such as Titanic, Robocop, Die Hard, and for some reason Star Wars episode two, attack of the clones.

One important note before we go on, we are actually taking a week off next week because

we're returning back to Pixar's in review with the movie hoppers. We'll be talking about that,

but we're not talking about that right now. Of course, if you love what we do, thank you guys so

much for being a part of the show. You can be a part of the show by super chatting live over on

youtube.com slash kind of any games. I'll read those as we go. Remember, we couldn't do this without

our producers over on patreon. So thank you to Carl Jacobs and make a buster. Okay, gentlemen,

today we're talking inner stellar. Listen, this is your first time seeing my first time seeing

inner stellar. I love how much I'm on the show by the way. I love it. Yeah, I love it. I love

I love that. That mean Andy get to share these these little delights with you. Yeah, this is my

first time on this on the Nick interview. Really? Yeah. No, it's crazy. We did the watching thing for

Oh, we did the commentary. That's why. Oh, well, we did the live. We did the live. How are the duck?

Oh, we did do that. Yeah. Yes, that's true. What is the commentary as well? We did. Yeah. Yeah,

that was a fun one. But yeah, that was my first time seeing this intro. Really? Very nice.

I'm sorry about that. It's a cool show. Thank you. Yeah, we're having cool show you guys have

having fun. This is a nice little rundown memory land for all the fun movies. I could have just

been a co-host on the show, honestly. I could have been a thing where I just show up every episode.

That would have been amazing, actually, because I think the majority of these movies you haven't seen,

right? Yeah. Yeah. Like I could have been Lord of the Rings also or something. We're doing

Lord of the Rings later. I'm really excited about Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings is probably the

one I'm at this point most excited for because I think it's the only one left that I haven't seen.

Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's it for me. Jeff grubb with a $20 superchats has

do you even have kids? Then you're allowed to talk about this movie. You don't know my history.

I might have a couple little ones out there that I don't know. Honestly, that used to be my biggest

fear. But now I'm kind of hoping it happens. Now I'm kind of going to get a little knock on the door.

And this is a little tiny little Italian boy goes, Papa, and I go, oh, this is my kid. Beard. Yeah,

full bearded. Seven years old. Kind of balding. Ladies, gentlemen, it's time for the tax

backs. We're talking inner stellar released on October 26th, 2014 with an hour with a two hour and

49 minute run time. Just goes by and y'all are giving me the long movies. No, no, I had me do

time. Give me the last week. We give me this. Yeah, me doing Lord of the Rings, which I know was

at least an hour long. I'm actually very curious to see how that one goes. That's a three plus

little of the rings of the three pluser. Oh, yeah. Damn. Well, you have to watch out and then

the extended edition after which is about four after. Yeah, why can't I just start with the extended

edition? Well, because you got another differences. You have to really be also have to watch all the

hobbit movies. Yeah, as well. This, of course, was directed by Christopher Nolan, who you all know

from inception of the Dark Knight trilogy and Oppenheimer. Director of photography on this with

Hoi Tama, who also did Dunkirk tenant and Oppenheimer for him as well, and the music by the venerable

Hans Zimmer. The goat. The goat. There's a great piece of trivia where Nolan was like, look,

I don't want you to go. I don't want you to get into your bag of tricks and do the shit you've

always done with the strings and the big drums. Throw that out and come at me with something good.

And he was like, how about the world's biggest pipe organ? And he was like, yeah, that's what we're

doing right now. This had a budget of 165 million in the box office return. A little skewed here

because they've released it multiple times back in theaters, which I'm not worried about. But it's

758. I got to know, like, I need to sign up for a list of like, it's in theaters now. I was going to

say it's coming back in the theaters. Shut up. Yeah. I just, I Googled, I run time and I show time

popped up. Yeah. Why are you kidding me? Somebody legit texted me because I mentioned watching in

a seller and they're like, if you're able to wait, it's coming back in two weeks. And I was like,

that's a week too long. Yeah. I feel like I show time. It's there. There's the vine cinema

and ale house, which is in Livermore. It's pretty far actually. But it's at the end. You go see it

there. This needs to be a bigger deal. Like I feel like it's one of the things we're like,

the state representative should let us know. Oh, you think that like instead of Gavin Newsom and

all the senators, Democratic senators were all over the country texting me that they need just

$5. I would actually, I would actually pay Gavin Newsom $5 if he told me I'd play a second watch

interstellar. That would be amazing. Sunday, March 29th, 70 millimeter at the Castro theater.

Oh, I'll send you a link. That sounds awesome. I might go with you. Dude,

that you. So here's the deal. I'll go first on this one. Blessing. Go for it. I saw this movie

in, in, I don't know if it was 75 or 65 millimeter. Whatever our IMAX is at the Metrion. And it was

so loud and so unbelievably intense of an experience that like, it stuck with me since then.

I love this fucking movie. I think this is by far Christopher Nolan's finest film. I think this

is Magnum Opus. I think this movie belongs on everyone's top five, minimum top five sci-fi

movies of all time list. But this, this might be like top five of all time movies for me.

I love watching it. I think it's the perfect culmination of a director who has become a master at

his craft. It worked with actors multiple times. And now they have this, this com lottery and

this feeling of being able to just kind of, you can just see how good they are working together.

And then of course, Matthew McConaughey, the McConaissance. I don't know how familiar

are with Matthew McConaughey. But this is midway through his run. Just one. All right,

I'm just giving it one. Okay, well, we might get the other two all right. I'll talk over Nick,

later. I appreciate it. Okay, then. McConaughey was, you know, came on the scene with,

uh, with the time to kill. And he did some, some decent movies and then kind of got stuck. Now,

Matt, she's white. Time to kill. Oh, man, dude, I don't know what time to kill. He's a lawyer,

bless. Yeah. The Sam, Sam Jackson's in it. There's a murder that happens, right? And the

A Jackson is the defendant. Just, you're supposed to race his people in the, in the jury stuff.

And he's like, he's explaining this whole like crime or whatever. And like, and it's one of those

things of like, you only don't give, you only don't give a shit about this because it happened to

a black girl, right? But he's doing all this stuff. And he's doing the, the fucking awesome

model. Now, Matt, she's white. Yeah, he goes through all this and everybody is like the victim.

Oh, yeah. That's pretty sick. Dude, it's a good move. You say that out of context is holy.

It's not a completely positive. He said that. I supported him because I know he's talking about,

but yeah, I was a little crazy to say that. Uh, but McConaughey had a great start. It was

queer and then kind of lulled their kind of languished in romcom world with, uh, you know,

failure to launch and how to lose a guy in 10 days or whatever the hell it was. And then I think

he's like a little break and came back and decided to do like, he just came back with like

interstellar. No, he was in the void for a while, man. He was in the void. He was in romcom hell.

Yeah. It was things were not looking great for his career. Uh, he could have done that for the

end of time and not been, you know, really nourished dramatically or creatively. And then it was,

it was this same year as interstellar, which was what 2014 that he came out with

true detective at the beginning of the year, season one, which was like, again, to have an HBO

show starring those two people, Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. This wasn't,

you know, just TV stars. The other type of Matthew McConaughey, Mick and he goes,

McConaughey, and it fills it in. Yeah, like, I mean, there was a massive deal to like, oh,

with these stars are in this HBO show. That's awesome. And then it was interstellar and then

Dallas buyers club. And it's like, he just decided like, actually, I want to get back to work.

What's crazy? I think this is me realizing that I've not seen any other Matthew McConaughey

thing. I, well, it's depending on what you watch. You might love him or you might hate him,

but this is these are the key projects. He's bounding down. I watched that.

I was just talking to a comic about Eastbound down the other day. My friend Alicia was like,

have you seen Eastbound? I was like, I used to love what's about to happen. I was like, I can't

believe how crazy this show is. I was like, they don't make up like that. You can't do that.

I was like, I'm shocked. I didn't like kill Danny McBride's career. That was in high school.

Like, this is crazy. We had a free trial of HBO, whatever it was on.

The Maconisense, the key projects here as listed by the Google machine are Killer Joe in 2011.

The Lincoln lawyer, which I think was one of the first projects that I remember seeing being like,

okay, he's doing something different. Love Lincoln lawyer based on the book. Great TV show.

Oh, Netflix. Mud, which I never saw. Magic Mike, which he was in, which we know, that's not

I'm a conning movie. And then Dallas buyers club was the first big one. That was the 2013 one where

he was Oscar for it. And everyone's like, holy shit. And if you're not familiar with that, it was

incredibly, incredibly intense movie about AIDS and, you know, the drug that helps people with

that and like the pharmaceutical companies and him basically selling it, you know, black market

to help people, which is fucking amazing. You should absolutely watch the film. And then of course,

Wolf Wall Street is great. True detective in 2020, 2014. And he culminates with the interstellar,

the end of 2014 in October. And that run cemented him as one of the greatest actors of all time,

my opinion, specifically in the scene. I've seen that I love in this movie that stand out

is when he comes back from Miller's planet. And he's like, how fucking long? How many years were we

there for it? He's like, you guys are there for like 400, dear. He's like, what? And then he gets

all the messages from his kids and they're aging. Yeah. And he's just crying. It's just on him.

