1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to movie Mike's movie Podcast. My name is

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: movie Mike. You may know me from listening to the

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones Show, and I love movies. So I started

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: a podcast. But that's all I do. I talk about

5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: movie topics. I bring on actors, directors, and on this episode,

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: I want to talk about movie villains that deserve their

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: own origin story. I want to talk about what I

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: think at the top five video game movie adaptations. Hope

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: your subscribe. Thanks for listening every single Monday to the podcast.

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: Without any further ado, let's get started. In a world

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one man

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: in a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge,

14
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: he's basically like a walking audience. Davie with Glasses from

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: the Nashville Podcast Network Movie Movie Podcast. All right, so

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: maybe you saw the trailer that came out last week,

17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: but we finally saw what Emma Stone looks like in Cruella.

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen that trailer, here's just a little

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: bit of it now. I guess they were always scared

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: that I'd be a psycho. Their thing is I was

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: born crazy, born fast and at matters. So that got

22
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: me thinking about what major movie villains deserve their own

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: origin story. And I gotta say I really never expected

24
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: to want to watch a Cruella Deville movie. I never

25
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: really thought of her that much of a villain really,

26
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: to be honest, from the one under one Dealvation movies,

27
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: the hunderd Avations movies, she just never really, in my eye,

28
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: was someone that deserved their own origin story. But after

29
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: watching this trailer, I was like, Emma Stone really went there.

30
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: She looks really dark and kind of twisted, and it

31
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: has me kind of interested in learning about her story.

32
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: It was almost reminiscent of when I saw the Joker

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: trailer first come out, Like you didn't really realize the

34
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: kind of mental trauma this character went through, And I

35
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: think that this movie will really kind of dive into

36
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: that a little bit and kind of unraveled story that

37
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: we didn't really know. We just kind of knew Cruella

38
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: de Ville as the evil person in the movie. But

39
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: I just wanted to know what other movies you think

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: would make a good villain origin story. So at the

41
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: top of my list, I think one that has really

42
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: no question that and I don't know why they missed

43
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: out on making this movie. But and I know Marvel

44
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: in their whole kind of scheme of putting out movies

45
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: right now, they don't make villain origin stories. Really, the

46
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: only place you can go with them is on the

47
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: other side of getting like the Venom origin stories. But

48
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: Standos is the greatest Marvel villain that's ever been because

49
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: when you think about Marvel movies, a lot of the

50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: issues they had before was they didn't have any great villains.

51
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: You would go watch an Iron Man, you'd go watch

52
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: Captain America, and by I the end of the movie,

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: the next time you go see the next one, you

54
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: forget who the villain wasn't the one before. They just

55
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: didn't really have longevity and villains until they got to

56
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: Thanos st where they created somebody that you wanted to hate,

57
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: like you wanted to see him get taken down by

58
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: the Avengers, but they were never able to do it.

59
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: And I think that's why Thanos was just such a

60
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: great villain because he at the time in the movie

61
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: seemed unstoppable. And there's just so much to be told

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: about Thanos that you don't really know because he was

63
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: just alluded to so long in the Marvel universe, you know,

64
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: they would reference Stanos and like the end scenes, they

65
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: would just kind of make allusions to the whole how

66
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: this whole Marvel universe was going to come to an end.

67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: But once he's around, you don't really get the backstory

68
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: of why he is the way he is and how

69
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: he rose to power. I think that would be an

70
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: intense Marvel movie because I think even a point could

71
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: be made that maybe sometimes Stanos couldn't be viewed as

72
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: the bad guy. If you made a solo Fanos movie,

73
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: you could almost build it around him having more of

74
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: a reason why he's doing the things he's doing, Like

75
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: maybe he really thought he was going to try and

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,559
Speaker 1: save the world. So I would love to see Josh

77
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: Browl and come back a Stanos and do a prequel

78
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: origin story to Thanos. Let's talk about Voltimore. Now, what

79
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: do you think he's a great villain or not. I think, honestly,

80
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: he probably just kill Harry Potter and been done with it.

81
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: But I guess if you do that, you lose out

82
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: on the entire story of Harry Potter. But nonetheless, he's

83
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 1: a very famous villain, and I think in the world

84
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: of Harry Potter. They're trying to do other movies like

85
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: The Fantastic Beasts within the world of Harry Potter without

86
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: doing a reboot or without doing kind of anything with

87
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: the original characters. But I think where they're missing out

88
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: here is doing a Boltimore origin story, all the things

89
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: that led him rising to power and ultimately trying to

90
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: kill Harry Potter. I think there's an entire movie right there.

91
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: All right, want to talk about another superhero villain I

92
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: think needs the origin story, and Batman returns had Danny

93
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: DeVito as the Penguin, who I felt did such a

94
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: great job as the Penguin and it was such a

95
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: unique performance that I feel they haven't really done the

96
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: Penguin justice since. And you know, they've done so many

97
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: Joker movies. They've done Catwoman all the time, made a

98
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: terrible movie with Halle Berry, Yet we can't get a

99
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: Penguin origin story. I would almost just want Danny DeVito

100
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: to come back and do it. Now. You know, they

101
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: have that technology down to where they can d age

102
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: people the same effect they used on the Irishman to

103
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: make them all look younger. Why not use that on

104
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: Danny DeVito to have him come back as the Penguin,

105
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: because when you think about the story they told in

106
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: Batman Returns about Oswald cobble Pot, he has a dark backstory.

