T r Oh. 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: And on this episode, I am talking about sequels that 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,159 Speaker 1: are better than the original movies, which I think is 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: a very hard thing to do with very few movies 7 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: have done it. But I'll break down what sequels I 8 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: think are better than the originals, and I also asked 9 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 1: a bunch of you guys on Twitter for your opinion. 10 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: There's some I agree with and there's some I disagree with, 11 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: so I can't wait to get into those, so we'll 12 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: talk about all that. I also did a deep dive 13 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: into a movie franchise this week, and I'm exploring the 14 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: Ocean's movies, so Ocean's eleven, Oceans twelve, thirteen, and even 15 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: to spin off Oceans eight. I watched all those this 16 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: week and I'm gonna break down and rank those and 17 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: give my reviews on each of those films. And I'm 18 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: also going to talk about this really interesting study that 19 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: came out last week about how the majority of people 20 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: now just want to watch new movies at home. So 21 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: I kind of want to get into and break down 22 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: what I think movie theaters will have to do to 23 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: adapt to people now getting a taste of what it's 24 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: like to have brand new movies in our house use 25 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: and how they're going to kind of get us to 26 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: go back into the theaters to watch new movies. So 27 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: we'll break down all those things in this episode. And again, 28 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: it just means a lot to see all the new 29 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: listeners here checking out the podcast listening every week.

Let's get started. In a world where everyone 53 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: and their mother has a podcast, one man stands to 54 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before in a 55 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: movie podcast, a man with so much movie knowledge piece 56 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: basically like a walking on MTV with glasses from the 57 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: Nashville podcast Networking Pies Movie MI Movie Podcast. All right, 58 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: so let's get right into it, talking about sequels that 59 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: were better than the original movies. I asked you guys 60 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: on Twitter for your opinions, and I'm excited to get 61 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: to those responses because I think there's some movies that 62 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: are just undeniably better than the originals, and I'm excited 63 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: to talk about those. But even what I'm probably more 64 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: excited about are the ones that I disagree with you 65 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: guys on which I like it. What we can disagree 66 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: about a movie, especially when it comes to sequels. So 67 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: I also want to set the stage, and I always 68 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: set the stage with the criteria for what I have 69 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: going into this episode. So what a sequel is defined as, 70 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: first of all, is anything that comes after the first one. 71 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: So it doesn't necessarily have to be the part two 72 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: of a movie. Anything that comes after the first one, 73 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: whether it be a trilogy or beyond. I'm considering all 74 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: those movies. So if there's any movie in the line 75 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: of a franchise that was better than the original movie, 76 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: they can go on this list. So it could be 77 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: a part three, he could be a part four. It 78 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be the second movie. Second of all, 79 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: I also wanted to break down some of these by 80 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: the numbers and by critic reviews, however they were received. 81 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: So if a movie had more OSCAR nominations for a sequel, 82 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: maybe you can then maybe you can take that into 83 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: consideration as well. So I kind of broke down the 84 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: first ones of just by the numbers, what movies were 85 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: actually better as sequels than the original they perform better, 86 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: And then I'll just kind of get into my own 87 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: personal opinion know what I enjoyed more and what I 88 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: think holds up better over time. So first of all, 89 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: I just want to get into the ones that kind 90 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: of just as a matter of fact, these are actually 91 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: seen as better movies in the originals on paper. So 92 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: first of all, I think you gotta throw out The Godfather, 93 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: which I'm not really a big fan of the Godfather movies. 94 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: I like a good gangster movie, but something about those 95 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: movies They're very long and very drawn out, and I 96 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: don't feel like they're a little bit before my time, 97 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: and I never really found myself getting back into those movies. 98 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: But on paper they have received a bunch of nominations. 99 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: Each one of the trilogy has been nominated for Best Picture, 100 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: which is a very hard thing to do because when 101 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: the Academy Awards set out to pick the movies for 102 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: Best Picture, it's very rare that they pick a sequel, 103 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: because what the best picture has to be is a 104 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: novel movie. It has to be never done before, or 105 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: a story told in a way that hasn't been seen 106 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: before in the big screen. But when you come with 107 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: a sequel, it's like, Okay, you've already done a part 108 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: one of this, what could make it so different that 109 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 1: it would be worthy of the Best Picture nomination. That's 110 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: a big reason into why it's hard for any kind 111 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: of sequel to make it as a Best Picture nominee. 112 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: And very few movies have done it to even be nominated, 113 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: and even less have done it to actually go on 114 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: to win. So I'll actually address all those that have 115 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: actually been able to do it. But the god Bather 116 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: on paper, the whole franchise, Part two just one and 117 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: had more nominations, and Part one and two both received 118 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: the Best Picture nominations, So that's pretty crazy that back 119 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: to back they won for Best Picture, and then Part 120 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: three was nominated but didn't get the win. So if 121 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: you're looking at all these movies on paper, part two 122 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: actually has a better track record, and a lot of 123 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: the responses you guys had on Twitter was that Part 124 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: two was seen as a better movie and justify the numbers. 