Street Fighter, with Trisha Hershberger

This is Free with Ads, the podcast that asked the question: why pay max 10 bucks a month to watch the Minecraft movie when you can go online for free and watch a video game movie that makes up for its lack of cutting-edge special effects by having lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of characters.

Just so many characters.

I'm Jordan Morris.

And I'm Emily Fleming.

Today's movie is Street Fighter.

Finally, you little

piggies.

Here it is.

It's the 1994 video game adaptation starring Jean-Claude Van Damme dump truck as, is it Guile?

Guile.

I thought it was Guy for some reason.

You know, it might as well be Guy.

He's giving the performance of a man who's just called Guy.

But no, his full name in this is William F.

Guile.

Oh,

he's an American soldier with a thick Belgian accent and a shaky grasp of English.

It's so true.

That's right.

Just an all-American Yankee doodle boy.

And boy, they tried to make his hair blonde, didn't they?

They Yeah, kind of.

They kind of tried.

And hey, with us, as always, is the super producer, the he freak, Matt Lieb, hitting us with those big old drops.

Exactly.

Matt.

Exactly.

How dare you.

Oh, shit.

This is

all I could think about during this.

I watched the wrong movie.

I just kept watching it, waiting for Goro to happen.

Where's Goro?

Where's Goro?

Where's Subscribe?

We had Goro, but just with like the normal set of human arms.

Yeah, that's a really good thing.

There was part of a human Goro in there.

That's a really boring Goro.

Exactly.

It just has less arms than Goro.

That's regular.

Matt,

I like to, before we do the show, guess what you're going to use for the drop, what audio you're going to use for the drop.

And I was positive you were going to do game over.

There it is.

The greatest.

I had it ready.

I am not being cheeky or cute when I say I think that is one of the greatest line reads in the history of Sam.

Absolutely.

No, no hyperbole.

Hey, we obviously are champing chomping at the bit to talk about this movie.

And one of the reasons we're so excited to talk about it is because we have an amazing guest here with us today to talk about Street Fighter.

She's a host.

She's a Twitch streamer you've seen on IGN, Smosh, Nerdist, and the Mythical Society.

It's Tricia Hirschberger.

Hi, Tricia.

Hi, everyone.

Thank you so much for having me for such an interesting movie to discuss.

Had you never seen it before?

I've never seen it before.

Nope.

This is my first viewing.

I could not be happier.

Well, yes, we're going to talk about Street Fighter and its dozens of characters.

I have a question, though, for our guest.

Yeah, you know, should we start our hit segment talk to guest?

Right, yes.

Oh, definitely.

Talk to guest.

Okay, Emily, your question.

Okay, do you, as a Twitch streamer, do people play Street Fighter?

Like, do you play it?

Do people like watching it?

What the deal?

There are lots of people that play Street Fighter on Twitch.

I am not one of them.

I don't tend to be very good at fighting games.

And most of the people that watch Twitch streamers who play fighting games are watching them so that they themselves can get better.

Like, they're looking to pick up some pro tips.

And I just, I can't hang like that.

So, while I love the Street Fighter franchise, of course, I grew up like I think a lot of us being fans of a lot lot of these characters, and I played as a kid.

I feel like if you're going to make content around this game, which a lot of people still do and a lot of people still watch, you need to be good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I have watched Street Fighter on Twitch and I have traveled to see Street Fighter tournaments.

I've like traveled to watch

Street Fighter in a tournament.

Where?

Oh, yeah.

There's an event in Vegas, the Street Fighter Championships called Evo, and I've been to it a couple of times.

It's like that last event of the wizard.

God, wouldn't that be great?

Devo.

If they were the musical entertainment, that would be pretty cool.

Right.

Yeah.

That's amazing.

Did you actually play in this tournament or you came to spectate?

No, I just came to watch.

I'm not that good, but

I mean, I could kick all your asses at the end.

No, for sure.

For sure.

Jordan,

I don't know.

Jordan, when you were there, did you happen to see?

I hosted

a tournament between Kenny Omega and DJ Mighty Mouse Johnson before playing each other in Street Fighter.

And it was awesome.

No, that might have been before my Evo time.

I'm actually thinking about going back this year.

Dude.

I know, right?

Dude.

But hey,

this is not about me and my problems.

This is about

my problems.

This is about you and your fandom.

We love to support the fandom.

The joy that I get from watching my video game buddies throw Hadoukens at each other.

So, Tricia, you don't play Street Fighter, you don't play fighting games.

What kind of games do you like to stream?

I play a lot of action-adventure,

RPG games.

I'll do a lot of simulation.

I'll do a lot of strategy.

And so, kind of a little bit of everything.

And I like to play fighting games.

I just can't play them competitively.

So, I enjoy them.

I just, I don't really make content around them because I'm not super competitive.

But yeah, I mean, I consider myself a variety streamer, so I play pretty much everything that's out there.

The only thing I avoid is uber realistic war simulators just because I don't have that power of fantasy personally.

Like, that's not where I want to escape to when I want to escape.

But, like, Joe.

That's a great way of putting it.

Right, to the people who that's what they want.

Get it.

Our Reddit is like shitting a break.

I feel like I'm being judged.

No, no, no.

You're a Call of Duty.

You're like a Call of Duty guy, right?

Yeah, I just, there's something very relaxing about just killing a bunch of guys with realistic guns.

This is like

families.

Well, for dudes, I guess it's this type of game, and for girls, it's, or for women, it's for like watching true crime where everyone is dismembered and murdered.

Yeah, you guys listen to true crime.

I like to commit it on video games.

That makes sense.

The masculine and the feminine.

Guys, we did it.

We figured it out.

Trisha, this is kind of a, this is a daddish question.

Get it.

But did it, was there a learning prop, was there like a learning curve when you were like, I'm going to start streaming to like learn how to like be on and funny and compelling while also playing video games?

To me, that's a walking and chewing gum thing.

Is it challenging to like be performance on, but also like like trying to beat a video game?

I think it would be if you are the type of streamer who like has a character that you do when you're on.

Like I can see that being really challenging.

But prior to becoming a Twitch streamer, because Twitch wasn't really a thing yet, when I first started creating content with Philip DeFranco and his channel SourceFet.

So I was on camera all the time, every day anyway, for years working for that channel.

And so it kind of just became like second nature: oh, am I being recorded?

Of course, I'm being recorded.

Like, because why not?

Because life is just recorded now.

That was my normal.

Right.

Everything was content.

