One year ago acclaimed actors Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall appeared together in the film The Judge. The movie is about a big city lawyer returning to his childhood home where his father, the town’s judge, is suspected of killing someone after running them over. It was directed by David Dobkin, was the first feature release from “Team Downey,” Robert and wife Susan’s production company AND Duvall even received a Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. It must be great.
No it’s a steaming pile of garbage.
You the fans did not ask for it, but in this week’s special episode hosts Griffin and David judged the Judge. Together, they discuss at length the trajectory of RDJ’s career and what lead him to turn down roles in Gravity, Oz the Great and Powerful and Inherent Vice to produce and star in the Judge, why Dobkin thinks he’s funny and why possible incest is always a great sign for drama.

[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, okay, that was a good idea.
[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_01]: That was a terrible piece of content.
[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_03]: That was great, that was one of my better ideas.
[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_03]: What are you making? What do you make?

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Robert DeVo.
[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_01]: My old friend Molly from middle school.
[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And in one of my jokes, I invoke the name of someone else who went to middle school
[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_01]: where and she was like that was really funny when you used her name.
[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, thank you, and she's like, thank God, you don't make me jokes about me.
[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, well, don't listen.
[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I have to start a lot of it.
[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Poor Molly.
[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly.
[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_03]: And how's she doing?
[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: She's doing great.
[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_03]: That's good.
[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_01]: She's my oldest friend.
[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I haven't seen her in a while, but she's, I've known her since I was like two or three.
[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_03]: You doxed her as they say on that episode.
[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_03]: And you know what?
[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And you know it's Molly Sims, your sister.
[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Molly isn't Molly Sims like a mattress.
[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Molly.
[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Were clearly the one who was on boss biggest?
[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right.
[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_01]: We're clearly avoiding talking about the movie that we've selected today for obvious reasons.
[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's so different than you said.
[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to say, like, because I had never seen this film.
[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Fans demanded it.
[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_01]: We remember all those things.
[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_01]: That's what you had fans to manage.
[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_01]: That's true.
[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_01]: We were indated.
[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not like I just pushed this thing up and held people wanted it so badly.
[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Stores episode 1.
[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_01]: One of the 10 highest grossing films of all time.
[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you follow that up with?
[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_03]: The judge.
[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's the next Oscar nominated.
[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Two hour 22 minute drama.
[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_03]: 24teen.
[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_03]: David Dobgins.
[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_03]: The judge.
[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Now, many for one Academy Award.
[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_01]: One Academy Award.
[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, get to.
[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_01]: We, you know,
[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_01]: recently discovered that there was a sequel to Star Wars episode 2.
[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_01]: So, judging the judge was a getting about it.
[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I know.
[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Attack of the clown.
[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Attack of the clown.
[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the next week.
[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_01]: That's next week.
[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_01]: You guys want to hear about attacking the clowns?
[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Two and next week.
[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, you're stuck with us.
[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Talk about the judge.
[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to do 10 episodes on the judge.
[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And now it's just one because we got to get to attack the clown.
[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_03]: We did have 10 episodes planned.
[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_03]: There's enough time in the judge to do 10 episodes for you.
[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't think-
[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know about material, but there is time.
[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Literal time in this movie.
[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, my greater concern is we only have so many listeners.
[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_01]: We can afford to hemorrhage per episode.
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know about that.
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, imagine.
[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_01]: If we do judging the judge every episode will lose another 15 loyal listeners.
[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, right.
[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Because the commentary already, that already cut into things better.
[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_01]: So it would leave us with negative 2,000 listeners.
[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_03]: If we be paying robots to listen to our shows, that would be saying-
[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_01]: In the end zone.
[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_01]: The judge.
[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, L judge.
[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Judging the judge.
[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh.
[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, we said, why do you get on the judge?
[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Is it just because I made a Robert Duval joke in the first episode of this podcast?
[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I think so.
[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, you gotta see this fucking movie.
[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_01]: It's insane.
[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_01]: You don't understand how crazy it is.
[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Just to start the judge 24-
[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Robert Downey Jr. is one of my favorite actors.
[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I have a huge soft spot for him.
[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Same here.
[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Same here.
[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I think I, you know when I was a kid and he was an Allen McBeal.
[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I just loved him.
[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I've always-
[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I've always-
[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I always beg a lie.
[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, go right ahead.
[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, just unrap it as much as possible right next to the microphone.
[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I've always loved him.
[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_03]: This sounds like-
[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I love-
[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I love DJ.
[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Love-
[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_03]: DJ.
[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_03]: And uh-
[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_03]: This I am a film and television critic for the Atlantic.
[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I am invited to press screenings of all major releases.
[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I was invited to see the judge.
[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Robert Downey Jr. news the star of it.
[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And he never makes movies anymore.
[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_03]: He makes Marvel movies and like nothing else.
[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, I check that the running time is an hour-
[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, sorry, it's 145 minutes basically.
[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_03]: And I refused to go.
[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_03]: So that was my experience of the judge before last night.
[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, you are covered in scallion cream cheese right now.
[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_01]: It's disgusting.
[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_01]: My mustache has made my love of bagels and cream cheese very definitely.
[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Because now I just always got-
[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_01]: It looks like I got seam in him face.
[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, Griffin has a big wishy mustache for the role he's currently playing on HBO's Rock and Roll.
[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Salary, undisclosed.
[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, I had a somewhat experienced, too.
[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_03]: I love Robert Downey.
[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I love him.
[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_03]: When did you fall in love with Robert?
[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I really do think it was, uh, Adam, Alima Kbeel for me.
[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Because I was a little too young for his first wife.
[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_01]: No, the moment I remember really falling in love with him was weird because it's a small part
[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_01]: but both finger.
[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, he's great in both finger.
[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Ah, that's true.
[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_03]: That's when he was mired in the drug use and the personal problems like both
[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_03]: finger, Wonder Boys.
[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_03]: He's giving these really fun supporting performances.
[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, he's just not figured his life out yet.
[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_01]: He's putting a lot of spice on the side dish.
[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_03]: You know?
[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I love him in both finger to love that man.
[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I just remember because he was so much a part of the news and I was like a kid who
[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_01]: like wants another fucking pop-club stuff and make easy jokes about it.
[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, me too.
[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_01]: So like the meme was just like this guy's a disaster.
[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna die.
[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_01]: He's showing up on lawns.
[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_01]: He's doing crazy shit.
[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And I remember seeing him in that movie and like being prepared to like make jokes about how
[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_01]: bad and drugged out he was to get easy laughs out of my parents.
[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And now it's like, well, this guy's really good.
[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't reconcile that with the cultural narrative that is being presented to me.
[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_03]: He was someone I think, you know, and still is someone with just such bottomless charm on screen
[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_03]: that like he just holds the camera really well no matter what crappy part or what
[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_03]: crappy lines he has.
[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's even as low as points.
[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I remember his inside the actor studio episode.
[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_01]: He talks very openly about like the waves of his addiction and how it coincides with that.
[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_03]: And he says when in his career is that episode.
[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to say it's maybe like Kiss Kiss Bing Bang.
[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_01]: So he's a master piece and one of my favorite movies on the man but hasn't become
[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_01]: or if you guys have become the star.
[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_01]: The biggest movie star in the world.
[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_03]: No, yeah, for sure.
[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_03]: If you ask me, I would say the thing he's probably the highest paid movie star right now.
[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I think the most bankable.
[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_01]: If you ask me to to anoint the King Queen of Hollywood.
[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll make a lot of money.
[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Who?
[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_03]: But the judge didn't do very well.
[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, this is what we're getting to.
[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, go.
[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_01]: If you ask me the King Queen of Hollywood are our down junior and
[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_01]: you know, I'm sure you're going to be a big fan of the movie star.
[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like they're two people at the top of the heat.
[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, um, right now.
[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Really have the public in the palm of their hands.
[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_01]: They've got big franchises.
[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're talking people.
[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_01]: They're in franchises.
[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_01]: They're big movie stars and respect.
[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I like them.
[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but also respected serious act.
[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's not just movie stars.
[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like Lawrence has an Oscar.
[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And this is getting to our big point here.
[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Johnny, Jane, nominated twice.
[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Is viewed as an inevitable?
[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you think so?
[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I think he made some more movies.
[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_03]: He wouldn't.
[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, his first Oscar comes when he's 24.
[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_03]: His nomination.
[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_03]: He means for a chaplain.
[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, his first nomination.
[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_03]: He's very young in chaplain.
[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's when he was being touted as this like,
[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Whoa, look at this guy.
[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_03]: He's the next pick up.
[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Right. Yeah.
[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_03]: What's he, you know, he's in like,
[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Aroamerica.
[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_03]: He's in less than zero.
[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you do to the whole round team films?
[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, he's got supporting part and weird signs on SNL for a season.
[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I mean, you know, quick back story.
[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_01]: But his father is like,
[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Tony.
[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's glorious sort of like counter cultural.
[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Guns, uh, comedy side of the scene.
[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_03]: You've got to see put on your spoke.
[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_03]: It's incredible movie.
[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_01]: My dad's favorite movie of all time.
[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Such a good movie.
[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Um it's it's an awesome awesome movie and he's a great guy also.
[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_01]: He's also.
[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Notoriously lunatic.
[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And dien Jr. was the product of a that man and a French owner who he fell in love with
[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_01]: and cast a lot of his films.
[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and grew up in a household where he was surrounded by all these sort of like counter cultural.
[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_01]: fuck the man.
[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_01]: We don't need to play by the rules.
[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sending like such a grandpa describing this.
[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Artists, right?
[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, California surrounded by these sorts of people
[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_01]: who were obsessive in their work.
[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he was kind of ignored a little.
[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure, I think he started using drugs every young age.
[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_03]: He said, yes.
[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_01]: First on screen performance I think was in
[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Robert Dynastine, yours pound when he was like four or five.
[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And his first line is, what you don't think I got here in my balls.
[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And it was like, I think that says a lot about
[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_01]: his relationship to his father is like he had to be in his dad's
[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_01]: and we're saying I think it was in a proper way for a kid like that.
[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he said first one of pot when he was like seven or eight.
[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, something like that.
[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_03]: It was just like lying around.
[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he was the, yeah, he was like, I think he said some guy literally
[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_01]: handed him one.
[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you want to try this.
[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And so like he was very much the product of his surrounding.
[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_01]: All this stuff was available to him.
[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_01]: He saw these adults using these things and recreational ways.
[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, inhibiting unleashing the full potential their creativity.
[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_01]: There was no stigma around doing this and he very much was a gateway drug for him
[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and he very quickly went fully spinning out of control.
[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_01]: So even by the time he is like 17 18 and he's in less than zero, which
[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_01]: was a big performance up put him on the map playing a dude who
[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_03]: in the pickup part is same year.
[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Is like, you know, a brilliant charismatic wise beyond his years.
[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Young man who is clearly falling prey to his own self-destructive
[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_01]: devices, you know, who like may not make it.
[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_01]: There's already life imitating art and vice versa.
[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I think there's an narrative for me young in Hollywood of like, oh, but this is
[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_01]: where's it?
[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And where's it again?
[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_01]: He's the second youngest cast member in us and I'll ever hear Anthony Michael
[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Hall get on.
[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_01]: He does one season on the show.
[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_03]: And then he yeah, he's pretty quickly and we'll be star air America.
[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I said, so this chaplain shortcuts, you know, a natural
[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_03]: born killer.
[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just to an altman film everything.
[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_01]: But chaplains are big one.
[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_01]: You're playing Charlie Chaplains.
[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a huge kick.
[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a tall order.
[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_01]: You're going to play Charlie Chaplains.
[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_01]: You're going to have to recreate chaplains, but he does a beautiful, I mean the physical
[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_01]: quality is insane that.
[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not a good movie though.
[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not a good movie.
[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a very aggressively mediocre.
[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean it's Richard and Bert County.
[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_01]: It's super bland.
[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_01]: But he was a great performance and everyone goes Jesus Christ.
[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_01]: How this guy pulled off.
[00:11:15] [SPEAKER_01]: He's the guy.
[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_01]: He's the guy, the generation.
[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And proceeds to, you know, they kind of try to push him into a movie star.
[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_01]: He does some romantic comedies, none of them really work.
[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_01]: He's following more and more prey to his dick.
[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_01]: He can't even talk about it.
[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, home for holidays, which on that episode of Inside the Actor Studio, he refers
[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_01]: to as the most relaxed performance in the history of film because of how much hair
[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_01]: when he was on.
[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_01]: It's crazy.
[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_01]: He's so alive.
[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_01]: And he said like, Jodie Foster would come in and be like, I know that no one calls
[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_01]: you out on this because you're still able to deliver but I will not let you behave
[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_01]: this way.
[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And was like, is it affected my performance?
[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_01]: And she's like, no, it's not.
[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, the most fucking problem.
[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_01]: He sounds like a really nice guy too.
[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Was really, you know, struck.
[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I really like two girls in a guy too.
[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I remember it's not a good movie but it's kind of a fun movie.
[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Jimmie Tobacco.
[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Who is that?
[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_03]: It's also out of his mind.
[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_01]: The most tobacco and filmmaker.
[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you know that James Tobacco interviews will say, I think it's probably the most
[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_01]: purely tobacco in of my films.
[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, it's career-based glispy roles for years and years and years.
[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_03]: He keeps like he's in US marshals.
[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_03]: He's in the gingerbread man.
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_03]: He's in both, you know, like he keeps having these kind of cool supporting roles.
[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_03]: But at the same time, right?
[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, he's out of his mind.
[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_01]: He gets on Alemek Biel.
[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It's supposed to be like, here's a seven-grace.
[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_01]: So he blew it as a movie start.
[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_01]: At this point doing TV is very much considered a lesser art form.
[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_01]: You don't cross the real Grande line.
[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_01]: If you punch up the TV, you don't get to go back down.
[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_01]: You know?
[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_01]: And he goes back to TV.
[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_03]: But on the fourth season of Alemek Biel, this is not even like a, you know,
[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_03]: he's dropping into an established out show.
[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_01]: But they tailor make this role for him.
[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's destroyed.
[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Which is funny because he talks about it.
[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, I was just out of my mind.
[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what was doing it.
[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Like he has no memory of being good on that show.
[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And it was supposed to be like he's going to prove himself.
[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to show up on time every day on a TV show, which is long hours hard work.
[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I know I'm getting paid and I'm disclosed amount to do it.
[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's a very demanding situation.
[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_01]: You have to open in.
[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_01]: You're going to do nine months a year and then maybe then.
[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And at the time because like a movie star had not gone down to TV, there weren't
[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_01]: that many instances of it.
[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Like a lot of critics were like this is the best performance in the history.
[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, people people were all over the world.
[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_03]: People were all over the world.
[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but people were like this is we have never seen this quality of work on time.
[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_03]: You want to go and globe.
[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm a for Nemi.
[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_03]: It's very nice job.
[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_03]: But that's fired by the end of that show.
[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Because he can't show up or whatever.
[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, they found him.
[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, there's a big turning point early.
[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I think the 2000's, 2002, 2003 maybe.
