I will also say that the interesting thing about this movie is that there's never a challenge to anyone that she's fighting, whether it's 700 people or a dozen of them on the roof. She seems to equally dispatch them all with, it's not like, oh shit, how am I going to get out of this one?

23:44Jason Mantzoukas:It's like, all right, let's do it. that just seems well that's why it felt to me like i was playing a video game sure like it's all lateral fights there's no it there it i guess there's a boss battle at the end but even that is also why did there were the whole time there were swords in the gun hilts the whole time she only used it in that one fight i'd be using i'd be activating sword hilt immediately why is everybody using swords too i'm sorry no nick did i cut you off about the vampires so she misses that one mutation but do we know anything else about i don't yeah i don't know what her liability like i know she apparently she's dying but i don't know what her liabilities are in terms of like Like what she loses from being a vampire.

24:33Jason Mantzoukas:She's dying, though, because everyone has a 12-year life sentence when you get this. That was one thing I remember. I think I remember hearing that once you get this bad blood, you got 12 years, and then you're done. So it is kind of an AIDS thing. Mitch was right. Yeah. I knew it. I knew it was an AIDS thing. Oh, boy. And it's kind of good if you think about it that way. I'm just thinking about this other thing. When they tell her not to look in the package, because she sneaks into this place and gets a package under false pretenses. We can get into that, too. By the way, I thought the real courier looked like a way bigger badass.

25:10Yeah. Than me and the Jovovich.

25:12Jason Mantzoukas:I would have liked to have seen her do some fight scenes. Yep. She opens up the case, and there's like a torso of a digital boy in there. In what looks like a very small book bag. Yes. Well, by the way, not a book bag, a briefcase. Yes. Because it's small. And then the boy is out of it. But at a point, it seemed like he was digital, right? It didn't seem like that was a real boy, right? But he really was in there, I think. Right? I mean, I don't know. He definitely came out of there. Wait. I don't mean to the question. Like, in the future, can you put real people in the size of a computer laptop?

25:53Jason Mantzoukas:It would be like putting me in there. Like, that is, like, they don't describe, like, anything about that. You could put people, like, Jetsons. I feel like this movie does a thing which is it establishes a bunch of, like, future tech and future stuff, but explains none of it. Which is what movie, it's like, it's like the opposite of world building. It's like they don't build a world that you understand the rules of. they're just like this is there and also this don't stress it but i would argue that without even having seen it if you were to walk into that new avengers movie that's going to come out infinity wars which is the culmination of 20 marvel movies you would go like i get what's going on here i understand on some level right that's a hero that person can fly that person gonna shoot lasers that's a green dude like uh like you would on a base level you'd understand it is that your understanding of the avengers i'm saying if you've never seen any i'm saying if you're if you're a person who's never seen any of them you would under like this felt like i'm up for it like i don't need that much rope just give me a little like let me come with you a little bit and they don't do anything like it was like you were watching like the seventh and final part of a series and you hadn't seen the previous six movies so you have any context for what was happening and also it's a bad series of movies right right and a lot of the series in between it's this ted talks about the technology not not only did it not describe new tech but then it also confused like vampire like the vampire world because the thing about vampires is they're immortal and i was like why were you afraid like they're afraid of bullets.

27:45I don't understand why they're afraid of bullets. Yeah, it seems like the vampires can be killed as easily as a man. Yeah. So why even be a vampire? And also, what's the problem with the vampires exactly? They don't seem to be attacking people or feasting on human blood or any of that. It seems like they just maybe want to tamper with the blood supply. Also, what's the blood supply? Why is there a building wherein all of our blood is kept? The clean blood. Our federal blood reserves?

28:21Jason Mantzoukas:Why would you need blood? If you had clean blood, why would you need clean blood? Why do we need that? Because it doesn't seem like you could uninfect yourself, right? Do you have to receive continual transfusions to not catch the virus? Is it that kind of thing? I was going to say that guy should get it, but that guy was like, no, I need to become a vampire to become a super great scientist. I don't know. I did write down, just to write down this thing, that scene that we played earlier where they talk there. I would say that's the most dialogue you're going to get for 25 solid minutes. I wrote it down like when dialogue Continued again It was 25 minutes into a movie And if a movie has an hour and 22 minutes That's bold To almost go a half hour Without any dialogue I wonder if they shot dialogue scenes And were like this isn't working You know what's working?

29:21The very slow Plotting fight scenes I do have

29:27Jason Mantzoukas:Some information about it Oh, thank God. So the studio did not like the first version of the film. I would argue I did not like the final version. The studio said the... I am in agreement with the studio. The original version was too emotional, and they wanted more action. So they took a 120-minute movie and cut it down to 88 minutes. and uh and yeah and that's that's what we do know there was a 120 minute cut and then they reached a compromise which was an extended version of the film which added five minutes what studio was this um green gems screen gems yeah green gems this i mean there's a lot of i think a lot of interesting things here uh the director of this movie uh created something called Gun Kata, which is not a real thing.

30:28Jason Mantzoukas:It's a unique blend of fighting with guns and martial arts, and that's what he developed. And apparently, he didn't think that Milo was bringing it, and so he wanted to, he's like, you gotta show me your intensity. So she just punched him in the face. And he directed it with a black eye for quite some time. So that's a little background of what was going on here so wait is he saying because when i think of gun kata like that to me sounds like that that's probably something that originated like in hong kong in the 90s and then it was brought stateside in like the matrix right like is he claiming credit for that he says he has created gun kata oh so he's saying in this movie this is something new he well he directed another film called equilibrium okay the one with christian braille with kung fu and guns.

31:20Jason Mantzoukas:So he's like, gunkata, I've created this, even though The Matrix has been out at this point. Telling me after this movie, this person made more movies? You're telling me that Christian Bale watched this movie? And was like, yeah, I'll do the next one. I'm in. Well, this guy has written a lot of movies, and I'll give you the rundown of them. Sphere, Thomas Crown Affair, The Recruit, Law Abiding Citizen, Salt, Total Recall, Point Break, the new one, and a movie called Double Trouble, which I remember as a kid starring the Barbarian Brothers. Do you remember the Barbarian Brothers? Did he do the new, oh, yes, Verhoeven did the old one.

32:03Jason Mantzoukas:So these are all the ones. He basically reboots. He does all the reboots of these movies. Oh, they're all bad. Yeah, they are. They all are. Yeah, I mean, oh, boy. I was thinking of that little kid. Six. Six, yeah. And I was just like, remember how hard it was for Jake Lloyd with episode one or something? I just can't imagine what world this boy lives in now being six from this movie. Do you think that would fuck with you, or do you just not care at all that you were in this movie? There were times where I felt as though she was about to kiss him.

