Cold planet? Hot asses. We saw the journey, colon, absolution. So you know what that means. I'm a nigga boy baby, it's yellow like a wazlow vest walk women just in the alley I may see a hard-ass show with a big phone and take a pose with me to hit the hoops control J.M. Big Paul and the boys to June when I take you from the old one with the two world bring it in the street by the hopes of a wall sting

They're just a bunch of movies, want me making the grave Here's a real question for the outtaquiz kid, man Hello, people of Earth! And hello, people of LARGAR! Woo! We are alive. We are alive in Los Angeles to talk about the 1997 sci-fi classic, absolution. It is a movie where you could easily be confused because

I thought it was the ab solution with Mario Lopez, which I found out is an actual real thing. He does have a workout video called the absolution. He also has one called the AB final solution. That's really don't watch that. It was a weird period and Mario Lopez is life. I was thinking before the show started, how do I describe this movie? It's tough. Mario Lopez is in a world that has been destroyed by an asteroid

and then 30 years later, but we don't know when that 30 years started. We'll get into that in the main part of the episode. But 30 years later, it seems like most of New America is in the Antarctic, and he's a soldier who's transferring to another base. And I don't know much more than that. I mean, I know weird things are a foot, Richard Grico. Really, that's all I need to say about that. And Jamie Presley has no problem getting into

his secure military facility multiple times. Like, it seems like this place is like the outpost from the thing. It is very far away. We're, again, we'll break it all down, but I can't break anything down without my co-host. Please welcome to the stage, Mr. Jason Manzookas. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! What's up, jerks? Oh! Oh! Oh! How we doing, Lago? Oh!

Yeah, that's right. I don't. I watched this movie this afternoon, pop. Yeah. Don't remember it at all. It is a zero to me. This movie is really odd because. Is it?

I'd love for you to tell me about it. I just watched that trailer and I was like, ah! Well, when you put all the scenes together quickly, it does like, oh, right, not much happens, but when you put it all together, it seems like a different movie. It feels like a Nickelodeon version of Starship Troopers.

I With tits. Which sounds right up my alley. And yet, I was like, why is any of this a movie? Well, to your point, that's really the thing. I have no real answers for, and I hope our audience might, it is a movie. It is rated R. Like, it has all the trappings of a sci-fi,

not like a science fiction film, a sci-fi channel film. Yeah, because it takes place in two rooms, basically. Yeah, I mean, with one room that has a little bit more, there's one dirt room, which is kind of fun, little motif. But yeah, it's dirty. If not dirty, it's R, there's a lot of fucks by one character in particular, which I don't think any of

them were scripted. But anyway, we'll break all that down. I can't wait to get into it. I love myself some Greco. Greco. Greco. Oh, Greco in this thank god for Greco is what I wrote in my notes. If not for Greco, we would be f**ked.

I came into this world not liking Greco when he took over for a Johnny Depp as Booker, Fuck Booker, Hanson was better on 21 Jump Street, then Booker got his own fucking show at Sucked. Anyway, sorry if you're not over 40. Who would have thought that Greco at this point in time would be more viable? Got to get them back together, got to get them back together. For the love of Pete! For the love of Pete.

And for the love of Pete. Let's bring on our next co-host. She might have an opinion about Richard Grico. She may not. Ladies and gentlemen, Miss June Diane Rayfield. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. I'm not well after this viewing. I spoke to our guest backstage.

This movie put us in a bad mood. LAUGHTER I wanted to ask you, where do you fall in, Richard Grico? Was that someone that was on your radar? Are you a Ringo Freka? No, I'm not. And in fact, I said to our surprise guest backstage, I said, I... AC from 21 Jump Street. Yeah. And she said, I said to our surprise guest backstage, I said, I, is he from 21 Jump Street?

Yeah. And she said, yes. Uh-oh, I already revealed her gender. But I said, you know, I, 21 Jump Street for me, I have this memory flipping around the channels, and always being bummed if the only thing that was on was 21 Jump Street. I know.

How dare you? You were bummed that the most important show in television history was on. For me, it was a pop show for kids. What better thing could you get? Yes, it was great. The only thing better was WizKid. It was the same.

I felt the same way I did. Real show. Real show, real good. I felt the same way I did. Real show! Real show, real good. I felt the same way when I was watching Saturday morning cartoons and the only thing that was on was steam pipe Alley. Oh, well that was a rough idea. I don't even know what that is. That's a New York specific thing. Mario Cantone hosted a show on Channel 11.

Channel 11. And he would be like,, kids, what's up? And it was just him in an alley with a bunch of kids, but I got a set alley. And he would throw the car to the street. It says to me, he had a street, yeah, he had alley. Steamed pipe at an alley?

Yeah, that was it. And there were a lot of pipes. I was looking for facts of life. I was looking for other things. I hate it. Steamed pipe alley. Oh, I hated it. I wasn't looking for facts of life. I was looking for other things. I hate extreme pipe all you know. I did too. I wasn't looking for 21 John Street. So no, I mean, I've seen other work of his, of course. Have you? Maybe not, actually.

Greek only. I know. I know you're so familiar. I'm not sure if you're not familiar. I'm not sure if you're not familiar. Oh, I will be able to. I will be able to. But listen, we'll bring out our guests, but I just have to say, we will. I just have to say, I do think this is Mario Lopez's best work.

I do. Well, guess what? We got this step. That's it. Introducing you. Well, and again, when you said why I have an answer, ladies and gentlemen, our next guest is a guest who has not appeared live with us for a very long time

over Zoom's yes, but not next to us on stage. She co-hosts Deep Dive with Juned Ion Radio. Please welcome Jessica St. Claire. Cheers. Hello, hello. Welcome, Jessica. Thank you. As I said to you, this film was picked for you because you hate a trash can fire. And the movie, you wrote us an email that said, never have me back on the podcast unless

Mario Lopez is shirtless. I brought this on myself. I would rather literally catch my own hair on fire in a trash can fire than watch this horrible film that made me so angry. I was so mean to my family afterward. I was like, get the fuck to bed, get the fuck out of my way. And that was to Dan? That was to your husband? I know. It ruined my dad.

It ruined. I watched you with an angry face watching this movie in our living room on an iPad with earbuds in, because when I was watching it in front of the children, there was a lot of f-boms going on. So much so that my littleist came up to me and was like, dad, and he was like, shut the fuck up from the team. I was like, oh, sorry, what, sorry.

