The inaugural Champion gets crowned this July When Kohler, global design leader in luxurious kitchen and bath products, ask me to be their ambassador for timeless, elegant, durable cast iron I said, I'm in Soon after, I was in there Kooller Wisconsin Foundry Watching molten iron poured ennamel applied by hand and the beautiful finished pieces ready to ship. Since eighteen eighty three, Koler cast iron has been crafted by incredible artisans and seeing it firsthand G me a whole new appreciation for their craftsmanship I amm proud to lend my stff of approval to my favorite Kar cast iron products for their durability beauty and enduring style. Shop my curated picks at Kohler. com As the Kher cast Iron Ambassador, I say Long live cast iron The other day, while grilled up some man meat Some steakakes. I do Michael Once again As we do every single summer. I am hit directly in the face by a lot of smoke and gets in my eyes, makes my eyes water very, very red. I'm going to ask you as the smoke expert.. What am I supposed to do It's just sort of a part of grilling There's a fire cate smoke. I know, but I've asked you in the past What is the least lame way to protect my eyes? Because protecting yourself By definition is lame. I think you should just wear some googs. Do you think I can wear rec specks? Sure. why not so stupid. My actual answer, I think would be Probably grilling it too high of a heat. That makes a better food Pint of no return. I mean, I get I get it, but my guess is if You're dealing with a lot of smoke all the time, you're probably getting it too hot. But what's more important, the taste or my eyes No, there's there's a marriage there. The taste I don't I don't think you're sacrificing on taste if you grill it right now. I guess it depends on what you're grilling. And are you using any sort of oils as you toss them the grill? You're just letting the natural juices do this? I'll slather some olive oil on there. Yeah, see, that's your issue. Number one, you gott to use at least avocad oil. it's a higher smoke I think olive oil is like four hundred Avocado oil is five hundred degrees Fahrenheit So that means if your grill is under five hundred degrees. You're not going to get the smoke from the oil with olive oil. It's like three eighty or four hundred. I'm usually hitting about at seven hundred, though. That's where I would start with first, especially with steaks and meats. switch to avocado Do you think if I wore really big sunglasses I would look cool And people wouldn't know that I was crying. Yeah. Or you could do goggles under really big sunglasses. So you want me to do bigig science Bill nice ucking goggles.. and then put aviators on over them. Yeah Yeah, there you go I'm Mac. And we are the Mac and Goo program. We bring you friendship and If you're watching on YouTube right now We are drenched. I'll tell you right now so far, it's not too bad in this basement. In about twenty or thirty minutes, probably going to get pretty hot. I saw what I what I a little peek behind the curtain here. L the people into your home. metaphorical and physical I'm recording in my basement. My basement has two rooms. a finished and an unfinished room. We're in the finished part of it hurting to separate this from the unfinished is a doorway but no door The unfinished part has the washer dryer, et cetera I've grown away. in twenty four hours and I'm working twenty four hours straight So I got to get all my laundry and packing done today before I leave for work tonight I'm running laundry all day long, all day long, all day long because of course, I procrastinate And it's getting hotter than it was an hour ago because I'm just running machinery down I live on the second floor of a house. I am not subterranean like. So I am a little a little well insulated here. It's not unbearable, but the headphones don't help either. No. the worst cans about the over ear as opposed to on air or earbuds is your ears and your head. Just retain that heat. If I pass out, you guys know why I'll call nine eleven for you. No, you should like rush to my house and save me. No, because then I get all your trinkets if you die. I don't remember the last time we did this, but today Doing five prettyretty new and notable movies here I have two Goo has three and then we have one that you put in there. Are we gonna talk about she detectives? You can talk about it. I haven't watched it yet. Yeah, don mayaybe I'll mention it. So maybe six movies here. S all have had Deent success in the form of box office Notable. or yeah, notable is the wor for them. You might have already said nototable. I might just be. I did No, that's a good word. Notable's a good word. Hell yeah, put one on the board if I had the sound effect. The unfortunate truth today is there's no crossover with good No crossover. So when backac talks I'm gonna to leave the air conditioning. then when I talk Max's gonna to leave. I haven't seen it. And he's gonna dry off