Neighbor game. Oo.

[Doug]

And Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual. Even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.

[Caroline]

Hey, everyone, check out this guy and his bird. What is this your first date?

[Shane]

Oh, no.

[Doug]

We help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Me to a human, him to a bird.

[Shane]

Yeah, the bird looks out of your league.

[Doug]

Anyways, get a [e-mail] or with your local agent.

[Amanda]

And I'm Amanda. And we have. Wow, such a wonderful guest with us. You guys have not seen him yet on this pod. His name is Ian Hecox.

[Ian Hecox]

Right? Hello. Hi. Happy to be here. Love what you guys are doing.

[Amanda]

This is your first time on the new set?

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Oh my God. When he first walked in, he didn't know which chair to sit in.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Can you believe it?

[Shane]

He was like, do I host this show?

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, you're like the middle D. And I was like, oh, that makes sense. Cuz like the hosts and you would put the guest in the middle, I guess.

[Shane]

Yeah, yeah, that you got. You're rocking a fit today.

[Amanda]

I was going to say I love the yellow socks.

[Shane]

Both got the. We both got the selvage.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, I was looking at. I was looking at our jeans and

[Shane]

I was like, very similar. Yeah, I like the yellow socks with the dogs.

[Amanda]

If you guys are just listening, he's wearing a cool outfit.

[Ian Hecox]

Thank you. And I also have a smash shirt on, which is the coolest part of the outfit.

[Amanda]

That is so cool.

[Ian Hecox]

Got the classic smosh tee.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I'm wearing a smosh bra. It's awesome.

[Ian Hecox]

You know, we actually used to sell. Well, I won't say. I don't want to say we, but

[Shane]

back when it was just you and Anthony, back in.

[Ian Hecox]

Back in the defy days, they're on the site, they sold smosh panties.

[Amanda]

You guys are sickening.

[Ian Hecox]

And I did not. I did not condone that. Condone that.

[Shane]

You didn't know it happened.

[Amanda]

You're just sitting at your desk signing, approve, approve, approve.

[Ian Hecox]

No, that was in the defy days. And yeah, there was. There was like smosh panties. And if I recall, there was like a heart above the word smosh or

[Amanda]

something was written on the butt. Or the front.

[Ian Hecox]

That's a good, good question. I do not remember.

[Shane]

And you guys had nothing to do with the creative of it? It just. It just appeared on the site or.

[Ian Hecox]

I don't remember, cuz I feel like they used to sell like a ton of stuff that was just like slap a label on it and sell it.

[Amanda]

That's wild that they went past you and did that.

[Ian Hecox]

I mean, maybe it was Anthony. I wish I had a pair we

[Amanda]

can get you on.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay.

[Shane]

There's nothing stopping us from doing that, I guess.

[Ian Hecox]

I wonder if ebay has one.

[Amanda]

Probably.

[Shane]

Probably.

[Ian Hecox]

That'd be sick.

[Amanda]

Says, shut up.

[Shane]

That is actually really funny.

[Ian Hecox]

It'd be on the butt, cuz I fart.

[Amanda]

Sorry, I've never farted in my life.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, you should get on the fart train.

[Amanda]

I should get on the fart train?

[Shane]

Yeah, it's pretty.

[Amanda]

Imagine instead of a massage train, it's a fart train. Okay, so what's cool about today?

[Ian Hecox]

Speaking of. Speaking of farts, what are we talking about today?

[Amanda]

Okay, Ian, we know how much you love movies. You always.

[Ian Hecox]

I thought he said boobies.

[Amanda]

Well, no, we're not bringing this up. Hey, you said that you don't bring up booby stuff, but you do bring up booby stuff.

[Shane]

When did you guys have this conversation?

[Ian Hecox]

I never said booby stuff. I said that. I've never brought up. I've never brought up the breast milk thing. And every time. Every time somebody's brought up breast milk has been against my will.

[Amanda]

Okay, please.

[Ian Hecox]

Again, that. Another case. Another case where I. I thought you just said boobies. And you're like, oh, breast milk, Ian, breast milk.

[Amanda]

It's funny, I didn't actually say breast milk right here. Did you guys hear that?

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, but that's when you were inferring. No, no, because you're like, oh, the booby stuff. It's the boobies.

[Amanda]

What's crazy is I didn't say breast

[Ian Hecox]

milk and I didn't say that's what you inferred.

[Amanda]

It just keeps happening with you, you know?

[Ian Hecox]

I can't with you, Amanda.

[Amanda]

Okay, so anyways, we asked Ian because we know how much he loves movies. Movies. Randomly, he'll be like, oh, I watched this movie, you know, from the music video.

[Shane]

He'll bring up a movie that I've never heard of before in my life.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, okay, like what?

[Shane]

Oh, I. You.

[Amanda]

The Taking Pelham One two Three. The original.

[Shane]

Yes. Yeah. And then the. Recently you were talking about some. Was it an Italian or French film

[Amanda]

from, like, the Ship with the Ship.

[Shane]

I don't know.

[Amanda]

Didn't you watch an old movie with

[Ian Hecox]

the ship that's like the Battleship Potemkin. Sorry.

[Amanda]

Something like that.

[Ian Hecox]

You saw that?

[Shane]

You watch a lot of, like, foreign. Random foreign films?

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Heard of.

[Ian Hecox]

I think it's. Yeah. I think it's important to have a good. Because I watch so much media that I think it's good to have a good media diet.

[Shane]

For sure.

[Ian Hecox]

So I like to balance the crap with like, something where I feel like, oh, I'm going to, like, take something away from this.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Ian Hecox]

That's really.

[Amanda]

See, I'm at a place where I'm like, I don't want to watch crap.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Amanda]

You know, some people are like, oh, I watched this thing on Netflix. It was so cheesy. But it was a joy. It was a fun. I can't do that.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, I. Yeah, I love watching bad movies. Like, I watched. There was a. A new Alan Richson. Richson. Is that how you say his name? Richson? Rich.

[Amanda]

Richard Richardson doing what I do.

[Ian Hecox]

Whatever. It's called War Machine.

[Shane]

Nice.

[Amanda]

I wanted to watch that and it's just like. Yeah, yeah, I wanted to watch that.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. It's just like military propaganda. I want it, but with like an alien that just like.

[Amanda]

It's that big guy, right?

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

He's a guy.

[Ian Hecox]

The guy, he seems cool. Beat the. Out of his neighborhood in real life.

[Shane]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

But he deserved it.

[Shane]

Yeah. His neighbors being an asshole. So you guys know he went all reacher on him. Yeah. Out of everyone in the world.

[Ian Hecox]

Sounds like a fight with everyone in the world.

[Shane]

It's like, I'm going to pick a fight with that guy. The guy who's known for playing a guy on TV who just beats this shit.

[Amanda]

And he's massive.

[Shane]

Yeah. Fun fact. I learned recently that I am in that. I've. I've technically worked with Alan Richardson. I did an episode of Fred the show back in the day, back in like 2013. And I. And he is in the episode I'm in. It's an episode where Fred Figglehorn.

[Amanda]

I don't know.

[Shane]

Oh, you know what's funny? I don't know.

[Ian Hecox]

Fred.

[Shane]

You guys are laughing. This episode of Fred the show that I've done, I think is the funniest episode of television I've ever been a part of.

[Ian Hecox]

Wow.

[Shane]

It's legitimately. It's because it ran for like 10 episodes on Nickelodeon and then got canceled.

[Ian Hecox]

But it got three movies.

[Shane]

I think the show might have been after the movies, too.

[Ian Hecox]

Really?

[Shane]

It's really weird. The show is legitimately good. This is what's crazy. The show is legitimately. Really?

[Amanda]

No idea.

[Ian Hecox]

Written by Alan Aaron.

[Shane]

No. In the episode, Fred drinks some expired milk and he starts hallucinating and this evil, the expired cow shows up in his mirror and is like threatening him. And it's played by Alan Richardson. And I had no idea.

[Amanda]

He is not a cow.

[Shane]

And he's like, I have to fight this cow. And. And I show up as a chocolate chip cookie who trains him in karate to fight this cow. And it's legitimately so funny.

[Ian Hecox]

So. So, so, so what?

[Amanda]

So the chocolate chip cookie would dunk into the milk, which is the cow's expired milk.

[Shane]

No, I'm just a chocolate chip cookie who's training him in karate.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Ian Hecox]

Now there's no connection.

[Amanda]

It's crazy how I see this.

[Shane]

It's legitimately funny because in the scenes with me, I'm in a giant cookie costume and he'll be talking to me. But my over the shoulder shots, they just held up a real cookie and next to the camera.

[Ian Hecox]

That's so clever.

[Amanda]

Really?

[Ian Hecox]

That's so clever.

[Shane]

It's a really funny episode and it's a really funny show.

[Amanda]

Why didn't you ever meet the cow?

[Shane]

I wasn't in any scenes with him.

[Amanda]

How you're fighting.

[Shane]

Oh, no, I'm not fighting.

[Amanda]

Training.

[Shane]

Training. I'm the. I'm the Yoda.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay. And get this. In the Fred movies, his dad, John Cena.

[Shane]

Yes. I am one degree away from John Cena. I don't think John Cena was in that episode.

[Amanda]

So you're basically like John Cena?

[Shane]

No, no.

[Amanda]

John CEN Cena and the Reacher guy.

[Shane]

John Cena's in Fred the Show.

[Amanda]

Did you meet John Cena?

[Shane]

No, I just said I didn't meet Fred. John Cena.

[Amanda]

You know what's crazy is I really want this story to end where you meet both of them. So just.

