WEBVTT 00:01.200 --> 00:05.280 This this case is empty. 00:07.600 --> 00:10.880 What do you mean empty? Empty, the opposite of full. 00:12.320 --> 00:14.880 This case is supposed to be full. 00:18.080 --> 00:18.800 Anyone care to explain? 00:21.520 --> 00:24.640 The guardians gave the stones to someone that they could trust. 00:26.070 --> 00:29.590 Удёт another 00:29.750 --> 00:32.950 route? Сеноезармите килась, там оहनили. She's supposed 00:33.030 --> 00:36.230 to contact this person in a hotel. Я тут 00:36.310 --> 00:39.390 сукимито прилومات куданчась, ты лактеликонай. 00:41.030 --> 00:43.110 She's looking for the address. Easy. 00:46.150 --> 00:47.150 Dot. 00:51.510 --> 00:53.590 It's it's planet Flossen in the Angel constellation. 00:53.910 --> 00:56.710 You're saved. 00:57.750 --> 01:01.030 I'm screwed. You asked for a case, we brought you a case. 01:01.110 --> 01:04.470 A case with 4 stones in it! Not 1 01:04.550 --> 01:08.470 or 2 or 3, but 4! 4 stones! What the 01:08.550 --> 01:11.350 hell am I supposed to do with an empty case? We are warriors, 01:12.550 --> 01:16.390 not merchants. But you can still count! Look, it's easy. Look at my fingers. 01:16.710 --> 01:21.050 4 stones, 4 crates. 0 stones, Zero crates! 01:22.090 --> 01:23.530 Pack everything up, we're out of here! 01:26.970 --> 01:30.810 You risked our lives. I believe a little compensation 01:31.290 --> 01:34.890 is in order. Oh, so you 01:35.050 --> 01:36.330 are merchants after all. 01:38.810 --> 01:41.450 Leave me one crate for the corpse. 01:44.330 --> 01:47.370 I don't like warriors. Too narrow-minded, no subtlety. Worse, 01:47.930 --> 01:51.400 they fight for hopeless causes. I must kill 01:51.480 --> 01:54.520 millions of people. I haven't saved a single one. Tell you what I do like, 01:54.680 --> 01:58.040 though. A killer. A dyed-in-the-wool killer. 01:58.120 --> 02:01.800 Cold-blooded, clean, methodical, and thorough. Now, a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, 02:02.120 --> 02:05.000 would have immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun. 02:07.720 --> 02:10.920 It's 2 Dads 1 Movie. It's the podcast where 2 middle-aged 02:11.160 --> 02:14.600 dads sit around and shoot the shit about the movies of the '80s 02:15.100 --> 02:18.960 and '90s. Here are your hosts, Steve Paulo and Nic Briana. 02:19.910 --> 02:23.030 Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of 2 Dads 1 Movie. 02:23.190 --> 02:26.470 I'm Steve. And I'm Nic. And today we are watching, or we did watch and 02:26.970 --> 02:30.390 we're going to talk about, the 1997 sci-fi action adventure, 02:31.750 --> 02:34.870 uh, big things going on, crazy blockbuster movie, 02:35.510 --> 02:39.110 The Fifth Element. And Nic, you brought The Fifth Element to the table for us, 02:39.610 --> 02:41.030 so why don't you tell us a little bit about why we watched it? 02:41.270 --> 02:44.550 Yeah, uh, The Fifth Element I thought would be a fun one to, uh, 02:44.790 --> 02:48.410 to revisit. I don't believe we've seen Gary Oldman 02:48.570 --> 02:52.170 yet. You might be right, um, which is a shame. Always good to check 02:52.330 --> 02:55.850 a box where there's someone that we haven't seen yet. Uh, we've only seen tiny 02:56.330 --> 03:00.010 Zeus Lister once, so we needed to see him again. And of course that Bruce 03:00.090 --> 03:03.770 Willis guy is fine too. Um, yeah, so this is a 03:04.270 --> 03:07.450 movie that, uh, came out, you know, '97, like you said. 03:07.770 --> 03:11.050 I definitely saw it in the theater. I think I saw it multiple times in 03:11.550 --> 03:13.770 the theater. I believe this was playing at the theater that I worked at. 03:13.850 --> 03:16.490 There you go. And I remember it was coming out, I think it was like 03:16.730 --> 03:20.070 May 5th or May Something like that came 03:20.150 --> 03:23.350 out, and because we had this, there was this poster, 03:23.670 --> 03:27.270 and it was like it must be found. But the S in must was the 03:27.350 --> 03:30.710 letter or the number five, and I remember our 03:30.950 --> 03:34.070 friend who you might remember from high school, Dave Schwanke, would say, "Oh yeah, 03:34.570 --> 03:37.750 it must five it be found." It must five. So so that 03:38.250 --> 03:41.190 was something else. But like me and those guys, like Todd and Paul Evans, 03:41.690 --> 03:45.190 like these guys would really love this film, and we watched it a 03:45.270 --> 03:48.770 bunch when it first came out. We would quote it a lot. And then 03:49.010 --> 03:52.850 when this dropped on pay-per-view, it was an immediate record of pay-per-view so 03:53.350 --> 03:56.050 we could all get a dub of it. And yeah, it just went around. 03:56.130 --> 03:59.730 So during my late teens, this was a big-time movie 03:59.970 --> 04:03.730 for me. Nice. How about you, Steve? You see this one before? I absolutely have 04:03.810 --> 04:06.530 seen it before. I think I saw it in the theater as well. Would have 04:07.030 --> 04:08.850 been just the one time. I didn't work at a theater, so almost anything I 04:09.350 --> 04:11.730 saw in the theater was just once, except for Jurassic Park and The Matrix. 04:12.230 --> 04:14.850 Probably saw those 5 times each in the theater. But generally, I did see it 04:15.350 --> 04:17.700 in the theater. Wasn't like a huge fan, but I thought it was neat. 04:18.100 --> 04:21.220 I remember being very annoyed by Chris Tucker the first time around watching it, 04:21.380 --> 04:24.100 but then kind of he grew on me a little, I feel like. Watching this 04:24.260 --> 04:27.540 more in college, I think I got to appreciate some of the sort 04:27.620 --> 04:30.660 of like whimsy around it a little more. I don't think it quite landed for 04:30.740 --> 04:34.900 me in '97, and I think partly because I 04:35.060 --> 04:38.260 was watching a lot of sci-fi at that time. There were good ones, 04:38.420 --> 04:41.780 like you said, yeah. Right, and just to run down real quick, a handful of 04:41.860 --> 04:45.540 the sci-fi movies that came out in 1997 along with The Fifth Element include 04:45.700 --> 04:48.600 Men in Black, Mimic, Contact, Event Horizon, 04:49.160 --> 04:53.000 Gattaca, Starship Troopers, Alien Resurrection. They were 04:53.080 --> 04:57.080 all in that year as well. And I know I saw Event Horizon, 04:57.880 --> 05:00.920 Contact, and Men in Black all in the theater as well. So if you think 05:01.000 --> 05:03.320 about the kind of sci-fi those 3 movies are, you got like a horror, 05:03.640 --> 05:06.920 you got like a really science fact-based science fiction in 05:07.240 --> 05:10.520 Contact, right? And then you've got the kind of big, the big broad comedy in 05:10.600 --> 05:13.400 Men in Black. This didn't fit into any of those categories. Yeah, definitely. You know, 05:13.480 --> 05:16.480 maybe closest to MIB, but like, This is still so much weirder. 05:16.720 --> 05:19.840 Yes, in a lot of ways. And there's nothing wrong with that. I'm definitely not, 05:20.240 --> 05:23.600 not, not against weird movies. I love absurdism, all this stuff. But for a while, 05:23.760 --> 05:25.920 it was definitely something that didn't quite land with me. And then I think I 05:26.000 --> 05:28.800 saw it in college, like the kind of thing where I went to a friend's 05:28.880 --> 05:31.600 apartment and we're drinking and somebody's had it on. And I remember watching, going, 05:32.000 --> 05:34.480 actually, this is kind of dope. Like, yeah, you know, it's, um, 05:35.920 --> 05:39.520 interestingly, I feel very similarly about the old, uh, Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo 05:39.680 --> 05:43.520 Super Mario Brothers movie. Oh, I hated it originally, thought the costumes were hella 05:43.600 --> 05:47.320 stupid. Saw it again like maybe 5 years ago and went This is not that 05:47.480 --> 05:50.360 bad. It's just weird. I'll have to read this. It's not that bad. I don't 05:50.860 --> 05:53.720 know if I'm familiar with that. Oh, that one's that one's bizarre. The Koopa Troopas 05:53.800 --> 05:57.400 are seven feet tall. So John Leguizamo loved getting put into like nine 05:57.480 --> 06:00.760 hours of makeup. Well, he didn't wear. He wasn't in any crazy. 06:00.920 --> 06:03.880 He was he was Luigi. It was that so Bond movie where he played some 06:04.040 --> 06:06.760 crazy fucking role. The violator. The violator. The big fat guy. Yes. 06:07.880 --> 06:11.000 Okay. Back to the Fifth Element. Let's go ahead and jump into the facts on 06:11.080 --> 06:13.880 this movie. The Fifth Element was released on May ninth. 06:14.990 --> 06:18.750 1997. That's interesting. So maybe the 5 for May, and then that was probably— 06:18.830 --> 06:22.430 that's what it was somewhere else. Yeah, with a PG-13 rating, which I think 06:22.510 --> 06:24.750 it skirts the line on. I think this— if this had been an R, 06:24.830 --> 06:28.350 it wouldn't have shocked me. Yeah, but like, it's a hard 06:28.430 --> 06:31.630 PG. It's a hard PG-13. Yeah, running time of 126 minutes, 06:32.270 --> 06:35.630 directed by Luc Besson, who we know also did Léon: The Professional and 06:35.790 --> 06:39.790 La Femme Nikita, written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. 06:40.040 --> 06:43.160 It stars Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, and Milla Jovovich. 06:44.440 --> 06:47.560 Rotten Tomatoes score of 71%, which I think is actually 06:47.720 --> 06:51.000 pretty reasonably good for a movie that's so strange to get that sort of 06:51.080 --> 06:53.880 level of critics coming together to say, yeah, this was a thumbs up essentially. 06:54.600 --> 06:58.360 You know, it's good. An IMDb score of 7.6, which is very solid. And we 06:58.440 --> 07:01.160 get 2 thumbs up from Siskel and Ebert. They both like this one. I don't 07:01.660 --> 07:05.320 think we've seen a 2 thumbs up movie in a while. No, no. Our uncles 07:05.820 --> 07:09.160 were not fighting during this one. That's good to know. This was good. So quite 07:09.660 --> 07:13.140 a bit of awards activity on this. Nothing huge. It was nominated for 07:13.640 --> 07:17.140 an Oscar in '98 for Best Sound Editing, did not win. It did win though 07:17.220 --> 07:20.180 a BAFTA in 1998, which we know of course is sort of the British Oscars, 07:20.680 --> 07:23.940 for Best Special Effects. I think that's very valid, good special effects in this movie. 07:24.580 --> 07:28.020 At the 1998 Razzies, it picked up 2 nominations for 07:28.340 --> 07:32.180 Worst Supporting Actress for Milla Jovovich and Worst New Star for Chris 07:32.260 --> 07:35.300 Tucker, and that's one of those awards they give out to somebody for multiple films 07:35.540 --> 07:39.220 in the same year. Okay. So it was shared with his role in Money Talks. 07:40.040 --> 07:42.280 So yeah, at the 1997 Stinkers, 07:43.000 --> 07:47.160 they picked up a couple nominations as well, both Tucker and Jovovich 07:47.660 --> 07:50.600 as well for their roles, but also Worst Picture and what they call the Worst 07:51.160 --> 07:54.600 Sense of Direction, which is like worst director, I guess. Yeah. For Luc 07:54.680 --> 07:57.800 Besson. But at the 1998 César Awards, 07:57.880 --> 08:01.640 which are like the French Oscars, it picked up 8 nominations and 3 08:01.800 --> 08:04.920 wins total, including Best Director, Best Cinematography, 08:05.420 --> 08:08.460 and Best Production Design. which I don't know what he was up against given that 08:08.540 --> 08:11.820 that's mostly French creatives only. But production design, 08:12.220 --> 08:15.580 no-brainer, absolutely gorgeous, crazy looking stuff, very cool. 08:16.460 --> 08:19.980 But yeah, Best Director, Best Cinematography, yeah, it's interesting that he also got a stinker 08:20.060 --> 08:23.580 nomination for Worst Director. I always find that interesting when you see stuff like 08:23.660 --> 08:26.940 that. On a $90 million budget, which like, yeah, you don't make this movie 08:27.100 --> 08:29.500 for less than that. Yeah, it's an expensive film. There's a lot going on. 08:29.740 --> 08:33.500 It did pull in $264 million for 2.9 times what it cost. 08:33.660 --> 08:37.180 That is definitely what we'd call a blockbuster, making that 08:37.340 --> 08:41.000 much on that kind of a budget. are the facts on The Fifth Element. 08:41.500 --> 08:43.880 And all right, why don't you kick us off, man? How does this movie kick 08:43.960 --> 08:47.480 off? Yeah, so, uh, so The Fifth Element starts and we're, 08:47.560 --> 08:50.760 we're kind of getting a view from space of Earth and, 08:50.920 --> 08:54.280 uh, you know, kind of slowly brings us towards Earth and 08:54.360 --> 08:57.880 we see this kind of large, um, ship that's, 08:57.960 --> 09:01.800 that's hovering over, like really funky looking. They do a good job with 09:01.880 --> 09:05.320 some of this stuff where it's like ancient and futuristic at the same time. 09:05.870 --> 09:08.830 So that's kind of the vibe of the ship that we see. And then we're 09:09.330 --> 09:12.750 on Earth and it says, you know, Egypt, 1914. And we've got a couple of 09:13.250 --> 09:16.910 archaeologists kind of working away to translate these, these runes that are carved 09:17.230 --> 09:20.750 into the wall. Yeah. There's an older man who's doing that, 09:21.070 --> 09:24.590 and he's got this young boy who's reflecting the light from outside to his spot 09:24.750 --> 09:27.710 to, like, give him some look. And he keeps saying to this kid, Aziz, 09:27.950 --> 09:30.430 light! Because the kid's kind of fallen asleep. The light's gone away. 09:32.250 --> 09:35.610 His, uh, sidekick with him is, uh, Luke Perry. 09:35.930 --> 09:39.770 Yes. And this is the second recent 90210 alum that we've seen in a 09:40.270 --> 09:43.450 movie. That's right. Uh, he's also playing a character named Billy, like, uh, Jason Priestley 09:43.610 --> 09:47.130 did in Tombstone. So— And did you notice at the beginning of the credits 09:47.290 --> 09:50.410 he got an and credit in this? Crazy. So it's like, you know, 09:50.910 --> 09:53.690 it says like Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, uh, uh, Ian Holm, 09:54.250 --> 09:59.090 Milla Jovovich, Chris Tucker, and Luke Perry, which is like Wow. 09:59.590 --> 10:02.770 Yeah, good for Luke Perry. Good agent, I think. Yeah, or the director just has 10:02.850 --> 10:06.210 a thing for Lukes. Yeah, that's true. 10:06.450 --> 10:09.730 And I hope to see— I hope to see Ian Ziering playing a Billy in 10:10.230 --> 10:13.250 a future film, uh, on our list here. So yeah, so he's translating 10:13.750 --> 10:17.410 these runes and it looks like he's really coming across some information that's 10:17.650 --> 10:20.930 surprising him. And he's like, oh, oh, this is amazing, this is amazing. 10:21.650 --> 10:24.850 Uh, there's, there's a 5th element. I'm trying 10:25.350 --> 10:27.490 to figure out what this is. And it looks like they're fighting this force of 10:27.650 --> 10:31.150 evil and there's all these— the 4 elements, you know, Earth, Wind Fire and whatever 10:31.390 --> 10:34.110 the other one is. Right. And then in the middle, there's The Fifth Element. 