01:35:25 Share

When was the last time I took a road trip? How many national parks could I hit in two weeks? What about hotels? Wait.

How much am I spending on travel?

Hey, everybody. Just wanted to give you a quick heads up here. There's something we should all be doing. It's going to improve your life, make every day a little bit better. And that is eat more Reese's peanut butter cups. Yes. Think about it. All the gurus, all the coaches out there, they've never said the words eat more Reese's peanut butter cups.

Eat more Reese's. I mean, that combination of sweet chocolate and salty peanut butter. I mean, this is something that brings other people and ourselves joy. That's why there's two in a pack. Shop Reese's peanut butter cups now at a store near you, found wherever candy is sold, and often in my pantry because I love these.

Hey, everybody. Sweater weather is over and sweaty weather has begun. And that's why you need a pair of Bombas socks because they are a premium extra long staple cotton sock that feels light on your feet all summer long. I love my Bombas. Why?

Hello, people of Earth. This week, we are taking a break from last looks while we are on tour in the UK. And by the way, come out and see us. Come. I think we're still there. And instead, we are serving up a brand new, well, actually an old new classic HDTGM episode. That's right. The only movie in the Fast franchise we haven't yet re-released. From the vault, it is 2019's Hobbs and Shaw. I know this is a divisive movie, but it's

one of my favorites, and I love this episode featuring all-star guests. We're talking about Adam Scott and Nicole Byer. But before this episode starts, since there is no last looks today, I wanted to make sure that you could still prep for our next new movie episode. And I'm sure you guessed it by now, but next week we'll be closing out the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy with 2018's

50 Shades Free. That's right, people. We done did it. All the 50 Shades movies back to back to back. We couldn't do that to you. So we had to split it up over a couple of months. We have a great guest coming up for that. If you want to watch along with us, you can play 50 Shades of Grey on Macs or you can rent it on Apple TV, YouTube or Google Play. And as always, make sure you send us your corrections and omissions online.

for our latest episode on Ronald the Barbarian. And don't worry, we'll cover Ronald and Fifty Shades Free on our next Last Looks episode. You can still submit corrections and omissions on our Discord at discord.gg slash hdtgm or leave us a voicemail. I love a voicemail at 619-Paul-Ask. That's all I got, people. See you next time.

Sentient motorcycles, Samoan warfare, and more insults than any movie ever made. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the fast and furious We Were Promised. We saw Hobbs and Shaw, so you know what that means. Hey, everybody. Now it's time for HDTV. HDTV. HDTV.

People of Earth! Of the hometown of Mr. Luke Hobbs! We are in Los Angeles, California!

At the Largo Theater, oh my goodness. Hello family. Hello family. Let me ask you a simple question. Where are my Hobbs people at? Where are my Shaw people at? Damn straight, it's a Shaw audience. This is the Jason Statham I have been waiting for.

Holy shit. I could recap this movie or try to tell you what it's about, but simply there is not enough time. More things happen in the first four minutes of this movie than most pictures released on screen the entire summer. The first four minutes is the equivalent to what happens in both of the last Avengers movies.

We are going to break it down tonight. We have an amazing all-star panel, and I can't do it alone. So please welcome my co-host, Mr. Jason Manzoukas! What's up, everybody? Come on, LA! This movie is fucking rad. This movie is... You know how good this movie is? Sometimes they have to bisect the screen so they can show you more images.

One screen can't contain this movie. Split screen, baby! Thompson shot two whole movies split screen. Split it four ways. Let's Mike Figgis this shit. Make it the time code of action movies forever.

Jason, you and I said something that I feel like we should share off the bat. We saw it together last night. We went on a date last night. And whispered to each other the entire time, I fucking love this. This is the best. I leaned over at one point and said, I never want this to end. And that was in the first five minutes. And I still, that sentiment remains.

the movie's over three hours. I don't know. I don't care. It wasn't long enough. I would like to give this movie more of my life. Oh, my goodness. Well, we said, I think we said the thing that I think about, and I thought about it all day today. I also took notes on Alamo Drafthouse order slips. I have them as well. They're impossible to read. It is straight nonsense. Night. Why? Why?

Why? A-Team montage. Don't know. I wrote it, though. I wrote this. I wrote, funny car. Which now I think I do remember. Jason, we were saying last night, it's as if the parents left for the weekend and the kids threw the best party of all time. It's like the minute Vin Diesel was out the door, they were like, yes! Yes!

We get to play with all this shit. Oh, shit! This is crazy! It literally was like, you want cars? Yup. You want guns? Yup. How about fights? We got them. Do you want old school Samoan war weapons? I did not know that was an option, but yes. Wait, wait, wait, though. Normally we can't bust balls in these movies, but wait, can we now? No.

Oh, we're gonna buzz balls. They, I mean, this movie is like also a legit comedy. It's crazy. It's all right. But again, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to get into too much. From the comedic superstar team, just like I'm talking Abbott and Costello. I'm talking about Statham and The Rock. Lewis and Martin. I'm talking about Statham and The Rock. I'm talking about...

Oh, my God. Well, we obviously have a... This is a movie that we had to continuously stop ourselves in the green room from having the conversation we are having on stage. Because we were... Numerous times. The minute we got back there, we were like, hey, what about this? Hey, what about that? Hey, what about me, me?

I could talk about it all night. Well, we have a fast and furious expert with us tonight. He has helped us break down these movies in the past. He also joined Jason and I on our outing last night. You know him from such great shows as Parks and Rec and Big Little Lies. Please welcome Mr. Adam Scott. Oh, man.

Just to add a little bit to what you guys were saying about wanting more and wanting to give more of your life to this movie. Please. I would watch this movie. No hyperbole, no exaggeration. I would watch this movie for five years. I mean...

Five years. I'm in. If you said right now we're just going to watch the movie, instead of do the show, I'd be like, yes. Yeah, let's do that. I can't think of the last time I've gone back to the theater to see a movie. I will go back to see this movie. Oh.

100%. Or a million percent, sorry. No, no, no. That beats 100%, obviously. No, no, no. 100% is the same as a million percent. Adam, I mean, like obviously you're devoting five years to it.

Favorite part that just jumps out at you at any point? Anything you want to just talk about out of the gate? Oh, God. I mean, there's so much. You know one thing that did occur to me today that I was like, that was great, was when... Period. Just occurred to you today. That was great. There's so much. And that's right there. That's one of them. Yeah.

And a chainsaw. Yeah, but when Jason Statham's like, listen, I don't want you to touch my sister. And The Rock was like, listen, it's not 1955. If she decides she wants a piece of this, then she can climb all over this dick or whatever he says. No, he would never say dick. No, no, no. He refers to himself as a mountain that she can climb. A mountain, yes.

Like, she can free solo this shit. That's right. That's right. By the way... Which means no condom. But also... That's rock for Roddock. That's what I think everybody should be calling unprotected sex. I'm just going free solo on this one. You saw unprotected sex. I just saw trying to get your hands into the rock's bicep, like, holes. Like...

getting in there. Just like, right under his ribs, I got a piece. You could climb the rock.

No ropes. I do want to bring out our next guest before we go too deep into it, but I will say the person I felt bad for, there's an extended sequence on that airplane, which we won't break down right now, but Vanessa Kirby has to be asleep for all of it. And I was like, she must have been dazed. She had an eye mask on. I was like, I felt bad for her. She's like, hey, you don't get to have any fun in these scenes. Are you kidding? That is the greatest days of her. She got to sleep during those takes.

It's like the days on shows and stuff that I love are when it's just a full day of just having to walk and open doors or go to the refrigerator where you don't have any actual stuff to do. But I just feel like you want to get in on that action. There's a lot of good fun, a lot of good ball busting on that airplane. You don't want to sit on the sidelines when good shit's going on. I got to get in on this banter. Got to bust some balls.

Hobbs and Shaw 2, busting balls. If they don't make a fucking sequel to this movie, like, oh my God. I'm going to quit the biz. Absolutely. We, I think we. That's a legit threat.

If they do not order a sequel to this movie, I will quit the biz. And everybody quit going to movies. This movie came in number one the first two weeks it's been out so far, so that's huge. But today...

