Thanks everybody for hitting 14 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: play and being subscribed to the podcast. You already know 15 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: what it is. Let's get into it. In a world 16 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one man 17 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: stands to infiltrate the years of listeners like never before 18 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: in a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge, 19 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: he's basically like walking on MTV, which glasses from the 20 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: Niceville podcast networking movie my movie. I want to talk 21 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: about movies celebrating birthdays this year, movies turning ten, twenty 22 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: and thirty years old. In two we'll get into what 23 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: movies crushed it at the box office, what movies took 24 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: home Best Picture, and also what movies took home Worst 25 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: Picture at the Razzies of each year. But most importantly, 26 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: if I could only take one movie from each of 27 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: these years, I'll pick which one that is and which 28 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: ones would be the only one I could watch forever. 29 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: So let's start back at movies turning thirty years old 30 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: this year. These are all movies that came out in 31 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: Before we get into the biggest ten movies at the 32 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: box office this year, let's just talk about the landscape 33 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: of nine. I would have been turning one year old 34 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: this year, so at this point in my life, I 35 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: had probably not seen any movie yet. If I had, 36 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: I was a baby and didn't know what was going 37 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: on in pop culture. Of the biggest thing you would 38 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: hear in music dominating the radio ways would be Nirvana, Yeah, 39 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: and everything else. When it comes to technology was in 40 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: its very early stages. In nineteen two, there were about 41 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: twenty six websites, so really the Internet wasn't a thing yet. 42 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: So when it came to watching movies, streaming was so 43 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: far away. We were still in the VHS days, going 44 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: to the movie days. This was even long before DVDs, 45 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: and I think the movies that came out during this 46 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: year are a big reflection of that. These are the 47 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: highest grossing movies in the United States according to Box 48 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: Office Mojo. In nine at number ten is under Siege 49 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: with eighty three million. At number nine is the Hand 50 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: that Rocks the Cradle, bringing in eighty eight million dollars. 51 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: At number eight is Aladdin bringing in ninety nine million dollars. 52 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: At number seven is a League of their Own, which 53 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: made a hundred and seven million. At number six is 54 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 1: Basic Instinct bringing in one hundred and seventeen million. And 55 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: then we'll get into the top five, which are the 56 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: ones I want to break down a little bit more. 57 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: At number five, bringing in a hundred and twenty mill 58 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: in is Wayne's World. And what's all These movies are 59 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: obviously not ones that I watched the year they came out, 60 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: because again I was one year old, But this is 61 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: a movie I probably watched years later, maybe I was 62 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: six or seven years old. And Wayne's World was never 63 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: really a comedy that I really got into or identified 64 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: with or found even all that funny. I like the 65 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: characters themselves, Wayne and Garth more than I actually like 66 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: the entire idea of the movie. So when it comes 67 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: to Wayne World, I probably enjoy the SNL sketches and 68 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: watching those back more than I would sitting down to 69 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: watch this movie. But I would say, of all the 70 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: sketches that got turned into movies from SNL, it's probably 71 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: the most successful and the most beloved, and I get 72 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: it and can see why, but I just don't think 73 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: Wayne's World will ever be one of my favorites. At 74 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: number four is Home Alone to Lost in New York, 75 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: which made a hundred and thirty six million dollars back 76 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: in two, which was a lot of money, and I 77 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: was greatly due to the success of the original, which 78 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: came out just two years before this one. I rewatched 79 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: Home Alone to over the holiday break, and I gotta 80 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: say that movie is way too long. The first one, 81 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: Home Alone is a quick hour and forty three minutes, 82 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: but they really went for making a longer movie about 83 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: the exact same thing, with Home Alone two coming in 84 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: at two hours, and it feels like two hours. And 85 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: while I think Home Alone is one of the best 86 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: Christmas movies ever, made Home Alone too. It lacks the 87 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: original sentiment of the first movie, the original warmth of 88 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: the first movie, and taking Kevin out of his home 89 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: and putting him on the streets in New York feels 90 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: less like a good Christmas movie and more like a 91 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: cash grab. So I could actually go without ever seeing 92 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: Home Alone two again. Right above that one at number 93 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: three is Sister Act, which made a hundred and thirty 94 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: nine million dollars. When I posted this on Twitter and Facebook, 95 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: there were a lot of big Sister Act fans, And 96 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: what I'm seeing in this top five is a lot 97 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: of comedy which was I feel like a lot more 98 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: prevalent in the nineties, and a movie with Whoopie Gold 99 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: as the lead. I don't think it gets any more 100 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: nineties than this one. I was surprised, though, to see 101 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: this one make more money than Wayne's World in this year. 102 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: I feel like Wayne's World is a movie people talk 103 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: about more as being one of their favorite comedies. But 104 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: if you want to go back and rewatch that one, 105 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: rewatch Sister Act. It's actually available on Disney Plus. So 106 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: that's at number three. At number two is one I'm 107 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: surprised by a movie that brought in a hundred and 108 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: forty four million dollars. In two is Lethal Weapon three. 109 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: Lethal Weapon was a very successful action buddy cop movie. 