What happens to the human psyche when a standard $200k drug bust uncovers $11 million in cold, hard cash? This week on Parallel Frequencies, Blane and Coco dissect the Netflix hit The Rip. They explore why the legendary chemistry of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck continues to dominate the screen, specifically focusing on Affleck’s "heavy-shouldered" portrayal of a man carrying the weight of the world.

The conversation moves beyond the heist, questioning the reality of law enforcement "pissing contests" and the blurred lines of morality when life-changing money is on the table. Plus, the duo discusses Steven Spielberg’s dark reimagining of Casper for Disney+, the "Witch of Daybreak," and what’s coming up this week, including Marty Supreme and a deep dive into the Scream franchise.

You know the feeling when you see two old friends

00:00:02.259 --> 00:00:05.960
back on screen and it just feels right. That's

00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:08.859
how it felt seeing the Boston boys, Matt Damon

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:13.740
and Ben Affleck, back together in The Rip on

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:16.480
Netflix. This is Parallel Frequencies. I am Just

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.420
Blaine. She is Coco. You are the freaks. What's

00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:22.160
up, Coco? How are you over there? You got a cat

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:23.800
with you right there. What's going on there?

00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:29.579
I got one of my cats. She's camera shy. She doesn't

00:00:29.579 --> 00:00:32.799
want to be on camera. She got heavy. She got

00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.619
real heavy. Don't touch me. Just want to sleep.

00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:39.219
Yeah. No, I wish I was a cat sometimes. Absolutely.

00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:42.280
It makes me jealous to look over at mine and

00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.700
she's over there just napping. Napping away.

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.000
Not caring the world. Just believes you deserve

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.979
everything. Right. That you get. Absolutely.

00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:59.020
This past weekend, we were together. We did a

00:00:59.020 --> 00:01:01.640
joint yard sale as a neighborhood here in Daybreak.

00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:04.719
Yeah, it was a Daybreak yard sale. I didn't really,

00:01:04.859 --> 00:01:07.319
I thought it was going to be a lot of work, but

00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.200
you know what it came down to? It was like, how

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.459
much you want for that or how much you got? Yeah,

00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:13.900
yeah. You know the trick is you just have to

00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:17.079
not care about actually making money. You have

00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.000
to just be like, I'm just sitting in my yard

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.219
with my stuff hoping somebody comes and takes

00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:25.439
some of my stuff. I mean, that's all it is. Honestly,

00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:27.120
if you think about it, the worst that happens

00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.900
is they take it for free and it saved you a trip

00:01:29.900 --> 00:01:34.640
to the trash. Yeah. To the dump. So, yeah. Good

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.000
times, though. Freaks, Daybreak is the community,

00:01:38.420 --> 00:01:42.200
not the city, but neighborhood we live in called

00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:47.319
Daybreak. Yep. It's real. just high level but

00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:52.079

see if i could get it but you got it so well

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.060
on the other side of witches is there's some

00:02:37.060 --> 00:02:41.319
ghost and that's my Terrible segue just to talk

00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.319
about this right here, because I ran across this

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.819
over the weekend as well. Steven Spielberg is

00:02:48.819 --> 00:02:52.460
bringing back Casper the Friendly Ghost, but

00:02:52.460 --> 00:02:55.360
it's going to be a darker live action Disney

00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.340
Plus series. What do you think about this, Coco?

00:02:58.819 --> 00:03:02.180
I want to see Casper dark. Like, I want to see

00:03:02.180 --> 00:03:05.000
that next level. Because, yeah, I mean, you know,

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:06.699
it was all fun and everything in the Christina

00:03:06.699 --> 00:03:10.550
Ricci movie. is is in my top you know halloween

00:03:10.550 --> 00:03:13.830
favorites with the kids yeah but i want to see

00:03:13.830 --> 00:03:20.370
like yeah i wonder like how dark are we talking

00:03:20.370 --> 00:03:24.110
here like we talking like what what do we i wonder

00:03:24.110 --> 00:03:26.150
what they're going to go for like i'm ready to

00:03:26.150 --> 00:03:29.090
think about it the subject matter of the story

00:03:29.090 --> 00:03:30.729
of casper at least the way that they presented

00:03:30.729 --> 00:03:33.900
it in that movie It's pretty dark. It was just

00:03:33.900 --> 00:03:36.759
kind of played off like really cartoonish and

00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.620
funny, you know, kind of from the original cartoon,

