I don’t know why the movie kept saying Leo’s character was hot. He looked like a cabbage patch kid grew up to be a kooky scientist.
Welp
The scary part is at this day and age and political atmosphere I can see this happening. Not exactly but there would be deniers and such
Yea because Leftist governments NEVER lie.
@@Akihito007 it made fun of both sides smh.. u r exactly the ppl they make fun of in the movie 😂😂😂
and people who make everything about politics. Like the people who have to talk about trump all day fof years.
Uhhh yeah … I mean, that’s kind of the point of the film? That’s exactly the beats the move is hitting. It’s just too bad that the movie was so damn heavy handed with its intentions and messages. This could’ve been a smart, subversive comedy a-la The Big Short and it just wasn’t.
The way I cackled at this commentary 😂😂😂😂
I love your movie reviews but I gotta say Joseph's reviews on the hair in films is always a highlight. "Tattered sweater" sent me 🤣
His take on hair, makeup and botox are my favorite. Also accurate because those details take me out of movies too!
@@veganpeace7890 Huge horse veneers always kill me, lol. Incredibly distracting
Can’t lie… I fell asleep after the first hour of watching this film but woke up to its climatic ending and was SHOOK😨🤯😳😅
The movie is talking about climate change. Written pre pandemic and addressing the problems with money in politics and how people don't listen to science. The movie was BANG on.
Thank you! Seems to me some people totally missed the point.
Also to mention just how much modern civilization indulges in the cult of un-enlightened self importance. I think this review kind of reflects that well. Glad you said what you said.
It's also about what it's about. Less than 5% of near-Earth asteroids have been identified and tracked. In reality if this happened we wouldn't even have 6 months to react.
I really enjoyed it too.
@@MiqelDotCom wow I didn't know that
Love the shirt Nick! Again ,like always, you guys always bring it on all the videos.
"Which I thought was a good time to stop this movie" Joseph you always make me laugh!!
Jennifer Lawrence's bangs are definitely a choice!!!
He had me there because I would probably do that too hahaha
Jennifer Lawrence sporting the worst bangs since Courtney Cox in Scream 3.
Jennifer looks very cool and beautiful in this film, I loved her punk scientist look.
So you can tell these reviewers don’t watch dark comedies . To me, Don’t Look Up is a classic dark comedy. The tone is dark, tragic; yet it’s not serious enough, it purposely doesn’t take itself seriously, which is accomplished by taking everything to the extreme. It’s not serious political satire in the details. It kind of remind me of the Death Of Stalin. The overall theme is satirical though. I actually enjoyed it. It was mostly hilarious 😂
You’re right. This was the first dark comedy we’ve seen.
Are you gay and never seen Heathers?
"It looks like she's wearing tape to snatch her face back" I died!!!!!!
The movie was focusing on how we as society live in a fake reality. We are more fascinated by celebrities break ups and not focusing on the real issues in the world.
Joseph you are sooo funny - Cate Blanchett’s teeth 😂🤣. Halloween mail in teeth !
I want to add that after Meryl Streep and everyone else landed on that new planet, I was immediately wondering why they didn’t have younger people on board? Like if they want to reproduce and repopulate then they should’ve put 2,000 young people on board
Good point
It’s a statement about their self-importance, self-centeredness, and selfishness, which doomed the earth and potentially will doom the new plant-if they’re canny enough to survive.
@@neosapienz7885 Narrator: They weren't.
There were 2,000 people on board. There are just over 2,000 billionaires on the planet. How many young billionaires do you know of?
They weren't young because they were all old billionaires.
"Meryl Streeps's hair looked like a bimbo... like a girl's hair who works at Hooters in Texas"....LMBO! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You always make me smile! I hope you never stop doing movie reviews!!
It looked like she stole one of Cersei''s season 1 wigs out the dumpster behind HBO
A bunch of famous people getting Netflix money and phoning it in. No surprise. Can't wait for Netflix to tell us it has the biggest rating of the year!
I think you misinterpreted what that “Last Supper” scene meant in the end. The atmosphere and cinematography of that scene was so well done and somber and it’s like the scientist all gave up and spent their last minutes not dying alone, but being together and chatting about food and coffee because they will never have these things again and the last words Leo DiCaprio says it’s so true “We really did have it all”. And we did.
I don't watch movies. So this channel is good for my life.
I was an extra in this. I’m glad my hair didn’t make your list, it was a frizzy mess in the shots that made the cut 🤣
How cool!
