But then his friends stopped vlogging. So eight hours a day he went on life. >> He had to drive his daughter to Agora Hills. >> [LAUGH] >> Asking for Galaxy. >> [LAUGH] >> There was a woman named Emily. >> Welcome back. This is going to be a really lit episode. We're actually recording this pretty early for podcast standards. >> We're heading out. >> I sent Jason Naveen and Natalie a gift yesterday. >> So nice, David. And the movie was spectacular. >> I told him to go watch the movie Digger. >> Yeah. >> Cuz I've seen it. >> Yeah. >> First off, I was apprehensive about seeing it. It's the apprehensive. Do you hear this shit? I'm just firing off. >> Oh my God, you're in flow state. >> Yeah, I'm in flow state. >> Whoa. [LAUGH] >> Guys, just get fucking ready. >> Guys, you pronounce one word correctly. >> That is flow state. >> But so far, I haven't pronounced anything wrong. >> No. >> I've chosen the wrong. >> It's been verb, verb, verb, verb, verb. >> I kind of started there. Anyway, there it is. So I was a little apprehensive about it because I thought it was going to be like one of those like indie movies. >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? Like a movie that's like trying to be like oh. >> This is taste, like this is what we, you know what I mean? >> I like this kind of movie. >> Is this something pretentious? >> Exactly, like some shit you'd like or some shit like the people your age would like that have seen way too many movies. >> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, doesn't have anything to do with age. People like our films, there's people, 20 years old, like our films. >> Yes. >> You know what I'm talking about. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> All kinds of people. >> Okay. >> I thought it was going to be like Hipster Town. >> Hipster Town, yeah. >> For a movie. >> Yeah. >> But the reason I saw it was like Tom Cruise is the opposite of Hipster Town. Tom Cruise is very commercial, like he's the king of commercial movies. >> Yes. >> So I'm like, maybe there's some hope here. And then I got bad reviews. And then I was like, I wonder if it's getting bad reviews because the hipsters are going into it wanting a hipster movie, but they're not getting it. They're getting commercial. They're going to slack with commercial. So I was like, okay, maybe I'll go. Maybe this is actually I'm going to like this. >> Yeah. >> And I loved it. >> And you love Tom Cruise. >> I love Tom Cruise. >> Yeah, you really do. >> He's my boy. >> Yeah, you're like Tom Cruise champion. >> Well, okay. >> Why I love Tom Cruise? >> Yeah. >> Do we talk about this on the last podcast? He came to the digger premiere, like- >> The digger premiere? >> Yeah. >> The digger premiere. >> No, we didn't talk about this. >> Okay, he went to the digger premiere like two hours earlier and spent two minutes with everybody. >> Yeah. >> Like all the fans standing outside and like would go up to each person and would have a conversation with him and would tell him how much he appreciates them being there. And like I'm saying this is like like what the way premieres work is there's like the time the staff comes and then the time the photographers get there and then influencers come like three hours before the actors come. But he got there like before even the influencers show up. Like he got there like really fucking early. >> That's cool. >> And he's all about it. >> When I've spoken to him, I've spoken to him like five times. >> Yes. >> I guess is a lot. >> Yeah. >> And I'm not saying it to sound like we're really good friends. I'm just saying that is the honest truth. He's spoken five times. And every time, do I think he remembers me? I don't know. >> Right. >> But he makes it seem like we've been like lifelong friends. Even when he FaceTime my mom, like my mom was like he was like staring right into me. Like he locked into me and he just, it felt like it was just me and him connecting. He's really, really fucking good at it. >> Yeah. >> He was good at like coming at you and talking to you. And there was one time where he flew me around after his, sorry, there's a helicopter as I'm saying this. So there's a helicopter sound effect in the background. There's one time we want to go. >> It's dumb. >> Yeah. >> And we know you're done with the pod Dave. >> I love the things you're saying. I'm always here. >> Like it would be right now dude. >> Come back with me. >> Just got having it in my house. But there was one time we had to go see him on the mission impossible set. And after he took me for a ride in his helicopter or just me and him and showed me this set, like flew around his side in his helicopter. Just me and him in his helicopter, no pilot. He's flying the thing. Me and Tom Cruise. >> Can you talk to him? >> Yeah, we're on the mic. >> You're on mics. >> Yeah, I'm asking him questions. >> What did you say? >> I'm not vlogging. I'm just like. >> What did you say? >> I'm just like, well, he loves movies. So like, shit. >> And that's great. >> Any question you give him, like, do you ever get tired of this? It's like, the second he starts talking, you're like, I'm an idiot for asking that question. >> Because he goes tired of this. This is, I love every single day of my life. And being able to make movies is such a blessing. And it makes sense. It all adds up. And then we're in the helicopter, flying around, he asked me about my mom. He's like, David, how's Christina doing? >> I'm like, I don't know if he's got an earpiece in his ear. I don't