Sport Clips haircuts they hairdo like no
1:26
one else hair does. That's because not
1:28
only is it the home of champion

haircuts but they've also made relaxing and
1:32
unwinding the name of the game. With

the MVP haircut experience your haircut gets

turned up a notch. That's right because
1:39
the MVP is more than just a

haircut. It's a spa day for your
1:43
hair follicles. It's a seven pressure point

massaging shampoo along with a perfectly steamed

on the TV. You can want it

Clips. It's a game changer. Grab
1:57
a pint of Ben and Jerry's vanilla. Put
2:00
on your masquerade mask and pop
2:02
in some kegel balls. Because
2:05
marriage is in the air. We saw 50
2:07
shades darker. So you know
2:10
what that means. People
3:04
of both mandalins!
3:10
We are here at Margo
3:12
4, the second part of
3:14
the 50 shades of grey trilogy.
3:17
That's right, 50 shades
3:19
darker. Wow,
3:22
oh wow. If you thought nothing
3:24
happened in the first movie, get
3:29
ready. Because
3:32
somehow even less happens
3:34
in this movie. It
3:40
starts off with anastasia, longing
3:42
or missing or broken up from
3:45
Christian, and then immediately they're back
3:47
together. And
3:49
then all the S&M stuff, that kind
3:51
of goes by the wayside. And
3:54
it just becomes a straight up romance movie
3:56
with a little kinky shit in it. with
4:00
a proposal, two,
4:02
three maybe proposals,
4:05
and finally
4:07
a twist that
4:09
makes no fucking sense. But
4:12
we need that twist because we
4:15
have to get to the final
4:17
chapter. We're gonna break it all
4:19
down tonight. Every bit of
4:21
this movie, all two hours
4:23
and 11 minutes of it, depending
4:26
whether or not if you
4:29
watch the unrated cut, which
4:31
I did because I like
4:34
understanding the publishing industry. That's
4:38
all the extra scenes are just in
4:40
the world of publishing. More meetings! Here
4:46
to break down tonight's episode
4:48
is my co-host. Please
4:50
welcome to the stage Mr. Jason
4:53
Manzukas. What
5:01
the jesus! Let's
5:04
go, Wargo! We're
5:07
here for the Empire Strikes Back
5:09
of the Fifty Shades of Grey
5:11
series! Cut
5:14
Christian open! Put
5:16
Anastasia in his belly! Now,
5:23
last night we both made some predictions
5:26
about where we thought the
5:28
second film was going. Boy, I
5:30
would say we're kind of right and kind of wrong.
5:32
Kind of right, kind of wrong. There was, I
5:35
did not expect at all that there would
5:37
be gunplay. I
5:40
didn't expect there to be a helicopter accident.
5:43
When, at what point in the
5:45
second movie do you introduce three
5:48
villains? Movie
5:50
one! The only villain? Christian Grey.
5:53
Movie two? Three new villains?
5:56
Okay, when Joel Schumacher took
5:58
over Batman. Enough! There's
6:00
too many villains here. Too many villains?
6:02
Too many nipples! Although...
6:05
Just like this movie. So
6:08
many nipples! I would love
6:10
it if she was like, are those burns? And he was like, they're all
6:12
nipples. By
6:14
the way, Joel Schumacher would have been a great choice to
6:16
direct this film. I would
6:19
have been into this movie if it
6:21
was... Joel Schumacher... Imagine these movies done
6:23
by Joel Schumacher or Adrian Limes. Oh,
6:25
well that... That... They're very differently.
6:28
Wow. Then it's actually horny, and
6:30
I'm not like during the sex
6:32
scenes actively folding laundry. I
6:36
wrote it in my notes. I was like, there's tits
6:39
on screen and I'm folding
6:41
towels. Something's
6:43
wrong. I felt the
6:45
same way. When a sex scene came on, I
6:47
was like, oh, time to get a snack. It
6:51
was like a commercial break. I was like, ah. I've
6:55
never in my life been
6:57
less interested in sex scenes. It's
7:00
so... Like, I
7:02
don't know. Well,
7:05
we'll get it. We'll break it all down. Will we?
7:07
I hope. And I
7:09
hope by the end of this episode, we get
7:11
some justice for Roz. We
7:15
introduce Roz. Like, and Roz. Like, what
7:17
the fuck is Roz? Roz.
7:19
Talked about Roz. Like, Roz is the character
7:22
that we know. I
7:24
mean, at what point are they like, we're going to introduce 30
7:27
new characters in this movie. You
7:29
got to follow all of them. My favorite
7:31
thing was that they introduce the
7:33
sister who's changed her hair color, but she's
7:36
wearing a mask. They're like, oh, you look
7:38
different, but you're in a mask. And
7:40
then she drops like five minutes of exposition in
7:42
the walks off camera. It's like even the people
7:44
we know, it's confusing to
7:46
re-meet them. And I'm
7:49
not sure the Jack we meet at the beginning
7:51
of the episode is the Jack at the end
7:53
of the movie. The Jack at the end of
7:55
the movie. I don't know who this guy is.
7:57
You've got a smoky eye? I'm like, what is
7:59
happening? I am confused. Well,
8:01
luckily... Let's do it. Let's fucking do it.
8:04
Luckily tonight, we have an How Did This Get
8:06
Made All-Star joining us to break
8:09
down this film. He has
8:12
joined us once before in a movie that
8:14
was also kind of sexy with
8:16
David Duchovny and
8:18
his... The Secret? Yes. Oh,
8:21
no. Oh,
8:23
we're not bringing out that movie. Oh,
8:26
no. Oh, no. Are they gonna... The
8:28
movie isn't here. The guest
8:31
is The Movie The Secret, which
8:33
we also will watch again. Oh,
8:37
no. I
8:39
feel like everybody in the audience just
8:41
sympathetically shared my experience with the catalog
8:44
of our movies, which
8:46
is, why have I watched all of these?
8:49
So they're reminded of the nightmare that
8:51
is this podcast. Our guest
8:53
tonight is the writer and star of
8:56
the hit film, Fire Island. He
8:59
is now currently on Chrissy and Dave's
9:01
Die Now. Please welcome
9:03
Joel Tarrant-Booster. Look
9:11
at that. Oh,
9:13
my goodness. Hello,
9:15
you guys. Wow,
9:18
wow, wow. You got an
9:20
almost standing ovation before jumping out of there. I
9:23
was a little nervous when everyone... You
9:26
said the name and everyone was like, oh, no. I
9:28
got nervous too. I was like, no, this is gonna
9:30
be a good guest. And yet another episode without June.
9:34
The way I almost turned the car around. I
9:37
told him on the way here, and I do have some bad
9:39
news. June is not gonna be here again after
9:42
assuring you that she would be. I
9:45
know she'll never listen to this, but she is... And
9:48
I'm not exaggerating. She is one of
9:51
the reasons I started doing comedy. Really?
9:54
And so I cannot wait to
9:56
meet her. You
10:02
don't understand. I was so
10:04
nervous about meeting June tonight that my boyfriend
10:06
got stressed out about what he was going
10:08
to wear. Because
10:11
he was like, well, I'm going to meet June tonight. So
10:15
that's where I'm at. But
10:18
it's okay. It's okay. It's fine. Well,
10:20
I will tell you, there is nothing
10:22
sweeter than watching June just
10:24
sick trying to muscle through this
10:27
movie. Oh,
10:29
she watched it? I
10:31
watched her. She's like coughing. Like
10:33
writing, you like work. That's
10:36
all I saw. That's all
10:38
I saw. I was
10:40
like, do you think the movies made her
10:42
sick? That's what
10:44
I was thinking. I do feel like there's
10:46
something about these films that is contagious. People
10:50
are getting a fever, a 50 shades fever.
10:52
All right. So we last night
10:55
spoke about our connection to
10:57
this movie, which was we didn't have. We understood culturally or
10:59
it was. We didn't see it before. Did you, where
11:01
did you come into on the 50 shades scale? Like
11:03
where do you do the books, the
11:06
Twilight fan fiction that it began as or
11:08
the movie of the universe? So
11:10
this is crazy. I actually, I've never seen
11:12
any of the other 50 shades movies. I've
11:14
seen this one three times. I
11:18
saw it as a joke when it was in
11:21
theaters that it turns out it was a joke.
11:23
I played on myself and
11:26
then I watched it on the plane flying back from
11:28
New York today. And then I decided to watch it
11:30
a third time with my boyfriend today. So
11:34
we had since broken up. You
11:37
watched it twice in 24 hours. My brain
11:39
is mush. It
11:41
is, it did not make any more sense.
11:43
And it makes actually less sense the more
11:45
you watch it. I
11:48
feel dumber. Yeah. It's a weird
11:50
movie because you're like, wow, I just
11:52
spent two hours. What happened? This
11:55
movie isn't interested in explaining anything
11:57
that happens as we find out
11:59
when Christian Grey and
12:01
Roz are in a helicopter crash
12:03
and never explained to anyone how
12:05
they got away alive. Performance
12:09
of a lifetime from Roz who says no
12:11
less than five times while the helicopter
12:13
is going down, what's going on Christian?