107
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: He was a psychopathic, deformed man born and abandoned by

108
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: his parents when he was a baby. Like that opening

109
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: scene in Batman Returns, when you first learned about the Penguin,

110
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: it's a really sad story. I got an awful origin

111
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: story for any kind of supervillain to be abandoned by

112
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: your parents because you're basically born with this deformity that

113
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: causes you to be what people call a penguin. And

114
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: if you give the Penguin the same treatment that you

115
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: gave Joaquin, Phoenix and Joker, I think you could have

116
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: a really dark story here because it kind of goes

117
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: a step further of not just having that kind of

118
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: mental illness and that kind of sinister energy in your mind,

119
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: but it also has the physical capabilities of the person

120
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: and that effect that it has when you wanted to

121
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: snap and become a super villain. So why haven't they

122
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: made this movie yet? I'm serious, why haven't they made

123
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: this movie yet? Somebody give me fifty billion dollars and

124
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: I'll go out and find Danny Devino and make this

125
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: movie all right. And if you listen to last week's episode,

126
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: I was talking about dark Disney theories and there was

127
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: one about Scar and he's supposedly in the movie eight

128
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: Mufassa after he killed him, which I went on a

129
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: whole thing of why I love Scar, why I think

130
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: he's a great villain. And I know they're doing Relativille,

131
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: which is a Disney movie, why not go back and

132
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: do a Scar origin story because in The Lion King

133
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: he's really just viewed as the outcast. Even when Simba

134
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: first goes to Scar, he's like, yeah, whatever, my dad's

135
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: king and you're just going like that would really make

136
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: me feel pretty bad if I had my nephew coming

137
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: up to me and knowing that he's gonna be king someday.

138
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: And there's something already in Scar's mind at that point

139
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: of him plotting to kill Mufassa and then find a

140
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: way to get rid of Simba, And you want to

141
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: know what got him to their what made him be

142
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: an outcast? And I've been thinking about Disney a lot

143
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: because I really haven't been a fan of the new

144
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: so called live action remakes I think they're okay. But again,

145
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: I was born in the nineties, grew up in the nineties,

146
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: and there's something about the original animated movies I just

147
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: feel have a lot more charmed to them. And that's

148
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: probably because I grew up with them. Of course, I'm

149
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: gonna feel that way about the things I remember when

150
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: I was a kid. And if they're going to do

151
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: all these remakes with the intention of having people kind

152
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: of watched them at a nostalgia and also share them

153
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: with their kids now, to kind of expose them to

154
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: these stories that they don't know about, why not go

155
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: back and kind of go old school again and do

156
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: that original kind of animation, just the thought and go

157
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: back and do an origin story in the original kind

158
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: of animation you did with the first Lion King, the

159
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: one everybody loved, and do an origin story about Scar. Now.

160
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: I know they did a bunch of sequels to The

161
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: Lion King, they did the one and a half and two,

162
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: they went straight to VHS, But I mean, they have

163
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: Disney Plus now, they have the space to where they

164
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: could put something out on like this, and you know

165
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: it's not going to theaters to that capacity, but hey,

166
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: maybe give us a Scar origin story for Disney, plus

167
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: this one I was thinking about. And I love the

168
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: movie Mean Girls somehow. It's a movie that I've seen

169
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: many many times, and I really can't remember the first

170
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: time I sat down and watched it, but think it's

171
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: a movie we've all seen at some point, at least

172
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: on TV. But Regina George, that's right, Regina George from

173
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: Mean Girls. We need an origin story about her rise

174
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: to the head of the plastics. How did she form

175
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: the plastics? What went on at that high school before

176
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan showed up? And I know they're trying to

177
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: reboot Mean Girls in some way. I know, at least

178
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan wants it to happen. I don't think it

179
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: will really work with her coming back and doing anything.

180
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: Get rid of Lindsay Lohan, focus on Regina George and

181
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: make a origin story of her rise before Lindsay Lohan's

182
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: character ever gets to the school. Maybe you lead up

183
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: right to that point, don't even mention the whole thing

184
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: with Lindsay Lohan, and then it's her afterwards. I think

185
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: she's a great villain. Now. Staying in the comedy space,

186
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: there's a movie called Home Alone, you got Harry and

187
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: Marv as the Wet Bandits later dubbed the Sticky Bandits.

188
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: How about an origin story about them, because obviously these

189
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: guys had a pretty twisted past to get to a

190
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: point to where they're scoping out rich people's houses and

191
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: are okay with invading a house where a little boy

192
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: is living, like there has to be something else going

193
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: on in their lives to get him to that point

194
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: to where they're actually gonna kill this kid. I know

195
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: it's never stated in Home Alone, but the whole story

196
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: is basically them going to the McAllister's house when they're

197
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: out of town, they find a kid, and by the

198
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: end of the movie, they are ready to murder this

199
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: kid just because there are some paint buckets at their head.