We have another guest out here, and she, I'm going to say, is a Jason Statham expert. And as we found out backstage, we'll talk about this a little bit, also an original Fast and Furious fan, like from the get-go. Like posters on her bedroom wall. Really? Oh, this is exciting. A young Vin.

She hosts a podcast called Best Friends, and she is also the star of Nailed It. Please welcome Nicole Byer! Nicole. Yes, yes, yes. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Oh, thank you. So excited to have you here, and did not know that you were a Fast and Furious fan from the get-go. My God, the first movie is just a remake of Point Break, and it's perfect. Also, Vin Diesel, I just, like, would love to take a ride on that head. You know, like...

It's just like primed and prepped for my pussy. Like I truly spent so much time just cutting out that bald head to make collages. And that is so crazy. I mean, that is peak diesel. We were talking about this a little bit backstage. Peak diesel is Fast and Furious diesel, I feel like. I just love a man who you don't understand, you know?

I mean, that is, again, just to remind everybody, that is a movie about street racers selling stolen combination TV DVD players. It might have been combination VHS TV. In this movie, there is a cyborg. Yeah.

And like they pointed out in the Alamo video, like these guys have saved the world like four times. Four times. So many times. The U.S. military depends on these guys. They need...

Our intelligence officers look like morons. Fools. All of them. The cool thing about this movie, besides the fact that it's a spinoff, is they didn't rely on any other characters. It's like, fuck all you other characters. They didn't bring in Kurt Russell. They didn't bring in anyone. They're like, no, we got it. Guys, get the fuck out of here. Cut.

cars weren't even central to the battles. It wasn't until the end of the movie that I was like, oh yeah, this is Fast and the Furious. Like they released some cars. And those weren't even cars. Those were trucks. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, they seemed like they were just saying like, fuck you. Well, that's the thing. They did. They pulled the central component out, which is street races, which is measuring your speed

Vis-a-vis cars? I mean... And they did, they took all that, they stripped all that stuff out because even like the fast movies now, you know, it literally is like, okay, we're going to drop ourselves into this place. I guess we'll drop ourselves in inside of cars? No, these guys flew commercial. They flew commercial a couple times. Also, okay.

economy. Yeah. Well, I was wondering at one point, I was like, I want to just see either of them pack because they have a lot of wardrobe changes and at a certain point... And like awesome clothes. I love that wherever they were, they found a bag of new clothing for them to wear. Mm-hmm.

They're like, okay, this is for you. Put that on. They did that three times in the movie. I mean, The Rock, when The Rock was put in his outfit where he had like a little mustache in that scene. Oh my God. That's the thing. Vin Diesel would never get into funny disguises. No. We finally get to do this. What did I say? No hijinks.

No hijinks, just Dom punch, Dom win. Family, family, Dom punch, Dom raise, Dom gas. I am Groot, I am Groot. Somebody told me that he does every one of those lines individually. Wait, what? Yeah.

Oh man, those are the longest days. Every I am Groot? Yes. And ask for a lot of like, what am I saying now? Got it. I am Groot. Wow. And now, I am Groot. And now, I am Groot.

But I did find that scene funny because Vanessa Kirby, who I love. Amazing. She was awesome. She was great. But I do have to say, they didn't give her a makeup artist. No. At one point, I was like, can someone get her chapstick? Yes. Her lips were chapped for...

the movie. Vanessa Kirby is the only one that retains bruises too. Yes. Those two guys get hit with bricks, cars, buildings, and they're like, okay, back to normal. Vanessa Kirby had a black eye for at least a week. Well, I think if we're in a Me Too movement, we gotta remember you hit a lady as bad. It's a subtle reminder that let's not keep hitting these ladies with cars. Yeah.

Meanwhile, Idris Elba, Black Superman, can punch and kick The Rock and Statham over and over and over again. They are no muss, no fuss. They look dynamite. They are literally being thrown across rooms. When we meet Idris Elba, he punches through a truck.

Um, but yet she's able to escape him. Anyway, no big deal. Oh my God. But when they're giving out disguises, you know, Jason Statham's on his little workshop where he references being in the Italian job, which I love, that there's a shared universe here. That's, that's what that was. It's very silly. I mean, what a crazy, weird thing to even do. It was weird, yeah. Oh, and by the way, did you also notice that, um,

this is a real deep nerd shit, but Idris Elba has a Weiland tattoo, which is a company from Alien, and he works for that company in Alien, so there's also an Alien Fast and Furious crossover, too. Are they going to bring cars to space? I hope.

We're going to space. We should probably bring this Mustang. I only wish that Statham was at the end of this movie revealed to not be Deckard Shaw, but in fact was Chev Chelios from Crank, and that we just straight up crank the next movie. Yeah.

By the way, that would be a great version of if they're both dying and they just have to keep on electrocuting themselves. If they did do a space movie, I feel like a majority of scenes would be ripping off their space suits. They'd be like, fuck it, I can breathe out here.

Your lack of oxygen is nothing for me. I bunch 500 pounds. But so, Deckard Shaw is making all their fake passports. Vanessa Kirby looks completely different. The Rock, completely different. Wait, The Rock doesn't look completely different at all. He's got a mustache. He has a pencil-thin mustache? The dudes look exactly the same. Vanessa Kirby legit looks like a completely different person. She's doing the job right. Jason Statham is wearing a hat.

And glasses. Orange sunglasses. And glasses. And The Rock is wearing a beret and a pencil-thin mustache because he's supposed to be French. These are the only two. By the way, nobody's looking for Vanessa Kirby. Her picture's not on the news. Their picture is on...

over the news. By the way, that sequence, they're in, we find out also one of the side talents of Idris Elba is controlling the media, which is a wild. It's real wild. I'm in. It makes no sense. Also, after Idris Elba announces that they're bad, they have the most public conversations. Like, they're talking in that restaurant, and then they're just talking real loudly on that plane. And that lady in the babushka, who's she? Maybe she

person was like, gotcha, who knows? By the way, why didn't Kevin Hart recognize them as being grade A bad guys?

By the way, Kevin Hart is in this movie. So is Ryan Reynolds. And it's not just like one scene. They're both like in the movie. Yes. But I think they had a... I mean, they probably worked for a day or two. I think they had a clause that was like two locations max. Yeah, yeah, totally. Because both of them were only in two locations. Well, Ryan Reynolds specifically, it shows that he worked one day. They must have done reshoots because he's like doing a big thing at the end. He's like, I'm still in that coffee shop I met you in earlier. Yeah.

Why? Why would you be in the closed coffee shop? Definitely those two guys had reshoot scenes that were just to keep them more in the movie because somebody was like, this is funny, it's working. The test audience loves when they're on screen. Is there any way we can get them to do a little bit more? Well, we can try. And then it's literally like, I'm in a bathroom communicating with you. It answers the question that you always ask, like,

Come on, how did they even get to Samoa? We'll answer it. Kevin Hart getting on the toilet. Let's go. And you know what? Didn't mind it at all. Will say, my breath was taken away when Kevin Hart popped out. Same, I guess. I went... It shocked me. I was so loud during my screening. I don't know if people were happy. I just love to giggle.

You know, I recently read about a break-in in our neighborhood and my initial instinct was to get worried, but then I remembered I have SimpliSafe, which means I don't have to worry about

Ryan Reynolds in the movie is interesting because it seems like he's having fun that he's in a Fast and Furious movie. But the

Were they partners? I think he thinks he's in a Deadpool movie. He's playing a character who seems to be very aware he's in a movie. He all but looks into camera and is like, can you believe I'm in this one too?

But they were, they were like in the special forces together. Yes. And he just thought they were best friends and The Rock. And they got the same tattoo. Same tattoo. Well, that, what it seemed to me was that the game they were trying to play was Ryan Reynolds is obsessed with The Rock. Right. And he's obsessed with The Rock.

It has the necklace, got the same tattoo, but that they don't, but that The Rock was never, like, interested in being friends. I don't think they were friends and are now not. I think Ryan Reynolds is just straight obsessed with him.

