 Nice and hot and sweet and juicy. Nice and hot and sweet and juicy, just like ate a lot of booty. I thought you were going on a different direction there. Corbin. The Rock Miles. This is... Richard. The f*** seagull. You're in rare form today. And thank you for following us. Sorry! I did. I thought you were gonna do some... rare indigo. I thought you were gonna do some... Patreon and follow us on official Twitter account. And today... we are doing a movie review. And it is of the movie Quine. That's how it's pronounced, right? Quine. Quine. Quine. Quine. Quine. Starring. We picked this film because we wanted to start getting into other actors that people wouldn't want to us do for many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many. And... I can't pronounce her name. Kudra. How do you put your... Khangana. Khangana now. Khangana now. Khangana now. And Rajkumar Rao. Yes. We texted him before. I was like, yeah, let's watch Quine because when we watched a trailer originally, Rick wasn't very impressed. But it was like really early on, I think it was like five months ago. It was a while back. And so we also didn't realize that Rajkumar Rao was actually in this- It was Rajkumar Rao and it was in it, yeah. It's one of those idiots morons. I'd like to go back to our first reactions where we completely miss people like Nawazin did. Yeah, oh, that's happened I think a billion times that we miss Nawazin. Yeah, I think we still miss Nawazin. Yeah, like, we're morons now, but we were really, really stupid. We were more stupider than- Obviously, 100% spoiler review. Yeah, if you've seen it, go see it. We assume everybody else has seen it. Read the synopsis for me, please. The synopsis of Quinn, a deli girl from a traditional family, sets out on a solo honeymoon after her marriage gets canceled. That's true. That's correct. Yep, that's what happens. Directed by Vikas Baal. Baal, yeah. Vikas Baal. Let me see if we've seen him in anything else before. Do you know if we have? As far as the anything that Vikas is directed. Yeah, it doesn't look like it. I don't think so. I recognize this name, Amit Trevedi. Yeah, I do. We've seen his work. Is he the director of Deputy? No, no, no. Composer sound. But I think there's a film we've seen, if not more than one, film we've seen where he did the score. Yes. Because that name is very familiar. Yes. So, look at all of the writers. I didn't realize it was that much of a collaborative screenplay. Yeah. Wow. Cool. Yeah, so we got it so we can get into her and we'll get into more of her, obviously, watching more of her films because she's a beloved actress and warranted, I believe. But let's just go ahead and get into it. We're going to make our initial thoughts. Richard, the third. You are the third, right? I am the third. I am Richard the third. Okay. Yep. Initial thoughts of the film? Overall. Overall? Loved it. Really liked it? Mm-hmm. Really liked it, loved it, really liked it, loved it. The only reason I don't fall into the category of loving it like as much as I did English or English because it's a very similar film. I was going to say the exact same thing. Yeah. It reminds me a lot. I would put this just a little bit behind English-English in terms of my love of it solely because the second act kind of got a little... When she got to Amsterdam? Little draggy. It got a little bit draggy whereas English-English never got draggy. That's my only critique of this film. I have two critiques of the film. It wasn't too draggy. Like it was just certain parts because there were certain parts that were very fun, very interesting, very funny. 95% of the movie I really, really liked, if not loved. She's fantastic. We'll talk about her and him. I watched it with my wife and I turned to her like almost 30 minutes and I was like, this is like the young story of English-English. Exactly, very much. It's the same. It's a very similar story. Indian going to... But it's still original. Yeah, from a conservative family. And then gets into a different culture and doesn't know what to do. But she falls in love with a guy who's a foreigner that is attractive to her and he knows how to cook. But she's very almost innocent and very sweet. Because that's not... Because she's actually one of the first actresses we got introduced to in trailer reactions. I don't know if you remember. Was she in... Monica? She is Monica. Wow. Yeah. That's how impressive she is actually. Because the first... Okay, now we got to watch that ASAP. The first impression we got of her was this warrior woman queen. So that's how I pictured her. That's what I was actually thinking. Wow, that's funny because I didn't even make that connection when I was watching the film. Even from the trailer queen when we saw the trailer that she almost seemed a little more not as like reserved and innocent in the trailer. She seemed more of like an independent kind of... Well, and that's who obviously she found herself as, but that's not who really the character was. We'll talk about that as well. But she... We can talk about that because she's phenomenal. Like from the first... She's so real. She doesn't have false moments. She's so real. Because this is a film that's meant to be like almost like a light enjoyable kind of pop it in and you could just watch it at any time. Yeah. Kind of like English things. A lot like English. But she brought a lot of depth to that character. Totally believed her. Like she brought... She could see the sadness in her eyes when she was like going through the whole thing. And but it wasn't like over... Because that can be easily done by an actress that when she's going through something like that to like overdo it. Yes. In fact, good point. In fact, the opening scene... Not the opening scene but the coffee shop scene. The opening scene. Where he's there. We can talk about that because that was so good to watch those two actors. Yes. Act. Yes. So go ahead. And she... This is what happened when I was watching her and it's really the first scene you're getting to watch her in the film. And I was watching her and part of me wanted... This is important for you as a movie watcher. What I'm