Happy Hour #39 - The World's End (feat. MauLer)

[@Garrus1995]

I loved how the dynamic between Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s characters change between the films. In Shaun of the Dead, Frost is a slacker who holds back Pegg from living a better life. In Hot Fuzz, Frost in an inexperienced cop who tries to learn from Pegg how to be a better officer while also teaching him how to unwind and be a better man. Then in this film Frost is the serious career man who is sick of his manipulative friend and tries to tell him to grow up and take responsibility for his life. A great contrast in each film.

World's End isn't as good as the other two but being the lesser movie doesn't mean it's bad... it just means that World's End is Excellent, Shaun of the Dead is Fantastic, and Hot Fuzz is Superb.

How odd you mention this. I loved World's End, found Shawn of the Dead to be very good, but was confused with the humour in Hot Fuzz. To me, Hot Fuzz was the weaker of the three. Fascinating. :)

I'm a huge Edgar Wright fan, but have to admit on first viewing the bleak Coda to The Worlds End kinda threw me. On subsequent viewings I totally got it. The scene where Simon Pegg was pouring his heart out to Nick Frost about his life regrets actually had me in tears. I was going through a divorce at the time and man did that really hit me in the gut. Absolutely love the Cornetto trilogy and eagerly await Last Night in Soho.

[@kylemayernik8784]

First time I saw The World’s End, I was a little confused myself, but after watching it a second time, I started to understand this movie on many different levels. I’ve rewatched this movie around 9 times and I have to say, it’s probably one of my favorite movies of all time, I personally like it more than the previous two, though they are still incredible. And yes, of course, the dynamic between Simon Pegg and Nick Frost is so strong, especially in the end where for the first time they are actually fighting. This movie is severely underrated

[@ben2741]

Gary’s speech at the world’s end hits me in the feels “nothing happened!” I think so many men feel this way and can’t express it

Right, I think so many of us thought we'd at least had the shot out parents did, work hard and you'll make it. For us it's work hard and you might make it to the end of the month.

The line “I don’t want to be sober!” Makes me really sad and I can relate to it tbh

[@braxtonagee412]

Same. Don't mean to get maudlin on you, but I really think it hits the heart of a lost generation that thought success meant material gain or external recognition when, in fact, meaning and purpose are the most necessary pursuits. It also hits on the tendency we all have to romanticize the past as we gradually forget that being a teenager/20-something sucked balls.

@@floridaman3823Or worse "work hard and you will just get by, and you will never stop working until the day you drop for good" Hell in Australia they are pushing retirement further and further up, give it a decade and it will probably be 70 to get a pension.

@@braxtonagee412So true, even now I still have moments of remembering the past and I have to force myself to NOT cover up the negative stuff and pretend it was all daisy's and sunshine. The other issue was that it was not just material things, it was our parents generation and the grandparents who could not understand how much the world has changed and thus had higher expectations of us. A good example, I was on welfare when younger and still living at home, my dads thought I was on easy street. Then Covid came and even before that my dad was wearing his body out, then HE ended up on the welfare system in Australia....... he never said it to me, but my mother mentioned that he had complained about the system and how punishing it can be, until she reminded him that this system is the same one I had been in. Apparently he got a look on his face that my mother said was like he figured out "Oh so that is why my son was depressed and taking shitty jobs from dodgy employers to get away from this crap system and I gave him hell for it all the time..... damn I sucked as a father for that"

[@Daniel-cp2ps]

I thought the worlds end was the best of the 3. I really clicked with Gary Kings depair but also all the other characters thoughts on getting older. Absolutely brilliant funny film.

[@parsa1372]

My fav for sure no competition but i can argue how hot fuzz's script is tighter (this movie is still awesome and underrated af tho...a solid 8.5/10 or higher ill die on this hill)

The fights were choreographed by former Jackie Chan Stunt Team member Brad Allan (who coincidentally also choreographed the Kingsman movies and lots of other stuff) who sadly passed away this month. He did fantastic work and his death is a loss to the world. RIP

[@charlesrense5199]

World's End definitely resonates most with me, having come along in my early 40s. I like Hot Fuzz, but Shaun has always been way better in my opinion. But World's End eclipses both for me. The other two are great as genre riffs, but this one has the most to say.

[@Darragh7]

The Worlds End is actually my favourite of the 3. It's sad, its funny, it's mature, it's scary and it's ballsy enough to destroy the whole world. It's also very relatable to people in quite sad ways I feel

[@scionofdorn9101]

Hot Fuzz is mine, but this one takes second place. Shaun of the Dead has such an unexpected tonal shift in it that I found it off-putting until I was able to appreciate the trilogy as a whole.

[@matthewmalleus7135]

Can't see how any fans of the trilogy wouldn't love this one. It's perfect.

[@charlesrense5199]

Stopped the video last night to watch the movie again, and let me just say: the ending speech about obstinate humanity is my answer to these times of overreaching covid restrictions and woke institutional capture.

