1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie podcast. I

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. Today I want to share

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: with you my top five movies I want to be

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: alive to see. I know what's kind of a morbid topic.

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: It is Halloween week. I'm not doing a horror theme

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: or scary movie episode, but to some that topic might

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: be a little bit morbid. In the movie review, we'll

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: be talking about the conclusion to the Venom franchise, Venom

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: the Last Dance. Did it live up to the expectations

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: of closing out well? I don't know if anybody has

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: real expectations about Venom. The movies have been fun. Where

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: does this one lie compared to the other two? And

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: in the trailer park, we'll take a look at the

14
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: john Wick spinoff starring Ana the Ottamas Ballerina. Thank you

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: for being here, Thank you for being subscribed. Shout out

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: to the Monday Morning movie crew. I love you guys.

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: And now let's talk movies.

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 2: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast,

19
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like

20
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: never before in a movie podcast.

21
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: A man with so much movie nalla.

22
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: He's basically like a walking ONMTB with glasses from the

23
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: Nashville Podcast Network.

24
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: This is movie Mike, some movie podcast. Some major movie

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: news dropped last week and it got me thinking, I

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: want to be alive to see this movie. So I

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: decided to put together a list of my top five

28
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: movies I want to be alive to see. I'm not

29
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: sick or anything, but anytime a movie gets announced, just announce,

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: not even that they're working on it or there's a

31
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: script or a director attached, just when it gets announced,

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: just the hype on that. I get excited. But I

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: also think, man, am I gonna be alive to see

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: this movie? That is always how I feel, especially with

35
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: all of the MCU movies where they announce their slate

36
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: and they're like, boy, do we have a movie coming

37
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: for you in twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven.

38
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, I need this now. And it's not that

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm sick or have any reason to believe I'm gonna

40
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: drop dead in my thirties, but I think I have

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: this anxiety of something bad is always going to happen.

42
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: If you want to take a look inside my brain,

43
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: I always feel like there is something looming happening. I

44
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 1: almost feel like when I go to sleep at night,

45
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 1: there is a sword dangling ride above me that could

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: come down at any time. Welcome to the podcast. My

47
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: name is Mike, and I suffer from anxiety. That is

48
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: just how I feel. And one of my biggest things

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: about living to see the next day is I really

50
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: do it. Not only to enjoy my wife, my family,

51
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: and friends, but I want to see all these movies

52
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: that are getting announced because my biggest fear in life

53
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: is not dying, but it is dying and not knowing

54
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: how they're going to do some of these movies, especially

55
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: ones that have been rumored for so long. If I

56
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: went away and I got to Heaven or maybe Hell,

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: I hope I don't get to Hell. But if I

58
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: die and they don't have a movie theater wherever I go,

59
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: no way of me seeing any of these movies. I

60
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: am coming back as a ghost and I will be

61
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: in the rear you go in Nashville, sitting there to

62
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: watch these movies. That is gonna be my unfinished business.

63
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: And that is what keeps me up at night. And

64
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: I get so excited when they announce these movies. But

65
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: when it's three four or five years away. I'm like,

66
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: why does it have to be so long? Can't you

67
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: go film it now so I can watch it tomorrow,

68
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: maybe by Friday. But that's not the way the world works.

69
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: I also think we live in a world now where

70
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: we get so much information all the time about everything.

71
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: Back in the nineties, we did not look I sound

72
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: like a freakin' boomer right now. Back in my day,

73
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: Back when I was a kid in the nineties, or

74
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: even the two thousands, maybe later in like the twenty tens,

75
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: we didn't know about every phase of every movie at

76
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: every single time. And that is why it feels like now,

77
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: whenever a movie finally comes out in theaters, we've known

78
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: about it forever because we hear the moment it gets announced.

79
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: We hear the moment a director gets attached to it.

80
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: We hear the moment a script is done, and we

81
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: hear another moment when that director drops out and they recast.

82
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: We get reported on every aspect of the process to

83
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: by the time the movie actually comes out in theaters,

84
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: we are exhausted. We feel like we've known everything about

85
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: this movie. We've seen trailer after trailer after trailer. Sometimes

86
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: I wish we could just go back to that time

87
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: where we see a trailer and be like, Oh, I

88
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: want to go see that, and then it comes down

89
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: in theaters. We're not sitting here looking at pictures on

90
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: threads trying to decide if that really is the look

91
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: of Superman? Is this gonna be in this movie? Are

92
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: they going to tease this character? And a lot of

93
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: how I feel and in describing here is frustrations with

94
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: superhero comic book culture. That is kind of the nature

95
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: of this relationship we have Harvard. We want to know

96
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: all the things, we want to know the things being teased,

97
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: So a bit of it it is a product of

98
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: how we treat these movies. But there are cases with

99
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: other types of movies too, so you're even going to

100
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: see that reflected in this list. So what I did

101
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: is I put together my top five of movies I

102
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: want to be alive to see that are already announced.

103
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: They are either already have their own release date or

104
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: the idea of these movies are actually out and they

105
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: are going to happen at some point. And then I

106
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: also did my top five movies that have no indication

107
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: that they are actually happening, but they are movies that

108
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: in my lifetime I want to see come to fruition.

109
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: So let's get the list started. Now. At number five

110
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: is Christopher Nolan's untitled project, The news of This really

111
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: just broke last week. It is supposed to come out

112
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: in theaters July seventeenth, twenty twenty six. It is being

113
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: written and directed by Christopher Nolan, and as of now,

114
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: it stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, and Florence Pugh. So

115
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan now kind of creating his own new cast

116
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: of characters, like a new pool, because Christopher Nolan since

117
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: his first early films, has always gone to the same

118
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: cast of actors, which I love because I that gives

119
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: a director their identity, their brand of who they like

120
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: to work with. If I'm going to watch a Christopher

121
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: Nolan movie, I'm probably gonna get Killian Murphy. I'm probably

122
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: gonna get Christian Bale in some capacity. Matt Damon was

123
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: in Oppenheimer, so maybe that's now them forming a relationship.

124
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: Florence Pugh was also in Oppenheimer. Tom Holland was probably

125
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: the only actor in Hollywood that was not in Oppenheimer.

126
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: There were so many people in that massive, massive cast

127
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: and whenever that movie got announced, I was thinking, Christopher

128
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: Nolan doing a bio pick of somebody I really have

129
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: no idea about their life what that movie is going

130
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: to entail. And I went to go see that and

131
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: was completely blown away by it. I still stand by

132
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: my five out of five rating with that. The only

133
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: movie of Christopher Nolan's in recent history that I was

134
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: a little bit confused by the premise when it was

135
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: first announced, And that's normally what happens with Christopher Nolan.

