24

In this case, this week,

we're talking about the Ministry

25

of Ungentlemanly Warfare,

not the League of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

26

I think some of. Yeah.

27

I fix the reel that you did.

28

I, I saw I saw the post that you change.

29

The other thing

30

I did, you see that

I dubbed you with my voice.

31

Oh, no, I didn't watch it.

32

You also.

33

Yeah. You're like, hi, guys.

34

This is it.

35

We're talking about the Ministry of.

36

I love it.

37

All right, so we watched this yesterday.

38

We did.

39

We went to our local cinema, Cinemark,

our local cineplex.

40

Excuse me, has Cinemark.

41

It was a Cinemark,

but we went to our local theater,

42

and we actually didn't watch in Imax

because it's not in Imax.

43

We saw it in one of the other theaters

where it has the recliners

44

that were in interesting

shape, to say the least.

45

so, I mean, where would you like to

what do you want to start here?

46

You want to start off with, what you saw

47

right off the bat or what

you were your anticipation for this movie.

48

I mean, I didn't have

any kind of anticipation for this film.

49

I wasn't normally like.

50

Yeah, I mean, I like I,

Richie, was his last movie.

51

We saw the gentleman. well,

you saw a covenant.

52

I didn't see covenant.

53

was that his last?

54

That was his last film? Yeah,

the Jake Gyllenhaal one.

55

I'm pretty sure that was the last one

56

I saw. Covenant. Yep.

57

Wrath of man is his two,

58

right? He.

59

He did. Wrath of man, right?

60

Wasn't that.

61

What.

62

What's with, Statham?

63

Isn't that.

Is that him, or was it Antoine Fuqua?

64

Who did Wrath of Man?

65

Oh I don't oh you're right, he did.

66

He did do Wrath of Man. Right.

67

Because I remember he

because he directed that during the

68

pandemic.

69

Yeah. Yeah, he did it.

70

He did it on but but,

but but so did Fuqua.

71

Did the one with

72

Jake Gyllenhaal where he's the responder,

73

where he's, the 911 operator, like,

he's been suspended. And.

74

Oh, that was awesome as well.

75

Yeah, well,

he was up in the vans of offset, so

76

because you could tell like they were

it was shot during the pandemic

77

and they were near each other

and stuff like that.

78

so, so yeah. So no. Yeah.

79

I guess the covenant, the last one I did

80

see that you didn't see, Operation

Fortune, ruse.

81

Dig? Yeah.

82

Whatever they didn't see that one with,

83

that's also with Jason Statham

and, Hugh Grant.

84

that's the one.

85

No, I wanted to I didn't get to see that

one because I don't know where it went.

86

So that's in theaters

87

because that's also got Josh Hartnett

as the idiot actor, right? Yes.

88

Yeah. Yeah.

89

That's actually not bad.

90

That's pretty good. That's

that's not bad. Yeah.

91

That's what I saw was the gentleman.

92

Yeah.

93

Which I didn't mention.

94

I mean I didn't not like it, but

I was like oh it was okay when I saw it.

95

But the more I see clips of it,

96

the more I want to go back to it, because

every time I see a clip of I'm like,

97

I like this scene, I like this scene.

98

Colin Farrell is really good in

that Tom feels really good in that.

99

Yeah.

100

but that's a show now too

on Netflix though.

101

They got a, they did like a Netflix.

102

Yeah I think it is

103

because somebody was somebody I know

104

watched it

and he was trying to get me to watch it.

105

So I said I'll get around to it.

106

but anyways let's talk about this

107

which I already forgot

the name of it, the Mysterio

108

bathroom.

109

Okay.

110

I don't know, man.

111

What what what did you think?

112

I guess that's

probably the perfect question to ask.

113

I mean, it's a movie where for two hours,

they pretty much kill Nazis.

114

So I dug it. Yeah.

115

It's always fun to kill Nazis.

116

Everything we talk about on the podcast,

it's always nice to have a bad guy

117

in a realistic movie where it's like,

yeah, no, they're the bad guy.

118

And it's easy to.

119

It's easy to be okay with all the murder.

120

I was a little disappointed

in the violence level, like the violence

121

was there.

122

Especially when Alan Richardson's

character goes nuts.

123

yeah.

124

But it wasn't very.

125

It's rated R, but it's not very gory.

126

It kind of hides and, hides the violence.

127

It's almost like it's trying to be peachy.

128

13 but they say the F-word a couple times.

129

yeah, I don't know.

