hey is everybody watching the Super Bowl because this is the uh the boring uh wait before the halftime there's absolutely nothing on television right now so come in here and uh hear my review of the new Mike covich film hoax which I just finished today soon as we get a thousand I'll talk about it but first will you join me in the simultaneous sip the second one of the
day good stuff all right so um let me start with my bias going into this so before I watched the the film hoax um I had low expectations for the following reasons number one I'm in it and I thought to myself well if I'm in this thing how good could it be uh and I thought well the things I said were not

[1:13]

thought well the things I said were not that spectacular so you know how good can this movie be and I also thought to myself I feel like I know what it's going to be about it's going to be the mo you know the the news is fake and there'll be examples and and then I'll think uh you know I kind of knew that so going in the only thing I knew about it is that the production values were excellent cuz I'd seen the trailers so the trailers looked amazing and I'd also been hearing privately from a lot of people so a lot of people had been dming me to say they hadd already seen it and 100% of them said it was great that they really enjoyed it but I thought well I don't know if I trust them maybe they just like the message or they like cernovich or something and and and of course he's a firsttime um firsttime filmmaker so I thought well how good can it be right so I started watching it and I I'll skip to the end it it's a freaking Masterpiece it's really really

[2:16]

freaking Masterpiece it's really really good and I'll tell you this about it so that you can watch it for maximum enjoyment oh somebody saying it's his second film um to watch you for maximum enjoyment I'm going to I'm going to reveal a little bit without giving anything away all right what I'm going to reveal without giving away any plot is that the last third of it and maybe the last 15 minutes make sure that you lock the door turn off all of your devices and just make sure that you're watching that last 10 minutes without any interruption it'll blow your mind now the thing that you'll also not realize is that the entire first 2third of the film are setting you up for a finish that is one of the best I've ever seen in any form it's

[3:17]

seen in any form it's spectacular so uh once you understand that the first part is is they're basically softening you up you know getting you into a frame of thinking and you think you know where this mov is going and then holy hell uh I'll tell you a couple other things um that surprised me so the the last two speakers in the film and again I don't want to give too much away but one is Jordan Peterson and he reached into my brain and reprogrammed it in real time I've never I don't think I've ever experienced anything quite that dramatic in terms of having somebody just reframe my brain you know while I was while I was experiencing it it was the damnest thing uh and then Stefan uh mullu does does an extended piece that is so good I mean it's just so good that you

[4:18]

good I mean it's just so good that you just have to see it and the two of those pieces fit together for the the best movie ending I think I've seen in years probably of any type not just documentary it's truly mind-blowing now I'll tell you one other little trick if you have the option to watch the last 10 15 minutes of It Outdoors um and I was doing it on the beach so I was just on a secluded beach by myself well it was secluded because the weather was bad not because it was secluded um but there weren't weren't any other people around and I was outdoors and I was looking at the ocean and it was this beautiful uh landscape and then I experienced the end of this movie and I swear to God it's just mindblowing and you just won't know where it's going until you get to the end so um I would say very rarely have I felt as much from a

[5:20]

rarely have I felt as much from a film um somebody's asking me if I cried uh
uh yes about 5 minutes after I was done which is unique while it was happening I was just sort of blown away but um like 5 minutes later I actually teared up after it was over so it's it's uh incredibly well done so here's here's the part that is interesting I didn't think you could craft as much of a let's say a story arc as this does you know I thought it was going to be sort of a straight forward hey here's a bunch of fake news here's a bunch of fake news and it starts out like it's going to do that but man you have to don't be interrupted the last 10 minutes um it's it's it's well done on I would say every level from from directing to

[6:20]

say every level from from directing to writing to you know just the way they pieced it together to create a a higher level feeling um it's the thing this thing operates on several levels and I'm not sure everybody's going to pick up all the levels but it's it's pretty transforming somebody says do I get royalties I do not no um I'm just one of the people interviewed in the movies in the movie anyway so if you get a chance to check it out you'd really be doing yourself a favor how did it transform me um again I don't want to give away to too much but I'll just tell you that the Jordan Peterson part I he I think he changed my religious filter in in like just a couple minutes he he said something so profound that I'd never really heard put in those words that it made me question yeah it

[7:22]

words that it made me question yeah it was just it was it was just mindbending uh and you know I'd listen to a lot of him before and I hadn't heard him talk about the topic that he talked about on this I've seen quite a bit of his clips on YouTube and stuff so that's all I needed to say I'm going to keep it short the Super Bowl halim's on let's go watch that talk to you later
