1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike, joined by my wife and

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: co host Kelsey. How are you?

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 2: I'm great.

5
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: We're gonna do what I call the Mikey's Okay, the

6
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: end of the Year Awards.

7
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: Have you ever done these before?

8
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 3: No?

9
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to do it, and I'm like, it

10
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: sounds kind of dumb, But why do I not want

11
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: to do something dumb on this podcast? Since when do

12
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: I not want to do something dumb? I have like

13
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: dumb categories. Then I have like the real categories at

14
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: the end. Okay, So we'll get into that. In the

15
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: movie review, I'll be talking about Avatar, Fire and Nash

16
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: all three hours and fifteen minutes of it. And what

17
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to is the Avengers Doomsday trailer where

18
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: it looks like Captain America is coming back. They're like

19
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: four different versions of it.

20
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: Are they showing the trailer before?

21
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Yes?

22
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: Avatar? And it's like, so we actually have to be

23
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: there to watch the trailer?

24
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: Do you have to be there? Because there's the one

25
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: trailer that's showing this week with Chris Evans, and then

26
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: there are four different ones showing four separate weeks. It'll

27
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: eventually all get leaked online. But it's kind of like

28
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: a if you want to see it in theaters, you

29
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: have to go watch Avatar four times as like twelve hours.

30
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a lot of the day Avatar more than once.

31
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: With regal a limited. Technically we could go just watch

32
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: the trailer and leave, but again, it'll probably be all

33
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: on the internet within a couple of weeks.

34
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: Okay, next time we go see a movie, what's the

35
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: next one we'll see? Like Marty Supreme. We go to

36
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: Avatar that's showing at the same time. We watch the trailers,

37
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: and then we go over to Marty suprem exactly.

38
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: There we go in the trailer park. We'll be talking

39
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: about Robert Patinson and Zendiya in the drama.

40
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 2: Which I keep playing the wedding, but.

41
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: They look great together. We'll talk about that. Thank you

42
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: for being here, Thank you for being subscribed. Shout out

43
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: to the Monday Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk

44
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: movies from the Nashville Podcast Network. This is Movie Mike

45
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: Movie Podcast to the Awards show music which only I

46
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: can hear because you don't have head votes.

47
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, earlier you asked me can you hear that, and

48
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: I was like, am I supposed to be here?

49
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Where are you? Voices? Welcome to the first ever Mikey Awards,

50
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: where I'm just handing out different categories. This is what

51
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: I think. We're the best and some of the worst

52
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: of the year. I don't think most award shows do that.

53
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: They hand out awards for the worst. I guess say

54
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: that's why it's a mix of everything. But I want

55
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: to start it out with what I think was the

56
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: best theater experience of the year. I'm gonna go with Weapons,

57
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: and that's because we all watched it together. It was me,

58
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: you and your two younger brothers.

59
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: Yes, you all forced me to go see this film.

60
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: And you hate horror movies mm hmm. And I made

61
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: an agreement with you that I would tell you when

62
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: it was going to be scary so you could look away.

63
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: Yes, and by lookaway you mean literally hide under a jracket,

64
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 3: which is what I did.

65
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: But I think overall, because of those factors, and because

66
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: of how good the movie was of keeping me entertained,

67
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: keeping the suspense going. When I look back on my

68
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: best experiences of the year, that was it. They had

69
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: all the things that I want out of a summer

70
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: blockbuster movie where it brought people together. There was that

71
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: feeling in the theater that even though you're in a

72
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: room of strangers, you felt this bond because we were

73
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: all anticipating things. There were moments that everybody kind of

74
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: gasped at once, and I think that is why I

75
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: still love going to the movies. That was the best

76
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: theater experience of the year. Next up the biggest disappointment.

77
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: I went with The Smashing Machine, just because I thought

78
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: it was going to have a little bit more of

79
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: an impact, be a little bit more dramatic.

80
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: I was boring.

81
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: It was so so boring. I was just waiting for

82
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: that movie to really hit, for there to be that

83
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: one moment that I felt was the Rocks kind of

84
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: shining moment. It was really cute up to be his

85
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: Even though he did get nominated for a Golden Globe.

86
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: I would have liked to have been punched to say

87
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: for that film.

88
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: There was just nothing that entertaining about it. Nothing stood

89
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: out about his character, which it is based on a

90
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: real guy. I just think they didn't get the story.

91
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: They should have made some stuff up, which I know

92
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: it was pretty accurate to his real life, but it's like.

93
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: If his life was interesting enough to make a movie,

94
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: how did that not translate in the film.

95
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: My runner up of biggest disappointment of the year was

96
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: I Know what You did Summer And I don't know

97
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: why I convinced myself that was going to be good,

98
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: but it was just kind of nostalgia Bate. Next up

99
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: the best pop culture moment of the year, I went

100
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: with Minecraft's Chicken Jockey. That was my favorite thing to

101
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: watch on TikTok where that scene took a life of

102
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: its own, and that is something you can't create through marketing.

103
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: It felt so organic. It made headlines in the news

104
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: because theaters didn't really embrace it because people were acting

105
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: too much of a fool.

106
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 3: Chicken Jockey is equivalent to six seven to me, and

107
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: that I don't understand either one of them. And I

108
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: know that makes me sound so old right now, but

109
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: that is what I feel.

110
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: But there at least is a little bit of lore

111
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: to Minecraft and the Chicken Jockey.

112
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: You never explained it, and the whole just walked around

113
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 2: the house going chicken Jockey.

114
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you didn't go see this with me?

115
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: Right? No?

116
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: Oh?

117
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: I remember in Denver.

118
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: I went to go see that movie alone and there

119
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: was a family in our usual seat, like you reserve seats,

120
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 1: but it was like a mom and her three maybe

121
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: four kids, and I was like, I'm not gonna make

122
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: them move, so I had to go down to the bottom,

123
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: which I kind of. I don't mind the front row.

124
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: Do we ever tell the story of that time that

125
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: someone was in our seats and we pointed it out

126
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: to them and they were like, well, there's a lot

127
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: of other open seats, and I just look at them

128
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: go and go, okay.

129
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: Go send them.

130
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, there are a lot of other open seats,

131
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 3: but I picked these.

132
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: A lot of people complain about what movie theaters don't

133
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: get right the reserve seating. I think they need to

134
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: get more credit for that. Of house so good.

135
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: Gone are the days I remember going to again. Back

136
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 3: back in ye old days, there was a theater in Flugerville,

137
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: Texas called Tenseltown, right off the highway. I remember having

138
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: to get there like forty five minutes before a movie

139
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: to get the spots you owned.

140
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: Now we roll up fifteen minutes after.

141
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: The movie started, after the movie started.

142
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: After the trailers, Oh okay, start.

143
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: Time if we can time it out perfect, we show

144
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: up final trailer hits.

145
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: We're timing it to get there and not watch any trailers.

146
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: Which at our regue, what's about twenty five minutes after

147
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: its advertised starting. Yeah, it's so great. Reserve seating is great.

148
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: Recliners, That's what I was going to say.

149
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 1: I don't think it is so hard to go back

150
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: to stadium seating.

151
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: Where the only place will do it is the Bell Court.

