Episode 127 - Behind the Camera: Film Director Legacies
From Hollywood blockbusters to the death of the penny, this episode takes listeners on a wild conversational journey through pop culture, film criticism, and the craft of acting.
The crew doesn't hold back their scathing review of Gladiator 2, tearing apart its predictable storylines and ridiculous Colosseum flooding scene complete with imported sharks. "That was so stupid," they agree, lamenting how the sequel fails to capture the original's magic despite Denzel Washington's involvement.
When talk shifts to streaming recommendations, enthusiasm builds for "Duster" with its 70s aesthetic and "Mobland" starring Tom Hardy, which keeps viewers guessing with constant twists. They share excitement for the upcoming "Dexter: Resurrection" while reminiscing about the character's journey through previous iterations.
The discussion takes a fascinating turn when examining what separates truly great actors from one-dimensional performers. "Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt have crazy range," they argue, contrasting their transformative performances against actors who essentially play themselves in every role. From Wolf of Wall Street to Inglourious Basterds, they celebrate performers who disappear completely into diverse characters.
Special effects get their due as the hosts marvel at Charlie Chaplin's ingenious camera tricks—like the famous skating scene created with painted floors—compared to today's CGI-heavy productions. "That's more legit right there. Give him more props for that," they insist, appreciating the creativity that budget limitations inspired.

Welcome back to the Drifting on the Arroyo podcast. This is Mig, this is Lano, and RK67 full crew, y'all, we're all back together. We're all together. We're all together.
Lano:Two weeks in a row starting a streak.
Rick:Yeah.
Mig:Starting a streak, I know that's two in a row, we win one more and it's called a streak. Yeah, where's that from?
Lano:It's Major League man. Yeah man, oh, I didn't get it, I didn't know it, of course you didn't know it, you haven't seen.
Speaker 2:No movies, dude, yeah, dude, you don't watch anything. Oh, talking about movies, you know how we give reviews to old movies.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's not really that old, but you said you liked it. The Gladiator 2. Have you seen it, Lionel?
Lano:I saw it on the plane.
Speaker 2:I. Gladiator 2. Have you seen it, lalo? Um, I saw it on the plane. I fell asleep and then I kind of rewatched On the way back there. I didn't see the end of it. I fell asleep. I saw most of it, mm-hmm. So I guess you didn't like it. We could yeah, I could do without it.
Lano:Oh, really Like. Do you know what part you fell asleep?
Speaker 2:with it was, it was.
Lano:The twins.
Speaker 2:Or one of them. No, they killed. No, I haven't gotten to that part, but thanks for the spoiler. They killed. What's his name? The one that was Lucius's mom? Yeah, just killed him in the.
Lano:Oh, pasquale, pedro, Pasquale right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh yeah. My gripe is like From the very beginning, this dude Hano, like of course he's Lucius, whatever, right, yeah, but you already know he was, you know, messing around with the chickens and they show his wife, it's like okay, so there's the love story there. Of course she's going to die and you know someone's going to kill her or something Like that was fucking predictable.
Lano:Oh yeah, like the first battle right.
Speaker 2:That's just predictable already. Like oh, his love life, Of course she's going to get killed and, yep, she gets killed.
Lano:Like on some boat or something they're attacking.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you know what? That dude's weak though man, that dude's weak though man, that dude I don't know that character.
Lano:He's a weak fool, or. I don't know who he is. He's a weak fool.
Speaker 2:Like I don't know that whole character Is like, and then they, they try to make it Too much, like Like Gladiator, like, yeah, his.
Lano:The fighting scenes Were Like Pretty whack, I guess, like the throwing the dirt and all that stuff. Yeah, he picks up the dirt the same like his dad. You know that's the son right.
Mig:The only one part that I thought was ridiculous Is, um, when they fill up the stadium with water, I mean come on. Yeah, I thought they Jumped a shark right there. Man, like what kind of?
Speaker 2:stupid shit is that. How are you importing sharks In the damn stadium? Where are you getting all that water?
Mig:damn stadium where we can get all that water from they would have to be huge tanks.
Speaker 2:They have it just just in time for the third fourth day of battle or whatever, and they build these ships. That was so stupid. That was so stupid that right there that that was, I don't know so I thought it was entertaining.
Lano:No, it was a cash grab. They didn't need to do a movie too no, they nah.
Mig:They could have left it alone, but even with denzel.
Lano:You didn't like denzel's role or?
Mig:you know what? Not really, dude.
Speaker 2:I didn't like, no, I didn't like the part that denzel played trying to make it seem like the same, like the other dude oh um a slave buyer. Oh, you know, I know something special about you where there was nothing special about him. No, yeah, I mean, there was nothing special about him that first, that first whack-ass battle with the monkeys. He bites the monkey's arm. It's like why didn't what? Like when he's biting the monkey's arm, why didn't the monkey, you know, bite them, the monkeys?
Mig:like it's stupid yeah, to me like Denzel he.
Speaker 2:Just that was stupid the the the hand to hand combat that private little fight they had with the against the emperors at the party, yeah, where they had a little arrangement, where you know, denzel brought his fighter and the other queer brought his fighter. Oh, yeah, yeah and they had that little private, little boxing match. Then the twin gets up all like, oh, amazing, amazing, whatever, there's nothing amazing about that crap, it was like dude. And then two, the twins, two emperors. That's so bullshit.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like one, the stronger, one's going to kill the other one because that one's going to want to be the ruler.
Mig:Yeah, I thought they could have done without those twins.
