1
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:04,339
Hello, kitties.

2
00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:07,279
It's your old pal John Kaseer, the voice

3
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:08,820
of the Cryptkeeper

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,619
and you're listening to

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,460
the bottom shelf.

6
00:00:21,725 --> 00:00:22,704
Oh, gosh.

7
00:00:23,085 --> 00:00:23,984
Ugh. Gross.

8
00:00:24,445 --> 00:00:24,945
Dallas?

9
00:00:25,644 --> 00:00:28,204
John? You sound like crap, bro. Oh, man.

10
00:00:28,204 --> 00:00:29,484
I'm sick all of a sudden. I'm not

11
00:00:29,484 --> 00:00:31,140
sure what's going on. Yeah. We all have

12
00:00:31,140 --> 00:00:33,140
been sick. Like, me and Tasha have just

13
00:00:33,140 --> 00:00:35,140
gotten out of it after about six weeks

14
00:00:35,140 --> 00:00:36,899
of having us. Why we haven't been recording,

15
00:00:36,899 --> 00:00:38,359
bro? Oh, I hate that.

16
00:00:38,739 --> 00:00:39,239
Who's

17
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:42,820
who's Tasha? You know, Tasha, my wife, the

18
00:00:42,820 --> 00:00:46,255
person I'm married to. Yeah. Yeah. Wait. You're

19
00:00:46,255 --> 00:00:46,755
married?

20
00:01:21,525 --> 00:01:22,505
Hello, everybody.

21
00:01:22,885 --> 00:01:25,525
Boys and girls, men of all ages, I

22
00:01:25,525 --> 00:01:27,204
don't know what I'm saying, but if you

23
00:01:27,204 --> 00:01:29,125
like movies or hate them, we are here

24
00:01:29,125 --> 00:01:31,290
for you because this is the bottom shelf

25
00:01:31,530 --> 00:01:34,349
where every movie has a place. I am

26
00:01:34,890 --> 00:01:35,390
your

27
00:01:36,329 --> 00:01:36,829
cohost

28
00:01:37,209 --> 00:01:38,270
of cohosts.

29
00:01:38,650 --> 00:01:39,310
My name

30
00:01:39,849 --> 00:01:42,670
is John Harju, and I am here with

31
00:01:42,730 --> 00:01:43,870
the sick one,

32
00:01:44,395 --> 00:01:45,454
sick Obi Wan,

33
00:01:45,915 --> 00:01:48,415
Captain Dallas, panda Marshall Mora.

34
00:01:48,795 --> 00:01:50,395
What's going on, folks? Glad to have everybody

35
00:01:50,395 --> 00:01:52,395
here with us today as we talk about

36
00:01:52,395 --> 00:01:55,194
some terrible movies. Hopefully, it'll be medicinal for

37
00:01:55,194 --> 00:01:57,709
me today. And we also,

38
00:01:58,090 --> 00:02:00,569
not to ignore the elephant in the room,

39
00:02:00,569 --> 00:02:02,730
but we haven't been around again for a

40
00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:03,549
minute because

41
00:02:04,010 --> 00:02:06,590
we've been sick, folk. It's been a while.

42
00:02:06,969 --> 00:02:08,625
You can hear Dallas is

43
00:02:09,104 --> 00:02:12,324
going into his second round of whatever

44
00:02:12,625 --> 00:02:14,805
because I think you had it earlier in

45
00:02:15,185 --> 00:02:15,685
February.

46
00:02:16,305 --> 00:02:18,705
Maybe. Maybe. I can't remember it. It's all

47
00:02:18,705 --> 00:02:20,705
blurry right now. Yeah. Like, I'm I'm running

48
00:02:20,705 --> 00:02:22,560
a 100 degree fever at the moment. So,

49
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,459
ladies and gentlemen,

50
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,280
disclaimer. I don't know what I'm gonna say

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:25,780
today.

52
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:27,539
Welcome to the mucus.

53
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,620
We got fun and games.

54
00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:30,659
Anyway,

55
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,520
as you can tell, I'm not completely over

56
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,099
it either.

57
00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:37,775
What do we got today, Dallas? We got

58
00:02:37,775 --> 00:02:39,715
movie time. We do.

59
00:02:40,014 --> 00:02:42,495
We are watching some movies, and that's why

60
00:02:42,495 --> 00:02:44,974
I'm trying to fumble through my note. Dig

61
00:02:44,974 --> 00:02:46,974
through the box here. And it looks like

62
00:02:46,974 --> 00:02:47,875
we're gonna watch.

63
00:02:48,254 --> 00:02:49,955
Let's see here. What's this blue thing?

64
00:02:50,655 --> 00:02:52,479
Oh. Is that the Tesseract, bro?

65
00:02:53,979 --> 00:02:55,739
It's glowing like it. No. It's the one,

66
00:02:55,739 --> 00:02:57,739
dude. The one ring? Are we gonna watch

67
00:02:57,739 --> 00:02:59,340
Lord of the Rings? Is No. Did did

68
00:02:59,340 --> 00:03:00,879
they throw away Lord of the Rings?

69
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:03,259
If we do Lord of the Rings on

70
00:03:03,259 --> 00:03:05,384
this show, Celeste may riot. Just tell you

71
00:03:05,384 --> 00:03:06,905
that right now. She will riot if that

72
00:03:06,905 --> 00:03:07,965
ends up on the show.

73
00:03:11,625 --> 00:03:13,145
Oh, no, man. This is a Jet Li

74
00:03:13,145 --> 00:03:15,064
movie from, like, 2001

75
00:03:15,064 --> 00:03:17,324
directed by Lee's made a bad movie?

76
00:03:17,625 --> 00:03:18,125
Apparently.

77
00:03:18,664 --> 00:03:20,689
Perish the thought. Alright. So,

78
00:03:21,310 --> 00:03:23,229
why don't you, read the back of that

79
00:03:23,229 --> 00:03:25,229
box and, Let's see here. In the back

80
00:03:25,229 --> 00:03:27,389
of the box is this. Imagine that you

81
00:03:27,389 --> 00:03:29,389
are in a parallel u that there are

82
00:03:29,389 --> 00:03:33,194
parallel universes. Alright. I'm there. Imagine that someone

83
00:03:33,254 --> 00:03:35,895
has escaped one and is roaming the streets

84
00:03:35,895 --> 00:03:38,534
of your city. Of my city? Yes. Your

85
00:03:38,534 --> 00:03:40,235
city. Okay. Imagine

86
00:03:40,534 --> 00:03:41,995
that he has come to eliminate

87
00:03:42,455 --> 00:03:43,995
you. But why me?

88
00:03:44,659 --> 00:03:47,159
Imagine that he looks exactly like you.

89
00:03:47,539 --> 00:03:48,039
Legas?

90
00:03:48,580 --> 00:03:50,519
From the director of Final Destination

91
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:53,539
comes a wild action packed trip to the

92
00:03:53,539 --> 00:03:56,580
future starring international superstar Jet Li from Romeo

93
00:03:56,580 --> 00:03:59,444
must die in Lethal Weapon four in an

94
00:03:59,504 --> 00:04:00,564
incredible dual

95
00:04:00,865 --> 00:04:01,525
dual role

96
00:04:01,824 --> 00:04:03,584
as a police. I feel like that guy

97
00:04:03,584 --> 00:04:05,205
from dual dual role real.

98
00:04:07,104 --> 00:04:09,985
Is a incredible dual role as a police

99
00:04:09,985 --> 00:04:12,224
officer in a fight for his life in

100
00:04:12,224 --> 00:04:14,164
a universe hopping assassin obsessed

101
00:04:14,509 --> 00:04:15,090
with terminating

102
00:04:15,709 --> 00:04:16,769
it. Also starring

103
00:04:17,389 --> 00:04:21,470
Delroy Lindo, Gone in 60, Carla Giugino from

104
00:04:21,470 --> 00:04:24,689
Spy Kids, and Jason Statham from Snatched.

105
00:04:25,149 --> 00:04:27,949
And loaded with explosive action and jaw dropping

106
00:04:27,949 --> 00:04:28,449
effects,

107
00:04:28,935 --> 00:04:29,914
Your beyond

108
00:04:30,694 --> 00:04:34,074
or jaw dropping effects beyond your wildest dreams.

109
00:04:34,615 --> 00:04:35,115
Alright.

110
00:04:35,495 --> 00:04:36,214
Now let's,

111
00:04:37,014 --> 00:04:38,714
let's see what the old Googleplex

112
00:04:39,254 --> 00:04:40,154
has to say

113
00:04:40,534 --> 00:04:41,754
about this movie.

114
00:04:43,129 --> 00:04:44,490
In 2001,

115
00:04:44,490 --> 00:04:48,009
director James Wong, that's w o n g,

116
00:04:48,009 --> 00:04:51,129
not James Wan, w a n, which was

117
00:04:51,129 --> 00:04:52,990
the guy who did the conjuring movies,

118
00:04:54,490 --> 00:04:57,209
decided the only thing better than one Jet

119
00:04:57,209 --> 00:04:57,709
Li

120
00:04:58,295 --> 00:05:00,055
was 125

121
00:05:00,055 --> 00:05:01,274
of them, and thus,

122
00:05:01,574 --> 00:05:03,415
the one was born. That doesn't make sense,

123
00:05:03,415 --> 00:05:05,175
bro. If there is a 125,

124
00:05:05,175 --> 00:05:06,634
then why would the one

125
00:05:07,254 --> 00:05:09,115
They're talking about the movie, the one.

126
00:05:10,774 --> 00:05:13,834
It's called shtick Dallas. Let it ride. Oh.

127
00:05:14,740 --> 00:05:17,319
The script follows Gabriel Yulaw,

128
00:05:18,019 --> 00:05:22,099
a rogue multiverse authority agent who is hopping

129
00:05:22,099 --> 00:05:24,199
between dimensions to take down

130
00:05:24,659 --> 00:05:26,360
his extreme sickness.

131
00:05:26,819 --> 00:05:28,514
What? Oh, I see what you you did

132
00:05:28,514 --> 00:05:30,595
there. To take down his extreme sickness on

133
00:05:30,595 --> 00:05:32,214
the other shelves and become

134
00:05:32,595 --> 00:05:33,975
a literal god.

135
00:05:34,435 --> 00:05:36,834
And standing in his way is the last

136
00:05:36,834 --> 00:05:39,334
remaining good version of himself, an LAPD

137
00:05:40,035 --> 00:05:42,134
deputy named Gabe Law who

138
00:05:42,754 --> 00:05:45,360
has no idea about what is happening,

139
00:05:45,819 --> 00:05:48,459
much less the the fact that every other

140
00:05:48,459 --> 00:05:51,439
him in the multiverse has been systematically deleted.

141
00:05:51,899 --> 00:05:54,240
To stop this self inflicted genocide,

142
00:05:54,779 --> 00:05:57,199
the multiverse authority sends two interdimensional

143
00:05:57,579 --> 00:05:57,824
cops,

144
00:05:58,384 --> 00:06:01,444
the Leroy Lindo and a very young

145
00:06:02,064 --> 00:06:03,045
pre stubble

146
00:06:03,425 --> 00:06:06,625
Jason Statham, who was sporting a head of

147
00:06:06,625 --> 00:06:09,985
hair. So distracting, it's a wonder he can

148
00:06:09,985 --> 00:06:12,240
focus on the mission at all. While the

149
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,960
film tries to be a high concept sci

150
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,439
fi epic, it mostly is remembered for its

151
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:18,800
aggressive 2001

152
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,220
new metal soundtrack, an iconic moment

153
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,660
where Yulaw

154
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,180
uses two motorcycles

155
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,634
as a literal boxing gloves to smash his

156
00:06:27,634 --> 00:06:28,134
enemies

157
00:06:28,595 --> 00:06:31,495
full of flashy bullet time effects, the novelty

158
00:06:31,555 --> 00:06:33,314
of seeing Jet Li perform high

159
00:06:33,875 --> 00:06:35,974
a high five of death against himself,

160
00:06:36,435 --> 00:06:38,995
and the vibes of a PlayStation one action

161
00:06:38,995 --> 00:06:41,490
game. Thanks, everybody. I was live reading that

162
00:06:41,490 --> 00:06:42,550
for the first time.

163
00:06:43,649 --> 00:06:45,350
I'm sure it sounded fantastic.

164
00:06:46,610 --> 00:06:48,449
Oh, man. Alright. Well, let's get into the,

165
00:06:48,610 --> 00:06:50,850
trivia, John. What you got for us? The

166
00:06:50,850 --> 00:06:51,350
trivia.

167
00:06:52,305 --> 00:06:53,285
Alright. So

168
00:06:53,665 --> 00:06:58,145
the, trivia bot here, the compliments of imdb.com.

169
00:06:58,145 --> 00:06:59,745
Go get you some if you wanna look

170
00:06:59,745 --> 00:07:00,725
up some movies.

171
00:07:02,225 --> 00:07:03,985
I was looking through here. This one this

172
00:07:03,985 --> 00:07:05,824
first one here kinda gave me the ick,

173
00:07:05,824 --> 00:07:08,040
and I'm not sure why. Maybe you can

174
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,480
help me. Does this give you the ick,

175
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:09,980
Dallas?

176
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:12,779
In the scenes involving Jet Li fighting

177
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:13,660
himself,

178
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:16,919
we're we're on your let me back up

179
00:07:16,919 --> 00:07:19,259
and say this again. I'm I'm having problems

180
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:20,384
talking tonight.

181
00:07:21,585 --> 00:07:24,485
In the scenes involving Jet Li fighting himself,

182
00:07:25,025 --> 00:07:27,425
they were shot using Jet Li and a

183
00:07:27,425 --> 00:07:30,384
stuntman with a similar build to him. And

184
00:07:30,384 --> 00:07:32,705
the stuntman's face was painted green so it

185
00:07:32,705 --> 00:07:35,425
could be digitally replaced with Jet Li's face

186
00:07:35,425 --> 00:07:35,819
later.