32:46Anybody else with me on that? didn't you feel like this is like she's about to make out with this kid and I felt like the kid knew it right do you think that

33:00Jason Mantzoukas:I think that would really mess with you do you think that she confused like when they're like you love him like a mother she's like like love him like kiss him like she just couldn't get that like that subtle right alright this is a romantic thing got it yeah that's what they meant like too emotional in the two hour cut because there were sex scenes oh my god Jesus Christ did I did I lose you guys I honestly it would be interesting if they did hook up kind of there was nothing going like they sell they give a boy in a suitcase in the beginning and then he almost he almost commits suicide he's standing on a round railing yes he's just like standing upright on a round railing I was like does the kid have superpowers Well, the kid is revealed to have nothing at the end, right?

33:50Okay, remember when she walks away from the kid in the mall or whatever? And then she hears a single gunshot. She comes back, and they're scanning a dead kid body that looks like him. They're like, it's not him. So did he kill a kid? Did he kill a kid who looks exactly like him? No, I think someone else, I think another kid was given the coat that he had because the coat was taken off, right? And then that kid was mistaken as the kid by security. And security killed him. So they got an innocent child. An innocent child was killed, yeah. I cared more for the kid who was killed than the weirdo kid.

34:23I know, I felt bad for him. Oh, yeah. I wanted the weirdo kid to die before the innocent boy. I don't think, it was tough to tell what Mila's position was on whether the kid lived or died. Because she saved him from the suicide attempt. But then she abandons him in the store. And then at one point, or in the mall. And then at one point she turns to him and says to the bull boy she's protecting, if we're cornered, I will kill you. It's like, wait, you're escorting this guy to keep him from being captured? You're going to kill him instead of handing him over?

34:53Jason Mantzoukas:And again, I want to just parse out the plot as I understand it. Please correct me where I'm wrong. She infiltrates the company that is trying to eliminate people like her, right? The home hemophages, right? I am going to disagree for a moment. I don't know that it's a company. I think it's the government. I think it is, yeah. But I think it is religious. Right. Because it is almost like papal, and it's like the Vatican in its modeling. There's a very subtle thing you may have missed where the architecture of the building is constructed in the shape of a crucifix, which, yeah, I think gives some credence to your theory.

35:37There's something there. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something.

35:40Jason Mantzoukas:It feels coincidental. I feel like that. I think you guys are ready to get to it a little bit. And there's also a moment near the end where she gets stigmata in front of a glowing cross. I was like, what the fuck is this movie doing? All right. So she is, well, basically, we can all agree. Let's try to walk it through and see where. Yeah. We can all agree that she is going there to stop the government from releasing this boy. A weapon. No, a weapon is all she knows. A weapon. She's going to kill a weapon. That will kill all the people like her infected with a bad boy. The hemophages. Yeah. So that's the first part of it.

36:19Jason Mantzoukas:She gets it. She opens it up, realizes it's a boy. They tell her under no circumstances is she to open the package. Right. Which she does immediately. She sees the boy, and then she's like, oh, this reminds me of the son that I never had because when I was pregnant. I got this and I lost my baby so then she's like you're going to be my son now these are not lines of dialogue I mean this is an easier to understand version of the film so she's like that's her runner so then she goes back to her bosses and she's like I'm not giving you this kid because what were her bosses going to do? Her bosses were the dreadlock vampires right?

37:04and the handsome man who drops down from the vent at one point and gets the kid like perfectly. As if he knew the kid would be like wandering by that one spot where he could be like, boop, boop.

37:19Jason Mantzoukas:Sometimes I wanted to see like that movie where it's like, alright, so I'll go up in the vent and I'll wait. Just try to get the kid like roughly in this area and I'll drop and then he's up there waiting and I think I hear him. But, um, but All right, so she's like, I'm not going to give him to my bosses because they're going to kill him. Okay, so then the government is chasing after her to get him back because they want to kill everybody. And then, but then the head bad guy's like, don't kill him. He's my clone. Yeah. And it's the opposite of what you thought. Right. It's not going to kill all the vampires.

38:01It's going to kill all the humans unless they get, they line up to buy the antidote that we have made, right?

38:12Jason Mantzoukas:Yeah. From the baby boy. Also, who gives them? It is an AIDS parable. It is, in a lot of ways. But she's often... Is she Martin, is the government Martin Skrelly? Who's jacking up the price of an anti-AIDS drug? This movie is really ahead of its time.

38:37Jason Mantzoukas:Did you guys see that testimony this week? No. So he's on trial, and they were interviewing jurors. And they're like, oh, what do you know about that guy? And they're like, oh, I know he jacked up the price of the Wu-Tang album. And they're like, could you judge this guy fairly? He's like, I don't know. He looks like a dick. Like one of the jurors say he looks like a dick. That is a fair assessment. in there there is there is some like weird like like trumpian like she's like i could never give you this world and they're looking like at like a 1950s picture do you know what i'm talking about right it's like a 1950s like old ford i'm like what why do they care about i don't know how far in the future is but why do they want to go back to a time when like it was like like there were model t's and and like sock hops it seems like that world is so far removed from what they want yeah they're in a CGI world they're in a CGI world like 1950s is where they want to go back it doesn't it didn't make any sense why did they go to the playground and then they go to a playground they ride a merry-go-round I thought for sure that was a fantasy sequel I thought it was a fantasy or a flashback no they're really in a fucking playground like on a on a tilt-a-whirl or whatever it is which is very romantic he falls off and she like falls on top of him Yeah.

39:57Tussles his hair. I thought it was a flashback. I thought it was a flashback to a scene that they had decided to cut from the movie. Like they were just like trying to flashback by implication this happened earlier. But it's like, no, wait, this chronologically is happening. This is in sequence. So then how did they get to this playground? I couldn't figure it out.

40:18Jason Mantzoukas:And it didn't seem like that was a world where playgrounds even happened. Right. I didn't see any green grass areas. They were, I think, on top of a building. it zooms out and they're on top of a building. Wait, on the playground? Yeah, isn't the playground on top of a building? Is that right? It might have. I think it was on top of, I think it was like a building. I don't understand what this was. Wait, guys, I just looked at one of my notes. We haven't even talked about the blood chinois. Oh, yeah. People applaud for the blood chinois. They control the top ten floors of this building. from what what do you mean that building is basically a gangster's building hemophages on the first few floors and the blood chinois above what is happening and blood chinois are different than hemophages right and not all hemophages are vampires right i feel like there is some because they were like you're not like us so i don't know she seems she seems to kind of like them.