[Shane]

I haven't met either of them, but I have worked.

[Amanda]

So you did no scenes with them, but they were in the show?

[Shane]

Yes. You know, because the show just loved to cast, like, huge buff guys.

[Amanda]

Yeah, it was good, apparently.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Shane]

That's why they cast. They got the three buff.

[Amanda]

But they put you in a fat ass cookie hell.

[Shane]

Yeah, and I look good as hell.

[Amanda]

How do you do karate in a cookie costume?

[Shane]

I wasn't doing karate, I was just training him in.

[Amanda]

Wow. I guess I don't understand.

[Shane]

You clearly don't get the highbrow nature of Fred the show. Wow. No, it's legitimately the Funniest show.

[Amanda]

I would love to see a clip of that.

[Shane]

And I look, I think so Random and Goldberg's were really funny shows. Fred, the show might be the funniest show I ever got to be.

[Amanda]

So why do you think it got canceled?

[Shane]

Just nobody was watching it. I, I, that's why it got canceled.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

Yeah. But it was legitimately funny. And I think unfortunately at that point because Fred was, he was like the first big YouTuber, like first, like most.

[Amanda]

What's his name?

[Shane]

The channel was called Fred.

[Amanda]

What's his full name?

[Shane]

Fred's the character.

[Amanda]

Oh, got it. Okay.

[Shane]

The actor who plays him is named Luke.

[Amanda]

Do you think that he still does.

[Shane]

He doesn't still do Fred and he

[Ian Hecox]

does, I mean YouTuber.

[Shane]

He doesn't want to talk about it. Well, because it was, it was a such a big sensation back in the day.

[Amanda]

Want to talk about it?

[Shane]

Well, yeah, cuz it was just like

[Amanda]

that's what I'm interested in the past.

[Shane]

He's trying to put it in the past.

[Ian Hecox]

Cuz his, he was like a very like everyone, like anyone that wasn't a fan of Fred really hated Fred. Yeah. Because he had this. He pitched up his voice in editing and he was like really hyper. And so just like anyone that wasn't like, that wasn't a fan of Fred was like, I hate Fred. Fred sucks.

[Shane]

He was one of the first YouTubers to go to like the mainstream. Nickelodeon was like, we'll give you some movies, we'll do a show. And so people thought the show, it's like, oh, it's Fred the show. It's probably. And I remember at the time before I worked on it thinking like, oh, Fred, the show. Oh my God. And then I got the script and I was laughing my ass off and I did it and I was like, this is really funny. And they kind of like they kind of unpaced his voice for the show.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Wasn't as intense. The show is ton.

[Amanda]

Do you think people didn't watch it because they were annoyed by his voice?

[Shane]

I think they didn't watch it because the connotation of the character already.

[Ian Hecox]

And I think Fred by that point had already kind of been. Because this people are getting a little worn out.

[Shane]

This is like 2012, 2013. And Fred was at his peak in like 2007, 2008.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. Probably 2009 maybe.

[Shane]

Yeah. So it's just a few years after this episode of Smosh Mouth is sponsored by ZOC Doc. Amanda, you'd be happy to hear I finally got the Things done, I was holding off. I got my finances in order, organized my schedule, and most importantly.

[Amanda]

Oh, did you finally take down the giant at the top of your beanstalk?

[Shane]

What I do with my mom's cow and my magic beans is none of your business. I was talking about my healthcare.

[Amanda]

Oh, awesome.

[Shane]

Yeah. Out of all the things I needed to do, finding the right doctor was the easiest, thanks to zocdoc. Zocdoc is a free app and website that helps you find and book high quality in network doctors so you can find someone you love.

[Amanda]

Amazing. Just like how that stock grew up.

[Shane]

Cuz, yeah, there's movies that are your favorites.

[Amanda]

Right.

[Shane]

And then there's movies that are.

[Amanda]

You're perfect that you like, don't ever need.

[Shane]

I do think Raiders of the Lost Ark is a perfect movie.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Shane]

It's also one of my favorites. But I'm like, I think it is structurally as a story and filmmaking, just the way it's shot is just like perfect. I do agree. I think Arrival is like Arrivals.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. Arrival is one of my favorites. I would say Arrivals. Close. I, I don't think there's any movie that's perfect.

[Shane]

Sure. But I would say on a relative scale.

[Ian Hecox]

I mean, look, I gotta, I gotta give it to rrr. I don't think it's perfect.

[Shane]

Yeah. But that movie rocks.

[Amanda]

What's crazy?

[Ian Hecox]

Definitely not perfect in the way of like, I don't know, female representation.

[Amanda]

Do you have any reviews from RR that you picked out from, from you? Cause I actually have some. Oh, Celine actually picked up some reviews from rrr.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay.

[Amanda]

So if you don't know what RRR is about. It's a fictional history of two legendary revolutionaries journey away from home before they began fighting for their country in the 1920s.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

And also A lot of dancing.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Animals.

[Ian Hecox]

It's not a lot of dancing.

[Shane]

Oh, but the dancing.

[Amanda]

Dancing is, like, a huge part of it for me.

[Shane]

Competitive fighting dancing.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, yeah. For sure.

[Amanda]

Some excellent mustaches also.

[Shane]

Oh, the mustaches are.

[Ian Hecox]

And just like some of the. Some of the worst dialogue for all of the English speakers, which I think makes the movie better because it just adds this layer of comedy that's, like, kind of unintentional.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

Where it's like they come into a scene and then. And then the British people are like. And that's that.

[Amanda]

Okay, here's a review. The timeline of my experience with RR. 0 through 20 minutes. Why are people obsessed with this movie? It's so over the top. What is even happening?

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

21 through 80 minutes. Okay. I get this. It's growing on me. This is cool. 81 plus minutes. Yes. Iconic. Hit me with all of it.

[Ian Hecox]

Yep.

[Amanda]

Another review. Now excuse me. I have some dance moves to learn.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Another one contains the best piggyback ride action sequence in somatic history.

[Ian Hecox]

Absolutely.

[Amanda]

Yeah. Life will forever be divided into two parts. Before RR and after rr. This movie was great. Last one. No movie has earned the title card. Doesn't appear until 40 minutes into the movie. More than RRR. Eat your heart out, Drive my car.

[Shane]

It also appears three times throughout the movie.

[Amanda]

I love it.

[Ian Hecox]

It's kind of like.

[Shane]

Because. Split into three acts kind of thing.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

I love.

[Shane]

No, that movie's incredible.

[Amanda]

It is such a rough.

[Ian Hecox]

It is like a rough first 10 minutes where you're like, what's going on? And then they just busted this lady's head with a stick.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

And you're like.

[Amanda]

Yeah, that was. That was hard. Also, it was, like, very intense to watch. You know when you're watching, like, a 3D movie and you're like, what is real? That's what it felt like.

[Shane]

Intense when I first started it.

[Ian Hecox]

You also have to, like, get used to, like, the physics.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

And the. The. The. The. The world where it's just like, these people are superhuman.

[Shane]

Yes.

[Ian Hecox]

And you just have to accept that.

[Shane]

Yeah. It's so good.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Okay, so rrr. You think is a perfect movie?

[Ian Hecox]

I don't know if it's a perfect movie, but it's one of my favorite movies.

[Amanda]

Your top four.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay, so my top four. My top four are Arrival, City of God.

[Shane]

Yeah. I haven't watched that. You know what's funny? I watched that movie when I was, like, 12.

[Amanda]

Really?

[Shane]

And I. And then I haven't seen it since. But I remember watching and just Be like, this is crazy, but I need to rewatch it now as an adult so I can actually understand what's going. Yeah, but my brother showed it to me when I was a kid. He's like, this is one of the best movies ever made. Right. I was like, oh, this is just scary.

[Ian Hecox]

I feel like, man, Brazil went through some crazy shit in like the 70s because, you know, City of God is based around that time. So is. I'm still here. I'm still here, which is like crazy. And then also the Secret Agent, which came out last year.

[Shane]

I need seen any of these.

[Amanda]

Is it really good?

[Ian Hecox]

It's good.

[Shane]

It's.

[Ian Hecox]

It's a little confusing.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

But I think that's kind of the point because I think that time in Brazil was very confusing and weird. But yeah, City of God is just incredible. I have RR on here. I have. They came together.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

In my top four.

[Shane]

That. That's Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler just making fun of rom coms. It's. It's like the Naked Gun.

[Amanda]

I don't know if I saw it.

[Ian Hecox]

So it's the same people that made White Hot American Summer.

[Amanda]

Yep.

[Shane]

Um, it's like it's one of those jokes per second movies.

[Amanda]

Got it.

[Shane]

Just non stop jokes.

[Ian Hecox]

And then the other one in my top four, Portrait of a Lady on

[Amanda]

Fire, I just recently watched that again. And the most amazing thing about that movie is every shot is a painting. The way they light everything is unbelievable. The way they have a scene where it looks like they're lit from candles. I was sitting there being like, how did they do? And they're barely speaking in it.

[Ian Hecox]

I feel like you'd like Train Dreams.

[Amanda]

That's on my list. I need to watch Train Dreams. One of my favorite movies that is not in English is Volver. It's one of my all time favorites.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, I got that on my list.

[Amanda]

It's Pedro Almotivair who's one of my favorite directors. I love him. Broken Embraces is also such a weird, good movie by him. But Volvaire is one of my absolute favorites. It's like about sisterhood and mother and it's just gorgeous. I love the way he shoots. He's very. He's also very like sexual and sensual. The way he shoots like porno everything.

[Ian Hecox]

Penelope Cruz.