130

I mean, maybe, maybe there was some

maybe they were kind of

131

on the fence trying

to figure out what they wanted to do.

132

rating wise, I thought that a little.

133

I mean, we're so used to.

134

I mean, I guess I'm waiting for, like,

an Inglorious Basterds type bloodbath.

135

Kind of sad.

136

Yeah.

137

so,

I can understand that there were there

138

probably were some stuff,

like when he's got the ax and he's like,

139

you know, he's

definitely doing some bad stuff.

140

you know,

I guess it leaves it to the imagination,

141

but but again, to be, to, to, to be fair,

I guess I don't

142

I don't know if Guy Ritchie's really known

for that much.

143

I was like,

I was thinking that too, after the fact.

144

Yeah. I can't remember. Like.

145

I mean, he's doesn't have a lot of blood,

gentlemen.

146

I know, I mean,

but it's like it's violent gangsters.

147

But there's never a lot of hardcore

violence, if that makes sense.

148

Yeah, right.

No he doesn't. Yeah. He never.

149

His movies

don't really kind of cross that line.

150

More like a Tarantino might or others.

151

I can't think of a top of my head, but.

152

Yeah. So so

I guess I was, I was fine with that.

153

But like with it, when you talk about

the bad guys, I think there was never

154

there was never any real danger of them

155

being caught or being killed or,

156

you know, like anything

happening to them.

157

So I think that, you know, that that,

that kind of like

158

it allows you to have to enjoy the film

and not worry about that

159

kind of stuff, but also

but then there's no stakes at hand.

160

There's no kind of like,

oh my God, what's going to happen?

161

I kind of know

they're going to get away with it.

162

So it's

kind of a double edged sword, but I think,

163

I think the film clearly trying to set up

164

another one, I would assume,

like they're trying to do more

165

because it felt like that.

166

I mean, according to the film, Gus,

who's a Henry Cavill's character,

167

only has one more mission. And,

before it gets captured.

168

oh. That was him who got captured.

169

I thought it was, Not.

170

You mean Henry Golden?

171

Is Henry Golden? Gus.

172

Who's Gus?

173

I thought it was Henry Cavill's. Gus.

174

I don't think so.

175

I just remembering his Gus's.

176

And you.

177

I know this thing's going in, man.

178

Now he is Gus,

but I don't think he gets captured.

179

I think it was, I thought it was.

180

I thought it was like Hades or something

like that.

181

Or one of the

one of the other guys or Freddie Alvarez.

182

I thought it was one of them who gets,

captured because Gus is the first one.

183

They pop up and it talks

about how it gives him, like all this,

184

that he was the inspiration for change,

but it doesn't tell anything.

185

But then the second or third guy

is the one that gets captured

186

and who never breaks.

187

I thought they just go back to Gus

and saying, gusted to

188

another mission afterward.

189

And he got caught, but he never broke.

190

No, that wasn't I don't that I really

don't think that was his character.

191

I think that was somebody else,

192

because he ends up marrying Marjorie

193

Stewart like a year later after that,

that mission, that's what they said.

194

And, but regardless,

who cares regarding that?

195

Regardless?

196

so yeah, I didn't really have any kind of

197

I really didn't have any kind of,

198

I don't know, a negative thing.

199

I enjoyed the film.

200

I didn't really have any kind of

201

oh, that took me out in like this,

you know, anything like that.

202

So I don't know.

203

I'm trying to figure out, I guess maybe

204

my biggest knock,

whatever it was, was there's no stakes.

205

There's no there's no concern that they're

not going to get away with it or not.

206

I can't do what they need to do.

207

I will ask you this, though.

208

They go and steal one boat.

209

But weren't there three boats

that they were supposed to get?

210

Isn't there like a third boat

somewhere or two?

211

Two other boats in a different like,

you know what I mean?

212

Like they were like

213

there were the U-boats themselves

or whatever, but they they decided

214

we're just going to steal the boat

that's going to supply them.

215

And that's what I'm over.

216

Okay.

217

So I mean, I guess the,

the montage of when they're sailing, like,

218

because at some point

they got to sail for 12 days

219

and it's like nothing really happens

with the the ministry.

220

They're just kind of on the boat

sailing along.

221

So I didn't really think that,

there wasn't really much happening.

222

And then

223

at the end of the movie when they kind of,

they line them all up

224

and they have hair on with them

and they have, Marjorie with them.

225

They're like, you know, you

you ministry of ungentlemanly,

226

you ministry of, you know,

ungentlemanly warfare. It's like.

