Do you remember The Day After Tomorrow? That’s the one where Mother Nature decides she’s had enough of our BS and lays the Smackdown on the entire planet. Denis Quaid wins the Father of the Year award for hiking across the entire country, which has become a snow-laden tundra, to get to his son. Jake Gyllenhal has to outrun a bunch of cartoon wolves, and the survivors burn books to stay alive instead of wood from chairs and desks. Yeah, that one. We don’t remember this movie being Shakespeare or anything, but we do remember a whole lot of people biting the big one and a lot of destruction. So join us as we go back to 2004 and watch the Blockbuster Disaster Film of the Decade.
It's all I was expecting.
Oh, no.
I didn't want anything deep and meaningful.
No, like they tried to do like the climate change
and they tried to, oh, you got to be a better parent.
I'm like, oh, that.
If my kids think I'm trekking from Washington, DC
to New York City to save them, wow.
But even though it is part of like mother nature,
correcting itself.
What about the low kid in the hospital?
Would you stay?
OK, you know what?
Here's my one question.
Because I was waiting.
I think you know the mic.
Yes, you'd be in that truck with the power.
All right, Peter.
I see you.
Peace out, Peter.
I know that would be your answer.
I'd leave him a drinking box and some animal crackers.
Fresh.
All right, Peter.
Here's your book.
I'm just going to go grab something.
I'll be right back.
Here.
Sometimes I wonder about you.
Lights, camera, and action.
Welcome to the, I remember liking that movie podcast.
Remember those childhood movies you loved?
We're going to watch them again and find out
if they're still as amazing as you remember.
Let's get ready to join Anna and Jimmy as they go back
and watch those movies you remember being, oh, so awesomely good.
Horror movies that scared.
Comedy movies that dare.
Induction movies so preposterously ludicrous
that they defied the laws of common sense.
Now, here's your hosts Anna Santos and Jimmy Coats.
Welcome to the, I remember like of that movie podcast.
Today, I have a theme going this year.
All mine are winter related.
I have picked some ski movies that weren't that great.
I picked some movies with wolves that were pretty depressing,
but I'm continuing on and I got this because my snow banks,
I paid to get my driveway done.
And the machine comes and it starts
and it goes down our driveway.
The, the banks on the side of my, our taller than I am.
And going to school, they don't get the sidewalks done.
It's like, oh my God, it's like 10 times harder walking
through the snow to get my, and it's the only real exercise
after my operation that I get.
So I tried to walk all the time and I hate it.
But it brought me to the day after tomorrow.
And I have, I've gone to the, I went to the theater
and watched this movie.
I loved it.
I own it.
I have it here, the DVD.
I would like to watch it on 4K.
I'm almost positive.
I'm still going to love it.
I've not seen it in a while.
I have not seen it probably in 15 years at least.
Oh wow.
Yeah, I have not seen it in a bit.
But I have seen it a handful of times.
It's one of those movies that might not be the greatest movie
or make the most sense, but like Prometheus and movies
that I just, like World War Z.
I just like them.
But yeah, I'm almost positive that I'm going to like this movie.
What's the last time you saw the day after tomorrow?
I did the math and the last time I saw day after tomorrow
was about six years ago.
And here's why.
Because Richard also prompted me to write a few movie choices
for a future podcast.
Because at the beginning of the pandemic,
I went through, like once we realized, oh shit,
we're not just staying home for two or three weeks.
This is going to take longer.
I started trying to find comfort and kind of joy
in just regular stuff that I could do at home.
So rewatching my favorite TV series,
rewatching my favorite movies, you know,
doing stuff at home, like writing or painting or whatever.
Anyways, this is one of my favorite movies.
And this is one of those movies, if I would catch it on TV,
I was locked in.
I was locked in.
I was like, I don't care.
I think I also have it on DVD.
But even with a DVD sit in there,
if I'm flipping through the channels,
and I see the crazy wolves on the ship,
I'm like, ooh, day after tomorrow.
And then I stayed to watch the rest of it.
Love this movie so much.
Did you go to theater and watch it?
I didn't go to the theater to watch it,
which surprises me.
This would be right at my alley,
but it was probably that I couldn't get any of my friends
to go, because eventually, I think it was like in 2007.
I had already watched this movie a few times by then.
I met my best friend, Gina, and we became besties.
And this became like our movie,
and we watched the crap out of this all the time.
And it was like one of our favorite things,
and I occasionally quote, Dr. Rapson,
who ends up getting the British doctor.
He's when Dennis Quaid says to him,
like, you need to get out of there.
He's like, I'm afraid the time for that is coming on.
And I say that all the time to my friends,
just like, I'm afraid the time for that is coming on.
And they all look at me like, what?
And I'm like, we're gonna watch the day after tomorrow.
But I haven't watched it in six years,
because I just haven't felt the need
for that particular comfort,
because there's something about really smart people
being really smart, and really stupid people being in power.
It feels right to watch it now.
And that's all I'll say about that.
I agree, because it's directed by Roland Emmerich.
I don't know if I'm pronounced that right.
Who makes fun movies?
He doesn't make Oscar movies.
He doesn't make overly intelligent movies.
He makes popcorn movies.
And I've been a fan of his without knowing it for a very long time.
I mean, I know, but back in the day, I didn't know it.
Like, I loved Universal Soldier with John Clark.
Like the two.
It was John Clark Van Da.
It was awesome.
I remember being awesome.
It might not be Stargate.
Love the Stargate with James Spader.
Yeah.
It was so awesome.
Independence Day.
Way better than I remember
when we review it.
Yeah.
Godzilla, not so much.
I thought I did, but rewatching it.
God bless.
Yeah, it was not as good as I remember.
But I think he has something to do with the new Stargate on Amazon, the new TV show.
I don't think Kurt Russell and James Spader is going to be on it, but I think he has
something to do with the new Stargate TV show.
Amazon is making a new Stargate, because they own now MGM.
So they are now going to make their, they want their,
they wanted their Game of Thrones and they made their Lord of the Rings and they failed
miserably.
It does not have great, great ratings.
I watched it.
I didn't think it was bad as a lot of people said it was, but it wasn't great.
I only watched the first season and then I'm like, I might watch the second.
I don't know.
But they want their expanse, because they had expanse and that was a huge hit.
They want their battle star Galactica.
They want their Star Wars and they have the rights to Stargate.
So they are going to make a new Stargate TV show and it's going to be, it has a monster
of a budget.
So yeah, that's exciting.
Well, I just saw recently, because I saw that I knew that they had Stargate SG1 and
then Atlantis and then they had the movies and whatever and I was like, cool, cool.
And then I saw that they had Stargate universe and I was like, Oh, man, that series was so
good.
And they cut it early.
They cut it early because people didn't get it.
And I'm like, God damn it, guys, this is a little bit darker.
Yeah.
Robert Carlyle was in that.
Yeah, so good.
Yeah.
Robert Carlyle was in it.
Justin Lewis, who now is Luis Justino, I don't know.
He changed his, Luis Ferrara.
I don't know.
He changed his name.
But anyways, like I, that was probably one of my favorite series.
Like right after Atlantis, that was my favorite Stargate.
And I was like, man, you guys don't get it.
So now that I'm hearing, they're making a new Stargate.
I'm so excited.
Yeah.
It's going to, apparently, it's going to be huge.
I hope it's good.
I really do.
Me too.
Me too.
Anyways.
But he also did the Patriot with the Mel Gibson, which I loved 10,000 BC.
I thought it was cool.
Wasn't, did 2012.
So he makes these big popcorn movies.
Yes.
And the cast, the cast is, there's a lot of cast in this movie.
There is.
I love Dennis Quaid.
I love Jake Jones Hall.
But there are so many people in this movie, like bases, bases that you, the scientists
up in Scotland, the everybody for a home.
Yeah.
So yeah, I remember loving this movie.
I, I absolutely loved it.
What do we think the budget on a 2004 Roland Emmerich movie after Godzilla, although I,
would they have cut him back after Godzilla wasn't even 80 million?
I'm going to say like 120.
You're probably right.
125.
Yeah.
I lowballed it.
Yeah.
Damn it.
125.
125.
And I know it did good at the box office.
Oh, yeah.
100%.
It did really, like I remember this being a big movie.
Yeah.
And I think when I finally thought I rented it and I was like, God, that was so great.
Well, they're not going to continue.
They make, they make giant disaster movies if the movie failed.
Oh, no, man.
They, they keep trying it a couple more times.
And then, and then they're like, okay, I think we can call it now.
It's done.
Okay.
Well, the day after tomorrow had a domestic total of 186.7 million dollars and 365 million
internationally for 552 billion in two thought that's pretty good.
That is pretty good.
I was very impressive.
Released on May 28th, oh, it was a second on the Memorial Day weekend behind Shrek
2.
Oh, see.
No.
Shrek 2, and it was in its second week.
Shrek 2 was still number one, but it opened up at 85.85.8 million dollars.
That's not.
Yeah.
Your movie makes 85 million and it's in second.
I mean, there are worse things because you have to also remember, especially for Shrek
like adults were watching that just as much as the kids were.
And kids probably the going back and how many times they would go back to watch that movie.
Obviously, in the second week and word of mouth.