125 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: You can't deny that one. Another one you guys hit 126 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: me with was Lord of the Rings Return of the King, 127 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: which is actually the final in the trilogy and was 128 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: actually the first of the series to win Best Picture. 129 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: The first two word nominated but didn't get that win, 130 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: and in total, the Lord of the Rings franchise has 131 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: received eleven OSCAR nominations, which is a bunch. Now. Like 132 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: the Godfather movies, this was another trilogy that was hard 133 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: for me to get into, mainly because I feel the 134 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: movies like a lot of action. It's really just a 135 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: bunch of walking in, a bunch of talking and with 136 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: very limited action, I feel like in my opinion, and 137 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: I do feel though, if you do pick one of 138 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: these movies out, Part two has the most action out 139 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: of all of them. But I do feel like if 140 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: you pick one of these movies out to be a 141 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: standout of the series, I would have to go with 142 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: Part three, which I feel has the most action out 143 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: of all of them, and I would say is way 144 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: better than the original. So The Godfather and The Lord 145 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: of the Rings are really the only movies to win 146 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: for Best Picture that have been a sequel. But the 147 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: other one that's kind of in a different category would 148 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: be Toy Story. Now, it didn't win for Best Picture, 149 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: but it won for Best Animated Movie, which I believe 150 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: when Toy Story one and two came out, the category 151 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: didn't exist yet, so it may have even one more, 152 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: but both three and Part four got the nomination and 153 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: got the win, and for me, the whole Toy Story 154 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: franchise had a really close place in my heart. I 155 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: remember when the first one came out and it was 156 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: the first animated movie to ever use that c g 157 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: I technology, and I was like, this just looks amazingly different. 158 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: But not only that, the story was really great, but 159 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: I kind of feel like the one that really brings 160 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: everything together is Part three. I got really emotional in 161 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: the movie theater when I saw that movie, and I 162 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: feel like all around that that is a better movie 163 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: than the first one. Visually, I think it looks a 164 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: lot better because there's a lot of years in between 165 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: Part two and Part three. So it was also very 166 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: highly anticipated, mainly because the first two were so beloved, 167 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: But I feel like they got Toy Story a lot 168 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: more right in this one, and it really tugged more 169 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: at the heart strings more so than the first two, 170 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: because the first two really just kind of funny and 171 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: set the stage that way, but this one, I think 172 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: it kind of crossed that line of just being a 173 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: kid's movie to being the movie that the adults that 174 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: want to go watch it remember the movies as a kid, 175 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: and we're also able to enjoy it a lot more. 176 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: And of course it introduced the whole Toy Story franchise 177 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: to a bunch of new kids. So I really think 178 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: three is the best in all the franchise. I thought 179 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: four was okay but unnecessary, and I kind of hope 180 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: they ended there, like they didn't really need to make 181 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: the Part four. I liked that they did because I 182 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: was able to go back into the theater and watch 183 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: Toy Story on the big screen, but overall, the story 184 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: didn't really go anywhere further with Andy and with the kids, 185 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: So I thought they could have ended in a three 186 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: and would have been perfect. So I hope they don't 187 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: make a five. As much as I would like to 188 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: go back and see another Toy Story movie, I think 189 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: they kind of hold the magic of the franchise. They 190 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: should probably keep it at four, but without a doubt, 191 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: I think Part three is just better than the original. Alright, 192 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: So I got actually a bunch of tweets about this one. 193 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: Nicole Gauge was actually the first one to tweet me 194 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: about it, and it's for ace Ventura Pet Detective. Now 195 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: I'm really passionate about this one too, because I know 196 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: everybody likes the first one. But I was really young 197 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: when this first one came out. Probably it came out 198 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: in I was born in I was three years old. 199 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: I don't think I watched it right when it came out, 200 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: but I was still at most eight when I saw 201 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: the first one, and I felt it was just a 202 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: lot more adult and a lot more like the jokes 203 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: kind of I didn't really get all the way as 204 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: a kid. And then I remember watching a Spentura when 205 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: nature calls and thinking like, oh, this is so much funnier, 206 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: and it's more just Jim Carey kind of going all 207 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: out in this one. I think he had such a 208 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: big hit in the first one that they were like, 209 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: all right, let's do the sequel and just kind of 210 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: let Jim Carrey go and really take on the persona 211 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: of ace Ventura. And I thought he turned it up 212 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: to eleven pretty much in the next one. I also 213 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: just thought the story was better in the second one, 214 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: and there was a lot more memorable moments, memorable quotes 215 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: then in the first one. Like I know that the 216 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: cat phrases were born in the first one, but I 217 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: just think there were a lot more funny situational moments 218 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: in the sequel than the original. And I also think 219 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: just going back and watching these as an adult, and 220 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: even just watching them in the kind of scope of 221 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: the second one holds up better. The whole plot in 222 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: the first one. If you go back and watch now, 223 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: it's kind of like, oh man, they were really able 224 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: to get away with some of this stuff in the nineties. 