I'm ready 10 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: to get into this episode.

I'll 13 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: let you know whether or not it's worth the twenty 14 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: bucks it is to rent at home right now. And 15 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: then after that, I do want to pay tribute to 16 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: Chadwick Boseman, who died over the weekend. I was on 17 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: Twitter on Friday night when I saw the news and 18 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: I didn't really believe it, and I just kind of 19 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,959 Speaker 1: want to pay tribute to him a little bit, talk 20 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: about his life and kind of celebrate really the important 21 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: iconic figure that he was and a great actor that 22 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: he was, and just a really sad story and I 23 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: want to just have a moment to kind of remember 24 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: him and talk about him and how lucky we were 25 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: to have him. So I'll talk about that. You got 26 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: a lot to get to you this week, So let's 27 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: just get right into this episode. Let's get started. In 28 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 29 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 30 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so 31 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: much movie knowledge. He's basically like a walking on mt 32 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: with classes from the Nashville Podcast Network Movie Movie Podcast. 33 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: All right, let's get right into it, trying to find 34 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: the most famous movie from every single state. This week, 35 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: we're doing the South, which I'm excited for because it's 36 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: where I'm from, it's where I live, and there are 37 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: a lot of states in the South, so we're gonna 38 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: have to get right into this and move through them 39 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: a little bit quicker, and also kind of break this 40 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: up into two little segments, so let's waste no time. 41 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: We're starting off with Delaware. So there were that many 42 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: famous movies from Delaware, and the two biggest ones I 43 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: found were fight Club and Empire Records. Now, fight Club 44 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: is the more famous movie, but there's not a whole 45 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: lot of elements of it even being set in Delaware 46 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: when you watch that movie and even the book that 47 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: it's based on. So I felt like I had to 48 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: go with Empire Records, being the most famous movie from 49 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: Delaware based out of an independent record store there. That's 50 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: what the movie is about. There, you go with Delaware. 51 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: I just think Fight Club has very little references to 52 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: the state it's from. You have like license plate, it's 53 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: a few of like geographical locations. But I just felt 54 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: like Empire Records, All right, let's move on now to Maryland, 55 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: which I was going through my list and a bunch 56 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: of your tweets. I didn't realize this movie was actually 57 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: so big to come out of there, but hair Spray 58 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: was a big one. And then also the goose Bumps movie, 59 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: which I thought was a little bit underwhelming. I was 60 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: a big fan of the TV show as a kid, 61 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, they're finally giving it justice 62 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: and making it into a really good movie, and I 63 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: just felt like that movie kind of lacked imagination of 64 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: and creativity that the TV show did. So I was 65 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: a little let down by that one. But it does 66 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: take place in Maryland, I think the movie that really 67 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: kind of encompasses all things Maryland, which about two lawyers 68 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: who are primarily in Washington, d C. That's where they're 69 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: based out of, but the entire movie is set in 70 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: a town in Maryland. And I'm talking about Wedding Crashers. 71 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: And I saw a lot of your tweets too about 72 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: this about you know, the scenery, the crab cakes, all 73 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: of that is kind of in this movie as well. 74 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: So I think Wedding Crasher is a pretty good depiction 75 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: of Maryland. And it's also a funny movie. And whether 76 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: you didn't realize it at the time, think about it now. 77 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: That's a lot of Maryland in that movie. So with Maryland, 78 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: we're going with Wedding Crashers. Moving on to Virginia, which 79 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: I think has a pretty clear cut winner. But I'm 80 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: gonna give some honorable mentions of one maybe you didn't 81 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: think about, but Pocahonas back in the day was based 82 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: on Pocahonas and where she lived, which was now Richmond, Virginia. 83 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: You also have Hidden Figures and Donnie Darko, which I 84 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: feel aren't as big as the main one to come 85 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,119 Speaker 1: out of Virginia, and I think without a doubt. It's 86 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: Remember the Titans, which is based on a real story 87 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: at the TC Williams HGH School football team that was 88 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: from the town of Alexandria, r Ginia. And I actually 89 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: did an episode where I fact checked all the things 90 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: from this movie, So if you want to go back 91 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: and listen to that episode, I took a real deep 92 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: dive into this movie and what was actually happening at 93 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: that time and what was shown in the movie, and 94 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: some other things that were just made for the sake 95 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: of giving it a Hollywood spin. I just felt like 96 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: this one was easily the most famous movie to be 97 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: out of Virginia, and it's one that we all probably 98 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: watched growing up in high school or like middle school. 99 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: It was you just watched this movie no matter what. 100 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: It's also really heartfelt and you learned some things in 101 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: this movie. So we're going with Remember the Titans here. 102 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: Moving on now to West Virginia. I want to give 103 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: some honorable mentions first because there's a movie that I 104 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: really liked called American Ultra that's based out of West 105 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: Virginia and a really underrated movie duo. I feel like 106 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: it's Jesse Eisenberg and Kristin Stewart. They did this movie together. 