Everything's recorded.

So, whether I was playing video games and being recorded or doing anything else in life and being recorded, it all was just kind of commonplace for me at that point.

So for me, there was no learning curve because I just am existing and it's on camera and that's cool.

But the

gab.

Yeah, but just chatting like I'm chatting with you fine folks today.

Similar thing, you know, like very low-key, very chill.

And of course, yes, you want to be interesting,

but there's also some just nice slice of life moments.

But like I said, if you were going to do a full character or go kind of, you know, how there's some gaming YouTubers that are just at an energy level, 3,000 all the time?

Like if you were going to do that, I can imagine that would make it a little more tricky, right?

But yeah, I'm just hanging out and enjoying video games.

Hey, Tricia.

That's contagious.

Tricia,

would you

let some girl who's never played video games just hang up like behind you and go, what's that about?

Why'd you do that?

100%.

And

you know who you can join?

That's normally the role my husband plays.

Oh, cool.

We can join together and do that.

You two can hang out and ask

questions you like.

Go in that door.

What you thought about?

What's in this drawer over here?

Uh-huh.

Yep.

I love it.

I am all in favor of that.

I don't know if there is a way to do this.

Could we set Emily up to stream classic Sega Game Gear games, which I think is the last video game console you had, right?

It's the only one I had, but my sister got like the cube or something.

My sister was really into it.

The cube?

You're talking about GameCube.

Cube.

GameCube.

GameCube.

Your sister got put in cube from the movie Cube.

There are some GameCube games you can play right now.

Yeah, so there's some stuff out there.

I'm sure we could find a retro game that scratches that itch for you.

I would like to play the Lion King game from Sega because it's the only one I played.

Ooh, okay.

I had an X-Men one, but it stopped working.

Yeah, that's it.

I like put it in, blow on it, put it on it.

It didn't work.

Sounds like it.

You did everything you could.

You blew on it.

I did.

I did everything I could.

Tricia, so you, you're a mom, you have a kid.

Are you getting your kid into the kind of like

nerdy stuff that you're into?

You know what's so funny?

I think that all kids like naturally have some kind of aversion to whatever their parents are into.

Oh, God, I hope so.

Right?

Well, I mean, honestly.

My son's hilarious because Jessica Alice.

He thinks video games.

He's like, that's what mom does for work.

So it's like inherently not as cool.

So what's he in?

Is he into labooboos?

No, I actually brought him back a laboo boo.

I was in Taiwan for Computex and I brought him back a laboo boo and he was like, eh.

Yeah, he's into sports.

He's into sports.

He's a jock.

He's a jock.

Which is so

not what I've ever been into.

But you know what?

I wished my parents got more into video games because that's what I liked.

And so I'm going to be a sports mom if that's what he demands of me.

But what kind of sport are we talking here?

It's not golf, is it?

No, right now it's soccer.

Lots of soccer.

Oh, soccer is crazy.

It's international.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Soccer mom.

Karate as well.

Oh, you would love the Street Fighter.

I know.

Speaking of Jean-Claude Van Damme, here we are.

Have you bought him any umbros?

No, wait, what are umbros?

Remember umbro shorts?

That's what every cool like soccer kid wore was like umbro shorts.

Maybe it's not around anything.

No,

some look pretty cool shorts, honestly.

Okay, thank you.

I don't know.

I'll find out.

No, now I like want to look them up.

I don't know.

They might not be around.

I think Adidas may be kind of just over.

No, they are still cute.

Check them out.

I'm looking at them right now.

They're cute as hell.

Umbro shorts.

Well, just umbro, the brand in general.

It's like they're cool.

They were like what all the soccer, like, cool kids.

Okay, yeah, yeah.

I get athletic shorts.

Yeah.

Honestly, umbros, pretty good name for a podcast.

Oh, shit.

They're selling

them

exclusively at Urban Outfitters, which is a bad sign.

Okay.

It could be.

It could be.

Jordan, you said you like to watch fighting games, and you've been to Evo.

What games do you like to play?

So, yeah, big fighting game guy.

I've played a lot of Street Fighter VI.

That's the most recent Street Fighter game.

I always buy them.

Street 6?

Yeah, yeah.

Well, there's also the Street Fighter Alpha series, of course.

Those are the.

Those are prequels.

Oh, no, you want to hear about continuity?

Oh, boy.

I know.

But I've been really, really into the past couple of years for me have been all about the Dark Souls games, the Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Bloodborne.

These are like kind of dark fantasy games that are kind of frustratingly hard, and you play them until 2 a.m.

and you get a headache.

That's what I'm into.

Is that a horny one?

Is Elden Ring a horny one?

There are some

like statues with huge tits.

Oh, no.

But it's the one.

It's not a game where you actually get to be intimate with people.

And there are games like that.

Baldur's.

Baldur's Gate.

Baldur's Gate.

That one.

Oh, yeah.

I'm a big Baldur's Gate gal.

So who, who, can you, do you, can you, do you, are you okay to tell us about some of your Baldur's Gate romances?

I totally can.

Is there anyone that sees the video of this?

I do.

I've watched a lot lot of videos.

Oh, no, no.

You mean the video of this podcast?

Yes.

No, no.

Okay, because I was going to say I could show and tell.

But just behind me in my office is a cuddle pillow of Astarian.

My husband got it for me for my birthday due to my ongoing, very steamy romance with Astarian.

Can we see the Astarian?

I don't know the characters in the game.

I kind of do want to see it.

Yeah.

Okay, hold on.

I just watch YouTube videos of people playing the game, and it's hot.

Oh, wow.

I knew it was him.

So what we're seeing is kind of a silver-haired, kind of aristocratic, maybe vampire boy.

Am I getting that right?

Yeah.

I know a hot vampire boy when I see him.

Hot vampire boy.

Yes.

And in my, here, wait, I'm coming closer to the

in my 200-hour plus first playthrough,

I did get the best romantic ending.

What was it?

Can we know?

Oh, I don't want to spoil it for anybody.

I need to know

the ending.

So

that ending has nothing to do with the other ending.

Oh, okay.

So this is a game where,

especially before they patched it, pretty much every character that you encounter is...

Very thirsty all the time.

So like you'd come up and be like, hey, I found this cool gem in a cave.

And they'd be like, I love the way you smell.

And you're like, oh.

I just want to talk about gems.

Yeah, like I was trying to, okay, I guess

neat.

Yeah, so that game is quite the Randy game for sure.

