1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie podcast. I

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. Today we are talking about

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: the untold story of the nineteen ninety teenage mutant Ninja

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: Turtles movie. It was just in theaters for its thirty

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: fifth anniversary. I went, I experienced it. I want to

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: talk about does it hold up, why this movie means

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: so much to me, and the crazy history of this

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: movie of the unlikely comic book adaptation that went on

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: to be one of the biggest independent movies of all time.

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: In the movie review, we'll be talking about the movie

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: Sweeping the Nation came back into theaters for a single

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: long version Netflix's K Pop Demon Hunters. This movie is

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: not only crushing. It now on streaming, also at the

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: box office, but also on the Billboard Hot one hundred.

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: And in the trailer park, we'll talk about Marty Supreme

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: starring Timothy Shallomey playing a ping pong player. Thank you

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: to the Monday Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk

19
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: movies from the Nastrolle podcast network. And this is Movie Mike.

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: Movie Plota teenagemw Ninja Thurtles came out in theaters back

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety, but just return to the big screen

22
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: for its thirty fifth anniversary, and I went to go

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: see it, and it was the first time I've seen

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies of all time on the

25
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: big screen. Because for me, TMNT nineteen ninety as a

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: top ten film for me. So I want to talk

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: to you about why this movie was so influential in

28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: my life, the crazy history behind this movie, and how

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: it was an independent film based on a comic book,

30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: which is so normal to us now, but it wasn't

31
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: the case back in nineteen ninety. I mean, we had Superman,

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: we had Batman going from eighty nine, but there wasn't

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: a formula that told you that if you made a

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: comic book adaptation that it was going to work. Actually,

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought this movie was going to fail.

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: But before I get into all that, I just want

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: to tell you about my theater experience. So I'm going

38
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: to review TMNT as if it were a new movie,

39
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: because really, being there in theaters watching this movie on

40
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: the big screen for the first time, I saw it

41
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: in a whole new light. And my biggest question going

42
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: into it was, is this movie going to hold up

43
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: because the interesting thing about this, since this movie is

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: thirty five years old, what I noticed going into the

45
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: screening was that you had several different generations of fans

46
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: going because you have me, well, I almost feel like

47
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm like the second wave of TMNT fan because the

48
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: original fans. I feel like you had to be born

49
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: in the eighties to either discover the comic first or

50
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: discover the cartoon and the toy line in the eighties,

51
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: because my older brother was born in nineteen eighty four,

52
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: the same year the Ninja Turtles were created, so he

53
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: was a kid when they were at the height of

54
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: their popularity because of the animated show, which was so

55
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: tied into the toy line, because the animated show was

56
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: essentially the commercials for the toys, and those were some

57
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: of the most popular toys of all time. And it

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: was his passion and his fandom for the teen age

59
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: Mutan Ninja Turtles that led me to be such a

60
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: big fan. And I probably didn't watch this movie until

61
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: maybe I was four or five years old, so by

62
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: the time I was introduced to tmn T, I already

63
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: had the first three movies to watch. But there was

64
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: always something about this movie that stood out to me

65
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: as a kid, even though I didn't fully understand it,

66
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: and I think it wasn't probably until I was a

67
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: teenager that this became my favorite TM and T movie

68
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: because to my young brain, Part two was actually my

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: favorite through the majority of my childhood because it had

70
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: so much more comedic elements, and that is actually what

71
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: they tried to do when making the sequel, because this

72
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: first movie is so dark and it's based more on

73
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: the comic book, which does have more of a gritty tone,

74
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: but that is exactly what came to life. And I

75
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: wanted to know when going to see this movie in

76
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: theaters now, is it going to feel really dated? Is

77
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: it not going to hold up on the big screen?

78
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: Because as I saw all these different generations of fans,

79
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: I saw people a little bit older than me, probably

80
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: born in the early to mid eighties. I saw people

81
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: my age. But then I saw all of those people

82
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: bring their kids with them. So there were five year

83
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: olds to ten year olds all going to experience this movie.

84
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: They've probably never seen it, maybe their dad made them

85
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: watch it at home, and that was interesting to see

86
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: because I wanted to know if they were going to

87
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: enjoy it because I think for me, I see this

88
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: movie and I think it's a perfect movie. But now

89
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: we've had so many iterations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

90
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: We've had the animated movie, We've had the Michael o'bay

91
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: version of the Turtles, We've had them on Nickelodeon. So

92
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: it's what is introduced to you is probably going to

93
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: be your favorite. But it meant a lot to me

94
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: to know if this movie would hold up for all

95
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: these generations of fans or is it just going to

96
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: look old and lame. But the thing that stuck out

97
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: to me is after this screening, all those kids were

98
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: still excited. I even heard them having conversations with their dads.

99
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: We're all filing out of the theater going up the escalator.

100
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: One of these kids was so excited. I was like, wow,

101
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: that came out thirty five years ago. It was so good.

102
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: And that made me happy because to me, going to

103
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: see this in theaters, I really felt like the movie

104
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: held up so well. It still hit me on an

105
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: emotional level, probably more so than it ever had because

106
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: I kind of felt like, this is a movie that

107
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of time with much like I

108
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: would spend a lot of time with my favorite album.

109
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: And you can spend so much time listening to your

110
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: favorite songs they become a part of you. But then

111
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: it transforms you even more as a person when you

112
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: go see those favorite songs performed live in person. And

113
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: that is what this experience felt like to me. It

114
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: was like I spent this entire time listening to this

115
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: album but never got to fully experience it live. And

116
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: for me, going to the theater to watch a movie

117
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: is like watching something live because it takes on a

118
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: different life. You get to see it how it was

119
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: meant to be seen, how this movie was designed, and

120
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: there were so many things that stuck out to me more.

121
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: First of all, this movie is beautifully shot, as far

122
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: as the composition that goes into all of these shots,

123
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: the cinematography, it is there. And yes, there were some

124
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: technical aspects that even in the original movie, they got

125
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: some things wrong. And it's crazy because this movie was

126
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: filmed so quickly that there were mistakes left in the

127
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: original movie. If you go watch it on VHS or

128
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: even some streaming services that don't have the updated version,

129
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: there are some parts where you see the actors inside

130
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: of the costumes. Especially there's scenes like in the sewer

131
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: where they're skateboarding and you see them have a human hand.

132
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: There are other aspects of the animatronics where maybe they

133
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: open their mouth a little bit too wide, and you

134
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: see some of the wires, you see the actor inside.

135
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 1: There's a part in the final battle between the Ninja

136
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: Turtles and Shredder wherever Shredder is going to a hack

137
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: splinter to try and knock them off the top of

138
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: the building, and you see the backdrop of the set.

