 Well, here we are back in the car. It's negative. I don't know 12 out today in Minnesota wind shield Maybe a little bit nippier nippier. Yeah, okay. We just saw Eddie the eagle. It doesn't come out for a while So this was a this was a big one for us to get tickets to it was a full house A lot of people are gonna compare it to cool runnings and a lot of people would be correct with that. Definitely You know, we made quite the night of this we saw a movie we went to cub foods did some shopping for you I don't remember what we even picked up, but here we are. We're gonna reminisce a little bit I had no idea what this movie was going in. I don't think you even saw a trailer I haven't seen the trailer. You know, he did send it my way made about as easy as possible Well, I didn't click play for you. So we missed that opportunity This was a pleasant surprise, especially considering it's January when all the shitty movies are out. Yeah, this was this was nice. It's a feel-good movie What camera are you looking at by the way? Are you looking at this one or this one? I was looking in between them. I think This is even more ghetto than usual, but I think if either of it's this one This car side reviews very special. We're using a GoPro as the primary my laptop Which is balancing half on the dash half in your hand And then we have my phone as a light source just blasting me in the face Like a Filipino man usually does Well, there was Christopher Walken Small roll small roll. Yeah, we've got Hugh Jackman Jack and Wolverine. Yeah, Wolverine and then pretending to be an American. Well, he does that often More American than I am really it's more of a man than I am Definitely more than you are. There's no doubt about that. Who's the main guy? I don't even know Eddie I'm not sure but he seemed very similar in looks to the real Eddie the eagle. Yeah, they didn't Michael Edwards No, thank you. They did a good job. Um, you did a good job playing in my guests I don't I don't really know what the real Eddie's like. We thought he had some sort of a disability We looked him up for probably two minutes, which is far more time than I wanted to spend looking up anything Yeah, but I think he's just very quirky. I just have a lot of ticks I mean, you definitely had leg problems yet vision problems. This movie is all about overcoming obstacles This is the textbook Hollywood feel-good film It follows all the staples that you expect, you know, we have the the roaring music Yep, which got a hauling out hauling which you know what the music is the highlight of the I agree It it brought me back to 1988. Yeah, the way the way they filmed it the story structure. Yeah, the music The villains the villain The villain is overcoming obstacles and disabilities and whatnot But there is so many of these little side characters that are just so over the top. I'm talking to his teammate the British Olympic commissioner Like you'll never compete in the Olympics who remind me of Michael or a Pullman Bill Pullman a little bit. Really? I thought so That movie more than anything else made me never want to ski. Oh God take a jump I mean, I like downhill skiing, but I couldn't even do that like 10 meter jump But that time they 10 minute was an option. I think it was a 15. Well, that's the one that pulls you in It might have been 15. Well, what pulled me in was the fantastic Dynamic between Jackman and Eddie the actor that I don't know the name of the essentially Jackman was the John candy You know this movie Do we say that there was a reference to cool running in the film because apparently there was the same year that The Jamaican bobsled team horrifically lost Spoiler alert they don't show up in the movie. Yeah, they don't show up Although you mentioned it would be awesome if there was like Like there was a computer generated John candy that walks by and he's like good luck kid. It was very 90s It was very late 80s very early 90s as far as just the dressing the music the just the beats as you said It plays out so like mighty ducks like the couple montage Yeah, just the beats were beat for a bar fight, of course A little bit of rootiest to it. There was the underdog Well, there was a lot of underdog and I like there's a lot of hugs a lot of hugging to go around and I like that I like when there's hugging in the movie. I'm so sick of an uh An achievement being made and the dismissive father is just like meh So what if you did this? You know, I like that. I like the spirit I think we you know, I think we covered do we cover a pheromones or more that needs to be said about a film like this I don't necessarily think so but I think just so that your Viewers know that it was just a fun film when it comes out I wouldn't say you necessarily need to run out to the theaters to see it But whether it's on dvd or otherwise I would recommend checking it out I I was there hasn't been a movie like this for me in a while And so I think that maybe you should go see it in theaters just because you I found myself Smiling almost the entire two hours or hour and 45 minutes while I was watching the movie like at the end scene Yeah, I had a big grin on my face And I only assumed like that if you could look at everybody's face in the theater They also had the same grin people were laughing and smiling and talking when we left the theaters It's not this is not a martian. This is not a you know, Revenant You don't have to think too hard No You're just going and have a good time You're pretty confident on how it's going to play out Especially if you know the background history of eddie, which I did not Now I do I'm glad I know it now But it's so hard to rate these kind of movies. It is run of the mill. It is You know everything you expect I'm gonna go an 8.5 though I'm gonna go higher than I said originally from the eight I like a good true story even if it is only 10 to 15 true and quick time just Quick time quit does that mean nothing recorded? Do you think? I don't know let me I was hoping you're gonna give it an eight because I was gonna give it an eight also For the 88 olympics. Oh, well, I can I can drop down I can scale back for the schtick Review scores really don't matter though. You know an 8.5 today is a nine tomorrow is a 7.5 the next day It's just I got a great feeling from this film. I can easily rewatch it And it's you know, it's a family. It's family friendly minus the part where Hugh Jackman Pretends to have an orgasm for far too long way too long too long But regardless other than that, I thought it was like a well made pg-13 movie I mean you don't see a lot of pg-13 comedies like this anymore. No, all right. That's it Thanks for joining us in the car. We'll see you next time