But you can not romance anybody if that's not your jam.

Honestly, story.

I'm always trying to show people gems and then they just try and fuck me.

Jesus.

No, you know what?

You can't stop it.

I know.

Okay,

this is amazing.

I'm glad we have somebody with video game industry credibility here with us today to talk about Street Fighter the movie.

I think we've kind of, it's a lot of people's first time.

I saw this in theaters as a kid.

This is like the height of my insanity about Street Fighter.

And

I'll talk about my viewing this time as we go.

But at the time when I saw it in theaters, I think we all know that feeling of like, you're a kid, right?

You're just happy to be at the movies.

You don't know movies are bad.

And then you see that one movie where you're like, wait a minute.

Yeah.

Was that bad?

And Street Fighter was one of those for me.

I'm like, I've been looking forward.

This is the only movie I've ever wanted to see since I first played it at Lamppost Pizza.

Still there, and maybe still has a Street Fighter machine.

We need to get merch.

Yeah, we got to do it.

Lamp Post Pizza.

At the very least, a sponsorship.

Yeah.

God damn it, Lampost.

Yeah, we'll plug one pizza place in Lake Forest.

So me seeing, I was very disappointed with this in the theaters.

And I haven't revisited since.

I was glad I got a chance to do it for this pod.

Anybody else see this in theaters?

You've seen it.

Not in theaters, but did you, Tricia?

Did you see it in theaters?

No, I never saw it.

I actually didn't know that this came out in theaters.

Okay.

Yeah.

It seems like it shouldn't have.

It seems like it shouldn't have.

Yeah.

I saw this in theaters.

Okay.

All the boys on this podcast have seen it in theaters because we are the true Street Fighter fans.

We're the umbros.

Or the umbros.

I'll give it to you.

Yeah.

I'm not going to argue with it because I don't give a fuck.

But I saw it on, when it was free with ads on YouTube, I watched it like a couple of months ago and I was stoned.

And I loved it.

Yeah, that's a better way to see it.

Then I watched it today,

and I have other opinions.

Probably because I wasn't stuck.

Huge mistake.

Yeah, let's talk about the actual movie.

We open on news footage.

Great way to start a movie.

Just watch it.

This is pretty cool, actually.

You like the news footage?

I like it, yeah.

Okay.

I don't know.

I didn't like the real bad, like...

Windows 95

animated intro to the news, though.

It looks like one of those horrific maze screensavers or something.

And it was weird that Clippy was giving the news.

I thought that was so weird.

Well, okay, so I liked it because I don't know a lot about the lore of Street Fighter, but was Chun Lee a journalist in the video game?

Well,

hang on.

Okay, before we get into that, I just want to say I think we know this actress.

She's been in so much shit.

She was in ER.

She was

Ming Nguen's incredible.

She's great.

Amazing actress.

And she's good in this too.

I think she's awesome.

She's so good.

She's one of the few that actually knew what movie she was in.

Right.

Not everyone did.

Yeah.

And not everyone knew they were in a movie.

Yeah.

But I really liked her, her character.

It was fun.

I like her little dudes in her news van that she hangs out with.

They're awesome.

Balrog and Ihonda.

Yeah, that's our fun friendship.

That's my favorite little group in the whole movie.

It is a cool group.

And honestly, the movie has too many characters and should just be about one or two people, and that's who the movie should be about.

I honestly don't even think Jean-Claude needed to be in this fucking movie.

Sure, yes.

Anyway, so yeah, so to answer your lore question, Emily, in the game, Chun Lee is kind of more of the guile.

She is part of like an Interpol or an MI6, and she's looking for Bison because he killed her father.

So that revenge plot is really,

but they made her a reporter for the movie.

I like the reporter thing.

It gives like April O'Neill vibes.

Yeah,

for sure.

It definitely, and it's fun and,

you know, gives gives her like an excuse to like have to try and interview Guile.

Yeah, Jordan, you had mentioned that like they should have focused on one or two people and I think if they were gonna make like a serious Street Fighter drama focusing on one or two characters and like really building out the story would have absolutely been it But for like hey, we're just trying to recreate the fun you have on an arcade machine like on an arcade cabinet get all the fighters in there make them fight plot doesn't really matter Let's all just have a great time and get lots of action but wait a minute but then only have the fighting start a whole half-ass way through the movie it's like

well that depends on whether or not you think uh people shooting at each other is fighting no i don't

i think it is

yes it is interesting and attrition i think there i think there is i think you you do make a good point it is like as a fan of the game you do want to see everybody and they have a thing in the movie where everyone gradually gets into their outfit from the game, and by the end, they're all in their outfit from the game.

The movie doesn't care about a lot, but it cares about everyone being there and everyone gradually getting in their outfit from the game.

That is kind of cool.

And they each do like one special move at some point in the movie, and I appreciate it.

One of their special moves, and it is cool when they do the special moves.

I feel like I wanted it just be like, I think people should just breathe fire in this movie, and no one should explain it, it should just happen.

Um, anyway, so yeah, uh, so uh, Chun Lee, she's reporting on the biggest story in the whole world.

A country has gone rogue, Shadow Lou, and it is being run by the evil M.

Bison, Miss Bison if you're nasty,

played by Raul Julia.

He's a drug dealer.

I think it's funny in this video game movie, they're like, he sells heroin.

It's just this weird real-world face.

He does it.

And, okay.

Raul fucking Julia.

Chun Li knows what movie she's in.

Raul Julia really knows what movie.

Yes, he does.

He is so good in this and so awesome.

And I just, if you've never seen this, I want to like play a clip of what he's like in this movie.

This is toward the end of the movie, but this is how he's acting the whole time.

It is a

Nicolas Cage Hold My Beer level of rank acting.

It's so great.

So yeah, I just, if you haven't watched it, I just wanted Matt to play his little clip of like what he's like in this movie.

You still refuse to accept my godhood.

Keep your own God.

Fact.

This might be a good time to pray to him.

For I beheld Satan as he fell from heaven

like

me.

So rare.

And that is every line.

That needs to be the intro to a metal song.

Just like put that in the middle and then just

stop.

Yeah.

It's so good.

And yeah, and he

all with the ball to banged it.

No, not that one.

Not that one.

You know, a little bit of a breakdown, but I think it's important to like, to like understand how awesome he is.

He had stomach cancer during this.

This was his last movie.

He died before it came out.

And

all his kids came with him to film this movie and all had this family vacation together while they were filming it.

And he did it because they loved the game.

