Spree
Scott: [:Frank: blockbuster, Hollywood, and the independent
Scott: video store over. But the days of searching the shelves for hidden gems and overlook call classics is never ending. Join us while
Frank: we drown in a sea of streaming options and ask the question, what the hell
Scott: is a good movie.
Anyway, I'm Frank I'm
Frank: Scott. And where are the last video store clerks?
oh, you got your water bottle that says come .
Scott: How exciting is it? Amazing. Let me get the camera. smile. Actually shout out to, uh, Winslow domain. At Winslow, domain.com. He's a standup comedian on Instagram. And dude's funny as hell in metals. Fuck. I got a water bottle. That is a come jug. Kelly wouldn't have liked it if I got the one that said piss on it and is piss colored, uh, because I think it's too, uh, yeah, there's just something too describing.
Frank: Yeah. Certain fluids are fine, but
o drink more water. Oh. Like [:Frank: I'm sure that's a trick someone else has used in the past. Yeah. Just, just
Scott: it's good. It's good for you.
Frank: Protein. Yeah, dude jogging with that one.
Just every time you take a drink, make sure it's, you know,
Scott: oh, when I finally go back to the gym, cuz every time I decide to go to the gym, they're like, COVID is really high and I'm like, fucking yeah, they fuck up a lot. Yeah. So I, uh, when I do go back, I'm bringing the CU bottle. For sure.
Frank: keep your distance bitches.
Yeah. But then they're gonna see how hard you're going on that elliptical. And they're gonna jump on the
Scott: wagon, but I love it. His, uh, his Instagram is at calculations and he followed me originally and he got me. He is like, excellent research work there, friend. Like, I was like, holy shit. I want everything.
That guy makes and I got a free sticker with it that says Gatorade should be thicker. Ooh
Frank: did you ever see it? When I, you know, everybody's got the stick figure
Scott: [:Frank: with like a kitchen knife.
And everybody's little sticks were cutting pieces and there was blood everywhere. I traded in the car with that sticker on the
Scott: back window. oh man. Yeah. I really want the one. That's like a stick figure and it's like two smiling stick figures, holding hands and a pile of money. Pile of money.
Frank: Yeah. no, at the time I was just like, yeah, I had it.
the guy was like, you didn't take that off on, like I'm trading it in. Y'all can take it off. It's your
Scott: fucking problem now. Yeah. Now the next
Frank: thing I traded in the guy was like, yeah, we did donuts last night. I'm like good use of it man. Way to go right on fucking with my shit, but it's not my shit anymore.
Scott: So it's all good. Yeah. You gotta get your kicks where you can. Oh, with your old car. Yeah, no, I had that single
Frank: cab truck. Would you watch this week? Oh dude, I finished the Cher noble tapes. Oh, is it the
Scott: documentary?
tially started cuz you know, [:So what happened was the government wanted to film everything to show how safe and how great the cleanup was going. Oh wow. What, what that ended up getting was just all of the disaster on film, but it's crazy. Cause if you watch the series, you know, Cher, noble on HBO based on true events. But if you look deeper into it, you found out, you know, some of it was stretched here and there, you know, for our entertainment.
Yeah. You know, to draw you in. But no, this was actual footage.
Scott: Yeah. Thank God. Yeah. Like I was saying last time, really boring if you weren't into it. Oh
Frank: see I was into it though. So I was fine. I was fine. I watched it. And then this documentary though, I, I had done some extra digging after, so I was like, why not?
It's different to see it. You know, I hadn't seen that much in other documentaries just because this was what they were filming from the inside.
Scott: Yeah. Oh, I also sorry to interrupt you. No, no, no. That skin Walker ranch. Was it a show thing that you watched that you were like, it was more like ghost hunters and people had bought this thing?
The one that I
think there was one reality [:Scott: Yeah. I came across that today and I was like, what? And then I was like, wait a minute. I think, uh, Frank said something.
Frank: No, it's just that bullshit because that's another one that I watched fucking, I watched a treasure hunting show on Netflix, something ADAC pirates of, I don't even fucking remember the name.
It was eight episodes.
Scott: Oh, I think I saw, I came across that too. Yeah. I was looking for stuff to. A a lot this week. Yeah. If you've
Frank: ever watched the curse of Oak island, that was another old man. Treasure hunting show. Same shit different day. Oh yeah. They're like, oh, I think we have something over here. And then it's like, what is that?
What is that cut to commercial? Or that's there? You gotta wait till the next fucking episode. Think, fuck. They're already all out because stupid shit. Yeah. It's never anything, but spoiler alert, they actually fucking find gold in this one. So if you wanna see one where they find something, fuck this ADAC one.
e been tearing up for like a [:Scott: years. They didn't find shit though. These guys keep digging up. They're like, oh, that's wood.
That can be from a ship or a trash watching guys look for a Bigfoot. Yeah. Or it's like, oh, oh, here are the knocking. Yeah. Or that
Frank: could be from the fucking wooden scaffolding thing. They built in the forties when they were searching for gold here before. Yeah. Cause that's the thing they're digging up.
All this land. That's been dug up over and over and over again. Yeah. Where the fuck is. If there was anything you fuckers have buried it, even deeper. Fucked it up in the
Scott: process. Yeah. Just covering ground. Somebody else already has done.
Frank: Yeah. And I do just keep watching them in case there's a good one.
Scott: One day.
Did anyone ever find that, remember that guy who buried treasure somewhere out west, he died and left like a scavenger hunt for it, but nobody ever found his fucking gold.
Frank: I've only seen without a paddle once
no. Um, I don't, I don't think I know that one same. I've only seen it
Scott: once too. . But I remember enjoying it. Yeah. ,
that one though, but no, um, [:Scott: can't even remember. I shouldn't have brought it up cuz I don't remember all the details of it, but I remember some guy passed away and he left a treasure somewhere for people to find and uh, people were looking for it for a really long time, but I don't know if anyone ever found it.
Okay.
Frank: Who's the guy who jumped from the plane. What's DB Cooper. Oh, DB
Scott: Cooper. Yeah.
Frank: So I did watch something on that again this last week also. Oh really? Like something newer. Yeah. Yeah. And it's funny because
Scott: there was a documentary series about, or a documentary about it. Not in the last like year or so.
Yeah. There was one
Frank: that was sliced. The one that you told me about that
Scott: I did watch, you did watch that one. I did watch that one. There was cause did you feel like it was the cross. All the suspects are dead. That's the problem with,
Frank: yeah, that's the problem? You know, I felt kind of strongly about the little girl who said her uncle and, or was it two uncles, something like that.
Like they were gone, then they showed up. One of them was real beat up and they were
Scott: acting real secret. Oh, that was a good one too.
Frank: Yeah. I, I it's, I
landed and dressed up like a [:I'd really like to go back and I wonder how many people in drag there were walking around back then that nobody was, well, maybe back then. They didn't
Frank: even know what to look for. Yeah.
Scott: Wasn't on the radar yet. Yeah. Cuz I feel like, uh, the only reason it comes up as often as it does now is cuz we're so aware of it.
but back when like Jagar Hoover time when he Ted him for wearings and stuff like that. Yeah. I mean he was being a real Dick at the time with the McCarthy era.