187
00:07:36,379 --> 00:07:38,540
Yeah. And I don't know why, but that

188
00:07:38,540 --> 00:07:41,600
gives me the ick. One word, sticky.

189
00:07:41,980 --> 00:07:42,480
Yes.

190
00:07:42,860 --> 00:07:45,100
It's like it I it's like having grease

191
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:47,500
paint all over your face Mhmm. Or even

192
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:50,240
worse, sunblock. Oh my god. I hate sunblock,

193
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:53,495
bro. Like, not even not even joking. That

194
00:07:53,495 --> 00:07:54,875
is why you felt icky.

195
00:07:55,814 --> 00:07:59,095
Okay. The University Medical Center where Gabe goes

196
00:07:59,095 --> 00:08:01,735
to get the MRI is in the North

197
00:08:01,735 --> 00:08:03,115
Hollywood Medical Center

198
00:08:03,495 --> 00:08:07,160
where the popular TV sitcom Scrubs was filmed.

199
00:08:07,460 --> 00:08:09,939
Oh. So if you see that MRI in

200
00:08:09,939 --> 00:08:12,020
there and it looks familiar, it's because it's

201
00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:14,840
in the Basement of Sacred Heart on Scrubs.

202
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:16,600
Interesting. Yep.

203
00:08:17,620 --> 00:08:20,600
The scene where Yu Law is practicing his

204
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:21,400
ZINJI.

205
00:08:22,154 --> 00:08:24,334
I can't I I I apologize

206
00:08:25,514 --> 00:08:26,414
to my Chinese

207
00:08:27,194 --> 00:08:27,694
ethnic

208
00:08:28,074 --> 00:08:30,954
brothers and sisters. I am going to slaughter

209
00:08:30,954 --> 00:08:32,414
this. I don't read

210
00:08:32,875 --> 00:08:35,540
Chinese very well. I was trained in Japanese.

211
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:36,180
So,

212
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,019
again, please give me your utmost of grace.

213
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,920
I acknowledge my faults here. I bow low

214
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,019
to you. So let me try this again.

215
00:08:46,174 --> 00:08:48,174
The sing the scene where Yu Law is

216
00:08:48,174 --> 00:08:49,875
practicing his Jing

217
00:08:50,334 --> 00:08:51,235
Jing Yi

218
00:08:51,855 --> 00:08:52,754
while shackled

219
00:08:53,134 --> 00:08:55,375
and jailed is a reference to the famous

220
00:08:55,375 --> 00:08:56,434
Jing Yi master,

221
00:08:56,975 --> 00:08:59,454
Kuo Yoon Shen, who did the same thing

222
00:08:59,454 --> 00:09:00,834
when he had been jailed.

223
00:09:02,389 --> 00:09:04,149
During the shootout at the beginning of the

224
00:09:04,149 --> 00:09:07,769
film, the LAPD officers in the Anubis universe

225
00:09:07,910 --> 00:09:10,389
were all arms with m four a one

226
00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:14,085
carbine assault rifles fitted with the m 26

227
00:09:14,165 --> 00:09:17,125
modular accessory shotgun system. At the time of

228
00:09:17,125 --> 00:09:19,465
filming, the m 26 was an experimental

229
00:09:19,845 --> 00:09:22,725
shotgun being developed for the United States Army

230
00:09:22,725 --> 00:09:24,264
by the Seymour systems,

231
00:09:24,725 --> 00:09:26,825
and it was not available to the public.

232
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,240
The m 20 sixes used in the film

233
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,519
were prototype versions loaned by the production of

234
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:35,259
the C More Systems under the promotional agreement

235
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,820
that they were later returned to the company

236
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:39,179
after filming was

237
00:09:39,735 --> 00:09:40,554
was completed.

238
00:09:41,254 --> 00:09:43,355
So what you're seeing on here was experimental

239
00:09:43,815 --> 00:09:46,294
army tech in this film. That's pretty cool,

240
00:09:46,294 --> 00:09:47,754
actually. For sure.

241
00:09:48,774 --> 00:09:50,054
And this will be the last one that

242
00:09:50,054 --> 00:09:51,254
I'm gonna throw out here because I don't

243
00:09:51,254 --> 00:09:54,049
wanna spend all night, doing this. But when

244
00:09:54,049 --> 00:09:55,269
Dwayne The Rock Johnson

245
00:09:56,370 --> 00:09:58,769
was attached to star, this film was known

246
00:09:58,769 --> 00:10:00,629
as The Rock movie.

247
00:10:02,129 --> 00:10:04,210
When he had left to work on The

248
00:10:04,210 --> 00:10:05,110
Mummy Returns,

249
00:10:05,649 --> 00:10:08,014
for that was slated to release It

250
00:10:09,434 --> 00:10:09,934
was

251
00:10:10,554 --> 00:10:11,215
listed for a short time

252
00:10:11,674 --> 00:10:13,054
under, under the title

253
00:10:13,674 --> 00:10:17,035
of Untitled Sci Fi Project. And then when

254
00:10:17,035 --> 00:10:17,674
Jet Li came aboard,

255
00:10:18,795 --> 00:10:21,514
it became the one. So, like, literally, there

256
00:10:21,514 --> 00:10:22,249
was, like, no name for this. So they

257
00:10:22,249 --> 00:10:23,129
were like, it was The Rock this. So

258
00:10:23,129 --> 00:10:26,070
they were like, it was The Rock movie,

259
00:10:27,730 --> 00:10:29,009
which is kind of funny if you think

260
00:10:29,009 --> 00:10:30,070
about it because

261
00:10:30,529 --> 00:10:32,929
I didn't I can't for some reason, like,

262
00:10:32,929 --> 00:10:34,769
when I think about this movie and when

263
00:10:34,769 --> 00:10:36,434
I saw it, I I keep feeling like

264
00:10:36,434 --> 00:10:38,774
this was, like, '96 for some reason.

265
00:10:39,554 --> 00:10:42,134
Like, I I remember it being earlier than

266
00:10:42,195 --> 00:10:43,254
2001.

267
00:10:43,634 --> 00:10:46,754
Really? Yeah. I I don't know. I'm having,

268
00:10:46,754 --> 00:10:50,049
like, some weird Mandela effect with this. Did

269
00:10:50,110 --> 00:10:52,529
did somebody sit on the randomizer again?

270
00:10:53,070 --> 00:10:53,970
They might have.

271
00:10:55,470 --> 00:10:57,490
Alright. Well, let's get into our our expectations,

272
00:10:57,710 --> 00:11:00,029
John. Since you you were pinpointing it at

273
00:11:00,110 --> 00:11:02,325
in the in the nineties, what were your,

274
00:11:03,445 --> 00:11:04,264
what were your

275
00:11:04,725 --> 00:11:06,504
expectations for us watching it?

276
00:11:07,044 --> 00:11:09,465
What are my expectations for watching this movie?

277
00:11:09,524 --> 00:11:10,024
I'm

278
00:11:10,485 --> 00:11:12,804
like, literally, I haven't watched I like, I've

279
00:11:12,804 --> 00:11:14,184
seen this movie once,

280
00:11:14,644 --> 00:11:17,539
and it it's been over two decades married

281
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:20,980
to my wife for two decades, Dallas.

282
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:21,959
And,

283
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:23,139
Amazing.

284
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,299
What's that? Amazing. Congratulations.

285
00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:28,159
I'm proud of you. No. I've just

286
00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:29,139
wife.

287
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:32,559
And,

288
00:11:33,095 --> 00:11:34,615
when I saw this, it was before we

289
00:11:34,615 --> 00:11:37,095
were married. So Right. It it it's been

290
00:11:37,095 --> 00:11:39,335
a long minute, and all I remember is

291
00:11:39,335 --> 00:11:40,875
a lot of the color blue

292
00:11:41,335 --> 00:11:41,835
and

293
00:11:43,014 --> 00:11:45,035
and Jet Li fighting Jet Li.

294
00:11:45,490 --> 00:11:48,049
Yes. And a lot of a lot of

295
00:11:48,049 --> 00:11:48,790
new metal.

296
00:11:49,170 --> 00:11:50,850
Mhmm. Which at the time, I was really

297
00:11:50,850 --> 00:11:53,009
into new metal. So I'd I I think

298
00:11:53,009 --> 00:11:55,090
I enjoyed it. But, I mean, to tell

299
00:11:55,090 --> 00:11:57,110
you the truth, I can't I can't remember

300
00:11:57,490 --> 00:11:57,889
going

301
00:11:58,290 --> 00:12:00,090
I can't remember anything going into this movie

302
00:12:00,090 --> 00:12:00,879
about Mhmm.

303
00:12:02,105 --> 00:12:04,365
This movie outside of those three things.

304
00:12:04,745 --> 00:12:07,384
The color blue, Jet Li, Fighting Jet Li,

305
00:12:07,384 --> 00:12:09,164
and Cut My Life into Pieces.

306
00:12:09,544 --> 00:12:11,544
There you go. That works. Alright. How about

307
00:12:11,544 --> 00:12:13,164
you? What are your expectations?

308
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,440
I'm I'm looking forward to it. I've watched

309
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,160
this within the last five years. Okay. And,

310
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,720
I rented it from Hollywood Video when it

311
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,059
first came out back in 2001.

312
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,924
I am a a fan of Jet Li.

313
00:12:28,684 --> 00:12:30,684
Preshow, John and I were talking about Jet

314
00:12:30,684 --> 00:12:31,964
Li movies. And,

315
00:12:32,605 --> 00:12:34,605
I I've I've watched a lot of his

316
00:12:34,605 --> 00:12:35,884
movies, and I'm going through this list and

317
00:12:35,884 --> 00:12:37,105
going, I've seen a lot

318
00:12:37,485 --> 00:12:38,304
of his movies.

319
00:12:39,164 --> 00:12:40,625
So I'm going in going,

320
00:12:40,929 --> 00:12:42,529
this is going to be a fun action

321
00:12:42,529 --> 00:12:44,529
flick, but it's gonna feel very short at

322
00:12:44,529 --> 00:12:46,070
the same time. Okay.

323
00:12:46,769 --> 00:12:48,690
Well, what does everybody else think about this

324
00:12:48,690 --> 00:12:50,550
movie then? What are their expectations?

325
00:12:51,330 --> 00:12:53,110
Leave a comment and let us know.

326
00:12:53,615 --> 00:12:55,934
No. I was trying to segue into the

327
00:12:55,934 --> 00:12:56,434
community

328
00:12:57,214 --> 00:12:58,595
feed. Community outreach.

329
00:13:02,975 --> 00:13:04,115
Dallas has failed.

330
00:13:04,975 --> 00:13:08,169
Alright. Community outreach. Failing at outreach? What? I

331
00:13:08,169 --> 00:13:09,370
know. Right? Alright.

332
00:13:09,929 --> 00:13:12,350
From John. Hey. That's you. That's me.

333
00:13:12,970 --> 00:13:14,750
Oh, I'm on the wrong page.

334
00:13:15,370 --> 00:13:18,169
From John. My first or second time seeing

335
00:13:18,169 --> 00:13:20,669
Jet Li Act, which is astounding to me.

336
00:13:20,730 --> 00:13:22,649
I am genuinely surprised that you never seen

337
00:13:22,649 --> 00:13:23,875
anything like like,

338
00:13:24,254 --> 00:13:26,274
Black Mask or No.

339
00:13:27,294 --> 00:13:29,214
Any other of his movies. Once Upon a

340
00:13:29,214 --> 00:13:30,034
Time in China,

341
00:13:30,414 --> 00:13:32,815
at least. Once Upon a Time in China,

342
00:13:32,815 --> 00:13:34,894
that was Donnie Yen, I thought. That was

343
00:13:34,894 --> 00:13:37,559
Jet Li. That was Jet Li? Mhmm. Now

344
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,240
I did see Once Upon a Time in

345
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,820
China, but I'm pretty certain it was

346
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,860
either this or Kiss of the Dragon

347
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,419
before I saw those. Mhmm.

348
00:13:47,799 --> 00:13:49,960
Mhmm. Yep. Yeah. Well, about the same time

349
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,144
frame. Alright. You wanna tag him? Oh, right.

350
00:13:53,205 --> 00:13:54,485
I didn't have my notes up because I

351
00:13:54,485 --> 00:13:57,304
was looking at other factoids for later because

352
00:13:57,524 --> 00:13:59,625
I have the stupid tonight,

353
00:14:00,004 --> 00:14:01,865
and I'm at the bottom of the list.

354
00:14:01,924 --> 00:14:03,845
Hold on. Maybe I have so much to

355
00:14:03,845 --> 00:14:06,264
edit. Alright. So we have here

356
00:14:06,644 --> 00:14:07,144
Smink.

357
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:08,240
He says

358
00:14:08,779 --> 00:14:11,519
enjoyable multiverse Highlander Kung Fu film.

359
00:14:11,899 --> 00:14:14,220
That's pretty pretty accurate. That Shout out to

360
00:14:14,220 --> 00:14:16,779
Smink. Love that guy so much. That is

361
00:14:16,779 --> 00:14:19,279
a lot to digest in such a small

362
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:22,595
container right there. I I feel like that

363
00:14:22,595 --> 00:14:25,554
is 17 pounds of baloney jammed into a

364
00:14:25,554 --> 00:14:26,855
five pound package.

365
00:14:27,475 --> 00:14:30,274
Ex expertly put on display, and I'm afraid

366
00:14:30,274 --> 00:14:32,355
to touch it because it might explode. It

367
00:14:32,355 --> 00:14:32,855
might.

368
00:14:33,475 --> 00:14:33,975
Francisco,

369
00:14:34,514 --> 00:14:36,195
our friend from Retro Rewind, he says,

370
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,840
many Jet Li's are on a mission to

371
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,639
remake Highlander as a kung fu brawl across

372
00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:42,379
the multiverse.

