Rebel Ridge & Blippi (again)

Rebel Ridge

 

Reegs: Welcome to Bad Dad's Film Review. Devastated to learn that Mark Zuckerberg has announced the end of fact checking on Facebook. Yeah, and as the world's number one ranked podcast, we are truly appalled by that.

Word mangler Dan is at the helm of this week's show and it's perhaps because of his tendency to mutilate the language that he's chosen to start things off with the top five speeches. Our review this week is Jeremy Saulnier's stylish Netflix action thriller about small town police corruption, systemic fuckery, and hyper competent badasses in Rebel Ridge, and in a prospect I felt was about as compelling as watching your grandma attempt parkour, Dan invited us to take what is in fact our third look at moronic multi coloured man child Blippi in Blippi's Ultimate Bounce House Challenge Episode 1 Ball Pit, and it would not bother me if I never had to watch another Blippi thing again I had Uh, a quick disclaimer before we start.

Though we try not to be too blokey, this podcast will inevitably contain content that some listeners find offensive, hilarious, stupid, or both. If you're looking for something less sweary, please check out former Bad Dad Howie's podcast, A History of Beige, hosted exclusively on Wonderly, probably. But that All that's left to do is introduce the actual dad, starting with Dan, he's so old his dating service is carbon.

Next up, say hello to Chris, the man who could be a Calvin Klein model in a perfume ad, but might need instructions on how to open the bottle. And then coming in all hot and bothered in third place is the man who told me off air just moments ago that he saw a poster for a dog show, and you said, I think, hey, I could go on all fours and you could enter me.

It's Sidey, and then there's me, Riggs. Hello.

Cris: Hello

Dan: Hi.

Sidey: Hello.

Dan: Yeah, thanks for that loving intro again.

Reegs: That's okay, yeah. You're alright.

Dan: do I mangle my words ever? I think I'm pretty

Cris: Surely not. You're very

Reegs: years of

Cris: in your

Dan: in your, yeah. Okay. Other than that though

Cris: Very eloquent in your delivery of words.

Dan: Thank you very much, Chris and I, I must say that you are one of the smartest people that I've ever met, contrary to.

Cris: What Simon has led us to

Reegs: to deliver.

Cris: But, don't worry.

It's okay. Speaking of dogs, are you actually going to get a dog or not? Yeah, speaking like, not sexually, but just, you know,

Sidey: I thought you were going to

Reegs: you were gonna get a really small one.

Yeah.

Cris: That's not that small.

Sidey: Small next to a There's a

lot of pressure on me

Reegs: There's a lot of pressure on me about dogs and cats and more fish and, yeah.

Dan: get a

get a goat.

Cris: Even, even, even I can look after a

Reegs: I like a cat, I A

Sidey: Beehive. I think there's more chance of getting a beehive than getting

Reegs: More fish would probably be, we've got three little babies, you've seen

Sidey: them? Yeah, that's right.

Reegs: aren't they, the littlies?

Dan: Put down bird feeders.

Reegs: We've got that. There's magpies coming now though, and they're a bit of a pain in the ass. There was a crane there the other day, that was fucking magnificent,

Sidey: say.

Nice. Did you,

Reegs: I didn't get him squawking, so I couldn't get him on Merlin, but I've got a picture of him.

Dan: Yeah. Is

Sidey: can put the picture on Merlin to upload,

Dan: building work, is there, around your place? Yeah. Yeah, alright.

Sidey: isn't anything else apart from Birds this week?

Reegs: So have you seen anything else apart from birds this week?

Sidey: I have continued to watch The Wire. I started to watch Season 1. Season 1, nearly done. You've done a

Cris: not watch that already?

Yeah.

Sidey: Kay's not seen the whole thing through, so we've started again.

There are

five series, so you're out. Yeah, you're out, but there are only 10 episodes a series.

Cris: are only 10 episodes a

Sidey: Okay, and I have started Manchester by the Sea, which I was enjoying up until the point I had to turn off. Yeah. I think that was it. I feel like there's some other stuff, but I can't remember. That'll do it.

Dan: Are you still tired of jerking off alone?

Sidey: I've got

Reegs: Well, your needs

Dan: Yeah. Well, I guess I guess so. I've watched a load of the new newish Sherlock's

Sidey: Okay, yeah,

The Rickenback

It was good, Yeah, just did the

Dan: just did the Rickenback one. And yeah, they're really good. Think it's on

Cris: or on Oh, they, okay. I need to get into

Dan: to get into that. And always kind of leaves you on a cliffhanger or the end of season one did.

So cause I'm watching them with Nelly. So we

Sidey: just Is season one, is that when it goes off?

Dan: Yeah, season one is where the Rickenback falls. The, the third, the last episode of that. Cause there's short seasons, Chris. It's only three episodes a season. So.

Cris: All right. Okay. I, I, I can get behind that.

Sidey: And then, and then

Dan: found

Sidey: there's the Christmas special one where they go back in time,

Dan: So I've not seen that one. I'm looking forward to,

Sidey: there's a couple of duds in there in, I think. And when they try and introduce the villain who's like

Once

you've had Moriarty everyone else

is

Dan: Moriarty, everyone

Sidey: another guy that they bring in who's supposed to be like this mastermind and fucking blackmail

Dan: not the guy bring

Sidey: I can't

think of

Dan: supposed to be like this masterminded

Cris: Yeah, well done.

Sidey: What about you

watch

Reegs: Dan.

Cris: it's you know, how to put it out

Dan: Andrew scott The

Sidey: The thicket

Reegs: I like it.

Cris: I couldn't tell you who else was in it because it was

Sidey: Juliet Lewis.

Reegs: so Well, I couldn't tell you,

Cris: Well, I couldn't tell you because it was

Reegs: one of

Cris: it was on one of the channels. I I couldn't tell you who made it or what, what the, I,

Sidey: it was brilliant. brilliant.

Cris: Oh, well, I

remember watching it, but that's pretty much it. And there's. Someone, you know, I'm trying to remember who the other like someone that's fairly famous in it, but

Sidey: The Thicket?

Cris: Yeah, it's called the thicket. He's got juliet lewis

Reegs: out, hasn't it?

Cris: Yeah, very very recently and I thought okay western. I I love a western and I thought okay, this is

Dan: John Wayne? Was he in it?

Cris: No she goes by the name

Sidey: Peter Dinklage.

Cris: Yes, yeah, the, yes, him.

He, he's actually good. He's probably the only reason why you should watch this because he's good.

But he dies at the end, so

Dan: Slight spoiler

Sidey: Levon Hawke. Is that a Nepo baby? Levon Hawke. H A W K E. Has a whiff of

Dan: Tony

Cris: Is that a, is that a name or a movie?

Sidey: one of the Actors in it.

Cris: I don't know what he's talking about. Sorry. Yeah, it's yeah, I know who you mean, but I'm not gonna be racist here

Sidey: James Hetfield's in it. Is he? Yeah.