Joseph has never seen Timothee in call me by your name? Hope y'all review it on the podcast someday. 🤞🏾
I’m sure we will.
Nick love your shirt. Hmm I was hopeful about this but when you said Dr Strangelove - I knew that is what I was hoping for ... but that kind of writing doesn't come along very often, if at all. I will check it out with expectations in check...meaning low and well... it's streaming. LOL Thank you for the review!
I love watching your reviews but I really liked this film 🎥 I think it's a really good social commentary. The movie is ridiculous because social media and the fact that people like Bill Gates having such influence is ridiculous.
Woof, those bangs. I love my bangs and all, but I’d go for Bardot over Betty. You guys are always fun to watch ☺️
You never saw Timothee Chalemet in "Call Me By Your Name?"
No but I plan on watching it soon.
I am binging all your reviews and i am all in!
Yasss it’s happening. I would pay top dollar to go see a film with both you. Love your honesty. Digging this countdown!
If you're ever in Los Angeles...
It was written before covid about climate change.
Considering Donald Trump's hair and she is a female Donald Trump, her hair is spot-on.
Every once in a while I come back to this one, because I love how Joseph names people's weird hair and makeup..(tattered sweater will never not be funny) and also to hear you dragggg Tyler Perry. Carry on!
A tattered sweater cut into the shape of a skull😂😂😂😂
"it looks like a tattered sweater that has been cut in the shape of a skull and put on his head!" OMG! I crying! You kill me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I set my reminder 😁
7:18 this is why I ❤️ you Joseph! 🤣🤣🤣🤗
- Just watched the movie. What a big fucking waste of time. I didn't care for the plot and it was way too long for no reason.
- Just sub to the channel really like that you guys just go straight to the plot and don't bullshit like other reviewers.
Love the reviews so funny😊
I love you guys talking about the hair and teeth💖💖💖because really this movie sounds dumb haha
It's actually quiet good , it's not brilliant but it is worth watching
I'd be interested to see your review of Don't Look Now (1973). I'm assuming Nick has seen it but would be interesting to hear both of your perspectives. Bit of a non-sequitur from the film title.
Nick says I’ve seen it, but I don’t remember. I’ll have to revisit. He did review it: www.ioncinema.com/news/disc-reviews/criterion-collection-dont-look-now-blu-ray-review.
The odd hair and super white teeth are intentionally comic.
These guys are funny… love their honest reviews
The Wigs were atrocious!!!!
That is what is happening, i.e. there's extreme droughts & flooding going on worldwide yet rather insignificant political theatre is still considered more important. We're sleep walking into oblivion which isn't much different than the movie. I guess that was their point.
Just saw this tonight and I laughed my ass off. Thanks for the review !
Joseph make nick watch idiocracy
Thanks for the review! You both are so cute!!!! And always spot on with your critiques ❤️
Why thank you 😉
I liked this movie but I agree with your thoughts as well! I DO NOT understand that wig on Rob Morgan. I think Leo’s part was written for Michael Shannon but they found out they could get Leo so they went with him. It felt like Leo was doing his version of the character Michael Shannon played in 9 Perfect Strangers.
It seems like I'm starting to see Michael Shannon in a bunch of movies and TV series lately
I enjoy fun nihilistic stuff like this esp during these chaotic times. Seeking A Friend For The End of The World (highly recommend that one) was a more beautiful version of this concept but I did really like the end dinner scene where they're all just having one last meal with each other which was pretty touching for me at least along with all the interpersonal relationships throughout the film. And once again the government trying to silence people much like the aids epidemic and the beginning of the COVID crisis. I gave it a 7/10
So, Lawrence's and DiCaprio's characters are the only scientists in the ENTIRE world, who have made this discovery? That fact alone is beyond ridiculous. Great job, guys! You always tell it exactly as it is.
No they have other scientists that agree with the numbers…even Russia tried in their own mission.
Uhm this untrue as an astronomer there are waaaay more objects out there than you know or seem to understand. I have several publications for minor planet occultations and trajectories just to reconfirm and refine data. Undergrads can do this too there far more out there than there are astronomers or telescopes/ computers to track that. Sorry you are completely out of your realm with your comment
I think that is part of the joke. You see the people in other countries watching this. It's a world event yet there is nothing about other countries.
This is like a lot of Americans saying that bla bla hoax, dems and libs doing this and that, yet there are more People outside the US that in the US on this planet
Pay better attention next time if you watch it again more scientists saw the same thing .. and no these guys really suck .. well on the review of this movie.. the point they tried to make will have to smack you more than once to get it .. just like the idiots that didn't look up
@@stuyboi888 did you mean dems and repugnant deplorables.. because we are living this shit right now keep looking down and we will remain fucked as a race ..