I remember Shrek 2.
I remember loving Shrek 2.
I remember loving it too.
My dude's been so long since I've seen it.
Number three was Troy.
I love that movie with Brad Pitt.
That was a great movie.
In its third week, also released that week was Raisin Helen.
I don't know.
Oh, I have.
I have seen that.
I have seen it.
It is a pretty standard chick flick.
Oh, God was Kate Hudson ends up in not inheriting because they're not property.
But she ends up becoming the guardian of her nieces and nephew, I think.
And it becomes like a whole thing.
Soul plane.
Oh, well.
Oh, well, that's a classic Van Helsing, which we reviewed.
Yes.
Mean Girls.
That was a good movie.
That was a, I did enjoy that.
Yeah.
I was, I did not go to the movie theaters, but I remember watching it and being surprised
that it was actually that funny.
And man on fire, I love man on fire with Denzel Washington.
It's been so long since I've seen that.
Yeah.
Me too.
13 going on.
30.
And supersize me was number 10.
I remember watching that too.
That was pretty interesting.
The guy who made the whole day McDonald's every day for a month and then still lost weight.
Still lost weight, but became sickly.
Yes.
He was, he was what they call skinny fat.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
So number two, it stayed in number two for it's dropped to number three, then six, then eight,
then 11 to both.
But it had staying power.
Like it, it lasted quite a while.
Yeah.
And then you're looking at the summertime and Harry, the, the following week Harry Potter came
out, the new Harry Potter prison of Ask a band.
So yeah.
It's just from there, it just went downhill, but going downhill to half a billion dollars
isn't bad at all.
So it's never number one, but it made a shit load of money.
It really did.
God bless.
Okay.
Let's look at the movie poster.
I remember the movie poster, I believe it's just, yes, it's just the, the statue of Liberty
holding the torch and New York is covered in snow.
I like the poster, it's, it's, it's cool.
I don't know if I'd hang it on the wall, maybe, maybe, yeah, maybe one of those smaller tin
ones I would.
Yeah.
This is a filler poster, you know what I mean?
It's not a, it's, it's not, you know, let's, do I put that up or do I put hot dog for
movie up?
Put hot dog the movie up and then pretend hot dog was actually, it was actually good movie
and then make people watch it.
Yeah, because the poster was better than the movie.
Oh, 100%.
100%.
All right.
All right.
Here are the taglines for 2000 for the day after tomorrow.
This year, a sweater won't do.
I mean, valid, but now it's fiction, tomorrow is real, tomorrow it's real, sorry.
The end of the world was just beginning.
That's a good one.
2000 years ago, one storm changed a phase of our planet.
On May 28th, it will happen again.
That's a great blurb.
It is not a tagline.
Whoever said tomorrow is another day didn't check the weather.
I don't, I don't think that's a tagline, but also a great blurb.
Nature has spoken.
Yes.
Fantastic.
You actually, at the end of the world was just the beginning, nature has spoken, great
taglines.
And the other two, 10,000 years ago, blurbs, good blurbs, good blurbs.
Great blurbs.
Yep.
All right.
Okay, so I'm going to say, I'm going to say it wasn't the critics didn't overly love
it, but probably liked it for its special effects and stuff.
So they weren't too harsh on it.
I'm looking at like a 60%.
That's what I'm guessing.
I think actually I'm probably going to give it somewhere in the 70s.
In the 70s?
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, 65, I would say.
You say 70s.
The day after tomorrow, Rotten Tomatoes.
Oh, I was wrong.
What did they give it?
45.
Holy shit.
220 reviews comes in at 45%.
Yeah.
A little more concerning, 250,000 user ratings comes in at 50, so people were split half
and half.
Half the people liked it.
Half did not really.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, I thought it was very entertaining and special.
What do you people want?
Do you want to think every movie you go to?
All right.
This was my pick, so I'm going to look for a good review here.
Okay.
Let's see.
Okay.
Matthew Rosa from salon.com says, the day after tomorrow is the movie that changed my life.
Like a lawyer that tries to live up to the ideals of alley woods, I am a climate change
journalist today because of the day after tomorrow.
That's a shh.
I picked a shitty review.
Go ahead.
Fine.
Noah Velatsky says, it's vision of climate disaster apocalypse feels at once over dramatic
and overly optimistic.
Debbie Lynn, Elice from behind the lens says, the day after tomorrow is all about the
high energy rapid fire spectacular spectacular effects, spectacular disasters, spectacular
year splitting bombastic sound to rival military shock and all in short, simply spectacular.
A lot of spectacular, Debbie Lynn.
Maddie Lucas from the dispatch in Lexington, North Carolina says tries to rub, rub, excuse
me.
Let me try that again.
Tries to rise above its genre, but never ascends above mediocrity, 2.5 out of four.
Kevin Carr, back guys at the movies, gives it three out of five and says, if you want to see
Mother Nature kicks a mass, this is your bag.
Oh, there you go.
Dorothy Woodens from the Thai is from British Columbia says, when the big money shot in the
movie leaves you strangely unmoved, you know you have a problem.
Billions die, but the titular American heroes remain unvanquished.
So she's mad the Americans lived.
Christopher Smith from Banger Daily News says, high strong melodramatic hogwash steeped
in a measure of scientific fact, America takes it as seriously as he can and his movie
as a result delivers more provocative fun than you might expect gives it a B.
Tim Brayton from Intagony and X to C. Trite really isn't doing justice to the degree to
which the film has not a single thought character or line of dialogue that hadn't been run
into the ground by the beginning of the 80s, 5 out of 10.
Let's see, there's a lot here.
Nope.
Sorry, there's just a lot here that's.
Yeah, no worries.
Megan Leham of the New York Post says the jaw dropping special effects in the in the
weather gone wild doomsday film the day after tomorrow sweep all else away, including quibbles
about bland characterizations and dead in the water dialogue gives it 2.5 out of four.
Guns Alps from Rob's movie vault don't even get me started on the hilarity of the scene
where a bunch of people outrun a blast of freezing air and close the doors on it.
He gave it a D.
I don't think it's meant to be scientifically correct.
I'm like my dude, my dude, come on, don't be like that.
I'm going to see if Roger Ebert gave it a good grade because it might be no.
I got a lot of people reviewed this fucking movie.
Yeah.
And I closed it by accident and you're fired.
Sebastian Savannah.
This will be my last one Sebastian Savannah con this this the perfect movie for fans of
this type of cinema and for those at home looking for a fast, furious and both fatelistic
and hopefully hopeful experience he gives it 3.5 out of 5.
And this is my last one Peter Rainer from New York magazine Flash Vulture.
Many of the cliches in this movie predate the last ice age.
What do y'all want Shakespeare all the time?
Apparently, I am the B only should get 5 and 9,000 user ratings comes in at 6.5.
That's not great, but that's not bad for that.
Yeah, user ratings Jesus Christ.
All right.
I'll look for 10.
Oh, there's a lot of them too.
Okay.
This is the best movie ever.
Some of these I just would be embarrassed reading one of the best disaster popcorn flicks
ever.
Rishabee JP 10 out of 10.
That's fair.
The best apocalyptic weather movie, eyes mock 9 out of 10.
Why the hell did this just get a 6 points?
No, I won't think that someone did put that all the weather outside is frightful from
Baron B blood 8 out of 10.
Add movie that I inexplicably love to watch Adam Dustin 6 7 out of 10.
Yeah, I don't remember this movie being like a brilliant oh this change no, I remember
it just being spun.
I remember occasionally being like, oh, that's a nice shot.
Yeah.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
This is probably another movie also I'll say that I probably wouldn't last very long
in.
Oh, no, you'd die.
Yeah, I've gone real quick.
What am I at 6 due to do?
Say after tomorrow, a terribly cliched story picked up a bit by top notch effects.
CW Dylan 6 out of 10.
Obviously, 125 million they put pounds affords effects, not a good story, Ashley O 699 5 out
of 10.
Was not worth the admission price.
4 out of 10.
Completely predictable, sadly locking and fatally flawed Darren 142 3 out of 10.
Great effects, but big flaws insulted my intelligence.
Walk the brook 2 out of 10.
Oh, geez.
The day before yesterday, I thought I wanted to see this to lapsey fan one out of 10.
Oh, my God.
Why did they burn books in a building full of wooden furniture, Ryan hates pants, one
out of 10.
Thank you.
That was it.
Again, it's not Shakespeare people.
I know.
Maybe the wood was too frozen.
No.
No.
It's dry wood.
It's like a wooden chair, you break apart the chair and you put it in there, it burns
longer than books.
Yeah.
But whatevs?
Okay, let's take a look here.
All right, so let's watch the trailer.
The official trailer.
Oh, I guess we should both watch it.
Again.
That'd be good.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
All right.
What is causing this weather, why did you hate to find it, Ryan?
We prepared to go live to Los Angeles, isn't it?
What you see is happening now.
Look over there behind me.
That's a tornado.
That's a twister.
That is just massive.
It's virtually in the act.
Cecil.
A wall of water coming towards New York City.
Everybody.
That's how it is.
Save as many as you can.
That was a good trailer on the director of Independence Day.
I know they throw Godzilla up there.
We don't talk about that.
Yeah.
