[00:00:01] Blank Check with Griffin and David

[00:00:05] Blank Check with Griffin and David

[00:00:09] Don't know what to say or to expect

[00:00:13] All you need to know is that the name of the show is Blank Check

[00:00:20] You know how I knew David?

[00:00:22] I shouldn't known all along

[00:00:24] You know why?

[00:00:26] Because of the kids, David

[00:00:28] They called me Mr. Podcast!

[00:00:32] That was too long

[00:00:34] Ben cut out the first 45 seconds of that intro

[00:00:37] Maybe

[00:00:39] Okay, I am Griffin Newman

[00:00:41] I'm David Sims

[00:00:42] You might know us better as The Two Friends

[00:00:44] Yeah we're The Two Friends

[00:00:45] Hashtag The Two Friends

[00:00:46] I really snap a step one, I said I really want a weapon

[00:00:48] You want to push The Two Friends

[00:00:50] The Two Friends I think is a good branding hook

[00:00:52] Which was my idea

[00:00:53] Yeah, oh 100%

[00:00:54] We're The Two Friends

[00:00:55] You might know us better as the host of Blank Check with Griffin and David

[00:00:59] That's the podcast you're listening to

[00:01:01] Hey guys

[00:01:03] Thank you for listening

[00:01:05] Good night

[00:01:06] And good night

[00:01:07] This was a little quicky

[00:01:08] This was a bonus episode

[00:01:11] No, we have a guest with us

[00:01:13] We have a guest, let's get right to it

[00:01:14] I just want to get the guest in really quickly

[00:01:15] Because it just freaks me out

[00:01:16] No, I like sitting here

[00:01:17] He's got a lot of things to say

[00:01:18] I'm going to sit in the corner and just stare

[00:01:20] Yeah, he's going to turn around slowly

[00:01:22] No, we have a guest with us

[00:01:24] You're hearing his voice right now

[00:01:26] His melodious voice

[00:01:28] Griffin, let's trade this off

[00:01:30] Keep going

[00:01:35] He is a host of the Fighting the War Room podcast

[00:01:38] Along with last week's guest

[00:01:39] Katie Rich, we're trying to get them all

[00:01:41] Yeah

[00:01:42] This is like a Pokemon thing

[00:01:43] We're going to catch them all

[00:01:44] If you've been paying attention

[00:01:45] There are certain collections we're trying to complete

[00:01:47] So we still have a couple members from our trivia team to get on

[00:01:50] Almost none

[00:01:51] Yeah, just two I think

[00:01:52] Two biggies

[00:01:53] Yeah, two biggies

[00:01:54] And we have half of the Fighting the War Room team

[00:01:57] So he's the

[00:01:59] Entertainment editor at Frillis.com

[00:02:01] That's correct

[00:02:02] I was about to say I have a real job too

[00:02:04] Yeah, he has a real job too

[00:02:05] Fighting the War Room is a real job

[00:02:06] He's a war...

[00:02:07] I have eight real jobs

[00:02:09] Eight?

[00:02:10] Yeah, I can't get in them all

[00:02:11] Did you do security at the University of Philadelphia?

[00:02:15] Hey, it's Franklin Field, right?

[00:02:16] I'm from Philadelphia

[00:02:17] Yeah, you're from Philadelphia

[00:02:18] So this M Night Shyamalan series is very important

[00:02:20] We finally have a Philly X for the area

[00:02:22] We're native on

[00:02:23] Yeah

[00:02:24] It's Matt Patches

[00:02:25] Matt Patches

[00:02:26] We didn't say his name

[00:02:27] Hello

[00:02:28] Thank you for being here, Matt

[00:02:29] Thank you for...

[00:02:30] It is my pleasure

[00:02:31] So you twist?

[00:02:32] It's not

[00:02:33] Oh, bad twist

[00:02:34] I'm sorry, twist it is

[00:02:35] Oh hey, double twist

[00:02:37] Do you commute all the way from Philadelphia here?

[00:02:40] Yeah, I took the train

[00:02:42] Where I derailed but I got off

[00:02:44] Well that's how you got here so fast

[00:02:46] Did you have an encounter with a woman

[00:02:49] And you took off your wedding ring

[00:02:51] Yeah

[00:02:52] And she had like a tattoo or was he unbreakable?

[00:02:55] Guys, we're getting ahead of ourselves

[00:02:57] The audience doesn't even know a movie

[00:02:59] We're talking about the first scene of the movie

[00:03:01] We're talking about unbreakable

[00:03:02] I mean, the chronology

[00:03:03] Well that's not true

[00:03:04] The second scene of the movie

[00:03:05] Yeah, that's true

[00:03:06] You got

[00:03:07] So we're talking about unbreakable

[00:03:08] Which is unbreakable

[00:03:10] And it's M Night Shyamalan's fourth feature film

[00:03:15] Mm-hmm

[00:03:16] And now it's the fourth

[00:03:18] It's the fourth, number four

[00:03:19] But people kind of view it as the sophomore film

[00:03:21] Yeah

[00:03:22] Because it was like, let's say this

[00:03:23] It was the fourth movie M Night Shyamalan directed

[00:03:26] It was the second quote unquote M Night Shyamalan film

[00:03:29] Right, yeah

[00:03:30] After the point where that had become a brand

[00:03:32] After the rebirth

[00:03:33] Yes

[00:03:34] Yeah, after the Lazarus Pit

[00:03:35] Yeah, he came out of the Lazarus Pit

[00:03:37] And he had much more creative control

[00:03:39] Yeah

[00:03:40] Although apparently he hated how this movie was advertised

[00:03:42] Which is a common theme with M Night Shyamalan

[00:03:45] Is that he doesn't like how his movies are marketed

[00:03:47] When they don't do well

[00:03:48] How is it marketed? Do you remember the trailers?

[00:03:50] Yeah, and I think it was marketed as like a thriller

[00:03:53] It's definitely shadowy

[00:03:55] Like very dark posters, you know

[00:03:57] And like a poster with glass shattering

[00:04:00] And like really really foreboding trailer

[00:04:03] Which seems emblematic of the movie

[00:04:05] That seems pretty fair

[00:04:06] The movie is dark and brooding

[00:04:07] It's dark as shit

[00:04:08] I think he wanted it to be more of a superhero movie

[00:04:11] In its advertising

[00:04:12] And he thought that they were just trying to be like

[00:04:14] This is the new Six Sense movie

[00:04:16] Which, duh, that's what they're gonna do

[00:04:18] Man, you just made the Six Sense

[00:04:20] That's fascinating

[00:04:21] I have a lot to say on that matter

[00:04:22] But I wanted to...

[00:04:23] A scooch a housekeeping

[00:04:25] Yeah

[00:04:26] Just a scoot

[00:04:27] Yeah, a scoot your way

[00:04:28] This is episode three of this

[00:04:29] I almost knocked coffee all over the electronics

[00:04:31] A second ago by the way

[00:04:32] But I'm continuing to drink coffee

[00:04:33] Do you think you are Rick the Intern in the trailer

[00:04:35] With a scene that was cut out of the movie?

[00:04:37] Is that in the deleted scenes of drafty?

[00:04:38] No it's not

[00:04:39] I got the blurance

[00:04:40] Not fucking on that

[00:04:43] Ladies and gentlemen

[00:04:44] This is the third episode of Blank Check

[00:04:46] With Griffin and David

[00:04:47] Which rose from the ashes

[00:04:49] Some would say it's the second episode

[00:04:51] M Night Might

[00:04:52] Oh, interesting

[00:04:53] Yeah

[00:04:54] Yeah

[00:04:55] Yeah

[00:04:56] Some might conveniently forget our wide awake

[00:04:58] Praying with anger episode

[00:05:00] Not because it wasn't good

[00:05:02] But because it was slightly off-brand

[00:05:03] For what we were gonna become

[00:05:04] Build the foundation

[00:05:05] Build the foundation

[00:05:06] Build the foundation, definitely

[00:05:07] It showed a technical skill set

[00:05:08] Deep down though

[00:05:09] Like, yeah, yeah

[00:05:10] The part nobody sees

[00:05:11] Deep foundation

[00:05:12] Deep foundation

[00:05:14] I'm gonna keep on singing songs

[00:05:16] I just made my face to Griffin

[00:05:18] Which is the alright face

[00:05:19] The on with it face

[00:05:21] No, this is important

[00:05:23] Episode three

[00:05:24] Since our rebranding

[00:05:25] As a brand new podcast

[00:05:26] That has nothing to do with the old podcast

[00:05:28] Great entry point for new listeners

[00:05:30] Tell your friends about it

[00:05:31] We have a new theme song

[00:05:33] Oh yeah

[00:05:34] We have forgotten to mention

[00:05:35] That's true

[00:05:36] Because Ben doesn't play it when we're here

[00:05:37] So I forget that it exists

[00:05:39] Until I re-listen to the episodes

[00:05:40] I'm like, oh, we should give credit

[00:05:41] Where credit is due

[00:05:42] We totally should, my god

[00:05:43] Lane Montgomery

[00:05:44] It's just been shocking people

[00:06:13] Well, I think there's a guy we got in for you

[00:06:16] Because he keeps on twisting on us

[00:06:19] It's true, he's in the room

[00:06:20] He's out of the room

[00:06:21] I got an intern

[00:06:22] He only works two days a week

[00:06:24] All these twists left and right

[00:06:26] Ladies and gentlemen

[00:06:27] Sitting in

[00:07:00] Okay

[00:07:01] Ben was bragging

[00:07:02] I really don't think we should have a new one

[00:07:04] Padding himself on the back

[00:07:05] When we were doing the audio levels

[00:07:07] How crisp the audio sounded

[00:07:09] Yeah, very crisp audio

[00:07:10] So what are you going to call them?

[00:07:11] Professor Crispy

[00:07:12] Oh, I don't like that

[00:07:13] No, no, no, thumbs down

[00:07:15] No, is that the first one we're not?

[00:07:17] It's rejected

[00:07:18] The first one not to stick

[00:07:20] Okay, Professor Crispy

[00:07:21] But we can refer to it

[00:07:22] I think it's the end of our housekeeping

[00:07:24] As always, rate, review, subscribe

[00:07:27] Listen to the other UCB podcasts

[00:07:28] We've gotten some good reviews lately

[00:07:30] People seem to like the Shaman stuff

[00:07:32] We were worried

[00:07:33] Thank God

[00:07:34] But yeah, thank God

[00:07:35] Wipes them, sweat off our brows

[00:07:37] Okay, Unbreakable

[00:07:38] Unbreakable

[00:07:39] Hey, Patches

[00:07:40] Hey, I'm on this episode

[00:07:42] Oh, hello on this episode

[00:07:44] Unbreakable

[00:07:45] Break this movie up

[00:07:46] I didn't know that MI Tramlin didn't like the marketing campaign

[00:07:49] And that was actually one of the first things I wanted to talk about today

[00:07:51] Okay

[00:07:52] Because

[00:07:53] Did we all see this film in theaters when it was released?

[00:07:56] I saw it with my grandma

[00:07:58] Wow, alright

[00:07:59] What did she think?

[00:08:00] I don't remember

[00:08:01] I saw it in theaters

[00:08:02] I remember, I saw it in theaters and it like

[00:08:04] I found it to be an alarming and disturbing experience

[00:08:08] Like it freaked me out

[00:08:09] Yeah, I saw it

[00:08:10] I was so pretty, you know, I was 14 I think

[00:08:11] I was like, ugh

[00:08:12] I mean if there was anything in the sixth sense

[00:08:14] That was for like young people

[00:08:16] To enjoy

[00:08:17] It was stripped away

[00:08:18] Unbreakable

[00:08:19] This is the closest to Lars Bonfreer

[00:08:22] Yeah

[00:08:23] That Shyamalan will ever get

[00:08:24] This is an unenjoyable film

[00:08:26] Especially for

[00:08:27] But like on purpose

[00:08:28] Right

[00:08:29] So I was 11 when this movie came out

[00:08:31] Yeah, okay

[00:08:32] And it immediately skyrocketed into my top 10 favorite movies of all time

[00:08:36] What a weirdo

[00:08:37] Griffin's so weird

[00:08:38] I mean you kind of get it

[00:08:39] I feel like this is a movie

[00:08:40] The Adventures of Younger

[00:08:41] Yeah

[00:08:42] Like if you're one of these dark knight lovers

[00:08:45] Who just really are into the dark and the gritty

[00:08:48] And taking, you know, superheros fantasy seriously

[00:08:53] You maybe gravitate towards the dark knight

[00:08:55] Or you were really into the boondock saints at some point

[00:08:57] But then

[00:08:58] Were you into the boondock saints?

[00:08:59] No, people who are a little more reasonable

[00:09:01] But still like want that dark gritty stuff

[00:09:04] Unbreakable

[00:09:05] You know, like right below crazy dark knight people

[00:09:08] Who spend all day on IMDb

[00:09:10] Punicking that at the top

[00:09:11] I will say I like Batman McGinn's More Than Dark Knight

[00:09:14] Which I agree with you

[00:09:15] Which I agree with you

[00:09:16] Which is a minor thing

[00:09:17] It's a far superior film

[00:09:18] I think they're both pretty great

[00:09:20] No

[00:09:21] I like them both a lot

[00:09:22] But I like Batman McGinn's more

[00:09:23] I think it has less to do with the dark and grittyness

[00:09:26] And more that I as an 11 year old

[00:09:28] I like to track movies about sad broken men

[00:09:30] Perfect

[00:09:32] Yeah, I like the dark knight because it's about robot people

[00:09:34] And it's all like Michael Mann

[00:09:35] And I love Michael Mann movies

[00:09:37] Whatever, we don't have to talk about the dark knight now

[00:09:39] Yeah, I like that Batman McGinn's is pulp here

[00:09:40] But anyway, point is

[00:09:41] Uh

[00:09:42] Batman McGinn's great

[00:09:43] Love this movie

[00:09:44] I had loved The Sixth Sense

[00:09:45] I had loved Wide Awake

[00:09:46] Although even at this point

[00:09:47] I did not realize they were the same filmmaker

[00:09:49] That these were the same MI Chomla

[00:09:51] We talked about it

[00:09:52] Yeah, a severe lack of Rosie O'Donnell

[00:09:54] In Sixth Sense and Unbreakable

[00:09:56] The main thematic thread he was laying down

[00:09:58] Which was Rosie O'Donnell's going to be in all my movies

[00:10:00] Loving Sports

[00:10:01] And then she isn't

[00:10:02] That thread is not

[00:10:03] Rosie was supposed to be the like

[00:10:04] De Niro to Chomla and Scorsese

[00:10:07] Yes

[00:10:08] Um, I very vividly remember

[00:10:10] The marketing campaign for this movie

[00:10:11] Because there was a lot of hype

[00:10:12] And this comes out

[00:10:13] It was a lot of hype

[00:10:14] That is for sure

[00:10:15] This comes out 14 months after The Sixth Sense

[00:10:17] It's November 2000

[00:10:19] So, um, yeah

[00:10:20] 15 months

[00:10:21] Yeah, Sixth Sense came out August 99

[00:10:23] Which makes

[00:10:24] He's shooting this while he's writing

[00:10:26] In Oscar High, right?

[00:10:27] He was directing

[00:10:28] Yeah

[00:10:29] So you said this was a

[00:10:30] I mean this is the definition of like playing

[00:10:32] Check what we're talking about

[00:10:33] Where they were like, okay

[00:10:34] Alright

[00:10:35] You know, you're the wonderkin

[00:10:36] Like do what you want

[00:10:37] When did someone stamp him with

[00:10:38] The next Spielberg

[00:10:40] Uh

[00:10:41] That Time Magazine cover was signed

[00:10:43] That was the next move

[00:10:44] Okay

[00:10:45] It took Unbreakable

[00:10:46] Yeah, the cover where they said that

[00:10:48] He was in the cornfield

[00:10:49] That's all I remember very vividly

[00:10:51] Where he spends most of his time

[00:10:52] I'm trying to finally got a glimpse of his home

[00:10:54] Why is my phone fucking phoned off?

[00:10:56] I did, I don't know why it's still fucking doing that

[00:10:58] God damn it, Greg

[00:10:59] I turned it off, it's on the airplane log

[00:11:00] Yeah, he's right

[00:11:01] He's in the cornfield

[00:11:03] Wow

[00:11:04] So you said this was a spec sale

[00:11:06] This was a spec script

[00:11:07] I can look up the details of it

[00:11:08] I just want to show you guys

[00:11:10] Yeah, we'll talk a lot about that cover next week

[00:11:12] He looks like he's about to start in Lost

[00:11:14] He's wearing like a rope necklace

[00:11:16] It's very losty, yeah

[00:11:17] Uh, it's a very 2001 2002

[00:11:20] What kind of shells are on his necklace that he's wearing there?

[00:11:22] Jesus

[00:11:23] And he's got one hand on the hip

[00:11:25] But like loosely

[00:11:26] In a very like get over it poster kind of pose

[00:11:29] Uh, yeah, he wrote it as a spec script

[00:11:31] He approached Willis about it while they were making the sixth sense

[00:11:34] Okay, so we already had the script

[00:11:35] That's why I wanted to know

[00:11:36] And he had Samuel L. Jackson in mind for the other character

[00:11:38] Yeah

[00:11:39] He wrote it as a spec script

[00:11:40] He gave Walt Disney a first look deal

[00:11:42] They bought it for five million bucks

[00:11:44] Wow

[00:11:45] The script

[00:11:46] Fucking him, like

[00:11:47] I mean, sixth sense was pretty darn good

[00:11:49] They gave him another five million to direct

[00:11:52] Wow, so he got over ten million dollars

[00:11:54] He got ten million before anything happened

[00:11:56] Yeah

[00:11:58] I'd say

[00:12:00] And Julie Ann Moore was cast in the third role

[00:12:02] And then replaced because she went to make Hannibal

[00:12:05] Yes

[00:12:06] Which was a decision

[00:12:07] What was that? Was that the right decision?

[00:12:09] I mean, Hannibal was a big hit

[00:12:10] It's not like Robin Wright has a lot to do in a breakable

[00:12:13] She want the lead role of a movie

[00:12:15] I agree

[00:12:16] This role is a throwaway

[00:12:17] I definitely agree

[00:12:19] I also, I think it's a pretty well written character though

[00:12:21] Like it's

[00:12:22] I was gonna say it's not a bad character

[00:12:24] But of course it is

[00:12:25] It's very much the third lead of this movie

[00:12:27] And we'll talk about it

[00:12:28] And it's a distant third lead

[00:12:29] But it's got well written scenes

[00:12:31] You know, it's not a huge pivotal role

[00:12:33] She kills

[00:12:34] Does she get her husband? Doesn't she get her husband

[00:12:36] A lot of motivation

[00:12:37] It's a simple

[00:12:38] She kills that one scene

[00:12:39] Where

[00:12:40] Can I ask you a question?

