Murder Mystery (Netflix - 2019) ft. Jacklyn Collier

[00:00:01] [SPEAKER_01] Hi, I'm Bran and I love Netflix mystery movies.

[00:00:08] [SPEAKER_03] Hi, I'm Jax and I really, really, really, really like Netflix murder mysteries.

[00:00:16] [SPEAKER_00] I'm Dan and Knives Out is on Netflix, which I really do love, but I despise Netflix murder mystery movies. And this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast.

[00:00:29] [SPEAKER_01] Deck The Hallmark, it's this podcast. Oh, oh, oh, oh.

[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_00] Friends host this podcast. Oh, oh, oh, oh. We hope you like this jolly podcast. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_01] Do-do-do-do. Oh, boy. Do-do-do-do. Man, I'm in the Christmas sphere right now. Sometimes the song hits. Sometimes the song hits. Sometimes the song hits. Sometimes the song hits. Sometimes the song hits. Sometimes the song hits. That's what you need to know. Sometimes it hits. Merry Christmas, Jax.

[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_03] Merry Christmas. I mean, I'm not here as often as you guys are. What? But I think that song always hits.

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, you think so? Wow.

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_01] Some people are saying that it's due or due for a change. Some people are saying. Oh. Many are saying.

[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, well, if something is up your sleeve.

[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_00] No, I don't have sleeves today. No, no, no.

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, oh. Okay. I thought you were trying to tell me that you were getting a new song and that I could do that up.

[00:01:27] [SPEAKER_00] It was kind of cryptic when you said some people were saying it.

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_01] No, I honestly, in this particular case, I meant it exactly as it is. Some people would that wish. It's honest.

[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_03] It's us. Sorry. I'm in mystery mode, so I thought you were being serious.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_01] I know. Yeah, it's fair. I know it. It's fair.

[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_00] Serious mystery we're talking about.

[00:01:42] [SPEAKER_01] Jax. Serious mystery. You love a good mystery. Yes.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_03] And what I love more than a good mystery is a good mystery that's also a comedy.

[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_01] Get out of here with that. Now, do you remember when you first fell in love with the mysteries?

[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_03] Yes. I was probably like five or six and my mom introduced me to Nancy Drew.

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_00] Yep.

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. And it was game over from there. Give me any mystery at that point.

[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_00] Do you have a particular favorite mystery movie like or book like that's like your, you know, it's all your mouth rush now?

[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_03] Like the top top. Creme de Crop. Crop. I read so many different ... Crème de la Creme?

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_00] Creme de la Creme. Creme of the crop.

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_03] Actually, actually, creme de la crop is kinda clever.

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_00] That's what he said. He said creme de crop is what he said.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_03] Creme de crop is not a thing. Stim to stem, creme de crop. Creme de crop. Creme de crop.

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_01] Creme de crop? Nope.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_03] Creme of the crop.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_01] Creme of the crop. Creme of the crop.

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_03] Creme to the top.

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_01] Creme de la creme. Creme de la crem.

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_03] The of our generations who's first. That's right.

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_00] Who's first?

[00:02:51] Who's first?

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_00] You said who's first. I'll tell you who's first. You know that classic Abbott and Costello bit, who's first? Who's first? Hey, I'm going first. No, you are. Who's first? Is it me or you? It's me. I'm second.

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_03] Completely intentional. Creme de Crap. I also, like you, Dan, I love the Rian Johnson stuff. I consistently read mysteries. So it's just, it's what I'm consuming. I'm obsessed with Elsbeth. Okay. Like, honestly.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_01] I don't know what an Elsbeth is.

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_00] It's a TV show on CBS.

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_03] With Carrie Preston.

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_01] I've not seen it yet, but I hear great things. Oh, it's a good?

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_03] It's one of those that, you know, sometimes you're like, oh, a CBS show. What are we doing here? The acting is so great and so funny.

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_01] Elsbeth.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_03] Elsbeth. Yes.

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_01] I don't know what that means. Is that a name? It's a name. Like Elizabeth. But Elsbeth. But Elsbeth. That's right. Is Elsbeth short for Elizabeth? Or is it a proper name?

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_03] No, that's her name. And it's Carrie Preston plays the titular character.

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_01] That's right. The titular. Yeah. I am so,

[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_03] I was hoping, I was, I. The lead role. Oh, God. The lead role. Thank you for giving me, this is why people should be watching on Philo. So really quickly. Because Bran gave me exactly what I needed when I said titular.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_01] The titular. The titular. Have you read any good mysteries this year? The year of 2025?

[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, yeah. Someone is lying.

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_01] Someone is lying. That's a good title. It's a great title. It was really good.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_03] The night we lost him.

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_01] The night we lost him. Who is him?

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_03] It's her dad.

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, wow.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_03] But it's, you know, the handmaiden, the housemaid. It's like a trilogy. It's crammed the crop.

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_01] Got it. It's crammed the crop.

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_03] But I mean, just mystery. And I'm trying now to read exclusively female authors just for, I was doing that just for the month of March. But now we're in May and it's continued.

