on smack my pitch up are those of the panelists and not that of the gui media 0:12 network or associated brands and sponsors listener discretion is advised 0:18 this podcast is rated r for violence language and nudity because clothing is 0:24 a prison and society will not cage me 0:35 in a world with too many reboots and remakes two men will stop at nothing to 0:40 make it even worse this is smack my picture 0:48 [Music] 1:01 hello geeks and welcome to another little mini episode of smack my pitch up mashups and uh here with me as always is 1:08 tandy i'm the butter for the potatoes because they're mash-ups 1:13 wow i'll be upset if i wasn't more jealous than upset about the fact that you came 1:18 up with that joke before i did so i'm here to make the people happy and 1:24 food makes us all happy and if you are listening and have listened before then you are partial to dad jokes because no 1:30 one's going to hate dad jokes and listen to this this show more than once uh let's be fair here 1:36 but for those i'm familiar with to be fair we'll never tell you how old we actually are so uh yeah yeah just it's 1:42 okay just rest assured it's okay it is fine we are of the age bracket that this is acceptable 1:48 and uh for those unfamiliar with this version of the short episodes of smackdown pitch up it is a 1:54 relatively new experiment we're doing is taking the match up from the main episode and giving it time to really 2:00 breathe a little bit more so we're going to be mashing up uh the latest episode 2:05 with uh other properties to see what might stick what doesn't and last 2:10 episode we talked about the warriors the uh we are the warriors yeah it is a 2:18 uh i guess the grittier not really american cousin to a 2:25 clockwork orange is a little bit uh the 70s or west side story sure yeah 2:33 yeah i'm just picturing and that's the first matchup that i thought of with this is that there's this alternate world like everything's everything's 2:40 multiverse right now in in pop culture so there's a multiverse where it's the 2:46 clockwork orange world and the warriors world and they're part of the same world it's just 2:52 different cultures uh version of the yeah well you know a world ruled by 2:58 gangs you could actually do that because both of them are not quite right like the gangs seem to be way more powerful 3:05 entities than they actually should be so yeah that that does kind of work i'm like significantly and i'm used to this 3:12 in action movies i really am like the number of fast and furious movies where i'm like this is a whole city and you have like three cops is kind of 3:19 ridiculous um or all the cops show up together at the same time there isn't 3:24 there's one or the other you have like maybe no cops or one cop or 300 cop cars there's no in between 3:32 yeah but yeah with the warriors the situations where you get the 300 cop cars of the movies where the cops are 3:37 intentionally like uh they're not good at being cops so you just just strengthen numbers just 3:44 the the blues brothers all incompetent yeah just all the cops following the car like did 3:50 none of the cops think to like maybe drive ahead like stop them 3:55 ahead of time no okay cool they're all in like the the the banana in your tailpipe squad they're just 4:01 they're all just like eddie axel foley's foiled all of them at the same time 4:08 well i did like in clockwork orange where there's the moment where his former droogs are now police officers 4:13 and they're like yeah it's basically the same thing and uh there's a nice little jab at authority but it's also kind of true in 4:20 in the circumstances of that film and well life but there wasn't that same conversation happening in the warriors 4:26 but you could see that i would love to have a moment where like alec and his and his droogies go on vacation to like 4:34 rockaway beach or something and they end up running into the warriors or all the baseball furies or 4:39 all the different warrior gangs uh would be pretty asking 4:44 immediately what neighborhood they're from because they're wearing their drew costumes exactly and their cod piece in pajamas 4:50 or whatever they start talking in that like fantasy cockney or whatever they're doing from uh clockwork orange and the 4:57 other gangs from new york are like what the [ __ ] are you talking about a little early i leaned out then the 5:04 milk bars and the warriors are like i i don't know what 5:09 you're i thought i'd spoke english but our gangs are 60 000 strong and we have 5:15 one gun between us somebody go get the gun somebody get the one get one gun 5:21 [Laughter] uh yeah i want to see that version of west side story and warriors versus 5:27 droogs uh one gun story which actually does i guess technically fit 5:32 in website story no they used a knife what was it a gun i don't remember doesn't matter anyway i think i believe 5:39 that there was so i haven't seen west side story in a long time i didn't see the new one 5:44 but uh when the lead murders that dude that was that a gun or did they have a knife fight 5:51 i think body shots no i think he there was a gun involved but that's not what was used to to shoot them at the uh 5:58 in the warehouse fight scene or whatever i think that was a knife the gun was used later gotcha to shoot 6:05 to shoot dude that yeah the main dude the main you know the maria was like 6:11 i wanna i wanna do this i wanna do this guy yeah you know so i do wanna see west 6:18 side story but only because it's a spielberg film i don't like musicals that much and i just otherwise i have no 6:24 interest in seeing that movie uh i saw it i and i do like musicals not all but yeah i 6:30 do have an appreciation for them uh this movie a west side story didn't really need to be made it's 6:36 beautiful it's a very beautiful movie it's choreographed incredibly well uh the colors are vibrant the 6:42 choreography is incredible looks great um costuming is good singing's fine you 6:48 know like everything's good but there's nothing about it that like needed to be made like the old movie's 6:54 fine you don't it's it's not it's not uh breaking any new ground no it just has a little bit of 7:00 that uh cinematic uh spielberg pixie dust on it um that it's just 7:07 beautifully shot looks great but it's not so much of an improvement it needed to be done 7:13 how's ansel elgort he seemed like a weird choice to me i had no idea that he 7:18 could sing and apparently uh yeah he can he can sing very well he's 7:25 uh he's he did a great job i feel like that's part of your formal acting training um you know not as many 7:31 actors in the modern time have formal acting training but if you get it i feel like you know being able to sing 7:37 uh passively at least is part of it because that happens all the time where you get an actor actress that's in a 7:42 movie where they have a singing part and they've been in film for 20 years and not sung and then suddenly they come out 7:49 and have to sing apart okay cool rosario dawson did that with rent uh russell 7:55 crowe didn't do that also the studio can get anybody a vocal coach true it's like it's like getting it's like getting beef 8:01 nasty for your role you're like uh you're a skinny dude the studio can hire anybody to make you 8:07 you know shredded so they can definitely hire somebody to make you a passable singer so what was 8:13 russell crowe's excuse in les miserables because he was terrible 8:18 in that it was bad his ego told him he didn't need a vocal coach yeah probably he's 8:24 like it'd be more gritty it'd be more gritty if i sounded like this right 8:29 and i think it was ryan reynolds one some likable actor that mentioned 8:34 about getting ripped for a role he's like yeah the trick is be rich like it's not this isn't a 8:40 complicated thing like you have rob mcinney or uh the the dude from it's 8:45 always something oh that's right yeah that's who he said yeah that he said yeah it's not complicated you get a personal trainer that like pushes you 8:52 and you like have no say in the matter and then you'll get ripped yeah yeah and 8:57 there's no pleasure and spend all your time dedicated to the thing yeah yeah and then ta-da yeah it's not complicated 9:05 the rest of us are trying to have like a life and enjoy i don't know food and you know worldly delights 9:11 no because we're all going to die eventually anyway you might as well have fun on the way yeah absolutely i guess 9:18 uh yeah i'm not going to be i guess fun is something actually famous in any way shape or form at any point in my life i 9:23 don't think so i might as well enjoy this cheeseburger you know that's 9:28 yeah well you never know but you know there's no there's no restrictions on being famous you can be famous 9:35 and be in any shape or look like anything so that's not the biggest concern there i'm 9:41 i'm in the uh but uh today's just the uh jack black camp of 9:48 lovable chubby bearded man vibe that's uh that's what i'm going for 9:53 yeah but when you're rich you can get ripped at any time that's true that's true and it'll be that like chris pratt 9:58 moment of like he used to be chubby and now he's not oh my god 10:04 [Laughter] with some people going oh that's that's a horrible betrayal yep can you can you just wear the fat 10:10 thor outfit or i i love yeah there's a little bit of blow back for thor losing weight but to 10:16 the credit of the movie even from the trailer it shows that they are actually showing him working off the weight it's 10:21 not like that magic transformation off-screen thing um so that's that's appreciated the only 10:27 time that i can remember that the showing the working out didn't go over well was in the series battlestar 10:32 galactica uh but that's because the gateway game was like nonsense like it didn't it was 10:38 for no reason it was a very weird choice that they were like about the modern one the modern one yeah 10:44 i don't know if you've seen that or not i haven't seen any of it i know that edward james almost is on it and that is 10:50 all that i have for the modern battle star galactica if if you had about 200 other things to it then you got the 10:57 basic just to the show but yeah no edward james almost is amazing in it he's incredible this doesn't spoil 11:03 anything apollo who's his son uh just gets fat at one point he's like i guess 11:08 i'm gonna get fat and so his character just gets fat and he's wearing a terrible fat suit and then i don't know 11:14 where they were planning on going with it but i guess it just wasn't go selling very well so like the beginning of the next is it like is it part of the 11:20 narrative or just something that you don't like what happens to people kind of but yeah but it's more of like you know that he's 11:27 he's losing focus or whatever i don't know that kind of thing like it's not really necessary at all like they could have 11:34 portrayed that in so many other ways besides a really bad fat suit um but then it just shows him like to get 11:39 married and have kids or something or uh not quite but there was a little family space pilot now 11:46 he was depressed because he wasn't with the one he actually wanted to be with or something and there was no they weren't 11:51 fighting robots at the moment so he's like i don't know what to do with my time i guess i'll eat sandwiches and then he just gained a bunch of 11:56 weight and then the season happens beginning of the next season he it starts with him being like 12:02 somebody handing him a jump rope and be like get your [ __ ] together man he's like okay and then shows him jumping rope and then it's like three months 12:08 later and it's him like without the fat suit on just like putting his jumper like cool after three months of jump 12:13 roping i'm back to my regular yeah regular look of