225 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: So I think the second one is just a more 226 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: fun movie. It's less adult, so if you're watching it 227 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: as a kid, it's not thing that has any kind 228 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: of double in Chandra or just anything sexual in it. 229 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: And it's just a lot straight up like almost a 230 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: spin tour as a cartoon character put to life. And 231 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: I just think, now, if I'm gonna go back and 232 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: watch either part one or part two, I'm gonna go 233 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: with Part two with nature calls, So I think it's 234 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: better than the original. Alright, going through some more your 235 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: tweets now, another one that's really undeniable is The Dark 236 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: Knight being better than Batman Begins, Like you to say 237 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: anything more about that, It was just a better movie. 238 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: Batman Begins set the stage for it, but I felt 239 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: some of the parts of the story, we're a little 240 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: bit confusing, and it didn't really have that edge of 241 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: the Dark Knight yet. And then when you get to 242 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: the Dark Night, it's like, oh, this is just so 243 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: moving on an entirely different level from that opening scene. 244 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: It really has just NonStop action throughout and without a doubt, 245 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: is just better than the original. And then staying on 246 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: the Batman franchise, I think Batman Returned was a lot 247 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: better than the first Batman. Now. The first one was 248 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: a lot darker and a lot more serious and a 249 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: lot more kind of violence in it, but there was 250 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: something about making it more of a comic book style 251 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: movie in the second one, making a little more cartoony 252 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: that I felt brought a little more life to the 253 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: franchise and made me kind of enjoy it more. Now. 254 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: I like Jack Nicholson as the Joker. In the first one, 255 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: I didn't feel like it was anything great. I remember 256 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: watching it as a kid and I was like, this 257 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: is kind of just seen as a guy with the 258 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: clown makeup. I didn't really feel like he was and 259 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: embodied the Joker. But in the second one, I just 260 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: kind of like the Villa in a lot more as 261 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: Danny DeVito as the penguin, Like I thought he played 262 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: that perfectly and fit that role so great that it 263 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: kind of really made that movie for me. And I 264 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: also think it's the only time they've ever gotten Catwoman right. 265 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: So there's just a lot more that I go back 266 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: and like about Batman Returns that I ever did about Batman. 267 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: All right. Now, I'm a big Marvel fan. I've seen 268 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: all the movies, and I have to say, I think 269 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: the weakest superhero out of all of them with standalone 270 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: movies has to be Captain America. Now, he has kind 271 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: of redeemed himself over the years and I've kind of 272 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: having more of like, Okay, I can see why people 273 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: like him and why he's a little bit more beloved 274 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: than I feel like he should be in my eyes. 275 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: But I think it was that first movie that I 276 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: just thought he was a little bit boring, Like there 277 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: wasn't much to his character. That movie was very slow, 278 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: and it's hard when you have it placed back in 279 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: the day and it kind of has just at the 280 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: start of it as sober vibe, and I didn't really 281 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: feel like Red School was that great of a villain 282 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: in the first one. And his overall origin story was 283 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: just very He's slow and drawn out, but when you 284 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: put him into Captain America the Winter Soldier, it's like, 285 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, right into action. You have him 286 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: fighting Bucky and it's just this is where it kind 287 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: of gets good. This is where it's a little more interesting. 288 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: You throw in Black Widow in there, and there's just 289 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: a lot more action and right to the point. So 290 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: I still felt like it took me probably a right 291 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: around Captain America Civil War to where I was like, Okay, 292 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: I actually like Captain America now um into his character, 293 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: I like Chris Evans, but it took all those kind 294 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: of movies in between to get me to that point 295 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: because I feel like his origin story wasn't anything great, 296 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: and if they didn't have the addition of all the 297 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: other Marvel characters around him and the first Avengerous movie, 298 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: I don't think like his standalone movies would have done 299 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: as well. And also in Civil War, I felt it 300 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: was so heavy with Iron Man at that point that 301 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: they kind of like crow barded in there, like, Okay, 302 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 1: we basically have to put our biggest superhero, iron Man 303 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: and kind of put them together with Captain America and 304 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: really make them stand out a lot more, and I 305 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: think that ended up being really successful for them and 306 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: was really important into finishing out that whole run of 307 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: the Avengers movie so easily. Without a doubt, I thought 308 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: the second one was way better than the first. Captain America. 