1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mix Movie Podcast. I 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: am your host movie Mike. Today I want to share 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: with you my list of Pixar characters that should get 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: their own solo movies. This is all because light Year 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: is out in theaters now, and despite it not having 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: as much as success as maybe pis are anticipated, I 7 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 1: think it's an interesting topic to explore, so I'll give 8 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: you my ideas. I'll also give you my spoiler free 9 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 1: review of light Year, a movie that I did not 10 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: expect to be as controversial as it is, and then 11 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: in the trailer park, we'll look at a new movie 12 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: called Lyle Lyle Crocodile, which is a new fantasy family 13 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: movie coming out later this fall. Shout out to the 14 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: Monday Morning Movie crew if you're new to the podcast 15 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: and don't know what that is. That is all the 16 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: listeners here of the podcast who listen on Monday, which 17 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: is when new episodes come out. So that's all you 18 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: have to do to be a part of that. You 19 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: guys already know what this is. Let's talk movies. In 20 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 21 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 22 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast a man with so 23 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: much movie knowledge he's basically like a walking on MTV 24 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: classes from the Nashville Podcast Network Movie Movie Podcast. There 25 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: have been twenty six Pixar movies since the first Pixar 26 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: movie came out in which was Toy Story. Only five 27 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: of those movies have sequels, and that is Toy Story, Cars, Monsters, Inc. 28 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: The Incredibles, and Finding Nemo all have various sequels. Pixar 29 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: doesn't make a whole lot of them. But now what 30 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: they are getting into is creating solo movies for characters, 31 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: which I think is pretty interesting. We had that was 32 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: Finding Dory, and now again with light Year, and Finding 33 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: Dory was pretty successful. Light Year was not as successful 34 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: as they were anticipating, which I'll get into that more 35 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: in the movie review. But I think this is an 36 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: interesting concept, and if Pixar isn't gonna make a whole 37 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: lot of sequels to movies, I really think there's something 38 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: they're in creating solo origin stories of some of these characters, 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: or just seeing how certain of our favorite Pixar characters 40 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: lived out the rest of their story. So I've come 41 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: up with a few of my ideas. Some that I 42 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: think maybe need prequels some I think that their story 43 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: continues on after the movies we saw them in. So 44 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: I want to start first with the idea of Pixar 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: getting into a villain origin story, which I love me 46 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: a good villain origin story. And the first villain that 47 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: comes to mind is from Toy Story three a lot So. 48 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: He has this large, magenta, pink strawberry scented teddy Bear, 49 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: the one who basically rules over the Sunnyside Daycare in 50 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: Toy Story three. At the beginning of the movie, you 51 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: think he's this most lovable and caring guy, and the 52 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: movie takes such a dark turn and twist when he 53 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: realized that he's actually the villain. And I think that's 54 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: why Toy Story three was so superior, is they were 55 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: able to create this entirely new setting for the toys 56 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: to go be in and create these really dynamic characters 57 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: like lots So, which really made the most emotional point 58 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: in that movie, just have so much more weight to it. 59 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: And I think lots It was such a great And 60 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: again we're only talking about Pixar here. If we did, 61 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: Disney would be here all day, but just Pixar movies. 62 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: I think he's just the best Pixar villain I've ever 63 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: seen one that. Even though it was a kids movie, 64 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: I utterly hated lots So, But I think there's something 65 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: there because in the movie they do dive into his 66 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: backstory of how he once had somebody who he really 67 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: cared about in that person left him behind and discarded him, 68 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: and he took that pain and suffering and applied it 69 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: to his life at Sunnyside Daycare Center, where he feels 70 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: like he can make the rules, like he can judge 71 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: the fate of other toys. So I think there's something 72 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: dark and twisted embedded into lots So that I think 73 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: a movie exploring how he goes from being a nice 74 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: toy to having the sudden snap and then a reign 75 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: of terror on other toy toy. So I think you 76 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: could follow it from the very beginning of him finding 77 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: his kid, him having that joy and then getting ripped 78 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: apart from that, and then you can put him in 79 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: Sunnyside Daycare Center and it takes place to prior from 80 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: what he's showing up. Maybe another unfamiliar toy comes into play, 81 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: and I guess things wouldn't work out entirely well for 82 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: this character in this case, because he will continue on 83 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: into Toy Story three. Maybe that's a little too dark 84 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: and demented, But if I was calling the shots here, 85 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: that is the Pixar solo movie I would like to 86 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: see made. Now, Let's keep it in the Toy Story franchise. 