EP. 341.5 — Hobbs & Shaw LIVE! w/ Adam Scott & Nicole Byer (RE-RELEASE)

Paul Scheer [00:00:00] Hello people of Earth. This week we are taking a break from Last Looks while we are on tour in the UK. And by the way, come out and see us. Come. I think we’re still there. And instead we are serving up a brand new well, actually an old new classic HDTGM episode. That’s right, the only movie in the Fast franchise we haven’t yet rereleased from the vault. It is 2019’s Hobbs and Shaw. I know this is a divisive movie, but it’s one of my favorites and I love this episode featuring all star guests. We’re talking about Adam Scott and Nicole Byer, but before this episode starts, since there is no Last Looks today, I wanted to make sure that you could still prep for our next new movie episode, and I’m sure you guessed it by now. But next week we’ll be closing out the 50 Shades of Gray trilogy with 2018’s 50 Shades Free. That’s right people, we done did it. All the 50 Shades movies back to back to back. We couldn’t do that to you, so we had to split it up over a couple of months. We have a great guest coming up for that. And if you want to watch along with us, you can play 50 Shades of Gray on Max. Or you can rent it on Apple TV, YouTube, or Google Play. And as always, make sure you send us your corrections and omissions for our latest episode on Ronal the Barbarian. And don’t worry, we’ll cover Ronal and 50 Shades Free on our next Last Looks episode. You can still submit corrections and omissions on our discord at discord.gg/HDTGM or leave us a voicemail. I love a voicemail at 619-PAUL-ASK. That’s all I got, people. See you next time.

 

Paul Scheer [00:01:32] Sentient motorcycles, Samoan warfare and more insults than any movie ever made. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Fast and Furious we were promised. We saw Hobbs and Shaw, so you know what that means.

 

Music [00:02:07] [Intro Song}

 

Paul Scheer [00:02:23] Hello people of Earth! And hello, people of the home town of Mr. Luke Hobbs. We are in Los Angeles, California at the Largo Theater. Oh my goodness. Hello, family. Hello, family. Let me ask you a simple question. Where are my Hobbs people at? Where my Shaw people at? Damn straight. It’s a Shaw audience. This is the Jason Statham I have been waiting for. Holy shit, I could recap this movie or try to tell you what it’s about, but simply there is not enough time. More things happen in the first four minutes of this movie than most pictures released on screen the entire summer. The first four minutes is the equivalent to what happens in both of the last Avengers movies. We are going to break it down tonight. We have an amazing all star panel and I can’t do it alone. So please welcome my co-host, Mr. Jason Mantzoukas!

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:03:57] What’s up, Jerks!? How we doing, everybody? Come on LA! This movie is fucking rad. This movie is. You know how good this movie is? Sometimes they have to bisect the screen so they can show you more images. One screen can’t contain the movie. Split screen, baby! Hobbs and Shaw 2, whole movie, split screen. Split it four ways. Lets Mike Figgis this shit.

 

Paul Scheer [00:04:35] Make it the timecode of action movies. Jason, you and I said something that I feel like we should share off the bat. We saw it together last night.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:04:45] Together. We went on a date last night.

 

Paul Scheer [00:04:49] And whispered to each other the entire time, I fucking love this.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:04:54] I leaned over at one point and said, I never want this to end.

 

Paul Scheer [00:04:59] And that was in the first five minutes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:02] And I. I still got that sentiment remains.

 

[00:05:06] I think the movie’s over three hours, I don’t know, I don’t care. It wasn’t long enough.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:11] I would like to give this movie more of my life.

 

Paul Scheer [00:05:17] Oh my goodness. Well, we said, I think we said the thing that that I think about and I thought about it all day today.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:23] I also took notes on Alamo Drafthouse order slips.

 

Paul Scheer [00:05:27] I have them as well there. And it’s possible to.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:30] It is straight nonsense. “Night.” Why? “18 montage.” Don’t know. I wrote it, though.

 

Paul Scheer [00:05:44] I wrote this, I wrote Funny Car, which I now I think I do remember. Jason, we were saying last night. It’s as if the parents left for the weekend and the kids threw the best party of all time.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:05:59] It’s like the minute Vin Diesel was out the door, they were like, yes!

 

Paul Scheer [00:06:05] We get to play with all this shit.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:06:07] Oh, shit. This is crazy. It literally was like, You want cars? Yup. You want guns? Yup. How about fights? We got them.

 

Paul Scheer [00:06:19] Do you want old school Samoan war weapons? I did not know that was an option, but. Yes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:06:25] Wait wait wait. Though we normally we can’t bust balls in these movies. But wait, can we now? Oh, oh, we’re gonna bust balls.

 

Paul Scheer [00:06:37] They. I mean, this movie is, like, also a legit comedy. It’s crazy. It’s all right. But again, I don’t want to. I don’t want to. I don’t want to get into too.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:06:48] From the comedic superstar team. Just like I’m talking Abbott and Costello. I’m talking about.

 

Paul Scheer [00:06:57] Statham and The Rock

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:06:58] Lewis and Martin. I’m talking about Statham and The Rock. I’m talking about. Oh my God.

 

Paul Scheer [00:07:05] Well, we obviously have a.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:07:08] This movie that we had to continuously stop ourselves in the green room from having the conversation we are having on stage because we were numerous times the minute we got back, they were like, and what about this? And what if we did it? Would it be blue?

 

Paul Scheer [00:07:25] I could talk about it all night. Well, we have a Fast and Furious expert with us tonight. He has helped us break down these movies in the past. He also joined Jason and I on our outing last night. You know him, from such great shows as, Parks and Rec and Big Little Lies. Please welcome Mr. Adam Scott.

 

Adam Scott [00:08:06] Just to add a little bit to what you guys were saying about wanting more and wanting to give more of your life to this movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:08:14] Please.

 

Adam Scott [00:08:15] I would watch this movie. No hyperbole, no exaggeration. I would watch this movie for five years. I mean, five years.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:08:32] I’m in. If you said right now we’re just going to watch the movie. Yeah. Instead, do the show. I’d be like, yes.

 

Adam Scott [00:08:40] Yeah, let’s do that.

 

Paul Scheer [00:08:42] I can’t think of the last time I’ve gone back to the theater to see a movie. I will go back to see this movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:08:47] A million percent.

 

Adam Scott [00:08:48] 100% or 1,000,000%. Sorry.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:08:52] No no no no.

 

Adam Scott [00:08:53] That beats 100%.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:08:55] 100% is the same as a million.

 

Paul Scheer [00:09:00] Adam, I mean, like, obviously you’re devoting five years to it. Favorite part that just jumps out at you at any point? Anything you want to just talk about out the, you know, out of the gate?

 

Adam Scott [00:09:10] Oh, God. I mean, there’s so much, you know, one thing that did occur to me today that I was like, that was that was great was when.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:09:22] Period. Just occured to you today. That was great. Yeah.

 

Adam Scott [00:09:29] There’s so much. And that’s right there. That’s one of them.

 

Paul Scheer [00:09:33] Yeah. Ax and the chainsaw.

 

Adam Scott [00:09:36] Yeah. But when. When Jason Statham’s like. Listen, I don’t want you to touch my sister. And The Rock was like, listen, it’s not 1955. If she decides she wants a piece of this, then she can climb all over this dick or whatever he said.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:09:54] He would never say dick. No, no. He refers to himself as a mountain that she can climb.

 

Adam Scott [00:09:58] Yes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:10:00] Like she can free solo this shit.

 

Adam Scott [00:10:02] That’s right, that’s right.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:10:03] By the way. Which means no condom.

 

Adam Scott [00:10:10] That’s Rock for raw dog?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:10:11] That’s what I think. That’s what I think everybody should be calling unprotected sex. I’m just going free solo on this one.

 

Paul Scheer [00:10:19] You saw unprotected sex. I just saw trying to get your hands into The Rock’s bicep. Like holes, like. Yeah. Getting in there. Just, like, all the way right under his ribs. I got a piece.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:10:31] Yeah. You could. You could climb The Rock.

 

Adam Scott [00:10:35] No ropes.

 

Paul Scheer [00:10:36] No, I do, I want to bring out our next guest before we go too deep into it. But I will say the person I felt bad for. There’s an extended sequence on that airplane which we won’t break down right now, but Vanessa Kirby has to be asleep for all of it. And I was like, she must have days like that. I think she had an eye mask on. I was like, I feel bad for her. She’s like, hey, you don’t get to have any fun in these scenes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:10:57] Are you kidding? That is the greatest days of her. Like, oh, she got to sleep during those days.

 

Adam Scott [00:11:04] It’s like the days on shows and stuff that I love. When it’s just a full day of just having to walk and open doors or go to the refrigerator where you don’t have any actual, like, stuff to do. Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:11:15] But I just feel like you want to get in on that action. There’s a lot of good. There’s a lot of good, fun. A lot of good ball busting on that airplane, you know, and sit on the sidelines and good shit’s going.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:24] I gotta get in on this banter.

 

Adam Scott [00:11:28] Gotta bust some balls.

 

Paul Scheer [00:11:31] Hobbs and Shaw 2: Busting Balls.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:34] By the way.

 

Adam Scott [00:11:35] If they don’t make a fucking sequel to this movie. Like.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:39] I’m gonna quit the biz.

 

Adam Scott [00:11:40] Absolutely.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:11:43] That’s a legit threat. If they do not order a sequel to this movie. I will quit the biz.

 

Paul Scheer [00:11:53] And everybody quit going to movies. This movie came in number one the first two weeks it’s been out so far, so that’s huge. But today, we have another guest out here and she is I’m going to say she’s a Jason Statham expert. And as we found out backstage, we’ll talk about this a little bit. Also an original Fast and Furious fan like from the get.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:12:16] Like posters on her bedroom wall.

 

Adam Scott [00:12:19] Really? This is exciting.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:12:22] Of a young Vin.

 

Paul Scheer [00:12:24] She hosts a podcast called Best Friends, and she is also the star of Nailed It. Please welcome Nicole Byer!

 

Nicole Byer [00:12:44] Yes. Yes, yes.

 

Paul Scheer [00:12:46] Welcome, welcome, welcome.

 

Nicole Byer [00:12:47] Thank you.

 

Paul Scheer [00:12:49] So excited to have you here. And did not know that you were a Fast and Furious fan from the get go.

 

Nicole Byer [00:12:54] My God, the first movie is just a remake of Point Break and it’s perfect. Also, Vin Diesel, I just like, would love to take a ride on that head, you know, like, it’s just, like, primed and prepped for my pussy. Like, I, like, I truly spent so much time just cutting out that bald head to make collages.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:13:16] And that is so crazy.

 

Paul Scheer [00:13:19] I mean, that is peak Diesel. We were talking about this a little bit backstage. Yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:13:23] Peak Diesel?

 

Paul Scheer [00:13:24] Peak Diesel is Fast and furious Diesel. I feel like.

 

Nicole Byer [00:13:26] I just love a man who you don’t understand, you know? Yeah. I was on the car and I’m learning Fast, doing steal like I. Oh, I loved it.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:13:38] I mean, this is again, just to remind everybody that is a movie about street racers selling stolen combination TV, DVD players.

 

Paul Scheer [00:13:50] It’s might have been combination VHS.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:13:54] Cyborgs.

