I think the main thing was not to invade your opponent and destroy all of the filthy Udin on the planet is complicated, but making a website doesn't have to be. The documentary is like Hitler, the man behind... well, you know. That's the name of the documentary!   Only the tail end, I think. Oh, nine. That means I could reuse it later. Like the far-fledged joke. That was on one of Fringy Streams and probably about a hundred people got it as a little sneak peek. Yeah, sneak peek. But one of my finest, I think. I don't think you got the recognition it deserves. It went right by, much like an arrow can. Fringy said, yeah. There was a top comment on one of the latest e-faps that said, like, I find it cute that Fringy misses sarcasm constantly. And I was like, I didn't even... is that so many does? Remember when I was saying to him, he was talking about how it was like, if World War Two was happening around him, he'd feel like it was his obligation to fight. And I just went, oh, which side? And he didn't realize that was sarcasm. Yeah, like as a joke, because he started answering it seriously. And I was like, no, no, no, I just... yeah, it was supposed to be a funny... He was like, what? Which side? Like, obviously the allies. I was like, Fringy. I thought he was going to go into a thing about, well, I mean, if I was born in Germany, or if I was born in Japan, you know, like... That's what the conversation to it did to, I think. Because I was playing golf, I think.  Hey, what's up, mate? I have to work tomorrow. It's gonna be horrible. I'll get drunk if it's tomorrow if you want. All right, fine. I'll allow it. Coward. It's okay. If you have some cheese, that's also acceptable. It doesn't have to be alcohol. Same thing really. Cheese! Some mozzarella.  Is that how that works? If you haven't yet, you just have to keep going. You're fermented, right? You just...  High five. See? Alcohol bores me. Yay! You died of a cheese overdose. Yeah, well, I guess that's all the preamble you need is an action movie. It stars Thor. Wait, am I the only person here who's seen this? Not seen it. I've not seen it. Oh my God. I have not seen this. I haven't seen it. Me and I could spoil it right now. Everyone dies in the end. Are we talking like, cosmically or...? Yeah. So of course that happens in this movie too. It's not really a spoiler, I just don't like to think about it. So that's about anything. Is everyone good to go? Fine. Already then. Of course, unnecessary delays. Okay, three, two, one, go! Netflix! The N word... I don't like how... Netflix presents is such a like, ooh, I don't know. What do we get? Look, cinematography. Foreign. Yeah. Blue house. Or is it green? I can't actually tell. I think it's super green. What a smuggy place. Yeah, they need like air-conditioners for the sky. I feel like I'm watching Gage on a 2079. Oh no, that's not good. That's not helping. There's a terrible wreck on that bridge right there. I don't think that's a wreck, that's just a diesel truck. It's a regular old diesel truck. Look, it's Thor. Oh my goodness. I don't remember Thor using a gun.  I think it's kind of dumb that we hear the bullet before it hits something. That bugs me. Well, if he has a few plasters or band-aids for Americans, he should be right, yeah?  Yeah, we call them plasters. Isn't that right, Jay? I should have never heard. I don't call them plasters. What do you call them? Elpi stickers. Elpi stickers. Make the booboo go by. Hi, I'm Chris Pratt for Squarespace. It was funny, when I first saw this movie, I was like, wait, John Wick opens with a bleeding, big character thinking about the wife that he's lost. I was like, uh... Well, now it's graded like normal. Is this Britain? Maybe he was in Britain. Yeah, but... Oh yes, I do enjoy school. You know what? School was neat in some ways, Frank. I met some cool people there. School's not all bad. I hope a manager managed to hurt. Dude, you can totally have a chance, bro. Where is this that they're all Indian and speaking English? That's probably really racist English. It says in big letters, Mumbai. Yeah. Why speak English? I don't... No, that's propaganda.  Yeah, mother... it speaks English. If you don't speak English, get out.  I don't want to be racist. I thought that was Brad Pitt for just a second. It kind of is. You're looking rough, Brad. They've just browned him up. Is that the same song from Inception? No. If it was the same song from Inception, it would be going...  Wait, you're at the club in 30... Wait, this is India. Is that 30 Imperial or 30 metric? It could be other units. 30 Indians. Is it... what's the language they speak in India? I forget. I don't want to be incorrect. English? Oh, yeah, English too, but... Is it just weird as Hindi just sound funny, like Mandarin? Bouncy-sounding languages always make me smile. What you think Mandarin sounds funny? That's offensive. I mean Cantonese objectively more so, but, you know... That's also... I'm offended. I've been double offended. That's okay. It could be that way. Do you think they speak that language in the country of Taiwan?  Did you trick me into watching a foreign film? No. This is our setup, right? If you think about it right, it's called extraction. So someone's got to get extracted from something, right?  Yep. That's kind of... That looks kind of great. I like it. I have a lot of khaki. It's a little SS. They might not have the SS hat so much, but... It's a little sus. No, I like the hat. The mustache out of the earphone. Oh, Jesus Christ! Holy fuck! Goodbye!  I knew he was a bad guy. That's what he was friendly! That's so friendly! Dude! The friendly moose douche.  Mr. Pranayna had mustache. You see, the filmmakers relied on that. They knew that we would trust the mustache. Which of these two gentlemen is going to make the better policemen? The state of Madhya Pradesh will actually pay policemen an extra 30 rupees a month to grow a mustache. They consider the policemen a better. They're better in all kinds of ways. They're less intimidating. They work better with the community. They're more respected by the public. There, they give you a certain, don't they? They knew our mustache lovers, all of us. I will do my best to keep everyone on track of what the plot is because we're probably going to talk over a lot of the talking, you know? Which is okay. I'm sure it's going to be very complicated and involved. What we're finding out here is the big mafia boss man who stuck in jail's kid was kidnapped, I believe, what we just saw.  Otherwise, bad things will happen to him. And the child friend was shot, yeah? Yeah. Nice. I hope it's okay. Yes. Well, you can survive a shot to the head if this happens. It's possible. You won't turn out super hot, but you might end up with superpowers. Well, that would be awkward if in hospital you live and you like to have superpowers now. You're like, not really. What are they saying? They're speaking colony. I don't understand what they're saying. Jesus Christ. I know. I can't believe this guy's allowed on you. What is there? Is there supposed to be subtitles? I explained it all to you anyway. You're fine. You don't need to understand anything that's happening. What's going on? Rags, you don't get to make colony jokes.  Oh. Back then. The challenge accepted. Back then.  That plane isn't going to fly. It's not aerodynamic solid. There's holes in the wings. This kid doesn't even know what's up. They said in September. It's very rude to swap languages in the middle of the conversation. You're right. That is very bad etiquette worldwide. It's it. Hey, Australia. Oh, the Kimberley. I kind of feel bad. I mean, the Kimberley. Bringy would be here, but his computer's having big issues right now, I'm afraid. You would be able to provide us a lot of fun facts about even just this shot, you know. He's fine. He's fine.  Quit swearing all the time. They say, bruh, over there.  Maybe. They make, bruh. Bringy can't confirm. Can they legally say, bruh? I don't think so. I have to pay a license. Wait, does he get to use his native accent in this? He does. Pog. That's probably the sunniest I've ever heard the phrase Pog be said. You're like, Pog. Like he's such a childhood friend.  Ironically, now it's just here to stay. I know, right? Same. Is he going to jump off the thing? No. No.  No, he was it. No, it makes sense. He was in Wonder Woman 84. This is his audition for Aquaman. Yeah. Wait, you already filmed it. You may as well use it.  I am. Because earlier you called him Chris Pratt as well. Are you doing a bit where you go through all the crisis? We've got a couple of crisis left. There's a lot of crisis in the world. Don't pretend you can tell the crisis apart, OK? Yeah, Chris Chan, Chris Pine. Same thing, right? Yeah. You're basically the same person. I was going to say, he was in Ghostbusters 2016. You've got to appreciate that. Oh, I don't have a cat. He's a dog. He's named my cat. I do. Yeah, I really like that. Yeah.  Like dog. He's teleporting around rapidly. Yeah, dog. Yeah. Woman. All right. I like it. I like it less now. The hot chic shows up at the hero's house cliche. Yeah, I'm going to have to dock a few points for that one. We've got a mission for you, retired action person. Grab my tits when you can gather the strength to do this mission. OK, well, if you say so. If it works. Drop notes, son. Arrival gangster is holding this kid in Dhaka. I guess, brother's in Dhaka. Dhaka? Is that what you said? Mm-hmm. Clock's running at 16 hours, deadline Friday noon. Proof of life is of six hours ago. Yeah, I'll take it. Keep my mind off of my family that died. This gangster. That's it? You nailed it. No, I'm as straight as the day is long, but I definitely understand why women find Australian accents very attractive. I just expect any Australian in any given time to hold a bowie hunting knife to my throat. In fairness, it could just be the, it's him. Like he's an 11 out of 10 sort of thing. That's also true. Yeah, he's like a genetic anomaly. Yeah. He's like a honey pot. He's one of those people who are just like, all right. Honey pot. Yeah, I don't know why I use honey pot. I was going to say like gold mine, but honey pot came out. Honey pot, huh? He lures out all the agos trying to get his gold. I think that it's applicable to Chris Hemsworth. Beautiful guy. I think so. I'm not saying I wouldn't stroke him. I would definitely touch his face and I would cut my skin. You're still beautiful. It is very difficult to sort of like understate how little I care about the plot. I think the plot's cool. Wait, it's a very simple plot. You could say the same thing for like taken.  I will say this one comes across a little more generic, I think. Because they're doing the things, all the tropes. It's like troubled man in his house approached for a mission to save a person. He's like going headlong into it. He's like, no, I'm out of the game. Maybe this film will have to earn its respect from you, Rags. This is our extract. Ovi Mahajan, 14 years old. What about our opposition? Amir Asif. That guy's very own Pablo Escobar. They refuse to negotiate. This is our extraction point.  