139
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: Because a lot of this movie was filmed in a warehouse,

140
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: some of it was actually filmed on the streets of

141
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: New York, but you can see in that moment that

142
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: it's a big set and you see almost this big

143
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: curtain draped over. So things like that were left in

144
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: the movie, and I was happy that they fixed all

145
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: those in post production. But the movie just looks so good.

146
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: It had that rich film quality. I want the warmth

147
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: of a movie filmed on actual film and with characters

148
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: that are actually there in the flesh. They used animatronics

149
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: from the Jim Henson Company to make the Ninja Turtles

150
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: come to life, which is something that we don't really

151
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: get in the Michael Bay versions where they're all cgi.

152
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: They're too big, and I feel like those movies would

153
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: not hold up in this same way because that technology

154
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: that look is going to be so much more dated

155
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: than the actual animatronic Ninja Turtles. The other thing that

156
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: really stuck out to me going to see this movie

157
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: in theaters for the first time was the score. It's

158
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: so good behind all of these scenes, and it really

159
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: helps create that environment, that sense of urgency, and it

160
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: has this really dark undertone that it just lays the

161
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: foundation for this story where it starts out very chilling,

162
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: it builds up at times. It really brings the fight

163
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: scenes to life. And I never really appreciated the score

164
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: until I saw it in theaters and listen to all

165
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: the instruments that has that nineties influence, which of course

166
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: this movie came out in nineties, so it's probably the

167
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: remnants of the eighties sound, but it almost has like

168
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: this punk vibe to it that fits the story so

169
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: well that really amplifies all the emotional parts of this film.

170
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: And it was just so beautifully done and made every

171
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: scene come to life. When it came to seeing the

172
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: Turtles fight and really capturing their raw emotion, which is

173
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: what this movie is filled with and probably why it

174
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: resonates so much more with me as an adult now,

175
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: because like I said, Part two was my favorite as

176
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: a kid, but now as I go rewatch this movie,

177
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: I realize the story and how it impacts me so

178
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: much more and how yes, it is a story about

179
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: these four turtles that are in the sewer, playing in

180
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: this radioactive ooz that transforms them to grow bigger and

181
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: bigger splinter. Their father figure in this movie is also

182
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: affected by this ooz. He grows bigger and bigger and

183
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: smarter and smarter and trains them to beat ninjas. And yes,

184
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: that is what this movie is about, four teenage ninja

185
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: turtles who fight crime. But going to watch this movie

186
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: in theaters and viewing it like any other movie I

187
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: would go see in theaters this year. It is a

188
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: story about a father figure who cares so much about

189
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: his sons and just wants to see them succeed by

190
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: giving them all the tools they need to be successful.

191
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: From every mistake that they make, because that's what as

192
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: do they do, dumb things they don't listen to their parents.

193
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: He always shows them how much. He loves them, and

194
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: not only them, but anybody he comes in contact with.

195
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: He is this guiding light and just tries to help people.

196
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: Even when he is being beaten and starved to a

197
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: bloody pulp, he is still there trying to see the

198
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: good in people and trying to do the right thing.

199
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: And the story is about these four brothers who are

200
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: trying to understand that and trying to navigate this world

201
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: where they don't think they will be accepted. Because they

202
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: are confined to the sewers, they can't be seen. They

203
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: can go and help fight crime, but they must remain

204
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: hidden at all times, even though they hide their faces

205
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: with the bandanas. If you see a big turtle with

206
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: the bandana, you're not thinking, I don't know who that is.

207
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: Because they're wearing a bandana, You're gonna think that is

208
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: a huge turnle. I know exactly who that is. They

209
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: don't need to cover their face, but for aesthetics. It's

210
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: also because whenever the Ninja turtles were first created, they

211
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: all had red bandanas and you really couldn't tell one

212
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: apart from the other, so the creators decided to give

213
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: them all different colors, put their letters on their belts,

214
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: at least in the animated show. They don't have that

215
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: in the movie. And they also all have weapons unique

216
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: to them. So Leonardo is the leader. He has the

217
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: twin katanas, which are these really huge sharp blades. He

218
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: has given those because he is the leader, and it

219
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: shows you that you have that leadership quality to wield

220
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: those weapons. Also shows you how precise he is. In

221
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: the Samurai tradition, that katana is a weapon of honor,

222
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: and that is fitting for Leonardo. And Leonardo wears the blue,

223
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: Rafael wears the red. He has the Si, which is

224
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: the three pointed dagger, which at the beginning of the movie,

225
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: when he helps April O'Neil, he leaves one behind and

226
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: she tastes it and he's like, man, damn, I gotta

227
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: get that thing back. And that weapon is perfect for

228
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: him because he's hot headed, he's very aggressive, and the

229
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: sigh it's for short, close contact combat, which is perfect

230
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: for his brawling style because he is just a lot

231
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: of emotion, a lot of rage that just kind of

232
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: comes at you, and that is what I love about Raphael.

233
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: Then you have Michelangelo in the Orange aka Mikey, which

234
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: is somebody that I gravitated to a lot as a kid.

235
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: The reason I was called Mikey growing up was because

236
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: of Michelangelo. So growing up, I felt like I was

237
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: a Mikey and it wasn't until I was an adult

238
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: that I realized I'm a Rafael. But he has the nunchucks,

239
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: which are very fast and flashy, a little bit silly

240
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: at times, so I think that's why they fit Michelangelo perfectly.

241
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: He is the comic relief, and he has a lot

242
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: of comic relief with his nunchucks in TMN T one.

243
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: And then you have Donna Tello who has the bo staff,

244
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: which is interesting for Donna Tello not so much in

245
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: TMNT one, but later he becomes the tech brother who

246
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: is so good with electronics and hacking into things, and

247
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of ironic that his is the most basic

248
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: of all. It's basically a big stick, but also kind

249
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: of fitting because if you just have a big stick,

250
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: that means you have to be more precise with it,

251
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: you have to value technique and strategy more than just

252
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: having a really cool weapon. And you probably know this

253
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: by now, but they're all named after Renaissance artists. Leonardo

254
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: da Vinci, Donna Tello, Michelangelo, and Rafael. They're all Renaissance artists.

255
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: I do want to get into the more emotional parts

256
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: of this movie, but before it gets said, here are

257
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: my top five funny moments from TMNT. One at number

258
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: five is this joke that went over my head as

259
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: a kid, but now as an adult, I get it,

260
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: and even getting it now as an adult, it's almost

261
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: twice as funny because Casey Jones is a very interesting character.

262
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: He is somebody who was a professional hockey player and

263
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: then got injured so couldn't play hockey anymore, and then

264
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: just started fighting crime. Stumbles upon the Ninja Turtles in

265
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: April O'Neil and then just kind of hangs out with them,

266
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: even though nobody really questions that he He doesn't really

267
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: have a job. He just hangs out in sweatpants the

268
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: entire time and then just becomes the normal part of them.

