It's very Christmas. We did 8 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: take off the pumpkin way.

Thanks 21 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: everybody for listening to the podcast without any further ado, 22 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: let's get started the World War. Every one and their mother. 23 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: One man stands to infiltry years of listeners like never 24 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: before in a movie podcast. With so much movie knowledge, 25 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: he's basically like a walking audience tea with glasses from 26 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: the Podcast Network Movie Podcast. All right, so we're gonna 27 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: start it off. I want you to give your top 28 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: five Christmas movies. Now, these are one if you watch 29 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: every single year, right, and you love Christmas movies? I 30 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: love Christmas movies. About when do you think it's acceptable 31 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: to start watching a Christmas movie? Because we're just about 32 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: to get into December. When do you think you would 33 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: normally bust them out? I mean I put up our 34 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: Christmas trees on November one, so I think I was 35 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: like in the Christmas spirit by then November one. I 36 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: don't think there's also many roles anymore? Do whatever makes 37 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: you happy? Movies make me happy. I guess Lifetime started 38 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: playing them around October, which disclaimers there will be no 39 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: Lifetime or Hallmark movies on my list. Love those that 40 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: don't make the list. I don't think they make mine either. 41 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: I think we each either pick theatrical releases or streaming movies, 42 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: is what we did. All right, let's get into your list. 43 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,919 Speaker 1: Hit me with number five. Al right, my number five 44 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: top Christmas movie is nothing like The Holidays. It has 45 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: John Leguizambo and Deborah Messing and I just think it's 46 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: so cute. What when did you first watch this movie? Oh? 47 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: I think it came out in two thousand seven, two 48 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: thousand eight, so probably then. Okay, so yeah, I saw 49 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: it when it came out. What makes this one of 50 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: your favorites? I just like all of the family oriented 51 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: Christmas movies. I mean all of them have like semi 52 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: dysfunctional families, but I just think it captures like the 53 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: essence of like spending Christmas with your family. And I 54 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: guess when I was younger, I liked watching him because 55 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: it was people with like siblings and they all come 56 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: home for Christmas. And I my younger brother was born 57 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: when I was twelve, and so I was an only 58 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: child for so long that I was like, oh, I 59 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: just want like that family relationship. You made me watch 60 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: this one the other night I did. I will say 61 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: we have watched all we watched all these research and 62 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: going into this one, I thought it was going to 63 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: kind of be your typical Christmas movie, which I think 64 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: is why I don't love Christmas movies entirely, because they 65 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: kind of feel like they have that same cheesy formula. 66 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: It comes to the very kind of cheery ending at 67 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: at the very end. This one it was a little 68 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: more I don't want to say depressing, but it kind 69 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: of had like a lot of issues with the family 70 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: going on that was all like, how is this all 71 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: going to play out? It was real life and real 72 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: life doesn't stop for Christmas, and it was just them 73 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: figure out to navigate real life during the holidays. And 74 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: a rare scene for a Christmas movie, but there's a 75 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 1: scene where somebody pulls out a gun, which I wasn't expecting. 76 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: There is you did give a little gasp, but that Yeah. 77 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: But overall I thought this one it didn't feel so 78 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: much like like a cheesy Christmas movie and it had 79 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: some elements of being a normal movie. Would you say 80 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: this is a good movie, like aside from it being 81 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: a Christmas movie, because, let's say, because it stands at 82 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: like a Rotten Tomatoes score, Okay, but we've already addressed 83 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: before that I don't necessarily like things that Rotten Tomatoes 84 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: would consider, and I feel like that's kind of where 85 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: Christmas movies are. They usually have a lower rating. I 86 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: watch a movie to be entertained and to not have 87 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: to think for two hours. I feel like Rotten Tomatoes 88 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: will give something that you have to pay attention to 89 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: every second. I also have to pee all the time, 90 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: so if I go see a movie, I'm missing probably 91 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: like a solid five to seven minutes. I need to 92 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: be able to catch up when I come back. All right, 93 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: So that's your number five. What's your number four? And 94 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: number four is the Holiday? Okay, great movie? You hadn't 95 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: seen it? Nope, you also fell asleep at the end. 96 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: I did. So I don't feel like you can give 97 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: an entirely confident review. I will say we watched on TV. 98 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: It was three hours long with commercial breaks those run necessary. 99 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: Who's in this one? Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black, 100 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: Cameron Diaz, and she kind of stepped away from acting 101 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: about four years ago, straight up retired from it. It 102 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: was kind of weird seeing her and reminded of how 103 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: like how many big movies she was in and how 104 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: just famous she was what we talked about last night, 105 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: and just like thinking back on all of the ones 106 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: that she was in. Yeah, I mean, she was one 107 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: of the biggest movie stars for a very long time, 108 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: from like the late nineties to the early two thousand's, 109 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: and for her to just kind of step away from that, 110 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of amazing. And I think 111 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: she has really no plans of going back to acting. 