107 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: They also did a movie called adventure Land together, and 108 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: for some reason, I really liked them on screen together. 109 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: I think they have really great chemistry, and I just 110 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: like watching them both separately and together. It's probably my favorite. 111 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: I don't think a whole lot of people saw this movie, 112 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: but it's a really great one to come out of 113 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: West Virginia. Also honorable mentions, you have Pat Adams with 114 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: Robin Williams, and then a bunch of guys on Twitter 115 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: said we are Marshall. But the one I had to 116 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: put as being the most famous movie to come out 117 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: of West Virginia was the one I saw more tweets 118 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: about the one I already had on my list, and 119 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 1: it was October Sky, another movie that you probably watched 120 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: a lot growing up, whether like in middle schore or 121 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: high school, because because it's a great movie that's educational 122 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: at the same time entertaining, and it takes place in Coalwood, 123 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: West Virginia. You got Jake Jillen Hall who plays a 124 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: guy named Homer, and you don't see a whole lot 125 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: of characters that aren't in The Simpsons named Homer was 126 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: probably one of my favorite things about this movie for 127 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: some reason. And you know, his dad's working at the 128 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: coal miner, wants him to be a coal miner, and 129 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: he wants to pursue rocketry, as they say. And it 130 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: takes place in you know, nineteen fifty seven, which I 131 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: like movies set back in the day. So a lot 132 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: of things that this movie has going for it. A 133 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: young Jake jillen Hall, who man, it's really just crazy 134 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: to see how many great movies he's been in his career. 135 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: Here just in this episode alone. I've already mentioned another 136 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: movie he was in, Donny Darka, which is another cult classics. 137 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: So Jake Jillenhall, West Virginia, let's go with October Sky here. 138 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: Moving on now to the Carolina's Let's start first with 139 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: North Carolina. I saw some people tweeting about dirty dancing, 140 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: and I've researched a lot about dirty dancing because I 141 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: was interested in this movie after watching that episode of 142 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: the Movies that made Us on Netflix. And this movie 143 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: actually takes place and is filmed in like two separate locations. 144 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: One of them happens to be in North Carolina, which 145 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: I know they do like a festival there where you 146 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: can go and visit some of the scenes where this 147 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: movie was filmed, but it doesn't really take entirely place 148 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: in North Carolina, but I felt like I would mention 149 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: it here. You also have Cape Fear from back in 150 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: the Day with Robert de Niro, which was a movie 151 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: I kind of learned about in a reverse way. I 152 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: saw it parodied on The Simpsons before I actually knew 153 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: that it was a real movie that existed, but that 154 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: takes place in North Carolina. Nicholas sparks with Both of 155 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: his movies and books are in the Carolina's The most 156 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: famous one probably in North Carolina was A Walk to Remember, 157 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: and then another nineties movie that we all probably remember 158 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: and has been kind of parodied, and maybe it doesn't 159 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: really hold up over the years, but I know what 160 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: you did last summer with Jennifer love Hewitt that was 161 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: said in the Town in North Carolina, which I feel 162 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: is arguably pretty famous. They made a sequel, and at 163 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: the time those movies made a lot of money, But 164 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: I feel the movie that holds more true to North 165 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: Carolina and has more references and it's overall just a 166 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: more beloved movie has to be Bull Durham based on 167 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: the nickname for Durham. North Carolina came out back in night. 168 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: You got Kevin Costner, Susan Surrandon, Tim Robbins got baseball, 169 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: you got romance. You put them together. You have the 170 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: most famous movie to come out of North Carolina, going 171 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: with Bull Durham. Moving on now to South Carolina. One 172 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: of my favorite movies that is based there would have 173 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: to be Full Metal Jacket. And I watched this movie 174 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: when I was like thirteen years old, and man, what 175 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: an intense movie and probably one you shouldn't watch it 176 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: thirteen years old. I felt like that was a pretty 177 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: good one. You also have The Patriot with Mel Gibson, 178 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: and then Radio with Cuba Gooding Jr. Which is another 179 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: really good one and based on a true story. But 180 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: again going back to the world of Nicholas Sparks, a 181 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: lot of his movies and books are all kind of 182 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: based out of the Carolinas. But the one to come 183 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: out of South Carolina that you can't really argue against 184 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: would have to be The Notebook, one of the biggest, 185 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: if not the biggest, romance movie. You can actually go 186 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: see some of the locations in Charleston, South Carolina, so 187 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty cool too, So let's go with 188 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: the Notebook for being the most famous movie out of 189 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: South Carolina. Moving on now to Georgia, which Georgia is 190 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: an interesting state because they actually film a lot of 191 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: movies in Georgia that aren't set in Georgia, Like a 192 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: lot of the Avenger stuff is filmed in Georgia. The 193 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: Hunger Games had some scenes filmed in Georgia. Even TV 194 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: shows like The Walking Dead are filmed in Georgia. So 195 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: sometimes when things take place in like some kind of 196 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: scenery far far away, it's actually you're watching Georgia. But 197 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: as far as movies actually based in Georgia, which is 