But they also work together still because it seemed like him handing him the mission, there was some routine to that. It seemed like he was his handler or something. Yeah, yeah. But yet he's not working like he retired in the last movie. That's right. Yeah, they're like, here's your badge and gun back. He's like, nope, I'm going to be with my kid from now on. But yet he still has a handler. Can I just say, when he was going through his kids' grades, they were just looking at loose leaf.

I was like, you just tore that from a legal pad. Like, that's not a report card. I was so, hello, like it's hard. When the daughter hands him the biology report that is my family tree, and it is just his name and then question mark. I was like, this is everything.

This is everything. And here's the thing. This is a movie that, like, makes you genuinely be like, oh, The Rock, he's such a good dad. And then, like, eight minutes later, he is jumping out of a skyscraper. Running down the side like Spider-Man. No, not even falling until he can grab a man.

who is tethered to the building. By the way... Then he jumps off of that man, free falls again. You are a father. And he literally got off a Skype phone call to do that. Yeah. He was Skyping. Hold on, click, let me jump out the window. Like, it wasn't like, oh, I got caught up in the moment. It was, no, I'm doing it. I like that the soldiers... His child should be taken away from him.

The soldiers that he was after, Idris Elba and those other guys, they hook a line onto their back and then just run down the face of a skyscraper. That's what they were doing, right? Yes. But they were doing it as if, oh, we're going to do that thing where we just hook on and then we run down the face of the skyscraper.

They were time travelers. They were from the future. You're right. There's a cyborg and his friends. But they're also cyborgs, right? No. They're in a cult together. They're in a cult, and then you have to win cyborg privileges? I think Idris Elba is the most cyborg. My guess is they've got a little bit of cyborg. Right.

They just can see like Google Maps in their eye and not cause of punching problems. And more often than not, it's like can't find signal and it's just guessing where you are. But also,

his little eye thing was not helpful when someone does this obviously they're gonna hit you yeah and it was like impact imminent well yeah duh it's back here we also we also established that Idris Elba at a certain point in the first scene lets someone shoot into his hand so what would any punch do to him he was a fucking yeah hit me

Hands down. Yeah. Go ahead. Okay, so when Idris Elba is defeated, I was like, why the black man? Why does he have to die? But then I was like, well, he's a cyborg. He's not black. But by the way, if we know anything from this franchise, he will be back. Oh, yeah. He's just deactivated. He's like an old iPhone. I'm not kidding. Based on how these movies work, he will be a good guy in two movies. 100%.

100%. There felt like an 85% chance that he'd be like, I'll be good now. Like, it was like, I'll break my... Oh, it's coming. He will... Again, let me remind you. Jason Statham killed Han. Yeah. He's a bad...

bad guy. I take offense to this. He killed one of the best characters in the series. Here's my issue with this. Everyone who wants justice for Han, I'm going to talk to you for a second and say this. Han was a part of an operation that attached a safe to a car and ran down the street. So many people died. Han is also a bad guy.

Han has blood on his hands. A little kid eating ice cream in wherever the fuck they were, Brazil. Brazil. Black. Dead. Because it was fucking safe. Han is no... They all got blood on their hands, people. We don't need to be singing praises for Han. You know what? Giselle's dead, too. Yeah. Justice for Giselle. Well, Giselle fell out the plane. I... Yeah, if you fall out the plane, fuck you. Oh.

I was gonna say, the one thing that was so disturbing about Idris Elba's henchmen, this is the one thing, it was one small detail, and I feel like it didn't get enough attention, but they were talking about the bodies that they found at the scene of that opening crime, and they said they were stabbed by a brick. And it was like, oh, and so they were just killed by bullets, but then Idris Elba was like, take care of them. So one of those fucking cyborgs was like, I'm gonna fucking shove a brick in your face.

That's right. We didn't see that particular murder. Yeah. Like, what is that? Like, that was their getting, casually getting rid? Stabbing someone through the brick? My assumption was that Idris Elba had done that.

No, because he got on his self-riding motorcycle and went away. That motorcycle... It's very smart. Very smart. And actually, in the movie, makes Transformers sound. Yes. The sound cue from Transformers is used in this movie. Yes, that's right. This movie's amazing. Yeah.

This movie's like, fuck you. Your thing? We do it too. Your thing's our thing. You got superheroes? Fuck you. We got them too now. What? Your thing transforms? Machines transform? Yep, we do that. What does your thing sound like? Fuck, we'll do that too. All of a sudden, they're in full pirates costume. They're just doing Pirates of the Caribbean. They're like, fuck, we're fucking pirates now. We have ships. We have a multiverse. Some of us are pirates. Fuck it. Fuck it.

All of a sudden, collecting stones, putting them in Idris Elba's spine. Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink. Let's do it. Idris Elba was awesome. He was a great bad guy. He was hilarious. So funny. I really loved when he went through that double-decker bus and then threw a fit. Yeah. He was pissed off. My reaction when I go through a double-decker bus.

Not only did he go through it, he seemingly ripped off a full side of it. But keep in mind, nobody was on it. No. He should have plowed through people, be covered in their blood, and still throw a tantrum. What a downer that would be to have a woman hanging off the side of the bus, dead, as Idris Elba's like...

But that's the world these movies live in. These movies live in a world in which the world's population is 3,200 people.

And none of our heroes interact with them at all. They also live in a world where in the middle of like, wherever they are in London, where they're seeing all the jumbotrons, they play every country's news channel simultaneously. It's as if the news in Times Square was like, oh, you want to see six different channels of news? They're all right here.

Like, yeah, why would you ever want to be in London? I wonder what Japanese, what the news of Japan's doing there. Oh, they're on there too. They all went live, no matter what. That's all different times of the day. That's London, that's New York, that's Germany. It's all like, yeah, breaking news, these guys, get them. Even though they're in London, get them. That was interesting when Idris Elba, when it's revealed that he's in control of all news and media, and immediately...

on CNN and Fox, everyone's just reading Idris Elba's news. Yeah. Like, how in the world did he do that? A text message. Oh, right. Okay, sorry. Well, here's the thing. Their comp, that, what's it called? Wayland? No. Oh. E.T.

Etion. Etion, yeah. So Etion controls the world's media, right? They've created a cyborg super soldier. And they are... Their primary concern is a virus? Yes.

Like, they, because they want to wipe people out or blah, blah, blah. They are already, have achieved multiple, like, villain goals. Right. They've already won. Because Hobbs and, because everyone else has not been able to stop them. But they seem to be operating in the background entirely. Like, they have, like, they have done, like, four things already that are worthy of, like, like, one single movie's pursuit. Yeah.

Did they make the connection from the virus to the cyborg army and eventually turning everyone into cyborgs? Yes, because they're going to kill the weak, cyborg the strong, and that's like human evolution. But I thought the virus killed everybody. Yeah. So wouldn't it just be like Idris Elba? Only the weak. No, only the weak. Right? No, I thought it would kill the weak. No, I thought it... I thought you said that literally... It melts your insides. It will liquefy everything. Because the new ones are going to melt your outsides. Because the outsides, yeah.

That feels like a joke, but yet they treat it real. That's what the hard thing about this movie is. I'm like, yeah, all right. They are doing jokes, but they're presenting them with stone faces. Maybe it's just Ryan Reynolds. I'm like, I don't know when to take him seriously or not. I mean, that's his magic. That's clearly them with him. We've got two hours with him for reshoots. Just riff, riff.

And somebody threw that line in and they were like, put it in. I was just going to say, I feel like this is them, Ryan Reynolds will now have a

another spinoff, right? Isn't that kind of what this... No, seriously, I figured that's what they were doing. Please put me in that movie. Yeah. We all need to be in the Hobbs and Shaw multiverse. There's plenty of room. Part of Ryan Reynolds' team in whatever this is. In the Fast and the Furious spinoff. What if it's Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart? Yes. It's them. Great. Great. Yes. That would be fun. Guys, don't sell yourself short. Look, I'm a bald man. To see a movie with two bald leads...

is one of the, how far we have come

It means so much to me. Up until now, that's why you haven't been in Fast and Furious, because they're like, we already have two bald guys. Yeah, three, technically. But now... Now, they need a bald guy on their team to do something. Yell at or push around. I don't do whatever. Get your clothes out of the hamper. Get your clothes out of the hamper. Your requests are to be yelled at or pushed around?

