We appreciate that as well, which is why we do.
Much like this one.
We welcome you to our highest list and we're just glad you're here.
My name is Rob, and I'm a little concerned about the Billy we're about to talk about.
But let's get to that in a minute, because we want to introduce you to the other people in the room.
Joining me across the desk is he tends to do each and every time we do an episode.
He's my co-host.
And a man that understands the word Exodus after Taco Bell.
He is chat.
Gross.
With my life?
That's just gross.
Also joining us for this particular episode is a friend of the show.
And a man who I'm interested to hear his opinions, especially in this.
I'm always interested to hear his opinions, but this one especially.
He is friend of the show Dave's got welcome sir.
Right now I really don't have too many opinions.
That's fair point.
That's fair point.
Also joining us is the official fact checker of this show.
And a man who does a lot of reading.
Allegedly.
You may know him as fun, don't go, but his mom and they've even done for him.
I'm going to call him Don Ford.
Welcome to the show, sir.
I just got past C spot, run.
Hey, you know what?
You're moving forward.
And that's what matters.
Normally, normally, when we do an autoons exclusive.
It's to review something and this episode is no exception to that.
In this particular episode, we are reviewing the brand new film from director Ridley Scott.
It is called Exodus, Gods and Kings.
It is based on one of the stories in the biblical book of Exodus,
dealing mainly, or doing solo, really, with the story of Moses.
Moses, in this case being played by Crusher Bell,
is we pick up the story not really at the beginning of his life,
but more in the middle of his life.
The story picks up where he is already an adult.
He's living in Pharaoh's palace with his adopted brother Ramsey's played by Joel Edgerton.
And I had no clue that was him.
Really?
Yeah.
They are dealing with their father who's getting close to the end of his life.
Pharaoh played by John Tuturo, and yes, you heard me correctly.
That's there before, Luke.
Odd choice there.
And then we go through the story of Moses,
as he is found out to be a Hebrew goes into exile.
Finds out his mission as a man of God comes back to the palace
to free his fellow Hebrew slaves that have been enslaved for 400 years
and how that progresses.
Chad, we're going to start with you.
Really Scott directing a movie about a biblical story.
Go.
Same tailor made for it for me.
Did it really?
No.
Because he seems to be really comfortable.
There are very few actors, very few directors that seem in their element
whenever they're given.
They say, hey, we are a movie studio,
make us an epic.
Go.
Really Scott can do that.
He's done it many times before.
To me, this almost felt like a natural extension of gladiator.
I kept feeling like I'm looking at scenes like whenever they go off to hunt him down.
I went to different, I went to different route with a person like that.
Well, I mean, like whenever you saw calmness come back from the front in gladiator,
it looked very similar to whenever Ramsey was going out to the front in Exodus.
It looked almost like the exact same setup.
I felt like it was in capable hands when I heard about this.
I was like, this is a pretty big, this is some lofty subject matter to tackle.
And I know that some clear dividing lines were drawn in the sand with an earlier biblical epic
this year that did not go over so well with a lot of people.
I've yet to see it.
So if I don't, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Yeah.
And so I was, you know, I think both you and I had our guard up.
You have shame.
Yeah.
And I'm a whole lot of bringing for a minute.
I mean, and let's face it as far as biblical films go.
The bar got set pretty high by Mr. Bell Gibson several years ago.
You had to pass on the crisis.
True.
However, we've had a couple of projects come and go since then.
We have, but to me, that knows things to roam it down.
Yeah.
But a paper net.
That is the bar that you have set easy.
But I was, I was, I had faith in Ridley.
I really.
No pun intended.
Yeah.
Dave.
Really Scott.
Doing the Bible.
I think a strong director like that with it is really great for this type of film.
Because because you don't want somebody in their 20s to come in and want to retell this story.
You need somebody who has seasoned, who's been seasoned, who is a veteran in this business.
And for me, I'm a big fan of them pushing Bible stories because me as a guy who doesn't like the read.
I like to see these types of movies set in screen for me.
So I can see what popular belief is.
So I can catch on to that.