How many hostiles on site? Maybe 20. I feel like he would have just been told how many hostiles there were. That's one of the things you shouldn't have to inquire about. Will there be people shooting at us? Now that you mention it, yeah, 20 of them. Also, I feel like he was given like no information and should have had way more questions than that because they just didn't tell him anything. That's what they do in these mission briefings in movies. They just do not ask enough questions. They clearly do not have all the information they want. Do you see the laundry across the street? Yep. Walk to it. Ew, he's sweating. Change your shirt, sir. Uber driver! This is how they do it. I will be your Uber, remember? Give me five stars. From now. Deca. I tell my people, they pay you.  Wow, rude. We have guns. Do you not see them? You know I'm two feet taller than all of you. Hey, that's a boy. Badass? Oh, come on. You know that he's a badass now.  He swore as well. I think he may have some sort of disregard for his own safety. Well, that's a good thing in no stage. I would argue that this character is indeed a bad boy. Don't laugh at him. That's mean. Why was he carrying around a gun? Why was he carrying around a gun with no magazine in it? He was going to threaten him with it. The audience didn't know that it was totally harmless. But Chris Pine knew because he's army man. You mean Chris Pratt? Chris Chippinall. I'm Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC. I like soft, sensual kissing. I like to make love. That's Christopher Columbus. Chris Masterson. Tell them, pay. If not, I take this.  That was a weird threat. It seems like a very roundabout way to do that. It's complicated. Put the homoerotic kidnappers. I take this, I put it in his butt. That's the end of the sentence. I put it back in. I swore it around. I believe this is what in America you call hammer time. Ouch. Oh my goodness. Why are you using a bolt action rifle? It seems like a really obsolete weapon. That's fine, don't worry about it. It's real powerful.  Get off me.  Oh, he did. This Chris is... I don't know about that. I don't know about that. Surely the point of tying him up is that he can't do that. These zip ties you see here, these are I think 150 pound test. If I was to use zip ties on someone, this is what I'd use. You have the smaller versions like this. They could use these or smaller. The thing is that it does require a lot of strength. But what you want to kind of get it real tight, essentially the technique, you need to give it all you got. That hurt, but it gets it done, right? Oh no. Oh that guy could have...  He's blocking the melee attack with his gun. Jesus.  Have you guys seen that Resident Evil animated movie where they're just doing melee combat and like riding fighting with guns? Oh my goodness. Whoa. This is machete. How strong his leg would have been to do that. He ain't skipping leg day. Damn it. Not the cup. Oh. Oh my god, this is Resident Evil. The table is the ultimate weapon. Oh.  Oh no, my nuts. Oh no, my neck. Oh, I gotta run towards him with my pistol because it's a movie. What was the distance? Yes. Let me pitch you my new action scene. I will rake you over the coals. By the way, his surname is rake in this. So yeah. There are all these guns lying around him. He tried to hit him with a brick. That'll do it. Oh no. Use your hands and move it out of the way. I think he's using his hands to stay up. Uh oh. Don't do it slowly. Oh no. That was pretty fast. I did it. I saved America.   Not loaded, I guess. The next scene, you just see the kid getting thrown out the window. Dude.  That's the rules. They already did. They already broke the rule.  Let's go. Kill more.   You can confirm that it has at least one or two bullets in it now. You can probably grab some of the ammo. More magazines, yeah. Because that magazine, when you look down you're like, okay it has at least one or two. And after that you don't know. Maybe you can tell by the weight. Maybe. If he's an expert. When it's loaded it'll be about a pound or maybe a little bit over. Wow, he doesn't have the stock on because he's badass. You know what? I think it's more badass to have a stock. Let's see how it's kind of coming together now. He's extracting this kid. Oh, it's a movie. No, it just leaves. Just leaves him in the car. I did it. The auditions for my new son will begin now. Oh. I don't get it. Why though? Is this just fetish?  Yeah, you got to spook the other kids. Keep in line.  No, one was enough apparently. This guy already broke.  So what if by accident you throw the one you need off the side? You just said that. You just threw him off the roof to what he does. Rip a rune. What are they saying? Is it anything interesting?  The boy was about to cut himself. What are you doing? It's to prove his loyalty. I suppose you would want your henchmen to have all their fingers. Maybe the movie I'm making is better than this one. I could almost guarantee that. The last golden ticket will be found.  Oh no. They did it to themselves. They'll do it to you. Took some time, but he got there. It wasn't even anything to decipher. It was just... It took a minute to be funny to me. That's all. Do you want to survive? You do exactly as I say. What? This is a dress. Just do it. Do it. Oh my God. The Chaos Gods. Blood, blood, blood, God.  Don't forget to put on the motion. What if this started like a gay romantic subplot? No. He realizes his feelings upon seeing his muscular body. No. If you raise the age of a kid, I think you could make a very interesting romantic comedy. No, it's a very poignant movie about forbidden drugs and all that. Wait, isn't this the company that did that pedophile movie? No! God! Oh, Netflix? It is. Did they make it? I wouldn't trust Netflix to do the plot of Leon. No. No. Why'd you have to be so rough?  They're prepping. They're moving to a place. The kid is probably thinking he's like, what is happening? I'm doing this for Instagram.  I saved a lot. I've confirmed the child has been born heading to the extraction point. Balls? We have a strict no-feeders policy. I mean, there were two balls. Moving in a straight line at a constant speed as people do when they walk through the wilderness. He's moving around there, you know? The computer might have just been wrong. That was one turn that was strategically sound. Yes. We've been heading to extraction for three days.  He tapped his head. I like when people do that to movies. It makes me lonely. Yeah, I mean, this is the extraction point. They get the kid to it, movie's done. I don't know what the rest of this timeline's about. We're just stalling now. Dude, Sniperman is back. That's not a good run. You need a better run. Pathetic child. No longer valuable for me to take care of this child. You're on your own, kid. Unless you pay me in install time. I think that would be a better movie if he used to abandon the child right now. We never saw him again. We just follow him back to home and drink some beers. That's the story. Yeah, he just gets a different kid that kind of looks like him. He just shows up with a replacement kid and hopes that the audience doesn't figure it out. Oh no. But the dad is so shitty that he doesn't even realize it. An engine.  I think I'm going to say bowls.  Her beautiful, bouncing baby balls. Oh, he did it. The signing of that was really funny. They just cut and then put a conga. Getting played. Uh-oh. Our boys haven't come up yet. I'm moving in for a closer look. Oh no.  Get boats on a river. This video I pre-made is starting to play. Oh no, he's not even... Oh.  That's some good tech you got there. Yeah, Jesus. It's one guy. Thor can take out one guy. Throw you a hammer. Yeah, a storm bringer.  Oh no. Damn. It's a full-on video game. You're right. Someone's going to be like, that happens in real life.  Yes, I know twigs are a thing. Twigs are only in the game. You've got Thor conditioned by your cute romance. Right. Ah. Wow, he had backup ninjas. What an interesting collection of weaponry. I have ninjas. No really good ninja if you need backup, did you? Just starting to run into the woods. Jumping over the trees. That kid's not Naruto running, and that's the problem. That's why he's so slow. Damn, are you worried about shooting the... I guess... Once the kid dead? No, he wants the kid, so you're right. That was a bit dangerous. Wow, he's taking some pretty dangerous shots towards that kid if you wanted the kid alive. Well, if you understand. I guess. Like he was just overnight there, I think. Maybe, I don't know. Oh wow, they're already back here, nice.   How is he not dead right there? Oh, he got in the car.   Cars aren't bulletproof, so if a guy's that close to you I'm like, damn, he's probably...  Yeah, I like it. I was very impressed by that shot. I kinda like it. I know what's going on. You know, it's not cutting every four seconds, so I have an idea of distance. Wow, nice. You're in the car and everything.  Yeah, this is pretty good. They're inside now, yeah. That's actually pretty great. You're being too positive right now. Remember when you had this, what it is, right?  Okay, like obviously, editor, please cut this out. I know we all hate our fans, and obviously y'all are just doing this for the money, and we don't mean any of our opinions, but you gotta be more negative. That's what people expect from us, you know? They just broke that man's property, and they didn't even say sorry. I like that. I really kinda like this angle, this camera here. Hold on. Quick trial. Take my weapon. Kill the police. I don't have anything against cops. This is just in-game. Oh, my God! Oh! Oh, the camera's outside now. Surely the other cops would be like, wait, what the fuck? Oh, wow, he knocked him all out. I hate that. Yeah, that's dog meat. Yeah. That's pretty sure. That's the noise of the spaceship crashing in, um, in Aliens of London. It's in every fucking...  I want the camera to pan over, and the kid just has a big goofy smile on his face, like he doesn't realize that there's any of this. He's having a great time. What's his arm up like he's on a roller coaster? It's a viable mode.  It'll be way easier. This thing was pretty impressive. That was actually quite good. It was still going. It's actually affected by the cockroach. I'm impressed. It's just neat because you know what's happening. Exactly, yeah, you do. That was a good... I love it when a film communicates to me the things that are happening in it. I know. It's fantastic. This is pretty great. I'm really enjoying watching this. That guy needs to take his safety off his AK, though. He's being careful. I just want to shoot a CV. Yeah, his safety's on. It is set to safe. It is set to safe. Oh, you think someone would have caught that? That's all right.  Maheem didn't have the safety off.  I gotta ruin 70 more cars. He's like, no, no, no. I have it done. Make sure I don't shoot civilian. No one will believe that, Maheem. It's called the Backwards Bangladesh Safety Manoeuvre. No one would believe that. I'm sure I'm shooting it off. This one guy with the safety on is getting so much, like, screen time. He thinks someone would have caught it. That was a little quick. I think that would they use that as a cut. Yeah, yeah. But it's very... You know, it's not obvious. They do a decent job of kind of... Yeah, we only know that because we're looking, right? Yeah, yeah. We're like really perceptive and, like, you know, we worry this episode is on. Normal people don't see that. That's what we do. We shoot every little bit of it.  Nope. He's just gonna get stabbed in the neck. I think that's what they're going for. It's to... That's the life of one of these randies.  Take a second. Love it if he was just like, what the fuck? Your safety was on.  Well, that's why the other guys after him is because they can't afford this guy.  