373
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,300
Alright. And then Branson,

374
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,620
used his inter

375
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,580
inter multi his inter universal

376
00:14:50,884 --> 00:14:52,504
his no. His pan universal

377
00:14:53,365 --> 00:14:53,865
communications

378
00:14:54,325 --> 00:14:56,105
to comment on this because

379
00:14:56,565 --> 00:14:57,625
in our lore,

380
00:14:58,085 --> 00:15:00,245
he doesn't live here except for when he

381
00:15:00,245 --> 00:15:02,424
occasionally can force ghost in.

382
00:15:03,445 --> 00:15:03,845
Says,

383
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:07,769
an adventure in the multiverse before MCU overused

384
00:15:07,909 --> 00:15:08,490
the concept.

385
00:15:09,110 --> 00:15:10,409
That's that's a fact.

386
00:15:10,949 --> 00:15:12,409
Wait. What what studio

387
00:15:12,949 --> 00:15:15,350
what studio did this film? Like, what what

388
00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:17,909
major what major distributor was behind this? Let

389
00:15:17,909 --> 00:15:18,970
me look it up.

390
00:15:19,955 --> 00:15:22,295
Because if it was a subsidiary of Disney,

391
00:15:22,355 --> 00:15:23,815
I'm calling Balderdash.

392
00:15:24,274 --> 00:15:25,254
You're calling Balderdash?

393
00:15:26,195 --> 00:15:27,394
Let's see here. It was

394
00:15:28,274 --> 00:15:30,915
Revolution Studio. Are they open by are they

395
00:15:30,915 --> 00:15:31,815
owned by Disney?

396
00:15:32,195 --> 00:15:33,095
I don't know.

397
00:15:34,470 --> 00:15:36,809
Google it. Does Disney own

398
00:15:37,830 --> 00:15:39,129
Revolution Studios?

399
00:15:40,070 --> 00:15:41,990
According to Google, no. Disney does not own

400
00:15:41,990 --> 00:15:44,629
Revolution Studios. It is an independent film and

401
00:15:44,629 --> 00:15:45,769
television library,

402
00:15:46,245 --> 00:15:49,945
currently owned by the investment firm Content Partners.

403
00:15:50,085 --> 00:15:51,524
It was acquired in 2017

404
00:15:51,524 --> 00:15:52,024
while,

405
00:15:52,965 --> 00:15:56,825
founded by former Disney studio head, Joe Roth,

406
00:15:57,125 --> 00:15:58,024
in 2000.

407
00:15:58,485 --> 00:16:00,120
That's funny. Alright.

408
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:02,600
Yep. Yep. Yep. We just we just made

409
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,480
a connection. We found our multiverse connection there.

410
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,500
We did. Alright. Cool beans.

411
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:08,379
Alright.

412
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,100
Well You ready for this ride?

413
00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:13,595
I mean, I I'm trying to I'm getting

414
00:16:14,134 --> 00:16:16,054
my mind ready to be melted with all

415
00:16:16,054 --> 00:16:16,954
these multiversal

416
00:16:17,815 --> 00:16:19,034
infinite multiversal

417
00:16:19,975 --> 00:16:21,735
ideas. Because, I mean, if there's a if

418
00:16:21,735 --> 00:16:24,054
there's a multiverse, I mean, obviously, it has

419
00:16:24,054 --> 00:16:25,975
to be infinite. Right? Oh, it's only a

420
00:16:25,975 --> 00:16:26,820
125.

421
00:16:27,059 --> 00:16:29,299
Wait. What? Only a 125.

422
00:16:29,299 --> 00:16:30,360
Just watch the movie.

423
00:16:34,019 --> 00:16:34,840
Dear listeners,

424
00:16:35,299 --> 00:16:38,179
this is your opportunity to escape. Our crew

425
00:16:38,179 --> 00:16:40,919
has just entered into the media projection chamber.

426
00:16:41,475 --> 00:16:43,714
What horrors and madness that they consume are

427
00:16:43,714 --> 00:16:44,214
unknown?

428
00:16:44,674 --> 00:16:46,855
Their mental state upon their return is

429
00:16:47,554 --> 00:16:48,054
unknown.

430
00:16:48,514 --> 00:16:49,654
You have been warned.

431
00:16:52,034 --> 00:16:52,534
Well,

432
00:16:53,075 --> 00:16:54,774
certainly was a movie.

433
00:16:56,909 --> 00:16:57,409
Sorry.

434
00:16:57,789 --> 00:16:58,909
Every time I watch one of these movies,

435
00:16:58,909 --> 00:17:00,690
I just wanna go do kung fu stuff.

436
00:17:00,830 --> 00:17:01,490
I mean,

437
00:17:02,190 --> 00:17:05,809
maybe? I'm sorry. Is it just me or

438
00:17:07,069 --> 00:17:08,529
I have things to say.

439
00:17:08,990 --> 00:17:10,910
Mhmm. But I can't say it on this

440
00:17:10,910 --> 00:17:13,295
side of the spoiler warning. Okay. Well, let's

441
00:17:13,295 --> 00:17:16,015
get into the spoiler free section. Let's do

442
00:17:16,015 --> 00:17:18,335
that. The spoiler free section brought to you

443
00:17:18,335 --> 00:17:19,634
by Charleston Chew,

444
00:17:20,015 --> 00:17:22,994
the great taste of Charleston Chew that sometimes

445
00:17:23,055 --> 00:17:25,154
cuts your mouth like hardened fiberglass.

446
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,240
Oh my gosh. Alright. I'm gonna get my

447
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,840
first I'm in a mood tonight, guys. I'm

448
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,480
sorry. I'm gonna get my first thoughts. And

449
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,240
now that I know who James Wong is,

450
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,160
now that I've looked him up, it makes

451
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,000
sense. Well, the entire time we're watching this,

452
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:38,900
the color grade

453
00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:40,214
was so blue

454
00:17:40,615 --> 00:17:41,515
and purple.

455
00:17:42,134 --> 00:17:42,634
And

456
00:17:43,575 --> 00:17:45,335
the the way that the future scenes were

457
00:17:45,335 --> 00:17:47,095
really interesting as far as they were, like,

458
00:17:47,095 --> 00:17:49,674
this weird, like, metallic gray, super,

459
00:17:50,375 --> 00:17:51,734
I forgot what you call it. There's there's

460
00:17:51,734 --> 00:17:53,595
a term for the futuristic

461
00:17:54,539 --> 00:17:55,039
cyber,

462
00:17:55,340 --> 00:17:56,720
you know, liquid metal

463
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:59,740
that was popular back then. Right? Yeah. But

464
00:17:59,740 --> 00:18:01,279
I looked up James Wong's,

465
00:18:02,779 --> 00:18:05,100
history of what he's done. Right? This dude

466
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:07,224
has done nothing but TV stuff up to

467
00:18:07,224 --> 00:18:09,404
this point. He did Space Above and Beyond.

468
00:18:09,464 --> 00:18:12,365
Great series, by the way. He did Millennium,

469
00:18:12,744 --> 00:18:15,085
another great series. I think you'd like Millennium.

470
00:18:15,865 --> 00:18:17,644
He did The Others, which was okay.

471
00:18:18,264 --> 00:18:20,044
Is that are you talking about the Kim

472
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:22,779
Not Kim Basinger. Are you talking about that

473
00:18:22,779 --> 00:18:25,339
movie with Tom Cruise's ex wife in it?

474
00:18:25,339 --> 00:18:27,259
No. No. This is a TV series. Oh,

475
00:18:27,259 --> 00:18:28,779
never mind. Yeah. I was saying this is

476
00:18:28,859 --> 00:18:30,299
like, the one was, like, his first real

477
00:18:30,299 --> 00:18:32,380
big movie. Nicole Kidman. That was the name

478
00:18:32,380 --> 00:18:34,984
I was looking for. Everything says TV.

479
00:18:35,445 --> 00:18:37,684
And looking at the the grain and the

480
00:18:37,684 --> 00:18:39,924
color grading of everything, so that's why I

481
00:18:39,924 --> 00:18:41,684
was watching. We're like, it almost feels like

482
00:18:41,684 --> 00:18:43,865
a made for Fox TV

483
00:18:44,565 --> 00:18:45,065
movie,

484
00:18:45,605 --> 00:18:46,884
just the way that the grain and the

485
00:18:46,884 --> 00:18:48,839
color was out. And now I realized, ever

486
00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:50,599
to this point, everything this dude would did

487
00:18:50,599 --> 00:18:51,579
was television.

488
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,640
It makes a lot of sense for me.

489
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,880
Okay. Yeah, dude. The entire time when I

490
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:56,919
was watching this movie,

491
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,759
you know, I don't know if you noticed

492
00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:00,599
my head kinda bobbing to the side, like,

493
00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:01,819
at night at the Roxbury.

494
00:19:03,424 --> 00:19:05,184
But the entire time in my head, I'm

495
00:19:05,184 --> 00:19:06,484
just like, I'm blue.

496
00:19:12,224 --> 00:19:14,964
Shout out Eiffel sixty five that your Europop

497
00:19:15,105 --> 00:19:17,424
album was a life changer for me. But,

498
00:19:18,919 --> 00:19:21,400
yeah, dude. This movie was so blue. It

499
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,940
was so blue. So blue.

500
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,279
Like and I and I'm into, like, color

501
00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:28,440
tinted movies like that, like, if they have,

502
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,839
like, a color theme to them. Mhmm. But,

503
00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:32,059
I mean, like, this was

504
00:19:32,434 --> 00:19:34,535
blue on blue on blue,

505
00:19:35,714 --> 00:19:39,414
and the soundtrack was just, you don't understand

506
00:19:39,554 --> 00:19:40,454
me, mom.

507
00:19:42,674 --> 00:19:44,515
The music choices were interesting. I think it's

508
00:19:44,515 --> 00:19:46,054
been a while since I watched a movie

509
00:19:46,275 --> 00:19:47,414
that had lyrics

510
00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:51,029
for the score. Right. And so It's because

511
00:19:51,029 --> 00:19:52,789
they're trying to sell a soundtrack as well

512
00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:54,630
as the movie. Yeah. Yeah. I was like,

513
00:19:54,630 --> 00:19:56,309
man, that's that took me back to an

514
00:19:56,309 --> 00:19:57,210
era of filmmaking.

515
00:19:57,750 --> 00:19:58,730
It really did.

516
00:19:59,110 --> 00:20:00,549
Yeah. That that that

517
00:20:01,350 --> 00:20:02,170
to compliment

518
00:20:02,605 --> 00:20:04,524
what you just said there, that was another

519
00:20:04,524 --> 00:20:06,044
thought that kept going through my head that

520
00:20:06,044 --> 00:20:08,284
I can say was spoiler free is it

521
00:20:08,284 --> 00:20:08,944
has been

522
00:20:09,244 --> 00:20:10,625
such a long,

523
00:20:11,325 --> 00:20:11,825
long

524
00:20:12,605 --> 00:20:13,105
time

525
00:20:13,644 --> 00:20:16,304
since I have seen a movie that felt

526
00:20:16,444 --> 00:20:16,944
so

527
00:20:17,910 --> 00:20:18,410
so

528
00:20:19,269 --> 00:20:22,009
of a time period as this movie did.

529
00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:24,090
Mhmm. Like, this movie

530
00:20:24,710 --> 00:20:25,930
literally felt

531
00:20:26,309 --> 00:20:27,910
like we pulled it out of a time

532
00:20:27,910 --> 00:20:28,410
capsule.

533
00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:29,210
Like,

534
00:20:29,714 --> 00:20:31,095
I remember this movie

535
00:20:31,394 --> 00:20:34,694
feeling cool and sleek when I you saw

536
00:20:34,835 --> 00:20:37,154
advertised on TV. Oh, yeah. You know what

537
00:20:37,154 --> 00:20:39,154
you know what I mean? Just watching it

538
00:20:39,154 --> 00:20:40,134
now, it feels

539
00:20:40,515 --> 00:20:41,015
so

540
00:20:41,394 --> 00:20:41,894
outdated.

541
00:20:42,210 --> 00:20:42,710
I

542
00:20:43,970 --> 00:20:45,890
I half expected to I I wanna go

543
00:20:45,890 --> 00:20:47,750
back. I wanna see if there's music videos

544
00:20:48,049 --> 00:20:49,329
based on this, kinda like,

545
00:20:49,970 --> 00:20:52,369
with, the Godzilla from '99

546
00:20:52,369 --> 00:20:53,669
with kiss of a rose.

547
00:20:54,289 --> 00:20:56,035
Like Oh, kiss of a rose came kiss

548
00:20:56,035 --> 00:20:59,154
of a rose was on, Batman Forever. That's

549
00:20:59,154 --> 00:21:00,695
right. That's right. What was the one,

550
00:21:01,154 --> 00:21:02,355
oh, gosh. It's in my head. And let

551
00:21:02,355 --> 00:21:03,875
me and let me tell you, let me

552
00:21:03,875 --> 00:21:04,855
tell you, sir,

553
00:21:05,154 --> 00:21:08,295
Batman Forever soundtrack was a straight

554
00:21:08,674 --> 00:21:10,664
end to end banger. It was a real

555
00:21:10,914 --> 00:21:11,494
I defy

556
00:21:11,849 --> 00:21:12,349
anybody

557
00:21:12,970 --> 00:21:15,549
to find a bad song on that soundtrack.

558
00:21:15,769 --> 00:21:17,929
The album came free with the comic version

559
00:21:17,929 --> 00:21:20,109
of the movie. And and if you

560
00:21:20,410 --> 00:21:22,490
if you email us and tell me which

561
00:21:22,490 --> 00:21:24,410
song is a bad song on there, I

562
00:21:24,410 --> 00:21:26,875
will delete you from my friend list because

563
00:21:26,875 --> 00:21:28,174
you are a liar.