And

he is like

not in great health for this.

He has to wear this giant armor.

And he is still.

He looked cool, though.

He looked cool.

The boots in that last scene were out of control.

The gravity boots, yeah.

So he, this is like, you know, like, obviously this is not a great movie, but he's so awesome in it.

So good.

And if you like, even if you don't watch this movie, there's tons of like YouTube clips of him and compilations and it's awesome.

I would say watch it just for this performance, if nothing else.

That's great.

But also his costumes that I didn't know that he knew he was sick during this.

I thought this was his last movie and then he passed away.

I didn't know he was sick during it.

That's really remarkable.

Yeah, I know.

And he just like brings it and it does seem like he's doing some of the fighting in this too.

Like

Van Dam, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's truly amazing, an amazing guy.

Well, later I want to talk about his costumes, so we'll get it.

Oh, sure, yeah, yeah.

We'll have a costume corner.

So, yeah, so he is guile is his enemy.

They're taunting each other through Chun Lee's camera.

I don't know how that works, but like

they're using Chun Lee's movie camera to talk to each other.

And Bison.

Wait, wait.

We have a sting.

Fake film tech.

Fake film tech.

Fake film tech.

So definitely.

You better get that sting ready because there's a lot more where that game is.

He's only playing it once.

No, you're not.

So they're taunting each other.

Bison says, you will choke on those words.

And Van Dam just goes, anytime, dickhead.

Such a non-line.

Anytime, dickhead.

It's also just so funny.

I know you guys were kind of talking about this at the very beginning, but that Jean-Claude Van Damme is guile and like actually has the American flag very poorly stenciled on his biceps,

but also has the thickest accent.

Like he's supposed to be the like America boy.

And

very clearly not speaking American dialect at all.

Trisha, did you, have you watched a lot of Van Dam movies?

Did you have feelings about him going into this?

I mean, I am a fan of a lot of action films of that era where whether it be Van Dam or Schwarzenegger or whoever, like, you know, was learning, they were getting their grasp on English a little bit better.

But that's okay because we love them for the action that they do.

And that's what it's all about.

Right?

So I'm not bad to look at.

I mean, I anticipated that's what we'd be getting.

I guess I didn't realize going in that he would be Guile and like just be like, but I'm the America boy.

I know.

Which just made it even worse.

Why the fuck wasn't he Blanco?

Like to me, this guy is kind of big.

Blanca?

Because they would have hidden his face the whole time if he was Blanco.

Well, then maybe they would have tried at the makeup.

Yeah.

Because then they would have made him look hot, but also, like, Hulk.

Hulk is still hot when he's like from the was it the 70s?

Yeah, I don't.

You like a green man?

I don't know that anyone that plays the games is like, you know what?

You know who I want to be hot?

Blanca.

I don't know that.

Tricia, respectfully disagree.

Okay, okay, you know what?

Art clips I need to send you.

Whoa.

If you want to talk about Goro versus Blanca, I mean, Goro's got it.

Okay.

I keep drawing fan art of Goro and Blanca hugging

their nation.

They would love each other.

But yeah, I hear what you're saying.

Blanca's my, he's my main.

He's my main.

Blanca.

Nice.

Nice.

Can we talk about the tattoo for a second?

Oh, because it was.

Like, almost looked like it was put on with glitter.

Like, it's almost like someone took a glitter pen and drew an American flag on this man's bicep.

And we're all just supposed to believe it was a tattoo.

Yeah, yeah.

It's one of those things where they like solve a mystery based on a tattoo later.

It's like, this guy has the tattoo of the evil blah, blah, blah.

And that one sucks too.

The tattoos in this are awful.

Yeah, so as we mentioned, Blanca, he's the green monster man.

Bison is turning him into a monster man.

He's he's Giles' buddy, Charlie.

And so he was disturbing to me.

Some personal stakes.

They have him in this like

clockwork orange helmet, and they're showing him atrocities.

This is all being done to him by Dr.

Dalsim, who has a real classic ass science lab.

Bubble in beakers.

You know, what's that shit you do at Halloween to make smoke?

Dry ice.

He has beakers filled with dry.

I'm like, this is a science lab.

Yes.

Fucking proper science labs.

And then like saline drip bags, but with just Gatorade in them.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

That was so funny.

You know what I liked about this lab, though, was how cramped it is, because I guess they're at the bottom of a military base or something.

So there's like not a lot of space.

I like that he's like uncomfortably and nervously crammed in there with the thing where they're, you know,

deforming this man.

Yeah.

He has this big computer console and when he sits down at it, it shakes because it is made of fucking cardboard.

You can see the set.

It's like an Ed Wood movie.

You can see the set like getting knocked over.

They spent all the money on like wrestlers.

They spent all the money on Van Dam and Kylie Minogue.

Yeah.

Like we're going to need some discount beakers.

And

Kabika budget.

It's too high.

They spent the money on Van Dam, Kylie Minogue, and cocaine for Van Dam.

That's right.

That's a very fun

oral history of this movie.

It was kind of cool to see Kylie Minogue, though.

Yeah, she plays Cami.

And yeah,

she also, I would argue, knows what movie she's in.

She's having a lot of fun, and she's really like, I don't know, I like her in this.

She's perfect in this.

It's amazing that those three people are the ones who get it.

And then there's all these, I don't know, it's such a bummer.

Okay, now check my Kylie Minogue facts.

But wasn't Kylie Minogue like super also known for her backside, which Cami is also very known for her backside.

So I was like, A plus casting, but then I was a little bummed out as someone that really respected the colours.

I respect the heck out of Cami coslayers if they can do the bum right, because it's not easy to pull off.

And I was sad in this movie that we didn't get more Cami bum.

I agree.

If you play the game, Cami

fights all of her matches in a thong.

And yes,

the Cami cosplayers at cons, they are doing God's work.

A salute to all you soldiers out there camiing.

And so, yeah, I

and yeah, you are.

This movie is very PG-13.

And so, yeah, you do not get any kind of saucy pants.

No cami, but, but my husband was telling me, and maybe

his facts are messed up, but he was telling me, he was like, didn't Kylie Minogue like insure her backside because she was like so known for it?

With Lloyds of London.

And I'm like, dude, if that's true, that's wild.

For sure, J-Lo did that, but I don't know.

Well,

that's a rumor, supposedly.

I love that there's just like

an insurance company like Mixalot Inc.

that just does this, that just does butt insurance.

It's just butt insurance.

