Pluto Nash (2001)

Ever wondered what would happen if Eddie Murphy had skipped "The Adventures of Pluto Nash"? We've got you covered! Join us as we put Eddie Murphy's filmography under the microscope, starting with the laughably ambitious flop "The Adventures of Pluto Nash." We crack jokes about Murphy's multiple roles and take a playful jab at Alec Baldwin's stealthy cameo. Fuel our fun debate on an alternative universe where names like Brendan Fraser, Bruce Willis, or even the late Chris Farley might have stepped into the spotlight – would it have been a game-changer for this sci-fi comedy?

Grab your popcorn because our "Movies and Characters Chat" is nothing short of a rollercoaster. We dissect a film that could have doubled as a marathon – one long, breathless chase scene – and chew over the missed comedic opportunities. Did Rosario Dawson's casting play a part, or did the studio's scissors snip away the laughs? Oh, and if you're a fan of Luis Guzman, we're rallying behind his comedic chops, imagining him as Gomez Addams in "Wednesday," and comparing him to the legendary Raul Julia. We cap off this lively discussion by embracing the unfiltered joy of Eddie Murphy's performance in "Pluto Nash" – no holds barred.

Closing out Andrew and I serve up a no-holds-barred review of a film that recently let us down, big time. Picture this: a cinema experience so underwhelming, we'd sooner discuss moon-based gyms and hypothetical wild animal encounters in space. We confess to seeking refuge in fantasy football trades and the Mariners game, anything to escape the yawn-inducing flick we endured. Before signing off, remember to hit up our social media – we deliver episodes with a punch that's sure to keep you coming back for more.

Discussion on Eddie Murphy's Film Career

Speaker 1 0:00

I just saw that going up and down.

Speaker 2 0:01

Yeah, just like Pluto Nash.

Speaker 1 0:12

And welcome back to the Backseat Critics. My name's RJ.

Speaker 2 0:14

My name's Andrew. This week, we're talking about Pluto Nash Starring Eddie Murphy.

Speaker 1 0:19

And Randy Quaid.

Speaker 2 0:21

And Rosario Dawson.

Speaker 1 0:23

And also Eddie Murphy.

Speaker 2 0:25

Jay Moore.

Speaker 1 0:26

And Eddie Murphy and rosario dawson and also eddie murphy, jay moore and um eddie murphy louis guzman that's a good one. But I think there's, oh, eddie murphy, peter boyle, oh, that's a good one. Oh, what about eddie murphy in this one?

Speaker 2 0:40

oh, oh, oh folks, we got John Cleese we do have John Cleese.

Speaker 1 0:47

That's right, we did have John Cleese, but we did have Eddie Murphy. And Burt Young yeah that's true, but there was Eddie Murphy. Pam Greer oh my Eddie Eddie Murphy, eddie Murphy.

Speaker 2 1:08

Eddie Murphy's the one.

Speaker 1 1:15

We also have what's that? One actor's name that was in this. Was it Eddie Murphy? No, it was Randy Quaid. Get it together, my guy. Jeez, what's weird. Isdie murphy's, the big actor in this movie, cut it out.

Speaker 2 1:32

I am looking at the cast and you know who? I don't see who.

Speaker 1 1:36

Baldwin ah, he was in it for just a split sec he's not credited here at, at least on Google.

Speaker 2 1:43

Smartly, let me check the Wisely All-knowing database of IMDB. Yeah, imdb.

Speaker 1 1:52

Well, while Andrew's checking out IMDB, I'd like to start out with the summary of this movie. Basically, we have Eddie Murphy who walks in just straight off the streets from jail into a little casino area actually a little bar area where this dude is playing the bagpipes and singing. He's about to get drowned in gasoline and killed, or coolant and killed battery acid actually.

Speaker 2 2:18

Glug, glug, glug.

Speaker 1 2:18

Instead, eddie Murphy says oh nope, let me take over the bar and you save my friend. At the end of the day, he becomes a hit nightclub owner. And then some guy wants to be like Eddie Murphy and take over the world by being Eddie Murphy's character, pluto Nash. And there's other things that happen.