I tried to turn it up real quick. And he was like, ooh. Like I was just watching a propanity machine. And he was like, are you watching the journey, Cole, and Absolution? I really think like this movie, I knew we were in store for something good when the first three shots are asteroid,

earth explodes, tidal credit, mario Lopez. Okay, I'm so sorry, but in between each of those, just lava. Like, as if they took it from YouTube, which did not exist, but like, it's just the B-roll of lava for the whole credit sequence of, as if the movie is gonna be about lava people. Be-roll. It's just a be-roll of lava for the whole credit sequence of,

as if the movie is gonna be about lava people. I was like, I guess we're in a volcano plan. What a lava. Guess what? No way. The Arctic. Well, and, and, and, and they do something that is so upsetting to me. I talked about this in the, in a previous podcast where I like to just solely ease into how to just get made movie.

You do? Well, because... Do the movies ever let that happen? Not really, no. I find these movies to be assaulting. Space-lapped, you and I like it. I start with a kick in the crotch and they end up spitting on my face. And I'm like, how much did I do this for? But I will say that it's really rough to drop VO exposition in a credit sequence that's

separated by black. So it's like, it's been 800 hours. Black music, music, music, credits, credits, credits. I'm almost there. It's like, wait, you can't separate this. I will tell you all, and I'm not afraid to say this. I rewound because as the movie, as we got into it, I thought, oh, I've missed something. Me too. Me too.

I've missed something so important that's gonna unlock the keys to the Kingdom. And the narrative becomes so clear. Oh, I was, did the same. Yeah, I went back. I must have watched that credit sequence. Yep. Seven to eight times. I figured, oh, I was like, I got weary.

Maybe I looked away and missed a crawl or a tie. I thought, yes. Maybe there were people crawling up. And then it just says, nothing. 30 years later. So from what I understand, from now, 30 years later. So from what I understand. From now, 30 years from now. 30 years from asteroid impact.

Right, so I would imagine this movie comes out in 1997, but there's also an alternative history, which we should get into at one point, but. That's crazy. Yeah. So in 1997, this happened. And from what we understand is that the earth becomes lava. And nothing really has changed.

Like Turtle wax is still around because at one point, Marielopas says, hey, what do you, shine those shoes of Turtle wax? And I was like, wow, Turtle wax made it through the apocalypse. Like, there's also like, just to get back to the, how confusing it was, and Paul, you mentioned the absolutely pointless and needless Mario Lopez voiceover. And the real insanity is the movie is confounding and without plot to a degree that they put it together

and said, we gotta put some VO in here to make sense of this. It's happening, it's happening. It's happening. It's happening. That's what I was wondering. Was it after the fact? Oh, it's absolutely. Because they were like, we got to, because this makes no sense. And the VO makes it double-confusing.

Well, the VO, because I believe, like Philip Marlow? Well, this is the thing, because he does VO throughout the movie a couple times where they sit on his face, well, that happens later. But I will say that I don't think that if somebody is gonna sit on your face, VO might be the best thing to do.

And my fault that gives you a shake. Here's what I'll say, the way that he read the lines is wrong, I believe, because he says, and I just listened to it right before I came out here. He says, 800 hours, almost there. Like, it's 800 hours since I've been traveling, but I think what he wanted to say was, it's 800 hours. Like, 8 a.m.

8 a.m. But he's like, at the 800 hours. 0800 is what he meant. He's meaning to say 8 a.m. Right, because later on, he goes, what time is it, and some guy goes 922, and he goes, yeah, I thought that. LAUGHTER

I thought that, but when I think, I think, in military time, I thought that. I thought that, but when I think, I think in military time. I thought that. He never think, I see, I thought it was not going to. See, that's not true. This is so important, Paul, because I thought it was an intentional 800 hours, and I thought, wow, where do you go that takes 800 hours? Right. Life takes 800 hours? Right. Life takes 800 hours then.

How long is that flight? And then I thought. 52 hours in a day. Yeah, and then I was like, oh, that's like, yeah, how long did you travel the whole world? A couple times. 16 days. Siri, how many days is 800 hours?

33 days. yeah, 33. Okay, but so how long does it take to travel around the earth? Siri, I'm not going to do math, I'm really fucking scared. I'm really flying around here. I cannot have met, this is already 47 hour research. 47 hours.

This is already more research than the screenwriters for this movie. No, but this is important. This is important because Jessica, this is important to me. Let me say this, Jessica, is what is important is that I really thought, because that 800 hours was with me throughout the movie, and I was like, oh, they're in a different planet. Like they are not. I would have believed that. was with me throughout the movie. And I was like, oh, they're in a different planet. Like, they are not-

I would have believed that. They're not. I thought they were in a car. I just did some more research. 17 times around the world, he could have gone in 800 hours. But to be clear, he is saying- We're in the planet. It's 8 AM.

Yes. Well, now that change is every time. None of this factor is in. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. To the movie. This is when I knew we were in trouble. Yeah.

How did this go? How did this go? I feel really misled, Jess, because when I said, what movie are we doing with Jessica, Paul said, Mario Lopez and Jamie Pressley movie. And I was like, oh, great. That's what I thought. I go, let me watch that romantic comedy.

Thank you. You have to have sex for bringing that fucking awful sex scene we saw on a single bed that went on for four and a half hours. Are you kidding me? That's for it. That's for it. That was the most realistic sex sexy I've ever seen. All sex happens with no lower body movement and maximum back arching. The in the scene, Jamie Pressley appears as though she's trying to back bend away from him. Yes, I'm waiting for this movie.

She is. She took her kids out for this. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong.

She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong.

She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. She is wearing a thong. it's like a party game. Like you put it on and everyone has to hit a button,

it's gonna end now. Oh, longer? Like it's like everyone's like, no, it's never gonna end now. There's gotta be some rule about like lower body movement because I felt like there was somebody off camera being like, no, no, you can't move, can't move your butts. Can't move your butts or your legs.

Only arms, neck, heads, and I'm already and- But it's an all-rated movie. It's R. It definitely is a bit like, the body parts are out multiple times. And you know, I- I'd like to see his balls. His balls, Pena. That's Pena's. That's what I'd like to see his hairless penis.

That's what I'd like to see. You're on record. That's gonna be in like entertainment weekly's quote of the week. I want to see his hairless. Over a heraldist, Largo, loud woman screaming that she wants to see Mario Lopez's bare penis embalmed, revealed to be Jessica's bare hairless. Heraldist, I'm sorry. Heraldist, penis. Then that's a. Barely. I said balls, Peenet.

Then that's a Dumois. Someone said that's a Dumois. Uh. So here's one thing, Paul, about the sex scene and the lower body. So I, so earlier on, they've established that they don't take their boots off as cadets. They never take this mess off. I don't think you have off as cadets. They never take this matter.

I don't think you have this boots on while he's having sex with her. He doesn't play by the rules. Okay, that's a hot shot. He's a hot shot. I will say, I don't know if you felt this Jessica, but I found, the men have their shirts off the entire movie, which is fine.

They're in their underwear. But I'm not in your underwear. I mean, really guys were all screaming. What I really, I really resented was the length of those undies. Yes. It's a so underwear situation. So much so that I are those military issue. They're terrible.