Frank: Yeah. There was a lot of sketch going on. Super sketch, definitely super sketch. But the DB Cooper, when I was trying to tell Olympia. And I, I kept calling him DB Sweeney.
the fucking actor from like the eighties and nineties. He was in a lot of shit. Yeah. I was like, yeah, this guy, DB Sweeney, jumped out of a plane. And then I start picturing him from fire in the sky. like, I'm like it wasn't DB
, uh, twin peak sticks place [:Those are the leaps. My brain makes to remember that. Oh, I feel like Lynch named him that for that reason, for that reason, but I don't know. everybody let's meditate now
who goes to David Lynch's meditation retreats. Calm your mind. guided meditation by David Lynch. Oh fuck. no, no, no,
Frank: dude. I,
Scott: other than, uh XFiles though. Oh, we got to the movie watched the XFiles movie. Okay. Fucking holds up. So it's so good. The XFiles movie is. Great.
Frank: And is this the, the first
Scott: one? Yeah, but the season afterwards is where Vince Gilligan fully takes over.
hat was around the time tale [:It was called the naked truth. That's oh shit. Yeah, man. I remember weird shit about musty TV. Well, that was like the
Frank: first place where you saw
Scott: her though. Pretty much. Yeah, for sure. Well, the reason I remember is there was like a fucking jingle for that show that was like tat TA
Frank: No, no, no.
Scott: Um, yeah, it came on right before the single guy.
Frank: the single guy
Scott: with the guy from weekend at Bernie's dude. You never see that guy anymore. Is that Jonathan Silverman? Yes. Nice. Yeah. I was trying to think of his name. I couldn't do
Frank: it. Well, see there's uh, Jonathan
Scott: Silverman, hang on. You gotta drink some.
It'll never get old.
Frank: Well, and you know, because it was him and Andrew McCarthy. Was that the other weekend at Bernie's Andrew McCarthy. Yeah, I think it
Scott: was, yeah. And both the mannequin fucking Andrew McCarthy can make still cannot remember who play. Bernie. He was like a
Frank: random guy. If anything, I think he was in other movies as like a mob guy.
the same guy in both movies? [:that's like a hold up the same fucking and then, uh, I watched, uh, knock. On Amazon prime, not turn at the music school. Yes. That is fucking trippy. That was kind of nuts. A little long, special effects were a little not what I wanted, but it had how that, that evil feel. It had that feel to it. You know, what, what was weird was I was like, I'll watch that.
And then. Uh, Sydney Sweeney from euphoria in that. And then today I was looking for a movie and I was like, erotic, thriller. And so I watched fucking the voyers while I was working. Oh, on Amazon prime. And, uh, I haven't seen that yet. Yeah, she's in that too. She's in that too. I liked the voyers though. It's it's a little long.
Did you like it more than no turn? I liked it more than deep water, same kind of movie. I liked it a lot more though. The story was much more complex. Characters were more compelling. It just, did you
Did you get that feeling of [:Scott: during the voyers? Yeah, no, no, no.
Oh, during deep water. Yes. Yes. You know what I do, you know what I need? Like, I was like, something needs to fucking happen. Yeah. There's too much entry.
Frank: Just like, why the fuck is he okay with this? Like, I get what that, why he was, but I'm like, why is he still? And then I'm like, well, he is
Scott: not .
Frank: Yeah. Sorry.
Being very vague. But watch that one's it's
Scott: all right. But this one had what I wanted. It was erotic, extremely erotic. And, uh, it was well, it's called the voyers. Yeah. I mean, it's about people watching their neighbors. Fuck. Yeah. Uh, but. Straight up the kind of twisty Hitchcock stuff to it at the end. Oh. Was really.
I really liked it. Even the absurd parts of it. I was like, you earned it because it kept me watching. Yeah, you can do it. It's fine. I stopped wanting to pay attention to work and just watch the movie and it wasn't just cuz there was a bunch of titties. It was a good movie. It was a good story. Yeah. And uh, not everyone was great in it.
Other than her, I don't recognize anyone in it except for Mrs. Kim from Kim's convenience, who is her boss? And I love Kim's convenience.
Frank: I've watched a [:Scott: like that old guy. I love all the old people.
You would like the old guy, the fucking guy who plays there. Minister in the beginning of it, who's always stealing stuff from people. Like he steals this guy. He's like, oh, I like your hat. And he like puts it on his head and just leaves. I don't remember that. He's like their, the priest at their, uh, church.
And he just takes shit
Frank: yeah. Keeps stealing
Scott: stuff from the store and leaving. And they don't know how to tell him not to, but it's a really recognizable Asian actor. I wanna say he was, uh, he plays a lot of police detectives, but it was weird cuz she was in this and she didn't have an accent they're Canadian, but like, uh, yes,
Did you watch
Frank: anything else, dude? I mean, there were little things in there. Like I said, I watched a fucking treasure hunting show. That's where I was at the other day because my back pain started acting up. Cause I'm an old
ilogy of terror Uhhuh, which [:I think I've seen writer from, uh, Twilight zone, the guy who adapted a lot of those Richard Mathson and Harlan Nelson stories for the Twilight zone. But this was all with an old actress named Karen Black. And uh, she played a part in every one weirdly similar to Kat's eye. Oh. But uh, was James Woods and Kat's eye, sorry, James Woods was in quitter's Inc.
Okay. Which was the first Stephen King story I ever read. Yeah. I scared the fuck outta me. because I was like, what the fuck? Because they're like, we cut off your Wes little finger I was like, what the fuck? I think I was 10. You know , but I read that like that you gotta learn. Sometimes those were like some of the first few and king things I ever read.
And, uh, both of those first two are in there. The other one's the ledge, which has, uh, I forget the actor's name. He played the Baron har Conan from the original Doune movie.
Frank: I can't picture it in my face. And I almost watched that
Scott: recently, but it was also the guy from airplane, not Leslie Nielsen guy. The drinking problem was in creep show.
[:Like Christine hits the drew Berry. When is the
Frank: cat? That saves
Scott: her. Yeah. But the cat goes through all of '
Frank: em that's right. Cuz then there's the
Scott: mansion. Yeah. And weirdly there's like, uh, drew, Barrymore's calling to the cat. It helped me. And then the last one was the, the weird little elf in the wall. And that was what she, she told me this trilogy of terror thing, scared the shit out of her, cuz it's this lady buys this weird little African doll and it says like, don't break the chain or it'll come to life.
And the soul of a hunter is inside of it. And so this little ridiculous looking dull attacks, like just, but Karen Black fucking sold that shit, man. I, the dull looks so bad. I, I can say
Frank: with, you know, good amount of confidence, I've seen the cover
y. And it was before child's [:Child's play. Yeah. Mm. Yeah. This is like 60 seventies. I wanna say. Mm. It felt like things I watched when I was a kid that I really liked tales from the dark side kind of stuff. Like the TV show, not the movie. Yeah. But I'd almost like to do a series of, uh, where we just watch some anthologies. Creep show or creep show trick, or treat tales from the hood tails from the hood cat side is great.
Um, no, there tales from the dark side really fucked me up when I was tales from the dark
Frank: side. Yeah. I'd like to rewatch that. I'm try. The only one I can think of is the Steve Bohemi Christian Slater with the gargoyle. Yeah. Whatever's the crate. Wait, wasn't that? The crate?
Scott: I think Steve Bohemi is the crate Christian Slater is the Gargo
Frank: or the mummy?