309 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: My favorite would still have to be Captain America Civil War. 310 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: And I have to go one more that I agree 311 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: with you guys on before I get into the ones 312 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: that I can't agree with, and it was Hunger Games. 313 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: Catching Fire was way better than the original. Now, when 314 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: it comes to the books, I like the first one 315 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: the best because I think it gives the whole overall 316 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: story and you really kind of dive into Catanius and 317 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: everything that's going on in District twelve. But when it 318 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: comes to the movies, I felt like the first one 319 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: was so rushed, and also at this point, they didn't 320 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: know that these movies were going to be a hit, 321 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: so I felt like they didn't put the money into 322 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: these movies to really make them great. I felt like 323 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: there was just so much more visually they could have 324 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: done with the first one, and I also felt it 325 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: just ended so abruptly, which I guess it does in 326 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: the book too, but I kind of felt like when 327 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: I watched it in theaters that I was let down 328 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: a little bit at the ending. I know it goes 329 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: abruptly in the book, but it's like, Okay, it finally 330 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: gets to the really good part and now it's kind 331 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: of over, and it felt like a really big cliffhanger. 332 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: So I never really had that satisfaction with the first 333 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: one watching it, But then when the second one came out, 334 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: everything was kind of taking up a level. The costume 335 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: design was a lot better. I felt like it actually 336 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: looked like what I envisioned when I was reading the book. 337 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: The cast grew more and they brought all these other 338 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: characters from the book to life, and I just felt 339 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: like they put more thought in to all the minute 340 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: details that really made the books great, and they really 341 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: just got it better so easily. I think Catching Fire 342 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: was better than the original, and probably my favorite in 343 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: the entire franchise. All right, now, I just want to 344 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: hit on some of the one that you guys submitted 345 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: that I couldn't agree with. Starting first with Frozen Now, 346 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of people said that Frozen two was better 347 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: than Frozen one. And I think a lot of the 348 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: art human is that the music is better in Frozen two, 349 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: which I do agree with. I think it has overall 350 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: a lot more memorable songs in the first one. Maybe 351 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: they're a little more sing along a bowl, I guess, 352 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: and really the first one has let It Go, and 353 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: maybe the other ones just aren't as memorable. So I 354 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: get that part of it, and I know it's a musical, 355 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: and that's a you know what stands out a lot, 356 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: But I just think the story is better and Frozen one, 357 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: and I feel more attached to Elsa and that one, 358 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: getting to know her, even to when it comes to 359 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: that part of her first singing let it Go, Like 360 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: I've heard that song so much before I ever watched 361 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: this movie, because I barely watched the first one and 362 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: the second one this year, And when that song hit, 363 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, I finally get this song, and 364 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: I finally get the story. And I was just so 365 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: more dial into that first one finding out what happened 366 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: then I wasn't in the second one. I thought the 367 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: second one was a lot darker and a little more 368 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: adult even and I just didn't feel as connected with 369 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: the story throughout, and I didn't feel like it really 370 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: kept my attention like the first one did. And I 371 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: think if you put those two side by side, the 372 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: first one just goes a lot further. Sorry, guys. In 373 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: my heart, Frozen one will always beat out Frozen two. 374 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: Another one that a bunch of people said were the 375 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: Star Wars movies, that The Empire Strikes Back was better 376 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: than the original, And I don't know what it is 377 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: about the original, but I just feel it's just so 378 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: more that you just get dropped into the world of 379 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: Star Wars. Like in the first Star Wars, you kind 380 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: of just accept everything, like they bring in all these 381 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 1: characters and you don't really know what everything is connected, 382 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: but you're like, this is cool, Like I get it. 383 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what all these things that they're referencing, 384 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: and I don't know everything that's going on at this point, 385 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: but I'm just focused in on what they're showing me, 386 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: what they're telling me, and I'm into it. Like I 387 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: I like the introduction of all the characters. I like 388 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: that it starts out would mainly just R two, D 389 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: two and C three p O and being told from 390 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: their point of view. And I just really like the 391 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: origin story of Star Wars in the first movie of 392 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: being introduced to this whole new world, getting to know 393 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: all these new characters, and then just going on that 394 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: first journey with them. Now I get that in the 395 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: second one you get into a little bit more of 396 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: the iconic stuff with Darth Vader, and the whole story 397 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: kind of really starts developing and getting into the second one. 398 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: But even looking at this one by the numbers, like 399 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: this was the only one to be nominated for Best Picture, 400 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: it received the most nominations and wins for that matter, 401 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: and I just think you really can't deny that the 402 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: first one just had a bigger cultural