10:34.830 --> 10:38.110 And, you know, he's discovering it, and there's a kind of a priest there that 10:38.190 --> 10:41.630 overhears this and seems very concerned. Like, my duty is to 10:41.950 --> 10:45.390 protect this information from getting out. So he 10:45.550 --> 10:49.310 like kind of gets this look and then, you know, poisons this water and goes 10:49.390 --> 10:52.350 to present it to him. Like, these guys already know too much. I gotta stop 10:52.430 --> 10:55.630 this. Yeah, this is very much the character, uh, from Indiana Jones and the Last 10:55.790 --> 10:58.670 Crusade with like the Rosicrucian tattoo on his chest that was like trying to keep 10:58.910 --> 11:01.340 everybody away from the Grail or whatever. Same idea in a lot of ways, 11:02.140 --> 11:05.820 but the man, this archaeologist, whoever's like looking at the hieroglyphics, 11:05.900 --> 11:08.940 doesn't, you know, initially doesn't sip the water. So the guy, 11:09.260 --> 11:12.300 the priest or whatever, is like, oh, well, let's toast to your success then, 11:12.800 --> 11:14.860 you know, like whatever. And he throws the water away, he goes, you can't toast 11:14.940 --> 11:17.420 with water, like let's get some whiskey or I don't know what he has. 11:17.500 --> 11:20.780 Some wine, yeah. Some wine or whatever it is. So all these plans of this 11:20.860 --> 11:23.980 priest to like take care of this are not happening, but the spaceship that we 11:24.060 --> 11:27.670 kind of saw in the opening sequence over Earth, has now landed— is now 11:27.830 --> 11:31.750 landing in front of this temple, and it looks bizarre. It looks crazy. 11:31.910 --> 11:35.430 Very strange-looking ship. Yeah, um, it's very upright 11:35.830 --> 11:39.350 and like— and then these, these aliens get out and they, 11:39.830 --> 11:43.510 they have the body shape of like people in Gary Larson's 11:43.590 --> 11:46.870 Far Side cartoons, kind of. Okay. Like, just like 11:46.950 --> 11:50.870 you draw like a big, like a big fat armadillo or something like 11:50.950 --> 11:53.990 that. Like, it would work. It's such a very weird— how would you describe these 11:54.230 --> 11:57.430 guys? So yeah, they're like, they're like big turtles or something that are on their— 11:57.590 --> 12:00.850 on 2 feet. They're enormous spacesuits or whatever they're 12:01.350 --> 12:04.530 in, obviously. They're obviously not— they're not— this is not the flesh and blood 12:04.610 --> 12:07.970 of these creatures. They're in some kind of a spacesuit, it seems like, right? 12:08.130 --> 12:11.330 And, and, but they can't— they have to waddle. They can't raise their arms 12:11.570 --> 12:14.770 up very high. Like, you know, they have this little tiny head and neck 12:15.010 --> 12:17.090 that sticks out of the thing. Yeah. It's very strange. That's where I think I 12:17.590 --> 12:19.650 get the turtle feel from. It looks like a shell and then a neck and 12:20.150 --> 12:24.050 everything. Very bizarre, goofy-ass looking alien spacesuits. 12:24.130 --> 12:26.840 But they say basically, The priest is like, no, no, no, I've got it, 12:27.340 --> 12:29.320 I've got it, I've got it under control, don't worry about it. And they say, 12:29.640 --> 12:32.920 war is coming, the stones are no longer safe on Earth, we need to take 12:33.420 --> 12:35.880 them with us. And they're referring, of course, to World War I. These creatures obviously 12:36.120 --> 12:38.760 knew World War I was about to start, which is interesting, 'cause it said we're 12:38.840 --> 12:42.680 in 1914. So war is coming, the stones are not safe, 12:43.160 --> 12:46.600 we're gonna take them. And so they walk into this, he's got this key in 12:47.100 --> 12:50.840 his finger, one of these alien guys. Yeah. Sticks it into a particular, between 2 12:50.920 --> 12:53.960 bricks or something, opens up the wall, and the archaeologist is like, well, 12:54.120 --> 12:57.550 that's interesting. Yeah. He thought he was cracking the code. 12:57.870 --> 13:01.790 He had no idea what was going on. Goes into this chamber where there is 13:01.950 --> 13:05.390 this sarcophagus in the middle where it's really weird looking, 'cause unlike a 13:05.890 --> 13:08.910 sarcophagus you'd see in like King Tut's tomb or something where the face is like 13:09.150 --> 13:12.590 looking outward, it's looking up. Mm-hmm. So it's like this whole thing looks, and then 13:12.670 --> 13:16.190 there are these stones on 4 pillars. So they gather up all the stones and 13:16.690 --> 13:19.710 then you see the aliens taking the sarcophagus and the stones kind of back out. 13:20.190 --> 13:23.810 But the Luke Perry character, Billy, is freaking out and like gets a gun 13:24.370 --> 13:27.650 because, uh, they— oh, they made the archaeologist pass out, the doctor, like they made 13:27.730 --> 13:31.170 him faint or something. So he's like, no, Father, they're— they killed, you know, 13:31.670 --> 13:34.210 Dr. So-and-so, this is whatever. And he's like, what? And he trips over something and 13:34.370 --> 13:38.050 fires the gun. Yes. Which I think causes the whole thing to start closing, 13:38.370 --> 13:41.730 right? It's like gonna shut down. Yeah, one of these— one of these alien dudes 13:41.810 --> 13:45.010 is stuck inside, right? And they're the— and the priest's like, you know, 13:45.170 --> 13:47.570 come on, you could still make it, you can still make it, just moving so 13:47.810 --> 13:51.090 slow, waddling. So yeah, so basically, uh, Luke Perry, 13:51.170 --> 13:54.430 the other archaeologist, end up trapped inside this thing as shuts, 13:54.750 --> 13:58.590 and the, uh, the alien reaches out its finger with this little computer chip 13:58.750 --> 14:01.710 looking thing on the very end of it, and that gets slammed in the door. 14:01.870 --> 14:04.990 And then, you know, that's kind of the last we have. But basically, to the 14:05.070 --> 14:08.750 priest, it's your job to protect this. Like, you protect this knowledge, 14:09.230 --> 14:12.350 protect, you know. Yeah. And he says, like, the priest says something like, well, 14:12.510 --> 14:15.790 without the weapon, like, we'll be— how can we defend ourselves when evil comes back? 14:16.290 --> 14:19.150 And the alien says, in 300 years, when, when evil returns, we will too. 14:19.390 --> 14:21.550 Yes. That's basically what he says, like, we're not gonna leave you out to dry. 14:22.270 --> 14:24.990 But yeah, so, so there's that. So he gives him the key, and then we 14:25.070 --> 14:28.670 get— And he says that time's not important, only life is important, because this 14:28.750 --> 14:31.550 is repeated. Absolutely. So it's important to bring that up there. Um, 14:31.870 --> 14:34.910 yeah, so now we're, we're 300 years later, 14:35.230 --> 14:37.710 right? It says 300 years later, but there is later a thing on, on, 14:37.790 --> 14:40.190 on one of the characters' desks that has the date. It says, I think, 14:40.270 --> 14:43.310 like 2260-something or whatever. So it's a little more 14:43.390 --> 14:47.330 than 300 years later, not exactly 300 years, but yes. 3 centuries into 14:47.830 --> 14:51.410 the future, and we see Deebo, Tiny Lister, as the 14:51.570 --> 14:55.250 president of the Federated Territories or something, whatever, whatever, some kind 14:55.750 --> 14:58.930 of galactic president. He even mentioned something about like, I think, 200 or 300 billion 14:59.250 --> 15:03.010 people or something are under his, you know, in his 15:03.330 --> 15:07.410 control or protection or whatever. And so there's— 15:07.810 --> 15:11.250 and then what exactly happened? Oh, that's right. So the president 15:11.650 --> 15:14.770 and some other people are in this kind of command center, and they're talking to 15:14.930 --> 15:18.050 a ship that's closer to this thing, this object that's appeared. 15:18.290 --> 15:21.730 And it's this unknown object in space that's kind of like planet-looking, 15:22.050 --> 15:25.570 and it keeps getting larger. And they notice like if they fire upon it, 15:25.650 --> 15:29.490 like it's getting larger. Makes it expand. And, um, and they're 15:29.990 --> 15:31.970 trying to decide what to do with it. So one of the members of this 15:32.370 --> 15:35.090 kind of council is a priest named Vito Cornelius, 15:35.650 --> 15:39.090 like, you know, maybe the highest-ranking religious figure or somebody who's gonna counsel 15:39.250 --> 15:42.610 on this stuff. And he's saying, yeah, don't shoot it. It's just gonna keep getting 15:42.850 --> 15:46.290 bigger. Like if you put aggression or anger or evil into this, 15:46.540 --> 15:50.220 It's gonna grow because this is essentially like pure evil. So don't, don't do 15:50.720 --> 15:54.060 that. And that character's— that's Ian Holm's character Cornelius. Yes. Uh, who would go on 15:54.140 --> 15:57.660 to play, uh, Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. Yes. Or not The Hobbit, 15:58.160 --> 16:00.780 in The Lord of the Rings. Um, but yeah, so, so there's that. And then 16:01.420 --> 16:04.860 it's like they keep shooting at it and it keeps getting bigger. And then finally 16:05.100 --> 16:08.620 it's actually like growing towards these, these ships that have been 16:09.120 --> 16:11.820 firing upon it to an extent that they can't stop it. It just keeps growing, 16:11.980 --> 16:15.080 growing, and kind of takes over and destroys these 16:15.640 --> 16:18.920 capital ships. And these are like, like, yeah, like Darth Vader, like those 16:19.160 --> 16:23.000 big triangular Star Destroyers, right? This is an enormous thing, 16:23.240 --> 16:26.760 right? And then, um, but I think this is when Dallas— Corbin Dallas 16:27.000 --> 16:29.560 wakes up from this as if it were a dream. It almost seems like— Yeah, 16:29.720 --> 16:33.320 that's weird. So yeah, so now we wake up with Bruce Willis, 16:33.480 --> 16:37.320 Corbin Dallas, in probably one of the bleakest future apartments I've 16:37.820 --> 16:40.920 ever seen, right? Like, it's almost a jail cell. It makes Blade Runner look like 16:41.000 --> 16:44.500 Sesame Street. Like, it is so, like, just dystopianly like, 16:44.820 --> 16:47.540 oh God, how does anybody live like this? Oh my God, it looks like it's 16:48.040 --> 16:50.660 what, 4 feet across by 10 feet long or something? It's so small. 16:51.300 --> 16:54.820 So, and it's all metal. So he's— he has this little apartment. One of the, 16:55.060 --> 16:58.260 um, the good gags in this is there's on 16:58.340 --> 17:01.460 the wall, looks like it's a dispenser for his cigarettes for the day. 17:01.540 --> 17:04.740 It says something about quit smoking, and there are these 4 cigarettes that 17:04.820 --> 17:08.820 are all like 80% filter. They just have like a little tiny part 17:08.900 --> 17:11.780 with the tobacco on the end. I always wondered if that would work, you know, 17:12.280 --> 17:14.900 like would that actually make them safer? I don't know. I mean, if those sticks 17:15.280 --> 17:18.720 those, uh, those long cigarette sticks from, uh, Troop Beverly Hills Prevent 17:18.880 --> 17:22.800 Cancer. You know, who knows what this will do? Uh, so he wakes 17:22.880 --> 17:26.320 up and, you know, his apartment, it is just absolutely like 17:26.480 --> 17:30.320 very Blade Runner. It's just bleak, industrial, no decor, 17:30.560 --> 17:34.320 no greenery anywhere, right? And, uh, and he has somebody at 17:34.820 --> 17:38.160 his door. Yeah. So he goes up, uh, Corbin Dallas answers his door, and he 17:38.240 --> 17:40.880 looks through the peephole and it's just, you know, the hallway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 17:41.380 --> 17:44.400 And he opens the door and there's a guy who pulls his head up and 17:44.480 --> 17:47.900 he had had a basically a photograph of the hallway on top of a hat 17:48.380 --> 17:52.140 and pointed that at the peephole. Pretty smart. Good move. I, I like that. 17:52.300 --> 17:55.820 It's like hanging the picture on the surveillance camera, you know? I don't 17:56.320 --> 17:58.940 know how this tweaker was that smart though, because he's not smart from any other 17:59.260 --> 18:02.700 point of view. So, so he looks up and it's definitely a 18:03.200 --> 18:06.300 tweaker type guy. And Corbin Dallas is like, okay, unimpressed by this guy. 18:06.380 --> 18:08.700 This guy's got a gun in his face. He's like, give me the cash, 18:08.940 --> 18:12.540 man, give me the cash. And Corbin Dallas is explaining to 18:13.040 --> 18:15.180 him, oh, what kind of gun is that? Oh, is this this model? Well, 18:15.680 --> 18:18.220 it actually doesn't. It's not armed. You have to push this button here, you know? 18:18.460 --> 18:22.460 So he goes and, and this guy's freaking out. He's like, like that 18:23.020 --> 18:26.060 really funny, uh, job by this little bit part here. 18:26.700 --> 18:29.900 Um, so this guy's freaking out and it ends with Corbin 18:30.300 --> 18:33.100 taking the gun from him. Yep. You know, you should let me keep this. 18:33.260 --> 18:36.460 It's a dangerous weapon. He points his gun at this guy, takes this guy's gun, 18:36.860 --> 18:39.980 and then this like basket comes down from the ceiling and it looks like it's 18:40.480 --> 18:44.220 got 30 confiscated guns that Corbin Dallas has accumulated from like people doing the 18:44.300 --> 18:46.780 same shit. Lives in a rough part of town, I guess, is what it is. 18:47.160 --> 18:49.960 You think if you live in a metal box, at least people can't get in. 18:50.440 --> 18:53.480 So he has the same security as Lebowski's apartment, right? 18:53.880 --> 18:57.640 Except that he lives in this like constantly surveilled dystopian future. 18:58.140 --> 19:01.960 It's crazy. We should mention too, there's like military sort of medals 19:02.120 --> 19:05.960 and different commendations and things around Dallas's apartment. Yeah. And he gets a 19:06.460 --> 19:09.560 phone call about the car, the cab that he drives, 19:09.960 --> 19:13.000 and getting worked on. And the guy keeps calling him Major. So he's clearly, 19:13.240 --> 19:16.380 you know, ex-military. Uh, which, uh, definitely factors in. 19:17.420 --> 19:19.900 And then I think the next, uh, scene we get is we get to meet 19:20.060 --> 19:23.500 the pig guys, right? Because the, the, the people are flying back, 19:23.740 --> 19:27.180 like the, the aliens we saw at the beginning, the, the turtle-looking ones, right, 19:27.340 --> 19:30.460 are flying back to Earth, or trying to. 19:30.700 --> 19:34.540 Yes, 'cause it's their 300-year appointment, and they made it. Uh, 19:34.620 --> 19:38.060 and they're called the Mondoshawan, Mondoshawan, or something like that. Sure, 19:38.560 --> 19:40.300 I didn't write any of that shit down. Um, yeah, I'm trying to keep these 19:40.460 --> 19:43.260 things straight here. I got the turtle aliens and the pig guys, that's what I 19:43.340 --> 19:46.970 got. So, uh, so Vito Cornelius, uh, the priest, 19:47.370 --> 19:50.810 and the president, Tiny Lister, are kind of talking. And, and what 19:50.970 --> 19:54.250 Vito Cornelius says is, we have 48 hours to stop this thing. It's gonna 19:54.410 --> 19:57.930 keep expanding and, and we're fucked. The good thing is our 19:58.090 --> 20:01.370 friends with the stones are on their way, right? 300 years later, just like 20:01.530 --> 20:04.490 we planned on. No flat tires, no travel delays. Like, 20:04.990 --> 20:08.330 they're just gonna arrive here. And props to these guys, they're there. 