What now?  I'm not sure. I missed that. It's not impossible, but... You're hitting me. If you get hit hard enough, I guess. But it's a... Hey, don't throw maps at me. Ow! Quick, kid. Throw your bag at him. Oh, no, you need that.  Oh. I like how we're not saying anything because this is a genuinely, like, fun scene to watch. You can't help but think about it. Is this still the same shot? Yes. Or at least... Well, yeah, that's what they want you to believe, but... Yeah, you can't see any cuts. There's some clear digital edits going on, but, like, yeah, no, it's... It's super cool, man. Yeah, I mean, I'm enjoying this.  Imagine, for the sake of accuracy, they're all using real guns and the camera man's just like... Oh, my God! Oh, my God! You get shot with one of those face masks. But you'll be out of the fight, but you'll be alive. Whoa! We... Camera man jumped, too. Yeah, look. Don't worry, I was the camera man for the Bourne movies.  I'm like, hey. This is, like, my house, dude, like... Just go in here. They want some lemonade! Man, they're all listening to music. What are you, not? Yeah, right, like, do you not listen to music? I think it's weird to even comment on that. We need to walk past so we can play some video games. Bell's like, oh, my man. Oh, this is the guy. This is the main boss. I'm how? Whoa, you... Is the kid gonna help? No, he's just standing there. Well, it's complicated. God, the camera man threw himself off that building? It's dedication to the craft! What a legend. Like, no one cares, like, no, I am. Normal day. It's gonna go homeless to music. Time out. Right, so this should be all... A lot of stabbing. Oh! Watch the old lady! JVT first. Looks like I just sprinting across the road. Like, I don't want any fun at this. Can I record this though? The knife sounds when they swing it through the air. Yeah, but it's cool. That's the noise that knives make, Braggs. Oh, Jesus! Now, all knives sound like they're brushing up against other metal. Okay, so he's fucked, right? It's the one thing I didn't want to happen. Look, JVT, we're gonna have to... We're gonna have to allow that he has a big health bar, okay? Yeah, they still haven't given up this... This camera, you know? It's still going. I don't know, I've looked away a couple of times. They might have cut then. You know, I don't trust them. They knew when you were gonna look away, Jay. And so that's when they knew to do it. They sync it a lot with blinks. They sync it with blinks. A statistical average number of blinks in certain spots. Wow! Yeah, that was a little lucky. Is it possible to get that good with the gun, Braggs? Yes, it's possible. It's more on the other guys than just sort of letting him do it? The luck isn't on him. None of them were ready? We are not so different! You and I! My peripheral vision! I will admit, it's really fun, but what the fuck, Chris? You've got a car just to drive, like... I get like an escape vehicle makes sense, but he's like, I'm gonna set this up to run right over. It's gonna be great. Yep. Is that the first joke in the film? Could be. On the chicken, maybe. On the roof before you threw him. He asked the kid, do you trust me? And the kid was like, no, and he's just like, good. I threw him. I thought I was just supposed to be like, edgy. It's a joke still, right? Or still on the same sequence. It just keeps going. No. This is just gonna be the film. I'm fine with that. See, like that was clearly a cut, right? Whenever the camera rushes, I'm always like, is that a cut? Yeah. That was the cut. That was the most conspicuous cut so far. That probably was another one. I'm okay with it. It looks cool. This is really impressive. It helps me understand what's going on here. That was so obvious. They tend to have a single shot for a movie of this. Oh, boy. One. Oh, no. Oh, no. That looks so fake. Probably because it was fake.  They didn't blow a real cartridge. No one does that anymore. They've both lost one health bar. At least. Stop that. Hey, give me a look. The guy was like, no, I needed that. I'm talking to people on it. I can either walk or talk. I need that. Accentuates my abilities to walk and talk. I feel like a lot of this film is just terminated but without the personality. Hey, give them a chance. They'll give you something. What do you think this scene is gonna be, Jay? Well, this is like... That's what I thought. That's what I thought. No.  Yeah, in case it's unclear, he hired them and then he tried to kill them all once they completed it. Mm-hmm.  That's all really happened, right? Yeah, this is based on... It's actually a kind of... This is a documentary. Yeah, this is about my life. Before I decided to start reviewing movies. You gotta leave the kid behind? No, I already left the kid behind. You're the kid, Mahler? Yes. This is my story. It was me! Did you also know it ends with a movie? There's no good job. Don't say swears.   You mean the street? Your phone. It's loud. The only chance you're getting my money is you might... No. This? I understood that. Piano. I play the piano when I'm nervous. It helps. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to carry a piano around with you. You have any carry on piano? No. He thinks it's me. It's called a keyboard, mate. I have a guitar that I keep around with me. They have batteries and everything. They're fantastic. I play the hurdy-gurdy. It's okay. It's filming to Scottish character. Just randomly? No, deliberately. I play them when I'm nervous. It makes me more nervous. He's the greatest fighter, but he has to play the bagpipes between scenes. He has to fill in the bagpipe during the fight. He's still really good. Wasn't it Fab Bastans that had the bagpipe weapon? There was a man who really did this in World War I. Something Churchill. Winston? No, not Winston Churchill. He was Prime Minister. No, he means the other Winston Churchill. Not the Prime. Everyone knows that one. Winston Churchill, too. Jack Churchill. When you compare it to Terminator, I think this is where I compare it to Terminator. Terminator 1, specifically. This feels very much like Terminator 1. Oh, yeah. This is just fully that. The villain is repaired. Got your nose, mate. Ew. Ow. Ouchie.  Thanks, Thor. By the way, it's not bad to have a scene like that. I was just interested in comparing it, okay? Yeah, J. Yeah, J. So Jack Churchill was a soldier who charged into battle in World War II with a broad sword and a set of bagpipes. He survived. Chadpipes. Chadpipes. See, the villain's very much motivated because he wants to make sure nothing bad happens to his family. It's a tough situation, you know? Hey, Chad. You just called me an a-hole? I straightened my nose for you. Don't think it'd be as ugly. But you're the bad guy. You can't love. That's okay, no thanks. I understand why you smile. No thanks. That's like that other one. Which is something I can never do. That's going to come out real weird on the other end if you kiss the microphone. I just want to respect his item just... Dad, you're peeking the microphone. Stop. Then stop. You're over-modulating the microphone. Kid, hey. Come on. Wow, sleeping on the job. Is that his van? See, he's so Australian he's just stealing cars willy-nilly all throughout the film. Uh-oh. Oh, no. The bullets threw me out. It did kind of feel that way, didn't it? It did, yeah. It's precise. I enjoyed that one.  That's great. Oh, it's the young man. Well, it's pretty tough, right? When kids are shooting at you, it's like, Jesus, what do you do? Shoot him back. I guess you kind of have to. You shouldn't have done the thing with the gun. I actually don't understand why he did that. They just want to have more scenes of him not having a gun, so he has to do different things. You think he was just hanging on to it anyway, even if he doesn't intend to shoot the children? You tried to stop us, but you only made the shot look cooler. Man. I also think that if those kids had shot instead of a doubting themselves, oh, no. Whoa. Boss, those are just kids. This is the test you will find. He does not mind punching a kid. Or crushing him under a motorcycle. Oh. They have in this case, okay. Stop with the guns. He's really lucky that most people he encounters in this world is bluffing with their weapons.  Dude again.  You have been found guilty on seven counts of child abuse. We saw it, you have no camera. Yeah, Kristen, that make you feel like a big man. Look, they had guns, okay. They had really big guns. Ew, rats and poo. Damn it, why did we have to go into one of the designated cheating streets?  They obviously swamp level. Damn it. There's a book they have to follow.  Not going to lie, them jumping into the sewer is the part of this film that felt most like a cut scene. Just call Gasper. If you were recanting this story, that's probably the part you'd leave out. All the children you beat. Nah, they were big people. I beat up 12 adults. Even if you say they have guns, people will still give you that look. They're like, oh great. They were all 70 year old jacked men. They deserve death. Hope it doesn't have any open wounds in that poop water. Hopefully his legs are okay. Take some antibiotics, you'll be fine. Look who it is, Hellboy. Someone's going to be offended that I said that. He's not the actual Hellboy, he's just new Hellboy. Hellman. It's new Hellboy that no one likes. I think people still kind of like David Harbour though. Stranger things. Yes, but I've got the hot take. He was amazing in season one and they ruined him. I would agree. Is it a cop? Whoever you do not specify what season they ruined him in. I'm not going to because people probably agree on one of the seasons but not the other. So I'll just be like, you know, that's fine. Whichever one you feel. They're going to demand the mollard cut. Just assume I hate everything, it's fine. There you go. I hate everything, that's a YouTuber. No it's not, that's a statement. That's true, statements can't be people.  Now that's a channel. That would be like saying, you know, you're going to sin everything that Cinema Sins ever did. Cinema Sins and someone's like, that's a YouTuber. That is a statement. Yeah. That'd be like really unoriginal as well.  So where are we? We are south of the city center. I told Nick that an extraction is it's not feasible. This is funny, when I first saw this movie I speculated a couple of options because they only have so many because this is an action movie and I guessed it correctly. So you've all got to guess it correctly otherwise I'm superior to you intellectually. You could be lying about you guessing it correctly. Write an excealed envelope and put the envelope in my hand. And mail it to Bangladesh. Wait Jay, are you in Bangladesh? Why? No, just mail it to Bangladesh, that's what I've decided. I gotta go, I gotta go. I gotta kiss my wife. But you stay here, rest up, and I will be back. I will be back. It's good to see you man. I'm gonna miss you. Because again, because this action movie matters, it's like oh man, he seems kind of nice. It would be a shame if he died. Like that sort of vibe. There's not even criticism, it's just because there's so little options you have when you're halfway through your action movie or the new character who's a good friend or the big character comes in.  