0:50 spend some time together as well we get to the theater all excited to watch the Digimon flick uh we can even afford some popcorn drinks my parents looked happily and then the Angela Anaconda short comes on boys the Angela Anaconda short my parents the Angela Anaconda short at the very beginning of the film Tanner I literally have no idea what you're talking about he did [ __ ] watch the whole thing Jackson this [ __ ] Okay so I clicked on the [ __ ] link you sent me and I watched it so my parents don't speak English very well uh my little boy mind can't comprehend what the [ __ ] is going on my parents are UT confused by Canadian [ __ ] running around in a digimon suit I start crying and they pull me out of the theater my mom and dad start blaming
1:36 each other for what's going on with the film my Dad throws away the popcorn that my mom wanted lots of arguing and I'm still crying the whole time we get out to the parking lot and drive off in a rush like we get into an acent in the parking lot and my dad moves out a month later that [ __ ] [ __ ] wh Angela andaconda ruin my life guys so that's how the film starts okay that's how the film Starts Here F what was what is you missed a [ __ ] fever dream you miss a [ __ ] fever dream it's a it's a Twitter copy pasta [ __ ] Angela Anaconda Tanner how did you miss out on that t did you see that part did you send a picture of Angela Anaconda in the general chat how did the movie start for you we can't ni and I can't be the only ones that witnessed this listen I literally
2:22 clicked on the [ __ ] link that you sent in the general chat the link he sent doesn't have it for some reason we want then like why are you getting mad at me you shared the link dudee [ __ ] Angela Anaconda piece of [ __ ] the issue is he's referencing something off Twitter it wasn't from Twitter it was from fortun tenichi piece of [ __ ] so after that beginning bit we get into the Digimon movie proper okay now what happens in the Digimon movie is we open with the past okay the past where Ty and his little sister Kyrie get their very first Digimon okay it's an aumon who is not Tai's auman it's just a different aumon who I guess disappears eventually so this what this aimon ends up fighting a big bird all right a big
3:07 old [ __ ] bird and it's pretty sweet pretty cool animation the bird dies and then you know the aimon [ __ ] off apparently I guess four years later Ty and iier that the other Digi Destin BL are hanging out they find out there's a big old virus egg on the internet and it's [ __ ] [ __ ] up okay it's taking control of the internet at this point and they have to stop it Izzy's uh was a punk ass [ __ ] and it's not able to make it so they call in their other friends who they're all just busy I guess but a couple of their other friends are able to make it so they all team up they fight this [ __ ] virus things are looking pretty dicey so Ty and the other dude need to go into the internet s for some reason it's not explained why they themselves say that they have no idea why it happened but they go into the internet their Digimon fuse into omnimon
3:54 and it's [ __ ] sweet guys omnimon [ __ ] their [ __ ] up he destroys that Digimon with a second Despair and all the while the entire time they keep talking about how like hey there's this guy Willis out there by the way do you guys know about Willis we got to make sure you know about Willis because he's going to be real important later Willis Willis Willis and then they all don't know Willis so after this four years later in modern day apparently or something we don't know how long of a Time skip it is it just say modern day uh people are in America now okay the digi Destin it's an entirely new group of people they're all in America now and they meet Willis he's finally here guys Willis the fan favorite character Willis has showed up on the screen and his Digimon is like you know it got infected by a virus
4:39 apparently and it's a bad dude now it's a bad dude who is trying to murder Willis and all of his little friends so they go back to kill Willis's little pet bunny and they succeed and now it's a good guy and they play Allstar by Smashmouth the end they sure do holy [ __ ] so this movie is [ __ ] crazy guys yeah so like you know I've never seen I've seen bits and pieces of the show but not enough for any of this to make any [ __ ] sense I was I'm with you Tanner I was very confused throughout the entire experience and I was con asking question couldn't give me straight answers right I was like do you guys like SCA music dude I [ __ ] love Scot are you kidding me then this is the [ __ ] movie for you they're playing songs by Goldfinger every five [ __ ] seconds in this movie dude they got all
