2022, this is a recent movie. This is 10 years after the last movie, which was made in 1890. 10. 10 years. 10 years since the last movie was made? 10 years since the last movie was made. And finally, they're back with a vengeance. I think Rags is broken. Fringy fix him. Wind him up. I feel like I'm gonna get with three bricks in the face. I see this on Prime all the time, and I always skip by it going, oh, oh. That's the noise you make? I don't know. Is this a horror movie? Maybe it's best to just go in completely blind. All I know is Gary watched it and said it's about Santa who's violent. It's like John Wick, but Santa, right? Well, something like that. And he said he gave it a half-hearted recommendation, which is good enough for me. I saw it. It's diehard in a house, basically. Oh, there you go. OK. OK. I hope I diehard in the house. All right. Nobody said hi and welcome to the one. Oh, hello, everyone. Hi. Sorry about that. We'll see you come in.  What's happening? And then, you know. Yeah, you can you could show it. We were just chatting and you walked in and, you know, you just you just got to find your spot in the social circle of which we are. And then if that the only podcast with absolutely no intro videos basically ever except anniversary is a cast different. That's right. No intro. We're getting right into it. Three, two, one, go. Not really. Oh, I hit play. Oh, well, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't.  I guess it would have been amazing if we all did. Yeah, the problem is, even if we all did mail, someone would have been so unsure of it that they would have been. Nobody else would have done it. So yeah, the thing is, this is called Violet Night. I feel like this is what the last movie should have been called. So anyway, you guys ready? I'm ready. Three, two, one, Christmas. Christmas. Whoa. Bum, bum, bum. Grand orchestral fanfare playing. I don't know. The universe looks isn't that funny. I think it's pretty hilarious. Look how big it is. That's crazy. Oh, I think it's good. I'd say you're here for those. Oh, it's fine animations. Oh, yeah. They made a good company now. Bryce Dahl. We, Johnny's. Yeah, that's what the sign says. What country is this in? Bristol. Yes, the country of Bristol. That's not a country. The country is this. You don't know that that's not the country in this film. Oh, it's you. Another one. Oh, it's so vertical, so I'd like to change that. It's the Red Guardian. Is it your time of the month? Guy from Stranger Things. Who consistently kind of annoys me because he's capable of pretty great, pretty bright things.  You just get off?  When two Santa's show about the bar, they have to fight. Did he just ask Santa if he got off? I jerked off in your beard. Between chefs, I guess you could say. You ain't driving, are you? No, the reindeer drive. I steer a little, but the reindeer do muscle work. Ah, there we go, yeah. Yeah, right, let the movie make the jokes. No. This is my fourth year as a Santa. How about you? Lost count. I forget why I started doing it in the first place. Oh, no, Santa. Same reason anybody does anything. The money. Oh, that's right. There's a lot of money in that part at the end of the day. It's the look on the kitty's face, isn't it? That's what does it for me. Last about two seconds. Two's are finished unwrapping. They want the next present. They want the next cool thing. That's how this world works. Yeah, little champions. You say that like it wasn't the case with the wooden trains and stuff. You always want the next train to add to that. I want the next wooden train. Maybe this is my last year. I think Santa saw the recent trends on Twitch and was like, that's enough. That's enough. I'm getting the titties out. Put your drinks on my tap, OK? Santa, take care of each other. I'm just not going to finish this beer. Yeah, I don't like it when it's for free. I don't know how it tastes shitty. Something given has no value. Free grass, something made trip. It's the new video games. Astro Blaster, Blaster, Astro, I don't know. Oh, that sounds made up. Trini, do you not play Astro Blaster? I'm just saying it sounds made up. It sounds like an Atari era game or something. How do you know I have a grandson? It's actually. She said, how did you know I had a grandson?  I don't know. Hey, you can't be up here. Wait a minute. Oh, my God. He's dead, Christ. He's a jumper.  Help me, Santa. Help me, Jesus Christ. Help me, Santa Christ. Santa Christ. We're doing a crane upshot. He is real. He's a real Santa. That would have been interesting if it was subtle and not just you showing it. Is it necessarily not? Is it now not interesting? We're following him, Rex. We're following his story. I think I would have kind of. Yeah, that's kind of funny. You get it? The magical. Oh, she's your man. Completely. Oh, God. Get it? Silent and violent sound very similar. Oh, that's all right. Man, I get the impression that that's where the idea came from, basically, that they're like, silent, violent.  That sounds really like a movie. Eureka, we got an idea. Merry Christmas, Judy. Merry Christmas, Daddy.  Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Whoa. Oh, alone. I'm here getting meta. Thank you for doing this. I'm not doing it for you. Dang. This family is not cohesive. It's Christmas. Santa, save the family. Give them presents. This is a sparse street for Christmas Eve. It needs to be busier. I mean, there's no decorations. Oh, it's just a street. Rags is OK with not decorating. Not every tree, not every road has to be excessively decorated. I don't think that's crazy. Just some lights, anything.  Yeah, I bet you're excited for Christmas. What did you ask Santa for?  Wow, about to play Big Mouse. Wow, that is a big house. That's probably CGI. It's probably not even a real house. I don't know. It's probably smaller than the McAllister's, though. The question is, is it as big on the inside like the Malignant House, or is it smaller? I will say it's a big house.  Damn, all right. Yeah, yeah, there. I said it. It needed to be said. Now look at these smooth camera movements. So smooth. That guy's suspicious. Oh, look at all these characters that we're setting up. I don't trust that elf. I wonder if he's evil. No, he's good because he made the little Santa go ho, ho, ho. Why did you call me a ho? That's rude. Evil people can do that, too, unfortunately. I don't think so. I've seen it. You want some of these foods? OK, no, OK. No, OK. I was going to have some. Gingerbread, sir. I'll never get over the fact that you grew up like this. My therapist says I'll never get over it either. I don't get it. Mental health. Did you know that if you have two turtle tubs, you give one turtle tubs to some turtle tubs. You have two different tubs. I think this is the year that mom's going to kick herself upstairs and choose one of us to start running the show. Oh, God. You're in the background doing TikToks or whatever. You've got to have the social media kid in every movie now. Like in Expandable 4. That was cringe. Watch out, motherfuckers. No, Exforndables. You loved Exforndables. Expandful bowls. Expandful bowls. I even forgot the movie.  Expendables. Like how we talked about everything. Expendables sat down for 80% of his appearances. Yeah, that Bell's forge had some tangents. Oh, yeah, we didn't want to talk about Expendables. OK, I'm behind. Catch me up on all the hot goss. Are we about to get some exposition here? Oh, yeah, this is the Burnt Locker. Oh, look, see, that's pretty elegant. She asked who are these people, and then he recaps it for us as well. That's Burnt Locker, living that bling life. Living that bling life on Christmas Eve. Jesus Christ. Unbelievably cringe. He just got what I can only assume will be his first of many sexual harassment accusations. Why would? Wow. Are they setting all of these characters up so unsympathetic that when they die, nobody cares?  Oh, my gosh. Is this a reference to Home Alone 2 when Kevin McAllister goes to the Twin Towers? Yes.  He's like David Beckham because he's kissing. That's true. You know how the straights are. He really does look like off-brand David Beckham. Not a chance. That's not going to work for me. It's Gertrude. It is Gertrude. Gert, get over here. Positions. Mom, I'm doing my Burnt Locker thing. That's the best you can do. Oh, my God, it's Dolly Parton. Listen, you cocksucker. Damn.   So maybe you don't realize who I am. You know who I am.  OK, it's like she came in to say that and then left. Yeah, it's comedy. You named your kid Gertrude. You named your son Bertrude. Wait, his name is really Bertrude. Oh, that's why he's Bert. Merry Christmas to you, too, Senator. This is like the awkward family scene from Succession before that show got really shitty at the last season. I'm getting a glass onion vibes from this whole thing right now. I don't know if I'm getting quite that. I feel like Ryan Johnson has a particular aroma. Oh, no. You said aroma. I said odor. I wrote it. Aroma has more of a positive connotation. Orders like slightly negative. It's not as negative as stench. And what's my favorite granddaughter? Everybody calls me Trudy now.  That scene was clearly to try and introduce all those characters. Mostly just hate everyone. Again, so that when they die, you don't care so much.  Oh, no, no, Santa. If you're doing die hard. You're making Santa's business.   I find this amusing.  Yeah, I'm just getting depressed about the commercialization of Christmas or whatever. It's funny. Cash. Cash, cash. Yeah. The Clinton Monument. The Santa Sprinkles. Yes, I'm Biden. Oh, he's getting coal and taking the beers. He gave him coal and he's taking the beer. How do you know he's a bad dad? Yeah, what if he tries his hardest? Yeah, what if he's doing his best?  Sometimes beer is all it takes to dull the pain. I never got to tell Santa what I wanted for Christmas. He's got a right side or a letter. You don't have to see him in person. Wouldn't it be really awkward, you know, like if a kid's like, I'm going to mail my letter to Santa. Here you go, postman. And then he turns the corner and sees a postman setting him all on fire and put a petrol over him. Seems unnecessary, but he can't deliver him. So he's got to destroy him. They can. They go to the North Pole. What? You think he's got to personally take them all the way to the doorway? No, no, no, not him. He has to work that general area. That summer, but they give it to people. And yes, they get it all the way. And the Norwegian government puts them in a big pile and burns them. He should never do that. Maybe they would. No, Santa gets them at the North Pole when they are delivered.  I don't know. Yes, Santa sets them on fire. Everybody asks where is Santa, not how is Santa? That's what this movie is asking, finally. Because you've been so good to me and mommy this year. To me. We decided that you could have one gift. What is it? That is a very special walkie-talkie. Once you got right there is a direct hotline of Santa Claus himself. Wait, does a walkie-talkie work when you're just laying in bed? I mean, you could press a button and do that, yeah. The other talkie's active. Well, you're you're or any other talkie. You can't fulfill the obligations of its name. Because you're not walking, I say. You can only talk. Oh, I see. That's a joke that I'm doing. Yeah, OK. It's it's really bad.   I can talk to Santa. Oh, yeah. It's just like writing in the letter. Don't you think there should be a movie where Santa is taken very seriously as like a political power? Like he does exist. He does deliver presents. He maybe does have a nice oil list like Homelander. He has borders and you can't go there. Like it's hostile.  But simultaneously has connections with different governments. Influenced their domestic policy by saying, well, I'm putting. Well, yeah. When putting an embargo on you when a war happens. Yeah, he's like no more presents. That's what happened. The North Pole is a no fly zone for intercontinental ballistic missiles.  He's like, if it comes anywhere near this planet, I'm leaving. I'm going to Mars. Oh, look at the reindeer's. I hope it's really nicely. Which one of you did that? How is their poop?    