Oh no. He'll kiss it goodbye. Nice, nice. Thank man, thank you. Do we see boobies? I would hope not. Oh. Make it rain with one finger. I'm fine with seeing people's intestines flying all over the place, but like boobies? Jesus. Nice. You can totally picture me like, why? You just see I'm eating. I'm just trying to do that. Dude, I'm having dinner, like this is weird. Oh, I think yeah, the idea here is he's preemptively cut his finger off because of his failure. It is weird that we sent you to do this and thought you'd succeed, but okay. They relied on the American not being willing to kill children. Those American dogs have no morals. Or they do, and we can use it against them. This guy's like the Indian sheriff of Nottingham. Kinda. You mean just evil? Sort of, he's got those vibes, you know. I think I speak for everyone here when I say give us another action scene. I'm less into the whole cutting fingers off thing. Did he cut his pinky off? That was a bad move. Well, if you're going to cut one of them off, you know. Ring finger. You reckon? I need that pinky. Is that legit? Yeah, absolutely. Imagine when for grabbing things that pinky is really important. Especially because the ring finger is one of the middle ones. So you can still grab things really effectively if you don't have your ring finger. I have never considered that. I've always assumed the pinky is the least important, right? You might be teaching me something today. Yeah, that pinky is really important for holding on to stuff. I guess it helps with distributing weight as well because it's at the end. You got a couple middle ones in there. So if you lose one of the middle ones, you still got other ones. Interesting. I remember actually thought about it. Yeah, I wonder what's happening in the movie.  Oh, is that macaroni? Another good reference. Is this like the other macaroni that he just said? Sometimes I wonder if your memory even outpaces mine, Rags. It's impressive. I have not yet begun to remember. I don't know why that's so funny. I don't remember what I was going to ask. What were you going to ask me? That was it. If you don't wish to speak, breathe. I'm not brave, mate. Aren't you Leon, please? Of course you are. You rescue people. Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes I do other things. Punching children. Sometimes I like to be the one who's rescued. You know, swap it up. My father. Is that so bad? Stop judging me. Sometimes I would sit with him at dinner. Look at him and think. He just kills somebody else's father that day. And I'd feel sick.  Sorry. Having a moment, Mel, no time for mac and cheese. I'm sorry. I really love Kraft mac and cheese for my weakness. I have to know my thumb used to grow more. I did have a wife. Children? Yeah, son. He died a few years ago. How did he die? I don't know. How old was he? About 6. Did you like to replace him? Kind of wealthier. I wasn't even about his height. When he died. Where were you? God, read the room. Was it painful? He recalled me. I left. Because you couldn't watch.  Yeah. I was doing so great in this scene and the kid is just like, please expose it more of your emotions to me. Please deposit more lore. No, I'm just the opposite.  Not by falling into the river. But by staying submerged in it. Thanks, Confucius. You're still mad about him? Sorry, okay. I read it in a book in school. Yeah, you know what? It was a good scene, I think. It was pretty good. I probably would have appreciated it being better than... The one thing I wasn't too much of a fan of was the kid was basically like, please explain part one of the story. What do you mean? I mean, everyone was quiet when it was happening, so I was like, honestly, the scene would just be better if he cut out half the kid's lines and then Chris decided to volunteer the information. Yeah. Cut out the kid and just have this be Chris just depositing information over a drink by himself. A dark room, I don't know if that's too grimdark. You can't have that. This is the scene where he gets shot. I was good. When I was watching it, I was like that window. I feel like a bullet hole is going to appear in the window. Yeah, we got to start our third act here, so something's going to happen.  That kid is a walking corpse. It's not very nice. Asif will never let him live. Think the disgrace.  His father's in prison. There's no way to protect him. You know what the best thing you could do? The best thing you could do, honestly, would be to go up there right now and just go put a bullet in his brain and make it painless. Because the animals out there, they're not going to be as kind to him. They like to start with the ears. Then they cut off each finger at the joint. That's your drunk. I'm talking about mercy. You know how much he's worth? Talking about a kid, yes, but... You were talking about a gangster's kid. With a price tag of $10 million on his head. All right, you need a sober up, man.   Because I am. I do not want to end it.  What are you doing? You said you were helping. I am helping you. I'll get you the border in a couple hours. It's money in your pocket. It's the best that that kid can hope for. Did you call someone? Did you call?  Got the blood of a hundred men on your... Put your hands on me! But do you know what happens to me if they find out that I'm helping you? Do you know what happens to my wife? Us as a friend. We made a deal. He gets a kid and we both get rich. What do you want from me? I just said you. I would ruin the upholstery and the drapes. When I was watching it, I was like, he's probably evil actually. That was my first guess. I'm going to save you. And again, I honestly think, story-wise, there's not many options you have. Him being evil or him getting killed is basically it. I mean, if you follow the formula of it's a one-man mission, it kind of has to resolve this. I don't think it's not a criticism. It's like a meta thing.  It would have been a hell of a twist. I think I took over. Oh, things worked out okay. Alright, well, that's the next scene then. What are we doing, man? Come on, stay down. Stay down. I can do this all day. My empty table! Coming to my house, you get thrown on my furniture. He's going to stake him. He's not a vampire. You don't know that. No, that's a twist. Have you ever seen Chris outside? I thought he was a savage. He just sounds like, no, he doesn't sound like he's a vampire. We need to kill him. Yeah, that's what happens. I guess he thought that the kid wouldn't fire. That must be it. I guess he did. That was a very smart bet, was it? It didn't work out, I could say that much. Well, as soon as the fight starts, I think you will assume it's like, well, this is going to end with his death because Chris has got another whole half an hour of fighting to do. How about you next time? He-man, you shot me. Oh, no.  Give me the remote. Drive home, he-man. Give me the remote where you're going.  Subtitles ain't on. Wrong channel. You start to ask yourself if it's even better to have the TV, but you can't let it go. That's why it's called hell. Some guys like, I actually like it at this low of volume.  Are you guys feeling any particular way about this child actor?  I think he's fine. He's doing fine. You did fine.    You know what, Chase? I agree with you. The child was terrible. He hasn't seen a good child actor in your entire lives.  I was the child actor in Intrudas. You know this is... Now the entire country is blue. It happens. They have to change the bulbs. The country changed the light bulbs. You just have to paint the bulbs so it's quicker. Then it all sheds by the time you change the color. We're not so different you and I. I got hit by a truck. You got hit by a truck. I thought children did you but he's like, yes. Obviously. Neat. The team up or something? I don't want to buy your guns.  Yeah, I just like that. I want a boy out of here that's all I care about. Because I do. He's going to kid my family if I didn't get his son back.  Well, let's be fair. We all want to see these two team up and fight a bunch of randies. Leave the kid alone. Not the kid. Leave the everyone alone. He's like, we got into a big fight. I ended up with all kinds of horrific facial injuries. You look perfect. What's that about? My arm's hurting though. Yeah, I hurt my arm. Dude, that disguise makes you look like a leper. Yeah. Don't get close to me or you'll get leprosy.  A grenade launcher just like in T2. Oh yeah, Rex, by the time people see this, they'll know I went to soldier hot takes so you can say what you want. Oh yeah. This is way better than Winter Soldier. Wow. He just kicks him. Dude, we talked about this. Uh-oh. Oh, no, it's like that woman. Yeah, it's like that. It always feels like whenever people come into a scene like that soldier-wise that they are just oblivious. It always feels that way.  So I'm just going to walk in looking directly ahead with my weapon down.  They just go, oh my God, what's going on? Shoot him just now. Then they yell freeze. Oh, look. Remember? The burge. Is that his burge? It's all coming together. What are you wearing? It's kind of gay, dude. My God, everything's bigger through these. Dude, he has so much fling. Oh, that's... Okay, so this is weird because they would have heard their friends die and then they just got surprised as he came down the stairs and shot them. Oh, grease. That was quick. That was quick. He lowered the fuse. He hacked his grenade. With his teeth. Damn, look at her. Nothing more dangerous than a woman with an RPG. What about a woman with AIDS with an RPG? AIDS with an RPG. You old lady with leprosy. What are you doing? Seriously, I almost feel like the leprosy coat makes it more suspicious. Is that a white Indian guy? He had like a yellow shirt. First of all, white people live in India. Do I mean like if he didn't wear the leprosy coat? That was just a fair skinned elderly Indian man. Go back. Zoom in. Enhance. Light skinned Indian man. Hello. No. Look, if I'm being honest with you, I'm like doing a mission. Could you maybe... This whole religious overtones really making me uncomfortable. I feel like they'd be aiming at this point. It's very suspicious. Wow, they were really slow.  Oh, he's got a stock there. He pulls out the stock. He knows what's up. We like this guy more now. He has a stock. Stocks are important, y'all. Showing my stock. No one wants to see that metal, please. Liar. You jammed me twice last night. Oh my God. I told you that in confidence. Well, he's calling me up for it, so... I need to see your swing, but only in private. Oh, sorry. There's no civilians back there. Oh, well. They knew what they were getting into. They knew what bridge they were crossing. The barrel of that couldn't get really hot from just holding it underhandedly like that. Like, you know, his main hand is on the trigger, and his other hand is just like grabbing the edge of the barrel at the very front of the barrel. Is that like a normal thing to do? Oh, sorry. I turned up the volume for the thing, and now there's actually an action scene. If we're talking about holding the gun around the barrel, guns get very, very hot around the barrel. Yeah, that's my question. Even suppressed guns. Now, he looks like an MP5SD.  Did some of those guys have UMPs, Rex? Did I get that right? Some of them did. Yay. Oh, yeah, he should be okay. He didn't shoot that much, but it still would get warm. Yeah, if you can blow on it between shots, you'll be okay. I feel like if it was too hot, if he touched it, it was too hot, he would have moved his hand immediately.  