his bald head. Are you someone like a Craig Robinson who carries around a towel Depends what the activity is and the temperature is, but like if I'm golfing, obviously I'll have some towels. Maybe if I'm out for the day somewhere and I know I goingm to be outdoors, I'll bring a fac ey towel. Fac eye towel or like a nineties quarterback towel Without further adu Let's jump into it. We'll start you off with backrooms, Goo. The backrooms has been in the theaters for a month now. This is theaters on may twenty ninth. It's an A twenty four production. G, it is doing gang busters. It's still making money at the theater up to three hundred thirty point eight million worldwide hundred and eighty four domestic, all of that goo off a ten million dollar budget. So this has been a massive success for everyone involved and this has become notable along with obsession. It is crazy how at first when this came out, this overshadowed obsession. and then since then after that first week obsession jumped right back ahead of it. I think this was one that a lot of people had anticipated because of everything involved with it. And then I think obsession was just so good and getting compared to this and people realizing like, oh obsession is better that it also could again att the point of when this was released, Kaine Parsons, the director twenty years old, now, that piece of shit is twenty one Yeah, we'll talk about that too in a second. G This is an R rated horror sci fi and thriller You have sub genres here are found footage Psychological horror and psychological thrill. supernatural horror This is a runtime of one hundred and ten minutes on Roddy T's eighty seven percent from the critics seventy four percent from the audience. a seventy seven on metacritic. And so in general, this is one that the critics are liking more than the audience And I think once you see that, you start to understand why it's weird. It's weird It takes some swings It's, you know, you're dealing with psychological stuff that maybe a lot of comers just aren't really picking up on that maybe some more cultured folk are. Also this movie and I I haven't seen it But Macz Promises a lot. Does it give you So that was at least the issue for me. I don't know if people had that issue the first couple weeks, but because this has been getting hyped so much and on that same level roughly as obsession I was expecting prettyretty great movie And what was delivered was a real mixed bag. The first like thirty minutes of this Kind of stink, kind of bad. like if I was Watching on my own, I would have shut it off, but we had a couple people. Watching on my own. But right around thirty minutes, something happens likeike swerves you and you're like, oh, I wasn't expecting that at all. And then the next like hour hour twenty is really good. reallyally intriguing. But then the final like fifteen stink again So The best way to describe this for me is Someone made a sandwich with still bread The meat and the components great the bread tast. Is the bread stale or is it's starting to turn a little green? Whatever you want to call it because you can still toast stale bread and it's still edible. Maybe one side of it is molded. the other side's just stale. It's a really weird journey that this movie takes sh. I've seen that if bread is stale Even if you cut the grain off, you still shouldn't eat the rest of the bread. Well, that's moldy Well, yeah, but mold get of the mold and just because you're not seeing a color doesn't mean it's not there. I know, but We need that for medicine What if and need to solve my scurvy. before you talk. You mentioned watching on your own. This title of the movie makes me think of in the nineties, you go into a blockbuster and you rent the wrong movie by accident Yes Yes indeed. Like I famously one time rented The ladady's room instead of the ladies's man. Yeah, a little different. And then I was af friend wasade movie by a criminal I was afraid to watch it because I said, what if my parents then see what the tape was? Yeah. I just reported it and said, I think we got the wrong move. And I called the cops. I called the police and said, Blockbuster has got to go to jail. Backrooms written by Will Sudk predominantly known for Ash Vverse Evil Dead, the TV series. coming he's got two projects very, very religious oriented altar and God's country. Maybe those will be are they religious or anti religious? I don't know actually. Or horror religious. Yeah, there you go. Also written by Kaine Parsons, who's the director here as Gu mentioned above Kay Parsons at just twenty years old made this movie, directed this movie and it all stems from a YouTube series that he created in twenty twenty two U He might be better known to some of you younger folks online as Cane Pixels And he's a self taught filmmaker and visual effffects prodigy That's what they're calling him P proddigy. So he's not school smart, he's street smart. So his original YouTube