[00:12:41] Yeah, exactly

[00:12:42] It's like a conversation with Mr. Glass later

[00:12:45] Yeah, sure

[00:12:46] But you're right, of course, yes

[00:12:48] She's very much beholden to this like

[00:12:50] Shuffling

[00:12:51] Golem

[00:12:52] Who like barely seems to have emotions

[00:12:54] I'm talking about Bruce Willis' character

[00:12:57] I thought you were talking about Anay Chambla

[00:13:00] I wanna go back a little bit

[00:13:02] To the marketing camera

[00:13:04] So he has the script ready

[00:13:06] Six cents blows up

[00:13:07] He goes, hey guys, good news

[00:13:09] I have a script right here under my butt

[00:13:11] I was sitting on a script, here it is for you

[00:13:12] And they go, great, here's a check for five million dollars

[00:13:15] And he starts production presumably very, very quickly

[00:13:18] Yeah, I'm trying to see

[00:13:20] Well, principal photography began in April 2000

[00:13:23] So

[00:13:24] Quick turnaround

[00:13:25] Turned around pretty quickly

[00:13:26] So this is right after the Oscars

[00:13:27] You don't need a lot to make him breakable, right?

[00:13:29] He's like

[00:13:30] It's true

[00:13:31] Disney buys the script, oh we're making a superhero movie

[00:13:33] Okay, we need like a hundred million dollars capes

[00:13:35] We're gonna have to spig-

[00:13:36] No, dude, guys, it's Philadelphia again

[00:13:39] They're just gonna walk around

[00:13:40] Just get the rain machine

[00:13:41] One million dollars for like three days

[00:13:44] Five ponchos

[00:13:45] Yeah, but there's big action scenes, M. Night

[00:13:47] There's big action

[00:13:48] No, no, no

[00:13:49] I just need a swimming pool with a cover over it

[00:13:51] They just have to fight in the same bedroom as the six cents

[00:13:54] Don't worry about it

[00:13:55] We're gonna, there's one big expense

[00:13:57] Okay, M. Night, anything, anything, blank check

[00:13:59] Anything you want

[00:14:00] We're gonna have to make some dents in a wall

[00:14:02] You could blow the wall up

[00:14:04] No, it's just like a wall in a house

[00:14:05] We're gonna make a couple dents

[00:14:06] We could build the scenery?

[00:14:07] Do you think that's possible?

[00:14:08] What about the train crash that we're playing for?

[00:14:10] No, no, no, we do need a train car

[00:14:12] It's just normal, just a soundtrack

[00:14:14] In fact, just one car actually

[00:14:15] The rest of the train could function

[00:14:17] One could say that all the inciting incidents happen offscreen

[00:14:19] The big accidents in this film

[00:14:21] They paid for the aerial shot though

[00:14:24] That's true

[00:14:25] And they had to hire a stuntman for Samuel Jackson

[00:14:27] To fall down a few stairs

[00:14:29] Samuel Jackson just fall down a few stairs

[00:14:30] Hey, you know what?

[00:14:31] Glass canes don't grow on trees, guys

[00:14:33] We're jumping around here

[00:14:34] But I just, before I forget this

[00:14:35] I saw a credit that really jumped out to me

[00:14:37] Samuel Jackson famously has a hair guy he works with

[00:14:41] As a man who is, you know, let's not say follically challenged

[00:14:44] But is perfectly bald

[00:14:46] He has a hair guy where every time he takes on a role

[00:14:49] He's like, okay, I want to design a new look

[00:14:51] Between facial hair between the hair in my head

[00:14:52] He's got Frederick Douglass hair in this

[00:14:54] Yes

[00:14:55] But you know what? He never repeats a look

[00:14:57] Well, you know, he's bald a lot, but sure

[00:14:59] Not that often

[00:15:00] I know

[00:15:01] That's what's crazy

[00:15:02] It's like almost always there's something where it's like

[00:15:03] Oh, Looper, I'm gonna have gray hair

[00:15:05] You know, yeah, he definitely has all kinds of hair

[00:15:07] For a guy who doesn't have any hair

[00:15:09] And he like, that's the first thing when he signs on

[00:15:11] Before he figured out the costume, he goes to his hair guy

[00:15:13] And I never noticed this before

[00:15:15] But in the credits as they roll

[00:15:16] And I assume this is the same guy he works with

[00:15:17] Because he says in interviews that like

[00:15:19] I worked with him for 20 years

[00:15:20] I assume this is his guy

[00:15:21] And not a guy I'm nice and not one brought on

[00:15:22] For this project

[00:15:23] Samuel Jackson's hair

[00:15:24] The name of the guy is Robert Louis Stevenson

[00:15:28] Fair enough

[00:15:29] Is it Louis like L-O-U-I-S?

[00:15:31] It's spelled exactly the same way

[00:15:33] How bizarre

[00:15:34] Okay, marketing campaign

[00:15:35] This is what I remember

[00:15:36] I might be mistaken

[00:15:37] But I feel pretty strong about this

[00:15:39] I was a M Night Shyamahalak

[00:15:42] At the point that this film was released

[00:15:45] So I was like you were a nighty

[00:15:47] A nighty, yeah

[00:15:49] Shout out to all our blankies out there

[00:15:51] Eagley awaiting the release of this film

[00:15:53] Looking for any more soul of pre-release

[00:15:55] You know, info, marketing, whatever

[00:15:58] The poster was their two faces

[00:16:00] Shards of glass

[00:16:01] I don't even remember what the tagline was

[00:16:02] If there was one but it was very ominous

[00:16:04] I don't know if there was a tagline

[00:16:06] I think there wasn't

[00:16:07] I think the tagline was from the director of Sixth Sense

[00:16:10] I think that's all you needed for a movie at that point

[00:16:12] No, no, not from the director of Sixth Sense

[00:16:14] From M Night Shyamalan, the director of the Sixth Sense

[00:16:16] He was very, what's his name on there?

[00:16:18] He was a brand name at this point

[00:16:20] If I'm not mistaken, I believe this film

[00:16:22] Had only one trailer

[00:16:24] Only had a teaser

[00:16:25] Wow

[00:16:26] Didn't have a full trailer

[00:16:27] Because I remember the entire superhero thing

[00:16:30] Being sort of a surprise going into the film

[00:16:32] Absolutely

[00:16:33] Yeah, I think that was

[00:16:34] It's not a twist, it was a gentle

[00:16:37] Yeasing into a wild

[00:16:38] Yeah, especially because the movie opens

[00:16:40] With those crazy titles about like

[00:16:42] 100,000 comic books are read every day

[00:16:44] Whatever

[00:16:45] And like 14 billion pages

[00:16:47] I was not prepared for that

[00:16:48] That DNA is not in the marketing at all

[00:16:50] No

[00:16:51] It's just like a brooding thriller

[00:16:52] Oh, there is a tagline

[00:16:54] Way down at the bottom of the poster

[00:16:55] Very small type

[00:16:56] Is it their live-dammit?

[00:16:57] Is it

[00:16:59] Izzy?

[00:17:01] Are you ready for the true?

[00:17:04] Yeah, that's very vague

[00:17:06] Not much of a tagline

[00:17:07] This is the teaser trailer

[00:17:09] I remember it was the scene of him talking to the doctor

[00:17:11] After the crash

[00:17:13] And he's like, are you sure you're on the crash?

[00:17:15] Da-da-da

[00:17:16] You know why I'm asking you

[00:17:17] Why are you asking me this?

[00:17:18] Two questions

[00:17:19] In the second you're going to be the only survivor

[00:17:20] And there's not a scratch on your body

[00:17:22] And then there were a few quick shots of things

[00:17:24] And then it cut to a close-up of Samuel Jackson

[00:17:26] A voice over your ear and say

[00:17:27] Are you ready to find

[00:17:29] Here at The Truth

[00:17:30] Are you ready to find out what you were meant for

[00:17:31] And that was the whole trailer

[00:17:33] Piece of glass breaks

[00:17:34] The shards turn into an unbreakable

[00:17:36] That was the full trailer

[00:17:37] And it felt like

[00:17:38] Okay, spooky M. Night thriller

[00:17:40] Like it's not a horror movie

[00:17:41] But it's about a guy who can't get hurt

[00:17:42] What's going on here

[00:17:43] It's like a scary phenomenon

[00:17:44] And The Truth

[00:17:45] Yes, right

[00:17:46] Which was a recent release

[00:17:49] Right?

[00:17:50] I think that's about 96, 97

[00:17:51] Yeah, yeah

[00:17:52] A touchstone picture

[00:17:54] Okay, go on

[00:17:55] They're keeping it in the family

[00:17:56] A film history he means

[00:17:57] It was a touchstone picture

[00:17:58] Released by touchstone pictures

[00:18:00] I'd say probably the touchstone

[00:18:01] Touchstone wants all of its pictures to be

[00:18:03] Touchstone pictures

[00:18:04] Oh, of course

[00:18:05] I mean outrageous fortune

[00:18:06] People think about that

[00:18:07] As like a real turning point

[00:18:08] Maybe I can turn it off

[00:18:09] They teach it in film school

[00:18:10] Yeah, yeah

[00:18:11] Okay, so

[00:18:12] Hello

[00:18:14] What's your point?

[00:18:15] You saw the trailer

[00:18:16] It was a thriller

[00:18:17] What is your point here?

[00:18:18] No, my point is

[00:18:19] Spooked, yeah

[00:18:20] My point is

[00:18:22] At this point

[00:18:23] M. Night Shyamalan was the twist guy

[00:18:25] And I think they were keeping

[00:18:26] A really sort of like

[00:18:27] Tight grasp on this movie

[00:18:29] To make it like a twist movie

[00:18:31] Like audiences weren't going to know

[00:18:33] What they were going to see

[00:18:35] Yeah, they were definitely playing on the

[00:18:37] Like this is the guy who made

[00:18:39] The big twist movie that was a scary movie

[00:18:41] This is the poster

[00:18:42] You guys know the poster, right?

[00:18:43] Yes, I do

[00:18:44] I do

[00:18:45] It's intense

[00:18:46] It's intense

[00:18:47] And Sam Jackson is like a big deal

[00:18:49] You know, he's not like he is now

[00:18:51] Or he's just seen everything

[00:18:53] Well, he had just been in

[00:18:54] Star Wars Episode 1

[00:18:55] Sure

[00:18:56] So he was huge

[00:18:57] But yes, but he was a little less

[00:18:59] He was wearing purple again

[00:19:00] Which is key

[00:19:01] He loves purple

[00:19:02] So now he's in all purple

[00:19:03] And you're like

[00:19:04] They've really upped the ante of this movie

[00:19:05] The purple is off the charts

[00:19:07] This movie's going all out

[00:19:08] They're not just going to give him

[00:19:09] A fucking light sword

[00:19:10] You know, I feel like now Sam Jackson

[00:19:12] He'll be in a lot of movies

[00:19:13] Back then it was like

[00:19:14] He was a leading man

[00:19:15] Like a coast

[00:19:16] Like he'd be in rules of engagement

[00:19:18] The negotiator

[00:19:19] Sphere

[00:19:20] Like those sort of like

[00:19:21] You know, Sam Jackson's one of your leads

[00:19:23] He does a lot now

[00:19:24] He's like, ubiquitous

[00:19:25] Like presence in the Marvel movies

[00:19:27] Make some feel like

[00:19:28] It's easy to take him for granted

[00:19:29] Cause it's like

[00:19:30] Well, he just can pop up in a bunch of shit

[00:19:31] And do like a scene or two

[00:19:32] Also the Capital One commercials don't help

[00:19:34] Cause it just feels like anytime you turn on a screen

[00:19:36] Sam Yljaksen's doing a little something

[00:19:39] So it's like

[00:19:40] The same thing over and over

[00:19:41] But he's sometimes good

[00:19:43] He's the best

[00:19:44] Sometimes Capital One

[00:19:45] Yeah

[00:19:46] He rock

[00:19:47] But you know

[00:19:48] Our friend

[00:19:49] And your podcasting co-host

[00:19:51] David Erlich

[00:19:52] In this recent Oscar season

[00:19:54] He's been talking a lot about Sam Yljaksen

[00:19:55] How much we're underrated as a culture

[00:19:57] And I do think

[00:19:58] It is because he is so omnipresent

[00:20:00] Yeah, it's cause he does a lot

[00:20:01] And he's so consistent

[00:20:02] Like he's never bad

[00:20:04] No, I agree with that

[00:20:05] Sometimes you're like

[00:20:06] Okay, I've seen this before, I get it

[00:20:07] Yeah

[00:20:08] But if that was the first performance

[00:20:09] You'd ever seen from a guy

[00:20:10] You'd be like

[00:20:11] Sometimes it's like Kingsman

[00:20:12] And you're like

[00:20:13] Oh, so his whole idea was a lisp

[00:20:14] Like

[00:20:15] I think that's a great performer

[00:20:16] I think he's very funny in Kingsman

[00:20:17] I don't know if he's

[00:20:18] Why I like that movie

[00:20:19] He would have made my long list

[00:20:20] Best Supporting Actor Candidth

[00:20:21] For 2015

[00:20:22] Wow

[00:20:23] He'd probably be my 10th choice

[00:20:25] For Best Supporting Actor in 2015

[00:20:27] I think there's other Samuel L. Jaksens

[00:20:29] From this year

[00:20:31] I'd say that one was Lee

[00:20:32] I think it's maybe his third best performance

[00:20:34] Of 2015

[00:20:36] Age of Ultron

[00:20:38] No, I'm sure Shai-Rak

[00:20:40] He's incredible

[00:20:41] Shai-Rak, he's incredible

[00:20:42] Yes, but that's Lee

[00:20:43] That's Lee

[00:20:44] I put him

[00:20:45] I do a double number

[00:20:46] Anyway

[00:20:47] We're side track

[00:20:48] Anyway

[00:20:49] Another thing to point out here

[00:20:50] Bruce Willis and Samuel Jaksen

[00:20:52] Together have a great track record at this point

[00:20:54] Right, Die Hard with a Vengeance

[00:20:56] And Pulp Fiction

[00:20:57] And Loaded Weapon 1

[00:20:59] Oh yeah

[00:21:00] We're classic so far

[00:21:02] You know

[00:21:03] So that's what people are coming in thinking

[00:21:05] They got the loaded weapon

[00:21:07] We had loaded weapon 1

[00:21:08] They shared no scenes in Pulp Fiction

[00:21:11] Did they share a scene in Pulp Fiction?

[00:21:13] No, they don't

[00:21:14] I don't think they ever cross over

[00:21:15] Yeah

[00:21:16] And then yeah, you've got

[00:21:17] The other one

[00:21:18] We had just

[00:21:19] Die Hard with a Vengeance

[00:21:20] Die Hard with a Vengeance

[00:21:21] It's a great end

[00:21:22] Yeah, they are great

[00:21:23] They're both great together

[00:21:24] Great chemistry

[00:21:25] So that's all you know going into this movie

[00:21:28] That's enough

[00:21:29] That's a sell

[00:21:30] So let's talk about the movie

[00:21:32] Unbreakable Griffin

[00:21:33] Okay

[00:21:34] So I love this film at the time of its release

[00:21:37] For a very long time

[00:21:38] I would watch this film at least once a year

[00:21:40] I had not seen this film

[00:21:42] I think since 2010

[00:21:45] So this is like the longest stretch I've gone

[00:21:47] Without seeing this movie

[00:21:48] Okay

[00:21:49] I had not seen it since theaters

[00:21:51] I mean Matt, we're talking about it

[00:21:52] I've probably seen it on DVD or something

[00:21:54] Maybe in college again

[00:21:56] But yeah, not since...

[00:21:58] No memory

[00:21:59] Yeah

[00:22:00] No recent memory

[00:22:01] I was going into this rewatch

[00:22:02] I watched it last night

[00:22:04] Yes, Chef Dan

[00:22:05] And I was going into it

[00:22:08] Prepared to come here and say

[00:22:10] Hey, disclaimer

[00:22:13] If I can't be really objective about this

[00:22:15] This is one of my favorite movies

[00:22:17] It is of all the movies we've ever covered on this show

[00:22:20] The movie I like them

[00:22:21] Uh-huh

[00:22:22] Which considering we've covered a lot of movies that we don't like

[00:22:24] Doesn't sound like it

[00:22:25] Wait, but including like the original Star Wars movies?

[00:22:26] That's what I was going to say

[00:22:27] That's what I was going to say 100%

[00:22:29] That's nuts

[00:22:30] This rewatch diminished a little

[00:22:32] Yeah, yeah, it's a flawed movie

[00:22:34] It's a flawed movie

[00:22:35] Seriously flawed movie

[00:22:36] It's not better than Star Wars

[00:22:38] Exactly

[00:22:39] From 2000 to 2010

[00:22:41] Griffin would argue that this film was perfect

[00:22:44] Right

[00:22:45] I don't know how to any complaints I'd be like

[00:22:46] You are dumb

[00:22:47] I think a lot of people agree with you

[00:22:48] Because what I remember

[00:22:49] You know, I haven't seen the movie in a very long time

[00:22:51] But I feel like I hear about it every few years

[00:22:53] Because either M. Night is being asked about a sequel

[00:22:56] Or, you know, I feel like MTV mounted an entire campaign

[00:23:00] To like actually ignite sequel plans and stuff

[00:23:03] Yes

[00:23:04] Apparently Bruce Willis wanted to do a sequel too

[00:23:06] He would talk about like

[00:23:07] Yeah, we want me and Sam to fight

[00:23:09] And like see episode two

[00:23:10] Of course he wants to do a sequel

[00:23:11] It's an action movie

[00:23:12] Quote-a-quote

[00:23:13] With no moving around

[00:23:14] Perfect for him

[00:23:15] This is the moment

[00:23:17] It's very true

[00:23:18] Well, but much like Georgie Porgy Lucas

[00:23:21] Or our old friend with the original Star Wars

[00:23:23] Where when he was writing Star Wars in 1977

[00:23:25] When he was writing in the early 70s

[00:23:27] Oh my God, what's your point?

[00:23:28] In 1977, he wrote this big thing

[00:23:29] And they were like, this script is unwieldy

[00:23:31] And he was like, okay

[00:23:32] I'm gonna take act one of this script

[00:23:34] And make it into a movie

[00:23:35] So that's what I'm...

[00:23:36] Okay, I'm pretty cool as certainly

[00:23:37] Yeah, it's just an origin movie

[00:23:38] Was supposed to be

[00:23:39] That was supposed to be act one of the film

[00:23:40] And he was like, this is too big

[00:23:41] I have too many ideas

[00:23:42] I'll try to make it a trilogy

[00:23:43] I'm just gonna take what is my planned act one

[00:23:45] And make that the whole script

[00:23:47] And at the time for years

[00:23:49] I was so angry that he never got to make the other film

[00:23:51] That's the other big shift I had watching it this time

[00:23:53] I was like, no good thing

[00:23:55] He probably only made this one

[00:23:56] Yeah, well...

[00:23:58] I still love this movie

[00:23:59] But A, I think we would have

[00:24:01] Had diminishing returns

[00:24:02] I don't really trust him

[00:24:03] To have made the second film well

[00:24:05] And B, like at the point

[00:24:07] Where you make the sequel as much as it's like

[00:24:09] Come on, get to the action

[00:24:10] It's like, won't it just then be like Blade II?

[00:24:12] Well, yeah, I'm trying to think of

[00:24:13] Who would be the villains in Unbreakable 2

[00:24:15] Based on how, like, muted

[00:24:17] Right, unbreakable is

[00:24:19] That's the thing, like...

