Paddington won twenty fourteen surprise hit, 19 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: should we say the surprise hit of twenty fourteen definitely, 20 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: with a wonderful cast including Hugh Bonville, Sally Hawkins as 21 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: Mary Brown, not returning for the third movie, Sadly, Sadly, Sadly, 22 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: Jim BROADBN Slate. Michael Gambona is the voice of Uncle 23 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: Pastouoso and of course the voice of Paddington, the wonderful, comforting, 24 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: soft as a blanket voice of Ben Wishaw, who I 25 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: think this way, he might be more famous for this 26 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: than anything that he's ever done, would you say. 27 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: So, Q? 28 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 3: Maybe? Q maybe. 29 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: But it's also extremely funny because we also recently were 30 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: just talking about Black Doves, where he's like a really 31 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: sassy up front, like. 32 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 3: Very explicitly adult murderer. 33 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. And there was a great present of you where 34 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: I think Kiera Knightley didn't know he was Paddington and 35 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: that was just hilarious. But yes, this is likely his 36 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: most famous casting. And also I would say wonderful casting 37 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: because this is like a Ben Schwartz as sonic kind 38 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: of level where you just feel like they understood what 39 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: they were doing. 40 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: He brings like a level of emotion to the line 41 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: readings that the innocence that Paddington has, but also at 42 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: the right moments, like a sadness that's just fucking devastating. Like, yeah, 43 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: the character design is so good, and I think part 44 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: of what makes these movies so good is they know, okay, 45 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: we really need to take up the emotional steaks up 46 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: a notch. Let's just do a close up of Paddington's face. 47 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, and also the same if he's going to 48 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 2: get into like crazy trouble, because a lot of these 49 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: movies are like, it's Paddington and he doesn't know how 50 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: a bath works. Might sound very silly, but I do 51 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 2: think that combination of kind of broad physical comedy, emotional 52 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 2: heart and just like an absolute murderous row of fantastic 53 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: British actors really do make these incredibly incredibly unique. 54 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: Okay, So we open in the Jungles the Darkest Peru, 55 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: where an explorer from London encounters this family of intelligent bears. 56 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: These explorers have been going all around the world and 57 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: like categorizing animals and taking samples back, and he finds 58 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: these bears to be absolutely fascinating. So he teaches them 59 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: about England and Britain and the culture there, and tells 60 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: them a bunch of fanciful facts about him. 61 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: He is a bit of a colonizer, his energy is 62 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: like he's going spreading. He's not only going there as 63 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: an anthropologist, which we all know is a dangerous thing 64 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: to come to your country, but also he is telling 65 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: fanciful stories like this is not a true representation of London. 66 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: Clearly believing that these bears will never make their way 67 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: to London. So you could kind of like spin a 68 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: yarn that said, this is also the listen. This is 69 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: Paddington is expressly a story about colonization and I think 70 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: immigration kind of like framing it in the in the 71 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: most positive way in that, you know, the ultimate messages 72 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: just because people are different, don't judge them for that, 73 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: take them as they are, and in fact they might 74 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: you might find that their presence here in your world 75 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: is actually incredibly beneficial in ways that you could never imagine. 76 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: That's It's also a story about how there are unexpected 77 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: consequences to colonizing a place and repercussions that one could 78 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: never understand, and one of them is these these bears 79 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: become fascinated with England, and then an earthquake strikes, sadly 80 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: devastating the home of the bears, forcing the At this point, 81 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: probably like ninety five year old ninety six year old 82 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: and Lucy to send her a young nephew, Paddington to 83 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: London because there everyone gets a home. It's gonna be fine. 84 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: Everybody gets a home and all you need is you 85 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: just need a mamalade sandwich, which the Explorer also introduced. 86 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 2: And currently the bad does not have a name, but 87 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: we know that he's Paddington because Michael Bond has been 88 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: telling these stories for many years. 89 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: Many many years, since the forties and the fifties. Yeah, 90 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: so here. So Paddington arrives at Paddington Station, which from 91 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: which he will soon get his name, with a note 92 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: around his next saying please look after this bear. You know, 93 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: people just kind of ignore this very startling site, which 94 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: I which is shy them up, which is kind of 95 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: the charm of Paddington is like, oh okay, that's normal. 96 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: That's a very normal thing to see. 97 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: It's that mentality of like the New Yorkers who like 98 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: wouldn't look twice at the Avengers. It's like that, but 99 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 2: it's London. It's like everyone's just it's rush hour Paddington station. 100 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 2: Everyone just wants to go. They seem to think he's 101 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: some kind of street performer. They're just not interested. However, 102 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 2: a certain family comes along and that changes all the Browns. 