136
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: He is so ahead of his time and forward thinking

137
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: when it comes to film that a lot of his movies,

138
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: like Interstellar Inception are movies that you might not get

139
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: the first time you go see it in theaters or

140
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: sit down to watch it at home. They often take

141
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: a good two sometimes three times to rewatch to fully

142
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: understand them. But for me, the movie that I was

143
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: confused by when it was first announced and was still

144
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: confused by when I saw it for the first time

145
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: was Tenant. But with this new film, I kind of

146
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: feel the same way I felt about Tenant is I

147
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: don't know how he is going to make this premise good,

148
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: but I have faith in him because the movie is

149
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: allegedly going to be a nineteen twenties period horror movie

150
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: about vampires with Tom Holland and Matt Damon and Florence

151
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: Pugh thrown in there somewhere, and for me, I really

152
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: don't love period pieces, especially going back to the twenties,

153
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: where I can't even associate what twenties culture is, aside

154
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: from people like mah, she she you haven't met my

155
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: Tommy gunh that is kind of what I associate the

156
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: twenties with. And to put a horror movie where Christopher

157
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: Nolan hasn't done a horror movie. The closest I feel

158
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: he has really gotten to the horror genre was probably

159
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: Insomnia with Robin Williams and Al Pacino, but it was

160
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: really more of a thriller. But based on the performances

161
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: in that movie, you could paint that movie out to

162
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: be a horror movie. It had some of those elements,

163
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: but a straight on horror film he has not done.

164
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: So maybe he wants to dip into that genre because

165
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: I feel like every great director has dipped their toes

166
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: in horror and that is exciting to me. It was

167
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: also cool seeing how Tom Holland reacted to getting cast

168
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: in this movie, which is a huge deal. Tom Holland

169
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: has been so in demand in the last I would say,

170
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: even just four years altogether, and for him to get

171
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: a call and say that it was very reminiscent of

172
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: the time that he got the phone call that he

173
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: was going to be Spider Man. To think to work

174
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: with that caliber of director, which I really believe now

175
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: that you can't really put all your money and investment

176
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: and time into just a list actors. I think when

177
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: you really look at the greatest movies in history, they

178
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: have to have a great director. I think an a

179
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: list director has much more longevity and impact in film

180
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: than an A list actor because without these people creating

181
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: these unforgettable experiences and having these amazing visions, I feel

182
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: like that is a foundation of filmmaking and the foundation

183
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: of movies that have really affected and stayed inside of

184
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: our lives, in movies that we rewatch time and time again.

185
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: And sometimes you don't always feel that. I feel generally

186
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: probably if you're walking down the street and talk to

187
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: people about their favorite movies, sometimes they have no idea

188
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: who directed them. But if you broke it down and

189
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: looked at the movies that have had the most impact

190
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: in America that people would say are their most favorite

191
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: films of all time. What you would see is a

192
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: great director behind all of those movies who have done

193
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: multiple really great movies. And I feel, especially with Christopher Nolan,

194
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: he is responsible for keeping some actors careers alive who

195
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: otherwise maybe wouldn't have had the longevity that they had.

196
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: That is exactly what Anne Hathaway said that Christopher Nolan

197
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: did for her career, that without him casting her in

198
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: his movies, her career maybe would have died out. So

199
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what this movie is about.

200
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: I just have to stay alive until twenty twenty six.

201
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: At number two, I have The Batman, which is supposed

202
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: to come out O this one hurts October second, twenty

203
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: twenty six. And I guess the crazy part of this

204
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: is that we're almost all the way through twenty twenty four,

205
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: so twenty twenty five isn't that far away at this

206
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: point in time. But October second, twenty twenty six, I mean,

207
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: it's still October now. To have to wait another two

208
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: years for this movie that has been delayed so much

209
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: becase because of the strike, because of the pandemic, It's

210
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: also a really big and expensive movie to make, and

211
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: I have really high expectations on the Batman two for

212
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. One is because Part one really

213
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: changed the way I felt about Batman's portrayal in movies,

214
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: really seeing him for the first time being the great

215
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: detective that he is like he has described in the

216
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: comic books. And I think the big criticism that all

217
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: the Batman movies and even the Joker movies have now

218
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: is why are we making them so dark? Why does

219
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: Batman need to be so dark? He is based on

220
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: a comic book. If you look back on the early

221
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: iterations of Batman, like Adam West or even some of

222
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: the movies of the nineties where he got a little

223
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: bit more campy and cartoon like, a lot of people

224
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: are demanding that we get away from the dark stuff

225
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: and make Batman movies fun again and colorful. But if

226
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: you look at the comic books like The Long Halloween,

227
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: The Court of Vowels, a lot of the stuff back

228
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties, Batman has always been a

229
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: dark comic. And yes there is the version that is

230
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: more kid friendly. I think a lot of people are

231
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: looking back on the first iterations of Batman back when

232
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: it was first introduced. But if you look at a

233
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: lot of the defining Batman stories and graphic novels and comics,

234
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: it is the really dark stuff that cuts through that

235
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: makes Gotham out to be this crazy city and really

236
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: defines the character of Bruce Wayne and Batman. So if

237
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: you think that just because it's based on a comic

238
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: book that Batman was created for kids, that the movie

239
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: shouldn't be as dark as they are, that you should

240
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: feel shame in watching these movies because they are so dark.

241
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: I think the source material is there and that is

242
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: where I feel the action, the characters, the villains really shine.

243
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: I also think there's a lot of anticipation going into

244
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: this movie for me, and a lot of hype being

245
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: built because of The Penguin right now on HBO, which

246
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: is my favorite show to watch right now, easily going

247
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: to be in my top three favorite shows of the year,

248
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: right up there next to X Men ninety seven, which

249
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: is fantastic in a much different way. But this show

250
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: has a grip on me like any other show, and

251
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: I think it's because I love the movie so much

252
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: and there's such fantastic performances in this show, and it

253
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: is really opening up the world of Gotham that I

254
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: hope leads back into The Batman two. And it does

255
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: give me an appreciation for TV shows based on comic books,

256
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: because you are able to flesh out characters so much

257
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: in multiple episode series that you can't really do in

258
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: a movie you have limited time, and I think that

259
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: is the big reason why some movies are getting longer,

260
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: because there's so much story to tell. You want to

261
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: flesh out these characters, you want to give them backstory,

262
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: and you can really only cram so much of that

263
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: in a two two and a half hour movie, So

264
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: that is why these movies are swelling to three hours.

265
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: And sometimes even I get a little bit annoyed when

266
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: movies are that long. But if a movie can keep

267
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: your attention for that long, I am a okay with it.

268
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: And by watching The Penguin, I realize the power in

269
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: television to be able to dedicate an entire hour episode

270
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: to giving a character all of this amazing backstory that

271
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: you really couldn't do in a movie, because an hour

272
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: long episode showing why someone is the way they are,

273
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: why someone is a villain, would have to be like

274
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: a five to seven minute sequence in a movie, because

275
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: there's so much more to get to. So I really

276
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: like what Max is doing by creating the spinoff, building

277
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: this entire world of Gotham for anybody who wants to

278
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: know more about it, who wants to invest more into

279
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: these characters, and then have them brought back into the movie,

280
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: Because when you start seeing characters from The Penguin Show

281
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: up and The Batman, all the fans of that show

282
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: are gonna say, oh, we know all about them, We

283
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: know all about them because we watched the show. And

284
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: maybe to the people who only watch The Batman and

285
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: then watch The Batman too, they don't really lose on

286
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: an any of the meaning of it, but it really

287
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: shows an appreciation to the fans of the show. So

288
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: I hope that DC handles it a little bit different

289
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: to where you don't necessarily have to watch the show

290
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: to get the next movie, which is what Marvel does.