Speaker 2:Dude, I don't know, I know why they're there to piss you off as characters, but being that there's two of them, no way there's going to be two ruling yeah, so that's not accurate.
Lano:There's two of them. No way there's gonna be two ruling, yeah, so that's not accurate.
Speaker 2:I mean, I don't know my roman history, but there was no. It's not to not to be accurate, but just with the how, how. Back then medieval times, there was so much, you know, greed for power.
Rick:It's like two twins are not gonna yeah, are not gonna want to share power, yeah it's like that's stupid man.
Lano:I don't know all the fighting right, I gotta, I gotta see the first one to compare.
Rick:But I mean, I fell asleep on the plane too. I mean, it doesn't sleep on the plane?
Speaker 6:also watching it there is a gladiator original, the only part.
Speaker 2:Well, I still have seen the end of it. But the only part I liked is the beginning credits, when they showed the cartoon highlights of the first movie. That's the only thing I liked is that the same?
Lano:was it the same girl, the same actress, or a different?
Rick:the mom yeah the mom was the same actress.
Lano:Yeah, and and that happened in the first one, where the boy like they sent them off or no, or that happened off camera and they added that to the second one no, they don't. They don't even show anything like that they don't talk about a boy or son or nothing.
Speaker 2:They don't go into it and then, and then they kind of messed up because they show the, the boy, wherever I guess he he was at, where he was hiding out at yeah it's like he looked younger than Lucius was in the first movie.
Speaker 5:Yeah, Like the hell.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was stupid. It was a stupid movie and I haven't finished Watching the end of it, but I really doubt Whatever last little bit that I have is Worth it, well worth it or gonna redeem the whole Thing to it.
Lano:It's, it's yeah, I could do without it well, um well, I don't know where you're at today, but weather-wise, sunny california, we had some hail thunderstorms today and for about couple hours and that was it. Huh, yeah, a couple hours like an hour.
Speaker 2:It was like an hour an hour I got caught in me, I had to go out and On the way here. I got caught. I got caught behind I don't know what you call it All the cops for that Ballin Park police officer.
Lano:Oh yeah, they had like a ceremony.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was just like I don't know where they were going. I don't know where they were going, where exactly they were going, but it started right there, right down the street. And right when I left the house and I was crossing the 7-Eleven, Pacific and Puente, they started all the line of cars, All the cop cars were coming in and the cops, the motorcycles, blocking traffic and they jumped on the freeway all the way up until I guess they went down the 10th, the 10th probably going to city hall.
Mig:That's crazy. They still don't know why that dude just started popping off rounds.
Speaker 2:Huh yeah, it was some asian dude was that that's asian. Yeah, is that pretty close to you or no, yeah it's, yeah, it's not too far from like a couple blocks or yeah.
Speaker 2:That that happened right when I left to. I left Camping To Lido Creek but I was supposed to, we were supposed to leave Friday, but I had to work Friday night and I didn't. I didn't leave, I didn't get Started heading over to like Probably like one To one afternoon on Saturday and then so, yeah, I think that happened like around 11, 11 or 12, that shooting, yeah, and that dude I don't know if it was an ak or what- what kind of rifle these hills and they are, these hills a long rifle well, he killed somebody, right he killed this uh someone on this pedestrian and then the
Mig:cop, because there was there was a family having some kind of party there and the guy that got shot and killed he had just parked his car and was walking to that event. Oh, that's why they're kind of saying that it was over a parking space.
Lano:Oh, was that the ring camera footage, the one where they show, because they show what it was like, blurred out Like he was like? No, I don't know.
Mig:I don't know, but you know, I mean, it wouldn't surprise me, dude, because in Alhambra, you know, my sister had some crazy neighbors, that yeah. He didn't even have a car or anything, but he didn't like when you parked in front of his house. Yeah some, some people get like that. And he would if you would park in front of his house, he would come out, get his holes and start waiting your car Just because you're parked in front of his house.
Mig:Yeah, or turn on the sprinklers or turn on the sprinklers or something you know. So that wouldn't surprise me. Dude, this guy Was Asian.
Speaker 2:Went off like that. Asians are serious.
Mig:Went nutty dude.
Speaker 2:They're serious. About their, their thingamajig.
Rick:No the.
Lano:The city halls Next to the train station. Is that police station Nearby too, or is that it?

Speaker 2:Hey, how do you guys feel about the the penny being discontinued?
Lano:Or about to be discontinued. I mean, I'm kind of I don't carry cash on me so it doesn't bother me, but I mean, that's what I was going to say.
Mig:It doesn't really matter.
Lano:But my wife says, like in the Philippines they did that and like, so they ran everything up, like to whatever 95 or yeah, you think so. That's going to happen over here, where they just round up.
Mig:But with everything being Electronic. Now. I mean, that's what they're pushing towards, they want everything to be, but you saw why.
Lano:You saw why I think it costs more to yeah To make it. I think it. Oh, that's right. I think it costs like.
Speaker 2:Three or four cents To make one penny. Yeah, so the homie Trump's like Nah Not.
Lano:Pointless.
Speaker 2:And the nickel could be in danger If that thing keeps going up too. The dime is fine, yeah, cause I think it takes like six cents to make a dime. So that's still fine, but I don't know, I don't know how I feel about that why are you gonna? Like start hoarding them, carrying them or I mean have a little bit, but it's gonna be. I know that they're like A dirty coin, like I don't know why they're like, they just seem dirty.
Lano:Well, they're not like Solid copper right, they're depleted.