112 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: So who do you think this Christmas movie is for? 113 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: It's definitely a trick flick. Definitely. We're seeing Jack Black 114 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: in this too, because he's just such a comedic actor 115 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: and he plays a more serious role. Yeah, he's still 116 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: kind of funny, but it's a lot more serious than 117 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: you're expecting from him. I will say, I feel like 118 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: there's two camps of holiday movie people. You're either a 119 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: love actually fan or a holiday fan. And I'm a 120 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: Holiday fan. Not saying fans of both can't love the 121 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: other one, but I feel like those are the two 122 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: like strong chick flick like rom coms at Christmas that 123 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: people either fall into and for the other. So far 124 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: in your list, that's kind of where you're leading. Okay, 125 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: what would you rate this holiday movie? I think a 126 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: good holiday movie as far as what you rate it 127 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: is rewatch ability. I think that's what they shoot for 128 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: when they make holiday movies. They want movies that you 129 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: can watch every single year and pretty much get into 130 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: like a syndicated thing of like, Okay, we can make 131 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: a lot of money off this movie. That's why I 132 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: feel like I don't like Christmas movies all that much 133 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: because I feel they're a little bit of a cash grab. 134 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: Watch them every year. Yeah, they have the syndication going. 135 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: That one was on Lifetime all day, literally every three 136 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: The only place you can watch it for free right 137 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: now if you have a Lifetime So because the other movie, 138 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: we had to pay the rent. Yeah, we won't go 139 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: into that. Okay, we can go into that. I think 140 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: there's a weird mental thing when it comes to paying 141 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: for things online. Is it because we paid for movies 142 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: you've already seen for me? It's weird to go and 143 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: pay for like an older movie, like I have no 144 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: problem paying twenty bucks for a brand new movie. That's 145 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: that's why we got into this disagreement. And when it 146 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: comes to that, even what it was, but you won't 147 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: let me buy the two because we can't watch on 148 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: the standard definition. That's another thing I have. If I'm 149 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: going to watch a movie, I have to watch it 150 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: in h D. I don't know why. I'm very particular 151 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: about the quality and when it comes to watching something 152 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: because I want to see it and best qualities it 153 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: can be, So I have to I will spring for 154 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: that extra block if I'm going to pay to streaming 155 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: at home. Okay, Well, luckily I had a dollar off 156 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: coupon on Amazon so we could spring for the HD. 157 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: You were like wanting to bust out the piggy bank, 158 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: Like here, I'll give you the two? Did I mean 159 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: it was on my Amazon account? Okay, So back some 160 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: couples Therapy. Anything else you need to say about that one. No, 161 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: that's just a good one. I ended up what I 162 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: remember from it, I thought it was pretty good. I 163 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: didn't know where it was going in the beginning. You 164 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: didn't know where it was going really the first hour 165 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: because it's Cameron DIA's character goes to live where Kate 166 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: Winslet's characters. They do like a house swap, yeah, and 167 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: then they meet somebody and then they goes from there. 168 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: I just didn't know where it was going, ended up 169 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: with the twist that I wasn't expecting, and I thought 170 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: it was fine. It was okay, that was all I asked, 171 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: because that you watched it with me. Okay, hit me 172 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: with your number three four Christmas is there's just so 173 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: many good parts. Okay, So this one I actually if 174 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have forced me to watch it again, We're 175 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: seeing a theme here. You've made me watch all of these. 176 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: I this was the most unexpected that I actually really liked. 177 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: Had you not seen that one before either, I thought 178 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: we watched someone last year Christmas, Yeah, but that was 179 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: the first time I had seen it. But because of you, 180 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: So this is one that I actually go back and seeing, 181 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: like this is actually a funny movie. It's hilarious. My 182 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: family quotes the whole thing like it's a very quotable 183 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: Christmas movie, extremely quotable. And with this one, I also 184 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: think it wasn't trying so hard to be a Christmas 185 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: movie with like all these little cliches or anything. I 186 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: just thought it was its own kind of funny movie. 187 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: I like Vince Vaughn, I like Risue Oatherspoon. I know 188 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: they didn't really get along when they did the movie together, 189 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: but I don't think that shows when you watch it. 190 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: Favorite scene in the movie, Um, it has to be 191 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: when they're playing taboo. Either that or the scene where 192 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: they're they're reenacting at church. Oh yeah, those are my 193 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: two favorite scenes. Best scenes in the movie. Who do 194 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: you think this Christmas movie is for? Because it's not 195 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: a whole it's not a wholesome Christmas movie. It's not 196 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: really a family Christmas movie. But it's also not like 197 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: a what's your other favorite bad Mom's Christmas? It's not 198 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: on that, but that's one of your other favorites where 199 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: children in the room, because yeah, because they would play 200 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: it on what TBS something. I think it's just the 201 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: language that gets edited out a bit. I feel like 202 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: there's any to be better inappropriate. I actually enjoy this one. 203 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: So this is a Christmas movie. I could actually, Hey, 204 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: every Christmas, I could stand to watch this movie. Tim McGraw, 205 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: and he looks much different than it's different. This is 206 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: the one movie he says he's never seen himself in. 207 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: Really yeah, because he just doesn't want like he saw 208 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: like just the trailer and how he looked in it. 209 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: He said, never want to watch it, but that was 210 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: also part of his character. I feel like, yeah, he 211 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: was great and it's funny. Yeah, Vince Vaughn's family in 212 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: the movie, like his brothers and the kids. The kids 213 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: are even better. All right, what's your number? Two? Elf? Classic? Classic? 