No. Is the crate the mummy. See, we, we would need to, yeah, fuck it. We need refreshers. Yeah, but that's, there's so many
Scott: startled me that time. I didn't turn the volume down on it. That was mostly what I watched. I would recommend. I liked no turn. I'm glad you seen it too. Yeah, I
Frank: had to, it kept popping up man.
And
lways into something vaguely [:Frank: ballets, the way that I, any movie that looks clean right now, like, did you see just how crisp it was?
Oh, looked, looked really good. You know, it was, it was on the darker side, you know, they, you know, lots of blues and grays, but it's fine. Um,
Scott: and I was kinda like, why is this girl other than her having big boobs and being 24 years old? Like, I couldn't figure out why she was in a lot of things. She's not the most prominent character necessarily, or fleshed out character in.
She's got the look of innocence, man choosing stuff. That is cool. At
Frank: least. No, no, I think she does great. And that movie it, but
Scott: I'd be interested in what you thought of the voyers maybe, maybe put that in the back. I'll check it out. I'll check
Frank: it out. But yeah, that one, it was just the right amount of dark to me.
Yeah. You know, cuz it wasn't trying to be this horror movie, but there was definitely
where it goes. Is it follows [:I had just watched stranger things and I was like, that's Steve, Steve, because this week we watched spree, I watched it and then it was immediately like, I have to make Frank watch this. So this,
Frank: yeah. And you know, not that in real life, I would ever do anything crazy. but there's certain movies like this, that flip a switch in me where I get excited.
like, I don't agree with what he is doing. This
Scott: was really funny
Frank: too. Yeah. He fucking, everybody hits that breaking point. Huh?
Scott: I guess, I don't know. This was a, this is a fascinating thing that I couldn't fully relate to. And I, I liked seeing somebody like make this a horror movie,
Frank: follow me at squiz world.
did she loved what
Scott: she put squiz world? I, I, I really liked this movie and you know, that's not like we were trying this movie out. Sometimes I feel like we should scope some of these out to try to not get another witches in the woods. Even though that was a fun conversation to have,
Frank: it was a solid chain.
Won't won't be broken
at's just one of those, just [:Frank: the people might even know what a chain feels like. ,
Scott: we're gonna be like 75 years old and you're gonna be like, you know, when they had hood ornaments on cars, people thought that they could break chains with them, but they can't
Frank: hood ornament of cars, breaker of chains.
Can you make a
Scott: movie?
give me a summary, Frank.
Frank: Uh, yeah. Fucking, what does it take to be a continuity
Scott: guy? A continuity guy. Yeah. Like the person who checks
Frank: makes sure that fucking hood ornaments don't break chains, who can just, and make sure that everybody's wearing the same clothes as the
Scott: last scene. I, I think there has to be an onset person and then the rest is the editor.
Well, and then
Frank: the thing is it's like, then you're that person running around taking pictures of everybody in their costume. Like
Scott: everybody in their outfit, they get a PA to do that or something, you know? Yeah, for sure. Yeah. It's it's always, you wanna do it? You would take it very seriously. Oh yeah. I'd
Frank: be like, no, I tell, turn to
Scott: the left.
cene as he wasn't the last . [:Frank: crazy laugh. No, um,
I just wanna see lots of shaking right now.
Scott: No, I love Bruce Campbell's
Frank: left. So this is spree. Scott's like, dude, we saw this watched
Scott: it. You get what I was saying though? Yeah. Like as soon as I watched it, I was like, this is a Frank movie. Yeah. I
Frank: mean, uh, is it found footage?
Scott: It is now, what else could you do with found footage now?
It would be unbelievable to be like, we found all these high eight tapes
Frank: yeah. If it's and so now I guess, yes. You know, as we progress in society, found footage includes the cloud
Scott: online and these people live on the internet. Yeah. The duality of the human race with who you are on the internet and who you are in real life is just mind blowing to me.
Frank: Yeah. And not like this has anything to do with, um, oh my God. Why am I drawing a blank there? Uh, assassination nation, no, back up Joel
Scott: Murray. [:Frank: America. God bless America. How can I not fucking remember that? It was just fucking independence day too. It was right on the tip of my fucking tongue.
I could not get it outta my mouth. That's what she said. Yeah.
Scott: Um, and that's another thing. If, if you, uh, are triggered easily, maybe you won't like this movie, but also like it's to talk about stuff like that or to be overly sensitive when will be a good time. Yeah. Never
Frank: I'm through with the fucking oversensitivity.
I'm liberal as fucked, but like the oversensitivity is starting to fucking kill me. Yeah.
Scott: Either regulate. The crazy boner, having white guys fucking guns, or like , you know, or buy them all hookers or something. What the fuck? Yeah.
Frank: I mean, but yeah, there's no, like we can all be nice and love each other without being overly fucking
Scott: sensitive.
Yeah. But you gotta, I'm just saying the only way to deal with all the darkness. This is the laugh about it a little bit. And I think this movie did it.
Frank: Yeah. Which spree does, you know, this movie? Rideshare driver, Kurt conk, conk otherwise, uh, you know, you might know him from Kurt's world 90. At Kurt's world 96, um, hashtag
Scott: the [:Frank: hashtag the lesson.
Yeah. Good one. Um, hashtag WTF UNO anyway, sorry, we'll go there. um, played by Joe Cury of stranger things. Steve, you know, love the hair desperately posting to social media obscurity for a decade, trying to get famous. I mean, this dude's posting like everything and you can tell, you know, probably started a little younger.
Scott: It felt really genuine too. If you go into watching some of those, like nobody's watching these people,
Frank: they did a really good job of these cl yeah, it was it's in line with real life in a way, you know, his only friend that you see in the movie is a kid he used to babysit. Who's now online, famous Bobby base camp.
He's famous for pranking, homeless people and stealing people's. It's like the dumb shit that people get internet famous
Scott: for. Oh, I wanted to punch that. Kid's so bad.
Frank: It's depend of like the little shit who's making a ton of money right now. Kurt resurfaces online announcing he'll be starting what? He hashtags the lesson.
he is hashtag the lesson. He [:This was definitely premeditated. I guess if you read a description of the movie or saw the cover, I mean, you know, what's coming at this point, you're like, fuck, Kurt's gonna try and get some views. Will
Scott: that return video in the beginning of it where he's like, Hey guys, after like he'd stopped for years.
Oh. And then he is on
Frank: like the side of the road. Yeah. He
Scott: looks really
Frank: frustrated. Oh, that one? Yes. Okay. Okay. Okay. The whole time he's streaming, he's posting how to videos about building an audience in his mind. He knows what he needs to do to get followers , but he's not getting followers. And that's one of those things.
That's just kind of putting it in your face. Like this guy doesn't get it. He picks up an Instagram famous standout comedian. Jesse played by real life. Standout. Sasha. AADA she's awesome. And she just has a glow about her fit in very well with the character in the movie. I thought, uh, she almost drinks the tainted water, but leaves the rider to escape the advances of doey alpha male carpool, passenger.
God, that guy
Scott: was so douchey.
s already a passenger in the [:Bobby. Basecamp's the only viewer of this whole streaming session that Kurt has set up. Kurt becomes frustrated by her success as well as Bobby's heckles. Cuz Bobby's just fucking with him the whole time during the stream, you know that Bobby doesn't give a fuck about Kurt and it sucks cuz that's like, Kurt's only friend and it's his fucking kid.