198 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: what we're looking at, you have movies like the Ulti 199 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: Media movies. You have Deliverance, and one of my most 200 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: recent favorite movies is a movie called Baby Driver, which 201 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: took place in Georgia. And you also have Gone with 202 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: the Wind, which I feel it doesn't really hold up 203 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: over the test of time. It's a really old movie, 204 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: too outdated, even though it's based in Georgia. I feel 205 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: like the movie I have to go with is Smokey 206 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: and the Bandit. I know it does have some road 207 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: trip elements, but the majority of the movie does take 208 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: place and West filming in Atlanta, and Burt Reynolds, the 209 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,599 Speaker 1: icon that he is, felt he had to go some 210 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: more on the list. So we're going with Smokey on 211 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: the bandit most famous movie out of Georgia. All right, 212 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: let's move on now to Florida. We'll do one more 213 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: state before we take a break here, because there's a 214 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: lot more states still to cover here in the South. 215 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: And when I got to Florida, I felt like I 216 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: had my clear cut winner. There was one movie that 217 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: I just felt is the most famous and also just 218 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: shows a lot of Florida Miami in particular. But then 219 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: when I kind of researched Florida a little bit more, 220 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, man, there are a lot more movies 221 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: than you think that are based in Lord, so a 222 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: lot of honorable mentions here. We have Caddyshack, Magic, Mike 223 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: Paulo's Thirteen Bad Boys, and then a bunch of You 224 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: Guys on Twitter, Set Edwards His or Hands, which I 225 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: didn't really think about, but it does take place there. 226 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: I feel like those are all pretty big movies too, 227 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: But I still felt true to the movie I thought, 228 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: and the head of my head, and it is scarfaced. 229 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: So although this movie was actually shot in Los Angeles, 230 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: it's all taking place in Miami. And they were even 231 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: so worried when this movie came out that it would 232 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: hinder tourism because it kind of shows the underbelly of 233 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: Miami and kind of all the bad things that go on. 234 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: And they were worried when this movie came out of 235 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: the man, if people see all this crime and violence 236 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: that are going on and the way it's depicted in 237 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: this movie, they won't want to come here, which I 238 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: felt you kind of get that a little bit, but 239 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: it also just made Miami look pretty cool too. So 240 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: you have al Pacino in arguably his most famous role 241 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: of all time. And there's just so many things about 242 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: this movie that I loved. I love the hardcore or 243 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: grotesque violence. If you're gonna go be violent in a movie, 244 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: I like that they really go for it in this movie. 245 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: And I think this is one of the first movies 246 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: that I was like, I can't really believe that they're 247 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: actually doing that and showing that. And it's just the 248 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: classic rise and fall of somebody who gets power and 249 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: then just kind of obliterates himself with it, no pun intended. 250 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: You have the iconic locations, you have the iconic sets, 251 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: and one of the most famous movie quotes of all 252 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: time say Hello to my Little Friend, a really great 253 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: classic movie. So with Florida, we're going with Scarface. All right, 254 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: that's gonna do it with this first segment had a 255 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: lot of states in that one. So we're gonna come 256 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: back and get into the state that I live in, Tennessee, 257 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: in the state that I'm from, Texas. So quick break 258 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: right here and we'll come back with more. All right, 259 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: back here for a second segment, running through the other 260 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: states here in the South. A movie I saw a 261 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: lot reference from Kentucky was Coal Miner's Daughter, which was 262 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: an older movie and came out in and it's the 263 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: story of Loretta Lynn, who was born in Kentucky. And 264 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: I feel like she's more famous as being a musician 265 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: of course in country music. I don't feel like the 266 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: movie rings up there is being the most famous movie 267 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: out of the state, because I don't think it's a 268 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: movie where you really referenced a whole lot. You don't 269 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: hear a lot about it unless you're a big country 270 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: music fan. And no Loretta Lynn, and then looking at 271 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: other movies out of Kentucky, I realized, well, they do 272 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: make a lot of movies about horses, and a really 273 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: lot of like old classic movies too. But I feel 274 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: like the one movie that embodies Kentucky because not only 275 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: does it have horses, it's based on a story out 276 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: of Lexington, and it's a movie we probably all know 277 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: and would recognize the story, and it's Sea Biscuit. The 278 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: two thousand three version got nominated for like seven Academy Awards, 279 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: and they also filmed a lot of it in Kentucky. 