Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of M
Speaker 1: three Trend Unrated or meg trend on unrated, depending on
Speaker 1: you know, your persuasion, how you feel about how the
Speaker 1: title of that film is supposed to be pronounced. But
Speaker 1: I am Jack and I'm thrilled to be joined by
Speaker 1: our writer Jim mcnaw. Hello. Thanks for having me, Hey,
Speaker 1: thanks for being here. You have not watched Megan. We
Speaker 1: established before we started recording. It's one of the great
Speaker 1: shames in my life right now. Yeah, I haven't seen.
Speaker 1: I really do want to. It was one of those
Speaker 1: ones that I wanted to see in the theaters and
Speaker 1: it just it felt like it came and went so quickly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a blast. It really is a lot of fun,
Speaker 1: and it is trending today because they're unleashing. They're not
Speaker 1: just releasing their unleashing the unrated cut, which seems to
Speaker 1: focus on more gore. There is I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: which child Megan is not very used too in the movie,
Speaker 1: but they're in the child who you you root for
Speaker 1: her to kill at one point I won't say if
Speaker 1: she actually create, but so, and they show like multiple
Speaker 1: parts of that scene as the unrated so they're like,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get some real grizzly child killing. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: does seem like there's actually some gory stuff that they
Speaker 1: cut out of the movie in the script, because like
Speaker 1: remember then there used to be a time when DVDs
Speaker 1: would yeah, it would be like unrated, but it was
Speaker 1: just because they put in a scene that the MPAA
Speaker 1: never saw. So it's like technically was unrated, but it's
Speaker 1: just because no one actually watched it and bother to rated,
Speaker 1: no payoff. Yeah, yeah, this this seems to be I
Speaker 1: can imagine it did not. I was surprised to learn
Speaker 1: that it was PG thirteen after the facts, so they
Speaker 1: did a good job with the editing. It implied a
Speaker 1: lot of things that you don't typically see in a
Speaker 1: PG thirteen film, right, Yeah, but yeah, yeah, I can't
Speaker 1: wait to watch it. Now. Do you do you think,
Speaker 1: based on having seen the original, should I wait and
Speaker 1: watch the unrated one when it comes out. I don't
Speaker 1: think you need to. I think it's just fine as is.
Speaker 1: That's a lot, right, And if if I didn't see
Speaker 1: m onegin or mugan um and the sounds what it
Speaker 1: sounds like a Swedish word, maybe it sounds like the
Speaker 1: thing they said in Street Fighter when they shoot yeah
Speaker 1: balls and um yeah no it's it really it kind
Speaker 1: of picks up you don't miss much. Although when you
Speaker 1: watch M. One Get and M. Tugan, you really get
Speaker 1: like the whole story, the whole picture, right, Yeah, epic,
Speaker 1: epic man Um. It is National Margarita Day. Yay. Love
Speaker 1: this for Jimmy Buffett. I love this for the margharita
Speaker 1: announcing itself as a drink that's not for Catholics. You
Speaker 1: know it's a right because this is this is ash Wednesday.
Speaker 1: I guess you're allowed to drink on ash Wednesday like
Speaker 1: Catholics drink during church, so you're probably too. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: that's not fully accurate. I just know a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of Catholics give up the booze for lunch.
Speaker 1: I I don't know that much about Catholicism, but I
Speaker 1: can't imagine that like making a blender full of margharita's
Speaker 1: is would mean the spirit of ash Wednesday. You put
Speaker 1: the ashes of dead things on your forehead. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: what a time. How will you be celebrating National Margarite
Speaker 1: a day? I guess you could. You could because there
Speaker 1: is like a sprinkling of salt around the rim. Maybe
Speaker 1: you just do an ash rim a margharita with an
Speaker 1: ash rim one way to catholic it up. I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do anything differently in my life other
Speaker 1: than the fact that I looked up Jimmy Buffett's Twitter
Speaker 1: to see what he was about it and nothing failure.