200
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: I want to know what did they do before they

201
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: got to the Kevin McAllister house, because you know, when

202
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: they end up getting arrested, the cops are able to

203
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: identify all the houses they've been in because of all

204
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: the sinks they left running to leave their mark. I

205
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: want to know how they got to this point. The

206
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: story of Harry and Marv, I think that would be

207
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: interesting along those same lines. I really love the original

208
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles movie, and the first one was so much

209
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: better than all the other ones because it was a

210
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: lot darker. And they made this movie based on a

211
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: comic book and it was supposed to be four kids,

212
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: but you have these Ninja Turtles fighting with real and

213
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: full weapons, and the whole kind of tone of that

214
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: first movie is really kind of dark and angry, like

215
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: Raphael has this kind of built up anger that it

216
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: didn't really feel like a kid's movie. And I think

217
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: a lot of it has to do with, you know,

218
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: the whole battle with Shredder, And I think Shredder is

219
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: a great villain, whether it be in the movies or

220
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: the cartoon. He's just very intense, but you don't know

221
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: a whole lot about him. And they've remade a lot

222
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: of the Ninja Turtles movies. I've still watched the reboots,

223
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: even though I'm not a fan of the c G

224
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a little too much for me. It

225
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: takes away the charm of the Ninja Turtles. I know,

226
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: I keep complaining about this, and this is kind of

227
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: me realizing more and more that I am getting older

228
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: as I've had a turn thirty that I like the

229
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: way things were when I was a kid, and I

230
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: get that a kid now probably loves these new Ninja

231
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: Turtles because they are huge and kind of funny still,

232
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: but are more like superheroes than they were those original

233
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: kind of charismatic Ninja Turtles. And the last one didn't

234
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: do so great at the box office. So I think

235
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: the next step here is to make an origin story

236
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: about Shredder and make it that dark tone. I think

237
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of going for that grittier remake. You can

238
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: see it in the Carrilla Doville origin story that's getting made.

239
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: That's kind of what you're going for. I think Shredder

240
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: lends himself as a perfect specimen for that kind of formula.

241
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: So a Shredder origin story is another one I'm putting

242
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: on the list. One more villain on my list is

243
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: also from one of my favorite movies of all time,

244
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: and it's No Country for Old Man, and Anton Sugar

245
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: in that movie is so sinister and you really just

246
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: kind of fall into his story at just some odd

247
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: point in his life. You don't know a whole lot

248
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: about his character, and that's what makes that movie so

249
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: kind of mysterious and so kind of captivating to watch

250
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: because you kind of just get thrown into it, just

251
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: like the cops do in the movie, trying to figure

252
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: out this guy. And he is such a force that

253
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: he almost seems like he's not human in the movie,

254
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: he's almost like a Michael Myers type figure, to where

255
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: nothing can take him down and nothing affects him. He

256
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: has an emotionless face throughout the entire movie. Is he's

257
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: killing all these people, and he does it so effortlessly

258
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: that you know, this guy has a really sick, dark

259
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: and twisted past, and I want to know where he

260
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: got the idea for that haircut. I also put this

261
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: question out on my Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook page. Here

262
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: are some of my favorite responses from you guys. Nikita

263
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: Carmen actually had a reply and she said the Little

264
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: Old Lady in the Goonies. That one made me laugh,

265
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: Like I was waiting for a Goonies reboot. I think

266
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: there needs to be a Goonies too. It's been a while.

267
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: They're remaking stuff left and right. Why not make a

268
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: Goony's reboot? But if we're going for an origin story, hey,

269
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: why not the Little Old Lady from the Goonies? A

270
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: lot of you guys also said Loki would be a

271
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: really great origin story, and he's actually going to have

272
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: an entire show on Disney Plus, so I think there's

273
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: something coming in the world of Loki. I think it's

274
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: kind of him post Avengers, so he almost made my list,

275
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: but I'm waiting to see what that show is all about,

276
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: because I agree Loki is a great villain before Stanos

277
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: really came to be in the Marvel movies, he really

278
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: kind of carried that torture being the best villain, but

279
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: he kind of goes back and forth whether he's good

280
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: or he's bad. So I almost had him on my

281
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: list as well. Another one I saw submitted a lot

282
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: was Bain, and I loved the way Tom Hardy did Baine,

283
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: And at the time when I watched that movie, I

284
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: felt like Bain was almost a more hardcore of villain

285
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: than Joker was in The Dark Night. Now I feel

286
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: a little bit differently about it now, but there was

287
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: something about Bain. Now. The difference between him and the

288
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: Joker is the Joker was just messing things up and

289
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: terrorizing Batman because it was enjoyable for him. He really

290
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: had no plan. His plan was just to cause anarchy

291
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: and destruction. That was really Joker's whole thing, and getting

292
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: underneath Batman's skin. He didn't really care whether he made

293
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: money or anything. He just wanted do you like to say?

294
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: In the movie Watched the World Burn, Bain, on the

295
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: other hand, was really trying to take down Batman and

296
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: ultimately leave him for dead. And in the dark Knight Rises,

297
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: you really get this kind of in the same feeling

298
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: that you felt like Thanos couldn't be stopped, you thought

299
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: that Bain was gonna just take out Batman. And my

300
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: real complaint with that movie was at the end that

301
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Bain just isn't an issue anymore, Like somehow he's just

302
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: like goes soft and doesn't really fight anymore, and he's

303
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: just kind of out of it. So that was really

304
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: my issue with Bain of not being the best villain

305
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: because at the end he kind of just fizzled out

306
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: and suddenly a non factor. He turns into like a

307
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: cat chasing yarn. And then finally, the last one I

308
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: think that I got the most out of everyone was

309
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: Ursula from The Little Mermaid. Now this one actually is

310
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: currently being remade into a live action movie, and Melissa

311
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: McCarthy is playing Ursula, which I think is a great

312
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: casting choice. Again, you already know how I feel about

313
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: the Disney remakes, but I do love Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.