Speaker 2 2:37

But yeah, that's basically it.

Speaker 1 2:38

That's basically the nutshell. Yeah, After that it's just a big chase scene.

Speaker 2 2:42

It's a really long chase scene with eddie murphy, rosario dawson and randy quaid so I did find alec baldwin on the all-knowing imdb, your db, but he's but, but, but, but but he's listed as uncredited're db I am db.

Speaker 1 3:05

You are to be all right, so any murphy in this movie bad if you could swap him for any other comedic actor any other comedian.

Speaker 2 3:17

There's no saving this no there is, but if we're to, if we're to take to take Pluto Nash from what it is and make it something marginally better. What actor are you bringing to this? I got mine locked and loaded. Brendan Fraser, ooh.

Speaker 1 3:36

Why Back during that time period he's kind of big. Yeah, he's coming fresh off Dudley Do-Right, perfect time period for him, almost Okay. I feel like he'd just kind of be a big actor to throw in there that people would probably go see because he just I don't feel like this is like a straight adventure movie, like what he's typically done no, but that chase scene I mean it'd be perfectly fine I mean he also had the looney tunes movie just right after this.

Speaker 1 4:01

I forgot about that flopped. Same thing, though, but you just add in the Looney Tunes it was a big chase scene.

Speaker 2 4:07

That's true.

Speaker 1 4:08

So why not add in Brendan Fraser? That's probably not the best pick, but that was just off the cuff. Boom. Eddie Murphy. Okay, Alright, what you got. Andrew Faced Jim Carrey. Didn't you go with Jim carrey in?

Speaker 2 4:27

the plan? Are you saying I can't do jim carrey again?

Speaker 1 4:30

I guess you can do jim carrey again if you want, to all right yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay, yeah, okay, okay.

Speaker 2 4:36

You know what?

Speaker 1 4:37

sylvester saloon. Um, okay, I will not do jim carrey, we'll back off that Bruce Willis.

Speaker 2 4:45

Okay, I will not do Jim Carrey, we'll back off that.

Speaker 1 4:48

Okay, no more Jim Carrey. That's the rewind.

Speaker 2 4:52

Yeah, you know what?

Speaker 1 4:57

Let's just get stupid, let's get. I'm pretty sure we're already there.

Speaker 2 5:04

Chris Farley.

Speaker 1 5:07

Okay, That'd be kind of like the that'd give me some Beverly Hills ninja vibe of Chris Farley mixed with some almost heroes.

Speaker 2 5:16

I haven't seen that.

Speaker 1 5:18

Well, that's a good one.

Speaker 2 5:19

Classic. Um, it'd be kind of cool. Let's go full. Stupid. This movie's already stupid. Let's go full. Stupid. This movie's already stupid. Let's go full stupid.

Speaker 1 5:27

It needs something to entertain. I feel like eddie murphy was just pumping up too many video movies at this time period I think this is around the time that you really saw eddie murphy. Just kind of stop caring I mean he did the nutty professor he's putting out dr doolittle.

Speaker 2 5:42

He put, I mean as far as like acting yeah I would say so probably I mean, you can maybe argue. I would say maybe the first dr doolittle, maybe, even though it's like kind of a trashy movie.

Speaker 1 5:54

I mean, even then I remember that was such a hyped movie.

Speaker 2 5:58

But you look at his role in like beverly hills cop. Beverly hills cop 2. Beverly Hills Cop. Beverly Hills Cop 2.

Speaker 1 6:03

Coming to America. Coming to America, trading places.

Speaker 2 6:07

Uh-huh, like he is chewing up the scenery. He's flexing his comedic biceps here. Oh, he looks bored he looks bored.

Speaker 1 6:19

This is his entry into kind of not this movie per se but his other movies the Doctor Doolittle, the Nutty Professors. I think that was his entry kind of into not this movie per se but his other movies the Doctor Dolittle, the Nutty Professors. I think that was his entry kind of into the kids movie Like the family friendly.

