Blade 2 with Adante Watts

Bringing a blade to a gunfight, it's Wesley Snipes in a movie where the vampires have vampires and the muscles have muscles. But the one thing we're all dying to know... Could Pat beat up Wesley Snipes? This week, with Adante Watts!

Below is a rough automated transcript of the episode. We are working on making this better:

I'm not going to make any jokes because Pat I can shut it off. evolving gag for now I'm going to be mean to PAT about being commenting on that making a joke is like you trying to make a joke audio you want me to punch him I mean I'm in the same room with him I can do it emotionally everyday so who we got on the show today we have a special guest adante Watts welcome adante filmmaker you have your own production company I I will I didn't actually meet a. Hey that we were in the same room but I saw a Dante's film catch at the film festival yeah in Atlanta last summer and it was so good. They tell everyone about cash but I've been working out for probably going on the last 2 years play squares about a black teen that discovers that he has superpowers in a life-or-death encounter with a police officer so you know it's got some drama some sci-fi and they're just trying to mix genres end write about something I care about sounds great really good would you like to tell the listeners where they can find this video yes you can Follow The Sounds Instagram page and his catch. Film and in the bio of that Instagram page you'll find a link that you can click to watch the full 23 minutes short on a Roku yeah 23 minutes guys Muscle Maker let me tell you a tremendous amount to do congratulations on that thank you audio most of my experiences is work on shoes with Ash and stuff and then ever done a couple issues Sans animation stuff like every second I get sunscreen is hours for absolutely I'm not to say that it is good your main actor he's really good he's so good we found him on Instagram because we were trying to cast for the lead role and none of the people that we had audio my producer and his wife Uno they didn't they were the right fit I'll say that and you know my producing his wife they they went on Instagram others like search the hashtag and then we're just looking through people's profiles but then they made me be the one to message him are like hay I'm really uncomfortable but okay the cast in general is is good your villain is unsettling audio audio the one police officer acting is it is great I really enjoyed you heard it here first got a stamp of approval is there an is there a like a Tinder for actors can you can you like just have a list of actors that when you're casting people well actually it's funny how you say that because my producer he made this this program called roll call and it says it's a tender for Productions in general but you liking you make your your you know your asset page of like everything that you had to offer so like if you're offering yourself as an actor you have a car that you want to offer or like clothing or furniture and then one Productions go in there list all the criteria that they're looking for in a sec I'm looking for a car that this make and model are looking for an actor this this age this race and then it pulls back all of those all those results and then you can reach out to those people about those assets that's a very cool at but I don't know if I like calling it a Tinder for actors unless it up throw in like it audio audio audio we're watching blame 2 play harder play the sequel the one that came out oh yeah so this is going to be all matric see it's going to be great yeah all Matrix all the time oh yeah oh yeah Beyblade had that play Headlights black trench coat in electronic rave music before they did it first audio with a ski most maximum song of annoying we actually listen to that song a lot terrified me as a child when were in the first movie I remember I just I have this very vivid memory I like watching a movie and then the Blood Rave started happening and I just like ever-so-slightly kept pinching away from the TV what was scarier the blood or the electronics I mean and then they're all like covered in blood and have fangs are out and stuff the scariest part of that movie is is any movie in my house was if something even remotely sexual came on the screen and the Blood Rave my parents my mom anytime they weren't like Ono like awkward my mom was like leaned into the awkward you don't want that trust me do you realize what she was like I Met Your Dad audio that's going to be a few of my girls get older and they're watching movies the PG-13 or R Variety or anything like that whatever whatever this is Scrooge's sister every all those times those with Echo brat don't you be looking at that audio please be my mom just couldn't even handle anything like that and I told my dad to watch Zombieland recently and he was like yeah we couldn't get through it you know we can watch too much of it cuz your mom wasn't into it she was like Slams on the brakes and goes through the windshield like I just I couldn't watch it and I was like so the opening credits you couldn't get to it opening with my parents little brother and he puts his like ballsack all over the drums I have the one of the best of the best one that was about Sons by proxy where I was present but I didn't have to feel any of the shame or embarrassment because it was my in-laws try to get the year it came out cuz I want to pay tuition I want to look up what no we don't but I don't even bother me that point in time it was 2013 7 years ago I was 7 years ago so my brother-in-law was 24 the time 324 and he's with his whole family and we all went to Sea Wolf of Wall Street in the theater MDA what's the next to his mom and dad opening scene where Leo is like doing cocaine out of a audio I mean the whole movie that whole movie top to bottom I can't imagine doing that with your parents because I heard Jonah Hill like masturbates and you see like everything and I'm like nah I'm good I do not remember that part I don't remember that OK Google is when it's at the party and yeah so I guess I saw that my dad so that was awkward Play Welcome to the show. what would a Pharisee movie I watched 365 dni with my mom audio what is that that is the the super racing movie that is on Netflix currently and so I think it was originally polish but it's just audio polish what's the whistle audio is your mom likes or what yeah I know it was fine it was just I don't think either of us knew what we were getting into before it started and was that a situation or neither one of you wanted to be the one who is too uncool to turn it off film chicken audio audio no I'm not uncomfortable are you uncomfortable audio the first came out Leo DiCaprio or the original boyo like the actual I think so cuz I remember and it wasn't the Leonardo DiCaprio won and like the acting was terrible audio I feel like there was an original stop production of Titanic PBS how to say are you sure it wasn't the Poseidon Adventure Walgreens cream audio anyway play to production Things director Guillermo del Toro other other production e things Tippett Studio special effects Phil tickets favorite spot mogai please special effects Guru digital special effects for the know does a roller coaster yeah I love his practical effects I'm not familiar with his CG effects so maybe this is why he we got a concept art Timothy Bradstreet and Mike mignola Hellboy South feel like this crew does hangs out Ron Perlman in this movie to Ron perlman's in it comic book artists to do art design cuz blade was a comic in the Marvel Comics even though we just did our all the Marvel's episode did MC use them to you but guessing game time money did it cost go for Quest 63 million 60 when did it come out I II III 75 audio audio she said she's back in town who is 68-54 how much did it make opening weekend