314
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: Is that movie does well, I can see it happening.

315
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: If they're making the Cruella movie, why not go on

316
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: a step further and do the Ursula movie with Melissa McCarthy.

317
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: But again, I'm gonna wait to see how they do

318
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: that movie. Alright, So that's the list coming up. Next,

319
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the new Mortal Kombat trailer that came

320
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: out last week, and I'll give my top five video

321
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: game adaptations of all time. After this, I want to

322
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: start off first by reading this email from Jason. You

323
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: can always send me an email. It's movie Mike d

324
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com, and Jason writes, Hey, Mike, big

325
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: fan of the podcast. With the reveal of the photos

326
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: from the new Mortal Kombat movie, I would love to

327
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: hear your opinion on the best to worst be game adaptations.

328
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: Thank you for your time, Jason. And I was holding

329
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: onto the email for a minute because I really can't

330
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: base a whole lot on the first images that come

331
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: out after a movie like it's just too soon to

332
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: see what it's going to look like. But really you're

333
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: just seeing the first poster and it has no indication

334
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: of whether the movie is going to be good or not.

335
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: So I wanted to wait till the trailer came out.

336
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: The trailer that came out last week. If you miss that,

337
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of that trailer. Him sonya,

338
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: that's kin over, I'm luka all right, the Fate of Alright.

339
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: So after watching this trailer, I thought, this actually looks

340
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: like it has some potential. Now, the first one has

341
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: a bit of a cheesiness element to it, and it's

342
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: to be expected. It's a video game meditation. There's always

343
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: just a little element of cheesy when you're trying to

344
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: do a video game to movie, because you want to

345
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: incorporate things that the video game did and that are

346
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: recognizable for people who played the video game and now

347
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: I want to go see that movie. So it's always

348
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: just a little bit cheesy to incorporate those things. And

349
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 1: with a movie like Mortal Kombat, the first one kind

350
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: of tried to be a little bit more dramatic and

351
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: just a straight on action fighting movie, and it still

352
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: came off a little bit cheesy with the costumes and

353
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: the fighting and the overall c g I quality of that.

354
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: Now looking back and watching that movie, it looks very nineties,

355
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: but it has a charm to it. And what they

356
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: tried to do with this new reboot they kind of

357
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: wanted to work that nostalgia back into people who remember

358
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: the video game from back in the day, but also

359
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: give it the R rated treatment to where I think

360
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: this movie really is going to shine, Like, I think

361
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: the only way it really has of working is incorporating that.

362
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: And you kind of get that feel for it in

363
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: this trailer with the very R rated fatality. So you

364
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: get the blood, you get the guts like full on

365
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: like it was in the video game, and it's to

366
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: an extent to where it's very cheesy. There's a point

367
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: where sub Zero freezes the guy's blood and then stabs

368
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: him with it. Yes, he freezes some guy's blood and

369
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: then impales his body with that frozen blood. So that's

370
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 1: where you're gonna get from a Mortal Kombat movie, and

371
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: that's essentially what you want from a video game movie.

372
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: So I put together my top five video game adaptation

373
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: starting with number five, Tomb Raider, the original one with

374
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: Angelina Jolie. Tomb Raider was a great video game. And

375
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: what I loved about Tomb Raider is I felt like

376
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: Angelina Jolie was the perfect match for that. At that time,

377
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: she was still the biggest Hollywood actress and she looked

378
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: like Laura Croft. And again, you're not gonna make the

379
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: best movie from a video game meditation like that, but

380
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 1: I think that one's pretty solid at number five. At

381
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: number four, I would put Super Mario Brothers. Now, this

382
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: isn't really viewed in any way of being a great movie.

383
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: To be honest, it's kind of an awful movie. It's

384
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: so bad that it's good though, So that's why I

385
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: put it on this list, because it's nothing like you

386
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: wanted it to be. Because Super Mario Brothers. It's quite

387
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: arguably the most recognizable video game of all time, Like

388
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: everybody knows Super Mario. And when I wanted to watch

389
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: this movie as a kid, I wanted to see the big,

390
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: colorful things. I wanted to see the gumbas like they

391
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: are in the video game. I wanted to see an

392
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: animated Yoshi and I got none of that. I got

393
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: a story basically about two plumbers that get trapped into

394
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: this weird underground rave like that is what the Super

395
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: Mario Brothers movie is. But it's so bad and so

396
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: just kind of ridiculous and makes no sense. The movie

397
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: was entirely rushed. There's a whole disaster story how this

398
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: movie got made. John Quizamba was on set like didn't

399
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: want to do it. He's like they fired directors. There

400
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: was just so much drama with this movie getting made.

401
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: But it was just such a big anticipated movie that

402
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: it had to come out, and what we got is

403
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: not what we wanted. But looking back and remembering watching

404
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: that movie as a kid, now it's still a movie

405
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: I love. So I will put that one at number four.

406
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: At number three, I'm putting the movie that came out

407
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: last year, which is what I say the front runner

408
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: to win Best Picture at the Oscars, Sonic the Hedgehog.