Speaker 2 6:31

Yeah.

Speaker 1 6:31

Besides, I think it was Norbert, wasn't he in that, norbert? Yeah, he was.

Speaker 2 6:35

Yeah, he was.

Speaker 1 6:37

I think he was the main character in that, but I think he kind of tried to crawl back out, which didn't flop. I think this was kind of this flopping period for the most part, and I think these types of movies were. The reason why people saw them was because Eddie Murphy's name was on it and you're like, okay, let's see what Eddie Murphy's got.

Speaker 2 6:52

We hoped for so long it would be something good, but it just never was Exactly.

Speaker 1 6:57

We're still hoping. I mean, look at what he's still putting out.

Speaker 2 7:00

I would still I yeah he's been pretty much back in that hole yep which is kind of a shame.

Speaker 1 7:14

He's a good actor he's more of a, he just needs to. He can't be the lead anymore. I feel like at this point I feel like he's gotta be like a shop owner in a movie or a cop or you know, just like a hit of something or teacher. I think he'd be a fantastic like teacher.

Speaker 2 7:29

Yeah, or you need to do a kind of buddy cop situation and put him with another actor that he vibes really well with. Yeah, I mean, I think trading places kind of showed us a little bit of that I guess.

Speaker 1 7:42

I guess we'll figure out in beverly hills cop the new one coming oh, there's a new one. Yeah, there's gonna be beverly hills cop 4 coming out soon. Oh, we got to go through the first three. Um, I know the second coming to america was a flopper I have not seen that it was terrible.

Speaker 2 7:59

I was so excited and I saw it was a flop and I'm like, ah, maybe I'll just pass that that's wise, wisely.

Speaker 1 8:04

So I was like you know. I actually kind of enjoyed the whole nightlife I had going at his own club in the very beginning.

Speaker 1 8:27

Okay I actually enjoyed the opening. Never mind, I'm gonna go to the opening where he's at this bar in space mish, they're about to do a porcelain battery at that hole, just like how that all plays out. I'm just like, okay, you, you caught me, you got a good hook right here for a second. You got me for the next five minutes. So I just kind of enjoy how that kind of plays out and he's like a well-known. It's like who is pluto nash then?

Speaker 2 8:56

exactly that kept bugging me about the movie is like he used to be a smuggler. I guess is is the gimmick, um. But he's a well-known smuggler. Everyone knows this guy. He's like pluto nash yeah, I'll murder for you, I'll do anything. I'll give you my car. Do you want my wife? I'll give you my wife. Do anything for Pluto Nash. It's like they don't do anything to establish that to us.

Speaker 1 9:27

Yeah, we don't know who he is, we just know that he's well-known. And that's what hooked me in is like okay, oh see that bugged me. No, I like that in the for a beginning of a movie, but I want some answers and this movie came with no answers.

Speaker 2 9:42

Yeah, and that's what I don't like it's like you see han solo we know what he's known for yeah, because he's seen the other six billion star wars out there, right yeah? But also, like just in the first one, it's like okay, yeah, he's got some podunk, you know freighter ship, but he did the castle run.

Speaker 1 10:03

That was his big claim to fame yeah, and it's like okay, he hits it off right away, though in star wars I believe he talks about the castle run. But I'm okay with the movie. If you don't drop it out like that right off the bat, I'm okay with that too.

Speaker 2 10:14

If you don't drop it off like that right off the bat, I'm okay with that too, but give us something Like anything at all. But instead all they'd say is like oh, he's famous, trust us, he's famous.

Speaker 1 10:22

That's what it gets. I like it, though I like that a little bit, but I mean, give us some answers. Give us some answers as to what for.

Speaker 2 10:39

Give us some answers why these people are chasing after it and want to kill pluto nash? Besides the property right, I think that is what and the whole cloning situation.