[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Ravdan Jr is given like a helmet press.
[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_01]: He finally so bears up.
[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Get to take it and read all about that.
[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I think he's talked about a lot.
[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_03]: We're not going to go into but yeah, he finally.
[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I think he goes to rehab at takes.
[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_03]: He meets a woman.
[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I think who well, this is the most straightener.
[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_03]: No, not yet.
[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_01]: This that's what I want to build up to here.
[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_01]: He gets on the straightener of first.
[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_01]: He sort of finds new focus as life comes very health.
[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Crays spiritually makes an indeticive.
[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I think that's his first kind of like back in the world.
[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And that was Mel Gibson, a man clearly has similar struggles.
[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Went to bat for him.
[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_01]: They had done their America together and he said, no one else will hire you.
[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_01]: No one else will ensure you.
[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Because that's the big thing with a movie for you.
[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he could be in charity.
[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_03]: He was on insurable.
[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_01]: They need to take out an insurance bond to prove that the actor is not going to die before
[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_01]: you're filming because then you throw away the home.
[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Or in the case of Fast and Furious 7, Furious 7, you spend like an additional 80 million
[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_01]: dollars.
[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_01]: CGI.
[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_01]: What's that?
[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_01]: The insurance.
[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Right, but it was a belabor thing.
[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_01]: He can't get insured.
[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Mel Gibson puts up the insurance bond because he believes this guy needs a chance.
[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_01]: But the movie doesn't do very well and no one can not have bad movie.
[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_01]: But he's great.
[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Have you seen the gambon any of going?
[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_01]: At this point.
[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's got the same situation.
[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's the one, David.
[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Got the cause we're lead the turning point.
[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Not a good movie.
[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_01]: A terrible film.
[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_03]: So I think he was also struggle to insure.
[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you, you, you, you.
[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_01]: But that was his first like big studio sort of back on the straightener.
[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: He has a small part.
[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_01]: You thought really hard to get it.
[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_01]: On that film, there was a woman producing it whose last name I don't.
[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Susan Susan something.
[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_01]: She married.
[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_01]: She was Joel Silver.
[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Have you wait Hollywood producer?
[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Producer.
[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_01]: The diehard films.
[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_01]: The Matrix.
[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_01]: The Predator.
[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Tons of stuff.
[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Hudsucker proxy.
[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_01]: One of my favorite films of all time.
[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_01]: But he's mostly a big action director.
[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And he started to do more sort of horror, producer.
[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I'm more, more horror genre, a little bit stuff when that started to hit big.
[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Gothka Halle Berry put in it.
[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_01]: They give him this small role.
[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_01]: The legend goes that this woman Susan who was originally his assistant moves up to being
[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_01]: a producing partner with him is on the set with him.
[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_01]: A one day turns to down a junior and says, I don't get it.
[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Why aren't you the biggest star in the world?
[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And he was like, well, I thought it's a struggle in this and that.
[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And she goes, but you're got it together now.
[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it feels like you really got it together.
[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not temporary thing.
[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, I don't know how to do it.
[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And she makes it her life's mission to make Robert D'Anne Jr., the star.
[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_01]: She believes he was always intent to be.
[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_01]: They also fall in love.
[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_01]: It's quite a story.
[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_01]: She becomes Susan Downey, which is why we don't remember her last night.
[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Susan Downey PGA.
[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: She's in the credit to the judge.
[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And she very quickly gets Joel Silver to...
[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Is it Kiske's Bayingman?
[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, which is a pretty special.
[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a really good thing.
[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Black, remote, some of Joel Silver's biggest.
[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like lethal weapon.
[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Leath the weapon all those rest.
[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Good night, yeah.
[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And so he gets in that's a big thing because now he's the leading man in the film.
[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't do tremendous business, but it's really well-loved.
[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_03]: It is a critical hit and it is, yeah, it's basically a calling card.
[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's like, hey, remember Robert Downey Jr., he's so fucking charming.
[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And he can carry this.
[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_01]: He's so funny, so charming, he's so uncontrollable.
[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I recently wanted him to be for the 80th time and it's incredible.
[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Using Star Power.
[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And now we're in a slightly older, down Jr., he's a little salt and peppery
[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and he's showing the battle scars.
[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_01]: He seems like a man who's been through some stuff and it makes them more interesting.
[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's playing a career criminal.
[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, not getting a second chance.
[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_03]: He starts doing roles along those lines.
[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, good night, good luck.
[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_03]: And the guy's recognizing your Saints in the scanner, darkly.
[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_03]: And Zodiac, these roles of slightly weathered guys who are kind of clinging on a little bit,
[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_03]: you know, rather than sort of breezing through things.
[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_01]: He's using his life experience at my mouth full of bagel.
[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Of course, to to tap into like a sort of previously unseen but also retaining his original
[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_03]: like super charm.
[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I would argue, you know, to paraphrase,
[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I've sketched Fitzgerald.
[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of, you know,
[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_01]: a second axe in American lives.
[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_01]: He's playing characters who are struggling to define a second axe.
[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Who want a second axe?
[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_01]: It's true, kiss, kiss, maybe.
[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Ah, true, the shaggy dog just kidding.
[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't seen the shaggy dog.
[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_01]: He's actually great now.
[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, he's genuinely phenomenal in it.
[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_01]: But he's starting to establish a second act.
[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like maybe he's just going to be a really solid, you know,
[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_01]: secondary actor and big movies and then like he's drama and he'll be the lead and play.
[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And then John Favre.
[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we kind of know the rest.
[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Goes this is the guy.
[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Marvel goes no way.
[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not even a comment.
[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm saying who else would have even been considered for Tony Stark?
[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Because like, you kind of do you know,
[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I know Sam Rockwell was was very seriously talked about.
[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_01]: That's interesting.
[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_01]: He wouldn't be good.
[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Not as good.
[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_01]: No.
[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_03]: There's some other people who have Sam Rockwell, but he's not.
[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Sam Rockwell, I know was very high up on the list.
[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Or maybe why they wrote in that part in the second.
[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_03]: No, right.
[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_03]: But when Robert Downey Jr.
[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_03]: is was cast as Iron Man.
[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I was just instantly, especially because Iron Man is this character in the comics
[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_03]: who has struggled with drinking and his like excess.
[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And you're like, oh yeah, that's exactly that's exactly right.
[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And I have a very distinct memory.
[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_01]: My father saying, hey, did you hear that R.D.J.
[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Robert Down Jr is playing with you?
[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I said, well, it was Iron Man.
[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And I went, yeah, and he went, they're really scraping the bottom
[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_01]: of the barrel, huh?
[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Now my dad's assessment was if that's the biggest guy
[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_01]: they can get, the movie is a pre-determined flop.
[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Whereas I think my assistant winner,
[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_03]: and I had heard Marvel, he had a guy
[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_03]: who that character was.
[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Because who is this fucking guy?
[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_03]: No one heard of Iron Man.
[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_03]: And I heard that.
[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, they made the creatively appropriate decision.
[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_03]: That's crazy.
[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_03]: I like that doesn't blow up in their faces.
[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, the approach for superhero movie is always been like,
[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_03]: who's hot?
[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_03]: But now, fuck, okay, he can be Daredevil.
[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what I mean?
[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_03]: No, no thought of like the character he might be playing.
[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, Farrow goes to bat from Selzim really hard.
[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Because this is the only guy.
[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_01]: He does like 20 screen tests and Marvel finally relance.
[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_01]: He gets paid less than any other actor on the film.
[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Tells how we got three times much more than I was.
[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I just paid actor in that movie.
[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Which is why you didn't do the second movie
[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_01]: because he then demanded the same proportionate raise for the second one.
[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And he was like, go suck two turns.
[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_01]: But he's back, baby.
[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_01]: RdJ.
[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And in a way that has rarely happens anymore.
[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And overnight, over a weekend,
[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_01]: he goes from, oh, that guy wrapped in junior who I've seen some stuff over the years
[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_01]: who's in that movie Iron Man that looks cool to like,
[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_01]: America's favorite movie.
[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_01]: overnight, he's undeniably a huge a-
[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's not forget the same year.
[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_03]: He does have traffic thunder.
[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_03]: He's the breakout of that movie.
[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_03]: He gets an Oscar nomination for it.
[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they couldn't have played out any better.
[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and then after that, he basically doesn't make a ton of movies.
[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_03]: So he made immediately vaults to superstar to him.
[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_03]: He makes the soloist, which I think he might have shot before.
[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_03]: That was in the camera.
[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_01]: That was originally supposed to come out before Iron Man.
[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_01]: They pushed it back so it could receive the bomb up.
[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Which it did.
[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_01]: That movie's terrible.
[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_01]: He's good news about the movie.
[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_01]: He's okay.
[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And it is good work.
[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Turela Comes, which is produced by the Silver Company.
[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_01]: This baby is so fucking good.
[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_01]: The Silver Company is why, if they said,
[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_01]: now that you're proven box office start,
[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_01]: let's make a franchise for you where we can benefit from it.
[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Two movies kill at the box office.
[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_01]: So he's now like a franchise guy.
[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I think.
[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I think two is next.
[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, massive.
[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Terrible movie, but massive.
[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And then do date.
[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Which I love.
[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't seen it.
[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I think I think is a secret masterpiece.
[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure about that.
[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I would love to do an episode about do date.
[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_01]: That's fine.
[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's brilliant.
[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_03]: But it did pretty well.
[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Do date.
[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And then Turela Comes two Avengers Iron Man three, the judge.
[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Like he literally just stops making movies that aren't Marvel movies.
[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_01]: So he only is pretty much doing his two franchises.
[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_01]: It's from the moment after Iron Man comes out
[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_01]: because like soloist and tropical thunder
[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_01]: were in the camp.
[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_01]: He experienced the boost from the two of them.
[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_01]: But from the moment the movie signs onto after that point
[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_01]: are just Marvel movies, Sherlock Holmes,
[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_01]: and the two exceptions, the outliers are do date and the judge.
[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Do days directed by Todd Phillips coming straight off
[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_01]: the hangover.
[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_01]: He's very much in the get-in.
[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, true car position.
[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's talking about the Nacce.
[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_03]: You know right off the hangover too.
[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And the interesting sort of thesis question that Todd Phillips
[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_01]: said he was interested in making do date was he went
[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_01]: it's so weird that the downy junior is now this beloved
[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_01]: as an American star because he's so odd and he's so prickly.
[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_01]: That he went I want to try to experiment with how far I can push
[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_01]: downy junior in a film.
[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_01]: It still have audiences like him.
[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And the whole movie is like an exercise in like making the
[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_01]: subtext of the usual downy junior performances.
[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Because he was doing this very odd playing dark characters
[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_01]: and suddenly those characters are dropped into big movies
[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_01]: that kids love.
[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's still like they play it as a little more fun.
[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And if you really think about it, you're like this guy's a mess
[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and due date is just acknowledging how much of a mess he is
[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_01]: and being like you still like him, do you still like him?
[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And you do the whole time.
[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a real test of him as a movie star.
[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_01]: The movie does well financially.
[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It's okay.
[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Critically.
[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that pushes him even further away from trying to experiment
[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_01]: outside these things.
[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_01]: The moral movie is playing so well at this point he's 50 years old.
[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_01]: There are only so many more years he's going to get to do this stuff.
[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_01]: So I think there's this part of him that's like I became a movie
[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_01]: start to this degree, very late.
[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to write this out as hard as I can doing drama as I can always
[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_01]: go back and do that.
[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_01]: It was recently sort of elambasted in the press for
[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah, he was saying he didn't want to make a shitty movie
[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_03]: anymore.
[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_01]: But he did so many for so many.
[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_03]: He did a lot and I remember
[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_03]: defending him to my boss when she was like this is rude.
[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like he knows he can't be on an indie movie.
[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Like he obviously operates under a very strict control of like
[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to be in like a very comfortable Hollywood environment
[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_03]: when I'm making these movies because like that's the time
[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_03]: when I am my most kind of vulnerable.
[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I really, yeah.
[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it also is like a thing I think you can't speak to unless
[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_01]: you, you know, you've done the job but the environment.
[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_01]: The environment really, I'm not saying you can't speak to it.
[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I immediately understood everything he was saying.
[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh sure.
[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_01]: As someone who mostly does tiny shitty indies by people who run
[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_01]: professional and don't know what they're doing, right?
[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm happy to do any work I can.
[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_01]: But I also see the couple of times I've gotten to be on bigger
[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_01]: stuff.
[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_01]: How much easier it is to work when
[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_01]: the everything is planned out properly in the circumstances
[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_01]: are correct in this room for error to be corrected.
[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Rather than just like, oh, can you also hold this light
[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_01]: while you're in the scene because our light guy has pneumonia?
[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, but the judge.
[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_01]: The judge.
[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Our key question that we're trying to answer
[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_01]: is that this is going to be six and a half hours long.
[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Our key question that we're going to answer in now that we've
[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_01]: set up the downed junior narrative.
[00:24:21] Sure.
[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Why would he make the judge?
[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, why do you make the judge?
[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Why do you make the judge?
[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_01]: This is his first film as a producer.
[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_01]: He sets up a first look deal at Warner Brothers to bring them
[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_01]: properties.
[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_01]: He dropped out of a bunch of big movies.
[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he was a community part and gravity.
[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_03]: And he was going to be the Frank reporting on as the
[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_03]: great and powerful.
[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_01]: He was going to play walking.
[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks as role in in her voice.
[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_03]: He would have been so good.
[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_01]: So that's an interesting mix of two guaranteed block
[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_01]: monsters.
[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_03]: He's made all of those movies.
[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_01]: One guaranteed classic from an out tour.
[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, he drops out of all of them.
[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_01]: He's really just sticking the marble thing.
[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_01]: He's getting Warner Brothers to acquire properties
[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_01]: to him for him.
[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, I want this book.
[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to reboot this thing.
[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_03]: He wants to make the black mirror episode about the memory
[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_03]: implant, the thing that the camera and your brain.
[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And there was some old series of tech news
[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_01]: that he wants to make as a franchise.
[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_01]: He has an already James.
[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Do this shit.
[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Do it tons of properties to them.
[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but none of them are getting off the gate.
[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Not because he doesn't want to.
[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_01]: But I think it's him choosing I really want to do this.
[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And his first step for his first film as a producer with his new
[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_01]: team downy banner is the judge.
[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Why would a man who could get any film he wants made at this
[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_03]: point in time make this film?
[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_03]: It is like the the crappiest like 1994
[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_03]: like kind of Oscar, baby, how how how else you describe the
[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_03]: judge.
[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just like it's like Tricle, it's like toxic Tricle.
[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a ham-fisted sort of cliche
[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_01]: late and overrought.
[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, desperate, overlong, overcast, overacted,
[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_01]: overdirected, overbagled,
[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_01]: desperate plea underlit for Oscars.
[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, the only reason because look, maybe he thought
[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_01]: my power so big right now I want to test it if I can make
[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_01]: a mass audience as flocks to an adult character drama, which is not a
[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_01]: bankable genre anymore.
[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure, at least people keep telling me.