214 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: I have seen it. I don't even know how many 215 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: times Alamo Drafthouse Movie Theater in Austin does a quote along, 216 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: and so for the past like four years, obviously not 217 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: this year. Um, I have gone to that several times. 218 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: I think once with my friends we make it like 219 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: our girls Christmas night, and then once with my mom 220 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: and my brothers, and so I just I love that movie. Yeah. 221 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: Once recently we were cleaning your car, and I guess 222 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: you get an ELF hat. Every time it was like, 223 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: here's the one, here's another way. How many at Alamo 224 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: Drafthouse when you go to like a quote along, it's 225 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: different than seeing a typical movie there, because if you 226 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: see a movie at Alamo, you know you're supposed to 227 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: be super quiet, no talking, and quote along, you sing, 228 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: you're loud, you're annoying. They give you props and they 229 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: give you an ELF hat. And I have gone many years. 230 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: I've also driven my friends several times, and they leave 231 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: their elf hats in my car, So I did happen 232 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: to have like five elf hats which you made me 233 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: throw away a little better about that now, It's fine 234 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: if you've never been into Alamo Draft House. It's basically 235 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: a place where you can go and order food while 236 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: you watch such good food, which I know some places 237 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: don't get this entirely right because either the food isn't 238 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: that great or it's just not a great process. But 239 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: Alamo Drafthouse, I gotta say they have it down to 240 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: where it's not annoying when they're running around and taking 241 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: your orders. They do a pretty good job about it, 242 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: and the food is actually good and for me being vegan, 243 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: they have really great vegan options. And the thing I 244 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: love about Alamo Drafthouse besides that is the screens are 245 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: like really great there and the sound is amazing, so 246 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: above all else, like you get a better movie watching 247 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: experience there. So if there is one around you, um, 248 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: whenever everything's kind of back to normal, highly recommend Alamo Drafthouse. 249 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: I will say I think Alamo Drafthouses are actually open 250 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: right now with a ton of like protocols in place. There. 251 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: There you go I know they're doing the off screening, 252 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: so please go see it on my behalf. Alright, hit 253 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: us with your number one Christmas movie. All right, it's 254 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: gonna be controversial. I did this in our like podcast 255 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: about my favorite movie is overall it's the Family Stone. 256 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: Either you love it or you hate it. I don't 257 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 1: feel like there's an in between. People either just love 258 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: the family dynamic or Sarah Duska Parker's character ruins it 259 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: for them. Because she does. She's just kind of an uptight, 260 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: she clears her throat a lot, She's kind of annoying, 261 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: but that's the whole, Like, that's the stick of her, Like, 262 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: that's what she's supposed to be. I think that's just 263 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: her character, that's who she is. I think even a 264 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: little bit in Sex in the City, that was kind 265 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,599 Speaker 1: of her character of sometimes being I don't annoying or 266 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: just kind of like there's certain scenes that you look 267 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: back and you're like, that was, but I car I 268 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: just think that's who she plays, and she does it well. 269 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: I don't think it's should be an attack on Sarah 270 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: Jessica Parker. But why do you love this movie so much? 271 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: I think it goes back to it's one that my 272 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: mom and I watch all the time. We'll watch it 273 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: whenever it's on TV. We watch it every year for Christmas. 274 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: I think we usually start Thanksgiving weekend and then watch 275 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: it again before Christmas. So we're talking like twice a year, 276 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: and I think it just goes back to those memories 277 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: of watching it with my mom and before swine fixed 278 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: like cheese and crackers. Turn it on. That's our movie. 279 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: So you think this is a good mom and daughter 280 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: Christmas movie? I do. Yeah, that'd be a good like 281 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: camp to recommend it to. Well, there you go. I 282 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: enjoyed your list. Thank you. Did you enjoy all of 283 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: my movies? I enjoyed most of them? What are your 284 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: thoughts on the Family Stone? Again? I would not watch 285 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: it unless you even brought this movie to my attention, 286 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: But we watched it again for the second time this year, 287 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: and I like it. I can't remember if you actually 288 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: paid attention during it. I did pay attention. I feel 289 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: like you were on your computer. No, I watched a movie, Okay, 290 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: I like it. I'm good also with this one, watching 291 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: it every year. Okay, So there we go. So the 292 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: only one out of my list that you like what 293 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: was what's the least favorite out of my list? Least 294 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: favorite I could guess what the holiday. Yeah, probably the 295 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: least favorite. I just don't think that one has a 296 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: high rewatchability factor. I saw once. I don't think I 297 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: want to watch it again unless you want me to 298 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: do maybe the end. All right, we're gonna take a 299 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: quick break. Now we'll get back with my movies. All right, 300 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: all right, So now I want to give my top 301 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: five Christmas movies for people who don't like Christmas movies. Now, 302 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: I don't think in my list you'll find any of 303 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: the all out Christmas classics. I think those are a 304 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: whole different kind of category on their own, So you 305 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: won't see any of like It's a Wonderful Lives or 306 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: even Like a Christmas Story on my list. What I 307 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: want to cover is just movies. For me, Chrystmas movies 308 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: are my favorite out of every genre of movie. I 309 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: feel they're very down there because they're either, like I 310 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: said earlier, kind of a cash grab, a little overly cheesy, 311 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: or there's just something about them that the elements to 312 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: making a good movie aren't really there. So sometimes why 313 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: I don't like Christmas movies so when I can find 314 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: movies that have just a little bit of Christmas in it, 315 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: and if you put them on around Christmas time, your 316 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: entire family is not gonna be like, why are we 317 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: even watching this? It has a little bit of Christmas. 318 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: I hint. If Christmas you could say, and I think 319 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: you could put these on and at least maybe half 320 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: your family will enjoy it, which is a pretty good 321 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: ratio for a movie you pop in during Christmas. I 322 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: feel like when my family, it's kind of hard to 323 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: find a movie around the holidays that we all like. 324 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: Our long standing tradition has been to watch a Christmas 325 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: Eve on Sesame Street every year. That's like our go 326 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: to movie, and it was basically just the PBS special 327 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: back in the day, and we've since found a YouTube 328 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: link that we can watch what we open gifts, and 329 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: that's kind of our thing. But aside from Christmas movies, 330 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: there aren't a whole lot that we all like. So 331 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: at number five on my list, I'm going with Bad Santa, 332 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: which is a very crude movie one but checks out 333 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: underneath all the Christmas elements, It's still just a funny 334 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: comedy and I think for people who don't like Christmas movies. 335 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: If you can watch something that's gonna make you laugh 336 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: no matter what and still kind of fit that Christmas team, 337 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: it's a win win. And it's one that I usually 338 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: watched every single year, and there's a lot of kind 339 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: of funny, memorable moments and it has a high rewatch 340 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: ability factor. But again, it's just a funny movie. Beside 341 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: the fact that it's Billy Bob Thornton playing a bad 342 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: Christmas Santa at the mall. I just think it's a 343 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: funny movie. They made a sequel to it wasn't as good, 344 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: but still the original holds up after all these years. 345 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: Have you seen Batsana? I have, but it's been a 346 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: long time. We haven't watched it yet. This year we 347 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: will watch it if you're down for it. I'll always 348 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: watch anything At number four. I'm going with Home Alone now. 349 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: I don't consider Home Alone to be a full on 350 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: Christmas movie, mainly due to the fact that they've made 351 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: Part two, Part three, Part four, whatever, they've made sequels 352 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: to this and the first one. If they played Home 353 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: Alone in July, I don't think that a whole lot 354 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: of people would flinch. You would just see it on 355 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: TV it's Home Alone. There's a little bit of Christmas 356 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: in it, but I don't think you'd be as weirded 357 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: out if he saw like the Santa Claus On in July, 358 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: you'd be like, why are they showing a Christmas movie 359 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: in July? Home Alone? You could watch it really whenever 360 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: and it'd be all right. But also it has that 361 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: little bit of Christmas in it, that what actually happens 362 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: in the movie happens around Christmas. And then again, it's 363 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: just a funny movie. Besides all that stuff, there's a 364 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: lot of memorable parts to it. It's been out for 365 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: thirty years now, so clearly you can stand the test 366 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: of time. But even if you don't like the cheesy 367 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: Christmas elements to it, it's still a funny movie and 368 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: it's a movie that holds up. So what are your 369 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: thoughts on Home Alone? I like Home Alone. It's not 370 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: one of my favorites, Like I'll watch it, but I 371 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: mean it wasn't on my list, so it's not it's 372 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: not something that I have to watch every Christmas would 373 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: but I don't go out of my way to turn 374 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: it on. I think for me and my family, the 375 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: reason we can all agree on Home Alone sometimes is 376 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: because it has a lot of slapstick umer like there's 377 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: not much thought that goes into getting the joke of 378 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: somebody getting hit hit in the face with the paint bucket. 379 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: Like you watch that, you get it no matter what 380 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: language you speak, no matter how old or how young 381 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: you are, that joke you get. So with other Christmas 382 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: movies that don't have that element, like that's just an 383 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: instant thing. So I think that kind of works well 384 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: for our family because my dad has a really hard 385 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: time watching any movie, let alone a Christmas movie. So 386 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: I think like one of his favorite shows back in 387 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: the day was The Three Stooges, So it has that 388 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: kind of humor into this movie. So I think this 389 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 1: is one of the only ones he will he can 390 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: kind of stummack to watch. Well he stay awake through it? No, 391 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: probably not. I think with my dad, he'll watch like 392 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: twenty minutes of any movie and he's out sleep in 393 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: a theater. I think the first movie he ever went 394 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: to when I was a kid was probably The Lion 395 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: King and he fell asleep, So that's kind of his thing. 