00:10:51
◼
►
what's beautiful about shaun of the dead
[TS]
00:10:52
◼
►
is first off there a lot of parallels
[TS]
00:10:56
◼
►
you know you're going to be watching a
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
zombie movie and so you see a bunch of
[TS]
00:10:59
◼
►
people of you see Simon Pegg sort of his
[TS]
00:11:02
◼
►
legs are kind of like stumbling and he's
[TS]
00:11:04
◼
►
moaning like a zombie but he's just
[TS]
00:11:05
◼

waking up and then they he wanders
[TS]
00:11:08
◼
►
through the town and there are other
[TS]
00:11:09
◼
►
people kind of wandering around like
[TS]
00:11:10
◼
►
zombies but they're just people but the
[TS]
00:11:13
◼
►
thing that I remembered about this movie
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
was even years later is that it
[TS]
00:11:18
◼
►
hilariously the characters don't notice
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
that the zombie apocalypse apocalypse is
[TS]
00:11:23
◼
►
happening for a very long period of time
[TS]
00:11:27
◼
►
while we watch the zombie apocalypse
[TS]
00:11:28
◼
►
happening in the background which is
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
delightful and it's it's a it's thematic
[TS]
00:11:32
◼
►
to because in
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
you know looking at all three movies
[TS]
00:11:35
◼
►
they they're all kind of start with that
[TS]
00:11:37
◼
►
head fake like where you think okay it's
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
not about zombies we're starting with
[TS]
00:11:42
◼
►
the zombies no we don't start writing
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
with the zombies like you know hot fuzz
[TS]
00:11:45
◼
►
oh it's an action movie
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
no you don't start right in with the
[TS]
00:11:47
◼
►
action movie and all of them take a left
[TS]
00:11:51
◼
►
halfway through into some being very
[TS]
00:11:52
◼
►
different than the second half of the
[TS]
00:11:54
◼
►
first half which I like
[TS]
00:11:55
◼
►
agreed alright so so Shaun of the Dead
[TS]
00:11:58
◼
►
Sean's got his girlfriend liz but that
[TS]
00:12:04
◼
►
their relationship isn't that great
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
because he just wants to go to the
[TS]
00:12:06
◼
►
winchester which is the favorite pub so
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
she's basically gonna gonna break up ooo
[TS]
00:12:10
◼
►
and one of her pals is gone from the
[TS]
00:12:13
◼
►
office the the british office and Dylan
[TS]
00:12:20
◼
►
Moran from black books which is another
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
so that has a lot of crossbreed
[TS]
00:12:24
◼
►
creativity with space that area around
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
the same time huh
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
so anyway the zombie apocalypse then
[TS]
00:12:30
◼
►
happens and and Shawn's father in law or
[TS]
00:12:36
◼
►
stepfather stepfather bill nye it
[TS]
00:12:41
◼
►
doesn't go well for him and they have
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
his cape borrow his car and it's you
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
know at and they end up back at the
[TS]
00:12:46
◼
►
Winchester that's the goal because
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
that's all Sean can everything to do is
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
go back to the pub and it's you know it
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
well i'm not quite sure what how to lead
[TS]
00:12:57
◼
►
this conversation because it's this
[TS]
00:12:58
◼
►
absolutely crazy movie favorite favorite
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
things about my favorite thing is that
[TS]
00:13:03
◼
►
they're completely oblivious for way to
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
way too long
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
the fact that the world has ended and
[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
they just haven't noticed because
[TS]
00:13:10
◼
►
they're so completely oblivious i like
[TS]
00:13:13
◼
►
the fact that a lot of it is is it it's
[TS]
00:13:16
◼
►
all very tight and it you know i think
[TS]
00:13:19
◼
►
we'll probably revisit this a lot with
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
the other movies too but you know there
[TS]
00:13:25
◼
►
there's a ton of foreshadowing you know
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
like at one point the pizzas to add he's
[TS]
00:13:31
◼
►
like you know why don't you just go live
[TS]
00:13:33
◼
►
in the shed and of course that's where
[TS]
00:13:34
◼
►
he ends up at the end you know they they
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
have all sorts of things like that the
[TS]
00:13:38
◼
►
the scripts are really really tight i
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
thought you know a lot of the dialogue
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
this is great and crackly that it's nice
[TS]
00:13:46
◼
►
at the beginning where we're introduced
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
to you know Liz and this is friends and
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
they're they're basically you know sean
[TS]
00:13:53
◼
►
liz are having a conversation about
[TS]
00:13:55
◼
►
their friends and then the camera turns
[TS]
00:13:58
◼
►
a little bit and you see that they're
[TS]
00:13:59
◼
►
actually just sitting right there and so
[TS]
00:14:02
◼
►
like like little tiny details like that
[TS]
00:14:05
◼
►
in addition to you know having lots of
[TS]
00:14:07
◼
►
fun and I think there's a scene where
[TS]
00:14:11
◼
►
they have zombies in the backyard and
[TS]
00:14:13
◼
►
they they realize that they have to kill
[TS]
00:14:16
◼
►
them by removing their handlers for
[TS]
00:14:18
◼
►
smashing their head and one of the
[TS]
00:14:21
◼
►
things they come up with is they can
[TS]
00:14:23
◼
►
throw old LPs final piece of them and so
[TS]
00:14:26
◼
►
rather than just pull out a bunch of
[TS]
00:14:28
◼
►
things and start throwing they have to
[TS]
00:14:29
◼
►
sort through the LPS and figure out in
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
four wells pressing yeah you know it's
[TS]
00:14:33
◼
►
like it's like the Batman soundtrack
[TS]
00:14:35
◼
►
okay throw it but you know
[TS]
00:14:37
◼
►
good heavens don't don't throw the
[TS]
00:14:39
◼
►
Prince 1999 or whatever let like it was
[TS]
00:14:42
◼
►
very important and they take advantage
[TS]
00:14:44
◼
►
of the fact that you know these these
[TS]
00:14:46
◼
►
are shuffling zombies they aren't speedy
[TS]
00:14:48
◼
►
zombies and so they can do a lot of
[TS]
00:14:50
◼
►
things while the zombies are trying to
[TS]
00:14:53
◼
►
catch up which is delightful to jason's
[TS]
00:14:57
◼
►
point about the obliviousness I i love
[TS]
00:14:59
◼
►
that I the thing i caught this time
[TS]
00:15:00
◼
►
watching it again is how much is going
[TS]
00:15:05
◼
►
on in the background like they're
[TS]
00:15:07
◼
►
talking about it constantly on the TV
[TS]
00:15:09
◼
►
and none of the characters either i mean
[TS]
00:15:11
◼
►
there's a blatant scene where he's like
[TS]
00:15:12
◼
►
flipping channels and he keeps skipping
[TS]
00:15:14
◼
►
over it and they cut together rather
[TS]
00:15:16
◼
►
rather brilliantly like several lines
[TS]
00:15:18
◼
►
about like you know eating people alive
[TS]
00:15:20
◼
►
we have three different channels but
[TS]
00:15:22
◼
►
even before that if you just listen to
[TS]
00:15:23
◼
►
all the background noise there's people
[TS]
00:15:24
◼
►
talking about all these awful things
[TS]
00:15:26
◼
►
happening and they're just totally not
[TS]
00:15:27
◼
►
paying attention to it i like that from
[TS]
00:15:31
◼
►
the first shot
[TS]
00:15:32
◼
►
we are not entirely impressed with sean
[TS]
00:15:36
◼
►
i mean he's the title character and
[TS]
00:15:38
◼
►
simon pegg and there's this feeling like
[TS]
00:15:40
◼
►
we're supposed to be rooting for him but
[TS]
00:15:44
◼
►
he doesn't behave particularly well and
[TS]
00:15:47
◼
►
then we see with with when they in that
[TS]
00:15:49
◼
►
scene that Jeff mentioned where they're
[TS]
00:15:51
◼
►
at liz's and her pals are there you know
[TS]
00:15:56
◼
►
that it's a fascinating dynamic they
[TS]
00:15:58
◼
►
obviously don't approve of Sean really
[TS]
00:16:01
◼
►
but there's this also this you know love
[TS]
00:16:03
◼
►
triangle where David is is sort of like
[TS]
00:16:07
◼
►
secretly obsessed essentially with with
[TS]
00:16:09
◼
►
Liz and Diane knows it and that's that's
[TS]
00:16:13
◼
►
fascinating but they're they're not you
[TS]
00:16:14
◼
►

