1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: That is the sound of a coffee kracking as we

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: start this episode. Hello and welcome back to Movie Mike's

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: Movie Podcast. I am your host, Movie Mike, joined by

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: my wife and caffeine drinking co host Kelsey. How are you?

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: I've been better.

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: It's been a day, it's been a week, it's been

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: a year.

8
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 2: It's been a day though in particular.

9
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: But we're here to talk about good things, yes, and

10
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: bad things. I say, We're sure to talk about things.

11
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: It is the best and worst of September. In the

12
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: movie review, I'll be talking about Good Boy, the horror

13
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: movie from the perspective of the dog sounds terrible. But

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: in the trailer park, I'm gonna switch it up and

15
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: instead of talking about a movie trailer, I want to

16
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: talk about a movie poster because they announced the Simpsons

17
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: movie and I'm breaking down all the excitement I have

18
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: going into the Simpsons movie two, which I thought was

19
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: fake when it first was announced.

20
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: I will excuse myself from this recording when you decide

21
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: to record that pors.

22
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: But thank you for being here, thank you for being subscribed.

23
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: Shout out to the Monday Morning Movie crew, and now

24
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: let's talk movies.

25
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: Podcast Network and this is Movie Mike Movie Podcast.

26
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: Let's hop right into it. Best thing you watched in September,

27
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: which was still a pretty busy month. I think August

28
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be the biggest month I've ever had going

29
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: to see new movies in theaters.

30
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you saw so many movies in our I

31
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: went hard in August.

32
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: September was like a bunch of random things.

33
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. October feels pretty packed between like big

34
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 2: theatrical releases and then all the ones that we've seen

35
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: the trailers for at the Bell Court.

36
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're getting into like early oscarish season.

37
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: Like we actually don't have time to do all the

38
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: things like we were trying to plot out, like when

39
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: to see movies. It's most like good movies that have

40
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: come out on Apple between that and football, and he

41
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: shows trying to leave the house every once in a while.

42
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: And then I got this wild thing of like wanting

43
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: to go do things this month. You sent out a

44
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: pocket for me, but we should go to this event.

45
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: You send me something the other day and you were like,

46
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: do you want to go? And I responded, I can't

47
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: tell if you're joking or not, because why would you

48
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: suggest leaving the house on a weeknight.

49
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: It is a Wednesday night opening of a bar. Can

50
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: I say who it is? I don't know if it's

51
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: like an announced thing. But by the time this airs,

52
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have happened yet. So if you see it

53
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: on social media that we would to a bar during

54
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: the week, you'd be like, this is so weird, but

55
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: it'll also make sense.

56
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: And then we have like I have the Jonas Brothers

57
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: this month, got a couple of concerts. We just have

58
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: so much to do. And but also by the time

59
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: this comes out, I will have chopped my hair. I'm

60
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: getting whole new person, whole new person.

61
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: But September to me was kind of like whenever I

62
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: try to clean out food from the fridge and I

63
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: put together a meal of a bunch of random things

64
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: that don't really go together, but some of them are

65
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: about to expire, and I'm just trying to make a meal.

66
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then you feel like crap, and I have

67
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: to listen to you lay on the floor and go

68
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: and go. I shouldn't have mixed beans, fake vegan chicken,

69
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: rice and some carrots, and I'm like, in what universe

70
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: did that go together?

71
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: It was a bad choice.

72
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: I thought you were about to say, like cleaning out

73
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: things that are fired, which I did do this morning

74
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: while you're not home now.

75
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: September just felt like a bunch of random movies that

76
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: didn't really go together. It was it's a dumb month.

77
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: So it's a lot of just like, okay, here, let's

78
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: put this out because it doesn't really make sense anywhere else.

79
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: But we had some really good ones, some that I

80
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: felt when under the Radar that are not going to

81
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: get the attention they deserve. So I want to go

82
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: through every single movie, But for you, what was the

83
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: best thing you saw?

84
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: And under the Radar one Twinless that's yeah.

85
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: I think that is the biggest underrated movie of the year.

86
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: Where I pulled the log line because it is almost

87
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: a movie that if you don't know anything going into it,

88
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: it's better so that I'll just tell you what they

89
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: say about it. Two men who each lost their respective

90
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: twin brothers develop a growing friendship after meeting in a

91
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: support group. That's really all you need to know, yep,

92
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: because it has like part almost psychological thriller, drama, comedy,

93
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. The way the movie is

94
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: shot is very cinematic. There are some just beautiful look

95
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: shots throughout this movie. You're like, man, it just feels

96
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: different from beginning to end, and it has a lot

97
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: of interesting character development. It's all I'll say, yes.

98
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: And it has Lauren Graham as the mom, which.

99
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: Is and Dylan O'Brien who gets confused with the guy

100
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: from Perks of a Wald Logan Luhrman, which I never

101
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: really thought about them looking that much alike, but whenever

102
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: he was doing press for this movie, he was like, yeah,

103
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: we get told that all the time, and I always

104
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: have to correct them.

105
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: Honestly, just like attractive white guy with brown hair. Yeah,

106
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: that's really the only similarity. Yeah, that was my favorite.

107
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: I thought it was unexpectedly funny. We saw that one

108
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: at the Bellcourt one place to see it. A good

109
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 2: indie film.

110
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: I think this is a good example of how we

111
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: say they're not great original movies anymore. This is one

112
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: of the best I've seen this year of just not

113
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: knowing a whole lot about it felt super original, and

114
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: it's one that's just not going to get a lot

115
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: of attention, doesn't have a big promotional push. It's also

116
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: hard to sell this movie without telling you everything about it.

117
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: So I think that is another big part of why

118
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: people don't go see original movies, is because it's become

119
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: harder and harder to sell them.

120
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: I also think for a lot of people, like movies

121
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: are expensive. Much to us, we have invested in like

122
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,679
Speaker 2: subscriptions and memberships, so it makes it worth the cost,

123
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: and it's like kind of the only thing we leave

124
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: the house to do. But yeah, going to the movies

125
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: is expensive. Tickets, snacks, sometimes you gotta pay for parking.

126
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know what the solution is because I

127
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: know more people I think now are comfortable watching them

128
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: at home than ever before, but the best things are

129
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: still going to theaters first. We just don't get great

130
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: movies directly at home first run. It just doesn't happen.

131
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: And that's not really a sustainable way to keep the

132
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: movie industry alive if everybody's got to wait until it

133
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: comes to be able to be watching at home. Like

134
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: Superman came out recently at home, twenty eight years later

135
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: came out recently at home. But if those movies don't

136
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: have any success when they come out in theaters, it's

137
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: not going to make it to you at home.

138
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: I will also just use this as a reminder, like

139
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: if you have small like Indie theater or anything in

140
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: your area, like to support them because they're also like

141
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: nonprofit and they depend on lot on donations and people going.

