1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to movie Mike's Movie podcast. I am 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: movie Mike on Twitter and Instagram at Mike Destro. I 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: think a lot of you guys might be joining me 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: here for the very first time. I've had some guests 5 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: in the past couple of episodes, and I think has 6 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: actually turned on some new listeners to checking out the podcast. 7 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: So if you are here, welcome. If you've been checking 8 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: out some of the back episodes, thanks for doing that. 9 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: Just kind of want to explain who I am if 10 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: you have no idea really who this guy is who 11 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: rans about movies every single week. So my name is Mike. 12 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: I live in Nashville, Tennessee. I moved here from Austin, Texas, 13 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: and I've been in Nashville for about four years now. 14 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: And I grew up didn't have a whole lot. I 15 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: didn't really go to the movies a whole lot as 16 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: a kid, but I watched a lot of things on TV, 17 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: and then my cousin would let me borrow his VHS 18 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: tapes a lot, and that's really how I got into movies. 19 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: And then as I grew up, I would kind of 20 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: find myself going to the movies a lot and really 21 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: enjoying that process, and up until about this year, I 22 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: would probably go to the movies at least three sometimes 23 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: four times a month to watch all the latest movies. 24 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: But once a movie theater has gotta got shut down, 25 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: I kind of shifted how I did this podcast and 26 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: how I approached talking about movies. But that's what you 27 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: get when you listen to this podcast. It's always movie themed. 28 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: I'm always talking about them, either with the guests or 29 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: I find a different kind of topic to explore and 30 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: talk about movies in a different way each week. And 31 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: actually what I'm starting this week is a brand new 32 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: four part series where I'm talking about the most famous 33 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: movies set in the state. I'll explain what that means 34 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: coming up in the actual segment, but if you want 35 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: to get in on this, you can go to my 36 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: Twitter and comment on the top post with your state 37 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: and the most famous movie to come out of there. 38 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: And it's kind of an interactive thing I want to 39 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: do here to get you guys involved and what you 40 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: guys think is the most famous movie too. So I 41 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: have my list going and then I'm also changing it 42 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: with what you guys sent in. So that's also what 43 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: I like to do on this podcast is get you 44 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: guys involved too and your ideas on movies, and I 45 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: kind of mold the episodes based on that. So it's 46 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: really big to follow me on Twitter or Instagram to 47 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: to begin and on that as well. So I like 48 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: to keep it interactive. I'd like to keep you guys involved, 49 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: and just like that you're here, hang now, and if 50 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: you're here for the first time, and if you don't mind, 51 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: hit that subscribe button, hit that like button wherever you're 52 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: listening to follow the podcast and you get brand new 53 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: episodes every single Monday. And if you're listening over on 54 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts, they have this feature where you can rate 55 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: and review a podcast. Leave that five star rating because 56 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: it helps me kind of climb up the movie category. 57 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: There's some other movie podcasts that are just above me, 58 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: and I want to kind of climb up there so 59 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: more people can come here, and the more people to 60 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: get over here, the more people get involved, and the 61 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: better and bigger the episodes can be. So that's what 62 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: we do around here. And that's just a little about 63 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: me and myself and what I like to do in 64 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: this podcast. So if you love movies, if you know 65 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: somebody who loves movies tell them about it too. And 66 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: I also like to keep these episodes spoiler free. I 67 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: want everybody to be able to listen to these episodes 68 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: and not worry about, you know, ruining a movie that 69 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: you're going to end up going to watch, because I 70 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: know how bad that sucks. And if I do end 71 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: up getting into a review with a guest that we 72 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: end up spoiling a movie, I'll always give you a 73 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: warning that, hey, a spoiler alert is coming, so we 74 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: want to come back and listen to that part of 75 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: the podcast. Always take care of that so I'll never 76 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: do your wrong on that front. So again, what we're 77 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: doing on this episode is talking about the most famous 78 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: movies for each state. I'm starting with a certain part 79 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: of the country this week. It'll be the Northeast, and 80 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: then I'll go through all four reeks into the United States. 81 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: Throughout this entire series, I'm also gonna be reviewing the 82 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: new Jamie Fox movie on Netflix called Project Power. And 83 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: then later on in the episode, I have a special 84 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: guest who was reviewing a movie that came out when 85 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: I was his age. It's a movie called Sky High, 86 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: and I saw I was celebrating its fifteen year anniversary. 87 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what if I could 88 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: get somebody to review that movie and see if it 89 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: holds up over time. So a sky high review with 90 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: the special guest at the very end of this episode. 91 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: So stick around to listen to the entire thing if 92 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: you want to find out who that is and what 93 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: that's about. All Right, I think that's all I got 94 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: to say going into this episode. Hope you enjoy this 95 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: series that will take place over the next four weeks 96 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: and without any further ado, let's get started in a 97 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: world where everyone and their mother. As a podcast, one 98 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never 99 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: before in a movie podcast, A man with so much 100 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking on MTV classes 101 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: from the Nashville Podcast Network Movie Movie Podcast. All right, 102 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: here we go, starting a brand new series here on 103 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: the podcast the best movies set in each state. So 104 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,239 Speaker 1: the question was pretty simple that I threw out on Twitter. 