It is on Hulu and it came out in 2022, has a 57% on Rotten Tomatoes, 5.9 on IMDB and does not have a Metacritic score because there have not been enough reviews of this movie to have a Metacritic score. That's what it said on Metacritic. Major, remember, Major League 2 wasn't even on Metacritic. So I don't know what that means. Anyway, but this movie stars Ron Perlman as Poppy or Pappy? I think it's Pappy, Pappy too. I think it's Pappy too. The two of you know that's two of you's, yeah. They don't actually say his name though, that's just the name of the bakery. Yeah, kinda like Nick Cage and Willie's Wonderland. Yeah, yeah, mystery character. Yeah, Harvey Keitel plays Merchant, Elias Kotius, plays Vic, Joel David Moore plays Peter, Emma Ho plays Delphi and Varen Saranga plays Manny. Elias Kotius, you will recognize. It actually took me a second. I was like, where do I know that fucking guy from? And then you look up as IMDB and he is Casey Jones in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So I don't think I've seen him in much sense then, but he's-- You don't recognize him from the hit like NBC show, Chicago PD. He's on that? Are you sure that's not the other guy? Like Chris Maloney? He was on, I think he was. No, Maloney is on like SVU or some shit like that. Yeah, I was like, let's not mix him up with the glorious Chris Maloney. They might as well be the same person though. They always just like brooding people. Kinda. Movie written by Paolo Mancini and Thomas Michael. Who also wrote a movie called Blood Shed. That's like pretty much it. Mancini's also in this movie. He played the like the Dirty Copp. The Dirty Copp. Who uh-- Fuckin' Copp. He's a Copp. Who dined out Pappy to the bad guys. At least, this makes sense to me now because the police characters were the most obsolete characters you could have in a movie. They didn't do anything. So I could see it now, it makes sense. Oh, I need to get myself in this movie. Let's get some cops in there that have nothing to do with the actual story. If you look at his IMDB page, you will see that he is actually in a lot of the movies that he has written and been a part of, yeah. So yep, yep, that must be part of his deal. He's like, I also get to play a part in this movie, yeah. No, like, 'cause even the main cop, like all she really did was like shoot a couple of bad guys in the hospital and that was pretty much it. Shot one bad guy that was chasing a girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep, let's see, movie directed by Jonathan Sobel who also directed the Padre. Have you heard of the Padre? 'Cause this sounds like a future ski movie. Meaning Machado? Nope, so the Padre-- Tony Gwen, see the Padre? Which stars Nick Nolte, Luis Guzman, and Tim Rowan? Like, on board, man. And a movie called-- What year, like a recent movie? Yeah, yeah, it was pretty recent. Yeah, right. And a movie called The Art of the Steel with Kurt Russell. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, he didn't see Kurt Russell. I would have thought that was a 2020 election movie. (laughing) With Kurt Russell and Lagatha from Vikings. And she's also in that, so, yeah. Probably good. Yeah, so he's got a good track record of movies kind of exactly like this. So, yeah. No budget or box office information for this movie is available at this time. So, I don't know, I don't know that it ever will be or that anybody-- Yeah, this must be like a Hulu original movie. I don't know that it is, 'cause-- I don't know what it is either, but have no box offer any, usually they do if it-- I think it was on Netflix for a while, too. So, like, I don't know, I feel like this was just made somehow and it's just sort of bounced around hoping some people would watch it. It's a money laundering movie. It's hoping that somebody like Ski will notice it and then make other people watch it. That's exactly what's happening. And that's exactly what's happening here. I mean, I only picked it because it seemed like, I guess we'd call it a prequel from his "The Retirement Plan" movie with Cage We Watched. His character seemed eerily similar. It's exactly the same movie, Ski. It is exactly the same. But it's a prequel to his character from that movie. I like that. I like that, yeah. I was gonna say that, too, by the way. Listener, like, go back in the archives and find "The Retirement Plan," the Nick Cage movie we talked about. Ron Perlman also in that movie. It is the same movie, you guys. (laughs) So, I think-- I