Speaker 1: That is unacceptable Jimmy Buffett's social media manager. The only
Speaker 1: justification I could think of was maybe it's because every
Speaker 1: day is national Margarita Dave in his life, right, he
Speaker 1: doesn't he doesn't discriminate. Um, yeah, was the last time
Speaker 1: you think he put on socks? I bet he's like
Speaker 1: had to wear shoes at like an event for like
Speaker 1: flip flops, but socks I bet he gave up on
Speaker 1: sometime in the eighties. Oh totally. Yeah, the man hasn't
Speaker 1: bought a sock since, you know, the Carter administration. Yeah,
Speaker 1: rip or not yet necessarily, I don't know, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that that is something that is kind of perpetually trending.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter, greatest ex president, pretty shitty president as he
Speaker 1: was doing it, and for all his left wing you know,
Speaker 1: cred was just a regular American president with like I
Speaker 1: think he invented the Delta Force. It was a you
Speaker 1: know right, you mean you mean the movie with Chuck Norris. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was pictured up that while he was That's why
Speaker 1: it wasn't very good. He was mainly working on some
Speaker 1: spec scripts for Cannon Films. Uh, for starring Chuck Norris. Um,
Speaker 1: all right, grand jury four person is trending. I mean
Speaker 1: it's not where this is a fiction. This whole show
Speaker 1: is a fiction, right, Like we make up phrases that
Speaker 1: are trending, but that thing regarding a grand jury four
Speaker 1: person is a trending. CBS News legal analyst Ricky Clement
Speaker 1: says it's inappropriate for the grand jury four person in
Speaker 1: the Trump Georgia investigation like into you know that that
Speaker 1: seems to be heading down a road of Yeah, they
Speaker 1: perjured themselves just like repeatedly, constantly the way that other
Speaker 1: people breathe. They perjured themselves. Um, they are now saying
Speaker 1: that because the grand jury four person was like talking
Speaker 1: about it, they're going to try and use that to
Speaker 1: challenge make it throw the whole thing out. So who
Speaker 1: knows if that's possible, But I'm always always get my
Speaker 1: spighty sense starts at tingling anytime it feels like Donald
Speaker 1: Trump or any white billionaire is going to get away
Speaker 1: consequence free for doing something blatantly illegal. I mean, what
Speaker 1: if there's no rule about that, Like jurors, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if grand juries are different, but like
Speaker 1: jurors are allowed to after the case is done, discuss
Speaker 1: it freely. No. Yeah, they are saying, she believes it
Speaker 1: will make no legal difference since Willis will make her
Speaker 1: own decision and a new grand jury will be seeded
Speaker 1: to issue any indictments. But Cores is prohibited from sharing
Speaker 1: any Cores is the grand jury. Poor person is prohibited
Speaker 1: from sharing any information from the special Grand Juries deliberation,
Speaker 1: and she does not appear to have done so. So
Speaker 1: it's just like, I mean, it gets very well. Could
Speaker 1: be them grasping at straws and just being like, please,
Speaker 1: don't do mean to us. So she's she's allowed to
Speaker 1: talk about the case as long as she doesn't talk
Speaker 1: about like the specifics of their deliberations, right, And they
Speaker 1: were like, she's talking, So that could be something I
Speaker 1: don't know, yeah, which is Trump's general legal strategy for
Speaker 1: life is just pointing things out and having his lawyers
Speaker 1: like file various suits regarding that motion. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll come back with some
Speaker 1: Pedro Pascal appreciation. Have you heard about this guy? Have
Speaker 1: you seen this this guy? He's a pretty hot right now.
Speaker 1: So we'll be right back, and we're back, and Pedro
Speaker 1: Pascal's everywhere. He was on SNL a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: He did just fine. I just watched his monologue. There
Speaker 1: was like a what if he was in a different
Speaker 1: video game adaptation for say Mario Kart sketch that was solid,
Speaker 1: And I just watched his monologue and it really feels
Speaker 1: like one of those monologues that they were just like, wow,
Speaker 1: Like just being in a room with him is cool.
Speaker 1: Let's just yeah, the thing that the story that he
Speaker 1: just told, what if he just did that? Because it's
Speaker 1: just like a story from his week that you get
Speaker 1: the sense that he just charmed the pants off every
Speaker 1: human being in thirty Rock And they were like, could
Speaker 1: you just like get up there and talk in a
Speaker 1: beautiful purple shirt? Yeah, totally. He's so charming. And I
Speaker 1: love it when they do monologues where it's just like
Speaker 1: chatting or telling stories. It's like it's somewhere in between
Speaker 1: like doing a big gimmick thing like a musical number
Speaker 1: or having Sometimes they have stand ups come out and
Speaker 1: then someone like hands them a microphone and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're just gonna do their their routine. Yeah, but he
Speaker 1: just comes out and talks and he's yeah, like he said,
Speaker 1: completely charming and funny and yeah. Yeah, everybody loves him.
Speaker 1: And he's been around for so long. Like I saw
Speaker 1: someone said the other day he was in like an
Speaker 1: episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Wow, that's how long
Speaker 1: he's been doing this. That's an old show. Yeah, apparently,
Speaker 1: so he's trending currently because one of the directors on
Speaker 1: the Last of Us said he wept during his emotional
Speaker 1: scenes and even when he wasn't filming, and just like
Speaker 1: when he was driving on to set, he was weeping.