[TS]
00:16:16
◼
►

[TS]
00:16:18
◼
►
about him and I like I kinda like that
[TS]
00:16:20
◼
►
when we meet Sean were supposed to you

◼
►

00:18:08
◼

the things have come together in a
[TS]
00:18:10
◼
►
glorious way but it never feels like
[TS]
00:18:13
◼
►
it's doing so and I checking of the
[TS]
00:18:15
◼
►
boxes like you don't even realize that
[TS]
00:18:17
◼
►
they've gone on an adventure until two

thirds of the way through the movie when

00:18:21
◼
►
they're sitting in the cellar about to
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
be devoured by zombies and you're like

up well so that like he really earned it
[TS]
00:18:36
◼

he earned the redemption which is is
[TS]
00:18:39
◼
►
nice rather than just you know in many
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
movies they sort of tell you that
[TS]
00:18:43
◼
►
oh and now he's a hero because he did
[TS]
00:18:45
◼
►
you know maybe some sort of minor thing
[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
like you know they they really make it
[TS]
00:18:49
◼
►
difficult for him and for the other
[TS]
00:18:52
◼

people maybe not so much for head but I
[TS]
00:18:56
◼
►
don't know if if we want to go into the
[TS]
00:18:58
◼

this movie at least for me
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
yeah oh yeah Jason did you like like I

[TS]
00:20:45
◼
►
between him and simon pegg which which
[TS]
00:20:47
◼
►
is the one thing that kind of transcends
[TS]
00:20:49
◼
►
all these films which is that these are
[TS]
00:20:51
◼
►
these are two guys have known each other

[TS]
00:20:57
◼

◼
►
is going to just when sean is going to

[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
albatross i don't know i mean they even
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
say it in the first film they say you
[TS]
00:21:16
◼

[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
have somebody who's worse of this person
[TS]
00:21:20
◼
►

00:21:22
◼
►
think they're aware of it but oh don't

[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
have that friend right
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
not necessarily to that extent but
[TS]
00:21:31
◼
►
everybody has that person that they've
[TS]
00:21:33
◼
►
known for years who always seems to muck
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
things up yet you you're not going to
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
cut them loose because there's some
[TS]
00:21:39
◼
►
people cutting loose but her it
[TS]
00:21:41
◼
►
sometimes they recommend that you go on
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
a podcast yeah oops podcast as
[TS]
00:21:48
◼
►
intervention
[TS]
00:21:49
◼
►
actually yeah directly Jeff I was that's
[TS]
00:21:51
◼
►
what this is i can I get your point
[TS]
00:21:54
◼
►
I mean everybody's got the friend who
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
you you know you have a connection for
[TS]
00:21:57
◼
►
special reasons that other people don't
[TS]
00:21:59
◼
►
understand and everybody else who you've
[TS]
00:22:02
◼
►
collected since then doesn't you know
[TS]
00:22:04
◼
►
doesn't play well with them and what do
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
you what are you gonna do because you're
[TS]
00:22:07
◼
►
still loyal to them and I I I get that
[TS]
00:22:09
◼
►
it's just that he does a lot of awful
[TS]
00:22:11
◼
►
things that make things worse throughout
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
this move it and I actually think that
[TS]
00:22:15
◼
►
that like that it that the chemistry
[TS]
00:22:17
◼
►
between them really does work and so
[TS]
00:22:20
◼
►
like it doesn't seem really fake that
[TS]
00:22:22
◼
►
the problem that I had is that but you
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
know here's a guy who
[TS]
00:22:25
◼
►
you know it's like big on video games
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
big on you know it allegedly beyond
[TS]
00:22:29
◼
►
action and cars and things like that and
[TS]
00:22:31
◼
►
yet he's doing stupid things that lately
[TS]
00:22:35
◼
►
but like for example they're outside the
[TS]
00:22:37
◼
►
Winchester they're trying to figure out
[TS]
00:22:38
◼
►
how to get in there are literally
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
zombies surrounding them and he has to
[TS]
00:22:43
◼
►
take a phone call from somebody who's
[TS]
00:22:45
◼
►
wondering if he has any weed like like I
[TS]
00:22:48
◼
►
understand that that that's a real you
[TS]
00:22:51
◼
►
know douchey move and and set it up so
[TS]
00:22:55
◼
►
that so that Sean can can really tell
[TS]
00:22:58
◼
►
him off but like I don't think even he
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
would be slow oblivious as to just stop
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
everything when zombies are closing in

00:23:06
◼
►
you know where is this video game

[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
some of the pressure off office oh yeah
[TS]
00:23:22

00:23:23
◼
►
designed to be this like well yeah that

zombie he'll shut up and he stays put

00:24:54
◼

briefly mentioned the the parallel
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
universe zombie survivalists yeah I'm
[TS]
00:25:00
◼
►
which I have to say the best part about
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
that is everybody in that lineup is
[TS]
00:25:03
◼
►
basically like from another british
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
sitcom most of them in parallel to
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
people in our lineup because you've got
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
Martin Freeman martinez also from the
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
you've got attempting Grieg who is from
[TS]
00:25:16
◼
►
black books which the Moran's and you
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
got Matt Lucas and you've got a Julia
[TS]
00:25:21
◼
►
Deacon who is Marsha from spaced are all
[TS]
00:25:25
◼
►
in that entire lineup which is hilarious
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
yeah the the parallel the parallel
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
universe version of of the bunch and I
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
assume they all they all die too because
[TS]
00:25:34
◼
►
later when we see Jessica Hynes we see
[TS]
00:25:39
◼
►
von she's with the soldiers and stuff
[TS]
00:25:41
◼
►
and it's just her right well that's all
[TS]
00:25:43
◼
►
anybody could be off-screen but yes I
[TS]
00:25:45
◼
►
guess I can so I just sort of assumed
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
that there they had the same kind of
[TS]
00:25:48
◼
►
attrition that you have in your group in
[TS]
00:25:50
◼
►
a zombie movie
[TS]
00:25:51
◼
►
you're gonna die one by one which is
[TS]
00:25:53
◼
►
what happens in Shaun of the Dead which
[TS]
00:25:54
◼
►
I liked that that we lose we lose a bill
[TS]
00:25:58
◼
►
my and we lose eventually Penelope
[TS]
00:26:01
◼
►
Wilton and and you know i like how would
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
they still went through all those genre
[TS]
00:26:06
◼
►
conventions this is a zombie movie it's
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
not just a comedy there are there are
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
horrific scenes of sucked peoples guts
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
being ripped open and stuff and I have
[TS]
00:26:18
◼
►
to say I I laughed so hard at those
[TS]
00:26:20
◼
►
scenes because in the context of them
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
they are punch lines they are meant as
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
jokes not as shock horror moments and it
[TS]
00:26:28
◼
►
worked for me at that one sorry that one
[TS]
00:26:30
◼
►
scene with the with David at the end
[TS]
00:26:33
◼
►
that's the one that gets me every time
[TS]
00:26:34
◼
►
he gets it goes over the edge into just
[TS]
00:26:36
◼
►
comedic star from likely just that
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
little waggy TSA's yeah but like the
[TS]
00:26:40
◼
►
Lottery's laughter the intestinal seen

