The only podcast.
Team, welcome back to The Movies. My name is Scott Sweeney, I'm joined here in the Chill Zone by Ryan Ankner and Mike Connelly, how are we?
**Ryan Ankner** (0:33)
Wow, what's happening, Hoops?
**Mike Connelly** (0:35)
I woke up in Orlando today.
**Scott Sweeney** (0:36)
Whoa. We got a Disney adult on our hands here.
**Ryan Ankner** (0:41)
That's funny.
**Scott Sweeney** (0:41)
Should we get right into it? Do you wanna take us down to-
**Mike Connelly** (0:44)
I'll save that for later.
**Ryan Ankner** (0:44)
The Disney Corner, we'll wait.
**Mike Connelly** (0:46)
Yeah, we'll do Disney Corner instead of Cod's Corner, because I'm still working on my Cod's Corner.
**Ryan Ankner** (0:50)
Oh, well, I have your next week answers already. We didn't think you were gonna be here. We were gonna have friend of the show, Dan, here, but Dan had a scheduling conflict, and Mike got back early, so it worked out.
**Mike Connelly** (1:00)
We got a spicy one for this one that I think the fans at home are going to enjoy.
**Scott Sweeney** (1:03)
We're not here today.
It's a holiday weekend. Did you guys watch Independence Day? I watched the better part of it yesterday, and it really hit the spot.
**Mike Connelly** (1:16)
I might do that tonight.
**Scott Sweeney** (1:17)
It really hit the spot. Yeah.
**Mike Connelly** (1:19)
Holds up, doesn't it?
**Scott Sweeney** (1:19)
It does.
**Mike Connelly** (1:20)
Yeah.
**Scott Sweeney** (1:21)
Like in a 90s way, in a fun, I'm looking at Robert Loja delivering.
**Mike Connelly** (1:28)
I like Robert Loja in the sequel.
**SPEAKER_6** (1:30)
And I'm on top of him.
**Scott Sweeney** (1:31)
Is he in the sequel?
**Mike Connelly** (1:32)
He died like an hour after the scene was made.
**Scott Sweeney** (1:34)
Oh yeah. They did wheel him out for a cameo.
**Mike Connelly** (1:38)
I'm not joking. He died immediately after.
**Scott Sweeney** (1:41)
They're preparing to fire their primary weapon.
**SPEAKER_6** (1:45)
Robert Loja, L, O, that long drawn out bit.
**Scott Sweeney** (1:51)
We got a lot of news to talk about. We're going to talk about Cod going to Disney a little later. Minions and Monsters having a big box office weekend. I haven't seen it yet, but ever since I found out about the plot involving the minions trying to make their own movie, I want to see it.
**SPEAKER_6** (2:11)
Oops.
**Ryan Ankner** (2:12)
You're in.
I feel like you're a minions guy anyway. Are you not?
**Scott Sweeney** (2:16)
They're cute. They're fun. I like minion-ese, the language that they speak.
**Ryan Ankner** (2:22)
I did not know that was a thing.
**Scott Sweeney** (2:23)
It is.
**Ryan Ankner** (2:23)
I'm a big fan of like Boomer, Facebook, minion memes, like that whole subset.
I get a kick, like when they're sexualized, that's fun for me. No good? Little minion butts.
**Mike Connelly** (2:36)
No good.
**Ryan Ankner** (2:36)
No, Mike? They're not underage.
**Scott Sweeney** (2:39)
I'd fuck a minion.
**Mike Connelly** (2:40)
They're called minions.
**Ryan Ankner** (2:41)
Just because they're small. That's ageist or sizeist.
**SPEAKER_5** (2:45)
It's one of the ists.
**Ryan Ankner** (2:47)
It's all of them, really.
**Scott Sweeney** (2:48)
No, but it's making a ton of dough. It, biggest minions or Despicable Me opening yet.
**Ryan Ankner** (2:55)
Is Steve Carell unattached?
**Scott Sweeney** (2:58)
Well, I don't want to get into spoiler country, but I do hear that Gru makes an appearance at the end of this film.
**Ryan Ankner** (3:04)
I don't know if that would bother any of the fans to know that information ahead of time.
**Scott Sweeney** (3:09)
I'm right now going, fuck.
**Ryan Ankner** (3:11)
Monty was on his way down to Boulder to see minions alone because Jack won't go with them.
**SPEAKER_7** (3:15)
Who's Gru?
**Ryan Ankner** (3:16)
Gru.
**Scott Sweeney** (3:17)
Who's Gru?
**SPEAKER_7** (3:18)
Who is Gru?
**Scott Sweeney** (3:20)
He's Steve Carell's unforgettable, big-nosed, want to take over the world character, who's in all the Despicable Me films.
**SPEAKER_7** (3:27)
Good for you.
**Mike Connelly** (3:28)
Different than the minions films?
**Scott Sweeney** (3:30)
Yes. What?
**Ryan Ankner** (3:32)
Wait, what?
**Scott Sweeney** (3:32)
The minions came from Despicable Me, but...
**Ryan Ankner** (3:37)
They're not all just minions.
**Scott Sweeney** (3:39)
What do you mean?
**Ryan Ankner** (3:40)
Like, we're talking about two different, like minions came after, they were like a sub-product of...
**Scott Sweeney** (3:46)
Well, there's the four Despicable Me movies, and now with the new Minions and Monsters, this is the third Minions movie. So we're talking about seven movies, heavily featuring minions that exist and are widely loved.
**Mike Connelly** (3:58)
But they're in the same verse.
