All right, see, your prompt is throat coat. Here we go, three, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one. - Well, Ken, you'll never believe this. Hold on to your heads. I was out until midnight last night. - What? How did you survive? - I barely did. I'm feeling it today. And it was loud, and I was yelling, so I'm sipping on some throat coat tea to warm my hands throat. - With your throat coat tea laid back. Hey, welcome to our talking podcast with your host, Ken and CJ, say hi CJ. - I did have some gin last night, actually. - Oh, and juice? - No, tonic. - Oh, just, oh, that's good. This is the over talking podcast where we talk about TV shows and movies and shows and barogests, and say hi CJ, and hi. - It's just the boys. - It is me, that's my throat sound. - Honestly, your voice sounds fine, I don't. Maybe the throat coat's working. - Thank you. - Yeah, just the boys. We're gonna talk about some stuff we've watched recently, 'cause we all need that. I just wanted to have for you with you for a second, CJ, 'cause you were out late last night. This upcoming Friday, at time of recording, will be Friday the 13th, not in September, and I'm going to a Friday the 13th marathon at the music box. - Hell yeah. - They're showing the first eight, Friday the 13th movies. - Insane that there's eight of those. - I know, it's noon until like 3 a.m. So this is like a music box of horrors. - Stam. - Prep, prep day, basically. - Are you gonna drive home at like 3 a.m.? - Yeah, I guess so, that's the plan. I rented a parking spot, and I'm just gonna, I guess, drive back. I don't know if I'm gonna actually make it the whole time, 'cause part eight is a movie we actually covered on the podcast before Jason takes Manhattan. - Wow, that was fun. - It's not really the best movie, but it was a fun one, it was probably gonna be fun with the crowd, but after having watched seven prior to it, I don't know. I can sleep at like nine p.m. these days, so. - Oh, totally, I'm in bed by 10, like reading. - Oh yeah, yeah, same. - I do remember that movie, a really awesome part, where he punches a guy to decapitate him, right? - That's right, that's right. - Yeah, that was the best. - That's flying. - Yeah. - Lapped out loud. - Yeah, because, of course. - Great movie. - I'm genuinely excited, I think it's gonna be really great. Friend of the show and my brother-in-law Nick will be attending with me, and I think Meg might show up too, or a couple, but yeah. - Are you gonna eat your weight and popcorn? - That's right, and I get to try out the new chairs they have there. - Oh, that's right, just replace them, so. - Yeah. - We'll see how that goes. - Yeah, you'll have to report back. - For sure, yeah. Tune in, I think, yeah, next episode. - So yeah, it's gonna be a long time watching a lot of these movies, I'm gonna have a little energy, but maybe not, because I got my magic mind, baby. - The mental performance shot? - You know it. - Yeah, I'm still drinking magic mind every day. It's the little shot of matcha and other natural ingredients that help me focus and bring my energy up, especially in the morning. Are you still drinking a sieve? - Drinking it every day, it complements my morning coffee. I'm still doing that, so it's not meant as a replacement for that, you can still do both, and they are committed to using only the highest quality, clean ingredients in the product. - That's right. I've been talking a lot about how it's helping me at work, but yeah, hopefully this can help me stay awake and alert during this movie marathon as well. - Yeah, you're gonna need it. - I think it's gonna be very effective given how it's been working lately. And yeah, I don't always drink coffee in the morning now because I've got my magic mind. It doesn't have to replace it, but I don't know. It's enough for me sometimes, too, to just get by on that. Also, it's got new tropics. I am very interested in new tropics lately, and I think it's been helping me focus throughout my day. - Yeah, I think the whole, yeah, it's got lion's mane. I hear about that more and more from people that they're taking little mushroom pills in the morning to help with brain function and stuff like that. - Yeah, it's got everything a healthy brain needs to focus and be alert throughout the day. And we've actually got a new code this week. So listen up, this is only available for the first 10 uses. It's a 40% discount, and the code is over-talking pod 40. That's O-V-E-R-T-I-L-K-I-N-G-P-O-D 40. And you can use that at magicmind.com/allcaps/over-talkingpod40. The link is in the show notes, but yeah, it's only for the first 10 uses. So get on a quick, people. - Jump on it. - Absolutely. But look, we're not talking about what we are going to be