All right you ready we got to sing and we got to sing and we got to sing and we got to sing and we got to think the whole crew for the invites to stick out like we love them Ashley the whole the whole time you was there hanging out with us for such fans of those guys and they do such great work and they let us see films before they come out so we can tell you about them so let's talk about this film it is called Free Fire here's what you need to know it's 1978 it's Chicago I'm sorry it's a Boston not Chicago it's a Boston Boston Boston Boston actually Marky Marky that's an old side of but it's about a group of people who are basically meet to do an illegal drug uh guns deal an illegal weapons deal and he goes horribly wrong yes he got the people buying the guns who are from Ireland and he got the native Boston to herself in the guns and yeah so let's let's run you some some names in this thing look up a shuttle coply who you might remember from the 18 and uh try to forget that one there was there was the alien film district I believe it's district I can remember but uh Bree Larson from a big fan of already hammers in this yes uh silly and Murphy who you might remember played the scarecrow and Batman begins a lot some big names in this and some big names that you're gonna hear more from coming up if you look them up on IDMD as well district nine what's the film district nine that's right this runs right about a mile and a half I believe me it is rated R for many many many many reasons here really I can only this is I said this in my written review conveniently located for your peruzil at www dot the clubhousepodcast.com which is surprisingly is our website it really truly is yes I walked in with an expectation and it met my expectation which is a good thing if you could take the last 20 minutes of reservoir dogs and turn it into a 90 minute film this is it and that's it for me that's a compliment yes you know I I actually saw online because most of it takes place in this warehouse where the guns deal happens yes well kind of sort of happened well what's it to deal with gone and I don't know if you know this but then we leave a director allegedly designed the warehouse in Minecraft in the game or yes she definitely designed it and as I as the film went on I love the way he designed this set because there's something there for everybody it reminded me a lot if you remember the gauntlet from American gladiators yeah for the gladiator had the big turret that had the tennis balls in it and the contenders would have to run from station to station to get weapons to try to take it out yeah it was kind of like that because everything set up kind of like an obstacle course in this warehouse and so you might be listening to say but Rob you're talking about the last 20 minutes of reservoir dogs what about stuck in the middle with you take out stuck in the middle with you put in John Denver's Annie song and there's an element of parody to this so there's some good there's some good comedic moments I loved this film this film is so much fun if you can handle the violence in the language it's hilarious it's fun there's moments where you're gonna oh in certain people get shot I mean you guys think of this is a 90 minute shootout so at a certain point I was like are these people qualifying for storm trooper academy because they can't hit anything or people are getting getting shot unintentionally and then there's other weapons involved there's twists and there's turns and this is it's one of those films where if you've had a really just a mentally draining day and you just need something to watch that's just going to kind of help you decompress and smile and laugh and have a good time this is deflected what do you what do you thought well watch what what you're watching 40 minutes that's almost a record almost halfway there I mean I was just like I don't even need my watch because I'm enjoying this yeah but that you almost broke the record it didn't almost did break the record yes because at one point of friend of the show Dave Scott was with us and I just leave the original minute dude we're halfway done and he'll be like what I'm like no seriously we are well watching you from mom because you're sitting behind me no I'm sitting to the to the oh you want to know you're to my left because I was sitting on the right yeah we're in that front row and that's right you're you're to my right and my great friend Marcus from that nerd show good friend of the show we're big friends he was about to roast behind us hmm I have never seen you laugh so much in a film ever I'm not I can't I can't think about it was the perfect film for the perfect moment because as I said earlier I was I had had a very mentally draining day going into the screening but I was really I've been looking forward to this film for months and I had that expectation going in and it met that expectation and it was that perfect movies for guys who like movies you leave your brain at the door and you're going to watch stuff explode like that's what you need and that's what you get this film those exactly what it wants to be and it's exactly that well you know if you go to my ringer view www.covastplacas.com or website that's our website you know I put it near this film is not for everybody it's not if you can leave your PC mentality at the door and you want to film with some good fun adult humor and not the sexual that's what I liked about this film it has some good comedy which adds to the violence perfectly that just makes you lap in a horrible situation when you look at it and it's not that sexual you know