He's just crying. That that sequence to me, I'm like, you, I'm just so bummed he didn't get

the academy award for that, although he very much deserved it for Dallas buyers club. I digress.

I love this fucking movie. I love watching this movie every time I watch it. I like watching it.

Just to see the cinematography. See how the sound comes to it. The, the, the, the heavy

concept of interstellar travel and, and five dimensional beings and all of these things. And like,

the fact that it breaks your brain, but they really got there, you know, tried to stick as much as

humanly possible with like scientific realities for a lot of the stuff with the exception of the

clouds. Apparently, it was one thing that they didn't really the, the, the, the, the scientific,

the book that this was based off of. Dr. Kip Thorn was like, everything we consulted. I,

I consulted on was pretty 100% accurate with the, with a couple things here and there, except

they got into a, like a, a little bit of a argument about the clouds, because they were like the

clouds. There's no way that that structure would have been able to hold itself. I got you. Yeah.

Anyway, I love this freaking movie. I will watch this movie anytime. If you haven't seen it and you

get the opportunity to see it on 70 millimeter, I max, please fucking go and hope that the,

they just cranked the volume like they did for me. Andy, what do you think of interstellar?

Yeah, this is up there is one of my favorites of all time. I think it's just such a, uh,

it's got so much heart. I love the performances. I love, I've always loved Christopher Nolan's

kind of like subtle humor here and there where it's just like, here's a little one line of you

weren't expecting. And I, you know, a lot of that is, is Tars and Case. And I'm, how much those robots

are just some of my favorite on screen sci-fi robots ever. This is, yeah, I think this is kind of like

you have to watch this if you're into sci-fi or space at all. And the, you know, after being such a fan

of the prestige back in the day and kind of like getting to know like, oh, this Christopher Nolan

guy's got the juice. And then for my friend to let me know in the year 2009, 2010, I'm like,

oh, my God, do Christopher Nolan's work after he just did the dark night right last year or whatever.

The next movie he's working on is going to be a movie about like invading people's dream. Yeah.

And I was like, whoa, that sounds fucking insane. And then you watch Inception, you're like, God,

damn, this is like one of my favorites. This is what a cool, heady idea. One of the coolest like, you

know, uh, what's like a awesome cliffhanger. Christopher Nolan still got the stuff. And then his next

movie about space and interstellar travel. And you're just like, what the fuck are they like,

this guy's just like doing every genre I want him to do. I love this movie. This is one that I will

it's always on whenever I go back home to visit my dad. He just loves the visuals in this. And so

do I love everything about this movie cinematography wise. And yeah, I just the performances from Matthew

McConaughey or phenomenal. I love Christopher Nolan's ability to do shit that doesn't make sense in

the real world at all. But the characters write it off. And you as the viewer write it off because

you trust them as a filmmaker. And you just say, yeah, of course, all of NASA would be together at two

in the morning working on shit in the middle of the night at this. And of course that wall would come

down and suddenly there's a shuttle there. Like we just suspend our disbelief for so much of Nolan

stuff because it kicks ass. And he's so fucking good at what he does. I love this movie man. I'm

so happy that I was that this was one of the ones that gets gets to be nominated for like,

all right, what are we going to do for this sort of rewatch thing? And this is also one that

as bus he was doing his Nolan rewatch. Yeah, I've always been interested to hear about like,

what are your thoughts in the interstellar? And then I think you would skip because maybe we

had thought, all right, we knew that in the future. Yeah. So I'm soaked to hear what blessing

things about interstellar. Miss Sanchez games for 78 goes super chat said this is one of my favorite

movies. It was my first official date with my now wife at Navy Pier in Chicago. It's pretty amazing.

Not Calvin Perez gave us a super chat and said might be might be the worst wrong I've ever been

on a movie on first pass was lukewarm and love angle. Well, that is that is the I don't think

you're wrong. I don't think you're wrong on that. Yeah, lukewarm and love angle. But when it was

re-released, 90% of my issues vanished. The Zimmer on fire on the organ and then King Lose says,

I just showed my 16 year old nephew interstellar for the first time last week and he was amazed.

Yeah, that's this is one that I watched like three times in theater. I watched it in iMacs

and was just the first time watching it, bless. I was just like driving home in Austin, Texas.

And I like I was at I remember being at a stoplight and just feeling like

what am I supposed to do now? Yeah. Space is so massive. Why like why do I got to go clock in

at best by tomorrow? It's a movie that just really fucking recontextualized all sorts of which

you know, you could obviously do with a lot of different pieces of media or a lot of different

mediums that have to deal with space and it's the only movie that kind of made me like playing

out or wild is like, oh, this is what watching interstellar felt like. Yeah, this gave me that

dread that man, we are so fucking insignificant. This bit, you know, this made me go back to watching

all sorts of like sagging shit back in the day. Like, ah, it's so great. Well, important piece of

trivia, the guy that did. I want to say, I think he consulted on contact as well. Oh, yeah. So

it was just another method we caught in a movie. I think that was some of some of the science in

that movie was based on obviously Carl Sagan, but I think Kip Thorne also had to do with that.

Blessing without further ado. This is your first time watching interstellar. Yeah, it's funny.

It's funny that Amy mentions that the playing interstellar playing out or wilds. This is what

it felt like watching interstellar because I had the reverse where as I'm watching interstellar,

I was like, man, this is invoking feelings that playing out or wilds gave me and I think that's

that there's something special about space and depicting the vastness and then also the

weirdness of the science of space because I don't think about space that often outside of like

when I'm ingesting media about it. You know what I mean? I'm not like, I don't get TikToks

and algorithm about space. I'm not looking up YouTube videos. Like, I just know what I know from

school and watching stuff and then like, I don't seek out like, oh, what's the weird property?

He's a planet could have far far out there. It's like, I don't care. That doesn't affect me.

But I think when when writers and people who make art, like when they go crazy as far as trying

to depict how out there things can get and how like, I guess just the vastness and unlimited

potential of the universe, there's something about that that's like inherently emotional for me.

There's something about that where I'm like, damn, dude, it's the 80s best by I think where I'm

like, we're so small. Yeah. Like, we're so small and insignificant. I think that's beautiful.

And I think this movie is able to capture how beautiful that is while these characters are going

through such a terror and such a like the opposite of beauty. It is the human race is dying.

We, this is our last chance. We got to do something like, oh, we found this guy on this planet

and he's actually fucked up. Like, every turn you have with his characters, it is, you know,

sorrow and hopelessness and humans that aligned to humans in ways where it's like, damn,

dude, all this is happening and we're also significant. Like, there's so much emotion. I think

tied up to all in all those ideas that really worked for me in watching this. And I think off

the bat, I'll say that I watching this at home did this movie a disservice. I wish I watched

this in a theater. Yeah. You know, I the fun facts. I remember back in when I lived in Illinois,

my friend group was obsessed with Nolan, specifically dark night trilogy, right? Like, we were in

high school slash college when dark night and inception were coming out. And every Nolan movie,

since the dark night, only like three of them, but like every movie, Nolan movie was a event.

Yeah. Okay. Stop everything. Yeah. Nolan put out another banger like dark night was our

favorite movie. And then we watched, I forget which, which came out first, we inception and rises.

Inception was first and then rises. Yeah. So we watched inception. We're like, he did it again.

It was such a big thing. And then we watched rises and we loved rises. I know the internet didn't

love rises as much, but like for us, we would call back to scenes and rises. Oh yeah. Oh,

and he's climbing out the thing and we will get emotional talking about that movie.

Interstellar came out and it was divisive in my friend group. And one of the reasons I didn't

watch Interstellar was because some of my closest friends came back from watching and they're like,

nah, it's dumb. The science is weird. It's confusing and there's all these things. And I was like,

oh, I guess I'm gonna watch it. And that's why I never watched Interstellar. So now going.

Satisfaction. Fucking. No, Stevie. Stevie. Come on. Yeah.

TV and Madeline. Who Madeline? I think it was a scientist. And so I think she just had

actual issues with it. But looking back, I'm like, oh, you probably didn't know what you're talking

about either. Because as I'm watching this, I can't help but to make the comparison in my head of,

it feels like in the way that James Cameron had Titanic, this feels like Christopher Nolan's

Titanic, because you can tell how invested he is into the minute details of what makes space

special and exploring like the cool things about it and being fucking, I'm watching scenes where

they're talking about details around my, this is going over my head. I don't understand half of

what they're saying with the science bullshit. But like, it's interesting. I can tell how much

the filmmakers are into this. Therefore, I'm into this. And it just works on all those levels.