Yeah, what if you freeze your bullets beforehand? Yeah, will that help mitigate it? Yeah, you'll be fine at that point. I think most people will recommend that. I don't think that'll change anything. Yeah, possibly recommend that. But what if you could do that? You could also just shoot the bullet into someone's glass. It's not even like ADS. I feel like he gets dominated if he tries to go toe-to-toe with a helicopter. Yeah, they've got a PKM there. Yeah. This guy's oh man, holy fuck, how are you alive? He used the force. They're literally the luckiest man in the world.  He's got a force field. We've got all these weapons, these cars. Enough violence. Stop. Can you all talk? Thor is so violent. He's really gone downhill. Yeah. Since the pandemic, Thor's really in some dark days. These are the pandemic police. Like, I'm fine. Oh, jeez. Oh, that's... Not the fruit! Not the fruit! No! Uh-oh. That's gonna hit. Don't land on the bridge. Yeah, that's right. If the tail goes out, that thing's just gonna spin around. Spin around. Oh, hey, they'll be fine. Oh, it's not that deep. Oh, okay. We're both on fire. Add submerged help. Oh!  That was nice. I did not expect that to happen. Me either. I'll do it. It seems like there's no one in there. Um, are they meant for poking your gun through? Is that what they're for? Yeah, they're probably firing for it. Well, you have to either have it so that it's tall enough so that you can see your sights while the gun is sticking out. Right, yeah. Oh, that's a totally atomic thing. Genuinely, I don't know if I've ever seen that in anything other than John Williams. Yeah. I haven't. The last time I saw him was before the explosion, so... No promises. No promises, really. I left them on the bridge before the helicopter crashed into the bridge. What's our kill count right now? We're basically zero to a thousand. We're doing pretty well. I will admit, some of these locations for the enemies are sort of like teleporting in now. Like, wait, where were you? Oh, okay. Like that one. How do you try? The kid's like, I've killed before. They can do it again. He's got a taste for it. Looks like one of our heroes is out. Lots of jam all over the floor. Delicious. Delicious. How many sheep fruit? Yeah, fruit gets its remain. Jam. Yup. I feel like it's a trend. Whoever's safety zone dies. From a knife to your neck. Almost like a bad idea. Well, there's another trend. Whoever gets stabbed in the neck with a knife also dies. I've noticed that. I've noticed that. Oh! Oh, no. You might be okay. Is it the big boss? Oh, no, it's the big boss's person. Look, I'll play one. Continue! Please deposit five coins. You got controls, too. Can somebody deal with the sniper? Please.   I got. Quick, get into your bubbles. Uh-oh. Is that Chris Hemsworth? That's like 10 points. They're all competing with one another. What was that guy doing? It was just the best he can. The best he can. You could have shot him between those two things. I feel like you had plenty of time. Have you guys seen Chris Relodia? Yes. A couple times, yeah. Okay. He reloads between scenes, okay? Between shots. I saw him, I think he flipped around the mag at one point. The cool reload. He had two taped together, yeah. It's a cinematic technique called montage. You should be familiar with it. Yeah, they should just have a montage of him reloading like eight times. So... You just get it out of the way for the movie. He had a lot of shot opportunities before that, Bart. What was that guy doing? But... If he would have taken the shot earlier, he would have been in a different position for the other ones.  That's probably it. Oh, no, my arm. Ew. He's dead. Aw, I just washed that. Oh, my brain! He has a flesh wound, let's go. I was gonna say he was only in the arm. The heroes don't actually take damage from arm shots. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, you could even see the shot where it just grazed his arm. I think he's tired, okay, right? He's tired. This is the beginning of the movie. Oh, my God, it's like poetry rhymes. He ate too much jam in his full. He needs to take a nap. It's an extraction. Is he remembering his kid? Well, if you've noticed, you might even see the connection between this kid and the kid. He looks like the kid would need to get to the point of extraction turn and look at the camera. I hope a lot of people extract a lot of meaning from this movie. You should just nonstop extract funds until the end of the movie. Why are all the enemies just dying? They wouldn't, like, they just... They're poorly trained. They're wearing the wrong camo. They actually stand out a lot. True. It's like a bridge. Maybe it just makes you stand out more. Wait, that tree's got a gun. It's not a bridge camo. You need sub-urban camo.  You can invent bridge camo. Be the guy, okay? Be the one... Here we go. Where's he having his left hand? Grenade launcher. Grenade launcher. Oh, yeah, he does. It's gonna be tough to reload that with one arm. The police officer's dressed as a kid. Take him down. She reminds me of the Alita Battle Angel chick. Hmm. Kinda.  This feels gratuitous. Well, I think the idea here is that he probably could have made it, but he kind of doesn't want to make it, you know? He's been suicidal the whole movie. This is just his opportunity. It's gonna be real tough to survive that if he doesn't get attention soon. My beautiful neck! That's the closest they could get to his face. Oh, no, not him.  Wow, of all the times you missed.  Inperceptible. That kid was like the whole mission.  Woman, grab him. Bring me an ambulance! Oh, she got him. Damn. You'd think that kid that shot him would have regrouped by now would have been like, ah, he's there. I can get another shot. Can I just say, basically every scene involving that woman has had her with this, like, dead-eyed thousand-yard stare in every single scene. She's seen so much. She has seen so much. I guess so. Just permanently dead inside. Feels bad, man. Oh, no! Do a flip! I don't think this is... Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't remember being this deep. Also, that's gonna... You know when you're dying from like a bullet to the neck? Drowning? Not gonna help. Yeah. I think it will make it worse, actually. You don't drown from falling in the river. That doesn't change anything about what I said. That doesn't change anything about what I said. They said something about drowning in rivers before, which meets this clever now. Get an helicopter. Don't mind the corpse. They mentioned it once, so it's smart. There's definitely a dead guy in the helicopter, right? That's true. Can somebody go fish Chris out of the water? Chris! Wasn't there a helicopter in the water? What happened to that? He got better. Don't worry about it. It despawned.  Wow, he threw a kid off a building. He's like per usual and completely emotionally unaffected. He's like, that's like the fifth guy that I've seen do that. This line of work is sick of it. He would have floated up by now, and this kid would have shot him. I think he's got the body armor on him. That weighs down a bit. Oh, yeah, you're right. Fuck, he's just super dead. Like, a hand with a pistol sticks out and shoots the kid on the bridge.  Eight months. A child is almost born. Born full music playing. What up, nerd? Hey, remember the horrible tragedy that happened to you earlier? I was trying to forget about that. You keep bringing it up, dude. Stop bringing it up.  Yes, I do.   Neal's down at eye level. You're dead. You're 36. Why do you go to the school? Oh, he's not going to stay submerged in the river. He's going to leave it. I get it. Let the film have its message. Gee, Jiminy Willicas. Oh, peeing. Oh, water sports. The whole movie's a metaphor for water sports. Wait, where is it? I left it right here. Connections. Wait, women aren't allowed in. What are you doing?    So I'm going to say it. Probably not wise to assassinate someone in your dress. Because blood splatter. Yeah. Don't get close to the puddle of blood. That's okay. Everyone knows the blood goes away from the gut. That was the lamest I've ever been. It was. It was doing the thing. It was at the bottom. That means you get meditation points. See that dress would have been in the water. Oh, it smeared. Look, she's got blood on it. The blood's gone now because it ran out. I just don't think it's a good idea because someone might be like, you know what, we're going to interview everybody. This blood on your dress, what's that about? You're overthinking it. That's not how this world works. Fine. I'm just saying, Mahler, sometimes you don't need, not everything needs to make sense. Wait a minute. Was that him on his right? What? Before you discuss that, there are, I think, two sequels to this already being made with Chris Hemsworth. What? Really? He was shot in the neck and drowned that he lived. Wait, we didn't see him drown. He could have lived. He swam and he found a witch doctor. He had extra life, obviously. No, so this is upstream of the the great Indian healing river. Yes. Yeah, the Varanasi. The healing waters flowed down and they healed him. Wang. Yeah, yeah. I actually knew that happened, but I wanted to see if you guys caught it first. The double wangs. What, the double wangage? How can I miss? Well, you know what, what do you guys think? That was fun. That was fun. I think it's neat. I don't see any reason to watch this above the Terminator. Oh, Terminator is way better, but this is you know, this is one of them. It's like a five out of 10.  It was all right. Yeah. I mean, the action was really well shot. Yes. It had all the things you'd want to get out of this sort of movie, I feel. They definitely cared about a lot of it when they were making it. Except safety. I will happily say that this is the best of the Russo Brothers films. Civil War's better. Civil War's definitely better than this. It's better than Winter Soldier. Yes. This is better than Winter Soldier. Now, Mahler told me this is after our hot take on Winter Soldier comes out. I mean, well, for reference, people will be aware of that in two days from now. Oh, okay.  I can say it. You could say it. You're free. I think it was probably better than this as well, right? Infinity War? I'm not sure about that. I wouldn't want to be. I'm not sure. It is juggling way more stuff than this.  Infinity... The worst thing that happens here, I think, is a lot of plot armor in places. Infinity War's got the stones and the weirdtism with that, but it has an insane amount of character stuff that's getting done. And this is just like, oh, we've got some character happening. Well, look, Extraction is like the name of the movie.   Is that a late title card? Just wanted to make sure you got it. You have just witnessed Extraction.  Yay! I thought the action was awesome, and I'd love to see more in another movie, but, you know, sometimes you shouldn't wish for things. Yeah. But yeah, it's a neat movie. I recommend it. Yeah, I like it. That was pretty fun. That was Nido Burrito. Oh, I love those. Burritos are Nido. They probably won't watch the next one. What if I invite you to record on eFap movies? What about that? I'll do it, but it'd be like, well, I guess it'd be right over here, so I guess I'll come.  Even with the action scenes? The action scenes were cool. I mean, it was like watching Mortal Kombat.  It was the same entertainment value as Mortal Kombat. Wow. I'd say more from this one, but I think this is somewhat comparable. I think they did a much better job than I thought.  