[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think did the judge do actually actually have no idea
[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_03]: that.
[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't think it lost money.
[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it was made for a budget he did it for less and his usual
[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_01]: film.
[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right.
[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_03]: But still was he's making 50 million bucks in every
[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Avengers movie doesn't really get.
[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_01]: It was not a hit by any conventional metric.
[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I don't think it was a big like it came out
[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_03]: in the last September or October.
[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And it did, you know, boring business.
[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_03]: It made $47 million domestically on a $50 million
[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_03]: budget and made 83 worldwide, which is pretty bad.
[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Like it made almost no money outside of you.
[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I argue, I mean, those numbers are astounding for how bad
[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_01]: the film is and how uninteresting it's amazing to move you
[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_03]: made that much money.
[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_03]: It opened at number five though at the box up.
[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_03]: That's pretty terrible.
[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And October agreed.
[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Agreed, but we were talking earlier.
[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to crackula untold, which is not a film
[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_03]: that actually existed in no one saw it.
[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I've seen it.
[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I was a phenomenal.
[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_03]: A Charles Dancer's an Oscar on the edge.
[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_01]: But behind the second weekend of Annabelle, this movie opened.
[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_01]: We were talking right before this about men, women and children,
[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_01]: which was not at least fair.
[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, last year, the same year that the truth came out.
[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Really despised that movie.
[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_01]: That film features Adam Sandler, Jennifer Garner,
[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_01]: a couple of big deal movie stars, and so I'll go to his pop
[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_01]: in because the major way, because it's all in our stars, Jason
[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Wright, my director nominated for four Academy Awards
[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_01]: across his first three films.
[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Is that right?
[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, for the first time.
[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Right, right, right.
[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you're right.
[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Not many for directing Juneau and then three nominations
[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_03]: for up in the air.
[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_01]: You might have got a screenplay now for thank you for your
[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_01]: smoking to do it.
[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_01]: No, he didn't.
[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But four nominations, and that film ended up at, I think,
[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_01]: 840,000.
[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure, right.
[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Nobody saw that.
[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Under a million dollars.
[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Most people don't even know it existed worldwide, negligible.
[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm saying, judge is a similar level of overly earnest big
[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_01]: stars doing a vanishing.
[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I know you've been in the industry for the evening.
[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And for the judge, I think, 80 million dollars is not something
[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_01]: that's going to make Warner Bros.
[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_01]: or Robert James Jr.
[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_01]: happy, but in hindsight, it's like,
[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_01]: it's like, it is a test of his star power that he even got
[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_01]: that much out of it.
[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_03]: And also, I'm sure it's the kind of movie that people rent.
[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Like his, yeah, yeah.
[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a pretty crazy number.
[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like sort of a, yeah, it's a cable movie.
[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_01]: But why would he do this film?
[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I genuinely think Robert and I Jr.
[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_01]: thought he was going to win the Oscar.
[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_01]: You think so.
[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_01]: You think Robert and I Jr. read this script?
[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the question.
[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I now post 40 minutes into this episode to try to answer.
[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's 30, but yeah.
[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_01]: To try to answer.
[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I think, and we'll debate this and track it with an answer,
[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_01]: did Robert James Jr. think he was going to win the Oscar?
[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Because what other reason would he have to make this film?
[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_01]: He produced it?
[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I know you started.
[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_01]: You started to get two chances to win the Oscar.
[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think he thought it was it.
[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_01]: There was an interview.
[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_01]: He did a couple years ago.
[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Where they talked to him about does he feel bad that he's been
[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_01]: playing all the time doing these blockbusters, just the same answer.
[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_01]: He's not going to win an Oscar for Iron Man.
[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Iron Man.
[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's my deserve it.
[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And he went, well, for me, it's just an inevitable.
[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And they went really?
[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And he went, look, I've been doing this for so long.
[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I know what I'm doing.
[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I know what I'm capable of.
[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm doing these parts right now.
[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's not something that I'm worried about because I'm
[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_01]: very confident that someday I will get the part that we'll show
[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_01]: everyone and it was just a matter of time.
[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_03]: OK, so you think he is literally scanning the horizon
[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_03]: for this part?
[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think he goes, OK, I'm going to see the script
[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_01]: where I know I can knock it out of the park.
[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I have immense visibility now.
[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_01]: So no one's going to ignore the movie if I'm delivering
[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_01]: and the movie works, I will get nominated and I can win.
[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_01]: This movie is so bad though.
[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_03]: All right, let's talk about it.
[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_03]: That's why he made it.
[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_03]: OK, so let's talk about the movie.
[00:29:33] OK.
[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_03]: It's so bad.
[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_03]: It begins with him pissing on a man.
[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_01]: This is the opening of the film.
[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_01]: So someone is ostensibly a drama.
[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Not a comedy.
[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_01]: No, it's a drama.
[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It has maybe 3% comedic elements.
[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And all of them are misjudged.
[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, Mr. Judging the Judge.
[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_03]: And all of them are basically just
[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_03]: robber down to Junior, kind of doing his funny guy thing.
[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Like any time the movie is like a little bit light,
[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_03]: it's just him trying to be, you know,
[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_03]: it's just robber down to Junior going.
[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Or potentially fucking his daughter,
[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_01]: which we'll get to and let's go look at there.
[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, the opening of the film, David Crumholz,
[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: the great Dave Crumholz.
[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the great ever chubby or David Crumholz.
[00:30:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Look at this real blood.
[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they're like, I don't know if they dressed him
[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_03]: in like a suit that was like eight times to you,
[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_03]: bigger something with David Crumholz looks terrible.
[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I think they're like, I would sue my agent.
[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I think they stuck a bicycle pump in his neck
[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_01]: before each take and gave it a few little up and down.
[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I love David Crumholz, by the way.
[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_01]: These are corrects.
[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_01]: But the opening scene, they are very gorgeous.
[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Is it in LA?
[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't even tell.
[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Is it chic?
[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I think one of those places is it's so superficial
[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_01]: where it's all fucking, I live live,
[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_01]: money, money, money, money.
[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_03]: This is, he lives in Highland Park.
[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_03]: He says that to Crumholz, because he's like,
[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I have a fucking perfect quiet and I fuck my wife
[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_03]: and she looks incredible.
[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think it's a thing in Chicago.
[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_01]: The idea is that he is a morally bankrupt,
[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_01]: sort of duplicitous success driven lawyer
[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_01]: who takes on cases defending clients
[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_01]: who he knows are guilty.
[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Right, he's just bottom line lawyer.
[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Is he doesn't care about the,
[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_03]: whatever, you know, what's the word justice is?
[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's really manipulating morality around.
[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_03]: It's so lame though, who gives a shit?
[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And the movie spends no time on it too.
[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, how do you feel like,
[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_03]: you know, your clients are always guilty
[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_03]: and he's like, I feel fine.
[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Drive my car and fuck my whatever.
[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And are we supposed to be like,
[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_03]: oh, God, this guy is really at the bottom of his,
[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_03]: he really needs to figure it out.
[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_03]: He never really seems that stressed out.
[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_03]: No, it seems like he's killing it the whole movie.
[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_03]: He seems totally level.
[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_03]: In this opening scene, he pisses all over David Crumholz.
[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_01]: David Crumholz is like, do you really think this man's innocent?
[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's like innocent men can't afford me.
[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And now that also doesn't make any sense.
[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure they can.
[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, this guy's like,
[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_01]: evil people, I guess are rich.
[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Or they willing to spend the money
[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_01]: because they know he's the only one who can get them off.
[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Right, he's this renowned trial lawyer.
[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_03]: He's great on the crime.
[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_03]: It's exam, like right, you know, that's.
[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_01]: He's at a urinal and he turns around to say something to him
[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and just literally just peasants.
[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Crumholz is complaining about something.
[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Minute three of the movie, it's a drama.
[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Right, Andrew, and adult male is peeing on another adult male.
[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he was like, oh, sorry, did I peeing on you?
[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was a mistake.
[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Insert shot of urine on shoes on polished black dress shoes.
[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Right, right.
[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_01]: And you're like, what the fuck is this movie?
[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's shot in this very Tony-
[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It's shot by Janus Komsky, who's a great director of photography.
[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Steven Spielberg's regular has shot every Steven Spielberg.
[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_03]: He actually, it's quite nicely shot.
[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, I mean, the man's a master of light and shadow
[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_03]: and like it's used all the time.
[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_03]: It's always these pools of light coming through the window.
[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It's dramatic.
[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It's great, but I have no idea why he's, you know?
[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_03]: What if he and the contractor David Dobkin,
[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_03]: if they had a conversation, I don't know what it was
[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_03]: because I don't know why he's shooting the movie so serious.
[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And quick sidebar, David Dobkin.
[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Have this idea apparently based on experiences with his father
[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_01]: in elder years.
[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_01]: This is right.
[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Pitched it to some writers.
[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_01]: They wrote it for him.
[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And she basically was the writer of Grand Torino.
[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh.
[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Send it around, down in junior saw,
[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I think connected with the Oscar potential.
[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna get in a second.
[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe perhaps some of the father issues in the film.
[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure, yeah, maybe.
[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And the past demons at the characters dealing with
[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and brings it to one of brothers that give it a go ahead.
[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Dobkin's filmography up until that point is,
[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_01]: starts out with clay pigeon.
[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, in the sort of comedy drama we've been spun.
[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_03]: It's all right.
[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It's fine.
[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And he makes Shanghai Knights.
[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_03]: The sequel to Shanghai New,
[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_03]: which is a masterpiece.
[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_03]: The Shanghai Knight's great.
[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Knights'
[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Knaps are fake.
[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a super tonally mistrugged film.
[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_01]: When Shanghai New gets it, just right.
[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Shanghai New is great.
[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And Shanghai New for perspective is from the director
[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_01]: who then went on to direct failure to launch and marmaduke.
[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_01]: So like it's not like this is like, you know,
[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_01]: oh, he's got to take the reins over.
[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_01]: It's, you know, what?
[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a cute script.
[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a jazz computer.
[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, right.
[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_01]: You didn't need another Shanghai New in a really any time.
[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I did.
[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I was really asking for it.
[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I could pray for it every night before I went to sleep.
[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's fair enough.
[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Why can't this franchise be rush hour two?
[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_01]: That's what I would say.
[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Rush hour comma T-O-O.
[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Then he makes wedding crashes.
[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure, which is a monster hit even though
[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_03]: it's a garbage, horrible, horrible song.
[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Fuck, you can't come at me bro.
[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_01]: It's the worst.
[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not funny and it's ugly.
[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It's ugly.
[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_01]: It hates gay people.
[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_01]: It hates women.
[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It only likes cool bros who fuck chicks.
[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Pretty much.
[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's not funny and it's way too long.
[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_01]: It's also like two hours and 15 months.
[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_01]: It is very well shot though.
[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I will say it looks nice.
[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_03]: You sing, I didn't really remember how well it was.
[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It's very well shot.
[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Then he makes red claws.
[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean a catastrophe.
[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Vince Vaughn is Santa Claus' brother.
[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Santa Claus play by Paul Giamati, the juuiest goi in the world.
[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I know he's not, but you can't.
[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_01]: No, yeah, sure.
[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the most juuish.
[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_01]: What should they would just like, we need a fact guy.
[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Who's a fact guy?
[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_01]: He's like, I'm like, I'm trying to bring presents to the kids.
[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_01]: It's such a neurotic Santa Claus.
[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Luther Chris plays an elf.
[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_01]: They filmed a little person.
[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they filmed a little person and then she went.
[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Post, Luther Chris is head.
[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_01]: So his neck never moves properly.
[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_01]: John McClick plays another elf has a love affair with Elizabeth Banks.
[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Martyrs are of talent.
[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Kathy Bates Academy Award winner.
[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_01]: You're going to act around a Richardson Academy Award nominee.
[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_01]: OK, moving on from Fred Claus.
[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Did he make anything between the change up?
[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Which also blows so hard.
[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Another movie about being.
[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, where Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds P into a fountain and lightning hits it
[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_03]: and they change bodies.
[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_03]: And then he makes the judge.
[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_01]: So at this point in his filmography is mostly
[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_01]: probably misjudged comedy that have regressive a social politics
[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_01]: fair enough.
[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And relationships in them.
[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And he goes, hey, this is my personal film.
[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm ready to make a Tony drama with Janice Komenski
[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_01]: and heavy duty big deal actors and page four is
[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_01]: P on the guy.
[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Look immediately.
[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_01]: He's up to his old fucking shenanigans.
[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_01]: He loves being.
[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_01]: It raises the question, would the judge be better if it was more of a comedy?
[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't think there's a version of the judge that's good.
[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_01]: But I wonder if the judge would be better if it took itself less serious.
[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_03]: There is no doubt that the judge would be better if you cut literally
[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_03]: 45 minutes from it and lightened it up.
[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I'd like way up.
[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, if you made the relationship between him and his dad
[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_03]: similarly strained but in a more kind of like I fuck you, you know,
[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_03]: like not this like they're so mad at each other and you do not know why.
[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I know you kind of are told why, but like it doesn't make any sense.
[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And if Robert Dungeon was just allowed to be funny the whole time
[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_03]: and Duval was allowed to be funny or
[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_03]: and there was no cancer, guy get rid of the cancer.
[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Then the movie would be okay.
[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_01]: It's also that thing is something else.
[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And also way more of the did I fuck my daughter.
[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, way more.
[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_01]: So let's get to this.
[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_01]: He's doing the case and then he gets a call.
[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you get to call in the middle of the case his mother dies because
[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_03]: he's got a gun as trial.
[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, which would never happen.
[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_01]: It would never happen.
[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Never ever happened.
[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Never know.
[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that whole thing is weird.
[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_01]: He's so slick.
[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_01]: He's such a fucking snake or salesman.
[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_01]: He can charm anybody.
[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Even if they hate him, like God damn it, you got it your way goes back home to his daughter
[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_01]: in a he's divorce.
[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, he goes to his he or he's getting divorced.
[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_03]: He's made a Sarah Lynkester.
[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's like complaining that she's sad.
[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, but she hadn't affair or something like yeah,
[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_03]: she's not allowed to be particularly sympathetic.
[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Not just got to you.
[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm in the house as an unbelievable.
[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and he's like I'm taking like fucking daughter.
[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, like, and she's like, I'm sad.
[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_03]: You suck.
[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Your shitty work all the time or what?
[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, like we were getting a little more like wrote exposition.
[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Like this guy is kind of, you know, divorce from everything.
[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_01]: But his job.
[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_01]: But the immediate takeaway from the scene of him,
[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_01]: he and his ex wife interacting is both of them are garbage people.
[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, the terrible.
[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Both of them are piece of garbage human.
[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And they have this awful daughter.
[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_01]: They Jake Lloyd level performance.
[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_03]: You can see the dad reading the lines.
[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like she's supposed to be like percosious
[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_03]: and level headed or whatever.
[00:38:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And you just want to strangle her.
[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_03]: It's awful.
[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_01]: But big information revealed is that she did not know
[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_01]: that her grandfather was alive.
[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, right.