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_00] I did a year where I only read female authors or people or authors of color. Those are the only two for a year. Yes. I was like, I'm going to read No White Dudes Writing and it was great. It was fantastic. I recommend.

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_01] I did something where I read a book one year and that, I mean, I recommend. A lot of people are like, uh-oh, Brandon's gone woke again. And I'm like, listen, sometimes you just gotta read a book, you know, and then go from there.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_03] Did you do it on, was this an audio book or did you actually read it?

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_00] I did a- How dare you actually read? Are you kidding me right now? Did you actually read it? Yeah. Audiobooks count, Jax.

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_03] No, no, they do. They do.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_00] They do.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_03] They do.

[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_01] This is a hill that Dan will not only die on but he'll kill for.

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_00] That's the only way I read. I thought I didn't love reading until I found audiobooks.

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_03] No, no, absolutely it counts and I feel like me even asking that feels very ableist.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah, it was.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, how dare you? I'm sorry, Bran. Just out of curiosity, in what medium did you read it? I did.

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_01] Did you listen to it? I did actually read it, yes. Yeah, to answer your question. You actually read it. I did actually read it. Yeah. Let's talk murder mystery and I'll actually read the synopsis. I love it. And you can listen to it which is not the same. Not the same as reading. I love reading. June 14th, 2019 is when the movie premiered on the Netflix and it went a little something like this. We meet Nick who is a New York police officer who desperately wants to be a detective but keeps failing the test. He is married to Audrey,

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_01] a hairdresser who dreams of visiting Europe which is a promise that Nick made to her on their wedding for their honeymoon but they never got to do it and they have not gone yet. After their 15th wedding anniversary dinner which they do with some friends, Audrey calls them on it and Nick is like, you ruined the surprise. We're going to Europe. He has not booked that trip but he does. And listen, sometimes you got to spend a few thousand dollars

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_01] to keep up a lie. On the flight, Audrey meets billionaire Charles Cavendish who invites her to a gathering aboard his family's yacht. When Nick hears about this, he's like, no way, I have this whole thing planned but when that plan turns out to be basically just an overly packed tour bus, he gets in and says, let's do the yacht. Aboard the yacht, Nick and Audrey meet quite the cast of characters. You got Malcolm Quince who is Cavendish's

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_01] billionaire uncle, Susie who is Cavendish's ex-fiance and is now with Quince himself. Quince's son Toby, actress Grace Ballard, a colonel, his bodyguard, a rapper, a race car driver. It's a who's who aboard the old yacht there. Later that evening, Quince arrives and announces that Susie, his new wife, will now be his sole heir. He brought everybody

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_01] on the yacht to tell them that they're not getting any money. They're being cut out of the will. Naturally, this does not go well. Everyone gets a little mad and just before he's about to sign the paperwork, the lights go out and when they come back on, Quince is found stabbed. Knives are out. Knives are out. Step through the heart. You're to blame. Give me money. Dead.

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_01] Nick, Jones. That's good. Thank you. We're still working on the rhyme. I think there's some things we can do. Nick jumps into detective mode despite not being a detective and Audrey's right there with him. She loves a good murder mystery like Jax and tells everyone to stay on the yacht. That night, Toby is found dead in what looks to be a suicide. When they arrive in Monte Carlo, a local investigator comes aboard the yacht to question everybody

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_01] and all of the other guests point their fingers at the random Americans that are on board, which, fair. The investigator tells Nick and Audrey that he knows that they're guilty and he promises that he will prove it. At the Grand Prix, Nick and Audrey begin their own investigation to clear their names, interrogating all of the other guests. That night, the colonel's bodyguard invites him into his room and drops a bombshell. Quince once married

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_01] the colonel's fiancé while the colonel was in a coma. She died during childbirth, as did the child. Just as things are getting juicy, someone knocks on the door and Nick and Audrey hide and when they come out, the bodyguard has been shot. He dies before naming the killer. Audrey is shaken by this and they go, they're able to escape, they have to go off this ledge and all this stuff. They end up at a bar and they see

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_01] the local news and that is when she finds out that Nick is not really a detective. He did not pass his detective test. Feeling completely blindsided by this, she storms off and is picked up by Cavendish who urges her to leave Monte Carlo immediately. Eventually, everybody winds up at a lake and Nick and Audrey reconcile and start to suspect that Cavendish and Susie are romantically involved and were conspiring together

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_01] to split Quince's fortune. While fleeing a masked attacker with a blow dart, they run into Carlos, the race car driver. Susie is killed with a dart and Nick and Carlos chase the killer but lose him. Nick and Audrey head to Quince's mansion to confront Cavendish only to find him poisoned. They're wrong again. They call the investigator and gather the remaining guests but everyone seems to have an alibi. Nick and Audrey

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_01] then reveal that Grace, the actress, is the mastermind behind the killings. She actually is the daughter who was believed to have died in childbirth. She convinced Toby to kill their father and then killed him herself. When she tries to escape, Nick shoots her in the arm but the mystery isn't over. Carlos is revealed to be the second killer seeking revenge on Quince for the injuries that left his father disabled. Carlos takes the investigator hostage

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_01] and tries to escape in a car but Nick and Audrey stop him with the help of that overcrowded tour bus that they skipped out on earlier. In the end, the investigator thanks them and offers to help Nick finally earn his detective promotion and the couple is going to continue their European adventure hopefully with no more murder and that my friends was Murder Mystery. We did it. We did do it. Let's take a quick break.