Speaker 1 10:45

Yeah, why do you want to be pluto and why? Why are you hiding away? Exactly. So I just to me the intro, the intro of the movie, though I should clarify.

Speaker 2 10:50

Why is the clone hiding away exactly? Aka eddie murphy yeah, uh, favorite scene for me is actually going to be with alec baldwin uncredited, when he played the gangster in the only scene, because I don't know of any movie where he's played a gangster and that gave me kind of like I kind of want to see how baldwin play, play gangster. I feel like he's played one in another movie. I looked it up while you were talking. I actually looked it up and you didn't see another one.

Speaker 1 11:18

I didn't see another one. Wow, I feel like he should have been another one. Right, he kind of fits like a natural like you kind of figured he would Even as like his 30 Rock character you could kind of see.

Speaker 1 11:30

You can definitely see a gangster type guy in his 30 rock yeah, that's interesting uh second, or just kind of putting this in there as a as a consolation prize for scenes, it would be probably the john cleese when john cleese gets interned into the movie john cleese is kind of the best part about this movie.

Speaker 1 11:51

He's like the car and the comedic scene between. I mean, this should be one of those games right here, but it's just in one answer, the game where you have to connect actors through movies, the fourth degree of Kevin Bacon or whatever. It is Right, but I like to play it with two different actors. So I think this one right here is a perfect, like Randy Quaid and John Cleese, like if somebody dropped that I'd be like, hmm, let me try to connect that. I would not think of this movie.

Speaker 1 12:20

No, also, I was just thinking let's swap Eddie Murphy and John Cleese If this movie came out in like 80s sure.

Speaker 2 12:38

But not for its time period, not for 2001. But if it was like 80s?

Speaker 1 12:40

sure, but not for that's time, for not for its time, not for 2001, but no, if it was like 80s, swap them, swap them, but not now. No, not or not in that time period not in that time period.

Speaker 2 12:45

This movie should not be made now, I mean I I'd be down for a remake it depends who's in. It depends what we're doing with it.

Speaker 1 13:01

I think it could be. I mean, there's potential here yeah and I honestly think that the scenery in this movie, the first time I watched it I think that's what caught me was the scenery the city was kind of cool.

Speaker 2 13:14

The city was kind of cool and city was kind of cool.

Speaker 1 13:15

Yeah, and just with the fact that it's like in space, you know, that's kind of what kind of dragged me in the very first time I saw this movie.

Movies and Characters Chat

Speaker 2 13:25

Now watching it for the second time, I had more important things to do on my fantasy football team I think you'll notice something, audience members, about our discussion of this movie, which is there's not a whole lot to talk about, it's just a big chase scene. It's just a big chase scene beginning to end. He saves his friend and then they're chased, starting two years later when he takes over his friend's nightclub, and then he sees clone himself and the clone himself dies and he, he's fine again I would say that this, this movie, is probably the jokes it has, and there's not a lot, obviously for that's.

Speaker 2 14:08

That's the thing is like, even as like comedic gags, like for like movies that just rely on just comedic gags and not like a through line kind of story, like uh, like a cone heads type thing yeah, not a lot there there's not a lot there, but I think here there's, there's not a lot there. There's no like single little gags that like stick out to me, I do.

Speaker 1 14:31

I would say, though, that these I mean obviously there is one. Well, the, the made ball, the made bot.

Speaker 2 14:38

Yeah, I stand corrected.

Speaker 1 14:39

Yeah, the made bot but I would say that these gags are definitely. It hits that pg-13 like right in that rating. They're pulling their punches. Perfect like it's. It's not not about to hit that rated r. It's not definitely geared to that pg. It's right in that middle that pg-13. It hits it right in the square.

Speaker 2 15:02

I I haven't looked up any facts on this, but this hits me as a movie that was rated r initially and then was told, hey, let's make this for families, and then they kind of doled that up, doled it up?

Speaker 1 15:18

Do you think like Rosario Dawson? Do you think she was just like, hmm, let's pull back? Obviously, I don't see Eddie Murphy or Randy Quaid giving or care about it. Like, yeah, let's bring it on.