87 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: Let's keep it in the villain origin story. Another one 88 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: of my favorite villains also comes from Toy Story, and 89 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: it is said Phillips who said is the villain in 90 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 1: Toy Story. He is Andy's evil next door neighbor, much 91 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: like Andy, except for the fact that he likes to 92 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: do horrible things to his toys. He likes to strap 93 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: fireworks to them, he likes to mutilate them. He does 94 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: not treat his toys well. And you see that play 95 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: out when Woody goes over there. He gets to experience 96 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: at firsthand of how he mutilates his sister's toys. But 97 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: then at the end of the movie he has changed 98 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: after he sees the toys come to life and it 99 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: freaks him out. So I think for his story instead 100 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: of the prequel, you get what happens after this experience. 101 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: He's just been traumatized because of these toys he's been terrorizing. 102 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: Now they're alive. Now they freaked him out. How does 103 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 1: he go on with the rest of his life after 104 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: experiencing that, after having this newfound toy trauma. What I 105 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: think happens to Sid is he probably gets for at 106 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: least a little bit more sympathy towards his toys. He 107 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: takes care of them, he doesn't blow them up, He 108 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: becomes a better kid. But then after a while he 109 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: starts to forget about that and starts to revert to 110 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: his old ways. He starts to be like, well, maybe 111 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: just for old time's sake, I strike a match up 112 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: and light this toy on fire. And then he messes 113 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: with the wrong toys again, and you have another retaliation 114 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: story where people overtake Sid again, and then he is 115 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: completely and utterly left devastated after it happens again. And 116 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: remember that in Toy Story three you also get a 117 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: glimpse of Sid. There's a scene where there is a 118 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: dump truck going by and the worker who gets off 119 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: the truck is wearing the same t shirt is Sid. 120 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: So you're kind of led to believe at the time 121 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: that Andy is going on to college said is there 122 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: working taking out the trash. So maybe it's his journey 123 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: to that job, and who knows, maybe the sid does 124 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: find happiness after going through all of this utterly strange experience. 125 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: But I think that would be a fun story to explore. Now, 126 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: my next idea is also a villain origin story. We 127 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: have a theme here, but we're getting out of toy 128 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: story and I want to move on to The Incredibles 129 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: from two thousand and four. I think with this one, 130 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: we look at the life of Syndrome, who is real 131 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: name in the movie is Buddy Pine and he is 132 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: first referred to as Incredible Boy, and he is the 133 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: main villain in The Incredibles. He is voiced by one 134 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: of my favorite actors, Jason Lee, who you may remember 135 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: from My Name is Earl. He was also in one 136 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: of my favorite Kevin Smith movies called Mall Rats. He's 137 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: been on a lot of things. I just really like 138 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: his voice as Syndrome, and I think he could really 139 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: make this idea come to life because he does a 140 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: really great job as Syndrome. So for Syndrome, I think 141 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: the treatment is kind of like the Joker's origin story, 142 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: because we did see in The Incredibles that's all he 143 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: wants to do. He wants to be a superhero, but 144 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: he is told that he doesn't have what it takes 145 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: to become a superhero, and in turn ends up becoming 146 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: a super villain. I think there's something to that when 147 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: you see somebody have, you know, this really big joy 148 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: and this really big drive to do something amazing, but 149 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: then they're told there can't, and something snapped inside of that. 150 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: They go into this really dark place that makes them 151 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: go from wanting to do good to wanting to do bad. 152 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: And I think that's why the character syndrome is so great, 153 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: and I feel like this could be Pixar's darkest story yet. 154 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: And you take this incredible boy and you watch his 155 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: descent into madness, how every little thing gets worse and worse, 156 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: and suddenly he becomes the greatest super villain, at least 157 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: in the world of the incredible. It's also kind of 158 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: despicable me ish, where yes, he is doing bad things, 159 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: he is seen as a villain, but there's also a 160 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: little bit of playfulness to it. There's a little bit 161 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: of fun to it, so it doesn't have to go 162 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: as dark as maybe some of the other ideas I've 163 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: shared here. Maybe there are even some cases where he 164 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: wants to do evil things, but that kid inside of 165 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: him who wanted to be a hero this entire time 166 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: still forces him to do the right thing. So that 167 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: could also be a good lesson to kids. Sometimes you 168 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: feel anger and hate inside of you, but deep down 169 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: you know they should probably do the right thing and 170 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: be good to other people. That could be the story 171 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: of Syndrome. Another Pixar character that I think should get 172 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: their solo movie is a Russell from Up. You may 173 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: remember him as the eight year old Wilderness Explore, the 174 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: cutest little kid and Up and Russell was missing his 175 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: assisting the elderly patching Up. So he shows up to 176 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: Karl Frederickson's doorstep and that leads him to the events 177 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: of Up, which is a fantastic Pixar movie. Visually. I 178 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: remember watching that movie in theater several times, and I 179 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: think that was one that I didn't love the three 180 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: D to it, but I felt like it did add 181 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: a little element to the animation, so I was cool 182 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: with that one. I saw that one a couple of 183 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: times in three D, but when it came to the 184 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: side characters, I thought they were amazing. Russell was my favorite, 185 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: along with Doug, who has had his own little short 186 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: outside of UP. But I think Russell is the one 187 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: who deserves a solo movie, and I think it has 188 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: to take place clearly after UP, because he's this eight 189 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: year old kid who just went on this amazing adventure 190 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: that none of his friends at school are going to believe. 