[TS]
00:26:44
◼
►
was like oh man that's but it does it
[TS]
00:26:46
◼
►
you know it definitely adheres to the
[TS]
00:26:48
◼
►
you know zombie movie tropes and they're
[TS]
00:26:51
◼
►
clearly huge fans of the
[TS]
00:26:52
◼
►
genre there is in fact a whole zombie
[TS]
00:26:54
◼
►
episode of space in the first season i
[TS]
00:26:56

00:27:16
◼
►

[TS]
00:27:19
◼
►
make her feel better so I I don't know

00:27:22
◼
►

[TS]
00:27:29
◼
►
competent group of the incompetent group

[TS]
00:27:32
◼

group there's some truth to that that's

00:27:37
◼

[TS]
00:28:19
◼

[TS]
00:28:23
◼

where they where they have to kill
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
Penelope Wilton because she's turned
[TS]
00:28:26

into a zombie then and it's taken
[TS]
00:28:28
◼

seriously it's not i mean there are
[TS]
00:28:30
◼

jokes but it's not played as a toss off
[TS]
00:28:34
◼

it is this your your mom has died and
[TS]
00:28:36
◼

you have to do this because she's
[TS]
00:28:38
◼

turning into a zombie and it's not they
[TS]
00:28:40
◼

take the premise seriously ideal the
[TS]
00:28:41
◼

only weakness in that for me although I
[TS]
00:28:43
◼
►
found that very affecting the first time
[TS]
00:28:44
◼
►
i saw it was watching at this time he
[TS]
00:28:46
◼
►
uses the same whatever the technique is
[TS]
00:28:49
◼
►
for you know being really upset and sad
[TS]
00:28:50
◼
►
he uses that in other places when it's
[TS]
00:28:53
◼
►
like for ridiculous things
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
yeah so like I'm like listen to the tone
[TS]
00:28:57
◼
►
of his voice where and it's like the
[TS]
00:28:59
◼
►
seems like there's the paintball episode
[TS]
00:29:00
◼
►
of space where we're might get shot with
[TS]
00:29:02
◼
►
the paintball they're doing like the
[TS]
00:29:05
◼
►
like you know he's like but you'll be
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
okay and uses the exact same tone of
[TS]
00:29:08
◼
►
voice and I'm like I cannot take you
[TS]
00:29:09
◼

seriously right now but it is i mean i
[TS]
00:29:12
◼

do remember watching it the first time
[TS]
00:29:13
◼

being like yeah that's a it's pretty
[TS]
00:29:16
◼
►
emotional scenes get well and for comedy
[TS]
00:29:18
◼
►
like they didn't really have to do that
[TS]
00:29:20
◼
►
but they did so that was nice and I
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
think actually it's it's even like a
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
little bit more poignant later when you
[TS]
00:29:26
◼
►
learned that the zombies end up
[TS]
00:29:28
◼
►
surviving so you know like maybe it's
[TS]
00:29:31
◼
►
kind of sad that he had to shoot his
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
mother in the face rather than make
[TS]
00:29:35
◼
►
everything maybe after you don't commit

question i think a great style of
[TS]
00:31:07
◼

directing reminds me very much of
[TS]
00:31:10
◼

commedia dell'arte and of the idea of
[TS]
00:31:13
◼

working working in a framework and
[TS]
00:31:15
◼

working almost in in archetypes and
[TS]
00:31:18
◼

asks where you're working in so locked
[TS]
00:31:21
◼

down a format that you have freedom to
[TS]
00:31:23
◼
►
explore in these tiny little areas and
[TS]
00:31:26
◼
►
that little that freedom is what causes
[TS]
00:31:29
◼
►
the spark in the film i think you have
[TS]
00:31:31
◼

[TS]
00:38:05
◼
►
reminded me in that movie I inseparable
[TS]
00:38:07
◼
►
in that a wacky comedy that has a weird
[TS]
00:38:12
◼
►
nefarious secret plot at the bottom of
[TS]
00:38:14
◼
►
it Christopher Plummer is not in hot
[TS]
00:38:16
◼
►
fuzz butt but he might as well have been
[TS]
00:38:19
◼

maybe maybe it's just me but that I got
[TS]
00:38:21
◼
►
the same as like you know it's better