 

Adam Scott [00:13:55] Yeah. And like you pointed out in the Alamo video, like, these guys have saved the world like four times.

 

Nicole Byer [00:14:03] Four times.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:14:03] So many times.

 

Adam Scott [00:14:04] The US military depends on these guys.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:14:08] They make our intelligence officers look like morons.

 

Adam Scott [00:14:15] Fools, all of them.

 

Paul Scheer [00:14:16] The cool thing about this movie, besides the fact that it’s a spin off, is they didn’t rely on any like, other characters. It’s like, oh fuck all you have. Yeah, yeah. Like they didn’t bring in Kurt Russell, didn’t bring in anyone. They’re like, no, we got it, guys, get the fuck out of here.

 

Adam Scott [00:14:32] Cars weren’t even central to the battles because it wasn’t until the end of the movie that I was like, well, yeah, this is Fast and the furious. Like, they like, they.

 

Nicole Byer [00:14:44] And those weren’t even cars. Those are trucks.

 

Paul Scheer [00:14:45] Yeah, yeah.

 

Adam Scott [00:14:46] Yeah, exactly.

 

Nicole Byer [00:14:47] Yeah. It’s. Yeah, they seem like they were like just saying like, fuck yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:14:51] Well that’s the thing they, they did, they pulled like the central component which is street races, which is, measuring your dicks vis-a-vis cars. I mean, and they did it. They took all their they stripped all that stuff out because even like the Fast movies now, you know, it literally is like, okay, we’re going to drop ourselves into this place. I guess we’ll drop ourselves in inside of cars.

 

Paul Scheer [00:15:17] No, these guys flew commercial. Yeah, they go commercial a couple times.

 

Nicole Byer [00:15:22] Also. Economy.

 

Paul Scheer [00:15:24] Yeah. Well, I was wondering at one point I was like, I want to see either of them pack because they have a lot of wardrobe changes.

 

Adam Scott [00:15:32] And awesome some clothes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:15:33] I love that wherever they were, they found a bag of new clothing for them to wear. They were like, okay, this is for you. Put that on. They did that three times in the movie.

 

Paul Scheer [00:15:44] I mean, The Rock, when The Rock was put in his outfit where he had like a little mustache.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:15:49] Oh my god.

 

Adam Scott [00:15:51] That’s a thing. Vin Diesel would never get into, funny disguises.

 

Paul Scheer [00:15:55] No.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:15:57] What did I say? No hijinx. No hijinx, just Dom punch Dom win. Family family Dom punch, now race. Nas gas, I am Groot.

 

Paul Scheer [00:16:16] Somebody told me that he does every one of those lines individually and and really? Yeah, yeah.

 

Nicole Byer [00:16:26] What? Those are the longest days.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:16:29] Every I am Groot?

 

Paul Scheer [00:16:30] Yeah. And asks for a lot of, like, what am I saying now? Got it.

 

Adam Scott [00:16:36] I am Groot.

 

Paul Scheer [00:16:37] And now? I am Groot, and now? I am Groot. But, I did find it’s even funny because, Vanessa Kirby, who I loved.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:16:51] Amazing.

 

Adam Scott [00:16:52] She was awesome.

 

Nicole Byer [00:16:53] She was great. But I do have to say, they didn’t give her a makeup artist. At one point, I was like, can someone get her chapstick?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:17:00] Yes.

 

Nicole Byer [00:17:01] Her lips were chapped for half the movie.

 

Paul Scheer [00:17:04] Vanessa Kirby is the only one that retains bruises, too. Yeah, like those two guys get hit with bricks, cars, buildings, and they’re like, okay, back to normal. Vanessa Kirby had, like a black eye for a while.

 

Nicole Byer [00:17:17] Because I think it’s because we’re in a Me Too movement. We got to remember you hit a lady, it’s bad.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:17:24] It’s a subtle reminder that let’s not keep hitting these ladies with cars. Meanwhile, like, meanwhile, like Idris Elba, Black Superman can punch and kick The Rock and Statham over and over and over again. They are no must. No. Fuss. They look dynamite.

 

Paul Scheer [00:17:45] Yeah. They are literally being thrown, like thrown across rooms. When we meet Idris Elba, he punches through a truck. But yet she’s able to escape him anyway. No big deal.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:17:56] Oh my God.

 

Paul Scheer [00:17:57] But when they’re giving out disguises, you know, Jason Statham is on his little, workshop where he references being in The Italian Job, which I love that there’s a shared universe here.

 

Adam Scott [00:18:06] That’s. That’s what that was? Yeah. Okay. That was awesome.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:18:09] I mean, what a crazy weird thing to even do.

 

Adam Scott [00:18:12] It was weird, yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:18:14] Did you also notice that, this is a real deep nerd shit, but, Idris Elba has a Wyland tattoo, which is a company from Alien, and he works for that company in Alien. So there’s also like, an Alien Fast and Furious crossover too.

 

Nicole Byer [00:18:29] Woah.

 

Adam Scott [00:18:31] Are they going to bring cars to space?

 

Nicole Byer [00:18:37] I hope.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:18:39] I only wish that just like Statham was at the end of this movie. Like, revealed to not be, Deckard Shaw, but in fact was Chev Chelios. Yeah. From Crank and that we just, like, straight up Crank the next movie.

 

Paul Scheer [00:18:54] By the way, that would be a great version of it. They’re both dying, and they have to keep on electrocuting themselves. If they did do a space movie, I feel like a majority of scenes would be ripping off their space suits and like, fuck it, I could breathe out here. Your lack of oxygen is nothing for me. I bench 500 pounds. So. Decker Shaw is making all their fake passports. Vanessa Kirby looks completely different. The Rock completely different.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:19:21] The Rock doesn’t look different at all.

 

Paul Scheer [00:19:24] He’s got a mustache.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:19:25] A pencil thin mustache.

 

Adam Scott [00:19:27] These dudes look exactly the same.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:19:29] Vanessa Kirby legit looks like a completely different person. She’s doing the job right. Jason Statham is wearing a hat.

 

Nicole Byer [00:19:37] And glasses.

 

Paul Scheer [00:19:38] Orange sunglasses.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:19:40] And The Rock is wearing a beret. And a pencil thin mustache because he’s supposed to be French? These are the only two. By the way, nobody’s looking for Vanessa Kirby. Her picture’s not on the news. Their picture is all over the news.

 

Paul Scheer [00:20:00] By the way, that sequence they’re in, we find out. Also, one of the side talents of Idris Elba is controlling the media. Which is wild.

 

Nicole Byer [00:20:12] Wild. It makes no sense. Also, after Idris Elba announces that they’re bad, they have the most public conversations, like they’re talking in that restaurant, and then they’re just talking real loudly on that plane. And that lady in the babushka. Who’s she? Maybe she’s a bad person who’s like, gotcha, who knows?

 

Paul Scheer [00:20:31] By the way, why didn’t Kevin Hart recognize them as being really bad guys? By theway, Kevin Hart is in this movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:20:38] So is Ryan Reynolds.

 

Adam Scott [00:20:41] And and it’s not just like one scene. It’s they’re both like in the movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:20:46] Yes.

 

Adam Scott [00:20:47] I think they worked for a day or two.

 

Nicole Byer [00:20:49] I think they had a clause that was like two locations max.

 

Adam Scott [00:20:52] Yeah, totally.

 

Nicole Byer [00:20:53] Both of them were only in two locations.

 

Paul Scheer [00:20:55] Ryan Reynolds specifically, it shows that he worked one day. They must have done reshoots because he’s, like, doing a big thing at the end. He’s like, I’m still in that coffee shop I met you in earlier. Why? Why would you be in the closed coffee shop?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:21:09] Yeah, definitely. Those two guys had reshoot scenes that were just to keep them more in the movie, cause somebody was like, this is funny. It’s working. The test audience loves when they’re on screen. Is there any way we can get them to do a little bit more? Well, we can try. And then it’s literally like I’m in a bathroom communicating with you.

 

Paul Scheer [00:21:30] Like it answers a question that you always ask, like, well, how did they even get to Samoa? We’ll answer it. Kevin Hart, get on the toilet. Let’s go. And you know what? Didn’t mind it at all. Will say, my breath was taken away when Kevin Hart popped out.

 

Nicole Byer [00:21:45] Same, I gasped. I went, oh, no, it’s Kevin Hart. I was so loud during my screening. I don’t know if people were happy. I just love to giggle.

 

Paul Scheer [00:22:04] Ryan Reynolds in the movie is interesting because it seems like he’s having fun, that he’s in a Fast and Furious movie. But then is, were are they partners?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:22:16] I think he thinks he’s in a Deadpool movie. He’s playing a character who seems to be very aware he’s in a movie. He all but looks into camera and is like, can you believe I’m in this one too?

 

Adam Scott [00:22:31] But they were they were like in the Special Forces together. And he just thought they were best friends with The Rock.

 

Paul Scheer [00:22:38] And they got the same tattoo.

 

Adam Scott [00:22:41] Same tattoo.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:22:41] Well, that’s what it seemed to me was that the game they were trying to play was Ryan Reynolds is obsessed with The Rock, right? Has the necklace. Got the same tattoo, but that they don’t. But that The Rock was never, like, interested in being friends. I don’t think they were friends and are now not. I think Ryan Reynolds is just straight obsessed with him.

 

Adam Scott [00:23:02] But they’re also they also work together still, because it seemed like him handing him the mission. There was some routine to that.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:23:10] Like he was his handler or something.

 

Adam Scott [00:23:10] Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:23:10] Yes, but yet he’s not working like he retired in the last movie. Yeah. That’s right. Yeah. They’re like, here’s your badge and gun back. He’s like, nope, I’m going to be with my kid from now on. But yet he still has a handler.

 

Nicole Byer [00:23:23] Right? Can I just say? When he was going through his kids grades, they were just looking at loose leaf. I and I was like, you just tore that from a legal pad. Like, that’s not a report card. I was so I was like, this is yellow. Like this. It’s not a report card.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:23:42] When the daughter Hans hands him the biology report that is of the family tree and it is just his name. And then question mark. I was like, this is everything. This is everything. And here’s the thing. This is a movie that, like, makes you genuinely be like, oh, The Rock. He’s such a good dad. And then like eight minutes later, he is jumping out of a skyscraper.

 

Paul Scheer [00:24:15] Running down the side like Spiderman.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:24:18] Not even. Fallng until he can grab a man. Who is tethered to the building. Then he jumps off of that man. Free falls again. You. Are. A. Father.

 

Paul Scheer [00:24:32] And he he literally got off a Skype phone call to do that. Yeah, he was Skyping. Hold on. Click. Let me jump out a window. Like, it wasn’t like oh, I got caught up in the moment. It was. No, I’m doing it.

 

Adam Scott [00:24:48] I liked it.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:24:50] His child should be taken away from him.

 

Adam Scott [00:24:52] The soldiers that he was after. Who Idris Elba and those other guys, they hook a line onto their back and then just run down the face of a skyscraper. That’s what they were doing, right? But they were doing it as if, oh, we’re we’re going to do that thing where we just walk on and then we run down the face of the skyscraper.

 

Nicole Byer [00:25:13] I mean, they were time travelers. They were from the future.