5:26 the hits they got Goldfinger they got the mighty mighty bossones they probably had some other sweet bands in there somewhere of course they had to cap it off with Allstar tender they had to do it I thought there was a thing that happens after the Cocoon thing no that's it what happened for you Tanner they cut out angel and a con but they added something else what happened man I can't remember is the problem awesome so it doesn't matter anyways will I really feel like there was something after the Cocoon bit cuz like isn't this movie like four little vignettes just kind of stitched together into a quote unquote movie okay so here's what happened Tanner here's what happened so digimon's this big thing
6:13 it's pretty popular you know not not the most popular thing in the world but it's pretty popular and so Fox kids they see that the Pokemon movie does super well at the box offices it [ __ ] blow [ __ ] out of the water it's crazy people are on dig Pokemon fever right now and fox is like hey we got to get this Digimon movie thing we got to get a movie for this there's a movie for it right and Japan tells them no and so fox says well we'll just make one how why don't we so what they do is they take two short films that are Digimon focused they they [ __ ] try and Stitch them together then they're like hang on this isn't quite long enough oh hang on there are these two Digimon ovas we'll grab those and also throw them in here how about that there there we go that's a featurelength movie it's a little long in the end uh the these ovas aren't like
6:58 as important so we're just going to like strip half an hour from that which is why the PAC is really [ __ ] bad in that La last section and they just stitch them together by like having Kyrie narrate over it and like oh hang on uh these aren't comprehensive at all so let's have them constantly talk about Willis Willis is really important he's in the OVA guys let's keep talking about Willis and so they're like okay sweet we got this now hang on there's a show called Angela anonda it seems like kind of popular I guess let's put this at the beginning of the film as well and that's how we get the Digimon movie interesting yeah so so uh the evil acts of the demons in the Underworld uh schemed and plotted together to make a bad movie is what you're saying it's not a bad movie though Kyler that's the thing this movie
7:44 is [ __ ] K this the movie sounds a bit too similar to that one movie that one anime one where the girls shoot viruses in our a eyes it sounds a bit too much like that no no no no no that movie sucks Kyler this movie is really good though okay L this movie suff this one suffers from the same problem as the first Evangelion one we watch where it's not a movie what do you mean tan it's very obviously a movie I feel I feel like this one is a much more closed and cut story than the Aang gelan movie I'm going to be hon I like the aangan movie obviously because like we we get the story arc of like the virus or whatever and then the virus had like an adjacent effect to Kon or whatever in which case
8:31 that's like the ending like villain of it and then it ends with you know them defeating that and like resolving the plot yeah it was still very disjointed yeah Nico literally just explained how these aren't cohesive plots but they made it to be yeah they made they made it into they removed the that weren't cohesive what what what's up with this new group of Digi Destin when I didn't even really know the first group well you see Tanner they're from the second Digimon series okay like the the middle bit the good part of the film uh that's that takes place after the first season after the first series uh and then like after that they're like okay we're starting a new Digimon series
9:16 and that's where the OST is happening okay not OST the OVA that that's the third part of this thing it's all about those guys now okay th those characters who we do not meet whatsoever we only know Davis Kind of Kyrie and we meet Willis the rest of the characters don't matter though okay we don't care about those guys why is Davis just Tai because he's the new protagonist when I literally thought it I literally thought it was just Tai when I saw him I was like are they [ __ ] with me it's just just TI but like he had like a tan or something yeah that's why they're they're the two protagonists they need to make them similar to each other yeah so conversely to our last two films this film has a problem of being too fast-paced and uh I I literally don't
10:03 know who anyone is or what their relationships to each other are I don't know how the Digimon work I don't know how the digital world works I don't know why anything is happening I don't know what the motivation behind any of the characters or villains are and uh I'm just very confused the entire time but some of the fights look kind of cool I guess the animation in this movie is really good yeah the the animation is surprisingly solid for what it was I thought it was going to look like [ __ ] ass but it was surprisingly comp in also what the [ __ ] doesn't I why was auman saying like pepper flame it's supposed to be pepper breath pepper flame that's his attack dude what he do breath it's just what he does I I swear I swear to God that he the thing he yells in the show is pepper breath not