227

But I didn't think

that they were part of that.

228

I thought they were just add ons.

229

They were just there to help out.

They were setting everything up.

230

And these ruffians were going

to were the actual guys that, you know.

231

Right?

232

They were just doing what I did beforehand

to get the information.

233

And it was everyone

at one time together and

234

because they well, because they all got

caught in international waters,

235

right, with the German, which,

236

with a mission that was unsanctioned.

237

So even though they were spies,

238

they were still doing

the unsanctioned mission.

239

So they were still technically traitors

to their country.

240

Okay.

241

So yeah.

242

But, do you go ahead?

243

Well, another thing, when you talk about

stakes, it's like you have the,

244

what's the actress name?

245

I actually I actually really like him.

246

the German guy.

247

I'll take he's got a.

248

Yeah, he was, he was

heavier till till Schweiger.

249

He was heavier in, Bastards.

250

He was like, beat, like.

251

I guess he was like,

you know, like bulkier number, heavier.

252

Because he was supposed to be super scary.

253

Yeah, he wasn't quite like the bear.

254

The bear drew was like,

obviously Eli Roth with huge.

255

But he was supposed to be like someone

256

you don't mess with

who killed like a ton of Nazis.

257

But in this one, when he appears,

258

it's like you get,

oh, he's got blood in his hands.

259

And you see the beaten woman in his,

briefly,

260

and his his, I guess, beating room,

which is, I guess, okay.

261

At your cabin.

262

Yeah.

263

But it's just like there's no stakes.

264

You don't get to see how bad he torture.

265

Like, not that I want to see

266

how bad he tortured her, but, like,

there's no real stakes.

267

Again, we don't know exactly.

268

Like, we know he's got, like,

a thing for beating people, but

269

there's no stakes with his character.

270

I never felt like Isaac, Gonzalez's

character was ever going to be.

271

Was really in danger.

272

And like,

273

first thing, you're supposed to think

like, oh, Marjorie is going to get kicked.

274

And it's like,

I never thought that, you know,

275

like when they were going to shackle her

up and then then they hear the explosion

276

and he's like,

he's like, shackle her or whatever.

277

And but I didn't see

they're going to take her with them.

278

I thought they were just

going to leave her there.

279

Then, you know, that's what I thought too.

And then she's in the car.

280

Yeah, but then I thought

maybe they'd get her on.

281

his character,

the guy from, Strange New Worlds.

282

Because he gets caught in the.

283

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he gets caught in the

electric room trying to shut the power.

284

And I was like,

all right, then that's that's it.

285

He's going to get caught.

286

One person's got stakes.

287

And then I mean, granted,

it's based on a true story.

288

So if they all survived,

they all survived.

289

But like,

that was the one moment I thought,

290

all right,

someone's not going to get away with it.

291

And then he kills every single person

and he gets away right.

292

Well,

with the exception of Heinrich Lure, who.

293

Which is the character

that Till Schweiger played?

294

the the other Nazis were,

were kind of bumbling.

295

They're kind of buffoonish.

296

Like they're very easy to kill, very easy.

297

Like to to trick. Very easy to like.

298

I mean, maybe that's just kind of like the

when even when they went to the prison,

299

and they and they rescued,

the guy that the robber.

300

Yeah. Henry. Right.

301

Yeah. Yes. was a Philip. Yeah. Henry.

302

Oh, no.

303

Jeffrey. Jeffrey. Jeffrey.

304

When they go to rescue him,

it just doesn't seem like the

305

the the Nazis were,

a well-organized, unit.

306

all over.

307

And I don't know if that's

just the location of where they were,

308

like, in terms of in southern Africa,

or it was just kind

309

of, you know, I mean, like,

they're not in the fight kind of thing.

310

I think there's also

311

kind of just like, hey, we want the Nazis

to be buffoonish and but like, we want.

312

Yeah. Okay.

313

So it's kind of like,

314

oh, nobody's going to complain

and nobody's going to complain about that.

315

Yeah, exactly.

316

Nobody's going to complain about that

that, that, you know, they,

317

they want to see the ministry

take care of business and whatnot.

318

So and then it's got

and it's got really good action

319

in that way, especially like you said,

Al Allen Richardson's character,

320

what's his character? The Anders.

321

You know, he's got a lot of good stuff

going on.

322

He he's, you know, it's.

323

And then you got Henry Cavill just kind of

when he's flipping here and there,

324

when he goes in and he starts

325

laughing with the joke,

and then he takes everybody out.

