0:00 I wish I had more time and he walks away. Guess what? Wish you had more time. Blows up. Guy blows up from What movie? Man on fire. Be thinking the whole time. Who's is going to have the Okay, so yesterday we were talking a little bit, had a little sidebar conversation I thought was pretty interesting. How do we feel about Denzel Washington? Like, is he the greatest actor of his generation? I think he's my favorite actor of his generation. He's mine, too. Really? He's your top. He's my number one. Yeah. I'll say it as much as I try I don't actively seek out Denzel Washington movies, but all the movies I end up watching over and over again tend to be Denzel Washington. You know, like the ones where I'm like, "Oh, dude, this dude is so good as this role." Or what was the last one? Like
0:52 Glad Man on Fire. Man on Fire is We've watched that. That's what got me into Denzel part. Yeah, Man on Fire is really good. Obviously, Training Day. Um but and I I I really I don't want to like these Equalizer movies. I don't know why. That recent one. Yeah, bro. I just keep watching. They're bad. Well, it's just like cuz you know what you're going to get with it. It's the same like, oh, he's one man that can't be stopped and he's once you once you get him turning, he won't stop and he's going to kill everybody. And you know how that goes. And then sometimes I watch it, I'm like, first one's tight though, dude. When he's doing the ████ with the watch, he's like doing clicking his watch around, I'm like, "Oh my god, this movie is sick." No, but when he goes like this though, that was tight, too. Like American Gangster will just Oh yeah, Pacers one. Pacers one. So good. American Gangster was good. I feel
1:44 like there's very few people in Hollywood that still have that old style um trait where if they're on the bill, it's a good movie. That's exactly what I was going to say because it's like he he knows how to pick them. He he just doesn't around and he knows how to pick like Jason. But isn't that isn't that what made isn't that what made like a movie star though is because you became the brand and they're like, "Oh, it's a Denzel movie. They trusted the star that the movie would be good. That they wouldn't waste You would trust that the star wouldn't take on that role if it wasn't going to be good. Tom Cruz for me. Tom Cruz for me. I know he's going to work his ass off in the movie and it's always going to be something sick. I just saw Mission Impossible last night, by the way. Did you? Yeah. Did you like it? Uh, as a Mission Impossible fan, I think it's like the the first half is so much
2:35 exposition and dialogue, and then the second half, the action, you're like, damn, this fool is so good at this. Yeah. So good at like the entire time you're like Jesus. And you know it's real stunts. It's not like when you're doing Fast and Furious that's also on the same level of like ridiculous. But just knowing that he's doing the stunt makes you go okay there's a reality to this that's like uncanny. Mhm. Did you see when he was throwing away all those motorcycles on that jump? Yeah. Like eight of them or something like that? I was like he's actually riding that ████ I actually respect Denzel also because of that thing he said where um he was like people were asking him or something like how come you're not on social media and he was like oh yeah yeah I know what you're talking about like why would people pay to see you on a weekend if they can see you all week for free I did hear that who else is really doing that on purpose he was telling that to
3:26 Michael B Jordan yeah like what other what other mega star is truly like preserving themselves in that exact way there's probably a few but his you can definitely see it cuz you don't know anything really about him besides like the last movie you saw of him and that and your only memory is that he's amazing. Oh, when he's talking about like uh I don't remember the exact context but he's talking about somebody's interviewing him asking him about like a certain type of director like like of a certain color directing a colored uh type of picture and he's like it's not a color thing it's a culture thing and then he goes off the hot comb. Yeah. Yeah. talking about the hot comb and you're just like, "Man, this world knows what's up." He's articulate enough. Yeah. And you believe him. I always believe him. Yeah. He even did this movie I didn't really like that much. It was like a play recently like a couple years back. Oh. Uh I know what
4:17 you're talking about. Huh? Do they know? It's not. It's a fellow. No. No. But I didn't really didn't like it. Was it Hamlet? But every time every time he's on screen, I liked it, but then I just couldn't. He did a live play. No, it was like a movie, but it was like of a play. like a play. I see. It didn't really work for me. I couldn't finish that one. I'm not going either. I couldn't either. I mean, aside from him though, I don't know. Like McBth. McBth. Yeah. Like if if someone were like, "Oh, this a Tom Hardy movie." Like, wouldn't people go and go, "Oh, yeah, that's it's going to be a decent movie." Or like No, cuz the Venom I think ruined Doom, right? Venom cancelled that. Did you see uh Tom Hardy's movie on Netflix? It was like uh I did see it actually. Did did you Were you able to get through it or did you kind of stop? I got through it. But like Netflix like you you put on a different you didn't you already paid for everything that's on there. So you put on a different lens of like judgment. You just kind of want
