Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike and do you like eighties movies? Well,
Speaker 1: if so, I have the episode for you today, because
Speaker 1: coming up I'll be talking to Corey Feldman and Jamison
Speaker 1: new Lander there from the movie The Lost Boys which
Speaker 1: came out back in the day. And then in the
Speaker 1: movie review we'll talk about a new horror movie that
Speaker 1: just came out over the weekend called Smile and the
Speaker 1: creepy marketing tactics behind this movie that I loved. And
Speaker 1: in the trailer park we finally got a teaser for
Speaker 1: dead Pool three which is coming and Hugh Jackman his
Speaker 1: back is Wolverine, so there's a lot to dive into.
Speaker 1: Their thanks for being subscribed. Shout out to the Monday
Speaker 1: Morning Movie crew for listening every single Monday. And now
Speaker 1: let's talk movies. In a world where everyone and their
Speaker 1: mother has a podcast, one man stands to infiltrate the
Speaker 1: ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast.
Speaker 1: A man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like
Speaker 1: a walking I M. David which Glasses from the Nashville
Speaker 1: Podcast Network. Jesus movie movie about to get into my
Speaker 1: conversation with Corey Felman and Jamison new Lander talking about
Speaker 1: the movie The Lost Boys, which they played the Frog Brothers.
Speaker 1: The movie came out back in nine seven and it
Speaker 1: is celebrating its thirty five anniversary this year, which The
Speaker 1: movie is about a family moving back into their grandfather's
Speaker 1: house in a California town nicknamed the murder Capital of
Speaker 1: the World. The kid in that family is Corey him
Speaker 1: the other famous Corey from the eighties, and Corey's brother
Speaker 1: in that movie gets involved with the vampire gang and
Speaker 1: that's where Corey Felman and Jamison new Landers characters come
Speaker 1: into play, who work at the comic book store in town,
Speaker 1: and they are also undercover vampire hunters, so they helped
Speaker 1: Corey Jim's character save the rest of the town from
Speaker 1: this vampire gang. Corey has been in movies like The
Speaker 1: Goonies where he played mouth stand by Me, Gremlins, and
Speaker 1: of course The Lost Boys where he and Jamison new
Speaker 1: Lander first met. The Lost Boys, I'm sure that fun
Speaker 1: horror energy of the eighties. So if you haven't seen
Speaker 1: this movie in a while, or you haven't seen it
Speaker 1: at all, it's actually available now on four K and digital.
Speaker 1: If you want to go and watch it. We talk
Speaker 1: all about the behind the scenes of what they remember
Speaker 1: from making this movie, and we even talk about Corey
Speaker 1: him who him and Corey Felman were really good friends
Speaker 1: up until he passed away in And another thing I'll
Speaker 1: mention is, whenever I get to do these, they usually
Speaker 1: want me to stick to the movie they are promoting,
Speaker 1: which is The Lost Boys, and that's what I try
Speaker 1: to do. Sometimes I get notes back saying you gotta
Speaker 1: stick on the movie. So I worked in questions to
Speaker 1: get them to talk about the movies they've been in
Speaker 1: without just going after it. But I knew the task
Speaker 1: at hand. I just know I couldn't bring you, guys,
Speaker 1: a Corey Felman interview without talking about the Goonies. That
Speaker 1: would be a disservice to you. I really love this
Speaker 1: conversation with an eighties icon. So here we go. Let's
Speaker 1: get into the interview with Corey Felman and Jamison Newlander. Hey, movie, Mike,
Speaker 1: how you do it? I am great. It's an honor
Speaker 1: to get to talk to you guys. I gotta say
Speaker 1: I rewatched The Lost Boys over the weekend, in a
Speaker 1: movie that only took twenty one days to film. But
Speaker 1: here we are, thirty five years later talking about it.
