even by starting with Christopher Stockman. Oh, is celebration really the word we want to use for 2023? Yes. Existence is endurance is what we did. I had a great time. Oh, well, that's become the topic of the town now as to whether or not people are doom-saying too much. And the film is just fine, actually. It was a subreddit. Never been better. A thread that was shared that had a tweet of mine saying now share. I think there was a stream with me and Drinker and several others on Open Bar. And there was a tweet saying that that was, you know, it was like, oh, they're saying movies are bad. And I was like, it's been reported as the worst year ever. I don't even know that what we're saying could be considered controversial anymore. It's pretty just normalized and accepted now. And then Lofty said, I listed, I think, 10 films. So like, well, these were good. And then I was like, OK, now do the bad one. Yeah, it's like, we'll give you 100 once and we're terrible. We need to stop counting the ratio. They say if you go back and you only pick the good indie films, then film looks much better. But if you go back and you pick the bad indie films alongside the good indie films, then the balance probably emerges at about the same as it is. Yeah. And we could happily talk about obscure indie films that have been seen by literally dozens of people. But, you know. Well, now it doesn't come on. Is it really a reflection of film culture and where we're at? I don't think so. I mean, I thought everybody didn't like every Disney film. Well, if you ask YMS. See, well, that's clearly we need. We need to improve our media diets, gentlemen. I was actually going to bring that up, Rags, because remember, he was very resistant to the idea that it is any worse now than it was. And so I said, you know, and I believe this is the one of the easiest ways to see it. It's like, so Star Wars is doing pretty bad, wasn't, you know, 20 years ago. It's like, Star Trek's doing pretty bad, to be fair. I don't know how good Star Trek was doing 20 years ago, but I know it was better than now. Then there's Indiana Jones was doing better than it was now. And it was what else? It's like, basically, spin the roulette wheel. Jurassic fucking, well, Jurassic as a franchise, I guess you'd call it. Yeah. Dinosaur. Jurassic. Marvel and Disney. Oh, wow. Marvel is one of the best examples ever because Rewind 20 years and it doesn't even exist. We've done this before, where it's like, pick any year in the 90s, or perhaps even the 2000s, and you will have an absolute. Well, we won't have to because Christopher Stockman is going to tell us about that list, and we won't even have to. Me trying to delay us from. You would have some absolute bangers of movies that have really made an impression and stood the test of time. And I think you would struggle in the 2020s to do the same thing. Is that right? Well, yeah. Chris Stockman can help us, but yeah. I was going to say, it's just not controversial to us, you know, like saying that. It's obvious. Yeah. It should be obvious to him. He does this for a living. I don't know. It's kind of like saying it shouldn't be controversial that the sun is going to rise in the east tomorrow and set in the west. Like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on. Some things are just so firm. No, we're fine. It's all good. Molly, you went on Open Bar to defend the last for show. Drinker, did you go spine spaghetti? Did someone bring up last of us and you didn't defend it? Oh, that's that really cool show. Yeah, that's a good show. I'm trying to remember what I said about it at that point. I think it was more a case of overall, my impression of it was good. It was a good show. And I think it's a good example of a solid video game to TV adaptation. And then we got into the weeds of just picking apart a few of the issues that we had with it. There were issues. I think the casting of whatever the hell weird name is as Ellie, for example, like, I don't think that was the best actress they could have picked. Stuff like that. I will say, as much as I agree that we probably should have gotten someone else, perhaps even for both roles, I still think both of them put in a good performance. I think, yeah, I think Pedro's was an excellent performance. Ellie warmed up on me, the actress. It took a while for her to sort of settle in. Yeah, I think Pedro was fine. I think with the material he was given, I think I can definitely tell the differences between his portrayal or, should I say, the joe that we get in the TV show versus the joe that we got in the game. And again, I think it's quite an interesting way to, it's an interesting thing to do, to compare the two. I can clearly tell they are the same character, just different versions of that same character. Yeah, it's very easy for my mind to link the two together.  Anyway, why would I delay? We're gonna check out the best movies of 2023. How suitable for our year look back stream, I guess. Is everyone ready? Hit us with it. Chris, hit us with your personality. Whoa. I mean, I thought Matt would be kind to talk to you. You could have tried. I'm getting stuck with nice right now. Holy God. I'm just checking away. I don't like this intro. I gotta tell you, I like the old one better. We had that conversation before. We have. Advertisement. Well, of course we get the same. We're well written characters, Trini. I miss it so much. It's a great guitar riff, you know? The, you know, like, oh man. I don't know. Does it really work without the punch to the screen and then get stuck monized? I feel like that's really what brings it up. Yeah, that's one of these kids. It needs to be him popping out and then punching through the camera, gloss, shattering everywhere. There's one thing I get wonder, actually. Maybe you guys can help me. How does one become stuck monized? Oh. What is it? That's a terrible drinker. Oh, if the way was made clear, it would not be the way. It's like a spirit quest. You know, you gotta go on a pilgrimage through the mountains. You got to speak to the local shaman up on the hill and look on the whole journey.  It's more a state of being rather than. Yeah, that's right. It's a state of mind. Four nights of fasting. It's not a destination. It's a journey. Okay. I want to read this book, but we can't until. Is he reading a book? This is stuck with me reading. Where were you 10 minutes ago, Alex? Yeah, rags. I'm sorry. I was too. I was not listening. Yeah, I can tell. I'm stuck monized. Is that the thing that happens in Quake? I think I think I'm conveyor belt. Is it getting stuck? Is it like the Neuralizer where it makes you forget the video you saw? Or is that just something that happens when you watch the videos anyway? I don't know, man. It seems like almost like the sort of thing you would see on porn hub.  You get stuck by a man. That's true. But aggressive. Impact at the end, doesn't it? I'm just here to make films. All right, good luck. Hmm. Why don't you work on the videos first? And then we can. I mean, you're literally here in this video to talk about films. Yeah, I'm just here to also talk about films. This is like someone who goes golfing with I'm just here to play baseball t-shirt. Does he make films? I thought he just did. Yes, he's made short films and he's currently, I believe, completing production upon his first feature film, Shelby Oaks. We'll be very excited to check it out. Are we? Yeah. OK, yeah, I'm stoked. That's what we've been paid to say. I've been paid. That never happened before. Short options, only point. Refresh my memory. At no point in this video is he ever allowed to say anything negative about anything he's going, right? Well, so this is the best of and I believe one of the top comments on this video is I like when you made the worst of.  Isn't it really interesting how when you got into no, nothing about him is interesting. Well, not him necessarily, but his outlook on this like once he got into making his own movies certainly became super positive about everything. Yeah, the only thing interesting about Chris Duckman is purely meta. It's very much. Well, it's mysterious almost, right? It's like, you know, we shouldn't be shitting on creators now. I'm becoming a filmmaker and I would like the YouTube people to be chill about it. OK, when I think that you should embrace the reverse, you should be like, I'm becoming a filmmaker. You guys better not go easy on me just because I'm making the film, right? Yeah, go the opposite direction of like a lot of honestly, like AVGN RLM where they end up making something that even they are ashamed of. It's like, try to make something you're proud of and then accept the criticism of it, which to be fair, I don't imply the red light media or AVGN haven't accepted criticism. I think it's a cop is great. If you've seen Space Cop, it's one of the best crappy movies I've seen in a long time. I I I wanted to love it. I wanted to love it. I think there's there's there's there's gags in it that probably seemed better like on the script than in reality. You know, one of the guys I won't forget was when Chris Evans is Space Cop. No, Chris Evans. I had that kind of money. Chris Evans is Space Cop. Boost MCU world for him. When he's he's activated his like screen visor, high tech helmet, but there's loads of porn ads come up on it and he can't see. I thought I thought that was funny. They're predicting the future. Yet another year talking about film on this platform. This is crazy. I've been doing this for this is crazy. Isn't it remarkable how he manages to not raise or lower the voice? He doesn't even speak a little bit different all the time. He just does all the same. Call me unconventional as well. But when you've been doing literally the same thing for ten years, it sees to be crazy and just becomes reality. Isn't it crazy that we're today? How crazy this is incredible? I can't believe another year can't believe it.  The cameras rolling. So good to be here. I'm so crazy. Is it possibly his attitude is more like, I can't believe I'm not a successful Hollywood director yet.  What was the frame? Was it that we felt like he was a wannabe? We said it wasn't quite a wannabe Spielberg. It's almost a wannabe JJ Abrams. Like it's almost. If you're going to be a second right version of someone else. Don't make him what's I. I don't know if interesting is the right word. An observation is that it feels to me like Chris Stockman is obsessed with the idea of being seen as like a filmmaker, more so than he's interested in the actual making of films. It's kind of strange. I don't know, man, like when you watch his reviews, about 50 percent of them are just production information about who's directing it. Who did the cinematography? Who did the sound editing? Where's the insight other than just like listening? You know, people who are involved, but not really. Oh, we'll get to insight how they do things. Read his book. Plenty of insight in the book. OK. On the video, I'm sure. Yeah, I'm ready to be surprised. Ready to be stuckmanized. Yeah, I don't even know what's going on. He really he really captures the essence of. Whoa, dude. Yeah, I am utterly convinced by this perplexion, I got to say. So much has happened. This is the sort of thing you would say if your channel had just blown up.  Like, well, this point last month, I had nothing. This filmmaker needs a filmmaker, maybe a director to be like, hey, bud, your motivation right now is that you're elated and ecstatic that you've reached this level. You need to convince the audience that that's how you feel instead of saying it because you feel like you probably should. And I don't think he captures that motivation. You know, I'm not feeling it as a film maker myself of YouTube accounts. That's a few years and it's time once again to talk about the best films of the year. And as usual, I want to start with some honorable mentions. You guys know these are my picks. These are films that meant something to me. These are films that impacted me in a specific way. But they don't kill. They're not good enough to be one of the honorable. Yeah. Honorable mention implies that they didn't make the grade for the list, but there's something about them that is still worthy of mention. Yeah. And I really wanted to limit myself to 12 because numbers. Because Chris, why do you just do 14? He's like, hmm, I don't know, man. Seems a little much. That sounds a little exciting. It kind of ruins it, doesn't it? Don't want to go too crazy on those numbers. You meant to do 10. That's what you meant to do is 10. Well, if you're going to breach the 10, you may as well just keep all the ones you love the most. Well, that wasn't an nostalgia critic thing, right? Elf. Top 11. 11. The right time. Or they were just really phenomenal movies. And those honorable mentions are The Boy and the Heron. Are you going to talk about it? No, no, this is a list. No, he said literally just mentioning them. Yeah, he's literally honorable mentions. Yes. They get mention. It's just mention.  But his version, it makes sense. They would just be reading out the title. The exit. Maybe he'll say they're all great at the end. Eyes, bottoms, still a Michael J. Fox movie. Are you there, God? It's me, Margaret. Win evil. Margaret movie. Bo is afraid. This is a lot of mentions. Man, why not just make a top 20 list? Why not just talk about it? This is your end of the year video. You only have to make these once a year and it's 14 months long. Because here's the thing, like just saying like, oh, yeah, these are my honorable mentions. I like them. And then here's the list. That doesn't help anybody.  He just said what genre it has. Like, is it like a horror or something? Oh, come on. He doesn't know that. Oh, sorry. I thought you watched that. The boy in the heron is in the bird genre. Ah. Also, as we stream, I am actively balancing everyone's audio. So keep complaining. And I mean that genuinely so I can tell if we're there or not. Yes, do not quit. We will. OK. All right. Loved all of those movies. Enjoyed all of them in their own way. They're all very sweet. Enjoyed them all in their own way.  