Why don't you get to be a hero? Because the two guys yell at each other and push each other. These two guys argue the entire time. Every time they take out their guns on each other for I think the first hour and 30 minutes, it's like, fuck you, fuck you, bam. The great act three twist is that they discover the concept of teamwork. LAUGHTER

It's true. These are grown men. Again, let me remind you, The Rock is a father in the movie, and they have to be taught teamwork. And it literally is like, I'll take a punch for you. It is like, I'll take a punch for you, and then you'll take a punch for me. It truly explains that Washington Post article about...

about how one dude doesn't take more punches than another dude. They were like, I take one, you take one. And then I'll take one, you take one. And I was like, what the fuck? Just hit the cyborg. It is a crazy...

It was so stupid. I was like, also, during that conversation, why didn't Idris Elba kill them? Like, Idris Elba could have murdered so many times. Oh, yes. Idris Elba has moments where I feel like he's like that apple ball that spins because it's like, why didn't you, like, again, Vanessa Kirby is a human woman at this point. She has no special skills besides being a badass. Except she can live forever. She was supposed to

after a couple hours. And then the sun rose and set and rose and-- - This movie only took place in three days, Nicole. - What? - This movie took place in less than 72 hours. - There was a lot of sunrises, come on. - I agree. - Getting to Samoa from Russia, that's 72 hours. - Oh yeah. - Like she's dead. - Agree. No, no, no. The travel time alone is 72 hours.

I mean, when they hook her up to a mobile blood laboratory, they're like... The justification was so quick. It's like, you're more effective if you're with us. Why? Stay in the fucking house. She's on the battlefield with a blood machine, like wearing it like it's a fucking... Like it's a cool backpack. I loved it. I was like, this is Elizabeth... What's her name? Elizabeth Holmes Thernos or whatever. I was like...

I love her. This is great. I mean, I watch Vanessa Kirby do anything. I did have an issue with the fact that when they capture her, put her on the plane, they're pulling down the plane, but at any given point, the helicopter could crash, and she is in it, and the one thing is keep her alive, and they bring it down in such a way, and she kind of lands outside of it. Let me be very clear. Yeah.

Every single person involved in the helicopter slash dune buggy crash at the end of this movie should be completely incinerated. Yes. Period. Helicopter crashes are famously difficult to survive.

As far as I know. And everybody survives. Everyone. Even the machine. Even the blood machine. But also, I really enjoy that scene specifically because the chain broke and then The Rock was like, I'll do it. Yeah. This man

I mean, that was... Holding that helicopter and I was like, no one said no. You can't. Look, he literally, from the last movie, he picked up a fucking missile. Torpedo. A torpedo and tossed it. Well, there was a grenade at one point that someone put the pin back in. I was like, no. You can't do that. And then Homegirl's booby traps didn't trick nobody.

She did all this wire work with a grenade and everyone just, no, everyone stepped over it. Because Jason's like, Tiffany, tap at the computer and then there's a dude behind him that didn't trip the wire. And I was like, I guess women are stupid. Here's what I'll say. If you're gonna have a booby trap, make it boobier.

Wait, Adam, you were saying that. Just to go back to the magic blood machine, it occurred to me when they were prepping for the battle in Samoa that the primary reason they, while they were in Russia, and they're like, what are we going to do? We've got this blood machine. It's broken, clearly. And he's like, I know. They go to Samoa to go to his brother's car garage. Yeah.

To fix this blood machine. Well, he's the best mechanic. He's the best mechanic. Right. But this is a piece of imaginary...

Yeah. That takes poison out of blood and places it back into a capsule. Am I right? Yes. The machine is very complex because it's a syringe that seemingly is sucking everything into a vacuum, but not all the blood, just a little vial. I'm sorry. I feel like you guys... Listen, I feel like...

I feel like you guys are poking holes in this and I need to remind you they have a 3D printer. My favorite moment. They can do anything. My favorite moment in that scene, it was supposed to be Jason Momoa as his brother, but he couldn't do it because of scheduling conflicts, which would have been amazing. Momoa and Samoa, buddy. I would have loved it. Well, I like that they gave that braided man a chance. He was great. Also, the one who played the mom, how wild. This bitch is thrilled.

And then at one point she had this real chunky monologue. I was like, that was her audition and I can't believe she was high. I loved her so much. I love when the brother, the ponytail brother, dual ponytail brother, he went Good Will Hunting at a certain moment. He's like, yeah, all right, here it is. Wow, what do you get? That's like, oh my God.

When they go to Eddie Marzan's house, who's like the scientist who invented the blood machine and the virus or whatever, and he's written science all over every surface of the room. Yeah. And you're like...

fuck is this? Yeah. I mean, Eddie Marr's not super smart because when he gets beat up, like, one side of his glasses is, like, cracked and he never fixes it. No. He's like, later, just pop that one out. It didn't work. Like, he's keeping... Well, I mean, he's only there for, like, he's probably alive for 36 hours of the movie. Yeah, he dies, right? He dies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When he comes out with the flamethrower... Who would have thought that a flamethrower played a prominent role in two movies that made $100 million? Yeah.

Huge. Once upon a time in Hollywood and Hobbs and Shaw using the same weapon? I blame Elon Musk. Why? Because his company sells a flamethrower. Really? Do they really? They do. Sounds wild. I know. So he like wants to be a spade? Am I wrong? Doesn't his company have a flamethrower? Yeah, thank you. Why do you all know? That's wild. I have one at home.

This back-to-school season, spend less on your kids with Amazon. Now, here's the thing. I love back-to-school season, but I'm going to be honest, it's expensive. Every year, I'm getting a new backpack. I'm getting new scissors. I'm buying so much stuff in back-to-school season. I need a little bit of help, but back-to-school shopping doesn't have to break the bank. And here's the thing. With Amazon, you get great deals and everyday low prices on

everything that your kid needs for a successful return to the classroom. Now, I was one of those kids whose parents would go back to school shopping too late, and then I couldn't get the cool folder with ALF on it. But don't worry about that because Amazon's got a whole wide selection of back to school items. Get it now. I just bought my kids stuff on Amazon in July. And then when September comes rolling around, I am the hero. You'll find quality products at Amazon that your kids will love all while sticking to your budget. Shop.com.

Can we just talk about the opening, the introduction to these characters, the dual scenes. Oh boy, they're different.

But yet, kind of the same. Kind of the same. They got to fight. The one thing that I did like that those opening moments showed you was that it seems like Jason Statham does not train in any way. He gets up, eats a nice egg omelet, and then goes and gets a beer. But he doesn't, there's never like, there was no push-ups, no sit-ups, but he is ready to fucking kick ass at a given moment. And then,

he was holding that champagne bottle and like catching it and it seemed important and then he broke it at the end of that fight I was very confused I mean it was the best I mean I think it was one of my favorite lines he goes I'm a champagne problem and I just beat the fuck out of him with the champagne bottle but why was it so important for him to catch I get the choreography it's kind of not going to get to use it again but then he just broke it at the end well the fight was over then he didn't need it as a weapon anymore drink it

Drink it. I see. I see what's going on. Nicole had a problem with the waist. You are upsetting. The waist. I love booze. Now, you're much more of a Hobbs girl where he's double shotting tequila. I love booze.

Oh, when Hobbs double-shotted the tequila. I thought that was interesting. Why was that happening? But also that they didn't just use a different take because he did it and tequila just ran down his chin. It wasn't a cool thing. It sounds cool. It's like, and you come in and you want to do a shot. You do two shots. I'll do it at the same time. Great. Did it work? Yeah.

And then his notes, he's like, remember when I did that double shot of tequila? I noticed that wasn't in there. Can we throw that in? They're like, sure. Yeah, we'll throw that back in there.

So Dwayne really wants the double shot back in. But it dribbles down his face and it looks weird. I know, but he asked for it to be put back in. Oh, who gives a shit? Put it in. Also, do you think The Rock was like, bring me your tightest denim jackets? He wore at least three very tight denim jackets. One of them is his favorite. His favorite jacket. Which is wild. That can't be it.