Mig:Nah, they haven't been Solid copper in a long time.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I mean I don't know Like, since I kid you know you're, I'm indifferent you have. You mean Saving pennies.
Lano:I don't think my girls Are gonna have you mean saving pennies.
Speaker 2:I don't think my girls are going to know about cash when they grow up Saving pennies, it's like it's just bullshit, man.
Lano:I talk to people with kids that work Now they're going to get rid of the pennies.
Speaker 2:Then they try telling me that Pluto wasn't a planet. And then it's like I find out, saturn's rings aren't really colorful, they're just stem.
Lano:They're not. They're not, bro. Yeah, it's like white rocks or whatever, it's just.
Mig:It's rocks orbiting in gases, man they're not colorful, it's like.
Lano:Have you seen Saturn like in a telescope?
Speaker 2:Yeah, or just like in movies and books Manny's telescope that's how I saw it. Oh, I haven't seen it I saw it on Manny's telescope. I'm like hey dude.
Mig:Those rings aren't fucking colorful. No well, any color you see Is a deflection of light From, depending on when You're seeing it, from the angle.
Lano:Cause I saw Like there was a video Like one of the News helicopters. Like you know, they have their Cameras and then they pointed it at saturn and they're able to pick up the rings, like with the zoom. So I was like, oh that's pretty, it's crazy.
Speaker 2:Huh, oh shit is I saw. I saw this one thing on youtube, this, um, like it's crazy, this this you ever catch? You ever see these little short videos of mathematic hacks?
Lano:yeah, like the asian styles where they start like crosses.
Speaker 2:And yeah, they were showing like a number, um so like 99 times 5 or like 44 times 3, you like times the first and the third number and then you put like their leftover number in the middle and that's the.
Speaker 5:That's the answer huh, no, yeah, no, I'll see a lot of that. They do like some, but like their leftover number in the middle.
Lano:And that's the answer. Huh, no, yeah, no, I'll see a lot of that. They do like some tickets. It's crazy.
Speaker 2:Like how the hell? And I was like no way, and I was trying it with other numbers, and I think it's only when the numbers what do they call that Like 33, 44, 55? Prime, those are prime numbers.
Mig:Prime when they're only divisible by themselves or by one.
Rick:Yeah, so it doesn't work out.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that's right, um, yeah, so 33, you could divide that by 3 32 yeah. Oh 44, not a prime number.
Mig:Prime numbers would be like 1, 5, 7, 19, 19, 1, 5, 7, 19, but yeah, but I think 19, 19, 157, 19 but yeah, but I think, is that what they call the new math?
Lano:because I heard there's like a new math, like it's not the way I don't know, but it's crazy how everything was working.
Speaker 2:I was like how the hell does that happen, like. But like some videos are like going crazy, like this number with this number like man. But then, like some videos are like going crazy, like this number with this number Like man, it's just better to do the whole damn math problem Like figure it out.
Lano:But I'll see where they had like they'll have one girl doing the way we taught.
Speaker 2:Add the first two numbers carry their next number.
Lano:And then the second girl doing the way the new way and it's like faster.
Rick:Yeah, what about?
Lano:those ones where it's a circle and they have a dots and you have to like draw a line and then they can't cross over the line, or something like that. You have to like touch the other dot.
Speaker 2:Oh so it's that's like a puzzle, right, yeah, you ever do that one.
Lano:You ever figure it out. No, I never click on it.
Speaker 2:But no, I feel like those puzzles. There's some people that make puzzles that are just you can't figure out, but they just want to break your brain. Because I saw this one thing that was like made out of wood and it's like, uh, it had slide them, it looked, it was like an e, it was like e, right, but it had four, four lines and it was all like that right, and they had a wood. They had a hole through three of them and a bolt through it. So three slots, three pieces of wood that were drilled and they had a bolt in it. And then the other part was on top where you couldn't just slide it out.
Rick:Yeah, how do you get it out? I think, that's bullshit.
Speaker 2:There's no way of getting that out. They're trying to say it's like a solid piece of wood where you can kind of see the way they made it.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's like it's.
Mig:there's a piece that yeah, because then they say well, how'd they get it in? Yeah, how'd they get it in yeah.
Speaker 2:So I say, like stuff like that, I go it's bullshit.
Mig:They just do puzzles, puzzles like that to break people's brains like yeah, there's gotta be a way, like someone that gets all obsessed with yeah and there's no solving it. There's no, it's like it. Uh, it's like that scene in uh mall rats. You remember that movie mall rats? Yeah, kimmy smith yeah that one fool is looking at that picture. There's supposed to be a sailboat like hidden. It's like it's a picture like all kinds of random shapes and everything.
Lano:Those magic eye ones, yeah, and then they become 3D.
Mig:And then the dude's like staring at it, staring at the whole movie, and everybody that walks by is like, oh, a sailboat. And he's like where is it?
Rick:Yeah, I remember he's like he's going crazy because he can't see it, you remember when those were big in the mall In the 80s?
Lano:Were you able to see one of those? Nah, you have to get your eyes kind of blurry or cross eyed and then it pops out like 3D, like a mannequin or something like a block. That was a puzzle. Yeah, it was like computer generated but it was called Magic Eye. They would have them at the mall and stuff that one right there look at it Right in the middle, this one Right in the middle or January, but it was called Magic Eye.
Speaker 2:They would have them at the mall and stuff that one right there. Look at it Right in the middle.
Lano:This one, right in the middle, a wood screw puzzle. Oh, oh, that one's it right there. Let's see this one. They have a video.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're full of shit. You can't get that boat out. There's no way of getting that boat out without breaking that shit. But you see, you can tell that those are different. Those are different pieces of wood.