00:03:39.780 --> 00:03:44.860
right? But it's about a kid who died. Yeah. And

00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:48.439
they made it less scary by casting that heartthrob

00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:50.560
back in the 90s or whatever. Remember that? Who

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.759
was that guy's name? I can't remember. Oh, my

00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.939
God. I do remember being so cute, though. I was

00:03:54.939 --> 00:03:56.759
like... Somebody out there, the freaks will know.

00:03:56.780 --> 00:04:00.500
I can get it. Yeah. The freaks will remember

00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:03.259
who played Casper. Tell us in the comments. I

00:04:03.259 --> 00:04:05.599
want to see that. Yeah. Today's Movie Monday.

00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:10.879
And this movie snuck up on me for sure. Oh, yeah.

00:04:10.900 --> 00:04:12.520
I thought it was going to be another one of these

00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.579
heist movies. You know, same old thing. You know

00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:20.579
the formula. Nuh -uh. Nuh -uh. Not only do we

00:04:20.579 --> 00:04:23.519
get to see some incredible chemistry between

00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.829
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Like, seriously,

00:04:27.009 --> 00:04:28.829
are they the only two people left in Hollywood

00:04:28.829 --> 00:04:30.790
who can actually just talk to each other? They're

00:04:30.790 --> 00:04:32.970
not. That's what they're doing. Like, they seem

00:04:32.970 --> 00:04:36.389
like they're just, we're a flaw in the wall watching

00:04:36.389 --> 00:04:38.870
them do their thing is what it is. You know,

00:04:38.870 --> 00:04:42.410
and there's not a lot of duos out there that

00:04:42.410 --> 00:04:46.589
can make a movie like this together. And it's

00:04:46.589 --> 00:04:51.009
gritty. It's raw and full of twists and turns.

00:04:51.170 --> 00:04:53.610
And that's what I liked. What was your initial

00:04:53.610 --> 00:04:57.639
thought here? The overall themes, you know, when

00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.339
watching this movie, when you're kind of thinking

00:05:01.339 --> 00:05:04.600
about people who have a history together and

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.199
people who have a background, backgrounds that

00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.480
are even vastly different, like, you know, not

00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.060
always coming from the same place. And I kind

00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:15.959
of think of this as Ben Affleck and Matt Damon

00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:20.300
personally. They're clearly great friends, have

00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:23.610
been friends for a long time. They've lived very

00:05:23.610 --> 00:05:25.529
different lives. They have a different back,

00:05:25.550 --> 00:05:27.050
you know, they have a kind of a different backstory,

00:05:27.209 --> 00:05:29.470
but they're still, they have this mutual respect

00:05:29.470 --> 00:05:31.889
for each other and understanding, you know, about

00:05:31.889 --> 00:05:35.430
each other that I think comes through. But this

00:05:35.430 --> 00:05:40.629
movie really reflects this idea of trust and,

00:05:40.629 --> 00:05:45.579
you know, man, to have pulled off. In the way

00:05:45.579 --> 00:05:47.860
that it did, by the time you get to the end of

00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:49.800
the movie and things are revealed that you're

00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.399
like, whoa, that was happening the whole time?

00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.500
I didn't even realize. Yeah. It brings up the

00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:56.759
level of like, there had to have been so much

00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.860
trust between these characters, these people

00:05:59.860 --> 00:06:02.339
that work together. Yeah. High stakes environment.

