Speaker 2: Hey everyone, Welcome to the Buck Brief. This episode, our
Speaker 2: special guest is Matthew Marsden, actor and filmmaker. You will
Speaker 2: know him, no doubt, from Blackhawk Down, which I have
Speaker 2: heard described by some of the most elite special operators
Speaker 2: of all time as the most accurate war movie they've
Speaker 2: ever seen, so at least modern war movie they've ever seen.
Speaker 2: Also from Rambo, the most recent Rambo movie with Sebesi Sterlone,
Speaker 2: as well as other films out there. Oh, the of
Speaker 2: course Atlas Shrugged. Right, weren't you in the Atlas Shrugged
Speaker 2: as well?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Man. How's it going, dude?
Speaker 2: How's life in Texas with your with your like fifty kids?
Speaker 3: Tell me what's going on?
Speaker 1: No, it's great. I mean I love it here. You know,
Speaker 1: the state is amazing. It feels it feels like freedom
Speaker 1: every day. You know. That's the great thing. It feels
Speaker 1: like freedom. And I don't have to like dodge homeless
Speaker 1: people in the streets. Yeah, so that's that.
Speaker 2: It's always I'm guessing you haven't missed La living all
Speaker 2: that much.
Speaker 1: No, you know, I miss I miss my friends out there.
Speaker 1: Although you know, nine families from my community moved out here,
Speaker 1: you know, from my close community moved out here, so
Speaker 1: they all moved to this area. But apart from that,
Speaker 1: now I don't miss it at all. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's really it's it's quite something. You really you don't
Speaker 1: realize how actually oppressive it is, you know, until you
Speaker 1: until you get out of it.
Speaker 2: You've never met you've never met my dog, Hey, ginger,
Speaker 2: come here, let's see if on the podcast here for
Speaker 2: a second.
Speaker 3: I guess people can only see her.
Speaker 2: They won't be able to hear her unless she starts barking,
Speaker 2: which would be bad.
Speaker 3: Do you have any dogs?
Speaker 1: I don't, you know. I have kids. I always say that,
Speaker 1: you know, a clean up enough poop every day from
Speaker 1: that from them. But we did recently have an acquisition
Speaker 1: of rabbits.
Speaker 3: You have under that.
Speaker 2: She's under my desk right now and now she's eating
Speaker 2: my feet because she's a puppy.
Speaker 1: Ow.
Speaker 3: But you've got rabbits. What are rabbits like as a pet?
Speaker 1: Well, you can always eat themless it goes wrong, right,
Speaker 1: I mean that's the bonus. But they're actually really sweet.
Speaker 1: They leave these lop eared rabbits and they just kind
Speaker 1: of sit down. They look fluffy, and that's about it.
Speaker 1: And that's what I wanted. I didn't want anyone like,
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, my kids cause enough terror
Speaker 1: and chaos in this house for me to have, you know,
Speaker 1: throw an animal in the mix. That would just be
Speaker 1: not very smart at all. So so yeah, I'm just
Speaker 1: just kids.
Speaker 2: So see, I have an Australia. I have an Australian Labradoodle,
Speaker 2: so I would like to think that she has a
Speaker 2: cool accent like you, even though technically she was born
Speaker 2: in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: So right, Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that
Speaker 1: was Australian Shepherds are actual the American dogs. But you know,
Speaker 1: my sister has like a double doodle I think it's called,
Speaker 1: and it does look like a giant toy, like a
Speaker 1: giant like kind of animated toy. It's amazing, good looking dog.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I had a Rottweiler a few years ago
Speaker 1: because that was in my family. While he was in
Speaker 1: my family, but it's it's just not practical with all
Speaker 1: these kids. You know, like I said, they cause enough.
Speaker 1: You know, I always say that my kids should actually
Speaker 1: be drafted into the army because it'd be great to
Speaker 1: have like the Marsden Battalion and just drop them into
Speaker 1: areas where they can just destroy stuff, you know, just
Speaker 1: come in, just wreck the place. And my kids are
Speaker 1: really good at doing that.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: We have the have you seen the new Star Wars
Speaker 2: lady who is going to be directing and what I'm
Speaker 2: talking about, and she has got this thing about how
Speaker 2: she wants to make men uncomfortable. Tell me what is
Speaker 2: your what is your analysis of how Disney can risk
Speaker 2: even one of the most valuable franchises they have.
Speaker 1: Well, I think part of the issue is people don't
Speaker 1: understand like how deep the indoctrination goes, right, how deep
Speaker 1: it is. Part of the issue is they have absolute
Speaker 1: contempt for the audience, which in any other area, any
Speaker 1: of the sphere, you'd be in a situation where you
Speaker 1: would never ever say anything like that. I mean, can
Speaker 1: you imagine like Nike coming out I mean, I know
Speaker 1: they did it kind of with a kaepenic thing, but
Speaker 1: can you imagine someone coming out and saying, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: I want you to feel uncomfortable. And the funny thing
Speaker 1: is is the majority of people to watch those movies
Speaker 1: as well a men or at least boys, right, And
Speaker 1: so what you've got is identity politics just destroys everything.