Lano:That are glued on the top.
Speaker 2:The top one is glued, the top one has the joint so that guy's saying like I have no idea of how to get it out. Then he said he tried shaking it, see if it'll no, that's not gonna work.
Rick:I don't know there's no way of getting that thing out nah well, that's what he said.
Speaker 2:He tried to see.
Lano:The force went out so it's, it's uh for the audio listener. It's like a, an e, like a double e, with the screw in the middle. Yeah, and it's out in the wings, but yeah you can only tell right there all the greens are different man, that's not even a good one, huh like a good copy they should have done a better job matching up the greens and to make it uh yeah we're in the believable, but I
Speaker 2:don't know, and then I tried looking for a video that shows someone trying to take it off. Yeah, you know what? I wonder if it's. I don't see a lot of videos where they show how magic tricks are, like the good magic tricks.
Lano:Yeah, I wonder if, like, youtube is forbidden On showing the no, I was watching One of like special effects, like the old Charlie.
Speaker 2:Chaplin movie, like the old Charlie Chaplin tricks or whatever.
Lano:And it's very.
Speaker 2:Like they didn't. There wasn't a video Solving that one.
Mig:Well, it's probably the dudes themselves. They're not going to show how to do them.
Speaker 2:Magicians are so secretive, tight-nipped yeah.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Mig:Well, because then that's the thing too. It's like some might call themselves magicians, some might call themselves illusionists. You know, they don't want to give away their secrets.
Speaker 2:That makes sense. You know, Flip a coin and make it disappear, or flip a coin and make something.
Lano:Yeah, I think I was watching.
Speaker 2:You guys ever, you guys ever see A coin With like red paint on it? You guys ever see that?
Mig:Red paint.
Speaker 2:A coin.
Lano:Yeah, never seen the red paint like nail polish or what yeah, just like, try to like scratch the paint or whatever what does it mean? Or?
Speaker 2:maybe any paint was supposed to say they said. They said that that was, uh, considered as a house coin that, um, like bar owners that had jukeboxes oh. When no one was putting money In the jukebox. There are coins when they would paint A coin, yeah, and they would put they would Play music. So then whenever they came, whoever came to collect.
Mig:The money Back to the bar.
Speaker 2:Yeah, whatever painted they gave back to the bar. That was the house coin Makes sense, so you ever get one. That's probably from Probably old so yeah. Pretty stupid fact.
Lano:I was watching this video. They were showing like Charlie Chaplin there's some Like he's skating right, that one, yeah. And then Let me see if I can make it bigger. Hey, you see, that did you and so this is supposed to be like the second floor. But yeah, you know how they did it at the restaurant so that.
Lano:So this was like floor, but it's painted. The second level was painted right here to make it look like um, like there was a floor below and then the camera's filming it like um, like there was a floor below and then the camera's filming it.
Speaker 2:Oh, so to me like that's kind of cool, hey have you been at that restaurant that's on his old house?
Lano:no, I, I mean, I've seen his old studio over there, like in los feliz area. Is that what you're talking about? No, and then uh downtown la no, his house, no no, downtown LA no His house.
Speaker 2:No, uh-oh, oh, that's crazy.
Lano:So then the camera's right there in the bottom shooting.
Speaker 2:I see what you're talking about. Wow, that's wild.
Mig:But that's like true special effects. Yeah, that's camera tricks.
Lano:Yeah, camera tricks, I mean that's so. Then when he's doing the movie, you think he's going to fall off and he's like skating around. Oh, that's good, but even like Pretty good, like to come up with that like that's pretty, like cool.
Mig:Better than all the CGI crap they're doing today.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's more legit right there.
Mig:Give him more props for that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, that was pretty cool.
Lano:And then this is a famous one where the guy's on like hanging from some clock, but then he's on a different um, so he's hanging. This is like, I guess, a famous movie. Are you showing that? You're gonna be able to show that? Yeah, I think he's recording so. So he's up on a building, like with a mattress, the camera's up on that, that deck, but then the way the angle they put it, it looks like he's above, like the downtown. I feel like this is the stuff they gotta go back to tricky.
Lano:Tricky I mean low budget films, yeah, and then they show. But see, it was low budget so it made them think outside the box.
Mig:All they need to go back to is the car chase scenes. Go back to real car chase scenes. Real stunts, right, yeah, real car wrecks.
Speaker 2:That's what they need to go back to. Yeah, you know what? I wonder what's happened with uh stunt drivers if they've been out of work for I think so for years? Huh, it's really really what?
Mig:what stunts are there?
Lano:everything's all cgi now yeah, everything's drawn or painted.
Mig:It's like artists unless you're like in a tarantino film or robert rodriguez or some shit. You know they're the only ones that are staying true yeah you know um we got some phone calls.
Lano:Should we get to them?
Speaker 2:Yeah, fuck yeah.
Lano:Let's do it, let me see, but first what's that number?

Speaker 2:I don't know, not looking up or what, no, just look, I don't know.
Lano:Not looking up or what? No, just look. I don't know if you're doing it intentional, but like when I was watching on YouTube, it looked like Like you're looking at us In the audience.

Speaker 2:That was pretty good. You know that that inspired me, bueno.