41:21She's like, don't do this.

41:24Jason Mantzoukas:Yeah, she doesn't want to kill the blood chin wash. And then she does. And she kills all of them, right? They're just all dead. And that's it? Well, I mean, again, you pointed it out. Their formation was shit. They literally got in a circle and all started firing. She basically dances in the middle of a party circle while they all try and shoot her and shoot each other. So it's like a dance at a bar mitzvah. Only she's like jumping around in the middle and they're all like, bang, oh, no. I feel like this movie is like people trying to read, like, oh, what is that? Everyone, like, reads that book that he wrote.

42:01Jason Mantzoukas:Infinite Jest. Infinite Jest, yes. I feel like, and everyone's like, I get it, but no one wants to admit, like, I don't know what I just read. And everyone's like, I'll do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So put Chinois, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I'm mad at them. No, I'm into them. Okay, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. I get it, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no one wanted to look stupid on set. So we're always like, oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, sure, sure. On eBay, every find has a story. Like if you're looking for a vintage band tee, the one you wore everywhere until you lost it, now you're on eBay. And there it is.

42:35Jason Mantzoukas:The things you love have a way of finding their way back to you, especially on eBay. From rare collectibles and vintage cars to designer fashion, it's all there. Shop eBay for millions of finds, each with a story. eBay. Things people love.

45:37The Blood Chinois is the most confusing fucking thing. They're mentioned on the subway at one point. There's Blood Chinois, but I think that's the only other reference mentioned on the subway? I think so. A passerby? Who mentions them?

45:49Jason Mantzoukas:Did you see the Blood Chinois game last night? That was my favorite. The head of the Blood Chinois stands there and she moves out of the way and he screams and gets shot in the face. By the way, that was my favorite thing about this movie. When people got killed, it was so like they were all upset about it. They were like, It was so like They really took in their death. They're like, fuck. You really felt like they were upset. It was not their times. They were abrupt and reactionary. The body count in this movie, because a number of times they tell us how many soldiers are on site, and she appears to kill everyone.

46:35I'm going to guess she is responsible for 1 ,500 deaths in this movie.

46:44Jason Mantzoukas:well doesn't she go like this like she goes if you're gonna come here you gotta fight 700 guards and she's like all right she's like right yeah she's like i'm on my way yeah she gets there and there she's like it's too many guards and then a minute later she's like no i'll do it anyways yeah there's zero tension about any of that because she's just invincible she just got god mode turned on i don't know why that's the thing is i never could figure out why she was invincible. What was making her better at fighting than any of the other people were? Yeah, she didn't seem to have she wasn't like the one.

47:22Yeah, she wasn't like Neo or something. She didn't have access to a greater consciousness or a greater understanding or better fight programming. I don't know what. Can I go to bat for one thing in the movie? Yeah, please. The paper phones were kind of cool.

47:36Jason Mantzoukas:I love that. The paper phones were nice and I feel like they could be something someday or the paper phone was really cool and what I really liked in the paper phone was like when she could talk to people if you're talking to them you could pull your own zoom so like she's talking to a guy he's like normal size and then like the guy clearly hit a button on his end and his face was like a giant face like it could be a little bit more intimidating and I was like oh I like that that'd be fun that was head villain Daxus that his head got very big. But he could tell. He was like, oh, yeah, I'll hit this for emphasis.

48:13Jason Mantzoukas:That's a good moment. It was like, yeah, I like that. It was a Force Awakens. Nick and I have argued in Force Awakens there's a bad guy named Snoke. Yes, I was going to say it's Snoke-like. It's Snoke-like, and we don't know if Snoke is big or small, which I think will be revealed in the newest one if he's big or small. I realized after I sent it to you, I should have maybe told you it could have been a spoiler. Oh, I don't care. But there was a new toy release where they put Snoke next to a few different people. And he just seems to be like. Eight feet tall of him. Yeah. Like, yeah, just eight feet tall.

48:45Jason Mantzoukas:He's eight feet tall? Yeah. That's the worst answer of all. It's kind of the least interesting choice. You want to be very big or very small. It would be fun if he was tiny. Or legitimately that big. Like eight inches tall? Like eight inches tall? I wanted him to be tiny, too. I wanted him to be a little bit. That would be amazing if he's like super, super uncomfortable about how tiny he is. that's why in Force Awakens he's gigantic

49:09Jason Mantzoukas:oh there was one thing I wanted to play here was it the ponytail dreadlocks fight? yes oh yeah here's the thing if you're going to be some sort of martial arts like hemophage fighter keep your hair in check yeah dreads are not good in a fight so this is a We're as fast as you. We're as strong as you. Yeah. But are you one tenth as pissed off as I am?

50:01Jason Mantzoukas:That was the sound of dreadlocks being ripped out of someone's head after she took someone else's rat tail and choked them with it. You know the screenwriter was like, I fucking nailed it to that, right? Babe, babe, you gotta read these pages I wrote today. This is fucking great shit. it's also it seemed like the dreadlocked man was trying to whip his dreadlocks at her as if it was a weapon of some kind by the way I just realized her superpowers she's pissed off right because like we're as fast as you and she's like yeah but you're not as pissed so like that's her she's a pissed off vampire why does everybody know who she is she's like she's like everybody calls her Violet or V everybody knows her by name some people call her her full name which is like four different names violet song jet sheriff great that's her full name song jet yeah song jet sheriff everybody seems to know her but why what what what role or place does she hold in this society she doesn't see me like she should have been like the one like she should have been like working we should have just established she worked for the government she killed like hemophages and now she's like against them or now she's sure what herself is a hemophage she's she's kind of established as like this chameleon like she can change her hair color and clothes color at will and then she goes she info i don't know i don't know what that doesn't make sense i don't know why can she do that i she can i don't know yeah there's no reason well she changes like her form the same way like in the x-men And, you know, it's like, why am I forgetting that character's name?

51:53Jason Mantzoukas:Mystique? Mystique, yeah. And that's interesting because she could be Professor Xavier. She could be Wolverine. But Mystique doesn't just go from blue to purple or to pink. Hair. It's all hair and clothes. Yeah. It's not her skin. She can't look like anybody else. She always has her bangs. And she always has the same format of hair and clothing. It just changes color. I really did not care for this. Let's go to the audience here and see if you guys have any questions. All right. Let's see. All right, sir. Your name and your question. Go ahead. My name is Andrew. Okay. Checks out. Yeah. So my big question is just like, okay, so the guy, like, he cuts his hand on the thing.