[Amanda]

Yeah, it's Penelope Cruz. But like everyone in it, it's just. And that movie goes places where you're like, what's happening here?

[Ian Hecox]

Cool. Yeah. Amadeus.

[Amanda]

Amadeus.

[Shane]

I've still never seen Amadeus. Such a commitment. It's 12 hours long?

[Ian Hecox]

No, it's not that long. It's only.

[Amanda]

Do it.

[Ian Hecox]

No, it's only 160 minutes.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Do you know what I think is a perfect movie?

[Shane]

So you think it's a perfect movie?

[Amanda]

The Birdcage.

[Shane]

So.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Not the original. I haven't seen the original. The original is like a French.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, but the Robin Williams.

[Amanda]

The Robin Williams one is so unbelievable.

[Shane]

That's one of the more recent movies I've seen. I'd never watched the Birdcage. I didn't really know what it was about. And then Courtney and I watched it one weekend, and that movie rocks. That movie is so funny. I think I was reading that Nathan Lane wasn't originally supposed to play the role he was in. This might be wrong, but I thought I was reading that it was like, oh, Steve Martin was originally supposed to be in that role, but I can't imagine that without Nathan has to be. Nathan Lane is the reason that movie

[Amanda]

work has to be.

[Shane]

And I love that Robin Williams played it the way he did. He played it. It's one of his. Honestly, most. Like one of his more like, downplayed performances.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Like, more along, like, Goodwill hunting or something. He's not playing it big, and it works so well. That movie's so good.

[Amanda]

Goodwill Hunting is also an amazing movie.

[Shane]

Yeah. You got good picks, man.

[Amanda]

Give us your top fours.

[Ian Hecox]

I mean, I gave you more than. Yeah, I have Arrival up there. I got. I got Dune 2. Dune 2.

[Shane]

You like Dune 2 more than Dune? Yeah, yeah. I liked.

[Ian Hecox]

I think Dune. I think Dune, the first Dune was like. The pacing was just kind of slow.

[Shane]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amanda]

Right.

[Ian Hecox]

Still incredible.

[Shane]

But I am so curious what the next Dune is, because. Do you know anything about Dune lore?

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Amanda]

Sorry. I love Dune.

[Ian Hecox]

I mean, really, I love. I've read. I've read a little bit about it.

[Shane]

I'm saying, like.

[Ian Hecox]

Like, like. Yeah, about how, like, the timeline, it's just Duncan Idaho is all the way down.

[Shane]

They start cloning him, like, a million times over or something. Yeah, no, that. Because they go like.

[Ian Hecox]

Is that correct?

[Shane]

It is. There's a million Duncan Idaho, and then there's a worm Emperor. Yes. Like, there's a guy who's a worm.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, I heard that thing is.

[Amanda]

What's funny is I'm thinking about when I watched the original, which I felt like I was actually tripping on acid. When I watched the original, I was like, sure. And the worm is. So what's his name? The. The guy who plays Stellan Scars.

[Shane]

Stella Baron. Harkonnen.

[Amanda]

Just all of the creatures in the original. And that movie feels like it's three and a half hours long. Yeah, I think it is, but I just think that it goes to such a weird fucking place.

[Shane]

Yeah. Because in the books.

[Amanda]

But I've never read the books.

[Shane]

Yeah. So in the books, after Paul Atreides, there's a. I'm sorry. Spoilers. But, like, this is not going to. The movies are not going to get.

[Amanda]

I don't know.

[Shane]

No, this is like book five. There's a. I think his son becomes like an immortal worm emperor who rules the universe.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Shane]

There's apparently a dominatrix planet. Oh, dominatrixes who are a thing. And there's just a bunch of weird.

[Amanda]

Because Paul Atreides is like a false.

[Shane]

He's a false prophet.

[Amanda]

He's a false prophet. So in the last Dune two, there you have the Florence Pew situation. He's, like, set up to be with her.

[Shane]

I don't. I'm trying to remember. Anyway, I need to rewatch Dune.

[Amanda]

Dune two. Well, if you have, you know, three hours. What? Dune 2. What you just said reminded me of. And this is so weird that my brain went here, but just thinking of, like, the score and the music. Sicario is also such a good movie.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah, that movie.

[Ian Hecox]

The score of Safari before Taylor Sheridan just started writing content for.

[Amanda]

We're gonna come for you if you bring up Taylor Sheridan. Yeah, yeah. You know what's crazy? I was on. I was on vacation and I met this woman whose son is in the new. Taylor Sheridan.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, good for him.

[Shane]

I don't know much about Taylor Sheridan. I've only seen.

[Amanda]

I mean, Yellowstone.

[Ian Hecox]

He had.

[Shane]

He had a great Yellowstone. No, dude.

[Amanda]

Dude, he created Yellow Stone.

[Ian Hecox]

You will if you look at what.

[Amanda]

Also, he was a cop in Sons of Anarchy. He was a cop in Sons of Anarchy. That's where he got.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, but he wrote. He wrote Hell or High Water, which is incredible.

[Amanda]

Such a good movie.

[Ian Hecox]

He wrote Wind River. Sorry. Wrote, directed.

[Shane]

Such.

[Ian Hecox]

Wind river, which is incredible.

[Amanda]

Will be so good, though.

[Ian Hecox]

He did Sakario. He wrote Sakario. And then he did all.

[Amanda]

He did 1926, whatever, the other.

[Shane]

Then he started making money and now

[Amanda]

he did the new show Madison.

[Ian Hecox]

So he does. He does every like. He does every.

[Shane]

Like, he does the shows that everybody's mom is like, have you watched Yellow?

[Amanda]

Yeah, of course.

[Shane]

That's my favorite show.

[Amanda]

It's brutal.

[Ian Hecox]

I feel like he, like, really, like, struck gold with this kind of like, white man power fantasy kind of thing of like, of like I want to live out on a ranch.

[Amanda]

The hierarchy of the older man taking on generation to generation.

[Ian Hecox]

And he struck gold. So, yeah, he did like.

[Amanda]

But again, he did really amazing things. Heller, high water. Sario, When River.

[Shane]

There's a scene in Sicario that in my head every now and then, you know, the scene at the dinner table.

[Ian Hecox]

I think that all at the end.

[Amanda]

Towards the end.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

With Benicio Toro.

[Ian Hecox]

I mean, that whole. That whole movie's great movie.

[Amanda]

So good. It's also. You're watching it. Like, I felt like I was Emily Blunt watching it the whole time. Just like so out of my element. So fish out of water. Like I shouldn't be here. That's what I felt like.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, she's like the Avatar for that.

[Amanda]

Exactly.

[Ian Hecox]

That's not really her story.

[Amanda]

No, it's not. Is it Benicio's story?

[Shane]

How often do you watch movies?

[Ian Hecox]

I won't say like every day, but

[Amanda]

I go, he watches them all the time.

[Shane]

But I've seen truly all the time so far.

[Ian Hecox]

I've seen 53 this year.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Amanda]

I will say my normal is that. But since having a kid, it's really hard to watch a movie. But I'm actually finding my. I've been really into shows, but I'm finding my joy for it. But I was like movie person. I watched everything that was out. Everything that like everyone was talking about the indie films. It's hard to watch movies right now, but I miss so badly going. Going to the movie theaters and. But God, I love movies. I also love international movies so much. Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

What's your favorite international movie?

[Amanda]

Volbert.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, there you go.

[Shane]

What were you writing a review of while you're.

[Ian Hecox]

I was.

[Amanda]

I was. I was aggressively typing.

[Ian Hecox]

Well, that's. I was writing a new review of My feelings on Mad Max Fury Road.

[Shane]

Oh, right, right. Oh, did you have an old review changed?

[Ian Hecox]

My feelings haven't changed. I feel like the. The. Some of the VFX have aged a

[Shane]

little bit where some of the explosions, some of the. And also the 3D thing where the steering wheel comes out.

[Ian Hecox]

That was corny as hell from. From the get go. Yeah, Like, I kind of like, I forgot that that movie came out in 3D. Oh, yeah. And when Mad Max Fury Road came out, like the concept of a dine in theater was still kind of like novel. And we went to this dine in theater and we're all watching on 3D and then that part happens where like the guitar comes out at the screen and everyone was just like, like it's just such a. It's such a great movie. It happens, like, right towards the end

[Shane]

and you're like, I never could do the 3D thing. The only. The only movie that I didn't mind in 3D was the original Avatar.

[Ian Hecox]

For some reason, I will say, dude, Dread. Oh, I would say, like, on level with, like, Mad Max. I feel like dread. That came out in 3D and that actually had some pretty. Some pretty good 3D effects. It was also kind of secretly directed by Alex Garland.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Ian Hecox]

Who did Ex Machina. And.

[Shane]

No, that movie's really good. I finally watched it at one point.

[Ian Hecox]

Dude, that movie rocks.

[Amanda]

I have not seen Dread.

[Ian Hecox]

It's Carl Urban, who. He's in a mask. He's in a mask the entire time, which I think is like, that's something that movies always. They always, like, chicken out and have, like, the star take their helmet off or take their mask off to be

[Amanda]

like, he stays in it the whole.

[Ian Hecox]

He stays in it the whole time. All you see is his. His mouth.

[Amanda]

Like, thick Australian accent. He's Australian? No, he's New Zealand. I don't know.

[Ian Hecox]

I don't know what he is. But he. You see his. You.

[Shane]

You.

[Ian Hecox]

All you see is his mouth, and he just has this, like, this, like, grimace the entire.

[Shane]

And he's like.

[Amanda]

He's incredible.

[Shane]

Urban.

[Ian Hecox]

He's so good in that movie.

