And you can just join the fun and do the chat and all that good stuff. Our movie this week is skis movie and it is the first movie in a theme month, which we are bringing back now. The theme month is sequels and the movie is Beverly Hills cop axle F came out. Yeah, you're gonna say Beverly Hills about four and also. I could, but that's not what it's called. Ski. It's called Beverly Hills cop axle F. It's actually got some like punctuation in there. Like a little a little Trumpian. Yeah, that's what I call it. That's what I call it. Yeah. A lot of people are calling it. Everyone's saying it. Everybody calls it that came out this year. It is on Netflix. Yeah, like, well, I mean, I don't know when people are listening to this came out as if there's like aliens in the future listening to this podcast out of all of them. Yeah, 66 on rotten tomatoes. It has 6.6 on IMDB and a 55 on Metacritic because Metacritic always got to be different. Movie stars Eddie Murphy as axle Foley. Joseph Gordon Levitt as Bobby Abbott Taylor page as Jane Saunders. Judge Reinhold as Billy Rosewood. John Ashton as John Taggart. Paul Reiser as deputy chief Friedman. Bronson in show as Serge. Kevin Balke also works. I could that's all he's known for. His name is not Bronson Pinchot. His name is Balki. So Balki reprises his role as. Thank you. Okay, cool. Kevin Beethoven. On the wings of my tree. I love perfect strangers. Such a great show. Kevin Bacon as Cade Grant. The the villain. The super duper fucking stereotypical villain. Holy shit. This movie played into some tropes fellas. And well, it's it's not new to this. Every single Beverly Hills cop has there's no twist and turns. You know who the bad guy is within 20 minutes. And they're that bad guy the entire time. And an axle Foley explicitly tells you that it's the bad guy. And it's this guy. He's doing it. He's right. Guess what? If that's a full. He says something. He's right. Fucking Hey, um, Will Beal Tom Gormacken Kevin Ettin wrote the screenplay for this movie. Beal also wrote Aquaman, the Zack Snyder Justice League movie. And bad boys writer die. So he has some very big blockbuster movies under his belt. Gormacken wrote the unbearable night or the unbearable weight of massive talent. The Nick Cage movie that everybody loved. And Ettin wrote on workaholics David Letterman and the show ghosted. So actually some very good writers worked on this movie direction. Okay, directed. This might be one of those ones where, you know, I heard once that we agree too much on all of the movies we watch. This might be one of the exceptions. This movie directed by Mark Malloy, who had never directed a movie before. Bold move. So budget for this movie. $150 million. There's no box office because it's a Netflix movie. And they're not releasing it in theaters. So hope Netflix enjoyed wasting money on that. 41 million views in the first five days this movie got set a lot. Is it and I don't know that's like viewership. But that's a lot. So Ski, do you know the history of this movie and like the production of it and how how long it took to get made like I figured you might know. I know it was it was supposed to come out in a seat three came out in like 94. They were trying to have it come out before 2000s. So it's been in the works for 30 years. Production of this movie started in the 90s. That is how long they have been trying to make this movie. In 2008, they hired Brett Ratner to direct this movie. Do you know about Brett Ratner? I know who that is Google, Google Brett Ratner. Not good. Not a good, not a good story about what Brett. But how was he in 2000? How was he in 2008 though? Hireable. Hireable. Yes. Yes. He was not after that. It stalled out. They actually tried to make it into a TV show. And then CBS passed on it. Then Paramount decided that a movie would be better again. Everyone was paid like they gave Eddie Murphy like 20 million dollars to be in the movie. And then when they were all set to announce it, they pulled it from their their schedule. In 2017, they found new directors and they wanted to hire Tom Hardy and Channing Tatum as Foley's like partner in the movie or something like that. I don't know. They judge probably their tagger and judge Ryan Holcares star alongside. Yeah. Or like the George Joseph Gordon Levitt character or something like that. I don't know. In 2019, when Coming to America was announced, coming to America was announced. They finally moved forward with making this one as well. The previous directors left to direct the Batgirl movie, which of course was completely filmed with Michael Keaton and then never released because they apparently would save money on a tax right off instead of releasing that. Was that HBO that made that? I forget. Yeah. I think it was HBO. And then the rest is history. They hired the people