No, Rudolph will never do that.  That's Rudolph. Why do you need them if you just teleport? He doesn't teleport that quickly. You remember in the Santa Claus, how like the chimney expanded or did he shrink? Am I the only person I remember? I've seen this. Have you watched all the Santa Claus is bringing you a true fan? Have you watched the television show? The Santa Claus is streaming on Disney Plus. Ew. Get that Disney Plus out of his e-fab right now. The blah.   Honestly, the whole movie should have been his POV. Like, if he's going to kill a whole bunch of people, I don't need to know them. It's fine. Just make them anti-presence and then he's got to stop them.  Like, it doesn't have much to do with the Santa Claus chair. It's just Santa going to different houses and encountering people or learning things about them based on their part. Yeah, and getting his Christmas spirit back. Yeah, that feels like an interesting experiment. Let him watch Nightmare Before Christmas. That's a stuff. Yeah, he... Christmas is all right. You Americans don't celebrate my favorite holiday. Is he about to get shot in the head? What? Boxing day. Garbage day. You can watch that with e-fap movies at some point. Congratulations, snowflake.  Calm down. Oh, they're all in on it. Wait, Santa's in the other room right now? She's in on it, too. Yeah, I'm just hanging out. Yeah, well, that's the thing, right? Santa's arrived by chance and evil is happening. Say goodbye. And if your wi-fi sucks, date. Well, he probably has marble.  Oh, I got to kill Al. No, don't kill Al. Oh, John Lake was on, but look at him go. Oh, it's... Also known as Luigi. Merry Christmas. Or should I say Happy Holidays now? Oh, look, get it. Referencing the culture memes. My car broke down a little ways. Out here. This is a private road. That means your car legally belongs to us, sir. I'll call you a tow. Shoot. Oh, no. They actually killed him. Jesus. What was the point of all that if you were just going to shoot him anyway? Because he's theatrical. Shout out. Jingle. Check. Peppermint. Check. Oh, nice. Oh, wow, they've got Christmas themed. He's Krampus. Why isn't John Lake was on Krampus? Or is he Santa?   I'm glad he pointed that out. Ah, there you go. That boy shouldn't have called attention to it. No, I'm happy he did because it's cringe. No, it's great. It's thematic. Incorrect. No, you can't code names like that in July or August. I guess it'd be like, this is Rabbit. This is Rabbit. This is Rabbit. They all have the same code name. That's right. They're all Rabbit. Walk away. I'm a company. Family. When does the Santa kill? I love digital blood splatters. They're so great. Oh, I see Santa's opinion. Oh, God, Santa's going to get PTSD. OK, see, this premise has huge potential, but I feel like they haven't yet cracked much of it. We'll see. No, because of your guns. What are you guys doing when she did all that? He's just whiter, Bob. These are just random people. Santa doing sitting down. He's got six billion kids to go visit. Oh, good job. What were you guys doing? They weren't shooting these guys who were right in front of them. What was that? What were you guys doing? You didn't even lock the doors. It might be one of the lamest things that films keep doing where, like, the bad guys will just fly through all of the security without sustaining any casualties whatsoever. If they did it in a way that was both viable, like a really well-planned and well-oiled machine sort of thing, that'd be one thing. But this is just a goofy and weird. It's always like this, yeah, where they just sort of roll through. It's not like in Die Hard where they were systematic. Oh, no.  You can call me Mr. Scrooge. Why would you not shoot him immediately? Hilarious. Shoot him. Shoot him immediately. Just shoot him. Yeah, OK, well, what the fuck? Punch with a gun. Just punch with it. It just really is like John Wick. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He has a particular set of skills. Ah, humbug, motherfucker. Oh, my God. Oh, my throat. Kind of low impact, actually, and not very good. Oh, slightly annoying. I would almost want to see an edit of this film that is just Santa. I actually think it would be better. Like, hearing. Imagine no context on this right now. The blood splatters and hearing these guys talking. Like, this would be great. Yeah. Yeah, like, if you had no context, he was just sitting there and heard gunshots. Like, what the hell? Yeah, a big.  Yeah, man, if you're going to do Die Hard, I mean, they did that with John McClain, just followed him the whole way. Pretty much, yeah. And that would be a really good blueprint.  I mean, Die Hard is a great movie, but a lot of films can't quite do what Die Hard did. There's a reason Die Hard, like, set the precedent forever. No, no, no. Uh-oh, what's wrong? Why doesn't it work? This is so gingerbread! It needs to be because he's drunk. All right, if someone's thinking about it on that. Did you know that stocks are not for using? Well, the problem with the stock is it makes it harder to aim, right? It makes it less controllable. That's true. When you put it on in Cola Judy, it reduces your accuracy. What? Is that true? I can believe it. Yeah, of course. Yeah. I can't believe it, yeah, sure. I'm just going to scooch up that chimney. Did he just hit Santa with a gun? Okay, here's the question, because I kind of almost want to just keep tweaking this movie as we go along and pretending it's not the movie it actually is. Would you guys make Santa immune to bullets or like a Wolverine or regular? I don't think I'd ever have it to worry. Why would he have bullet immunity, you know? Why would that be? I wouldn't want to, I don't think I'd want to go the way of like it bounces off him, but I wouldn't mind doing the Wolverine thing. Because he's obviously not human, Santa. That's like the idea, right? Ah, so now he's trapped. I feel like it would immediately suck a lot of the tension out if he really couldn't survive it. I think I had one, like if he was bulletproof, I probably wouldn't want to do that. Maybe I'd make him stronger. Wow, that actually showed the surprise of being hot. Yeah, that's neat detail.  Well, I feel like it'd be interesting if you incorporated the reindeer's into it, you know, like he gets dancing to kick one of them in the face or something. Like strangling with Christmas tree lights. That's that's a thing you should have in this load of those kinds of things. I'm sure you can use the candy stick at some point. Yeah, he's going to use candy to stop someone. That's what I mean, there's so many of those types of things that they bet it's what you call it. The middle car is a candy stick. Candy stick. Pump pumps into the gym and finish it. Oh, jeez. Oh, no, it's connected to you, buddy. Oh, no. Oh, get the lights off you. He needs to do that thing with the candy canes where he has to lick it so it gets to a sharp point. Like he's comedically hurryingly. That would be a good meme. Yeah, that would be a good meme. Right through the camera. They should have shown that, lame. They should have shown that, yeah. It probably wouldn't have looked good if they did. Maybe that's why they didn't show it. Yeah, I think they might have done that. The blood splatters with the shooty shoots aren't very good. They only made the right move as far as I'm concerned if they couldn't make it look good, him getting impaled. Which they probably couldn't. Do you think Santa would have like a special whistle called the reindeer backer?   I do like whether we can discuss whether all the mechanics of Santa make sense. It's like, you better have the mechanics doubt, OK? Gory night, all is calm. I don't care. Back to Santa. More funny.  I've had enough of your snide insinuations.  I wanted to make syllables in there. Did you actually think that I spent months planning a complex break into the most secure private residence in the country and I didn't know who lived here? That was not a good plan considering months. You didn't, there wasn't really a plan. You just shot everyone with guns. Twig-like female soldier, knife attacking four men. I don't know how that's a great plan.  Just wasting. Geez. You know what they're wasting for? Joke opportunities. I can't walk away. He's got to see, like, because this could be so much better. Like, it's this is acceptable.  I have to risk my life. So much like a scene from my movie, Dark Ransom. OK, he is an enigma. He occasionally looks like David Beckman, then not. It's confusing me. If you'd really done your research, you'd know that my brother, Rory, was kidnapped in the 70s.  Dude, extraction.  Oh, that'd be great. Yeah, he's a good Santa. An elf or something, an elf has been abducted because they want to make toys for gradually to break. And then Santa comes in. Why haven't they made that movie? Oh, my God. You'd have, like, an elf team six sort of thing and they all get killed and Santa has to go himself. See, I know a lot, Gertrude, like the fact that you have 300 million in US dollars sitting in your personal vault downstairs. He says 300 million in US dollars but he's obviously just trying to do the diehard thing of, like, negotiable bearer bonds. Like, nobody says in US dollars.  Just have him slowly opening the big safe in the basement without going into the hole. Yeah, for you.  This is not what you need to make the film about. It's a big mansion. I assume they're here for money. Then again, are they in England? Is that why they said US dollars? No, I think they're in, I guess, yeah. They're in Connecticut. Oh, I can't. Oh, no, yes. The opening was in Bristol, but he's not now. Yeah, yeah. Oh, OK. It's a weird looking safe. We're spending too much time not being funny. It is a weird looking safe, yeah. Why are we requiring so much time when these guys just set us up? So, yeah, nobody cares about these guys. Everything should be absurd. And that's the way to crank this.  You've got to have way more jokes if you're going to do something like this, yeah. I think this thinks it does have jokes, though. I think so. And I can't believe how much the writer decided that plot was important is kind of nuts, at least by comparison to the jokes. I feel like now would be a scene that would have Santa in like snow camouflage, kind of like a ghillie suit. Yeah. Seriously. I would want to spend like a whole week going through all like Christmas related things and then finding a way to incorporate all of it as jokes. You need that scene where we hit the second act low point where he like suits up and you get all the Christmas related things, but it's all like like commando, you know. And they're all, yeah, like exactly, pom-pom grenades, candy cane, like swords. Sticks candy canes in his belt, like he's sharp. Yeah, exactly. Like throwing stars.  No, no, throwing stars, but they're the stars you put on top of the tree. I don't know if you need if it's a star on the tree, that needs to be much more special than a throwing star. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, throwing stars could be just random ornaments on the tree. He plucks off an ornament and throws it and plucks off an ornament and throws it. And yeah, you need like tinsel, but he uses it to strangle people. Well, we have the Christmas of your life strangling. We've got to come up with someone else. First, somebody asked for a bastard, a sorter, a mullet of cocktails. This is a good guy that he has the sack and he's just pulling presents out and hoping for a weapon.  Yeah, he's just throwing stuff. You cut to the villain in random things or hitting him stuffed animals and, you know, a different present. Maybe a gag is like he thinks it's a statue, but it's like chocolate. I heard a blu-ray. Oh, I got it. You're my hard man. That's something. Yeah, it's something. Say he's on dipshit. Oh, he doesn't know how to use it. See, that's another thing about the angle of Santa. You could make him badass or you can make him like this, which is a, I don't mind either, I guess. You can whip it both. I kind of like it where he isn't a badass, but he's kind of like. I want to do both. Maybe you could do both.  