5:07 like brain rot entertainment sitting on your couch. So I got through it but it wasn't great. Tom Yeah. I feel bad about Tom Hardy right now cuz I love Tom Hardy. Well I like Tom Hardy just fine. But um when I heard that he was addicted George Miller when they were doing um Mad Max, I was like whoa. Yeah. Apparently, he was a huge ████ to him because they were shooting in the desert and stuff. So, it was like a really intense shoot and and I guess he kept confronting him cuz he's like, "This is going to be so s█████. This is going to destroy my career." About just this, right? Legit, dude. And and and then he's at the film festival where they they premiered it for the first time and he walked up to George Miller and was like, "Dude, I'm sorry. I was a dick." A lot. That's how a lot of people that happened with a lot of people. Why? Because it's such a hard movie to film. Everyone's going to have Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone had like a horrible time, but then by the end of it and they saw the product, it was like ████ worth
5:57 it. Fury Road was unbelievable. Wait, so Mel Gibson was a ████ dick face. No, no, no, no. We're talking about Tom Hardy. I'm talking about the new gen Mad Max. Oh, Mel Gibson. I forgot he was Mad Max, dude. I'm saying like the brand. Everyone that films it hates it like from the beginning. That's why they made like a whole dock about people's experiences of filming. It was like a It was probably the hardest thing to actually do because so much of it was real. Oh ████ And the places they were at real. Like you can't in the desert like really shooting all this stuff. Really like roughing it. Crazy. I mean, whose decision was it to put like ████ nipple chains on that dude and that style? It was crazy. But then I heard But then I heard that the reason why he did Furiosa is cuz he didn't want to work with Hardy again cuz really that's what I heard. I don't know. Damn. I thought it was some woke ████ Cuz it it's like at that era, you know, everything was becoming like let's just
6:48 put a female. Yeah, true. Well, the first one does end kind of showing you that there's more story for both. Oh, yeah. I wish they kept that going, but like I didn't need to see a prequel of it at all. Oh, you didn't you didn't enjoy it as much? No, I didn't see it. I I definitely think they're not comparable. Like obviously the first one's ████ a masterpiece. Second one's a nice addendum, but I wouldn't call it It's a nice addendum, and it's it's it's really nice wrapped up at the very very end to see how it ties in. Yeah. You know, you know what I wanted to see is um you know the the the lost kids if they created like a future where are they now? Because the theory is also like those those ████ um skull guys are actually the lost kids. Oh, okay. What's the lost kids? The lost boys. No, he's talking about Mad Max. Like the kids remember in Thunderdome and like Okay. Do have you seen the other ones? Oh, you're talking about the first gen Mad Max. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
7:40 Like there's like You want to see those connected? You mean? Yeah. And there are like there's like one boy that looks like those uh skull boys. Um but but there regarded as different universes, right? Yeah. He doesn't I I I don't think he ever connected the two other than the other than in like on the outside of it. When you say school bus, you talking about witness me? Yeah. There's like a boy painted like that early on in in like the in the OG man. But I thought the timeline was like the world gets crazier the more settled they are. Like the first vers first Mad Max happens like right after right when it starts out. Yeah. So people are still kind of normal but they get madder as time goes. Mhm. Yeah. Super Mad Max. Maxed out mad. Hey, hold on. Bring it back to Denzel, dude. Hey, Sleeper
8:31 Denzel movies. All right. I'm saying sleeper. I'm not talking I'm not talking about you know like your John Q's and your training days and your remember the Titans really good too flight was tight dude played really good and John Goodman's good in that movie dude flight just that moment when he walks away and then he comes back and grabs that bottle I remember like oh and they play that we're feeling all right after he does a bump of cocaine so sick dude that's so good and they even they even like you know how they they cranked the shot so that he's taking it up he takes the line of cocaine off the desk and the camera's like right there for the like him coming up from it. It's such a great shot. Is John Q considered a sleeper or no? I don't think so cuz it was I think everyone knows John. Everybody knows that right now. That thing that that movie is amazing. Everybody loved Unstoppable. I loved Unstoppable. I love that movie.
9:22 It was a train that couldn't be stopped and it was Was that Mallet? Chris Pine. No, no, it was I think it was Tony Scott and he was the train director and he's like Chris Pine you got to do this and he was like telling him he was a director Scott movie. I think I'm pretty sure I think it was Tony Scott. They kept saying that it's it's going down the whole movie. Why am I thinking of Pelum 123? That was also fun. That slept on. Also fun. I feel like there were so many movies where he was like a like like a host. Yeah, he's like he's like the guy that's mediating the stress. Inside Man too was kind of like that, right? Man is such a bomb movie. What's that? No, that's a good movie. Oh my god, that's one of the best movies ever Owen. Who's that? Yeah. Who's that? Who are you? Actually, it's actually the most unspike Lee movie that he's ever made. It's really good. Wait,
10:12 this is a Spike Lee movie. But it's the most You wouldn't know if you watched it and nobody told you who directed it. Inside man. Inside man. I'm not going to spoil it. I'm not Bro, the Bone Collector Bone Collector was Bone Collector, bro. Bone Collector's tight, dude. Inside Man, you if you watch one of them, watch In. Oh, you're thinking of Lovely Bones. That's why you think it's tight. Lovely Bones. cleanser. All I can remember Wait, you didn't watch it? I didn't see it.

