I can't stop laughing at how casually Joseph just calls him Anus and neither of y'all flinch about it.
You can see Nick slowly closing his eyes in disbelief, and that cracks me up even more 🤣🤣
But Nick did clarify his name is Corio in the movie, just to be safe 😂😂😂😂
@@Narusasu98but in this movie there are 2 anus names to differentiate between... which I think was very generous of the author.
"Just so you know, his nickname is Corio in the movie"
"Okay.... so ANUS...."
😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂 I can’t
"Peter Dinklage has this unreasonable hatred towards anus" is a wild sentence
"It's not totally unfounded" 😂
Joseph calling that man Anus over and over took me out 😂
... even after Nick's PSA at 6:45, Joseph repeats Anus at 7:03, and continues with his French Vanilla name fantasy (of Anus) throughout!!!
Nick was dying a little inside every time he said it. Hilarious!
A hole is a hole is a hole 🕳️😏😌🫣😅🤤
😂😂😂
The way Joseph could’ve just called him Snow but chose Anus
And I thank him thoroughly for that💯
I choose anus too 😂
You know Joseph was impressed when he didnt even complain about Nick naming so many titles by the director 😂
"Pete Dinklage has this unreasonable hatred towards Anus." Never change Joseph lol 6:00
🤣🤣
Viola Davis’s makeup being “cremation #4” ☠️
The book has SO many important details that got left out of the movie. It definitely was improved by me having read the book a couple days prior because I was able to fill in so many things that were left out that would’ve made things made way more sense
Yes, totally agree.
Funny you mention that Snow and Sejanus seemed like they’d be love interests cause there’s a joke around about shipping them together from the fans
One has to love Joseph , he’s so over everything and nothing impresses him or moves him ❤.. one mention of Janet and his ears just perks up 😂and he’s listening
The Hunger Games: The ballad of the Coriander Anus
OMG when u said ur tired of this lady singing 😂
I have zero recollection of the final two films. I'm glad to hear that Viola and Jason steal the scenes.
Hands down my favorite review that you guys have done ! ❤❤
Joseph calling the character Anus cracked me up every time 😂😂😂
Loved the review. So entertaining. I could tell from the trailer that Viola was going to be awesome! That fro! 😂❤
I'm glad I'm watching this review because I was not paying attention during the movie 😅 The singing and the that Horrendous Country Accent pulled me so far out the film. I couldn't stop giggling. I swear it was Hunger Games: Rise of Hannah Montana 😅 but I didn't get the best of both worlds 😂
Yep, totally agree
I'm only a few minutes into the movie and I had to come here and see what people said about the singing because I'm on the first song and she's very good but it just seems so silly to me that they're letting her sing this song that clearly is meant to be in rebellion and I swear if people start dancing in sync with each other I'm done lol
Yeah, as someone who was raised by people who say "warsh" instead of "wash," I can honestly say that the accent just didn't feel quite right, it almost felt like an Elizabeth Holmes situation where she was doing weird stuff with her voice and as a country bumpkin from the Midwest myself I could have done without the accent...
@mizzourita3896 My mother grew up in Connecticut and her mother in Westchester County NY, so even though I grew up in the ag belt in Central Cal, I have a faint accent. I say warsh instead of wash if I’m not concentrating and really hate when actors act like regional accents can’t be subtle. Rachel here acted like she was in a SNL skit…
@@Catmom-gl5nt you described it perfectly
To be fair to her, it may have been the direction. A group effort of sorts 😂@@Catmom-gl5nt
Excellent review. I have noticed something about all your review videos. They are all lovely 20minutes which i can play while doing work BUT your videos make time just fly. Amazing! Bravo 👏
Cremation No.4 😂😂
I lost it!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The hunger games is just battle royale set in 1984
*Nick states a directors name*
Joseph: "Do I know of any of their other films?"
