38
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: this is the one, you know, but it just.

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: Didn't, you know, test well and people played it. But

40
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: it got to thirty three and then we put up

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: on I know, and we got to put the album out, and.

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: Which is a big deal because you have to have

43
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: some momentum in that single yeah for them to go okay, well,

44
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: now put some money behind over a full album.

45
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 4: And it was a full album, had eleven songs on it,

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 4: and it changed the van life basically and so, but

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 4: what my point is of California Sunrise, there's four years

48
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: of writing and being on the radio. Regardless of what

49
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: you know, I still was always top forty because I

50
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: still have believers in country radio. No matter how high,

51
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 4: what failures, whatever it, I still believe like we got

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 4: in the label. Was always like, it's not a race,

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 4: it's a marathon. You know, you got to take your

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: time and like just keep doing what you're doing.

55
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: Can you believe that what was happening?

56
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 4: You know, I never really got too worked up about

57
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 4: it because you know, if you did listen to what

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 4: I was doing, it was kind of it was kind

59
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 4: of different, you know, country, but it was upbeat, but

60
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 4: it was the country. And I kind of came to

61
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 4: my own like I'm still growing up. I was only

62
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 4: I got signed at twenty six, and I don't even know.

63
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: I don't even know, I don't remember, but I'm still

64
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: growing up as like a into a young man, into

65
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: a man. And I got to do that with the

66
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: record label and kind of under.

67
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: The radar, you know, not like just boom here I

68
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 2: am world.

69
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 4: I kind of got to learn it all and not

70
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 4: be like the the headliner you know where it's just

71
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: like because you know sometimes like boom, I'm here, and

72
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 4: it wasn't like that for me, and then I kind

73
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: of became this, you know, this is this is who

74
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: I am. When California Sunrise came out and I had

75
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 4: friends on I worked at radio, friends that listen to

76
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 4: my music, people are giving me great advice and all

77
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 4: that just through hard work, and what California Sunrise was

78
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 4: me is like this is what I This is the

79
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: new take on that. Four years of radio touring, country, fiddle, steel,

80
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: you know, all the stuff I I love, And it

81
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 4: was just at that point.

82
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: I remember you posted an Instagram video probably two years

83
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: ago and it was at a festival and the entire

84
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: crowd was singing head over Boots. I remember a message

85
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: You're going good God, like it's this is amazing like that.

86
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: They were singing all of it.

87
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 2: Watershit.

88
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: It was Watershed, yeah, in George Comma Washington.

89
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. And it was the Gorge.

90
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Gorge.

91
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: I probably speiled the room. It was so exciting. Is

92
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: it Gorge not George, No, it's the Gorge. I've played

93
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: that well.

94
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: I played Watershed. I always thought it was George Washington.

95
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: I thought it was the Gorge and George.

96
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: I mean, it's cooler George Washington. I always thought that

97
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: was the thing.

98
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: I was like, name George Washington. Did you ever think that,

99
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: my dear, I thought it was a gorge. Oh it

100
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: is called the Gorge. I thought it was the Gorge

101
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: and George. Anyway, I'm an idiot. But moving on, I

102
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: remember watching that video and going, oh, this has now

103
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: arrived on kind of a macro level. It's not just

104
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: a song, and that it's cool and it's gonna come

105
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: and go like it's still the one when you have

106
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: a whole thirty forty thousand singing every word of.

107
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: The Yeah, give me something that again.

108
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: I mean.

109
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 2: The whole crowd was out of their minds singing that song. Bonkers.

110
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: It was fun. That was the That was the first.

111
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: That was probably one of the most surreal, like, wow,

112
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: this is the first, you know, he kind of get

113
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 4: emotional and stuff, and it was that was that was

114
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: really cool. And uh, I always I always remember that

115
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 4: because that specifical here we go with them words. But

116
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 4: that slot was, uh we finally got you know a

117
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: little later on and like Merle Haggart was supposed to

118
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 4: play either I think right in front of me or

119
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: right behind me. I don't know. It was like, you know,

120
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 4: but he passed like two months before and then being

121
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 4: came out and played before us, and it was like

122
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 4: kind of crazy that like with that moment and Merle

123
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 4: Haggard was, you know, going to play right for me,

124
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 4: which probably would have been like, no, Marl's not playing

125
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 4: before me, but it was like he just passed it,

126
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: and it was It's one of those things like dang,

127
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 4: you know, uh from that crowd and that kind of

128
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 4: just that introspect of me and Merle would play together

129
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 4: and it didn't happen. You know, It's one of the

130
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 4: moments I'll never forget.

131
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good one, just watching it so that

132
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: that hits. And then it was like, all right, what's

133
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: happening next with John Party?

134
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: He had head over Boots.

135
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: Surelye's not gonna put another song of Boots in it?

136
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: And then boy did you ever?

137
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

Speaker 3: I mean and you raised it.

139
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean you saw Boots and you raised that funkier

140
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: Boots man.

141
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's that conversation?