I can't disagree with you more. Fight. I have a debate right now. It's seven hours. No. Little did they know that this was actually the Mortal Kombat versus extraction debate. Well, I think Chris Hemsworth character is superior to...  The debate nobody even knew to ask for. You didn't know you wanted it. Because you didn't. Oh, that's rap. Alien isolation versus 51st dates. Disgusting. Dude, that's one of those kinds of debates that I'd like to do at some point. You versus me, Rags. We just picked two random things. Yeah. We start pulling him from a hat. We have a generator. Alright, Rags, you have to defend white chicks. Mola, you have bull in a cup. Mola, you have the prestige. Disguise. Well, I have to take the position white chicks is better than the prestige.   It's the last thing you ever collaborate on. EFAP is destroyed by white chicks versus the prestige.  You've ruined it now. I'm going to have to cut this all out. I'm sorry. I'm really good at foresight. Yeah, you know what? Go watch it. People in chat. That was kind of fun. I really appreciate that that was a movie that they clearly kind of cared about making in a nifty way. The camera work and a lot of the long shots and the way they constructed like that chase fight sequence. There was a lot I really liked in that. There are things that I wish I'd seen more of. Yeah, there's certainly more offensive movies. I think this is like a movie that I tend to be like, why can't we just have these again where it's just like, this was fine and you did all of the things you probably should have done the way that you did them. We don't get them anymore. We usually just get terrible or great. Very rare on great. Yeah, you know what? Because he's like, your main character, he's too involved with the war or the war in a general abstract sense that it's like when his son gets leukemia he doesn't stay with him at all. He just keeps going on volunteer missions until he dies and he's like completely consumed by that. And then does missions where he's got a grizzled past he don't even know if he's a good or a bad guy but he's looking after this kid and he rediscovers a sense of humanity to a degree but still kind of just wants to end it all.  The character. Yeah, as much as you needed. Yeah. And some really cool action in there. Yeah, there were guns. They shot them around corners and stuff. They stabbed people. I think it was neat. Alrighty then. Thanks for watching everybody. Yeah, it was good. Catch you around. That was a nice impulse movie watch. Unless you've been planning this for months. I literally planned this 100%. I contacted all of you 10 years ago. Mahler secretly thinks this is like 9 out of 10. And so he wanted to get our but he was worried that he might be wrong. So he had all of us watch it just so he could test his every scene. 9 out of 10. That you guys are making fun of or rating badly. I'm just like, yeah. Yeah. And cut out. To never release this video ever. I really like nervously laughing Mahler. Yeah, really good. Laughing Mahler. I like that. Oh, here's a little, here's I guess this is a little, I don't know if this is news or not. Someone posted this. I don't know. So Todd Phillips is doing the next Joker. I didn't know if that was news or not, but. Joker 2 will that's great, you know. We'll see. Let's hope. Even if it's the same creator. Apparently we'll see something totally different.  Are we, are we done with the movie now? We're done with the movie. Goodbye everybody. Goodbye everyone. Bye.

We're gonna drag him out the building and take him out close to the outside. I can't feel my legs. He'll be all right.


The next item of business is a statement by John Swinney on an update in Scotland's education reforms. The Deputy First Minister will take questions at the end of his statement. As we know, there are interventions and interruptions, I call on John Swinney, cabinet secretary. Presiding Officer, the relentless focus of this Government is to deliver an education system in Scotland that raises attainment for all, closes the attainment gap and enables all children and young people to fulfil their potential. During my statement to Parliament on the 26th of June last year, I set out our landmark agreement with Scotland's local councils that provide their clear and shared agenda for the empowerment of schools, rather than by introducing legislation. I undertook at that time to return to Parliament with my assessment of whether sufficient progress on our shared ambition had been made to satisfy me that the non-legislative route was the right one. I am therefore grateful for this opportunity to provide Parliament with an update on the progress around school empowerment and our related programme of education reform. My statement this afternoon is accompanied by a publication that provides additional detail on work in this area. International evidence demonstrates that successful education systems are those whose decisions about the education of our children are made as close to them as possible. That is why we are committed to empowering schools, to empowering teachers, parents, pupils and the wider school community to make the key decisions that affect the educational outcomes of children and young people. With our partners in local government, professional associations and other stakeholders, we are taking steps to put teachers, parents and communities in the driving seat. Together, we are building a school and teacher-led education system. A crucial element of this Government's agenda has been to recognise the importance of excellent school leadership and, in turn, to empower head teachers to more effectively lead our schools. The head teacher's charter that was published in February aims to ensure schools have wide-ranging decision-making powers over what matters—learning, teaching on the curriculum, their resources, staffing and budgets—and to make those decisions by involving their whole school community. That delivers on the policy intention originally part of the draft education bill. The charter supports a culture of empowerment that enables all professionals to contribute to the agenda of improvement. The charter, in combination with linked school leaders guidance, has now been used by schools and has been crucially co-produced. I am grateful for the shared work that has led to the production of the charter, and I am particularly pleased at the pace with which it has been delivered. I am also pleased to be able to report that, today, we have published updated devolved school management guidelines. The new guidance has also been developed in partnership with local government, while improving on existing advice crucially reflects the expectations and opportunities of an empowered school system, including the head teacher's charter. The Scottish attainment challenge and pupil equity funding have already empowered schools by allowing them to design solutions and take decisions specific to their school community. It is important that we now capitalise on this and deliver broader budgetary decision-making to our schools. I have also committed to providing high-quality support for school leaders, many of whom are now beginning to operate in an increasingly empowered environment. With that in mind, I am pleased to note that, last month, Education Scotland expanded the support that it provides for head teachers and will now provide a range of professional learning opportunities, specifically focused on school empowerment. That, in combination with our investment in the Columba 1400 head teacher leadership academies with the Hunter Foundation, will provide school leaders with the skills and confidence to flourish and deliver improved outcomes for the communities that they serve. We are also deepening the support that is available to schools through regional improvement collaboratives. Through enhanced engagement and support across local government, supported by additional Scottish Government funding of around £5 million this year and focused support from Education Scotland, the regional improvement collaboratives have significantly enhanced their capacity to support collaborative working across the system and deliver region-wide approaches to improving outcomes for our children and young people. That is evidence through the delivery of their September 2018 regional improvement plans, through increased engagement with and support of the teachers' networks across each region, and through focused regional interventions on attainment, curriculum development, leadership development and quality improvement. An interim review of the establishment of the regional improvement collaboratives was also published in February this year. It recognised the significant early progress that had been made in establishing local governance, leadership and buy-in across each regional improvement collaborative area. We will commission a further review later this year, again in partnership with local government, to assess the development and the impact further. We are committed to ensuring that pupils and parents are provided with the opportunity to influence decisions related to their school. That is more important than ever in an increasingly empowered school system. In July 2018, we developed a comprehensive plan in conjunction with local government to improve parental involvement and engagement. The Learning Together Action Plan 2018-2021 demonstrates our long-term commitment to put parents at the heart of their children's learning and reflects the importance that we place on parental engagement with a range of Scottish Government education policies and initiatives. Learners in our schools rightly expect their voice to be heard and valued. The Head Teacher's Charter places a central expectation on head teachers and through that to the wider and empowered system to support and encourage children and young people to participate in decisions about their own learning and the life of the learning community. In April 2018, in advance of the school empowerment reforms, Education Scotland published practical guidance to schools. We will continue to promote that guidance and support to schools in order that they can better support learner participation. It is important that the work in taking forward the joint agreement is placed in the context of wider education reforms. In particular, I was pleased to note last month's publication of the report of the independent panel on career pathways. That is an exciting report that will generate new and ambitious career pathways for teachers whilst increasing the attractiveness of the profession. I expect the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers to have put in place the conditions for new pathways by August 2021. It is also important that we recognise and support a wider range of practitioners who work with our children and young people. While we are deciding against the creation of a broader education workforce council, we are working with local authorities to further enhance the support offered to a wide range of education practitioners, including college lecturers, instrumental music instructors, school librarians and home school link workers. It is clearly vital that we understand the impact of our endeavours in empowering Scottish schools. We need to know where change is happening and where it is having a positive effect, and indeed where greater focus may be required. The early evidence that we have available does, however, provide me with cautious optimism that