    Netflix has been absolutely churning out content over the past few years, and seem to have settled on a formula that works for them. Attract massive names by paying them a ton of money, and then let those big names draw people to the platform. Oh and also make a movie. After the success of movies like Red Notice and Extraction, Netflix is back with another original action movie, this time starring Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling and Ana de Armas.
    The Gray Man does raise some questions though. Like why don’t any of these people kill each other when given the chance? Why do Sierra Six’s mentors keep blowing themselves up to buy time? How does Six plan to escape with Claire when she has a trackable pacemaker? What’s with the 10,000 drone shots?
    To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to The Gray Man! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

      Fun fact: The only Mission Impossible movie where Ethan Hunt is not a rogue agent fighting bad agents from his own faction, is Mission Impossible 2, where he actually does follow the mission, to Stop a rogue agent fighting bad agents from his own team (where have I heard that before?), until he realizes he's being used, and goes rogue to still stop the rogue agent fighting bad agents from his own faction: but to do it on his terms! Which is fascinating, because IMF teams appear to have zero oversight or rules of engagement anyways, and full autonomy - so the need to constantly go rogue shouldn't even make sense in this franchise.

    The irony of this entire film is that the concept of "a small, gray man" is to have field operatives be entirely unremarkable physically. Not too tall or too short. Not too fat or too fit. Not too ugly or handsome. So they are fairly impossible to recognize and never draw attention. To cast Ryan Gosling, Sexiest Man of the Year 20whatever is just hilarious. Should've cast Paul Giamatti or, if you want young, Jake Johnson.

    One thing I thought was weird was that the ending kinda implied that Six became Claire’s unofficial guardian? But they would have to spend their lives on the run and the stress that comes with that lifestyle probably wouldn’t be good for her heart condition.
    Also, Claire doesn’t have any living relatives. So the only reasonable explanation for someone to use her as a hostage would be to manipulate Six. But if Six had gone back to prison like they’d planned, there’d be nothing to manipulate him about so she’d be safe.

    I didn't read ALL the comments, but why does it seem like NO ONE is talking about what they had for breakfast!? You all keep yammering on about how funny this video is or stuff about the movie, ignoring the important question about breakfast!
    I for one, fried some bacon bits in butter, then dumped sharp cheddar cheese on that and fried it until the cheese was crispy, then I poured scrambled eggs on the crispy bacon cheese disc and let it coat it, flipping it at just the right time so I had like an omelette type thing but filled with crispy bacon cheese. I've never done this before, and I'm not sure what inspired it today, but it was delicious, and I'll be doing it again, and I feel like it was fate that Ryan asked me what I had for breakfast today, because normally it's just nothing or boring cold cereal.

    I had a couple black coffees this morning. I'm not big on breakfast. I had a health coach that told me that it would probably be a good idea because it's supposed to jump start your metabolism for the day, but I didn't notice any difference.

    I always liked how in the movie, "The In-Laws", Peter Falk is explaining to a cab driver that CIA agents look like him, not James Bond.

    So often I will watch the Pitch Meeting of a movie rather than watch the actual movie. It's a real time saver!

    You should do some pitch meetings for some of the real old classics.
    Like Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, From here to Eternity, or Ben Hur. Or any of the many great movies made before 1970.

    Please, when will the End-Game pitch meeting come out? The amount of plotholes in that movie should make it another long video.

    "some times they bring me up to their ship and do things to me" 😂 that's exactly what I thought the movie was about when it first came out!
