Holiday Movie Review: 'Red One', 'Our Little Secret' & 'The Merry Gentlemen'

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,720
Hey and welcome, I'm Noah always
on the naughty list and that's

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,240
Derek also always on the naughty
list and you're listening to a

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,520
bite of today, Red one and maybe
other holiday movies.

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,200
Why not?
Who knows, It's going to be a

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,560
present for all.
I would.

6
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:23,020
Like to take a stand against
what was just said.

7
00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:26,300
I don't believe I'm always on
the naughty list.

8
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:32,420
I think that I am cherubic.
I am an Angel.

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,160
I am benevolent.
Did you say?

10
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:38,800
Kubrick cherubic.
Oh, like a cherub.

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,840
Oh, I kind of said the same
thing twice.

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,720
OK, Like he's checking his list
twice.

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,760
Like he's a liar on the naughty
list.

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,600
I'm just very nice.
I mean, I'm so nice that I

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,240
really can't even think of a lot
of adjectives that say how nice

16
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,160
it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Oh, so nice.

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,800
We're not going to talk about
the ethical dilemma.

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,040
Though he is naughty, we're.
Not going to talk about the

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,480
ethical dilemmas of the naughty
and nice.

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,520
Little call Call in your
stockings.

21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,960
But we figured we started the
year off with the Chris Evans

22
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:11,000
spy ROM com and we're going to
end the year with the Chris

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,440
Evans.
Also spy ROM com.

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:18,200
Holiday espionage movie.
That's more accurate.

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,200
We're bookending our 2024 with
Chris Evans, which isn't the

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,520
worst thing.
Or is it?

27
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,640
We'll figure it out by the end
of this episode.

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Before before we get into
everything, make sure it's the

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,800
end of the year.

00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,840

But also I do want to just take

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,520
a second all of the people that
did do all of those things this

34
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,000
year and we're so kind and
reached, reached out and you

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
made 2024 pretty spectacular.
Every year has gotten better,

36
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,360
more opportunities because of
you guys and we take you along

37
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,760
with us.
So thanks.

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,240
Yeah, thank you so much.
And just even something as

39
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,400
simple as leaving a comment just
makes us so happy.

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,560
Spoilers ahead for Red.
One red 1.

41
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,720
Possibly our little secret, the
Lindsay Lohan.

42
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:11,640
And The Merry Gentleman, the
Chad Michael Murray Netflix

43
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:13,400
film.
We have some things to talk

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,160
about.
Man, All right, anyway.

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,440
Anyway, let us officially take a
bite of Red 1, written by Chris

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,880
Morgan and Hiram Garcia and
directed by Jake Kasdan.

47
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,080
A doubter of Santa since he's a
Little 1, Jack now spends his

48
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,960
time on the top of the naughty
list working with Ne'er Do Wells

49
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,200
of the World.
Little does he know, after

50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,120
sending the coordinates for
seismic activity to a client, he

51
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,840
has actually sent the location
of the magical North Pole to one

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,520
of Santa's nemeses.
The man in red is kidnapped and

53
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,680
his number one elf bodyguard.
Cal tracks down Jack and brings

54
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,520
him along on an action-packed
adventure to save Santa and

55
00:02:54,520 --> 00:03:00,000
Christmas hours before the sun
rises on the present packed day.

56
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,800
Cool.
That's red one.

57
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,080
Yeah.
All right, so.

58
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,600
So what did you think?
OK.

59
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,560
I was ready to jump in.
I'm.

60
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,920
I'm so ready.
OK, I, I think we typically

61
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:19,800
don't like to talk about movies
that we know there's nothing

62
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,120
good to say.
Or we will talk about movies

63
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,160
where it's like it's not great,
but like it was fun.

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,760
That's one of these movies.
It's better than Ghosted, but

65
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,960
that's a very low bar.
Well, you know, I've been really

66
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,200
thinking about this.
I don't know if I think it's

67
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,280
better than Ghosted.
OK, I don't say it's necessarily

68
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,440
worse.
Just don't know if I don't know.

69
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,760
But like, but like, let's look
at the cast for a second, right?

70
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,040
JK Simmons, Chris Evans, Dwayne
the Rock Johnson, Lucy Liu,

71
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,960
Bonnie Hunt, Christopher Hiju,
Nick Kroll, Kiernan Shipka.

72
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,960
I mean like, these are a
fantastic names.

73
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,960
Yeah, but you know what?
It's weird.

74
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,560
Tell me I, Chris Evans didn't do
it for me in this.

75
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,960
This this one.
It was it was some odd choices,

76
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,400
which we'll get into.
You know who did do it?

77
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,120
Lucy Liu, I thought she was
great, like she was consistent

78
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,080
throughout this whole movie.
Jacob Sibbons playing Santa,

79
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,080
even though he was asleep for
most of the movie.

80
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,360
Alter did it for me.
Everybody else was kind of

81
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:21,040
themselves.
Yeah, I think like right The

82
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,160
Rock did in an action type
movie, what we think The Rock is

83
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,960
going to do.
Yeah, I don't.