[Amanda]

Is he done with the boys? Is the Boys done?

[Shane]

Yeah, it's final season.

[Ian Hecox]

Thank God.

[Amanda]

I loved the Boys for the first two seasons.

[Shane]

Same.

[Amanda]

And I was like, I need this.

[Shane]

I've been watching it. And I was. I just.

[Ian Hecox]

I just don't like the. All the gore. Like, yeah, it gets over the top.

[Shane]

This is my. My take on the Boys this season was. There was an era like Game of Thrones came out and Breaking Bad where it was, like, new to have things go wrong and for the villains to win. It was like, whoa, what is this? This is crazy.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

But now watching the Boys, I've been able to predict every scene because I go, okay, this is going to go wrong. All right? This plan's going to fail. All right? The worst thing that could possibly happen is going to happen. And it does without fail, to the point that I'm actually bored. I'm like, I am no longer surprised by this. Like, you need to have different things happen. It's. It's funny. Like, we got so into that that now when shows have a good thing happen, that's when I'm surprised.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Like, whoa, A good thing happened.

[Amanda]

I. And I I like that. I like that.

[Ian Hecox]

Perfect movie.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Ian Hecox]

Paddington 2.

[Shane]

Everyone says that. I watched Paddington, and I still have yet to watch Paddington 2, bruh.

[Amanda]

Everyone talks about it, goes to prison.

[Ian Hecox]

Paddington 3 is fine.

[Shane]

It's.

[Ian Hecox]

It's lovely. It's got Olivia Colman. She's great.

[Amanda]

Oh, speaking of Olivia Colman, the favorite is one of my favorite movies.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, the Yorgos movie.

[Amanda]

I loved it. Yeah, I loved it. Would I rewatch it maybe once more? That's it.

[Ian Hecox]

I feel like that's most. Like most Yorgos Lanthimos movies. You're like, that was good. I don't want to see that.

[Amanda]

Yeah. Poor Things. I also love Poor Things. Sure will not be.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, yeah. I have zero interest in rewatch.

[Amanda]

But I was laughing so hard at Poor Things.

[Shane]

Very darkly funny.

[Amanda]

I thought Mark Ruffalo's character was one of my favorite characters I've seen in so long. I think when he stopped, I. There was this interview about him when he stopped doing the Hulk. He felt free. Because I think you're on a really serious contract with, obviously, Marvel. And so he felt free. So I felt like he was just like, I am going to have the most fun in this wild character. He was. I just. His character made me laugh out loud. And I don't know. I don't know if it's like doing comedy all the time. I really struggle to laugh out loud in movies, which sounds so sad to me.

[Shane]

No, I, I.

[Amanda]

But it has to surprise me. And I felt like he was joy the whole time.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

And I also feel like I know that Ted Lasso was really funny. Cause it was joy. But, like, I really feel this shift in comedy where instead of, like, everything's this woman's life, everything's going wrong, and how terrible. I feel this shift of, like, joy. And it can be dark joy, but, like, this, this joy. It can be, like, hysterical joy or excited joy or a scary joy. But that's, like, the way comedy's going right now. And I'm really.

[Shane]

Yeah, no, because, like, I think similar with comedy. You know, I remember when, like, Girls came out, and I remember at the time being like, I love this groundbreaking. And, you know, that was like, when, like, Curb youb Enthusiasm was on. Like, where it's like, oh, these despicable characters. All these people are cringy and they're hard to watch. And it's funny because these characters are awful. But now I love when I have a character I can root for. Like, it's really fun. And I love the kind of, like, thing you're seeing with a lot of characters, which is the. The kind of character who's oblivious and naive. And they're so positive and so they're so earnest. And I love that Earnesty. It's what I loved about, like, watching the birdcage. I was just like, there's a lot of Earnesty in it. A lot of the scenes that are really funny is where it's just like genuine kind coming from these characters.

[Amanda]

And even if they are a villain, my favorite part is even if they are the bad guy that we can't stand, they have this really awesome redemption arc where it's like, oh, you're fighting for something that you believe is right, but we all know it's not right, but you don't know it yet until you lose something or somebody that you love kind of points it out. And then you have to go through this journey of self redemption. And that's where I also find joy in that, like the show DTF St. Louis that we both. There's all these characters that you're like, villain, villain. Wait, are you the villain? And then you're like, oh, okay. Oh, oh. You guys are just so in your own bubble. And the best character ever is someone who's not aware of the. How they're making people feel. They know they're hurting this person's feelings, but they don't understand why. Yeah, that's my favorite is them, like, figuring that out.

[Shane]

This episode of Smosh Mouth is sponsored by Rocket Money. I was really struggling to find where I could save within my personal finances.

[Amanda]

Yeah, when you look at your bank statements and see a list of transactions, it's really hard to understand where you're spending.

[Shane]

I started using Rocket Money because I wanted to see if I could spot any patterns. And guess what?

[Amanda]

What?

[Shane]

It felt like I was only ordering out for dinner every once in a while. But then I popped it onto my Rocket Money dashboard and saw I was overspending. It has saved me so much money just by helping me recognize my patterns.

[Amanda]

Well, sign me up. I would love some extra cash.

[Shane]

[Amanda]

$70? I could buy a beanbag chair.

[Doug]

And Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual. Even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.

[Caroline]

Hey, everyone, check out this guy and his bird. What is this your first date?

[Shane]

Oh, no.

[Doug]

We help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Me to a human, him to a bird.

[Shane]

Yeah, the bird looks out of your league.

[Doug]

Anyways, get a'@libertymutual.com or with your local agent.

[Shane]

Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty.

[Amanda]

I drive my bus in a busy city. That's why road safety is so important to me. I know that I must slow down and be extra careful when I make a wide turn. Buses need more room than cars. Everyone can help keep our roads safe. Next time you're driving, remember to give buses plenty of time and space to finish turning before driving ahead. Let's all plan to share the road safely. Learn how at www.shshare the road safely.gov

[Shane]

like hot take throughout there.

[Amanda]

Hot take.

[Shane]

I almost feel like because so much American shows and just movies for the past like decade have been so like, everyone's awful, everyone has bad intentions. Everything ends up going wrong. I almost wonder if that sphere allowed for anime to become as mainstream and big because in anime, like, people are like, we're gonna work hard and we succeed. Like, there's a lot of like the good guy wins and there's kind of like that's like a very like typical storyline in a lot of not all animes. Plenty. And like Death Note has like a lot of dark endings, but so many are just have like a. Oh, if you work hard and you believe in yourself, we will persevere and win. And that's kind of like refreshing.

[Amanda]

I think that's also connected to like the. Honestly, the Romantasy era that's coming back so hard is people are like romantasy sci fi. It's the main story and everything, which is just like obviously the hero's journey.

[Ian Hecox]

You know, it's. It's kind of interesting that like romanticies Become, like, so huge. But there aren't any, like, big Romantasy movies that have come out.

[Shane]

No, I don't think. Is it.

[Ian Hecox]

Is it too sexy?

[Amanda]

Well, they're trying.

[Shane]

Is it trying?

[Amanda]

Well, Michael B. Jordan bought 4th Wing, the series, which was, like, interesting. Such an. Such an. I have a lot of thoughts on that series, but he bought that series to make. I think it's really hard to make them into.

[Ian Hecox]

But like, the visual. But like the Sarah J. Mass, like, she took it back, so she.

[Amanda]

All of her rights were sold to Hulu and then she just took all of her rights back because, like, I

[Ian Hecox]

guess it's probably too horny because at that point it would be like. It would be like softcore porn, basically.

[Amanda]

I think it's visual. I genuinely think the. The author and the person are colliding on who is going to be cast. Because in these books, they're godlike, beautiful creatures. No one on earth looks like that.

[Ian Hecox]

What do you think?

[Shane]

Nobody's hot enough.

[Amanda]

Nobody's hot. But also. Yes, I do think they think there's some that.

[Shane]

I think they're probably hard to translate over to movie and TV show.

[Amanda]

They could get cringy, cheesy real fast.

[Shane]

Yeah. Like, some of. Some things truly just the medium that they're made in is where they work best. Right. And I think also with books like Romantasy, it's where people really want to place themselves in it. And when a movie. You literally can't do that. You're watching.

[Amanda]

Honey, I don't ever. I asked myself this the other day when I'm reading those. I never put myself in their shoes. It's always like, I'm watching them from afar, like a little creep.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

You know what I'm saying?

[Ian Hecox]

You know, it's weird.

[Shane]

Like, when I'm reading, I'm a huge pervert.

[Amanda]

I'm in the room, I'm in the corner.

[Shane]

It's like.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes. I have this feeling that, like, pretty much every sex scene in a movie is, like, not erotic at all.

[Amanda]

I don't think that it's erotic at all when they're shooting it.

[Shane]

But.

[Ian Hecox]

But I mean, like. Oh, wait, the, like the final.

[Shane]

You're saying, like, as a viewer watching

[Ian Hecox]

it and I see a sex scene, I'm like, it never, like, I feel like it never achieves, like, what it's trying to achieve, really. Except those aren't good.

[Shane]

Sexy.

[Ian Hecox]

There's only. There's only one sex scene that you think is.

[Shane]

It does the job.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

What is it?

[Ian Hecox]

All right. You ever Seen the. You're not gonna guess.

[Amanda]

This setup is. I can't even handle this.

[Ian Hecox]

Have you ever seen the.

[Shane]

The.

[Ian Hecox]

Who else is in it? The.

[Amanda]

If you don't.

[Ian Hecox]

Jude Law.

[Amanda]

Get to it.

[Ian Hecox]

World War II sniper movie. So Enemy at the Gate.