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_01] We'll come back. We'll break this movie down here on Deck the Hallmark.

[00:11:55] Everybody,

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_01] it's mystery time with Bran. Dan Jax is here. Mystery Maven Jax. Mystery Maven. That's right. And it is time for us to break down

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_00] Murder Mystery. Can I get a little inside the music background here? When you did the bubbly sesh and you were the mystery person, is that because Shaw just didn't like them as much as you? I'm just curious. You guys did this whole thing and it was like Jax is the real mystery maven.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_03] No one likes him as much as me. I said I wanted to start covering that content.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_00] Okay, got it.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_03] Even though less people were watching it, I was like, what is going to make me enjoy my job more?

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_00] Of course. There you go. Got it.

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_03] The mysteries. Yes, yes.

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_01] Let's talk about

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_03] Shaw hates murder.

[00:12:47] [SPEAKER_00] Shaw hates murder. You, on the other hand, love her. I love it. Love her. Big murder fan. Talked about Jax. Pro murder. She's a murder maven

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_01] actually.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, murder maven.

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_01] Let's get to Murder Mystery, the 2019 classic from Netflix. Big stars? Big fun? Who can say? We'll find out. Jax, what do you think? Murder mystery?

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_03] Who can say? Yes, undoubtedly this is big fun. Um, Bran, really good job with that synopsis. There is a lot going on in this movie. And you know, honestly, like, in some ways perhaps too much, but I don't care. This is a wild, fun ride. You've got Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. Like, this is just so much fun. The mystery is fast-paced. It doesn't take itself too seriously. It's nice and twisty. There are vibrant characters.

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_03] Like, for me, I rarely re-watch movies in general, but this is my third time watching this and I just had a blast. It's so much fun. I want them to keep making these movies. Please and thank you. Mystery Maven certifies this as fresh. Oh! Certified fresh!

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_00] It's a Mystery Maven certified fresh pick. Unbelievable. How about that? Well, I got good news. We got at least one more. Yeah, we do. I've got good news. There is a sequel. There is a sequel.

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_01] We'll get to next week. I am with Jax on this one. I love this movie. I've also seen it multiple times, which isn't something that I typically do either. My wife loves to re-watch movies and this happens to be one that she enjoys re-watching, but I'm also, I love re-watching this movie. I think it's a lot of fun. It makes me laugh a lot. You know, the title of Murder Mystery is, one,

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_01] confusing because it's like, let's name it something else because I think it makes it hard to Google. If I was in the room, I would have been like, let's name it something like Murder, Murder on the Europe with the European Good Boys, something like that. Murder with the European Good Boys. Yeah, I love that title. We can workshop it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But just calling it Murder Mystery is, we could have added a little something to spice it up. I'm sure they'll rectify that in the second one.

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, for me, this is less about the murder mystery itself and more about the fun that I have along the way. And yeah, I really enjoyed myself. I thought they did a great job with these characters and it made me laugh a lot. Dano?

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah, I mean, I think this movie's terrible. I will say it doesn't lend itself to critique because I think this movie is very, very lazy and done for a very specific reason and it's for family vacation. And I'm not mad that it happened because if I had the clout of Adam Sandler and then could take a family vacation with friends and family and kind of make a movie on the side and like one

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_00] take at a time, that's what I would do. It's just super duper inane and sipping and lazy. But there's those critiques make it sound like it's a real movie and I just look and I Brandon and I were talking about this before it aired because he legitimately likes this movie and I legitimately think this movie's trash. But I do think- So it's a Tuesday. I think, I do think some of that, some of that does boil down to the fact that, you know, Adam Sandler movies

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_00] were, have never been for everyone, but his original brand, his post SNL brand of humor in, in Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison and Mr. Deeds and Waterboy and all of these movies that were massive, massive hits for him before, you know, before pre grownups, they all were a very specific of super sophomoric, really dumb humor and, but they were curated. So like they were made

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_00] over months and they were, they had scripts that probably had rewrites and edits and then they decided on the best gags and jokes for the movie. And so even if the humor wasn't your thing, you would point to five or six moments ago. They at least consistently nailed a theme of what they were going for. Starting with grownups, a movie that was released in the theater, that's just loaded with, with people like Chris Rock and David Spade. Adam Sandler was a family guy and he just was like, our, we're going to rent these big cabins. We're going to go up and

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_00] we'll make a movie on the side and we'll ad lib most of it. We're funny. Spade's just, he said all this, this is not me making up a story like Adam Sandler has said all of this. Spade's the funniest guy I know. We'll just let him make up a lot of his lines. Kevin, like we'll just improv these scenes that get us like, we'll, we'll write the plot for the scenes that the script for the plot of the scenes that matter, but everything in between there, we'll just kind of improv and get there. And grownups makes a gajillion dollars. And so Netflix signs in to do all these movies.