142
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: And I will also say on that front is I

143
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: know we do talk about how we do take our

144
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: snacks into the theater, mostly because I'm vegan. I can't

145
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: find anything the bell Court. That's what I was gonna say,

146
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: not at the bell Court. When we do go to

147
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: smaller theaters, which that's the only one we have around here,

148
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: we make it a point to buy concessions there because

149
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: of that reason.

150
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: Also, their popcorn is delicious.

151
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: It's great. If you ever come to Nashville and you

152
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: want to go see a movie and experience it in

153
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: the best way, go to the Bellcourt. My favorite and

154
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: best movie I saw in September. I think it has

155
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: to go to One Battle after Another, Absolutely, which we

156
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: also saw at the Bellcourt.

157
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: You also get like a sellout crowd there. That feels

158
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: the most nostalgic to me because back before the days

159
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: of preserving your tickets we were growing up, you bought tickets,

160
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: you had to get there early, and if you were late,

161
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: you got crappy scenes and that's the same model there,

162
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: and I'm like, it gives me the thrill of like

163
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: having to get there early, Like I get there while

164
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: they're still cleaning and the door's open and I'm beelining

165
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: for my seats.

166
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about us. We go to a lot

167
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: of movies, as you can tell, and we usually go

168
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: to Regal, which we love. We have Regal down to

169
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: a science that we know there's at least twenty minutes

170
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: of trailers beforehand at least, and there's at least that

171
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: eight to ten minute window of commercials before that, so

172
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: comfortably we could get there twenty five minutes after the

173
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: time it is advertised. We do often and roll right

174
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: into that last trailer and watch the movie. That is

175
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: what we like to do because we go to so

176
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: many movies. We don't want to see the same trailers

177
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: over and over again that we've already seen for every

178
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: movie we go see that I've seen breaking down here

179
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: on this podcast. We have that down to a science.

180
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: We sacrifice that so much as we go to Bellcourt

181
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: because we want to get one a parking spot and

182
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: then two a good place to sit our usual seat

183
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: in the Bell Court that we don't care about the trailers.

184
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: And also when you go to a smaller independent theater

185
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: they show different trailers.

186
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, the trailers are We've seen a lot of good

187
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: ones that I keep adding to our list of like

188
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: I want to see that, I want to see that.

189
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: And that's how I find out about these movies because

190
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: they're not like promoted, They're not like a wider scale.

191
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: And I would never I would never know about some

192
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: of these movies, whether they're like smaller documentaries or lower

193
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: budget movies or like Sun Dance Tiff movies. That is

194
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: where we learn about them, and that I always love

195
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: when we go watch a movie like Twin Lists and

196
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: then we see the trailers beforehand and then we just

197
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: kind of look at each other and like not.

198
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: Like, oh, we got to come back for that, we do,

199
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 2: We just like yeah.

200
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: And that's such an old school thing of going to

201
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: the theater and being finding yeah about movies, because now

202
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: with everything online or just seeing new stories or you

203
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: hear when a movie gets announced and when the cast

204
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: gets it, we just get inundated with all of the

205
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: information that that feels like the most old school experience

206
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: to be in a theater and persuade to come back

207
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: because of the trailer. But I also love seeing things

208
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: in actual film because it ads like that level of

209
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: warm to it. Although for one battle after another it

210
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: was shot in VistaVision, which is like a really old

211
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: big camera, and there were only four theaters in the

212
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: entire world that were showing it that way, and unfortunately

213
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: Nashville wasn't. But still it was like as close as

214
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: I could get to how it was intended to be seen.

215
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: But sometimes we get like, they're only showing this here. Yeah,

216
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 2: we've had that before.

217
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: Because luckily in Nashville we do have one of the

218
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: only theaters that can show seventy milimeter imax that Christopher

219
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: Nolan himself paid for the theater to get it fixed

220
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: because it's such an expensive piece of equipment, really hard

221
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: to operate and really expensive to upkeep. That whenever Oppenheimer

222
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: came out, he said, I know you guys have one.

223
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: It's not working. I'm going to pay to get it

224
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: fixed so you can show Oppenheimer in seventy milimeters imax,

225
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: which is.

226
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: Like, is the Odyssey being filmed the same way? Yes,

227
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: so we'll see it.

228
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: There, yeah, which is like the only just a film

229
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: reel alone for that is like massive, takes up an

230
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: entire room, and I feel like that really added to

231
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: our experience when we went to go see Oppenheimer. But

232
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: I love one battle after another. I thought the action

233
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: was great. I thought the comedy was great throughout. And

234
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: for such a big, expensive movie to be about something

235
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: that I didn't think any studio would want to put

236
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: out let a know let alone in today'sly climate, I

237
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: thought that was a big risk and also is inspiring

238
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: to me to know that an original film like this

239
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: can still come out and be successful and hopefully make

240
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: some of the money back.

241
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: Leo Oscar No.

242
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: I would say they tend to snub Leo a little bit,

243
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: especially when he's not doing a full on drama. It

244
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: took him so much to win that first Oscar that

245
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: I almost think that The Revenant wasn't the movie he

246
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: deserved to win for it was just.

247
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 2: He finally they were like, oh, we've really It.

248
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Was more so like a political thing, like I think

249
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: we finally have to give it to him here because

250
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: I don't think The Revenant is his best performance of

251
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: his career, but I think the timing worked out the

252
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: best for him to finally get his Oscar. But I

253
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: think when it comes to what they want in Best Actor,

254
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: it rarely goes to a comedic role. So I don't

255
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: think he's gonna win. I think he will kind of

256
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: have to fight to get nominated.

257
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: You know who deserves to win, Sean Pinn's neck vein.

258
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: Sean Finn was awesome in this. I think him and

259
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: Benicio will get Supporting Actor nominations more easily than Leo

260
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: will Best Actor.

261
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: Venisio was Altur was so funny in it, so funny.

262
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: I still think about his little dance that he does

263
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: when he gets pulled over. He was incredible. Them together,

264
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: I could have just watched an entire movie of just that.

265
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: I want, like the behind the scenes of them having

266
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: to film some of that, like did they ever break character?

267
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 2: And like because they're both like such accomplished actors, but

268
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: some of those scenes were just so like, yeah, not

269
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: out there but funny.

270
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: That is a movie that if we had time in

271
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: this next busy month, I would want to go back

272
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: and watch again in theaters.

273
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 2: We don't have two hours and forty minutes to spare.

274
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: But there's no time so far this year We've only

275
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: rewatched one movie in theaters, Leila and Stitch, and other

276
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: than that it was impossible to get back to do

277
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: a double tap.

278
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: Well, that's sure. The only thing we watched twice was Twisters.

279
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, usually one movie gets the Hoder event, either Stitch

280
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: or Glen Powell rightfully, So you're wors for the month

281
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: of September.

282
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: Okay. I know this isn't necessarily an original movie because

283
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: it was like a remake, but it's highest to lowest

284
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: on Apple.