opening 1992 audio 12 is a little more accurate you can't you can't double the gas access 30 I think it made 2132 wow which is like good for you ask but they didn't quite make their money back opening weekend but I think I did pretty well overall worldwide gross what would you guys think no I didn't I didn't timeline worldwide I think I'm going to Sam 155 Wesley that budget in the prophets there so I think people audio the third one has Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds much like the third Matrix we don't mention third blade we might have never done I want to do it I don't want to talk about it is the it is a beautiful like I don't I don't remember a whole lot about I remember Ryan Reynolds I remember vampire dogs apparently people are saying like at anyone that I've heard talk about it says that it was not a good movie but I don't remember that much about it to accurately assess that it is Ryan Reynolds at his most Ryan Reynolds before I knew who he was I think there is at least one plot point in this movie that hints at the mess of the third one well that I'm excited to talk about in the post wrap up but just keep on the lookout something in the plot you're going to go wait what audio prediction ahead of time that there's going to be a couple of things that we go wait what of course Wesley Snipes as blade audio Leonor Varela as what else is she pregnant I'll have to Google it I was just going to read these real quick Norman Reedus scud romporama at the Nazi guy audio there's a character named Snowman play by Donnie Yen who is also the fight choreographer anime my one and only really fun actor Factory the villain that we almost got but didn't get because they were going to try and get Tim Curry to be the villain of this movie audio so you when you watch it you can imagine audio are we get I can't imagine how much better it would have been taken care of audio I regret Thomas kretschmann Eli damaskinos where is Eli always the villain is people really like that stuff not in Denzel Washington Book of Eli audio this is at Wesley Snipes favorite of the Blade movies we'll see if please be at the tastemaker that we all believe he is Del Toro says that Snipes new blade better than anyone else in the franchise and that he's basically just blade on Sat like you Wright flyer I think they would do this and then he does the thing that we're doing what is Hina is he in the third movie to do we should do it because there's a whole LML let's go back and do it behind the scenes wait there's something something messier than it was way Messi or behind the scenes I promise okay I have I have only three more facts and this one shocked me they made some of the characters blood so that the movie could get an R rating oh wow so he was like NC-17 for something audio oh yeah okay yeah then opens up crazy audio I mean are there something there is that having it be real looking blood made it so violent that it would not even wow what is a problem for the Rays isn't that why would like Kill Bill with a fight with a Crazy 88 they made it black and white cuz all the blood would have been a problem for them otherwise I think that might have passed out Islam knife knife blading vinyl siding let's see what else what else was fine oh actually only have one of their goodvac here 30 members of the cast and crew were temporarily blinded during the at UV light vampire autopsy I oh my God keep a lookout for that like the actors oh my god wow how would you know how long we were blinded or that's all I had was temporarily I assume probably for a few hours or something I doubt that they are you I can assure you somebody walked away with lasting sunburned eyes oh my God I can see the lawyer now like coffee them something and they cash it to see they can see now they're fine they're fine now it does not matter damage oh my God legitimately horrified by that fact if you could see Sam's face right now why was the safety captain on my past yet manager about my past jobs I never f***** up that bad I'm thinking of a pirate now with like a crosswalk vest on I mean when we had earthquake gel I did have to wear a vest it was not fashionable but also did not look like was it also Talk Like a Pirate Day but you don't speak or die from I want you to walk the plank look both ways before you walk the plank missed opportunity CorrLinks yes all right that it that I have that was that was the movie the movie fun facts I was mostly mostly excited to know that there was a new blade movie in the works I think MCU yeah it like a reboot audio yes apparently mahershala ali won his Oscar for supporting actor and immediately called Kevin feige and whatever I want to be blade audio Oscar for but he was also in he was Prowler from spider verse audio and he was also cottonmouth in Luke Cage which he is he's so good audio no no you like the main villain for the first half of the season and then they like switch it out there's a scene with him in that it's just so staging of it the music everything is so fun very excited about MCU blade I have no idea what that's going to be like amazing does that mean they're just they're introducing vampires into the MCU the movie that got pushed back does it matter Morpheus Morpheus audio it's really funny I said that cuz I was just cuz it we're doing blade I'd like whatever happened to that Morpheus movie The Trailer came out and everything and then everything else one day we'll get all of the movies again the heights of the only movie that I was excited about Collier and it got pushed back in now I just want to curl up in a ball and cry every time I think about lin-manuel Miranda Musical audio I directed crazy Rich Asians he is direct just looks great did they get the big debate on it or is it just like yeah because it was I was supposed to be later this year cuz it was summer and then they pushed back the ball and now it's 20 21 because of that damn road tenant yeah they finally release date on it for this August which I thought article about that and set an alarm being like to see him being a purist and being like I will only release it in the theater you know that's exactly how very generous words Tre the whole thing is very optimistic cuz it's like I mean you're pushing back in the hopes that at that point you know what is like no way of knowing definitely we are sitting here with my finger trial memories who has seen this movie I have not you haven't ye audio audio well Pat share your youthful stories of the blade to I love the blade of the Play-Doh movie audio audio ecology is the study of the blade elegie thank you in the study of biology you'll find conflicting ideologies weather Blade 2 or blade one is better what's the word I'm looking for all respected Alex angry that Blade Trinity is not is the worst of the three but they do have heated debates over the merits of Uno versus Blade to the blade in is the sharpening Shark Tank that's so good are we doing predictions I predict it will be fun action I will predict Cuzzo to you are both salmon a shirt black clothing also like techno Gothic the weather like techno Gothic cool fights because it's 02 I'm going to go on a little longer and say there's going to be some CGI brightness that might look a little like a rubber Manny rubber man first Harry Potter felt like there is no there is no way to that finger does not like John talking about like that problem too is sometimes or like someone to do a flip and they go way too fast I'm saying like the display it doesn't look natural like a body flat gravity CICS but I think I'll know it's going to be good I predict so many tough guy clips I like talking to you cuz this is so there's a lot we see in front of spontaneous lifx damn put in this movie we get we're going to get a little peek tivy upper echelons of the Vampire Nation super high-level bad at the escalation right