103 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: Yes, so there is mister Brown dad, played wonderfully by 104 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: Hugh bon Phil of Doubton Abbey, and it's the agency fame. 105 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: He is, you know, don't talk to that bear, what 106 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: does he want? He'll be fine, don't worry about him. 107 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: Feels funny. He's might be dangerous, you know, he might 108 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: be dangerous. And his wife, Missus Brown, is like, no, 109 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: but this is so sad, and she reads the note. 110 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: It's like we must do something. He's like, no, no, no, 111 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: don't worry. So eventually she convinces him to take Paddington 112 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: to their home where Paddington, you know, struggles with being 113 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: in a urban home environment. A upper middle class, what 114 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: would say, even wealthy. Here's the thing about a fantastical 115 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: version love. This is a rich fucking family. 116 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: You can even imagine First of all, where they they 117 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: say they live in notting Hill, right, that's like where 118 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: this is kind of set in general, and they do 119 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: a great job of kind of representing the most eclectic 120 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: and eccentric parts of London. 121 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean this is like a ten million 122 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 3: dollar house. They live in. 123 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like a t a million dollar house. 124 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: And the best thing is the mom is like an artist. 125 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: She's kind of like an illustrator for romance. 126 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: Novels, I think. 127 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: So the house is just painted in the most kind 128 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: of cozy, outrageous like flowers on the wall, and I 129 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 2: do think that part of the appeal of this franchise 130 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: is just how gorgeously kind of comforting. 131 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 3: The whole thing is Paddington doesn't have to deal with. 132 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: Much stress outside of like not knowing at this point, 133 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: not knowing like how to use a bath as we mentioned, 134 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: which is a very famous and hilarious scene. 135 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: I cut the iconic scene from Paddington. He's he's struggling 136 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: to use the bathtub. He overfills, it floods the bathroom, 137 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: the water bursts out of the door, and Paddington goes 138 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: to bogganing down the beautiful spiral staircase. Again, this is 139 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: a this is a looking beautiful sea house, beautiful home, 140 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: goes spiraling down the staircase in this bathtub with a 141 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: look of innocent surprise on its beautiful, cute little face. 142 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 2: And somehow he doesn't get kicked out, Like that's the. 143 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: Power sorry about the bathroom. I'm so sorry, I'm so 144 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: sorry about the flood, and he's so anomalate sandwich. 145 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: He does a really good I think one of my 146 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 2: favorite things about that scene is it's like. 147 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: A Rube Goldberg machine. 148 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 2: It's like he complishes teeth and then he falls down 149 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: here and then and it becomes this kind of hilarious situation. 150 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: And obviously mister Brown is understandably skeptical about keeping the 151 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 2: bat in the house. 152 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: So Paddington's mission becomes locating the explorer who came to 153 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: visit them, whose hat he wears, and who he hopes 154 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: might have some sort of answers about a permanent place 155 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: where he can live forever, a home for himself that 156 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: he might find, and the Browns help him with this, 157 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: although mister Brown somewhat disgruntily, but the kids Jonathan Judy 158 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: do it with much more alacrity. Meanwhile, Paddington's arrival in 159 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: London has not gone unnoticed, notably by Millicent, who is 160 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: the villain of the story. She is a taxidermist. She 161 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: loves stuffing animals and people. Maybe we need to find 162 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: it out later, potentially if they get it away and 163 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: it really bothers her that years ago her ancestor returned 164 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: from the the deepest, darkest jungles of Peru without a specimen, 165 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: and she would like to rectify that situation by capturing Paddington, 166 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: killing him and stuffing him, which is horrendous, yes. 167 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 2: Very mean. Paddington is delightful and also I want to say, guys, 168 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 2: Melicin is played by none other than Nicole Kidman, and 169 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: what I would say is one of the kind of 170 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: turning point weird roles of catapulted her to where we 171 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: get baby girl Like this is such an over the top, 172 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 2: fantastic kind of Bond villain role for her, and she's 173 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: so much fun in it. 174 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: She is wonderful in it. So Paddington finds out that 175 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: the explorer is Montgomery Clyde and that he was shunned 176 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: by the Explorers group that he was a part of 177 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: because this group of very upright and fancy looters that 178 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: went around the world just kind of marauding and looting 179 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: and grabbing things. Bringing him back to jolly ol England 180 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: when he ran into these bears, you know, they were civilized, 181 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: they spoke, they were clearly intelligent and sent me in 182 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: beings they are wonderful. We just like to hang out 183 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: and beat marmalade and to waylay one and put it 184 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: in a cage and drag it back to England. That 185 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: seemed frankly to be barbaric. However, the scientific community of 186 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: his day, or like one, talking bears, get the fight. 