In 2010 director, Edgar Wright
and star.

2
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:06,700
Michael Cera gave the world.
A stylized journey through a

3
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:10,500
young man's search for healing
in 2022.

4
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:13,300
We try a new brand that launched
mid pandemic.

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,900
The film is Scott Pilgrim vs.
The World.

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,200
The whiskey is puncher's Chance
bourbon.

7
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:22,300
Hey, that's that's a that's a
good one, isn't it?

8
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:24,600
Because they like punch a lot
wasn't punching.

9
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:31,800
Yeah, but what review them both.
This is the Film and whiskey

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:52,400
podcast,
welcome to the film and whiskey

11
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,500
podcast, where each week, we
review a classic movie and a

12
00:00:55,508 --> 00:00:59,300
glass of whiskey.
I'm Bob book, I'm Brad G and

13
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:02,000
this week, we are continuing
Continuing, our Edgar Wright

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,300
miniseries with his 2010 film
Scott Pilgrim vs.

15
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:09,300
The World Brad.
This is a movie that was not

16
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:13,400
originally slated for this
season and in the offseason when

17
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,300
we were, you know, coordinating
sponsors for this year.

18
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:19,700
We struck up a deal with our
friends over at Doc Swensons and

19
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:22,700
they said, Hey in addition to
taking our money?

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,100
Would you like to do a review of
our favorite film Scott Pilgrim

21
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:29,000
vs.
The World and we'd been looking

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,300
for an opportunity to do.
An Edgar Wright kind of

23
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:33,700
retrospective in the first
place.

24
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:36,900
So it worked out perfectly we
slotted in this movie.

25
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:40,500
And the reason I say all that is
because for maybe only like the

26
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:44,600
second or third time in the
history of our podcast, I had

27
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,300
never seen this movie before.
Oh My Gosh, Robert.

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,100
Yeah, where were you in 2010?
Not watching this.

29
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,300
I was buying a ticket to the
social network.

30
00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:59,200
Not not this one, that, that
would make sense.

31
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:01,400
Yep.
Oh, man.

32
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,900
Yeah, this is, this is wild.
I know that charade was a movie.

33
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:09,000
I had seen and you had not, I
don't.

34
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:11,800
What other movies did you?
I mean, there might have been

35
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:13,800
like, I don't think I had ever
watched.

36
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,200
Well, no, that's not true.
I was gonna say Secondhand Lions

37
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,600
but I had watched that Prime my
recommendation.

38
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:22,000
Yeah.
So yeah, let's let's just say,

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,400
for the sake of argument, this
is only the second one ever.

40
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,800
Yeah, we should lie almost like,
have a moment of silence.

41
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,300
This is momentous.
We should have a moment of

42
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:32,900
silence for this movie, but it's
not for.

43
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:36,300
The reason that you're
recommending credit was was that

44
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:41,300
Bob, I gotta say, dude, I am not
a fan of this movie as soon as

45
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:45,600
you told me you'd never seen it.
I was like I just feel like as I

46
00:02:45,608 --> 00:02:49,800
was watching it I just felt.
I was like man this just doesn't

47
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,600
feel like a bob book type of
movie.

48
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,000
Well you know how like the older
you get the more I don't want to

49
00:02:56,008 --> 00:02:59,000
say set in your ways you are but
you're willing to go out of your

50
00:02:59,008 --> 00:03:01,600
comfort zone, a little bit too.
Watch films for this podcast

51
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,800
Brad.
But in general you have a good

52
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,600
sense going into those movies of
like I'm gonna like this movie

53
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,100
or I'm not, you know what I
mean?

54
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:11,700
And sometimes a movie surprises
you, but just generally

55
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:14,100
speaking, there are certain
types of movies that everyone

56
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:17,700
has that they like, and that
they don't like and see, I don't

57
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:20,700
know, man, I was excited to
watch a movie about the

58
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:24,400
assassination of a famous
cowboy, but here we are.

59
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:28,000
That's what I'm saying.
So this movie, I've never seen

60
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,700
it but partially it's because I
think I just always I knew I

61
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:33,500
wasn't going to like this movie.
I was very familiar with it.

62
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:36,900
I've seen visuals from it
before, it's just in this weird.

63
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:39,600
Kind of sub-genre of, I don't
even want to call it, like,

64
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,700
video game movie, but that sort
of like fantasy loser.

65
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:49,600
Nerd movie that not just, like,
it just doesn't know, like not.

66
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,500
No, it's not a movie for losers
and nerds.

67
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:54,000
It's like a movie about a loser.
In a nerd.

68
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:57,600
That is Fantastical.
And no, no, no, no.

69
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,000
I see what you're saying.
Stop it.

70
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,100
Fine.
Yeah, that's Right, I'll stand

71
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:05,500
by it.
This is the place to be honest

72
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,600
with how you really feel about
the world.

73
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,800
Yeah man, it just exists in this
really weird place for me, where

74
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,900
I'll watch a quote-unquote like
dumb action movie all day.

75
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,100
Like I'm, you know, I've raved
to people about Michael Bay's

76
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:22,000
movie ambulance this year.
I loved that movie, this movie,

77
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,200
like it just it's in this middle
ground for me, where it's like,

78
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,400
I just don't think that's going
to be for me and I'll tell you

79
00:04:27,407 --> 00:04:30,200
what man, I respect.
What?

80
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,700
Happening on screen.
But as its unfolding I'm like,

81
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:36,800
this is not for me, if it makes
you feel any better.

82
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,000
This movie was made on a budget
of 60 million and its worldwide.

83
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,400
Gross was 49 million.
Yeah.

84
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,900
Sex.
Clearly the world agreed with

85
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:50,600
you Scott Pilgrim.
Lost in his battle.

86
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:54,100
He certainly did man.
Alright so you had seen this

87
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,400
movie prior to the podcast, I
had.

88
00:04:56,500 --> 00:05:00,200
Yeah I I think this was my
second mate.

89
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:04,600
Maybe third time watching it.
I know I watched it in college

90
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:09,200
at the request of a friend.
We watched it together at some

91
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,100
point and I really enjoyed it.
I thought it was like a fun

92
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,300
amusing, quirky kind of movie.
Honestly, I think it would have

93
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:19,100
been.
I'm pretty sure I saw before I

94
00:05:19,108 --> 00:05:21,100
saw Shaun of the Dead.
So I think it would have been my

95
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:23,900
first experience with Edgar
Wright.

96
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:27,600
I'm developing a theory and I
say that because I'm everything

97
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,100
I say about this movie is going
to be an intelligent Theory.

98
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,700
Has, I literally finished
watching this movie 90 seconds

99
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:37,200
before we press record like,
like I finished the film I came

100
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,400
on, I said, hey Brad, and we
started recording.

101
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:43,400
What was there like a really
quick Edgar Wright cut from you

102
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,800
like ripping, ripping the DVD
out of the player, slamming it

103
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,100
into the case.
Claiming the case is closed.

104
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,800
Pulling your microphone out and
just boom.

105
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,000
You're there.
The here I am.

106
00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:58,700
I'll bet that it's fun to watch
this movie in a group setting.

107
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,100
I bet this movie plays better.
Better like as not as a party

108
00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:04,700
movie but you know, there's
eight of us hanging out in a

109
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:07,600
room and we're all shooting to
as we're watching a movie.

110
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,500
Kind of, it's the anti silence.
Basically, the anti silence.

111
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:13,000
Yes.
You should have watched this one

112
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,700
instead.
Yes.

113
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:17,600
But I think part of why I may
not care for this movie, is

114
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,000
that?
It is such a hyperactive film

115
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,200
that.
I feel like the more attention

116
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,500
you give it, the more exhausting
it is.

117
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,300
And when you're in a room where
you can kind of like make an

118
00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:31,100
offhanded comment every now and
then or get Then go pee and let

119
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:33,600
the thing keep playing.
I actually feel like this would

120
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,400
be a perfect movie for that kind
of setting.

121
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,200
And I actually I don't mean that
as a slight at all.

122
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:42,200
I just think that like me
sitting in my room, you know,

123
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,900
watching this film with my movie
critic extra serious hat on may

124
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:49,500
not have been the best mode for
watching this movie.

125
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:55,900
I just see Andy from the office
pool in his heart ass that I

126
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:56,700
don't know.
What do you think though?

127
00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:59,800
Do you think this would be like
the ideal setting for this movie

128
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,400
is Is group.
I mean, the first time I watched

129
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,200
it I think it was just me and my
friend Zeke and so it wasn't

130
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,400
like a big group setting but it
was nice to watch it with him.

131
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,900
He already had seen and enjoyed
it, but yeah, this time through.

132
00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:19,800
I watched it as like, you Bob
with my serious movie critic hat

133
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,100
on and by myself late at night,
there you go.

134
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:26,100
Oh, I was still a fan of the
movie.