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_00] And so what we have is like a carbon copy of a carbon copy of an Adam Sandler movie. We have a very shaggy, rough draft outline. Uh, that has a few, like if you squint a few moments, like the knife coming out and back in really a funny moment, which I'll talk about my feels, but this movie could have been written by my children. Like it literally the scenes that are the scenes that get you from plot a to plot B that don't matter.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_00] There's no script there. There's nothing there. But your children are

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_03] very creative. They are incredibly

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_00] creative. But my point is, is that for me to really just like murder mystery, like movies that are named that way are spoofs, scary movie spoof, right? Like, like not another teen movie.

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah.

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_00] Spoof. When you say murder mystery, I want a lot more of the knife bit. Like I want a Leslie Nielsen style. Everything is a joke movie. And this movie is, isn't that it is just, we all went on vacation and that's fine. I don't like it's not, it's unfortunate that I have to sit here and tell you, I don't like this movie. I think it's terrible. Here's why, because it doesn't matter if I think it's terrible. Unlike movies that I think are trying to be art

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_00] Sandler's having fun. He's dear friends with Jen Aniston. Their families go on vacation together. And if this is what you have to do on the side to, to make the vacation a write-off and that's part of your job, then great. And you know what? It came out right before COVID. It came out the same year as knives out, which also makes me just like shudder in general that, that those two movies, you know, knives out is just like a masterpiece and this movie is exactly what it is. I just don't think anyone, you could not convince me anyone is here to do more than two takes or trying to

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_00] make high art. And there is a little bit of entertainment along the way, but for me, gosh, it's a tough watch. And then we're not getting, we'll do the second one next week, but I can't imagine why you would make a sequel aside from to just because the first one was successful. You get to make, do this whole thing again, like grownups too was. So yeah, I don't have any desire to watch this ever again. It, it isn't Adam Sandler enough to be funny and it isn't entertaining enough. The mystery is not entertaining. I, it just isn't for me.

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_00] And I do like stuff that's fun. Contrary to what brain is about to tell you as soon as I finished talking. I wasn't going to say anything. I do.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_03] Dan, to your point though, like Adam Sandler right now, I know cause I have some girls I coached that are auditioning for it. His daughter, Sunny Sandler, who he did a movie. You are so not invited to my bat mitzvah. And she was fine in it. Like, you know, like be the lead in your school play fine. But it's like, I'm watching a bunch of my girls go in for this who are like great actors. And they're all going in for like the, the, um, side characters, like the supporting roles that they probably won't book.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_03] And I'm like, uh, there and you know, he's Sunny is there, like, you know, number one in the call sheet. And it's like, you know what? I've heard the nicest things about Adam Sandler. And I'm guess I'm like, you know what? If I could, I would, I guess I would do the same thing. So yet to your point, there probably is a whole thing of like, I'm just feeling like it's friends hanging out, having a good time. And I'm like getting that energy. Yeah. And I think if that

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_00] works for you, then it's awesome. And I want to be very, very clear. Like I don't, the, the idea of Adam Sandler making a movie for his daughter, I think most people would do that. I mean, LeBron James put his son on a basketball team and like, you know, that's not uncommon, but all accounts of Adam Sandler are, he makes no bones about what he is. And I think that's what people like about like wearing the and one basketball shorts before, you know, past his kneecaps and the giant t-shirts walking around in his, in his giant hoodie making like he, the thing about, and I

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_00] told brain this yesterday, the thing about Adam Sandler is he's a phenomenal actor who does, who doesn't really want to do that. So like he's goes and makes a softie brothers movie, like uncut gems. He's unbelievable in that movie. He goes and makes a Paul Thomas Anderson movie, punch drunk love. He's unbelievable in that movie. He goes and makes a James L Brooks movie Spanglish. He's unbelievable in that movie. He has the ability to like really like dig his heels in and be an actor. He would much prefer to hang out and that's awesome.

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_00] And the fact that he's made, he's worth hundreds of millions of dollars making hangout movies. I'm, I as doing what I do for a living, I can't possibly be mad at the guy. But if you ask me if I ever want to watch that movie, no, I hated it. So that's where I am.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_01] Why do you think it Jackson, I like it so much and that we've rewatched it.

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_00] They want to be a part of the good. You want to be a part of the good time. You want, you want to be invited to the good time.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_03] That's going to be invited. You both want to be invited to the good time.

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. I don't necessarily want to go, but I do want to watch it. Yeah, I do want to.

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_03] I do want to go.

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_01] No, I like, well, I like watching. I don't want to be there. Someone might talk to me.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_03] Interesting. Interesting. But you'd have your own room.

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. That's true.

[00:22:52] You would.

[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_01] I would have my own room. But I, Dan, as we've talked about, I don't like. Yeah. Brandon, I always

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_00] room together. I don't like it. Even when they give us her room.

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_03] Is this true?

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, that's.

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_00] It's something.

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_03] Is it because you, because you're both happily married and not used to sleeping alone?