not being fat it 12:18 was a great choice it was great uh great cinema there 12:25 wasn't uh confusing and bewildering at all so so back to the uh the the mashups 12:32 because you're you're the the west side story mashup uh got me thinking about something i 12:37 don't want to lose focus on that sure sure which is um the warriors 12:43 and not too far moved time-wise uh the gang from the community center uh of 12:50 breaking and breaking too so turbo and ozone and the gang yes and so new york has transitioned into 12:57 breakdance fighting and the warriors are trying to transition into this new way of being in new york city trying to find their 13:03 footing but then somebody kills their new leader but not literally they just do like a 13:08 michael jackson spin and like a sick moonwalk and totally destroys leaders 13:14 rep in the community and the lawyers have to train to get good enough at break dancing to win the day 13:21 who trains them turbo and ozone breaking three the warriors that's incredible i 13:27 would watch the [ __ ] out of that and i just want that moment where the warriors are like so good that 13:32 uh the opposing side somebody starts breakdancing up the ceiling as expected 13:39 uh and then one of the warriors like oh yeah and then they start go dancing on the ceiling and it's like oh no moment 13:45 like they have like the magic kung fu moment of like no i've learned the five finger death punch as well moment i 13:52 would love that yeah i i just want to i believe in the beat montage and somehow the warriors are saving the 13:58 community center again i just yeah cool into it but because it's a warriors movie somebody has to get stabbed at 14:04 some point it may be the end or yeah yeah somebody right before they're about to like 14:09 do the robot or something they like open their arm up to do the little swingy thing and they get stabbed in the side 14:15 or somebody puts a knife in their hand when they're doing the like tick-tock clock arm thing and then they 14:20 stab themselves on the side it's perfect i love it 14:26 i believe in the and then you get the audible record scratch on the soundtrack as they stab themselves in the beats 14:32 what else was i thinking there's well one of the other mash-ups that we mentioned i think i think we might have mentioned it on 14:38 the show where you mentioned it in the recording it got cut out but uh batman 66. yes because of the henchmen 14:46 mm-hmm because of the other the gotham style uh henchmen with their 14:51 cute little costumes matching outfits would slot nicely into the the warriors 14:57 genre so the warriors road trip into gotham city i do think that was in the final edit but yeah um 15:03 that yeah the warriors becoming part of the batman universe would be pretty incredible um 15:12 maybe they go to gotham city to like try to like be the hit like mr zazz is looking for new henchmen and the 15:17 warriors are like oh we we could hang with mr zazz i like that yeah and they roll up but they're they might 15:23 be a gang it might be a street tufts but they have like a moral center so they're like not down with victor's ass he does 15:29 some stuff a little too too freaky deaky so if victor's house works how about this mr zazz is is like you know what i 15:36 like the cuttier jib warriors and i can take all of you except for ajax because mr zazz is not down with rapists 15:44 everybody can come ajax i think i'm going to cut you up actually 15:49 and the wrestlers are like fair fair enough fair yeah yeah damn so 15:54 even victor says i was like dude there's a line like you 16:00 you yeah what's the the guardians of yelling things like i might be an [ __ ] but i'm not 100 a dick like this 16:06 victor's ass being like nah man like that's just not cool i'm into that i would love to see the wars as a roving 16:12 gang and like anything where there's like other groups to fight like the avengers uh or no more the defenders 16:20 the defenders let's do oh let's do street level um [ __ ] iron fist and uh daredevil 16:27 and uh power man and uh we've got jessica jones and and 16:33 yeah and punisher rolling in and the warriors are like no that's not fair he brought 16:38 many guns like punisher brought too many guns we have knives i don't that was not part of 16:44 the i had this piece of window pane that broke but when i was looking for a weapon i have a pipe he's got an ak-47 16:51 he's got five of them those are his little guns this is not fair 16:56 is he is that about how about the the warriors the warriors show up in the avengers 17:02 movie but it's their own movie but it's it's on the uh the day that the chitauri 17:07 invaded and it's the warriors trying to deal with the chitauri invasion at coney island 17:12 that i make that a whole movie of just like some locals local street tuffs uh that 17:18 are fighting the chatari on the beach would be our tony island imagine just a sequence where like they end up fighting 17:25 and end up falling into like the the tilt-a-whirl or something and they're just fighting with shitara in the 17:32 world or the the [ __ ] or the background the roller coaster goes by and there's like a warrior and a chitauri on the standing up on the 17:38 coaster like stabbing at each other marvel you need to be listening to this show because 17:43 these are clearly dumb ideas but everyone would go see it everyone would 17:49 go see these terrible ideas the plus is that yes marvel needs more because the world is big enough now that 17:56 they can do more stuff about what happens at the street level like agents of shield had some of that 18:01 as far as like what's happening in the background while this other bigger stuff is going on sure yeah yeah but i think 18:07 that would be a lot of fun like um something that they tried to do with uh was that tv show damage control 18:13 like uh vanessa what because damage control is actually 18:18 marvel what's the the the dc version of that oh they had a tv show yeah it was the dc version of it 18:24 had alan titic and vanessa hudgens in it it wasn't damn yeah maybe that is damage control 18:30 but i thought that was marvel but yeah yeah uh yeah and one of them was bruce wayne's cousin but it was about what happens you know 18:36 in the universe outside of what specifically batman is doing or what specifically superman is doing 18:42 and we get to find out what happens to the warriors while batman and superman are doing their thing up in the sky 18:48 and i i love that i don't think it was called uh powerless was the name of the series um 18:54 yeah i'm looking at it now and uh collateral damage is the name of the company 18:59 oh don't nope that's not same concept though but yeah not collateral damage i'm not 19:04 seeing it anyway but yeah the same concept basically is a it was a gag i think on both accounts uh 19:11 i forget which company did it first but they were basically playing off of each other as this like cleanup crew 19:18 that was responsible for like because it makes sense yeah it does make sense i mean costumed heroes do make a big mess 19:23 especially in the boys universe but that's a different uh different topic 19:29 it's a bloody mess it's it's different than uh the the bricks falling and magically not hitting anybody yeah 19:34 exactly uh with the boys i would love to see just the one panel that the warriors would be in 19:40 as just a gag of the comics where right before their heads are exploding exactly they show up and they're in their 19:46 outfits and they're like yo let's rumble and then they're just missing their heads in the next panel with blood splattering 19:52 everywhere and like a train standing there just like filing his nails or something would be 19:57 a treat really yeah and and that could hold true for almost anybody 20:03 any member of the warriors could just even uh even the uh the the the ocean guy 20:09 could do that to the warriors and that would be even more fun the swimmy magoo yes 20:17 what made the warriors so interesting as a series wasn't the fact that they they uh were good 20:23 at fighting um they they were better than a lot of the gangs they ended up running across but just by happening 20:28 they were better than everybody it was ridiculous those fights i'm like this is like what why why are you guys 20:35 so tough in this situation it doesn't it doesn't make sense for you to be tough in these situations and also why did you 20:42 bring tagger dude with you on this on this mission because he's not helping he's not helping and also why are there 20:49 only nine of you when these other street gangs seem to have an unlimited supply of dudes and 20:55 there's nine of you it's like 20 30 dudes coming after you and you're like yeah we're good we're fine 21:01 we're the we're the warriors we're the warriors we like to come out and play we rumble we were taught by arthur 21:06 fonzarelli the best wish that there was a like the crow moment where where the cure is playing and he's putting on his 21:12 face makeup uh i wish there was that moment for the baseball furies where like before they come out 21:17 and like put on their roller skates and get their baseball bats and like are ready to rumble that it's just them like 21:23 maybe put me in coach playing in the background and as they're like no no instead of uh 21:29 like 90s music their background music is kiss yes they're playing some kiss in the background that's that's perfect yes 21:35 some kiss playing in the background is black diamond is blasting from the uh speakers as dude is just like covering 21:42 his face in white makeup getting ready to be up a badass gang member as you do 21:47 um looking like a baseball mime yeah i would i want that i would love it i 21:52 would love it that would be a a load of fun i'm trying to think about like tv mashups because uh 22:00 as i'm remembering i don't remember too many street gang shows or coalitions of of youths 22:07 uh from tv shows in that manner i'd be interested to see a crossover with boardwalk empire i know that's about 22:14 jersey but uh if they're trying to expand their operations to coney some time traveling the warriors yeah yeah 22:21 the warriors were where uh yeah or maybe just like this is decades later that the like 22:27 the children of whoever you know are now in operation are trying to move into 22:32 kony to get into the carnival game and uh and the warriors don't like their 22:37 turf being stepped on or something would be actually i'm thinking about time 22:43 specific stuff now i'm like all caught up i'm thinking like the warriors versus hunter if you don't remember who hunter 22:49 was hunter was basically made for tv dirty harry so fred dreyer was hunter he's the next 22:54 football player they were like i want a dirty hairy style tv show so they got 23:00 fred dryer to play hunter who is basically dirty harry he carries a big ass gun 23:05 he kills people sometimes as tv cops in the 80s did but uh yeah the warriors versus hunter 23:11 the warriors versus all of the uh the the street vigilantes of the 80s so the warriors versus knight rider 23:18 the warriors versus street hawk which is night ride on a motorcycle the warriors versus blue thunder which is knight 23:23 rider in a helicopter yep and an air wolf knight rider in the helicopter gotta do a team as well then 23:30 a team because that's the team yes a team would be [ __ ] except the warriors call the a a-team in for help 23:36 well that's what the switcheroo is is that they come in and they think that they're actually going to be fighting the warriors but then they find out that 23:42 they're on the same side and they work together to take out the real guy who's like a [ __ ] oil baron or some [ __ ] 23:48 that it's like i can't wait to see the mousetrap montage at the end where the 23:53 warriors are helping the