285
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a remake of a really old I believe,

286
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: Japanese film, Chrisa. So I almost feel like when you

287
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: remake such an old movie, it doesn't feel the same

288
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: as when you're remaking something from twenty years ago. People

289
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: don't get as up in arms because a lot of

290
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: people probably haven't seen the original. When it feels new,

291
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: it's almost like if an artist covers a song that

292
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: nobody really heard and makes it their own. It's like, oh,

293
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: I just thought that was your song.

294
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: It didn't keep my attention, And I will say it

295
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 2: is harder to keep my attention at home because my

296
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: phone distracts me, but like things that are really good

297
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: can keep my attention. That was not one of them.

298
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: That is another thing that people are battling when making movies,

299
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: when making TV shows, is there is that distraction of

300
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: you are fighting people looking at their second screen, which

301
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: is a major reason why I still love going to

302
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: theaters because I totally shut it out. Unless I'm making

303
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: a note about the movie, which I usually only do

304
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: really quickly, I am not looking at my phone. And

305
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: that is the only place, not only when it comes

306
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: to watching things, but I think in my entire existence

307
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: when I'm not consumed with my phone.

308
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: Mine is the movie's meetings at work in person and

309
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: working out.

310
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: That's a good point, right they go to classes, yeah.

311
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 2: And so I don't take my phone. Sometimes people do

312
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 2: bring their phones into the studio, which I understand, like

313
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: there could be something they need to keep it on,

314
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: but it is distracting. Like in a workout studio and

315
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: you see like someone pick up their phone, I'm like,

316
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: what are we doing? No no phones.

317
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: If it's something like highest to lowis, I was pretty

318
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: zoned in. I treated that as if we were going

319
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: to see it in theaters.

320
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: I zoned out because it was boring.

321
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: It got to a point where the plot really wasn't

322
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: going anywhere. The music was so distracting the really weird score.

323
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: It was like orchestral music whole time, almost like slightly

324
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: better elevator music over a whole movie.

325
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: Which he got like an orchestra to score the whole thing.

326
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: But I almost thought, like.

327
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 2: So, no shade to the orchestra. You were all very talented.

328
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: It was.

329
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: It sounded good, but it didn't fit the movie. It

330
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: did not. It was almost like I felt he hired

331
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: this orchestra that was probably so expensive that he thought,

332
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: I need to use this about the entire movie. Like

333
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: I got to use this the entire time. It almost

334
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: became like a musical thriller because it was so closely

335
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: connected to the plot of music.

336
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's like almost like one of the scary

337
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: movie in the music kind of like.

338
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: Pains him running a record label. So that one scene

339
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: where there's the band playing and it was just so loud,

340
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, I've had a little bit

341
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: too much of this. I also wasn't the biggest fan

342
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: of Denzel's performance in that, which I know he likes

343
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: to add lib. He's at that point in his career

344
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: where he can kind of do whatever he wants. And

345
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: even though you know he could really do whatever he wants,

346
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: even with a legary director like Spike Lee, what are

347
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: you going to tell Denzel like, hey man, you need

348
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: to do that again. You can do it better. I

349
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: don't think so.

350
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: Unrelated to the movie, but another thing Spike Lee did

351
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: was the Hurricane Katrina docuseries on Netflix, which that was phenomenal.

352
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: That was fantastic. He executive produced the whole thing and

353
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: I think directed the last episode, which was interesting to

354
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: see how Spike Lee does a documentary versus when he

355
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: does a movie. It still has like that creative spark

356
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: to it, where even just like the titles, the way

357
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: he would showcase the people he was interviewing, his use

358
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: of photos, it's very stylistic. You can tell like, oh man,

359
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: this is a really great director putting this together.

360
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: If you haven't watched that yet, highly recommend.

361
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: That was a very powerful documentary. I would rather watch

362
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: that over Heist to Lois, even though it's like sad,

363
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: which is weird.

364
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: Because it's such good storytelling.

365
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: It was just the fact that it was something that

366
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: I remember from twenty years but don't remember all the

367
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: small details about it's weird to say it was entertaining

368
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: because of all all the awful things that happened, But

369
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: that is the power of filmmaking.

370
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: I would say captivating, not as much as entertaining.

371
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: Okay, it's captivating. Like it's hard to recommend it though,

372
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: like all you gotta watch this, it's so good.

373
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: It's the storytelling of it. It tells it better than

374
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 2: people have and he really put the whole puzzle together

375
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: of all of the events surrounding it. That's what I

376
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: think he did really well.

377
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: And I've learned from doing this podcast that sometimes it's

378
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: hard to interview directors of documentaries and real people involved

379
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: in them because when I interview people involved in movies,

380
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: it's all fake stuff. You can ask them anything about

381
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: their characters, and it's all fake stuff that they played.

382
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: When you ask people about a documentary that's their life,

383
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: that's asking them real things that have affected them, real

384
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: things about trauma. That you have to treat it differently,

385
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: where I'm so used to being able to like just

386
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: go in on plot points.

387
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: You know from a documentary Kendro Lacari from What the

388
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: High School Catfish?

389
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: Oh and gosh, could you imagine that I.

390
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: Mean she was basically interviewed in that documentary. Yeah, if

391
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 2: you haven't watched that, it's called Unknown Number of the

392
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: High School Catfish Story. I feel like we talked about it.

393
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: I feel like last month. Yeah, I feel like everybody's

394
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: probably seen that at this point, and even I knew

395
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: going into it.

396
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 2: What happened wild the amount of people that I made

397
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: watch it, and then I've waited till they got to

398
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 2: a certain part, and then just the like flood of

399
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: text messages that would come in. The reactions are good, Okay, anyways,

400
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 2: anything else to say about hihest tell us?

401
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: Sorry, that's all that one. Don't recommend it. Apple Plus

402
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: just doesn't really strike it well with the movies.

403
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: It's like, you know what was better than that The

404
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: Wrong Paris on Netflix. It wasn't even like worst movie contender.

405
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: It was for me, I'm in between two for my

406
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: worst movie, I have the Wrong Paris, which was the

407
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: Miranda Costro movie on Netflix.

408
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: But you enjoyed that one.

409
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: But it's if I look at all the things that

410
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: I've gone through, it's still the worst. Doesn't have it's

411
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: a bad movie. It just happens to be the worst.

412
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: In the moment that I guess I've done the same before.

413
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: And my second is Him two different situations because I

414
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: was anticipating. I love horror movies. It's a Jordan Peele

415
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: produce movie. I thought it was going to be good.

416
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: In my exit, I thought my expectations were not met.