Speaker 1: I wonder how often do you guys rewatch the movies
Speaker 1: that you've been in. Well, Corey's got a lot more
Speaker 1: movies to rewatch, to watch them a lot. I watched Lost,
Speaker 1: I watched I watched Lost Boys a lot. And you've
Speaker 1: been in four movies with me. Yeah, I've been a lot.
Speaker 1: You know. I tend to like really look at myself,
Speaker 1: like I'm really sort of vain in that way, Like
Speaker 1: I just really look at myself again and again and
Speaker 1: again and and uh so I kind of obsessed about myself.
Speaker 1: So I watched my lot. At least he's an honest guy.
Speaker 1: You about you, Corey? Uh yeah, probably more than I'd like. Um,
Speaker 1: but I'm you know, I love watching the movie when
Speaker 1: it first comes out. I love to to criticize myself
Speaker 1: or criticize the whole thing, or appreciate it as well.
Speaker 1: But you know, I have to say, after thirty forty times,
Speaker 1: love for the passion of it, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: wears off a bit. But you know, like for example,
Speaker 1: over the weekend, I did a convention. I've been on
Speaker 1: tour with my band all over America, over the last
Speaker 1: five weeks. One of those events that I actually performed
Speaker 1: at was a Lost Boys convention, which was strictly just
Speaker 1: for Lost Boys. Were doing another one actually on Halloween.
Speaker 1: They're doing a big Lost Boys event in Dallas, Texas
Speaker 1: where they're showing the movie and I'm performing. Im gonna
Speaker 1: see if I can get you out there. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so you know, there's a lot of that with Lost Boys.
Speaker 1: And then like I just did a convention over the
Speaker 1: weekend where it was more centered on Goon East and
Speaker 1: they actually showed the movie in this giant, uh like
Speaker 1: theater for you know, plays like theater for the arts,
Speaker 1: and on the stage they had an entire orchestra. It
Speaker 1: was the it was the Utah Philharmonic and yeah, and
Speaker 1: it was really cool. So so watching the entire movie
Speaker 1: scored in real life was to be awesome, I must say. So,
Speaker 1: you know, every once in a while, there's a little
Speaker 1: special attribute, like when Gooneys came out in four K
Speaker 1: had to watch Goodies and four K obviously I'm gonna
Speaker 1: want to watch this one in four k. Uh. So
Speaker 1: it's always nice to see, you know, the changes when
Speaker 1: they freshen it up and sweeten it up and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, but it's got to be something very special
Speaker 1: to make me go watch it again. Well yeah, And
Speaker 1: also the thing about Corey is that it's like for me,
Speaker 1: I can watch my movies, like, you know, Lost Boys
Speaker 1: is big eighties movie for me, but it's like Corey's
Speaker 1: got Lost Boys, Goonies, you know, stand by Me, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, License to Drive, Gremlins. I mean, the list
Speaker 1: goes on, so you can't be watching those constantly or
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get anything else done. Yeah. I don't
Speaker 1: think my ego is big enough to handle that. You know,
Speaker 1: I can only fit in so much. But you know, honestly,
Speaker 1: it's fun when, like I said, when it first starts,
Speaker 1: when you first see him, it's exciting. And then as
Speaker 1: time goes on and it dissipates and the thing is
Speaker 1: then it becomes kind of that thorn in your side
Speaker 1: of like, oh my god, don't make me watch this movie.
Speaker 1: So like the organ thing was beautiful, but I stayed
Speaker 1: for ten minutes and then I was like, Okay, Jamison,
Speaker 1: you started to list all of Corey's movies and this
Speaker 1: was the first movie you ever did, right, the first
Speaker 1: big movie I've done some things here and there, but
Speaker 1: you were already in the Blob right when the Blob
Speaker 1: after So when you come into a movie like this
Speaker 1: and Corey has just been in all of these big
Speaker 1: eighties movies, how does that feel getting to work with
Speaker 1: him for the first time and being cast as brothers.