[Shane]

I've never seen Enemy at the Game

[Amanda]

with what's her name?

[Ian Hecox]

Rachel Vice.

[Shane]

Oh, so people in the room are like, yes.

[Ian Hecox]

And they're like, yeah, Enemy at the Gates.

[Amanda]

Also, that scene is so hot. Also, I'm sorry. Cold Mountain, it's such a sad, long movie. But Jude Law and Cold Mountain and Nicole Kidman's relationship is very.

[Ian Hecox]

Maybe it's just so.

[Shane]

Maybe it must be Jude Law.

[Ian Hecox]

But there. But there's something like Holiday, I think. I think.

[Amanda]

Because, like, Enemy at the Gates is

[Ian Hecox]

very good because, like, I feel like with sex scenes and movies, they're always like, oh, yeah, we're going to, like, show some titties or whatever. Now in. In Enemy at the Gates, they don't show anything.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

They're laying next to each other, aren't they, in, like, camp with a bunch of people.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, they're like, yeah, there's, like, a bunch of people sleeping next to them and they're, like, getting busy under the sheets.

[Amanda]

And it's very erotic.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I agree with you. I think it's the intention behind it, the scene. I think some movies go way too hard, and you're like, oh, those are two actors who worked out really, really hard for this scene. And, you know, they stopped and go. And they don't have a lot of chemistry, and it's just awkward. And, like, I do think there are some sexier. There are some sexier scenes that I will have to ruminate on the rest of this episode. I can't. I can't quite come back around. But I will say Rachel. Her. She is, like, sexy as hell. I don't think that's her last name.

[Ian Hecox]

Vice.

[Shane]

Yeah, Rachel Vice.

[Ian Hecox]

Rachel Vice.

[Amanda]

Oh, with a W. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That scene's pretty hot.

[Ian Hecox]

Anyway. I don't know there. But.

[Amanda]

No, that's. That's good.

[Shane]

So do we want to read some of your letterbox reviews? I also have a game I want to.

[Ian Hecox]

Good. I don't have good ones.

[Shane]

You do serious ones.

[Ian Hecox]

Well, because I feel like. I feel like the. I don't want to be that annoying person on letterbox that just makes, like, one sentence jokes all the time.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Ian Hecox]

I. I like. Like, occasionally I'll. I'll do, like, a joke. But then I also think being earnest about My love or hate for a movie is. Is good. I think it's. I think it's good to provide an actual, like, opinion and feeling on. On things.

[Amanda]

So also Phantom thread. I know a lot. Not a lot of people loved that movie, but I loved that movie. You're crazy letterbox reviews too. But, Shane, you have something. You. You said you have a game.

[Shane]

Well, I was going to pick. You know, they have like a bunch of the most popular rated movies on letterboxd. I was gonna pick a movie and I was gonna read a review and then give you guys a chance to guess.

[Ian Hecox]

Yes, that's great.

[Amanda]

On.

[Shane]

Let's do it. I'm gonna pick a random movie and it's a movie that you guys definitely both know.

[Ian Hecox]

Like, how did that mouse learn how to drive that car?

[Shane]

Sure.

[Amanda]

Stuart Little. You know what, Shane? I have to say something. You're really good at games. Yeah, like create a game. I'm sorry. I'm being real.

[Shane]

I created a game. It's called Sniper chess. No, I'm just kidding.

[Amanda]

No, but like, you're really, really good at, like. I'm like, oh, that's such a good idea. That I would never think of. Wow. So welcome.

[Shane]

We also used to do a. We used to do a show similar to this called Netflix and Chill.

[Amanda]

Don't tell me that. Just let me sit in that.

[Shane]

Where we would read reviews of Netflix movies. And if you guessed it wrong, you'd have ice poured down your pants.

[Ian Hecox]

Yep.

[Shane]

This is back when you collapse.

[Amanda]

I'm wearing a dress, so try

[Ian Hecox]

would go up then.

[Amanda]

[Shane]

Nope.

Shit.

Okay, James.

[Ian Hecox]

Parasite.

[Shane]

No,

[Amanda]

this is Barbarian. The most not fun and lighthearted.

[Shane]

Adam Bolt gave this movie four and a half stars. He said worried for the guy taking the longest bath of all time.

[Ian Hecox]

Saltburn. I'm just kidding.

[Amanda]

What?

[Shane]

All right. The longest bath of all. Longest bath of all time.

He said, woman.

[Shane]

Warren gave this three and a half stars.

They, they wrote. Did they ever record him jerking off?

[Ian Hecox]

Buried 127 hours. No.

[Amanda]

Jesus. What are you saying? No, he never. He's stuck in a cliff. He's not taking a bath or jerking off.

[Shane]

Well, if.

[Ian Hecox]

Maybe if. Was it his arm that got stuck or was it his leg?

[Amanda]

Franco, baby. God, that movie. Can you read?

[Ian Hecox]

One more, One more. Give us one more.

[Shane]

Jackson gave it four and a half stars. Said it must suck for all the people in like Asia always seeing him sleeping when it's on.

Truman Show.

[Shane]

You got is the Truman Show. They ever record him jerking

[Amanda]

longest bath when in the house.

[Shane]

I. I forget.

[Amanda]

I haven't seen one of my favorite movies ever.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. That is such a good timer. For sure.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Okay. Another one.

[Shane]

You want to keep going? Yeah. Going. Let's just keep doing this.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, it's fun because people love to make.

[Amanda]

I do have reviews, but let's keep going. Maybe I'll do one to end.

[Shane]

This is the first one you're not going to get, but you can try to see if you get lucky. Four and a half stars from V. They write. What's up, guys? I'm crying.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay, so it's a sad movie or it's a comedy.

[Amanda]

Okay, keep going.

[Shane]

Alor gave it four and a half stars. Said a movie about a man who runs and enjoys cutting grass.

[Amanda]

Forest Gump.

[Shane]

It's Forrest Gump.

[Ian Hecox]

Damn.

[Shane]

Nice.

[Ian Hecox]

Nice.

[Shane]

Way to go.

[Amanda]

I'm really good at this. So how many points did I just get?

[Shane]

None. You get no points.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Ian Hecox]

You get nothing. Oh, what's that? What was that from?

[Amanda]

I have no idea.

[Ian Hecox]

Willy Wonka.

[Amanda]

You got nothing. You drank. Fizzy. Lifting drinks.

[Shane]

Okay, let's see if you guys can get this on the first guess. Okay, Sam gave this movie five stars. He said, so this is why teachers make you take your hat off in school.

[Amanda]

Final destination.

[Ian Hecox]

Hereditary.

[Shane]

It is not hereditary. Okay? River gave this five stars and said, when I say I love French cinema, this is what I mean.

[Amanda]

Blue's warmest color.

[Ian Hecox]

French cinema. It's not Amelie. I don't know French cinema.

[Amanda]

What the hell?

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, Alexina's bouncing back there.

[Amanda]

What? Read that. All right, another one.

[Ian Hecox]

Let's see it.

[Shane]

I'm trying to find one that doesn't spoil it. Okay. Freya gave this five stars. It said, can't believe they invented the entire country of France for this movie.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, no. Oh, no. You got.

[Shane]

You guys know it.

[Amanda]

This is what. What is happening?

[Ian Hecox]

And it's the most French thing, so.

[Amanda]

Ratatouille.

[Shane]

It's ratatouille. What was the second thing again?

[Amanda]

What?

[Ian Hecox]

This is why I watch. This is French cinema.

[Shane]

This is perfect French cinema. That's why you have to take your hat off in school.

[Amanda]

I don't like ratatouille. I don't want a rat cooking my food. We talked about this. Scary rats.

[Shane]

Okay, yeah. You said you had a hard time with that movie.

[Ian Hecox]

It's not real, Amanda.

[Amanda]

Yes, it is.

[Ian Hecox]

It's not. It's an animation never happened.

[Amanda]

Faisal Goes West. That was real.

[Ian Hecox]

Fievel.

[Amanda]

Fievel.

[Shane]

Okay, I've got a good one. I got another one. And here's a movie that I think is actually perfect.

[Amanda]

Okay?

[Shane]

This is, I think, a perfect movie. Okay? Someone said Patrick gave it four and a half stars. They said the second best Die Hard movie.

[Amanda]

It's not Die Hard. Of course.

[Shane]

James gave it three and a half stars, said young Patrick Bateman.

[Amanda]

Wait, Christian Bale.

[Ian Hecox]

Wait.

[Amanda]

Perfect movie.

[Shane]

Jonathan Fuji gave it four and a half stars, said Tom and Jerry ass movie.

[Amanda]

Oh, it's not. It's not. It's not the Fighter.

[Shane]

No.

[Ian Hecox]

No way.

[Shane]

Wait till you find out what this movie is.

[Ian Hecox]

Christian Bale. It's not Christian Bale. They're just saying that. He's like a.

[Amanda]

Like a young Patrick Bateman. Fine.

[Ian Hecox]

So he's crazy. Very attractive man. Tom and Jerry ass movie. It's like a Die Hard. What the hell?

[Shane]

All right, I'm gonna give you one that's gonna give it away, but. Sorry. Wait, someone. This makes me want to rewatch the Movie. Hannah gave it five stars and said, they say six, seven, about six or seven times in this movie. Okay. Benjamin gave it four and a half stars and said, I'm a full grown ass man. And that furnace is still terrifying.

[Amanda]

Home Alone.

[Shane]

It's Home Alone.

[Amanda]

Who is young Patrick Bateman?

[Shane]

Kevin.

[Ian Hecox]

Kevin is a young.