84
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,560
So holiday movies in general,
right.

85
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,000
This is coined as a holiday
movie.

86
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,120
And I think one of the things
that we struggled with was who

87
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,240
is this for?
Because there was moments where

88
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,760
it's like, oh, like especially
at the beginning, this kid that

89
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,720
doesn't believe in Santa, when
he grows up, he's going to

90
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,200
believe in Santa.
It's like, this is a family

91
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,640
movie.
And then there was like, curse

92
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,040
words and like, I don't know,
just jokes that in situations

93
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,320
that were like, this might be
for adults, but also I'm not

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,000
sure.
Yeah, I think when you're at the

95
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,640
North Pole in these types of
movies, finish the sentence, you

96
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,960
you get the feeling of like,
this is a family friendly movie.

97
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,480
This is for a family, right?
And so a good chunk of this

98
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,080
movie does play take place in
the North Pole, but there was a

99
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,760
lot of like cursing and like you
said, jokes and so probably

100
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,720
throw them like who is this for?
I was thinking like, is this,

101
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,840
you know how there's that big
debate of whether Die Hard is a

102
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:29,280
Christmas movie or not?
They were like, let's make a Die

103
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,200
hard that is 100% unquestionably
a Christmas.

104
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,040
Movie and nowhere near as good
as Die Hard.

105
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,760
Well, 100% I'm not saying they
succeeded in that way.

106
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,840
I just found myself.
Is that like, so here's my

107
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:48,080
comparison of this and ghosted.
And again, they're not really

108
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,120
similar in a way, but.
He deserves the comparison Fair.

109
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,080
Ghosted.
I was able to sit through Read

110
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,200
1.
I started baking blondies for

111
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,240
our holiday party at work.
You know what I mean?

112
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,960
And so I was paying attention.
We have an open concept, you

113
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,280
know, so I could still see the
TV, but it I didn't have to

114
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:11,000
watch every single bit of it.
That that makes sense.

115
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,720
I think once you figure out what
it's about, you're like, oh, I

116
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,600
get it.
Like I I know the rest of this

117
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,640
movie and ghosted fell into that
same trap.

118
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,720
But I feel like the issue with
the both of these movies, and

119
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:24,600
again, only reason why we're
comparing it is because Chris

120
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,920
Evans is in both of them.
And it's both of our movies

121
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,880
where it was like we're talking
about it, but it's like not a

122
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,560
great movie, but like also watch
it.

123
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,120
Yeah, because it's a bizarre
movie.

124
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,040
And I just feel like for both of
them and this one specifically,

125
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,760
it didn't feel enough like a
holiday movie and didn't feel

126
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,960
enough like an action movie.
There was some action sequences

127
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,160
where I was impressed that they
were in the movie I was

128
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,640
currently watching.
But that's like the extent of

129
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,000
it.
There was a lot of I'm not sure

130
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,040
why this is happening or like
that's too much like they try to

131
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,360
make it at like a like the
Christmas and mythological

132
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,560
things like there's like
organizations and stuff.

133
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,240
It was almost too much world
building for a movie like this

134
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,200
and for it to be over two hours
is a hard.

135
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,880
Ass Yeah.
And you know, it's one of those

136
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:21,480
things where like, like when you
think of the movie Elf, which is

137
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,160
one of my favorite holiday
movies, they they give enough

138
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:32,120
winks and nods to like common
Santa mythology that you're

139
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,040
like, oh, that's cute.
I love that.

140
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,240
That's great, right?
We have the book of the naughty

141
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,840
list and all that stuff.
Whereas in this it was like too

142
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,280
much.
There's a part where Santa Claus

143
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,480
is lifting weights and after he
lifts weights, he eats a cookie.

144
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,080
Right.
And you were a little upset.

145
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,800
You were like.
You're like.

146
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,240
This is ridiculous.
Santa doesn't only eat cookies.

147
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,600
This is going too far.
And at 1st and I was kind of

148
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,240
like oh it's not a big deal,
blah blah blah blah.

149
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:07,440
But then later in the movie we
find out that Missus Claus is

150
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,640
actually a shape shifting body
double because she says she just

151
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,160
baked macaroons for Santa and
Santa doesn't like macaroons.

152
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,200
Now I think I would have been OK
with that if at some point

153
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,000
someone handed him a macaroon
and he was like no thanks.

154
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,400
But like came out of nowhere.
Well I just want to say I didn't

155
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,080
have that bad of a reaction.
I was upset but you made it seem

156
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,039
like this is the worst.
Well, did you throw a tantrum?

157
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:42,679
No, yes, I voiced my grievances.
So the so I guess to to your

158
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,560
point, yeah, they I think they
played into some of those

159
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,400
holiday tropes a little too
much.

160
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,360
It's like, OK, I guess Santa
only eats cookies and drinks

161
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,360
milk.
Like, that's weird.

162
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:58,360
I wasn't mad that JK Simmons was
like, you could see his arms and

163
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,480
was lifting weights.
I'm like, yeah, cool, great.

164
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,200
Love this.
But the cookie thing, I don't

165
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,920
know why was a step too far for
me.