Speaker 1: So it was a dream come true really because I
Speaker 1: was watching Corey. I was watching both cories. Actually, you
Speaker 1: know Corey and Goonies and and you know Gremlins and
Speaker 1: and you know him in like in in Lucas and
Speaker 1: things like that, so we're BULLI yeah, And so it's
Speaker 1: like for me, it was a dream come true. I
Speaker 1: was sitting there working with these guys, and you know what,
Speaker 1: they were all really sweet. They were all really nice,
Speaker 1: great guys to work with, really giving on camera. You know,
Speaker 1: when we worked together, it wasn't like, you know, oh,
Speaker 1: you've only done a couple. It wasn't like that at all.
Speaker 1: They were just very welcoming. It was beautiful. That's why
Speaker 1: we're still friends. That's hazed him the old time. We
Speaker 1: hated him the whole time. He would never talk to all.
Speaker 1: This beautiful friendship done and Corey, this was the first
Speaker 1: time that you worked with the other Corey was that
Speaker 1: like an instant connection of you guys just having that
Speaker 1: on screen chemistry as well as off screen. Absolutely, And
Speaker 1: and the interesting thing is that we were actually set
Speaker 1: up to be uh you know, kind of enemies or
Speaker 1: something like that, you know, Nemesis or something. Yeah, because uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the backstory is I was in love with
Speaker 1: this girl. There's always a girl, you know. So I
Speaker 1: was with this girl, Robin Lively actually as a kid.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, like she was like kind of the
Speaker 1: apple of my eye because I met her at the
Speaker 1: Youth in Film Awards and right, and I became friends
Speaker 1: with her brother. You know, we became really close, Jason
Speaker 1: and I. Um, and so she started dating Corey. But
Speaker 1: to me, she was giving me the friend thing, you know.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, we're just gonna be friends. Like you're
Speaker 1: so cute, we're so some Yeah you can give him
Speaker 1: back like best friend in the world. You're like a
Speaker 1: brother to me. And then I like see like her
Speaker 1: getting all like swooning over this guy that I don't
Speaker 1: know who he is. She's like, Oh, Corey is so cute,
Speaker 1: he's so this, and he's so that. I was like,
Speaker 1: who's this guy? I'm right here. You know, you don't
Speaker 1: have to say Corey third person. I'm right here. But no,
Speaker 1: she was like, no, this other Corey. He's an actor too.
Speaker 1: He's so cute, he's so awesome, and so I didn't
Speaker 1: know he was. And then when I was doing my
Speaker 1: wardrobe fitting for Lost Boys, Joel says, we've got the
Speaker 1: two Corries. It's gonna be a crazy and I was like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean? Wait? What two corries? Who are they?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm here, but I'm just one person. So
Speaker 1: he's like, no, no, no, Corey Ham And I was like,
Speaker 1: there's that name again. Uh so you had met? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that was the backstory why you know, we could
Speaker 1: have been rivals. But then I get a phone call.
Speaker 1: I come home from school one day and there's a
Speaker 1: message on my answering machine. Remember those, you know, you
Speaker 1: play the list tape so anyway, you have linking life.
Speaker 1: So any way, so I come home and there's this
Speaker 1: message like, hey man, how are you doing buddy? It's
Speaker 1: Corey came. We're gonna be working together. I thought we
Speaker 1: should connect, you know, maybe you can like hang out,
Speaker 1: go to the beach whatever. And I'm like, wow, okay,
Speaker 1: now what I expected. Very friendly, very open. And the
Speaker 1: first day we met, we went to the beach together.