words like we had this like high-level vampire we fought in the first ones Stephen Dorff he is like a Papillon compared to these ones were talking to now and he was like the put on patrol there's going to be so many like it's full-blown toxic masculinity but just so many tough guy tough guy jibs and Jabs no verbal like sparring back ice skating uphill though it's hard to be audio Wilson has a lot of good quips okay the the one fact I didn't share is that Guillermo del Toro what's very upset a little or a lot of the dialogue in this movie ride it so there's going to be some real real winners of dialogue blackout 4 but I predict inet enjoyment I feel time but then that's going to be Mazda experience yes movie will yield a positive experience case Pattinson that positive audio audio I think we're going to like it if you know you've all seen the first blade movie so it's like ramped up a little bit alright okay well I haven't seen it so I know nothing but when we watched blade 1 on the podcast like I guess it must have been like over a year ago 2 years ago I don't know but I absolutely loved it I have never seen blade before and was so into it and I remember at the end of that episode being like I just want to go watch Blade 2 now and I didn't so I was your waiter yes finally I get to watch it I want to be like 50 no blade was actually just 6 episodes ago but no I can think of that but I predict like you said a lot of Hot Topic clothing . by the way boys and girls Hot Topic used to actually sell soft-close not close it was a very different Place full of stud muffin weather in Toronto have you been to a Hot Topic lately it is not gothic clothing anymore it's all like Rick and Morty s*** fencers - the sex toys exactly anyway are there still Spencer's audio what size going to say not after this anymore I don't know I also predict electronic music more Crystal Method and also really scared that there's going to be terrible CG like there was at the end of Blade one so I'm hoping that not the case but Pat hasn't really made me feel better about that audio February 24th 2018 was going to be your guys's blade episode audio all right audio I am also going to go I'm also concerned about the CD that's going to be in this movie because Tippett Studios is not known for 3 at least I don't think they were at this time and it's 3 years after terrible CGI I also like the Matrix came out audio 99 was the first one estimated a good thing they were the first people to do a good thing and so 99 is still a p terrible CGI and then this is like chest after the after the hum so chameleon better is it a bad cuz the CG in the sneak Matrix equals was worse than like the first one I know you think it's going to be worse out now no I don't think this is going to be I'm saying in the mageblade go back and watch those fights like that with all this agent Smith or whatever there's everyone that's in it's bad like they take a big step backwards this is just a bunch of guys who kind of look like agent Smith that's wound now I'm on a whole side track in my head I was going to be like I think it's going to be great but with weird CG but now I'm like how heavy did they lean into the CG because it might be like we leave so hard on this audio audio I feel like like I said like those are going to be some fight where you be like up right there that you can see it but I don't think there's going to be anything is blatant it like at the first one like the floating blood silver tornado okay because as you reminded me that people's faces open up in this one audio Ruby Tuesday yeah I remember but I don't remember it lateral distal Toro which is in its like a kind of horse I feel like he's going to eat after working out right fingers crossed for Prosthetics but I really want the blade one-liners is Wesley Snipes is just a joy to watch be mean to people audio audio also tell us why you brought it to the table cuz it's due audio because I'm the youngest one here so there's not a lot of movies that I've seen better I mean like no disrespect or anything I'm just like do something from my childhood that I that I did have a vivid memory of and so it was between end up being between blade and The Last Airbender it's hot. You guys did that and that was only because I just wanted to spend an hour or s*** talking that movie but no I ate it was going to be between blade and spawn yeah I was like I was when I was feeling more blade and been beside Blade 2 and I realize that in the trilogy play two is just a blank spot for me I don't remember anything about this movie and the green blood but or like watching it and and you're like remembering 10 seconds before it happens more like oh yeah 5 feet away from me in this box over here are the the original run first like 30 issues a spawn so I guess we'll have you back for at least three I'm I'm down I'm here to be fair also adante this podcast was started because I hadn't seen a lot of movies at our old photos look like we need to fix that feel better about not being most of those movie it was like it was like it wasn't that I hadn't seen most it was most of the ones I've seen you guys already did so I was like all right yeah so the ones that were left over I was like I don't know probably weather leftover audio prediction why is I I mean in line with you guys as far as worrying about the CG because the more I think about it the less I actually remember parts were received I have a pretty good feeling about about the face opening up I think that's going to be fine I definitely see some some some masculinity battles because I specifically remember that Ron perlman's character had an issue with blade from the beginning so that's like a running things are out the whole movie so there's going to be a lot of measuring contests as of War measuring cup measuring cup but yeah I think I think I think like like you said I think it's going to be over captain on audio catching internet I'm going to I'm going to come on the next one I'm going to have the shirt audio all right do I think this will be alike cinematically great movie probably not will it be like this gorgeous little time capsule of what 2002 was like absolutely and it will be a very uncomfortable so enjoyable look into the past stupid little goth kid that I used to be so yeah cuz your 2002 was blade audio seeing reflections of my past self and also just secretly kind of also love it audio I was 7 in 2002 turn off the podcasts temperature in 30 last year right now finally you start to have back pain and knee pain and on that high note we're going to pause the recording and go watch blade to join us when you come back adante is a singer to do it. oh God play comedian tell us a joke podcasting is unpaid audio acapella videos I was just doing the my dad might be off I was going to suggest that we just do that then because nuts audio the fights were the best thing happening in this movie I think Reed saver. Towing it's on okay you should have done that didn't intentionally instead of Mortal Kombat audio The Blaze how do you say blade four syllables audio audio could have done something with it the way it's fonts I hate the movies do and gotten away with it though is when they take the sequel number and put it up in like the X exponent audio a little too up and I guess or seem like vampires squared in this you know like like the vampires vampires I mean that's a long f****** logic walk but it's the closest I've seen where we can maybe theoretically get away with that equals mc squared isn't that your pet peeve I think I don't like it yeah right thing I can do really make an exception I could be a very long convoluted very thin logical argument work this movie had wanted to do it they could have gotten away with it cuz we had vampire vampires why we did buffalo buffalo I would like to say Buffy Buffy audio which would also vampire