They hired him because when the two were in No Country For Old Men, Josh Brolin was able to do a spot on TLJ impression and became known for it. And just so happened that he can pull off looking like a young get version of him too! 😂
You mentioning it right now is the first time I actually realized it, but this is perfectly accurate! In other films where an actor's been replaced, I always felt like the tiniest bit of disconnect, but with Brolin and Jones, the transition pretty damn smooth.
Griffin showed J's dad J's life and thats why he agreed to help them. When J asks his dad what Griffin showed him, he just replies that he showed him how important he is
The quote "Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to" really is a great bit of foreshadowing. That ending hits HARD and you clearly both felt it!
@@DavidLopez-qi8hbI came here to say the same thing. It’s Mike Colter. They should watch all the Netflix Marvel shows. Have they watched Daredevil? That first hall scene alone makes it worth it.
In case you guys didn't notice the family that lives in K's apartment, the mom is the same woman from MIB 2 that J setup for his previous partner when he neuralyzed him. J told him to get married and have a bunch of kids, so J just met his family 😂
You can’t have that one without the first one, obviously, and the second builds a bit more K and J’s relationship, but this is absolutely my favourite of the franchise. My new favorite moment in history is now Simone being completely smitten by J’s dad 🤣😂🤣 His name is Mike Colter, he plays Luke Cage in the marvel Netflix’s shows (Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and The Defenders) after gaining some (a lot) muscle mass.
Mike is almost obnoxiously handsome. It's really quite annoying. Look, you can be handsome, but do you HAVE to be talented as well? That's just selfish.
I'm so glad you guys watched this. Josh Brolin absolutely nailed it in this one. He played K brilliantly. The ending stomps me right in the feels. When his voice cracks trying to explain to young James, it hurts. Love this movie, my favorite of the franchise.
What I like is that when going back and watching the first movie, nothing contradicts or doesn’t make sense. And the relationship between J & K has been consistent throughout the entire series. The reveal doesn’t rely on setting up false stakes or forcing a narrative that doesn’t suit the characters. Because, it totally tracks that K would absolutely watch over J as he grew up! He watched over his former girlfriend from a distance all those years. I can totally see him checking in on J like a surrogate son.
It actually makes a lot of sense, and explains how in the first movie he seems eager to hiring J over the more "obvious" choices. He already knows that he will become great, but also exhausted because he understands that it will take a lot of work, to teach him to become that person.
What gets me is the actor who plays Boris the Animal, is also Jermaine from Flight of the Conchords. He was also in What we do in the Shadow and a personal favourite of mine, Tongan Ninja.(2002). That is serious acting range, gawky musical comedian to psychopathic alien.
What I love about the time travel in this movie is that they actually go out of the way to show you how K solved the case first time when J wasn’t there. A lot of other time travel movies ignore that. For example, in Back to the Future, Marty gives Goldie Wilson the idea of being mayor or his mother the idea to name her kid Marty, but that couldn’t have happened the original time. However, in this movie, you can actually see the clues at each crime scene that original K used when he was on his own without J's help. Griff was a great plot device for this too because of his ability to see the alternate versions. Like when he gave the "amazing" clue that led J to figuring out it was referencing the Mets, it just means that when K was alone in the original version, he probably gave him a different clue that K would have been able to figure out that led to the same place. Also, you assumed that when the nerd who gave J the time jump device and said "You were there!" he was referring to present J being in the past, but he wasn't, it was about little kid James. I love how all of the little breadcrumbs add up.
It's also neat how Griff isn't just some all-knowing entity that is conveniently unhelpful, he CAN see all possible outcomes, but because of so many variables he can't determine which is going to happen until just before it does. They did the same with Mantis in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" game.
Omg, yeah i always keep saying there is an incomplete raw timeline whenever a time loops gets created in shows/movies. Things didnt happened exactly the same way but with the same conclusion.
The joke there was that K had flashy thinged him already earlier in the movie. Remember when J was in the Chinese restaurant & K gave him the card? He had already flashed him. He specifically asked 'who are you?" to K.
Simones intro was a meme about one of the extras in the lord of the rings. that person is Bret McKenzie. the villan in this move is played by Jemaine Clement. those two actors are in a band called the flight of the conchords which spun off into a short lived tv series. im sure that was a comicidence but it does make me think that its a sign that these two need to watch The Fliught of the Conchords series. Edit: like two seconds after posting this she mentioned flight of the chochords but didnt agknowledge the Bret McKenzie reference she made.
