The Gray Man

I mean, there's that one Netflix movie.

Remember the gray man that he stars in that is, it's like disclosure of Max Spears, essentially.

And there's all these synchronicities with him.

I

did see that.

I did see the gray man actually read all of those books before that too.

The gray man was a script that was actually given to Max Spears before, before he died.

Great.

third movie.

You know who would have been a great director? The guy that directed The Gray Man.

Oh, that's

a...

That's a good movie, man.

No.

But the reason why I brought up The Gray Man, and we got to really get off this topic.

Yeah, we done.

For

me, that was Gray Man with Ryan Gosling.

That's the ultimate streaming

slop movie.

Oh, yeah.

Gray Man?

Oh, yeah.

Haven't done Gray Man.

No, I haven't done that.

I should.

Is that answerable?

Oh, okay.

Right.

Uh, The Matrix Resurrections, The Gray Man, Glass Onion, The Royal Ho-Hotel, which I brought to Show and Tell a while back.

Right.

Future episode, How to Make a Killing, and upcoming Taron Egerton comedy thriller, Everybody Wants to Fuck Me.

Yeah, I really wasn't that aware of it at all.

We are a far cry from the days of these huge advertising campaigns for things like The Gray Man or Heart of Stone, where they're like, people! These mega movies are coming to your home now.

You need to watch them.

Gal Gadot is jumping out of a plane or whatever.

Because, first off, if this movie is going to be this homage to the 80s, movies didn't look like this.

There's a sense of complete broken reality.

when you are introducing some of the cg in this movie that just is so glaringly bad i'll give an example the parachute fall was awful yeah i was really actually actually had a note what was worse that parachute drop or the parachute drop in uh the gray man

oh

No one was more surprised than I, because again, those two Family Plan movies, dog shit.

Uh, yeah, if you would've told me I would've liked this more than The Gray Man, I would've laughed at you.

But here we are.

So yeah, a C+ for Matchbox the movie.

Nikola is a longtime friend of the podcast and a supremely talented sound person.

His credits include Physical, The Gray Man, and a show I just discovered randomly that I didn't even know you worked on called, uh, You're the Worst, which I would-

That's my favorite show

... laugh my head off on.

But it did, it did really bad at the box office.

He was in, he was in Gray Man on Netflix, which I thought was fine but was deeply, deeply uninspiring.

And, uh, a- and I don't know if you can say that it actually drove, uh, subscriptions to Netflix.

Barbie was l- going to be successful either way.

he, he's not o- he's not somebody that's spamming the chat.

He's, he's not making tons of stuff every year.

That's why I find him doing Gray Man for Netflix so weird.

Maybe 'cause it was COVID, and he's like, "I wanna work."