135
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:30,800
I think that the the thing I
really like about At the movie,

136
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,400
If I had to boil it down, it's
just it's really quirky and zany

137
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,800
and kind of off-the-wall and the
humor works for me.

138
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:43,700
And it's got a really sweet
message of like a boy and a girl

139
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:47,100
who are really lost in their
lives and finding each other.

140
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,900
In the midst of not being
certain about what's going on

141
00:07:49,900 --> 00:07:52,400
for them.
Yeah, I'm like, I'm down with

142
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,400
that.
It's not like a 10/10 or

143
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,500
anything.
It's not even a nine out of ten,

144
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:59,300
but it's fun and amusing and
entertaining.

145
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:02,100
And I like Thought about it.
I'm with you man.

146
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:05,200
I think that there's a, you
know, even for me as a guy who

147
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,300
didn't care for the movie, it is
admirable that everyone involved

148
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:12,100
in this movie is 100% committed
to the bit.

149
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:15,100
You know what I mean?
Like everyone has bought in and

150
00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:18,900
it is a very, very particular.
I think part of what was so

151
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:23,600
jarring about it for me is that
it wasn't I don't know how to

152
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,900
explain it.
I was gonna say it's not

153
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:28,100
self-aware, that's not true
because it's totally self-aware,

154
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,700
but it's not self-aware in the
Marvel way.

155
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:33,200
Yeah, do you know what I mean?
Were there like undercutting

156
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,200
everything with like Winks at
the camera?

157
00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:41,600
This one like it parodies the
super serious kind of like anime

158
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,500
roots that it that it's going
for but it's also doing it at

159
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:50,200
like a 100% commitment level and
yeah.

160
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:52,100
And I couldn't like part of what
threw me was.

161
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,800
Like I'm trying to figure out,
are we watching a Fantastical

162
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,400
World here?
Where the things in this world

163
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,300
are actually happening.
Are we just watching what's

164
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:02,500
going on?
Inside some, you know, like

165
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:07,200
young man's head are we just
supposed to like I couldn't?

166
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,500
I couldn't quite understand,
like, what's the realism of this

167
00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:11,700
world.
But again, I think part of the

168
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:16,500
reason that it threw me so much
is that they aren't winking at

169
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:19,600
the camera the whole time.
And it's kind of refreshing in a

170
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:26,400
way to to go back and watch a
Phase three MCU movie where not.

171
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,100
Everything has to be a send-up
of itself.

172
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,400
Well, and that's the beautiful
thing about this movie that I

173
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,200
don't know.
I was watching a review.

174
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,800
This is going to be super nerdy.
Bob, I was watching a review of

175
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,800
The Dungeons & Dragons movie
trailer that just came out the

176
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:51,000
other day and he was talking
about how movies that talk about

177
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,700
fantasy have to go In one of two
directions, they their have to

178
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:57,200
go the Lord of the Rings route
and take it super seriously or

179
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,000
they have to go the Thor
Ragnarok route.

180
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,800
And as you were saying the MCU
phase 3 route and just make fun

181
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,900
of itself the entire time.
And obviously the D&D movie is

182
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:10,800
going the second route.
The thing I love about Scott

183
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,000
Pilgrim is that it takes itself,
really?

184
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,800
Seriously like it knows that it
is a graphic novel adaptation.

185
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:22,900
It doesn't try to be anything
else and it's just Meant to be

186
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:26,600
what it is and I can respect
that in a director.

187
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,900
I was telling a friend of mine
that I really just think that

188
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:35,300
Edgar Wright is one of the very
few directors that could that

189
00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:38,200
could have pulled off Scott
Pilgrim vs.

190
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,300
The World.
Like, I really think it's one of

191
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:43,900
the best graphic novel
adaptations that's ever been

192
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:45,300
done.
And I think it's because Edgar

193
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:52,200
Wright with his his style of
cinematography just fits the The

194
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,400
world of manga and and all of
that goes into that.

195
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,300
All right, Brad we've gone like
10 minutes already and we have

196
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:03,600
not thrown over to America's

197
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,000
explains.

00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,900
things about this podcast is not
just the input that we get from

208
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:44,700

209
00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:46,400
level.
Yeah, there's some really

210
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,000
authentic friendships that have
sprung up in the midst of our

the internet is a place where

213
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,000
things suck and I'm really happy
that I feel like we've been able

214
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,100

teensiest little corner of the

internet.

218
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,600
It is time for Brad, explains
the part of the podcast where my

219
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,600
co-host, Brad breaks down, the
plot of the film that he has

220
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,800
just seen often.
For the first time Brad we've

221
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,100
put 60 seconds on the clock can
you break down the plot of Scott

222
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:29,400
Pilgrim vs.
The World?

223
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,400
Scott Pilgrim is a young 22
year.

224
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,400
Old Canadian who is really
struggling to deal with the

225
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,200
breakup of someone, he thought
to be his true love and in the

226
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,100
midst of that, he starts dating.
A 17 year-old high schooler,

227
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:46,900
which his friends all.
Tell him is an absolutely

228
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:50,200
terrible idea.
He eventually meets this girl

229
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,000
named Ramona Flowers.
Who he is wildly interested in.

230
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,300
He's had dreams about her and so
he tries to break up with

231
00:12:57,300 --> 00:13:02,600
knives, isn't able to do it and
he tries to pursue Ramona, and

232
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,300
she is interested in him for
some reason.

233
00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:08,800
So they start dating and knives
becomes his stalker.

234
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,500
Scott's in a band that is really
terrible, they're called The Sex

235
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:16,400
by bombs.
He has a gay roommate, his

236
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,200
sisters Anna Kendrick's, he
fights a bunch of evil ex

237
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,100
boyfriends.
And girlfriends of Ramona

238
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:26,000
Flowers.
That's like the whole thrust of

239
00:13:26,008 --> 00:13:29,600
the movie that he fights all
these bad people and he figures

240
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,700
out in the end that he is worth
her love and she learns that she

241
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:38,600
can be her own person and it's
really beautiful, boom, boom.

242
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,000
Or should we say ba bom?
But Bob, all right.

243
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:44,600
Bob, I got a question for you.
Yeah.

244
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,500
Go ahead.
Do you know what a bomb has?

245
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:53,700
I do not Bob a bomb is the
little I'll bomb character that

246
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:56,300
tries to blow Mario and Mario.
That's right.

247
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,500
I knew that I had heard that
before.

248
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:00,500
Yeah, you're welcome.
How fun.

249
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:05,900
Okay, so do you get it?
It's a reference to a video

250
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:09,400
reference.
Yeah, wow, and avocado.

251
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:14,500
Thanks, all right, I got his
before we even get into the

252
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:15,900
performances today.
Brad.

253
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:20,000
I just, I have to ask you about
the world of this movie, because

254
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,900
I don't really know how much
more I can talk about the

255
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:25,200
Without understanding where
you're coming from in your

256
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,500
interpretation of it, and trying
to figure out what I think about

257
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:36,300
it, like, is this movie's
supposed to be a, what's like

258
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:42,800
anime called manga?
Yeah, manga is Anime is

259
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:46,200
animated, right?
Manga is a comic book.

260
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,600
Okay?
And I always why I always worry

261
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,500
that, I'm going to say whatever
the name of the porn one is has

262
00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:55,200
had 10 times.
Yeah, Aunt, I don't say that.

263
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,800
All right, do not do not support
attack.

264
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,100
This is one of the best friend I
ever real.

265
00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:04,700
My gosh, I love it.
Okay.

266
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:13,100
Is this movie's supposed to be
like a Japanese manga or anime

267
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,000
that just happens to be
live-action?

268
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,200
Like do these people actually
have real powers, are they

269
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,900
actually fighting?
Or are we just watching like a

270
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,600
Fantastical version of something
that's happening in the real

271
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,300
world?
In this kind of drab setting

272
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,200
that is like a heightened
imagined version of what's going

273
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,000
on.
I would Lean towards the second

274
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,500
one.
I know that this is written.

275
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,800
Hmm.
I did a little bit of research

276
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,600
for this and by this, I mean to
fax in the falsehood obviously.

277
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:55,000
And in that research I learned
that this isn't necessarily a

278
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,200
manga.
I don't believe it was written

279
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,100
in Japan.
I believe it was not written.

280
00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:03,300
Yeah.
In the US or in Canada, I would

281
00:16:03,300 --> 00:16:05,800
guess maybe in Canada because it
is like set.

282
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,200
In Canada, the actual graphic
novel.

283
00:16:08,700 --> 00:16:14,400
And so I believe that it's just
a world where Scott Pilgrim has

284
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,300
been living a normal life and it
is thrown upside down by this

285
00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:24,200
girl Ramona and now he has
superpowers kind of hmm maybe

286
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:27,700
yeah I'm just I'm just along for
the ride man.