12:15
What's going on? And it's like, bitch,
12:17
look around! You're going
12:19
down! And
12:22
if you are that confused then you
12:24
are not taking helicopter flying seriously. If
12:26
I'm in a helicopter I'm assuming I
12:28
might die. Like that's the choice I've
12:30
made. Like I might die here, this is
12:33
it. I gotta say too there's something really
12:36
despicable about the fact that this takes
12:38
place in the Pacific Northwest. That like
12:40
the helicopter goes down in Portland and
12:43
then he walks in the door in
12:45
Vancouver seconds later. The
12:47
way that he walks in is, I mean
12:50
there's a lot of shit that makes no sense, but
12:53
the way he walks in so angry like, yeah what? What?
12:56
Yeah my helicopter crashed. Why are you all here?
12:59
Why are you crying? Why are you upset? Get
13:01
out of here! Yeah, Lee! Lee! Yes
13:04
my birthday whatever, go! He had
13:06
taken that he was in a
13:08
crash. He has the attitude of
13:10
someone who was like, oh actually
13:12
I wasn't in the helicopter. Right.
13:14
The news is mistaken, I've been
13:16
at the gym, so
13:19
why are you guys, you don't need to
13:21
be this upset. No, I lost my phone
13:23
in the helicopter crash. The helicopter crashes and
13:25
he and Roz are both 100% fine. It
13:28
seems like they crashed. I was like hey
13:31
I'm late for my birthday dinner can I just
13:33
hitch ride with you? He called an Uber from
13:35
the crash site. Yeah, yeah. They let him home.
13:37
He didn't even go to a hospital and get
13:39
checked out. What's his driver's name? Taylor Tyler? Yeah,
13:41
he's there. Taylor. Mr. Grey? Taylor, Taylor.
13:46
I'm going down. I'm going. Taylor. What is going on? Just
13:48
shut up. Taylor, pick me up in the middle of the
13:50
words that you can give me. Give me a carefully wrapped box of Apple
13:52
products that
13:57
are already set up for me. I kept
13:59
I kept getting confused because he kept like texting
14:01
or saying, hey I'm here with Taylor or
14:03
Taylor and I are downstairs or Taylor and
14:05
I are going to dinner and I was
14:08
like is that the sister? Like why he's
14:10
so close to Taylor? Taylor
14:12
is a body man but Taylor is a little
14:14
sidelined in this movie and seems like Taylor
14:17
was sent to go kick the shit out of the editor
14:19
who worked. Like that was some new
14:21
information. He's like go up there, go beat the shit out of
14:23
that guy. That guy's
14:25
getting punched in the face like why are you doing this? Well
14:27
you upset my boss. What
14:33
I will say about this which
14:35
I loved is the
14:37
opening sequence where we're getting
14:39
a shoeless, rural, southern,
14:43
like this is his life. Like
14:45
and he's in this like like very like
14:47
log cabin he was an abusive dad. His
14:50
trauma flashback? It's a Dolly Parton music video
14:52
at the beginning is what it is. That
14:55
would be harsher. That dad
14:57
is saying you silly fucking
14:59
twit. What?
15:04
Twit? Come on. And
15:07
that's all we get. You
15:09
think like oh maybe that's gonna be we're
15:11
gonna get more. No that's all we need
15:13
is that little sliver of him hiding under
15:15
a bed and then it's like
15:17
and we got we got it. Now you get it.
15:19
I think they're trying to soften the edges though. I
15:22
feel like this movie and I know
15:24
it is like based on Twilight fanfiction but so
15:26
much of it is Mormon coded. I feel like
15:28
this whole movie is just
15:32
a series of vignettes between
15:34
sex scenes that are like Mormon
15:36
lady wish
15:39
fulfillment basically. Everything
15:42
happens exactly like it's exactly as sexy
15:44
as like the dirtiest Mormon lady you
15:46
know could conjure. Well
15:48
that's it. It's like the most deviant
15:50
sex fight. And everybody think of the
15:53
dirtiest Mormon lady. Picture
15:55
it in your head. Ooh. She's
15:59
drinking a coke. When
16:05
I was a kid,
16:08
you heard these stories of what
16:10
different sex acts were, and they
16:13
primarily only had very vanilla sex.
16:15
I've heard some dirty stuff. And
16:17
if it's kind of wrong in the translation, the
16:19
way I heard what a blowjob was when I
16:21
was a kid was... You
16:24
mean... Is this in the book? This
16:27
is in the book. I was like, maybe
16:29
that's why it's like... Maybe
16:32
it isn't. I don't remember. You have to
16:34
bring some ice with you. You put ice in your
16:37
mouth, you get it real cold, and then you also
16:39
have a hair dryer. And then you put
16:42
your mouth... Take the ice out,
16:44
now your mouth is cold, and then you blow
16:46
on the dick, and then you take the hair
16:48
dryer and make it hot. And you're
16:50
kind of doing an icy hot thing. That's
16:52
how I heard what a blowjob was. I
16:54
was like, whoa. But
16:56
temperature's not even a remote part
16:59
of it. But
17:01
I'm learning this in fifth grade. I'm
17:03
like, God, a blowjob. Need
17:06
the hair dryer, need ice. Wow.
17:08
It's interesting, because it's
17:11
interesting you were learning so much about the giving
17:13
of a blowjob. I'm
17:15
sorry. It's like
17:17
that's just something a lady would bring
17:19
to the screen. I
17:22
know, yeah. This is a bunch of guys sitting around talking
17:24
about... What you need. I didn't
17:26
even think about it in that way, yeah. I
17:29
gotta say... Hey, mom, I got a big date tonight. Can
17:31
I borrow your hair dryer? Well,
17:35
I think I got in trouble with my mom, because
17:37
I said, like, oh, what are you going to use
17:39
a hair dryer on him? And my mom was like,
17:42
what are you talking about? You said that to your
17:44
mom? Yeah, I don't have any... Put it in the
17:46
book. Who's your mom blowing? What's happening? How did this
17:48
get made? How did this get made?
17:51
How did this get made? We'll be going
17:54
to the UK in March and April, not
17:56
just the UK. We're also going to Ireland.
17:58
And you know what? I
18:00
am excited to go overseas,
18:02
but I realize that while
18:04
I'm spending money over there, I could
18:07
actually be making some money
18:09
on the side over here by hosting
18:11
my place. Now, let me tell you
18:13
about hosting your place. It's something that
18:15
you can do. It's available for everyone.
18:17
While you're away, your home could be
18:19
an Airbnb. Now many people
18:21
host an Airbnb, but there are people who
18:23
have never thought about it or didn't realize
18:25
that their space could even be an Airbnb.
18:28
I mean hosting can easily fit into your
18:30
lifestyle and is a great way to earn
18:32
some extra money. So if you have a
18:34
home, but you're not always
18:36
at home, you have an Airbnb. Your
18:39
home might be worth more
18:41
than you think. Find out
18:43
how much at airbnb.com/host. Here's
18:47

18:49

expect, but also on the stuff

slash bonkers. There's no safe
21:03
like Simply Safe. But
21:06
no, you're completely right about the sex in this movie.
21:09
And I'm going to say this and I
21:12
might be able to explain it by the time the
21:14
episode is done. But watching this movie and specifically watching
21:16
the sex in this movie, all I kept thinking is
21:18
like, oh, God, straight
21:21
people have to do all that just to be
21:23
gay. You know? Like, it's
21:25
just like the whole time I kept watching it, I
21:27
was like, just be gay. You
21:30
want to be a freak? Like, I don't know. It's
21:32
just like, and so much so that this movie like
21:34
takes back the premise of the first movie. The first
21:36
movie is like, Christian Grey, he's dominant
21:38
and he's going to fuck her. He doesn't
21:40
fuck. He fucks hard. He doesn't sleep in
21:43
the same bed. And everything about these movies
21:45
is like just making him into
21:47
a boyfriend. Like in this movie, he's
21:49
just a straight up boyfriend who like
21:51
maybe has like a handcuffs. Like
21:53
they finally. Like just love going down
21:55
on women. For two full movies, we
21:57
are like, is she going to fuck?
21:59
gonna wanna go to the red room, is she gonna
22:01
wanna go to the red room? And then finally she's like,
22:04
take me to the red room. At the end of this
22:06
week, take me to the red room. They go in, he
22:08
puts cups on her for like 10 seconds, and
22:10
then they're just having like passionate love making.
22:13
Which he has explicitly said is not what the
22:15
room is for. So
22:18
I'm like, what is this? Is this just
22:21
a room for sex next? I didn't realize
22:23
that they hadn't gone to the room yet.
22:25
The movie makes no indication that it is
22:28
a special thing. Well, the first movie ends
22:30
on the cliffhanger that he brings her into the room and
22:34
uses like a writing prop on her and
22:36
whips her in the butt. And she
22:38
is upset about that because he's taking
22:40
pleasure in her pain. Which
22:43
seems like that's what we
22:45
were to understand the whole thing was.
22:48
And then she's like, I'm outta here. And
22:50
then this movie seems to pick up two
22:53
days later. And
22:55
they're back, they're back. How long is it between
22:57
movies? Do we know? Because I've
22:59
asked that too. Because I was like, they're acting
23:02
like it was three nights ago, but then also
23:04
feeling like, was it six months ago? I don't
23:06
know, but either way, it's like, he sends her
23:08
flowers, he's like, good luck on your new job.
23:10
So he's still stalking her. Like
23:13
he knows that she's getting a job. She goes to
23:15
throw it out. And I was so happy she didn't
23:18
try to cram all the flowers. Yeah. I
23:22
was like, at least save the vase. Yeah.