Cris: Which one is that

Sidey: He's the dude from Metallica.

Cris: Oh, is he? He

Reegs: He will be an old man with long hair, I would think. Oh, has he got long hair? I don't know, is he?

Cris: Ah, yes! He's one of the, he's deputy sheriff. Anyway, it's, it's alright, but it's not

great.

Sidey: I like a western. I might check it out.

Cris: It's not as good as I would have hoped. You know when you see, cause I've seen, yeah, the, the Inklidge, and I've seen Juliette Lewis, I thought, alright, well this, You know, it

Sidey: got potential, but

then

Cris: but then,

So that, I've seen

Sidey: have been

Reegs: you, Vin? Oh, no. No, I fucking hate that guy.

I

Dan: which Oh, no, no. I fucking hate that

guy.

Sidey: I will not watch

Reegs: he

Dan: I'm out. And for that reason, I'm

Reegs: It's a

Cris: it cartoons?

Sidey: No, it's squid game done by that fucking jimmy donaldson from

Reegs: from

Sidey: mr. B's. I will not

Cris: Oh, right. The YouTube

Reegs: Yeah,

Dan: like him. He repulses me.

Sidey: same he just makes me

Cris: I've never seen anything to do with him in my life. I'll never watch anything to do

Reegs: him.

Alright, so it's just gonna be me reviewing Beast

Cris: Well, no, because he's, because he's the most, sorry, I shouldn't shout. I don't know why I'm so angry.

Reegs: No, you're all angry. It's very

Cris: he's the most watched YouTube person in the world, without ever watching anything remotely close to him, I already hate him.

Reegs: Yeah, but his show is, is, is pretty good. I have to say you could just be like, oh, it's just a squid gamesy thing, but the games are very cleverly designed. It's great. Like all of us as a family can, so it's a good one to watch with Nelly. Now,

Sidey: it's

Reegs: We all

Cris: you rather watch Gilmore Girls?

Oh, really?

Dan: that's that's and I know Gilmore girls is crap

Cris: Okay, well, there you have it,

Dan: Although actually when now that rory is kind of dumped jesse and she's with dean And then she went back to I I don't know where it is.

So,

Reegs: And the episodes are a mere 45 50 minutes. So,

Dan: same as gilmore girls,

Reegs: for that

Dan: Yeah, no, there's just something about him that really makes me angry before I

Reegs: a strange looking fella, but it's mostly he kind of looks a bit sort of dead behind the eyes.

Sidey: it's

Dan: It's like ryan's world

Sidey: me why he's so popular.

Grown

Dan: up and yeah for me as well. It's the same. I have just

Sidey: no This

Dan: what he's

Reegs: and they spent a fucking fortune on it, and

Sidey: he has a fortune.

Reegs: Yeah, but it's a good program.

So there you go. I'm going to bat

Sidey: going to bat for that. Fair enough.

Right, shall we crack on with the top five

Reegs: What about, did we have any, what was last week's top

Sidey: five?

Can't right. Vice's. Vice

Cris: I

Reegs: think we

had

anything,

Sidey: think we have anything, we? Have we

Dan: before? I don't

Reegs: let's

Dan: What, best man

Cris: speeches or just speeches in general?

Dan: I'm

Reegs: I haven't got any best man speeches, actually.

That's

Sidey: No, when you say that there's a best man speech scene in

Sherlock.

Dan: Sherlock.

Sidey: gets married.

Dan: haven't got that far yet. But we have just met his his wife as Sherlock gives himself back into gets himself back into character. Noticed by Watson again

Sidey: I think they were married in real life, weren't they, Martin Freeman and her?

Cris: What, to Morgan Freeman?

Reegs: Martin Freeman was married to Morgan Freeman.

Dan: that

would make sense

Reegs: Yeah, it would,

Sidey: yeah, Martin Freeman and that lady,

Dan: And the blonde lady, yeah the i'm gonna start off with a strong speech, Because we're it's team america speech. Yeah. It's when Dick's fuck

assholes. Dick. Pussies and assholes. Yeah. Kim, John is a, is an asshole, but nobody likes dick's, but Dick's fuck pussies and, and, you know, but they also fuck assholes.

And sometimes you need, you need a dick to fuck her. An asshole. But you know, you don't want them to be too much of too many dicks is just too much.

Reegs: you get your dick and pussy all covered in shit. Is the problem, Dan.

Dan: And it was such a, an emotional speech. It was, it was really heartfelt and on many ways it, it seemed to be the meaning of life.

Matt

Sidey: Do you know the celeb who gave the most amount of pushback on that film?

Reegs: that film. It's a

Sidey: I actually was, I was actually watching a thing. Yeah, we know yesterday of them Matt Stone and Trey Parker, I got that the right way around talking about all the celeb shit they've had over the years for the stuff they've done and getting away from speeches, but the episode of South Park where they wanted to have, you know, Tom Cruise is the like flamboyant homosexual and the lawyers are like, no, you can't do that.

Like what if we just make him like really kind of, no, you can't do that. What if we just have him like literally in a show stuck in a closet like, yeah, you can do that. So

just in the episode, he's just hiding in the closet like, Tom Cruise, you have to get out of the closet.

And

then they went on to talk about Dear America and they're saying that Sean Penn's like really fucking outraged about his portrayal without seeing

Dan: really fucking outraged at that Portrayal Without saying it No, no, no.

Okay.

Sidey: he mentioned it. A couple of pods back.

Reegs: Yeah. And snitches get stitches,

Sidey: he? Yeah,

Dan: Right.

Cris: I try to bring it up all the time, whenever, because I don't remember his acting career that much recently.

So, that's 20 years.

Who

Reegs: being a

Cris: he

Dan: Who did he, who did he snitch on?

Cris: Chapo Guzman.

Sidey: Okay.

Dan: Ah, El Chapo. Yeah. Right.

That'll do you.

Sidey: Strong speech though.

Dan: Strong speech. Anybody can beat that speech or is that it? We're just done.

Cris: no one can beat that. I've got a best man speech, if anyone cares, about the Hangover 2.

Sidey: Oh yeah, Fireland.

Cris: when the guy's like I don't know if anyone knows, but this is Stuart, this is not Stuart's first wedding.

There was a stripper in Vegas and they just kind of, all of them just shut up, shut up.

Dan: A ball.

Cris: yeah.

He's like, Oh, I've got a speech. And they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just cut it. Leave it. So that it's the beginning of a speech, but it's a very good beginning of a speech. I would say.

Dan: Any other best man ones? There's the, the floppy head.

Hugh Grant does one on four weddings in a funeral, doesn't he? It's quite funny. And he's saying, oh, and all, all of his last girlfriends obviously such, such dogs of some of whom I see here today. Very nice. And it, it is not a, a, a bad one. But it didn't make

Sidey: Stephen Merchant does, does a good one.

I can't

remember the film, but it's like really cringe goes down like a lead balloon.