Is that what's going to, they look like pant, they look like black blueprints. Like pantyloons. They look like jodper. They look like like like pant they look like like blue bird uniform Like I Look like like Old-fashioned baseball players use that to wear I didn't want to bring this up this early But I feel like it's are you wearing them? I Got them it's like you put on when you're make a covenant with God that you're not gonna act. Oh.

Oh. Another, okay, so another, another bit of connection for you in this film, Jessica, is that this movie is directed by the same guy who directed a talking cat. Oh. This speaks total sense. And, but more importantly, he is known for a series of features called the 1313. He released one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12.

Like, I think he released over 14 films, or maybe they're 13, films that all heavily feature men in boxer briefs. That's like his calling card is these films. You know what's unfortunate though, Paul? So all of the men have wonderful figures. But they all look so terrible because of the men have wonderful figures, but they all look so terrible because of the cut of those undies. And it was just so distressing. And at one point during the sex scene,

Mario Lopez, his lower bodies, of course, not moving. But you can't penalize. He's trying to pin her in wrestling's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize.

He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize.

He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's trying to penalize. He's where it gets real, because there's butts and stuff. And this is where it felt Starship troopers to me.

Yeah, I guess we don't have a good shot of the underwear. I'm sorry. Maybe there's another part of it. Okay, that brings me. I'm glad I showed that. I'm proud. Here's that man that we just saw on screen. Is he an alien?

Well, here's the question. Oh, my god. Are you sure? No, we don't. Well, here's the question. Oh my god. Here's the question. Oh my god. Are you sure? No, he's got to feel the harbor. So what happens? So what happens, I believe. I believe. OK.

Go on. Now this, I really, this is what I really am going to go out on a little bit. OK. And this movie is completely plotless, I believe. But what I think is happening is Grico is the only actual alien. He gives what is the team Z or the team Z team.

He gives them steroids that are his blood. So he's giving them and fluids or whatever. Oh. Oh. So that's why they get healed because he can heal from gun shots and so forth. That's why they heal. That's why they start to feel really zombified or whatever. I think it's because they've been given his blood. Okay, that's probably right.

His chest is fluid. Fluid. Jason, please use the proper term, fluid. I'm so sorry. And he is. He is. That's sexy. Like when Mario Lopez is up in the skyline,

and Griko is just coming on all the guys. Ha, ha, ha. But I am Z. Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! And they're all like, this is what But I am Z! And they're all like, this is what I signed up for! Who knows how much of humanity is left? Is this worth it? But alright, so are we to believe that when the asteroid hit the Earth 30 years ago, Richard Grigot was on that asteroid?

Oh. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Because he seems to have a good knowledge of human history. The movie seems to theorize that that was meant to weaken the planet so that they could take over. Take over more easily at this point. That was what they said was like the soft assault

or some things like that. That's what Mario was giving that girl. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's back, baby. Check it out. She's got to go.

Take care, Jess. Here's my question, though. Why? Why did Greek go need them to like reach some sort of physical peak and do all of this work? They were all gonna get around. Because here's the, but just, but I don't know if it's a survive because it seems like they just had to get into that machine

that tilt a world thing where if they couldn't survive that one thing, there was no way they could exist. The next machine, that was some sort of, like, can the handle it machine? The next machine, the Greek goes in at the end, is some sort of like teleport or something. But now meanwhile, the resolution day, was that it, resolution day?

Was it resolution day? Reclamation. Reclamation day. But the machine, but the machine that sucks up Greco at the end, there's a sequel here, right? Because he went up. Did he? That's what I said to Jason backstage.

I said, what is the last moment in your... I don't know what it means. I just know what I saw. Yeah. And that's at the end of an entire movie. That's a failure. Yeah. If I watched the final image.

Images. So there's a thing that says malfunction, malfunction, malfunction. We go once Jamie Pressley to go with him so that he can dot, dot, dot. I'm not sure she doesn't. And because it malfunctions, it explodes. Now we do see Rico get, tell up, Rico get teleported away. Right.

Successfully or not, I'm not, I don't know what we're meant to do. But Jamie Presley was going to be in that machine with him. Yeah, and she hadn't been given his giz at all. So she was just, Not yet! She was gonna get right away. There is a moment that I've never seen a more tired actress in my life.

Yes! Like, she had the gun through her head. Yes, his gun through her head. And now, She was exhausted. She looks like, Mike, do you want to know my theory? Yes. My theory is they had Griko for one day.

Okay. They shot his whole thing in one day, and that was the last set up, and Jamie Bristley was like, I am Dunzo. I've been here for 19 hours. Because her face wasn't like, I'm tired because I'm scared or I'm exhausted from the physicality of this moment

and this man has kept me captive. It was just like, I'm tired of doing this. Yeah. She looks, checked out, and I think the thing that I'm putting together is, and once you see it, you can't unsee it with this movie. Richard Greco is reading off of Q-Cards. That's what I thought.

And he goes back at times. Well, he's like, let me tell you something. When, oh, I see you. He does this, actually. He does this. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. He double-talked twice.

And that's why there's so many fucks. I was like, what the fuck? There's so many fucks. He was like, I'll give you one take. Even if I flop it, you use it. Yeah, and KB Pressy's like, I took my tits up for this shit. Fuck you, Griko.

No, me well. Also, I believe. You don't even know your lines? I have another big theory on this movie that he was a last-minute addition and they shot a majority before they locked him in because in my opinion, if you took away Richard Grico, it could be that guy from Avatar, right?

That Steven Lang? Steven Lang, okay. Like, you know, or the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket because at one point, Merrill Lopez is in the bunk, and he starts doing an impression of the guy's like, I'll say you never done do things. And I'm like, well, that's not his voice at all.

And to both of that point, Mario Lopez, when he arrives, is told by the guy that escorts him to his bunk that Griko's character, we haven't met Griko yet, but Griko's character doesn't like Yankees or people from Queens. And he's a good old Southern boy is what they're like intimating,

but then Griko is just full blown, Griko. And Griko turns not liking Queens into something incredibly offensive. Different. I mean, here's a little bit of, this is a little bit of like what you get in a Richard Grito performance. Can I just say, yeah.

This is the sum total number of people who are in this movie. Yeah. And this is one of the two rooms. Yes. These people occupy for the whole movie. This movie looks like it could have been shot on this stage. Yes.

I feel like I said that I've watched Chipotle training videos that had more cinematography. Why? Why? Why have you watched Chipotle training videos? Don't worry about it. Real quest to writer strike baby. I gotta be prepared. I gotta be prepared.

Oh my god. Scoop that strike baby. I gotta be prepared. I gotta be prepared. Oh my God. Scoop that avocado, baby. I'm here. Here's a little Richard Greek up. Is this man a new bear's pig? Sir, yes, sir. What is his name?