I already mentioned. So the script was rewritten by Beale after it was announced that they were making it too. They hired him to sort of fix the script, finalize everything, and then that was it. So the problem too, it also had how many of these have you seen? I assume you guys have seen Reese's first one. First two. I didn't watch it. First two. First two. Yep. The third one was very, very, very bad. And it was in a time, I think it was in a time in his life where he's going through a divorce or something and Eddie didn't want to be there. And the third one was so bad. And I think that's what really stymied the fourth one coming out, like in the 90s. And then you know how hard it is to make a movie after especially if you sit on it for a while. Yeah, shit like this will happen. And Eddie wasn't like around. Like he wasn't doing anything for a long time. Like he made the clumps or whatever and then just sort of like didn't do it. Oh, yeah. Well, a little ditty called Shrek came out, which made him a billion dollars. But when was the last Shrek movie that came out? It was a while, right? It was a while ago. They're going to, by the way, they're going to release another one. That's coming. Shrek five, Shrek five's coming, baby. It was also Dr. Do little. Don't forget. But again, that was a long time ago. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. It was, dude. Like, yeah, that was before Shrek, I believe to be. Yeah. Well, he was in that movie recently that we watched with Jonah Hill. But again, he came back in the last couple of years. That's my point. Yeah. Like he, there was like a good decade where he wasn't doing anything. So, but wasn't he like, like free pandemic almost? Wasn't he the highest gross thing actor ever because of Shrek and some of those ones that just like he really have to work? Well, remember, he did like the he did the Seinfeld coffee show. And that was the first time he had been like in the public light in for a while, a really long time. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think he's like, Oh, he definitely still alive. That's cool. He looks good right on. He still does look good in this movie. But yeah, I don't think he did anything from 2000 to 20, right? Other than voice over, I guess is what I should say. Yeah. We also got a member. He was he was the biggest highest paid actor in the late 80s through the 90 or whenever Beverly Hills got three came out. All right. So I'm just gonna I'm just gonna start it off. We should actually get into the movie. I'm gonna start it off with a controversial statement. You love Norbit? I don't like Eddie Murphy. I don't think I don't think Eddie Murphy's funny. You know, you know, I it's it's 2024. I'm 42 years old. I've been around on this earth. For most of my life, Eddie Murphy has been I have heard Eddie Murphy be talked about as the funniest man on earth as like having the most edgy comedy having the, you know, these blockbuster huge hilarious movies. I don't think he's funny. I don't but don't get me wrong. I love Don Quay. Give me Don Quay all day long. Love me some Don Quay. He's not funny. Not even his SNL. Like I'm going to be damn it. Is that funny? Is that funny? Look, wait. Is that funny? Is that funny? Okay, that's funny. Okay, that's funny. Okay, that's one. He's got one. Raw was funny. Yeah, wrong. Stand up. Delirious was delirious. Funny. We just say it was funny. I think it might be saying it's funny. I think Aaron Brooklyn. I think your I think I think is the same, by the way. I think none of us have watched any of those stand up specials since we were in fucking like elementary school or something like that where we thought it was like we heard a dude cursing and we're like, Oh my god, this is the craziest you should have ever seen. Is he actually funny? Does that still hold up? I don't know. I haven't seen it in 30 years. I mean, if we don't hold up anymore because there's a lot of homophobic stuff and it's it's of the times you have to. But is it funny? If you wanted to be critical, you could almost say he was the black like Andrew Dykles that Andrew Dykles for a minute. Way better. I'm guessing if you wanted to be critical, like Alex clearly does. Are his movies funny? This movie is not funny. This movie is not funny. It's supposed to be an action movie, not a comedy. Okay, then what then why the fuck is Eddie Murphy hamming to the camera every three seconds? Because that's what Axel Foley does. Yeah, that's not funny. His his whole shtick of the late 80s, 90s was always kind of the fish out of water, you know, trading places, 48, 48 hours. Oh, another 48 hours. Oh, that's why I hope one of you might have a 48 hours. The racist, nullity. I don't know it could be topped. Oh, no, this is bullshit. Fish out of water is bullshit because so he's a fish out