Meag, who used to be on the pod, his best man first wedding, his best man did a speech and his mum cried and they had to like stop him and they're like, it was really bad. I don't think it was that bad, but his mum, like, Just didn't,

Dan: Not out of happiness? No. No, okay, wow. I've been to a wedding where the best man crumbled under the pressure of the best

Reegs: and couldn't do it

Dan: and couldn't finish, and then and people were, were, were shouting out like, just do it from the heart, you know, sort of.

It was really bad and then they, he, he, Disappeared from the wedding and we didn't see them again.

Sidey: Really?

Reegs: I went to a wedding where the best man did have a speech, but got drunk and did it from the heart, wong it, did like a bit of a show of, and it was really fucking good.

Sidey: Oh, what a prick.

Reegs: I know. Yeah. You sort of hate him afterwards, but it was really good. Yeah.

Dan: Excellent. That's a happy story. Give us an unhappy one, Riggs.

Reegs: well, jaws.

Dan: oh yeah.

Reegs: I think it's one of the classic movie speeches, isn't it?

Dan: Cold. I wanna go

Reegs: They're comparing scars below decks and then the story takes a sort of sinister turn, and I think, what's the fella's name? No, well, yes, but the other guy.

Cris: The shark

Reegs: Bruce.

No.

Dan: Robert Shaw is Craig,

isn't

Reegs: Shore Dreyfus. He clocks onto, he doesn't clock onto what the story's about at first, does he?

As he mentions

Dan: the USS Indianapolis. yeah.

Reegs: And he didn't know that that the story that he's about to tell, but the other guy does, and it ends, obviously, and it was infamously the, the ship that delivered the bomb for Hiroshima. And they

Dan: 1200 men in the water

20,

Sidey: Trump there.

Dan: 26.

Reegs: I don't know.

It's more the

Sidey: Yeah, well

Dan: yeah, well, I've got it all,

Reegs: new combine harvester,

Dan: You've got a brand new combat

Reegs: but it's a classic one,

Dan: it? It is, yeah, yeah. It's good speech. Have you got another one to add before I add in mine?

No, al pacino. He's done a couple scent of a woman And yeah, so I had them both because Yeah It's the the one where young is it chris

Sidey: He's Batman,

Dan: He's batman wasn't he?

he?

was robbing.

Sidey: Robin. Yeah,

Dan: look at this. This is what you get when you've got loads of old men doing a podcast

Cris: Chris O'Donnell?

Yes,

Dan: my Chris O'Donnell.

And he's talking about integrity and you know, how you can you setting up these guys to fail to rat on his, his, That's what you want. That's what you want in these men. And it's a, it's a fantastic speech, which he delivers in front of the whole class as they're about to ban and expel him from school.

And he's saying he's because he's not ratting on his friends. You're going to expel him. These are the kind of men that, you know, you want men with integrity, with honor, they're going to look after their friends no matter what.

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: it was a, it was a really good one. Also, any given Sunday, of course, where,

you

Sidey: yeah, that's going to battle.

Dan: yeah, if you just want to

Sidey: so I watched that in a cinema in America.

And it's a black quarterback, Jamie Foxx, isn't it? Yes. And a lot of it's about getting paid and getting your money and do this in the black quarterback, breaking through and, you know, and people in the, in the audience, yeah, like really getting involved and giving it loads.

You just don't get that in a cinema over here. You just don't get that

at

Dan: Bit of cock action in that in a few scenes there as well

Cris: Yeah, when Cameron Diaz walks in as, as the owner of the team and there's every, oh,

Reegs: oh, yeah

Cris: pieces out, just like these guys, just like

Sidey: Is she got a movie coming out on Netflix? Because she'd retired, didn't she?

I think she's got a film coming out.

Dan: Well, Demi Moore has made a bit of a comeback recently, hasn't she? She's got a golden globe. Yeah,

Cris: Yeah, not sure

why, but

Reegs: Gaia was brilliant. That's why

it was

Dan: Got any more? Go on then.

Sidey: Quite often get a sort of rousing speech for a battle. Yeah. There's quite a few in Game of Thrones, but I was also thinking about,

Reegs: If

you're not talking about Lord of the Rings, then

Sidey: I was going to go Gladiator. I think he actually says this is not one of the Because he does one at the very start, the big battle sequence on the battlefield. But he says the one to

I

can't remember the Emperor's name. That's it. Is it? Yeah. He says that I will have my revenge in this life or the next. That one, that was what I was thinking of.

It's good. And he's got an MF Doom mask, which seems really out of

Reegs: Yeah What an anachronism yeah well, I guess you've braveheart battley just before they're about to fight the british at sterling bridge

That's right.

Yeah, so the scottish independence led by an australian

Sidey: Scotland have never missed a penalty in a shootout.

Reegs: they've never had one

Dan: never Got that far?

Sidey: they've just never missed one.

Reegs: okay,

Cris: And they should just play

for

Dan: and they should just play for pens the whole time Then

Reegs: yeah a couple here. Ferris Buhler Life moves pretty fast. Samuel L. Jackson and Pulp Fictions. Say what again? Motherfucker.

Yeah.

And v's. Opening monologue to Evie in V for Vendetta. The James McTigue Wachowski movie with its 50 vs in a row.

Cris: I, I Honestly, I

I try to understand what he's actually saying

Reegs: Sorry, are you talking to me? I

guess

Dan: Sorry, are you talking to me?

I guess anybody else here must be talking to me. You got De Niro as well, taxi driver the great dictator Charlie Chaplin. Yeah.

Cris: Could he

Dan: Yeah, so you don't often get to hear him talk But then he goes all serious and gives a a nice long monologue of a of a speech one that I listened to today and I think we've never done for the pod and I think we're gonna have to on the waterfront Marlon Brando, And

Sidey: ever done a brando

Dan: he's well

Reegs: yeah the school

did

Dan: the score with Ed Norton.

But could have been a contender. He's talking about, I could have been someone it's the line after that, as much as anything else that he just delivers with, he's talking about, you know, the opportunities that anybody that's lost an opportunity, any B that's, that's just not there. Had that taken away from him and he was, he talks about in the film and he's saying, yeah, the guy next to him, the gangster next to him, he's saying Oh, you know, you, you didn't have your luck, you know, he's blaming.

We put you in with some bad trainers and he goes, No, it was you. Remember you came into my changing room and you told me tonight's not your night. You got to take a dive. And he goes, Yeah, you made some money off that. And he goes, Yeah, but I

Cris: I've got one from boxing related from Pulp Fiction.

When Marcel Wallace tells Butch about pride. fuck pride, you're going

Sidey: Pride. Month.

Cris: Yeah,

that, yeah. Can't wait for Gay Pride. It's not this month though, so unrelated topic. But, well, there is a bit of gay action in that movie

Sidey: Yes, there is, yeah.

Cris: I didn't want to get into that, but I did like the Marcellus Wallace's speech where he just kind of has the taped, I don't know what we call it, the plaster on his back, and completely not necessarily related, but related to Braveheart, a pre battle or not necessarily pre battle, but it's speech in 300 when at the end he just says, this is Sparta.