Sir, I don't know, sir. We haven't met yet, sir. For the love of Pete, does anybody know this red stain? Sir, his name't know, sir! We haven't met yet, sir! For the love of Pete, does anybody know this rat's name? Sir, his name is Mercury, sir! Can you help her? Yes, sir! If asked you that Murphy, then stand in his attention. You have been negligent,

George Filler Squad member. As a gesture for apology and your team your loss honor, you will pay him a tribute of 61 pushups. Ten, ten for each letter of his name and one to grow on. And he's going to perform this task and that helps you. Reading Q-Card, reading Q-Card. Yes sir. That's just a little taste of the Greek.

He has a writing crop, but yes, this is not written. No one was like, we really need a Richard Greco type. It's out of character for him. At the same way that you would never give Richard, a Richard Greco character the repeated catchphrase for the love of Pete. That just doesn't sound like him, and he never sounds right saying.

But let's also then walk one step further and go, at one point, Richard Grico brings Meriolupus into a room and they have this scene about the Bay of Pigs invasion. Oh, yeah. This is fascinating. As we speak about this, I believe I do. As we speak about it, I start to believe

that Richard Grico improvised everything. That's interesting. So here, just take a listen and we can unpack this here. Here we go. The Bay of Pigs. The Bay of Pigs. Yes. The Bay of Pigs, 1963.

General Oswald and his men slaughtered 2,000 reeds on the shores of Dallas, Texas General Roosevelt on the shores of Texas. Yeah a military genius wife Maryland by a side a glorious glorious slaughter Yes, sir. Marilyn. Marilyn Monroe. They have. Okay, so I guess I can't be improvised because there is a picture of Oswald on the wall. I think I can explain this.

I think this is the first piece of evidence that he's an alien. Okay. You guys know you have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true.

You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true.

You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. You have to be true. in the program and like when people came into his office like, why have this picture of Nixon on your wall? Like the asteroid hit in 1997.

Like, I don't know, but that's what I mean. That's my best guess. I don't think the movie takes place in an alternate history. I agree where. See, this is what I thought happened. I thought it wasn't our first clue that he was an alien. What I thought was whatever's happened to planet, or maybe we're on another planet, because again, I thought it took 800 hours to get there.

We have lost history. That's what I thought. Okay. Because of the virus that hit, because the pandemic has hit. By the way, the only one time they referenced it. We have the virus. It seems like an asteroid hit more than the pandemic. It seems like.

No one probably followed the other. So many things happened. And in that time, history got rewritten, which I was actually like, oh, that's the only interesting idea in this movie. Yeah. That perhaps like, I would go along. That is a catastrophic event.

Absolutely. Yeah, actually created a generation that has rewritten history. Now the one question I have though is Mario Lopez has been sent from, I believe, something called the agency. Is that really well? No, I believe. Well, he's referred to as an agent, but I don't know what organization is for. He's not a new recruit like he's pretending.

No, he requested transfer because his best friend who when they meet seem like they've never met each other in their entire life, they speak to each other in such a way. Hey man, what's going on? It was like that poor actor, the model that he has to deliver about what reclamation day is or recreation day We're rejuvenation day. We just confused as we are it is I was like this is if you put these words in front of me I had to deliver them this man He was embarrassed. He was embarrassed and some sort of another sounds crazy, but

Stars have to align with another soul I do and he's like I I think it happens every 30 years. Now here's the interesting thing. In my impression of this, Mario Lopez is a military man who's- I'd like to perform that monologue. That's a monologue and it's long too.

It's very long. As well, we're talking about- It barely shed light on the events of the movie. Yes. I mean, if we're gonna talking about big monologues, we got to go backwards for a second and talk about the Jamie Presley monologue, which then is the precursor to the sex scene, because it's like, she's like, yeah, my parents were killed.

I became a sex worker. That's a movie I wanted to see. And he's like, great, let's, what, do we have sex there? That cold miners daughter, I want to see that. Never saw that movie, is that what it's about? Wait, wait, hang on. How is it like, cold miner's daughter, Jessica, go ahead. I'd love to see, I'd love to hear what you think,

cold miner's daughter is about and how it relates to this movie specifically, please go ahead. Can you give a spotlight to St. Clair? There's a, what's that song? Fancy don't let them down. You know about raising that's not coal miners daughter. I always felt like that was sort of similar plot.

I'm here to tell you that coal miners daughter is about Loretta Lynn, who was raised in Rolken Tucky, married at the age of 13, begins writing and singing her own country songs in the early and early 20s, and with the tireless help of her husband, Oliver Muni, Tom Cruise Jones, Loretta rises from local honky-tongues to small town

of the record-grab. That's right, that's right. It's a little bit different. What point does she survive a dystopian future in which her parents are killed because one has the plague, one doesn't, and then she becomes a sex worker at the outpost. Does Loretta Lynn sing fancy?

God damn it. But, but, but. This is, hold on. I like to watch who I can but, but, but. This is, hold on. I like to watch her be happy. I'm not gonna get the damn. But Jess is right. Jess might be right because I, I, I, I, there's always a connection.

Because Sissy's basic was in another film. Hey. Called, I guarantee St. Claix, you know Sissy's basic was in co-minors daughter. She admitted to never having seen the movie. Okay, well, I just want to give her a little, I want to give Jesser flowers because.

Why? The first, the first. Thank you, Paul. Paul, take care of me. The, Paul takes care of me. I don't understand, I heard you say the same thing in the same voice backstage.

I don't, I'm just gonna clarify. I have to be with my core Jessica. Jessica, I have to be with my core. Jessica, I have to be with my core. Jessica came over the other day and I was, she was putting an outfit together and, and I said just maybe try like a button down shirt on it and she grabbed one of Paul's shirts

and she put it on and she said, I like the way this shirt feels. And I said, okay, and then she said, as she was buttoning it up, she goes, Paul takes care of me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It was the strangest thing. The judge.

When I need to figure out where a Donald goes into what court the public answers the phone. Oh, God. Not you, fucking asshole. Please, keep pulling. Keep pulling. Pull. Yes, please.

Let it be Paul. So I would like to say that Jessica is kind of right because Sissy's face is her first film with a movie with Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman called The Prime Cut, where she played an orphan named Poppy who gets sold into prostitution. There we go. That's no, no.

There we go. I say no. This is no, no. There we go. No. I say no. This is no, a win for say, Claire. Six degrees of Sissy's basic. That's the game we're playing both. You see it also. Any other Sissy's basic. Also 25 years later in the Lonesome Dove prequel, Cisi's Basic also played a former prostitute,

now married with children and the residents must be okay with her previous occupation. I don't know what I was at school, D. Thank you, Paul. Is it simply the connection? Is there's a sex worker in the movie? Yeah. Then then pretty woman is like this movie.