10:48 pepper flame I'm going to be honest Tanner I think I only watched like maybe two episodes of the show so I couldn't tell you all right tenichi apparently also watched this movie what was your favorite scene of this whole entire film dude I liked when they hacked into the Digimon sphere and then they had to [ __ ] go destroy him they had to freeze him and P they had to freeze the the the I like some of the fights I like the middle fight I don't like the ending fight I think I I told you this lava skid when yeah the middle fight about uh when they made copies when the guy had to make Co or he [ __ ] his like DNA dig evolved is I think what it's called in the movie Dig evolve he
11:35 dig evolved into a different Digimon was he so Nico you mentioned they added some references to Willis in that part to make it kind of not really connect to the next part yeah were did he actually try to Nuke Colorado or is that just one of the lines they added oh no absolutely not basically every single mention of Willis is just like like added into this he has no part in any of this in the original like when you see flashbacks during like the second portion where it's like oh look this is what Willis is doing right now guys Willis is doing this [ __ ] right now that's not in the original whatsoever a lot of the dialogue in this as well is just not in the original like a bunch of the random jokes they're making all this random [ __ ] like Tai's mom being a bad cook that's not in the original but I
12:20 think it's all very silly I think it was all very worthy inclusions I'm happy that they did it yeah I I quite like uh the inclusion of uh trying to Nuke Colorado that's my from the if I remember correctly he hacked computers he hacked like [ __ ] the US military Jesus Christ he hacked yeah the Pentagon that's what he hacked he hacked the Pentagon and tried to [ __ ] launch nuclear missiles yeah why was he doing that uh because he wanted to murder Willis yeah yeah yeah but I mean like in the original clip why was he did he even do that had viruses in it yeah so in the original he was just like setting off a
13:05 bunch of nuclear bombs to kill people oh oh yeah cuz he wants to murder humans okay okay that's very you're going to say something before and then we rudely cut you off what was that about I was just going to talk about the dialogue in this movie in general uh like absolutely the thing that carried this movie everything I'm nothing made any [ __ ] sense at any point I didn't care about anything but the dialogue was funny and that was basically the only thing I care about throughout this entire movie like they're very witty and just like randomly just constantly laying off like in like just super like witty dialogue out of nowhere uh which you know really kept my focus if we didn't have that [ __ ] it would have been a really [ __ ] boring and bad movie uh like a a holy hard to watch movie but thank God like
13:53 when like I still think my favorite scene is when the the kid's crying over Willis talking about his like sad back story story against a tree and he's like it's I'm supposed to be sad not you get over it he's like okay I'm over it and like immediately stops crying and just turns around continues the movie the movie was pretty funny with that I'll give about that well you see Jackson that that's part of the whole uh they cut 30 minutes out of the OVA thing that I mentioned so in the original it's not quite that fast he he still really comes back from it pretty quickly just cuz that's who Davis is he's a funloving guy but yeah they do give it like one extra little moment before he's just okay with it you know okay yeah well I think I think it ended well for a comedy sake I feel like the editors knew what they were doing like this is so [ __ ] crazy
14:40 and stupid let's just make it funny and I think they accomplished that pretty well yeah and I think that is a very important part to highlight uh a lot of the big like you know uh praise that I have towards the movie like the [ __ ] animation all that [ __ ] uh that's really pretty exclusive to the first 2third of the film the last third where it goes in the OVA things are not anywhere near as good there that's where like all the [ __ ] pacing issues and [ __ ] are because you know everything's [ __ ] butchered at that point like especially the final fight it's kind of difficult to tell really what's happening at that point like they [ __ ] dig evolve all these [ __ ] Digimon who do absolutely nothing they just show up and say their names and look like Digimon and then they just nothing else happens with them it's pretty rough that first fight
