This is the Hope Cast Network, stories and shows you actually want to listen to. Welcome to another edition of Movie Torture, I am one of the hosts Roger and it's again November month and I'm here with the, I was trying to think of some creative funny thing to say, but I'm here with Brad. It's just Brad, it's just Brad. Thanks, Roger. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you showed up tonight after watching the Meg 2, or I like to call it Meg Dose or Meg Deuce because it is a deuce. Yeah. That would be Meg Ryan's face right now. Oh my gosh, Roger. That's below the bell there. He's got twice. We're joined by producer Gary who heard we were doing the Meg and came in dressed like a Megan at school and he got this mixed up. He's dressed like a Meg, but it's really a shark Gary. I thought he's going to wear his shark necklace with the shark teeth on it, you know? I thought he was going to come in dressed like a blow up shark, honestly. No, one of those shark costumes with the, anyway. Producer Gary's a lover of sharks. I've been over and he has a lot of shark stuffed animals. He's been to SeaWorld, him and his second wife would go to SeaWorld every other month. Season pass holders to SeaWorld. He always sits in the splash zone. I came in and saluting Jason Statham with, you know, I shaved my head. Oh, but. I said this one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I shaved my head too for this. Actually, I put on some muscles just for Statham. Meg 2, we actually, we have a sponsor tonight, Roger. Oh, we do? Yeah. This is the fourth movie in a row we've had sponsors and I'm loving the other woodwork. They're coming out of the woodwork. Again, we're up in commerce. We're going to catch you before you make it big, but we're going to make you big. Roger, do you ever worry about being bit by shark? Oh, yeah. All the time. You know, funny story. My mother and father-in-law paid for my family and us to go on a family vacation and it was free and we're like, okay, free's good. We went down to Florida, and my wife and I are swimming out in the water. We're like, why is nobody out here this far up to our necks in the ocean? Come to find out. You were four or five feet out. Yeah, we were four because we're short, we're vertically challenged. And not horizontally though. And we looked around and we found out they had paid for a trip to the shark attack capital of the world, New Smyrna, Florida. So my mother and father-in-law, who previous episode, you know, loved them some, what's that movie? Fifty Shades of Grey, but they also love taking us to beaches where we can get here. Did they have some insurance policies out in you guys when you're... I don't know, but if I'd have had this, I would not worry. Yeah. Tell us what this is. Now you can show that shark what Chuck Norris feels like. Fist feel like with sharkles. They have brass knuckles made just to punch sharks. One punch and the shark will die. These knuckles are not meant for whales or humans, just for sharks. Sharkles. Don't become missing in action. Be the Delta Force and punch that shark. Thank you, sharkles. For Mr. Gary's, are we going to buy, you know what... That was a biting spot, right? It was. It took the jaws to do it. We're going to provide everyone on staff a pair of sharkles, a set of sharkles. Not to be used on family members and friends. Yeah, so if you're mad one night, don't put on your sharkles. They could put someone down. What perfect additions to having your car, to have your NAS card from the previous month and your sharkles, that way, you know, if you have to throw some knuckles down, you know, you can use the circles. Well, now we're murdering people with sharkles. I don't think sharkles won't murder. No, I want to murder sharks. I was talking about knocking somebody out, you know. When I sharkle, when I sharkle shark, who's cleaning that shark up? When I sharkle. Well, I just got some serious road rage. He needs the NAS card. He does. He's a road ranger. He's going to start driving with sharkles. What's that? What's that thing about the woodchuck? Woodchuck woodchuck? Oh, woodchuck. The woodchuck. I don't know. The woodchuck. I'm going to sharkle some sharks. My wife's going to be like, "We ain't going out there swimming problem." I'm like, "Yes, we are. I got my sharkles on." If you eat the meat, they'd be shark-alicious. Oh. There we go. There's another snooze sponsor. They're in shark week. Why does it sharkles try to get an ad on shark week? I feel like that would be better than even being on movie torture. Anyway. Roger, tell us a little bit about Meg the Megalodon 2. Meg 2 was a follow-up to the Meg from 2018. This one was released in August 4th. This budget was $129 million to $139 million. The box office was $395 million. That had to be overseas, right? That's not in just the matter. It was shown in USA and in China. In the US box offices, there's no way that that's- Well, Brad, you did go to see this in theaters, right? I did. I asked you to go and you said that. Producer Gary was like, "I'm not going to see Meg 2. The trench." Well, I figured- Okay. Domestically 82. Okay. So only 82 million of that came for America. So the China people wanted to see the Meg because