Okay. Now you're making connections. That's called Yes and. God. So here's what I'll say. Jamie Presley delivers this monologue about her parents dying, her being, you know, sold into sex work and entertaining these men and now she's here. And then it leads into a sex scene. It seems to me the worst possible time to have a sex scene, right? Like, yeah, and then I became a sex worker. Great. Sex man would never be.

Mario, I don't mean she didn't tell me it's okay. She also says she didn't like it. She has a very negative reaction to it. And then it segues directly into pretty uncomfortable sex. And the best, it's the best beginning of sex of all time because... It is? to it and then it segues directly into pretty uncomfortable sex. And the best, it's the best beginning of sex of all time because it is? Well, what I will say is it's so poor. It's a poor, plain, Paul.

Because she has her bra off, but it is still placed over her breast. So she lays down the bra could be easily peeled. It's on the hook. Okay, this is why I said women were harmed during the making of this movie. So she lays down. The brock be easily peeled. It's on the hook. This is why I said women were harmed during the making of this movie. Because when she had that broad just laying across her, I was like, good, Jamie.

Good. You know what kind of movie this is? That was a great choice for you. And then in the next frame, it's off. And I think something must, some conversation must have happened as they often do. Yeah. That they show her the dailies of that one woman

who took off her bra and the previous thing is like, it looks so good. That's the most uncomfortable thing. I know, and she's forced to wear pantyhose, that poor girl, that poor pantyhose. You know, on the other way, the moment you can, you take them off. Why was that? This is what I you take them off. Why was that?

This is what I really didn't understand. Why was that woman killed? And shoved in a locker. Why? I don't know. I don't know. While this movie's going on, there's just a serial killer. Well, no, the villain guy, the villain guy,

kills her, the bad guy who's been, but the biggest question to me has. He has some line that explains it, but I don't remember. But the question to me is this. I'm a Ben Stode myself. Forget about it. The main character that we're looking for, Liles. Mario Lopez is best friend that he's got to bring a picture of his best friend

to remember what he looks like. I'm scared. My only clue to my best friend is the picture of my best friend. Everybody in movies is carrying last night's movie picture of the daughter. Everybody in movies is like, I need a picture. Otherwise, the events of this movie cannot take place. So, but the one character that is assumed to be dead is not. He's in the brig, but multiple other people are also dying.

Like the guy in the gyroscope, he died. Where did he put his body? By the way, they said you could be like your buddy over here, dead on the wheel. They cut to him, breathing so heavy. They cut to him and he's visibly breathing heavily. And I'm like, guys, Dallas is alive. Yeah, I get him some medical attention.

I have an update on Dallas. He's okay. That's what I mean. I think they got like one take of everything. And we're like, oh, who cares, put it in. Who cares as long as they're in long, long underwear? Who cares? All I care about is that they're shirtless in boxes, shorts,

like go run to the knee. They're like board shorts, but tight. I realize that. Yes! Yes! Like, what is this? What is this? I do have one pair of underwear like this.

Why? No, you don't. Wait, wait, but is it for sports? It is. OK. And it's not that long. It is. They are.

Sometimes they shoot down past my shorts that I'm wearing and I'm like, I gotta use them up. They shoot down? Now they get that kind of propulsion. What are you doing? They're letting me out. Let me out. Let me out.

Bam! Oh, God. Oh! Oh, God. Fuck, fuck. They are very, yeah, they are tricky shorts. It's also, when you see a man, when you see a man with their own tricky, they're so tricky. If you didn't watch the movie, this is what they're in for, I'm going to say 75% of the movie.

Absolutely. Well, that's his film. Paul, may I say something about the movie. This is what they're in for. I'm gonna say 75% of the movie. Absolutely. Well, that's his film. Paul, let me say something about the color of them. If they were crisp snow white, I would be okay. But they're oatmeal. Yes, they look like they're just like, how about also the mock turtle neck? That's when I knew we were in trouble.

They're wearing an oatmeal bodysuit. Talked in real tight and you love a bodysuit. I do. You never had a bodysuit. Well, you love it. You have the black turtle neck like they're all Steve Jobs or mock tea. I just, can I just say something?

You're neglecting to look at one important fact. Yes, they're oatmeal shorts, but they're also in brown shoes with black socks. They look like... Why did you even notice that I thought they were black shoes? What like an older man, like, oh, I just weren't, you know, like, hey, where are my sock garters? Like, it is a gross look. Guys, this is post-apocalyptic.

This is all we've got. So this is what we've got. And you know what we're neglecting to mention is, they do such a good job seeding and showing us all these guys in their boxers shorts, so that later Richard Greco, once given Mario Lopez's artifacts, can sniff his underwear. What's that all about?

For so long. For so long. For so, so long. This is incredible. What the fuck is this? That's fine. Like that. What is this? I will. I will.

Is this Dennis Hopper and Blue Velvet? Mommy. Mommy. I will say that at least the actors and Mario Lopez when they do, they do play it like, what the fuck is going on? I appreciate that. That's the most natural moment of the entire film.

It's how you stir. And the actors are. And super hot. Did you get sick? But why was he smelling? I don't know. Because he's an alien. I think he's got heightened alien senses

and is trying to get something off of him. I think you're right. I think the smell came into play. What? What did you just say? It didn't seem like the smell came into play. Because he's like, he's smelt him. Or it's like he used it, Paul.

They were like, OK, we've got you. The guys will bring in the stuff. He's like, I'm going to do some stuff. Don't worry. Just roll on it. And then that's what he's doing. Because here's the thing, they know he's gone, right? So what is he smelling that stuff for? Because he's not really like to identify him.

Or you would think he would then use his nose to follow him and be able to trap him or something. But no, that doesn't happen. I thought it was more that he's in love with Mario. That he's like has a sexual, like, some sort of a sinister he wants his parents to think. He wants his parents to think. Yeah.

He just is starting to lose his mind, but there's part of him that wants to devour him, section. Maybe. Hmm. Go on. This is to the... I'm going to say it. I think they're fanfic for this movie.

I will say I mentioned it before, but I do think that Mariela Paz was doing some lovely work in this movie. Oh, yeah. I really do. Like, this was, he is carrying the movie and he's doing a really nice job. Oh, yeah. He felt like an anchor to me when everything else didn't make sense. There were his dimples to rely on. And all to help.

He does have a very good ability to casually toss off jokes and lines and stuff in a movie where everybody else is unfortunately being very by the book. Here we are. We're in the military, but he can be like, who cares, up a band, so I would say what was uncomfortable to me about Mario Lopez in this film was he acted like someone from 1997. Like he felt very contemporary in a movie

where no one else felt contemporary, which is bad, but also good for the viewer who's like, I don't get it. So thank God I have one thing to hold on to at the time. I think that's right. And I do agree with Jessica, like the main thing, I was like, I don't know what planet we're on. I don't know, 800 hours were to travel,

but I do know those dimples, and I know that they are from planet Earth. Like to me? Yeah. Yeah. I don't trust anybody else in Earth. Like to me? Yeah. Yeah. I don't trust anybody else in this movie, but those dimples. To me, he is.