Yeah, the trailer.
No, it looks good.
The effects still look pretty good.
I have it on DVD.
They don't have it for set.
They haven't released a 4K of it.
They do have it on 4K and UHD on Apple and Amazon and stuff.
I'm going to put it on sale because I would like to watch this the best way possible.
That's how confident I am.
I burn myself so much this year already.
I think this is a solid bet though.
I do.
Yeah.
I'm not looking for anything but fun.
This is a popcorn movie.
100%.
As long as everything still pulls up and I think people to put too much on like science
and entertainment.
Yeah.
Well, no, because now everybody's like we want gritty.
We want accurate.
And I'm like, no, man.
I want people to save the world just by being like a climatologist.
Give me that.
Give me that.
I forgot all about the wolves too and the boat to imagine.
Oh, see.
I love it.
But I was funny because when I saw the scene in the trailer with the capital records,
I was like, oh, shit.
Yeah.
I remember that.
Yeah.
Rips through takes out half the building, including a couple who is most quite us just
like, bye.
You're like, well, shit.
But yeah.
But I love these type of movies.
I love 2012.
I even like Moomfall and that's a horrible fucking movie.
What's that one with Gerard Butler?
Geostorm.
Another horrible movie.
Oh, my God.
It's terrible.
It's terrible.
But it's great.
It's so fun.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
It's so fun.
Even like the Poseidon adventure and the remake of the Poseidon adventure earthquakes and snow
avalanches.
Yeah.
They're awesome.
They're fun.
They're just fun movies.
I think I'm going to like this.
It's man versus nature.
Yeah.
And sometimes nature's got to kick your ass before man's like, okay, I'm sorry.
Yeah.
I think it's all this movie of nature wins.
Oh, 100%.
Nature wins.
The man limps out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I guess I'll adapt now.
I guess I'll adapt now.
We can figure it out like once the world defrosts.
It's fine.
I liked it because it's funny even back then as like because and then everyone had to cross
the Mexican border.
Yeah.
And Mexican was like, whoa, whoa, we don't want you people.
Wait a second.
The border's down before let's talk about this.
Because you know, we can't just let anybody into our country.
I was like, that's poetic.
All right.
Well, we are going to go watch 2004's the day after tomorrow.
And when we get back, we are going to review it.
You heard them movie time.
Let's all go to the lobby and get ourselves a treat and then watch a classic kick ass movie
from whenever the one we're about to watch was made.
And welcome back.
Did you watch 2004, 2004's the day after tomorrow?
Yes, I did.
And what was your initial thoughts?
Still love this movie.
Still love it so much.
I cried a little bit.
I cried a little bit because it was fucking beautiful.
Fuck the vice president.
Fuck him.
Also, I thought it was really funny.
Because like when I looked at the cast list, I was like, oh, yeah, that's right.
But two of the people in this movie I saw in this week's episode of The Rookie.
The Rookie.
The Rookie.
It's the Nathan Philly and Joe.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
He's not a rookie anymore.
Yeah.
I was going to say he wouldn't be a rookie anymore.
He'd be a few years ago.
He's a few years in.
He's now a training officer himself, which I think is fine.
But it's actually a really entertaining show.
I think he usually makes.
Yeah, he usually makes pretty good picks on shows to be on.
Is it all my children that he was on?
Yeah.
I think that was the soap he was on.
No, one life to live.
My bad.
Anyways.
But yeah, see a award who plays Dennis Quaid's ex-wife, the doctor.
Yeah.
She played a character's mom this week on the show.
She looks like a soap opera or a drop in my show.
She is still a stunning woman.
Because when I realized it was her, I was like, oh.
Oh, my God.
What devil did you make a deal with?
Because you look amazing.
And then the guy who plays his friend was also on the rookie.
So like as soon as like within the first 15, 15, 20 minutes of the movie, I was like, oh.
Look at all these rookie actors currently acting.
She's 69 years old.
Oh, God damn, see a word.
Drop the skincare routine.
Anyways, I still love this movie.
It was still very entertaining.
And I love how they made the storm, the actual, an actual character.
Like they made him made it.
I didn't see it already.
I'm making him a man.
They made it ominous and villainous.
And it felt like a personal attack every time someone died in the storm.
I was like, the fuck man, let it go.
Although I will say this.
And I realized I do this every single time I watch this movie.
When they get to the frozen police officer, I always say, see, you should have listened every single time.
Yeah.
Should listen to the 16, 17 year old boy.
That's right.
That's right.
You should have listened to him.
Anyways.
I would have listened to him just because I would not want to make that walk.
I'm not walking miles and miles and miles in the middle of a winter storm.
I don't even want to walk to the streetcar stop in a snow storm.
You think I'm going to walk miles and a police?
Nah.
I'm staying where there's a fireplace.
Thank you.
I berate my youngest because I walk her to school in the morning in the snow.
Like you suck.
God damn it.
Couldn't you have been so smart that like you'd learn how to drive by now?
Yeah, no.
I still like this movie.
I thought it was entertaining.
The science and the reality.
Yeah.
It's not a, but that's not why I watched it.
The climate.
I'm pretty sure Greta Thunberg watches this movie like I watch porn.
I think Greta Thunberg's literally sitting there going, my time will come.
Yes.
This movie's going to come true and everyone will bow down to me.
Jack Hall and I can commiserate over how right we were.
And no one listened.
Don't get me wrong.
I don't think we're that far off from the next ice age.
Do I think it's going to happen in the next six to eight weeks?
No.
Because that's excessive.
Also, I feel like there might be when this movie came out.
Climate change was still very like hippie super left wing.
You don't even shower every day.
Why do you think like it wasn't it was just becoming a legitimate.
Like we were still calling it global warming at that point.
They promised global warming like every other decade.
And I have not one fucking palm tree in my yard.
And you're all full of shit.
I was talking to you.
I'm like, it's been really cold this year where I am and the snow.
My God.
And then the one person I was talking to, they're like, well, yeah, that's part of it.
I'm like, fuck off.
You can't just make.
Yeah, of course.
No, it is.
That's why they changed.
I think it's mother nature.
Because now they're calling instead of a global warming where the sea level is going to rise.
And he's going to take over.
Now they're saying, now we're wrong.
It's going to be cold.
And it's going to be a new ice age.
That's what we got to be worried about now.
I'm like, every fucking 10 years, you guys pick something so you can suck more tax dollars out of me.
Or alternate points.
Where's acid rain?
They get more information.
And then they add that to their previous information.
Oh, I can do that.
And I know, right?
It's called learning.
I know.
Crazy.
Crazy.
No, what was it in the 70s?
It was acid rain.
I can't remember what it was in the 80s.
There was a new worry.
Oh, in the 80s, it was the ozone layer.
That's right.
The ozone layer.
We got to stop using aerosol cans.
No, but the ozone layer is fixing itself.
Like they actually do studies about that.
And especially in Australia, they're like, no, the whole small.
It's getting better, guys.
It just took us like 30 years.
I don't think we had anything to do with it.
I think we did.
Do you know how hard it is to find aerosol bottles of anything?
No, I still use Pam.
Yeah, but they don't use the same chemicals.
Oh.
Yeah, no.
Now it's like an air pressure.
Well, I will admit, I am not the smartest person when it comes to actually anything.
That's shocked.
I could, I say lots of shit.
I am very well aware I could be wrong.
Well, this movie was fun.
Yeah.
It was fun.
Whether it was fun.
All I wanted to see was Mother Nature kick ass.
She bitch slapped the fuck out of everybody in this movie.
And I want it as long as people were dying.
And they died.
Oh, lots of people died.
It was so loud.
The billboard.
The guy taking the recorder out.
The guy taking the recorder out.
Fuck, yeah.
Fuck, yeah.
Oh, wait the out here in the billboard.
I love it.
And then, you know, it's hilarious.
For some reason in my head, what was his name?
Frank.
That's the guy.
Yeah, that dies in the mall.
The older guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have a bone to pick about the mall scene.
I'm so mad about the mall.
I'm still salty about it.
From the first time I ever watched this movie, to now, I'm salty about Frank dying.
But it's so funny because, like, in my head,
I remember hearing the sound of his body hitting the floor,
or the escalator, depending on you.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah.
And then it doesn't happen.
And I'm like, no.
Did I make that up?
What they call that?
The whatever effect.
Is it the butterfly effect?
The Mandela effect.
The Mandela effect.
It's one of the effects.
I always get those two confused.
But I'm like, well, fuck.
This, really.
I'm like, in my head, I remember hearing,
and this is why Jack's face really hits me.
But I was like, oh, you don't hear it?
And I was so confused for a hot second.
And I was like, make sense.
Because that would be cruel and unusual.
That would be mean.
But also, I enjoy Hale.
Big, big balls of Hale taking care of that.
Oh.
Horrible.
Oh.
Was the Korean or Japanese?
I feel.
I don't want to be in sense, culture, and sense of...
I think it might have been Japanese.
I wasn't really paying attention.
I was just like...
Or bastard.
Other side.
Yeah.
Take it out.
Take it out by Hale.
Yeah.
That was pretty big Hale.
Which is basically...
Not them though.
Like, fuck out.
Giant piece of ice.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's just a big giant falling from the sky.