This is why the third one is the best out of them, it’s so good and adds so much more meaning and depth to the trilogy. The actors were amazing too, especially Brolin
this is a Michael Stuhlbarg appreciation post. such a charming Griffin. he stars in my favorite Coen brothers flick of all time - A Serious Man. he's got some serious acting range. i dig how Luca Guadagnino puts him in a lot of his films.
Rip Torn (Zed) wasn’t in this movie because recently he had gotten super drunk and broke into a bank at night thinking it was his home. He was found asleep inside with his shoes off and by the door. He also had a loaded gun on him at the time. When woken up by police he was kinda upset and asked why they were in his house. He was 3 times over the alcohol limit for driving.
As much as people say the conclusion for J joing MIB is because K watched over J growing up and assuming it was a closed time loop i would argue that it isn't a closed time loop. The guy saying to J before he goes back to the past that he was there, in my opinion is actually refering to little James being at K's death. In the altered past that K died James wasn't neutralize and so his altered memory were causing the temporal headaches due to it being a major event. In the original timeline older Boris was never back at the space launch. We can also tell agent J wasn't there because Boris did end up going to Lunar Max. This means K did get the arknet up without J in the orgial timeline. The altered timeline before J goes back also shows up J got into MIB on his own with a different partner recruiting him during that timeline events of the first movie. I would assume the events of the second movie didn't happen in that timeline because it was K that hid the Light on earth and wouldn't be around to do that. Once J return to the present we have to remember that Boris breaking out of Lunar Max never happened so in other words we can assume the J from that timeline disappeared at that moment when K says that J hung up on him on the phone so J would be able to return to the future with out 2 of him being present.
Michael Stuhllbarg, who plays Griffin, has been in a lot of stuff. I have seen him in the MCU Dr. Strange films as Dr. Nicodemus West, as actor Edward G. Robinson in Trumbo, Congressman George Yeaman in Lincoln, and other films. Hands down...this is my favorite role I have seen him in. Griffin is my favorite character in this MiB movie, very closely followed by Young K. This is the best MiB movie...hands down!!!
-23:13 Simone that is Michael Colter. Probably most known recently for being Luke Cage in the Netflix series for Marvel, now on Disney+. He was also in Million Dollar Baby. But, not only was he on the tv shows "The Good Wife", "Marvel's Jessica Jones" and "The Defenders", a show I think you may like a lot he was on was called "Evil", which has about 4 seasons, I think it is now running on Netflix as well, a CBS tv show. I think this upcoming season will be it's last one...
The first one is a classic, but the best one is definitely this one for me. It's rare a time travel story gets this good. I think you need to see the first one to know Old K enough to fully feel the weight of the secret he kept all these years. I feel when you watch the first one, they hadn't set up the full story of K we learn in this one but it's like I can still believe this movie "Was" already canon. Like he did "found" J, he watched him all his life until he knew it was time to take him into the MIB. Like he knew he had to. All in all, This is how you do a sequel!
My personal favorite moment in history is always when SImone changes from WTF to OMG in a split of a second! Like: he is so attractive... oh no, wtf and then .... 😢O 😭M 🤧G (and I truly love George`s laughter!😅)
If you want more of the "beautiful man," who played the Colonel, that is Mike Coulter, who (among other things) was Luke Cage, and currently starring in Evil.
It's very appropriate that you started the introduction with "Frodo is great, who is that?" because that's a reference to a background character in Lord of the Rings played by Bret McKenzie, the other half of Flight of the Concords. 😂 Also, Simone, you might want to check out "Luke Cage" sometime...
I love that the fact that K neuralizes James as a kid adds a completely new level to J's question to K in the first movie as they leave the morgue, "Hey, K. Have you ever flashy-thinged me?" Up to that point, we think that the only time he had been neuralized was after the visit to the pawnshop.
Apple pie and cheddar is a great combo. The saltiness of the cheese balances the cinnamon apple sweetness. The most successful candy bars in history add salty and sweet together.

Emma Thompson made her break in revues and sketch shows as part of the wave of alternative comedy in the 1980s, so to many UK viewers, roles such as these seem more like going back to her roots, rather than an incongruous choice for an acclaimed writer and performer.