Speaker 2 15:27

Yeah, no, I don't see John Cleese or Luis Guzman caring.

Speaker 1 15:32

I think Rosario Dawson would be the one out of the big actors in this.

Speaker 2 15:38

Even then, no offense to her. She does a great job with what she's given, but you could have replaced her with anyone else.

Speaker 1 15:49

I'm surprised they actually didn't bring her name.

Speaker 2 15:54

I don't think she would have enough pull to be like hey, let's gum this up to be a family movie, that's true. That's why I'm like maybe it's a studio decision.

Speaker 1 16:03

Must have been. That sucks. Luis Guzman, I keep on forgetting about him until you bring him up in each, like you brought him up in the character list or who was in this movie, and then you just brought him in a second ago. I always forget that.

Speaker 2 16:15

He's just in this movie. He's just in this movie.

Speaker 1 16:17

He's one of those characters and you know what? He's probably one of the better characters in this movie, actually.

Speaker 2 16:20

They needed more Luis.

Speaker 1 16:23

Yeah, they would have brought more comedy. That guy is secretly comedy gold sometimes, sometimes, yeah, sometimes it'scos a more serious role for him. I did not enjoy him as Gomez Adams. He was Gomez, he was Gomez.

Speaker 2 16:44

In what In the?

Speaker 1 16:45

Wednesday oh, and I enjoy it.

Speaker 2 16:50

That's a Okay. I thought, it was a terrible pick. I got to say, like, what is his name?

Speaker 1 16:59

the first guy that played uh his name, but I can picture him right now um. I can look him up um okay, are you talking about the very first guy?

Speaker 2 17:13

Yeah, raul Julia, raul Julia. Yeah, I know who you're talking about.

Speaker 1 17:25

It's hard to one-up that I still think Luis Guzman is not your person.

Speaker 2 17:28

No, but I'm just saying that's a tough act to follow. That's a tough act to follow.

Speaker 1 17:38

That's a tough act to follow. I think you could still base it off of it. I think you can. I think you could If you go back and look at the Addams Family TV show from way back when. You could base it off that. You could do it. I can beat Cabo. When you could base it off that you could do it, I can be Camaro Gomez. No, you can't.

Speaker 2 17:59

Yes, I can. I can be Gomez. You're saying that because your name's Roll and the original actor's name's Roll.

Speaker 1 18:05

And I can be Gomez, I'm.

Speaker 2 18:12

Gomez Say something in Spanish.

Speaker 1 18:16

Nah, I don't want to be put on the spot. I don't like to be put on the spot. I beg to differ. Really yeah, I don't want to be put on the spot.

Speaker 2 18:23

Gomez is an exhibitionist.

Speaker 1 18:27

We were trying to make it through without any cuts.

Speaker 2 18:30

That's not a cut. That's not a cut. An exhibitionist is just somebody who likes to show off for a crowd. That is it. That is it. It's somebody who loves doing theatrics in front of people. It's not necessarily something raunchy, it's Audience raunchy. Mm-hmm, it's Audience. I'm getting death glare. Yep.

Disappointing Movie Review & Ramblings

Speaker 1 18:59

Pluto Nash. Eddie Murphy, eddie Murphy, I think we were Not a cut. We were expecting more of this movie. We were expecting when we picked this movie I think you and I both remembered it in a different way and it definitely did not hit us in that way that we are hoping.

Speaker 2 19:17

I don't really remember this movie fondly. I just thought it would be like one of those like toy soldiers where it was like it's trashy, but it's like fun trash, like it's fast food, you know, like movie fast food. Here are you looking up the word exhibitionist?

Speaker 1 19:37

no, I was actually gonna say, um, mr john mac, johnny mac 14 on ig. I don't know him. I would not say follow this man, by the way, because I do not know him and I have no idea.

Speaker 2 19:50

Why did you just read off?