152
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: Yes, because that's a whole different experience. But there are

153
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: some regals that still have stadium seating, and if you

154
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: get one of those theaters, you're like, what year is this?

155
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: This is so uncomfortable.

156
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, now I will say it.

157
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: Our regal seats are a little the leathers cracked, they're

158
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: not in the best condition, but they still recline.

159
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

160
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: I did seem already Supremus two and a half hours,

161
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 3: So that'll definitely be a.

162
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need to recline for two and reclined for.

163
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: Two and a half hours.

164
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: I will also say the theater we go to with

165
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 3: my parents, that theater's on the next level and that

166
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 3: has the swivel trays to put your snacks in front.

167
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: Of that is pretty next level.

168
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: Now if we could get that at Regal, because it's like,

169
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: you know, I'm laying back, but my drink is in

170
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: the cup holder and I gotta like sit up.

171
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think there's this a cinemark and it like

172
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: swivels the tray.

173
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: Cinem marks are nice.

174
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: This is next level.

175
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: I used to love cine marks in Texas, but we

176
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: don't really have them here.

177
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: I don't have any. Yeah, it's not a thing here.

178
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: But that was my pop culture moment of the year.

179
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: Runner up was the Weapons Running Kid, because for about

180
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: a week I loved watching those videos and then I

181
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: would do it. But that was another good one.

182
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: Do you think people that listen to this podcast know

183
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: like how weird you are?

184
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: Now?

185
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: Not a chance, because I'm just imagining.

186
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: We've already told him you walked around the house going

187
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: chicken jockey, and now you're telling me did.

188
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 2: The weapons run around the house?

189
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: And I feel like people are just like, uh, I

190
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: mean the year before that, it was no where I

191
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: went around the whole house doing that all the time.

192
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: Chicken jockey that went on for a month, that was

193
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: at least a month minimum.

194
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am subject to a lot of these weird whims.

195
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: My best action scene of the year goes to the

196
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: chase scene in one battle after another. Yes, it was

197
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: so intense and so powerful, just the way that they

198
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: film that.

199
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: The like winding Road. Yeah, yeah, it's so good.

200
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: Just visually it created this even though you're watching a

201
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: two D screen, it felt like I was fully in

202
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: that moment.

203
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: It was almost optical illusion.

204
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: It just like felt like you were in it, and

205
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: it like simulated motion even though you weren't moving.

206
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: My award for committing to the bit is Emma Stone

207
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: for shaving her head in Bogonia.

208
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: That is a commitment to the bit.

209
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: Can you imagine shaving your head for a movie and

210
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: what you actually see in Bogonia is the moment that

211
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: she shaved her head.

212
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: I mean, she probably got paid multimillions. I do that

213
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: for a couple of million.

214
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, she'll probably get an Oscar for it. Yeah, she's

215
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna get a Mikey for it. But that doesn't really matter.

216
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: But that is next level. That to me is somebody

217
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: who takes a role and says I'm gonna give everything

218
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: I can to this no matter what it does.

219
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: That to me, is way easier than a physical transformation

220
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: of having to gain or lose weight.

221
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, shaving your head, that's that's one.

222
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: I'm done.

223
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: You go home with that, she had to tell her daughter.

224
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's like you shave it, that's done, and

225
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 3: then it grows back. Gaining or losing weight is like

226
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: a whole, like grueling physical process.

227
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 2: I'm like, shaving your head.

228
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: If a movie required me to shave my head or

229
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: do a physical transformation, shave my head.

230
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: She has a great shaved head though.

231
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing. She's like so stunning that it's

232
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: almost like she can pull off the shaved head. So

233
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: it's like not a big deal.

234
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: But there's also like wigs and which she.

235
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: Did wear for a while because she kept it hidden. Yeah,

236
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: she had to get the clippers. No, I just got

237
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: a fresh bob hair. Looks great, by the way, thank you.

238
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: Next up on my award list, I have the most

239
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: over hated movie of the year. It is Going to

240
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: the Electric State, which was Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt.

241
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: Oh the Netflix one, Yes, which it's about like a

242
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: futuristic world robots. I just feel like a lot of

243
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: people hated this movie for no reason.

244
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: Where Chris Pratt.

245
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: I think it's Chris Pratt. I like Millie Bobby Brown

246
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: obviously from Stranger Things. I don't really think she's found

247
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: her role yet or even what genre she's good at

248
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: outside of it. She's taken on a lot of movies

249
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: where I feel it was almost more important that she

250
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: had the lead role in it than the movie itself. Okay,

251
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: that's just how I take like some of the things

252
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: that she's taken on. It is like, I want to

253
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: be a movie star. I'm going to take these roles

254
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: that are big, put me in the title card, But

255
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they necessarily speak to what she is

256
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: good at yet. I don't think she's found that yet.

257
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she's also only like twenty one.

258
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's really she's got time, She's she's gonna

259
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: be fine. But I actually ended up enjoying this movie

260
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: where I thought it was one of those things where

261
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: the narrative was just created so early on that the

262
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: movie was trash that everybody kind of piled on. And

263
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: I think it was victim of one of those It

264
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: has such a low score on that ratings website that

265
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: everybody kind of believes it and then just kind of

266
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: piles on it, where even if you did end up

267
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: enjoying it and came out and said I actually liked

268
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: that movie, you would feel like you were going to

269
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: be an outcast.

270
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: So was it a lot of like online narrative of

271
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: it being like this is trash and then that narrative

272
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 3: kind of spreads. It reminds me of I think Rolling

273
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: Stone just published it an article about how all of

274
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: that hate about Taylor Shift's new album was manufactured by

275
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 3: like several bots and then it spread.

276
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: A lot of things.

277
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: Do you think that's kind of like this, Like a

278
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: couple people say it's terrible and then that narrative just spreads.

279
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: Yes, I have a theory kind of what you were

280
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: saying is that competing studios do this to downplay other

281
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: movies and get the negative.

282
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: I press, Oh, I'm sure because algorithms now too.

283
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: You put a couple things out there in rapid succession,

284
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 3: and that's all your algorithm is.

285
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: And it's also you in your algorithm will get all

286
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: the negative reviews before you get any of the positive,

287
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: because the negative are evoking emotion and getting people in

288
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: the comments. Yep, where even if you just watch one

289
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: of those, you keep getting another video, another video like

290
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: right after that, and suddenly you've seen three videos about

291
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: why the Electric States sucks and you now believe, Oh,

292
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: that's a bad movie. I'm not gonna go watch it.

293
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of movies have been victim to

294
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: this where maybe they're not the best movie of all time,

295
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: but they are not worth the amount of hate, and

296
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: the hate narrative is easier to push than enjoying something.

297
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: Kind of on a mid level, it's very interesting. Yeah,

298
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: I think we get controlled a lot like that, oh

299
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: for spots, just saying all these things in the comments,

300
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: and then other people responding to bots, and then it

301
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: just increases from there. But I think also with the

302
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: marvel In DC feud, I have a feeling that a

303
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: lot of that stuff was review bombing. I think that

304
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: was a tactic that they had to when one movie

305
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: came out from the other studio, they would review bomb,

306
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: either get bought, or just give people to say negative things,

307
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: therefore lessening the brand of the other. I feel like

308
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: that happens, which is not crazy to think.