23:27
And then she gets her job in,
23:29
this is 2017. She gets
23:32
a job in a place where I've seen
23:34
more paper products than ever.
23:36
Like there's one of the assistants
23:38
there is next to like
23:40
a Gutenberg press. It's like, why
23:43
do they have so much paper in this publishing
23:45
industry? They're not like, this is
23:47
not the past. Well, and when she later
23:49
on, when she takes over for the boss
23:51
and the other boss lady is like, you
23:53
have to go to the meeting. She hands
23:56
her a stack of manuscripts as though what
23:58
is she doing at the meeting? She
24:00
needs all the manuscripts. That
24:02
woman is from HR. Her
24:07
job doesn't interact at all
24:09
with the content of the
24:11
manuscript. She's like, well, then
24:13
you're in charge now. The
24:16
guy I really could talk about
24:19
Jake, Jake, right? Yeah. Jake
24:21
Arc Jack. Right? The boss?
24:24
The boss. Well, wait, we have to shout out. My
24:26
boyfriend pointed this out. His name is Jack Hyde. Oh,
24:29
like Jekyll and Hyde. Yeah, I saw that too. Like
24:32
Jekyll and Hyde. Ooh, I like that. Yeah.
24:35
And that fits perfectly with the amount of
24:37
cleverness in his books.
24:40
I would think that was clever
24:42
if he had a kind side
24:44
and then a mean side, but
24:46
from the jump he's a piece
24:48
of shit. And I'm like,
24:51
Anastasia Steele is
24:53
like just attracting the worst, most toxic people.
24:55
He does get her coffee. Yeah, he does
24:57
get her coffee. Yeah, he does get her
24:59
coffee. Well, he's got something I like that.
25:01
I like, oh, but then I thought we
25:03
were going to get like a little secretary
25:05
action, like the movie secretary. The movie secretary?
25:07
I was like, ooh, this will be fun.
25:09
Like she's going to have that relationship here.
25:11
Nope. Like it's nothing. An actual sexy movie.
25:14
Well, and to defend Jack Hyde a
25:16
little bit. Okay. A Jack
25:18
Hyde apology? Yeah. And
25:21
I believe he's a doctor of literature, so it's
25:23
Doctor Jack Hyde. Doctor.
25:25
Doctor Jack. Doctor Jack.
25:29
I'm sorry, but like he did have a
25:31
point. She should have gone to New York.
25:33
I'm sorry. That's your job.
25:36
And by the way, this movie
25:38
is all about like, I don't want to be controlled, but
25:40
then he invites her out for a drink
25:43
and Christian comes in and is like, go, let's
25:46
go. And they leave. And it's not
25:48
even like that weird. And it's
25:50
like, no, that's bad etiquette. Like she's bad
25:52
for leaving. He's bad for taking her. Like
25:54
he should be pissed at that. Like, well,
25:56
and it is the movie like is unwilling
25:59
to be complicated. at all. This is why
26:01
it's like Mormon Lady Wish Film it because like
26:04
yes you need to do your job and
26:06
go to New York but then the movie
26:08
immediately is like well actually he's a rapist
26:10
though. Right if you would have been raped. Thank
26:13
God you listened to Christian and didn't
26:15
go. I was
26:17
protecting you. I really I mean I also
26:21
want to talk about Jose's photo
26:24
exhibit. So Jose.
26:27
On every level. I want to talk about it
26:29
on every level. Jose. The shears portrait
26:31
studio. That she didn't know that there
26:34
was gonna be Jeevars. The movie's got
26:36
it every way. She wants to be
26:38
like a demure virgin but like almost
26:40
Mormon as person but also a model
26:43
like in like all of these pictures
26:45
and also like there the movie is
26:47
trying to have all of the pieces
26:50
in place and then none of it
26:52
makes sense. Well it's so interesting
26:54
because you know his photo
26:57
exhibit seems like arty photos and then
26:59
you're right the Sears Portrait Center. Yeah.
27:02
That are like headshot outtakes. It's
27:04
like oh I don't know I don't want that
27:06
one. I don't want that one and
27:08
and they're giant and she's like I
27:11
didn't know you took these like you
27:13
didn't. Yeah. Because you're fucking posing for
27:15
headshots. Like there's no
27:17
way that those were selfily taken
27:20
like that's a lit environment like
27:23
biting my sweater. Covering
27:25
my hair. Like the only thing I didn't see
27:28
in her is like she's like you know wearing
27:30
like a contractor jacket like mom could be a
27:32
construction worker. I'm not gonna be a bartender. I'm
27:34
a sailor. Like a
27:36
composite. Yeah. I didn't know these were gonna be
27:38
here. What did you think was happening? Well
27:45
and then when she was like who bought them and
27:47
it's like I don't know who bought the six like
27:49
portraits of you the guy who's stalking you. Who
27:52
then comes takes her to dinner and
27:54
orders her a steak. A steak with
27:56
fries. A steak with fries. What the
27:58
fuck eh. Don't order. order for someone
28:00
and then don't just get the mistake. Well,
28:03
it's two steaks with fries. I
28:06
also was thinking about them fucking on that. That's
28:08
the thing. That's the thing is she said no
28:10
sex, no sex. And a steak with fries is
28:12
a no sex meal. She's
28:15
sending mixed signals because then she gets a
28:17
quinoa salad. That's fucking food if I ever
28:19
heard it. Oh, yeah. Oh,
28:21
that's messaging. She's saying that's
28:23
a choice. That's like I'm open
28:25
for biz. Both
28:27
of them. Both of them. And this was
28:30
true in the previous movie, but even more
28:32
so here. Both of them are sending mixed
28:34
signals in every conversation they have with each
28:36
other. They're saying one thing, doing the opposite,
28:39
constantly. Flip, flip, flip, flip. It's absolutely
28:41
insane and makes the movie impossible
28:44
to follow because none of it adds
28:46
up to any, I don't know what
28:48
anybody wants. And why they say
28:50
they want it. I wrote down this thing. I was
28:52
like, what is he getting from her? Like
28:54
he's like, oh, I can't get you out of
28:56
my mind. You obsessed me. Why?
29:00
She's not funny. She doesn't make
29:02
them laugh. She doesn't do anything.
29:05
Doesn't have any interesting opinions about
29:07
anything. Boring. Boring. She
29:09
keeps trying to touch him in
29:12
the red zone. OK. That was
29:14
new information that I couldn't unpack that. I
29:17
didn't understand. I didn't understand it. And then
29:19
40 minutes after she draws the red zone,
29:21
he takes his shirt off and it's still
29:23
there. I
29:25
was like, what? What
29:27
was this drawn with? I
29:30
want to see that housekeeper doing the laundry the
29:32
next day and being like, what the fuck is
29:34
going on inside this shirt? Every
29:36
shirt is. No, but like, so he
29:39
can't be touched just
29:41
slightly. Like
29:43
torso. But it's like, it's
29:46
weird. The hardest place not
29:48
to touch a human. It's
29:50
like, don't touch here. And
29:53
she's only like, they're taking a shower and
29:55
she's managing not to touch there,
29:57
which I was impressed. That's probably the most impressive.
30:00
thing a movie does. No, when she washes
30:02
it up, she's fully in the red zone.
30:04
Yeah. It's why
30:06
the red zone. To answer your question,
30:08
Paul, I think, which you're asking is,
30:10
what does he see in her? It's
30:13
his mother. That
30:17
question is answered in the text of
30:19
the movie, which is
30:22
he sees in all of these
30:25
women that he's been involved with, his
30:27
mother, that he is acting out some
30:29
sort of something with, right? It
30:32
is crazy. I know
30:34
that this would sort of ruin the movie.
30:36
There wouldn't be three movies, three books, if
30:38
this were the case. But the fact that
30:40
therapy is never brought up one time, not
30:45
once does Anastasia Steele say, I get
30:47
that. I mean, it's hot to me,
30:49
but also let's get... call BetterHelp or
30:52
something. It's
30:54
easy if you don't like your therapist, you can change it.
30:58
Promo code bonkers. I have talked
31:01
to BetterHelp about that. I'm like, you
31:04
realize that you're giving the promo code
31:07
bonkers to
31:09
a mental health hotline.
31:12
Like we're fine with it. I'm like, okay. Far
31:17
be it for me to critique
31:19
your promo code, but it seems
31:21
slightly problematic. It is odd.
31:24
It's like, because
31:32
then we reveal, and again, you probably have putting this
31:34
stuff together, but if you haven't, I'll just show you
31:36
some things that we know that Kim
31:38
Basinger, which is a surprise. I was
31:41
like, ooh, yeah. I said Kim Cattrall.
31:43
I was close. I
31:45
said Melanie Griffith. I
31:47
thought Kim Basinger was great. She's got
31:50
a great look and I wanted
31:52
her to do more, but she's his
31:55
Dom. And
31:57
I don't quite understand the relationship. This
32:00
is the thing about the movie too,
32:02
there are like three interesting movies that
32:04
it almost becomes in the movie and that is
32:07
one of the interesting movies where it's like she's
32:09
the final boss. You
32:12
thought he was a dumb, well get ready for this
32:14
bitch. And then like... Oh, how
32:16
bad did you want her to tell
32:18
him to kneel when she was upset
32:20
the way that he did to the
32:22
woman who had the gun? You
32:25
know, at the end when they're having
32:27
their confrontation with Kim
32:29
Basier, I wanted her to say to him, kneel,
32:31
and for him to just immediately do it. I
32:33
would have loved that, but instead, Marsha Gay
32:35
Harden seems like she's in on it too.