280 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: So we're going with Sea Biscuit here, all right, everybody good, 281 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Let's move on to Tennessee, which is where I live 282 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: right now, currently been in Nashville, Tennessee for about four 283 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: years now, and I feel like there are two two 284 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: big movies to come out of here, and obviously they're 285 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: both music movies, Nashville being known for country music. You 286 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: have walked the Line, but I don't feel like walk 287 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: the Line really shows Tennessee and shows Nashville. I mean, 288 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: it greatly focuses on the life of Johnny cash Is 289 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: from his early life as a kid, you know, him 290 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: growing up and being in Memphis and then moving here 291 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: later in Nashville, but I don't even feel like they've 292 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: referenced a whole lot of Nashville when he's actually here, 293 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: and then a lot of it is him on the road, 294 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: so while a lot of it is taking place while 295 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: he's spending time living in Tennessee. I didn't feel like 296 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: that one was enough Tennessee for me. And the other 297 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: music movie which is based in Memphis, Tennessee, and it's 298 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: a really great kind of depiction of the more real 299 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: side of Memphis, and and with this one, I felt 300 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: it was just a better representation not only of the 301 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: city of Memphis, but just it had more Tennessee in 302 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: it for me, And I feel it's also a really 303 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: big famous movie to have all you know, the Grammy 304 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 1: and Oscar nominations that came out with this one. And 305 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: I'm talking about Hustle and Flow, because not only that, 306 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: you have the song that came out from it was 307 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: from the three six Mafia, based in Memphis, Tennessee. And 308 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: I think hard out Here for a Bib is one 309 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: of the greatest soundtrack songs of all time, one of 310 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: my favorites at least so We're going with hustle and 311 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: flow here, and that's coming from a guy who now 312 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: lives in Tennessee. Moving on now to Mississippi. You have 313 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: a few picks here to go with, um the help 314 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: of Time to Kill, which is one that a lot 315 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: of you guys on Twitter really seem to like. But 316 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: I feel like the most famous movie here was Oh Brother, 317 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: Where Art Thou? With George Clooney. And again another theme 318 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: here I'm seeing with all the movies in the South 319 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: is the soundtracks to go along with it, and this 320 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: one actually had some Grammy nominations too, and I think 321 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: that was really important to this movie and also just 322 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: showing Mississippi through the music. So we're going with Oh Brother, 323 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: Where Art Thou as the most famous one here alright. 324 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: Moving on now to Alabama, And without a doubt with 325 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: this one, I'm not even gonna go through some honorable 326 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: mentions to start with, because easily the most famous movie 327 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: is Forrest Gump. Like I think of Alabama, and I 328 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: think of, you know, Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks yelling out 329 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: the line of Alabama like that, That's what comes to 330 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: my head automatically when I think about the Alabama in 331 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: any kind of movie. Which the thing about this when 332 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: it actually starts taking place in Savannah, Georgia, where he's 333 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: sitting at the bus stop, and that's where it kind 334 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: of starts, and you can actually go visit that bench 335 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: and see that scene where it takes place in Georgia. 336 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: But the entire movie and the story of Forrest Gump 337 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: is all about Alabama. I mean, he plays on the 338 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: football team, and there's just so much Alabama in this 339 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: movie that it really fits better and is mostly set 340 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: in Alabama. But you also have movies like Fried Green Tomatoes, Selma, 341 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: Sweet Home Alabama, and Big Fish all to come out 342 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: of here. So there's some great movies here. But it's 343 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: the biggest Tom Hanks movie, and I think it's on 344 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of you know, people's listen when they listen 345 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: their favorite movies, so easily it goes to Forrest Gump 346 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: moving on over to Oklahoma, which I think also comes 347 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: down to two movies and one honorable mention, which is 348 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: foot Loose, which he actually relocates to Oklahoma in the movie. 349 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: But then you have of the Movie, which is a 350 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: musical named after the state of Oklahoma, And then you 351 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: have my favorite movie to come out of Oklahoma, which 352 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: is Twister, So you gotta determine which one is more famous. Now, 353 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: Oklahoma is a very old movie, and it's one I 354 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: hear just getting reference more so than I know for 355 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: being the actual movie and not gonna lie. I actually 356 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: haven't seen Oklahoma, but I'm aware of it. It's just 357 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: the movie that I would never go back and watch 358 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: an old musical, and I didn't want to be biased 359 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: on this pig, but I even have the tweets to 360 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: back it up. I'm going with the movie Twister, one 361 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: of my favorite movies of all time, a movie from 362 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: the disaster genre, which I feel as an underrated genre. 363 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: I think one of the greatest movies that they never 364 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: made a sequel to. And they also filmed a lot 365 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: of this movie in Oklahoma. You can even go in 366 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: to the actual town that they filmed this movie in. 367 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: And I also had actor Shaun Whalen on this podcast 368 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: who was in the movie, talking about Oklahoma. So I 369 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: know it's hard for me to say it again because 370 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: I love this movie so much, but we're going with 371 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: Twister here, all right, Let's go down to Louisiana, which 372 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: I actually just watched and I was talking about Project Power, 373 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: which I felt had so much of New Orleans in 374 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: that movie that I really like the way they did that, 375 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: Like there was no way that movie could not have 376 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: been in any other city, like they had so much 377 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: of that movie. So if you haven't seen that on 378 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: Netflix yet and you're from Louisiana, or you wanted to 379 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: see something that I felt like embodies a city unlike 380 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: I've seen in any of the recent movie that's a 381 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: really great one. But again that's very new couldn't be 382 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: the most famous movie out of there, but I did 383 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: enjoy that one, and how they depicted Louisiana. I just 384 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: had to mention it here. You just have a Disney 385 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: movie to come out of Louisiana, The Princess in the Frog, 386 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: which I felt was a very important Disney movie, and 387 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: also a movie that has music in it. You have 388 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: a street car named Desire, Twelves the Slave Deepwater Horizon, 389 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: which I felt was a good movie that got some 390 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: pretty not so great reviews, but I did enjoy learning 391 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: a little bit more of that in that movie. And 392 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: then the two big ones that would kind of battle 393 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: it out at the very top would have to be 394 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: the Green Mile and Steel Magnolias, And if I had 395 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: to decide between the two, which is what we're doing 396 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: on this episode, I'm gonna have to go with Steel Magnolias. 