Can you imagine?

Okay,

the U.S.

Sun says Kylie has a $4 million

insurance on her butt.

See?

I don't even know.

That's some kids.

There's a bit of happen right there.

They're backing up a dump truck of money.

I don't understand.

i chopped my butt off so fast

if i had no i mean like give me that four million bucks this does feel like a really like easy insurance scam i burned my ass down for the insurance yeah well i guess you insure it if you think like should something happen to my bum yes then i still have four million dollars not make use it to make money anymore i could then do this but doesn't time do that anyway what are you gonna do sue god like what are you gonna do i'd love to sue god me too i got some questions and some resentment um

so uh so we get kind of an intro to like some of the other characters in this we have uh ken and ryu they're two two fighting bros they're like gunrunners in this movie and they are like pulling a fast one on uh sagat and vega um

who are like just two kind of like bad guys in this.

Vega, kind of known for having the mask, they are announcing the casting for the Street Fighter reboot movie.

Yes.

Vega, it's going to be played by Orville Peck.

There's a reboot?

Which is kind of cool.

Yes, it's coming.

It's 2025, Emily.

Orville Peck?

Orville Peck is going to be a great player.

Make us come right out the gate.

Okay,

this is a cool thing that is a little bit of a bummer, too.

So

they announced Bison this week.

And it's going to be David Dustmalchin, who is a cool...

He's like that guy from that thing who's always good.

He was like polka dot man in the suicide squad.

He's really great.

Oh, I love him.

But you know, he might be great.

He might be great.

But you know who was gonna, who was gonna be?

Who?

Walton Goggins.

Oh,

that would have ruled.

That would have been good.

But still, that's still a good choice, though.

It's a good choice.

I love that.

He's gonna be good.

And you know who's gonna be Blanca?

Who?

Jason Momoa.

Yeah, I did see that.

That's the news that I saw.

I'm into it.

I'm fucking.

I'm so in.

I don't care if it sucks.

I'm down.

One ticket.

I think that guy might bring it, though.

100%.

He always brings it.

I can't remember his name, but he is great in everything.

Well, that horror movie that he did about

a TV production that the devil comes and fucks everyone up.

Oh, my God.

It's so scary.

I think it's pretty good.

Yeah, I have high hopes for the Street Fighter movie based on the late night with the devil.

Casting is a lot of fun.

Casting is a lot of fun so far.

Hell yeah.

So yeah, so there, this is like the only part of the movie that takes place at like a fighting tournament, and the rest of the movie is just a war movie.

It's like, okay.

So yeah, so they're doing, there's a fight between Ryu and Vega that doesn't like happen, but there's kind of a fun moment where like the ladies love Vega.

He's this like, you know, suave kind of Spanish bullfighter type guy.

And then Ryu takes off his shirt, or Ryu, excuse me.

Yeah, I was going to say, we got to talk about this, Jordan.

They confuse him in the movie.

In some movie, they confused it.

In the movie, they can't decide.

I grew up saying Ryu, like many Americans, and then was corrected later that it is Ryu.

That it's Ryu.

But also, I feel like the first time they say it in the movie, the first character says it Ryu.

And I was like, what is even happening?

I don't know that.

In this movie,

third pronunciation.

You're just Roy now.

Ridiculous.

You can't do Japanese.

You're Smitty.

Whatever we choose to call him.

The internet says it's Ryu.

Ryu.

Yeah.

Ryu, Ken is the one who called him Ryu, which in the movie, I was like, actually, that kind of fits with the character because Ken is like American.

Yeah, kind of a dumb American.

You know, these guys have a fun chemistry.

They never kiss no matter how hard you yell at the screen.

Jordan, that's so true.

Kiss guys.

So there's this.

They're about to fight.

There's a thing where Ryu takes off his shirt and the ladies all like tear up their I Love Vega signs.

This movie has, I didn't, I forgot this about this movie.

It has a lot of goofy comedy in it, and some of it is really

Yeah, I did like legitimately laugh at some of the jokes in this.

I like that work.

Excuse me.

I will say that the guy he was up against who took his mask off, I went, holy shit, this guy's gorgeous.

No, that's the thing about the character, too.

He's like this, like, vague, screening.

Yeah.

But yeah, when he took off his shirt, I was like, okay, I think it's a little bit much of a reaction, ladies.

But all right.

They're the Vega fan club.

They're the Vega fan club.

So, yeah, there's this whole, so they don't fight because like Guile crashes a tank through the thing and arrests everybody.

And then there's this like faked out, and I think that was just there so they could tell the tank, sell the tank as a toy.

They just needed it in one scene.

So they

so they like arrest everybody, and then there's this like double-crossed thing where they pretend like Guile gets shot.

And Bison is talking with his like tech guy DJ.

and he says,

This is one of the weirdest, funniest moments in the movie to me.

DJ's like, great news, General.

Your greatest enemy is dead.

And Bison's like, On the contrary, I mourn a fellow warrior.

And DJ just goes, Okay.

Played by Miguel Nunez

Jr., who is like a great comic actor.

He was in Joanna Man, he was in life.

He's

just a

really hilarious dude.

So I was happy to see him in one of the dumbest roles.

He pops up in everything.

He's another that guy from that thing.

Absolutely.

So

we go to like Shadow Lou, like

Bison's base in Shadow Loo, and it's supposed to be this

den of inequity.

It's supposed to be this, you know, like Mose Icely kind of rugged place.

And they go to like Bison's headquarters.

And he's watching a magic show.

He's this drug-dealing dictator and he ordered a magic show.

Yeah.

And all his soldiers are sitting around clapping for this magic show.

Like this guy sells heroin and guns.

And he has a torture pit, but he's just like, bring on the magic show.

And also, he has about 50, 60 hostages just in a bunker somewhere.

Yeah.

It's kind of incredible.

And he's watching a magic.

And so it is undercover.

It is Chun Lee and Honda and Balrog, her like like news team, and they're really great and funny in this, like being magicians.

They have like funny costumes.

Um, but yeah, I just fucking love that this like drug-dealing dictator loves magic shows.

You know what?

When you're on top of the world, you do what you want, you get whatever entertainment you want.

If it's a magic show, you do it.

You want pony rides.

I would not be surprised if Chris Angel wasn't in Trump's basement, like right now.

Oh, maybe.