52:44how is this disease like transmitted because none of the protective equipment makes any sense in this movie the dude has like the nose thing that would be like an air thing right yeah but he's breathing through his mouth right if it's airborne he's getting it yeah but andrew i think you're forgetting the nose thing is cool question mark oh and it's from the comic book but even then okay you know uh even then there's that one guy with the sizzler fucking sneeze guard thing yeah right no news thing he's just breathing in whatever's there yeah it lives in a world

53:30Jason Mantzoukas:where oxygen can be blocked by like plastic that's not necessarily like yeah well i feel like the What you don't want is to get the blood on you. But, okay, yeah, here's the thing. Don't point at me. Sorry. I apologize. I don't know what podcast you think you're at. Do not point at me, Andrew. Sorry. If they're afraid of, like, the blood thing, why do they make her sign in blood to pick up the package and then, like, you know, stab a garden hose? That was a really wide thing they shoved into both of her wrists. Yeah. After having things shoved into her eyeballs, they're basically sticking her like they're sucking blood out.

54:21They're basically like clockwork oranging her. But if it's all blood transmitted, why would you sign in blood for things? I think that's the point. They want access to your blood so they can tell you're not a hemophage.

54:34Jason Mantzoukas:But when that other guy has a little bit of blood, they shoot him in the head. Yeah. Why would you ever be like... I mean, it's like, you better sign a contract or get shot. Like, that's it. That's the only two... There's no contracts around. You're going to get killed. I think Andrew's point, yeah, if you had... You would think that a company or organization that has a building in the shape of a biohazard symbol would know what a biohazard suit was. they might have had the nose guards in the mouth like in their throats because we never see inside their mouths to be fair we never see inside their mouths I could honestly say that we that's true for most movies I love I love that you are giving them the benefit of the doubt this movie specifically you don't see inside anyone's mouth and there could be a throat there could be a throat filter of some sort like the nose filter Yeah, so yeah.

55:30Jason Mantzoukas:So shut up. Yeah, so fuck you, Andrew. All right, your name, your question. My name is Anna, and I was kind of confused as to why the briefcase was so important, but they were going to blow it up in nine hours. Right. So I guess they needed to bring the briefcase to a place, but if it didn't get there, it would have blown up. This reminded me a little bit of Escape from L.A., like when they give him the flu or whatever. And it's like, well, it seems like an arbitrary clock on this. Wait, is the kid going to die? The kid is going to die. They do say, Wolln-Vickner says that, and he says it in a way because this is a child.

56:14He's revealing the news that this child is going to die in eight hours. So just like the gravest emotional card you can play in a work of fiction. and the way he says it, the line he says to deliver this news to Ultraviolet is, kids toast to V. Yeah. This nine-year-old boy is going to die in eight hours. Kids toast to V. Can I quickly go back to the hair fight for a second? Yeah, of course. I just thought it was so, it's the first, it's a heavily accent Jamaican man. And there was, Oh, no. No, this is a good point. Cut his mic. Get rid of him. We had never met a Jamaican man before, right, in the movie.

57:04And then it's a heavily accent Jamaican man just so they can have the dreadlocks fight, I feel like. Never before. Like, you never meet a Jamaican man. And then he's like, V. And then, of course, it's a dreadlock fight. I just thought it was kind of racially insensitive, I guess, is what I'm trying to say.

57:21Jason Mantzoukas:I agree. I agree. I agree. All right, sir, your name, your question. My name's Jonathan. I was kind of alluding to what they were saying. Is this movie supposed to take place in the span of, like, nine hours or something like that? Yes. Generally? She built a bond with this kid, and, like, all this stuff happened. It's flashbacks. There's all this weird shit happening, and it's like, nine hours? You built this bond? All this happened in nine hours? She kills 1 ,500 people in nine hours. Yeah, no nighttime pass. Like, they never, like... The kid slept for like two hours, right? That cuts down on the time.

57:53That's like seven. What are they doing?

57:56Jason Mantzoukas:Like, I feel like she's like a psycho mom. Like, she's like, you're my child now. And I guess, like, if I was to just give it one small note, I would say she should have had a child that looked like this kid. and then at least you could understand like oh she's like putting that on it but she was just pregnant she never even had it was going to be revealed to be her kid anybody else oh man so badly that was going to be the reveal was that somehow she had given birth to this very important child and they had told her that it had died and they had given her this disease and blah blah blah that's structurally worked for me, but that's not what this was.

58:44No. And you could argue that she should have let him jump off of the railing. The kid's life would have been easier.

58:52Jason Mantzoukas:But yet they're just going to keep on going and that's how the movie ends. Like, we're going to continue to fight. No, the kid dies. I thought they go away. Wait, does he die? I thought he lived. He dies, but then she goes back. Remember that Drax is about to saw into the kid's head. Yeah. But because her tear dripped on him, she turned him into a hemophage. Yeah. Which apparently does make you immortal in some way. Somehow allows him to be quote unquote reborn. And on the third day, he rose.

59:27Jason Mantzoukas:It's your typical Christ AIDS story. Yes, who had the question here? Matt. Question. I feel like every scene was from a different movie. Every scene followed different rules. And my main point is when they fight in the blood, Chinoas, she could avoid every bullet. And then a few scenes later, she's in a mall and bumping into people left and right. Whichever way she walked in the mall, all foot traffic was going the opposite way. A, B, she is the only person in this society not wearing a face mask. C, she is the only person wearing sunglasses. She's visible constantly, no matter what she changes about her hair or her clothing color.

1:00:17Jason Mantzoukas:Oh, no, she's just a girl with orange hair. We were going after a girl with pink hair. Look for the woman in sunglasses. There she is. Yeah, your name, your question. My name's Lauren. My question is, is half of this movie, like, out of focus? Everyone looks like a melting wax figure the whole time. Like, she doesn't have a nose for half the movie. It is a good point. I wrote down, like, it felt like someone saw Sin City and was like, I want to do that. But worse. Yeah. But it feels like it was a choice, but it was like they didn't have the technology right or something. It's airbrushed. That's what it feels like, right?

1:00:59They made a really strong choice when she catches the rope and then rope burn like fire comes out of her hand. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Her hand, like that doesn't happen, does it? Yeah, it would. Does smoke comes out of your hand like that? No, no. I just think blood and flesh would shoot out. Also an indoor well. Yes. Well, that's the future for you. Yeah, there's a stained glass room with a well inside. A well that is incredibly deep. Right.