20:08.730 --> 20:12.330 Yeah, they're pulling in. So it's like, cool. Yep, we knew about this and now 20:12.830 --> 20:16.000 we're here for it. So no stress. Uh, we're just gonna park our spaceship gently 20:16.560 --> 20:20.080 on the ground. And then out of nowhere, these, uh, smaller kind 20:20.580 --> 20:23.920 of fighter ships appear with these— I don't know how 20:24.420 --> 20:26.960 to describe these kind of monsters. I've always called them pig guys. Yeah, they're not 20:27.460 --> 20:30.000 really pigs, they're not quite snouty enough, but they kind of have a pig vibe 20:30.500 --> 20:33.920 to them. Yeah, yeah, very, very puppety looking, uh, guys, 20:34.240 --> 20:37.600 which became a distraction because of how much of 20:37.680 --> 20:40.880 the movie these guys are in. I didn't remember how much it was showing these 20:41.040 --> 20:44.720 motherfuckers all the time. This was Dark Crystal-ish, like, throughout this thing. 20:44.880 --> 20:49.180 Absolutely. Um, But the, the pig guys shoot down the hero benevolent 20:49.340 --> 20:53.420 alien race with the advanced technology because apparently they have no weapons. 20:53.920 --> 20:57.500 They have no way of defending themselves. Yeah. Uh, so they turn into a 20:57.580 --> 21:00.620 big pile of dust on the planet surface. We're fucked. 21:00.780 --> 21:03.980 The stones were on board. What are we gonna do? Yeah. And, and Vito is, 21:04.060 --> 21:07.500 you know, Corleone— I can't say Corleone— Cornelius. Uh, Vito Cornelius 21:07.580 --> 21:11.920 is like, we're doomed or whatever. But there are almost immediately Uh, 21:12.320 --> 21:15.920 the government— some government officials are able to get to the wreck. Yeah. 21:16.240 --> 21:20.320 Search it, find that there's no stones there. They were taken, right? But— or 21:20.400 --> 21:24.480 they just— they weren't there. And then, uh, but recover the 21:24.640 --> 21:28.160 hand of one of the beings, and it's being 21:28.720 --> 21:32.640 transported, just the hand, to like this like nuclear lab or whatever where they're gonna 21:33.140 --> 21:35.440 do something with it. And the scientist there is saying like, well, look, we only 21:35.600 --> 21:39.220 need a few cells and we can do a full clone like reproduction, and this 21:39.540 --> 21:42.980 particular being, whatever, like we have X number of like, 21:43.140 --> 21:46.260 you know, whatever genetic pairs or something in our DNA, 21:46.820 --> 21:49.300 they have like 200 times that or something. Yeah. So it's like, you know, 21:49.460 --> 21:52.980 the idea being this is potentially— Like you need so little of it to clone 21:53.380 --> 21:57.220 something from it. And that potentially the secret to like the way life exists 21:57.380 --> 22:00.740 or like all life is potentially encoded here. Like this is like a discovery kind 22:01.240 --> 22:04.740 of thing. And so they put this hand into this big metal tube or whatever 22:04.980 --> 22:08.320 and it starts like recreating— it was really just the 3D printing a person. 22:08.480 --> 22:11.280 It looked very cool. It was great. Yeah, it really held up. I was really 22:11.520 --> 22:13.840 impressed by the special effects in this section. I really thought it was good. 22:14.000 --> 22:17.680 It was kind of like Starship Troopers where they're reconstructing Johnny 22:17.920 --> 22:20.800 Rico and stuff like that. Yeah, very, 22:21.120 --> 22:24.160 very cool. And in Face/Off where they're making the ear in the same idea. 22:24.800 --> 22:27.840 Same year, both movies. Yeah, that's right, both of them. So there, 22:28.000 --> 22:31.840 one guy thought of that idea and it got in 3 movies. Yeah, 22:32.080 --> 22:35.680 so it's a cool scene. And they— it's funny, it's a hand that's still holding 22:36.000 --> 22:39.300 on to something. Yeah. And then that just kind of goes away. It would be, 22:39.800 --> 22:42.420 it would be really funny if it goes— so it ends up creating this person, 22:42.580 --> 22:45.140 but it's not creating one of these armadillo turtle guys, 22:45.700 --> 22:49.380 it's creating human woman. Well, but I think that— I think the point is that's 22:49.460 --> 22:52.660 who's inside those things. Like, I honestly think like that 22:52.740 --> 22:55.940 is just armor and spacesuits, those guys, and that what's inside them 22:56.020 --> 22:59.380 is essentially, you know, visibly indistinguishable from human but some 22:59.460 --> 23:03.330 other being altogether. And they wear those spacesuits and things to 23:03.570 --> 23:05.970 travel to other planets. Like, that's my— Okay, that makes sense. I think that's what 23:06.470 --> 23:08.530 I thought. Well, that's why they'd have an interest in Earth in the first place. 23:09.030 --> 23:11.650 Yeah, exactly. So yeah, I think that's what's going on. But it does— it creates 23:12.290 --> 23:15.650 Milla Jovovich. Uh, you know, obviously they're all kind of like, oh my God, 23:15.810 --> 23:19.410 she is perfect, like this whole thing. Yeah. Uh, and then they, they have 23:19.490 --> 23:21.810 to put thermal bandages on her. They can't just give her clothes. 23:22.930 --> 23:26.210 It's just basically like Luc Besson saying, cover up the nipples. 23:26.290 --> 23:29.170 Just the nips and the booty. That's my wife. I did read that that was 23:29.490 --> 23:33.090 Luc Besson's wife from '97 to '99. He was married to Milla Jovovich. 23:33.170 --> 23:36.370 So May have had something to do with the casting decision, 23:36.530 --> 23:40.130 or vice versa. Because because if they would have been cast before ninety-seven, 23:40.530 --> 23:43.250 that's true. This movie came out in ninety-seven. So that was the agreement. You marry 23:43.410 --> 23:46.770 me when we're done. And there are 23:47.090 --> 23:50.770 like throughout this movie, they do a good job of 23:50.930 --> 23:54.530 picking really weird-looking people. Yeah. Like people who have 23:54.610 --> 23:58.050 very interesting faces and interesting hairstyles and stuff like that. 23:58.370 --> 24:01.510 So a lot of the people, the the people that are working in this 24:01.750 --> 24:04.870 lab have very, very funky looks. Um, 24:05.190 --> 24:08.070 we find out that the, the attack to shoot this ship down in the first 24:08.230 --> 24:11.750 place was ordered by Zorg, who's, uh— Zorg? Zorg. 24:12.470 --> 24:16.070 Gary Oldman's— I was thinking of, uh, A View to a Kill, Christopher Walken's 24:16.470 --> 24:19.750 character. Um, yeah, so Gary Oldman's character Zorg, 24:19.990 --> 24:23.750 uh, ordered the attack for some reason. So yeah, the, the machine 24:24.150 --> 24:27.830 constructs the person. It's funny when it goes like— it'll— it makes the bones and 24:27.910 --> 24:31.350 then it does like the muscular tissue. And then he says something about, 24:31.830 --> 24:35.670 and now we blast it with slightly greasy solar atoms, and the body 24:36.070 --> 24:39.430 responds naturally by like growing skin, like the way that the scientists are saying. 24:39.590 --> 24:43.350 And I'm like, slightly greasy solar atoms? Ew. What happened 24:43.590 --> 24:47.350 here, 100%, is that they couldn't do CGI realistically to 24:47.430 --> 24:50.790 do— they could do it for bones, they could do it for like tendons and 24:51.270 --> 24:53.670 sinew, but they couldn't do it for skin. So they had to cover it up. 24:53.750 --> 24:56.950 And then the explanation is so hand-wavy. Uh, it's, uh, solar things. 24:57.110 --> 25:00.050 It just makes skin. It's cool. It's cool. Greasy solar atoms. Greasy solar atoms, 25:00.290 --> 25:03.410 that's a thing. That's a thing, those can be greasy. Yeah, 25:03.570 --> 25:07.250 so that's, I'll just be real quick, like some of the problems I 25:07.330 --> 25:11.250 have with this movie are the place, there's this incongruousness 25:11.570 --> 25:14.930 between where they decide to give us a bunch of detailed story 25:15.250 --> 25:19.010 about something and other places where they hand wave away really complicated 25:19.490 --> 25:22.690 shit that like doesn't make much sense. Right. So it's 25:23.190 --> 25:26.740 like, why did that work like that? I guess I don't know. This is 300 25:27.140 --> 25:30.420 years, or, you know, 250 years, or now— Jesus Christ, I can't 25:30.920 --> 25:32.020 do my own math. At this point, this is 200 years in the future, 25:32.260 --> 25:35.540 give or take. And yet the, the biggest 25:35.940 --> 25:39.380 star in the world has a radio show? Yeah, they missed on a few 25:39.880 --> 25:42.180 of these things. There's a few things here that don't quite work, but this is 25:42.260 --> 25:46.020 one of them. The, the how did skin get created? Yeah, it doesn't 25:46.100 --> 25:48.900 fly with me, and I'm not even a scientist. Greasy solar atoms. 25:49.940 --> 25:53.060 Yeah, so, so now Milla Jovovich has been created. 25:53.380 --> 25:56.360 She's wrapped in her thermal bandage. This this really cool looking kind of white, 25:56.840 --> 26:01.080 uh, uniform thing that she's in, and she's in this glass terrarium 26:01.240 --> 26:04.600 just kind of freaking out. She doesn't speak the language. Obviously she's saying 26:04.840 --> 26:07.240 things, they don't know what she's saying, and they don't know what language it is. 26:07.320 --> 26:10.760 It's some, uh, divine language, they, they refer to it later. Um, 26:11.000 --> 26:14.520 and the fucking generals and stuff are like taunting her. They're like tapping on 26:14.600 --> 26:17.880 the glass. So this one guy goes up and he taps on the 26:17.960 --> 26:21.160 glass and she— and he's just kind of like, hey sweetie, if you don't start 26:21.320 --> 26:24.360 speaking English, like, what's your expectation here, dude? 26:24.440 --> 26:26.440 You're not amazed by anything you just saw? 26:27.540 --> 26:31.140 The whole thing is incredible. This second she was made from the hand of a 26:31.220 --> 26:34.660 spacesuit, basically, and now this beautiful woman appears and you're just 26:34.740 --> 26:38.100 like, speak English or get out of my country, bitch. Jesus, man. 26:38.820 --> 26:42.580 Oh my God. But it is funny that she punches through the glass 26:42.980 --> 26:46.420 to like grab him and smash him against it to knock him out. She escapes 26:46.500 --> 26:50.180 very easily. She hits the button and she like 26:50.500 --> 26:54.100 Kool-Aid Mans through the wall, through the wall that's made out of Foil? 26:54.660 --> 26:57.380 It's made out of the wrapping on those, like, Ferrero Rochers. 26:58.660 --> 27:02.180 Yes. Yes. I, I did— none of it made any sense. 27:02.500 --> 27:06.020 It's so faint to me. We're high enough— like, the idea that we get 27:06.100 --> 27:09.460 in a second is we're probably high enough up that you need some kind of 27:09.620 --> 27:12.980 pressurization indoors, potentially. Maybe. Or at least something that, 27:13.300 --> 27:16.980 that a, uh, you know, 105-pound being can't 27:17.480 --> 27:20.660 just, like, do a casual dive all the way through. You would think. Um, 27:20.820 --> 27:24.260 it is very Blade Runner-ish where all of the, you know, society is built 27:24.420 --> 27:27.600 vertically now, right? Like, we've run out of space, and so, you know, all of 27:28.100 --> 27:30.480 our buildings have to be like 5 miles tall or some shit. And there's like, 27:30.720 --> 27:33.920 you know, strata within the society as you go down. 27:34.080 --> 27:36.560 And none of this ever gets explained, but it's sort of hinted at. No, 27:36.640 --> 27:39.040 and it would've been nice. It would've been interesting to at least understand what the 27:39.120 --> 27:42.160 fuck is going on. But that's okay. She busts out, she gets like cornered, 27:42.240 --> 27:45.440 very fugitive style, where on the edge 27:45.940 --> 27:50.320 of the building, and the cops who look like kind 27:50.400 --> 27:53.440 of Judge Dredd-ish, sort of, but like, I don't know if you saw 27:53.940 --> 27:56.080 that one with Sylvester Stallone. Yeah. They got that kind of look to 'em. 27:56.580 --> 28:00.060 They totally do. helmets, big wide body armor, like a very strange look. 28:00.140 --> 28:03.500 Not necessarily big, very wide. It's like a cross between the 28:03.740 --> 28:07.820 Judge Dredd uniform and those, those big sumo suits 28:07.980 --> 28:11.820 that they have you fight in at like corporate retreats. Yep, like team-building exercises. 28:11.980 --> 28:15.260 Yeah, we should mention, because I didn't realize we didn't mention before, 28:15.340 --> 28:19.100 but the costume design for the entire film was by very famous French 28:19.740 --> 28:23.020 couture designer Jean Paul Gaultier. Did all of the costume design 28:23.100 --> 28:25.890 for this movie, so that was his take on it. Now, I don't know how 28:26.290 --> 28:29.490 Besson might have also been very, very involved, you know, in that, in that design 28:29.570 --> 28:32.850 and everything, but these are, you know, Jean-Paul Gaultier's name is attached to 28:33.350 --> 28:36.610 all of this. Yeah. And I wonder if the effect is like that all the 28:36.770 --> 28:40.450 cops in this, when they're in the uniform, are so lumbery and dipshitty with 28:40.530 --> 28:43.650 everything that they do. And I wonder if that's intentional. But almost all of them 28:43.730 --> 28:46.450 seemed overweight too. I don't know if it was 100% of them, but most of 28:46.950 --> 28:49.250 them seemed like fat guys, right? So it feels like there was a commentary there, 28:49.490 --> 28:53.340 eating McDonald's, like, yeah. It shows them doing fat guy stuff. Yes, like they're 28:53.840 --> 28:57.100 not interested in fitness or chases or anything. Well, you can't chase anybody anymore. 28:57.500 --> 29:00.620 No, right? The whole world is flying. Like, it's like, what do you even do 29:00.940 --> 29:04.300 anymore? So, uh, so, so the, uh, 29:04.540 --> 29:08.140 Milla Jovovich jumps off the ledge. She's been followed out to this ledge 29:08.380 --> 29:11.500 surrounded by the cops, and they see that, okay, she's got no ID, which means 29:12.060 --> 29:15.420 you have no ID, you're done. Like, there's— well, because like everybody's in the 29:15.500 --> 29:18.540 system in this future, they assume, right? So to have no file at all is 29:18.620 --> 29:21.740 like, well, so you're a problem. You're something wrong here. Yeah, exactly. Um, 29:22.140 --> 29:25.240 and, uh, And she ends up diving. Does the Richard 29:25.480 --> 29:29.320 Campbell dive. And luckily there's the nice soft roof 29:29.480 --> 29:33.320 of a taxi cab to break her fall. Blows right through Corbin Dallas's 29:33.400 --> 29:37.080 cab roof, which he almost then crashes. And we get this thing too where like 29:37.320 --> 29:40.040 you have points on your license left, which is kind of the opposite at least 29:40.440 --> 29:43.560 of how points work in California, uh, where getting them is bad, 29:43.720 --> 29:46.520 you don't want them. Right now there's a certain number of points you're like allowed 29:46.760 --> 29:49.640 to fuck up a certain amount before they take away your license or something. 29:49.720 --> 29:53.640 And so he had 5 points left And this person falling through 29:53.720 --> 29:57.000 his roof takes four. Yeah. So now he's down to his last point 29:57.160 --> 30:00.360 or whatever. So he tries a little bit to figure 30:00.860 --> 30:03.320 out what's going on. The cops kind of stop him and you know, hey, 30:03.480 --> 30:05.480 like there's somebody in your car. We need to arrest her. Like all this stuff. 