Yeah.
I'm like, fuck, man.
That's harsh.
I'm probably more realistically pleased.
Head would probably have caved in where it hit.
Yeah.
No, 100%.
So, thanks for being gentle with us.
And...
Damn, did tomorrow...
Yeah, I know.
The big ship...
With the big wave hits New York and it's underwater and the ship rolling by.
Yeah, no, it's...
Yeah, no, it's still a fun movie.
And that's...
It's all I was expecting...
I wasn't expecting...
Oh, no.
I didn't want anything deep and meaningful.
No.
Like, they tried to do like the climate change and they tried to...
Oh, you got to be a better parent.
I'm like, fuck that.
If my kids think I'm trekking from Washington, D.C. to New York City to save them.
Wow.
Well...
It's funny because, like, you know logically,
they established that he's a bit of an absentee parent because of his work.
And then it's a big, I love my son,
because I'm going to abandon my work to go get him.
And then when he says, I made a promise, I'm going to keep it.
I'm like, bitch, you haven't done that for years.
Why start now?
Because you were so wrapped up in your work.
Like, he...
Like, you shouldn't have said you were...
But you were like, yeah, I'm going to go get you.
And everybody was like, oh, okay, sure, buddy.
Sure.
But he did.
Well, I come through when death is on the line now.
That just seems...
I know.
It feels like a step too far.
Maybe it's telling him if he makes it,
they'll go see a ballgame or something.
That's something that you can really deliver on.
I can buy tickets to a ballgame, but yeah,
but he's still going to forget it.
He's going to even show up on time to take him to the airport.
It reminds me of...
I saw this little thing on YouTube.
And it was about a woman who was in New York during the 9-11.
Yeah.
And the buildings came down.
She was a school kid and she was at school.
And her parents never came and got her.
And I can't remember why they said they didn't come.
They were at work.
They were afraid.
I'm not sure.
Yeah.
But they said they couldn't because something was holding them back
to come getting.
Years later, now, through conversation,
she finds out they didn't want to go get her,
whether it be laziness or fear.
And so she's like, all fucked up because she said it was funny.
It was kind of funny at first, but then she said,
I started thinking about like, they didn't come get me.
No, because it's true.
That'll fuck you up.
It's like the world, especially because right after 9-11,
because there was so much like the day of,
there was a lot of, oh shit,
what's happening?
What's coming next?
Like, this could be the beginning of World War III.
Like, we were all freaking out because we were like,
what does this mean?
So to have that thought,
and then you realize, my parents,
who brought me into this world,
made the conscious decision to not be with me that day.
Yeah.
It was on purpose, whatever it would.
I can't, I don't remember if it was fear.
It doesn't matter what it was.
She's like, kind of laughed about it,
but then I started thinking about it.
And they were kind of like,
oh, it's 25 years ago, or 20 years ago, whatever.
But I'd be like, I'd be pissed.
I'd be so pissed.
My kids would expect it.
But I would be honest with them.
I can't come get you.
I might die.
Yeah, you'd be like, look, it's too dangerous out there for me,
so I'm going to need you.
Why should both of us die?
To take care of yourselves.
So if you make it home,
if you make it home.
I'll still love you.
I'll still remember you.
We have videos.
They're pictures.
We're fine.
They're pictures.
It's fine.
I'm good.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Now you'll die without disappointing me even further.
Oh, Jesus.
No, I, and I will say this,
for the most part, I'd say 90% of the effects
are really still hold up very well,
like amazingly.
There are a couple that you're like,
the wolves were a little.
Oh, my God.
When they, no, they were bad.
They were bad.
Because when they first came out,
I was like, those look cartoon.
Yeah.
Like when they're running around the shop,
I'm like, this is,
and don't get me wrong, they shot it as well as they could
or they directed the wolf CGI as best as they could.
So you do get like extended looks at them.
Yeah.
And they moved fast through the frame.
So it wasn't too bad.
But even with those like few glimpses,
they're like, God, those are shitty.
Yeah.
And they were very cartoonish.
Like I'm like,
there's wily coyote with them.
But it's funny because all of the weather stuff,
oh, that stuff was great.
You know, it's CGI.
Yeah.
It looks CGI.
But it still looks good.
And it looks like it fits.
And it looks natural to the film.
So you're not that, you're like,
well, obviously they did that in CGI,
where the fuck are they going to find a tsunami
to record and Manhattan?
They're not.
So you know it.
But it still feels very real.
The wolves did not.
Yeah.
And I was wondering,
I did go looking for an explanation
because I was wondering why CGI
from like the early 2000s,
2010, look still holds up when done right.
Really well.
And I've seen movies today
where the CGI looks just shitty.
And a lot of people,
it's because when you do the CGI
on 32 millimeter film,
it looks really good.
Yeah.
And when you do CGI on digital,
the digital kind of just enhances the CGI look.
Yeah.
That's probably why a lot of these movies still hold up.
That is a big thing.
But also,
I'm going to throw this out there
as a production.
A lot of times they don't schedule enough time
or enough resources to post and CGI now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because everybody's like,
oh, we can get it done in a week.
And you're like,
in 2004,
this would have been another three to six months of work.
Yeah.
With like multiple teams working on multiple elements.
Whereas now,
they expect three guys in a dark room
to do everything in three weeks.
Yeah.
And you're like, you can't.
So you're going to,
you're going to get a lot more kind of effects short-changed
because of that.
And producers who were like,
that's good enough.
Yeah.
And that's where you kind of hit it.
Yeah.
The audience is stupid.
That's fine.
They're like, it's close enough.
Like it works.
What do they want?
It works.
It's good enough.
It works.
Yeah.
Even Marvel was suffering from this.
Yeah.
It's just too quick of everybody.
And it's, yeah,
it's too bad because
back in the day,
yeah,
it still looks really good.
Back in the day,
you had the time,
because it was still relatively new.
Yeah.
You didn't want to look shit.
Yeah.
It was growing by leaps and bounds at that point.
But they were willing to put in the money
and the time to make sure it came out looking good.
Now,
because any Tom Dick and Harry can learn how to do special effects.
Not great,
but they can learn how to do special effects.
Now it's been almost devalued a little bit.
Because they're like,
well, if you've got a laptop,
you're getting,
I don't know.
More goes into it than that.
But a lot of producers,
production companies,
they don't necessarily register that.
Oh,
when you hear someone in a movie,
they're going,
oh, we did mostly practical effects.
I'm like,
yes, sign me up.
Yes.
Yes.
That's awesome.
Because people are not putting the time
and the money into practical effects anymore.
Because they're like,
ah, we can do it in post.
We can do it in post.
And you're like,
not everything has to be done in post,
bitch.
Anyways.
All right.
Let's go over this.
There's not a lot of plot here, people.
That's correct.
Basically, we fucked up the earth
and Mother Nature is going to correct itself
by wiping half of the planet off out.
Pretty much.
And that's it.
I mean, I'm then the kid
and the father going to save his kid
and there's that.
Yeah, but even though
it's part of like Mother Nature
correcting itself.
Yeah.
Do we need this many people?
I don't think so.
Well, we are over-populated, apparently.
Exactly.
Yeah.
What about the low kid in the hospital?
Would you stay?
Okay.
You know what?
Here's my one question,
because I was waiting.
I think you know the answer.
Yes.
You'd be in that truck
with the power.
All right, Peter.
Peace out, Peter.
I know that would be your answer.
I'd leave him a drinking box
and some animal crackers.
For shame.
All right, Peter.
Here's your book.
I'm just going to go grab something.
I'll be right back.
Here.
Sometimes I wonder about you.
No, because when she was like,
no, he has to be transported
in a hospital.
And then when the ant,
or transported in an ambulance,
it's like that has to be tried.
And then you come back,
and he's in a dark room
that has no power at the hospital.
Yeah, so why do you-
With one doctor,
and I was like,
what do you need the ambulance for?
You don't have power to run anything.
What are you doing in the dark
without power, without-
Throw him in the flatbed
and get on out of there.
I was like,
why couldn't he be transported?
And I understand,
like, they needed a reason
for her to stay behind.
Yeah.
They needed a reason for her
to, you know, be almost dead.
Like, there was a very good chance
she wasn't going to make it.
And it was like a whole-
but then she heroically makes it.
And like, I get it.
She was shocked.
Yes.
As was I,
that someone came back.
Or her.
You would be shocked.
Yeah.
You would be shocked.
You'd be the one at the firehouse
when they're like,
I'm going to go back
and get the doctor and the kid.
You'd be like, why?
Yeah.
It's cold out there.
I just-
I just been looking around,
trying to not be noticed.
Do we have any volunteers?
Mm-hmm-hmm.
You're like,
oh, I really got a poop.
Ah, excuse me.
Yeah.
Someone calling my name.
Oh, my phone.
My phone is ringing,
even though no cell phones are working.
My phone.
I got to get this.
Yeah.
And of course they were all-
they weren't smartphones.
They were your-
Your flip phones.
And your Nokia phones and stuff.
Those are great.
Yeah.
You didn't even really notice the lack of technology
because it had a bit of technology there,
but it didn't-
It had a little bit.
There were things like
you noticed the giant monitor.