And it was funny that Joseph stated (fairly) confidently that he has seen all the previous HG films, and Nick is like... "Have you?! 🤷🏼♂️
There’s so many theories as to what happens to Lucy after the book ends. Nothing has been confirmed, some think she’s coin, some think she’s katniss’s grandma, some think she dead in the woods by a bullet
Just watching for y’all ❤
I have not seen any of these movies 😅
I feel like y’all will give me such a great review it’s like watching it
good to hear they kept it violent like the book - thank you for the spoilers hehe
I am so anxious to hear what you thought of it - the book was great! 🙌🏼😂
Cremation #4 on her face 😂😂😂
I can't stop seeing Mark Zuckerburg in the guy behind you
Haha i can c it. I kinda feel if Zuckerberg and Matthew Lillard had a baby this would b there child lol
For me it was Eminem
I'm getting Pete Davidson 🤣
Come and Gather it sounds like they did Viola dirty with poor makeup for chocolate skin...no one had ANY DyNESSA MYRICKS?, NARS? DAMN FENTY?, LANCOME? DIOR in their makeup kit deep chocolate melonin??? My EGOT (like many a'badass Black entertainers and models) had to bring their stuff from home, SMH. The THING is: the production had "the coin" to hook THEEEE VIOLA they could get her MAKEUP proper.. ,LOL, come on. Please tell me they didn't have her looking "dead to the bed ashy-casket faced" foundation for Black women...Laaaaawd have mercy. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏻♀️
Everyone in the Capitol is supposed to look odd. Effie in the first film was as white as a sheet with the makeup they put to show how detached she was from the district citizens so I assume they did this to Viola’s character as well
Yes. But Effie is theatrical in her makeup look. She doesn't lokk like she has poorly applied makeup, just an off kilter style. Violas makeup looks like they trued to do a poor man's chemical burn effect with elmers glue and then applied powder that was 5 shades to light in top of that. Her hair was fab however and I liked her gloves. @@hey-zel
Joseph keeps calling him anus and I keep giggling 😂😂
I really loved the movie! It was long but necessary to tell young Snows story😊. And I agree that Rachel’s mouth always be doing something weird. But the singing was good.
Honestly, I don’t think the romance was supposed to be believable. They both had their own interest. I think Anus tried to play into it to make himself feel better for being so terrible.
"Anus is worried" yeah that often happens 😂😂 Never change Joseph hahahaha
Yall are so cute with the matching tees
The book upon which this movie was based was commissioned by the studio, so that they could write a screenplay
When he said “Lucy pearl” I fell out 🤣
Cremation number 4 i cant i love you guys so much
Feels like it's been 36 yrs in the waiting! There's no way this movie is good lol
I love that Joseph calls her “Lucy Pearl” sounds better to me 😂❤
How many licks is a classic
6:46 🤣🤣🤣proceeds calling him Anus.... Joseph ur a gem
I prolly won’t see this movie, but I’m about to watch All Nite again. Used to be my fave music video when it came out!!
He also directed water for elephants
this is what I thought - love the books but was very skeptical of this cast. Grazie!
“Unfortunately yes” lmao
Thanks now I’m singing Lucy pearl “ after party”
I don’t think you’re ready, for Fish Jelly!
joseph repeatedly saying anus is taking me out 😂 come on alaska thunderfuck 5000!
I find the director very hit and miss. I loved Constantine, even though it’s almost completely different from the source material, and I enjoyed the first 2/3 of I am legend. I don’t care for the hunger games universe so I’ll pass on this.
Yes, I am just getting this is a cash grab and milking a franchise that was kind of over. Four films and the last couple were not exactly great. Zeigler seems to be kind of blowing her big break after West Side Story.
And I agree with the review. Why are they not making a prequel about the first hunger games? Seems like a no brainer but this is a head scratching choice.
Because they are quick. These hunger games were quick only got a little longer because of the rebel bombing and it causing the tunnels to open. Other than that it would just be 24 ppl in a round auditorium killing each other with nowhere to hide.
@@l.c.7955 I was talking more of why they started them in the first place and the districts reactions to having to do this.

All the Anus, these dusty people and cremation #4 took me all the way iut😂😂😂
Cremation No 4 -I AM 💀💀💀!!
When a studio makes reviewers wait to post "spoilers/reviews" until AFTER the movie premieres in the theater... My level of skepticism surrounding said movie rises ↗️. Just sayin'. Just me? (🤔Asking for my cats)
Isn’t that just standard practice?
@ChelseaAllen420 Based on my experience with Fish Jelly... they are typically invited to early showings (prior to national release) and/or view films at international/national film festivals -> and then post spoiler reviews PRIOR to national releases to the general public. Maybe you don't know how important they are!!! 😉🤷🏾
This too was screened earlier for critics because studio is confident. Spoiler free is the obvious practice for everyone
😂😂😂”anus “ I’m dead . You guys is all I need to watch 😊
any time joseph called corio anus I died of laughter
Lucy Pearl ? Lol
The ballad isn’t about her. It’s how she got her name. Each Covey has is named after a ballad character and a color. She just happens to be named after the Ballad of Lucy Gray lol And Sejanus isn’t the presidents son. lol at Anus it’s Coryo😂
I never followed these movies, but I agree with the overall themes from what I understand. I didn't realize they were so retro-futuristic. G3s with wooden furniture is an odd choice.
CULO-ANUS🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
I love the hunger games. I have watched the 3 tons of times and have read the books even and I have absolutely no desire to see this. I'm still confused as to who they their target audience is.
What do you mean? Think of who was the target for the first 3 books. And no, its not angsty teens.