Hunter Hunter I feel like Cube 2 though would have been that really could have gotten away with that Cube Square what is the third one SQL cube is already squared what's a cube squared twice I'm sorry. but hey I fell in that glare audio audio Batman fight scenes play Baby boss fight Sans magical Vegas legit that last fight scene was the birth of the the stop motion 3D spin around Mortal Kombat fatality scene audio the fights were good and it wasn't as bad but you could still tile it was the Airborne stuff into their getting thrown across the room I know it's a little bit of it in the the light fight yeah in front of it obvious oh yeah they were they were real people it was like they just copied the at the Spider-Man flip and just paste it into blade I love Anna scene your man shot first you broke into our secret hideout assassins audio I like the fact that he's like you shot first he's like okay yeah I'll put my weapon down like yeah that's my job dementia the last fight in as we were watching it we did he he guess I did my spoiler alert for the end of the episode but I always do I tweet a screenshot adante and see if people can guess the film and Main are guested on Twitter and he said at the time he saw this in theaters and at the time it was the best comic book adaptation Stanley even credits it with launching the era of comic book movies and I feel like you can really see in the ending fight like where you can see roots of the MCU like happening like the fight style and everything Toyota shot selection and the variety of like you know there's times where he CG and there's times where he's not and it's the CJ's not quite a hundred percent there yet you can see them being like oh look at this crazy s*** we can do if we replace him with CG for a couple of shots it's really interesting to see you like the progression now you know you can see the fruits of that filmmaking Jack Maynard though but I do believe she only guest blade 1 oh but what was the score the blood cocaine the blowcaine that I divided called and Brett just canceled audio final fight did feel very like visceral and real and raw with your like which Marvel did a really good job of of it making it feel like is the fight taking place in the space that is set in with a canoe a lot of times a movie like these it's just there's a set-piece and they're fighting but they're not interacting with audio the first one is like that where you're like I'm not believing any of this because AccuWeather radar and then if the real one what do they do with the real one he just like super powerful and he like cut off his head reforms like or something I don't know this will be a security threat to after-the-fact or was watching it this one we just watched of the three is the only of the play movies that they did not reshoot the climax I had to reshoot in 1 in Canadian like wait that was the better ending will this one you can find it online also this one I feel like most of the climax they didn't shoot it was it was speaking to here well I mean there was I feel like the final fight I don't know what to me I thought it looks like less CG than the other fights the fight when he's fighting the suit people in front of the light like like half the time that's just I think it was a I think the thing that they had going for them was that it even though the CG stood out which it probably look great at the time it was pretty still like you know if he gets thrown into a CG him thrown into a wall and then he'll and but then I'll be real him on his when did it real well they did that a few times and he had like a jump attack that he did everything CG in the air and then like real real fists at the end audio backing up and we can do like a little walk through here did anyone else not like the opening voice over yeah I felt very cheesy forget everything you know vampires are real I feel like the things like no that much but it's going to become apparent very quickly who played his you know what you got to know this vampires involve and you can show even if you're strapped for time you could be like on the phone you can have him like in his car on the phone Wizkid the beginning like oh yeah it's waiting Manny's dad he's been there's like no it's not I know it's a lie and they know where he is I think he's he's going to get the vampires and he's looking for Whistler it's like they didn't want you to they didn't they taste like if if you see this movie this is the first one there is no blade 1 speed on this one so don't worry about the price even though he wasn't did you or did you guys watch on cuz I watched on Amazon Prime and it has a it has like a like an actual title blood hunt go back to blood hunt how to watch on Xfinity audio and then just stopped like the end of the movie and I was like lettuce and I and get a refund best movies on Amazon Prime it says Blade 2 : bloodhunt and I was like I've never heard this title in my life yeah I just said Blade 2 for me I watched John Apple TV Apple streaming I guess Isis obscure new app called HBO Max how do you spell Max is that Russian I was going to say the bus going audio when do blood Hunt is also on Google Play it's not that's not the name of the movie so weird maybe it's like a remastered version or something I mean isn't every blade of blood hunt but yours are so I don't know really weird it's not on the IMs is a real Berenstain Bears I can see yes we had no subtitle I will not believe that Berenstein Berenstain Bear thinks f***** me up cuz I would have swore up and down I would have bet my yes like you can lead a blade to my neck like spell like what is the proper name of these f****** bears and if you get it wrong. I'm like how it's Berenstein Frankenstein Dante's too young for this Berenstein Berenstain we're in the same boat I was very unsubtle by as I don't like thinking about it I do but like the the tough-guy quips how about some tough guy quiz Whistler Whistler was was on it audio audio like his immediate animosity the scud was like why he's been helping gray dress code because he can smell the rat and it could smoke a that's what it was I didn't remember a lot about this movie but the second the sky was on screen audio childhood Brett had the same thought adult Bratz is having right now what is the name of the bad guy of girls popping a bad guy love the Powerpuff Gir Buddy Story right before we jumped on the podcast Brett was reciting the entirety of the opening of Powerpuff Girls Lowe's where in fact the ingredients to create the perfect little girls okay go ahead girls still to this day creepiest villain Google camera know him him deeply problematic yeah I don't remember this MSDS good is the gay Lobster that wears a scarf but he is designed to look like demonic dear Craig watch implanting things in childhood brain did you just say dear Greg instead of your guy beer Craig Craig McCracken Craig box Craig is the bot that we use is like a backup recording of our audio audio audio we all the world is over overrun by the zombie apocalypse address will continue on roommates listening the humans are dead I was right about the the mouse yeah yeah yeah and they were like sometimes prosthetic and sometimes CG but they were like great either way is during the autopsy scene Rihanna's didn't look like it could have blinded anyone but I don't know audio what you think is one of those light grenades or was it the first autopsy scene when they were going to try to inject that guy with stuff very busy getting when the the hammer guy the one in the kitchen and he hit him with the hammer and then his head popped up and it like it did something I don't know but I felt like it was a prosthetic them to Okay so way that it like clothes back in yeah so cool but so yeah is very good Danny has the hammer white Hammer guy what's his name lighthammer odhani yen what the f*** they didn't give