00:00Welcome to another Geek Culture Congress. I'm one of your hosts as always, Luis Speedy Jr. Gonzalez.
00:04And I am sorry for the tank top and the, you know, the core here, but I am in vacation mode.
00:11But I did get to check out a special sneak preview of the Fast and Furious spinoff, Hobbs and Shaw,
00:18which is starring, of course, The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, which is always, he's always a great martial artist, action actor.
00:26And Idris Elba is the antagonist in this movie.
00:30And we had some special cameos in the movie as well, which, you know, I might be giving it away with my little hat here,
00:38but we'll just leave it at that, okay?
00:40So we won't spoil it completely too much.
00:43And I'm going to give you my spoiler for review here at Geek Culture Congress.
00:50And, you know, there's always a lot of criticism about these kinds of movies.
00:54And I think, I think if you, they make so much money at the box office that, you know, there's a market for these kinds of movies.
01:03And people just want to see, you know, unplug reality for a second and, you know, see some crazy action, you know,
01:09maybe not that doesn't fit in, you know, wouldn't happen realistically, all the things that happen in a Fast and Furious movie,
01:19which we've already, we are already used to.
01:22Definitely, there's more of this times 10 here in Hobbs and Shaw.
01:28So if you're a fan of over-the-top violence and action, this is your movie.
01:37You need to go see this opening day.
01:39It comes out in the movie theaters this Friday.
01:42If you're not, you know, if you're looking for some kind of serious movie or Fast and Furious to take on some other tone that you're not used to,
01:49you're going to be disappointed by this movie because it's just more of, of what we're already used to in the Fast and Furious franchise.
01:55It's definitely, definitely a, a, a righteous successor to the Fast and Furious franchise.
02:05Um, it has, the comedy is great.
02:08Um, the, the comedy pacing is good and it's an enjoyable summer movie, summer action movie.
02:16Um, if you would just, just unplug reality for a second and just take it for what it is.
02:22Um, uh, to rock and, and Jason, they do such a great job and address as the antagonist.
02:27He really is.
02:28He really sells it.
02:29Uh, I mean, man, what a great actor, man.
02:32Um, this, this, this movie makes me think, you know, how he would have been.
02:35In a, uh, a James Bond movie.
02:38And, uh, I hope that ever, I hope that happens for him in the future because, uh, man, he really, you'll, you'll see it.
02:45You'll, you'll see the, the acting chops that the man has.
02:47I think he hasn't gotten a fair shake yet, but, um, definitely in this movie, he has a great job.
02:53Um, can I say four out of five, man, as I give it a four out of five is a good time at the movies, you know, good time for some popcorn and some nachos.
03:01Uh, go see Hobbs and Shaw comes out Friday, August 2nd.
03:07I recommend it.