Yeah, yeah, you could go that angle, too. But what I was going to say is you could have had two Santas, right? And this is the one that's taking over for the previous, the previous really good, but you know, like the beginning of Into the Spider-Verse.  But with Santas instead of Spider-Man. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. They could have, they could have, like what they did with, they did with Santa, you know, in the Woodland Critic Christmas where he just whips out a shotgun and just stung. Hell he does.  And it's like a shotgun with a bow on it, you know. Oh, that was strange, but I guess it worked. That was weird. Why would the darts come out of it? I don't know. It's the other way. Nobody can hear this, I guess, as well. No, we didn't hear the assault rifle. So video games. What if you put him in the sack and then you cut to his POV and it's some ethereal light? Yeah, it was just falling and falling and then this is.  Oh, there we go. The payoff would be the final, what actually works. Man, you calmed down pretty quick from getting your eye gotten gut. Oh, man. That's a little like that. That's a little like that. That's all right. All right. There you go. That's something. Oh, my goodness. Oh, Jesus. Calm down. All right, let's calm down. No, I want to crank it up.  Smoking. His head just explodes. Wait a minute. That probably would be a good joke if it exploded. That sound is like, oh, come on. Jesus. Now I have a gun. You should pat it out. You should pat it out with his glove. Yeah. That would be, they should do that. They should do the eye of a gun. That'd be like a fun callback except he's Santa. You could try and subvert it though as well. He gets interrupted or... Hello, can anybody hear me? Oh, look, they set up the walkie-talkie. They did. Yeah, I'm not even kidding. That scene we just had, that needs to be about maybe 60% of the movie. Yeah. That was great. Daddy said you were very busy tonight. All right. All right. His face is still on fire. That's funny. That was funny. Santa was like weirdly looking at it. Yeah. Like as we go to it every once in a while. It's just weird. I don't like how tacky that looks. Yeah, it looks tacky. Yeah, it should look like an old scroll. It should be magical to scroll, and then the writing appears. Here are my nice lists. Which means you get to live. Yeah. They need that pay off of like, they probably will do that. One of these guys will be naughty. Or they go for the angle of like, maybe the kid's been naughty, but the kid learns to be nice or be good. Something like that. That would be an interesting angle. Oh, there it is. Yeah. Take a lump of coal.   Man, come on. You want to keep it on the nice list, you know? Sorry. Can I say butthole then? I mean, it's borderline. It's borderline. Oh, Anus. Technically, yes. Anus is the tech. It's all funny. Because you could go a couple ways with this. Like if she was naughty, then he could be like, ah, maybe, I don't know. Then he has to convince him. Like I was beaten when I was younger.  Yeah, something that the kid does to be good or something like that. All right.  We're wasting too much time with these gaggle fucks. Yeah, I couldn't care less about these fuckers. I think all I'd want to do with these guys is give them code names and maybe even a thematic costume. Oh, dude. You do a Krauser Leon thing. Like one of these guys has met Santa before. Yeah. Oh, the old guy, the leader. The old one, I never forgot it. Yeah, he was on the naughty list exactly. And he's going to get back. Frosty. He's doing it. He's doing it.  It's a long story. And then I want to find my reindeer and I want to continue delivering my presents.   Good reaction, yeah. Yeah, I think I would go the way of...  What if he's really familiar with Santa and he betrays the group because he wants to have a one-on-one showdown with him or something? We could do like Willem Dafoe and John Wick. Maybe you and I should discuss that in person. Santa Claus is coming to town. Okay, I like this.   Then he goes, fuck! Wakes it back up. He just steps her on the face and stuff.   It's like, I guess we still do. It's just that the no way near as good.  Pick Jason. Jason. Yeah, I like that. We'll see, but then Jason should be like if they're telling you to pick me, they're just not gonna work. We don't need to do that. No, it's okay. No. We don't need to do this. I like how he's awkwardly struggling. No, no, no, no. No, that's fine. Don't do that. You're using the nutcracker. Geez, that's a unique way to do it. I've never seen somebody using nutcracker like a nutcracker as a torture device. Also, we set up a lot of time with the family at the beginning, and they haven't really benefited at all. It's not called a fingercracker. Take one of his bozaks in there. I'm not touching his balls. I'm not touching his balls. I figured it out. I was gonna go after that. Yeah, I thought I was gonna go after the nutcracker, but with his nuts. You want me to scoop his brains out? I'll scoop his brains out right now, but I'm not touching his junk. I'll scoop his brains out, but I'm not touching his balls. I don't care who does it. I better be looking at flat balls like in three seconds. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. He would be a bit awkward stuffing a testicle in that mouth. Things I never thought I'd hear from John. What if you had it where, like, I don't know, the kid was there in the fight and said, Santa, I want a katana, and then he could just pull a katana straight out of there? Oh, yeah. I want a grenade launcher. You want to talk to Santa? Yes, I am. No, you're not. Come on now. Yes, I am. Damn it, Judy. Santa isn't real. Santa is just the thing adults tell kids to make him feel better, OK? But if Santa is actually real, then how do you explain all the presents that are explicitly delivered? That's the thing about this. You can't say he's not real. Is it? When you show that he's real.  Yeah, let's come back east and ruin the Easter bunny for it too, huh? Wait, does he just let the kid go? Nice. Oh, well, it's the end for her. All right, well, yeah. Next. Oh, he's got his little... Is he going to quarter-ride his wind or something? No, he's got his tattoos and everything. See, that's another opportunity that I feel like should have been taken, maybe, with particular tattoos, because those more... Yes, he is quarter-rising it. Yeah, like really lean hard into the mythos of the ancient Santa. Yeah, pagan myths and everything. Yeah, I approve. This is another scene that I'd probably want to have, but I still wouldn't have settled on whether or not I want to make him... Because he seems kind of very killable, you know? Yeah, it's not like... It's kind of a thing too. It's all like, he's sustained no injuries on the job at all. You figured he'd have some kind of... Well, he's got his gauze. He's got his gauze. Maybe we go the route of he's like very, very lucky and things just constantly miss him and the bad guys are trying to get him and they just can't. He's putting candy in the paper. Yeah, that's how I like that. That's good, that's good. It should be that. Oh, yeah. Makes a little tie, bow tie. I'm worried there, you know? I think maybe just more durable. That's all. It just helps with the whole mythical being thing.  Wait, what are we doing? Viking. Do we do this origin?  That would be so interesting. That would be cool. I'm good. I was just wrapping something up. Nice. I can set up booby traps. Like in Home Alone. Oh my gosh. Who would have known how perfect it was that we set up this thing? Did you do that on purpose? I had no idea Home Alone would reference to this, but fine with me. And then I remember the next year and you said you had this amazing dream and that afterwards all you wanted to do was... To fly. To fly.  I don't know. I have no idea. Chris was magic. And if he's using their radios, can't they hear her when she said, I'm in the attic. Oh, maybe change the frequency or something.  Yeah, but he's using the assassin's walkies to talk to her. Yeah, but he's on her channel. Frequency. And how the men communicate at the first time, you know? Yeah. Well, he was fiddling with it. It was just luck. Just luck? I think it was just luck, yeah. Mrs. Claus and I have been going on year 1,100. Coroner relationships are complicated. Do you still love her? Yeah, I do. Damn.  Mm-hmm. I mean, the house is not that big. I feel like they should find one of the two pretty soon. No magic just goes away. Yeah, Sans is divorced. Yeah. But see, yeah, like, you know... It is. You could make that fun. It is 2022. So, of course, Dan is divorced.  John McClain losing the terrorists because it's in a skyscraper, but they would probably be checking the rooms in the house, right? Like, find him. He's in here somewhere. He got you something amazing. What could it be? This guy is really in the Christmas spirit. Yeah. With his HK416, they're really splurging. They call this... A pitch deck. It's called Explosive Force. They don't want us to like anybody except for the main guy in his family. Yeah, it's like... This guy did too many smooches.  It's so cynical. We're not even meant to like the hostages. There's a level of cynicism I would appreciate, but this is just kind of lame. Like, Linda Gertrude really did actually like it if she got the opportunity to finance a really cool, you know? They're all selfish. I get it. It's a sentimental photo of the day I was born.  Sorry, you missed again. That's gone for me. He just throws it. Tell me, how about another one? I got you a lot of good things. I'll grab one. Is it all just pictures of you at varying ages? Dude, that can be fun too if the interrogation just became him trolling the family because he realizes how much they hate each other. That's my favorite whiskey. You can skip the note. What is this drama gonna be? I don't love you. He said he was under your thumb. Yeah, he said he was like leaving the company or something. We're doing camera push-ins. It's a big thing. Thank you, Jason. Gertrude is turning up to be an interesting kind of character. I think I'll just keep that between Jason and I. Oh, they made it too obvious.  Can we get back to Sansa killing people? Yeah, we need to be violent. I even appreciate the little conversations he can have with her throughout the film. There's so much we can do. We're wasting too much time, damn it. Yeah. Kick in the homelone trap setting music and go to town, set up things in the attic. Yeah, I mean, I guess that's what we're waiting for next. Give thing, please. Oh, we're going back. I guess we're doing more.  Please call me, yeah. Nicomand. Nicomand the Red. I thought it would have been interesting if what we got before was literally the only That was not why it was. I guess there's no way. Yeah, we have to, yeah. I was a warrior, a raider, a thief. Oh, man, you used to steal presents. Somebody got in my way. Skull Crusher. Skull Crusher. My hammer, a surgeon with that thing. Used to be able to take three heads and line them up. It's okay. I wonder if maybe that should have been the opening scene or at least one half of it. And then the second half is like him at the bar. I mean, if there was a naughty list back then I'd be top dog. It's interesting that now he, you know, for eternity gives people things after being that. Maybe you can use them to do good things instead. What do you mean? Why is the girl teaching Santa things? Like a line between this sort of thing and reinvigorating his spirit. Santa should be extremely wise and sagacious. It feels a bit early for this. Yeah. Yeah, there should be second act low point stuff. Just kill people again. No, not back to those guys. And the context would probably be that you overhear her saying this to the bad guys.  Cringe.  I don't like Santa later because he doesn't wear protective gear. Exactly.  