watching. We're talking about what we have been watching lately. So see what you've been watching. - Well, Ken, I've been watching a couple of movies, and I'm having a realization where I'm having one of those feelings where like your internal idea of yourself is maybe not matching how others perceive you. And let me explain. I internally feel like-- - That's what you're watching here, oh my God. That's what I'll get to. I internally feel like I see myself as a bit of like a comedy nerd, and I really enjoy comedy movies. And yet, all I talk about on this show are very mediocre action movies. (laughs) - That's right, yeah. - So today, I have been watching Borderlands. - Okay. - Which has a star-studded cast, and is based on the video game franchise of "You're Not Aware." - Did you play the video game, for instance? - I've played bits of it. I remember, this was years and years ago, and I couldn't like get into it. In my mind, I remember just a lot of like running through a desert, and just, so it was just a lot of time spent not really doing anything, but just getting from one location to the next. - Okay. - But maybe I should revisit it, 'cause currently I am on a slew of like RPG games. I played both the Spider-Man games, or Spider-Man and then Miles Morales. I haven't played Spider-Man 2 yet, 'cause it's not available on Steam. Then I played a couple Batman games. Batman Arkham Knight is really good. That was a lot of fun. And then yesterday, I just finished the main story of GTA V. - Oh, wow. - So I really am just like, and so I'm now-- - I know the old school games. - I'm like craving another like RPG games. Maybe I should revisit Borderlands. - Did you finish back your baseball yet? - No, yeah, I haven't played that. - You gotta finish that one first. - Yeah, I gotta knock out a league champion chip. You're right. - It's baseball season. - They're actually, they might be making more games. - I actually saw that recently. - Yeah, I've been seen on Instagram that like this account for them has like become active. - It's all thanks to you. You bought one game and they're like, "Oh, someone might be still playing this." - No, it's thanks to this guy I follow on Instagram who plays backyard baseball. - Okay. - That is very entertaining. And I think as in the Midwest somewhere, I'm trying to find his account, but maybe it's not. Oh, squid legs, S-K-W-I-D-L-E-G-S. - We gotta have him on the podcast. - Yeah. - Reach out to him after October. August 20th, Backyard Sports Official Instagram account posted. Backyard is back. It all counts. Hell yeah, baby. - Awesome. So maybe I will be playing whatever they come out with next. - Okay. - I definitely am gonna buy that. But anyway, back to the movie. So really, so it has a star studded cast, Jack Black voices the robot. My brain is tired. I can't remember. Cape land chat. Jamie Lee Curtis. I was very curious because it got such bad ratings. As of this record, it currently sits at a 10% tomato meter score. - That is extremely low. - Yes. And I was watching this in our living room and Emily was like, "Oh, what are you watching?" And I was telling her, "Oh, it's Borderlands. "It has such bad ratings." And then rightfully so, she asked, "Why are you watching it?" (laughs) Perfectly reasonable question. - Yeah, 'cause, you know, it wasn't even really for the podcast at the time, I would assume. - It was not. But here's the thing. It's one of those things where like, because it has such a bad rating, I'm like, what is going on with this? So all in all, is it a good movie? No, it's not. - Great. - But time well spent. - Oh, okay. I did watch it at 1.25 speed. (laughs) - What are you doing? (laughs) - Great question, Ken. Great question. - I think just got into the practice of like watching bad movies and like for the show, and now let's split over to your personal life. - Exactly. I just want something on. It's usually when I'm working out. So like, I just want to watch something to like kill time. - Sure, yeah. - Is it a 10% movie though? No, it is not that bad. - Okay. - That's where I'm perplexed. Like, it's not a great movie, but it is the same as half of the movies I watch. Like, it is not that bad. - All right, well, since then I gotta ask you, what would you rate it on a scale of one to 10 for you? - For me, it's probably like maybe a four. - It's not a one, that's nuts. Well, here's the thing with the critics who are around tomatoes, it's just a percentage of who rated it well versus who rated it poorly. So only 10% of critics rated it well. I think that's what that means. I think it's a rating of splat to full tomato. - Yeah. - I think. - I'm not positive. - Only one person rated it fresh apparently out of the critics. - I go. - He's the