Speaker 1: We had this great time. We went back to his place,
Speaker 1: we connected, we told stories. It was just it was
Speaker 1: like an immediate spark, an immediate best friend connection. And
Speaker 1: you know, it never changed, you know, it was throughout
Speaker 1: his whole life, you know, until the end. We were
Speaker 1: we were close. Jamison. Looking back on filming this movie,
Speaker 1: do you have a favorite picture from the set, like
Speaker 1: just hanging out or if it's like a promo picture,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite picture from the movie. Well, you're saying
Speaker 1: like mental picture, me like like an actual picture like
Speaker 1: you maybe you have in your house somewhere, or just
Speaker 1: one that you've kept over the years. I mean, um,
Speaker 1: that's an interesting question actually, because there's a bunch of pictures,
Speaker 1: and there are some nice candid pictures of of us
Speaker 1: hanging out outside the I'm a bookstore, Um, which I
Speaker 1: think probably will would be the ones that I don't
Speaker 1: even have them, I don't think, but I could probably
Speaker 1: track them down you're looking for them. I'm just just
Speaker 1: like where I was. I was in my groove then,
Speaker 1: you know, the comic book store. I was in my group.
Speaker 1: Those scenes were about us and the work we've done
Speaker 1: was really paying off and everybody was loving it as
Speaker 1: we were doing it, and so, um so I think
Speaker 1: that's probably the those images of me just really being
Speaker 1: a part of the part of the crew and in
Speaker 1: my groove. I think that's, uh, that's probably it. What
Speaker 1: about you, Corey, Um, you know, I was I was
Speaker 1: in a lot of transition, you know, working all the time,
Speaker 1: going from one movie to the next, and constantly doing
Speaker 1: photo shoots and paparazzi and all that kind of stuff
Speaker 1: that you know, you do the team magazines. You're literally
Speaker 1: doing like photo shoots every day. Um So, I don't
Speaker 1: think and I wasn't very good at saving stuff. You know.
Speaker 1: My mom didn't really teach me very well how to
Speaker 1: be organized. So that's something that all came later in
Speaker 1: life as I matured and I grew up and I
Speaker 1: started to you know, actually saved things because they mattered.
Speaker 1: So I can't say that I saved a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: But there's certain things that I see in magazines or
Speaker 1: you know, they'll pop up from time to time on
Speaker 1: the internet, and I know that there's uh probably around
Speaker 1: the same thing that you're talking about there's some white
Speaker 1: photos of like us hanging out on the bikes, I remember,
Speaker 1: and there's like there's stuff that's just off the set,
Speaker 1: but on the set, you know what I mean, we're
Speaker 1: in we're in our character's clothing, but we're like smiling
Speaker 1: and laughing and hanging out and those are those are
Speaker 1: nice pictures And I think it's probably the same set
Speaker 1: that he's talking about. What about the issue number one
Speaker 1: of Vampires Everywhere? Is that still in existence, the one
Speaker 1: you guys all signed. Not only is it in existence,
Speaker 1: but there's replica after replica replica, Like pretty much every
Speaker 1: time we do a convention, at least five people have
Speaker 1: got one of those, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: there there's somebody out there that's like printing mass quantities
Speaker 1: of them. And the interesting thing is they've even figured
Speaker 1: out what the pages were in between, because it's not
Speaker 1: just the cover. There's actually the the copy of the
Speaker 1: pages that were in the original, which is, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of a loosely illustrated vampire comic. But and and
Speaker 1: it even featured Keeper right that like Keeping. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: it was interesting. But yeah, I like to sign those prey.
Speaker 1: You never need to call us, you know, So you're
Speaker 1: telling me the one I got on eBay is a fake,
Speaker 1: it's not the real one. Well, it depends on what
Speaker 1: you paid. I think the original real one. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that exists anymore. But not. So we're all
Speaker 1: real in a way, right, Well, they all look the same,
Speaker 1: and I, in fact, I've got one in my entry
Speaker 1: way sitting on my grandmother's piano, which is an antique piano.
Speaker 1: So you know it's there. And if you see us,
Speaker 1: well we'll sign it and that'll make it official. I
Speaker 1: won't sign it outside that. Well, I appreciate the time, honor,
Speaker 1: get to talk to you guys. Thanks for being there.