564
00:21:28,555 --> 00:21:29,055
Pellegrino.

565
00:21:30,154 --> 00:21:32,795
Oh my gosh. But, but, yeah, man, just

566
00:21:32,795 --> 00:21:35,035
kind of an era of, like like, they

567
00:21:35,035 --> 00:21:36,795
put these lyrics with the like, they're trying

568
00:21:36,795 --> 00:21:38,634
to sell music videos and stuff like that

569
00:21:38,634 --> 00:21:40,119
time. Yeah. At the same time, this is

570
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,640
the era where Jet Li was doing stuff.

571
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,160
Like, we talked about earlier, he did a

572
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:43,720
movie with,

573
00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:46,599
who was it? I can't remember now. It

574
00:21:46,599 --> 00:21:47,420
was a rapper.

575
00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:48,539
DMX.

576
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,664
Yeah. DMX. Cradle to his grave. Yep. And

577
00:21:51,664 --> 00:21:52,784
so it was that era where he was

578
00:21:52,784 --> 00:21:54,505
doing that kind of stuff regularly. I mean

579
00:21:54,784 --> 00:21:55,284
must

580
00:21:55,664 --> 00:21:56,484
die. And,

581
00:21:56,944 --> 00:21:57,444
bro,

582
00:21:57,904 --> 00:21:58,404
he

583
00:21:59,105 --> 00:22:02,325
does wire work like a champ. Oh gosh.

584
00:22:02,784 --> 00:22:04,544
Jet Li, like, he came out at a

585
00:22:04,544 --> 00:22:07,240
time. It was post it was post crouching

586
00:22:07,299 --> 00:22:08,919
chicken hidden nugget.

587
00:22:11,619 --> 00:22:13,079
I try to respond to that.

588
00:22:13,539 --> 00:22:15,619
What's that? I try to respond to that

589
00:22:15,619 --> 00:22:16,119
statement.

590
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:18,819
No. Don't get me wrong. Don't don't don't

591
00:22:18,819 --> 00:22:20,419
don't get me don't get me wrong. I

592
00:22:20,419 --> 00:22:23,805
love Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, but it kind

593
00:22:23,805 --> 00:22:26,045
of insists on itself a little bit. I

594
00:22:26,045 --> 00:22:28,384
mean, it there there's a little bit pretentious.

595
00:22:28,605 --> 00:22:30,605
There's a little bit of pretension there, Dallas.

596
00:22:30,605 --> 00:22:32,445
Come on. I mean Come on. Chiyo and

597
00:22:32,445 --> 00:22:35,005
Fat was a and and Michelle, you they

598
00:22:35,005 --> 00:22:36,785
were they are great actors and actresses.

599
00:22:37,130 --> 00:22:39,230
No. I'm I'm not I have an artistic

600
00:22:39,450 --> 00:22:40,809
piece. It was an artistic piece. That

601
00:22:41,850 --> 00:22:43,130
let me let me let me tell you

602
00:22:43,130 --> 00:22:45,210
something. Let me tell you something. If that

603
00:22:45,289 --> 00:22:47,529
I can do have nothing but respect for

604
00:22:47,529 --> 00:22:48,110
a movie

605
00:22:48,570 --> 00:22:49,470
that started

606
00:22:50,090 --> 00:22:50,750
a trend

607
00:22:51,210 --> 00:22:52,830
in movies that lasted

608
00:22:53,465 --> 00:22:55,565
so flipping long that it became

609
00:22:55,945 --> 00:22:57,484
so grating to see

610
00:22:57,865 --> 00:22:58,365
fifteen

611
00:22:58,825 --> 00:23:02,585
years later with the magical kung fu swims

612
00:23:02,585 --> 00:23:04,205
through the air wire work.

613
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,519
But that was a trope in in those

614
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:08,200
movies anyways. Like No. I I I get

615
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,880
it. I get it. And I and I'm

616
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,500
I'm building up my annoyance

617
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,279
for a fact here. Perfect. I gotcha. The

618
00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:16,859
the the point the point I'm making is

619
00:23:17,015 --> 00:23:19,575
in this we're it's it's great we're talking

620
00:23:19,575 --> 00:23:22,055
about the Crouching Tiger instead of the movie

621
00:23:22,055 --> 00:23:23,595
we're actually watched. But,

622
00:23:24,695 --> 00:23:26,215
the point I'm trying to make here is

623
00:23:26,215 --> 00:23:29,015
Crouching Tiger did something so well the first

624
00:23:29,015 --> 00:23:31,400
time out of the gate that everybody

625
00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:34,019
that tried to do it afterwards just made

626
00:23:34,019 --> 00:23:37,059
it seem cheap. I gotcha. And so I've

627
00:23:37,059 --> 00:23:39,299
seen it done so cheap I've seen it

628
00:23:39,299 --> 00:23:40,200
done so

629
00:23:40,580 --> 00:23:41,080
incorrectly

630
00:23:41,619 --> 00:23:42,759
for so long

631
00:23:43,140 --> 00:23:45,474
that it cheapened the effect for on on

632
00:23:45,474 --> 00:23:48,674
future watches going into it. Right. But I

633
00:23:48,674 --> 00:23:51,315
can tip my hat at how original it

634
00:23:51,315 --> 00:23:53,815
was in bringing that to the western culture.

635
00:23:54,034 --> 00:23:56,034
Oh, yeah. Definitely. But, like, even far back,

636
00:23:56,034 --> 00:23:57,554
like, '91 is when he did once upon

637
00:23:57,554 --> 00:23:59,349
a time in China, the first movie. And

638
00:23:59,349 --> 00:24:00,549
they had a wire work in that. They

639
00:24:00,549 --> 00:24:02,970
had it in Black Mask. And he

640
00:24:03,349 --> 00:24:03,750
is just

641
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:07,349
it is magical to watch him work. Mhmm.

642
00:24:07,349 --> 00:24:09,669
And, what I liked, though, about the wire

643
00:24:09,669 --> 00:24:10,569
work is

644
00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:13,615
the fantastical aspect of the wire work made

645
00:24:13,615 --> 00:24:16,115
sense because of the storyline of this movie.

646
00:24:16,255 --> 00:24:18,194
Oh, for sure. For sure. Like, the storyline

647
00:24:18,815 --> 00:24:19,794
made the fantastical

648
00:24:20,575 --> 00:24:24,174
flying around so much more reasonable because of

649
00:24:24,174 --> 00:24:26,115
what was taking place. And

650
00:24:26,494 --> 00:24:29,210
I think one thing being I'm I'm starting

651
00:24:29,210 --> 00:24:30,569
to find a lot of ways to talk

652
00:24:30,569 --> 00:24:32,809
about things that kinda poke me a little

653
00:24:32,809 --> 00:24:34,409
bit without spoiling it. So this is great,

654
00:24:34,409 --> 00:24:36,089
you know, that we're kinda working through it

655
00:24:36,089 --> 00:24:38,490
like therapy. This is be therapy. That's what

656
00:24:38,490 --> 00:24:39,285
this show was.

657
00:24:40,565 --> 00:24:41,125
But, no.

658
00:24:41,924 --> 00:24:43,365
I just lost my train of thought now

659
00:24:43,365 --> 00:24:45,605
because I was trying to do that that

660
00:24:45,605 --> 00:24:48,244
bit there. Right. That makes me mad. I

661
00:24:48,244 --> 00:24:50,565
gotcha. Gotcha. I'll say this. One of the

662
00:24:50,565 --> 00:24:51,845
things I'll point out while you're thinking about

663
00:24:51,845 --> 00:24:53,829
it is I can't help but wonder if

664
00:24:53,829 --> 00:24:56,150
this era because in this era, all the

665
00:24:56,150 --> 00:24:58,390
sci fi movies made the future look kinda

666
00:24:58,390 --> 00:25:01,349
the same. It was these slate gray walls

667
00:25:01,349 --> 00:25:03,349
with metal and stuff like that. And are

668
00:25:03,349 --> 00:25:06,065
you familiar with the term millennial gray? Sounds

669
00:25:06,065 --> 00:25:07,505
familiar, but I don't think I could put

670
00:25:07,505 --> 00:25:09,585
my finger on an actual definition. It is

671
00:25:09,585 --> 00:25:10,244
this idea

672
00:25:10,704 --> 00:25:11,184
that,

673
00:25:11,505 --> 00:25:13,765
that if you go into the households

674
00:25:14,384 --> 00:25:16,464
of millennials that have been able to go

675
00:25:16,464 --> 00:25:19,285
and paint their houses or paint their businesses,

676
00:25:19,819 --> 00:25:22,220
They're all this gray color. And as I'm

677
00:25:22,220 --> 00:25:23,839
watching the scenes, I'm going,

678
00:25:24,299 --> 00:25:25,899
are we coded for this because of the

679
00:25:25,980 --> 00:25:28,220
how we viewed sci fi back in the

680
00:25:28,220 --> 00:25:30,140
day? Like, again, that liquid metal style and

681
00:25:30,140 --> 00:25:33,075
everything else? Mhmm. Mhmm. Okay. I remembered what

682
00:25:33,075 --> 00:25:34,755
I was saying now. The other thing that

683
00:25:34,755 --> 00:25:37,075
kinda graded on me on this movie and

684
00:25:37,075 --> 00:25:38,515
this is this is gonna be a hot

685
00:25:38,515 --> 00:25:41,954
take. Okay? So if there's somebody out there

686
00:25:41,954 --> 00:25:43,954
who disagrees with what I'm about to say

687
00:25:43,954 --> 00:25:46,460
or possibly could be offended by what I'm

688
00:25:46,460 --> 00:25:48,460
about to say, hey. You know what? I'm

689
00:25:48,460 --> 00:25:48,960
sorry.

690
00:25:49,339 --> 00:25:51,659
Make your own podcast about how terrible I

691
00:25:51,659 --> 00:25:53,679
have of a take about this movie.

692
00:25:54,380 --> 00:25:56,140
But what I'm what I'm gonna say is

693
00:25:56,140 --> 00:25:59,255
that for me, I have a hard time

694
00:25:59,875 --> 00:26:02,855
watching kung fu mixed with sci fi.

695
00:26:03,154 --> 00:26:05,794
Really? It's you you know how there's some

696
00:26:05,794 --> 00:26:08,375
people who can't do sweet and salty

697
00:26:08,940 --> 00:26:11,259
together? Like, they're they they'll say that it

698
00:26:11,259 --> 00:26:14,000
it doesn't go together? Or there's some weirdos

699
00:26:14,059 --> 00:26:15,740
that I used to do a podcast with

700
00:26:15,740 --> 00:26:18,539
that claim that mint and chocolate don't go

701
00:26:18,539 --> 00:26:19,039
together?

702
00:26:19,419 --> 00:26:20,399
Who said that?

703
00:26:21,579 --> 00:26:23,919
Half the cast on playing games with strangers.

704
00:26:24,220 --> 00:26:25,255
Those poor people.

705
00:26:25,555 --> 00:26:28,375
I know it. Well, for me, sci fi

706
00:26:28,595 --> 00:26:31,815
and kung fu just they don't go together.

707
00:26:31,955 --> 00:26:34,674
Like, it's like seeing the color blue and

708
00:26:34,674 --> 00:26:37,634
the color red directly next to each other.

709
00:26:37,634 --> 00:26:39,894
I can't focus well on either.

710
00:26:40,299 --> 00:26:40,799
Right.

711
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:44,460
And, like, it it Kung Fu feels without

712
00:26:44,460 --> 00:26:48,160
context in a futuristic setting for me. So

713
00:26:48,299 --> 00:26:50,059
with that, like, what were your thoughts on,

714
00:26:50,059 --> 00:26:51,119
like, the matrix?

715
00:26:51,660 --> 00:26:54,244
I had similar thing. Well, no. I I

716
00:26:54,244 --> 00:26:56,644
will I will retract on that because the

717
00:26:56,644 --> 00:26:57,784
context within

718
00:26:58,484 --> 00:26:59,224
the matrix

719
00:26:59,764 --> 00:27:01,845
made sense because it was some it was

720
00:27:01,845 --> 00:27:04,264
a a computer program. It wasn't

721
00:27:05,427 --> 00:27:07,250
do you see what I'm saying? Because for

722
00:27:07,250 --> 00:27:10,690
me, kung fu is something you spend a

723
00:27:10,690 --> 00:27:11,190
lifetime

724
00:27:11,970 --> 00:27:14,450
you know, I I understand the dance systems

725
00:27:14,450 --> 00:27:15,589
and how they work

726
00:27:16,130 --> 00:27:17,349
and things like that.

727
00:27:18,065 --> 00:27:21,204
I also understand that a lot of traditional

728
00:27:21,505 --> 00:27:24,545
kung fu's really aren't that great for personal

729
00:27:24,545 --> 00:27:26,884
defense and are more for show. Fuck.

730
00:27:29,345 --> 00:27:30,990
Hey. I have a sci fi,

731
00:27:32,190 --> 00:27:33,470
I mean I I I want I want

732
00:27:33,549 --> 00:27:35,230
I I wanna interject that out there one

733
00:27:35,230 --> 00:27:37,250
more time. That that's just my opinion.

734
00:27:38,750 --> 00:27:40,210
Kung fu feels

735
00:27:40,750 --> 00:27:43,970
more natural to me in a more traditional

736
00:27:44,509 --> 00:27:45,009
setting.

737
00:27:45,470 --> 00:27:46,609
Mhmm. And

738
00:27:47,204 --> 00:27:50,005
maybe that's just me being an idiot white

739
00:27:50,005 --> 00:27:51,944
man, and I'm totally okay

740
00:27:52,244 --> 00:27:53,144
admitting that.