him any lines like at all he's like pointing at them just like like you like if that was you m*********** audio yes and in audio he's one with the force the Force is with him his fight his fight choreography I felt it all through everything was so yeah I think he was he was a choreographer he was the lead choreographer yeah it's so good looking he's I like his I enjoyed everything he did there's a lot to get bigger as many good Linesville nobody that were maybe more visual when you called no I know I really like his endearing smile when they're at the club Ben Rinehart when he was Mamie eyes and I like how he got his arms crossed and his under his arm as I got peas got you two looks over and he's just a big smile on his face like yeah motherfuker audio when he's being a jerk to scad what during the autopsy audio audio in his moment kind of at the Midway point with the raisins like you do not know who you're f****** with so what okay will before we get to like plot hole things that you were talking about Brett because I'm curious what you're like what the f*** that is make any sense moment was but also for me that was the moment you chose to make the blood green how does not when the dude's back is like Field open and stuff like but it at that was the moment that was too much for it to be red but is it a felt like it if you if you hadn't told me about the blood thing I asking and I think when I originally watch that I just assumed it was a o he's an old vampire he's got porcelain skin so yeah of course his blood is green why wouldn't it be I don't remember I feel like Belpre doesn't hate me if it wasn't her that said that something about people born is vampires their blood is a different color because they don't have any of the hemoglobin or whatever that hello vampire and her blood audio also the guy's blood turn from green to blue audio they ran out of the grave of the light hit it right in our blood blue in our veins yeah I remember that I guess not your blood's not read a Sci-Fi TV at is the vampire headquarters is also the headquarters of the slowest closing doors ever white drawbridge the drawbridge door the elevator doors I was like all right I will say so I just wood frog and it was so cool to see this boot cuz the whole thing takes place in Prague I've been to some of the places in this movie I was like holy s*** I recognize that and I recognize this and then in the vampire layer in the background like on the wall they had like a version of the astronomical clock which prague-prague is like famous or it's like the Old Clock the super super old it still works which is not but I thought it was like kind of neat like the little set design touches like for some reason people in progress speaking English when they die I mean I was not in frog not a frog you were very very little it's checks I know how I can order a beer and check and then sent you cuz I know I didn't learn anything that I tried how do you say one beer please and thank you and that's it that's all you need is awesome one beer please thank you maybe you were putting off the wrong vibe in Prague like when me and Sam went to France and she was like I'm going to speak France French and then everybody was like nearing at her and I was like yo I don't speak French and everyone's like whatever you know what I mean they were nice yeah they were nice in like the touristy area but then we like went up into Walmart audio and the Americans we are just be placed. your accent actually pretty good there is an unsaved Tarzana 4 years of French and this is what I am right ear and all the French listeners are like who you f*** that they're all staring at you cast members of beautiful heart art history like stuff architecture Prague I couldn't tell you one of those things I can't remember much of bars though Prague is the home of Luca my favorite artist I want to go so bad Prague Oklahoma fragua speaking of if this movie takes place there how is his lair also there I assume that they travel I was wondering how they when they first came they got a helicopter and they went and then like I guess then what was the next day they were back I don't know now I think I think Whistler was in Prague after Whistler so they moved him to Prague it would eventually blade would find them in Prague what did they like go back to their like lair audio blades that are in projects He has all of this insane Hi-Tech gears in Twilight play don't ask how stuff gets paid for it movie he just has multiple layers are all the vampires they like and benefits Valerie in movies right is like I would love to do a comic or book or show it's like HR henchman resources and it's like Venture Brothers weather to do a deeper dive on that I'm talking about that while they were sticking the cameras all around the nightclub and that is not high enough for someone not to notice or like him I guess the house of pain and people are like being like like-for-like blade base right is like what like these massive massive like guns assault weapons and no no one questions and until they started shooting and then everyone starts running what was your plot what the f*** it was less of what the fight because they win really out of there way to explain it Then I then I remembered it being but there were several other more what the f*** went it was just the fact that Whistler is back they made a real big thing of that I wrote it down I do not like that the cheapest it did it cheapens there's no wait anymore cuz I don't remember it was a flashback supposed to be he's definitely that audio is it cool no heat what they say is like I'll be here already turned kind of so the gun that killed yeah but he shot himself or the gun specifically designed to kill vampires in the in the head it would be my assumption audio he was cured yeah I don't I don't know waiting for the end of the first blade movie and he was like to the kisses his it was basically Whistler blade and she was helping them Jim and I know she has a key or she creates a cure at the end but he's like keep it just make me a stronger syrup because I have work to do so like myquest the vampires they have no guns but they are they have regular bullets in the gun I don't know why cuz you're okay but like know they were humans audio just all of the all of the vampires in this movie had guns vampire killing bullets cuz most of the people they interact with her vampires how far is his buddies silver lab I thought that to his like why don't they have vampire killing boars no vampire crime I just need to protect themselves from them pesky humans that come in there's never been like a vampire who was just going around like robbing other vampires of their other vampire Goods what what is vampire gives consistent I imagine that they really nice toothbrushes audio that's I mean number one there is the point where he talks about like rope for will go out in the daylight and they're like we can't do that you know that kills us to like they they seemed very like anti having anything to do with daylight the main villain in the first movie was totally fine going out in the daylight cuz he put on like ignoring all of this everything about the first movie he makes the sun tan lotion joke take it in the clothing Alzheimer's throwing like they do in the first movie Tron motorcycle helmets Ron Perlman burnout tropical vampires walking around like the big Panama hats audio I need vampires on the beach I was I was confused a little bit about what was the villain's name I can't remember mosquitoes or no know yet no Max no Max what was his purpose what was he trying to do I mean want to Revenge the revenge and then why are they fighting I don't understand at the very beginning he was like is the enemy of my enemy my enemy or my friend and I was like why aren't you why isn't blade working with this guy living like like like mr. porcelain