Speaker 6:I'm over here Listening to the first Drifted on a Royal In a couple of weeks and already A bunch of BS is spilling out of Migs mouth. I'll tell you all the listeners right now. Let me tell you guys, Meg works at auto zone lawnmowers on the weekends and he's reading all this stuff and chat GPT. He don't even know what he's talking about, so let me just put you guys on on blast. All right, Meg don't know what he's talking about. He's a mechanic or something. He's not. Guy never turned a wrench in his life. I want you guys to know. All right, later, Just got to keep it real, dang Mark.
Mig:Called you out Just because you pretend to be some kind of supervisor, manager, job site big shot dude, when really all you do is, uh, clean out the porta potties don't hate on me, dude, you can't win. Yeah, you can't. You know, don't. Don't. Don't hate, dude, because I got my own business and I've been running it for over 30 years, you know, so just don't hate it is um?
Lano:is that mark's business? He's the boss or he has a boss?
Speaker 2:No, he works for Construction company.
Mig:He doesn't have the web or the brains To run his own shit. That's right, I said it. Now go use your cheater grill, go smoke Something.
Speaker 2:Nah he has a special love for that Weber grill, even though he has. He has a special love for that Weber girl, even though he has that Traeger girl. He, he really loves that Weber.
Lano:The old school ones, like the black, the black bubble. He loves those things. Have you guys ever used those green eggs? I hear people talking about them, but I don't know what the big deal is. I thought you were supposed To buy one.
Speaker 2:I was thinking about it, but I didn't pull the trigger Because you wanted to bake some stuff. Yeah, but he needs a robot egg.
Lano:All right, the next call.
Speaker 6:Meg, why are you wasting your time? This dude drives a Tesla, bro. He drives an electric car, drives an electric scooter and an electric bike, bro. Why do you waste your time? The guy don't care, man, You're talking way over his head, bro.
Lano:No, it was interesting I was listening to me. I don't drive diesel, but yeah.
Mig:But Mark understand I'm not talking to him. I'm talking to everybody out there in Driftland.
Speaker 2:Don't disagree. Every time he worked on his bug he had his official VW licensing mechanic, coveralls.
Mig:When he was doing his old change and everything he was on the down low gearhead back in the day.
Speaker 2:Yeah. He had a certified Volkswagen mechanic coverall suit.
Mig:That's true Before he was blowing up engines on the thug bug.
Speaker 2:He would even put it on when he was just going to put air in the tires.
Mig:It's just like, or improperly installed, stereo systems. Yeah, yeah, he didn't. He turned the screwdriver too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah you were kind of all over the place, yeah hey.
Speaker 6:So, since we're talking about people dropping out after they say they're gonna do so many albums or whatever, okay, specifically, we're talking about too short and how he should have stopped at 10. Okay, now, what do you guys think about directors? And I'm calling out Quentin Tarantino, because he said he was going to do, I think, eight movies and that was it. He's done.
Speaker 6:So if you search, on YouTube you'll see questions come up. They ask him hey, are you done? Are you done? So I don't know. Do you think he should also bow after he says eight?
Lano:What are you guys' thoughts on that? If he says eight, I think you gotta stop at eight.
Mig:Did he do eight already? I don't know which one would be number eight.
Lano:I thought he did. I remember they were talking about it when this came out.
Mig:Did he do that before or after? Inglourious Bastards, that was after After. Yeah, I want the last one.
Speaker 2:Did he do that before after inglorious bastards.
Mig:That was after after yeah, I want to say after because, I want to say that once that once upon a time in hollywood dude I. I didn't really dig that one all that much you know what I'm gonna say.
Lano:I'm gonna say yes what he's directed.
Mig:Nine movies okay, so Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was his ninth, so it says so number eight was probably.
Lano:The Hateful Eight, and then he says he's gonna do a total of ten. Oh man.
Speaker 2:The Hateful Eight was his eighth movie.
Lano:Yeah, I mean, let me see.
Mig:I think if he would've Cause actually If he would've stopped that in Glorious Bastards it would have been perfect, because the way that movie ended Made it seem like that was his mic drop, if you remember the ending.
Speaker 2:So my input on directors I say yes because I think Directors yes, you should stop at 10. It's hard to keep with the times because they have their mindset on how they like to make movies yeah because, like tarantino style, a movie I don't think would hit today with the newer generations their attention span is way too small. Yeah, I mean they want just like two minute songs. Yeah, so it's just.
Mig:That's why even like there's no way they could follow his dialogue and and understand, you know, character development, and yeah, it's, it's.
Speaker 2:I don't know it's so. Who knows what the hell this generation likes.
Lano:Well, according to Um IB, um DB, uh, it says. Well. According to IBDB, it says Torrentino has announced that his 10th and final film will be titled the Movie Critic. Oh, so that one hasn't been released yet, right, it's coming out, no, so he is keeping well, so far, keeping to his promise that that will be his 10th and final film.
Speaker 2:Okay, so Mark was in, is was.
Lano:Yeah, so.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I'm telling you of all of his movies.
Mig:I'm telling you of all of his movies. My least favorite has to be that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Lano:That one I just, I don't know I mean, well, wait a minute, because I'm counting 10 movies here.
Speaker 2:I don't think he said 8.
Lano:I, I mean, I'm counting 10 movies here. I'm counting 10 here. Are they saying Kill Bill is like one movie Because it's volume 1 and 2?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's gotta be one.
Lano:So there's a loophole. I guess 10 stories. So Hateful Eight would be number 8, and then this would be number 9.
Mig:Yeah, you see, all of those are great dude, all up until Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Lano:And then Reservoir Dogs. I like it. It's Highland Park, right, they filmed the whole movie in Highland Park and Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction was a little bit in.