The computer,
monitor and stuff.
Yeah.
You noticed that stuff for like a hot seconds.
Yeah.
But other than that,
it wasn't too bad.
The satellite photos,
I mean,
those look pretty much the same now.
So it's not like
you're missing out on all of that
and then-
Like the guys in Scotland
who needed his help to-
They're-
They're computer-
Yeah.
The Commodore 64 can compute the fucking data
so they needed the Americans to-
I mean,
let's be real.
They were probably HPs at this point.
Yeah.
But yeah, no.
It's-
Also, there are remote weather station.
They're like,
we need a supercomputer to run these.
I did feel sorry for those fuckers.
You didn't?
No.
No, I did.
Oh, yeah.
No, no, no.
I'm like-
I'm like-
I'm like,
are you fucking kidding?
Like why-
This was my main thing.
I was like,
okay, yes, they have a generator.
Why do you not have a wood stove?
Yeah.
You're in Scotland.
Yeah.
You should have a wood burning stove.
God dammit.
Yeah.
Almost every place has like a brick fire,
like a rock-
Yeah.
Or literally a fireplace
that's been turned into a wood stove
so they break it up
and then you just have where the vent goes,
like where the pipe goes.
And I'm like,
everybody has that.
It's so hard to find-
especially older buildings.
I'm like,
why wouldn't they put that in there?
So I felt bad for them.
Because I was like,
man, you guys are staying till the very end,
making sure that all the information you can possibly get
is getting to the Americans
and they're super considerate.
Well, I think they got caught in-
like they got stuck.
I don't think-
I think-
Look at the faces of the two guys.
The old guy might have stayed-
I have the other two.
I think if the given the chance,
they would have hopped in a truck
or a smoke a bill or something.
Well, they were all very dedicated to the weather.
No, but there was the-
okay, let's get all this information out.
Let's run this information.
And then it's so funny because Jack says,
it's time for you to go.
And he's like,
the time for that is coming on.
Like-
Yeah.
We're past that.
Because it's already gotten too cold.
The roads are already closed.
We don't have four-wheel drive
on every car over here.
Because we don't need it.
Jack survived in a Burger King or a Wendy's-
I think it was a-
I always think it's Burger King,
but then we saw the Wendy sign,
and I was like,
was it a Wendy's?
I wonder if they passed the Wendy's
and then went-
I can't remember.
Maybe.
Yeah, you just lit a grease fire and survived.
Pretty much, yeah.
That's all you need.
You just need enough heat to like-
oh, so you can't outrun a frost.
No.
That was stupid.
But-
Well, it's got started somewhere.
It doesn't fall like a curtain.
And cover everything.
I get what they were doing.
Yes, it was stupid.
It looked really cool, though.
It did.
It looked amazingly cool.
I'm not mad about it.
I'm just saying it's not accurate.
We all know that, and that's okay.
I believe it would move like that.
Not quite as slow.
I believe it would-
It's like this-
Almost the speed of light.
Not maybe the speed of light, but-
Yeah, it wouldn't fall.
I don't think it-
It doesn't crawl-
Yeah, the weather doesn't crawl.
It didn't crawl.
Yeah, along the wall.
Turning everything-
Yeah, turning all-
Yeah.
I was like, mm-
Guys, mind you, I have no idea how it actually works.
So-
No, but I know it doesn't work like that.
I mean, do you?
Do you know?
No.
It could.
I'll try to-
It's not-
It's time I get cold snaps coming.
I'm going to try to fucking outrun it.
As you should.
Yeah.
As you should.
Not fall back and say I failed.
Report back, yes.
We need to know.
I didn't do it.
It beat me.
Hahaha.
Loss of toe.
It's fine.
Yeah.
Jack Hall.
Oh, paleoclimatologist.
You get that right?
Yes.
You get that right?
Yes.
Yes.
Along with this colleague, Frank and Jason drill for ice core samples in the Larson ice shelf for
the NOAA moments before the ice shelf splits away.
Yeah.
Fuck that.
That looked really peaceful.
Like up until that.
I don't mind at all.
The footage was amazing.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
The whole shift in the breaking.
That was pretty cool.
No, but even the aerial shots of them establishing where they are, like seeing the cliffs of the glacier.
Oh, yeah.
And that's when I was standing.
Is that CGI or did they-
No, I think that's real.
Is that real?
I think that's real.
Hmm.
It's gorgeous.
It did look really nice.
Yeah.
At the United Nations conference.
Oh, yeah.
So they're drilling away in the whole thing.
They're getting nice things.
Yeah, I got to jump across the thing to grab the samples and then jump cross back.
And then he almost falls to his death and blah, blah, blah.
And they pick him up and all like, ooh, that was close.
Fuck and jump in a cross of chasm for ice samples, please.
At the United Nations conference in New Delhi.
Jack discusses his research showing that climate change could cause an impending ice age.
But United States Vice President Raymond Becker dismisses his findings calling them sensationalist claims.
Professor.
Professor Terry Rapsen and Oceographer of the Headlin Center in Scotland.
Believe Jack is and believes Jack and be friends him overviews of the inevitable climate shift.
Yeah.
So we basically get some science stuff here.
Him explaining that it's going to happen within the next hundred years or so.
He says he's like, if it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years.
Yeah.
No, but it's going to happen.
Who which my response would be then?
Who cares?
I won't be here.
Yeah, fuck the future generations, right?
That sounds like a them problem.
Such a deal.
Tokyo was struck by a giant hail storm.
This was great.
A very small shot.
Yeah.
But it made it feel more global.
It was a short scene, but it did really establish it.
And I love that they have the dickhead like businessman getting yelled at by his wife.
Yeah, hundred percent getting yelled at by his wife.
And he gets taken out by a piece of hell.
Oh, big piece of hell.
And then the poor guy that smartly instead of grabbing umbrella uses a briefcase.
Yeah, gets under that little ledge.
But it's not like I got to go with that old man and the kid are underneath the truck.
He almost makes it too.
He does.
But he gets taken out.
Do you Tokyo struck by the hell storm?
And astronauts from the International Space Station spot three gigantic super storms above Canada, Europe and Siberia.
That was, it all looked good.
It looked really good.
Because they're telling them that the weather's bad.
They might be up there another week.
Yeah.
And they're like, yeah, no, we've noticed these look how big the storm is.
They're like, fuck, that's weird.
And it's nice.
It's nice to have.
Because scientists, guys, because to be an astronaut, you got to know the science.
Um, right.
You don't want someone like me up there.
That's fucking for sure.
That could be a problem.
Especially if we make contact.
I can.
Oh, no.
No, none of that.
We were doing well.
And then Jimmy opened his mouth and offended them.
God.
Now I guess.
Which is weird because they didn't even speak our language.
I don't know how he offended them, but he did.
It might have been the mooning.
But yeah, no.
So they're like, well, this is fucking weird.
Look at this.
This is odd.
And they're like, I've never seen anything like this before.
And it establishes that this is not normal.
That this is unknown.
This is the unknown.
We're now into unknown territory.
Rapsons team in Scotland begins noticing severe temperature drops from multiple boys
in the North Atlantic, realizing Jack's varies were correct with the climate shift
happening too quickly.
And remnants of a hurricane spawned a destructive tornado outbreak over L.A.
That was great too.
That was fantastic.
L.A. being just fucking humbled with tornado.
People just standing there recording it.
I like it too.
The guy, the girl that we're doing it after hours or whatever.
Yes.
And then the poor, the janitor guy and he opens the door where they were and the whole
happened.
I love that part.
That's like my favorite because it's the ultimate like, well, shit.
Because he literally, they're doing it or about to do it.
And she's like, shouldn't you be watching the weather?
And he's like, it's fine.
What's that noise?
And so he goes and then he realizes he's like, fuck, we got an issue toward
NATO warnings in L.A.
What calls his boss?
His boss gets out of bed.
His boss gets in his car.
And then he's like, well, shit.
So then the guy runs back to the girl and they're watching the tornadoes happen.
And then all of a sudden there, that part of the building is not there anymore.
And you just see that poor janitor with his little headset and took off his little headphones.
And he was like, what?
And I actually said out loud.
I'm like, we're lucky it was not today because the fucking morons today would be out there.
With their phones just getting a picture.
And then all of a sudden you just see people like little HD camcorder.
And he's like, you got to get out of here.
Don't film it.
Fuck off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I was like, maybe they're tourists.
Yeah, maybe they were tourists.
Because I mean, a lot of times tourists will stay even if it's dangerous.
Because they're like, this is normal.
Is this normal?
Is this supposed to happen?
Am I safe?
I feel like fire.
Bad.
Run.
Oh, and the report again hit by the fucking bill.
That was amazing.
Awesome.
Oh, my God.
It was so fantastic.
Because they follow the billboard.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
The cameraman followed the billboard.
Followed the billboard.
And I was like, oh.
Good for him.
Always on, always working.
Of course.
You got to be on point, man.
You got to be on point.
Three helicopters sent to rescue the British royal family.
Fucking royal family.
Always supposed where they're not supposed to be.
Yeah.
From Belmore Castle, crash in Scotland after they flew into a super storm's eye.
This was cool.
This is again.
Yes.