 

Adam Scott [00:25:16] You’re right. There’s a cyborg and his friends.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:25:20] But they’re also cyborgs, right?

 

Nicole Byer [00:25:22] No.

 

Adam Scott [00:25:23] They’re in a cult together.

 

Nicole Byer [00:25:24] They’re in a cult. And then you have to, like, win cyborg privileges.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:25:29] I think Idris Elba. Idris Elba is the most cyborg. My guess is they’ve got, like, a little bit of cyborg.

 

Paul Scheer [00:25:37] They just can say like, like in, like the like, like Google Maps in their eye and not punch powers.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:25:44] And and more often than not, it’s like can’t find signal and it’s just guessing where you are.

 

Nicole Byer [00:25:51] But also his little eye thing was not helpful. When someone does this obviously they’re going to hit you.

 

Music [00:25:57] Yeah.

 

Adam Scott [00:25:57] Yeah.

 

Nicole Byer [00:25:58] And it was like impact imminent. Well yeah. Duh. It’s back here.

 

Paul Scheer [00:26:05] We also established that Idris Elba at a certain point, the first scene, lets someone shoot into his hand. So what would any punch do to him? He’s a fucking road. Yeah. Hit me hands down. Yeah. Go ahead.

 

Nicole Byer [00:26:19] Okay. So when Idris Elba is defeated. I was like I was like, why the black man? Why does he have to die? But then I was like, well, he’s a cyborg. He’s not black.

 

Paul Scheer [00:26:32] But by the way, if we know anything from this franchise, he will be back.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:26:36] Oh, yeah.

 

Nicole Byer [00:26:37] Yeah, he’s just deactivated. He’s like an old iPhone.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:26:41] I’m not kidding. Based on how these movies work, he will be a good guy in two movies.

 

Adam Scott [00:26:51] 100%.

 

Paul Scheer [00:26:53] There felt like an 85% chance I’ll be good. Like it was going to break my.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:26:58] Oh! It’s coming. It’s got. He will. Again. Let me remind you, Jason Statham killed Han. Yeah, he’s a bad guy. He killed one of the best characters in this series.

 

Paul Scheer [00:27:13] Here’s my issue with this. Everyone who wants justice for Han, I will talk to you for a second and say this. Han was a part of an operation that attached a safe to a car and ran down the street. So many people died. Han is also a bad guy. Han has blood on his hands. A little kid eating ice cream in wherever the fuck they were. Brazil. Blah! Dead. Cause of the fucking safe. Han is no, they all got blood on their hands, people. We don’t need to be singing praises for Han.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:27:47] Gisele’s dead too. Justice for Gisele?

 

Paul Scheer [00:27:51] Well, Gisele fell out of the plane.

 

Nicole Byer [00:27:56] Yeah. If you fall of a plane, fuck you.

 

Paul Scheer [00:27:59] Oh, I’m going to say the one thing that was so disturbing about Idris Elba’s henchmen. This is one thing. It was one small detail, and I feel like it didn’t get enough attention. But they’re talking about the bodies that they found at the scene of that opening crime, and they said they were stabbed by a brick and it was like, oh, and so they were just killed by bullets. But then, like interest, I was like, take care of them. So one of those fucking cyborgs, like, I’m gonna fucking shove a brick?

 

Adam Scott [00:28:26] We need to see that particular murder.

 

Paul Scheer [00:28:29] Like, what is that like? That was they’re getting casually getting rid. Like the stabbing someone through with a brick?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:28:36] My assumption was that Idris Elba had done that.

 

Nicole Byer [00:28:39] No, cause he got on his self driving motorcycle.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:28:41] No, no. You’re right.That motorcycle.

 

Nicole Byer [00:28:45] Is very smart.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:28:47] Very smart. And actually, in the movie makes Transformers sounds.

 

Music [00:28:53] Yeah.

 

Adam Scott [00:28:53] Yes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:28:54] The sound cue from Transformers is used in this movie.

 

Adam Scott [00:29:02] Yes. That’s right.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:29:05] This movie’s amazing.

 

Adam Scott [00:29:06] Yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:29:09] This movie’s like fuck you. Your thing? We do it too. Your thing’s our thing. You got superheroes. Fuck you. We got them too now. Machines transform? Yep, we do that. What is your thing sound like? Fuck. We’ll do that too.

 

Paul Scheer [00:29:27] They’re in full pirates costume. They’re just doing Pirates of the Caribbean. Like, fuck! We’re fucking pirates now.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:29:34] We have a multiverse. Some of us are pirates. Fuck it.

 

Paul Scheer [00:29:38] All of a sudden, collecting stones, putting them in Idris Elba’s, spine. Click click click click click. Let’s do it. The.

 

Adam Scott [00:29:47] Idris Elba was awesome. He was a great bad guy. He was hilarious.

 

Nicole Byer [00:29:54] So funny. I really loved what he went through that double decker bus and then threw a fit.

 

Adam Scott [00:29:59] Yeah, he was he was pissed off.

 

Nicole Byer [00:30:04] I want that to be my reaction when I go through a double decker bus.

 

Paul Scheer [00:30:10] Not only did he go through it, he seemingly ripped off like full side of it.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:30:15] But keep in mind, nobody was on it?

 

Nicole Byer [00:30:17] No.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:30:19] Like he should have plowed through people, be covered in their blood. Yeah. And still throw a tantrum.

 

Nicole Byer [00:30:27] What a downer that would be to have, like, a woman hanging off the side of the bus dead as Idris Elba’s like rats.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:30:32] But that’s, that’s that’s the world these movies live in. These movies live in a world in which the world’s population is 3200 people. And none of our heroes interact with them at all.

 

Paul Scheer [00:30:46] They also live in a world where in the middle of like, wherever they are in London, in the like, where they’re seeing all the jumbotrons, they play every country’s news channel simultaneously.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:30:57] It’s as if that the news in Times Square was like, oh, you want to see six different channels of news? They’re all right here.

 

Paul Scheer [00:31:06] Like, yeah, what? Why would you ever want to be in limiting? I wonder what Japanese, what the news in Japan’s doing there. oh. They’re on there, too. They all went live, no matter what. There’s all different times of the day. That’s London, that’s New York, that’s Germany. I think it’s all. Yeah. Breaking news. These guys, get them. Even though they’re in London. Get them.

 

Adam Scott [00:31:26] That was that was interesting. When Idris Elba, when it’s revealed that he’s in control of all news and media and immediately everyone on CNN and Fox, everyone’s just reading Idris Elba’s news. Yeah. Like how in the world did he do that.

 

Nicole Byer [00:31:44] A text message.

 

Adam Scott [00:31:46] All right. Okay. Sorry.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:31:47] Well, here’s the thing. There come that. What’s it called?

 

Paul Scheer [00:31:51] Weyland.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:31:52] No. Oh. Anteon. Yeah. So Anteon controls the world’s media, right? They’ve created a cyborg super soldier, and they are. Their primary concern is a virus? Like they because they want to wipe people out or blah, blah, blah. They are already have achieved multiple like, villain goals, right? They’ve they’ve already won.

 

Paul Scheer [00:32:19] Because Hobbs and Shaw. Because everyone else has not been able to stop them, but.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:32:23] He seems to be operating in the background entirely. Like they have, like they have done like four things already that are worthy of like, like one single movie’s pursuit.

 

Adam Scott [00:32:35] Did they? Did they make the connection from the virus to the cyborg army and eventually turning everyone into cyborgs?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:32:42] Yes, because they’re going to kill the weak. Cyborg the strong. And that’s like human evolution.

 

Nicole Byer [00:32:48] But I thought the virus killed everybody.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:32:51] Only the weak. Only the weak. Right? It’s programmed to kill the weak.

 

Paul Scheer [00:32:57] I thought you said that literally.

 

Nicole Byer [00:32:59] It melts your insides.

 

Paul Scheer [00:33:01] The new one’s gonna melt your outsides. Again, that feels like a joke, but yet they treat it real. That’s what the hard thing about this movie is. I’m like, I get it. Yeah. All right. Like, they, they they are doing jokes, but they’re presenting them with stone face. Maybe it’s it’s maybe it is, it’s Ryan Reynolds. And like, I don’t know when to take him seriously or not.

 

Nicole Byer [00:33:26] I mean, that’s his magic.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:27] That’s clearly them. Like, with him, we’ve got, like, two hours with him for reshoots, like just riff. Riff. And somebody threw that line in there, like, put it in.

 

Adam Scott [00:33:37] I was just gonna say, I feel like this is them. Ryan Reynolds Ryan Reynolds will now have a another spin off, right? Isn’t that kind of what this like? No, no, seriously, I figured that’s what they were doing.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:48] Like. Please put me in that movie.

 

Adam Scott [00:33:50] Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:33:51] We all need to be in the Hobbs and Shaw multiverse. There’s a party in room.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:33:56] Part of Ryan Reynolds is team in whatever this.

 

Nicole Byer [00:34:00] What if it’s Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart? It’s them.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:34:04] Great.

 

Adam Scott [00:34:04] Yes, yes.

 

Nicole Byer [00:34:06] That would be fun.

 

Paul Scheer [00:34:07] Don’t sell yourself short. Look, I’m a bald man. To see a movie with two bald leads is one of the how far we have come. It means so much to me.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:34:20] Up until now, that’s why you haven’t been in Fast and Furious. Because they’re like, we already have two bald guys.

 

Paul Scheer [00:34:26] Yeah. Three technically. Well, now they need a bald guy on their team to do something, yell at and push around. I’ll do whatever. Get your clothes out of the hamper.

 

Nicole Byer [00:34:38] Get your clothes out of the hamper?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:34:40] Your requests are to be yelled at or pushed around. Why don’t you get to be a hero?

 

Paul Scheer [00:34:50] The two guys yell at each other and push. These two guys argue the entire. They every time they they take out their guns on each other. I think the first hour and 30 minutes, it’s like, fuck you, fuck you, bam!

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:35:03] The great act three twist is that they discover the concept of teamwork.

 

Adam Scott [00:35:12] It’s true.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:35:14] These are grown men. Again. Let me remind you. The Rock is a father in the movie. And they have to be taught teamwork.

 

Paul Scheer [00:35:26] And it’s it literally is like, I’ll take a punch for you. Like, it’s it is like, I’ll take a punch for you and then you’ll take a punch for me.

 

Nicole Byer [00:35:33] It truly explains that Washington Post article about how, like, one dude doesn’t take more punches than another dude. They were like, I take one. You take one. And then I’ll take one. You take one. And I was like, what the fuck? Just hit the cyborg.

 

Paul Scheer [00:35:49] It is. It is a crazy.

 

Nicole Byer [00:35:52] It was so stupid. I was like, also during that conversation, why didn’t Idris Elba kill them? Like, Idris Elba could have murdered so many times.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:36:02] Oh yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:36:02] Idris Elba has moments where I feel like he’s like that Apple ball that spins because it’s like, why didn’t you like. Again, Vanessa Kirby is a human woman at this point. She has no special skills besides being a badass.

 

Nicole Byer [00:36:14] Except she can live forever. She was supposed to die after a couple hours and the sun rose and set.

 

Paul Scheer [00:36:20] This movie only took place in three days, Nicole.

 

Adam Scott [00:36:23] 72 hours.