287
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,500
I'm just letting it be.
I'm not asking too many

288
00:16:30,500 --> 00:16:32,700
questions clearly cause I'm
asking too many.

289
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:36,800
So we're balancing out here
because because like Halfway

290
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,400
through this movie, not even
halfway, I texted you and I was

291
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,700
like, man, I am not digging this
thing and you were like, don't

292
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:46,300
worry it gets better.
But then you also said, you

293
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:48,800
know, for a guy that really
likes Eternal Sunshine, I

294
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,000
thought that you would be in on
this movie a little more than

295
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,900
you seem to be, and that's fair.
I think Eternal Sunshine is a

296
00:16:53,908 --> 00:16:55,900
pretty good comparison.
I think an even better

297
00:16:55,900 --> 00:16:59,100
comparison would be 500 Days of
Summer, which is a movie that I

298
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:03,900
really, really like.
But in that movie, especially I

299
00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:07,599
don't want to say that like I
sound like I'm advocating for

300
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:10,599
like a really simplistic
spoon-fed version of this movie

301
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:14,000
where the director tells me now,
this is the real world, and this

302
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,200
is what he's imagining.
I mean I was thinking it.

303
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,700
I was.
Yeah.

304
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:19,200
I mean it's true.
It's true.

305
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,000
I just, I really struggle with
trying to understand what are

306
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
the actual rules of this movie
is Brandon Routh actually

307
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,900
punching this small girl hard
enough in the face.

308
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:32,000
That he knocks the highlights
out of her hair.

309
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,300
Like what?
What is going on with the

310
00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:37,500
violence on screen?
I'm really, really struggling

311
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:40,800
with this.
I mean, I Bob, I'm gonna be

312
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,900
honest with you.
I did not expect you to take

313
00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:48,200
this movie so serious.
Like, I don't take it.

314
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,000
So see, that's the thing is, I
don't want to think about this

315
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,800
movie anymore that I have to,
but it's just bothering me.

316
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:59,200
Yeah, I mean, what do you have?
When you have Brandon route,

317
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:02,600
punching a small Asian girls
highlights out of her hair.

318
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:06,600
I think at a certain point you
just go like, oh, this is just,

319
00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:10,200
this is just a comic book movie
like like, everything's just

320
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,400
thrown against the wall to see
what sticks.

321
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:16,500
I mean, like, even if I had been
watching this movie with sheer

322
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:21,100
boredom and my eyes glaze over
to that point, like he hits his

323
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:23,900
girl in the face so hard that
her highlights fly against the

324
00:18:23,900 --> 00:18:27,200
wall, like splattered brains.
And you know, my head kind of

325
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,300
cocked to the side and I was
like, huh, what's going on here?

326
00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:37,700
I just thought I think this
movie is so, so funny and like,

327
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:40,000
that is what are the perfect
moments of the movie where

328
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,600
you're just like, I don't know,
I guess this is probably the

329
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,000
epitome of a movie where you're
either in or you're like way

330
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
out.
And I really like that about the

331
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,600
movie.
Like honestly, I like it.

332
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,500
When a movie is it doesn't allow
you to sit on the fence either.

333
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:58,200
It's committed, it's committed,
but it's also made with such a

334
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,600
singular Vision that you're
either on board.

335
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,000
Or you're not, and there is no
in between and I think I mean

336
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
clearly you can tell where I'm
falling on this, but that

337
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,800
doesn't mean I don't respect the
movie.

338
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,900
Well, that's what I that's why I
love the fact that we're doing

339
00:19:13,900 --> 00:19:16,900
these director miniseries
because I think it gives us a

340
00:19:16,908 --> 00:19:20,500
chance to really flesh out who
these directors are.

341
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,000
And like, when you look at Edgar
Wright, I think that Scott

342
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,900
Pilgrim vs.
The World is like a perfect

343
00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:32,500
example of of his very strong
style and vision.

344
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,700
And I think it's an example of
how, you know, there's certain

345
00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:39,100
directors that we watched like a
Scorsese.

346
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,700
We're like, when you watch a
Scorsese film, you know, you

347
00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:45,600
have just watched Martin
Scorsese.

348
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,800
The master of modern Cinema.
Yeah, right.

349
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,900
And like, I think that some
people can look down on a

350
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:56,800
director like Edgar Wright, who
just I think he is as singularly

351
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,500
unique and focused in his vision
as somebody like Scorsese.

352
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:05,200
He just does it with a lot Zane.
Your Concepts and he does it

353
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,800
with things like Shaun of the
Dead, and baby driver.

354
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,600
And, and these graphic novels,
and it's just wild and crazy.

355
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,400
And for me, I've just not seen
an Edgar Wright movie that I

356
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,800
wasn't at the just had a lot of
fun with.

357
00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:22,400
It's definitely a fun movie,
I'll give it that.

358
00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:25,500
And I think it's really
interesting because the order

359
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:28,800
that we recorded our recent
episodes, you know, there's been

360
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,200
an episode in between silence
and this one, but we, the last

361
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,400
episode You and I recorded
together was silence.

362
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,700
And in that episode, we talked
about how it seems on the

363
00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:43,000
surface, like silence is an
anomaly in scorsese's catalog

364
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,600
because it's, you know, I mean,
it came after Wolf of Wall

365
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,100
Street, and Wolf of Wall Street,
share so much in common with

366
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:50,700
Goodfellas and casino.
And that's what you think of

367
00:20:50,700 --> 00:20:53,700
when you think Scorsese, but
when you really dig beneath the

368
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:55,400
surface, all the themes are
still there.

369
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,900
And I think it's kind of similar
with this movie.

370
00:20:57,900 --> 00:20:59,800
We're going to do baby driver
next week.

371
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,700
And honestly, baby driver might
be the Lee of Edgar Wright's

372
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:07,200
career to this point.
Because so many of his movies

373
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:12,300
are about the growing up process
and finding a clever metaphor

374
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:16,700
for these, you know, young or
middle-aged men, finally coming

375
00:21:16,700 --> 00:21:20,000
to their senses and growing up.
And so I think this movie really

376
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,500
does have a lot in common with
Shaun of the Dead with the

377
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:28,400
world's end with Hot Fuzz it's
just made stylistically a little

378
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,700
bit differently and so that's
what threw me off.

379
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,600
You know, when it comes when it
comes to Like a surface level

380
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,300
reading but beneath the surface,
all those things are still

381
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:39,500
there.
And I feel like you're talking

382
00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:42,400
yourself into a higher score as
we speak.

383
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,700
I don't even have to do
anything, you know.

384
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:48,600
Nope, don't worry.
The rug will get pulled out in

385
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,300
about 30 minutes here.
Let's talk about the

386
00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:54,300
performances here.
Do you want to start in the

387
00:21:54,300 --> 00:21:57,100
periphery with somebody like
Anna Kendrick's or do you just

388
00:21:57,100 --> 00:22:00,100
want to jump to Michael?
Cera and Mary Elizabeth

389
00:22:00,100 --> 00:22:01,400
Winstead?
Let's go to my boy.

390
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,000
Mikey see.
Mikey see, Mikey, see what up?

391
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,100
What up?
My favorite Gifts of all time is

392
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:10,600
when he walks in and just
crumbles onto the floor asleep,

393
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:16,200
with his book bag on, I really
like Michael Cera and he's a

394
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,600
very good actor and he's under
rated for what he does.

395
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,300
And I think part of the problem
with Michael Cera is like he can

396
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:27,200
only do that or to this point.
He has only been turned loose to

397
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,300
do that, but there's also really
nobody else that can do that.

398
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,600
I know for a long time.
People put him up side by side

399
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,100
with Jesse Eisenberg, but
they're very different actors

400
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:43,700
and Michael, Sarah's just comic,
abilities are Tip-Top and

401
00:22:43,700 --> 00:22:47,400
there's so, so good.
Like I God, can you just think

402
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,200
about reversing Michael Cera and
Jesse Eisenberg in their 2010

403
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:57,300
movies.
My gosh, Michael Cera in The

404
00:22:57,300 --> 00:23:01,700
Social Network, I'm just
thinking about the opening scene

405
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:05,900
from The Social Network and how
vastly different it with me.

406
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,200
I wish I could do it Michael
Cera impression, but I got

407
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,300
nothing.
Yeah.

408
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,800
He's a very specific actor.
To say the least.

409
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:19,600
I just think about him in
Superbad, which I think is just

410
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,100
forever going to be Peak.
Michael Cera for me, even more

411
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:26,000
than Juno and the scene in
Superbad, where the guys are at

412
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,400
that party and they asked him to
sing, but he's it's so awkward.

413
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:32,600
And, oh, I just, I love him so
much and that movie, and he's

414
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,400
really good here.
I think my issue is that I don't

415
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,200
like Scott Pilgrim that much.
Like, I don't like that

416
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,600
character.
He's not a good person.