We're in good hands. Yes. To me, he is the olive garden. Will I eat there? Normally, no. But if I'm in a place, I don't recognize any other restaurant. That's the real thing. He's been put to me.

Yeah, I'm going olive garden. I trust that that will provide me a fine meal. Would you win to olive Garden a few weeks ago. And it was pretty great. I was never been there before. And I know. I've also never been to Olive Garden. Let me tell you something, Jason.

I was scared to go. And Paul said it's great. And I said, it is. It's great. We got it. I wanted to control. I was very scared. It's possible you can't mess up. Thank you. And then I'm going to say, it's great! We all, I want to eat control! It's very scared. It's pop, but you can't mess it up.

Thank you, and then unlimited breadsticks. There was a 40 minute wait, and I said, are we really waiting for Olive Garden? And we waited, and we waited, and we waited, and then we went in and sat down. Service was absolutely wonderful, and a giant bowl of pretty fresh salad came out. Tell them about that salad, Jim. It was pretty delicious. You can't get that dress. You can't get that dressing, because that's

a secret. That's a secret. Hang on, hang on. I want to let this go on. Is this an ad? Whatever do you mean? Am I not aware we're doing an embedded ad? This is pure passion. That dressing is good. You get that hot bread. Am I not aware we're doing an embedded ad? What?

This is pure passion. That dressing is good, yet that hot bread... The hot bread? With a little bit of permission. It is a little bit of permission. It's delicious. My kids have as much as you are. As if we hid this Michelin star restaurant from them.

Yes. They said, This is the best meal of my life. Yes. My children's two favorite places now are Papa John's and- But for the politics. For the politics. Well, my son says it all the time.

He'll say, I know Papa John's a bad man, but I love that pizza. Oh, that's cute. But I gotta say, uh- I'm glad we're advertising for these two Oh, that's cute. It's cute as hell. But I gotta say, I'm glad we're advertising for these two behemoths. Olive Garden, I have been sleeping on. And I have been sleeping on a Casper mattress.

Now here's the thing. It arrives in a tiny box full of bread. Now here's the thing. It arrives in a tiny box full of breadsticks. Oh God. Let me ask you this. Oh God. Let me ask you this. Oh God. Come on, it's Saturday night at Larga. You're a mom. In a movie with a lot of homoerotic imagery.

Was there? Yeah. Well, I guess I didn't notice. In a movie with a lot of homoerotic imagery, what did you think of the scene when Jamie Presley is seducing the guard outside of the jail cell? How did they wake this law?

He just came out. This. Mario Lopez's hands. Yes. Yes. That was single. That was the craziest. That was one of the craziest movies I've ever seen.

I've ever seen. That we believe that Jamie Pressley knows that Mario's gonna know to do a reach around. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they could not have planned that. Because Mario is in jail. They could not have planned that. That's not a thing.

No. That's not a thing. But what was even the plan? Like you just You get close to him and why does he wait? I guess the question is why does he have to touch his balls? He doesn't he could have touched his balls and put him there to get choked because they met them in results He does and it's just for fun That's for shitting in it's a goof. It's fun. It's a goof. It's what it's fun.

And it's also like a little bit of a fuck you. In what way? Just like fuck you guard and you thought it was a woman. This is what you could have had. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you thought I wanted to fuck you. A man's grabbing your dick right now. From...

When Jamie Presley shows her hands like a magician, she's like, but meanwhile, she's 15 feet away from him. Of course it's not her hands. Like it was such a great, like, she keeps like... It was just crazy. It was like, honestly, their sex scene went on for so long that I was like, well, maybe they did discuss

this possible scenario somewhere that night. Did you find it awkward or uncomfortable when he was, like, I want to say he's fucking her from behind, but he's not because she's like laying on top of her from behind and they're just like It's a we it's weird imagery because they're not moving really. It's just like he's like planked on her This movie lives in a world in which all of sex is gentle caresses. And that's it, it's all. I know.

Yeah. But you know what? In the grossest movies in the grossest movies that we have done. Starfish, and there he is. She is trying to get it far away from him as possible. It is a starfish, yep. If I was having sex with someone and they were doing that, I'd be like, stop, stop, you're gonna hurt yourself.

Are you okay? Yeah. It is really, I mean, this movie has, you know, besides great sex scenes, amazing fight scenes. That was a little too Mario and again, he's committing and he is our North Star and he is our Olive Garden. But his fight scenes were a little too west side story for me. Yeah.

His fight scenes were like, oh, I can fight. I take Taio every Wednesday, 9 to 10 30. I'll go step further and say all of the military scenes are also like, give me no hope that this is an effective military. I wrote down this was written by someone who kind of watched a military movie. I think they say stuff like this. I won't watch it to make sure. What I couldn't understand is they've got the military training exercise where they're using live bullets. For holograms. Are they holograms? Yes, because they disappear.

So that's what I couldn't make any sense of. But the holograms also have live bullets. Okay, so any hedge. How? That's what I mean, because our guys get hit with real bullets. Right. So hologram get hit with real bullets. Right, so holograms are shooting real bullets from holograms. They're shooting machine guns.

So there's not a lot of like intense accuracy. And it's also like, because they don't have much of a set, it's just three dudes standing with their legs spread apart, like they're riding a horse, Like, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh It's as if like it happened yeah, it's okay It's as if it happened to regular people not at all even people in the military There's supposed to be experts at this Greek goes training them terribly and there and that gets like when you've seen this movie Or seemed like this before it's normally a person on a range. It's like Woman with shopping cart don't shoot her bad guy. Oh shoot him like you know It's like this is all bad guys, and they all just popped out at different windows and doors. That was it.

Yeah, I mean it seems like most of their training is just like upper body work. Yeah They're jousting in one scene like a very gladiator and in the obstacle and in the obstacle course they never take cover They're like our job is to be as out in the open as possible It's wild. It's a wild movie and I think it deserves this audience to ask us some questions or to illuminate us. Maybe the director and writer is out here. Maybe we know about the old millshorts. We don't know. Maybe Richard Greco is here. We will see. Mr. Cove. Paul, before you, okay, if you don't mind, before you do, I do just wanna give my favorite Richard Greco quote for the movie.

Yeah, okay. And it is, would you ram a bayonet up your own mama's Gucci and feed her liver to the devil? That was improvised. What? For sure. It was improvised, but Mario Lopez says yes to that faster than would you kill the president. He's like, would you kill the president?

Yes. Would you kill your mother? Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Oh, yeah. Well, you know what? Speaking of Richard Grigoline, I'm going to have you do your best version of, say, for Pete's sake. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Oh, yeah. Well, you know what?