Rick:Oh, dude Inglourious.
Lano:Basterds is old dude, 2009. I know fiction was a little bit in.
Speaker 2:oh dude inglorious bastard is old dude. 2009, I know. Wow, 2000, jango and tain, hateful eight way back then then one more dude. It's gonna come up already on 20 years well, look at so.
Lano:He's been doing it since, well, 92. So if there's no one, it'll be like 30 years of making movies, which is a career, that's one. It'll be like 30 years of making movies, which is a career. That's when I graduated high school, 30 years of making um yeah.
Speaker 2:But I say directors, yeah, they probably should, because just because of times they, their style of movie, will only hit for what their current um era is feeling, you know yeah that's. That's if even they're the way you, because directors have their style of making a movie and their style might not even line up with the era of time. Yeah, so then they never even see the light of day. But that's true.
Mig:You know the right time, right place for like I mean especially, especially with him because style of making, movie making yeah, but especially with him because not only his um love of dialogue and character development and everything yeah but his use of language.
Mig:I mean, it's no secret that he loves using the n-word, you know oh, yeah, yeah I have no problem Saying the n-word, but I mean, people out there Might have a problem Hearing it, so I'm not gonna say it For the sake of Whoever has Delicate ears out there, you know. But for me, you know, the words have Whatever power you put behind them. And I could say Whatever Willy nilly, you know, because to me I put no power behind it, but whatever. But, um, yeah, I, I don't know if he's gonna make one more called the film critic. You know, I don't know what it's gonna be about. Right, let me like a different way.
Speaker 2:But the question was do you think directors should stop before they're they jump the shark I mean, I think it all depends.
Mig:Yeah, I mean, he specifically said Tarantino.
Speaker 2:So that was an example. That was an example. So you're saying yes because you say you don't like Once Upon a Time in Mexico, so that could probably already be no.
Mig:Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Speaker 2:I know, once Upon a Time in Mexico, once Upon a Time in Hollywood, you see. Cause upon a time in Mexico, once upon a time in Hollywood, you see cause okay.
Mig:So then say you get someone like James Cameron.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Mig:Made Terminator, made Titanic, made those pieces of crap, avatar, avatar. You know he could keep making crap like that. So he could keep on making that garbage all he wants. It's gonna be summer blockbusters, and he could just keep on going.
Lano:But he didn't say I'm only going to make, like whatever, this number of movies or blah, blah, blah.
Mig:Mark didn't say anything about that I don't think so. We're just talking about a cutoff of what?
Speaker 2:directors? I don't think so. I think Avatar was, I think, right time, right time of.
Lano:I think one more is coming out, or two more are coming out still, I think.
Speaker 2:I doubt it'll be that popular for the newer generation. I don't know because, um, because it's like, uh say, a director likes his style of maybe zombie like movies, like that's already like played out, like it's already over.
Mig:So just that idea, that kind of but I mean Like someone like James Cameron, he has range Cause he's done like a spectrum Of different.
Lano:Yeah.
Mig:You know, he's done like the action blockbusters and he's done like the romantic ones, the Titanic, yeah.
Speaker 2:You know so he kinda has range, but if, but, if that passion's Already out and he's just gonna make it Just because he's James Cameron, he should just quit but he's like at the point where he's made all the money he's made.
Lano:So he just makes like whatever he's got his own damn submersible.
Speaker 2:He's going down well, titanic, I mean that that's in his own deep, deep sea that.
Mig:That's what I'm saying. You know, is that we're talking about? Should they have a finite number of movies they should make or not? You know, it's like okay.
Speaker 2:So like george lucas, what else would he be able to make besides the star wars movies like there's nothing? Well, he did so he's already bowed out he doesn't make anything so like george lucas, is a good is a good example of like okay, if you're.
Mig:If you're a one-trick pony, then yeah I'm done.
Speaker 2:You know that's it but that's what.
Mig:That's what I'm saying if you're not spielberg, if you're not a one trick pony how about spielberg? I think spielberg could find different, different ways, because spielberg's another one that has a lot of range. Don't forget he did a schindler's list yeah, he's so he's been able to do dramatic. You know he, so he has range also.
Speaker 2:I would say, there's probably the exception, there's exceptions, but majority, yeah, majority.
Mig:I think a lot, a lot of these directors are like one-trick ponies adam sanders adam sanders is a director, producer, producer, I think he's more producer.
Lano:Yeah, he has like a production company, production company. You guys know how Gilmore's coming out Like next month, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think that's gonna be Good. I'm hoping it's good.
Mig:I told Lano about it, but did you see that Naked Gun trailer?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I heard you guys Talking about it.
Lano:Did you watch it?
Speaker 2:That's a big negative, big negative.
Mig:Did you see the trailer?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Mig:I've seen it. I've seen it before, before you even talked about it.
Speaker 2:You know who told me about it, shane, okay, and Cause, cause I don't know who was talking to him About those Slaps, slaps, yeah, comedies, and, and we were. We saw the first Nike gun and the second one, cause he wanted to see those, because he wanted to see Airplane and yeah, I showed him Hot shots. And all those right. And then I told him Nah, once he told me About that shit, I was like and then, and then Liam is like he's not. He's not like that kind of Fucking actor Like.
Lano:No.
Speaker 2:I don't, I can't see him like that. I was like no, I don't, I can't see him like that.
Mig:I was like no, that's, that's to me one movie that should not have been what I'm, what I'm telling lano to me was like the.
