Joe it's funny, there's a hilarious thing that I don't know if you know if I should
share this, but the final scene, they don't even kiss, is CGI,
I swear to God son >> How's that CGI?
>> I'm there I'm watching the wedding and I see them go in for the kiss and
their faces stopped like this far, and I'm like,
I wonder how they're gonna play that in the movie.
They're probably just gonna cut right there.
But the movie, you could see their faces come close, and
then you can see their faces morph a little bit into a fake kiss.
>> So that's a bold accusation being made right there about the recent film
You People.
So, Jonah Hill, Lauren London, this couple, they share a kiss, or do they?
Well, here is footage from the actual movie.
Let's decide for ourselves.
Yeah, so, look, I'm getting that footage second hand,
it is not impossible that it has been manipulated.
I didn't like literally go to the theater to record it or
anything, but it seems like that accusation is true.
It seems like that was actually CGI, will, see if the if the company that produced
it or whatever puts out a statement, but for now it does look a little bit weird,
and I feel like we need to get into a conversation.
For context, it's a romantic comedy, follows Ezra, who's Jonah Hill, and
Amira, whose Lauren London, as they navigate an interracial relationship and
familial culture clashes and societal expectations that come with it.
Was released on Netflix last month to largely negative reviews,
including criticism that the romantic leads had no on-screen chemistry.
So, I don't think much of the reaction had anything to do with the CGI or whatever.
But if you already believed that they didn't have great chemistry as a couple,
the idea that they CGI to the kiss can lead to all sorts of speculation about why
that might be, Jr what do you think about it?
>> Did you, sorry, I was looking up, cuz I saw the movie, and
I was looking to see if there was any discussions about this.
So you were saying that that there was a bit of issues with them being intimately
in the movie.
Did you see it?
>> No, I didn't see the movie.
People are saying that they didn't think that they were acting like a couple that
was actually in love.
That seems to be one of critisms. >> Yeah, that was the big thing.
Wife and I were watching that.
And we were noticing some of that stuff.
And there was, their first intimate scene, there was any kissing scene.
Any of the lovey dovey scenes that you would see naturally with a couple,
they all had that this, I'm totally not surprised that this was said as a CGI
kiss, because I was thinking that.
I said they never kissed this whole movie and I wonder to what degree it's
based off of actress Lauren London and she's with Nipsey Hustle.
And the whole thing about how she's very private and it seems like she's never
gonna find anyone else, and all that, just all that around her.
And I was like this is in a romantic type of setting with Jonah Hill, which seems
like at some aspects of this movie, we're very self-serving type of character.
Like Adam Sandler does in his movies,
he lives out his fantasies in these characters.
I think, this is my thought.
>> Yeah.
>> And it seemed there wasn't a lot of like desire to have a lot of kissing
scenes between the two of them.
And I don't know whose decision that was,
if it was something to have to do with the actress or actor that's involved in it.
But, if you guys remember whoever saw it, there was a scene where they have like
a tent in the bed and then they get close, and the last thing you see is they're
about to hook up is her just moving towards him, never, just her shot not him.
And I was like, yo, I was almost actually expecting that,
cuz I already saw the sign.
So I'm totally not surprised that this is the case.
>> Yeah, I don't know, again, it could not be that, but
it's just I don't know like we have so much, we have AI generation.
We have the AI chatbots, we have all this stuff, and obviously a lot of movies,
like the Marvel movies are so much CGI.
The reason it matters to me, cuz I see like some people are like, who cares?
Well, first of all just as a general policy, if it's on the show, I care,
that this is a show, I choose what to talk about.
Obviously I'm interested in it, that's how this works.
But anyway I find it especially interesting because, of all of the things
that would need to be replaced by CGI a kiss seems like a pretty benign thing.
Now I get that there's COVID or whatever, except even if this was replaced by CGI,
your face was still super close to each other.
So that doesn't seem like a good explanation.
I just, in a time when movies are fairly artificial to begin with, and
I feel like inevitably actors gonna be replaced by AI characters,
that checking in like 20 years.
I think it's gonna be a thing.
It just seems super weird.
I don't know why it bothers me more than like Thor didn't
actually hit that person with mill near, that was CGI.
We're fine with that.
Why would it be weirder that's a kiss?
It just does seem like it is.
Anyway- >> Why is it though?
It's a good thought- >> I don't know.
>> To put to practice for people who watch this stuff.
Do we need to see it?
Why do we need to see it when we know they're acting?
We know they're not actually together, just so we can speculate, who knows?
It's a good thought.