187 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: We don't believe this. This is ridiculous, like what you're 188 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: talking about. And two, you know the rules. You got 189 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: to bring back the specimen. Where's the specimen? And so 190 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: they shun him. Paddington reaches a low moment, feeling like 191 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: he's causing so much trouble for the Browns and their 192 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: home and all this trouble with the Finding Explorer and 193 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: destroying their ten million dollar home with two or three 194 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: million dollars worth of water damage, amongst many other things 195 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: that have occurred, and he feels like, Okay, I'm going 196 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: to go out on my own. I'm going to go 197 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: look for the explore Montgomery Clyde on my own, and 198 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to leave the Browns behind. He leaves them 199 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: a very heartfelt note that tugs at the heartstrings. The kids, 200 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 1: Missus Brown are absolutely fucking devastated at this. Mister Brown 201 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: is like well, okay, there's a big he's a bear 202 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: from the jungle, like, you'll, don't worry about it. 203 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 3: I've spent a. 204 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: Lot of time trying to figure out how exactly long 205 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: Paddington was on his own, and I think it was 206 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: a while. 207 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: I really was quite a while. Yeah, from from the 208 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 3: way the movie is for sure. 209 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: Because there's a month. There's an entire montage in which 210 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: you see all the addresses and places that Paddington found, 211 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: you know, from the phone book of listenings from Montgomery Clyde, 212 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: and he crosses them all out, and there's you know, 213 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: maybe a dozen or so or a little less than 214 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: a dozen something around there. And let's say he did 215 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: like one a night or one every couple of nights. 216 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: That's all of a sudden, he's out there a week 217 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: and a half, two weeks on his own, living by 218 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: his wits in the alleyways and the streets. It made 219 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: me very, very sad. This is a movie where watching it, 220 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: I could tell that when I was a kid, I 221 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: would have needed a parent figure to lean over to 222 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: me and be like, it's gonna don't worry about yeah, 223 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be okay, Because I would have been very 224 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: troubled at the idea that Paddington was just like out 225 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: on the streets for weeks. M Well, the Browns now 226 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: find that though their house is severely damaged, it's also 227 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: less lively without Patton. 228 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 2: Because you don't have a talking bear in your house anymore. 229 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: That's magical. 230 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, guys. 231 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: There's something of the light has gone out of the 232 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: home somehow, and so they decide we must find Paddington, 233 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: who has by this time fallen into the clutches of 234 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: milicit who again plans to stuff and there's a wonderful 235 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: adventure sequence. They find her in the Natural History Museum. Paddington, 236 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: who is quite naive and innocent at times, but he's 237 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: also quite He's a survivor, and he's very very He 238 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: manages to escape and they ultimately defeat of Millicent, who 239 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: is arrested for her crime. She only gets community service, 240 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: which is fine. I guess you know what. She didn't 241 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: threaten to kill the Browns and Paddington. 242 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 2: But I will say this, but you know I will 243 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 2: say this is this does start a thread that will 244 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 2: continue to the second movie of these films, being like 245 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: relatively interesting when it comes to the idea of crime 246 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: and punishment. 247 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: Prison reform, Paddington, Yes, the prison Passington. So the end 248 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: of this, oh I should add that there is in 249 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: the confrontation scene, as we're kind of ramping up to 250 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: the final exciting sequence after which Milicent will be defeated, 251 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: mister Brown gives an incredible speech that he ya fucking 252 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: sells all the way about. And the speech is really 253 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: ultimately the message of the film, because I think part 254 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: of part of what's so great about Paddington is it's 255 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: basically about an Englishman who doesn't like people or beings 256 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:09,359 Speaker 1: from other places coming to England and living and ultimately 257 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: mister Brown decides, you know what, that's not true. Paddington 258 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: is a bear, but he's part of this family and 259 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: I love him and he has added so much to 260 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: our lives even though he's different. And he gives this 261 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: wonderful speech about that and how they're going to defend Paddington. 262 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: And so the end of the movie is a wonderful, 263 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: like three four minute sequence that plays out very much 264 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: is shot very much like a book in which Paddington 265 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: has found his home, his his forever home really with 266 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: the Browns, and there he is in the kitchen cooking 267 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: up marmalade, Missus Brown wonderfully. He's like, what are you doing? Padding? 268 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: What's cooking Paddington? What do you think? It's fucking marmalade? 269 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: What the fuck do you think it's all I eat? 270 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 3: Is Marvela's marmalay? 