142
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 5: Like where you go?

143
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: All right, we got another song that we love, but

144
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: its name is basically the same thing. What do we

145
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: do is that a room conversation everybody's sitting around.

146
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: Well, I you know, I researched a lot. I you know,

147
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: I listen.

Speaker 2: Like I do pay attention.

154
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: And I pointed out that Keith Urban had two yeah

155
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 4: at that year, he had cop car and then somewhere

156
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 4: in my car. And I was like, well, this is

157
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 4: another car song, another Boots song out, you know. And

158
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 4: my favorite was the president of Universal, Mike Dungan, was like,

159

Speaker 5: parents took us to church. Came in five times a week.

353
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,160

355
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 5: and then we went to Wednesday church. So we were

356
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 5: in seventh grade. Dude, none of my friends went to church.

357
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 5: Were the only kids who went to church seventh grade.

358
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 5: After sports practice, we had to then go to church.

359
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: So we started I hope moms doesn't listen.

360
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,960

Speaker 7: body print is right there in the wall.

444
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 5: As a construction man, though, Pops can pretty much repair

445
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 5: that pretty quickly.

446
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

447
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 7: But if you asked my mom, she would say Pops

448
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 7: was a construction man when he had to go fix

449
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 7: other people's houses at our house. He wasn't really quick

450
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 7: on getting that fixed. That's just according to my mom.

451
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 7: I would never say that. I would never say that

452
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 7: would be according to mine. How did he do the

453
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 7: exact body print?

454
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: You know, he fell?

455
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 7: It wasn't exact body print, but I'm saying he fell.

456
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 7: It was wallpaper and it was the bottom of it,

457
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 7: but back boom. I mean the whole thing was indented

458
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 7: and it was like, uh oh, and there's no way

459
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 7: to hide that. Ye, no way to hide that. But

460
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 7: Pops eventually fixed it. But yeah, he my brother just

00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 7: laid there and he was like uh oh, uh oh.

00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 7: the time Mom gets down the stairs, I don't think

475
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 7: that was gonna happen.

476
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 6: Hey, it's Mike d and this week a movie Mike's

477
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 6: Movie Podcast, I shared my top ten favorite movies.

478
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: Of the last year.

479
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 6: In twenty twenty three, I also shared my top ten

480
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 6: worst movies and top ten honorable mentions. I did an

481
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 6: entire hour long special, but right now here are movies

482
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 6: ten through six on my list. Check out the full

483
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 6: episode to hear the rest. At number ten, I have

484
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 6: Killers of the Flower Moon, which I gave a four

485
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 6: out of five. The movie cost two hundred million dollars

486
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 6: to make and as of now, has only made one

487
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty four million dollars at the box office.

488
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 6: It is an Apple original film from legendary director Martin Scorsese,

489
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 6: and for that reason alone is why this movie was

490
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 6: one of my most anticipated.

491
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 3: Movies of the year. Didn't quite live up to all

492
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: the expectations I had for it.

493
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 6: I honestly thought a Scorsese movie with de Niro and

494
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 6: Leonardo DiCaprio well be in my top five. So this

495
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 6: movie was great, I don't deny that, but it could

496
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 6: have been perfect. I think also the three and a

497
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 6: half hour runtime really pushed it down in my rating

498
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 6: system because it is hard to recommend the three and

499
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 6: a half hour movie.

500
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 3: It feels like such an investment. But going to see

501
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 3: this movie in theaters, I really truly believe.

502
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 6: That it warranted that runtime. I thought it was gonna

503
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 6: be so hard to sit there for that amount of time,

504
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 6: but honestly, it went by pretty quick because the storytelling

505
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 6: was so compelling. So it was a great movie, but

506
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 6: it could have been perfect. That's why I put it

507
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 6: at number ten. At number nine is a comedy that

508
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 6: I said is one of the best in five years.

509
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 6: It is called Bottoms. I give it a four point

510
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 6: five out of five. It's from Oreon Studios. The movie

511
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 6: cost eleven point three million dollars to make and went

512
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 6: on to earn twelve point eight million at the box office,

513
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 6: so a little bit of a profit there for a

514
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 6: smaller film. The movie is about two unpopular high school

515
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 6: students who start a fight club in order to hook

516
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 6: up with other people in high school. And the reason

517
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 6: I wanted to include this movie on my list and

518
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 6: made sure that it made my top ten one because

519
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 6: it's the most fun I had at the movies. I

520
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 6: watched it in a pack theater where everybody was just

521
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 6: there to have a good time, and that is what

522
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 6: a great comedy movie does.

523
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: But also a criticism I see a.

524
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 6: Lot of film right now is that there aren't any

525
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 6: original movies that aren't a sequel or associated with some

526
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 6: type of property.

527
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 3: And this is a completely original movie. So I want

528
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: to say here it is.

529
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 6: It's right here to all those saying that there hasn't

530
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 6: been a great comedy since the two thousands.

531
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 3: Or twenty tens. One came out this.