30:05.560 --> 30:08.040 And at first he's like, I don't. I can't do this. Like I can't. 30:08.680 --> 30:11.000 You know. Yeah. I'm gonna let them get you. Sorry, lady. I don't know who 30:11.500 --> 30:13.080 you are, and I don't have any time to deal with this. But then she 30:13.160 --> 30:16.200 sees a little like you know sign on the back, like an ad 30:16.360 --> 30:19.240 for something that just says, "Please help." Like a little kid, like a donation thing, 30:19.480 --> 30:22.680 charity or something. And she tries to pronounce the words because it's a sad looking 30:22.840 --> 30:26.180 kid. So he's She's figuring, again, this is like a brutally intelligent, 30:26.420 --> 30:30.100 massively intelligent being that just has no way to communicate in English. Right. 30:30.180 --> 30:33.860 That's sort of the problem, which is like, little problem here. So either 30:34.100 --> 30:37.860 she's a clone and doesn't have any of the knowledge of the original Supreme Being, 30:37.940 --> 30:40.660 if she's just a physical clone, she would have the brain of a baby basically, 30:41.060 --> 30:44.500 which is one possible explanation. But she learns, she kind of figures stuff out 30:44.660 --> 30:48.340 real fast. And then later it's 30:48.840 --> 30:52.510 like, Oh, I guess later when they're teaching her about human 30:52.750 --> 30:56.430 history, it had been 5,000 years. I guess nobody spoke English 5,000 years 30:56.930 --> 30:59.710 ago, did they? Yeah. Yeah, that's not it, that wasn't a language then. Okay, 30:59.790 --> 31:02.350 that actually works out okay. There's pieces of this that don't quite make sense to 31:02.850 --> 31:04.750 me, but I guess that actually isn't really a hole the way I thought it 31:05.250 --> 31:07.710 was. I was thinking like, why wouldn't she know how to speak English? Or why 31:08.210 --> 31:10.910 does she— either she should have all of the memories of the original Supreme Being, 31:11.070 --> 31:14.270 including how to speak English, or none of them, and then she wouldn't really know 31:14.350 --> 31:17.070 what the fuck she was doing, which wouldn't work for the plot. But then I 31:17.310 --> 31:20.110 realized they said she was asleep for 5,000 years. It's not like she was flying 31:20.270 --> 31:23.930 the ship. Okay, which is another reason why the fact that it was that 31:24.170 --> 31:27.290 same kind of spacesuit hand holding something was weird. She should 31:27.790 --> 31:31.130 have been in the sarcophagus, right? Oh, interesting. That's the thing, that she should have 31:31.210 --> 31:34.490 been traveling in the sarcophagus asleep. It's very strange. Well, 31:34.730 --> 31:37.130 she was the one in the sarcophagus at the beginning. That's what we're supposed to 31:37.290 --> 31:41.290 believe. Yeah, that's, that's what we're supposed to believe. But yeah, Luke, Luke Besson— Goddamn 31:41.370 --> 31:44.810 it, Luke. Cared more about the costumes. Um, 31:45.290 --> 31:48.740 so, so She's pleading with, uh, 31:48.980 --> 31:52.100 Corbin Dallas, like, please help, please help. And he's just kind of like, 31:52.820 --> 31:56.100 I don't know if I can do this. Uh, and the cops have now attached 31:56.420 --> 31:59.540 a line between the 2 vehicles so the cop can come over to the cab 31:59.620 --> 32:02.900 and get her out and stuff. And Corbin's like, all right, fuck it, 32:02.980 --> 32:06.980 let's go. And he just like dips down and starts heading directly downwards, 32:07.480 --> 32:10.100 which we don't get a full sense of how high up we are, but I 32:10.180 --> 32:13.860 mean, this is a lot. Orders of magnitude beyond the tallest things that— the structures 32:14.100 --> 32:17.200 that we have, right? You're going Way down there. And, uh, 32:17.360 --> 32:20.160 and we see that he ends up, uh, in this area where he says, 32:20.240 --> 32:23.920 I'm going down through the fog. And they're in New York, uh, City, as it 32:24.000 --> 32:27.440 says, I think. Okay. Um, yeah, that's right. That's where the, the, uh, at least 32:27.520 --> 32:30.880 with the president, although definitely said New York. Yeah. So yeah. Uh, so he goes 32:31.120 --> 32:34.720 down and, you know, is able to evade the cops in this area that's 32:35.220 --> 32:38.240 the fog, which seems like, you know, a lesser patrolled area, clearly kind of like 32:38.320 --> 32:41.840 the underground in Demolition Man type area. 32:42.690 --> 32:46.290 And, uh, and he gets a little bit of this information from her, and what 32:46.370 --> 32:49.730 she's saying to him is like, priest, priest, Vito Cornelius. 32:49.890 --> 32:53.410 And she's given this name, right? And he's able to find him in the 32:53.910 --> 32:57.410 phone book because we'll have phone books in 200 years. Yeah, so phone books and 32:57.490 --> 33:01.090 radio shows are definitely going to be there. I mean, technically, I guess Ruby Rhod's 33:01.590 --> 33:03.330 a podcaster, so we should maybe show a little more respect. 33:05.170 --> 33:09.030 Anyway, um, so, uh, so So Corbin 33:09.190 --> 33:12.710 shows up at Vito Cornelius's apartment, which is, again, like you said, 33:12.870 --> 33:16.150 just— you can look it up. Even though he seems to be a top 5 33:16.310 --> 33:19.910 ranking official in the government that governs 300 billion people. 33:20.230 --> 33:23.830 I get the sense that he's brought in as an advisor in this particular situation 33:24.070 --> 33:27.350 because it's these stones and this stuff, but that actually he's 33:27.850 --> 33:30.070 more like the religion that he represents has been kind of like, oh, okay, 33:30.310 --> 33:34.390 go sit over there. It's maybe even frowned upon or sort of not 33:34.470 --> 33:37.670 given respect anymore because nobody believes it's real. Because if you're only important 33:37.750 --> 33:40.510 every 5,000 years, Like, what do we care kind of thing, you know what I 33:41.010 --> 33:44.590 mean? So it feels to me like he himself, you know, is— So he's 33:45.090 --> 33:47.870 not a big shot, he's just like the expert. It also feels like this religion 33:48.110 --> 33:51.550 only requires a handful of people to exist to believe in it at a time, 33:51.790 --> 33:54.110 right? So that you can hand, you know, pass on to the next generation. 33:54.270 --> 33:57.950 Yeah, you don't need followers for 5,000 years. There's no mass. Yeah, it's just 33:58.030 --> 34:01.070 this priest has to keep this alive and then find a new, you know, 34:01.230 --> 34:04.190 prodigy or whatever to like— or protégé— to, uh, 34:04.350 --> 34:07.680 to, to pass it all on to. Regardless, Dallas brings, 34:08.320 --> 34:11.360 uh, the Supreme Being or whatever to, uh, Vito— to, 34:11.440 --> 34:14.080 uh, Cornelius. He faints when he realizes what's happening. 34:14.640 --> 34:18.320 He immediately says, dips over. 34:18.880 --> 34:22.000 And then, uh, Corbin— Dallas decides to try to kiss her, 34:22.240 --> 34:25.680 which is like very weird. Yeah, it doesn't make sense. 34:25.760 --> 34:29.120 She's passed out. Like, what does he think, it's Sleeping Beauty? Like, it felt weird 34:29.280 --> 34:32.800 to me, um, with his character. Like, in general, it didn't 34:33.300 --> 34:36.810 make sense because he, he's not like Like a horny guy, but not a 34:36.970 --> 34:40.490 horny character, right? Yeah, yeah. But maybe French director. I gotta throw 34:40.570 --> 34:43.770 a little homage to Pepe Le Pew in here or something. Belle à la boîte 34:43.850 --> 34:47.530 d'hommes. So yeah, he he kind of he's like trying to 34:47.690 --> 34:50.490 gently wake her up, and then he creeps in to go to kiss her, 34:50.810 --> 34:54.170 and then before he gets there, his gun is pointed at his head, 34:54.410 --> 34:57.370 and she's got the gun trained on him, and he's just like, "You're right, 34:57.690 --> 35:00.890 you're right. My bad. I shouldn't have done that." Okay. And he's trying 35:01.390 --> 35:04.250 to explain to her like, "Hey, you remember me from the cab? Like what are 35:04.330 --> 35:07.590 we?" You know, I am— what are we doing? What? And, 35:07.750 --> 35:11.190 uh, Jesus Christ, he just goes, he just goes and leaves. 35:11.270 --> 35:14.310 And he asks on his way out, he asks Cornelius, hey, what is— what does 35:14.390 --> 35:17.750 this mean? And it's whatever words she said. And he goes, uh, it means 35:18.070 --> 35:21.190 never, never without my permission. He goes, that's what I thought. Like, you basically told— 35:21.430 --> 35:24.470 she told him, like, don't kiss me without my permission, you know? So, um, 35:24.710 --> 35:28.070 then we cut to our pigmen are back. Yes. And, uh, and we're— well, 35:28.150 --> 35:31.190 actually, no, we're walking, we're walking with, uh, Zorg, with, uh, uh, 35:31.750 --> 35:35.430 Gary Oldman's character with one of the weirdest meaningless 35:35.750 --> 35:38.630 plastic plates on his head. Like, I can't quite figure out— I guess it's just 35:38.710 --> 35:41.750 fashion, I suppose. I can't quite figure it out. Yeah, it's super bizarre. 35:42.070 --> 35:45.270 And it doesn't look like— it's not a— like you said, 35:45.770 --> 35:48.630 it's not like a metal plate that's replacing a missing piece of the skull. 35:48.710 --> 35:52.150 It does look like just a superfluous little extra plastic over his 35:52.230 --> 35:54.950 head. So it must be a fashion choice. But he looks very, very interesting. 35:55.030 --> 35:58.470 A very deep Texas accent, it feels like, is what his accent seems like. 35:58.970 --> 36:01.860 It's really funny in there. But he goes because the pigmen have brought the stones, 36:02.100 --> 36:04.740 the case of stones to him. And so he is then delivering cases full of 36:04.820 --> 36:08.500 these really crazy guns. Yes. With like every possible— it's 36:09.000 --> 36:12.180 got a flamethrower and missile launchers and something that'll freeze people in place 36:12.340 --> 36:15.460 and a net launcher, all this stuff. And they've got 4 cases worth of them. 36:15.620 --> 36:18.180 So he takes the thing and he opens up the case and there's nothing in 36:18.260 --> 36:21.300 the case. And he gets in an argument with the pigmen about like, you know, 36:21.700 --> 36:24.500 what do I need with an empty case? Right, I was gonna give you 4 36:24.660 --> 36:28.500 cases of weapons for 4 stones. For 4 stones, zero stones, zero cases. But then 36:28.580 --> 36:31.140 he ends up acquiescing 'cause it looks like the pigmen are gonna kill him. 36:31.760 --> 36:34.240 says like, okay, one case. You didn't do what you're supposed to do, but I'll 36:34.740 --> 36:36.560 let you keep one of them. And he walks off and he says something to 36:37.060 --> 36:40.080 his assistant about like, like, you know, oh, you know, they really should have asked 36:40.240 --> 36:42.400 about what that red button was at the bottom of the gun. And then you 36:42.480 --> 36:44.800 see one of the guys like looking at it and he presses it and it 36:44.960 --> 36:48.640 blows everybody up. It seems like so. Uh, and his assistant, 36:48.960 --> 36:52.160 before he dealt with the pig guys, uh, the guy was saying like, oh, 36:52.400 --> 36:56.320 they want us to fire 500,000. Should we do that? And he's like, fire 1 36:56.560 --> 37:00.270 million. So he's, he's in some kind of control over some corporation 37:00.430 --> 37:03.870 or something. It's hard to tell exactly. Yeah, this is one of those like Globochem 37:04.270 --> 37:07.550 International type, uh, things there. Evil corporation invested in 37:07.710 --> 37:10.590 Starbucks. Um, so, 37:10.990 --> 37:14.830 so they find out that the stones are missing and that they 37:15.330 --> 37:18.590 are in, uh, Planet Flosston in a hotel. They get 37:18.670 --> 37:21.870 that information, right? No, so yeah, it's, uh, so they call in, like, he needs 37:22.030 --> 37:25.230 to meet with Cornelius. Yeah. And there's this whole scene where like he 37:25.730 --> 37:28.510 basically tells Cornelius like, I need to find these, where are they? And Cornelius is 37:28.590 --> 37:31.850 like, I don't know. Like, whatever. Um, I don't remember exactly how it comes out 37:32.010 --> 37:35.530 with that. Oh no, that's right, because there's a cockroach with a 37:36.030 --> 37:39.130 little, uh, antenna on it that Zorg's man, like, sends into, like, 37:39.210 --> 37:42.250 the government offices or whatever. I think it's like, is on, uh, 37:42.650 --> 37:46.010 Cornelius and, and comes off of him or something like that. Yes. And basically overhears, 37:46.170 --> 37:49.850 yeah, that, like, the stones were entrusted to the diva who 37:49.930 --> 37:53.370 will be performing on— at Flotsam Paradise. 37:53.770 --> 37:57.100 Yeah, Flotsam Paradise. So strange. Right. Which is like 37:57.340 --> 38:00.700 apparently the best luxury hotel in the galaxy or some shit, like whatever it is. 38:01.340 --> 38:03.980 And so that's how they get information about that. 38:04.540 --> 38:07.820 The guy controlling the cockroach is— 38:07.900 --> 38:12.220 do you recognize that guy? A little bit. He's a, like, a trip-hop artist. 38:12.460 --> 38:15.660 I think he was a member of Massive Attack. Tricky. Oh yeah, that's right. 38:16.300 --> 38:19.580 Okay, good weird-looking guy. Yes, very good weird-looking guy. Not the 38:19.660 --> 38:23.340 weird-looking guys from The Prodigy, but kind of in the same ballpark. Absolutely in 38:23.840 --> 38:26.940 the same ballpark. Yeah. Nice. Or was Tricky in Project— no, 38:27.440 --> 38:31.020 I don't think so. So let's see. So when 38:31.340 --> 38:35.860 Zorg is talking to Vito Cornelius in the office, he does— 38:36.300 --> 38:39.740 he starts choking. So he's— yeah, everything is automated in very 38:39.980 --> 38:43.660 funny ways. So this, like, he pushes a button and this 38:43.820 --> 38:46.540 bowl of fruit pops up on his desk and it's like, fruit. 38:47.340 --> 38:50.140 And then he pulls a cherry off there and it says, a cherry. 38:51.490 --> 38:54.610 Um, so he pops this cherry in his mouth, he starts choking. Yes. 38:54.770 --> 38:58.370 And as he's choking, you know, Cornelius realizes like, 38:58.530 --> 39:00.690 okay, I got a little power, I can say some stuff to this guy. 39:01.170 --> 39:04.130 And Zorg is pushing all these buttons and all this weird stuff is happening. 39:04.370 --> 39:07.650 There's like this series of Roombas and all these things that come out. 39:07.890 --> 39:11.170 Dry cleaning pops out of somewhere. It's just very strange stuff left and right. 39:11.330 --> 39:14.850 This creature that's his pet, which I don't understand in any way, 39:15.010 --> 39:19.010 it's like a, like an elephant but Nermal from the Garfield cartoons. 39:19.180 --> 39:22.300 Like, I don't know, I don't like it. I feel like they just had an 39:22.460 --> 39:24.620 extra guy and they were like, we have to use this in the movie. 39:24.780 --> 39:27.980 But very Dark Crystal-y. Yeah, and that little puppet guy did remind me of another 39:28.060 --> 39:30.860 movie, and I'm not gonna think of it now, but like, it really has the 39:30.940 --> 39:33.900 vibe. Well, you know what it looks like? It's, uh, Max Rebo from the, 39:34.060 --> 39:36.860 the blue guy from the, uh, band in Return of the Jedi at the beginning 39:37.360 --> 39:40.380 of Jabba's Palace. Yeah, not blue, but like a little tiny version of that guy. 39:40.460 --> 39:43.740 Yeah, sort of what he looks like. Yeah, so Zorg has all this, this crazy 39:43.980 --> 39:48.030 shit, and, um, and And Vito, you know, ends up— because 39:48.190 --> 39:51.550 Zorg is basically like, hey, money and power are the best things. 