291
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: You gotta watch this show because it's gonna be referenced here. Instead,

292
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: it can be an extension of but not required watching,

293
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: which I think is going to be the key difference

294
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: in the next phase of DC. So that is why

295
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited at number four. The Batman too. At number three.

296
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm lumping in both of the Avengers movies, Avengers Doomsday,

297
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: which is coming out on May first, twenty twenty six,

298
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: and Avenger Secret Wars coming out on May seventh, twenty

299
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven, three years away. That is wild to me.

300
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: That is a really long time. By the time this

301
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: movie comes out. I'm gonna be thirty six years old.

302
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes I forget how old I am. Somebody mentioned someone

303
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: being thirty one and I was like, oh, I'm thirty one.

304
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I was thirty one two years ago.

305
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna be thirty six still going to the

306
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: theater and watching superhero movies, which is another thing that

307
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: people say is that the genre is going to die out.

308
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna die out. But what I'm

309
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: looking forward to the most about Doom's Day, of course,

310
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: to see how they bring Robert Downey Junior into the picture.

311
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: The more and more I see and read about it,

312
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: and the more and more I get invested into the

313
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: character of doctor Doom, I get more excited and I

314
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: really feel like something is brewing and I just want

315
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: to be in that theater to experience that moment, the

316
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: first time you see the person that we know as

317
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: Tony Stark now as a villain. I have to know

318
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: how that happens. I cannot leave this world until I

319
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: know how that happens. I'm just gonna say that that

320
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: is already gonna be a core movie memory for me,

321
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: like a lot of Marvel movies have contained. And on

322
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: top of that, the next year we get Secret Wars,

323
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: which is my favorite story out of anything in ma

324
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: Marvel Comics. It is on my wall in this studio,

325
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: I have the issue number eight with the first appearance

326
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: of the Black Suit Spider Man. I feel it is

327
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: the best story because it takes all the superheroes, puts

328
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: them on a planet and pits them against each other,

329
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: the X Men, Fantastic Four, the Avengers. That is going

330
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: to be such a big feat for the Russo Brothers

331
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: to get right. But if I had to invest in

332
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: somebody to do it, it would be with the people

333
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: who brought us Infinity War and who brought us Endgame.

334
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: Everything now, of course, is a rumor of how they

335
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: are going to do it. I cannot wait to see

336
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: those stories come to fruition. I just got to make

337
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: it to twenty twenty seven at number two. I have

338
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: TMNT the last ronin. When this got announced earlier this year,

339
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: I thought I was dreaming this is one of those movies.

340
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: I never thought what happened, because I have been a

341
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: lifelong teenage mutant Ninja Turtles fan since the first one

342
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety. Growing up, my favorite was probably, well,

343
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: at least the one I watch the most was Secret

344
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: of the Us because that one was a lot more

345
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: appealing to me as a kid, because they knew that okay.

346
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: The first one was a little bit more serious, the

347
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: violence was a little bit more intense because the demo

348
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: was the kids who grew up with the cartoon in

349
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: the eighties and now wanted to see that cartoon come

350
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: to life. And for me as a kid, seeing Secret

351
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: of the Ewes was exactly what I wanted. It was

352
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: fun quick lines, It was fun battles where they weren't

353
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: necessarily hurting each other with weapons, they were using other

354
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: things to fight off the villains, and at the core

355
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: of it, it was just a lot of fun. You

356
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: have Vanilla Ice dancing. I still see it going on

357
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: tour with Ninja Turtles because of how big This song

358
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: was in that movie. But now The Last Ronin is

359
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: going to take everything we know about the Teenage Mutant

360
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles and totally flip it on its side, because

361
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: it's now going to be an R rated version based

362
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 1: upon the graphic novel, which is the graphic novel that

363
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: has really gotten me into rehic novels. It entirely changed

364
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: my perspective on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lore. And if

365
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: you're not familiar with what happens in The Last Rownin,

366
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: there is only one remaining Ninja Turtle who was out

367
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: to avenge the deaths of his brothers and the death

368
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: of Splinter, And it's a very raw and emotional story.

369
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: And I know we've been talking about things that have

370
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: a darker, sinister feel to it, anything, why do the

371
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles that need to be dark and sinister? They

372
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: say calabunga and they eat pizza. But if you think

373
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: back to that first movie, the root of the anger

374
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: of the Ninja Turtles of being a now cast, of

375
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: wanting to be heroes to these humans, but they also

376
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: see you as a monster. There is a lot of

377
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: pent up anger in there. And I think why this

378
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: movie is going to be successful. It's obviously because it's

379
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: in the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, and you're gonna

380
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: have the people like me who grew up with them.

381
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they were even a little bit ahead of

382
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: my time. I feel like you had to be an

383
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: eighties kid to really fully appreciate the Turtles. But they've

384
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: had so many iterations throughout the years that you've no

385
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: matter when you grew up, you were introduced to them

386
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: in some capacity. But I think now at this point

387
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: in time which the movie is supposed to there's no

388
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: official release date on it now they're working on it.

389
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: It was just now earlier this year, so it's probably

390
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: going to be twenty twenty six, twenty twenty seven, and

391
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: by that time, I'm going to be in thirty six,

392
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: thirty seven years old. I'll probably be thirty five thirty

393
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: six years old, and I'm going to be at that

394
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: age where they're going to be making it for the

395
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: people like me who grew up with them and who

396
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: are now adults and probably feeling like these type of

397
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: ways that these characters are and what you would do

398
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: to avenge the death of your brothers, which is something

399
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: you really couldn't explore back when they were teenagers. And

400
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: I think the big success of this movie is going

401
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: to come down to the look of the teenage mutant

402
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles, because back when they did it with Michael Bay,

403
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: the look just wasn't right. That I never felt any

404
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: connection to those characters because they were entirely CGI, which

405
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: I feel now they're gonna probably lean towards CGI, and

406
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: I'm not opposed to that, but they look so freakish

407
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: like and so oversized and had no real warmth to

408
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: them that I never really found myself grasping to those

409
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: characters like I did to the rubber suits back in

410
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: the nineties. And it's not just because I had the

411
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: nostalgia for those suits. It's just because it felt a

412
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: little bit cold and a little bit faceless, that this

413
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: really isn't how these characters should be represented. So I'm

414
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: okay if they use some CGI, which has greatly improved.

415
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: If you look at the last Guardians of the Galaxy movie,

416
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: they do a fantastic job with CGI, especially with the

417
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: character like Rocket Raccoon, where it looks like on the

418
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: screen that you could actually go in there and touch them.