think this one was done better. I think it was, too. I do, too. I was gonna say, and I think Perlman was better in this than Cage was in that. I think, I know. That's a big statement, but yeah. I don't know. King doesn't like it. Well, you're very down on Nick Cage, just-- I'm never down on Nick Cage. Never. I'm not calling you a hater. I'm not calling you a hater. You just, you downplay him sometimes. I think this is actually his overwhelming love is the thing. It's not, it's his love for Perlman, not his disdain for Cage. I do love me some Ron Perlman. I remember being very sort of disappointed with "The Retirement Plan" just because it was like, maybe the worst I've seen him. And I was like, "Oh, I don't wanna have this." "This can't be my memory of Ron Perlman." That's like, "Let's watch Hellboy," and just like, flush that. Like, yeah, yeah. That's what happens when you're only in the movie for like 15 or 20 minutes. It's not his movie like this. He gave it his all for this one. He did, yeah. And by the way, like props to him for all the action he did in this movie. 'Cause, you know, he's old as shit and like, clearly very out of shape. And was doing some like pretty decent bite scenes, so. I think you're giving a lot of credit to his stunt guys right here, it sounds like, and not him. And the director too, 'cause like that scene in the bread truck or whatever. Like the fight scene in the back of the truck was fucking awesome. Like that was, excuse me, that was really, really cool. So. - Sure, I will say that we'd miss that in the retirement plan 'cause Cage was just killing shooting people. Perlman didn't have a gun, he was just. - No. - Using this fucking giant ketchup- - Stop it. - This giant ketchup-mit fucking hands to break people's necks and just kill 'em. - And then the kicking the Ukrainian boss while in the bathroom, like into the wall, like Jesus Christ, like huge catcher's-mit hands, he's also got catcher's-mit on his feet. Just destroying people. That would suck getting punched by Ron Perlman, I think, you know? - Yeah. - He's kind of a big guy. - Why is he so big? - I don't know, he's freakishly big. He is. - Did no one get a basketball when he was a child? - Right. - I wanna see a basketball in his hand. - You're telling me he couldn't have been Will Perdue? (laughing) - Bill Cartwright, I mean, it's there, he's there. - Luke Longley? - Yeah. - Yeah. - You're not wrong. - Yeah. What was he doing in the '70s and '80s? - Drugs? - Oh yeah, all right. So Joel David Moore also in this movie for a little bit. He, you might remember from Grandma's boy as... - Any else turn nuggets? - Yeah, that guy. (laughing) - I'm wide, this is so good. - I mean, literally, I just brought him up just so I could say that line. - That's great, no, I appreciate it. I haven't heard that in a while. (laughing) - How did they see me? (laughing) - So good. (laughing) Yeah, so he plays the son of the baker. And essentially he gets in over his head with some drugs and the merchant and Vic and is trying to make money on the drugs that he ended up with and leaves his daughter with Ron Perlman to like watch for like a day, which is a pretty like, you know, it's weird in that we later find out in the movie there's this French neighbor, right? Like this woman who has a couple of kids of her own and sometimes watches Delphi when he works late, right? So like why not just have Delphi stay the night there as opposed to going to your dad who you apparently haven't seen in like 15 years or so. - Oh, he had to get out of town 'cause he had all the drugs at the time. - Sure, sure. - So I think you take her and you go. - So is that the idea? I just like get the kid out of the house. Okay. - I was very confused on the timeline of that scene 'cause we see her take her out of school and then somehow like two days pass for him just to drive down there and then drive back to the city. - Yeah. - It seemed like they're living Miami and he lived like just outside of it. I don't know why it took so long to do all these driving. - Wait, so you're talking about when the sun leaves. - He leaves Delphi with him. No, they're eating like breakfast there with him. And then all of a sudden he's driving through the night to get back to Miami. - Yeah. Yeah. So how far away were they from? - That's what I'm to wear. Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - No, and then he gets killed in the house. Like so his house. So did, okay. So I think I figured it out now. So he, they lived in Miami. - Yes. - He drove to his dad, the baker who lived somewhere else. Okay. - Yeah. - I don't know why I had it like pictured in my head that they're in the same city. Like. - 'Cause it all takes place. Like it seems like they're right there, but yeah. - It seems like it is, right? Yeah, okay. - It made it weird just with the timeline of, yeah, the night and day and shit like that. But I, so the real question is like, I'd say you, you guys were in his shoes. You guys find a duffel bag full of a bunch of drugs. What's your move? - I steal one brick and give the rest away to, to the authorities. - To the authorities. But how do you move that brick? So that's his problem. - Oh, I just, I just use it. I just self-consumption. I'm not selling it. - You're not selling it. All right. - I personally use, I kill myself on cocaine. Like what do you mean, Ski? Like, I'm sorry. Like, is there another option here? - I mean, I just can't take it all. You will end up getting killed. - Yes. - Like, case in point of this movie, yes. - Yes. - But yeah. But let's say you wanted to, let's say you wanted a brick to yourself, but you also want some money too, right? You want to live it up with your brick and cocaine. I mean, you do what he did, right? He went to his guy that he buys drugs from and says, "Hey, you want to buy this off me? I mean, that has to be your move, right?" - I think we all, as a society, have watched too many movies when it comes to this. Because I think if you are trying to move that amount of drugs, the chances of you coming across the person who lost the drugs is like way higher than you actually selling the drugs, you know? Like you can portion it out, I guess, and go under the train tracks and sell drugs if you want to do it that way. But that's not how we want to do it. We want to get it out of our possession and get money as soon as possible. Yeah. - Hey, that's the hard question. Let's say it's not blow. Let's say it's like stepped on crank that you don't want to do, but you're not just going to turn that in. Are you going to find a way to sell that? And that's the hard part. It's like, how do you-- - Who am I selling crank to? Well, that's what that's the same. You got to find someone that buys it all for me. That's the hard part. - And in mass quantities, exactly. This is like impossible to do, Ski. - I think this was a realistic movie in that sense. The only person he knows is the guy he buys drugs from. So he says, how do I get rid of these drugs to get money? I talk to the guy that sells drugs. And I would do the same exact thing if I had a drug dealer. - And the guy that sells him drugs knows came from and narked him out to the guy. And you know what? The guy ended up at his house and killed him because of it. - Yeah, that is the outcome. I would say most often than not. - Always, especially if you have bags of clothes that you try to give him instead of drugs. That's also-- - Oh, we've got shit he'll fucking daughters taking your drugs out of your bag. - So, okay. - She killed her dad. Let's just say that. - Got a question. Got a question. Got a question. So did Delphi steal the drugs and put them in the bag? Or did the dad do that? Because the dad seemed genuinely shocked like when the clothes were in the bag. - I showed that. She went in the car and looked in the bag. And then we got a, yeah. - Oh, I think I missed that. - She was all pissed off 'cause she didn't want to stay with Pearlman, she wanted to stay with her dad. So she went through on her headphones and went in the backseat and filled around with the back. - Yeah, so she didn't actually squawk at all. - I missed that part. So, yeah. She killed her dad. - She killed her dad. - Mm-hmm. - Oh, what a horrible child. - I know, God. - Simba did the same in a recovery. - It's true. - That's true, yeah. - How much money would you pay to have Ron Pearlman read you bedtime stories? - Hmm. - I don't know if he's even in my top five. - Yeah. - Uh-huh. - Okay. - Top 10, though, for sure. - Okay. - Okay. - I think this is just too wrong. I think Ron Pearlman just reads a lot of books. So I said that was his character in the retirement book. He was always reading with the kid in it. You know, like here's a book you should read. - Same character. - He's sitting there just in his old man share, just reading his book. I think that just Pearlman on set, like, I'm reading books. So try to work this in. - That's why he signs up for movies