it was made in China, I'm sure. Right? China and the US. Okay. So how much do you say this movie cost to make $129 to $139 million? What was that spin on? The crappy CGI shark? Probably. Oh my gosh. It's really the only superstar in this movie with Statham. How much do you think, producer Gary, you should add this up, the budgets for every movie we've done combined, and then how much every movie's made, he pulled it out to start doing it. No, not right now, producer Gary. I'm talking about like for homework. That's going to be- Yeah. We're giving producer Gary. I love that you were willing to do it though. He pulled his phone. He's like, "I'm going to get the words. I got this." I didn't know what you were asking at first. It was like, "That's way too many numbers. I can't get that many numbers right now." Why don't you hold it out? Roger, get your mind out of the gutter. I wasn't in the gutter, but it was just yet until you said that. Meg, yeah, it did really well in China. You wonder if- You know what else does real well in China? What's that? Communism. Yeah. That's a real crap pleaser in China. That was kind of one of my questions. I wonder if this was supported by the Chinese government that they said, "This is a move you can go watch." 100 percent it was. Do you think China had to see a final cut of this movie? Probably. There was nothing negative about China in this movie. Does that make Jason Statham- China's going to shut our podcast down, by the way. Does that make Jason Statham a bad guy, because I got to be honest, if I'm an actor, I'm not doing business with China. I'm refusing. I'm not doing it. The other way I'm going to China to make a movie to help support the propaganda of China. Yeah. You would never see one of our American sports leagues throw millions and billions of dollars at China. Yeah. Who would see? And a super megastar who, you know, yeah, it's no way it never happened. You'd never see that. Never happened to the US. Little bit of Ron James. Yeah. The Meg II though, I was okay. She watched the Meg for the first time this year at my house. My boys and I watched it. So when I said, "Hey guys, we got our Meg tool coming out in August." My youngest was like, "Yeah, I don't care to see it, old man." But my oldest was like, "Yeah, I want to go watch that movie." We went and saw the Meg II at the theater and this movie, there's a lot to unpack in this movie because it is not on the Meg level. I do like the slogan that was on the movie poster. The trench? Yeah. No. New Meg. Old charm. Okay. Okay. So I didn't see the first one. What happened to the first Meg? Well, Jason Statham had sharkles in the first one because he punched that Meg in the face like a mouse. Anytime you see a man punch a Meg in the face, you know it's bonkers. So you go into this movie knowing this is not even close to reality. Because Jason Statham's punches. There's no real Meg in the world, right? They're all fake. Yeah. They were around back in the day, but not like now. There's only great whites. Yeah. And a great white would lose in a fight with a Meg. But Jason Statham punched that Meg out. So in the first movie, the little girl that's in this movie, her mother was killed in the first movie. So which is why and you know, no, no, she wasn't. The mom refused to come back in this movie. No, the aunt, you're right. The one mom was killed, but the aunt didn't come back in this movie because I was disappointed that she wasn't back in this movie. Yeah, because it said following the death of soon young Zhang, Jonas had been raising her teenage daughter, Maylene. That's her. Her mom, her mom lived through the Meg, but they killed her off because she didn't want to come back and be in this movie, which I don't blame her. I'd have been like, nah, no more Meg for me. I'm good. I'm good. Yeah. Do you think Jason Statham, when he read this, when he, okay, produced your guys like. This is what Jason Statham said. How much am I getting paid? And that's it. I think that's all he got because he does not care about being in a bad movie. Okay, but do you think movie producer guy was like, okay, we got a movie for you, Statham. It's called the Mick and you're going to get the punch mug in the face. And he's like, I had an ex-wife named Meg. I'm going to get the puncher. No, no, not a woman. Not a woman. Statham. We're not getting you. Me too. This is a shark. Oh, oh, I can punch a shark in the face. I can't really do a statham. He's more like this raw here, right? Isn't that more a statham? Nice. He became Australian. I'm going to punch you in your face. He went from being British to Australian. I would say that that second one was closer to you. Well, I'm going to punch you in your face. That's a little closer, but just. He thought he was going in getting a punch, a woman named Meg, so he could take his aggression out in the movie guys like, no, no, no, no, no, no, Jason. No assault on women. Only sharks. Oh my gosh. I'm a disclaimer, Dennis, said no sharks were harmed in the filming of this movie. Wait, really? There wasn't any real ones in this movie. I love how I led producer Gary there, though. Well, I don't know. Sometimes they do that if there's not a serious movie, but I