741
00:27:53,525 --> 00:27:54,025
I

742
00:27:54,404 --> 00:27:56,345
know very little about

743
00:27:56,724 --> 00:27:59,044
Chinese culture and Chinese tradition because like I

744
00:27:59,044 --> 00:27:59,490
said, I

745
00:28:00,289 --> 00:28:02,950
kinda leaned into Japanese culture and tradition

746
00:28:03,250 --> 00:28:03,750
art.

747
00:28:04,049 --> 00:28:06,450
Right. So I I have a kung fu

748
00:28:06,450 --> 00:28:07,970
sci fi movie that we need to do

749
00:28:07,970 --> 00:28:09,829
later. Okay. Timecop.

750
00:28:10,450 --> 00:28:12,865
It was Jean Claude Van Damme. For why?

751
00:28:13,164 --> 00:28:14,924
I Right on the heels of him ruining

752
00:28:14,924 --> 00:28:16,224
Street Fighter. No.

753
00:28:19,724 --> 00:28:21,025
I have fam.

754
00:28:21,404 --> 00:28:23,565
Fam. For real. For real. Like, since we

755
00:28:23,565 --> 00:28:25,724
did the time cop episode, and I'm not

756
00:28:25,805 --> 00:28:28,920
like, I'm okay. Stepping outside of like, I'm

757
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,680
I I'm here. Watch. I'm gonna cut a

758
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,920
hole in the multiverse right now, and I'm

759
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,160
gonna step outside of the fabric of to

760
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,480
this of this show into the real world

761
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,599
to say, I have had no joking now.

762
00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:42,304
I have had the hardest time

763
00:28:42,764 --> 00:28:43,264
watching

764
00:28:43,565 --> 00:28:45,744
Jean Claude Van Damme in anything

765
00:28:46,684 --> 00:28:49,825
after after we did our show on Timecop.

766
00:28:50,365 --> 00:28:50,865
Right.

767
00:28:51,484 --> 00:28:52,704
In in in

768
00:28:53,005 --> 00:28:55,345
reading about how he acted.

769
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,720
I'm not I'm not not Timecop. I'm sorry.

770
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:58,220
Streetfighter.

771
00:28:58,759 --> 00:28:59,259
Yeah.

772
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,480
In in how he acted on the set

773
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,580
of that while Raul Julia

774
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,500
was there dying

775
00:29:06,039 --> 00:29:06,779
to give

776
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,380
a great performance

777
00:29:08,759 --> 00:29:10,724
on something he knew was shtick

778
00:29:11,285 --> 00:29:13,444
for his son before he knew he was

779
00:29:13,444 --> 00:29:14,664
going to pass away.

780
00:29:15,044 --> 00:29:16,105
Right. And

781
00:29:16,404 --> 00:29:17,865
Jean Claude Van Damme

782
00:29:19,204 --> 00:29:19,704
sir.

783
00:29:20,724 --> 00:29:22,585
Once I know a person's

784
00:29:22,884 --> 00:29:25,525
character, it's hard for me to see past

785
00:29:25,525 --> 00:29:27,840
that when they act. I get that. I

786
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,160
totally get that. Well, should we jump into

787
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,400
I'm sorry. I didn't mean I didn't mean

788
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,740
to to get that power going

789
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:38,335
going into the next section. Yes. Let's go

790
00:29:38,335 --> 00:29:39,875
ahead and get into the spoilers.

791
00:29:44,975 --> 00:29:46,035
Ladies and gentlemen,

792
00:29:46,815 --> 00:29:47,955
the spoiler section.

793
00:29:53,789 --> 00:29:55,869
Okay. Some spoiler stuff that we got to

794
00:29:55,869 --> 00:29:56,849
one. First off,

795
00:29:58,109 --> 00:30:00,669
the teleportation scene tripped me out at first

796
00:30:00,669 --> 00:30:02,429
where they where they hopped back to the

797
00:30:02,429 --> 00:30:04,269
other dimension. You mean where they cut their

798
00:30:04,269 --> 00:30:05,329
life into pieces

799
00:30:06,429 --> 00:30:08,130
to get back to their resort?

800
00:30:09,365 --> 00:30:09,865
Exactly.

801
00:30:10,565 --> 00:30:13,125
The, it reminded me and I I bet

802
00:30:13,125 --> 00:30:14,404
you it's the same studio who worked on

803
00:30:14,404 --> 00:30:16,024
it of the way that,

804
00:30:17,365 --> 00:30:19,784
Spawn did their teleportation scenes.

805
00:30:20,085 --> 00:30:22,250
I think that's that. Spawn came out, like,

806
00:30:22,250 --> 00:30:24,649
right about the same, about a year beforehand,

807
00:30:24,649 --> 00:30:27,049
two years beforehand. I could see that, but

808
00:30:27,049 --> 00:30:30,009
you know what it kind of reminded me

809
00:30:30,009 --> 00:30:31,929
of? And I'm gonna step back a little

810
00:30:31,929 --> 00:30:34,009
bit further back into the nineties when I

811
00:30:34,169 --> 00:30:37,164
Mhmm. When I felt I oh, yeah. Something

812
00:30:37,164 --> 00:30:38,764
else we were talking about before the show.

813
00:30:38,764 --> 00:30:41,244
I was I'm having some Mandela effect because

814
00:30:41,244 --> 00:30:43,244
I remembered seeing this movie, like, in the

815
00:30:43,244 --> 00:30:45,184
late nineties, not in the February.

816
00:30:45,325 --> 00:30:45,825
So,

817
00:30:47,484 --> 00:30:47,984
but

818
00:30:48,490 --> 00:30:50,909
it it what it reminded me of was,

819
00:30:51,450 --> 00:30:54,970
two two other movies. One, lawnmower man. Oh,

820
00:30:54,970 --> 00:30:56,750
yeah. And then two,

821
00:30:58,250 --> 00:31:00,190
it was that Russell Crowe movie.

822
00:31:00,809 --> 00:31:02,954
Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe.

823
00:31:03,595 --> 00:31:04,575
I think it was called

824
00:31:04,954 --> 00:31:05,454
Virtuosity

825
00:31:06,394 --> 00:31:09,355
where Russell Crowe was a virtual serial killer

826
00:31:09,355 --> 00:31:10,154
inside a,

827
00:31:11,034 --> 00:31:13,914
computer program trying to get out because he

828
00:31:13,914 --> 00:31:17,134
was a training program for Was that virtuosity?

829
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,640
Something like that. I know what you're talking

830
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,660
about. You know which movie I'm talking about?

831
00:31:21,799 --> 00:31:24,359
That was virtuosity was yeah. Russ Crowe and

832
00:31:24,359 --> 00:31:26,359
then the Washington. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I

833
00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:28,200
remember this movie. Man, I thought I thought

834
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,420
it would be in a hot minute.

835
00:31:29,724 --> 00:31:31,724
And first thing, I'm talking about repository of

836
00:31:31,724 --> 00:31:34,044
useless information. That's the reason why we have

837
00:31:34,044 --> 00:31:35,964
the show and and why I'm on it

838
00:31:35,964 --> 00:31:37,404
is because I know a whole bunch of

839
00:31:37,404 --> 00:31:39,744
crap that can't profit me anything in life.

840
00:31:40,365 --> 00:31:42,365
Oh, man. I thought you're talking about, Johnny

841
00:31:42,365 --> 00:31:43,264
Monica first.

842
00:31:43,644 --> 00:31:44,464
Oh, no.

843
00:31:44,845 --> 00:31:46,820
Isn't that also on our list our to

844
00:31:46,820 --> 00:31:48,519
do list for this year? Probably.

845
00:31:49,299 --> 00:31:51,619
Or have the DVD somewhere. I've never seen

846
00:31:51,619 --> 00:31:53,940
it. Oh, man, dude. I am a fan

847
00:31:53,940 --> 00:31:56,420
of Keanu Reeves, though. For some reason, I

848
00:31:56,420 --> 00:31:57,880
just find him endearing.

849
00:31:58,340 --> 00:32:00,494
Right. Maybe it's because he still plays in

850
00:32:00,494 --> 00:32:02,355
a garage band and believes in the dream.

851
00:32:03,454 --> 00:32:04,754
Possibly. Possibly.

852
00:32:05,054 --> 00:32:06,034
Alright. So,

853
00:32:07,054 --> 00:32:09,234
so, yeah, the the teleportation scene was interesting.

854
00:32:10,654 --> 00:32:13,950
The movie is so fast paced. Like, we

855
00:32:13,950 --> 00:32:15,890
jump into it, and we are going

856
00:32:16,190 --> 00:32:16,690
hard,

857
00:32:17,710 --> 00:32:20,190
from the word go. Like, it's crazy. But

858
00:32:20,190 --> 00:32:21,630
I appreciate it in the front end where

859
00:32:21,630 --> 00:32:23,390
they have the the two scenes where you

860
00:32:23,470 --> 00:32:25,470
they have where they're they're arresting you law

861
00:32:25,549 --> 00:32:27,955
or the they're they're going through this jail,

862
00:32:28,414 --> 00:32:29,315
and they are,

863
00:32:29,775 --> 00:32:31,154
trying to act, to

864
00:32:31,695 --> 00:32:33,775
escort one of the one of the Jet

865
00:32:33,775 --> 00:32:34,995
Li characters, Lawless.

866
00:32:35,615 --> 00:32:37,775
And then they flash forward to the other

867
00:32:37,775 --> 00:32:38,275
universe,

868
00:32:38,890 --> 00:32:42,269
and it's, Jet Li's character other character who's

869
00:32:42,410 --> 00:32:44,750
escorting a different prisoner. But there's those little

870
00:32:44,890 --> 00:32:46,890
little details they have. Like, on the TV,

871
00:32:46,890 --> 00:32:48,670
you have Al Gore as president,

872
00:32:49,049 --> 00:32:51,210
and then you have another TV where, Bush

873
00:32:51,210 --> 00:32:53,309
is laying out universal health care for everybody.

874
00:32:53,744 --> 00:32:54,944
So I appreciate it. Like, they were they

875
00:32:54,944 --> 00:32:56,144
were really working to make sure that you

876
00:32:56,144 --> 00:32:57,904
had those small touches of differences of the

877
00:32:57,904 --> 00:33:00,065
universe outside the fact of because sometimes you

878
00:33:00,065 --> 00:33:01,444
have those those weird

879
00:33:01,825 --> 00:33:03,984
other universes things, and it's like, we're gonna

880
00:33:03,984 --> 00:33:05,505
make it so, like, the dressing the way

881
00:33:05,505 --> 00:33:07,184
they dress is completely weird and different all

882
00:33:07,184 --> 00:33:08,404
of a sudden. You know?

883
00:33:08,940 --> 00:33:10,720
That was one thought that I did have

884
00:33:10,859 --> 00:33:13,500
in this movie was that I wish they

885
00:33:13,500 --> 00:33:15,679
would have put a little bit more

886
00:33:16,220 --> 00:33:17,839
emphasis on the differences

887
00:33:18,140 --> 00:33:20,399
of of the universes that they were showing.

888
00:33:20,619 --> 00:33:21,839
Mhmm. Because,

889
00:33:22,424 --> 00:33:23,945
I mean, I'm not I'm not talking about,

890
00:33:23,945 --> 00:33:27,305
like, demolition man style of dressing or anything.

891
00:33:27,305 --> 00:33:28,745
That was another movie I thought about while

892
00:33:28,745 --> 00:33:30,345
watching this. It felt like demolition man at

893
00:33:30,345 --> 00:33:32,684
times. I mean, they're birds of a feather.

894
00:33:34,789 --> 00:33:35,289
But,

895
00:33:35,750 --> 00:33:37,509
like, I would have liked to have seen,

896
00:33:37,509 --> 00:33:40,069
you know, just some minor things, like some

897
00:33:40,069 --> 00:33:41,990
Easter eggs in the background, like, where if

898
00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:43,589
you weren't looking for it, you would have

899
00:33:43,589 --> 00:33:46,710
missed it. Mhmm. Like, maybe a Burger King

900
00:33:46,710 --> 00:33:49,465
with golden arches on it. Right. You know?

901
00:33:50,005 --> 00:33:51,924
Or, you know, make up some brands that

902
00:33:51,924 --> 00:33:52,904
don't exist.

903
00:33:53,285 --> 00:33:55,684
Yeah. Yeah. Like like, Quentin Tarantino does that

904
00:33:55,684 --> 00:33:57,445
all the time in his movies. Like, you

905
00:33:57,445 --> 00:33:59,205
you have you've seen the Kill Bill movies.

906
00:33:59,205 --> 00:34:02,404
Right? Mhmm. Like, the Apple brand cigarettes that

907
00:34:02,404 --> 00:34:05,190
have rum coming out of them with it's

908
00:34:05,190 --> 00:34:05,690
just

909
00:34:06,070 --> 00:34:07,350
it's just really weird

910
00:34:08,150 --> 00:34:10,230
Yeah. Yeah. Nuanced things just to throw in

911
00:34:10,230 --> 00:34:12,390
the background to see if anyone's paying attention

912
00:34:12,390 --> 00:34:15,429
to other things. You know? Definitely. Definitely. I

913
00:34:15,429 --> 00:34:16,710
would have liked to have seen that. But,

914
00:34:16,710 --> 00:34:18,764
I mean, I I think that would have

915
00:34:19,085 --> 00:34:21,005
had required a writer who had a little

916
00:34:21,005 --> 00:34:22,144
bit more creativity

917
00:34:23,005 --> 00:34:24,764
than what was put on display for this

918
00:34:24,764 --> 00:34:27,085
movie. Not to say that this movie wasn't

919
00:34:27,085 --> 00:34:29,105
creative in its core theme.

920
00:34:29,565 --> 00:34:30,065
Mhmm.