Yeah. To me, it's one of those, it's a movie that sort of shouldn't have existed in the time

in which it was made. It is a deep, deep, deep dive into into like deep sci-fi. It's not sci-fi

adventure. It's not like a Star Wars film or a Star Trek film where they're like, here's some

a little bit of science, but for the most part, that's just pushing the adventure along.

This is like, this ranks right up there with 2001 Space Odyssey as far as like,

heavy shit that we're not, that we're going to explain to you, but we don't care if you get or not,

because we just want you to know that we've thought through this. And you might never get this

shit because there's not, there, there might not even be like 100% science of this shit. Some of

it's a lot of it's theoretical or impossible to prove it. But we just want you to know that we

put the time in so you can copy off our homework. Yeah, the fun fact about that black hole animation.

No, I couldn't find that fun fact. But you, you know, I had another fun fact, though, that

apparently this was originally going to be a Steven Spielberg film. I did not know that. Apparently,

Jonathan Nolan had, had, had written on it. And Spielberg was like, I have to go do something

else. And so he was like, Hey, you should, you should hit up my brother, because I think my

brother would love to make this film. And they ended up, obviously ended up being sort of synonymous

with, with Christopher Nolan at this point. But I didn't realize that Spielberg had something

to do with this. This, this movie would have been 100% different if it was a Spielberg film.

Oh, it would have been great. But it would have been way fucking good.

Well, and that's why I think that's one of the reasons I like it is Christopher Nolan. I don't

know if I have the words where he put, he, there's a, there's a tone. There's maybe an epicness to

Christopher Nolan films that I really enjoy. And it's the reason why for me is a high school kid.

There's a college kid. I'm like, man, this is the, this is the greatest, right? Like there's

something about Christopher Nolan movies that feels, that feel like an event. They're larger than

life. They're larger than life. When you're watching Inception, like they take themselves

ultra-seriously and they try their hardest to back up that seriousness with it. And I, I can feel

that in interstellar. And for me, so much of it works because again, you're breaking down all

these things and to 80s point, you can be saw, you can be showing me something where I'm like,

that's crazy. But because of how serious you take it, I'm like, well, I'll give you the buy-in

because I've been here before, right? Like, and I know that you're giving me something that's

high concept and heady. And yeah, like I so much of this movie, I think, worked for me on the

level. I want to rewatch it so bad because Pon first watch wasn't the most entertaining movie.

Really? Yeah. Like parts of it definitely were. But there is a slow build to the pacing of

interstellar that made it kind of, it was, I was fighting, looking at my phone sometimes.

There are times, yeah, there are times where I can see it. But I think that's just me watching

it at home also. Yes, probably. I mean, the movie is this, this is one of those that you need to be

on in a big screen with with, you know, and just kind of experience. I saw with my wife and I

remember experiencing like just just sitting there the emotion of it because love plays so much

into it. Me able to hold her hand was pretty important. Now we sit across the couch with each other.

Yeah, of course, we don't, you know, you need to touch. Nolan's so interesting because his,

his sort of the root of his artistry is rooting something in reality. And I think they,

they try to, they try to have this thing grounded so much. And that's, that's what they spring off of

that I think that's why it makes his products. So like his, his films so uniquely interesting.

Spielberg would not have rooted this in reality. Spielberg would have been like, let's take

some liberties. Let's have some fun because really at the end of the day, it's about the entertainment

value of that. Yeah. This was a movie where, where I really do think Nolan and the team came out

and was like, this is what we're making. So if you're going to vibe with you and resonate with you

or you're going to be who gives a shit about black holes and move on with it. And this one just got

me and I think I got me largely from I do, I love those slow, but I love a slow burn sci-fi movie.

Yeah. That way you go, I'm going to learn some shit and I'm think I'm going to be smarter after

this. And then you leave it. You go, I'm not smarter. I'm more confused than ever. Yeah. In a weird

way, I think I like it thinking back on it more than I was enjoying it as I was watching it,

which is why I want to watch it again. It reminds me of playing like an awesome video game with a

lot of like different set piece moments that you could point to. And I think this movie does an

awesome enough job of Hans Zimmer, you know, I don't want to say hard-carrying because the visuals

are amazing able to happen. Visuals are amazing. Especially when you see my theaters too when they play

with the frame, the aspect ratio and go like like when it goes to the full, I'm with a rocket

launcher and it just goes home. You're like, holy shit. That was unbelievable. Unbelievable. And when

those, when those scenes are playing, I think about, I think about those touchdown moments. I think

about they're not mountains, they're waves. And I think about learning about time dilation and

and, you know, maybe experiencing something similar in a black mirror episode. I don't know which

one came first, but the idea of playing with that as a tool, the trying to match up the rotation

with that, like all of that shit. When, when you were in the theater watching this movie,

and that's why like I have to go see this in IMAX again, the music is as loud as you can imagine.

Just so loud. And that sounds, that sounds like a bad thing. And I think it could have been,

I think it was a turn off for some people at first, similar to how Dark Knight Rises had really

loud music. And you could barely hear the people talking underneath it because it's kind of

the main character in the moment. Like, and it is just your body is filled with every feeling

possible. You are scared. You're, you're, you're excited. You're happy about what you're watching,

but you also just feel like dread for the characters and you're putting yourself in their,

in their place, wondering, holy shit, every second on this planet counts. And this is the most

intense shit ever. Yeah. And they're not mountains, they're waves. And that's a giant. And turns

around the other side, we're on the other side of it. Holy fuck, like this movie just hits you

with so many awesome moments, the going through the black hole, all of it, like God damn it,

just kind of always hits you with awesome shit. And we're going to get to some of those fun moments.

But first, we're going to take a break, tell you about our sponsors.

Here's the movies of the guy with the movie or the airport playing the piano. No, but that's the

fucking hit scene. Anyway, that's a reference. So an old TikTok show out to the pandemic days.

Um, it was just somebody playing the inner seller theme on a little cat keyboard.

Oh, that's a cat keyboard.

Okay.

So it's now now now.

And then it was just cat to a cat floating like this.

And that's so funny.

That was the thing I've ever seen.

I'm like, let's go through some of the some of the heads.

This movie is very long and I don't think we're going to get into the 100% of the plot of it.

But I do like how we set this up before we do that.

Uh, another super chat came through.

That's actually really cool from nightlife 2025 said inner seller helped validate and visualize

theories about black holes by using a real Einstein general relativity equations to render

the black holes gargantua, uh, they worked with actual physicists.

That's the kind of shit I want.

And I got the facts for you.

Give me that shit.

That's cool.

That's the shit I want.

Take my money.

The question was, why is it that rendering frames of the CGI black hole in the seller?

Why did it take 120 hours per frame to render?

Because, uh, most renderers assume that light travels in a straight line, but this

approximation breaks down in extreme conditions like near a black hole or wormhole to create

the images in your seller or renderer was written from scratch by the R&D team at double

negative in collaboration with theoretical physicist Kip Thorn.

This renderer DNGR, which means double negative gravitational renderer use the Einstein's

equations to trace the light, the path of a beam of light through curve spacetime, creating

a creative of the black hole.

This is done by treating the path as thousands of small curved steps and every step needs

hundreds of calculations.

That's the craziest filmmaking fact I've ever heard my life.

I mean, none of that makes any sense to me, which is amazing.

It's all to me.

I would have just gone into After Effects and put a PNG and then sphere eyes.

And it kind of makes it bubble out.

That's what I would have done.

So I think this will, I think I'm pretty sure this is correct, but this was like the

first time that a black hole had been visualized in that way in CG.

Obviously with all the rendering facts we just heard.

But that when the actual black hole was photographed a couple of years ago, that I guess Christopher

Nolan told the team like, I'm glad you guys are, you guys are pretty spot on with that

shit.

Like you guys kind of nailed how you assumed that it would have looked.

And then those shots of, you know, I think the only, the only movie that's done a black

hole justice since then was probably like, I liked the way Fantastic Forward did it,

which was like more fantastical or whatever, but this was still one of the coolest things

of just getting close and, and if reminded me about our wilds, when you hop into the center

of that plan, you're like, whoa, dude, this has been insane.

I had to replay out our wild.

God, I could never be a director because if I sat down in a meeting and somebody presented

the idea of like, Hey, if you really want to render this perfectly, we have to create

a custom renderer that's going to take 120 hours per frame to make this thing happen.

And I would have been like, no, absolutely, no, you heard of CGI, I'm not going to waste

all that time.

Yeah.

And the movie kicks off with, with interestingly, like a book end effect, right?

Where we get some interviews from people from the actual Dust Bowl, are talking about

like actual Dust Bowl realities.

And I think they were real people.

There were those are real people.

We accept the actress that we're going to then see later who we didn't, we don't know

at this point, but it's actually the real life, Murf, Murf, older, older version of her.