110 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: The original one came out in nine seven, and they 111 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: went on to release two, three, and four all in 112 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: the nineties and are possibly working on another one. Now. 113 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: When it came to who I wanted as my action 114 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: star in the nineties, I never really thought of Mel 115 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: Gibson being that person. My mind tends to go to 116 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: actors more like Sylvester Stallone, Jackie chan Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, 117 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: or even Will Smith. I would even take John Claude 118 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: Van Damn over Mel Gibson. But I think the one 119 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: thing you can't deny is Mel Gibson and as an 120 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: A list actor who sells tickets, especially in the nineties. 121 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: So number two is Lethal Weapon three. But at number one, 122 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: the highest grossing movie of ninewo was Batman Returns bring 123 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: in a hundred and sixty one million dollars, And when 124 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: it comes to Batman movies, for a long time, this 125 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: was my favorite Batman movie, and if it wouldn't have 126 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: been for Christopher Nolan and The Dark Night, this would 127 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: remain my favorite Batman movie. I thought it had the 128 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: best villains with Penguin Catwoman. So those are the top 129 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: highest grossing movies of this year. When it comes to 130 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: the OSCARS, best picture was Silence of the Lambs. The 131 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: worst movie, which was voted on by the Razzies was 132 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: a movie called Shining Through. It was a World War 133 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: two drama starring Michael Douglas and Melanie Griffith. Big box 134 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: office bomb, but not only that, critics hated it, so 135 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: it was the worst movie of the year voted on 136 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: by the Razzies. But some other movies to note that 137 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: came out in NINETEWO. I feel like nine two was 138 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: VHS Heaven. You had movies like three Ninja's Mighty Ducks, Honey, 139 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: I Blew Up the Kid in Beethoven. These were all 140 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: movies I just remember throwing in a VHS tape, hearing 141 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: the warm fuzz of it coming on, pressing that play button, 142 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: and watching these movies. There were also just some big 143 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: dramas like Malcolm X, the Bodyguard, American Me, A Few 144 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: Good Men, and a Quentin Tarantino classic with Reservoir Dogs 145 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: coming out this year. And then you also had movies 146 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: like in Cino Man, My Girl of Mice and Man, 147 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: Candy Man, Pure Country and Allege of their Own. So 148 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: what it comes down to, if I could only take 149 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: one movie from nineteen two, I would have to say, 150 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: because it was my favorite Batman movie for a long time, 151 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: it would be Batman Returns. I feel like that movie 152 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: still holds up. You almost could watch it now and 153 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: not even realize it was made in the nineties. But 154 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: if I was able to make it a double feature, 155 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: I would definitely take a League of their Own with 156 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: me as well. So overall, a pretty good year there 157 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety two, And now we'll move on to 158 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: movies turning twenty years old this year. Back in two 159 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: thousand two, I was turning eleven years old, going from 160 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: fifth grade to sixth grade. I'm pretty or I had 161 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: a DVD player by this point. They became a little 162 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: bit more popular in the two thousands, and then right 163 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: around oh one and o two they became more affordable 164 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: to the point to where I could get one. And 165 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: I don't think we realized how much DVDs changed how 166 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: we watched movies at home. Before that we were talking 167 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: about in the nineties, it was all vhs tapes, But 168 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: once the DVD player came around, I think the thing 169 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: we were most kind of mind blown about was not 170 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: having to rewind anymore or find the place you left 171 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: off in a movie. You could throw a DVD in 172 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: either just skip scenes like that. Just the chapter feature 173 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: was groundbreaking to us. And then I think the special 174 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: features is what I love the most, watching the behind 175 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: the scenes, watching things with commentary. That was groundbreaking. When 176 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: it came to DVDs, they were a little bit more expensive, 177 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: but man, was it worth it. I think the hardest 178 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: thing for me when buying DVDs back in the two 179 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: thousands was deciding on which aspect ratio to you could buy, 180 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: because I remember you could buy them in full screen 181 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: version or in wide screen version, and for some reason 182 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: I was very into full screen, and I think in 183 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: the two thousand's, right when I got a DVD player, 184 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: we stopped buying VHS is, bought everything on DVD, but 185 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: would only go back and watch our old movies on 186 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: VHS tape. So if you ever had a VHS DVD combo, 187 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, you probably grew up in the nineties and 188 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: the two thousand's and if you turned on the radio 189 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: in two thousand two, you probably heard this song, Yeah 190 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: How You Remind Me by Nickelback. But let's get into 191 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: the biggest movies of the year. At number ten bringing 192 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: in a hundred and fifty four million dollars was a 193 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: Beautiful Mind, a movie that not only gained so much 194 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: critical acclaim, but also performed really well at the box office, 195 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: bringing in that amount of money. A movie that blew 196 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: my mind the first time I watched it. It's very 197 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: rare you see a movie do that well at the 198 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: box office and also win a bunch of awards. A 199 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: lot of the times, the movies that get nominated for 200 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: the fancy awards don't really do so well. Sometimes they 201 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: make like a million bucks, two million bucks, But this 202 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: one bringing in a hundred and fifty four million dollars. 203 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: Back in two thousand two at number nine is Ice 204 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: Age bringing in a hundred and seventy six million dollars. 