 

Paul Scheer [00:36:24] 72 hours.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:36:25] 72 hours.

 

Nicole Byer [00:36:26] There was a lot of sunrises.

 

Adam Scott [00:36:28] I agree.

 

[00:36:28] Getting to Samoa from Russia. That’s 72 hours.

 

Nicole Byer [00:36:33] Oh yeah, like she’s dead.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:36:37] Agree. No no no the travel time alone is 72 hours.

 

Paul Scheer [00:36:43] They I mean when they hook her up to a mobile blood laboratory, I like that the justification was so quick. It’s like you’re more effective here with us. Wait, why? Stay in the fucking house.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:36:53] And then she’s on the battlefield with a blood machine like wearing it like it’s a cool backpack.

 

Nicole Byer [00:37:06] I loved it. I was like, This is Elizabeth. What’s her name? Elizabeth Holmes’ theranos or whatever. It was like, I love this, I love her. This is great.

 

Paul Scheer [00:37:15] I mean, I’ll watch Vanessa Kirby do anything. I did have an issue with the fact that when they capture her, put her on the plane, they’re pulling down the plane. But at any given point, that helicopter, the helicopter could crash and she is in it.

 

Adam Scott [00:37:29] Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:37:30] And the one thing is keep her alive. Yes. And they bring it down in such a way, and she kind of lands outside of it. But how would they know that that was.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:38] Let me be very clear. Yeah. Every single person involved in the helicopter slash dune buggy crash. At the end of this movie should be completely incinerated.

 

Adam Scott [00:37:53] Yes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:37:55] Period.

 

Adam Scott [00:37:55] Helicopter crashes are famously difficult to survive. As far as I know.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:38:00] Everybody survives. Even the machine. Even the blood machine.

 

Nicole Byer [00:38:09] But also, I really enjoy that scene specifically because the chain broke and then The Rock was like, I’ll do it. Yeah, yeah. And this man is just holding that helicopter and I was like, no one said no. You can’t.

 

Paul Scheer [00:38:26] Look he literally he from the last movie I see picked up a fucking missle.

 

Adam Scott [00:38:30] A torpedo.

 

Paul Scheer [00:38:32] Torpedo. And tossed it.

 

Nicole Byer [00:38:33] Well, there was a grenade at one point that someone put the pin back in it. And then Homegirl’s booby traps didn’t trick nobody. She did all this wire work and, everyone stepped over it. Yeah, because Jason’s, like, tippy tap at the computer, and then there’s a dude behind him that didn’t trip the wire. And I was like, I guess women are stupid.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:39:03] Here’s what I’ll say. If you’re going to have a booby trap, make it booby-er.

 

Paul Scheer [00:39:10] Wait. Adam, you were saying that.

 

Adam Scott [00:39:11] I was just going. Just to go back to the the magic blood machine. And it occurred to me when they were prepping for the battle in Samoa, that the primary reason they went while they were in Russia, and they’re like, what are we going to do? There’s that. We got this blood machine. It’s broken. Clearly we need to. And he’s like, I know they go to Samoa to go to his brother’s car garage to fix this blood machine. He’s the best mechanic. RBut this is a piece of imaginary technology. Yeah, that takes, poison out of blood and places it back into a capsule. Am I right? Is that.

 

Paul Scheer [00:39:57] The machine is very complex because it’s a syringe that seemingly is sucking everything in, like, a vacuum. But not all the blood. Just. Yes. Just a little vial.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:08] I’m sorry. I feel like you got. Listen, I feel like you guys are poking holes in this, and I need. I need to remind you, they have a 3D printer.

 

Paul Scheer [00:40:19] My favorite moment.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:21] They can do anything.

 

Paul Scheer [00:40:22] My favorite moment in that scene. It was supposed to be Jason Momoa as his brother, but he couldn’t do it because of scheduling conflicts.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:40:27] Wow.

 

Paul Scheer [00:40:27] Which would have been amazing. Mamoa in Samoa buddy.

 

Nicole Byer [00:40:31] Well I like that they gave that braided man a chance.

 

Paul Scheer [00:40:35] He was great.

 

Nicole Byer [00:40:36] Also the woman who played the mom. How wild. This bitch is throwing her flip flops. And then at one point she had this real chunky monologue. I was like, that was her audition, and I can’t believe she was hired. I. I loved her so much.

 

Paul Scheer [00:40:55] I love, I love when that the brother the the ponytail brother, ponytail brother like he he went good will hunting at a certain moment he’s like yeah, yeah right here.

 

Adam Scott [00:41:04] Yes.

 

Paul Scheer [00:41:06] How? Where do you get like?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:07] That’s like that’s like, oh my God. When they go to Eddie Mars Anne’s House, who is like the scientist who invented the blood machine and the virus or whatever, and he’s written science all over every surface of the room. Yeah. And you’re like, What the fuck is this?

 

Adam Scott [00:41:26] Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:41:27] I mean, Eddie Mars not super smart because when he gets beat up, like one, like one side of his glasses is like cracked, and he never fixes it. No. Like, he’s like, later, I just popped that one out. It didn’t work like he’s a keeping one.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:40] So I mean, he’s only there for, like, he’s probably alive for 36 hours of the movie.

 

Adam Scott [00:41:43] Yeah. He dies, right?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:41:45] He dies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When he comes out with the flamethrower.

 

Paul Scheer [00:41:49] Who would have thought that a flamethrower played a prominent role in two movies that made $100 million.

 

Adam Scott [00:41:54] Huge.

 

Paul Scheer [00:41:55] Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Hobbs and Shaw using the same weapon? Yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:42:02] I blame Elon Musk.

 

Nicole Byer [00:42:04] Why?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:42:05] Because his company sells a flamethrower.

 

Nicole Byer [00:42:07] Really?

 

Adam Scott [00:42:08] Do they? Really?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:42:09] They do.

 

Nicole Byer [00:42:09] Sounds wild.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:42:12] Am I wrong? Doesn’t his company have a flamethrower? Yeah. Thank you.

 

Nicole Byer [00:42:15] Why do you all know? That’s wild. I have one at home.

 

Paul Scheer [00:42:23] Can we just talk about the opening, the introduction to these characters, the dual scenes?

 

Nicole Byer [00:42:29] Oh, boy. They’re different.

 

Paul Scheer [00:42:33] But yet kind of the same.

 

Nicole Byer [00:42:36] Kind of the same. I gotta fight.

 

Paul Scheer [00:42:38] The one thing that I did like that those opening moments showed you, is that it seeming. It seems like Jason Statham does not train in anyway. He gets up, eats a nice egg like omelet, and then goes get gets a beer, like I like, but he doesn’t. There’s never like there was no push ups, no situps, but he is ready to fucking kick ass in a given.

 

Nicole Byer [00:43:00] And then he was holding that champagne bottle and like, catching it. And it seemed important. And then he broke it at the end of that fight. I was very confused.

 

Paul Scheer [00:43:09] Think it was I mean, it was the best. I mean, I think it was one of my favorite lines. He goes, I’m a champagne problem. And I just beat them the fuck out of the champagne bottle.

 

Nicole Byer [00:43:16] But why was it so important for him to catch? I get the choreography.

 

Paul Scheer [00:43:20] To kind of not get to get to it.

 

Nicole Byer [00:43:22] But he just broke it at the end.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:43:24] Well, the fight was over. He didn’t need it as a weapon anymore.

 

Nicole Byer [00:43:29] Drink it.

 

Adam Scott [00:43:30] Nicole has a problem with the waste.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:43:32] You are. You’re upset that.

 

Nicole Byer [00:43:34] I love booze.

 

Paul Scheer [00:43:37] Now you’re much more of. You’re much more of. You’re a Hobbs. You’re a Hobbs girl where he’s double shotting tequila.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:43:45] Right?

 

Nicole Byer [00:43:46] Yeah. Yeah. Booze.

 

Adam Scott [00:43:48] Oh, when Hobbs double shot the tequila. I thought that was interesting.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:43:53] Why was that happening?

 

Adam Scott [00:43:54] But. But also that they didn’t just use a different take because he did it and tequila just ran down his chin.

 

Paul Scheer [00:44:03] It was a cool thing. It sounded cool, like. And you come in, you don’t do a shot, you do two shots. I’ll do it the same time. Great. Did it work? Yeah.

 

Adam Scott [00:44:14] And then. And then his notes. He’s like, remember when I did that double shot of tequila I noticed that wasn’t in there? Can we throw that in? There like…. Sure.

 

Paul Scheer [00:44:22] Yeah.

 

Adam Scott [00:44:23] Yeah we’ll throw that back in there.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:44:27] So Dwayne really wants the double shot back in?

 

Adam Scott [00:44:31] But it dribbles down his chin.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:44:33] Down his face and it looks weird. I know, but he asked for it to be put back in.

 

Adam Scott [00:44:37] Yeah. Oh who gives a shit. Put it in.

 

Nicole Byer [00:44:40] Also, do you think The Rock was like, bring me your tightest denim jackets? He wore at least three very tight jackets.

 

Paul Scheer [00:44:50] One of them is his favorite.

 

Adam Scott [00:44:51] His favorite jacket.

 

Nicole Byer [00:44:52] Which is wild. That can’t be it.

 

Paul Scheer [00:44:56] They they are. This is a movie of great jackets. As a fan of jackets, I was a fan of this movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:45:02] Here’s the thing, we all know that we love the show Suits.

 

Paul Scheer [00:45:08] Yeah, we love Suits.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:45:09] What if I could tell you there was a new spin off of this movie called Jackets?

 

Adam Scott [00:45:15] Don’t they call out Jason Statham at one point in Samoa for wearing a jacket, and it’s like 100 degrees.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:45:21] Said it’s 110 degrees why are you wearing a jacket?

 

Paul Scheer [00:45:23] He goes throw another jacket on. The insults between them were so fucking fun.

 

Adam Scott [00:45:31] The best.

 

Paul Scheer [00:45:32] It seemed like they were like. And they didn’t run out. It wasn’t like they, like at the end of this movie. Well, they’re not friends, because if you stayed for the second post-credits scene, like The Rock calls the cops on him.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:45:46] On Statham?

 

Paul Scheer [00:45:47] On Statham. Yeah, The Rock calls on Statham under the name huge anus or Hugh Janis.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:45:53] Hugh Janis.

 

Paul Scheer [00:45:54] Yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:45:55] Wait, do you really not get this?

 

Nicole Byer [00:45:57] No, I got. I got, I got it. It’s Hugh like a weird obscure name. So be funny to call him Hugh. It’s a weird name, right?

 

Adam Scott [00:46:07] No.

 

Nicole Byer [00:46:07] Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:46:08] A British weird name. Yes.

 

Adam Scott [00:46:10] What was the first one they used in the with the passport?

 

Nicole Byer [00:46:13] Mike Dick? No. Mike, wait. What? Mike? Mike! Mike.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:46:17] Mike Oxmall

 

Nicole Byer [00:46:17] Mike. Oh Mike Oxmall.

 

Adam Scott [00:46:21] Mike Oxmall.

 

Nicole Byer [00:46:22] Also, I’ve never been to the airport and.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:46:25] Never?

 

Nicole Byer [00:46:27] No.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:46:28] How do you get around?