Whereas Jerry Butler just kind of gets the messenger from Xerxes and he's like, you bring the crowns of dead kings to my city steps, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is Sparta. He punts

Reegs: it punts him into the world,

Sidey: So fit, isn't

Reegs: he? Yeah,

Cris: a

Sidey: Another buff guy I don't want to disappoint you, Lord of the Rings there's, there's quite a few, but I'm going to go for the Return of the King. No, it's Aragorn, so fit, and I thought Gandalf was fit, but It's, it looks like it's going to be their last hurrah, and he's got to rouse the troops and he basically tells them that they're all going to die.

Death comes to us all, I think he says, and basically that the civilization will hopefully prevail and we'll all be remembered, but we're not going to fucking quit, you know, we're going for it. And I think he probably thinks that Frodo hasn't been able to destroy the ring either at that point, so it's like certain doom, but let's at least give a rousing speech before we go and snuff it.

It's good.

Dan: Yeah, well, that leads well into Carpe Diem, Dead Poets Society, when Bobby Williams is talking to his class there of young students who are reading poetry, but not poetry.

really feeling the poetry, not really getting to the, the heart of it. And he says, you know, we're all going to be food for worms, lads, you know, we're all gonna look at these photos and he gets them to look at the photograph of lads, not unlike themselves from a hundred years before you, whatever. And he goes, look, they're all Gone now, you know, but you've gotta seize the day.

You whatever, whatever it takes, you know, now is your time. Go and do it. And it is, it is hair on the back of your, your neck standing up time.

Reegs: There's a trope I really like, and I found out today it's got a name called the Sedgwick Speech Trope, allegedly named after Union Army General John Sedgwick who said

Dan: allegedly,

Reegs: they couldn't hit an elephant at this distance, his last words before being shot in the

Sidey: head And it's

Reegs: And it's the trope I think is best probably summed up by the movie Deep Blue Sea. Where a guy is in the middle of a big, rousing speech, Samuel L. Jackson, and he's taken out in the middle of it, and so, that one there, and there's some other good examples of that Cabin in the Woods the Chris Hemsworth character gives a big, rousing speech, jumps on his motorcycle and drives straight into a wall, an invisible wall, and then Mars Attacks with Jack Nicholson makes this big, Impassioned, moving speech.

Why can't we all just get along? One of the aliens even cries before they set some horrible slug thing on him and it kills him. So yeah, any speech that's ended like that with sudden and violent death is going to get my attention.

Sidey: attention.

Dan: Well lastly maybe not bestly but this, I love the smell of napalm in the morning. I just watched this scene again today as the apocalypse now is and he's saying it's safe to surf this beach.

If I say it's fucking safe to surf this beach and they're just being hammered. It's like fucking gunshots and everything. So he just gets on the blow and he says, I want to

Reegs: literally going into the sea.

Yeah. Because they're landing with

Dan: And he's saying no, I want you to surf it like if I say it's safe and he goes I just want you to napalm the tree line here and he goes.

Okay, right We're just gonna and they go down and just he says I want it to bomb it into the stone Like, you know, and and that's exactly what they do so you can catch some waves Wow

Sidey: Noms.

Reegs: Just, can I just do a couple more Independence day?

Sidey: Oh, yeah.

Reegs: it made

Sidey: Bill Pullman?

Reegs: to be American. Yeah, there's a

Dan: it did.

Reegs: speech and taken a particular set of skills. 'cause it was just MeMed into oblivion, wasn't

Sidey: That was going to be possibly my norm. No, it was a fallback norm in case you took my other norm, which I think you might take.

Reegs: No, no, I don't think anybody's, I've got one that I don't think anybody's gonna go for.

Dan: nom and i'm gonna go first. And it's marlon brando on the waterfront I could have been a contender. been someone.

Cris: I've got two. The first one is Forrest Gump. When Tom Hanks says sometimes when people go to Vietnam, they go home to their mamas without any legs. Sometimes they don't go home at all, which as much as you hate this movie, you can't of not agree with this. But my nomination is not necessarily from a movie, but it's movie related.

The speech the last one I've seen from Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes when he kind of just puked.

Sidey: oh he's opening monologue

Cris: pokes at everyone and take your drugs and fucking go home . And that. I kind of like that because

Sidey: yeah, he gives him a hard

time.

Cris: just kind of goes and, and he goes as Scorsese, he goes at like pretty much everyone, Leo mate pushing

Dan: Thank

your agent. Yeah. Thank you god and

Cris: fuck off. So I kind of like that. And that would be my norm.

Sidey: Okay.

I'm going to go for the big Lebowski. It's after Donny has died and they've been to the funeral home and they've got his ashes in a, I think it's a coffee thing.

And then John Goodman Walter Soapshake stands on this sort of cliff face thing and does a speech. And he's pointing at Pismo and he's pointing at all the beaches talking about him. And then he goes to scatter the ashes and it all just fucking blows in their face. Fucking

Dan: to bring it back into Narm again, isn't he?

Sidey: Yeah, he turns it right off.

See the dude, just look at him. So disappointed. He was like, fuck sake. He fucked it.

It's great. Beautiful. Yeah.

God. Then I'm intrigued.

Reegs: Well, honorary mention for Blade Runner, but The Lighthouse.

Do you remember that one? With Defoe as

Sidey: the Jermaine.

Reegs: sort of grizzled, Jermaine Defoe, yeah, as the grizzled lighthouse keeper. Thomas Wake and Pattinson as the guy. And they, they sort of spend a load of time getting drunk and stuff, don't they? And there's one sort of scene at the center of the movie is where he's tried to cook lobster.

Do you remember?

He's like, fed up of lobster and all that, and they've been drinking heavily, and you know at any moment it could turn violent. And it does. It starts off with them like, laughing and shouting, what? And then quickly, like, he's just standing up, delivering this like, furious monologue. Like, just looking right at him, it was really intense.

Cris: Is that the one that's filmed similar to, in the similar light debate?

And it's like, they find some body or something or a, or a

Reegs: the mermaid.

Sidey: they have sex

Dan: a lot of flashbacks and shit, yeah. No,

Cris: is

Reegs: Yeah. Yeah.

Cris: No,

Sidey: black and white

Cris: Yeah, but they don't find a mermaid.

Sidey: they do yeah

Cris: that what it is? I can't remember what it was. It

Sidey: It was the seagull, they murder a seagull.

Reegs: Yeah,

Really viciously. It's one of those I

Cris: I did. I did watch it, but I can't really remember what the

Yeah. It's I really. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. But that's the one. No, I've watched that. yeah,

Reegs: so that

Cris: quite creepy, but good. Yeah. I don't remember the speech

Sidey: Well, we've got those, and we need one more.

Cris: and we

Dan: add to it

Sidey: Hit us up with another speech. Yes.

Dan: Speak to us. '

Rebel Rib.