[Amanda]

Why? No, I don't agree with this. I don't agree with that.

[Ian Hecox]

This is why you should, like, have.

[Shane]

He's got his morning routine. He's doing all sorts of stuff.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay.

[Amanda]

He's not a killer.

[Shane]

So that's second. He's a kid. He basically kills them throughout that movie.

[Amanda]

No, no, you're right, you're right, you're right.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Amanda]

I see it, I guess.

[Shane]

All right, I'm gonna pick this one. Might be a little bit harder.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay. Okay.

[Shane]

I'm having so much fun.

[Amanda]

I can tell.

[Shane]

I love just reading this.

[Ian Hecox]

This is fun.

[Amanda]

You like having control and power.

[Shane]

Muriel gave it five stars. Getting killed because you're not a crazy cinephile.

[Amanda]

No idea. Muriel.

[Shane]

I think a lot of people probably guessed.

[Amanda]

What are you saying?

[Ian Hecox]

Really? Okay, hold on.

[Shane]

Well, Muriel's just her person.

[Amanda]

No, I know, but I have a deep connection.

[Shane]

Hannah gave it four and a half stars. Said one. Don't pick up the phone.

[Amanda]

Oh, Scream.

[Shane]

Scream.

[Ian Hecox]

How are you guys? So how are you? So good.

[Amanda]

I'm so. I watch more movies than you. Clearly. I'm like, I am the movie person.

[Ian Hecox]

Damn.

[Amanda]

Not you. That's so wild.

[Ian Hecox]

This sucks. Don't worry about it.

[Amanda]

But that beginning scene of Scream is a classic for almost every movie, actually. When a Stranger Calls is like the classic. Have you ever seen that?

[Ian Hecox]

Where it's like, they're in the Jodie Foster.

[Shane]

Okay. I found the same reviewer for this. This is a new movie.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay.

[Shane]

Muriel gave this movie five stars. They said. Didn't mean to moan like that. My bad. A lot of people are just like reviewers on Adam Bolt, who gave a review on a different thing. Four and a half stars. Or as we Australians call it, Tuesday,

[Amanda]

Something with Chris Hemsworth.

[Shane]

Aaron gave this five stars. Said, as Charlie XCX once said, beep, beep. So let's ride.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Fast and furious.

[Ian Hecox]

No moaning.

[Amanda]

Didn't mean to moan like that. It's something hot. Or not.

[Shane]

David gave it five stars. Said I would drive one of the spiky cars.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay, so it's Mad Max Fury Road.

[Shane]

Mad Max Fury Road.

[Amanda]

So they didn't mean to moan about.

[Shane]

They're just like, it's hot. It's a hot movie.

[Ian Hecox]

I don't agree with that. What?

[Amanda]

It's super hot. What are you. Oh, well, this is crazy.

[Shane]

Okay, I love the top review on this one. All right, Carly gave this movie four and a half stars, and they said, where the fuck is the breakfast?

[Ian Hecox]

Breakfast at Tiffany's?

[Shane]

It's not breakfast. Good guess, though.

[Amanda]

That's a great guess, but you didn't damn get it.

[Shane]

Trav gave it four stars. They said me and my five personalities at 3:00am

[Amanda]

oh, oh, oh. The one with James McAvoy split.

[Shane]

Where the is the breakfast?

[Amanda]

I don't know.

[Shane]

Soup George gave it two and a half stars. Said they didn't even eat breakfast.

[Ian Hecox]

What the hell?

[Amanda]

What are you talking about, breakfast? I don't know.

[Shane]

Oh, wait. Someone said Andrea gave it three stars and all captions.

[Ian Hecox]

Did you say something about breakfast again?

[Shane]

No, they just said that Victorious episode with crying emojis.

[Amanda]

Victorious episode?

[Shane]

Yeah. You guys are probably not getting help from that.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, no.

[Shane]

Oh, God.

[Amanda]

Even breakfast. Is this a popular.

[Shane]

James. James wrote two stars. I can't believe I watched Victorious version before this.

[Amanda]

What are you saying?

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, is it Schindler's List? No.

[Amanda]

What? I. That you're crazy. Wait, is this a popular movie?

[Shane]

It's a very famous movie. Incredibly famous movie.

[Amanda]

Princess Bride.

[Shane]

It's not Princess Bride.

[Amanda]

Stop. Stop. Keep going.

[Shane]

Andy gave it five stars. Said the only movie where a guy called Bender is the coolest dude on the planet.

[Ian Hecox]

Bender. Bender.

[Shane]

This one person just has a heart for their name. Four stars. They should have just started a band and called themselves Lemonade Mouth to be what?

[Ian Hecox]

Lemonade.

[Shane]

Killing me. The connection between this movie and just Disney and Nickelodeon.

[Ian Hecox]

Victorious.

[Amanda]

Bender, we're so lost.

[Shane]

Molly gave it four and a half stars. Said the Victorious parody of this is better.

[Ian Hecox]

Stop.

[Amanda]

Victorious.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay. Is it right?

[Shane]

Let's. Let's. We're gonna move away from Victory.

[Ian Hecox]

Every television show is really.

[Shane]

Vivian gave this movie four stars and said, when your circle small, but y' all crazy.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay. All right.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Ian Hecox]

So. It's.

[Shane]

It's okay. Paracus gave it four stars and said, dumbass Makeover took a star off.

[Amanda]

Makeover?

[Shane]

There's a makeover?

[Amanda]

This is Doubtfire, not Mrs. Doubtfire.

[Ian Hecox]

It's like. It's like a group.

[Shane]

It's.

[Ian Hecox]

It's. Is it like a group of friends?

[Shane]

It's. It's a sort of. It's a group of people becoming friends.

[Amanda]

What? This is awful.

[Shane]

Coming.

[Ian Hecox]

Friends. Heathers.

[Shane]

It's not Heathers. You're getting close.

[Amanda]

They definitely did not become friends.

[Ian Hecox]

A breakfast club.

[Shane]

It is Breakfast Club.

[Amanda]

Breakfast Club. They didn't even eat breakfast. Victorious.

[Shane]

Victorious did an episode, a parody episode of.

[Ian Hecox]

That makes sense.

[Amanda]

Who's Bender?

[Shane]

I forget Bender.

[Ian Hecox]

Was he like the. The reject Breakfast Club?

[Amanda]

They actually didn't even eat breakfast.

[Shane]

They didn't actually even eat breakfast. Damn. Why did I think of that?

[Amanda]

I'm thinking way too specific.

[Shane]

[Amanda]

Oh, my God.

[Amanda]

What? Who looks like Willy Wonka Arrival?

[Shane]

Lucy gave this movie five stars and said the movie equivalent of being hugged.

[Ian Hecox]

Paddington.

[Shane]

Not Paddington.

Some of these reviews, I don't understand.

[Amanda]

That's what I'm struggling with.

[Shane]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on.

[Amanda]

Amelie.

[Shane]

You got it.

[Amanda]

Oh, her hair. How dare they?

[Ian Hecox]

How dare they.

[Shane]

She looks like Willy Wonka.

[Amanda]

That movie is so good.

[Ian Hecox]

It's one of my favorites.

[Amanda]

It's a good movie. Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

How dare they?

[Shane]

How dare they?

[Caroline]

Wait, I have one.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, okay.

[Shane]

Okay. Selena's gonna shout out some reviews, and then we're gonna guess.

[Caroline]

Okay. Viking gave the snow stars but liked it. I thought this was about magicians.

[Shane]

The Prestige.

[Amanda]

I was just gonna say that.

[Shane]

No, but that is about magicians.

[Amanda]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Shane]

She's about magicians.

[Ian Hecox]

Magic Mike.

[Amanda]

Oh, yeah.

[Shane]

Nice.

[Amanda]

Nice. It is about magicians. Oh, they're magicians. They're getting you.

[Ian Hecox]

Well, it's like.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

How did you get those Abs.

[Amanda]

You know, you probably worked out pretty hard. And he also dances and.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay, yeah. Magic. Fine.

[Amanda]

That's a true story about Channing Tatum. Okay, do we have more?

[Shane]

Do we have a new one?

[Amanda]

I'll read you my review and you can guess. Cause this is what I just picked out. Okay, how about that?

[Shane]

And you write letterboxd reviews?

[Amanda]

No, but I actually. I told Ian the other day that I want to.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay, here's one.

[Amanda]

This is, like.

[Ian Hecox]

It doesn't cost anything. You can just do it.

[Shane]

You can do it for free.

[Amanda]

Okay, awesome. Thanks, guys. Okay, so this is one that you guys are gonna be like. I what?

[Shane]

Okay, what's going on?

[Amanda]

That's enough. That's enough. Stop, Stop, stop, stop, stop.

[Shane]

This is a review you wrote. Did you write this, like, in your notes?

[Amanda]

No, no, no. I. Screenshot. Enough. Stop.

[Shane]

Oh. Oh, you. You found letterbox reviews.

[Amanda]

Okay, here we go. Try to guess this. This isn't kind of a bit of a niche one, but this is a newer movie.

[Shane]

Okay. Okay.

[Amanda]

I'm just glad we're seeing kids go outside again instead of being glued to their iPad screens.

[Shane]

Okay, is this like.

[Amanda]

This is four. Four.

[Ian Hecox]

Miko, Stand by Me.

[Amanda]

This is a new movie.

[Shane]

New movie.

[Amanda]

No one questioned why this kid is running the town dry of tinned soup. Like, here comes soup Boy. Three stars by Jay.

[Ian Hecox]

What?

[Shane]

Oh, shoot. I may not have seen this. Have I seen this movie? Yes, I have.