about to say. Part of me wanted to see her respond in a bit more emotional manner. And I caught myself and said, Stop it. Do not impose upon her your expectations. This is her moment and not everybody reacts the same way or in the way you expect. Just is she believable? And so I did that quick switch and immediately... I mean that scene made me sick. I was heartbroken. She immediately... That opening song number and watching her. I was immediately connected to her so that when the scene came up in the coffee shop I was already emotionally invested in this girl and sad that this was happening to her. Agreed? Oh, 100%. Yeah, 100% which is really, really incredible to get me that attached to a character within the first five minutes. That's very, very rare. Yeah. Yeah. I mean Shredevi did it in English-English. Yes. She's obviously very different than Shredevi. Totally different. Because Shredevi is almost... That's who just Shredevi is I think. Yeah and it's a completely different stage of their life. Yeah. As far as the characters are concerned. So when we make that comparison to English-English it's really more kind of the subject matter in terms of a female character learning about herself and making this big... It's a coming of age without a biological connection to it. It's just a coming of age story so is English-English. And it has the same feel throughout as well. The use of music, the use of a city as a backdrop. The use of travel. Have a meeting culture. A bunch of friends from different places. Yeah. It's a very similar types of story. Yeah. But obviously it's completely original because it's a completely different time in this person's life. And I loved... We can talk about Rushmore Rao as well. Yeah, which we're going to. That man, he's... I kept saying I was like Newton is a dick. Yep. Yep. But he does it. Because this is another thing that can happen with actors and you can see it happen a lot in any kind of film. And it has happened in Indian films, Bollywood films. Where the guy who's a dick fiancé is a caricature. Right. Totally hollow. He's not a real person. He made him very real. 100% real. 100% real person. Not like a come on this is... Don't do this to me. Blah blah blah. Right. He was like totally real. Like you could see somebody actually making this argument in real life 100% even though they are a dick. Which is what made you dislike him so much. That's proof that this guy is such a good actor. And the character was well written out. And he fully fleshed this character out. Because he made me feel the way the director and the screenwriter I am sure wanted us to feel about this guy. Yeah. And just a fully formed character who I wanted. I so wanted when he gets into the beginnings of a fight on the street. I so wanted Oleksandr to beat the crap out of him. I just that guy needed to have his ass kicked. Yeah. I really dislike him. Which shows you what a good job he did. Yeah. That's actually sometimes the best acting is when you hate a character so much. It's not obviously the writing and the directing. But an actor needs to do his job very well. Like one of the best and it's my least favorite character of all time basically. But it's not because they're bad. It's because the character I hate so much is Umbridge from Harry Potter. I hate that character so much. But she does such a phenomenal job. Correct. She did her job. She did her job. Amazingly. Yeah. Because in order to hate somebody that much you have to do very, very well. You do. And obviously the writing and the directing of course. Correct. And you have to as an actor remember that your primary job as an actor is not to be likable. No. Your primary job as an actor is to be believable and portray that character in an honest way it is. And I always go back to Caprio and Jango how he personally had such a detestation for that kind of person. But he had to set that aside and not judge. How do you not judge that character? Mm-hmm. You know and yeah beautiful, beautiful work because I really and I was so happy. Oh two things. Yeah two things. Can we talk about that right now? Yeah. That number one she left to go to the concert. Yeah well yeah I saw that coming. And then even more that she didn't settle. I was I was nervous for a little while. I was really scared because I was like okay what are they gonna do because I was like they can't this has to be a story of her not going back it has to be. That's where I was I thought it was going and it finally did. It got nervous for a little bit. I was like do not do this to me do not let me go back with him. No no please do not. And it I thought that another thing that the director did as did a lot of people in costume and hair and makeup don't get enough credit for a film that has this kind of a subtle nuance because what happens to her was done in such a subtle way where you see her go from being a young lady to a woman the coming of age thing for her. As subtle as when she gets back her mom notices the difference in her hair and when she got when she's coming through the door I recognize the way her parents would she looks different she's she's grown up and here's the other thing I loved about her growing up she grew up without compromising her core values and not judging other people who were different from her her character is a beautiful picture to me of what it means to be a person who can still mature and expand their life and open themselves up and and become more experienced in life and not completely lose themself in the process and hold on to who they are and not judge other people who are different from that she doesn't become vj but she she takes little parts that she's learned and kind of almost adds it to herself and she and not only does she not become vj she also beautifully doesn't judge him in fact she does what a really mature person will do in the situation when she says thank you yeah that was great that that is a person who has become fully healed and recognize it literally she went from how could you do this to me to thank you for doing this uh and I have without getting into others that I have personal stuff experientially that I completely