[00:24:20] This movie is muted at every turn

[00:24:22] That's what we have to talk about

[00:24:23] Every time that it makes a choice

[00:24:25] It makes the choice to be muted

[00:24:27] And dark and slow

[00:24:29] Like unsatomably, glacially slow

[00:24:32] Yeah, but I think sad's a big word

[00:24:34] Because I think this film's very depressed

[00:24:35] In a way I relate to

[00:24:37] Sad? But that implies

[00:24:38] That there's a lot of emotion to these scenes

[00:24:40] Which I would say it's muted

[00:24:42] Muted, everything is very muted

[00:24:44] I'm not saying like it's emotionless per se

[00:24:46] But it's just not over the top

[00:24:48] Sad, if you know what I'm...

[00:24:50] You know, like no one's crying

[00:24:52] Well, you know, mostly

[00:24:54] Bob and Wright cries

[00:24:56] And Bruce Willis, like,

[00:24:58] Chokes up a lot, like Bruce Willis has

[00:25:00] Several glassy-eyed moments in this one

[00:25:02] This is maybe the most he's come close

[00:25:04] To crying in one film

[00:25:05] Yeah, it's more like crying

[00:25:06] You're smelling a lot of onions or something

[00:25:08] It's not quite crying because you're upset

[00:25:10] He cries a lot

[00:25:12] I'm gonna bring it up again, 12 Monkeys

[00:25:14] The scene where he listens to

[00:25:16] Blueberry Hill on the radio

[00:25:18] In 12 Monkeys, the best Bruce Willis scene

[00:25:20] In any Bruce Willis

[00:25:22] Like in terms of his acting and that

[00:25:24] That's wonderful

[00:25:25] I always forget the 12 Monkeys are good

[00:25:26] 12 Monkeys, I've watched it like a million times

[00:25:28] Because there's a movie I own on VHS

[00:25:30] So I just, you know, one of the...

[00:25:32] Back in the day, pre-Netflix

[00:25:34] Time to watch cop out again

[00:25:36] We talked about cop out with Katie

[00:25:38] What a movie!

[00:25:40] I think we're gonna talk about it every episode

[00:25:42] Even now we're out of...

[00:25:44] Let's talk about Bryce a little more

[00:25:46] So at this point

[00:25:48] Bryce Willis

[00:25:50] I saw a Stella Live show

[00:25:52] Like 10 years ago

[00:25:54] Where they went on this rant

[00:25:56] Where they were like, oh, and

[00:25:58] And they just did like 4 minutes

[00:26:00] Of calling him Bryce Willis

[00:26:02] And eventually 4 minutes and they paid off

[00:26:04] Like, yeah, you think it's so cool

[00:26:06] You're gonna make us all call you Bryce now?

[00:26:08] Fuck you, we're gonna call you Bruce

[00:26:10] They invented a nickname for him

[00:26:12] And then tag-anized him for throwing it upon us

[00:26:14] Bryce Willis

[00:26:16] At this point, it feels like jokes aside

[00:26:18] Like, okay, this is the deniro

[00:26:20] Scorsese of

[00:26:22] Touchstone thrillers

[00:26:24] Yeah, it's Bruce now

[00:26:26] Right, but he's gonna make Bruce movies now

[00:26:28] And this script feels

[00:26:30] Even if you had the script already

[00:26:32] Re-fitted it

[00:26:34] Retailered it to Bruce

[00:26:36] Cause we were saying last week

[00:26:38] Bruce Willis' performance is very good in a 6 out

[00:26:40] But also, it's not a classic Bruce Willis character

[00:26:42] No

[00:26:44] You know why he's cracking

[00:26:46] And this doesn't have any wise cracking either

[00:26:48] No, nobody cracks wise for

[00:26:50] The 106 minute running time

[00:26:52] Not once

[00:26:54] I fucking love this performance

[00:26:56] I know I have a feeling I'm not gonna have

[00:26:58] No, I think he's alright

[00:27:00] I don't think he has a lot to do

[00:27:02] He's a pawn here for the mood

[00:27:04] It's all the mood

[00:27:06] I think that he's okay

[00:27:08] He's good

[00:27:10] Well, Quentin Tarantino agrees with you

[00:27:12] Really?

[00:27:14] Tarantino loves this movie

[00:27:16] Tarantino says this is one of the best movies released in his

[00:27:18] Like since 92, since he started making movies

[00:27:20] And he says it's Bruce Willis' best performance

[00:27:22] Yeah, I mean I'm almost inclined to agree with that

[00:27:24] I also think maybe Quentin

[00:27:26] Should re-watch and see if he dimensions a little

[00:27:28] I just want to re-watch

[00:27:30] I went down a little

[00:27:32] Cause I used to think this movie was flawless and now I just

[00:27:34] I wear the flawless

[00:27:36] This movie is not flawless, but what it is is meticulous

[00:27:38] And like very

[00:27:40] There's a lot of intent in every

[00:27:42] The way he frames all these shots

[00:27:44] To look like these sort of comic book frames

[00:27:46] And like I don't know

[00:27:48] The way he very slowly builds up

[00:27:50] It's not even a mystery

[00:27:52] I guess it's an art, like this myth

[00:27:54] Right?

[00:27:56] You can see that like

[00:27:58] You can admire the intent of that

[00:28:00] It is a controlled movie

[00:28:02] But hello

[00:28:04] Come on guys, can we talk?

[00:28:06] Like a human level of discourse here

[00:28:08] Well don't you think that the movie is

[00:28:10] We should back all the way up

[00:28:12] We touched at it before, but the opening title

[00:28:14] Card

[00:28:16] Is this absolute nonsense

[00:28:18] About comic book collection

[00:28:20] It's a Wikipedia entry like a sidebar

[00:28:22] And a Wikipedia page

[00:28:24] To whatever that is setting up

[00:28:26] Like someone about comic books

[00:28:28] About, I mean

[00:28:30] The movie gets into that a little bit

[00:28:32] Elijah's theme is about like how comic books

[00:28:34] Shape us or how they inform what we think of

[00:28:36] As heroes

[00:28:38] And the sense that there's some sort of connection to our past about what we're keeping

[00:28:40] That has nothing to do with fandom

[00:28:42] That has nothing to do with comic book collecting

[00:28:44] And how many you will read or collect if you're obsessed with comic books

[00:28:46] It more seems like Shyamalan being like

[00:28:48] Comic books are a serious business guys

[00:28:50] And you should take that seriously

[00:28:52] It is like the end of the 90s I guess

[00:28:54] And nobody thinks of like comic book movies

[00:28:56] This is November 2000 X-Men had come out

[00:28:58] Four months earlier

[00:29:00] And surprised everyone with like being a pretty decent movie

[00:29:02] That was a success

[00:29:04] The first X-Men is, you know, looking back at now

[00:29:06] Especially with how much

[00:29:08] Shifts shifted to second

[00:29:10] Looking back at it now it is fucking charming as shit

[00:29:12] Oh I love the first X-Men

[00:29:14] Because it's like there's like four characters

[00:29:16] Nothing happens in that movie too

[00:29:18] It's kind of the unbreakable of the current comic book wave

[00:29:20] X-Men is pretty austere

[00:29:22] It's slow, it's moody

[00:29:24] It's pretty like

[00:29:26] Dramatically like, you know, emotionally

[00:29:28] Over-raw

[00:29:30] And the big plan is like Magneto's gonna get in like a little platform

[00:29:32] He built on a park near the city

[00:29:34] And he's gonna

[00:29:36] Shoot some rays

[00:29:38] The Statue of Liberty

[00:29:40] You know the Statue of Liberty from Ghostbusters too

[00:29:42] Yeah, she's a great actress

[00:29:44] Got a lot of range

[00:29:46] Sometimes you can hang out in her torch and sometimes you can dance down the street

[00:29:48] Oh my

[00:29:50] Wait, let's talk about the opening of this movie

[00:29:52] So you've got that right?

[00:29:54] Go ahead

[00:29:56] I think you saying that he was unhappy with the advertising campaign

[00:29:58] Is interesting because I wonder

[00:30:00] If that opening title card was in

[00:30:02] The script originally

[00:30:04] Or if after he saw they were advertising it

[00:30:06] As a thriller

[00:30:08] He was like, I want to get the audience primed for

[00:30:10] See it feels like the original idea

[00:30:12] David put my hand down

[00:30:14] It feels like the original idea

[00:30:16] That was then transformed into the movie he made afterward

[00:30:18] Which is more like

[00:30:20] Six cents

[00:30:22] Because you can imagine a more comic

[00:30:24] Booky version

[00:30:26] If the whole movie was the first act of something

[00:30:28] Right, right, yes

[00:30:30] A man with a hammer for a hand or something

[00:30:32] Hammer hand

[00:30:34] That's who's the original villain

[00:30:36] Doctor Hammer Hand

[00:30:38] He could just beat the shit out of Mr. Glass

[00:30:40] I mean we'll get to this

[00:30:42] I'm your arch enemy

[00:30:44] That's why there can't be a satisfying sequel

[00:30:46] That's why the film has to end where it does

[00:30:48] I mean he had, I guess Mr. Glass is just like

[00:30:50] A Luther type, you know, like villain

[00:30:52] From, you know, the background, right

[00:30:54] Well that's what they say at the end of the movie

[00:30:56] Maybe he gets a really big strong guy to carry him around

[00:30:58] Like baby Voldemort

[00:31:00] Or he's like Crang in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

[00:31:02] Like he's operating

[00:31:04] He hangs out in someone's belly

[00:31:06] The Glass suit

[00:31:08] So the movie opens with those titles

[00:31:10] Then we have like Mr. Glass'

[00:31:12] Moment, which is his birth

[00:31:14] It is, it's really

[00:31:16] You can swear or do it

[00:31:18] Fuck

[00:31:20] Yeah, it's really horrific

[00:31:22] I think it's really well done

[00:31:24] I think it's Aiman Walker

[00:31:26] He's a great actor

[00:31:28] He plays the doctor

[00:31:30] And like you don't really see the baby

[00:31:32] Like doesn't look disfigured or anything

[00:31:34] But just the whole mood of it is like

[00:31:36] Really creepy that all the babies

[00:31:38] I wanted to see Glass' baby

[00:31:40] Is that weird?

[00:31:42] I just wanted to like, I wanted to pick up this baby to be a puddle

[00:31:44] Like a hanging, like a gack

[00:31:46] I wanted it to look like a gack

[00:31:48] With kind of some bones around it

[00:31:50] Like baby, we gotta put this back together

[00:31:52] I feel like that would come with like a he-man toy

[00:31:54] It was like you get a bucket of slime and it had bones

[00:31:56] Like stuck into it, like little plastic bones

[00:31:58] Yeah the unbreakable toyline actually had that

[00:32:00] It was purple gack with bones in it

[00:32:02] With bone shards

[00:32:04] That was the Mr. Glass action figure

[00:32:06] Um, merchandise spotlight

[00:32:08] Um, this entire sequence

[00:32:10] Is done in one continuous shot

[00:32:12] With no edits

[00:32:14] Oh really? Yeah

[00:32:16] This film from the get go

[00:32:18] M Knights getting showy

[00:32:20] It's very showy with, like what I was saying

[00:32:22] With the framing of every shot and go on

[00:32:24] Yes, well he perpetually

[00:32:26] Over the course of the film

[00:32:28] Frames the characters into

[00:32:30] Frames within the frames

[00:32:32] To resemble comic book panels

[00:32:34] So there are a lot of scenes that are

[00:32:36] Frames or windows

[00:32:38] Or even the thing on the train

[00:32:40] Where it's only seen from between the two chairs

[00:32:42] Which is cool

[00:32:44] Very cool, but he's separating characters into

[00:32:46] Separate boxes which is, you know

[00:32:48] Often his films are about people who need to learn

[00:32:50] How to reconnect with other people

[00:32:52] That's like the main I feel like

[00:32:54] Over-arching theme of M. Night Shyamalan's films

[00:32:56] Is like emotionally repressed men

[00:32:58] Who feel the need to reconnect with their spirituality

[00:33:00] With their family, with their career

[00:33:02] Whatever it is, they have to find their connection

[00:33:04] To be self isolated for a while

[00:33:06] There's all that sort of framing stuff

[00:33:08] But it's a lot of like, this movie does not have many edits

[00:33:10] A lot of sequences play out in just a couple shots

[00:33:12] And he's not doing like

[00:33:14] Shot reverse shot

[00:33:16] He's doing like, here's my master

[00:33:18] And I might cut into punch into one detail

[00:33:20] To emphasize it

[00:33:22] But other than that it's very slow

[00:33:24] Well there's nothing to like cut to

[00:33:26] Because nothing happens in the movie

[00:33:28] So it's not even need an insert

[00:33:30] Because there are no props

[00:33:32] Even something like the Sixth Sense

[00:33:34] And the puncher, but he wears it

[00:33:36] So you always get that

[00:33:38] Sixth Sense which is also

[00:33:40] Pretty methodical and deliberate

[00:33:42] Within dialogue scenes

[00:33:44] He'll cut between two close-ups

[00:33:46] No, no, I agree with you

[00:33:48] It's somewhat showy and I love that

[00:33:50] I mean, I don't love it too strong

[00:33:52] But I think the train scene is

[00:33:54] Suspenseful in a cool kind of way

[00:33:56] Where even though it is like

[00:33:58] It's creep hitting on this lady

[00:34:00] It's not a great way to be introduced

[00:34:02] To Bruce Willis as Eric there

[00:34:04] That tells me a lot

[00:34:06] But there is a lot of suspense

[00:34:08] What is going to happen here?

[00:34:10] It's not cutting and where you know

[00:34:12] The movie is very suspenseful

[00:34:14] Just because you have no idea where

[00:34:16] You can't really on the edge of your seat

[00:34:18] Because of something internally with the movie

[00:34:20] But even I'm thinking after the train wreck

[00:34:22] He's sitting on the hospital

[00:34:24] And then the blood is spreading

[00:34:26] On the gauze in front of him

[00:34:28] And like the sort of

[00:34:30] Yeah, and that's another frame within a frame

[00:34:32] Where we're seeing someone get operated on

[00:34:34] In the foreground out of focus

[00:34:36] What is this?

[00:34:38] That is how I feel about most

[00:34:40] Where you're like, I love it

[00:34:42] And I guess that's fulfilling

[00:34:44] If you can pay off and not really

[00:34:46] You can stick the landing in some way

[00:34:48] All of that mystery is valuable

[00:34:50] Yeah, I mean that's why I'm so surprised

[00:34:52] That he wanted the marketing campaign

[00:34:54] To reveal that it was a superhero movie

[00:34:56] And we've functions on this sort of

[00:34:58] Idea that the audience has no idea

[00:35:00] Where it's going on a scene to scene basis

[00:35:02] What kind of film it is

[00:35:04] Even

[00:35:06] And even watching it now it's still

[00:35:08] We fucking, we've seen it before

[00:35:10] But it still does feel like

[00:35:12] There's such an air of unease

[00:35:14] Even if spooky things are happening

[00:35:16] Unease is a good certainly way to put it

[00:35:18] But look at these three opening sequences

[00:35:20] Right?

[00:35:22] And you are also like, this is the sixth sense move

[00:35:24] Oh yeah, what you gonna do?

[00:35:26] Yeah, is Misha Barton gonna show up again

[00:35:28] And barf all over everyone?

[00:35:30] That'd be such a good twist if every film had

[00:35:32] Misha Barton barfing on somebody

[00:35:34] And he had to just keep going to it

[00:35:36] Even this Misha Barton's career creators

[00:35:38] He's like, Misha, we're getting you in

[00:35:40] There was a point where she would have gotten the and

[00:35:42] Where she had gotten big

[00:35:44] And they would have had to put her above the title

[00:35:46] And then there's a point where he's like

[00:35:48] I'm doing as a favor, Misha's been there with me

[00:35:50] Since the early days

[00:35:52] Cinematically, it's a director being like

[00:35:54] Okay, I'm gonna fucking use my tricks now

[00:35:56] And we've always talked about

[00:35:58] Well also being like, I have your attention

[00:36:00] Yeah

[00:36:02] Right, I'm gonna lead you down

[00:36:04] You gotta follow me now

[00:36:06] Just based on my name, like here I have the title card

[00:36:08] No Marvel executive would allow

[00:36:10] Any of the artistry

[00:36:12] That's the thing that's most fascinating

[00:36:14] So he has that title card written

[00:36:16] Produced and directed by M. Night Shyamal

[00:36:18] I just screen shot at it just because it just amuses me

[00:36:20] Yeah

[00:36:22] Right over Bruce Willis' face

[00:36:24] Sleepy Bruce Willis

[00:36:26] All three of these sequences are show

[00:36:28] We've talked a lot about how Shyamalan

[00:36:30] But there's no train crash, like we don't see a train crash

[00:36:32] We've talked a lot about how Shyamalan was

[00:36:34] Like a child of Spielberg

[00:36:36] And I feel like Spielberg's

[00:36:38] Strongest skill as a filmmaker

[00:36:40] The thing that I think puts him over

[00:36:42] The edge is that he is ingenious with blocking

[00:36:44] Like he knows how to block scenes

[00:36:46] And block characters within a frame

[00:36:48] And you know

[00:36:50] Sync the camera movements

[00:36:52] With character movements and everything

[00:36:54] So there is an economy of shots

[00:36:56] He can tell as much as he possibly can

[00:36:58] Within the fewest number of shots possible

[00:37:00] And action informs character

[00:37:02] Moving informs character from all of that

[00:37:04] And this is like him doing

[00:37:06] That to like the nth degree

[00:37:08] Like really kind of cramming in your face

[00:37:10] Where the opening thing with the baby being born

[00:37:12] He uses like there's a mirror against the wall

[00:37:14] Yeah

[00:37:16] So it's like the other

[00:37:18] Her coworkers are standing in the door frame

[00:37:20] The doctor walks in

[00:37:22] He's going between the mirror and flipping the camera around

[00:37:24] So he can like get both people's responses

[00:37:26] In one shot because they're facing the same direction

[00:37:28] It's something you don't see today

[00:37:30] Because we don't make these

[00:37:32] Medium budget

[00:37:34] Movies anymore where you have enough money

[00:37:36] And enough time to compose and light

[00:37:38] But then you know

[00:37:40] It's either now he's making low budget movies

[00:37:42] He would never be able to do this

[00:37:44] And you'll never have the artist

[00:37:46] And this movie is beautifully lit

[00:37:48] Shot by Eduardo Cera

[00:37:50] A great one of the greats

[00:37:52] The main character of this movie is James Newton Howard's music

[00:37:54] Music is terrific

[00:37:56] And I think very thought through

[00:37:58] I think they wanted it like let's make this moody superhero score

[00:38:00] Here's the thing I remember distinctly

[00:38:02] Because the unbreakable soundtrack is kind of my jam

[00:38:04] I listen to it all the time

[00:38:06] And when I'm trying to like pump myself up

[00:38:08] And feel like a hero and like I'm going to save my marriage

[00:38:10] I listen to the unbreakable score

[00:38:12] He gave the script to James Newton Howard

[00:38:14] Before they started filming

[00:38:16] And asked him to write themes

[00:38:18] So that he could work sequences

[00:38:20] Knowing emotionally what the music was going to play like

[00:38:22] So I believe James Newton Howard had

[00:38:24] The Mr. Glass theme

[00:38:26] And the Mr. Poncho theme

[00:38:28] Set and he was like okay

[00:38:30] These are my James

[00:38:32] Yeah, unless you're Poncho it's his name

[00:38:34] You know that thing where they say like

[00:38:36] You know whatever

[00:38:38] You see your first interact with sexuality

[00:38:40] Is like a child that forms you in some way

[00:38:42] Where is this going?