guess they tried to be serious in this one. This movie takes itself way too seriously. Yeah. I don't think you can do that. I think shark movies peaked at Jaws, the first Jaws, and then they all went down him. They all from there. Yeah. Yeah. So I do like an actor in this movie, Cliff Curtis. He is slooming it in this movie. After I saw this movie, I sent Cliff a message. What? I did. I sent him a message on Instagram, trying to find it so you can actually believe that I really did this. Did you tell him it was slowing it in the movie? No. I didn't. Here it is. I asked him if he wants to come on, and he said, "Hi, sorry to say I don't do podcasts because my life is private. I usually do interviews in person." And I said, "Thank you for responding." But he responded. You know what I'm talking about, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Did you know he was a bright dancer? Cliff Curtis? When he was younger? Yeah. I don't understand why he's in this movie. He's too good of an actor to be in this movie. Again. He's my favorite actor in this movie. He probably got paid. Oh, my gosh. I'm going to find out what they made in this movie while you're... Keep talking, Gary. Talk about your shark love. Huh. Say he's Roman Catholic, which I find, yeah, of him, his descent. Okay. Okay. Here's what they made. We should start doing this every movie. Jason Statham pulled a cool 20-mill for this movie. That's not a lot considered and they spent 140 Megan in it. Sienna Guillory, whoever she is, 1.5 million. Cliff Curtis, 700,000. He should have been paid more. The little girl, 300,000. DJ made 250,000, Skyler, Samuels, 200,000, Sergio Mancada, 200,000, Wu-Jing, 170,000. So none of them made Jason Statham money, but wow, 20 million. I would have done this movie for 20 million. So the first like 50 minutes, you go to this movie, you want to see some Megan, right? You want to see the good Megan where they, or the Megs just come up and do some eating. It's chomping time. You don't go see Jaws to not see Jaws be Jaws. Yeah. I don't understand why these movies are made where they don't let you see the Megan. You want to see the Megs. I swear, Roger, we spent the first 50 minutes of this movie without a Meg attack. Do you agree with that? There wasn't anything happening. They tried to break through the glass, he tried to break through the glass. Did he die at that moment? That's when he, he went after the, the Chinese dude who, you know, who, who, who, I've always put himself in a bad position. He didn't die though. No, he didn't die. So we didn't see any kills until like 50 minutes in. Yeah. I didn't even understand what was going on. They are down. How many miles below? Like they're way down underwater. They're like 20 miles below or a thousand more than 20, they're like, they're probably like 10 miles below the center. They weren't in the trench. You know what to call it, the trench. Yeah. So they're in the trench. Are we to believe that the water pressure in the, in the water in the bottom of the ocean, they could actually get out in their suit and swim to where they need to go. I think we've had it in recently in real life where guys were in a one of those and didn't even get out of the water. What's that called? The quest or the sea quest or something? Yeah. Those people would love to have been in the Meg because then they could have swam in the bottom of the ocean. Yeah. Like do the people in China think you can do this? Like is this a thing? I don't know. That would be maybe that would be a good way if we ever went to war with China. Take them to the bottom of the ocean. We'll take you to the trench to keep you safe. You know. Not a bad move. I don't know. This movie to me was, the beginning part of this movie was not good. He should have, that Chinese guy or the Asian guy, I don't want to say Chinese might not be Chinese. He should have been eating at that point, right, because he was an idiot. I feel like you have to die when you're an idiot in horror movies. Is this even a horror movie? This isn't a horror movie, right? No. No. Is this even a shark? I think it's a thriller. He's really a thriller. Were you on the edge of your seat? No, I wasn't. Yeah. Because it was so predictable. This looked like Jason Statham was cashing it in. And see, that's the thing with Jaws. Jaws can never be beat because when they first put that out, that was the first time there was ever anything like that, and it was so real life, and so everybody who watched it just was like, I mean literally, I remember being as a kid. That came out in like '77 somewhere around there. I remember being afraid as a kid to go out to the beach when I was little because of Jaws. I had nightmares because of Jaws, and I didn't even watch the whole movie, but like it was featured a lot of the comic books I read on the back that would have the picture of a movie scene. So, yeah. We didn't even talk about the opening scene where he's in the shipping container. Like that has, I don't even understand that scene, honestly. I think it was just Statham trying to be like Jason Bourne. Yeah. And just show off is, but the sabotaging in this movie, there's lots of saboteurs. That lady's a saboteur. That scholar