was saying he was saying that it's all the vampires and he'll start coming after humans so that's what I assumed that What's blades reasoning for or wanting to defeat him but I don't know their alliances like shifted halfway through the movie and then they were like kind of on the same side how do you find out where the weather dim was the headquarters I think there was a thing in the first movie where blade they were tracking blade cuz he's got some sort of chap they did not reference it but he did have that the lawyer guy was like he's like a he doesn't know where it is and then blame it right yes he does audio who is in the who is in the building audio getting beat up in Vampire embryos yeah that's like 45 minutes I kind of watch this movie again with commentary trivia in this has had many good things to say about screenwriter David S goyer SM groan-inducing dialogue I mean it was not great dialogue it was very expositional you can see it's interesting cuz like this doesn't feel like a Guillermo Del Toro movie he can see his influence and like some of the set design I mean slightly but it's like not Dino like it's not like full-blown you can see that he was like restraint audio it's kind of like knowing that Mike mignola was one of the people on this it kind of felt like a lot of Mike mignola okay interesting is it that this full body skin suits in like everybody's that was exactly the Hellboy Vibe for for the first half of the movie I like the everybody had the the goggles that like open and closed with irises someone's very specifically aesthetic there's a say in this movie that light can't pass through water cuz she like audio I guess he said phosphorus so is turning light into a it's going around corners in Spanish the water thing actually less than a foot of water will block call like almost a hundred percent of UV rays being underwater is actually the light bulb you showed us science but I've been to Hawaii and I can see the bottom of the ocean and the light is reaching the dangerous UV rays not light otherwise they have to be in complete darkness it couldn't have the light bulb but the part that doesn't like going around the corners is like what fish the part that doesn't make any sense to me through the light bomb and was counting down at all of the vampires were underwater and then I was like audio oh yeah there's a sword under the water is that how you lured them why did they just bite him cuz his legs are also under the way was it a movement thing because the the other two got really far into the water before they jumped up I mean that just felt like the look of that reminded me and I have a gut feeling this is exactly what they were thinking if you've ever been on a boat at night to see the Flying Fish and you see if you shine a light in the water that makes them jump out of the water and the way they've jumped but I know they're not fish but the way they jump out of the water when the lights a was that's how it looks oh yeah was a piranha right coronavirus you just turn into a half piranha he didn't need to like I mean it was very cool the sword thing but like wrinkled they needed is when he was f****** with Rinehart and doing it like knife flip and slapping him I like that alot another another crazy plot hole this one is not really Powell just more of a I think maybe they're all dumb why do they even go into the sewers with guns why don't you just take flashlights why bother when they already know that I am still work to use the bullets to push them back and then use the grenades to kill him I guess but they could have just had flashlight very small light imagine imagine like an M16 in the whole Barrel or like it's just like Fallout the big light directly ahead of you keep in front of you audio how about you dressed all in clothing like completely cover themselves head to toe and body armor that the guards I like the vampire headquarters were wearing we're going into the sewers and get the the light Hammer dude with his harness and nothing else Anna really throw away fashion that the guards were human tires so why wouldn't they still just like if I might be special bodyarmor it was it was special audio so when I first hooked up with this is why they wanted to erase the first movie because in the first movie giant flashlight torches remember that the big giant I just have like a car battery with a UV light on the front just have that thing someone behind you this wasn't a cell phone problem but with blade like call when you can't do any of this cuz we solved it all in the first movie well that's why I thought maybe people won't remember I was like how could there be a third because like he killed vampires and he killed weird face vampire what do you want to know you know I don't know if I did we're going to find out just say one word I mean you find out real fast but okay most famous vampire of all time Dracula what oh my God but okay audio heading home Drake oh no not going to say who played address the elephant in the room here which is that this movie stole an awful lot from True Blood audio it has Norman Reedus and then he kills the guy in the like jerk-off room just like Boondocks faves and I was like this is weird this feels weird audio audio 1999's Boondock Saints oh yeah tell us more about how it's all jokes aside you can definitely see how this movie influence like vampire movies in Vampire content cuz it made them really edgy and like sexy aliens Lake kind of violet I haven't seen ultraviolet I remember that movie it's so bad for hair color Square sword I was at her bracelet is also a credit card that were thinking about this movie that I do I just remember her for some reason they're very similar they're damaged instead of like are you hurt audio Olympic Games I thought I thought so I feel like that want to say they came out around the same time cuz I just there's like a bunch of deleted scenes on this to where they really I guess I've seen a DVD at one point but they liked layout romance between blade Anisa it was not there hated that part yeah NFL rally Forest I was like I want to see the song even before that when he looks like I was like but why well I mean even the basis of their whole thing or she's like I've come to peace with what I am and it's like that's literally the whole point of blades existence is because coming to peace with with being a murderer audio audio vampire never kill anybody you can get blood from what banks like you can get blood and not you can probably fit you can probably in some audio I don't remember how this works vampire can and you follow I put wiper blade right in that people do sir in the first movie and I didn't kill him it was just faking his blood they did everything in the first movie is if I forgot about that they tried to steal his blood they just squeeze the juice out of them I am so uncomfortable right now they don't try to steal his blood the new hot trend audio I didn't believe that was a pool of bloody jumped into the viscosity was all wrong audio audio all I thought about looking at though is how many people would it take to fill that thing up oh yeah well I kept thinking about what he gets out and he like opens his eyes and it's like running down his face smells like that must have f****** hurt whatever dies in that s*** is like in your eye Kool-Aid it's Kool-Aid is coolant always drink but yes totally agree Trophy and Forest house early in the Final Cut we see like there really isn't there like lyrics I'm sorry yeah I guess there is there was like virgins were I was a little more explicit I mean I think it works but I don't think it would be necessary for it with a man that's why they cut it out but audio I wasn't like who I want them to get together deeper dive down that and have maybe some more conversation with them between the two of them about like this kind of an ideological