00:06:02.579 --> 00:06:05.879
The title alone, The Rip, it's not, like I said,

00:06:05.939 --> 00:06:09.819
just a heist movie. It's a vibe. It's about the

00:06:09.819 --> 00:06:12.959
things we tear apart and the things that tear

00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.939
us apart. The rip. Matt Damon, he plays this

00:06:16.939 --> 00:06:20.680
guy who wants out. Classic Matt Damon. Ben plays

00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:25.379
the guy who drags him back. Classic Ben. But

00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:29.139
why does this dynamic always work? Why? Like,

00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.939
I don't know. Is it the emotional connection

00:06:31.939 --> 00:06:34.560
that we have? Like, what's going on that works

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.779
so well with these two dudes getting together,

00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:39.279
you know? Yeah, and there's almost this, like,

00:06:39.339 --> 00:06:44.060
underlying hostility, too, in it. even though

00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:47.100
there's the camaraderie or the brotherhood feeling

00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:52.500
about it, it's still this, which plays out and

00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:56.319
plays into the story really well, but I don't

00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.600
know if it's just me and my overly sensitive

00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:06.579
Pisces self raised in the Midwest, me, and maybe

00:07:06.579 --> 00:07:10.600
that's the comparison to seeing the Bostonian.

00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.259
Yeah. way of like you know it's kind of like

00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:15.000
when you meet a new yorker and you're like wow

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.139
you're you're a little harsh you're like are

00:07:18.139 --> 00:07:21.420
you mad at me but they're not that's just how

00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:23.439
they are maybe it's a little bit of that that's

00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.639
coming through or the way that i feel about that

00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:30.180
but yes and and the hardness of being a cop i

00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:32.480
guess too because that gives them an extra layer

00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:38.120
it seems like and you know we've got like i said

00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.959
the the rip it's not just the location in the

00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.279
movie. It's not just where they're at. It's so

00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:50.399
much more than that. And it's the rip, the tear

00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:55.740
between everything. It's the divide in classes

00:07:55.740 --> 00:08:01.220
even is really shown. And it's that gap between

00:08:01.220 --> 00:08:03.579
having everything and having just enough to lose.

00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.980
And that's where we see a lot of this action

00:08:06.980 --> 00:08:10.639
happening here. Ben Affleck's doing that thing,

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:14.420
again, the weary, heavy -shouldered performance

00:08:14.420 --> 00:08:17.420
where he looks like he hasn't slept since he

00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:20.459
made the town. Yeah. He's like that meme of himself

00:08:20.459 --> 00:08:22.879
that we all saw where he's outside smoking a

00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.699
cigarette and he looks like he's got the weight

00:08:24.699 --> 00:08:27.180
of the world on his shoulders. Exactly. It's

00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:30.839
his character here. It's very honest and vulnerable.

00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:33.860
Even though he's got a hard shell, he's still

00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:36.899
vulnerable. And Matt Damon... He's really the

00:08:36.899 --> 00:08:39.120
anchor in this. He's the guy that thinks he's

00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.840
smarter than everybody else, you know, until

00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.360
the situation starts hitting back. Then he's

00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.960
like, wait a minute. Maybe I don't know everything

00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.940
going on. But it was a thrill. This whole movie

00:08:51.940 --> 00:08:54.659
is a thrill. And you think you know, but you

00:08:54.659 --> 00:08:57.259
don't. And I like those kinds of movies. They

00:08:57.259 --> 00:08:58.779
keep you kind of guessing all the way to the

00:08:58.779 --> 00:09:01.779
end. And Tiana Taylor crushed it, too. Let's

00:09:01.779 --> 00:09:03.899
not forget about her. We got to talk about her.

00:09:04.509 --> 00:09:10.029
The character that she plays, the level of...

00:09:10.029 --> 00:09:12.370
And I want to ask you, how much do you think

00:09:12.370 --> 00:09:14.830
that that's realistic in a situation like this?

00:09:15.110 --> 00:09:18.250
Had they, you know, found a sum of money and

00:09:18.250 --> 00:09:22.450
a drug bust like this that's like way over and

00:09:22.450 --> 00:09:25.009
beyond what they expected to see? The amount

00:09:25.009 --> 00:09:28.769
of it and the level of danger. Like, they're

00:09:28.769 --> 00:09:30.669
going through these protocols of having to count

00:09:30.669 --> 00:09:33.980
the money and having to, you know... collaborate

00:09:33.980 --> 00:09:35.600
with someone else who counted the money and all

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.740
these like little procedures and rules that they're

00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:40.200
following but as they're doing that on location

00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.100
there's also the sense of like we're gonna be

00:09:43.100 --> 00:09:46.559
busted in and like someone's gonna open fire

00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.059
on us at any minute and um that's where i feel

