There's a young Ryan Gosling.

Young Ryan Gosling in there as well.

Denzel being Denzel is always great.

I wouldn't have this in my top ten, actually.

Nor I. And that's not to, like, shit on it, because it is good.

And I adore Denzel.

It's one of the rarest things in the world is a bad Denzel performance.

It does exist, though.

The film is called Roman J. Israel Esquire.

Don't watch it.

But the thing is, this one is good for him.

I kind of think he's elevating it massively, though, by his presence alone.

Like, it's a bit...

oh without him it's not the same film but that's can be said of like a lot of good films like the star in a movie does yeah that's true it's a bit like it's a bit like you teach it in schools though like which again might not be the worst thing of all time very good use of the title at the end though i do like that yeah that's together yeah there is a humorous amount of inaccuracies in this movie versus the real yeah we did a long email about that back and

yeah October well just like in the film it's painted as they're the only integrated school every school was integrated they faced that season which really undercuts the premise of them being like black and white people coming together like every school they faced and then also a couple of years later the head coach was fired in like acrimonious circumstances for his treatment of players which you do see in this movie like he won't let them drink water he's like making you know a very kind of strict coach but uh

i love the idea of some studio executive when confronted with the information the film killing information and he's just like it doesn't matter you were doing it anyway they're on set it's happening i i would share your that that word you used a little bit televisual yeah a little made for tv it's a bit small i don't know like there's something about it where i kind of i watched with a friend of mine i think during the pandemic and i was told you know this is the one and i was like yeah like it's it's fun and all but i'm not the first time you saw it first time i saw yeah see i saw

when I was a teenager so perhaps I think it's reputation you need to see it at a time a formative time in your life I think true true my fault

Yeah, I don't want you to feel cut down upon there.

I don't because I know you guys are wrong.

Okay, fine.