326

Oh, in the, in the barracks

when the prisoner.

327

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

328

Or the one Nazi who's trying to get the,

329

the commander's attention

and he's like, shut up.

330

And then all of a sudden it's too late

because the air gun just rips

331

through them.

332

Yeah, yeah. The.

333

I wanted to ask you this

because I don't know this offhand,

334

and I don't know

because you love James Bond so much.

335

I'm wondering if you know this.

336

The Carol Ellis character,

oh, was character

337

Brigadier

Gubbins, who's m the history of M.

338

What is that?

339

Do you do

you know, like when that started.

340

What?

341

That like,

you know, the whole character of M

342

because you see that,

it all starts in World

343

War two in terms of,

like what Ian Fleming did.

344

okay.

345

I, I'm pretty sure there is real

in real life, at least in World War two,

346

there wasn't a m

that was an actual station.

347

He's all them.

348

Yeah.

349

I'm curious where

the origination of the term comes from.

350

I don't know if you knew that offhand.

351

Oh, I don't know. Okay.

352

I think it comes from master

like he's the master of the group.

353

That's what I always assumed.

354

But he's under my master Churchill.

355

Yeah, but he's under Churchill.

356

He's under correct?

357

Yeah. The p m. Yeah.

358

Okay.

359

Well, because Churchill basically started

that's why he was

360

Churchill

was big on the underhanded kind of stuff.

361

I thought that was that Kingsman.

I get whatever he was.

362

Yeah, okay.

363

I was just curious about that.

364

if if you, I kind of

gotta give a plug now for,

365

if you the the actor that played,

Ian Fleming, Freddie Fox, he's actually

366

in a show that I watch on Apple called

Slow Horses with, Gary Oldman.

367

yeah.

368

I recommend that.

That's actually British.

369

Do you know what it's about?

You know what the slow horses are?

370

It's like a bumbling group of, like,

the underdogs, the group of spies.

371

They're not.

372

They're not bumbling

because they're in Slough House.

373

That's where they're.

That's why they're called Slow Horses.

374

That's

where they're located in Slough House.

375

And what it is

is, is agents that have messed up

376

have done something like

with not just like screwed up and up, but,

377

you know, maybe have a gambling addiction

just to, to screw ups.

378

But and so they, they don't want to

they don't quit.

379

So they, they send them to this to,

to Slough House where they just sit there.

380

And Gary Oldman is like a,

a, he's there,

381

he's their boss

and he's kind of a screw up too,

382

but he just he just doesn't

he's like extremely mean to them.

383

But anyways.

384

And Fleming, he's he's in that

385

he's in that show and he it's it's

a good show and and they keep get renewed.

386

They got renewed for

like what I like about the show is

387

they're like six, eight episodes,

maybe 6 or 6 episodes.

388

And, and when they end the season,

they've already shot the next season.

389

So you see a preview of the

of the new season coming up.

390

And he's doing a bunch of books. Yeah.

391

And it's just it's it's a nice quick show.

392

It's it's about spies in Britain.

393

So I don't know I recommend it if, if you

394

if you're ever feeling that itch

I do want to check it out.

395

I do obviously I love spy stuff.

396

So I've put on my list of stuff

to check out.

397

I have finished

running. I'm trying to get.

398

Yeah, please.

399

I've already already watched, monarch.

400

I already watched that whole thing.

That was ten episodes, baby.

401

Look at you. Look at you go.

402

I know I said I would do it when we did.

403

the now showing for Godzilla,

404

and Godzilla and Gam

Kong, whatever, blah blah, blah, whatever.

405

That was the subtitle again,

the forgotten and, New Empire.

406

Empire just

407

so. Anyways, so I guess there's really,

I mean, we we liked it.

408

It's a fun movie to go to.

409

It's clearly a movie for dudes,

I think primarily.

410

I mean, although I would imagine it's

probably going to be coming, to digital

411

real quick because we were two of seven

in the theater last night.

412

So, yeah,

if not, and I and I'm pretty sure, yeah,

413

I'm pretty sure the, the young people,

the teenagers that were there,

414

the teenagers are

probably were like in their early 20s,

415

really couldn't care

less about what was on screen.

416

So, because they were

this was so, right.

417

It was. Yeah.

418

It was just you and me.

419

And then there's two single dude sitting

in front of us, separate separately.

420

I know there was an old couple as well.

421

Oh. Was there okay, so it was

there wasn't a lot of people in theater.

422

So I would imagine this is coming straight

to digital very soon.