Speaker 1: I know, you know that, but I mean, look, when
Speaker 1: I very first came into the entertainment industry, one of
Speaker 1: the main things that I was told, and I knew
Speaker 1: it anyway, because it's just common sense, is don't alienate
Speaker 1: your audience, right, don't go out there and give them
Speaker 1: any excuse not to like you and so and look,
Speaker 1: you know if the left haad and come for me,
Speaker 1: I would never have said anything as an aptit to
Speaker 1: kept a down low, you know, kept on the download,
Speaker 1: because you don't want to alienate people. What they're doing
Speaker 1: all the time, they show contempt. It's so weird. And
Speaker 1: this is what I've been saying to a lot of
Speaker 1: conservative don is it's actually an opportunity because they're not
Speaker 1: making good movies anymore. They're not making movies that have
Speaker 1: really great storylines with anyone, with things that characters can overcome, right,
Speaker 1: which is that the old you know, the tried and
Speaker 1: tested a model for stories on the whole. You know,
Speaker 1: you have a person there's to have become these obstacles
Speaker 1: and then they become better for it. Well, what Disney
Speaker 1: has done, Disney, Marvel and Star Wars underneath that banner
Speaker 1: is all they have now is a bunch of girl
Speaker 1: bosses that are just perfect in every way, shape or
Speaker 1: form and way better than men. And they don't overcome anything,
Speaker 1: they don't learn anything, they don't move forward. They're not
Speaker 1: better for it. They're just massively overpowered. And part of
Speaker 1: the reason buck is they're doing diversity hires, right, They're
Speaker 1: not hiring people because they're good anymore. It shouldn't matter, right,
Speaker 1: it shouldn't matter how good. And you know, people say,
Speaker 1: well she won like that particular director one two short
Speaker 1: documentary Oscars, Well, let me tell you I've made two documentaries.
Speaker 1: I produced one and the other one that it didn't
Speaker 1: end up going out is they're two very very different
Speaker 1: animals to motion pictures. Right. So, but you have to
Speaker 1: ask yourself, why are they hiring these people? And why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you fire someone that will come out and say
Speaker 1: I want men to feel uncomfortable as a human being.
Speaker 1: Why would you want that anyway? But why would you
Speaker 1: want to filmmaker to do that. I don't understand it.
Speaker 1: I don't understand number one on a business level and
Speaker 1: number two on an actual personal level. Why would you
Speaker 1: so imagine you're an actor. They're going to be male
Speaker 1: actors in this film. And that woman just turned around
Speaker 1: and said, I want men to feel uncomfortable. So the
Speaker 1: actors are they're going to feel like, oh no, no,
Speaker 1: not then, because they're special. Okay, what about the cinematographer
Speaker 1: as well? No, not then. Okay, So your statement's ridiculous
Speaker 1: on the face of it, and he shows that you
Speaker 1: don't have any kind of whatever. However, she's however, while
Speaker 1: she's done in the past, there's clearly a bias in
Speaker 1: there that's going to influence her filmmaking, and I don't
Speaker 1: see how it's going to be good at all.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, well, I want to talk to you about
Speaker 2: the movie that you're making, by the way, which I'm
Speaker 2: sure is going to be very good or you're going
Speaker 2: to be a part of.
Speaker 3: I should say, are you making it, are you in it?
Speaker 2: Or both?
Speaker 1: It's done, it's done, it's done. Done.
Speaker 2: Ah, this is what we call tease in the business.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to this in a second. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: first from our sponsor, is there a change coming to
Speaker 2: the US dollar this year? Former Wall Street insider Tiketchwari
Speaker 2: still very much of the belief that it could and
Speaker 2: will happen this year. He thinks the biggest risk to
Speaker 2: Americans is not a spreading war in Ukraine or the
Speaker 2: Middle East, but the security of the US dollar. He's
Speaker 2: so adamant on this point that he's published a video
Speaker 2: online with all the details, including how you can prepare
Speaker 2: and how you can actually prosper from this.
Speaker 3: So what do you have to do?
Speaker 2: Well, if you want to listen to ticket Swari, go
Speaker 2: to move your cash now dot com to learn the
Speaker 2: three steps you need to take to protect and grow
Speaker 2: your wealth in the coming months and year. That's Move
Speaker 2: your Cash now dot Com. Or you could end up
Speaker 2: holding a bunch of dollars that aren't work what you think.
Speaker 2: They are paid for by Palm Beach Research Group. Go
Speaker 2: check it out today. All right, tell us about this movie.