417
00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:47,000
And the end of the movie, is
him, realizing that he's not

418
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,100
been a good person, and that's
all fine and good.

419
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:52,900
But it was hard for me to
continue watching the movie

420
00:23:53,300 --> 00:23:59,000
because he was such an obtuse
person that it gave the movie

421
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,100
like no.
Sense of forward, momentum to

422
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:04,300
me, and like, obviously it has
tons of forward momentum because

423
00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:07,100
you have Edgar Wright like
whooshing, the camera around

424
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:08,600
everywhere.
But do you understand what I'm

425
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,300
saying?
Like, I think he was really good

426
00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:14,900
in the movie, but playing a
character that that had so few

427
00:24:14,900 --> 00:24:17,400
redeeming qualities that I
almost didn't care.

428
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,500
Yeah, I mean, I understand where
you're coming from.

429
00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:24,200
I remember at the very start of
the film when they're at band

430
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,000
practice and he makes a comment
about like why he's dating

431
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,600
knives.
And he's like, Go.

432
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,700
Like we're like just dating
because she's a girl and I want

433
00:24:32,700 --> 00:24:36,100
to date a girl, and, and it's
just this Awkward Moment of

434
00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:39,100
like, oh, this guy is shallow
and has no character.

435
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,800
And so I was with you at that
point, but I think that the rest

436
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,800
of the movie develops a sense of
like oh this isn't just a

437
00:24:46,808 --> 00:24:50,500
shallow Guy, this is a guy who
got his heart, just utterly

438
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:55,200
crushed by Brie Larson, who's
really struggling with putting

439
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,000
the pieces of his life back
together.

440
00:24:57,300 --> 00:25:01,600
Like honestly, The thing for me
about this film that really

441
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,100
worked, was The Supporting Cast
like the way his roommate reacts

442
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,900
when Envy calls him, or when
somebody else, you know, says

443
00:25:10,900 --> 00:25:15,000
her name in in Scotts presents,
like you can tell that his

444
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,000
friends are all kind of
sarcastic a holes but they

445
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,700
genuinely care about Scott which
a gives me the impression that

446
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:23,900
Scott has been a good guy
throughout the years.

447
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,300
And B gives me the impression
that he's really struggling

448
00:25:28,300 --> 00:25:30,500
right now and they're trying to
kill care for him as best as

449
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:33,500
they can.
And so I guess those pieces for

450
00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:37,100
me, helped move his character
Arc along to the point in the

451
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:40,800
movie where he literally gets
the powerful weapon of like

452
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,000
self-respect.
And that's like the culmination

453
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,800
of his character Arc.
I actually thought he had a

454
00:25:45,808 --> 00:25:50,300
really nice character Arc and
beyond that, I'm with you two

455
00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:54,500
hundred percent on his comedy
like the moment when and this is

456
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:56,900
partially Edgar Wright, just
using the camera while, but the

457
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:59,300
moment and knives comes and
knocks on the door.

458
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:04,200
And his roommate Wallace goes to
answer it and he like, kind of

459
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,300
moves the camera with the
doorway to put Michael Cera out

460
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:13,500
of the picture and then he jumps
through the window and reaches

461
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:17,900
back in and grabs his coat.
I just it's moments like that.

462
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:21,900
Where I'm like, this movie is
just brilliant and I love what

463
00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:24,700
they're doing.
All right, so on the other side

464
00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:27,700
of things, you have Mary
Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona.

465
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,900
I think she's fantastic in this
movie.

466
00:26:30,300 --> 00:26:33,500
I also will say that I spent a
good portion of this movie,

467
00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:36,100
saying to myself.
Why does she look so familiar to

468
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:38,100
me?
And I mean, Mary Elizabeth

469
00:26:38,100 --> 00:26:41,300
Winstead is a, I would say, semi
famous actress.

470
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:44,800
Like, she's been in some movies,
but it's because her character

471
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,200
reminded me so much not of
another character played by the

472
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,400
same actress, but of Lizzie
kaplan's character from Mean

473
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,200
Girls.
And I was like, oh, they look

474
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,000
almost exactly alike when you
put the next to each other and

475
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,600
it really threw me off for a
while.

476
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,100
Because I spent, I had say, 15
minutes.

477
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:04,800
Maybe being like, have I seen
this movie?

478
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:11,600
She seems really familiar, man.
I have not seen Mean Girls since

479
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,600
high school.
Yeah.

480
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,300
So I have no memory of that
film.

481
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:17,000
Okay.
Well then you could just agree

482
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:17,700
with me.
Tell me.

483
00:27:17,700 --> 00:27:20,700
I'm right.
Yeah, you're probably wrong and

484
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:25,100
we'll just leave it at that.
No, I love Mary Elizabeth

485
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:28,700
Winstead in this.
I think that she is the perfect

486
00:27:28,700 --> 00:27:33,600
counterbalance to Michael Cera
in this because all of his, his

487
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,000
compatriots are just wildly over
played in the in the most

488
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,300
perfect way and she plays such a
calm, cool collected character

489
00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:48,000
that moves to a place of
uncertainty and the more you get

490
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,900
to know her alongside our
protagonist, the more you

491
00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:56,100
realize like she's Is the broken
hurting young girl.

492
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:58,100
Trying to find her way in the
world as well.

493
00:27:58,700 --> 00:28:02,400
I just think that her character
has a really beautiful way of

494
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:07,600
engaging with Scott and kind of
drawing him forward out of his

495
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,300
place of depression and
struggle.

496
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,200
And I think that Mary Elizabeth
Winstead does a really

497
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,600
phenomenal job of highlighting
her own struggle while she's

498
00:28:17,900 --> 00:28:21,400
looking to Scott for something
new in her life.

499
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,300
And I thought she did Killer job
here man.

500
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,500
One thing that this movie really
does have going for it though.

501
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:32,200
Is that it?
It includes I'd say a dozen

502
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,200
up-and-coming actors who all
went on to have incredible

503
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,200
careers after this film.
Even some of the actors that are

504
00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:43,000
lesser known by the general
public like, Alison Pill.

505
00:28:43,100 --> 00:28:45,900
I mean, they've all had
incredible careers in Indy

506
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:49,400
movies and and and smaller films
to the point where I'm watching

507
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,600
the opening credits and I'm
like, oh my gosh, how did they

508
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,900
ever Word, all these people and
it's just because they hadn't

509
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:58,600
really blown up yet.
Yeah, I mean you have Aubrey

510
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,900
Plaza in here.
You have Anna Kendrick even I

511
00:29:01,900 --> 00:29:05,100
don't know if he's really ever
blown up but Macaulay Culkin's,

512
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:09,100
brother Kieran Culkin.
So we are not a we're not a TV

513
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:12,400
podcast but he is on probably
the most popular TV show in the

514
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,800
world right now called
succession on HBO.

515
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,500
He's one of the main characters
in that.

516
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:19,200
So if you know, I think his
character's name is Roman on

517
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,300
that I've never watched
succession, but I've always

518
00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:24,700
wanted to but yeah.
So He's even, you know, thrust

519
00:29:24,700 --> 00:29:28,500
himself to the for of public
Consciousness now, it's crazy.

520
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,500
How many people Chris Evans is
in this movie?

521
00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:35,100
I mean, you know, to the point
where even in the scene, where

522
00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:39,700
the vegan police break in.
But both of those guys are like,

523
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:42,900
really famous actors in terms of
like having done a ton of stuff.

524
00:29:42,900 --> 00:29:45,600
One of them is Thomas Jane who
played The Punisher.

525
00:29:45,900 --> 00:29:49,000
The other one is a character
actor, named Clifton Collins jr.

526
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:52,700
Give he gave one of my favorite
performances of the century.

527
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,400
Back in 2005 in the movie
Capote.

528
00:29:55,500 --> 00:29:58,400
Like it was just it's so cool to
see the people that keep popping

529
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,400
up in this movie.
And the roster is so deep by

530
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,500
just, you're going to give this
movie like a five and a half or

531
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:10,500
a six and say just every single
nice thing in the world about it

532
00:30:10,500 --> 00:30:12,800
and I'm just going to be I'm
just letting you know, now I'm

533
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,500
going to be flabbergasted well
in order to steer out of that

534
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:19,400
conversation because we will get
final scores later on.

535
00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:22,100
I think it's time for us to hit
pause and try this whiskey.

536
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:26,000
What do you say?
Let's get to a bob lately.

537
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,300
I've been finding myself pulling
Whiskey's off the shelf that are

538
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:31,900
consistently unique ones.
That tell a good story.

539
00:30:31,900 --> 00:30:34,600
Every time I pop the Cork and I
have to say the docks.

540
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,700
Winston's is absolutely top tier
when it comes to a fascinating

541
00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:41,900
poor.
What separates doc Swensons from

542
00:30:41,900 --> 00:30:44,000
the rest of the pack is their
unrelenting?