166
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,000
It just pushed you over the
edge.

167
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,280
Because I was like, this is
dumb.

168
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,400
Like OK, you can't get that
built off of cookies and milk.

169
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,080
I, you know, I really, it's so
funny with movies like this

170
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:23,200
because and it's, I'm like,
yeah, Santa Claus and, you know,

171
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,680
awesome giant reindeer and elf
security guards and like that

172
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:31,360
I'm on board with.
But then just certain little

173
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,640
details.
I was like, oh, come on, that's

174
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,480
ridiculous.
Oh, oh wait, can I talk about my

175
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,720
big grievance?
Sure, it's your show too, so.

176
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:45,880
So the Chris Evans character,
Jack has a kid, right?

177
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,760
So he and the mom are not
together.

178
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,480
I don't think they were ever
together or anything like that,

179
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,640
Dylan.
And so the mom is, she's a

180
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,400
doctor.
And so she calls him and he's

181
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,280
kind of like drunk and he's
always kind of doing bad stuff.

182
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,040
And she's like, look, I'm at the
hospital.

183
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,880
I have two women in labor.
Their contractions are XY and Z.

184
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,840
You just got to go pick your kid
up from school and he's like,

185
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,600
oh, OK, fine.
He goes to pick the kid up from

186
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,360
school and when he gets to the
house she's at the house and

187
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,720
she's like showered out of.
Like, well, to be fair, I think

188
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,960
she was still in her scrubs, but
she was home.

189
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,240
No, she wasn't.
She was wearing a red sweater.

190
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,640
So it confusing.
So that for me, we all know if

191
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,080
you've listened to the podcast
for a long time, I always have

192
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,800
problem with timelines, right?
Like, I don't know, I have AI

193
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,360
know, I say it as a joke.
I have a theater minor, right?

194
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,200
And so one of the things one of
my teachers always said to me

195
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,920
was like, I hate in shows when
they're handed a cup of coffee

196
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,640
and you can clearly tell that
there's nothing in the cup,

197
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,880
right, right.
It's like, why not just put

198
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,360
something in the cup so that it
looks weighted, right?

199
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,320
So it makes it look more real.
And this to.

200
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,600
Me.
Right.

201
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,920
It is like usually like in it's
a go cup and when they put it

202
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,120
down you can hear that it's
empty.

203
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,240
So it's like, why in this did we
make this big stink about him

204
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,600
needing to go pick up the kid
and then 15 minutes later she's

205
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,000
home?
Yeah, I think.

206
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,760
I mean, I don't think they
thought anybody would care.

207
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,320
It is one of those things where
you think about it because

208
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,840
that's what we're doing now.
That's part of our thing, is

209
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,640
that we tend to overanalyze
things, but that's why we do it.

210
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,480
That was one of the things.
You as soon as she was there,

211
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,800
you went.
She's home.

212
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:27,920
What?
What?

213
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,280
What?
What?

214
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,760
And you know what make it I
would.

215
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,840
Look, I get it, he should go
pick up his kid, but why not it

216
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,120
be something like I got it.
Look, I just got back from doing

217
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,240
all the shopping and I had a
overnight shift at the hospital.

218
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,480
Can you just go pick him up?
Well.

219
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,160
That's essentially what did
happen, but for some reason she

220
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,880
was already home.
It's just, it is bizarre.

221
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,400
It's really bizarre.
I mean I think this movie, it

222
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,760
has a lot going on and has too
much going on because I feel

223
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,760
like I should have either went
the wholesome route or the

224
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,240
actiony route.
The blending of the two for this

225
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,280
specifically didn't really work
too well.

226
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:08,360
And I think for me when it
really like jumped the shark in

227
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,880
a movie like this, we have to
talk about gorilla, gorilla,

228
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,680
gorilla.
I feel like 3 different people

229
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:17,040
said a different ways in this
movie.

230
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,760
Gorilla.
Yeah, I think Gorilla is right.

231
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,760
So she's the Christmas witch?
Yeah, she's a Nordic witch.

232
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,800
Icelandic.
No, Who cares?

233
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,000
Scandinavia.
She is a Christmas witch that

234
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,600
has dated Krampus at one point
or another.

235
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,920
Oh, and Krampus is Santa Claus's
brother.

236
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:41,000
Yes family tree here this second
that she turned into the

237
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,720
Christmas witch.
I said OK like this was this is

238
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:50,840
some power Ranger villain like I
what the the choker like I what

239
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,480
are we doing OK.
I see.

240
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:53,800
Yes, yes, yes.
OK.

241
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,880
So for a second I thought when
you meant she changed into like

242
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,080
the actual giant troll version.
Of no witch, I'm going to get to

243
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,240
that.
Oh, that was bad too.

244
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Yes, because she was a blonde
Sabrina the teenage witch then

245
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,680
turned into straight black hair,
wasn't really menacing because

246
00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:15,960
it's still the same character,
and then turned into some old

247
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:22,200
giant CGI hag.
What I was fine with the final,

248
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:26,160
the final transformation.
It's weird like in in the lore

249
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,320
that's what Grilla looks like.
Great, Didn't like.