309
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's okay, it's not the exact same thing,

310
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 3: but a similar thing I can look at is if

311
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 3: you go on Sephora and you look at a product

312
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 3: and say it has four point seven stars, like one

313
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 3: thousand reviews. So if you turn off incentivized reviews, you'll

314
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 3: find it only has like ten reviews, but a lot

315
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 3: of those people and I listen, I've signed up so

316
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: many things online that sometimes I get like for things

317
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 3: from makeup brands, and I write a review, but I'm

318
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: very honest in my review. But that's another way that

319
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 3: if you turn off like incentivized reviews, you see that

320
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 3: like ten people have reviewed it and five of them

321
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 3: hate the product, but it's like nine hundred reviews of

322
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: people who got it for free to write a review,

323
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: and they think, oh, I have to say I like it.

324
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: We're all being lied to.

325
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: I means, yeah, it's like digital manipulation and marketing.

326
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: There's also that dead Internet theory where the majority of

327
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: things online is either AI or just bots, and we're

328
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: not really interacting with the whole lot of people. Yeah,

329
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: that's weird to think about it too.

330
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess that's why they say, like, get

331
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: out and have real conversations.

332
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: You touch grass, go touch grass for best shot of

333
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: the year. I have one of the final moments in

334
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: Sinners with Michael B. Jordan and Miles Canton where they

335
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: have like the flames in their face. I think that

336
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: was the single best image of the year. I don't

337
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: want to say too much about what happens because it's

338
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: in the third act. I don't want spoil it. But

339
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen Sinners, I think out of every

340
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: movie this year had the best cinematography, where there were

341
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: so many just one shot moments that I feel like

342
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: I could take a picture of and put them on

343
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: the wall because they were shot so well.

344
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: You and my little brother both loved that movie.

345
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: It was really good visually, the music, the acting, everything

346
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: about that movie was great. I know a lot of

347
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: people said it felt like a from Dust Till Dawn

348
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: kind of rip off, but I love both movies. Why

349
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: would I not want another version of that movie?

350
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, in the age of everything being remade,

351
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 2: everything's reading.

352
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: Being inspired by something.

353
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, has anyone had an original talk? I also have

354
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 3: to say people, there's gonna be a hot take. Somebody's

355
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 3: gonna go online and say I'm terrible for this, and

356
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 3: that's fine. People who are complaining about things that are

357
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: not original are also the ones like having AI make

358
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 3: them a grocery list.

359
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I said it.

360
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: If you're having chat GPT make you a grocery list,

361
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: like I don't know, not like a meal plan, like

362
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 3: that's different, but like a basic grocery list. You're probably

363
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: also getting mad that an idea is inspired by something else.

364
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: Like with songs, people get lawsuits over making a song

365
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: that sounds similar to another four chords and yeah, there

366
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: are only so many notes, only so many chords that

367
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: eventually you're going to step on another song by just

368
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: using all those same notes. I think almost the same

369
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: thing with movies. If you really break down what a

370
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: movie is about, there are only so many ways to

371
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: tell a story, like the hero story, the redemption story

372
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: that a lot of movies probably are different versions of

373
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: other movies. If you look at Star Wars and you

374
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: look at Harry Potter, the bass is the basis is

375
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: the basis. The basis of those stories are kind of

376
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: the same, the chosen one. Yeah, but people don't really

377
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: get sued for that unless you straight up steal a script,

378
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: which there have been some cases of that of like, oh,

379
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: that's way too close.

380
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: It's probably similar to like why some musicians can't listen

381
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: to a lot of other music because then they're like,

382
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: did I come up with this on my own? It's

383
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 3: the same idea of I mean even like I'll take

384
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: an example of writing like research papers in grad school,

385
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: Like you go and read other published scientific literature, and

386
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 3: you kind of get the narrative of what's out there,

387
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 3: and then you write your own, and then at some

388
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: point you're like, did I come up with this sentence?

389
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: Or you have read a sentence like two days ago,

390
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 3: and then you think of it, and then you're like, oh,

391
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: that's a great sentence.

392
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: I thought of it.

393
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: Like sometimes your brain just doesn't know. So, I mean,

394
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: I don't think all things are necessarily a rip off.

395
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: I think they can be inspired by. Also a lot

396
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: of times people make original movies.

397
00:15:59,200 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: And they flop.

398
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so then it's like, why is anyone creating anything

399
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: original anymore?

400
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at this year, people say

401
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: there aren't original movies anymore. There was some great original

402
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: movies this year that nobody watched.

403
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably because they don't get the buzz of the

404
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: ones that have the backing of a big studio, which

405
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: is movies that are either reboots, sequels, or similar to

406
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 3: other things.

407
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: The movies that are getting Happy Meal tie ins aren't

408
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: necessarily all the original movies. It's the familiar ones. There's

409
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: this line that you have to walk of, like what

410
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: feels familiar and what feels original.

411
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: And like at the same time, what's gonna get butts

412
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 3: and seats to watch a movie?

413
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: All right? My next category, I have best Animal, and

414
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm going with Indy from A Good Boy, which was

415
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: the horror movie from the perspective of the dog.

416
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: Kind of surprisasure.

417
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: You didn't go Crypto, but I guess Crypto wasn't like

418
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 3: a real dog. It was based on James Gunn's dog.

419
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, they use like images of his real dog, cgi dog.

420
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: This is a real dog. I don't even know what

421
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: kind of dog this is. And Nova Scotia duck Tolling Retriever.

422
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: It looks like Golden Retriever but cuter. It's like smaller.

423
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: Can he be an airbud?

424
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: It is coming out next summer. Next up, I have

425
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: biggest cash grab. Do you know what it is?

426
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 2: What month did it come out in?

427
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: I think August? You saw it. It was a one

428
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: night or maybe two night thing. Hamilton, No kind of

429
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: close in the vein. I don't know Taylor Swift The

430
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: Official Party Life of a Showgirl.

431
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: Okay.

432
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 3: First of all, that came out in October, okay October.

433
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and you also went to see it, so

434
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 3: everything about that statement was in correct.

435
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: What I'm saying, you went to see it. I was

436
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: there and you were there.

437
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: Okay, I could have guessed if you had the right month. Okay,

438
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: we need a new producer on this.

439
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 1: I was going up the dough. I forgot that came

440
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: out in October third now you yeah, Now I remember.

441
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: I have that date stuck in my head.

442
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 2: Because that's also the day we got engaged, and it's

443
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 2: mean girls time.

444
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: It felt hot when that movie came out, but I

445
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: guess October wasn't that hot.

446
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: I was set up to not get that answer.

447
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: Correct.

448
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a cash.

449
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: Grab, total cash grab. But it made fifty million dollars globally. Uh.

450
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: I feel like she is a master of repurposing everything,

451
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: which while watching the Disney documentary, I didn't realize how

452
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: long it had been since she actually toured. Yeah, so

453
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: now I see why that tour was such a big

454
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: deal and she.

455
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: Used the money to buy her Master's pack.

456
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I love Taylor stuff, but I will

457
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: admiss everything is a cash grab everything.