105 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: I just said, Hey, what's the most famous movie to 106 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: ever come out and be about your state? Hit me 107 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: with that movie and hit me with the state. And 108 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: the response was pretty incredible. There was literally like over 109 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: six hundred seven hundred applies, and I went through all 110 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: of them, just kind of putting together this list, and 111 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: I decided, well, why not turn this into a series 112 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: on the podcast. There's just so much to go through. 113 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: I felt like cramming it all into one would be 114 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: too much, But I think a four part series will 115 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: do this justice. So I'm going region by region of 116 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: the United States and going after every state and finding 117 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: the movie that properly in most in every way embodies 118 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: that state. So before I get into this week, I 119 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: am doing the Northeast. Before we get into that, I 120 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: just want to set the stage on the criteria here, 121 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: so this will be what I used to determine every 122 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: single movie in every single state throughout this entire series. 123 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: Let's just set the rules now. So first of all, 124 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: plain and simple, the movie has to take place in 125 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: that state. It has nothing to do where the movie 126 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: was filmed, because I know some people were like, oh, 127 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: this movie was filmed, you know, right down the street 128 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: from me, but it actually takes place in a different state, 129 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: has nothing to do where it was filmed. A bunch 130 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: of movies are filmed in different locations all the time, 131 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: but where they're actually set in the story is what 132 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: we're looking at here. The other thing I'm looking at 133 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: is what movie really kind of embodies that state in 134 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: every way, like whether it's showing geographical locations and important 135 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: like significant events throughout history from that state, or just 136 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: other things that really kind of highlight what it means 137 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: to live in that state, what life is like in 138 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: that state, and also just what movies people actually associate 139 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: with these parts of the country. I think all that 140 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 1: goes together and defines each single movie that I'm picking 141 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: in this series, and a lot of you guys kind 142 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: of helped me decide when it came down to the 143 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: final like two or three movies, like which one is 144 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: actually like, Okay, that is that state. And I know 145 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: I'm starting with the Northeast today, but I'm also going 146 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: to be going through over the next four weeks. I'll 147 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: do the Midwest, the South, and then the West. So 148 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: if you haven't had your state talked about yet, you 149 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: can go to my Twitter at Mike Destro I'll pin 150 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: this tweet at the very top and comment what you 151 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: think the most important and famous movie to come out 152 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: of your state is, and then I'll be sure to 153 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: include that when I you know, I'm going through the 154 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: entire list. So if you haven't got to your state 155 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: yet in this podcast and you want your voice to 156 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: be heard, just go over to my Twitter and send 157 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: me a reply on that and I'll add it in 158 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: throughout the entire series. The other ones that were just 159 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: hard for me to include were road trip movies where 160 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: you start in one state and end up in a 161 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: different state. I felt like those, even though they start 162 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: off based in one state, when you kind of move 163 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: of over different locations, it's harder for it to really 164 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: fit into this category. So those movies probably won't end 165 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: up making the list. So if you're thinking about one 166 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: that's like starting one state and ends up in another 167 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: state and goes to another state, probably not the best 168 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: one for this series. So just the movie that outright 169 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: is about that state is what we're looking for here. 170 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: So those are the rules that will be the entire 171 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: series over the next four weeks. But right now, let's 172 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: get into the Northeast. Starting first was Maine, and let 173 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: me just say that I have done a lot of 174 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: traveling in my life, mostly in the last four years 175 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: or so, and I think the Northeast is probably the 176 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: region I've been to the least. I've been to about 177 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: forty two or forty three of all the United States, 178 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: and most of the ones I haven't been to are 179 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: actually in the Northeast. And I think because I hadn't 180 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: been there. Growing up as a kid, the Northeast was 181 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: always like a really cool place for me to like visualize, 182 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: and I think I saw it a lot through movies. 183 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: It was always just had a really cool vibe up 184 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,119 Speaker 1: there in places like Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, 185 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: like all those places in my head were like really 186 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: cool places that I'd like to go someday. And getting 187 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: to see some of these places later in life has 188 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: been really cool. So I like the Northeast a lot. 189 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: And there's just something about a movie set there that 190 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: makes it feel like a movie, if that makes sense. 191 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: I just feel like that's like a perfect backdrop for 192 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,119 Speaker 1: a lot of classic movies. So let's start with Maine. 