This is a movie of great jackets. As a fan of jackets, I was a fan of this movie. Here's the thing. We all know that we love the show Suits. We love Suits. What if I could tell you there was a new spin-off of this movie called Jackets?

Don't they call out Jason Statham at one point? Oh, in Samoa for wearing a jacket and it's like 100 degrees. It's 110 degrees. Why are you wearing a jacket? He goes, throw another jacket on. The insults between them were so fucking fun. They were fun. The best. It seemed like they were, and they didn't run out. It wasn't like, at the end of this movie, well, they're not friends because if you stayed for the second post-credits scene, like, The Rock,

calls the cops on him for what? On Statham. On Statham, yeah. The Rock calls on Statham under the name Huge Anus or Hugh Anus. Hugh Anus. Hugh Janus. Wait, do you really not get this? No, I got it. I got it. Hugh is like a weird, obscure name so it'd be funny to call him Hugh. It's a weird name, right?

No. Yeah! A British weird name. What was the first one they used with the passport? My dick? No, Mike... Mike Hockus. Mike Oxmall. Mike Oxmall. Mike Oxmall. Also, I've never been to the airport. Never? No. How do you get around? Sometimes I blink in the pier places.

monitor that says accepted or denied. Like, what the fuck? And it seems so based on nothing. Nothing! Well, in the movie, I think the logic of the movie sets up that for some reason Statham has made, has put Mike Ox

Oxmall on a list of some sort to get rid of him so that he and Vanessa Kirby can go and because he basically says she's like why did you do that and he was like he would only be dragging us down I gotta get rid of him blah blah blah

That's why I think that's... But it also posits a world in which they get to the airport early enough that The Rock can solve that problem and still board the flight before the door is closed. Again, 72 hours. Gotta get there two hours early, international. And how does he solve that problem? He says people like him. That's how he gets out of the TSA. And he doesn't have the mustache anymore. He doesn't have the pencil... He doesn't have the mustache. Oh, yeah, he doesn't. When it comes back, not only doesn't he...

Does he not have the mustache? He doesn't explain it. It's as if, it's as if the police stop him, bring him back into a room and he's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't you guys understand? It's me, The Rock. I'm shooting a movie. I'm shooting a sequel, a spinoff of the Fast and Furious. We're doing the Hobbs and Shaw from the Fast and Furious. Oh, of course. Go, go, go. Please get on the plane.

But following the logic of the movie, he gets caught. They bring him into a room to interrogate him. He's one of the two most wanted men in the world. And because he's charming, he talks his way out of there. That is a scathing indictment on airline security. Yeah.

Also, what did Jason Statham do to their faces on the passport? Like technology to do nothing? Because again, Jason Statham has no disguise on besides the hat and orange glasses. Which they would tell him probably take the orange glasses off. That fucks up our cameras. But yeah, that was a little, I mean, that was the teeniest, tiniest logic hole, really. Yeah, just very, very small. And the only one.

When they went to Russia and there was all those pretty women killing people with a bunch of clothing. I'm sorry, you mean the lingerie assassins? She's literally wearing a bra. Was she wearing a bra? She's wearing a bustier and she French kisses Statham for so long. So long. Also, again, her weave was fucked up. Did they have women on that set?

They're too busy oiling down the rock. That takes a long time. Also, I don't think she was Russian. No, she was fully American. She did not have any trace of a Russian. Also, whose house were they stealing? Why did Statham notice show up there? And why did they pull up in a Porsche? Like, where did they get a Porsche? Yeah, where did they get the Porsche?

They land in Russia and just deliver the Porsche. Or is it from the Jason Statham Bat Cave? Right, exactly. Oh, maybe. Yes, it was. I just think it's from the Rock is a Hertz Club member and he's a gold member who's been going for a long time. He's like, give me the Porsche, please. Not the Corolla, the Porsche. But what I love is they show up mid-March.

mid-hijack. Like, she's like, well, I am in the middle of, like, tying up this Russian gangster and stealing all of his money. I guess he could stop by. It'll be quick, though. Yeah. Like, because they do stop by in the middle of, like... And she magically has clothes for them. Yes. More clothes for them than she is herself wearing. And...

And they have changed since their flight. They get on the flight to Russia, then they show up at the house in different clothes, and then she has yet different clothes for them again. But she also says, I have clothes for you, right? Yes, like she was expecting them. It's so wild that there was clothing for them, but then, what's her name? Vanessa Kirby or whatever? Her eyeliner really made me angry. It was so bad.

It was a wingtip that didn't connect and I just don't understand. There were so many cusses but she couldn't complete her eye? I would love it if literally they had no hair and makeup because if two bald dudes are like, we got it. Oh, hair? You want hair, huh? Her nail polish was also chipped. Her nail polish was fucking chipped and I don't know if it was a character choice. You guys! I just, by the way... Did she get paid? Was she just there? What?

They're like, you'll be in the movie. You look fucking fine. Like, no. All of a sudden they tell her it's like a low budget indie. They're like, we all do our own makeup. So just come camera ready. Can you come camera ready? You're blowing up like a whole town. Yeah, just come camera ready. We spent it all on transporting the rocks gym. I realized what I could play in the movie. I could play their cue, but I'm just their dresser. I'm always like, oh, Hobbs and Shaw.

good thing I have this jacket. Does it do anything? No, it's just a nice jacket. You're just like, you're just the tailor measuring them. I want to be in the movie as like an unsuspecting fat lady who could do things. You know? Who's like, ah, she can't do shit. And then I'm like, ooh,

That's what I want. Jason, you mentioned earlier A-Team montage and I wrote it down as fist bump montage. Everyone just, it's just a montage of fist bumps and I loved it. Like I was like, what's up? Fist bump. Over here? Fist bump.

Let's go down. You're looking good. Fist bump. I don't remember this. This was, yeah. This is in Samoa when they're getting ready for the invasion, right? In between No Man's Land and the Kill Box. Because to me it was like the A-Team because every episode of the A-Team in like the, you know, at the end of the fourth act would have like a, well, we're here. All we have is the resources of a junkyard.

And a modern army is about to attack us. Well, I guess we're going to have to build weapons and vehicles out of what we've got. And that's what they do. And it's a straight up A-team montage. I also like how they rigged up fireworks.

How will we know they're coming? Their fireworks worked like a tripwire. But how is that even... I don't know how you set up fireworks to tripwires. Yeah, and nobody was tripping the wire because it was on the side of the cars. Also, everyone... Okay, so The Rock calls it Samoa, but everyone calls it Samoa. So what is it? One. Two...

The only person who has a problem that a war is coming is his brother. Everyone is like, hot dog. Also, also, a war. People kept saying war, and I was like, mad. Not only would I be mad, but the main reason I would be mad is because two-thirds of the people in Samoa are children.

Also, these guys do custom cars. That's like getting those guys on that A&E show to be like, fight a war, guy with the big mustache, Walrus mustache. American Chopper? American Chopper? Yeah, American Chopper. Guys, fight a war. Can you imagine being like, I know who we need to go to. We only have 42 hours. We're going to the American Chopper, guys.

We're going to get them in the Duck Dynasty, guys, and we're going to war. Oh, wait a minute. We're for sure going to die. Wait, we've got to get Mythbusters in on this. Also, none of the Samoan guys, as far as I could tell, were killed, right? No. Zero. They were fine. There's no blood in the movie. That's the interesting thing. It rides this line of almost, I mean, the language, I guess, makes it R, but it's surprising. Is it R?

I have to imagine. I bet it's PG-13. I would imagine it's PG-13. Because there's no blood. There's zero blood. There's no nudity. There's barely any swearing. But there is a real hot scene. There is? Yes. Okay. So when homegirl fucking straddles the rock. It is PG-13. That was all I needed. I was like, oh, I feel. Oh, God.

When she wraps her legs around his face? No, that wasn't sexy. So, like, he's, like, driving or whatever. In the car, yeah. Oh, yeah. And then she, like, swings in and she straddles him and they have that moment. I was like, yes! Yeah. Also because, I will say, that happens after she has taken the most vulnerable leap of faith and he has caught her and pulled her in. Yes, yes! And she is wet. Yes! Yes!