543
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,700
Goal of always letting the
whiskey shine.

544
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:48,000
No matter what whiskey comes
through.

545
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,400
The front door at Doc's.
Their team of tasters will blend

546
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,000
and finish it into something
that is Deliciously.

547
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,700
Memorable.
The beautiful thing about a good

548
00:30:56,700 --> 00:30:59,400
blended whiskey.
Is that often times with proper

549
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,900
care and attention, they turn
into a whiskey.

550
00:31:01,900 --> 00:31:04,500
That is truly greater than the
sum of their parts.

551
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Whether you're trying their
alter ego blenders cut or

552
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,400
exploratory series, you are
guaranteed to have a phenomenal

553
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,700
experience with Doc's Woodson's
whiskey, you can find them

554
00:31:15,700 --> 00:31:21,000
online at Doc's, whisky.com,
that's doccs whisky.com.

555
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:29,700
All right, so today we are
checking out.

556
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:33,400
Puncher's chance, Kentucky
Straight Bourbon whiskey Brad.

557
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,100
This bad boy, is one of the most
attractive bottles on the shelf

558
00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:39,500
right now especially at the
price point.

559
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,300
Yeah, 30 bucks.
And it is like matte black with

560
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:48,800
this awesome.
Like Mike Tyson tiger, curling

561
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,300
down the front.
It's just a cool freaking bottle

562
00:31:52,300 --> 00:31:54,500
of bourbon man.
It's got Just that little bit of

563
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:58,100
a fade to transparent at the
bottom of the bottle, kind of,

564
00:31:58,108 --> 00:32:01,500
like how new riff does and I
really love that affect.

565
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:04,100
You know, again like I said, at
the price point, there's not a

566
00:32:04,100 --> 00:32:07,700
lot of really pretty bottles out
there and I think that, like,

567
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,000
you could look at this bottle
and say, oh, that looks kind of

568
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,800
gimmicky.
But again, like, if you're only

569
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,000
buying whiskies in the 35 dollar
price range, like, this is one

570
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000
of the best looking ones, you
can get to put on your shelf, so

571
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,400
just from the get-go, I'm going
to say puncher's chance.

572
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,400
Great job on your packaging.
Yeah.

573
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:26,200
Yeah.
And a lot of times it's like a

574
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,300
company will do just a good
enough job to make me suspicious

575
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:32,200
of the product with it.
But this one I'm like, you know

576
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,100
what, I just that's just a cool
bottle and I'm totally in.

577
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,200
I don't for some reason I don't
feel like they're trying to pull

578
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,900
the hood over us.
So, puncher's chance is owned by

579
00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:45,300
a distillery in Eugene.
Oregon called wolf spirit

580
00:32:45,300 --> 00:32:47,300
Distillery.
But what is in the bottle is

581
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:49,400
actually sourced whiskey.
It's why it's called a Kentucky

582
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,800
Straight Bourbon whiskey.
It does not say where it is

583
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,100
sourced from but there is A
company that's been set up in

584
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:58,100
Bardstown, Kentucky called
puncher's chance bourbon.

585
00:32:58,100 --> 00:33:00,500
So they're sourcing it from
somewhere in Bardstown.

586
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:03,000
Probably this clocks in at 90
Proof.

587
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,700
So Brad, it's a little bit
softer and lighter than what

588
00:33:05,700 --> 00:33:09,000
we've been doing for a majority
of the season so far, but I'm

589
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,400
excited to get into it.
I have really, really enjoyed

590
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,100
this as, I've had it before.
I, it's been a few months since

591
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:16,300
I've gone back to this bottle,
I'm excited to see where it

592
00:33:16,300 --> 00:33:19,900
takes me this time.
Yeah, I tried this when we got

593
00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:22,900
it a little while ago, and
remember thinking like man, 30

594
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:26,000
bucks this.
This is like a solid poor and

595
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,900
then today, as I got into it
again, the the nose here Bob is

596
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:35,400
is just this like really nice
like movie popcorn, butter like

597
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,400
not popcorn itself but like the
butter that you put on it, it's

598
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,700
just very rich.
And then there's a lots of nice

599
00:33:41,700 --> 00:33:45,400
vanilla and caramel.
It has a nice pleasant nose but

600
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,500
nothing that like stands out for
it.

601
00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:49,800
So I'll give it a 7 out of 10 on
the nose.

602
00:33:50,500 --> 00:33:52,800
It's often hard to distinguish
for me.

603
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000
What?
And of sweetness, I'm picking up

604
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,700
on a bourbon, you know, like we
sometimes we say honey,

605
00:33:57,700 --> 00:34:00,700
sometimes we say, caramel or
brown sugar and sometimes it's

606
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:04,100
just kind of vaguely sweet.
This one I will say does a

607
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:07,800
really good job of and I mean
this as a compliment almost

608
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,199
having like an artificial
sweetness to it on the nose.

609
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:14,800
Like it almost, it smells like
cotton, candy or mum will gum

610
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,699
like a powdery like when you
unwrap a stick of pink Bubblegum

611
00:34:18,699 --> 00:34:20,400
and it has that powder on the
outside of it.

612
00:34:20,699 --> 00:34:23,400
That's what I pick up on the
nose here and I get how you're

613
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:26,100
You're picking up some of that
popcorn butter, but for me, the

614
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:28,500
thing that's really just kind of
hitting me as I put my nose in

615
00:34:28,500 --> 00:34:33,100
this, is that Dusty bubble, gum,
or cotton candy smell.

616
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,100
I like it a lot.
I'm gonna give it a seven and a

617
00:34:35,107 --> 00:34:37,600
half on the nose.
It's kind of like that like the

618
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,400
Big League Chew.
Yes.

619
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,900
Yeah, absolutely.
Oh man, that takes me back.

620
00:34:44,699 --> 00:34:48,699
The palette here is like I'm
going to just copy what you said

621
00:34:48,699 --> 00:34:50,699
Bob.
It's like kind of pleasantly

622
00:34:50,699 --> 00:34:55,000
generically sweet.
It's We got that buttery notes

623
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,600
still going on for me.
The most complex thing I got was

624
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,800
that there's a few hints of like
peanut kind of throughout.

625
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:08,800
But yeah it's just a really nice
above average bourbon so far.

626
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:11,300
It's been seven out of ten.
Yeah, man, and it's easy to

627
00:35:11,300 --> 00:35:13,200
drink.
It doesn't seem watered down.

628
00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:16,100
If there is something I'm going
to knock it for its that the

629
00:35:16,100 --> 00:35:19,700
mouth feels kind of thin, but it
has a lot of that peanutty.

630
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,400
Kind of flavor to it.
It reminds me of some Heaven

631
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,400
Hill products.
I'm not To go as far as to say

632
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,500
that, I think this is Heaven
Hill, but it reminds me of some

633
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:29,900
of those products.
I really like this a lot.

634
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:32,800
If it wasn't for that thin
mouthfeel, I think my score

635
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,900
might be even higher here, but
the alcohol makes itself known

636
00:35:37,500 --> 00:35:40,400
and it's also not harsh.
And so it has a really nice

637
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,200
balance to it on the palette.
I'm going to give it a heck.

638
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,900
I'll give it an 8 out of 10.
Yeah.

639
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:48,800
And then we get to the finish
for me, the finishes where the

640
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,200
struggles just a little bit.
It's kind of short, it's a

641
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,000
little bit Okie.
There's It's a vanilla going on

642
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,800
some of that butteriness comes
through but there's not a lot of

643
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,200
spice, they're not a lot of
depth on the Finish.

644
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,400
It's still solid but I'll jump
down a little bit.

645
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,900
Give it a six out of ten.
Yeah I'm gonna give it a six and

646
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:09,400
a half.
I'm kind of with you.

647
00:36:09,700 --> 00:36:14,000
There is just a touch of an
almost like herbal or Piney

648
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,000
thing going on on the back of my
palate here, that was just

649
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,000
slightly unpleasant.
But like I said, there's not a

650
00:36:20,008 --> 00:36:23,500
ton of alcohol burn even though
the alcohol makes it so L've

651
00:36:23,500 --> 00:36:25,700
known.
I like this finish for the most

652
00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:27,500
part, but I'm going to give it a
six and a half.

653
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:31,100
Yeah, and the balance, this is a
decently balanced, whiskey.