the types of empowered practice that I expect to see are becoming more common. Education Scotland has previously published thematic inspections on readiness for empowerment and on curriculum leadership, and has today published the findings of a further inspection on parent and pupil participation. While making it clear that we are only part way through this journey, those reports indicate that local authorities are taking positive steps to embrace the principles of empowerment that are set out in the joint agreement and that the education system is committed to collaboration and co-production. The readiness for empowerment review that was published in December 2018 noted that almost all local authorities are committed to developing an empowered education system with the aim of improving outcomes for learners, reducing inequalities and closing the attainment gap. It is important that we all take responsibility for the change process, and I am pleased that three local authorities are now also trialling a self-evaluation framework. I am also pleased that an overarching evaluation strategy has been developed that will bring together all available evidence on empowerment in our schools, which will help us to monitor progress. Equally important is the assurance that I have received jointly from the chief inspector of education, as chair of the joint agreement steering group, that partners remain firmly engaged in and committed to this work. That is highlighted to me and to COSLA that real progress has been made, and that the practice of empowerment and school-based decision making is becoming increasingly evident in our schools. The chief inspector has also stressed to me the importance and the value of the collaborative approach that we are taking with local government and other partners in the delivery of those reforms. She believes that progress has been made sooner than would have been the case through legislation and reassures me of the continued commitment of all partners to work together in supporting the delivery of an empowered system that improves outcomes for children and young people. That includes a clear objective to promote and build on the work to date, developing further guidance and engaging with the wider system with schools, teachers and others involved in children's learning. While I am heartened by those positive messages, I am under no illusion that we remain at a relatively early stage in our efforts to change the culture of school education in Scotland. The joint agreement and the recently agreed teachers pay deal provide us with the stability required for real and long-term system change to take place, but we must maintain our collective focus and ensure that meaningful improvements are delivered. When I last addressed members on this issue in June 2018, I made it clear that if sufficient progress had not been made in the forthcoming 12 months, I would return to Parliament and introduce an education bill. This afternoon, I have set out my view that progress is being made in a genuinely collaborative spirit and a culture based around empowerment is starting to take root in our schools. It is clear to me that we would not have come so far in such a short period of time if we had relied on introducing an education bill. I am also assured that this Government's long-term vision of a school-led education system is shared by our partners in local government. The chief inspector has further endorsed and recommended to me the continuation of our partnership approach. Given that I am able to confirm that the Scottish Government will not introduce an education bill as means of driving school empowerment, instead we will continue to work in partnership with local government, teacher representatives and the wider education sector. We will collectively ensure that schools are supported to take the key decisions relevant to them. I am optimistic that our collaborative approach through which we share a view of empowerment and collectively take responsibility for change will result in improved outcomes for Scotland's children and young people. Achieving excellence and equity for all our children and young people is the core purpose of this Government and those reforms are central to this work. Given the importance of this agenda, I would be pleased to return to Parliament in a year's time to once again provide an update on this vital work. Thank you very much Cabinet Secretary. Cabinet Secretary will now take questions on his statement. As usual, around 20 minutes I could ask those members who wish to ask the question to press the request to the speakers now. I call Liz Smith, followed by Ian Gray. Thank you, and I thank the cabinet secretary for prior sight. In the 2017 programme for government, the First Minister told us this. A new education bill will deliver the biggest and most radical change on how our schools are run. But then exactly a year ago, the cabinet secretary decided to scrap the bill, defending the U-turn by telling us that faster progress would be made to improve school standards without legislation. Now he is telling us that he has cautious optimism, that standards are improving and that this improvement has not been made to be possible because of the absence of the education bill. You could not make it up because there are no hard facts whatsoever to prove his contention. Indeed, it will not have escaped his notice that the Education and Skills Committee reported just recently, and I quote, the lack of baseline data means that no meaningful conclusions on upward or downward trends can be reached at a time of reform within Scottish education. So can I ask the cabinet secretary exactly what evidence it is that he has found, that nobody else has found, to prove that standards are improving across the board? Does he really believe that evidence supports his view when he says, and I quote that it is clear that we would not have come so far if an education bill had been introduced? Finally, does he believe that when a local authority takes a blanket decision to move all its schools to a six-column subject choice structure for pupils in S4, headteachers enjoy the greater autonomy that is promised by the Scottish Government? Cabinet secretary, there are quite a lot of topics covered in that question, Presiding Officer. Forgive me as I try to address them. In relation to my statement to Parliament today, where I have recorded that I believe faster progress has been delivered by the collaborative route that we have taken as opposed to the legislative route, I would cite this evidence. Firstly, if we had been involved in a legislative process around the bill, we would not have been able to focus partners on the delivery of some of the specific components of the education bill. The headteachers charter is now available, delivered, implemented in Scottish education when, if we had waited for a bill, the headteachers charter would have only been enacted once we had put the provision in place. That is the first piece of evidence. The second piece of evidence is the information that is provided to me by Her Majesty's chief inspector of education on the assessment that she has made and Education Scotland are making through thematic inspection of the way in which the approach that we are setting out is being applied by all partners and through her chairing of the steering group that is implementing the agenda. I would cite that as the evidence that faster progress has been delivered. Secondly, the list that Liz Smith moved on to was about baseline data about performance within the education system. I know that the issues are here to be rehearsed in terms of the information that we publish routinely as part of the national improvement framework, where we set out year on year the progress that has been made by young people within our education system to a greater degree of detail than has ever been the case in the past, with levels of information published at primary 1, primary 4, primary 7 and S3, where in fact no such comprehensive data was published in the past. Of course, the data that we all are familiar with demonstrates that attainment is improving within our education system and the attainment gap has been closing and that data has been well rehearsed in Parliament before. Finally, on the question of subject choice, curriculum control is a matter that, under the head teacher's charter—this is a relatively recent publication—will be vested in individual schools. We are encouraging collaboration among schools within our education system. For some schools, collaborating with each other about the availability of subject choice so that, across a number of schools, a broader subject choice can be available, then if everything was just contained within an individual school, it requires a degree of collaboration across individual schools. There will be a role for local authorities to be involved in that collaboration, but what I am confident about from the authentication of information that I have had from the chief inspector of education is that local authorities are genuinely committed to that progress—that process—and we should welcome that as evidence of the creation of an empowered education system. I understand that you had a lot of questions embedded in that. That was a long answer and I appreciate that the front bench here should also get the chance. After that, it has to be crisp answers because I have 12 people wanting to ask questions, and Mr Scott is already in a tizzy. Mr Gray. Thank you and thanks to the cabinet secretary for the early sight of his statement. In fact, we have known for a year what this statement would say. Everyone knows that the education bill was dropped because no one supported it, and everyone knew that Mr Swinney would be back here climbing great progress so that he could finally put his flagship legislation out of its misery. However, his reforms still do not address the real issues in our schools—squeezed budgets, teacher shortages, a narrowing curriculum, a lack of rigorous data on literacy and numeracy, standardised tests that parents do not want and that teachers do not rate, an explosion of multilevel teaching and a crisis in support for pupils with additional support needs. Having spent a year developing and delivering an empowered schools diagram, will the cabinet secretary now turn his attention to those real problems in real schools faced daily by real teachers, real pupils and real parents? Cabinet secretary? I spend all of my time focused on the real issues that face Scottish education, which is why I follow the international evidence that says that a successful education system will be one where more decisions are taken as close to young people as is possible in the education system. That is the culture and the approach that we are trying to create through the empowered schools reforms. On the various points that Mr Gray raised, I would just offer a few observations. On the question of budgets, local authority budgets on education have been rising for four years in a row, with a substantial increase in real terms in the most recent data available. Teacher numbers stand at the highest level that they have stood at since 2010, with the largest number of primary teachers in Scottish schools since 1980. I know that the Education and Skills Committee has been looking at the question of subject choice, but when I look at the options that are available to young people in Scottish