32:38
She's like, get the fuck out of my house. And
32:40
I'm like, first of all, I'm confused about
32:42
Marsha Gay Harden. Because she seems
32:44
like a great stepmom. Like she actually, I'm
32:46
like, the first one, I'm like, oh, she's a little controlling too?
32:49
What? Adopted mom. Oh,
32:51
adopted mom, yeah. Sorry. When I
32:53
first meet her in episode one, I'm like, okay, I don't
32:56
trust her. Now I'm like, I think she's pretty great.
32:58
I feel like he's coming from a pretty healthy family.
33:01
Which is odd, because we're constantly told
33:03
that he's all fucked up. But
33:05
then, when Marsha Gay Harden's like, get the fuck out
33:07
of here, she's revealing to
33:09
me that she knows that Kim Basinger raped
33:12
him, right? No, she's overheard. Yeah,
33:15
our book reader... You're
33:18
wrong. I believe she has just
33:20
overheard him say to Kim Basinger.
33:22
You taught me how to fuck,
33:24
she taught me meaning how to
33:26
love. And now I'm really
33:28
concerned... Which is a tattoo I have. It's
33:32
way too big. And you're not supposed
33:34
to be touching that area. This
33:38
must have been from the book, but
33:40
I'm really concerned about the business they
33:42
apparently share too. Yeah. He drops
33:44
it at one point, he's like, she's my business
33:46
partner. And she owns the salon. Did
33:48
he invest in the salon? Did he own Drybar? Like,
33:51
what is it? Yes, that must be
33:53
what it is. This man
33:56
owns anything. He's like, I bought
33:58
the publication company. I'm
34:01
like he's buying anything to diversify When
34:09
they cut into when he's having
34:11
the passive-aggressive text conversation with Anastasia
34:14
And he's in a business meeting if
34:16
you just listen to the business
34:19
that is being talked about while he's
34:23
The the jargon doesn't add up
34:26
anything at all It's
34:28
kind of like third quarter earnings are
34:30
off on environmental statistics It's like that
34:32
are pushing into you know, and she
34:34
literally says like something about like quantum
34:37
physics at one point And
34:39
it's like you work for stark industry
34:43
But also own a publishing company
34:46
and a salon I mean
34:49
it really like this company
34:51
does everything and also he
34:53
does and it's not a god And it's all
34:56
run from the Pacific Northwest the hub
34:58
the hub of big business, but it's
35:01
not tech Now
35:07
here's a question I we're gonna get into it one
35:09
point and I don't if anyone has
35:11
any examples I don't want to get too gross about
35:13
it But you know, obviously we gotta get
35:15
back to the sex stuff because you know, that's
35:17
what the movies about Okay for a long time.
35:19
We're like, oh is this gonna be a movie
35:21
where it's like sexiest time the ended not until
35:24
He introduces these like these vaginal
35:26
beads Whatever Ben Wabal,
35:29
whatever they are of a Kegel beads,
35:31
whatever They don't
35:33
really name them. I had to go looking online to
35:35
find the exact name All
35:38
you have to do is say what's it called? Kegel
35:40
ball Kegel. Okay, but you're fucking So
35:45
they're the ball horny Mormons in the audience
35:47
said I watch got him in right now
35:49
I watched a lot of there's a lot
35:52
of like videos online of
35:54
people going I tried the balls From
35:56
50 shades darker and this is what I
35:58
found and honestly everyone thought Everyone
36:00
is like, they're all in. Are
36:02
there 50 Shades Darker
36:05
branded giggle balls? I
36:07
think the balls in the movie are a brand that people...
36:11
If you went to the theater in
36:13
the popcorn... First,
36:20
you have to get them salty.
36:22
I love that you
36:25
went to Salt-N-Hot Butter. This
36:30
is a real about face from
36:32
Las Sango in Paris. But
36:35
it was odd to me. I like that this
36:37
movie finally introduces some humor. It does? Well,
36:41
she goes, I want you to wear these.
36:43
And she's like, in my butt? And I'm
36:45
like, alright. It was a
36:47
little as a lady does protest too much,
36:50
I think. And
36:52
she was like, no, I won't stick that in my butt.
36:55
Oh, you don't want it in my butt. And
36:58
I guess I know the answer
37:00
to this. I
37:03
don't want to see it, but it seemed like it went
37:05
in so quickly. It was like, bend over? Okay. So,
37:08
it didn't seem like those just
37:10
fly in. You wanted
37:12
a Foley artist to be like... Go!
37:21
First one's in. First one is in. I
37:23
think I just audibly heard
37:25
her vagina swallow those beans. Well, it
37:28
made me have questions because I was like, how did
37:30
they go in so quickly? It just seemed like it
37:32
was like... I'm really... Like she was
37:35
like a jet engine or something. So,
37:37
this is the thing, I was also
37:39
similarly confused, but I was like chalking
37:42
that up to my ignorance about female
37:44
anatomy, but it feels
37:46
like you should know. I
37:50
just think that it seemed... Well,
37:53
to the audience. Did
37:57
it keep way... No
38:06
These pussies are gobbling these Balls
38:19
in right now By
38:21
the way, that's the t-shirt like a
38:24
vagina pac-man chasing Like
38:27
those those balls I
38:29
if people this is the thing people
38:31
don't buy our more sexual stuff No,
38:33
yeah being stuff because I was gonna
38:35
say we should put out how did
38:37
this get made branded Kegel balls? But
38:40
you assholes wouldn't buy them. Oh my
38:44
gosh, I mean I've
38:46
got a man right now that sounds like I'm
38:48
sorry, but how did this get made Kegel
38:50
ball sounds like recipe for talk? it shocks
38:52
the drum I have ever Absolutely.
38:56
Well, are fans gonna go bad? Yeah
38:59
So this movie is really like led
39:01
by the masquerade ball. We're going to
39:03
the masquerade ball, which I'm hoping is gonna
39:06
be sexy I'm like waiting for like
39:08
an eyes wide show thing. No, it's
39:10
like a boring ass like But
39:12
it's an option. Oh, I'm sure it e-op. Yeah,
39:14
you know and we're and you know And you
39:16
know, but that's the thing the scariest mask is
39:19
Kim Bae sojour's mask Yeah, did you when she
39:21
like forgets that she's not wearing she's like, oh,
39:23
I better put this Pinocchio mask Well, I feel
39:25
like she's the only person in the movie that
39:27
said a sexy man. Yeah ball She's the only
39:30
one that's good that gets it. Everybody else is
39:32
like sexy masquerade ball. Just kidding charity auction Yeah,
39:36
there is it. There are some odd things about
39:38
like so I've but they're in this, you
39:40
know, they're in this auction They're they're they're
39:42
they're doing this stuff and we
39:44
get this moment, you know after he they they fuck
39:47
in his room or whatever and This
39:49
guy on the staircase taking a
39:51
picture of the family
39:54
and They're like, ooh, who
39:56
is that? But it's so clear because of
39:58
his hair. Yeah. Okay For a minute
40:00
I saw him from the back, I was like, well
40:02
here's Jack at the party, fucking asshole.
40:04
So Jack, I mean, and this is I
40:07
guess the question, because Jack seems
40:09
to not know Christian. But no,
40:11
this is the other thing, I don't
40:13
know why he took the photo of
40:15
the family, because they're like a wealthy,
40:17
famous family, just Google that. Well,
40:20
in the first movie it was established, there's
40:22
only three pictures of Christian Grey on
40:24
Google, and two of them were from later
40:26
in the movie. But here, yeah, I was
40:29
just gonna say, we've now seen him take
40:31
and be photographed dozens of times. He
40:33
is not someone who doesn't want his photo
40:35
taken. He is out and about, he's getting
40:38
his photo snapped, and but he takes
40:40
that picture, and I also like, what,
40:42
like it's not like evidence, it
40:45
seems to be simply so that he can
40:47
burn the cigarette in it in the last
40:49
scene. So he took a picture of
40:51
his iPhone, went
40:55
to like a Target, found one of those
40:57
machines, printed out a four
40:59
by six, so got it, and then.