a-team put together their their goofy little trap to get the uh the oil barons henchmen 24:00 could be awesome need one moment where one of the warriors is playing with like three glass bottles on his fingers and he's clanking them together just not 24:07 helping and then one of the a team just comes over and just snatches him off his fingers like dude and then uses them as 24:14 i don't know like glass bullets or something i don't know and and then as as b.a barakas walks away 24:20 the warrior does that uh petulant arm cross and look at the side look at him 24:26 oh ain't i a stinker i just want that moment at the 24:33 end when they win is that they look at each other like arms crossed but then they give that like knowing nod like 24:38 okay you pass muster like you guys are you guys are chill at the very end of it man whatever 24:44 happened to terrible montages terrible goofy ass montages they are 24:50 stuff getting done so we could get to the end they went out of style and the montages are some of the best moments in 24:57 a certain generational television for sure you know what the last great montage was 25:03 it was the uh the building of the the the time machine the wrist time machines and end game 25:09 remember when hulk gave like ant-man like tacos and 25:16 the tacos were push up my glasses uh the tacos were when hulk was going on to the milano to 25:23 go to a new oh they were gonna go get thor yep um yeah i'm trying to think 25:28 there was another montage recently that it's probably like fast and furious 10 or something let's build this rocket car 25:35 right let's get this fiat into space [Laughter] 25:40 you see everybody's like doing stuff to help except for tyrese there's montage music in the background 25:46 you can't hear him talking [ __ ] but he's just talking [ __ ] the whole time see i don't i don't even want to talk [ __ ] on tyrese in those movies because like i 25:53 want his gig i want to be the guy that just [ __ ] about everything and doesn't do anything and is ineffective 25:58 throughout all the movies doesn't do anything to help but somehow just keeps getting invited to these little like 26:04 crimes like let's bring the guy that doesn't do anything and just talk [ __ ] the whole time yeah yeah we gotta have him too 26:10 it's great well we feel bad for tyrese just he can come 26:16 it's no fun unless there's somebody bitching so might as well [Laughter] 26:22 because somehow that's supposed to be entertaining i guess or whatever in the meantime you've got ludacris who's like 26:28 a street racer turned like math professor like reed richards yeah i 26:33 turned him into read like like kung fu expert reed richards 26:38 i want to see the warriors in the fast and furious movies just to see what their cars would look like 26:45 what the because part of me thinks it'd be like post-apocalyptic looking but other parts of me think this is gonna be 26:50 closer to like the car in condor man where it's just gonna have fringe everywhere and like orange and brown 26:56 there was a car in condorman yeah he had a condor car yeah he had wow if i 27:02 remember correctly it was like it looked like it was like a truck like a like a big like delivery truck um but no no no 27:08 my friend there was a hidden like [ __ ] porsche or something that had like condor wing 27:14 uh feathers all over it was it was it like the dumb and dumber dog truck 27:20 kind of but like a ferrari and feathers a super underrated uh disney classic 27:26 there condor man so i have never seen condor man all the way through but it was something that 27:32 would play on um like saturday afternoon tvs from time to time so i've seen clips 27:37 from it i i never knew if it was something i should try to catch or not did the premise 27:43 kind of strained even my youthful credulity uh i'd say that it's worth your time if you say have a couple 27:49 friends and maybe a couple beverages or other inebriates available to you then it might be a fun time to uh sit through 27:56 and enjoy uh that's definitely like a beautiful disastrous type of uh vibe there but 28:02 it's not something that you watch so if i have the time would it would i choose condor man or what i want to watch back 28:08 episodes of mighty isis uh i think actually the choice is 28:15 cleopatra 2020 uh if you are familiar at all uh yeah 28:21 cleopatra 2020 i think is from my time though i believe that's a show from like my time of watching television yes yes 28:28 as opposed to like before or so that was uh before like before 90s right yeah that was uh like late 90s that was 28:34 before gina torres joined with the firefly crew she was on cleopatra 2020. 28:40 and uh yeah that's a nice upgrade upgrade for her i think very much uh that that show 28:46 sucked um and then you get to be in the matrix so yeah yeah like a nice 28:52 well i mean when you're married to morpheus uh yeah you he can make that [ __ ] happen so 28:57 [Laughter] um i think he makes stuff happen he does he does 29:02 uh we are at the tail end of our episode here so we did not uh i don't know we laid some some golden 29:09 eggs here for disney i think for some i feel like we did i feel like we did some pretty awesome mashups for 29:16 uh uh if you go back and listen to the episode kids we had some um not really trouble with 29:22 the warriors because it ended up being a really decent episode but it was a lot of work it was to get there a lot of 29:28 consideration went into that one but i think what's worse is that as much work as the 29:34 main episode was uh your idea of incorporating breaking and breaking two into the warriors is like clearly the 29:40 best choice out of everything that we've discussed regarding the warriors and the fact that it was just an aside uh makes 29:46 everything else feel like sad and weak that's where the best stuff comes from 29:52 that's when that's where serendipity comes from yeah i want to see that breakdancing warriors movie but uh if 29:58 you have some ideas on what you want to see matched up with the warriors we want to hear it we want to hear what we missed that you think would be

episode of smack my pitch up the podcast that reboots remakes reimagine sequel 1:05 cycles and adapt some of your favorite and least favorite properties from film and television and what have you and as 1:10 always i got my co-host here dandy 1:21 that line is so iconic there are people that have never even heard of this movie that know that line 1:27 yeah it is it's crazy it was been parodied a lot of places too you know like several generations of parody 1:34 without context so somebody saw the parody and then the person who grew up with the parody not 1:40 the original was parodying the parody so i i feel like it's old enough and cult classic enough that people know 1:47 it from that like kind of like soylent green as people yeah exactly people know the line without the context and that's a feeling 1:54 that i'm starting to get with a lot of movies that i grew up with where we were making a direct reference from the movie but then movies have now made references 2:00 from the movies you grew up with and the younger generation are making references from the references and it's so removed 2:07 that they're like what what do you mean batteries not included i don't know what that movie is you know there's 2:12 there's this disconnect and yeah i guess it's pop culture hurting our feelings yeah exactly 2:18 and this was one of those movies that it didn't quite hit the uh the popular culture of things but it 2:25 absolutely did uh find its way into the the zeitgeist a little bit 2:30 uh yeah very very cult classic very cold classic we're of course talking about the warriors from uh oh god when did 2:37 this come out like 78 81 81 oh wait it's like well maybe it was because i did i did 2:43 see something saying it was released in the late 70s but i also saw something that said it was released in 81 so it 2:49 could have been 78 i think there's a re-release it's not a huge release so some of those movies the technical 2:54 release date depends on where you were and uh what what you call official but 3:00 it hit oklahoma in 81 exactly right yeah the midwest finally got to see what it was like on the tough streets 3:07 [Laughter] yeah the the interesting conception of the tough streets uh 3:13 walter hill the director of this did a lot of interesting tough streets conceptions uh he was the director of 3:19 streets of fire which if you have not had the chance to see streets of fire it's 3:24 criminally unknown like it the movie nerds know it but that's about it and it is 3:30 incredible it's it is interesting it is interesting uh the warriors also has just some some 3:37 things that uh borderline exploitation like crime gritty movies weren't really doing at 3:43 the time uh like matching outfits that wasn't really yeah it's it's conception of of what 3:50 street toughs are is uh is interesting the whole thing is very village people if you take 3:57 every scene in an 80s movie like a popular 80s movie uh where there's like a punk on a bus or 4:04 the subway that's like he mean give me them groceries man and he has like a 4:09 switchblade and everybody's got a switchblade i always got a switchblade and he's like you're interested in the switchblade with your outfit and he's 4:15 like tough punk uh that is what this movie is basically it's just a bunch of 4:21 switchblade fighting movie and it's it's gang warfare but all the gangs are 4:26 various theater kids right it's like if the jets and sharks invited all their other animal friends over 4:33 to have a dance party um panthers wow yeah right 4:39 so there's a number of different gangs in this now the basic set up this movie if you're not familiar and it's not a complicated plot so i would say that 4:46 even if you haven't seen this i'd say check it out if you can before this recording but it's not there's no heavy twists 4:52 that happen here that uh that you're gonna be you're gonna be ruined for you by no it's it's 4:58 very straightforward pretty straightforward there's all these rival gangs that have been fighting in the 5:03 streets of new york forever and there's one gang uh with one leader who is 5:09 trying to unite the gangs they're like we are more powerful than the cops if we work together and a lot of these gangs 5:16 are on board they're like you know what that's fair um as long as we get our cut we're good they all meet in what central park to 5:24 have this conversation something like that something like central park have this conversation that's uh the line can you dig it comes from 5:33 that moment it's brilliant it's it's incredible it's kind of awesome yeah yeah 5:38 and i'm getting like revved up in those scenes whenever i watch it like even re-watching it for this episode i was 5:44 just like oh yeah let's take on the cops [Laughter] um 5:50 but then yeah there's there's a gang that decides that they're gonna [ __ ] with [ __ ] and they they killed dude they 5:56 killed the the the can you dig it guys cyrus take a guy yeah he has a name i know he does uh 6:02 it's cyrus cyrus that's right the murder immediately gets blamed on the warriors 6:07 which are from coney island which if you are familiar with new york is very far away from 6:12 central park it's on the other side of the city it's uh that's how you can have a 6:18 gauntlet yeah exactly you can't have a gauntlet if it's like the next two stops over that they go that'd be like the short 6:24 film version of the warriors where they get off like two stops down the subway they fight like one gang 6:30 and that's it boring movie uh so yeah yeah there's there are 25 6:35 gangs in this movie that are mentioned by name i did not go through the 25 for 6:42 the uh yeah it's so ridiculous it is so like i know it's supposed to be gritty and 