1st Time Watching "Paul" | MOVIE REVIEW

[@shhhhhh62]

A very underrated movie. It misses the Edgar Wright touch but it’s definitely a worthwhile watch and should be more revered.

[@Uygkuyfkutfkytfkutfv]

I prefer it to the world’s end.

[@Ugo2sleep]

True words. Edgar Wright wouldn't have allowed this. Stil better than world's end...

[@leah-marie5031]

Well Edgar Wright didn't direct it

[@Ugo2sleep]

@@leah-marie5031 nope, film would've been much better if he had though. Also alot of the stuff that happens is based on real UFO accounts from experts in the field such as Dr Greer, who I'm convinced is a hack, but still it's not just plucked out of thin air....

[@Muck006]

The problem is that the "big guy reveal" at the end ... isnt a reveal the second time around anymore, so it loses a lot of the final excitement.

[@EvelyntMild]

The landmark they got to Devil's Tower is famous from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Classic Speilberg, worth a watch if you haven't seen it. Cheers, glad you dig the movie

[@ericlayton8888]

Close Encounters is genuinely my favourite alien movie, nothing else quite like it imo

[@fayesouthall6604]

@@ericlayton8888 it comes on tv anytime I will watch it at any point!

[@SirHilaryManfat]

I've not seen one reaction to this movie, where the reactors have got that reference. Makes me sad that so many people have missed out on Close Encounters.

[@chrisperyagh]

@@SirHilaryManfat Also Muncie and Moorcroft - both in Close Encounters.

[@GodlessScummer]

I remember when I watched this in the cinema and I remember thinking all the way through the movie "I recognise the voice of the woman Agent Zoil is speaking to" but I couldn't think who it was. I loved it when it turned out to be Sigourney Weaver.

[@swanvictor887]

This is one of my fave Sci-fi movies for one very simple reason: IT'S FUN!! Haven't you missed Fun, in the films of the last ten years or so?! Everybody really seemed to be having a ball making this film and it shows. Witty, fun script, good effects and the actors having fun, great story, awesome soundtrack with lots of ELO...what more do you need?!

[@ianjones9498]

and more sci fi references than you can count the band in the road house playing the star wars tavern music cracks me up every time

[@Paul_Allaker8450]

The Mountain was a call back to Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind (A Spielberg sci-fi film). So glad you chose to review this film, its so underrated. 👍🏻

[@fayesouthall6604]

Not underrated. It’s amazingly good

[@marybeaird6171]

If you can get hold of it, the British TV series "Spaced" for more Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. On the surface it's a sitcom about two people sharing a flat in London, but it has loads of SF and cult TV references all the way through. There's a mode on the DVD that lists all of the callbacks as they come up.

[@jasonyoung7705]

"That by the way is rain that you hear in the background" Alot of us are British, we know what rain sounds like :P

[@46ChickRock]

The location they went to Devils Mountain is a famous scene in Close Encounters of the third kind it's a Stephen Spielberg movie Richard Dreyfuss Stars in it. And the line "get away from her you bitch" was a line Sigourney Weaver used in Aliens, I recommend you watch both movies.....but if you watch Aliens which is a sequel to Alien you'll need to watch, also with Sigourney Weaver.

[@corringhamdepot4434]

Morecombe & Wise were reluctant to do BBC TV comedy skits while sharing a double bed, until somebody pointed out that Laurel & Hardy did it all the time in their films. 👍🙂

[@fayesouthall6604]

Love this film. A fantastic group of comic actors like Bill Hader and Jason Bateman. Really underrated.

[@Monty-in-gumboots]

Guys, I loved this reaction. The cool thing about Simon Pegg and Nick Frosts movies is they put soooo much in them that they have great re-watch-ability. Even after 3, 4+ times rewatching you always pick up new little bits.

[@falaramal3979]

Nick and Simon actually used to share a bed when they were still struggling actors. there's a reason they're such good mates

[@graceygrumble]

When people say "If you're not a science fiction/alien nerd, you won't get half the references," they are right. But, it doesn't matter. It's still funny.

[@andrewobrien6671]

Surprised that you didn't recognise Sigourney Weaver (Ripley) from the Alien films playing the mysterious leader. I'd recommend Simon Pegg and Derren Brown clip (Not too long) of Simon be mind manulation performed on him. Then once you have discovered Derren Brown you will be down a whole new rabbit hole. Hero at 30,000 Feet is a good one to start with.

[@nicholakeeble7172]

🤣🤣🤣 so happy you guys watched it haha I knew you would love it! Also I want Daniel’s laugh as my text notification 😉🤣❤❤❤

[@andrewpeters6339]

All Simon Pegg films are great. All worth a watch and massively underrated. You have many more to do!

[@davenewmannewman]

Loving being on this journey with you guys!

[@metmanjeff]

Love that you love this. One of my favourite movies. Why not give the (Uk) sitcom “Spaced” a go? It’s where it all started for Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Or the sketch show “Big Train”….

[@CTheRobot]

This Movie does have it all. So much heart and so much fun. One of those that everybody loves but just don’t seem to talk about anymore. Filled with references to other classic nerdy or sci fi films too. Brilliant.

[@SharmanSomerset]

Love watching you two react to this and perfect timing having watched the other movies. I know it gets mentioned to you a lot but their original series Spaced will give some real insight into where they came from and you’ll see a lot of familiar faces from the movies too! Other movie recommendations would be Attack the Block, Son of Rambow, and Four Lions- all very different but all brilliant x

[@fayesouthall6604]

Attack the block, Four Lions yes yes!