short for this went viral And he's amassed more than one hundred ninety million views on YouTube And part of the appeal of the backrooms is one its simplicity into the analogue horror aesthetic that like sort of makes you that that you think of with classic horror movies. and I think people are also finding intriguing with this is it's very easily relatable in that It's nothing and everything and also the psychological horror here you could see yourself identifying with too. So that I think that's really the main thing that are drawing people to this movie and the main takeaways of it. Is Kane Parsons the Jason Tatum of the movie industry. I We're going to need a second one before we decide that. I'm saying more that we're going to say for years that he's just twenty. He's only nineteen. He's only nineteen G synopsis of backrooms after a therapists patient disappears into a dimension beyond reality reality. She must venture into the unknown to save him. This movie stars She would tell a G of four as Clark. He's the main character Renate Reinzve as Mary. She's the therapist Pl, we know him. We love him as Phil Cffin Bennett as Bobby, Lukito, Maxwell is Cat. Really it's just those first two that that you need to know. the other three maybe have ten, twelve, fifteen minutes combined of screen time And the story behind this movie begins way back in twenty nineteen when there was an anonymous user on Fortune. posted or she posted, they posted an unsettling image of an empty yellow papered room rooms in the photo came with a caption. If you're not careful and you And you know clip out of reality, Hful Cful U If you no clip out of reality in the wrong areas, I la video game, you'll end up in the backrooms where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be tapped in So that original post then became suuper popular. peopleeople built off of that culminating in Kane Parson series in twenty twenty two This movie is intriguing because of a lot of things that I just mentioned and because it's Kind of easy to relate to in some capacity However, I think the biggest thing is you can tell the screenwriting for this was done by amateurs or first timers because The flow of it into the sandwich from the bread to the meat and back is terrible. It's bad. So how about the direction? So the direction is fun and interesting because You can tell Kanaine Parsons knowns what scares people and knows that a lot of what's scary is not necessarily what you see It's the anticipation of it. And so they play with a lot of that And then this common idea of like the emptiness of rooms and getting lost in an endless maze. That's really scary And they play that up a bit here. But what this really what this movie really is and becomes underneath it is a story about someone having, you know a psychological expert, expert episode split. there is a deep seated thing here that I think better script writer really could have pulled out of this movie and done better So that part was disappointing And on that too, they spend the first half hour really trying get you to buy into that and you just don't and you almost it's almost unwashable until it's not And then that middle hour of the movie It's fucking awesome. It's really intriguing And then When they get to the end of it to wrap it up, you're like How don't Why did they do that? Why So they just sort of leave you in a weird spot Several unanswered questions Um and questions that I didn't even care to look up because I was pretty annoyed and didn't didn't love the movie T me go, there's shades in here of the cube Have you ever seen the Cube? It's a nineties movie kind of of this same vein, like lost in an endless twisting maze like three. It's when you put a three next to the number above it. Yeah little map and goo for you. Yeah. There's a little bit of barbarian here too like under best parts of barbarian or the worst parts of barbarian. The best parts barbarian. So that's why I think this movie's had some staying power And then there's a little bit of like being John Malkovich too that you're kind of in someone's head or you're not really sure where you are and you're dealing with a psychological thing Uh there, I'm sure there's other comparisons too, but those are the three that came to mind for me So At times, this movie has you fully intrigued at other times You're mad or nearly turn it off. It ends up being like a twenty seven dog movie for me. I think it's worth watching Just for the discussion. I see why some people are loving it I also see why it only has seventy four percent on Roddy T's. So I think it's a movie worth watching discussing. I'd be interested to hear your opinion on it, but To me, it's not nearly close to obsession or any of the best movies of the year Had you ever gone through like a corn maze or some kind of a maze, a big maze Every fall, not every f. get out. M falls. Did you get out? Always I don't think I'd make it. I'd be living there. This july fourth comes celebrate at America's Block Party, hosted by America two hundred fifty.