269
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: But he's not the brightest guy, but he has some

270
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: brute strength. So they're all going back into the city,

271
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: back into the sewer, and he realizes that he doesn't

272
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: like being down there. You're a claustrophobic. You want to

273
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: fisting them off. Never even looked at another guy before,

274
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: and I didn't really get that joke as a kid,

275
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: and even now as an adult, it's a little bit

276
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: complex because the joke is that he thinks Dona Tello

277
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: is calling him homophobic, and Casey Jones thinks that that

278
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: would mean that he likes guys, which is not what

279
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: homophobic means at all. It kind of means the opposite

280
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: of that. But then it gets even more complex when

281
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: you realize that Casey Jones actually is a claustrophobic because

282
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: after this scene down in the sewer, he goes back

283
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: up to his truck to go to sleep, and he

284
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: has trouble falling asleep in the truck because that's also

285
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: a tight space that he opens up the window. So

286
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: he is claustrophobic, and who knows if he likes guys

287
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: or not. He got really defensive there though. And number

288
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: four was this quote from Michelangelo. It's's watching a cartoon

289
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: and it's really quick, but I found myself saying this

290
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: so much as a kid. Come on, don't just then

291
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: you kick the damn rabbit. Do something. It's just funny

292
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: because he's sticking up for the turtle in the cartoon,

293
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: racing the rabbit. I just always thought that was funny.

294
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: At Number three was this scene when they first go

295
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: hang out with April O'Neil at her apartment and they're

296
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: trying to impress her, and then Michael Angelo bust out

297
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: the impressions you dirty rat you killed by brought off

298
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: you dirty rat us be Splitter's favorite. It was a joke.

299
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: And number two was right before that moment whenever she

300
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: invites them up to their apartment and can only offer

301
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: them one thing to eat. I really don't have anything

302
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: to offer you guys except for a frozen pizza. Let

303
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: go for it. You said the magic word, you guys,

304
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: die pizza. Yeah, well, all right. This scene was still funny,

305
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: but I did notice some of the technical aspects. The

306
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: frame rate is just weird, and I remember this as

307
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: a kid. Whenever Michaelangelo comes up from the sewer, they

308
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: speed it up, but they also kept his mouth still

309
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: at that speed whenever he says that line, let's go

310
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: for it, and that whole thing looks weird. That was

311
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: one thing I did notice watching it on the big

312
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: screen is how much their mouths do not align with

313
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: what they are saying. So that was the only technical

314
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: aspect that I thought, oh man, that looks a little

315
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: bit off. It looks a little bit dated at times.

316
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: But at number one is the most classic line of

317
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: this movie. And I think I didn't really get it

318
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: as a kid. Why the Ninja turtles love pizza so much,

319
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: It's because the only food that could be delivered was pizza.

320
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: Think about it. Now we have uber eats, you can

321
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: get anything delivered, but back in the nineties it was

322
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: really pizza, maybe Chinese food. But if they are living

323
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: in New York City, the easiest thing for them to

324
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: order to get delivered would be pizza. Because they can

325
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: be seen. They can't go out and get any food

326
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: they want. They can't go to a restaurant. They have

327
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: to get things delivered to them. Even though ra Fayel

328
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: does go out to a movie which was kind of weird,

329
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: like how are you not going to notice a turtle

330
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: in a trench coat? But the origin of them getting

331
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: pizza is because that's what they could get delivered to them.

332
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: And he drops this gem of a line that is

333
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 1: not only the best quote of the entire movie, one

334
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: of the best quotes from any nineties movie. This is

335
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: a ten that have thirteen. You're dooming us late dude. Nah,

336
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: come on, I couldn't find a place wise man say

337
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: for kidnas is divine, but never pay full price for

338
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: late pizza.

339
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: I gotta get a new route.

340
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: That is a classic line. So those are my top

341
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: five funniest moments from TMN T All right, let's get

342
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: to the emotional stuff. Now. This is why this movie

343
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: is one of my favorites, is because you do have

344
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: the fun things like that, there are the moments of levity.

345
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: It was intended to be a movie for kids. But

346
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: what I love when somebody makes a movie for kids

347
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: and doesn't undermine their brain, doesn't make something that just

348
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: plays down to them because maybe they can't get some

349
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: of these more complex things. You make something in its

350
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: true form, honoring the comic that it is based on,

351
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: and not talking down to your audience. Because the emotional

352
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: level of this movie is off the charts, and I

353
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 1: think it really captures that energy, that feeling of what

354
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: it's like to be a teenager just frustrated with the world.

355
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: And that is really what I took away from this

356
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: movie and why it still holds up to me and

357
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: why it is one of my favorites because I remember

358
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: exactly what it's like to feel like this, and sometimes

359
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: even as an adult now, I still feel these ways

360
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: that the Ninja Turtles felt dealing with these issues of

361
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: having their father figure ripped away from them, feeling like outcasts,

362
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: feeling like everybody in the world was against them, like

363
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: they couldn't get any credit even when they did good things.

364
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: So there's a moment in the movie with Rafayel is

365
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: just chilling on a rooftop and the entire Foot Clan,

366
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: which is the bad guys that are out to get

367
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: the Ninja Turtles. They are the secret organization run by Shredder.

368
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: He is their leader. They all gang up on him

369
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: and kick his butt so bad that he gets put

370
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: into a coma for days. They leave the city and

371
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: go out to a farm and put him in a

372
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: tub and just wait for him to wake up until

373
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: one day where Leonardo has been just watching over him.

374
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: He feels guilty. Raphael finally wakes up. Hey, what Raff,

375
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: you're awake? Yep, I do feel what's the guy got

376
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: it too? To get some food around his Hey, hey,

377
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: he's awake, he wants some food. Bring some food. Just

378
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,479
Speaker 1: the emotion Leonardo's voice in that moment, how happy he

379
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: is because he thought that Rafael was dead. He thought

380
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: it was going to be his fault and to finally

381
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: see him come to life, and rap is kind of

382
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: in this state of like, I'm all right, man, He's

383
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: just happy to be awake. And that is one of

384
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: the most genuine interactions between these two characters because they've

385
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: been button heads this entire time because Leonardo is the leader.

386
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: Rafael doesn't want him to be the leader. Really, they

387
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: just butt heads because he doesn't want to do everything

388
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: that Leo says. He's like, oh, you're the great leader.

389
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: Everybody listens to you, much like you would your older brother,

390
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: your older sister. You would just clash just because they

391
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: are older and wiser than you and maybe sometimes do

392
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: have things in your best interest that you don't realize

393
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: at the time. And this is the manifestation of that.