Cris: Yeah.

Reegs: Rebel Ridge. Yeah.

Dan: Okay.

Well,

I chose this.

Sidey: Yeah, I'd seen some hype about it.

Reegs: And

we have already reviewed a movie from this guy on the pod, Jeremy Sonier.

We did hold the Dark, if you remember that. Crazy Netflix one about Skarsgård was a sort of wolf

Sidey: of wolf of Cessna. Right,

Dan: Right, okay. Well I didn't

Sidey: was this. No,

Dan: No, distinct lack of that. But how this opens up. Yes, you

Cris: Yes. You would've loved

this.

Dan: Strong opening.

Reegs: opening.

Dan: Yeah, he's, you've got

Reegs: the number of the beast Iron Maiden.

Dan: Yeah, and our hero, our protagonist is cycling into a town. He's quite a little bit off state lines at the moment or in between

Sidey: You can tell he's not a real cyclist because he's not wearing lycra.

He's not wearing cleats.

Dan: But he's got a really cool

Sidey: No helmet.

Reegs: He's got the most astonishing eyes, I

think, this

Cris: think.

Dan: And There's a cop car that comes up behind him he's got his music playing quite loud and

Sidey: his Don't like that when you're

Dan: again, quite, you know, irresponsible cycling and the, the police just trying to mind their own business and he must slow down or fuck up

Sidey: They do

Reegs: they nudge him over.

Dan: they do

nudge him

Sidey: I don't know whether they put a siren on,

Dan: in front of him, I don't know whether they put the siren on

Sidey: it's a

Reegs: do because it's a, a key plot point for later, isn't it?

But they, they,

Sidey: do. It triggers the dash cam.

Reegs: Yeah, the dash cam. So they do have the blues and twos on behind him. That's what you can see him, but you can only hear Ryan Maiden. And then he is pulled over and he's, he does eat shit and the police pull him up. And it's an interesting sort of power dynamic because he's kind of.

Quiet, but obviously knows his rights, but it's willing to cooperate and knows how dangerous it is to

Sidey: be Yeah, this is post like floyd and all that

Reegs: George Floyd. So,

Dan: and he's, a unit you can see that he's he's

Sidey: jacked

Dan: built like pete, you know, I mean he's someone who clearly looks after himself.

He's in the gym a lot. He's

Sidey: there this morning, yeah

Reegs: They sit him in the car pretty quickly, don't they? And they, because they want to go through his bag and there's a bag in there which he says they may not search. And they say, right, well, we're going to have to get a dog team down here. You're going to be an hour. He's like, look, if I tell you what's in there, will you let me go?

He,

oh, if I tell you you can search it, will you let me go?

Sidey: I was thinking because when they, when they do then go out, I think, well, there's nowhere fucking let you go. Wants to see all that

Reegs: Yeah. And

Dan: that cash. It

Reegs: $26,000

Dan: doesn't

Reegs: who, it doesn't look good though, right?

Because he, obviously, the movie gives you a certain perspective when it opens, but then suddenly you find out there's a load of cash in there and you are a bit like. Oh, right, okay. You know,

Sidey: people don't generally cycle around with $26,000 on them in cash.

Reegs: Yeah. So they tell him straight away, they're gonna seize it.

They can do this. It's like highway civil. Yeah. Civil asset forfeiture. And they confiscate the money. And even

Sidey: he, he explains to them, I'm.

I'm going to the courthouse now to bail out my brother and then the rest of the money we're buying a van or something and just or a boat And and just do it, you know, that's gonna be us. That's

Reegs: your brother?

What's your cousin in for? Drugs charges.

Sidey: A great look

Reegs: not, doesn't look good. So they,

Sidey: And so he's he's on the clock because he's gonna be I think moved out There and they say, listen, we're keeping this.

If you wanna contest it, that's gonna take a month or so. It's like, no, no, no, I need to go there now.

Dan: He's left all this lastminute. com, hasn't he? I mean, if you look, look at it that way, he could have set off the day

Sidey: you're on the side of

Dan: he, he could, he could have you know, just wire transferred that money would have been much safer. But no, I'm, I'm definitely not on the cop side because they were being absolute assholes.

Sidey: He's just having to take it, like you say, re because he knows exactly how this could go if it, if he doesn't sort of absolutely comply.

Reegs: Yeah. So basically he's given his pink slip of paper and is busted by and sent off. So he goes off into town to the courthouse 'cause he thinks he can sort this out with the court, with the bail.

Clerks there and he talks to Elliot a guy who'll come up later But he doesn't want to really hear his story is not

Sidey: What does it say? Bail or wedding? Yeah. Every time someone goes to death, is it bail or, bail or wedding?

Reegs: When he starts explaining because he's been a bit banged up he's got blood on his arm from his bike crash You know, he thinks he's there for something else when then he tells him there's no public defenders So but anyway a clerk there some are sort of over here's What's going on and kind of takes pity on him and get they go out for lunch.

And this is where

Dan: she kind of explains his rights of which he has very few. She says there is a law, they can do this. And it's not the first time that she's heard of shit going down bad in that town.

Reegs: Yeah. So after this we get the really incredibly ballsy move of him rocking up to the police station to report a robbery.

When he describes the suspects in quite good detail to Officer Sims, the black officer who's there. It, you know, she suddenly realizes he's describing the police. He's going to report

Sidey: says the name. He says the name, doesn't he? He says, oh, he was you know, 200 pounds or whatever He's got, you know, really good details.

And then she goes, oh, wow, you really He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember them very well. His name was Officer. And she just goes, oh, oh, fuck. And then he walks, the guy walks up and walks in. That's awkward.

Reegs: Yeah, and then pretty soon the police chief comes out, which is Don Johnson. Yeah, and you were saying off air before, Chris, that you remember some good villainous roles

Cris: last two, the last two roles I've seen is just like a old racist man. The last ones I remember the Django when I can't remember his name in Django, but he's very racist and he owns

Sidey: He's in the clan, yeah.

Cris: And oh yeah, he's in the clan. Yeah. Him and

Sidey: He walks up

Cris: here where he's.

Reegs: He is at least smart enough to realize that Terry has been covertly recording as soon as he got into the police station, all of the conversations. So he does kind of a little bit of legalese and says the right things. But when the tape goes off, there is a bit of talk that there'd already been a thing about asset forfeiture and a new margarita machine and all this sort of stuff that's been hinted at.

And so Terry offers him. Basically, a bribe, pretty much, he says, doesn't he? I only need 10, 000 for the bail. You keep the rest of it. And I'll be out of here. I'll bail my cousin out and I'll be gone. That's it. You'll never hear from me

Sidey: again. Yeah,

Reegs: And it seems to be a done deal. He's going to meet him at 9am the next morning.

Sidey: He says yeah, if you come, come at nine o'clock before he gets transferred this will all be sorted.

Reegs: Yeah. So he goes he actually goes off into the woods to catch a fish with his bare hands and then cook it by the fire

Sidey: fire. He goes full Bear Grylls, doesn't he?