Download it for free. Let's move on to the next movie that I checked out last night. Highly anticipated, I would say. Oening in theaters this weekend, right? So I believe it was a limited release last week and I'm not sure if it's a I don't think they're doing a wide release on it Interesting I'm not sure. I could be making that up. Yeah, you might be. The invite twenty twenty six rated R. This is a comedy drama. hour in forty seven minutes. You do feel that a little bit. ninety four on Rotten Tomatoes from the crritic. eighty on metacritic. That's high. but It's only from twenty nine critics so far, so expect a bit of a slip Directed by Olivia Wilde, written by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones. alsoso it's based off of a stage play that's based off of a Spanish Maybe That's written by Sess Gay, I believe And it is starring This is it in the movie. These four people No one else. It's a big bottle episode. We're in an apartment and that's it. Olivia Wilde, Edward Norton, Penelope Cruz, and Seth Rogan Joe and Angela's marriage is on the ice is on thin ice as a matter of fact, when they invite their enigmatic Upstairs neighbors for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places Just in that synopsis I don't It was that unexpected. I thought a lot O the twists and turns were very telegraphed And also the couple being on thin ice kind of saw where that was going as well. Yes there's really only two routes this movie can take. mayaybe a third if you combine the two, right You have other free by the way. Yeah, you have the sexual way where the you know, the neighbors maybe they cross streams there or the violent way when you already have neighbors on the rocks in weird neighbors, right? So I would expect one of those two. So let me tell you this right now It's funny. It's a funny movie. The jokes are really well placed out and it's very Seth Rogan heavy on the comedy But Edward Norton, also funny and the way that Olivia Wilde is very neurotic alsoso adds to the comedy. It's well written, well directed and well acted There's almost more writers than there are actors in the movie. I don't know if that counts for anything But it uses the space of the apartment really, really well. And like I said, it is in just one space. And I could see any of these four Receiving some kind of a nomination when it comes to award season. I don't think any of them are actually gonna win anything, but just a nomination is nice But on the con side of that, Like I said I think anytime that something is introduced in this movie The result of it is kind of predictable. And you saw a lot of it coming Granted the journey to get to where they end up is fun The conversation is fascinating. I think it's extremely well written and It might bring you asking questions about your own life that are important. I think that it's one of those types of movies. Okay. My biggest issue And I like Seth Rogan. I'll say it again. I like Seth Rogan I wish they almost had any other leading actor in this movie because I could not separate his character. seeing him Hearing him The jokes Fr Seth Rogan And as I am trying to get lost in this story, which points I was Seth Rogan brought me out of it I saw that note when I opened the document here And I was like, oh, maybe that's a little too harsh. Is it harsh? And then I thought to myself, Goo I had started the studio likeike three months ago And I enjoyed what I had watched. And then once I stepped away from it I was like I don't think I want to go back. because As good as some of the aspects of that show are. everyvery single episode, Seth Rogan His character is made to be annoying, but also Seth Rogan like took me out of it because And look, I really like Seth Rogan. I love what he's done for comedy. I love the stuff that he produces It's just that when you see something with Seth Rogan in it, it's so hard to separate actor from like the role that he's portraying the minute he latched. Well, like there's a scene in this when he's like, I'm gonna go smoke a joint. And you're like, all right, I bet that wasn't even in the script. Like, all right, Okaykay, dude It also takes one extra little poke at the end. which is a little spoiler that I kind of wish they didn't do. Okay This is a very good movie. I have it in my top three or four on the year. All right. It's also a week year. So keep that in mind It's getting stronger and we're about to get a whole lot stronger the next couple weeks. Yeah. But I enjoyed this. I'm around like thirty three, thirty four hot dogs. I think it's o. I was expecting I think it's thirty five, thirty six. Seth Rogan it really It takes me out of it. Okay. I was doing my best and I Once again, I enjoyed the movie. I thought it was very, very funny I thought the situations. I thought the It's a lot of real life situational stuff I want to get lost in this