1:01:33Jason Mantzoukas:All right, so your name, your question. My name is Tom. Jason's kind of right about Six. Fuck yeah, I am. According to Kurt Wimmer, I'd like to share a little trivia. He has stated the film was directed in such a way as to allow for an alternative theory about the story. In this theory, the character of Six is actually Violet from the future, who comes back after a cure for hemophagia has been developed. This explains how Six has the cure and nobody else does. It also explains why Violet is so adamant about protecting a human, despite her goal in life being to kill them all from the trailer. What?

1:02:10The theory also explains why Six often disobeys Violet and leads where they go. Six is Violet? Yes! Six remembers how things happen in the original timeline and can prevent them from occurring this time around. Six is very much a boy, right?

1:02:30Jason Mantzoukas:Wow, that's a real... Wait, does that presuppose that Daxus is lying when he says it's his clone or that Daxus is mistaken? I think that Daxus is always lying. I think this boy just showed... If that's true, this boy showed up from the future, what? fuck now listen believe me you had me at Jason was right but but where you lost me was everything you said afterwards but by the way he's just reading I like that it said like the director says open to interpretation this fucking giant theory that's so complex it's like it's not like oh yeah in Breaking Bad like maybe Walter White died when the keys came down from the thing at the end.

1:03:17Jason Mantzoukas:No, it's like, that's like a small moment. This is like, oh yeah, if you just revamped the whole thing and fan fictioned it, it could be something. Well, that's like the director being like, oh no, there are people who have theories that make sense of this nonsense. And I left the movie purposefully open to that by making it make no sense. Your name and your question. Hi, I'm Carly. So you were wondering why when he was taken out of the suitcase, why he was all like pixely or whatever. She had put like a projector thing on him, like for safety. And then when she ran out and grabbed him, I was like, what?

1:03:56And she goes, I'm taking you with me, don't think about it. And then, and I felt like she was saying that to the audience, just like. But that's, okay, see, I felt like that. I felt like that in the scene, a couple of scenes earlier where she says, you might as well turn this off.

1:04:17Jason Mantzoukas:stop watching this movie um don't don't bother no but i i hear what you're saying but she did open it before she brought it to the bad guys and he was pixelated there right so do you remember earlier when they were taking the sword out of that guy it was all kind of pixely as it was coming out so maybe when things are like in the dimensional compression or whatever they're Pixely. Got it. I know the movie is also open to an interpretation of the shared universe with the Adam Sandler movie Pixels. So there is a little thing like a big giant Pac-Man running around. Yeah, that explains the post-credit scene where Josh Gad fucks Q-Bert.

1:04:57It happens in Pixels. See Pixels for that. Josh Gad fucks Q-Bert in Pixels. And then he has Q-Bert baby. They have Q-Bert babies. Wait, they are genetically compatible? Qbert takes on the form of a woman. Go ahead. Qbert takes on the form of a sexy video game babe and then Wait, what? Because wait a minute. Qbert is already sexy as So he becomes even sexier or she? He becomes like a blonde babe like warrior lady. Qbert does. Qbert does. Like as a gift for Josh Gaffer helping like defeat the aliens. Why would the aliens help him? Whatever. And then Qbert changes into this woman and they get, I guess, get married and they have Qbert babies together.

1:05:45Like, the weird thing is, is that when they fuck, the babies that come out of the woman Wait, they come out immediately? Do you watch them fuck? You don't watch them fuck. It's implied. It's implied.

1:05:58Jason Mantzoukas:And I'm sorry, not to beat a dead horse here, but Qbert is still in the shape of Qbert. So the babies look like Qbert. The babies are half Qbert, half Gad. No, wait, what? It's like a hot lady. Yeah, Q-Bert. Okay, so. No, wait, that's not real, is it? Q-Bert has the genetic. Q-Bert is in the physical form of a hot lady, but still has the genetic material. Yes, Q-Bert. Q-Bert size-wise. Q-Bert is little. He's like Q-Bert size versus human proportions, but can like gross to giant size. So when Gat fucks Q-Bert, he's fucking somebody of equal status. He's fucking a lady that's the same size as him.

1:06:32Jason Mantzoukas:Is it a cameo or is it just an attractive lady? It's just an attractive lady. Okay, yeah. But it's still anime. Qbert is the camera. No, it's a human actor. And so he has sex with a normal lady, and then she immediately gives birth to Qbert baby. There's a time jump. You're saying the gestation period for a Gad Qbert baby is moments? Well, there's a time jump. There's a time jump. I want to discuss Qbert and Gad until everyone just leaves the theater. Oh, my God. I gotta watch Pixels. That was in the script and people were like, we're gonna make this. You guys have to come back when we do that movie.

1:07:17And the Q-Berts are wearing diapers, right? Yeah, they're like baby Q-Berts. They're baby Q-Berts. So she kept this DNA of Q-Bert. Which is weird if you think about it because then he is fucking Q-Bert. It is Q-Bert.

1:07:29Jason Mantzoukas:It's just Q-Bert in disguise. Wait, does Gad fall in love with Q-Bert? No. No. He's attracted to the video game. He falls in love with the video game. She gets killed. And then they win. Like they beat the pixel aliens. And then as a gift, they transform Qbert, who was kind of like the funny sidekick this entire time, into the form of that attractive woman. So that Gad can get his dick wet? Yeah. And then Gad, I guess, marries her, has sex with her, and gives birth to Qbert babies. This is troubling on many levels. Does Q-Bert want any of this? The picture you're taking... Oh, yeah, you're right.

1:08:12I didn't even think about that. Aliens come down and are like, you're a lady now. He loves the lady. You got to do this, Q-Bert. Like, is this... Does Q-Bert want any part of this? Actually, I don't know. That's a great question. I don't know what Q-Bert's agency is exactly. He might be stuck in like a hell where Josh Gad is fucking him. Do you think they... Like, how many different video game companies do you think they went to to make that ask? Like, do they start with, like, Donkey Kong? And they're like, oh, yeah, we're open to it. Okay, he turns into a lady, and then Gad fucks Donkey Kong.

1:08:44He's like, no. Wait, what? Okay, Sonic the Hedgehog. Starts with Sonic the Hedgehog. The makers of Joust are even like, you know what?

1:08:50Jason Mantzoukas:We want to keep Joust pure. We're pretty proud of the BurgerTime chef. He's off the table for this. Is it Namco? It came this close to getting Dig Dug, but we lost him at the last minute. Let us guess. Scad's going to fuck Cuber. He couldn't figure out how to get his dick past that very airtight costume that he's wearing in Dick Duff. Wasn't Qbert also like a homeless degenerate in Wreck-It Ralph? Oh, right. Yeah, that's right. What, Qbert? Qbert in all senses of like representation. Qbert lives a harrowing existence. Like I was going to say, Qbert is like the vanilla ice of the video game world.