921
00:34:30,444 --> 00:34:32,625
But I think that the

922
00:34:33,570 --> 00:34:37,410
director and or writer was so focused on

923
00:34:37,410 --> 00:34:38,230
the central

924
00:34:38,849 --> 00:34:39,750
on the central

925
00:34:40,210 --> 00:34:41,430
narrative that

926
00:34:41,809 --> 00:34:42,550
the surrounding

927
00:34:42,849 --> 00:34:43,989
world was kind

928
00:34:44,450 --> 00:34:45,349
of afterthought

929
00:34:45,730 --> 00:34:48,550
or just there to serve the purpose of

930
00:34:49,625 --> 00:34:51,804
the central story and thing else.

931
00:34:52,105 --> 00:34:53,784
Part of me wonders if it's a level

932
00:34:53,784 --> 00:34:56,025
of inexperience with doing movies. I'm looking back

933
00:34:56,025 --> 00:34:57,704
at the IMDB. The the other guy who

934
00:34:57,704 --> 00:34:58,525
worked on it,

935
00:34:59,065 --> 00:35:01,065
besides James Wong, was a guy named Glenn

936
00:35:01,065 --> 00:35:03,039
Morgan. He was the other writer. And he

937
00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:06,179
also did almost exclusively TV things

938
00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:08,239
up until he's the one that actually did

939
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:08,980
Final Destination.

940
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,960
And I'm wondering if that's that's the problem

941
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:13,460
is

942
00:35:13,839 --> 00:35:15,059
they're used to having,

943
00:35:15,534 --> 00:35:17,875
like, huge, long, you know,

944
00:35:18,255 --> 00:35:20,255
multi episodes to lay out a world and

945
00:35:20,255 --> 00:35:21,695
build some stuff up here. And so they're

946
00:35:21,775 --> 00:35:23,215
on their first outing, they're doing a movie.

947
00:35:23,215 --> 00:35:24,735
They're like, we gotta throw stuff in there

948
00:35:24,735 --> 00:35:26,355
quickly. I mean, maybe.

949
00:35:27,289 --> 00:35:29,210
So I got a trivia thing for you.

950
00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:31,550
Okay. So you know the opening scene where,

951
00:35:31,929 --> 00:35:33,690
Jet Li is, like, kicking all the guards

952
00:35:33,690 --> 00:35:34,750
around in that,

953
00:35:35,609 --> 00:35:37,070
that little car bay?

954
00:35:38,010 --> 00:35:40,664
Which universe? The first universe or the second

955
00:35:40,664 --> 00:35:42,445
one? The first universe of Lawless.

956
00:35:42,744 --> 00:35:45,864
Okay. Yeah. Alright. So when Yulong was doing

957
00:35:45,864 --> 00:35:47,864
all that, there was a clip that was

958
00:35:47,864 --> 00:35:48,364
released

959
00:35:48,905 --> 00:35:51,325
early as a promotional piece for this movie,

960
00:35:51,625 --> 00:35:54,510
and they screwed up because this clip was

961
00:35:54,510 --> 00:35:57,010
not supposed to go out because the CGI

962
00:35:57,390 --> 00:35:59,170
had not been done at all on it.

963
00:35:59,309 --> 00:36:01,010
What you saw was

964
00:36:01,390 --> 00:36:03,010
a scene where Jet Li

965
00:36:03,309 --> 00:36:05,309
is, like, kicking these tennis balls or hanging

966
00:36:05,309 --> 00:36:07,250
from the ceiling. Like, there's tennis balls everywhere.

967
00:36:07,385 --> 00:36:09,224
And he's kicking all these tennis balls around.

968
00:36:09,224 --> 00:36:10,905
And and everyone's going, oh, wow. This must

969
00:36:10,905 --> 00:36:12,664
be some sort of training special, like, some

970
00:36:12,664 --> 00:36:14,264
sort of training specialized training he's doing in

971
00:36:14,264 --> 00:36:15,864
the movie. Well, when they watched it, they

972
00:36:15,864 --> 00:36:18,184
were like, this wasn't in there. It's because

973
00:36:18,184 --> 00:36:18,344
if they

974
00:36:19,545 --> 00:36:20,824
that was the scene that they it was,

975
00:36:20,905 --> 00:36:22,264
marking out where he's supposed to kick for

976
00:36:22,264 --> 00:36:24,719
the, CGI kicking all the soldiers around. It's

977
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,640
crazy. Now that was that was some that

978
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,079
was some other things I noticed about this

979
00:36:28,079 --> 00:36:30,179
movie. Like, I remember this movie being, like,

980
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,000
supposed to be when it when it came

981
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,440
out, it was supposed to be this big

982
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,679
visual feast. You know what I mean? Like

983
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,300
Yeah. Yeah. That that was kinda

984
00:36:37,795 --> 00:36:40,514
the style of the time. Right. Because every

985
00:36:40,514 --> 00:36:42,614
movie had to have so much visual

986
00:36:42,914 --> 00:36:45,635
splash across the screen at any given moment

987
00:36:45,635 --> 00:36:47,635
that it was enough to send somebody who

988
00:36:47,635 --> 00:36:48,375
had ADHD

989
00:36:48,755 --> 00:36:49,255
into

990
00:36:49,954 --> 00:36:51,175
epileptic shock.

991
00:36:51,554 --> 00:36:51,900
Right.

992
00:36:54,059 --> 00:36:55,519
But the point being

993
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:57,019
that there was so much

994
00:36:57,659 --> 00:36:59,019
it it was such it was such a

995
00:36:59,019 --> 00:37:00,699
spectacle. It was supposed to be so cool.

996
00:37:00,699 --> 00:37:02,940
And then now coming back to it twenty

997
00:37:02,940 --> 00:37:04,905
five years later oh god. I feel

998
00:37:06,505 --> 00:37:08,265
old. I'm looking at it, and I'm I'm

999
00:37:08,265 --> 00:37:11,385
thinking to myself, wow. Green screen has come

1000
00:37:11,385 --> 00:37:13,565
a long way. Go Hollywood.

1001
00:37:14,425 --> 00:37:16,204
So far. Wow. CGI

1002
00:37:16,585 --> 00:37:18,844
has come a long way. Go

1003
00:37:19,144 --> 00:37:19,644
Hollywood.

1004
00:37:20,639 --> 00:37:22,980
It's gotten so much better since those days.

1005
00:37:23,039 --> 00:37:23,539
I

1006
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,859
and and then the final one was, wow.

1007
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,839
Wire stunts have come such a fun because

1008
00:37:29,839 --> 00:37:31,599
there was a couple times where it just

1009
00:37:31,599 --> 00:37:34,244
felt like a giant jump instead of someone

1010
00:37:34,244 --> 00:37:36,885
getting thrown backwards from something. It was just

1011
00:37:36,885 --> 00:37:39,545
like, oh, no. This does not look natural.

1012
00:37:40,085 --> 00:37:40,585
Yeah.

1013
00:37:41,525 --> 00:37:42,184
It was

1014
00:37:42,724 --> 00:37:45,204
stylized for sure. But but the the thing

1015
00:37:45,204 --> 00:37:47,125
about it is is you didn't notice it

1016
00:37:47,125 --> 00:37:48,880
at the time when the movie first came

1017
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:49,420
out. And

1018
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,639
I and I think a lot of those

1019
00:37:51,639 --> 00:37:54,059
dated visual effects in conjunction

1020
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:55,420
with

1021
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:56,460
the

1022
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,699
very dated soundtrack,

1023
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,579
is why this movie feels

1024
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:02,380
so

1025
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,625
locked into the time period that it's from

1026
00:38:05,625 --> 00:38:06,525
because, like,

1027
00:38:06,825 --> 00:38:09,065
this movie in in fact, this movie is

1028
00:38:09,065 --> 00:38:09,565
so

1029
00:38:10,025 --> 00:38:11,965
of its era that I

1030
00:38:12,265 --> 00:38:12,765
had

1031
00:38:13,144 --> 00:38:16,750
I had secondhand cringe at moments watching it

1032
00:38:16,750 --> 00:38:19,390
because it was so of its era. Like,

1033
00:38:19,390 --> 00:38:21,630
it it's it's like when your parents come

1034
00:38:21,630 --> 00:38:25,010
out wearing bell bottoms thinking that they're in

1035
00:38:25,070 --> 00:38:25,570
again.

1036
00:38:25,950 --> 00:38:27,710
Right. You know what I mean? And it's

1037
00:38:27,710 --> 00:38:30,269
just like, oh, no. Don't no. Don't do

1038
00:38:30,269 --> 00:38:33,204
that. Oh my gosh. That's so funny. Oh,

1039
00:38:33,204 --> 00:38:33,704
man.

1040
00:38:34,965 --> 00:38:36,804
Let's see here. So one of the things

1041
00:38:36,804 --> 00:38:38,565
that Celeste had issues with was the fight

1042
00:38:38,565 --> 00:38:40,724
scene with the MRI because the MRI was

1043
00:38:40,724 --> 00:38:42,344
still running. But they're

1044
00:38:42,644 --> 00:38:44,664
shooting bullets and all kinds of stuff, and

1045
00:38:45,069 --> 00:38:47,150
the magnetic pull of the MRI didn't really

1046
00:38:47,150 --> 00:38:49,069
seem to have an effect until they needed

1047
00:38:49,069 --> 00:38:50,690
it to. That's true.

1048
00:38:51,710 --> 00:38:53,710
That that's a little bit stupid. I don't

1049
00:38:53,710 --> 00:38:55,630
even know how a bullet would react in

1050
00:38:55,630 --> 00:38:57,730
an MRI if the pull of the magnet

1051
00:38:57,789 --> 00:38:59,714
would counter the bolt the

1052
00:39:00,335 --> 00:39:00,914
bullet's force

1053
00:39:01,295 --> 00:39:02,514
trajectory force,

1054
00:39:02,894 --> 00:39:04,894
that that'd be something I'd be interested in

1055
00:39:04,894 --> 00:39:06,974
sending the Mythbusters if they were still a

1056
00:39:06,974 --> 00:39:09,214
thing. Right. But I'm a tell you something

1057
00:39:09,214 --> 00:39:11,719
that was so cool about this movie because,

1058
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,960
again, stepping out of the stepping out of

1059
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,319
the podcast into the real world again. When

1060
00:39:17,319 --> 00:39:19,159
we watched the when I watched this movie,

1061
00:39:19,159 --> 00:39:21,319
I was watching it on my PlayStation with

1062
00:39:21,319 --> 00:39:23,179
my headphones in. Uh-huh.

1063
00:39:23,534 --> 00:39:25,454
Did you watch this movie with headphones in?

1064
00:39:25,454 --> 00:39:27,135
No. No. We watched it on our TV.

1065
00:39:27,135 --> 00:39:28,355
Oh my goodness, dude.

1066
00:39:28,734 --> 00:39:31,694
The MRI scene with headphones in Uh-huh. When

1067
00:39:31,694 --> 00:39:33,074
it was making that repeated

1068
00:39:33,454 --> 00:39:36,594
kind of knock sound that an MRI does.

1069
00:39:36,789 --> 00:39:38,869
Really? Each time each time it did it,

1070
00:39:38,869 --> 00:39:41,190
it would it would ping pong each ear

1071
00:39:41,190 --> 00:39:43,670
to so you'd have a semi hypnotic effect

1072
00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:45,750
going through your head with the knocking of

1073
00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:46,409
the MRI.

1074
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:49,954
I'm like, that is such

1075
00:39:50,335 --> 00:39:51,315
an ASMR

1076
00:39:51,695 --> 00:39:53,775
effect for me right now. Like, it made

1077
00:39:53,775 --> 00:39:54,515
my skin

1078
00:39:55,135 --> 00:39:57,215
tingle, and I'm like, I could fall I

1079
00:39:57,215 --> 00:39:59,614
need, like, a a five hour loop of

1080
00:39:59,614 --> 00:40:02,015
this to fall asleep to at night just

1081
00:40:02,015 --> 00:40:02,994
in my headphones.

1082
00:40:03,619 --> 00:40:05,780
That's so funny. That's also, like, that's the

1083
00:40:06,180 --> 00:40:07,699
that's one thing you miss out when you

1084
00:40:07,699 --> 00:40:08,760
don't have, like,

1085
00:40:09,059 --> 00:40:11,140
huge surround sound systems or everything like that.

1086
00:40:11,140 --> 00:40:13,140
Like Yeah. They definitely they they put the

1087
00:40:13,140 --> 00:40:15,719
work into this to be a a genuine,

1088
00:40:15,940 --> 00:40:19,144
like, blockbuster film where they have good sound

1089
00:40:19,144 --> 00:40:20,445
effects. They have good,

1090
00:40:20,985 --> 00:40:22,605
soundscapes and stuff like that.

1091
00:40:23,385 --> 00:40:25,065
So I like how we haven't talked about

1092
00:40:25,065 --> 00:40:27,945
Jason Statham once this entire time. I'm a

1093
00:40:27,945 --> 00:40:30,585
I'm a tell you, talking about Jason Statham

1094
00:40:30,585 --> 00:40:32,605
for me is kind of an afterthought

1095
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:36,140
just like he felt in this movie Yeah.

1096
00:40:36,260 --> 00:40:39,059
An afterthought. Like, he didn't really bring anything

1097
00:40:39,059 --> 00:40:40,900
into this except for the stand around and

1098
00:40:40,900 --> 00:40:43,380
say, hi. I'm Jason Statham. Like, he definitely

1099
00:40:43,380 --> 00:40:45,460
felt like a character that was simply there

1100
00:40:45,460 --> 00:40:47,940
for the sake of explaining the story Mhmm.

1101
00:40:48,127 --> 00:40:49,994
Like, to to Gittley. Like, that that was

1102
00:40:49,994 --> 00:40:50,494
it.