205 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: Talking about DVDs just a second ago, I think this 206 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: is a DVD that was I don't know, maybe required 207 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: by law for every school to buy. But it felt 208 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: like almost any time we had a movie day in 209 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: school and they rolled out the TV cart with the 210 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: DVD player. Now we would watch ice age. At number 211 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: eight was Men in Black Too, bringing in a hundred 212 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: and ninety million dollars. At number seven was Austin Powers 213 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: gold Member, making two hundred and twelve million dollars. At 214 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: number six was Lord of the Rings The Two Towers, 215 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: bringing in two hundred and eighteen million dollars, and then 216 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: we get to the top five. At number five was 217 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: My Big Fat Greek Wedding, bringing in two hundred and 218 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: twenty three million dollars. Again, another surprise here is a 219 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: rom com bringing in that amount of money. I feel 220 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: like the late nineties early in mid two thousand were 221 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: really like the prime spot for romantic comedies, the days 222 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: of Hugh Grant and Matthew McConaughey. I feel like we're 223 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: in full force in this time, neither of them or 224 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: in this movie, but just saying I feel like a 225 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: lot of people's favorite romantic comedies came out during this time, 226 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: and the box office reflects that at number four, bringing 227 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: in two d and twenty seven million dollars is signs 228 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: I felt like, more so than the movies that made 229 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: more than this on this list, this is the movie 230 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: that people talked about the most and I think it 231 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: was because m Night Shamalan, of course always has the 232 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: twist at the end, and there's just something about movies 233 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: like this that people just want to share an experience 234 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: together and then go on to talk about. And I 235 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: felt like because it was about aliens and crop circles, 236 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: and we're always curious about, oh, do you believe in 237 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: aliens and you think they're real? And this one really 238 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: kind of put that into perspective of what it would 239 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: look like if they did make contact with Earth. And 240 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: not only that, it had a scene that I think 241 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: collectively we all had that jump scare moment while watching 242 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: this movie and probably my favorite m Night Shamalan movie. 243 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: I was all saying earlier, don't really like mel Gibson 244 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: in his action roles, but when it comes to his 245 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: dramatic roles, I liked them. In Signs at number three, 246 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: bringing in two hundred and forty three million dollars this year. 247 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: In two thousand two was Harry Potter and the Chamber 248 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: of Secrets, a great sequel, a movie that was able 249 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: to capture the same feeling of the first one and 250 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: really set the tone for the rest of the franchise 251 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,119 Speaker 1: to the point at which each movie had its own identity. 252 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: In a movie that people camped out to buy tickets, 253 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: it was all over the news at the thing that 254 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: really doesn't happen anymore, because I know Friday is still 255 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: like the main release day for movies, but now you 256 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: can catch him mattee on the Thursday before they come out. 257 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: You don't have people waiting in line for tickets. But 258 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: back when Harry Potter movies were coming out, it was 259 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: an event to be had. The only thing we've seen 260 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: in recent history was the last Spider Man movie, but 261 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: even that isn't compared to what a midnight release was 262 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: for a movie like Harry Potter. At number two, bringing 263 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: in three hundred and two million dollars, was Star Wars 264 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: Episode two, Attack of the Clones. The Star Wars movies 265 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: that I just kind of forget about. I remember all 266 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: the promotion around them, but I feel like if you 267 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: took away episode one, two and three, it wouldn't really matter. 268 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: But at number one and number one with Ease bringing 269 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: in four hundred and three million dollars this year was 270 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: Spider Man. Do I need to go on why this 271 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: movie was great? And then taking home Best Picture in 272 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: two thousand two was a beautiful mind. Like I was 273 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: saying earlier, it's rare for a movie to bring in 274 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: that amount of money and also win an Oscar for 275 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: Best Picture. Worst movie was a movie called Swept Away, 276 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: which is a remake with Madonna that took home the 277 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: Razzie Award that year for Worst Movie. Other movies of 278 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: note that came out in two thousand to my personal 279 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: favorite Disney movie, Lee Low and Stitch, Catch Me If 280 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: you Can, The Born Identity, Sweet Home Alabama, Scooby Doo, Mr. 281 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: Deed's Eight Mile, The Rookie Jackass The Movie, and one 282 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: of my favorite low budget movies called Spun. It was 283 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: also a pretty big year for what I would describe 284 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: as college movies, with movies like Orange County, Van Wilder, 285 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: and Stealing Harvard come out, and I think that was 286 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: a lot due to the success of movies like American 287 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: Pie Road Trip. Everybody was looking for that next big 288 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: comedic hit, and everybody was focused on college kids trying 289 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: to hook up. Now, if I could only take one 290 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: movie from two thousand into this is a tough one 291 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: because with Spider Man being my favorite superhero and the 292 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: original being one of my favorite not just Spider Man movies, 293 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: but one of my favorite movies of all time. It's 294 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: also the year that one of my favorite Disney movies 295 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: came out of all time. And I think I would 296 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: have to take Lelo and Stitch from two thousand in 297 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: two because I would still have all the other Spider 298 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: Man movies. When I think about it, it doesn't take 299 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: away two or three, or The Amazing Spider Man or 300 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: another Tom Holland Spider Man, so I could get my 301 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: fix in other ways. Yes, I would lose out on 302 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: a very big instrumental piece of not being able to 303 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: watch that original Spider Man, but I think when it 304 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: holmes to a movie that I would sit down and 305 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: rewatch more and kind of get that same feeling as 306 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: I was when I watched it as a kid. I 307 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: think I would have to take Lelo and Stitch because 308 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: I just feel like no other Disney movie could replace 309 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: that for me, not The Lion King, not even a 310 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: Pixar movie like Toy Story. Like there's only a feeling 311 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: I get from Leelo and Stitch that nothing else can 312 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: recreate that. So I would take Lelo and Stitch with me. 313 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: So that is two thousand and two. Moving on now, 314 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: two movies turning ten years old this year, and these 315 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: are all movies that came out in I think this 316 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: is where it gets interesting because in my mind, I 317 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: don't imagine being ten years ago. I was twenty one 318 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: years old. I was still in college. I had started 319 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: working at the radio station in Austin. I had just 320 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: come off of being an intern for the Bobby Bones Show, 321 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: and Bobby helped me get a job. They're working as 322 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: a board operator. So I kind of shifted this year 323 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: from going for me intern doing that job. I would, 324 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: on occasion when their executive producer was out, go all 325 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: in for them. So that's kind of where I was 326 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: in my life. My movie obsession was full on by now. 327 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: I would go to the theater probably still once a week, 328 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: maybe once every two weeks. But I think where my 329 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: obsession was a little bit more was watching everything on Netflix, 330 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: but also going and renting things at the red box, 331 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: which was a lot more prevalent. Then. I could walk 332 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: to a seven eleven, go rent a movie for a dollar, 333 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: go home and watch it, and then go back and 334 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: get another movie for a dollar. And setting the stage 335 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: in two thousand two, outside of movies, if you were 336 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: to go and turn on the radio, you probably could 337 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: not escape this song by Godier. So looking at the 338 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: biggest movies to come out in at number ten was 339 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: Madagascar three bringing in two hundred and sixteen million dollars. 340 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: At number nine with one of my favorite comedies bringing 341 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: in two eighteen million dollars, It is Ted, starring Mark 342 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: Wahlberg and Seth McFarlane as the voice of Ted, which 343 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: is basically just a little bit skei version of Peter Griffin, 344 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: which he also does the voice of. Actually was watching 345 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: this movie the other day. Very ridiculous, very dumb, but 346 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: still very funny to me. At number eight was The Hobbit, 347 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: bringing in two hundred and twenty eight million dollars. At 348 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: number seven is a lot of people's favorite Disney movie 349 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: of the last ten years. It is Brave, which made 350 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty seven million dollars, and number six 351 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: is The Amazing Spider Man bringing in two hundred and 352 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: sixty two million dollars. Rounding out the top five, The 353 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part two comes in and number five, 354 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: making two hundred and eighty six million dollars. I only 355 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 1: watched the first one in theaters, and that was before 356 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: there was any hype really built around it. I remember 357 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: it was like maybe the second week it came out, 358 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: and my sister wanted to go watch it, so she, 359 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: my brother, and I all went to go watch Twilight. 360 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: I thought it was all right, and then just a 361 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: couple of weeks later it was full on Twilight fandom. 362 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: I myself never really got into the movies, never read 363 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: the books, but there's even now kind of a Twilight 364 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: resurgence with the movies being on net likes now. I 365 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: feel like we're maybe ten fifteen years away before those 366 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: movies get remade. Like if there's any book franchise that 367 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: starts to get its remake, whether it be like Hunger 368 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: Games Harry Potter, I think Twilight kind of is the 369 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: one would be the one to do it. At Number 370 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: four is Skyfall, which made two and ninety million dollars. 371 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: I feel like that James Bond movies are kind of 372 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: like the n C I s of movies, Like who 373 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 1: was watching these movies and loving them? I get it 374 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: if you're listening to this now, I thinking I'm completely 375 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: ridiculous by saying that. I have just never met anybody 376 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: who loves the James Bond movies, but every time they 377 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: come out, they make a lot of money. Who is 378 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: watching James Bond? Who loves James Bond. I feel like 379 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: it's kind of people who only come out once every 380 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 1: four years to watch a movie and it's James Bond. 381 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: More power to you if you love James Bond. I 382 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: just never really understood it. At number three in the 383 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: book series and movies I actually really got into bringing 384 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: in four hundred and eight million dollars was The Hunger Games. 385 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: And I felt like the Hunger Games hit me a 386 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: little bit different than Harry Potter. I was never fully 387 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: obsessed with the Harry Potter books. Maybe I'm weird and 388 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: saying that I actually loved the movies more than the books, 389 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: But when it came to Hunger Games, I really loved 390 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: the description in those books more than I did the movies. 