Dan: Yeah. And by the time he gets back there in the morning, the bus has gone early with his cousin on just by a minute or two. And there's zero sympathy from the cops.

He cycles along.

He

Cris: very quick on the bike

Reegs: What about this bit where he's chasing the

Sidey: it's remind me the goodies

Reegs: This was amazing. He's chasing his

Dan: he he manages to catch up and give a fist pump out to his cousin and just says look hang in there Take care of yourself

you're going into a prison where They're gonna suspect you're being a grass or something.

So or They're not

Sidey: it's rough. It's, it's

Dan: one, one reason or another. So look after yourself. Look, I'm gonna, I'm gonna sort you out.

Reegs: He's, he was gonna get, the money that Terry did have came from his share in a Chinese restaurant business, and now the cops have kind of gone after that because he's name dropped it.

So Mr Liu, who was gonna lend him some money to help get him through all this as well, is out of the picture. So, with that happening, Terry is kind of forced into another confrontation down at the

Sidey: They they look him up on their system And there's some acronym and they don't know what

Reegs: MCM map,

Sidey: they don't know what it stands for while they're looking up and they're sort of all

Reegs: she has to repl unplug the router and stuff. And he's just stood outside like really imposing

Sidey: or something and she's like fuck he's here and then she they've realized what it is and He, because he's a Marine,

Reegs: he, he's the Marine

Sidey: but he hadn't,

Reegs: instructor.

Sidey: he hadn't served overseas?

Because they could give him some shit about that, but then they realize,

Reegs: they think, they think, oh he's never served overseas, he hasn't killed anybody, this guy's a pushover, he's not seen Active

Sidey: Yeah, and then they realize, oh, he's

Reegs: He's the guy who trains

Dan: Trains the guys.

Yeah.

Sidey: He's going to be pretty tidy.

Reegs: And we see that in an amazing moment where Don tries to pull a gun on him and he just stops it in his hand. He says, let's not do that.

And then just takes the clip out and dismantles the gun in his hands in about a second and a half then he pulls the guy into like a lock because another policeman at this point has got his drawn his gun on him so he's using don as a human shield which he uses to get closer and closer and closer until he incapacitates the next guy with a kind of submission hold and it's like it's that john wick style action but it's not killing everybody it's

Sidey: He's got absolutely no intention of he wants to do the minimum amount of harm he can because He doesn't

Dan: he doesn't wanna

Reegs: overpower de escalate.

That's, that's his sort of, that's his, his sort of modus

Sidey: of modus operandi. Yeah, well, and it

Reegs: well, and it gets worse, right? Because he forces them both inside. Then he forces his way into the

Sidey: hostage

Reegs: room, which he'd already clocked earlier. And when he goes in there, he sees lots of things that he shouldn't see. He's only there to get his In fact, he only wants 10, 000, right?

He gets his

Sidey: his A deal's a

Reegs: deal's a deal, he says to the guy.

Sidey: But there is like a fucking militia It's like that room in the matrix with a million guns And loads of cash and he's like this doesn't feel right for a small town fucking cop shop

Dan: Yeah. And everybody's in on it. All the cops kind of know about it and there's a few real bad apples in, in that crew as well. And so they ain't gonna forget it.

As he comes out and there's a bunch of.

Not police, but

Cris: Highway patrol or

Dan: highway

Sidey: I thought they were having a cookout or something, in

Dan: vigilantes.

Sidey: grounds. They

Cris: Ah, right, yeah, but everyone has a gun in America,

Reegs: a fast one, doesn't it? He gets It sends

Sidey: truck that's left It pulls a fast one where it doesn't he gets, is it sims, officer sims to handcuff him and and look as if they're taking it and she she said no everything's fine we've got him under control we're going to get him out of here now and they drive off and then they pick him up Is it the next day?

And say, right, the chiefs come in. My one piece of advice is you fucking hear him out. And they drive him out to this fucking nondescript building as a chopper coming in. He says, right, that's your brother coming in.

Reegs: At first you think he's gonna be executed, don't you?

Sidey: Yeah, well, he's he's like, that's your brother. Here's your money. Fucking get out of town.

That's your one shot. That's your chance. Take your money. Fucking go. Don't be

Dan: And he realises

Sidey: in fucking bad shape. Sorry cousin. He's

Reegs: been stabbed, yeah,

Sidey: been stabbed up real nice and As it turns out he doesn't

Dan: he's kind of holding it together in a bad way.

He's trying not to lose his, he's trying not to lose his temper. And then when it's confirmed that his cousin is dead you kind of get the sense that this might go out all out revenge. And it doesn't

Reegs: people need to get drawn. Yeah, it goes kind of small town legal thriller for a bit. Summer gets kind of dragged into it. This is the part we can kind of rifle through.

I think Summer gets dragged into it. She was a former drug addict

Sidey: She, no. You're always an addict. Read, Yes. She is an addict

Reegs: And she gets set up by the corrupt

Sidey: She's told him a few times, I cannot lose this job. I'm trying to like, hold it all together so that I can get some custody back.

Reegs: And she's got this, it turns out that she's the more dangerous one. She's got an informant Serpico who we don't know inside the inside the police station. And it's that digging around that's got her into trouble. So she fails this like drug test at work and

Dan: she works for in the courthouse also, yeah, also from, you know, Babe fame is also on the take or in the know

Sidey: that they've broken into her house and drugged her?

Reegs: Yeah,

Dan: Well,

Cris: what I was going to say. It's not like she's an addict. It's more like

Sidey: the

Reegs: a No, she was.

Dan: she was

Cris: was, but then now it's just

Reegs: And they've set her up.

Sidey: looked, they've looked on her records, records know how to get her, how to get rid of her. So, so you just see a needle get thrown into the sink and you're like, oh fuck. She's been drugged.

She's got the wherewithal to phone.

Terry?

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: Who doesn't give his out

Sidey: And

That's,

when he comes back to town. They're like, you were told not to fucking come

Reegs: I know, as far as he's, he's always been trying to get out, right? Every port, he didn't want to get sucked into this.

He wanted to get out, but then Summer's called him back and then leaving Summer's place. He's again, accosted by another officer. This is when he notices that the officer doesn't put his lights on. He says, your lights don't work, do they, officer? Because he flags him down with his hand. And he is then set up in this scene.

I think the guy tosses a gun into the back of the car and then shoots him, doesn't

Sidey: he?

He shoots him in the

Reegs: shoulder.

And he gets away and is then patched up by a Chinese medic. I think in the movie's best joke where this sort of old Chinese medic, he's like, oh, he's a medic. He served in Korea and

Sidey: He's like,

Reegs: for the Chinese.

Sidey: for

Dan: To the

other side.

Reegs: So basically they go to Elliot, the clerk guy who Cromwell. And it basically comes out that there's been a kind of scam related to a lawsuit that happened in the town. Many years before that they're still paying off and they've got this civil asset forfeiture process going on where they, they basically racially profile people on sort of quite misdemeanor type charges and get them in prison for 90 days.