250
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,800
It grill late right I.
Like I was just like when she

251
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,480
transformed into that, I was
just like, oh, this is getting

252
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,160
weird.
This whole thing is getting

253
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,800
weird.
Like, I don't care.

254
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,920
Does that make sense?
Yeah, yeah.

255
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,960
So you had mentioned that you
had enjoyed some of the action

256
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,520
scenes.
Is there one that sticks out to

257
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,600
you in particular?
I did like the one where they

258
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,240
were actually taking Santa, like
kidnapping him and the Rock had

259
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,480
to forgot his name.
In the movie Elf Cow, Cow, Cow

260
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,760
the Rock, the elf was chasing
after them.

261
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,080
And like, working with the North
Pole, that was.

262
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,280
That's fine.
Yeah.

263
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,600
Yeah, but what about you?
I enjoyed the final fight.

264
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,640
I liked because you know me, I'm
always like when when the

265
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,560
animals get the upper hand, I
enjoy that.

266
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,120
So Santa has like some really
cool like bellowing call that he

267
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,880
does to bring the reindeer in
and so they come in and they

268
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,800
with their like glowing antlers,
which was also very cool.

269
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,520
They end up putting gorilla into
a a snow globe.

270
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,000
The reindeer were probably the
best part of the entire movie.

271
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,360
Yeah.
Chris Evans, we need to have a

272
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,320
talk about your accent.
It wasn't consistent.

273
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,240
It was also very odd.
I think he was from Brooklyn.

274
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,360
He was doing like he was doing
like an accent like this.

275
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,480
There was one time, there was
one time, I can't remember what

276
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,120
it was.
I think it would.

277
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,000
He was first introduced to the
world and like maybe Lucy Liu's

278
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,560
character was like, I don't
know, but something happened.

279
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,840
The bear, the polar bear, which
is very cute.

280
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:02,400
He went, what are we doing here?
And I was like, that's do you?

281
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,680
Do you hear yourself?
It was a choice.

282
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,960
It was.
Odd.

283
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,480
Like I know he he can kind of
play with accents like that a

284
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,120
little bit.
Like, you know what it felt like

285
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,400
to me, it kind of felt like
watching like Mark Wahlberg

286
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,880
upping his, upping his like.
Accent.

287
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,360
His Bostonian accent.
You know it like that's what it

288
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,520
felt like to me.
It was like, you don't sound

289
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,800
like that, but I know there's
something there, yeah.

290
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,760
You know, it was just and I feel
like I didn't notice it at

291
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,480
first, but then like.
In that scene.

292
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,920
I would say 1/4 of the way
through the movie I was like,

293
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,720
wait, what is he doing?
Yeah, that's interesting.

294
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,840
So the the red 1 and I would say
maybe watch it.

295
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,680
It's like, OK, like it's a fun
time.

296
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,520
Just don't expect expect many
moments of like Nick Kroll being

297
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,040
possessed by the Christmas
switch, but like Nick Kroll

298
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,120
himself talking via through her
and it like lasts way too long.

299
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:56,800
Yeah.
And it was.

300
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,880
That was an interesting thing
for me as well because, as we

301
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:05,960
know, because of his work, he
could do like, tons of voices.

302
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,200
Yeah.
And then he just did this like,

303
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:13,400
weird sort of demonic voice for
some reason, I don't know, in

304
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,920
Aruba.
Any final words of red 1 before

305
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,600
we switch to the other two to do
like a rapid fire mini?

306
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,120
Yeah, so all I I do, I want to
know what people think of this.

307
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,760
Like I feel like with Wicked, I
want you to just tell me how

308
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,840
much you cried.
And I want to know that you felt

309
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,360
the exact same way as me with
this one.

310
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,120
Like me.
I'm like, maybe I'm just not

311
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,920
like a espionage Action Y kind
of guy, and maybe I didn't get

312
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,200
it.
I don't know, I feel like you

313
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,280
are though.
You've been really enjoying

314
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,080
James Bond.
That's.

315
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,160
Well, that's because it's campy,
though It's.

316
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,960
So campy and also just horrible.
But did not age well.

317
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,320
For me, no, it didn't age well,
yeah.

318
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,920
That's true.
Like tell us, is there any red

319
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,760
one stands?
I know.

320
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,720
I feel like on YouTube we're
going to be like, oh, they're

321
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,440
going to be like, actually Red 1
is a play.

322
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,520
I love that for you.
Wasn't for us.

323
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,319
Wasn't for us, but I.
Wouldn't mind watching it again

324
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,480
with more people just to be like
guys.

325
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,440
Yeah, they could probably do
like a very modern Mystery

326
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,319
Science Theater 3000 with this
movie.

327
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:16,000
Oh.
My God, we totally could.

328
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,200
So on to our next.
Holiday, we're going to get

329
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,200
better.
We watched a few.

330
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,680
You know, we really wanted to
fit Hot Frosty into this.

331
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,960
We unfortunately were unable to
do that.