391 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 1: I almost didn't really enjoy the first one so much 392 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: because I was such a big fan of the book. 393 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: I was kind of one of these people saying that 394 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: the book was better than the movie just because the 395 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: book was so much more descriptive on the actual hunger 396 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: in the Hunger Games, like that was completely taken out 397 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: of the movie, and the whole reason Catnets volunteering herself 398 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: so her sister didn't have to go be a part 399 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: of the Hunger Games was really because of how much 400 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 1: their families struggled just to eat, and how in the 401 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 1: book she's just described as being this frail but smart character. 402 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: A lot of that kind of doesn't even appear in 403 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 1: the movie. They just get into the actual Hunger Games. 404 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: I still enjoyed seeing it in theaters. I felt like 405 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: it was just very abrupt, a very abbreviated version of 406 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: the movie, but I would go on to probably like 407 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: Catching Fire more. And then at number two was The 408 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: Dark Knight Rises, bringing in four d and forty eight 409 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: million dollars in an underrated one. I feel in the 410 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: Dark Knight franchise. Actually watched this movie in Imax and 411 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: felt like Christopher Nolan really went in on exploring every 412 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: bit of the screen. I love the opening scene in 413 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: this movie, and I really loved Baine as a villain 414 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: in this and how I felt when I first watched 415 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: The Dark Knight Rises is I almost liked beIN more 416 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: as a just straight on villain that I did Joker. 417 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: Joker was a great character, but I felt like he 418 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: was almost bigger than Batman in that movie. I almost 419 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: didn't really see him as like a driving force, as 420 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: a real threat. Then I just liked him watching Greek Havoc. 421 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 1: But when it came to The Dark Knight Rises, I 422 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: love the battle between Bain and the feeling that Batman 423 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 1: could just not defeat him, Bain just pretty much taking 424 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: him to shreds, getting him at his very lowest. I 425 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: just thought that was very powerful. But I didn't love 426 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: the Indian and I feel like that's what's held a 427 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: lot against The Dark Knight Rises is the ending kind 428 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: of lends a little bit lackluster. And then at number one, 429 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: bringing in a whole lot more than number two at 430 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: six and twenty three million dollars? Was The Avengers crazy? 431 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: To think that The Avengers came out ten years ago 432 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: and all the marble madness we've had in between, The 433 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: Avengers just really changed the game on what a movie 434 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: could be. And I think so many kind of franchises 435 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: have tried to mimic that with the Just This League, 436 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: the Suicide Squad and have just not been able to 437 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: replicate it ever. Again, the other thing I kind of 438 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: find looking at these three years two thousand two and 439 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: at the number one spot on every single year is 440 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: a superhero comic book movie. And I know people, and 441 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: I know people tend to criticize that there are so 442 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: many superhero movies now. I know there are more of 443 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: them now, but it's not like it's a new con seven. 444 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,239 Speaker 1: I think there are movies that we've loved forever and 445 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: will continue to love forever, and just proved to be 446 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: movies that will actually get us to go to a 447 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: theater to watch. Looking at the Big Awards this year, 448 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: the movie that took home Best Picture at the Oscars 449 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: was The Artist. The movie that the Razzies voted as 450 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: the worst movie was The Twilight Saga Breaking Down Part two, 451 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: an easy movie to pick apart. Some other big movies 452 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: that came out in were Wreck at Ralph One, Jump Street, Argo, 453 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: which is one of my favorite dramas, The Perks of 454 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: Being a Wallflower, Men in Black three, which I think 455 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: was the worst movie of twelve of my least enjoyed 456 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: theater experience of that year. You also have a Jennifer 457 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: Lawrence Bradley Cuper classic with silver linings, Playbook, Looper, and 458 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: Chronicle If I could only take one movie from again, 459 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: it's hard not to take that number one. The number 460 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: one is always just the best, with the Avengers and 461 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: that being such an instrumental part of all the Marvel movies. 462 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: The Dark Knight Rises makes a pretty good case, but 463 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: The Hunger Games would be tough not to watch ever again. 464 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: But you really can't rule out a compilation of all 465 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: the best superheroes with one of the best villains. I 466 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: hate to sound basic, but I'm going with the number 467 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: one of the year at the Avengers. So that's it. 468 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: That's a look at two thousand two, and I hope 469 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: you enjoyed that look through history. Coming up, I'll get 470 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 1: into my spoiler free review of Encanto after this. I'm 471 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: gonna get into a spoiler free movie review now actually 472 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: coming to us by listener requests. This is from Kara 473 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: Kathleen on Instagram, who messaged me asking when I was 474 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: going to review this movie. I wanted to wait till 475 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: it came out on Disney Plus and more people had 476 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: the chance to watch it. And I also think with 477 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: the release of it on Disney Plus, the soundtrack has 478 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: had such great success in the last just week, breaking 479 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: in some crazy records that we'll get into. But before 480 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: we get into it, here's just a little bit of 481 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: the trailer of Incanto from Disney. I'm not supers like Louisa, 482 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: the dolt is drunk out or effortlessly perfect like But Mom, 483 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: why am I the only one that didn't get a gift? 484 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: You're just as special as anyone else in this family. 