I think they tried to take the titanic approach haha we have leo and an definitive catastrophic event that will happen at the end...hence the run time
The big tech peter is like Biden and zack combined
Instagram Halloween teeth.😂😂😂
hahaha "a tattered sweater" lol smh
I loved this movie. Watch it in Spanish, the Spanish voiceovers are doing the absolute most.
Will you please review Dune? Because watching these movie reviews is the absolute best.
Why thank you…it may take some work to get Joseph to watch Dune.
@@fishjellyfilmreviews Well, please tell Joseph that I've gotten my wife and all our friends to start watching your reviews. I've been patiently waiting on the Dune review. Please Joseph. Review the movie.
Sigh...another film with talent that should lead to a better product. Sounds like McKay needs to push himself a bit more. I'll stream it but hopes are tempered. Thanks for the quality review!
New subscriber here. “Drowned Harrassed Rat”,,,,,, “Let’s Have a KiKi”, Scissor Sisters. Joseph, are you a fan? Love you guys 😂🤗😂🤗. I’ll be “liking” a lot.
Yes and thank you!
This movie's comedy and absurdity was overshadowed by reality after Trump's administration. I kept finding myself unimpressed by crazy things happening in the movie... I mean... Those things kinda happened in real life.
Is it graphic? Like when the comet hits earth and everyone dies? I want to watch it but blood and gore make me dizzy 🙈
No
10:45 definently agree
Missed the whole point of the movie. We are literally living what they are portraying on screen with climate change.
I was invited to a screening of this on thanksgiving. Hadn't heard of it-- and at first seemed light and like a parody.
But, it really is brilliant. In terms of what it is saying.
Sure, some moments are over the top and almost cringy just like Jonah hill is playing an unfiltered parody of trump's son... one of them... lol.... and could have played it more truthfully. Sure.
And there may be other moments here or there, but overall in terms of theme and message .... really well done.....
The acting takes a moment, but once you get the style & genre of the movie... it'll make sense. And it was consistent, with what actors were doing....meaning they didn't start one way, then all of sudden do something else....
Leo will bring eyes. I only clicked on it bc of Leo. The whole hate Drumf stuff is so played out. Hollywood is full of hypocrites. They loved Drumf until he ran as Republican. Then he became this boogey man. Crazy how one man carried so much power that he drove half a country to lose all ability to grasp reality and no longer believe what they saw. Instead believing what they were told. So bizarre. A movie should be made about that and I’d watch it lol. This one w/ Leo is gonna be at minimum entertaining. JLaw is good too. I’d really like Ana Taylor Joy personally. But I’m sure a he’s prob too young for the spot.
@@babytoshiro7014 well I mean ppl who think that way can’t name a conservative who they don’t think is racist lol. It’s not solely those ppls fault tho. Media and Dems, have done a great job crafting a cultural narrative that says conservative values equate to racism. Therefore if ya support a conservative or oppose Dems, their logic says you’re inherently racist. That strategy worked. It allows racist Dems to hide in plain sight and while their racism will go overlooked. And forces ppl who’re simply conservative valued to defend themselves against being called racist. Drumf is obnoxious, narcissistic, and brash, but he didn’t suddenly become a racist when he ran for office, he became a racist when he ran for office as a Republican lol
@@takemyshirtoffandsingtome2112 admitting that Dems in fact do it is enough. Conservatives don’t hoax themselves like Smollet did bc he couldn’t accept the fact that reality and the world the media told him he’s living in aren’t the same lol. Republicans aren’t perfect by any means, but wanting less government influence, lower taxes, and not caring about a person melatonin is a ideology most ppl don’t have a problem standing behind. In order to get support for more government spending and higher taxes, Democrats position not caring about a persons identity as opposing or discriminating against it. They draw attention to the last in order for them to sweep the former 2 over everyone’s eyes. Ingenious really
Brava girls! Someone actually deconstructed/analyzed the details of this flick without the obvious "yuh, it's a metaphore for our media climate climate change and celebrity culture, duh!"
Refreshing & funny.
Once this movie got past its first hour, I was all on board!
I liked your review, guys!
Make Babylon Desolate Again
You lost me by saying No to a character rapping along to Wu Tang.
I loved this movie, I feel like everything was very purposeful when it contribute hair and teeth a look of people. Found this movie had a lot of truth to it n made fun of itself as well as the audience. Really enjoyed it alot
This was a great movie.