1103
00:40:51,194 --> 00:40:52,714
And to be perfectly honest, I would have

1104
00:40:52,714 --> 00:40:55,114
rather had the other agent instead of Jason

1105
00:40:55,114 --> 00:40:56,875
Statham. I think he had a bit more

1106
00:40:56,875 --> 00:41:00,255
character than Statham did. Mhmm. But, you know,

1107
00:41:00,315 --> 00:41:03,214
Statham's was Statham was the up and coming

1108
00:41:03,594 --> 00:41:04,920
new guy at the time.

1109
00:41:05,219 --> 00:41:07,699
Mhmm. I'm looking at Zayendv. He put out

1110
00:41:07,699 --> 00:41:09,400
the Ghost of Mars before this.

1111
00:41:09,699 --> 00:41:10,199
Statham?

1112
00:41:10,579 --> 00:41:12,659
Mhmm. I haven't seen the Ghost of Mars

1113
00:41:12,659 --> 00:41:13,480
yet. So

1114
00:41:14,260 --> 00:41:16,260
I think you like that. Was that the

1115
00:41:16,260 --> 00:41:18,119
was that the John Carpenter movie?

1116
00:41:18,739 --> 00:41:19,239
Yes.

1117
00:41:19,704 --> 00:41:22,105
Yeah. I it that's on my to to

1118
00:41:22,105 --> 00:41:24,924
watch list. I always just haven't well,

1119
00:41:25,304 --> 00:41:27,385
for some reason, my wife doesn't wanna watch

1120
00:41:27,385 --> 00:41:29,464
it. And watching movies when she's not home

1121
00:41:29,464 --> 00:41:31,625
is difficult for me because there's other things

1122
00:41:31,625 --> 00:41:34,059
I'd rather be doing, like playing video games.

1123
00:41:34,199 --> 00:41:36,199
I get that. It also has Ice Cube

1124
00:41:36,199 --> 00:41:37,800
and Pam Grier in it, by the way.

1125
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,599
I'm into Ice Cube, but that's a topic

1126
00:41:40,599 --> 00:41:42,280
for a different time. I'm more into his

1127
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:42,780
music.

1128
00:41:44,119 --> 00:41:45,719
But getting back to what you were saying,

1129
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,534
how how they put time and and resources

1130
00:41:48,594 --> 00:41:50,994
into this movie. This movie did for in

1131
00:41:50,994 --> 00:41:52,594
in $2,001

1132
00:41:52,594 --> 00:41:54,295
now, mind you. So

1133
00:41:54,594 --> 00:41:56,134
this is post 09/11,

1134
00:41:56,194 --> 00:41:56,934
same year.

1135
00:41:57,315 --> 00:41:57,795
Mhmm.

1136
00:41:58,514 --> 00:42:01,739
This movie was budgeted at $49,000,000,

1137
00:42:01,739 --> 00:42:03,260
which is a high Wow. Which is a

1138
00:42:03,260 --> 00:42:04,000
high dollar

1139
00:42:04,460 --> 00:42:05,280
price tag.

1140
00:42:05,579 --> 00:42:08,780
Right. And and at the end of box

1141
00:42:08,780 --> 00:42:09,280
office

1142
00:42:10,380 --> 00:42:11,199
gross worldwide,

1143
00:42:11,500 --> 00:42:14,079
they they it came in at 79,000,000.

1144
00:42:14,219 --> 00:42:14,380
So

1145
00:42:15,180 --> 00:42:15,680
Yeah.

1146
00:42:16,425 --> 00:42:17,485
Kind of successful.

1147
00:42:18,105 --> 00:42:18,925
Kind of?

1148
00:42:19,864 --> 00:42:23,065
It made money, not much. Yeah. Because what

1149
00:42:23,065 --> 00:42:24,824
they don't tell you in that budget

1150
00:42:25,224 --> 00:42:27,315
what's not in that budget is the,

1151
00:42:28,199 --> 00:42:28,699
promotional.

1152
00:42:29,079 --> 00:42:31,019
And boy, was this movie promoted.

1153
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,699
Oh, man. How many standees and or posters

1154
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,139
did you see that year?

1155
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,219
Mhmm. Tons. So much blue.

1156
00:42:39,079 --> 00:42:41,980
Crazy stuff. So I wanna give one last

1157
00:42:42,844 --> 00:42:44,844
spoiler thing that I really appreciated, and that

1158
00:42:44,844 --> 00:42:46,944
was the final site fight between,

1159
00:42:47,644 --> 00:42:48,625
the two Jetlys.

1160
00:42:49,644 --> 00:42:51,324
Makes you wonder which one had the green

1161
00:42:51,324 --> 00:42:51,824
face.

1162
00:42:53,405 --> 00:42:54,944
Ew. Like, I genuinely

1163
00:42:55,244 --> 00:42:58,019
appreciated the way that Jetly was like, hey.

1164
00:42:58,019 --> 00:42:59,940
We're gonna do two different fighting styles for

1165
00:42:59,940 --> 00:43:01,780
it. And he had you law fighting in

1166
00:43:01,780 --> 00:43:02,519
that very

1167
00:43:03,059 --> 00:43:05,940
boxer aggressive style, whereas Gabe Law was doing

1168
00:43:05,940 --> 00:43:07,239
the whole very, like,

1169
00:43:07,699 --> 00:43:08,199
circular

1170
00:43:08,579 --> 00:43:10,420
flowing with emotion type of thing to kinda

1171
00:43:10,420 --> 00:43:12,534
highlight the differences in their in their mindsets

1172
00:43:12,594 --> 00:43:14,275
and who they were. Like, I thought that

1173
00:43:14,275 --> 00:43:16,454
was a nice touch within that fight scene.

1174
00:43:16,514 --> 00:43:18,275
Oh my god. Oh my god. I just

1175
00:43:18,275 --> 00:43:19,875
I just had the best idea for a

1176
00:43:19,875 --> 00:43:21,815
sequel to this movie. Oh goodness.

1177
00:43:22,114 --> 00:43:23,474
Hear me out. Hear me out. Hear me

1178
00:43:23,474 --> 00:43:24,694
out. Mhmm.

1179
00:43:25,070 --> 00:43:25,809
What if

1180
00:43:26,190 --> 00:43:26,929
what if

1181
00:43:27,309 --> 00:43:28,210
Jet Li becomes

1182
00:43:28,989 --> 00:43:29,969
a a multiverse

1183
00:43:30,269 --> 00:43:33,150
cop? Right? Like, they he decides to enlist

1184
00:43:33,150 --> 00:43:34,210
into that multiverse

1185
00:43:34,829 --> 00:43:36,750
institution. They're like and they're like, yeah. We're

1186
00:43:36,750 --> 00:43:38,269
gonna take him on because he's got all

1187
00:43:38,269 --> 00:43:39,409
these rad superpowers

1188
00:43:39,710 --> 00:43:41,695
now. But then all of a sudden, there's,

1189
00:43:41,695 --> 00:43:42,514
like, other

1190
00:43:42,974 --> 00:43:44,655
he finds out they find out, like, there's

1191
00:43:44,655 --> 00:43:47,215
others in the institution that had similar stories

1192
00:43:47,215 --> 00:43:49,775
to them. Right? And then Jackie Chan comes

1193
00:43:49,775 --> 00:43:50,734
out as an older

1194
00:43:51,215 --> 00:43:52,434
like like, an older

1195
00:43:52,769 --> 00:43:54,530
person who's gone through a Jet Li's and,

1196
00:43:54,530 --> 00:43:56,710
like and so he has all those superpowers

1197
00:43:56,849 --> 00:43:57,909
too, and he understands,

1198
00:43:58,369 --> 00:44:00,530
you know, the whole the one concept as

1199
00:44:00,530 --> 00:44:03,010
well. And they're talking to each other. But

1200
00:44:03,010 --> 00:44:05,590
Jackie Chan's talking to him with a Scottish

1201
00:44:05,650 --> 00:44:07,750
accent, and they call him the Spaniard

1202
00:44:08,255 --> 00:44:09,074
for the sequel.

1203
00:44:10,335 --> 00:44:11,394
Oh my gosh.

1204
00:44:11,775 --> 00:44:12,675
That's wild.

1205
00:44:12,974 --> 00:44:15,295
That would be absolutely wild. Somewhere out there,

1206
00:44:15,295 --> 00:44:17,054
there's five people laughing who know what I

1207
00:44:17,054 --> 00:44:20,175
just did there. Mhmm. Mhmm. That that that'll

1208
00:44:20,175 --> 00:44:22,460
be a little deep cut, little Easter egg

1209
00:44:22,460 --> 00:44:23,980
for people who are willing to do the

1210
00:44:23,980 --> 00:44:25,980
work and the mental gymnastics of what I

1211
00:44:25,980 --> 00:44:27,599
just made Dallas go through.

1212
00:44:29,579 --> 00:44:32,300
Oh my gosh. It was the calling him

1213
00:44:32,300 --> 00:44:33,760
the Spaniard. I was like

1214
00:44:34,445 --> 00:44:36,605
I wasn't sure how how on the nose

1215
00:44:36,605 --> 00:44:38,764
I should get with the reference before I

1216
00:44:39,244 --> 00:44:40,764
You just bloodied the nose. What are you

1217
00:44:40,764 --> 00:44:41,425
talking about?

1218
00:44:43,244 --> 00:44:45,005
I just punched you right into it. You

1219
00:44:45,005 --> 00:44:45,505
know?

1220
00:44:47,405 --> 00:44:48,385
Oh my gosh.

1221
00:44:48,690 --> 00:44:50,769
Alright. No. Do we have any final go

1222
00:44:50,769 --> 00:44:52,289
ahead. I was I was asking if you

1223
00:44:52,289 --> 00:44:53,969
have any final thoughts on it. I don't

1224
00:44:53,969 --> 00:44:55,170
have any final thoughts. Do you have any

1225
00:44:55,170 --> 00:44:55,909
final thoughts?

1226
00:44:56,210 --> 00:44:58,769
I don't think so. Alright. Well, let's, rate

1227
00:44:58,769 --> 00:44:59,429
the movie,

1228
00:44:59,730 --> 00:45:02,784
Oh, Captain, My Captain. Let's do it. Alright.

1229
00:45:02,784 --> 00:45:04,864
Well, here on the final here on the

1230
00:45:04,864 --> 00:45:08,085
final shelf gosh. That sound that sounds ominous.

1231
00:45:08,144 --> 00:45:10,465
Let's try that again. Here on the bottom

1232
00:45:10,465 --> 00:45:13,344
shelf, we have a rating system that is

1233
00:45:13,344 --> 00:45:15,125
composed of four different ratings.

1234
00:45:16,199 --> 00:45:18,199
First is the top shelf, which you could

1235
00:45:18,199 --> 00:45:19,820
be kinda described as

1236
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,719
I need to own this movie. I need

1237
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,980
to buy a physical copy and

1238
00:45:24,359 --> 00:45:26,119
so I can watch this whenever I should

1239
00:45:26,119 --> 00:45:27,019
feel the urge.

1240
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,074
Middle shelf is I'd watch it if it

1241
00:45:30,074 --> 00:45:30,815
was streaming.

1242
00:45:31,594 --> 00:45:32,875
You know, I don't think I would own

1243
00:45:32,875 --> 00:45:34,635
it, but I wouldn't turn it off if

1244
00:45:34,635 --> 00:45:36,175
it was on TV or something.

1245
00:45:36,635 --> 00:45:38,554
Bottom shelf is I probably won't watch it

1246
00:45:38,554 --> 00:45:39,994
again. I'm not gonna go out of my

1247
00:45:39,994 --> 00:45:41,369
way to watch it, but I'm not gonna

1248
00:45:41,369 --> 00:45:42,730
go out of my way to tell other

1249
00:45:42,730 --> 00:45:44,569
people not to. And the dumpster fire is

1250
00:45:44,569 --> 00:45:45,150
I will

1251
00:45:45,449 --> 00:45:47,869
make for certain that people in my friends'

1252
00:45:48,089 --> 00:45:50,170
friend groups are not hurt by this movie

1253
00:45:50,170 --> 00:45:51,929
the same way I was, and we're going

1254
00:45:51,929 --> 00:45:53,230
to strike it from existence.

1255
00:45:55,224 --> 00:45:56,605
So, captain, my captain,

1256
00:45:57,304 --> 00:45:58,764
give me your rating.

1257
00:45:59,224 --> 00:46:00,025
My rating

1258
00:46:00,585 --> 00:46:02,764
excuse me. My rating is

1259
00:46:03,385 --> 00:46:05,400
middle shelf. Like, I enjoy the movie. It's

1260
00:46:05,559 --> 00:46:07,799
fun. It's locked. It's definitely locked into a

1261
00:46:07,799 --> 00:46:09,880
time frame, but it's entertaining. So if it

1262
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,719
was streaming, if it's something that somebody was

1263
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,319
watching when I came in, I'd definitely sit

1264
00:46:13,319 --> 00:46:15,159
down and watch it. And because, again, I

1265
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,239
again, I am a legitimate fan of Jet

1266
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,250
Li, though. I enjoy his movies. And so,

1267
00:46:20,855 --> 00:46:21,974
it's not one that I'm just like, I

1268
00:46:21,974 --> 00:46:24,315
need to go buy this right now, but

1269
00:46:24,375 --> 00:46:26,375
I like it. I can dig it. I'm

1270
00:46:26,375 --> 00:46:28,214
kinda right there with you if I'm being

1271
00:46:28,214 --> 00:46:29,194
completely honest.

1272
00:46:30,534 --> 00:46:33,275
Like, this isn't a movie that I'm like,

1273
00:46:33,414 --> 00:46:35,174
I need to own this. I want to

1274
00:46:35,174 --> 00:46:36,090
have it. You know?