And we, we are just set up with where the world is.

It's the near future.

And humankind is sort of on the brink of extinction because there's a blight that is killing

all food.

It's all the blood.

It's now killing going after corn.

And Matthew McConaughey is an ex, actually, we don't start with them.

We start with him exploding in a plane, having to eject, which we kind of make one reference

to later.

And then we don't really have to go back.

Kind of has that little dream moment, we wake up.

From here, we are sort of set up that this world is not good.

We are, we are fighting for humanity.

He's an ex pilot for the, for NASA, but now he's a farmer.

And what's this Kevin?

That's what it would look like.

So this is the explanation of why like the actual image of a black hole, we have, it's

a different angle that we have it.

So you can see the interstellar one and then it turns to the, the higher angle.

And it like, it's the actual picture that we've taken of a black hole.

Yeah, that's right.

That's like, that's the real image of the black hole that was taken a couple of years

ago.

Yeah.

So cool.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's like when someone gets you a regular donut and then gets you like a Johnny donut.

You're like, that's a Johnny donut.

It's like bacon.

Oh, gotcha.

Gotcha.

You know how it's cool, it's bigger too.

Cool.

Uh, we're, we're getting a lot of set up here, right?

He's a farmer.

He's got two kids.

Murf is one of them.

Um, you know, she's, she's very, very, very smart.

Timothy Shalamet kind of dumb.

He's going to be a farmer forever.

I don't fuck up in school.

Yeah.

Uh, we, we meet a Michael Cain who was there, or not Michael Cain, she's a John Lithgow,

who was their grandfather and run off the rip.

They're like, you have fucking John Lithgow for this.

This is an incredible cast.

We've established that she's got a ghost of some sort.

There's a ghost that she's talking to and in her bookcase, there's lots of different

things going on.

It's Morse code.

Later, it'll tell us, I, she, I cracked the Morse code.

It's stay.

Don't worry about that.

For now, we're going to go out to the Yankees.

We're going to talk to them.

Love this line where she's in the baseball now.

She's in the baseball.

He gets called into the parent teacher conference and they're like, you know, Murf is sort

of, you know, pushing back against some of the propaganda that we're, that we're teaching

in schools, including the moon landing and he goes, wait, you don't think we landed

on the moon?

She goes, well, you know, I think we, it was a great propaganda tool that, you know,

that forced the US to start to like go bankrupt in the 80s.

And he's like, one of the things that came from that was a technology that if we had

used would have saved my wife, which is called MRI technology, and he goes, so I think

instead of, instead of talking to Murf, she's in the baseball, I'm going to take her

to a baseball game.

They're out there.

And so it's so freaking good.

They go and they see the New York Yankees were playing in like this triple A ball field.

And then, of course, the Dust Bowl hits and they all have to go in.

And so we kind of get, it's, they don't beat you over the head with how bad this world

is, but you just get that like, if something doesn't change, the slow decline is, is, is,

we're, we're one or two generations away from just humanity being dead.

Right.

We get shots later of people like in the, you know, in dust and like sort of expixiating

and then and everything hitting, but I like the idea that these read that the, the world

famous Yankees are kind of like the globe trotters, like they, I like the idea that like touring

in different towns.

Maybe they're, that's not what they're doing here, but condom, the world famous Yankees.

I got to assume that a couple of people on the pair are still like making, you know,

$120 million a year or something.

There's got to be a couple of them.

Yeah.

That'd be amazing.

Yeah.

You know, from here, we get the sort of impetus of this whole thing where they're driving.

And they see the, I think she made this happens before the, this happens before the parent

teacher conference, right?

Where they're driving.

They see the drone and he's like, oh, you have to drive.

They go through the cornfield, which by the way, they had to plant all that corn because

they just couldn't find it that season.

So it was like millions of millions of dollars to plant corn.

Yeah.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

They land the drone and it ends up, um, and ends up being like a military drone that just

been up there forever and finally came down because it ran out of energy and they finally

landed it, which is cool.

And I like that it's like packed up in the back of his truck as he pulls into the parent

teacher conference.

But again, such an insignificant scene that Hans Zimmer is just carrying on his back.

Yeah.

The corn with the bus attire chasing after a drone.

This isn't the climax of a movie.

This isn't us hoping that our characters don't die in this, you know, this is just, they're

driving through corn.

But it's this insane score by Hans Zimmer that has just, I got chills over my body.

I'm like, what the fuck with all I feel like this?

I'm watching a truck in corn.

But it's so good.

It's exciting.

I did know that he planted the corn because I, the only fun fact to know about this

movie is that he sold the corn for a profit and put that money back into the production.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

That's cool.

From here, they got the dust ball hits during the game.

They come back and then there's like, there's more code that's been, that's been put out

on, on the floor, more figures that out, they figured out that it's actually coordinates,

the coordinates taken to a secret lab.

And they get assaulted by, not assaulted, but like confronted by this blocky robot thing,

taken in.

He thinks that they're about to die.

He thinks this is a secret guard for my conspiracy.

Joe, I need, I need my daughter to know that she's going to make it home safely like

them.

We start laughing at him.

This is where we meet Ann Hathaway and her very short haircut and it's so short.

And you know, fun scene here where they're kind of joking, right?

They're like, we didn't know.

Bloods throughout the whole commentary, like later on the movie, like, man, I wonder, like,

I wonder what she's going to do with her hair later.

It's getting shorter.

It's actually the second fun fact.

I actually do know about this movie because that her hair was so short because they didn't

want to see giant.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I didn't want to put it around.

Yeah.

That's nice.

That makes sense.

I thought I was hallucinating because I, again, I didn't know much about interstellar

going into it.

I had no idea that Tars was the thing.

And so when I first see this robot, it's like all blocking and weird.

I was like, what is, what is this movie?

I didn't know that we were doing this.

Such a, such a cool thing to like, and again, the, a lot of that comes with great world

building him being like, I thought they, I thought the army just decommissioned all of

these, you know, like I, I just loved, I loved this, I love these damn robots.

He's maybe my favorite robots in any movie.

It's like straight up.

I love their tone, their whole vibe.

I like them too because I don't think that the, the sci-fi-ness of them is believable,

right?

Granted, it's, to me, it's, it's an odd, I don't believe they could move as well as

they do move.

But I like that they're so clunky and blocky because to me, it doesn't say like, hey,

this is 400 years into the future with like a actual humanoid robot.

This is just something that we built.

That's a utility.

It's very utilitarian, which is like, this is something that we use to, to, you know,

defuse bombs in war and stuff like.

Like, when you see the, when you see what the arms actually are and then how those

break up into smaller, little tiny, little limbs that are used for small, like,

operations, this is really, really cool.

Very good.

A couple more Super Chats came in, one from Levi Hunt said, watching you understand

at home is sadly a bit like the scene and I love you, man, where he tries to jam

out to rush on a shitty quiet laptop speakers.

Yeah.

And then 16-bit Otaku said, the black hole is like ILM creating the transformers.

In the first movie, using real physics, ensuring the robot parts fit their vehicle form.

I will say this 16-bit Otaku, thank you for that $5 Super Chat.

Never bring up Transformers.

You never fucking bring up Transformers again when we're talking about Interstellar, okay?

Just like I appreciate you, but like, we don't need that in here, okay?

You.

It's the word a jug gave us another Super Chats and I'll never forget getting spoiled

about the ending of the movie with the bookshelf because of the vine and remembering it for

years and time.

Oh, man.

That does suck.

We'll skip a lot.

We'll skip around here a little bit.

We meet Michael Kasey, Michael Kain and he's like, we're NASA.

We're NASA.

We're NASA.

And a half way has a terrible look where she's like, you're like, you hate that look, yeah.

I didn't love the look.

I love the look you.

I hate it.

I think Anne Hathaway has the moments in this movie that I just like the most, but that's

still, she's still good in it.

But again, for how much we talk about Christopher Nolan and how, you know, when he's making

the Batman movies and we know that everything's got to kind of be rooted in some sort of

realism.

You're not just going to have a magical villain from the, it's always going to be like,

oh, us, you know, the scarecrow makes people hallucinate because of a gas toxin.

That's like, he's never going to be like this crazy sort of like over the top thing.

Everything's going to be sort of grounded in realism.

But then there are the moments of, let me hit this little button.

Wall comes up.

There's a shuttle on the other side of this wall.

How?

Why?

What is the layout of this building?

Where are they?

It makes no sense.

And I love it.

Like I was like, who gives a shit?

The movie's awesome.

I, from here, they're like, look, we need you to, we got the secret project.

We didn't want to tell anyone about it because it's not a very good PR look, knowing that

we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars.

But we, we're, we're trying to get everyone off of, off of Earth, basically, the, the,

the McGuffin to this movie, the main plot of this movie is like, something happened.