Exodus was one of these films that I looked at it.
And I went, this is what I believe the story was.
Actually, this is the, the, the, the highs and lows with the, the, the bullet points that I've been told of Moses's story.
This is what I've been told.
And this type of movie I can stand behind it and enjoy Ridley Scott did a great job with this film.
Right.
Done.
Going in.
I knew you were very uptight about this.
My bar was set very low.
Yeah.
With some of these past ones that came out, like, you know, some nameless movies like Noah.
Yeah.
Um, I, my faith was because it was Ridley Scott.
That's the only thing I go this, I think might have one heck of a shot because of Ridley Scott only.
He's such a name.
He's an icon as a director.
Some of the greats like my alien and all of a sudden, which list goes on and on.
He could do it his way.
Make his interpretations no matter what the black backlash will be from certain groups and stuff.
Because this being, you know, religious there might be some, you know, backlash from by certain religious groups.
He's going to do it his way no matter what the backlash is going to be because he has the credit to do it and he did it his way.
For me, as you said, my bar was set very low going into this.
I am a man of faith.
I have been a man of faith for three quarters of my existence on this planet.
So when I go into someone's interpretation of anything biblical, I'm going to be hypocritical.
It's just, when you spend as much time as I have involved as I have been, I'm going to be hypocritical because this has been my life.
And what I was afraid was going to happen happened.
He took a story.
He had four screenwriters on this.
And none of them were listed as God, which I thought was kind of weird, but, you know, we'll go there.
He took a story about a man who became a man of faith and worked through the grace of God and he turned it into
just as he did.
That's what he turned it into, he turned it into a 300.
And I was like, hold on.
And then Dave said something that really kind of triggered something with me.
You use the word bullet points.
And I guess when you look at it through those lenses, did the bullet points of Moses's life get hit?
I'll give you that.
Unfortunately for me, what came between those bullet points was not as accurate as it could have been.
It says in the Bible that Moses never saw God's face for if he did it would kill him.
So instead, we get God as a 12 year old boy.
I'm going to correct you there.
God was not a 12 year old boy.
That was not God.
That was one of God's, he even said that I'm speaking to God's old, he paraphrasing, of course.
I'm speaking to God's lackey.
I want to speak to God.
Yeah, I've tired of talking to a mess.
It was a second.
I understand that.
However, it was a burning bush.
In the story in the Bible, the bush was God.
And the voice came from the burning bush.
There was not a boy in front of the bush talking to him.
So there was never a messenger.
He always spoke to God, God spoke to him.
But he could never see God's face because it would have killed him.
And when you're trying to market a movie based on, especially something like the Bible,
Hollywood has to leave Hollywood out of it in my personal opinion.
Because you're going to be so scrutinized.
And you know that going in, there's no way you don't know that.
There was no slave revolt.
You know, one of the most important parts of the story to me that was omitted was the walking stick.
I did notice the most important part of the story when he goes to Moses
and he says, let my people go.
Number one, he does that publicly.
In the film, it's in the middle of the night in a stable.
The point of him going to Pharaoh in front of God and everybody pun intended was a public display of
God's people aren't going to take this anymore.
And he should write the post to the stick to the ground and it turned into a serpent.
The stick also plays a very important role later on in the story because it's the stick going into the ground that
parks the sea.
So, but if there's no stick, you don't have to part of the story.
And it seemed to me that from a story standpoint,
Ridley and the screenwriters were trying to make it scientifically logical.
For instance, we do see the plagues.
The way they present in the film was a bunch of crocodiles, eight of bunch of dudes on a boat,
and their blood made the river red.
No, it was a plague.
God said, rivers red.
Wasn't the fish?
God made that happen, which killed the fish.
And it wasn't the way they portrayed the film is one plague leads into another plague.
It was because the water turned red that the frogs, no.
God just made it rain frogs.
No, no, that's how his scientific advisor was trying to explain that to us.
Exactly.
Yes, that's why he never said it in a movie.
That's why he's trying to explain that to us.
But for me, that wasn't even necessary.
These are the plagues.
God is mad.
No, no, let me give you it from a simple ten point of view.