00:38:25
◼
►
it's at the dragnet better than it but
[TS]
00:38:27
◼
►
I'm saying it's for what a strange
[TS]
00:38:29
◼
►
little sub-genre we have here of these
[TS]
00:38:31
◼
►
bizarre cop movie comedies that sort of
[TS]
00:38:34
◼
►
take themselves seriously but not that
[TS]
00:38:37
◼
►
seriously but that they wind up with a
[TS]
00:38:39
◼
►
cult leader and this cult trying to
[TS]
00:38:43
◼
►
destroy things and and are goofy cops to
[TS]
00:38:46
◼
►
save the day that this is just way
[TS]
00:38:49
◼
►
well and what's also nice is that they
[TS]
00:38:52
◼
►
actually give you like two reasons for
[TS]
00:38:55
◼
►
for why people are dying and then the
[TS]
00:38:57
◼
►
first reason is you know it's plausible
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
there's like like this this whole real
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
estate deal and you know maybe like you
[TS]
00:39:05
◼
►
know they have to kill somebody to get
[TS]
00:39:07
◼
►
the real estate so that it will prevent
[TS]
00:39:09
◼
►
another shopping center coming like like
[TS]
00:39:10
◼
►
it's all very intricate and then that
[TS]
00:39:13
◼
►
falls away and you find out that that
[TS]
00:39:15
◼
►
that the real reason for it all is i
[TS]
00:39:18
◼
►
guess i can give away spoilers at the
[TS]
00:39:20
◼
►
amfar and you know it is that they want
[TS]
00:39:23
◼
►
to win the the village of the year award
[TS]
00:39:27
◼
►
and anything that stops them whether
[TS]
00:39:28
◼
►
it's you know people spraying graffiti
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
or god forbid the the living statue
[TS]
00:39:35
◼
►
oh no that guy you know that guy like
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►
they that they just kill them for the
[TS]
00:39:41
◼
►
greater good well it's interesting too
[TS]
00:39:42
◼
►
because the whole thing with the highway
[TS]
00:39:43
◼
►
bypass to me smacks very much of like a
[TS]
00:39:45
◼
►
noir movie rights icons like Chinatown
[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
which is moving does get reference a
[TS]
00:39:50
◼
►
couple times in there but then it does
[TS]
00:39:52
◼
►
and then it turns into this as just
[TS]
00:39:54
◼
►
saying the president is this even more
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
absurdist thing like now there's nothing
[TS]
00:39:58
◼
►
is really really want our village to be
[TS]
00:40:00
◼
►
perfect it's more like Stepford Wives
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
well you know it takes your viewing off
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
it for a little while like when you
[TS]
00:40:08
◼
►
start to watch the food
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
the first time you find yourself piecing
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
together what the what the villains plan
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
must be and you're like oh yeah I can
[TS]
00:40:17
◼
►
see how this is all connected and I
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
could see ice
[TS]
00:40:20
◼
►
I couldn't remember the the finer points
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
of why the villagers killed everyone so
[TS]
00:40:24
◼
►
I was like oh they probably killed her
[TS]
00:40:26
◼
►
because she was espousing the morals of
[TS]
00:40:29
◼
►
the town by sleeping with this married
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
man and they killed him because he was
[TS]
00:40:33
◼
►
it like but I didn't get all of them and
[TS]
00:40:36
◼
►
I and I started following the wrong path
[TS]
00:40:38
◼
►
when they butchered Shakespeare they
[TS]
00:40:40
◼
►
butchered my experience this was the
[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
only thing that was convincing in the
[TS]
00:40:45
◼
►
three-and-a-half hours of so-called
[TS]
00:40:46
◼
►
acting that such as I love that it's the
[TS]
00:40:50
◼
►
baz lurman version of Romeo and Juliet
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
minutes to get a musical number of the
[TS]
00:40:55
◼
►
way that it's another good love me
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
lovely so good i'm guessing no damn the
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
life that made me laugh out loud this
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
time was forget it its and for Sanford
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
yeah is it together
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
I I did grow up sort of marinated in the
[TS]
00:41:12
◼
►
action movie culture especially of the
[TS]
00:41:14
◼
►
nineties because that was when i was a
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
teenager and watching all of these
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
action movies and so you know we have a
[TS]
00:41:20
◼
►
weapon and diehard exactly like a whole
[TS]
00:41:23
◼
►
part of the section from lethal what
[TS]
00:41:24
◼
►
they left us the score from lethal
[TS]
00:41:26
◼
►
weapon in that scene where they go into
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
the into David Bradley's farmers shed
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
its full of all the weapons and they're
[TS]
00:41:32
◼
►
actually using the score from lethal
[TS]
00:41:33
◼
►
weapon in there which i think is great
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
and then later on they point out that
[TS]
00:41:36
◼
►
this little tribute thing on the screen
[TS]
00:41:38
◼
►
is actually hilarious because the when
[TS]
00:41:39
◼
►
they announced that the secret cult
[TS]
00:41:41
◼
►
meeting and was like but first the news
[TS]
00:41:43
◼
►
that they had twins she's decided to
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
name her twins Roger and Martin which
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
are the names of Mel Gibson and Danny
[TS]
00:41:48
◼
►
Glover's character struck me was I did
[TS]
00:41:51
◼
►
totally did would not have caught even
[TS]
00:41:53
◼
►
remotely but thank you whoever wrote the
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
trivia feed on Hot Fuzz but yeah and
[TS]
00:41:59
◼
►
knowing all those troops and everything
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
it's what makes it so delightful you
[TS]
00:42:02
◼
►
know that you ever jump to the air while
[TS]
00:42:05
◼
►
firing two guns simultaneously
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
oh yeah like which they pay off which
[TS]
00:42:09
◼
►
they pay off along with the high-speed
[TS]
00:42:10
◼
►
car chase and shooting people and and
[TS]
00:42:12
◼
►
it's it's another one of those places
[TS]
00:42:14
◼
►
where that takes the left term because
[TS]
00:42:16
◼
►
it's in some ways so serious he's such a
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
by-the-books cop right
[TS]
00:42:19
◼
►
you know he's not he's regret shooting
[TS]
00:42:21
◼
►
people you
[TS]
00:42:22
◼
►
he doesn't want to do anything and then
[TS]
00:42:23
◼
►
by the end you just basically that all
[TS]
00:42:24
◼
►
gets thrown out the window in service /
[TS]
00:42:26
◼
►
ye of bad boys to basically right so the
[TS]
00:42:29
◼
►
left turning in shaun of the dead is
[TS]
00:42:30
◼
►
suddenly it is a zombie movie and they
[TS]
00:42:32
◼
►
have to run and there's lots of action
[TS]
00:42:34
◼
►
and there's lots of zombies and hot fuzz
[TS]
00:42:35
◼
►
it's the realization that it's not just
[TS]
00:42:38
◼
►
there's not just a killer but there is
[TS]
00:42:41
◼
►
sort of like every all the town elders
[TS]
00:42:43
◼
►
are are killing people and he finds out
[TS]
00:42:46
◼
►
and at that point it's just gunfire it's
[TS]
00:42:50
◼
►
it into the top totally grill easy
[TS]
00:42:54
◼
►
Michael Bay it's drenched you know he
[TS]
00:42:57
◼
►
said rent amount of town and then he
[TS]
00:42:59
◼
►
comes back and he's riding a horse
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
riding a horse and ask Morgan got no
[TS]
00:43:04
◼
►
arms or anything it's just doesn't
[TS]
00:43:06
◼
►
matter will end and it the the way edgar
[TS]
00:43:09
◼
►
wright cuts it too is also very much
[TS]
00:43:11
◼
►
like all these and exactly right and
[TS]
00:43:13
◼
►
aluminum all the consumes in and out a
[TS]
00:43:16
◼
►
panning around and even things like like
[TS]
00:43:18
◼
►
when they go to the farm that has all
[TS]
00:43:20
◼
►
the weapons and they may think they've
[TS]
00:43:22
◼
►
activated this this massive see mine you
[TS]
00:43:25
◼
►
know why there would be a seam on there
[TS]
00:43:27
◼
►
you know what
[TS]
00:43:28
◼
►
ok and and and so like like they have
[TS]
00:43:31
◼
►
the big scene where they come running
[TS]
00:43:33
◼
►
out and the cameras you know pulls back
[TS]
00:43:35
◼
►
and they jump over a hedge and you know
[TS]
00:43:38
◼
►
because in every single other movie
[TS]
00:43:40
◼
►
that's when their locations closer to
[TS]
00:43:41
◼
►
you and then they stand up and they're
[TS]
00:43:43
◼
►
nothing happened its dustin themselves
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
off and you know it's it's very so
[TS]
00:43:48
◼
►
intentionally playing off of the
[TS]
00:43:49
◼
►
expectation that you have because you've
[TS]
00:43:51
◼
►
watched 50 of these movies and then
[TS]
00:43:54
◼
►
taking a little turn even in you know a
[TS]
00:43:56
◼
►
little small bits like that
[TS]
00:43:58
◼
►
can we point out that the the the the
[TS]
00:44:01
◼
►
return of angel to the town is entirely
[TS]
00:44:05
◼
►
predicated on seeing dvds in a gas
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
station and us getting ready for a great
[TS]
00:44:11
◼
►
example is to match that moment of like
[TS]
00:44:13
◼
►
all right I'm going back and all of
[TS]
00:44:16
◼
►
those guns that seemed extraneous in the
[TS]
00:44:17
◼
►
time and daily to every Bradley shed
[TS]
00:44:20
◼
►
might be might come in handy
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
Chekhov's gun laws i was gonna say it's
[TS]
00:44:25
◼
►
the law of chico's description of Gungan
[TS]
00:44:28
◼
►
plan I believe checkout wrote lethal
[TS]
00:44:30
◼
►
weapon and die hard as well based on
[TS]
00:44:33
◼
►
original checkoff plays checkoff said
[TS]
00:44:35
◼
►
that if you
[TS]
00:44:35
◼
►