6:49 maybe it it represents the grim and gritty of the era but it's so it's a 6:54 silly ass it's really a silly ass movie it's silly yes it's very very silly 7:01 it's one of those movies that somebody saw like a clockwork orange in the 70s and they're like 7:06 gangs with costumes that's brilliant let me make it gritty so that it fits into new york city and then there's either 7:13 the better they watched batman 66. right they're like oh look at the henchman that's great yeah imagine just a bunch 7:19 of henchmen gangs running running around and it's just people like face paint and like matching outfits and it's very 7:26 wonderful and it's silliness but it's not gritty really it's got a couple moments but for the most part 7:33 so the warriors are on their way to coney island they're trying to make it home where they see it as safety and in 7:38 the meantime uh the gramercy riffs who are the gang that are kind of organizing all the other gangs who has cyrus who 7:45 who gets killed uh there they believe that it was the warrior's fault there's a dj that's speaking on 7:52 the radio letting people know where the warriors might be and there's like a price on their head and everybody's trying to get the 7:57 warriors where in reality the rogues are the gang that uh 8:03 that killed cyrus and are responsible for it the rogues are trying to kill the warriors before the warriors can rat out 8:10 the rogues remember because intrigue because did the 8:16 warriors know directly before the end of the movie like other people did the the the warriors know that the rogues were 8:22 the ones who killed sorry i don't think they did if i remember i think they did see them 8:28 kill yeah because they were right next to the rogues that's why the rogues blamed the warriors is because the warriors saw them do it 8:34 if i remember yeah but they never mentioned that they never mentioned that the rogues are the ones who did it until 8:40 the end of the movie where the rogues show up and they're like they're like why'd you do it man and and i thought it was context that 8:47 yeah no it was not mentioned before then i don't think but uh i i love the greatest excuse ever i actually do like 8:52 this because it's like people just do dumb [ __ ] sometimes he's like we just we just felt like it like it 8:58 wasn't politically motivated it wasn't because they disagreed with cyrus they were like we just like doing stuff like 9:04 that yeah he's he's the i like to do bad things kid yeah great yeah he's he's the 9:09 kid that likes to burn stuff and you're like burning stuff he was like because it's fun you're like okay cool 9:15 yeah that dude was ridiculous that actor was ridiculous he was having so much fun in that role and i think it's part of 9:22 the reason why this movie is a classic but with this i mean this is such a irresponsible film to try to remake 9:29 because of the number of people that are in this it's such an ensemble piece yeah i hated that i hated that so much uh so 9:36 much i had to take a totally different approach to my normal style of casting which then also changed kind of my ideas 9:43 on what to do with this film so i have two [ __ ] weird choices here uh for my 9:48 re remaking or reima definitely a reimagining of the warriors here did you 9:53 kind of stick to i don't know like nice costumes and and grit or what 10:00 is it a 70s period piece or did you modernize this uh so 10:05 my film is modernized it still moves in the same way like 10:11 if the script were beat for beat it would basically be the same movie but it's modern and the context of everything is 10:17 completely different okay uh my context is definitely different as well uh i think 10:24 the the like gangs thing is i don't know how that really translates to 2022 10:30 really had to try problems with the the whole conception as well like um the big thing for me was and i don't know even 10:37 what it's like in the modern time but there was a switchover from and this was before the warriors 10:43 before the warriors period of time there's a switch over from street gangs being uh just a group that 10:49 either protected their turf or their neighborhood and then might have done like stick ups and like petty larceny or 10:56 whatever to being the protection arm of the drug trade is what street gangs 11:01 became became more organized and more like more martial basically 11:09 they're not the same thing like the fact that there's only one or maybe two guns in the whole movie 11:15 just super odd to me and the fact that these gangs aren't 11:21 organized around anything like gangs are organized around yeah turf or territory or whatever but it's around acquisition 11:28 in the modern time it's about protecting the money coming in from the drug trade so yeah it felt like nonsense to me it 11:34 felt like it was probably people remembering the new york of a different time 11:40 like in new york city in the city proper i'm sure that there were like housing developments and projects and stuff 11:45 where people of various races were kind of crowded together poor people but i feel like a lot of the white folks moved 11:52 out of those areas way before the warriors period of time sure so you 11:58 have gangs that are very racially centralized um like i was 12:03 talking to my girlfriend she's from new york about what street gangs look like in her era and she's like no it was as far as is 12:10 white people coming together to do a thing gang wise it was mostly like we hate 12:17 the other people that live in the other areas that's what their gangs came around yeah came together around so 12:23 yeah the white gangs were the ones that had like surprisingly short haircuts 12:28 yeah they're like like italians or skinheads yeah yeah pretty much uh yeah that was kind of a challenge to 12:34 figure out how to do that i think i found my lead in is that they don't i guess gangs but not like street gangs i 12:41 is that the difference there that i did is um i'm sure yes there are still uh gangs 12:47 there are groups of people that commit crime uh but it's not the same as it was like 12:52 this movie portrays like it was in the 70s or the 80s it's it's a survival tactic and also like not 12:59 something that i really want to sensationalize in that way and well you know the book was written in the mid 60s and it's probably based off 13:06 of a conception of gangs from like the fifth from the fonzier because you know fonzie was basically in a street gang a 13:13 so it is it's based on a conception that is rooted in even an even older 13:18 conception of what street gangs and gang crime is sure when you're looking 13:24 at post-world war ii there were a lot of uh soldiers that came back from the war that felt kind of directionless and 13:30 also had that taste of like normal life just didn't really fit into their experience anymore and so that's when 13:36 the birth of like biker culture bikers yeah and you're seeing a lot of people like um 13:42 picking up all the what they have and going on the road and joining other bikers and getting by 13:48 through yeah drug trade was a big part of it um arms dealing was a big part of it 13:54 and uh that fed into gangs in general to have some sort of like affiliation 14:00 uh but yeah that that was by the 70s and 80s that level of like having a brand 14:07 uh got to at best having like a common color that was like to represent who you 14:13 affiliate with but besides that it was not some you know stenciling logos on backs of jackets and [ __ ] like that was 14:19 not unless you were a hell's angel but by then it was like an incorporated brand 14:24 sure the hell's angels by the 70s the hells angels were literally but literally did security for 14:30 a rolling stones concert so that's uh it's different animal uh not 14:36 to say that they there weren't still and still are some things probably going on in that 14:42 realm that are uh not not exactly above board but oh they controlled the meth trade back then um but yeah they i mean 14:49 the the guys in the gang got older it became no longer just a street gang you got to make practical decisions for your 14:55 thug family yeah exactly practical decisions for my thug family yes um 15:01 so for mine i i'm just gonna dive into mine because uh it shouldn't take too long there's a lot 15:07 a lot of names to list but uh i decided instead of casting in the way that i normally do where it's the main 15:13 characters going through and just hitting seven of the you know most important 15:19 characters it was the different groups that were kind of important in this like swan is important he's the leader of the 15:24 warriors and all that but like he's he's not that important you know like the the the gang is the important 15:31 part their their affiliation together how they fight together and so i thought yeah how can i incorporate 15:37 groups of people that i we know that are familiar with one another in a way that 15:42 they're the different gangs and then i started thinking about anchorman uh and the famous uh anchorman fight 15:49 between all the different news channels and i'm like there's something there brilliant there's something there 15:54 uh and so i decided that the the bringing in swinging will smith too yeah exactly right 16:00 he's mysteriously absent from this adaptation um so my idea is that we said it in modern 16:06 day new york where the splinter factions that we deal with aren't street gangs at this point but political affiliations 16:13 and more so than any other uh overarching politic 16:19 group is like democrats and then left-leaning tend to have very specific 16:24 things that they're fighting for whether it be legalization of marijuana or or are gay rights or uh the green new deal 16:32 and all of these are very important but they're so fractured from one another that there's not a lot of chance for 16:37 them to get along and actually like join together and do something um there's a lot of a lot of infighting that's 16:43 happening so i'm taking the inspiration from the original warriors and applying it to a fractured um and broken 16:50 political system and uh infighting that happens uh within a singular party and 16:56 uh so these are all different groups that um are supporting 17:03 different like lobbies that are fighting in new york city there's a big protest happening uh to fight against like an 17:10 oncoming war that should be happening you know that we're about to go into and whether or not to go into war and whether or not uh to 17:18 take money out of certain budgets and lobbyists are going crazy and it's kind of like seattle uh back when the 17:25 wto was doing stuff and there was like oh yeah the other the no go zone or whatever yeah so it's got that kind of 17:32 energy going on for it and it's just these like politicos it's lobbyists it's uh it's politically motivated people 17:38 reporters that are all kind of part of these different groups and so the warriors are actually just like the 17:44 seasoned um like activists and uh and lobbyists that are like 17:50 trying to do like the green new deal they're trying to like protect the environment they've been through it 17:55 they've they've been ridden hard and put away wet they're uh but they're still like in the game 18:01 they're they're not burned out yet they're still believing what they believe in the gramercy riffs are like the old head near retirement they're 18:08 trying to get the new big hitters in town to like rally together to try to actually stand up together and get stuff 18:14 done uh the rogues are just the like i would say wall street bro type uh 18:21 lobby contingency uh-huh that yeah just very kind of woeful wall street uh you 18:28 just like really uh alpha male energy you know toxic male kind of vibe to them 18:34 then there's the turnbull acs which