And they're like, because they're talking to the science guy and they're like, well, what's the
temperature there?
And they're like, what temperature does fuel freeze?
And they're like, yeah, we had to look it up.
It's like minus 150 degrees Celsius.
That's fine.
And then you're going, that's why when the guy, the helicopter crash, he opened the door to try to get out.
And he just froze.
Oh, that makes sense.
Minus 150.
What's that Fahrenheit?
I have no idea.
And we don't need to know because anything that cold, we don't need actual numbers.
It's just death.
How cold is it outside death?
I remember going, my wife wanted something of the car.
This was a week or so ago.
And it was minus 28 felt like minus 34.
And I opened up the door.
And it was just when you breathe in.
And you just feel like it burns.
It burns inside of your lungs.
No.
I'm not going out to get your fucking whatever.
You're like, nope.
It's gone now.
I hope she wasn't a child.
I'm pretty sure she would have flagged it if it was.
My down a child.
I don't think so.
The child's lost to us.
We have pictures.
Do you have too much cereal in the house?
My kids don't like cereal.
They're really weird, which is from a health standpoint.
Yes.
That's great.
Because cereal is not great for you.
I mean, it's so good.
The cereals I like.
I like almost all cereals.
I like the sweet ones.
I like the ones that are good for you.
Like rice, crispies and cereals.
I love rice, crispy.
My two favorite cereals are life cereal and lucky charms.
I love lucky charms.
I love fruit loops.
I love fruity pebbles.
I love tricks.
I like it all.
But my kids, no.
They have it once in a while, like on a weekend, maybe.
Which is good.
It's just weird.
Yeah.
Now I'm not a big cereal eater.
Growing up.
It was a breakfast you could get yourself really quickly.
My mom would never buy the sugary kind, either.
She would buy the more healthy kind and tell you to put sugar on it.
That's smart.
Jesus Christ.
For us, it was frosted flakes because that was my brother's favorite cereal.
I do.
You got to eat it quick though.
You got to eat it quick.
But it's so good.
Like when you get that fresh cold milk on it and you're eating the fruit and you're like,
yes, you eat it quick.
And then you put the second row of cereal into that milk.
Yeah.
It's so good.
I don't know why I'm diabetes.
I hardly ever eat cereal now.
Like nine percent of my dog.
Her parents are speeding us frosted flakes and pop tarts for breakfast.
Oh, we never had pop tarts.
No, I never had.
I was literally a teenager and I bought my own box of pop tarts.
The first time I ever tried them.
Yeah.
Because I was like, I kept hearing about these.
No, I think I was at a friend's house.
No, I had to buy my own.
Because I was like, let's do this.
And then I did.
And I was like, these aren't that good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, they weren't healthy.
So we didn't get my parents sucked.
Jack and Rapson's team, along with NASA meteorologist Janet Takata, built a forecast model based on Jack's research, discovering the impact of climate change would happen in 68 weeks.
They were wrong again.
They've been, they get, they're wrong through this entire movie.
Yes, but as they get more information, they reevaluate.
And then they're like, yeah, shit.
Yes, it's worse than it was before.
But yeah, now it's going to be seven days.
Now we know more.
Rapson notifies Jack that siphoned air from the upper troposphere flash freezes anything caught in the eye of the cyclones with temperatures below 150 degrees.
Oh, 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
That's 101 degrees minus 100 degrees Celsius, which caused a helicopter crash by freezing the fuel on board.
God damn that would be fucking cold.
That's why I think when the sun was running from the wolves and just climbing all around the thing.
He didn't have gloves on.
I'm like, dude, your fucking fingers would stick to that metal.
This whole thing, which would have been really cool.
Ew.
As he's dangling, the wolves are just eating them.
Yeah, okay.
That's a different movie.
Yeah, it's a different movie.
Sorry, sorry people.
Got off.
Okay, back to freezings.
Yeah.
In New York City, Jack's on Sam, along with his friend Brian and Laura participate in an academic to cap along.
I'm watching this.
I'm going.
Who the fuck is that chick?
I'm like watching it, watching it, watching it.
I'm like, Jesus Christ, she looks so familiar.
So finally, and I just watched.
No, I didn't just watch it a while ago.
Shameless.
That's the girl, the daughter from Shameless.
Yeah, Emmy Rossum.
What was it?
I'm so used to her being such a white truck.
You're used to her being a little rough around the edges.
A little rough around the edges.
And here she's all crammed.
A little rough around the edges.
And here she's all crammed.
Yeah.
So it threw me off again.
She's great.
I do like her.
I do.
I really like her.
I like her as an actress.
And I kind of, from what I've seen a little bit of like interviews and shit, I think I like her as a person.
But she's actually one of those actresses that keeps a lot of her personal life on lockdown.
That you should.
And I'm like more, more power to you.
I respect that.
And it's not even that they shut up.
But I'm one of those people that I'm like, look, I understand the right to privacy and all of that shit.
Oh, I get that.
Nobody's arguing that.
But for me, I'm like, if you want to keep your personal life on lockdown, by all means, do so.
But do it all the time.
I should know nothing about you.
Yeah, don't sprinkle some here.
Sprinkle some here.
Yeah, don't be super selective.
But then there are others who literally, it's like reading their fucking diaries every day.
They just share everything about themselves.
But then they get really pissed off when they share a little tidbit about something.
People start asking questions.
And then they're like, I want to keep that private.
And you're like, you've already set a standard where you're sharing every, like I know about your menstrual cycle.
Could tell me about your breakup.
Like I don't understand.
But Emmy Rossum is one of those.
She literally is just like my personal life and my personal life.
Thanks.
But let's talk about my acting work.
And I'm like, I respect that.
Also, she has naturally curly hair.
But you don't get to see very often.
You get to see quite a bit, I think, in the shameless.
In shameless, yeah.
She's, yeah, like she's a mess.
But even like she's also mentioned that where I've seen a lot of clips of shame.
I haven't watched the series straight through.
But that's because I promised myself I would watch the British one first, because it came out first.
And then I would watch the American one.
And really, who has fucking time with that?
Like, there's a lot.
I really need to be retired and rich.
Anyways, go on.
Well, a new show comes out every fucking day.
Every week.
There's a new show.
I can't, I can't keep up.
People of the health.
How are you afford to pay these people to do all this stuff?
Haha.
Oh.
Anyways.
But yeah, no.
They find a new, yeah.
They find a new friend JD.
The North American superstar creates strong winds and rain that flood man had with need deep water.
All transportation halts.
Standing the city, straining the city's population.
While helping to rescue two French breake and tourists in distress from a cab with a police officer.
I can't believe this police officer couldn't fucking figure this out.
But whatever.
Yeah.
Or a cutter leg helping them.
A massive storm surge.
Inudates the city forcing Sam's group to seek shelter at the New York Public Library.
First they go to JD's house.
They kind of were all standoffish because it looked like he had a crush on her.
But then he's like, you know what?
You guys can stay with me.
That was nice.
And then we're going to take the train.
And then they're getting outside and the fucking water is just rising.
And they're like, they decide to go to the public library.
Sam contacts Jack and his mother Lucy, a pediatrician, through a working pay phone.
Yeah.
No one else thought of this.
Well, that's because most people don't realize all phone.
As soon as cell phones.
Yeah.
But as soon as cell phones came out, people got dumb.
Do you know how many people during the big blackout?
I think it was in 2004.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Everybody was so surprised their cordless phones didn't work.
Yeah.
I remember that.
Look, are you people of Jesus?
I will fully admit because I was in there going, why doesn't the phone work?
Like I just assumed someone in my house had gotten one of the old school phones that we
might have still had and plugged it in.
Yeah.
So I was like, why?
And then I was like, oh, right.
Because all the phones we have are cordless.
That explains it.
Yeah.
But there was still.
So I.
Trudged along Queen Street going to every convenience store that had power.
Because most of the city didn't have power for two or three days.
And I'm like, do you have a.
And they kept showing me cordless phones.
And I was like, no, I need a phone that's all cables and plugins.
They were like, really?
You want.
I was like, I don't want to move with the phone.
Just find me.
I found one.
So finally, we could call people and people could call us.
But it was hilarious because the amount of people who were like, why aren't the phones working?
Yeah.
Found them dead.
Yes.
Dead through stupidity.
Through a working payphone, Jack Warren Sam of impending the impending super storm urges him to stay inside and warm, promising to rescue him.
Now they're weird to me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Raps in and his team succumbed to the European storm.
Lucy, that's the guys in Scotland.
Lucy remains in her hospital carrying for a bed ridden patients.
It's just one patient.
One.
One.
And a terminally ill one.
We don't know that he's like terminally terminally ill.
He looked terminally ill.
He looked very ill.
He looked.
He was already done for.
He was, we don't know that.
Sorry, Peter.
I mean, come on.
You're going to die anyway.
It's like the hell.
You want me to die with you?
That's just selfish, Peter.
You're selfish.
That's I putting my coat on in boots.
Oh, Jesus.
Oh, Jack's suggestion.
President Blake orders the population of the southern states to be evacuated into Mexico.
That was funny.
The whole.
The American trying to get into Mexico.
That was fantastic.
But it's what's extra great is that the like Jack talks to the government and he's like,
look, you need to evacuate everyone from beneath this line and he draws a line on the map.