191 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: And he goes back and tries to tell them all 192 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: these stories and they probably still think he is not 193 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: that cool. He goes back to his Wilderness Explorer club 194 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: and still feels like he has something else to prove, 195 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: and goes on yet another adventure. I just think the 196 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: idea of exploring his life a little bit more, what 197 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: it's like for him at home, what it's like for 198 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: him at school, maybe him and Doug pair up and 199 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: at some point go visit Carl again. I just think 200 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: he was such a fun and lasting character from Up 201 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: that we haven't seen anything from him yet. So if 202 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: I were handing out solo Pixar movies, I would give 203 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: one to Russell. Also on my list here from Inside Out, 204 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: I thought bing Bong was one of Pixar's supporting characters 205 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: that had one of the darkest backstories to them. If 206 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: you don't remember, he's that pink elephant. Now, Riley was 207 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: the main character and inside Out, and bing Bong was 208 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: the imaginary friend that she created when she was about 209 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: three years old, and as time goes on, she forgets 210 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: about him, so he has this really kind of dark 211 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: backstory of him still existing inside of Riley, him not 212 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: wanting to go away, and then in the darkest turn ever, 213 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: which Pixar is the best at making you feel, he 214 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: sacrifices himself to save her. And I just love the 215 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: world that inside Out created of all these things that 216 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: live inside a kid's mind, and I think bing Bong 217 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: is the best example of that, and I think exploring 218 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,239 Speaker 1: that world a little bit more would be pretty fascinating, 219 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: especially coming from bing Bong's perspective of somebody who has 220 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: felt a little bit discarded, a little bit mistreated, and 221 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: overall just a little bit lonely, which I think is 222 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: an interesting feeling that Pixar could explore a little bit more, 223 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: because kids feel lonely. I remember feeling lonely a lot 224 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: of the kid doing things and creating, you know, scenarios 225 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 1: in my head, which I feel is what bing Bong 226 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: had to do a lot to make it tolerable for 227 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: him to live. So I think him dealing with that, 228 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: but also going on some kind of adventure that helps 229 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: him get to the point to where he meets the 230 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: characters that Inside Out creates, and that whole plot kind 231 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: of meets together. I think would be a pretty cool 232 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: origin story, a pretty cool prequel to Inside Out. A 233 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: couple more that I wanted to share with you. I 234 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: felt like this year, Turning Red should have had more 235 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: attention than it got. I know, they put it out 236 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: on Disney Plus, and I feel like a lot of 237 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: people did watch it, but maybe we didn't talk about 238 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: it a whole lot. I thought the animation style and 239 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: Turning Red was kind of a breath of fresh air. 240 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: I like the mixing of like the anime and the 241 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: early two thousands. I like the time period that this 242 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: movie existed in. I like that they created this fictional 243 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: band called for Town, which was an embodiment of all 244 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: the boy bands in the early two housands. Obviously it's 245 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: a playoff of Oh Town, but it's a feeling of 246 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: like taking some of in Sync and Backstreet Boys ninety 247 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: degrees and putting them all into this fictional boy band. 248 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: That plays a pretty significant part at least in the 249 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: background of the entire story, and then you see a 250 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: little bit more of them towards the end of it. 251 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: But I think it would be interesting for Pixar to 252 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: kind of take on something I haven't seen before. I 253 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: think it would be interesting for them to do maybe 254 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: a bit of a mockumentary, maybe a bit of a 255 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: musical biopic of four Town. It would play out just 256 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: like any other music biopic. There's these four kids who 257 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: are either trying to make it in music, they're just 258 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: friends and get presented with this idea of being turned 259 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: into superstars, and then you follow that rise to fame. 260 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: How they go from just being normal kids to being 261 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: these huge pop stars that have an arena of people, 262 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: a stadium even of people there to see them, And 263 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: what that effect of fame had as on their friendships, 264 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: has on their life at home with their family, and 265 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: overall just how it feels to achieve your dreams, which 266 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: some good comes with that, but also some bad comes 267 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: with that. I think there's a lesson to be told there, 268 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: especially for kids who they see their favorite pop stars, 269 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: they see their favorite YouTubers and Tiktoker's and I think 270 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: once you get this level of fame, you get all 271 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: this money, you get all the recognition and love from people, 272 