the only thing that they had going for them in the original 18:40 i think it was the bus right yeah they were like bald the slow moving bus the slowing boss of bald dudes i think was 18:46 the only thing um so sure we'll just make them we'll make 18:51 them all balding but prematurely balding not like shaved head balding but like 18:56 horseshoe balding yeah like me yeah yeah and then we've got the 19:02 orphans um which are just like a kind of a gaggle of the leftovers that get thrown 19:07 together of just all the the forgotten ones and then the baseball furies these are the the big badasses the billy 19:14 badasses of uh the groups that are coming after the the warriors uh they're 19:20 uh big tobacco they're big firearms they're the big heavy duty lobbies that 19:27 are coming after them then we've got the lizzie's and that is [ __ ] hats that is women's rights uh 19:35 body autonomy like stuff that you know what's that like uh second wave feminism 19:40 i think so yeah yeah something that's what's funny is a lot of the stuff is stuff i actually like do care about and 19:46 do believe in but tone is to be this like absurdist lens on 19:53 extreme micro advocacy where it's this one one issue and that's the only 19:59 issue that i'm going to focus on and no other issue and then everything else becomes almost a a challenge to you your 20:05 voice being heard um is kind of the point of this film so just to go through so it's a political 20:10 film it's making some political points about like sometimes you've got to be able to compromise with people to get anything done 20:16 and sometimes it's with people that you actually agree with you just have to like give just enough and but it's also going to be very funny 20:23 uh for the warriors i am getting the a few of the regular hitters from the 20:29 jud apatow crew to show up for this uh we've got seth rogen jonah hill jay barachel 20:36 martin starr jason siegel and christopher mintz ploss as the warriors 20:41 yeah that's that sounds about right yeah yeah i could see that 20:47 and they're they're they're like the the new hot kids in town uh they still they haven't burned out quite yet but they're 20:53 seasoned enough that people know not to mess with them you know they got that green new deal energy you know um 20:58 [Laughter] and then the gramercy riffs the old heads the ones that you know 21:04 can tell them young whipper snappers a thing or two uh about what it's like in the in the uh trenches we've got 21:10 the adam mckay crowd uh we've got will ferrell paul rudd steve carell tim meadows vince vaughn 21:18 and john c riley i'm loving it so these are you know comedic actors that i've 21:23 loved for decades that are you know in their 50s or 60s and 21:28 have served their time for sure but still keep coming out and just killing it killing the game so i feel like this 21:34 movie got made a decade ago and i missed it i just missed it uh then we've got the the rogues and 21:41 that's the uh wall street energy douchebro kind of vibe and i thought it 21:48 would be really fun to see what broken lizard could do with that so we've got uh jay chandisekar kevin heffernan paul 21:55 stoder steve lemmy eric still uh stalansky and and then threw in brian 22:01 cox for good measure uh since he was in in super troopers just to be the like douchebag 22:08 slick back hair like lobby for wall street kind of deal with the jp morgan and uh lobbyist 22:15 people in the uh in the movie gordon gekko american psycho energy yeah 22:20 and just let him just let him go big let him just do [ __ ] all of that and i 22:25 think it would be they would have so much fun with it and i'm here for it 22:30 uh then we've got the turnbill acs these are the balding ones and uh they're gonna be awkward and weird um and 22:39 not in a lot of the movies so i wanted a contingency that can do a lot with a little uh so i decided to do mike judges 22:46 uh regular hitters from some of his movies so we've got ron livingston 22:51 jason bateman tj miller thomas middle ditch kumail nanjiani and jimmy yo yang as the 22:59 uh as the turnbull ac's that's awesome i think your movie just got cancelled just 23:04 got cancelled because of tj miller 23:10 damn dude well trust me like this is a budget they wouldn't be able to afford anyway with all these 23:16 are you kidding me um you can shoot the movie then you have to go back and replace uh tj miller with 23:22 tig notaro after the movie's already shot you have the green screen take notaro in 23:27 i would make the accidental choice of just replacing uh tj miller with all the footage they took out of aquaman two of 23:33 amber heard and then they have to replace that 23:39 she's a monster uh then she should she should have been on the uh on the the rogues team i think 23:45 uh with all the wall street dudes if if uh we're talking monsters here but uh oh yeah yeah so that's the 23:52 turbulencies the orphans i wanted the weird ones that they're they're funny they're uh they're 23:58 respected but they're definitely not playing in the same spaces of comedy as 24:04 the uh as the other people like apatow and mckay they can kind of like intermingle broken lizard can jump into 24:09 some stuff but uh wes anderson's tribe is doing a totally different type of comedy uh than 24:15 the rest of them it's like affluent quiet white humor and uh 24:21 so for for that of course wes sanderson's regular hitters jason schwartzman bill murray luke and owen 24:26 wilson angelica houston and willem dafoe as the orphans uh gang 24:32 [Laughter] the geriatric or the geriatric performance 24:39 we're looking for mummies and daddy i just want to see like bill murray sitting there just like eating a bag of 24:44 popcorn and then jason schwartzman just like we just need to be taken seriously and it was like you're not you're not 24:51 i'm sorry [Laughter] uh then the baseball fury's this was very fun to cast 24:58 because there are a few comedic actors that uh are also like built like a brick 25:05 [ __ ] house um or actors that can do comedy really well that are very 25:10 very muscular and so i just like it was just all carrot top infinite carrot top just one carrot top 25:16 actually i did add him to this so good good on you 25:21 [Laughter] it's carrot top terry crews uh chris hemsworth 25:28 dave bautista john cena and the rock yeah how perfect can you get i mean and 25:34 i think i even listed them from like small to big [Laughter] 25:40 yeah i think it would be just really funny that they've got that like badass energy where they're just 25:45 they're coming after them with baseball bats and they've got their faces half painted and they're coming after the uh the warriors uh during this whole like 25:53 standoff thing that's happening yeah it's just the the biggest action stars that and carrot top that you could 25:59 hope for [Laughter] and then finally that's too scary for this fun movie yeah no [ __ ] right could 26:05 you imagine being like the [ __ ] mike judge crew and then and then 26:11 the the baseball furies show up uh like all like 18 feet tall like brick [ __ ] 26:17 house having jason bateman trying to talk him down right and and ended up ending up looking like 26:24 the dave chappelle attacker oh [ __ ] like he comes off as condescending even when he doesn't 26:30 intend to be so yeah yeah that's not well that's his bag that's his uh his acting bag that's nice niche you're 26:37 you're uh your group's bard uh that's not who you send out to negotiate 26:42 uh finally we got the lizzie's and so i just i picked some like amazing uh comedic actresses to be in the lizzie's 26:49 gang uh so of course tina fey and amy pola are in there that seemed like a no-brainer we also got kristen wiig 26:56 rashida jones leslie jones and christian stahl and nice i think for even as smaller role as the 27:03 lizzie's role is that powder keg of funny would probably be the scene stealer in a [ __ ] half 27:09 against all these other ones that are like trying to individually smirk at the screen those ladies would just [ __ ] blow it 27:15 out of the park i think um yeah at this because this is really interesting are you imagining this as a 27:21 series of comedic encounters with each one individually or does the overarching 27:27 plot have them all come together and be like um part of the whole story 27:32 um i was thinking that the barest of chances of this being made uh having 27:37 individual encounters is a better choice because there's a lot of favors that can be called in for this kind of movie that people would be like okay so it's only 27:43 like four days of shooting yeah i can i can block off four days to come in there and just do like you know a 10-minute 27:50 scene and then call it a day uh and you've got enough people that i mean imagine two hours of this i mean if this 27:57 was all on the screen at the same time for even a ten minute portion of this movie it's 28:02 too much it's too many [ __ ] people it's it's the most expensive movie ever made with 28:07 no cgi exactly so individual individual experiences a 28:12 little bit of overlap just like in the original movie that i think it's what the orphans and the lizzies i think 28:18 are around each other at the same time there's some back and forth of course the gramercy riffs and the rogues and the warriors 28:24 are all there at the same time so there's some of that but um also you're seeing like broken lizard 28:30 the adam mckay crowd and the judd apatow crowd all on the screen at the same time just doing their thing would be [ __ ] 28:36 amazing oh definitely it would be interesting to kind of play up what was so 28:43 funny about the anchorman fight scene who uh adam mckay is the 28:48 director that seemed like a no-brainer it's political it's funny um he did anchorman as well 28:54 and you play up the political angle you play up the the silliness that was in the anchorman fight scene but then with 29:01 these little individual dips in between the fights where you have these actors being able to just have their like spotlight moment 29:08 where they just do like a riff they do a thing they have like a smaller not group ensemble moment and just let them cut 29:14 [ __ ] fly and i think you're gonna get some magic out of it um you're gonna have some actors for sure that are like worth way 29:21 more than they're getting on screen where they're on there and they have like one line and that's it and the joke 29:26 is that they're there and they have one line yeah so but but with uh with an adam mckay movie where 29:34 i think he does a lot of even though it's scripted letting people just do their thing 29:40 and so people are that are very experienced as actors tend to bring out their natural charm 29:47 if they know they make them under their money off of doing their natural charm thing so yeah i think that would work out and i 29:53 was extraordinarily well you're getting these improvisational actors they're all good at improving on set 29:59 and you get them to face each other in like a standoff fight uh so they're gonna be doing that same 30:06 thing with their wit as well and just bringing like just trying to outdo each other with the most ridiculous [ __ ] you 30:11 can think of um so i i could see this being just like almost too funny 30:18 with the just like there wouldn't be the breaks that you need in between laughter because everybody's just like going full 30:23 speed ahead with this so i don't know too many big guns trying to out shoot each other exactly yeah so 30:28 i kind of want to see what that looks like and it might be a train wreck but [ __ ] it will be a fun train wreck 30:34 yeah so so it's it's basically the warriors plot but instead of like gangs fighting over who killed the uh 30:43 the cyrus it was bringing all the gangs together it was a you know a politician