485 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: You just heeled my hand with an ata conquo. So 486 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: what this movie is about. It's a family with a 487 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: bunch of magical powers. They live in the mountains in 488 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: this town in Colombia, and they all live under one roof. 489 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: Not only do they all have magical powers, but the 490 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: house itself does, and it's kind of a character of 491 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: its own. The story follows the main character named Mirabel, 492 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: who is the only member of the family not to 493 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: have our own powers. So what happens is the family 494 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: always has this big celebration, this big reveal of one 495 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: of the kids discovering what their power is, what their 496 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: gift is, and why all her brothers and sisters have 497 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: these amazing things they can do, whether it be like 498 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: her sister Luisa, who is very strong and can move buildings, 499 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: one of her other sisters can control the weather, another 500 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: can make all these beautiful flowers grow, another one can 501 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: shape shift and become any other person, and one can 502 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: heal people through food. She is struggling because she never 503 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: had anything and doesn't feel as special. But where the 504 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: struggle comes in is now the house seems to be 505 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: in danger and the magic surrounding their home seems to 506 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 1: be fading away, and she has to find a way 507 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: to save it. Basically, what this movie is about, the 508 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: entire family kind of controls everything going on around the town. 509 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: But what I kind of took away from it is 510 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: all the members of the family kind of represents somebody 511 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: that maybe you know in your life, and their power 512 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: is greatly associated with that. Her sister who is strong, 513 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: it's kind of the one who carries the entire family, 514 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: and the entire weight of everybody's problems kind of literally 515 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: falls on her shoulders in this movie. The other sister 516 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: who can control the weather is maybe somebody in your 517 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: life who their moods can quickly change and you know it. 518 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: And then you have the grandmother in the movie, who 519 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: is the one kind of overbearing of everything and making 520 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: sure everything remains exactly how it is. So I liked 521 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: this movie, but I think there are a few things 522 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: that kept me from loving it. I thought the premise 523 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: was great, and like the first thirty minutes of this movie, 524 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: I was really into it. I love the idea of Metabel, 525 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: you know, struggling that she didn't have something that makes 526 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: her different from all her siblings. She didn't have that 527 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: one unique characteristic, and when it came to people kind 528 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: of inadvertently taking digs at her because she never found 529 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: her power, she you know, deal with that. I really 530 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: felt like it was gonna go on a little bit 531 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: more of an emotional journey for her that I just 532 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: never felt like it really quite got there. When it 533 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: came to the animation in this movie, I think it's 534 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: some of the best that Disney has ever done. There 535 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: were very small details when it came to these characters 536 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: from the hair, like you could literally, let's see like 537 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: the hair on their arms and different expressions really come 538 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: to life in this and I think that's where Disney 539 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: really kind of shined in this movie. But I felt 540 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: like while the premise was so strong in the beginning, 541 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: over the course of the entire movie, I felt like 542 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: the movie became a little bit average, and I think 543 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: that's greatly due to it being a musical and then 544 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: bursting into song. Again, I'm not the biggest hinto musicals, 545 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: and when it comes to having to tell the story 546 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: throughout song, I feel like it kind of loses that 547 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: emotional connection for me. Now some people, and why I 548 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: think a lot of people love this movie is because 549 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: of the songs. Is because of the music, because it 550 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: kind of brings it to life in a different way. 551 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: And you find people, now, you know, making this soundtrack 552 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: number one on Billboard, going back and listening to these songs. 553 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: But that's really not what I go into wanting out 554 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: of a Disney movie. But I kind of feel like 555 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm probably going to have the same kind of situation 556 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: I had when I first saw Mwana in theaters. I 557 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: didn't love Maiwana in theaters because of the same reason 558 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: that I felt like the songs took me out of 559 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: it a little bit. And maybe three or four years later, 560 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: when I really watched it and understood the story a 561 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: little bit more, I then found those songs resonating a 562 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: lot more, and now that is one of my favorite 563 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: Disney movies. But I also think I'm having a little 564 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: bit of Lynn Manuel Miranda fatigue kind of the same 565 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: way I'm having Ryan Reynolds fatigue. Is they are just 566 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: in everything right now. And I get it. He is 567 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: the best, probably and the first choice when it comes 568 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: to wanting a musical. But after seeing In the Heights, 569 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: after seeing Tick Tick Boom, and seeing how much of 570 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: an influence he had on this music, even though he 571 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: does it really well, I was kind of wanting Disney 572 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: to do with something a little bit different. And it's 573 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: something about Disney movies now getting away from not having 574 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: a villain and instead just focusing on the struggles like 575 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: within a family. I think it's kind of a different 576 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: take for me that I don't know if it's working 577 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: quite as well. I mean, if I had to assign 578 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: someone a villain of maybe personifying them of somebody I 579 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: would know in my life, I would say that Grandma 580 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: is the kind of the villain in this of not 581 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: listening to me and I Belle and making it seem 582 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: like everything is fine at the very start of the movie, 583 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: even though things are not fine. But what I did 584 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: at the end of the movie really enjoy about this 585 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: is the representation that this movie brings into Latin culture 586 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: and seeing things that resemble things that I would be 587 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: more familiar with from you know, growing up in a 588 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: a Mexican household. Also seeing how some of those same traits, 589 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: same foods translate to a family like this from Columbia. 