00:09:49.059 --> 00:09:51.840
like tiana taylor playing that role is sitting

00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:55.139
in the in the ah seeping in the danger of it

00:09:55.139 --> 00:09:57.879
yeah she was in the trenches she's down in the

00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.710
trenches with them uh and and yeah but you but

00:10:01.710 --> 00:10:03.789
you're right and here's the thing too yeah in

00:10:03.789 --> 00:10:06.210
a real situation like that and you start thinking

00:10:06.210 --> 00:10:08.370
about that you're like oh my god like what what

00:10:08.370 --> 00:10:11.330
would happen i'm not a cop never been never gonna

00:10:11.330 --> 00:10:16.210
be don't know but the thing is you can relate

00:10:16.210 --> 00:10:18.269
to it because you start thinking about that amount

00:10:18.269 --> 00:10:21.090
of money yeah and it doesn't matter if you're

00:10:21.090 --> 00:10:25.830
a cop or the cartel money's money And somebody,

00:10:25.929 --> 00:10:27.830
they're coming to get it. And once you hit a

00:10:27.830 --> 00:10:30.289
certain number, it does get dangerous. And that

00:10:30.289 --> 00:10:33.429
was the thing about it that had the high tension

00:10:33.429 --> 00:10:37.570
the whole time. You don't know if the good guys

00:10:37.570 --> 00:10:41.409
are bad because of the money. And you don't know

00:10:41.409 --> 00:10:45.269
if the cartels come. Yeah, like it would be nerve

00:10:45.269 --> 00:10:47.929
wracking to walk in there and instead of getting

00:10:47.929 --> 00:10:51.730
the 200K, you found $11 million. That's going

00:10:51.730 --> 00:10:56.210
to, yeah, perk some people up. changes a few

00:10:56.210 --> 00:10:59.830
things it will money changes things yeah money

00:10:59.830 --> 00:11:03.049
money changes a lot and even when it comes to

00:11:03.049 --> 00:11:06.370
legalities money starts blurring those lines

00:11:06.370 --> 00:11:08.850
and i think that's i think it's probably realistic

00:11:08.850 --> 00:11:12.789
what you saw in this movie um yeah even the the

00:11:12.789 --> 00:11:15.330
conversation when they have it in at one point

00:11:15.330 --> 00:11:18.669
with the leader of the cartel where they're like

00:11:18.669 --> 00:11:22.360
is it you No, it's not me. Is it you? Yeah. And

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.259
I was like, wow, this is interesting to have

00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:31.320
like a known criminal relationship with the police

00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.059
where it's like, okay, we're not busting you

00:11:34.059 --> 00:11:37.379
today. Exactly. We're having a conversation,

00:11:37.659 --> 00:11:40.379
right? I found that to be really interesting

00:11:40.379 --> 00:11:42.019
and wondering, you know, what is that really

00:11:42.019 --> 00:11:44.480
like? It reminded me when I used to watch Sons

00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.379
of Anarchy. Oh, yeah. You remember that show?

00:11:46.580 --> 00:11:50.759
And I was just like, how close? is this actually

00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.340
i think of it very very i mean i'm really naive

00:11:53.340 --> 00:11:56.779
when i think like the police are always the good

00:11:56.779 --> 00:11:59.980
guy and you know he's like well actually why

00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:02.019
what i mean maybe they're not maybe sometimes

00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:04.200
they're not i don't know well here's the thing

00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:07.580
it comes down to police are still human right

00:12:07.580 --> 00:12:15.019
a human being can be you know led the wrong way

00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:19.149
if it's appealing enough when a risk And the

00:12:19.149 --> 00:12:22.929
reward are not the same anymore. You know, it's

00:12:22.929 --> 00:12:25.809
$11 million is a lot of money. And they know

00:12:25.809 --> 00:12:28.309
that. And when the cartel starts saying, well,

00:12:28.330 --> 00:12:29.730
we don't even care about it. You guys can have

00:12:29.730 --> 00:12:32.129
it. Then that throws a whole other monkey wrench

00:12:32.129 --> 00:12:34.409
into the game. Where it's like, oh, that's no

00:12:34.409 --> 00:12:38.090
big amount for us to miss. Because then it's

00:12:38.090 --> 00:12:41.269
like, well, now what do we do? Do we run with

00:12:41.269 --> 00:12:45.929
this money? Who knows? I would, I hate to think

00:12:45.929 --> 00:12:50.940
this way, but. I think there's a lot of mistrust

00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:54.820
or maybe just not fully trust in law enforcement