resonate with that yeah and it really does take and this is not it's it's the human experience that's probably my favorite thing about this and the quintessential stamp for me as to whether I love a film versus like a film is when I'm watching it or when I'm done my thoughts are man Ashley Alexis and Micah gotta see this that's a I really I almost texted you and I was like if you can get there yeah I get them with you I was like they'll they're gonna love it they're gonna like it like they like English English but yeah it's they're not here they have jobs and now here's here's the difference where I put English of English ahead of it and I put it just a smidgen behind one we've already talked about was the the pacing issue I had which was very small yeah very small and then the other thing was while I enjoyed her friends and I particularly liked the story of Taka and the sadness of that that thought that was really beautiful the his family being gone in the tsunami there was some forced acting on his part as well as the other actors in that group they didn't have the level of believability and camaraderie that the class did in English of English I thought that I thought they were exactly the same yeah that was the problem I had with English English was the class it's funny so we flipped yeah yeah okay well no I had the same problem in here so though you did have the same problem okay same exact gotcha gotcha gotcha so I didn't have that problem in English English I actually believed him and loved the camaraderie but you felt the same way yeah and you feel the same way I do yeah yeah I felt the same way it's just I felt also felt as in English English and it's not it's it's not one of those things where there's many times I've loved to film sometimes a little racist with the asian yeah oh yeah just a lap so was the moment of oh look a girl throwing up yeah yeah okay great right the the it wasn't it it's just a minor critique that I have there have been movies we've watched where other actors in it are so bad that it it literally is like I'm not even going to recommend this because that is such crap and they're nowhere near that the other thing I don't like is her friend and the Italian chef their accents were yeah really hard to listen to the chef was I was like he can't actually be Italian well here's the thing he actually the guy apparently is like this a theatrical heavyweight he's got mate he studied in London but he's not Italian right he is genetically but that's not where he grew up he did do some studies doesn't have an accent he did comedial art study in Italy but his his his upbringing no no no he had to he had to do that accent and it's obvious that's what it sounds like same with her the her best friend that she gets who's also a vj I forgot her full name it sounded like a like a cartoon yeah hers you like a my bust yeah his his was bad and hers was equally her her accent because he's an Australian actress yeah so their two accents were like I was listening I was like this either he has the most Italian the great thing is he looked it yeah he looked the part and you don't like a my bust you know what even though he didn't have the accent I could see the guy's active chops yeah he's a good actor yes he did a good job it was just the accent the accent was bless his heart man maybe they were made him do like a really Italian accent could have been a director choice I don't know my suspicion knowing what I because I did a little research on him my suspicion is even he will tell you yeah I didn't have enough time to prepare that way I want to prepare it and I don't think that was a director choice because there was a couple other people that were very whether it was Asian or Norwegian yeah talk about yeah we don't know for example he did a great job I'm wondering if it was like intentional like almost stereotypically I don't know well it was a very stereotypical and what you don't like the food yeah that was you want to give me the first kiss but again very very small critiques as a whole like a movie in a oh yeah I enjoyed it it's one that's like if it's on it's like you can watch it 100% and my favorite part of it is they're acting rock tomorrow to like especially when they were together like the coffee shop scene was phenomenal just to watch these two actors that aren't really character characters kind of almost normal people but to watch them act in to watch two people that know how to act very very well yeah so satisfying so satisfying um as is as is to watch somebody who acts very well and like one of my favorite moments for her was when she first is has arrived in Paris and she's first meeting vj her friend and she knocks on the door and she's been brushing her teeth and she just talks to her as she's brushing her teeth that's what that would be an acting exercise where you're in the in the theater the teacher says to you okay I want you to get up and I want you to show me what it looks like when you're brushing your teeth in the morning it's hard to do and not show it yeah I thought I thought she never shows anything just because it was really good she was good except for the accent thing I really liked her yeah I really liked her those people I really loved was the dad and the mom and the kid especially the dad yeah he he showed they showed a side of um uh indian parents that really love their children and just want them to be happy and they're heartbroken when they're heartbroken yeah um and so that was very very sweet the exact thing do you need to go on this trip right I was just gonna think of the moment on the bed I thought that was beautiful I thought it was beautiful how she said um that was a beautiful beautifully written beautifully done simple but she said she wants to go and he said do you need to and she's honest and she says I don't need to and then she just so sweetly says if you don't want me to I won't yeah because you're my dad mm-hmm makes me emotional yeah and then you see him make the decision without saying a word he just says his hand on her and the cinematographer and the director they just slowly go up from her to him to take you to his decision