fucking know. I don't know if he's studied me five minutes before on the car ride over to the helicopter. And I don't care. Because that's how good he is at selling it. I don't care where he's getting the information from. It just feels fucking good to be with this big time movie star. And he genuinely feels like he cares about you. It's like really cool. Anyway, yeah, I'm a big time cruise fan. So yeah, when it's a digger, assuming it was going to be bad. And I think that's how you got to go into it. >> Okay. >> Because then it was really good. I really loved it. What did you guys think? Oh yeah, I bought them tickets. I said, you guys have to go see it, 10.30 a.m. I'm shocked you guys want. >> Yeah, me too. >> Crazy time to buy this. >> You guys have crazy time to go in. >> I was apprehensive of the time, 10.30 a.m. I've ever been to a 10.30 a.m. movie. >> It was the only IMAX AMC showing. >> It was all people like in rehab in there, I think. I don't know who goes to a fucking 10.30 movie. >> It was just coked out for us. >> Yeah, but it was brilliant. I thought it was like one of the most brilliant movies I've seen in a long, long time. >> Yeah, it was very good. It was very unique. Like the concept was very unique and interesting. >> So fucking good, it's so, it's so weighted in the right way. And he's going to, he's going to like win an Oscar for sure. >> 100%. >> Right. >> Nobody, did you like it? >> I loved it. Like I thought, like there are so many moments I was like, whoa, that's cool. And like I liked every single character. >> I'm not going to spoil anything because I feel like majority people have haven't seen this movie. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> But like when the tree falls down. >> Mm-hm. >> Yeah. >> How crazy is that? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Like that's, you're just like, what? >> Yeah. >> And then it loses you for a little bit, right? >> Yeah, yeah. >> Why do I? And then it comes back and you're like, oh, it's fucking kind of crazy. >> Yeah. >> It's really really. >> It's something big that happens and our friend was like, we're like, well tell us what the big thing is, that happens, he's like, I'm not going to tell you, then Naveen looked it up and then that actually helped us with the movie before. >> I think, yeah, I think going in, knowing because I watched Natalie and her sister be confused. Like, I think if you can take yourself out of the, like, I think you should watch it again. No way. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> I was able to appreciate the movie, I think more than other people in the theater because they were like, what's going on, where I could really like see what's going on. >> Well, you like skip to the end by doing that. >> No. >> Yes. >> It made me appreciate it more or else, I think I would have mentally like tuned out and been like, and- >> I agree. I can see someone going into the movie and not knowing anything about it. >> You have got to go and blind into this movie. I don't know what they're saying over here. >> I like it better, knowing. >> I think I like it more than you like it because I- >> No, no, no, no, no, no, the point of the movie, in my opinion, is to not like it for an hour. >> It's to be like four by an hour. >> I don't like that. >> No, no, no. >> I think- >> I liked it the whole way through. >> Oh, I don't know. >> Really? >> Okay, so what I really liked about the movie too, is it like, you were kind of touching it. You were like, it felt like weighted, but it also didn't feel like it was like trying to be like, it felt really like goofy. >> Yeah, yeah. >> It felt like they were just trying to have fun making this movie. And I don't know, it felt like a hipster movie with that was actually like not- what is that? Fuck, here it goes, I'm dumb again. Not snobby, but not pretentious. It wasn't pretentious. >> No, it wasn't pretentious. >> But it's skinned like a pretentious movie, right? It looks from the outside, it looks like, oh, this is going to be like this like snooze fast stuff. >> I don't know, no, I just thought- >> I guess you don't look at movies like that because you actually like those movies. >> I like those movies. >> Yeah, it's so right. >> But it wasn't like that kind of- >> No, it was not. >> It's a big- >> It's just fun. >> Blockbuster kind of movie. >> This set design was like really cool. That was like my favorite. >> Yeah, and I think you have to see it in IMAX. >> You know what? You made a stink about going to IMAX because I texted you, I was like, I'm going to go to Maronite at 730 and then David text me back and say, no, you're not. There is no 730. It's like you mean 1030 and I was like, Jesus, this guy's really crazy about a digger. And then he sent me the tickets and then he sent me the funniest fucking text I've gotten in a long time, Natalie. He sent me a text- >> His last night? >> Yeah, I told him in the afternoon that we would go on Saturday and then he sent me the weirdest text he was like, you should probably invite Natalie. I think she's been feeling a little lonely and I was like, and I was like, I had to look at the text and be like, David, because you know, my eyes aren't so good, I'm like, is this one of my more caring friends? >> That's really funny. >> Who is? Does someone have David's phone? >> I was kind of going off digger humor there. >> That's funny. >> Why? >> I don't know, because he was like a joke, but it wasn't. >> Uh-oh, uh-oh. >> Were you feeling lonely? Like, try it again.