There's a big, there's a big black hole out in your Saturn.

And that's going to, that we, that just was put there.

We don't know how the hell it got there.

We sent an advanced team out of three scientists.

They went to three different planets.

We need to go check on those planets to see which ones have it a bowl.

And then we're, we're, meanwhile, we're trying to solve this equation for gravity that's

going to get, allow us to basically take mass amounts of people into space and shoot them

across space and get them to this new world.

But until we do that, we need someone to go out and chase after that.

And you're the only pilot we have left.

You have to go.

And he goes, I signed me up immediately, I hate my fucking family.

My son's kind of dumb.

Yeah.

And my, and my daughter and I just don't, we don't get along.

Yeah.

Right.

Uh, this, of course, it spreads a great scene where he's sitting outside.

And John Lithka was like, Hey, man, you're making the wrong choice here.

Like you should be here for your family.

And he has that great moment where he's like, and do you want to read this in the kind

of hand?

Do you have a line?

Do you have a line?

Do you have a line?

Do you have a line?

Do you have a line?

Do you have a line?

Do you have a line?

Do you have a line?

Do you have a line?

Do you have a line?

Do you have a line?

Look down and worry about our place and the dirt.

Wow.

Han woulda line, man.

Really good.

And he's like, I got to go quick.

Of course, Murf, his daughter does not like this.

Um, I love that he is like, we have to figure this out.

Murf, we can't leave it like this.

I have to go.

We can't leave it like, meanwhile Timothy Shallamay is just kind of creeping on the

corner like I wish my dad loved me.

Can get your truck dad?

Have my truck.

He's like, your truck now, boy.

Uh, we move on.

And this is the first time in this movie where I want to call this out, I called it

The commentary, but this is the first time in the short video that no, the short

here is when I got to talk about things where we're also not going to talk about

Transformers anymore. So we'll talk here. Just please take that one. Yeah. Okay.

Well, Venmo, you know, she doesn't want to talk to him. And he's like, we can't,

we can't leave it like this. I have to go. You have to save by

me basically because he'd be promised to be back. I'll promise I'll be back.

And we might be the same age that when, when I'm back, but I'll promise

great acting moment from her, from her when he's holding her. And she asks,

when do you come back? And there's a silence there. And she has a, fuck,

you don't know. You don't know. You don't, oh, my God, heartbreaking. He gives

her the watch. Of course, he's like, take my watch, which got broken during

one of the storms that get fell off. She threw it across the thing. That's what

happened. He puts the watch on her. She throws it across the thing. Of course,

she has decoded the message, one of the other messages that says, stay. So she's

like, I know what the ghost is, huh? I mean, it's telling you to stay and he's like,

I have to go, I have to go, I have to go. And then it hits you like a ton of

fucking breaks. He gets in his car and there's this unbelievable shot where the

camera is mounted to the fender of the truck as it's pulling away. And as it's

pulling away, you see the house get low smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller.

And then it's a reverse perspective. She finally realized that she needs to say

about her dad and she runs out after him, but it's too late. And, and then from

that point on, but as we're, as we're going from that, they don't even

fuck. We have law. We have launch prep in four seconds.

The shaking of the truck, the shaking of the truck fender. And then it goes to

just the fucking like the missile and the rings coming off. And oh my God,

it's no time. All of it's so fucking good. And we're up there. We're up there

into the into space. And now we get a little exposition that I don't think

needed to be in here, but it was for us dumb sticks. We don't quite understand

how wormholes work, where Matthew O'Connor, hey, who is an astronaut for NASA?

Goes, hey, how do wormholes work again? You got to imagine this is not the

first time he's thinking about this, right? And so, of course, they give us,

they give us the pace of paper with the, the pen through. It's like, well,

this is how it works. And it's like, okay, I guess that's a very easy way to

describe it to me, but you would think he would know anyway.

Well, I do want to know a blessing agrees with me on this point.

That the actor David Guiassi, who plays Romali.

Um, he's, he's got a good looking bald head, right? When he's, you know,

because he's got the old man bald thing where it's like, the hair's in the back.

Oh, yeah, that's great. But, you know, obviously he looked, he looks

hot as shit here. But in the movie, you know, he's, he's got the, what we would

mainly think of is like, oh, you don't want to have that bald look where it's

like the hair around the back. I think he sports it so well. I, you know,

I think it looks so great on him. Yeah, I don't think it looks bad at all.

Yeah. Um, we go, we go through Saturn. Uh, we go through the little, the little

world on Saturn. We get the first shot of, really, I think that I think honestly,

the most stunning shot in this whole fucking movie, which is that it's just the rings of Saturn

and this tiny little pin prick, like lights that's refreshing off the ship that they're going

through. So, so I think that at some point, they, those are the eye max scenes.

That's why I'm sitting there just like, what the fuck, dude? I think we just was worth a

team dollar ticket, you know, and a Ford dinner tonight. That's how I was doing in Austin.

Eat the pickle. Uh-huh.

That we, uh, sorry, we talked to the space station as well, which is cool. That was another

piece of thing where they had to like, figure out like, uh, oh, right, right. We go through the thing

and then we come to basically our first planet where they're trying to figure out where to go

through first. They're trying to figure out if they want to go to Edmunds planet or Miller's

planet or whatever. They end up going to Miller's planet. And this is where the science to me

starts getting fucking insane because they're like, this is next to a giant black hole named

gargantua. It's fucking huge. And the physics are such that there's so much gravity pulling this

that as you get closer to it, it is dilating. It's causing a time dilation where the closer you

get to this planet, the dip time doesn't work the same. Yeah. You're getting closer and closer and

closer to it. And it's making time. It's going faster there. And it's basically allowing every

it's back on our planet. It's fucking way longer. So it's just like, I would, if I'm Christopher Nolan

and there, or if I'm the crew and he's explains to me, I'm like, I don't need any, this is sick as

fuck. I don't need any more explanation. You don't got to have the most provable science shit.

This is an awesome concept, right? And a cool way to like make some intentions. Definitely

where my brain starts working over time, trying to understand what's happening and like having to

be like, all right, I just got to let go of the wheel. Yeah, gravity's a wheel. I just at some

point, well, like this man, gravity's crazy. Yeah. And I just believe it. Gravity as well. We go

and this, this whole sequence is fucking amazing. That thing that trips me out the most,

though, is they find the, they find the astronaut shuttle and all the equipment, but it's been

destroyed. And they're like, how did, how do we find this? If she's been here for so long,

and they're like, that's not how the time works. It chances are she just landed like through it

and then it took that blue my brain. And it just destroyed. And then the wave hit and it just

destroyed her. Of course, they see they're like, one of those mountains, like those aren't

mountains. Those are waves. And that's in the terror sets in of like, oh shit, this whole planet

for the most part, it's covered in water. And it's just the gravitational pull of the fucking

massive black hole above it. It's just taking massive tsunami waves and destroying everything.

Hummy with the good hair dies. Great. Beautiful hair. And half the way gets yelled at because he's

like, I told you to get back to the ship. I was like, I do the best I can with this short haircut.

Yeah. Really small haircut. Really small haircut. But man, that guy, yeah, the dude who died,

hot dude from American beauty. Yeah. Yes. His, uh, we're beautiful in this bag. I needed,

I wish we could have paused during that watch party thing or during the commentary. Because like,

I don't know if there's a human on this planet that has more hair per capita or like per square

centimeter. This dude had like probably three times the normal amount, you know, it's thick.

It did not let my inner out. It is like a black. It was a black. It was a black hole of hair.

They narrowly escape, but they've been down there for at this point, what 20 years,

something like that. I can't remember what the timeframe was, but it's been decades at this point.

They go up and Romley is just, he's just crazy. This is crazy. The question I asked Andy,

and I don't know if I'll float to you blessing because I feel confident you'll align to this

question properly. How much of that time do you think you spent up there just going in?

Oh, so much likely. I mean, what, you're there for years. Now, my question is, was he waiting,

like, was time for him same as time for people on earth, probably not, right? Because of

relativity, but like, I think, I think relatively, you know, but he was, he was there for 20 years,

or something. Oh, it was 20 years. Yeah, he was like, I've been up here for, I forgot how much

it is, checked. Time for him. Yeah. It was a bot. It was like 15 years, but he slept for some of it.

So he put himself in like, hyper sleep for some of it. But he did, but, you know, I think the

crazier part is just that preparation, that mental prep of when they're making all the plans,

and they're like, well, we get down there, we do this and that, everybody about a boom,

we're in and out. And that'll be about three years ish. Yeah. And he goes, oh, three,

and him up there, because he's a scientist, because he's prepped for this mission, to just like,

not shall only be able to go, yeah, three years, that's like, that's time for me to kind of come up

with some calculations. It's funny, because he said it. And like, I don't think I processed it.