590 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: So above me not fully enjoying the movies I thought 591 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: I was going to. I really have to commend Disney 592 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: for portraying these characters and even making a movie like this. 593 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: But the thing that's really just the most surprising to 594 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: me is how successful this soundtrack has been, with the 595 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: soundtrack being at number one right now at the time 596 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: I'm recording this on the Billboard chart and for one 597 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,479 Speaker 1: of the songs being the biggest Disney hit from an 598 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: animated movie since nineteen and that means it's now surpassed 599 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: Let It Go, which came from Frozen. So I do 600 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: have the top five most successful songs from Disney movies, 601 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: and this is based on commercial sales Billboard charts. At 602 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: number five is now let It Go, which was able 603 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: to reach number five back and it's beaten out now 604 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: by We don't talk about Bruno from Incanto, which no role, 605 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: And I think why that is surprising to me is 606 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: I just remember when Let It Go came out from Frozen, 607 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: you couldn't go anywhere without hearing that song or seeing 608 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: somebody singing along to it on YouTube. I just felt 609 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: like let It Go had much more of a cultural 610 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: impact to where everybody in America probably knew that song, 611 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: people had it as their ring tone. And it's just 612 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: surprising how fast we don't talk about Bruno has made 613 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: it to number four on the charts. It also kind 614 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: of just shows how much of an impact it has 615 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: when a movie goes onto streaming and for all these 616 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: records to be coming out now, but at number three. 617 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: Another movie that peaked at number four was Colors of 618 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: the Wind from Pocahonas by Vanessa Williams. Can You Paint? 619 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: At number two was another song that peaked at number 620 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: four back in it is Elton John's can You Feel 621 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: the Love Tonight from The Lion King. I mean, I 622 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: think that's the song I think about when I think 623 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: about songs from Disney movies. But at number one is 624 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: a song that went number one in nineteen ninety three 625 00:31:50,000 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: from Aladdin. A Whole New World, a dazzling place. So 626 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,719 Speaker 1: that's just a look at some other big Disney songs. 627 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: So I'm just surprised to see this soundtrack being as 628 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: big as it is and people loving it as much 629 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: as they did, because I mean, when it comes to 630 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: what I thought the best songs were from Incanto, for me, 631 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have picked we don't talk about Bruno. I 632 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: think I probably would have picked surface Pressure. But that's 633 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: also probably because Luisa was the character I identified with 634 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: the most and the really for me, I thought the 635 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: most memorable character of the entire movie. You just don't. Oh. 636 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: But if I had to rate in Canto, I would 637 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: give it three point five out a five. Donkeys a 638 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: good Disney movie that I think could have been great 639 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: if it would have had a stronger act three. It 640 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: was close to being before honestly, but the thing I 641 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: said out loud when the movie finished and the last 642 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: scene hit, I was like, Oh, that's it. That's how 643 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: they're ending it. So that's why I give it a 644 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: three point five for in Canto. Time now for the 645 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: part of the podcast where I break down a movie 646 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: trailer of a movie coming to you very soon in 647 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: theaters or on streaming. It's time to head down to 648 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: movie Mike try Laura Paul Today. It is a streaming 649 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: movie called The Sky Is Everywhere. It's from and it's 650 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: coming out on Apple TV Plus on February eleven, right 651 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: in time for Valentine's Day. Here's just a little bit 652 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: of the trailer for The Sky Is Everywhere. How are 653 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: you doing? Because your Grandma and I have been a 654 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: little worried about you. My sister is dead. There's no 655 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: more music in me, no more dreams in me. I've 656 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: lost the one person on earth who understood me. How 657 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: was school? Bad? Is expected? It's a new boy in 658 00:33:48,600 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: our band? Okay, you must be Lennon Walker. So what 659 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: this movie is about. It's actually based on a book 660 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: by the same name, also called The Sky Is Everywhere. 661 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: And the book is about this high school girl who 662 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: loses her older sister and then it's kind of struggling 663 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: with her death being so sudden, and then she becomes, 664 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: at least in the book, romantically involved with the sister's 665 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: boyfriend who passed away, because they're able to bond over 666 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 1: having the same feelings of grief and loss and kind 667 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 1: of dealing with that together. But then there's also a 668 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: new kid in town that they both have the same 669 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: love of music where you kind of here at the 670 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: end of that trailer, So it's the main character dealing 671 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: with these two close relationships. I had actually just never 672 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: heard of this book. I told my wife about it. 673 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: She has now added it to her reading list, so 674 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: hopefully when the movie comes out, we'll watch it and 675 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: she can give that review of how the book is 676 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: different from the movie, something I'm always kind of curious 677 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: to see how they adapt. The movie does star Jason Siegel, 678 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: but also just a lot of newcomers in this movie. 