409
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: And it took me a while to warm up that

410
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: I actually enjoyed this movie when I went to go

411
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: see it in theaters, because I think I was overly

412
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: critical because I love Sonic the Hedgehog as a kid,

413
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: and having a friend in the trailer park with the

414
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: Sega Genesis was the ultimate thing as a kid because

415
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: I didn't own one, but when I did, I wanted

416
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: to go over and play Sonic the Hedgehog. And what

417
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: this movie actually did was incorporate all the things from

418
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: the video game that we loved, like the running around,

419
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: the gathering rings, the Dr robot Nick played by Jim Carey,

420
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: like all of that cartoon me sense from the video

421
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: game was in this movie. And not only that, you

422
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: get a little bit emotional attachment to Sonic kind of

423
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: being this alien creature that's just trying to make friends

424
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: and be understood. So you have that kind of emotional

425
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: story too, on top of the video game action. So

426
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: it's crazy to say that Sonic the Hedgehog was actually

427
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: a really good, just overall movie. I had to put

428
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: it as number three. At number two, I'm going with

429
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: the one I was talking about earlier, Mortal Kombat, And

430
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: I think why I loved this one so much is

431
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: because they did a great job at taking the way

432
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: the characters looked in the video game and making them

433
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: look just like that in the movie. Like I want

434
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: sub Zero to be wearing the blue suit, I want

435
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: Scorpion to be wearing the orange or dark yellow whatever.

436
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: That is, and again it's an awfully cheesy movie too,

437
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: But the first one you really can't mess with now.

438
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: If you want to talk about Annihilation, that one was terrible.

439
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: But I think even now, if you went back and

440
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: watched the original Mortal Kombat, it's still be pleasantly surprised.

441
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: It's actually a pretty good movie. And at number one,

442
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: I am putting Pokemon the first movie MW two strikes

443
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: back now. I was a huge fan of Pokemon, like

444
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: I think every kid who grew up in the early

445
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: two thousands was. I collected all the cards, I played

446
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: all the Game Boy games, I played the N sixty

447
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: four games. And when this movie came out in I

448
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: think it's the most ecstatic I've ever been to go

449
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: to a movie theater. And the great thing about Pokemon

450
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: is they do such a great job at promoting the

451
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: show and the movies. Everything they do, it's just so

452
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: well promoted. You see it now happening and McDonald's with

453
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: adults going to McDonald's to buy happy meals to get

454
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: these Pokemon cards. And even the most recent Pokemon movie

455
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: I went to watch in theaters, Detective Pikachu, they gave

456
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: you a Pokemon card when you went and picked up

457
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: your ticket. And the feeling I had going into watching

458
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: this Pokemon movie was unmet in anything I've gone to watch.

459
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: I was probably seven years old at the time it

460
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: came out, and I didn't go to a whole lot

461
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: of movies as a kid, but this was one I

462
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: had to see in theaters, and I didn't get to

463
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: see it like the first couple of weeks. Maybe it

464
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: was like three weeks out and they had already been

465
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: in theaters, and I know initially they gave about Pokemon

466
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: cards and I remember they were a kid in school

467
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: I had when I was like, man, it only hed

468
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: could have gone on opening night. But from watching the

469
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: TV show to watching this movie, this is kind of

470
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: where my love of movies started to come from, because

471
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: it was characters I was already invested in and seeing

472
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: them in a long form movie and having a story

473
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: play out on the big screen was amazing and arguably

474
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: one of the most And I'm thinking about this now

475
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: of how emotional I got watching this movie in theaters.

476
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: There's an epic battle scene at the end where Pikachu

477
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: almost dies, but in turn, ash catch Um, his trainer,

478
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: puts up his a Live to protect Pikachu, and it's

479
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: an amazing story about how much Ash loved his Pokemon.

480
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: I'm getting emotional now as I talk about it, but

481
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: I think it's the greatest video game adaptation because it's

482
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: exactly what it was like playing the game Boy game,

483
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: playing in the N sixty four games. It's exactly what

484
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: you got into TV show, but seen on the big screen.

485
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: So they not only had people coming to them from

486
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: playing the video games, but also playing the card game.

487
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: So there's just so much into what makes a Pokemon

488
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: movie great. And of all these video games, it's easily

489
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: what I played the most, Like the only thing I

490
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: owned really was a game Boy, and I could play

491
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: this game for hours. And in case you're wondering, because

492
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: I know you were, the Pokemon I always picked first

493
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: was Chart Manager. He was my favorite to play in

494
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: the video game. As far as worst video game adaptations,

495
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: I'd say number one would have to go to Street Fighter,

496
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: because such an amazing game that we all remember playing

497
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: in an arcade, and such a terrible movie adaptation. They

498
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: were basically trying to make Mortal Kombat, but had none

499
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: of the style and none of the acting abilities to

500
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: pull it off. I would also have to go with

501
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: Max Paine, which was a great game on PlayStation, and

502
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: the movie really had nothing to do with the game.

503
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: They basically just took the Max pain name and got

504
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: people excited about that, but it was nothing like the

505
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: video game. Along those same lines, you have hit Man,

506
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: Doom Rampage, and Assassin's Creed, which I think all of

507
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: those movies they really just used the name of the

508
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: video game to really just get people like, Okay, I

509
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: love the video game, maybe all of the movie, but

510
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: there has to be a little bit something more than that,

511
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: or you just have to be like Super Mario Brothers

512
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: and make a ridiculous movie that's so bad it's good.