He used to babysit. Who's now a
douche
Scott: bag. The worst was, do you remember we trying to give his dad that hat? Yeah. And he like, wouldn't put it on. Yeah. And the dad, he takes another hat off and then won't put his hat on. Yeah. And he is like, eh,
Frank: fucking up my DJ game. I'm gonna set tonight. At the club so Bobby's heck will start to build up.
by having to give his junky [:Scott: It was nice to see David Arquette. It was outside of a video game. Oh yeah. He's in the quarry. Isn't he? David Arquettes in the quarry. Can't wait to play the quarry here. Good things. Not gonna pay $70 for the qu. Yeah, I'm gonna wait until that one gets a little bit cheaper. Yeah. 10 hour game.
Frank: And you're big on the story game.
So I'm not that big of it, but it
Scott: looks like a great one. I loved it. Did you play until Don? No. Oh, it's fucking great. No, anyway, if you're into horror movies until Don is the shit.
Frank: Yeah. The, the video games that involve stories. I don't have the attention span time right now to
Scott: really enjoy the way I show that's.
The thing is when, until Don came out 10 hours long, it may, may have been eight. I red boxed it finished in two days. Yeah, that's the way to go. not paying $70 for quarry continue.
Frank: yes. Um, he decides to give his dad a ride to the strip club, cuz he finds out DJ UNO is gonna be there. And his dad's like, Hey, I'll get DJ UNO to give you a
Scott: shout out.
Even though he has no idea who DJ
Frank: UNOS. No, he just hears this from his dad and then like, oh she's got followers. He's like, oh followers li ball. Yeah. Well all
that kids' followers are all [:Frank: Yeah. While killing Bobby base camp, egg Don by his new audience.
Uh, he gives sex tape, famous Japanese DJ UNO, a ride to a taco stand. I think she was Korean. She might have been Korean Korean. Korean DJ UNO. I mean, Japanese DJ UNO. She, I don't think she was in LA that night.
Scott: oh, fucking would you? Ah, no.
Frank: Um, , there's a run in with the police. Kurt has a fucking flip out on his dad in the club, cuz he's like this isn't a fucking club.
This is strip club, but DJ Uno's there, but she doesn't wanna give him the time of day. After running with the police, uh, resulting in the death of an officer, the spree app shuts down, everybody's catching on people are actually seeing it spree at this point in the story they're they get wind of it and they're shutting it down.
So Curtis chase to a climax starting at Jesse's comedy show where he was planning some shit, um, this ends at Kurt's house. And when we get to talking about the big finale will warn you in case we've convinced you to watch this movie. So we'll give you a little bit of a heads up. SP was written. My mouth is dry
Scott: already.
[:Frank: no. Spree was written with gene McCue by director Eugene Ko, Loco who along with Kiri watched hundreds of hours of bad and unwatched live streams by internet fame, hopefuls. So it sounds like they did the research.
Scott: Yeah. That's gotta be hard to watch it when we get to the negative reviews about it more than one negative reviewer brought up how you should just watch eighth grade, no eighth grade.
Was really boring. what the fuck was eighth grade? It was Bo Burnham's movie about like a 13 year old girl. And it was very right on. I never saw it, but it was one of those things. Like I fucking hated lady bird. God, it was boring.
Frank: Yeah. Lady bird. Didn't get me. I, you know that one back, uh, years ago, 13 Evan, Rachel Wood.
That one got, I liked that one. I feel like that one was a little more intense. A little more real.
Scott: Holly hunter. Really good. Throw Holly hunter in there. Yeah. Good mom at the time. I'm Barron.
Frank: sorry. I love
Scott: raising Arizona. I fucking love Holly hunter.
where she was kind of cuckoo [:I mean, yeah, she is a little bit there. I feel. Oh, what's the one, the big white with Robin Williams. Wasn't she like the
Scott: crazy ass wife? Oh fuck. Yeah. I forgot about that movie completely. That's where she was. K. I always think of I'm
Frank: sorry. It took me
Scott: raising Arizona in always, always Richard drives dies.
Holly Hunter's husband or boyfriend or something like that. And he comes back. He's like a ghost. Oh, that
Frank: one's eighties, John Goodman's in it. I wanna say. Yeah, that's a, that's an eighties
Scott: movie. Isn't it? Yeah. Is good. It's a good flick. No, no, I
Frank: haven't seen that one since I was a child.
Scott: Same, I think. And no, I may watch that when I was at the video store and the big
Frank: white was something I rented from blockbuster.
At one point in life, I rented that from a video store to watch it the first time
Scott: I feel like at some point, everything we watched was from a video
Frank: store. dude, I had HBO.
Scott: I, I did not just CBS for the first 10 years of my existence. Do you remember? My mom had
Frank: that one boyfriend who knew how to change the things
Scott: in the oh yeah, yeah.
That's that's it was, I always wanted to know somebody like that,
fucking things in the cable [:Scott: like whips. We had the roof antenna. Oh
Frank: yeah.
No, my mom dated this guy who was an engineer and he had these things, they looked like whips.
Scott: I remember when you came over to my house at some point, and you were like, how are you getting UPN so clear? And I was like, we have a roof antenna. And you were like, who has a roof? Antennae? We brought it with us from West Virginia, took it off our fucking house.
And I was like, if they don't have a roof antennae and then I had like better signal than everybody else. And they were like, what the fuck, man?
Frank: Yeah. I was like, man, it was the weirdest damn thing. Yeah. I didn't get that channel.
Scott: That clear that's for sure of our neighbors were looking at me. Like I was nuts when I was putting that on the roof.
his isn't the country in like:Frank: that. But yeah, this movie fucking crazy. It was one of those. If you read the description or saw the cover, you knew where it was gonna go. You knew the direction it was gonna head, but it was put together nicely for what it was. It was deeply.
demands of social media and [:Scott: anyone else had played this dude, Kurt, other than, uh, Joe Kerry, this movie would not have
Frank: been as great. Well, and I don't know if it was his natural posture, but when they did like the profile shot of him driving in the driver's seat, did you just notice like the slight hunch in the back?
Just the, I loved it when they would show that side shot. I felt like I was feeling the character like
Scott: where he was at. He did that really God, in the shower when he get, he has the blood all over after he kills Bobby. He's so excited. Yeah. And he is like, we did it guys. And it was so sincere that covered in blood.
We've been following the bad guy for a whole movie, which you can't always do. Well, you know, you really have to, to get some me to relate to someone cuz I kept think. I love reading about horrible, horrible things. Mm-hmm . So I immediately went to, I can't remember his name. I should have looked it up, uh, that in cell, in California, that killed, he killed like four PE four women.
I feel like that was part of the, the Genesis of this idea was that guy that was like one of the first big, but instead of sex, it was a
Frank: social media. It [:Scott: thing. This was a purely, like, you felt bad for the way this kid came up. You know, his dad was a Dick. He wouldn't put his fucking hat on, you know, , his mom was like, uh, just kind of in the background.
Frank: At that one point in the movie, when he called his dad a fucking loser, did he call his mom like a starfucker or something? He
Scott: called his mom a starfucker to Miesha Barton, who was almost unrecognizable. I hadn't seen her in so long that I was like, oh, Kelly pointed it out. That it was Miesha Barton. That was MHA Barton in the front seat.