split where she's like I was born that like this is who I am dln like you look at this all like where these f****** Abomination monsters but so what am I supposed to do just like die I was born and not have a life like you can go down around have that naked atonic affection and respect for each other which would have made more sense for him yeah like he just he just like jumps to like caring about her too fast like when they're in the sewer and he's like he's like oh no Nessa but he doesn't yet he doesn't mention the other guy that's with her he doesn't give a f*** about that it's it's the it's the only female in the universe because it doesn't pass the bechdel test is that what you're saying here oh yeah she was the only female remember me was received it's all it's all her like screen time does revolving around him was pretty badass but she was like I will kill you and go down with you that was kind of cool was that the intention though cuz you just look scared then I was like sunlight and then I'm dead and then he's dead and that's it yeah yeah I was like of course they made the only one of these assassins that trained for years to fight blade the only one that got afraid of anything was the woman great job you know us women and I know it's because it's because it was the the man that she loved not because she was just afraid he was afraid of him and that's what they're going with that's our story I'm going to be the Negative Nancy I didn't like this movie very much to be honest audio what are the things I really love about blade 1 is I like seeing him Kick-Ass by himself I wasn't really into him having this like crew running with him like one thing that I like about like you liking him to Batman earlier Pat like I I can see that like similarity and it's like you don't want to see Pat Batman running around with like a bunch of other people like you like see Batman stocking by himself in like hunting and stuff like that and so it just kind of I don't know I wasn't digging that vibe the plot just felt like really Trophy and kind of almost too simple it was like we just need to get this guy and now we're going to backstab you said that we would and you know it's like okay like with no depth and I just felt like it was missing like the coolest that you got in the first one and I also felt like it was like I was kind of disappointed by the soundtrack it seemed like they back on the Techno and they kind of did didn't use like as many like recognizable techno songs and instead they're like score something that sounds like electronic music what is an actual like Crystal Method Song audio they didn't give any of the songs room like in the very much had a scene where like the dialogue dropped out in the song got brought to the top of the mix Landrum the scene and I was kind of missing that from this yeah absolutely, a couple of times the song that played in the credits also played for their their slo-mo walk into the club oh yeah yeah so I don't know I just know I wasn't I wouldn't know none of us got out none of it yet none of it was like man that songs awesome and I'm so excited that it like just kicked in or whatever I just felt very basic all the same do they play Sandstorm in the first movie or something I know but they did play Crystal Method Song there are a few tracks yeah it's called The Blood Rave or visit but it's like the Whatever the song In The Blood Rave is pretty awesome husband Crystal Method Song what is like the yeah like the the music in Blade 1 is legitimate like electronic techno music of the era versus this was just like we'll just you know compose stuff instead of using real songs this was post post Matrix electron yeah yeah it was crystal method more like rap with some electronic beats in the background then like really electronic which it was fine with but then like a lot of the songs they added like grunge guitar to it which just didn't say in my mind I've been corrected it was Voodoo and Voodoo and Serano blood is pumping sorry the the electronic expert in the room next to me is correct I love the accent or own her own personal Booth you know like for recording like Ariel Israel podcast check on that order to keep the conversation going and you just you got your own one man audio audio are off screen for all of our recording don't know now I know is cuz you just talk to him I'm saying every single time all the time but usually cook with his computer ready to do the research he's ready yeah it like new order was one of the songs Creedence Clearwater Revival in the original soundtrack I had some good s*** man that's not techno sounds like old fogey Rock but like I mean I'm just saying like a junkie XL like they had some good music in the original A10 like they dropped the ball with this left yeah man there old school I got introduced to junkie XL for the Batman v Superman score audio I haven't listened to them in a long time audio yeah I've heard there's not much going on about that's my two cents II I feel like the was laughing a lot of the charm of the first one the action sequences for a Phenom weather near me I enjoyed it felt slower than the first one and a little harder to follow plot-wise is it was very dialogue-driven you're not a lot actually happen yeah it was like a lot of running around and shooting guns and then your thumb fight scene and then you're just like audio I wish like I said you were talking about like audio time for the score to kind of carry the way I really mystocks I really like that in the first one I agree with a shovel same Blade fight on his own but not as much as the first one so I think I'm with Pat I've been that positive but still enjoyable audio Irving overall I enjoy it like you guys have the Bisons are pretty glasses overall as a movie for me it held up just in general just like the look of it and like I said there was some weird transitions just like the way it was come together in the movie as a whole I think held up better than a lot of movies from the early audio it's so weird I don't know about condition myself or just been conditioned to like look for people of color in movies even though the lead is a person of color three black people total just like man that's really how it was in the early 2000s but that was when I was looking up the the trivia for this I noticed that too because I think had way more then this one yeah it was it was blade it was Bonanza guy and then I Espada like one other guy like in the club scene and then I was I was at audio yeah frog is awfully white though but I know that it wasn't until you said that where the movie was that but yeah I think that they couldn't cast vampire doesn't mean it could have cashed International vampire team exactly so International Danny Danny food had no lines who did not speak at all in this entire list he said he was too busy choreographing to fight scenes to learn lines audio I enjoyed it overall the flaws are all there I still like the Blade movies in general they selling their phone even the third one is I still I still it doesn't bore me or upset me but there's a menu any many many many flaws with it name of this stuff we talked about could have been there it was just it was like so much happened and not enough happened but nothing happened also at the same time Del Toro ride it instead of the other guy like the underlying through-line could be interesting words like the Vampire Nation has been experimenting with their genome sequence to try like improve themselves and try and maybe get Beyblade that I get be able to walk in daylight and lose all their weaknesses and stuff they did it on is really weird he was his son you didn't act like they really knew each other nomak in this, he created him but he considered him a son yeah yeah like he's like a clone yeah like he's that he's he said when he was when he was taking it realized he