guy holding up that score there. - Or that's the top critics, sorry, 16 out of all. - I had the letterbox average rating here. Do you know what it is? - I don't know, what is it? - Do you want to guess? - It's, I mean, based on that, I think it's below a two, probably a 1.8? - 1.6. - Yeah, okay, yeah. - Yeah, it doesn't always average out to three apparently. - Yeah, apparently when it's that bad. - It's truly bad, it is bad, yeah. - And I think it's one of those things where it's like, it is a beloved franchise. So I think you're definitely getting a ton of people that are gonna be like upset no matter what that is like. - You didn't do it just as you meant, you didn't talk, you should have talked about this or included blah, blah, blah. It's like, all right, but you get that, a video game has like 80 hours of gameplay through the story and in this movie, you're getting an hour and a half or whatever. Like, it's not the same. Do you remember the story at all from the game or no you didn't play enough to really know? - I definitely did not get far enough. - There's also, I won't spoil it, but there's like a quote unquote twist in the movie, kind of, and you see it from a mile away. Like, I called it so early on that they're like, "Oh, it's actually you." And like, yeah, obviously. But again, I don't, yeah, like, I think it's like a four. It's not that bad. But it's also a gigantic box office flop. I saw the budget was like 110 million and it only made like 10 million. It's a real, it is. - That is incredibly bad. That is incredibly bad. Wow. - Yeah, really, really bad. - They made back 10% of their budget. That is so bad. - Yeah. - Wow. - Okay. - Oh, sorry, I, box office is 31 million, but budget is 110 to 120 million. That's still really bad. - It's still really bad. - Wow. - Yeah. - I mean, you know, there's still time for them to make money back when like, well, I mean, there aren't even DVD sales anymore. I got streaming rights. - It's, yeah, it's already available on streaming. - Oh, it's already? Yeah. This thing's doomed. Wow, that's awful. That sucks. - It came out on August 9th and where is the camera? - Did it at least like, look cool 'cause at least from the poster, I don't know anything about this movie, honestly. - Yeah, it looked very colorful. Did it like at least look nice? - Yeah, and there, it did. It's, there are certain parts where you're like, oof, obvious CGI, like that doesn't look too great. But yeah, it is fun at parts. Like there is a lot of action and people like fighting and stuff. So like, I didn't feel like bored ever or anything. So yeah, that's where I'm, yeah, I'm still like blown away that it's a 10%. Like it's not that bad. But yeah, it's, I realized I didn't even talk about the plot, but it's a group of people trying to find some alien vault on this planet. It doesn't matter. It's a, it's a ragtag group of people on a mission. That's, that's it. - Well, should people check it out? - Not, if you're working out and want something to throw on what to kill time. Sure, but otherwise not, I think you can skip this one. - Okay. Well, if you want something actually good to watch. - Ken, what you been watching? - Yeah, I've been watching some stuff. And my internal view of myself, I feel like is reflected by what I watched. So I think everyone kind of knows where. - You're on brand. - At least that's first two movies I'm going to be talking about are. Yeah, I watched a horror short film. And by short for him, I mean, it's, it's an hour long, but it's on YouTube. So it's not a real movie. - Still a movie. - It's a movie. I don't want to undercut it because it's very good. It's called Milk and Serial, but Serial is spelled like. - Serial Killer. - Serial Killer, yeah. - Good name. - It's an excellent name. The main character's name is Milk for some reason. And then the other main character's name is Seven. I don't know, it's a YouTube movie. But it's directed and stars Curry Barker, who has made some other pretty famous YouTube horror shorts, specifically thinking of the chair. Like I'm sure no one knows what I'm talking about, but CJ actually knows, yeah, but you actually know him because he's also in like comedy. He does like absurdist comedy stuff, right? - Yeah, so he's part of an Instagram like comedy troupe called, that's a bad idea that I've been like fed, the algorithm is like, oh, you would like this stuff. And I do. For people listening, I think he reminds me a lot of like the Tim Robinson type comedy. - It's like them being kind of like ridiculous and stuff like that. But people should check out the Instagram account. It's like that's dot a dot bad dot idea, I think, or something like that. There, yeah, they're really funny guys. - I assume most