41:01
Yeah, something like that, and that's how
41:03
absurd it is. Can I ask, and
41:06
somebody maybe will know from the
41:08
book readers or something like that, was
41:10
Jack meant to be, this
41:12
series is Jacob? Are
41:14
we supposed to be choosing between, like the way
41:16
that Bella, you were either Team Edward or Team
41:18
Jacob? No, don't even finish, don't even finish. Are
41:20
you just as supposed to? No, no, I wanna
41:23
keep asking. Let me explain myself. No, no. Do
41:25
you remember Team Edward and
41:29
Team Jacob? But
41:34
Taylor Lautner? But
41:36
this is why, like to your point, this
41:38
is why this movie is kind of missing the mark,
41:40
because in my mind, I'm
41:43
like, wouldn't it have been interesting if
41:45
they break up and
41:47
she actually finds this guy kind of
41:49
sexy? He's in her field, he likes
41:51
literature, they get together, they find each
41:53
other on a different level. They have
41:55
sex, like there's something interesting, and then
41:57
Christian Grey comes back. But this movie
41:59
doesn't allow... anyone to literally
42:02
be in a scene with her more than 35
42:04
seconds even when the helicopter crash is like
42:07
I'm back guys why are
42:09
you with my girlfriend yeah that's
42:11
my girlfriend mom he
42:13
doesn't even want his family spending time with
42:15
her get the fuck out of here so
42:17
I can be with my girl and he
42:19
like says it at one point when he's
42:21
like trying to assault her he's like I
42:24
could I could fuck you and make you
42:26
smarter too and it's like well let her
42:28
get to that conclusion you know like I
42:30
also don't want anyone to say they're gonna fuck the
42:33
smart and like
42:36
I don't want to be smarter after you fuck that
42:38
feels weird thing which is like
42:41
dumber I want to I want to
42:43
forget some go-kap words afterwards you know
42:45
I also was like really she
42:47
cannot exist in the world
42:50
without somehow being with the
42:52
most toxic individuals like Jose
42:55
was creepy to
42:57
her like Jack spirals into like
43:00
a like mustache twirling
43:02
villain just by somehow being
43:04
closer and then like Christian comes in and
43:06
they have done he's like now I'm really
43:08
pissed well it's also like fuck
43:11
is this I think that she's some sort
43:13
of like demon that just
43:15
is possessing people because we see
43:17
nothing that makes her like appealing
43:19
she's a person who's watching like
43:22
a video on her own computer like this
43:27
passion she
43:30
and she doesn't like this is another thing
43:32
that I overheard when she's explaining one of
43:34
the books that she likes at one point
43:36
she describes it as it's a political thriller
43:38
told through the lens of Dante's Inferno and
43:43
then she gets cut off but I'm like I want to know
43:45
more yeah I love that because
43:49
I also feel like there's a middle part
43:51
of that where it's the author yell
43:54
James going like let me talk about publishing
43:56
how fucked up it is you
43:58
know because there's somebody's like well Oh, wait a second,
44:01
they're only popular online. And she's like,
44:03
I know, and that's where the readers
44:05
are. And you need to be publishing

I love Texas Pete. It is
46:11
the hot sauce that allows you
46:13
to sauce like you mean it.
46:15
All right, Texas Pete sauce is
46:17
packed with bold and balanced flavor.
46:19
I've loved Texas Pete for
46:21
years. When I got a
46:23
box of their stuff at my house, I was
46:25
so psyched because what I love about their hot
46:28
sauce is their tanginess, okay? You can use it
46:30
on anything and you're gonna try every flavor. I
46:32
mean, you got the original, which is great. That's
46:34
fermented peppers, it's a special blend. Then you got
46:36
the hotter hot sauce, which is three times hotter
46:39
than the original. And believe me, it is not
46:41
for the faint of heart. Then you got sabor
46:43
by Texas Pete, which adds an
46:46
authentic Mexican flavor. And I gotta
46:48
tell you, that might be my
46:50
favorite next to their dust dry
46:52
seasoning, which matches the flavor of
46:55
the original hot sauce in a
46:57
flavorful dry rub. It is so,
46:59
so great. Texas Pete,

47:19
my gosh, but we did reveal a question.
47:21
An answer has been given now
47:24
that the cleaning lady does clean up that red room. Yeah.
47:26
And that was a pedagogy. She
47:29
makes an acting choice. One of
47:31
the most difficult thing acting moments in the
47:33
movie is when he's carrying her out of
47:36
the room and the cleaning lady sees her
47:38
and she has to give a face that
47:40
says like, oh you kids, but at the
47:42
same time, like I know what you're doing,
47:45
but she's like not judgmental, but she's happy
47:47
about it. It is like, I wish you
47:49
could pull it up because it is honestly,
47:51
give her an Emmy. I
47:53
know it's a movie, but seriously. Who
47:56
is it? Mrs. Johnson, is that her
47:58
name? Mrs. Johnson, she turning in. the
48:00
best performance in the entire series so
48:02
far. I really, and some of the
48:04
best performances here are in these smaller
48:06
side characters. They just pop in, they
48:08
do their little business, but I also
48:10
feel like Mrs. Johnson is like, maybe
48:13
he's in that room too. Yeah, Mrs. Jones?
48:16
I love that, Jones. I
48:19
feel like, I just feel like,
48:21
what she's experienced. A very decoded Johnson delivery,
48:24
Jones. What you've experienced in
48:27
this house has been weird, and I
48:29
feel like, Jones.
48:37
I'm biting my lip. I've actually seen a lot of this. There
48:39
was a lot less lip biting in this movie. Oh yeah, she
48:41
hasn't lip bite that much, although she did bite that sweater's lip,
48:43
or the neck. No,
48:46
no, the neck hole is the mouth of a
48:48
sweater. I
48:54
like the pommel horse scene, and
48:56
I found that. Holy shit. Is
48:59
that a standard piece of gym equipment? When
49:02
I saw that, I wrote in
49:04
my notes, holy shit, he has
49:06
a pommel horse in his home
49:08
gym, which he then used. And
49:11
I was like, wait, does this guy know how
49:13
to do gymnastics? All
49:21
right, so he's doing an adorable. I love that everybody
49:23
in the crowd is like getting horned up. This
49:26
section right here, we really
49:29
need to put a tarp down. Now
49:33
this is what I love, because I can't tell
49:35
if this is wire work, or
49:38
this is real. This is real, this
49:40
looks real. This
49:42
is gymnastics. Wow.
49:46
Did you work on this movie? Are you
49:48
the script supervisor? Why are you, did you
49:50
play the pommel horse? Only
49:53
could do four takes, but it was real.
49:55
Only do four takes, and then he was
49:57
done, but it's real. I'm sorry, but who
49:59
set up... appear that he uses the
50:01
pommel horse correctly because he just you
50:04
could do that on anything I guess right but you
50:06
don't need a pommel horse to me I was like
50:11
oh this is set decoration gone
50:13
why like he's never
50:15
gonna use the pommel horse but then
50:17
he does and I was like okay
50:20
but it looks like so he's somebody who's
50:22
who doesn't know what it is right I
50:24
would love it there's a pommel horse correctly
50:27
he is just using it like
50:30
using it correctly would be like you know
50:32
hands you know awesome like
50:34
Jim Cada yeah Jim Cada that's what
50:36
I would want to see but
50:41
I feel like this movie is unanswered
50:44
questions after an answer questions and to
50:46
me the biggest question in this movie
50:49
is she stops the newsstand and
50:52
we don't see what she's buying and she goes give a
50:55
gift box which makes
50:57
me think she's insane
51:01
I listen New York for many a year
51:03
I've been to many newsstands give
51:05
a gift box I think the
51:07
person would look at me like the fuck
51:09
are you they would take it back if
51:12
you if you ask like a bodega person
51:14
for a gift box they would pull a
51:16
gun on you like there's and honestly they
51:18
would have every right yeah and
51:21
here's what's even more mind
51:23
scrambling apparently they do right
51:26
apparently she's right he does and
51:28
it works and not only that
51:30
she gives him Christian grade the
51:32
box and it's still in
51:35
his pocket after the helicopter crash
51:37
so people phone was lost nothing
51:39
else what's
51:43
up lost birthday
51:45
gift stayed intact and
51:47
that to me feels like a moment where no
51:50
one on set questioned it it was like
51:52
you know they have your thoughts yeah they
51:54
definitely multiple size gift boxes yeah no to
51:56
me a funnier choice would have been like
51:59
he like Pulls like an old
52:01
candy like here's a twix spot Yeah, yeah, so those
52:03
twixes, but you could put it in here, and it
52:05
would be awkwardly sized But yeah, like that's
52:07
why I like this movie does feel like there's no
52:10
Complication like that isn't even a cop Well, that's
52:13
the thing is like the whole beginning of the
52:15
movie is like her being like we
52:17
can date again as long as you're not a
52:19
fucking sex weirdo, right and Then
52:21
she does all the fucking sex weirdo shit that
52:24
he wants so he gets everything he wants anyway
52:26
So I don't understand what the problem is coming
52:28
into the second movie I don't
52:30
understand what anybody's problem is anywhere in the movie
52:36
To not just are her eyes
52:39
being opened to a world of sexual
52:41
discovery But she's being her world is
52:43
being opened up to like the mega
52:45
wealthy She is a billionaire this movie
52:47
should feel as though. It's sexy princess
52:50
diaries right like she should be like
52:52
whoa What? Everything
52:54
should be shocking and every step of the
52:56
way she's a chubby Should be like Annie
52:58
like I think I'm gonna like it. Yeah,
53:00
I can't believe this but every step of
53:02
the way She's unfazed and it's like yep
53:04
pretty much I thought I mean I mean
53:06
the and in fact I'll take more the
53:09
the biggest moment that the most reaction we
53:11
have is when the car that he gave
53:13
her is like Paint I
53:15
don't know if she was pink paint was thrown on
53:17
it like she's like oh my car like
53:20
that Yeah, like she's upset about that and then
53:22
when the woman with the gun comes in and
53:24
Christian makes her kneel She goes
53:26
six a long walk. Yeah, and then she
53:28
comes back everyone just comes back like it From
53:31
it's from that scene the gun
53:33
scene and the helicopter crash the
53:35
rest of these people's lives Would
53:38
be focused on overcoming that trauma. Well,
53:40
and they instead are like let's go
53:42
get a steak Again
53:45
with the more interesting movie. I thought the
53:47
first time I saw this movie I thought
53:49
okay, this girl is stalking her This girl
53:52
is like appearing popping up and you think
53:54
she's gonna be bad But she's really there
53:56
to warn her about Christian and then Christian is
53:58
gonna be bad. But no the movie is
54:00
like, no, no, no, no, she's
54:03
just jealous. Uh, she's just jealous.
