Riz Ahmed Rates Eminem, Stormtroopers, and Paddington Bear

[upbeat drum music]

Stormtroopers are probably overrated.

I'd say I've met a few of them in person.

They're not that smart, they're not that clever.

Quite easy to dupe.

Quite clumsy, actually.

Probably led to the downfall of the empire.

Not to name names, but it's probably your fault.

[drum roll]

Eminem in 2018 is underrated, man.

He's underrated.

He's still one of the greatest of all time.

You can't take that away from him.

I'm glad to see him back out there,

just getting angry with people.

My goal is for Eminem to do a diss track about me.

That's when you know you're important, you made it.

So, Eminem, man, I mean, there's a lot of ammo here.

I'm wearing a stupid hat here, I'm, you know.

Just get me.

Get at me, man.

[drum roll]

Tracksuits are so underrated, man.

That's a real emotional subject for me,

'cause tracksuits are like,

you know, you can sleep in a tracksuit.

You can fly in a tracksuit.

You can exercise in a tracksuit.

You can go out in a tracksuit.

And these days, you got all those high fashion tracksuits,

you go away with a suit.

You wear the smart thing.

There's nothing you can't do in a tracksuit.

So, underrated.

[drum roll]

He's so overrated.

He just, I just feel like, in a fight,

Snoopy would demolish him.

I feel at most, Care Bears would probably demolish him.

I think, probably, a few My Little Ponies

would have him as well in the ring.

We're talking about his capability as a fighter, right?

[drum roll]

You're wearing a floral print dress,

so that's obviously very biased.

That's kind of passive aggressive of you

to even ask me that.

Basically saying, Do you like me?

I don't know you enough to tell you if I like you or not.

Very needy of you to ask me that.

[drum roll]

ET is a movie, yeah, great, you know.

It's rated very highly, cool.

ET as a person, I don't feel that we fully investigate

the significance of ET as a personality.

You know, it's a very, very resonant story

for the times that we're living in, man.

ET is an illegal immigrant, and the government is just

trying to grab him out of this house,

and kidnap him, and separate him from his loved ones.

So, it makes a very political story,

and you gotta shout out Spielberg for telling that,

ahead of its time.

[drum roll]

Supervillains are underrated for a very simple reason,

because, they're not that villainous.

If you really think about it, they're misunderstood.

Nine out of 10 of these supervillains,

they're just trying to do the right thing,

just trying to save humanity.

That's what my character's trying to do in Venom.

He's trying to make sure that, you know,

we've got a planet to live on after we've destroyed Earth

'cause, you know, we fucked up basically.

We get a tough time.

Sympathizers, supervillains.

Apart from Skeletal, he's just fucked up.