Mig:The biggest turnoff in that trailer is the little girl coming and then he takes off the mask and it's still the body of the little girl and his big freaking head, you know, and it's like it's him and then all of a sudden he turns into the big man. I'm like dude. It's like if the movie is anything like that, where he's doing shit like that, and I I mean I'm surprised that he even it's gonna be agreed to do that I could. I could see where he might have some comedic chops and not.
Speaker 2:Not for that style of comedy, not for that style.
Mig:I could see it. I could see it. It would be surprising.
Speaker 2:I could see it, though no not, even not for that type of comedy.
Mig:You can't, you can't, not, not, you can't not exactly spin off of that, no, not exactly like like leslie nielsen, but I could see him Doing something Like funny, like comedic, you know, it was like in his serious way, but with funny shit happening around them.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Mig:But him still like kind of like being serious but like all kinds of funny crap happening around them.
Speaker 2:I could see that People watch Snake and Gun, and you see if that movie should have been touched with a spinoff watch one, two or three they're all funny, they're all funny, so doesn't matter.
Lano:Oh, okay, but I wonder if they're gonna tone down the joke. Hey, because they got away with a lot of jokes I don't know if they can get away with now. Yeah, okay, hot shots.
Speaker 2:Hot shots In your opinion?
Rick:Awesome.
Lano:Which one? Yeah, yeah, but Charlie Sheen can pull it off.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, charlie Sheen, he can really pull it off, yeah. Okay, in your opinion.
Mig:Don't ask me which one I like more.
Speaker 2:Which one's better? Oh dude.
Lano:Which one's better. Don't ask me that that part one or part two or what. Yeah, it's kind of a blur. I have to re-watch them because I don't know which one's which. I don't have to re-watch them. Do you watch?
Mig:them for for me for me that's like asking who's your favorite kid for me, for me.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna tell the kid part two, part, does I? Mean I believe part two dude, because because after, after re-watching the hot shots, he's rambling After that first one, you start thinking like, oh, when is this going to happen?
Mig:It's like oh no, that's in part duh. And then, after all the fighting and everything, he finds that stupid mole on the floor yeah, dude, and he puts it in his little purse, yeah, it's just part duh.
Speaker 2:Oh man, Mr Bean is in it.
Mig:It's yeah, he runs out of arrows and uses a chicken. That's the one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the one movie that I think the sequel outdid the.
Lano:I don't know. My wife's seen it, maybe the first one. Maybe the kids will like it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's just more funny. They really hit their damn their zone in part the you know, it's like the whole damn fighting. You know what?
Mig:I've been watching a lot that's been coming out a lot lately on IFC men at work oh yeah that shit's funny.
Speaker 2:Men at.
Mig:Work, that's another one.
Speaker 2:Charlie Sheen, that was a good one, that one's good. You know another one, you remember. We gotta add it to the list. Yeah, stakeout, stakeout, stakeout. That was with Emilio Estevez and Dreyfus, richard Dreyfus, yeah. Stakeout was good. Not as funny as the other ones no, but it's just a good. It was one of those good solid 80s movies, yeah, like with 48 Hours, and 48 Hours Was the one with Red, with Arnold Schwarzenegger, when he's a Russian guy. Raw Deal, raw Deal.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Red something.
Lano:Red. Don no, no.
Mig:Raw deal? No, it's not raw deal. He's with Jim Belushi, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:It's red something. No, no, raw deal. Look it up Lano Raw deal. I think it's red something.
Lano:Red, the 86 one right on a fortune. You're in jim belushi, oh damn you're right.
Speaker 2:I don't know why I had red, red, something in the is it?
Lano:no?
Speaker 2:no, this one doesn't have james belushi no, you see red uh, red uh, kingpin red um let me go to um swartz, nigger red red I thought for sure it was rod deal no, it has red in it, red, so not red sonja. No, red sonja is good red Red Heat.
Speaker 5:Oh, red Heat.
Speaker 2:Red. Heat, see, I know it had red in it. Red Heat, that's a good one too.
Mig:Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2:Calls him like A big old Gumby Cause he's In a green suit.
Lano:You guys think Schwarzenegger pulls off comedy? Yeah.
Speaker 2:Twins man.
Lano:He does. Okay, that's what I was asking.
Rick:It's not the tumor.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hell yeah. Before he came, he came with a scumbag.
Mig:You know right, right now that we're on, we're on Hollywood.
Lano:That's what I was gonna try to do.
Mig:No, but not what you're thinking, lano.
Lano:Okay.
Mig:I've been A lot of thought in this, like the past couple weeks, only because I've been watching a lot, like you know. They've been watching a lot, like you know, they've been passing a lot, um, they've been passing the Godfather a lot. You know Bronx tale and I started thinking, you know it's like cause they're always talking about, um, like these best actors, what to you, what, what, like? What criteria for you does an actor have to possess to be like a great actor?
Speaker 2:What do they have to possess?
Mig:Well, I mean because the thing is it's like in different movies, because to me it's like Like range, or what are you talking about? Like range exactly it's like, and Like range, or what are you talking about? Like range exactly. Cause to me and it has nothing to do with his views or nothing or anything I've always thought this and, believe me, I love his older stuff.
Lano:Tom Hanks.
Mig:Like De Niro, he's the same Freaking person, character, everything.
Lano:Every movie Marky Mark's the same Fucking character Tom Hanks is a great actor Like Everything.
Mig:Every movie Marky Mark's the same fucking character. Tom Hanks is a great actor. Exactly, he's got you know because he could change Because his characters.
Speaker 2:His comedy, his comedy back in the day.