My point of view.
Which I would never call you, sir.
No, no.
I mean, I, it's, you have to, I, I hate to say it like this.
But you have to dumb things down quite a bit.
For a more massive.
Yes, you have to admit certain details because the main point is to bring people to God.
And, and I tried to look it through those lenses too, just like with Son of God,
because I'm leaving no out of the equation, because that was a power range of movies.
Right.
Watching Son of God, my fear, and just, just like my fear is with Exodus,
I get the point of you want to bring people to faith and you want them to be curious.
But what happens when that curiosity gets into the word, and then they go, wait a minute.
That's not what the movie said.
There are people that can feel lied to on a certain level.
Okay.
Now, now that I understand that point, but I have the same issue when I want, when I watch,
all right, let's, let's take Harry Potter for, for instance.
Fair enough.
I watched every one of the Harry Potter movies, and then I went to, and I don't read books.
Everybody knows that.
I went to the unabridged audio books.
Okay.
And I burned through every one of them in the dog and moron, Steven Fry,
awesome audio book reader.
However, there were some specific details in the books that annoyed me compared to Harry Potter,
but still does not turn me away from the franchise.
The fair point.
But by the same token, you're talking a 500 page book versus one book of 66 in a book.
And even a piece, not even that whole book, just a piece of that book.
This movie is two and a half hours long.
Right.
If really wanted to fill two and a half hours, that's one thing, but you don't, nobody said,
if you're going to do Moses, it'd better be two and a half hours.
If you're going to do Moses, they're better be walking.
And this is a point I knew was going to happen.
Like I said, really Scott has secret.
It's just his interpretation.
He's not saying this is the Bible word for word.
This film was not saying that.
This is just another interpretation, another way to see it.
And that's why I said, it's going to piss.
It's going to make a lot of people mad.
A lot of people mad.
Because it's just his interpretation.
And that's always going to happen regardless.
It's not going to be this is not the Bible word for word on the film.
And never says that.
And that's interesting.
But we need to do a movie called Exodus, Gods and Kings.
Exodus is the second book of the Bible.
And you're telling me that you're going to tell the story of Moses and Pharaoh.
You are telling me that you are doing a biblical story from the Bible.
And I know that sounds redundant.
But I did that to reinforce the point.
You didn't go.
You didn't call it some dude and Egypt and a dude that ran things.
You're calling it Exodus.
You are referring to it by its biblical name.
That's, I'm not going to make a movie called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
And put Han Solo in it.
I understand.
My point to, I'm not, do I believe in God and my man?
Do I have faith?
Yes, I do.
Am I to be level that you are?
No, I am not.
But to the most of the normal people in my situation who are not.
Could read the book and know all the specific facts and everything like that.
I got most out of it from what I knew already.
Yeah, right.
I'm not going to say, I'm a man of faith that he didn't have this.
I didn't have this.
I didn't have this.
I didn't.
Okay.
It's just his thing.
He can't put everything in.
Right.
However, there are certain embellishments that don't need to happen.
And that's what I'm saying.
Like if the movie was an hour and 15 minutes long.
Okay.
You might have to add a couple things.
The movie's already two and a half.
Like what is the embellishments that you're talking about?
The slave revolt.
Okay.
It's not, that's nowhere in the story.
He parted the sea.
The sea did not sink.
I didn't see sinking.
I saw a party.
We woke up and the level of the sea was going like this.
Going down.
Well, yeah, because the flow is being pulled from a different direction.
The point was you put the staff in the ground the sea parts.
No.
See, you're going back to the charts and Heston.
I'm going to what I read.
And as much as I love the Ten Commandments.
Okay.
This was the story as I learned it.
Growing up.
Okay.
But it's not the Ten Commandments.
That's the thing.
Right.
Yeah.
And don't, there's the Ten Commandments.
It was a little screwy too.
Yeah.
But I'm talking about the Ten Commandments in the film.
Yeah.
Because the film ends.
Right after he writes.
Heat when he cheated.
Right the Commandments.
But after the Commandments are brought down.