She's not looking very hard. Put her in the bag, send her away. There you go. They're all going to do the tinsel, but they've done the payoff with the Christmas tree lights. Trader. Trader. That sounds amusing. I can't catch up to him. He's too fast. Yeah. If only I had a gun that I could shoot him with. Oh, hey. Why doesn't she just shoot through the door? Yeah. Dude, the hinges. Yeah. Why? Why? That's not going to do anything. What? What? That's not what it would do. Oh, is he knocked out because of that? That's lame. Yeah. I tell me they caught Santa now. I kind of like the idea that he was getting drunk upstairs and then he had noises came down and saw all this.  Carries a chest set with him. Have they not noticed yet that it's an infinite bag?  Turn it upside down and just pour. So. You're Mr. Scrooge. That's right. But who are you? Why Noxmon? That's not how you say it. Say Jolly Old St. Nick. Jolly Old St. Nick. Yay. Yay. I like how even after doing this for a thousand years the magic is still like a mystery to him. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Oh, coconut. Yeah. I think people agree bounty is the worst of the chocolate bars. I like bounty. I didn't say don't like it. I just wanted to say that. I'm not familiar with that one.      What? They burned the bag. Oh, I feel like we could have done a lot with a bag. Yeah. It should be unburned. Watch like all the presents in the entire bank come flying out. Like maybe it'll magic back because that's how it works or something. Like Jay Longbone was saying I think that should have been like protected by its magic. Like I don't like it being incinerated like that. Now it's just gone. He just tried to destroy it and he just can't. I would prefer that, yeah. He shoots at it. Yeah. Like why won't it burn?   It's not funny. Christmas couldn't even afford a tree. No Christmas dinner. No gifts. Nothing. Nada.  Our neighbors. Our neighbors are all they had at all. I can see all that yuletide cheer through their window mocking me.  I don't care about this guy's motivation.   Yeah, he's responsible for many deaths and he's a terrible person. It's not even that. I just, that's just not fun. Just get on with it. That is why I am bad, dude.  I also just particularly hate Christmas. It's like, okay, fine.   Christmas is on the phone. Is that Huffy bike you wanted back in 82? One you wrote me 50 times about.  That's naughty. I'm Santa Claus. It wasn't ready before. I also just find it a bit like, I mean, didn't the bag make you think this is... You have a bag that seems to violate Euclidean geometry. You have him knowing everyone's names and what they want for Christmas.  Well, that would be an interesting mix where they think, forget the vault. We have Santa's magic bag. That's like more valuable than anything. Well, why are they wowed by this and not the magic bag? I totally know. Oh, there you go. I guess he's sober now. That's okay. He got his hand free so he could tap his nose and do it. That could have been a good motivation or something where he's eventually able to use his magic. You can't fit up there. It's impossible when you see one weird thing and then you think you're in a fairy tale. You just disappear. On top of knowing very oddly specific information about my wife. And just so we're clear, we're already there with the magic bag. They should have found this multi-nice list from his outfit as well. Does this mean we can finally get a long action scene? Please. I feel like we've earned it now.  Hopefully it's not. Yeah, hopefully it's more than that. What are you going to do, little elf bitch? Yeah. Hashtag fresh. Parkour. Okay, that's kind of funny. Morgan's going to save us.  I think it would have been kind of to have him say like, I'll save you and then run. Well, that's a setup for later. He could come back later in the story. Identify yourself. One of the hostages. Morgan Steele. Someone might have said this already, but this is straight out of die hard too.  I think they're ready for you. They better be. Yep. Yep. And then the bad guys too. I was going to say it. Did it not feel like the second he started speaking to them that he was going to die?  Again. Why show us this? It's not. There's no point. Keep showing us that. I don't know the bad guys. They just killed a guy. It's also going to take you ages like CG to do that. Just don't.  If they had done the parchment with the appearing simple ink, like that would have been cheaper.  I'm in to address the Santa, but I'm telling you, I'm telling you there's something weird about him. Might be the real Santa. Might be the real Santa. Yeah, maybe. This would be a fun conversation where they have to convince the extra killers and everything that it was the real Santa. I like the idea that they would push back on him being Santa, but he would then command the squad to be aware of a, you know, like dimensional traveling being that can spawn presents dresses in red. You know, it describes it all the very military way, but never uses like Santa.   My worry is that he'll wipe them all out in a generic way instead of it being fun Santa things. Wait a minute. Oh, no. Are they out of guy? No, they're still somewhere. They're out of money. We've been bamboozled. Maybe the boxes are worth money. I'm telling you, my intel was rock solid. I had guys on the inside. What an inconvenient door. Like, you're telling me they picked these things up over the threshold? Somebody must have intercepted it.  It is funny they gave up on looking for her when, as was said, if they just went room by room, they would find her easily. Santa's been walking around injured for a lot of this. Yeah, like he needs to be doing more things. Ugh. Santa. Are they going to have another conversation? Yeah, we're going to sit on the radio again. Here we go. Come on. I've accomplished nothing since their last message just to be clear. I'm sorry, I think this is it, kid. No, no, don't say that. Believe in yourself and others will believe in you. Chicks love confidence. Now go. The clitoris has spoken. That's all ready for launch. This is so that they can turn it upright. So he could hold his laptop on it. I don't get it. We were robbed of an action scene like about 10 minutes back. That's when we were old when we still haven't had it yet. I wish I could see Mrs. Clones again. They really should have combined these two scenes, though. Yeah. Oh yeah, we don't need another one of these. Is he not going to get shot because he has to go down now? Oh, jeez. What's wrong with that ring? Uh-oh. Oh, like the legendary Hamas skull crusher. Yeah. That's way more boring than it... Yeah, exactly. It's way more boring than Christmas-named one. Yeah, there's nothing Christmassy about it. We're inventing some backstory where he was this... Yes, that's what they should have done. Anuses. Did you hear a yeah in the attic? But Santa's going to lose. No, he's wrong. There's many men with rifles. He's going to deflect the bullets with the hammer. He's going to hammer them back to them Oh my goodness. Santa's going to eat through these guys. Like a plate full of cookies. Sledgehammer beats 10 automatic rifles, didn't you know? Yeah, man. You know, it's the same with everything, but like this script was the most important thing. You just spent so long getting this script right, so many jokes got to get in there.  Copy it. It's not Christmassy, that's the problem. They're doing that again, third time. What was that? What was that? I don't know. Is it a random thing or something? Why are you doing that? He hates Christmas, remember? He hates Christmas, yeah. Christmas ruined his life.  All the Santa scenes are the times where we're either praising or asking for tweaks. These scenes were just sleeping. One of your shithead kids moved the money and this upsets me. I find this distasteful. To me. What if you randomly shoot the only person who knows where it is?  That seems uncharacteristic for the...  Yeah. Candy, you stink. He's doing the thing. The TikTok influencers are actually really smart. Because that's a good payoff to have. They should do it. I hope they do. Here I come. Swinging with my bare hands. Swinging with my bare hands. Not Christmassy enough. What? What? Oh there we go. He's shanky. He did the thing. There we go. I think they got longer. Where were these skills earlier in the basement? He's been rejuvenated. Go pick up your gun while the other one is holding back. It's just so lame. Man, I really do see the... He's in the dark and he's just stabbing some random military dudes. Dude drop their weapons and start swinging. He's stabbing them all directly in the camera too. That's kind of Christmassy. Did he drop his hammer somewhere? Oh, I tried to stab him with my gun. It didn't work. Now I'm getting actually stabbed. I thought it was a stabbing gun. How many of these guys are there? A lot. You could see on the laptop there was probably like 30 or 40. So that's why they're here is so that there were more bad guys for him to kill. Because they wasted time instead of having one-on-one showdowns with the other guys. Yeah, we should have split them into two teams. I wouldn't even have the military guys. It's just like the six or seven in the mansion. Yeah. What? You didn't have your gun loaded? Not at all.  If it doesn't look this far heavy though, so that's fine. His helmet just disappeared for a second. Stop running towards him. Why would I keep running at him? He's really his job, Wic. They just set their rifles down and don't punch, punch.  Jesus Christ. No, Santa Claus. Just jolly old Saint Nick. Okay, he doesn't have a sidearm, but he has a grenade. Okay. He said I got the one. That's funny just because of how silly that is.  Yeah, he was way too quick. It's already over, isn't it? Yeah. I don't think it was very good at all. It wasn't very good. Yeah. It was pretty good. It was a really Christmas. You need a mauve. Yeah, where's the mauve? He's the final boss. I don't know why you don't see more of it. Create that level of creativity. Like if there was one bad guy who keeps narrowly escaping Santa, but he's like useless and gangly and embarrassed and maybe gets spared at the end. Something different instead of all the generic. He's killed now. He's killed now. He's killed now. He's killed now. Most of them by the hammer.  Where's my wife?  How'd you find out that we were coming off? I didn't. I was stealing it. I was planning to take the money and leave with my wife and daughter tonight and never come back here. I don't care. If you steal it, it's not her money, so you don't... I don't know. Come on, Alba. Everything she ever gave you, she made damn sure we knew she had the power to take right back. Snore. Dumbled. What are we doing here? Family therapy or doing an eye? He speaks for us all. Yeah, I like that guy. Somehow the best carries to her. Hope he's alive.  Are you shitting me? She just had a thing directly underneath the ladder that pointed where she was. They never looked.  Is it really that simple? They just never looked. I see. Because it's home alone. It's going to work on him, then, I guess. Yes, it is. He's going to get impaled. Yeah, there you go. There you go. So these are the realistic consequences of these traps. Why are you doing that? Help him off at first. Lift it up. Jesus. Come up. There's no honor among thieves, you guys.  Could be. Your life is not great from here on out. That's a lot of bowling balls. Yeah, it sucks, man.  That's a lot of bowling balls. Ew. Why would you look directly at it? Why are you looking down the bore of the nail? What are you doing? Why would you do that? Come on. Oh, they didn't put it in his eye, I guess. Oh. So he's dead then. Why is this way better than the Santa stuff? That's crazy. It's much more entertaining. Uh-oh. Oh, she's in goo. Blimey, sticky goo. If you lifted it up, why are you... The format they've been doing is that it doesn't work, but then it does work. Wait, what? Why is she... Oh. The shoes are stuck, yeah. What is that? What was up on that attic? Okay, what? What was that? How did it work?  Was that a skull? Yeah, it ripped off her flesh. Oh, God. Did you not see that? Keep going, keep walking on him. This is seriously homo-loads rip-off. Did you not see her load that up?    