Battleship

And it doesn't really work.

And it's the same thing with Battleship, where they have to just create like a story and characters to fit into the idea of this game from the 80s.

And I don't know, it just got me to thinking, like, is there more IP where there are no characters? Like Hungry Hungry Hippos is coming out.

I mean, maybe they can... create some kind of personality for the hippos but there's a slinky movie coming it's like how do you take this stuff and turn it into something that's engaging that has that centers the story around the actual ip instead of just building a story and like dropping it in it doesn't seem to work

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Taylor Klitsch from John Carter and Battleship.

You know, his career there when he was the hot... name in the industry for like a blip and you know all it takes is those failures and you know his career trajectory changed now he's i believe he's still in the business but it's still again you know you could be the thing one day and and not the thing next but it's interesting to see all all these people that have persevered through the years like a john leguizamo who again they never were they very rarely were the lead actor in a film but have managed to found a career through good solid performances throughout the career whether it was in his case comedy or drama and finally it gets rewarded uh with a great performance in the odyssey which he may be nominated for uh this coming year so we'll see what happens

Yeah, it's interesting because he's very rarely leading man status.

These planes are not big planes.

And one of the most notable ships that took part in this is the USS Arizona, which is a battleship, which is probably this not quite the size, but maybe half the size of a football field.

Was that the boat that they used in Battleship to shoot the aliens in the face with a bunch of war veterans saying, let's drop some lead on these mother...

Probably.

The USS Arizona did take part in World War II, and it is a World War II museum in Pearl Harbor.

How do you...

What do you mean? They'll take Battleship, and then he would have a movie on that? Yeah, man.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, they

Sean's CIA problems catch up to him, though, and the Matchbox Gang finds themselves up against shady government agents, arms dealers, a missing nuke, helicopters, and lots and lots of cars.

It's a movie that knows it's ridiculous, and if you're fascinated by films like Barbie, The Lego Movie, Battleship, or Tetris, this might float your boat.

What's your favorite movie or TV show based on a toy line? Let me know down below in the comments.

If you like action comedies where everybody seems to be having a great time, there's a lot to like here.

Nope.

I played Battleship.

Hell yeah.

Chutes and Ladders.

Your board shakes when you pick it up

... just like try to take it out and... [laughs]

It's a metric test for a person right there if you're honest during Battleship.

Also, horrible.

That was fun.

But I also thought about Battleship.

I've never even seen that stupid fucking movie.

Riri's in it.

That's who they're battling in the aliens.

Yeah.

Battleship.

You haven't even seen it, and you don't even know.