Which is the whole other story in itself that I think could have been told.
You could have taken that slave revolt out of it.
And put in the reason why he had to write the.
Why actually why the Commandments had to be written.
Yeah.
We give you a better understanding of what they were going through.
Okay.
Now let me take the slave revolt example away from here.
Please.
I am the simple Ten Commandments in this group here.
I am.
Look.
I'm a child of God.
I need to.
I'm just like you Dave.
Big bra raw for God.
Go get God.
Okay.
But as far as the slave.
I didn't pay attention to the slave revolt.
That wasn't the main part of the story.
But see.
That's why we have this group of people in the room because we all see it from different
ways.
Now what what I got from it was.
His resolve.
His connection.
The people's connection.
The Hebrews.
400 years they stayed his slaves.
Why?
Why not just go.
I'm not going to be Hebrew anymore.
Yeah.
We're leaving this later by.
Because the way it was then.
It wasn't like you just gave up being a Hebrew.
You were born a Hebrew.
You will always be a Hebrew.
That's that was why they were in say because they were not.
They were not the Egyptians.
The record keeping was crap back then.
You could have just went.
I'm not Hebrew.
I'm.
I'm from.
I'm not Rosenberg.
I am.
I am John's.
I'm going to see this.
I got out what I wanted from the movie.
Most of it.
There was stuff that was omitted and stuff.
I did can possibly offend me.
But like I said, I love the wrath of God.
I love the stories of the wrath of God.
And it showed it.
And he even said.
Oh, it just hits.
Because little boy says,
Well, since you're not going to do it, I am, and he's all the stuff starts happening.
So that was the wrath of God.
I was bothered by the 12 year old.
There's no doubt about that.
Yeah.
But I can see your point.
I can I can deal with that fact and move along.
Speaking of that 12 year old, what do we think about the acting?
Well, that's good.
She hasn't been kind of quiet in this discussion.
I want to see if there's anything he wants to add before we get to that.
Well,
there is no way that you're going to put a.
A film out of this magnitude.
And you're either going to, you're either going to please a bunch of people.
You're going to take a lot of them off.
And as we have learned,
for the most part, people tend to need a lot of things.
Spoon fed for them.
Okay.
They have to dump it down.
They have to hollywood it up as you so to speak.
Mm-hmm.
Even when people that will hold the source material near and dear to their hearts,
they feel like they have to pander to the lowest common denominator.
Whether they need to or not, they feel like they have to.
Okay.
Just because that's the status quo now.
Fair enough.
And that's whenever used, that's when you start stepping on people's toes,
especially when it comes to anything based on religion.
That that has reared its ugly head more times than we can count.
I remember when they boycotted universal whenever they released the last
temptation of Christ back in the mid 80s.
That was early 90s.
No, it was 86.
It was 86 because it was right around the time that it was in the 90s.
I'll put money on that.
The last temptation of Christ.
The last temptation of Christ.
The last temptation of Christ.
The last temptation of Christ.
The movie.
Yeah.
The movie was at least my high school years.
I was still on high school when this thing came because I had the book.
And what I'm going to say 89 or 90.
What I remember so vividly about this was that they were they were
marketing this thing in theaters right around the same time that
E.T. was hitting home video.
And they were picking against universal.
So strongly.
988.
You're right.
988.
Yeah, that was an high school.
That they were picking against a so strongly.
If you really want to hit universal where it hurts, then you, then you,
you boycott the release of E.T.
And that's also the reason that Scorsese's poster appears in Michael Jackson's
bad video as in wanted for sacrilege.
Oh.
That's why that poster was featured because he directed that video right before
the last temptation got released.
You paid way more attention to that video than I ever did.
Well, that's, that's kind of a huge thing.
I'm a huge Michael Jackson fan as is my daughter.
Okay.
So it has been proven time and time again.
And if you want to get people out picketing stuff, that's what's going to do it.
There isn't anything based.
Religion and politics.
Absolutely.
It is a true lightning rod.
And I would hate to think that people would pick it this film.
I don't think they'll pick it this film.
Well, but there will be people that you didn't stick to the string.
