0:05 So, there's a funny thing that happens with certain movie recommendations. Sometimes you feel like you're too late to watch something because the wave of excitement around it has already passed. So, you know, you might see it way later than everybody. But what are some movies that you've seen lately that you saw probably the last of everybody you know, you're the one to watch it now and you ████ loved it. >> Go ahead, Bart. >> The whole Harry Potter series. Pretty sick. >> This is a prop just for you. >> I didn't watch any of it at all. >> I've never seen any like I've only seen like the couple >> Wait, you never seen any? >> I've never seen a single one, bro. >> I saw like three two or three of them, but then they got too much. >> good. >> you watched it, did you watch it where it was also Tykus' first time and you're watching it together? >> Yeah, I think that's what made it really good. >> So, you get to enjoy it literally as a

0:55 first with each other, father-son. >> Yeah, cuz it was it was like you know how like movies, TV shows, they're either for kids or they're for adults. And it's really hard to do something that like hits it for both. And for Christmas break, we're like, "Oh, you know what? We're going to be home a bunch. Let's try to like let's watch Harry Potter and see how it is." And it had that same like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad effect where right after you're done with that one, we want to watch the next one. But we're trying to like purposely draw it out throughout the whole break. So, we made it like a nightly routine every single night where we're going to go and then we're going to watch it and we watched the whole thing and we would like discuss what happened. Oh, like and there's like all this like lore that's like woven into it, you know? Where like good guys look like bad guys in the beginning, bad guys look like good guys and it's like and there's like a whole like eight eight movie saga.

1:45 >> there's eight total? >> Eight total. >> Watched it one night at a time all in succession. >> Yeah, cuz I think it's supposed to be seven books, but I think the seventh book turned into eight movies cuz like had like part A and part B. >> Okay. >> Yeah, it was hella good. >> Damn, so you're hurt you're you're like on the Harry Potter train. >> Yeah, on now. >> What's your house? What's your house? What house are you in? >> Myself? >> Yeah. >> Probably Gryffindor. Do you guys know what that is? >> You're ████ gay, dude. I was going to test your gayness. Everyone knows you're gay now, dude. >> Dude, now he's going to ████ give me a wedgie, dude. He's going to ████ pants He's going to pants me now. >> Dude, remember I told you guys recently that I I don't know how this flew under my radar for so long, but last week for the first time ever I saw Big Trouble in Little China. >> Wait, that was your first time? >> First time, bro. >> it was like

2:35 >> You watched it again since childhood. >> No, I never saw it. And I And it blew my mind, dude. It was so good. >> Oh my god, Lo Pan. >> I thought that would have been something you watched like for sure. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Same. >> Wow. >> See, and I like I would see the title every now and then I'm like, I should watch that. I should watch that. ████ 20 years later, you know what I mean? And I finally sat down and just like by myself and just cracked a Pepsi Zero, watched it, and I afterwards I was like, dude, how did I miss this? I would have lived my life based on this. >> um not allowed to watch it as a kid? >> No, it just never came up. Yeah, it just wasn't around. You know like sometimes it just flies under, you know? And I dude, that is a movie that like I highly recommend that if you're into campy ████ that is like as an adult that Those

3:25 movies are hard to come by now. So, if you get to watch that and it's like an undiscovered unopened box in your life, open that. Oh, dude. >> We were on an airplane going to Cleveland and we watched The Departed. >> Yeah. >> For the first time? >> It wasn't our first time. It was like Tiff's second time. It was like my seventh time watching it. >> had just seen The Departed. >> And no way. >> So >> So good. >> at the end she just like there's a big like twist and turn or whatever that happens. There's a big reveal, and I just see freak out like, "What the f███?" Like she said the plate where she's flipping out. >> There's a big twist in there. >> Is it the elevator scene? >> No, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't think it's that. But anyways, there's a big twist, and then we start talking about like we start watching like, "Hey, you know movies we should watch?" We then we started watching Goodfellas. >> Oh, Scorsese. >> It was my first time watching Goodfellas from the beginning to the end cuz I would always see like parts of it.