419
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: Even though he is a CGI character. That movie also

420
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: had a fantastic wardrobe and makeup and hair department. They

421
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: use over twenty thousand prosthetics, five hundred wigs, and one

422
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty facial hair pieces to create the characters

423
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three. That movie actually

424
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: broke the record for the most prosthetics ever used in

425
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: a film. So to make this teenage mutant Ninja Turtles

426
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: movie look great, you're gonna have to spend some money,

427
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: which I hope they actually invest the money in this movie,

428
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: because that is gonna make or break it. You can't

429
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: rely on the power of the name and the nostalgia

430
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: bate and it doesn't just take a great story like

431
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: basing it on the Great graphic novel. You have to

432
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: spend the money to make the movie look good, which

433
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: I feel gets overlooked so much in reboots and sequels

434
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: that you think, which sounds so elementary. Oh, to get

435
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: a movie that people are gonna be excited about, it

436
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: has to look good. Yes, it has to represent what

437
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: the characters embody, and that's gonna cost money, and studios

438
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: cannot cut corners in that department. So I'm fine with

439
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: the CGI, use your animation, use your special effects, make

440
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: it to where the CGI is not distracting. If you

441
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: go on YouTube and look up some tmn T test

442
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 1: footage that somebody did of these fights between Leonardo and

443
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: Donna Tello with some foot clan, it looks fantastic. The

444
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: skin actually looks like skin, you could touch it very much.

445
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: Looks like those nineties rubber suits, but it has this

446
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: texture to it that I think wild look fantastic. Also

447
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: looks pretty expensive. So to the creators of this movie,

448
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: go to YouTube and find the people who made that

449
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: and put it in this movie and it will work.

450
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: So no official release date. I'm hoping twenty twenty six,

451
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: but probably looking more at twenty twenty seven. I have

452
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: to be alive to see the last ronin But now

453
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: at number one. The movie that inspired this entire list

454
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: because Tom Holland went on Good Morning America last week

455
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: and said, Spider Man is happening, and I quote he said,

456
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: all I can tell you is that it's happening. The

457
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: idea is crazy. It's a little different to anything we've

458
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: done before, but I think the fans are really gonna

459
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: respond to it. I feel like Tom Holland had to

460
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: be very careful to not give any spoilers. You know,

461
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: he knows more than that he has famously spoiled some movies.

462
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: But I also think Marvel probably lets him actually do that, Like, hey,

463
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: be kind of a funny bit to have Tom Holland

464
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: go on different things and spoil movies, but that's really

465
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: just the way to create time. I would do the

466
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: same thing. But Spider Man for is set to start

467
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: filming next summer. He's going to be back, Zandaa's going

468
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: to be back. I don't want to say too much

469
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: about how that movie ended if you haven't seen it yet.

470
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: Although I feel weird about spoilers to superhero movies because

471
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: to me, they're kind of like live events. Marvel gives

472
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: everybody like that first weekend really to not post spoilers,

473
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: but I almost feel like that goes out the window

474
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: whenever the next Marvel project is announced, because they always

475
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: tease that by talking about what happened in the last one.

476
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: So I almost feel like you have to be a

477
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: part of those movies as they happen, and the same

478
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: rules don't apply, especially when one Avengers movie goes right

479
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: into the next one. So if you're talking about the

480
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: next one, you're referencing what happened in the other one.

481
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: So it's hard to keep all those same spoiler rules

482
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: on Marvel projects. But for the sake of this podcast,

483
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: I won't say what happened at the end of that one,

484
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: but I have to assume what he is saying there

485
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: that is different, and what fans are going to respond

486
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: to has to be how they ended that one and

487
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: how they're going to carry on Spider Man's story into

488
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: this one. If I had to rank all of the

489
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: Tom Holland Spider Man movies as of now, I rewatch

490
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 1: Homecoming a couple weeks ago, I would say every single year,

491
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: I rewatch every Spider Man movie. Right now, it is

492
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: all the Tom Holland Spider Man movies. Homecoming. Ough, I

493
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: have to put that one at number one because I

494
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: had to put myself back to win that movie first

495
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: came out, and how refreshing it was, and how I

496
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: felt that they finally got the Peter Parker character down

497
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: by making them younger, by making them more in love

498
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: with the world, bright eyed and bushy tailed, and really

499
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: playing into making Peter Parker feel like a high schooler

500
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: very inexperienced, and that was the Peter Parker that we needed,

501
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: especially to be so different than Andrew Garfield and Toby Maguire,

502
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: who looked like, you know, thirty five year old Spider

503
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: Man out there playing teenagers. So I felt like they

504
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: got the character himself of Peter Parker at least really

505
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: down in that movie. And number two I would put

506
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: No Way Home because you saw the evolution from Peter

507
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: Parker into what embodies all the things that I would

508
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: classify it as what makes a great Spider Man, so

509
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: not only having that childlike sense of humor, that weediness,

510
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: but also going through some real chemical changes that turn

511
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: Peter Parker into really being Spider Man. We felt that

512
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: in No Way Home. And then at the bottom a

513
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: number three I would put Far from Home. Even though

514
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: I had a great theater experience when I saw that

515
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: back when it first came out, every time I watch

516
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: it again and again, I find myself liking that one

517
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: a little bit less. Even though I love Mysterio, I

518
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: love Jake Jillenhall in that movie, it's just when I

519
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: compare them to not only the other two Spider Man

520
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: movies and then all the other Spider Man movies with

521
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: maguire and Andrew Garfield. I think that one just ends

522
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: up getting lower and lower on the list, so I

523
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: would put that in the bottom three here, but probably

524
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: in the bottom three overall. It is interesting to me

525
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: that they call this movie Spider Man for even though

526
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: none of these movies had numbers, and it's like, man,

527
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: if we could have ever got the Amazing Spider Man

528
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: three and four or Sam Raimi Spider Man four, I'm

529
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: still kind of holding onto home if they do those

530
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: at some point, especially after what happened in No Way Home.

531
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: But for some reason, to me, this doesn't feel like

532
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: a true Spider Man for. But it is a movie

533
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: I need to see before I die again. I'm doing

534
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: okay right now, but that is the of the top

535
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: five movies that have actually been announced that I want

536
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: to be alive to see. I'll go through quickly five

537
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: other movies I hope to see in my lifetime before

538
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: I die, and these are movies that haven't even been announced.

539
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: There is no indication that any of these are happening.

540
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: So don't take what I'm saying about these movies. And hey,

541
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: Mike was talking about this movie actually happening. These are

542
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: not happening. This is all just from my desires of

543
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: movies that I hope they finally do because they are

544
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: stories and characters I hope have justice in the film world.

545
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: At number five is Gambit, and that is largely due

546
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: to the success of Wolverine and Deadpool, and there's been

547
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: kind of rumors that this was going to happen. I've

548
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: seen fake posters, but I really feel like Gambit has

549
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: had a great year, especially with X Men ninety seven,

550
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: and he's been exposed to a lot of people who

551
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,239
Speaker 1: didn't really know him from the animated series or the

552
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: comic books, had no idea he had an accent, so

553
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: are maybe confused by the way he was depicted in

554
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: Will and Deadpool. I'm not sure if they're gonna work

555
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: Gambit into the next two Avengers movies, but I hope

556
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: at some point he gets his own solo movie. Maybe

557
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: after they announced that they pulled Blade from their upcoming

558
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: list of movies, maybe they're working in a Gambit movie.