39:51.950 --> 39:54.430 And then Vito's like, oh, now that you're choking, 39:55.310 --> 39:58.510 where good is your money and all your gadgets or whatever? Who's here to slap 39:59.010 --> 40:01.470 you on the back? So he saves him from choking. Yeah, which saves his life 40:01.630 --> 40:04.350 because even Zorg even says, you saved my life, so I'll spare yours, but like, 40:04.750 --> 40:08.510 get the fuck out, right? Kind of thing. And then what the conversation that 40:09.010 --> 40:12.040 is overheard by the little cockroach bug includes both that that, you know, the diva 40:12.200 --> 40:14.840 has the stones and she'll be performing at Flosston Paradise. 40:15.480 --> 40:18.440 And then I don't think that they hear— oh, then they hear something about like, 40:18.840 --> 40:22.040 you know, do you have somebody that can handle this? 40:22.200 --> 40:24.280 And the general's like, oh, I got just the right guy in mind. And I 40:24.360 --> 40:27.400 can't remember now if they hear that it's Corbin Dallas or not at this point, 40:27.560 --> 40:31.720 because what we cut to then is Corbin Dallas sitting at his window 40:32.760 --> 40:36.200 out to the world, which is super open and very dangerous. Yeah. 40:36.930 --> 40:40.370 sushi boat, some kind of like Chinese-looking lunch 40:40.850 --> 40:44.370 boat, is sitting outside like serving him lunch, which is great. It feels again 40:44.450 --> 40:48.290 very much like the noodle bar in Blade Runner. Oh yeah, except, except you 40:48.370 --> 40:50.210 have to go to the noodle bar. The noodle bar doesn't come to you. 40:50.290 --> 40:53.730 But like there's a vibe there that's very similar. Um, there's a— so, so much 40:53.810 --> 40:57.010 of this is Blade Runner coded to me. There— yeah, there's a lot of Blade 40:57.170 --> 41:00.050 Runner stuff in here for sure. Um, yeah, so it's kind of cool how this 41:00.130 --> 41:02.930 thing pulls up to his door and the guy— and he gets a letter in 41:03.010 --> 41:06.220 the mail and the guy's like, uh, You know, I bet you it's good news. 41:06.720 --> 41:08.780 I bet you lunch, whatever. And then he finds out he's been fired from his 41:08.940 --> 41:12.700 cab job. Done with that. So during 41:12.940 --> 41:16.620 this time, he gets a visit now from the military people. 41:16.860 --> 41:19.420 This is his Colonel Trautman visit that he's getting, right? 41:20.780 --> 41:24.460 And they're saying, you know, Corbin, like, you're spe— and they run through 41:24.540 --> 41:28.220 some of his credentials. Like, you were Special Forces. You got this award and 41:28.300 --> 41:31.820 this award. Most decorated man in your unit and the only one left alive. 41:32.310 --> 41:35.430 Very, very John Rambo. Right. And what we need you to do is 41:35.590 --> 41:38.390 go to Flawston Paradise because we know where these stones are, 41:38.630 --> 41:41.510 so we're sending you on this mission here. And the diva will be expecting you. 41:41.590 --> 41:43.670 Like, it'll be a thing where it's like, you'll just pick them up and bring 41:44.170 --> 41:46.790 them back, like, no big deal. But they've been announcing all over the radio, 41:47.190 --> 41:50.630 apparently, that he won this contest, which is, like, not the way you do that 41:50.790 --> 41:54.230 sort of thing, but whatever. He then gets another notification that is 41:54.550 --> 41:57.990 actually the information about going with, like, tickets and, like, all this stuff. 41:58.310 --> 42:01.430 And that's when he sees, like, his doorbell rings, whatever, and Leeloo is sitting at 42:01.510 --> 42:04.210 the, you know, the Supreme Being, whatever. I think she called herself Leeloo. by now, 42:04.610 --> 42:07.090 um, is standing at the front door. And he's like, oh my God, like, 42:07.170 --> 42:09.650 and he doesn't want the military people to find them 'cause they'll recognize her and 42:10.150 --> 42:13.570 like whatever else. So he shoves them into like his refrigerator or something and it 42:13.730 --> 42:17.570 goes down somewhere else. And then she comes in, but only— 42:17.970 --> 42:21.650 but also Cornelius is there and he like threatens, you know, Dallas and 42:22.150 --> 42:24.290 is like, give me your, give me your, your tickets. Like, we gotta take 'em. 42:24.790 --> 42:26.210 I'm so sorry to do this, but like we need to go get those stones. 42:27.090 --> 42:31.080 Then the cops show up next, I think. Yeah. Yeah. And they're looking for him. 42:31.160 --> 42:34.840 So he shoves Leeloo into the shower and Cornelius into 42:35.340 --> 42:38.120 the bed, which goes— so everything gets like tucked away. Yeah. Right. And when the 42:38.200 --> 42:41.960 bed goes away, there's like a second bed that's automatically made and wrapped 42:42.040 --> 42:45.560 in plastic that pops up. Right. Very strange. Yeah. So he pushed— he 42:45.640 --> 42:49.000 pushes everyone away. His refrigerator has the capacity for 42:49.160 --> 42:52.840 3 adults. With no shelves in it anymore, apparently. I think it's a bad— 42:53.400 --> 42:56.520 it's a bad use of his space if he has that much. If you have 42:56.600 --> 43:00.040 a walk-in refrigerator, but then like no windows, that's not 43:00.120 --> 43:03.780 good. No, exactly. So, so they're all hidden, but the cops are 43:03.860 --> 43:07.300 coming around. And, uh, on the wall of almost 43:07.540 --> 43:10.740 every building and then a lot of different surfaces, there's these 2 circles, 43:11.300 --> 43:14.580 right? So at different times you'll be asked by the authorities, like, put your 43:14.660 --> 43:18.020 hand in the circles and we're gonna come scan you. Uh, so they're 43:18.520 --> 43:21.940 going, they're looking for Corbin Dallas, right? Right. And they, uh, they scan, 43:22.100 --> 43:25.940 they're like, are you Corbin Dallas? And he's like, uh, or are— do 43:26.440 --> 43:30.200 you identify as human? Yeah. And he says, No, I am a meat popsicle. 43:32.600 --> 43:35.720 So here's the thing. So they find that the neighbor— so 43:35.800 --> 43:38.440 the little Corbin Dallas, it's like he had a little card on his, on his 43:38.520 --> 43:41.560 door. Yeah. And it got put on another door. I think maybe Cornelius did or 43:42.060 --> 43:45.560 something to like uncover the people. I don't remember. The point is the cops go 43:45.640 --> 43:48.680 to the other guy and scan him and, you know, ask him to scan, 43:48.760 --> 43:51.240 and he's like, no, fuck off, or whatever. So they just take him and say, 43:51.320 --> 43:55.240 we got Corbin Dallas. Yeah. They were able to scan in 2.5 43:55.400 --> 43:58.990 seconds Leeloo and get no file. Yeah, why do they 43:59.070 --> 44:02.510 not just scan Corbin Dallas to see that he's Corbin Dallas? It's so weird. 44:02.910 --> 44:06.590 Like a tiny handwritten, obviously moved name tag on 44:06.670 --> 44:10.190 the door is what they took as the full evidence. Yeah, so they do take 44:10.270 --> 44:13.870 him away, um, but so the police get him, 44:13.950 --> 44:16.750 but it's the pig guys, right? Isn't that— or no, the pig guys come and, 44:16.910 --> 44:19.950 and ambush the cops to take the guy, right? Isn't that it? 44:20.350 --> 44:23.070 I can't remember now. Yeah, so the pig guys end up with, 44:23.390 --> 44:27.070 with the guy. So everyone's— they know that Corbin Dallas has won the tickets to 44:27.150 --> 44:30.330 this thing. They all know they need to go. They And the only way anyone 44:30.410 --> 44:33.770 can think of to go there is to pretend to be Corbin Dallas. Everything's sold 44:33.850 --> 44:37.050 out because that's yeah who's meeting the diva and all that stuff. Exactly. 44:38.650 --> 44:42.250 So let's see here. This is when the movie starts 44:42.330 --> 44:46.410 getting a little complicated at this point. Frankly, I do have to say like Luke 44:46.570 --> 44:50.490 Basson really went really went crazy with this. So we're arriving now 44:50.730 --> 44:53.850 kind of at the departure center here. Yeah. Well, so wait. So Cornelius has knocked 44:54.090 --> 44:56.890 Dallas out and taken the ticket. He's got that same person. He's going to pretend 44:57.050 --> 45:00.820 that he or actually. his assistant is, is going to pretend to be Dallas, 45:00.900 --> 45:04.580 Corbin Dallas, and Leeloo will be Leeloo Dallas, his wife, whatever. And they'll 45:05.080 --> 45:07.300 go so that they can retrieve the thing. It's actually not a terrible plan, 45:07.540 --> 45:11.140 except that Cornelius's assistant is milquetoast and not— He 45:11.300 --> 45:14.660 has no— yeah, right, very bad. He has no fortitude at all. 45:14.980 --> 45:18.260 Uh, he is wearing a really cool, like, Devo plant pot kind 45:18.760 --> 45:22.340 of looking hat. That, uh, that's a nice choice there. Um, 45:22.980 --> 45:26.980 so yeah, so they're The assistant and Leeloo now are up 45:27.060 --> 45:30.900 at the travel agent desk, and they've gotten Leeloo Dallas an ID. So they have 45:30.980 --> 45:34.180 these IDs that say multipass, right? And, uh, 45:34.980 --> 45:38.740 and the lady's like, you know, are you Corbin Dallas? Yeah, yeah, I'm Corbin Dallas. 45:39.220 --> 45:42.740 Are you? And she's like, Leeloo Dallas, multipass. Like, clearly, you know. 45:43.060 --> 45:46.100 But the real Corbin Dallas shows up and basically shows up behind him right as 45:46.180 --> 45:48.660 things are going wrong. He's like, oh hey, thanks for holding my spot, man. 45:48.980 --> 45:52.020 Deuces. Like, yeah. And so he's like, he's got his pass. So now they, 45:52.180 --> 45:55.700 they are the two actually getting on the ship to go to this place. 45:55.860 --> 45:58.900 Yeah, but immediately after that, someone who 45:59.060 --> 46:02.740 looks just like the guy that was kidnapped by the cops and then kidnapped again 46:02.820 --> 46:06.420 by the pigs and a woman show up and claim to 46:06.920 --> 46:09.460 be Corbin Dallas and Leeloo Dallas, or, you know, whoever. And they're like, wait, 46:09.700 --> 46:12.900 what? And then it's like, you can see, it's like maybe stress causes this, 46:12.980 --> 46:16.580 but those pig guys are like shapeshifters. Yes. And like the shapeshifting starts 46:16.660 --> 46:19.940 to like falter for the guy, and the woman's like, oh, let's go, let's go, 46:20.440 --> 46:23.400 let's go. Like they walk away. And then like, another good weird-looking guy. Yeah, 46:23.560 --> 46:27.400 exactly. And then fucking Tricky shows up or whatever to also pretend to be Corbin 46:27.900 --> 46:31.480 Dallas. Yeah, so everybody's trying to be Corbin Dallas. So everyone 46:31.980 --> 46:35.240 has the same bad plan. Exactly. But actual Corbin Dallas gets on the actual ship. 46:35.480 --> 46:38.360 So yeah, um, so now Corbin, 46:38.680 --> 46:41.960 uh, part of the deal of his winning this thing is he's 46:42.460 --> 46:46.120 gonna appear the next day or later that day on Ruby Rhod's show. And this 46:46.200 --> 46:49.800 is who we haven't seen yet or heard from, which would have helped if maybe 46:50.120 --> 46:53.490 the most famous radio show in the world was like on at least in a 46:53.570 --> 46:56.930 couple seconds, referenced in any way, different parts, right? Because it's like, all right, 46:57.090 --> 47:00.050 what the fuck? Because it becomes a whole different movie. It really does. 47:00.370 --> 47:03.650 It shifts so hard. We get this crazy-ass, uh, scene where Chris 47:03.810 --> 47:07.010 Tucker as Ruby Rhod— he is definitely like a, 47:08.050 --> 47:11.330 like a Prince-inspired type character, a little androgynous, 47:11.650 --> 47:15.410 wild, uh, haircut, this blonde, uh, haircut with 47:15.570 --> 47:19.090 like a cylinder of blonde hair shooting out almost like a unicorn horn, 47:19.250 --> 47:22.530 but like a flashlight. Yeah, for a unicorn horn, um, 47:22.850 --> 47:27.230 that's coming out the front of his head. And, uh, this costume 47:27.710 --> 47:31.390 design here is great. The way that the flight attendants and the ticketing agents 47:31.550 --> 47:35.310 and all this stuff, these women are dressed, is very cool and futuristic looking. 47:35.630 --> 47:37.950 Like, I think they nailed that part of it. And it's so funny that like 47:38.110 --> 47:41.390 every single person that's not important to the plot 47:41.550 --> 47:44.590 that we meet is either a fat guy who's 47:45.090 --> 47:48.510 a cop or like a supermodel woman. Yeah, that's it. That's all that exists, 47:48.750 --> 47:51.070 it seems like, except for like the actual characters that are in there. They're all 47:51.230 --> 47:54.370 unique. But like all the like standard people in the world are either like fat 47:54.450 --> 47:57.810 like the cop guys, or they're these model women. And it's just an interesting— it's 47:58.310 --> 48:00.450 like the King of Queens universe. Um, 48:01.970 --> 48:05.490 and so, so Ruby Rhod, we get a lot of him dancing around. 48:05.730 --> 48:09.490 The music is very weird, reminds me a lot of the Simon Phoenix 48:09.570 --> 48:12.770 scenes in Demolition Man. With the red scratches. I don't know if it was— 48:13.270 --> 48:16.610 I don't think it's the same, uh, person doing the music, but really like bizarre. 48:17.090 --> 48:19.590 Yeah, super '90s. Kind of shit. Yep. Um, 48:20.470 --> 48:23.830 there's a pretty unnecessary ruby rod, 48:24.070 --> 48:27.190 like, sex scene, like, extended scene where it keeps cutting back and 48:27.350 --> 48:31.350 forth to him, like, going down on one of these, uh, flight attendants 48:31.670 --> 48:35.430 and then cutting to the other action with, uh, with Corbin 48:35.510 --> 48:38.790 and stuff. I do not like to see Chris Tucker engaged in 48:38.870 --> 48:41.430 sexual activity on an aircraft. That's all. 48:42.870 --> 48:46.310 All right. It's too close to home. Here's the thing though, I think that the 48:46.390 --> 48:50.020 scene— this part was put in— I really felt like for years, like, not just 48:50.100 --> 48:53.620 this watch-through. This element of having Ruby Rhod go down 48:53.780 --> 48:56.900 on this flight attendant and have sex with her, I think was included 48:57.380 --> 49:00.580 strictly for the reason that then nobody could claim Chris Tucker 49:00.660 --> 49:04.420 played a gay character. 'Cause Ruby Rhod comes off as so, like, androgynous in some 49:04.500 --> 49:08.100 ways and effeminate in others. Yeah. You would absolutely be not at all out of 49:08.180 --> 49:10.980 line to assume, like, oh, that guy might be gay, like, as a character, 49:11.300 --> 49:14.740 right? No. But in order to make sure, for whatever reason, that that was not 49:14.900 --> 49:17.460 what was going to be believed, let's make sure that he goes down on a 49:17.960 --> 49:19.950 flight attendant and fucks her before they take off. Like, yeah, yeah, that was just— 49:20.110 --> 49:23.150 I honestly believe that only exists there to tell us like, and he's a hetero. 49:23.470 --> 49:26.830 Like, okay, right. I guess, remember, we're French, right? 