1275
00:46:37,450 --> 00:46:39,289
This is a movie that's very much of

1276
00:46:39,289 --> 00:46:42,110
its time. And if it was on streaming,

1277
00:46:42,489 --> 00:46:45,309
I would watch this on a Sunday afternoon

1278
00:46:45,610 --> 00:46:48,030
after coming home from church while I'm

1279
00:46:48,489 --> 00:46:50,969
eating some ramen that I just made for

1280
00:46:50,969 --> 00:46:51,469
lunch.

1281
00:46:51,934 --> 00:46:54,494
Yeah. You know, just kinda watching the TV

1282
00:46:54,494 --> 00:46:57,454
in half paying attention to it. That's a

1283
00:46:57,454 --> 00:46:58,195
fair assessment.

1284
00:46:59,534 --> 00:47:01,375
And if I was actually gonna pay full

1285
00:47:01,375 --> 00:47:03,534
attention to it, I would probably enjoy it

1286
00:47:03,534 --> 00:47:04,914
for all the wrong reasons.

1287
00:47:06,519 --> 00:47:08,119
But, you know, I wouldn't I wouldn't be

1288
00:47:08,119 --> 00:47:10,360
like, turn that garbage off if someone had

1289
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,280
it on or anything like that. It it's

1290
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:12,680
a very

1291
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,420
this movie is as satisfying

1292
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:17,500
as chewing on Play Doh.

1293
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:18,300
What?

1294
00:47:18,684 --> 00:47:20,764
It seems like it's gonna be tastier than

1295
00:47:20,764 --> 00:47:22,545
what it is. You know what I mean?

1296
00:47:23,324 --> 00:47:24,545
It it looks fantastic,

1297
00:47:24,844 --> 00:47:26,224
but then once you really

1298
00:47:26,525 --> 00:47:28,605
swirl it around on your palate, it's a

1299
00:47:28,605 --> 00:47:30,444
big old nothing burger. You know what I

1300
00:47:30,444 --> 00:47:32,339
mean? I mean, that's fair. Like, I'm gonna

1301
00:47:32,339 --> 00:47:33,940
I'm gonna walk away from this, and it's

1302
00:47:33,940 --> 00:47:35,299
gonna be like a fart and a fan

1303
00:47:35,299 --> 00:47:37,059
storm. It's a fan story. It's just gonna

1304
00:47:37,059 --> 00:47:38,819
be it's gonna be lost, and I'm gonna

1305
00:47:38,819 --> 00:47:40,339
be like, what was that movie about? It

1306
00:47:40,339 --> 00:47:41,239
was blue,

1307
00:47:42,819 --> 00:47:44,920
Jet Li fighting Jet Li,

1308
00:47:45,344 --> 00:47:46,965
and a lot of

1309
00:47:47,344 --> 00:47:48,085
new metal.

1310
00:47:48,465 --> 00:47:51,025
A lot of new metal. Alright. Cool. Well,

1311
00:47:51,025 --> 00:47:52,644
ladies and gentlemen, it is a unanimous

1312
00:47:53,344 --> 00:47:55,025
middle shelf for us here at the bottom

1313
00:47:55,025 --> 00:47:56,945
shelf. Love to hear from you guys. What

1314
00:47:56,945 --> 00:47:57,984
do you guys think of it? If you're

1315
00:47:57,984 --> 00:47:59,789
on the YouTube side, leave a comment in

1316
00:47:59,789 --> 00:48:00,929
the comment section.

1317
00:48:01,550 --> 00:48:03,890
Talk to us in the Discord channel. And,

1318
00:48:04,510 --> 00:48:07,230
yeah. Well, John, are we ready for something

1319
00:48:07,230 --> 00:48:09,869
special? Are you talking about are you talking

1320
00:48:09,869 --> 00:48:11,090
about the the,

1321
00:48:12,030 --> 00:48:13,570
weak connection section?

1322
00:48:14,030 --> 00:48:16,164
Yeah. Before we get there, I had a

1323
00:48:16,164 --> 00:48:18,085
question when I was watching this movie. And

1324
00:48:18,085 --> 00:48:20,724
as a pastor, I'm gonna rely on your

1325
00:48:20,724 --> 00:48:23,385
moral compass to answer it. Oh my goodness.

1326
00:48:24,885 --> 00:48:27,684
So the Jet Li that was going through

1327
00:48:27,684 --> 00:48:28,425
the multiverse

1328
00:48:28,969 --> 00:48:30,670
killing all the other Jet Li's,

1329
00:48:31,049 --> 00:48:33,230
was he committing homicide or suicide?

1330
00:48:33,849 --> 00:48:35,789
Homicide. There were two distinct individuals.

1331
00:48:36,250 --> 00:48:36,909
Fair enough.

1332
00:48:39,130 --> 00:48:40,750
Also, a touch of genocide.

1333
00:48:41,285 --> 00:48:44,164
I mean, he was technically only killing one

1334
00:48:44,164 --> 00:48:46,485
person. So, I mean, is it It's a

1335
00:48:46,485 --> 00:48:47,625
whole group of individuals.

1336
00:48:47,925 --> 00:48:50,325
But it's just one person. It's the same

1337
00:48:50,325 --> 00:48:50,825
person.

1338
00:48:51,285 --> 00:48:53,925
Same person, but it's one one distinct group

1339
00:48:53,925 --> 00:48:56,590
of people. That's what genocide is. The eradication

1340
00:48:56,650 --> 00:48:58,030
of a complete group of individuals.

1341
00:48:58,570 --> 00:49:01,289
So wait. Then would that make Jesus dying

1342
00:49:01,289 --> 00:49:02,510
on the cross a genocide?

1343
00:49:03,530 --> 00:49:06,030
No. No. It would not. Hit the bumper.

1344
00:49:07,050 --> 00:49:08,909
This is a We Connection.

1345
00:49:11,015 --> 00:49:13,015
Oh, hello. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the

1346
00:49:13,015 --> 00:49:15,035
weak connections where we watch a movie and

1347
00:49:15,094 --> 00:49:17,815
try to bring out something spiritual, something, encouraging,

1348
00:49:17,815 --> 00:49:19,175
something to point you back to some hope,

1349
00:49:19,175 --> 00:49:20,635
love, and Jesus. And today,

1350
00:49:21,094 --> 00:49:22,235
John, do you have one?

1351
00:49:23,255 --> 00:49:25,914
I have some observations, but nothing super solid.

1352
00:49:26,079 --> 00:49:27,599
So I have I have a super weak

1353
00:49:27,599 --> 00:49:29,380
connection if you wanna put it in there.

1354
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,519
I gotcha. Well, for mine, I was looking

1355
00:49:31,519 --> 00:49:32,980
at the, the scene where,

1356
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,019
Gabe is talking with Jason Statham's character,

1357
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:37,380
and

1358
00:49:37,679 --> 00:49:38,900
he's talking about how,

1359
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:40,019
you know,

1360
00:49:40,344 --> 00:49:43,305
him and, the other Yulaw, they're they're the

1361
00:49:43,305 --> 00:49:44,605
same person, but they're different.

1362
00:49:44,905 --> 00:49:45,405
And

1363
00:49:45,864 --> 00:49:48,184
Gabe said that he's different because of of

1364
00:49:48,184 --> 00:49:50,664
his wife who is now dead. That he

1365
00:49:50,664 --> 00:49:52,505
is not the same person as the other

1366
00:49:52,505 --> 00:49:54,425
guy because of her influence. And there that

1367
00:49:54,425 --> 00:49:56,559
is a whole aspect where the influence of

1368
00:49:56,559 --> 00:49:58,960
people's people in your lives does affect who

1369
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,260
you are and who you become.

1370
00:50:00,679 --> 00:50:02,880
I think about Proverbs twenty seven seventeen, as

1371
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,359
iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

1372
00:50:05,359 --> 00:50:05,940
And that's,

1373
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,945
you know, I'm simplifying this really. But

1374
00:50:09,325 --> 00:50:11,485
you and I, you know, we encourage each

1375
00:50:11,485 --> 00:50:13,325
other. We challenge each other. You know, the

1376
00:50:13,325 --> 00:50:14,844
things that you have there are things you've

1377
00:50:14,844 --> 00:50:16,605
influenced me with. There are things I've influenced

1378
00:50:16,605 --> 00:50:18,684
you with. That's how we're supposed to do

1379
00:50:18,684 --> 00:50:21,164
things as a community. And I wanna encourage

1380
00:50:21,164 --> 00:50:22,065
those who are listening.

1381
00:50:22,469 --> 00:50:24,710
Don't second guess guess your influence in the

1382
00:50:24,710 --> 00:50:26,469
lives of people. There are people in your

1383
00:50:26,469 --> 00:50:27,289
lives who,

1384
00:50:28,230 --> 00:50:28,730
you

1385
00:50:29,109 --> 00:50:31,590
matter in some fashion. And the way you

1386
00:50:31,590 --> 00:50:33,449
treat them, the way you speak to them,

1387
00:50:33,510 --> 00:50:35,369
they will affect them both for the positive

1388
00:50:35,429 --> 00:50:36,489
and for the negative.

1389
00:50:36,855 --> 00:50:38,534
And, even if the it doesn't seem like

1390
00:50:38,534 --> 00:50:40,695
they're paying attention, they are. They do see

1391
00:50:40,695 --> 00:50:41,675
it. And

1392
00:50:41,974 --> 00:50:44,054
your responsibility is simply just to be steady

1393
00:50:44,054 --> 00:50:45,974
as best you can as you encourage people

1394
00:50:45,974 --> 00:50:47,655
to become what they're called to be. And

1395
00:50:47,655 --> 00:50:48,630
that's my weak connection.

1396
00:50:49,029 --> 00:50:49,529
Alright.

1397
00:50:49,829 --> 00:50:53,210
So my observation kinda stems from the whole

1398
00:50:53,750 --> 00:50:55,609
concept of this movie where,

1399
00:50:56,389 --> 00:50:58,309
you kill your other selves in the other

1400
00:50:58,309 --> 00:51:01,190
multiverse and the energy that connects all the

1401
00:51:01,190 --> 00:51:04,385
yous across the, apparently, a 124

1402
00:51:04,385 --> 00:51:04,885
multiverses.

1403
00:51:07,184 --> 00:51:08,485
So 125.

1404
00:51:08,545 --> 00:51:11,105
Oh, yeah. I keep forgetting about the one

1405
00:51:11,105 --> 00:51:11,605
with

1406
00:51:11,985 --> 00:51:13,204
the actual agency.

1407
00:51:13,824 --> 00:51:15,125
Right. But I digress.

1408
00:51:16,065 --> 00:51:18,570
That that you absorb that in in that

1409
00:51:18,969 --> 00:51:20,349
made me kinda think of

1410
00:51:21,050 --> 00:51:23,469
kind of along the lines of,

1411
00:51:23,930 --> 00:51:26,969
I'm trying to remember what Galatians five twenty

1412
00:51:26,969 --> 00:51:27,469
four,

1413
00:51:28,730 --> 00:51:31,369
which is for those who belong to Christ

1414
00:51:31,369 --> 00:51:33,309
Jesus have nailed our own sinful

1415
00:51:33,744 --> 00:51:35,605
selves on the cross, our sinful

1416
00:51:35,905 --> 00:51:38,545
desires are now dead. And it kind of

1417
00:51:38,545 --> 00:51:40,405
brought into line the whole concept

1418
00:51:41,105 --> 00:51:43,264
of killing your flesh to become a new

1419
00:51:43,264 --> 00:51:43,764
creation

1420
00:51:44,385 --> 00:51:47,239
Yeah. And become empowered in the spirit.

1421
00:51:48,179 --> 00:51:48,659
And,

1422
00:51:49,059 --> 00:51:51,639
this is a weak connection in the purest

1423
00:51:52,260 --> 00:51:55,079
form in how it relates to the original

1424
00:51:55,699 --> 00:51:58,840
the original idea that Ben Avery was doing,

1425
00:51:59,765 --> 00:52:00,204
with,

1426
00:52:00,644 --> 00:52:02,505
over on Strangers and Aliens,

1427
00:52:04,005 --> 00:52:05,545
in that, it really

1428
00:52:05,925 --> 00:52:08,565
doesn't. It's a super huge reach as far

1429
00:52:08,565 --> 00:52:10,184
as as far as

1430
00:52:10,565 --> 00:52:12,565
what I'm saying in in the movie. But

1431
00:52:12,565 --> 00:52:14,244
in the same sense, in the in the

1432
00:52:14,244 --> 00:52:16,380
Christian mind when I was watching this movie,

1433
00:52:16,380 --> 00:52:18,300
that's really something that stuck out to me

1434
00:52:18,300 --> 00:52:19,519
was this whole idea

1435
00:52:20,059 --> 00:52:21,519
of how it kinda parallels

1436
00:52:21,980 --> 00:52:24,800
in sort of a parable for a parabolic

1437
00:52:25,019 --> 00:52:26,639
form Yeah. Where,

1438
00:52:27,339 --> 00:52:29,405
you know, you you're murdering

1439
00:52:29,785 --> 00:52:33,065
you're murdering this other nature of yourself to

1440
00:52:33,065 --> 00:52:34,364
be reborn

1441
00:52:34,825 --> 00:52:35,724
by energy

1442
00:52:36,184 --> 00:52:38,825
from the spirit, if that makes sense. Yeah.

1443
00:52:38,825 --> 00:52:40,825
Yeah. So it it's just kind of a

1444
00:52:40,825 --> 00:52:43,130
weird wrap around to be like, hey. This

1445
00:52:43,130 --> 00:52:45,450
this is an illustration for that. But it

1446
00:52:45,450 --> 00:52:46,989
works much in the same

1447
00:52:47,690 --> 00:52:49,690
about just as well as all the,

1448
00:52:50,890 --> 00:52:53,450
analogies that youth pastors made about,

1449
00:52:54,090 --> 00:52:56,250
about the matrix back in the nineties when

1450
00:52:56,250 --> 00:52:57,434
those came out. So

1451
00:52:57,835 --> 00:52:58,974