559
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: So at number five, I have Gambit, and number two

560
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,239
Speaker 1: I have a proper dragon Ball movie. I don't care

561
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: if it's Dragonball Z dragon Ball Super because in the

562
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: world of dragon Ball. They are fantastic animated movies that

563
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: I would take any day of the week. But the

564
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: only live action American version we have is Dragonball Evolution

565
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: from two thousand and nine, which is horrendous. The character

566
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: design in that movie is awful. You can't even tell

567
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: some of the characters are supposed to be certain characters

568
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: because they look so bad. The action is bad, everything

569
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: about Dragonball was wasted in that film. It looked like

570
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: a parody movie. And I was so excited for that

571
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: movie back in two thous thousand and nine because I've

572
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: been a Dragonball Z fan since I was a kid,

573
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: going to Mexico and watching it in Spanish with my cousins.

574
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: Dragon Ball was huge in Mexico all over the world

575
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: that I watched it more with Spanish dubs than I

576
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: ever did with English dubs. And the world of dragon

577
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: Ball is so immersive, which is why I have to

578
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: believe it is such a daunting task to take on

579
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: and make a two hour movie too, because there is

580
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: so much of a world to explore. But I think

581
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: if you really focused on the action instead of trying

582
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: to build all those characters and do everything all at once,

583
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: in one movie and just made a really good action

584
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: movie and the story of Goku. I think that would

585
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: be fantastic, and I hope I live to see that.

586
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: At number three, I have the Simpsons Movie Tube, primarily

587
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: because every time I get on Facebook, somebody is posting

588
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: a fake movie poster, which I think. I want to

589
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: do an episode where I just take all the fake

590
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: posters I've seen on Facebook that people believe are actually happening,

591
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: even though they are such bad photoshop. You have Graham

592
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: Wichita still believing that Forrest Gump two is happening, and

593
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: it's a Christmas movie. It's not happening, so don't get

594
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: all up in rage in the comments. Those are fake posters.

595
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: But I always see somebody saying the Simpsons to a

596
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: movie has been announced and it's confirmed that there's no word

597
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: that it's actually happening. I feel they just put this

598
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: story out to enraged nerds like me who love the

599
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven movie and want to see another

600
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: movie happen, especially with knowing that The Simpsons aren't going

601
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: to go on forever. They did that episode earlier this year,

602
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: but they tease their serious finale, and that was just

603
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: like Oh man, I kind of want to see it

604
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: come to an end in my lifetime, just because I

605
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: want to experience it. And I think we're at that

606
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: point to where really the only thing that would cause

607
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: the Simpsons to end would be one of the legacy

608
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: voice actors passing away, which would be really sad, and

609
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that they would go on and replace

610
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: somebody like a Dan Castanletta who does the voice of

611
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: Homer Simpson. I think that would cause a real big

612
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: decision to make of do we continue this or do

613
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: we decide just to end this. So I hope before

614
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: anything tragic like that happens again it's a very odd,

615
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: more fidly themed episode. Before anything like that happens, I

616
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: hope they make another Simpsons movie. At number two, I

617
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: have a live action Miles Morales movie, which has kind

618
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: of been teased with all of the success of the

619
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: indto the Spider Verse movies, So I think, out of

620
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: anything on this list, that is probably the easiest. Oh yeah,

621
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna make that movie eventually. That has to be

622
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: a timing issue because they have to get all the

623
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: animated movies out there. They also have to find the

624
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: right Miles morales for that project. So out of everything

625
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: I've been talking about, that one probably has the longest

626
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: date to ever happen. I'm gonna put that one if

627
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: I had to, at twenty thirty four at the earliest,

628
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: but at number one movies I hope to see before

629
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: I die, even though there's no indication of me dying

630
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: or anybody making This movie is a proper live action

631
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: Pokemon movie, not Detective Pikachu. We don't want that anymore.

632
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: I want a full on Pokemon movie, and they should

633
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: call it Pokemon Indigo, which would be based on the

634
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: original anime series that we all grew up with and

635
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: were introduced back in the nineties, heavily based on that

636
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: TV show and also the first Game Boy video game,

637
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: red version, blue version, even the yellow version. I think

638
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: that would be an instant cash cow. All these thirty

639
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: plus year olds who grew up with that video game

640
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: and just have been wanting to see that for our

641
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: entire lives. Just take this idea that we grew up with,

642
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: the simple concept and bring it to the big screen,

643
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: which is all we've ever wanted. We had the animated movies,

644
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: which are fantastic, which have a fantastic little cubby hole

645
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: in my heart. Those are great, but I just want

646
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: to see it live action, and I did enjoy it

647
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: To take a Pikachu. I rewatched that movie from time

648
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: to time, especially when it's on a flight. It's to

649
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: the point that I'll start it on the plane and

650
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: then be like, oh, I didn't get to finish it

651
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: on the plane. I have to watch it at home.

652
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: And what I loved about that movie is it did

653
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: show the creatures in the wild and how humans interact

654
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: with them. But I want to see that traditional story.

655
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: I want to see ash Ketchum going on his journey

656
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: from Palettetown, battling Pokemon, getting his first Pokemon, the relationship

657
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: with Pikachu being afraid and him not responding to him

658
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: not wanting to go in his poke baal, and then

659
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: having that first bonding experience. If you broke down those

660
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 1: first initial episodes of Pokemon and turned them into one

661
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: concise story, that would be fantastic. And I don't know

662
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: why they don't do it. Pokemon is like the biggest

663
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: franchise in the world. Please make it happen for all

664
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: the aging millennials out there. So that is my list.

665
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: I'll come back. I'll give my spoiler free review on

666
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: Venom The Last Dance. I don't know what I was expecting. Guys,

667
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to a spoiler free movie review of Venom The

668
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: Last Dance. It is Tom Hardy saying goodbye to the

669
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: Venom character the lovable symbiote, which, if you can tell

670
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: by watching on YouTube. I'm a huge Venom fan, obviously,

671
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: Spider Man being my favorite superhero of all time, Venom

672
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: has been for a large majority of my life, my

673
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: favorite villain, dating back to the animated series, dating back

674
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: to the video game. He has always just looked really

675
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: cool to me. Black is my favorite color, and you

676
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,919
Speaker 1: take all the qualities of Spider Man but rot them up,

677
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: give him a lot of crazy teeth. Have a pretty

678
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: great backstory with Eddie Barrock in the comics which I

679
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: have actually a copy of, well not the actual copy,

680
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: but a reprint of Spider Man three hundred, which is

681
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: the first full appearance of Venom. The character was co

682
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: created by Todd McFarlane, who is my favorite comic book artist.

683
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: Has done some amazing covers, and even in that first iteration,

684
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: Venom was a much more grittier character and My overall

685
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: complaint with Venom being my favorite character is I don't

686
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: feel he's been represented well in these movies. The first

687
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: one came out in twenty eighteen, and I thought it

688
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: was pretty okay, pretty average, some pretty good action, but overall,

689
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: what I realized is they were going for more fun

690
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: movies and not really making any great movies. And we're

691
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: dealing with the Sody Spider verse here, which has been

692
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: historically bad, and Venom has actually been their best franchise

693
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: so far in a world of Madam Web. This is

694
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: kind of like their goal and child because it's really

695
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: the only thing that has generated fan interest, and going

696
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: into this one coming off of Venom two, which they

697
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: didn't really do the character of Carnage justice in that

698
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: one either, But overall Part one and Part two have

699
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: been pretty enjoyable. They've just kind of been declining in

700
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: overall value as they've gone along. So first, I'd put

701
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: it up there as being the best. Second, I think critically,

702
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: if you look at it and break down all the

703
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: things that happened in that movie, it's pretty dumb. But

704
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: for me, going into a movie just wanting to have

705
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: fun for the sake of having fun, which is sadly

706
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: how you have to approach these movies. I wish that

707
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 1: wasn't the case, because Venom is such a great character.