Depends on which kind of magic you like, you know?

little emo magic then yeah do you want your mind freaked i think is the issue

how do you want your mind freaked um

so yeah um it's the news team undercover uh we learned that bison's gonna kidnap the queen of england that's just kind of a fun little sub-plan he casually

um

so they simpler times but like uh you know chun lee and her like news guy sabotage their weapons they like blow them up um and kind of Bison and all his guys are watching this on like a closed circuit TV.

And his one of Bison's goons is Zangiev, this kind of big, dumb wrestler guy.

And they give him all these dumb guy lines.

Is he the one with the beard and the mohawk?

Got the beard and the mohawk.

He's the

Siberian bear.

While they're watching it on TV and everything's blowing up, Zangief goes, quick, change the channel.

Yeah.

He's so dumb.

He thinks if he changed the channel, it doesn't happen.

Yeah, so I like, I'm like, why am I laughing so hard at this movie?

What was his name again?

Zongyev.

I don't know the name of the actor, but he's like a big character.

No, just the character, Zongiev?

Yeah.

Zonggif.

Yes.

So yeah, they kidnap, like, they kidnap Chun Li.

They get her news, guys.

Everybody got, it's kind of like they're putting everybody in place for the final battle, kind of.

They're like kidnapping everybody.

There's this scene, and they put Chun Li in this, like, kind of like, I don't know what you would call it, this dress that kind of looks similar to her game costume.

Yes, it's very much like that, but it's red, and she has red sheer hose on, and I'm like, we can wear that?

I didn't know that's such, I'm going to wear red sheer hose, ASAP.

But yeah, she looks amazing.

I can't remember what the shoes look like, but I want to remember.

Go on.

Sorry.

Very cool.

Very cool costume.

Yeah.

I mean, Emil,

does anybody have any just general costume thoughts while we're talking about this?

All of the costumes.

So many

So many costume thoughts.

I love that they did Chun Li's Buns by the end.

Yes.

Yes.

You need it.

And actually, I'm looking up, because I think the 1994 Street Fighter film was based on Street Fighter II, if I remember.

Oh,

that's cool.

And so I'm looking up Chun Li's Street Fighter II outfit.

And she

always remember her in the blue and gold.

Yes.

That's her classic, is the blue with like the white like little puff balls on the buns.

She does wear like kind of a red tight under that blue outfit in Street Fighter.

That's cool.

Yeah, she looks

but and the thing fit her.

Like it was such a cool,

like, I don't know.

And she fought in it like a motherfucker too, which was cool.

She's great.

Yeah.

Ning Nga Wen's awesome.

And I don't know.

I guess she wasn't as famous as she is now back then, but she killed it.

She's great.

She was my favorite, actually, in the whole thing.

Yeah, Ning Ngen.

She's amazing.

She whips ass.

And she, and this, in this scene, so like Bison has her in his lair, and

there's this thing where he changes into a smoking jacket and then takes a different hat off of the hat.

He puts on a velvet evil guy hat.

Yeah.

Oh my gosh.

That's great.

It's

yeah, and then she like breaks her like chains and she like kicks his ass and it's a pretty, it's a great scene.

She really does.

She's really doing some of this fighting.

Yeah, she's great.

But he like does a classic villain thing and fills the room with gas.

We love a room that fills with gas.

Classic villain shit.

Okay, I'm getting a closer look, though, at Chen Li's costume.

Holy shit, this thing is gorgeous.

It's like lace almost.

And she's got like goth, like gauntlets with like black leather and the spikes.

It's rad.

But I just wanted to say before we get off the costume thing, please.

Raul,

is it Julia or Julia?

Raul Julia, I think it's Raul Julia.

His costumes, when he whipped his cape back, it revealed itself as like a red,

almost sleeping bag-like material.

Does anyone remember what I'm talking about?

Gore-Tex.

Well, it was like it was like padded.

It was like looking like it was almost sleep bag material, but it made him look big and strong.

And now I'm realizing about the story you said about him being ill.

That was a brilliant movie.

Yeah, I think they maybe were trying to pat him up and stuff like that.

He looked big and unintimidating in that costume.

I mean, Bison in the games is like Jean-Claude Van Damme style, like size, right?

Like super buff, very, very muscly.

So when I first saw Raul Julia playing this role, I was like, huh, they went with a skinny guy for Bison.

So I think the costume really was doing a lot of work to try to make him look more physically imposing.

Yeah, and it worked.

I thought it was really cool costume, but also his performance is so intimidating.

It is.

I was truly scared of him I was like this is a scary fucking villain and I didn't even need him to fight anyone but I think it's cool that he did

so yeah so we're kind of like we're coming up on the final battle here Van Dam like says fuck you to the UN they everybody gets in these like battle boats and like speeds to like Bison's lair and

Matt get the I know you said you only wanted to play the bad future tech scene bad movie texting once but you need to play it again for this

in the battle boat

Van Dam has a little VCR, and he puts in a tape of him and his buddy Charlie fucking around like in better days

and watches it while he's going to the battle.

Just to obviously like remind the audience of the emotional stakes, right?

But how crazy!

Like, first of all, keep your eyes on the fucking water road, Van Dam.

Don't watch a home video of you and your buddy, and then they pull back, and other people are in the boat with him.

So they're like, other people having to watch him remember his buddy.

It's so fucking psychotic.

Big film tech.

There you go.

A boat with a VCR where you can watch your whole movies.

It's a luxury boat.

It's a luxury boat.

If I were an orca, I would eat the shit out of that boat.

Oh my god, yeah.

It's fun to eat.

And then watch a VCR.

And then, yeah, watch, yeah, watch a video of home movies of the people you ate and cry

just to make the third act more emotional.

Okay, we're going to talk about the thrilling conclusion of Street Fighter right after this.

You know, we've been doing my brother, my brother, me for 15 years, and

maybe you stopped listening for a while, maybe you never listened, and you're probably assuming three white guys talking for 15 years, I know where this has ended up.

But no.

No, you would be wrong.

We're as shocked as you are that we have not fallen into some sort of horrific scandal or just turned into a big crypto thing.

Yeah, you don't even really know how crypto works.

The only NFTs I'm into are naughty, funny things, which is what we talk about on my brother, my brother, and me.

We serve it up every Monday for you if you're listening.

And if not, we just leave it out back.

It goes rotten.

So check it out on Maximum Fun or wherever you get your podcasts.

We're back.

It's Free with Ads.

We're here with Twitch streamer host extraordinaire Tricia Hirschberger.

We are talking about Street Fighter.

Okay, the third act.

Everybody's on Bison's secret bad guy island.