271 00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: Oh. 272 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 3: Actually, also perfect time to bring up the fact that. 273 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 2: In that very same Karen Knightley interview where he revealed 274 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: he was Paddington, then, as Aaron pointed out, ben wishe 275 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: Olster revealed he doesn't like mamalade. It's just to yourself, babe. 276 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: It's very sweet. And at the end of that close 277 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: Paddington writes to his beloved aunt Lucy, telling her that 278 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: while London is very different from Peru, he's getting the 279 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: hang of it now and he feels like he has 280 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: a place and it's wonderful and let's talk for a 281 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: little bit about what we say. I think this movie 282 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: is one of the great children's movies of our time. 283 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: I agree, And it's just so special, like it hits 284 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: all the notes that you need from a kid's film. 285 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: It works for adults on various levels because of the 286 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: deeper messaging, the fact that the Paddington series is one 287 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: hundred years old, almost one hundred years old at this point, 288 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: so it's got generations of fans. And for kids, it's emotional, 289 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: deeply emotional, but it's not too intense. They are always 290 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: these moments where they return to Paddington's faces if to 291 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: tell you it's gonna be fine, like they always do, 292 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: like a thing, Yeah, first kind of scary thing where 293 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't get too scary and you realize by the 294 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: way they shoot Paddington it's gonna be okay. 295 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 296 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: It's feel very emotionally like intense, and also you feel 297 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: it deeply. 298 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 2: I think that something that makes these movies really stand 299 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 2: out is if we think about the way that kids 300 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 2: films and TV. I almost said content. I'm trying to 301 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 2: train myself out of that word. But like the way 302 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: that people make entertainment for kids. There has always been nuance, 303 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 2: fantastic entertainment for kids. But when we think about a 304 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 2: contemporary reboot of an existing character, because there's already Paddington books, 305 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 2: Paddington animated series, all that kind of stuff, we think 306 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 2: about something like. 307 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 3: The Garfield movie with Chris Pratt. 308 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 2: That like nobody really watched and it changed everything about Garfield. 309 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 3: He's no longer lazy. He doesn't like Lazanne. Now he's 310 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 3: like a street smart cat, you know whatever. 311 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 2: But like I think a lot of people were surprised 312 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 2: because this movie kind of came out of nowhere and 313 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 2: it had a wit and a charm and a world. 314 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 3: That you wanted to live in. 315 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 2: And like you said, the way they shoot Paddington makes 316 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 2: you feel like he's really there, that the Assing team 317 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 2: are unbelievable. You never ever question anything that you're seeing 318 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 2: on screen. I would say this is the way they utilize. 319 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 3: And immerse you in the world. 320 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: Means there's not even really a suspension of disbelief. You 321 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 2: just feel like Paddington is a real character. 322 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 3: Then you want to meet him. 323 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: He's great, he's there, wonderful. 324 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 2: And I do think this this movie went relatively under 325 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 2: the radar. It was it was a quiet film. It 326 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 2: was a quiet film, but it was pretty successful. There 327 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 2: was a lot of nominations in England. It won Best 328 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: Comedy Film at the Empire Awards. If you're a film lover, 329 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: you probably know Empire Magazine. The Bafter Children's Awards, it 330 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 2: won Best Feature Film and it was kind of but 331 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 2: still it was like it made its money back, made 332 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 2: enough that there would be a sequel. But it was 333 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 2: not necessarily a cultural phenomenon. It was more something that 334 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 2: you discovered. I discovered it when I moved here actually, 335 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 2: which was like two years after. 336 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 3: It came out. 337 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: Same I discovered it about a year later when it 338 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: was when people why trust it would be like, it 339 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: is really good, that's. 340 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,239 Speaker 3: Really good, Like you gotta watch this. This is like 341 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 3: some cozy vibe, you know what. It definitely I think 342 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 3: that it was. 343 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 2: It was an entertainment weekly where they basically compared it 344 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 2: to like a Muppets movie, but in the style of 345 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 2: Where's Anderson? 346 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 3: And I loved that much. I was very mad cap, 347 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 3: very charming. 348 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 2: It's an ensemble piece, and it was just a delightful movie. 349 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 3: I am a big fan of it. I was very 350 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 3: happy when. 351 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 2: We started talking about these movies because we're covering them 352 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 2: in the lead up to the third one, which comes 353 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: out in America on Valentine's. 354 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 3: And it did it exactly. 355 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: He's back and he's imparing baby. 356 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 2: I think it's very unique to find someone else and 357 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 2: this just goes along with our eternal gift and struggle 358 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 2: that we agree. 359 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 3: With everything about everything together. 360 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: But yes, it's actually very bad to find someone who 361 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 2: thinks this movie is better. I do love this movie, 362 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 2: and I do think it is the better movie. But 363 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: Paddington Too was a cultural phenomenon.