now. - Yes. - Do you guys read books? - Yeah. Are you reading books? - No, not really. - I got a couple books over there right now. - Are you reading Piranescee is the book I'm reading right now? - Hmm. - I mean, is it cheating for audio books? I mean, it's the same thing, right? - Well, it's not reading. - I know, but it's the same thing. It's the words from the book getting- - Oh, glistening to my podcast, you know. - I'm into it, though. Like, I see where you're coming from 'cause you're getting more from the book than probably a podcast that you listen to. - Yeah, because they're reading the book word for word. It's this, they're doing it instead of me. - Yeah, it's not reading, it's listening. - I know, but it's, that book is getting- - Are you- - Do you listen to audio books? - No, I don't. - Okay. So, Ski, Noah- - Is he very passionate for a second about audio? - I'll just say, this is hypothetical. - Noah's the answer to your question. - How many kindles do you own? - Kindles. - Yeah. - Is this still a thing? - Been a while. - I bet you they are. But if you walk into a best buy, you'll find mega kindles. - Those are the things we gave our kids before we gave them iPads that we could trust them with. We gave them kindle fires for like 75 bucks on Amazon. - Yeah, 'cause they're jerky. - Yup, yup. - And they were trash. - Yes. - Not good at all. - No. - No, but they were exactly what like our Cheeto finger kids needed. - Yes. - Like to play the fucking, to play Angry Birds on. - Yeah. - Whoo! - Yeah, yeah. Angry Birds and there was another one that was like this alligator who would like cut like water streams and stuff and try to- - Oh, that one. - Yeah. - Yeah, why aren't those birds so fucking angry? Easy there, Birds. - Did you watch the movie? - I definitely did not watch the movie. - Do you watch movies, Ski? - Man. - Not from furious birds, I don't. - Do you see what I did? Do you see what I did? 'Cause I'm Thursday. - He spun a ride on his face. - 'Cause I'm Thursday. I don't watch ports and now. - Ski do? - Oh, I got it. I was there. - Ski do you like movies? See what I did? Okay, all right, all right. - Oh, the movie podcast, I got it. - Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. All right, all right. - I did, so again, I think this is sort of like a new genre of movie that sort of started happening around like five or six years ago, where it's like sort of these like lower budget action movies that where like these used to be like, you know, straight to DVD sort of like trash movies that nobody watched other than Ski. And like nobody, like they weren't good. Like the quality wasn't very good. But I think recently they sort of turned and like, 'cause they, 'cause I think this movie is good. And you know, there's like that cell block 99 movie or whatever with Vince Vaughn. That's like, it's like that too. It's like this low budget movie that nobody knows about that is like bad ass. It's got like bad ass action in it. It's got like a pretty simple story that like you don't need to think very much to watch. And you just, you sit, you shut your brain off for a while and watch a dumb movie with some like good accurate. - You're just describing those movies in the 80s and 90s. The only difference now is that you're getting higher quality people to be in them. - Yes, higher quality people, higher quality like cinematography, action is better. - It's not, it's you think it's better. You think it's better, but it's not. It's just with the times. If those movies in the 80s are being made now, it would be the same thing. - I think the difference is less slow motion in these movies. - Well, that's how they had to do back then. - 'Cause all those movies in the 80s had like the, the really slow motion, like. - Whoa. - And then it'd be like the shimmering sound effect or whatever. Like they're, they didn't have CGI in the 80s good enough from due to cough to catch an arrow in midair and then sling it back at the guy. - I don't know. - I didn't have that. - Pretty sure I saw Hot Shots part do. And I think they did that in the 80s, late 80s. - I'm pretty sure. - Yeah. - I think the arrow was a chicken maybe. - If they can shoot an olive out of a belly button then they can do a. (laughs) - It's definitely a chicken in the bow and arrow. - Yeah. - Bow and chicken, yeah. (laughs) Was that actually in the movie or was that just like the? - I feel like that was just the movie poster. - I think it was too, yeah. - I don't think