396 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: At number three on my list, I'm going with die Hard. 397 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: Have You ever seen die Hard. I don't think I have. 398 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: What happens in this movie just happens to occur during Christmas. 399 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: So it is a whole debate every single year of 400 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: like it is die Hard Christmas movie, it's not really 401 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: a Christmas movie because they've made many a sequels to 402 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,959 Speaker 1: die Hard, the same way they did with Home Alone. 403 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: It just happens to happen around a Christmas party. But 404 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,959 Speaker 1: this is my thing reason why the Christmas genre is trash. 405 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: That we fight so hard for movies like die Hard 406 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: and Home Alone to be Christmas movies. That means there 407 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: aren't a whole lot of Christmas movies first to watch 408 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: every year that we force even just any kind of 409 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: movie that has any kind of element of Christmas to 410 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: being a Christmas movie. I think that's why we get 411 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: into the debate every single year. And also it's kind 412 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: of tradition to argue about it. Okay, so if your 413 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: whole thing is that it's not a Christmas movie if 414 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: it just takes place at Christmas, and half of my 415 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: movies wouldn't have been Christmas movies. The holiday only really 416 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: takes place at Christmas time, nothing like the holidays for 417 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: Christmas is, so what what makes a Christmas movie? Then 418 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: I feel like if they're taking place at Christmas, it 419 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: kind of almost makes the whole thing a Christmas movie 420 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: because the colors are different, You've got trees and just singing. 421 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: Like I just feel like if it's set any time 422 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: around Christmas, then it's therefore kind of a Christmas But 423 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: I think that's what we've made the gen route to be. 424 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: I think a true Christmas movie, the entire plot is 425 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: embedded in Christmas and there's no way you can get 426 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: around it without having Christmas. So like something like Miracle 427 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: Onto Street or something like, yeah, Santa Claus or Elf 428 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: is a straight of Christmas movie because he is from 429 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: the North Pole. So anything that has to be embedded 430 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: in the idea of Christmas, you couldn't take it out 431 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: Like any of those movies, you could probably plug into 432 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: anywhere else and then you know, work still. But if 433 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: it has anything to do with Santa, if it has 434 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: anything to do with elves or the actual story of 435 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: Christmas is what makes it the Christmas movie. All right, 436 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: thank you for clarifying, So there we go. But die 437 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: Hard great action movie, even though it came out of 438 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: the eighties, it still kind of holds up and probably 439 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: be my favorite Bruce Willis movie. I'm not a big 440 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: Bruce Willis man. I think for me like action movies, 441 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: I don't know, I get kind of tired of the 442 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: same whold thing. But die Hard kind of did this 443 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: John d first and there was a lot of kind 444 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: of there's a really great movie that made this episode 445 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: that came out on Netflix, of the whole story about 446 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: this movie and how it was really kind of the 447 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: first big major movie for Bruce Willis, Like he wasn't 448 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: an action star before this. He was doing like um 449 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: soap operas before that. So every action movie has kind 450 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: of pretty much tried to be like die Hard since 451 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: so again happens around Christmas, and you can get away 452 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: with it, I'd say go for die Hard all right. 453 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: At number two, another one that happens around Christmas is 454 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: Batman Returns and probably my favorite. Well, a lot of 455 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: Batman movies have come out since, but before The Dark Knight, 456 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: this was easily my favorite Batman movie, mainly because it 457 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: has the Penguin and has Catwoman and overall it looks 458 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: the most like a comic book Batman that I kind 459 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: of envisioned in my head as a kid, and it 460 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: has a lot of those kind of cool production elements 461 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: and kind of throwbacks to like the classic, you know, 462 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: comic books, but it was never cheesy in any way. 463 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: And what they did kind of with The Dark Knight 464 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: later was making more dramatic and realistic, but this one 465 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: had a little more of what I liked as a 466 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: kid to watch. And you've never seen any of the 467 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: original Batman's. If I have, they're not sticking out in 468 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 1: my head. Okay, so I will now force you to 469 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: watch all the Batman and come back and report are great? 470 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: That would you watch all of them? Okay? We're not scary? 471 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: Or are they not a horror movie? Are now the 472 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,479 Speaker 1: this Year's Last Year's Joker scared me? So we'll go 473 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: that's another story. If they're that level, then no, no, 474 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: they're not. At Number one, my favorite movie that feels 475 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: like Christmas, even though it's not a Christmas movie is 476 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone. Now, Christmas is a 477 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: big part of I'd say a lot of the Harry 478 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: Potter movies the books even more so because I've read 479 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: all the books multiple times and the Christmas scenes in 480 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: the books are way better than they are in the movie. 481 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: They just get downplayed to like five minutes in the movie. 