[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Going back home to his strength.
[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_03]: She's like, he's knee dead and he's like, no,
[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_03]: he's just dead to me.
[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_03]: He's dead to me.
[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so now he's from some poetown town in Indiana
[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_03]: where his dad is the local judge.
[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Who everyone calls?
[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_03]: The judge?
[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So he tried to literally just call him judge.
[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Like how you do a judge?
[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_01]: My name is judge.
[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't stop thinking about it.
[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, the whole day and I don't.
[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_01]: It would have been perfect.
[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, every time they open a magazine in the film,
[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_01]: my name is judge.
[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, he goes as town.
[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_01]: He's got a nice car.
[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_01]: He's like, oh, my god, damn.
[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Like he's making him much a snarky aside to himself
[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_01]: under his bath while he's driving through the town.
[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:38:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:38:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Back in hell.
[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Listen that.
[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Go to the home.
[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_03]: He gives him a model like everyone wants to leave.
[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_03]: No one wants to stay at that.
[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Whatever.
[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_03]: A funeral service.
[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_01]: His dad.
[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_01]: His mom is dead played by the legendary Bob Deval.
[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Is immediately very cold in it.
[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_01]: He's basically like, thanks for coming.
[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_03]: See you later.
[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, so how are you doing?
[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's got a two brother.
[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_03]: She's got a brother played by Jeremy Strong, who's like,
[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_03]: maybe a little slow.
[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_03]: He's always got a super-aid camera.
[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_01]: He seems a little touched.
[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_01]: He's got, uh, I'd say like a, like a forest gum brain man.
[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_03]: He maybe is some sort of it's completely unspecified.
[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Like there's no investment in like what's going on with him.
[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_03]: But he's like, he's a little funny.
[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And I would call it the term I'd like to point out
[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_01]: is convenient retardation.
[00:39:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just enough retardation to get weird things happening
[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_01]: on screen.
[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_01]: But also not too much that he's not functional.
[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And then you've got to do an operation.
[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I think gives the best performance in the film.
[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to counter that with a point.
[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to get to an assacant.
[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, fine.
[00:39:52] [SPEAKER_03]: But I think Dinoffrey is good as his kind of washed up fat,
[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_03]: former athlete of a brother who I think was maybe the golden boy,
[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_03]: but now he's.
[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And just feels like a sad broken man,
[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_01]: but with a really good big heart.
[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I guess so.
[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_01]: He's really not a character.
[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_01]: No, but he's trying to hold the family together.
[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_01]: They go this funeral, everything's tense.
[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_01]: A sidebar for Dinoffrey or here for a second
[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_01]: because the thing that you and I are both obsessed with,
[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I love all the other things.
[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_01]: So you're both love credits.
[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we love, because it's gas-lowest.
[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_01]: We get what bank billing, what ranking, who's above the title,
[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_01]: he gets separate title cards in the trailer.
[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_01]: All that stuff is fascinating to us.
[00:40:29] [SPEAKER_01]: We are obsessed with the and or the width.
[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_03]: With featuring.
[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, those things.
[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Because all those are intense negotiations
[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_01]: that go through to get those kinds of things.
[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And so we love breaking those down.
[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_01]: The judge has one of the most tragic occurrences that can happen
[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_01]: in the world of separate title cards and trailers.
[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_01]: The judge is really trying to present itself as an Oscar movie
[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_01]: in the trailer, in the trailer.
[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Academy Award nominee, Robert Denny Jr.,
[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_01]: show the shot of Robert Denny Jr.,
[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Academy Award nominee, Robert Dubo.
[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And they show him and he's not a winner.
[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Winner, winner.
[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Winner, one time.
[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Just the one-tender mercies.
[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he did it for the people.
[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_01]: He's looking stern.
[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Academy Award nominee, Vera for me.
[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_01]: He's smiling.
[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_01]: So half smart.
[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Vincent and off you go.
[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And Academy Award nominee winner, Winner, Billy Bob Thorpe.
[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So he's just sandwiched in there.
[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_03]: There are five names and he's the only one who gets nothing.
[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_03]: His title card looks so naked.
[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_03]: It's so sad.
[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_01]: They're so little taxed on it.
[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm his agent.
[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like no, take him out of the trailer.
[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I'd rather don't know him.
[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_01]: You're making him look shitty.
[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_01]: You couldn't even,
[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_01]: and he was a good actor.
[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_01]: It's great actor.
[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to put like Emmy nominee in there.
[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_03]: They don't even want to be a golden gloom nominee or something.
[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's not for law and order.
[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_01]: He must have some point.
[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_01]: But he's giving a great performance.
[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_01]: That's nice that they put him.
[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, no single title.
[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_01]: He's pretty good in it.
[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_01]: They go to the funeral.
[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Everything's kind of whatever.
[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Dad, he's acting erasable.
[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_01]: He gets in the car.
[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_01]: He drives up.
[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right.
[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_01]: To get a fight doesn't drink at that point or has he not had a drink?
[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_03]: No, he's not drinking.
[00:42:11] [SPEAKER_03]: But Downey saw him forget someone's name, his bailiff's name.
[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_03]: He encor and so Downey's like something up with him.
[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Interesting.
[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, we're told dovals characters are recovered.
[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Alcoholic he insists.
[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_03]: And so Downey thinks it might be drinking again.
[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_03]: And drives off in the car.
[00:42:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hm.
[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, and then he gets arrested for running someone over.
[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_01]: The next morning, they look.
[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_01]: The car has weird scratches on it.
[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_01]: We, let's let's let's let's the cop show up.
[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And they say your father, who drove this car last night?
[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And they go to me and they go, you hit a man.
[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you hit a man who you like have a personal history with.
[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_01]: He's like, what?
[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Downey's like, this is surely a mistake.
[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_01]: He's an old man.
[00:42:54] [SPEAKER_01]: It was an accident.
[00:42:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Why are you trying him for man slaughter?
[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And they said because the man he hit was Blinkety Blink.
[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Generic, Southern.
[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Jimmy?
[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Jimmy, John, John.
[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And this was a man who was stalking a woman.
[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_01]: The case came before it's evolved 20 years early in the years.
[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_01]: He was a union sentence.
[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a woman in the sentence.
[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't like that.
[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_01]: He proceeds to the second he gets out of jail.
[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_03]: He kills the woman.
[00:43:20] [SPEAKER_01]: He kills the woman.
[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_01]: He thinks her when he kills her.
[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And so he goes in for 20 years.
[00:43:24] [SPEAKER_03]: He just got out apparently.
[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's why I'll do running the fuck over.
[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Run some over.
[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Kills him.
[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_03]: This is an R rated movie by the way.
[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_03]: They say fuck a lot in this movie.
[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_03]: A lot.
[00:43:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_03]: A lot.
[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Nothing else.
[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_03]: There's no other R rated material in this movie.
[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_01]: They just take fuck a lot.
[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_01]: So here's the central dramatic crux of the judge.
[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't you, your nir is ready to leave.
[00:43:43] [SPEAKER_01]: There's nothing left for him in this town.
[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_01]: He's done his dude.
[00:43:47] [SPEAKER_01]: You guys with no one in the mud.
[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_03]: What the fuck is this?
[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_03]: He has to defend his dad, his grumpy old piece of shit dad.
[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And won't even admit that maybe he did run this guy over.
[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Because I did not.
[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Where were you that night?
[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember.
[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Why can't you remember?
[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_00]: He's a judge.
[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_00]: He's a judge.
[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_00]: He's the judge and now he has to go on track.
[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_00]: He knows how the law works.
[00:44:06] [SPEAKER_00]: And he's just being like, I don't know.
[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_01]: He hires Dax Shepherd.
[00:44:11] [SPEAKER_01]: My favorite character in the film, The Best Performance in the Film.
[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah.
[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_03]: He's all right.
[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you hated.
[00:44:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I hate it.
[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Really?
[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I like that.
[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_00]: But he, I guess he's doing what he came with the part.
[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_00]: The expert's character is like the local like, yeah.
[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_01]: He's like, yeah.
[00:44:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's not a DA.
[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_01]: He's just a lawyer.
[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_01]: But what's his day job?
[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_01]: He's like a pawn job.
[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_01]: He's like a pawn job.
[00:44:33] [SPEAKER_01]: He's got a little odd.
[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_03]: And he went to whatever Indiana community college.
[00:44:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, like, I don't know what it is.
[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_03]: But he is diploma might as well be from like King Cows or whatever.
[00:44:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Dead junior went to Harvard Law.
[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_01]: He went to Northwestern.
[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Northwestern.
[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_03]: It's actually like that.
[00:44:48] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a reasonably good school.
[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_03]: But it's not like he went to the West School in the country.
[00:44:51] [SPEAKER_03]: But it's a good law school.
[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_01]: He's always yelling as dad for nine and showing up in his graduation.
[00:44:54] [SPEAKER_01]: He was never there for him.
[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Which, like, by the way, yeah, like dick moved to fall show up for the graduation.
[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_01]: He's, I mean, you don't even have to talk to him.
[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Dax Shepherd's like, why do you want me?
[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Your sons in the room.
[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're so big.
[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Our fuchs.
[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I won't have just my son be the lawyer.
[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_03]: And he keeps talking about how like we just need like a good country boy.
[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you know, like a nice boy.
[00:45:15] [SPEAKER_03]: No, it's fancy city talk.
[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_04]: It's really, it's so fucking bad.
[00:45:18] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the worst.
[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_03]: He's another fancy city piece of like dramatic shorthand and play.
[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Every five minutes or some nonsense like that.
[00:45:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, so in city, hire a duck shepherd and whatever.
[00:45:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's just say the best character detail about him with a mouthful of bagel.
[00:45:34] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a man with such intense stage fright when it comes performing in court that he
[00:45:38] [SPEAKER_01]: vomits it extensively every time.
[00:45:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, sure.
[00:45:40] [SPEAKER_03]: He has to appear in court because I think Danny Jr is like, uh, it's because you, you know,
[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_03]: you feel like you have a life in your hand.
[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_03]: You still care about your clients.
[00:45:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't worry, it'll pass.
[00:45:49] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's like, I sure hope it doesn't pass.
[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, it's really a real cynic Mr. Downey.
[00:45:54] [SPEAKER_03]: He is for me the TC 14 of the job.
[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_03]: No, he's he's not.
[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_01]: He's the character I want to see the entire film.
[00:45:59] [SPEAKER_03]: No, no, it's an ophereous better.
[00:46:00] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm sick of him.
[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_03]: They both should have been nominated.
[00:46:02] [SPEAKER_03]: No, they should not have been nominated for anything.
[00:46:05] [SPEAKER_01]: We skipped over a huge, huge scene.
[00:46:07] [SPEAKER_01]: First night funeral three brothers are bummed out.
[00:46:10] [SPEAKER_01]: They go to a bar.
[00:46:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a hot young piece behind the bar.
[00:46:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Lating me sir in, I think Lating me sir's an okay actress.
[00:46:17] [SPEAKER_03]: But this is her worst work.
[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_03]: She has an accent like someone was like, this she it's like she asked someone like,
[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_03]: where's this movie set the south and someone was like huh?
[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And she's like great and does a southern accent for reasons I cannot decipher.
[00:46:31] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's like her research was just going to the country bear jamboree at Disney World 12 times.
[00:46:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, we here by her to come sing a song for you.
[00:46:39] [SPEAKER_01]: She's so bad.
[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_01]: She's so bad anyway.
[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she's like, oh, you boys are sure cute.
[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_01]: The bartender a bunch of broy guys come in
[00:46:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and they're trying to fucking start shit with her.
[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And down in junior talks the guys down.
[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_01]: He does some crazy like, oh yeah, he's like, but did it.
[00:46:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, you're gonna hit on her?
[00:46:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm a lawyer.
[00:46:55] [SPEAKER_03]: But you guys have priors in their all.
[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Whoa, this guy smart.
[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Like rapist at three o'clock.
[00:46:59] [SPEAKER_01]: He's making like pithy like comments like that.
[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_01]: He's essentially doing the fancy city talk.
[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sure he's a good guy.
[00:47:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And she immediately falls for it.
[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And there's like caught there's a time jump to him really making out
[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_01]: with Lating me sir in a phone book.
[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And the two brothers, the one who is conveniently retired at.
[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And did not feel hard a gold and no other character development
[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_01]: or like, out to his old tricks.
[00:47:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, can he say it the man as a way?
[00:47:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Whatever it is, right?
[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_01]: But none of them have ever seen this girl before seemingly.
[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_01]: They have no, no, they don't, they don't say anything.
[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's, well, right.
[00:47:32] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going this is gross.
[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's already gross.
[00:47:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Because down he's 50 and Lating me sir's like 24.
[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_01]: And she's playing even younger.
[00:47:39] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I mean, like, it's super gross.
[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's, you're like, I don't know if they fucked her.
[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_01]: They're just getting really handsy.
[00:47:44] [SPEAKER_01]: But either way, it's way too much.
[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't like it.
[00:47:46] Yeah.
[00:47:47] [SPEAKER_01]: At the funeral, the morning of he goes to a diner and who's there working there.
[00:47:53] [SPEAKER_01]: But his old flame.
[00:47:55] [SPEAKER_01]: His great, all his high school sweetie.
[00:47:56] [SPEAKER_01]: His high school sweetheart, who he left.
[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_01]: He didn't show up to the prom, right?
[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_01]: He left him right after never came back.
[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_01]: But she was the one.
[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_01]: She's still there.
[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, I'm surprised you're still here.
[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_03]: And so they're like, I'm surprised that that.
[00:48:07] [SPEAKER_03]: He laid away like a triple peroxideed.
[00:48:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Vera from me with like way too much eyeshadow where they're like,
[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's make her look trashy.
[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Like she's like, but good performance.
[00:48:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Solid.
[00:48:18] [SPEAKER_03]: No.
[00:48:18] [SPEAKER_03]: You don't love Vera from me, but she's terrible in this way.
[00:48:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's a solid performance.
[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think it's her.
[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_03]: No, she's bad.
[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it's her fault.
[00:48:24] [SPEAKER_03]: But they're catching up, right?
[00:48:26] [SPEAKER_03]: And then I think it's her fault.
[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's everyone's fault.
[00:48:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Everyone in this movie, it's a little bit their fault.
[00:48:31] [SPEAKER_03]: It's devolves fault.
[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's definitely down to his fault.
[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:48:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:48:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, going.
[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_01]: So those two pieces are set in place.
[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Right?
[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I love Vera from me.
[00:48:39] [SPEAKER_01]: He's got this hot side piece in town.
[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Right?
[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_01]: He's got the old flame.
[00:48:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so now he's still in town and he refuses to go back home because he's trying
[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_01]: to make sure he's down.
[00:48:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, out of some stubbornness.
[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess like, yeah, it's never really explored why he's like, you know what?
[00:48:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to stay even though apparently all he's ever done is get the hell out of his
[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_03]: town.
[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_03]: But it guess it makes sense.
[00:48:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So there's a lot of plots of all men in the first 30 minutes that we just set up.