1:09:29Jason Mantzoukas:Like, yeah, I'll do it. A home improvement, Joe? You got it. What do you got? Yeah, I'm in. I'm pretty sure there is a scene where Vanilla Ice and Qbert are probably in frame together in the movie. Really? I think Vanilla Ice is in it, right? Vanilla Ice is now in more and more Sandler movies. What is happening? Sir, your name and your question. Okay. Luke? So in the movie it explains that Daxus is the vice cardinal. Where's the cardinal? Interesting. Are they setting up for a sequel? They clearly are setting up for a sequel. The one thing about this movie poster is it looks like all of her movies, too.

1:10:18Jason Mantzoukas:She's been in a lot of movies, I feel like, where she's just got swords or guns. She's Final Death. No, not Final Death. Resident Evil. Resident Evil, thank you. I love all of those Resident Evil movies. That's cool, man. What's happening right now? Are we just hanging out now? Are we just having a cool bro? Are we bro-ing out? What's happening? So maybe that's a good call. That is a good call. There might be a... What else are you up to, bro? I kind of like the Resident Evil movies, too. I'm with you. I've never seen one. I mean, they're not great. they're bad but they're so much better than ultraviolet they were i mean they're fun they're fun it's it's easier to wrap your mind around because there's at least an existing property you can kind of like okay this even though this is doesn't have much to do with the video games umbrella corporation resume but this is like something i know what this is yeah yeah yeah well i would even i would even like hearken to guess that there's like a uh a plot like you know like these things are out and you got to kill them and then it'll be okay, right?

1:11:29Jason Mantzoukas:Like here, I don't even know what, I don't even really understand what's going on. We tried to like go from A to B. I don't know. I don't know what's happening here. On the way to the theater tonight, I ran a stop sign and I almost got into a terrible car accident. And I didn't tell you this before the show because I wanted to surprise you that I nearly died. died. Cool. Thanks. And literally the last thing I would have done was to see ultraviolet. On the recumbent bike. On a recumbent bike that didn't work. The guy put the seat on upside down. What? He put the back of the seat on upside down.

1:12:15Yeah, he put it on upside down. Also, I paused this movie so many times. It's It's an hour and 20 minutes. And I pause it so many times. I finished right before I left. And the last thing, you would have to lie to my mom or something and tell her I was doing something different. Yeah, he died jacking off.

1:12:35Jason Mantzoukas:That's less embarrassing. I fell asleep five times in the final 10 minutes. I was like, what is going on with me? Once the lights went out and they got into the flaming swords I was like Who cares? I couldn't keep my eyes open and it was early June was having some sort of meeting in the living room and I'm watching it I feel like it was like 8.30 I watched it in the morning I watched it Friday morning when I got up and I was kind of like when you told me what the movie was I was like, oh, you know what? I like dumb action movies. This will be, I like Mila Jova. This will be fun. And eight minutes in, I said aloud to nobody, this movie sucks.

1:13:29Jason Mantzoukas:Well, let's see what the actors have to say about it. This is, I think, will give us a little bit of insight on this. Here we go. Who's this guy? I think this is the inventor of Gunkata, the writer. I can't think of a better person to direct the movie because it clearly is so in his head from the beginning to end. Kurt managed to combine the underlying story, which has multiple themes, and he did it in a way which breaks the convention of the genre. It's all in his vision, everything, every set piece, costume, everything. I mean, you wrote it, it's very specific of what it is, what his intention is, the story that he wants to tell.

1:14:12I heard that Kurt actually wrote the script for me, which is really flattering. and exciting. So I was like, you know, shook hands and said, all right, see you in Shanghai. So it's been over a year now that I've been preparing. The way, the way William Fickner was describing that of like, it's all his vision was so clearly placing the blame on him.

1:14:37Jason Mantzoukas:He's like, yeah. And even the producers like, you know, he's got it in his head. Everything is in his head and we were privy to it. Please, please. I feel like everyone makes a gamble on people like this because they're like, it could be the next Matrix. I don't know. I don't fucking know. I feel like everyone thinks that they have the next Matrix when they can't understand it. But what you forget to realize is the Matrix made total sense. It was cool ideas. It was just very simple storytelling. Yes. With the cool ideas around it. It was never like, wait, so the baby and what? and the blood. You can describe the Matrix so simply.

1:15:19Jason Mantzoukas:Matrix 1. Yes. Oh. Matrix 2 and 3. Once we get to the rave, I genuinely don't know up from down. What happens at the test screening of a movie like this? Do they test it? Oh, yeah, I'm sure that's when they went from 120 minutes to 88. So all the notes, the comment cards they were getting back were like too easy to follow? makes too much sense whatever you do don't reshoot a frame of this to make sense show her reloading more and also shooting a gun like she's throwing stuff

1:16:02you're not throwing the bullets out of the gun

1:16:07Jason Mantzoukas:this is another little thing here that I thought was interesting. The film creates a fictional Asian race that speaks a fictional language called Thalandi, which is just Vietnamese.

1:16:24So it's a fictional language that is only the actual language Vietnamese. Yep. Which people speak that? I think that

1:16:33Jason Mantzoukas:may be the... The Bloc Chinois? The Bloc Chinois, okay. But that to me is the shittiest thing of all time. I was like, yeah, it's a fictional language. I would like a prequel movie. I want a prequel movie that is just the blood chinois. Oh, wait. There's one thing I just remembered. Yeah. Is there, does she have inner dialogue just once in the entire movie when she drops? No, at the end as well. Oh, okay. Right? Halfway through the movie. There's a voiceover at the end too, right? Yeah. Because when she drops off the kid in the mall, she's like, wait, what am I doing? And you're like, what? I had to be like, did her mouth move?

1:17:11Am I having a stroke on this recumbent bike?

1:17:23Jason Mantzoukas:Obviously, we had an opinion about this. Were you upset that you would die in your car wreck instead of at the hands of Nick Weiger? I'd much rather have Weiger kill me at some point, which you will. I went easy on you tonight. I was going to talk about how you would have loved those briefcase that had children in them and stuff. Jesus Christ. You would. As an easy way to transport a little kid around. A little boy around. I went easy on you specifically to not say that. I was going to say this thing, but I didn't say it. I was supposed to say thank you. Thanks, Mitch. I was going to try to be like, I was going to try to be like, the movie's actually good, but the movie's so bad and I'm mad you could like I would try to go I'd try to find the good there's literally no good in it it is such garbage it is like maybe the worst movie I've ever seen in my life you're welcome obviously we have opinions about this movie but there are people out there with a different opinion it is now time for second opinions as sung by our friend Ted hey I have an opinion And you have one too Let's go to Amazon For a second opinion review Yeah!