482 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: But there are some important elements in the first one, 483 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: like that happened around Christmas because he gets the cloak 484 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: from It's a Christmas Present. So and aside from that, 485 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: kind of watching these movies on Christmas Day feels a 486 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: little bit special because they are just so big and 487 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: cinematic and like there's this it's this whole Harry Potter 488 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 1: world that you're watching. It kind of feels like a 489 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: holiday movie because it's usually they're all cold and then 490 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: robes and stuff, so it kind of has that feeling 491 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: of like a holiday movie in a perfect time to 492 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: watch them. And they used to always come out around 493 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: November December when they would come out, So there's something 494 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: that I associate Harry Potter with being around the holidays. 495 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: And if you put these movies on, it just kind 496 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: of makes like Christmas Day or Christmas Morning feel a 497 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: little bit Christmas Eve, even though it's not a straight 498 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: up Christmas movie. I would agree with that. There are 499 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: no arguments here. You know, I love Harry Potter movies 500 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: and I was a little late on the Harry Potter 501 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: movies because I've never you got into going to the 502 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 1: midnight screenings. Yeah, I read the books. I like, would 503 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: pre order the books. This funny story when I was, 504 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: however old I was, when the seventh one came out, 505 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: I pre ordered it, I bought it, and then you know, 506 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: when you're like a preteen, you're a little sassy. Instead 507 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: of getting grounded, my parents took away my Harry Potter book. 508 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 1: That's how into the books I was. Dan, I've never 509 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: been punished in that kind of way. That's how you 510 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: punish a nerd. Well, anyway, those are our lists. Um, 511 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: I feel like there's some people who maybe want to 512 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: hear more about like classic Christmas movies, but I don't 513 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: feel I don't know. I just think that when you 514 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: get into those lists of like what the best Christmas 515 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: movies are, you're kind of gonna have the same ones 516 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: over and over. So I didn't want to get into that. 517 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: I want to do a lit a bit differently. And 518 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: I liked your list because it's not your traditional Christmas movies. 519 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: For you, who is such a big fan of the 520 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: holiday and such a big fan of this kind of 521 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: genre of movies. I feel like your picks were a 522 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: lot different, that people who maybe wouldn't have watched those 523 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: movies would enjoy them, and it gives somebody something different 524 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: to watch. And again, honorable mention goes to Bad Mom's Christmas, 525 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,959 Speaker 1: but don't watch it with your children around. Well, an 526 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: honorable mention for me was going to be National Lampoon's 527 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: Christmas Vacations. Such a good one because above everything, that's 528 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: just a funny movie. So that was very right on 529 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: for being in my list. But that's an honorable mention. 530 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 1: All right, all right, well there we go. Next, we're 531 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: going to review Happiest Season. Ready, Ready, all right, we're 532 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,719 Speaker 1: gonna get into a movie review now talking about Happiest Season, 533 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: which just came out on Hulu. Both of us were 534 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: very excited for this movie, pretty much because of the 535 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: cast alone. You've got Kristin Stewart, Alison Bree, Dan Levy. 536 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. But before we get 537 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: into our review, here's just a little bit of Happiest Season. 538 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I can't believe I'm finally gonna meet everyone. 539 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: There's something that we should talk about. I didn't tell 540 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: my parents I'm gay, so who do they think I am? 541 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: This is Harper's friend. Yes, of course there, You're so brave, really, Harper, 542 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: this Isavvy. Hevvy is my orphan roommate. We I am 543 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: an orphan, but we lived together as friends like a 544 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: queen the whole place. Yeah, alright, So we sat down 545 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: to watch this movie. We had already seen some early 546 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 1: reviews on it, and so I was doing pretty well. 547 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,239 Speaker 1: And I think we were both excited, mainly because we 548 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: had just come off watching Ship's Creek and we're a 549 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: big fan of Dan Levy's character and that David and 550 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: overall the cast, and this was just so many great 551 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: people that were like, how could this movie not be great? 552 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: That's kind of what we thought going into this, right, Yeah, 553 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: we were really excited. Well, it was also a new 554 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: Christmas movie, and when that we were both excited about 555 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: and Dan Levy again, having finished Ship's Creek, We're like, yes, 556 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: I'll watch anything with him in it right now. And 557 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: the premise of this movie is that a girl played 558 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: by Mackenzie Davis is dating Kristen Stewart and she takes 559 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: her home to meet her family, but she hasn't told 560 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: her family that she's gay, and that's kind of where 561 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: this whole movie plays out. You pretty much find that 562 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: out like the first what minutes of the movie. And 563 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: this movie was a little bit sadder than I was expecting. 