4:15 >> Oh, that one's a gem. >> Hella good. And then >> Goodfellas? >> Okay. >> Ever since I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a gangster. >> we watched Heat. Oh, for the first time. Heat is a banger. >> All in a row? God damn, dude. >> saw we saw two of them on the plane, and then we watched Heat when we got home. >> So she likes uh mafia movies? >> Yeah, she likes all that ████ >> How about Casino? That's the next one. >> Hey, Casino's great. >> one. I I Casino's another one I've watched like bits and pieces, but never all the way through. So uh >> How do you watch it by bits and pieces? >> It was always on TV, you know, and then like you catch like one part of the end and then you kind of like put together what's up. But then what do you Yeah, what do you Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or TNT, we know the we know the drama. Uh whatever the ████ But like when you watch it all the way through when

5:05 nothing's bothering you and you're locked in, especially on a plane, like you're just locked in. It's just the you forget how good some of these movies are, man. >> Yo. >> How they used to make movies, how intentional it was, like Like you could tell Heat was a blockbuster. And then there's a There's a scene in Heat where Al Pacino says, "Look at that ass on that woman." Or whatever like that. And people would always make a reference to like that as a joke of like Al Pacino like reference. And then watching in the movie, you're like, this is so weird and so out of place for him to say, "Look at that ass." And you're just like, what the ████ Who is this guy? >> Lived a moment? >> It might have been, but it made the final cut. And it just was like cuz he's supposed to be a detective in the film. And he just he looks at a chick and he's like, "Look at that ass on that one." It's not like a clue to anything. Yeah, you're just like, that was weird. That

5:56 was like I've always heard that reference and you see it in this movie and you're like, "Okay, Al Pacino's kind of a crazy guy." >> If you If you watch Heat though, you know where the beginning of Dark Knight came from. >> Yeah. >> Like the soundtrack of like the bad guys killing bad guys. Just the intensity of like the whole heist in the beginning. It's like it's a huge like homage to Heat. >> Another movie I saw lately which is like very old and not a lot of people would even care to watch it. It's called Havoc. >> Havoc? >> With a C at the end. So it's ████ It's not a great movie, but it's interesting because it's the movie where like Anne Hathaway like says the N-word. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. But the plot's interesting. It's about Pacific Palisades white wannabe gangsters getting in trouble with like East LA cholos. >> Malibu's Most Wanted? >> No, but it's not a comedy. It's kind of

6:46 in the frame of Kids. You know the movie Kids? You ever seen that movie? >> Yeah. >> So it's kind of like that where it feels really real. Yeah, so it's like it's these like Pacific Palisades white kids and they kind of want to get some adventure. So they go to East LA to ████ with some cholos and then the ████ just escalates. But for some reason it's like they really turn up the like I guess the the wigga to this movie. So Anne Hathaway just keeps saying the N-word. >> She a little gangster in that one? >> Yeah, she's a little ████ >> Oh, okay. I'm going to watch this. >> She's the main >> Tim Timberlake? >> No, that's I think that's um >> Where they jack stuff from that house and or that's something else? >> You might be You might be thinking of Alpha Dog. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah, which is another good movie. >> Oh, I recently watched Speed. With Keanu

7:36 Reeves. >> Still holds up, huh? >> I'm like, dude, that guy's a really good actor actually. >> That movie is so good. The whole movie. >> The whole movie. The second one is even better. >> showed Is it actually even better? >> No, it's pretty good though. >> No Keanu Reeves not even in the second one, is he? >> Yeah, he is. >> Yes? I didn't watch it then. >> I I showed it to Smack who hadn't watched it and she loved it. >> It's so good, dude. >> good. That's another movie we watched over pandemic and we were like, "Oh my god, this movie is so good." >> really good movie. >> It was The way I was watching I was like, "Man, the writing's good, the plot's good." >> The stunts are good. >> are hella good. And I'm like, "This is This almost reminds me of like um a non-commercial Michael Bay." >> Yeah. >> Like you know the way it was shot like with the music and I was like, "What the hell? This is This is sick." >> That is true. >> Yeah, it was insane. It was really really >> Who directed that again? >> I think some French dude. Cuz as soon as cuz I was watching the whole time I was

8:26 like, "Is this Michael Bay's first thing before he went mainstream?" And I could And I I looked it up but I think it was like some French guy. >> Oh, you know which You know what I want to get into because everyone keeps saying it's so good and I've never seen one full episode is Sopranos. >> Oh! Oh my god! >> Is that the one >> You didn't see Sopranos? >> So like everybody says like, "Oh yeah, if you like Goodfellas, if you like Heat, if you like Scorsese's and all that stuff, Sopranos is It's not Scorsese, but like they say it's like up there, right? >> That world but early 2000s television. >> I've seen so many clips of it because they always make shorts out of it. >> Yeah, same. >> Right, yeah, you see it, right? Yeah, that's why I know all the characters and ████ but I've never watched the show. You seen it beginning to end every episode? >> ████ end, bro. >> Well, that's a lot.