397 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: I feel like you get that small town vibe in 398 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: this one. And this movie not only is a great 399 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: depiction of Louisiana, but it also just embodies a lot 400 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: of what the South is about and what it was 401 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: like in the eighties. It's also a movie that will 402 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: make you laugh and cry. And the cast in this 403 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: one is just amazing, from Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Julia 404 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: Roberts as so many people in this movie. And going 405 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: back to my theory of people were making the list 406 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: of their favorite movies, I would just can envision a 407 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: lot of people putting this one on their list. So 408 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: we're going with Steel Magnolias from Louisiana. All right, two 409 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: more states left in the South. Let's go over now 410 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: to Arkansas, which a movie this year actually came out 411 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: with Vince Vaughan and Liam Hemsworth named Arkansas. But when 412 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: it comes to the most famous movies, I went to 413 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: you guys on Twitter a lot for this one because 414 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: they're actually a whole Because there actually aren't a whole 415 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: lot of movies to be based out of Arkansas. The 416 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: two most famous I got it down to Mud with 417 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: Matthew mcconne. Hey, but I'm gonna go with the one 418 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: that really kind of kick started and defined Billy bob 419 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: orton his career, and it is sling Blade. And although 420 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: he didn't win, he was nominated for a Best Actor 421 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: after this performance in this movie. It's probably his best role, 422 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: even though I love him in Bet Santa as well, 423 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: but this is just his career defining role. And it 424 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: was set in Arkansas and filmed in Bett in Arkansas. 425 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,719 Speaker 1: So we're going with sling Blade for Arkansas, all right. 426 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: And I left Texas for last because Texas is my 427 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: home state. I grew up in walks Hatchee, Texas, which 428 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: is about thirty minutes south out of Dallas, and I 429 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: loved watching a movie base out of the state I 430 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: lived in, mainly because I wanted to see what they 431 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: showcased and how they chose and would kind of define 432 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: what Texans are all about. Because a lot of people, 433 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: when you think of Texas, you think of people writing, 434 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, courses to work and stuff like that. But 435 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: Texas is not like that at all. Very occasionally you'll 436 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: see that actually happening, and it's usually a very just 437 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: kind of novelty team. We don't actually do sad in Texas. 438 00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: So I have a lot of movies on my list. 439 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with some honorable mentions here because one 440 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: of my favorite directors is Robert Rodriguez, and I love 441 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,719 Speaker 1: just how he puts Texas into all of his movies, 442 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: in particular when he did in the movie My Chet Day, 443 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: Like that movie has so much of Austin, Texas in it, 444 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: and it was just fun to watch because I remember 445 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: when I was living there and then like strutting off 446 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: parts of the city to film that movie, and then 447 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: going to see that movie and be like, oh, I 448 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: know where they filmed that. Like, he always just does 449 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: a great job of representing that he is from Texas 450 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: and showing it in a cool way. But I don't 451 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: feel like any of his movies are super famous. They 452 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: just kind of mean a lot to me. Running through 453 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: some others before I get to some bigger ones. Do 454 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: you have a Dallas Buyers Club? Friday night Lights? Boyhood, 455 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: The Alamo, Bernie, which is based on a true story 456 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: Urban Cowboy, which is a really big one with John Travolta. 457 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: One of my favorite movies is The Kids Selena, about 458 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: you know, the singer Selena. That's all about her growing 459 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: up here and you know a lot of it's filmed 460 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: and based in Corpus Christie. And that was a movie 461 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: important to me, not only because I was impacted by 462 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: her music as a kid, like I think that was 463 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: like the first kind of musical act that I identified 464 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: with because she was born in Texas and had that 465 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: kind of split between of you know, being a Mexican 466 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: American and Americans thinking she's not American enough, Mexicans thinking 467 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: she was in Mexican enough, and I feel like that's 468 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: kind of the battle I've had my entire life. And 469 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: it was shown in that movie of her, you know, 470 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: not speaking Spanish but singing in Spanish and going to 471 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: Mexico and all that stuff, and I felt it really 472 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: represented and showed Texas in a cool way too. And 473 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: for me growing up in Texas, she was an icon 474 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: and I love that movie. But I also feel that's 475 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: kind of because I'm from Texas that it feels like 476 