of those people are in this movie 'cause there's other people in this movie, like his friends. And at least the other main star has been in some of his other stuff. So I assume they just work together. - Yeah. - But yeah, I don't want to say too much about this because I don't want to spoil it, but I will say it starts with the Friend 7. They have like this prank YouTube channel. And by the way, this is all found footage, cam, shot style movie. And he's trying to prank Milk on his birthday where he bought a gun with blanks in it and hired one of his friends to come and fake shoot someone else. And things go from there. But yeah, I didn't spoil anything and it goes way off the wire and kind of unpredictable and amazing. It's only an hour long. And CJ, I feel like you don't love horror, but if you know these guys, it might be worth watching. I don't know. It's one of the best found footage things I've seen in the while. And it's not super scary, scary, but it is creepy. And it might be interesting to see Curry Barker in a different light than just a funny guy. But yeah, again, don't wanna say too much, but this is kind of all the buzz in the horror indie community right now. So I just wanted to share it with our listeners in case anyone's interested in what I'm recommending. And that's Milk and Cereal. It's not on Rotten Tomatoes because it's not, again, a traditional movie, I suppose is a better way to say it. But it's on IMDb, it got a 6.7 out of 10, which IMDb is pretty critical, so that's something. I'd say go check it out. - Nice. Yeah, that's a cool one, cool find, and it's cool to see people kind of, yeah, like a very, very, very indie thing have success. - Yes, yeah, this is getting a lot of buzz, and I think he's already gotten the movie deal out of this to make a full feature-length horror movie. I think it's gonna be based more on the chair, which I don't totally remember what that's about, but you can watch that on YouTube if anyone's curious. I watched a lot of random horror shorts on YouTube 'cause there's some good ones, and sometimes they get turned into future-like films like Lights Out. That was a recent horror movie that had a very creepy horror short before, you can watch that on YouTube. If anyone's looking for something spooky for the horror month coming up, there's a lot of great bite-sized stuff out there, so go figure it out. - Nice. - All right, rants overseas, what else have you watched? - I have watched 2024's The Killer. It's a peacock movie, and it's not the other movie called The Killer that came out like a year ago. - I'm getting confused, I need to look it up. - Yeah. - 2024? - Yes. - 2024's The Killer. - Oh, crap. - Yeah. - That's even hard to search for. - Yeah, 'cause there was a movie, there was a Netflix movie in 2020. - There were three called The Killer, starring Michael Fassbender. This is not that movie. - Is this almost Sam Worthington? - Yes. - Okay. - Which, like, yeah, I don't know why. It's apparently, I think, a remake of an older movie, but it's directed by John Wu, so I was like, oh, this should at least have fun action scenes and fight choreography and stuff like that. - It's a remake of his own movie from 1989. - There you go. - Oh. - Yes. - It was fine. - Okay. - So this one, I will talk about the plot a little more, so it stars a titular killer. She's like an assassin, that's kind of the main character. And she goes to this club to kill a certain guy and there is a musician, a woman who is singing there and through the fight in mayhem of gunfire and her chopping people up and stuff like that, the singer falls and hits her head and becomes blind. - Oh no. - Something happens where she hits her, like, optic nerve, or, I don't know. - At least it didn't lose her voice. - Yeah. So then the killer is like, oh shoot, well, that's still like a witness, she gets away. And she's like, oh no, like a witness got away. The killer doesn't know that she was blind and tracks her down to a hospital room and then realizes she didn't see anything because she's now blind and sort of takes a fondness to her and decides not to kill her. And then so there's a whole thing about, then she kind of wants to defend her, but the killer's boss is like, no, you gotta kill everybody, there's no witnesses, blah, blah, blah. And then she turns and teams up with like a cop at one point and this is all in France and at the end of the day and then she regains her site later on. Oh, spoiler, it doesn't matter. - See, the tone that you're taking really makes me worry that once again, you watch something that you really didn't enjoy. Is that the case? - That is the case. - Oh no. This one has a 58% on the tomato meter and a 51% audience score. So at least everyone is