If they were special, then you would have made them part of the list. Special. Well, they're a separate list. If anything, this is the better list because it's before the other list. Well, and also, look at the time. It's only 14 minute long video, which means each of these films are going to get about a minute. Damn, yeah. Cool. Yeah. Oh, no, it's going to be less than that. Which is, by the way, someone might be like, I need to get to the main list. It's like that's unscripted as well. So he couldn't lay out. I assume this is a script. I assume he's got more than just a list of them. I got to imagine, surely he has a problem of, like if he has limits that he poses on himself in terms of time, he goes over that when he writes the scripts and then has to cut it down, right? I can't imagine making a script for a 14 minute video that's mostly just descriptive and then saying, nah, this is too long. Gary. I'm going to cut this down. You're going to trim the fat. Speaking of trimming the fat. Hey. I saw you get that one. That's a very long time. That's a very long time. Gary's like, is that fetsive? I don't know. I don't actually know. I figured out. I know. I'll take it as offensive. Good to see you. How are you? We're doing Watch Together shenanigans if you want to jump into the link and join us. We're checking out Chris Duckman's top films of 2023. Oh, my goodness. I'm sorry, Gary, but CeCe did not make it into the top 12. What? He gave it an honorable mention, literally mentioning its name. This was a film which I watched. It was a film. I have put it in a human way. Of images displayed in sequence. At high speed. I think it was a thing he did say that it was a film that meant something to him. It's just that we'll never find out what precisely that means. We don't know what it means. Maybe he got diarrhea after one of them. I don't know. Oh, yeah, that could mean. Yeah. That has meaning. Honest, we got that much out of him on anything. So does he mention more on other films other than he saw them? Oh, well, I think we're going to actually, yeah, we're all very excited. Strap yourself in, boy, because you're about to get stuck on ice. But they didn't quite make the list, which we're going to get into in just a second.  They would have if they were better. Oh, yeah.   That looks great.  No, no, no, they always look gross when they're cold. And then they look gross when you're numb with them. But that looks like it's been out of my way. Yeah. This is like a disposal system. So if you throw it off, like they'll come along, put it in one of these string things over the first bag. If you want to go all over twists, go to. And it looks like they took out an organ on the other side from a dead body. Probably. All right. Hey, Gordon. No, no. It almost looks like a face pressed up against the. Yeah, this is Edward Munch's lunch is what this is. Well, and the side portions change size based on.  Hey, when has nice nails though. Wait, that means that this is the fact of people that did this, right? Provided the footage. Like, why would you make it look nicer? You know how like in McDonald's, as they'll do this, I don't know if you've seen the behind the scenes, but the way they do that shit is amazing. They have like all these kinds of machines and absolutely a lie. And then they make it look really good that you like you buy it. It's like a crushed up into the corner burger that's you poke at it. Deflates. What could also be his wife, right? I guess. Oh, that could be his wife. Is it packaging? In the back. What's his name? It's a spoiling greenest people. It's easier than ever by delivering. No, it's just when they stole it upside down. Don't show the part where it's nasty and frozen. Show the part where it's finished and you've dressed up and, you know, I guess this is honest. This is what I guess. Yeah, I don't blame it. Obviously, they never look good beforehand. Move meals right to your doorstep. Their team of gourmet chefs create each meal using only ingredients with integrity to help you feel your integrity. So like, all the peas are still in the integrity? Well, I just want to say I kind of stand as duplicitous. The chicken wasn't a liar? Is that what you mean? This was made for upstanding citizens.  It's like stringing in. I know it's honest ingredients in this. Made with a hundred percent great integrity. That's all day long. This bustling holiday season, you might be looking for nutritious flavorful meals to fill you when this came out after the holidays. Back to America's number one mango. Man, that looks normal. That looks like that looks like agnog just to be clear. That does not look like a mango smoothie. It could still be spooked poop juice. You don't know. Ready to eat meal delivery service can help you eat well for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's so foreign. That looks like that's a Christian drink. That's a Christian drink. I guess you want to have this. This should be Chris Duckman beverage. You're like Billy Mays here. Welcome to the smoothie. You know what I have like? Hello. Today we're looking at factor food. I am I'm really informed that humans require food in order to stay alive. This is food and it can get delivered to you. Billy Mays here. Here are some mango jizz in a cup. It should be good. It's really good. It's part of the ad. You know it's part of the ad. Eating creatures of the planet earth. Billy Mays here. Sourced from plants. Are they going to show Chris Duckman eating the food? Because that was really going to do the crusty thing. I'd say like I don't buy the taste. I don't buy the taste. Right. It needs to be the guy from Shelbyville who like he drinks that mango one and then his face like contorts and shrinks. He caves him in the mouth. He's drinking turnip juice. I love the turnip juice. Paired dietitian approved ready to eat meals. This looks like something you squeeze out of something else. You'll save time and stand. I always wonder what dietitian approved. Well, the dales. Oh, yes. Yeah. Like if you put them like if you went outside to the garbage can or the bin as some of you call it and you just like stuck a faucet to the bottom of it and turned it. That's what would come out. You just drink it right up. Hey, there's a really good for your immune system. There's a scar on her knuckle where she hit her husband. I feel like her hands are more interesting than your average Chris Duckman review. Yeah. There's more conversation to be had. Style while tackling some of the box cut.  You just peel it. No, those peelers are a lie, by the way.  But you just try one. Give it a shot drink.  The standard procedure is you try once. It doesn't work.  Exactly. Yeah.  Anyone. So it's part of the process. You're hard to do. So you can cross makes it taste better off your list this holiday. There you go. That looks like you couldn't just peel it off the top. You needed a box cut. Again, where were you two minutes ago? Wake up. I'm sorry. I was I was I was literally watching the video. I was looking at it was paused. I was looking at the things. I was looking at the great things. This is sweet. No, we were talking about it for about a minute there. That's fine. It's all right. It's fine. It's fine. No, no, it's fine. It's slanderous eyes. Isn't it like the middle of the day where you are? You don't know. Waking up. Just waking up for this. I'm already a can in and I'm still. Take your energy drink and we need you up and ready to go. Is it? Yeah, come on. You don't go food. Whatever. What's your favorite don't go food? Is it this? Um, is it this? I don't know. I like all kinds of food. I suppose I suppose. Oh, gosh. I don't know. I have very broad taste. I don't know if I can narrow it down. Let's go with today. We'll say that I really I'm in the mood for sushi right now. That's what I really that's what I really like. That's what I'm in the mood for. Today's sponsor is sushi delivered straight to you in the package and it's really good. I have to be shaken by the postman and thrown through your door windows. That's something. Yeah. I was going to ask about because some of it mentioned, isn't he a filmmaker? Wouldn't you expect the ad to be like kind of awesome looking and dynamic? No, no, that's that would be if he was passionate about making film. You would see that shine through in his. Well, I guess his everything that had to do with, you know, like videos. I think I think the more relevant part would be that the passion probably doesn't exist that much for his YouTube videos. Oh, no. If it ever did it certainly doesn't anymore. You're just saying that because of his monotonous voice that he's used for over a decade. You're just saying that because of his honorable mentions. Oh, I mean, I'm just saying that because he's basically admitted as much, right? That like he views this is lesser than like making movies. I think so, yes. This is a stepping stone this whole thing, this whole experience of YouTube. I assume whoever he's handing the camera to is not a director like a friend of his. Well, no. He's the one that's filming right now. Yeah, it's very easy. Okay. Like, is he actually filming this? So I thought he had the nails. Chris. I'm gonna be honest with you guys. When Mel suggested, I was like, wait, that makes more sense because I don't think the people who make this food would have allowed this to be the ad footage. I don't think so. I want to I'm opening it with a box cutter because that's a really weird for you all of it. Like when it looked in the beginning. I'm surprised that I've done an ad for a company and the entire promo like flipping open a thing in front of various different settings. It was like three second videos. It was awful. And so I had to be creative. You have to film it yourself. Look, the people who make this they're they're their chefs that make ethical food with integrity. They're not filmmakers like Christopher Stuckman. Irrigate. You can't expect them to, you know, have incredible filmmaking qualities. You know, skip the meal planning, grocery shopping, shopping, prepping. Yeah, let it flop out. Yeah. I wish mine could have done that. Yeah, I wish suffocating us. You need the squelching sound. No. I want it. Frozen meals delivered to your door. Factor has made meal prepping a lot easier this year for my family. Time is of the essence. We're always You also want to zap him with a little tazer while he's talking just to make him go ehh ehh ehh ehh ehh ehh ehh He doesn't strike me either as a guy who's like super busy and like high energy and like I've got so much to do. Maybe that's it. Maybe he's made he doesn't strike me. But his wife strikes him. He's made the equivalent of Lord of the Rings in the past few years. And so that's why he's so low energy because he's packed it all into these wonderful movies that are going to come out. So yeah, there you go. Your faces are red now. I really want the wisdom to tell me if he's eaten it.  The camera just pans the camera just pans off a little bit more and just like a box of Domino's pizza. I was like ehh ehh ehh ehh ehh ehh ehh This is to show that it's ehh ehh ehh ehh ehh horrible I'd eat more of it. Very busy. There's always something to do and it's been great to have fast. This is part of the the whole like the anecdote portion of the ad. You need to pitch it with an anecdote about yourself and why you need to do it. I'm not shilling for it because they paid me. I'm shilling for it because I use it and I need it. That's that's that's what the truth is. Yeah, that's right. I'll die if I don't eat. That's true. Damn. You can't prove that. Assuming he's not a cyborg. Well, no, he was a cyborg. He looked better than that. I mean well if he was a cyborg you'd have more of a lively speech pattern, I think. Yeah. The cyborg would try harder. I think they would know to fake. I think as well if he was a cyborg he wouldn't have aged and I'm just comparing the face before me with the face on his thumbnail. Or sorry on his his icon.  He's he's he's looks a bit different. He looks changed a bit. Help eliminate a lot of guesswork when it comes to meals. So head to factors75.com. What's the guesswork really? You're guessing about what you're eating?  Is he talking about the grocery store? I don't know. That looks like movie balls. But it's on the back of all the labels.

It'll say well yeah because the the box in the freezer that they deliver straight to your door code name stuckman50 is going to be the exact same thing as the packaging at the grocery store that tells you all the nutritional information.

When it comes to film in 2023 a long time mainstream movies didn't quite deliver in the ways that I hoped they would. Whoa being critical I see.  Welcome to the alt right. Pretty toxic I don't know. I feel like a hundred filmmakers just went oh wow my feelings damn. Okay. I worked so hard on this. My god. And that led to some disappointment. It led to a feeling of detachment from film this year. But how are you doing? You said you're not allowed to say that. How is this allowed? Yeah how is this allowed? Is it because he's not swearing that like that means that he isn't negative? You're shitting on creatives right now Chris. I don't like that. That's right. That's right. Damn it. I really say it's hard. It's really hard. All right I can't find out why they're called factor75. I'm looking around for the about us page at the bottom of the you know on the website and I'm looking for like oh we're factor75 because we think that 75 maybe that has. Ooh maybe you're right. Yeah factors. To a feeling of detachment from film this year but when I really sat down goes to Hello Fresh all the movies I saw in 2023 I realized there were a lot of gems. Yeah that doesn't change the original statement you made but okay all right. All right. Because of that I've decided to make this a top 15 list. Why did you make it a top 15 list? What? I mean each of them are getting less than a minute for sure now. 15 and yeah because of the ad. But we're almost three minutes in and he doesn't actually listed anything yet.  So it's an average of what? 40 seconds per movie? Is that much? It's more than a usual review. The outro as well. How long is the outro? He's got to stigmatize us. Damn.  Guys he's just here to make films. Okay. Film. I'm still waiting for him to make film. Make film but film. There's some garlum chicken. I thought it was 12. That's right. I don't know why I thought it was 12. Well maybe it was originally 12 but then he loved so many put 15 and then he left. I didn't follow him so I could. He left a bunch of the ones that he thought were good but not good enough in the honorable mentions. The pit. I can't wait to do this. I've got to hear his his top list now. Let's do it. Well you've only got 20 minutes before you'll have to go right? You have to leave us. Get through it, leave us. Every time I put it down to 10 there were like five other movies that I could waste more time. What? So what you're saying is 10 add 5. So you couldn't fit in 40 seconds each for your honorable mentions anymore? Nope. Was that too much hassle? Imagine making a video that was longer than 15 minutes. That would be nuts. Cringe. And I find it interesting too that he's describing this like it was a crazy adventure. Like I was coming up with my top 10 and lo and behold I had 15 entries. What? Wow. I've seen two of them and they don't belong in there. Now I know truly what it is like to be human. Well I'm going to have a video by talking about my really intensive process really slowly and then I just give each one a half a sentence. That's good.  Can we put this on double speed? Did Tom Wilkinson die? Yes he did. Yeah. Oh that's RIP. That's sad.  Is it? Yeah that's Yeah he's good. Unfortunately. Yeah Rock and Roller I recommend that too he's awesome in that. Yeah that's good. So here we go. Here we go. Number 15. Number 15. Here we go.  Play it in. Play it Johnny. Well so this will be fun. Who's seen Tsuzumi? I have. Tsuzum. Nobody's. Oh well. Chris tell us about it. Wait maybe he'll convince me. I've seen Tsuzumi. What was it like Chris? Was it good? It's okay. It's it didn't make any of my lists. I don't know. Not even top 15? No. First up is another.  