She appeared in the Young Ones episode where the guys compete in University challenge and plays Miss Money-Sterling alongside Stephen Fry (Lord Snot), Hugh Laurie (Lord Monty) and Ben Elton (Kendal Mintcake) as the posh kids from Footlights College Oxbridge. "Daddy sends hugs"
Also "Alfresco" is a British sketch comedy television series starring Robbie Coltrane, Ben Elton, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Siobhan Redmond and Emma Thompson, produced by Granada Television and broadcast by ITV from 1 May 1983 to 2 June 1984. Running for two series, it totalled 13 episodes and was named Alfresco (from the Italian al fresco, meaning "in the fresh air") because, unusually for a comedy sketch show of the time, it was shot on location rather than in a studio.
Fun facts: The women in K's apartment is the pie waitress J set his partner up with in the second movie. As for the huge picture of Frank on J's wall the pug who played him passed away.

Back in 2012 me, my dad and my brother went to the movie theater to watch a movie. The choice was either this or avengers. We choose this. I like avengers, but I'm really glad I got to watch this with my dad on the big screen.
Wait, this is so crazy! Figwit is one of the guys from Flight of the Concords! And Boris the animal is the other member of Flight of the Concords! What are the chances that she would mention figwit in this exact episode 😂
Soap used to have lye in it. This simple ingredient caused people's skin to age at a much quicker rate than the rest of their body. As such, Sean Connery was 31 when he filmed the first James Bond, and by today's standards, he would look 45. So hiring a man in his 40s today to play a 29 year old in the 60s actually makes a lot of sense.
1. Josh Brolin playing a younger Tommy Lee Jones was fantastic. 2. After this one it makes it even funnier in the first movie when J asked K, "Have you ever flashy thinged me?"
The ending reveal has the same effect on me as the mom and son scene in The Sixth Sense and Forrest Gump seeing his son for the first time. I always tear up watching those scenes.
Apple pie with a slice of cheese on top isn't super common, but it is an established dish. Also, put apple slices on a cheese sandwich next time you try one. And a little bit of mayonnaise.
The HBO series "From the Earth to the Moon" which chronicals the Apollo launches has an episode where there train and use the escape cable cars in case of emergency. It is quite the series and is very well done.
In Britain we often have a piece of cheese with apple pie. In fact there is a rhyme about it - Apple pie without some cheese is like a hug without a squeeze.
16:15 When I was a kid, I remember my grandmother had a cross-stich thing hung on the wall in her kitchen that read , "Apple pie without some cheese, is like a kiss without a squeeze." It's been over 45 years since I first remember reading that and have still never tried eating apple pie with a side of cheese.
This was by far the best reaction I have seen to this movie. This is one of my most favorite movie franchises. And the 3rd one being my favorite of the 3. Your reaction matched mine and it was so great. I love your reactions so much!!! Keep on doing what you are doing...it's definitely making people's days! Thank you!
My favorite of the MiB movies, absolutely love everything about this one, Josh Brolins portrayal of K, Boris the Animal, the guy who could see into all futures, the twist at the end. Movie was amazing ❤️
Everybody either forgets or doesn't know Emma Thompson started out in standup... Griffin the Archanan is played by Michael Stuhlbarg, who plays Agent Halpern in "Arrival"; Agent Halpern is the obnoxious guy in charge of the US team trying to establish communication with the aliens. By the time MIB3 was made, Frank the pug had passed away. The huge photo portrait over J's bed and the background billboard showing a 'singing pug' are lovely nods to his memory. I'm going to sneak in a film recommendation here: another Will Smith film, co-starring with his son Jaden Smith (Jaden is the star, not Will), "After Earth".
50 years ago I was working at a coffee shop and an elderly patron use to say, “Apple pie without the cheese is like a hug without the squeeze.” He was such a sweet man.
Mike Colter is the name of the actor playing J's dad. If Simone really likes him, you guys should react to Jessica Jones and Luke Cage sometime. He stars in there as Marvel hero Luke Cage.
Ooh, ooh, I understood that LotR reference at the start of the video! The dark haired guy that says "My Lady, we cannot delay!" FIGWIT for short! I'm so happy I finally got one! 😂
Boris the Animal is played by New Zealand singer/actor Jemaine Clement. The actor playing Griffin is also in Boardwalk Empire. Agent O is played by Emma Thompson and Alice Eve. 1969 is the year of the first moon landing at Cape Canaveral, Florida
The wiggle, the eyes and the smile to the machine gun rattle of the patron names: the perfect way to finish an episode from Cinebinge. Thanks as always for another great watch.
I remember being surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie, then, in the credits I saw the writer was Etan Cohen. -Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, American Dad, Idiocracy, Tropic Thunder, he doesn't miss!
