Stretch Armstrong, Mr. Fantastic. And it's like, OK, what am I supposed to feel anything? These people are just going to come back again because there's 8000 versions of them in different universes. Yeah, it just they jump the gun, I think, on the multiverse stuff. And they've gone all in on it now. And we've seen it now from so many different properties that it's it's boring. It's just not fun. Yeah, beyond that, too, which is a very weird rule that this exists. But because the writer's strike is going on while there's while they're shooting Deadpool three, he's not allowed to ad lib. I heard that. Yeah. That's the heart of Deadpool. Do you think that that's really going to hold any water, though? I mean, I feel like Ryan Reynolds will will be ad libbing and there's just no way around it. I don't know. I don't know. It's just a weird rule. I don't know how how it even works. Like, maybe he's got to live and they're going to they're going to keep it and hope that the writer's strike ends by the time the movie is getting edited. They're like, oh, fuck, put the good ones in. I think that's exactly what's going to happen. I think Ryan Reynolds is going to do what Ryan Reynolds does. And they're going to have all this footage. And one of two things is going to happen. One, they're going to release the the watered down version. And then they're going to hold on to another edit, kind of like the fucking X-Men rogue cut. If you remember that thing where they had an entire character who was waited for a bonus DVD or they're going to have the writer's strike end, they're going to put out the good version right away. But I think either way, there's not a chance. Ryan Reynolds is going to keep quiet. That's the one thing he will not do. By the way, that X-Men Days of Future Past row cut is is a really good version of the film. And I like the original version a lot, but that one is even better. Yeah, I agree. It's complete bullshit that they cut that, what, ten minutes out of the film. Yeah, it's so weird. It's so weird sometimes when you find out that they cut. She was on the posters and then she wasn't in the movie. It's bizarre. She wasn't even a cameo in the movie. Is that isn't that false advertising at some point? Yeah. Bonkers. All right. One more, maybe, by the way, he didn't ask me, but I'm in agreement with you, Cody. I'm I'm cautiously optimistic, but not very hopeful and Logan is top five comic book movie for me. I thought that film was was brilliant. Yeah, same. And it was one of the reasons why I was actually the only reason I thought that Indiana Jones five might have a shot at being really good because James Mangold is at least three for three with me for the movies he's directed. I love every single one of the movies that I've seen from James Mangold with the exception of Dial of Destiny. And so, yeah, I'm right there with you. Chris Retzlaff, however, I apologize if I butch your names. I'm not going to pronunciation. Two dollars says still on Apple TV is a great Michael J. Fox documentary. Thanks, guys. Yeah, still still is the name of the documentary. Correct. I really want to see it, but I know it's going to it's going to be emotional. And so I haven't I haven't been in the right headspace to check it out. Yeah, that's how I my wife likes the documentary stuff. Me not so much because they're often crippling depression, but she watched the Bel Kilmer one. And I just couldn't do it. I'd rather have him as it's the same reason I don't have any interest in the tabloid gossip or, you know, go with the whole, you know, Tom Cruise is sacrificing babies to some alien and cytology. I know that a lot of these people are messed up because a lot of regular people are messed up. Cody and I have seen it in our comments recently a lot more. And it's scary and sad. So I really try to separate the art and the artist and and not worry so much about what Michael J. Or what Michael Jackson is doing with boys on his ranch. Because I just ignorance is bliss is a true statement. There's a lot of bad shit going on by bad people. And it's overwhelming and honestly not worth my time because I'm not going to be able to solve the world's problems. Yeah, I mean, we all have our lines that can't be crossed. But it's it's especially when it comes to political stuff. Whenever I talk with somebody that won't watch a movie or won't watch a show because the guys that starred in it, his political view, I'm like, dude, then you might as well not watch anything. And don't listen to anything. Don't play anything. Boy, I mean, if you're anti-slavery, I hope you don't have an apple phone. I think we're all anti-slavery. But unfortunately, the way capitalism works is there's a lot of people working for nothing and they're building the shit that we are enjoying. And it's it's it's sad, but that's the