417
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: It ended up being enjoyable enough, but it struck me

418
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: in a way that I was like, oh, man, I'm

419
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: kind of let down. The Wrong Paris was different because

420
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: I didn't really expect it to be good and it

421
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 1: wasn't bad, and it wasn't bad. So it's almost like

422
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: that two. Him went all the way down in my

423
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: book and the Wrong Paris rose up in my book,

424
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: but they kind of met at that same level because

425
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: I feel like the Wrong Paris is at the very

426
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: top of how good that type of movie can be,

427
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: and Him is just kind of missing the mark on

428
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: what I was anticipating, because I feel like a Netflix

429
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: movie like The Wrong Paris, it's not going to really

430
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: move the needle for me in a way that like, man,

431
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: that was the best thing I've ever seen given the

432
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: plot point, it's pretty fluffy.

433
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: Love how you're explaining this with your hands.

434
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 1: Oh, I talk on my hands all the time on

435
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: this thing.

436
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 2: I know, it's just funny when I watch it or

437
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: watch you and then I'm like, this is audio format.

438
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's done YouTube, but yeah, the up and down

439
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: is going on. That's always going on in my brain.

440
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: But I like Miranda Cosgrove, I think because I feel

441
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: like she is somebody I've watched since she was my age,

442
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: when she was in the School of Rock and that

443
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: was like her first big role, and then from there

444
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: it's like I'm just kind of growing up with this

445
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: actor throughout all their projects, from School of Rock to

446
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: The Wrong Paris, all the stuff in between. Like I Carly,

447
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: She's even done Drake and Josh. She was a movie

448
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: called North Hollywood that I really like. So I like

449
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: her more now in this phase of her career. I

450
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: would love to see an I Carly reunion movie.

451
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: Didn't they reboot the show?

452
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: They did, but I feel like you need to bring

453
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: back Jeanette McCurdy. Oh yeah, I have an idea for

454
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: a movie which will never get made, but it's an

455
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: I Carly reboot where it's a horror movie where it's

456
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: a fan. Maybe this is inspired in my real life.

457
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: It's so obsessed with Miranda Cosgrove that they decide to

458
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: break into her house to try to like kidnap her

459
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: or something to bring back I Carly. And then they

460
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: find out that Miranda Cosgrove is actually like a psycho

461
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: killer and they hold that rabbit fan in her basement hostage,

462
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: so the kind of role reversal, and then she gets

463
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: back Freddy and Sam to help her out one last time.

464
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 2: Okay, next topic, that's what idea for the movie.

465
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: Hi, Carle, I get kidnapped, so they got to get

466
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: Sam bag or Janelle mccurty, who probably probably wants nothing

467
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: to do with it. She's putting out books now, she's

468
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: all good. But if I had to go with one,

469
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: I would probably go him, just because I don't like

470
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: being let down. And the wrong parents just surprised me

471
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Yea, if that wasn't a let down, Yeah,

472
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: it was good. It was surprising, So I'll go worst

473
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: of the month him. Run through all the movies we saw,

474
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: started out with highest to lowess. Then we went to

475
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: go see Hamilton in theaters, which you've seen in person.

476
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: What year did you see it?

477
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four?

478
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: And I think I first saw it on Disney Plus,

479
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: so it's essentially that version that came out in twenty twenty,

480
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: but we got to go see it in theaters.

481
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 2: Yes, it was great. It was so much fun to

482
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 2: see on the big screen. And I just love Hamilton

483
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: so much, which I actually was going to tell you

484
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: it's a great reminder that Whitney, one of the Mormon wives,

485
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: is apparently doing a dance to the room where it

486
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 2: happens from Hamilton for Disney Night, because now that Hamilton's

487
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: like on Disney Plus, that's part of that which I

488
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: listened to the Hamilton Hamilton's soundtrack at work sometimes just

489
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: like top to bottom, the full thing. It's delightful.

490
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: I forgot how good some of the songs were, how

491
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: memorable they are that you sing him around the house

492
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: a lot, and I kind of forgot what they're from

493
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: and sell me out, and then I was like, oh,

494
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: that's what I just thought. The song was so good

495
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: they would.

496
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 2: Wait for it, in particular yeah, by Leslie Otam Junior,

497
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: which if I could see him on Broadway back in

498
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: his role as Erin Burr, should have sold a kidney

499
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 2: because that's how much those tickets cost.

500
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: And after Hamilton I went to go see Spinal Tap two,

501
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: which I wasn't really thinking it was gonna be good.

502
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: It just kind of felt like a really long SNL sketch,

503
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: which I loved the original movie, but this one was

504
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: just them older and sitting down all the time and

505
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: being like, we don't have what it takes anymore. So

506
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: there were some interesting cameos from other musicians, but overall

507
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: it was just kind of like a this was made

508
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: to be made, and now it's out so people could

509
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: stop asking if you're gonna make another Spinal Tab movie.

510
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: Gave that one a three out of five. We talked

511
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: about twin lists. The Long Walk was really close to

512
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: making my favorite of the month. I just kind of

513
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: didn't really have that much of an impact as far

514
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: as after I watched it, and I think about it

515
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: a whole lot. We went to go see A Big, Bold,

516
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: Beautiful Journey, which is so hard for me to say.

517
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 2: I will be fine if I never you have to say.

518
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: That title Margo, Robbie and Colin Farrell, and it's about

519
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: them meeting at a wedding randomly and going on a

520
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: big journey and with some moves they go through doors

521
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: and it takes them to different places in their past.

522
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: This movie could have been done better, Oh.

523
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: You thought so? I enjoyed it. I thought it represented

524
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: what I love about going to sleep. It is dreaming

525
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: and having really vivid dreams taking you back to very

526
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: specific parts in your life that that is the only

527
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: place where you can experience it. I think we all

528
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: have the dream of waking up in like high school

529
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh man, I'm back in school. Just

530
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: feels so weird. They experience that in this movie. So

531
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: there was all these elements of what I love about

532
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: my second life and my dreams that I was like,

533
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: they made a movie about it. But I could see.

534
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 2: How you do live another life in your Yeah, I do.

535
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: But I could see at the very beginning of this

536
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: movie it was kind of weird the way their characters interacted.

537
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: It's a very hyper realistic form of reality where their

538
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: characters are so over the top.

539
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: Sounds so meta.

540
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: It It is a weird way for them to communicate

541
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: in a weird way for all the action to take place,

542
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: because it doesn't really feel like real life but also

543
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: doesn't fully feel like fantasy.

544
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: I was more excited for it then I was watching it.

545
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: I thought it looked really good too, like all the

546
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: colors and the costume changes and all the set designed

547
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: and where they put the doors in the middle of nowhere.

548
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: So I think the death of mid movies is what

549
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: this is about. Like if it's something isn't like so

550
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: good that it moves you in a way that you're like,

551
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: I got to tell everybody about this. We can't really

552
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: experience the mediums the way we used to be able to.

553
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: I found the TikTok comments about it funnier the movie itself.