[00:38:44] You know what I'm saying it like ties into

[00:38:46] Like oh like this person

[00:38:48] The first person you saw naked was a red head

[00:38:50] So you like red heads or feet or whatever

[00:38:52] I didn't know they said that but okay sure

[00:38:54] There's something of a formative experience

[00:38:56] And now I

[00:38:58] Shave my genitals

[00:39:00] Based off of Bruce Willis

[00:39:02] My point is I was watching this movie

[00:39:04] And I was like God this movie does almost everything

[00:39:06] I like cinematically

[00:39:08] It's like I like a minimum of

[00:39:10] Edits you know I like camera movement

[00:39:12] Block all this sort of

[00:39:14] The style of the film is very much

[00:39:16] How I like films to be directed

[00:39:18] Is that because you saw Unbreakable in the young age?

[00:39:20] That's what I wonder because I feel like at 11

[00:39:22] At 11 right like I'm like

[00:39:24] Oh director like Tim Burton is clearly

[00:39:26] A director because all his characters look the same

[00:39:28] You know?

[00:39:30] When you're 11 and you're like trying to identify like

[00:39:32] Okay what makes a director a director when I'm watching a movie

[00:39:34] And I can't see the director

[00:39:36] He's around their eyes he's a director

[00:39:38] I get the through line between all his movies

[00:39:40] You know? And like Joe Dante

[00:39:42] I was like obsessed with small soldiers

[00:39:44] I was like okay he makes movies about little things that terrorize big people

[00:39:46] A tour

[00:39:48] Right? Like those were like my favorite director

[00:39:50] Oh he is he's one of my favorite directors still

[00:39:52] But those were like two guys who jumped out to me in early age

[00:39:54] It's like okay I'm seeing like through lines

[00:39:56] And then M. Night Shyamalan I was like

[00:39:58] I'm seeing cinematic language

[00:40:00] In like a very basic way as like an 11 year old

[00:40:02] I was like this movie is clearly directed

[00:40:04] To like that scene where he's speaking to the doctor

[00:40:06] The fact that it's like

[00:40:08] Do you see a lot of repetition

[00:40:10] Not just in well

[00:40:12] It's not repetition but he obviously

[00:40:14] Evolved from six cents to here and it's more

[00:40:16] Composed and it's more

[00:40:18] I think also trusted himself

[00:40:20] But I think he repeats himself

[00:40:22] For a little this movie like trying to

[00:40:24] Mirror six cents like the whole gun scene

[00:40:26] When his son pulls a gun I'm like

[00:40:28] Wait this is exactly

[00:40:30] Watching it again it's exactly what happens in the opening of six cents

[00:40:32] Yeah a lot of just like the walking around

[00:40:34] Billy and that kind of stuff

[00:40:36] Which I like that stuff better

[00:40:38] But yeah I mean and I also

[00:40:40] I think to see where the doctor is a little obnoxious

[00:40:42] Where it's like

[00:40:44] It's well done but at a certain point you're like

[00:40:46] Okay we get it the train

[00:40:48] Crash he's not injured you know the doctor's like

[00:40:50] And you're sure you were on this part of the train

[00:40:52] And then you're sure

[00:40:54] And there's one person who survived and he's

[00:40:56] Right there out of the blood guy

[00:40:58] Yeah that's the other survivor and he's dead now

[00:41:00] Dead now dead he doesn't say those

[00:41:02] But I also think are you unbreakable

[00:41:04] Are you unbreakable dude

[00:41:06] And then they let him go

[00:41:08] Yeah he just walks out of oh you're unbreakable actually

[00:41:10] But see ya

[00:41:12] I do kind of like the idea where the doctor's like

[00:41:14] Well nothing wrong with you

[00:41:16] I guess you could go

[00:41:18] Like it looks

[00:41:20] I really like it where there's like

[00:41:22] Something out of focus in the foreground

[00:41:24] Or characters who are speaking are in the background

[00:41:26] The foreground detail just looks like a compositional thing

[00:41:28] And then as it goes on it's like oh no wait that's an important detail

[00:41:30] But you do

[00:41:32] That's called twist making

[00:41:34] Twist

[00:41:36] It's a pretzel shop this movie

[00:41:38] I'm saying I do think this film established

[00:41:40] A lot of what I like in filmmaking

[00:41:42] In a weird way like watching this again

[00:41:44] I was like oh this is sort of the Rosetta Stone

[00:41:46] For me where like I was able to identify

[00:41:48] Like oh that's a very conscious choice

[00:41:50] To like cover

[00:41:52] With a mirror so that you can get both people

[00:41:54] In one shot

[00:41:56] And then I was like oh that's a nice book

[00:41:58] Does it feel like this is a science

[00:42:00] And I've now replicated

[00:42:02] I've taken parts from all the

[00:42:04] Hitchcock and Spielberg

[00:42:06] And taken all these parts and made this amalgamation

[00:42:08] That's using comic book language

[00:42:10] To speak to a contemporary audience

[00:42:12] I think so to a degree

[00:42:14] I said in our first episode

[00:42:16] And I want to keep on using this phrase

[00:42:18] I think he's a very algorithmic filmmaker

[00:42:20] You know in terms of trying to get audience response

[00:42:22] But also he just has

[00:42:24] A good sense of technical craft

[00:42:26] And of film language

[00:42:28] I think we have made that point

[00:42:30] But he is definitely cribbing from the great

[00:42:32] And I also feel like this movie

[00:42:34] As great artists do

[00:42:36] I feel like this movie was him going like

[00:42:38] Okay I'm just gonna show him all the shit I can do

[00:42:40] Let me do a bunch of cool stunts

[00:42:42] This is his Channing Tatum pony moment

[00:42:44] Right, exactly

[00:42:46] He's doing all the moves

[00:42:48] Damn Emily!

[00:42:50] But in a movie that is so like

[00:42:52] I'm now a picturing M. Night Thrust

[00:42:54] M. Night just doing the

[00:42:56] Not even the full dance, I'm just picturing M. Night

[00:42:58] Fully dressed in a bedroom by himself just thrusting

[00:43:00] Um

[00:43:02] This is a film that is so emotionally bottled that is so

[00:43:04] Asteer and he's doing like backflips

[00:43:06] In like you know

[00:43:08] The language of the thing

[00:43:10] Cause the movie, I said glacial before

[00:43:12] We get it at the start, he's unbreakable

[00:43:14] This is the thing, the movie spends

[00:43:16] Bruce Willis character has to spend so much time

[00:43:18] Like confronting the reality of this

[00:43:20] Even though he was in a fucking train crash

[00:43:22] And they're all dead and he doesn't have a scratch out of

[00:43:24] I love that, don't you think

[00:43:26] In real life if that happened to you

[00:43:28] You'd be like what the fuck, you'd have a really hard time accepting it

[00:43:30] I think the movie is convincing but I mean he gets

[00:43:32] I think he's like have I ever been sick

[00:43:34] And she's like I can't remember

[00:43:36] I think it would last few years

[00:43:38] It would be more momentum to understanding

[00:43:40] Why this would happen to you

[00:43:42] Like I'm unbreakable

[00:43:44] What the hell, yeah yeah yeah

[00:43:46] I mean I would be punching walls or some shit

[00:43:48] I guess one of the

[00:43:50] One of the things that the movie

[00:43:52] Does to sort of combat that is like he walks back

[00:43:54] Into his life and you realize like oh god

[00:43:56] This is a guy who's like basically having a midlife crisis

[00:43:58] Right

[00:43:59] His job is like he's a security guard

[00:44:01] And he doesn't know what to do and like

[00:44:03] I'm unbreakable but my emotions are so susceptible

[00:44:06] They are in charge

[00:44:08] A lot of similarities

[00:44:09] You know his wife is basically gonna leave him maybe

[00:44:11] His kid, I mean there's something wrong with that

[00:44:13] That buddy, sorry Spencer Tree Clark

[00:44:15] But weird looking dude

[00:44:17] Was that Ben laughing at that?

[00:44:19] Yeah, that was Ben laughing

[00:44:21] Spencer Tree Clark is like a zombie in this movie

[00:44:23] He's got like the blackest

[00:44:25] Like Bobby Durstie

[00:44:26] You know what he looks like?

[00:44:27] He actually looks like Haley Jolosman

[00:44:29] But in that scene in AI where he's

[00:44:31] Where he's melting

[00:44:32] Yeah it's not in his face

[00:44:33] And I'm like

[00:44:34] God that scene's so creepy

[00:44:35] Whoa

[00:44:36] Yeah he does

[00:44:38] But he also like

[00:44:40] He just he's always shooting

[00:44:42] Bruce this like vacant stare

[00:44:44] Yeah

[00:44:45] You know of this like

[00:44:47] Like are you a superhero?

[00:44:49] All these weights

[00:44:50] All of them

[00:44:52] Could I speak to the lifting scene?

[00:44:54] Yeah cause I mean that's basically the next big thing

[00:44:57] Right I mean I guess Bruce talks to Mr. Glass

[00:45:00] We have all these scenes of Mr. Glass

[00:45:02] You know like a comic books

[00:45:05] The covers are important

[00:45:07] Yeah that's where he yaps at the customer

[00:45:10] His gallery is quite funny

[00:45:11] Killed me as a child

[00:45:13] There's also the scene

[00:45:15] They are art

[00:45:17] Do you see an Asian child with a blank expression

[00:45:19] Outside and a little rocket ship

[00:45:21] That jiggles when you put in a quarter

[00:45:23] Vibrates when you put in a quarter

[00:45:24] No cause this is not a toy store

[00:45:26] And then he talks to Bruce Willis

[00:45:27] He's like you're a superhero

[00:45:28] And Bruce Willis is like okay well you're crazy

[00:45:30] And then he lifts

[00:45:31] So Ben you want to talk about the lifting scene

[00:45:32] He lifts like 300 pounds

[00:45:33] 350 pounds

[00:45:34] Something crazy

[00:45:35] I just feel like that was such a tame scene

[00:45:38] Like there were so many opportunities

[00:45:40] To do like a fun mob top

[00:45:42] Like the movie just suddenly kicks into a fun montage

[00:45:46] Yeah like having to lift up a car with the sun

[00:45:49] And they're laughing and they go to the zoo

[00:45:51] And he lifts up an elephant

[00:45:52] So Ben you wanted this to be

[00:45:55] Just a totally different movie

[00:45:57] Is what you're saying

[00:45:58] Yeah I mean I can't what can I say

[00:45:59] I have big ideas

[00:46:00] They could be lifted by Bruce Willis

[00:46:03] And I'm breakable

[00:46:04] That scene is another scene

[00:46:06] Like we are talking about where like

[00:46:07] You know where he's keeping the camera

[00:46:09] Away from the weights themselves

[00:46:11] And spends a treat Clark

[00:46:13] He's like popping off screen

[00:46:14] And then coming back on

[00:46:16] And he lifts it and he's like

[00:46:17] Oh you put more on didn't you

[00:46:18] Which like Bruce Willis

[00:46:19] Like turn your head from left to right

[00:46:20] You know come on like

[00:46:21] But he's seeing what we can see

[00:46:23] Maybe we all OD'd on twists

[00:46:26] From M. Night in this movie

[00:46:27] Because there's a lot of little twists

[00:46:29] Like a little twist

[00:46:30] Well okay we're missing

[00:46:31] You skipped over a big part

[00:46:32] There's a flashback to him as a little boy

[00:46:34] He's framed in the television set

[00:46:36] He's inside a little isolated frame right

[00:46:38] His mom comes up

[00:46:39] He has a broken arm and a cast

[00:46:41] This is Mr. Glass

[00:46:42] Yeah when he gets

[00:46:43] Right

[00:46:44] And she leaves a comic book across the street

[00:46:45] His name is Elijah Price

[00:46:47] I think this is his actual name

[00:46:48] Yes

[00:46:49] She leaves a comic book across the street

[00:46:51] And he has to go across the street to get it

[00:46:52] And he opens it up

[00:46:53] And it's the camera twist

[00:46:54] And it's clear like a big revelation moment

[00:46:56] She goes there'll be one of these here

[00:46:57] Every morning

[00:46:58] If you're brave enough

[00:46:59] To go across the street

[00:47:00] So that do you know what I'm going to say now

[00:47:01] I hope you're going to quote the next line

[00:47:03] Yeah

[00:47:04] And then she goes

[00:47:05] I'm getting giddy here

[00:47:06] I hear this one has a surprise ending

[00:47:10] So he's already playing with the expectations

[00:47:12] Of being like

[00:47:13] I know you guys think I'm going to fucking do that

[00:47:15] I'm on my channel

[00:47:16] And you guys know

[00:47:17] You guys know that I'm on my channel

[00:47:18] And we should also talk about

[00:47:19] He's planting the seed

[00:47:20] I mean we're going to spoil Unbreakable

[00:47:22] Yeah

[00:47:23] Just FYI

[00:47:24] Yeah

[00:47:25] I'm listening to a breakable podcast right now

[00:47:26] He's planting the seeds

[00:47:27] I think in Elijah's first meeting

[00:47:28] With

[00:47:29] What is Bruce Willis' character

[00:47:30] David

[00:47:31] David Dunn

[00:47:32] I know all these characters

[00:47:33] Right off the top of my head

[00:47:34] Where he says

[00:47:35] Some of my best friends

[00:47:36] You know

[00:47:37] There was a fire in a hotel

[00:47:38] Million billion people died

[00:47:39] Yeah

[00:47:40] And then there was

[00:47:41] What was the other accident

[00:47:42] There was the

[00:47:43] The hotel fire

[00:47:44] There was a plane crash

[00:47:45] Didn't the building plane crash

[00:47:46] That was the hotel fire

[00:47:48] That's the hotel fire

[00:47:49] There's a plane crash

[00:47:50] Yeah

[00:47:51] And 800 gazillion people died

[00:47:54] And then there was a train crash

[00:47:56] And you sort of

[00:47:57] I waited for the news

[00:47:58] After all these accidents

[00:47:59] For one very specific set of words

[00:48:01] How do you know he's been

[00:48:02] One survivor

[00:48:03] And he's miraculous

[00:48:04] I'll tell you why

[00:48:05] Is someone from Philadelphia

[00:48:06] We're all

[00:48:07] Yeah, come on

[00:48:08] If someone's gonna be fucking on break

[00:48:09] Well they're gonna be from Philly, right?

[00:48:11] Well at the reveal at the end

[00:48:13] I mean not to jump ahead too much

[00:48:14] But I just want to say

[00:48:15] We're under news clippings from like

[00:48:17] Disasters all over the world

[00:48:18] There are news clippings from everywhere

[00:48:19] But I think you're not supposed to think

[00:48:21] That he's responsible for everything

[00:48:22] He was paying attention to this

[00:48:23] Or like

[00:48:24] He's the Philly wing

[00:48:25] Of the Disaster Makers Corporation

[00:48:27] Specter

[00:48:28] Yeah he's not

[00:48:30] It is very specter

[00:48:31] It's like

[00:48:32] Ah crisis in Malaysia

[00:48:33] Ooh dictator is assassinated in Myanmar

[00:48:35] I am the architect of all of you

[00:48:37] Natural disaster

[00:48:41] So in the scene in the office

[00:48:42] Where he's explaining all this to him

[00:48:43] Behind him is a big like

[00:48:46] Egyptian tabloid

[00:48:48] Yeah like yeah

[00:48:49] Of like hieroglyphs

[00:48:50] And then like paintings of like

[00:48:51] The Virgin Mary

[00:48:52] Like all these different artifacts

[00:48:53] From like history

[00:48:54] And I was like

[00:48:55] Oh that's kind of clever

[00:48:56] It's like

[00:48:57] This is the through line in history

[00:48:59] Of like how we tell stories

[00:49:00] And myth and how these things

[00:49:01] Well he says that

[00:49:02] Okay and then he said it

[00:49:03] I forgot that he had the line of dialogue

[00:49:05] I'm so smart

[00:49:06] Look at me look at me at the back of the thing

[00:49:07] It was so annoying to me

[00:49:08] It was so annoying to me

[00:49:09] Oh wait out there it is

[00:49:10] Cause I forgot he had the line of dialogue

[00:49:11] And I was like

[00:49:12] Yeah I was like

[00:49:13] Nice directing M. Knight

[00:49:14] And then he felt the need to

[00:49:15] Literally name off everything on the wall

[00:49:17] And it was like

[00:49:18] Just fucking trust yourself a little more

[00:49:19] He's not a subtle writer

[00:49:20] And I don't need him to be

[00:49:21] That moment just drove me a little crazy

[00:49:22] No I agree with you

[00:49:23] Because it's like

[00:49:24] You're doing the work

[00:49:25] You don't have to give us

[00:49:26] The answers afterwards

[00:49:27] Okay

[00:49:28] Okay

[00:49:29] But then there's the bench pressing scene

[00:49:30] Right which I love

[00:49:31] It's a good scene

[00:49:32] It's again really tense

[00:49:33] Would you agree Matt?