making force you to take the p.o. beyond him and you can tell he immediately is you know I don't want her to with the thought of my little girl going off on her honeymoon without her fiancee who just broke her heart and she still has the hen on her hands but how can I not let her go yeah good daddy also the the the score in the songs they're phenomenal like fun yeah really really fun every time a song came in because it happened all the time I do wish we knew what song they kept referring to the end of taking the club that was good I know I'm sure it's this big song it is exactly I was like but yeah the use of the music constantly coming in added so much energy and again she is adorable watching her totally believable watching her experience things again some of which that she pushes herself to like just the sweetness of her in the bathroom and her seeing her shoulder strap and putting it back up or the little dance and letting herself go but then there were the moments and you know the moments of I'm not staying in that room there's boys in that room yeah you know uh and then yeah they were so sweet and letter yeah in there yep I didn't understand why they were so scared of a lizard though that was okay two moments the lizard moment was overblown I did understand as was okay they're gonna do to you exactly as and that's the writing those actors couldn't do it yeah do with the script set yeah and then the other thing that was scripted and was just too forced yes that would be freaking hysterical if you're in a store and the sweet Indian girl is so naive that she doesn't know yeah that that massager is actually a sex toy right but their response was so over the top I was like guys pull it back look at how small she's being pull it back that's I think that's either director or writing exactly totally and they were saying oh no we need more and this has to be funny a funniest thing you've ever seen in your life yeah get it so again teeny tiny nitpick on a whole you really like oh yeah I really love this yeah um I want to get into her a lot more I love her as an actress she's wonderful did you make the connection that she's the exact same actress as judgmental hi-kai nope and no Rajkumar Rao was that in that film as well that I knew it's her yeah that I didn't she's the one with the big hair didn't know that because um though her face had a familiarity to me I was just why I'm so excited it's like when we started to get into Shahid uh uh and I saw like our Nawaz and we saw like the different characters he was like um like I think we've only reacted to a few of hers and I believe it was Manick Arnica which was early that was like the first week of getting into Indian trailers because it just came out yeah uh queen we were like yeah yeah queen and then judgmental hi-kai I believe there might be a few others no I think she's in fashion with Priyanka I think she's in fashion she maybe she is um but I want to get into her more because yeah her and um and of course Rajkumar Rao because VJ is the name of here what's the doll um from um Kahani what the the movie we just watched it's in in in Calcutta and she's pregnant and Kahani yeah Kahani uh the actress in that she has the same name as the character um I want to get to know more of her work I enjoyed her the same way I enjoyed her yeah and in like oh this is a really solid actor that's it yeah Vidya Vidya Vidya that's it I feel the same way about Vidya as I do her in this in terms of I've seen an actor that I've never seen before and I want to see more of her work because she's so good and once again there's lots of people that actually believe that uh this lady how do you pronounce her name again in in this this Kangana Kangana is the best actress in Bollywood I wouldn't I would want to see more of her work but based on what I saw here that wouldn't surprise me that's I mean not everybody's obviously opinion but a lot of people she's so good and I believe she's like almost a self I could be wrong but I believe she's like a self-made you'll you'll know what you'll I think you're gonna agree with me when you say this and this is purely actor-centric the quint the the real pull for me about an actor is when I'm watching them and inside I am just like this with I want to act with them yep oh I want to be in a scene with them 100% 100% I was watching I was like oh the gifts she would give you same with him Rajkumar Raab the gifts they would give to you yeah while you're working yeah I mean just what a joy to be able to work with actors are they're that good 100% I would 100% love to work with her oh yeah she's phenomenal love this film and again it's the recommendation yeah telling us that it was so good even though Rick hated the trailer because if you go back and watch and he I think you were confused I may have been it was also very early it was five months ago yeah it was and again that's why we don't judge movies by the trailers yes but and and this is again like the statement I made early on when we were first getting introduced to Indian film and actors some of the best acting that you'll ever see is being done by actors you've never known here in America it's just it's the more people outside of India can see the gorgeousness of the work that's coming out of India the happier I'm going to be because I I feel like they're you know people are missing out on an enriching of their lives by missing out on the artistry that we're getting the blessing of being exposed to 100% 100% and this is again a gem so let let us know what we should watch and review next especially their work yeah Rajkumar Rao so but specifically because I know more of Rajkumar's filmography because we've wrecked a bunch of his trailers now and we know we've got a long way to go yes which is great yes there's other actors we don't know please let us know because we'd like to get exposed to as many as possible and you know what else is happy for me what there's going to be some actors that come up that we don't even know yet because they haven't started their careers and we'll get to enjoy with everybody as it's happening yeah that'll be fun and his name is Corbin Singh that's it