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_00] I am fine. I would. I actually really enjoy having my own room. Brand does not enjoy having his own room. I get kind of sad. Typically.

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_03] Oh, I love you so much, Brand. Typically. Oh, that is darling.

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_00] Typically, I hang out with Brand. If we're allotted three rooms, we give one to Brian, one to Aaron and Brand and I share. That's how it has almost always gone.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_03] You guys. Well, I think because we're

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_00] great employers. We are. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We prefer employees. Yes.

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_03] It's not because Brand has anxious attachment.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_00] No, no, no, no, no. Not at all. Let's. Does Brand snore? Yeah. It doesn't matter. No.

[00:23:50] Doesn't matter.

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_01] Do I really snore?

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_00] I mean, on and off.

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. Who doesn't?

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_00] Who doesn't? Who doesn't have a sleep apnea?

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. One hundred. Yeah. Well, no, that is true. Sometimes I forget to breathe. That is true.

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_00] You should really get it

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_01] away awake or asleep. I forget to breathe. It's a problem. Sometimes if I'm really focusing in, I'll forget to breathe and I'll be

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_03] And then does it, does your body just take over like. Yes.

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. It's involuntary. The body does what it's supposed to. Yeah. Finally. When faced with certain death. Yeah. It finally does its job.

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_00] I'm going to kick in the gear. Better light than never. Oh my God, man.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_01] Let's get to all the feels. We're talking about what this is going to give us feels. Jax.

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_03] So I had sexy feels when Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Dish are talking at that bar. Yeah.

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_00] Like, I mean, come on.

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_03] Okay. And then I do think it's really funny when Adam Sandler, you know, walks up and, but I think she, that moment I was like, oh, you know, she's having a sexy little flirt man with this guy, but she knows what's what with her husband. And that's also setting up that we're not going to have any major conflict in their marriage. Um, I had big feels, uh, when they came in at the very end and they're looking so sexy. I think this is something that this

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_03] movie does really well, that these two stars are dressed kind of, um, basic, basic clothes, pedestrian, like, you know, if you will, like, and I shop at TJ Maxx, so I'm saying this with love, but like something that is on sale at TJ Maxx.

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_03] You know, not like, not like any of the newer stuff there. So on sale at TJ Maxx and then they come in at the end looking all hot and they solve the case. You know, I was Twitter paid it for that. And then the end, the reveal at the end, that turn of, oh my gosh, he's, he's actually been able to understand them the whole time and he's in on it too. That did it for me.

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah. Yeah. No, that's good. Uh, you, I mean, you mentioned there like the, the, there's not really that much uh, like tension in their marriage. And I think that's part of what worked for me is their relationship together and how they just make each other laugh. And I thought that that was really nice and I thought it was sweet.

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_00] I didn't think they had any like romantic chemistry at all. Like, I think they're dear friends and it just is so clear that they're dear friends and that's it. Uh, however, the scene where this, the original murder Terrence Stamp, who shows up.

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_01] It was when you saw, uh, that they were married, you said, okay, I think that is that what that was.

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_00] I mean, it, it is a week. Well, knowing what you know about both of those people, it is crazy to think that they are married because of how like close they are. Uh, and they, but also, yeah, it was weird. It was a weird, like it was, they don't, they, none of the, they don't see Sandman. I don't know what to tell you. I'm not, listen, Adam Sandler, I'm not here to criticize Adam Sandler at all. It just never felt like a romantic relationship is all I'm saying.

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, I, I would agree with you. I don't feel like it feels romantic. It feels like people that have been married a long time and they're more friends.

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_00] And that, but they just, you know, I think Jen is totally like, this is purely from listening to Smartless and how they, they talk about Jennifer Anderson as a dear friend of the them on Smartless and then they have her on. It seems like she is always hosting everyone in her house, always thinking of like just ways to organize an event. And this struck me as Sandler goes, Hey Jen, Hey Jen, I was going to make a move. Like, let's go make a movie. And then Jen shows up and is like, all right, well, we have to have some things in place and

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_00] we, we have to do some things. And so I'll make sure that these things get done. That's what this strikes me as. That's what this movie is, is Adam's like, ah, and then we'll bring Jen and it'll be, and then Jen shows up and she's like, all right, well, we have to look a certain way. We have to act a certain way. And Adam's like, I guess that is the vibe I get from that movie. And that's fine. The scene that did make me laugh and I've already mentioned it, but Terrence stamp, the venerable Terrence stamp shows up to get murdered in one scene in this movie, which is great.

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_00] And he gets murdered by getting stabbed with a giant knife. Like a speaking of footlong boys from Costco, a long night. And then the dude and he puts it back in. That is a like, that's a, that's a minted Sandler movie bit there. Like that is exactly what you would expect from these movies. And I did laugh at that. And then I chuckled a couple other times throughout the movie.

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_01] Uh, chuckle count. What do we got? Two. Two chuckles. Let's take a break. We'll come back. Uh, we'll get to the way one, the what the homework here on.