If we're going with the realistic consequences of home alone and have it applied to both sides. Yeah, right. I mean, movie traps like in the movie, it was so funny. When you go down and see what you've done, maybe put your fingers in your ears and sing Jingle Bells. Let's see. So the obvious joke here that she sings the whole song and they have a big fight, the two of them. Naughty. All right. I got something. All right. Well. Naughty. Why would she question the girl's innocence? Yeah, exactly. Is this going to be a twist? Is she a naughty girl? Because she's a part of that family and they're known for being swindlers or something. The thing is, though, they're known for being swindlers or something. The thing is, though, that she showed up as nice on his list and his list has got better authority than any character has. The three wise men presented him with gifts of frankincense were gold. And cold hard cash. Oh, no, cash. Oh, that's what they should have said. If he said gold and picked up cash, I would have understood that it's basically the same thing. Yeah, it should. It's time for a murder.  He enjoys what he does. That's it. And that's what you need. That's what you want. I hate to be mean. I'm so ready for this film to be finished. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.   As they shoot him first. Oh, OK. Well, now it's a little bit more complicated. Wouldn't it have been funny if they argued for ages and ages so that he just turns to the third when it shoots her? Just because he's like, I don't know. No! Oh, but there's a chimney right behind them. So... Hmm. Maybe Sass is going to pop out. Yeah. Kill him with a chimney. A white-less pitch. Chimney powers. Yeah, they are. There you go. Oh, OK. I guess it's not that then. That's how flammable it is. This is depressing. Yeah, I'm bored. I also kind of wanted them to die so. Yeah, it's them. So they got him. Oh, she's like the armorer from The Mandalorian. She's fighting with tongs. It would have been way funnier if he just pulled open a grenade so they hadn't realized. What was that sound? That's the sound that it would make. Your jaw makes when it slaps together. It goes m-m-m-m-well. The squishy head sounds. Oh, there you go. Hi. Hi. OK, so that is just it for him, really. OK, wow.   I love how there was a fucking... the fireplace was set up. It was all right there. I didn't even do it. I didn't even get a fireplace.  We're sitting right there. Pulls him back up through the chimney. Imagine he grabs him, does the teleport, and it grinds the whole body through the chimney and shoots out the top at a big fountain.  That would have been great. That would have been the perfect ending for that character because he's so wacky. I kind of hate this movie, even though there's plenty I like in it. I kind of hate it. There are some things I like, but a lot of it is... It was right there. You had all of the things you needed to do a cool movie. Aim! Shit! Look through the scope! Oh, my head. Here I go again, killing everyone with my hammer. All right, what are we going to do with this? I was thinking to go right through him. Yeah. Because the film's already subsided anyway. You could even do something fun with just a normal snowball, if he just used them. Oh, thunder and the walls. Yeah, like the snowball has magic freezer burn. Why not do the joke? Damn. The naked gun joke. We throw the snowball at guys' face, and he goes, ah! Like he's like, oh, fuck! I'm completely, you know, just like with the towel. It's almost like they're setting up a special snowball here, and then it hits him, and it's just like, oh, okay. You do that joke, too. He takes ages to make it, throws it, and it doesn't, well, it's a snowball, so. Fuck, Trudy! No, no, no! No, you really can't. Why don't you have a seat right over there? It's all looking out. They rekindled. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.   That's right, because he got hit with a snowball. Remember? Oh, you could have punched him. Or hit him with baby Jesus. I can take a swing, you pussy. So shame. Your wife depends on it.  But I guess not.    Yeah. How is it 20 minutes left? I don't know. I feel like there should be four minutes left. This was desperately in need of being... This film would be way... You could edit it down by about probably 20 minutes. It would be way, way better paced. Yeah.  Just one is fine. You don't need three. One at the second act low point. And we need to have him fighting the people in a way that's actually Christmassy.  There's just so many things I could have done. This makes me sad. It's all these guns lying around. It should have been a combo of Home Alone and Die Hard. That's the easy way to go. Oh, wow. Oh, I guess you don't want her then. Oh, that came out of nowhere. What?  Well, that'll be a big payoff then. You believe in touching your throat there. That was lame. Wow, that just went right in. I thought the obvious thing was the other guy too. No, my jelly neck. Wow. That's a lie. I thought the other guy... That was terrible. Oh, he didn't even get... He didn't even get to save his wife. He didn't even get to, like, be a courageous person and save... Oh, that's fucked. That's it. Yeah, this is odd. He's 2022.  They couldn't even do the we did it. It was more of a you did it. She did it all. Yeah, the idea that he's not, like... He's not a fighter, you know? That's fine. But him working up the courage and being brave to save his wife and she's in peril like, no, I can't do that. The other pay-offs you can have is that he takes a hit for it or that he distracts the enemy for it or he works with it to kill him. But no, he took away all of those. Nope. Pussy from beginning to end.  Come on. I'm gonna have a shot now. That icicle thing was die-hard, too, as well. It's Santa versus Scrooge. But I guess... I think it's just wearing the die-hard references on its sleeve. Isn't Scrooge a very misplaced choice of codename, too, because of what Scrooge ends up doing in his own story, if you know what I mean? Oh, no. Why'd you do that? It should be Krampus.   Why? How are the bullets just like when he started... Yeah, what? It's like, that's a big weapon. I guess now we'll have to have a melee fight because I'm out of bullets. That's just how that goes. Oh, let him waste some more first. Do you want to shoot him or not? What are you shooting at? You don't even get anything. The wall? Oh, I'm out of bullets. What? Oh, wait. Dammit. I wasted all my ammo. If only I knew how guns work.  Am I on it? Oh, my God. Oh, my name's right there when I ask. No, the nicest. Killed his best friend. Spreads misery. Murderers. Am I the bad guy? You're... him.  I don't know. Yeah, the magic.    I think it goes beyond Santa at this point. Oh, my God. Christmas dies tonight. Don't even believe it. Oh, my God. Is that a reference to the... Christmas dies tonight. Evil dies tonight? Evil dies tonight? Yeah. Evil dies tonight. There's no way that Santa loses. This is like his ultimate element. Yeah. He's got his sledgehammer. He's doing melee combat. Yeah, this is just a guy. He's got a boss health bar, though, so... That's the point that he's supposed to justify why he has a boss health bar, but they didn't do anything. Shouldn't they be fighting in some kind of town Christmas grotto thing? Yeah. You know, like hot fuzz? It should be that, but like a Christmas recreation and that they're stomping through it, you know? The grand finale is that a Christmas tree falls and then he gets impaled on all the, like, branches or something.  Yeah, he gets impaled on branches. He's very good at fighting in the snow. Yeah, why does this sack so bad? In fact, why isn't he wearing ice shoes himself?  Wow. I think you're out. That's a sledgehammer. That should probably hurt. They want to make it epic, but they didn't justify this. Santa should have been very wounded at this point or something. I'm just wondering how the chimney's going to play into it. Oh, wow. I guess he wasn't really holding onto that. It would be kind of cool if he was, like, if they justified why he was beating Santa to then have Santa teleport up to the top and slam down on him. It's tough. Yeah, I've saw it be really interesting. Yeah, yeah. Oh, they've set it up too much. He's set it up too much. Yeah, he ruined it.  Oh, my God. Crucifying him. The last Christmas. I've got to say a thing before you die. God, if you still believe. What? I feel like we've earned that at all. Oh, my God. Oh, man. Oh. That's my pay off. That's my header. That's my header. Yeah, I'm dying. Yeah, okay. Yeah, play. I had a feeling. All right. You know, I still feel like it would have been better earlier than this. But you know what? At least I finally did it. He's getting shot. That was being shot. Okay. By the woman, by Gertrude.   There she is. I would have moved her, grabbed it or something. I would have moved myself instead of maybe they weren't accepting it. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. You saved my daughter. Oh, is he going to become Santa? Oh, no. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. You've passed off the Christmas spirit.  There's no way. How come there isn't some paramedic elves that show up or something? That would be funny. That would be great. Paratrooping. Santa got another fight tonight. Yeah, and then they get rifles and they secure the perimeter and they got their You know what else would be awesome if they could get like a cameo? Like Jason Statham is the lead elf. What movie is it where there's like a SEAL Team 6 elf force? I'm sure that exists. It's not elf, is it? I think I used to bought my Christmas magic. Santa, please don't say. Wake up. I'm dead now. Out of time, baby. Just wake up. Hang on. I'm believing super duper hard. Believe harder. Oh, I am so, so sorry. I told you Santa isn't real. I guess he just doesn't care that much about us, please. Not anymore. Yeah, also, yeah. I guess your belief was for nothing. Brave, brave man, whoever he was. Whoever he was. I still believe in him. Oh, they are doing it. I refuse to believe this is actually Santa. I do believe in Santa. I'm sorry. I do. I do. I believe in him too. Boring. He's just not over. Just end. All these decapitated dudes walk on. I almost give it points. I believe in Santa. If they all did, I believe that he's just still dead. And it cuts to his funeral. I believe in him too.  I guess I do. That's just how it works.  You can just flick it on. A little bit confused because he's right there.  So I guess you do believe in him. They still have to be so cynical.  I guess.  I'm above it all. Your belief has cured my internal bleeding. Christmas magic. Mechanics unclear. Well, yeah, I wouldn't have imagined it to be like... What about all the people around the world who believe in him? Why did it have to be these fuckers? Proximity of belief gives him power. I was just thinking that. Yeah, I guess you have to be nearby and believing. All of them provide an aura. We just burned half a million dollars. You burned half a million dollars? Didn't look like you burned them a lot. And also that's still 299,500,000 that you've got. Sorry we ditched you. Sorry, but there was gunfire and we are reindeer. We don't get to see the elves, which I feel like is... Missed opportunity for sure. Yeah, at the end. You could even have had... It was one elf that came in, one of his bestest friends ever, and like he dies halfway through the movie or something. You got my sack. Wow, so the real sack really did get destroyed. I figured it would be invincible. Yeah, I thought it was just gonna respawn. Mrs. Claus, see? There it is. Oh, wow. So the just-in-time for the movie to be over. The different sacks share the same load of presents for all the kids in the world? Very poor choice of words. I guess if they connect to the same room... It was a portal that takes it to the present world. The present world. We're often asked the question of, what film would you like to see remade? This. This. It is a good premise to have, but it could have been done better. I'd save about 10% of this film. Remake it, animate it. I would think I'd keep it live-action. Is there any reason why you wouldn't want it to be an animated film, Rex? I think there's some sort of like a real quality that really sells probably a lot of the jokes in the viewer.  