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: it's such a famous movie. So I didn't go with 477 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: that one here. Another one of my favorite movies is 478 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 1: No Country for Old Men, which is filmed out in 479 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: West Texas, out by a small town called Marfa, And 480 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: that is like a subtly Texan movie because it does 481 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: show that kind of West Texas vibe and it has 482 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: like that sinister underlying that it is in Texas, and 483 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: it does it in such a cool, subtle way that 484 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed. Then you have what I think are 485 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: the big two, which the first one I'll get to 486 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: that I didn't go with was Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which 487 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: was mostly filmed around Round Rock in Austin, Texas way 488 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: back in the day, and it made like a bunch 489 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: of people kind of questioned whether or not this was 490 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: actually a true story. And I remember growing up thinking like, oh, 491 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: they made a movie based on something that actually happened, 492 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: and it made it more terrifying, which played a big 493 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: part into I guess a bunch of people watching this 494 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: movie and thinking, oh, man, did this actually go down? 495 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: And there wasn't actually a leather face who would go 496 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: around murdering people with a chainsaw. It was based on 497 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: like a classic I don't want to say classic, like 498 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: I'm glorifying this guy, but it was a serial killer 499 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: who did do a string of murders. But it wasn't 500 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: entirely like a true story, even though they kind of 501 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: made it seem like this actually went down in Texas. 502 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: But again, you think of Texas, you think of a 503 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: movie with the state in the name, and they've also 504 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 1: made a bunch of these, but I didn't feel like 505 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: it was really a representation of Texas like some of 506 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: these other movies I mentioned, even though it is such 507 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: a famous of a movie. The movie I am going 508 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: with is Days to Confused, which has Matthew McConaughey and 509 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: it who is kind of the unspoken mascot of the 510 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: state of Texas, whether it's his love for ut football 511 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: or just all the movies he's in and where he 512 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,959 Speaker 1: represents Texas. And I lived in Austin for about seven years. 513 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: I made it a point to when I lived there 514 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: to go see some of the places where this movie 515 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: was filmed. And I feel like this movie has a 516 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: lot of austin In and it has a lot of 517 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,959 Speaker 1: Texas in it without being like a cowboy movie. And 518 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey's iconic alright, alright or right line comes from 519 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: this movie, which is he is just known for saying 520 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: all the time, and it's being one of the most 521 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: famous Texans, an A list movie star and a really 522 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,719 Speaker 1: classic just indie movie based in Austin, Texas. You have 523 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: to go with days and confused here. That's coming from 524 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: a Texan. So all right, we did it. We made 525 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: it through the South. Next week I'll be wrapping up 526 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,479 Speaker 1: the series going through all the movies in the West, 527 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: So if you want to get your picks in for that, 528 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: just tweet me at Mike Destro on Twitter. All right, 529 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: let's get into a movie review now. I'm gonna be 530 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: talking about Bill and Ted Face, the music, and in 531 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: preparation for this movie, which I was excited it for, 532 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: I went back and watched the two original Bill and 533 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: Ted's to kind of put me in that feeling again, 534 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: kind of feel nostalgic a bit that way going into 535 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: this one. I would remember some of the characters a 536 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: little bit better, remember the plot lines, and kind of 537 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: feel like, Okay, is this a good jumping off point 538 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: for this movie? Because it's comes so long after the 539 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: original one, you wonder when they do these kind of 540 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 1: reboots whether it even is gonna matter where it's gonna 541 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: be any good. So the movie cost twenty dollars to rent, 542 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: and I will leave here letting you know whether or 543 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: not it is worth those twenty dollars. I'll tell you 544 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: a little bit about what the movie was about the 545 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: plot line, but I won't ruin any of it. If 546 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: you want to go check it out yourself, because I'll 547 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: never ruin a movie on here. It's just not cool 548 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: to do. And anyway, before I get into that, here's 549 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: just a little bit of Bill and Ted face the 550 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,719 Speaker 1: music dud. Now, why can't we just go to the 551 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: future when we have written it'll take it from ourselves, 552 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: except won't be stealing sears? How is that stealing? For 553 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: stealing it from ourselves? All right, so let's talk about 554 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: this movie. So right off the bat, I felt like 555 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: I was right there back in the original one. But 556 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: it didn't feel cheesy in anyway. And it also didn't 557 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: feel like, oh, they're just doing the same old thing again. 