that was in the movie. - I don't remember it in the movie, but I remember the visual of it for sure. - Boy. - That, that sheen era baby. Ooh, good stuff. - Prime sheen. - Why did we watch the second one for this fucking podcast? - 'Cause we all, because we went over it. We thought we remembered it as being better and good. - No, we remembered stuff that we thought was in the first one was actually in the first one. Yeah, that's right. - We combined the two to assume it was a good movie, but it was just some mildly good thing split. - Really, really bad. Yeah. Again, the difference between that movie and Despensibles, is that what they're called? Expendables? - Expendables? - Despensibles? - Yes, Jesus. - Christ, I was dating them. - Yeah. - I was blank, man. - The guy from Frasier. - I feel shame. But the difference between-- - Oh, it's a grammar? - Yeah, Kelsey Crabber is in a lot of them. - Yeah, he's in a lot of them. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Difference between-- - Oh, salad and scrambled eggs. - That comes up dope shot. - Grenade launcher. - Would have been better if Niles was in the Expendables for some reason. - It would have been. - In Ros, if Ros was in-- - Ros. - The Frasier's dad would have been in good. - And they're just doing crimes by shoving people's heads into propellers. And he just stands up from a recliner. - Sly, you did it again. I'm just painted. And then he looks to the crowd. - Meh. - That's what we need moving forward with the Expendables movies. - I think he's dead, but-- - We need the Frasier cast. We need like mad about you. We need wings. - Poor Paul Frasier. - For Eliza Week. - Wings could work. - Get Tim Daley out there. - And Daley, Steven Weber, they're in. - Tony Shaloop. - They're in. - Tony Shaloop is available, guys. Go find him. - Thomas Hayden Church, set in. - Again, again, do we need to keep going on? Like, that's a fucking stellar cast. - And Roy, I don't even know his name. Just Roy Viggin. - That's Roy. (laughing) - Oh. - The same hyper mayor, so Chijinx. - I forget what I was like. Oh, yeah. So the difference between hot shots part do and Expendables is like, just quality, right? Like, they're both the same essential shitty plot and movie, but like one of them-- - One is a spoof, the other is a highly rated budgeted actor. - Highly rated. - You almost said intelligent. No. - First one, first two. - Yes. - Did we finish watching those? - No, God, no. - We haven't seen the newest one. - Yeah, okay. When does that come out? It's gotta be soon, right? - It's been out. I think it's streaming somewhere, yeah, I think so. - Do you ski? Do your job, man. - What are we doing here? Are we trying to complete this? - I got stuck on, I had two movies this week. One was an '80s titty comedy, and the other one was this. And I saved you guys from the '80s titty comedy. - Yeah, I feel saved. - Hey, hell, whoa, whoa. - I hate booze. - Would hate to see those. - Yeah, in other words-- - I mean, it was ski school. I mean, that's-- - It's perfect. - It's ski school. - Oh my God, what a flick. - It's so good. - What a flick. - That and ski school too. I mean, just-- - Doesn't that have like Zach Galifianakis in it or something? - No, you're thinking about Cole in the '90s. This is-- - Fuck you. - Can I mess that up? - This is what Dave, I don't even know his name. I was always like, "Dave," and Will Sasso is in one of them. - Of course. - I'm sure he wasn't in both of them? - I know he wasn't in both. - Okay. - I do have a question of what was Pearlman? Was he a hitman? Or was he like a black ops kind of military guy? - Well, I get the sense he used to be what Vic was. Like, 'cause he clearly knew who the merchant was. - Yeah, so we find out. - The merchant knows who he is. So he went in there, sat down and was like, you know, like they knew each other. So I definitely get the sense that he used to work for the merchant and was sort of like his enforcer guy. - But like his, all his information and stuff was like redacted by like the military kind of stylings. - That's true. - That's true. - Maybe they were black ops together when they got out. He went... - And he had like, he knew all those, like different languages. Like he spoke Ukraine, Nien. - Ukrainian. - And French, like... - 'Cause they don't do, they don't do a very good job of, they have some flashbacks when he's like dreaming. But that's it. And you can't really tell, he's just sitting there, like he's killed a bunch