Nobody knows much about
this Jordan Peele film.
Oh yeah.
And I'm very excited.
Yeah.
And I also love that I don't know what's happening and
that very little has been said.
And to me that feels,
and it's such a,
it's a compliment
but Jordan Peele's really good at it.
I think JJ Abrams is really good at,
they almost have like an old fashioned sense.
Yeah.
It's Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Baily like
you're wait,
you're gonna,
we got something for you
but you have to come into the tent when the show happens
and then you'll be blown away.
And we have a culture that gives away way too much
before things happen now.
Yes. I can't tell you,
my kids always wanna watch the trailer
to a film before they watch the film.
Yes.
And they have them on Netflix and say,
let's watch the trailer.
Yes.
And they basically wanna watch,
they wanna know what Citizen Kane is about
and they wanna know
what Rosebud is before we watch the movie.
Yeah.
Like, no,
no, just experience it.
But it's culturally.
My five year old does that already.
Really? He's like,
"Let me watch the trailer."
I'm like what are you talking about?
It's good.
Just trust me.
This is a movie I'm in.
Yeah, what are you doing?
I was nominated for an Oscar for this film.
Let's check out the trailer.
Let me see the trailer.
Yeah.
But it is,
it's crazy.
It really is.
Yeah, I agree with all of that.
Like, there's something about
the way like trailers
and all these things like pull us out of like experiencing
what is happening right in front of you.
And I do respect deeply what Jordan's doing,
which is like bringing it back to like,
remember when we were like there
and paying attention at the same time
and like experiencing something together?
I really think that was like the draw
of "Top Gun" for me.
Like I like,
I, people the people went bonkers for that.
You can you know,
come up with a bunch of like conclusions
about what that was.
But like for me,
it was just like oh I forgot.
We can all show up here.
Know nothing about how this is gonna go.
And just communally watch this
and like be present with all of,
with each other on this ride.
Yeah, I thought
that was really one thing I wasn't expecting was
at the top of the movie.
Wait, don't spoil any of this.
This isn't a spoiler. Okay.
It's not a spoiler.
I have a small child.
So I can't get out to a movie like
what you guys are talking about.
I'm not gonna ruin the movie.
Okay.
I'm not gonna ruin the movie.
I don't like that look in your eyes.
I know I don't believe you.
You have a look on your face.
I was shocked that he doesn't fly a plane at all.
Not one time.
Not once.
Yeah.
It opens with him in a hospital
and he's no longer allowed to fly.
He has no legs. An inner ear infection
and no legs.
No legs.
And, but it's a lot of him thinking about flying.
Yes.
While he eats pudding.
I'm in.
What I will say,
I love first of all,
Tom Cruise is my age.
And so a huge thing for me was like,
it's practically staying in the theater
'cuz he looks amazing.
And he's running around and jumping into a cockpit
and making out with this beautiful.
And I was just like yes,
we're still here.
Oh ee.
I know.
It's Tom Cruise though.
Trust me.
I, my powers of self delusion are so powerful
that when Tom Cruise is doing these things,
I'm able to say yes,
I'm still attractive to Jennifer Connolly.
People are like what?
Jennifer Connolly doesn't care about you.
He brought you in.
No, he brought me in.
I did think there was part of it,
which is and Brad Pitt too.
I'm the same age as these guys.
And so I know that they are genetically very different
from me.
I accept that.
And they go to a gym and probably eat properly.
Yes, there are some differences,
but still I'm,
I root
for them to keep making movies and getting,
you know,
having a make out scene or a sex scene.
Yeah taking their shirts off.
Yeah and sweaty.
I'm down for it too.
I'm totally fine with that.
It means my penis will work again.
Oh well that's,
that's. Did I go too far?
That's not how I'm looking at it.
Well, the doctors say it won't
but when I see that film I know it can happen.
You see them eating pudding and go, yay.
Just crushing Viagra into my pudding.
Something will give,
it's got to.
Something will give?
Move damn it, move.
Don't wanna.
Maybe if you stop yelling at it.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, that took a turn.