Been great watching this along with you - haven’t seen this film in ages, but somehow knew you’d appreciate it 😊

[@brianhanna3128]

Spaced. You've got to watch it, I can't imagine you not really enjoying it - Simon Pegg co-wrote, Edgar Wright directs, Pegg & Frost acting in it along with a lot of great British comedians and actors too, plus I think you'd also really enjoy Close Encounters of the Third Kind too, Richard Dreyfus is just superb in it. Keep up the good work guys :)

[@palmeristo]

Sweet! Hope u guys enjoyed another Simon and Nick classic

[@choomah]

Don't worry, we have the legal term 'Alien' here too. My mum was classed as an alien when she was born in Germany on a British base to English parents.

[@Penddraig7]

We know what alien means, it’s not a derogatory term and it’s not used for non white people who are illegal immigrants, it refers to anybody from another country, illegal alien is used for an illegal immigrant and again, it’s not derogatory, the word alien literally means belonging to a foreign country, it comes from the Latin alienus meaning belonging to another which comes from the Latin Alius meaning other which comes from the Welsh word All meaning other.

[@arifeannor9573]

Hey give em a break, they are american.

[@stewedfishproductions7959]

@Penddraig : I know... Spencer thinking he has to 'explain' TO Brits, the meaning of a gag that has been written into a film BY Brits... DOH! (Spencer, if you read this, that word is often used by Homer Simpson in an American cartoon series - Just saying 🙃). PLUS explaining the English language to the English - Ha Ha Ha 🥰 People from the UK are a LOT sharper and faster on the uptake than MANY Americans - especially with Wwwoooossshhh moments, sarcastic comments and banter (like this is intended). 😎 😅 😂 🤣

[@JonathanReynolds1]

You should react to “Galaxy Quest” - I love that movie!

[@fayesouthall6604]

Yes definitely

[@daveofyorkshire301]

_The term "alien" is derived from the Latin alienus. The Latin later came to mean a stranger, a foreigner, or someone not related by blood_ So actually you're using it correctly.

[@DrCookie6996p]

widely used too, though not normally related to skin colour

1:07:43 end credits are part of the every movie, you have only seen movie in it's full if you watch the end credits. So if you really appreciate this art form, you watch the credits always.

[@swanvictor887]

Oh thank God its not just me!!

[@Pablo.B0208]

The mountain is a reference to Close encounters of the 3rd Kind, (remember earlier in the film when he was on the phone to “Mr Spielberg”).

As a former resident of Wyoming, there is a town of Moorcroft ( it's in the middle of nowhere) and Thermopolis. I was shocked when they actually named those towns. I grew up in Worland. Thermopolis is 28 miles south of Worland.

[@seanmccoy675]

Great film! Not many people react to nice choice 👏

[@MsDaver1000]

I find it interesting the joke when the cop asks how do British police shoot people seemed to go over your heads. For me this is the funniest joke of the movie, a subtle dig at US gun laws. The cop seems to see shooting people as part of his job.

[@peterbailey4222]

There are a lot of sc-fi references in this movie. "You'll know it when you see it" is said in reference to the rock formation because its a landmark in the movie "Close encounters of the third kind" and im pretty sure a similar set peice appears in (i think its called) race to witch mountain...

[@paultipton743]

You need to check out Attack The Block. Nick Frost has a small part in this but it was the film that launched John Boyega. Really great film that does not get anywhere near as much attention as it should.

[@MattBirch1991]

Finally! The one we were waiting for. Its an epically funny movie

[@Welsh_Dragon756]

One of my favourite weekends ever was at a star wars conversation dressed as a sith with the full black robes and red and yellow contact lenses 😂 I always wanted to do it but it wasn't such a thing here in the UK when I was a kid. We didn't even do Halloween like you American's growing up. I was nervous as hell leaving my hotel dressed like that and even though me and my friend had a laugh with it we were totally mocked by a group who were drinking in the hotel bar. Once we were in the conversation though it was fantastic and had an absolute blast.

[@thesaltnation5570]

Underrated movie af

[@Hurbie_53]

@1:03:35 "Get away from her you bitch" is an exact quote from Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver) playing here, well, said bitch lol Such an awesome underrated movie!

[@Korrihor]

Also Zoyle shooting the radio and saying "Boring conversation anyway" is a Han Solo quote and "See you later Short Round" is Indiana Jones

[@kyleowen3371]

Ive watched this film countless amount of times and i NEVER got that alien reference 😅👌 thankyou..

[@esteban280889]

This is more American than the cornetto trilogy in terms of humour I find

Yeah, it's definitely written more for an international audience.

[@chesterlester5770]

It still has the British touch by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost imo but I see what you mean

[@Axeman744]

I've watched this movie a few times and it's so funny, you guys made me appreciate just how clever the writing is.

[@GodlessScummer]

The bit yoy didn't get is the Devil's Tower in Wyoming. It was famously used in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

I like all the film references in this movie from Aliens, Jaws, Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek, Buck Rogers, Indiana Jones, ET - these are the ones I know of. Plus the joke around Zoil’s name which is a name of a movie Lorenzo’s Oil 😂 Great movie.

I have a silly question, as a British person! Hotel rooms, in the UK: "Single" = one person one bed. "Double" = two people one bed. "Twin" = two people two beds. But it's not the same in America, is it?! In Stranger Things, two characters ask for a hotel room, and the woman on the counter asks "single or double", and they both shout "double!" and jump apart - but that would be one bed in the UK!!