193 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: So I think a lot of people wanted to say 194 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: The Shawshank Redemption, which is of course a very iconic movie, 195 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: but when I think of Shawshank Redemption, nothing comes to 196 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: mind of Maine because it's set in a prison, that 197 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 1: happens to be located in Maine. I think it was 198 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: actually filmed in a different state, but still says that 199 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: it was taking place in Maine. A very famous movie, 200 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: but when I think Shows and Redemption, I don't think 201 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: Maine and the movie I am going with is it. 202 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: So you have the old school original and the new 203 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: It both take place in a fictional town called Dairy, Maine. 204 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: And why I thought this one is the most famous 205 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: movie to come out of Maine because a lot of 206 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: this story pertains to this fictional town in Maine and 207 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: everything from you know, the neighborhoods that it takes place in, 208 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: the creepy house that it lives in, and you know 209 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: them kind of riding around their bikes in this kind 210 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: of small fictional town in Maine. I feel a lot 211 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: of that kind of comes out, even the stuff when 212 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: they go out in nature and just the lifestyle these 213 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: kids are living. A lot of it has to do with, 214 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: you know, the state it's taking place in. And I 215 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: like the idea of this taking place in a fictional 216 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: town because it is a horror movie where a lot 217 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: of it is based on the city and the history 218 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: and the city and the you know, the whole mystery 219 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: behind who it is and what he is doing to 220 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: these kids. I like the idea of it being a 221 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: small fictional town in Maine that's kind of creepy on 222 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: its own in a way. And there's just something about 223 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: the story of them, you know, all finding out how 224 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: it is coming back and they all have to go 225 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: back to this small town that I think adds a 226 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: lot to this movie. And I feel just the most 227 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: impactful movie to come out and be based in Maine. 228 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 1: So with Maine, I'm going with it. Moving on now 229 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: to New Hampshire. Now, of all the states I've researched 230 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: so far, I found the least on New Hampshire, and 231 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: I basically got it down the two movies, which are Mr. 232 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: Deed's and Jumanji, and both really great movies. And actually 233 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Jumanji, one of my favorite movies 234 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: as a kid. And also, like I said, the Northeast 235 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: just has like this perfect backdrop for movies, especially one 236 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: set and fall, when you know you have those trees 237 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: and all the fleeves falling. You can't really get that 238 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: anywhere else than in the original Jumanji. I think that 239 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: really comes out, you know, to the style of houses, 240 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: to the history of the businesses there. I think all 241 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: of that kind of comes to play in this movie. 242 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: And this is my favorite movie to be placed in 243 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: New Hampshire. And even the new one had some elements 244 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: and references to the town, of course, not as prominent 245 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: as the original, which I think the original it's probably 246 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: better than the remake, even though I ended up enjoying 247 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: that one too, just a different take on it, but 248 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: I feel I'm gonna put the original Jumanji as being 249 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: the most famous movie from New Hampshire. Moving on to Vermont, 250 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: I think this is a pretty easy one. Dead Poet 251 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: Society takes place in the Vermont Boarding School, a really 252 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: great movie. I love Robin Williams, and Vermont is one 253 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 1: of those states that I've never had the chance to visit. 254 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: Another movie that made me want to visit Vermont was 255 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: Johnny Tsunami, which he lives in Hawaii but moves to 256 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: Vermont and goes from surfing to snowboarding. So that was 257 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: a close second on this, but I still feel Johnny 258 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: Tsunami maybe more of a Hawaii movie than it is 259 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: a Vermont movie. But it really doesn't get better than 260 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: Dead Poets Society for Vermont, So I'm going with that one. 261 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: And now we get to Massachusetts, arguably probably the biggest 262 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: state to have so many great movies come out of it. 263 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: Like besides, I think even more so than New York 264 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: and California, there's just something about all the movies made 265 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts that there's just so many great ones, And 266 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it has to do with 267 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg having just such a 268 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: big impact on movies coming out of Massachusetts and even 269 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: just Boston in particular. So many great movies that I 270 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: had to narrow it down to pretty much the three 271 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: biggest movies I think are Good Will, Hunting, The Town, 272 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: and The Departed, and I'm strongly leaning towards The Town own. 273 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: I feel like that movie The Town just had such 274 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: a great way of, you know, describing this part of 275 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: Boston and showing the really grittier side, but the side 276 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: of that is just a really great action in drama 277 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: that the first time I watched it kind of just 278 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: had me on the edge of my seat. And there's 279 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: a lot of you know, Boston in there. There's a 280 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: lot of Massachusetts in there, everything from all the scenery 281 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: that they show, but also just the accents and the 282 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: way of life there, even though this is kind of 283 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: a grittier part like the Underbelly, because you got these 284 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: four friends from Charleston, and I just think this movie 285 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 1: has such a great way of showing a different side 286 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: of Massachusetts. And of these three movies, comparing Good Will 287 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: Hunting to Departed