Yeah.
And everybody's like, what about everybody north of there?
Don't bother.
It's too late.
It's too late for them.
It's too late.
And then the vice president is still being a dick and he's, we should go up and like the
military people and I guess the secretary of state are like, maybe we should listen to him.
We're not going to sacrifice more people just to try and save people that are probably going
to die anyways.
And then the Jack's boss walks in and he's his son is in Manhattan.
And then everybody gets really quiet.
And then all of a sudden everybody like really believes what Jack said.
Yeah.
Also, the president kind of looks stupid because he's like, what do you think?
Yeah.
Make a decision.
Make a decision.
Make a decision.
You tell them.
Yeah.
That doesn't really instill leadership.
I'm not feeling secure.
What do you guys think you should do?
I'm not feeling super secure about the administration in this movie.
I'm just saying.
Let's flip a coin.
Jack suggests in President Blake order the population of the southern states to be evacuated
into Mexico.
In contrast, the government warns those in the northern areas to seek shelter and stay warm.
Jack, Jason and Frank make their way to New York City.
While trekking across Pennsylvania, Frank falls through the skylight of the mall covered in snow and sacrifice
himself by cutting the rope to prevent his friends from also falling.
Here's the problem I have with this scene because he cuts first.
He cuts the sled and it falls down on the escalator.
And the likelihood of him dying on impact is probably zero.
He would survive.
Now would he break his back?
His legs and stuff?
Probably.
So he's there.
He's probably still there.
Wishing for death.
As he cut himself.
I mean,
he wasn't actually dying unless he went, he was able to.
Unless he went headfirst.
But the way he cut himself, he did not.
You never know.
You know, I'm assuming he died on impact.
My question is, why didn't they just tie the rope to the metal beam that was holding?
That was holding the last guy.
Instead of that guy, what was his name?
I'm Jason.
Instead of Jason taking off his gloves to brace himself on glass.
Yeah.
But on the metal.
I was like, none of this makes sense.
No.
Because the first thing I would do is break the glass on the next pain.
Break the next pain of glass.
And tie the rope.
Yeah.
Have him cut off the supplies.
But tie the rope to the metal.
Yeah.
That could have worked.
That could have worked.
So the first thing I would do, because I'd be like glass breaks.
And FYI, if we have to trek through this and I fall through.
I'm leaving.
I'm not sacrificing myself.
No, I know.
Everyone's coming with me.
That's why you'd be on the back and I'll be on the rope for the ball.
Because you know what?
If there were other people in this trek with us, they'd watch me cut you off.
Yes.
They'd watch me cut the, and I'd be like, leave them.
I'd be yelling murderers.
Murderers.
And I'd be yelling back.
Yup.
Yup.
100%.
Bitch.
This is what you would do if it was me.
You're so selfish.
You're just like Peter.
In the library, most survivors set out to join the Southern States refugees after the flood
water freezes, despite Sam's warnings.
Oh, yes.
Okay.
So they're like, they see some people emerge.
Yeah.
After everything's frozen and they're heading self.
And then this kid is my dad's a scientist.
He says it's the, the, the, I, I probably like one.
I wouldn't want to walk.
That's not, and that's not just a far walk.
I wouldn't walk it.
I wouldn't want to walk it in springtime.
Let alone the fucking frozen tundra.
It's a long way.
Yeah.
We got books to burn.
They got M&Ms and some chips.
I'm like, oh, yeah, I can do this.
And look, once everything's frozen over, you can go into the next buildings.
Yeah.
And look for food.
You can go foraging for food.
I'd rather do that in Manhattan than end up in the middle of God knows where.
Because you're not going to have, you're not going to have a lot of, oh, God, landmarks to guide your way.
No.
And he's not carrying around a compass.
He doesn't know where the fuck he's going.
I'm not following a man anywhere.
First of all, because you could end up trusting out the Atlantic.
You could exactly.
I'm like, no, man, I'm not doing that shit.
Not doing it.
I would have stayed to mostly because of laziness.
A hundred percent for you.
Yeah.
I would have stayed because I'd be like, so well, we're just going to wander around in the cold for what?
Yeah.
I can, I'd rather stay indoors.
Thank you.
And they drop and they're dropping like flies.
Yeah.
The one guy's like, maybe we should just head back.
This sucks.
And then there's that old couple that's just laying there.
They just died.
They just froze and died.
And the cops like, oh, well, sir, look a little sadder.
Yeah.
In Mexico, Becker's learned, Becker learns that Blake's motorcade.
This is the president.
Parish in the super storm.
Laura develops sepsis from her injury.
Oops.
I just clicked on sepsis.
You want to know what's.
Oh, that's just gross looking.
I know what sepsis is.
That's not good.
Thank you.
Sam Brian and JD scour an abandoned Russian cargo ship that drifted into the city before
the water froze for penicillin and supplies.
When they find them, they also encounter a pack of a skate cartoon wolves from Central
Park Zoo.
At first, I was like, and I forgot, this wasn't just an afternoon.
Like, I'm like, the wolves would just take off and they wouldn't be this aggressive.
Actually, this is days and days.
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure they would get a little aggressive.
But, and I watched the race.
Are you telling me there aren't enough dead bodies for them to non?
That's that too.
Yeah.
And food and grocery stores and buildings and stuff.
And other animals because they can't be the only ones that survived.
Yeah.
So I mean, starting for days and days and days, maybe they're just fucking crazy.
Call them crazy wolves, sure.
But I don't think this is just a, I'm super hungry.
Yeah.
The boys found off the wolves and returned to the library with what they need.
As the eye of the North American superstar passes over and freezes Manhattan.
Yeah, this was them out running.
Yeah.
It's the stupidest thing when you think about it.
But it did look kind of cool.
And it had that tension build up and all that.
And it was, it did look really cool.
It did look really cool.
It was cool.
It was cool.
It is dumb as shit.
But it looks cool.
And you're just like, and you do, you're like, survive the cartoon wolves.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jack and Jason barely skate by taking shelter in the abandoned restaurant.
I was hoping they were going to tell me if it was a Wendy's or Burger King.
No.
Yeah, he just laid lights a couple of grease fires and they're good.
He lights the stove.
Yeah.
He lights the stove.
I thought I did the fry.
No, he was a stove.
Yeah, because you see the various burners on.
It would have been funnier if he was like doing some fries and stuff when butt Jason woke up.
That would be weird.
Especially because they're all very frozen.
Well, that's why he got the deep fry.
Where am I?
That's a band restaurant.
Days later, the super storm dissipates.
Raymond Becker succeeds.
Richard Blake as president after finding people outside frozen to death, including those from the library who tried to escape.
Jack and Jason reached the library, finding Sam's group alive.
Jack sends a radio message to US forces in Mexico to begin evacuation efforts.
In his first address as new president from the US Embassy in Mexico, Becker apologizes on the weather channel for his ignorance and sends helicopters to rescue survivors.
Yeah, we get to see a bunch of people coming out on top of buildings and stuff.
Yeah, which was actually really great.
More died than survived.
I mean, there were over 8 million people.
No, true.
And you were talking about maybe a couple hundred.
But it makes sense.
Because I feel like especially for New Yorkers, I feel like damn near everybody who survived this was probably a transplant from somewhere else.
Yeah, or Italian.
Or Italian.
Or Italian.
There's a stubborn.
I would even say Puerto Ricans because they're like, hmm, let's find a place with a working.
Because in New York, it's a 2004, especially.
They still had a lot of apartments with wood burning fireplaces.
Yeah.
That's still worked.
Yeah.
You just gotta find something to burn.
There are still some apartments here, like condos here in Toronto that have wood burning fireplaces.
Were you wondering when they were in the library?
I get the books fine.
Yeah.
Of course.
But why didn't you burn some of the wood and furniture?
You brought it up to me in the preview.
And I was like, no, valid because the wood would burn longer.
That's right.
That's what we talked about.
It would burn a lot longer.
It would burn a lot longer.
You wouldn't have to constantly feed the fire.
But that's a lot of books.
You were good.
But also does anybody in that library look super outdoorsy?
No.
Like you go camping on the regular?
No, not at all.
No.
I don't go camping on the regular.
But even I know that if you were to put wood on there instead of just books,
it would sustain itself longer.
But I was also a part of the outdoor club in grade 9.
Did you actually go outdoors or did you assimilated at a Smithsonian or something?
No, we actually did go outdoors.
We did a weekend long.
In a park?
Algonquin Park.
Oh, an actual park.
There you go.
A weekend of canoe camping in Algonquin Park.
And then we did another camping trip.
But that one was in April and then it started snowing.
And none of us were prepared for that.
Because we were like, what the fuck?
We thought it was going to rain a little bit.
So we all had punch-os.
None of us brought winter gear.
No.
Like we had spring gear.
Temperature dropped.
Temperature dropped.
It started snowing.
And then we abandoned that camping trip after one night.
We were like, we're getting the fuck out of here by.
This is stupid.
Yeah.
It was.
It was terrible.
That was terrible.
It's called evolution.
We still had a lot of fun though.
But it was funny because they also had public bathrooms at that camping trip.
Like with fleshing toilets and shit.