It's just so she sees the movie. Yeah, I think he was just trying to like bait you together. It's like a lot of things I was like, he could take it out. I don't think so. No, no, no. I was like a funny way of you I was like, what's the easiest way I could express to him that Natalie should really come and I was like, I was just tell her She's lovely. Oh my god in my mind. I was like, oh, Natalie needs us Because then I grouped you guys. Yeah, I didn't want to like be like, hey, I heard you're lonely Anyway, I max Because it was worth it because of the set design and like yeah, you're right. Yeah, when they're in the courtroom or whatever Yeah, it's fucking so cool. Yeah, how big it is. I do think if I watch the movie at home Yeah, like that movies if you walk out of the movie for 10 minutes to go use a bathroom at the wrong part Like when the tree falls down if you're not there for that moment. Yeah, and then you come back and then you ask your friend what happened? He'll be he'll explain it to you and you'll be like what are you talking about? Because it's so confusing. Yeah, so like you really have to lock in so Hey, you don't put your a large drink is how much a large drink is yeah, like eight bucks. Nope more. Yeah 13 dollars 955. Oh, and then the woman goes Are you a stubs member? I go no she goes and then I walked away and then I went back and I go did you say it was 955? She goes, yeah, I go. What if I was a stubs member? How much would it be and she goes? 905 I was like, oh, okay put those points are counting towards something towards what you got like free movies. You got like one free. I already have free movies. I have a stubs member What do you talk about oh? So there you go you have 50 cents off and you already get free movies. What are you complaining about 955 for a soda? No, no, that's crazy. That's the same. I mean movies used to be 425 But I felt very I felt very like Important after seeing the movie like I felt like I saw something really important. In fact, I saw Which of the bathroom and I saw three like 12-year-old kids coming in going to see like I don't know Acme versus coyote or some dumb shit. I just kind of looked out. It's incredible. Huh? I heard it's incredible Yeah, but I just looked down on them. I was like you guys you didn't just just see like this thought provoking. It's really nice piece It's why it's not doing well. Yeah, because people just don't know people just don't know that's a good movie Yeah, I wonder how you see did you see the new ads for it? Yeah, it's so good So the new ads are like it'll show that it has a 54% on Ron tomatoes And then it'll cut into clips of Tom Cruise in his character going what the fuck fuck those people and it's like they're making They're yeah, they're they're they're they added all the negative reviews into the trailer and the teasers for the movie Yeah, I think it's so fucking cool. I've never seen a movie do that. I don't know I'm like really dick-riding this fucking movie hard But I just feel like it's just I saw comments someone was like Holly would never make original movies and then they make they finally make an original movie and then everyone shits on it. Yeah Just kind of funny. This is like an original movie. It's fun to watch and I think it's like such a fucking banger I think I could just be getting old and this is what I want. Maybe I'm turning into you. Maybe But who knows I'm there. I'm yeah, who directed that, you know, I don't know if you're out to No, it's for ought to yeah, no. Hey, thank you so much for the fine words. I'm glad you enjoyed my feelings What is nose for ought to the devil? No, it's yeah, it's Dracula. Oh, Dracula. I only know him SpongeBob Isn't there movie called nose for ought to yeah, they're I know he's a big character, but have you in SpongeBob There's a there's a scene where they're like at the Crusty Crab a little too late and someone keeps flickering the lights Yeah, and then they cut to the light switch and it's this vampire-looking guy Not even animated. He looks like real life. Oh, he's real life vampire. Yeah, and they go nose for ought to and that's it. That's the joke and I know him from that But other than that go watch digger. I'm so curious what you guys think dude We just talked about it for like fucking 20 minutes. I love it. I'm really sorry. We were a little late. Yeah, and also I don't like Going to the theme park to see a movie. Wait timeout. Can we talk about that? Yeah, I Walked into the theme park. Yeah, explain that Universal the theme park is near us.

Yeah, yeah, so like when you're walking to the movie theater It's like you're walking through Times Square of mixed with Hollywood Boulevard mixed with six flags like it is a fucking experience and actually when we went to go watch a digger I was like talking to my friends. I was like yo I know we fucking hate parking, but like how cool is it that we go to see movies? This is the same as my car is in the out of my sister walking and I was like isn't it crazy people flying in all around the world to go to Universal Studios and we just go for the movie and this is our local suit like I Don't I'm not going here because I wanted to have a cooler universe like I go here because it's the closest thing to my house Yes, yeah, but it's a fucking crazy experience.