in the Town, I just think the 288 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: Town shows something a little more unique. So this is 289 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: a pretty close race. Really three great contenders here, But 290 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: if I had to go with one being the most 291 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: famous because of what it represents, I'm going with the Town. 292 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: Let's move on to Rhode Island. I think there's one 293 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: clear cut winner here. The movie starring Jim Carey, called Me, 294 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: Myself and Irene. I remember when this movie came out. 295 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: I thought it was like the funniest thing ever. It's 296 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: Jim Carey who plays a Rhode Island state trooper who 297 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 1: ends up adapting a split personality. I just love the 298 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: story in this movie. It's funny. His kids are funny 299 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: in this A really underrated Jim Carrey movie too. I 300 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: get it. It's a little wacky, it's a little low brow, 301 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: maybe even a little bit gimmicky, But I like how 302 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: Jim Carrey took this role on and it shows a 303 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: lot of Rhode Island, and I have to say it 304 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: most famous movie to come out of Rhode Island, me, 305 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: myself and Irene. Moving on now to Connecticut. Now, a 306 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: movie I actually didn't realize was based in Connecticut was Beetlejuice, 307 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: which is a great movie, but I feel that one 308 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: it could almost be placed anywhere. There's not a whole 309 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: lot to have to do with the state. Another one 310 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: in consideration was Stepford Wise, but the one I saw 311 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: the most tweets and Instagram messages about was Mystic Pizza, 312 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: which was actually not Julia roberts debut movie. Her first 313 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: movie was actually a movie called Firehouse, which came out 314 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: the year before, but this is really the movie that 315 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: kind of made her a breakout start. But it was 316 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: the debut movie for Matt Damon, And this is a 317 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: movie that really didn't do so well when it came 318 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: out in theaters, but it kind of has a cult 319 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: following now, probably mainly because of Julia Roberts and the 320 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: fact that it's the first time you've ever seen Matt 321 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: Damon in the movie. But I mean, it's all about 322 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: this pizza parlor. You've got a small fishing town of 323 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: Mystic Connecticut. Looks like Connecticut, feels like Connecticut. All that 324 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: makes it the most famous movie I say to come 325 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: out of Connecticut. So going with Mystic Pizza here all right, 326 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: Now we're moving on to a big one in New York. 327 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: And you could argue that there's so many great movies 328 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: that have just so much history in New York. So 329 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: it's really hard to determine what's the most famous movie 330 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: ever to come out of New York. It was really 331 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: hard to even just narrow down. I would argue that 332 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: New York California probably have the biggest movies ever, mainly 333 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: because you've got California, Hollywood, all that stuff, or just 334 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: naturally set in California. But New York is pretty much 335 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: a location that has a life of its own. I 336 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: remember the first time I visit New York and walking 337 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: just down the street feels like you're in a movie. 338 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: It feels like something is happening at every single moment 339 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: that you're there, Like it feels when you're in New 340 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: York City in particular, that everybody is there for a reason, 341 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: and things feel more cinematic. I remember the first time 342 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: I walked onto Times Square, It's straight up felt like 343 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: it was the opening scene of a movie. So therefore, 344 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: so many movies are placed there and around there because 345 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: it's just such a natural backdrop for any kind of action. 346 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: You put anything there and it feels like a movie. 347 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: So narrowing it down to movies that work not only 348 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: that the fact that they are taking place in New 349 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: York City, but also really, you know, bring life to 350 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: the story because of its surroundings. So I kind of 351 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: got it down to movies the best I could because 352 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: there's just so many. So what I have on my 353 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: list is Ghostbusters, which I feel I could take place 354 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: no other place than New York City. Taxi Driver, which 355 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: is basically the precursor to Joker that came out last year. 356 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: American Cycle another great movie, and then you may laugh 357 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: at me about this one, but Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 358 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: is such a great New York movie. And then you 359 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: kind of have to throw in the Avengers in there, 360 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: because the first Avengers has a really big part that 361 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: it takes place in New York because throughout the entire 362 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: series of all the Marvel movies, you know, they referenced 363 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: New York of you know, the day that event took place, 364 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: and I felt like a lot of that movie and 365 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: that big fight scene at the very end, it was 366 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: so important that it took place in New York because 367 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: through the entire time you just reference to New York 368 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: and you know what they're talking about talking about the 369 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: First Avengers. But the movie I'm going to go with, 370 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: and you guys may laugh at me on this one, 371 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: just because there's so many movies that come out of 372 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: New York and New York City, this one I felt 373 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: had everything that I was looking for in a movie 374 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: about New York. It was a big part of my childhood. 