Just watched the movie, the first half was ok, but the second act is a mess. It so unfocused. It seemed weird to have a movie about the end of the world and have it so focused on the US.
Well we live in the US and it's a fuckn joke of a country.. I wouldn't be as funny if we had other nations in it their not that stupid..
@@errolmiller8783 I guess that's the issue. The comedy took from and center over it being a more thoughful satire.
And the comedy didn't land most of the time for me.
do you guys have a list of notes or do you just review off the cuff?
🤷🏾♂️
Loved this film
Funny your brought up sigourney. Didn’t she say Meryl takes all her roles? I think it’s so funny they brought so much attention to birkin bags in the movie.
not a mullet, look up David Spade in Joe Dirt that is a mullet.
A 2 1/2 hour long Hollywood comedy??👐😮
I hate after credit scenes
Guys, normally I love your reviews, but not this one. Two and a half stars? C'mon! "Don't Look Up" is a modern day Dr. Strangelove, a darkly comedic satirical send-up of modern day America that feels scarily real. The dialogue is wickedly funny. Films this smart and significant are few and far between, and deserve more praise, IMHO. Maybe you need to give it another watch. BTW, I thought Jennifer Lawrence's punk scientist was very cool, she was the true heroine of the story.
Perfect movie review!!!
This movie was greenlit before COVID. So it's smart.
COVID politics suddenly made this movie too accurate/on-the-nose.
The movie is JUST OK. I was waiting for a save the day moment and it never happened. We are all fucked. 😃😃😃
Saving the day would have undercut the warning. I was waiting for the movie to click off leaving the ending to the imagination. Like "only YOU can choose how the world ends". But I liked what they did.
Just cause this movie has a good message doesn’t make it good. Awful writing only made sufferable by great actors. Awful pacing and an over reliance on trump presidency diluted the message and dated this movie too much to make it memorable
C’mon Joseph, watch Dune. And do a late review. You haven’t seen Call Me By Your Name? Or Little Women?
This movie seems like it’s going to be like Movie 43😬
The movie is supposed to be about climate change I believe.
Damn Timothy C. Is in this movie too. He’s been in a lot lately. Seems a bit overrated IMO , definitely an industry plant
Yep! And he’s playing Willy wonka. 😒
This is what they do for certain actors and actresses in Hollywood😣
Have you watched any of his movies? He’s very versatile and from his interviews you can tell he takes his craft seriously.
@@cutevirgo1996 Versatile? Wtf? He's not even on old school Johnny Depp level lol
Leo is versatile, Denzel is versatile, Brad Pitt is versatile, Sam Jackson is versatile, Edward Norton is versatile, Tom hardy is versatile, Morgan Freeman is versatile, etc. Timothy C is not versatile.
@@cutevirgo1996 fanboy/gurl alert 🚨
His hair was so bad
One thing I really appreciated about this movie was the legitimate science. Like, how they always called it a "comet."
This is the "wokest" movie I've ever seen! At least they are trying to say something with this one which I'm so craving these days. It was an easy watch with some funny parts - would recommend.
What does "woke" mean?
@@jpaxonreyes It's an adjective to convey being alert to societal injustice. This movie touches on so many issues - climate change, fake news, greed, covid, terrible leadership, nepotism, selfishness, sending nudes, vapid pop culture, and so on. That was just off the top of my head. The one that stands out to me the most is - people not being able to agree if a problem even exists let alone solutions. What a great way to take attention off what's really going on by those that benefit from the majority fighting among themselves.
@@bountifire - Cheers.
I'm genuinely disappointed that Joseph didn't have something sassy to say about Leo. (TBF, I don't like that crumbum)
I really don't have an opinion of him. The last time I cared about Leonardo Dicaprio was on Growing Pains: czcams.com/video/p7lFjKlYQ0k/video.html
@@fishjellyfilmreviews omg same!!
Just wanted to say that you two with this review made me laugh more than this movie did. Thanks! Having said that, even with one laugh generated by you two would have been more laughs than I got from "Don't Look Up"!!! That movie sucks! So Much Talent Wasted By A Crappy Movie!
Meryl Streep's wig reminds me of Meghan Markle's hair styling.
I was all set to watch this review when I focus in on the clip for the movie and see Timothee Chalamet. This of course means that I plan to watch because I do fan crush him. Until I catch a gander of his hair (which is normally glorious) looking like a rats nest under that ball cap. It looks like Woodstock's nest! I refuse to watch any movie that he is in where they would so callously allow his amazing head of hair to look like it's been snacked on!