movie and I couldn't. Okay. That's f. I want to get taken to a dream world of magic. That's a fair criticism. That right there goose should be your Y little episode Ts for the week, if you put out a tes for the invite. You think I'm gonna put out anything Oh, did I say the score yet? Did I say my score? You did. You said thirty thirty three, thirty four That's good, though. It's very good. All right I recommend it. Oh, someone did want to know if the movie sniffs its own farts a little bit. That's going to happen though That makes sense. I mean that's what this podcast is. We legit fart into the microphone and then next up on the docket here Masters of the universe. This came out first weekend of june, june fifth. This is an Amazon MGM production has made one hundred nine point six million. That's not good at the worldwide box office. That's even worse. sixty three million domestic The budget for this movie was around one hundred seventy to two hundred million. There's no definitive number yet. The marketing was crazy. so I'm guessing This has about four hundred million dollars it needs to make to make were this all over the place. And then consider that you only get half that. So it's This is going to lose a lot of money for Amazon MGM Goo it's a PGA thirteen didn't put the genres there. whoops just makeaking up. Sci fi adventure. Yeah, sure. They try some comy Sxy. Why not? eighties nostalgia is the genre here Runtime of one hundred and forty minutes Boy do you feel it? Boy do you feel it? It's long If you cut this by fifteen minutes, you'd probably have a much better movie. Did it get a pop when he said I have the power. So there's a couple cool scenes in this movie that even you and I not growing up in Master Universem like, all right, I can fuck with that. I'm not a hum man guy. sureure. Just a little past I caught the tail end of the eighties. I'm more of a Thundercats guy. Yeah, that's Thundercats I'm a GI Je boy. Go on Ry T sixty eight percent from the critics, eighty six percent from the audience. So in general did pretty well. like I don't think you could have expected better scores than that for this movie. a fifty two on metacritic This is written by Chris Butler, Adam and Aron Nee, the Nee brothers. The Nee boys and Dave Callahgham Chris Butler, you know him from Power of Norman, Kubo and the two strings who he worked with on director of this movie Travis Knight and missing link upcoming, he's writing for Wildwood that comes out later this year. The Nee Brothers Goo you'd really only know from the lost city came out a couple years ago. So the Nee brothers, I the first names are Leon, right They also have an indie movie that did pretty well called The Band of Robbers ing they're doing the untitled Henry Cowell, Kevin Hart Netflix spy comedy That's not going to be good. And then we have Dave Callahgham here G who has such an interesting interestnteresting run over the last twenty years He was the writer on Doom, the expendables Godzilla from twenty fourteen Zombieand double tap Wonder Woman nineteen eighty four Mortal comombat Shang i in the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider Man across the Spiderverse. upcoming, he's doing Godzilla X Kong supernova, Spider Man beyond the Spiderverse and something called Street Justice. I'm not going to do any research. I'm assuming that this Callahgham fella Much like this movie is a writer on all of those movies, those movies all seem like they have three to four writers on them For the most part. That is the case in some of them, but you'd be surprised, which is why he has such an interesting journey. this movie is directed by the aforementioned Travis Knight, who's directed two movies so far. That's it. Kubo and the two strings wildly successful. Bubblebe which also did really well. Bubblebee's great. And upcoming, he's doing that Wildwood movie this year. He's also working on the six billion dollar man in something called Pyronesi. Pyronesi. Synopsis of Masters of the universe, a young man on Earth discovers a fabulous secret legacy as the Prince of an alien planet and must recover a magic sword and return home to protect his kingdom This movie stars Nicolas Galazin, Galazin. Canatini. He's Rsian though. He's not Italian as Adam slash Hean, Camilla Mendees as Tela, Idris Idris Elba as Duncan, Jared Leto as Skeletor, Johannes Hakor Johanneson as Fisto, what a great name. John ZhuZhang as Ram manan, Allison Bree as Evil Lyn Sam C. Wilson as Trap Jaw, Charlotte Reiley is Queen Marlena, James Purifoy as King Rraandor, Marinna Bacarin as the sorceress and Kristen Wig as the voice of Roboto your hands raised. Big question. we all want to know, how is Jared Leto? I had no qualms with Motion capapture Jared Leto here. He was the least of the hies. San tell you right now, that wasn't motion capapture. Whatever That was of him He took his skin off whatever you want to call it. It was decent. It was good to. Do you think so From