458
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: Sometimes I like to call her my capitalist queen.

459
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: I've gotten off the train of like seventeen vinyl variants,

460
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: eight thousand new merch items for every album.

461
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: It's a lot. It's a lot.

462
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: And that is the only reason I felt that was

463
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: a big cash grab where maybe some fans got ripped

464
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: off a little bit because of the lyric videos, where

465
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be like a full

466
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: visual element to every single song. Yeah, those are images

467
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: on loops, yeah, shot with her iPhone, yes, and bad backgrounds.

468
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: The actual documentary part I thought was cool.

469
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: There wasn't enough there to build like a cinematic event.

470
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was basically like maybe twenty thirty minutes of

471
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: that making of that music video and then everything else

472
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: kind of sprinkled in. But now I just have the

473
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: face of Ophelia stuck in my head where I just

474
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: I go back to that. Yeah, that showing.

475
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: But it's like the doc you serious, is what we

476
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: really wanted.

477
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, something that is so much better, that's really good,

478
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: and that we didn't have to pay money in the

479
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: theaters for because.

480
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: We already paid for Disney Plus.

481
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, because that wasn't even the thing we could

482
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: use our Regal unlimited for because we had to pay.

483
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 3: We bought extra ticks. But it was like a fun event.

484
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 3: We went with friends. It was a social thing.

485
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: We got a glow stick wristband.

486
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we knew it wasn't going to be

487
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 2: anything the Earth Showering.

488
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. For best popcorn bucket, I have the Leelo and

489
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: Stitch popcorn bucket, which is the Stitch from Regal that

490
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: you got me.

491
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I did.

492
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 3: I literally went on my lunch break one day and

493
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 3: bought it because I was afraid it was going to

494
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 3: sell out.

495
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: I just have that memory of me coming home and

496
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: Stitch being on the kitchen counter.

497
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: No, I hit it in the car. You came home.

498
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: I hit it in the car.

499
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: You went to take a shower, and while you were showering,

500
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 3: I ran and got it out of the car and

501
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: I put it on the kitchen counter and you turned

502
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: around and like saw it out of the corner of

503
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 3: your eye and then you like did a double take, and.

504
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: I was like surprise, And because it looks so lifelike,

505
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: it was like Stitch was actually on the kitchen calendar

506
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: because we were going to see it opening night on

507
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: Friday at like seven, and I was like, man, they

508
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: could possibly sell.

509
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: Out before then, and anyw how about you wanted it?

510
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: And if we would have waited, wouldn't have got it?

511
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: So best popcorn bucket of the Year probably Ever, I

512
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: don't think anything could get better than that Best Wife

513
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: of the Year, because a lot of them come out

514
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: and they look cool. But then I think to myself,

515
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: where am I going to put that?

516
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 2: About you? A lot of like random stitch things.

517
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: It's the number one thing you can buy me that

518
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: I'll like no matter what, no matter what it is.

519
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bought you a Stitch calendar about your little

520
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: stitch figure, a stitch ornament, and just buy a lot

521
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: of stitch things.

522
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: We will get to the meat of the awards now,

523
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: the real ones for best the Vegan Meat, the vegan Meat.

524
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: For Best Supporting Actor, I'm gonna go Benicio del Toro.

525
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: In one battle after another, he's so good. He was

526
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: just hilarious in it, his little dance whenever he gets

527
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: pulled over, him having the little small beers, like everything

528
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: about his character just felt so genuine to him that

529
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: nobody else could have played that.

530
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was fantastic in that role.

531
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: Not only does he win on this award show, but

532
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: I hope he wins at the big award show, the

533
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: Golden Globes and the Oscars. My runner up for that

534
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: was Jacob Alordi in Frankenstein, which is still considered a

535
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: supporting role. He is up for the Golden Globe, but

536
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: I think that role for him is cool because he's

537
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: kind of painted as like I mean, he's a really

538
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: good actor, but I don't think he's been given a

539
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: role where he just had to go through that big

540
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: of a transformation where not really based on his looks.

541
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 2: I was gonna say most of his roles, he's just like.

542
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: Detractive, hood looking guy like in the new Margot rob Yeah.

543
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,239
Speaker 3: Wuthering Heights, Euphoria, Kissing Booth, like anything he's been in.

544
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 3: He's just like tall, attractive man Saltburn. Yes, forgot about

545
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 3: that film, which I.

546
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: Can't believe the new season of Euphoria is actually coming out.

547
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 3: I know you hypothesized on this podcast that it would

548
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 3: never exist.

549
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: I didn't think it would ever come out, even seeing

550
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: the posters for it. I'm like, man, it's really coming

551
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: out filmed? Is it really going to come out? But

552
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: it looks like we're actually going to get it. But

553
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: he was a runner up for me for Best Supporting

554
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: Actress also from One Battle after Another. I have Chase Infinnity,

555
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: who was Leonardo DiCaprio's daughter in that movie, so good.

556
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 2: Breakout Star of the Year All Around Superstar.

557
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: Which is available on Max now if you missed that

558
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: in theaters. For runner up in that category, I have

559
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: Emily Blunt in The Smashing Machine, which I think she

560
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: just had the best performance Overhall in that where if

561
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been for her character, the reason I

562
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: give her runner up, I wouldn't have had any emotional

563
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: attachment to anybody at all. Okay, I think it was

564
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: her performance that saved that movie, that made The Rock better.

565
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: So if The Rock ever ends up winning any award

566
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: for that, it's because of her. She made him look better.

567
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking about Emily Blunt, and then it just

568
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: made me remember The Devil Worst Product two is coming

569
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 3: out next year.

570
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: That's true.

571
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 2: It's me a great year for movies and TV next year.

572
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: A lot of sequel, a lot of number twos for

573
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: Best Actor again, I'm going back to one battle after another.

574
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: Have Leonardo DiCaprio.

575
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 3: I hope he wins an Oscar for this, like for

576
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,479
Speaker 3: all the years he didn't win an Oscar, and then

577
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: he didn't get it till The Revenant. Like he's done

578
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 3: so many incredible roles. I think he deserves an Oscar

579
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 3: for this.

580
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he fully deserved it for The Remnant.

581
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: I just think the Academy thought it's kind of his time.

582
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: We've been keeping him from winning this for a long time.

583
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: That it was more of like here you go, here's

584
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: your award now. But out of all his performances, it's

585
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: not his strongest. That's not even one that I go

586
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: back and think, I haven't watched it.

587
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 3: Oh it's good because I know there's something about getting

588
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 3: eaten by a bear and it's two graphics.

589
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: Like you probably should have won for Wolf of Wall

590
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: Street over that Titanic. Yeah, there's so many other iconic

591
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: roles Jack, but I think one battle after another will

592
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: be fully deserved, just him nailing the Mexican whistle and

593
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: being able to speak Spanish, which he learned from like

594
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: his landscape or perfect I haven't heard a more authentic

595
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: portrayal in a movie of this scale before. For runner up,

596
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: I would go with Michael B. Jordan Sinners, which he

597
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: played two characters.

598
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 3: Have you watched the actors on actors Michael B. Jordan

599
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 3: and Jesse Plemons yet?

600
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: No, I've seen clips of it.

