| 0:08.2 | I am Nando. |
| 0:09.9 | And I am DJ. |
| 0:12.0 | And this is mostly nitpicking a podcast where every week we pick a part of a piece of pop culture by looking exclusively at the details. |
| 0:19.1 | Woohoo! |
| 0:20.4 | This week, a movie that you will have forgot about by next week. |
| 0:24.5 | Sorry, everybody. |
| 0:25.2 | There's no way this movie will leave any footprint whatsoever, |
| 0:27.5 | but it is an interesting little thing. |
| 0:30.1 | We're talking about 2010's Gemini Man. |
| 0:34.6 | What? |
| 0:35.2 | It's crazy that they put this movie from 2010 in theaters now. It's movies from 2010, right? Is it really? Isn't it? It must be, right? Will Smith and then like a computer man that looks like he's from a computer. Clive Owen. This is a 2010's movie, I think. Oh, man, I did not know that. It'll trick you. It'll trick you. I mean, how old is Mary Elizabeth Winstead in real life? No idea. I couldn't do you. There's no way she's like college age. Not that I'm thinking she's not, but she, like when the movie tried to trick us into thinking she was, I was like, but she's not, right? Like, yeah, this actress is somewhere in her mid-30s. |
| 1:11.7 | But, like, I didn't think they were trying to trick us into that she was a college-age lady because she's like, well, spoiler or whatever, but she's like a, uh, it's barely a spoiler. You find out in the first 20 minutes. She's a, um, a DIA operative. Right, but when she's trying to trick Will Smith. I'm like, |
| 1:08.6 | this is an adult. She isn't |
| 1:10.5 | going to college. she's trying to trick Will Smith, I'm like, this is an adult. She isn't going to college. She's trying to trick him into thinking she's like 22, maybe. It just felt weird, not even because she doesn't look like she could be. Just because I know she's not. And I'm like, was this like, this is a strange choice movie? You know what I mean? I'm with you. Yeah. I get it. Listen, listen, for people that are confused, this is not an actual, actual 2010's movie. However, all of the pieces like together the way that they are, it would probably work as a 2010's movie. Because it's a movie that came out in Year of Our Lord 2019 called Gemini Man. |
| 2:04.1 | And it really shouldn't have. |
| 2:05.4 | Like, this movie should not have been made. |
| 2:07.3 | Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what the deal was with this movie, where it came from, why it exists at all. |
| 2:13.5 | My guess is, Will Smith was like, someone had a script somewhere that's like, hey, generic war type movie where the good guy gets turned on by the government. Ooh. And Will Smith was like, that sounds easy. Although, like, do you think that movies, I wonder how much money it's going to make. I'm sure it'll be the number one box office movie this week because... No way. You don't think so? |
| 2:35.2 | I feel like Joker will make more money than this. |
| 2:37.4 | You know, anybody that's psyched to see this? |
| 2:40.9 | Hmm. |