In the front seat. When the two were doing cocaine in the back seat.
Frank: Yeah. I CA I had a name for that little squad. What was it? I like, I wrote down a note for like what I fucking for the, the squad name. Yeah.
Scott: But that was Miesha Barton in the front seat. No shit. Yeah. Yeah.
Frank: Was MHA Barton. The one from the OC?
Scott: Yeah. She's just not like real skinny and
Frank: that's awesome. I think she looked really good. Fucking twig. Yeah. She looked good, but definitely older than him.
Scott: She was thirsty for that. It was weird for that Kurt. I had no fucking Kurt world
. [:world
Scott: squirts world, she calls him that every time she sees them
Frank: oh, I called him the three Insta bots.
Scott: Yeah. Call. I have three. I'm very likable though. All those, like, I would be like, I didn't hang out with
Frank: those people. Yeah, no, I mean that one dude was fabulous as fuck doing key bumps in the back seat. You know what I mean? He was ready to party. Uh, so was his little counterpart and then hung on the front seat.
They were down to do some crazy shit. They weren't super
Scott: annoying either. No. I mean, what was interesting was that first guy he kills in the very beginning of the movie, the white supremacist, he was like a like alt-right Dick. Yeah. Who was like, trying to get him like, say it, say you're proud, you know, and entering on that note made it easier to like yeah.
What Kurt was doing. And then the next lady doesn't deserve it at. The real estate agent, the real estate agent, other than letting balloons go and being dismissive yeah. Um, she didn't do anything. She just immediately drinks the water and passes out in the seat.
hnically guys. That's litter [:Scott: so they sold that one a little bit.
And then next guy is douche bag with the, the super deep V and the
Frank: feather. Yeah, the bro. Who's just looking to fuck who's on his way to a bar to meet a Tinder date.
Scott: Yeah. I'll tell you, man. Overly manicured beard. Watch the fuck out. Yeah.
Frank: Very. And didn't he have a chain?
Scott: I think he, he had a chain with like a metal feather on it at deep V and then like a longer chain.
And you could see
Frank: him. Yeah, I could smell that guy coming, watching him on the screen.
Scott: I read some stuff about this movie and apparently that guy like went and got like three spray tan before he did this part. Oh, awesome. For the part. Nice. So you gotta, you gotta, no, that's fine. He nailed that character.
Yeah.
Frank: He had a good, so yeah, the first passenger was the alt-right white supremacist piece of shit. So you didn't feel bad for that
Scott: guy at all? Yeah, but it was a good entry point for it because you were like, wow, fuck this guy. Yeah, you. And, uh, that guy had it coming mm-hmm and well, I mean, he didn't have it coming, but he and I
Frank: can appreciate it.
dn't show he didn't feel bad [:Scott: One down. Yeah. Same with the real estate agent. You don't know what he is doing with him.
Yeah. I assume it had something to do with that dump. His family used to own or whatever.
Frank: yeah. I was almost expecting to have him all lined up at the mom's house in some fun
Scott: game. At the end, the director was really careful not to make you hate him. Mm-hmm he was very careful with the sincerity of it. So, okay.
Frank: Before he even starts on the lesson,
Scott: you knew he killed the mom, right? I knew he killed the mom. The second watch. You didn't get it the first time. No, I didn't really, there was, did you notice there was such a barrage in the beginning of that movie of like, you know, all these clips of him, like doing the stuff and, you know, posting these videos before and then like they had all those little aside.
m I am. I like watching them [:In the bottom corner, I did catch the for sale sign the first, because he had mentioned that he was going through some stuff time. I noticed that when he gets to Bobby's house, he tells him he has seven kills. He only got six mm-hmm . I was like, that's a continuity error. And then I was like, oh, fuck the other one's his mom that, oh, okay.
and I was like, that's good attention to detail right there. Yeah. Really good.
Frank: So I didn't even notice that he said seven when he got to Bobby's. Yeah, he was
Scott: like, I mean, I got seven. Well, see, and that's what he had said earlier that six was the most a ride share driver had ever gotten. And when he was talking about that, I knew exactly.
He was talking about John Dalton real life. That was the guy who said that his Uber app was speaking to him. Oh, to him? Yes. And he's killed. Four old ladies, like all of 'em over 60. Was that on a documentary? Like, uh, uh, I just remember it being in the news.
Frank: I watched it on a documentary. That's fucking crazy.
Yeah, because there was one, it was like this group of like older ladies and like one granddaughter outside of a restaurant or something like that, wasn't
h. I think the granddaughter [:Uber could have stopped some of that. Mm-hmm , you know, they could have tracked that guy down faster, but I don't know. I don't know anything about. Yeah. Sometimes
Frank: there's not
Scott: enough oversight software engineer could probably explain better to me how they could have figured it out faster. What was weird was I wanted to find, I was like, more stuff should have inspired this.
I did look it up and they did, he did get the idea when he was reading about John Dalton. Oh. And he was like, oh, that's fucked up. But what if it was this kid who wanted to be, you know, and he wanted to pull all of what's into this, into the movie. And I thought that was really. And being who I, cause that was in Kalamazoo, I think in Michigan, man,
Frank: just don't listen to the voices.
Yeah. like update the app. get rid of the voices. Fix the glitch, dude, version 3.1 0.0 7.4
ike awkward guy. Yeah. Thing [:Frank: No, he was good. And I play and I think he played it so well. And I just that scene just anytime it showed him from the side, just his posture on that steering wheel, I felt him. And normally I don't say that unless
Scott: somebody's drugged me. Yeah. But be perfectly clear. We're following the villain of this movie.
Yeah. As bad as they made you feel for him. But that's a good villain, man. Yeah. You gotta feel a little bit. You gotta humanize him a little bit. Oh. He had this
Frank: fucked up life. The parents divorced. I feel like he blamed the dad more than the mom, but the mom obviously wasn't.
Scott: He definitely killed mom first.
Yeah. And didn't seem concerned about popping dad off when he picked him up or anything like that. He just seemed to find dad as an annoyance. Yes. That's a thing with dudes though. We, no matter how much we hate our dads, we wanted to be proud of us. Yeah. because me and you, not the greatest male role models when we're growing up.
No.
Frank: And, and Kurt Kurt's dad was no. And David Arquette.
Scott: [:Yeah. I, I, I love that. Like the bees. Did you ever see the be. I never saw the bees. Me and my grandfather watched the bees. That was the first time I witnessed an adult, just mystery science, theater, a movie all the way through it was my grandfather running from the bees.
I think I was like sick, but yeah, I read that the director and him did all those. Allnighters watching all those dreamers studying up because mainly nailed that shit. Also I, and I thought about it in the middle of the movie was, I was like, God, how long did it take to write all these comments? Like all the clash clashing up on the screen.
I thought about that when the, in the, uh, John chow did a movie where like his daughter's missing, it was another kind of like found I saw that it was good. Um, cuz that
was the guy from like Harold [:Scott: Oh, Jon Cho. He directed that he's in it. no, I thought you said he directed it.
Oh no, no, no. He's just in it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, he did that movie. All right. Uh, and that found footage, movie tactically at this point. Yeah. He turned into an internet sleuth. Yeah. I can think of other killers that were sort of like that. Do you remember in Canada, there was the guy who was, he's trying to make a star wars fan movie.