601
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 2: We need to watch that.

602
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 3: I it's crazy to think that they both got their

603
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 3: start on Friday Night Lights.

604
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: Yeah. I saw when he was saying that Michael B.

605
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: Jordan was like the new blood or no, wait, yes,

606
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: yes he was. He came in later, right, Yeah, yeah.

607
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: I never watched that show though, but.

608
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: There's been some good pairings. No Friday Night Lightriday Night

609
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: Actors On.

610
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: I do like actors on actors.

611
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: You never watched Friday Night Light.

612
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: No, not a single episode.

613
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 2: And I've watched The Simpsons for you.

614
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: I've watched the movie Friday Night Lights.

615
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: I love Okay.

616
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: The movie made me want to go back to high

617
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: school to play football.

618
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 3: The TV shows so so, so, so, so, so so

619
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 3: so good.

620
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: For best female actor, I have Emma Stone in Bagonia.

621
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: We were talking about her earlier, just their commitment. Her

622
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: character in that movie is so powerful and I've never

623
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: hated but also loved a character more at the same time,

624
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: because she plays like a CEO that is not necessarily

625
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: a good person, not necessarily a bad person, but she

626
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: makes you feel a lot of things.

627
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 3: I would like to see her do some things other

628
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: than yourgo's films, though. I think I'd like to see

629
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: emmastone back in like a rom com or just like

630
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 3: a regular drama and la Land, Yeah, just not as

631
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: out there as a Yorgos like she's done three. I

632
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 3: think we I'm gonna take a little break from Yorgos

633
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 3: to do little something else.

634
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: That's probably the max. I feel like he gets amused,

635
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: stays with them for a while. I think he probably

636
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: moves on after this, especially if she wins another Oscar.

637
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 2: I think we should.

638
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: I think I think they move on after this. For

639
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: runner up in that category, I have Jesse Buckley and Hamlet.

640
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 2: I can't even talk about that performance. It was so stunning, phenomenal,

641
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: I get on it. I could see either one of

642
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: them winning an Oscar for that.

643
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's between them too.

644
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: Like Jesse Buckley's performance was so freaking good.

645
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: I think she has the better shot just from the

646
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: Academy on just the strict acting skills, yes, but I

647
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,239
Speaker 1: think overall, with when it goes into the movie and

648
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: everything around it, I think Emma Stone given her history

649
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: as well, I could see her winning it over her.

650
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: For Best Director, I have Paul Thomas Anderson also from

651
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: One Battle After Another. Runner up in that category, I

652
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: have Zach Kreiger from Weapons, and finally best directorial Debut,

653
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: I have Eva Victor for Sorry Baby, which she wrote

654
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: and directed that movie Channel from a Lot of Personal Experience,

655
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: which this movie is also on HBO Max if you

656
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: haven't seen it. It's about a grad student turned professor

657
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: who goes through something pretty traumatic. Won't tell you all

658
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: the details, but it's really powerful and I just really

659
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: enjoyed the way she handled the story and it really

660
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: felt like somebody pouring out a project that they've probably

661
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: been thinking about their entire life, where I feel like

662
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: you only get that one first movie to really show

663
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: you everything about you was a director, and I think

664
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: she nailed it with Sorry Baby.

665
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: I loved that movie.

666
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: Runner up though, I do have the director of Twin Liss,

667
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: who was also starred and wrote and directed that.

668
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: Movie, also a really good one.

669
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that was also one that came out.

670
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 3: It was one I was not expecting to love so much.

671
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 3: Knew nothing about it and went in and was like,

672
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 3: this is so good.

673
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. James Sweeney directed and starred in that movie. I

674
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 1: knew nothing about it going into it. I think I

675
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: saw maybe half of the trailer, kind of went in blind.

676
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: For the most part, I just knew it was about

677
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: two people meeting in a support group for people who

678
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: have lost a twin sibling. That's all I really knew.

679
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: And then it goes almost into a psychological thriller. There's

680
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: some comedy in there, some lot of drama.

681
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wasn't expecting some of the ways in which

682
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 3: in which it turned.

683
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: Visually it also looked good.

684
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 3: Yeah. That was one of those that we were just

685
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: kind of like, all right, we'll go see it, we'll

686
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 3: really see anything anything, and then we end up liking

687
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 3: a lot of them.

688
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: That is the first ever Mikey Awards. All right, congrats

689
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: to all the people who won. Even though you'll never.

690
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 2: Know they'll be getting their prize mailed to them.

691
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: They'll be mailed to you in fourteen business days. Let's

692
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: get into it now. A spoiler free movie review of

693
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: Avatar Fire and Ash. Was it worth the over three

694
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: hour runtime. I sat down in the theater completely packed.

695
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: Was nice to see so many people come together for

696
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 1: a movie I don't know anybody else is excited for.

697
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: And I think that's how I feel about the Avatar franchise.

698
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: These movies do really well at the box office, crushing

699
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: it internationally. But if I went out on the street

700
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: to try to find one individual fan of Avatar, I

701
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: don't know that I could do it. Do people just

702
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: love these movies in secret? It's kind of like The Weekend,

703
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: who was one of the biggest artists on the planet.

704
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: But I do not know a single person whose favorite

705
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: artist is The Weekend. Where are these people? Maybe if

706
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: you're a fan of somebody like The Weekend, even Imaginedins,

707
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: maybe Nickelback or Avatar, you love these things so much,

708
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: but you don't feel the need to scream it from

709
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: the rooftops. You don't feel the need to go on

710
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: social media and proclaim your love for these types of

711
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: artists and franchise. But when it comes to who shows up,

712
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: who puts their butt in the seats? Making James Cameron

713
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: not look like a complete psychopath? Spending four hundred million

714
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: dollars to make a movie like this. You are there,

715
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 1: you are showing up, you are keeping the movie theaters

716
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: alive across the world, and I commend you for that.

717
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: But maybe I would just like to run into one

718
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: another Avatar fan. For me, When the first one came

719
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: out back in two thousand and nine, I thought it

720
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: was so overhyped. I hated the three D trend that

721
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: it created, because after Avatar made a splash using that technology,

722
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: all the movies that followed in the twenty ten started

723
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: doing it, and I hated that trend. It really wasn't

724
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: until Way of Water came out a few years ago

725
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: that I understood it and went back watched the and

726
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, I was missing out a lot on

727
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: this because I was so focused on the three D aspects.

728
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: But they are big, epic movies, big fights, big everything

729
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: about them is epic. That is what James Cameron does

730
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: so well, big scores. I loved Way of Water in theaters,

731
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: so going into this one, I am probably the most

732
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: excited I have ever been. That being said, the movie

733
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: did let me down just a little bit. But before

734
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: I get into the negative, I do want to talk

735
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: about the positive because I sat down in that theater

736
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: at seven to twenty six pm on a Friday night.

737
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: I did not leave until ten thirty five pm is

738
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: when the credits rolled. That is a long time. I

739
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: thought Avatar one and two they warranted that run times.

740
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: I was advocating for these movies. Seeing it really makes

741
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: a big difference seeing these movies in theaters because you

742
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: hear that a lot. Actors say it all the time.