of guys. He almost passes out from blood loss, like 30 times in this movie, like... - The good thing I will say for Ron Perlman in his movies is he gets the shit kicked out of him, like people would if they did this. - That's true. Yeah. You know, like we do see, we do see that a lot in movies. How guys get punched in the face and it sort of, they just like roll with it. Like getting punched in the face, like hurts a lot. And it like swells up in bruises and you bleed a lot. Yeah, like especially if you're not used to it. I guess he's sorta used to it, but even then like... - I mean, half this movie was Roman standing in front of a mirror, like blotting blood off, I mean, yeah. There's a three separate scenes of it. - Like half of the movie is him like walking really slowly and almost passing out from blood loss and then him sewing himself up. - There was so much slow walking in this movie. - Yeah, I think he just walks slow. He does, but he cut that time down a little bit and edit it. - You think he's a good grandpa? I think he's like, I think he kind of is, right? Like for a guy who like had the grand kid like dumped on him and you know, like had to sort of figure it out, you know? - Well, I mean, I mean, he pretty much said that he like didn't raise his kid either. - Yeah, tries to like, which we didn't really get the backstory of that either. Like we don't know what happened to his ex-wife. I assume ex-wife. We don't know why he became a strange from his son. All we have is like that memory of them looking for mushrooms and him just sitting there. And yeah, so yeah, that was kind of weird. It would have been nice to have like a little bit of explanation of that. - Right, but unneeded, but yeah, it would have been helpful. - Yeah, like, I mean, you could even shoehorn in like a tragedy with his ex-wife, right? Like you could say like, oh, she also died in a car accident. Look, we're relating, grand kid. - I think that would be helpful too to get some dialogue in there when you have a character that says three words at the very end of the movie. - It's rough, that's rough. How shitty would it be that girl? It's like, all right, I got my break. I'm in a movie. I'm starring in a movie with Ron Perling. And I say nothing. - I like this song. That's it. - Yeah. - At the end of the movie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah, it's unfortunate for her. - She was good. She was mine. - Her acting that says no words. Yeah. - But again, like those are the words she says in the movie when like several points, it's life or death. Like she's in a life or death situation. She needs to tell somebody, like ask for help. Like, you know, whatever, and she won't talk. Like, you know, you know, like, I know she went through some trauma. I know why she's not talking, but you know, like, life and death is probably when you break that, right? I mean, I don't know. - Right, just, yeah, just a help. - I'm not a child psychologist. So maybe I shouldn't comment on this, but-- - A little stigma Freud over here, trying to break down this little girl's trauma. - Ski, sit on my couch for a minute. Yeah. - Yeah, get your glasses on. Not hitting the same. - I don't even know where they are. - I'm blind. - All right. Ski, this is your movie. - Yeah, it is. - Is it out of this week? - Are we grading it? - I mean, the only other thing I could say is Kitele was good for like the three minutes he was in it. - Yeah. - Classic Kitele. - Okay, okay. So the way we've been talking about this movie, it probably sounds like we don't like this movie and it's a bad movie. Like, I watched it and I enjoyed it. Like, again, again, it goes back to my point where they're making these movies nowadays like this, where they don't require a lot of effort. You just sit there and watch somebody you like. So again, they're getting big stars or like, you know, previous stars from like the past in these movies and they're like here. Here's some cool action. Here's a person you like. Here's a simple plot. You don't have to think about too much and that's it. And it's like an hour and a half. - You good? - I'm good. - I will fight against you a little bit 'cause like I said, if this was made 10 years ago, maybe 12, 15 years ago, this would have been a Scott Atkins movie. And with Scott Atkins in it, then you bump up the fighting in all of that. - You're not wrong. - That's the only difference. 