Josh Brolin’s impersonation of Tommy Lee Jones is spectacular. He’s got the mannerisms down perfectly
@@coldflamebluedragon196 Maybe because he's a method actor. A kind of acting talent that is beyond you.
It's because he's a method actor. A kind of talent that is beyond your appreciation.

@@jlovestolaugh9308 Who shat in your breakfast this morning?
When I watched this as a kid I didn't even recognize that this was a different actor I thought it was just Tommy Lee Jones in makeup lol.
You know Josh nailed it because you don't notice him after a few minutes. You just think of him as K.
You mentioning it right now is the first time I actually realized it, but this is perfectly accurate! In other films where an actor's been replaced, I always felt like the tiniest bit of disconnect, but with Brolin and Jones, the transition pretty damn smooth.
Griffin showed J's dad J's life and thats why he agreed to help them. When J asks his dad what Griffin showed him, he just replies that he showed him how important he is
I think he even showed the dad his own death. Remember when he says "I wish I could..” when offered the position at the MIB by K? Yyyyep
I think he also showed that he was his son giving more meaning to the line "how important you are"
@@VoidVintage I think he said "I wish I could" cause he has a son waiting for him. So he couldn't join them leaving his son behind.
"Okay. I stole this one...but not because I'm black!" is one of the funniest lines in the franchise. Gets me every time! 😂😂😂
Bad time to be preaching about racial profiling, standing next to a car you just stole.
J's father also got to realize the great man his son would eventually become. "He told me how important you are."
That ending made this movie ten times better when I first saw it. I never thought this trilogy would go that deep.
The quote "Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to" really is a great bit of foreshadowing. That ending hits HARD and you clearly both felt it!
Mike Colter role is so small, but he brings so much to it. Rewatching it and hearing him tell J how important he is. Is so incredibly sweet.
hahah Simone doing the "Oh no please don't die you're so sexy" meme, but in real life.
That's a younger Luke Cage.

Josh Brolin absolutely NAILED the impression of Tommy Lee Jones. He was brilliant in this.
This movie has one of my favorite quotes, “I’m better than me”
"Good plan, Didn't work" is my favorite quote from this movie. I tend to say it quite frequently. 😄

She appeared in the Young Ones episode where the guys compete in University challenge and plays Miss Money-Sterling alongside Stephen Fry (Lord Snot), Hugh Laurie (Lord Monty) and Ben Elton (Kendal Mintcake) as the posh kids from Footlights College Oxbridge.

"Alfresco" is a British sketch comedy television series starring Robbie Coltrane, Ben Elton, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Siobhan Redmond and Emma Thompson, produced by Granada Television and broadcast by ITV from 1 May 1983 to 2 June 1984. Running for two series, it totalled 13 episodes and was named Alfresco (from the Italian al fresco, meaning "in the fresh air") because, unusually for a comedy sketch show of the time, it was shot on location rather than in a studio.
Fun facts: The women in K's apartment is the pie waitress J set his partner up with in the second movie.
As for the huge picture of Frank on J's wall the pug who played him passed away.
Back in 2012 me, my dad and my brother went to the movie theater to watch a movie. The choice was either this or avengers. We choose this. I like avengers, but I'm really glad I got to watch this with my dad on the big screen.
Wait, this is so crazy! Figwit is one of the guys from Flight of the Concords! And Boris the animal is the other member of Flight of the Concords! What are the chances that she would mention figwit in this exact episode 😂
Omg I just read up on who Figwit is and then Simone greets us with this opening 😅
Soap used to have lye in it. This simple ingredient caused people's skin to age at a much quicker rate than the rest of their body. As such, Sean Connery was 31 when he filmed the first James Bond, and by today's standards, he would look 45. So hiring a man in his 40s today to play a 29 year old in the 60s actually makes a lot of sense.
1. Josh Brolin playing a younger Tommy Lee Jones was fantastic.
2. After this one it makes it even funnier in the first movie when J asked K, "Have you ever flashy thinged me?"
This was a lot better than 2. I was worried about Brolin, but it worked out.
re-watching MIB after MIB3 it's remarkable how well the 3rd movie slots into the first, like that was the plan fromt he beginning.
The ending reveal has the same effect on me as the mom and son scene in The Sixth Sense and Forrest Gump seeing his son for the first time. I always tear up watching those scenes.
Boris with the bandana looks like Randy Savage oooo yeah 🤟🤟
I love how this movie shows why K really wanted James to become an agent.

Emma Thompson briefly steals the show
Apple pie with a slice of cheese on top isn't super common, but it is an established dish. Also, put apple slices on a cheese sandwich next time you try one. And a little bit of mayonnaise.