708
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, just look at the design of Venom. These

709
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: should be amazingly awesome movies even without having Spider Man

710
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: in there. That one took a bit of a decline,

711
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: but that one actually had some story, It had some

712
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: substance in there. Venom three was so underwhelming and so uninteresting.

713
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: The only real reason I had my expectations even a

714
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 1: little bit higher than two is because anytime you close

715
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: out a chapter to a character, I'm just expecting some

716
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: kind of big, epic finish, at least some kind of

717
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: just great bookend that even if you didn't watch part

718
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: one or two, that you could watch this movie and think, oh,

719
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: I actually felt something emotional there. That is not the

720
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: case with this movie. So even if you're thinking, should

721
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: I check this movie out? Do I need to watch one?

722
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: Do I need to watch two? If you didn't watch

723
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: one or two, this one, by no means would win

724
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: you over. You would go into this movie and think,

725
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: what exactly is going on? Why does Venom talk like that?

726
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: Which is another thing that it can't get over heard

727
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: of them. That sounds so cartoony and off putting to me.

728
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: I feel like Venom should be a little bit more fierce,

729
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: and their entire relationship has been more of a buddy

730
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: cop than it is, like a symbiot host, like a

731
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: symbiote taking over your body, it should be putting you

732
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: through some real mental struggle and anguish, much like we

733
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: saw with Toef for Grace and Spider Man three and

734
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: Toby Maguire. Not the case in this one. They're just

735
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: best friends hanging out doing best friend things. And it

736
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: was from the very opening scene of this movie, in

737
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: the first fight between Venom and the Mexican dudes, that

738
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 1: I was like, this is not gonna be a fun

739
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: time for me. And what this movie is about. Eddie

740
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 1: Brock and Venom are still hanging out, hiding out in Mexico.

741
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: They happen to watch a just perfectly timed newscast that

742
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 1: Eddie Brock is wanted in connection of a murder from

743
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: a character from Part two. I won't spoil it for

744
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: you if you haven't seen that one, although after watching three,

745
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: I don't really encourage you to go back and watch

746
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: one or two. I don't really even encourage just to

747
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: take this one on to see how bad it is,

748
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: because I do think there is a different level of

749
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: bad movies, and I'm gonna start comparing this movie to

750
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: Joker two, which was the last bad movie I saw

751
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: in theaters. Two entirely different types of bad movies. Joker

752
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: two is bad in the sense that it was such

753
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: a creative departure from the first one, and it was

754
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: so different that it alienated the fan base that it

755
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: created with that first one and was kind of a

756
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: middle finger to you, and it just kind of gave

757
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: you this heap of just I don't even know what

758
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: this is. Is it a musical, was it a courtroom drama?

759
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: It just felt like a mess. But I still believe

760
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 1: that Joker two set out to do what it wanted

761
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: to do, like that was the big creative swing it took.

762
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: It did it. It just didn't land with audiences. So

763
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: that is bad because you just don't like the results

764
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: of the movie. There's another type of bad that all

765
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: of the acting, all of the cgi, the entire story

766
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: is just bad and awful, and on paper, it's not

767
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: even a good movie. So it's not even that it

768
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: does things right. That you just don't enjoy. It just

769
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything right. And I was so surprised of

770
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: just how uninteresting this story was. It never at any

771
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: point felt like a movie to me. It just kind

772
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: of felt like when you're starting up your car and

773
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: it just won't turn on for some reason, maybe the

774
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: batteries like half dead, and you're like, I can almost

775
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: get it on there, but it just never turns on.

776
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: That is exactly how I felt by watching this movie

777
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: from that first scene where it's just so comical in

778
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: a really weird way. And I think that's what they

779
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: are going for with Venom, of trying to be almost

780
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: like a meta Deadpool movie, because they do make some

781
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: references to the MCU and the multiverse. They talk about

782
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: thanos and talk about like, oh, an alien wouldn't be

783
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: into rings, he would be into eating people. And it

784
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: just felt like it wasn't really that funny. It's almost

785
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: like that kid in class who was known as the

786
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: funny kid, even though he never really said anything funny.

787
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: In no way at all did he have any comedic ability.

788
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: He would just say things loud and declares that he

789
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: was the funny kid in class, even though there was

790
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: no credit to his name, Like, dude, you've never done

791
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: a funny thing in your life. We've never really fully

792
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 1: laughed at you. You're just the one laughing in the corner.

793
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: You can't declare yourself the funny kid. That is kind

794
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: of how I feel about Venom. That they wanted that

795
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: dead Pool relationship, that going back and forth, that commentary

796
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: on comic book movies, and it never got there whatsoever.

797
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: And it committed to that. It tried to be funny

798
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: time and time again, even more so than part one,

799
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: even more so than Part two. It was really leaning

800
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: into that and even got away from the action that

801
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: at least the first and the second part had going

802
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: for it, So it ended up becoming a big mess

803
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: of nothing. So they are on the run because Eddie

804
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: Brock sees that he's wanted in Mexico, and if they're

805
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: seeing this news report here, they're probably seeing it all

806
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: over the world, and for some reason they decided to

807
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: go to New York City. They take off and then

808
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: chew atail. Edgy Afour's character is like this, I don't

809
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: take any crap military guy and swoops in trying to

810
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: find them. He is on their trail. The entire time.

811
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: You have this other plot line with Juno Temple's character

812
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,959
Speaker 1: from ted Lasso. Her brother died and she is living

813
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: out his dream of being this scientist. So there are

814
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: a lot of things going on at once, all these

815
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: little plot lines that are supposed to all meet up,

816
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: and it just felt like a big, heaping mess. And

817
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: then you have the symbiolt Killers who were trying to

818
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: find Venom and Eddie Brock because they need something from

819
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: him in order to take it back to their big

820
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: bad And never, at any point did I have any

821
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: interest in all of these plot lines that were happening.

822
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: It just felt like they were trying to crow bart

823
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: in a lot of different characters and comic book references

824
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: and Easter eggs and try to set up some villains

825
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 1: to gain some people's interests that they could take from

826
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: this movie and create another movie for even though this

827
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: is supposed to be the last Venom movie, although I

828
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: feel like would have easily made another one if this

829
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: one would have performed well in the box office or had.