Speaking of Richard Greco line, I'm going to have you do your best version of, say, for Pete's sake. And so say your name and for Pete's sake and your question. My name's Clint. For Pete's sake. That's good. That's really good. That's great.

My question about Richard Greco's character is he can heal from bullets to the face and sent me his fluids. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. That's a good question, though sent me his fluids. Hold on, hold on. That's a good question though. I'm sorry, ma'am. Yeah, he healed from bullets to his face.

His fluids cure the scar on the person's arm. Why does he have a scar on his face? We never find out, right? We never find out. My conjecture, Greek I wanted it. Yeah. Who would go to the... At Cal?

My guy has a scar and they were like, oh, but your guy heals from anything. He's still got a scar. I'm going to go to the S-man. I'm going to go to Pete. The S-man saw his hand up over here. All right, Pete. Right here.

All right, so here we go. We know your name. It's Pete. But give me for Pete's sake. Oh, for Pete's sake We know your name. It's Pete. But give me for Pete say, oh for Pete's sake. And your question. For my sake. Great.

I thought you were going to touch on this with the director. I have some amazing movies. Okay. That is some of them probably are problematic. Not the 13th, 13th. The movie they made 14 in two years. So Paul, you have a better voice, so I'm going to go ahead. The wrong student. The wrong crush. 13, 13, the movie that he made 14 in two years. So Paul, you have a better voice, so I'm gonna go ahead.

The wrong student, the wrong crush, the wrong man, the wrong cruise, the wrong friend, the wrong teacher. So this is the wrong boy next door, the wrong stepmom, the wrong mommy, the wrong tutor, the wrong cheerleader. Did you say the wrong mom and the wrong house sitter, the wrong wedding planner, the wrong stepfather, the wrong cheerleading coach?

The wrong fiance, the wrong mr. right, the wrong prince charming, the wrong Mr. Right, the wrong Prince Charming, the wrong Valentine, the wrong cheer captain, the wrong blind date, the wrong high school sweetheart. And that's that wow. Wow. Great. You had me at the wrong mommy. Wrong mommy. And very quickly, Jessica, it's so great to see you. I'd moved from New York out to LA. I just want to know, how is the Sinclair Faberjee a collection going?

Well, I was going to bring up that grandmother. We used to bring her to Olive Garden all the time. It was her favorite restaurant in South Philly. And we would say that it was her birthday every time, even if it was like it she was Mortified but I will tell you what do they bring out a spread when it's your birthday It's almost like when you're there your family It's exactly like that somehow This is a second spot

What how much are they giving us for these weird and Olive Garden bucks What, how much are they giving us for these words? We're getting all of Garden Bucks. What is this? Hi, what's your name? Chelsea. Chelsea, give me your best for Pete's sake. For Pete's sake. Oh, I like it. All right, great.

Now, your question. So, following up on the director, he is actually a former adult film star. Okay. And this came up with talking cats. And there's actually a theme in all of his movies that he specifically casts men that he likes to see in outfits that he used to wear during his days as an adult film star.

So that's why the casting in this movie is all a very specific body type and why they're all in there very long tidy Whites and boots the whole time. Wow, where are those? So I will tell you this. I will tell you this as you just said this you have unlocked a core memory. This is... Here we go. Oh no! And away we go. Oh, no. And away we go. Oh, no. Paul, you have a stage. I don't want to be sad again. No. Don't fake me.

When human giant, Paul, were you in this movie? When human giant was shooting in Los Angeles, before downtown got repurposed as a very artistic and nice. It was kind of just a trash bag, a bunch of stages and sets that you could get for really cheap. So we were in this one stage and you could rent like every floor you could rent a different stage. And on the front of the building, we had our little poster that said, you know, filming

MTV human giant. And then there was another one that says, letters to Lonnie. And I was like, oh, letters to Lonnie is in the basement. And so I went downstairs to go get a phone call. And I go down the stairs just a little bit. And as I turn, there is a naked man in a military hat and those shoes and socks. Those? Like that kind of like military look and he had a heart on and I realized that he was shooting,

he was shooting a letter to Lonnie was an adult film, and that was going on there. And you've just remembered. Oh, my God. And he was like kind of on a smoke break, and was like, hey, and I was like, hey, we're shooting upstairs, and he was shooting downstairs. It's like I'm' all over, man. Flood, baby. Wow.

But that look seems similar, maybe it was, maybe it was just. And he just has to maintain interaction just throughout. I didn't have to. I didn't have to. You just have to beat the car. We didn't have to stay there for too long. We didn't have to stay there for too long. I just remember the image of seeing,

I remember it because I was like phone, phone, phone, shoes, dick, hat, I'm gonna go upstairs. It was all very quick. It was not like I was there for a long time, but I remember seeing shoes and pulled up socks and like I helmeted it even wearing the trenches. So maybe. That's a hat. All right, so.

All right, so. All right, so. See him like a nice gentleman, letters to Lonnie. I don't know if anyone's seen it. Anyone, letters on it. This episode promos a lot of stuff. That's right, we can watch that. All right, we have a question over here.

What is your name, your best letters, best letters to Lonnie? Your best letters to Lonnie? Your best. What is your name? It's a creepy person. It's canceled. Your best letters to Lonnie.

I mean, I wonder what was in those letters to Lonnie. I don't know. All right, your name, your best Pete's sake, and your question. My name is Gonzo, for Pete's sake. All right, I like it, it's understated, great. Yeah, I had a problem from the get go, where it's at least insinuated,

that he's there to find his friend, protect his friend, do something with his friend. Yet, at the end of the movie, his friend is shot dead in front of him and barely reacts. He's kind of like, he's like, oh shit. I feel like he's built a mel. He's four upset beer about Quintana.

Yeah. Then he is about his friend. And also, I'm still thinking about the mechanics of the reach around. So, you can clearly see it's a browned hand, so it's his cellmate. So, his friends reach around and rubbing his cock in the guy off. It's a Lionel Pryor.

Yeah, Lionel Pryor. So, he's rubbing his cock with one hand. The guys enjoying it for half a second before he realizes it's not Jimmy Pressley. Then, Marlopus grabs him behind, insinuating that Marlowe Piss grabs him behind, insinuating that Marlowe Piss is probably resting his cock in balls on top of the guy's head

whilst this is going on. I agree, because that was the- I didn't realize this was the poster. I was like, wow. You see the door, somebody. I couldn't figure out, I felt like I thought that was hilarious or something because Jamie Pressley She's like she's deducing the guard. Yes, we talked about what you were in the bathroom. She just walks away and is like here

And it's and it's the guys in the cell are both jerking him off and then choking him out well Is the name of one of this directors movies? Yeah I mean, is the name of one of this director's movies? Yeah, she can't put that one down. Now, but now what I'm understanding here, we still got it! The olive garden! When you're here, you're fucking family!