394
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: And it's something that's always resonated with me having an

395
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: older brother and an older sister where at times we're

396
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,120
Speaker 1: always just at each other's throats, but in moments of

397
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: turmoil and when things get really bad, you know that

398
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: they are there for you. And that is what I

399
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: fell in that moment, so Rafael waking up after being

400
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: in a butt induced coma is at number five and

401
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: number four. This movie has one of the best final

402
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: battles of all time. Splinter was taken from them and

403
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: they had their butt beat in the process trying to

404
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: figure out where he was. They had to go out

405
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: to the farm to find themselves and then come back

406
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: to the city to take on the Foot Clan and

407
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: the final showdown is with Shredder, and it is such

408
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: an emotional match as each Ninja Turtle comes up individually

409
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: trying to take him down, trying to prove that they

410
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: have been given the skills by their leader to take

411
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: down this evil villain. And then this moment comes in

412
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: the fight where all that emotion, all that crap just

413
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: hits the fan with Splinter. Ah the right.

414
00:21:53,200 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 3: Sword house A name name, you lie.

415
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: And it's that raw emotion that I'm talking about. What

416
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: you heard there was Leo getting just all this rage

417
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: built up into him and let's out that as he

418
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: charges Shredder Like that emotion is what I look for

419
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: in a movie. I love that so much because he

420
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: just wants to find Splinter. He hates Shredder so much.

421
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: In that moment, and you just hear all that manifestation

422
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: in that scream right there, which we're gonna hear more screams,

423
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,479
Speaker 1: and I got a little bit of emotional there. But

424
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: this is how passionate I am about this movie. But

425
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: I have that Leo charging Shredder as my number four

426
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: emotional moment in this movie because they were just told that, yeah,

427
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: I killed him, what are you gonna do about it now?

428
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: But then Shredder pins him and then almost kills Leo

429
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: and they all surrender their weapons, but it does lead

430
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 1: to them eventually defeating Shredder after Splinter throws them off

431
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: the roof. Next up my number three most emotional moment

432
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: from this movie. I don't know how I'm gonna make

433
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: it through this list, but at number three is whenever

434
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: they're out at the farm and they go to meditate,

435
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: because Leo had this quick moment when he was meditating

436
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: before this where he had a vision of seeing Splinter

437
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 1: a little bit, but more so hearing his voice and

438
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: knowing that he took all his brothers out there and

439
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: they all worked hard together they could manifest their powers

440
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: through meditation and find out if Splinter is alive or not,

441
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: and Splinter comes to them in a vision. They're all

442
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: sitting around this campfire. The flame turns from red to blue,

443
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: and almost a hologram appears, much like it would in

444
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: Star Wars of Splinter, and he drops this line on them.

445
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 2: And always fem menimum, the true force that find you,

446
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: the same that would want to be here tonight, that

447
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: which I gladly returned with my final words, I love

448
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: you all.

449
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: My sons lit all crying. You see Michaelangelo with the

450
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: tear and as I much like I do right now,

451
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: because they saw Splinter in this vision, and with all

452
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: the crap he is going through, he is still giving

453
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: them advice and just reassuring them that out of everything,

454
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: all they need to know is that he loves them.

455
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: Like man.

456
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because I think back on my relationship with

457
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: my father. He would tell me that he loved me.

458
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: I take that back. He wouldn't always tell me, but

459
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: he would show me. I do remember him. Maybe when

460
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: I was young, young, like kindergarten, maybe first grade, he

461
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: would tell me that he loved me. Later, as I

462
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: got older, I think it was harder for him, just because,

463
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: like man, you know, you don't say you love you

464
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: to another man, even though they're your son. But he

465
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: would show me ways like taking me to Burger king,

466
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: getting me at the Pokemon toy, taking me to get

467
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: a video game, basically making sure I was fed and

468
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: at times entertained when we can afford it. And it's

469
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: even now as an adult that he does that. Like

470
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: one time I went home as an adult, maybe three

471
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: or four years ago, and he found out my favorite

472
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: drink was Topo Chico. So he went to the gas

473
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: station and bought every single Topo Chico that that gas

474
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: station hadn't stuck and brought them all for me for

475
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: the weekend, even though I couldn't even drink all those

476
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: in a weekend that I was home visiting my parents,

477
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 1: but he knew I loved to drink. Maybe in that

478
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: moment wanted to tell me that he loved me did it,

479
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: but instead he showed me by getting me every Topo

480
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: Chico from the shell gas station. So maybe that's also

481
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: why that scene hits a little bit at number two

482
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: is the first moment that they realized that the sewer

483
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 1: has been broken into, their layer has been destroyed, and

484
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: splinter has been stolen. He's been kidnapped or rat napped.

485
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: Raphael just had this big conversation with Splinter. Splinter was

486
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: telling him that he needs to control his anger, which

487
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: he tries to do that all throughout the film, but

488
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: once he realizes that Splinter has been stolen, he freaks

489
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: out just a plus screams all movie long. He screams

490
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: so loud that what you hear there at the end

491
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: is somebody walking over the sewer and they hear his

492
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: scream coming from underneath them, like what the But at

493
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: number two is Rafayel freaking out in that moment. And

494
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: at number one again because this movie is filled with

495
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: rage emotion that I just identify with maybe I just

496
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: have this rage deep inside of me. But at number one,

497
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: it's from the first battle between Casey Jones and Raphael,

498
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: after Rafael stops these two thieves from stealing a woman's

499
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: purse and he fights them off of the woman. But

500
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: then Casey Jones steps in and says, now we got

501
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: to take it up a level and teach them a

502
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: real lesson by really kicking their butt. And Turtles really

503
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: aren't about that life. They're all about in crime, but

504
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: not beating up people for the sake of beating up people.

505
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: That's not the Ninja way. But that turns into Raphael

506
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: and Casey Jones having an epic showdown. Early on in

507
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: the movie. Rafael knocks out Casey Jones with a bat

508
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: and then Casey Jones knocks him out with a cricket

509
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: paddle and then drops this insult on him.

510
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 3: Frey, Frey, come back, I'm not puttish for you.

511
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: Damn all movie long, Rafayel just yelling, damn screaming at people.