564 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: I didn't laugh as much as I wanted to. I 565 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be a full on straight comedy, 566 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: and I think they sold it a little bit more 567 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: as like Dan Levy having a bigger role in it. 568 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: I think because he is coming off the success that 569 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: She's Creek. They're like Dan Levy in this movie with 570 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: christ and Stewart, and I felt like it lacked a 571 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: little bit of him, which I was a little bit 572 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: let down by because I wanted it to be. From 573 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: the trailer, it looked like they're best friends, and he's 574 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: in the movie the entire time. I feel like you 575 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: get him very little in like the first act, the 576 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: second act, and it's kind of more in the third 577 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: act where he's really a part of it. Right. So 578 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: I felt a little bit let down by that, and 579 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: it wasn't as funny as I was expecting. But that's 580 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that's a bad thing. I was kind 581 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: of looking back on it today and I just think 582 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: if I went into it a little bit different. I 583 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: would have enjoyed it more at the time. What did 584 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: you think? Yeah, well, I read one review that said 585 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: it wasn't as funny as expected and it was just 586 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: kind of like bogged down by some of the relationship stuff, 587 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: and I would agree with that. I still thought it 588 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: was good, but it it won't be making my favorites list. 589 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: Do you think it's a Christmas movie you would rewatch? 590 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: I watch it. I think so too, And I think 591 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: initially after we finished it, I wasn't expecting to feel 592 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: what I did because there's some scenes in this movie. Again, 593 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: we won't spoil any of it, because I do recommend 594 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: watching it, but there's some scenes that this movie where 595 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: some things played out and you kind of feel bad 596 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: for the characters involved. And then like, I like Kristin Stewart, 597 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: and I feelt she was very Kristen Stewart in this movie. 598 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: She was very very Christen Stewart. And I think some people, 599 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, they get annoyed by her, like her 600 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: personality or the character she does sometimes, but I like 601 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: her and I like when she delivers that kind of 602 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: Kristin Stewart character, and I really felt for her in 603 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: this movie. So the parts where it kind of gets 604 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: bad for her character, I felt more sad than I 605 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: was expecting. There's some parts where you just cringe because 606 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: you're just kind of imagining. I would say they do 607 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: a good job of not making you feel as if 608 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: you're the character, but they make you feel the emotions 609 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: that characters are feeling. But I think looking back on 610 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: it today, when I was thinking about it, I like 611 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: that it made me feel that way, and I liked 612 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: kind of how it ended up playing out and kind 613 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: of the avenues they decided to explore, and I liked 614 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: it a lot more looking back on it. Initially, I 615 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: was like, like I wanted to laugh more and I 616 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: wanted to enjoy it more in that way. But I 617 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: think the movie does kind of make a statement about things, 618 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: and it does kind of show acceptance a little bit, 619 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: and also like how hard that can be with your family, 620 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,719 Speaker 1: especially around the holidays. So again, it wasn't what I 621 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: was expecting, but I think looking back on it, it 622 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: made me enjoy a little bit more. How do you think, Yeah, 623 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: I'm I haven't processed it as much as you have. 624 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: Apparently I thought a lot about this movie, but I 625 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: will say my rating has gone up a little bit. Initially, well, 626 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: let's get into our rating and then we'll kind of 627 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: discuss it after that. What would you rate this movie? 628 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: I would give it three point seven five paintings out 629 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: of five. Okay, so it's gone up. I think right 630 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: after we first watched it, we both said three point five. 631 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: Why did you give it a three point five at 632 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: that time? Because I didn't laugh as much as I 633 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: wanted to. Yeah, I just think they shouldn't sold us 634 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: as a comedy. Yeah, it was more of a It 635 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: kind of fits into the theme of all my other 636 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: favorite ones of like a little bit of family drama. 637 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: That's what it felt a bit more like. And it 638 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: was presented as a comedy. It's a dramedy with heavy 639 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: on the drama. I have gone up since and I 640 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: give it a four because the acting, and this was 641 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: actually really good of the acting is amazing, because in 642 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: the cast is great. It's just on a higher level 643 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: than other quote unquote Christmas movies to where when I 644 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: was watching it, I didn't feel like it was It 645 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: wasn't cheesy in anyway, and it is very dramatic and 646 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: the acting was just so good. And on a different 647 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: level than a movie that I was expecting that I 648 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: had to rate a little bit higher because it's a 649 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: really good movie. Yeah, it's well done, great cast, good storyline, 650 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: like everything about like what went into this movie is 651 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: great and it made me feel, which I liked. And 652 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: again I do love a movie that makes it it 653 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: makes you feel and if even if it makes you 654 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: feel awkward, even if it makes you feel sad, ad 655 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: or mad or upset in any way or you have 656 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: an opinion on it, I think it's very powerful thing 657 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: that a movie can do. And if you watch this, 658 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna feel some type of way, no matter what 659 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: you feel about the movie as overall, but it will 660 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: make you feel, so I had to bump it up 661 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: to a four. And also the fact that it was 662 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: on Hulu, and Hulu is kind of, I would say, 663 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: arguably like a kind of sleeper pick when it comes 664 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: to like streaming movies because they don't have the amount 665 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: that Netflix does. But I feel like every few months 666 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: they have a hit like this that's kind of unexpected. 