 

Nicole Byer [00:46:29] I just stay at home and know sometimes I blink and appear places. But like, I’ve never been to the airport where they have like a monitor that says accepted or denied. Like what the fuck?

 

Paul Scheer [00:46:41] And it seems so based on nothing.

 

Nicole Byer [00:46:43] Nothing.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:46:44] Well, in the movie, I think the logic of the movie sets up that for some reason Statham has, made has put Mike Oxmall on a list of some sort.

 

Nicole Byer [00:46:57] Yes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:46:57] To get rid of him so that he and Vanessa Kirby can go into it because he basically says she’s like, why did you do that? And he was like, he would only be dragging us down. I gotta get rid of him, blah, blah, blah. That’s why I think.

 

Paul Scheer [00:47:08] But it also posits a world in which they get to the airport early enough that The Rock can solve that problem and still board the flight before the doors.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:47:16] Again, 72 hours.

 

Nicole Byer [00:47:19] Gotta get there two hours early. International.

 

Adam Scott [00:47:21] And how does he solve that problem? He says people like him. That’s how he gets out of the TSA.

 

Paul Scheer [00:47:28] He doesn’t even have the mustache anymore.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:47:30] He doesn’t have the mustache.

 

Adam Scott [00:47:31] He doesn’t.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:47:32] Like comes back. Not only doesn’t he, does he not have the mustache, he doesn’t explain it. It’s as if. It’s as if the police, like, stop him, bring him back into a room. And he’s like, no, no, no no no no no, don’t you guys understand? It’s me. The Rock.

 

Paul Scheer [00:47:57] I’m doing a movie. I’m shooting a sequel, a spin off.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:00] Hobbs and Shaw from The Fast. Oh of course. Go go go. Please get on the plane.

 

Adam Scott [00:48:07] But following the the the logic of the movie, he gets caught. They bring him into a room to interrogate him. He’s one of the two, most, most wanted men in the world. And because he’s charming, he talks his way out of there.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:25] That is a scathing indictment on airline security.

 

Nicole Byer [00:48:33] Also, what did Jason Statham do to their faces on the passport? It was like technology to do nothing.

 

Paul Scheer [00:48:40] Because again, Jason Statham has no disguise on besides the hat and the orange glasses, which they would tell him probably take the orange glasses off. That fucks up our cameras. But yeah, that that was a little I mean, that was a the teeniest, tiniest logical really. I mean, just.

 

Nicole Byer [00:48:57] Very, very small.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:48:58] The only one.

 

Nicole Byer [00:49:00] Wait, when they went to Russia and there was all those pretty women killing people.

 

Paul Scheer [00:49:04] Charlie’s Angels.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:06] I’m sorry you mean the lingerie assassins?

 

Paul Scheer [00:49:09] She’s literally wearing a bright white.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:11] She was she wearing a bousiere and french kisses Statham for so long.

 

Nicole Byer [00:49:19] Also again, her weave was fucked up. Did they have any women on that set?

 

Paul Scheer [00:49:26] They’re too busy oiling down the. Yeah, like The Rock. That takes a long time.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:30] Also, I don’t think she was Russian.

 

Nicole Byer [00:49:33] No, she was fully American.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:35] She did not have any trace of a Russian accent.

 

Nicole Byer [00:49:39] Also whose house were they in?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:42] Why did Statham know to show up there?

 

Adam Scott [00:49:44] And why did they pull up in a Porsche? Like where did they get a Porsche? They land in Russia and just are delivered a Porsche.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:49:52] Is it from the Jason Statham Batcave?

 

Adam Scott [00:49:55] Right. Exactly.

 

Nicole Byer [00:49:55] Oh, maybe.

 

Adam Scott [00:49:56] Yes it was.

 

Paul Scheer [00:49:57] I just think it’s from like, The Rock is a Hertz Club member and he’s a gold member. He’s been going for a long time. He’s like, give me the port of the Porsche, please. Not the Corolla, the Porsche. But they like. But what I love is they show up mid like mid hijack. Like, she’s like, well, I am in the middle of, like, tying up this Russian gangster and stealing all this money. I guess you could stop by. It’ll be quick though. Yeah, yeah. Like, because they do stop by in the middle of, like.

 

Nicole Byer [00:50:23] And she magically has clothes for them.

 

Adam Scott [00:50:26] Yes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:50:28] More clothes for them then she is herself wearing.

 

Paul Scheer [00:50:31] And and they have changed since their flight. They’re all, they they get on the flight to Russia. Then they show up at the house in different clothes. And then she has yet different clothes for them again.

 

Adam Scott [00:50:43] But she also says, I have clothes for you.

 

Nicole Byer [00:50:46] Yes. Like she was expecting them. It’s so wild that there was clothing for them. But then home plate. What’s her name? Vanessa Kirby or whatever. Yeah. Her eyeliner really made me angry. It it was so bad. It was a wingtip that didn’t connect, and I. I just don’t understand. There was so many costume changes, but she couldn’t complete her eye?

 

Paul Scheer [00:51:10] I would love it if if literally they had no hair and makeup because if two bald dudes like we got it. Oh, hair? You want hair, huh?

 

Nicole Byer [00:51:19] Her nail polish was also chipped. Her nail polish was fucking chipped, and I don’t know if it was a character choice. You guys, where were the women?

 

Paul Scheer [00:51:29] I just, by the way.

 

Nicole Byer [00:51:31] Did she get paid? Like, what was she just a there? They’re like you’ll be in the movie. You look fucking fine. Like. No. And I would have been mad if I was her.

 

Paul Scheer [00:51:42] All of a sudden they tell her it’s like a low budget indie. They’re like, we all do our own makeup, so just come camera ready, you come camera ready. You’re blowing up like a whole town. Yeah, just film camera ready. We spent that. We spent it all on the, transporting The Rock’s gym. I realized what I could play in the movie. I could play their cue, but I’m just their dresser. I’m always like, oh, Hobbs and Shaw. Good thing. I have this jacket. Does it do anything? No, it’s. It’s a nice jacket.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:52:10] You’re just like their tailor measuring them.

 

Nicole Byer [00:52:14] I want to be in the movie as, like an unsuspecting fat lady who could do things, you know. Who’s like, oh, she can’t do shit. And then I’m like, oh, hiya. That’s what I want.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:52:28] I want that movie.

 

Paul Scheer [00:52:30] Jason, you mentioned earlier A-Team montage, and I wrote it down as. Yeah. Fist bump montage. Everyone just. It’s just a montage of fist bumps. And I loved it. Like, I was like. Like, what’s up? Fist bump. Over here. Fist bump. Let’s. You’re looking good. Fist bump.

 

Adam Scott [00:52:50] I don’t remember this.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:52:51] This was. Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [00:52:52] This is when.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:52:54] In Samoa when they’re getting ready for the invasion, right?

 

Paul Scheer [00:52:57] In between no man’s land and the kill box.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:52:59] Because to me it was like the A-Team. Because every episode of the A-Team in, like, the, you know, at the end of the fourth act would have like, well, we’re here, all we have is the resources of a junkyard. And, a modern army is about to attack us. Well, I guess we’re gonna have to build weapons and vehicles out of what we’ve got. And that’s what they do. And it’s a straight up A-Team montage.

 

Paul Scheer [00:53:24] I also like how they rigged up fireworks. How do we know they’re coming? Yeah. Like they their fireworks worked like, like, trip wire, but like what? How is that even I don’t know how you set up fireworks to trip wires.

 

Nicole Byer [00:53:37] Yeah, and nobody was tripping the wire because it was on the side of the cars. It was also everyone. Okay, so the Rock calls it Samoa, but everyone calls it Samoa. So what is it? One. Two. The only person who has a problem that a war is coming is his brother. Everyone is like hot dog!

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:53:57] Also. A war.

 

Nicole Byer [00:54:01] I’d be mad. Oh my God.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:54:03] Not only would I be mad, but the main reason I would be mad is because two thirds of the people in Samoa are children.

 

Paul Scheer [00:54:13] Also these guys do custom cars. That’s like getting those guys in, like that A&E show to fight a war guy with the big mustache.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:54:21] American chopper. American chopper.

 

Paul Scheer [00:54:24] Yeah, American Chopper.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:54:27] Imagine being like, I know who we need to go to. We only have 42 hours. We’re going to the American chopper guys. We’re going to get them and the Duck Dynasty guys, and we’re going to war. Oh, wait a minute. We’re sure going to die.

 

Adam Scott [00:54:40] Wait, we got to get MythBusters in on this. Also, none of the Samoan guys, as far as I could tell, were killed, right?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:54:49] Zero.

 

Adam Scott [00:54:49] They were fine.

 

Paul Scheer [00:54:50] There’s no blood in the movie. Like, that’s the interesting thing like that, right? This line of almost. I mean, the language, I guess makes it R. But it’s surprising.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:00] Is it R? I bet it’s PG 13.

 

Nicole Byer [00:55:02] PG 13.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:02] Just because there’s no blood, there’s there’s no nudity, there’s barely any swearing.

 

Nicole Byer [00:55:07] But there is real hot scene.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:09] There is?

 

Nicole Byer [00:55:10] Yes. Okay. So when homegirl fucking straddles The Rock.

 

Paul Scheer [00:55:14] It is PG 13.

 

Nicole Byer [00:55:15] That was all I needed. I was like, oh, I feel it.

 

Adam Scott [00:55:21] When she wrapped her legs around his face?

 

Nicole Byer [00:55:23] No, that wasn’t sexy. So like, he’s like.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:27] In the car.

 

Nicole Byer [00:55:28] Oh, yeah.

 

Nicole Byer [00:55:29] Then she like, swings in and she straddles him and they have that moment. I was like, yes.

 

Adam Scott [00:55:34] Yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:34] Also, because I will say that happens after she has taken the most vulnerable leap of faith, and he has caught her and pulled her in.

 

Nicole Byer [00:55:45] Yes.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:45] And she is wet.

 

Nicole Byer [00:55:48] Yes. She is sopping wet. He is rock hard.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:55:57] They both full on gush in the truck. It’s a straight up gush truck.

 

Nicole Byer [00:56:04] Yes.

 

Adam Scott [00:56:05] But then later on at sunset, they’re like, muah. Yeah.

 

Nicole Byer [00:56:13] It was like such. Such a sixth grade kiss.

 

Adam Scott [00:56:17] I got another one. She’s like nah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:56:20] He says, how about another one? And she turns him down.

 

Nicole Byer [00:56:24] And also the wind was blowing so hard like he’s bald. So you’re like, whatever. But she’s truly like. It’s blowing so hard. And then those aerial shots, they’re just zooming around them. I was like just isn’t sexy.

 

Paul Scheer [00:56:39] We got a drone let’s use it. I was thinking about The Rock’s truck choice because he does like to pick a big, I’m a big guy, I like a big truck. But it seems, not like the best vehicle to pick when you’re trying to escape an exploding town. Like, it seems like that thing is going to be a little bit slow moving, but yet he just drives through walls. Like in that fireball. He’s like no fuck it.

 

Adam Scott [00:57:02] That’s where it seemed like they were really paying the Fast and the furious debt. Right? Like getting all these old cool trucks and stuff.