I didn't even know he was in there. He got gay. He was the dad. I didn't even remember that. So Ray Allen is, you know, it's his story and then like his dad was like the incarcerated former player and he's like, "Don't follow in my footsteps." And it was Denzel and that role like hit you. It was just a cool cameo. It was just like like you didn't expect it. Yeah. But he killed it and just a whole another type of role. Did you see that behind the scenes clip where like scriptwise he wasn't supposed to score at all against Ray Allen, but then Denzel for real playing. Right. Right. Right. Falling on it. No way. That's sick. That's dope. off. Dude, I remember seeing this in high school in like our history class. But Glory, you
11:56 ever see Glory? I didn't see Glory. I watched it in high school, too. I would never watch it again, but I remember after watching it as like a high schooler, I was like, "Yo, this movie is sick." And and Denzel was really good in that movie, but it's really like you definitely wouldn't just turn it on and watch it. If you watch that movie, you're going to have a bad day for Yeah. Yeah. It's a bummer. Oh, have you seen Have you ever seen The Hurricane? I thought that was a good movie. I didn't see it. Seen Hurricane. It's about a real guy that went to prison for like uh for a murder that was kind of staged around him. I heard about it. A boxer. I might have seen it. ████ That's not I think he like got nominated or maybe won for it. It was a big Yeah, it was a big thing. You know what movie ████ sucked from Denzo? It was uh Pretty Little Li Pretty Little Lies. The way you delivered that, dude. Oh, actually, that movie I wanted that to be so for and that was during the pandemic.
12:47 Pretty Little Liars. PLL. I'm just kidding. Uh, no. It was It was supposed to be like a like little No, it's the little things, right? Oh, the little things. Yes, the little pretty little Oh, the little things. Shut up. Yeah. I was ████ gay, dude. Is Is Fences good? Fences. Oh, fences is the other play one he did. Fences. Well, if you like If you like plays, I guess if you like Fences, you should watch Equalizer 2. There's a way nicer story line between two guns. Fences has something to do with Equalizer 2. No, but there's a better story line in Equalizer 2 than Fences. I enjoyed Safe House. Safe House is tight. How about How about Dja Vu? Did you see Déja V? I love Dja Vu. It's a sick movie. Yeah, it's a sick movie, dude. Jim Cavis. He's trying to get JC Jim. All right. What did you think of him in Gladiator 2? Did you guys see Gladiator 2?
13:38 He was probably the better part of the movie. Oh, for sure. He's the best part of the movie. You don't care about anything else, but you're like, when's Denzel coming back? You know what's funny? I I like this movie even though I have no business relating to it, but The Great Debbers I thought was pretty sick. I think I've seen that movie. The Great Debaters. Wow. Okay. Well, just you never indulge yourself in the Black Experience. What's wrong with you? Unless he's Unless he's a CIA guy and he's killing everybody then I'll watch it. He's definitely not in The Great Debaters. Great debaters. I just I'd rather watch Equalizer 3. Thank you for the third time. He's in Italy this time. You keep equalizing all his movies. Yeah, dude. We can't ████ Hey, you know why I love John Q, though? We say this in different ways in different times, but it always sits the same, dude. Father son dynamics history. I can't, dude. I can't, dude. So, I'm not gonna watch it. It's like freaking Rotten Tomatoes 100% if I know that's
14:28 I just want my dad to treat me like that. Yeah. You guys ever seen Out of Time? No. Have you ever seen Pelican Brief? I've seen Equalizer 3. Oh, hey, is Out of Time the one where Justin Timberlake pays for food? Remember the Titans, though? Remember the Titans, bro. I used to know that movie word for word. Yeah, dude. That movie goes hard. Oh, Philadelphia with Tom Hanks. I totally forgot about that one. That was great. I'm not watching that either. I'd rather see Equalizing Man on Fire. Can you Can you give us a Denzel speech from Remember this? All right. Okay. All right. All right. Okay. All right. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. Mine's just Book of Eli. That's my favorite one. But I need to watch Book of Eli all the way through. I've only seen the first like quarter of it, dude. Spoiler alert. He's deaf. Shut up. What? Are you really spoiling it? Yeah. What the ████ Oh my god, dude. You I just
15:20 might as well just take it off my watch list. Yeah, I might as well not watch it. I know he's in the Magnificent 7. Did anybody watch that movie? No, I did. It's a It's a collection of cowboys that are all from different parts of different. It's They're like the Avengers. No, you're thinking about The Hateful Eight. Oh, yeah. Cuz I watched that. Chris Pratt and Ethan Hawk with Denzel and Captain's fun. It's not like great. You know what's going to happen. I'll say that. By the way, I love Two Guns. I saw that in theaters with Nikki when we first got together and me and Mike went with with the girls and that movie is tight. I just love Denzel and anything. I like when him and Mark Wahberg are making fun of each other and they're just doing that the whole time. Yeah. Well, just Denzel elevates everything he's in. He's just so good. Mike, best Denzel movie. Go. Best one. Training Day. Oh, dude. Training Day. Training Day for sure. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. I'd say Equalizer one, but that's just me. I don't know though.