375 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: And you know, the main reason I wanted to visit 376 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: New York we was was because of this movie. Again, 377 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: don't laugh, but I'm going with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 378 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: the original one. Now, everything from the opening scenes to 379 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: that movie where there's just showing montages of the city, 380 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: it's showing taxis, it's showing people eating big slices of 381 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: thin crust pizza. It's the Ninja Turtles living underneath the 382 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: sewer of New York City. And then fighting crime in 383 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: New York City. There's just so much you can learn 384 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: about the city from this movie, and I feel everything 385 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: about it embodies that. And I think even the city 386 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: of New York has kind of adopted the teenage Musion 387 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles as being from New York. I remember the 388 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: first time I went there. Also that landing in the airport, 389 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: they have, you know, like paintings and pictures of the 390 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles advertising the city. So I think 391 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: when you think teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, when you think 392 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: New York City, you associated automatically with them living underneath 393 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: the sewer. Therefore, I'm putting them as the most famous 394 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: movie to come out of New York City and be 395 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: based there. Write it down, take a picture there you go. 396 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: Moving on now to Pennsylvania, I think there's a clear 397 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: cut winner here, a second close with Gettysburg, but undeniably 398 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: the movie that's the most famous to come out of 399 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: Philadelphia is Rocky and all the sequels that followed it, 400 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: so much so that they have a statue in Philadelphia 401 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: of Rocky that I have actually gone to and made 402 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: it up to go and visit and see and take 403 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: a picture in front of it, just because of how 404 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: iconic this movie is. Everything from the locations he visits 405 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: in this movie and just the overall feel. And you know, 406 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: the underdog story of Rocky, it all has to do 407 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: with him being in Philadelphia. So Claire cut winner here. 408 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: I think there's very little argument that Rocky is the 409 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: biggest movie to come out of Pennsylvania. A lot of 410 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: people agreed on Twitter. So that's what we're going with. Alright, 411 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: one state left here to wrap up the northeast, So 412 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: New Jersey. There's just something special about New Jersey. I 413 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: haven't met anybody from New Jersey that wasn't passionate about 414 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: being from New Jersey. And there's something about movies set 415 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: there that have a different feel to them and it 416 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: kind of has their personality inside of the movie. So 417 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: some movies I want to include Friday thirteenth, even though 418 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: it's based in a fictional part of New Jersey. There's 419 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: just so many Jason movies going back to Crystal Lake 420 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: and that location of that camp that it would be 421 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,479 Speaker 1: a dishonor not to include it when mentioning New Jersey. 422 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: You also have a movie called Garden State, straight up 423 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: What the State Is Named After, which was a really 424 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: big indie movie and one I really enjoyed with Zach 425 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: Braff and Natalie Portman, and a lot of that movie 426 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: just kind of surrounds New Jersey. There's so much about 427 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: it in that movie that I feel it's a really 428 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: close second. But there's another movie and a whole series 429 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: of movies that I just think embody his New Jersey 430 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: even more the one I'm going with, and it's all 431 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: of Kevin Smith's movies. So I'm gonna go with Clerks, 432 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: which I think is this best movie. But what I 433 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: love about Kevin Smith is he sets all of his 434 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: characters and it just puts so much of New Jersey 435 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: into all of his movies, whether it's Clerks, Mall Rats, Jayan, 436 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: Silent Bob, Jersey Girl, Like, all these movies have to 437 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: do with these characters and them living in various parts 438 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: of the state, and he just shows so much pride 439 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: in the fact that he is and it just shows 440 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: so much pride the fact that he was born in 441 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: New Jersey, and then all of his characters are from 442 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: there too. You know, everything in the view Askew Universe 443 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: all just primarily take place in his home state and 444 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: New Jerse, Jersey. So I think without a doubt Kevin 445 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: Smith is really the go to guy filmmaker for New Jersey. 446 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: Really kind of put them on a map in a 447 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: different way. So there we go. We have made it 448 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: through part one of a four part series going through 449 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: the most famous movies for every single state. If you're 450 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: a movie from your state didn't make it, I'm sorry. 451 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: But if you're from the Midwest, the South, or the 452 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: West and want to get your pick in again, just 453 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: go to my Twitter at Mike Destro. The tweet is 454 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: pin at the very top and reply with your state 455 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: and the movie most famous from there, and I'll put 456 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: it into consideration as I go after the series. I 457 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: hope you guys enjoyed this, mainly because I'm looking to 458 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: do three more of these. All right, let's get into 459 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: a movie review now. Let's talk about the movie Project Power, 460 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: which dropped on Netflix over the weekend. Was pretty much 461 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: number one every single day. You got Jamie Fox, Joseph Gordon, Levitt, Dominique, Fishbag, 462 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: Machine Gun, Kelly and The movie is about a former 463 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: soldier who is Jamie Fox in the movie, who teams 464 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: up with Joseph Gordon Levitt's character who's a cop, and 465 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: they try to find a source behind a dangerous pill 466 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: that essentially gives these people temporary superpowers for about five 467 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: minutes and not giving anything away there. That's kind of 468 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: what they set up in the trailer before I get 469 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: into the review of this movie. Here's just a little 470 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: bit of project power. It can make you strong, make 471 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: you invisible. You never know what your power is until 472 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: you try it. What's up power? Yeah, on a street 473 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: stage telcoming back people powers, but they're not talking about 474 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: how one he could kill you. What's the plan? Now? 475 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: Took some from it. I gotta get it back something. 