'Cause like you said, it's probably similar budgeted. - Yeah. - In the similar, you know, plot to a movie that he would have done. - We don't have these movies without those Scott Atkins movies though. Because those were like super under the radar and then people started watching them and spreading the word like word of mouth with Scott Atkins movies and Michael J. White movies and all that stuff. Like it's like, hey, these movies. - No cold Steve Austin movies. - These movies are fucking rad. Like you should watch these movies. And then because these start growing in popularity, then you get buy in from people like Ron Perlman and Nick Cage and stuff. And then you can actually. - Yeah. We somehow, we've never done one of these movies either. - Yeah. - I was no one picked to Scott. Next time I'm picking a stone cold Steve Austin movie the next time. - I might see if I can find an Atkins movie myself for next or in a couple of weeks. We'll see. Yeah. Yeah, we're. - Good luck finding that. - Yeah, I know. It's a good point. All right, yeah, we can grade this. - All right. Out of five this week? So I heard. - Okay. I'll let you, I'll let you, I'll let you pick 'cause it's your movie. So. - All right. I'll go with five then. - Okay. - I am with you though, where this movie wasn't, this movie did exactly what it had to do with, with who was in it and the writing and everything. So I'll give it a 2.75. Oh, I think it was kind of right, right down the middle of not bad, not great. Just kind of right there. - Yeah. I like 2.5. Like, it's not bad. It's not really good. It's, it's okay. Like, again, like, I think the fact that they got the people they got for this movie, like elevates it quite a bit. So like, I think if it's not Pearlman, Kitell, that co-TS guy, like, I think it's probably like a 1.5, but it is. And so they're, they're good. Like they're good actors in these simple dumb roles. So. - Casey Jones was a little too brooding for me, though. - Well, it's just, this movie was about two, like, it's like the story of two haunted hit men, you know? Like who are, who are like trying to overcome their past or whatever. - One that got out, but yeah. - Yeah, one that got out, but still like has nightmares and the other who's still in and still has nightmares. - Right. - Yeah. - Check out brother. - I'm giving it a two. - Another, I'm not as big on Pearlman as you guys and Harvey Kitell. I mean, get over yourself. Seriously. You were in the Irishman, Harv. Like. - Oh, I'm a serious actor. Let me be CGI. And we're not each lifts. Like every other actor in the Irishman. Oh, I'm a throw-spian, man. - Are they CGI, Harv? - I don't think so. - I know. De Niro, yeah. I think it might have just been De Niro. - I mean, the best movie he was in was "The Rising Sun". Connor Lee and Snipes. Let's just be real. - I mean, Reservoir Dogs is pretty good too. - Nah, not better than, not better, not better. - I mean, he wasn't a little Mickey. - Come on, King. Don't forget little Mickey. - What do you mean, you don't like Harvey Kitell? He's your best actor in the world. - Did you call Harvey Kitell a lesbian, by the way? - No, but he could be. - Okay. - Oh, that's the mean, the lesbian, oh, that's the end. - You would be the little spoon now, for sure. - He totally would. - Yeah. - I mean, he could be like, yeah, never mind. - No, he was in "Clockers". I miss that. - "Clockers", yeah. - Just imagining cuddling scenarios. I mean, he was also in a Pulp Fiction. - They're overrated. - Yeah, I-- - Yeah, that scene in the cafe, when they're dancing in the adrenaline of the heart, ah, get over it. - Where he is, my brother. Keep her alive. You will know, my name is the Lord, ah. - Get over yourself, Sam. - Yeah. - No. - I love it. - I love that you called Harvey Kitell "Harve" in Samuel L. Jackson's Sam. - Sammy, shut up, "Harve". - I think I might be with you though, King, that rising son is his best friend. - It's great flick. That'd be maybe like, "Coughling". - No, "Coughling", is that a, um-- - Blown and-- - The loan, yes. - Yeah. - That and "Coughling" are his two best movies. - Absolutely. - Yeah. - All right, good. - You wanna know what, "Harve"? You're back in the game, baby. - He's back, baby. - He's back again. - God, I don't even need to go find "Coughling". - I do need to find "Coughling".
Braga, King, and Ski talk about The Baker, a movie in which Ron Perlman plays a former hitman trying to protect his mute granddaughter from Harvey Keitel and Casey Jones from Ninja Turtles. Yep, that's a thing. Is it a good thing? Listen!
