**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Alright, we got some trailers, some random news. And quick, what you've been watching. Taylor, what do you think about these trailers? Thomas Crown Affair, Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother, and Violent Night 2

**Taylor** (0:11)
Oh, yeah, I mean, I'll start with Violent Night 2, because that's the one. It's funny, because I had to do a Discord quest to get that. I got some orbs by watching the trailer. You get the orbs, the orbs, you can buy cool things for your profile on Discord. So I watched that, you know, hey, they introduced Mrs. Claus now. Always down for Anna to be making appearances on their projects.
She's a really funny actress. I always get a kick out of everything she pops into, because she's got like a cute, funny kind of vibe, especially when she's paired up with her husband. There's just one, what was that movie?
Hang on, I don't look at it.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:54)
The Horizon with Dax Shepard?

**Taylor** (0:56)
Yeah. What was that movie? Because I saw it in theaters with my friend, and it was so funny.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:00)
And it's a recent movie?

**Taylor** (1:01)
Hit and Run, 10 years ago. So Bradley Cooper, have you seen it?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:06)
I've seen bits and pieces of it. I remember the cover of Bradley Cooper on the roof, but you said recent movie. That's a decade ago now.

**Taylor** (1:13)
It's a decade. It's a decade. Yeah. That movie is so fucking funny though. Oh my God.
Bradley Cooper opens up the door and they go in. It's all these old people having this huge orgy. They're like, what the fuck is going on in here? Oh, I got to figure out a way to get you guys to watch that movie.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:32)
It's so funny. If you want to draft this year, you can make it happen.

**Taylor** (1:36)
I'll make it happen. Yeah. Anyways, though, they're producers of Wedding Crashers. But yeah, I never saw the first one. I don't know if I'll eventually get around to this. But for Violent Night, yeah.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:48)
That's very surprising. I feel like that's up your alley.

**Taylor** (1:52)
I do enjoy David Harbour in some roles, some things that he's just being a little too overly comedic. You can take me down a notch, but I do like.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:03)
Red Guardian, you're talking about?

**Taylor** (2:05)
Yeah. Although I like where his Red Guardian has been evolving to. I think it's been growing in a way that I really like.
But yeah, maybe this will kind of be the thing that pushes me over the edge to actually see that first one. Because when I was watching it, I was definitely feeling like it. I was feeling the Christmas spirit a little bit watching the trailer. And I was starting to think, you know, Mariah Carey is going to be dethawed soon and come out of the ice.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:28)
Not yet. So Halloween.

**Taylor** (2:30)
Not yet. I've seen some, some memes. I've seen some memes where people like walk out of their door and then you hear Mariah Carey like faint, like echoes over the mountains and stuff just because people are like, yeah, just they're teasing that she's coming. And then he said he's in the other movies.
Thomas Crown Affair. Yeah, I watched this trailer. What the fuck happened in this movie?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:55)
This movie.

**Taylor** (2:56)
Why can't I remember? I watched the trailer, but I can't remember anything. Happen to Jordan.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:59)
He's playing a fee. Oh, the fear. Yeah.

**Taylor** (3:02)
Yeah. This was like a like 10 James Bond. Yes.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:07)
Well, it looks like Tenet. You should watch the tenet, trace them back to back as there's him and run out the building. The villain is the same. Kenneth Branagh is the villain in both of them.

**Taylor** (3:14)
Oh, it looks identical.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:15)
Yeah.

**Taylor** (3:16)
Big Nolan fan, this director then. Michael B.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:19)
Jordan is the director.

**Taylor** (3:20)
Oh, big Nolan fan then.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:22)
Yes.

**Taylor** (3:23)
Okay.
I mean, I haven't seen Creed 1, 2 or 3 So I feel like I'm very much behind because I'm not immersed on what he's just running with lately, aside from Killmonger for Black Panther. He only directed Creed 3

**SPEAKER_1** (3:41)
Yeah, he just started. This is the second directing film.

**Taylor** (3:46)
Directing debut. Okay.
But yeah, I don't know if it's going to be a theatrical movie for me, but I'm curious. I'm curious. Your mother, your mother, your mother. This one, I was trying to kind of get a gauge on. So okay, like he's a single parent and he's taking care of three kids, trying to make ends meet. He's kind of got like a John Wick kind of vibe to him as like a super high end assassin kind of guy. And yeah, I was kind of interested in this too, but you were eluding that you got some interesting like Blade things here, right?