the messed up world we live in. And you can only boycott so much before you kind of turn into a hypocrite. Bronson Wright, Wolf, five dollars super chat says, what is your favorite Johnny Depp Tim Burton movie? I'm asking about the movies they collaborated on together. Well, you have Sweeney Todd, which I never saw because it's a musical. I'm sure Cody didn't see it because he doesn't like musicals. You have Edward Scissor, Scissor Hands. You have, well, big, big fish. I don't know, Johnny Depp signed in Big Fish. I'm sorry. What does he love Tim Burton? I'm not a big Tim Burton fan. I got to be honest with you. There's that one where he it's kind of like an Adams family esque film as well, where they're like a monster family. I didn't see that one. They've been in five or six movies. They've done five or six movies together. I know. Yeah, it's probably going to be Edward Scissor Hands for me. And I'm not massively in love with that movie. But yeah, it's Edward Scissor or Sleepy Hollow. Sleepy Hollow would be my pick. I'm going to look quick just to make sure, but I will agree with you. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a big hill now. I don't I don't like that movie. Sweeney Todd, I never saw. Dark Shadows is the one you were talking about. That's what I was talking about. Nelson Wonderland looked like Hot Trash. Yeah, Sleepy Hollow is going to be 100 percent for me as well. Yeah, that's a cool movie. I like that movie. It is. I like that one. There's the only movies by Tim Burton that I genuinely like are Sleepy Hollow. I still love Pee Wee's Big Adventure. I can't love that one. I've come around to Batman Returns, but I've never been a big Keaton-era Batman fan to be honest. I'm a big fan of Batman. I don't I don't care for the original with. I think it's aged like I think it's aged like milk, to be honest with you. It doesn't hold up at all. And Jack Nicholson is really a good joker. But the movie itself doesn't look very good. The action's lame. Returns, I think, still is pretty damn awesome, though. I like I like it better than the original I do. Yeah, I think for sure. Michelle Pfeiffer is great and DeVito. DeVito is just perfection as the penguin. Yeah. OK, good question, though. Got us got us on our toes trying to figure one out. I still think Tim Burton's best movie, though, is Big Fish by by a country mile. Never seen it. I would check it out. Put it on your list, Cody. It came out right after Planet of the Apes. So I was a little bit on your list. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Number three thousand seven hundred and fifty. Yeah, I always think of the sea. You've seen Road Trip, right? Yeah, yeah. I always think of the scene where he calls in to the douche bag, suck up guy back at the college. And he's like, OK, whole or take this note down. And the guy's like, yep, I'm rained it down right now. You're going to fuck off or whatever it is. Oh, good. So unnecessary to write anything down, but they underlines it and shit. All that's going to hear where I really love when they do a point where it doesn't even make sense in the context of the scene, but just adds an extra element. Yeah, on that note, I think, you know, on a note of road trip, how every conversation should end. Classic comedy from the fifties starting with the name Stifler. Tron William Scott, who I believe was was from my old stomping grounds in Minnesota. Yeah, we should end there. Cody, this was awesome, dude. Yeah, I had fun. You want to you can pick your channel one more time, I suppose. Yeah, if you guys just go to just search Cody Leach on YouTube, you'll find me at the name of my channel. I'm going to have a mission of possible ranking at some point tomorrow. That'll be kind of the new blood. But I just reviewed the newest movie a couple of days ago. And then we got Barbenheimer next week. So Barbenheimer. Yeah, I like it. Are you going to review them together in the same video? I don't know. That's an interesting idea. Maybe I'll wear a Ken shirt when I review Oppenheimer and then I'll wear like a nuclear physicist suit when I review. You could kind of do a hazy thing and just, you know, profile yourself profile yourself. Alrighty, that was Cody. Cody, this was awesome. I'm glad that you decided to come on, kind of like out of nowhere today. Appreciate you taking time on your schedule. Check out his channel. Of course, if you somehow came here from Cody's because, you know, you're awesome like that, subscribe to mine as well. I post movie content every week. We keep politics and religion, all that bullshit out of it. There's enough of that in the world. I just focus on movies, giving you my honest takes, trying to make you laugh. And hopefully you get something out of it. Because I didn't go. Alrighty, later, dude. And in broadcast, it's still.