830
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: They weren't gonna get the critical acclaim. They know that,

831
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 1: but even the audience reaction of enjoying this one, maybe

832
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: they could crank out another one and be like, Oh,

833
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: we're not done yet. So it was almost like they

834
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: were going into this movie without fully committing to that goodbye,

835
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: and it really showed there was just no real turmoil

836
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: in this movie. There was no real defining moment of

837
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,959
Speaker 1: Eddie Brock or Venom. The CGI was very mediocre, felt

838
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: like nothing was on the line, and Tom Hardy just

839
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: didn't really sell this movie. He is a great actor,

840
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: and I don't really know why he is so attached

841
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: to making Venom movies. I almost feel like the character

842
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: is a little bit beneath them. But it makes me

843
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: like a more that he is such a fan of

844
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: the comic book character that he has done three of

845
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: these movies. I have to imagine he's made some pretty

846
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: good money from doing these movies, so maybe that's a

847
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: little bit of an influence too. But it just felt

848
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 1: like he was never really there. The die felt very canned,

849
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: and I was just overall bored for a majority of

850
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: the film, and it had one of the most cringe

851
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: worthy scenes out of any superhero movie of all time,

852
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: and I saw it in the trailer. There was a

853
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: glimpse of it of Venom dancing on this staircase, and

854
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: I just knew that was a bad indication of what

855
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: was to come. And it's not that I don't like comedy.

856
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: I would love to laugh. I love laughing. Look at me,

857
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: I'm laughing now, ma. It's not that I don't like

858
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: to laugh or want to hate something for the fact

859
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: that it's. Ah, it's just supposed to be fun. You're

860
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: not supposed to think too much about it. Movies can

861
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: be fun, but they also have to be good. There

862
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: is a very fine line to walk where you're making

863
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: something with the intention of just making people smile, disconnect

864
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: from reality, be a form of escapism. But if you're

865
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: giving somebody something that doesn't even feel like a finished product,

866
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 1: it can't really be that fun. And overall just really

867
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: cringey at times. And the other moment in the trailer

868
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 1: that didn't really hit in the movie either was whenever

869
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 1: they take over the horse and they're running. It's supposed

870
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: to be like a callback to the first one when

871
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: he's on the motorcycle. The movie just overall felt a

872
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: little bit embarrassing to me. Going in my Venom shirt.

873
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: It really makes me feel more hesitation going into Craven

874
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: the Hunter, which was the preview right before Venom, because

875
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: on paper that looks kind of good too. It's rated R,

876
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: looks a little bit more hardcore. Aaron Taylor Johnson looks

877
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: great as Craven the Hunter. But if you look at

878
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: the Sony Spider Verse movies as a whole, Morbius now

879
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: Venom three, Madam Webb, they just don't have a great

880
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: track history. And I was rooting for it. I wanted

881
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: to enjoy it, but it just couldn't get behind Venom

882
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: the last dance. I give it one point five out

883
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: of five symbiotes and say goodbye, see you later. Why

884
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: on earth did you make Venom do a dance number?

885
00:45:58,160 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: It's time to head down to.

886
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 2: Paul.

887
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: Spinoffs over prequels all day. Every day. I'll take a

888
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: spin off. Think about prequels. It's not all about a

889
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: story you don't really care about. Do you really want

890
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: to know the way that I got this glass eye?

891
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: A character who's had a glass eye of the entire time,

892
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: and then they do a whole movie explaining why that

893
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: character has a glass eye, and by the end of

894
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: that movie, you're like, Oh, this is why he has

895
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: a glass eye? All right? That doesn't really add anything

896
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: to Part one, two, or three, but now I know

897
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: how he has a glass eye. I just feel every

898
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 1: time they make a prequel it is a cash grab

899
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: and they are just kind of out of the story.

900
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: Want to still live in that world. So let's do

901
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: the fans some little justice and say, oh, we're feeding

902
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: the fans here, but really we're just scraping the barrel

903
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: for a story here. That is why I would take

904
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 1: a spin off over a prequel all day or day,

905
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: except for the fact that this is kind of a

906
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: spinoff and a prequel in one, so I have a

907
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,760
Speaker 1: little bit of hesitation going into it. But the movie

908
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: we are talking about is Ballerina, which is a John

909
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: Wick spinoff. It takes place between part three and Part

910
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: four of John Wick, so the chapter in between that

911
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: is where this story takes place. So the reason I

912
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: feel it's a little bit different is because it's not

913
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: a full on John Wick prequel. Because in john Wick one,

914
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: he is already an assassin. You biting to the fact that, Okay,

915
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: he's an assassin. I get it, he's mad because they

916
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: killed his dog. You go on this journey with him.

917
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: That movie works because starts at the action, and it's

918
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: all a direct result of that first moment in that scene.

919
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: It's not him going to assassin school rising up the ranks.

920
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: You just exist in that world. You go on that

921
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,240
Speaker 1: journey one, two, and three and four Bam, Bam bam.

922
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: A fantastic action franchise. We don't need to know his story,

923
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 1: but here in Ballerina, we're kind of getting what would

924
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: be the making of his story because this movie is

925
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: about another Attemasi's character who trained to be an assassin

926
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: to avenge the death of her father. So much like

927
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: John Wick was avenging the death of his dog, went

928
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: on an entire killing spree just to do that. She

929
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: is doing that because somebody killed her father. So you

930
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: will see a little bit of how she becomes an assassin.

931
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: So we will see that with her character. And John

932
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 1: Wick does make an appearance, not only in the movie,

933
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: but you actually see him in the trailer. It's not

934
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: like we're getting his full backstory. It's kind of a

935
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: side quest for him. I feel like they kind of

936
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,720
Speaker 1: included him in the trailer to get people more interested

937
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 1: in it, to show, hey, here's Keanu Reeves in this movie,

938
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: much like they did Iron Man. With some of the

939
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: Spider Man movies. So before I get into more of

940
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: my thoughts of Ballerina, here's just a little bit of

941
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: the trailer. To stop the assassin, you must become the assassin.

942
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: You will always be weaker, you will always be smaller.

943
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 3: They killed my father. This isn't done until they're dead.

944
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 3: Are That's the one they called a how do I

945
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 3: start doing what you do?

946
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: Looks like you already have Keanu Reeves with this classic

947
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: line delivery there. I think just in this trailer alone,

948
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: he probably said at least half the words that he

949
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: did in the entire john Wick Chapter four. I just

950
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: love the character of John Wick of being so loof,

951
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: very calm and jill and saying things like this but

952
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 1: on screen just being a total ba the entire time.

953
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: I really love that the identity of the john Wick

954
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: films is in this trailer for Ballerina. You had the

955
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: fantastic action. I think the john Wick trademarks are the gunfire,

956
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: which is just NonStop crazy weapons. I would also put

957
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: in there people getting thrown through glass, which was one

958
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: of my favorite parts of the last chapter four. Like

959
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, I just want to be thrown through

960
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: a fake wall of glass. They make it look so cool,

961
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: and they also, I guess, don't properly show what it

962
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: would be like to get thrown through a wall of glass,

963
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: just like a big glass panel that would get stuck

964
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: into every piece of your body. You would not be

965
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: able to walk away from that. But in the movies

966
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: the entire thing shatters and you don't even get a

967
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: scratch on you. That would out of everything. I mean,

968
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,399
Speaker 1: that could probably be worse than getting shot in the leg,

969
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: Like going through your entire body through all that glass

970
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: and walking out of it. In Hollywood, it's all just

971
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: like salt water and jelly and all these things they

972
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: make look like glass. But in real life that would

973
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: be such a pain, such a terror, probably the worst experience.