654
00:36:31,100 --> 00:36:34,300
I'll give it a six and a half.
The, the big the big struggle is

655
00:36:34,300 --> 00:36:39,400
that there's nothing really that
pops with the flavor, but

656
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,200
there's nothing that stands out
poorly for me either, so it's

657
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,400
pretty solid.
Yeah, I'm gonna give it a seven

658
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,400
and a half on the balance and
again, it might be because I

659
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,900
already know what the cost of
this is and so I'm being kind of

660
00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:57,000
light on it, but I mean, again,
like we always keep in mind the

661
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,800
value of this and I think when
we get to the value, I'll

662
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,400
reflect this a little bit
better, but this is a really

663
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,400
solid whiskey for the price and
it comes in really cool

664
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,600
packaging.
So it's like, you know, it's

665
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,200
like a double bonus.
I'm going to give it a seven and

666
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,700
a half on the balance.
Yeah.

667
00:37:12,700 --> 00:37:14,600
And then we're at the value
category.

668
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,700
Bob, we already said it.
This bottle cost $30 and I think

669
00:37:18,700 --> 00:37:22,600
I'll give it a 7 out of 10 like
this is like a really solid

670
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,400
value.
For just an all-around.

671
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,000
Nice bourbon.
Yeah, I'm also going to give it

672
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,500
a 7.
It's yeah.

673
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,300
Everything you said is correct.
I'm not.

674
00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:34,500
I have nothing to add to it.
Really solid Pleasant.

675
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,100
I'm going to forget that.
I drink this in about 15 minutes

676
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:39,700
but it's okay because it was a
really good experience while it

677
00:37:39,700 --> 00:37:42,000
lasted, you know what I mean?
Yeah.

678
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,200
Yeah.
I'm coming to a 33.5 out of 50.

679
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,300
Bob, where you at?
I'm going to 36.5 which frankly

680
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:51,200
I think is a little too high for
this.

681
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,700
I was probably a bit.
It's by the fact that it is only

682
00:37:54,700 --> 00:37:58,400
a 30 dollar bottle of whiskey.
But again, I don't regret giving

683
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,400
it that score either.
There was nothing about this

684
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,500
that I would call a negative
experience whatsoever.

685
00:38:04,300 --> 00:38:07,900
Yeah, normally we would say that
35 out of 50 is where we would

686
00:38:07,900 --> 00:38:11,300
stick for, you know, a
recommendation, I'm actually I'm

687
00:38:11,300 --> 00:38:14,000
going to recommend you, buy a
bottle, don't buy it.

688
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,400
If you're out at the bar because
honestly, just spend an extra 25

689
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,100
bucks and get yourself a really
cool-looking bottle with a

690
00:38:22,107 --> 00:38:24,800
really solid.
Be inside that you could pour

691
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,300
for anybody.
So yeah, you're right. 35 is

692
00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:29,000
exactly where we're coming out
on this.

693
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,600
I too am going to recommend
buying and yeah and I will say

694
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,000
not trying.
Like you said, it's not really

695
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,300
worth getting a poor of it at
the bar.

696
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,100
Just go ahead and drop the 30
bucks.

697
00:38:40,500 --> 00:38:41,900
I don't know.
You agree with me on that.

698
00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:43,800
Yeah, 100%.
All right.

699
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,200
Yeah, so two thumbs up from Bob
and Brad here on puncher's,

700
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,100
chance bourbon.
Let's just be honest.

701
00:38:49,100 --> 00:38:52,100
Bob, this is a kick-ass bottle.
It's really, it's really cool.

702
00:38:52,300 --> 00:38:55,900
How many of our points were
Awarded on bottle alone, man.

703
00:38:56,300 --> 00:38:59,900
The fact that the whiskey inside
is like solid.

704
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Like, I'd give it like a b-minus
to be range whiskey inside with

705
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,700
really, freaking cool packaging.
I'm so old man, I'm in.

706
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:13,400
Well, speaking of things that
are like as see wrapped around a

707
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,700
be packaging.
Let's get back into talking

708
00:39:15,700 --> 00:39:17,700
about Scott Pilgrim vs.
The World.

709
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:20,000
What do you think?
You literally just change my

710
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,200
words Bob but I suppose we can
get back into it.

711
00:39:24,300 --> 00:39:27,500
Today's sponsor is a little bit
of a departure from our usual

712
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:30,900
area of expertise.
And man, oh, man, I was blown

713
00:39:30,900 --> 00:39:33,500
away by their product.
Once we received it, I am

714
00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:37,100
talking about manscaped.
Now, if you're like me at all,

715
00:39:37,100 --> 00:39:39,600
you probably seen the manscaped
ads and kind of Wonder to

716
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,300
yourself like, do I really need
like some sort of specialty

717
00:39:42,300 --> 00:39:44,800
trimmer to take care of my
downstairs business?

718
00:39:45,300 --> 00:39:50,000
And I've just got to be honest.
I was absolutely wrong there

719
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,200
trimmers called the lawn mower
4.0 and I gotta say it.

720
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,700
The Rolls-Royce of Tremors.
It's got a ceramic blade.

721
00:39:56,700 --> 00:40:00,400
That reduces grooming mishaps, a
wireless charging base and an

722
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,600
awesome flashlight.
That keeps things Luminate while

723
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,300
you're working and beyond all
that it's waterproof.

724
00:40:05,500 --> 00:40:08,200
This thing is really changing
the game when it comes to below

725
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,900
the belt hygiene.
Now this is just me talking

726
00:40:10,900 --> 00:40:14,200
about my experience, but this
trimmer really is Way Beyond

727
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,900
anything I've ever used to keep
things neat.

728
00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:20,700

733
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,900
puncher's chance of whiskey.
That we are really impressed

734
00:40:40,900 --> 00:40:43,000
with Bob.
Yeah, I'm a big fan.

735
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,300
Yeah, you know what else?
I'm a big fan of.

736
00:40:46,300 --> 00:40:50,300
I'm going to say this movie, two
facts in a falsehood to facts

737
00:40:50,300 --> 00:40:53,300
and a falsehood.
See what I did, I led you astray

738
00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:55,400
there and you gets the wrong
answer.

739
00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:00,600
Also known as Bob's weekly
Slaughter so far, it has felt

740
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,700
that way I believe.
I am two and six.

741
00:41:02,900 --> 00:41:05,200
On the season now, somewhere,
around there Bob.

742
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:10,100
Yeah likes yikes.
Yeah, it's it's it's just a

743
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:12,200
great time.
I'm having a blast with it.

744
00:41:12,300 --> 00:41:15,600
Let me tell you this real quick.
I went back and I looked at Adam

745
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,500
drivers, IMDb because your
question was phrased, this was

746
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:22,700
Adam drivers first film since
midnight special and he lost

747
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:26,300
over 40 pounds for the role.
Yeah, so we already established

748
00:41:26,300 --> 00:41:28,200
that.
If he lost over 60 pounds then

749
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,100
he lost over 40 pounds.
So I'm correct their Midnight

750
00:41:32,100 --> 00:41:37,300
Special was was filmed in 2014
and not released until 2016

751
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,400
silence.
Got filmed that fall and the

752
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,900
movie that came out in between
the two of them was not filmed

753
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:48,300
until the following year.
So it was in fact his first film

754
00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:51,200
since Midnight Special.
There you go.

755
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,800
I was wrong.
I might take the point.

756
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,900
Yeah, I think you can that
amount of work you've done.

757
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,400
I will go to Great Lengths to
prove my rightness, I'm proud of

758
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,800
you, man.
All right, Brad.

759
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,400
Let's get into two facts.
In a falsehood where Brad

760
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,800
presents three items to me as
fact, and I have to decide which

761
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:15,000
one is completely bogus.
Fax number one whenever the moon

762
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,700
in this movie is shown it is
full and there is a hole in it.

763
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,900
Ramona's, third, boyfriend, Todd
Ingram.

764
00:42:21,900 --> 00:42:25,400
The psychic vegan is mentioned
in a flashback to have punched a

765
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,300
hole there for her.
When they dated in the graphic

766
00:42:28,300 --> 00:42:30,400
novel.
He also punches a second hole in

767
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,600
the moon 4nb Adams.
Nice fax.

768
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:40,500
Fax number two, Zack Snyder.
Fresh off his Smash Hit, just

769
00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:43,800
impeccable.
Masterpiece Watchman was

770
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,300
approached to direct an
adaptation of the Scott Pilgrim

771
00:42:46,300 --> 00:42:48,100
comic.
But a few years later, an

772
00:42:48,107 --> 00:42:51,300
interview, he said, and I'm
quoting Scott.

773
00:42:51,300 --> 00:42:54,800
Pilgrim wasn't exactly in my
wheelhouse and instead directed

774
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,600
a movie called Legends of the
Guardians of Ga'Hoole.

775
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,000
That's true.
He did do that movie.

776
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,500
Hmm.
Fact, number three, originally,

777
00:43:05,500 --> 00:43:08,500
the film only had a short title
card at the beginning.

778
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:14,200
However, legendary director
Quentin, Tarantino suggested to

779
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:18,500
Edgar Wright, really late into
post-production, that there

780
00:43:18,500 --> 00:43:22,300
should actually be like a
pre-title credit sequence.