332
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,000
Maybe we'll do that for Patreon,
but Hot Frosty to be determined.

333
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,280
So our little secret Lindsay
Lohan.

334
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,640
Out of these three, this holy
unholy Trinity of holiday

335
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,280
current movies was the best for
me personally.

336
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,520
I thought our little secret.
I'm like, oh, give me Kristin

337
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,440
Chenoweth being an absolute
jerk.

338
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,240
Give me Lindsay Lohan and her
prime again.

339
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,600
Giving me like ROM com, giving
me funny, giving me the things I

340
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,480
missed about her.
Loved it.

341
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,920
I am so on board with these
Lindsay Lohan Netflix movies

342
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,760
like Irish Wish.
Loved it.

343
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,200
Still awkward to say, yeah.
Irish wish.

344
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,000
Irish wish?
Irish wish?

345
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,440
It makes you want to yeah,
culturally appropriate the

346
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,640
language.
Exactly.

347
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,840
So with our little secret, it
feels very much along the same

348
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,440
vein.
It's it's a ROM com.

349
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,040
You know exactly where it's
going to go.

350
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,400
You know it exactly, but it's
delivering and I was OK with it.

351
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,000
I laughed.
I had a great time.

352
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:33,800
Do I think that there was like,
you know, instances where I was

353
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,400
like, OK, this is like, silly.
Like when she ate all those

354
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,720
cookies because she was high.
It's like, well, why'd you blame

355
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,360
it on the dog?
Like, that's rude.

356
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,000
But then you have to be, oh,
it's a ROM com.

357
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,280
Like, of course, there has to be
like, outrageous situations

358
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,160
where, like, if this would
actually happen, like if I got

359
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,520
high, we were going to church
and I said I was going to do a

360
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,120
reading.
Yeah, I would be absolutely

361
00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:58,120
terrified.
Would I eat all the cookies?

362
00:18:58,120 --> 00:19:01,040
Also yes.
But I would be scared.

363
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,400
I would be scared that Chris and
Chenoweth would get mad at.

364
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,160
Me, at that point, I would just
leave, right, Right.

365
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,800
I would just leave.
She's going to scream at me.

366
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,400
What did you think about the ROM
comness of it though?

367
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,320
Like they were together, they
broke up because she was

368
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,400
leaving, and then they meet
again because they're

369
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,960
significant.
Others are related.

370
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,840
Yeah, I loved it because I, I
like that.

371
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,960
I like knowing what's going to
happen and I like seeing how

372
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,520
it's going to happen, right?
Because from the beginning we

373
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,880
know that they're meant for each
other.

374
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,440
And so the fact that they're
going to come back together

375
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,480
again, we now get to see their
chemistry, how the sparks are

376
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,440
going to fly and when they're
going to finally realize that

377
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,480
they're the one for the other.
Right.

378
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,720
It's like, oh God, when are they
going to get back together?

379
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,000
But then you're like, Oh my God,
And they're like, they're

380
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:51,880
falling in love again.
Oh.

381
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,000
My God.
See, they were meant to be all

382
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,400
along.
Yeah.

383
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,560
So I think I like that part of
it.

384
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,920
Did you as well?
Yeah, I mean, of course I did.

385
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,160
This reminds me, you know,
there's been quite a few

386
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,280
actually really good ROM coms
this year.

387
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,600
You know, we got what was the
one.

388
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,160
With Sidney Sweeney and Glenn
Powell.

389
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,880
Oh, yes and no.
Anyone but you.

390
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,400
Anyone but you.
That one was really good.

391
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,200
That right?
Yeah.

392
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,160
Wow.
That because I think it's based

393
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,560
off of.
Much Ado about nothing, yes?

394
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,520
Loved, loved it.
Irish wish.

395
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,600
Loved it.
Yeah.

396
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,480
Give me more of these.
And also give me art house.

397
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,320
Give me the complicated movies.
Like there has to be a good

398
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,640
balance that we're getting.
Yeah.

399
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,440
And I feel like Red 1 is too
much this way, whereas our

400
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,240
little secret knows exactly what
it's trying to be, you know?

401
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:42,960
Yeah, I agree.
I agree.

402
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:49,400
And I think, like I will say, I
think my one thing with Our

403
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:54,600
Little Secret is that it didn't
necessarily feel as Christmassy

404
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,480
as a Christmas movie could feel.
Red 1 felt more Christmassy.

405
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,400
Yeah, mostly because Santa was
in it.

406
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,960
Yes, this was all like leading
up to Christmas.

407
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:04,800
It was.
Holiday.

408
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,040
Yeah.
And so, like, they went to

409
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,560
church, a church pageant, right?
And they had just some

410
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,360
traditions that they did
together.

411
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:16,400
There's a lot of sweaters.
Lots of sweaters and, you know,

412
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,080
but, but yeah, I think like you
said, Kristin Chenoweth is

413
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,880
definitely the star.
Who played the male lead?

414
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,160
His name is Ian Harding.
He's cute.

415
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,400
Yeah, there's a whole subplot in
in this movie where Ian

416
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,240
Harding's character Logan is
trying to prove himself at work,

417
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,160
and he has a real big project to
do.