[00:49:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And now the film introduces like one big wrinkle and the film just essentially goes
[00:49:05] [SPEAKER_01]: in circles.
[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you seeing the cancer is the big wrinkle?
[00:49:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Like a light can't hear, remember?
[00:49:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Is he drinking?
[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And then you realize now he has cancer.
[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_01]: It's his brain cancer, right?
[00:49:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[00:49:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's losing his memory.
[00:49:17] [SPEAKER_03]: He's having chemo, which is having could have the side effects he's losing his memory
[00:49:20] [SPEAKER_03]: loss.
[00:49:20] [SPEAKER_03]: He refuses to acknowledge it because then all of his trials for like the last six months
[00:49:24] [SPEAKER_03]: as you know when he was the judge.
[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_03]: longer.
[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:49:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Would be that maybe declared a mistrial cause he was impaired.
[00:49:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's this old fashioned man who goes, the legacy is the most important thing.
[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_01]: A man can have.
[00:49:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:49:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I do not want my legacy called into question.
[00:49:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to die.
[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_03]: He does.
[00:49:42] [SPEAKER_03]: I might as well die who cares if I die in jail, not in jail like I just want to.
[00:49:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I just want to be a good judge.
[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Never cared about being a good daddy just wants to be a good judge.
[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I really would almost prefer to see a movie where he is the judge.
[00:49:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, because you just see one brief where he's like he gives kind of a judge
[00:50:00] [SPEAKER_03]: duty type like you're going to sell your car back to that guy.
[00:50:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:50:03] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's the judge's rule.
[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_03]: The judge judge man.
[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_03]: You get like the judge judge.
[00:50:08] [SPEAKER_01]: You get like, oh this guy's a great judge.
[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_01]: He's like, oh tough wood fair.
[00:50:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I would go show up to watch him do what we want to see.
[00:50:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to be healthy and funny about this folks.
[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And fair.
[00:50:17] [SPEAKER_01]: He gives it kind of life less.
[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_01]: You can tell why the whole town would love him.
[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_03]: But then after that he doesn't get to be the judge.
[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_03]: He just gets to be cranky mean dad and like silent.
[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_03]: What's that?
[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_03]: A queused person.
[00:50:30] [SPEAKER_01]: A vain court.
[00:50:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Eventually, you know,
[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_03]: he like won't object Johnny Junior's like throwing legal heads at it.
[00:50:39] [SPEAKER_01]: He's throwing heads over shoulder with things to say.
[00:50:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Can Howard by the way, plays the judge in this movie?
[00:50:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I can have a bag after four months.
[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Or he still is the one.
[00:50:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's running for a real action.
[00:50:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I just read a deadline yesterday.
[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's not good either.
[00:50:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't like you in this movie.
[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Can Howard.
[00:50:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, and again, like you kind of wish he would have a little more fun with it.
[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_03]: But instead, it's just like objection and can Howard's like overrule.
[00:51:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Like there's no there's no chance to play around.
[00:51:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And this what this movie feels a little like to me.
[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead.
[00:51:09] [SPEAKER_01]: David Dopp, get a man with such crass base stupid ugly comedic instincts.
[00:51:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Really trying to prove that he's a serious rat.
[00:51:19] [SPEAKER_01]: He's dying to get too far back.
[00:51:21] [SPEAKER_01]: It feels like the way that 13 year old boys have to act during their brumets.
[00:51:26] [SPEAKER_01]: During the actual service in the Torah portion where they really have to put on the air.
[00:51:30] [SPEAKER_01]: So they are now a man.
[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And then the second, like the party they fucking take it off and they put a glow stick around their dick.
[00:51:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And they're dancing to fucking flow right at like, you know, it's like,
[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Did you get brumets?
[00:51:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know.
[00:51:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I never had a glow stick around my dick.
[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But you know what I'm saying?
[00:51:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like the kid.
[00:51:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like that's not a man.
[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a little boy.
[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_01]: He must be poking someone with him.
[00:51:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Then what's in a while someone pisses on someone shoes and you're like,
[00:51:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Right, Barry is the only one.
[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_01]: He wants to have Dex Shepherd vomit.
[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_01]: He wants to do this.
[00:51:54] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's like the,
[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Barments for kid.
[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I saw someone the most charismatic 13 year olds of my generation.
[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Get up on that stage and be so fucking boring.
[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Because they're, they're main objective is a B serious.
[00:52:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:52:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Look serious.
[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_01]: And like you're really thinking about what you're saying.
[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And so David Hopkins direction in the scenes where people are peeing or peaking.
[00:52:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Or shitting themselves.
[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_01]: This way is a ton of bodily fluid.
[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_01]: It's my favorite scene in the movie.
[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll get to you.
[00:52:24] [SPEAKER_01]: It is like him going like, but I'm a very serious film maker in this very serious movie.
[00:52:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Which makes it so difficult to watch.
[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, also it's really, really over long.
[00:52:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Like you, like you say everything's kind of set up in the first half hour 40 minutes.
[00:52:36] [SPEAKER_03]: So much of the first 30 minutes.
[00:52:37] [SPEAKER_03]: And then it just, it just doesn't go close.
[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_03]: You kind of want the movie I wanted is like all this set up and you're like,
[00:52:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Fine, and then give me a court case.
[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Give me an exciting court case.
[00:52:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Downey juniors, Lock and Horne's with Billy Bowdoin, who's playing this like,
[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Wise guy, really, really smart kind of quiet, like,
[00:52:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Shark of a guy, he's like the Southern Downey Jun.
[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_01]: But he has more out there.
[00:52:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's see the shark.
[00:53:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, let's see the match with doesn't happen.
[00:53:02] [SPEAKER_03]: There's almost no court stuff except for the worst scene in the movie,
[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_03]: which is the cross examination of Rob De Ball.
[00:53:08] [SPEAKER_03]: What do you think of those about Thorin's performance?
[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, he's kind of sleepwalking.
[00:53:11] [SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of a classic Billy Bowdoin where you're like,
[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I wish you, you know, he's one of the most talented actors of his generation.
[00:53:19] [SPEAKER_03]: But I don't know, I think he's kind of phoning it in.
[00:53:21] [SPEAKER_03]: At least he's not over the top.
[00:53:22] [SPEAKER_03]: He looks amazing.
[00:53:24] [SPEAKER_01]: His look at the songs in Cretel.
[00:53:25] [SPEAKER_01]: He's got a really, really, he's super slim.
[00:53:28] [SPEAKER_01]: He is.
[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_01]: He's kind of really skinny.
[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_01]: He's got really skinny.
[00:53:32] [SPEAKER_01]: He's got his grave wagon.
[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_01]: A firm a grave.
[00:53:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a go-t.
[00:53:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[00:53:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And like a, like, a really sharp, like, three piece suit.
[00:53:41] [SPEAKER_00]: He just looks at he looks at the shark.
[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but he doesn't do anything in this movie.
[00:53:45] [SPEAKER_01]: He hasn't.
[00:53:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a terrible character.
[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_01]: It's underrated.
[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_01]: So down to your head becomes part of the case and he's trying to prove it.
[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just whole about what he wants the dad to admit if he says that he is undergone
[00:53:53] [SPEAKER_01]: chemo.
[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Then he basically wins because.
[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:53:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's got a very good temperament.
[00:53:57] [SPEAKER_01]: But this and that.
[00:53:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And then we just back and forth arguments about this.
[00:54:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And while they're back home, and he's going, why were you never there for me?
[00:54:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Why are you this?
[00:54:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And the dad goes, why are you just supporting me?
[00:54:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Why do you still suck the brother?
[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Go ahead.
[00:54:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Has obsessively over his life as well as the ending.
[00:54:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Magical little tick.
[00:54:14] [SPEAKER_01]: He's got super-a-camera.
[00:54:15] [SPEAKER_01]: He films everything.
[00:54:16] [SPEAKER_01]: He's constantly filming everything.
[00:54:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I go, put that damn camera down.
[00:54:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And down to your hands like your camera is fine.
[00:54:20] [SPEAKER_01]: But the dad hates the camera.
[00:54:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And so while they're fighting about things that happened in the past, sometimes the
[00:54:25] [SPEAKER_01]: other sets up a projector and plays home videos.
[00:54:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Eight millimeter films.
[00:54:30] [SPEAKER_01]: So fucking annoying.
[00:54:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And so they're like fighting about something and projected onto their shirts and the background
[00:54:35] [SPEAKER_01]: behind them is like video of them in younger days.
[00:54:38] [SPEAKER_03]: And like running around with your boy hats on.
[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_03]: It's also this movie set in 2014.
[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, 2014.
[00:54:44] [SPEAKER_03]: So down in junior when he was like, well I guess what was it that's 70s?
[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess it's like because it's like, it's been like, he grew up in like 1948.
[00:54:51] [SPEAKER_01]: All the ages in this movie are fucked up too.
[00:54:53] [SPEAKER_01]: It's about they say it one point is like 72.
[00:54:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Like he's playing like 10 years younger than he really is.
[00:54:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And then he drew your kind of his as well.
[00:55:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Dendier's character should be like 40.
[00:55:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and the ball is a small 70.
[00:55:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Dendier's character should be 40 at the most.
[00:55:09] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's 50 and evolves like 82.
[00:55:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And Dival has like no hair left on his head but they die it brown to make him look a little younger.
[00:55:17] [SPEAKER_01]: So he's got these like whispers that are slick back just on the sides and they die like a deep brown.
[00:55:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's like, oh you're right. That makes him look 70 instead of 80.
[00:55:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Well he's in Keeva too.
[00:55:27] [SPEAKER_01]: So he's gonna die those whispers.
[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's like he's in old men just let him play an old man.
[00:55:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But I really think, you know, Dival and Dendier had done a couple films together.
[00:55:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Have they? What's their, this was a trivia question.
[00:55:41] [SPEAKER_01]: The trivia that we used to go into is the gingerbread man.
[00:55:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:55:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And lucky you were the Curtis Hansen poker movie.
[00:55:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I've never seen them.
[00:55:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Neither of us.
[00:55:49] [SPEAKER_01]: We're terribly.
[00:55:50] [SPEAKER_03]: He's a dummy juniors and lucky you.
[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm credited, I believe.
[00:55:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay. Yes he is.
[00:55:54] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[00:55:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Dival got the end on that film.
[00:55:56] [SPEAKER_01]: It's Eric Vanager, Barrymore and Robert Dval and Dendier's on credit.
[00:56:02] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, telephone jack, please.
[00:56:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:56:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:56:06] [SPEAKER_01]: So clearly the two have some sort of admiration for each other.
[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I think a big impetus in this film.
[00:56:11] [SPEAKER_01]: In doing this film for him was this is a great part for Dval.
[00:56:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to do a film with Dval.
[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I have my own father issues.
[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm fighting with all this stuff.
[00:56:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And over the course of the film, it is revealed that the reason there's so much
[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_01]: resentment is that down he drew your head as a young man.
[00:56:28] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a virious.
[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a virious.
[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a virious.
[00:56:30] [SPEAKER_03]: He's high and he's in a car accident where he's driving, I guess.
[00:56:35] [SPEAKER_03]: And Dino Frillo is in the car and he like breaks his hand or something.
[00:56:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And that means he can't be like a pro ball player, which is all Robert Dval
[00:56:41] [SPEAKER_03]: wanted for him.
[00:56:42] [SPEAKER_03]: It just like he want through the movie out the window.
[00:56:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And now he's so hack me.
[00:56:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Now he's fattened set.
[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:56:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Everything in the ring casting poured enough for you.
[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we need to go ahead.
[00:56:51] [SPEAKER_01]: But you're saying everything so hack.
[00:56:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Like there's literally a moment in this film where the two of them get in a fight
[00:56:57] [SPEAKER_01]: and then storm out of a car.
[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_01]: They can't do all of each other anymore.
[00:57:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:57:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And they cut to a wide shot of the two of them walking in opposite directions.
[00:57:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[00:57:05] [SPEAKER_01]: On like the road.
[00:57:06] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like a big wide shot and it's just like, oh, these men walk different paths
[00:57:10] [SPEAKER_01]: in life.
[00:57:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Like every there's so much like fucking heavy handed.
[00:57:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Like visual symbolism of like, I mean literally projecting flashbacks onto their bodies.
[00:57:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, no, I know.
[00:57:21] [SPEAKER_03]: And also then that scene where it's like the camera, the super, you know, the, you know,
[00:57:26] [SPEAKER_03]: starts playing and they're like, oh, turn out.
[00:57:27] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, no, leave it on and they watch it.
[00:57:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, oh, we were so cute.
[00:57:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And then there's footage of like the car, the total car and all this stuff.
[00:57:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like the total, turn out to be like, turn out to be like,
[00:57:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Turn out to be like, fuck it off.
[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, oh my god.
[00:57:39] [SPEAKER_01]: It makes, uh, no sense.
[00:57:42] [SPEAKER_03]: No, it's in also we already know.
[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_03]: About that two-volts mad at Robert Downey Jr. for this car accident.
[00:57:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Like we get, we need another scene where it's literally projected and Robert Downey Jr. starts.
[00:57:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, sorry, do ball starts screaming like, fast forward it.
[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_04]: And he's like, I can't, it's failed.
[00:57:56] [SPEAKER_04]: My kid fast forward.
[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_04]: He's like, turn the fucking crank if he has to.
[00:58:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, they're fucking crank.
[00:58:02] [SPEAKER_01]: That's so bad.
[00:58:03] [SPEAKER_01]: So there are a relation because we're somewhere else.
[00:58:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And devils help the clients more and more.
[00:58:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:58:07] [SPEAKER_01]: My favorite scene in the movie is.
[00:58:10] [SPEAKER_01]: The designer goes upstairs.
[00:58:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And he shit all over himself.
[00:58:14] [SPEAKER_01]: The great Bob Devalley shit.
[00:58:15] [SPEAKER_01]: All over himself.
[00:58:15] [SPEAKER_01]: The great Bob Devalley.
[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_01]: You don't really see it.
[00:58:17] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not.
[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I would disagree.
[00:58:19] [SPEAKER_01]: You think so?
[00:58:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, there's one key shot I will never forget.
[00:58:23] [SPEAKER_01]: There's one image that is permanently burned into my mind.
[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_01]: But devalley in arguably one of the finest actors ever to live.
[00:58:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I agree.
[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, as shit himself and he's like,
[00:58:33] [SPEAKER_01]: pudging around,
[00:58:34] [SPEAKER_01]: a danger is like, it's fine.
[00:58:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Let me take care of you.
[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And he like sort of pulls his pants in his underwear down.
[00:58:39] [SPEAKER_01]: You see the pants are totally stained with shit.
[00:58:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I guess.
[00:58:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And then he takes the shower head.
[00:58:43] [SPEAKER_01]: There's like one of those like candle shower heads.
[00:58:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:58:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And he starts like hoesing him down and they're very,
[00:58:47] [SPEAKER_01]: there's a very clear shot of Robert Devalley's wrinkly old man legs.
[00:58:53] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like the shot is like from like his lower side.
[00:58:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I get you.