impact that all 403 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: the others that followed before. So I just think, without 404 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: a doubt the first one can't be competed with on 405 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: any sequel. So sorry, guys, I just think that's the 406 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: best one. So that's where I'm at on all those 407 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: Thanks everybody for all the tweets. I hope you enjoyed 408 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: this discussion. If you disagree with me, it just hit 409 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: me again on Twitter and make your arguments there. I'm 410 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: on Twitter at Mike Destro that's Mike d E E. 411 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: S t r O. Hit me up, all right, So, 412 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: speaking of movies with a bunch of sequels. What I 413 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: did this week for my reviews is I wanted to 414 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: dive into an entire franchise, and the franchise I picked 415 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: was all the Oceans movies. So what I'm talking about 416 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: is the original trilogy and the one spinoff that came 417 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: out last year. I'm not going back as far as 418 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: the original Oceans eleven nineteen sixty movie, just because I 419 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: wanted to look at the Oceans movies that we know, 420 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: and then the spinoff that was I don't say controversial, 421 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: but kind of. It wasn't seen as a sequel. It's 422 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: it's labeled as a spinoff. But I wanted to include 423 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: that in here as well and just rank all of 424 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: them and give kind of my reviews for each one 425 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: as how I enjoyed them. So starting first at number 426 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: four is going to be Oceans twelve, which I just 427 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: felt was the outright weakest of the movies, because now 428 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: they're coming off a really strong one with Oceans eleven, 429 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: which came out in two thousand one. Three years later 430 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: Oceans Swolf came out in two thousand and four. I 431 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: wouldn't say that this one was a bad movie. I 432 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: just felt it kind of had identity crisis, because what 433 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: made the first one is it just followed one heist 434 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: and right away. What I didn't like about this movie 435 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: is that it like, I'm okay with things being unbelievable, 436 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: Like I buy into the fact that they could break 437 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: into this place and actually steal this stuff. I believe 438 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: a movie creates the world, but they have to abide 439 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: by the rules that they create, so I'm not criticizing 440 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: it for that. But how this movie kind of starts 441 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: out is they're threatened by the guy who's in the 442 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: first one, which I'll get into my review later, and 443 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: it just kind of comes out and hits him with 444 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: this thing of like, Okay, you have to collect all 445 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: this money that you owe me, and you have this 446 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: long to do it, and they just kind of buy 447 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: into it right away. I felt like there was no 448 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: kind of fight back of like them coming up with 449 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: another plan and they just kind of go right into it. 450 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, yeah, well what he says, and they 451 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: just kind of rolled over so easily that I didn't 452 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: like it. I didn't feel like it fit their characters 453 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: because in the first one they're just so strong of 454 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: like going after this guy and taking his money, and 455 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: then here they're just like, oh, yeah, I look better 456 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: give it back before he gets mad at us. I 457 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: just didn't really like how it's set off at the 458 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: very beginning, and then getting into the movie, I just 459 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: feel it's a little clunky because how the first one 460 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: focuses on one heist, this one has a bunch of 461 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: separate jobs and they don't really go into full detail 462 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: on all of them, and it just kind of happened 463 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: and you're kind of confused at certain points. So I 464 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: felt that took a lot away from the movie. And 465 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: then it's not really clear like who the bad guys 466 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 1: in this one until like the very end, and then 467 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: I have this whole theory I'll get into later. Um 468 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: at the very end of this abow when they introduced 469 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: celebrities in the movies that are celebrities that they play 470 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: themselves in the movie, but yet they're dealing with other actors. 471 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: I'll kind of explain that whole thing here later. But 472 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: I just felt overall this movie didn't really do it 473 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: for me. I felt like about halfway through, I didn't 474 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: really Carol was going unlike all the other ones where 475 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, how are they going to pull this off? 476 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: Like what exactly is gonna happen? But about halfway through 477 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: this and I was like, yeah, what, I can see 478 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: why this one is really viewed at the best. So 479 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: at number four, I'm gonna put Oceans twelve. At number three, 480 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put Oceans eight, which came out back in 481 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: eighteen with an all female cast. Now, this isn't seen 482 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: as a sequel to the originals. It's seen as a 483 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: spinoff because it's not directed by the original director. Now 484 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: you have a really great cast in this one, Sandra 485 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: bull At, Kate Blanchet and had the way Mindy Kalin, 486 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: Sarah Pulse, and Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter and Aquafino, who 487 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,719 Speaker 1: all make up the Oceans all female cast, which I 488 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: think was really what kind of made this one interesting 489 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: and made me want to watch because you have essentially 490 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: a different take on the original franchise. And I actually 491 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: really enjoyed this one. I think I starts out with 492 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: kind of an ode to the first Oceans eleven and 493 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: it's Sandra Bullock's character who plays the sister of Danny 494 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: Ocean and basically what happens to her is exactly what 495 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: happens to him. In the first one, she's getting out 496 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: of prison, and while she was in prison, she came 497 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: up with this whole plan to pull off this really 498 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: big heist. And then after about the first maybe ten 499 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: minutes of the movie, I feel like it really become 500 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: the towne. And this one's probably a little more comedic 501 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: than the all the other Oceans movies. You have all 502 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: these comedic actresses and then just very serious actresses altogether 503 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: in this cast, so it's kind of kind of has 504 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: a really good mix of the of both like the 505 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: original ones, but I think it leans a little bit 506 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: more towards the comedy and this one so while the 507 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: action is still great and the whole overall heist is 508 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: really great, I think it leans toward a little more comedy. 