Speaker 1: Moved all right, have a good one. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get into a movie review. Now. Let's talk about a
Speaker 1: movie called Smile. Its stars Kevin Bacon's daughter, Soci Bacon.
Speaker 1: It's from first time director Parker Finn, and the movie
Speaker 1: has done some very creepy marketing. Maybe you've seen during
Speaker 1: the MLB games there's just this girl standing there smiling.
Speaker 1: They paid her to do that. So I thought that
Speaker 1: marketing was genius and top level. When you're trying to
Speaker 1: promote a movie like this, the only thought I had
Speaker 1: when I saw that was either this movie is going
Speaker 1: to be amazing and they just went above and beyond
Speaker 1: it their marketing to get everybody interested in this movie,
Speaker 1: or the movie was kind of bad and they needed
Speaker 1: some kind of viral moment or gimmick to get people
Speaker 1: to go watch this movie. So by the end of
Speaker 1: this review, I will tell you which one it ended
Speaker 1: up being. But before I get into the full review,
Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of the Smile trailer. A
Speaker 1: patient in your God brutally in front of you. I
Speaker 1: need to find an explanation for what happened. I don't
Speaker 1: know twenty cases involving the nineteen victims of the direct line,
Speaker 1: linking them all together, he said, only nineteen. What is
Speaker 1: it that everybody else we've seen it is dead in
Speaker 1: your life? I've seen it too. The movie had my
Speaker 1: interest from the very first time I saw this trailer.
Speaker 1: It looked eerie, it looked creepy, and you pair that
Speaker 1: with the marketing. I was excited for it, but I
Speaker 1: was also hesitant because anytime there is a tactic like that,
Speaker 1: it's either going to be something I love or something
Speaker 1: I just hate. And what ended up happening with smile
Speaker 1: is I would lean more towards on the side of
Speaker 1: hating it. So what this movie is about, it's this
Speaker 1: character named Dr Rose Cotter played by Kevin Bacon's daughter,
Speaker 1: soci Bacon. First time director Parker Finn, So maybe that
Speaker 1: has a little bit to do with the overall feeling
Speaker 1: of this movie. But she witnesses this crazy, bizarre, traumatic
Speaker 1: incident at the very beginning of the movie, involving a patient.
Speaker 1: She works at this mental psychiatric facility as a therapist
Speaker 1: and trying to help all these people who come in
Speaker 1: with these unusual problems, and there is this patient who
Speaker 1: is trying to explain to her all of these things
Speaker 1: she can't explain happening in her life, involving some kind
Speaker 1: of a demonic presence. And after that interaction with that patient,
Speaker 1: Dr Carter as well starts having all of these frightening
Speaker 1: experiences and then is going throughout the entire movie trying
Speaker 1: to get some answers. And this movie had a very
Speaker 1: promising start. It had an eerie feel in the beginning
Speaker 1: from that opening scene. It was a little bit hard
Speaker 1: for me to watch. And I don't get scared by
Speaker 1: horror movies. I love horror movies. I love blood and guts,
Speaker 1: so that stuff doesn't really bother me at all. But
Speaker 1: I found myself early on being a little bit creeped out.
Speaker 1: I felt a little bit like I wanted to look
Speaker 1: away at certain points, but I was into it, and
Speaker 1: those first ten minutes really kind of got me hooked,
Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, this is about to
Speaker 1: be a really great movie. And then the movie really
Speaker 1: really dragged. And I don't know why. Horror movies just
Speaker 1: tend to really want to set the stage too much
Speaker 1: for these characters really getting into Dr Rosecotter's life in
Speaker 1: a relationship. But I just wanted more action. I wanted
Speaker 1: more of all of these demonic presences, all of these interactions,
Speaker 1: because that was the best part of the movie. And
Speaker 1: the sad thing is a lot of those were in
Speaker 1: the trailer. So Luckily I hadn't rewatched the trailer going
Speaker 1: into this movie. I was trying to forget it a
Speaker 1: little bit. But when I was going back and pulling
Speaker 1: a clip from it, they put all the best parts
Speaker 1: in the trailer, So if someone had just freshly watched
Speaker 1: that trailer, they really had the entire thing spoiled for them.