So how many minutes are we at? We're three minutes and 14 minutes into a 14 minute video. And he's just starting his list. We're coming to a first of 15. That's right. It's StarCross romance for Mako. Tell me what StarCross means Chris. To Shinkai. Filled with dazzling sequences and state-of-the-art animation. Tsuzumi evoked emotions. So it looks worse than the old ones? Okay. Oh my god it's like an AI of Chris Stockman reading. It made him feel it made him feel emotions. Oh what kind of emotions? Maybe we'll get that hang on. Human ones. You want to go to human emotions? That's human. What emotions? Human. Two men. So state-of-the-art animation just means mixture of like CGI. Well that's the thing isn't it? It's like that state-of-the-art is just replacing really good. It sounds better than that. In me. Especially when you consider that the primary relationship involves a chair. Whoa, whoa stop everything. I have to see that movie. He talked me into it. Damn that was confusing. This is the problem is the problem is the people that watch him for whatever reason like he's got no incentive to put any effort into his videos because people just keep watching them.   It's not the condensed sorry but that review was this is a film by so-and-so that involves a chair. If he was my favorite creator and I would see this like okay now what? Should I watch it? Yeah this point. State-of-the-art animation involves a chair. I guess I'll just check it out. Yeah okay. All right I assume nobody here thinks this should be on anyone's top list. I haven't even seen it though. I am genuinely not surprised that this is on Chris Stockman's top list. I'm not surprised either. I'm surprised it's not higher. It's the rest is number one. It's a nice safe corporate approved opinion to have there Chris. Well let's get a 10 second story of Barbie. Here we go. I can't believe these tiles.  Why are we doing this? You could have doubled the review size. Barbie's a movie about a doll who comes to life and goes into the real world. Number 13. Some of the details. Oh whoa calm down. He doesn't usually go that deep dive. And it's now a part of the real world. This is the video version of padding an essay to make a word count. Yes. You're told exactly. You gotta write a thousand words. This is all he's doing. It's just padding. I get accused of that all the time. Chris Stockman never used college rule on his essays. That's for sure. Highest grossing movie of the year was technically based. Hold up. I just realized it's 2024 almost now. I need to explain the reference. All right. So notebook paper typically comes in two sizes which is wide ruled in college ruled. All right. College ruled the line.  More lines on the page with college ruled.  Back in the olden days when we used to have to Gary will understand the reference of paper. I will go or he's going to write things on paper at school. I remember he did. Some of us still use it. An old timey reference to paper. Now tell us about the onion you tied to your belt. Greta Gerwig's charming film did everything it possibly could to differentiate itself from the dolls origins to create something genuinely original. I've been saying this every day it possibly could. They couldn't have possibly done anything different to differentiate it to differentiate it from the brand of Bobby. That's not an observation. Which is not true. I was going to say I thought the whole political aspect of this movie was that it was heavily based. Yeah. If you're going to have a Bobby for this is kind of what you come close to envisioning. In fact this is part of the reason why I was like oh look at that. They did that. That's kind of cool. See how far they take it. And I was like oh wait. Maybe he's going to maybe he's going to shed more light on this. Maybe he's here. Well we'll halfway through the review. Can we do a genuinely original movie on a pre-existing property? We're three quarters of the way through the review actually. It's almost over. Right now it's a lie. Let Ryan Gosling perform at the Oscars. Hell give him one while you're at it. Oh that was that. They couldn't have done anything better. Give Ryan Gosling an Oscar. Give him an Oscar. No it couldn't have been that much. At the Oscars. I feel like the intro thing was like on a length of that. I actually think he's timed it so that he can use just one continuous piece of trailer footage and not get a copyright claim. Is that sure? My god. I am all the longer joy. I he did this on purpose. It's no way. So who here has seen Dream Scenario? I haven't seen it yet. I haven't seen it yet. I don't want to see it. It's very good. I want to see it. The trailer looked interesting. Isn't everyone's having a dream when Nicholas Cage is in it basically? Nicholas Cage infects everyone's dreams around the world without explanation and it's very... That's not a movie. That's just reality though. That's true. But it's the best Nick Cage movie this year because he releases like 15 of them. Well second best. They should do top 15 Nick Cage movies. That would be more exciting. Yes. He should have been in Bobby. This dumb t-shirt, if his mom bought him the t-shirt, I forgive him for wearing it.  Wait. Nicholas Cage or Chris Duck? Nicholas Cage has had an eclectic career that can't be characterized. No way. Chris, you've only been a fit of the review saying that Nicholas Cage has had a career.  We gotta go. We know that because when you say Nicholas Cage, we know who we're referring to. Everyone knows who Nicholas Cage is. And dream scenario will go down as one of his best roles. We live in an age where everyone has something to say about so-called cancel culture. Except you. But I've never seen it. This is an AI generated script. So succinctly and hilariously. Oh my god. Nothing about the performances. Nothing about the characters. It's like, this is so good. Next. I have to do it at all wrong. It's almost a meme. Like, this is what you'd do to make fun of it, but you wouldn't change anything. I don't like what I'm seeing on the screen right now, meal please. This could be the controversial one. If Stockman likes it, then it's good. I have a feeling we might be split directly like half and half for people who dislike this movie, people who like it. So it's all good, all right? I like it. Nothing is good right now.  I mean, I thought it sucked too. John Wick one. I don't care what you think. Wait, I liked it because I thought it was good. There. I've just done my stuff. Well, come down there. Eat your Keanu Reeves. Oh my goodness. That is my review. He didn't even say it's good. He just, it just implied because it's on the list. What do we think he's going to say in two sentences? He's going to say the action. He's going to mention the action. Keanu Reeves is an actor who starred in The Matrix. I think Keanu Reeves, yeah. And there was choreographed action. You can find a way to... Oh, he didn't mention the director of the last film, actually. So maybe you want to mention the director for John Wick. He couldn't. There was like a seven seconds take-up by the title screen.  Which I got to say, like, I don't know what it is, but there was like some weird distance between like this stock hype music and just like a still image that he pulled from Google, just like sitting stationary on the screen. There is like a weird clap there. He had like a very slight zoom out. Well, you know, so you get a real movement there. You just slide zoom out because I could barely tell. I was looking at the last one. I was like, is this zooming a little bit just to get a little bit of movement in there? I think the Barbie one moved slightly. Let's see how big the muzzle, like the flash, what's that? The muzzle flash. Yeah, there on the gun. Let's see how big that is. Which is odd that he has a suppressor and it's still showing muzzle flash, but that's right. Oh, wow. Hey, look, all right. Rags at cinematics. John Wick has always been hyper-accurate. And it's also really weird that the slide isn't being pushed back by the bullet being fired. That's fine. It's only a movie about guns. So whatever. Gun Foo. Gun Carter. I think you'll have you find a bulletproof suit. Yeah. So the bet is he's going to mention John Wick in the action. I don't think he's a director. I mean, he's going to mention Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves plays the actor. Oh, yeah. I'm not very good with everything. So is there anyone else? I guess. Oh, you might mention a blind dude, Donnie N, right? Yeah, maybe. Donnie N might be lucky enough to get a mention. Can you and Donnie are actors in this movie? Oh, it's soon. Oh, it's soon. Oh, it's soon. Okay. Never as they say. Oh, Donnie. Oh, Donnie. Oh, donnie. It's still going. It's still going. We're almost there, folks. Get ready. There you go. All right. The dissonance is dissipating. Keanu Reeves' major closed out as tenured as the god-mode hitman, responsible for some of the enormous kills ever put to screen. Not really. He's just really lucky that no one ever hits him. A masterwork of blood and bullets. John Wick 4 somehow bested each film that came before.  Take that back. Maybe means it made more money. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe means it. No. I think it means it's better than all of them. No. I think that's what it means. John Wick 1's supremacy. Yeah. Top-down sequence, as well as a treacherous trek up a staircase. No, don't mention the staircase.  The clown case. Like, I know that he's barely said anything, but he's already said more about this than all the other films. I was going to say, yeah. It still has only been Keanu Reeves' all-action. There's nothing else. Yeah. So he also has some specific details, though, about specific scenes. That's actually a fair point. He's in 10th breakdown right now. Not only that, he got the visuals from the trailer to match what he said. Well, he didn't really with the top-down bit, but, you know, okay. Well, that's a lot of work to ask now. Come on. Yeah. It's maybe because he watched this movie. I'm not sure he watched everything. He's awake to this one. Someone in chat just said John Wick dates the chair. There were too many gunshots for him to fall asleep. Yeah, Chris, is this all got a chair in it? Yeah. Yeah. Down it. It's a chair. We remember it as all-timers for the genre. He didn't mention Donnie Allen, I feel bad. Really? And he didn't mention the director, but it's an all-time. What's going on, Chris? Yeah, no direct mention. This was one of the movies of all time. Also, there was this one, buddy. This is pretty funny. So what's very funny, Dead Reckoning is in my, probably would be in my worst set of the films of the year, but probably still sits at number 20 of worst, but I really didn't like this. As a huge fan of Fallout, okay? It's crazy how much worse Fallout is so much better. It's so much better. Well, Dead Reckoning was, when we came out of watching it, we were like, hmm, and then when we finished our seven-hour look-through, we were like, good God. It's like, there's so much. Yeah, it just became worse and worse. Oh, he knows Christopher McQuarrie. He will mention that. Yes, he will mention that. He'll talk about Tom Cruise doing stunts. And the motorcycle stunt. He'll say like that it was like cinematic and epic. That would be like, if I had to guess, so there'll be three things to say. This movie was directed by Christopher McQuarrie. Oh, wow, Christopher. That's my name. That's very interesting. Tom Cruise, probably the biggest movie star in Hollywood, and he did a motorcycle stunt. Proving that action movies- Not if you sort them by height, though. It'll be funny if he says like, it's still rock solid and beloved or something when it's like, it had a really poor performance in the box office compared to what they wanted. I wonder if you'll help write that or not. Well, it's the point that changed the name of the second one, right? They're not going to call it dead reckoning part two. A final chapter. Oh, right. That's the whole thing. They're going to have to have to be accountable. You can't have part one in your cycle of the no pot. I know, I know. But it's like a marketing thing. If the first one didn't do so well, then part two is probably going to struggle, isn't it? They just try to scrub out the part one from all past like streaming it. You don't need to watch the last one. You don't need to watch it. You'll be fine. But how can they remove it? It's in the film like part one, the text in the title screen. Yeah. It's like the inverse issue of like, George, did you mean to make this Star Wars movie Episode four? Did you? Is that a typo there? They're like, no, no, no. Like I'm just three more years later. I'm going to have to drop out sadly before that the lights of this one. I'll never get to know for a second.  I hope you live. We'll love you. I honestly wish you. I wish you guys the best of luck getting through the rest of this video because I suspect you might need it. Good luck with your sanity. We can pull it off. Yeah, okay. Enjoy your, tell us. Tell us how your factor 75 was next. Yeah, I can't do it. I'll have undercooked chicken with some slop on top, please. Slop is the best part. Yeah. All right. Well, anyway, good luck to you guys and have a fantastic new year. Goodbye. Tom Cruise continues to push it to the limit with his signature franchise. Got to mention Christopher McQuarrie. Come on. His entry was not the mere perfection of fallout. This series is just so phenomenal that even a relatively good entry can still be ranked alongside the best action films ever made. The entirety. Relatively good. So there is an acknowledgement there that it's not, it's not quite up to snuff. It's not as good as fallout. Yeah, yeah. But that's the way he frames it now because it can't be critical. Finale is classic white knuckled grip your armrest tension. Bare knuckle? White knuckle.  Yeah, that's why you're like gripping so hard. I've never said that. I like, uh, right out of you white knuckle. From Chris Duckling.  What's that help doing? Out of movie people think of when they say they don't make them like they used to. As it turns out, sometimes they still do. Oh, wow. He didn't mention Chris Duckling before. No director. Yeah. That was that was mainly just action. And I assume that's what he's talking about when he says all that. That's three movies. Maybe the trend is not naming the director. I think is it only it's only whenever he has just two things to say on a one thing to say. Oh, what, like it's a sign of immense desperation when he names the director. Because yeah, like when he's like all I have to say is it's good. Not enough enough to say. Wait a minute. Who directed it? Oh, there we go. I'll say that. Ah, that's interesting. You got to name the DP. That's how you really convey that. We're in the film. Yeah, that's right. All right. Have you guys heard of cinematographers? I have. I'm a film guy. DP is director of photography. Right. Photography. That's right. Yeah. So shouldn't it be DF for photography? Well, no, because you would think it's something to think about. It's something to think about.  