Oh, you're actually right I didn't like the first one, but I like the new one That is we're okay. I bite my and I like digger, which was almost kind of close to it, right? Yeah, it was all grays It was kind of back and forth though. I went from like color to not to cut. I don't know. Mm-hmm I really liked the the furio so on the second ad
Max got me going and then another another hot take I guess this could be the movie podcast another hot take that I have Well, I've kind of come around to it. Have you seen the into the spiderverse across the spiderverse animated the animated spider-man's? No Is that the one that got like horrible reviews? No, it had really good. No, it's got like the best superhero movie reviews of all time Oh, I'm thinking a madam way, I think yeah, yeah, man across the spiderverse is like Miles Morales the spider-man Okay, yeah, who's Miles Morales? He's he's like a cartoon character got it. Yeah, he's like the first black spot I don't know if he's the first but like he's like the black spider-man. Okay got it Um, and it's really I didn't like it either and then I started to really love it But that's kind of the same situation I had with Mad Max because I didn't really get it at first and then I was like, oh, this is Incredible. Hmm. Yeah, not a big dirt guy No, the director of jigger also directed the revenant and birdman, which also both one He won Oscars for both of those movies. Oh, I'm glad you said that. So I just wonder what directed. I was birdman so good I love bird man. You wish what? I'm glad I didn't know that before why? Isn't it feels too snooty? Yeah, it's like all your tries didn't feel snooty. No, and neither did birdman really? No, neither did evident He's just like a great director. He's like fucking top of his game, dude Yeah, but then once you hear like once you hear like Oscar nom, you know like it kind of it just changed your perspective I feel really right because it's like oh like this you're it's like I don't know if you go to a restaurant The chef is fucking the highest rated chef. You're not like oh, man The same I'm like oh fuck there's gonna be two pieces of leaves on this thing There's gonna be one fucking piece of beef covered in tartar really. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know either like those movies or you don't Yeah, you didn't like bird man. I don't I like I like fast food movies Right like I like like when you see the underdog like you see a movie from a director or whoever that's like not as well No, and then it's incredible. You're like oh fuck yeah, you want to like rally behind that person. Like this is just a different expectation It's so funny. I was thinking about digger like what if that movie was made like by like Like you know not Tom Cruise. Yeah, people I feel like lost their shit about it. You know, I mean people be really upset No, because it wouldn't be as good. I think they would like it more. No, no, I think people would like it more Oh, yeah, I mean if it came out of if it came out of like the obsession field like this crazy underdog Oh, people would be people would be hold it wouldn't the Oscar for best picture without a fucking doubt You know, I think people would be like this movie revolutionized what movies are the angles of cinematography No, I disagree. I think it takes someone like Tom Cruise to make it palatable at all Yeah, I mean Tom Cruise made it because if you're it's not Tom Cruise You're gonna be watching it like what the fuck's going on as Tom Cruise glazing podcasts That's all right really. Yeah, he's behind you. Yes. Yeah, he's got here. He just landed the chopper. I love you Dave He wants to oh wait, you know, he's on the phone. Oh, it's so fun. I know how Toby's doing. I think I want to go see it again Not ever thinking about not what we're talking about. No. No, I don't see movies twice. Okay. Sorry. I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't see it because you'll like it more the second time because you know, yeah, I'll be like Commer. I want to go see with somebody that hasn't seen the effect. That'll be fun. Yeah, yeah, you did John and Alex like it Yeah, everyone that we went with liked it. Oh, it's good. Which was really it didn't lose you for like last like 15 minutes. Your question is Taylor John and Alex ever disagree with you on the movie.

And you don't they liked hopper Mm-hmm. I could not get behind hopper. I don't know what that is. It's a new one. It's a new one This is it's this girl trying to save the environment, but but at the end of it She kind of burns down the whole town. Okay, it's just I was just like this is so kind of entertaining this girl Have you ever thought of a ending a friendship with someone because they didn't like the movie? I had a friend like that. Fuck there was there was right. Yeah, what is that? It's not what that would they don't like a movie. It's that when it feels like their opinion is isn't formed On their own.

And there was like an, there was like an Arkham spin-off. So it was just like the origin story of the Joker, like in prison. Oh wow. It should be so fucking cool. Yeah. But it was, it was a funny TikTok because it was like, and then he'll go do this stupid indie that's just for him. It'll flop. And then he'll come back. Right. But it is really interesting. Like Heath Ledger would have been like, I especially after the Joker would have been like the decaprio of like, oh my god. It would have been incredible. He'd be a new walkie. He's like a new walking phoenix. He's like a new like the guy when it comes to film. Okay. But what else now? The hangover and twilight. Okay.

It's like kind of taboo. But like, it's good. But Wolf of Wall Street is fucking really that good. And so is hanging over. And they shot hangover. You know, they shot in three weeks. Oh really? Yeah.