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: you think everything is going to be great and fine, 273 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: but maybe don't know a whole lot about the downside 274 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: of that. Again, back to the loneliness, the feeling that 275 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: you don't have any private moments anymore, and then dealing 276 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: with the struggle of how something you loved is now 277 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: your career what does that look like? And I assume 278 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: it's especially even harder for a global sensation like the 279 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: band that is for Town. So I think discussing that 280 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: in an animated musical biopic that is based on a 281 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: fictional band would be something interesting, and that's why I 282 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: put it on my list. And then finally, I want 283 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: to go back to the first ever animated Pixar short. Now, 284 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: this movie was created shortly after Toy Story, which was 285 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: the first Pixar movie, and it was the first ever 286 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: Pixar short. It was featured before A Bug's Life, which 287 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: is the second Pixar movie ever, and the movie was 288 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: called Jerry's Game. It was the short film that I 289 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: remember watching because I had A Bug's Life on VHS 290 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: and I would play it from the very beginning, and 291 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: it was the short film called Jerry's Game, which you 292 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: probably recognize the elderly man. He's made a few other 293 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: cameos in random Pixar movies. But the whole story about 294 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't say a whole lot. It's just Jerry and 295 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: he's playing a game of chess against himself, and it's 296 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: this entire scene that plays out inside his own mind 297 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: of him playing himself and then him playing his opponent. 298 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: It ends with him faking a heart attack to win 299 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: the game. It zooms out and then you remember that 300 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: it was only him there the entire time. I just 301 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: remember really loving this short film, and after this they 302 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: became a thing and people love these. They go on 303 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: to win Oscars. Jerry's Game actually won the Oscar for 304 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: Best Animated Short Film. So they are definitely an event 305 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: now to be watched. And now they're all upon Disney Plus, 306 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: so sometimes they go back and watch some of these 307 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: and I know they exist as a short film and 308 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot of story there. But I 309 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: just always have had Jerry in the back of my 310 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: head as being such a cool character. It was such 311 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: a fun concept that there is probably something there of 312 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: another kind of adventure that Jerry gets himself in. Why 313 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: was he at the park? What did he do the 314 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: rest of the day? So I think if not only 315 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: you dive into some of the supporting characters in all 316 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: the Pixar movies, but take a look back at all 317 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: of the short films that have really left an impression 318 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: with us over the years, even though they are only 319 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: a few minutes long. Imagine if they had an entire 320 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: movie to play something out. So that is my list, 321 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: look out for my favorite Pixar characters not coming anytime 322 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: soon to a movie theater near you. Let's get into 323 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: a spoiler free movie review now. I want to talk 324 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: about light Year, why it underperformed at the box office, 325 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: and why I just don't think that this is the 326 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: movie that Andy from Toy Story saw that made him 327 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: want the buzz Lightyear toy. I have so many things 328 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: to say about this movie, so let's get right into it. 329 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: Here's just a little bit of the light Year trailer. 330 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: Was light Year to star Command in Command? Why don't 331 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: they answer? What? What is happening right now? Felicia? That's 332 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: my grandmother? But sucks? How long were we gone? Sixty two? Years, 333 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: seven months, and five days. What So when this movie starts, 334 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: the opening title says that in Andy went to the 335 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: movies and he left warning a buzz your toy. This 336 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: is the movie that he saw. And I just don't 337 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: believe that. And let's start at the beginning of what 338 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 1: this movie is about. It is a solo buzz Lightyear movie, 339 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: but it's the actual fictional person that inspired the toy. 340 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: And right off the bat, having to explain that, I 341 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: think is what deters people right away from wanting to 342 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: go see this movie. Because you think buzz Lightyear, you 343 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: think the animated character we know from toy story, you 344 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,719 Speaker 1: think Tim Allen, and when it's Chris Evans, and you 345 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: have to explain that a step further, it gets a 346 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: little bit confusing. And the further down you go on 347 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: this list, it makes you want to go see the 348 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: movie a little bit less and a little bit less. 349 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: And I get that, but I think it's actually a 350 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: good movie. And it starts out with a great fun 351 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: opening action sequence and I was all in, and what 352 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: the movie is about. It's buzz Lightyear, the actual person 353 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: voiced by Chris Evans, and he's trying to complete this 354 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: mission by going into hyper speed to be able to 355 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: rescue all of these people from this poor living condition, 356 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: and in order to do that, he has to, like 357 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 1: you heard in that trailer, travel so fast that he 358 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: realizes once he comes back that years have passed and 359 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: now he has to go embark on an even bigger mission. 