[1:32] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Did he leave the recording?
[1:33] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Yeah, he would be so much more meaningful.
[1:43] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Now, listen, this is, um, yeah, and of course he's going to mess up
[1:52] \[SPEAKER_02\]: He actually left.
[1:53] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I realize I realize you can't dramatically leave and just come back as quick as I thought you could.
[1:59] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Well, the other thing about it is that nobody else, we had to inform the listener that you left because otherwise they don't just think.
[2:05] \[SPEAKER_00\]: They felt it right.
[2:06] \[SPEAKER_00\]: They knew they knew this.
[2:08] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Like, wow, this is dramatic exit.
[2:10] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Now, uh, look, uh, you guys know what?

[3:20] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I didn't accidentally leave.
[3:24] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I left what a passion.
[3:25] \[SPEAKER_00\]: If this was on a flip phone, I
[3:33] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Before we talk about the movie, I just gotta remind I saw this trailer for a new Robert Pattinson and Zendaya movie.
[3:42] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Oh, the new Zendaya movie.

[4:09] \[SPEAKER_04\]: They had this like fun premise of Zendir.
[4:14] \[SPEAKER_04\]: You know, during this discussion of what's the worst thing you ever done says something.
[4:17] \[SPEAKER_04\]: We don't know what it is, but it's so bad.
[4:20] \[SPEAKER_04\]: It starts to like,
[4:23] \[SPEAKER_04\]: turn the relationship and there's drama that is happening because I've played that game.
[4:29] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Why would you play that game?
[4:30] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I agree.
[4:30] \[SPEAKER_04\]: I don't know if I would ever play that game.
[4:34] \[SPEAKER_02\]: No, you got to put it out there.
[4:37] \[SPEAKER_02\]: You got to put it out there.
[4:39] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I don't play through it in May.
[4:41] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I play.
[4:42] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I do dare every time I'll do truth.
[4:44] \[SPEAKER_00\]: never did you.
[4:45] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah.
[4:46] \[SPEAKER_02\]: So you just like to be in a in a in a relationship allies.
[4:50] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You know, you tell the partner, I don't need to tell the partner in another couple, you already when you want to double date, you can be in with the other couple of break.
[4:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Okay, now you ain't going judge Zays any like this.
[5:01] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Look, all I know is, the last time I saw her that theater was challengers, that movie was amazing.
[5:08] \[SPEAKER_04\]: And now her seemed up with Robert Pattinson, who's like a critical darling.
[5:13] \[SPEAKER_04\]: You know, it feels like this is a movie that's definitely going to be talked about.
[5:16] \[SPEAKER_04\]: A movie definitely want to see when it comes out.
[5:18] \[SPEAKER_04\]: I think it comes out April 3rd.
[5:20] \[SPEAKER_04\]: And you can watch the trailer now.
[5:24] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Like, it's a really cool trailer.
[5:26] \[SPEAKER_04\]: How do I know what she did?
[5:27] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Doesn't matter what you did.
[5:28] \[SPEAKER_02\]: I need to know what she did.
[5:29] \[SPEAKER_02\]: I need to know.
[5:30] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Also at the end of the trailer, can I say one thing at the end of the trailer?
[5:34] \[SPEAKER_00\]: She holds up a knife, the rubber pad is in it's supposed to be scary and my heart goes oh, that's hot Is that my my my toxic if I don't know what she did?
[5:44] \[SPEAKER_02\]: I feel like I don't know what she did But I feel like she would have said what she did and you would have been like, okay I feel like you would have been into it.
[5:52] \[SPEAKER_02\]: I would have like you wouldn't have had the same drama like you know what?
[5:55] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I'd have been like Zazay saying that's how to say same

[6:22] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Slash Lobo.
[6:23] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Lobos.
[6:26] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Why he was Aquaman makes no sense.
[6:30] \[SPEAKER_02\]: It's so funny to me how soon he is another major character.
[6:34] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Did you hurt?
[6:35] \[SPEAKER_00\]: He said the moment James gun got it, he texted him.
[6:38] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Like he was like, lowbow baby, which yeah.

[6:45] \[SPEAKER_02\]: And he was like, he was going to do.
[6:48] \[SPEAKER_02\]: he knew he knew the right way that's so sad.
[6:50] \[SPEAKER_02\]: I liked that first one.
[6:52] \[SPEAKER_04\]: I feel like the first Aquaman did really well.
[6:54] \[SPEAKER_00\]: People really liked that.
[6:55] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I did.
[6:55] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's the second one, boy.
[6:56] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Ooh, my love.