554
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a movie that people could

555
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: go in and just hate and want to walk out

556
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: of you you did on TikTok. I could see that

557
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: if you don't allow yourself to be like, Okay, I

558
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: want to take the journey with these people, you could

559
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: find each of their characters really insufferable and the overall

560
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: premise dum. But for some people like me, it's just

561
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: kind of what I needed to that moment. And then

562
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 1: we also went to go see Spider Man two point one, Yes,

563
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: which was Spider Man two but with added footage a

564
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: lot of deleted scenes that got worked back into the movie.

565
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: It was interesting for me to remember what was in

566
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: the actual Spider Man two and what they added back in,

567
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: because there were some moments I remember just from watching it,

568
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: like on TikTok, like here's a deleted scene, like the

569
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: scene of JK. Simmons putting on the Spidy suit and

570
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: wearing it after Peter Parker decided he didn't want to

571
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: be Spider Man anymore and got rid of his suit.

572
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: Ja Jonah Jamison got a hold of it, and then

573
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: there's a scene where he in his office wearing it,

574
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: and I was like, that's interesting that that didn't make

575
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: the movie. But then when you see them put all

576
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: these outtakes in the movie, you realize it changes the

577
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: tone of it. And I found myself thinking like, oh,

578
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: it kind of makes sense why they take out certain

579
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: things when it just kind of changes the momentum of

580
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: a movie. It changed the overall feeling, which seeing some

581
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: of these scenes in Spider Man two point one made

582
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: it feel a little bit more comical, which I feel

583
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: like when I just watched Spider Man two, all I

584
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: think about is all the action. Having those little moments

585
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: of levity added in felt like an entirely different movie

586
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: in a way.

587
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: Agree it made me want to watch Spider Man three

588
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: whenever we have the time.

589
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do want to watch that. Now, what about

590
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: your TV show for the.

591
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 2: Month, Dancing with the Stars, which I talked about last week?

592
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: We stillly just started a bunch. I've only finished one show.

593
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've were watching a bunch of things platonic on

594
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: Apple but still marvelous Miss Maisel. I have one season

595
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: left of that and I love it and I'm savoring it.

596
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 2: Then my ultimate comfort show was.

597
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: Er Oh, yeah, you do your annual rewatch?

598
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 2: Not even annual. I've I'm on season three. I started

599
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: at like some point last year.

600
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: When do you start Gilmour girls.

601
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: I started on the first day of fall. I watched

602
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: two episodes. I turned it no wal I was working.

603
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: The only show I have finished so far is Wednesday

604
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: season two. I am a bigger fan of Wednesday season one.

605
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: This one had some really good episodes. I would say

606
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: had Lady Gaga. It did have Lady Gaga two episodes

607
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: that I thought those were two of the best of

608
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: the entire series. But overall, I don't fully loved this story.

609
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: It was good, but I feel like this was the

610
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: best representation of the character of Wednesday. I think Jenna

611
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: Ortega fully locked in on this season, and at the

612
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: very end they're like, she's coming back for season three.

613
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, but that's going to take another three years.

614
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: That's what's so hard about these Netflix shows is a

615
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: take forever and then everybody gets older in them. Because

616
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: their brother Pugsley, from season one to season two, season one,

617
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: he was like a little kid.

618
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: It's the same thing with Jenny and Georgia.

619
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: And now they're full grown adults.

620
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 2: That was the same thing. You know what's coming out

621
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: on Netflix this month that you're gonna be so excited about.

622
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: What selling Sunset season nine?

623
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: Oh my, how did that show get nine seasons?

624
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 2: Because people like me are still watching it.

625
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: Season one and two was about what I got through.

626
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: Whenever they stopped showing the houses, I'm like, this makes

627
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: no sense anymore.

628
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: That was a reality drama.

629
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: That was the only reason I enjoyed that show because

630
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: we love watching house hunters, and I was like, this

631
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 1: is like extreme house Hunters with famous people in houses

632
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: that we could never afford.

633
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: I've fallen off on a lot of my reality shows,

634
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: like I stopped watching Real Housewives of Orange County of

635
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 2: the season I'm behind on Real Housewives of Salt Lake

636
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 2: City got to a point where I was just kind

637
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: of like, I can't watch people yell at each other

638
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 2: right now. It feels too stressful.

639
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: What about your book of the month?

640
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: Okay, so I read twelve books in September. Goodness, I know, apparently,

641
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: and that's why I have no time to watch TV.

642
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: Best one will be I don't think I've read twelve

643
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: books in my life life.

644
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: It kind of along the same lines of the Hurricane

645
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 2: Katrina thing, being sad but captivating. It is called The

646
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: Only Plane in the Sky and it's an oral history

647
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 2: of nine to eleven. I listened to it on audiobook.

648
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: It's on Spotify Premium, but it is over fifteen hours

649
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: and you get fifteen hours a month, so you got

650
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: to like kind of listen to like one point three.

651
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 2: It was incredible. So it was a full cast, which

652
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 2: I really appreciated because it wasn't the actual like people

653
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: of that day, so the author was not exploiting anyone's trauma.

654
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 2: I appreciated that You're not like having someone come tell

655
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 2: a story about the worst day of their life. It

656
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 2: was that people had given interviews and or maybe written

657
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 2: it down and then they transcribed it and had a

658
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: cast member like it was a cast for even like

659
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, Kitty Kirk. They had an actor

660
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: read that. But it was stories of that day, putting

661
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: together the whole day, from start of the day to

662
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: the end of the day. And it's called the Only

663
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: Plane in the Sky because I'm sure a lot of

664
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 2: people know this. At one point, Air Force one was

665
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: the only plane in the sky. So it just has

666
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it has the dispatch recordings of people on

667
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 2: the planes. It had interviews with people whose loved ones

668
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: were on the plane, loved ones who worked, has interviews

669
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: with firefighters, interviews with government people. It just was so

670
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: well done. And you even listened to some of it

671
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 2: in the car with me one day.

672
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like the that it went back and forth

673
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: between a lot of different voices.

674
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: It did yeah, and they would say like their name

675
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: and yeah. It was just it was phenomenal. I can't

676
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: recommend it enough. I do believe even though it's an

677
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: oral history, like there is still a print version to read,

678
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 2: but I really do recommend the audiobook version. I think

679
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: it does such a good job.

680
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: I feel like I should get into audio books. But

681
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: I still need to read Project Hill Mary. I saw

682
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: it on the shelf the other day. I'm like, I

683
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: need to start that book.

684
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 2: People in my book club said the audiobook was good.

685
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: M nah, I feel like I have to read that

686
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: one though. Okay, I will start that. I gotta start that.

687
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: A movie comes out in March. I gotta start that.

688
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: You have plenty of time, all right, anything else? I

689
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: can't believe it's already October.

690
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Spooky season next week. I do have Freddy Krueger

691
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: on the podcast again. Oh, Robert England is returning to

692
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: the podcast, as well as a couple of the directors

693
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: of some of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.

694
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: Is he the only returning guest besides me?