Like, something about all the planning here. I was like, okay, okay. And like, I'm saying,

I'm like saying, go ahead of myself, not understanding the really like, yeah, he's going to be,

he's researching, like, he is locking in for years to research this thing. And so for them to not

come back for 20 years, which is only what an hour, I forget how long they were down there for,

but not that long. Yeah, it was like 15, 20 minutes. No, you know what, it was about an hour.

It was about an hour, because they had to fly. He remember he goes, it's going to take 45 minutes

for the engine. The engines had to come back. That's right. Oh my God. What, what a, yeah,

imagine the hard drop in that moment. And also before that, before that, we also get the sequence,

before they even head of the planet where, before they go into hyper sleep, before they get

in your Saturn, he has a more, everybody's going to hyper sleep. And Matthew would kind of, he's like,

what's the, what's the deal with her and right and Edmonds? Edmonds. Yeah. Wolf Edmonds, his full name,

by the way. Fucking so well. Wolf Edmonds. And then, you know, like, are they together or what?

And he's like, I don't know. What's your honesty setting at? You don't have a good poker face,

though. God, so great. That was good. I like that. We pop back up all hell breaks. He's like,

fucking what the fuck are you gonna do now? Right? So we, this is the, this is the, this is the

other, I mean, this is the scene for me. Yeah. This is the scene where he sits down finally. And he

realizes that there's decades of, of messages waiting for him. One of which is his son who's like,

hey, dad, you know, met the one, met the love of my life. Grandpa, grandpa died. Then he cuts

some, he's like, we were having kids. You're a grandfather, which is great. It's Casey Affleck now.

And then one of the kids died and case, and you can just, Casey Affleck's affect his whole

affect just changes to more and more depressed as he realizes that this, there's just no hope.

And he's like, I'm, they told me to stop doing this now. We don't know if you're

going to talk. Well, yeah, we're sorry. She won't talk. She won't talk. She won't talk to you.

And then right as he's about to turn it off, it cuts. And it's Jessica Chastain. She goes, hey,

dad, fuck, I wasn't going to do this. But, you know, today's my birthday. And today I'm older

than you were when you left. Like you said, you were going to come home and you didn't. Yeah.

And then she turns off the fucking monitor. And it cuts to her perspective. And my mind is

blow. Yeah. I'm like, are you kidding me? That is the coolest. No, I'm telling device ever.

Wow, Mac, we're gone. Hey, they just sit on him. And he's just crying the entire time. And

happiness and sadness and all these ranges of emotion that are hitting him. As you can actually

tell, they probably just played that for him. So he could just react to it. So fucking good.

And from here, we get exposition where in her world, with the real quick multi-seven in the

YouTube chat says, this part, I ought to be, I ought to be cry each time. Is it kind of like when I

open mouth cried during Avengers Endgame, when all the, when all like the crescendo is happening

with the, with the on your left and area and in Avengers, I'm like, it wasn't a, it wasn't a

teary eyed. It wasn't a sniffling. It was, yeah. When you got the open mouth, you're being hit

like really emotionally hard. Tell you know, there's a, there's a master at work there. Uh-oh.

Oh, no. Oh, he's giving us the look. Greg. Greg's picking up a mic now too. I don't like this.

This is makes it official. You think he cares about interstellar? I think he doesn't give a

shit about it. What is it going to say then? Unless it's a video gaming plan, it's PlayStation.

We got to cut this short and do you care for the record? I love interstellar. It's a fantastic

movie. Thanks for reviewing very well. I'm going to leave you. I've just had something on my mind.

Sure. And I thought I would come set the record straight. Oh, it's a high coup. Do you mind me

just having a moment? Please go for it. Thank you. Andy's got a movie.

Dear Andy. Yeah, you got here. Dear Andy. Hey, yeah. Okay. Do I have to respond?

I'm going to start if you look to the right end because I started there.

I knocked out. Dear Andy. Today, I'm kind of funny games daily. I made fun of your voice

and you made fun of my cough. That hurt my feelings. But it also showed me that I probably hurt your

feelings. I'm sorry, I cherish our friendship. Oh, thank you. Well, it's very

funny. I want you to listen to know that Greg wrote that in his diary. Yeah.

That I assume he puts next to his hope chest. It also wasn't games daily. It was a game

chest. Yeah. He was so rattled. He was so rattled by it.

He really got to hear it. Yeah. It was a moment. I said like, you know, one thing I like

and Greg went, I don't think I ain't lying. And I was like, did you make just make fun of my voice?

And he was like, yeah, I was like, okay, Greg. Yeah. And he was like, damn, he went for the jug.

Do you got to come correct? We got a real personal there. Uh, we cut over to Jessica Chastain and

this is where we get a little bit more of the story, which actually is that, uh, uh, uh, uh,

Michael Keynes character never actually solved the equation. I never actually meant

solved the equation. I like him. Well, he lied because he needed them to go off and actually

just re-colonize what will be Edmunds planted at some point with all the, uh, the, the,

eggs that they were taking with them as well, because they have no idea. They don't have what

they need. They don't have the data. They need to actually solve the gravitational problem.

Another goddamn fucking Christopher. No thing. There's whole things of space station.

I was like, God, this is, this makes zero sense. Yeah. As it made a concrete, but it's awesome.

Like, oh, they're like, oh, it's, it's a centrifuge, right? Or what is it? It's a centrifuge here.

That's a triple four. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, that's out there. So, so stupid, but awesome.

Like, I love shit like that. And yeah, this moment is, I think just so brilliantly done by Michael

Keynes, like, you know, of course, you need this uptiles. It's hard to kind of, when the music's

porn and it's hard to hear the accent of a dying man, but it's so well done. It's, it's this

and it's when fucking Gordon's in the chair or in the bed, uh, in dark night rises, where he's

like, he's like, what if Batman can't come back and he's like, he must. Remember that scene,

you're like, I can't understand the fucking word he's saying in that. It's not putting old actors

in, in, in hospital beds, Nolan. If a Christ sick use ADR occasionally. Okay. I like here.

Really sad. Beautifully shot though. This is one of those scenes that I pointed out when we were

doing the, uh, uh, do not go dead. Who did that? When we were doing the action, the commentary where

I, Hoitman Hoitman was, it was talked, I read an article with him in American cinematographer

magazine. He was like, we were at, we were shooting like a 1.4 F stop, which means the depth of

field was like here. And they were like, it was so hard to keep just one of his eyes and focus

because they wanted him kind of dipping out and like into like these faded living. It's so

fucking cool. From here, we got a decision to make their Andy. Well, first off, she goes,

she calls back to branch like, brand. Did you know? Did you know that they were lying to me? Did

you know? And brands like, I don't know anything. This haircut's fucking rotting my brain. Yeah.

And then they got to make a choice, right? They got to make a choice. It's going to Edmunds

planning or man's planet and Edmunds plan is promising. But man basically said, hey, this is the

plan. It come to this planet. And there's, they should have gone to Edmunds planet. But guess

what? She was in love with Edmund. And she, she hits you with the fucking truth. She's like,

but love is this thing that we don't know and is very powerful. And it's an unquantifiable force

that and also I touched the ghost hand. Right. I touched the ghost's hand. Like we should go to

where I love. And he's like, that's not based in any sort of reality. We should go to the fucking,

I mean, I agree with him, unfortunately, we should go to the man because man's saying this is the

plan. So they go to man's planet and they find nothing but ice. And blessing, would you believe

that nobody knew that that Matt Damon was in this movie? Really? Nobody. Nobody. They kept it.

They didn't tell anyone. He wasn't at any of the screenings. The red carpet shit. It was really

a surprise. I didn't know that fucking thing opens up. And it took me so long to even in the movie.

I'm like, realized like, oh my god. Yeah. What the fuck? I did the same thing where he appeared

on screen. I was like, I didn't know this is that. And I was like, that's not Damon, right? That

Damon. And he, I mean, great moment here too. He just starts crying. He's just like, and it's

so good because you just know that he's been there for so long and he's been so desperate that he

sees another human being and he just fucking starts gushing and crying. Well, when he mentions

the last time I put myself to sleep, I didn't say the timer.

Yeah, I just expected to die here. Like I was not expecting to ever wake up like, oh,

man, the just the dire feeling of all of that. It's got to just be so terrifying.

Chris and DC in the chat said he must be a good guy. Yeah. Cause it's Matt Damon. And of course,

he's not. He's been, he lied. He fabricated all the data because he just wanted to get the

fuck out of there. And he's then there's this gut guard just terrible scene or gut, you know,

gut wrenching scene where he's like, I can't watch. I can't listen to you because he sets

maximum kind of half basically to kill him. And he's like, few people have been tested like me

throughout history. Like, don't judge me. Like you just have no idea what I've been through.