They're just shooting a bunch of guns.

Cami and Guil start to fight some guys, and this is when people start doing their special moves from the game.

Cami kicks a guy and yells, thrust kick.

And it's like

she yells in the game when you do that move.

I love that convention of yelling out what you're about to do.

Hell yeah.

Well, this is when the movie started for me.

Yeah, I know.

It takes a while to get here.

I was like, all right, we got backflips, we got chop, chop, we got all that stuff kicking.

I know.

It's a real when are they going to get to the fireworks factory situation with this

movie?

But it's but this is genuinely pretty cool.

Everybody kind of just pairs up and fights.

You know, Ryu and Vega finally fight.

Zongif and Ihonda start to fight.

We reveal that Ihonda was a sumo wrestler and Balrog was a boxer, and they both get in their outfits.

Those guys are the best characters.

I swear to God.

They rule so hard.

There's these kind of announcements over the PA

telling the Shadow Lou soldiers to review their health plan benefits.

I feel like this part is also where, so I absolutely adored every time each one of them did their special move.

It gave me such joy in my heart.

But also, I feel like all the cardboard sets that we were referencing earlier all get smooshed during these scenes.

And I loved it.

It was giving fake chair at a wrestling match being smashed over somebody's back.

Like it was that, the entire third act, and I'm here for it.

Yeah, it's a tiny city that Godzilla is stomping in 1967.

You can just, yeah, you can see the rigging, you can see the wires.

For real.

They literally add a Godzilla noise when Zangieef and Yihonda are fighting.

They did.

Yeah, they make a little joke out of it.

Because I think it's because they're in a room that looks like they're destroying a miniature city.

Yes.

But I thought that was very much like, hey, that's perfect for this podcast.

Who loves?

We do love a Godzilla star.

Godzilla.

Godzilla.

Yeah.

Also,

you know, everyone kind of gets their costume from the game.

We mentioned this.

Where does Balrog get his boxing gloves?

He just has boxing gloves in one scene.

Anyway.

I know.

I was thinking the same thing, and I thought, is he a character that just has boxing gloves?

Because that doesn't feel like street fighting to me.

That feels like

street fighting.

It's got to be bare knuckle and like kicking and punching.

But I haven't really watched the game.

I don't know much about street fighting.

He does have boxing gloves in the game.

Oh, boxing gloves in the game.

He also was supposed to be called M.

Bison.

The character Balrog was supposed to be who M.

Bison is now.

I believe

they got in trouble because it was too close.

They clearly, they modeled him off of Mike Tyson.

And they were worried Mike Tyson was going to sue them.

Yes.

Yeah.

So,

you know, that's just a little bit of a title.

Well, they could have called him Bashless Blay or something.

so instead they were like let's

just switch instead

they go deep in the minds of moria and they're like this is fine i got it there's like a huge talking fan somewhere in there i know yeah if we're worried about being sued let's name him after a famous literary character instead

fucking crazy um yeah so this maid fight is pretty cool um yeah it's it's fan dam uh versus uh versus rau julia rau julia like they think he dies, but then this computer injects all of this

adrenaline into him, and he gets all these weird powers.

This is fucking cool.

He had a second life, dude.

Yeah,

you got to know that he has an extra life.

It said continue 10.

Oh, yeah.

Nine, eight, and then boom.

Oh, yeah.

He gets an extra life.

And yeah, there's also one point in the movie where he's shooting mines at the boats using like the controller from the game, and that's when we get game over.

Oh,

there it is.

When they broke out the arcade cabinet controls, I I lost it.

I lost it.

I loved it.

I know.

So good.

I know.

That's such a fun little detail.

Yeah, so you know, but

he eventually

beats up in Bison.

Everybody runs out of the thing.

The thing explodes because the thing always explodes.

The thing always has a self-destruct thing for some reason.

Freeze frame.

And then they freeze frame for the camera.

Fucking saved by the bell stop.

I just want to hear Jitterbug.

We do need to talk a little bit about the music in this movie.

Over the closing credits, we get this very generic soft rock song that doesn't fit.

But there's another song from this movie I think we should play before we do the hunk watch.

Because it was 1990 fucking four, MC Hammer wrote a song for this movie.

No.

Maybe didn't write it.

Maybe had a song and they put it in the movie.

It is called Straight to My Feet, and the other artist on it is Deion Sanders, the football player.

That's Deion Sanders.

That's Deion Sanders.

There's a video for it that a lot of the cast is in, including Van Dam.

You have to watch this on YouTube, but I think

before we do Hunk Watch, let's play a little bit of the MC Hammer track for this movie, Straight to My Feet.

this pump like mold flat fires.

Pulling it higher.

The roof's on fire.

The homies, it ran fire.

And it rules, doesn't it?

It rules.

It kind of rules.

It's pretty good, actually.

Not the roof's on fire.

It's good.

It's not fair.

It's not fair.

Yes, please, if you do anything, watch some clips of Rhyme.

What does it have to do with this movie?

Nothing.

It doesn't need to have anything to do with this movie.

It's just cool.

Beat does rhyme with street beat rhymes with street

and you use your feet to kick so there's a little connection there um yes it's very good um yeah i do miss i do like it from this era when they had a song over the credits that was the plot of the movie i think oh yeah uh it was a wonderful time in movies i mean while julia was in the adams family movie and they had woo the adams family there they wanted to

play what they want to play that's right the adams family yeah um well yeah, that is Street Fighter.

Before we rank the movie on a scale of one to ten super loud commercials, we got to do the hunk watch.

It's hunk watch.

This is the part where we talk about who we think the ultimate hunk of the movie is.

I suspect Emily and I are in agreement on this.

I'm going Zangif, right?

Not only is the guy a total hunk, great Mohawk hairstyle, and nails all of his jokes.

He's just so funny.

He's so funny.

Yeah, I like him a lot, too.

Any Any other thoughts on who the hunks of this movie are?

Hunk can mean, hunk can be anyone or anything.

Yeah, I was going to say, I'm new to this.

Are there like requirements that make a hunk?

I think Godzilla has been a hunk, as has The Blob.

So,

you know.

Okay, then I'm going to give it to Raul Julia for that performance.

That's

the movie for me.

Again, that's where I was at.

That was my secondary hunk for real because I just, he's that character.

I want him to slap me in the face and spit in my mouth.

You know what I mean?

Okay, yes, okay.

But the other guy I want to marry and like, you know, you want to settle down with Zangief?