And there isn't a public defender to To help them get their property back. So after, and the dash cam footage is integral to all of this.

Dan: And they get, yeah, they get a certain amount of money for keeping in prison that long and nothing ever goes quite, goes the distance

Sidey: it goes to the judge it gets thrown

Dan: It gets thrown out. But it

Reegs: is almost funded in this way through this process. And this is real. This is a real

Cris: it's mostly like the whole town really is the police and the

city hall and all that.

Reegs: that, so Yeah, they

Sidey: really. Okay.

Dan: yeah. they tried, they tried to justify their policing on a tight budget by doing this. This way by using this legal loophole but Terry's not having any of it

Sidey: it. He's got some proper motivation

Dan: He he's got some proper motivation.

He's also got a particular set of skills

Reegs: of skills. He break, they break, him and Summer break into the courthouse, I think it is.

Or to go

Cris: basement somewhere

Reegs: the

Dan: They want to get the evidence. They know in the cars that there is a certain amount of evidence that's locked away in these SD cards that could Get everybody off the hook and prove what they've been doing but the police also know this and trying to destroy the evidence and they they're starting a fire in the courthouse while they've broken in

Sidey: She had offered him some coconut water earlier in the film.

Yeah. She tries fire out with it.

Reegs: good. Yeah.

Dan: Yeah,

she does put the fire out with it. Which is where the coconut water comes back into. We live and learn, don't we? And they also manage to get these SD cards, which are kind of used as a bargaining chip in a, in a little while.

Reegs: a little while.

Sidey: She get the She's, so

when they drugged her, they also phoned the judge to say, you know, to grass her up for being on the gear. So he's like, well, look, I, I'm sure you haven't, but just we need a sample. So she knows that sample's about to go off. It's sitting in the fridge upstairs.

Reegs: He's topped himself at this point, by the way, as well. James Cromwell, he had, he ate some poison at the end of his scene.

Sidey: It was his wife's medicine,

Reegs: Oh, his medicine, wouldn't it? Yeah. Yeah. He topped

Sidey: So she goes, she goes to retrieve the piss before it can get sent off. Wouldn't you know it, she gets captured.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: Terry sees her getting bundled into the back of the wagon and taken off to god knows where.

Reegs: Yeah, so, they arrange a

Dan: Well, I know where. Rebel Ridge.

Reegs: Yeah, they arrange a swap at Rebel Ridge. Exactly. Well, except when we turn up in a long sequence where we see just like quite a lot of now, like an army almost of police.

They're very highly weaponized. He's actually at the small town police station. He's attached his truck to the outside of the wall and is wrenching the evidence room wall open. So he can go and finish off his

Dan: Yeah, he's His plan involves as you say, getting some of the evidence together Like

Reegs: and getting the police

Dan: chief. And getting the police chief In a big kind of crescendo of violence, they all come together again in the police house again, don't they?

Reegs: There's a few, there's a couple of bits that are worth just mentioning in this bit is just First is Officer Sims. He puts his faith in Officer Sims, who's also black, and she actually is sort at this point. Doesn't work in his favor. It's sort of that systemic failure of the, you know, the, of the

Dan: systemic failure of the, you know, of the system. Yeah, but what she

Reegs: Yeah, but what she knows by now, I mean, what she knows by

Dan: she knows by now I mean, who do you think

Reegs: But he thinks she's Serpico in his mind he he thinks that she is the police and actually that will turn out not to be the case so when it does escalate it turns out the master and the real piece of shit from the beginning is the police was working with summer right so that then

The police chief realizes this as well, shoots Marston in the leg and it does kick off a big action scene.

It's again one where it's trying to be efficient and sure. He floods the whole area with smoke grenades and then just kind of, I think he breaks one guy's arm really quickly and he punches some guy in the eye socket. But those are the like,

not

Dan: killing anyone.

He's just neutralizing them. And he manages to get into a police car and take your man who's been shot in a, in the leg.

Sidey: gets Erv go. Yeah.

Dan: he wants to get out. Into hospital he wants to to get him and they shoot the tires of the car he's driving So he's going about 30 miles an hour. And it's a it's it's like a an oj simpson

Sidey: Summer's been drugged again, hasn't she?

she's been given another big dose of heroin.

Dan: Yeah,

Reegs: Yep. She was just as part of the the exchange. So they're burning it off to hospital. And put the officer Sims is then ordered to pit maneuver the Vehicle that they're fleeing in and she in fact does it to the police chief

Sidey: Yeah, you're like, yeah, get in there,

Reegs: And the movie kind of ends with them sort of arriving at the hospital getting Marston and Summer in and getting medical attention. And then he runs back out to the car and

Dan: with an axe

Reegs: the the sort of

Sidey: car. Well, we didn't say the main thing. The thing is that when they put the lights on, the dash cam will instantly start

Reegs: Oh,

it records three minutes previously to the so it's always

Sidey: Yeah, it'll just save that. And he's got, he's got Don Johnson bang to rights. On the dash cam and that's why he gets the axe and he hacks out the The the actual hard drive bit and he just the film just ends with him sat there waiting for The police cops to arrive and you know, he's got it.

He's got him

Dan: it. Yeah, it's it's really kind of well paced and It doesn't fill in lots of the obvious blanks for you.

It allows you to put them together yourself. I really enjoyed this. I thought it was great. You know, it could have been silly in points. It could have used those set of skills and, and this guy's size and power and everything to, to more effect. But the fact that he is so measured in his Attacks and his his approach to the police.

He shows respect to all the ways is each time. As you say, he's trying to deescalate each and every time you can see he has intense military training because it must be so frustrating, particularly when his, his cousins died. He sees this, this gal summer, who's really put a neck out for him. Getting such a shit deal.

And all the time he's just. Remaining calm and making sure that he can get the best result out of the situation in pretty shit circumstances

I quite like that

Reegs: like that. Yeah, he's a very

Cris: Yeah, He's a very handsome man and like

buff as well. Just like yeah, good. He was good. He was good.

Reegs: he's great in it.

And,

I, I like the restraint and after seeing movies where, you know, that devolve into 20 or 30 minutes of gunshots and breaking limbs and headshots, it's refreshing to see fights that are over very quickly that have a kind of different realism to them. And great acronym. Content as well this week.

There was some good ones

Dan: M-M-C-A-A-P. Yeah. And, and Pace and everything. Yeah.

Reegs: And they really do profile black people on misdemeanors Confiscate their money and so, you know, this shit does actually happen and that's like, you know

Dan: yeah. Them talking, talking about it.

And the fact that he doesn't go around just killing lots of the cops, whether they be bad or good, they're wearing the. The uniform, they've got the badge you can't just go around

Cris: and also I, sorry, I really like the fact that he doesn't call anyone. You know, when I've seen, we've all seen these action movies where, oh, they've got an army. So therefore I'm going to call my buddies. I'm going to call the army corps. I'm going to call someone, you know, my uncle, my whatever.