that was shot and it being blamed on 30:50 the warriors contingency of like green new deal people and uh them trying to get away while 30:57 other people are trying to use them getting caught as like an angle for their own advocacy that they're doing so 31:03 they're everybody's trying to and of course instead of the radio dj person it's a it's a [ __ ] like 31:08 alex jones live streamer type that's out there just trying to like chase him down on live tv 31:14 so and you can even have yeah as jk simmons uh and he could do basically the same thing he's doing in 31:20 the spider-man universe right now uh that's who came to mind immediately yeah well you know that's how they did 31:26 politics in the gangs of new york era anyway so they're and even after that 31:32 there's a president for that kind of thing politics through the the bat 31:37 through this the stickball bat and there's still some countries that do that so 31:42 oh yeah yeah sometimes ours yeah uh well i mean the way things are going but that's a that's 31:48 a different podcast [Laughter] uh so yeah that's my my [ __ ] 31:55 train wreck of a uh comedy take on the warriors what do you got for yours all 32:00 right so like i said i i really had some trouble uh latching onto this and it was 32:05 the whole gang thing just didn't work for me so i uh 32:10 i kind of called an audible and uh you know if you've never listened to our podcast before we do 32:17 some mashups as part of the uh the format so i just i just decided to start with the mashup okay 32:23 basically my movie is a sequel to the purge movies 32:29 it's okay the purge the warriors and 32:34 so you'll see some characters from some of the other one characters just particular but you'll see some characters from some of 32:40 the other purge movies come in and basically in in response to the purge day um and 32:48 the new founding fathers initiative to you know purge sin through excess 32:54 groups have sprung up in various communities that their whole thing is they train all year to protect their 33:00 community like gangs like gangs of old they're they they just gather together to 33:06 protect their community they're marshall they're well trained uh they're ready to to kill on purge night 33:12 because you can but in defense they're not going out and killing random people sure they're killing in defense of their 33:18 community and as this movement has grown to have like a community defense force basically 33:24 the community defense force is loosely organized in a specific area they have a community 33:30 meeting of the community defense forces under those circumstances 33:36 the leader of the community defense force in that area which is loosely around new york 33:41 gets murdered uh the leader gets murdered off-screen because the leader is uh the leader of what was 33:48 functionally that in the actual purge movies and that actor is dead um 33:53 it was michael kenneth williams was uh carmelo johns and in the purge anarchy 33:59 he was like the the quiet viral leader of an anti-purge movement okay yeah so uh he was the he's 34:08 the head of this this organizing principle he's murdered they think it's the warriors who were 34:14 just another community defense force it wasn't the warriors it was a plant 34:20 gang so somebody who else somebody else who looks like a community defense force but is not 34:27 they are placed there by the money and influence of the founding fathers to 34:32 shake up and destroy the organization of these uh community defenders i 34:38 i don't know that seems a little more complicated than i don't know we just like doing stuff like that [Laughter] 34:46 so they uh they spend the night trying to both fend off purgers 34:53 both individual and organized and other community defense forces that are coming after them for killing uh 35:00 carmelo johns um so as 35:05 uh my warriors as the leader of the g-riffs or that they're just called the geores 35:10 or not the gramercy riffs uh is um a character who was in was it called 35:16 the first purge he rose over the course of movie from being a gang leader to being like a 35:22 leader leader oh right okay putting him in a position that he was probably 35:27 doing something like this after that movie uh is ilan noel dimitri 35:33 uh i forget what his character's name is but he will be the leader of the gramercy riffs so everybody 35:38 you know the scenes that cut back to him as they're trying to find the warriors to the e through the evening that'll be 35:44 him nice and then for my warriors this is what made this project 35:50 difficult i already was having trouble latching on to it and then finding these appropriately young actors for like a 35:57 gang style thing uh it it hurt it broke me 36:03 but uh going through the characters uh first cast i cast rembrandt uh rembrandt is significant to me in the 36:12 original warriors movies because the actor that played rembrandt is one of the two actors that i actually 36:18 recognized from that movie uh and he played one of the members of the bloodhound gang on three two one 36:24 contact really like yeah he was one of the members of the bloodhound king so pbs guy 36:30 uh very gay unfortunately died of aids in like 86. 36:35 oh so he was taken way too soon but uh as rembrandt 36:41 we have jaden smith so he's the tagger guy jaden smith as vermin 36:48 who was a significant character he didn't do a specific thing he was just around for the the full movie uh we have 36:55 from cobra kai uh he plays robbie is tanner buchanan okay yeah 37:01 uh as ajax who is the rapist dude who got off really easy in the warriors 37:07 like when the police came and got him i was like wow you got off really easy because you could have easily been murdered by anybody in this 37:13 entire movie including your own guys and nobody would have batted an eyelash um 37:19 and actually james remar i believe is the actor who played him and that's the only other actor i recognized 37:25 in the warriors um he's played a bunch of stuff he was like raiden to 37:30 and um mortal kombat annihilation oh wow i think i blocked all of that movie out of 37:36 my brain at this point he was the uh he was the alfred like character in uh the black lightning on 37:42 the black lightning tv show he's been in a bunch of stuff throughout his career but uh as ajax i have cameron monahan 37:51 now you probably don't know that name because i only recognized him from one thing but he was 37:57 basically the joker on gotham he played a character called jeremiah and then later on he played jeremiah's twin 38:03 brother after jeremiah was murdered and they're both basically proto-jokers yep 38:08 so he's ajax as swann i have uh somebody a little bit more famous 38:14 one direction's harry styles is swan wow and you may know him as 38:22 uh star fox from the eternals if you were able to sit all the way through that boring ass movie uh he was in 38:28 dunkirk and i'm sure he's been in some other stuff but those are his big appearances uh dunkirk and and the eternals two 38:35 slow-ass movies although i will say though dunkirk was slow still very i like dunkirk a lot i liked it a little 38:41 bit it's beautiful it's very slow-paced but it's technically style over substance like like 38:47 uh what's his face um his clockwork movies that is like the uh the apotheosis of 38:55 of the the clockwork nature of the movies that he makes and i i love it i 39:00 think dunkirk is awesome um for cochise which was the black guy who got more 39:08 screen time than the other black guys uh we have [Laughter] 39:13 none of them had like a super significant role but cochise is the black guy who got the most screen time of out of all the black guys that's 39:19 what's funny is like this is like gangs in the like late 70s early 80s in new york city 39:25 and like cyrus is a black dude that's like bringing all the gangs together with like can you dig it and they're 39:30 like sure yeah no i can like four other black dudes 39:36 well the the the leader of the uh the initial leader of the warriors was black but they take him off they like just 39:41 take him out they take him out and he's taken out off screen yeah like you're like this guy's significant 39:47 give him at least a warrior's death or something no they just they just take him out and he's just gone from the 39:52 movie he demanded too much services so they just kicked him off the movie [Laughter] 39:59 you had two hot dogs you're only supposed to have one and a fruit cup he's like i want two fruit cups 40:05 you're out we got swan to do it you were supposed to leave pineapple for everybody else you took too much pineapple but as my 40:12 cochise uh ashton sanders uh ashton sanders played the middle age version of 40:20 uh sharon from moonlight so you have the the little kid version the high school version the adult 40:27 version he was the high school version okay okay i mean he's like 28 or something now but 40:32 at the time you know he was he was very young um as mercy and in my movie mercy is 40:38 actually a member of the warriors she's not like a prostitute that they kind of bring in or is fawning after one of 40:45 their warriors as mercy i have yara shahidi who is uh yeah 40:50 she's from blackish and uh what's her show grown-ish grown-ish yeah i think i've cast her in 40:56 a couple things great actress um yeah especially very pretty and uh yeah she's a good actress the 41:01 only other person i cast is the villain the main villain which is luther 41:07 and that is uh montana jordan and he's the older brother on young sheldon 41:13 i've not watched a single moment of young sheldon so i have no frame of reference 41:18 i've seen a little bit but uh at that point i was flat you know how hard it is to like just recognize actors as they're 41:25 growing like unless you watch tv because that's where these people start i don't watch any tv then you don't 41:32 get to see these actors grow to the point where they get to take on movie roles and uh so 41:38 finding actors under 30 i was going to say like under 25 but now it's like fighting actors under 30 is hard as [ __ ] 41:46 yeah well especially uh the actors that under 30 that are you know worth their their salt uh you 41:53 don't want to keep reusing them and stuff you need a bigger cycle of and just younger 41:58 actors there's the ones that everybody pins their stuff to and then there's all the other actors that are in like one thing and you don't know the face and 42:05 it's it it takes time for somebody to uh to find their project that boom blows 42:11 them out across the landscape but basically uh in my movie 42:17 in my story the warriors do survive the night at the end of the movie uh 42:23 as the the purge end of the purge clackson is ringing 42:28 they find and kill not just the warriors but all of the community organizations find and kill the 42:35 infiltrators knowing that they were actually the ones who uh killed the cyrus character 42:41 carmelo johns nice the purge is over the traitors have been dealt with 42:47 happy ending no because the new founding fathers uh drone strike the area that all of the 42:54 community uh leaders are in and kill them because the purge must continue and they're the 42:59 people in power so sure that that's the end of the movie damn you nuked him 43:05 yeah did you just pull the end of the return of the living dead movie or just just nuke him that's fine 43:11 so i've got this thing where it and it's it's not healthy but i feel like just uh 43:18 a sad ending or an unhappy ending is more satisfying because it feels more genuine i get that so you notice with a 43:25 lot of my movies they they all end like oh we're gonna have a great time everything's oh no 43:31 oh no now that's that's bad everything's bad it's like there are as it should be there are two