[00:58:56] [SPEAKER_01]: To his feet and you see the drain of the bathtub.
[00:58:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's just hoesing him down and you just he shit running down his legs down the drain.
[00:59:03] [SPEAKER_01]: The great Bob Devalley.
[00:59:04] [SPEAKER_03]: And they're in the shower together for a while.
[00:59:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And he goes as naked and like, you know, again,
[00:59:09] [SPEAKER_01]: he's like, you know,
[00:59:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I got to be.
[00:59:11] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like you Bobby and like I'm glad you want,
[00:59:14] [SPEAKER_03]: you know, each that thing were like in a good movie.
[00:59:16] [SPEAKER_03]: This would be like a really tough to watch kind of like difficult
[00:59:20] [SPEAKER_03]: a brave moment like, oh God, look at do well.
[00:59:23] [SPEAKER_03]: He looks terrible.
[00:59:24] [SPEAKER_01]: You can tell they think that's what it is.
[00:59:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:59:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes you gotta take a real risk and do a scene that's too tough for people.
[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_03]: But then they undercut it by having the daughter be outside the bathroom like knocking me.
[00:59:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, can I come in?
[00:59:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Can I help?
[00:59:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And they're like, no, you can't come in.
[00:59:35] [SPEAKER_03]: You fuck off like,
[00:59:36] [SPEAKER_01]: you know, you don't want to turn into like a dumb gay panic thing.
[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Like it almost turns into like a fucking little fucker scene.
[00:59:41] [SPEAKER_01]: We're like, they're naked together at a bathtub and it's like, oh no,
[00:59:44] [SPEAKER_01]: what's she gonna think?
[00:59:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just go away and she's like,
[00:59:48] [SPEAKER_03]: oh, I want to help.
[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't remember what it is.
[00:59:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Because the daughter comes to visit and the grandpa's really nice.
[00:59:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, the daughter comes to visit and she's like, no,
[00:59:55] [SPEAKER_03]: don't be mad or don't be freaked out just because my grandma's
[00:59:59] [SPEAKER_03]: just gone in pause so scary.
[01:00:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't worry about it.
[01:00:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, you know, and then of course, yeah, he's really nice for it.
[01:00:05] [SPEAKER_03]: He's a huge, he's huge.
[01:00:06] [SPEAKER_01]: He likes everyone else.
[01:00:07] [SPEAKER_01]: He only hits times junior and there's a dumb speech at the hammer.
[01:00:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, hey, it's just because you had the most potential.
[01:00:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't watch this in that, right?
[01:00:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Now, here's a sub-lot that we've been burying.
[01:00:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[01:00:19] [SPEAKER_01]: We set up the two women.
[01:00:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're a vegan mester.
[01:00:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Then there's the scene where Downey Jr.
[01:00:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Is it when they walk away from the car?
[01:00:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's somewhere around there.
[01:00:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Or a similar his bike, the bike goes down.
[01:00:31] [SPEAKER_01]: He starts wearing his old black Sabbathe shirt on the bike and he takes his hands off
[01:00:34] [SPEAKER_01]: and he raises them up in the air.
[01:00:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, whoa, look at all these, you know, garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage.
[01:00:41] [SPEAKER_01]: One of those scenes where he's on the side of the road for some reason happens a lot
[01:00:45] [SPEAKER_01]: in this film, a car pulls out and it's like, oh, need a ride.
[01:00:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[01:00:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's Vera for me, you go.
[01:00:50] [SPEAKER_01]: And he gets in and she goes, hey, have you met my daughter?
[01:00:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's fucking late mester.
[01:00:59] [SPEAKER_03]: So I've already a little gross.
[01:01:00] [SPEAKER_03]: She'll be like, oh, weird.
[01:01:02] [SPEAKER_03]: He's making out with his sweetheart's daughter.
[01:01:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, that's, and then he starts to investigate the timeline.
[01:01:08] [SPEAKER_01]: When were you born exactly?
[01:01:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, that was eight months after I left town.
[01:01:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like nine months after prom night, like, to be exact.
[01:01:16] [SPEAKER_01]: When I left and then never came back and never contacted you ever again.
[01:01:22] [SPEAKER_01]: So he starts freaking out that he fucked his daughter.
[01:01:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[01:01:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Although he just has made out with because he even vocalizes a one point.
[01:01:29] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what your daughter?
[01:01:30] [SPEAKER_03]: We don't know that they had sex.
[01:01:31] [SPEAKER_03]: They definitely made out.
[01:01:32] [SPEAKER_01]: It was very handsy.
[01:01:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[01:01:33] [SPEAKER_01]: They're in a phone booth and he's fucking feeling you're not.
[01:01:35] [SPEAKER_03]: No, no, I got you.
[01:01:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's got pussy figures.
[01:01:40] [SPEAKER_03]: It's good to be well.
[01:01:41] [SPEAKER_03]: But it's kind of, it's kind of dropped.
[01:01:43] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, like they don't really, it's one, I mean, again,
[01:01:46] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's this weird mix of like, like you say,
[01:01:49] [SPEAKER_03]: stately Oscar Bady,
[01:01:51] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah, prestige.
[01:01:52] [SPEAKER_03]: And then that, that dobbkin,
[01:01:55] [SPEAKER_03]: shit charm where he's like, what if you fucked your daughter by mistake?
[01:01:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Whoa!
[01:02:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Because this plot line is exclusively played for laughs.
[01:02:04] [SPEAKER_03]: It is, and it's exclusively played for Downey to do his classic, like,
[01:02:08] [SPEAKER_03]: um, that's what I am.
[01:02:09] [SPEAKER_01]: He's trying to ask the questions around it's like nervous,
[01:02:12] [SPEAKER_01]: like comedy of manners.
[01:02:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Like one question.
[01:02:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, what kind of jeans do you think she has?
[01:02:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Like it's a, that kind of like, like,
[01:02:21] [SPEAKER_01]: it's all played like that.
[01:02:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, ultimately it's revealed that she's been sent to an Afrios
[01:02:26] [SPEAKER_03]: and a lot of people are not in the middle of the night.
[01:02:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that is high school sweetheart.
[01:02:29] [SPEAKER_01]: So he didn't fucking fucking fucking fuck this thing.
[01:02:31] [SPEAKER_01]: He fucked his face.
[01:02:32] [SPEAKER_01]: He fucked his face.
[01:02:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And then we treat it like a lot of success.
[01:02:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're like, f**k.
[01:02:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Not all my brother slept with my girlfriend
[01:02:39] [SPEAKER_01]: who I was in love with at the time before I heard him broke her arm.
[01:02:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And he dumped her arm.
[01:02:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And also I'm even fucked on me.
[01:02:45] [SPEAKER_03]: And then that's it.
[01:02:46] [SPEAKER_03]: That's not, doesn't come up.
[01:02:47] [SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't even, how does this move even in?
[01:02:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Is he going to move back or not?
[01:02:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's, it's, I haven't implied that he's going to move back in town, right?
[01:02:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[01:02:58] [SPEAKER_03]: With his daughter.
[01:02:59] [SPEAKER_03]: The dad ends up, he gets a convicted man slaughter.
[01:03:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Because we used to confess she had a fan.
[01:03:05] [SPEAKER_03]: There's this horrible scene where, yeah, he's cross examined.
[01:03:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[01:03:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I hated the scene.
[01:03:11] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, you know what reminded me most of the scene in Big Daddy
[01:03:14] [SPEAKER_03]: where Adam Sandler tells his dad how much he loved him on the stand during.
[01:03:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[01:03:20] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what I'm talking about?
[01:03:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I love that scene.
[01:03:22] [SPEAKER_03]: It's, it works in Big Daddy.
[01:03:23] [SPEAKER_03]: It works in Big Daddy.
[01:03:24] [SPEAKER_03]: It works in Big Daddy.
[01:03:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because Big Daddy's a rival comedy.
[01:03:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Big Daddy's so awful.
[01:03:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway.
[01:03:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, yeah.
[01:03:31] [SPEAKER_03]: So to scene where,
[01:03:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Downey, Cross Xames is Dex, he said it's like only guilty people don't take the stand and, you know,
[01:03:37] [SPEAKER_03]: he asks him some basic questions.
[01:03:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Billy Bob Thornton asks him some questions.
[01:03:40] [SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of going nowhere in the dub rubble to be just confesses on the stand.
[01:03:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think I hit him.
[01:03:45] [SPEAKER_01]: You're forgetting what the plot point is.
[01:03:46] [SPEAKER_01]: How he gets it out of him.
[01:03:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Go ahead.
[01:03:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And your memory is intact if you've been experiencing chemo.
[01:03:52] [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no.
[01:03:53] [SPEAKER_01]: My memory is perfect.
[01:03:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Just in that.
[01:03:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Let me ask you a question.
[01:03:56] [SPEAKER_01]: What's the name of your bail?
[01:03:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, right.
[01:03:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, then the first scene.
[01:04:00] [SPEAKER_01]: The bailiff who he's had it aside for like 30 years.
[01:04:02] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like his old friend, the bailiff.
[01:04:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[01:04:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[01:04:05] [SPEAKER_03]: And when he's, can't remember the bailiff.
[01:04:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[01:04:08] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like open and shut.
[01:04:09] [SPEAKER_01]: This guy has a fucking faulty memory.
[01:04:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[01:04:11] [SPEAKER_01]: They still can victim.
[01:04:12] [SPEAKER_03]: No, but you, then you forget.
[01:04:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Then there's 20 minutes in it.
[01:04:14] [SPEAKER_03]: You're not logging to each other of like, why did you
[01:04:17] [SPEAKER_03]: convict this guy?
[01:04:18] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, why did you let him off easy the first
[01:04:20] [SPEAKER_03]: you reminded me of you?
[01:04:21] [SPEAKER_03]: You reminded me of you.
[01:04:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I wanted to give him a second.
[01:04:22] [SPEAKER_01]: He was a trouble kid.
[01:04:24] [SPEAKER_01]: And then after I saw what he did to that girl,
[01:04:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I became tough on you because I wouldn't let you become this.
[01:04:30] [SPEAKER_03]: It's, by the way, I just want to say this movie is a lot worse than Star Wars
[01:04:33] [SPEAKER_03]: episode one of Phantom Men's Last Element.
[01:04:35] [SPEAKER_03]: No, because yeah, it's just they're just reading out like their character motivations.
[01:04:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's, it's horribly acted, especially on the devolence part.
[01:04:44] [SPEAKER_03]: And you know what this movie doesn't have anyway.
[01:04:46] [SPEAKER_03]: He gets manslaughter.
[01:04:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Any of it all?
[01:04:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Space ships.
[01:04:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Very true.
[01:04:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Where are the spaceship?
[01:04:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Which, like we were burned out on Phantom Men's by the end,
[01:04:54] [SPEAKER_01]: but you watch something at the jar a judge and you go, like,
[01:04:56] [SPEAKER_01]: well, any movie of space ships is kind of cool.
[01:04:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[01:04:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that kind of cool?
[01:04:59] [SPEAKER_03]: It is, it's true.
[01:05:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Even if it was this whole movie just set on a spaceship,
[01:05:03] [SPEAKER_03]: it'd be a little better.
[01:05:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I love smarter, adult drama.
[01:05:05] [SPEAKER_01]: No, yeah, sure.
[01:05:06] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm a little bit dumb adult drama.
[01:05:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[01:05:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Which I hate.
[01:05:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd rather take a dumb spaceship movie than a dumb adult drama.
[01:05:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, to Vogue, it's manslaughter four years in the slamer
[01:05:15] [SPEAKER_03]: after seven months.
[01:05:17] [SPEAKER_01]: He admits that he did it consciously.
[01:05:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, whatever.
[01:05:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Downey Jr.
[01:05:21] [SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't matter.
[01:05:21] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what he does?
[01:05:22] [SPEAKER_03]: You don't really care because the movie is like,
[01:05:23] [SPEAKER_03]: the guy killed his piece of shit anyway.
[01:05:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't worry about it.
[01:05:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, Grace Abrisky has this weird performance in the background
[01:05:30] [SPEAKER_03]: as the dead guy's mother.
[01:05:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[01:05:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Where she's kind of like undercut is like this, like,
[01:05:36] [SPEAKER_03]: manipulative lying scumbags.
[01:05:38] [SPEAKER_03]: She's like, I wasn't in him all the time and person rubbed on.
[01:05:40] [SPEAKER_03]: He was like, you visited him twice in 20 years.
[01:05:43] [SPEAKER_03]: So you could shut up, briefed mother of the deceased.
[01:05:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Fair weathered friend.
[01:05:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, yeah, I devolved up to prison after seven months.
[01:05:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Downey springs him, I guess, for a fishing trip.
[01:05:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Even though he's in prison,
[01:05:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was used being released early for even after seven months.
[01:05:57] [SPEAKER_03]: That's pretty good behavior.
[01:05:59] [SPEAKER_01]: They really good behavior.
[01:06:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, he's a judge.
[01:06:00] [SPEAKER_01]: He told other people that give him folks a lesson.
[01:06:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe it's because he is literally dying against.
[01:06:04] [SPEAKER_03]: He looks terrible.
[01:06:05] [SPEAKER_03]: He's all like purple.
[01:06:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[01:06:07] [SPEAKER_01]: They do some awful makeup on.
[01:06:08] [SPEAKER_03]: And then they take a fishing trip and he dies during the fishing trip.
[01:06:12] [SPEAKER_03]: And does he say I love you?
[01:06:13] [SPEAKER_03]: He's a nice, right?
[01:06:14] [SPEAKER_03]: They have a nice little kind.
[01:06:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I really wish that the movie ended with that.
[01:06:17] [SPEAKER_03]: You just can't do ball into the lake.
[01:06:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's dead by boom anyway.
[01:06:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Final moment.
[01:06:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he says whatever his thing is like, you know,
[01:06:25] [SPEAKER_01]: judge judge,
[01:06:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I keep the flag up and I want them to keep the flag up.
[01:06:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And they put the flag up.
[01:06:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's like, oh, great.
[01:06:31] [SPEAKER_01]: They go the funeral on the final moment of the film is.
[01:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Downey's going to walk through the courthouse.
[01:06:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he's like a sacred place.
[01:06:37] [SPEAKER_00]: This is what dad was.
[01:06:38] [SPEAKER_01]: He's just finally understood who his dad was.
[01:06:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And he sort of gets up there in the box and he starts spinning around the chair.
[01:06:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And the chair keeps on spinning around and he's sort of looking at it.
[01:06:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's the foul shot is like,
[01:06:49] [SPEAKER_01]: is he going to move back here?
[01:06:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Is he going to become the judge?
[01:06:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Who cares?
[01:06:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Who cares?
[01:06:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, okay.
[01:06:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Question.
[01:06:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you think they were trying to set up a sequel?
[01:06:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, judge, too.
[01:06:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Judge Jr.
[01:07:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, sure, our TV show.
[01:07:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I would totally watch a TV show about Robert Danny Jr.
[01:07:07] [SPEAKER_03]: is an arasable small town judge.
[01:07:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I would, too.
[01:07:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I like if his career had not taken off again.