In a sense, animation is better because you can buy it more, you can get more immersed when I would want to be more so cranking up the absurdity.  Look, he's reinvigorated. Okay, cool. Still bleeding though.  What if I hit the moon? He's going to the moon now. Damn. Yeah, that was... What an incredibly wasted opportunity. Missed opportunity, yeah. I felt like there was a good hour of nothing in there. We could have had some really cool and interesting stuff, some funny stuff, but we did not. It just degenerated into like shitty action movie. Well, they had the premise, so our work's done. Then we can just make a movie and just have it be whatever. Yeah, it's like, look, it's Santa. He's hitting the army man in the dark. It's Santa. That's really funny, isn't it, because it's Santa. That can carry us for the whole movie instead of doing anything with the premise. Part of the saddest thing I think about watching this film is the little glimpses of good that are in there where you go, oh, they do kind of understand what they're trying to do here and then they just never fulfill it. It's a ton of potential and frustration that they just didn't go into it further. It should have been a machine gun of jokes. Should have been nonstop visual references, visual gags, and obviously plenty of dialogue and wacky characters bouncing off each other and then absurd things happening.   Yo, a scoochy squad from Locker. Living the dream. You know it. See this guy? Dead as hell. Santa's real. All right? Don't end up on the naughty list. Do better. Bert Leistone out. We needed this. Social media kid. Oh, that was lame. Social media.  That was, yeah.   Oh, yeah. The action is most of the time. Really bad. Yeah. The first two were right when he fought one on one against the- When he fought that one dude and he was struggling to kill him, it's like that was a pretty- That was all right. That was pretty good. Yeah. At that point, I thought that's what they were going for. He was like to kill them one by one and then has to get to the last guy and he's wounded. Yeah, that's what I thought. He's just like, oh, look, armyman. Yeah. And look, he's got a hammer now and it's... I don't know anything about it.    And then it's like, no, not really. This is the random boyfriend. The characters.  Santa's the only one that we're vaguely interested in. If we kept it like tight on the family, you could have like four little mini characters essentially surrounding the idea of the heist.  But then when the moment truly does call for him to be heroic, maybe he even sacrifices himself or does a very heroic thing for real. Not acting, but he does it for real. And that's like a little mini story that he does and he saves another character from dying. And then you have the kid. Instead, the kid is on the naughty list as we talked about. And they become nice because of the events of the story. They do things and they help people out and they talk with Santa. And of course, the kid doesn't believe it's Santa at first, but then she believes it's Santa and then she becomes good and that sort of thing. What I'm understanding is you want some sort of like an arc. Like a story. Like they could have tried. The more I was thinking about it, I was going to combo the ideas really from my self-adfriggy, that maybe the people are kidnapped and taken to the stronghold of Krampus, right? And you go through each of the rooms and each of the main mini bosses. We do that thing again we talked about, where instead of many nameless, we have like four main bad guys that work for Krampus. They have themed areas. They have a hostage each and he's got to get to them and save them, blah, blah, blah. But then the reveal is that Krampus isn't actually Krampus. He's like a puppet and it's the Easter Bunny. And that's the big reveal. And it's about the jealousy of the holidays. That could be really fun. And you can theme it all on top of the whole story we're trying to tell.  I don't even know what I've ever had, but it would have been very interesting. If Santa gets, like he passes out after he, or he gets hit in the head in a fight or he passes out. And then you get that little flashback, that first flashback they show of him like as a Viking warrior or something with blood on his face in a battle. And that's it. Yeah. No more. They never show it again.   Is this like Santa's past? What happened? What's the con? And they never show it again. There's no, oh, I had a hammer named Skullcrusher. And I was really bad. And I was like greater or whatever. Yeah, I hit people's heads with it. It's like, no, no, don't do that. You show us that little flashback from his past when he got knocked out and just leave it there. And what does it mean? I don't know. Does Santa have a dark past? What's going on? What's the mythology of Santa that they're kind of sticking with? Mystery is gay, Rags.  So many missed opportunities. I guess the highlight was the home alone portion. I guess. Mainly because of the fact that it's just... It started to pick up steam a little more. It's a meme that's been done before in different environments like YouTube, but it's just home alone with realistic consequences. That's why it's funny. But it also lasts for two and a half minutes. That's what I was saying. Yeah, you have the idea that it starts off, he notices like a few of the traps and nails and stuff, and he obviously steps around them, but then he legitimately misses one and he doesn't see a trap and the kid was maybe a bit cleverer than he thought. And it takes him out of the fight. It doesn't have to kill him or anything. Something happens and he's out of the fight so Santa can take him out or something like that. He gets an assist because of the home alone trap. I think if we're calling it a high point, it's only because it's a snippet of what we expected this film to be. I know if, yeah, it's like we were peeking into it. Yeah, we were peeking into the concept of this film done in a decent way. But that high point was not... It didn't last very long and it didn't get high enough. Really don't have any decent characters in it. Krampus was like the goofy henchman. He gets hit by tongs in a... Yeah, we just don't have anything. The media guy, the Bert, he does the Bert locker. He doesn't do anything except randomly say that one smart thing about not shooting people randomly. But he doesn't do anything. We don't do anything with his character. He's just annoying. The actor guy is just annoying. Like if you want to have some family drama or whatever, like, okay, if you guess, but you can do something with it. Perpetually annoyed at how much was wasted with the naming conventions and why wasn't the main bad guy called Krampus? I'm sorry.  Why would you give it to the goofball? They never called each other by their names ever again, which just means that's another wasted opportunity. I guess they highlighted that it was dumb in universe and so is that supposed to make us think that they didn't even want to do that? I don't know. I don't know. I use the bathroom. You all wrap it up. Okay.  That's like, oh, wait, there's no money in it. Where is it? Right? Like that would be cool if you did like an arc like that where like the kid is like bad and sort of learns to be good through the progress of the movie and ends up on the good list or something like that. But like, I guess they were just like, oh, well the child is the heart of the movie. So she's got to be good right off the bat. I would like to know if any of these characters had an arc. Literally none of them do. In fact, the father who is the weakling and doesn't have any, you know, stand up against anything continues to not stand up against anything. Except when he says, oh, I stole all the money.  There's no arcs for any of them at all. None of them grow. They all believed in Santa in the end. Because they saw a reindeer.  They saw him doing magic and they were like, oh, well, I guess if you're doing magic, you must be him, I suppose. Yeah. It kind of reminds me of the Santa Claus, you know, the Tim Allen movie by the end of the film, the two cynical parents finally believing him. They just felt that he was real and then it was a really emotional scene. But this is, it had to be with this movie. It had to be dragged out of them. Your size of disappointment tell me more than any words ever could. It felt to me way too derivative of the die-hard movies. If you want to do the premise of die-hard, I get it because a lot of movies have tried to do that sort of framework. But then as soon as the guys in the Arctic Camo show up on the snowmobiles, it's like, this is so much like die-hard too. And then it's like they take off and then Santa chases them. It's like, this is just like die-hard too. I can't stop thinking about that movie now. You're just doing that movie. It's the right way because it's not inspired at all in terms of like, oh, that's a fun twist on an old, like, good thing. Oh, it just is the thing. You're just doing the same thing. Yeah, worst version of it too. Yeah, it wasn't even clever in the way that die-hard too was. In the original die-hard too, they show up and you kind of suspect that they're, these guys are up to no good, aren't they? But then like Bruce Willis has a line where it's just like, well, he has a line that suggests they're the bad guys, but then there's a plot thing that happens that made you think, oh, okay, they're the good guys. But then it's like, oh, no, no, they're actually the bad guys. There's a little bit of a little bit of complexity to it, but in this, it's just like right off the bat, you know, like they show up and they're going to be like not good for Santo and the hostages. There's no pretense of them being characters, but yet they get a lot of screen time. I don't understand the priorities. Why would you just be hyper-focused on Santo? That's like, that's the selling point of the film is, ah, it's Santo and he's not the Santo you know and he's going to fight a bunch of bad guys, but instead so much of the focus is on elements that are thin, really thin. There's too much screen time on like the people who live in the house because like the original diehard originally you would cut away to like Holly, like in the Nakatomi building, having her, that weird sort of business relationship she has with that guy who gave her the watch or whatever, but for the most part, like that whole first act is just following Bruce Willis going all the way up to Nakatomi and I liked that it followed him so tightly. The problem with this one too is like they made all the hostages just equally completely unlikable.  And the only person who really does anything is the actor man and he basically gets punished for it when he actually does a little bit of heroic stuff and then breaks out of the window to go get help and then he gets killed for it.  The dad was just worthless character, completely pointless. You could have essentially eliminated the actor guy as a character and made the dad sort of him and maybe he thinks he's, you know, maybe he dies in the movie, you know, protecting the kid or whatever, doing something truly heroic, not just acting and to say something like that. There's stuff you could have done, you could have done stuff. That's the worst part about it, Regs, is how much of this is like, oh, this is a great concept and there's some shining bits throughout it where you could have tied this together and you're really neat and you did, it's just so wasted. I'm watching your movie and off the top of my head I'm just like having all of these much better ideas live as I'm watching your movie. It's almost like if you were making this movie, you bring this movie to the meeting to be like, look at how you do not do this and then watch the scenes and see if they inspire you to want to fix it. And it's so frustrating, like all these ideas that could have been potentially put in, like that was all at the screenplay level and it costs nothing. Wouldn't you have written the part where like the winter camel guys come in and be like, we're just doing Die Hard 2 here, aren't we? Like, how can we mix this up a little bit, you know? But they didn't even bother. It's just like, let's just get this Santa movie out with David Harbourkin people. They thought the premise could carry them that the fact that they had the idea meant that their work was done. Forgetting that you need to, like the idea itself is fine. But the idea like execution is everything.  