781
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:25,000
That could almost be like a
prologue of sorts that

782
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,800
introduced the audience to the
characters Edgar Wright.

783
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,700
Thought was a phenomenal idea
and went with it, and that is

784
00:43:30,700 --> 00:43:32,500
what we have in the movie now.
Mmm.

785
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,200
Once again, man.
Really good job on this.

786
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,200
Thank you.
Huh.

787
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:48,900
I Zack Snyder thing is throwing
me because I really didn't like

788
00:43:48,900 --> 00:43:51,800
Watchman.
So this tells me that maybe Zack

789
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,400
Snyder.
Maybe this wasn't Zack, Snyder's

790
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:54,800
will house because he makes
movies.

791
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,400
I don't like, so this would have
been, it would have been right

792
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,700
in line with the Zack Snyder,
dude.

793
00:43:59,700 --> 00:44:03,500
I knew nothing about Watchman
and some of my friends in high

794
00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:06,100
school were like, hey, let's go
watch this comic book movie and

795
00:44:06,100 --> 00:44:09,900
I was like, yeah, sure why not
like at all the sudden there's

796
00:44:09,900 --> 00:44:14,200
just just Lou, you know what's
around us everywhere?

797
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,200
Just real blue.
Genitals, so Zack Snyder.

798
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,100
I didn't even mean to make this
a Zack Snyder thing.

799
00:44:21,500 --> 00:44:23,800
We're never going to do is X
matter movie, on this podcast,

800
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:29,600
probably but never never ever
Zack Snyder, makes movies for

801
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,100
people who have never thought
deeply about anything.

802
00:44:34,300 --> 00:44:38,700
And he makes them with just
enough style that they seem deep

803
00:44:38,700 --> 00:44:43,000
to those people and those people
only Bob you do know that we're

804
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,200
like monetizing now, and there
might be some people in our

805
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,100
audience that like him and you'd
probably like, I should, I

806
00:44:50,100 --> 00:44:51,200
should be.
All right.

807
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,900
Yeah, too many hot chicks today
for me, dude.

808
00:44:55,900 --> 00:44:58,300
I'm with you, man.
Like I remember watching 300 and

809
00:44:58,308 --> 00:45:01,900
high school and being like, wow,
that was like, kind of cool.

810
00:45:01,900 --> 00:45:05,600
Like, there's these Spartans
killing people and its history

811
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,600
and knee, but, but like, looking
back on it.

812
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,700
I'm like, that was a weird
movie, bro.

813
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,200
Yeah.
And there was like, is really

814
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,700
odd subsection of people that
thought that it was a

815
00:45:15,707 --> 00:45:20,100
masterpiece because it had the
look of a masterpiece to people

816
00:45:20,100 --> 00:45:22,200
who thought that, that's what a
masterpiece should look like,

817
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:23,800
you know what I mean?
Think that do you think that

818
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,500
they all liked like love Fight
Club as well?

819
00:45:27,900 --> 00:45:32,100
No comment.
All right, so if I think for me,

820
00:45:32,100 --> 00:45:35,600
it's either number two or number
three, that's the falsehood.

821
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,900
I don't remember reading
anything about Tarantino in

822
00:45:38,900 --> 00:45:41,200
regards to this movie, but I
also don't remember reading

823
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,500
anything.
Thing about Zack Snyder, it does

824
00:45:43,500 --> 00:45:47,400
seem like they could have
approached Zack Snyder about it.

825
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,200
I think it's probably more
likely that Tarantino had some

826
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,000
involvement with this then that
Zack Snyder did.

827
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,900
So I'm going to say to is the
falsehood and that's based on

828
00:45:57,900 --> 00:46:01,300
absolutely nothing.
Robert.

829
00:46:01,300 --> 00:46:04,000
You are 100% correct?
Yeah.

830
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,900
All right.
You got one man.

831
00:46:05,900 --> 00:46:11,000
Finally, I tried to throw you a
little bit with the the truth

832
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,500
that he He directed Guardians of
Ga'Hoole.

833
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,300
Yeah.
Because he did do that.

834
00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:18,300
However, he was never approach
to this movie, as far as I know.

835
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,500
I looked it up and it didn't say
anything about it.

836
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:23,600
Somebody's going to come at me
and be like, boobs.

837
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,300
We did talk to him about it but
I couldn't find anything online

838
00:46:27,300 --> 00:46:29,900
about it.
So you're correct.

839
00:46:29,900 --> 00:46:33,000
So Brad, as I think about this
movie, I have very little left

840
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:38,400
to say, however, and I don't
mean that as a - I just like I I

841
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:42,900
didn't think there was much
there behind This movie's cool

842
00:46:42,900 --> 00:46:45,500
visuals.
So I really struggled to find

843
00:46:45,500 --> 00:46:50,200
like back half of the episode
conversation but I do think that

844
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,400
it would be interesting to hear
us talk about or to hear you

845
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:58,700
talk about the movies that that
are spiritual cousins to this

846
00:46:58,700 --> 00:47:03,600
that we've done on the show.
So an eternal sunshine or 500

847
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,300
Days of Summer, or even to some
extent, like a Walter Mitty,

848
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,800
where he's daydreaming about
himself and it even kind of

849
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,400
reminds me a little bit of the
The Beatles musical across the

850
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,300
officers, who is sure he'll bit?
Yeah, I see, I think I'm

851
00:47:18,300 --> 00:47:22,500
thinking more in terms of like
that there is a male protagonist

852
00:47:22,500 --> 00:47:24,600
who needs to learn how to grow
up a little bit or like, come

853
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,100
into his own.
Yeah.

854
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,500
And I guess my question to you
is like, what makes this a

855
00:47:29,500 --> 00:47:33,600
successful, one of those movies
and where would you kind of rank

856
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,000
it among those films?
You know, based on the ones

857
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,300
we've watched for the show?
Well, definitely not as good as

858
00:47:39,300 --> 00:47:43,500
Eternal Sunshine, obviously.
Lee, not, not on that level of

859
00:47:43,500 --> 00:47:49,500
filmmaking.
I think that the reason I really

860
00:47:49,500 --> 00:47:55,500
enjoyed this movie is because
it's a highly stylized Cinema

861
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:01,300
with a really basic simple,
underlying story of like two

862
00:48:01,300 --> 00:48:05,100
people who are struggling in the
world to understand what love is

863
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:09,000
who have been burned in the past
who are like really cautiously

864
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,400
dancing around each other
throughout.

865
00:48:11,500 --> 00:48:15,100
The entirety of the film, and by
the end of it, they, they

866
00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:17,900
realized like, you know what,
like, let's give it a shot.

867
00:48:17,900 --> 00:48:21,500
Like this is, this is worth a go
and I think that, that's a

868
00:48:21,508 --> 00:48:25,100
really honest take of what
dating looks like in today's

869
00:48:25,100 --> 00:48:29,500
culture that there's just so
much trepidation and worried

870
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,300
about being hurt about how this
person will affect my sense of

871
00:48:35,300 --> 00:48:40,200
self-esteem.
And yeah, I think it's really

872
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:41,300
good.
I think the movie too.

873
00:48:41,900 --> 00:48:44,100
Talks before it was really
popular.

874
00:48:44,900 --> 00:48:49,200
It really takes on toxic
masculinity, which I know is

875
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:54,400
like a buzz phrase, nowadays,
but like, it just flat-out talks

876
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:59,800
about the fact that like Ramona
was controlled by a really evil

877
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,200
guy.
Yeah, who, who's not healthy for

878
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,900
her, and she isn't able to be
herself around him.

879
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:11,400
And so, I think that the battle
for her soul, if you could put

880
00:49:11,500 --> 00:49:14,900
That way is like really cool to
watch because in the midst of

881
00:49:14,900 --> 00:49:20,000
Scott, trying to help her, he
finds himself and she realizes

882
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,900
that she's worth fighting for
and that she's not just an

883
00:49:22,900 --> 00:49:26,000
object and she's not just, you
know, something to be

884
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,500
controlled.
And so I think in the midst of

885
00:49:28,500 --> 00:49:31,900
all of these other movies that
we've talked about where it's

886
00:49:31,900 --> 00:49:35,000
about, you know, somebody coming
up and learning more about them

887
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,600
self and, you know, young man, I
think that one of the reasons I

888
00:49:38,607 --> 00:49:41,300
like this movie is because it's
not just the young man.

889
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,200
Doing that.
It's also the young lady in

890
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:44,700
reality.
It's a good.

891
00:49:44,700 --> 00:49:47,900
So I yeah.
I think I'd put this pretty high

892
00:49:47,900 --> 00:49:49,600
up there.
Among the movies.

893
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,000
You said dead, obviously higher
than the Eternal Sunshine.