418
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,720
And you And it just turns out
that Lindsay Lohan's character

419
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,080
is like a project manager.
Stupid.

420
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,920
Yeah, I didn't need it, but it
was like that was a thing to get

421
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,360
them to work together.
Fine.

422
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,320
You know what you did point out
which you were like, I don't

423
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,600
understand this And it's like it
is a ROM com thing.

424
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:56,760
You don't question it is she was
leaving from work, suitcase and

425
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:01,960
all from a holiday party to get
on a plane or travel to the

426
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,840
thing.
It's a staple.

427
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,680
I don't know why they do it and
what started that.

428
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,560
I would never personally take
all my luggage with me, go to

429
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,520
work and then leave work to then
travel.

430
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,800
I take 1/2 day the day before
I'm supposed to travel to make

431
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,440
sure I'm packed.
Yes, and then leave.

432
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,480
Yes 100% I, I, I, I remember
that being a sticking point for

433
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,480
me mainly probably because I
just would never do it.

434
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,440
But I also feel like with work
from home opportunities you

435
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,520
might she might have been able
to work something out.

436
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,120
That is true I guess.
She's she's a big wink at the

437
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:41,120
company, I think.
Sure, I guess show anything on

438
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,920
our little secret before we move
on to our last one.

439
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,640
My final review of Our Little
Secret is a ROM com delight with

440
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,000
a hint of holiday.
And Kristen Chenoweth, yeah,

441
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,880
more of her, too.
And love.

442
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,360
Her would love it.
Yeah, yeah.

443
00:22:56,120 --> 00:22:57,920
Before we get into our our last
what?

444
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:00,880
I don't know.
I was like, it's this one, Yeah.

445
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,440
Before we get into our last one,
we have we have like a

446
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,600
interesting cookie sandwich
going on.

447
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,760
It's like red one, our little
secret.

448
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,320
Not bad.
Merry little gentleman, What is?

449
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,760
It just the merry gentleman.
Merry little gentleman.

450
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,600
Nobody was little on this.
Wowzers.

451
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:28,120
Before we get into that one,
what makes a holiday movie for

452
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:30,760
you?
Like, what are the things you

453
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,800
look for in a holiday movie that
you like?

454
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,840
Does that make sense?
Am I asking you a question that

455
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,240
makes sense?
Yeah, yeah.

456
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,600
OK.
So here are my things OK, ready.

457
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,800
No, no, it what it what it
really is for me is it's it's

458
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,800
the heartwarming feeling, the
Grinch by the by the end of it,

459
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,600
I want to feel warm and toasty,
like I just had a nice warm cup

460
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,040
of cocoa.
Right.

461
00:23:56,120 --> 00:24:00,800
And so with like Elf, come on,
just the final one.

462
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,360
Some of the final scenes of Elf
make me cry every time I watch

463
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:04,840
it.
And we watch it every year.

464
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,360
I got something like the holiday
with Cameron Diaz and Jude Law

465
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:13,560
and just Jack Black, Jack Black
and Kate Winslet.

466
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,640
It's just, I don't know, the
music in it is so perfect and

467
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,120
the balance between the two
stories is so perfect.

468
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:24,160
And the ending, just how warm it
makes you feel and how happy

469
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,960
that there's love, whether it's
familial love, romantic love.

470
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,560
That is what makes me feel like
a holiday movie.

471
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,800
I.
Get that I, I think I'm in the

472
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,400
same boat like I I like because
I could go for a movie that

473
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,680
takes place during the holidays
but is like horror or a drama.

474
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,480
I could go for that.
But I do think that like the

475
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,400
thing that it needs is you
either need it to fulfill that

476
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,080
stress and mayhem of like
families getting together.

477
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,040
You need to fulfill that.
Then what was the one, the queer

478
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,040
1 where was like all seasons or
all seasons or something like

479
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,360
that?
That 1 was great because it

480
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:04,680
wasn't a typical holiday movie.
So I'm also open to new ones.

481
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,920
But I think across the board,
what makes it good, at least for

482
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,360
us, is that heart warming.
Yeah.

483
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,400
By the end of it, they need to
learn a lesson.

484
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,720
It just happens to be on
Christmas and it happens to

485
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,840
coincide with what Christmas
means or the holidays, you know.

486
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,720
Like perfect example is actually
a movie that Noah introduced me

487
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,920
to probably about 3 or 4 years
ago, which I've never seen

488
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,920
before is White Christmas.
Oh, yeah.

489
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,960
And just the chemistry between
Bing Crosby and Rosemary

490
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,240
Clooney.
There's one scene in it that

491
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,600
always sticks out to me.
And it's actually just they're

492
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,440
both up late and they go to get
a sandwich and I think like some

493
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,800
milk or something like that.
And it's just like these little

494
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,480
tender moments between them.
It's like, Oh my gosh.

495
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,080
I mean, the dancing and the
performing, and it is just

496
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,440
freaking amazing.
But that love, right?

497
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:01,040
Because I don't know, for me at
least, there's no warmer feeling

498
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,960
for the holidays than being with
the one that you love.