513
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: But that's what I think about movie video games. How

514
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: about we get into another spoiler free movie or view

515
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: talking about Nomad Land, which is available now well on

516
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: Hulu or in theaters if those are a thing where

517
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: you are right now. It stars Francis McDorman, if you remember,

518
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: for three Billboards out of Ebbing, Missouri. Before we get

519
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: into the review, here's just a little bit of the trailer.

520
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: My husband worked at the U. S. G. Mind in Empire.

521
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: I was a substitute teacher it is a tough time

522
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 1: right now. You may want to consider early retirement. I

523
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: need work. I like work. My dad used to say,

524
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: what's remembered lives. I may be spent too much of

525
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: my life just remembering. So let's get into what this

526
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: movie it's about. It follows her story after the economic

527
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: collapse of this company town she's working in in rural Nevada.

528
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: Plays a character named Fern who essentially loses everything. She

529
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: loses her business, she loses her husband, and then it's

530
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: basically living out of a van. So it kind of

531
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: starts with her at that point in her life. She's

532
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: working at an Amazon packing center and really trying to

533
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: find what her next move is. She's at this point

534
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: in her life where she is older but not really

535
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: old enough to retire yet, and she basically has this

536
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: crisis of like, she wants to work, but there's really

537
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: nothing for her, and she's deciding what to do with

538
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: her life. So what does she decided to do. She

539
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: decides to pack up her van and leave and travel

540
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: around the country. And I think watching this movie it

541
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: really made me feel different things about it because while

542
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: it starts off with her coping with the loss of

543
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: her husband, the loss of her job and her talent,

544
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: really kind of trying to find herself again. It's really

545
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: a great statement on not being so tied down to possessions,

546
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: and this idea of being a nomad and not really

547
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: having a home really comes into play, and it almost

548
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: makes it kind of beautiful in a way or kind

549
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: of poetic to just pack up all your things, live

550
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: out a van, and go meet these other people who

551
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: are doing the same thing. Very minimalistic life approach, and

552
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: you're kind of doing enough to get by by other

553
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: people's standards. But when you do this in this kind

554
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: of setting and you have other people around you kind

555
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: of doing the same thing, it feels normal, and it

556
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: feels more like you're kind of doing things for the

557
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: enjoyment of living out life. And there were some quotes

558
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: in this movie that I jotted down because they kind

559
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: of hit me and resonated with me. There's this point

560
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: where she's talking to this group of people who this

561
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: is a whole life. That's how they based their life

562
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: is living out of their bands, living out of their cars,

563
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: and traveling around the country, going to these meetups and

564
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: these campsites. And at one point this lady says while

565
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: talking about her life and you know, going out to

566
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: experiencing things really for the first time. She's like, I

567
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: didn't want my sailboat to be in my driveway when

568
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: I died, And that that line kind of hit me

569
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: because in life, we're always kind of worried about our

570
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: security and doing things for our future, and sometimes it

571
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: causes us to not really go out and live lives.

572
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes we spend our times working our jobs and trying

573
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: to earn enough money to you know, be okay if

574
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: something bad happened, but sometimes we never take the time

575
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: to actually enjoy the things we've worked for. And it

576
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: was in that moment watching that movie that it was

577
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: just like, WHOA, I almost saw myself wanting to just

578
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: pack up my things and go explore the land. And

579
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: throughout the movie, she's meeting these people who are approaching

580
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: the same kind of lifestyle she is, and talking the

581
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: way they do about the simple things in life really

582
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 1: kind of put a different perspective in your head. In overall,

583
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: I thought the movie was really well done. It's a

584
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: pretty slow movie, like it's a slow burn, but it's

585
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: something you can just sit back and kind of enjoy.

586
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: The stylistic approach they took, and just the overall storytelling

587
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: in this movie. I think it's really great and I

588
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: think it's more and more when I watch movies like

589
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: this that I realized why certain actors get cast into

590
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: certain roles. And Francis McDorman always seems to be in

591
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: really dramatic, powerful roles and you kind of wonder, like

592
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: what makes her kind of a like an Oscar worthy actor.

593
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: And I think it was watching this movie that I

594
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: realized that it takes a lot to play a character

595
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: like this. Well, it's not an over the top dramatic performance.

596
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: That's just something about her personality and the way she

597
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: portrays a character like this that I really don't think

598
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: somebody else could do. So I think it's a great

599
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: road trip movie. It's great in the fact that it

600
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: tells the story that really hasn't been told like this before.

601
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: You get to see some cool parts of the country,

602
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: and by the end of this you'll want to, like

603
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: I said, to pack up all your things and go

604
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: on a really long trip to find yourself. So I

605
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: would give it four out of five Vans and you'll

606
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: probably see this movie getting nominated for Best Pictures. So

607
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: if you're wanting to be on top of those nominees,

608
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: I would say go watch this one when you can.

609
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the new movie I Care

610
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: a Lot, which is on Netflix and a movie that

611
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: made me love and hate a movie at the exact

612
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: same time, and I'll explain why. I think it was

613
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: so infuriating that it was hard to watch, right, and

614
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: we won't ruin the movie. I think this is almost

615
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 1: a movie you need to go in and just know

616
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: that you're gonna love and hate it at the same time.