[00:49:35] Like we were saying about the train scene

[00:49:37] Like it's just tense

[00:49:38] Cause you're like

[00:49:39] What the

[00:49:40] You know it's so foreboding

[00:49:41] And like oppressively dark

[00:49:44] Yeah you just feel the movie clenching

[00:49:46] Yeah it's a clench move

[00:49:47] And you feel the

[00:49:48] Like that

[00:49:49] You feel the weight of it

[00:49:50] I was gonna say

[00:49:51] Yeah cause like

[00:49:52] It's not like Bruce Willis is just like

[00:49:53] You know yeah

[00:49:54] Balancing these on the end of his pinky

[00:49:56] Like it's hard but he can do it

[00:49:58] And you get the sense of like something

[00:50:00] Little squeezing

[00:50:01] Right you get the sense of something

[00:50:02] Like building up that maybe like this

[00:50:04] You know like it's like the start

[00:50:05] Of an evolution

[00:50:07] What's also

[00:50:08] I love that it's not just like

[00:50:09] Oh he can suddenly lift up anything

[00:50:10] It's like

[00:50:11] Elijah Kelly

[00:50:13] Elijah Price

[00:50:14] Elijah Kelly was the star of

[00:50:15] Harrisburg and the Wiz Live

[00:50:17] Elijah Price says to him

[00:50:20] A.K. Mr. Glass

[00:50:21] You know when he goes to the

[00:50:23] Stadium with him

[00:50:25] And he is able to identify

[00:50:26] The guy as a gun

[00:50:27] And he's like

[00:50:28] Have you ever tried developing this ability

[00:50:29] What the fuck are you talking about

[00:50:30] Sure right

[00:50:31] And the weightlifting sequence is sort of like

[00:50:33] Oh maybe there isn't a cap on how

[00:50:35] Strong he can be

[00:50:36] But he still would have to build it up

[00:50:38] Not like you'd have to build up muscle

[00:50:39] Right he needs a training montage

[00:50:40] Right he can't literally just pick up

[00:50:42] A building right now

[00:50:43] He needs to like

[00:50:44] Matt you're talking about

[00:50:45] Yeah that's exactly

[00:50:46] Well actually I found this more

[00:50:48] Satisfying than

[00:50:49] Taking to the limit

[00:50:50] I thought about the

[00:50:52] Spider-Man

[00:50:54] Like origin

[00:50:55] Yes

[00:50:56] I have powers seen

[00:50:57] Yeah

[00:50:58] This is much more fulfilling

[00:50:59] Watching someone go through the like

[00:51:01] Slow process

[00:51:03] Of learning

[00:51:04] But also what you said

[00:51:05] We should also say

[00:51:06] This is an origin movie before

[00:51:07] There had been a lot of them

[00:51:08] Yeah

[00:51:09] So you know we're not quite as tired

[00:51:10] At least in 2000

[00:51:11] Of seeing this play out

[00:51:13] Where we're like we get it he has powers

[00:51:14] Let's get to the new thing

[00:51:15] Come on

[00:51:16] I'm actually thinking

[00:51:17] Had there been any origin stories

[00:51:18] Because Batman 89

[00:51:19] Already Batman Superman

[00:51:20] Superman sort of

[00:51:21] They do major flashbacks

[00:51:23] There's like a brief

[00:51:24] Like he lifts up the car

[00:51:25] When he's a baby

[00:51:26] Well there's no learning power

[00:51:27] He's like I can already run

[00:51:28] In high school

[00:51:29] I know that I'm so good

[00:51:30] Right and X-Men has like

[00:51:31] You know the singer movie

[00:51:32] Has like a brief like rogue

[00:51:35] Origin

[00:51:36] Yeah rogue is the closest

[00:51:37] Into an origin in the film

[00:51:38] But it's not

[00:51:39] I thought rogue knows

[00:51:40] That if she touches people

[00:51:41] She's just on the road because

[00:51:42] No but there's

[00:51:43] A flashback to her kissing

[00:51:44] Boy

[00:51:45] Remember that's the sort of first

[00:51:46] Thing where she's kissing a boy

[00:51:47] And then he sucks

[00:51:48] So sad

[00:51:49] He sucks

[00:51:50] She sucks the life out of him

[00:51:51] But he sucks too

[00:51:52] He also sucks

[00:51:53] That guy's a fucking basic bit

[00:51:54] That guy's a basic bit

[00:51:56] As you said

[00:51:57] You actually feel the weight

[00:51:59] In this scene

[00:52:00] And this was another thing

[00:52:02] Oh Matt said that

[00:52:03] Both of you said both of you

[00:52:04] Well say he touched on it

[00:52:06] And then I am like

[00:52:07] Shyamalan did

[00:52:08] And I was like

[00:52:09] I'm just gonna say this

[00:52:10] I'm gonna tell you what's going on

[00:52:11] In the background

[00:52:12] There is weight in the weight scene

[00:52:13] Weight in the weight scene

[00:52:14] I as an 11 year old

[00:52:15] In this movie

[00:52:16] Was a breakthrough for me

[00:52:17] In a number of ways

[00:52:18] Cause this is also like

[00:52:19] A quote unquote adult movie

[00:52:20] About like still little boy stuff

[00:52:22] I was interested in

[00:52:23] It's like oh it's a superhero movie

[00:52:24] It's not like a serious drama

[00:52:25] So I was like

[00:52:26] I feel like an adult watching this

[00:52:27] I do remember distinctly

[00:52:29] And it stuck out to me

[00:52:30] Even this time

[00:52:31] Like oh this doesn't feel

[00:52:33] Like a movie scene

[00:52:34] This feels like real life

[00:52:35] In that like

[00:52:36] These clearly aren't dummy weights

[00:52:37] I'm not saying they were making him

[00:52:38] Lift an actual 500 pounds

[00:52:40] But he's lifting something

[00:52:41] His face turns totally red

[00:52:42] While he's doing it

[00:52:43] There's like a big vein

[00:52:44] Popping out of his forehead

[00:52:45] You know like

[00:52:46] He's like really

[00:52:47] You feel the pressure of it

[00:52:48] Bruce Wallace is like giving it

[00:52:50] And this movie felt like very

[00:52:53] One could argue

[00:52:54] I wouldn't

[00:52:55] But it seems like you guys

[00:52:56] Lie on this side of the Rio Grande line

[00:52:58] A couple times in this film

[00:53:00] Go on

[00:53:01] You know a

[00:53:02] Little too concerned with process

[00:53:04] Yeah

[00:53:05] With slowly delving into every moment

[00:53:07] But I'm a sort of detail obsessed guy

[00:53:09] And as a kid I was like

[00:53:10] Yeah I just want to watch them

[00:53:11] Put on 10 pounds at a time

[00:53:12] Like I like all of that

[00:53:14] I don't think that's the slow part for me

[00:53:16] What starts bothering me

[00:53:17] Not this scene specifically

[00:53:18] I'm saying that's the principle

[00:53:19] Is when

[00:53:20] He's like

[00:53:21] I've never been

[00:53:22] Sick

[00:53:23] Or I was the slow growth of the revelation

[00:53:25] So the whole thing is

[00:53:26] Was he injured in a car crash

[00:53:28] That caused him to not be

[00:53:30] A professional football player

[00:53:31] Right because that's what

[00:53:32] The kid tells Elijah that

[00:53:33] He's like well he was in a car crash

[00:53:35] Like you know

[00:53:36] That's strike one

[00:53:37] Right and well we know

[00:53:38] That he faked it back then

[00:53:39] And he knows that he faked it

[00:53:41] Back then

[00:53:42] So hey

[00:53:43] You are a superhero dude

[00:53:44] And you know it

[00:53:45] And this is the thing

[00:53:46] Shaman is trying I guess

[00:53:48] To sell us on the idea

[00:53:49] That he's somehow repressed all of this

[00:53:51] Right like that he's somehow

[00:53:52] Just kind of like

[00:53:53] Ignored the fact that he's always sick

[00:53:55] I never

[00:53:56] He's always sick

[00:53:57] No that he's never been sick

[00:53:58] That yeah that he

[00:53:59] Pretended to hurt himself

[00:54:01] To fall in love with his wife

[00:54:02] I guess or what you know

[00:54:04] Like football

[00:54:05] And uh

[00:54:07] I guess that's it

[00:54:09] And then there's the water thing

[00:54:11] Comes in like really late

[00:54:12] The thing is a tile that comes in late

[00:54:13] Yeah

[00:54:14] Two things about the water thing

[00:54:15] One

[00:54:16] Why does this happen again in science

[00:54:18] Two successive movies

[00:54:19] M.I.Hates water

[00:54:20] Shyamalan really has a problem with water

[00:54:21] I'll tell you

[00:54:22] I'll tell you what

[00:54:23] From Philadelphia

[00:54:24] We in Philly

[00:54:25] Most people say

[00:54:26] Water

[00:54:27] Water

[00:54:28] Water does not happen

[00:54:29] In

[00:54:30] Unbreakable

[00:54:31] Very interesting

[00:54:32] But I wonder if M.I. Shyamalan

[00:54:33] Hates water

[00:54:34] Water

[00:54:35] Because he says water

[00:54:36] And everyone in Philly says water

[00:54:37] And he's like

[00:54:38] Fuck you

[00:54:39] So it's a meta commentary

[00:54:40] Stop saying water

[00:54:41] Yeah and no one

[00:54:42] Don't need to be

[00:54:43] Scrap all that in this movie

[00:54:44] Yeah

[00:54:45] Tell them how

[00:54:46] You guys ask for Italian ice

[00:54:48] Water ice

[00:54:49] Water ice

[00:54:50] Water ice

[00:54:51] I'm not Philly enough

[00:54:52] I will say

[00:54:53] Well I was gonna say

[00:54:54] There are no hoagies in this movie

[00:54:55] There are no scrap

[00:54:56] There's no scrapple

[00:54:57] There's no iggles

[00:54:58] Yeah but he loves these city streets

[00:54:59] Pat or geno

[00:55:00] Pat or geno

[00:55:01] There's no baggles

[00:55:02] Philadelphia is like a character

[00:55:03] In this film

[00:55:04] You know

[00:55:05] I do like when I see a filmmaker

[00:55:06] Who clearly is attached to their home

[00:55:09] There's a certain affection

[00:55:10] You can see with just how they shoot

[00:55:11] Like a basic street corner

[00:55:13] Like I do watch this movie

[00:55:14] But he's not going to like

[00:55:15] Different parts of Philly

[00:55:16] He's going to kind of rich person

[00:55:18] Philly

[00:55:19] I mean I guess there's some

[00:55:20] In the neighborhood that they're

[00:55:21] I'm not saying he makes Philadelphia look great

[00:55:23] But I do see like a familiarity there

[00:55:24] Where it's like this guy knows Philadelphia

[00:55:26] He's shooting Philadelphia

[00:55:27] Like he knows these streets

[00:55:28] He knows some of the streets at Philly

[00:55:30] I just think it's a little weird

[00:55:31] That the music in this movie

[00:55:33] Ends up having like a beat

[00:55:35] Yeah I hate that

[00:55:36] As if it's more street or something

[00:55:38] That starts getting offensive to me

[00:55:39] And like a misunderstanding of Philadelphia

[00:55:41] They use it in the very opening

[00:55:43] Like the opening credits they use like the beat

[00:55:45] There should have been a rap part

[00:55:46] And then it drops out

[00:55:47] There should have been

[00:55:48] God

[00:55:49] God

[00:55:50] Oh god

[00:55:51] Imagine a Bruno

[00:55:52] Remember Bruce Wilson a couple albums

[00:55:54] His return to Bruno

[00:55:55] Where he was playing that harmonica

[00:55:57] He could have done like a sort of like

[00:55:59] Scat over

[00:56:00] Just waiting this out

[00:56:01] The unbreakable theme

[00:56:03] Unbrun

[00:56:04] Who would have done the unbreakable

[00:56:06] Rap in 2000

[00:56:07] Someone from the Wu-Tang Clan

[00:56:08] They fucking love superheroes

[00:56:09] Like you know the Rizzer or something

[00:56:11] Cisco would have done was

[00:56:13] Called the Glass Song

[00:56:15] Anyway

[00:56:16] Let me break that glass

[00:56:18] Negative 10 points

[00:56:20] Least funny joke of all time

[00:56:22] I'm gonna have to actually cut that out

[00:56:24] No keep it in but dock me 10 comedy points

[00:56:26] So

[00:56:27] Wait well so then there's this scene

[00:56:29] Where we were talking about like where

[00:56:31] Elijah thinks that

[00:56:32] David like has ESP or whatever

[00:56:34] And can like sense that there's a gun

[00:56:36] He chases after this

[00:56:37] He's got Spidey's sense

[00:56:38] It's the slowest chase scene

[00:56:40] Then ensues

[00:56:41] You know David's like

[00:56:42] I don't know I don't even get him

[00:56:43] He doesn't even get him

[00:56:44] David's just like

[00:56:45] I thought that guy might have had a gun

[00:56:46] And the guy walks away

[00:56:47] You know David does security at

[00:56:49] What's the stadium?

[00:56:50] Franklin Field

[00:56:51] Franklin Field

[00:56:52] Which is like the U-Pen

[00:56:53] It's the oldest football field in America

[00:56:55] Really

[00:56:56] Yeah

[00:56:57] And that's cool

[00:56:58] That's a cool like location

[00:57:00] Like I like those scenes

[00:57:01] Yeah well like you guys were saying

[00:57:03] I think two episodes ago

[00:57:05] He just has a knack for locations

[00:57:07] Yeah he's got good sense

[00:57:09] And I even like when Elijah goes into his car

[00:57:11] Before he sees the guy walking out and chases him

[00:57:13] The car's all padded like leather

[00:57:15] Which is like oh okay practical concern of course

[00:57:18] Like he's got this vintage car

[00:57:19] And it's full of like padded

[00:57:21] Like it looks like an insane asylum

[00:57:23] Because it like okay if it crashes

[00:57:25] He's got a you know

[00:57:26] Yeah right he's got this crazy yeah yeah yeah

[00:57:28] But it also does look like a great super villain

[00:57:30] Like mobile

[00:57:31] Like it's like

[00:57:32] It does

[00:57:33] Mr. Glass' pillow car

[00:57:34] You know

[00:57:35] But wait

[00:57:36] I would have bought that

[00:57:37] The Kenner like yeah pillow car

[00:57:39] But I want to

[00:57:41] It's chasing

[00:57:42] It's the best scene in the movie

[00:57:43] I mean maybe

[00:57:44] No it's a good scene

[00:57:45] That's the best scene in the movie

[00:57:46] No but it's a good scene

[00:57:47] It's a good scene

[00:57:48] The thing where he walks after a guy

[00:57:49] And you're still like digging your

[00:57:51] Fucking hands into it

[00:57:52] Because they do a good job selling

[00:57:54] That Samuel L. Jackson can't fall down

[00:57:56] Like before he falls down

[00:57:57] You're already like this guy can't fall down

[00:57:59] That's not good

[00:58:00] Yeah he fucking broke bones in the womb

[00:58:01] Motherfucker

[00:58:02] And he's like walking after this guy

[00:58:03] And yeah he chases him down some subway stairs

[00:58:05] Falls his glass canes shatters

[00:58:07] Do we see Mr. Glass on the floor after that?