679 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: Why I'm interested of this movie where the plot doesn't 680 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: sound like something I would be fully into. I do 681 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: like book two movie adaptations. It's also coming from which 682 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 1: is a studio that I always just give the benefit 683 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: of a doubt, and they have very unique romantic movies, 684 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: so I don't feel like this is going to be 685 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: a very straight on kind of romance or even a 686 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: little bit of romantic comedy. There's always just kind of 687 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: edge to them with movies they have done like The 688 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: Spectacular Now or even like Ladybird. I think it's gonna 689 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: have a little bit of an edge to it. But 690 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 1: visually I really love how this movie looks. I love 691 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: a movie with a good color palette, and while watching 692 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 1: this trailer seeing the burst of color and it having 693 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: a unique, almost warm feel to it. I'm just a 694 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: fan of if a movie is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, 695 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: it just keeps me more focused into it, and it 696 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: just feels like, even though maybe it's a romantic story 697 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: that's been kind of touched on before, having this whole 698 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 1: fresh look on it makes me more inclined to watch it. 699 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: I like this should effects they have eded in there 700 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,959 Speaker 1: from like the music notes exploding on the one scene 701 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 1: where she sees the other guy. And it also helps 702 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: that it's coming out right around Valentine's Day. We're all 703 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: watching movies that make us feel romantic or that loving 704 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: feeling and always like watching something new, And on top 705 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: of the fact that it's coming out on Apple tv Plus, 706 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: I feel like they're really going to get more into 707 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: the movie game this year. They're very kind of slow 708 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: with the content they're coming out with over there, whether 709 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: it be a series here, a series there. They really 710 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: haven't had that one big Apple TV Plus movie hit 711 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 1: yet that's made people go over there just for that. 712 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: I don't think this one will be it for him. 713 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: But if they can keep putting out movies that I'm 714 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: interested in and also landing movies with well known actors, 715 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: I think it will justify the subscription rate, which is 716 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: actually probably the cheapest one I have right now. Again, 717 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 1: that movie is called The Sky Is Everywhere, comes out 718 00:36:55,360 --> 00:37:00,080 Speaker 1: on February eleventh on Apple TV plus this like a 719 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 1: Dish movie, I do have a little bit of movie 720 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: news here I want to touch on. First up is 721 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: The Batman has officially released its runtime at two hours 722 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: and fifty five minutes, and that's not even including the credits. 723 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: And when you look at all the other Batman movies, 724 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 1: the Dark Knight was two hours and forty five minutes, 725 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: so it is beating that out like ten minutes, making 726 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: it the longest Batman movie ever released in theaters, and I, 727 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: for one, am excited about that. I tweeted that I 728 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 1: probably would have watched this movie even if it was 729 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: four hours long, and just the vibes I've been getting 730 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: from the trailers and seeing the stories come out about 731 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: this movie, it seems like it's going to need all 732 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,720 Speaker 1: two hours in fifty five minutes to get this story across. 733 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: Because what they are doing here is reintroducing Batman in 734 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: a whole new world, in a whole new story. I 735 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: feel like the first hour is going to have to 736 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: set that stage and then developing all the other characters 737 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: with the Riddler and the Penguin and Catwoman. I'm just 738 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 1: hoping the long run time really opens itself up for 739 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: a lot of action, which they've been sewing in the trailers, 740 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: a lot of explosions, a lot of fighting. I hope 741 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: it's a movie I end up watching and never even 742 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,279 Speaker 1: question how long it is. I see some people a 743 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 1: little bit skeptical about that of three hours being a 744 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: pretty long time to spend in the movie theater having 745 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 1: to go pee, and some people saying they're opting out 746 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: for waiting until it comes out on HBO Max, which 747 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: if you want that option, that's there for you too, 748 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: but you're gonna have to wait forty five days and 749 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that. And the longest movie 750 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: that I've ever seen in theaters was in Game at 751 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: three hours and two minutes, and that was a movie 752 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: that just warrants being that long. But also coming off 753 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: of just watching Zack Snyder's Justice League, which clocks in 754 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 1: over four hours, I'm just a little bit more into 755 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: watching long content right now and not being afraid of 756 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: a long movie if it's really good done the right way. 757 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: You know, if someone sits down to watch three or 758 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: four episodes of an hour long TV show, nobody panics 759 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: because it's all part of the plan. But when somebody 760 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: puts out a three hour long movie, well then everybody 761 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: loses their minds. And if you didn't catch that, that 762 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: is an adaptation of a quote from The Dark Knight. 763 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: All right, So that's all I wanted to talk about 764 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 1: in movie news. There there was one other news story 765 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 1: I had here pulled up, but I kind of realized 766 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: that there's a spoiler in that, so I'll save that 767 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: for another episode. And before I hop out of here, 768 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,959 Speaker 1: what I do every single week is give a shout 769 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: out to one of you who listens and post about 770 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: the podcast, whether it be you tagging me in your 771 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: Instagram story, sending me a tweet at Mike Destro, or 772 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: emailing in at movie Mike d at gmail dot com. 773 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: And this week the shout out goes to Kegan O'Donnell. 774 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: Thanks for tagging me in your Instagram story listening to 775 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 1: last week's episode of the best movies that are ninety 776 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: minutes or less.