There will be no letter.
There will be people that will purposely go out of the way not to see this film.
I don't know that it would be paid.
Look, you've seen fanboy protesting other things.
You've seen fanboys get bad at a shape of a comic book films because they changed the
race of a character for the love of them.
So this is something that will truly insight people they will either hate it or they
will love it.
Okay.
Now, if you just take it as pure entertainment value and if you try to take your,
if you look at it strictly through the eyes of a, I'm a religious person and they, they
change this and I don't like that.
You're never going to be satisfied with it.
But if you look at it just as a, as pure entertainment, they weren't trying to preach.
They were trying to entertain.
That's the way I try to view films like this, which is, which is why it goes back to my
point of, don't call it Exodus.
Call it an Egyptian dude in a Hebrew.
Go at it.
Well, they really, you know, as it's called, if you wouldn't listen to this guy's things,
they couldn't call it Exodus because apparently, I think MGM owns the rights to a film
called Exodus in from 1960.
And they couldn't, they couldn't call it just Exodus.
Well, but that's what I'm saying.
That's where my difficulty comes in.
Well, if you wanted to tell a story for entertainment purposes, don't put a label on it,
that tells you this is the story we're going to tell you.
Well, you didn't want to call it the 10 commandments again because they didn't want to
make it look like they were making that film.
Yeah.
And again, because it really wasn't about the story of the 10 commandments.
You don't want to call it.
I mean, and you've already had the Prince of Egypt,
even though they referred to him as the Prince of Egypt in this film.
You couldn't go and do that again because they don't want to look like they're
remaking something even though they are.
They're retelling the same story.
Okay.
But just as a form of entertainment and pure spectacle, I got quite a bit out of it.
I felt like it was a story that spoke to me in a way that,
even though I have seen the 10 commandments, CB Demil's version of it,
dozens of times.
And the Prince of Egypt, I've seen more than one occasion.
I felt like this story told, was told in a way that
was able to reach me in a way that maybe it hadn't reached me before.
Okay.
I felt like I really got something out of it.
All right.
Let's take it out of there and take it back to some of these performances.
Don, you were segway in it, so I'm going to let you start.
I liked, I did like the acting.
Of course, you got some of the icons.
Sir Ben Kingsley.
Playing, playing none.
And something we were talking about.
Ben Kingsley's everywhere right now.
I know.
And I'm good with it because I'm a big fan of this.
I can't get it out.
He had some minors, but like why is Sir Gornier weaver and stuff like that.
I was impressed with Joel Eerton on the Ramsey's role.
I thought he played a good.
I thought he would, I thought he really nailed that good.
Chris Jim Bale, of course, is Moses.
I thought he did a good job.
But I only Chris is in a good friend of the show, Gary Murray, who was in a slashing with us
also, said a good point.
He got so scraggly that he looked like Charles Manson almost.
But I kind of agree with that.
But one thing I did like as he is so clean cut when he is the Pharaoh.
But once he takes that first journey into the desert, you see him age because that journey just
fires him apart.
He was also wondering the desert for a while.
Exactly.
And it gets to see how the ageing and how just grumpy he gets.
You know, so I was impressed on that on to make up and how they kind of aged him for the situation and everything.
My biggest concern going in was Chris and Bale.
Just because I didn't see Moses when I saw him.
That's not Charles Manson.
For me because I'm Moses.
Swear to me.
That would be actually that would be God talking to him.
You just run into your microphone a little bit.
But the longer the film went, the better his performance got to me.
And I know they probably didn't film it sequentially.
But the deeper the film got, the more I was, I was kind of cool with it.
You know what I mean?
Edgerton, I thought was great.
To Toro.
Questionable casting for me there.
Unexpected casting.
I don't know if I'd say questionable.
It's just I wouldn't ever have picked him.
He thinks he's always great.
Aaron Paul.
I didn't even recognize.
No kid.
I don't know.
I've played Moses's wife.
I thought she did incredible.
Uh, that she was.
Sephora was played by Maria Valverde.
I thought she did pretty good too.
Who is Spanish, by the way.