[01:07:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, like, yeah, you know, I would also watch a season of a TV show in
[01:07:17] [SPEAKER_01]: which Robert Andrew and played a hot shot lawyer.
[01:07:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's season is called Al McBiel.
[01:07:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Season 4.
[01:07:21] [SPEAKER_01]: That's true.
[01:07:21] [SPEAKER_01]: You can just watch it.
[01:07:23] [SPEAKER_03]: He's very slick and he's funny and he doesn't play a piece of garbage.
[01:07:26] [SPEAKER_03]: And there's one episode that's a musical.
[01:07:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And you get to see him sing and he's a great singer.
[01:07:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It's great singing.
[01:07:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Really, it's a couple albums of jazz.
[01:07:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Just the one, but it's pretty good.
[01:07:33] [SPEAKER_03]: It's called a modern, a future interest.
[01:07:35] [SPEAKER_03]: The future.
[01:07:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, Robert Danny Jr. in this movie, thoughts.
[01:07:42] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, you're saying he was going for the Oscar.
[01:07:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, sure he is phoning this in.
[01:07:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I disagree.
[01:07:48] [SPEAKER_03]: You think he's going for it?
[01:07:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's really going for it.
[01:07:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's really going for it.
[01:07:51] [SPEAKER_01]: He's just kind of doing his stick.
[01:07:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's so easy for him.
[01:07:56] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing.
[01:07:57] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, I think he's working really hard, but there's a thing of like,
[01:08:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I think artists always need to try for a little bit above what they've done before.
[01:08:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I think every single project you do in any fucking medium, whatever you're doing.
[01:08:11] [SPEAKER_01]: If you've done something well before, you get lazy.
[01:08:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So why so many sequels are shitty because the director goes,
[01:08:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I've made this one so I know how to do it again.
[01:08:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I can repeat it.
[01:08:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And even if they think they're really, they put their heart in it.
[01:08:21] [SPEAKER_01]: They're working really hard.
[01:08:22] [SPEAKER_01]: There's that tension that comes from when there's something at stake.
[01:08:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I've never tried something like this before, something at this scale before or whatever it is.
[01:08:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And died Jr.
[01:08:31] [SPEAKER_01]: It syncs up with those comments in that interview where he's like me winning an Oscar.
[01:08:34] [SPEAKER_01]: It's inevitable.
[01:08:34] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a matter of time I'm going to get the part.
[01:08:36] [SPEAKER_01]: So he just read this script and went, oh, this is a part I can kill.
[01:08:39] [SPEAKER_01]: This is an Oscar movie.
[01:08:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Weird thing though, not really.
[01:08:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean you'll get the last 15 years of Oscars.
[01:08:46] [SPEAKER_01]: You may don't reward this kind of stuff.
[01:08:47] [SPEAKER_01]: No, and even the best picture winners that the last whatever years are like,
[01:08:51] [SPEAKER_01]: the artist and the heart locker and like, no country for all men.
[01:08:55] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I mean, some good some bad, but they're not really like this.
[01:08:59] [SPEAKER_01]: The last sort of like very sort of mannered.
[01:09:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Beautiful mind.
[01:09:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I'd say King speech falls into the two.
[01:09:07] [SPEAKER_01]: But that's the British Tony thing.
[01:09:09] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, and people mind is like biopic.
[01:09:12] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like historic figure.
[01:09:13] [SPEAKER_01]: There hasn't been a movie like The Judge that's really sweet the Oscars in a long time.
[01:09:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And what I find interesting about it is it's specifically the kind of shitty Oscar movie
[01:09:21] [SPEAKER_01]: that was getting attention and like slam dunk nominations for shitty performances
[01:09:26] [SPEAKER_01]: for Downey Jr.
[01:09:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Contemporaries at the time that he was spiraling out of control.
[01:09:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Fair enough.
[01:09:30] [SPEAKER_01]: In the 90s, when he was failing to make good on the promise he had as a movie star,
[01:09:35] [SPEAKER_03]: he was seeing like these were the prestige movies.
[01:09:37] [SPEAKER_03]: These not, yeah, I know what you're saying.
[01:09:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, the movie kind of looks like a civil action, which Robert Delo all was nominated for.
[01:09:46] [SPEAKER_03]: She's fantastic.
[01:09:47] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not a great movie with revolta.
[01:09:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Another really well-comred, I'll shot it.
[01:09:53] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a really good looking movie.
[01:09:54] [SPEAKER_03]: But what I feel is like he's like, oh, the fucking, I want to make it edzy.
[01:09:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Or Steve Zale and I like it.
[01:09:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this is the problem with this movie.
[01:10:01] [SPEAKER_03]: It is too shitty.
[01:10:02] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's like a stately legal drama and an annoying like my dad doesn't love me drama.
[01:10:07] [SPEAKER_03]: If he's working through his issues, like in this performance, he might be.
[01:10:11] [SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't really show because he kind of just keeps up the Downey Jr.
[01:10:15] [SPEAKER_03]: forse to be all the time, like the kind of charming even when he's mad.
[01:10:18] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, you're such a fucking bad dad and he punches thing.
[01:10:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Like, you know, he's still doing...
[01:10:22] [SPEAKER_03]: He's also such a beautiful music there.
[01:10:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he doesn't lose it.
[01:10:25] [SPEAKER_01]: He's such an unlikeable character.
[01:10:26] [SPEAKER_01]: This is one moment in that scene where he gets kind of real.
[01:10:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I remember like, it's saying that for like five seconds being like, oh, that feels a little real.
[01:10:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And a little overall, but literally five seconds within two hours and twenty-five minutes of a fucking movie.
[01:10:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Now we shouldn't say Duval was nominated for an Oscar.
[01:10:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Which is bananas.
[01:10:40] [SPEAKER_03]: It is crazy because I mean, I think they just were like, oh sure.
[01:10:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Because he's just...
[01:10:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Tell the audience what I'm doing.
[01:10:45] [SPEAKER_03]: He's pointing to a banana.
[01:10:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I hauling up a banana because it's bananas.
[01:10:48] [SPEAKER_03]: It is bananas.
[01:10:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it really felt like just some kind of default, like, sure.
[01:10:54] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, the veteran gets it.
[01:10:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, why not?
[01:10:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And he's nominated with Edward Noron for Birdman.
[01:11:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
[01:11:01] [SPEAKER_01]: One of his finest performances in a movie I hate, but a great performance.
[01:11:04] [SPEAKER_01]: A great performance.
[01:11:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Ethan Hawke in Boyhood.
[01:11:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Probably his best work ever.
[01:11:07] [SPEAKER_01]: So good in that movie.
[01:11:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Mark Ruffalo in Box Catcher.
[01:11:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, just one of the best actors incredible in that.
[01:11:13] [SPEAKER_01]: But also great in everything.
[01:11:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And J.K. Simmons who won Bird with Blash.
[01:11:17] [SPEAKER_01]: The performance of a lifetime.
[01:11:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And one of the most iconic performances of the last tab.
[01:11:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
[01:11:20] [SPEAKER_01]: And then the judge.
[01:11:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And Lujia.
[01:11:23] [SPEAKER_01]: And I can't...
[01:11:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, my memory is lapsing me after fucking like eight months of us obsessively hand-to-cap in these things to each other.
[01:11:29] [SPEAKER_01]: They were like, they were other people who were sort of like in the running.
[01:11:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Were worthy who were in films that were seen and were recognized.
[01:11:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, all of that is so annoying.
[01:11:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And there's sort of the argument of like, well, it's just a ball they noun in for everything.
[01:11:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Sival action was previously his last nomination.
[01:11:48] [SPEAKER_01]: There was almost 20 years.
[01:11:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Is that right?
[01:11:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Sival action was, previously his last nomination.
[01:11:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And this was 2000.
[01:11:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Isn't the apostle in between those?
[01:11:54] [SPEAKER_03]: He's really good.
[01:11:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I believe the apostle is before.
[01:11:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Is it Netsphere?
[01:11:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I think Sival action was his last one.
[01:11:58] [SPEAKER_03]: No, he's fantastic and his open range.
[01:12:00] [SPEAKER_03]: He's so good in that.
[01:12:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, get low.
[01:12:03] [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people thought he was close to getting an nominee.
[01:12:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, and that's more of a classic kind of grumpy right do-vol.
[01:12:09] [SPEAKER_03]: But my point is, he makes so many bad moves.
[01:12:10] [SPEAKER_03]: You're right.
[01:12:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Sival action 98.
[01:12:12] [SPEAKER_03]: And the apostle in 97, which he is so good in.
[01:12:14] [SPEAKER_03]: He directed that film.
[01:12:16] [SPEAKER_03]: That's a terrific film.
[01:12:16] [SPEAKER_03]: No one talks about it anymore.
[01:12:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a valsgrade.
[01:12:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's one of the finest actors of all time.
[01:12:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
[01:12:21] [SPEAKER_01]: He has one of them.
[01:12:21] [SPEAKER_03]: It makes a lot of shitty movies, that's it.
[01:12:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but it's so, I'd be fucking didn't know what to do.
[01:12:25] [SPEAKER_01]: But she knows whatever.
[01:12:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying like, you know, he's happy to vote in.
[01:12:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, but here's the thing.
[01:12:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I think Devol phoning it in is better than a lot of his contemporaries because we like to watch him yell.
[01:12:36] [SPEAKER_03]: We like to watch Duval be like grumpy old Duval.
[01:12:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's always doing this.
[01:12:40] [SPEAKER_01]: So naturalistic.
[01:12:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[01:12:42] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, so small but so emotionally deep.
[01:12:44] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a real while of feeling within him, whether he's yelling or he's sad, he's broken,
[01:12:48] [SPEAKER_01]: he's angry, whatever it is.
[01:12:50] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a very engaging screen presence.
[01:12:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[01:12:53] [SPEAKER_01]: De Niro when he's phoning it in really asleep walking.
[01:12:55] [SPEAKER_01]: That's true.
[01:12:55] [SPEAKER_01]: But she know when he's phoning it in is just yelling.
[01:12:57] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, to talk about two of the other guys who came up around the same time as him is sort of this new wave of a method.
[01:13:02] [SPEAKER_01]: The godfather, boys.
[01:13:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Godfather, boys.
[01:13:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Godfather, boys.
[01:13:06] [SPEAKER_03]: He's also good in the guff.
[01:13:08] [SPEAKER_01]: But yes, oh, oh, I'd time Haygan is one of my fair characters ever.
[01:13:11] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's so restrained in those moments.
[01:13:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So restrained.
[01:13:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this beautiful, beautiful work.
[01:13:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And he only didn't win because the other godfather people won.
[01:13:19] [SPEAKER_01]: No.
[01:13:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Was he nominated for both of them?
[01:13:21] [SPEAKER_01]: He was nominated for the first and now for the second.
[01:13:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so the first one he loses to that year, con, devol, and patrino were all nominating for supporting him.
[01:13:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And they all lost.
[01:13:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And they all lost.
[01:13:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, which is a great point.
[01:13:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[01:13:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, my point is the argument that, oh, they just nominate devol for everything.
[01:13:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't hold any water.
[01:13:40] [SPEAKER_01]: You could go, well, this is a meteor part.
[01:13:43] [SPEAKER_01]: No, you're going to allow it.
[01:13:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's a shitty meaty part.
[01:13:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a piece of shitty meat.
[01:13:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a fucking horse steak.
[01:13:48] [SPEAKER_01]: It's even a garbage piece of fucking catware.
[01:13:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[01:13:52] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's like garbage meats.
[01:13:55] [SPEAKER_03]: What does this movie, wow, horses season next year though?
[01:13:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I know that sounds cool.
[01:13:58] [SPEAKER_03]: James Frank doesn't know it.
[01:14:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, like, why, why now be like, you know what devol is doing good work?
[01:14:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And my argument is if you're going to nominate him for the judge, then you should
[01:14:11] [SPEAKER_01]: retroactively nominate him for literally every movie he's done the last 20 years.
[01:14:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Because he has no better words in the judge.
[01:14:17] [SPEAKER_01]: He's just then he is in Jack Reacher.
[01:14:18] [SPEAKER_01]: But, well, he's fucking in Jack Reacher.
[01:14:20] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's fine in this.
[01:14:21] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a white actor.
[01:14:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Part of it is what we're talking about, like, he does a scene where he shoots himself.
[01:14:26] [SPEAKER_03]: And he gets like, washed off naked in a shower.
[01:14:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Then, like, he has like a couple of, like, I remember I think his Oscar clip was that scene
[01:14:32] [SPEAKER_03]: where he's yelling at, uh, down in, like, during the tornado.
[01:14:35] [SPEAKER_03]: We've got about the tornado.
[01:14:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, she's...
[01:14:37] [SPEAKER_03]: There's...
[01:14:38] [SPEAKER_03]: There's something they're like, it's a tornado!
[01:14:40] [SPEAKER_03]: They have to like go into the basement and then they have a fight...
[01:14:42] [SPEAKER_03]: They have a fight.
[01:14:43] [SPEAKER_03]: So bad that they have to leave the tornado shelter and go fight out in the open.
[01:14:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm much to everyone's favorite father son scene from Man of Steel.
[01:14:50] [SPEAKER_04]: It would be a good role.
[01:14:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the winner brother.
[01:14:52] [SPEAKER_01]: This has become the go-to studios for tornado fights.
[01:14:54] [SPEAKER_03]: tornado fights between fathers and sons.
[01:14:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, and that's the scene where he's like,
[01:14:58] [SPEAKER_03]: oh, boo, who I didn't come here graduation?
[01:15:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, fuck you, I paid for it.
[01:15:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Or, you know, again, you're like,
[01:15:03] [SPEAKER_03]: you could have gone to a school in your nation.
[01:15:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Look, look, graduate from by.
[01:15:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, I hate this movie.
[01:15:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't believe you maybe watched it.
[01:15:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I had to watch it the same day I watched on Toronto, the movie,
[01:15:12] [SPEAKER_03]: which is a better movie than the judge.
[01:15:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
[01:15:15] [SPEAKER_01]: It's really bad.
[01:15:17] [SPEAKER_01]: So a new question to present for you before we try to answer
[01:15:19] [SPEAKER_01]: or major question and then never talk about the judge ever again.
[01:15:24] [SPEAKER_01]: And for any of our listeners who actually watched the judge,
[01:15:27] [SPEAKER_01]: we're so sorry.
[01:15:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so sorry.
[01:15:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And thank you.
[01:15:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And we won't test your loyalty this much going forward.
[01:15:32] [SPEAKER_01]: But I do think, yeah, we won't.
[01:15:33] [SPEAKER_01]: That's true.
[01:15:33] [SPEAKER_01]: You will learn something from seeing this movie.
[01:15:35] [SPEAKER_01]: You will give you a needed perspective.
[01:15:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like what Einstein said,
[01:15:40] [SPEAKER_01]: we need to drop the atomic bomb once
[01:15:41] [SPEAKER_01]: that we never dropped it ever again.
[01:15:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I just want to make this clear.
[01:15:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're not doing a podcast about bad movies.