[Caroline]

Yes.

[Shane]

Oh, God. Okay, kids getting outside.

[Amanda]

Three and a half stars by coffee. You can tell this is made by a former sketch comedian because it's almost entirely set up for one really good bit. Weapons.

[Shane]

Nice. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Amanda]

That was just one that I wanted. That I wanted to do.

[Shane]

No, that's good. That's good.

[Caroline]

Wait, can I read you guys one that Caroline. Caroline, who's our lovely pa, wrote.

[Shane]

Caroline, this is a review.

[Amanda]

Wait. Okay, okay. So Caroline, our PA wrote this review.

[Caroline]

Yes. She gave this movie five stars. Loved it. Being better than the men around you, rocking a bob and having a horse.

[Amanda]

Like, yeah, having a bob. Better than the men around you. So who has a bob? Who's on a horse with a bob?

[Shane]

Okay, okay. I'm trying to think of movies. It's not. It makes you think of, like, Mirror, Mirror. Like, Princess Diaries.

[Amanda]

Is this, like, a popular one? She doesn't have a bob on a horse.

[Ian Hecox]

Is it a new movie or a

[Shane]

bob on a horse?

[Caroline]

No, I wouldn't say this is a new movie.

[Amanda]

Hmm.

[Shane]

Okay. Oh, well, you know who has a bob on a horse?

[Amanda]

Who?

[Shane]

Lord Farquaad.

[Amanda]

Shrek.

[Caroline]

Wait, no, but that's funny.

[Amanda]

It says, being better than all the men around you. I don't think Lord Farquaad. Remember when you had his haircut and you kept telling me that I had his haircut?

[Shane]

No, I said you had the haircut of a 13th century crusader.

[Amanda]

And then I did the berries and cream commercial.

[Shane]

Yeah, I did catch that.

[Amanda]

And I put a wig on and it looked like exactly like my hair. What?

[Shane]

I don't think. I know.

[Amanda]

Okay, I think a bob on a horse.

[Ian Hecox]

Wait, is it Werthering Heights? No, she.

[Amanda]

She does not have a bob. You're crazy.

[Shane]

He has more of a bob.

[Caroline]

She gave it four and a half stars and says, I love in movies when men are stupid idiots and girls save the day. Wait, did Caroline also. Okay, so she wrote a second review.

[Shane]

Caroline. Caroline wrote all those.

[Amanda]

Caroline really needed to get her thoughts.

[Caroline]

Appeals to every little girl's dream and desires. Duplicity, deception, and being exceedingly better than their male peers. And having a kill count.

[Amanda]

Oh, she's a murderer.

[Shane]

Do you think Caroline.

[Amanda]

Do you think.

[Shane]

I've seen this movie.

[Caroline]

You guys have all seen.

[Shane]

I've seen this movie.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay, all seen it.

[Amanda]

Did we mention it?

[Ian Hecox]

It's a woman with a horse and

[Shane]

she rides a horse. She's got a bob. I. I feel like.

[Caroline]

Okay, Ella gave it five stars, and this is gonna give it away. The L in LGBT is for Li.

[Amanda]

Shang.

[Shane]

Oh, is this the lawn?

[Caroline]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

She has a.

[Ian Hecox]

Does she have a.

[Amanda]

She does kind of have.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

That's really good.

[Ian Hecox]

I got a review for this.

[Amanda]

Okay, great movie.

[Ian Hecox]

I demand a weasel spin off. Yes, I understand he killed 27 children, but just look at the little guy.

[Shane]

Is this, like, Fifel goes west or something?

[Amanda]

All right, are you gonna answer?

[Shane]

What if I was right? He's like. Yeah, you got it right. All right, we're done.

[Amanda]

Wait. Okay.

[Shane]

All right. A weasel spin off. Sure. He killed.

[Amanda]

Okay, this is creepy.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay, he killed 27 children, but just look at the little guy.

[Shane]

The hell?

[Ian Hecox]

I feel like maybe this isn't good.

[Shane]

Give us another review.

[Amanda]

No, no, give me.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay, I'll give you another review.

[Shane]

Yeah, I was reading, like, 10 reviews before you guys were guessing them.

[Amanda]

Yeah, it's okay. Ian, come on.

[Shane]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay. This happened to a couple of my friends a few years ago.

[Shane]

Okay? They. People leave that on. On every single thing.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay, here's another one. Weasel. My Beloved.

[Amanda]

That's not gonna actually help us in any capacity.

[Ian Hecox]

Not gonna lie. Getting choked to death by Margot Robbie seems fun. I feel like that could be multiple Margot Robbie movies.

[Amanda]

Wolf of Wall Street.

[Ian Hecox]

Nope.

[Amanda]

There was no children killed in that movie. Wuthering Heights.

[Ian Hecox]

This person said, I don't care. I'm just gonna say it. King Shard is a king. Shark is a himbo.

[Shane]

Oh, this is Suicide Squad.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Nice.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, there was that weird weasel thing.

[Shane]

Yeah, you're right.

[Amanda]

Weird.

[Shane]

Forgot about that.

[Ian Hecox]

I just recently watched it for the first time.

[Amanda]

Okay, I think you guys are gonna get this really, really good.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Four and a half stars by Camilla. Ed Warren exercised this. Pu.

[Shane]

Wait, sorry, sorry. Can you repeat that? Can you repeat?

[Amanda]

Four and a half stars by Camilla, Ed Warren. Exercise this.

[Ian Hecox]

Put.

[Shane]

Ed Warren exercised this.

[Ian Hecox]

Is it the Exorcist?

[Amanda]

Nope.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, okay.

[Amanda]

Look me dead in the eyes and tell me James Wan isn't into puppets. A little too much. Two and a half stars by Jay.

[Ian Hecox]

James Wan. Is that a director?

[Amanda]

Yes, puppets. Four and a half stars by Vi. Thought my house was haunted because the TV kept turning off. Turns out I was sitting on the remote.

[Shane]

I'm sorry. Does that review have anything to do with the movie?

[Amanda]

Thought my house was haunted because the TV kept shutting off. Turns out I was sitting on the remote.

[Shane]

It's not even. Does that play a part of the movie?

[Amanda]

Annabelle, you're getting close.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay.

[Shane]

Conjuring.

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, and here's one in it.

[Amanda]

Annabelle's in it. Here's what I wanted to read to you because you are a sicko. And do this. Five stars by Reese. One of the little girls slept without the blanket covering her feet and was shocked when a demon grabbed her. Question mark. You always sleep with your leg out, dude, you're gonna get snatched, Shane. You're gonna get snatched.

[Shane]

I know. I believe that.

[Amanda]

That's the conjuring, I think. Such a good horror movie. So dark. This game is fun.

[Shane]

I don't know, but I don't know

[Ian Hecox]

if y' all have seen this, but it's a newer. It's a new movie. Came out in 2025. Probably haven't I said my review was. The Major sure loves to talk about nut sacks.

[Amanda]

What are you doing?

[Shane]

Sorry. When did you say this movie came out?

[Ian Hecox]

2025.

[Amanda]

25.

[Shane]

The Major sure likes to talk about nut sacks. Is it the new Avatar movie?

[Amanda]

No. Oh, that's a good guess. They don't even have nuts, do they?

[Ian Hecox]

I'll give you another one. I think these ones are gonna be fun.

[Amanda]

Is this same movie?

[Ian Hecox]

Yes.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Ian Hecox]

All right, I got another one. Okay. So I'd be the guy.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Ian Hecox]

I'd be the I don't know why this made me laugh. I'd be the guy dying.

[Shane]

Sorry.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, no. Okay, Sorry. I'd be the guy dying. Cause he. Sorry. Fuck. What the fuck?

[Shane]

There's nothing that has made Ian laugh this hard. Dude, I've never seen you like this. What? Got you?

[Ian Hecox]

All right. I'd be the guy dying because he has to.

[Amanda]

That's what's making you laugh so hard. Dude, I feel cute.

[Shane]

It feels like Jurassic Park.

[Amanda]

No, I've never seen a guy.

[Shane]

Does that happen? It's a Jurassic Park. A guy dies because he has to.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I remember. Well, he's on the toilet.

[Ian Hecox]

He's scared.

[Amanda]

He's very crazy.

[Shane]

Yeah, but he kind of does, because.

[Amanda]

What's happening here?

[Shane]

I don't know.

[Ian Hecox]

Here's another review. Yowie so doomed, they kept calling each other brothers.

[Amanda]

We've definitely not seen this movie.

[Ian Hecox]

I'd honestly sign up just to make a friend, like Pete.

[Amanda]

Okay. The band, the show, the movie.

[Ian Hecox]

This. This one should give it away. Thought it was about walking. Then came the poop.

[Shane]

Is this the Long Walk?

[Ian Hecox]

Yes.

[Shane]

I haven't seen the Long Walk, but.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God.

[Shane]

Oh, that makes sense, that someone dies because they have to.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Shane]

Well, you know what's funny?

[Ian Hecox]

Because shitting is hard.

[Shane]

I know. The premise of the movie is that they have to keep walking. And if you stop walking, you get killed. Yeah, but, like, marathon runners shit themselves and keep running all the time.

[Amanda]

Why would anyone want to watch this movie?

[Shane]

Well, it's a. It's a Stephen King book. Turned.

[Ian Hecox]

It's great movie.

[Shane]

I've really, really, really good.

[Amanda]

Really good.

[Ian Hecox]

But, yeah. Yeah, there's a couple of people where shitting is. Is, like. Is. It's a problem.