She's born in Madrid.
I was fully expecting her to be like born in Tel Aviv or something like that.
The only casting in this film that made me go.
Was.
Sigourney Weaver.
Yeah.
That was wife.
The only person in the entire film without an accent.
She just played it straight.
It was like.
It was like.
Wallburg and Transformers really.
Um, but that's why she.
And a true riddle.
It's got a lot.
Like one of the originals.
Riddle.
He's got a lot.
She has like three lines in the whole film.
She felt like she was wasted.
It was.
Just completely wasted.
It was like she called him.
It was like, hey, Riddle.
You got anything for me.
And he was like, well, I can put you in this exit as a movie.
And she's like, whatever.
That's what it felt like.
It was like, why are you here?
What is your purpose?
What?
Like the priestess lady.
She's doing the the profit sign and whatever.
I can roll with that.
But you like Ben Kingsley had a role.
You don't.
Real minor.
Extremely minor role.
No, don't know.
She's one of your personal things.
Yeah.
I just.
It was just weird to me.
I know.
That's all she has.
I agree with that.
Dave.
Performances.
Christian Bell was fantastic.
And I really enjoyed him.
Yes.
I was a little concerned with the Batman connection there.
But Joel Edgerton.
He.
So good.
Joel Edgerton a guy that's in one of my favorite movies.
I believe from 2012 called Warrior.
That was my favorite movie to hear that year.
I still haven't seen it.
Great film.
And for those of you for God, he did play the young on Coloan in the pre case.
And the star was pretty cool.
Thank you for that.
By the way, that.
Go ahead, sir.
If you're looking for a point of reference.
You had to remind me of Aaron Paul at the end.
And when you said Joshua, I went, I had to actually sit there and think of the entire cast to go through and find Joshua.
I don't know.
What do you realize?
It's like, it's Aaron Paul.
It's Aaron Paul.
Yeah.
Ben Kingsley.
Love.
Anything.
Ben Kingsley does.
And Jon Certero.
Yes.
I was thinking sector 7G of.
Trying to warmers.
But still.
You had to look to see him as.
See him.
Right off the bat.
Well, I look at him.
I'm like, surely.
That's not who I think it is.
You turned to me.
Right in the middle of the movie.
And you said, that's Jon Certero.
I don't know what.
Ah.
And it took me a minute.
But I actually got it.
But.
Everybody was fantastic in this film.
There was.
I had no.
I have nothing bad to say about this film.
I thought it was great.
And not the top movie of the year.
I'm not going to say that.
But it really was a good story.
I enjoyed it.
Like I said, I've got to perform.
He surprised me.
Vale really surprised me.
As did Joel Ederton.
I mean, they, you know, they could really.
If they're on screen chemistry together.
Yeah.
And they could have easily camped this up.
And, you know, where's your god down?
Yeah.
Where's your Messiah now?
See.
But they, you know, they kept it grounded.
And you really felt bad whenever they had to break company.
You really felt for them.
It's like, I wish that ran.
And you could see that they felt for each other.
Yeah.
They did.
They didn't want to see it go down this way.
But, you know, Ramsey just felt like he had no choice in the matter.
Fluent power corrupts absolutely.
Uh-huh.
And God knows his mom wasn't going to let him just look the other way.
And turn a blind eye to it.
I want him dead.
She was pretty.
We edit her out of this.
Really.
One thing I want to say is I like the look of the film.
Well, I thought you look historically correct, considering, you know, Egypt and that's prime and all that.
And all the construction and it's glory, I thought.
Have you ever ever been there?
Egypt?
Yeah.
No.
Am I mind?
Really?
I have actually been there.
That's amazing.
I walked the pilgrimage.
I've been to Israel.
I've been to Egypt.
And I can tell you, it brought back some, some memories.
Yeah.
I mean, like, I felt like I could smell what they were smelling.
Whenever he said, you'll get used to the smell.
The whole time I was in you.
You don't.
You really don't.
All right.
But let's get to the final analysis then.
There's unless there's anything else you guys want to add.
No.
The way we do the final analysis on the show.