9:16 >> Yeah, but I I watched it in like 2009. >> Oh, okay. >> I still need to watch it. >> But like, you know what though? I feel like it's one of those things that I don't know if it'll be as good because that was one of the first of long-form TV. So they still had commercial breaks, they still had filler episodes. >> Oh, I see. I see. It's like Breaking Bad. Like Breaking Bad was ████ great, >> Yeah. >> but there's so much better now. >> I could look past it though cuz I get I I take the time into consideration too. When something was released, >> it was so next level. Like if you like any crime drama, and if you like Scorsese, it takes that world but modern. >> Wow. >> Like modern as in like it was appropriate for the time. You're not looking at like um you know, like No, you're looking at like that was the era

10:06 and you're watching it real time and the crazy ████ about it is the Jersey Mafia was literally like two blocks away from these guys. And some of the ████ that they would do, it would show up on the show. So they started thinking that there was a ████ rat within their gang that was leaking information to the producers >> To make it >> and there was in-fighting. >> Wow. >> Yeah. >> Oh, that's interesting. >> And in the way they found out is because they're being wiretapped by the FBI. And the FBI would just listen in to their conversation. >> Dude, I might invest the time and just start watching it. >> Dude, there's just so much with that show and the behind the scenes and everything that oh my god, I think if yeah, if you have to invest time in a show, Sopranos is one. >> I don't think so because there's also spin-off characters from that show that ended up making their own shows and

10:56 stuff. >> Oh, really? I didn't know that. >> But yeah, it's like if you've seen any Scorsese films, you'll start to feel like some typecasted characters from there. >> that. There are a lot of >> Or in The Sopranos, yeah. >> Some of them. Have you guys ever seen the movie Above the Rim? >> Yeah. Dude, I watched that for >> The white the Wesley Snipes and the white guy? >> No, that's >> No, no, I I can't jump yet. Never mind. >> Above the Rim is like another one of those hood movies, but it's like centered around basketball. But I I watched that for the first time last week and it was really good. >> What was the occasion where you started watching Who's in that by the >> I don't know. Just whenever I sit down and watch a movie, I'd rather I'm trying to fight my nostalgia and instead of going to the same old ████ I need to like put something new in my brain, you know? Cuz if if it's up to me, I'll always pick the same old ████ >> Me too. >> Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to force my way out. >> like new stuff and she's down to explore. >> Oh. >> There's no like guns or muscles on the

11:47 cover I'm going to watch. >> That's so ████ gay. >> Did you watch all the Expendables? >> Probably. >> Oh, okay. >> That's too much guns and muscle though. >> You know what? >> She's like, "Dude, what is this?" >> So Taika watched Kickboxer 1 >> Then you got it to Kickboxer 2 and then Kickboxer 3 and then Kickboxer By the time By the then it's Kickboxer 4 now, right? There's this one scene where it's one dude with like two chicks and then they're having a threesome, right? And then we try not to be like our era Asian parents where they're like, "Oh, well and we try to make it like normalize it." And then uh Taika was like "What Why are they keeping sweatier and sweatier and sweatier and sweatier? They keep getting sweatier and sweatier." And then after >> What they're doing? >> No. And then and then he cuz like they're just like rubbing on each other and like, "Whoa, she's crazy. She's crazy." And then afterwards we're like >> She's good. >> We're like, "Maybe

12:37 >> Quiet through the the whole scene? >> Try not to laugh, probably. Yeah, we just try We try to like not be like that. And then we're like uh "Okay, maybe no Kickboxer 4." Cuz it's >> deal you make out of it, the more it'll stick in his head like that's something to remember, right? >> By the By the time you get to Kickboxer 4, it's like the Fast and Furious effect where Tong Po is running an international drug cartel. It's crazy. The storyline is Yeah, the storyline is nuts. >> Who's the Kickboxer guy then? Like who's the main character by this Kickboxer? >> It's not Van Damme anymore. >> No, it's not Van Damme. >> Adkins? >> No, not even close. I wish it was. Some weird guy that like talks like he has a surfer accent. Like, "Oh, your brother died. You have to avenge his life. No, not him." Like that. And I'm like, "Why the ████ is this guy going to go fight Tong Po?" And he's coming from Orange County.

13:27 >> Is it Bill Hader. >> And then yeah yeah and the way he fights Tom Poe it doesn't even look like he can beat him. Like he fight he fights kind of like the way he talks. Like yeah, I'm going to ████ you up, bro. >> That's got to be some form of nepotism how he ended up that role. >> Yeah, it's weird. >> that he's just the cheapest guy they could get. >> Yeah, and Tom Poe is the same same dude. >> Same guy, yeah. Isn't that funny? >> series called Crash Landing on You. It's a K-drama and basically bro, like there was a time when I would joke around about how like I'm going to sneak it to North Korea and I'm going to fall in love with Kim Jong Un's sister. And then like during that time a lot of our fans would Photoshop me with her and all this stuff. And I didn't know that was actually a plot to a K-drama. That's why they thought it was so funny. >> Oh.

14:18 >> So then >> So that's what he was. >> So it was a reference the whole time. And then so yes, so I was So So the other day I was on Netflix cuz I was ████ sick. I couldn't go anywhere.