499
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,280
Oh God, so, so sweet.
Yeah, no, that's true.

500
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:16,200
No, wow, OK, wow.
Just burying my holiday soul

501
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,840
here is.
Fine on a movie, on a episode

502
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,280
that we're talking about Red
Wand.

503
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,040
But you asked me a very loaded
question, OK?

504
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,520
I agree.
No, that's I'm just like in my

505
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:35,800
head.
I think I'm already trying to

506
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,280
prepare to talk about the next
one.

507
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:38,880
I.
Feel like we should have ended

508
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,560
with this question instead of
right now.

509
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:47,560
No, the reason why I asked that
is because neither of us said

510
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,400
Chad Michael Murray in a strip
show.

511
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,080
So Married Little Gentleman, or
what was it?

512
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,200
The merry gentleman.
The little the merry gentleman.

513
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:02,160
It sounds like it needs a little
or something.

514
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,880
The merry big gentleman.
I don't know.

515
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,240
It sounds gross.
I again not sure where who this

516
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,440
movie is for because it's not
sexy enough.

517
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,880
Agreed.
And not enough drama.

518
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,920
And it also makes no sense of
why this woman just comes into

519
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,840
this bar and is like, I'm going
to do this.

520
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,280
Yeah.
You know, yeah.

521
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:28,440
So the way that Red 1 smashed
together espionage and

522
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,120
Christmas, this one tries to
smash together Magic Mike and

523
00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:34,080
Christmas.
And I think you're right.

524
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,920
You hit the nail on the head in
the sense that it wasn't sexy

525
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:40,600
enough.
It kind of like everything sort

526
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,280
of just fell flat.
Out of the three main merry

527
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,920
gentlemen, only one of them
really had rhythm.

528
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,840
You know what I mean?
Like Chad Michael Murray, like

529
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,280
can't really dance, you know?
And then even the Roger who

530
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,920
plays the brother-in-law of
Ashley by who's played by Britt

531
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,400
Robinson, like he's fine.
Like obviously Troy is a

532
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:02,720
professional dancer.
Right.

533
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,800
And you can tell it was like,
oh, we're going to use these

534
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,480
people to like dance, but we're
not going to teach these other

535
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,480
actors how to dance.
And again, they're all

536
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,400
attractive, right?
They're objectively attractive.

537
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,880
They have great bodies.
It's just it did feel joyless.

538
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:23,000
It felt Christmas less, you
know, I don't know, it just it

539
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,840
was missing something.
But like it felt like it was

540
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,960
supposed to be a Hallmark movie,
but like didn't realize it was a

541
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,320
Hallmark movie.
Yes, because this was a Netflix.

542
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,920
Yeah, Netflix original, right,
OK.

543
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,680
Why not be sexy?
Go on Netflix like you can do

544
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,000
anything you want.
There was that weird 1 scene

545
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,400
where they ripped their pants
off and they were wearing

546
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,880
stockings on their wieners.
They all had pants on the

547
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,440
entire.
Time.

548
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,840
The entire time.
I didn't see a bulge once.

549
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,200
No, just saying.
You saw pecks?

550
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,960
Cool.
I can see pecks anywhere.

551
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,640
Yeah.
I can draw pecks exactly.

552
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:02,600
I can't draw a ball.
A Christmas ball, let alone.

553
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,080
Jingle, Jingle, Jingle.
Yeah.

554
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,480
And of course, OK.
So then I put on my analytical

555
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,560
hat and I just didn't think the
stakes were high enough, right?

556
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,840
So she's trying to she's trying
to save her family's bar slash.

557
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,960
It was her family.
Yeah, it's her parents.

558
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:25,280
Yeah, most of that, yeah.
I literally thought she used to

559
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,000
go to this bar and she's like,
I'm going to help these guys

560
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,240
because they're wow, OK, now it
doesn't make it better, it just

561
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,800
makes more sense.
OK, so there.

562
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,880
So at least there's that anchor
there for you, right?

563
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,080
Of why she's doing what she's
doing.

564
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,960
But the thing that bothered me
the most is that so the whole

565
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,360
story is, is that she is like,
basically a Rockette, right?

566
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,800
But they don't call them
Rockettes.

567
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,080
Yeah.
And so she gets let go, and she

568
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,040
goes back home, and she decides
to save her family's bar and use

569
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,800
her dancing talents with these
men.

570
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,760
Now she's there for maybe a
week, right?

571
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,480
And then the Rockettes call her
and they're like, hey, we want

572
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,600
you back.
And she's like, all right,

573
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,320
great.
And then she tells them, and

574
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,880
they're like, you're a traitor.
You're the worst person on the

575
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,760
face of the earth.
I can't believe you're doing

576
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,520
this to us.
You've let everyone down and

577
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,360
ruin Christmas.
I literally when she got that

578
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,880
call, the first thing I said is
I swear to God, if they get mad

579
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,600
at her for this, I'm going to be
upset.

580
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,960
And they got mad and I got
upset.