617
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: But no matter what, it's a very entertaining movie, right

618
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: it is. I feel like neither one of us picked

619
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: up our phones during the whole thing. And I don't

620
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: know what it was about it, but the overall plot

621
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: about it, it's a crooked legal guardian who is essentially

622
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: becoming the guardian for these elderly people, draining their estates

623
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: and just taking over their lives. That's how she makes money.

624
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: So a rare movie where the main character is somebody

625
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: that you don't like. Is the protagonist. You can't stand her,

626
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: and then she gets involved with this woman who all

627
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: will say is that she's not who she seems like

628
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: she is. They think one thing about her and they're like,

629
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna drainer of all this money, like an easy

630
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: situation for them, and you find out later that there's

631
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: some whole other world going on with her, and it's

632
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: really just kind of crazy, right, So that's what we'll

633
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: say about that. We just want to say our feelings

634
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: about it. So I felt like at one point in

635
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: the movie, you were like, I can't even watch this,

636
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: Like what was going through your mind while watching this movie?

637
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: I feel like an hour in I looked at you

638
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: and I was like, I kind of hate this. Do

639
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: we keep watching it? Like I was entertained. I couldn't

640
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: stop watching. But the plot just makes you really mad. Yeah,

641
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: and you're just not rooting for her, No, not at all.

642
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: And there's like two bad people in this movie. There's

643
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: a few there's a few of them too. Yeah, there's

644
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: just a whole bad situation. So you're gonna watch this

645
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: and you're gonna like, at one point, just wanted to end.

646
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: You wanted to be over. Not that it's a bad movie.

647
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: I don't, well, at least I don't think it was

648
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: a bad movie. I thought it was Yeah, like you said,

649
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: really entertaining. One of the most entertaining movies I've watched

650
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: out here, to the point to where I was so

651
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: sucked into the movie I didn't care about anything else.

652
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: I think I'm kind of having this effect now. Watching

653
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: so many movies at home, I find it's harder and

654
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: harder for them to keep my attention. Movies that are

655
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: a bit of a slower burn, I find myself wandering

656
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: off a little bit and wanting to do something else.

657
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: But this one had me totally in. So why didn't

658
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: you like it? At one point, I'm trying to figure

659
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: out how to word that without giving anything away. Is

660
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: it because you just couldn't stand your character anymore? Yeah,

661
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: she's just the worst. You feel bad for all these

662
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: poor elderly people, sad kind of it didn't make you.

663
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: I think that's that got to you. It made you

664
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: sad that they were taking advantage of these people, and

665
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: they were going to the court and just kind of

666
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: don't get anything away. They were defrauding the system, they

667
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: were just doing these things very unethical. It's a part

668
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,439
Speaker 1: of a whole bigger thing. But I found a lot

669
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: of people felt this way. I think this is the

670
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: most talked about movie I've seen in a while, because

671
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: you're gonna feel some type of way about it. And

672
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: you know what I say about movies that make you feel,

673
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: I love them, and did ask you at one point.

674
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: I was like, who said we were gonna like this movie?

675
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: And you were You said the Internet. The Internet. So

676
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. I think it's a good movie overall.

677
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: Like at the very beginning of it, I thought it

678
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: was gonna be spectacular with it like the first first

679
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: like thirty minutes, it felt so unique and so different

680
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: that I thought it was gonna be one of my

681
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: favorite movies. And then it goes from being kind of

682
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: something realistic to something totally unbelievable. Is why I kind

683
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: of got away a little bit of my ranking on it.

684
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: But what would you rank this movie overall? Three point

685
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: seven five out of five Diamonds. Interesting, I too, gave

686
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: it a three point seven five out of five Nursing Homes,

687
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: and I was right on the border of wanting to

688
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: go like, it's it's just not it's not. It's not

689
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: a four. It's just it's so close to being a four,

690
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: but it's not a four. For whatever reason, It's not

691
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: a four. It got a little too absurd, that's what

692
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: it is. It got too absurd. If it would have

693
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: just held that kind of realistic approach it had in

694
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: the beginning, I think it would have been a lot better.

695
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: But it almost went into like a fairy tale, and

696
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: I guess it's kind of supposed to be like a

697
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: satire a little bit. But it got just so obscure

698
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: that I wanted it to and and it never made

699
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: it to that four. But I think if you go

700
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: to Netflix and you're looking for something to watch and

701
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: you just want to watch something that's going to kind

702
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: of trip out your mind and just be kind of

703
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 1: a fun roller coaster, I think it's a great movie

704
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: for that. So no matter what, you will be entertained.

705
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 1: It's an entertaining movie. It serves its purpose. So there

706
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: we go. That's what we think about. I care a lot.

707
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: We'll get into some movie news now. I did see

708
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler celebrating twenty five years of Happy Gilmore and

709
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: he was out on the golf course. Okay, it's been

710
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: twenty five years since I've done this. Let's see what happens.

711
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: Huter McGavin, this is for you and I'm not lying

712
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: for your and that went pretty well dead. I think

713
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: it's just funny that Adam Sandler like still knows the

714
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: characters that made him famous. I know that people still

715
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 1: love that, and he's not cool enough to go and

716
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: do that character again. I just thought that was funny

717
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: and crazy to think that movie came out twenty five

718
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: years ago that I think I was talking about it earlier.