512
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: That is still my favorite part of this movie as

513
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: an adult. I think going into where the teenage Muant

514
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles are going, where the Last Rownin is still

515
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: in production, still in development, I think if they take

516
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: the same blueprint that was made with this nineteen ninety

517
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: movie and apply it to the Last Ronin, which is

518
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: an even darker graphic novel than the original comic book,

519
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: I honestly think that's all you need to do, because

520
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: this movie, if you added some blood and added some

521
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: more violence, would be right. It are And it's wild

522
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: that this is considered a kid's movie because if you

523
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: just listen back to the things that we've talked about,

524
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: they're not the most family friendly moments. But why is

525
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: this movie still relevant and so important? It was really

526
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: a landmark film back in the nineties, directed by Steve

527
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: Barron who shot this movie in forty days on a

528
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: thirteen point five million dollar budget. That is fast, that

529
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: is cheap, and the movie went on to gross over

530
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars. It got that sequel. Steve Barron,

531
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: at the time was known for directing music videos like

532
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson's Billy Jean and also AHA's Take on Me

533
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: music video, which is that cool animation. So maybe not

534
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: my first choice of who I thought would bring the

535
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: Ninja Troats to life, but he really took Kevin Eastman

536
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: and Peter Laird's story and did it justice. Which they

537
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: are the original creators of TM and TEE. They didn't

538
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: really have a whole lot of creative control as far

539
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: as final decisions, but they did help them during the

540
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: development of the movie. And even though they kind of

541
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: went back and forth, I'm like, should we turn our

542
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: comic book into a big movie, they knew that this

543
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: would cement them in pop culture if it was successful.

544
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: The movie was shot in September nineteen eighty nine in Wilmington,

545
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: North Carolina, which, like I mentioned earlier. Some exterior shots

546
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: were shot in New York City. Some of the things

547
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: they experienced that they don't really talk about is that

548
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: some of the actors experience heat exhaustion, which you hear

549
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: now people who play superheroes like Anthony Mackie, they don't

550
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: want to wear the mask the entire time. Which I

551
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: think is why they have kind of shifted to some

552
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: digital suits in Nanotech, is because it is a pain

553
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: to make movies like this. But you had actors and

554
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: stunt performers in this Ninja Turtles movie overheating inside of

555
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: these things because they are so big, and it's not

556
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: only the you're wearing these big rubber suits, but you're

557
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: also under these massive studio light. And not only were

558
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: they super hot, they were also hard to work, which

559
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: the movie was riddled with mechanical failures and facial expressions

560
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: that didn't come across right. And you think about it too,

561
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: you're inside of this big suit, you have such limited visibility,

562
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: but then you're supposed to do these fight sequences that

563
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: have to look so real and so authentic. It led

564
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: to take after take after take. The filming of this

565
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: movie was not easy. It was a Nightmare, And yes,

566
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: it probably is easier to make a CGI Turtle where

567
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: you just have somebody kind of wearing the exoskeleton, kind

568
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: of like they do The Incredible Hulk now where Mark

569
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: Ruffalo puts on the suit. It's big and bulky and

570
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: it kind of outlines the character. But then they go

571
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: into post production and with CGI they put the character in.

572
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: But there's just something about having a tangible thing that

573
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: you can interact with that just feels so much more authentic,

574
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: and that was captured here and that's what made this

575
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: movie work, even though they probably almost die doing it.

576
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: Because actually, in that last scene that I played Whenever,

577
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: Casey Jones fights Rafael and he gets thrown into a

578
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: trash can, the actor inside of the raft suit actually

579
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: broke his nose, and if you go and watch the movie,

580
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: you can actually see him get up from the trash

581
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: can grabbing his nose because he broke it being flung

582
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: into the trash can. But the movie went on to

583
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: be a huge success, and it became the highest grossing

584
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: independent film of all time until The Blair Witch Project

585
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: came out in nineteen ninety nine. But to me, it's

586
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: just wild to look back on TMN T one and

587
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: think that was an independent movie, because now it is

588
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: a huge franchise. You have several generations of fans, and

589
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I got to go see this movie

590
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: in theaters and see Turtle fans from every walk of

591
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: life just come and enjoy this movie on the big screen.

592
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: So if they do this for the fortieth anniversary, I'll

593
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: be right back there as well. And so that I say, Cowabunga, cow,

594
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: I made money. Let's get into it now. A Sportula

595
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: Free movie review of K Pop Deepen Hunters. I was

596
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: unaware how much I was just gonna instantly love this movie. Obviously,

597
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of animation. Sony animation, in particular

598
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: from the same studio that brought us into the Spider Verse.

599
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: Across the Spider Verse. Just the animation alone in this

600
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: movie is beautiful. It is so fluid and vibrant and

601
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: so much expression in all of these characters that if

602
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: you strip this movie of the voice acting, of the music,

603
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: it would still be a delight to watch. And a

604
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: weird thing to say about animation in twenty twenty five.

605
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes I just feel like it lacks inspiration, It lacks originality. Obviously,

606
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: some of that comes from animation being so expensive because

607
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: it takes so long to make. But if you are

608
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: gonna make a movie that really stands out, you have

609
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: to commit to giving us something visually that we haven't

610
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: seen before, and Sony is really great about doing that.

611
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: And the reason I love this movie so much just

612
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: on an animation standpoint is because I feel like this

613
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: is a movie I wish I grew up with, and

614
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: growing up in an era in the nineties and two

615
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: thousands where there were so many movies that had so

616
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: much artistic thought put into them that we don't really

617
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: get right now that I feel like some young people

618
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: are being robbed of that with movies like this. I think, oh,

619
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: this is going to be a nostalgic movie for a

620
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: kid in ten to fifteen years where you remember something

621
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: really good you watched as a kid, you go back

622
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: and watch it because it's so nostalgic. That is what

623
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: I get from K Pop Demon Hunters and knowing that

624
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: they are still putting movies like this out into the

625
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: world that are not only crushing records on Netflix, but

626
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: this past weekend went into theaters, which is something that

627
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: Netflix rarely does, but they know how much of a

628
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: cultural impact this movie is having because the song Golden

629
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: not only is fantastic in the movie, but also when

630
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: number one on the Billboard Hot one hundred. All the

631
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: songs in K pop Demon Hunters are so infectious. I'm

632
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: still singing Yo mas it up pop, Yo maso it

633
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: up Pop. Golden just has this very massive feel to it.

634
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: And it's really hard to make a music movie because

635
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: not only do you have to make the story compelling,

636
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: the music has to be good. Because the movie is

637
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: about a K pop band named Hunterricks that is at

638
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: the top of their game. They're selling out stadiums, they

639
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 1: have a massive fan base. They are also demon Hunters.

640
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: They come from a lineage of people who have been

641
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: not only entertaining audiences but also killing demons with their voice.

642
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: So you have Rumy, Mira, and Zoe, who are all

643
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: unique in their own way, much like you would find

644
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: in any K pop or pop band, and they are

645
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: so close to reaching the final stage in their journey

646
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: as demon Hunters, and all is going well until they

647
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: have to face off against a rival boy band, the

648
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: Saga Boys, whose members actually happen to be d humans.

649
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 1: So you have these two pop forces fighting against each other.