the reviews that I have read is that they tried to split the baby with the bathwater Yeah of appealing to a younger audience and to the nostalgia of you know, fathers that would be taking or the grandfathers now that would be taking the kids to the movie. Yeah. Yeah Do you think They should have just leaned into complete eighties cheese. So that that's where I don't know, because they middled it, I'm not sure which side of it I liked more So it's not campy enough to really Pay up to the true He Man fans, Masters of the Universe fans And it's not good enough on the other side Like I think what they were shooting war for somewhat was U the Chris Pine Dungeonson and Dragons movie. Yeah I think they wanted some of that. Wasn't it the same production company? Maybe, I'm not sure And also the issue in this movie Goo is much like we saw with Supergirl There's like nothing original in here. Okay. You've seen Every bit of story not. It's from a show called Hema Um And you also were like It felt like some of the characters and actors were in one movie and some were in the other because of that split Um there were a couple of fun scenes. There are a couple of fun ideas in here timimes it looks great and other times it looks fucking horrible. So they got they kind of middle that to It does feel more like a straight to prime movie than it does a big theater movie. So that hurts it But it's not bad. likeike it's it's enjoyable enough. I didn't regret watching it I would say it's like barely floating You know, for for fans of the franchise, I could see them going either way on it, hating it because they middled it or loving it because they got some notes right I wouldn't recommend spending money on this, but when it's free to stream on Pime goo for it. It's it's There's some enjoyability here. All right, are you ready for this? So the people that create movies are you taking notes I recommend that you try and create another Masters of the Universe movie. This one, though Production budget seven hundred and eighty dollars All practical effects Make it like the movie from the late eighties, early ninetyies with Dolph Longren And I think that you will capture the older audience that wants that cheese. Yeah, he has a cameo in here Goo. Oh what does he do? He's it's just he talks to the main guy for like a minute. Is he a scientist who can smell crying? They're lifting weights in the gym pumping iron. Oh hell yes. Hell yes. Maybe I was too harsh on this. I gave it twenty two hot dogs. It's not for me And I guess my review is a little kind of it in that it's in that range like twenty two to twenty four kind of sinking that maybe may be afloat But yeah, Again, don't spend your hard earned, you know Shecks on this thing. Let me tell you where to spend your money if you got kids because this'll keep them quiet for ninety minutes in an ice cold movie theater.

Download it for free Minions and monsters, twenty twenty six PG, likeike I said, ninety minutes an eighty nine percent critical rating right now on rotten toomatoes. That is going to change. It was at ninety three yesterday. a sixty eight on metacritic. and I saw this on social media This makes complete sense to me The reason why it is so high, the reason why The seventh movie in the minion franchise slash spinoff series because these are separated a little bit from the Gw movies. is that critics love Old Hollywood. Yeah, I didn't know the premise of this movie until like a week ago. This takes place where two minions, not the ones that we follow in the other minions movies They make movies during the silent movie era And then when we start getting talkies, people say, what the hell are these little guys? We don't understand them. So then they go and they get an old spellbook and they bring a monster to make a monster movie who ends up being a real bad guy. the monster, the titular monster. The titular monster, although it's not really the titular monster. There's several monsters in movies One of them is voiced by Bobby Moyagan. The other one and I'll tell you this right now. I loved him in this role because it just sounds like South Park Tray Parker as Gumy was awesome. Okay. All right. I'm also a sucker for Bobby Moynahan. I'm not gonna to lie. Yeah, Bobby Moynahan, it's also great listening to him with interviews because whenever they ask him about he's I've done so much voiceo work And he always thinks that his part is going to be cut from the movie. He's like, yeah, I don't know if this one was that great. And then they're like, no, you you're the star of the movie, man. We're not cutting you from the movie. I've probably said this one hundred twenty five times Horatio sans walked so Bobby Mournihan could run Horatio Sands spepeaking of bad guys. I was going to say, I don't I don't know what's going on. I know there was a story. I don't know the advancement of that story.. Bobby Moynihan, He was a very interesting person on SNL. He was able to do a lot