of water, but he's also the most confident dude you've ever seen in your fucking life who talks shit to everybody and like nobody doesn't say anything to him. You throw that confident guy in a scenario where, you know, he's in bed. He's a you also got to remember him and Wesley Snipes were the only black people in Hollywood for 15 years. So it was the good boy. So you have to know the times like he was the black guy. It was, oh, a black guy in Beverly Hills, funny premise at most of the times for the times. Another funny, another funny Eddie Murphy sketch when he's dressed up and put the white guy makeup on and the sole boy, it was a white man. Should that wasn't you, please stole that, stole it straight from Eddie Murphy. I do remember that, actually. You know why? Because I had the the SNL best of Eddie Murphy when I was a kid. Everybody. They'll just give me a seat. Yeah. This guy's probably going to say Charlie Murphy's not funny. Charlie Murphy funnier than Eddie Murphy. You know, why you got to bring? Why you got to besmirch Charlie Murphy's name? Why are you bringing in the one besmirching the Murray name? The Murphy name. I will say I didn't realize also not funny. No, okay. I didn't realize how quickly Eddie Murphy in the 90s went from like, I'm Eddie Murphy to I'm just catching checks. There was like just a four year gap between boomerang. And then he went on Dr. Doolittle, boe finger, not your professor to track Dr. Doolittle too. Like he realized very quickly. Well, he saw where the money was going. It wasn't for these action comedies that he was all in. It was animated stuff and kid movies essentially. Financially very smart. Yeah. Really? Really? Really? Good idea. We also got to remember that I think he dropped out of doing stand up at the time as well. He did. He took 25 years off of doing stand up. And as an aside, very smart because comedians like rappers don't age well. Once you once you have your W two's age out of the struggle, it's just not the same. Like, I'm like, I'm going to listen on a tangent. I'm going to listen to the new Eminem album because he's never really been a struggle rapper, I wouldn't say. Kind of a rapey murder rapper drown his daughter in front of his wife rapper, kind of a giant rapper. I'll listen to it. But it's just not to say, you know, he was smart. He'd had a comedy like that. Yeah. Those first, those first few albums you can't touch. Can't be edgy when your last movie, what you got cut 30 million dollars. You just not as edgy. Absolutely right. We've spent the last month forever. Like in the last month, we've been, we've spent it like tearing down Jerry Seinfeld and Eddie Murphy. Well, top comedians. Yeah. I said he was a rip on in Major League two. You know, we got the cat got that check, got all prim and proper. You can't be the wild thing when you're, you know, driving a Rolls Royce anymore. Exactly. Yep. And so here we are. And we got Beverly Hills cop Axel F, which again, 66% in Rotten Tomatoes. I've seen a lot of online things saying how like enjoyable this movie is, like how fun it is. It's like a return to form for Eddie Murphy and blah, blah, blah. And I'm just like, I was legitimately bored watching this movie. Like it was, it was boring to me. Like the, the, like the banter between Eddie Murphy and the daughter was awful. Like he kept trying to make these like pithy jokes. And she wasn't like, they had no chemistry whatsoever, which I guess was sort of the point. Like she was estranged or whatever, but still like you're, you're acting opposite each other. Like it's supposed to be interesting and fun. Even if it's, you know, whatever. I was bored. I was legitimately bored. And like, like you said, ski, like this, this played to the, like the typical Beverly Hills cop, typical, you know, bad guy cop story to a tee. And you knew exactly what was happening really early on. You knew exactly what the end of the movie was going to look like. And it didn't deviate whatsoever. Well, that's because they made it, it's movies called Beverly Hills cop four. It stuck to the formula. But they even got a brought back almost everywhere. The only people they didn't practice, because I think they're dead. And that was the police chief from Detroit and the police chief from Beverly Hills. And they're both dead, I'm pretty sure. And I believe that Detroit one got killed off in the third movie. So risers, risers character is the chief in Detroit now, right? Yes. He was like retiring or whatever. Okay. I have a question about that because towards the end of the movie, he, Axel had to do like a phone trace on his daughter to find out where she was. Why did she call or why did he call him? Like, am I, am I too understanding that they did a phone trace on the, so they did a trace from Detroit to Beverly Hills on the daughter's