49:27.550 --> 49:30.270 I guess it was still important to make sure we call that out. 49:30.990 --> 49:34.910 But Ruby Rhod does have some kind of, uh, Starina-style reactions to 49:34.990 --> 49:38.190 things, you know? Like I said, very definitely coded. 49:38.670 --> 49:42.270 Um, so let's see here. So now we're ready 49:42.350 --> 49:45.390 to take off. They're putting everybody to sleep in these little sleep containers. Yeah. 49:45.630 --> 49:49.230 And Zorg's right-hand man Tricky, right, is calling and saying like, I didn't get on 49:49.730 --> 49:51.130 the planes. Like, what do you mean? Or I think, what do you mean you 49:51.210 --> 49:53.930 get on it? Like, the real Corbin Dallas showed up. Like, I couldn't get the 49:54.430 --> 49:57.130 thing. Like, blah, blah, blah, whatever. And he was like, oh, well, that's just too 49:57.210 --> 50:00.490 bad. And then it's like he blows him up remotely. Like, the dude was wearing 50:00.570 --> 50:03.290 a bomb or something. So he just blows him up in the middle of the 50:03.370 --> 50:07.210 spaceport, which causes a bunch of chaos, but doesn't actually sort of like help anything. 50:08.410 --> 50:12.250 I do think that Cornelius gets onto the ship through the 50:12.410 --> 50:16.090 landing gear. Yes. The opposite of how we've seen landing gear used in the past. 50:16.970 --> 50:20.070 He does. And then Cornelius does, does the reverse 50:20.310 --> 50:23.830 John Matrix. Exactly. Yeah. And he climbs up in the landing gear. Um, 50:24.150 --> 50:27.590 and another puppet effect where they were pulling the, uh, the vermin 50:27.750 --> 50:30.950 out of the landing gear, like these parasites that get stuck in here, and these 50:31.110 --> 50:34.550 little like balls of rat thing that they were just shooting with a flamethrower. 50:34.950 --> 50:38.710 Again, kind of unnecessary. I feel like the puppet budget was just way under and 50:38.790 --> 50:44.090 they just did some extra shit on this. Um, so Sorg 50:44.250 --> 50:47.130 gets a phone call. Yes, from Mr. Shadow. Mr. 50:47.450 --> 50:50.650 Shadow, which— Fucking kill yourself. So this 50:51.150 --> 50:55.130 is actually funnier. The, the big space ball darkness thing, yeah, starts to 50:55.210 --> 50:58.490 like emanate some kind of radio wave. And the, and the government people 50:58.570 --> 51:01.690 that are watching— now there's a bunch of ships not attacking it but just sort 51:02.190 --> 51:04.410 of like watching it so that they have an eye on it, right? And they 51:04.490 --> 51:06.570 all say like, oh, you know, they report to the president, sir, there's some like 51:06.730 --> 51:09.130 radio waves emanating from it. It's like, why would that happen? It's like, maybe it's 51:09.630 --> 51:12.550 trying to communicate. Then the fucking phone rings in Zorg's office. It's like, 51:15.190 --> 51:18.150 really? Like, what the fuck? And then he's talking, and it's this, 51:18.230 --> 51:21.430 of course, a super deep voice, like, Zorg, I need the thing. 51:21.830 --> 51:24.710 Where's the stones? Like the whole deal, right? Because we should— I think we did 51:24.790 --> 51:28.150 mention this little bit of lore. If, if the 4 stones are put together and 51:28.650 --> 51:31.590 then the Supreme Being is in the middle of the stones, it'll be a weapon 51:31.910 --> 51:35.930 against all of evil. But if the evil is there and then 51:36.010 --> 51:38.970 it destroys all life throughout all of the universe. Like, it's like the opposite thing, 51:39.130 --> 51:42.250 right? So, so that's— this evil entity is trying to get to where 51:42.410 --> 51:45.210 the 4 stones are so that it can cause the death of all life. 51:45.530 --> 51:48.410 Okay, while talking to Mr. 51:48.810 --> 51:52.090 Shadow, Zorg, he just starts bleeding from 51:52.170 --> 51:55.690 his head, not from a wound. Yeah. The darkest, brownest blood. 51:56.410 --> 51:59.450 It's like the worst effect in the whole movie, full of good effects. Yeah. 51:59.770 --> 52:03.050 Why was this blood so bizarre looking? That was like— it looked 52:03.130 --> 52:06.820 like sewer water, like, just dripping down his face. Yeah, that was, 52:06.900 --> 52:10.180 that was a weird choice. Very strange. Because it almost like show— I, 52:10.340 --> 52:14.020 I guess it explains the plastic thing there because at least that came into play 52:14.100 --> 52:17.780 with the blood. But show like your nose or your ear bleeding or something like 52:17.860 --> 52:20.740 that. I don't know, unnecessary, that whole part, skip it. 52:21.300 --> 52:25.300 Um, so the Flossen Paradise, they're arriving and it's like 52:25.380 --> 52:28.740 a big cruise ship but also goes into space because it shows in water too. 52:29.140 --> 52:31.860 But then when they arrive, it's kind of like Hawaii. They have leis, they have 52:31.940 --> 52:35.100 Polynesian music and all this stuff. Crap skirts and shit. Like, it's so fucking weird. 52:35.820 --> 52:39.660 Why would it be Hawaii? Anyway, so they 52:39.820 --> 52:43.340 arrive at Flossin' Paradise, and Dallas gets a call from his mom, which you 52:43.420 --> 52:46.460 mentioned before. Tons of calls from his mom. Like, why? That's happening. 52:46.700 --> 52:49.500 Don't help. Not funny, doesn't help. But she does say one funny line here, 52:49.580 --> 52:53.660 which is, I never should have pushed you out. It's like pretty 52:53.820 --> 52:57.260 legit. So they check into their 52:57.420 --> 53:00.700 suite. So they know that the diva is gonna 53:00.780 --> 53:04.060 be staying nearby. That's who they have to meet. That's who has the 53:04.140 --> 53:07.560 stones for it. Them, uh, but they're gonna go to the concert beforehand and all 53:07.640 --> 53:10.840 that. Um, when they, they check into the suite, 53:10.920 --> 53:14.840 it's very blue and opulent. I mean, a good sweepstakes 53:14.920 --> 53:18.200 winner suite, because a lot of times they put you in the most crap room, 53:18.440 --> 53:21.160 you know. This looked like a presidential. This is good. This was fancy. You're staying 53:21.320 --> 53:24.440 near the entertainer for the night. There you go. Yeah, it's like rooming next to 53:24.520 --> 53:26.600 Carrot Top in, uh, in Vegas. Lovely. 53:28.280 --> 53:31.800 So now at this concert of this diva, who is definitely 53:32.120 --> 53:35.320 a non-human thing, but there aren't other versions of that, 53:35.720 --> 53:39.380 uh, alien race that I've seen. Doesn't explain where from, 53:39.460 --> 53:42.660 it's just, you know, not a human. Correct. And some kind 53:43.160 --> 53:46.820 of alien, taller tubes coming out of your head, no clothes. Yeah, 53:46.900 --> 53:49.860 yeah. But yeah, so they go to the, to the opera house on the ship 53:50.020 --> 53:53.300 where the show's gonna happen, and Ruby Rhod is doing his radio show. So at 53:53.380 --> 53:56.260 the start of this, he's got his little microphone on the whole time and he 53:56.340 --> 53:59.940 is broadcasting everything that's happening, everything he's saying, everything he's 54:00.440 --> 54:03.990 hearing is getting broadcasted over his radio show starting with arriving at this thing. 54:04.150 --> 54:07.270 And Leeloo's not with him. I don't know why. They don't really explain why. 54:07.750 --> 54:10.070 But Dallas is there. He's got a tux on, and he's like there to watch 54:10.150 --> 54:13.510 the show or whatever and meet with the diva after the show, because they were 54:14.010 --> 54:16.390 told like after the show the diva will, will, you know, do the handoff. 54:17.350 --> 54:19.750 Yeah. And, uh, so with the diva concert, 54:20.710 --> 54:23.990 kind of a cool scene. I mean, it doesn't— it 54:24.070 --> 54:27.190 doesn't fit, but nothing in this fits that well. But it is like 54:27.350 --> 54:30.630 a pretty enjoyable scene, and especially as it picks up with the singing 54:30.740 --> 54:35.460 It gets cool. The, the little hand motions she's doing, the— where 54:35.540 --> 54:38.500 she's like popping her hands in and out, almost jazz hands, very silly. 54:39.140 --> 54:42.420 Um, spirit fingers. But it's a good thing to have in the background. 54:42.740 --> 54:46.260 They're cutting back and forth between the Divas concert and these pig, 54:46.660 --> 54:50.420 uh, the pig guys that have broken into the Divas hotel room looking for 54:50.920 --> 54:53.860 the stone. So they're pulling it apart. They make no— they make no attempt to 54:54.180 --> 54:57.470 explain in any way, shape, or form how the pigs got on board. Why did 54:57.630 --> 55:00.670 they care about impersonating Korben Dallas to get on board 55:00.830 --> 55:03.870 if they could just get on board their entire army? Well, they could just shift 55:04.350 --> 55:07.310 into like a crew member, right? But that's the thing, it's like, it doesn't make 55:07.810 --> 55:10.350 any sense like why they even gave a shit about going that route of getting 55:10.590 --> 55:14.430 Korben Dallas's thing, like whatever. So they have their own ships. Yeah, right. And so 55:14.510 --> 55:17.950 they're all there, there's like 100 of them or some shit. But they basically start, 55:18.110 --> 55:21.870 um, uh, they go into the Diva's like room and then 55:21.950 --> 55:24.910 like Leeloo is trying to like fight them. And so this is really this battle 55:25.070 --> 55:28.580 that's happening. It's an intercutting back and forth between the, the show, uh, 55:29.080 --> 55:32.740 in the opera room, the opera theater, and then this, this fight happening between 55:32.980 --> 55:36.500 the pigs and Leeloo, um, and with the music playing the whole 55:37.000 --> 55:39.540 time. So the music track plays the whole time, but we cut visually back and 55:39.620 --> 55:42.660 forth, and it really is one of the best sequences in this movie. Very, 55:42.820 --> 55:45.380 very entertaining, a lot of fun. Um, 55:46.340 --> 55:49.700 but then Zorg arrives as well. Like, he shows up. Yeah. 55:50.200 --> 55:53.720 And so, like, the pigs attack, Leeloo's fighting them, But then 55:53.800 --> 55:56.920 as she's kind of winning and getting close to winning, one of them has grabbed 55:57.080 --> 56:01.160 the case that they believe has the stones in it, right? And then Zorg 56:01.320 --> 56:04.600 shows up to the room with that crazy gun that he had before. 56:04.760 --> 56:08.200 Yeah. And so he kills the other pigs, and then he is like shooting 56:08.360 --> 56:11.880 after Leeloo, gets her up into the ductwork above, 56:12.040 --> 56:15.400 doesn't actually kill her, but is like fighting or whatever. And he finally decides 56:15.480 --> 56:18.320 to like grab the stones and like go to leave. 56:19.410 --> 56:22.850 But then in the meantime, the pigs have taken 56:23.090 --> 56:25.970 over the ship and attack the diva. 56:26.290 --> 56:29.010 Yeah, right. The pig guys are just like, well, 56:29.490 --> 56:32.690 they know the diva has the stones. That's what they're trying— Zorg came after us. 56:32.930 --> 56:36.530 They're like, we're just gonna fuck things up too, right? And we can sell them 56:36.610 --> 56:40.370 to somebody else. And yeah, uh, so yeah, so they're just going crazy and 56:40.870 --> 56:43.810 they're kind of shooting up the concert. Uh, and this was the point in the 56:44.310 --> 56:47.130 movie I just had to write a quick quote from my wife Jeannie, who looked 56:47.210 --> 56:49.210 at me and said, I'm sorry, I hate this. 56:52.410 --> 56:55.850 Oh man. So, so there's a lot of shooting happening 56:56.250 --> 56:59.370 here. Uh, the Diva gets shot and, um, 56:59.930 --> 57:02.810 just a lot of chaos, right? So Corbin is trying to help out. This is 57:02.890 --> 57:06.170 a pretty good, uh, shootout scene with the different stuff that's happening. Like, 57:06.250 --> 57:09.930 he's taking these guys out. Good, like, dives in slow motion and good action 57:10.170 --> 57:13.610 sequence in general. And then so, uh, but like, Leeloo is out of the picture. 57:13.930 --> 57:17.690 Zorg has set a 20- bomb on the door 57:17.930 --> 57:21.850 to the Diva's room or whatever. When Dallas tries to 57:21.930 --> 57:25.290 help the Diva because she's been shot, she tells him about 57:25.370 --> 57:29.130 who Leeloo is, basically. Like, she's the supreme being, but like, also she's 57:29.450 --> 57:32.410 fragile. Like, you need— she needs you. Like, you need to help her, kind of 57:32.910 --> 57:35.290 thing. You can't just trust that, you know, whatever. You gotta find her. But she's 57:35.790 --> 57:38.250 the weapon that kills the evil, basically. So like, you need her and she needs 57:38.330 --> 57:40.490 the stones. And he goes, well, I don't have the stones. Where are the stones? 57:40.570 --> 57:43.820 She goes, the stones are in me. And so this is— he pulls them out 57:43.900 --> 57:47.260 of her, like, stomach. This is when we see Zorg having left, 57:48.460 --> 57:51.900 already on his little ship to escape, 'cause he set that 20-minute bomb, drives off. 57:52.140 --> 57:55.660 That's when he decides to open the case. No fucking way. 57:55.900 --> 57:59.180 Like, this guy already got bamboozled by an empty case he thought had 57:59.680 --> 58:02.540 the stones in it. There is no way he walks out of that hotel room 58:02.780 --> 58:06.380 without opening the fucking box. I'm sorry. No way. I don't leave the fucking Taco 58:06.540 --> 58:09.660 Bell window without verifying my bag is the stuff that I ordered, 58:09.980 --> 58:13.670 right? Like, it's so high stakes to wait that long. 58:13.910 --> 58:17.430 Like, it's ridiculous, dude. This fits just like, uh, Buco saying, 58:17.910 --> 58:20.710 you know, make the— make it look like an accident or whatever in Desperado. 58:21.210 --> 58:24.470 It's like, it doesn't make any sense. Like, but sure enough, he's left, 58:24.790 --> 58:27.990 and so he has to come back because he doesn't have the stones. 58:29.270 --> 58:32.150 Uh, okay, so where are we? Dallas has pulled them out of the Diva. 58:32.230 --> 58:36.230 That's the last thing I heard. So Dallas has the stones now. Um, he is 58:36.680 --> 58:39.800 kind of cornered in the bar area by these pig guys who are 58:39.880 --> 58:43.000 like shooting at him and stuff. He's looking around for help. Ruby Rod, no help 58:43.160 --> 58:46.680 there. He's just kind of freaking out. There's another guy they introduced earlier who's like 58:47.180 --> 58:50.360 a famous actor, but he's deaf, right? You know, so there's a gag where, 58:50.860 --> 58:53.240 uh, Corbin Dallas is like, hey, hey, like, throw me that gun, throw me that 58:53.320 --> 58:56.520 gun. The guy like looks over at him kind of cluelessly and then finally 58:56.840 --> 59:00.200 like throws him something and like gives him a look like, did I do good? 59:00.440 --> 59:03.080 And he just threw him like 2 pool balls. Yeah, they call it billiard balls. 59:03.580 --> 59:07.100 I was like, Jesus. Um, so there's like 59:07.260 --> 59:11.020 some goofy shit where he has one of the pig guys like gets 59:11.340 --> 59:13.900 launched on the other end of a board and his head sticks through the ceiling 59:14.300 --> 59:17.740 above him. And then, I don't know, but a decent, 59:18.220 --> 59:21.660 decent shootout and explosion here. And we're flashing back to Zorg's bomb and 59:22.160 --> 59:24.860 we see that there's only 10 minutes left. Yes. And then that's when Zorg turns 59:25.180 --> 59:28.460 around to head back to the ship because he realizes he doesn't have the 59:28.540 --> 59:31.550 stones. Yep. Uh, there's more fighting, more fighting, more fighting. 