*A very unintentional title there.....*

Some of the titles that Alex has recommended: Naked Naked Lunch Sexy Beast

Why does “Run Naked” itself sound like a legitimate movie title?

I saw Ralph at Starbucks yesterday WITHOUT a mask sneezing on people who said they like Zack Snyder. Now i think he is a hack too Ralph but back handing people for liking Justice League IS NOT okay.

Ah yes, "Run". The sequel to the Kurasawa samurai movie "Ran" and set up for the upcoming "Will Run"

Omg guys i am scared #MEGANISMISSING is the most disturbing movie ever i saw a REAL woman geting torture #MEGANISMISSING teached me to never have teddy bears #SCARED #OMG #CONTINUE13RW

I met Mike Leigh in the BFI once and told him that Naked was my favorite film. He told me I ought to see more films then. Lovely guy.

I love the story that Mike Leigh asked David Thewlis if he'd seen a dead body before filming began and when he said no he told Thewlis to go see one at a morgue lmao

Day #6 of asking Sardonicast to review Rango (2011) Edit: Wow y’all really want them to review Rango

David Thewlis: [says "luv" in a hard british accent] Pretty much everybody: 👀👀👀

1:12:55 "NO" is the funniest shit I've ever heard...he says it like it's not an opinion but an answer and that made me die of laughter for some reason

Adam and Alex's show with a cameo by Ralph

I wasn’t sure about The Man From Earth, but watched it earlier this year and was not disappointed at all! Very fun and engaging movie solely from the dialogue

David Thewlis' reactions and sudden 180s requires so much reading into and interpreting.

Finally watched this episode since I just recently watched Naked. Homers Illiad and Odyssey is heavily referenced like in Johnny getting his Achilles heel injured at the end. Maybe even Beowulf and Johnny being like a Grendel like character with mourning about his mother, even though something might have happened with her and him that made him who he is, since he mentioned that she died and now he is just lost

Megan is missing was one of the first YMS videos I have ever watch and that movie getting a second life is amazing.

1:21:00 Im extreamly ofended by ralph comparing cowboy bebop to the Mandalorian

The Hunt is a movie that I’m slowly going through because of the amount of tension I get from it. That’s a stressful watch but in a really good way

Chaos Walking looks like After Earth, but without the Smiths.

Naked's weird structure is pretty typical for one of Leigh's earlier films. A lot of his most interesting and influential work has similar fly-on-the wall type pacing, just watching events naturally unfold until they reach some sort of climax, not hurrying things along with a conventional dramatic momentum. Life Is Sweet is another great example. His VERY first films can be a bit of a chore, though. Definitely took him a while to find the right balance with keeping things entertaining.

Was waiting the whole Run discussion for Ralph to say he hated Searching

If you guys enjoyed Naked. Definitely check out High Hopes, Life is Sweet, and Topsy-Turvy. Mike Leigh sits very closely with me as a director. It's always interesting hearing people talk about his movies that don't know the intricate geographical politics in the UK. He's obsessed with Manchester, and its socialist ties, but also the deconstruction of socialists, and the nihilism that fuels them along with the compassion they preach that they stand for. That relationship between the North and the South of England is incredibly present in all of his films. Hope you guys check him out some more in the future!

the song in the justice league trailer is actually the original version of the song by Leonard Cohen.

I'm surprised you haven't seen more Mike Leigh films -- most of them are right up your alley. Secrets & Lies is probably the most popular, but my favourite is Topsy-Turvey. It has some of the Leigh trademark grit but overall, it's a blast of optimism and energy.

I almost shit my pants when I thought they were gonna talk about ran

17 year old Tiktokers have also been calling Salo a "cursed film" without knowing any context and intention, just goes out to show that these guys could say anything they want and everyone else believes its true ://

Spoilers Something thats easy to miss in “Naked” is the scene with the dancing lady in her apartment while hes getting sexually violent with her ,he notices a skull and crossbones tattoo on her shoulder, and johnnys reaction is of recoiled horror . It’s interesting that all of this could be about johnny dying of some kind of illness such as AIDs or something . Since that was going on at the time . Johnnys violent depressive misery could be a result of abuse from his past then a sudden sickness throwing him over the edge . Also the scene with the poster guy hanging up “ canceled “ posters over posters that say “therapy ?” I thought was a humorous and dark touch to what was going on .. possible hinting that all his personal encounters hes having are gonna swiftly come to an end in some form .