1:18:45Jason Mantzoukas:Give it up for Ted!

1:18:50Jason Mantzoukas:Great work, Ted. Great work. Well, I will say these are some of the best second opinions I've ever read. I had a very, very hard time cutting them down. so I'm going to read a couple of them. I will say that it is amazing to read these because they all share one thing, which is people are hot and horny for Mila Jojovich. Like, and it comes through in these reviews. And then, all right, so this one is like, this one just, all right, oh man, where should I start? This one is easy, from Dave T. I haven't watched it yet, but anything Mila Jovovich is in has to be good. She's generally a tough girl, but she's not the villain.

1:19:43Jason Mantzoukas:Not sure, though, about Resident Evil. Haven't seen that one either. Five stars.

1:19:52Jason Mantzoukas:This one from John N. Title, yup. Body. Okay, she's just hot. Five stars.

1:20:07She's one of those people, even we saw it or heard it earlier tonight, that just brings out the creep in guys.

1:20:14Jason Mantzoukas:Yeah. This one from Mike. People seem to be pretty divided about how they like this movie, but I liked it. Mila is so, so pretty. And it was so nice to see her all the time. She really helps this movie a lot. but I guess it helps if a person is a guy and single that that means they're really going to enjoy this movie

1:20:38Jason Mantzoukas:there was good photography, good sets and good music, I like it when a movie has good music and I like the way it didn't become night whenever there was a battle scene, there was plenty of light so people could see what was going on, five stars

1:20:56wow, as a single guy

1:21:00Jason Mantzoukas:this one is from Forward Observer and the title is Runway Modeling in Our 21st Century and I'm just picking up in the middle here because that's what I had to do with a couple of these they're long we are sometimes lulled and more often enlivened by the sensuous and sultry sound of her voice mesmerized and transfixed by the resolute regard of her eyes, her mouth, and her face. I don't like it. And alerted and attracted to her youthful grace. Blech. Her confident pop. Blech. And all else, the amazing martial arts, the exceptional motorcycle stunts, the thoroughly surprising architectural elements of Shanghai, China, and the ever more alluring sequence of lush costumes and lavish sets.

1:21:54Jason Mantzoukas:Though beautifully choreographed Vibrantly hewed and fascinatingly textured Whoa It's really reassuring To know such a creature as Mila Inhabits our planet Five Stars Creature There's also something about reading these With that frozen image behind them Right

1:22:23As if she doesn't like it either. She's like...

1:22:27Jason Mantzoukas:This is from Lori. I love this movie so much, so much that I had to rent it twice. Then I bought it. And now it's going on my iPod. If you watch it from the beginning, don't be high. Pay attention. What? But if you're watching it from the end, be high as you want. It's got a cool futuristic lifestyle going on, and I like that. I mean, who knows where our future will bring us. I wonder about stuff like that a lot. Oh, God. I mean, is it possible for some of these things to happen one day? I don't know. Watch it and be prepared for pure entertainment. Five stars. and then I will go to the last two this one short one from Stephanie E who we've read before where Jason said that you thought this woman was pretty horny she said the same person?

1:23:31Jason Mantzoukas:yes

1:23:34are we tracking these people?

1:23:37Jason Mantzoukas:this is Nate Kylie's research he has a good memory I wish I could change my hair color that easy. Five stars.

1:23:51Still sounds horny.

1:23:53Jason Mantzoukas:Alright, so this one's a little long. Just bear with me because I think it's interesting. Okay. It's Michael and the title is What You May Not Know About Mila Jojovich. Okay. I'm reviewing another movie featuring the phenomenal Miss Jojovich because Because beside the fact that I thought this was another killer movie by MJ, but also because of the trivia I read going along with this one, I always knew MJ was bad to the bone. But I had no idea what she accomplished at this point and far earlier in her career. This lady was modeling, acting, dancing, and an established fashion designer. She's immensely wealthy.

1:24:37Jason Mantzoukas:Before she was even in her teens, Throughout her early life, where most child prodigies crash and burn, she created an empire and drove forward the market herself onto an astonishing, successful, and extremely wealthy individual. Her workout regimen is uncompromising and will kill a lesser person. By the time she began acting more or less full-time, she could speak a dozen languages. Her IQ is off the charts. She amassed a huge fortune while most young adults were still struggling to, quote-unquote, find themselves. She's 415 years old. She invented fireworks. She can act as well as perform her own superhuman stunts.

1:25:24Jason Mantzoukas:Yes, folks, she does her own stunts. The ultraviolet didn't do as well at the block's office. Some of her more popular films, like Fifth Element. It's an amazing accomplishment nonetheless. And the list keeps growing. Wow! Five stars.

1:25:46I feel like that review could grant her a restraining order.

1:25:53Jason Mantzoukas:I don't know who he's fighting. Like, who, like, I mean, that's like a biography that you would read in, like, a fifth grade class. Before she was in her teens, she was one of the most well-respected fashion designers in the world. She speaks high Valerian. There are literally pages and pages, and I'm not going to bore you with it. They're fascinating. Just backstory on IMDb trivia about all the technology in the movie that it feels like the director got on there. and was like, let me lay it out for you in very long, wordy passages. I mean, it's sort of like, you know, the technology mainly takes form of an easily overlooked wristband, although one-inch scabbards holding 42-inch swords are also seen.

1:26:46Jason Mantzoukas:Handguns with 18-inch bayonets are also stored in the 16-inch grips, and ammunition is also hidden in this manner, the bullets flying from the wristbands into the magazines on command. And it's like, the technology is also used to create habitable pocket dimensions such as a briefcase backpack. Oh, that's what it is. Yeah, so there it is. Oh, now it makes sense. Yeah. And, like, Garth's whole research lab is just in a different dimension. Yeah, we didn't know any of that. Wait, Garth is in another dimension in the entire movie? Really? Well, that's why his truck can be, like, a big, giant lab, I guess.

