6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: of those family animal movies. Astrays is not one of those.

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: So just anybody out there who's thinking, oh, how cute

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 2: there is a movie about dogs all hanging out. Do

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 2: not take the kids to this. They will learn some

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: stuff that they are not meant to know.

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: So not even Hotel for dogs.

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 2: Oh no, So this is this is this is an

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: R rated in America movie. And here it'll be like

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: m A fifteen plus and it has some extremely adult content.

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: It's come from the executive producers of the Lego movie,

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: the Lego Batman movie, twenty one Jump Street. So Lord

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: and Miller, Christopher Miller and Phil Lord are comic geniuses,

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: and so now people bring them script and they just

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: like straight away, go, yeah, that's a winner.

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: That's a winner.

21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: And so someone has brought him this script about a

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: dog who is abandoned by his owner who's a bit

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: of a you know, his owner's a bit of a

24
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: douchebag who doesn't treat him very well. But still this

25
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 2: dog who's voiced by Will Ferrell, is just so happy

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: all the time. Every day is an amazing day. He

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: loves his owner and he just can't bring himself to

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: believe that his owner is abandoned.

29
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: Dog.

30
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: Dog Dog, And then one day he gets abandoned in

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: this big city and comes into the orbit of these

32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: other stray dogs, and the stray dogs say, nah, dude,

33
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: like you've got this all wrong, like your owner is

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: really mistreating you. And the Will Ferrell dog comes to

35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: realize that, oh, you know what, that's right. I've done

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: nothing wrong, but I've been treated terribly. I'm going to

37
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: get revenge on my owner. So I'm going to find

38
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: my way back across the country to where he lives,

39
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: and I'm going to bite his winner off.

40
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: Was the goal? That was?

41
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: That was the god Jamie Fox. Yes, that's what the

42
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: Jamie Fox dock. So one of the little French bulldog

43
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: a voice by Jamie Fox is quite hilarious. The Isle

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: of Fisher a hometown hero the Earth, so it provides

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: a voice for a dog, an Australian shepherd. Of course,

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: I feel like she's type cars, she could play a

47
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: German shepherd. She's got range. And then you've got Randall

48
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: Park who plays a great Dane. And there's one thing

49
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: about this great Dane that is particularly great that gets

50
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: talked about a lot in the movie and shown in

51
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: one scene that cannot be unseen, so just bear that

52
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: in mind. And then they meet a whole bunch of

53
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: other friends along the way as they had this cross

54
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 2: country adventure because as dogs, you know, they don't have

55
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: Google Maps, they're not really sure about landmarks, so they've

56
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: only got a very vague idea of how to get

57
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: from A to B. And along the way they have

58
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: a lot of adventures, not all of them positive, and

59
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: they encounter a police dogs who are trying to catch

60
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: them a dog pound. They eat some magic mushrooms in

61
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: the forest one day. So this is a bit like

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: in that movie Good Boys from a couple of years ago,

63
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: where it was, you know, these young young boys, but

64
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: it was a very adult movie and so they were

65
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: swearing and talking about a lot of adult concepts.

66
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: Similar kind of deal with strays.

67
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: The reason it is not very effective, though, is because

68
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: dogs don't have facial expressions, you know, what I mean.

69
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: So when you've got a scene of four live action

70
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: dogs sitting around and their lips are moving talking for

71
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: like five minutes, there's no facial expressions, it gets really

72
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: monotonous very quickly, and so he actually gets a little

73
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: dull in large stretches. There are some moments that are hilarious,

74
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: though Jamie Fox is fantastic. Will Ferrell, we know he's funny.

75
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: He's a very funny voice actor, and so those two

76
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: are great. Will Forte plays the owner who's mistreating the dog,

77
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: who's from Last Man on Earth Saturday Life. He's perfectly

78
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: cast as this guy who's just a total loser. He

79
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: plays it well, He plays that well. It's a role

80
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: he was born to play, and it kind of you know,

81
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: it gets to the end and you know, you have

82
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: a moment where you go, Okay, this is all great.

83
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: It's all kind of wrapped up pretty nicely. But yeah,

84
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: it's just a film where you feel like all the

85
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: funny bits were probably in the trailer.

86
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: The trailer, yeah, yeah.

87
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: And the funny moments are hilarious. There's long stretches that

88
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: are not really that funny. Some jokes get dragged out

89
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: too long, like the idea that you know that you know,

90
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: humans are collecting dog poop. You see them bagging it up,

91
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: they're collecting it. Who knows what they're collecting it for?

92
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 2: And then someone says, you know what, I bet they're

93
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: putting it in chocolate. That's why they don't let us

94
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: have any of it.

95
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: Ah dog joke. The people who love doggoes.

96
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you'll probably get something out of it,

97
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's just just not as good as I

98
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: think people will not Harry.

99
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: McCleary, Yeah, Harry mclary from Donaldson's there, maybe not all right, Well,

100
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: how many shmack eyes are you giving it?

101
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 2: To? Give it?

102
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: Two and half shmack sma, guys, that's what Ziggy has

103
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: before lunchtime.

104
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: Spoiled, spoiled, Thank you, Thank you, Ben Australia Mon