360 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: So he's trying to save everybody, and then he has 361 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: to embark on an even bigger mission where he realizes 362 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: he needs some help from some people, and that's where 363 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: all the side characters come in. They are trying to 364 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: help him defeat Zerg in the movie, which you would 365 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: know from Toy Story, and in turn save everybody. And 366 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: I felt like it was so much of a more 367 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: emotionally grounded movie than I was expecting. It's a really 368 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: good sci fi movie, and it's almost a straight on 369 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,239 Speaker 1: drama in some aspects when it comes to buzz light 370 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: your story, like what he is going through as a 371 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: character is almost on a different level than I've seen 372 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: in a Pixar movie. And then I think they had 373 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: to add all the side characters who do a really 374 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: good job at bringing the comedic relief to this movie. 375 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: Everything from Socks the cat that you hear the trailer 376 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 1: or Taiko watch t who was another character in this 377 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: who was one of my favorite characters in the entire movie. 378 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: They kind of bring that comedy element and bring that 379 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: element that I think that kids are going to watch 380 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: this movie and enjoy. But the actual buzz Lightyear story 381 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: in this I feel like for that to be great, 382 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: it almost didn't have to exist in the Toy Story 383 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: world because throughout the entire movie, like you heard in 384 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: that trailer, they're trying to work in the buzz light 385 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: your lines that he said as the toy in Toy Story, 386 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: and it just doesn't really go together. It feels a 387 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: little bit forced to me that this movie could exist 388 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: and in its entirely own world and Pixar could have 389 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: just created this really cool sci fi movie, but they 390 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: had to brand it as living inside the Toy Story universe, 391 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: and I think that hurt it. I think what would 392 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: have actually been the better movie and more believable is 393 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: if this would have been a live action movie, and 394 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: then Chris Evans as buzz Lightyear would have made a 395 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: lot more sense because he had to be younger, and 396 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: it feels like you would have been doing something completely 397 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: different and unique. But I don't think that's what Disney 398 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: wanted to do, probably because that's more expensive, and also 399 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: Pixar is attached to it, so it has to be 400 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,239 Speaker 1: an animated movie. But I think that would have been 401 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: the movie I would have wanted to see, and I 402 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: think that would have been the movie that kids like 403 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: Andy would have watched and made him want to have 404 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: a buzz Light Your toy. I don't think this was it, 405 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: and we see that from it only making fifty million 406 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: at the box office, which isn't terrible when you think 407 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 1: this movie cost two million to make. It's underperforming. And 408 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: if it's a movie that would have made Andy want 409 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,959 Speaker 1: the toy, I feel like, now buzz Light Your Toys 410 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: would be flying off the shelves, and I don't really 411 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: see that right now. And also, when you think about 412 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: Toy Story, that's an animated movie to us, but in 413 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: that movie they are real people. They're not they don't 414 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: see themselves as cartoon characters. So I think the movie 415 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: that Andy would have went to watch would have been 416 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: a live action movie that would have made a little 417 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: bit more sense than how you take that quote unquote 418 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: real person and make that buzz Lightyear toy and that 419 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: would have made a lot more sense. But maybe that's 420 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: getting a little bit too deep into what the kids 421 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: movies should have been like. Visually, this movie was stunning 422 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: and I rarely comment on like the lighting in a movie, 423 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: but some of these scenes just seem so cinematic that 424 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: I forgot I was watching an animated movie. And when 425 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: it comes to the character design, that's kind of what 426 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: keeps it grounded in the Pixar universe. But all of 427 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: the action sequences, all of like the spaceship and the 428 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: use of the different kinds of space technology, all of 429 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: that stuff looked really awesome, really crisp, and really kind 430 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: of made me excited of what Pixar can do. It 431 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: just would have been better to see that not connected 432 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: to toy story. It's just a really good sci fi movie. 433 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: And I almost think they've really been walking that fine 434 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: line of they've been in the business of making kids 435 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: movies since they started in the nineties, and then it's 436 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: kind of transferred into making movies that kids will love 437 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: but parents will also enjoy. But now you kind of 438 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: have this new group of Pixar fans like me, millennials 439 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: who grew up watching these movies but now we're in 440 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: our late twenties, early thirties, mid thirties, that kind of range, 441 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: and I feel like you could have marketed this movie 442 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: to us. And I think that's where this movie really suffered, 443 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: was the marketing. You're marketing it to kids, but I 444 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: feel like it's a little bit of a different movie 445 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: if you would have marketed to people like me. And 446 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: I think that's why I was so excited to watch 447 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: this movie and put it on my most anticipated summer 448 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: list is because it was more appealing to me as 449 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: an adult to go watch this movie. Because of the 450 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: emotional journey