[00:28:38] [SPEAKER_02] Hi, welcome back

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_01] everybody. We're talking murder mystery. Uh, we're heading back to 2019, which is fun. Uh, let's, uh, let's get to the way. What is what we're talking about? What in this movie made us go away? What? I'll start with you checks because this

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_03] movie is above reproach and I know Dan will cover it all. I, I only, I only I'm only going to do what's your tough.

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_00] It's a zany movie

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_03] because it's all thing.

[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah.

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_03] Um, okay. I understand. And there, there are some women that do marry for money, but I found it completely unbelievable that this hot young thing would marry this old guy because she was already with a hot young guy who was already rich.

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_03] And I think to me, you know, that whole, the idea of diminishing returns, like it doesn't matter. yes, he's so much richer, but really in what your life can be and what you can do. Like Cavendish is rich enough.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_01] But if Cavendish, if Cavendish's money is all, is all, uh, from the teat of, come on grandpappy, then maybe I should just go with grandpappy to be safe

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_03] from the, from the teacher. Grandpappy.

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_01] That's exactly right. Nicely done. Might as well, might as well be, be safe.

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_03] She might as well. Yeah. That's be safe. Be safe. I just think like, look, I mean.

[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_00] Is the goal of, of that to just the older dude will die sooner and I'll have all the money and then I can marry for love? Is that the, or just to have the money and never speak to anyone again?

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah. Like I honestly, I think to me, I, I actually, my brain can't compute what it would be and not in like a self-righteous or like, Oh, it's morally wrong way. Marrying for love, a marrying for, no, marrying for love is great. Nevermind. Take that back. That's what I did. Oh boy. Marrying for money.

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_01] The lies are beginning to unravel.

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_03] Marrying for money seems like an awful lot of work.

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_02] Yeah.

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_03] You have to hang out with that person and even if they are on their way out, like there's the, there's things that are happening with their skin and their smells and like, I, I don't know. I don't know. I had a good friend who dated a much older man.

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_02] Uh huh.

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_03] And I got some details. Okay. And that's.

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_01] That was enough to

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_00] make you not go down that.

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_03] That was enough. It strikes me as

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_00] the, you, when I taught kids who worked harder to cheat on the test than to just study.

[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_03] 100%. Yes. That's exactly what it did. You nailed it. That's exactly what it is.

[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. Like I did a lot of work to make sure you couldn't tell that I was cheating. All right. Great. Just study next time. Maybe save yourself some time.

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_01] And the tiny font and then I was able to put it into this bottle. That's right. Have it go right up against the label. That's right. But you couldn't see it. Yeah. Yeah. It took hours. Yeah. Yeah. It took hours.

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_00] I kept using, I combined chat GPT with papers I had stolen on the internet and I kept re-editing them to make them sound like my language. I'm like, bro, you could have just written a paper. Like you could have just written one. Whatever. Yeah. There you have it. Anything else, Jax?

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_01] No, that's it. So, like when, never mind. I'm not going to, I just the smelly old people thing. I was going to go down that. I don't want to say

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_03] that all old people, just not old. I just want some clarification. It's really the rich ones.

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_01] Oh, the rich smelly old people.

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_03] Specifically, that's what I have encountered and heard about. Not encountered personally.

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_01] You would think that they would be able to spend money to make them not smell. You would. You would think so. You would think so. They got all the money in the world. Listen, I know that this is a part of the bit, but I don't know if the person exists that won't splurge on the $100 Amazon gift card and get the $50 instead, but also still book a last minute European vacation. I don't know if that person truly does exist.

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_00] They spend thousands of dollars for a last minute. Yes. They booked it that night. They flew out the next morning and then did not buy the $9 earplugs. It's it's I don't know

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_01] if that person truly exists, but for comedy it made me laugh. I'm confused as to I listen. I'm not fancy enough to go to Europe and I've never been on a plane that has a bar. Okay. Yeah, but I would think that they that either either the bar is included in your first class ticket or it's open to all and you

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_01] can pay for it. But this is a closed bar where the first class people still do have to pay for that drinks and I don't like again. I've never been on a plane like this. I don't know how they

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_00] work. There's a lot that happens in that on that plane that makes no sense. It's the most of the wait what's take place on that plane. Yeah, including what you just described which I didn't even think of because you

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_01] would think because it's included. Yeah, because at first the bartender is like you can't be here. This is only for these people. Then he comes Adam Sandler comes and he orders a drink and she tells him how much it's going to cost. I don't know. I don't know. It's it's a guy I feel like it's a need or or situation.

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_03] I didn't know. I didn't know either. I'm I only fly private so I'm not. Right.

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, of course.

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_03] Other people on.

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah, that's weird. Yeah, you would. Have you have you ever been on a private private?

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_03] No, no, no.

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_01] You know, no, no people.

[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_03] Well, no, my. So my sister and I got the same sort of scholarship from this place called the McKelvey Foundation when we were in college and they picked. Thank you so much. Well, it was actually just from being from a poor place because

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_01] it's called this the poor place scholarship

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_03] like genuine genuinely. It was so it I mean it wasn't really merit based but a little bit and they pick Jack shows up

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_01] with Cole like on her face for the interview

[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_03] genuinely. Sorry.