adult humor it's that adult humor that in this film which I put in review has the perfect mix of violence and comedy absolutely absolutely perfect through this thing and it's totally hilarious in this as the dealer with using his thick accent yeah army hammer as kind of the straight man first of all yeah what appeared yes what a great beard yes he is hilarious brie Larsson is that perfect kind of foil to them that's just like oh you guys are just idiots you know and with the bullets flying and there's there's two or three other subplots running through it which I thought was the one with the beard who is driving the van with the John Denver originally oh you're talking about let me look let me look let me see if I can find that out because yes that book that that beard was pretty epic too um let me look I can't really tell because I I want us out's Jack Rainer is his name okay you would know him from he was in sing street okay great film he was in the latest version of Mick Beth he was in Transformers Age of Extinction Delivery Man but he looked a lot like Seth Rogan in that he just had that kind of I hate the world and it ends up it's where he has this come on comedic moments yes and it mixes well with the book Cassie Cassay as Martin yes there was once he was Martin he just did not expect you it's just like yeah it's some people that boosty say you would know him he was in one of your favorite films from a couple years ago I in the sky yes he was in that he's also in the brand new showtime show gorilla he also was in Rogue One and we're trying to find him I think it was you know with the shootout and it is a 90 minute shootout I mean with the setup time is about five to seven minutes and then here we go minor spoiler three two don't say the one there's no slowly second time I can't not think of a character who does not feel the pain okay okay yes you could leave it there you can leave it there so whenever you film there's always those basic rules when the shootout goes out bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang okay not in this brother after it happens in the beginning right there's points where each side just gives a tip especially the moment that's the catalyst that starts the gun bite it's gonna like oh maybe some people are just like you know what I'm care I'm standing up and walking if I get shot I get shot he don't I need to go on the other side of the room don't shoot me you know in the beginning of that you get shot but you're like yeah okay go ahead you know even though you know I've been shot three times and a great screenplay co-written by the director and Amy jump who he works with quite a bit it's just it's a well told story and I look I'm gonna say this you had that kind of look it was set in 78 correct the filming look like it was from that time I mean the look of the film in the cemetery a great feel a great feel to it and I liked how it was basically one set yep basically one base he uses every square inch of that entire world yeah there was and and I think the the that area in that warehouse had that perfect look for that film absolutely you know it was just this is the right place for something like this to happen you know and I just like I and I do like to tagline for it all guns no control yes I mean is there anything else we want to cover before we get into the final analysis on this leave your PC at the door and just have fun yes yeah the way we do the final analysis on the show we're not gonna give you thumbs up thumbs down we're not gonna give you letter grades numbers you know number of bullets or whatever because they use them all pretty much we're gonna ask two questions question number one is would you see this film again if the answer's no we're done here the answer's yes then the follow-up question is how far are you willing to go to see it again from best to worst the step-back-show runs full price in the theater twilight show Matt Nassho early morning show second run at the dollar theater actually leaving your house to go get it from red box streaming it on Netflix or waiting for it on cable don would you see this again definite how far you want to go surprisingly it gets the coveted wow look at you more price at the theater I just thought what going in and after this because they threw the will rules at the window but if you could lead no I got to every empire member this is brutal there are some adult humor and there are some real brutal scenes so if you could get through that in leave your PC at the door you want to guys not this see this film full price and this did win the people's choice award for midnight madness at the Toronto film festival it's been nominated awards at the Rotterdam film festival the market plot the film festival the British independent film awards this things out there I would definitely see this again and I don't care how you have to see this movie see this movie it is a great popcorn film see it with your friends so you can all talk about it afterwards and if you're going to pay full price I'm not going to stop you this movie is that much fun this is one that even like later on down the road if it comes on and I'm at home it might be a stop down for me this also might be one that I would own on blue ray so if I just need to do a press and maybe I've seen die hard already that day I can pop this and have a great time with it it is it's on HBO you're going to throw it on it is Ben Wheatley's free fire before you understand again we got to think ready and in the market pick Ashley the whole crew we love them their best friends for reason thank you guys so much we hope you