And he was, but he was like really into Dexter and they called him the Dexter killer, but this guy was like picking. He was catfishing dudes as a woman to a garage. I think he killed two people Dexter in them. Oh God. But like they didn't do anything wrong. They were just, yeah. Yeah. They were just dudes on a, it was on plane.
e in the backseat during the [:Frank: at him.
See, and I would never make fun of somebody like that because I mean, if
Scott: he's a piece of shit that killed two people. For no fucking reason other than he was really a Dexter, for sure. Make fun of him. Like, I'm all about making I'm I'm talking about serial killers.
Frank: I'm saying to make fun of him to his face.
Oh yeah. He's gonna remember you. Yeah. And what if he
Scott: gets out one day? Well, that's one of those things when like women were like, yeah, and I laughed at this, guy's really small Dick. And I'm like, that's how you make rapist.
Frank: like, don't fucking do that. I mean, Jesus. Yeah.
Scott: Like just keep that shit to yourself.
Fire got fed somewhere down the line. yeah, the same happened with this character. You go back far enough. It's not necessarily this dude's fault. Mm-hmm cause if you go back far enough in any killer's. Somebody fucked that person up really bad. But after they do all that shit, time to make fun of them yeah.
Frank: I just wouldn't do it to their face,
Scott: man. Cause they're terrible. Even like BTK fucking piece of shit. I'd up on
Frank: the lipstick list. If you know what I'm saying.
Scott: Yeah. Yeah. There you go. I did the Steve boing.
tick list. I'm not afraid to [:I mean, I'm normally not the instigator, but I will
Scott: retaliate glad I caught that guy.
Frank: but the thing is be aware of your surroundings. If you watch enough movies like this, I mean, I'm just saying like no one to overreact
Scott: I, I, I really like that. All the people in the, like on the comment section mm-hmm, just don't believe that it's happening.
Even Bobby is like
Frank: bullshit. Yeah. Well, and that's, you know, the fucking internet trolls of today. Yeah. I mean, that's the shit they don't even fucking know, but it was fucking hilarious. And like you're saying the time that they took to throw up all those responses. Every comment that was popping up on every stream through that whole movie.
Yeah. And at the climactic moments where they're fucking flying, they really had to come up with some shit that was all over, but it was, you read a lot of them,
Scott: right. That, so the thing was, I was reading it and I was like, God, I have to find out how long it took this guy to do this. So it took him 40 all nighters to write all the comments for this movie as the shit's going down, the stuff going through the stream.
Frank: Damn [:Scott: well. And that's so like he not only wrote a movie. Which is a feat in and of itself. Anybody who writes anything, if you wrote a whole thing, even if it's not good, it's a fucking accomplishment. It's fucking amazing. Yeah. This dude wrote a good movie and then he wrote 40 days worth of comments. Like all night had kept the continuity all straight through the whole thing.
It all had to do with each scene. It was really like happening as it was coming through. I don't know how he did that, so, well,
Frank: no, I'm, I'm glad you looked it up because it really was hitting me as I watched. It's just like, wow, that's really good. Roughly some of these 40 Allnighters. Well, and it was awesome because every now and then, I mean, as crazy as I can be, I am, I do consider myself a reasonable person.
And it was great when you'd see the reasonable comments in the, in the, in the stream. Yeah. Cause every now
Scott: and then a lot of time, if I reasonable comments. Yeah. A lot of the time, if I do read the comments on something, I'm looking for that voice of reason who and then watch them get immediately attacked.
kind of what this movie was [:Frank: have those followers. Gotta have those views.
Scott: Yeah. And it's the parents did it and stuff like that. Like, God, I I'm, I probably am not gonna have children in my life, but I do not envy you, sir, because I don't even know how you'd go about navigating that water.
That's a, when we were in middle
Frank: school, people were just getting
Scott: NOK. Oh, yeah. And I think, uh, I think the only reason I know as much about social media as I do, I mean, I do it for work now, but because my space was so prevalent when I was in a band, Tom. Yeah, Tom
Frank: no, the world that we live in today, it's I, I don't even know what direction I it's only gonna
Scott: get worse.
Right. And, and when he picks up Jessie, she's very reasonable. And,
Frank: but at first I was so proud of where that character was gonna go. If just, she felt, nah, this is fucked up. Fuck that dude, you look weird. And
essie is from a storytelling [:So we're following the villain around feeling bad for him and going on this weird emotional journey with him. You're not really sure what you're rooting for other than you're just kidding. I didn't know what I was like. I mean, I watched this movie to see. This kind of rooting for him, but then there were those moments, like when he was taking the shower and he had blood all over him, he's like, you guys , we did it.
Frank: We did it and love the trolls in there. What are you gay, bro? What? The shower? Because he is in the shower and it's like, all these fucks on the,
Scott: the attention to detail with the comments was
Frank: crazy. It really was. And that's cool that you found it. That's fuck, man. So over a month,
Scott: 40 days of all nighters writing comments, and I wonder if he had made the movie and then had to put 'em in.
And so he, you know, cause I'm sure like the big ones that influenced the story were
well into research comments, [:Scott: far. Oh no. , I'm sure he didn't do any research for it.
Frank: He fucking just picked something and, but
Scott: they did all seem like different voices and stuff like that.
And some of 'em were just like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. You know? Yeah,
Frank: yeah, yeah. Or it's funny, the people who would. and then like have her request.
Scott: like, yeah, they were like fuller
Frank: what was it, Mary? Fuck. Kill.
Scott: Let's go ahead and get into the, the last clip, cuz we're about to. Oh, okay. Yeah. So we're getting to get into spoiler territory now.
So from, from then on like when UNO like wakes up in the car and shoots that fucking cop also, she's not poisoned. No, that's what was the shit that he was drugging
Frank: people with. I wanna know what he was drugging him with. And then, so she didn't drink the whole bottle, but I don't think alt-right guy did either.
But then I was like, well, she's this influencer DJ. Maybe it's maybe she has something in her system that offset it.
Scott: Maybe she's just taken a lot of fucking Molly and yeah, that's what I'm saying. And that just wasn't enough to get her knocked her out for it, you know,
minutes or [:Scott: that fucking bottle out of the car.
that shit was
Frank: the way he throws it
Scott: out. Yeah. He, before that he was standing in front of a cop after he ran over the Jewish bag, blood all over his car and he is not concerned about.
Frank: Yeah, he's more pissed off that Bobby's telling him he
Scott: doesn't have viewers. And the cop was so concerned with looking at his phone.
Mm-hmm
Frank: that? He's not even noticing there's this fucking frazzled, you know, younger guy next to him with fucking blood smeared on the windshield.
Scott: Yeah, the fuck. When
Frank: UNO wakes up, the reason when she first put the gun in her purse, do you think she was feeling sketchy about it, the situation, or do you think she just wanted to be like hard?
Like she was trying to act bad.
Scott: She just looked very like, I'm gonna keep this. Yeah. You know, flip it about it. I, yeah,
Frank: that one I'm real loose on whatever the interpretation is there. She puts the fucking gun in her purse that Bobby, that he had taken from Bobby throws the water bottle. Like you were saying, not
Scott: the smartest move.
riday nights, man. should we [:Frank: LA fucking it's like, no, just eat your fucking trailer. You know, your meal and get the fuck outta there.
Scott: Well, in this case, the cops were right on the ball.