509 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: So maybe that's why it didn't get as great reviews. 510 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: I think it was expecting because I think they were 511 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: just going for something different. But I think it works 512 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: really well together. I think the heist itself was really 513 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: well done and really explained in a way to where 514 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: it kind of makes sense even though it is pretty 515 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: far fetched. I think they broke it down in a 516 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: way so much said it was like, Okay, you know what, 517 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: this could maybe actually happen. I like that it was 518 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: placed in modern day and they do the same thing 519 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: again where they take real life celebrities playing themselves in 520 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: this which are interacting with people who are also celebrities 521 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 1: but playing different characters. Again. I'll explain this whole kind 522 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: of theory I have in movie rules that I will 523 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: get to the very end of this. But I thought 524 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: overall this was a very good movie. I enjoyed it 525 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: a lot. I know it didn't really get the greatest reviews, 526 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: but like I thought, they all had really great chemistry together, 527 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: and I would even go for the making us equal 528 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: to this spin off, So I was into it. I 529 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: think it's a pretty good movie. At number two, I'm 530 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: gonna have to put Ocean's thirteen. I like that they 531 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: came back to Vegas for this one. I like the 532 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: introduction of al Pacino's character in this one, and they 533 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: kind of go back to having that one original task, 534 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: that one original heist with a few other kind of 535 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: Renchester throwing in the gears. And it's kind of cool 536 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: to see them come back six years after the first one, 537 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: and everybody's like a lot better looking and a lot 538 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: more successful. I don't think they're so into the peak 539 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: of their A list status at this point and being 540 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: super rich and famous, so I don't think they could 541 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: ever really do this movie again at this point, but 542 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: I'm glad that they were able to come back and 543 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: kind of close out the trilogy. I think with overall story, 544 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: this one's pretty strong and it just kind of gives 545 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: you that kind of good feeling that the first one 546 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: gave you, and everything just kind of makes sense in 547 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: this one, unlike it did in Oceans twelve. So I 548 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: had to put this one at number two. Overall, just 549 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: a really solid movie, really great action, and finally, Brad 550 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: Pitt has a decent haircut at number one. I gotta 551 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: put the original Oceans eleven. Now, this one really set 552 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: the stage for the entire franchise. And first of all, 553 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: what I loved about this one is I really like 554 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: movies based in Las Vegas. Just something about the action 555 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: there and the views of the casino and all that 556 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: kind of stuff I just think plays really great into 557 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: watching a movie. It's very visually appealing, which I know 558 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of movies are just based in New York 559 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: and based in l A and you kind of get 560 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: tired of that a little bit, so when they go 561 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: to Vegas, I just really like that. And I really 562 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: like the heights in this one. I think out of 563 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: all the movies, it's the most satisfying once it's pulled off. 564 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 1: Its feels like the most intricate planning that they do, 565 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: and out of all these of like, okay, this is 566 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: all the steps to this, all the kind of intricate 567 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: parts and all the rules that everybody plays in the movie, 568 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: I thought really has a great payoff and kind of 569 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: works together well. Also, I just love that everybody's really 570 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: young in this movie, like Casey Affleck is in this 571 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: looking very little like Casey affle Like you got a 572 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 1: younger George Clooney and Bratt Pitt and it's kind of 573 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: all them before they're really super a list status, although 574 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: it would still all consider them a list at this point, 575 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: but there are a lot richer and more successful now 576 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: that making this movie would be impossible to do at 577 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: this point. There's no way you can get all these 578 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: schedules synked up together. And also, surprisingly I think this 579 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: one really holds up even though it came out nineteen 580 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: years ago. I think aside from Vegas looking a little 581 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: bit different and maybe like the cell phones they're using, 582 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: I think you could still watch it and still kind 583 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: of feel like it could have been placed in today's world. 584 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: It's also really great to see Bernie Mack in this movie, 585 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: and you forget that, aside from him being a great comedian, 586 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: he's also a really great actor, and I like him 587 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 1: in this movie. And then let's not forget that Julia 588 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: Robert does in this one and does a really great job. 589 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: And the thing I want to get to now is 590 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: the whole little thing that kind of goes throughout all 591 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:08,719 Speaker 1: these movies is that in the movies there's celebrities playing themselves. 