695
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: He is the only returning guest. Yeah, oh, but that's

696
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: next week, just in time for spooky season. Because October

697
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: is a straight up horror movie month. No, thank you,

698
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: I don't do scary all right. We'll come back with

699
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: the spoiler free review of good Boy. Let's get into

700
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: it now. A spoiler free movie review of good Boy.

701
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: It is a horror movie from the perspective of a dog.

702
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: One of the most original ideas of the year so

703
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: much so that Good Boy built up a lot of

704
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: hype just because of that premise. And I think when

705
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 1: you have a movie like this where it's so easy

706
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: to pitch it to somebody, because I was telling everybody

707
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: who asked me going into this week and what are

708
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: you going to go watch this week, which is a

709
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,479
Speaker 1: question I get often because I do this podcast and

710
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: people just want to know what new is coming out.

711
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: And I love it when I can pitch somebody a

712
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: movie that you know from one sentence when it's going

713
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: to be about out, and not only do you know

714
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: from that one sentence, but you're interested even if you

715
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: don't like horror movies. It has you curious. And I

716
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: watch a lot of horror movies, and something that always

717
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: happens at the beginning whenever somebody moves into a new house,

718
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: Because I would say my favorite subgenre inside the horror

719
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: genre are the haunted house stories. I just love them.

720
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,479
Speaker 1: I crave them. And in these horror movies, something that

721
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: always happens is whenever the family moves in, or whenever

722
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: the person moves in, the dog is always the first

723
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: one to know. They'll either start barking at something and

724
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: the owner's like, hey, it'stop barking. There's nothing there. Oh,

725
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: but the dog knows. The dog always knows. Dogs are smart.

726
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: They can sense illness inside of people, they can sniff

727
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: for drugs, they can sniff for bombs, they can do

728
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: so many things. And this movie takes that idea of

729
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: the dog being the first one to know and just

730
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: giving you the dog's perspective as he investigates these things.

731
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: And this movie is pretty low budget. It was shot

732
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 1: by the director who is the owner of the dog,

733
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: who in real life is also named Indie, and the

734
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: crew was pretty minimal. The director and his wife was

735
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: a producer. So actually inside this film you see the

736
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: director acting with his own dog. So those genuine reactions

737
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: that they have of Indie running up to him being

738
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: so excited, them getting along and bonding together, that is

739
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: because you see a man bonding with his own dog,

740
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: So all of that is authentic. What they did was

741
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: they had actors go back in and overdub the voices,

742
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: so you see the director ben in the shot, but

743
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,239
Speaker 1: you hear a different actor's voice. And I will have

744
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: to say that was a little bit distracting because the

745
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: acting felt so stiff and I didn't realize it at

746
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: the time of watching this that that is what they did,

747
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: but that steed out to me so much that I

748
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: had to go investigate. And I have to imagine they

749
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: did that because of how hard it is to film

750
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: with a dog, which was what made this movie so

751
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: hard to make, because he did not want to force

752
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: his dog to do anything that Indy did not want

753
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: to do. And that is a big part of this,

754
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: because you as the viewer, are so worried about Indy,

755
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: and him as the filmmaker and also the owner of Indy,

756
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: didn't want to put him into situations that were going

757
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: to harm him. Didn't want to make Indie feel uncomfortable,

758
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: so at times they would just wait around for hours

759
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: until Indy felt comfortable doing something. And the crazy part

760
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: about this is the dog never felt scared. Indy was

761
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: never scared. It is through the power of filmmaking and

762
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: the way this movie is shot, which was really well done,

763
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: looked very cinematic, was a lot more beautiful looking than

764
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: I was anticipating because of how low budget this was,

765
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: and really the reason that it was available at a

766
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: movie theater down my street was because of how viral

767
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: the trailer went, but I was so surprised how everything

768
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: good looked, minus maybe one or two shots with the CGI.

769
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: But aside from that, anytime Indy was on the screen,

770
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: just staring into your soul, looking up at something that

771
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: he saw, it looks so beautiful. And Indy is such

772
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: a good looking dog. And I was like, that is

773
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: a movie star right here. He deserves an Oscar nomination

774
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: for Best Actor. And it's wild to think that a

775
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: dog can't act. A dog doesn't even know what a

776
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: movie is. He has no idea he is starring in

777
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: one of the most original movies of the year. The

778
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: director said, the only thing that Indy started to pick

779
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: up on was whenever he got the camera out. He

780
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: kind of was like, okay, I'm starting to associate things

781
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: whenever he pulls out the camera, much like a dog

782
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: wood whenever you grab the leash and they know, oh

783
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: it's time for a walk. If they hear a rapper,

784
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: they instantly get up and think, all right, you're about

785
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: to feed me. Something along those same lines. Whenever he

786
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 1: started to see the camera, he thought, okay, you guys

787
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: are about to act a little weird. But everything is

788
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: implied because you as the viewer know what is going on.

789
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: You are aware that you're watching a horror movie, and

790
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: through the lighting and the sound design, you feel scared

791
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 1: because you are seeing it from the perspective of Indie

792
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: and you know there is something lurking, but Indy has

793
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: no idea. So the fact that they were able to

794
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: make him feel comfortable not put him in any situations

795
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: where it was animal abuse. I think that's what made

796
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: this performance feel really authentic, because that is what makes

797
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: this movie novel. Now, when it comes to how scary

798
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: this movie actually is, I didn't really find it frightening

799
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: at any moment. It was more so that I was

800
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: invested in Indie. And obviously I won't give any spoilers here,

801
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: but before this movie even came out, and the reason

802
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: it went so viral is that people want to know

803
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: what happens to Indy, and I won't say what happens

804
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: in the ending, but I think that's what made this

805
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,959
Speaker 1: movie so engaging and entertaining, is you feel so much

806
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: for this dog and us as humans. That is how

807
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: we are. We can watch any horror movie and we

808
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: don't care about people getting their throat slash, getting crush

809
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: it and paled by Michael Myers or killed in their

810
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: dreams by Freddy Krueger. But if ever a horror movie

811
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 1: messes with a dog, that is kind of where we're

812
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: out of it. We don't want to see that. So

813
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: that is what you are feeling while watching this movie.

814
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: You want nothing bad to happen to Indy, especially because

815
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: he is so adorable and so lovable and stands by

816
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: his owner while he's going through all of these crazy things.

817
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: And I think that is the real message here, And

818
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: I think this movie is a metaphor for something of

819
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: how loyal a dog is and how they will be

820
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: there by your side no matter what. If you are

821
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: a good owner to them, they are your friend till

822
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: the end. But there are some things that your pet

823
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: cannot protect you from as much as they want to.

824
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: They can only play a certain role in your life.

825
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 1: And I think that is what this movie was trying

826
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: to say. Because the owner is going through something personally.