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_01] Sorry. I just came out of

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_00] the mind from the mind.

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_03] What's that? Sorry, Paul.

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_00] Forgive me, Paul.

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_03] Forgive me, Paul.

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_00] Forgive me, Paul.

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_03] But my sister, they picked like half of the scholars to go and fly private one Christmas to I believe Costa Rica and my sister was selected. I was not. So she is one private.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_01] I was it was it awesome though for her.

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_03] She said, yeah,

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_01] you can't like talk it up too much, right? No, but pretty awesome. It's pretty cool. And then last but not least, all I could think about as they are doing this high speed chase, Jen Anderson's driving, Sandman's on the passenger seat. Like all I could think about was how funny it would be to see Dan in the passenger seat of a high speed chase. No. And like I imagine you were nervous watching.

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah, I don't even know how to process be being in a high speed chase and not being behind the wheel. Right. I can't. I can't. Yeah, you're twitching a little bit. I don't even know how I would go about. I'm sorry for bringing this up. I would just I would just say I would probably just say shoot me. It's good. Shoot me. And then we'll move forward from there. Maybe the bullet wound will distract me from whatever's

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_01] happening. And this might be a situation where your body takes over like mine does when it needs to breathe. Yeah. Your body might be like, OK, I'm going to suppress the fight or fly away from having to

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_00] drive in a passenger seat. Yes, that's right. It's very tough. Yeah. This is what Jennifer Aniston looks like when her allergies are killing her. This is what Jennifer Aniston. You've all been there, right? Your allergies are killing you. You don't have any medicine. Nose is running. Eyes are red and watery. You feel like your head weak. Yeah. You feel like your head weighs a million pounds. That is supposed to be Aniston in this movie.

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_00] What? What is happening right now? There's not even a hint of acting like her allergies are bothering her. Like it literally is a thing that they say all movie long. Jax, are you laughing over there? I can't see.

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_03] I don't know. I'm laughing. I'm laughing because like it just, of course, like Jennifer Aniston, like America's girl next door. Of course, that's what she looks like when her allergies are bad.

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_00] They're terrible right now.

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_03] Yeah, they're terrible right now. And I'm just thinking about how I look like I got like whacked in the face with a bat. Like my eyes are swollen, my nose is red.

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_00] We all do, Jax. We all like, like if you're going to, I get it. I get that we don't want to put too much thought into this, but maybe don't make the whole Clarendon Allegra thing like a plot line. Like, you know,

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_03] I actually don't know why it was a plot line. Or maybe just

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_00] because she had to

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_01] find the Japanese

[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_00] Clarendon, which was drugs and the cards that she could connect back together. But maybe just say, can you bring the Claritin? Just say, can you bring the Claritin in case my allergies do act up? And then we're, we're good. But instead she's like, my allergies are killing me. And you're like, Jen, they're just not, they're not killing you. They're not, they couldn't possibly be killing you. Um, why is this billionaire flying commercial? Why, why, why is a billionaire flying commercial? I know why we fly

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_00] commercial. I don't know why Cavendish is flying commercial even at a, at a plane with a bar. Yeah. Um, and then another, another one about Jen's appearance, unfortunately, she shows up at this bar wearing like cocktail attire, like very like skin tight dress. Like she's flying a transatlantic flight. Like I can't even imagine wearing formal wear or anything fancy to fly an eight hour flight.

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_03] I couldn't stop thinking I, about how cold she must be. Cause I'm always cold on planes. Yeah. Yeah. And she's like bare legs, bare arms. Like I was like, oh my gosh, girl.

[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. I, I, it was, if she had bare legs, she'd be pretty warm. Yeah. Yeah. I see what you did there. At one point, uh, Jen and Adam show up for this party and everyone is in a full like, you know, very nice clothes and Adam Sanders in a Hawaiian shirt. And Jen says, honey, everyone is in tuxes. You should have let me pack. Would she have packed a tuxedo or is that

[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_00] just the worst joke I've ever heard? Which is it? Uh, it's the first one. First one. Yes. Jen would have packed a tuxedo. You always pack one. You pack one just in case. Yes. You pack one just in case. And my last way, what is, is I, you cannot convince me otherwise. This movie started with the idea of Adam Sandler goes, what if there's a character named Butler and the Butler did it and reverse engineered an entire movie from it. You cannot convince me otherwise that that is what happened. He was laughing around with his, sitting around with his bros laughing.

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_00] That's a good idea. And then they did the whole movie. Well, there you go.

[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_01] That's all you go. Yeah. It's time for what the homework is where we wonder what could have been. Maybe have a good as a clarion question we still have. What are we still wondering about? That's what this segment is for. Jax, what are you still wondering about?

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_03] So to Dan's point of like, they're kind of just all here having fun. Yeah. Whatever goes. So they, they get to the bar. And when Adam Sandler and this, this made me laugh so hard when he thinks that Cavendish is doing a little indecent proposal thing with Jennifer Aniston.

[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_00] Oh, this is really funny.

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_03] If the movie just would have gone in that direction.