education, I think that there is a much broader choice available to young people than when I was at school. On Scottish national standardised assessments, we commissioned an independent review to examine the issues, and it has reported and demonstrated the value of standardised assessments. Mr Gray knows that I am actively working to strengthen and improve the availability of support to meet the needs of young people with additional support needs and will continue to focus on that issue in the period going ahead. I hope that that gives him some reassurance that, on all the key questions that he raised as concerns, the Government and our local authority partners are doing everything that we humanly can do to address those issues. I have 13 questioners and 10 minutes. The intention to devolve powers to schools is to empower head teachers as education leaders, but it is not clear what accountability mechanisms are in place to ensure effective oversight and scrutiny of those head teachers. They have enhanced powers and are out over budget and staffing. When power is with the local authority— We had democratically elected councillors in place to scrutinise, so what mechanisms are in place through the head teacher's charter and the devolved school management guidelines to ensure effective oversight is in place? Head teachers are senior employees of local authorities and will remain so under those reforms, so there is a direct line of accountability in relation to employment issues in that respect. However, head teachers have a much broader approach to accountability to pupils, to parents, to communities, to staff, to the way in which schools fulfil the needs of young people, and that is the conversation and discussion that an empowered school must have with its community to make sure that the needs of all learners are being met. Tavie Scott, followed by Clare Adamson. Is not the reality for parents and teachers unspent peff money, unfilled head teacher vacancies and more bureaucracy in classrooms through yet more guidance? If the education secretary wants to work with teachers, as he has said to Parliament today, why does he not actually listen to primary one teachers and drop the national testing of four and five-year-old boys and girls? I listened to an independent review that I commissioned on this question, which found that there was significant value in primary one standardised assessments as contributing to informing the judgment of teachers. I trust teachers' judgments, but I also recognise and I listen to teachers who make a plea for their to be moderation within the education system so that they can understand the levels and the standards that they are trying to achieve for young people. Standardised assessments help to inform that judgment. Clare Adamson, followed by Jeremy Balfour. The cabinet secretary has previously said that the best decision about children's education is taken by people who know them best—the teachers, head teachers and parents, as well as young people themselves. Can the cabinet secretary outline how his decision to fast-track the implementation of his reforms has helped to achieve those best decisions? What the quote that Clare Adamson reads out reflects my reading of the international evidence, which argues for more and more decisions to be taken in the classroom by individual empowered classroom teachers. At the heart of the reform agenda and at the heart of the pay and workload deal that we have arrived at with the professional associations and our local authority partners, it is about creating a sense of teacher autonomy and teacher agency, where teachers can constantly make judgments about the educational journey of young people and the agenda that I have set out today supports and enhances that. In his statement this time last year, the Deputy First Minister spoke of consensus building at the heart of his approach following the shelving of the education bill. Given that we were open to working in consensus to pass the bill and given the many defeats that the Government has faced in this Parliament in the past year on education, does the Deputy First Minister not now see that reforms should be implemented in the right way and that is through the democratic process of this Parliament? The reform has been managed through the democratic process of this Parliament and it has been managed in collaboration with our local authority partners who have statutory responsibility for the delivery of education. Parliament often encourages me to work collaboratively with other people, that is precisely what I have done in this agenda and we have made faster progress as a consequence. Cabinet Secretary will be aware of the reduction in subject-specific principal teacher roles that were covered with a movement to faculty heads in recent years, particularly in our secondaries. Can he provide more detail for what alternative routes for promotion might be available for teachers going forward so that we can make sure that we keep talent in our classrooms? I encourage members of Parliament to look at the report that has been produced by the working group on career pathways, led by Moira Bolland of the University of Glasgow. It is a very refreshing read about the creation of new pathways in subject specialism, in pedagogical specialism and also in disciplines within the education system, for example, on additional support needs. What the review undertook was work on my behalf to create alternatives to routes to administrative leadership within the education system so that we could entrench outstanding classroom practice in our classrooms and celebrate that, and that is what the review has generated. Mary Fee fall by Rona Mackay Thank you, Presiding Officer. Provision of additional support needs is fragmented across local authorities. Similarly, we know that local authorities use a variety of models in the provision of home link. What steps will the cabinet secretary take to ensure that home link staff are fully resourced and fully supported? Home link staff provide a really valuable role within our education system. I see increasing numbers of schools opting to use pupil equity funding to establish much greater proficiency and effectiveness in home school link workers. As a consequence, pupil attendance and participation and attainment as a consequence is improving from those efforts. I think that the Government actively works with our local authority partners on the resourcing of all aspects of the education system. We see, as I indicated, strong and effective practice emerging out of pupil equity funding, which is strengthening the areas of activity in which Mary Fee is interested. Rona Mackay, followed by Jamie Halcro Johnston Thank you, Presiding Officer. Can the cabinet secretary expand on how his reforms will help to raise standards and close the poverty-related attainment gap? One of the very clear outcomes of the implementation of the Scottish attainment challenge and pupil equity funding has been an ever-sharper focus within the education system on the young people who face barriers to fulfil their potential as a consequence of their background in poverty. That focus has always been on our education system, but PEF and Scottish attainment challenge have intensified that. As a consequence, we are now seeing real improvements in the performance of young people, the closing of the attainment gap and, obviously, the data will be published in the years to come to demonstrate the pattern that that takes in the years to come. Jamie Halcro Johnston, followed by Tom Arthur Scottish Government statistics for 2017-18 show that the gap between the most and least affluent going to university has increased in the last year. The official statistics from last year's exam results show that the attainment gap between school pupils from the poorest and richest areas has increased, too. Can the cabinet secretary say whether he thinks that the backdoor reforms have been successful in this regard? On the measures that we have published, the attainment gap is closing and has closed over time. On the point of access to university education, we are at a record high in the proportion of young people going to university from the most deprived areas in Scotland. I do not quite understand the data that Mr Halcro Johnston is marshalling to undermine what is outstanding achievements and performance as a consequence of the focus that we have on widening access in higher education. Tom Arthur, followed by Daniel Johnson. Can I ask the cabinet secretary how the Scottish Government has ensured that the voices of parents and pupils have been heard throughout the reform process and will continue to be heard going forward, given the benefit that this collaborative approach is having for schools in my constituency such as St Anthony's and Johnson's? The National Parent Forum of Scotland is a key partner in all of our reform activity. We are listening closely to the contents of their thinking in all aspects of the education and reform journey, and we will continue to do that as we strengthen parental and pupil voice within education. The one hard figure in the statement is the £5 million for regional improvement collaboratives. Could the cabinet secretary confirm that that will be recurring funding? How many net new roles has that created within the education system? Could he elaborate and give a specific example of the interventions that the regional collaboratives have been implementing in the past year? That is more than one question. I cannot give Mr Johnson the head count number in relation to the funding for regional improvement collaboratives, but I will happily write to him about that. On the concrete examples of what the regional improvement collaboratives are doing, they are running improvements in literacy and numeracy programmes, with tried and tested evidence-based practice being used to inform and strengthen professional development. They are delivering moderation support in different across-regional boundaries to make sure that teachers across the broad general education have a better understanding of standards. They are putting in place exchanges of learning about the measures that are closing the attainment gap fastest in areas of deprivation to make sure that learning can be shared across the board. A real collaborative spirit has been taken forward within our regional improvement collaboratives, and that is sharing good educational practice across the system. I welcome the Scottish Government's on-going commitment to empowering teachers and on securing a landmark deal on teachers pay, but can the cabinet secretary expand on the support that will be provided to help to reduce teachers' unnecessary workload? The whole concept of teacher agency is about empowering our teachers to have professional confidence to make judgments about all aspects of the curriculum, but it is crucial to ask judgments about their workload. I have just come from a meeting of the Scottish Education Council this morning at which all players in Scottish education committed to some further joint work on reducing unnecessary teacher bureaucracy to enable teachers to focus on what we all want them to focus on, which is the learning and teaching of young people in Scotland. That concludes the question. I apologise to James Dorn and Neil Findlay, who were additional questioners and did not quite manage to reach you. We are short and move on to the next item of business.