Speaker 1: Well, I can't say too much about it because I'm
Speaker 1: under an NDA, but it is let's put yes, sneaky,
Speaker 1: but the audience of your your audience is going to
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. It's basically based on a true story
Speaker 1: of corporate corruption in an area that you we might
Speaker 1: have had certainly for me, I might have had some
Speaker 1: controversy over the past couple of years. But but let's
Speaker 1: put this Andy Wakefield, doctor Andy Wakefield directed the film,
Speaker 1: so that should give you some kind of an idea
Speaker 1: if you know anything about his history, and he's he's
Speaker 1: an amazing guy, absolutely amazing guy. So yeah, I'm hoping
Speaker 1: that it's going to shed some light on some areas
Speaker 1: that we seem to have just moved on from that
Speaker 1: we haven't really explored, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Amazing movie, vague, vague, not read in on this for
Speaker 2: everyone yet, you know, Secret Squirrel, YadA ya, but going
Speaker 2: to be amazing put Secret Squirrel.
Speaker 1: I like this, it's gonna be amazing film.
Speaker 3: But probably the best.
Speaker 2: Where some people are saying the best movie that Matthew
Speaker 2: Marsden's ever made. He's a great guy, Marsden, fantastic, you know,
Speaker 2: like amazing guy, Like maybe gonna work for me one
Speaker 2: day in the White House.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Even people that don't do impressions of Trump have a
Speaker 2: Trump impression because he is so emblazoned.
Speaker 3: Into the minds of the American people.
Speaker 2: Now, like you just you start thinking like, probably the
Speaker 2: best you know, he's he's he's amazing. Some people are
Speaker 2: saying yes, yeah, like Chris Walkin, right, what's the last
Speaker 2: you know? Christopher Walken is also a very unique character
Speaker 2: and has uniquecharacteristics. So Matthew, let's talk to this general movies.
Speaker 2: I I went to a movie recently and first Soul's
Speaker 2: Ferrari and I hated it.
Speaker 3: But I don't know if you've seen Ferrari. I thought
Speaker 3: it was I thought it.
Speaker 2: Was shockingly horrible movie given the subject matter, which should
Speaker 2: be fascinating and really interesting, and it was just garbage.
Speaker 2: And I'm not anti Adam Driver either, some people just
Speaker 2: don't like him as an actor. I think he's good
Speaker 2: in some things, not good in other things. But it
Speaker 2: was it was a crappy movie. But this thing of
Speaker 2: thirty minute long intros now of commercials and trailers. I
Speaker 2: I tweeted this out of the day. I was like,
Speaker 2: it's like the it's like the movie theater industry is
Speaker 2: tired of dying slowly and so now it's just having
Speaker 2: a pillow smothered over its face. And people are like, wow,
Speaker 2: that really seems to be true, like I'm never going back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean it's it's uh. I just look
Speaker 1: for mainly the people like us especially have families, professionals
Speaker 1: like we don't have time to sit there and sit
Speaker 1: through all those ads. And you know, I do understand
Speaker 1: that the movie industry has really been hit hard in
Speaker 1: the theaters, especially over the past few years, and they're
Speaker 1: really struggling. It's a wonder any of them are still
Speaker 1: still operating, to be honest, I mean, you know, but
Speaker 1: that a lot of them now are saying I don't
Speaker 1: want to go through distributors anymore. I want to go
Speaker 1: directly to the filmmakers, which would be which would be
Speaker 1: a really great development because those distributors are a lot
Speaker 1: of the gatekeepers, which is why you don't see a
Speaker 1: lot of movies that you want to see. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I want to go and watch a movie,
Speaker 1: especially when you know we have Netflix and you can
Speaker 1: just press a button. Or my airports are dying. Can
Speaker 1: you still hear me?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, keep going.
Speaker 2: We're almost We're almost at the you know what, me
Speaker 2: let me just say, let me say a word. A
Speaker 2: word from from our final sponsor so that way, if

Speaker 2: out with this.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you know what, they haven't been the many.
Speaker 1: I don't think there have been that many movies that
Speaker 1: have really like moved me in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 1: You know, it's sad that I don't really get excited
Speaker 1: about it. But I will tell you the one movie
Speaker 1: that I watch a lot, and I just think it's
Speaker 1: an absolute masterpiece. I mean, I did watch The Equalizer
Speaker 1: three last night. I did watch that. I love Denzel
Speaker 1: in everything that he does. I thought that was it.
Speaker 1: I thought the screenplay was a little bit modeled, but
Speaker 1: you know, you still like Denzel going kicking ass with
Speaker 1: all the bad guys. I like that. But my go
Speaker 1: to is nineteen seventeen. I just think it's Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I just think it's just an absolute masterpiece of a film.
Speaker 1: On every level, it's just brilliant.
Speaker 2: Matthew Mars did everybody continue to follow him, look for
Speaker 2: his great work, and talk to you again on the
Speaker 2: podcast next time.