[00:58:10] Yeah we see him kind of upside down almost

[00:58:12] Because he gets that

[00:58:13] He should have been like

[00:58:14] I know

[00:58:15] He tore it over

[00:58:16] Knot it up and broke it

[00:58:17] Jackson

[00:58:18] She was literally

[00:58:19] Jackson who I will say has a very unique

[00:58:21] Like scream

[00:58:22] You know

[00:58:23] And he has the scream in Revenge of the Sith

[00:58:25] You know like that

[00:58:26] Wow

[00:58:27] He does that scream

[00:58:29] That sells

[00:58:30] That's him selling the bones I think

[00:58:32] And of course he does catch a glimpse

[00:58:34] I think I had the gun that Bruce Willis

[00:58:36] Like that's the final

[00:58:37] And then Bruce Willis goes like 50% chance

[00:58:39] Most guns we ever saw before

[00:58:40] Which is nonsensical

[00:58:41] Come on Bruce

[00:58:42] Come on David

[00:58:43] This does feel like another moment where he's like

[00:58:45] Explaining the hieroglyphs behind the head

[00:58:47] Where it's like

[00:58:48] Oh Mr. Glass falls over

[00:58:49] And then his glass cane falls over

[00:58:50] And you hear the bones crack

[00:58:52] And then you see the glass shatter

[00:58:54] He's made of glass

[00:58:55] Oh they're the same

[00:58:56] He and the cane are one

[00:58:58] They are but one David

[00:59:00] Yeah

[00:59:02] Oh

[00:59:06] But then he becomes a superhero at some point

[00:59:08] Right then what happened

[00:59:09] I was gonna say

[00:59:10] So there's this stretch in the like

[00:59:12] It sort of sets up all the bits

[00:59:14] The third of four acts basically

[00:59:16] Is him just

[00:59:17] Hanging out with his family right

[00:59:18] Because Mr. Glass goes into rehab

[00:59:20] And meets his wife

[00:59:22] Whoa did he plan it

[00:59:24] Yeah he was like

[00:59:25] His wife is like a physical therapist

[00:59:27] Yeah perfect

[00:59:28] And that's where he puts together

[00:59:30] A somewhat leading dialogue scene

[00:59:32] Yeah oh he faked the football

[00:59:34] Accident injury thing

[00:59:36] I should put that together

[00:59:37] Because he realizes she hates football

[00:59:39] That's when the movie comes to a halt

[00:59:41] I mean I guess I'm kind of into Robin Wright

[00:59:43] She's good

[00:59:44] And loving

[00:59:45] She's good

[00:59:46] Going on a date that's cute

[00:59:47] And this isn't her really

[00:59:48] It's the first date they have to start over

[00:59:50] The date scene is okay

[00:59:51] Although it really reminded me

[00:59:52] Of the sixth sense date scene

[00:59:54] Where he's a ghost

[00:59:55] It's a very similar plot line

[00:59:56] Yeah it really is

[00:59:57] Also it's dimly lit

[00:59:58] It's golden in the background

[01:00:00] It looks exactly same

[01:00:01] She might be wearing red

[01:00:02] I don't know

[01:00:03] You know what he said last week

[01:00:04] That like sixth sense doesn't really do right

[01:00:06] By Olivia Walens because

[01:00:07] By the nature of the twist

[01:00:08] She doesn't get to have scenes

[01:00:09] Where she interacts with people

[01:00:10] Yeah this movie feels like a mea culpa

[01:00:12] But to a different actress

[01:00:13] A little bit

[01:00:14] He's like I'm gonna make another movie

[01:00:15] About a marriage on the rocks

[01:00:16] But this time the woman has agency

[01:00:17] Because she's not

[01:00:18] Not speaking to somebody

[01:00:19] I mean if you remember

[01:00:20] This is what Robin Wright was kind of

[01:00:22] Not doing much

[01:00:23] No

[01:00:24] You know she had just kind of

[01:00:25] Stopped doing big stuff

[01:00:26] Like you know she'd had her

[01:00:27] Forest gump like sort of you know

[01:00:29] And then like

[01:00:30] That was five years earlier

[01:00:31] Yeah I mean

[01:00:32] And she was sort of out of it

[01:00:33] She did what

[01:00:34] Is she lovely

[01:00:35] What was that movie called

[01:00:36] Yeah she's so lovely

[01:00:37] She's in Hurley Burley

[01:00:38] And Message in a Bottle

[01:00:39] But like you know

[01:00:40] Yeah but she was mostly

[01:00:41] I think Raisin Family

[01:00:42] Yeah this was her family moment

[01:00:44] This is before I think she

[01:00:45] Anyway we're not gonna speculate

[01:00:47] Like where she started working a lot

[01:00:48] That whole stretch of the movie

[01:00:49] Is when it gets like

[01:00:50] Even more emotional

[01:00:51] Because it's about the family

[01:00:53] That's the gun

[01:00:54] The kid pulls the gun scene out

[01:00:55] I hate that scene

[01:00:56] That scene's the worst scene

[01:00:57] I would say

[01:00:58] You like that scene

[01:00:59] To me that scene is like

[01:01:00] Is him over playing his hand

[01:01:02] After like considering the tone

[01:01:04] And pacing the movie

[01:01:05] Well I just think

[01:01:06] This is the moment when the movie

[01:01:07] Is supposed to get fun

[01:01:08] Like oh wait

[01:01:09] He is a superhero

[01:01:11] Right

[01:01:12] Right and no

[01:01:13] It's gonna get even more

[01:01:14] Durgical

[01:01:15] That's something

[01:01:16] I never wanted this movie

[01:01:17] To get fun

[01:01:18] I wanted to get more and more sad

[01:01:19] Every scene I wanted to get

[01:01:20] Sadder and sadder

[01:01:21] I mean let's

[01:01:22] Because what I like about

[01:01:23] I do like it when it gets

[01:01:24] Quote unquote fun

[01:01:25] Which is when he's like

[01:01:26] Alright I'm gonna put on this poncho

[01:01:27] Yeah

[01:01:28] I'm gonna go just

[01:01:29] Rub up against people

[01:01:30] And just change strangers

[01:01:31] That scene is

[01:01:32] The grouper

[01:01:33] Disturbing

[01:01:34] The grouper

[01:01:35] It is

[01:01:36] Where he's seeing everyone's

[01:01:37] Like dark secrets

[01:01:38] People are getting raped

[01:01:39] People are getting murdered

[01:01:40] Yeah

[01:01:41] There's the racial slur

[01:01:42] There's the one where

[01:01:43] They break a bottle over a woman's head

[01:01:44] And they go

[01:01:45] Go back to Africa

[01:01:46] Yeah yeah

[01:01:47] It's a little on the nose

[01:01:48] But it's a

[01:01:49] It's cool conception of a character

[01:01:51] Who like

[01:01:52] You know almost like

[01:01:53] A Christ like way

[01:01:54] Like feels all of our sins

[01:01:55] And our pain

[01:01:56] His superpowers kind of empathy

[01:01:57] Yeah

[01:01:58] And absorbing our sins

[01:02:00] I also

[01:02:01] And there's water

[01:02:02] There's water

[01:02:03] Um

[01:02:04] That scene is when they bring back

[01:02:05] The fucking techno beat

[01:02:06] Which drives me crazy

[01:02:07] Cause I love the score so much

[01:02:09] The opening credits

[01:02:10] The Matrix has just come out

[01:02:11] You know

[01:02:12] The electronic music

[01:02:13] Let's get it in the

[01:02:14] Poncho here

[01:02:15] Yeah

[01:02:16] But the rest of the score

[01:02:17] Is so fucking good

[01:02:18] It is

[01:02:19] It's a great score

[01:02:20] James come on

[01:02:21] James Newtie House

[01:02:22] So that's a 30th street station

[01:02:23] Or whatever

[01:02:24] Yes it is

[01:02:25] I mean that's a pretty cool

[01:02:26] It's a great location

[01:02:27] Great location

[01:02:28] And it's really

[01:02:29] He does a good job

[01:02:30] Framing him there

[01:02:31] I think

[01:02:32] I like that

[01:02:33] That's the best

[01:02:34] I'm not sure what time of day it is

[01:02:35] Because it's always

[01:02:36] It's the magic hour

[01:02:37] It's the opposite of the

[01:02:38] Shadow

[01:02:39] Daytime

[01:02:40] He took the night part

[01:02:41] Of his name very literally

[01:02:42] And he was like

[01:02:43] Okay people like

[01:02:44] M night movies

[01:02:45] These all have to look

[01:02:46] Even in the afternoon

[01:02:47] There's the one scene

[01:02:48] There's the one scene

[01:02:49] Where David walks by

[01:02:50] His son

[01:02:51] And the son's playing football

[01:02:52] And wants his dad to play football with him

[01:02:54] That's my favorite

[01:02:55] See the movie maybe

[01:02:56] Because that's actual emotion

[01:02:57] I know

[01:02:58] Oh I'm not a football player

[01:02:59] I'm not a shot in like

[01:03:00] Extreme distance

[01:03:01] Like you know David's like

[01:03:02] This dot

[01:03:03] Fucking background thing

[01:03:04] Yeah and here's like

[01:03:05] A big cool dude

[01:03:06] He's playing with the kids

[01:03:07] And he's like

[01:03:08] And it's the guy that

[01:03:09] The lady talked about

[01:03:10] On the train

[01:03:11] Right

[01:03:12] Twist

[01:03:13] I know

[01:03:14] That is so obnoxious

[01:03:15] That's the same as the

[01:03:16] Fucking hospital sequence

[01:03:17] Where you don't realize

[01:03:18] He's important until

[01:03:19] He's obnoxious

[01:03:20] But that's like

[01:03:21] Makes you know

[01:03:22] When the movie goes

[01:03:23] And everyone's like

[01:03:24] Mer in

[01:03:25] Fuck

[01:03:26] And like

[01:03:27] But here's

[01:03:28] I just missed out on my

[01:03:29] Football career

[01:03:30] I think that's more emotional

[01:03:31] For me

[01:03:32] Right and I'm not really

[01:03:33] Like

[01:03:34] I'm gonna lose my family

[01:03:35] My son pulls a gun on me

[01:03:36] Right I'm failing to

[01:03:37] Impress my kid

[01:03:38] You know what I really like

[01:03:39] I like that

[01:03:40] You know what I really

[01:03:41] Like in the gun scene

[01:03:42] I don't know if it's

[01:03:43] A perfect scene

[01:03:44] But it works for me

[01:03:45] The line I really like

[01:03:46] In the gun scene

[01:03:47] Is when Bruce Willis

[01:03:48] Is trying to talk him down

[01:03:49] And he goes like

[01:03:50] Yeah

[01:03:51] Sure

[01:03:52] He's so divorced from his family

[01:03:53] Don't shoot me

[01:03:54] Right he goes

[01:03:55] And friends don't shoot each other

[01:03:56] Right and she goes

[01:03:57] No no friends don't shoot

[01:03:58] Friends don't shoot

[01:03:59] Which I think is funny

[01:04:00] But I also

[01:04:01] I like the

[01:04:02] Use of the word friend

[01:04:03] That like

[01:04:04] He's so aware

[01:04:05] That he's so emotionally

[01:04:06] Distant

[01:04:07] That he's having a relationship

[01:04:08] With his son

[01:04:09] Is to be a friend to him

[01:04:10] Like it's not even like

[01:04:11] A dad

[01:04:12] He wants to like

[01:04:13] Feel like

[01:04:14] His kids also

[01:04:15] What is his setup

[01:04:16] So he is

[01:04:17] Was living in New York

[01:04:18] But he was like

[01:04:19] A job interview

[01:04:20] To try to get a job in New York

[01:04:21] And then he would move there

[01:04:22] Maybe like Madison Square Garden

[01:04:24] That's the idea

[01:04:25] Yeah you know

[01:04:26] No job in New York

[01:04:27] Is a step up from a job in Philly

[01:04:28] I'm here to tell you

[01:04:29] Wow sorry

[01:04:30] Patches thrown down

[01:04:31] What if it's working at a

[01:04:32] Water purifying station

[01:04:34] Water

[01:04:35] Water

[01:04:36] That'd have fallen

[01:04:37] Yeah

[01:04:38] Hockey plant

[01:04:39] So okay

[01:04:40] So then the

[01:04:41] Denny wanted this movie

[01:04:42] Much like the sixth sense

[01:04:43] This film has one big action

[01:04:44] Sequence and it is

[01:04:45] Not big at all

[01:04:46] It's like a very small set piece

[01:04:47] But it's exciting

[01:04:48] Yeah I mean again

[01:04:49] I remember at least in the

[01:04:50] Theatres I'm terribly tense

[01:04:51] Like yeah he follows this guy

[01:04:53] Who has like

[01:04:54] Chained a family to their radiators

[01:04:56] And M. Night goes there

[01:04:57] I mean he makes it so unsettling

[01:04:58] He's a janitor who loves family

[01:05:00] Yeah right

[01:05:01] There's that creepy scene

[01:05:02] Where he is at the door

[01:05:03] You see him at the door

[01:05:05] Being like

[01:05:06] Can I come in?

[01:05:07] Yeah

[01:05:08] And M. Night's kind of

[01:05:09] Doing the color thing there

[01:05:10] That was extra crazy

[01:05:11] Good job guys

[01:05:12] M. Night's doing the color

[01:05:13] Thing here where like

[01:05:14] The film is so desaturated

[01:05:16] That like Sam Jackson's purple

[01:05:18] Stick out but purple's like

[01:05:19] A darker deeper base color

[01:05:21] You know

[01:05:22] You have orange jumpsuit guy

[01:05:24] That's what I was going to say

[01:05:25] So even when he goes to the flashback

[01:05:26] And the guy isn't

[01:05:27] When he touches him and he sees the thing

[01:05:29] The guy isn't wearing the jumpsuit

[01:05:30] But he's got an orange shirt

[01:05:31] And like the rest of the image

[01:05:32] Is like black and white

[01:05:33] And you see the orange

[01:05:34] So it's like okay

[01:05:35] If you see a glimpse

[01:05:36] Of orange in the background

[01:05:37] You're going to get scammed

[01:05:38] No wonder I never wanted to wear colors

[01:05:39] As a kid

[01:05:40] I saw him breakable

[01:05:41] And I'm like

[01:05:42] Only the cool people

[01:05:43] Must desaturate

[01:05:44] True story

[01:05:45] I'm going to hear a color

[01:05:46] Until I saw this movie

[01:05:47] I used to wear all orange

[01:05:48] You're such a weird kid

[01:05:49] I'm a weird fucking kid

[01:05:50] What a weird orange

[01:05:51] Orange will change you

[01:05:52] Orange will change you

[01:05:53] You used to call me

[01:05:54] Mr. Orange

[01:05:56] So he follows

[01:05:57] The kids David

[01:05:58] He follows this janitor

[01:06:00] To this house

[01:06:01] Not even a Sam Jackson freshman

[01:06:02] This is old man

[01:06:03] Yeah

[01:06:04] Or he's tied up this whole family

[01:06:05] It's awful

[01:06:06] And he frees the family

[01:06:07] But you know

[01:06:08] Good on you M. Night

[01:06:09] For making it feel dramatic

[01:06:10] Like there's like a real steak here

[01:06:11] This isn't like

[01:06:12] And like stopping a burglary

[01:06:13] Right because it's true

[01:06:14] Like every Superman movie

[01:06:15] He's like great

[01:06:16] I'm Superman

[01:06:17] And then there's like a bank robber

[01:06:18] And he goes

[01:06:19] And he busts up the bank robber

[01:06:20] I'll punch the car

[01:06:21] And uh

[01:06:22] It's always the same

[01:06:23] Right the bank robber's like

[01:06:24] I'll shoot you with the gun

[01:06:25] That's my idea

[01:06:26] It doesn't work

[01:06:27] And he's like

[01:06:28] What

[01:06:29] I like that the thing he's stopping

[01:06:30] Is like the actual

[01:06:31] Like real evils in the world

[01:06:33] Like guys who will break into a house

[01:06:35] And chain a teenage girl

[01:06:36] To like a wall

[01:06:37] That's like

[01:06:38] These are the most unspeakable

[01:06:39] Like evil fucker

[01:06:40] We all agree

[01:06:41] We're all anti-chaining

[01:06:42] A teenage girl

[01:06:43] Like a hundred percent

[01:06:44] Definitely no way

[01:06:46] And if any of our listeners are doing that

[01:06:47] Let's say it formally cut it out

[01:06:49] Yeah

[01:06:50] And also don't

[01:06:51] Don't raid us on iTunes

[01:06:52] Because we don't like Sith Lords

[01:06:54] We don't like

[01:06:55] Orange jumpsuit villains

[01:06:56] Those that don't know that there are

[01:06:57] Orange jumpsuit villains

[01:06:58] Those are three big no-nos

[01:06:59] But so then there's this sequence

[01:07:01] Yeah the sequence

[01:07:02] Basically amounts to him being pushed

[01:07:04] Into a swimming pool

[01:07:05] Cool shot

[01:07:06] The overhead of him falling into the tarp

[01:07:08] Is the tarp

[01:07:09] Yeah and realizing

[01:07:10] Absorbing

[01:07:11] And then so he

[01:07:12] Is becoming one with the tarp

[01:07:13] Yeah

[01:07:14] Have we talked enough about the poncho?

[01:07:16] It's cool

[01:07:17] So he's got a poncho that's his work issue

[01:07:19] It says security at the back of it

[01:07:20] And security is almost like his hero name

[01:07:22] Exactly which is cool

[01:07:23] Yeah

[01:07:24] And

[01:07:25] And then

[01:07:26] Yeah he makes it like his uniform

[01:07:27] Like when he goes to the fucking

[01:07:28] Train station it's his uniform

[01:07:29] And then at this final sequence

[01:07:30] It's like

[01:07:31] It's a little obvious

[01:07:32] Like super-heroes wear capes

[01:07:33] What's a real cape?

[01:07:34] Oh poncho

[01:07:35] Cool

[01:07:36] But I was just like

[01:07:37] That it just makes him look like a shadow

[01:07:38] You know that's like

[01:07:39] Sure

[01:07:40] The whole thing he looks

[01:07:41] from like Harry Potter, and he's wearing a baseball cap over his eyes too.

[01:07:46] So he's just like all you see is that.

[01:07:47] It's like a real version of like a secret identity mask type hero.

[01:07:52] Sure.

[01:07:52] Like Matt said, like a caped hero.

[01:07:55] It's like a very low key, this movie's low key, low key, low key, not...

[01:07:59] No Avengers.

[01:08:00] Where is low key?

[01:08:01] Where is low key?

[01:08:02] He's on the sidelines.

[01:08:03] Should've been after the credits, twist, low keys.

[01:08:06] Low key's sitting on a throne.

[01:08:08] If this movie was like a huge hit do you think you would have seen like a bunch

[01:08:11] of kids that Halloween just wearing a poncho and their parents were like,

[01:08:13] thank god this is the cheapest costume ever.

[01:08:15] Was this movie not a hit?

[01:08:16] It was an okay.

[01:08:17] Well let's talk about that.

[01:08:18] Let's talk about the end of the film then.

[01:08:19] I think we need to talk about the reception a lot.

[01:08:21] Yeah so yeah you know yeah he gets pushed in but then the kids right pull him out

[01:08:25] of the water.

[01:08:26] He's saved which is nice.

[01:08:27] Yeah so I mean...

[01:08:28] What is that supposed to mean?

[01:08:29] I don't know.

[01:08:30] It's like water's his weakness but is that just literally like he can't swim?

[01:08:33] Is that how water's his weakness?

[01:08:34] Well he's drinking it and it's kind of like suffocating.

[01:08:37] Right.

[01:08:38] Well I guess it would probably hurt no matter who you are.

[01:08:40] It's an odd thing to be a weak but not any.

[01:08:44] Everyone is impervious to...no one is impervious to drowning.

[01:08:47] But maybe if it didn't hurt him he could like rip the tarp out pretty easily because he's

[01:08:51] strong.

[01:08:52] Right.

[01:08:53] It incapacitates his power.

[01:08:55] As Mr. Glass phrases it he says we both have the same weakness.

[01:08:59] It's water when we sip too much of it we choke.

[01:09:02] It fills up our lungs too fast.

[01:09:04] Why is Mr. Glass' problem with water?

[01:09:07] Because heroes and weaknesses have the same thing.

[01:09:09] You know what his other problem is?

[01:09:10] You don't get to see him drink water.

[01:09:11] Bones.

[01:09:12] He's got some problems.

[01:09:13] He's got a couple weaknesses.

[01:09:15] Bones.

[01:09:16] There's...

[01:09:17] Pretty sharp.

[01:09:18] Wait, I'm flat.

[01:09:19] Oh yeah and then he goes back and he takes this guy out.

[01:09:22] Music swells.

[01:09:23] He puts the guy in a sleeper hole.

[01:09:25] Right.

[01:09:26] The guy tries to like...

[01:09:27] Do you think he killed him?

[01:09:28] I don't know.

[01:09:29] Isn't there a news story about him getting arrested?

[01:09:30] Yeah I think he incapacitates him.

[01:09:32] Because there is some news story over the radio and like Spencer Tree Clark looks

[01:09:35] at David Dunne.

[01:09:36] It's the newspaper.

[01:09:37] And he like nods at him over the news thing.

[01:09:38] I guess I was just thinking like did David call the police after he put him in a

[01:09:42] chokehold?

[01:09:43] Because he does the woman who's on the radiator.

[01:09:46] She falls over.

[01:09:47] She's not going to call the police.

[01:09:48] The kids are away.

[01:09:49] Maybe he goes to the police.

[01:09:50] But do you leave two kids who were just chained up by this man in an orange jumpsuit

[01:09:52] with the orange jumpsuit man?

[01:09:54] No, he stayed with them.

[01:09:55] He watched them drag and tail.

[01:09:56] Because he went around and the police came.

[01:09:57] He bounced.

[01:09:58] Because the mother is also deceased.

[01:10:01] The mother's dead.

[01:10:02] The father's dead.

[01:10:03] It's three kids.

[01:10:04] The oldest one he seems to have been abusing sexually and the other two.

[01:10:08] The woman and the radiator is his daughter.

[01:10:11] I also used to think it was the mother but I realized this time in the newspaper had like

[01:10:14] that says mother and daughter, mother and father found dead three children alive toward

[01:10:19] her now.

[01:10:20] So he spins the newspaper around.

[01:10:23] Yes, he makes the dance on the wall.

[01:10:25] The music swells.

[01:10:26] I like that moment a lot because it's like he's doing it.

[01:10:28] He's fucking doing it.

[01:10:29] He's fucking doing it.

[01:10:30] Something's happening in this movie.

[01:10:32] And then he goes to meet Mr. Gloss at his gallery opening.

[01:10:36] Yeah.

[01:10:37] Gloss is like, well, son now knows that everyone's admitting that he's a superhero.

[01:10:40] His mom talks to him.

[01:10:42] Literally my favorite moment in the film.

[01:10:44] What?

[01:10:45] He comes home after saving those children.

[01:10:47] Sure.

[01:10:48] Corrective.

[01:10:49] And Romerite Penn is the same.

[01:10:50] And he picks her up from the bed and James Newton Howard plays a very sort of sprightly

[01:10:56] version of his theme.

[01:10:57] Just plucking the pias when he carries his wife back up to his bed for the first

[01:11:03] time they're going to sleep in the same bed together.

[01:11:05] Sure.

[01:11:06] And then he goes to the bed next to him.

[01:11:07] She goes, what's wrong?

[01:11:08] And he goes, I had a bad dream and they cuddle.

[01:11:09] It's nice because I like love David.

[01:11:12] Yeah.

[01:11:13] It's a nice moment.

[01:11:14] I like the hero theme plays over him carrying his wife because it's like this is the real

[01:11:17] heroic thing is restructuring his priorities and becoming a family man.

[01:11:22] The real heroic thing was saving.

[01:11:24] Yeah, you're right.

[01:11:25] He took out the jumpsuit.

[01:11:26] That was really good.

[01:11:27] That guy was no good.

[01:11:28] That guy was no good.

[01:11:29] He went into people's houses and killed them.

[01:11:30] I want to restate this.

[01:11:31] I don't like that guy at all.

[01:11:34] He is the worst person.

[01:11:35] The interesting thing about the movie is that he was trying to cuddle the guy in the orange

[01:11:38] jumpsuit also.

[01:11:39] Yeah, I had a bad dream.

[01:11:40] But it was an aggressive cuddle so he learned a lot.

[01:11:42] Yeah.

[01:11:43] Luckily Audrey didn't have to suffer the same thing.

[01:11:45] You take your first shot at something.

[01:11:47] Maybe it doesn't work out.

[01:11:48] You learn from your mistake.

[01:11:49] Yeah.

[01:11:50] So the first time we tried to cuddle Audrey, he accidentally put her in a sleeper hole

[01:11:53] and he was like, sorry, force of habit.

[01:11:54] I've been doing this all night.

[01:11:55] This is I'm the sleeper hole.

[01:11:57] Okay.

[01:11:58] So then he goes to Elijah has like a comic book gallery.

[01:12:02] This is the big.

[01:12:03] It's an opening of a new show.

[01:12:04] He talks to his mom who's played by Charlene Woodard.

[01:12:06] Good performance.

[01:12:07] Yeah, good actress and she has this whole I mean these monologues sometimes are just sort

[01:12:12] of like now it feels a little goofy where she's like there are villains who don't use strength.

[01:12:17] They use their intelligence.

[01:12:18] What are you trying to say?

[01:12:20] I'm like Shyamalan.