719
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: But I think I'm at that point to where I'm

720
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: realizing how some of the things that I grew up

721
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: with and we're I mean, that movie was still a

722
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: little bit before my time. I think it was like

723
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: four years old when that came out. But a lot

724
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: of the things that we kind of grew up with,

725
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: and like the early two thousand's are now older to

726
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: kins now, Like Finding Nemo came out in two thousand three,

727
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: but kids now we're in high school, we're like bored

728
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: than the two thousands, or like the wonder that was

729
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: the Mary Kayton Nashley movies. No one watches those anymore.

730
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: The straight t vhs, nobody knows those anymore. So that's

731
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: the kind of weird thing I guess we'll go through

732
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: as we get into our thirties. Also in movie news,

733
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: Jesse Plemons has been cast as the lead in the

734
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: new Martin's Corset in movie called Killers of the Moon.

735
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: The cast includes the Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert de Niro.

736
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be a big budget thriller for Apple Studios.

737
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: And I feel like Apple is about to get a

738
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 1: lot of new movies and you kind of see big

739
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: titles like this that once only went to Netflix. They're

740
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: now kind of being chopped around a little bit more,

741
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 1: and I think Apple kind of has the upper hand.

742
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: I think if it's one thing they're going to excel in,

743
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be movies. Aside from the Morning Show.

744
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they really have the TV shows yet,

745
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: Ted Lasso, That's true. They have a few TV shows,

746
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: but as far as the amount of Netflix and like

747
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: Amazon and Hulu have, I kind of feel like they're

748
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: their movies. They're getting big stars there. I mean, they

749
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: had justin Timberlake, so I'm curious to see what else

750
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: they come out with. I don't think there's really a

751
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: lot on their worth getting an Apple Plus subscription. I

752
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: think it's okay, but I don't think right now I

753
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: would tell anybody you need to have Apple Plus not yet.

754
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: Also in moving news, Joaquin Phoenix is going to be

755
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: in his next movie. Since he's been in The Joker,

756
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what he does now to kind

757
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: of follow up to that. And it's from the same

758
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: director as Midsummer. Do you say at Midsummer or Midsoma?

759
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: I don't say either. I have ever said that movie

760
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: title out loud. Midsummer I kind of like saying Missoma

761
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: because that's how it spelled. One of the weirdest movies

762
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, so much so that when I was

763
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: watching it, I just paused it when you walked through

764
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: the room because I was like, I don't even want

765
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: you to. But I knew what it was. I read

766
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: the whole synopsis, knew what happened. I know it's with

767
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: movies that I know I'm never gonna watch. I just

768
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: read the plot synopsis on Wikipedia and never watch it. Interesting. Um.

769
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: Also in movie news, China's box office is having a

770
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: better year than before. Last year, like before, COVID like

771
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: right now is like the best it's ever been. And

772
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: it's weird that they're watching movies that came out a

773
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: year ago, but having them like rand new, but it

774
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: kind of gives you hope that movies will go a

775
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: little bit back to normal, just a little bit glimmer,

776
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: just to know that somewhere they're working on right, I

777
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: think there's a little glimmer of hope there. And then

778
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: finally in movie News, they're saying that Disney Plus will

779
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: surpass Netflix eventually, at least in one country, which is

780
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,919
Speaker 1: a long time away. But when you think about how

781
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: long Netflix has been around and just how much they

782
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,959
Speaker 1: grew during the pandemic and how much they just grow exponentially,

783
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: I think just knowing that Disney will rival to them

784
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: at some point is a pretty big deal because they're

785
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: such a new service. But I feel like some people

786
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: kind of dis Disney saying they only have stuff for kids,

787
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: but there hasn't been anything just for kids in a

788
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: long time. We watch a lot of stuff on this

789
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: we do when we were watching One Division. Now, they

790
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: don't really have a whole lot of the like original

791
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: movie content, because I mean, they're so focused on putting

792
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: things out in theaters, But I think later down the line,

793
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: like I could see that happening. I mean, they're kind

794
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 1: of my favorite right now. As far as like going

795
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: on there and like looking around at what they have,

796
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: like Netflix, I'll go because I mean, they have a

797
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: new movie every single week. But as far as like

798
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: what I'm excited for, it's the stuff coming to Netflix,

799
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: all the Marvel stuff that's going over there, coming to Disney.

800
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: Plus That's what I said. I get confused with all

801
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: these streaming services. There's so many. I swear we have

802
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: like every single streaming service. It's hard to keep track

803
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: of what we have and what's on what all of them.

804
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, I just get I get frustrated. There's just

805
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: so many of them. And I know people say there

806
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: should be a thing where you go to one and

807
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: it has all your streaming services, But that's just Cable.

808
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: That's exactly Cable that we're going back to. We're reverting

809
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: in our technologies now. Yeah, but it's like all on

810
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: demand and it's new content, So I feel like it's

811
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: not the same as cable. I know, that's all I have.

812
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just tired of figuring out what

813
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: is where. But anyway, that is movie news. That's a review.

814
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: Finally we get to our shout out of the week,

815
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: and this week it is going to our friend on

816

00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: excited to have this interview. I hit him up a

830
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: while ago because he's in a brand new movie that's

831
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,479
Speaker 1: already out in theaters and I was like, I see

832

Speaker 1: him doing interviews. If I could get him on the podcast,

833
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: it would be amazing because La Bamba has been one

834
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: of my favorite movies since I was a kid. Um

00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: He's also in the movie Standing Deliver, which I loved

836
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,080