1:27:25Oh. Because it's, like, it's kind of like Hermione's purse. Oh, okay. Or it's like the tents in Harry Potter. It might look like a little pup tent, but when you get in, it's like a whole big thing. So the final shot, which is the Red Mack truck coming at the camera, that's his lab? Yeah. Okay. So when they're inside his world, they're inside his truck, it's just enormous because it's in a pocket dimension? Yeah. So where's the little boy when he's in the backpack suitcase? case what what dimension is he in all right who knows man he's in some dimension he's with the bullets he's like all these fucking bullets just clanging around in here bayonets are stabbing

1:28:14Jason Mantzoukas:get out of here um well before before i ask you guys if you'd recommend this movie because I think it's a real question. Here's what the end VO is. Yes, I was born into a world you might not understand. But a world has a turn to... That's a romantic shot. Still is.

1:28:39And my body. Would Garth be able to fix it the way another had cured my soul? Maybe. Maybe not. But this I do know. All those still out there who spread oppression, injustice, and hatred, they better hope not. The end. It's even comic book font, which is annoying. There should have been a question mark at the end there, too. I thought for sure there was going to be a post-credit sequence. Nothing really puts an exclamation point on a film, like bold comic sans.

1:29:24Jason Mantzoukas:Oh, man. Well, Jason, would you recommend people see that? No, this movie is legitimately bad. And it's not fun enough to get to worth it for me, I don't think. No, it's not. You know, there's... No, I'm glad that we watch it and this conversation is better than the movie. But you shouldn't subject yourself to that. Nick? No, fuck no. I mean, it's joyless. That's the thing. There's some, you know, like a bad movie. Some of it is like, oh, this is fun. You guys know sometimes. It's a blast. There's nothing fun about this. It's just a slog. And the fact that it makes no sense makes it feel, it's 88 minutes and it feels interminable.

1:30:05Jason Mantzoukas:Yeah, it really, and I feel like there was, it's almost like an overloading of ideas in a way. because it's like, oh, these are all, any of these things would be interesting if it wasn't all just jammed in there. It was like just closing that closet door and be like, enjoy it. Like, it was almost like if there's enough stuff, you'll like it. But it just, yeah, it just falls apart. Mike, I know you like this. Yeah, I liked it. No, I mean, I think it is maybe one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. I'm not even kidding around. I thought I was going to try to be contrarian in some way, but Force Awakens is much better than it.

1:30:41any movie is much better than that. I think Nick's right. It doesn't do bad fun. There's no... You can't have fun with the badness of it. What was the truck at the end? I don't even know what the truck was. The truck is coming out. It doesn't make any sense.

1:30:56Jason Mantzoukas:Basically, the last 40 seconds of this movie is all CGI. Shitty, shitty CGI. She doesn't even seem to care. She's like, will I get fixed? Maybe, maybe not. She's happy with the fact that she turned that kid into a vampire. Yeah, which means it's 12 years. He'll be dead when he's like 16. I guess so. Well, he's not four, but he'll be... Well, I mean, he won't be dead because... He won't be dead because he's her. Oh. But he is a little boy, right? Shit happens, man. But yeah, no, it's bad. Yeah, it was depressingly bad. Well, I feel it's the exact same way. I echo everything that everybody says.

1:31:41Jason Mantzoukas:It was interesting that a movie that seemingly, like that seems like it cost a lot of money, would be like no one stopped it. How much did it? I'm curious how much it cost. Budget was, oh, not that bad. See, that's why I feel like she's the biggest movie star. It's all CGI, so I feel like, and it's not well done. So I'm going to say like$22 million. Okay. Anybody else want to take any guesses on the budget of the movie? $40 million. Okay. I'm going to say, oh, God,$15 million. I'll go low. All right. It's$30 million budget. Opening weekend was$9 million. In the United States, it made$18 million.

1:32:17Jason Mantzoukas:And in the world, it made$31 million. So it made back its money. Well, sort of. Well, I mean, yeah. We don't know what they spent on the rest, but. Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right. The P &A on this is probably 50 cents. Wasn't there some sort of, wasn't Ultraviolet the name of some sort of other DVD thing they were doing? Oh, it was like, it was like, it was a Blu-ray HD DVD. Wasn't there something there? Ultraviolet was a thing, right? Somebody explain it very quick. You're. The digital code. Oh, right. It was a digital code. Like, you would get the DVD. It was to stop piracy? And then you could put the thing in.

1:33:01Jason Mantzoukas:But was it named after this movie? iTunes, right? You had a free download when you bought the DVD. Free download when you... Yeah. Was it based on this movie? No, no, I mean, like, was it related to this movie somehow? Well, I will tell you, the one interesting spinoff of this movie was it made a... He finally did get to make a comic or a cartoon because it was spun off into an animated series two years later. called, it was called, sorry, I'm trying to find it right here. Family Guy. Yes. It was turned into the show Bob's Burgers. F is for family. It's called Ultraviolet Code 44. So if you guys want to find Ultraviolet Code 44, you get deeper into the world.

1:33:52Jason Mantzoukas:You can get your answers about the Grandmaster, whoever that person was, the Archduke, whatever his name was. Um, so, uh, that's that. And let me just say, uh, just so I can plug it. So you guys don't have to, the dough boys is one of my favorite podcasts. Uh, I will second that. Yeah. God bless you. Thank you. Every week you guys go to a different chain restaurant, whether it is something as simple as like a Starbucks to a red lobster to in and out and you're, you're connoisseurs of this food. Can we counter you? Yeah. It's bad. It's terrible. here's what I like about it because yes it is it is you guys and a guest reviewing and talking about a meal you've had at a fast food restaurant you're ranking the restaurants etc for me it is a story of two men who are growing to loathe each other it is a journey from friendship to murder suicide and that's what I find compelling Well, and I will then jump on that, and I think I understand why it's happening, because I have done one of these episodes.

1:35:03Jason Mantzoukas:You feel physically ill after doing the episode because the food you're eating is bad, and I feel like you guys are poisoning yourselves. I texted John Gabrus when you guys did the thing where he ate 100 chicken wings or something. He ate 100 chicken nuggets. Two chicken nuggets. 60 chicken nuggets have you died? I was like I'm concerned for his safety yeah yeah no that's why I got this recumbent bicycle good because this show is killing it's killing us I did I did a high end restaurant with you guys we did a tie in with how to skip maybe we did the Bubba Gump restaurant and I thought that was going to be fine and I wasn't even that was really bad yeah yeah no we're gonna die at some point soon but we kind of both we welcome death yeah and Mike when is love coming back love comes back in I think around Valentine's Day season three comes up yeah yeah tune in very good yeah Nick anything else you want to plug no I'm good Jason I'm okay thanks there's a fucking bug plugging that bug and I will just plug wet hot American summer 10 years later on Netflix.

1:36:27Jason Mantzoukas:I have a small part in that. And then this movie Opening Night that I did also that I think is actually pretty funny also on Netflix. And there's two.