I found the scientist’s approach unrealistic. A lot of astrology facilities and information are shared globally. So it’s more likely they would first get the data confirmed before they brought it to the president. As a dark comedy, I did not expect it to be so stressful and frustrating.
Way too stressful indeed
The point of the movie was we are all fucked..no matter what .. I didn't give a fuck about the science being spot on because it changes with new data .. just like covid you get fuckn sick worse and possibly could die without the vaccine.. with it you can still catch it and spread it but you won't fuckn die.. and people still don't get that .. but I got the point obviously you was looking more into the fuckn science ...I want a little more fuckn proof and a little more after ..till we die waiting on more bata..
I think this movie is a satire of today’s reality, more towards Biden than anyone
More toward the previous administration when it was being filmed. How can you not get that?
@@neosapienz7885 Orange man bad 🤪 democrats good 🤪🤪
@@blackwolf4653 well if you break it down into it’s basic elements, these days, yeah. Pretty much nailed it.
People are repeatedly calling those who didn't like it, stupid. And it's just not true. We got it, we just didn't like the delivery. It wasn't as funny as it intended to be, or smart. It was incredibly centrist from a political standpoint and didn't deliver an accurate political commentary (even if, yes, the Trump administration was indeed that ridiculous and insane). The problem I have is that The Big Short was funny, smart, well acted, paced, written, directed, AND it hit hard emotionally. I consider it to be one the smartest "political" (because yes, banks are politics too) films of the last two decades. Knowing what McKay can do, and then watching this... yikes. It just wasn't entertaining or smart enough for me to enjoy it. And Adam is smart, so? What happened. Don't Look Up felt like an old white guy with a very baseline idea of his own country's politics decided to make a disaster film.
I just don't get how the guy who made The Big Short and spearheaded Succession can put this on Netflix and act proud of it.
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World sounds similar but better. Don't Look Up's satire is supposed to be about global warming, not COVID.
David Sirota (Bernie Sanders' speech writer) helped make the movie and he said in a recent interview that the comet started out as a metaphor for climate change but they also included stuff from around the pandemic (like the idea of profiting off the comet to make the rich even richer).
so these two reviewers are just as bright as the characters in the movie, you two would fit in well.
Thank you
@@fishjellyfilmreviews you are most welcome.
is your boyfriend a Taurus??? ....he don't let you talk :)
Doesn’t
honestly joeph shouldn't be in this. his only contribution was how dumb/good the characters looked. he doesn't seem to care about movies that much let alone actually reviewing them. Personally I thought that although there were some seriously embarrassing moments in the movie where the writers seriously misinterpreted internet culture, it was a very very poignant critique of sensationalisation of everything by the media, and the dumbing down of our society in favour of convenience and consumerism.
either way I feel like I just wasted time watching this review because you've barely analysed anything about it, besides hair styles (which is great I guess. that's what the movie is about right? hair?). makes me feel like I've watched a top 10 tiktok video where the video isn't even original? it's just someone stealing other people's content and putting their face on it as a "reaction", ultimately contributing nothing
Honestly, this isn’t the channel for you.
Joseph is a professional hairstylist - it's his job to notice these things
@@tonyabrookes9931 Really? I didn't know that. 🙂
The one on the right liked the movie more than the one on the left lol.. and thats ok. Its one of them movies. Like me I didnt think it was great but i still thaught it was good.. just one of them movies.. its still a hit though in my opinion. Overall good review.
Fyi, since trump, all administrations are stupid, this current one included. The movie overall was a satire for both sides because he cracked on both....
The Republican digs were pretty obvious but which parts did they crack on Democrats?
I have to disagree with the guy on the right. A lot of points seemed to go right over his head. I think he was a little too focused on everyone’s hair perhaps.
Welcome to our channel
It seems you missed many points in the movie but focused on fashion. Like the Trump administration down play COVID and all protocol is out the window. These includes FBI and CIA. Meryl Streep hair is supposed to be terrible kinda like Donald Trumps hair. I just don't see how you would missed this little details!!!
You could've just said a movie about the earth, an asteroid on a collision course w/the earth & how it's handled by one dimensional caricatures & stereotypes; got it, thanks.
The tech billionaire was a mix of Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. Anyway the bad guy comet deniers wear red downward arrows while the good guy scientists wear blue upward arrows. The whole movie is Democrat propaganda fearmongering. But it did have a lot of silly funny bits like the interactions between Jonah Hill and Jennifer Lawrence's characters.