743
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: Directors say it all the time. You need to get

744
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: to the biggest screen possible to take in this movie.

745
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: And sometimes that's not true. That's just the thing they say.

746
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: It's a marketing thing. They want you to spend your

747
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: money too from their projects to go see these movies

748
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: to allow them to continue to do this, But not

749
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: every time. Are these characters? Are these stories actually enhanced

750
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,959
Speaker 1: by seeing them on the largest screen possible. When it

751
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: comes to Avatar, Fire and Ash, if you do not

752
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: see this movie in theaters, you are not seeing it

753
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: in the right way. I was so blown away at

754
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: the opening sequence that my mind was scrambled a little bit,

755
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: and it is so hard for me to witness anything

756
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: nowadays that feels like something I haven't experienced. Just doesn't

757
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: happen to create something that I can ingest in my

758
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: eyeballs without wearing three D glasses because I didn't see

759
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: this movie in three D. That felt so immersive. It

760
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: was kind of like if you go to somebody's house

761
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: and they don't know they have that weird motion thing

762
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: on their four KTV. The first time I ever saw

763
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: a four KTV, I was blown away because it looked

764
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: like a soap opera, like the person was actually inside

765
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: the box. It must have been what people felt like

766
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: back when TV was first created, and they were like

767
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: scared that the thing was going to rush out at them,

768
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: or the waves were going to come through their TV,

769
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: the train was going to come through. That is how

770
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: I felt the first time I saw four KTV. I'm like,

771
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: why are these people so crisp? Why is that motion

772
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: so weird looking? And I know that's the setting. Now

773
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: you can turn off and if you see somebody with

774
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: that on their TV, now you're like, why are you

775
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: watching things like this? But when I sat down to

776
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: watch Fire and Ash, I had that same feeling again,

777
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: and it felt so weird because it was a little discombobulating,

778
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: and it took me a few maybe even ten minutes

779
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: to get fully adjusted to it, because the action does

780
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: start out a lot of it in the air, and

781
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: I think that is when it's the most evident, where

782
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: you see these creatures flying across the screen and there

783
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: is so much depth this motion. It is so crisp,

784
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: and I've never witnessed something in a movie theater that

785
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: felt more real life than real life, and I think

786
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: that is something that movies are always trying to emulate.

787
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: How can we make it feel like this is actually

788
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: happening before you. This movie felt more HD than anybody

789
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: sitting or standing right in front of me that I

790
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: could actually lean out and touch. It is this crazy

791
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: amount of hyperrealism where the first time I've truly felt

792
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: and seen and witnessed all that movie budget used on screen,

793
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: and I realize why these movies are so expensive to make,

794
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: which I've been probably in the behind the scenes of

795
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: this movie the most I've been in any movie so

796
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: far this year, because I think, out of everything, it

797
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: is the technical aspects that I'm so drawn to, more

798
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: so than the story itself. When it comes to anything

799
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: involving Avatar, this one, it really just felt like the

800
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: best parts of one and the best parts of two

801
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: rehashed where now you have these fire people, you have

802
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: this new villain who it's a pretty good threat, a

803
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: very psychotic person who just wants to see the world burn.

804
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: But when it comes to the motivations in this movie,

805
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: the story behind it of Jake and his fans, it

806
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: is the exact same thing from Away Water. You have

807
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: the bad guys trying to capture the good guys, and

808
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: they're just constantly on the run, and it's the same

809
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: plot point just played out over and over again. Now

810
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean it's not entertaining. I just need something different.

811
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: At this point where the first hour I was totally in.

812
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: If this movie would have been two hours long, I

813
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: would have left completely satisfied hype. I would have been

814
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: just so excited about it, because in those first sixty

815
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: minutes you get this fast paced action where one thing

816
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: is happening after another, these really great big battles, where

817
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: these amazing visuals just keep my eye on the screen

818
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: the entire time, so much color, so much rich action

819
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: and motion that I was completely drawn into and just

820
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: completely sucked into this world. Now about the two hour mark,

821
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: it just started to become a little bit repetitive. I

822
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: started to lose interest in some of these characters. It

823
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: felt more comical. There are interactions, and people in the

824
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: theater were excited clapping at moments. There's a moment going

825
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: into the third act that feels a little bit triumphant.

826
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: Fell a little flat for me, But there were other

827
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: people fully invested in it, so I could see the

828
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: people who were big fans of this franchise actually get

829
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: what they wanted out of it. And maybe you do

830
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: just want the same thing over and over again. I

831
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: say that as a Marvel and DC fan, where if

832
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: you break down those movies, Kyda is the same thing

833
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: over and over again. But I think what separates those

834
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: two is the characters, where I understand the reason why

835
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: these characters are the way they are. These movies do

836
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: so well internationally, and you can translate these movies into

837
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: any language and it makes sense. And I think almost

838
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: that type of filmmaking, which obviously is to make the

839
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: most amount of money out of your product, makes me

840
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: feel just less connected with those characters, and it's just

841
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: not as novel anymore. Whenever, back in two thousand and

842
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: seeing this blue creature that's oddly attractive in a weird

843
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 1: way because they're wearing no clothing aside from this little

844
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: piece covering their boobs. Why do these characters even have boobs?

845
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: And why are they running around and basically nothing. That

846
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: was a lot more novel back in two thousand and nine.

847
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: Now in twenty twenty five, where we've seen this now

848
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: for over nine hours, we have a part four and

849
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: a part five on the way, it is a little

850
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: bit less novel, And I know they're gonna change a

851
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: bit of the format, switching narrators going into four and five,

852
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 1: and maybe that'll make it feel a little bit more fresh,

853
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: because the way this entire movie was sold to me

854
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: was the fire and ash elements, which there was a

855
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: lot of fire and ash, but I was looking for

856
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: a complete change in the landscape of these movies where

857
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: I felt a lot of it went back to the

858
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: places we've already visited before INDI visuals, we've already seen.

859
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: It's almost like if you go to dinner, you get

860
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: a really great dish, that first bite you take is amazing,

861
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: But if you have this giant platter of it that

862
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: is thirty hours long, you're eventually gonna get tired of

863
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: that taste. No matter how great it was in those

864
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: first few bites, even the biggest Sunday, by the end

865
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: of it you get kind of sick of it. And

866
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: by the end of this movie I was full. I

867
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: had a virtual stomach ache, just because it was so

868
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: much to take in at once, and for the first

869
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: time ever in an Avatar movie, maybe in any James

870
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: Cameron movie. I just felt like it was not worth

871
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: that three hour and ten minute runtime. And I think

872
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: at his age in his seventies now, he is somebody

873
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 1: who is more interested in the technology aspect of making

874
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: a movie, even more so than the storytelling, even though

875
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: he is somebody who has really great attention to detail,

876
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: down to the score, down to the movements, down to

877
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: the lighting, down to everything. But I think hearing him

878
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: talk about this movie saying that he doesn't care about

879
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: practical effects at all, that he hasn't done that since Titanic.