Samuel. Yeah. She's a saboteur. I like saying saboteur. Gary's over there reading something. What are you reading, producer Gary? What are you reading? I'm just... I'm listening. I'm not. He's like not even... He's half paying attention. I'm counting. He's researching as we're going along here. Yeah. So, let me ask you this, were you not at a point where you wanted to see the Chinese guy and the niece get killed just because they kept... I wanted to see all these people get eaten and become chum, honestly. I think it's time we see Statham lose to the mag. There's no human on earth that could beat the mag. And we hadn't even got to the octopus yet. I mean... I think what would have made this movie better is if he would have had an underwater car, you know, because he's really good in the driving movies. So, give him like a speedster, like a speedboat, underwater speed. Oh, like Italian job he was in? As you said, yeah. No, he's a spy on this one. See, he does a good spy-type style, I think, in most of like the Fast and Furious stuff and most of his movies, I thought. And the, what was the only reason he was a driver? Italian job? No, that he was like a driver, like... Transporter. Transporter. Yeah, that was a pretty good series. Yeah. Transporting. Transporting the transport. What was he transporting in that money? It just depended on each movie. I don't know. First time I think it was a chick. Could you see Gary being a transporter? Actually, I could definitely see Gary as an Uber transporter, like, limousine driver. What would Gary be in the mag? I'm envisioning he brings pizza to the crew. He has a shark, he has a swimsuit on, like, one of those body suits, but it's got Hawaiian logos on it. And he's like, "Pizza?" Pizza. It's got anchovies. And chovies. Fresh. Or would he be a guy that's, like, confused down in the sub, and he needs help? Because he doesn't know where he's at, and Statham shows up, and carries him up in his arms. I see him as being one of the bad guys on the ship that... Ooh, we've made producer Gary a bad guy? Yeah, I think he'd be a bad guy. 'Cause, you know, they were trying to attack the other people, and... Do they give Gary as the bad guy an actual bullet in his gun, or do they just give him fake bullets? It's not Barney. I mean, come on, mom. Yeah, the one bullet of Barney. He would shoot his foot off. Let's be honest. No. I would. Y'all know me. I load shotguns, Bronx, so... That shot Brad. So they ended up at a resort called Fun Island. Looked to anything but fun to me. Like, I'm so crowded. Is everything in Asia crowded? Yeah. Like, it makes me not want to go to Asia, ever. Like, I don't have... My wife's like, "Hey, Brad, let's go visit Japan." I'm like... I don't really know, like... Japan's a little different from China. But it looks crowded every time I see it. Like, it's a lot of crowds. In the cities, it's like that. But once you get out in space, I mean, there's... But Fun Island looks unsafe. Fun Island, that's still... And it's such an uncreative name. Welcome to Gary's Fun Island. He brings the fun, and he brings Gary. You'd have a roller coaster going underwater through a mag, you know? That's where a producer... He's on Fun Island dressed in a costume like a mascot, and he's waving. He's the mascot at Fun Island. I just feel like Fun Island's anything but fun. What is your worst amusement park experience? I have one. Go ahead and tell yours and I'll tell mine. So my wife and my niece were going, wanting to go to Cara Wins. And my wife was like... I was like, "I really don't want to go. It's hot outside." She's like, "You're just a wussy brag." And I'm like, "I don't like riding roller coasters. Full disclosure, don't care to ride them." I love roller coasters. I don't care about them. So she's like, "Let's go." She talks me into it. So we're driving. She says, "Let's stop getting something to drink." She gets her a coffee, cold brew coffee. I don't understand why she's doing it, but I'm like, "Okay." We get there. We get in line top gun. We're riding the top gun roller coaster. And I'm showing her... I got this, right? And she goes, "I think I got to throw up Brad." So she leaves me and my niece in line. She goes down and throws up, comes back, leaves again, goes and throws up. Finally says, "Y'all just ride this ride." So I rode the roller coaster. Then we got in line to ride another roller coaster, and she kept throwing up. And she's finally like, "We need to go." So we got in the car, and she threw up in our car, in the parking lot. Well, Chris. Yeah. So I make fun of her all the time. We actually went to the music park and I rode more roller coasters than you. And you claim I can't ride roller co. You called me a wimp. So... Have you been back since? No. I feel like I would not want to go back. That was my last day at the... Hey there. This is a movie tortures, very own, produced security here to talk to you about generous coffee. Every sip is an adventure of flavor. When you choose our meticulously sourced beans, you're not just getting a cup of coffee. You're embarking on a taste of journey. Here's why our coffee stands out. It's very rich and robust. Our beans are roasted to perfection, unlocking deep, chocolatey