that buzz Lightyear went through and all the 451 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: things he battles. I felt like that resonated more with me. 452 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: And if it would have been full on marketed to 453 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: that demographic, I almost think it would have done better 454 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: at the box office and also would have been less 455 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: confusing for people to see because when it comes to 456 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: the action in the movie, I kind of wanted more, 457 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: Especially if I was a kid, I want to see 458 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: buzz light You're being cool and being a hero. That's 459 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: what would motivate me to want a buzz light your toy. 460 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: After this, I felt like he wasn't even in the 461 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: iconic suit throughout the entire movie, as much as I 462 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: would have wanted, Like I wanted to see him in 463 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: the green and white suit all the time, but it 464 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: kind of goes in between that, so I felt like 465 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: it was even lacking there. You also have to realize, 466 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: and I'm grading this based on where it exists in 467 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: the Toy Story universe. Toy Story three, I still feel 468 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: like was the perfect ending to the entire franchise that 469 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: came out in eleven years after Toy Story two, so 470 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: there was a big break in there, and when that 471 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: movie came back, it was really banking on nostalgia. And 472 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: then you have Toy Story four, which came out nine 473 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: years later in although in my mind that felt like 474 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: it came quicker and I wasn't as excited for Toy 475 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: Story four, and I felt like that movie was kind 476 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: of just a falling action of the higher franchise. I 477 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: didn't leave watching Toy Story four wanting more. And then 478 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: you have now light Year, being the prequel to Toy Story. 479 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: I feel like if it would have came in between 480 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: three and four, it would have been more impactful and 481 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,239 Speaker 1: probably would have done a lot better because at that 482 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: point it would have felt like they were going in 483 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: a completely different direction. And then I think the animation 484 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: still would have worked. There probably wouldn't have had the 485 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: same technology to make it look as crisp as it 486 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 1: is now, But I think it would have resonated more 487 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: with audiences if it came between three and four, or 488 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: if it would have came out now. And like I said, 489 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: just been a live action movie, that would have been 490 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: an awesome movie. But you also have to consider all 491 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: the movies that are coming out right now in the summer. 492 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: There's so many great movies everybody. I think the most 493 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: common question I get is what movies should have go 494 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: watch now? And I've been telling everybody to go watch 495 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: Top Gun. And I think people who don't go to 496 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: the movie as a whole lot, that's still on their list. 497 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: Us as movie fans, we go a lot more. We're 498 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: gonna want to watch all these summer blockbuster movies. But 499 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: you also have Jurassic World, which beat it light Year 500 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: in its opening weekend, and then you have Elvis. You 501 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 1: kind of have to pick when you want to go 502 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: to the movies. It gets expensive. I saw somebody on 503 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: my Facebook post to them and their husband and their 504 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: four kids with their two friends all went to go 505 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: watch Jurassic World. And you just have to think about 506 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: ticket prices. You have to think about getting popcorn and drinks. 507 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: Inflation is crazy right now. We're spending money on so 508 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: many other different things. Families just have to pick where 509 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 1: they spend their money, and I totally get that. So 510 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: I think it also came out at a bad time 511 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: of being sandwiched between all these other big blockbuster movies 512 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: that have also been banking on nostalgia. That's what Top 513 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: Gun did, That's what Jurassic World did, and I think 514 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: they did it better. So that's where the money went. 515 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: And of course there was also some controversy. They came 516 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: out with the same sex kiss, which I didn't even 517 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: notice in the movie. It didn't feel like weird to 518 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: me or forced or anything. But I know I probably 519 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: read more articles about that than as big of a 520 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: deal as it was in the movie. And I find 521 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: that a little bit weird that that takes people away 522 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: from wanting to go to see this movie, mainly because 523 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: we never bat an eye when we see like Sleeping 524 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: Beauty being kissed by a random stranger, like unwillingly like 525 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 1: that's just fine. And the lion king we see Nala 526 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: gives Simla the seductive look and it's basically lions hooking 527 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: up in the jungle. We don't bat an eye, but 528 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: two people of the same sex sharing what is really 529 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: just a quick kiss. But you write articles about it 530 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: about Disney having the same sex kiss in it, and 531 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: it deters people from going to watch the movie. I 532 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: don't understand that of all the things that kids get 533 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: exposed to online and violence and all the other awful 534 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: things you can watch really and you know, really traumatize 535 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: you as a kid, that's what we focus on. I 536 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,360 Speaker 1: think that was a non issue. But again, you down 537 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: the list of all the things that are keeping people 538 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: from going to watch this movie from Tim Allen not 539 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: being buzz Lightyear and that turning into another big discussion 540 