It's just like, it's lame. It's really lame. That's the main take I have for the film. Lame, lame, lame. John Leguizama walks into the living room with that little Christmas jingle and it just like doesn't rhyme at all. It's not, there's way too many syllables. It's just like, what do you think of something? What are we doing? You're wasting time. You're wasting an opportunity. Every scene that you have is an opportunity and you're not taking those opportunities. You have the scene, of course, we all knew it was coming. It was just a matter of how it happened.  He really didn't do anything with that when he says their names and what they wanted. It doesn't amount to anything. The guy was really amazed that he remembered his name and what he wanted as a bike and then, oh, Santa's on the floor.  It doesn't mean anything. And that could have been the payoff of the very end for the bad guy. He calls him his real name. Something like that, you know? Because he has this knowledge and you can choose one if he wants to actually use it. And we never do, we didn't do anything with the sack that was really interesting. The sack should have been in the whole movie. It's only the one thing. The bad guy pulled out a candy cane, right? And then he was like, wait, what? Well, you only stabbed a present, that was it. Or they're like fighting in the sacks between them and they both reach in to grab something and they both pull out something like comedic. One of them has a ukulele and the other has a basketball or something and it's wrapped to shape exactly like what it is, you know? And then maybe they drop it and try and pull out another thing and it's another useful thing. And they do that, you know, there's so much you could do with the idea of a magic sack that you pull things out of. I mean, whole Twilight Zone episodes and everything are written about it. But they don't do anything, it just gets thrown in the fire and it's gone. And I'm like, no, you bastard, you're burning an incredibly cool and fun tool that you could use for the whole movie. And then again, like the Texas shotgun thing that I'd mentioned would have been hilarious, I think. That's to my own horn, but that would have been so funny. It pulls out a shotgun with a bow on it. He doesn't interact in any interesting way with any of the villains. All the villains are just evil. None of them are just there for the money or they don't actually want to kill anyone or they're actually on the nice list but they've been roped into this for whatever reason. Or one of them finds that it's really Santa and then it changes their mind. Something, but they don't do anything interesting with any of them. Well, the guy with the history was Santa. You could have been the villain. You could make the villain the one with the history with Santa or... What I was suggesting before is you can go both directions, right? The villain is completely... He hates Christmas but he's never met Santa but then you can have a minister who's fought Santa before because it's funny. But oh well. Oh well. I mean, I'm sure we'll get another attempt at this. True. That's the movie's theme song. Apparently they're making another one. Maybe in the works. Hopefully it's better. You kind of blew the premise the first time. You're going to have quite the hill to climb now. Yeah, I don't know. I think they might be doing the same thing again. Well, I think they're doing it in Santa's workshop with his elves or something like that. I don't know. An assault on the compound, Santa's compound? Yeah, something like that. That actually wouldn't work for the first... It would probably like John Leguizamo's brother or something. You'll kill my brother.  Okay, bye. Okay, bye. Merry Christmas. I'm happy new year. Bye. What are you going to do, little elf bitch? What did you bring me?


This is why narcissists manipulate you. All you will ever get from a narcissist is manipulation or an illusion. And the reason why is because they have nothing else to give. All they can do is influence and control you in a dishonest way. They can only behave in a way that is untrustworthy, deceitful and insincere. In a way that is intended to mislead you, that will cause you to have the wrong idea or impression. It's the only thing a narcissist can give to you. But really, they can't give you anything at all. Because the illusion isn't anything of meaningful significance or value, it's just an instance of a wrong or misinterpreted perception of a sensory experience. It's a deceptive appearance or impression, a false idea or belief, where they are trying to make you believe that there is more than meets the eye. As though it's more complex, more important or more interesting than it seems at first. As though it's more difficult to understand. Or as though it involves more things than you thought at the beginning. When it's actually very simple, it's just manipulation. And that's all there is to it. That is the only thing that they can give to you. But they're not really giving you anything at all. You're choosing to go along with it. You're choosing to take the blue pill and into the matrix. But you could also make a different choice. You could choose to recognize it for what it is. And if you do that, you will immediately see a different side of them. A side that is closer to who they actually are. Because narcissists actually have nothing to give to you or anyone else. By default, all they can do is take. Because they have no inner sense of value. They have a void that they are constantly trying to fill. And sometimes they're like positive supply, while other times they're like negative supply. Positive supply includes flattery, praise, adoration, and attention. While negative supply includes fear and submission.  Someone who acts unwisely. Someone who they can trick or deceive. They're not even going to try to get that from a powerful or intelligent person.  You have too much knowledge and experience. So they will settle for someone who is unknowing and unaware. Someone who is going to be more responsive and receptive. Because that's how they get supply. But if they know they're not going to get a positive supply from you. They may often settle for negative supply. Which they will obtain by devaluing you or discarding you. By triangulating you or starting a smear campaign against you. Because that also feeds their ego and makes them feel powerful and important. It distracts power and energy from you. Which they will harvest to attract their next source of supply. And sometimes you may begin to question yourself. You may assume that it has something to do with you. As though you're not attractive enough or you don't have much money. And while narcissists do often target the best of the best. You will also notice that they downgrade. They will choose someone who is far less attractive. Someone who doesn't have their own car or home. As long as they're susceptible to them in relation. As long as they know that they're going to stick around. Because they want a certain outcome and result. They want a person's full attention and focus. They want their validation. And they will be utterly ruthless and determined in their attempt to achieve that. Regardless of how wealthy or attractive you may be. And they will manipulate people in order to get that. Without any consideration for the damage that they cause to people. Because they haven't got anything to lose. All they care about is what they want. And they will do whatever it takes to get it. They don't share the same attitude or perspective. They don't share the same point of view. Because they're all for themselves. They're only pursuing their own interest. They're not interested in anyone else's well-being but their own. Which is why they will often come across as unfriendly and unfavorable. And lacking in decisiveness. Without strength or character. They will seem aggressive, brutal, competitive, fierce and merciless. Because they're only concerned with serving themselves at other people's expense. So they lack a motive response. They have an inability to regulate their own emotions. Which may often show up as a fluctuation of mood, mood swings or liable mood. Where they are experiencing emotional dysregulation. Because they need people's energy and emotions. But they can only get that if you're willing to hand it over to them. By being receptive to their manipulation and validating their illusion. By allowing them to subject you to danger or harm. Or by forcing you into a place or situation from which there is no escape. Narcissists feel entitled to lie to people. But if you're not willing to accept their lies. They're not going to want to be around you. Because they don't want to be challenged or confronted. They don't want to be held accountable. They feel entitled to lie. Because they have this false character which they use to manipulate people. Which they are also detached from. Which is how it's so easy for them to discard you. Because they can't even connect to you. They have no interest in you or anyone else. In their minds they are superior to you. You're hanging on and you're following them. You're just for recreational use.  As long as you're willing to go along with their games. Or until they find something better. But the more curiosity and concern you show for them. The more likely it is that they will keep you around. Even though they have no interest in you. They have no interest in anyone. They lack the ability to be interested in someone. And there is nothing you can do to excite their curiosity or attention. Because there's just nothing there. They're only interested in themselves. Because in their minds they're greater than you. They've got you all figured out. They know all that they need to know. So there's just nothing you can do to uplift or inspire them. You may think that you're causing strong feelings or excitement in them. But they're just pretending. They're behaving in a way to make it appear as though it's real. When in actuality it's not. They feel nothing. They're not connected or attached to you. And in time you will see that. Because they will begin to treat you as though you're not significant or important. As though you're worthless and beneath their consideration. They will devalue and discard you. They can only assign this illusion of significance to you. And then in time you will realise that you are expendable and disposable. You're able to be thrown away after use. Because they don't actually want you. They don't even see you. All they see is what you have and what you could bring to them. But they will never tell you this. They will hide it from you. But if you listen to the things they say. And you look back at their past relationships. You will see that they don't believe anything was ever their fault. They don't believe that they've ever made a mistake. In their minds it was always some of the person's actions or behaviour. Even though they were the features shared by all of those people. And everyone says the same things about them. Everyone can see that they have no particular interest or sympathy. They're unconcerned. They show an attitude of patronising superiority. They're arrogant and entitled. They're impolite and disrespectful. They habitually seek to harm and intimidate those who they perceive as vulnerable. They show a desire to want to dominate and control people. And you can confront them and try to explain this to them. But they will always shift a blame onto someone else. Because in their minds people are objects. They're just a means to an end. They're disposable. They're not something you should treat in a serious manner. You don't have to be sincere or genuine with