423

but hey, that's them's

them's the breaks, right?

424

The theaters are.

425

It is a thing.

426

Well, I mean, they were also

and I think I mentioned it to you,

427

they're going up against two other Rated-R

movies.

428

You've got Civil War, which is still doing

well in the box office,

429

and they went up against Abigail, which is

a horror movie that's rated R as well.

430

So then you have this World War Two

431

kind of Guy Ritchie movie

kind of stuck in the center.

432

One thing I was a little disappointed with

this movie is it didn't do a lot of Guy

433

Ritchie stuff.

434

I don't know if you kind of

call it that or disappointed.

435

I just kind of like

it's like a heist or a planned.

436

It's all it's all about a plot, a scheme.

437

And they didn't really do that. Typical.

438

Because here's what we're going to do.

439

All right.

440

But what you don't realize

is we already done did it.

441

I was a little sad

that it didn't have any of those moments.

442

Well, it was more of a linear.

443

It was more of a linear, story.

444

So I guess you really didn't

have to, like,

445

I was trying to remember if they do like,

kind of background on people.

446

He does it though, when, when Gus is

447

saying who he wants to be on his team.

448

They do kind of do that little flashback

to the East character, but not in the way

449

that, you know, we're used to with a Guy

Ritchie film.

450

Right?

451

So, I, I understand that and, but

452

I think it's that's

because the story didn't lend to that.

453

I think it's more of a linear story

that that's what, that's what lent.

454

That's what probably, you know, Guy

Ritchie realized maybe, you know, he

455

he didn't need to do all that because,

I mean, I enjoy all that stuff, but it's

456

it depends on the story.

It depends if it needs it.

457

You know?

458

Well, I think this with the scheme,

459

it would add some kind of tension

to scenes where it's like

460

you don't know

if they're going to get out,

461

but it's like, but like the guys who get

chained into their their warehouse.

462

Maybe you don't know that

until that's revealed.

463

Oh wait, they've been locked in or,

you know, oh,

464

we're going to blow up the lights or,

you know, you can you can add tension

465

and then reveal how that

466

tension is resolved afterward, which Guy

Ritchie's really, really, really good at.

467

Yeah.

468

Well, I don't,

I mean, he's not done it before.

469

He didn't do it in Aladdin.

470

Of course.

471

he, he you know,

what's funny is the the King Arthur movie

472

that he did, he had some of that in there,

473

and I thought that that was not right

for that film was off putting.

474

I agree, I was not I mean yeah.

475

So so yeah. So sometimes it works,

sometimes it doesn't.

476

But hey, I'm you know, I think what we got

was, was was good and fun

477

and I'd watch it again when it comes on

digital just to kind of catch it again.

478

and there's a lot of people in it

that I didn't realize right now

479

when we were watching it.

480

I didn't realize that

because you mentioned with Henry Golding,

481

I didn't realize it was Henry Golding

either until we caught it.

482

Yeah, right. It's I, I was like,

oh, shoot, he was in there.

483

And then and then looking at it now,

they had the guy who was the original,

484

Alex Pettyfer is here, wasn't

he the original Percy Jackson

485

when that's that when it originally

came out, wasn't that him?

486

Oh, Or is or was he in?

487

I know the number one.

488

The number for one I am for. Is that it?

489

Well, that's also interesting as well.

490

Right, right.

491

So I didn't realize that was him.

492

then Rory Kinnear play Churchill,

which was really like.

493

I mean, this is the same

494

I mean, this is a side note,

but like, or tangent,

495

but like, with all these streamers

and all these movies that come out and,

496

you know, like Netflix and Apple

497

and all these shows, it's really difficult

to kind of follow a character,

498

follow an actor and just kind of be like,

oh, I like him.

499

He was it

because they're all over the place.

500

And then you see,

501

and then somebody pops up in this movie

and you're like, oh, they're really good.

502

And you don't really like,

they've probably been like 4

503

or 5 things you haven't seen before

that were really good.

504

you know what I mean?

505

They're just it's so difficult to I think

that's good for an actor, though. Now.

506

Oh, I was, I, I think I must yeah.

507

They get worse. Yeah.

508

They get a lot of work.

They can do a lot of different projects.

509

You're not stuck with just,

510

you know, well, especially like people

that end up doing Marvel,

511

it's like they've before streamers

that would have been their career.

512

Like, oh, I'm only known for this.

This is what I have to do.

513

And like they can go off

and do other stuff.

514

I mean, look at, Adam Driver,

515

I think before this kind of stuff

took off, he would have been one.