476 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: But first of all, going into this movie, I like 477 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: the premise of it. They kind of sold it as, Hey, 478 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: if there was this pill to give you this crazy superpowers, 479 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: but just for five minutes, would you take it? And 480 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: that's kind of what they show in the trailer and 481 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: what you kind of learned about this pill. It's doesn't 482 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: really have a really definite origin in the very beginning, 483 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: so maybe like the first five to Manage, you're a 484 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: little bit confused with going on, but then you see 485 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: somebody actually take up hill and essentially turns them into 486 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: some kind of superhero developed with some strange power, but 487 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: it only lasts for a short amount of time. So 488 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: what I liked about this movie is it kind of 489 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: plays the balance between a just straight on action movie 490 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: in a superhero film, and also that the star role 491 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: is Jamie Fox, who sometimes black actors don't really get 492 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: superhero roles or sci fi roles, like those worlds kind 493 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: of don't collide all the time. So I think seeing 494 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: that in this movie was pretty special, and I think 495 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: that worked a lot. Like I like seeing Jimmy Fox 496 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: in an action role. I buy into that character and 497 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: I thought he was really good in that, So I 498 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: like the fact that they made him the star of 499 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: this movie. The story itself was pretty interesting. It takes 500 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: a little bit to kind of find out what's going 501 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: on in the movie and where they're going with it. 502 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: You're kind of wondering whether or not Jimmy Fox is 503 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: a good guy is the bad guy? Like what is 504 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: he actually trying to do in the movie. So there's 505 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: a little bit kind of in the first act where 506 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, where is this movie actually going? And 507 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: then what's the kind of feels out and you realize 508 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: what the story is going to be and how his 509 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: character is gonna react everything going on. You're like, Okay, 510 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: I'm kind of buying into this, and it does a 511 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: really good job of kind of giving that superhero world 512 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: in a way, but still kind of place to get 513 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: into modern times and what would actually happen, you know, 514 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: with crime and everything right now. I think the only 515 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: thing I wanted more was more of the superhero powers, 516 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: because I know it's the whole thing behind it is. 517 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: You know, you take the pill and you have them 518 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: for like five minutes, But I feel like there needs 519 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: to be a little more action around that actual pill, 520 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: aside from Jamie Foxx's character just trying to find the 521 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: source of it because he's trying to get back his 522 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: daughter in the movie, and then he's also fighting all 523 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: these bad guys on the way to get to his daughter. 524 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: But I felt like there should have been more people 525 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: taking the actual pill and more things he kind of 526 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: had to overcome that way, Like I wanted a little 527 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: more of that kind of action, and with the kind 528 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: of different premise, I feel it kind of also had 529 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: to play that line of being almost borderline cheesy in 530 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: a way to be like, Okay, this is kind of 531 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: dumb the way they're acting to it being a really 532 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: kind of like gritty action filled and like you care 533 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: about his character and you actually buy into it. It 534 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: kind of walked that line line of it being a 535 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: little cheesy and then also kind of gritty. But again, 536 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: I think Netflix is in a pretty good spot with 537 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: these action movies lately. I think this is kind of 538 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: they're they're lane to go in. I just kind of 539 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: wish they would have went a little more harder into 540 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: this one. But I mean, I throughout the entire movie, 541 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: I never found myself being bored. Sometimes it was a 542 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: little bit of a lull in places, but I was 543 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: never like tuned out and like Okay, just wrap this up. 544 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: I was entertained throughout the entire movie. And the movie's 545 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: only ninety minutes, so I felt like that a pretty 546 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: good job of keeping the pace going and keeping the 547 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: story developing to where you never really was like Okay, 548 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: just get this thing over with. So I thought that 549 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: was a pretty good win for them. And I know 550 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: this episode has also been all about like famous movies 551 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: from States, and obviously this movie just came out, but 552 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: there's no way it could be the famous movie from Louisiana. 553 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: But I do like the fact that it takes place 554 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: in New Orleans. And not only that is it's very 555 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: much like they're establishing that this movie is taking place 556 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: in New Orleans. Everything from Joseph Gordon Levitt's character, you know, 557 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: wearing the Sames jersey, the references to the team, and 558 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: then the city and then they actually go own like 559 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: by the Superdome and filmed some stuff by it. So 560 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: I felt like it was cool that it was in 561 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: a different city that was in l A, that was 562 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: in New York. It was like, Okay, this movie is 563 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: gonna be set in New Orleans, and we're going to 564 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: really buy into it, like this movie couldn't really have 565 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: taken place anywhere else. So I really like that about 566 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: the movie. And in addition to them incorporating the city, 567 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: I thought this movie also looked cool, like the details 568 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: in this movie, the shots in this movie, and overall 569 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: even like just the color on the screen. I thought 570 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: it was like visually appealing and the special effects were 571 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: really great, everything from machine Gun Kelly's character kind of 572 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: taking on the superpowers and looking really crazy. He actually 573 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: posted a picture on his Instagram of like the behind 574 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: the scenes of it that looked really cool, And somehow 575 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: I've really become a machine gun Kelly fan this year. 576 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: Like not only have I started listening to his music, 577 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: but he's been popping up a lot of movies I've 578 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: been seeing, and I'm actually kind of enjoying him now 579 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: as an actor and as a person. I think the 580 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: next thing for him is probably to do a movie 581 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: with his girlfriend making fox like I would probably watch 582 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 1: it now because I've become such a machine gun Kelly 583 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: fan that I'm enjoying his work. And I liked him 584 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: in this movie too, And like I said, I love 585 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: that Jamie Foxx is the star and they focused so 586 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: much on him in this movie and it really pays 587 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: off in every aspect of that. And I like him 588 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: as a leading man. You know, I really would like 589 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: to see him more in like Superhero Roles. I think 590 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,479 Speaker 1: he does a really great job at it. I remember 591 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: when the sequel to The Amazing Spider Man came out 592 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: and he played one of the villains in that movie. 593 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: That was my favorite thing going into it, like expecting 594 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: to see and I thought he did a really great job. 595 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: Even though that wasn't that great of a movie, so 596 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: I liked the fact that he has another shot at that. 597 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: I think he does a really great job in this genre. 598 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: He's just a really talented guy, seems like a nice guy. 599 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: I've never met him, but I've stood beside him once 600 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: when he took a picture first Chris Pratt, which was 601 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: a really weird experience, but that was my one interaction 602 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: with Jamie Foxx, So just with that, I would like 603 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: to see him do well. So overall, if I had 604 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: to rate this movie, it's it really walks a fine 605 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: line between a three and a three point five out 606 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: of five pills, and I was thinking about it more today. 607 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: I gave myself a meant to kind of reflect on 608 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: the movie before I did a, you know, instant review, 609 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: because sometimes my instant reaction is like, okay, I straight 610 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: on hated and loved it. So I gave myself like 611 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: a day to kind of sit on this and think 612 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: about it. But I am gonna go with three point 613 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: five out of five pills because even the things I 614 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 1: didn't like or thought maybe they needed more of never 615 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: held me back from enjoying the movie. And it's also 616 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm realizing more and more how much I am kind 617 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: of depending on Netflix for new movies with the ability 618 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: without the ability to go to the movie theater. Right now, 619 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: I'm kind of really going to Netflix for movies unlike 620 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: I have before. Before I would always go to the 621 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: movie theater and only go to Netflix to watch TV shows. 622 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: But now it's really become one of my main sources 623 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: of watching new movies, and I think they're so close 624 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: to being like my primary go to. And you know, 625 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm really putting a lot into them to put out 626 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: the best movies right now because it's really all I'm 627 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: having to watch at home. And I think this movie 628 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: is really close to being not only a good streaming movie, 629 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: but it would have been an enjoyable movie theater movie. 630 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: But it also would have been a really good movie 631 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: if I saw it in theaters, maybe have been enjoyed 632 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 1: it a little more like the big Sound in the 633 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: bigger screen. But if you're looking for something to watch 634 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: that has some action, has some grid, has some violence, 635 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,719 Speaker 1: and also has you know, that sci fi superhero element, 636 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: I think this is perfect. It's almost like an Avengers 637 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,719 Speaker 1: movie meets like a John Wicks. So I think if 638 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: you're into that kind of category. I think, give this 639 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: movie a shot. At only about ninety minutes, it's not 640 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: that big of an investment if you end up not 641 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: liking it. But I think it's a pretty good watch. 642 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: So again, Project Power three point five at a five pills. 643 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: All right on the podcast? Now I have my girlfriend's 644 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: a little brother Houston. What's up man? So why I 645 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: wanted to bring you on the podcast is I saw 646 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: a movie with that when I was fourteen years old, 647 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: just turned fifteen, So it came out two thousand five, 648 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: and now in celebrating its fifteen year anniversary, and I 649 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: was like, what if I got you on to watch 650 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: this movie to see if it holds up over time, 651 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: because I remember when it came out. I don't think 652 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: it was a huge Disney movie, but for me, it 653 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: was a movie I remember watching and thinking it was 654 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: pretty cool and one that I think would be cool 655 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: for people to go back and watch and kind of 656 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: see what you thought about it because you're fourteen years old, 657 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: kind of like in the movie what We're Gonna talk About, 658 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: it's called sky Hive, it's about them going into their 659 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: first year of high school. What you are too? So 660 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: what did you think about the movie watching it, Well, 661 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: I've seen worst Disney movies in the first place. Okay, 662 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: I've had to have like high standards. Why because most 663 