Speaker 1: I think. I think what he's describing is he's going
Speaker 1: through something, maybe emotions. He just needs help. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: guy's always crying. It's amazing. I mean, you can't tell.
Speaker 1: But also in The Mandalorian he's always crossing just behind
Speaker 1: the helmet, weeping openly the whole time. I mean that
Speaker 1: makes sense it's such a Yeah, it's such a harrowing show.
Speaker 1: It seems appropriate for the for the show. But I
Speaker 1: guess it's like, yeah, for like, if they're doing a
Speaker 1: two shot with another actor, a lesser actor, would you know,
Speaker 1: be in his trailer while the Pedro Pascal stand in
Speaker 1: comes in and does the scene. But not only does
Speaker 1: he do the scene, but he like brings his A
Speaker 1: game and actually cries because he's a pro. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think it's probably very helpful for the
Speaker 1: person acting opposite to have the actual actor there bring
Speaker 1: the A game even when they're not on camera totally.
Speaker 1: I also was just served a March twenty nineteen video
Speaker 1: of him and Oscar Isaac reading like some phrases that
Speaker 1: are googled alongside their names. Um so they're they're old
Speaker 1: pals apparently, And yeah, Pedro Pascal seemed like a little drunk,
Speaker 1: like not necessarily like he was drunk, but like he
Speaker 1: was you know that like sometimes when you're like a
Speaker 1: little hungover and still a little drunk and you have
Speaker 1: a fun energy about you. That's kind of the vibe
Speaker 1: I guy from from the video. But the algorithm, it's
Speaker 1: not just what's trending because of the news. It's also
Speaker 1: what's trending. The algorithm knows the people crave Pedro Pascal,
Speaker 1: so they're just serving it up. I was I think
Speaker 1: I was watching NBA highlights for Miles and Jack got
Speaker 1: mad boosties, and it was just like, you know what,
Speaker 1: you probably want to see Pedro Pascal and Oscar Isaac
Speaker 1: from four years ago talking to one another, and they
Speaker 1: were right. The algorithm was right. Yeah, the algorithm was
Speaker 1: exactly right. Favorite Pedro Pascal performance for you? What are
Speaker 1: you going with? I don't know. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 1: a huge Game of Thrones fan, but I do remember
Speaker 1: like when he showed up in that show. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: just it brought me back into it because he was
Speaker 1: so charming and so like it's so it's probably not
Speaker 1: my fair because I'm I'm a huge fan of the show,
Speaker 1: but like like everybody that was like you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: that was his breakout performance. But I remember that just
Speaker 1: like elevating. Yeah, a show that I was kind of
Speaker 1: losing interest in. Yeah, one of these guys was like
Speaker 1: really handsome and like just fucked everything that moved and yeah,
Speaker 1: he was just liquid sexuality. What if we did that
Speaker 1: for a couple episodes. Well, he felt like an old
Speaker 1: movie star, you know, yeah, totally, yeah, he totally felt
Speaker 1: like yeah, just every every moment was just hitting the mark,
Speaker 1: just like the Perfect Ray of Sunshine was. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with Wonder Woman nineteen eighty four. Maybe not
Speaker 1: my favorite, but I think an underrated performance. He's very strange.
Speaker 1: He has no mustache in it, but it shows a
Speaker 1: little bit of his range because he's like just a
Speaker 1: like the most pathetic super hero movie villain that I've
Speaker 1: seen in it in a long while. He's just it's like,
Speaker 1: it really feels like a Gill from The Simpsons was
Speaker 1: his motivation. He's like, oh boy, oh man, that was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do almost Even though I didn't like that movie,
Speaker 1: I do all you kind of admire how strange it
Speaker 1: was to make a sea cool to like a you know,
Speaker 1: huge blockbuster superhero movie, and the sequel is like, well
Speaker 1: what if what if Donald Trump got a magic Wishing
Speaker 1: rocket eighty four? Yeah? All right, and a twenty four auction?