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_00] Oh, I'm thinking of the second one. My bad. Not that I've watched it. Not that I've watched it. No. Not that I've watched. No.

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_03] Wait, wait, wait. Oh, wait, wait. No, is that? There's a joke in this one, right? This is in this one. Yes. So this is in this one. I was like, oh gosh, am I getting confused? So yes, the indecent proposal of it all, if it just completely would have gone in that direction and we would have gotten to see her have like a sexy little tete-a-tete with Cavendish and like comedy and drama ensues. Like if it would have been indecent proposal, but with the quirky comedy.

[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_00] Two things here, Jax. One is what you're describing as a better movie, but two, I'm 90% sure. I'm 99.9% sure you just want to see Luke Evans and Jennifer Anderson in a, in a romance movie together. Am I wrong? Is that it?

[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_03] I think you're right.

[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_00] I think that's probably it.

[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_03] I think, I think that's it.

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_03] And that's fair.

[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_00] That's fair.

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_03] Their chemistry, you guys, because I agree with you, Dana. Their chemistry is off

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_00] the charts. It's unbelievable.

[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_03] I think, I think obviously Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anderson have incredible friend chemistry. Like they have, I want to watch them as a movie, but I want to watch.

[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. I think that they would be, I think that, that Sandler and Anderson would have a great, like if they were just running a goofball detective agency and it was a full spoof and then Anderson. Yeah. I see what you're saying.

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_01] Yeah.

[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_00] Uh, my, mine is

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_01] what's going to have, like what's going to happen now? Oh my God. Do they go and this is a life changing experience, right? People died. Listen, maybe we'll find this on the second one, but this is a life changing experience for both of them. Obviously now he, you know, might get detective maybe, but maybe he doesn't want to do that anymore. I don't know. Maybe this showed him that he doesn't want to

[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_00] Yeah. Maybe he just wants to have a

[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_01] for all, for all Jen, Jen Aniston. She was, she was a hairdresser who loves the murder mystery. That's right. Does maybe, maybe she strikes out on her own, you know, maybe they, they do form a detective agency. I don't know if they would do it together. He's got a good gig.

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_00] He's got a good

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_01] gig. I don't know if they would. Interesting. But I, maybe Jen Aniston becomes a private eye.

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_00] Who knows?

[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_01] Where, where in the world is Jennifer Aniston? Jennifer Aniston. Yeah. I don't know. Just throwing out ideas here. We'll see what I, maybe the second one will tell us. Yeah.

[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_00] I want to know something that we'll never find out, which is actual numbers on this movie and how it did. The way that Netflix tells you something worked is they make another one. Um, so they made another one. Clearly this, you know, Adam Sandler movies had this weird thing at the box office where the movies would be terrible and they would make bukus of money like grownups and others. Grownups too, for that matter. That I assume this movie did incredibly well for Netflix because they, they made a sequel during

[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_00] COVID. Yeah. Uh, a globe trotting murder mystery sequel during the height of COVID. So I, I just would love to know like what, what the bar is for Netflix, how many views it got. I'm fascinated because I love looking at box office numbers in general. This movie did not go to the theaters. So I would, I'm very curious, clearly huge star wattage, huge success for Netflix. I'd love to get that quantified for them.

[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_01] They always do this thing where they announced minutes to watch and I'm like, I don't know what that means. Like I understand what minutes are in their base in the basic sense. Yeah. I don't know how it when, and I know how long a movie is too, but you know, that isn't taking into consideration the amount of people who like maybe Dan would have started murder mystery and turned it off in 10 minutes. I did. Their 10 minutes are added to it. I don't know. I just, let's stop, let's stop counting things by minutes.

[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_01] We don't do it with anything else in entertainment, but Netflix is like, what if we just announced that it was a billion minutes?

[00:44:26] [SPEAKER_00] I think they got a lot of pushback by never announcing anything. And so they found a way to give you a measurable stat that doesn't mean anything. They did a great job with it. Like they could have like number of people that watched it. No, no, no, no, no. The minutes watched is all those people that just keep it on a loop. Yeah. You know that those people exist that have watched murder mystery 15, 20 times. So the minutes watch gives them the ability to give you a number that doesn't really give you any insight as to how many or one household

[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_00] watched it. They have a murder mystery watching party with 15 people there. We don't know that minutes watch thing is useless. Completely.

[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_03] You're making me want to sing seasons of love. Do you guys know that one? No.

[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_01] thousand six hundred

[00:45:12] [SPEAKER_03] minutes. Yeah. How do you measure every year?

[00:45:16] [SPEAKER_01] Five hundred times. We've watched murder mystery. Three. There's Sandman. There's Aniston. We know it. That was good.

[00:45:25] [SPEAKER_00] Lots of people. We didn't know it was called seasons of love and that's where we drew in the best we can. I apologize.

[00:45:30] [SPEAKER_01] We're not from

[00:45:30] [SPEAKER_03] where you are. You stepped right in. How do you measure a year? And we did it. Measure a

[00:45:38] [SPEAKER_01] Netflix movie watched. All right. We did it everybody. Congratulations to us. I say next week. Let's find out what happened.