[01:15:46] [SPEAKER_01]: No, that's not our intention to test all.
[01:15:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I find this one fascinating.
[01:15:50] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to cover some of our favorite pieces
[01:15:52] [SPEAKER_01]: of art of all time.
[01:15:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely.
[01:15:53] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to cover interesting failures.
[01:15:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Our job here is not just to shit on things
[01:15:57] [SPEAKER_01]: and then watch the shit off our legs with a shower handle.
[01:16:00] [SPEAKER_01]: That's not all we're here to do.
[01:16:02] [SPEAKER_01]: But I needed to share this movie with people.
[01:16:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Because no one fucking saw it.
[01:16:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I watched it out of a completeism.
[01:16:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to see all the nominees for the Oscar.
[01:16:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I watched the fucking documentary shorts and everything.
[01:16:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I watched literally everything last year.
[01:16:13] [SPEAKER_01]: The judge was the last one I watched.
[01:16:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I watched it with my roommate and he resented me for making it.
[01:16:18] [SPEAKER_01]: He had a tough day at work and he was like,
[01:16:19] [SPEAKER_01]: hey, you want to watch some TV?
[01:16:20] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, what if we watched the judge?
[01:16:25] [SPEAKER_03]: So you saw a screener.
[01:16:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I did.
[01:16:27] [SPEAKER_03]: It's that screener.
[01:16:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I got a sack screener of the judge.
[01:16:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was the after you've been nominated.
[01:16:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I had to vote in the saggy words.
[01:16:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Who's your vote for?
[01:16:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I forgot to vote this.
[01:16:35] [SPEAKER_01]: You were, yeah.
[01:16:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm obsessed with the words.
[01:16:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I forgot to vote.
[01:16:38] [SPEAKER_01]: But here would have been my choices.
[01:16:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I would have gone JK Simmons,
[01:16:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Patricia Arquette, Rosemann Pike and Jake Jillin Hall.
[01:16:43] [SPEAKER_01]: That's pretty good.
[01:16:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Jillin Hall was not only for the sags and not for the Oscars
[01:16:46] [SPEAKER_03]: and that was, I didn't like that color.
[01:16:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you can talk about it.
[01:16:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I love that performance.
[01:16:50] [SPEAKER_01]: So that was pretty good performance.
[01:16:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Comment about Twitter and my runner up.
[01:16:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that was, I hate that movie.
[01:16:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a beautiful performance.
[01:16:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Weirdly, I like the movie.
[01:16:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I hate, I don't hate the performance.
[01:16:59] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think much of it.
[01:17:00] [SPEAKER_01]: It's, oh, no, he's pretty good.
[01:17:01] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what?
[01:17:02] [SPEAKER_01]: This is a perfect lead into the big question I want to ask you.
[01:17:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, go ahead.
[01:17:05] [SPEAKER_01]: David, we've been friends for like a little over two years now.
[01:17:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Is that right?
[01:17:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, more than two years.
[01:17:09] [SPEAKER_01]: But we became fast friends and deep friends.
[01:17:11] [SPEAKER_01]: We very quickly were like, we became friends
[01:17:13] [SPEAKER_01]: because I'll list this don't know.
[01:17:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh.
[01:17:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[01:17:16] [SPEAKER_01]: A friend of the Gathert show.
[01:17:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, followed both of us on Twitter.
[01:17:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I think we followed each other and pointed out
[01:17:22] [SPEAKER_01]: that we were doing various similar things at the same time.
[01:17:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, especially about our respective crushes
[01:17:26] [SPEAKER_03]: on, um, when we're not a writer and Beetlejuice.
[01:17:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[01:17:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Either when we were that age or aging her up to present day.
[01:17:31] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I think it was when we were that age.
[01:17:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah.
[01:17:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and was like, are you guys not friends?
[01:17:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And then we see a DMing sort of hanging in the lines.
[01:17:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, DMs like.
[01:17:39] [SPEAKER_03]: We've slated into the DMs.
[01:17:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[01:17:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It's awesome.
[01:17:41] [SPEAKER_01]: We used to go there.
[01:17:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Got drinks.
[01:17:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Had a fun time.
[01:17:43] [SPEAKER_01]: They started going this trivia night together.
[01:17:44] [SPEAKER_01]: We came up with a sense of it took over our lives for about a year.
[01:17:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, we both sort of felt like we need to step away from it because we were failing
[01:17:51] [SPEAKER_01]: another aspect.
[01:17:52] [SPEAKER_01]: That's true.
[01:17:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Responsibilities as men.
[01:17:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And, uh, uh, one of the reasons we went to this podcast together
[01:17:58] [SPEAKER_01]: said, find a reason to spend time together.
[01:18:00] [SPEAKER_01]: We love analyzing these things.
[01:18:01] [SPEAKER_01]: We thought we could make something out of it.
[01:18:03] [SPEAKER_01]: So we're not just John about chewing the fat.
[01:18:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[01:18:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't know if you can turn it something else that people might like.
[01:18:07] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a great excuse for just to hang out in the way the basis.
[01:18:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I, I'm really touched the people actually like listening to it.
[01:18:12] [SPEAKER_01]: It's so much fun.
[01:18:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Is the does the fact that I made you watch the judge will have a reputable damage
[01:18:21] [SPEAKER_01]: on our friendship.
[01:18:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, not at all.
[01:18:23] [SPEAKER_03]: No.
[01:18:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I felt a little guilty last night when I realized you were watching the judge.
[01:18:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I was like this, I, this is actually maybe a big ask for a good friend.
[01:18:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Please.
[01:18:33] [SPEAKER_01]: No, not at all.
[01:18:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I love watching these.
[01:18:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Come on.
[01:18:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I love watching movies like it.
[01:18:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Even even when I hate him, even when I have to watch on to judge the same night and review
[01:18:41] [SPEAKER_03]: for the Atlantic, it's still happy to do it.
[01:18:44] [SPEAKER_01]: But here's the question.
[01:18:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead.
[01:18:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Did you enjoy your really think this was going to win an Oscar?
[01:18:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what he was thinking.
[01:18:49] [SPEAKER_01]: But that's crazy, right?
[01:18:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Because as parts not even that show, we, I mean, to all the good parts.
[01:18:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it involves the good part.
[01:18:54] [SPEAKER_01]: In quotes.
[01:18:56] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's the Oscar.
[01:18:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:18:58] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not a well written role.
[01:19:00] [SPEAKER_01]: He played it to the best.
[01:19:01] [SPEAKER_03]: I think you've all, I mean, downing must have thought like this movie will be a big hit.
[01:19:04] [SPEAKER_03]: It'll get good reviews and I'll coast to an nomination based on that.
[01:19:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess I don't best hear.
[01:19:09] [SPEAKER_01]: He's the Tom Cruise to the Dustin Hoffman and Rainman.
[01:19:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's a key to the support part to make someone else look better.
[01:19:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Does he think well, Devol is going to win the lifetime achievement award the second
[01:19:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Oscar before he dies?
[01:19:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And I get best picture.
[01:19:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, no, what do you say out of his mind?
[01:19:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Here's what you got to do.
[01:19:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Biopic.
[01:19:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like you did with Chaplain, something where you're really physically testing yourself
[01:19:27] [SPEAKER_03]: as an actor.
[01:19:28] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a kid.
[01:19:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, hey, man.
[01:19:31] [SPEAKER_03]: That's actually pretty good idea.
[01:19:32] [SPEAKER_01]: He'd be great old sad busier Keaton.
[01:19:34] [SPEAKER_01]: When busier Keaton wasn't allowed to, he fucked up at 8 p.m., he got sold to MGM and they made
[01:19:39] [SPEAKER_01]: him do talkies with Jimmy Durante and he wasn't good at it.
[01:19:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And he had this really gravely voice and everyone was thrown off by the fact that
[01:19:44] [SPEAKER_01]: busier Keaton who looked like an angel was like, ah, I don't know where this be is coming from.
[01:19:50] [SPEAKER_03]: This is the thing.
[01:19:51] [SPEAKER_03]: If Downey Jr.
[01:19:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Just free advice, Rob.
[01:19:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and come on that.
[01:19:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, sad bus.
[01:19:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Come on the show anytime I love you, Rob.
[01:19:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Trying to talk to you.
[01:19:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Trying to talk to you.
[01:19:58] [SPEAKER_03]: You've made a very clear.
[01:19:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Very love him.
[01:20:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry we shot all over you movie for now in 20 minutes, but you know your movie
[01:20:04] [SPEAKER_03]: was two hours and 20 minutes.
[01:20:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, but he could have gone longer.
[01:20:08] [SPEAKER_03]: He's got to do something where he doesn't do the Robert Denny Jr.
[01:20:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Great.
[01:20:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Like that's the thing that's holding him back.
[01:20:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[01:20:13] [SPEAKER_03]: He needs to not rely on his natural charisma, his natural kind of like screen magnetism
[01:20:19] [SPEAKER_03]: and do something when people are like, whoa, like that's Robert Downey Jr., I can't
[01:20:23] [SPEAKER_03]: believe it.
[01:20:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I believe that's what impresses in this.
[01:20:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, oh, it's worth it.
[01:20:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I believe that the cornerstone to getting an act in our nation, especially when
[01:20:31] [SPEAKER_01]: it's too surprised.
[01:20:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, because of the prize.
[01:20:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Robert Downey Jr.
[01:20:34] [SPEAKER_03]: You should have been nominated for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
[01:20:36] [SPEAKER_03]: He should have been nominated for Iron Man.
[01:20:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Those are magnetic screen performances.
[01:20:40] [SPEAKER_03]: The Marvel movies literally are on the back of his performance in Iron Man where it's
[01:20:44] [SPEAKER_03]: like here's a guy who makes a comic book character seem like a human being but also seem
[01:20:50] [SPEAKER_03]: like a comic book character and like fun and like in charge of like, you know, like kind
[01:20:54] [SPEAKER_03]: of like, witty and zinging and ugh.
[01:20:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And he notoriously rewrote and or improvise most of the dialogue and it's great.
[01:21:00] [SPEAKER_01]: It was so structure, the script, and he was like, I don't want to save these things this
[01:21:03] [SPEAKER_01]: way and rework every scene is playing with great actors.
[01:21:06] [SPEAKER_01]: He's awesome in it.
[01:21:07] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing that people realize down the line, like, oh, we should have given
[01:21:10] [SPEAKER_01]: him more credit for what he was doing there, especially in the first one.
[01:21:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's great in traffic under two, which is like, you know, get to know them.
[01:21:15] [SPEAKER_01]: That's that's the surprise.
[01:21:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's right.
[01:21:17] [SPEAKER_01]: So I think they're like two different types.
[01:21:19] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, oh, I've never seen this actor be this good before.
[01:21:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm surprised because I've never seen it and kill it this hard.
[01:21:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Or I've never seen them even try to play something like this.
[01:21:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And Mariel's creepypabble goes, oh, they nominated for everything.
[01:21:31] [SPEAKER_01]: They know him for everything.
[01:21:32] [SPEAKER_01]: She's on the mac-com-mach crazy thing.
[01:21:33] [SPEAKER_01]: She's always doing something different every year when the like the slam dunk,
[01:21:37] [SPEAKER_01]: mariel nomination film comes out with its trailer and I'm like, what is it this time?
[01:21:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I go that actually is something that haven't seen her do before.
[01:21:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[01:21:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not saying she's always good, but she is always at least.
[01:21:46] [SPEAKER_01]: There's always something in her eyes.
[01:21:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I didn't know she could play that kind of thing.
[01:21:49] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, she's doing a different dialect.
[01:21:51] [SPEAKER_01]: She physically transforms herself all these kinds of things.
[01:21:54] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, you need that element and Donnie Jr.
[01:21:56] [SPEAKER_01]: is so cynically trying to give the people what he thinks they want based off
[01:22:00] [SPEAKER_01]: of the movies.
[01:22:00] [SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't allowed to make in the 90s because he was doing too much heroin.
[01:22:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And what he needs to do is surprise us.
[01:22:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Work with someone who's going to push him out of his boundaries.
[01:22:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Not a fucking David Dobb can who's got dumb instincts and also he can probably step over
[01:22:11] [SPEAKER_01]: if Donnie Jr wants to like overpower him.
[01:22:13] [SPEAKER_01]: But someone like Paul Thomas Anderson, you know who's not going to let him taste.
[01:22:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Even Sam Rayme.
[01:22:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Even Sam Rayme.
[01:22:20] [SPEAKER_01]: He actually would have been great.
[01:22:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was a great power.
[01:22:22] [SPEAKER_01]: He would have been great and that movie would have been 40% better if he wasn't still
[01:22:26] [SPEAKER_01]: what I'm in bed, but it would have been 40% better.
[01:22:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Which means it would have been 40% good.
[01:22:30] [SPEAKER_01]: It's maybe 10% good.
[01:22:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[01:22:32] [SPEAKER_01]: That's got a couple of great meat touches.
[01:22:33] [SPEAKER_01]: The opening is actually beautiful.
[01:22:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Is that perhaps weirdly kind of funny in it?
[01:22:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Nope.
[01:22:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Not giving you that one.
[01:22:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to I'm going to cut that.
[01:22:43] [SPEAKER_01]: He plays a monkey.
[01:22:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Please cut it.
[01:22:44] [SPEAKER_03]: He plays a porcelain monkey.
[01:22:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[01:22:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Put a light saber.
[01:22:46] [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no, no.
[01:22:47] [SPEAKER_01]: The girls are all caught on.
[01:22:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Put in a light saber effect and cut that out.
[01:22:50] [SPEAKER_01]: He plays like a monkey in a bellhop.
[01:22:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and also don't mention my dad's financial problems back.
[01:22:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's not talk about it.
[01:22:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Right, don't mention those on Mike.
[01:22:56] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the judge too.
[01:22:59] [SPEAKER_01]: That's terrific.
[01:23:00] [SPEAKER_01]: It's terrific new man.
[01:23:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And his dad gets his dad's man at him because he keeps talking to the podcast.
[01:23:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, judging my dad's finances and the posters me like this going to.
[01:23:07] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[01:23:07] [SPEAKER_03]: We have gone really long.
[01:23:09] [SPEAKER_03]: We needed to.
[01:23:10] [SPEAKER_03]: And we should never speak of this movie again.
[01:23:12] [SPEAKER_03]: We should start.
[01:23:13] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a lot to talk.
[01:23:13] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a lot to talk.
[01:23:14] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a lot to talk about.
[01:23:14] [SPEAKER_03]: We're never talking about it.
[01:23:16] [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to get down.
[01:23:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And next week we're going to talk about Star Wars episode two attack of a close.
[01:23:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Dose attack of the clowns.
[01:23:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think I think an interesting angle to hit it out for the first week to give you
[01:23:31] [SPEAKER_01]: a little teaser of what's coming is how does episode two function as a sequel?
[01:23:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I want to next week just review it as a sequel.
[01:23:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And we can just talk about our first impressions of this film.
[01:23:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And what we thought would happen in a second Star Wars movie and what does happen in it.
[01:23:47] Whew.