We don't give you thumbs up thumbs down.
We don't give you letter grades.
We don't give you numbers.
You're our empire.
You're better than that.
It's a two-prone question.
Question number one is, would you see this film again?
If the answer is no, then we're done here.
The answer is yes.
How would you see this game?
Would you pay for price?
Twilight and Matt and Nate early morning.
Second run.
Red box netflix.
Cable broadcast television.
Dave, we're going to start with you.
Would you see this film again?
I'm probably going to download it on iTunes just to see it at home.
Because for me, when I see a movie in a theater,
I don't need to feel the need to go back to it.
Which we saw in 3D and the 3D was kind of cool.
I don't know the 3D made enough of a difference.
No.
I don't think it did.
3D did get a little bit to get to get you.
So this is a two solid 2D film.
Yeah.
You do not need to see this movie in 3D.
I thought the 3D was kind of a...
Don't be atmos.
Yeah, don't be atmos.
Bring it on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is a sound.
3D.
It took a little bit to get used to seeing that much of Christian bail right up front.
I mean, we were in what the third row.
I mean, it was way too close.
And I was seeing way too much of Christian bails.
It's in whatever.
Pits and boards.
So you would do this as a download.
And I too.
And I too.
Exactly.
Chad.
Which is the film again.
I would see it again, but I wouldn't pay top dollar for you.
How would you see it again?
Um.
The like the twilight.
Okay.
So you would see it theatrically.
I think I would.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because you know, I enjoy movies that just bombard you with spectacle.
This is kind of a thing I like.
Um, first off, we were lucky to see this in 3D.
And we got to think our friends allied.
Absolutely.
Thank you guys for letting us see this.
Our best friends in the whole world.
They are.
Um.
I would see this again on something like HBO.
But I will recommend it as a matinee in the theaters.
I'm not surprised you.
I would see this film again.
However.
I would like to see it in an atmosphere.
Uh, David, I go to the same church.
That's right.
We attended the same church together.
I would like to watch this with my community group.
My small group within the church that wouldn't meet outside the church for Bible studies and things like that.
That is a great thing.
I would like to see this with with people of all levels of faith.
Just to see how it's inter just like we did here with people that are on all different levels of faith.
To just to see how it's seen through different lenses.
And how would you recommend it to the Empire outside?
If you're hanging out and you got nothing going on.
Check it out.
You say HBO.
Um.
Or Dollier.
I think it'd be kind of cool to see it theatrically.
So you say Dollier.
Especially if they're going to show it in the Dolby atmosphere.
I think that would be really a great way to see it.
So would you recommend it as a doll or a daytime matinee?
Daytime matinee.
Well, they religious subject matter.
Make this the go to Christmas movie.
Sure you think.
No.
You don't think so.
You don't think so.
If you're going to put it in a religious context, it would be more of a spring movie because
it deals with Passover in a certain way.
Right.
Because that's something you should show.
The Tink of Mammoth on TV.
Right.
I'm just curious.
Whether or not you think that might.
No.
I don't think this would.
I mean, people would probably go.
But I think this might have been better served to be released in the spring around the
Passover because it deals with that time.
But I don't know that Oscar season's why they did it.
Well, yeah.
We don't want to do that.
I'm just saying.
Ideally.
But yeah.
I think it would be a good way out.
Anything else you could jump on on ad?
This may be the longest.
I tuned to exclusive.
We've ever done.
I.
Again, I reiterate.
The 3D was totally unnecessary.
I agree.
I agree.
I agree.
It was nice to see it that way.
Yeah.
But was necessary.
No.
It didn't need 3D.
I max.
Yeah.
I max.
I see it.
See it.
But don't see it.
Don't pay the charge.
I usually get annoyed by the 3D because it glasses.
And the way so much after a certain amount of time.
I have to take them off.
This wasn't that bad.
Two hours, 20 minutes.
I could actually keep my face the entire time.
Which says something.
And it's a fairly well-paced two and a half hours.
I will say that.
That's right.
One point I looked up.
I was like, oh, what a halfway point.
Okay.
You know.
All right.