It’s the nostalgia factor of childhood favorites I mean look at all the live adaptations of Disney movies, people can’t get enough of it
For real though if your buddy has rabies and is going to have to die anyways, AND you’re in the hunger games so only one person can live like just leave him girl!!
Anus’s boss tells him “you’re being promoted” 😂
Now I need to know who Anus’s boss is.
19:23-19:30 😂 please make that a short!!
When I saw the trailer for this, I also thought Tom Blyth was Harris Dickinson (from Triangle of Sadness). They look the same!
I love 💓 ur reviews
I agree Rachel Zegler is the worst
Oh, oh Joseph lit up like a Christmas tree when Janet Jackson name came up❤❤ Nick I was looking at your eyes every time Joseph called that man Anus😅
Nick's reactions were so passively funny 🥴🤣too
Great video! 🎉
One note: Sajanus wasn’t the president’s son. He was a rich kid from the districts.
I only watched this movie so I could watch your review. I love that Joseph just called him “Anus” the whole time. Wasn’t Tom Blyth a dish though? Such a cutie. Rachel Ziegler was so weird. Such a bad accent and her mannerisms were just strange. I was getting a headache watching her.
Ohhhhh his sister becomes Tigres?!?!
Anus and Lucy Pearl..now that is a movie I wanna see 🤣
Perfect chemistry. Im a straight man but being gay somehow makes yall reviews better. Its the dryness.
Plus the reviews are in-depth and they have extensive movie knowledge. I have seen way too many movies but I can’t recall things like they do.
I was so annoyed with the singing too!!! It was wayyyyy too much 🤯🙄
Or earl grey tea 😂😂😂
I wanna be a tribute Doo! 😁😁😁🤣😅
Aww I actually enjoyed this movie but loved this review you all make me smile
“Anus does not seem like he would end up as president”.
why is this even a musical
It was a really good movie 🔥🔥
I loved Zegler as Lucy! Loved all the cast and all the movie! Going to watch it again and again.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I thought the books were fantastic. The movies i thought were meh. I wasnt a fan of the casting choices in the previous 4 films. I thought Jennifer Lawrence was excellent but the supporting charecters didnt work 4 me. Except maybe Donald Sutherland
Idk who the actor is but the guy who played Ivar the boneless in the viking TV show would've been perfect for young snow
Oooooh. That would've been the perfect compliment to the actor who played as the older President Snow.
Hunger Games: Catching Fire was amazing. Every other film was kinda meh
The first hunger games was so uneventful tho lmaoo
I don't know what it is about these films. All the previous movies have been watched with my full attention. Yet I barely remember them.
I wonder if the other kids used to bully him and called him Anus
I think the first 9 were gladiator arena style
Hola mis amigos! I’m in PV right now and I’m loving watching you here 🫶✌️🇲🇽
🤨Ballad? Haven't come across this word, except in "folk ballad" to describe music genre😉Joseph was 'serious'' when he said the dialogue was like quotes being rambled... Since I know 'nothing' of this initial plot, may be take it as a long Music Video 'plot' and, Nick's info on Music Video links to this Film Director will make sense too!😅😀
Loved the movie 🎥 🍿
My nickname was also “Coreo”, my name is Cory and I half white and black, isn’t MN racist lol?
Culo Anus omfg 😂
Based on Nicks pull quote did he like the movie lol. I think he does but doesnt at the same time lol
Joseph pull quot3 was long, silly and dark lol
Please don't insult Brooke Adams!
13 days 🥲
I think you have been a littel too hard on Lucy Grey. I get it the singing can be annoying but she is not suppose to be like Katniass, capable of fighting but uncapable of charming an adudience. Lucy Grey is instead the exat opposite. When she saves Jessup she does it because she is scared and needs someone to be with in that hell that is the arena, she also wasn't aware he had rabbies. Even if Lucy Grey isn't a fighter like Katniss, and isn't particulary smart, she playes with the cards she has very well. She also directly kills a guy by making him breath poison, if that isn't geting your hands dirty I don't know what is. Lucy Grey is just a survivor she is not a hearoine. Also Lucy Grey is named after a ballad where the main character (also named Lucy Grey) dissapears without a trace. She is not coming back anytime soon.
Right ✅️ she is the anti-katniss
Lost the will to live in the early part of the storyline, sounds like a lame horse
ANUS 😂😂😂😂you are so wrong it’s the most right
Not mention her big head
Got to love Joseph NERVES OF STEAL to be unflinched or least bothered about the die hard Hunger Games fan base and just reduce the main character's name or honor him with the nickname "Anus" and normalize it like NO BIG DEAL!!! 🤣🤣🤣 by the way I think Coriolanus is a Shakespeare play or at least a central character in 1 of his plays so...😂😁😝🤭
The first two Hunger Games are really good