in consensus that this is perfectly average. - Okay, great. - And I would agree with that. - Okay. - I think for me, I also would probably give it like a five out of 10. It's like entertaining. There's some fun fight stuff, but again. It was so weird to have like, oh, let's make the character blind. So then she wants to save her, I don't know, that whole thing I just thought was like unnecessary and weird and some mediocre acting for trying to play blind. - Oh. - People enter the room. I get that you can't see them, but I think if all of a sudden you heard a voice to your left, your head would still naturally turn in that direction. - Especially if you were previously excited. - Exactly. - Yeah. - So there's a lot of that where like she doesn't turn it all to look at whoever's talk is like, no, you still, your brain, that's not how that would work. - I don't know, I hesitate to pass judgment on how someone who lost their site might act, but at the same time I can't abide bad acting in a movie that takes me completely out of it. And then it doesn't matter how good the story is. I don't know. - I think that part took me out of it a bit. So yeah, another mediocre movie I watched while I was exercising. - Great, great, great, great, great, great. - Oh, I'm sorry. (laughs) - I only have myself to play again. - That's true. - I do this to myself. I don't know why I'm just, I think I'm just fascinated by action movies that they like keep churning out a million a year and all of them are pretty average. - Of course, yeah. - It's, it's- - I can't all be winners, but I can't keep many, many winners anyway, besides the beekeeper. - Yeah, which, still shocked that you guys liked that more than I did. I, I, I, it was great. I love Jason state them, I don't know. - Actually, okay, speaking of the beekeeper, next on my list is, is gonna actually be a good movie. It's getting like amazing ratings. It's called Thelma. Have you heard about this at all? - No, it was Louise not available or is it like a prequel? (laughs) - No. - This, it's, when 93 year old Thelma post gets duped by a phone scammer, you know, some little beekeeper- - Oh, oh, oh, oh. - Pretending to be her grandma, exactly. She sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her. - Oh, wow. So it's- - That sounds very much like the beekeeper. - Exactly, but it's a 93 year old on like her moped or a little like scooter thing to get around. And it's supposed to be pretty funny. It's got currently a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. - Wow, okay. - Yeah. - So you haven't seen it yet though? - No, I have not watched it yet. It's like next on my list. - Oh, not my next movie you're talking about, next movie you're going to watch that. - Yes, yeah, yeah. Next movie I'm gonna watch that. - It should actually be really good. - Let me know how it is, that sounds great. And then I really hope that they follow it up with the beekeeper and Talma. - He like shows up in the post credit scene. - Yeah, or like, she starts fucking shit up and then he comes in and like finishes the job for her. - Yeah, they all share a glass of honey or something. - If only. - Yeah. - That's how I write it. - See, I have two more. I didn't tell you about the last one, but I'm just letting you know. In case you have something else you want to throw in after what I'm about to talk about, which is M9 Shyamalan's Trap. - Oh. - Have you seen trailers for this? - Yes, the big, I feel like they're in a box. - Right, what? - No, it's not that one. They're in a big, like a window box. - A window box? - Yeah, what's that one? - I don't know, what is that one? That's not this, it's not. I'm very curious what you're talking about though, 'cause that sounds good, I like window box. It sounds like saw or something. All I said was window box, you're like, "Ooh, that sounds like a good movie." - There's a trap in it, I don't know. - All right, talk about trap, and I'll find whatever the hell I'm talking about. - Trap is the, I can't stop thinking about window box, man. I gotta know. They're in a forest, they're in a room in a forest. - Oh, well okay, I'm actually gonna get to that in a second. That's called The Watchers. - Ah, okay. - Okay, I'm gonna get to that in a second, because that is related to M9 Shyamalan. That's actually his daughter, she wrote that. - Oh, okay. - Yeah, and directed it. - Maybe. - No, I'm telling you, she directed it. - Okay, good, all right, great. She directed that, great. I think she's the oldest daughter of his, but actually his middle-est daughter, Celica, Celica, she goes by just one name. Shyamalan is not part of her last name. She's a singer-songwriter, and she also stars in Trap, which Trap is basically, Josh Hartnett is a