But I do love that. I mean, that fake out is so awesome because I,

well, it's they seeded out, right? Well, he had to take, he took a part as his tarz or whatever

that his, his version of the robot. Yeah, he turned off his robot because he didn't want it to,

he didn't want people to find evidence that he was lying about everything. But as he's sitting

there explaining everything and below this ice layer, it's, it's, it's this sort of oxygen, you

know, it's, yeah, not pure, but, but there's life. There's green. There's, and, and like,

the excitement of that. And you and the, like, I never at once at one point thought that he was

lying, but as they keep on walking and they do the most perfect, like, my favorite thing in

just media or film or TV or whatever is like the different planes of action happening. And

but the moment I remember the most is obviously like something like return of the Jedi go into,

you know, the, the forest moon and then dealing with, you know, but then also I think of

that season, the Game of Thrones with the wildfire. And we're going back to the church and we're

going back to the Queen and we're, we're seeing all this stuff and you're, and it's all mounting

the music is rising. You're like, some fucked up stuff is happening. And as you're noticing that

scientists is looking at the robot, like, I can't figure this shit out. And they're walking over

there with, and, and the music. And you're like, there's just something real off. And this is

fucked up. And I do not want to see what's about to happen. And it's so awesome. So awesome.

Of course, man gets away. He goes up at the space. He's like, he gets up there. We're fucked.

And so they override. I think he takes his radio off because he doesn't want to hear him

crying. But he's like, do you see your kids? Oh my God. That's a fucking talking about how when

we see our kids, our, our number one thing is a human is we want to survive. So when we're about

to die, we see the ones that matter to us the most so that our body can find a way to live,

to live. And just as he's like suffocating, do you see your kids? God damn, what a gangster line.

Back up the space station. He's like, he, he docs were screwed and then Tars is like, or maybe it's

case at this point I forget. Oh, Romley died with the explosion. Romley dies the explosion.

Uh, back up. He's like, he's like, I locked him out of the system and he's like, uh, he's like,

I forgot what the line is, but he's basically like, some of us are not as trusting as you guys are.

Cause cars knew it was like something's up here. So we locked him out of the station. And so

they're trying to, they have to come over the inner comments. She's like, don't man. Don't,

you don't know how to do this. Open this up. If you open it up, it's not going to be. And he's

midway through line where he's like, time will tell and it's going, boom, fuck silence.

Sick, man. And then we get banger sequence number. Fuck you think we're done with it because he's

like, this thing is about to hit the atmosphere of man's planet. It's spiraling out of control.

We have to match the rotation. And he goes, he's like, Tars, if, if I can't do this by black out,

you got to take the stick. And he's like, no problem. Go underneath the thing and it's rotating.

So he has to rotate. No, but then he finds the fucking thing. It's just, it's just the setup of

like, I'm going to match the rotation. I can imagine what? And then you hear it. And then Tars is

like, Hey, that's not possible. He's like, I don't give a damn. I'm fucking man. He McConaughey.

I'm in space. Oh, no, no, no, no. But the way this is shot is so fucking beautiful because he

matches the rotation as he finally lines it up. And Tars has to take his little hand out. And he

has to actually be the one to actually like pilot it up this way, which is cool. But as he matches

it up, you see the ship spinning, right? But the way they shoot the perspective of it,

loses her feeling. Yeah, she loses that. Show me she passes out. Yeah, pass it out. It matches.

And when they finally match the rotation, the ship to your perspective stops rotating and the

universe around them starts rotating because we're locked in with their perspective. When

reality, they're the ones rotating, the universe is standing still, but because they're locked in

and because the way they shot it. Yeah, they're here. So you can see how it's going with the whole

fucking thing as a whirlwind around them. And it finally hits and he finally gets them out of there.

And it's just an incredible sequence that if you watched in 70 millimeter, you'd be like,

I could leave this movie right now. This is the greatest movie. You leave that theater and you need

this like, you feel like you want to, you're exhausted. Exhaust my back in that sequence is the

mode like hold the music so loud. I'm like, Oh my God. What do you mean you're going to match? How

is it? It's awesome. From here, they're like, Okay, we have two choices, right? I'm going to go

back to see my kids. You're going to head on to Edmunds Planet. We're going to slingshot ourselves

around Gargantua because we don't have enough fuel. We're going to burn all the fuels slingshot

ourselves around Gargantua. And you're going to make it over there and you're going to take the babies

and raise them with Edmunds, hopefully still live our IPs not. And then I'm going to go back right.

All right. Actually, I think he says he's going to go with her. But instead of going with her,

he's and Tars is like, Hey, if we're doing that, shoot me into the black hole and I'll get the

quantum data that we need that the doctor back on earth needs. And then I'll try to ping that back

to you guys so you guys can have it, right? And he's like, Okay, that's pretty cool. So as they're

launching launch lift off whatever she launches. And then he goes cool. And then he starts his

sequence to basically just get jettisoned out into the black hole too because he's like, Hey,

I'm sorry, I lied to you. Like, we just don't have enough. There's not enough. There's too much

mass in the ship for you to get over there. We have to shed as much of it as humanly possible.

I'm going with it. And so he and I think Tars, well, Tars gets shot off. But it's case gets shot

off. Him and Tars go and get he gets shot into the black hole. And this is where it just

shit starts getting fucking nuts. First off, we get hit by like the sea of like space dust and

shit. And then his his ship starts getting turned apart. It's like eject eject eject. And he's

I'm like, Jack, the fuck are you going to you're going to eject into the middle of a plot and he

ejects and he's just and then he gets sucked into the Tesseract, which is a 5D. It's a 3D

construction of a five dimensional universe that they have constructed for him. And I don't know

how he quite figures this out. But he's like, it's not they. It's us. It's us from millennials

into the future, making this for ourselves. We couldn't figure out how to communicate. But we

are our own angels. Right. And he sees himself like back in the catch his hand half the way from

earlier. I don't know if that happens. He was the hand. He was the hammer. And then we see that

he was the ghost the entire time. Is it Murph? I was your ghost. Murph, don't let me leave. Don't

let me leave. Murph. And he's crying. And then Tars comes over and Tars is like, hey, I'm here.

I've got the data. We can get to heard the data. But I don't know how to do it. He goes, I don't

know how to do it. I'll spend the next four billion years taking this incredible insane amount

of quantum data that you have to imagine is terabytes and terabytes and terabytes of information.

And I'll just program it into the second hand of this watch and Morse code. And I don't know

how long that took. But once he's done, the test rack starts pounding back and folding back

down on itself and he gets shot back out into Saturn. And it's so cool because he goes,

and then it's just the dead silence of him floating in space by himself in his suit. And the

little tiny like space cop coming toward him, like the space ambulance coming toward him.

And he gets put on Cooper station. Bless, what were your thoughts as we are

in this sort of because at this moment, the me and Nick had the same thoughts that we felt during

the first watch of like, oh, we're done with kind of hard sci-fi now. Now this is what are we

doing now? Because that's where I just started getting questions, questions or having questions

about like, all right, so he's the ghost. It's a part that loses a lot of people, Greg. Yeah,

because like I legitimately, I was like, I have to just be okay with not understanding

what the fuck is happening. Because for me, it was like, all right, so he's the one who sent

himself to the space station. But he's also telling himself to stay like, is he responsible for

all the messaging? He's responsible. He's the ghost. He's the one that he's the ghost. And you see

him go through it. That's why he said stay because at this point, he was trying to like talk

her out of letting him go. He first got there and he's seeing himself.

Yes. And then he realizes, oh, shit. I need to go. I actually

information. Right. And then because we have the information, if I don't go, so it's him sort

of regretting, like he said stay, but he was like, fuck, I shouldn't done that. So that's when he

gives the coordinates to NASA. And then that's when he goes, okay. So he starts giving her all

of the information she needs. And then finally, he's like, just look at the goddamn watch.

Yeah. And he programed and she, when she finally looks at the watch, she's like, holy shit,

my dad was my ghost. It's not just a broken watch. It is moving in Morse code,

moving more cool as fuck. Super cool. And then Eureka goes, we figured out how to basically,

that actually had a master gravity. So we could get everyone off our earth and two

Edmonds. That actually fixes a lot for me. Then my, my main question becomes the day. And like

the, the day from my person, they're non-binary, they're there. The day for my perspective is,

I don't, I don't understand. He makes a little bit of leap in logic here. I'm not sure if there's

a lot of exposition to back it up. But he basically goes, this is us from the future, from the future,

from like so far off in the future that we have that time that they, they have mastered five

dimensions, which are space, time, gravity. But they don't, they don't, they're untethered from time

anymore. But is it, is it the idea that people are doing for him when he's doing from Earth in

that moment? It's the idea that they, yes. So they're, they're like, we don't, we have to,

it's my understanding. And Kevin probably knows a little bit more about this. So Kevin,

pop on if you, if you understand the, the physics of this, because I want to get this right

for people in the chat, it's my understanding that they're just a hyper advanced society of

what they used to be humans that we've evolved to. Yeah. But are now five-dimensional beings that

don't, that can't really, that are untethered from time because of their mastery of gravity.