516

No, he'd been, a Star Wars villain. Now.

517

He would have just had girls beforehand.

518

But now with streamers and all that

and so many different avenues,

519

I think that's what's allowed him

520

to really be able to do stuff

like Marriage Story and,

521

whatever that Knight movie was with,

Matt Damon, they have to see

522

that now.

523

The, Yeah, the,

524

what was that?

525

You never saw it.

526

I didn't know, I didn't I didn't watch it.

527

I wanted to see it in theaters.

528

I still work at the theater.

529

And then the last duel.

530

Yes, but I think that's really good

for actors

531

to be able to,

532

to do all that.

533

Also, my mom just texted me,

instead of messaging on, on YouTube.

534

She's watching.

535

And she said,

my mustache is doofy and it's doofy.

536

I said, that it's based on,

Henry Cavill's mustache for the movie.

537

This is what he does with his beard

while shave it.

538

so the other thing I was going to say

was, well,

539

what you were saying, I understand,

but I'm looking at, I'm talking about

540

from a audience member,

from somebody who's a cinephile.

541

I'm saying it's kind of difficult

to latch on to, to certain

542

when you see an actor

and you just kind of like, oh, I never,

543

you know, like more and more.

544

Maybe I'm just old. More and more times

I just see people like, what?

545

Where are they from?

546

Like, so I mean, I know a lot

547

most of the cast, I've seen a lot of stuff

they've been and it's just,

548

I don't know, I guess

that's my old man take for the night.

549

I would say that

550

nowadays, more than ever, you need,

like IMDb to follow an actor's like,

551

find out what else would that cause

it is, like you said, everywhere.

552

What if I'm like, what?

553

But like this?

554

Take it from the fact

that if I'm a casual moviegoer,

555

you know, like like when you like,

we talk about this

556

on the podcast in the main show

about the big head posters that came out,

557

you know, like Harrison

Ford always had a big head poster.

558

Tom Cruise has a big head to head poster

because those faces sell tickets.

559

Denzel Washington, big head,

because that's why people go there.

560

So like,

we like, if you took this cast, you

561

I mean, I know

the poster has a couple of them

562

there, with the exception of Henry Cavill,

maybe Alan Ritchson because of.

563

But I think he's a regional.

564

Yeah, but but again, not

everyone has Prime Video.

565

So like that's the thing

I'm talking about.

566

Like that's where he and I know he's on.

567

what was the,

high school football, college football on?

568

not Franklin State.

569

Blue Mountain State was his. Yeah.

570

Yeah, I know he was in that too.

571

I'm just saying, like, it's

very like we know Herron be from

572

because he's in the Star Trek show.

573

So I mean, like, that's where we know him.

574

But again everyone it's Paramount Plus.

575

So it's like it's it's stuff like that

576

that I'm just saying it's

maybe for the casual moviegoer, it's

577

really difficult these days

to kind of latch on to a movie star,

578

somebody that is on the rise

or is in a lot of film stuff.

579

I don't know, it's just something

that kind of makes everybody

580

and makes everybody

a character actor instead of a movie star.

581

Which which again, it that's good.

582

I like that because it's good

you getting quality but again.

583

But you need to the world needs movie

stars and celebrities.

584

You need that.

You know what I mean? You just do.

585

The world of the movie star is ending.

586

No, I don't think so, man.

587

I don't think so.

588

The world of the superstar. I don't think

589

a lot of

590

superstars are going to have to be multi

multifaceted.

591

You're going to have to be a music and

movie superstar or something like that.

592

Can I say that every decade

that they still have people

593

that are just strictly

there's a there's just

594

there's somebody out there

that you we've probably seen in 1 or 2

595

things is going to blow up again

and be a big time action star.

596

You think there's going to be

another Harrison Ford or Tom cruise?

597

I don't, I don't they're out there.

598

They're out there.

599

Oh totally.

600

Totally. They're out there 100%.

601

absolutely.

602

We I, we might not be able to zero in

on who it is, but 200%,

603

there's absolutely going to be somebody

that is on some kind of TV show

604

that you probably have never seen.

605

And they're going to

they're going to be in something and like,

606

you know, whatever it is

and they're going to be a sir, absolutely.

607

I believe in the process. Butler

I believe it's you.

608

It's going to be you.

609

Oh, not with this mustache.

610

Exactly, exactly.

611

All right.

612

So I mean, I mean,

I don't know what else to say about this.

613

but go check it out if you can.

614