974
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: But you have the gunfire, the glass, and the really

975
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: fast paced action, and also some really brutal headshot, which

976
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 1: I think is something that John Wick really owned. It

977
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 1: really desensitized me to violence on an entirely different level.

978
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: Now I see somebody get shot in the head, I'm

979
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: just like, oh cool, that was a cool shot. I

980
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: wonder how they got it, not like, oh man, I

981
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: hope that he's not okay, he is lying on the

982
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 1: floor and in a world where we have very short

983
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: attention spans and where sometimes in action movies now the

984
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: actual action sequences just kind of feel like a waste.

985
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: It's people going through the motions, really slow action and gunfire.

986
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 1: You will go down, You'll go down. John Wick movies

987
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: take it all up to a ten and just like

988
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: boom boom boom right after another, to where your eye

989
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: is just looking on the screen the entire time and

990
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: has stimulated in some way. So I'm glad to see

991
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: that they took that fiber of the john Wick movies

992
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: and are incorporating it into this Ballerina story, even just

993
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: from the scenes of her training up until the point

994
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: to where she becomes more on the level of a

995
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: John Wick. I think that transformation is actually going to

996
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: be interesting to watch and learning about her wanting to

997
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: avenge the death of her father. This movie was actually

998
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: supposed to come out on June seventh of this year,

999
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: but it's been delayed and coming out on June sixth,

1000
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Ana the Otomas is a fantastic actor

1001
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 1: and it's really cool to see her in an action role.

1002
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 1: There are some fantastics shots in here, where it doesn't

1003
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: look at all weird to see her performing some of

1004
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: this stunts. It makes sense because I believe her to

1005
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: be this hardcore. There's a scene that I loved in

1006
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: this trailer where she's fighting this dude takes the grenade,

1007
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: throws it, pins them behind the door, and you just

1008
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: see the grenade explode. That is fantastic. And then at

1009
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: the end of the trailer you have a dude with

1010
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: a flamethrower. Oh that is my dream to be like

1011
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: in an open concrete lot with a flamethrower and just

1012
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: allowed to unleash all this anger I have pent up,

1013
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: just like that is what I want to do. Like

1014
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: I was talking about earlier movies, I want to be

1015
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: alive to see. On my bucket list is of things

1016
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: I want to do before I die is to be

1017
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,959
Speaker 1: able just to shoot a flamethrower, not with anybody around.

1018
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to burn down Bill, I don't want

1019
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 1: to burn people. I'm not that demented. I just want

1020
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: to feel the fire. I guess I'm revealing here that

1021
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 1: I was a bit of a pyro as a kid.

1022
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: I love going to Mexico because, as like a ten

1023
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: year old, you could go to the store and buy matches,

1024
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: and I would spend a lot of my money that

1025
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: my parents gave me four snacks to go buy matches,

1026
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: and I would just light the entire box of matches

1027
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: on fire because I just found it enjoyable. I would

1028
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,479
Speaker 1: get Mexican fireworks, and I had a great old time

1029
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: lighting things on fire in Mexico. So I would just

1030
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: want to have a flamethrower, even though those are probably

1031
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: really dangerous because in movies you always see people with

1032
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: the flamethrower and they had the tank on their back,

1033
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: and then someone shoots the tank on their back and

1034
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: they all go up and flame. So it's a very

1035
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:46,720
Speaker 1: dangerous tool. But just in like a concrete area with nothing,

1036
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: just to be able to feel the flame in my

1037
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: hand burning the whiskers of my face. That is something

1038
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: I want to do and something that is on my

1039
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: bucket list, and that is what this movie provided for me.

1040
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: Of like, ah, I want to be able to do that.

1041
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: The other part of this trailer that kind of got

1042
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: me that I wasn't expecting to was seeing Lance Reddick's

1043
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: character who passed away last year. He plays the concierge

1044
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 1: down at the Continental, which is the Hotel in john Wick,

1045
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: And I remember it was really sad when that movie

1046
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 1: came out and then he passed away. And a lot

1047
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: of times, like actor deaths don't really affect me because

1048
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: to me, a famous person will continue to exist in

1049
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: my mind if I go and watch their work, because

1050
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: I don't know Lance Reddick as a person. I've never

1051
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 1: met him, probably would have never met him even if

1052
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: he was still alive. To me, their work continues to

1053
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: carry on their legacy. But it's just kind of sad

1054
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: seeing them in this trailer and knowing that he's not

1055
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: actually alive anymore and this will be the last time

1056
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,840
Speaker 1: we ever see him in a new movie, and that

1057
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: just made me sad. But then I went back to

1058
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: thinking about the flamethrower, thinking having a dreamed for that flamethrower.

1059
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: So again, this movie is coming out next summer on

1060
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: June sixth, twenty twenty five. I will be there with

1061
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 1: flame thro in my eyes.

1062
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 2: And that was this week's edition of Movie Li Tramer Bar.

1063
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 1: And that is going to do it for another episode

1064
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 1: here of the podcast. But before I go, I gotta

00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 1: my YouTube channel and the shout out of the week

1075
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: goes to green robot five on YouTube, who wrote, I

00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: have my entire Nightmare on ELM Street interview up there,

1077

Speaker 1: so if you miss that, you can go watch it

1078
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 1: in its entirety. But green robot five wrote how does

1079
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: this video have only seventy nine likes? The questions were

1080
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: smart and not the same ones we hear over and over.

1081
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: I really appreciate that, Green robot. I have been seeing

1082
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 1: the support of this interview trickle out more and more

1083
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: as some of the clips have blown up on TikTok.

1084
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: Some people have discovered the podcast from that, some people

1085
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: have discovered and subscribed to the YouTube channel. And I

1086
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: don't really have the most subscribers on YouTube right now.

1087
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: That is something I kind of just built alongside of

1088
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: this podcast because I wanted to have a place that

1089
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: people could go and find individual reviews without having to

1090
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: go through all the old backlog of podcasts. Sometimes you

1091
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,720
Speaker 1: just want to hear my thoughts on one particular movie,

1092
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 1: so that is why I created that channel. I also

1093
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 1: decided to put all my interviews there, so if you

1094
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: want to see me talking to other people I've had

1095
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,760
Speaker 1: on the podcast, they all exist there. So it's something

1096
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: that really this year I started to become more conscious

1097
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: of of building and putting new things on there, trying

1098
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: to create content that doesn't even exist on this podcast

1099
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: and put it there. So I'll admit I'm not exactly

1100
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 1: where I want to be on YouTube yet, but thank

1101
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:57,240
Speaker 1: you Greeting Robot for giving me that encouragement to continue

1102
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: to post videos there and build that channel because I'm

1103
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: just trying to be everything everywhere all at once. So

1104
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Thank you for being subscribed over on YouTube

1105
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: wherever you're listening to this podcast now, really appreciate it.

1106
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,720
Speaker 1: And until next time, go out and watch good movies

1107
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: and I will talk to you later.