phone? That's because he get it access from the police department there. He doesn't have access in Beverly Hills to run my traces. You can't trace a phone from Detroit. As you can. Oh, yeah. Can providers, just provider. Can I find a phone? It's just find a phone pretty much. He should just ask them to use find a phone. That's fucking really neat. That's a good point too. Yeah. Do they have like the family app set up on their phones? Something tells me not. But they also needed to, because that was a big part of the other movies, was always him getting calls from his chief in Detroit, reaming his asshole out of getting in trouble in Beverly Hills. That was part of the dynamic, of always him trying to keep it, keep it on the down low from Detroit. Yeah. Was the part of it. Damn it, Axel. But again, they did, they did it perfectly with how they should. You start the movie. He's in Detroit. Something crazy happens. That's the formula. And then after the chase is usually what happens, where he fucks up a lot of stuff, then we find out what the plot of the movie is and then he has to get. Which there were lots of chase scenes and they were not, you know, they didn't conform to your normal chase scenes. I think they're always a little one. Yeah. One was like a, like an ice thing, like in a snow plow. Snow plow. Thank you. Yeah. I was trying to come up with the name for it. There was like a helicopter chase. Meter made car. Meter made chase. Yeah. Yeah. So there were, there were definitely some chase scenes. Were they, were they good chase scenes? But that's that that's what they are. Okay. So, so your argument with me on this movie is the, the line is down here. Don't try to go above that line. Like I said, they were making a Beverly Hills cop movie, so they did. You don't make a Beverly Hills cop. You're not going to have like a Ronan esque chase car chase scene in a Beverly Hills cop movie. It has to be, it has to be an Eddie Murphy chasing. Yeah. That's what it is. And then you have to bring in, you know, the one of his big bits is like you said, it's his confidence. He always goes in as it going to anywhere as that car as a character to get his way into places. Except for in this movie, when he was trying to go to hotel, he was about to go into a character to try to access a room. He's just like, ah, fuck it. Just, can I have a room? I did like that. Yeah. That was good. I also liked the one where he tried to talk the car guy into just giving him a car. Like, like, we're, we're with the police department. I'm going to come into your vehicle. He's like, no, you're not. Like, I work here. I have a dog who needs like a surgery. You know how much that cost? $40,000. And then they said the end word a whole bunch, which I can't say, but it was really funny, which is what brought it back from, like, the third one was very, I think it was like PG. Yeah. Like it took place in Wall-E world. Like it was, it was not good. Yeah. That was part of the, that was part of the production of this too. Is they, one of the things they did like halfway through the process is they're like, it's going to be a PG 13 movie. And then they're like, no, this is, that's a bad idea. It needs to be rated on. It needs, yeah. Because that's what the first two were. And that's what made him good. And at the time, you're going to have Eddie Murphy in a PG 13 movie. All his movies were on. You're showing Jamie Lee Curtis's tits in his movies. I mean, he has to say fuck. And he has the Nick Nolte was dropping her to ours a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Did you expect to hear a few of those from Kevin Bacon? Well, Bacon, no. If, if they would have had, I wish they would have brought Nolte into this somehow. No, just Kevin Bacon. Yeah. I was, you know, you said, oh, you know, stereotypical bad guy. Kevin Bacon, not good in this role. No, he's not good in this either. The character is stupid. All the bad guys in the other movies are always not very well known people. Yeah. Like one of the bad guys in the second one was like Bridget Nielsen. That's Jesus Christ. And I can never remember his name. He always plays like a bad German guy. It was in the second one. Those are the level bad guys you're supposed to have. Yeah, very half-assed bad guy in this movie. Yeah, it was Kevin Bacon. That was like, because like you, the character trope is generally okay, right? But you sort of, if you're going to do that trope, you sort of have to up the game, right? And they didn't at all. Like, because he's, he's bad guy cop. He's crooked. He like snorts Coke in front of the daughter. He like, you know, he's, he's working with the cartel. He's, you know, he's, by the way, he's shot down to help. Like, like what we know about cops nowadays is like, if you shoot your weapon, you don't get to work