Yeah. They really check that dude out.
Frank: But then fucking Uno's the one who caps the cop.
Scott: Well, she just fucking wakes up and she wakes up, sees the cop and fucking shoots him. oh, and then what do you do with UNO after that? You know,
Frank: that was a real burn after reading George Clooney and Brad Pitt in the closet
Scott: moment.
Yes, it was, it very much was that's that's a good way to describe it. It was just
Frank: very sudden. And you're like, UNO just shot the fucking cop. Well, the heat's
Scott: off Kurt. Yeah. But then when, like, after that there's the, the police chase and everything.
Frank: I didn't didn't think there was gonna be an actual police chase.
Yeah. And he, but then full on police,
Scott: chase. Yeah. And he
Frank: got away. He got away, but then he fucking let the fucking little devil in the ear speak up and he starts fucking plowing through the home. He was do
Scott: that. Like I, and that's when you start to kind of feel like this dude, isn't such a good dude.
Frank: Yeah, no, cuz he's, he's like I can do anything.
What is he like how invincible, most people don't care
Scott: about [:Frank: hacks fucking check out before you try any life hack you see online, just dig a little deeper.
Scott: If you're gonna like look up a guy who's, I'm gonna show you how to trim your beard. And he's like 22 years old, maybe, uh, don't follow that guy's advice
Frank: unless his fucking hair looks fabulous. And then maybe go for.
Scott: Nobody's hair is the same, man.
Frank: I don't know. The internet teaches me how to tie my tie every
Scott: time I need it.
That's true. I could teach you to how to tie your shoes in a way that will blow your mind.
Frank: well, no funny story. Apparently I do it wrong. Several people are like, who the fuck taught you? How to
Scott: tie your shoes? How do you do the like flip, flip, and then just like, no, I don't. Oh, I, I do something really weird.
Frank: We'll have to [:Scott: What a good time
but then I like, because the app had shut down, he gets a go-go the other
Frank: app. He uses another ride share app. Well, wait. After
Scott: the comedy club though, clearly got his gun and walked to the comedy club or something like that. Yeah. He wrecks the
Frank: fucking car, but he's still going to Jesse's comedy
Scott: show. Then as he starts to become jealous, you
Frank: can see the evil coming.
Yeah. And he's like, no, wait, I can de I can get Jesse and that'll help my co
Scott: you know. Yeah. And that was a way of it'll help the cause. Yeah. And the things he was watching, where he was like, so inconsistent and stuff, , it's like, yeah, he's trying to fucking proposed. You don't know what you're fucking doing, man.
doing this with you, I would [:other than if you're, if you like doing it, you should do it. And try to try to make that your thing, like you're fucking expert on something to somebody who is just killing it out there.
Frank: And, and throughout this whole movie, Kurt is just missing the fucking mark. It's just something that he doesn't have the flare for.
And at that point, if you haven't even gotten lucky, if you're trying that hard to go viral and you haven't gotten one slipped in there outta years,
Scott: to be fair though, way less charismatic and piece of shit, people are way successful at doing shit like that. Well, I mean, but can you, Bobby contributed fucking Bobby base camp.
Frank: Yeah. I mean, one of the first internet things that I saw back in the day was, uh, bum. You remember that? Yeah, that was awful. That was real life though.
Scott: Like, so, I mean, you know, like bum fights, is that what you're talking about? Bum fights that, oh my bad
Frank: Jesus Christ up. Yeah. Bum fights. Yeah. What did I just call it?
Well,
was fucked up and it made me [:Frank: you think about the fucking social media videos of people? Okay.
Random acts of kindness that aren't so random and. Videoing the whole thing and posting it is that
Scott: really virtue signaling on like that kind of level is really weird to me. Virtues
Frank: is that sounds good. That's like really fucking official. Is
Scott: that what that that's the term for it? yeah. That's the, why have I never heard that before?
Well, that's like, when you're you're like, oh look, I just gave this guy a dollar and you like post a thing on the internet. You, you got your fucking camera look and you're like, Hey, look at what I, it's something a lot of white women do. Yeah. You know,
Frank: or guys who want like 500 K views. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, are you really, you know, committing that selfless act.
If you're sitting there fucking holding
es, but I, that felt like an [:And, uh, not a lot of people found 'em and then the, the app went away and, but look, I know a lot of people who loved them I know it's really weird too. Cause it was just like something I was doing for me and like I had a lot of people watching 'em oh, I thought they were amazing, but yeah, every now and then like it's usually people who know you or so like, I'll go to a party at your house or something and be like, why don't you make those stuff like that on Instagram or
Frank: something?
Didn't you even get fucking, even Emory
Scott: to respond that one time. And Emory did think that one of 'em was great. my H him too. yeah. What a good guy love that guy. I do love Ethan. I embryo with the
Frank: hair sometimes wear shirt. Kelly
Scott: was watching. Was it Gracie and Frankie. Oh, Grayson Frankie. Lily Tomlin one.
Yeah. Yeah. I always say the name wrong. She gets mad at me. I love Lily Tomlin. Is it Grayson? Frankie? Yeah. It's Grayson Frankie. Grayson. Frankie. Yeah.
Frank: Gracie and Frank .
tt: That would be your show, [:Frank: the last thing I saw him in was he was in walking dead for a hot second.
He was in there for couple. I remember
Scott: seeing I, I need, I'm gonna go back and watch walk. I was like,
Frank: God, damnit. He's so much healthier than
Scott: me. I stopped around, uh, the time they like locked ne up like the post full on ne season. Yeah, we got just
Frank: through the whispers.
Scott: Yeah. And then I stopped watching it.
Oh, we didn't even get
Frank: through the whispers.
Scott: Sorry. But now that it's done, uh, I'm gonna
Frank: finish it is that last, the last season is not on Netflix yet.
Scott: It was the same thing with the, the reason I stopped watching that was the same reason I stopped reading. The comic book was. It was what you said about umbrella academy.
Where's it fucking end? Yeah. When is it gonna fucking end? We were diehard fans. Like, are they gonna cure the zombies?
Frank: No, we were diehard fans. We even went to that, the Walker stalker con
Scott: in Portland. But man, I stopped reading that comic book cause I was like, fucking, you can't finish the story Kirkman.
Frank: It was great.
n't need to, to be a fucking [:Scott: out there. That things don't need sequels all the time. They don't need whole, no, for,
Frank: with walking dead, there was fear of the walking dead. Then there's this new one with like the fucking adolescence, PREA, whatever the fuck, the younger people.
And then what there's. So what happened to the three Andrew Lincoln movies? Yeah. Is that just not
Scott: a fucking thing? It's outta control and I don't like that. They call the MCU the MCU because that's where commissioner Gordon works.
it's one of the most nerdy things I've ever said. and
Frank: fucking Harvey dent was a black man.
Scott: Harvey dent was Lando, Cal Rian.
Frank: no, I used to game with somebody really no, I used to game with somebody who fucking hated so much that, you know, when it went back to you, they were like, Harvey, D's a fucking black man.
And I was like, no, man, like, I feel you like, but no, like not to them. I'm so
of these bad reviews before [:Frank: way, did you like the
Scott: movie? I loved this fucking movie.
I was down. I was down for the same reasons. I liked assassination nation, same kind of thing. A little more fun again, I'm not
Frank: promoting this violence, but from a fictional stand. It fucking made me excited. I was like, this is fucking
Scott: awesome. Well, he looked like he was having fun doing it.