[TS]
00:44:38
◼
►
they all will be fired simultaneously
[TS]
00:44:41

00:59:42
◼

takes are not just a right turn it takes
[TS]
00:59:44
◼
►
a sharp sharp writer and halfway through
[TS]
00:59:47
◼
►
it if you'd go into this movie thinking
[TS]
00:59:49
◼
►
it's going to be a you know a story
[TS]
00:59:53
◼
►
about a guy who's really trying to
[TS]
00:59:55
◼
►
relive the past and obviously he's going
[TS]
00:59:57
◼
►
to have a journey over the course of
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
going through all these different parts
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
going through all these different parts
[TS]
01:00:00
◼

herbs and and and you know his friends
[TS]
01:00:03
◼
►
are gonna learn about their stare state
[TS]
01:00:05
◼
►
kind of middle-aged ways but he's gonna
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
learn something about having to move on
[TS]
01:00:08
◼
►
all that effect is the movie gives you
[TS]
01:00:10
◼
►
that for the first one half hour 45
[TS]
01:00:12
◼
►
minutes
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
it's a darker funny but it's really kind
[TS]
01:00:16
◼
►
of dark and weird and I liked it a lot
[TS]
01:00:19
◼

[TS]
01:00:21
◼

01:00:38
◼
►

[TS]
01:00:40

I think this would still be a really
[TS]
01:00:43
◼
►
good movie it's just that halfway

01:00:44
◼
►
through it becomes a totally different

01:01:54
◼
►
reason the town is devoid of all life is
[TS]
01:01:57
◼
►
it because

[TS]
01:03:00
◼
►
time laughing all this and I look over
[TS]
01:03:01
◼
►
that scene because I knew it was coming
[TS]
01:03:03
◼
►
eventually and she's just like eyes wide
[TS]
01:03:06
◼
►
like what we're going on
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
it was a great moment it all the way
[TS]
01:03:12
◼
►
they do it to it is is great because
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
it's not like you know he reaches over
[TS]
01:03:15
◼
►
and pops his head off their they're
[TS]
01:03:17
◼
►
having this little fight scene and
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
throws the guy down and his head you
[TS]
01:03:20
◼
►
know it's the urine olin and the edge of
[TS]
01:03:22
◼
►
the URL and you know normally like maybe
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
the urinal with breakaway or sport ever
[TS]
01:03:26
◼
►
but no his head just pops all right off
[TS]
01:03:29
◼
►
think flies around you and then the head
[TS]
01:03:31
◼
►
looks at them a little bit longer while
[TS]
01:03:33
◼
►
it's on the floor and once this happens
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
and you realize what you're seeing here
[TS]
01:03:37
◼
►
it is the I feel like this movie plays
[TS]
01:03:39
◼
►
by the rules that we and it takes them
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
to their extreme that that it it seems
[TS]
01:03:45
◼
►
to know exactly what it wants to do and
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
uh although again if you had an entire
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
village full of these guys could you not
[TS]
01:03:53
◼
►
not let them go to the next pub but they
[TS]
01:03:57
◼
►
managed it anyway but i I just I like
[TS]
01:03:59
◼
►
that too that there soon be some rules
[TS]
01:04:01
◼
►
about how you can defeat these kind of
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
robot guys or whatever they are there's
[TS]
01:04:05
◼
►
a whole hilarious debate where they're
[TS]
01:04:07
◼
►
talking about if they are robots or
[TS]
01:04:09
◼
►
aliens or something else like what we
[TS]
01:04:10
◼
►
call them which is really nice while
[TS]
01:04:12
◼
►
they're having beer not robot because
[TS]
01:04:14
◼
►
you know what the origin of the word
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
exactly slave yes very important i think
[TS]
01:04:20
◼
►
they do a fairly good job of a of towing
[TS]
01:04:23
◼
►
that line of working within those rules
[TS]
01:04:26
◼
►
and also like it if they were to go like
[TS]
01:04:29
◼
►
you know an inch further you would think
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
okay well why don't the robots just
[TS]
01:04:33
◼
►
swarm them and be done with it you know
[TS]
01:04:35
◼
►
and and they're also sort of more
[TS]
01:04:39
◼
►
credibility moments where you're like
[TS]
01:04:43
◼
►
okay like they know what's going on yet
[TS]
01:04:47
◼
►
there are continuing to do this pub
[TS]
01:04:49
◼
►
crawl and they make justifications for
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
this that I think are are are just good
[TS]
01:04:55
◼
►
enough for you say okay well they can't
[TS]
01:04:58
◼
►
leave the town because that might alert
[TS]
01:05:00
◼
►
them and then they would die in a field
[TS]
01:05:01
◼
►
somewhere as as somebody says and and
[TS]
01:05:04
◼
►
then says I don't like fields you know
[TS]
01:05:07
◼
►
and and then like likes so you're still
[TS]
01:05:11
◼
►
with them on the adventure rather than
[TS]
01:05:14
◼
►
saying you idiots just get in the car
[TS]
01:05:16
◼
►
and leave which I think was a hard thing
[TS]
01:05:20
◼
►
for them to do I think they pulled it
[TS]
01:05:21
◼
►
off pretty well yeah um one of the
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
things I like about about this movie is
[TS]
01:05:27
◼
►
Simon Pegg really does take a journey
[TS]
01:05:29
◼
►
here Gary King I mean he this adventure
[TS]
01:05:32
◼
►
that he's in he you know he's messed

01:05:36
◼
►

[TS]
01:05:37
◼
►
as we go that he has been committed
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
because he tried to kill himself that's
[TS]
01:05:41
◼
►
the the the the group therapy that he's
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►
in at the beginning and he walks away

things about about gary is that he is a
[TS]
01:06:03
◼
►
you know complete mess and an alcoholic
[TS]
01:06:06
◼
►

[TS]
01:06:12
◼
►
going on in this in this movie about

[TS]
01:06:29
◼

[TS]
01:06:32
◼
►
midst of the action and the comedy there
[TS]
01:06:34
◼
►
is this core that never really drops