[01:12:23] And then Elijah is back in his evil like lair with computers and pipe bombs.

[01:12:29] Love it.

[01:12:30] You know news clippings on the wall like Ben said.

[01:12:33] Every natural disaster that ever happened and his get up looks more super villainy.

[01:12:37] Like his outfit is so like yeah.

[01:12:40] And we get to see him like conducting evil doer business.

[01:12:44] Right.

[01:12:45] Well he shakes his hand.

[01:12:46] He goes I think this is where we part ways.

[01:12:47] Let's shake hands.

[01:12:48] He shakes hands and then there's the immediate flashback to all the bad things he's done

[01:12:51] which is a terrible old man just divulging information about building for 40 years.

[01:12:57] You learn a lot of secret.

[01:12:59] Yeah, well like what?

[01:13:01] Like if someone lit this hotel on fire everyone would die.

[01:13:04] But you wouldn't do that would you?

[01:13:06] Promise me.

[01:13:07] Yeah.

[01:13:08] A lot of things where he walks away from a lot of people dying.

[01:13:11] Yeah, he set a hotel on fire.

[01:13:12] He blew up a plane or something.

[01:13:14] At least sabotage the plane.

[01:13:16] Yeah the plane blows up and everyone's freaking out behind him and he's just sitting there.

[01:13:19] Just waiting for someone to be like sir do you know what's happening?

[01:13:21] I'm made of glass.

[01:13:22] I can't get up.

[01:13:23] But also he didn't want to watch the explosion.

[01:13:25] Everyone else is facing in the same direction.

[01:13:26] He's got his back tank.

[01:13:27] Yeah.

[01:13:28] Because I know how it looks.

[01:13:29] He has a nice version of walking away from the explosion.

[01:13:32] And then Sam Jack gives a great model.

[01:13:36] He goes now that you know who you are, I know what I am.

[01:13:39] He does.

[01:13:40] Do you know what it's like to not know your places in the world?

[01:13:42] Sure he's like I'm feeling that.

[01:13:44] Right.

[01:13:45] I think I maybe know this entire speech by heart.

[01:13:47] But the big crux of it is he says you know and usually the hero, you know how

[01:13:51] you can always tell the villain is he's exact opposite of the hero and usually

[01:13:55] they're friends like you and me.

[01:13:57] I should have known David, I should have known all along.

[01:13:58] You know how?

[01:13:59] Because the kids David, the kids they called me Mr. Glass.

[01:14:02] It's like he's talking to me.

[01:14:04] Wow.

[01:14:05] And then I like how pulpy the sort of like and...

[01:14:10] You do?

[01:14:11] I do.

[01:14:12] The entire round sort of stuff.

[01:14:13] I don't like those.

[01:14:14] I like it.

[01:14:15] I like how pulpy they are.

[01:14:16] Cause I was about to say I actually like the ending of the movie a lot.

[01:14:18] I like how the score is swelling.

[01:14:19] I like who's you know David is just like oh my god.

[01:14:21] Jesus fucking Christ.

[01:14:22] You're maniac.

[01:14:23] And he full on cries at that moment.

[01:14:25] I do like when it freezes and says that's what we're saying.

[01:14:28] I don't like it.

[01:14:29] I like it.

[01:14:30] I do.

[01:14:31] I know it's...

[01:14:32] David went on to be a great man.

[01:14:34] Elijah was convicted of terrorism.

[01:14:36] What am I saying?

[01:14:37] Set to an institution for the insane or whatever you know.

[01:14:39] David gave his orgasm a wife.

[01:14:41] Jesus Christ.

[01:14:42] Orgasm a wife.

[01:14:43] Jesus Christ griffin.

[01:14:45] He needed his orgasm a wife.

[01:14:47] Yeah he did marry an orgasm after that.

[01:14:49] Mrs. Orgasm.

[01:14:50] Um and yeah.

[01:14:52] Such a mediocre joke if I had landed it.

[01:14:54] It would have been a ho-run.

[01:14:55] Here's why I do like the Chiron's because it is almost like deflating the idea that this is a superhero movie where it's like oh that crazy person who did all that stuff went to jail right away.

[01:15:05] And that's the moment where I'm like oh thank god he didn't make a sequel because as we said he couldn't fight Mr. Glile.

[01:15:09] Like he just punched him once and the guy is down.

[01:15:11] So I like it.

[01:15:12] Hammerhand man.

[01:15:13] What's the hammerhand?

[01:15:14] What's the resolution of this?

[01:15:15] The resolution is the guy just went to an insane asylum because he's got a crazy lunatic.

[01:15:18] David kept on being a good guy.

[01:15:20] Gave his wife and orgasm.

[01:15:23] Earlier my mind wandered for a second to that scene.

[01:15:26] I just want to talk about Mr. Glasker one second.

[01:15:29] No, sure.

[01:15:30] In the comic book store.

[01:15:32] Love it.

[01:15:33] And he in wheel chair.

[01:15:34] That's a great wheelchair.

[01:15:35] Where he's defiantly like twisting his wheelchair.

[01:15:37] What the fuck is- what is the point of that?

[01:15:39] He is emotionally bottomed out because he feels like I just blew up my third major thing.

[01:15:44] Terrorists can be sad too!

[01:15:46] And uh he thought David was the one but like he's not-

[01:15:50] But we don't know that.

[01:15:51] No, he says in the first scene he's like I waited a long time.

[01:15:54] I've had a lot of disappointments and he keeps on saying like first strike, second strike.

[01:15:57] He's like I have to be careful.

[01:15:58] We've gotten close before.

[01:15:59] And it's clear that like David is the closest he's ever come.

[01:16:02] The furthest a guy's come without disappointing him.

[01:16:05] So I think at that point he's like fuck it's not gonna happen.

[01:16:07] I have no purpose in this world.

[01:16:08] It's just a great scene.

[01:16:09] I just love the face he's making.

[01:16:11] He's making this like poopy baby face.

[01:16:13] He's in his wheelchair.

[01:16:15] He's got like a leg you know broken leg sticking out.

[01:16:18] I'm trying to think of what comedy bit that reminds me of where like someone's out of control in a wheelchair just knocking things over.

[01:16:24] Whoever- I don't know who's playing the poor comic book or something.

[01:16:26] Yeah, yeah.

[01:16:27] The guy's good.

[01:16:28] He's good.

[01:16:29] The guy who's playing like the comic book clerk who's like for- can you just like-

[01:16:32] They're not be jerking off to those Japanese anime comics.

[01:16:35] But then he's like oh I'm sorry you're in a wheelchair and then-

[01:16:37] He doesn't say manga.

[01:16:38] That's why what jumped out at me is he doesn't say manga he says like Japanese anime comics.

[01:16:43] He goes the long way.

[01:16:44] He doesn't take this shortcut.

[01:16:46] Let's also note a lot of great merchandise on the wall at this comic book shop.

[01:16:49] It's a good merchandise spotlight.

[01:16:51] There's a lot- I mean I love all the covers, the comic book covers in this movie and just the detail-

[01:16:57] I mean I guess some of them were designed for the movie but there's a lot of nodding to like Watchmen.

[01:17:02] Yeah, yeah.

[01:17:03] And nodding to all these comic books.

[01:17:04] Actually I was reading on IMDb so IMDb trivia is notoriously awful.

[01:17:09] But you must- both of you must know that according to IMDb trivia is a very important fact.

[01:17:14] Near the end of the movie, Samuel Jackson's character sitting in his wheelchair below three comic book covers.

[01:17:19] Thor to the left, Daredevil to the right and Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D.

[01:17:23] Now Nick Fury was redesigned around this time to look like Jackson.

[01:17:26] And then Jackson starred with Thor in a movie.

[01:17:29] And as of 2015- and here's the trivia- there are rumors that Daredevil may meet Fury in the same unit.

[01:17:34] Wait a second.

[01:17:35] That's a trivia for-

[01:17:36] Wait a second.

[01:17:37] Samuel Jackson plays Nick Fury.

[01:17:39] Whoa!

[01:17:40] What a twist!

[01:17:41] I do want to say something.

[01:17:42] Like the two big covers that they use as props are made up.

[01:17:47] Yeah.

[01:17:48] And it's weird because- and I was just thinking like, oh well they must have just not gotten rights to use like-

[01:17:52] Right.

[01:17:53] A Marvel or a DC cut.

[01:17:54] But then you see-

[01:17:55] J'Gorro, they create characters.

[01:17:56] Right.

[01:17:57] And like- and it's a little goofy because- but anyway.

[01:17:59] J'Gorro!

[01:18:00] But then you see the Thor cover so I was just like-

[01:18:03] I guess to make it more like drawing a direct line-

[01:18:06] To control-

[01:18:07] Yeah.

[01:18:08] Like you can-

[01:18:09] It looks more like him.

[01:18:10] Yeah.

[01:18:11] And also I guess Shyamalan doesn't want to be like, I'm making a Batman movie or I'm making

[01:18:15] a Wolverine movie or whatever.

[01:18:16] Like I guess he wants to have a really direct connection.

[01:18:18] And really why is the last frame in this movie not Freeze Frame turned into a comic book?

[01:18:22] That was straight-

[01:18:23] That's the-

[01:18:24] Why doesn't it go full Ang Lee?

[01:18:25] That's the sh- I was about to say that's the shit Ang Lee went for.

[01:18:28] Love it!

[01:18:29] Three, four years later?

[01:18:30] Like not that long after.

[01:18:31] 2003, yeah it was three years later.

[01:18:33] So you know, Ang Lee- yeah we will talk about that in a way.

[01:18:36] And that was the last time.

[01:18:38] Like these two movies were the last two times that filmmakers tried to like literalize comic

[01:18:43] books as a visual idea.

[01:18:45] Like the actual layout of comic book page into the movie.

[01:18:47] Yeah, well, SimCity-

[01:18:48] Sky High does it a little bit.

[01:18:49] Oh SimCity.

[01:18:50] Oh, SimCity.

[01:18:51] Oh CBGB though?

[01:18:52] So good.

[01:18:53] Oh yeah you told me CBGB has fucking a comic book motif right?

[01:18:56] It's fantastic.

[01:18:57] It totally fits in with the story.

[01:18:59] I highly recommend that film for anybody who hasn't seen it.

[01:19:02] Well good thing that director is now in jail for Involuntary Manslaughter.

[01:19:07] Hell yeah.

[01:19:08] Sometimes you shouldn't play on the train tracks.

[01:19:11] Oh god.

[01:19:12] They gave him four-

[01:19:13] This is taking a dark unbreakable-esque turt.

[01:19:15] Unbreakable!

[01:19:16] They gave him four years for Involuntary Manslaughter and one year for directing CBGBs.

[01:19:20] That was the full sentencing.

[01:19:22] Okay, let's talk reception.

[01:19:24] So this movie comes out 15 months after Sixth Sense.

[01:19:26] Does.

[01:19:27] Sixth Sense at the time that Unbreakable-

[01:19:28] It comes out in November to Thanksgiving weekend movie.

[01:19:31] Big Thanksgiving weekend movie.

[01:19:32] Families go to see it.

[01:19:33] Everyone's happy.

[01:19:34] And then Unbreakable.

[01:19:35] I want to point-

[01:19:36] It opens number two.

[01:19:37] Behind How the Grinch Stole Christmas?

[01:19:39] Behind the Grinch.

[01:19:40] Which was-

[01:19:41] Juggernaut.

[01:19:42] Was the number one movie that year.

[01:19:43] It was a Juggernaut and its first weekend Unbreakable makes 30 million dollars.

[01:19:47] Good opening.

[01:19:48] And it makes it 46 million over like the whole Thanksgiving weekend.

[01:19:52] That's-

[01:19:53] It's budget.

[01:19:54] Right.

[01:19:55] It's budget 75.

[01:19:56] Jesus Christ.

[01:19:57] I know.

[01:19:58] M Night Spare, no offense.

[01:19:59] I assume Willis and-

[01:20:00] I think Willis got a full 20 years of experience.

[01:20:02] But then Ten went to fucking Shyamalan.

[01:20:04] Well that's the thing, it speaks to just how long they probably shot this movie and how

[01:20:08] much they could control it.

[01:20:10] It's wonderful.

[01:20:11] Yeah, I think and you know-

[01:20:12] Dream come true.

[01:20:13] Each of those compa covers cost five million dollars to commission.

[01:20:15] And that train scene that got cut.

[01:20:17] That's huge.

[01:20:18] Yeah right right.

[01:20:19] They shot all of it.

[01:20:20] Huge.

[01:20:21] They shot like a Super 8, you know like 18 cars going over it.

[01:20:24] It actually flies off like the end of the matrix at the end of this movie

[01:20:27] but that got cut.

[01:20:28] He restaged an homage to Silver Streak where the train crashes through the train station

[01:20:32] and he got Richard Pryor to come back and reprise his role.

[01:20:35] He wanted this film to take place in the Silver Streakiverse and they cut all of that.

[01:20:41] The SSU.

[01:20:43] So people liked this movie?

[01:20:45] People hated this movie?

[01:20:46] Well I think reactions were tempered.

[01:20:50] I mean I don't remember being super well like critically.

[01:20:53] It did well, it did like 98 million but it didn't do hugely well.

[01:20:57] I can tell you, it made a total of 95 million dollars.

[01:21:01] Yeah.

[01:21:02] You know, fine.

[01:21:04] And then worldwide, you know, collected another 153.

[01:21:07] So it made like 250 worldwide.

[01:21:09] It did well.

[01:21:10] Pretty good for a movie that looks like this.

[01:21:13] The one before this cost 300 million and he got nominated for picture, director, screenplay,

[01:21:18] supporting actress, supporting actress.

[01:21:20] And this got a grand total of Goose ag Oscar nominations.

[01:21:25] And I think people viewed it as sort of being a sophomore slump.

[01:21:30] As being a, you know, sophomore slump as a fourth film.

[01:21:33] But I mean talk about hype that you could never met.

[01:21:36] It was a classic like people, yes, people painted this as like a classic second album thing.

[01:21:40] Right?

[01:21:41] Yeah, where it's like, you know, he's out of the gate and like, you know, how could

[01:21:44] he possibly clips it and then he makes this weird moody movie?

[01:21:47] And then I think we'll talk about signs next week.

[01:21:50] It definitely shot him out of a cannon, commercial combat.

[01:21:53] Shot him out of the cannon in a different direction than probably all the way.

[01:21:55] But signs is him trying to get the public back in his like at his table.

[01:21:59] A crowd pleaser.

[01:22:00] It's a crowd pleaser.

[01:22:02] I think this movie is not meant to be a twist movie.

[01:22:07] It has a twist.

[01:22:08] I know.

[01:22:09] It's framed as a twist.

[01:22:10] I know, but I think it was sort of guided into that.

[01:22:12] This is, I think the difference.

[01:22:14] I think it is a movie that has a twist rather than a quote unquote twist movie.

[01:22:19] Because he starts to become known for twist movies.

[01:22:22] And Sixth Sense is a twist movie where you rewatch it, colors the whole experience

[01:22:25] a different way on the second time when you know the twist.

[01:22:28] The fact that the mother says the surprise ending thing at the beginning,

[01:22:31] the fact that there's a lot of telegraphing,

[01:22:33] or even if you just watch it now, you're like, yeah, this guy's clearly

[01:22:36] positioned as a villain, you know?

[01:22:38] From the way he talks about the comic book cover at the beginning of the film.

[01:22:41] Like there's a lot of foreshadowing and it's not that you just go like,

[01:22:44] well, he didn't trust the audience, you know, he wanted to foreshadow it.

[01:22:47] He shows such restraint with that shit in Sixth Sense.

[01:22:50] I think he was like, this movie has an ending that is unexpected.

[01:22:54] There's like a twist, but my idea isn't to make a film where the ending

[01:22:57] fucking shakes the foundations of your beliefs.

[01:23:00] It's not a Sixth Sense style twist, but it's a twist.

[01:23:03] It's a decent twist actually.

[01:23:04] It's a decent twist.

[01:23:05] Because it does kind of complete the sort of arc of the movie

[01:23:07] where you're like, oh right, he needs a nemesis.

[01:23:09] And like that's cool.

[01:23:10] Like it's a good idea.

[01:23:11] I like the twist fine.

[01:23:12] But I do agree with what you said Matt,

[01:23:14] that I think every scene in this movie is kind of a twist.

[01:23:16] I think it's more of a movie of like, you don't know where it's going.

[01:23:18] It's a reveal, right?

[01:23:19] It's a reveal, it's not a twist.

[01:23:20] Exactly.

[01:23:21] A twist is like, whoa!

[01:23:23] And this is a movie like, uh, interesting.

[01:23:25] It's a reveal film.

[01:23:27] You wouldn't go back and re-watch this necessarily to pick up on any

[01:23:31] like things you missed the first time you did it.

[01:23:33] Which is why I hadn't seen it in a decade.

[01:23:35] Yeah, unless you're Griffin Newman and you are certifiably insane.

[01:23:38] Renting a room out next to Mr. Glass.

[01:23:42] You want to do a performance review?

[01:23:44] Uh, yeah, fine.

[01:23:45] We haven't talked about the performance that's too much.

[01:23:47] I know there are a couple supporting ones we want to talk about.

[01:23:49] Bruce Willis.

[01:23:50] I love this performance.

[01:23:51] I think it's maybe his best ever up there with the first diehard.

[01:23:54] Here's what I like about it.

[01:23:56] Maybe it's the top five?

[01:23:58] Probably but there's not too much competition.

[01:24:01] I like Willis.

[01:24:02] But I mean, he's great.

[01:24:03] He's great.

[01:24:04] To me you've got diehard, you've got home monkeys.

[01:24:05] You kind of have to group all the diehard together.

[01:24:07] Yeah.

[01:24:08] I think he's very underrated in Pulp Fiction.

[01:24:09] He's actually my favorite performance in Pulp Fiction.

[01:24:11] That's literally the stupidest thing you've ever said on this.

[01:24:14] I am a Bruce fan.

[01:24:15] That's crazy.

[01:24:16] Think about, just sit down and think about Pulp Fiction's actors for a second.

[01:24:20] I remember watching it for the first time being like, why is everyone talking about Bruce?

[01:24:24] He's got a shake head.

[01:24:25] He's got a ball in his mouth for a big chunk of it.

[01:24:27] But he works that ball so good.

[01:24:30] Samuel L. Jackson's in that movie.

[01:24:32] Yeah, yeah, he's good.

[01:24:33] John Travolta.

[01:24:34] I'm not a Travolta guy.

[01:24:37] Travolta irks me.

[01:24:38] I admit he's good in that movie but I have Travolta.

[01:24:41] We're not talking about fucking...

[01:24:43] Okay, this is what I like.

[01:24:45] Things I like about Bruce Wills' performance in this movie.

[01:24:47] Number one, love that he shaved his head.

[01:24:49] Love that he's not wearing a stupid tube or painting his scalp a different color.

[01:24:53] A tube?

[01:24:54] A tube.

[01:24:55] A tube head.

[01:24:56] I'm calling it a tube for short.

[01:24:57] I know what the word is.

[01:24:58] Okay, okay, sure.

[01:24:59] I'm being fucking familial.

[01:25:00] Okay, okay.

[01:25:01] You know?

[01:25:02] Go on.

[01:25:03] He's not wearing a tube, David.

[01:25:04] Okay.