I think so. Something to think about.  So we're going to deal with it. Also, zone of interest Chris, have you seen this one? Yes, I have. What do you think? It's I mean, it's dark. It's really dark. So well, Chris will say that. It's about yeah. Well, it's it's it's basically about a German commandant who lives with his family side of Auschwitz. And yeah, I don't know.  It feels it feels more like an experimental film because you just see this family doing mundane, boring things, almost documentary like. And then the sound of the background is all of the sound of people being murdered inside Auschwitz. But the family is so, you know, immune to it. They just don't hear it. Oh, I don't know. I don't know how Chris name this novel, isn't it? Which is itself kind of experimental because you've got three narrators, multiple time skips. And it's Martin Ames who writes like voice novels anyway. So it's a tricky one to adapt, I guess. But but since the in the start of this review, though, I think I'll just say that the book was good and it made me feel stuff. Yeah, it's well, it's notable for its sound design, the film. I don't know, I'm surprised Chris Duckman is even mentioning this film. It seems beyond his capacity to understand. Well, considering zone of interest is the that what would Chris talk to me? Maybe the zone of boredom, the zone of disinterest. Nice. The zone of disinterest would probably be the the one to go for. Knowing that he within his scope of assessment, you get maybe a mention of something that happens, maybe a mention of something that is in there, like a character who directed it and who is acting in it. Which of those four will be mentioned here? Probably. It is, is it? What kind of feeling? There's no action in it. She's probably just going to mention it's harrowing, maybe, or has a lot to say. He'll say that's a lot to say. And what's the key word? And he'll be like, what does it have to say, Chris? He's like, a lot. Jesus.  Got a white mar in the bottom.  It turns to directing 10 years. All right. Director mentioned. After under the skin to deliver a searing and ultimately terrifying portrait of complicity, his voyeuristic camera captures a family that lives directly outside the walls of a concentration camp and watches from afar, never in close up, as they go about their lives, hearing the horrific sounds of death just mere feet away. It's the best sound design of the year and a film filled with shocking moments that will churn your stomach. Well, he said he had to say on any film so far. Yeah. Um, he's approaching like he's approaching bare minimum. I mean, yeah, like it's still it's still not much at all. I almost said what he said to the other ones. Like what about the sound? And I was like, no, no, no. Come on. He mentioned the sound design. That's enough. So I should start saying Chris Gore instead. The artifice girl. Have you seen this? I actually have not seen that. But also I object to just using the name Chris. It's giving Chris is a bad name. Can you just say Stuckman? I can. I get I will try. I think you're how many of your artificial girl movies have we had this year? I don't know. Like a lot. How many we have? Four things. I don't know. Creator. Was this out this year or was I last year? I'm a three again. Yeah. A year of artificial girls. Sounds like Hollywood. Just the three again. Is that the prequel to expend four bowls? That's on no one. I was going to say I'm starting to wonder if we were the only people on planet Earth that saw expend four bowls. Well we talked about it kind of. Expend four bowls was magical. Yeah. Everyone should watch our review of expend four bowls. We don't talk about the movie basically at all. We talk about Mortal Kombat and other things. I tried to bring it back, but it was like. But why would you? Why would you? I haven't stopped. You made the right choice. Newcomer Franklin Rich. New what? Director. Director. I got it. It is weird if he doesn't mention the director. It's like why didn't you? Yeah. Because now it comes back around to the trend being naming the directors. Indie movie. One that like clerks, El Mariachi, Primer, and even the Blair Witch project should inspire countless filmmakers to realize that it can in fact be done. His low budget film is one of the best scripts of the year. And although I find this word extremely over the year. That's number nine. Why do you need a why? He's done the what? Oh, yes. That's right. It is the best. One of the best scripts of the year. And it'll inspire many. You don't need to know why. I think he said the filmmaker was a friend of his. I think he said that in the past. Okay. Well, moving on then. Who was that? Let's enter into it. It is also timely. I was half expecting him to say but yeah. Okay. That's not what it is. It will inspire countless filmmakers that it can in fact be done.  What can be done from this film? Being countless. It is being. It is making a good low budget movie. Maybe. I don't know. Whoa. That's very generous of you. But yes, probably. I'm just guessing here. Right. Well, he's definitely mentioned. Well, yeah, how could this not get on the list? It's just like one of Leonardo DiCaprio's best performances or something like that as well. And it shows us that cinema isn't dead. Oh, will he mention Robert De Niro? Maybe alongside DiCaprio, maybe. Yeah, maybe, maybe. Scorsese has done it again. All right. Honestly, though, I think we've covered everything he's got to say but let's find out. Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro re-team with Martin Scorsese. It's an overlooked story of the Osage Nation and the murders that took place in the 1912. It was an anime in the Osage. Despite being surrounded by legends, gives an Oscar worthy performance. Yes. Scorsese once again directs like he's in his 20s. What does that mean? He does it again. All right. He didn't mention anything in broad matter even. We had to go. We just had to go. We had no time. Amazing animation and art. Miles Brown's story is incredible. Like it's an amazing Spider-Man arc. What else can you say? It's something with special effects, cutting edge technology. You're going to mention that it's full. Oh, wait. They didn't direct it. It was they were producers. No. Do you think you'll go as far as to say it shows that animation can make it in the boat? Or do you think that's too much right now? Well, yeah, that one's complicated because on the one hand, that could be something that he could say that would be silly. Like I'm just telling him of like where he's at when it comes to animation.  But what's funny is, I thought Kills of Flower Moon was going to get more time. But now I'm like, because we're, you know, we're coming down. We're running out of time. But I guess it means that it is going to get a lot better. I was going to say, in a way, we're getting more time because he's going through them so fast. He's racing through them so fast that now we're halfway. So I think it was about three minutes that he started actually listing. It was like three minutes and 15 seconds. That means in three minutes he's covered, he's covered seven films, right? He had a top-level film. You're right, yeah. So, yeah, the rest of the film is getting more time now. Okay. Interesting. Unless the outro is really long. Don't forget Factor 75. It's gotten the most info of anything else. I mean, I paid for it. So the best superhero movie of the year by far. I mean, what is the competition this year? Competition is not great. The Marvels, Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy 3. I guess it is. I'm trying to think what would have beaten it. It should have helped me out. The Flash, no. Come on. Oh, it goes without saying. But I mean, apart from that. Aquaman 2, no. Black Adam wasn't this year. It's all a blur. I don't blame y'all. It's all a blur. Yeah. Superhero movies sometimes. Rebel Moon. Rebel Moon. Yeah. It basically is a superhero movie. Yeah. All right. Well, yeah, I can agree with that. Spider-Verse took everything great about the first film and cranked it up to 11. They made it worse. Yes, cranked it up to 11. Superhero Fatigue could not be escaped. The team behind the Spider-Verse movies proved that there's still plenty of life left in superhero movies. I'm surprised you went in that direction instead of animation. I can't talk about it. Yeah. I think superhero movies aren't the easiest thing. Yeah. Yeah, they'll say this year went well with 20 that blocked.   You can just breathe.  Oh, wow. That's critical.  That's true. Chris, no. Chris, what are you doing? You can't do that. You should say stuckman, no, sorry. Yes, please. Don't use the word, Chris. You can't stuckmanize them all as ones. Geez. Maybe the rest were good, but this was damn good. This one definitely establishes that Miles Morales is Miles Morales. He just said it was. You know, he didn't actually explain why you thought it was good. The next sentence has to be about how good the animation is. No way it doesn't matter. No, it's over. It's over. It's the easiest take. It's the easiest take. He hit him. Oh my gosh. God. What? Did he not mention the animation? Am I crazy? He didn't mention the animation. No, he didn't. He kind of like, he kind of said something about the animation. Are you sure? I think he did. I think he said like animation maybe. I could have sworn all he had to say about it was the fact that it was a superhero movie that did well. Yeah. He said that it was dialed up to 11 and that would be an umbrella term that might put an animation. Let me roll back 10 seconds so we can watch the whole review again. Okay. Oh, it's a little bit longer than that. Oh, where are we? Yeah, this is right. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. The best superhero movie of the year by far. Spider-Verse took everything great about the first film and cranked the dial to 11. In a year where the term superhero fatigue could not be escaped, the team behind the Spider-Verse movies proved that there's still plenty of life left in superhero movies.  You didn't mention it. No animation then. Oh, my God. Damn. Yeah, I really did.  I'm pretty sure that the animation for it is culturally super impactful. You can see it affecting other films. I can't believe you wouldn't mention that. I think the easy... When we're almost insulting that was predictive, what he's going to say, what we're referring to are the easy accepted takes. So when he forgets to put them in, it's like, what are you doing, man?  Why doesn't he just read the titles and just read off his titles? He's still cuckin' over.  The movie has ever been a warm hug. Alexander Payne's The Holdovers is the entry. Paul Giamatti plays the most lovable curmudgeon this side of Hugh Grant and Harrison Ford. And when I'd reached the end of the film, I could have watched these characters for another 30 minutes just go about their lives. You know, when people make those sorts of statements, they don't usually say for 30 minutes. I know, that's really odd. I've got 30 minutes at the limit. I could have watched it so much, but I want to see more on that. But I'll be 30 minutes. No one misses the end. I think this is the end. I think as soon as we hit play, is it going to be the music? Before that, though, I was just going to say, like, you know, the Avengers Age of Ultron, a lot of people say the best part of that movie is when they're just hanging out, having drinks in a dark tower. And a lot of people say, like, yeah, if you have the dialogue strong enough, we could just watch them do that for a whole movie. You don't usually go like, I could watch that for 30 minutes. You're like, okay. I could go like five more minutes with these people. I love them so much. 35 minutes would be pushing it, though. Yeah, come on now. We've all got things to do. They described Harrison Ford as a lovable commudian. Is that true? Like, is it lovable?  That's really cute. Maybe he's talking about what we're talking about. What's the day? What was it? Was it that movie where he played the news anchor guy? Oh, Morning Glory. Have you seen that? Morning Glory. I have seen it. I liked that. I thought it was funny. I liked it, too. We should watch it sometime again, because, yeah, the premise of that movie, I think, is that Rachel McAdams takes over a sector of a news station, and she wants to move Harrison Ford, who's like the weatherman, and has been for, like, decades into more active news, and he doesn't want to. And, you know, conflict happens. I remember that being fun. Winter vibes. Okay, he's still having what to say. Conversations brought tears to my eyes. Ah, there it is. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bye. Bye. Bye. What is that? This is a film that I actually want to see. I've heard a couple of people recommend it so far. Is anyone, someone here is going to be better? Well, Chris Cole, you can go ahead and summarize what this film's about, right? Because you've seen it, I think. Oh, I have not seen. The Holdovers is one of the few films this year. No, no, no. American Fiction. American Fiction. Oh, yes. Okay. Sorry about that. I have seen American Fiction. It's awesome. It's it's in limited release. It's only playing in theater. I don't know when it opens. Why? But it's it's very good. It's it's basically really rips on white progressives. So well, like just how they thought this, right? He writes a book as a joke, and then it turns out to be really successful. That's correct. Yeah. So he he just sort of leans into, well, I guess this is what white liberals want. So I'm just going to like do what they want and write. And it's he just does it yet to sort of f with them. And then it becomes a huge hit. And so sort of stuck with this persona that becomes huge, but it's not what he really wants to write. Yeah. He doesn't want to be put in the box. The trailer sold me. I want to see it. Yeah, no, it's very good. It's very good. These aren't even necessary. You could just say number five is then say it. Then still explain it. You don't need this. I'm getting tired of hearing the same like seven seconds. Yeah, dude. Like I am stock music. I've been tired of that. I've been like at nine. This guy wants to make films, huh? First time director. He's an expert in pacing, Gary. Director, Kord Jefferson teamed with Jeff Wright to bring us an eye opening, but also hilarious look at how Hollywood loves to put artists in boxes and keep them there. In this case, how the establishment is profiting from black artists. And even silencing them under the guise of lifting them up. One scene where a group of writers are judging the quality of books for a contest gave me my biggest laugh of the year. Why? Oh, what? Oh, Jesus Christ.  All right. Well, I mean, I feel like our casual thoughts about like, I have, I've only seen the trailer and I feel like we talked more about what the movie is. Well, it's just, I don't know.    