01:06:36
◼

away that we see in the beginning of the

these it in very different ways with
[TS]
01:07:03
◼
►
very different characters but they all
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
follow a protagonist who is missing
[TS]
01:07:08
◼
►
something
[TS]
01:07:10
◼
►
you know Nicholas angel is the perfect
[TS]
01:07:11
◼

cop but he's missing the humanity

01:07:13
◼

01:07:23
◼

transformation of them all but they're
[TS]
01:07:25
◼

all missing something and by the end
[TS]
01:07:27
◼
►
they've they've achieved that which is
[TS]
01:07:31
◼
►
really interesting and I mean in some
[TS]
01:07:33
◼
►
ways its maturity but no no no most of
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
the most of the characters drop along
[TS]
01:07:39
◼
►
the way although in this case just being
[TS]
01:07:43
◼
►
being taken
[TS]
01:07:44
◼
►
there's a really nice moment where you
[TS]
01:07:45
◼
►
don't know whether that when they're
[TS]
01:07:46
◼
►
taken and replaced with robot duplicates
[TS]
01:07:48
◼
►
are they did and then when they get the
[TS]
01:07:50
◼
►
final to the World's End and talk to the
[TS]
01:07:53
◼
►
voice of the alien Network it's revealed
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
that their mulched so they are actually
[TS]
01:07:59
◼
►
10 yeah I was released I kept hoping
[TS]
01:08:01
◼
►
they would rescue martin freeman there
[TS]
01:08:03
◼
►
at the end but but but they've got his