different types of people 43:36 and there's a different ending to the movie brazil for each one of them 43:43 the happy ending and the definitely not happy ending so yeah awesome i dig that i disappointed myself 43:50 on the fact that i didn't think of the purge at all when coming up with concepts for this because that's such a 43:56 that's such a obvious uh turn you know that you can yeah it's 44:02 it's a good modern fit in my mind but like i said i was just i was having trouble wrapping my mind around this 44:07 this ancient concept of what street gangs are and it just made it hard to 44:13 it made it hard to do this for me i'm like if we make a warriors movie about street gangs i don't know what street 44:18 gangs look like in 2022 like they sell drugs and make money but i 44:24 don't even know what the culture looks like that surrounds that because i don't listen to the kids music you know i've 44:30 seen some of their rappers they don't look tough but i'm sure that anybody can be tough with a gun and yeah so i don't 44:35 know we are not of the age to be able to write like really affecting uh stories about like gang violence in america in 44:42 2022. like we're yeah we yeah we don't have that uh we could maybe make a movie about gang violence in the 90s as it 44:50 translates to 2022 and then it'd be all wrong and people would come and see it and be like what are you talking about 44:55 old man it would be funny basically like they did with the warriors yeah how out of touch it is would be pretty [ __ ] 45:00 funny um okay so we've got our real takes out of uh out of the way here i think both are 45:07 really interesting um plays on the warriors and also further proof of like this was a hard one to adapt 45:14 it is really it's a very period specific movie and so yeah try to put that in a modern light either that or you're doing 45:21 it as a period piece that takes place in like late 70s early 80s and in which case what are you doing to uh 45:27 improve the story like what are what are you doing if you're making it a period piece is there something else that wasn't said this is a pretty simple film 45:34 it wasn't trying to say a lot it was uh yeah if you make it a period movie it's the warriors 45:40 exactly so i don't want to say it's a perfect movie but it does what it does very effectively yeah and i don't think it 45:46 needs to be remade to be the same kind of movie it would need to say something else so 45:52 my remix definitely says something else and that's the next part that we're going into is our remix remix 46:00 wiki wiki i need to wear jackets so i can just do the zipper thing for the remix 46:06 we'll remember that for next time yeah i'm sure that will only be a help uh or some corduroy so you can wipe your 46:11 sleeves together and you know i used to do that when i wore corduroy back in my youth 46:17 it's a shameful it's an example of my oldness because i had corduroy as well okay cool 46:24 i think it's it's a place in time so my remix uh we are going to the land 46:29 of fantasy a little bit and i wanted to imagine what happens when you take the premise of the 46:36 warriors and you don't do a whole lot of difference to it but you make it in a more uh post-apocalyptic dystopian 46:43 environment and let's say if you were to uh look at 46:48 as a blueprint on how to do this movie uh beyond thunderdome that there's just these little burrows 46:55 in new york that are controlled by powerful uh divas that are 47:00 maintaining different boroughs of new york and they're fighting amongst one another until one diva stands up above 47:05 all of them and says we can work together and we'll have more power until somebody kills that diva and then it's 47:13 such a tragedy that uh the basically the whole world turns on that gang uh to try 47:18 to get them because the diva is dead and so you need a diva that that's a believable response that 47:26 if that happened to them the world would burn um it would just burn down 47:31 and uh so oh they killed beyonce that's yeah uh grammar series 47:36 uh osiris in this version of of this uh film is uh beyonce because i mean really 47:44 i was thinking of doing like a classic diva like a diana ross or a madonna or something but i wanted it to stay 47:50 relatively modern um with the characters and who's a bigger 47:57 diva like queen than beyonce and like no one other oh your breadcrumb controlled my mind and made me choose the right 48:03 answer um yeah beyonce like other divas bow to 48:09 her so um it's made sense that and also beyonce though very talented not a 48:14 terrible actress but also not the most historically uh involved in film she did an austin 48:21 powers movie and i think that was about it yeah beyonce was never uh a good actress 48:28 she's i don't think she had the potential to be a good actress yeah that's that was just i think we talked about this before but that's just not 48:33 her particular bag yeah so giving her a smaller role that's still very important 48:39 it made sense to me but uh the gangs i just took kind of like the 48:44 leaders of the gangs are they uh are the pop divas and then you fill them in with their dancers 48:49 as uh as the rest of the gang uh so this is gonna be a musical oh yeah 100 it's gonna be 48:55 musical um and so for the warriors i wanted yeah a 49:03 modern but relative still relatively seasoned uh pop singer that can you know maybe take the helm of like leader of 49:10 pop um as so many are wanted to do so gaga is uh the warriors i knew it 49:18 yeah a surprisingly good actress uh so she can deal with the amount of screen time that swan has uh for the warriors 49:26 he is a good actress yep and of course gaga is going to be part of this conversation when you're talking pop divas 49:32 for the rogues for the uh for the the gang that pinned the murder of beyonce on poor lady gaga 49:40 uh that was all billy eilish's fault feeling the new kid on the block that just likes 49:46 to cause trouble um we've got bailey because she likes doing stuff like that 49:52 yeah and then she's actually not bad when she was on snl she was actually pretty decent i was surprised no i 49:57 honestly like everything i've seen from her i think she gets picked on just because she's not really problematic like she's 50:04 she makes music with her brother and like is pretty chill 50:10 probably smokes a vape pen plays video games you know uh so for the turnbull acs that's the the 50:16 the bus band of of of narrative wells um i not for any particular reason aside from 50:23 that she had to be in this film and uh there wasn't anything about her specifically that fit any particular 50:30 uh grouping but i think she would have a lot of fun just doing a song behind a bus chasing down uh lady gaga would be 50:37 very funny um lizzo is the leader you know what's funny like i'm saying these 50:42 in my head as you're going through the situations and i picked that one too that is 50:48 see what that means is this is meant to be made this uh this pop diva post-apocalyptic warriors 50:55 remake needs to be made then we've got the the orphans uh you want somebody that's a little bit tragic 51:02 that is gonna feel like you know leaning against a window while it's raining kind of vibe to it uh as as the 51:09 orphans so of course i had to go with adele for that one oh yeah yeah oh yeah yeah 51:14 yeah yeah and then uh to counter that the baseball furies you you got aggro you got some [ __ ] 51:21 edge um a force to be reckoned with so rihanna 51:27 is uh the leader of the baseball furies oh she does have the energy she does she had well when you sing songs about whips 51:33 and chains exciting you uh you should probably have a little bit of that aggro edge and then uh the lizzie's 51:40 girl power uh in the warriors and uh in a movie that is all about girl power you 51:45 need somebody that is ultimate like [ __ ] like girl pop diva power so i'm uh i'm 51:50 bringing her back from a lot of challenges she's run into in the last few years britney spears is 51:56 leading the list oh and i own her a bone i well and i thought about turnbull acs but 52:02 considering they were all bald in the original movie i didn't want to make that the joke 52:08 if the leader of the bald group would be just a little too insensitive so 52:14 uh the lizzie's made made plenty of sense too so yeah britney spears uh welcome you are clearly if you're 52:20 talking about iconic pop divas britney spears is absolutely part of the conversation try to remember uh britney 52:25 spears has actually acted in stuff i think i think she was on a few things in her era 52:30 she was in a movie called crossroads where she 52:36 did a karaoke cover of i love rock and roll in the movie and when she was asked if she 52:42 had a choice in what song to sing in the karaoke scene um 52:48 she said yes um and i picked i love rock and roll because i love pat benatar 52:53 and that broke my heart as a joan jet fan so she was a young person she didn't know yeah she she was 53:00 like probably like 17 when that movie came out so can't hold too much of a grudge but yeah 53:06 so that's that's my pop diva post-apocalyptic musical and i actually found an actor that has worked with most 53:13 of these uh women on music videos and is also a very comp accomplished uh 53:18 director that has dealt with a lot of dystopian and post-apocalyptic properties so talk about a perfect 53:24 [ __ ] match um the director of hunger games catching fire i am legend 53:29 constantine mockingjay also directed videos for amongst a plenty of others 53:34 but shakira janet jackson jennifer lopez pink alanis morissette britney spears 53:40 avril lavigne gwen stefani and plenty of others is uh francis lawrence is the 53:45 director oh my so it was kind of like the perfect combination of things you've got dystopian you've got 53:51 post-apocalyptic you've got girl power girl powers yeah 53:56 it's it's kind of a no-brainer uh slam dunk there and francis lawrence and company if you think that this is 54:03 something that is worth going for um i can't write any music that's not my that's not my angle but if you can just 54:09 throw story by on there and throw me a few bucks i'll uh i'll happily give you the right you know that movie 54:15 would make so much money it would make so much money so much money it would 54:21 make incredible amounts of money it would be like the pop diva movie of all time it would be incredible 54:28 and the and the costuming i mean there'd be wardrobe people from every corner of 54:33 the earth trying to work on this set for all the the tina turner beyond thunderdome post-apocalyptic pop diva 54:41 energy would be oh my god incredible yeah i mean even if if each artist only 54:46 used their own like uh cadre of stylists there'd still be like a hundred thousand 54:52 people employed by this this movie yep that costume changes oh my god 54:57 ridiculous breakaway skirts like there'd be all sorts of crazy amazing [ __ ] that would be going on with this so um a 55:04 spectacle a spectacled scene that would be the weirdest choice this like 200 55:09 million dollar movie with the biggest pop divas of all time uh based on a 55:14 little indie uh cult classic film from the late 70s early 80s yeah 55:21 yeah you get some k-pop stars in there you have like a movie that'd be bigger than avatar 55:26 right oh no [ __ ] you get the and fair enough i'm not ever gonna [ __ ] with the k-pop stands yeah cool but you put your 55:35 put your folks in there that's great um or you just have a remake of this 55:40 movie uh with just the k-pop bands and there you go cool everybody's happy 55:46 yeah my my girlfriend would make me definitely make me see that movie with herself 55:52 so for your remix what are we looking at are you is there's a pop diva centric like mine or 55:57 oh it's