592 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: So in like the first one, you have toforh Grace 593 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 1: and in the movie he's playing Toford Grace. And then 594 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: even in the second one, you have Julia Roberts who's 595 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: playing a character named Tess, but in the movie she 596 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: also plays Julia Roberts, and it's the whole thing. And 597 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: then Bruce Willis is in there. There's a bunch of 598 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: other celebrities thrown into this one, and then all the 599 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: other movies that I just kind of wonder about what 600 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: this world creates and how this kind of looks in 601 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: my head because I'm watching them and I realized that, Okay, 602 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: they're saying that these people in this world are celebrities, 603 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: but then you have to also think of, like, okay, 604 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: if they're a celebrity, and George Clooney is a celebrity too, 605 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: but in this movie, he's not playing George Clooney, He's 606 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: playing Danny Ocean. So it's like, in this world, if 607 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: he knows Julia Roberts is Julia Roberts, Like, wouldn't the 608 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: real George Clooney know Julia, don't? It Just it kind 609 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: of screws in my head a little bit because they're 610 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: creating this world of where one person is famous in 611 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: the world that we know because it's present day, but 612 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: it's also this person isn't famous, He's just a regular guy. 613 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: And then the other question I just have, like what 614 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: if they ask Brad Pitt's character Rusty in this movie, like, Hey, Rusty, 615 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: what's your favorite movie? And he's like fight Club? That 616 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: couldn't happen, Like he couldn't like fight Club because Brad 617 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: Pitt isn't fight Club. But yet in this world, all 618 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: these other celebrities exist so somewhere, I just feel if 619 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: you look back at the lines, somewhere these lines cross, 620 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: like at some point they're all connected with the celebrity 621 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: in the movie. So I get it, it's a movie. 622 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: You kind of have to displace that and not think 623 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: about that kind of thing. But I just feel when 624 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: your movie creates the world, you abide by the rules 625 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: that they create, and it just kind of gets loopy. 626 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: There's some kind of weird Baradocks in there in my 627 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: brain when I watched these movies, like something doesn't add 628 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: up here. There's a way that you kind of break 629 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: that code. So I don't know, that's a weird theory 630 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: I had. I hope that made some kind of sense, 631 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: But it's just something to think about. Whenever somebody in 632 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: a movie references an other movie. In any movie, really 633 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: like you to have to think, like, what if they 634 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: were in that movie? So it closed this out. In ranking, 635 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: I put Oceans eleven and number one, Oceans thirteen at 636 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: number two, Oceans eight the spinoff at number three, and 637 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: then Oceans twelve I put it at the bottom. I 638 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: think this is a really great franchise to bench right now, 639 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: mainly because they're fun movies. The actually is great and 640 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: if you haven't seen them, it's kind of fun to 641 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: take that first initial journey and they feel like a 642 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: roller coaster. So if you're looking for an old franchise 643 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: that dive into, I think this one is kind of 644 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: underrated and doesn't really get talked about a lot, So 645 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: check it out.

Alright. 650 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: So the last thing I want to talk about is 651 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: this interesting study that I saw come out last week 652 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: that said a new study says that of Americans would 653 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: rather watch new movies at home, And it just got 654 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: me to thinking of how movie theaters are gonna be 655 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: like within the next few months and when everything's kind 656 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,239 Speaker 1: of got to go back to normal, and I know 657 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: that there's really no new theatrical releases coming until that 658 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: first week of July, so everything shifted to video on 659 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: demand to stream it at home. And I gotta admit 660 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: I've actually been more open to it now because at 661 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: first I was a really big proponent of like, there's 662 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: no way I would stop going to a movie theater. 663 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: Like before this happened, like I was like, I like 664 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: going to the movie theater and I like that experience. 665 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: But now with everything kind of changing and feeling what 666 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: the experience is at home, I'm a little bit more 667 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: open to it. But I think it's very early on 668 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: with everything right now. I just think that's where I'm 669 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: at as a person when it comes to everything going 670 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: on right now and my willingness to get back to normal. 671 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: I'm a little more open to it now. But I 672 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 1: wanted to break down this study a little bit more, 673 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: so I put the question out there on my Twitter, 674 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: kind of gauging a little more because I felt like 675 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: just asking and finding out that you'd rather watch new 676 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: movies new movies at home, I think there's a little 677 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: bit more in there. So I asked, are you willing 678 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: to go back to a theater or would you rather 679 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: watch new movies at home? Asking that question, but I 680 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: gave the separate categories of number one, would you rather 681 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: go back in theaters when they open? Number two at 682 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: home only from now on. Number three in theaters but 683 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: not right now, so maybe later once things we kind 684 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: of see how everything goes, or number four, make them 685 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: both available, And actually what ended up getting the most 686 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: of votes was number four, make them both available. Like 687 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: people on this poll said that they would rather have 688 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: them both available, and I'm kind of thinking that's where 689 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: everybody kind of is, because it's a really great luxury 690 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: to have new movies at home. And I think that 691 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: movie theaters are hesitant to do this because obviously where 692 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: they make their money, it's not really from the ticket prices. 