[01:25:05] And it's not even like he's like, well I'm just trying to make it look like I shaved it for aesthetic reasons.

[01:25:09] I'm not in enough stubble that you can see like, dude's rocking a doughnut.

[01:25:12] I'm just gonna look like a guy.

[01:25:14] I'm gonna look like a guy who works a security job and doesn't have good hair.

[01:25:17] Right?

[01:25:18] He has hair in sixth sense.

[01:25:19] He does.

[01:25:20] He has a funny weird side parting.

[01:25:22] And he had done Pulp Fiction and Twelve Monkeys full shape.

[01:25:25] And then he was like, maybe I want to have hair again.

[01:25:28] And then Armageddon has that bleached job.

[01:25:30] So your whole performance to him is just the hair?

[01:25:32] No, that was point one.

[01:25:34] Bruce big thumbs up on the hair choice.

[01:25:36] He's bearing his dome.

[01:25:38] I like an actor with a lot of vulnerability.

[01:25:41] To his hand?

[01:25:43] Yeah.

[01:25:44] Thing I like number two.

[01:25:46] I think Bruce Willis is a very sad performer.

[01:25:49] I think he is a sad man.

[01:25:51] I think the best Bruce Willis performance is use that to their advantage.

[01:25:55] Right?

[01:25:56] He's charming.

[01:25:57] He can be a quipster.

[01:25:58] But when you just have him quip, it's like who fucking gives a shit?

[01:26:00] I disagree.

[01:26:01] I love him quipping.

[01:26:02] Quip, quip, quip.

[01:26:03] I think it needs to have an undercurrent of like remorse and disenfranchisement.

[01:26:09] Yeah, yeah.

[01:26:10] He's good in Moonrise Kingdom.

[01:26:11] That's why John McClain is good.

[01:26:12] Well, yeah, Moonrise Kingdom, he's another sad man.

[01:26:14] Yeah, John McClain's a great, yeah.

[01:26:15] I mean the first one where he's like a divorce guy.

[01:26:17] He's a real guy.

[01:26:18] And it's like, I think Bruce Willis is good at emotional men who don't know how to express their feelings.

[01:26:25] Okay, thumbs up from you.

[01:26:26] Matt, do you think Bruce Willis is good at this?

[01:26:28] I can say it's very realistic because I was very sad about moving from Philadelphia to New York

[01:26:33] and leaving my woman at the time.

[01:26:36] But then I, you know, I went through, I went in a different direction.

[01:26:38] Did you go to college?

[01:26:39] Was this when you moved?

[01:26:40] Yeah, I went to college.

[01:26:41] I was in the exact same position.

[01:26:43] I'm unbreakable, so it was the exact same.

[01:26:45] Right, you had the car crash, you faked, your injury.

[01:26:48] Yeah, I was going to play football professionally but decided to go to film school.

[01:26:54] So it was a very hard, very realistic performance.

[01:26:56] I do like the idea that of course he'd be great at football.

[01:26:58] He's unbreakable.

[01:26:59] He's unbreakable.

[01:27:00] Have you ever heard of unbreakables?

[01:27:01] Those people who are unbreakable?

[01:27:03] He's one of them.

[01:27:04] That's the thing, if you get in a car crash and you're not hurt at all,

[01:27:06] does something start dawning on you and like, wait, I can both love her because I'm not going to get injured

[01:27:11] and I can play football.

[01:27:12] Push it down, deep down.

[01:27:13] It's like a somatic.

[01:27:14] I think he truly believed he was injured.

[01:27:15] Samuel L. Jackson.

[01:27:16] Great!

[01:27:17] I think it's great.

[01:27:18] What do you think?

[01:27:19] He's just cracklin' up there.

[01:27:22] So we were talking about the scene where he's chastising the customer.

[01:27:27] And that's a rich customer.

[01:27:28] And the final monologue is fucking good.

[01:27:30] Yes, this movie could be much sillier and it's not because Samuel L. Jackson loves comic books in real life

[01:27:36] and turns it into poetry here.

[01:27:39] But look, he is putting one single thinly sliced piece of ham on top of the dish.

[01:27:45] He knows just the right amount of ham to put on it.

[01:27:47] You know?

[01:27:48] Yeah.

[01:27:49] He's not giving you a ham sandwich but it's chicken cordon blue

[01:27:50] and you're taking a bite and you're going,

[01:27:52] little ham in there.

[01:27:53] Well, ham and suit help.

[01:27:54] Yeah.

[01:27:55] I'll disregard that ham until later and at the end he goes,

[01:27:56] surprise!

[01:27:57] There was ham throughout the dish.

[01:27:58] I am a villain.

[01:27:59] Robin Wright.

[01:28:00] Love it.

[01:28:01] Good.

[01:28:02] You love all of these before.

[01:28:03] I think they're all pretty good.

[01:28:04] I did.

[01:28:05] I also, I love her.

[01:28:06] I wanted her more because she is really good.

[01:28:09] She seems broken in an authentic way but I wish she had a little more, I don't know.

[01:28:15] Could have been a very, very rote character.

[01:28:17] Yeah.

[01:28:18] It's a very familial, familial problem.

[01:28:19] I'm glad we ordered a job.

[01:28:20] Yes.

[01:28:21] That's good.

[01:28:22] Me too.

[01:28:23] I like seeing people be good at the things they do and liking their work.

[01:28:26] But I like her scene where she asks him if he was ever with any other women.

[01:28:30] And he's just silent for like 80 minutes and then he's like no and she starts crying.

[01:28:36] Immediately.

[01:28:37] When she says it's fine no matter what whatever the answer is it's fine.

[01:28:39] I just have to ask you this question.

[01:28:40] It's not going to hurt me either way so just be honest with me.

[01:28:42] And then the second he says no she breaks down into tears.

[01:28:45] Right.

[01:28:46] No cuts.

[01:28:47] So he's like really showing off that like Robin Wright didn't do the first half of that scene

[01:28:51] and then go like hey I'm like can I have 30 and then listen to while my guitar gently weeps

[01:28:56] and cut some onions and then cry.

[01:28:58] She had to fucking do it on a dime.

[01:29:00] It's real action.

[01:29:01] You brought it.

[01:29:02] I love her.

[01:29:03] I think she's one of the prettiest ladies of all time.

[01:29:04] I think she's a very underrated actress.

[01:29:05] Gorgeous woman.

[01:29:06] I mean Princess Bride.

[01:29:07] Robin Wright.

[01:29:08] What does this say about me?

[01:29:09] I weirdly find her most attractive in this film.

[01:29:12] That's weird.

[01:29:13] Because she's emollanted.

[01:29:14] She's very pretty and she's very normal.

[01:29:16] She's not being dressed up.

[01:29:17] Yeah I do sexually fetishize normalness.

[01:29:20] Okay Spencer T. Clark as Joseph Dill.

[01:29:23] Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

[01:29:24] Which is weird my name is David my brother's name is Joseph.

[01:29:27] Is this a twist?

[01:29:29] And your mom used to be married to Sean Penn.

[01:29:34] That's terrible.

[01:29:36] Spencer T. Clark he's alright.

[01:29:38] Sean Penn's kind of the guy in the orange punch.

[01:29:40] It's a hard thing to do after Haley Jalazzo.

[01:29:43] You know I just saw him it's very hard to do after Haley Jalazzo.

[01:29:46] He still kind of looks like that he has this sort of very distinctive eyes and weird look.

[01:29:51] Bobby Durst dies.

[01:29:52] Just saw him in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

[01:29:54] He's still around.

[01:29:55] Spencer T. Clark he was in Gladiator.

[01:29:57] He's still playing an eight year old or still playing eight year old.

[01:30:00] God this was a big year for him.

[01:30:01] Gladiator and Umbrella came out in the same year.

[01:30:03] What are you playing Gladiator?

[01:30:05] He's a kid.

[01:30:06] He's like he played John L.A.

[01:30:08] He's all over read.

[01:30:09] He did all over read stand-in stuff after he died.

[01:30:11] That's incredible.

[01:30:12] Now he's like a Recony Nielsen's kid.

[01:30:14] Yeah.

[01:30:16] Yeah, he's fine.

[01:30:18] I think he's good.

[01:30:19] I do remember at the time people being like,

[01:30:21] Oh new kid I bet the kids the key to the next Shyamalan movie.

[01:30:24] And so like when the kid ends up just sort of being like a side thing.

[01:30:27] Speilberg obviously Shyamalan's idol steals Haley Jalazzo.

[01:30:31] Sure.

[01:30:32] And then gets the best performance out of him.

[01:30:34] Shyamalan gets this kid.

[01:30:36] But then Shyamalan gets Brezlin, Abigail Brezlin in the next one.

[01:30:39] Yeah.

[01:30:40] And Rory Culkin.

[01:30:41] Yeah, Rory.

[01:30:42] Not bad.

[01:30:44] Yeah, so other than Charlene Woodard as Elijah's mother is very good.

[01:30:47] She's like an experienced like state.

[01:30:49] She's a playwright.

[01:30:50] Yeah.

[01:30:51] She's a great actress.

[01:30:52] And a walker.

[01:30:53] I'm in Walker's The Doctor is Cool.

[01:30:54] The only other I mean down you know the ER doctor in the scene with Michael Kelly.

[01:30:57] Michael Kelly, you know from like house to cars and stuff.

[01:31:00] This movie's missing a Wahlberg.

[01:31:01] Oh, this movie could use a Wahlberg.

[01:31:03] Wahlberg not a Janitor guy.

[01:31:05] The one they should at least go to a Wahlbergers location.

[01:31:07] One of the scenes could have been set at a Wahlbergers.

[01:31:09] Why isn't the yeah, he could have been a Janitor at a Wahlberg.

[01:31:12] Chaining people to Wahlbergers.

[01:31:14] I don't know.

[01:31:15] Wahlbergers.

[01:31:16] And we should wrap up.

[01:31:17] Yeah.

[01:31:18] David, there is one performance that you texted to me.

[01:31:22] No, I'm not fine in this movie.

[01:31:23] It's a stadium drug deal.

[01:31:24] The properly sized role.

[01:31:25] Oh, you mean with the baby sitter?

[01:31:26] Yes, you identify as your favorite performance in the film said you wanted to talk about.

[01:31:29] That's why I went to performance.

[01:31:30] She's great.

[01:31:31] Micaela Carroll.

[01:31:32] Here, I have a screenshot of her.

[01:31:34] It's a great little scene.

[01:31:36] Here she is.

[01:31:37] She's so good.

[01:31:38] Where?

[01:31:39] Is she the baby sitter?

[01:31:40] Yeah, where she reports to them that like he got news of a job in New York after their date, I think.

[01:31:47] And she's like, by the way, thanks for telling me you're moving to New York.

[01:31:50] Gee, he's great guys.

[01:31:51] I mean like she seems like she's losing work.

[01:31:53] She's funny.

[01:31:54] It's a weirdly funny little moment.

[01:31:57] And Bruce Willis of course is like a dead like zombie man.

[01:32:00] He's like, no.

[01:32:01] Giving the performance of a lifetime.

[01:32:03] What other flesh golem did I call him a golem?

[01:32:06] Yeah, that was very accurate.

[01:32:08] I thought you were referring to M. Night himself.

[01:32:11] What else has she done?

[01:32:12] Have you looked at what I'm doing?

[01:32:14] Oh, I'm not.

[01:32:15] Insummation, best movie of all time.

[01:32:18] Wow.

[01:32:19] You came back around.

[01:32:20] I don't get it a little bit.

[01:32:21] I still love this movie.

[01:32:22] It's hard for me to be critical.

[01:32:24] I really think it's excellent.

[01:32:25] I don't think it's perfect, but I like this combination of high brown and low brown.

[01:32:29] I like really did almost nothing else.

[01:32:31] That's a bummer.

[01:32:32] I'm going to write a comeback picture for her.

[01:32:33] She was in a movie called Cerebral Print, The Secret Files.

[01:32:36] It's a character called Diamond.

[01:32:37] That one is probably not a good movie.

[01:32:39] You know what?

[01:32:40] She is very good in that.

[01:32:41] I will give her that.

[01:32:42] She is very good.

[01:32:43] Diamond is the breakout character.

[01:32:44] Here is the cover.

[01:32:46] Jesus Christ.

[01:32:47] Anyway.

[01:32:48] Do you notice the website underneath?

[01:32:49] 855films.com.

[01:32:51] But it looks like ass films.

[01:32:54] The font they used was quite unfortunate.

[01:32:57] It's blocky to begin with, so the five looks like an ass.

[01:33:00] Okay.

[01:33:01] Now I have to offer, looked up any news regarding Unbreakable 2.

[01:33:07] Okay.

[01:33:08] And it looks like M Night Shyamalan was interviewed by Clyder and it's not confirming anything,

[01:33:14] but I'll just give you some of his quotes here.

[01:33:19] So he says that during the time when he was initially pitching to Disney, Disney said

[01:33:25] and quote comic books.

[01:33:27] There's no market for comic books.

[01:33:29] How wrong they were.

[01:33:30] That's all they make now.

[01:33:32] Disney of all people.

[01:33:33] It was a hilarious conversation.

[01:33:35] What wretched fools they be.

[01:33:37] I mean that's the most fascinating thing about this movie.

[01:33:40] We've got to wrap up, but in context now, you can't believe this is a superhero movie.

[01:33:45] Maybe Poncho Man can show up to the Infinity Wars.

[01:33:49] Yeah, maybe he'll be in the Infinity War.

[01:33:51] Let's call him Unbreakable.

[01:33:52] Maybe the fifth Infinity Security is in Philadelphia.

[01:33:54] Disney does own Unbreakable though.

[01:33:56] They could work it into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

[01:33:58] As long as Ultron doesn't make it rain, Poncho Man will be there.

[01:34:01] And the point he does make too is that I think it would be interesting to see this sequel in the market today.

[01:34:09] Because it's so different than all the comic book movies that are coming out.

[01:34:12] It would have to look more like today's comic book movies.

[01:34:14] Hammer Hand.

[01:34:15] But like fucking Samuel Jackson is like in his late 60s now, right?

[01:34:20] Bruce Willis is getting pretty old.

[01:34:21] I don't know if we need another Unbreakable movie.

[01:34:24] My friend Jordan Fish used to say that he thought if they made a trilogy, it should be called Unbreakable.

[01:34:30] And then the second phone would be called Breakable.

[01:34:32] And the third phone would be called Broken.

[01:34:34] Good arc.

[01:34:35] I like that.

[01:34:36] I've heard about Unbreakable Broken and then Rebuilt.

[01:34:39] Oh yeah.

[01:34:40] Hey, although if it's Shyamalan, it's gonna get sadder.

[01:34:42] Right, that's what I'm saying. Make it sad.

[01:34:44] I like this movie. It defined my sense of cinema a lot.

[01:34:47] I watch it today. It feels a little more blunt.

[01:34:50] Yeah, like a junior grid movie.

[01:34:52] Yeah, but as a kid it was like, oh this is how movies work.

[01:34:55] This is what movies for grown-ups are sort of like, but it's still about kid stuff that you like.

[01:34:58] A varsity good movie.

[01:34:59] Yeah, and you like sad people.

[01:35:00] I just, as we wrap up here, this movie, you know, you guys were running a comedy podcast about movies.

[01:35:07] Well wait a second. It's been redefined, reclassified on iTunes under TV and film.

[01:35:10] Well let me just say it's a funny podcast and I was watching Unbreakable and I thought there were a lot of joke opportunities here.

[01:35:18] You did some punch-up.

[01:35:19] I wrote some Unbreakable jokes. I just wanted to test them out.

[01:35:22] This is great. I love this.

[01:35:23] Great, ready?

[01:35:24] This is like Ben. This is like your kind of corner.

[01:35:26] Yeah, so this is real true comedy. Think about using a stand-up set maybe.

[01:35:30] So this section is called, this new segment is called Matt's Serious Joke Cut.

[01:35:35] Bum, bum, bum, bum.

[01:35:36] Okay, knock, knock.

[01:35:37] Who's it?

[01:35:38] Haley Joel Osman.

[01:35:40] Haley Joel Osman, yeah.

[01:35:41] Ha! This is the first time anyone, no one remembers Haley Joel Osman and everyone loves Spencer Trey Clark.

[01:35:48] That's a pretty funny one.

[01:35:49] That's good. That's good start.

[01:35:51] He started strong.

[01:35:52] Don't do that, don't do that.

[01:35:54] Alright, I'll do different sound effects.

[01:35:56] Ready?

[01:35:57] Okay, knock back.

[01:35:58] Who's there?

[01:35:59] David Dunn.

[01:36:00] David Dunn who?

[01:36:01] David Dunn who?

[01:36:02] I'm the only survivor of a massive train crash. I'm fucking unbreakable.

[01:36:08] Alright, here's the third and final joke.

[01:36:10] I hope it's enough.

[01:36:11] Is it another classic three-act structure here?

[01:36:13] Yeah, perfect.

[01:36:14] Unbreakable brook.

[01:36:16] Knock back.

[01:36:17] Who's there?

[01:36:18] Mr. Glass.

[01:36:19] Mr. Glass who?

[01:36:20] Ah! Over the door, I just broke my hand from knocking because I'm Mr. Glass.

[01:36:25] That was good. That was great.

[01:36:26] That was the best one.

[01:36:27] Great twist.

[01:36:28] You got a fan stroke.

[01:36:29] Great twist.

[01:36:31] Merchandise spotlight.

[01:36:32] No.

[01:36:33] No, I have really news for our audience.

[01:36:35] Okay, you got the ray figure.

[01:36:36] I found one.

[01:36:37] Okay, go.

[01:36:38] Alright, now you can show up.

[01:36:39] You don't have to send me toys.

[01:36:40] Where'd you get it?

[01:36:41] I ordered off Amazon.

[01:36:42] It was on stock at Amazon for like an hour.

[01:36:43] I had an alert for when it went back in stock.

[01:36:45] That is insanity.

[01:36:46] Yep.

[01:36:48] Toys.

[01:36:49] Good thing I'm complete as a human being now.

[01:36:51] Yeah, but how many unbreakable toys do you own?

[01:36:53] None!

[01:36:54] Do they ever?

[01:36:55] No!

[01:36:56] No?

[01:36:57] I would buy a Mr. Glass for $0, but I'd have one.

[01:36:59] There's not like a 14 inch...

[01:37:01] Potto.

[01:37:02] ...maquette of...

[01:37:03] That's all I want.

[01:37:04] I've looked for any fucking piece of merchandise.

[01:37:07] Alright guys, we gotta wrap this up.

[01:37:27] The best kind of lists though.

[01:37:29] Let's be honest.

[01:37:30] There's a lot of cheap lists down the internet.

[01:37:32] No, it's a good list.

[01:37:33] Thrill.

[01:37:34] Next week we will be covering the motion picture signs with

[01:37:38] Merv Meyer and Diana Kohlsky of Menagee Tois.

[01:37:42] Yeah, those two dirty birds.

[01:37:44] There's a couple dirty birds.

[01:37:46] Spoiler alert, they've had sex with each other.

[01:37:50] And also some other people.

[01:37:52] They're married and they have sex with each other.

[01:37:54] This is not how I want to end this podcast.

[01:37:56] Is there anything else?

[01:39:06] I was going to try to tie it back into the ass film thing, but then I wondered

[01:39:09] if it was too much for you.

[01:39:10] They called you Mr. Ass Films.