827
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 1: He has some hardships, he has a reason that he

828
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: went out to this new house. He has a lot

829
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: of things going on in his life, but the one

830
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: consistent thing is his dog, and his dog wants to

831
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: help him as he sees these dark entities ruining his life,

832
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: making him act out of character. But a dog's love

833
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: can only go so far until you have to pick

834
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: yourself up and you have to be the responsible one.

835
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: And I think that is what this movie was trying

836
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,479
Speaker 1: to say, or maybe I was just reading so much

837
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 1: into it, because I will say the plot is pretty bare,

838
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: but the movie is also only about an hour and

839
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: eleven minutes, so it doesn't oversay it's welcome, and I

840
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: think that is a powerful thing. And I hate to

841
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: complain about run times, but when you have a story

842
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: like this that isn't a huge story, it doesn't need

843
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: a whole lot of time to develop these characters because

844
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: you can't really develop a character who can't talk or

845
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: is really aware of the situation. This movie could only

846
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: be so long, and the fact that it is under

847
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: an hour and fifteen minutes is an incredible feat. So

848
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: as soon as you're getting invested in, the story already

849
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: starting to wrap itself up. But that being said, not

850
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: a whole lot of stuff happens, so you almost have

851
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: to allow yourself to let it be a little bit

852
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: scary to really get into it. And even watching this

853
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: in a fully dark theater with the sound blasting. There

854
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: weren't any moments that really stick out to me. It's like, oh,

855
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: that's creepy, or oh, man, I'm really worried here, which

856
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: I don't really feel that way in horror movies anymore.

857
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: But I think to even the more casual horror fan,

858
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: you're not really gonna find those moments. So I think

859
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: that's probably the hardest sell of showing it to somebody,

860
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: pitching it as a horror movie and saying, this movie's

861
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna freak you out, and really it's probably not. But

862
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: I love how novel it is. I love that this

863
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: movie made waves on the mainstream, and I love that

864
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: through the power of the Internet, finally doing something good

865
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: that because it went so viral, it was able to

866
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: go out into more theaters and have more people experience

867
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: this and get people talking. And I think that is

868
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: the power of filmmaking. That is why I love the

869
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: horror genre so much, is because a small movie like

870
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: this has a chance to compete with some of these gladiators.

871
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: Was out there competing this weekend with the Taylor Swift

872
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: album release with the Rock with the second week of

873
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio and here you have this little movie that

874
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: could making waves. So I'll admit about halfway through, I

875
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: was like, when is this thing gonna pick up a

876
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: little bit more, because even though it is a short movie,

877
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: it still takes its time to expand on things, and

878
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: I just thought it was gonna be a little bit

879
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: more leaning into the paranormal elements. But I got the

880
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: feeling that they just didn't have the budget for that.

881
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: But I got to give it up for Indy. I

882
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: boost it just for his performance and now the fact

883
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: that I really want a dog. So for good boy,

884
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: I give it three out of five pats on the head.

885
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: Who's a good boy?

886
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 2: It's time to head down to movie Mike Traylor.

887
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: Paul, I am flipping the format here a little bit.

888
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: Instead of a trailer, I am breaking down the poster

889
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: for the Simpsons movie who, quite possibly, at least in

890
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: my humble opinion, the biggest movie news of the year.

891
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: Simpsons making a sequel to the movie that came out

892
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven. It is coming out in

893
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: theaters July twenty third, twenty twenty seven. Oh man, that's

894
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: a bit of ways almost two years from now. Here's

895
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: why this is such a big deal, and let's do

896
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: a little history of The Simpsons. First of all, my

897
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: favorite show of all time. Out of any show scripted, animated,

898
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: it is my number one show. I started watching it

899
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: as a kid. It's shaped my taste in comedy. If

900
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: I am even one percent funny at all, depending on

901
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: how you feel about some of the things I say

902
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: on this podcast, if you think I'm funny or not,

903
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: you think, like, man, this guy thinks he's funny. If

904
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: I even have one percent of comedic timing, it is

905
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: all due to The Simpsons. I learned everything about jokes

906
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 1: from watching The Simpsons, from listening to commentary interviews, even

907
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: having people on this podcast from the Simpsons world. Ever

908
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: since I was a young boy, I love the Simpsons.

909
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: My parents didn't want me to watch it because in

910
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: the nineties apparently the worst thing you could say on

911
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: TV was eat my shorts, And now it's like, all right,

912
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: a lot more crazy things you could be exposed to

913
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: just on TikTok and YouTube, but it has always been

914
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: my favorite show. Going to see the Simpsons movie in

915
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 1: theaters in two thousand and seven was a core movie

916
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: memory for me, one I will never forget. All of

917
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 1: the Simpsons manias surrounding it from seven to eleven, transforming

918
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: locations into Quickie Marts, which is the convenience store on

919
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: the show. I hope they do that again, all the

920
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: tie in promotions and cereal boxes and foods. So that

921
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: is why I'm so excited about this, to be able

922
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: to experience that again. Here is some history on the show.

923
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: I've read a lot of books, I've watched a lot

924
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: of documentaries, a lot of YouTube videos, but The Simpsons

925
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: started as an animated short on The Tracy Omen Show

926
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: back on April nineteenth, nineteen eighty seven, and it wasn't

927
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 1: even a full show. There were one minute bumpers essentially

928
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: that they needed to get between sketches on The Tracy

929
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: Omen Show, kind of a throwaway thing. Matt Greening was

930
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: known at the time who was the creator of The

931
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: Simpsons for a comic called Life as Hell, and he

932
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: originally went to pitch a cartoon about that comic, but

933
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 1: then he realized that if he'd turned that comic into

934
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: a cartoon, the studio was going to have the rights

935
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: to that, and that was his life's work. That is

936
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: what he was known for. He was a punk rock cartoonist,

937
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: and he thought, man, I don't want them to have

938
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: the rights to this. Let me drop something really quick

939
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: based it on his family. He modeled Bart after his

940
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 1: older brother, but he wanted an anagram for the word

941
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: brat because that is what Bart Simpson is. And he

942
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: sketched this family together all based on his own family,

943
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: win in and pitch that, and that is what got

944
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: turned into the Simpsons. It became so popular on the

945
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 1: Tracy Omens Show that it was getting more lapsed than

946
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: the actual sketches inside of the show that two years

947
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: later it became its own series, and within a few

948
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: years of that, going into the nineties, it debuted on

949
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: Fox in nineteen eighty nine and within just a few

950
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: seasons went on to be a global phenomenon and is

951
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: currently in its thirty seventh season and has been renewed

952
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: through its fortieth season, which would be in twenty twenty

953
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: eight to twenty twenty nine. The interesting thing about the

954
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: season thirty seven premiere, which just happened and I was

955
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: just watching it before the announcement came out, is they

956
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: actually poked fun at this at the way movies have changed. Initially,

957
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: the Simpsons were driving to the Aztec Theater in Springfield,

958
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: going to see a movie, and then they make a

959
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: joke of saying, why would we go pay and see

960
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: this in theaters now when it's just going to be

961
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: streaming at home in a couple of days. So they

962
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: turn around and go home, and a few days later

963
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: it cuts to them watching it from the comfort of

964
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: their living room on a streaming service, and then make

965
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: fun of the idea now that it is riddled with ads,

966
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: so you're watching it and having an entirely different experience.