so close it's so close but it's so not at all not even a little bit um 56:02 so for my remake i wanted to once again around the concept of where 56:09 people gathered to form uh coalitions of common interest 56:14 my movie is it's about gamers okay 56:19 and a third of the movie takes place in the real world 56:24 and and two-thirds of the movie takes place in the game um 56:29 the in the game portion will be strictly like um pixar level cgi 56:36 uh the in the world of portion will be really intentionally static and plain 56:42 the actors who live in the end of the world in the world portion 56:47 don't do anything like i want the the in-game portion to be big and bombastic with orchestral 56:54 music and special effects everything and then periodically the movie cuts to the 57:00 person at their computer kind of just sitting there like a lump like a computer zombie like pressing the 57:06 keyboard and grunting or whatever nice so it's kind of an irreverent gamer 57:14 comedy like in the vein of free guy but it's it's more crass it's meaner 57:20 in how it makes fun of the people in the real world but i want i want the the game portion to be like 57:27 ridiculous in how serious it takes itself it i want it to take itself so seriously that that's 57:33 funny that it's taking itself like it thinks it's so important i want that to be 57:39 the funny part of the game portion so uh it's a 57:46 it's like a world of warcraft style game um so high fantasy setting 57:52 people have their plans in this case the warriors the ones we follow are people from all over the world and 57:58 they're all kinds of people they're kids and old people and shut-ins even 58:03 business dudes and there is uh kind of a massively 58:08 multiplayer uh dungeon um challenge aesthetic where these teams can fight each other in game 58:16 uh what was that old whatever the less offensive version of smear the queer i don't know if you 58:21 remember that oh yeah that wasn't uh a great title of a japanese game but i'm sure that there's 58:27 a new title for what that is i don't know what it is like the fumble on fred or something i don't know yeah 58:34 so the uh the the the games uh server managers have made the warriors the ones 58:40 they they're the ones that everybody else is coming after uh in the process of this uh this 58:45 campaign for this evening so it's tense it's the warriors this clan of nine 58:51 versus the entire game world uh your clan has to be at a certain level 58:56 to be in that position because you have to be powerful enough to make it a fun game for everybody but just through the process of 59:02 attrition they die out throughout the evening you see very melodramatic moments of losing 59:09 characters that are like uh sad and in game the characters like crying and being like you will be avenged and then 59:16 you just cut to the dude in his room just click click click click click uh just like a little little drool like 59:23 off the corner of his mouth eating chips code red mountain dew yeah yeah 59:28 um so for my directors and there's only one reason i chose these 59:34 guys it was because of one episode of their tv show but it's trey parker and matt stone oh wow okay yeah 59:41 they did a world of warcraft episode of south park that might be one of the best episodes of that kind of tv ever made it 59:48 is hilarious it was so spot on in the moment of its time which 59:54 cartoons never do they're always like years behind um yeah i love that episode and it's very 1:00:00 funny i don't know if south park is still funny but at that time it was still very funny so 1:00:05 uh trey parker and matt stoner the directors i'm actually not using 1:00:11 any big name actors in this all the actors are voice actors like you could have big 1:00:19 name actors as the people that don't do anything sure i hadn't really considered it but the the funny part there would be that 1:00:25 they're there but they don't do anything that's not really yeah 1:00:30 but in the game world i'm i'm using actual voice actors because that's something that that people complain about all the time hiring big stars from 1:00:38 the age of aladdin from uh robin williams blowing that up and them not 1:00:43 doing you know robin williams is the exception but them not generally doing as well as an actual voice actor what yeah fair 1:00:51 so uh in game as swan i have troy baker huge antique voice actor and these 1:00:57 people voice acting is a profession where you voice act in tv and in games 1:01:02 some people are known more for their game voice acting some people are known more for their 1:01:08 their animation voice acting but troy baker is uh he's joel from the last of us but 1:01:14 he's kind of a young guy so he's also like a bunch of other stuff as a young guy's got like a lot of range nice um as 1:01:21 ajax i have nolan north nolan north was drake from the uncharted games but also 1:01:27 has a lot of rain so if you ever played the uh the the arkham city or arkham asylum games 1:01:33 he was the penguin he was cockney penguin oh wow okay yeah just a lot of range 1:01:38 uh as mercy we have tara strong tara strong is the 1:01:44 probably the biggest of the lady voice actors um 1:01:49 she's done so many roles i think the one that comes to mind immediately is that she is so uh tara strong is a 1:01:57 famous voice actor she's probably the most famous voice actress she was on powerpuff girls i believe she was raven 1:02:04 on teen titans go any number of things so she's my mercy but yeah just a bunch 1:02:10 of voice actors um providing actual voices as luther we have patrick seats who is like an anime 1:02:18 villain guy his his career is voicing anime villains nice uh and as cyrus i want to get this in 1:02:25 specifically we have kevin michael richardson and kevin michael richardson is like the default black guy on like um uh 1:02:35 lots of stuff anytime you hear a deep voiced black guy in kids animation it's kevin michael richardson he's uh steve's 1:02:42 high school principal on american dad okay that's kevin michael richardson nice 1:02:49 so my concept is is around those two it's around the cgi game world which is most 1:02:56 the movie the people at home just just being video games zombies 1:03:02 the night ends climactic battle celebration most of the warriors have 1:03:08 survived the night there's tears and drinking and much praise is given 1:03:14 and then we just have a montage of people signing out of their computers and just kind of sitting there with 1:03:20 their mountain dew and cheetos and uh and the movie just ends with these 1:03:26 people like looking at this blank computer screen damn so yeah you do like a uh 1:03:32 a sad ending for sure nice but i like that point that's coming 1:03:39 across is that yeah like all this jubilation all this excitement this you know amazing thing that occurred but in 1:03:44 the end of the day that's just a video game it's not giving your life any of that you know besides that very 1:03:50 temporary feeling of success and community and community and community 1:03:56 sure all right so we've got one last little bit to do before we get out of here and 1:04:01 that's our uh trailers i think uh mashing up the warriors will be very much fun to do 1:04:08 on on a mini episode moving forward in the future there's already like three or four ideas that are circling around in my 1:04:15 brain that are oh definitely pretty easy to combine so that'll be a lot of fun 1:04:20 but for our trailers i'm definitely doing the adam mckay one because the francis 1:04:26 lawrence one would require me to sing in a lady songs and that is not my strong not that i 1:04:32 wouldn't i absolutely would there's no fear about me singing lady parts and songs it's that i don't want to 1:04:39 like not have any audience left after this episode so i'm going to adam mckay it 1:04:45 up um are you doing your which one are you doing man um 1:04:51 i don't know i think it might be easier to find music for the purged one so i think i'll do the purge one okay cool 1:04:57 let me get that cued up [Music] 1:05:08 from the director that brought you don't look up the other guys vice 1:05:13 and anchorman comes a story of the fight that it takes to find 1:05:19 togetherness join director adam mckay as he weaves a tapestry of political intrigue and 1:05:26 infighting as one politician that can change everything 1:05:32 falls from grace with a bullet and the warriors are blamed for it 1:05:39 warriors played by seth rogen jonah hill chief aeroshell martin starr tracy siegel christopher vince floss and i'm 1:05:45 not naming all the people in this movie they are played by the robes played by 1:05:52 broken lizard and everyone involved with broken lizard uh they have to make their way to coney 1:05:58 island where their offices are are held before the streaming universe uh finds a way at 1:06:06 an angle to make them look even worse this is over political intrigue and 1:06:13 the comedy elite joined forces in adam mckay's warriors 1:06:19 take my money great i'm gonna slick back my hair for that screening 1:06:25 or a pinstripe shirt with a white collar and yeah the whole nine yard do the whole nine yards the combo that i never 1:06:32 understood at all is though the blue shirt with the white collar and uh and 1:06:38 the cuffs as well are white yeah weird that's a weird look i don't know why that's a thing that people do but 1:06:45 okay um i i guess so yeah universal sign that you know i have 1:06:50 money and probably that i'm old yeah definitely if you rock that look there's no youths out there wearing the 1:06:57 blue shirt with a white collar all right so you are doing you're doing 1:07:03 the purge one right i am doing the purge one i don't if i didn't mention it in the show because i 1:07:08 don't remember if i did my director is james demonico who directed the purge 1:07:14 trilogy and almost nothing else so yeah nice putting that out there excellent 1:07:19 cool well i am ready when you are let's do it cool here we go 1:07:29 america is the body the new founding fathers are the infection 1:07:34 and the cure is the warriors in the fight against the purge the 1:07:40 warriors and other community groups have come together to protect americans from 1:07:46 the purgers and the philosophies of the new founding fathers but in a terrible turn of events 1:07:53 the organizer of the community protection groups has been murdered and it's up to the warriors to defend 1:07:59 their name from the accusation of crime director james demonicos 1:08:07 the purge the warriors as jaden smith has rembrandt because he 1:08:14 can't fight tanner buchanan cameron monahan 1:08:21 harry star fox styles ashton sanders and yara shahidi 1:08:26 set out to defend their name from the violence of the purge and the violence 1:08:32 of their brothers in arms will they survive the knights in james demonic goes the purge 1:08:39 the warriors coming with some of them yay 1:08:45 that is a kind of a no-brainer combo i love that that's great ooh i struggled with that one 1:08:50 yeah this is definitely this was a uh knock down drag out uh battle for a remake and reimagining on this episode 1:08:57 but i think considering the circumstances we pretty did a pretty decent job i mean this is one of those 1:09:03 like almost unadaptable like or unmodernizable movies uh without it coming off as like 1:09:09 either completely tone deaf or uh or yeah old dudes writing stuff that 1:09:14 they don't have any understanding of so well yeah fully agreed no i came into this thinking i got nothing and i'm 1:09:20 actually very satisfied with the uh the outcome that's kind of the fun on these episodes 1:09:25 when it's like [ __ ] i don't know let's throw it up stuff on the wall see what sticks and uh we we saw some 1:09:32 warriors stick on this episode so