Speaker 1 19:52

so, because he commented it perfectly poop emoji, poop emoji, poop emoji, poop emoji. Guess what poop? Emoji yeah, he hit us with five poop emojis on the on the Pluto. Nash so I think Mr Johnny Mac might be on to something for this movie.

Speaker 2 20:12

Yeah, yeah, boy, there's really just not a whole lot to talk about, but Wow.

Speaker 1 20:30

I'm going gonna make a pause you know, I, I, uh, I.

Speaker 2 20:35

I go above and beyond with my pauses. If you had a business on the moon, what would your business be?

Speaker 1 20:48

I think, uh, actually pluto had a good business for the moon A club, absolutely Because you got to think about who's going to make it to the moon Rich Mm-hmm. So you're telling me, I can't just get a bottle of Hornitos tequila and then upsell it for $50 a shot and make a bunch of money that way.

Speaker 2 21:16

Okay, I got to disagree with you. Okay, what you got? Similar angle the rich are going to be going up there. We're talking people who have time to go to the gym to work out. I'm opening up a gym on the moon.

Speaker 1 21:32

Terrible idea. No, because hear me out.

Speaker 2 21:34

I'm hearing you. Astronauts atrophy out in space. Their muscles get smaller. They weaken because there's little resistance against them. There's no air up there. We're going to the moon. Similar thing Terrible. They're bouncing around up on on the moon. There's some oxygen in the cities, but like they're bouncing around. No, I'm gonna open up a gym. People are going to be going to that gym to keep their muscles from atrophying terrible idea, oh it's a great idea it or a gorilla.

Speaker 2 22:13

The black mamba. No, 100%, no, I've got the whole mall to myself, the whole mall to yourself, but you have a gorilla and one black mamba and one black mamba. I'm taking the black mamba.

Speaker 1 22:26

No, that thing can hide, it can get into the places that you're at and it can strike you and you're dead. If you have 24 hours.

Speaker 2 22:38

Oh, okay, so we're just making up rules as we go here.

Speaker 1 22:40

No, you have 24 hours If you make it through you have $90.

Speaker 2 22:43

Do I have to?

Speaker 1 22:44

sleep. You don't have to sleep.

Speaker 2 22:46

Okay.

Speaker 1 22:47

I'm taking the gorilla.

Speaker 2 22:49

Do I see the animal deposited into the? No, okay, so I don't know where they're at. No, in that case, I'm going gorilla if I were to see them put in. If they're being put in at the same time as me, then yeah, no, I'm taking black, I'm not even trying, that thing's gonna stink up on me.

Speaker 1 23:08

I'd rather just go hide in a mall away from the gorilla, or it can't see me.

Speaker 2 23:16

What.

Speaker 1 23:17

The gorilla.

Speaker 2 23:18

Gorillas have x-ray vision Right.

Speaker 1 23:21

Maybe in Planet of the Apes, but not here, but no. So think about that situation, but put it in the Pluto Nash world, okay. So situation, but put it in the pluto nash world, okay. So, with that being said, how scary would that be? A black mamba?

Speaker 2 23:35

just floating through space. Why is this what you're thinking about?

Speaker 1 23:37

I don't know, this is like I just do. My head is a black mamba floating through space at me, trying to grab me.

Speaker 2 23:44

Could you imagine getting hit by some? Just flying through space. I think I'd rather get hit by the black mamba.

Speaker 1 23:52

I just think the black mamba coming at me. But at least it's done and I'm like at least it's done, it's over with.

Speaker 2 24:02

I don't have to suffer with you. Know you gotta, you gotta deal with it. You gotta like, oh, what's this on my face? I?

Speaker 1 24:09

think I think the black mamba flew through the air, got to deal with it. You got like, oh, what's this on my face? I think I think the black mama flown through the air. Scary, I just, I just, you know you put you put me in the moon with a black mamba or a gorilla.

Speaker 2 24:23

I still think I choose the gorilla okay, well, just throwing it out there, but this is going to be another pause you editing this one, then nope, nope, this one's sane oh, pauses no, um. So let's say you go to the moon. Are you going to be hooking up with Rosaria Dawson?