Mig:You know, but he could even immerse himself and make himself like a different nationality.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Mig:You know, do a different accent and everything For me Like the ultimate, ultimate, I think, brad Pitt.
Speaker 2:That was good.
Mig:That dude has changed himself so much since even the beginning of his career.
Lano:I feel like he always says try to play cool guy.
Rick:No, dude no no, no no, If you think about it go all the way back to true romance. Yeah, when he was just a freaking stoner junkie, when he was just a stoner on the on the sofa yeah I thought it was his first thomas louise or no, or is that's after?
Speaker 2:thomas. It was like a running those before it was he was really young. It was like a running.
Mig:And then, like he does one, like he does his serious stuff, and a river runs through it.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Mig:You know. But then he comes through and does something so offbeat and so way out there, like Snatch, snatch. You know, then he'll come back and he'll do something like Fight Club. True, like the witty, you know, and then He'll come back and you know he'll, he'll do the wittiness of In Ocean's Eleven. Ocean's Eleven. Uh huh, you know, so he does. He gets that character down.
Lano:Well, tamal Luis, he did like a lot of movies. Wow, yeah, you know I mean, and then you know, so he gets that character down. Well, tama and Louise, he did like a lot of movies before that one. You know what I mean.
Mig:And then you know like. I was saying Inglourious Bastards, right there again. Another one. Legends of the Fall. Another great character. Well, legends of the Fall. Not River Runs Through it. Legends of the Fall. That's what I meant. Well, there's. River Runs Through it also.
Lano:yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:He was one of the brothers I think True romance.
Mig:So for me, him, I think he's like one of the greatest actors out there. You know what I mean. And because, like De Niro, dude, it's like they want to say that he's like this great performer and everything it's always the same. Yeah, it's like for me, he peaked At Godfather, you know, that's where I think His best performance came in. Oh, his best. Yeah, because if you, but he peaked.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, I mean he was good and analyzed that and Well, that one, yeah.
Lano:And then, well, bronx Tale too. Bronx Tale, meet the Fuckers or no, he was good and analyze that. And well, that one, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then the bronctail too yeah, I mean, well, meet the fuckers he was, he was the same, but kind of funny yeah wag the dog.
Lano:He was good in um you ever saw that taxi driver?
Mig:and then the boxing one bulldog yes, that that, but that's what I'm talking about. And those they say that he was like I never seen the greatest performances ever and I I seen those movies, dude, and they're like, they're like.
Speaker 2:Casino. I mean, that's pretty much His character.
Mig:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That's his mobster character.
Mig:You know it's like okay, and even that Joe Pesci, joe Pesci can transform himself, dude.
Speaker 2:Yeah, to like.
Mig:Home Alone. Be different Home Alone. You know, Home Alone Be different. Home Alone, you know.
Lano:Home Alone Lethal.
Mig:Weapon? Yeah, you know, and just like. He has range dude, he's not just Like a, like a.
Speaker 2:He could be a lawyer.
Mig:Yeah, my cousin Vinny. Yeah, you know, and he's not just the same guy Over and over.
Speaker 2:You know, I mean well, I mean the obvious. I mean I mean I mean the obvious, I mean you mentioned them earlier. Denzel Washington, yeah, he could be in a funny movie. He could look at Training Day, look at man on Fire, look at the book of Eli. It's like that's Crazy range, ricochet. But even in those he's still Eli is like that's crazy range.
Mig:Ricochet is like but I mean, but even in those he's still, he's still kind of like the. It's like you see him in those but you still think like he's the same person, like he's still going to kick ass at the end or something Like Deja Vu, I mean. I'm saying like you, don't think. He's like a different person. You know, you know what.
Speaker 2:I mean. Well along with Brian Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Mig:You see, at first I didn't like him, but yeah.
Speaker 2:Leonardo's got a crazy range.
Mig:Yeah, you know, because even from Wolf of Wall Street to Departed to Titanic to Aviatorator to Catch Me If you. Can.
Lano:I think that's, I think it's him. Was he the kid in Lucas or no? No, no or um Eating Gilbert Grape or something.
Speaker 2:Eating Gilbert Grape I think I think he's done a lot more different, different uh characters than Brad Pitt, leonardo DiCaprio.
Lano:He's got more range and done more different I think it's a longer career because the red man when he's really them yeah he's done a lot, way more jangle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's done a lot different.
Mig:Well, the one you know, but that that's what I'm saying, that's what I think makes a great actor when you can like completely transform yourself and become that character and not just be like the same tough guy, but in a different movie. You know, it's like another perfect example for me. But he didn't do it enough in his career, al Pacino.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Mig:Absolutely loved him in the Godfather dude Cause like that quiet. You know just.
Lano:Are you a big Scarface fan? People love that movie, dude. I love Scarface. That was good, but people like Holded up there, I think.
Mig:Scarface is Al Pacino's One of his best performances, and people he didn't know Spanish or nothing right?
Lano:No, he didn't. But the thing is, is Al Pacino's one of his best performances? Yeah, and people will say that he didn't know Spanish or nothing, right? No, he didn't.
Mig:But the thing is, it's like he made you believe that he was that Cuban refugee. Oh, that's true, you know it's like and I see that movie over and over and over dude, and I'm amazed.
Speaker 2:I guess that's kind of you can measure. It is if the character, whatever he's trying to accomplish, with his character.
Mig:Yeah, exactly, Is it believable? Believable exactly Now. Me, though.
Speaker 2:I mean for me, don Cheadle, I mean everything he's done, don Cheadle.