notes that dance on your taste buds. Imagine a velvety blend of whispers of caramel and toasted hazelnuts, bright and vibrant. With each sip, you'll experience a burst of citrus zest like a sun-kissed morning in a coat. The acidity is balanced, leaving refreshing afterglow, silky smooth. Generous coffee glides across your palate, leaving a trail of velvety warmth. It's like wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket with fireplace and every purchase fuels positive change worldwide. So go ahead, savor that cup. It's not just coffee. It's a flavorful revolution. Here's what Park would have been like, "Yeah, I wouldn't want to go back." That's the power move on me, right? She's been back. No, I don't think she's been... We have been back once. We took Max when he was a baby, but we didn't write... We just let him do rides. We didn't really do much. That's what you do when you've got a four-year-old. Nobody likes riding by themselves, right? You want to enjoy it, but yeah, I showed my wife like, "You know what? I'm the best roller coaster rider here." So back in the day, Project Graduation, 1988. Long hair, long red hair at this time? Yeah, it was either '88 or '88, and that could have been my girlfriend's Project Graduation, but we go to Kerawinds, we're riding Thunder Road, and a drizzle starts to happen. And so we're coming around into the loading and unloading dock. They're hitting those electric brakes, well, the electric brakes weren't working because of the water. Oh my God. So we zip on through there, we get to the bottom hill, they stop it, and then they say, "Okay, we want to try this again." So they go through again, and again, brakes don't work. You can feel them trying to catch them, it's not catching. Third time they get to the bottom of the hill, and they say, "Okay, we want to try it one more time." I mean, there's people like cussing to get off because they're scared. Yeah. So, Thunder Road was like one of my funnest rides. That's my favorite roller coaster of all time. So we go around, one more time, brakes don't work. So the next time they come, and they stop us at the bottom of the hill, and then we had to walk down off the hill to get off the ride. So that was a funny story because I love roller coaster that it didn't bother me. The fun part of it was listening to people who were scared, literally throwing every four letter word, being upset about it. And I was laughing, I was laughing at that because I thought it was funny. Well, see, I was never the roller coaster guy. My sister will ride roller coasters, my dad would, but people like, I got a couple, but I still don't like to do them. So my sister and my dad would ride before they got the fury. They'd ride like the Intimidator, like every time. We had season passes, so they'd get on it like every time. They said one time they got like the last ride before it started raining. So they were going to shut it down after that last one. But it started raining while they were on the ride. They said it was stinging their face like needles going down that ride. I also went to Cedar Point, which is up in Ohio. It's probably the best roller coaster park in the country. That's what my wife says, Cedar Point's the best. It is awesome. But she thinks everything in Ohio is amazing. Yeah. Yeah. I disagree. I have to tell you about a Buckeye story after the podcast later that I had with today with some special social media. So we're up on this one that's called, I can't think of the name of it anymore. But it's one of the roller coasters that's all about speed and it's smooth. It's one of the metal ones. And literally it's one of the smoothest roller coasters you ever gone. But at the time I think it was like 210 feet high, or at least the drop was. That's a lot. So we're up on that and it's literally right beside the lake. And this was probably early summer, late spring, where it still gets kind of windy up there sometimes. We're on the top of that roller coaster and you could feel the wind rocking the coaster back and forth as you're coming up to the top. Nope. I'm out. I, my fear is being on one that gets stuck or crashes. Like I don't, I don't want to die on a stupid roller coaster. I think that's a terrible way to die, although my son and I'll watch YouTube vids of all the stories of people dying on roller coasters. And it's always hilarious to me because people, not the dying, but it's hilarious. The brain power of some of these people that think they can like run under the fence and get something while the roller coasters come in and they get beheaded. You're like, dude, just wait till it's stopped. Tell the order or the people, not orderly. Tell the person running it. Going to get it. Like it's stupid. One, one more story at, uh, we were at, um, kind of like a fair over in Charlotte back and probably, I said my college years and we were on the Ferris, the Ferris wheel and uh, it's the Ferris wheel, the big one that goes, uh, um, yeah, Ferris wheel. So we're at the top of the Ferris wheel and they're, they're like, stopping every so often, let, let people off of it and then they'll, you know, and they'd let a next car down. So you're kind of like going like this until they get everybody