for a week or whatever, you know, like they, like you, you have to write paperwork. They like pull you, put you on a desk for a little while, and then you can go back out. And this guy shoots a helicopter down. He's like, like Jesus Christ. The only good thing they did with the character was all the bad guys in the other movies are just openly, blatantly bad, like to everyone. Like, it's hard to see like how people don't see them as a bad guy. It's like, they don't hide. They don't never hide being a bad guy. I was, I was literally thinking that too. It's like, how does, like, by the way, like, tag her the laziest police chief in the history of fun, or tag her was a lazy cop too. That was part of the shit. No, like, I get it. I get it. But like, it's so clearly fucking obvious that, like, he is a dirty cop, that it's like, how do you not see it? Like, remember, Foley walks in. Again, it's a trope. Like, Foley, for Foley, he walks in and he's like, this guy's wearing a suit, and like, has a role. Just clocks him as a bad guy. Like, right away, he just looks at him. Like, why does, why does a captain wearing a suit? Like, wait a minute. Like, no, but yeah. So that, that, the only two negatives I really give it for how I envision the movie was bacon, not good. And I didn't love the back and forth with Gordon Levitt and Eddie wasn't very good, either. Because that's supposed, that's supposed to be the buddy buddy cop, because usually he had Judge Reinhold and tag her. You know, we had Billy and them, that was his good, that was his back and forth buddies there. But they weren't there with him to do it. So it kind of felt short. Yeah, they, they introduced them and had them in the movie, but they were in it for like three minutes. Yeah, which, which, you know, you want to throw in a mask to him. And you got, you got the sense that that last scene, that's all that was, right? Like, where they're, they're waiting out. That was a shop or shop when they literally the shop or shop for when they first meet him, he's they're camping out his hotel, because they're making sure he's leaving and he jumps in the back of the car with him. Yeah. And they go to a strip club in the first one. Yep. Yep. Which he mentions, which he mentions to Joseph Gordon Levitt. He's like taking me to strip club yet. But by the way, by the way, real quick listener, you haven't heard King's voice in a while, he had to get up a few minutes ago. So I don't know what's going on, but he might make it back by the end. We'll see. If he doesn't, that's why something's going on in the King Casa. No problem filling here also. So yeah, for sure. The other thing, they do good jobs. I King would love this part too. They do some homages to Eddie when they first arrest him and they, Joseph Gordon Levitt is like reading off, like, oh, you did this in '91 or '89. Yeah. They showed the whole pictures. Yeah. But then they did like, oh, in '94, oh, this one was not very good, because that was the third movie and it was terrible. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I remember like reading about Murphy saying, like literally saying the third movie was bad and we can't leave this series as that. Yeah, with it. So like, we have to do something else just because of that. Yeah. Yeah. And they have, you know, they had the Shrek homage there, too. They talk about layers and onions. There's layers. Which, by the way, so "Shooter McGavin" in this movie as well. Weird. Weird audio. Which was like a big talking point leading up to this is like how "Shooter McGavin" was in this movie and if it's going to be... Was this a Netflix movie, you think? Yes. Having a movie, a hundred percent. That's what they're wondering is like, is Eddie Murphy now going to be in "Happy Gilmore, too?" So... Can I say, "Shooter did not look very good." Well, I mean, it's, you know, 30 years old. I know he's old and age, but Judge Reinhold looked pretty good. Taggard did not look good, but I... I think Reinhold was helped by the fact that he was constantly disheveled and beat up. Yeah. Like, he had, like, blood makeup on and they messed his hair up and he was... Yeah. No. Yeah. Like, Taggard, John Ashton, is old. He's just old. Very much looks the part. Yeah. I guess "Shooter," I don't know, was age. I guess he could be in the '70s, too, and just starting to Yeah. No. That's it. Well, again, like, picture what we're going to see with "Happy Gilmore, too." We're going to see, like, Adam Sandler, who's, like, 60 now, and then "Shooter McCaven," who's, like, 80. Like, what does that movie going to look like? I, you know, they're just on the senior tour or whatever, right? But it's like, do we want to watch that? I guess they threw that, they kind of threw that joke in there with him and Paul Reiser when he was dropping them off the airport. He's like, "Look at it. Look how good... Pretty much look how shitty Paul Reiser looks compared to me and we're, like, about the same age." Yeah. Yeah. Yep. They literally said that in the movie. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. This movie's a... It's not good. I opinion. Yeah. This movie is fucking perfect movie done for what it is. So I, um, I did have another question just the... So there have been three movies before this. Eddie Murphy goes to Beverly Hills and all of them, I would assume. Comes from Detroit and every single one of them, I'd assume. Yes. Okay. So my question was going to be, how does he always know where to drive? But I guess, I guess he figured that out. This ain't his first time... Yeah. Ain't his first time in Beverly Hills now. Ain't his first... Ain't his first... Ain't his first Rodeo. And I guess they... I got nothing for that. They didn't get, well, Rodeo drives that. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. Fuck off, Ski. That was hilarious. But they did also mention, they kind of briefly mentioned that he moved like his ex-wife and his daughter to Beverly Hills. So that's my question too. What's up with the wife? Like was she... Ex-wife. Yeah. But like, what happened with her in the movies? Like... Do not... Did not show her in any of the movies. So that was... Yeah. Ever. Okay. Yeah. Fair enough. So why start now? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Fair enough. Like I said, they kind of just threw that whole plot line in for, and we need someone else to be in this movie. Luis Guzman. Like, I, by the way, like one of my... The joys of this movie for me was seeing Luis Guzman. Luis Guzman. Yeah. In that role too. He is great. Yeah. In that role, a gay cartel guy that owns like a karaoke bar. Glitter. Yeah. Glitter on his face. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh. Luis Guzman is a fucking legend, man. Like, waiting. Counting Monte Cristo. Like, giving all of Luis Guzman. I mean, there's a reason why in the TV series, Community, they have a statue of Luis Guzman at the... Amen. Amen. Pray to the altar of Luis Guzman. By the way. Uh, just like planting the cocaine and the trunk of the Prius. Like, like, God damn it. Again, classic moves you could do in the 80s as a cop. Yes. Um, it just doesn't really work anymore. You can't, everyone's got dash. Everyone's got cameras on them now. How are you going to break into a Prius with like the alarm not going off? Somebody tell me that. Somebody tell me that. Like you get a, you, uh, program a key fob. Is that what you did to get into this car? They're fucking co-ops. They know how to get into it. You're not, you're not reaching in with a, a clothes hanger pulling, pulling locks up anymore, man. Like you're not, you're not like reaching in with, you know, like a little lock picks. Yeah. You used to be able to get into cars very easily. Very easily. Yeah. I know it's a Toyota, but it's an electric Toyota. You can't just do this. It's not like a Eddie's car in Detroit. He's still driving that old Chevy Nova from yeah, which, which like again, he shows up to the airport. Ryan holds supposed to pick him up and he gets kidnapped. So obviously you can't pick him up. He's like, they're out of rental cars, but I was able to get a great deal on this Ford Bronco. It's like, shut the fuck up. Like shot. How much, how much a Ford Bronco is right now? Like those older ones? Well, it's like, well, right now they're like, 50 grand for like a beater that needs like full restore. Yeah. I think I remember Malaney telling a joke about that. Do you know how fucked up it has to be that they like stopped making the Ford Bronco to like about OJ? Like imagine if you did something so fucked up, they stopped making the Honda Accord. Yeah. I think that was his joke. All right. We got a couple minutes left here. You have anything else before we grade it. Um, it was nice seeing Bronson Pinchot, like Serge. They did the hair was fantastic. Get the fuck out. And he was like, no, I cannot talk. Yeah, that's, that's good. It was genuinely like Luis Guzman, Bronson Pinchot, really nice to see them hadn't seen them in a long time. It was nice to see them in something. So I'll give this, I'll give this movie that. At least that. Yeah. No, that's all I got. All right. You want to, you want to go ahead and grade this thing? All right. Um, I guess it's things I hear. What are we doing out of this week? Let's do five. It's a, it's a fourth movie. So let's do it out of five. All right. So we're doing SQL theme now. So I'm going to grade this not on just the actual quality of a movie. I'm putting it as a sequel. Where, where is this rank as a sequel? Sure. I'm going to give it a, a three point nine because it did well, it kept to the original, didn't deviate a lot.