54:06
Yeah, you know what? Like, he's like, hey,
54:08
look. And it's also, who's the
54:10
narrator? Because like, she had a mental breakdown,
54:12
you know? I cut it off, broke up
54:14
with her husband. Dicks so good she had to go crazy. She's
54:18
nuts. I don't know about you. She's fucking crazy.
54:20
But that whole scene, when he comes in and
54:22
she calls him master and is like, master lets
54:24
you sleep in his bed, or whatever, that whole
54:27
thing is. And then he comes in and is
54:29
like, Neil, and that whole thing unfolds. The
54:31
rest of the movie should be them unpacking
54:33
those 20 seconds
54:36
of time. And instead, the rest
54:38
of the movie is masquerade balls,
54:40
helicopter, everything else. And not
54:43
a single examination of the absolute
54:45
bat shit insanity. Where did she
54:47
go? Did he just? She's
54:49
never heard of these guys. Oh, she is. Disappear.
54:52
PILLAR. I can't
54:54
remember. She is in the
54:56
French foreign legion. She is done though. I mean,
54:58
again, and we didn't even, I want to go
55:00
to the crowd, but we didn't even get into
55:03
the fact that she gets
55:05
a job and within two weeks
55:07
is now running the company. Running
55:09
it. And it's stated
55:13
very clearly, he didn't make that
55:15
happen. She's good. She read
55:17
that Dante Di Pernod book and, wow.
55:20
Make her the head. I got to
55:22
say, it wasn't there in the performance.
55:25
But if I were directing this movie,
55:27
her one person of color coworker who
55:29
has been there longer than her, the
55:33
way she's like, so do I have to call you
55:35
Miss Steele now? She says
55:37
it in a normal kind way. But
55:39
in my head, if I were that
55:41
girl reading that script, I'd be like, so
55:44
am I supposed to call you Miss Steele
55:46
now? Like,
55:48
it's crazy. I think it's
55:50
the only person of color, depending on how
55:52
you count Rita Ora, is the only one
55:54
in the movie. Rita
55:56
Ora is the biggest jump scare in the movie for
55:58
me. I realized
56:01
it was her. I was like, that's the
56:03
lady who was the villain in the Pikachu
56:05
movie. You know? Um. She,
56:07
I mean, again, she pops in and we see her.
56:10
Boom, it's like, we go, let's see if this will
56:12
work. Oh, there she is. Yeah. There
56:15
she is. Yeah. Boom. And
56:17
again, Was she a brunette in the first
56:19
movie? That's what I'm saying. She popped in.
56:21
So that's why they justify her blonde hair
56:23
here because she's both masked and blonde? So
56:25
she does a character in a mask that
56:28
we know, they have to say, hey, she looks
56:30
different, but she looks doubly different because she's wearing a mask.
56:32
And then she's like, did he ever tell you about the
56:34
time he used to fight people? He got kicked out of
56:36
school a lot. I'm just dropping exposition for no apparent reason.
56:39
See you later. Like, but it doesn't
56:41
seem to bear out in any way, shape or
56:43
form. He's not a brawler here, unless it's him
56:45
that beat Jack up and we just didn't see
56:47
that scene. I mean, is he in the sequel?
56:49
I don't know. Again, nothing much happened.
56:51
I do just want to remind both of you
56:55
that we haven't talked at all about their
56:57
time on the boat. This
57:00
is crazy. Your
57:02
apartment isn't safe. Our apartments aren't safe. Let's
57:04
go to this very minimally
57:06
guarded boat. Let's
57:10
go to the docks. The
57:12
rest of the crew will be here in
57:14
the morning. She wakes up in international water?
57:18
What? You are being
57:20
trafficked. What's happening? There is so
57:22
much kidnapping going on in this
57:24
movie. There are so many red
57:27
flags for the entire Grey family.
57:30
And Anastasia Steele, again, a name that is
57:32
in no way, shape or form real, is
57:35
always like, I'm into it. I'm
57:37
into it. I mean, look, whatever this is, I'm
57:39
fucking into it. I mean, this is a scene
57:41
of red flags. Here we go. It's
57:43
all wrong. All of this is wrong.
57:49
You put money into my account that I
57:51
don't want it. Red flags. You
57:53
bought the company I work for. Red flag.
57:56
This isn't a relationship, Christian. It's
57:58
ownership. Red flag. I'm
58:02
trying to understand you. I
58:05
am just wanting
58:07
to get close to you. But
58:11
it's really difficult to do that when you keep
58:13
doing bizarre things like this. And
58:16
it's really difficult to do that when you won't let me
58:18
touch you. Red flag. What?
58:23
And it is but maybe 48 hours
58:25
later that she agrees to marry this man.
58:29
Because he says it in his sleep but
58:31
then he doesn't say it in his sleep.
58:33
He knew he was awake. I have to
58:35
ask really quickly because this is something I'm
58:37
genuinely confused about. Because Dakota
58:39
Johnson actually is one of my favorite actresses.
58:41
I love Suspiria. I love Suspiria. It's one
58:43
of my favorite movies. Is
58:46
she good in this movie? Is
58:50
she elevating the terrible script or is she right
58:53
on par with... Thank you. We
58:57
have another...we have a fourth member tonight. This
58:59
row is in the movie. Here's
59:01
what I will say. I have a
59:03
conflicted relationship with her. This
59:06
movie is leaps and bounds better
59:08
than the first one. From a visual point... What? Oh.
59:12
Oh. Joel, do yourself a
59:15
favor and do not ever
59:17
watch that movie. I mean,
59:19
the first one looked like a
59:21
student film. And this is
59:23
like well lit. I feel like acting is
59:25
better. That is crazy. Acting in the first
59:27
one you're like, oh. I
59:29
thought for sure this must have been a significant
59:31
dip in quality in all quadrants. No.
59:35
And as a matter of fact, this movie was
59:37
shot so differently that I was Googling, is it
59:39
the same actor who played Christian Grey because he
59:41
looks...I think he's lit different or he gained weight in
59:43
a good way. He just looks
59:46
better. The movie is failing everyone. The
59:48
movie is actively working...because there are so
59:50
many good actors in this movie and
59:52
it's working against all of them. Nobody
59:54
can make a choice that is helpful
59:57
for the movie even remotely. Yeah, I
59:59
just like... There's something about me that respects
1:00:01
Dakota Johnson even more now after seeing this
1:00:03
show Because there's something about
1:00:06
an actress of her caliber that will take
1:00:08
these shitty ass parts like Madame web girl
1:00:10
What are you doing and the line the
1:00:12
line that she says that Madame webb trailer?
1:00:14
Oh, I love it was with my mother
1:00:16
when she was studying spiders in the air
1:00:22
I am like, yeah, we will be
1:00:24
seated. That is our Valentine's Day Oh,
1:00:26
I am all in on Madame webb.
1:00:28
Give me the three. Oh, we'll be here. Well, that's
1:00:30
when you'll meet June. Yeah The
1:00:33
movie is so not interested
1:00:36
in compelling sex scenes so much
1:00:38
so that when she Enters and
1:00:40
has her first interaction with mrs.
1:00:43
Jones. It's to Jeff Buckley, which
1:00:45
we should all be fucking to tonight,
1:00:47
right? But then when
1:00:49
they do go and fuck it's to
1:00:52
like absolute insane rap rock Yeah, and
1:00:54
I'm like what is fucking happening here?
1:00:56
This is very bizarre. Let's go to
1:00:58
the crowd Let's see what you have
1:01:00
questions for obviously. There's a lot of
1:01:02
opinions out here Alright,
1:01:04
so the one thing that
1:01:07
we didn't mention was there was a
1:01:09
lot of issues in the first film
1:01:11
The director and the screenwriter did not
1:01:13
return because they had trouble with EL
1:01:15
James because EL James is very Controlling
1:01:17
of the script and wanted to make sure that
1:01:19
nothing deviated from her books. So
1:01:21
we have like Right
1:01:24
of refusal on cast and sir. Yeah Yeah
1:01:26
quite a bit of our control Yeah, so
1:01:28
much so that the studio trusted EL and
1:01:30
not the director and writer So for the
1:01:32
second film they got this new director and
1:01:35
they hired EL James's husband
1:01:38
to write the script. Oh, whoa Both
1:01:41
scripts because they shot two and
1:01:43
three back-to-back. They did not care
1:01:45
like Avengers Yeah, well,
1:01:48
this is the biggest this is the Lord of
1:01:50
the ring The big of
1:01:52
erotic nonsense these books
1:01:55
have been gigantic the trailers reviewed
1:01:58
more times than Star Wars The
1:02:00
Force Awakens, like it was in this thing
1:02:02
that was insane and the studio was like
1:02:05
did not commit to a sequel until The
1:02:07
first movie opened and made like 85
1:02:09
million dollars on the first weekend. So
1:02:11
they're oh shit We got
1:02:13
to finish these like they already had three and
1:02:16
so then they rushed them into production to get them
1:02:18
out So it's an interesting
1:02:21
thing. But e.l. James his husband or e.l. Whatever
1:02:23
wrote these things who had their hand up over? Yes.