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: Disney movies I've seen now they're usually not as good 664 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: as they used to be. So I was thinking, like 665 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: after like I like all those Disney movies from like 666 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: the late nineties, like all the original Okay, so when 667 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: I saw this movie first of all, to it, I 668 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: thought it was funny. I liked it. We've seen the 669 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: movie I was seeing well on fourteen. I usually don't 670 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: watch any of these movies much more now, So as 671 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: I was watching the movie, I thought it was really good. 672 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: I just for a Disney movie. I had a fun, 673 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: love of fun watching it. What was your favorite kind 674 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: of superpower in the movie? Speed? Speed? So, if you 675 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: could have any kind of speed or any kind of superpower, 676 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: what would it be? Would it be super speed? What 677 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: about that is? Like what you want to do with it? 678 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: Because I kind of thought about this, and I was thinking, like, 679 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: I think everybody wants to fly, like that would be 680 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: kind of the coolest thing, Like, okay, being able to 681 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: fly would be cool, and they do do that in 682 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: this movie. But I kind of think like Wolverines, like 683 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: being able to heal yourself would be the best superpower 684 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: almost in a way immortal, Yeah, because if there's no 685 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: situation you can be in that you can't get out of, 686 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: Like if you can only fly or go fast, I 687 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: feel like that can only get you so far. And 688 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: I was also thinking, like what if you run into 689 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: something going fast and you just like obliterate into pieces, 690 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: you're dead. But if you have the ability to regenerate 691 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: yourself and heal over time, I think that's kind of 692 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: like the O G superpower. I mean, that is really superpower. 693 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: The reason I like superspeedes because when you're running, you 694 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: can move your you feel like you're at your own pace, 695 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 1: So I don't think you'd run into anything because to you, 696 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: you're just running, but to everyone else, you're like hitting 697 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: the dash. Like have you seen that scene from X 698 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: Men Quicksilver and or he's running it through the house 699 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: and it's all in slow motion, grabbing all the kids 700 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: and the goldfish and throwing them out. That's all. I 701 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: think superspeed would be super overpowered because that was only 702 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: like I spent two seconds, but the movie clip went 703 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: over and down five minutes. So when you watched this 704 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: movie it came out fifteen years ago, did it look 705 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: old to you? It did not look bat old. It 706 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,479 Speaker 1: was a little bit it looks it looks fine to me. 707 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: It does not look at old when you like when 708 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: you as far back as like movies go, where did 709 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: they like get to like, Okay, this feels like an 710 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: old movie to me? Is it early two thousands? Because 711 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: you were born in what two thousands? So anything before 712 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: that you watched, like a movie from the nineties, you think, like, 713 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: that was such a long time ago. I think that 714 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: was a movie because I was born So by the 715 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: time this movie came out, I was already you know, fourteen, 716 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: a boy to be in high school. And I think 717 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: everything from probably for me, everything in the eighties was like, okay, 718 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: that's kind of old and something like it was so 719 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: long ago. But now looking back and stuff from the nineties, 720 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: that's like how it is with you watching this movie. 721 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: So with the new Disney movies that come out, how 722 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: do you feel about them remake because you said you 723 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: liked the classics, how do you feel about them remaking 724 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: those with like live action? It depends on what the 725 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: movie is. I should have clarified that. So I saw 726 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: a Laddin O. The Latin remake was good, but I 727 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: think also helps that they had a good cast. But 728 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: then when I saw like the Jungle Book remake, it 729 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: was not nearly as good. Yeah, I did not like 730 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: the General Book remake. They left out parts in the 731 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: old movie. It just I didn't feel great about. I 732 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: was half and half about some of the movie remakes. 733 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: How do you feel? Did you watch The Lion King 734 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: the new one? Yes? I watched the Lion And have 735 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: you seen the original? Yes? The original blows really remake. 736 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: That kind of makes me happy to hear that someone 737 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: your age with like the old ones better because I 738 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: grew up with those movies and I think that has 739 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: a big factor to play in why I like those more, 740 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: because those are the ones that I watched when I 741 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: was a kid. But also I think the new ones 742 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: just kind of lose the fun and it's like, okay, 743 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: now I'm just watching them kind of it's more serious, 744 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: and especially with like the new Mulan that's coming out, 745 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: it looks like straight on full of serious, just looks 746 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: like fighting it. So with Sky High, what what rating 747 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: would you give it? I would watch it again, so 748 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: eight Alton eight out of ten. Okay, did you recognize 749 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: anybody from the movie? Yeah? Kurt Russell? Really so you 750 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: know who Kurt Russell? Yeah?

See? 752 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: That's what That's what I was wondering about, because he's 753 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: an old school actor. What other movie do you remember 754 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: him from? Um? Trying to think Skyhid Gardens the Galaxy? 755 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, who would you say, is like the coolest 756 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: actor right now? With like people you go to school 757 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: with all your friends, who is like the coolest actor, 758 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: like the biggest movie starre that everybody talks about?