667 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: And I think, looking back on all the movies I 668 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: really enjoyed this year, I think I can think of 669 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: at least three Hulu movies from this year that I 670 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: would put on my list. So I'm kind of excited 671 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: for Hulu now, and in the world that we have Netflix, HBO, Max, 672 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: and Disney Plus. Now, I think Hulu is kind of 673 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: you know, they're being able to not only make their 674 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: own original movies, but also like acquire other big movies. 675 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: As I say, I feel like they've That's where I've 676 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: watched a lot of like big movies. They had Parasite, 677 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: That's where I watched Parasite, That's where we watched Book Smart. 678 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: So I feel like sometimes they're the streaming platform that 679 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: actually has it. Yeah, they don't have the quantity that 680 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: other streaming services or like Netflix has, but the movies 681 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: they do have on there are pretty solid. And they 682 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: also Hulu is nice because they'll do live TV like 683 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: the next day. That's the alut of Hulu. That's why 684 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: I originally got my Hulu account. So this has also 685 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: turned into a commercial for Hulu. You're learning, No, I'm 686 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: just saying talking about the difference between Hulu and Netflix. 687 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: Netflix is all I feel like either original or content 688 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,959 Speaker 1: that's already been on TV. Like it's not like current 689 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,719 Speaker 1: seasons of things if I were to rank the streaming 690 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: services right now, I'd still put Netflix in number one 691 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: because they have movies and TV originals. I think I 692 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: would put Hulu at number two after this movie. Last 693 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: week I watched Run. I'm watching the Animates reboot right now, 694 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: so that's up there as well. And then I would 695 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: probably put Disney plus for the amount of newer stuff 696 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: they're starting to put out and also all the old 697 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: nostalgic Would you also watched Honey I Shrunk the Kids 698 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: over the weekend. We did watch them on Thanksgiving morning randomly. 699 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: I don't know why you've turned that on anyway. That's 700 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: a review of Happy Season. Anything else you want to 701 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: say about the movie, I don't think so, because if 702 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: I say too much, I'll give stuff away. Well, there 703 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: you go, we recommend it. Check it out. We'll get 704 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: into some movie news now as you wrap up the episode. 705 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: Probably the biggest headline is now that they are going 706 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: to start filming Black Panther two in July, and it's 707 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: expected to come out still on May six. I think 708 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: that will get pushed back a lot more because they 709 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: haven't even started yet. Who knows if they'll actually get 710 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: to start filming next year. But the big thing is 711 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: that they're not going to recast Chadwick Boseman Black Panther. Like, 712 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: they haven't really said what they're gonna do there. They 713 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: brought in some new actors to play some villains, and 714 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: they're just saying they're going to focus more on another character. 715 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: So it's still kind of early for them to put 716 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: out anything like if they were to replace him, And 717 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: even when that first kind of happened, like I was like, 718 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: they just can't, Like, I don't think it would work. 719 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,959 Speaker 1: I think people would be more upset if they tried 720 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: to bring in somebody new to play him. But it's 721 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: a weird spot to be in because he's the title 722 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: character like he is he is a black panther, Like 723 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: that's him, that's his role. I can't see anybody else 724 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 1: doing that, And to recast him, I think would kind 725 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: of be a dishonor to him, a dishonor to a character. 726 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,439 Speaker 1: And I think it would just I know that that's 727 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: such a big movie for them, and it's such a 728 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 1: big franchise that it's I mean, they only have one 729 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: so far, but there's so much potential for them to 730 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: take that into different places that recasting him is not 731 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,399 Speaker 1: the way to go. So I like that the fact 732 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: that they're going to be, you know, kind of focus 733 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: on another character. Glad to see they're not recasting him, 734 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: all right, and that is movie news. Thanks for hanging 735 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: out with me on this episode, Kelsey, my fiance, You're welcome. 736 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: How do you feel about the fact that you're basically 737 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 1: engaged to Buddy the else Like I've I've made you 738 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 1: get way more into Christmas than you ever were. Yeah, 739 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: Christmas is never really a big deal for me growing 740 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: up because normally every year we would go to Mexico 741 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: and we would either celebrate way early in advance, because 742 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: pretty much right when school let out, we would be like, 743 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: all right, time to go to Mexico and we would 744 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: all usually get one gift. We never did stocking stuffers, 745 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,240 Speaker 1: so we were never really around in the United States 746 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: when Christmas is happening. So it's probably why I didn't 747 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: watch a lot of Christmas movies as a kid. So 748 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: later in life it became a thing of like, Okay, 749 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: let's buy each other gifts and do this normal thing 750 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,720 Speaker 1: once we all were adults and had our own money. 751 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: And now that I have you. I mean, I'm into 752 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: putting up stockings around the house, early, putting up not one, 753 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: but two Christmas trees, and even before we started this podcast, 754 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 1: I wanted to make the abill see him a little 755 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 1: bit Christmas. Yes, you have the white Christmas tree lit up, 756 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: but you just took off of our coffee table with 757 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: a string of lights. So I would say you have 758 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: made me like Christmas more and you've made me realize 759 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: that it can be fun to celebrate with other people. 760 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: My work here is done, so there we go.