894
00:49:53,500 --> 00:49:56,200
What was what was the other one
you said on my mind is going

895
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,300
blank?
500 Days of Summer Walter Mitty.

896
00:49:59,900 --> 00:50:02,700
Yeah.
I think I'd put this above both

897
00:50:02,700 --> 00:50:05,400
of those.
Wow. 500 Days of Summer.

898
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,400
Would be the closest.
Walter Mitty is just one of the

899
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,500
most pretty movies we've ever
watched though.

900
00:50:10,500 --> 00:50:11,300
Yeah.
It's a really pretty.

901
00:50:11,900 --> 00:50:14,500
It's just gorgeous.
So yeah, I think I'd put this on

902
00:50:14,500 --> 00:50:17,400
top all those.
I think what we have discovered

903
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:22,100
here is like the alternate
universe version of Eternal

904
00:50:22,100 --> 00:50:26,400
Sunshine because we are going to
come out in like this, this is

905
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,300
to you.
What Eternal Sunshine is to me

906
00:50:29,300 --> 00:50:33,600
and vice versa, like I don't
care for this and you really

907
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,700
like it.
And essentially we were watching

908
00:50:35,700 --> 00:50:38,900
the same movie, like, you were,
you were very astute in pointing

909
00:50:38,900 --> 00:50:41,900
out that these are in many ways.
The same film That it's about

910
00:50:41,900 --> 00:50:44,500
people trying to forget their
exes or get over the damage of

911
00:50:44,500 --> 00:50:46,700
their exes.
It's about quirky people with

912
00:50:46,700 --> 00:50:51,300
colorful hair running around in
their own memories or fantasies

913
00:50:51,300 --> 00:50:53,500
or whatever.
And yeah, you know what?

914
00:50:53,500 --> 00:50:54,900
I'm realizing as you're saying
this.

915
00:50:55,100 --> 00:50:58,700
I think that the reason I like
this more than Eternal Sunshine

916
00:50:58,700 --> 00:51:00,900
because you're, right, it's the
exact same movie.

917
00:51:01,700 --> 00:51:07,700
Is the fact that this is fun,
and Eternal, Sunshine is just

918
00:51:07,700 --> 00:51:11,200
really depressing, and I love
Eternal Sunshine.

919
00:51:12,300 --> 00:51:15,200
Part itself.
So, seriously and part of my

920
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,900
point was going to be.
I love that last scene in

921
00:51:17,900 --> 00:51:20,800
Eternal Sunshine and again,
that's probably why I, like the

922
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,300
end of this movie so much better
than the rest of it.

923
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,500
Is that, you know, it mirrors
the end of Eternal Sunshine

924
00:51:26,500 --> 00:51:29,200
where Kate Winslet goes to Jim
Carrey's character and says

925
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,800
like, hey, why would you even
want to get back together with

926
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,000
me?
We don't even remember each

927
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,100
other at this point.
I'm probably going to do a bunch

928
00:51:35,100 --> 00:51:38,000
of effed up, things and make you
angry, and make you hate me.

929
00:51:38,300 --> 00:51:40,600
And he just Shrugged his
shoulders and says, okay.

930
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,900
And then she goes, okay and they
decide to try it again.

931
00:51:44,900 --> 00:51:48,300
And like that is, I mean, again,
it's essentially exactly what

932
00:51:48,300 --> 00:51:49,900
happens in the end of this
movie.

933
00:51:50,300 --> 00:51:52,900
So, we're talking about mirror
images of each other here.

934
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:57,200
And Jim Carrey is Canadian.
No.

935
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,700
There it is.
And this movie set in Canada.

936
00:51:59,700 --> 00:52:03,900
So they're twins.
All right, man, I think that

937
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:06,800
it's time for final scores.
Do you want me to get mine out

938
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,000
of the way?
First, or do you want to shed

939
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,300
some positivity here before I
come in with?

940
00:52:11,900 --> 00:52:15,200
Hard fist of reality.
Give your crappy score Bob, go

941
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:18,700
for it.
I think that until the last 20

942
00:52:18,700 --> 00:52:22,900
minutes of this movie, I was
prepared to say that my

943
00:52:22,900 --> 00:52:28,100
enjoyment level of the film was
like a three even while

944
00:52:28,100 --> 00:52:32,900
acknowledging like hey this is
better made than a 3 but I just

945
00:52:32,900 --> 00:52:36,400
don't think any of it works.
So I'm trying to hedge a little

946
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,200
bit here.
I'm going to say, I'm going to

947
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,200
give it a 5 and a half out of
ten.

948
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,500
And I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it.

949
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:46,300
Less than that.
Like I have enjoyed it like a

950
00:52:46,300 --> 00:52:50,500
four point five out of ten, but
I think that it is still well

951
00:52:50,500 --> 00:52:55,100
made enough to begrudgingly say
that it's just above the Midway

952
00:52:55,100 --> 00:52:57,900
point for me.
Is it just your bitterness

953
00:52:57,900 --> 00:53:01,400
towards like video games and the
fact that you got left behind so

954
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:07,500
long ago, I'm just I'm really
curious what I don't know.

955
00:53:07,700 --> 00:53:10,500
There's there's some bitterness
there somewhere but I haven't

956
00:53:10,500 --> 00:53:12,200
like mind.
Core of it yet.

957
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,400
So well well well do that in our
next counseling session?

958
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,000
Bob.
Absolutely I'll give this an 8

959
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,100
out of 10 Bob like it's, it's
solid.

960
00:53:21,100 --> 00:53:23,100
It's funny.
Yeah dude.

961
00:53:23,300 --> 00:53:27,300
Some of the lines in this like
when Ramona and Scott are just

962
00:53:27,300 --> 00:53:31,900
having a conversation about
garlic bread and Scott's like I

963
00:53:31,908 --> 00:53:33,400
would eat this literally all the
time.

964
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,600
If I could and Ramona's like,
well, then you get fat.

965
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,700
He's like, why would I get fat?
She was because bread makes you

966
00:53:39,700 --> 00:53:41,600
fat hit the way.
Way.

967
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:46,200
Michael Cera responds with bread
makes you fat and then boom, cut

968
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:50,200
your on to the next scene.
Like it's just a perfect moment

969
00:53:50,300 --> 00:53:53,400
to exemplify what Edgar Wright
does as a director.

970
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,900
And yeah, I think it's the
perfect illustration of like,

971
00:53:56,900 --> 00:54:01,100
why I love this movie.
It's kind of just inane and

972
00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:04,900
there's a lot of it that feels
like it's not building towards

973
00:54:04,900 --> 00:54:07,000
anything.
And yet by the end of the film,

974
00:54:07,100 --> 00:54:11,000
you are moved by the story that
he has told, and I really enjoy

975
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,800
that.
Is a movie, I could come back to

976
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,700
every like two or three years
and just have a few good laughs

977
00:54:15,700 --> 00:54:18,100
and enjoy it.
All right, so we're coming out

978
00:54:18,100 --> 00:54:21,300
to an average of a six point
five out of ten, but we'd like

979
00:54:21,300 --> 00:54:23,800
to know what you think.
If you've seen Scott Pilgrim, if

980
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,700
you want to rake me over the
coals, you can find us on social

981
00:54:26,700 --> 00:54:30,600
media, Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram and new Leon Tick-Tock

982
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,000
at film whiskey.
You can also find us on Discord.

983
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,400
If you've never heard of Discord
before, it is a really simple

984
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:41,200
platform where you can just chat
and talk to only the people you

985
00:54:41,300 --> 00:54:44,400
You want to talk to ma'am?
We need to get Discord to some

986
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,600
sponsor the show, right?
Some point because we love it.

987
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:49,300
Why?
I'm such a huge fan.

988
00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:53,500
It's a, it's a tight-knit
community of only the people you

989
00:54:53,500 --> 00:54:55,000
want to be in communication
with.

990
00:54:55,300 --> 00:54:58,000
So jump on our Discord.
It's a really fun.

991
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,200
As I said before, it's really
fun little corner of the

992
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,000
internet.
That's pretty uplifting.

993
00:55:02,500 --> 00:55:05,000
We have a good time there.
You can find a link to our

994
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Discord.
At the end of every single one

995
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,800
of our show notes.
Next week, we'll be back talking

996
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,900
about baby driver.
One of the first movies Brad and

997
00:55:12,900 --> 00:55:15,900
I ever bonded over.
I'm really excited to revisit

998
00:55:15,900 --> 00:55:20,700
that one, even though it's cast
is now a Minefield of of

999
00:55:20,700 --> 00:55:24,700
cancellations.
So we will talk about star Jamie

1000
00:55:24,700 --> 00:55:27,000
Foxx in that movie next week.
Yes.

1001
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,500
But and only talk about an only
Jamie Foxx, but until then I'm

1002
00:55:31,500 --> 00:55:34,900
Bob book, I'm Brad G and we'll
see you next time.