Frank: And I mean, just the gory scenes, what I called the, the three Insta bots, dude, he pins 'em in a sunroof and sits the junkyard dogs on 'em while they're
Scott: pinned.
What was weird about this was I, I thought while somebody goes on a like snaps and goes on a killing spray mm-hmm they lose all their abandoned, you know, like they're just like, fuck it all. But this guy cares a lot. And I thought that was really interesting. He doesn't wanna let go. And then when he goes to the, the comedy show and she, she fucking is like, I was like, fuck this dude.
ted in this desperation. And [:Frank: so wait. Were we gonna jump back to the very
Scott: end?
Oh. When she fucking starts chasing him around in that car, was so funny. And then she was like, just drive away. What was that
Frank: last one? Like do a selfie with
Scott: him, but panic. Oh, that was really funny. I
Frank: fucking loved it cuz she looks and
Scott: she's like, okay. Yeah. Cuz that's when you find out, like he killed his mom in the beginning mm-hmm and they even did the clip back to it.
And the first time I didn't catch that. Oh fuck. He killed his mom. When I saw the mom on the floor, I was like, oh fuck. She hit his mom. Oh. When she went through the fucking house. And then I was like, wait, that lady's looked, she's just dead a while
Frank: mind all the way back to the beginning. When he comes outta the house, he's outta breath.
And he throws the necklace over the mirror at immediately after he kills her at the beginning. Oh, did you not see that touch part now? So, but at the very end, her whole thing of the comedy show was I'm fucking done with social media. I met this kid. He decides not to kill her because of her speech. Oh yeah.
And then she's like, fuck [:Scott: I don't know. I, I feel that's, uh, as far as like, when I'm writing something Uhhuh, uh, the best piece of writing advice I ever got was put things in that you think could, could possibly contribute and then other people will put it all together on their own. You are as much a part of a story as the person who wrote it, because once you write something it's not yours anymore, you're not gonna be there to explain what I meant by this and stuff like that.
but yeah. the way you saw a [:So I don't think the lesson necessarily was anything other than I don't. I, I think it might have just been as simple as he was making, how to videos. things got a little carried away. I got a little carried away.
Frank: How do it, I just wanted to ask, I mean, I thought it was, you know, I just thought it was interesting how she made that bold statement.
I thought that was, you know, that's gonna be the drive behind her, you know, and then
Scott: bad reviews of this movie. One of 'em is, uh, the film is repetitive and blank. Little of interest to say about social media, modern life, or even loneliness, two stars out of five. Wrong. This, this movie wasn't boring. It wasn't repetitive.
What the fuck did he watch? Yeah, and I only ever, like, anytime I
Frank: read you a, he read the fuckings, like he read the description and then fucking watch 20
oes. So his was the top bad, [:I actually will take those into account cuz they're just people, unless they wrote like 10 paragraphs, this one's from bloody disgusting. Bri feels like an extended episode of black mirror. One that begins a delightful comedy full of Gonzo energy that reveals in bloodshed, but stretches out too long.
We've received this message before and it ultimately feels empty. Uh, like I said, last time, there are only so many thing ideas that humanity is gonna have, and it's time on this planet before the planet shrugs us
Frank: off as a found footage expert, I must say that's fucking complete horse shit, because like you just said, there's only so many things you can do.
And the fact that they combined this with fucking ride share with social media. Yeah. Come on. Name another one of those
Scott: none. And not everything has to fucking say something. No, you know, he, you can, he did a
Frank: great fucking job. His acting in that fucking
ovie was fantastic. He did a [:Frank: things.
Let me make a fucking relevant reference. Mm-hmm something that you can
Scott: associate with. And the reason I put that one second too, that one was a little further down the list, but I expect more from bloody disgusting, cuz I like your publication. Yeah. I mean, this is not a good review of this is
Frank: somebody reaching.
Fucking. Yeah.
Scott: And, and the next one I I'm done from a, a woman whose name I can't pronounce increasingly repetitive. The satire isn't as hard hitting as it should be. How should it be? Uh, and the fact that Kurt's main targets are women of color is uncomfortably unexamined, even as sassier Zada, makes for an awesome nemesis, a missed opportunity.
h? I kind of UNO had the gun [:Apparently he may killed UNO. You're right. But no, the cops probably killed UNO. You're right. Probably. And, and she did shoot a cop. Yeah. Yeah. She
Frank: fucking shot a cop in the head
Scott: in any.
Frank: They got her outta the car? No. Um, increasing a repetitive disagree satire. Isn't as hard hitting the fact that Kurt's
Scott: main targets
Frank: are women of colors comfortably unexamined.
No. Well
Scott: that's because that's not something worth examining in this fucking movie because it's not true. Also the only woman of color isn't ever his target. And then once he does go after her, he changes his mind. Yeah. Because he hits him right. In the fucking heart, man. Yeah. And so, but then, I mean, he does flip flop.
If anything, this seemed empowering of that rather than no, that's
Frank: a horrible fucking review because yeah. And again,
Scott: these are all the top negative professional reviews, kind of what we're saying with this podcast, you can't read reviews, you gotta watch movies. Yeah. Just watch the fucking movie, just, you know, be sitting there and be like, I'm gonna watch the lawyers cuz I, I wanna see.
[:Frank: might not like it, but when you criticize it, make sure that it makes sense if you're gonna critique it, like, make sure that you have some
Scott: fucking, if it's your job and you're getting paid to do that. Cause we're not, we're not getting paid to do this, but we really like movies and we like watching 'em and talking about 'em with each other.
No. And just, you know, in case, and I'm not saying this to slam anyone or anything like that. If you have a career as a professional reviewer, like you hit golden, you should do better than this. Yeah. And that's what I think. So we're gonna do yeah. Next time. We're gonna watch the MIS I haven't seen it since it came out.
Yeah. I didn't see it in the theater. I've watched it when I think I, oh, I was working at the video store when that came out. So that is when I'd like to see how it held up over the years. So yeah.
Frank: Aaron
Scott: Eckhart was amazing.
Thomas Jane, Tom Jane. The better era Eck. Thomas Jane makes better decisions than Aaron Airhart.
Frank: Ah, yeah.
rhart has done far too many, [:You know, he likes Stephen King. If you like Stephen King, we can all the
Frank: times we've talked about it, really, really thinking about it, even though Aaron Eckhart's like winning, I think in the long game, you know, in the money game maybe. Yeah. That's what I mean. But Thomas Jane has made the better movies.
Thomas Jane has
Scott: made the better movies he's made
Frank: the better movies. He's a better actor hands down. I think I'm at the point where I could say hands down. I mean,
Scott: Tom Jane is Miller from the expanse mm-hmm Miller is one of my favorite characters in books, movies, television, anything of all time? I love fucking detective.
So the first
Frank: background, extra thing that I did, I was on a football field with AAC heart. So I've, I've been in the presence of the man. Didn't talk to him or anything. Would've been close, watched him throw the football, talk to some other people. How'd he smell didn't get close enough to sniff, but it was very hot.
It was may in [:Scott: Probably amazing. Anyway, cause he looks like one of those guys, just,
Frank: he just smells good. Do you think he puts like brute on his
Scott: Gooch? Oh, for