59:32.350 --> 59:35.870 Um, oh, they've got Vito as a hostage. That's right. The— oh, 59:36.370 --> 59:39.310 they're called— I did write this down— the Mangalores. That's what they were called. 59:39.630 --> 59:43.070 That's right, that's right. Because Dallas says if you kill the leader— 59:43.550 --> 59:47.390 yeah, Mangalores don't fight without their leader. Right. Lucky you, I guess. Maybe that's— 59:47.470 --> 59:51.390 maybe Buco was a Mangalore. Yeah. Holy shit. Okay. Um, good scene where 59:51.630 --> 59:54.990 he looks in, he looks in very quickly. So they've got, they've got Vito 59:55.150 --> 59:58.810 at gunpoint and there's a bunch of them in there, and Korben just quickly peeks 59:58.970 --> 01:00:01.690 around the corner. He's like, 7 on the left, 4 on the right, and then 01:00:01.770 --> 01:00:04.730 turns around, like fires a few shots off, and then he's like, 3 on the 01:00:04.810 --> 01:00:07.930 left, 2 on the right side. That's a good— Good, but buried, 01:00:08.170 --> 01:00:10.570 you know, buried in this. And then they call out, you know, send out somebody 01:00:10.810 --> 01:00:14.090 to negotiate, and, and he's like looking at like the XO, like the executive officer 01:00:14.490 --> 01:00:17.210 on the ship or whatever, uh, who by the way was also the young, 01:00:17.610 --> 01:00:21.290 uh, crew member on Event Horizon, the one who goes out the, uh, goes out 01:00:21.450 --> 01:00:24.010 the airlock at one point and almost dies out in the vacuum of space. 01:00:24.170 --> 01:00:26.890 Oh nice. Same actor. Yeah, he's also, uh, Norm, the guy who, 01:00:27.130 --> 01:00:30.710 uh, pretends to be the British professor in Something About Mary and is 01:00:30.870 --> 01:00:34.310 actually just the pizza guy. That's right. Anyway, good stuff from him. 01:00:34.550 --> 01:00:37.750 But, you know, so Dallas is like, yeah, I'll negotiate, I'll go negotiate. So he 01:00:37.830 --> 01:00:41.110 just walks right up and just, you know, one-shots the leader into the, you know, 01:00:41.430 --> 01:00:44.550 between the eyes, uh, which, yeah, sure enough makes all the rest of them draw 01:00:44.710 --> 01:00:48.070 down. We're just gonna leave. No revenge. Yeah, no, no, no, there's no— I'm just 01:00:48.570 --> 01:00:50.790 gonna go. I didn't get paid for this mission, but I'm just gonna leave now. 01:00:50.870 --> 01:00:54.800 Yeah, yeah. Suddenly I'm very scared. Very weird. Uh, but Yeah, 01:00:55.300 --> 01:00:58.800 so they they find Lilu. He's looking around for Lilu. 01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:02.400 He finds her up in the vents. Yep. She's not as good at negotiating 01:01:02.560 --> 01:01:06.240 the vents as Bruce Willis was in Die Hard or as good as Billy Tepper 01:01:06.320 --> 01:01:09.200 was in in Toy Soldier. That's true. She did get shot though, 01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:12.160 so I think that's part of. I think she's starting to bleed down. Yeah, 01:01:12.320 --> 01:01:16.400 got slowed down a little bit. But the bomb they as Vito 01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:18.880 walks into the room, they're all kind of catching each other and he's just kind 01:01:19.380 --> 01:01:21.900 of like up up up up. Up, up, up, up, up. Like, just such a 01:01:22.140 --> 01:01:25.820 stupid fuck. And this is the thing, the fucking bomb's been there for 15 minutes. 01:01:26.320 --> 01:01:28.780 It says 5 minutes now on the thing, and he's like, is that a bomb? 01:01:29.020 --> 01:01:32.700 And they're like, no, of course it's not, because this ship has alarms that detect 01:01:32.940 --> 01:01:36.220 bombs and go off whenever it detects a bomb. And at that exact moment, 01:01:36.460 --> 01:01:39.020 the alarm goes off. There's a bomb on the ship. Why the fuck didn't that 01:01:39.520 --> 01:01:42.460 happen 15 minutes ago? Yeah. Oh my God. So everyone's, 01:01:42.540 --> 01:01:46.320 everyone's running, everyone's evacuating the ship there. Um, 01:01:46.880 --> 01:01:50.400 yeah, causing a full evacuation. Yeah. Uh, so they end up, 01:01:50.720 --> 01:01:54.000 you know, barely escaping, of course, with 1 second left. 01:01:54.160 --> 01:01:57.440 And Zorn doesn't make it. Yeah, well, Zorn comes back blown up. 01:01:57.760 --> 01:02:00.640 Well, no, Zorn comes back and turns off the bomb. He like defuses it. 01:02:01.040 --> 01:02:04.240 Oh, that's right. But there's a secondary bomb. The pigs— one of the pig guys 01:02:04.480 --> 01:02:08.240 had like a thing on his wrist that, you know, raised the other bomb 01:02:08.720 --> 01:02:11.920 that then just had 5 seconds. It wasn't another 20 minutes, it was just whatever 01:02:12.160 --> 01:02:15.040 time was left. So that bomb communicates with the other? 01:02:15.520 --> 01:02:18.960 Or did they just have a 5-second bomb? Because that's right, a 5-second fuse 01:02:19.120 --> 01:02:22.000 is plenty. Yeah, right. Jesus Christ. Anyway, 01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:26.480 uh, so Zorg is done. He's— he's no longer a factor. 01:02:26.980 --> 01:02:29.520 The big guys are no longer a factor, right? Dallas steals his ship. He's got 01:02:30.020 --> 01:02:33.520 Leeloo, he's got the stones, he's got Cornelius all on his ship, and Ruby 01:02:33.600 --> 01:02:37.840 Rhod. And they all escape on Zorg's ship as the Flotsam, 01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:41.600 whatever the fuck, Paradise blows blows up, killing Zorg and lots of other people probably. 01:02:42.240 --> 01:02:45.680 Um, but yeah, then the, the president and 01:02:46.180 --> 01:02:48.960 the generals are shown celebrating because it's like, oh, they got the stones and they 01:02:49.040 --> 01:02:52.240 got this and like whatever. And then it's like, oh, the evil planet is now 01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:55.760 racing towards us at like 12,000 miles a second or some shit. Like, you know, 01:02:56.000 --> 01:02:59.280 totally a, uh, mission accomplished banner moment by the, 01:02:59.360 --> 01:03:02.560 uh, the president and crew. Yep. Um, yeah, so they're, 01:03:03.060 --> 01:03:06.320 they're heading towards Earth in this ship and, uh, on the ship again 01:03:06.540 --> 01:03:10.060 And this is just another fucking— like, 01:03:10.860 --> 01:03:14.220 this is something that a 14-year-old would put in the 01:03:14.300 --> 01:03:17.100 movie, is, is Leeloo is watching, like, 01:03:17.740 --> 01:03:20.940 she's going through the Encarta CD of encyclopedias. 01:03:21.180 --> 01:03:23.660 Because she only got to V. She said, yeah, she told us, I only got 01:03:23.740 --> 01:03:26.780 to V. And then she gets to W, and then 01:03:27.020 --> 01:03:30.540 war comes up, right? And she's watching all these horrific— and you 01:03:30.620 --> 01:03:34.440 will never meet a person who's more against war than me. Fucking A. 01:03:35.480 --> 01:03:38.600 This is the ham-handedest shit I've ever seen. 01:03:39.080 --> 01:03:42.440 If you had a hand made of ham, you could construct a full ham 01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:46.040 using that thing that they made Leeloo with at the beginning. You know the only 01:03:46.120 --> 01:03:49.320 thing I hate more than war, Nic? The only thing I hate more than war 01:03:49.960 --> 01:03:52.120 is shitty fucking plot points like this. Exactly, 01:03:53.800 --> 01:03:57.000 exactly. I'm pro-war after watching this. Well, I'm not gonna go there, 01:03:57.080 --> 01:04:00.470 but hey, to each their own. So like it shows her watching it and 01:04:00.550 --> 01:04:02.390 kind of like breaking down. But again, 01:04:04.150 --> 01:04:07.510 this— that belongs in a movie that includes elements of 01:04:07.590 --> 01:04:10.470 this movie. But I don't know, I don't know if it all fits. That should 01:04:10.550 --> 01:04:13.350 be in The Sixth Element. Do the next one. This is— yeah, so they, 01:04:13.510 --> 01:04:17.110 they land. Luckily there's a parking spot right at that pyramid. To be fair, 01:04:17.270 --> 01:04:20.790 that's the middle of fucking nowhere. There's nothing within, like, there— it's 01:04:21.290 --> 01:04:24.550 not near other temples. Nothing, nothing at all. So they 01:04:24.710 --> 01:04:27.590 nailed it and, and they've got the stone. So they end up in this room 01:04:27.750 --> 01:04:31.460 and there's There's kind of 4 pillars surrounding this big area in the 01:04:31.540 --> 01:04:34.020 middle. So one is for each of the stones and they're trying to figure out, 01:04:34.260 --> 01:04:36.660 all right, what goes where? And each of the stones has kind of a symbol 01:04:36.900 --> 01:04:40.580 on the side so I could tell, okay, the fire's this. And then now 01:04:40.660 --> 01:04:44.100 what? What do we do? And so I think it's, 01:04:45.540 --> 01:04:48.900 Leeloo is not well, like she's not doing well, but she does crack out a 01:04:48.980 --> 01:04:52.500 couple of sentences to Dallas, something about like wind blows, 01:04:53.060 --> 01:04:56.840 fire burns. That's all she says, and it's like, that's nothing. But the assistant guy, 01:04:56.920 --> 01:05:00.440 Cornelius's assistant, like sighs, right, on the wind one, 01:05:00.680 --> 01:05:03.080 and it moves a little. And they were trying to figure out how it happened, 01:05:03.160 --> 01:05:05.800 and they eventually figured out, and Corbin like blows on it, and sure enough, 01:05:06.300 --> 01:05:08.680 it like, bunch of fucking little sparkles come above it. So it's like, okay, 01:05:08.760 --> 01:05:12.120 do it. So, you know, uh, uh, Cornelius sweats onto the water one. 01:05:12.520 --> 01:05:15.320 Yeah. And they pick up some dust and dirt and drop it onto the earth 01:05:15.480 --> 01:05:18.360 one. And then the fire one, you know, Ruby Rhoades, the fire one, he was 01:05:18.860 --> 01:05:21.730 like, Corbin, Corbin, Corbin, I ain't got no fire, Corbin. I ain't got no matches, 01:05:21.810 --> 01:05:25.330 Corbin. Corbin. So sure enough, Corbin has a matchbook with him, 01:05:25.570 --> 01:05:28.930 or a matchbox with one match left, which by the way looked like it was 01:05:29.010 --> 01:05:32.290 used. The top was black. That's definitely what my wife said when she saw that. 01:05:32.450 --> 01:05:35.890 She said that match has already been used. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, I don't know why 01:05:35.970 --> 01:05:39.330 they do it that way, but you know, a little, little bit of tension as 01:05:39.410 --> 01:05:42.290 he lights the match. And is he gonna get it? Oh, he barely touched it. 01:05:42.790 --> 01:05:45.250 Don't breathe. Don't anybody breathe. And then it like starts to flicker, that little, 01:05:45.490 --> 01:05:48.930 that little flame. This last chance they have to save all of humanity is just 01:05:49.010 --> 01:05:52.750 on this one Match head. That's right. And now all 01:05:52.910 --> 01:05:56.270 the stones are opened, right? And we've got Leeloo in the middle, 01:05:56.670 --> 01:06:00.110 and what the fuck, isn't something supposed to happen? Yeah. 01:06:00.350 --> 01:06:04.110 And she's, uh, Korben's like, okay, it's time for you to wake up, it's time 01:06:04.610 --> 01:06:06.990 for you to work, you have to work, do your thing. She's like, I just 01:06:07.150 --> 01:06:10.190 am still really depressed from all that war stuff I saw on Encarta, 01:06:10.750 --> 01:06:13.630 and why should I save you fucks if you can't save yourselves? 01:06:14.510 --> 01:06:17.940 Like, I have a mission 01:06:18.260 --> 01:06:22.100 that I have to accomplish once every 5,000 years, but I'm 01:06:22.600 --> 01:06:26.100 not gonna. I'm taking a me day. 'Cause war sucks. 01:06:27.060 --> 01:06:30.500 I need to reflect on what I've learned. I need to 01:06:30.580 --> 01:06:34.580 really, like, I don't think it's worth it. Humanity clearly is 01:06:34.660 --> 01:06:37.780 sick. Like, she turns into fucking Agent Smith or whatever from The Matrix. 01:06:38.660 --> 01:06:41.860 Like, you know, you're clearly a parasite. You're not really a species. You're not a 01:06:41.940 --> 01:06:45.220 mammal. And then she's getting all in her own feelings where he's like, 01:06:45.720 --> 01:06:48.010 no, no, we need you. And she's like— There's some good things too. What good 01:06:48.510 --> 01:06:51.690 am I other than, other than saving the world? I bet you'll find another girlfriend 01:06:52.010 --> 01:06:56.570 as soon as you do. So it's, it's apparent that all Korben 01:06:56.650 --> 01:07:00.010 needs to do is say I love you to activate the switch that will save 01:07:00.410 --> 01:07:04.250 humanity, and he's just like struggling. Yeah, well, I got commitment issues here, 01:07:04.490 --> 01:07:08.170 baby. Uh, um, so the priests are kind of like egging him on, 01:07:08.250 --> 01:07:11.610 like, are you gonna do it? And during this time now, we have this countdown 01:07:11.930 --> 01:07:15.060 which has been, you know, to 3 minutes and 1 minute of when And then 01:07:15.140 --> 01:07:18.740 this giant thing, which is already what 01:07:19.060 --> 01:07:22.660 they said, 1,200 miles across or something ridiculous. It's like the size of the moon 01:07:22.820 --> 01:07:25.460 or something like that. Yeah. Flying at the Earth. 01:07:26.100 --> 01:07:29.940 And luckily he says, I love you, and the thing is stopped with like 1 01:07:30.180 --> 01:07:32.740 second left. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then you're still left with this thing hovering. 01:07:32.980 --> 01:07:35.780 Is that not gonna affect the tides? Like, that's gonna fuck everything up. 01:07:36.280 --> 01:07:39.140 It's a second moon. Right? It's now a second moon. That's terrible. Could you imagine 01:07:39.300 --> 01:07:43.300 what would've happened if it approached the Earth from the other side? Yeah. Luckily it 01:07:43.380 --> 01:07:47.010 came right over the top of that temple so that that perfect Perfectly straight beam 01:07:47.090 --> 01:07:50.770 of energy goes right into it. It couldn't have scooped around the Earth 01:07:50.930 --> 01:07:54.610 to hit it. How lucky. Yeah, that worked out really nice. And they say as 01:07:54.690 --> 01:07:58.290 it stops, they say it was 62 miles from impact. 01:07:59.090 --> 01:08:02.850 There's no way it's hovering 62 miles above the 01:08:02.930 --> 01:08:05.650 Earth. You know, I had a higher score for this movie when we started this 01:08:05.970 --> 01:08:09.650 conversation. So, so they saved the day. They saved 01:08:09.810 --> 01:08:13.550 the day, and this giant moon-sized body is just frozen 62 01:08:13.630 --> 01:08:16.910 miles above Earth with no future consequence, right? And, uh, 01:08:17.230 --> 01:08:20.350 and at the end of it, we've got, you know, 01:08:20.590 --> 01:08:24.350 okay, we're back and we're recovering. So the president and the generals is like, 01:08:24.430 --> 01:08:27.150 ah, great job, you know, never any doubt. And he's coming in the room, 01:08:27.550 --> 01:08:30.910 um, where's the hero? I need to talk to him. Oh, uh, they're actually still 01:08:31.150 --> 01:08:34.270 recovering in the recovery tube where she was built in the first place. 