[Shane]

I think it's funny that in the same year, two Stephen King books got turned into movies. The Running man and the. Oh, that Running Man. It was okay. I saw it.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

I watched it one. One day just at home. It's fine.

[Amanda]

Oh, Ian, did you notice the table?

[Ian Hecox]

You know, it's funny, I. Because I know people were asking for a table.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah.

[Amanda]

They were.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, yeah.

[Amanda]

There's no way. I didn't even hear about that.

[Shane]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't check.

[Caroline]

Did you.

[Shane]

No, I didn't know that.

[Caroline]

Wait, I got one more from Caroline.

[Shane]

Okay, Caroline. Okay.

[Amanda]

Caroline's gonna close us out here.

[Caroline]

Five stars. Loved it. Irish boy wants to be in the center of a dance circle so bad, he makes it a whole thing. I had two slushies, half bag of popcorn and half bag of gummy worms. Yum, yum, yum.

[Ian Hecox]

Titanic.

[Shane]

That makes sense.

[Amanda]

That makes sense.

[Ian Hecox]

Thank you.

[Amanda]

He's not Irish, though.

[Shane]

Irish boy. No, he's not Irish, but there were.

[Ian Hecox]

There were Irish people.

[Amanda]

Oh, yeah. Remember the Irish friends?

[Shane]

Center of a dance circle. So bad.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, is it? Is it? I hate that I keep bringing up emerald fennel movies, but Saltburn. Saltburn? I don't know.

[Amanda]

Is it Saltburn?

[Shane]

How recent is this movie?

[Caroline]

It's a new movie. It came out in 2025.

[Shane]

Oh, shit.

[Ian Hecox]

Irish boy. Once.

[Shane]

I may not have seen it, I swear. Are there other reviews for this movie?

[Caroline]

Mac gave it four and a half stars. Standing ovulation. I mean, ovation.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Caroline]

Joe A. Gave it four and a half stars. That one sequence. You'll know when you see it. Magnum opus type scene. Spirit awakening type scene. Inspirational. Foundational Sinners.

[Amanda]

Yes. So what about the two slushies? Damn, that was just Carol.

[Shane]

You were doing work.

[Amanda]

My God.

[Shane]

The conception was like. Are you gonna watch the movie?

[Amanda]

Jesus, you keep coming back slushy. Hit me, man.

[Shane]

Come on, hit me.

[Amanda]

Sinners is rocking me.

[Ian Hecox]

Can we talk about some of our lowest rated movies?

[Shane]

I want to know what some of your lowest rated movies that you.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay, so I got. I got. This one's an all Timer. Wonder Woman, 1984.

[Shane]

That movie's pretty rough. I need the stone.

[Amanda]

Wow. Did it in voice.

[Ian Hecox]

That.

[Shane]

Was that your review for it?

[Ian Hecox]

No, I didn't leave a review. Don't worry, darling.

[Amanda]

Rarely has there been a gap so enormous between how. How smart a movie thinks it is and how smart it actually is.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Amanda]

Harry Styles performance on icarly was much better, in my opinion.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, dude. It is like the best way to describe that movie. And I'm. This is not my original thought. This is somebody else's thought. Was like a white woman's attempt at making a Jordan Peele movie.

[Amanda]

Oh, that is brilliant.

[Ian Hecox]

Like, it felt like a student film that had like a $200 million budget.

[Caroline]

Whoa.

[Amanda]

Well, there was so much drama surrounding it because she. Apparently, Olivia Wilde was dating Harry Styles during the shooting. And that's where.

[Ian Hecox]

I don't care about that.

[Amanda]

Well, the Truman show, but Harry Styles violently eats pussy.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, there was a. Yeah, there was. There was that scene.

[Amanda]

Listen, I think Harry Styles is cute. I don't ever want to see him do that.

[Ian Hecox]

Sorry.

[Amanda]

I don't know what it is. I don't like it.

[Ian Hecox]

I don't want that. Tiptoes. Have you guys ever seen Tiptoes?

[Shane]

I am very aware of Tiptoes.

[Amanda]

Isn't that Gary Old. Not Gary Oldman.

[Ian Hecox]

It is Gary Oldman playing a little person.

[Shane]

It is a.

[Ian Hecox]

They just have. Shuffling around on his knees, and when he's sitting in a couch, they have. He has a little, like, puppet legs.

[Amanda]

Oh, I saw.

[Ian Hecox]

And he's like. He's clearly, like, in the couch. And this is a serious movie. This is not a comedy.

[Shane]

Matthew McConaughey.

[Ian Hecox]

It's Matthew McConaughey. Its Matthew McConaughey and Gary Oldman are brothers. I think twin brothers. I think they're maybe twins. I forget they're brothers.

[Shane]

So Matthew McConaughey McHale make fun of this movie all the time on the soup or.

[Ian Hecox]

I don't know. His brother is supposed to be a little person, but it's played by Gary Oldman on his knees.

[Shane]

And.

[Ian Hecox]

And it's like an Oscar bait movie. Like, they. Like they were really.

[Amanda]

Gary Oldman's a great actor.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah. Not. Yeah, but speaking of another, like, total train wreck Oscar bait movie music.

[Shane]

I don't even know if I've heard about this.

[Amanda]

Wait, is that Sia's movie?

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, Sia's movie where she.

[Amanda]

Like, the dance. Okay. Speaking of dance moms, which we weren't speaking of, but I'm thinking about dance moms for some reason, which I'll explain later. One of the lead in Dance Moms is the lead in music, and she plays someone. She just. It's not the right casting.

[Shane]

Sure, sure.

[Amanda]

Okay. But I do have a lot of review that I think you guys are gonna get four stars. Jiba. Toni Collette deserves a normal family.

[Ian Hecox]

Hereditary.

[Shane]

Six cents.

[Amanda]

Sixth Sense.

[Shane]

We. We nailed two different ones. Yeah. She. Boy, she loves to play moms that are haunted.

[Amanda]

One of my favorite movies, 6 cents is incredible. Of all time.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

And then I told you that I didn't realize the little boy's name is Cole. And I've loved the name Cole forever. That's my son's name.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, boy.

[Amanda]

Should I ask him if he sees dead people?

[Shane]

And he's just like, bah. Huh?

[Ian Hecox]

He just.

[Amanda]

No, that's his thing now. He goes, huh?

[Shane]

I think we're out of time.

[Amanda]

I think we're out of time.

[Ian Hecox]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Wow. Ian could be here all day.

[Shane]

Look at him.

[Ian Hecox]

I could be here all day.

[Shane]

I love just talking about movies.

[Caroline]

Me too.

[Shane]

We do. This is what we do most of the time.

[Amanda]

Yes. We talk about movies. We talk about shows that we're watching.

[Ian Hecox]

Is that. Is that a problem?

[Shane]

No. That's awesome.

[Amanda]

It's We. We love our medium. It's fine. It's great.

[Shane]

We love our medium. They tell us about ghosts that they see.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, they're from Long Island.

[Amanda]

You guys are awesome.

[Shane]

We do really just love shows and movies.

[Amanda]

Yeah. So.

[Ian Hecox]

And I love you guys.

[Amanda]

Oh, that's the first time you've ever said that.

[Shane]

Never.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah, you probably won't hear it again.

[Amanda]

And that's the hardest I've ever seen you laugh. And it was about poop.

[Shane]

Shitting while walking.

[Ian Hecox]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Ian Hecox]

Nothing goes together like Stephen King and pooping.

[Shane]

That is true.

[Amanda]

That is so true.

[Shane]

That is true. Ian, thank you for joining us.

[Ian Hecox]

Thank you. You're gonna ask me, like, what my socials are? No, they can find me.

[Amanda]

You can find Ian somewhere watching a movie.

[Ian Hecox]

That's probably true.

[Shane]

That is actually true. You watch a movie every day, you said.

[Ian Hecox]

Oh, wait, quick. What movies are you guys looking forward to? One. One movie. One movie. One movie.

[Shane]

I still need to see Project Hail Mary because I love the book. I love the book and I just haven't gotten a chance to see it yet.

[Amanda]

The Taste of Things. I actually French movie.

[Shane]

And I am excited. I'm excited for that Resident Evil movie.

[Ian Hecox]

Could be good.

[Shane]

The director of Weapons could be good.

[Amanda]

I think it's good. Me and Spencer and Angela are going to go if you want to maybe come. You just can't sit next to us.

[Shane]

Already planned. You already planned this.

[Amanda]

Yeah, of course. All we do is text about Resident Evil. I'm actually not kidding.

[Ian Hecox]

You know what? You know what I think could be a banger movie. I'm just going to call it Sheep Detectives. What is that up? Nope.

[Amanda]

You know what? I can't wait to see the mummy. The new mummy.

[Ian Hecox]

What the. The guy's name Mummy?

[Amanda]

No, the Mummy.

[Ian Hecox]

Because they have, like, the Lee. Whatever's.

[Shane]

Mommy. New mummy.

[Ian Hecox]

That mummy with the girl.

[Amanda]

Yep.

[Shane]

All right. Comment down below what movies you're excited.

[Amanda]

So judgmental.

[Shane]

Comment down below what movies you're excited to see what your favorite movie is.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

What your least favorite movie is. Talk about movies down below.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

And we'll see you next week. Bye. Bye.

[Doug]

And Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual. Even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.

[Caroline]

Hey, everyone, Check out this guy and his bird. What is this your first date?

[Shane]

Oh, no.

[Doug]

We help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Me to a human, him to a bird.

[Shane]

Yeah, the bird looks out of your league anyways.

[Doug]

Get a [e-mail] or with your local agent.

[Shane]

Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty.