 

Nicole Byer [00:57:09] Yeah, and then when they hit the little thing and then like, the engine zoom or whatever, I don’t know what it’s called. Yes, but that was like a throw to the original movies because that’s what they would do. And I was like, I cheered. Yeah. I was like, oh, it’s happening. So I was so excited.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:57:24] But like, keep in mind, so you’re telling me that the Hobbs Custom Hot Rod Builders are building into each car the ability to instantly hook up to a car either in front of or behind you, because your assumption is in the course of driving, you will need to centipede up with other with other Hobbs trucks.

 

Paul Scheer [00:57:56] By the way, they were right.

 

Adam Scott [00:57:59] Yeah. Paid off.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:58:00] And they and each one of them hit it each time. You got to get it right on the axles, clang boom. We’re in.

 

Paul Scheer [00:58:12] When you talk about when The Rock was holding on to the helicopter.

 

Nicole Byer [00:58:15] What a treat.

 

Paul Scheer [00:58:16] Right. That was impressive. Maybe again, slightly unrealistic. What I found, what I found to be very unrealistic, was once he got control again, he just kind of threw the, the cord to the the the the steel drum that turns was like, And then, then that caught it like that. That does not. You cannot just throw a cord at a cylindrical object and it catches.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:58:45] They treated having the helicopter on a chain on a winch as if it’s fishing. They treated it like, reel it in, but you gotta let it out a little. Give it a little space, then reel it in. When the chopper’s tired, you gotta reel it in. This is a machine.

 

Paul Scheer [00:59:09] Let’s let’s go to the audience.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:59:10] Really?

 

Paul Scheer [00:59:14] Let’s let’s see what you have to say about this movie. And I’m going to make you think about it, though, because what I’m going to have you do is you’re gonna say your name, but I need you to give an insult to either The Rock or Statham. So I want you to think of it. What was oh, oh, oh, I mean, look, you could do anything. They literally call The Rock a fat ass. You don’t have to be always clever. Yeah. All right. So. So you have your hand up. All right, here you go. Your name?

 

Audience Member [00:59:41] Tim.

 

Music [00:59:42] Tim, do you have an insult?

 

Audience Member [00:59:44] Yeah. It’s from the movie. Every time you speak, it’s like dragging my balls through broken glass.

 

Paul Scheer [00:59:49] Good.

 

Adam Scott [00:59:50] Solid.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [00:59:51] So much balls talking this movie, I assume, to keep it PG 13. Like, at one point, Statham gives Rock a pair of his pants and says the the. It might be stretched out in the crotch because of my balls.

 

Adam Scott [01:00:07] Yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:00:08] As if the brag in that instance is I’ve got big ball. Yeah, not a big dick. Yes, I got a tiny little dick. But you know what? I’ve got those big, fat, heavy balls. They’ll stretch your pants. These balls. Not the dick. The dick is just hiding in there. Those balls, though, will ruin denim.

 

Adam Scott [01:00:38] This giant nuts.

 

Nicole Byer [01:00:40] Maybe. Maybe he’s got a problem.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:00:45] Maybe he’s got elephantitus of the balls.

 

Nicole Byer [01:00:46] Yeah, you know, maybe he’s trying to raise awareness that, you know, big old balls is a danger.

 

Adam Scott [01:00:54] It’s weird because as to the two fake names he gave him were all about how small his dick was, but then all his brags are about his nuts.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:01:01] Yep.

 

Nicole Byer [01:01:03] Big balls aren’t great, right? I mean anytime I’ve encountered them, I’m like, oh, no.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:01:11] You would. I wouldn’t want to have big balls cluttering up my jeans.

 

Nicole Byer [01:01:16] Yeah, you gotta keep them jeans clean.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:01:19] Everything that’s hanging off of me has to be shoved in the pants. I don’t want big balls, I don’t think. What do you think that makes me feel like I’m more virile?

 

Nicole Byer [01:01:29] I would love to think the way you put pants on is like balls and dick out, and then you button them and shove them in.

 

Paul Scheer [01:01:39] Like a jack in the box.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:01:41] One button cram. Two button cram. Three button grip. Oh, can I get it? Can I get the last two buttons over the balls? Just cramming it in.

 

Paul Scheer [01:01:55] Tim. Your question. Okay.

 

Audience Member [01:01:57] Two two quick things. The first one is, did you guys notice when he put the pin back in the grenade? The grenade went (lowering sound).

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:02:04] Yes, yes.

 

Adam Scott [01:02:05] Oh, yeah. It was like a cyborg grenade or something.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:02:10] As if the grenade had an off sound.

 

Paul Scheer [01:02:13] She also wrote, I believe on the grenade, like bang. Which is. Who is that for? Because you would have tripped the wire and it would have gone off and you be dead. You wouldn’t be like Oh, shit. Grenade! Bang! Oh, fuck me like a fucking wily coyote moment there. What’s comment two?

 

Audience Member [01:02:31] Other thing is about your screensaver.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:02:33] I’m sorry. Does Tim get unlimited questions? No, I understand he’s a regular, but what happening?

 

Audience Member [01:02:40] Okay, so Paul is Hobbs, Adam is Shaw, Nicole is Vanessa, Jason is Idris. And then on the right is Fred in the movie?

 

Paul Scheer [01:02:50] Drop Dead Fred is the spirit creature. That. That’s it. He is the. He is their invisible friend. Fred is the invisible friend that was designed by the Ghost of Craig T Nelson.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:03:01] I will say this, I don’t see Fred in that, but they. You do. But that you do, Tim, is very interesting.

 

Paul Scheer [01:03:11] That was a great moment, too, when The Rock took off his Samoan war gear. And then, like, I got put back on my other shirt. Yeah.

 

Nicole Byer [01:03:19] But he also had pants fully under his Samoan dress. I was like, what? No. It was confusing.

 

Adam Scott [01:03:28] To put a t shirt on as he’s grabbing onto the back of a truck, going like 50 miles an hour.

 

Paul Scheer [01:03:36] All right, sir. Your name? Your favorite insult made up or your own? And your question?

 

Audience Member [01:03:41] Jordan and I was just really surprised The Rock fit in economy.

 

Paul Scheer [01:03:47] That was it. All right, well, you should be more surprised he fit in a McLaren. Because that car it technically.

 

Nicole Byer [01:03:54] Was that when the three of them were in there? The Rock says my favorite thing of the whole movie. He goes, what in the fresh turkey hell.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:04:03] That’s PG 13.

 

Nicole Byer [01:04:07] I guffawed and stamped my feet.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:04:09] It was a straight up product shot of McLaren’s logo. Yeah, that’s that’s.

 

Nicole Byer [01:04:15] They also showed I think Chevrolet on the old trucks. Yeah. I was like well okay. Yeah. We back to cars.

 

Paul Scheer [01:04:20] Well, Nate Kiley did some research for us. He says the car is a McLaren 720 S. The exterior width of that car is 81in total. So keep in mind the interior would be 8 to 12, inches smaller than that. So, let’s say generously, the interior of the car is 80in total. All right. Then The Rock’s chest measurement is 50in.

 

Adam Scott [01:04:45] What?

 

Paul Scheer [01:04:46] And. And this. And Statham’s chest measurement is 41in. So, based on the simple art of arithmetic, we can conclude that 91in of frigging man will not fit into an 80 inch car.

 

Music [01:05:03] But honestly, it explains why women are so small in movies so they can fit.

 

Paul Scheer [01:05:10] In that car. By the way, did you guys have any issue with that they were brothers, that they were brother and sister, even though they were 22 years apart?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:05:21] You know that I didn’t. I didn’t. I mean, I mean, sure, if you want to like, be like. But, like, I did not care. I thought they were very compelling and charismatic together. I didn’t mind it.

 

Paul Scheer [01:05:34] I loved it.

 

Adam Scott [01:05:34] They were great.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:05:35] I don’t need to be the police on, like. Well, how late does Helen Mirren fuck? Because that’s the indictment. The indictment is Helen Mirren fucked too old. If you want to say that their age difference is a problem? You’re criticizing Helen Mirren.

 

Music [01:05:55] Why have her in jail?

 

Adam Scott [01:05:55] We do have police for that. So you don’t need to do that.

 

Paul Scheer [01:05:59] Although I would have liked to see like a 22 year old guy, or maybe like a 30 year old guy playing with a six year old kid doing the Mick Jagger thing in the flashback. Just like it would be a crazy lopsided age range. When we were kids. Yeah. He’s smoking a cigaret with a pint of beer.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:06:18] Do you think if you walked around and asked people on the street, how old is Jason Statham? Like, how old would they say?

 

Paul Scheer [01:06:28] I think he is 37.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:06:30] Really? Jason Statham is at least 58 years old.

 

Adam Scott [01:06:36] I would I would say he’s at least 51.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:06:40] He’s for sure in his 50s.

 

Music [01:06:41] I think he’s ageless. I truly I don’t know, I look at him, I’m like, you aged well for a white man, you know? I think he looks okay.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:06:50] I’m not criticizing him. I think he looks great. I think the movie thinks they’re pulling off. Jason Statham is 38 years old. Jason Statham, I believe, is in his mid 50s.

 

Nicole Byer [01:07:02] Wait, is he though?

 

Paul Scheer [01:07:02] Anyone want to Google that right here? 52.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:07:07] Oh yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [01:07:08] Whoa.

 

Adam Scott [01:07:09] 52.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:07:10] And he looks great. But the discrepancy between him and Vanessa Kirby who is, I’m sure, in her 30s.

 

Paul Scheer [01:07:17] Yeah. They look great together. Yeah.

 

Adam Scott [01:07:18] Paul I’m still stuck on your like, your flashbacks to the Mick Jagger and like, using the Irishman technology to make Jason Statham 22 or like 32 with a little girl and pulling off jobs together.

 

Paul Scheer [01:07:34] I want that movie. Give me a prequel. Sir. Your name, your insult, your question?

 

Audience Member [01:07:38] My name is Rich. I actually made the Twitter poster for you, so thank you for that.

 

Adam Scott [01:07:43] Oh it’s awesome. This one?

 

Paul Scheer [01:07:45] He made a different one. He made a different one.

 

Adam Scott [01:07:47] Oh.

 

Audience Member [01:07:48] My insult is, I think that shit’s cutting off circulation to your brain.

 

Paul Scheer [01:07:52] That’s great.

 

Audience Member [01:07:53] And then.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:07:54] A classic Los Angeles accent.

 

Paul Scheer [01:08:00] The only follow this movie is that station wasn’t in L.A.. I mean, that’s what we knew.

 

Audience Member [01:08:05] Okay, so we have two accomplished lawmen who don’t like each other but have to work together. They’re set up by a bad guy and have to clear their names. There’s sexual tension with a sister. Is this Tango in Cash?

 

Adam Scott [01:08:17] Oh, yeah. Tango and cash came to mind many times during the movie. Like, say, have you seen tango?

 

Nicole Byer [01:08:22] Sure haven’t. Tango and Cash? It’s. Is it about like a fiery Latina and a black man?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:35] Holy shit.

 

Adam Scott [01:08:36] That would make so much more sense.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:38] That would be unreal.

 

Adam Scott [01:08:39] So much more sense.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:08:41] Salma Hayek and Chris Tucker in Tango and Cash.

 

Paul Scheer [01:08:49] Guys, I have a real I got a real brainbuster here. This is going to blow your mind. So tell him what you got. Tell me what you got.