967
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: I didn't think anything of it watching that episode, but

968
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: when the announcement came out, I was like they were

969
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: trying to tell us that this was coming back. In

970
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, Disney acquired The Simpsons for seventy one point

971
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: three billion dollars. They got the rights to all of

972
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: the seasons of the show and the movie rights, and

973
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: have just been waiting and sitting on this, and I

974
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 1: just didn't think it was ever going to happen, because

975
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: this was one of those things. If you are a

976
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: long time Simpsons fan, I follow a lot of accounts,

977
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: and every now and then, I would say every few months,

978
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: somebody always posts like, oh, look the Simpsons two movie

979
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: was announced, and then you click into it and it's like,

980
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: just kidding, but that would be cool, right. I've been

981
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: seeing this for the last ten years, and to finally

982
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: see this poster pop up on my feed from the

983
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: official Disney account and Simpsons account, I about near lost

984
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: my mind, as you can hear in my voice, because

985
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: if you look at the timeline of all these things,

986
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: from when the TV show premiered to when we got

987
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 1: the first movie in two thousand and seven, that was

988
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: twenty years and now by the time this second movie

989
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: comes out is another twenty years. So from the very

990
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: first introduction of the Simpsons to the world until this

991
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: movie comes out will be forty years of the Simpsons.

992
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: I would have thought that this is how they were

993
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: going to end the show, because that is something that

994
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: has always been talked about. They kind of flirted with

995
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 1: the idea during a previous season finale where they used

996
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: AI to generate how the show would end. But if

997
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't for the fact that they are still renewed

998
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: through twenty twenty eight, I would have thought that this

999
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: would be a way to end it, And it really

1000
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: wasn't until me watching the season seven premiere that I

1001
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: thought this show could go on forever because I thought

1002
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: there would come a time for them to finally hang

1003
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 1: it up, or because of some of the original cast

1004
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: members who have been voicing these characters since the very beginning.

1005
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 1: They get a little bit older, maybe they don't want

1006
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: to do the show anymore, or maybe some of them

1007
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: start to pass and then you start to have to

1008
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: wonder how do they carry on doing the show. But

1009
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: there have been some people that they've recasted here and

1010
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: there that I still think it could happen without them.

1011
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: And to think that they're going to recast some of

1012
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 1: the Marvel characters at some point, like Robert Downey Junior

1013
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: or Chris Evans, I could see them get to a

1014
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 1: point if this show is still successful and a big

1015
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: property with a lot of money attached to it, they

1016
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: could eventually recast everybody on The Simpsons. But as a

1017
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: lifelong fan, I almost hoped that this would be how

1018
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: they would close it out. Just by looking at this poster,

1019
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: which is so reminiscent of the first movie poster back

1020
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven, the poster is almost entirely white.

1021
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: In the classic Simpsons text, it says Homer's coming back

1022
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: for seconds, and you see his yellow hand and going

1023
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: up to grab a pink classic Simpson's donut covered in

1024
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: number two sprinkles. And then you see the kind of

1025
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: grease stand hanging up on the wall. All it says

1026
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: on the bottom is in theater seven twenty three, twenty

1027
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 1: twenty seven. Matt Graning's name is right there at the bottom.

1028
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: That is a great poster. That is one that I

1029
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,359
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna have to put up on this wall

1030
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: because it looks so classic. It's not doing a lot.

1031
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 1: It didn't try to over explain everything. It was just nice,

1032
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: clear and cut, artistic and to the point. But the

1033
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 1: Simpsons movie is coming out in theaters. On July twenty third,

1034
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven.

1035
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 2: Said that was this week's edition of movie Line tram

1036
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 2: or Bar and.

1037
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: That is gonna do it for another episode here of

1038
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 1: the podcast. But before I go, I gotta give my

1039
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: listener shout out of the week. I did review one

1040
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: battle after another on last week's episode, and I would

1041
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: have to say is probably the warmest response to a

1042
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 1: review I've had all year. And I think it's because

1043
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: whenever I get that review and I had my shades

1044
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: on and my beanie on in my bathrobe. It really

1045
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: mellowed me out, and I did that to get into

1046
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: character for the review and really commit to the bit

1047
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: of being Leonardo DiCaprio's character Bob in that movie that

1048
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: I found myself just kind of feeling a little bit

1049
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: more chill, not getting so riled up about things. And

1050
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: it also allowed me to not be as pretentious as

1051
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,439
Speaker 1: some of the film bros who have been talking about

1052
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 1: this movie be in a masterpiece. I wanted to approach

1053
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: it from just my own perspective without trying to sound

1054
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: cool or trying to sound like I really needed to

1055
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: understand this film, So I think that really helped me.

1056
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: And reading all the comments from you guys on YouTube

1057
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: and Facebook made me realize that they did come through

1058
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: in that review. So appreciate all the nice comments I

1059
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: got this week. But this week I'm going over to

1060
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: TikTok and I'm shouting out somebody named old Enough to

1061
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: Know who had the one big contrary and I saw

1062
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: into my review last week and said the chase scene

1063
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: went on too long. Leo simply played the same character

1064
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: he played in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Old

1065
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: Enough to know, I have to completely disagree with you here.

1066
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: To me, there was not one scene in one battle

1067
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: after another that went on too long. I thought the

1068
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: movie was a pretty tight two and a half hours,

1069
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: and that scene had perfect pacing, the right amount of anticipation,

1070
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: and gave you that feeling of anxiety, also showing you

1071
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: the beautiful landscape, the way it just captured the motion,

1072
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: and the way it felt like you were on that

1073
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: road driving in one of those cars. I did not

1074
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: think that scene went on too long. And I also

1075
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: don't think Leo's character was the exact same person that

1076
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: he played in Once upon a Time in Hollywood. I

1077
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 1: feel the complete opposite way about that as well, because

1078
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: I think Bob would actually haint Rick Dalton and Once

1079
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: upon a Time in Hollywood. They would not get along.

1080
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: They have entirely different viewpoints on the world. I don't

1081
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: think Rick Dalton was that comedic, so I find them

1082
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: to be completely different. Old enough to know I do

1083
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: disagree with you, but I respect your opinion. So thank

1084
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: you for listening, Thank you for watching clips on TikTok

1085
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: and YouTube. If you ever want to see full reviews,

1086
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: they are up on my YouTube channel. I'm climbing up

1087
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: there on the subscriber count like slowly but surely, I

1088
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: am trying to get people to join the YouTube train.