1:02:25
Okay. Yes. All right. What's your question? So
1:02:28
y'all have yet to comment on the fact
1:02:30
that she took her panties off while at
1:02:32
a restaurant Jason I know germs are not
1:02:34
your thing. So I'd like to know how
1:02:36
you would for knowing that of course I'd
1:02:39
like to know how you would react and I
1:02:41
must add I took these notes on my old
1:02:43
company's letterhead. So Do
1:02:46
you want to shout the company out? Yeah,
1:02:49
I companies I thought she did a pretty
1:02:52
good subtle job of it, but like I
1:02:55
Was like if I looked I would be the person
1:02:57
who would be like Yeah,
1:03:03
you know what I have to say, you know what I
1:03:05
had to say when I saw that try doing that in
1:03:08
pants lady, okay Then
1:03:10
I'll be impressed then I'll be impressed when you
1:03:12
can do that in pants He
1:03:16
pulled up boxer breeze I I Would
1:03:19
have loved it if this movie had
1:03:21
transitioned into being and like a Zucker
1:03:24
brothers movie like air long
1:03:26
underwear By
1:03:30
the way save it we could make a whole parody series.
1:03:32
Um, I I was a little
1:03:35
confused I'm
1:03:37
gonna open myself up to be idiot But
1:03:39
maybe I was fucked stupid. Did he do it? Well,
1:03:41
what was he doing in the elevator? I was just
1:03:43
gonna say he asked her to take them off so
1:03:46
that he could finger her in the elevator Right,
1:03:48
but I mean everybody she is I don't
1:03:51
get the angles that I don't get close
1:03:53
Elevator cuz he would ask it kind of like
1:03:55
well, he's doing one of these he's doing one
1:03:58
of these like but it's like really He's
1:04:00
like, all right, he's like... He does the old... No,
1:04:02
no, I'm done with that. Yeah. He does one of
1:04:04
those. That's why he needs to
1:04:06
be on the pommel horse to get those angles.
1:04:10
But I think why
1:04:12
you thought it was confusing, Paulie, is because you
1:04:14
assumed everybody in the elevator heard... Sucking
1:04:19
in those fingers like a jet engine. But
1:04:24
she is actively music. And
1:04:29
everybody must be like, what the fuck is
1:04:31
going on? Well, even at the start of
1:04:34
it, when he goes down to tie his
1:04:36
shoe, that one lady is like, why hear
1:04:38
her? You know? Well, then let
1:04:40
me ask... All right, then I'm
1:04:42
going to continue to ask my dumb questions to
1:04:44
the people who are very active about the... Can
1:04:46
I ask... I'm starting to interrupt you, Paul.
1:04:48
Do you think he asked her to take
1:04:50
off her panties in the restaurant knowing that
1:04:52
he was going to finger her in the
1:04:54
elevator later? Yes. Yes.
1:04:58
By the way, he's fucking
1:05:00
lame. Don't
1:05:02
plan it all out like that. Let
1:05:04
there be surprise and discovery. This is
1:05:06
what I thought was happening. And
1:05:09
again, I'm revealing myself here because I trust you
1:05:11
all. I thought he was pulling
1:05:13
a hunchback of Notre Dame thing where he's
1:05:15
kind of pulling... I'm sorry, what now? I
1:05:19
thought he was doing a hunchback of Notre Dame
1:05:21
thing where... or Notre Dame, where he's doing... where
1:05:23
he's going to kind of pull on the bells.
1:05:26
Like... On the ball? What? The
1:05:30
balls. The Kegel balls. Oh! I
1:05:32
was like, wow,
1:05:35
there's a lot more going
1:05:37
on down there than I
1:05:39
thought. I thought
1:05:42
he was like... Well,
1:05:44
you're right. You're
1:05:46
right in the sense that when she's in
1:05:48
the red room, she does pick up like
1:05:51
a bell that is on like a cat's...
1:05:53
you know, there is a bell, but no,
1:05:55
no, I don't... There's
1:05:58
two of them in there and it's thinkers. I
1:06:00
think he's singing the bell. Oh my
1:06:02
god. Was
1:06:04
that leaving the restaurant? That
1:06:07
was in the elevator going up to his apartment,
1:06:09
which seemingly was a long elevator ride. And
1:06:12
he seems, oh, I don't know who was above
1:06:14
him. Yes. Hi. Hi. What's your question? Hi. Hi,
1:06:16
um, I might- Hold the mic. Okay,
1:06:18
thank God. My
1:06:21
question is we haven't really talked
1:06:23
about how the charity event was
1:06:25
for parents of drug- or
1:06:28
parents that were drug addicts.
1:06:30
Right. And
1:06:32
it was also a sexy ball, so. Well,
1:06:35
you know, look, you can help out kids and also
1:06:37
have a good time, right? I mean, you know, I
1:06:39
forget I wrote down the name of the charity. It
1:06:41
was like- Do we feel like the charity has anything
1:06:43
to do with Christian Grey? Oh, wait a minute. He's
1:06:45
told us 30,000 times that his mother was
1:06:47
a crack addict. I
1:06:50
guess that's his heart? What he says is, my
1:06:53
mother is a crack addict. You know how it goes.
1:06:55
Like, well, no, let's look at some- Like,
1:06:58
you know, she could be a- I mean, I guess there's not functioning crack
1:07:00
addicts. When she says that you've never
1:07:02
told me that before and he says, I told you when
1:07:05
you were asleep. Yeah. When
1:07:08
you were asleep. Oh, I can't wait
1:07:10
till I have a relationship and I
1:07:12
can use that one. What
1:07:14
do you mean? I told you you were just
1:07:17
asleep. The ultimate
1:07:19
gas- You're fault for not being awake. Of
1:07:22
course I told you. You were just sleeping. Hey,
1:07:26
how you doing? What's your name? Nick. Nick,
1:07:28
what's your question? In the
1:07:30
first movie, Jose says that I just got-
1:07:32
my art's gonna be shown at the Portland
1:07:34
Place. And
1:07:36
I'm wondering if the gallery at the beginning of
1:07:38
this movie is the Portland Place. Oh,
1:07:41
so this is how close the first two movies are
1:07:43
together or is- I thought this is like maybe later
1:07:45
on. I didn't think that his
1:07:47
art was gonna be shown in more than one spot. Good
1:07:52
call. I'm more wondering if that- Savage-
1:07:54
Savage dig on Jose's heart. I have
1:07:56
a question about the first one. Is
1:07:59
Jose- Is Jose in love with
1:08:01
her a little bit too? OK. So in
1:08:03
the first movie, he's her friend, and then
1:08:06
he makes a pass, an aggressive pass at
1:08:08
her. I only understood that because at the
1:08:10
end of the movie, when he's announcing that
1:08:12
they're getting married, he gives the best face.
1:08:16
It really does tell the whole story
1:08:18
of the first movie and their relationship.
1:08:20
Because he goes, huh, huh. Jose,
1:08:23
give me a question. By the way, that was great. Thank
1:08:25
you. Yes, your question. Name
1:08:27
is John. My question is, did you guys catch
1:08:29
the Vin Diesel reference in the film? Ooh, tell
1:08:31
us. Where is it? Well, throughout the movie, while
1:08:34
they're fucking in the bedroom, one
1:08:36
of the last shots is the
1:08:38
wall they haven't shown. And on the
1:08:40
wall, there's a Chronicles of Riddick poster.
1:08:42
What? Oh, I can't see that. That
1:08:45
was fucking crazy. Because what was so
1:08:48
crazy? What are you fucking talking about?
1:08:50
Oh my god. This is so incongruous
1:08:52
to everything in his life. He lives
1:08:54
in a stainless steel apartment, but he's
1:08:57
like, like Chronicles of Riddick. Wait, that's
1:08:59
a Christian Grey's apartment? I was really
1:09:01
hoping you were going to say. His
1:09:05
bedroom, right? Oh, his child. OK. It's
1:09:07
in his childhood bedroom. So that only
1:09:10
serves to prove to me that Christian
1:09:12
Grey is a fucking idiot. And
1:09:16
when she should walk into the room and be
1:09:18
like, Chronicles of Riddick, I'm done. Done. You're
1:09:21
dumped. I'm out of here. Because
1:09:23
if that's your taste, you're out of your
1:09:25
mind. We know he's a sadist. So
1:09:27
obviously, we have an opinion about this
1:09:30
movie. But there are
1:09:32
people out there with a different opinion. It is
1:09:34
now time for Second Opinion. My
1:09:37
name is Ian. Yeah.
1:09:44
You're all his, girl. But you know it don't
1:09:47
matter, because you know he's going to stock you
1:09:49
anyway. You can rely
1:09:51
on all his money. You can rely on
1:09:53
all his money. It's a great film. And
1:09:55
I'm going to review it, because I'm going
1:09:58
to be a five star fan. down.
1:10:02
That's it. That was
1:10:06
amazing. Just for you know,
1:10:08
great work. No
1:10:10
one volunteered for a song. He took a
1:10:12
bullet for us all. That was amazing. Great
1:10:14
job. That's deeply impressive. That's
1:10:17
how it's done short and sweet.
1:10:19
Yeah. With a big old mustache.