650
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: And not only is it just about good versus evil,

651
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: the pop stars fighting the demons. This movie makes a

652
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: really big statement on the music industry because underneath all

653
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 1: the demon hunting you have the pressures of what it's

654
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: like to be a pop star. Roomy is the leader

655
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 1: of the K pop band, and she has been pushing

656
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 1: them harder and harder to achieve this level of greatness.

657
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: They are about to wrap up this tour and they're

658
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: all excited to take a break. All they want to

659
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: do is hang out on the couch, and she pushes

660
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: them to continue forward because they are so close in

661
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: their journey. So right after their tour, they're about to

662
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: go on break and she decides to drop their next single, Golden,

663
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: and at that time, she starts struggling with her voice,

664
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: and you start to see all these little details about

665
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: how much pressure there is on pop stars to continue

666
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: pushing forward when they're at the top of their game,

667
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: when they're selling not the stadiums, when their fan base

668
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: is at an all time high, their social numbers are

669
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: off the charts, their singles are selling like crazy, and

670
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: there's a demand to keep putting out more new music,

671
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: keep touring the world, keep up with appearances, keep doing interviews,

672
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: And it shows you how all those things can really

673
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: start to wear you down and how much pressure there

674
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,760
Speaker 1: is on an artist when it's all about your ability

675
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: to perform, your ability to get on that stage. Whether

676
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 1: you're sick, whether you're tired, whether you need rest, whether

677
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: you're hungry, You have to go up there no matter what,

678
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: and it shows how much that can really tear a

679
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: person down. And even though they love their fans so much,

680
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: they put them first, They try to do all these

681
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: things to make sure that they are happy. They know

682
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: how also that is a very delicate line to walk

683
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: about how much of yourself do you want to give

684
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: away and how much do you want to keep their attention,

685
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: because in the pop world it is so hard to

686
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: keep your fan base just right there with you more

687
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: than any other genre. You can be cool one day

688
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: and uncool the next. So it also speaks on that

689
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: pressure of just remaining relevant and everything you put out

690
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: has to be the best, it has to go number one,

691
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: and if it doesn't, you start to feel that pressure

692
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: of you becoming a little less relevant, you starting to

693
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: lose your fan base. And then they have this rival

694
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: boy band come out of nowhere. They are also secretly demons,

695
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: showing you the evil side of the music industry, and

696
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: suddenly they are all fighting for attention, which is all

697
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: what it means to be to be a pop star.

698
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: You're just fighting for people's attention, and in this case,

699
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: they're also fighting to keep their fans safe and keep

700
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: the entire world safe from all of these demons. I

701
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 1: really love that over the weekend they decided to put

702
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: this movie into theaters and have these sing along screenings,

703
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: because I think that is what movie theaters really need

704
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 1: to lean into more to get people engaged. That is

705
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: something that you can't get from watching at home, because

706
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: I think I see this debate online all the time

707
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: of like why would I go to a movie theater

708
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: when I have a big screen TV and I have

709
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: a big sound system at home. You know what you

710
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: can't get at home. You can't get community and seeing

711
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: K pop demon Hunters in a room full of people

712
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: who are all there that already know these songs, because

713
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: like I mentioned earlier, all these songs are so catchy.

714
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: To go into an environment like that with all these

715
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: like minded fans, you can't get that at home. You

716
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: can't get that community of going into a theater of

717
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: strangers to sing along to a movie that you've all

718
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: spent time with and love now and you all have

719
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: this shared experience in this room and then leave there

720
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: completely changed because of it. So I think we have

721
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: seen in the past year or so movie theaters really

722
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: start to embrace that more. Maybe it got a little

723
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: bit out of hand with the Minecraft screenings of people

724
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: losing their crap, So I don't think they want another

725
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: Chicken Jockey situation with every movie like this that has

726
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: viral success. But I think their ability to realize that

727
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: there is something here, and I do credit Netflix to

728
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: that we should put this thing and like Sey seventeen

729
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: hundred theaters and see what we can do. Because Netflix

730
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: doesn't really need to do that. I feel like they

731
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: care more about putting movies in theaters that are going

732
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: to be able to be nominated for Oscars, but here

733
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 1: if they can make more money from a big hit

734
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: on their hands, create a sense of community, create somebody

735
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: wanting to spend more money with their Netflix subscription, and

736
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: keeping that. I think that is a powerful thing, and

737
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: I think with Netflix not really having a movie with

738
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: Big Ip. This is one they're really gonna sink their

739
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: teeth into and really get all that they can out

740
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: of it. We're gonna start getting pop toys and more

741
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 1: merchandise out of this movie. So I think this could

742
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: be one of their flagship movies. So I'm glad if

743
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: there's a movie that they're going to really push like that,

744
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: it is one that is actually good for everybody. There

745
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: is something about going to the movies that I realize

746
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: some people think is weird, and that is going to

747
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: the movies alone. And I have been doing that my

748
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: entire life that I forgot that to some people that

749
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: feels a little bit awkward. But I am here to

750
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: tell you, if you are a fan of a movie

751
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: and want to go see it in theaters, don't think

752
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: twice about going to the movies alone. And I know

753
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: how weird it can feel. You think everybody's looking at you.

754
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: You think that other people who are there with friends

755
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: or family and a group of people are going to

756
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: look at you weird because you walk in with nobody.

757
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: Don't even think about that, nobody cares. You feel these

758
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: eyes on you, but they are not there. If you

759
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: want to go experience a movie in theaters and you're

760
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: worried about being a weirdo going alone. Don't even think

761
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: about it that way, because what you're gonna find is

762
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: that most everybody keeps to themselves. Nobody second guesses it,

763
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: and you're robbing yourself of that experience. So even with

764
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: the movie like this, if you wanted to go to

765
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: a sing along and you didn't have a friend to

766
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: go to because they don't like movies about K pop

767
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: demon hunters, don't rob yourself of that experience because going

768
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: to something like this, where maybe you don't know anybody,

769
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: you could find there's some real community there. You could

770
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: find other people who you don't even have to talk

771
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: to anybody, but maybe you do end up meeting somebody

772
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: who is also there alone. Because I think that is

773
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: what I love about going to the movies, is that

774
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: even though you are a room of strangers, in that moment,

775
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: you're all kind of in it together. You're all laughing

776
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 1: at the same parts, you're all cheering at the same parts,

777
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: and in this case, you're all singing along together. So

778
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: never let that worry of feeling like you're gonna be

779
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: a loser going to a movie alone and that is

780
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: coming from me, the biggest loser ever. When it comes

781
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,439
Speaker 1: to doing things alone without having friends, people aren't going

782
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: to think you're weird unless you go do something weird

783
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: and don't do that. Just please don't do that. So