She is sopping wet. He is rock hard. Oh, right? They both full-on gush in the truck. Yes, and it's like for a second. It's a straight-up gush truck. Yes. But then later on at sunset, they're like, mwah. Yeah.

It was like such, such a sixth grade kiss. And he was like, hey, how about another one? She's like, nah. He's like, yeah, I know, I know. He says, how about another one? And she turns him down. Well, also, the wind was blowing so hard. Like, he's bald, so you're like, whatever. But she's truly like,

It's blowing me so hard. And then those aerial shots, they were just zooming around them. I was like, this isn't sexy. We got a drone. Let's use it. Quicker, faster. I was thinking about The Rock's truck choice because he does like to pick a

I'm a big guy, like a big truck. But it seems not like the best vehicle to pick when you're trying to escape an exploding town. Like, it seems like that thing is going to be a little bit slow moving. But yet, he just drives through walls. Like, when that fireball comes, he's like, no, fuck it. Pfft.

That's where it seemed like they were really paying the Fast and the Furious debt. Right. Like getting all these old cool trucks and stuff. Yeah, and then when they hit the little thing and then like the engine zoom or whatever, I don't know what it's called. Yes. But that was like a throw to the original movies because that's what they would do. And I was like, I cheered. Sure, yeah. I was like, I was so excited. But like keep in mind,

So you're telling me that the Hobbs Custom Hot Rod builders are building into each car the ability to instantly hook up to a car either in front of or behind you because your assumption is in the course of driving, you will need to centipede up with other cars.

With other Hobbes. By the way, by the way, they were right. Yeah. Thank God. Paid off. And each one of them hit it each time. You got to get it right on the X. By the way, there,

Clang, clang. Boom, we're in. When you talk about when the rock was holding on to the helicopter. What a treat. Right? That was impressive. Maybe, again, slightly unrealistic. What I found to be very unrealistic was once he got control again, he just kind of threw the cord to the steel drum that turns. He's like, and then that caught it. It was like...

You cannot just throw a cord at a cylindrical object and it catches. They treated having the helicopter on a chain, on a winch, as if it's fishing. They treated it like reel it in, but you gotta let it out a little, give it a little space, then reel it in. When the chopper's tired, you gotta reel it in. This is a machine.

Let's go to the audience here. Let's see what you have to say about this movie. And I'm going to make you think about it, though, because what I'm going to have you do is you're going to say your name, but I need you to give an insult to either The Rock or Jason Statham. So I want you to think of it. Oh, oh. Oh, I mean, look, you could do anything. They literally call The Rock a fat ass. You don't have to be always clever.

All right, so you have your hand up. All right, here we go. Your name? Tim. Tim, do you have an insult?

Yeah, it's from the movie. Every time you speak, it's like dragging my balls through broken glass. Good to revisit that. Solid. There is so much balls talk in this movie. So much. I assume to keep it PG-13, like at one point, Statham gives Rock a pair of his pants and says, it might be stretched out in the crotch because of my balls. Yeah. As if the brag in that instance is...

I've got big balls. Not a big dick. I got a tiny little dick. But you know what I've got? Those big, fat, heavy balls. They'll stretch out pants, these balls. Not the dick. The dick is just hiding in there. Those balls, though, will ruin Denim.

Those giant nuts. Maybe he's got a problem. Maybe he's got elephantitis of the balls. Yeah, you know, maybe he's trying to raise awareness that, you know, big old balls is a danger. But it's weird because the two fake names he gave him were all about how small his dick was, but then all his brags are about his nuts. Yep. Big balls aren't great, right? I mean... Agreed. Anytime.

I've encountered them, I'm like, ooh, no. Guess what I wouldn't want to have? Big old balls. Big balls cluttering up my jeans. Yeah. Yeah, keep them jeans. Guess what? Everything that's hanging off of me has to be shoved into pants. I don't want big balls. I don't think, what do you think, that makes me feel like I'm more virile? I would love to think the way you put pants

with like balls and dick out and then you button them and shove them in. I just am cramming them in. Like a, like a jack in the box. One button, cram. Two button, cram. Three button, cram. Oh, can I get it? Can I get the last two buttons over the balls? Just cramming it in.

Tim, your question. Okay, two quick things. The first one is, did you guys notice when he put the pin back in the grenade, the grenade went... Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like a cyborg grenade or something. As if the grenade had an off sound. She also wrote, I believe, on the grenade, like, bang, which is, who is that for? Because...

You would have tripped the wire and it would have gone off and you'd be dead. You wouldn't be like, oh shit, grenade, bang. Oh, fuck, oh. Like a fucking Wile E. Coyote moment there. What's coming to you? The one other thing is about your screensaver. I'm sorry, does Tim get unlimited questions? I understand he's a regular, but what's happening? Okay, so Paul is Hobbes, Adam is Shaw, Nicole is Vanessa, Jason is Idris, and then on the right is Fred in this movie?

Drop dead Fred is the spirit creature. That's it. He is their invisible friend. Fred is the invisible friend. That was designed by the ghost of Frank T. Nelson. I'll say this. I don't see Fred in that, but that you do. But that you do, Tim, is very interesting. That was a great moment, too, when The Rock took off his Samoan war gear and then got put back on my other shirt. But he also had...

his Samoan dress. I was like, what? No. It was confusing. He bothered to put a t-shirt on as he's grabbing onto the back of a truck going like 50 miles an hour. All right, sir, your name, your favorite insult made up or your own and your question. I'm Jordan and I was just really surprised the rock fit in economy.

That was it. All right, well, you should be more surprised he fit in a McLaren because that car, it technically- Oh, is that when the three of them are in there? Yeah. The Rock says my favorite thing of the whole movie. He goes, what in the fresh turkey hell? That's PG-13. I guffawed. They do. And stamped my name.

They do a straight up product shot of McLaren's logo. They also showed, I think, Chevrolet on the old trucks. I was like, oh, okay, yeah, we back to cars. Well, Nate Kiley did some research for us. He says the car is a McLaren 720S. The exterior width of that car is 81 inches total. So keep in mind the interior would be 8 to 12 inches.

inches smaller than that. So let's say, generously, the interior of the car is 80 inches total. All right? Then the rock's chest measurement is 50 inches.

What? And Statham's chest measurement is 41 inches. So based on the simple arithmetic, we conclude that 91 inches of friggin' man will not fit into an 80-inch-width car. But honestly, it explains why women are so small in movies, so they can fit.

By the way, did you guys have any issue with that they were brothers, that they were brother and sister, even though they were 22 years apart? You know, I didn't question it. Of course not. I mean, sure, if you want to be like, eh, but I did not care. I thought they were very compelling and charismatic together. I didn't mind it. I love them. Yeah, they were great. I don't need to be the police on like, well, how late does Helen Mirren fuck?

Because that's the indictment. The indictment is Helen Marin fucked too old. If you want to say that their age difference is a problem, you're criticizing Helen Marin. You're right. We do have police for that, so you don't need to do that. Thank you. Although I would have liked to see like a 22-year-old guy or maybe like a 30-year-old guy playing with a six-year-old kid doing the Mick Jagger thing in the flashbacks.

Just like a real crazy lopsided agent. When we were kids, he's smoking a cigarette with a pint of beer in his hand. Do you think if you walked around and asked people on the street, how old is Jason Statham? Like, how old would they say he is? I'll tell you what I think he is. 37. Really? Jason Statham is at least 58 years old.

I would say he's at least 51. He's for sure in his 50s. I think he's ageless. I truly, I don't know. I look at him, I'm like, you aged well for a white man. I think he looks okay. I'm not criticizing him. I think he looks great. I think the movie thinks they're pulling off Jason Statham is 38 years old. Jason Statham, I believe, is in his mid-50s. Wait, is he, though? Anyone want to Google that right here? I don't know.

52. Wow. Yeah. Whoa. 52. And he looks great. Looks amazing. But that's the discrepancy between him and Vanessa Kirby, who is, I'm sure, in her 30s. Yeah, they look great together. Paul, I'm still stuck on your flashbacks to the Mick Jagger and using the Irishman technology to make Jason Statham 22 or 32 with a little girl and pulling off jobs together.