693 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: It's people coming in and buying drinks, buying popcorn, buying candy, 694 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: like that's where their money gets made from. It's not 695 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: really so much putting all the people in the seats, 696 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: it's all the things they can sell to you once 697 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: you're at the movie theater. And that's the reason that 698 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: they don't want this video on demand to really take 699 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: off to just you can just click a button at 700 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: your house to pay the fee and they get nothing 701 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: from that. So there's a really big pushback on that 702 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: going to as far as banning certain movie productions from 703 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: being shown in their theaters who have done it this way. 704 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: But I think what we're seeing now is there can 705 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: kind of be a happy medium in between because I 706 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: like having the choice. There are certain movies that I 707 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: feel need to be seen on the big screen, like 708 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: these big summer blockbusters just play different on a big 709 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: screen with a big sound that you don't have at home. 710 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: But I also know that a bunch of people, myself included, 711 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: have a pretty good home setup, Like we have nice 712 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: TVs that we've ever had before, with big screens, great sound. 713 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: We have sound bars, we have headphones, we have all 714 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: these things to watch movies at a better quality at 715 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 1: home and that comfort of, you know, just not having 716 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: to leave, Like if we want to just get the 717 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: family around, get our friends around to come over for 718 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: a movie and pay twenty bucks as a flat rate, 719 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: as opposed to going to the theaters and everybody having 720 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: to pay their ticket, everybody having to get on the 721 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: same page and for that, you know, all that kind 722 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: of other side and factors that go into it. It's 723 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: a lot more easier. But I feel like having that 724 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: choice to pick where you want to see the movie 725 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: would be a really great thing to see played out now. 726 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: I don't think they will be instantaneous, because I think 727 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: movie theaters are going to fight to stay alive, as 728 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: they should, as I support, but I also think there 729 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: has we have that taste now of watching it at home, 730 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: so they're not gonna be able to, you know, go 731 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: back to how everything was before. I think what's gonna 732 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: happen is maybe the line in between is maybe the 733 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: first two weeks that a movie is just available in theaters, 734 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: like two weeks. I think it's pretty quick. They may 735 00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: put it to like a month, but it's just the 736 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: available in theaters, and then pretty soon after it comes 737 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: to video on demand. It's not this whole waiting two 738 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: to three months to get it at home that we 739 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: kind of have to wait now, or even the longer 740 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,320 Speaker 1: of having to wait till it's on a streaming service. 741 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of where they have to move now. 742 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 1: They don't want to do that to be like both 743 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: at the same time because they'll feel like, Okay, they're 744 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: taking away our sales because you're having the ability to 745 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: choose right away. I think it will have to be 746 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: somewhere in between tow where they give that period of 747 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: time where it's theater is exclusive and then video on 748 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,720 Speaker 1: demand and then you go onto streaming and all that stuff. 749 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: I think I would like that a lot more because 750 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: there's certain movies, like I said that I'm gonna want 751 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: to go see you in theaters, like the big action movies, 752 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: the big superhero movies, I think have a better experience 753 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: watching them in theaters. But there's also just like Wrong 754 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: Comms and other movies that I feel you don't need 755 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: that big screen experience and maybe you don't want to 756 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: spend as much that it would be a lot nicer 757 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: just to sit down and watch him at home on 758 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,399 Speaker 1: a Friday night instead of going out. So I think 759 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: it actually helps those kind of movies that maybe don't 760 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: have as big a success that the box office is 761 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: to be able to have, just like Okay, I can 762 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: just watch this at home and it's a lot more convenient. 763 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: They may get a shot. It's also really great for 764 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: kids and family movies, like we saw what the Trolls 765 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: movie did so well with videos on demand numbers that 766 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 1: they made as much and actually more than the original 767 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: did in theater. So that's an undeniable market right there 768 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: they can still make a lot of money from. So 769 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: that's just my thoughts on the whole thing. I know 770 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: we kind of had the entire summer now to kind 771 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,839 Speaker 1: of wait until things start going back in and then 772 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: getting into the fall releases. There's still all scheduled to 773 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: kind of come out at the rescheduled dates. I don't 774 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: think anybody now has taken those away yet, so we'll 775 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: see what happens, all right, And that's the episode for 776 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: this week.