Speaker 1: Because that's what made the movie the most exciting, is
Speaker 1: when those things happened, and it was big and loud
Speaker 1: and kind of cheap jump scares, which is the real
Speaker 1: problem I had with it. The actual horror in this
Speaker 1: movie and the actual scary elements, they were all kind
Speaker 1: of cheap. It was all just kind of out of
Speaker 1: the corner of your eyes, something comes out, big, loud,
Speaker 1: jarring sound, and that was the scare. What was actually
Speaker 1: on screen wasn't really that scary or novel. So I
Speaker 1: really love movies that explore that paranormal, explore any kind
Speaker 1: of demonic presence. I find that stuff to be the
Speaker 1: most scary thing, and the stuff that really, you know,
Speaker 1: would give me a nightmare after And that's kind of
Speaker 1: the level I look for when I watch a horror movie.
Speaker 1: I want something that is going to give me nightmares,
Speaker 1: something that when I go home later I think about
Speaker 1: and when I go to sleep that night it's kind
Speaker 1: of lingering with me. But by about forty minutes in
Speaker 1: this movie, I considered leaving. I was unusually bored in
Speaker 1: a movie like this, and I didn't care enough about
Speaker 1: her character to figure out or want to figure or
Speaker 1: out what happens to her about forty minutes in. Already
Speaker 1: knew what was going to happen. I knew what the
Speaker 1: final showdown was going to be. I knew what the
Speaker 1: twist was going to be. I just had it all
Speaker 1: figured out, so I wanted to be tested a little
Speaker 1: bit more as a viewer in the movie just felt
Speaker 1: very generic. It was almost exactly like The Ring mixed
Speaker 1: with a little bit of Insidious. It was those two
Speaker 1: movies together, but very watered down. So I would dub
Speaker 1: this movie a diet horror movie if you are a
Speaker 1: big horror fan like I am, and you want something
Speaker 1: that's really gonna go there and make your stomach kind
Speaker 1: of queasy at certain points and be something that you
Speaker 1: want to tell your other friends who are also horror fans,
Speaker 1: to go run and watch. This isn't it. This is
Speaker 1: more if you aren't really a fan of horror movies,
Speaker 1: This is more probably your taste, because it's again just
Speaker 1: a lot of quick jump scares, nothing too scary. There
Speaker 1: were some pretty good vision Jules there towards the end
Speaker 1: that we're interesting, but again nothing so unusual that I
Speaker 1: haven't seen done before. And by the time it does
Speaker 1: get to that point in the movie, you're kind of
Speaker 1: just wanting it to end. Hitting that. To our remark,
Speaker 1: this movie should have never done that. Should have been
Speaker 1: under ninety minutes easily. I felt like there was probably
Speaker 1: just an episode worth of content here. It could have
Speaker 1: been a forty two minute black mirror episode maybe, but
Speaker 1: it didn't really warrant the entire runtime that we got
Speaker 1: out of it. Again, really great job promoting this movie.
Speaker 1: I think that's what movies have to do in this
Speaker 1: day and age, create some buzz around it. But in
Speaker 1: this case, it didn't really work out in its favor.
Speaker 1: I would lean more towards hating this movie, and if
Speaker 1: I had to rate it, I would give it a two,
Speaker 1: but since it had that marketing, I'll give him a
Speaker 1: point five for marketing. So for smile two point five
Speaker 1: out of five smiles. I think unless you are are
Speaker 1: really wanting to watch something in theaters with maybe some
Speaker 1: friends or your family that will scare everybody, but you
Speaker 1: don't really have the bar set that high. If you
Speaker 1: just need that thrill in theaters. If not, definitely wait
Speaker 1: until it's streaming and just kind of skip around through
Speaker 1: all the scary parts. Other than that, man, I really
Speaker 1: wanted to like this movie more, but it just didn't
Speaker 1: do it for me. It's time to head down to movie.