I want that movie. Give me a prequel. Sir, your name, your insult, your question. My name is Rich. I actually made the Twitter poster for you, so thank you for that. Oh, that's awesome. This one? He made a different one. He made a different one. My insult is, I think that shirt's cutting off circulation to your brain. That's great. A classic Los Angeles accent. As we all know.

The only flaw with this movie is that Statham wasn't in LA. I mean, that's what we knew. Okay, so we have two accomplished lawmen who don't like each other but have to work together. They're set up by a bad guy and have to clear their names. There's sexual tension with a sister. Is this tango in cash? Yes.

Oh, yeah. Tango and Cash came to mind many times during the movie last night. Have you seen Tango and Cash? Sure haven't. Tango and Cash? Is it about like a fiery Latina and a black man? Yes. Holy shit. That would make so much more sense. That would be unreal. That would make so much more sense. Salma Hayek and Chris Tucker in Tango and Cash. Tango and Cash.

Guys, I have a real... I got a real brain buster here. This is going to blow your mind. So tell them what you got. Tell me what you got. I was told a rumor today by a friend in the industry because David Leitch is using everybody that he's worked with before. The rumor is that Keanu will be the voice in the next one. Come on. The voice of what? The voice of the... The voice of the...

The thing? Here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say. Go ahead, Adam. I was just going to say, my son had the theory at the end that the voice is the rock and his brother's father. Right. Right? Isn't that a good one? Except that... Oh, that's good. Here's what I'll say. The voice says multiple times that the voice knows Shaw. Right. But then he said, we'll have a hell of a reunion...

To Hobbes. He knows Hobbes. Was that what it was? Not Shaw Hobbes? A hell of a family reunion. Hang on. Hold on, hold on. We're going to go back too much. Who does the voice say it knows? It was the voice saying to Hobbes, about Hobbes, we have a history. You probably don't remember me, but we have a history. And Idris Elba has a connection to Shaw. Yes. Doesn't the voice say something about knowing Shaw? It's good. Like it's...

Yes. They had Idris Elba try to recruit him. No, no, I know that, but I meant the voice. Okay, maybe I'm wrong. The voice says that about... By the way, here's what I want to just say. Because I heard a theory that the voice is Han. Oh, shit. That the voice is Han, and Han was the first cyborg-enhanced... Whoa!

This is not my theory. I'm not originating this. This I heard somewhere else, so let me, I'm just putting it out. I like that as an idea. A riot started at Largo on La Cienega Boulevard. I also heard that the voice could be, and I don't like this as much, Charlize Theron's character. Boo!

Here's what I'll say. Charlize Theron is going to be in Fast 9. Oh, okay. There's a little bit. Sorry. Charlize Theron. Oh, so then probably not. But here is my theory. Combines two of them. What if Keanu Reeves is The Rock's dad?

I'm in. Yeah, truly, I'm in. No questions. I love it. And I hope they dress him like a traditional Samoa warrior, you know? Like, just fully do it. All right, here we go. Ma'am, come up to me. She's trying to grab that mic, Paul. Yeah, I know. Ma'am, your name, your insult, your question. Oh, look at her. Grabbing right at it. My name is Chelsea. My insult is I think The Rock has bigger tits than me.

I like that. That's a good, that's an original insult. Who are you insulting? She's insulting the, no, no, but you, she made up the insult. You're the first person who did it. I see, I see, I see. And she's insulting The Rock because he's got big old titties. I see. And he's not supposed to have titties. So like, let's sell it though, sell it. Like you just kind of ran by. Like pretend The Rock is right here and sell it. Yeah, pretend I'm The Rock. What's that mic?

The Rock, you've got bigger tits than me. Boom!

I like that you called him The Rock. All right, next question. My question is, when the movie starts, we see Hattie, and she's this cool lady policeman, and I was like, oh, nice. Okay, there's diversity on the squad. And then literally for the rest of the movie, we never see any other female minion, scientist. The lingerie girls. The lingerie girls.

There's a whole Russian lingerie mercenary team. Their whole thing, they're just like a Victoria's Secret house. Yes, but they're liberating Russia. Where are the other combat operatives?

alongside Hattie. Is she the one? This is why this is going to be a great franchise. They're going to learn first about teamwork, then that women can do cool stuff. Then, like, it's... They're slowly evolving gentlemen. Here's what I will say. Because I do think...

many times they could have sidelined or marginalized Vanessa Kirby, right? Like, oh, you've got to do the machine, so go over there now. But they just instead are like, strap it to your back, keep fighting.

Yeah, great. The machine's on your back. You still go through a helicopter crash. Like they do. She is, I will say, in my opinion, a total fucking badass in that movie. She gets to fucking fight the rock. Even when she's got like the virus in her system, even when she's like the thing strapped to her back, she's still kicking ass.

Yeah, it was the three of them. I did think, I thought it was a missed opportunity as we're getting closer to the 72 hours. She should have started getting sick. Yes. And then saved at the last second. Yeah, she doesn't ever appear weak at all because the capsule should be deteriorating immediately.

But I will say that when she fights The Rock, which is a great sequence, The Rock is sort of like... I feel like the attitude is like, girls. Like... All right, threw a cement block at my head. No, lady. Like... Like, he's like...

all right, you got me. Like, it's a very, like, he kept on charging her as if, like, they are unhurtable. It's amazing. Obviously, we had an opinion about this movie. There are people out there with actually, honestly, the same exact opinion as us. But why not hear some of those? It is now time for Second Opinions.

She went...

We're going to see. Paul, back off. She's not done. You got this. I cannot give a star to this. And I give it. Whoa, Amazon stars. Give it up for Stacey. All right. That is a talented crew of Second Opinions. Was it, though?

That was incredible. Was it though? I loved it. I loved it when my friend said, I'm not done. And then continued and said, I'm not done. She was though so close to done. Yeah. It wasn't like there was a lot more. There was just a tiny bit more. And the audience was so behind it that you could have just gotten off right there. Get out while the getting's good. It was all great. I loved it. Was it? Yes. Yes.

Those are some amazing second opinions. We picked one, and the rest will be sent to the back of the episode. You can listen to the... Oh, no, no big deal. You can still hear them at the end of the episode, though. All right. Get to that back of the episode. You know what? The songs can ride anywhere in the episode they'd like to. Thank you.

There are four reviews total. Four reviews. So this is it. Nate had an easy week this week. So there are four reviews. They're pretty much all of about five stars. On Amazon? On Amazon, yes. So this is... Dot com. Yes. Oh, Amazon dot com. This one... Oh, and not Amazon dot net? This one, we'll start off with Kyle Hurley. And the title of the review is Cool Cool.

And he writes this. Just about enough humor, but just a bit too long. Not necessarily a good idea, but it works. Five stars.

But what I love about that is like, just about enough humor, just about enough, but also just a bit too long. So how did, that's a delicate balance he's running. And then, okay, this is, okay. This is from Crispy. Fairly good dialogue and banter between the two, excellent. Both of them can be considered dialogue.

CGI violence and action, great looking tough girl. Oh, by the way, all in caps. Everything here is in caps. The blonde from Mission Impossible and also Shaw's mom. A lot of humor, good villain.

Filling out the role nicely. Only flaw? Idris is trying to save the planet. Hobbs and Shaw thwart him. Similar to the Avengers and Thanos, who's trying to save the planet from overpopulation. Just goes to show how short-sighted the good guys really are. They're tough, but not brainy. But, oh well, live it up while you can, boys. Our planet will be dead in 50 years.

Five stars. Those are really the only two words. That review is from a hashtag Thanos was right point of view.

Now Idris was right. Wow. There it is. Well, just for perspective, this movie, it is PG-13. There's no taglines listed, which is really an interesting thing. The budget of this movie, $200 million. Opening weekend, $60 million on opening weekend. And so far...

This may not even be updated. This is a research on 810. The worldwide gross is $247 million. And it's still opening up everywhere right now. That's, I mean, that's all the facts I got because this just came out. How did it do critically, like Rotten Tomatoes? Oh, yeah. 100%. 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. Wow. I'm surprised by that.