them. You can deal with them in a way that lacks heart, spirit or interest. As though you're superior to them. Which is very easy for them to do because they lack empathy. They have no interest in bonding with people and spending time with them. And getting to know who you actually are as a person. Because they have no interest in growth or development. But they will go along with it. And they will hide it from you. But something won't feel right. You will feel empty and confused as a result of the lack of connection. And you may even fear confronting them. Because they're training you to be afraid of expected to be treated with due regard for your feelings, wishes and rights. With admiration for your abilities, qualities and achievements. Because they think you're just something they can get rid of. They see you as something temporary. They think you're not going anywhere. Which is why they feel entitled to say and do as they please. Without any consideration of the possible consequences. Without any accountability. Without considering how it might make you feel or how it might affect your children. They see that you're trying to connect. And you're wanting to get to know them. They will see that it's real. And they will play along with it. But they're not really serious about it. They don't mean what they say. It's not coming from their heart. Which is why in time you will begin to see the signs of their narcissism. You will recognize their negative traits. You will see that they're highly unpleasant and unenjoyable. They're unfriendly and bad tempered. They're unpleasant and unattractive. They're arrogant and unforgiving. And they're just not something you want to be around. You may not see it in the beginning. But in time it will begin to surface because they don't mean anything they say. They're hypocrites. They put on a false appearance of virtual religion. They may say that they have particular moral beliefs. But they will behave in a way that shows they are not sincere. While gaslighting you until you are too afraid to challenge or confront them or to call to prove or justify something. There is always a double standard with narcissists. They will listen to everything you're saying which may just be in response to what they're doing to you.  While holding you accountable. While twisting your words to persecute you.  But they won't let you do that to them. They won't let you hold them accountable for their actions. And in the process of denying you of that right they will target your self-esteem.  They will make you feel like you're clumsy or awkward as though you're generally ineffective as just the effects of what they're doing to you.  They will bring up things from the past. They will remind you of times when you had defects or flaws. They will remind you of your failed relationships. Everything you've shared with them will be used against you. And they will gaslight you into believing that they are your saviour. Your god. Someone who can save you from danger, difficulty or harm. This hero. A brave person who is going to rescue you while they're putting you down. While they're making you feel less than who you actually are to deprive you of the ability to function normally and confront them on anything. They will lower you in. They will make you feel like they understand you. They will tell you what you want to hear. But they don't mean what they say. It's not genuine. Which is why in time they will gaslight you. And if you try to hold them accountable they will abuse and mistreat you. They will treat you cruelly and unfairly over a long period of time. They will punish you. Until you believe that it's just not worth confronting them. And you will feel drained and lifeless just from being around them. Like you've just given up on truth and reality. You will become absent-minded. Forgetful and inattentive. You will experience retardation. As though it's delaying and slowing your psychological progress and development. And you will just give in. You will accept whatever they throw at you. You will agree to do what they want. You will accept their opinion. And in the end they will twist it around and use it to justify them further persecuting you. Thank you for watching. If you found this video helpful please give it a thumbs up.

Trust me, it looks really great, trust me, the fu- What up fellas, it's your boy Johnny, and we all know accessories can really spice up an outfit. It's one of those things that adding to your wardrobe will drastically change how an outfit can look and feel, and it is definitely the most overlooked thing that I see when composing an outfit. You know, kinda like wall art when you get your own place. I mean, my studio looked hella plain, but then I put up some sound foam, added this New York wall art, this tree and clothing rack, ugh, it's coming together. That really gives off this dope vibe, and that is what accessories will do for you. Anyways, today we got an essential accessory, we're pretty much any time of the year, especially the summertime. We are gonna talk about how to wear sunglasses, and I want you to stop thinking that it's all about the face shape. It's not. Quick things I gotta get out the way, you don't need to spend a premium to get the look that you want. Look, these are $10 and these are $5 that I got on the streets of New York City. When you pay more for sunglasses, you pay for them to last. You pay for the quality of course, and the brand itself. But I'd advise you to invest a little bit more into the shades if they are a daily wear. But for something like these, I only wore it for a photo shoot, so don't pay a crazy price. Now let's get started.   And if you haven't already, watch my color blocking video so you can learn the basics of color theory and color blocking. But one thing I didn't talk about too much was your skin undertone. And so to keep it simple, there is a warmer skin undertone and then there's a cooler skin undertone. And bear with me, I'm gonna say skin undertone a lot. But an easy way to tell what your skin undertone is, is look at your veins. If your veins have shades of green, that means you have a warmer skin undertone.   And the darker skin fellas, or people of color, are more likely to have a warmer skin undertone like myself. What do these mean? Well, warmer means gold looks great on you, so copying gold chains and gold rings will complement your skin color. And cooler means you're better off with silver accessories. That is why I like to wear more shades that have gold accents. Now this is a really good guide to follow, but I still wear both anyways, even though I am a warmer skin undertone guy. And plus, if you get a tan, that can kinda change your skin undertone, so you might sway on either side. Now we can talk about face shape, which this is also a really good guide as well. But if you genuinely like a pair of shades and you think it looks good on you, then cop it. The only thing that matters is that you like it. So wear what you want. So we got a ton of face shapes out there, we got the ones where you can calculate its radius, and we got the others where you need a protractor to measure its angle. Circular, oval, square, and triangular. Basically I like to categorize it as either angular or round. Now more round shape guys can pull off the more angular sunglasses really well, because the sharp angles can really balance out the roundness of your face.  And if you have a more angular shape face, then round shape lenses are more suited for you. So your standard aviators or teardrop aviators, clubmasters, or just circular shades are what you're going to want to incorporate with your outfits. It's all about balance as Thanos would say, and Thanos would probably look best with round shaped sunglasses to balance out his angular, easy 350 heel of a chin. And if you have a more oval shaped face like me with some angles, then you can pull off both. It's a good happy medium, so I like to rock clubmasters. I think most of you look great with clubmasters. They're a pretty trendy shape and it's angular, but also round, so that is why it's my go-to and why it can work for most face shapes. Now today's video is sponsored by Jade Black, which is a sunglasses company that was started because finding a high quality pair of shades that doesn't falcon punch your wallet is pretty hard nowadays. Now of course you can find cheap shades like I mentioned earlier, but I've dropped my cheap ones and the lenses popped off, they scratch easily and that's why I hardly ever wear them. But with Jade Black, they are priced very well at $50 each and they are still made with Italian cellulose acetate that other brands like Goosey and Versace and YSL use. They also come with stainless steel, not that nickel plated BS that gives me rashes. I don't know if that's common, but am I the only one that gets rashes whenever I wear belts or watches? I don't know, it's probably just me. And they are polarized with UVA and UVB protection, so when you're at the beach or you see snow, that reflection won't be so harsh that it damages your eyes and as you can tell, I don't have very much surface area on my eyeballs. So I gotta do everything I can to protect them. So guys, click the link in the description if you guys use my discount code. The price will actually be $44, unlike your $360 pair of Goosey sunglasses that have pretty much the same quality as the Jade Black ones.  And when you do click that link, it'll take you to their site where they even have a quiz to determine the best pair of shades for your face shape. And for every pair you purchase, one, you get free shipping in the United States.  I don't know, I think that's worth it. And you can save your eyeballs.  So this all comes down to you. Shades are made up of a ton of materials and design. It just depends on what accents you like. Me personally, I don't like frames with an extra bridge. Yes, it gives it some rigidity, but I don't think it looks really good on me. I just like a simple single bridge. I also like the ones with a tortoise shell pattern with gold accents. That's why I love these Clubmasters so much. And these other pair of tortoise shaped sunglasses as well. But yes, that is up to you. You got these other frames that are more trendy. These are the clear specters with a blue cool tone lens. And like I said earlier, I like to wear these for my photo shoots. These are picked up from a street vendor in New York for only $5. I would also definitely avoid an all-white pair of sunglasses. Because white is so contrasting to any piece on your outfit. It just doesn't look right to me unless you're snowboarding or something. Otherwise, keep in mind about the lens color, if it's reflective and make sure the frames aren't too small on your face and also not too wide where the frames flare out. As far as outfits go, honestly, don't even worry about it. You can pretty much rock any outfit with any pair of shades. Because the more you think about a piece on your outfit, the more it can bother you. Just rock any frame, walk out like you just spiked your best friend who's good at smash and don't even trip. But obviously, you got your bad boy style, which is something I'm not really into much right now. But that is a classic style that pairs really well with shades. But for me, I'll just wear them with any outfit, just to save my eyes. Alright, fellas, I hope this video helped you out. Block out the sunlight, block out the kids on campus because you don't want to socialize. But when you do socialize, make sure you take your frames off so you can be nice. And please, please, please take off your shades inside buildings, subways and all that. Don't be that guy. Also, bro, if you ever do a photo shoot at night, bring a pair of shades. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but as you can see, you can see my studio lights. You can see the reflections. Trust me, it looks really great. Trust me, the f- Sorry, guys, my tree fell. Anyways, bring a pair of shades to a night photo shoot with some neon lights. It looks really good. Makes for a great shoot. Follow me on Instagram at flywithjohnytie.