And I was like, I think.
That's a bonus.
I was like, I think I like like taking a sh-
Being in the wilderness more than these bathrooms.
Because I keep thinking a zero killer is going to jump out and like try to kill me.
Because what the fuck?
It was so creepy.
And then like the lights were flashed.
I'm like, no, man.
Always flicker.
When you're in the woods and you get into the bathroom.
I was like, no.
They always flicker.
So we got to leave there.
But we stayed for the entire weekend for the canoe camping trip.
And I'll go on Quinn.
FYI, if you're listening about this camping thing and to people that this is completely off topic.
But in New Jersey where they filmed the first Friday 13th, they do have a where you can go and spend the night there.
You can they show the movie.
You can go on a little canoe trips and stuff.
Whether or not they have a paid actor that six foot six jumping out of the behind from behind a tree and a Jason match.
I don't know.
I mean, I think that would be awesome.
To go and spend the night and go hiking and canoeing and then watch the movie and do the tour.
I think that would be awesome.
That would be fantastic.
Just like the resort in North Carolina where they filmed dirty dancing.
They have dirty dancing weekends.
Not as fantastic, but sure.
I think it's just as fantastic.
And honestly, both of those are on my bucket list to do.
I mean, if they want to gift it to me.
Yay.
No, they won't because nobody knows we're here.
It's fine.
All right.
Anyways, continue.
So he's apologizing on the weather channel and sending helicopters to rescue survivors including Jack and Sam's group in New York on the International Space Station.
Astronauts look down in awe at Earth's transformed surface now with ice sheets extending across much of North and hemisphere.
Remarking the air never looks so clear.
And that is the end of our movie.
Yes, yes.
All right.
What's your score?
This one is a buy for me.
And here's why this is very high rewatchability.
There is something very, very comforting about the heroes of the story surviving this.
Because there are no tragic deaths for people you really care about.
And like you even care about the vice president even though it would have been nice of, you know.
I don't know.
He lost a few fingers to frostbite or something like give me something.
But anyways, but he he realizes his mistake and he cops to it.
He apologizes any promises to do better.
Jack follows through on a promise for his son because he's been known to fail at promises.
The son survives and so do his friends.
Even the friend who apparently has sepsis.
So with completely unmeasured amounts of penicillin she survives and she does better.
The homeless guy in the super rich kid end up bonding over insulating themselves with paper.
Like it's just it's a nice movie where they're like look when the world faces adversity humanity can come together.
Making a part fences to cross the Rio Grande to go into Mexico.
Sorry.
I was like so poetic, so poetic, so weird.
Take that Mexico.
How do you like it?
It's not even to take that Mexico.
I'm like you 100% know 100 if shit went down in the United States.
Like really, really went down a natural disaster or something like that where they had to evacuate.
You know those motherfuckers aren't waiting at checkpoints at borders to go through.
They're going to be like no, we're crashing.
So I was like beautiful.
This is beautiful.
That's right.
You run that river.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, Jesus.
There's a lot of gringos.
They're coming.
God.
Oh, they're going to do everything.
They have Mexicans lowkey kind of already hate Americans going into Mexico, especially now that they're starting to like gentrifying neighborhoods.
I don't know.
My reaction bands are working over time to be playing like 24 seven to annoy them.
Anyways, that's not the point.
The point is it's a fun movie.
There is natural disasters.
The CGI is like 98% amazing.
There's enough little quirky moments that you're like you giggle a little bit and then through the whole thing.
You know what's one of those movies where no matter how bad it gets, it's going to get better.
And sometimes you just need that.
Sometimes you just it's very entertaining for me.
It's nice to see smart people survive and stupid people die.
I feel bad for that police officer and all the people that he would winked into believing him.
But it's very, very rewatchable.
Very, very rewatch.
Like it's a very soothing movie.
And I probably give it an eight.
Because I mean, let's be real.
It's not that deep.
The dialogue's not that genius.
No.
There isn't really any intricacies to the plot.
Character development is almost nonexistent.
But I don't care.
They develop the characters just enough to get me to care.
And we ride that care to the end.
And that's it.
I'm good.
So yeah, that's my score.
What's your score?
If you remember liking the day after tomorrow, you still will.
If you didn't like it, this movie has not aged to the point where you will like it at all.
Now, you do have to get past the preaching-ness and the...
And you definitely have to accept that science and reality pack their bags about 10 minutes into this movie.
Once you make peace with that, what you're left with is special effects driven disaster spectacle
with a very solid cast.
Like you said, they're not spewing really into anything.
But the acting is fine.
They do sell it.
They do sell the special effects.
And honestly, the effects still hold up.
Not all of them, but a large swath absolutely do.
The scale still feels big.
The destruction still feels massive.
And the cast, especially Dance Quaid and Jake Jones Hall, sell the chaos.
It's...
Actually, everyone sells the chaos.
Yeah.
They do a good job at that.
That's why I went and saw this movie in the first place.
And that's why I wanted to rewatch it.
Reality be damned.
I wanted spectacle.
I wanted weather weaponized.
I wanted to see Mother Nature collect on humans like we owed her money.
I just wanted to see Mother Nature just fuck us over and it would delivered.
Yeah.
At its core.
This is a popcorn disaster movie from Ronald Roland Emmerich.
The King of blowing up landmarks.
And it throws climate change warnings at you.
It pushes us out to be there for your kids' storylines.
And sure, those themes are there.
But if I'm being honest, I wasn't there for those messages.
I was there to watch cities crumble, tidal waves swall, skylines,
and ice storms wreck havoc, and everything in sight.
And on that front, this movie delivers in spades.
This isn't high art.
It's not grounded.
It's not even grounded science fiction.
It's spectacle.
Big, loud, ridiculous spectacle.
And sometimes, that is enough.
This movie's a buy.
A big, stupid disaster movie that promises maximum destruction delivers.
I did not watch this in 4K.
I believe Apple has it in 4K.
You can get it in 4K.
But there is no physical disc in 4K.
I would love to see this movie in 4K.
Redone to look.
Yeah.
Even better.
But it looked fine.
What?
I have it.
I found it today.
Oh.
I watched it on Disney plot.
I couldn't find the fucking movie.
And I wasn't looking for it.
I was looking for something else.
And there it was.
That's always how it works though.
That's dammit.
If you can't find something and you finally give up,
that's when you find it.
That's when you find it.
Fuck's face.
No, my IMDB would, I would give this a 7.
And it's all the destruction and special effects.
I will watch this movie again.
It's just fun.
And people can argue about climate change.
Who cares?
The movie's cool.
I can see why people...
I can't see why people didn't like.
I don't know what they were expecting.
Sometimes when people, they expect like a certain gravitas to go with it.
Because they're like, it's the end of the world.
And they expect people to examine things.
And we're like, that's not this movie.
This is not that movie.
Other movies might do that.
This is not that movie.
This movie has more of that than, say, like, geostorm and move ball and stuff.
But I still like those movies.
I like 2012.
These movies are dumb.
But they're so awesome.
For the longest time, I didn't realize 2012 was that long.
Because the first time I ever saw 2012, I was in the minute...
No, I wasn't in the makeup republic.
We were in Cuba.
And it was on TV all the time.
Usually in Spanish, occasionally in English.
But we always turned it on at the exact same point.
And like, within a minute or two, it was always when they were like fleeing L.A.
Awesome.
And I was like, oh.
You don't even have to understand the English.
But here's the best Spanish.
Well, I was translating it for my friend.
Because I understand mostly Spanish.
What?
The city's falling.
Aye, aye, aye.
No, the dialogue and stuff.
I'd be like, so this is what he's saying.
Anyways, we kept clue.
And I was like, oh, it must be like 10 or 15 for them to be leaving.
Like, we're probably about 15, 20 minutes into the movie.
Then I actually watched the movie from the beginning once we got back.
And I was like, how?
It was a full hour of movie before we get to that point.
I was like, my god.
What happens in that hour?
I think it's a stupid movie.
But every time it's on, I'm like, who 2012?
Yeah, no, I love 2012.
It's great.
That's awesome.
Yeah, no, this movie is the disaster.
Yeah, but anyone in this movie, I was sharing for the storms.
More destruction, more destruction.
I think the storms did just fine.
Yeah, the storm did great.
No, it's not, yeah, there's not a lot of thinking in this movie.
Yeah, no.
No, it's just destruction.
This is a really good movie for when you really want your brain to turn off.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
When you're like, I just, I need two hours of just mindless entertainment.
This is really what they're talking about.
And it's amazing.
All right.
Well, we have two biots and a seven and an eight.
Yeah, anything else you want to add to?
Nope, I'm good.
Shakespearean.
This is incredibly complex and emotionally explorative contemplation on life.
No, I'm good.
I'm good.
All right.
Well, thanks for coming back to 2004 and going over the day after tomorrow.
And until the next movie we remember Liking.
Congratulations.
You just had one of your childhood movie memories vindicated.
Or they just eviscerated it.
I don't know.
This is a generic one-size-fits-all type of ending to the podcast.
So thank you for listening.
And please join Anna and Jimmy next time for another episode of the I Remember Liking That Movie Podcast.
If you dare to go back and watch that movie, you remember Liking.