off. Well, we're up there and I look over and I swear, Brad. I swear. I saw a bolt pop out of one of the things on the side. Oh my gosh. And I was like, I'm never riding. I've never rode a Fairride since like once that I know, like where they go from town to town and set up and tear down these, right? And, you know, um, I don't want to hit on the educational level of those who, um, carnies, carnies. Oh, what if, what if we all three were carnies? We just, well people, we, we tell the listeners that we're carnies. We actually travel and do fair setups and we, we miss bolts every now and then like we have too much teeth and, uh, we have too much teeth to be carnies and fear, fear to take meth. Yeah. We don't do enough drugs to be carnies. Yeah. And we're not alkeys. Um, so back to the trench, this movie is so boring and so stupid, predictable, they get to Fun Island. All of a sudden we see an octopus. I don't understand the octopus. Yeah. I thought, I thought that was kind of like a throw in, oh, movie producer guy says, Hey, I don't think the shark's enough for this. Let's get a killer octopus who comes into the play. Oh my gosh. And Jason say that was like, I'll get the punch and octopus. Yeah. Yeah. And maybe they get so dumb and he's on his jet ski. I'm like, what in the world he gets on jet skis a lot. Have you ever ridden a jet ski? Yeah. I've never been on a jet ski in real life, never driven one, but I've been on one. Oh, you rode behind someone holding them around the waist? Was this a girl? I knew that was coming, Gary. Was this a girl or a guy? Well, this is when I was a kid. It was, I'm a friend of my dad's I think we never owned a jet ski. Gary's kid stories. He's still a kid. So it was last week. Why do I? Why do I do this? All right. Has there been any other other than Jaws? Has there been any other really good water movies like either underwater or? Yes. Good ones. Deep Blue Sea was really good where they made a big bionic shark. That was good. Oh, that's because I had Samuel Jax and Rappaport and El Koo J. 47 meters below was pretty good. See, I'm a sucker for shark moves. I watch them all. I was going to say, I feel like if you described a movie to me and said it's like, it's about a robot shark and it's got Samuel O'Jax and a little cool Jana, it'd be like, this is not going to be a good movie. It might be funny, but it's not going to be a good movie. I've seen shark, I've seen Sharknado. Oh, my gosh. It's pretty funny. The shallows with Blake Lively is a good shark movie. What about the abyss? Never watched it. It's too boring for me. It looks boring. That's got Ed Harrison. I did watch Fear. Deep Star 6. Nope. I thought Sharknado seemed like my mother. I was got Greg Evagan in it. Oh, man. BJ in the bear? BJ in the bear. Oh, gosh. We've talked about that on here before, I think. Yeah. Riding around. We talked about pets. Track trailer with a monkey. I wanted a chimpanzee. Yeah. Gary now wants a pet Meg. No. He's going to be like, that's my Meg over there in a big aquarium. All right, here's just a list of all these bad movies. Lords of the Deep. Nope. The Rift. No. I've never watched. Waterworld. One of the worst movies of all time. I don't think I've seen that. Kevin Costner. I know. I haven't seen it. 20,000 League Gen of the Sea, the 1997 version. I said I was a shark fan, but I haven't seen any of these yet. Spear? Yes. Saw that in the theater. Deep Blue Sea. Yes. Very good. AI. AI. That's not a shark movie. Steven Spielberg movie about the Robot Boy? No. That's not a shark movie. It's not short. It's an undersea kind of thing. Atlantis, the Lost Empire. Nah. It's a cartoon. Don't want to watch it. Deep Shock. Nope. Justice League. Throne of Atlantis. That was an animated one. No. Oh my gosh. Deep. That's an animated. Aquaman. By the way, worse, I don't like Aquaman. That's stupid. He can only do his stuff underwater. So if I'm Aquaman, I got a pool producer Gary into the water to then Aquaman him. See, I like Aquaman was good. I've never seen Aquaman though. That's really good. I think you're just jealous of Jason. I wish I had his hair. I imagine your hair was like his hair when you were young, but red. I read that that long. You should just say that just to go along with it. I told you, my hair was like the guy in the mask. That was probably... Oh my gosh. We need to... I'm going to... You're going to... Every time you go watch that movie and you're going to say, "That's Rods looking like in the high school." I'm going to put your photo on Instagram with, but I'm going to put your face on the guys in the mask. That's what I'm doing. That's happening tonight. Oh, speaking of Aquaman, he's got a new one coming out this year. Aquaman and the lost king. Yeah, I don't care. Another new one coming out. It's called Iron Lung. Iron Lung. What person living in the world today in an Iron Lung? It says it's an upcoming American science fiction horror film written, directed, produced by and starring Mark Fishbach. Nope. Don't know him. I don't... Gary doesn't even know what Iron Lung is. It's based on a video game. No, I thought I'd seen one and I don't know if I could live like that. I think... They used to scare us back in elementary school with