 

Audience Member [01:08:58] I was told a rumor today by a friend in the industry, because David Leisure is using everybody that he’s worked with before. The rumor is that Keanu will be the voice in the next one.

 

Adam Scott [01:09:11] I mean, come on. The voice.

 

Paul Scheer [01:09:13] The voice of what?

 

Nicole Byer [01:09:15] The thing?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:09:17] Here’s what I’ll say. Here’s what I’ll say. Go ahead.

 

Adam Scott [01:09:20] I was just going to say my son had the theory at the end that the voice is the is, is, The Rock and his brother’s father. Right, right.

 

Paul Scheer [01:09:32] Isn’t that a good one?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:09:36] The voice says multiple times that the voice knows Shaw.

 

Paul Scheer [01:09:41] Right.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:09:42] Right.

 

Paul Scheer [01:09:42] Then he said, we’ll have a hell of a reunion to Hobbs, you know.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:09:47] Who’s that? What? It was not Shaw. Hang on, hold on, hold on. Who does the voice say it knows?

 

Audience Member [01:09:54] It’s. It was the voice saying to Hobbs. Or about Hobbs. We have a history. You probably don’t remember me, but we have a history.

 

Paul Scheer [01:10:02] And Idris Elba has a connection to Shaw.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:10:04] Yes. Does the voice say something about knowing Shaw? It’s like it’s.

 

Audience Member [01:10:11] Years ago, they had Idris Elba try to recruit him.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:10:13] No, no, I know that, but I meant the voice doesn’t. Okay, maybe I’m wrong.

 

Paul Scheer [01:10:19] But by the way, here’s a here’s what I wanted to say because.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:10:22] I heard I heard the theory that the voice is Han.

 

Adam Scott [01:10:27] Oh, shit.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:10:32] The voice is Han, and Hun was the first cyborg enhanced super. This is not my theory. I’m not originating this. This I heard somewhere else. So let me just. I’m just putting it out. I like that as an idea.

 

Adam Scott [01:10:51] A riot started at Largo on La Cienega boulevard.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:10:56] I also heard that the voice could be. And I don’t like this as much. Charlize Theron’s character.

 

Music [01:11:02] Booooo.

 

Paul Scheer [01:11:04] We are. Here’s what I’ll say. Charlize Theron is going to be in Fast nine.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:11:10] Okay, oh so then probably not.

 

Paul Scheer [01:11:14] But here is my theory. Combines two of them. What if Keanu Reeves is The Rock’s dad?

 

Adam Scott [01:11:24] I’m in.

 

Nicole Byer [01:11:24] I’m in. Truly. No questions. Oh, yeah. I love it. And I hope they dress him like a traditional Samoyed warrior, you know? Like, just fully do it.

 

Paul Scheer [01:11:38] All right, here you go, maam.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:11:39] She’s trying to grab that mic, Paul.

 

Paul Scheer [01:11:41] Yeah, I know. Maam. Your name, your insult, your question.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:11:44] Look at her grabbing right at it.

 

Audience Member [01:11:47] My name is Chelsea. My insult is I think The Rock has bigger tits than me.

 

Paul Scheer [01:11:52] Oh, I like that. That’s a good, that’s an original insult.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:11:54] Who are you insulting?

 

Paul Scheer [01:11:56] She’s insulting the. No, no, you she she made up the insult. You’re the first person who did it.

 

Nicole Byer [01:12:04] She’s insulting The Rock cause she’s got big old titties.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:12:07] I see.

 

Nicole Byer [01:12:08] And he’s not supposed to have titties.

 

Paul Scheer [01:12:11] So, like, let’s sell it, though. Selling, like, you just kind of ran by, like, pretend The Rock is right here. And sell it.

 

Nicole Byer [01:12:18] Yeah, pretend I’m The Rock.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:12:19] She wants that mic.

 

Audience Member [01:12:25] The Rock, you’ve got bigger tits than me.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:12:27] Boom!

 

Paul Scheer [01:12:30] And I like that you called him The Rock. All right, now your question.

 

Audience Member [01:12:34] My question is, when the movie starts, we see Hattie, and she’s this, like, cool lady policeman. And I was like, oh, nice. Like, okay, this diversity on the squad. And then literally for the rest of the movie, we never see any other female like minion, scientist. Like.

 

Paul Scheer [01:12:55] What about the lingerie girls?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:12:57] There’s a whole Russian lingerie mercenary team.

 

Audience Member [01:13:02] Their whole thing. They’re just like, oh, a Victoria’s Secret house.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:13:05] Yes, but they’re liberating Russia.

 

Audience Member [01:13:09] Where? Where are the other, like, combat operatives alongside Hattie? Is she the one?

 

Paul Scheer [01:13:15] This is why. This is why this is going to be a great franchise. They’re going to learn first about teamwork, then that women can do cool stuff. Then like they’re slowly evolving gentlemen.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:13:26] Here’s what I will say, because I do think many times they could have sidelined or marginalized Vanessa Kirby. Right? Like, oh, you’ve got to do the machine. So go over there now. But they just instead are like, strap it to your back, keep fighting. Yeah. You’re great. The machine’s on your back. You still go through a helicopter crash. Like they do. She is, I will say, in my opinion, a total fucking badass in that movie.

 

[01:13:54] She gets to fucking fight The Rock.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:13:57] Even when she’s got, like, the virus in her system. Even when she’s like, like the thing strapped to her back, she’s still kicking ass.

 

Adam Scott [01:14:05] Yeah, it was the three of them I did think I thought was a missed opportunity. As the as we’re getting closer to the 72 hours, she should have started getting sick.

 

Paul Scheer [01:14:15] Yes.

 

Adam Scott [01:14:16] And then saved at the last second.

 

Paul Scheer [01:14:18] Yeah. She doesn’t ever appear weak at all because the capsule should be deteriorating. But I will say that when she fights The Rock, which is a great sequence, The Rock is sort of like I feel like the attitude is like… Girls. Like all right, through a cement block at my head, lady like. And then like, he’s like, all right, you got me. Like, it’s a very like. He kept on charging her as if, like, they are unheard of. They. It’s amazing. Obviously we had an opinion about this movie. There are people out there with actually, honestly, the same exact opinion as us. But why not hear some of those? It is now time for second opinions.

 

Audience Member [01:15:00] Just saw a film that was second to none. Gonna give him my second opinion. Where I can tell all these jerks how I feel online. Statham Angelino. He owns my soul. What movie is better? I don’t know, Idris Elba and The Rock a girl could cry. Woah, amazon stars five.

 

Nicole Byer [01:15:40] She went nu huh.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:15:48] Paul back off. She’s not done. You got this.

 

Nicole Byer [01:15:57] Bam bam bam. Take it. Dead. And I gave it five. Woah. Amazon stars.

 

Paul Scheer [01:16:26] Give up for Stacey! Oh, yeah. All right. That is a talented crew of second opinions.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:16:34] What is it, though?

 

Adam Scott [01:16:37] That was incredible.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:16:38] Was it though?

 

Nicole Byer [01:16:39] I loved it. I loved it when she said I’m not done. And then continued.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:16:47] And she was so close to done. Yeah. It wasn’t like there was a lot more. There was just a tiny bit more.

 

Paul Scheer [01:16:54] And the audience was so behind it that you could have just got. Just gotten off right there.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:17:00] Get out while the getting good.

 

Adam Scott [01:17:02] It was all great.

 

Nicole Byer [01:17:03] I loved it.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:17:04] Was it?

 

Adam Scott [01:17:04] Yes.

 

Paul Scheer [01:17:07] Those are some amazing second opinions. We picked one, and the rest will be, sent to the back of the episode you can listen to. Oh, no. No big deal. You can still hear them at the end of the episode, though. All right.

 

Nicole Byer [01:17:22] Sent to the back of the episode.

 

Paul Scheer [01:17:25] Get to the back of the episode.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:17:26] You know what? The the songs can ride anywhere in the episode they’d like to.

 

Paul Scheer [01:17:34] There are four reviews total. Four reviews. So this is it. Nate, had an easy week this week. So there are four reviews. They’re they’re pretty much all about five stars.

 

Adam Scott [01:17:47] On Amazon?

 

Paul Scheer [01:17:48] On Amazon. Yeah. So this is.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:17:50] Dot com.

 

Paul Scheer [01:17:51] Yes.

 

Adam Scott [01:17:51] Oh Amazon.com.

 

Paul Scheer [01:17:52] This one.

 

Nicole Byer [01:17:53] oh and not Amazon dot net?

 

Paul Scheer [01:17:57] This one. We’ll start off with Kyle Hurley. The title of the review is “Cool. Cool.” And and he writes this, “Just about enough humor, but just a bit too long. Not necessarily a good idea, but it works. Five stars.” But what I love is is a just about enough humor, just about enough, but also just a bit too long. So how? That’s a delicate balance he’s running. And then. Okay, this is the guy this is from Crispy. “Fairly good dialog and banter between the two. Excellent. Both of them can be considered dialog, CGI, violence and action. Great looking tough girl. All, by the way, all in caps. Everything here is in caps. The blonde from Mission Impossible, and also Shaw’s mom. A lot of humor, good villain, filling out the role nicely. Only flaw? Idris is trying to save the planet. Hobbs and Shaw thwart him, similar to the Avengers, and Thanos is trying to save the planet from overpopulation. Just goes to show how shortsighted the good guys really are. They’re tough, but not brainy. But. Oh, well. Live it up while you can, boys. Our planet will be dead in 50 years. Five stars.”

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:19:42] That review is from a hashtag thanos was right point of view.

 

Paul Scheer [01:19:47] Now it’s Idris is right.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:19:48] Wow.

 

Paul Scheer [01:19:49] There it is. Well, just for perspective, this movie, I think it is PG 13, there’s no taglines listed, which is a really an interesting thing. The budget of this movie, 200 million opening weekend, 60, 60 million on opening weekend. And, so far, and this may not even be updated. This is the research on 810. The worldwide gross is $247 million. And it’s still opening up everywhere right now. That’s I mean, that’s all the facts I got because this just came out.

 

Adam Scott [01:20:26] How did how did it do critically like Rotten Tomatoes?

 

Paul Scheer [01:20:29] Oh, yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:20:30] 100%.

 

Paul Scheer [01:20:32] 89%.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:20:35] Wow. Yeah, I’m surprised by that.

 

Nicole Byer [01:20:38] I’m not. It’s so much fun.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:20:41] Oh, I mean, I only mean that because I agree. I think it’s so much fun. I’m surprised that the critical reception agrees with us.

 

Adam Scott [01:20:48] Yeah.

 

Paul Scheer [01:20:49] They’re right.

 

Nicole Byer [01:20:50] Fair.

 

Paul Scheer [01:20:52] Well, this has been great. Any any. Well, I mean, I think. We all agree.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:20:56] There’s one thing I do want to mention. Yeah. Which is only that none of us have yet mentioned the greatest line in the episode, which is Idris Elba saying, Genocide. Schmenocide.

 

Adam Scott [01:21:07] Yeah. Right at the top of the movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:21:10] As if to brush off the severity of their plan being worldwide genocide.