Speaker 1: This is something I wasn't aware of that you brought
Speaker 1: to my attention. But they occasionally auction off their props. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they they did it like it was maybe last year,
Speaker 1: the year before, I don't know, time has no meaning,
Speaker 1: but they did an auction. I remember, like the Midsummer
Speaker 1: May Queen dress was like the big thing. And yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think one of the like bejeweled furbies from
Speaker 1: Uncut Gems. Those are like the big items in the
Speaker 1: last Those are both really cool. Those both feel like
Speaker 1: they should be in the Academy Museum a little bit. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: But this one, I guess is mostly props from everything everywhere,
Speaker 1: all at once. Yeah, it's a real mixture. It's a
Speaker 1: real real grab bag. Like one of them is pile
Speaker 1: of receipts. There's just a pile of receipts with various
Speaker 1: things circled. Deer dres calculator. That is a calculator that
Speaker 1: I believe my parents had um and did our taxes
Speaker 1: on when I was a child. Right then you can
Speaker 1: also get laundry Delivery RV, which that's the hot dog
Speaker 1: hands obvious. Yeah, yeah, uh yeah, but yeah, the plug
Speaker 1: is huge. The Employee of the Month Award for Auditor
Speaker 1: of the Month for the I r S is a
Speaker 1: butt plug, funny, visual gag and useful to have around
Speaker 1: your house, you know, totally. Yeah, you can get that.
Speaker 1: You can get the actual Rakakuni prop. Yeah, that's something
Speaker 1: that's big. That's big, that's a you know, that's a
Speaker 1: conversation starter. Yeah, just put that in your living room.
Speaker 1: It's very strange. So A twenty four auctions they have.
Speaker 1: One of them is rock Verse Rock and it's just
Speaker 1: a rock with two Google eyes on it. And I
Speaker 1: hope some dipshit pays like ten thousand dollars for that, yeah,
Speaker 1: because they don't even say it's the rock. They're like,
Speaker 1: it's the stunt double from the Rock Verse. It's okay,
Speaker 1: it's a rock. Yeah. But they also have like so
Speaker 1: on the front page it's like laundry and Taxa's auction.
Speaker 1: It's like these props from those parts of the movies
Speaker 1: in Another Life auction, mementos from the multiverse. And then
Speaker 1: down below that they have a section on the A
Speaker 1: twenty four website Novelty Factor and they have like a
Speaker 1: inflatable toy microphone that just has the logo for the
Speaker 1: wedding singer taped on playing from Casino and it's just
Speaker 1: a playing card deck with like the casino poster on
Speaker 1: the box. Um it's pretty It's like half of the
Speaker 1: auction is like, you know, expensive props from like an
Speaker 1: Academy Award nominated film, and then the other half for
Speaker 1: the auction, it's just like promotional items that were sent
Speaker 1: to Jean Shallotte in nineteen ninety five, right, prosthetic teeth
Speaker 1: from Austin Powers. But it's like in the plastic packaging
Speaker 1: that it comes with when you go to like a
Speaker 1: Halloween store, like it has the Austin Powers like logo
Speaker 1: on it and like a blister pack. So, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's wild to me that on one part they are
Speaker 1: auctioning off items that feel like they belong in a museum,
Speaker 1: and in another they are auctioning off things that feel
Speaker 1: like they belong in a junk drawer. But you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not here to tell a twenty four what
Speaker 1: to do. No, no, they you know, they seem to
Speaker 1: be doing it right. Yeah, there's a Fargo paper shredder. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess because the wood chipper is maybe the connection.
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's weird pin art board from hollow Man,
Speaker 1: and it's just one of those like hand those things
Speaker 1: you put stick your hand in, Like all that has
Speaker 1: all the pins and you see the other side, but
Speaker 1: it just like that's just a sharper image thing. But
Speaker 1: then they wrote hollow man on one part of it.
Speaker 1: That's so weird. You know. I think these ones may
Speaker 1: have closed already. I think maybe just the everything everywhere,
Speaker 1: all at once stuff is going up now they are closed.
Speaker 1: And the amount that people paid for them, Like somebody
Speaker 1: paid one hundred dollars for the wedding singer toy microphone, Like,
Speaker 1: now this is being ationed off for charity. So great,
Speaker 1: Like I'm happy for them doing that, but it's just
Speaker 1: a strange, like in terms of the message that it's sending,
Speaker 1: it's just a little confused. Oh yeah, they have the
Speaker 1: fanny pack from Everything Everywhere all at once too, That
Speaker 1: would be pretty great. There's a lot of great stuff.
Speaker 1: You know. Someone paid one hundred and seventy five dollars
Speaker 1: for a Babe piggy bank that doesn't even look like Babe.
Speaker 1: It just has the word Babe stenciled on the back.
Speaker 1: It could have been from the Babe with John Goodman.
Speaker 1: Well it says is from Babe nineteen ninety five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of Babe movies around that same time.
Speaker 1: But anyways, go spend ridiculous money on everything everywhere, all
Speaker 1: at once, prop on the A twenty four auctions, twenty
Speaker 1: four auctions dot com. You can go do that or
Speaker 1: you cannot do that. Yeah, it is well coast to
Speaker 1: good causes. Yeah, that is true. Well JM. Pleasure having