serial killer. This is all like straight up in the trailer and like in the premise. He's a serial killer, and they set a trap at this concert that he's taking his daughter to, to catch him. That's the whole movie. It mostly takes place at this concert that his, M9 Shyamalan's daughter selected as the headliner at. It's supposed to be like a Taylor Swift kind of following. - I have seen like, I think a trailer for this maybe. - Yes, yeah, I saw a ton of trailers for this. I don't know why, but yeah, this feels like, M9 Shyamalan specifically made this movie to jumpstart his daughter's music career, because it is all of her songs. She's literally singing them on stage, and she is featured very much so doing that. And yeah, she's good. I'm not saying like, it's not deserved, it's just for sure like nepotism, probably, I don't know. But yeah, it was really interesting to see that. It's totally separate from like the plot of the movie, but like, that's 100% what was going on here. And then she also acts in it too, 'cause they eventually interact with her a bit. But yeah, really interesting. - Did you know she also sings a song on the soundtrack for "Old"? - No, but that makes sense. - Yep. - Of course. Did you see "Old"? - No, God no. - I also did not, 'cause I heard it wasn't great. - Yeah. - Spoiler alert, Trapp is just fine also. Maybe probably I'm assuming better than "Old", but a lot of weird acting, Josh Hart and his character is really weird, and a lot of like looking directly into the camera talking to someone else, as I found off-putting, but maybe that was the point. The weirdest thing about this movie for me was how normalized they made it seem, leaving the concert while it's going on and just walking around, not in a rush, not worried about missing it, which was the whole purpose of this daughter going to this concert. They just leave and go, you know, get some merch in the middle of it while it's singing. Go wander around, get some other stuff. I don't know, it was really weird. And then I'll of course, Josh Hartnett leaves a ton, but maybe it's more normal for the dad to do that. I don't know, but yeah, we're moving. I'm not sure I would fully recommend it. 57% of Ron Simeo's, so it's pretty split too, but maybe a little better. For me, I'd give it six. It's fine. Yeah, I don't think there was any big twist, as you would expect in an image fan-line movie, but I don't know if he started moving away from that or not, 'cause I haven't seen "Old" or probably some other stuff, but yeah. Oh, and then yeah, I do want to see the watchers, even though I heard that wasn't great. That stars Dakota Fanning, and yeah, was written and directed by Isana Samalon. - Isana Knight. - Isana Knight Samalon. Oh, my bad. And then he has another daughter after that. I think I'm still old enough to do anything quite yet, but I'm sure just wait and so be in the movie business too, at some point. - Yep. - Yeah, really interesting. It's kind of branching out there with his daughters and only daughters. - Yeah. That has a 6.0 on IMDB, so exactly what you gave it. - Oh, I see, look, I am the average man. That's it. Are there anything else you want to talk about before I get to my third movie? - I can do like an honorable mention. - Yeah. - So a TV show that Emily and I have been loving on Max. It has nine seasons. It's called "Main Cabin Masters." It is a renovation show. - Oh, okay. - It is about this small company in Maine where the brother is sort of the head of the construction and the sister does the design work. But then the sister's husband, yeah, is also work's construction. So it's this like small crew of people. It is the most like pleasant show. They all get along, they make jokes. They just show you, they explain things and show you how they renovate these cabins in like on lakes in Maine. It is great. It is just the best to just like throw on when you want something just easy and pleasant to watch. And then they've now come out with a series where the main guy, his name's Chase. His family has now bought a home in Italy. And now it's about them trying to renovate that home in Italy. Which is way different than like log cabins in Maine 'cause it's all like brick and plaster and concrete, which they don't really ever deal with. - Right, huh? - Yeah. - Cool. - It's I highly recommend anyone out there. It's on Max, like I said, nine seasons of the show. It is just the most easy breezy, pleasant show to watch. - Reminds me of, do you ever watch "Tiny House" Nathan? - I've heard of that, but no, I have not. - There's a ton of these, right? But that's exciting. Cool. Are you gonna get the renovation bug now and help Emily out with some house projects around there? - I mean, yeah, we are always