01:08:11
◼

[TS]
01:08:15
◼
►
he's a robot i also love the the Chico's
[TS]
01:08:18
◼
►
rule again they named the movie the
[TS]
01:08:20
◼
►
world's end and you get the worlds in
[TS]
01:08:23
◼
►
yeah when they reach the the world's end
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
the world it actually and I'm unclear on
[TS]
01:08:28
◼
►
the fact of the world's end as a pub
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
also has a thing that lowers into the
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
floor to reveal the alien whatever but
[TS]
01:08:36
◼
►
at that point I'm like all right Kelly
[TS]
01:08:38
◼
►
already lost your your your body in it
[TS]
01:08:40
◼
►
point where the boss level I mean the
[TS]
01:08:42
◼
►
boss level it just does that because
[TS]
01:08:44
◼
►
this is the end you can you reach the
[TS]
01:08:46
◼
►
end reminds me of the movie Penn &
[TS]
01:08:49
◼
►
Teller get killed
[TS]
01:08:50
◼
►
which is by no means a great movie or at
[TS]
01:08:53
◼
►
all but at the end of the movie it
[TS]
01:08:55
◼
►
builds up to the point where lo and
[TS]
01:08:57
◼
►
behold they get shot in their killed and
[TS]
01:08:59
◼
►
is the camera pulls back and the credit
[TS]
01:09:01
◼
►
start rolling pendulums voice comes on
[TS]
01:09:04
◼
►
it goes
[TS]
01:09:04
◼
►
what did you expect we named the movie
[TS]
01:09:06
◼
►
pennant I had killed anything else would
[TS]
01:09:08
◼
►
be a cheat
[TS]
01:09:09
◼
►
I really love it what I really love
[TS]
01:09:11
◼
►
about the ending not necessarily the
[TS]
01:09:13
◼
►
Kota which we could talk about but I i
[TS]
01:09:17
◼
►
love the fact that when these guys
[TS]
01:09:19
◼
►
finally talked to the the network and
[TS]
01:09:23
◼
►
that this the whole point of this
[TS]
01:09:24
◼
►
horrible alien invasion is to socialize
[TS]
01:09:29
◼
►
us so that we play nice little more
[TS]
01:09:31
◼
►
nicely with others so that when earth
[TS]
01:09:33
◼
►
joins the interstellar you know
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
community we are better behaved because
[TS]
01:09:38
◼
►
we're kind of messed up and that's funny
[TS]
01:09:41
◼
►
and what's funnier is all of that you
[TS]
01:09:44
◼
►
know all these these guys say you know
[TS]
01:09:47
◼
►
basically screw you don't tell us what
[TS]
01:09:51
◼
►
will be just as will be just as unruly
[TS]
01:09:53
◼
►
and dumb as we want to be and there's
[TS]
01:09:56
◼
►
that callback to the one we want to do
[TS]
01:09:58
◼
►
we want to drink me all that it's like
[TS]
01:10:00
◼
►
would be responsible and they basically
[TS]
01:10:02
◼
►
tell the alien Network of the galaxy two
[TS]
01:10:06
◼
►
to get a piss off and they do and they
[TS]
01:10:10
◼
►
end of human civilization as a result
[TS]
01:10:13
◼
►
which you know
[TS]
01:10:14
◼
►
yeah I was surprised by that choice at
[TS]
01:10:17
◼
►
the end but but i really like the idea
[TS]
01:10:19
◼
►
that that that people would say I mean
[TS]
01:10:21
◼
►
it seems like such human nature to me to
[TS]
01:10:23
◼
►
say oh hey aliens that's cool but you
[TS]
01:10:26
◼
►
what you want to change us
[TS]
01:10:28
◼
►
you wanna you know screw you we're going
[TS]
01:10:30
◼
►
to stay the same that's it you know that
[TS]
01:10:31
◼
►
it's gonna set this movie in New York I
[TS]
01:10:33
◼
►
think it would have been exactly the
[TS]
01:10:34
◼
►
same kind of beautiful big what some
[TS]
01:10:36
◼
►
alien comes in and tells me what to do
[TS]
01:10:39
◼
►
forget about yeah but then instead
[TS]
01:10:40
◼
►
they're like all right fine but then
[TS]
01:10:42
◼
►
you're gonna have no electricity or
[TS]
01:10:44
◼
►
metal and they make it work pretty well
[TS]
01:10:47
◼
►
because the throughout the whole movie
[TS]
01:10:49
◼
►
you find that that it's impossible to
[TS]
01:10:51
◼
►
argue with Kerry King and that
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
that's what what all right triggers
[TS]
01:10:56
◼
►
everything at the end because the the
[TS]
01:10:58
◼
►
the network is finally like I forget it
[TS]
01:11:01
◼
►
your ID you can yeah alright fine give
[TS]
01:11:05
◼
►
up and of course Bill Nighy again that's
[TS]
01:11:07
◼
►
the 1i again and that leads us to the
[TS]
01:11:09
◼
►
end end which is that we end up in this
[TS]
01:11:11
◼
►
post-apocalyptic world where there's no
[TS]
01:11:13
◼
►
electricity and it's and it's a and it's
[TS]
01:11:16
◼
►
the apocalypse and I you know it how's
[TS]
01:11:18
◼
►
that was a long that was a whole extra
[TS]
01:11:21
◼
►
thing where i'm like really all this way
[TS]
01:11:23
◼
►
I figured they'd just like blow up the
[TS]
01:11:24
◼
►
town and leave
[TS]
01:11:25
◼
►
I thought that was a kind of a funny
[TS]
01:11:27
◼
►
random ending
[TS]
01:11:29
◼
►
I've seen a couple people in the chat
[TS]
01:11:30
◼
►
room say that they felt like that was
[TS]
01:11:31
◼
►
kind of a like a cop-out ever minded you
[TS]
01:11:34
◼
►
have a fahrenheit 451 a little bit we're
[TS]
01:11:37
◼
►
all like sit around telling stories
[TS]
01:11:39
◼
►
around the fire right
[TS]
01:11:41
◼
►
you remind me of a boy and his dog this
[TS]
01:11:44
◼
►
one's name should remind you that no no
[TS]
01:11:47
◼
►
that's true
[TS]
01:11:48
◼
►
it did seem a little tact on which is
[TS]
01:11:50
◼
►
which was surprising because you know it
[TS]
01:11:53
◼
►
as we discussed like these guys don't
[TS]
01:11:55
◼
►
attack on anything like like everything
[TS]
01:11:57
◼
►
is so deliberate
[TS]
01:11:59
◼
►
I mean I think so i I've seen the movie
[TS]
01:12:02
◼
►
three times and it it kind of works a
[TS]
01:12:06
◼
►
little bit better when you see it again
[TS]
01:12:08
◼
►
and I should also recommend anybody like
[TS]
01:12:11
◼
►
you have to watch these movies many many
[TS]
01:12:13
◼
►
times because it really pays off but
[TS]
01:12:17
◼
►
still is especially the first time I was
[TS]
01:12:19
◼
►
like I was like oh ok so so they went
[TS]
01:12:21
◼
►
there they they did the full apocalypse
[TS]
01:12:24
◼
►
and now we're just going to have kind of
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
a voiceover here's what happened to this
[TS]
01:12:28
◼
►
person hears what happened at all the
[TS]
01:12:29
◼
►
robots are still alive even though the
[TS]
01:12:32
◼
►
aliens left which kinda doesn't make
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
sense but makes yeah yeah I i woulda
[TS]
01:12:38
◼
►
probably preferred an ending where they
[TS]
01:12:39
◼
►
blew up the town and they ended up sort
[TS]
01:12:41
◼
►
of sitting there at the end being like
[TS]
01:12:42
◼
►
well never come we can never go home
[TS]
01:12:44
◼
►
again you know or just we'll go back to
[TS]
01:12:47
◼
►
our lives and will be better people but
[TS]
01:12:48
◼
►
instead it was you know they wanted to
[TS]
01:12:50
◼
►
do an apocalypse thing but yeah it came
[TS]
01:12:52
◼
►
it kind of came out of left field didn't
[TS]
01:12:54
◼
►
think it was necessary but you know i
[TS]
01:12:56
◼
►
love the movie i loved the movie I i
[TS]
01:12:59
◼
►
want to say I it's rare that i come out
[TS]
01:13:04
◼
►
of a movie theater feeling as kind of
[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►
happy and entertained and delighted as I
[TS]
01:13:11
◼
►
did coming out of this because it was
[TS]
01:13:13
◼
►
the respectable in it but you know it's
[TS]
01:13:14
◼
►
a 20 million dollar movie it's not a
[TS]
01:13:16
◼
►
hundred-million-dollar movie it it's got
[TS]
01:13:18
◼
►
some spectacle but it's got humanity and
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
it's got laughs and and I its quirky and
[TS]
01:13:23
◼
►
weird and funny and plus it pushes all
[TS]
01:13:25
◼
►
the side buttons that that you know I I
[TS]
01:13:27
◼
►
enjoy seeing pushed and things blowing
[TS]
01:13:30
◼
►
up so I thought it was great and it has
[TS]
01:13:32
◼
►
amazing fight scenes me what what's
[TS]
01:13:34
◼
►
what's great is when two things one nick
[TS]
01:13:38
◼
►
frost turns out to be like like the the
[TS]
01:13:40
◼
►
super brawler that can take down you
[TS]
01:13:42
◼
►
know as many blanks or yes robots as
[TS]
01:13:45
◼
►
possible and and they actually make that
[TS]
01:13:47
◼
►
work because I mean Nick Frost is a big
[TS]
01:13:50
◼
►
guy and he does a lot of running and
[TS]
01:13:51
◼
►
you're sort of like all right that's
[TS]
01:13:53
◼
►
that's kind of a little bit you know
[TS]
01:13:54
◼
►
stretches the credibility except that
[TS]
01:13:56
◼
►
they make it clear early on that he was
[TS]
01:14:00
◼
►
like a big rugby player so you're like
[TS]
01:14:01
◼
►
okay so he's a rugby player was put on
[TS]
01:14:03
◼
►
some pounds who you know is is now older
[TS]
01:14:05
◼
►
but can totally kick butt when he needs
[TS]
01:14:08
◼
►
and also one of the things that they've
[TS]
01:14:10
◼
►
mentioned some of the interviews is when
[TS]
01:14:13
◼
►
they were choreographing the fight
[TS]
01:14:15
◼
►
scenes they're very much trying to
[TS]
01:14:17
◼
►
figure out like how would each of these
[TS]
01:14:18
◼
►
these actors do well in a fight scene so
[TS]
01:14:22
◼
►
it doesn't seem like you know you have
[TS]
01:14:25
◼
►
an actor who's fighting like suddenly
[TS]
01:14:29
◼
►
has you know superfight powers if as you
[TS]
01:14:33
◼
►
see in some movies and in some cases you
[TS]
01:14:35
◼
►
have like like anybody marcin who you
[TS]
01:14:38
◼
►
know that he doesn't fight at all eat
[TS]
01:14:39
◼
►
runs away and skulls on the ground and
[TS]
01:14:42
◼
►
so that it be
[TS]
01:14:43
◼
►
it really works and also works in the
[TS]
01:14:46
◼
►
sense that that the actors are doing a
[TS]
01:14:48
◼
►
lot of this like you see them in the
[TS]
01:14:50
◼
►
camera moves and you can see what's
[TS]
01:14:52
◼
►
going on again unlike many fight scenes
[TS]
01:14:54
◼
►
that are cut so quickly that your it's
[TS]
01:14:56
◼
►
just kind of a blur of fists and things
[TS]
01:14:59
◼
►
yeah I end and for me I agree with Jason
[TS]
01:15:02
◼
►
I came out of this feeling incredibly
[TS]
01:15:04
◼
►
positive about this and and I i did was
[TS]
01:15:07
◼
►
lucky enough to go see it with a you
[TS]
01:15:08
◼
►
know like probably close to a dozen
[TS]
01:15:10
◼
►
friends of mine some of whom I've known
[TS]
01:15:11
◼
►
for like 20 years so yeah there's I
[TS]
01:15:14
◼
►
think it definitely definitely shed some
[TS]
01:15:17
◼
►
light on it in some inputs an inch
[TS]
01:15:19
◼
►
testing perspective when you're saying
[TS]
01:15:20
◼
►
that I guess we kind of have you know
[TS]
01:15:22
◼
►
the exact same group of friends it's
[TS]
01:15:24
◼
►
been around for like 20 years with you
[TS]
01:15:27
◼
►
know with with our ups and downs and our
[TS]
01:15:30
◼
►
are complicated relationships but it was
[TS]
01:15:33
◼
►
still I really enjoyed it i found myself
[TS]
01:15:35
◼
►
I just looking back now and thinking
[TS]
01:15:36
◼
►
about it I just I felt like I was
[TS]
01:15:38
◼
►
laughing kind of non-stop through you
[TS]
01:15:40
◼
►
know a good portion of the second and
[TS]
01:15:41
◼
►
third acts i should also mention that
[TS]