I still think The World s End was really good for what it was. In most trilogies, the makers usually just repeat the first one. I am glad the Cornetto crew didnt do that. They had to be more serious for this film to stand out. And I think it worked. Plus the post apocalyptic ending is classic

[@trequor]

I would certainly agree with that. He was obviously great in the other two, but this role is definitely more challenging and he nailed it.

[@georgeedward1226]

The movie was a real slice-of-life film depicting British pub culture. For Americans, a bar is a bar. In Britain a pub is exactly what it's called, a public house, and with all the personal human dramas you get in any private home.

Listened to this one last night and sat down tonight to re-re-re-re-re-re-watch the actual movie. Something I hadn't picked up before. In the Two Headed Dog where Gary drags Sam into the disabled there is a sign on the wall - "Please do not put excess towels down the loo", which as we remember is the possible reason Gary gives Sam earlier in the movie for the first disabled toilets being out of order. Nice call back :)

The trouble with those is that the first one is easily the best. It's head and shoulders above the rest. I actually think that the quality of movies 2-4 are about the same, though I personally like World's End (lol) the best of those, and number 5 is actual trash.

I think the pessimism expressed by the aliens in the finale is what kills this movie for me. Because that stubborn resistance to change, the ability to stand up and fight against our fate, to struggle against the inevitable is what makes us great, but rather than learn that the aliens are just "screw it" and emp the whole planet. It's a movie I want to like, but there's just something missing about it - And while I totally relate to the "old friends growing apart" theme, it could be as simple as me not getting "bar culture" or whatever the term is.

Just now watched The World's End (don't know why I've never even heard of it before), but I like Simon Pegg as an actor. Glad Critical Drinker and Mauler liked it, too, as I like their critiques. Of course, I was 1/3 of the way into a bottle of Jim Bean when I watched the movie, but I thought it was very in-depth in it's character creation and plot ending, since the human race is irrational, quirky and not the most promising species, but we manage to survive in the end.

I think the reason people like Shaun of the dead and hot fuzz more is because it’s a brilliant spoof like films. It’s always entertaining.

Glad the sound got mentioned by the boys. Rewatching just earlier and there is the scene where they are trying to find out from the Rev. Green if they are robots or not and suddenly the phone rings. That ring tone on a 5.1 is set up to ONLY come out of one speaker and the effect is like a jump scare. Wright is a movie god. It was hearing he had been kicked from Antman that made me really give up on the MCU. If Edgar was not good enough for Marvel, then basically Marvel can go jump.

Standard response to Hobbit-based Eagle complaints - “how dare these birds refuse to fly the protagonists into Dragon country… there couldn’t possibly be any form of Apex Predator living there that might in some way pose a threat to large birds.” You’re damn right giant eagles ain’t going anywhere close to the Lonely Mountain until they’re damn sure the dragon is dead.

[@KoaWaylander]

Pretty much. The LOTR Eagle complaints are another similar annoying thing. Up until the ring is destroyed there are at least 4 Nazgul all of which have access to flying mounts guarding Mordor's borders. The only time they are not there is when they are chasing after Frodo/the ring directly (meaning that they wouldn't be following Frodo if the ring was elsewhere). I think the Nazgul get underestimated pretty heavily because we see them 'defeated' by Aragorn and by Eowyn. The only reason either of them have a chance is their bloodlines and fate, anyone else would be destroyed by the 9. Ain't no way you are getting the eagles to fly in there with multiple Nazgul hanging around.

[@rsccrplyr]

I'm pretty early in the video, so don't know if this'll be brought up, but I think I've got some reasoning as to why this is not as good as the other two in the trilogy. First I want to say that I've only seen world's end once and quite a while ago, so I'll concede that I may be off a bit. But, I've got 3 main reasons. First, I think, as you've pointed out, it's not quite as tight a script as hot fuzz or Shaun of the dead. Second, the relationship of Simon Pegg's character and Nick Frost is quite different, and in the other two the chummy relationship between them is almost contagious, in the world's end, sure it makes sense and they act well, but their relationships in the other two movies seemed like a contagious laugh, you don't know exactly why, but the laughter just spreads to you when you hear it. Third reason is the ending. I somewhat forget bits of the ending, but I remember that Simon Pegg's character ends up kinda befriending essentially clones of his friends and it ends with them rolling up to a bar or something... In Shaun of the dead the major character arc for Shaun is taking control of his life and not just watching it pass by, his best friend is a bad influence and kinda holds him back even though Shaun loves the guy. In the end, Shaun takes the reigns and becomes leader of their group, he saves his Gf, it looks like he's a more motivated guy, but still has his best friend as a zombie he likes to visit now and again. In Hot Fuzz, his character is a workaholic who doesn't know how to make real relationships. His arc is knowing how and when to shut it off and be buds with someone. In the world's end, from what I recall, Simon Pegg's character doesn't want to grow up and wants his best friends to essentially stay in Nederland with him forever. In the end he's got clones of his best friends to do exactly that, so maybe he becomes a better friend throughout the movie or whatever, but the overall arc is that he continues to live in a fantasy and doesn't have to change because his friends are now cloned versions of his ideal thoughts of them. Essentially in the first two movies, Simon Pegg' character works his ass off on his character not to get what he wants, but to be who it is good for him to be. In world's end, he fucks around a bit, might have some sort of resolution with some friends, but ultimately becomes the person he wanted to be from the start.