1:10:21
44,000 reviews. No. For
1:10:24
this movie. I never
1:10:28
read them all read them all
1:10:30
read them. All right, let's do
1:10:32
it. But that's
1:10:34
a significant decline because the first movie had
1:10:36
75,000 reviews. So this is 44,000 reviews on
1:10:39
Amazon. 82% are
1:10:43
five stars. So this is actually higher five
1:10:46
star rating than the last one. It's an
1:10:48
it's empire, baby. So
1:10:50
this is from I would have loved it
1:10:52
if Christian Grey had ended this movie
1:10:55
frozen in carbonite. I
1:10:59
did write in my notes that I wish he died in the
1:11:01
helicopter crash. Please go. I still
1:11:03
want to understand how he got those fireworks
1:11:06
to go off exactly right because he didn't
1:11:08
cue anybody. Like unless he was wearing a
1:11:10
wire or something. Alright, so Gabe writes this
1:11:13
bought this from my wife. She's
1:11:15
now watched it like seven times. This
1:11:18
is not a movie about sex. It's
1:11:20
about character traits, environmental behavior impacts
1:11:22
on the human mind and the
1:11:25
needs which are derived from such
1:11:27
impacts as both a
1:11:29
sociologist and a clinical behavioralist.
1:11:32
Having practiced for over a decade in
1:11:35
the clinical setting and over three decades
1:11:37
within field work, I can say the
1:11:39
characters are much more realistic than many
1:11:41
may realize. Watching from
1:11:44
this perspective makes the movie much more
1:11:46
complete as an experience. Well, extremely well
1:11:48
done. This is not about
1:11:50
sex. It's about so
1:11:52
much more. Sex is
1:11:55
a byproduct. The title
1:11:58
watch for the human behavior. perspective and
1:12:00
look for a deeper point. Much to
1:12:03
be gained. Excellent writing, directing, and acting.
1:12:05
Five stars. Okay. I'm
1:12:09
an abolitionist but march
1:12:11
him directly to jail.
1:12:13
If my therapist ever said
1:12:15
that they wrote reviews of
1:12:17
things on Amazon, I
1:12:20
would lose my mind. This person's license should be revoked.
1:12:25
Three decades of field
1:12:27
experience? Where? Kristen
1:12:32
Allen or Chrissy as she writes. Thank
1:12:34
God we have her full name. And
1:12:37
nickname. And nickname. Right. Movie is definitely
1:12:39
darker. It's best to go back and
1:12:41
watch the first one so everything makes
1:12:44
sense. Otherwise you'll be in the dark
1:12:46
or interrupting the movie to ask questions
1:12:48
which can get bothersome after a while.
1:12:50
I guess
1:12:52
that's maybe a note to someone she watched this movie with.
1:12:55
There is a lot of sex in
1:12:57
it but I expect that from this movie.
1:13:00
It will make you both want to get
1:13:02
something hot started so
1:13:04
that's just a little warning for you. If
1:13:06
you don't know anything about sex before
1:13:08
watching this movie you will learn something
1:13:11
by the end. I wonder what? Definitely
1:13:15
a girls night or date night
1:13:17
or maybe pick up some tips
1:13:19
and tricks kind of movie. The
1:13:23
title? Make you want a dot
1:13:25
dot dot five star. And that was
1:13:31
such a passive-aggressive review. It
1:13:34
really was. And this was my favorite one
1:13:36
from Brenda. Brenda's name
1:13:39
is Brenda I gave it a five. And
1:13:43
Brenda I gave it a five. The
1:13:46
title is Not for
1:13:48
Teenage Children. Found
1:13:51
out the hard way. My
1:13:53
granddaughter accidentally ordered this
1:13:56
and of course was not allowed to watch it.
1:13:58
She didn't know it was a movie. was
1:14:00
about they didn't get my money back either and
1:14:03
I guess it was our fault for
1:14:05
ordering it not for teenage
1:14:07
children five stars wait how
1:14:10
is it how is that a five-star
1:14:12
review because it arrived
1:14:15
on time she
1:14:17
did not accidentally order that oh my
1:14:20
god no way that
1:14:22
granddaughter accidentally I accidentally googled men
1:14:24
kissing when I was nine years
1:14:26
old come on I swear to
1:14:28
God guys I rented it this
1:14:31
weekend I tried to watch it but my mana found
1:14:33
it and said I couldn't I
1:14:36
I've been going to one-star reviews too because
1:14:38
I I just want to see what's going on
1:14:40
and Michelle Dennis wrote this it's
1:14:43
pretty clear that EL James had
1:14:45
all these fantasies in her head and she was
1:14:47
just dying to share them with the world but
1:14:50
it didn't sit well with her so she
1:14:52
had to spin it in a way to
1:14:54
make it look like a moral lesson or
1:14:56
an explanation for people's bedroom behavior the only
1:14:58
reason her books made the bottom shelf of
1:15:00
the grocery store is because we're in a
1:15:02
climate that shames everyone in order to justify
1:15:04
stripping people of their privacy and her juvenile
1:15:07
fantasy books are yet another tool to point
1:15:09
out what needs to be shamed what a
1:15:11
hypocrisy if you're gonna play rough
1:15:13
with your consenting partner own it don't
1:15:16
make up excuses and act ashamed of
1:15:18
your twisted fantasies EL James
1:15:22
no
1:15:26
one's really taking it to the EL James would
1:15:29
you recommend this
1:15:31
movie absolutely no
1:15:34
you know I'm in for a penny in for a pound yep
1:15:36
I'm in having now
1:15:38
watch last night's and tonight's I'll
1:15:41
be honest none of this is good
1:15:43
this is a absolute nightmare to be
1:15:45
inside of I'm dreading my day tomorrow
1:15:47
can I that is a thing though
1:15:49
I would never recommend someone and even
1:15:51
having watched it three times of my
1:15:53
own volition I am weirdly
1:15:55
curious to see oh I can't wait I
1:15:58
can't wait I'm in I'm all All
1:16:00
in. I'm curious, you guys are
1:16:02
enormously into the movie, yes? Well,
1:16:05
I read the book. Okay.
1:16:07
Okay. I do not even touch
1:16:09
what the movie is like. Give us, like, can
1:16:11
you give us like two or three little highlights that
1:16:13
you wanna say you wish X had made it in?
1:16:15
Hold on, let me get. I'm gonna read you the
1:16:18
last movie. She's loud enough. She's getting close. I'm not
1:16:20
getting that close. She's loud
1:16:22
enough, it's okay. I read the movie when they were in the
1:16:24
same thing and actually wrote a movie as them, which is
1:16:27
like, he did the shit out of it. Oh, that makes more sense,
1:16:29
okay. At
1:16:35
the end of the first movie, yeah, yeah. Don't
1:16:40
spoil it. No, no, no, no, no, no. No spoilers. No
1:16:43
spoilers. Will you be here tomorrow night?
1:16:45
Will this role be here tomorrow night? You're
1:16:50
invited. It
1:16:53
feels like a Christian Grey scenario. I
1:16:56
just was here submissive. I
1:16:59
feel like you're the Christian Grey, though. Yeah, all
1:17:01
right, well, I wanna quickly just, quickly
1:17:03
just go around real quick. What do you think is gonna happen in the third
1:17:05
one? Oh, oh, wow,
1:17:07
wow. I mean, now
1:17:09
that it's been introduced, again,
1:17:12
the first movie, Joel, you'll be shocked
1:17:14
to find out has no thriller elements,
1:17:16
nothing but like sexual discovery. So now
1:17:18
that there's been gunplay and helicopter crashes
1:17:20
and all the rest, I'm assuming there's
1:17:22
gonna be like murder? We're definitely gonna
1:17:25
have a murder. And my prediction is
1:17:27
that somehow Kim Basinger might need to
1:17:29
be the big bad, like what you
1:17:31
were saying, like maybe she murders.
1:17:33
She's gonna get shot. Or gets murdered, you think? I
1:17:35
think she's gonna get shot. I think we're gonna
1:17:37
see babies. I think there's gonna be a time jump.
1:17:39
Whoa, how many, like what do you
1:17:41
think, 40 years? It's
1:17:45
gonna end like Harry Potter. We're gonna see
1:17:47
their kids doing S&M. Like
1:17:53
Muppet babies. Harry.
1:17:55
Sorry if I'm not good but they're gonna be aliens.
1:17:57
So wait forals. Will be gotta be.
1:18:03
50 shades of baby. That's
1:18:07
the t-shirt. And it says Nana
1:18:09
stocking. You just see
1:18:11
the teagull balls hanging out from the... I
1:18:18
think that Jack is going to kidnap her.
1:18:21
Okay. And I think he's going to have
1:18:23
to put together a team. Diaper
1:18:27
guy. Ross. Piss guy. It's
1:18:29
an eventual play guy. It's
1:18:33
an eventual play guy. It's an
1:18:36
eventual team of all kink people. Yeah,
1:18:38
kinksters. I'm into it. Put together
1:18:40
a kinkster team. Anal fister. I love it. The
1:18:43
expendables. That's what the fisters call these. Captain
1:18:45
cock and ball torture. Nipple clamps. Get over
1:18:47
here. All right. I bet they
1:18:49
had nipples. I bet they had nipples. I bet they had. I
1:18:52
bet they had. I bet they had. I bet they had.
1:18:55
I bet they had. I bet they had. I
1:18:57
bet they had. I bet they had nipple clamps,
1:18:59
but they were only used on the finger. Sexy.
1:19:03

1:19:05