of things, but he never filled the role that everyone thought he was gonna to do, which was, you know funny fact guy He was never that. He's at his best in the David S. Pumpkin sketch. He's very good in that sketch. And like I said, he's a really good voice actor who pops up Every time that he does a sitcom, like he was in Uh, the Ted Danson's the Mor show, right? Sure. He's now in the other show where Tracy Morgan is something He's the Tracie Morgan's the mayor. He pops up whenever someone's the of actors, actresses, comedians of the nineties and two thousands sQ I saw Ariry Spears at the Chevalier Theater, Chevalier Theatater, whoever it's called Recently Yeah, a week ago. shit from Josie and the pussy cats. from M TV It was good. He was really good. I enjoy the shit out of it. That's the recommendation from the show. Go and check him out.. If Bobby Lee is in your town, goo find them. If Frank Kelliend' in your town, you go find them. If Will Sassle' playing, you see him. You find Michael McDonald You look for u y sw Masil. I was gonna say Miss Masil. I was looking for a family guy. You look for King of Queens.. If Mo Collins If Mo Collins is around Who else is on Mat TV? We're falling apart here. We only have eight people, which I'll say go pretty good.. That's pretty good. There was They unfortunately went up against a really strong era of SNL, but Mad TV was fucking great in. So you were about to say that it outshined SNL during its time. I wasn't going to say that. D, you were about to. I saw it falling off the tip of your tongue But that was right at the start of the Will Ferrell time.. The perfect time to have Will Ferrell to combat The u I would say the more immature slash u A littleittle more teeth, I would say that SNL. Well, MatTV leaned into the nineties aesthetic quicker than SNL did and it was a little more edgy than SNL for a little bit. But also a little more mean They weren't afraid to get mean One might think offensive at certain things too. Sure,. Talk to the microphone Oh Stewart is such a we might look what I can do. I don't know how well this episode would do Do you want to draft mad TV characters or sketches? Or performers. We can do performers. We'll circle back to that in the fall Hopefully the CW will pick it up again Mions and monsters. Minions and monsters. None of the actors that we just mentioned from Mad TV are in the movie though This has a murderer's row of actors in it though. and we talked about in the past How Mario, the two movies What a complete waste of talent This might be a bigger waste of talent when you look at You have Alison Janny, Christoph Walz, Jeff Bridges, Jesse Isisenberg Why are they in this movie? Are they playing minions or other characters? No, the only minion is Pierre Coffin, who's also the director and writer. Okay Really has a monopoly on the minions, I'd say. Yeahare you share those little yellow bastards Tsing around. Minian culture is weird, Goo. I'll tell you that. I'm not gonna to say I'm a gentle mininion I'm close I appreciate the fuck out of the minions. Are you making your wife paint her face and wear overalls? I'm not allowed to do that Maybe when I get that pair of goggles for u rill I'll find out your reason to get them. I'll get the minion one. And then you have to like shave your hair but leave a couple hairs to comb over or spike. Some Homer Simpson action go. Little Homer Simpson action on the minions Do they steal that from the Simpsons? They're yellow Mac, this follows the minions in the nineteen twenties, Hollywood as they search for frightening creatures for their monster movie. They partner with a little green bastard and then they try to save the planet after that monster unleashes more monsters on the world The resolution of this movie doesn't make any sense, and while watching it I looked at my son, the character that Jesse Eisenberg plays. as a robot, I think. But you think he's a human the whole time? All right. Maybe he is an actual robot. I don't know I looked at my son and I said This iss weird, hu He's like, yeah It was a weird time had by y'. but I really loved Trey Parker as Gomy in this The voice was somewhere between Cartman Butters ile st It was it was a nice little thing. pllus you had a little thing in the front like Zoidberurg So Then A really goodood cameo from George Lucas. Oh all right. I had a la time with that. Okay. Then we move on to I love Looney Tunes style shit. and I love them bringing it back to have that style of comedy with these characters and they had a citizens' cane joke in this that don't think the kids would understand I cackled at it. All right. The minions, they were performing citizens cane, Citizen cane, not citizens' canane There's no cane in the movie man And as opposed to saying roosebud because the minions can't really speak It says Like as it drops the globe, it goes. That's gonna get me every time.les Sorry to spoil the movie, guys I didn't mean to spoil the movie