the Iron Lung threats. Remember those, Roger? Yeah. Is that how they... You don't want to live in an Iron Lung? Is that how they got you to not smoke? Yeah. I see... I don't know how people live like that sometimes. I don't know if I'd want to be around for that. For the Iron Lung? I'd rather just... Oh, I got to have an Iron Lung breathe for me? I'd rather just go, you know. Man, just... What if I had an Iron Lung and the only movie my wife would play for me was The Meg 2 all the time? I just had to watch it on repeat on my Iron Lung. That was like my sister used to watch Grease 2 when it was on HBO back in the day. I would watch it and then she recorded it. I mean, she'd watch over and over again. Now, that was Michelle Pfeiffer in Grease 2, which was... That was prime Michelle Pfeiffer, right? Yeah. But still, it was one of the worst musicals of all time. I don't like musicals. I don't either. I get blasted because I don't want to watch The Greatest Showman. Oh, no. Yeah. No, never watch it. Like, I'm getting blasted at work about that. Yeah. You don't watch the... You've never seen The Greatest Showman. Oh, my gosh. And I'm like, "No, I'm a married man while I want to watch The Greatest Showman." Exactly. Hamilton was good. I did see Hamilton. You saw Hamilton? I liked Hamilton. Oh, my gosh. Just because it was different kind of music. I don't want to see Hamilton. I've seen both of those just for the regular thing. Producer Gary seen Hamilton. I've seen Hamilton and The Greatest Showman. And I've seen Pitch Perfect, but that's because of my sister. Oh, Pitch Perfect's good. Yeah, it's perfect. Pitch Perfect's good. Pitch Perfect gets the pass because it was full of females. So I think that's why I like it. Yes. Sweeney Todd was good. The Demon Barber, because that's a horror movie. Yeah. I don't want to say that. Mamma Mia's good because it's got Abba all in it, which is guy like Abba. So those are my three musicals. You could put a gun to my head and I would say instead of watching. What about nine to five? Is that a musical? I think it is. No. One with Dolly Part. It had two songs in it. Working nine to five to get my fake boobies working nine to five. I was just saying, yeah, that one wasn't a musical, like you said, it had a couple songs. That's the one where they're trying to kill their boss. What's the recent one that was a couple years old that was like a high school kid and another high school kid committed suicide? Oh my gosh. We're bringing up suicide now? Yeah, it was. But I mean, I watched it. I thought it was a decent movie, but it was a musical. Yeah. I don't. Have we not done a Dolly Parton movie on here yet? We should do nine to five just so we have Jane Fonda back. I didn't think. But that was a good time. I wasn't a bad boy. Straight talk. Straight talk. Remember that movie with Dolly Parton? Pruducia Gary's. Oh, yeah. Yeah. She was talk to her. 1992. I remember that, man. Dolly. Dolly was the standard when you're 12. Oh, that was the one that with the church choir, the singing, oh, she and sister asked? The singing Tiptations or something like that. Oh, I don't know. Yeah. That was one that had it had Beyonce and it had Cuba Good and Junior. Never see. That was good. That was good. Dolly Parton was the standard producer Gary back when I was 12 on on chess. Like you want them like Dolly Parton's. You want a girl that has them like Dolly Parton's, but she's all like she's like 99% plastic now, right? 100%. She's more like a Barbie doll at this point. She she made by Mattel. So she could have been in the Barbie movie. She could have been real. She can't go out in the sun and she might melt. She could have been a real Barbie in the Barbie movie, but just old Barbie because she's about 80 now. I think she got to be 80. Yeah. But 30 years ago, just got inducted to the rock and roll Hall of Fame. Really? She was 50? I was going to say she was still 50, but she's she might have been younger than that. 9 to 5. Hold on. 30 years ago. Well, you said 30 years ago. She's 80 now. I don't think she's 80. There's no way she's 80. I don't think anyone will ever truly know her age because she's like like we said, she's like 46, she's 77. So when 9 to 5 came out when 9 to 5 came out, which was in I'm looking like I did. Like I said, I didn't see that 9 to 5 was working. I love that song by the way. That was the first movie that Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda were in together. Really? She was in rhinestone. We should do a dolly part was in rhinestone. She was also I think she was in the best little whorehouse in Texas. Oh, yeah. We got. 9 to 5 was 1980, so that would make her 34 in that movie in 9 to 5 and with straight talk in 92, that would make her 12 years later, 46. But you still, yeah, dolly parton was the standard. She also sings one of my favorite songs with Kenny Rogers Islands in the stream. How did we get on? Did I get us on dolly parton? I don't know either, but we went on a whole tangent on dolly parton. I think we went on a couple of different tangents there. Oh, still magnolias. How do we forget that? Listen to my girl. My name is Dolly. You watched that movie? Yes. It's so sad. And we're about to die. My name is