The Browns, of course, are fantastically rich, 428 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: although mister Brown got passed over for a recent promotion 429 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: which has caused a midlife crisis of so he's taking yoga, 430 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: he's taking all which will come in handy later. And 431 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: so nobody's like gonna give Paddington some cash, even though 432 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: come on, mister Brown, like give it. I get that 433 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 1: he should work, and that's fine. So he goes out 434 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: and he does some odd jobs and it's, you know, 435 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: trademark Paddington mad Cap Adventures and sue as he does 436 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: the jobs in that kind of slapstick way. 437 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Boba gag, The Bobba gag is always gags 438 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 2: in This definitely feels like a direct reference to one 439 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 2: of my favorite Marx Brothers gags, which is there cutting 440 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 2: they're doing barbering on a cruise ship when the powber 441 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 2: is asleep or something. But there's definitely some really good 442 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 2: nods to classic comedy here. Obviously, window cleaner never a 443 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 2: good job if you're a clumsy person like me and Paddington. 444 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 2: I could have told them that. But yeah, so so 445 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 2: funny and those are you really get those big broad 446 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 2: comedy moments early, because this film is definitely more concerned 447 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 2: with kind of making an emotional and moral point as 448 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: it continues on. 449 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: Absolutely, so, Paddington is quite close to being able to 450 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: purchase this book when it is stolen in the night 451 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: by a thief who is dressed in a quite a 452 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: unique manner. And he's got a long beard and kind 453 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: of like a sloppy hat, not dissimilar to Paddington's hat, 454 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: and he's wearing this long kind of like fisherman's overcoat, 455 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: and he steals the the book. Paddington gets a good 456 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: look at him, but is not able to catch the guy. Unfortunately, 457 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: nobody believes Paddington. The Browns believe him, but nobody else 458 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,479 Speaker 1: believes him when he tries to raise this story and 459 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: there's you know, there's paw prints everywhere around the store 460 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: and marmalade tracks and uh uh it really was the thief, 461 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: that's right, But it really looks like Paddington did this, 462 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: and so he gets ten years in prison. 463 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 3: Watches Fuck, come on, I'm saying. 464 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 2: This is very this is very prescient to the weld 465 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 2: right now, Like they gave this baby ten years for 466 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 2: accusing him of the prison, an adult prison, of stealing 467 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 2: a simple pop up book and guessing there is no evidence, 468 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 2: there's no evidence.