 

Paul Scheer [01:21:18] But yet when Idris Elba says it, it has a gravitas to it. That doesn’t sound. Again, this movie does a great job of saying insane things so stone face.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:21:28] Yeah, this movie is a.

 

Paul Scheer [01:21:30] Genocide Schmenocide. Yeah. Cool. Yeah, man.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:21:32] This movie is is a triumph of casting because all of these people are selling nonsense.

 

Adam Scott [01:21:40] Yeah.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:21:41] And I am buying.

 

Adam Scott [01:21:43] Yeah, yeah, 100%. There was not a moment where I was like, no, come on. No, I was there.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:21:52] Yes.

 

Paul Scheer [01:21:54] Yeah. The, it really it really does. Like, it is everything that you would want to see and it seems like everyone who’s in it is legitimately happy to be there. Like, can you believe it? Like, I feel like I’m a fan. I get to be in this movie now and say crazy shit.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:22:12] Can I ask you a question? Do you think when they go to Samoa and they’re doing the whole thing and then they’re like, bad guys are coming, we gotta get prepared to go to the war. And and they’re like, do you have guns? And he’s like, yeah, we’ve got guns. And he opens the cabinet and there’s no guns. And mom has replaced all the guns with traditional like, war implements. Is this meant to be like an anti-gun message, like baked into this weird movie?

 

Adam Scott [01:22:39] Hmhm little bit I that’s how I take it.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:22:42] Is this movie trying to take a stance that is like, and not guns always?

 

Paul Scheer [01:22:48] I mean, it’s like maybe it’s like chains and weapons, like chains and like old school wooden weapons are really the way to go because they’re like, we don’t need weapons. We just need like, they don’t. They say, like, we just need bodies or.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:23:01] Well, their whole thing is like.

 

Paul Scheer [01:23:03] Heart.

 

Adam Scott [01:23:03] Yeah, that’s right.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:23:05] Hearts?

 

Adam Scott [01:23:06] We got a lot of that or something.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:23:09] Yeah that was interesting that like the big final fight took guns out of the equation almost completely.

 

Paul Scheer [01:23:15] Yeah. Because they, they, they, they took the chips out of all their electric guns.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:23:19] Because everybody’s a hacker.

 

Adam Scott [01:23:21] They hacked the guns.

 

Nicole Byer [01:23:22] I think they did it because who wants to see people just shooting? I want to see them run up against each other and like slam into them.

 

Paul Scheer [01:23:29] I mean, when The Rock took like that wooden like mallet, I’m like.

 

Nicole Byer [01:23:36] What is it called, a hammer, a judge hammer?

 

Paul Scheer [01:23:38] A gavel.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:23:39] Oh, yeah. Oh, he’s just out here. Judge Judying motherfuckers.

 

Paul Scheer [01:23:44] Guilty.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:23:47] Kablam! Kaboom! I find you in contempt.

 

Paul Scheer [01:23:51] That son of a bitch is guilty.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:23:54] I’ll allow it, counselor.

 

Adam Scott [01:23:57] You know what? My only quibble with the with the movie was, I was wondering, and it’s fine. It’s a Fast and furious movie, but I was wondering if this. Maybe after this one, the the sequence or the set piece that starts in the abandoned warehouse where they talk and decide decided we need to fight that. Then the chase scene goes out into the abandoned, burned out industrial park. I wonder if we need to ever see that again, because it seems like every single, and not just Fast and Furious, but every single action movie, there is something that will take place in the abandoned warehouse.

 

Paul Scheer [01:24:38] Right. It’s like it’s the abandoned factory that they can just drive through walls and the silos are coming down. I agree that that could be done. My question about the franchise in general is he’s a robot. Where do they go? Like who is more. Based on the location. We need like, a villain. Like a ghost?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:25:02] This motherfucker gets it.

 

Paul Scheer [01:25:09] Ghostbusters. Just like Transformers. Yeah. Ghostbusters. Jason Reitman we’ll fucking see you.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:25:15] Here’s the deal. The ghost of Han is coming for these fuckers.

 

Paul Scheer [01:25:21] And again, I want to be clear. No justice is needed for Han, he’s a straight up cold blooded killer. Many children died in Brazil because of his recklessness. With that fucking safe plan, anyway. Anyway. Adam, what do you. What do you got going on?

 

Adam Scott [01:25:39] Oh, man. You know what? Not much, but I am just so glad to be here and so glad that this movie came out. I feel like this is from me personally, the most highly anticipated of the Fast and Furious.

 

Paul Scheer [01:25:55] Absolutely.

 

Adam Scott [01:25:56] I remember you guys being the ones to tell me they, I think at a recording of an episode that they were going to make a Hobbs and Shaw spin off, and I thought you were joking because it sounded way too good to be true. So this was just a 100% pleasure. What a great movie.

 

Paul Scheer [01:26:14] And, Nicole, what about you? What do you got going on?

 

Music [01:26:17] Oh, boy. Well, I have too many podcasts. Why won’t you date me? Best friends. I have a podcast where I recap 90 Day Fiance because it’s the funniest show.

 

Paul Scheer [01:26:28] That’s my favorite thing. I didn’t know you do this. I love this show.

 

Nicole Byer [01:26:31] 90 Day Bae. It’s on Patreon. $5 a month. But, it’s the best show.

 

Paul Scheer [01:26:36] Oh, it’s so good.

 

Nicole Byer [01:26:39] Are you, caught up?

 

Paul Scheer [01:26:40] I’m. No. I’m a little behind, because.

 

Nicole Byer [01:26:42] There’s this woman catfishing this man. She only sends him filtered pics and she’s like, I don’t know what he’s going to do when he sees me. I’m like, bitch, I don’t know. Be mad. It’s great. You guys, if you’re not watching. It is. You can’t write it in a writers room, like at one. Okay. So.

 

Paul Scheer [01:27:03] I’m following the majority of them on Instagram.

 

Nicole Byer [01:27:06] Do you? Did you follow Coltie and Lawrence’s drama?

 

Paul Scheer [01:27:09] Yeah.

 

Nicole Byer [01:27:09] I mean, oh my God. They had a divorce party that my co-host Marci went to.

 

Paul Scheer [01:27:20] Divorce party for these two. Ugh.

 

Nicole Byer [01:27:22] So if you want to hear me talk about that.

 

Paul Scheer [01:27:24] I want to watch that Irishman who’s, like, very upset with, like, his wife calling him Isaac, you don’t go out without me.

 

Nicole Byer [01:27:30] Don’t go out with me.

 

Paul Scheer [01:27:31] I’m sorry, Nicole and I can do this coversation off air. Jason, what do you I tell people about besides our tour in September, which there’s still tickets for HDTGMInfo.com. We’re in Seattle. Portland. Chicago.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:27:46] Toronto.

 

Paul Scheer [01:27:46] Toronto. And there’s one other place.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:27:49] San Francisco.

 

Paul Scheer [01:27:50] Berkeley.

 

Nicole Byer [01:27:51] Oh, those are good cities.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:27:52] I mean, listen, I was on, this will come out this week. Yeah. So I was on Legion two weeks ago.

 

Paul Scheer [01:27:58] Rap battle. Jason.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:28:00] Yes. If you want to see me in a rap battle with Jemaine Clement. Legion. Legion two weeks ago. Let’s see. And then also John Wick chapter three Parabellum.

 

Adam Scott [01:28:14] I still haven’t seen John Wick three and I can’t believe it.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:28:18] It’s great. I’m in that movie.

 

Adam Scott [01:28:19] I know.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:28:20] It is. It’s really weird.

 

Adam Scott [01:28:21] I really want to see that movie.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:28:23] Yeah. And then and then please come and see us on tour. Yeah. Please buy the tour merch that is individualized for each location on the tour.

 

Paul Scheer [01:28:32] It’s been really fun. We’re making shirts for every show.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:28:36] Inside jokes, t shirts that are legit inside jokes.

 

Paul Scheer [01:28:40] When you look at our tour shirts, they make no sense.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:28:44] Oh, and I will say this. If you’re a casual listener to this show, I would urge you to, if you have not already, listen to the Drop Dead Fred episode. It is 1 or 2 back in the feed, and it is, I think, quite possibly the best and the worst episode of the show.

 

Paul Scheer [01:29:05] Everything is fine between us. But I will tell you this much.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:29:08] But I will say June is not here.

 

Paul Scheer [01:29:12] I just want you to know that their sister had a baby and she’s visiting her sister, and that’s where she is.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:29:17] So she’s out of town with family. You’re saying June is out of town with family? But everything’s cool?

 

Paul Scheer [01:29:24] Yeah. All right, let’s, roll. We’ll wrap this up. But also. If you have listened to that episode, check out our mini episode where people have written songs in tribute to that episode, and we actually play some of the deleted scenes from that episode in the mini episode as well.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:29:44] And having had a couple of weeks now to, a month almost to process it and really think about it, if you continue to represent team sanity, you’re a fucking moron.

 

Paul Scheer [01:30:02] Where is my team sanity?

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:30:03] Team Fred!

 

Paul Scheer [01:30:13] Team Sanity! All right. So.

 

Adam Scott [01:30:16] Wow. I really need to listen to this episode.

 

Nicole Byer [01:30:20] Truly.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:30:21] I love people are coming up to me in public and going, hey, man, team Fred all the way.

 

Paul Scheer [01:30:25] And for me, team sanity. It’s been great. And I just want to clarify one thing, because on the boards and all this shit, I’m not against creativity. I’m not against imagination. I just want a better version of the movie that we saw. I like everything they said.

 

Jason Mantzoukas [01:30:43] No, you said you loved the mom.

 

Paul Scheer [01:30:46] Yes. She’s a single mom. She clean shit off the floor and doesn’t even go why did you put shit on the floor? She rather get help. The reason why she’s better and the why she finds herself is the mom gave her the pills. Anyway, I wrote a book called Cosmic Ghost Rider. It’s a marvel book. The final book just came out this week.

Paul Scheer [01:32:41] Here we go. Now it’s time for second opinions.

 

Audience Member [01:32:46] This move is brilliant. This move is pure. This film is timeless. Of that, I’m sure. The Shaws kick ass. Hobbs wears really tight shirts. It’s time for second opinions. But let me say one thing first. Bald is beautiful. It’s beautiful. Bald, beautiful. It’s true. Hobbs and Shaw. Tyrese and Diesel too. I sing this song for you. I give you all five star reviews.

 

Paul Scheer [01:33:34] Give it up!. There you go. Stand right there. Now it’s time for second opinions.

 

Audience Member [01:33:42] I said this ain’t one star. This ain’t two stars. This the whole enchilada. And some five yards. I got Hobbs and Shaw. It’s the best fucking movie that I ever saw. Yeah. Yeah. I said I just gave it five stars. I just gave it five stars. This movie had The Rock. If I gave it four, it would feel wrong. I say this movie so tight. And they do it all right. And I could watch it all motherfucking night. I just gave it five stars.

 

Paul Scheer [01:34:21] Give it up for Phil. Here we go. Now it’s time for second opinions.

 

Audience Member [01:34:33] Oh, life has moves. Some of them good and some are not good. The lengths that people go to to praise these films online. Oh, no. They gave five stars to drop dead Fred. That’s them in the corner. That’s them with the keyboard giving second opinions.

 

Paul Scheer [01:35:11] Give it up for Ryan!