00:12:54.820 --> 00:12:58.659
between law enforcement. Like, I don't think

00:12:58.659 --> 00:13:01.320
that you spill all the beans to everybody in

00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.419
there because you don't know who's dirty. Because

00:13:03.419 --> 00:13:06.179
once again, people are human. The cops are human.

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:09.220
There are dirty cops, just like there's great

00:13:09.220 --> 00:13:12.820
cops. Sorry, there are. There's good and bad

00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:15.970
of everything. I just think that that line gets

00:13:15.970 --> 00:13:20.070
real blurry when you start talking about massive

00:13:20.070 --> 00:13:23.929
life -changing amounts of money. Yeah, you're

00:13:23.929 --> 00:13:26.629
making me think too about all of the TV shows

00:13:26.629 --> 00:13:31.570
and movies I've ever seen where authorities are

00:13:31.570 --> 00:13:36.330
investigating something and it's like different

00:13:36.330 --> 00:13:40.649
departments of the same police or different...

00:13:41.179 --> 00:13:44.240
police departments or even like FBI versus the

00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:47.000
local law enforcement. Yeah. When any of that

00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.679
question comes into play in an investigation

00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:53.000
of any kind, there is this kind of like pee on

00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.539
the borders kind of feeling. And I've always

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:57.220
kind of wondered about that. I've always wanted

00:13:57.220 --> 00:13:59.000
to ask someone who's actually in law enforcement,

00:13:59.059 --> 00:14:02.980
like, what is that? I mean, is the goal to solve

00:14:02.980 --> 00:14:05.779
the crime and find the guilty part, you know,

00:14:05.779 --> 00:14:09.000
like, aren't we all on the same team if that's

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.710
what we're trying to get? But why is it this

00:14:11.710 --> 00:14:14.009
whole question of, like, who has jurisdiction?

00:14:14.330 --> 00:14:17.750
And, like, what is that? Is it really just as

00:14:17.750 --> 00:14:20.210
simple as, like, a pissing contest? Is it really

00:14:20.210 --> 00:14:24.450
that egoic, egotistical? Where it's just like,

00:14:24.570 --> 00:14:27.570
I'm in charge here. I'm leading this investigation.

00:14:28.070 --> 00:14:31.350
No, actually, it's my department. You know, like,

00:14:31.370 --> 00:14:34.470
what is that? I don't know. That's a great perspective.

00:14:34.549 --> 00:14:39.129
Great point out. Because, yeah. who cares who's

00:14:39.129 --> 00:14:40.870
leading the thing as long as it gets done right

00:14:40.870 --> 00:14:42.570
like that's what it should help each other out

00:14:42.570 --> 00:14:44.990
i want to know like if there's freaks out there

00:14:44.990 --> 00:14:46.950
who are in law enforcement like they can like

00:14:46.950 --> 00:14:49.289
explain it to me and you know ways that you would

00:14:49.289 --> 00:14:50.970
explain it to a five -year -old because that's

00:14:50.970 --> 00:14:52.990
about my level of understanding on how all this

00:14:52.990 --> 00:14:56.190
works yeah let me know i want to know what the

00:14:56.190 --> 00:14:58.389
deal is with that or does that really happen

00:14:58.389 --> 00:15:01.309
is that just in movies maybe it's just not realistic

00:15:01.309 --> 00:15:03.710
i don't know yeah and let us know about the the

00:15:03.710 --> 00:15:06.669
police All around. If you're a policeman out

00:15:06.669 --> 00:15:09.169
there and you're a freak, let us know. How accurate

00:15:09.169 --> 00:15:12.690
is this? Also, freaks out there, I got something

00:15:12.690 --> 00:15:15.129
for you. You don't have to think about it as

00:15:15.129 --> 00:15:16.950
just a policeman. We can relate to everybody.