784
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: when it comes to K Pop Demon Hunters, much like

785
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 1: Hunterricks in the movie, they were known for their three

786
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: part harmonies. This movie, to me also had a great

787
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: three part harmony with great music, great animation style, and

788
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: a story with heart because it left me just very

789
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: emotional at parts. So for K Pop Demon Hunters, I

790
00:41:55,080 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: give it four out of five Soda Pops, It's time

791
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: to head down to movie. Mike Traylor Paul are sports

792
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: movies trying to make a comeback because F One crushed

793
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: it earlier this year. And I know when we think

794
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: about sports movies, we probably think about the ones we

795
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: grew up with, sand Lant baseball movies, football movies like

796
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: Varsity Blues. F One still a sports movie, and even

797
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: though the race motorsports genre has been a thing for

798
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: a long time, it feels different. And I think that

799
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: is going to be the key excuse me, going to

800
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: be the key to sports movies returning. Is we have

801
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: to get away from those traditional sports and give us

802
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: things that we haven't seen done before. That is what

803
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,439
Speaker 1: movies are all about. Right now. You have to bring

804
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: us novel things, things that I have not seen or

805
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: witness with these eyeballs, or told in a way that

806
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: it's more unconventional, that feels new, that feels fresh, that

807
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like Disney just making a really great story

808
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 1: to a very just okay by the numbers type sports movie,

809
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: which still even though they are predictable at times, even

810
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: though they can be on the fringes of going full

811
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: out cheesy at any moment, I still love me a

812
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: good sports movie. But I think to make something that

813
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: is really impactful in twenty twenty five, going into twenty

814
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: twenty six, we have to look outside of those traditional

815
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: sports that we've kind of seen covered. Even F one

816
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 1: didn't really reinvent the racing motorsport genre, but it brought

817
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: us something great and something that demanded the big screen.

818
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: Could that be the case here with Marty Supreme starring

819
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: Timothy Shalomey, which is about a guy who plays table tennis.

820
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: It is based on a true story, although it's not

821
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: a biopick because the actual guy's name that it is

822
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 1: based on his name, Marty Riiseman, but in this movie

823
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: he goes by the name of Marty Mauser and then

824
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 1: takes on the persona of Marty Supreme. But it's about

825
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: his rise to fame in the nineteen fifties as he

826
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:07,320
Speaker 1: chases his dream of being a professional ping pong player.

827
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: The movie also starts Gwyneth Paltrow and a couple of

828
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: wild cards that I want to get into. But before

829
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: we do, here's just a little bit of the Marty

830
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: Supreme trailer.

831
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 3: I know it's hard to believe, but I'm telling you

832
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 3: this game at phil Stadiums overseas, and it's only a

833
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 3: matter of time before I'm staring at you from the

834
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:28,240
Speaker 3: cover of a Whitty's box.

835
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to control you, Martie. It's an acceptable

836
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: there's an acceptable to But I don't think you understand

837
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: the stakes. You have no power here. What do you

838
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 1: plan to do if this whole dream of yours doesn't

839
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: work at It doesn't even enter my consciousness. So even

840
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: though it is based on a true story, the actual

841
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: story in this movie is entirely fictional. So we have

842
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: a real life person Marty Riseman was an American ping

843
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: pong player who won twenty two major ping pong titles

844
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: from nineteen teen forty six all the way to two

845
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: thousand and two. I myself don't really know a whole

846
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: lot about table tennis. I remember the game on maybe

847
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: I think it was Xbox three sixty possibly PS three.

848
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: Rock Star made it, which is also the same company

849
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: that makes all the Grand Theft auto games, and it

850
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: was a really weird game for them to make. But

851
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 1: that is my extent of any experience playing this sport

852
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: is only playing it on Xbox three sixty. This movie

853
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: is coming out on Christmas Day of this year, directed

854
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: by Josh Safti, who you might think, why does that

855
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: name sound familiar? Maybe you heard this TikTok sound go

856
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 1: viral maybe two three years ago. It was Julia Fox

857
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: on call her daddy and she said this, I was

858
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,959
Speaker 1: Josh Safti's news when he wrote Uncut Jabs. So Josh

859
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: Safti is usually a part of a directing deal with

860
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: him and his brother Ben Safti, who have directed movies

861
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: like Good Time and like Julia Fox said there in

862
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: that clip uncut Gems, this is the first time he's

863
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: done a solo movie since two thousand and eight. Normally

864
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: it's him and his brother teaming up, but his brother

865
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: has been busy this year. He's about to put out

866
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: The Smashing Machine with a twenty four that stars The Rock.

867
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: So two incredibly talented directors who not only can come

868
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,919
Speaker 1: together and make great movies as a directing brother duo,

869
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: but also separately now really starting to just dominate when

870
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: it comes to making movies like this, movies that you

871
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: didn't think were going to be good, which, of course

872
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: I haven't seen this movie yet, but whenever this movie

873
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: was first announced that Timothy Chalomey would be starring alongside

874
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: Gwyneth Paltrow in a movie about a guy who's really

875
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: great at table tennis, directed by Josh Safti, I was like,

876
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: how is this movie even going to make sense? And

877
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: from the moment I heard what this movie was about,

878
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: and then when I heard who was all in this cast,

879
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: because you also have one of my favorites, Tyler the Creator,

880
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: who is not really an actor yet. He's kind of

881
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: dipping his toes into the waters, which I think a

882
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: lot of musicians have done, some have had. I had

883
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 1: successful careers crossing over. Some became more famous as actors

884
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: than they ever were as musicians. I love his music

885
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: so much. He is the one artist who I've still

886
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 1: not seen in concert that is on my bucket list.

887
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of in a year right now where

888
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to concerts because they are so expensive.

889
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: I have to be really driven to go see an

890
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: artist and want to spend that amount of money. And

891
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: he is up there on that list of mine, but

892
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: has just not come to Nashville. But I will go

893
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 1: see him for the low price of fifty five cents

894
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: using my Regal Unlimited in Marty Supreme on Christmas Day.

895
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: The movie also stars fran Drescher, who you probably remember

896
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: best as the Nanny. And the most oddball casting in

897
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: Marty Supreme has to be Kevin O'Leary, the Kevin O'Leary

898
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: from Shark Tank, and he plays a rich guy in

899
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: this movie as well, So maybe it's not that much

900
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: of a stretch, but I just did not expect to

901
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: see him in this trailer and think, oh, man, he

902
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: can actually kind of act, because he is my least

903
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: favorite shark on Shark Tank just because man, dude loves

904
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: a royalty deal. And I think the reason he is

905
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: so successful in business is because he knows what he wants,

906
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: He knows what he wants to pay for things. He

907
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: will cut you down in an instant. And even though

908
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: I hate him sometimes on that show, I realize he

909
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: is doing his job because he is supposed to be

910
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: the villain on that show. And just the fact that

911
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: maybe I hate on him because he is so successful

912
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: that I wanted to see him in this trailer and think, ah,

913
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: look there's something that you can't do well. You can't

914
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: do everything. And then I see him and he looks

915
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: so convincing. It looks like he was perfectly cast. And

916
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: it's just such an oddball pairing of all these people.