[7:03] \[SPEAKER_04\]: So you know.
[7:05] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Yeah, but we're not here to talk about DC.
[7:07] \[SPEAKER_04\]: We're here to talk about the wrecking crew, which is a movie that is streaming on Amazon Prime right now.
[7:15] \[SPEAKER_04\]: If you'd like to watch it, this film, let's see.
[7:20] \[SPEAKER_04\]: What do we got here on Rods?
[7:22] \[SPEAKER_04\]: What do you guys think?
[7:23] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Rods have made

[7:36] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Is this 74?
[7:38] \[SPEAKER_04\]: It's 75.
[7:40] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Oh, no, you were going to do it.
[7:41] \[SPEAKER_04\]: 10% at all.
[7:42] \[SPEAKER_04\]: I generally didn't.
[7:43] \[SPEAKER_04\]: And by prices right rules, you win.
[7:46] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Damn.
[7:47] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Now popcorn meter is 69%.
[7:52] \[SPEAKER_02\]: 69.
[7:52] \[SPEAKER_02\]: So, so if we was doing it for audience, then not, then not, you know, then I got that one.
[7:57] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Then you got it.
[7:59] \[SPEAKER_02\]: I got the audience.
[8:00] \[SPEAKER_02\]: You know, yeah, also by the same exact percentage.
[8:04] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Each of us was, I know, right?
[8:07] \[SPEAKER_02\]: We almost guessed the exact tomato meters.
[8:10] \[SPEAKER_02\]: That's wild.
[8:12] \[SPEAKER_04\]: This movie.
[8:15] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Uh, what else to say about it?
[8:18] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Yeah, I don't know.
[8:18] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Director Angel Manuel Soto.
[8:23] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Yeah, he's awesome.
[8:23] \[SPEAKER_01\]: That was a really low, right?
[8:25] \[SPEAKER_01\]: The Lilo isn't it.
[8:28] \[SPEAKER_01\]: What?
[8:28] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Lilo and Stit from the live action Lilo and Stitch?
[8:32] \[SPEAKER_01\]: That was hard, right?
[8:33] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Oh, was that lead player?
[8:35] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, she was in a show.
[8:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: She's in a quick scene at the table.
[8:39] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's like, it's like, it's like, the little girl, like, God, yes.
[8:42] \[SPEAKER_02\]: How did you catch that?
[8:44] \[SPEAKER_04\]: I, it was, she was like, barely in the move.
[8:46] \[SPEAKER_02\]: Yeah, it was actually, it was second scene that I recognized her though.
[8:49] \[SPEAKER_02\]: I didn't really notice her in one.
[8:52] \[SPEAKER_02\]: She's in like three scenes.
[8:54] \[SPEAKER_02\]: You know that, over a billion dollars, right?
[8:57] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yep, over a billion.
[8:59] \[SPEAKER_01\]: Yeah, it made a bunch of pretty sure.
[9:03] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Yeah, it did, it was one of the biggest, yeah.
[9:06] \[SPEAKER_04\]: It was like one of the biggest girls in films of 20, 25.
[9:09] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Hell yeah.
[9:11] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Yeah, 1.0, $3 billion.
[9:15] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Jeez.
[9:15] \[SPEAKER_04\]: On a $100 million budget.
[9:17] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, so interesting, because that guy got that movie from only directing one movie prior.
[9:21] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I don't think that movie was beautiful.
[9:23] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It was on my sale, Marcel to show, which I've never still never saw.
[9:28] \[SPEAKER_00\]: The director of, I'm Leela Westich.
[9:30] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Okay, it was, I was like, the director of this movie directed Blue Beetle.
[9:36] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I liked Blue Beetle.
[9:37] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, I think, yeah.
[9:38] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Oh, yeah.
[9:39] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I think we like it.
[9:41] \[SPEAKER_00\]: We had seen it before, but like, we've seen everything by now, you know.
[9:46] \[SPEAKER_02\]: That was almost what I liked about Blue Beetle.
[9:48] \[SPEAKER_02\]: It was like, oh, you're doing like a, we already talked about Blue Beetle.
[9:51] \[SPEAKER_02\]: We can't talk about it again.
[9:52] \[UNKNOWN\]: Yeah.
[9:55] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Yeah, we're going to talk about the wrecking crew.
[9:57] \[SPEAKER_04\]: And I'm trying to think of anything else to say before we get into initial thought, because that's our cue to transition from the teaser to this.
[10:08] \[SPEAKER_04\]: Is there anything else we could tease about this movie before we?
[10:11] \[SPEAKER_00\]: This feels like a throwback to action movies of yesterday year.
[10:15] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes, that was impressive.
[10:18] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Like if you ever seen movies like Tango and Cash,
[10:24] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's what this, but this feels like a movie that if you were a dad in the 90s, you would have went to the theaters and been front row, which a pop line, like that's what this movie feels like.
[10:34] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yes, I like that.
[10:35] \[SPEAKER_02\]: I like 100%.
[10:51] \[SPEAKER_01\]: All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