00:15:17.090 --> 00:15:23.269
Let's say, think about it. If your oldest, messiest

00:15:23.269 --> 00:15:27.250
friend called you at 3 a .m. with a plan that

00:15:27.250 --> 00:15:32.019
sounded 10 % brilliant and 90 % illegal. Are

00:15:32.019 --> 00:15:33.820
you going to pick up that phone and go meet him?

00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.379
And for how much money would it take for you

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:41.519
to cross the line into yes? People always say,

00:15:41.659 --> 00:15:44.720
oh, no amount of money can change me. Yeah, yeah,

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:48.860
yeah, it will. If you stumbled upon $11 million,

00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:53.500
it will change you right there on the spot, just

00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:54.980
like it did all the characters in the movie,

00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:57.840
just like it did Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Tiana

00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:01.970
Taylor, all of them. And this movie, seriously

00:16:01.970 --> 00:16:04.769
was a thrill ride from beginning to end it was

00:16:04.769 --> 00:16:07.029
one that i put on late at night ended up watching

00:16:07.029 --> 00:16:09.470
the whole thing because i was like oh didn't

00:16:09.470 --> 00:16:13.350
mean to get myself into this you know um because

00:16:13.350 --> 00:16:14.750
i literally i thought it was just gonna be that

00:16:14.750 --> 00:16:17.490
same heist movie formula that we've seen time

00:16:17.490 --> 00:16:20.690
and time again yeah it wasn't it was i enjoyed

00:16:20.690 --> 00:16:25.450
it a lot yeah a lot of like ethical questions

00:16:25.450 --> 00:16:29.289
about you know what would What would I do in

00:16:29.289 --> 00:16:31.269
this situation or how would I feel or would I

00:16:31.269 --> 00:16:34.429
be suspicious too if I'd seen, you know, certain

00:16:34.429 --> 00:16:36.429
conversations happening and whispered corners

00:16:36.429 --> 00:16:38.769
and, you know, the kind of things that you see

00:16:38.769 --> 00:16:43.789
in this movie and then the suspicion maybe, you

00:16:43.789 --> 00:16:45.970
know, coming back around full circle. It's just

00:16:45.970 --> 00:16:48.330
interesting to see all that dynamic happen and

00:16:48.330 --> 00:16:51.610
then the big climax, the chase at the end and

00:16:51.610 --> 00:16:55.429
the guns and the, you know. obviously super exciting

00:16:55.429 --> 00:16:57.669
and fun to watch but you know what you just touched

00:16:57.669 --> 00:16:59.610
on something right there the whispering in the

00:16:59.610 --> 00:17:03.950
corners like that's to me in a world of cgi and

00:17:03.950 --> 00:17:06.029
multiverses and all this other shit going on

00:17:06.029 --> 00:17:08.609
watching two guys argue in the kitchen feels

00:17:08.609 --> 00:17:10.230
like the most rebellious thing you can put on

00:17:10.230 --> 00:17:13.250
a film these days you know so that's i love that

00:17:13.250 --> 00:17:16.569
you pointed out that now it sticks out to me

00:17:16.569 --> 00:17:21.029
those moments like that there's a scene around

00:17:21.029 --> 00:17:23.049
a 40 minute mark and it's just a conversation

00:17:23.049 --> 00:17:27.430
about regret it's the most human thing i've ever

00:17:27.430 --> 00:17:30.269
seen on a film at least in the last year or so

00:17:30.269 --> 00:17:33.569
and it it felt real it felt like it was not it

00:17:33.569 --> 00:17:35.430
felt like it wasn't scripted and when you make

00:17:35.430 --> 00:17:37.569
a movie and it doesn't feel scripted that's you

00:17:37.569 --> 00:17:40.670
you've done something like i said they didn't

00:17:40.670 --> 00:17:44.670
need all this crazy other stuff going on to tell

00:17:44.670 --> 00:17:49.119
a great story that The viewer, at least for me,

00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:50.880
I didn't know what was going on. I thought I

00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:54.259
did, but at some point when you're sitting at

00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:56.539
home guessing you know the answers, you just