Or, you know. You would think that, but doesn't he have like Mike Flanagan reviews at like seven minutes long? It's like, it's my favorite thing ever. Oh, yeah. Is it? I think it wasn't like the Haunting of Hell. I asked one, like, which one was it? I don't know. I want to say this. You can go and confirm it, but I'm pretty sure his review of the TV show at 10 episodes that are an hour each per episode is four and a half minutes. Yeah, let's take a look. How? Yeah, it was four and a half minutes, exactly four minutes and 29 seconds. How is that possible? How can you book about 10 episodes of television in any way that's meaningful in like four and a half minutes?   Like the second minute will be who made it, what he's made before. I'm talking about Steve there, because like if you like race and just try to jam it with as much stuff as possible, maybe, but even then, probably not ideal. That'd be an interesting challenge, wouldn't it? Review as extensively as possible, something huge within like a minute. Hey, four minutes and 29 seconds is as close to exactly four and a half minutes. You're gonna get it, right? Unless it was actually four minutes and 30 seconds, but in spirit, look, right, in spirit was that good. I understood. I was there. Stop. I know, right? Like I keep pausing. What is she looking at? What's up there? That's the nature of the marketing. You've got to buy and watch the film to find out what she's staring at. Oh, I'm not that interested. Definitely Emma Stone. I don't know. Probably director as well. He's gone back. Oh, definitely. Yes. You'll say it's a wacky take. It's a really inventive and creative film. It's going to challenge people's perceptions of stuff. Maybe I've gone too far with that. I don't think he's going to maybe once say that. It'll make you think about stuff. The thing is, surely now these should start getting longer, but they've not really increased in size. Maybe save it once for number one. That's what she said. I wanted him to keep going a bit more with his American fiction review. I feel like there's a little bit of relative depth there. Like he had a point about writers being put in a box and executives just want the same thing over and over. Well, to be fair, surely he could. A successful person. I thought that was interesting. Well, you could go on about every one of these films. Just a little bit more. Yes, that's true. Yeah. Just saying that one in particular stood out to me. It's like, oh, you got something there. Oh, we're on the next one. I guess there's nothing.  I'm just going to say Chris. I'm going to do it. You know who I'm talking to. Chris, I assume you were interested in seeing this more so to see what his selection was. But at this point, the selection is not very interesting because of the fact that his approach to it, describing why any of these films are meaningful. It's kind of just like, you know what I mean? He literally has no insight whatsoever. That book that you purchased, which I'm shocked, but that book is made the rounds at the Film Threat White Elephant Gift Exchange for years. I got stuck with it. I just mailed it to as because I do not want that book. Well, see, Harry, you throw this away.  Yes, please do. No, it's a joke. This is book piracy. All right, I gave you my address. Are there any shocking selections in that book when you flip through and see if it's the most basic? We're doing that next because it means bringing all the lists. I assume you do as well, but the world doesn't know yet. So. Oh, I don't have the book anymore. Oh, I have it. We'll be fine. I'll take care of you. Oh, my God. Chapters look so short.  They're longer than this video's chapters. Oh, that's exactly weird. Weird. I never thought I'd see Emma Stone as a variation of Frankenstein. So I'd like to thank your ghost, Lanthimos, for giving that to me. She's likely to secure a second Oscar win for this, but it's honestly Mark Ruffalo who impressed me the most here. He's staggeringly funny. And didn't he say something?   You took the money. Well, sign the contract, my dude. Also, how were you stuck? They never made a Hulk movie again. So... Yeah, he comes in for like a day. Then he leaves. I was stuck working two days a year to a scene for She-Hulk where they destroyed my character. They gave me this big check and I just said yes and did it. I just couldn't go. Crazy. If only there was something else I could have done. Completely different from anything we've ever seen from him before. And the film is absurdly gorgeous looking with wonderful costume design and sets. Oh, I don't know what's about it yet though. Some of them are always like supplies. 25 seconds. Yeah, well. I timed it 25 seconds. He talked about that. Wow. He's the big one, folks. Pretty long. Everyone loves this movie. Let's see if he impresses you with his assessment of this film. Gonna stall any minute now. Here it comes. Without a doubt, the biggest surprise of the year for me. A stunning, emotionally powerful and downright thrilling film, Godzilla minus one, proved that not only is there still life left in our favorite Kaiju franchise, but after all these years, they could make what just might be the best one yet. When that Godzilla theme. Can you deliver that any more? Right? After all these years, we finally have the Kaiju. It's my favorite one. We don't even know if it is his favorite one. What he said is it might be the best one. You're like, could you maybe?  I need to slow down. I'm convinced he went to chat GPT and was like, give me the list of all the good movies this year and just like he gave him a list. He's like, here's the thing though. I think only a human is capable of this level of boring.  So we just just things that read out stuff that you put in. They're like pretty expressive these days already. So but yeah, we should have done our predictions because of course he said like it's stunning. It's emotional. It is a good movie.   So I guess we didn't think it was over anyway. I assume that because they made a lot of money and everyone knows Godzilla, they would keep making them. Isn't there also the implication there? Like if the that he thinks that the Western ones are kind of like not that good. That's how that's new stuff. But he doesn't say things are bad. He just doesn't say they're good. And that also implies they're bad. That's well, that's the key to a good reviewer is trying to interpret what they mean by what they don't say. That's what I like in a reviewer. Kicked in. I felt like this movie is not only adjective one, but also it is also maybe adjective three. Well, let's not go that far. We're not going crazy. What's up, man? Dude, you just want to get him drunk. Just see what he might say. You'd be like, come on, Chris. Give me an opinion.  Come on. Do you think about making YouTube videos?  I would love it if he said, you know what? You know what? Blade Runner is bad. Let's go, Chris. Overrated. Say that into the microphone. How many times did he need to watch it before he said he liked it? Was it like four times? I believe it was five. Why? How does that happen? I don't know. I just find that really funny. It's exceedingly funny. I mean, I kind of understand like after a first watch through. He said staggeringly funny. Like after a first watch, I was like, maybe I didn't get it properly. I give it another shot. After the second one, we'll be like, okay, I still don't like it. It's fine. Like what was your thought process? I say, okay, I give it another go. And another one. You're supposed to like it. That's what motivated him to do it. It's a film you're supposed to like. So he had to keep watching it until it's like, ah, oh, oh, yeah, yeah. I get it. I get it. Yeah, I get it now. The funniest thing would be like, I kind of always got it. I just couldn't put it into words. Yeah, you know, I always did, but I wasn't there yet. And that's just a testament to Ridley Scott's excellent direction. And how are the tracks? Watches Blade Runner. And he's like, yeah, that's kind of, I'm kind of mixed on it. Did he watch the same version? Or did he watch like a different version? He watched because it can make a difference. Also, Rags, we can talk about that at some point. Please let's do. I rewatched it, I think a week or so ago. And I came out with kind of mixed feelings. I liked it, but it's kind of mixed on it. We can, we can discuss. Always happen to watch Blade Runner again. But hey, I just, I way prefer that. But I watched it. I have opinions, but I'm not going to tell you what. I saw a funny scene. Yeah, Howard. It was funny. Just on it, like if you didn't like it, that's again, it's more interesting. It's interesting like it is. There are people out there who can be like what you consider obnoxious and terrible opinion, but I'll always consider the more interesting than the people who have every approved opinion you could ever imagine. And then like you find out, they do actually have controversial and very specific opinions, but they just don't want to tell anyone about it. It's like, oh.  You go, what a, geez.  He said he's talking about me. Real cinema with a giant monster. Wait, sorry. Did he say real cinema? Go back. I want to hear that. I want to hear that. The old Venom. I love how he said giant monster, and then it just ended. You have to bet you have giant lizard. Come on. Like I was speaking of giant lizard. Chris Stuckman everyone. No, I'm just talking over it. You got to go back again. I'm sorry, I couldn't stop them. Freedom of speech. So the theme kicked in. I felt like I was watching real cinema. I don't know, I feel like that's really funny, but I mean, again, isn't the implication there that like the most thing, most everything else is not real cinema. Yeah, that's real keynote. By the way, which, by the way, I've with the Western Godzilla films, like these new ones, they're not good. Like, I don't like them at all. But you know, by the way, he's allowed to do that. If we had him here right now and we said define real and cinema, he knows in his head, he'd be like, I can't do that because I'm going to eventually get to the point of saying that other things aren't those. Exactly. I might say something that verges on committal. Yeah, well, yeah.  Like, Chris, I mean, I'd be saying Chris and then clapping. It's like, okay, at least you expressed how you actually do it. It would be a, it would make the channel so much more interesting if he was willing to say these things. But no, he said he's even more boring than he was just years ago because of the whole, the new format of like, I can't be critical. Well, it's a channel that has zero insight and zero original ideas.  If you get rid of the lines about the Kaiju, then all you're left with is it's stunning, it's emotionally impactful. It proves that films can be good if you do them right. And you can just apply that to every single thing he's covered so far and you wouldn't have to change anything. Well, I mean, you can, that was what he did for Spider-Man. He didn't even mention the thing that was expected to be mentioned of it. The animation. Like the good animation. He just said it was good because it was good and it proves that good movies can be good. Anyway, move it on. Anyway, well, we've got how much left? Like a third of the video. Got two left. A third of the video for two of them. I guess he's going to give a long review. Going to be a little outro. It's going to be the sponsor. He's going to talk about the state of cinema, maybe. We'll start because with Oppenheimer. Because Oppenheimer's next. So Christopher Nolan, killing Murphy's best performance. Yes. Practical effects. Stake bomb. Freed in the Vietnam bomb. Yeah, practical effects, maybe. That it shows. It's easy to say it has to show something about the mattress cinema. Yes. He could pick from a couple of things. Who would have thought that an R-rated biopic would? So it would almost make a brilliant dollar. You know what? When you captured there as well, you could have a normal person who would be like, who'd have thought? Like that kind of energy. But he'd be like, who would have thought? A thing would have occurred in such a way. I cannot believe it. Giant monster. Giant monster. Stop it! Is this one another one? It went free. Just two mole-bells. We can do it. Christopher Nolan wrote and directed a three-hour biographical... Yes! Yes! Oh, why did he do it? Thank you. And with no CGI shots. Oh, yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh, my God. He used to pull in almost $1 billion. Yeah! We can write these. We can do it, guys. We did it. Oh, God. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Chris, where's your videos? Oh, Chilly and Murphy do it. Chris, we all chat GPT for you now. We've done it. We went in our day and age of franchise-dominated filmmakers. Chilly and Murphy should get the Oscar for his intense portrayal. Wow. And with any luck, Nolan will walk away with a statue or two. Well, I'd be saying he should get an Oscar, then. Surely he's basically saying... Yeah, that's very close to the same statement. When it comes to my never-one pick of... Not sure if it'll qualify. That's it. Wow, that's it. That's it. We actually... We got everything that he said. Nailed it. Nice. Yep. All right, it depends on what is... Wait, what is number one B now with everything? That's probably something that makes him look good. It's certainly not the killer. That wouldn't be his number one. The Marvels. Some people say, Bobby, he's done Bobby. Bobby was the creator already. The creator? Oh, the killer. Maybe? I don't think he'd pick one. The killer would be based. Well, no. Because his review is not that like... Even by his stand, it's double passion. No, it's not very high. Rebell Moon. Rebell Moon. Rebell Moon. Is it going to be like some indie film that no one's ever heard of? It can't be Mario. Is someone saying Boy into Heron? No, no, that was an insurmountable mention. Oh, yeah, that's right. I think we're done. I think we're done with mainstream films. I think it's actually done with mainstream. I think it would be like... Okay, I think the... Yeah, those suggest... So I think the most likely... Ironclaw could be death of everything else. It can't be like, as was mentioned, it can't be a movie that did really well and is really well known. It can't be franchise. That can't be number one. So the killer could be it, and it could be Ironclaw as well. That's true. Extraction 2? No, I don't think you would pick that. Napoleon? I don't think you'd pick Napoleon. That should have been the last consideration possible. No way. I don't think so. Not for the best movie. Extraction 2 was good. I like that. Extraction 2 would suspect the killer. Yeah, it was great. All right. I'm not expecting the killer. I'm expecting it to not be that. I don't... Genuinely? I don't know what it's going to be, because I... Yeah, no idea. It could be anything, kind of. Because if you would have asked me at the beginning, I would have probably said Oppenheimer or something around those lines. If you would have asked me in the beginning, I would have said Killers of the Flower Moon. I would have thought you'd put us number one. I thought Oppenheimer was number one, because I'm just here for the memes, so I wouldn't pay attention to the numbers. Expendable balls. Let's do it. I didn't know what it was until a couple of weeks ago. Oh, it was a week ago that he discovered, so it wouldn't be the killer. It would be Ironclaw. Yeah. I had no clear pick in my mind, like I did last year, or the year before it. I just didn't... Do you understand... Okay! The Stuckman. I can't stop. This is fact. You can cut all of this. Yeah, you could just... No, I need to hit that 12 minutes or whatever. Wait, so is the film that he's picking Ken out recently? Yeah, which would be Ironclaw. That would make sense. Ironclaw is not mainstream in the same way, and it's not franchise. As soon as you see that one. Okay, but... I really went back and forth in my head to see what movie would make me look coolest. Why would he need to be going back and forth? Wouldn't it just be that Oppenheimer was his number one until... Yeah, yeah. I mean, if he came on the press tomorrow, and then that would be number one, that's how it has to be for me. He would probably try to be like, I need to pick a number one that looks awesome, but like Oppenheimer is too mainstream. Everyone knows Oppenheimer. I can't pick Oppenheimer. Gotta be something else. Yeah, I know. The year had a lot of movies I loved, but none that really stood out to me until I really started this thing. Yeah, this doesn't make sense at all. He's mentioned how they all stood out to him. Yeah. Yeah, that was longer than any of his reviews. That is pretty funny. It's just I like, oh yeah, I liked a bunch of them, but none of them stood out. It's like, you understand that's negative, right? No. You understand this is your top 15 list, so they all of these stood out to you. They're on your top list. Negativity is just positivity turned upside down, so. That's so notable that you mentioned them and you mentioned honorable mentions. That's how I also, I agree with you.  