There is a whole trade and community 537 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 2: of working actors in London who are always the secondary 538 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 2: person in off you know, not Broadway but Off Chance. 539 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 3: Rey Lay and Show or whatever like that. Always working. 540 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 2: They're always doing bit parts in movies, but they never 541 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: make it, and they hang around these arts clubs and 542 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 2: arts bars and kind of bitterly chew on the fact 543 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 2: that they are not the biggest name. 544 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 3: And this is such a fun specific role. 545 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 2: And I'm sure that Hugh Grant has met many people 546 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: like Phoenix throughout his life, and they get to have 547 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 2: a lot of fun with costumes. 548 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: Here's a lot of fun swimming it up. There's a 549 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: wonderful sequence in which mister and Missus brown sneak into 550 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: his home. They break in under using a ruse, a 551 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: wonderful ruse in which the kids tape a conversation with 552 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: an agent with Phoenix's agent and then using two tape recorders, 553 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: cut up the conversation so that it seems like mister 554 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: Buchanan has an opportunity to maybe be in a in 555 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: a stage play and a passion of stage play if 556 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: he will meet this producer for lunch. So he rushes 557 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: out of the house. Mister and mister brown sneak into 558 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:07,479 Speaker 1: the house where they find his layer of disguises, and 559 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: there are all the disguises that he's been using, the nun, 560 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: the thief, etc. 561 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 3: The resputes in Beard. 562 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: So the Browns, of course have been visiting Paddington regularly, 563 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: every visiting time they are there, and Paddington has come 564 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: to depend on these emotionally. And when he learns that 565 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: the Browns have zeroed in on Buchanan, Paddington suddenly allows 566 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: his head to get turned by a scheme of escape 567 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: that has been masterminded by Knuckles and the others. And 568 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: they lay it on Thick too, and they're like, well, listen, 569 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: when you're out, you'll be able to prove your innocence, 570 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: and we will help you with that when we get 571 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: when we all get out, prisoner's got to stick together. 572 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: And when we get out, you know, our number one 573 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: thing is not going to be fleeing the country or 574 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: escaping or evading the authorities. It's going to be proving 575 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: that our friend Paddington, who showed us the importance of marmalade, 576 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: is innocent them. I believe them too. So the Browns 577 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: follow you can to a steam train. There's very mission 578 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: impossible as the mission impossible style ending. Paddington has escaped, 579 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: but is immediately betrayed by Knuckles and the gang. We 580 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: just leave him, no very very sad moment. Paddington goes 581 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: by himself to the train, and the Browns and Paddington 582 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: kind of independently are closing in on Buchanan. There's an 583 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: incredible act. I mean, this is like a long twenty 584 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: minute action sequence of ups and downs and chases. 585 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 3: There's a carnival train that following. 586 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things happen. 587 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 3: They're on a real fat like a real train that 588 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 3: is like an L N. E. R. 589 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 2: Peppicorn closs a one which I feel like they had 590 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 2: to put in because the case loves tradings, so. 591 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 3: They were like, you better put a real train in 592 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 3: HI for the train spas. 593 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,240 Speaker 1: That's one of the things that I think is great 594 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: about Pattinson. Want to continue to be great about Paddington too. 595 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: Is This is gonna sound crazy, but a lot like 596 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: the of the Marvels the Avengers that has a huge cast. 597 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 1: Every character gets their little closed loop momkh So Jonathan 598 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: his love of trains is paid off when he takes 599 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: control of this steam engine train that he knows exactly 600 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 1: how to run. All throughout it, Judy has been using 601 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: her reportage skills to zero in on mister Buchanan and 602 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: mister Brown in a very Jackie chan esque sequence, uses 603 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: his newfound flexibility from his like the yoga classes, has 604 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: been taken to go into a full split between two 605 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: moving trains that allows him to like almost falling off 606 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: the train. It's delightful anyway. It all comes to a 607 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: head when Paddington, trapped in a train car, is nearly drowned. 608 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: Very very scary moments because Paddington is like unconscious. He 609 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: comes to in the hospital, but it's fine when he 610 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: wakes up. The Browns are like, guess what, You've been 611 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 1: cleared of all charges. 612 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 3: You're free. 613 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 2: And also you're free to go because your friends Knuckles, 614 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 2: Fibbs and Spoon actually did show up at the end 615 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 2: of the house, right they show you they've been Potton, baby, 616 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 2: they've been Pott and so it's all good. 617 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 3: Everything's good. 618 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: That is such, by the way, like a kid's book thing. 