880
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: He is much more interested in the art of illusion,

881
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: which that is what he believes that filmmaking is. And

882
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: I do agree with him on some aspects, because when

883
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: it came to some of the characters, especially the villains,

884
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: they were straight cornball at times where I was laughing

885
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: more at them than I was with them. Felt completely

886
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: one dimensional in such a three D movie. And the

887
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: whole time I was watching Avatar, Fire and Nash, I

888
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: thought to myself, if I sold TVs for a living,

889
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: on every TV screen in my store, I would be

890
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: playing Avatar Fire and Nash because I have to imagine

891
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: this is the way you sell a TV. Look at

892
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: all these color changes, look at all this motion. I

893
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: could imagine going to somebody's house who has a lot

894
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: of money, has a really big TV, and they wanted

895
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: to show off to me their old, huge sound system

896
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: to show me how much money they paying for their TV.

897
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: They are going to have a field day with these movies,

898
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: which is all really great, But then you have to think,

899
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: I wonder how James Cameron feels when somebody is inevitably

900
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: just going to watch this on like a TikTok stream

901
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: or something. Does that throw all of it work just

902
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: out the window? I think, I just have to hold

903
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: this movie to an entirely different standard, with it being

904
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: one of the most expensive movies ever made and it

905
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: not living up to my expectations from one or two.

906
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: For Avatar, Fire and Ash, I give it three point

907
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: five out of five fire arrows. It's time to head

908
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: down to movie Mike Trey Lar Paul. Two actors who

909
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: I do not get tired of, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson,

910
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: and both of them have a massive twenty twenty six

911
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: I think could be a banner year for Zendia maybe

912
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: for Robert Pattinson too. They're gonna be in a new

913
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: A twenty four movie coming out next year called The Drama.

914
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 1: They play a couple who just got engaged, all geared

915
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: up for their marriage to have this big wedding, and

916
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: then one of them finds out a dark secret about

917
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: the other and it throws their life into chaos. It

918
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: is being de described as a romantic comedy, but I

919
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: tell you, after watching this trailer, I don't feel romantic

920
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: comedy vibes at all, maybe just a little bit, because

921
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 1: it is about love to people who seemingly love each other,

922
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: even though in this trailer there is a lot of tension.

923
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: They're getting their pictures taken and the couple is having

924
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: a real hard time connected with each other. The photographer

925
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: is trying to get them to appear as if they

926
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: love each other, and there is something hiding underneath, and

927
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: you have to assume when this trailer takes place, when

928
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: this photo shoot takes place, one of them already knows

929
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: the secret about the other because they're acting weird. They

930
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 1: do not look like they are in love. So by

931
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: my feel of this trailer doesn't feel like your traditional

932
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: romantic comedy, which I think that genre has shifted a

933
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: little bit where people associate some of the best romantic

934
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,959
Speaker 1: comedies with those of the two thousands, where I feel

935
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: they were the best. You're Matthew mcconaugheyes, all that era

936
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: of romantic comedies. I feel they have a vall a

937
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: little bit because I don't think people want a traditional

938
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 1: comedy anymore. So you have to give something a little

939
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: bit more that you can chew on as the viewer.

940
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: While the love is at the forefront of this movie,

941
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: it is all the scenes that cuts to in between

942
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: that I think is going to give this movie a

943
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: totally different feeling, like there's something going on. Did somebody

944
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: murder somebody? I want to know, but it's called the drama.

945
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: Before I get into more, And also about all the

946
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: big movies that both Zendaiya and Robert Patinson have coming

947
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: up next year. Here is just a little bit of

948
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: the drama trailer.

949
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 2: Am I sent some some nerves, a little camera shy.

950
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 3: Let's do a little warm up so we're feeling repped

951
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 3: up and comfortable for your wedding day.

952
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: Hi, Charlie, move a little closer to your bride to be.

953
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 2: What's your favorite thing about amma?

954
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: She's beautiful, funny, this is straight serious, and she has.

955
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 2: The best law. Okay, good, good, Amma. I love that

956
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 2: he's carrying understanding, open mind.

957
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: Burgh. That's good okay. So hold on to those thoughts

958
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: to smile naturally how you would smile in life. So

959
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: you see them having this photo shoot later, it looks

960
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: like they are fighting with each other. You hear somebody

961
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: get slapped there in the trailer, and it looks like

962
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: the most chaotic moment of this movie is gonna come

963
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: in the third act when they actually get married. Just

964
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: by my understanding of this trailer and what the movie

965
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: is about, it looks like it's all gonna build up

966
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: and you're gonna wonder, at least I hope you are

967
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: wondering as the viewer, are they gonna get married? Are

968
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: they going to call it off? But you do see

969
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: them finally at what appears to be the ceremony at

970
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: the end. At one point, Robert Pattinson is covered in blood,

971
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: So is somebody gonna get in a fight? I kind

972
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: of hope she figures out he's some psycho killer and

973
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: then she's worried about the well being of her life.

974
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: Maybe she's gonna be his next victim. But I have

975
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 1: to imagine it's gonna be something a little bit more like,

976
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: tell me this about yourself, and now I'm questioning everything.

977
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: I do think they look good together as a couple.

978
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: Oddly enough, this is coming after me seeing Don My Love,

979
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: which was almost a similar situation between Robert Pattinson and

980
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence, where they were in a very toxic relationship

981
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: they were married with the kid. That one was a

982
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: little bit more of a fantasy. I feel like this

983
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: one is gonna be a lot more grounded in reality.

984
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: But I think as a couple they make sense. To me.

985
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: They look good together. They have Robert Pattinson in these

986
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: very nerding glasses, so you have mj over here from

987
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: Spider Man dating a nerdy version of Bruce Wayne. But

988
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: I think it works. I think it is believable and

989
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: I think them too on screen together is something I

990
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting in a romantic comedy like this. And if

991
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: you look at all the movies they have coming out

992
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six could be a banner year for Zendeya.

993
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: She has The Drama which this movie is coming out

994
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: on April third. She is also going to be in

995
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which my hype is starting to

996
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: build for that movie. Whenever I heard Christopher Nolan was

997
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: doing The Odyssey and I saw the first glimpse of

998
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 1: the trailer look kind of boring to me, I thought,

999
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: how are you gonna make that story interesting? But as

1000
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: I see more and more photos from the set, more posters,

1001
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: more of that starts to roll out, and I'm starting

1002
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: to get a little bit more excited about that one

1003
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: big mythic adventure. She is also going to be in

1004
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: Spider Man Brand New Day, which I cannot wait for that.

1005
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: I think some of the footage linked online, I don't

1006
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,959
Speaker 1: want to see any of that. I don't want any

1007
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: of that ruin. I don't want to see it until

1008
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: it's the full trailer in all of its glory, because

1009
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: to me, that is going to be really exciting. She

1010
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: is also going to be in Dune Part three. That

1011
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: is three massive movies. Well, maybe the drama is not

1012
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: a massive movie, but it's still a noteworthy a twenty

1013
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: four movie, but two of the biggest movies of the

1014
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: year she is going to be in. But then she

1015
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: is going to be in one of the biggest TV

1016
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: events that I thought would never happen, Euphoria Season three.