Aquaman 2 really captures the nature of... It really highlighted the path of superheroism. Environmentalism. It goes to show us that superheroes when done right. I'm at things with their brothers. Think about it, and I realized that without a doubt, my number one pick was the movie that did everything I want a movie to do. Okay. What? The first slam dunk. I never heard of this. Hey, but that's just a prize, isn't it? Nobody guessed that. That's the most interesting one so far. Wait, Chris, have you seen this? I have not seen it, but it did open thing. It did open theatrically briefly, because we'll get animated one of the theaters I go to. I, you know what? A friend of mine saw it. He said it was fine, but he wasn't super pumped about it. So you know what the problem is? How does this change your world, everybody? Well, I haven't even heard of this film.  So, duh, duh, duh, and then outro. That's what's going to happen. We've got so much video. What is he going to do if he doesn't review this? Nothing of interest. Can we do something else? Yeah, I think all this book is coming. It's got three minutes to talk about this movie that nobody guessed. I know. Yeah, I haven't even heard of this film. I didn't even know it existed. Yeah, never heard of it. So this goes to show Chris is much more of a filmaholic than I am. Like this, this actually says, okay, tell me why you would like, why would I? About my king. My movie king. My captain, my king. My captain. My captain, my captain. Oh, God. You should have played the extended special version for number one. This guy wants to be a director. This guy really wants to be a director. Yes. This goes on for like two minutes.  Jesus Christ.  That would be so cool. I can't say that this film was a surprise because I had zero expectations for it. The anime and manga have a passionate fan base, but it never reached the popularity of juggernauts like Demon Slayer or Dragon Ball Z. I went to see the film because I try to see anime and theater whenever I get the chance. I truly did not expect to experience such an emotionally evocative film. I didn't expect to cry. I didn't expect to feel my adrenaline skyrocket. And I certainly didn't expect for it to be my favorite film of the year. What do you think it looks like when his adrenaline skyrocket? I don't know.  He does that thing where he like, he doesn't get up, but he lifts up his arms slightly and looks around and is like, is everyone else feeling that? Wow. Maybe his eyebrows move. Oh, calm down. I had a human feeling. I was imagining Bill Bailey in Black Books where he shirts off, he's jumping on top of a car. Oh, dude, Simpsons reference. It's like when Mr. Ben's heart beeps, beeps, beeps, but... Heart burps. Heart burps. That's what, that's what Boogie's heart does. Oh, does another man do burp. The only reason his heart keeps pumping is because it thinks it's eating blood. I think I'm going to go. Is this like rotoscope? That's what I was thinking. It looks like that. It looks like it's like 3D animated and then they have like 2D over it or something. Yeah. No, that's definitely rotoscope. Yeah, it is rotoscope. Hey, that no other film this year gave me the laughs, tears, and thrills that this film did. Repenting himself. You already told us it was like the best emotional stage. He said it made him cry and that it made his adrenaline go high and then he said like that. What did he just say? The thrills and like sadness, laughs and yeah. Now he just needs a horror. That's all we got left. Can you just tell me why though? No, that's for you to discover. I'm so angry. You see the movie yourself. Yeah, because like guys in terms of pitching the films of me, all I know is that it's like an animated film about basketball, but I don't like the premise of the story. Imagine you see him for the very first time you watch his thingy there. It's like it made me feel this and this and this like okay, but why? Like I don't know you. Is that good or bad? Like it's your number one, but what does it matter to me? That's what he's counting on. Like that's what he's counting on. The fact that he said that he liked it means that that should matter to you because if you like what he typically likes, even if you don't necessarily share the same reasons, that's enough. Yeah, but I'm saying if you're like a completely new viewer to his channel.  If you were here, the channel then yeah, you're totally out of luck. Yeah, that's what I was going for. Out of luck. Well, so Thea's choosing to highlight the arms of the creature in the bottom right. I find that abusing as a comparison. I mean, it sounds exactly like on like the Hollywood Reporter articles. If you have somebody read the the voice, read the article to you, it sounds just like that. Yes, I use that all the time. A coming of age story and a tragedy all in one. I'm sure. Whoa, whoa, coming of age, right? So coming of age, that's one thing. Then they have the tragedy aspect and another thing. And there's those two things. But in one.  Yes, he can't handle the quality. Now you can make a factor 75 meal. Like really. Slightly less dramatic terms anyway.  Like that's pretty common, right? Of trying to get the balance of comedy and drama, entertainment and, you know, sadness in the so many emotions. I mean, half of this just comes across as though it is a review of any film. We're just telling you what they're about, you know, doing the cliff notes version of what would be back on the of the Blu-ray. That's pretty much what he did. It's not just two background characters just looking exactly the same. Different hair. There you go. Oh, OK. Slightly different. I don't really care for the animation of this. I'm just going to be honest. I'm not sure. I need to see more of it in its natural habitat. Yeah. Then chopped up. So I don't know what it, you know, I mean, so when you get the chance, check this one out. But why tell me why? Metal. He told you why. Because he didn't.  I want to kick his baby. I did. We all want to kick. Don't do that. That's not special. Don't worry. We don't have one here. All right. Don't do it. I can get a bit.  He pissed himself. You need to watch this movie. It's so funny. I don't believe it though. Chat, you can see where we are. That that's the end. Yeah. So we got all this. And I say sorry. In any. I was going to say. I'm guessing that he's not even with that. All right. Two minutes. It will be like a summary of twenty three. Yeah. Tell us. It was a really great year. Ups and downs. You know. There was a lot of luck. But there was still good movies. But really it's not. Yeah. Exactly. It's not. Not like when he made that video where he was talking about all of his concern about. Yes. Yes. Filming an industry ride. But he's allowed to do it. Well let's see what he says. Come on Chris. And tell me. The audience if you're not afraid to be challenged at a movie like I you know I am. Then you can still enjoy cinema. My number one pick of the year is a movie that I feel like I have to show people. Top Gun Maverick was that way for me. Oh then maybe make a full video on it. I wanted everyone that I loved to see that movie and to appreciate it. I don't even want to say more about them. The first slam dunk I feel very similarly about. I want everyone that I love to have fun with that movie because I really do think. I want everyone that I love. Come on man. Sound like again I was saying the cattle prod idea if he sets that up in the back on automatic remind him Wake him up once in a while. Yeah when you talk about the people you love you want to be a little bit more energized. Do you mean like a cattle prod like that's what that just swings back and forth and zaps him or like a cattle prod that he needs to duck out of the way every time it comes down. So just keeps him on like high alert the whole time. You know a system of gears that just eventually just pushes it forward brings it back. You gotta randomize it. You can't expect it coming. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Play that What's it the Rube Goldberg machine. Yeah. Yes. I mean like that. And it's not like that. But for a lot of cattle prods to wake him up every now and then first tell us. Sorry. Stuckman tell us about him. Looks like he has plenty of it. He didn't review Dila Destiny. He must have. Yeah. I'm sure he did. Right. Drew is very like positive. He was probably like Harrison Forge. Hasn't skipped a beat since much as decades ago. It leaves you in a great place of joy. And it wills you at the same time. And it's very there it is. Thrills about basketball. There we go. It's funny again. Love that. I mean it's not already. Yeah. There was a scene I laughed at. It has a motion. It has plot and characters and emotions. The newest super chat grandpa. I want you to watch this Japanese anime about basketball. I just love you so much. And watch my squad get killed on Iwo Jima to watch no Japanese basketball movie. His grandpa even calls him stuckman stuckman.  You got to wake up boy. Extremely underrated despite having an immaculate rotten tomato score.  I got a immaculate rotten tomato score. Rotten tomatoes. Oh my god. The rotten tomato score. Every time. It's so high. Every time that gets brought up. Like I said. Wait, wait, wait, wait. 2022. Hold on. It's a 2022 movie. Oh my god. What? What?  I wasn't released. You lied. Or. Or. Unless it wasn't released. Wasn't released in America in 2023. That could be it. Yeah. Maybe. Still a 2022, right? Would that count? Ah. Well at that point that's dealer's choice. Kind of. I'm so excited. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. All right. What's apparently came out on the 3rd of December 2022. But. Hmm. That's a 2022 movie. Yeah. Yeah. That would be 2022. That's on my track. Well. Yeah. I didn't recall it's my best movie so 2023. Just the best movie so 2023. People send the other anime. Lord of the Rings. Outwards. Wings again. 20th year in a row for me. Yeah. That one came out in 2022. The other. The Suzume. Yeah. That says 2022 in Wikipedia as well. I mean I would be inclined to believe that it got. Re-released in the area that he's in or something because that's a really weird mistake for him to make. Yeah. Well because I remember people kept telling me Puss in Boots is 2023. It's like wait I thought it came out it came out on December 2022. So. Yeah. Okay. Well. That's why it was the movie of the year last. And on the note of we're on tomatoes. I remember Black Panther had a perfect rating until a guy gave it just under fresh because he didn't like the action in it and everyone wanted to kill him. That's normal. It's so funny. Like taking any stock. I will say right. I'm of two minds. No stock in the meaning of Ron Tomatoes tomatoes. But. I do always want to know it just out of curiosity because it'd be like what does it mean for a movie you're anticipating that gets 100 or 50 or zero. And it's like you know nothing. But at the same time I just want to know what's the number out of curiosity. When Rebel Moon hit zero with top critics. That's pretty funny. I mean like you can use that. Box score. A great IMDb score. Everybody who sees this movie loves this movie. It's just kind of everybody. All right. Man you could have told us why it was good instead of saying everybody you I know likes it. Oh. It looks like he's about to touch his grandpa like that. According to a good old Wikipedia this is the fifth highest grossing Japanese film of all time. Why could he could have said that. Yeah. I've got. Well it's. Yeah. See he's about to say nobody like that nobody watched it. Sounds like a lot of people watch that actually. I the fact that it's an anime.  That is like the only reason he's. Right. But I guess. Make it look cool. In the air and then because that one was getting more attention in the West. Yeah. Because it's Miyazaki movie. Or about the other one that you saw. So Zume that was because I'm seeing here that says it's number four in terms of most successful. I honestly think that as long as he puts this is number one way he can mix and matches the rest. Yeah I suppose. Yeah. Really knew. Number one is reserved for something super obscure in the West. So people will think like. Oh wow. This guy. This Chris guy. Yeah. I mean Stuckman. Stuckman. See some North Korean indie movie. Also it came out around the height of Barbenheimer and a lot of movies got buried by that. And I feel like this one because I still. I'm not fully convinced by that as a phenomenon like. No I'm getting tired of people saying that like people keep saying mission impossible should have moved. It's like dude fallout made eight hundred million dollars. It is an established franchise that made a lot of money and was consistently making more money as time went on. They had ever believed that they were the ones who were going to succeed. Not the other way around. I don't remember. At least anyone. As well. Say in man. I was going to see mission impossible but once I mean can I really fit that in. I've got to see Barbenheimer. I don't think that's a thing. Dead Reckoning was so amazing that everybody was like talking about how amazing it was and sharing it with everybody. And they wanted to go see it again. It would have succeeded more than it did. And it did have. Okay. Weird of mouth. People did talk about it. It's didn't last that long. It was the opening weekend of the series. It started out incredibly strong. It's not like it was a film that got buried in terms of like initial exposure. It's people watched it the first weekend. But then afterward. Just remind me was. I guess I don't want to demand of you the specific dates. But was Barbenheimer running before or after? After. Mission impossible came after a week before. See. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. It's post-hoc. Like it's after what's happened that people are like, well, that's the reason why. When I think the simple one is it's just not that good of a film. It didn't make that much impression on people. I do want to accept like just because you know we've done an assessment.  And we do believe that that plays into even the average audience member's enjoyment of it. We genuinely do.  I was about to say really good. Is that accurate? Did it do really good? By what? Sorry. Guardians 3. Guardians 3. Yeah. Yeah. It did like 850 million dollars. Yeah. Which is better than every other. Relatively good compared to a lot of other things. Yeah. Yeah.  But I'm convinced that if a fallout level movie came out as in Mission Impossible fallout that I reckon I don't know. I think Mission Impossible would have been fine. I just don't understand how we can look at a sequel to a film that made like over 800 million dollars and say shit's not money. Yeah. All of which of them to not move out of the way again, as Chris Duffman even pointed out, the three hour long R rated biopic the Barbie movie was always going to make money. I don't know if anybody expected to make as much money. The marketing for the Barbie movie is almost like worth just checking out on its own because it's so impressive like what they did. Which by the way, I didn't experience any of that marketing really beyond trailers.  They made a Barbie house. They made a giant Barbie statue, I think as well. Put on Zillow. To be fair, that Barbie house already existed. They just repainted it. Yeah. Bring the mood down. Who's smart? You know?  But yeah, no, the that was the best marketing since Black Panther that convinced an entire country that they made a whole continent. Yeah. You're racist if you don't see it. Like, oh man. You don't see it.  So. Not again. Right. What has he got left to say? This is one of those gems of the year that throughout the years especially anime fans are going to look back on and be like, yeah, that one was special. Guys, it has been amazing.  A lot of stuff has happened. You said that already. Wow. You said it ages ago, though. It was like 10 minutes ago that he said that. It wasn't longer for us, but I still remember. It's funny. There are moments in my scripts where I'm like, that was actually five hours ago that I said the thing. So I might repeat it now. Just in case you guys have forgotten. It's been fun to be able to share these moments with you and to talk about movies with you as always. For so many years. That's what Hawking is doing. A lot of heavy lifting, I got to say. I mean, like I said, we could have created this video.  You guys could help me out with a script. And then we could have just taken stock footage from trailers. You know, David Fincher has done it again. The killer by David Fincher starring Michael Fassbender is directed by David Fincher. Presents David Fincher is the killer by David Fincher. This is literally a junior high book report. This is this is the level. That's generous. That is generous because you would be expected to say you have to say more than what he said. Because some people say he's like I want to be Roger Ebert. But like Roger Ebert had controversial opinions. Yeah, what? Yeah, no. Yeah, he he's a long way from Roger Ebert. One I found out recently is Roger Ebert rated Home Alone 3 above one and two. Yeah, he had some bad takes. Well, what was funny was that Siskel, if you watch the video where he says that Siskel's like I what? What? You can't be serious now. And I'm looking forward to it. And of course here's our video games on art take. Oh boy. That's one of those. I was about to say Paulie Age. It's like, no, that was bad. No, that was always bad. Yeah, I get annoyed. I want to push back against the notion that like, oh, that's a statement that yeah, back when it was during the SNES. I think it was actually, he said it like 2007 or something. But the idea that that statement, if you said it about games on the SNES or Genesis would be more apt as stupid. Like those games are too. They all are. They have art in them. For starters, you want to get that like even just that it's a starting point.  He gave John Carpenter's the thing one star. So that's satanic to do that. Okay. Damn. It is. Yeah. Yeah, but it's like. Like, let's go. Let's just go ahead. Bad takes to they both over their careers had some horrific takes on classic movies. Wasn't something that Roger Ebert wasn't his whole methodology that he was trying to rate it on the basis of what he expected. People who would want to watch that kind of film would think. Like that it was contextual. So like if he was rating, I don't know, like a comedy, he'd be rating it based on his expectations of what people entering into that kind of comedy movie would once. That's something I don't know. I think I'm pretty sure he said that that it's like it was relative that it changed depending on like. Every video review I've seen of him, he's always talking about how he felt about it and what he thinks it should be. Okay. Maybe I'm mistaken. I just as I understood it, it was the idea that if he was going into, I don't know, say like a Martin Scorsese film, he would enter into it with like those kinds of expectations to where he might rate it lower than a film that he considers worse. But it's like relative as part of his standard. Do birds, everyone here remember the Siskel and Yvette stand-ins in the Godzilla movie from Roland Emmerich? Yes. Yes. That shit's funny. It reminds me of Shyamalan. And I think even Ryan Johnson, to an extent you could say about Knives Out, there's these like references to the people they hate in real life.  Shyamalan, if you guys haven't seen The Girl in the Water, I think it is, he makes himself the most important writer in the world in that film. Oh, no. Yeah. Lady in the Water. I found the quote here on good old Wikipedia. So this is something that he said, when you ask a friend of Hellboy is any good, you're not asking if it's any good compared to Mystic River. You're asking if it's any good compared to the Punisher. And my answer would be on a scale of one to four. If Superman is four, then Hellboy is three. The Punisher is two in the same way if American Beauty gets four stars, then the United States of Leland clocks in at about two. But the thing is, that's that really sounds a bit flawed because it sounds like he's saying that it goes it gets rated on a superhero movie metric. But the thing is, compare it.  Like you wouldn't. How do you even compare them in that way?  You don't need to convince me. I think that's a really nasty creature in the choir. Yeah. I got you. To another year of doing that, my film should be coming out next year and submitted to various festivals. And we've been able to finally Chris, I mean, Stockman, get it to me early and I will. We'll check it out and we'll review it. Honestly, a review. Hell, yes. Make sure to send a lot of factor 75 with it. I think Bell was making some of that. What kind of a film is he making? Which is just up my alley. I love horror when it's. I mean, he might be a serial killer. Those eyes are ADR, which is great. And so we are just about done with it. I mean, there's just like random little color corrections and things that we might adjust here and there. But it's. Fractions of color, please. Nine percent. It's real. And I can't wait to share it with you guys and what that journey will be like. And as always, I mean, it is. It is clever, isn't it? Right? Like if you if you stop doing the being critical in any way, shape or form, you kind of like priming people.  Whereas if it's just like, I'm just to I like movies. All right. I love movies. I believe I believe that I could be completely wrong that he's going to do better than the AVGN or RLM movies. You'll certainly do better than channel or some movies. I would say so. When you say better, what what do you mean there? That's a bold statement. I better in the set. That's a good question. You think what I'm getting at is do you think people say like, yeah, it's good. But then they're not going to talk about it like really much at all. Like it's not going to make his his fans will absolutely be comprised of 50 percent. That was amazing. And 50 percent. I did love it, Chris. But I feel like you could have and then just generic statement like the characterization was slightly off or I feel like it could have been paced a little bit better. Just a literally one second of it being cut out would have been better. That's all that's all I want to say. But then there'll be people like us who will probably find it to be like, that shot was neat or that joke was kind of funny or that character did that thing that was kind of OK. But the most of it we're going to be like, oof. But to be fair, that's what happens with YouTuber movies. I'm hoping the best for drink it, by the way. I realize that I'm saying this. I have seen the trailer for his short film and it looks pretty cool. I will say.  And it's like they would. I mean, Space Cop. You don't think so.  They didn't expect it to be as difficult and that they didn't. I don't think they thought that it really achieved. Like, I don't know if this is controversial to say, but I think their average best of the worst video is infinitely more funny than Space Cop. I don't know what happened. A lot of the jokes in Space Cop are very like. Yeah. OK. So because I don't know a whole lot of comedy. So that was like, OK. Space Cop dragged a bit for me. The trailer was funnier than the movie. I thought. I think that's still as well. You know, like a chunk of money to be around with or like, but the thing. So what I think John's referencing, which I would completely agree with is this moments like where they're in quote unquote a spaceship and then you'll have like Jay playing one of the enemy soldiers and they'll shoot a window out and he'll go, oh, no. And then it'll cut to a wide shot with a clearly obvious dummy getting pulled through the window. That's really great.  But then there's also stuff where you're like, oh, that was an attempt at telling a joke and it was not funny at all. Oops. OK, that's fine. Yeah. Moving on. It's sort of a it's a mixed bag in that way. Yeah, I agree. So they don't really want to give it another go by the side of it. Would you be interested in seeing them give it another go of making a film? So someone just said Red Alert Media can dish it but they can't take it. They have admitted more than anyone on the Internet that their movie is bad and they make fun of it all the time. It's part of what I love about them is that I one of the things that struck me when I found out Space Cop was coming was I was like, oh, they're doing another comedy type thing. They often do either comedy or horror comedy. And I was like, why can't they try a drama? They talk all the time about like how to do proper drama. It would be cool to see them like legitimately try and make something that's very much I don't know, supposed to make you because Gary often says and I'm inclined to agree that comedy is harder than drama. But the never doing drama at all, it's like, come on, give it a shot. I think you guys give it. You are that comedy has like a higher skill floor than drama. Yes. The best of both of them is going to take like a lot. Like, you know, Lord of the Rings is not easy. And that's like the Yeah. Yeah. It's one of the best comedies I've ever seen. Possible drama of just like pretty basic beats and tension and, you know, highs and lows. That's like something that whereas making someone laugh, it's like, there's really no clear rules on how that works. It kind of goes a lot of guideline. You're either good at it or you're not. You know, it's not even something you can really teach. Timing. How do you teach? Yeah. Timing, you know, like how do you add as something?  So you can laugh at it which is itself of a kind of comedy. It is. If you try to set out to write a sincere work of drama and you really want it to be taken sincerely, you can't really laugh it away when it doesn't land at the end. Like it's harder to even begin to write something like that just because you are setting the bar higher for yourself with the outset. Are you talking like from the perspective of the creator in that case? Because what I was Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I, bad comedy is really hard to watch. Whereas a bad drama can be funny. But I get it from me from the creative perspective.  Can I can't laugh at it. If someone makes something right. Like if all of us put out a thing where it's like this is my stand-up special and we don't laugh at a single joke. Oh, man. Oh, yeah.  Meanwhile, if I put out a thing like this is my drama and it's you know, guy with sword and he's killing a dragon and he saves the girl and you're all just kind of like Yeah. Yeah. It's like you can yeah, you can just sort of coast through it a lot of the times. Yeah. But bad comedy, you can't it's bad. Bad comedy is really difficult. Yeah, she's like 9-11 was bad, but at least it wasn't a bad comedy.  Someone just said this just in Pride and Prejudice is less easy than hangover lol. It's like it's not about like every comedy is harder than every drama. It's just a matter of because like I said, I think I think it's kind of intuitive to an extent that if you completely fail I think it's easier to completely fail comedy than it is to completely fail drama. Drama. How many classic dramas there are to classic comedy? Yeah. And honestly, when I just said good guy kills dragon and saves girl a lot of what is you okay with that? As long as you get some basic characters in there. Your basic dramatic beats are like very comprehensible in a way where what are the basic beats of comedy is like wow that's a bit more complicated. So what I would say is an equivalent maybe like character slips and falls. It's like yeah that can work but you're not going to be able to play that more than a few times before everyone's like this is boring. You know like basic. Well as someone who I actually co-wrote and produced a feature comedy that came out years ago my big fat independent movie which is a parody it's a spoof satire parody film of independent films. I mean it's at times raunchy comedy I'm not going to say I knocked it out of the park I give myself kind of a C for it but there are there are some parts that really worked Clint Howard's in it a Bob Odenkirk has plays a bit part Bob Odenkirk he plays the part of a he's a hit man who's bleeding profusely but he pays rent and he lives in the trunk of the two other hit men in the movie. So every time they open the trunk he's in the trunk and has an exchange.  