Trivia. He ever talks about taking anybody's man card away for watching a chick flick that that's still magnolias. Yes. Okay. We got to do straight talk. A woman ditches her small town life for big city Chicago where she becomes a sensation as a radio show host. If they remade this today, she would be a podcast host. Yeah. It's a 5.7 out of 10 on on IMDB. It grossed 21 million dollars. That's pretty good back in 92. Yeah. Dolly has some loyal fans. But anyway, so this was a movie that had a bunch of horrible CGI CGI in it, right? Yes. Oh, yeah. And yeah. A plot plot sucked. I don't even think I did a plot synopsis for this movie. Oh, I think, yeah. I think we. Oh, it doesn't matter. That's the point. We lost that. We had more fun. We sharkles. Yeah. Sharks. And I was trying to think what else. That was another question. I had. He saves the day, by the way. Yeah. If you guys win, the people you thought were going to get killed, get killed. If you were hoping to stay with him, get beat by the mag, you lost that bit question. Did the one black guy, did he survive? Yeah, he did. They all survived. I don't think they were. There were some that were killed. I can't remember who died. I would. I'm just going to say. He was pretty good. He's been a couple. Need a wise crack inside. Page was a page, Kennedy. So, yeah, anything else about this movie, we got any reviews? Oh, my gosh. Yeah, there's a handful of horrible reviews. All right. Rotten Tomatoes said 28% of 178 critic reviews were positive with the average rating of 4.5. One guy said it isn't without its fun moments, but Meg to the trench suffers from a disjointed story that drifts for far too long before finally delivering a few campy thrills. Some say mixed or average, Roger Ebert said, gave it one out of four stars. He said, at least until the final Roger Ebert.com, because he's no longer a lot, at least until the final half, final half hour, when it's finally free to unleash some monstrous chaos. This is one of the dullest films of the year, a plotting poorly made giant shark movie that inexplicably, inexplicably lets this giant shark take a backseat to an evil underwater drilling operation. I got a few reviews. One is from Steven Pierce Riveter. I'm always thrown off by dudes that have made names and last name is weird to me, but I assume it's his maiden name, I don't know. OMG, this is a great movie, highly recommend to all shark movie lovers. I would not take Steven's recommendations at all. Great movie said Gremlin Girl, I can imagine what she looks like. I have both movies and I think they are great. Do these people get out? William Hubert Jr. says, "Just as good as the first one, Meg 2 is great." All these people should love our podcast, because we talk about movies they love, terrible movies. Roger, movie torture, movie gold. I guess it would be like I'd rather have my head held underwater for five minutes than have to watch this movie again. I'd rather have been in that thing that exploded underwater than to watch this again, man. This is by far the worst movie I've seen all year. It is horrible. Of all before we did this month, this one is the worst. It's tied with Batman and Robin for me. It's too long, it's long, it's a two hour movie, it's two hours, and 50 minutes is just watching them underwater, talk, this is a bad movie, this might be worse than Batman Rock. I never want to watch the Meg 2. Meg 3 comes out unless you force me to watch that for this podcast, never watching it. I'm not going back from Meg 3. Now Megan, I might watch a Megan sequel about the little robot girl. What about a robot shark that looks just like Megan? I might watch that. I feel like if producer Gary had never seen a shark movie and we showed him Meg 2, he'd never want to watch another shark movie, he'd be like, "No, I'm good." That's how he knows this movie sucks, this movie's garbage. Terrible movie, this might be my new standard, it's not as bad as Meg 2. Meg 2 is, oh my god, it's a turd, it's a smelly turd, it's terrible. Anything else you want to add, Raj? That's bad, it's bad. Who would producer Gary have been? Didn't we say he was? Oh, we did, yeah. He's the underwater pizza delivery guy. Or a bad guy at the... A bad guy, yeah. Who has a gun but he doesn't get a bullet. I imagine he's in the background picking his nose, looking around, "What's going on around here guys?" And they're like, "Purdue Sogetti, we're supposed to be killing state them right now." I only have one bullet. For that one or two female listener out there, Gary is not the guy that Brad portrays him as. He's actually a decent looking nice guy. For Hannah? She's the only one that listens to this lady. She's the only one over... Well, I said the one or two. Hannah's the only one with ovaries that turns into his play on our podcast, but we do like women to listen, so if you want to listen ladies... If you're women and you're listening to this, let us know. Let us know. If you're a woman, please tell us about your own. And if you're single, let Purdue Sogetti know that he needs a fourth wife. Yeah, for Purdue Sogetti, for my friend Roger. My name is Brad. We'll see you next time. Own. Will you tell me what you're doing?, please. [Music] [BLANK_AUDIO]