was like he was the first failure but then in time kalama somebody like a clone I feel like the only one concept could have done well worth I see your point and like Blade versus like a bunch of vampires is is cooler and better and he still have that but if they done if they weren't more interesting if it wasn't so we hate each other NeverEnding the f****** like City Commons I mean even better word like we will probably have a mutual problem give this thing it's like us to take a virus but it's also like uncontrollably keeps spreading and infecting people and like they could go to a remote the guys movie consolidating Power nomac in like a remote Village somewhere give a little journey and if they go somewhere together entire Village or something has been converted into these things and if they do have to work together legitimately and then like I mean breath real amoeba like this is what I got to do is just the way my brain works and then you can still have a third act with a betrayal of course right at the end and stuff the underlying concept could work and been really good it just felt like they were just trying to almost like they were they were working backwards from set-pieces and it was like the house of pain like a torture Rave place that did not that didn't do anything for the plot that just seemed like it was an idea somebody had and it's like is forces in there but it added nothing actual plot and stuff so what did they really I mean they went in there looking they went in there not knowing that that's where they were going to be first of all cuz he was just like we start with all the other places and she was like that just happens to be the one that they're at audio they went in there they realized that they can only kill these things with with UV light and two of them got killed one of them was turned in the other yeah I think you're right she's at like a set like a change of location The Rave the vampire like to the tunnels still looks the same I also felt like the same place and it would have made more sense for they come up with the light grenades cuz it was almost like kind of Scrappy and they're being resourceful Best Western Sky audio they didn't need to be Scrappy they literally have is Vampire Nation there in their backyard with this organization that is what in the trillions of dollars of resources probably it looks like maybe one of the large garage trying to Jerry Reed together some like grenades call what might be the largest conglomeration of them in the entire world be like hey get some gear that focuses on the light show what I had to get out of there and let them down and they were like a more remote location like f*** light kills them what do we got okay we got these things what can we do if we can make a little grenades out of cool they look really high-tech for something that they just threw together in their garage and then he's like and then he's out in the in the in the in the scrap yard looking for laying around or talking about the thing from the first movie that like basic a slight with the car battery or talking about like that would have been a more effective weapon than anything that came up with against these things audio questions they didn't want to ask is blade a secret billionaire you know if if the vampire Consortium is as powerful as they seem to be why did they need blade. Down one person would you guys buy a blade Brandon set of kitchen knives play blades words that go on the tips of my fingers like those bad guys had yeah I was like there's no way the needle fingers is an effective medical tool audio but I thought they I thought they they wanted where did they were just so they were trying to get him to hunt down Namek as well as stab him in the back or was stabbing him in the back kind of always the right yeah they were always planning to they wanted to capture to get no Mac cuz that's a loose ends to tie up and then of course you have blade in the palm of your hand right like Enemy Number One kill him cuz I was a two-for-one kind of thing two birds one blade you even had the opportunity again had the opportunity I didn't feel like he had enough incentive to join them I feel like f****** deal with it then then Goodluck Goodluck I'll f****** deal with it when it becomes my problem why would he sending on like towns killing a bunch of people to criminitly then you might be incentivized to be like look at this Village that he completely decimated these are dead or not turning to one of these always moving towards the other one audio I think that's a bridge too far for blade though cuz blade does not exist at the same world as 30 Days of Night there's no towns under vampire Siege in the world of play but there would be out of MREs Underground or like on a Mountaintop even if it was like even if it was even if it was at the point where he like where we saw the Namek attack the guy in the alley and then we had already had that yeah they showed they showed later like yeah here's him at the blood bank at he's like attacking people and is like there's only one of him at that point he hasn't like amass an army or anything and then he still wants to help them audio audio was it that positive for you bro I think this honestly it's not positive for me I had an anesthetic I think that's the thing is the Blade movies are in a large part of about the aesthetic and every set looking the same have the time and thus I was like what's reminding me of is how much worse movie Underworld audio where is just like and and a few other of those type of movies or shows like everything the lights are out no matter where we go no one has installed a light fixture and that was just kind of the vibe of this thing and that it's fine I noticed it while we were watching it appointed to that was like people don't make stuff like this anymore but I think it's more because digital photography these days than then just cuz there's a lot of really dark movies in the 90s early 2000s and then it kind of went to like digital dark like day for night find me everything father was like a good look blame it on his nipple suit damn bat nipples I don't like that put that one back in the hole it came from audio anyway so pictures of George Clooney Batman chest with #couple Jesus now that my overall impression of this film is less about how ridiculous it was cuz I know I like the first one so much is because it is the whole plot everything about blade is just batshit insane the fights the way they could be the first one was like we we have syringe gun needles of juice at the vampires and then it's going to make them explode like its it was ridiculous but what I remember during the first movie family or sitting on the couch just like freaking out just like oh my God amazing I didn't have one of those moments yammy 211 Outburst of Akira movie toy that was the first blade so I think it's just not as good of a movie it was still very enjoyable and the action sequences Teague Ford sample the fondue thinks that you like fondue is this movie cheese I'm into it was good it was fun I just would probably rather watch the first one again this one I will say I think Phil Tippett did great work as always 54 mm audio will like that was the blending of the 3D into the 2D like the times when it worked it worked really well and that was the stuff Empire disintegrated I thought that it looked like obvious CJ but it was stylized so it look cool it wasn't trying to look like Photo realistic video game yeah photo reference of a vampire dissolving we need to bring this to like a realist totally something I would have had just looked up cats broke broken over there is many bad puns that say on the show you have no idea how many I keep to myself yeah I let him out if you bottle up too many times you will die audio them's the rules that was laid to everyone that was a lot of fun.