581
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,760
Yeah, I you.
Guys can do the choreo without

582
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:26,560
her.
Can they?

583
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,160
Because they still couldn't.
I She wasn't that great of a

584
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,480
dancer because it didn't rub
off, but sorry.

585
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,320
Her teaching skill, this is.
The end of the year where we're

586
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,440
just very open about.
They're like something has

587
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,760
happened with Derek and Noah.
They're very negative.

588
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,600
There are on the naughty list.
They're Scrooge.

589
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,200
Bah humbug.
There's some movies where this

590
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,760
is OK, This is one of them.
Also, it was weird that she was

591
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,960
like, this is something I've
always wanted to do.

592
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,480
It's like you were just doing
it.

593
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,360
And like was like such a long
running member of the Rockettes

594
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,160
that that's why they let her go.
What was she like too old?

595
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,320
I I think there was like some
weird insinuating that she might

596
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,800
be like a little too old.
Like it's like Menudo, they get

597
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,160
rid of you once you're a certain
age.

598
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,000
She overstayed her welcome.
I went like the band, yes.

599
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,720
Exactly.
Don't hear about them often.

600
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,800
What's the like horrifying
documentary that was released

601
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,480
about the group?
You know, movie is good is when

602
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,400
we're starting to recommend
awful boy band documentary.

603
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,400
Well, the the.
Documentary was good, what

604
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,520
happened to the boy band was
horrific.

605
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,560
Right, right.
You know, I honestly, I was

606
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,200
excited to watch this movie
because of Chad Michael Murray,

607
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,680
who didn't have a crush on Chad.
I did not.

608
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,520
OK.
Who didn't aside from Derek?

609
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,720
I mean, I didn't, but I was
like, he's attractive.

610
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,680
You know, I was like these.
Yeah, of course.

611
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,160
Especially at the time of, like,
who was on TV.

612
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,760
It's like he's obviously a
commodity.

613
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,520
Interesting.
It wasn't a draw after it

614
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,120
started.
So I would say Netflix, you

615
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:06,160
either really need to lean into
the Lindsay Lohan stuff of it or

616
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,920
really go Hallmark.
I just go absurd.

617
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,600
Have Vanessa Hutchins play six
different.

618
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,000
Parts which they did well,
right.

619
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,840
And they also have like all the
Lacey I went to Hallmark movies.

620
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:24,000
Well, but what I mean, which
they've done and did well enough

621
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,880
that they made three of them.
What if they make merry the

622
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,960
merry gentleman again like what
if they do it again and she goes

623
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,400
to a different town the.
Still merry gentleman.

624
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,760
Yeah, the the merrier gentleman.
Oh, that's good magic, merry

625
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,840
gentlemen.
Just make it better, make it

626
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,240
sexier.
Yeah, we want it hot.

627
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:44,680
That's what I want for
Christmas.

628
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,200
If you're going to promise
stripping, you better strip.

629
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,320
Yeah.
You know, And they also did,

630
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,760
like, one show.
Two shows, maybe.

631
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:56,480
Anyway, OK, so wrapping.
Let's wrap up my merry, merry

632
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,680
gentlemen.
The title.

633
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,640
We need to rewrite this.
Is OK I will say this one this

634
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,680
is the skip it I feel so.
Bad.

635
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,640
We're not hurting Netflix.
No, but people made it and it's

636
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,040
like just see it.
If you want a fun time of like,

637
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,960
not a serious movie, but like if
that kind of thing annoys you,

638
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,320
absolutely skip it.
Like it's not good.

639
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,920
It's not good.
It's like milk that's been left

640
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,040
out for way too long.
It's like that was Christmas Eve

641
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,360
last night.
You know what?

642
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,720
Yes.
So this is your assignment.

643
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,120
Watch all three of these movies,
and then you tell us what you

644
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,760
thought.
Yeah, Please.

645
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,160
Yeah.
Do that and then.

646
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,440
If there's a merry gentleman
stand out there, I want to meet

647
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,880
them.
I'm not laughing at you.

648
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,680
I'm laughing because of the
movie choice that you're

649
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,000
deciding to stand.
No, not me.

650
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,280
No.
Oh them, them.

651
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,360
This is our most controversial
episode ever.

652
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,880
OK, if you stayed with us
through this mayhem of an

653
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,280
episode, we are literally we're
like about to leave for a like

654
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,520
holiday break.
We're going down to Texas.

655
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,560
So we wanted to have one more
episode with you guys to end the

656
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,800
year.
Been a wild year.

657
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,000
There's still movies we need to
catch up on.

658
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,120
Award season is happening.
Oh well, that's not your

659
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,880
favorite holiday movie.
I was just going to say that

660
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,199
that's what I want to know.
Thanks for hanging out with us

661
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:25,159
this year.
Let's make 2025 even better.

662
00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:28,400
Yeah, thank you all so, so much.
I hope you all have a lovely

663
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,080
holiday season and a beautiful
start to your 2025.

664
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,440
Yeah.
OK, body rolls.

665
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Happy holidays.
Bye.

666
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,719
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas time.

667
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:41,560
Happy holiday.