532
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 6: Year, but you look at the box office numbers and

533
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 6: it doesn't represent what I think that it should. But

534
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 6: obviously with a lower budget, it didn't have the marketing.

535
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 6: It also came out during the strike, so I feel

536
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 6: even more so it went a little bit unnoticed. So

537
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 6: I just want to stream that there are great original

538
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 6: movies being made, and not only that, really fun unique stories.

539
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 6: And I would put this movie up there with the

540
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 6: super Bads, the forty year old versions, the wedding crashers.

541
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 6: We need to be focusing more on movies like this

542
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 6: because we're all going to be referencing movies that are

543
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 6: twenty plus years old that kids today don't get. So

544
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 6: if you haven't seen Bottoms yet, I highly highly recommend

545
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 6: it obviously because it's in my top ten list of

546
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 6: the year.

547
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 3: So at number nine on my list is Bottoms.

548
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 6: Moving on to number eight, I went with Past Lives

549
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 6: from Studio A twenty four.

550
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 3: I gave it a four out of five rating.

551
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 6: The movie costs a mere twelve million dollars to make

552
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 6: and is made over twenty one million dollars at the

553
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 6: box office. The story is really simple. It's about two

554
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 6: childhood friends. One is a male, one is a female,

555
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 6: and the female Nora, moves from South Korea where they

556
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 6: grew up to the United States and they reconnect decades

557
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 6: later and go on to spend a week together. But

558
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 6: the entire movie is their journey throughout their friendship, and

559
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 6: it's a story that just pulls at your heartstrings, almost unexpectedly,

560
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 6: like there was a moment in this movie that made

561
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 6: me cry, which I'm going to reference every movie on

562
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 6: this list that made me cry. So we have the

563
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 6: first entry here, and the real reason that this movie

564
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 6: made it on my list is because it made me

565
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 6: believe in filmmaking.

566
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 3: Again.

567
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 6: What you have here is just a great screenplay, perfectly

568
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 6: executed with direction and great acting, and also just the

569
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 6: look and feel of this movie just feels like a

570
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 6: warm hug when you need a friend on a fall day.

571
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 3: That is what this movie is.

572
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 6: And it also just brings all these emotions out of

573
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 6: you when it comes to love and friendship and destiny.

574
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 6: And it did it all in one hour and forty

575
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 6: six minutes. So that is a feat within its own.

576
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 6: So at number eight, I have Past Lives. Moving on

577
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 6: now to number seven, I have The Iron Claw, one

578
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 6: of the latest trees on this list, also coming to

579
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 6: us from A twenty four. I give it a four

580
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 6: point five out of five rating. The movie cost sixteen

581
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 6: million dollars to make and as of now, has only

582
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 6: made eleven million dollars, but it's only been in theaters

583
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 6: for a couple of weeks. And I will admit, as

584
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 6: much as I loved wrestling as a kid, I grew

585
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 6: up in the Attitude era, which was the late nineties

586
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 6: early two thousands, and I learned a lot about history,

587
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 6: but it was a lot just rooted in those characters.

588
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: So the Rock and Stone Cold and Mankind.

589
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 6: Triple Age DX, all of those types of wrestlers were

590
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 6: my favorite. I went back and learned about Andre the

591
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 6: Giant Hogan early Undertaker. But as much as I loved wrestling,

592
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 6: and at one point in my life I even wanted

593
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 6: to grow up to be a professional wrestler, I was

594
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 6: not that familiar with the von Erick brothers.

595
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 3: And even the fact that I grew up in Wakstatchi, Texas,

596
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 3: which is so.

597
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 6: Close to where they grew up and they were based

598
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 6: in Dallas, that was just unfamiliar with their story. But

599
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 6: maybe that is why this movie was also so much

600
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 6: more impactful because I didn't know anything going into it.

601
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 6: But the movie is about the von Eric brothers, of course,

602
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 6: and the relationship with their dad and the family curse

603
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 6: where a lot of awful things happened to them, and

604
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 6: it all revolves really around wrestling and the strict nature

605
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 6: of their dad.

606
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 3: The acting in this movie was great.

607
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 6: The actual wrestling part of it wasn't even the main

608
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 6: focus of it. It was all the behind the scenes

609
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 6: stuff and it's a movie that you don't feel good

610
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 6: after watching it, but it made me cry. Well, add

611
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 6: another one to the list. This movie made me cry,

612
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 6: and it really wasn't until almost the very end where

613
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 6: it got me. Because even as all of these really

614
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 6: sad things are happening, it never really like picked that

615
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 6: scab for me, but then once this one line hit,

616
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 6: I was like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna lose it.

617
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 6: So I think I want to give this movie a

618
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 6: full proper movie review like I do normally because of

619
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 6: all the things I want to dive into. But this

620
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 6: wouldn't be a complete list if I did not include

621
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 6: this movie because I loved it so much. So at

622
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 6: number seven, I have the iron Claw.

623
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,840