Apple slices in tuna or chicken salad is excellent.
This thumbnail will haunt my dreams forever.
The HBO series "From the Earth to the Moon" which chronicals the Apollo launches has an episode where there train and use the escape cable cars in case of emergency. It is quite the series and is very well done.
Legion on FX had one of the most interesting 'old/young villain meets themself' confrontations. Which oddly enough, also starred Jamaine Clement.
When young K flashy things young J it adds another level to J asking in the first movie "You ever flashy thing me?" Lol
I was expecting simone to be crying at the end... but George also crying that just shows how good the writing is
In Britain we often have a piece of cheese with apple pie. In fact there is a rhyme about it -
Apple pie without some cheese is like a hug without a squeeze.
Stop lying
well fuck I don’t remember if I ever fully watched this movie but I’m bawling at the end, damn.
16:15 When I was a kid, I remember my grandmother had a cross-stich thing hung on the wall in her kitchen that read , "Apple pie without some cheese, is like a kiss without a squeeze."
It's been over 45 years since I first remember reading that and have still never tried eating apple pie with a side of cheese.
That woman will always be the voice in Harold Crick’s head to me. What a wonderful movie
I wish that more reactors would watch Stranger Than Fiction.
@@nthdgree5078 yes agreed
Oh you HAVE to do Doctor Who.
Especially the Weeping Angels, they still scare the shit out of me every time, and I'm now a pensioner.
This was by far the best reaction I have seen to this movie. This is one of my most favorite movie franchises. And the 3rd one being my favorite of the 3. Your reaction matched mine and it was so great. I love your reactions so much!!! Keep on doing what you are doing...it's definitely making people's days! Thank you!
I can't believe you guys haven't done What We Do In the Shadows
My favorite of the MiB movies, absolutely love everything about this one, Josh Brolins portrayal of K, Boris the Animal, the guy who could see into all futures, the twist at the end.
Movie was amazing ❤️
Everybody either forgets or doesn't know Emma Thompson started out in standup...
Griffin the Archanan is played by Michael Stuhlbarg, who plays Agent Halpern in "Arrival"; Agent Halpern is the obnoxious guy in charge of the US team trying to establish communication with the aliens.
By the time MIB3 was made, Frank the pug had passed away. The huge photo portrait over J's bed and the background billboard showing a 'singing pug' are lovely nods to his memory.
I'm going to sneak in a film recommendation here:
another Will Smith film, co-starring with his son Jaden Smith (Jaden is the star, not Will), "After Earth".
50 years ago I was working at a coffee shop and an elderly patron use to say, “Apple pie without the cheese is like a hug without the squeeze.” He was such a sweet man.
Some say that all griff sees now is the slap
MIB 1: "K, have you ever flashy thinged me?"
Mike Colter is the name of the actor playing J's dad. If Simone really likes him, you guys should react to Jessica Jones and Luke Cage sometime. He stars in there as Marvel hero Luke Cage.
There aren't many men I would call sexy but Luke Cage is definitely one of them and Simone will be very happy with his appearances in Jessica Jones. 😉
He's also lovely as David in the series Evil ❤ Pleasantly surprised when I realized it was him.
And the fighter Clint Eastwood was initially training in Million Dollar Baby
Watch Mr. Nobody. It is an entire movie that follows a guy who can see every possible future through 3 versions of his life.
Ooh, ooh, I understood that LotR reference at the start of the video! The dark haired guy that says "My Lady, we cannot delay!" FIGWIT for short! I'm so happy I finally got one! 😂
Boris the Animal is played by New Zealand singer/actor Jemaine Clement. The actor playing Griffin is also in Boardwalk Empire. Agent O is played by Emma Thompson and Alice Eve. 1969 is the year of the first moon landing at Cape Canaveral, Florida
The ending absolutely makes the movie for me. It's lovely.
27:28
That attractive man is named Michael Colter.
Fun fact, he's also in the MCU, he plays Luke Cage in Marvel's Luke Cage and The Defenders
Hey! I got Simone's intro reference...a true rarity. Figwit forever!
The wiggle, the eyes and the smile to the machine gun rattle of the patron names: the perfect way to finish an episode from Cinebinge. Thanks as always for another great watch.
I remember being surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie, then, in the credits I saw the writer was Etan Cohen. -Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, American Dad, Idiocracy, Tropic Thunder, he doesn't miss!
What a beautiful and sad plot twist, perfect ending for the trilogy ❤