◼

[TS]
01:15:47
◼
►
was a hoot because basically like
[TS]
01:15:49
◼
►
through all the fight scenes he was
[TS]
01:15:51
◼
►
Kathleen like I've never seen it like he
[TS]
01:15:54
◼
►
literally almost fell out of his chair
[TS]
01:15:55
◼
►
in the theater
[TS]
01:15:56
◼
►
well i mean that's that's because Edgar
[TS]
01:15:59
◼
►
Wright's cousin once was a okay Lana
[TS]
01:16:04
◼
►
father's pet groomer so you know there's
[TS]
01:16:08
◼
►
a connection know it's a funny movie and
[TS]
01:16:10
◼
►
all the it works it all works right that
[TS]
01:16:13
◼
►
the the characters and the you know the
[TS]
01:16:16
◼
►
the more serious story that's happening
[TS]
01:16:18
◼
►
and the humor of it and then the
[TS]
01:16:20
◼
►
outlandish syfy which is handled in a
[TS]
01:16:24
◼
►
you know it's not it if people
[TS]
01:16:26
◼
►
nobody's as frightened of it is maybe
[TS]
01:16:28
◼
►
they would be in real life but it's
[TS]
01:16:30
◼
►
still handles sort of consistently and
[TS]
01:16:32
◼
►
so you end up with this really enjoyable
[TS]
01:16:33
◼
►
ride where I was never gonna be like
[TS]
01:16:36
◼
►
terrified or seriously worried about the
[TS]
01:16:39
◼
►
lives of the characters which turns out
[TS]
01:16:41
◼
►
i should have been in some cases is
[TS]
01:16:42
◼
►
because I was just enjoying the ride it
[TS]
01:16:44
◼
►
was a really nice package of things that
[TS]
01:16:46
◼
►
I don't you don't see these kind of
[TS]
01:16:47
◼
►
these movies are kind of a kind here and
[TS]
01:16:50
◼
►
you don't see a lot of movies like them
[TS]
01:16:52
◼
►
i think that's one of the remarkable
[TS]
01:16:52
◼
►
things about what these guys do is that
[TS]
01:16:54
◼
►
is that they're doing that whatever
[TS]
01:16:57
◼
►
ingredients they have in their recipe
[TS]
01:16:59
◼
►
book you know they're there they're
[TS]
01:17:01
◼
►
cooking with ingredients that other
[TS]
01:17:03
◼
►
people aren't I mean they these movies
[TS]
01:17:06
◼
►
feel similar in so many ways and I'm a
[TS]
01:17:09
◼
►
little surprised that other maybe it's
[TS]
01:17:11
◼
►
just not something we can be replicated
[TS]
01:17:12
◼
►
that that that we don't see it more
[TS]
01:17:15
◼
►
movies in this in this vein because
[TS]
01:17:17
◼
►
they're not super high budget they
[TS]
01:17:19
◼
►
combine these different elements of
[TS]
01:17:21
◼
►
humor and action and they work really
[TS]
01:17:24
◼
►
well I think we have to contribute some
[TS]
01:17:26
◼
►
of that to the filmmakers themselves
[TS]
01:17:28
◼
►
because unlike its it's very easy to say
[TS]
01:17:32
◼
►
i'm going to create
[TS]
01:17:33
◼
►
a low-budget films for India friendly
[TS]
01:17:35
◼
►
and I just haven't seen those movies I
[TS]
01:17:37
◼
►
mean I haven't seen they haven't ever
[TS]
01:17:39
◼
►
been knockoffs of these movies that have
[TS]
01:17:41
◼
►
just failed or is nobody even trying
[TS]
01:17:43
◼
►
because of these guys are the only guys
[TS]
01:17:45
◼
►
who can do it right
[TS]
01:17:47
◼
►
I i think it's it's a hard if they're
[TS]
01:17:50
◼
►
not formulaic right and so much of what
[TS]
01:17:52
◼
►
we see out of Hollywood is formulaic
[TS]
01:17:53
◼
►
that it there's a tendency to just sort
[TS]
01:17:55
◼
►
of like well just you know take the tick
[TS]
01:17:57
◼
►
the boxes and going numbers I i think if
[TS]
01:18:00
◼
►
you tried to pull off something that was
[TS]
01:18:01
◼
►
even intuitive this it would probably
[TS]
01:18:03
◼
►
fail just because it is in some way so
[TS]
01:18:08
◼
►
tied to who they are as people because
[TS]
01:18:10
◼
►
of all these things like these lodges
[TS]
01:18:12
◼
►
and these love you know
[TS]
01:18:13
◼
►
references to films and John rose and
[TS]
01:18:16
◼
►
stuff like that i think you know you do
[TS]
01:18:18
◼
►
see things occasionally that are of this
[TS]
01:18:20
◼
►
ilk but it's hard to get made to I think
[TS]
01:18:23
◼
►
because it's hard to sell somebody on it
[TS]
01:18:24
◼
►
and and you know even as a smaller movie
[TS]
01:18:27
◼
►
i think you know Edgar is at least as
[TS]
01:18:29
◼
►
established his his credit and simon
[TS]
01:18:31
◼
►
pegg certainly is become a a marketable
[TS]
01:18:34
◼
►
star in some ways I mean he's you know
[TS]
01:18:36
◼
►
in in Star Trek for for heaven's sake so
[TS]
01:18:38
◼
►
I think there is a kind of a perfect
[TS]
01:18:40
◼
►
storm of of factors there that they get
[TS]
01:18:42
◼
►
these movies made in the I mean you know
[TS]
01:18:45
◼
►
if the chief chief reason behind them is
[TS]
01:18:47
◼
►
because they're great and it's hard to
[TS]
01:18:50
◼
►
make a great movie of this sort I think
[TS]
01:18:51
◼
►
yeah well also they're all three of them
[TS]
01:18:54
◼
►
originated in the british film film
[TS]
01:19:00
◼
►
world they didn't start as Hollywood
[TS]
01:19:02
◼
►
films so that kinda helps to have a
[TS]
01:19:05
◼
►
little more freedom to be different
[TS]
01:19:07
◼
►
there at third as many people saying
[TS]
01:19:10
◼
►
well you know you need more aliens here
[TS]
01:19:12
◼
►
in a Benson Stephenson a what if there's
[TS]
01:19:15
◼
►
like a sex scene was known sit at the
[TS]
01:19:18
◼
►
pub pub come on they they try and have a
[TS]
01:19:21
◼
►
sexy but it doesn't go out so well for
[TS]
01:19:23
◼
►
yeah yeah I got your present now I mean
[TS]
01:19:28
◼
►
you look at Joe Cornish was kind of on
[TS]
01:19:30
◼
►
the fringe of their of their group
[TS]
01:19:32
◼
►
heated attack of the block which is in
[TS]
01:19:35
◼
►
some ways very similar to these films
[TS]
01:19:37
◼
►
and and very very clever which I I don't
[TS]
01:19:40
◼
►
know if anybody's seen it but it's it's
[TS]
01:19:41
◼
►
very it's a fun fun little film but
[TS]
01:19:45
◼
►
honestly
[TS]
01:19:46
◼
►
I'm trying to compare the closest thing
[TS]
01:19:48
◼
►
I can think of is like galaxy quest
[TS]
01:19:50
◼
►
which is like it's it's not even
[TS]
01:19:53
◼
►
remotely in the same field but it has
[TS]
01:19:56
◼
►
the same kind of playful fun
[TS]
01:19:58
◼
►
endologix without necessarily feeling
[TS]
01:20:00
◼
►
cookie cutter what's what's really cool
[TS]
01:20:02
◼
►
is Joe corner and adam buxton who
[TS]
01:20:05
◼
►
appears and he's in a noise and hot fuzz
[TS]
01:20:07
◼