I want to settle down with the other guy.

Oh, okay.

So to be clear, you want Ral Julia to spit in your mouth, not Zangief.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

Zangief would just be, he's a golden retriever type thing.

He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You spit in his mouth.

That's how that goes.

But I mean, you know, listen, a lot of hunks in this movie.

Yeah, we've mentioned Kylie Minogue.

We've mentioned Ming Na Wen.

I mean,

Jean-Claude Van Damme is the lead of this movie.

Pretty hate.

Tricia, can I ask, like, what is it about Raul Julia's character that does it for you in this?

Oh, for me, it's about the totally elaborate.

No,

it's about the fully committed to the bit

performance.

Like, there's no question in his mind.

He's made the choice and he is going for it 3,000%.

And I'm here for that.

Ah, okay.

Yeah, it is.

It's a talent boner.

It's a talent boner.

Oh, yeah.

Ooh, that's a really good term, actually.

Talent boner.

I know.

Yeah, I mean,

that is a very good term, a very useful term.

It's like when you're like, yeah.

Okay, let's do this.

Let's take a minute.

Let's all see if we can get rid of our talent boners.

Come back and we'll rank the movie.

All right, we're over 70 episodes into our show.

Let's learn everything.

So let's do a quick progress check.

Have we learned about quantum physics?

Yes, episode 59.

We haven't learned about the history of gossip yet, have we?

Yes, we have.

Same episode, actually.

Have we talked to Tom Scott about his love of roller coasters?

Episode 64.

So how close are we to learning everything?

Bad news.

We still haven't learned everything yet.

Oh, we're ruined!

No, no, no, it's good news as well.

There is still a lot to learn.

Woo!

I'm Dr.

Ella Hubber.

I'm regular Tom Lum.

I'm Caroline Roper, and on Let's Learn Everything, we learn about science and a bit of everything else too.

And although we haven't learned everything yet, I've got a pretty good feeling about this next episode.

Now we are going to rank Street Fighter on a scale of 1 to 10 Super Loud Commercials.

Tricia, you're our guest.

You were so nice to come and watch this movie with us.

What did you think?

1 to 10.

All right.

You know what?

I'm going to give it a six and hear me out.

Yes.

I love the fan service.

Like,

at the bare minimum, what does this movie need to be?

It needs to make the fans happy.

Including like the actual arcade controls in there to fire the missiles, including everybody's special moves.

And the costumes were so good and reminiscent, if not a copy of some of the characters in-game outfits.

Like it was just.

I think the fan service was A-plus, and I love like a crap action movie.

I'm here for that.

So I just, I loved how silly it is.

I loved some of the over-the-top performances, Raul Julia being the standout, Ming Nguen being awesome.

And so as much as like overall, this movie is not a good movie.

Like, don't get me wrong, this is not a good movie.

But it was an enjoyable watch as someone that loves the Street Fighter franchise.

So I'm going to give it a six out of 10.

Okay.

Matt, what do you think?

You'll go next.

I'm giving it a nine.

Okay.

I love this movie.

Upon rewatch, I loved it even more.

It was like one of those things where I thought I was going to hate it now that I am an adult, but I just was absolutely in love with it.

Uh, it didn't get a 10 because Dalsim didn't do Yoga Flame.

You should have done Yoga Flame.

A fucking nine?

Are you kidding me?

Yeah, well, I mean, we all have opinions, Emily.

Some people like I know you have opinions.

Some people like

some people like Godfather 2, Barf.

Some people like Radioheads, suck my dick.

We're re-litigating some old arguments.

All right, okay.

All I'm saying, I'm just gonna shock.

Oh, I just, I'm like really shocked that you made this a nine.

Like, it's just, I feel like it's hard to get you to do a nine.

And I think you're, you're getting cheap, Matt.

No, no, this was, it truly has everything to do with ease of watch as I was watching it.

It was like, I think as a kid, I enjoyed the fan service.

And as an adult, I enjoyed how silly

and how good of a time everyone was having, including Van Dam, who you could tell was just like geeked out on cocaine.

And I was like, everyone's having fun.

And just knowing the backstory with it being Raul Julia's last movie and watching him trip.

Oh, you're pulling that, are you?

No, I'm sorry, but it was like, it was truly wonderful for me to watch as an adult.

And I was like, I haven't enjoyed a movie this much in a while.

All right.

Don't really make us prove our opinions on this podcast.

Tricia, I just want you to know.

But this is a big moment to me.

anyway i'm gonna go next yes emily

i was gonna give it a seven wow well there we go like i i got very frustrated by how long it took to get to the street fighting you're right that's a viable note it's a viable note what i came here for and it was like raw julia is doing the fighting with his acting everyone else Fucking get to it.

Like,

it's your fault.

But once it got going, it was really fun.

And, of course, it checks off the being on in the background at a party

like vibe.

It would be good for that.

It would be good for that.

Yeah.

So I, as I mentioned, I was really disappointed when I saw this as a kid and like just haven't, you know, didn't revisit it because of that.

And I was like, okay, well, we've kind of got to watch Street Finder for this thing.

This is, you know, people want us to watch it.

We're going to do it.

I had so much fun.

I had so much fucking, I laughed at the joke.

I laughed at how bad it was.

I laughed at the jokes.

I made a fucking veggie burger.

I ate it while I watched the movie.

I had the night of my goddamn life.

It was,

this movie is a blast.

It's a bad movie.

Let's make note.

I don't think anybody's saying it's not.

But it is, it is like, I think, I think it is a quintessential bad movie.

I think it is like, it is up there with like, it's up there with birdemic.

It's kind of in the pantheon of like fun to watch.

Oh my God, bad movies.

And yeah, but it also has some legitimate great stuff.

I mean, all the actors we mentioned who are doing a good job.

And yeah, some of the fighting is actually kind of cool.

I think if you...

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I don't know.

I think, I just, I think it's a blast.

I'm going to go eight on this for me.

All right.

I'm really glad I re-watched it and got us

a good opinion.

Can you do me a big favor?

Yeah.

Go on IMDB and put up a review that was like, I laughed, I made a veggie burger.

I had a great night.

Yeah.

The night of my life.

The

The night of my life.

I believe the quote.

Yeah.

It's an amazing review.

That's the kind of review.

Do I need a more exciting life?

Maybe.

Maybe that's what we've proved here tonight.

Totally.

But I would encourage all of our fans to also leave fun reviews like that, but with five stars.

Yes.

Yeah, five stars.