No, he's just like, no, I'm

Reegs: I'm not doing that.

Yeah, no, it was good, I enjoyed it. It

could

Dan: Yeah it was

Cris: events of it. He's constantly, he's

Dan: thought there might be a little more but

Cris: to get out of town. Crescendo and then the end of the big gunfight or the big fight at the end is always a bit like

Reegs: Yeah, and it depended on two police officers turning.

I don't know Yeah, I there was a bit about the ending that quite stick

Cris: It's, it's, it's very, it's very,

It's very

difficult, I think, now to have an ending to a movie, to an action movie, especially about revenge and about all the circumstances where you do something that hasn't been seen before, or it's still really interesting, because generally you always have the antic, the climax of the villain fighting it out with,

Sidey: Climaxed

Cris: already a couple of times,

Sidey: Mm-hmm

Dan: a handsome guy.

Cris: yeah.

well, of course, yeah. Great eyes and great looks, so yeah, good, good, strong recommend from me.

Sidey: Good cycling content, although minus points for lack of helmet,

you

Cris: Although, or Lycra for you would be lack of Lycra.

Sidey: Yeah. He was wearing, he was, it was a gravel bite though, so he might, they tend to wear more baggy. They're not about, it's not about Super Bowl speed. So I'm definitely calling bullshit on that because, you know, the problem, those roads in the US probably 55.

And so we're saying him on a gravel bike, probably 35 mil tires doing 55 K to catch, well, more to catch up with it.

Cris: there's a good bit where he changes gear, the bus driver, and he starts to accelerate away and then Aaron Pierre, he changes gear in his legs.

I

Sidey: You could do

Reegs: a good bit where he changes gear, the bus driver and he starts to accelerate away. And then Aaron, he changes gear in his legs. I

Sidey: wasn't having that.

Reegs: Just

Dan: there's

Sidey: Yeah, yeah, on an aero, you know, there's sprinters there Well Cavendish might be able to catch him, but

Cris: But not,

Dan: he wasn't, Cavendish and he just did it for a fist bump.

Sidey: than that, I really enjoyed

Reegs: Strong

Sidey: Good.

Strong,

Dan: Yeah, just check this one out.

Sidey: Blippy, Blippy, Blippy,

Dan: Blippi, this is shit.

Cris: told you

Sidey: Could have told you that.

week.

Dan: Yeah, well okay. Let me do a quick summary because I watched this with Nelly. That was her words, not mine. No, she obviously didn't say that. But she felt it.

Cris: And no, not those words,

Dan: was. I think it's 15 minutes of absolute pain.

Was it 12

Reegs: Well, no, it was about 15 minutes. But, should you be interested, there is a 2 plus hour version of this on YouTube. Because, they

Cris: in one, or what?

Reegs: No, because this is Blippi's Ultimate Bounce House Challenge, and it's Bippist, Blippi's biggest ball pit challenge, and it takes some like inflatable, like,

Dan: an inflatable

Reegs: cut, but a massive one, absolutely enormous, like, not just a castle, like loads of them all

Dan: he's he's gonna fill it with half a million and it's it's such a big space. It doesn't even go over his ankles really the amount of balls he's got.

Sidey: Really?

Reegs: So,

Dan: just so lame.

Reegs: at a time.

You

Dan: just needed him to drown in these balls. You didn't want to see him anymore.

Reegs: Well, the thing is, Dan, it, it's not blippy anymore though. And it's not even the replacement Blippy, so obviously the replacement blip, right?

So Blippy, once he got big enough, was like, fuck this. I am not dressing up like this cunt in a

Sidey: every

Reegs: day, like in a bow tie

Sidey: day. Yeah.

Reegs: I'm gonna pay some other mug to do it.

Sidey: He fucked off as well.

Reegs: And this guy is fucked off as well. So they've got a

Sidey: Third iteration

Reegs: Yeah.

Cris: Was like the Russian dolls, where you, they just kind of, yeah. No.

Reegs: so there's that. And there's Mika as well.

Dan: and then they had these three kids that I would, yeah, I would kill them all.

Yeah,

Cris: would kill them

they,

Dan: honestly, I, the ball pit challenge, What is the challenge? What is it? Do you have

Cris: to run through it or

something?

Dan: it or something?

I can't even

Cris: the American Gladiator where you kind of fight some

Reegs: Dan probably didn't watch it, is probably what I'm

Dan: shit. Dan

Reegs: They did first of all, there was a,

Dan: is probably what I'm guessing. They

Reegs: they play Floor is Lava.

For a little which actually looked like kind of

Dan: No, it didn't

Reegs: yeah, then they play they get DJ Soros Rex to come out,

Sidey: was so

Reegs: depressing. This guy in this like really cheap looking inflatable

Dan: so sorry for these people

Reegs: And

Dan: I've backed this.

I've put it on. I've nominated. I wouldn't say I've backed it. I was just curious. I was in a bit of a bind. I was getting late in the in the week. I think it was about Thursday before I came up with any noms which normally we would do on a on a Tuesday or Wednesday. So I was getting I was getting trolled online by you lot about.

And so

Cris: Rightly

Sidey: us.

Dan: I'm going, what about this one? And we watched it because I thought it's 15 minutes long, a ball challenge. I thought maybe it could be, no,

Reegs: Well, at one point, they release 100, 000 balls from a crane thing

Sidey: over Concrete ones. I,

Reegs: I, if only, I thought, I was going to say, I wrote in my notes, two eight year olds were hospitalized, but it was just because I was fantasizing at that

Dan: fantasizing. It was it's the equivalent though, because of the space was so big of having Two balls in a bathtub or something, you know, it was like

nothing on it.

Reegs: know, it

Dan: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've heard that before. I've heard that, but this was that, this was as bad as you are likely to find.

Sidey: we, like Riggs mentioned before, we have done two versions of Blippi before. We've done Blippi and then the spin off Mika. So I knew exactly what was in store.

I think when we first

did

Dan: I know now for sure

Sidey: you said there was, there was like a science behind some of the stuff that he does.

Like,

Dan: well

Reegs: that He chose his, well, How

he chose his name is like down to like combinations of letters that children find. And at the end of it he has a reinforcing thing where Anyway.

Sidey: I have to sit and watch it. It's awful, yeah. Right,

Dan: okay. Yeah, If you've got children, save them from this. Do not let them

Cris: Show them something

Reegs: children, save

them from this, do not let them watch this.

Sidey: an art installation thing?

Reegs: No. He did a sort of scat thing. Yeah. Where his mate shot on him.

Dan: This is scat.

Cris: Who?

Reegs: Blippy. The original

Dan: I reckon this could be the to blame for people putting Sort of bats through TVs and stuff. It's

It really infects your eyes. It's as bad as Television program for children as I've seen really annoying Really just a waste of time

Sidey: Strong recommend?

Dan: Strong recommend