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: of like, oh you should have a minute, and then 541 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: you have having to explain the story, and then you 542 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: have this part of controversy. You get three steps down 543 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: and you've already lost so many people, so it becomes 544 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: a tougher and tougher sale. Again. I could probably go 545 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: on and on about this movie, but I'll wrap up 546 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: here and say it's still a good movie. And why 547 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: I don't consider it to be a great movie is 548 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: because I have to judge it based on it existing 549 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: in the Toy Story world, and I didn't fully feel that. 550 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: I still think that if you take away all those 551 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: elements of the catchphrases of kind of anything that references 552 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: Toy Story, it could have been its own standalone film 553 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: and it would have been less confusing to audiences. Just say, hey, Pixar, 554 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: we're making a sci fi movie. It's called Space Guy. 555 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be light Year. And I feel 556 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: like that was almost the case. I feel like the 557 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: whole tagline of this being the movie and you watch 558 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: that made him want buzz was kind of added there 559 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: at the end, like maybe this was pitched as just 560 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: being a Pixar sci fi movie and they're like, well, 561 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: what if it exists in the Toy Story world, it 562 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: will connect more and into marketing, into the promotion of 563 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: the movie. And don't forget that Disney is in the 564 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: business of selling merchandise, Like that's where they make a 565 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: lot of their money is they create these movies for kids, 566 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: they go see the movie. Those box office numbers are great, 567 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: but where they really make a lot of their money 568 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: is selling you those toys, selling you those toys, and 569 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: also getting you to go to Disney World and Disneyland. 570 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: These movies at times just serve as big commercials for 571 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: their products, and what has sold a lot of products 572 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: over the years Toy Story toys. So I would have 573 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: been more excited to see just the new fresh franchise 574 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: them diving into the fi fi world. I think that 575 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: would have been a better movie, or making it a 576 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: live action movie, because then you take away all that 577 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: other confusion and it would have been amazing. So with 578 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: that said, if I had to rate light here, I 579 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: would give it three point five out of five Space Rangers. 580 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: I'm curious now because this was supposed to set up 581 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: a sequel. It was supposed to set up a whole 582 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: new series of Buzz Lightyear movies, but this one kind 583 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: of stalling. I think that maybe that doesn't happen anymore, 584 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: especially because Picks are just for the most part, doesn't 585 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: really do a whole lot of sequels, especially when one underperforms. 586 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: It's time to head down to Movie Mike today. We're 587 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: talking about a new movie from Sony coming out called 588 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: Lyle Lyle Crocodile, which is based on a kid's book, 589 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: and the voice of the crocodile, who is the singing crocodile, 590 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: is voiced by Shawn Mendez. One of the characters in 591 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: this movie is Javier Bardem, who some how completely works, 592 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: even though I still have him as the main bad 593 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: guy in No Country for Old Man. Somehow his very 594 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: exuberant character in this movie works. I think this movie 595 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: looks like a lot of fun, but we'll dive into 596 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: it a little bit more after we get just a 597 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: little bit of the lyle Lile Crocodile trailer, The Crocodile 598 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: in the House. Hello, you must be done, your tenants 599 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: on your service. I see you've met my crocodile. He's 600 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: an extraordinary talent. His name is sly Mom. I swear 601 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: to you he's not dangerous, just a crocodile. Okay, Yes, 602 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: crocodiles can bite your phone and yesterday have a taste 603 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: for human flush. But he's not like that. He wears 604 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: a star and you can sing. So I vaguely remember 605 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: seeing this book when I was a kid. I don't 606 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: think I was a huge lyle Liile the Crocodile fan, 607 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: but this movie feels fun to me, and just by 608 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: watching the trailer, it feels like it's going to be 609 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: a fun kids movie coming out on October seven, And 610 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: the trailer just creates kind of this sense of adventure 611 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: that I haven't really felt from launching a kids movie 612 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: trailer in a long time, and that wasn't a Disney movie, 613 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: and I think even Disney now lacks a little bit 614 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: of that feeling of fun from their trailers. When I 615 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: watch a Disney trailer, it just kind of feels like 616 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: an advertisement, but this one has a little more there. 617 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: And even though the concept seems so ridiculous, and maybe 618 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: it's just America's response to Paddington and the success that 619 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: that movie has had, now they are taking the Lyle 620 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: Lyle crocodile character, putting them in New York City, and 621 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: then having some fun with it to create this endearing 622 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: character that, even though he is a monster to some 623 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: in the movie, can somehow do something fun and magical. 