It's funny cause Ralph in his Justice League theatrical cut review made fun of a movie he made being black and white and now Zack is considering to make a black and white cut

Oh boy, I am already looking forward to Peter Jackson's King Kong next episode

I never realised the bald guy at maudes House was David thewlis till Alex pointed it out

Secrets and lies is a must see!! Fantastic powerful movie.

I don’t wanna run naked

When "Naked" was recommended last episode, did anyone thought it was the Marlon Wayans Netflix film?

I never thought this podcast would devolve into a spy kids discussion, but I am so on board

Naked gets extra points for reminding me the band Therapy? exists. Awesome 90’s alt-metal band I haven’t thought about in years

It seems like these guys watch a good amount of films Ari Aster praises. I’m waiting for The Cook, The Thief at this point.

Judging by the title I can't tell if they'll talk about two movies or one in this episode

Believe it or not Adam, but there is a movie from 2019 called "What men want". Insert jokes about how nobody wanted that movie here------->

THE INTRO LMAO!!!

Zack has gone on record saying that the Synder Cut will have two viewing options: black and white with the same aspect ratio from the trailer and one in color.

great episode guys!

I've just started playing the first half life game(The source engine version)For the first time in my life and then this intro appeared in the next episode.Truly a glorious coincidence.

The notification said Run naked uh oh!

While Alex is right that Mike Leigh had worked in theatre prior to Naked, he had already released a couple of movies and was well known for creating loads of TV plays for the BBC in the 70s, primarily satirising issues around class. I remember in the 90s the BBC devoting a whole night around the 20th anniversary of his TV play Abigail's Party (though I didn't really understand it being a kid at the time). They also showed Nuts in May around the same time (which I loved); it's about a highly strung guy on a camping trip as the reality does not meet his idealised version of the British countryside and he gradually loses it (I guess it's a bit like a funnier, rural British Falling Down...)

Serenity (the Firefly movie) definitely deserves another watch. One of, if not, my favourite movies of all time.

Wow, they reviewed one of my favourite movies:Naked! I first saw it at the age of 17 and I loved it. What does that say about the weirdo, that I am?

I was rlly confused by the resurgence of megan is missing, the movie really sucks lmao

Thanks for the advice

James Gandolfini's son was on a David Simon HBO show called The Deuce and he was good enough in that and very much looks like his dad. I think he can pull it off definitely.

im screaming el camino at the screen when the second question arrives

You need to make Ralph laugh as often as possible

Timecodes: 0:00 - Intro 1:13 - Chaos Walking Trailer 10:50 - Snyder Cut Buzz 14:15 - Run (SPOILERS) 23:24 - Naked (SPOILERS) 1:00:02 - Megan is Missing 1:04:15 - Q&A

If you guys ever talk about La La land in the podcast, then Adam needs to sing I ran in the intro.

Movie recommendations for you guys Wreckmeister Harmonies (By Béla Tarr) The White Ribbon (Michael Hanake)

There was a point in time where Love (yes, that one) was a tiktok trend

You guys FINALLY watched American Pie: The Naked Mile?

The man from earth should be the recommended movie in one of the future episodes

0:23 Alex: I don't think I've ever heard that. Adam: ... oh really? WHAT?! I love how Adam processed that in real time. 10/10

his reaction to chaos walking here

I am joining Adam in watching the Snyder cut as the first time I watch the Justice League.

Does End of Evangelion count as a good movie based on a show, because I think it’s good

Sia's last dogpile was about the Shia LaBeouf video for Elastic Heart being perceived as representing an abusive adult/child relationship. I think some of her defensive tweets offended people more, so she's been here before, but the totality of the video was there and she stood by her vision.

Adam how dare you steal my plan for watching the Snyder cut first! 😂

No,Adam. You have to watch Man of Steel and Batman V Superman. You have to suffer just as we did !!