The wrong jerk off, the wrong choking him out. But now it does make sense. He's like, Liles, let's do that thing that we do. Okay, I get the cock, you get his neck. But you're right. I will say to your initial point, you're absolutely right. He's in voiceover, his goal is to find his friend. The guy he's carrying a picture of,

they have, you know, he's his, you know, whatever. And then he finds him, oh my God, they have a brief moment, the guy is shot dead in front of him and he's like, later. But. Okay, but here's my favorite thing about Lyle too, is that when they find each other, they have a moment together and then I think

a few minutes later, Lyle's lying on the bed. Just staring straight ahead. Oh, yeah. There's no energy of like, now we're gonna get the fuck out of here. I've been trapped here. lying on the bed. Just staring straight ahead. Oh yeah. There's no energy of like, now we're going to get the fuck out of here. I've been trapped here. And he's like, what are you doing?

He's like, I'm looking for a way out. In a live reading. I think I'm still resting. I thought he went to go back to reading. Here, I just will quickly show you know for those of you who are concerned, you can give his friend a second look. Maybe the producer shot that as well, because they added thisio. So this is the end into the Vio here.

I keep going over it in my head trying to remember the exact sequence of events. Trying to think of all the alternate paths I might have taken. Looking for the one that could have saved lives in the others. I only had a second chance. You'll get one Murphy. Someday we all will. No how! How are you giving second chances at the events of the movie? You cannot bring your best friend back to life, but I do love this moment too. Suddenly we all will, she says.

I want to be clear, this is the last line of the movie. Some, she says, you will get a second chance at what? You can't bring that. To the event of this movie, you'll be able to do it differently and save all your friends. I'll try to cue up, there'll be a sequel. I think so, I think it's like there will be a sequel. This will, because this is, of course. It is bold, it's the journey, this is absolutely.

It's got a lot of movies made. That's sure. How about the journey colon resurrection? Yeah. bold it's a journey absolutely movies made sure how about the journey colon resurrection yeah i will just say just to point out this one thing the special effects clearly were done way after and this moment when they're all looking at the

alien they probably said you're gonna see the school alien being in what they could afford was just a flashing yellow light uh... but they all are pictures of the wake cooler so here we go that your mission is here in completion we have monitored your progress on the blue planet for some time from your rival and integration into the human habitat

to your eyes of command and you have you have done well but i must now back to the implementation of the Celestial Get- Letters to Lonnie! With each hour the survival of a blank race is ready! And why is the evil alien the voice of movie phone?

At 710 you can see Avatar 2 way of water! The Earth will be destroyed by our great leaders. Time is of the essence. The cycle is almost complete. The attack force will be ready to strike. So guys, time to cut it out. Their objective has to be clear.'s not being ready to give their lives for the cause. I swear to God, this is what letters to Lonnie look like. I would believe you. Many years later, I shot in that basement with Christopher Lloyd, a funnier die sketch, and I couldn't get that image out of my head.

I would believe it if this was all repurposed footage from a different movie. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Okay, so obviously we had opinions about this film, but there are people out there with a different opinion. And it is now time for second opinion, Zach, take it away. Woo! Woo! What is this I see? A low quality movie is on my screen.

That means June Paul and Jason will have to see. Provide us all with funny commentary, literally. If you have something to say, because you have a collectic taste, you know, Amazon is the place, because no one can see your face. Greekos character is not gay, leather gloves and cigars all day. Are they in the military? Let's hear your opinion. Opinion, opinion, opinion.

Your second opinion. Your fastar opinion. Opinion, opinion, opinion, your second opinion, your five star opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion, let's hear your opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion, opinion. Oh, I got it. Thank you. Love you guys. Thank you, Zach.

Great job. Very hard to find any opinions about this movie, but we did. The average rating is a 2.6 out of 5 stars. There are 158 total reviews, 19% or 5 stars, 35% or one star reviews. Timothy W. Thompson writes, never saw this movie before. Fun, title, fun, five stars. Then we move on to Letterbox. For the love of Pete, Richard Greico is getting no notes on his ad living in most scenes and random and clearly reading off of cue cards and others. It is tragic, but the gravitas and

hilarity in Charmey brings to the screen is undeniable. My favorite bad sci-fi movie, the whole set and crew aside from Lopez and Greco, clearly moonlit as a stars of a skin-a-max feature. Flamingly fantastic stars, I love every inch of every shit of this wild film. And you wrote that one? Ha ha. This is the weirdest one. It's a third opinion. It's a one-star review from Luis, and he writes, so I tried to listen to this movie with my earbuds,

but the sound only came out on the left earbud only. And the right earbud is where you would hear it, like the background sounds and footsteps. So then I started with the right earbud in, and I could only hear people talking around me. Then I noticed the characters mouths were moving. I'm talking about in here anything. I was perplexed. Side of both ear buds and to listen. Weird. I only give it one star because there's zero,

they can't give zero stars. So it wasted my time in energy, one star. I will tell you Paul, if that person had the beats, your buds, your phones, you could do my Amazon store thing. I think my Amazon store, you could do this and add for beats. You don't lose them, they wouldn't have that trouble

because they just lay, you could wear them, they magnetically close right here like a little necklace. You never lose them. Never lose them. They're wonderful. Beef. What the fuck is happening?

Beats, the beets, buds. Can we just shout out things? And, and, and, and, and, Yeah, if they come up. Yeah, wow. You know, they come up, wow. They come up organically. These are some of the tags that this movie has on IMDB. Sex scene, asteroid, male nudity, alien, post-apocalypse, female frontal nudity,

bare-chested male, rear entry sex, blonde, lust, kissing. I feel like these are all porn hub categories. Kissing while having sex. Man wears underwear, woman on top sex, reference to Sun Soo, low budget film, space station, military training, martial arts, bully, cumuppance, independent film. Okay, now-

About covers, then. That pretty much replicates almost entirely my notes, but I will say, where is there a space station? No space station. Unless we are on one. Oh, I mean, I think we're in like the Arctic or something, aren't we? No, that's all of America is now... Just a wasteland.

We're in New America. New America is completely frozen, that's right. Well, any final thoughts? Would you recommend this movie? Would you recommend this to your friends, your family? No. Never. No. I'll be honest. I don't know if I'd recommend this to your friends, your family? No, never. No, never.

I'll be honest, I don't know if I'd recommend it to myself. Yeah. Because you have no memory out there. Because you have no memory out there. I've seen it. I don't know. I don't ever want to discuss this again. I want to forget about it.

I never happens. Yeah, I want to put this in a place I never return to. That being said, I would encourage everybody to watch it. 100%. Thank you, everybody, for coming out to the show. Thank you, guys. Thank you. That is just for me.