619 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: And I love that they just kept it, where in 620 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: an adult movie they'd be like, okay, now let's see 621 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: the courtroom scenes in which Paddington is cleared. Now they're 622 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: just like, yeah, nowhere met He's fine. 623 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 3: And friends then and Jay, But everything's okay. 624 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: So Paddington, though sadly does not have a present for 625 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,800 Speaker 1: Aunt Lucy's one hundredth birthday, but the Browns just surprised 626 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: him by bringing Aunt Lucy to London. And you get 627 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: this truly like tear tugging moment in which Paddington and 628 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: his less surviving relative embrace and it's beautiful and the 629 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 1: community is there. Everybody's everybody, And then. 630 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 2: You get this hilarious you know, you see that Knuckles 631 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 2: has started a sandwich restaurant which becomes incredibly successful. Love 632 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 2: that for him, and then in probably what will go 633 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 2: down for most kind of Hollywood folks as their resounding 634 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 2: memory of this movie is Buchanan sentenced to tenires in prison, 635 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 2: and within six months he has got the entire prison 636 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 2: doing elaborate musical numbers. 637 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: Including the kind of iconic trademark number from the Beetlejuice 638 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: film Rack Your Buddy in Time, Okay, I believe you, 639 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,720 Speaker 1: which I was very surprised to see in this film. 640 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: And Paddington Too. I love it one better because of 641 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: I think just the initial surprise at how much I 642 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: liked the movie. Immediately it'd be. 643 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 2: Like, yeah, me too, and that is an infinitely rewatchable 644 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 2: movie to me. I have rewatched this too, but yeah, 645 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 2: it's such a good movie. And then this was a 646 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 2: crazy kind of smash hit that took the franchise in 647 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 2: general to like over a two hundred million dollar box 648 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 2: office franchise, and you get these things. Paddington Too, named 649 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 2: one of the best movies of the twenty first century 650 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 2: by The Guardian. NBC's Grand Crew produced an entire episode 651 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 2: that was solely based around how Paddington two made the 652 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 2: male characters cry. And then probably the most famous and 653 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 2: mimable moment is in the Nick Cage Pedro Pascal Twohanda, 654 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 2: the unvariable Weight of Massive Talent. 655 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 3: There is a moment where the two of them are. 656 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 2: Together at this rich compound watching movies and they're talking 657 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 2: about their favorite movies, and the Pedro Pascal character is like, yeah, 658 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 2: I love the Cabinet of Doctor Caligari, I love Felini, 659 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 2: and my. 660 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 3: Third favorite movie is Paddington two, and Nick Cage is like, 661 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 3: shut up, like what's wrong with you? 662 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 2: And then you cut to them watching it and it's 663 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 2: the end and Nick Cage is crying talking about how 664 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 2: much he loves Paddington too and how it kind of 665 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 2: changed his mind. So the cultural impact of these movies 666 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 2: has really gone beyond the small children's audience in Britain 667 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 2: that I'm sure they were they were made for. 668 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: It's wonderful and that sets us up, of course, for 669 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: Paddington three, Paddington in Peru, which is coming out in 670 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: the States February fourteenth, Emily Mortimer now taking the role 671 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 1: as Mary Brown.

I 690 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: don't don't make him old, nobody wants to make we 691 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: don't want to see it all Paddington. But what are 692 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: some of your favorite anthropomorphic animal films? I love this one. 693 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this one. 694 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 2: Paddington is definitely up there for me. I am also 695 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 2: gonna I will say that I think for me it 696 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,800 Speaker 2: was such a huge deal when I was a kid 697 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 2: when I did first watch Stewart Little So I'm definitely 698 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 2: gonna add that one in there. That was calm and 699 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 2: super producer's pick. 700 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 3: But I think that was like me and my sister 701 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 3: watched that one a lot. 702 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,720 Speaker 2: I think when I really consider all the different movies 703 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 2: in this space, though, I do think Paddington is up 704 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 2: there at the top for me. 705 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 3: What about you? What what are the anthropomorphic or even 706 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 3: just like cute animal movies? 707 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 2: I feel like they always have that melancholic edge, you know, 708 00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 2: like a homeward bound. There's always something sad about the 709 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 2: ones we grew up with, and I think Paddington's quite 710 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 2: nice because they usually wrap up in that kid's book 711 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 2: type way. 712 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: Like you said, yeah, I love I really do love 713 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: that about Paddington. It's like, at every moment where you're like, oh, 714 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: this might be too scary. What if Paddingson legitimately dies 715 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: during this trade sequence, there's always various cues where it's 716 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: whether it's lighting or just the shots or something funny 717 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 1: will happen that that signals alright, it's gonna be okay. 718 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: And I agree with you a lot of the similar 719 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: movies that we grew up with didn't have that. So 720 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick one from my childhood that is looking bad. 721 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,400 Speaker 1: It was like much more intense than Paddington, but I 722 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: loved it. And The Secret of nim. 723 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 2: Yes, Rats, Oh, that movie is absolutely bonkers when you 724 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 2: rewatch it as an adult. It's actually really intense and 725 00:41:54,040 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 2: crazy and like kind of violent and nuts, but sci fi, 726 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 2: hardcore sci fi about the society of rats that have 727 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 2: that are very very smart and they are doing things that. 728 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil the mystery in case anybody needs. 