Good podcast

Nice title

RalphTheTikToker

Anyone got a link to Ralph's TikTok?

I was just watching LOTR the other day, & was in the mood to watch some more Peter Jackson films. So thanks for the recommendation! Can’t wait for next episode!

I never realized David Thewlis is in The Big Lebowski.

They are northern but specifically a type of Manchester accent.

Wait they talked about great movies that came from shows, but didn't bring up Borat and Bruno?!

That King Kong PC port is infamous for bricking computers poor adam :c

I actually read the Chaos Walking trilogy years and years ago, I remember really enjoying it. Each book felt like an entirely different genre and it starts kind of wacky but with some semblance of a reality, and then by the third book the slave race of aliens who are owned and abused by what might be the last real human civilization rises up to shoot fireballs or some shit. The first book is a lot more firm in my memory, Mads Mickelson’s character was great, he was like a lunatic preacher hunting children. Also, sorry to say this Adum, but I haven’t seen Justice League either, but am planning to see the Snyder Cut just for the meme. I assume I won’t understand half the jokes on most of my favorite places online if I don’t watch it, because I’m just guessing it will be memed to death.

Horror movue scripts *could* be amazing but I think there's an issue of focus and standards. A lot of horror filmmamers seem to focus on other elements, so the story really doesn't work. A clear antithesis to this would be The Witch, as it has this really unique and particular script and all these fascinating ideas going into a horror movie, then the presentation elevates it. I recently rewatched the original Poltergeist from the 80s and realized it had a similar sort of appeal. It has some really solid ideas and believable dialogue, even now, and then you have all the wild effects and stuff that brings it to fruition. Hell, to really push the ebvelope, I think Jeepers Creepers has a pretty good script, it's just also a somewhat campy monster movie. It might not be totally serious but the character interactions especially are very memorable because of how genuine it seems.

I think that Netflix "space cowboy" show is actually a live-action Cowboy Bebop series.

Hey, you two. Run, Naked! *Run & Naked:* Yes? Get over here!

How has no one mentioned "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" for good movies from TV shows? Edit: Nevermind comes up later

Holy grail and life of Brian review would be 🤌

I hope Just2good gets on the podcast some day

Adam,Do your top 10 movies of 2016-2020

I liked Life is Sweet by Mike Leigh so I'll have to check out more of his films.

finally someone appreciates spy kids 3

Hey adam if you have an xbox one make sure to play the king kong video game on that as its optimized much better and fixes bugs the original xbox 360 version had.

Adam, watch Firefly/Serenity, it's worth your time

Oh my effing gawd! The Megan is missing thing! I'm a teacher, and last week one of my students was talking about the movie as if it was real, and I couldn't help but laugh because the movie is so awful and obviously fake. I wasn't able to convince her of that unfortunately, but I realized that Megan is missing is suddenly in the spotlight now? So weird. All I could think of was Adam's review of it, which is hilarious. Next up is Cyberbully, I guess... where people can't get the cap off.

Almost read the title without the comma

Me: Sees the title of the video Also me: Don’t mind if I do!

The naked brothers band is a great movie

1:23:11 hey that’s my question. Also, Alex pronounced it as Evan rather than Ivan.

1:21:06 I think you meant to say Cowboy Bebop ralph lol

I'm still siding with Red Letter Media on A Quiet Place.

1:10:05 Good movie, bad script. The first thing that comes to mind is my favorite movie The Blair Witch Project. I didn't read the script, but a lot of scenes were improvised and I doubt that it had mind blowing script.

Ah yes, just in time for my monthly bath

So the Snyder cut is... a rough cut of the theatrical version basically? They're just going to throw in stuff they decided was better left out? How can anyone think this will be an improvement?!

it's crazy how you talked about how in the movie she steals a baby and gets away with it and that was just local news to us a few months ago about this lady who stole like at least 3 babies from hospitals and raised them as her own for like the past 20-25 years

1:40:27 Now that the movie is released, I will repeat some wise words by Ned Flanders: “MY FAMILY CAN’T LIVE UNDER GOOD INTENTIONS, MARGE.”