16:10 American Gangster is you like it or you don't like it? Equalizer one. American Gangster is really good. Yeah, I actually liked it too. I like it. I'm going flight number two for me. Flight after after um Dang. After after training day. Yeah. Flight to flight. Yeah. All right. All right. Best Denzel Washington where he's not like a tough guy cuz you know there's the ones where he plays like the not tough guy. Manurion candidate. Yeah. Well, he's not. He's kind of tough in there. Oh, never mind. Pell 123 for me. Pelum 123. Yeah. Is he not a tough guy in there? I don't think I've ever seen him not be a tough guy. And like Travolta is like this angry gay biker or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's Denzel's just the guy. He's the guy caught in the middle basically. He's like a lip piercing. You're like, "What the hell?" He's like a worker. He doesn't fight in Pel 123. He's on the phone when he's on the phone. Unstoppable. He's like a walkie-talkie guy the whole time. I'm
17:01 telling you. Yeah. He's like a He's He's a great facilitator as well. Yeah. Unsolvable is the sequel to Pell for sure. The train won't stop. It got taken again. You're not going to believe this. And Pella 123 is a remake, too. It was like Yeah. Yeah. It's an old ass movie, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to add uh what's it called? What did you say? Unstoppable and Equalizer 4 and Inside Man. Did you guys watch every single Denzel movie out there? Not all of them. That's why I'm looking at this. I'm like, dude, I still got some work to do. The point is that you It's a safe bet. He just always shows up. Yeah, you're not going to be like, "Why did we come to this theater and spend this money and do like like he's from the era of where it was it took more time and effort to go see a movie?" So, it's like it's going to deliver. I also just can't imagine anyone else being like, you know, Creasy and Man on Fire for real. Like, I can't imagine it. Tiff watched that to get ready for our Mexico City trip. Smart. So, it was good. It was
17:51 good. Just walk Christopher Walk in that movie. Cre is an artist and his p his his his his art is death and he's about to paint his masterpiece. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the best line. Or or when Denzel's under the bridge and he's like, "I wish you had more time." And he walks away cuz he put a bomb in the guy's ass and he's like, "Oh, please. I I'll pay you anything. Just more time. More time." And he and that's what he says. He put a bomb in his ass and he goes, "I wish I had more time." And he walks away. Guess what? You had more time. Blows up. Guy blows up from his ass. What movie was that? Man on Fire. Oh, that's in Man on Fire. Oh, great. I had that on my list, too. That's the Tony Scott movie. Thinking the whole time. Whose ass Whose ass is going to have Oh, you'll know, dude. You'll know. By the way, in that movie, the cinematography is like Don't Don't have a drink if you're going to
18:41 watch that movie cuz cinematography is like cut into all kinds of ████ like all the time like cameras moving around. That was my least favorite part about that movie forever fight. I just didn't know why cuz he gave me motion sickness cuz like the act he'll be shooting somebody and then it'll be like all these it looked like a screen saver, you know, like yellow. But it kind of makes you feel like you don't know what really happened. I don't know if it's like a dream sequence or some ████ but I think they just went cheap on the gunfight stuff. Yeah, that was that was American cinema for quite some time. Yeah, they didn't have like the coordinators that were But it doesn't matter. But it's just a little frustrating. Oh man. Okay. There's a lot of mutilation in that movie. I just realized that they're probably going to do like remakes in the future of some of these movies cuz you know like it's the industry is getting so lazy they only want to do sheriff fire bets and so I feel like training day we're all going to hate that it happens but like maybe in 20 years
19:32 there's going to be a training day remake. It'll all be played by Asian guys. That'd be cool. Yeah, that'll be cool. K. Play town.