729 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,240 Speaker 2: If you haven't watched it, definitely go and watch it. 730 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: It's a good one. Well any others. 731 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 2: You know what I'm gonna I'm gonna bring up one 732 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 2: that I did only really discover as an adult, which 733 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:35,439 Speaker 2: does definitely lean into the intense vibes, which is air Butt, 734 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 2: because you don't think a movie about a dog playing 735 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 2: basketball is gonna start with the death of someone's parent, 736 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 2: but it does, and they're like playing basketball. 737 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 3: By the graveyard like that one's really good. 738 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 2: Probably as a kid, my favorites were Babe and Babe 739 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 2: Pig in the City. Both of those incredible, incredible movies. 740 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: Those are probably two of the c to Paddington. I mean, 741 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: Babe Is is unbelievable. 742 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,799 Speaker 3: And Baby Pig in the City is actually terrifying. 743 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,280 Speaker 2: And that is, you know, people forget that that movie 744 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 2: was directed, you know, by no other than George Miller, 745 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 2: A mad Max Fame. 746 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: Big in the City, in Fame, the Wonderful Babe. 747 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 2: Babe Pig in the City is at the beginning, you 748 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 2: get that same crisis of like why does he need 749 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,760 Speaker 2: to leave? And it's because Babe accidentally knocks the farmer 750 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 2: down the well and breaks like all of his bones and. 751 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 3: Then he's like, Okay, I gotta leave. I gotta go 752 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,440 Speaker 3: to the I gotta go to the city man. But 753 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 3: it's very like Wizard of Oz. 754 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 2: It's very weird to see these worlds of like an 755 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,800 Speaker 2: human city but just inhabited only by like weird talking animals. 756 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 3: I don't know, there's something very strange. 757 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 2: About a talking animal movie that is usually deeply unsettling. 758 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,719 Speaker 2: But I do think that is what Paddington does so 759 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 2: well is instead they may make it an animal that 760 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,720 Speaker 2: you want to hang around with, You want to spend 761 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 2: time with him, you want to help him out, you 762 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,960 Speaker 2: want him to be in your house, and it doesn't 763 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 2: even raise a question like Stuart Little, which obviously the 764 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 2: Internet has a lot of fun with nowadays, which is like, 765 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,240 Speaker 2: imagine if you were in the orphanage and Stuart Little 766 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 2: was there a mouse or as I believe in the Cannon, 767 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 2: a boy who just looks like a tiny mouse, and 768 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,879 Speaker 2: then a family came and they were like, well, fuck 769 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,919 Speaker 2: all of you orphans who need a place to live, 770 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 2: I'm adopting this mouse. 771 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,080 Speaker 3: You know, that's like a wild setup for a movie. 772 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 2: Paddington doesn't have any of that, because, of course, if 773 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 2: you met a bear that was talking and wearing a 774 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 2: cute little red hat, you would just let him move 775 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 2: in with you, like there's no suspension of disbelief needed. 776 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to name drop what I think is maybe 777 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: the most the og anthromorphic animal story and perhaps still 778 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,839 Speaker 1: the most devastating Charlotte's Web bo. 779 00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:01,320 Speaker 3: Oh man, that's a killer. It's like you're gonna cry. 780 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 2: That is. 781 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 1: That will break you as a child, and film will 782 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: just absolutely reduce you to rubble. And indeed, to this day, 783 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: i'm it's still like if it's on or it's just 784 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 1: hard to watch the end. Although it ends on a 785 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:22,879 Speaker 1: hopeful note. 786 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,840 Speaker 3: It is still still though it's a really tough movie. 787 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: It's very, very tough. And I will say that for 788 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: those of you not seen a Patenton film, Paddington never 789 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,399 Speaker 1: goes to that.

So in these movies a 795 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 2: lot of times it's like, well, if you become friends 796 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 2: with an animal or something that has a shorter lifespan 797 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,840 Speaker 2: than you, than it probably is gonna die and you 798 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 2: have to deal with that because that's real life. Paddington's like, No, 799 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,800 Speaker 2: what if you were just like really chilled to anyone 800 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 2: and there were no borders and you just let people 801 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,919 Speaker 2: move into your house, and you'd let a cute bear 802 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,319 Speaker 2: move into your house and everything was good and the 803 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,399 Speaker 2: community comes together and supports each other.