Speaker 1 24:59

No, I'm a married man.

Speaker 2 25:07

Oh, my trap card failed.

Speaker 1 25:13

You fell into my trap card. Andrew. Welcome to Magical Cylinders. Cylinders, Isn't it what it's called? What's it called the Yu-Gi-Oh card, where you shoot at me and I shoot it right back at you? I don't know. I think it's like Magic Cylinders something like that.

Speaker 2 25:30

Oh, to shoot it right back at you I don't know.

Speaker 1 25:33

I think it's like magic cylinders something like that. Now I gotta draw two cards and I play you know what better movie andrew has?

Speaker 2 25:41

better movie yugioh absolutely.

Speaker 1 25:43

I'd rather watch the yugioh movie. Have plenty of times, I'll watch any of them almost any of there's multiple. There's multiple yug's, multiple Yu-Gi-Oh movies. I'm surprised they haven't made a live action Yu-Gi-Oh yet. Give me that over this Done. What if it sucked? Still better than this.

Speaker 2 25:59

The person who ever has Yu-Gi's hair is definitely worth watching Dragon Ball Z Live action or this.

Speaker 1 26:09

The Dragon Ball Z live action was more entertaining than this.

Speaker 2 26:12

I'm actually with you Avatar.

Speaker 1 26:16

The Last Airbender.

Speaker 2 26:17

Live action.

Speaker 1 26:22

Yep, I'd rather watch that. It's kind of sad because I actually remember enjoying watching this movie for the first time and then now looking back. It's terrible, it's terrible.

Speaker 2 26:30

It is extremely boring I'm gonna dive into my final thoughts, please do and I'm gonna say save this podcast from becoming pluto nash yeah.

Speaker 1 26:39

So we're just gonna dive right into it and I'm gonna say that this movie is a two out of ten, but it's only saving grace is, uh, probably just the scenery, a little bit like the set design. Yeah, I think they did a great job there, everything else yeah so two out of ten. Um, definitely a skip, definitely a snooze fest. Kids, would you let your kids watch this? No, no, there's too many dirty jokes in there.

Speaker 2 27:11

And that's the problem. This movie is like hey, let's what I'm saying. It feels like it's a movie that was rated R and they gummed it up to be PG, pg-13, and it still doesn't even work.

Speaker 1 27:21

If it was rated R, I think it would have been better 100%. If it went straight to the PG, better Rated R r. We're talking like total recalc style. Yeah, I think this would be a movie where I'm gonna forget about again and I'm gonna watch it with a kid, with my kid eventually, and I'm gonna be like I'm so sorry that we watched that movie. The kids gonna be dying. I'm back.

Speaker 2 27:47

Not all of us are winners my mom looks at me every day and is like man, I could have done better not all heroes wear capes um yeah, I'm not gonna give this a 2, I'm just gonna give this a 0 yeah um, I, the moon set design was like pretty good but like not. I'm just going to give this a zero. Yeah, the moon set design was pretty good, but it's not anything notable. It's just the same. Grace to me it's no Mario Bros, where it's kind of impressive.

Speaker 1 28:26

A lot better movie.

Speaker 2 28:27

Mario Bros yeah, oh yeah, give me that, oh yeah, john Mugazamo, bob Haskins, easily, yeah oh yeah, give me that.

Speaker 1 28:31

Oh yeah, john Mugazamo.

Speaker 2 28:32

Bob Haskins Easily, this was just boring trash. This was Snoozefest. Yeah, I kind of spaced out about 20 minutes in for the rest of the movie and did not miss a thing.

Speaker 1 28:45

He said fantasy football was better. Checking the Mariners game was better Texting friends was better.

Speaker 2 28:50

Checking the Mariners game was better. Texting friends was better.

Speaker 1 28:52

It was Making fantasy football trades. There's a lot of trade negotiations that happened during this. Wow yeah, it was pretty successful.

Speaker 2 28:57