1017
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: That is an amazing run in twenty twenty six. Erzendaya,

1018
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: I have to imagine she is so in demand, has

1019
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: a crazy filming schedule to get all these in within

1020
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: probably two to three years. That is wild. But then

1021
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: you look at Robert Pattinson. He's also going to be

1022
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: in The Odyssey. He is also going to be in

1023
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: Dune Part three, and he is also going to be

1024
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: in the Drama. Hopefully he is working in there filming

1025
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: for The Batman two, which that script is freshly done.

1026
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully that movie ends up being made before he just

1027
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do it anymore or maybe gets aged

1028
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: out of the role. So both of these actors are

1029
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: two people who I feel have had different waves in

1030
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 1: their career. Where Robert Pattinson obviously was known for Twilight,

1031
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: and I think it took people a really long time

1032
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: to not see him as that up to all the

1033
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: way when he did The Batman that I still saw

1034
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 1: people saying, I can't watch The Batman because I can

1035
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: only see him as Edward Colin. But he has done

1036
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 1: so many fantastic movies that I don't even associate him

1037
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: with those movies anymore. And I saw Twilight when it

1038
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: came out in theaters for the first time back in

1039
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, and I have greatly shifted from

1040
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: his performances in movies like The Lighthouse and Tenant in

1041
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: Good Time, in The Batman, obviously, in Mickey seventeen, so

1042
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: many things where he has taken these big risks. He

1043
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: has an amazing skill set as an actor, a fantastic range,

1044
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: I would say at his level, has one of the

1045
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 1: best ranges in Hollywood. And on the other end, Zendaya,

1046
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: I feel the exact same way about which if you

1047
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: look at all those projects she is a part of

1048
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: next year, they are all vastly different. Whether it's on

1049
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: the small screen, which he started out as a Disney

1050
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: kid and then evolved with with her major role in

1051
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: the MCU and is now doing movies like Challengers. The

1052
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: drama can really do it all at a major scale,

1053
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: and for anybody working right now. I feel like she

1054
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: still has that classic Hollywood aura where she's not online

1055
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: a whole lot. I don't really know a whole lot

1056
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: about her personal life. I know she is engaged to

1057
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: Tom Holland, but they're not super public. You don't see

1058
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 1: them posting tiktoks together. You'll get the occasional set photo.

1059
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 1: But I feel like she has that old school Hollywood

1060
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: star energy because she is still so mysterious. She really

1061
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: only comes out for award shows or fashion events, and

1062
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: I think some of that is a little bit important

1063
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: now when it comes to wanting people to go to

1064
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 1: the theater to pay to see you. If you see

1065
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: some of these people all the time online. They're posting

1066
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: every day every update going on in their life, and

1067
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: you see it, you see them on podcasts, it's not

1068
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: as much of an event to go pay money to

1069
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: see them in theaters. When it comes to Zenday Up,

1070
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: if you want to see her, you have to go

1071
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,919
Speaker 1: in theaters to see her. When it comes to the Rock,

1072
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: which completely just throwing him out there, you will see

1073
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 1: him all the time on the internet. Why are you

1074
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: gonna go see him in the Smashing Machine? So I

1075
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: think there is a little bit something there when it

1076
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: comes to these actors. Keep them hidden just a little bit,

1077
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: make their appearance noteworthy. I think that does play into

1078
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: the box office and seeing them together in this trailer,

1079
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: I love the rawness of it. I feel like we're

1080
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 1: really gonna get a great grasp on just their down

1081
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: to the bone acting skills, and I think both of

1082
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: them together is gonna make for an incredible ride. I

1083
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: really want to know why Robert Pattinson ends up so

1084
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: bloody and if they actually end up getting married. It

1085
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 1: is coming to us from director Christopher Borglee, who also

1086
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: directed Dream Scenario with Nick Cage, which was a movie

1087
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people told me they did not like,

1088
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: and I had to go watch it for myself. I

1089
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 1: wasn't able to catch it in theaters, but as soon

1090
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: as it went on streaming, I watched it and I

1091
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: still really enjoyed it. I think I would have loved

1092
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 1: it even more if people didn't tell me how bad

1093
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: it was. But it does kind of give me an

1094
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: idea of Christopher Borgli's mind. So I think this isn't

1095
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: going to be what everybody is expecting it to, especially

1096
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: if you are a fan of Robert Pattinson and Zendia's

1097
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: other work. His movies do blend a lot of things

1098
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: that are surreal. They are dark comedies, so I even

1099
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 1: feel that them billing this as a romantic comedy is

1100
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: going to give people a much different expectation. But I

1101
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: know going into it, I am going to see something

1102
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: probably delivered in a way that I haven't before, and

1103
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: that is taking a risk, that is swinging for the fences.

1104
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: You could have a home run with this, or it

1105
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 1: could be another case of putting two A list actors

1106
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 1: together and striking out. But again, this movie is coming

1107
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: out next year. On April twenty twenty six, said that

1108
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: for was this week's edition of movie by tram or

1109
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: Bar and that is gonna do it for another episode

1110
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: here of the podcast. But before I go, I gotta

1111
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: get my listeners shout out of the week this week,

1112
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm going over to my YouTube channel, which is YouTube

1113
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: dot com slash Mike Distro a comment for my last

1114
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: movie review, which I broke down five nights at Freddy's two.

1115
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: Not only did I break down the movie. I also

1116
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: broke down myself, and surprisingly, not a whole lot of

1117
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: the young audience that really jumped on me last time

1118
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: returned to bash me for this one. I think for

1119
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: the most part, we all agreed that Five Nights at

1120
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: Freddy's two was not a great movie. But Robert on

1121
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,919
Speaker 1: YouTube said, thank you for saving me from seeing this movie.

1122
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: With so many movies being released, your reviews helped me

1123
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: eliminate those not worthy. Appreciate you watching on YouTube, Robert,

1124
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: And that is what I tried to do. And I

1125
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 1: also try not to rip a movie to shreds without

1126
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: telling you who would be a fan of this movie.

1127
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: If I don't like a movie, I usually try to

1128
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: identify who this movie could have been for. Sometimes I

1129
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: know that some things are just not made for me.

1130
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: It was never, no matter how good it was, going

1131
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: to connect with me as a person. I think also,

1132
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 1: if you listen to this podcast, you know a little

1133
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: bit of my sensibilities and what I like and what

1134
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 1: I don't like. So I always try to be upfront

1135
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: with you if I don't like it, but also if

1136
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: you like maybe this other director or this type of actor,

1137
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: why you still might enjoy said film. That I'm reviewing

1138
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: that week. But when it comes to five nights at

1139
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: Freddy's two, unless you are a diehard fan of that

1140
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: video game, I don't really think you are going to

1141
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: find much. They're still rooting for Josh Hutcherson, but I

1142
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: appreciate that, Robert. I'm always trying to save you guys

1143
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of money, at least from going to

1144
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: see the not so great movies in theaters and then

1145
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,240
Speaker 1: maybe giving them a shot whenever they come to streaming.

1146
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: So she ate that next week I'll do my top

1147
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: five interviews of twenty twenty five, and then later in

1148
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: the week, on Kelsey's birthday, actually, we'll do a special

1149
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: episode where she breaks down her top ten books. Switch

1150
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: to formats and we'll do her top ten books of

1151
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. So thank you for listening, and until

1152
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: next time, go out and watch good movies and I

1153
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: will talk to you later