558 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: I like the storyline they brought into this movie. So 559 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: if you don't know or don't really know what this 560 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: plot line is about, essentially, Bill and Head in present 561 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: day now and they got to get there and married 562 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: the girls from the past that they brought back, the princesses, 563 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: and now they have a daughter each, so they're each 564 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: named after themselves, so with Billy and Stea, who are 565 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: essentially their kids. And then they married the princesses that 566 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: they got way back in the original one, and they're 567 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,239 Speaker 1: not married to them, so that's kind of where this 568 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: one takes place, and they're traveling through time again trying 569 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: to find their future selves who have created the song, 570 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: and therefore getting that song, bringing it back and saving 571 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: the world. So that's what this movie is about. And 572 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: what I really liked is it shows them kind of 573 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: struggling with getting older, and it shows them struggling with 574 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: not being as successful anymore, because it addresses how after 575 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: their music career took off early in the nineties that 576 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: they never really had success after that, and you kind 577 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: of see their downfall, you see them at their lowest, 578 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: which I thought was kind of an interesting thing to 579 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: put into this movie. And I also just really like 580 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,959 Speaker 1: the playoff of them having kids and hell who are 581 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: exactly like them but also girls, which I think is funny. 582 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: And I think that storyline alone doesn't feel like some 583 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: just kind of cheesy Rebooted has the actual substance here 584 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,959 Speaker 1: where you're actually looking forward to what these characters are 585 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: gonna do and you're interested in the story at the 586 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: same time feeling nostalgic like you're getting what you got 587 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: and love of the original, but also just kind of 588 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: bringing new life into it, like they could even continue 589 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: doing Bill and Ted movies with their daughters. So I 590 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: really enjoyed that part of it. And then also the 591 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: other cast members that they kind of brought back from 592 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: the original movies, like Ted the original dad is back, 593 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: Bill's mom who he had the hots wore in the 594 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 1: in the first movie is back. I liked that they 595 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: did that. You also have death coming back from part two, 596 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: and then of course they had to re put in 597 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: some people because George Carlin died a while back and 598 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: it's had be in this movie, but they make his 599 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: character have a daughter in this, which I think actually 600 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: was a pretty cool touch that they addressed that. And 601 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: they even found a way to work in like a 602 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: c g I George Carlin in It two, which was 603 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: also cool. They have some cameos in there. The music 604 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: is still fun. There were just a lot of things 605 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: I enjoyed about this movie, And while it's not some 606 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: kind of groundbreaking approach, it's nothing like you're gonna watch 607 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: and be like blown away by. It's just a fun movie, 608 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: like I need this in my life right now to 609 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: see something familiar, but also not just feel like a 610 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: cash grab, which a lot of these reboots just feel 611 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: like time after time. There was something here, and after 612 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: I watched it, I was like, that was worth the 613 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: twenty bucks. If I would have saw it in theaters, 614 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: I would have loved it even more. But there was 615 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: nothing in this movie I felt they would have done differently, 616 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: Like everything about it I enjoyed. I got some good 617 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: laughs out of it, and it also kind of made 618 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: me feel oddly emotional in ways when some of the 619 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: scenes with like their daughters and what ends up happening 620 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: towards the end of the movie, like I won't ruin it, 621 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: but I was like, man, this actually has an emotional 622 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: feeling to me right now, and I don't know it's 623 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: because of what's kind of going on right now, which 624 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about after this segment, but something about 625 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: watching those scenes and seeing the story play out, it 626 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: kind of made me feel like I was reliving something 627 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: I guess, but also kind of seeing something special too, 628 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: So I think it had a bunch going for it 629 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: that I wasn't expecting from a Bill and Ted movie. 630 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: So I would give it. If you're already a fan 631 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: of the Bill and Ted movies, which I was, you 632 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: would easily give this a four point five out of 633 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: five phone booths. It's it's just it's good, like it's 634 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: good and it gives you everything you want. And I 635 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: think that's who's gonna watch this movie because everybody who 636 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: was a fan of the originals. If I don't know 637 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: if it would transfer. If you've never seen the original 638 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: movies and you were only hopping into this one, you 639 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: may not get it so much, like some of the 640 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: references maybe wouldn't hit the same way. So I think 641 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: it is a little bit of an investment if you 642 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: have to go back and watch the first two. But 643 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: I also think with that storyline with their daughters, they 644 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: may hold a little bit to its own, but a 645 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: lot of it is just nostalgia of seeing a grown 646 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: Keanrees and Alex Winter Like they've aided a little bit, 647 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: and it's still it's still funny when they do this character. 