624 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: The movie is about Lyle, who is a crocodile living 625 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: in this house and he is forced to move to 626 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: the zoo because of the cranky neighbor who looks like 627 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: it is played by a character from stranger things who 628 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: I really like him and that and then once lyle 629 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: his freed, he saves the neighbor's life and becomes a hero. 630 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: Movie does have some cool things going for it. You 631 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: have Sean Mendez, who I think is incredibly talented. I 632 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: like a lot of his music, and I think he's 633 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: just a very interesting person to take on this role. 634 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: And for his first movie to be a singing crocodile, 635 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: well that's kind of a perfect fit. I mean, just 636 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: by hearing his song and the trailer, somehow it makes sense, 637 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: even though it looks a little bit ridiculous. I think 638 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: kids will like that the movie will feature original songs 639 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: recorded and performed by him, and a lot of the 640 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: songwriting team on this movie is the people behind The 641 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: Greatest Showman, which it kind of gave me that big 642 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: theatrical musical sense by watching this trailer, it felt a 643 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: little bit like The Greatest Showman, very exuberant, very almost 644 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: like a you're watching a play a little bit. And 645 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: I think, of course the music was probably all of 646 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: our favorite parts of the Greatest Showman. The movie itself 647 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: all right, but it's the kind of the songs that 648 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: really bring that movie to life and leave a lasting compression. 649 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: So maybe that will transfer here to the Crocodile movie. 650 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: But I think the thing I'm most interested and curious 651 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: about is seeing Javier Bardem as the owner of the 652 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 1: crocodile who goes to the family and it's like, hey, 653 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: you found my singing crocodile. I think it's interesting because 654 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: he is in one of my favorite movies of all time, 655 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: No Country for Oldman. He plays anton Sugar, who is 656 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: I feel, one of the most grounded and realistic villains 657 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 1: ever to be portrayed in any movie. And he has 658 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: just such a range to him and his acting abilities 659 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: that he could play such a dark, mysterious, brutal character 660 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: like Antoine Sugar and also play Ricky Ricardo and being 661 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: the Ricardo's and then take on a fun role like 662 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: this to where I don't feel like he has misplaced. 663 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 1: It looks like he is having fun and it looks 664 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: like he is this character. So I just really love 665 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: seeing somebody who has that kind of range and isn't 666 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: afraid to take on a project like this and do 667 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: it convincingly. It just seems like a great role for 668 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: him that I wouldn't have expected, but makes sense. You 669 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: also have Constance Wu, who I feel rounds out this 670 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: entire cast and will probably bring some good comedic elements 671 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: to the movie. Again, it comes out on October seven. 672 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: The only real problem might have with this movie, aside 673 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: from the fact of I just wonder if the movie 674 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: will be able to deliver based on the trailer. Obviously, 675 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: if it is trying to be a little bit like Paddington, 676 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: will it have that same emotional connection throughout the entire 677 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: movie or will it just kind of be an now 678 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: rich family movie that comes out in October to be 679 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: that bridge between fall and holiday season. That's yet to 680 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 1: be seen. But it does have me curious of wanting 681 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: to check this movie out. But the major thing that 682 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: makes me not like this movie is I believe that 683 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: this movie took the place of Across the Spider Verse, 684 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 1: which is the supposed to come out on October seven, 685 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 1: and now it is operating within that window. I don't 686 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: think that they decided to put out Lyle Lile the 687 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: Crocodile and push back Spider Verse to give Lyle Lyle 688 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: the better window. At least that's what I'm telling myself. 689 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 1: I'm telling myself that Spider Man across the Spider Verse 690 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: wasn't ready yet and they needed more time and pushed 691 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: that the summer. I don't want to believe that they 692 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: got bumped for Lyle Lile the Crocodile. I don't know 693 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: how many times I said crocodile in this segment, but 694 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,760 Speaker 1: if that's the case, boycott the movie. Was this mans 695 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,800 Speaker 1: edition of movie and that's gonna do it for another 696 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: episode of the podcast. We reached the end, my friends. 697 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: Thanks to everybody who commented on my Bo's Lerman Instagram 698 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: video on TikTok with the music notes. That really meant 699 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: a lot to me to see support for one of 700 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: my biggest interviews that I've done on the podcast. Yet. 701 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: I have another interview I'm really excited about that you'll 702 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 1: hear in a couple weeks. I got to talk to 703 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: the voice of Stitch and the creator of le Loo 704 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: and Stitch. We did a long form interview. I think 705 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: it's about half an hour. His name is Chris Sanders. 706 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: I discovered him on TikTok talking about Lelo and Stitch 707 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: and it's my favorite Disney movie and even if it's 708 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: not your favorite Disney movie, I really think you'll be 709 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: interested in his story of how he created this movie 710 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: and this idea back in the eighties and then finally 711 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,840 Speaker 1: saw that come to life and become one of the 712 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: most iconic characters of the two thousands. And we get 713 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: all into that. So even if you're just a fan 714 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: of Disney, I think you'll really enjoy that interview. And 715 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 1: then I'll also have a spoiler episode of Jurassic World 716 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: Dominion coming up soon, so you have all that to 717 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: look forward to before I hop out of here.