And they need to help humanity in this moment. But they don't really know how to. So they've

created this thing and found him. And he thinks it's him, by the way, it's not him. It actually

murph that they're trying to get a hold of. But they're using him as sort of that. Which is why they

made this 5D Tesseract or the 3D Tesseract thing, which is just all of space, all of every single

moment in time through that fucking bookcase that could possible. And I have to find it to basically

help wrap the way I have to rationalize it for myself is that all time is happening on an even

field. Well, that's the idea is like it's time for us is linear for them. It's not it's not linear.

Okay, Kevin. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nick, you're 100% correct. Yeah. So that's why that, and that's why

they have trouble communicating. So like we don't know what point is going to help you. We're just

going to create this tool for you to help yourself. There's the question I want to then be say,

but I guess this solves it. Is that like the only way for that for humans who advanced that far

would have been for a bootstrap to like save people through murph or whatever. Right. But that's not

but because that's that's that's that's linear. That's linear. Thank you. Okay. You know what? I'm

too linear right now. You're chilling. I had a crazy. That's why it's it's it's I think about

this and I think about Danny Villeneuve's arrival. Arrival will fuck your head up because arrival

is about circular time. It's about beings that don't experience time in a linear fashion. And so

when they come back to do this thing, they don't they're like, we don't know how to communicate with

you because we're you're living time this way. And we're we can basically communicate in any time

period. What's their version of time is not our version of time. I think that's real. Do you think

that exists? I fucking know I had this. I hope I had this thought. I had this thought that I'm glad

some other dude on Instagram Reels had the same thought that I did. When Casey Affleck goes,

we were going to name the baby Koop. So the baby's name would have been Koop Kooper.

Koop Kooper. I thought you were going to say the baby ends up being the Koop. No,

because there's like Murphy's last name is Kooper. Yeah. Their last name is Kooper. They call

Koop. And the baby we're going to name Koop Dad Koop Kooper. You are a dumb son.

Dumb as hell. God damn. So he comes and he's like, Hey, where are you? He's like, Oh, you're on

Miller's you're on Cooper station. He goes, nice for you to name a station after me. And they're

like, Oh, bro, nobody gives a fuck about you. Yeah. Your daughter, but they should know the space

time, you know, fucking equation. And it's like, okay, why is she never, she never mentioned

them. Yeah, I figured out myself. She doesn't bless it makes all the credit. So she's the one.

Obviously, it's revealed that she's the woman in the in the video at the front that he puts

her in the house, which is a recreation of their house on this on this Cooper station. And he's

like, I would love to see my daughter. And he goes, well, she's on the way right now. We told

her she shouldn't be because she's way too old, but she she she found out that Cooper was

that was still alive. And what's this fucking last name? One is Cooper. No, his first name is

something and his last name is Cooper. They just call him Cooper. Okay. Yeah. So they're like,

we we found out that you were still alive while horses couldn't keep her way. Her whole family is

flying here too. And he goes, Oh, my whole family. And in my brain, I'm like, the whole family,

clearly, they know who the fuck you are. Grandpa, who saved you, right? Yeah, he hates this.

All of them, dude, my grandfather was coming out of quantum space. And I had heard all this

stuff about him. I'd be like, I have to say hello to him at least. He walks into the room.

These are all strangers. Like, what the fuck? He walks into the room. But everyone goes,

who the fuck is that? Grand Pappy. I have photos of you at my house. Like, I have photos of my

grandmother. Granted, these are just strangers now. Granted, I hate this. There is a time-traveling

grandpa. And he's grandpa with a fucking hot, by the way. So if I my grandpa walked in,

he looked like Matthew Connor, I'd be like, I have questions. Yeah. Like, you're good. Why do I

look like this? And you look like that? What the fuck happened? Just so bizarre. Go back to the

tester rack and make it so that I'm six foot one. Can you do that? I die. I digress.

We have a moment here where she's like, I knew you'd come back. And she has the watch on,

which is great. And she's like, you know, my dad said he was coming home. And he did.

It's fucking great scene. Yeah. Yeah. The rest of the family is like,

what the fuck is this guy? It's weird. Now, Granted, you could argue, you could argue that NASA

didn't tell anyone this stuff because it was a covert operation. But at a certain point,

she fucking said it, right? Yeah. Family. I mean, I mean, years has been,

it's, I mean, at this point, it's been, she's, well, she saw the equation when she was older than

him 30. And now she's in her 80s or 90s. So it's been like, it's been like 70 years. Yeah.

Oh, I thought it was longer. She has great grankets. There's some reason I thought she like

had injected herself with like non-aging. No, no, no. I thought it'd been hundreds of years.

I think she's like mid 90s or something like that. And it's only been, because they were able to

get that space station off of Earth or whatever. Yeah. But she left, I mean, he left when she was

12. So it's been 80 years, something like that. Yeah. So she comes back and she's like, look,

you did a great job, Dad. This is great. This is my dad, everybody. Yeah, but wonderful.

Hey, family, this is my dad. And he's, and she's, and but instead of that, she goes, she just go,

I hate this. And he's like, what? You know, we get one moment with them. And then she's like,

I know she's out there still. What are you talking about? You don't even know how to think,

I don't even know if I had a thing for in half there. I can't get into that hair, right? I don't

know if it's, I don't know. I like the short hair. So she's like, no, she's like, no, no,

dad should ever have to see like their, their daughter die. I appreciate that one. She goes,

I have my whole family here. We've had this whole life together. Great job, Dad. They don't

know about you. I haven't mentioned you at all. Like so. And again, you're basically just a

weirdo to them right now. So shitty. You're just stranger in the house. Just what the fuck?

So she goes, but you know, she's out there waiting for you. She go to her. And so he takes,

and this to me blessing, I'm so basic. I'm so, I'm so basic. I am such a sucker for,

oh, you saw the ship at the beginning of the movie. Well, this is the slightly darker,

sleeker version of the ship. Oh, and your, your costume was white. Well, this is the charcoal

gray version of the costume now, because it's just been evolved. And he gets in the new outfit,

and he takes tires with him or case, whichever one's fucking left. And they go, and he goes, okay,

it's time to go off. And then we see Anne Hathaway in her cool place and like the fucking desert

and red rock desert and Edmonds is dead. So she's got no one. And then he's like, I'm going to go

to her. And that's it. That's it. I know. I'm like, I wouldn't, Matthew McConaughey be like,

I want to, I want to meet my grand daughter's daughter. Yeah. My daughter. No, I don't want to go

to Edmonds. I don't care about Anne Hathaway. We didn't like each other that much. There's no love

story. You didn't go through something that made you forget who your daughter was. And now you

have no connection to like, I'd be like, you have, I'd be like, Murph, I have so many cool stories

from you. It was like 20 years later, we came up and Romney was just, fuck, there's sperm everywhere.

He just came all over the ship to believe that it's crazy. And then he blew up and then stop

the spinning of the anti-mortem. I'm telling him about Madden everywhere. Oh, by the way, man,

piece of shit. That guy's a piece of shit. He tried to kill us all. But no, he gets five seconds

with his daughter. And then he off. He's never gonna see her again. I think us, you, you breaking down

the moment to moment of this movie has made me like it so much more because like I,

one of my first things was saying that like I feel like pacing wise and fell slow. But yeah,

that second half was picks up so strongly. It's like the moment you land on that first planet is

like, damn, from then on, shit is just fucking fire throughout throughout the rest of the movie.

It's you watch it again. I got a lot of watches again. I love this fucking film. Amy's got to get

out of here. He's got a movie at two o'clock. But I read this last couple of super chats and then we'll

wrap it up. One comes from Tyler Wallace and Nick. If you reach the edge of the of the black hole,

the event horizon. If you look backwards, you see you can look back into all of time. I don't

know if that's accurate, but that sounds good. Jim Lederfield said, I love this story. Zimmer

told about creating the theme without knowing the plot of the movie. He said the piece he wrote

was inspired by fatherhood and it helped Nolan realize the heart of the story. And finally,

of Dan, the fan of four said, did you know that in the Academy Museum, they have tar,

they have tarz and props from the movie. I did not know that. That's awesome. I should absolutely

go see that. Ladies and gentlemen, that has been Interstellar. We're gonna do hoppers next week.

So please join us for that if you want to continue our Pixar in review. Andy Blessing. Poppers

popping off poppers off. So it's talking about it. People were saying it's like, we don't say

pop. Hey, this is the best, you know, hop, this is the best Pixar movie in a while. And maybe

Pixar's back and maybe, maybe Kevin, maybe that dizzy didn't fuck Pixar. Wow. Wow.

Gentlemen, until next time. Love. Love.

Bye.
