0:03
uh movie called Freaky Tales believe it
0:06
or not that stars well does not star
0:09
Pedro Pascal He is part of an ensemble
0:13
of actors including believe it or not
0:15
Too Short Angus Cloud as Travis and Tom
0:20
Hanks as a video store
0:22
employee Uh this is a movie set in 1987
0:26
in Oakland California It is directed by
0:29
Ryan Fleck and Anna Bowden co-directors
0:32
on this part comedy part action part
0:38
uh weird sort of um intersecting short
0:43
stories about a day in Oakland
0:47
California with an NBA star and there's
0:51
just weirdness happening all over the
0:53
place Um uh Pedro Pascal's character he
0:58
lost his wife Clint He's going through
1:02
something It's just it's very rooted in
1:05
the time in terms of the music And I I
1:09
can't I mean I can go on and describe
1:11
the events There's violence There are
1:15
there are scrapes between rival gangs
1:18
and some of them are the Nazis and I
1:21
mean actual skin head Nazis with
1:24
swastika tattoos in their like the ones
1:27
I knew when I was a kid when people
1:30
referred to Nazis That's who I think of
1:32
not like people that wear red hats okay
1:35
real ones um that were that hated people
1:39
and would start fights like they existed
1:42
in Detroit where I grew up uh on the
1:44
east side Long story I won't get into it
1:47
but this is a very smart fun
1:51
uh film uh focused on a series of
1:54
characters of which Pedro Pascal is one
1:58
It gets violent There is a samurai sword
2:02
Um people get into it ri the rival gang
2:04
thing in the beginning that that opens
2:06
the kind of it's like these intersecting
2:09
short stories kind of like Magnolia if
2:12
you like that movie by Paul Thomas
2:15
Anderson And it it it has a vibe that I
2:20
can only describe as very much like The
2:22
Warriors If you are a fan of the
2:24
Warriors which is a a highly underrated
2:27
movie I love that movie It's very
2:31
uh that film and this is definitely
2:34
takes inspiration from that Uh Ben
2:37
Mendelson is a foil in this He's like an
2:41
a corrupt cop uh with a shotgun doing
2:44
not so good things And um it's just a
2:48
very good weird indie movie that is
2:52
character-based with intersecting short
2:54
stories that get violent and funny and
2:57
ironic and a standout performance from
3:00
uh Xi Young U as a young woman named
3:04
Tina and uh she was very good in the
3:07
film She's a uh she's part of the gang
3:10
to go after the Nazis but it's very much
3:14
a set in the 80s It's also involves
3:17
mixtapz I mean we should just you know
3:19
what we should do we should watch the
3:21
trailer because I think the trailer for
3:24
this movie are we do we do a react
3:26
reaction to this no we haven't Yeah it's
3:30
this I really I got sucked in by the
3:34
trailer It's from Lionsgate We should
3:36
just we should just we should just watch
3:39
um uh and we do have on our YouTube
3:43
channel for members only I filmed the
3:46
Q&A from this at a screening of it Let's
3:49
watch the trailer because I'm really
3:53
tired And also I want to share this with
3:56
you I want to have some Look most movies
4:00

4:05

4:09
Minecraft We need some
4:11
hope So this movie and we'll we'll see a
4:15
trailer for another movie There are good
4:18
films that are playing but there's
4:20
smaller indie movies that are not
4:22
everywhere Check this out Am I sharing
4:25
it now yes you are I see All right Alan
4:35
The underdog believes he can do the
4:37
impossible Defeat the bully Sell enough
4:40
mixtapz to get out of the
4:43
hood I can say with certainty this
4:46
underdog has seen his last day
4:51
Yo wait hold up We got to take it from
4:57
We got one more job for you Sleepy Floyd
5:01
Warriors point guard His house is going
5:03
to be empty on game night He's got a
5:05
vault full of ancient Asian
5:08
artifacts Yesterday was the last job I
5:12
did it I'm done You're done When we say
5:22
you Open your eyes What happened next
5:25
has been debated over the years Open
5:28
your eyes But this is the tale as I know
5:39
Did you see that yeah That's so rad
5:43
You don't expect it Hi I'm Sleepy Floyd
5:50
Floyd's out there slicing people up with
6:00
wasn't every day a story like this hit
6:02
the town There's too many of them That's
6:08
For those who live through
6:10
it it became the stuff of legends
6:25
What happened here you [ __ ] with the
6:38
I don't know Pedro looks like a big part
6:39
of this movie He's not That's what's
6:42
weird Like it really is ensemble He is
6:46
onethird of the movie maybe So please
6:48
don't be turned off by the fact that
6:50
Pedro's in it They overused him in the
6:54
trailer to make it look like he's the
6:55
lead He is not It is um an ensemble film
6:59
like a like I said a series of short
7:02
stories that intersect based on
7:05
different characters and Sleepy Floyd is
7:08
the sort of thread So um I recommend it
7:12
give it like a seven and a half out of
7:14
10 And it's uh what indie movies do best
7:18
So um and I do like the fact that it's
7:20
very much Warriors inspired