15:26 animation though that was sick when he was the Little D was walking around the town fighting the bird that was a really good animation that was really sweet they do the whistle to wake him up it's [ __ ] awesome man I'm a big fan I'm a big fan now Tanner so qu question uhhuh you mentioned how it's a different auman yeah is that why why it's a different size than auman is supposed to be or did they just not have that [ __ ] figured out yeah no it's just a different aumon and that for some reason that means it can be five times the size of other auman I guess so why is it a different auman uh unclear cuz Ty doesn't get his actual aimon until like much later right
16:12 did did they all start as this cute little fluffy babies yeah they also why can't they stay like that they can if they want to awesome yeah it's their choice why don't they uh because they want to look more marketable I guess I think I do want to say the Digimon rap at the opening of this was pretty funny dude the Digimon rap was [ __ ] fire I don't know if it counts as rap if all you're doing is just saying sentences where you're starting every single [ __ ] noun with the with Digi yeah yeah but you know dude it's the digi volution it's starting to Revolution it's a Digi Evolution starting a Digi Revolution I think you mean there there we go there we go now Tanner hypothetical question here for
16:58 you yeah yeah do you think you could take a bunny blast a what a bunny blast do you think you could take one which one was the bunny blast the bunny it's the one where he shoots the bunny blast yeah the terriermon he fires a bunny blast that's that's Willis's guy right yeah yeah uh you know honestly the bunny blast looked pretty devastating I don't think I'd survived that one fair dude fair I expected you to say you could to be honest here all righty boys so final thoughts on the film tanichi um dude next time they should invest in creating a movie that actually discusses the topics of blowing up Colorado with a nuclear device they
17:44 would make more than $10 million at the box office there are quite a lot of Digimon movies we I need to Plum through that catalog there might be one that does that yeah Nico's starting a new series here that's right you guys start your [ __ ] I'm starting mine anyway te you want to start us off with your rating dude I give this movie a solid [Music] C+ I'm so glad you said C+ cuz that's literally the exact rank I gave it as well yeah unfortunately cinematography and animation and all that doesn't make up for how boring this sitting through this was boring I think it was anything but boring to be honest I was very entertained throughout most of it it was just like really bad
18:29 funny this is an incredibly entertaining film so much hang on a second I was going to say a thing Tanner so much so Dylan gave an A+ wow um you know just brought back a lot of childhood memories had a lot of good action was pretty well animated um the movie was extremely fast-paced um which to me in the moment didn't bother me at all I know that's definitely something Nico and Jackson brought up um and I would definitely say that unless You' watched the show before now this movie was probably extremely confusing to you because it introduced a lot of characters um whether they were the humans or the Digimon really quickly um and they also just introduced a bunch of dig volutions and all the special armor stuff that I barely remember so I honestly grief for the people who were less educated on this movie but uh yeah
19:15 just generally overall enjoyed the action um enjoyed the voice acting again thought the animation was great um and you know what I know it was fast-paced but I honestly enjoyed that a lot so I think in the end of this all uh I'm going be giving the Digimon movie an A+ um the reason I the only [Music] takebackspace yeah funny oh you know he
20:00 would have uh I'm personally going to give it a B I think I'm giving it a c minus C minus Jesus Christ hearing his C minus makes me want to drop mine down to a c minus as well I I I gave it a plus because I felt like because lava skin thought it was entertaining and like the dialogue maybe but sitting back thinking about it now I would rather have my [ __ ] time back it was so entertaining though are you kidding me I would much rather watch this film than the [ __ ] Patriot okay yeah I'd rather give it a c minus I wish I watched the Patriot that's got Mel Gibson in it it does dude Mel Gibson is also in this no he's not that' be great
20:47 if he was he's [Laughter] AUM auman as voiced by Mel Gilson anyways that that puts to movie at a solid B [Music] minus fun fact by the way the Digimon movie was directed by the same guy who directed wolf children wow I can't believe he's got such misses on his resume shut the [ __ ] up I'll never talk to you again what did you direct those wolf children to do uh grow
21:34 [Music] up