It turns out though that like the audience that likes indie films with jokes about Amelie or like other independent films Tarantino films they don't like raunchy comedies they they just don't that audience doesn't. Yeah there's sexless sterile losers. Yeah. That was like my first feature film and you can I'm going to I'm actually going to re-release it next year on video on on video and then also I'm going to put out a blu-ray but you can pick up if you can find it you can get a standard Def DVD cheap on Amazon if you can find it. Yeah no it's no it's I think it's I think it's weird when you're like like I've been in the critical space for a long time but I've also made films. I made this short film called Red with Laurence Tierney years ago that blew up in the 90s.  Yeah like Hi I'm a filmmaker. It's kind of like the equivalent of the guy who sits in the Starbucks with his laptop almost like wanting somebody to ask him what he's doing. It's like I'm right. Yeah it's a little yeah it's a little more than you know with a hat that says screenwriter on it. He's the guy who exists in his car.  And he goes yeah yeah I'm a writer. Yeah how'd you know I'm a writer. As a writer I can speak on this. I'm writing this really no no no we said Richard Richard your coffee's ready. Richard I gotta dip out Mahler. I gotta go. Sorry guys. Sorry to interrupt. So thank you so much for joining us. That's alright. See you right. We'll go on later. See you later. Bye. Take care everybody. It was fun. Ciao. I actually got to dip out soon as well but yeah if you ever want to eFap my film I would I would be all for it. Love it. Maybe we will. It's the only way I mean I'll see this. We're almost to the book. We're just a minute away. No I'm not.    I'll watch John Campia when I want to know what a normal normie thinks of anything. Like what's the normie opinion on this because Don Campia's takes are all milk toast. He doesn't really have many thoughtful. He is definitely Pia and Stuckman could do a show that would put us all to sleep but like I never watched Stuckman. This is the most I've ever watched of him. How does this guy get hundreds of thousands of views like that's the thing that kind of like I'm miffed by is how does a guy like there's an easy answer. He started this really really early. Yeah. He was one of the first to start doing that.  That's why whoever it's why DSP and like what was it was an irate gamer. There's the only reason these people have any traction at all is they did it really early. Yeah. Yeah. Imagine Chris started today. He get nothing. Nobody. Well especially remember that like in terms of you know I guess production quality of like a nice expensive camera a nice back. Well you know background right. That's like you got all the cool lights and the trailer visual as opposed to you know how scuffed it can be like if somebody's doing it for the first time that's like a big barrier as well. Like this just looks more professional even though the content of the script is barely anything.  It's like no no no Jeremy Johns is the one we would recommend as the positive angel version of this. Someone that I wouldn't necessarily like be like I can't wait for his opinion. But if I went to his video on a movie I would expect to hear something that I hadn't necessarily thought of. I'd be like oh yeah that's fair. Which is like that's super important and valuable thing of hey you've got the capacity to surprise me in a meaningful way not like are you surprised me with your pick but then you still said nothing really about the film at all.  You usually only see that in the fair the depths of YouTube you don't usually have to I say that now everyone's saying it now but it's like well yeah what else could you say that's the only but Chris isn't gonna say it that would be mean. The starting early thing is huge I mean if you've spent 15 years slowly amassing an audience I mean that that pays off I mean I regularly think about that and I wish like I had just stayed independent rather than fucking working for Machinima back in back in the day you know where like I neglected my channel for like almost a decade and then I sort of went back to it and just like tried rebuilding it and it's like you know I never thought Machinima was going to be so mismanaged yeah it's it just seemed like the logical thing to do at the time but then you know well if any of us we're reset to zero two day it's it's not an easy climb but I still kind of believe that we could all get somewhere meanwhile uh I don't know this isn't even trying to be mean it's just like what why would anyone want to subscribe to Chris Tuckman after what we've just seen like that was incredible it was it was just nothing there and the best thing was whenever I asked Chris Gore like oh so if you see that movie and that he gives us a quick summary literally on a stream some thoughts he has already more substance than the scripted video that's insane yeah yeah with you sharing that journey so thank you once again for watching and I hope you guys check out these movies on this list and they bring a lot of joy and entertainment to you I'll see you always bring us showing Chris Tuckman you didn't sell it motherfucker Thor as always thank you so much for Stuckmanize us do it watching and if you like this you can click right here and get Stuckmanized yes yes yeah that's his turn I thought that was like a meme of other people made up no it's real it's really real better now he's Stuckmanized you listen this was like the most emotionally put in the whole video like he was looking forward to this the whole video I was like I can't wait to say the words I think we're gonna get Stuckmanized again let's go again thank you so much for watching and if you like this you can click right here and get Stuckmanized yes he said it again cool Stuckmanize me captain we did yes the music as well it's plastic it's beautiful if we were reviewing his film then this was a film by Chris Stuckman and it was an emotional oh we have to do that we have to put on a video this does that I felt things directed by Chris Stuckman it was previously directed short films oh what a Judy the Godzilla one bugged me the most sorry go ahead yeah I'm just gonna say does he have a feature that's coming out or what's going on with that yeah yeah Shelby Oaks would be the the movie the feature film and it's I think already making it I'm an Xurisad right yeah did he say he's making he's trying to sell it to different places submitted it to festivals and everything to festivals which is a tough road because most mainstream festivals don't like one they're they're not no don't let them hear you so they don't like to be called mainstream right right but I mean the big festivals like Sundance and whatnot those are tough to get into I had a movie at Slamdance which is the other festival but it and I've I've been on the festival circuit with a bunch of things but the markets really changed in the last several years as has everything else in terms of like what the expectation is I don't know that stuckman would care about him having it that the festivals the best route for him he could just release it and distributed himself if he wanted curious to see it I really want to see it because sometimes I mean it's not unusual for critics to cross over into making films I mean that's the whole story of the French Dave right it's like you're gonna write about film and then we're gonna make movies it happens quite a bit Rod Lurie among others but I'd be curious to see and horror is a pretty easy genre though to be fair like it's it's in terms of like a movie out of the gate I think horror is probably the easiest probably easier than drama or comedy yeah hey I've seen what passes for horror these days I agree I was about to say there's a similarity with all genres in terms of like what to do the basics to get away with it but I I guess you're right yeah like horror I've always seen is like the it's like the gutter with like what what is currently accepted as the good horror and it's like oh look it's a scary ghost house and then it goes blah blah blah and the character like has to go to some expert and they say like didn't you know in 1921 there was a woman who died and she did curse the whole town and you have to beat her with and then they beat with us and then at the ending they go and then it cuts to black well yeah they defeat them and then there's an after credit scene or just regularly seen at the end the regular ending where they don't win the ghost and it's fucking boring and this is the thing a lot of people because I love horror and it's like oh really wow what do you recommend I'm like let me get out my tiny list all right here's the list get the descent over by car all right wish upon is obviously at the top of the list yeah obviously wish upon all or did you see talk to see that movie made by those YouTubers from I saw that one yeah I saw that one I quite enjoyed it I think it's like one of A24's most successful films so that's gotta be the most successful like YouTuber turned making oh what about the wait wait well David Sandberg right yeah yeah continued yeah yeah I think it's okay I liked it I tend to like horror that's more psychological less gory I think gory's just yeah yeah yeah I love me existential and psychological they're my number ones gore has its place but like I often find most of the gore horror I watch I'm not watching it to be scared I'm watching it to be like entertained the soul being the number one soul yeah yeah yeah well you know like final destination too that's pretty gory and it's like it's so funny like I love how funny those movies are unfortunately I gotta I gotta take off speaking of gore I gotta gore out of here um fair enough I'm gonna say I was about to read his um his 50 best movies of 2000 I don't know if you want to stay for just the reading or not it's uh it's up to you uh oh my god it's already torture um I'll stay for I'll stay for I'll stay for I'll stay for I'll stay for yes it is rags underselling the mighty stuckman so yeah so the context I'll be as fast as I can to allow you to leave he made a book called he wrote one called the film buffs bucket list made a film buffs bucket list national best seller about his book his book is like a pamphlet you're holding it right like yes i'm holding it right now right here can see it you literally have it yes I do I've written a couple of pages I don't today get numbers I don't yeah okay it is 100 and 70 average book not many selling marketplace needs to be 50 to 60 thousand words I guarantee it's less than half the you got to keep in mind he's got 50 movies he talks about and it takes I think three pages per because he has a a page with just some artwork that looks like clip art to represent the film and then a page sometimes a page and a half to represent like his review which we're going to read some today because it'll be very fun yay it's barely a book is is what it's it's it's like he talks in the video that's the book mm-hmm well honestly the book goes into more depth like slightly more depth than that video does slightly in kind so it's titled the 50 movies of the 2000s to see before you die so um Fringy read this list out to me and I think I was missing two I'm gonna go ahead and guess Chris Caw you've seen all of these I would be curious to know which of these has not been seen by any of the cast today but I shall start reading them now the thing about Chris Duckman especially with a title like this I'm expecting to have heard of every one of these films I did not expect to have seen I think 48 of them I was very surprised but here we go oh jeez barely enough for Fringy imagine giving that book hey can you imagine giving that book to someone on their death bed Sming you're about to die here's this book you better start right now they'll be like you've got to see this before you die like okay

Rings The Return of the King No Fellowship No Two Towers oh fuck you I'm sorry are you insane so sorry Chris only Return of the King you could have just put Lord of the Rings Trilogy but yeah maybe that's you know I don't know Spider-Man 2 That's wild Collateral The Incredibles Shaun of the Dead A History of Violence Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and then we reach one funnily enough I think when you described this to me for you you said Hidden Cache or Hidden Cache I said to you at the time I hadn't seen it because I didn't recognize that name at all but on the book it says Cache and then in brackets Hidden me and Rags watched Cache we did and boy I did not enjoy it I was not usually fond of it no but I have seen that one sounds like holy shit I would not recommend Casino Royale is it is it Cache or Hidden Cache sorry so it's Cache I think Cache or Cache and then in brackets Hidden I think that means that's the English translation I'm not sure oh okay Casino Royale The Departed The Born Ultimatum Zodiac There Will Be Blood No Country for Old Men Trick or Treat Trick or Treat I guess Trick or Treat Yes that is an Apostrophe Aria An Anthology Halloween Movie I like it I think it's neat The Dark Knight Coraline 500 Days of Summer In Glorious Bastards Inception Toy Story 3 Drive Bishop Impossible Ghost Protocol When was this book written? Because I'd be curious how many Mission Impossible's fought over that spot you know well and also 2000s I thought meant 2000 to 2010 but this list includes films that came out like after 2010 oh yeah dude if we actually got a list of all the films that didn't make it to this list I think we'd all die The Avengers Snowpiercer Prisoners The Winter Soldier Enemy Under the Skin which I'm kind of shocked is here to be on yeah see there's one of me a lot of these films are from the 2010s not the 2000s in the general sense that people think of it Edge of Tomorrow The Babadook Birdman Whiplash When Marnie was there which I don't actually that's the one I don't recognize Mad Max Fury Road Creed and the best one saved for last of course Star Wars The Force Awakens Make sure you see that before you die okay Corporate approved list I mean in a sense you kind of want to see before you die just to see what they did with Star Wars No Protect those old people Why die happy The thing about that list is it's just like those are like a lot of really predictable safe choices there's not many like oh huh you know there's no wow except for like wow The Force Awakens holy shit okay yeah A lot of them are so expected that it's like oh yeah but kind of like again if you're top 10 you've got like Casablanca Citizen Kane like those types of films you know what I mean or like The Godfather or my taxi driver or stuff like that it would just be Gary finally realized he hasn't left yet Gary finally left What are all these voices in my head Who's that They sound like my friends Why is there so many movies It seems like Where is Metal here?