01:08:34.910 --> 01:08:37.630 And then the scientist goes and like looks in there, and then he's like, 01:08:37.980 --> 01:08:41.260 Whoa, uh, maybe we should give them a little bit of 01:08:41.340 --> 01:08:44.700 time because they're humping in there. Um, and it ends 01:08:44.860 --> 01:08:48.140 with the president like taking the phone call from Corbin Dallas's mom, 01:08:48.700 --> 01:08:51.980 and this terrible song is playing at the end of the movie. I don't know 01:08:52.060 --> 01:08:55.660 what it is, but it fucking sucks. And, uh, and it 01:08:55.820 --> 01:08:58.940 kind of— then we get like a distorted little look 01:08:59.260 --> 01:09:02.300 into the window where, uh, Leeloo and Corbin are getting it on. 01:09:03.180 --> 01:09:06.959 And, uh, and that's literally the last image of the entire movie. That's That's it. 01:09:07.119 --> 01:09:10.319 That's it for the 5th. I'm serious. I, 01:09:10.479 --> 01:09:13.199 I, I had a score in my mind. I always write down a score when 01:09:13.699 --> 01:09:15.519 I'm done watching a movie and I've taken my notes. I had a score and 01:09:16.019 --> 01:09:19.359 I'm— it's gonna be lower what I end up saying today because talking through this, 01:09:20.479 --> 01:09:24.159 I think I was giving it so much credit because 01:09:24.319 --> 01:09:27.439 I'd seen it before. Yeah. And so there were elements of it that I just 01:09:27.599 --> 01:09:29.839 accepted because I'd seen it before. But when I really think about it, like, 01:09:30.079 --> 01:09:33.439 fuck, there are some dumbass things that happen in this movie. Yeah, no, same with 01:09:33.939 --> 01:09:35.679 me. But here's the thing, this was your pick, so you should go first, 01:09:35.839 --> 01:09:39.619 Nic. You should let us know what you think. And you know, I'm apologizing to 01:09:39.699 --> 01:09:43.859 my 17, 18-year-old self and all my friends then. You guys aren't 01:09:44.359 --> 01:09:47.699 idiots. You guys aren't stupid. Uh, you guys just will learn a lot in 01:09:47.779 --> 01:09:50.899 your lives that make this movie look different to you when you get older. 01:09:51.619 --> 01:09:55.539 Uh, so I hadn't seen this in a decade, probably, maybe more. 01:09:55.779 --> 01:09:59.219 Yeah. Uh, but I had such fond memories of it. And like, in my head, 01:09:59.779 --> 01:10:02.979 the things I picture about this movie are, oh, the cool like future 01:10:03.299 --> 01:10:06.579 city where the cab is zooming through there. The lunchbox. And then this is like 01:10:07.079 --> 01:10:10.340 a great— yeah, really cool video visual. And then, um, and then 01:10:10.420 --> 01:10:14.900 we're in space on this opulent cruise ship thing and like crazy costumes, 01:10:14.980 --> 01:10:18.740 and that's really cool. And that's there, but that's not that much of the movie. 01:10:18.820 --> 01:10:21.940 Yeah. There's a lot of stuff that I feel like we get way too much 01:10:22.100 --> 01:10:25.060 of. The pig guys, yeah, we're seeing them too much. 01:10:26.260 --> 01:10:29.940 Just shapeshift and then be the shapeshifted guy that kind of looks like former, 01:10:30.180 --> 01:10:33.540 uh, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper. He did. That's one of the guys that he 01:10:33.620 --> 01:10:36.800 looked Yeah. Uh, he had small hands though, so he tended to fumble 01:10:36.880 --> 01:10:39.520 those giant weapons, uh, often. Um, 01:10:40.160 --> 01:10:43.680 so that I didn't like. Like you said, the, the building of 01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:47.200 the world without paying enough of it off. It's like you're giving us all this 01:10:47.440 --> 01:10:51.040 background of this ancient stuff. Like, the whole beginning sequence with Luke Perry was 01:10:51.120 --> 01:10:54.480 a big chunk of the movie, and then for the, the result 01:10:54.720 --> 01:10:58.160 to be we create this thing and she learns how terrible 01:10:58.640 --> 01:11:01.940 war is and how terrible people is But I'm gonna go ahead and save this 01:11:02.260 --> 01:11:06.180 society, and we're not gonna learn anything. There's not really any commentary on 01:11:06.260 --> 01:11:09.700 like what a fucking hellscape the world has become. Everyone's just kind of 01:11:09.780 --> 01:11:13.140 fine with it. But I mean, as far as like problems that we have 01:11:13.300 --> 01:11:16.740 and like disparity in the lifestyle of different human beings that are living 01:11:16.900 --> 01:11:20.180 on the planet would be fucking crazy. Like the people in Floss in Paradise 01:11:20.500 --> 01:11:23.860 versus whoever lives in the fog. Oh yeah, I'm interested in that. 01:11:24.180 --> 01:11:28.100 And Luc Besson was just smoking a cigarette, riding a bicycle with 01:11:28.600 --> 01:11:29.650 a baguette under his arm, saying. Oh, 01:11:31.650 --> 01:11:35.810 c'est quoi? Um, so it 01:11:35.890 --> 01:11:41.650 is hard to give this a high rating, and I think I 01:11:41.730 --> 01:11:45.250 hate to do this, but Fifth Element is just a two out 01:11:45.750 --> 01:11:48.530 of five. Okay. I I didn't. I was a little disappointed, 01:11:48.930 --> 01:11:51.890 and it was long. I mean, there are parts of it that are entertaining, 01:11:51.970 --> 01:11:55.090 but as far as tying this shit together, I don't think he did that for. 01:11:55.660 --> 01:11:59.020 Yeah, very, very fair points you make altogether. And I think I had 01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:01.420 a very similar— and I kind of got to it just before you gave your 01:12:01.500 --> 01:12:04.940 thing, right? But like, I remember liking so much of this movie. Like I said, 01:12:05.020 --> 01:12:07.100 when I first saw it, I just thought it was weird. But like, I also, 01:12:07.340 --> 01:12:11.420 at like 17, wasn't into weird stuff. I've gotten more into like absurdist comedy 01:12:11.740 --> 01:12:14.780 and sort of fantastical, whimsical sort of plotlines and different things 01:12:14.940 --> 01:12:17.900 over time. And so, you know, in a lot of ways I thought to myself, 01:12:18.400 --> 01:12:20.540 oh, this is probably more up my alley now than it was, you know, 01:12:20.790 --> 01:12:24.150 Then. And I think the problem is, is that not enough of it 01:12:24.230 --> 01:12:27.750 really works, is the problem. Like, it— you 01:12:27.830 --> 01:12:29.990 talk about like all this sort of backstory we get and all this sort of 01:12:30.490 --> 01:12:33.510 like information stuff, and my problem is actually that we get so little. There's so 01:12:33.670 --> 01:12:36.950 little that gets explained or understood or whatever, and we 01:12:37.030 --> 01:12:40.230 just sort of like have to accept it. And look, you can't ask a 01:12:40.310 --> 01:12:43.430 movie to give you all the backstory necessary for all these things. 01:12:43.990 --> 01:12:46.790 So it either has to like have a much less— a much simpler plot. 01:12:46.870 --> 01:12:50.070 Yeah. or you need it to be like a fucking TV series or something. 01:12:50.570 --> 01:12:54.230 You know what I mean? Like, this could have been an 8-hour-long, 8-episode limited series 01:12:54.470 --> 01:12:56.470 and probably made a hell of a lot more sense. Explained some more stuff. 01:12:56.630 --> 01:12:59.510 Well, and your points about Blade Runner, which is a movie that does an excellent 01:12:59.830 --> 01:13:02.310 job of explaining the world that current— that exists. 01:13:02.870 --> 01:13:05.750 It's like, this didn't— it didn't do any of that stuff. Total Recall. 01:13:06.150 --> 01:13:09.430 Yeah. Tells us so much about the existence of people in the world 01:13:09.590 --> 01:13:12.870 at the time, and it's just better in so many ways than 01:13:13.370 --> 01:13:16.230 the way this approaches its world-building. So there's that, and then it's like the whimsy 01:13:16.730 --> 01:13:18.870 and craziness is like fun in a lot of ways, but it also gets tiring. 01:13:19.370 --> 01:13:21.650 I agree with you that the pig characters are just like, yeah, we see way 01:13:21.730 --> 01:13:25.490 too much of these fucking weird rubber masks the whole time. Does HD— 01:13:25.890 --> 01:13:28.610 I think we might have talked about this before, but the fact that I have 01:13:28.690 --> 01:13:31.890 like a, you know, right, 70-inch HDTV at my house, 01:13:32.370 --> 01:13:35.890 does that make me like this less when I was watching it on a 19-inch 01:13:36.050 --> 01:13:40.050 like TV CRT with a VHS? Because you're not noticing the limitations 01:13:40.290 --> 01:13:44.050 of some of these practical effects as much. But maybe. But I'll say I watched 01:13:44.130 --> 01:13:48.080 it on a 12-inch iPad, so yeah. Yeah, didn't really help. Better resolution 01:13:48.320 --> 01:13:51.440 than my old Zenith, but still didn't really help. 01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:54.000 So yeah, I you know, and like I said, I had come in with with 01:13:54.500 --> 01:13:56.800 a thought of a score that wasn't like a high score, but was like you 01:13:57.300 --> 01:13:59.920 know a tepid thumbs up sort of thing. And I don't think I can stick 01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:02.560 with that now. Like after talking it through with you, it's like this movie's a 01:14:02.720 --> 01:14:06.000 mess. So much of it is just a mess. And actually, I think I think 01:14:06.500 --> 01:14:08.400 I'm right where you are. I think I'm at a two. I don't think it's 01:14:08.900 --> 01:14:11.120 worse than that because there are elements of it that are fun and interesting. 01:14:11.840 --> 01:14:14.880 There are still parts of it that like you know like Lilo dales multipas. 01:14:14.960 --> 01:14:17.360 Like there's little things that always kind of stick with me. Some moments for sure. 01:14:17.440 --> 01:14:21.180 But man, this is not. a good movie. Yeah, it's just not. So that 01:14:21.340 --> 01:14:23.580 makes it 4 out of 10. I was surprised at the ratings that we saw 01:14:23.660 --> 01:14:26.380 at the beginning. Yeah, the 2 thumbs up from Siskel and Ebert in retrospect is 01:14:26.460 --> 01:14:29.900 like interesting. I think they really loved Luc Besson and really wanted to 01:14:29.980 --> 01:14:33.180 like— this feels avant-garde in some ways, and I 01:14:33.260 --> 01:14:36.940 think that that grabbed a lot of people. But yeah, I— so the dads 01:14:37.440 --> 01:14:39.180 are a 4 out of 10 on The Fifth Element. If you disagree with us, 01:14:39.500 --> 01:14:42.860 you can email us at you'rewrong@2dads1movie.com. 01:14:42.940 --> 01:14:46.490 No, just actually the real email The show at twodads1movie.com. 01:14:46.730 --> 01:14:49.530 You can send us your notes. You can absolutely send us your— Yeah, please do. 01:14:49.610 --> 01:14:52.490 I know there's a lot of fans of this movie out there. Absolutely. And, 01:14:52.650 --> 01:14:55.850 uh, you know, if there's something deeper that you think we're missing, then, uh, 01:14:56.010 --> 01:14:58.970 go ahead and invent it and tell us. Yeah, I actually worry that— or I 01:14:59.210 --> 01:15:02.650 would be more interested in what's not deep that I'm missing. What's the sh— what's 01:15:03.150 --> 01:15:05.690 the surface-level thing that went past me that would have explained some of this shit? 01:15:06.170 --> 01:15:09.210 Uh, anyway, that is, uh, what we've come to on The Fifth 01:15:09.370 --> 01:15:12.410 Element. And, uh, I think that makes it my pick for next week. Yeah, 01:15:12.730 --> 01:15:16.250 yeah. What do we got coming up, Steve? We're going to shift tonal gears significantly. 01:15:16.750 --> 01:15:20.310 Significantly and not only head back to the '80s and not the '90s, 01:15:20.630 --> 01:15:24.550 but we're going to a much more sort of traditional comedy, 01:15:24.870 --> 01:15:28.390 a very, very '80s style comedy. This is a movie 01:15:28.790 --> 01:15:32.070 that I have introduced many people to in my life. I knew, 01:15:32.150 --> 01:15:34.070 I know a lot of people growing up, like my wife had never seen this 01:15:34.230 --> 01:15:37.590 before we got together. And definitely some people, I know a lot of people who'd 01:15:38.090 --> 01:15:40.790 not ever seen it. And it's one of those movies that like I adore. 01:15:41.030 --> 01:15:44.370 Like it's like, there's a lot of things online you'll sometimes about, you know, 01:15:44.450 --> 01:15:47.490 millennials in particular, and we're sort of, you know, the very oldest part of that 01:15:47.730 --> 01:15:51.410 generation. You know, there's something about that one movie your 01:15:51.490 --> 01:15:54.130 family had on VHS that you watched the shit out of. It doesn't matter if 01:15:54.630 --> 01:15:57.570 it's a good one or not, it was yours. Yep. And that was— there are 01:15:58.070 --> 01:16:01.170 2 movies that really tick that box for me. One of them is Iron Eagle, 01:16:01.490 --> 01:16:04.770 which we will watch at some point for sure, uh, even if it is jingoist 01:16:05.010 --> 01:16:08.610 propaganda. I love Lou Gossett though. You absolutely do. This one's 01:16:09.110 --> 01:16:12.620 the other one. And it's John Candy. And it is, he plays an air traffic 01:16:12.940 --> 01:16:17.100 controller taking his family on vacation to Florida where he runs into Richard Crenna, 01:16:17.740 --> 01:16:21.100 who is the awful, just terrible Captain Al 01:16:21.340 --> 01:16:24.700 Pele. Rip Torn is in this playing essentially a modern-day pirate. 01:16:25.020 --> 01:16:28.380 The movie is Summer Rental and it's just so much fun. 01:16:29.180 --> 01:16:32.700 But I'm fully accepting, dude, we're going to go into this next week 01:16:32.780 --> 01:16:35.180 when we talk about this movie and I'm going to like it more than you 01:16:35.260 --> 01:16:38.170 are. I don't know if that's for sure, but I love this movie. Uh, 01:16:38.670 --> 01:16:41.370 have you ever seen Summer Rental? I have, I have seen it, and definitely not 01:16:41.530 --> 01:16:45.290 as much as it's probably more well-known, very similar movie The Great Outdoors, 01:16:45.530 --> 01:16:48.170 right? That was like— but I've definitely seen Summer Rental, 01:16:48.490 --> 01:16:52.330 and I can't imagine being mad at a John Candy movie. So there's that. 01:16:52.830 --> 01:16:55.210 I'm ready to sit back and enjoy it. Might not fulfill all of my art 01:16:55.370 --> 01:16:58.250 film expectations, but I think there's no way it's not going to be fun. 01:16:58.330 --> 01:17:01.700 I love John Candy. I love it. It also has One of the 01:17:01.780 --> 01:17:05.300 few actually good Jimmy Buffett songs in it that you can't find anywhere. 01:17:06.020 --> 01:17:09.060 There is a there is a montage in Summer Rental backed by a Jimmy Buffett 01:17:09.140 --> 01:17:12.580 song that is not released on any Jimmy Buffett records ever. Was only released 01:17:12.740 --> 01:17:16.260 on the soundtrack for Summer Rental, which does not exist on Spotify or Apple Music 01:17:16.420 --> 01:17:19.780 or anywhere else. It is the hardest to find Jimmy Buffett song ever, and it's 01:17:20.280 --> 01:17:22.900 a decent song, which I am not a fan. So that is not. I don't 01:17:23.400 --> 01:17:25.780 like Cheeseburger in Paradise and Margaritaville and shit, but it's called Turn It Around, 01:17:25.860 --> 01:17:29.390 and it's actually a pretty. Legit, like, '80s montage banger, which we will get to. 01:17:29.630 --> 01:17:32.670 We'll definitely talk about next week. That's a wrap.