- I'm not, it's so much fun. - I only mean that because I agree, I think it's so much fun. I'm surprised that the critical reception agrees with us. - Yeah, they're right. - Fair.

Well, this has been great. Any, well, I mean, I think it's a no-brainer. We all agree. There's one thing I do want to mention, which is only that none of us have yet mentioned the greatest line in the episode, which is Idris Elba saying, genocide, schmanicide. Yeah. Right at the top of the movie. As if to brush off the severity of their plan being worldwide genocide. Yeah.

But yet, when Idris Elba says it, it has a gravitas to it that doesn't sound... Again, this movie does a great job of saying insane things. So stone-faced. This movie is a triumph. Genocide, schmenicide. Cool, yeah. This movie is a triumph of casting. Because all of these people are selling nonsense. Yeah. And I am buying it.

Yeah, 100%. There was not a moment where I was like, no, come on. No. I was there. Yes! Yeah, it really does, like, it is everything that you would want to see, and it seems like everyone who's in it is legitimately happy to be there. Like, can you believe it? Like, I feel like they're like, I'm a fan, I get to be in this movie now and say crazy shit. Yeah.

Can I ask you a question? Do you think when they go to Samoa and they're doing the whole thing and then they're like, bad guys are coming. We got to get prepared to go to the war. And they're like, do you have guns? And he's like, yeah, we've got guns. And he opens the cabinet and there's no guns. And mom has replaced all the guns with traditional war implements. Is this meant to be like an anti-gun message baked into this weird movie? Yeah.

A little bit. That's how I took it. Is this movie trying to take a stance that is like, not guns always? I mean, maybe it's like chains and old school wooden weapons are really the way to go. Because they're like, we don't need weapons. We just need bodies. Well, their whole thing is like, we need hearts. That's right. Hearts. We got a lot of that or something in.

I thought that was interesting that the big final fight took guns out of the equation almost completely. Yeah, because they took the chips out of all their electric guns. Oh, because everybody's a hacker. They hacked the guns. Well, I think they did it because who wants to see people just shoot? I want to see them rub up against each other and slam shit into them. I mean, when The Rock took that wooden mallet, I'm like, fuck, yeah. Like a judge thing. Hammer, a judge hammer. A gavel. A gavel.

Oh, yeah. Oh, he's just out here Judge Judy-ing motherfuckers. Guilty. Kablam, kablam, kablam. I find you in contempt. That son of a bitch is guilty. I'll allow it, Counselor.

You know what? My only quibble with the movie was I was wondering, and it's fine, it's a Fast and Furious movie, but I was wondering if this, maybe after this one, the sequence or the set piece that starts in the abandoned warehouse where they talk and decide that we need to fight, then the chase scene goes out into the abandoned, burned out industrial park.

I wonder if we need to ever see that again. Because it seems like every single, not just Fast and the Furious, but every single action movie, there is something that will take place in the abandoned warehouse. It's like it's the abandoned factory that they can just drive through walls and silos are coming down. I agree that that could be done. My question about the franchise in general is,

He's a robot. Where do they go? Like, who is more... Space is a location. We need, like, a villain. Ghosts? This motherfucker gets it! Yeah!

Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters. Just like Transformers. Yeah, Ghostbusters, Jason Reitman, we'll fucking see you. Here's the deal. The ghost of Han is coming for these fuckers. And again, I want to be clear, no justice is needed for Han. He's a straight up cold-blooded killer. Many children died in Brazil because of his recklessness with that fucking safe plan.

Anyway, anyone? Adam, what do you got going on? Oh, man, you know what? Not much, but I am just so glad to be here and so glad that this movie came out. I feel like this is, for me personally,

the most highly anticipated of the faster than furious. Like absolutely. I remember you guys being the ones to tell me they, I think at a recording of an episode that they were going to make a Hobbs and Shaw spinoff. And I thought you were joking because it sounded way too good to be true. Um, so this was just a 100% pleasure. What a great movie. Uh, any, uh, Nicole, what do you bet you? What do you got going on? Oh boy. Well, uh, I have too many podcasts. Uh,

Why Won't You Date Me, Best Friends. I have a podcast where I recap 90 Day Fiance because it's the funniest show. Oh, that's my favorite thing. I didn't know you do this. I love this show. It's called 90 Day Bae. It's on Patreon. It's $5 a month. But it's the best show, I'm fucking telling you. I'm addicted to that show. It's so fucking... Are you caught up? I'm a little behind because... There's this one filtered pics and she's like, I don't know what he's going to do when he sees me. I'm like, bitch, I be mad.

It's great. You guys, if you're not watching, it is... You can't write it in a writer's room. Like, at one... Okay, so, Asuelo... I'm following the majority of them on Instagram. Do you? Yes. Did you follow Colty and Larissa's drama? Oh, my God. Are they back together now? No. They had a divorce party in Vegas. I saw that. That my co-host Marcy went to. Oh, my God.

Divorce party for these two. So if you want to hear me talk about that. I want to watch that Irishman who's like very upset with like his wife going out. He's like, you don't go out without me. It's hard to talk to you. Don't go out with me. Sorry, Nicole and I will continue this conversation out there. Um...

Jason, what do you want to tell the people about besides our tour in September, which there's still tickets for, hdtgminfo.com. We're in Seattle, Portland, Chicago. Toronto. Toronto. And there's one other place. San Francisco. San Francisco. Berkeley. Berkeley. Those are good cities. I mean, listen, I was on, this will come out this week. Yeah. So I was on Legion two weeks ago. Rap battle Jason. Yes. If you want to see me in a rap battle with Jemaine Clement.

Legion two weeks ago. Let's see. And then also John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum. Woo!

I still haven't seen John Wick 3, and I can't believe it. I'm in that movie. I know. It is so weird. I really want to see that movie. Yeah, and then please come and see us on tour. Please buy the tour merch that is individualized for each location on the tour. It's been really fun. We're making shirts for every show. Inside jokes. T-shirts that are legit inside jokes. When you look at our tour shirts, they make no sense.

Oh, and I will say this. If you're a casual listener to this show, I would urge you to, if you have not already, listen to the Drop Dead Fred episode. It is one or two back in the feed, and it is, I think, quite possibly, the best and the worst episode of the show. Everything is fine between us, but I will tell you this much. But I will say, June is not here. Right. Yeah.

Just wanted you to know that her sister had a baby and she's visiting her sister and that's where she is. So she's out of town with family? Everything is fine. You're saying June is out of town with family. But everything's cool. Yeah, all right. We'll wrap this up. But also...

If you have listened to that episode, check out our mini episode where people have written songs in tribute to that episode. And we actually play some of the deleted scenes from that episode in the mini episode as well. And having had a couple of weeks now, a month almost, to process it and really think about it, if you continue to represent Team Sanity, you're a fucking moron.

You are a fucking moron. Where are my Team Sanity people? Team Friend. Team Sanity. Team Friend. Sanity. Friend. Friend. Friend. Friend. Friend. Friend. Friend. Friend. Friend. Friend. Friend.

People are coming up to me in public and going, hey man, Team Fred all the way. And for me, Team Sanity. It's been great. And I just want to clarify one thing because on the boards and all this shit, I'm not against creativity. I'm not against imagination. I just want a better version of the movie that we saw. I like everything they said. No, you said you loved the movie.

Yes! She's a single mom! She's a monster! She cleans shit off the floor and doesn't even go, why did you put shit on the floor? She comes to get help. The reason why she's better and why she finds herself is because her mom gave her the pills.

Anyway, I wrote a book called Cosmic Ghostwriter. It's a Marvel book. The final book just came out this week. You can check it out. Cosmic Ghostwriter Destroys Marvel History. And that is that.

Bald's beautiful. It's beautiful. Bald's beautiful. True. Hobbs and Shaw. Tyrese and Diesel too. True.

I sing this song for you. I give you all five star reviews.

There you go. Stand right there. Now it's time for second opinions. I said, this ain't one star. This ain't two stars. This the whole enchilada and some five yards. I got Hobbs and Shaw. It's the best fucking movie that I ever saw. Yeah, yeah. I said, I just gave it five stars. I just gave it five fucking stars. This movie had the rock.