doing stuff. And by we, I mean, Emily, that's what I meant. I would slow her down, I think, with a lot of this. She knows way more than I do. Yeah, but she'll have to teach me a lot, I think, is what it comes down to. I have to be patient with my dumb, dumb. - Cool, nice. All right, I got one more. I was looking for specific, it's starting to cooler out, right? It's starting to get a little more fall feeling. - Yeah. - I was specifically looking for a movie that had fall vibes. That was my only criteria. And I watched a non-horror movie. Wow, not being prompted by either Meg or this podcast. Rare. I watched 1993's "Indian Summer." Have you heard of this? - No. - I did not. - Yeah, sounds like a problematic name. And they never really addressed what that means, but do you know what "Indian Summer" is? - No. - It's like super late summer, early fall. So when the leaves start to turn, basically. And I don't know if that's okay to say anymore. I genuinely don't, so don't come at me. It's the title of a movie. It's correct by Mike Binder, but it stars like a ton of super big names. It stars Alan Arkin, Diane Lane, Bill Paxton, Elizabeth Perkins, Kevin Pollock. And for some reason, Sam Raimi is in it. The director of "Evil Dead" and "Spider-Man." Huh, this is the only time I've seen him in a movie. I'm sure there's others, but it was really weird. He was like, so the premise of this movie is a bunch of people who used to go to camp together, summer camp together when they were younger, reunites back at their summer camp, called back by the head of the camp who was played by Alan Arkin. And 'cause it's like the last time that he's gonna be running the camp. So he wanted to share it with them. And remember all the good times back at camp. It's just a slice of life movie. There's really no plot beyond that. They just talk about where they're at in life. And remember all the stuff that happened back at camp. And you feel left out of all of the stories 'cause you weren't part of it. It's really weird. It's not the best movie. Honestly, the writing's pretty poor, but it stars a lot of good actors. So it's at least portrayed well. - Would you agree that this is a comedy as it's being advertised when I Google it? - I don't know. It's light-hearted. It's a light movie. I wouldn't say it's funny. I mean, I guess they go for that. They stick someone's hand in water while they're sleeping. Like, dumb pranks and stuff is about as funny as it gets, I think. I don't know. They probably didn't have anything else to categorize it. 'Cause it's not a drama. So it's gotta be a comedy or it's nothing, which is kind of what it feels like, it's nothing. - It's nothing. It says comedy slash romance. So like a rom-com. - All right. - Yeah, barely. - And yeah, the DVD cover says a comedy about eight friends who return to the best summer of their lives. - Yeah. Except for the comedy part and the romance part. That's true. - Okay. - Hey, it got two thumbs up from Cisco and Ebert. - Did it really? - Yep, wow. Well, it's got 58% of Ron's tomatoes. So that's better than some of this other stuff. It's fine. I don't know. I mean, it definitely has fall vibes. Like the trees are starting to turn. It's late summer. You get a little bit of summer, a little bit of fall. And that's all I wanted. So I was happy with it. But for me, I would rate it a mediocre five. I don't know. It's a perfectly average movie. It's a perfectly average movie to just put something on and not think about it too hard while good actors are on the screen. So. - Nice. - Yeah. That's all I watched. You got anything else, dude? - No, that's it for me. I've got a bunch of movies on my upcoming list, like Thelma and stuff, but yeah. - Well, if anyone wants to watch ahead for next week. - Yeah. - We are going to be discussing holes with Nadra Potty returning. - Holes. - I feel like our generation all read that book too. - That's right. - Yeah. - Yeah, I'm genuinely excited. I haven't watched it yet, but I am very excited to revisit it. - Yeah, I mean either. Yeah, absolutely loved that book and movie. I think I remember doing like a school project on it. I had to make like a, you know, like a board with a bunch of things from it and stuff. - Did your parents make you do that project and they wanted to do the plant stuff in the backyard. So they just put you to work. - No, this is for school, okay. - Had to present it in front of the class. - Oh, okay. - Yeah, watch that ahead of time. If you want to be in the know for the next episode and then after that, baby, it sucks over time. Oh, no. (whistles) So we will be talking about some more stuff that we will tease them for next time, but yeah. Stay tuned. Got a lot of good content coming for your ear holes.