00:17:56.539 --> 00:17:59.279
give up. You're like, nah, I'm done. I'm just

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.380
going to ride it out and watch, you know? That's

00:18:02.380 --> 00:18:04.819
what I do. So tell me your final thoughts on

00:18:04.819 --> 00:18:08.839
The Rip. First of all, just like a fun and entertaining

00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.769
movie. Like, just fun. It's one that, yeah, all

00:18:12.769 --> 00:18:14.589
those twists and turns and second -guessing and

00:18:14.589 --> 00:18:16.210
stuff is just really fun and entertaining to

00:18:16.210 --> 00:18:19.410
watch. But, you know, digging in deeper and being

00:18:19.410 --> 00:18:21.210
able to look at, like, each of these characters'

00:18:21.430 --> 00:18:28.009
examples that they offer, like, what am I trying

00:18:28.009 --> 00:18:30.470
to say? Different perspectives. Different perspectives

00:18:30.470 --> 00:18:33.630
on this one event they find themselves all wrapped

00:18:33.630 --> 00:18:38.029
up in. Even the girl whose house it was that

00:18:38.029 --> 00:18:40.210
they found the money, I mean, you kind of get

00:18:40.210 --> 00:18:42.130
another perspective in that, She could just be

00:18:42.130 --> 00:18:43.930
seen as like this, oh, you're hiding something.

00:18:44.150 --> 00:18:46.650
You've got information. There's money. But when

00:18:46.650 --> 00:18:49.329
they dig a little deeper, realize she's terrified

00:18:49.329 --> 00:18:52.250
for her life. Yeah. I think she would have walked

00:18:52.250 --> 00:18:56.309
out of there without a dime and been just happy

00:18:56.309 --> 00:19:00.049
enough to live. And you get that as you go along.

00:19:00.130 --> 00:19:04.650
So, like, if they had been short -sighted or

00:19:04.650 --> 00:19:09.529
a little too one -dimensional, they wouldn't.

00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:11.799
they would have just seen it like, you're a criminal,

00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:13.960
you're doing something wrong, you're not telling

00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:16.200
the truth, you're lying. So, you know, wrapping

00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:19.599
her up in all of this. But truthfully, I think

00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:22.440
that there were characters, and by the way, I

00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:24.299
think that most of them were women, that were

00:19:24.299 --> 00:19:27.559
willing to be like, let's bring her under our

00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:29.599
protection and let's make sure we all get out

00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.299
of this alive, right? Exactly. And I appreciated

00:19:32.299 --> 00:19:38.759
that. Desiree Lopez Molina playing Sasha Kelly.

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:42.079
Incredible. I got to give her a shout out because

00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:46.480
she did. She crushed that role and did become

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:48.400
multidimensional, I guess. Yeah, because she

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.839
did kind of play it like, I'm just a badass.

00:19:51.980 --> 00:19:54.440
Like, I'm going to lie to these cops and, you

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:57.880
know, whatever. But then the subtext, the subtle

00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:00.920
subtext behind that was like, I'm scared and

00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.519
I just want to get out of this alive. Right.

00:20:03.619 --> 00:20:05.539
And that's, I thought that was brilliant. Yeah.

00:20:06.140 --> 00:20:08.819
Yeah. What a movie. Yeah. Got to check it out.

00:20:09.849 --> 00:20:12.329
Netflix, The Rip, it's been out for a little

00:20:12.329 --> 00:20:15.670
while. Still popular. Still one of their top

00:20:15.670 --> 00:20:18.809
most watched movies at the moment. Love to hear

00:20:18.809 --> 00:20:20.849
from the freaks out there if you enjoyed this

00:20:20.849 --> 00:20:23.470
movie as much as we did. I wasn't expecting.

00:20:24.470 --> 00:20:27.250
I didn't have any expectations really going in

00:20:27.250 --> 00:20:29.210
other than I knew I was going to see Ben Affleck

00:20:29.210 --> 00:20:30.970
and Matt Damon. And I'm like, all right, let's

00:20:30.970 --> 00:20:33.549
check this out. It's worth it for that. What

00:20:33.549 --> 00:20:36.150
can go wrong here? And it didn't. It was all

00:20:36.150 --> 00:20:38.670