917
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: It was almost like they put a bunch of actors'

918
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: names into a hat and just pick them out randomly

919
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 1: that I don't think anybody would think this is my

920
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 1: dream cast for a movie. I would never put Fran

921
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: Dresher next to Tyler the Creator, But somehow I think

922
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: this is going to work. It reminds me much of

923
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 1: whenever they first made the Facebook move, and you thought, man,

924
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: they're making a movie about Facebook. That is going to

925
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: be so stupid. But then David Fincher proved us all

926
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 1: wrong and drop a banger back in the twenty tens,

927
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: and I'll compare it to one of my favorite activities

928
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 1: to do what I'm feeling overwhelmed. When I'm just fload

929
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: it up to my neck in anxiety. Sometimes I'll go

930
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: over to YouTube and I'll watch old Bob Ross videos.

931
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 1: He was that famous painter did the joy of painting.

932
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 1: He had the big afro, and he talks in such

933
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: a calming voice. He paints happy little clouds, and I

934
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: would watch that show and think, man, after listening to

935
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: him and watching his tutorials, I think I too could

936
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: be an artist. Because sometimes he would just take a

937
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: big blob of black and throw it on this canvas

938
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: and say, I'm gonna turn this thing into a mountain.

939
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: And that thing is just like right there in the

940
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: dead center, and it looks so awful. He had just

941
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 1: painted this beautiful sky, all these happy little clouds. It

942
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: looks so perfect, and then he just drops this big

943
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: black blob and I'm like, man, you just ruined it.

944
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: But then he starts to just kind of paint away

945
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: at this big black blob with some white and he

946
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: fades it a little bit, these little brushstrokes that he does.

947
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: It suddenly starts to fade into the background, and then

948
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: it goes from being this big black blob to being

949
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: this beautiful mountain with a snowy top. And it came

950
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: out of nothing, and it came at a point where

951
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: you thought, there's no way this is going to work

952
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: and be beautiful, and now here it is a beautiful

953
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: painting with a beautiful mountain. That is how I feel

954
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: from the moment I learned about this movie, from the

955
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: moment I learned about the cast, and now at the

956
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 1: first look of it, thinking, man, this all makes sense.

957
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: This all came together beautifully, much like that mountain side

958
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 1: that Bob Ross painted on the joy of painting, And

959
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: sometimes all you need is that visionary, that artist like

960
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: Josh Safti to bring all of these lovely colors together.

961
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: In this case, it would be all the actors and

962
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: use his camera much like Bob Ross wood a paintbrush

963
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,399
Speaker 1: to create something special. The movie is also coming out

964
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day of this year, so it is right

965
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,479
Speaker 1: smack dab there in the middle of Oscar season, which,

966
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: if I know something about Timothy chalomag is he is

967
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: hungry for an Oscar. He gave it as all last year,

968
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 1: got really close playing Bob Dylan in a Complete Unknown,

969
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: but didn't quite get there. He is somebody who is

970
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: hungry for it. He stays working, he stays busy, He

971
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: picks the directors he wants to work with to get

972
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: him to that goal because I truly believe that is

973
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: on his vision board and he will not rest until

974
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:44,359
Speaker 1: he wins an Oscar for Best Actor year after year.

975
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: For the last three or four years now, he has

976
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: given his best effort to do that, which I feel

977
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: like at some point he thought, maybe I'll just do

978
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: a fun movie where it kind of be myself what

979
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,439
Speaker 1: he did do Don't look Up a few years ago,

980
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: but that was more of a quick cameo. He is

981
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: not at that point yet where he's just going to

982
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: do a movie for fun if he is going to

983
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: invest his time in it. Right now, I believe he

984
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: is only going to do it if it's gonna get

985
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: him at least at minimum an Oscar nomination. But I

986
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: think with a movie like this, with just what I

987
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: see so far from his performance in the trailer, he

988
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: goes all in and he wants to take home that

989
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: golden trophy to hang it over his bed, which he

990
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 1: still looks really young to me. He's twenty nine years old,

991
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 1: But to me, I just envisioned him still living in

992
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: a college dorm room, sleeping on a mattress that's just

993
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: laid out on the floor, still has posters up on

994
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: his wall with thumbtacks, but probably he lives in a

995
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: really nice house. I think. Allegedly he's still dating Kylie Jenner,

996
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: even though there was rumors about them breaking up, them

997
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: not being able to spend time together because of how

998
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: busy he's been filming all of his movies. He's working

999
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 1: on Dooing three right now, so I truly believe he

1000
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: will not rest until he is up there on that

1001
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: stage delivering his speech, crying into the camera saying I

1002
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: can't believe it. I finally want an Oscar. But out

1003
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 1: of everything in this trailer, I'm still the most excited

1004
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: to see Tyler the creator and hopefully that will lead

1005
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: him to doing more movies and eventually maybe he is

1006
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 1: somebody that is on my list as a dream interview

1007
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 1: could end up on this podcast. But again, Marty Supreme

1008
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,720

Speaker 1: review and SAID i absolutely loved the. MOVIE i am

1031
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: not a fan of the horror comedy, genre but this

1032
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 1: one has the lol moments at the right. Time the

1033
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: scare factor in this one is four out of. Five

1034
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: it also more deeply gave a commentary on how we

1035
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: enable people and entities to control our. LIVES a must.

1036
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: SEE i appreciate That invincible five nine six. TWO i,

1037
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: too was raving so much about weapons last, week to

1038
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: the point THAT i thought MAYBE i raved about it

1039
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: too much because people are going to go see it

1040
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: now and be, like, man this is so. Overhyped BUT

1041
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: i highly recommend it even if you're not the biggest

1042
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: fan of, horror BECAUSE i do believe it leans more

1043
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 1: on the thriller. SIDE i, think, though in the, marketing

1044
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: to sell that movie as a horror movie is probably

1045
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: more exciting and the way to. Go but Like invincible

1046
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: said here in this, COMMENT i think there is a

1047
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: much deeper message. THERE i Think Zach kreiger put a

1048
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,760
Speaker 1: lot of his own real life experiences into this, story

1049
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 1: into these, characters so like any good horror, movie there's

1050
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: way more to dig into than just the scary things

1051
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 1: that pop out and scare. You so appreciate that. Comment