648 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: So I really liked it. I think it's worth the 649 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: twenty dollars, especially if you're a Bill and Ted fan 650 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: and you're looking for something new to watch at home 651 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: to kind of give you that feeling like you're back 652 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: in the movie theater. I think this is a pretty 653 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: good investment to spring the twenty bucks on. All right, 654 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: So there you go. That's what I think about the 655 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: new Bill and Ted. Alright. So it was really sad 656 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: news that happened over the weekend. I was on Twitter 657 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: on Friday night and I saw that Chadwick Boseman died 658 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: and I didn't believe it. Like I looked at the 659 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: tweet and it I I couldn't really process it in 660 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: my head because I saw his name, and then I 661 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: saw it said that he passed away, and I was like, 662 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: it has to be somebody different, like somebody else has 663 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: that name, or I'm reading it wrong, or it's just 664 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: a hoax at the moment, and that's what I was 665 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: just kind of processing in my head. And then I 666 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: started clicking around and I see the actual Instagram post 667 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: come from his account, you know, saying everything and confirming 668 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: the death that he had colon cancer, and then I 669 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: just kind of went into reading what happened because I 670 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: I think, like you who Proba Police saw this over 671 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: the weekend too, didn't even know he had colon cancer, 672 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: let alone for four years and never got out to 673 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: the media, and he went on to do all these 674 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: amazing roles while he was battling that, and we had 675 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: no idea, like no idea like you. Over everything that 676 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: I've read from this, just the fact that he did 677 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: whole of these movies and did all these things throughout 678 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: his career where he's battling this without anybody knowing, was 679 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: heartbreaking and just shows how amazing of a person he was, 680 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: how amazing of an actor he was, and that he 681 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: in himself even though he portrayed and played a superhero, 682 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: like he had superhero qualities inside him to be able 683 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: to do this, Like I can only imagine how hard 684 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: it was to do a movie so demanding like Black Panther, 685 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: to be in all of those Avengers movies while you're 686 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: battling this, like that's an insane thing to wrap her 687 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: head around, and it just doesn't get out into the media. 688 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: It was just also crazy.

And just how 693 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: important he was to people. To see like all the 694 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: actors and just parents of people like posting messages over 695 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: the weekend, was just kind of crazy to see just 696 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: how his life and his work has impacted everybody so much. 697 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: And you know, he did all these movies, but it 698 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: was you know, The Black Panther which made him a star, 699 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: like the superstar that he was, and just to see 700 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: how important that movie was when it came out for 701 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: people to have somebody who finally looked like them portray 702 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: a superhero and for that movie not only to do 703 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: so well at the box office, but also I get 704 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: like the recognition it deserved, what the Oscar nominations, and 705 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: to be like above being just the superhero movie was 706 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: a will received movie from critics and kind of transcended 707 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: anything else in the Marvel universe. And it was because 708 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: of his performance and because of what that movie meant 709 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: to people and the impact it had is why that 710 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: movie was so important and maybe you saw the video 711 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: they got posted back around, which was from Jimmy Fallon 712 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: Show where he's standing behind and listening in on these 713 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: people talking to his movie poster of Black Panther and 714 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: telling the poster or how impactful his character was and 715 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: how much his performance meant to them to you know, 716 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: be represented in a superhero movie, and then he comes 717 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: out and surprises them. Like that video made me emotional. 718 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: It was cool just to have that moment and to 719 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: have that kind of real life connection with just just 720 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: the superhero character. And and it's not just that. And 721 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: I think that's also why I love movies so much, 722 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: and especially superhero movies, because it goes beyond just going 723 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: to see something entertaining and you know, a superhero movie 724 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: taking away your problems for the two and a half 725 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: hours that you watch it. It's all so for the 726 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: first time ever, a movie like Black Panther having something 727 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: you can identify with, and that means a lot to 728 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: a lot of kids out there right now who have 729 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: seen just characters who don't look like them on the 730 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: big screen and to finally have somebody you can rally 731 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: behind and be like, yeah, that that could be me, 732 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: Like I could be somebody who has no limits. I 733 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: could get to that level on my own because that 734 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: guy looks like me. I want to be like that. 735 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: I want to be as strong as a Black Panther. 736 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: So this was a tough one. It was a tough 737 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: one to see. It was a tough one to read about. 738 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,959 Speaker 1: And I saw that on Friday night. I woke up 739 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: Saturday morning or what's the new Bill and ted to 740 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: kind of make me feel happy again. I think that's 741 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: also why the movie made me a little bit emotional. 742 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: But then I just started watching Black Panther to you know, 743 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: relive that again and see his performance, and I was 744 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: just moved again. And it probably hit differently just because 745 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: of what that movie is about, and how like the 746 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: start of it is kind of so important now to 747 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: go back and watch. So I just want to take 748 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: a moment pay tribute to him, pay tribute to his career. 749 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: No that we'll miss seeing him on the big screen, 750 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: and even know in the sadness that he has gone, 751 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: I think we can find a little bit of joy 752 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 1: of just how impactful his character was and how much 753 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,280 Speaker 1: he meant to people. Portraying Black Panther, portraying King Tachalla 754 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: and that movie will live on forever and we can 755 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: forever watch that and remember him. So yeah, I rest 756 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: in peace to Chadwick Boseman, and I'm just gonna leave 757 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: you with one of these.