[@misternobody3481]

[@_Snafu_]

I think the reason Andy downed the shots was because finding out there is an alien invasion was just the last straw of what was his downward spiraling life. Because remember his wife left, him took the kids, and he felt miserable at work, so looking back on that scene that’s the only thing I could assume was his reason-on top of dealing with Gary.

Naturally opinions will vary according to personal tastes but, for me at least, ‘World’s End is a tour de force that’s by far the best of the trilogy. There, I said and yes, I know, I’m in a very small minority on that one but who cares! In fact it was something of a revelation when I first watched it convinced as I was that the third Cornetto film would be a load of complacent old toss written, acted and directed by talents well and truly burnt out by that point. But against all expectations the opposite proved to be true. Brimming with rapier wit, well crafted, compelling characters, ingenious sight gags and hidden subtext aplenty, WE is one of cinema’s very few ‘final film of the trilogy’ that doesn’t feel like merely a contractual obligation. Just checking out IMDB’s trivia page showed me just how many references, concepts and wry nods I _still_ miss, despite numerous repeat viewings! Effing superb.

On the other hand she had a blast with Hot Fuzz and Wold's End, finding Gary to be a better realized asshole character than Ed.

[@trequor]

Shaun of the Dead doesn't hit the same as it did during the zombie craze. For those of us who lived through the zombie craze without seeing Shaun of the Dead, it comes off as a little too predictable and "sellout-y".

Has some incredibly smart writing, a lovable cast of characters u want to see make it to the end, and where the mistakes don't take you out of the moment, plus tons and tons of great trivia. I highly reccomend them if u need ideas for halloween.

Don't forget the "Tar Man" in Return - one of the most recognizable zombies from any zombie film (together with Bub from Day Of The Dead).

Lotr would have to be happy hour 100 I'd thought

I love all three but World’s End is just so poignant. I guess it’s my time of life

[@domhunt]

Have you ever watched “Withnail and I” drinker? One of the greatest British films of all time, and it’s about a DRINKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@charlesrense5199]

That is a movie that I should have watched when I was younger. I saw it on the local video store's shelf every time I went in, and never rented it. Then I watched a few years ago and was like "where has this movie been all my life?"

[@chord972]

Excellent. Thank you.

I was expecting Mauler to say "go back to sleep, Drinker" at the end :D

The movie where the na'er-do-well gets exactly what he wants, he becomes an adventurer leading a band of merrymen in a post-apocalyptic hellscape. Everyone else gets fuck all - and the world suffered the deaths of billions and returned to medieval population levels - and the fat character goes - "Life is better and simpler than before the apocalypse - I mean, if my glasses are ever stolen or destroyed, I'll be fucked - but life is better - I love me some copium." What a great movie.

It may sound strange but the whole 12 pints being an epic challenge was a really difficult plot to take. I know it sounds crazy but that just wasn't an unreachable target when I was younger(when I first watched the film).

[@TheB00tyWarrior]

I agree from a practical perspective. I think it's supposed to represent a rite of passage. 'becoming an adult.'

[@nicholasvinen]

It's a lot for a novice drinker though. Body weight plays a big part too.

[@apocolipsthegeekguru2980]

I think that Gary King either just left or broke out of rehab. I mean yall said he was at AA at the beginning, but all do respect, thats silly. Why would Gary Freaking King be in AA? It makes way more sense that he was in some sort of court ordered rehab, like he says, they tried to tell him when to sleep which is what they do in rehab, dont know if yall have ever been. And when they get pulled over in the beginning he searches himself frantically and then goes "oh yea I did it all in the service" or something like that, then sniffs and smiles at Nick Frost, so Im pretty sure thats implying that he did coke in the bathroom when they stop, which Martin Freeman actually suggests is what hes doing.

[@ngmcgar79]

Fine. I'll watch it again. Seriously, it's been years.

[@kyle-rj3vy]

I think the next one should be the full monty.

[@kevinappel1847]

Lol... I think they missed why someone asked if the plushy was stain resistant.

[@cplusp1977]

Hot Fuzz was made for only 8,000,000 & the collective cast has nearly 1000 acting awards between them including numerous BAFTA's and Oscars. Call Edgar, Simon & Nick and start crowdfunding. Do it.

[@floridaman3823]

The next Cornetto movie must include The Drinker and Mauler. I will ensure this! FLORIDA MAN!!!

[@Ft.Gagiano]

Good discusion. I think why it didn't get more love. Was cause there was American movie called world's end or At the end of the world. round the same time. Which may have confused Movie goers. But I'm sure the darker theme's which hot Fuzz and Shaun of the dead had. also put people off.

[@chadburtelson9423]

I really enjoyed the Worlds End.

[@pursuestrength9024]

My we have many more videos of this dynamic duo. Long live Drinker and the Longman!