Speaker 1: I didn't think this would ever happen, and it is happening.
Speaker 1: Deadpool is officially coming into the m c U and
Speaker 1: we're getting Deadpool three. But not only that, Hugh Jackman
Speaker 1: is back as Wolverine. This is huge. This is one
Speaker 1: of the biggest pieces in Marvel news I've heard in
Speaker 1: a very long time, and one that I'm really excited for.
Speaker 1: I think once we saw what happened with Spider Man
Speaker 1: No Way Home, it kind of blew the doors off
Speaker 1: of everything. That was a moment in movie history I
Speaker 1: never thought could happen. And it was after seeing that
Speaker 1: movie I realized that anything is possible if there is
Speaker 1: money to be made. And in a world where we're
Speaker 1: trying to save movie theaters and bring back ticket sales
Speaker 1: as strong as possible, this is what you have to do.
Speaker 1: These are the links that studios are going to have
Speaker 1: to reach in order to get us all excited about.
Speaker 1: And this is the most excited I've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of em CU fans in a very long time, myself included.
Speaker 1: So let's start with this teaser that Ryan Reynolds released.
Speaker 1: Here he is talking about Deadpool three. We've been working
Speaker 1: very hard on the next Deadpool film for a good
Speaker 1: long while now. I've had to really search my soul
Speaker 1: on this one. His first appearance in the m C
Speaker 1: you obviously needs to feel special. We need to stay
Speaker 1: true to the character, find new depth motivation, meaning every
Speaker 1: Deadpool needs to stand out and stand apart. It's been
Speaker 1: an incredible challenge that has forced me to reach down
Speaker 1: deep inside and I I have nothing completely empty up here.
Speaker 1: But we did have one idea. Hey, Hugh, do you
Speaker 1: want to play Wolverine one more time? So this was
Speaker 1: a very Ryan Reynolds, a very Deadpool like announcement, and
Speaker 1: I love it. And why this is so important and
Speaker 1: why this is so noteworthy is Hugh Jackman said he
Speaker 1: was retired from playing Wolverine after the last movie Logan.
Speaker 1: And since this was such big news. I don't think
Speaker 1: this is a spoiler. I wouldn't classify it as a spoiler.
Speaker 1: But Wolverine dies at the end of that movie. That's
Speaker 1: what happens. That's why he said I'm retiring from Wolverine.
Speaker 1: We thought we would never see him again. And now
Speaker 1: the other major part of this is that Deadpool is
Speaker 1: coming into the m c U. And if that sounds confusing,
Speaker 1: let's break it down for a little bit. So Deadpool
Speaker 1: was owned by Marvel, of course, but the movie rights
Speaker 1: went to twentieth Century Fox. Disney recently purchased twentieth Century
Speaker 1: Fox and it's now just twentieth Century Studios. They completely
Speaker 1: in the liminated of the Fox part, so now they
Speaker 1: own Deadpool the Fantastic Four. So now all of those
Speaker 1: characters from The X Men and Deadpool and the Fantastic
Speaker 1: Four can now come over into Disney's m c U,
Speaker 1: which is where everything else exists, where all the Phases exist,
Speaker 1: where all the Avengers movies exist. It's now in the
Speaker 1: biggest Marvel world possible. And this raises a lot of questions.
Speaker 1: Is the new Deadpool going to be R rated? Yes,
Speaker 1: And that is a big reason to the success of
Speaker 1: that movie is that it didn't have the restrictions of
Speaker 1: the m c U of being as family friendly. You
Speaker 1: could show more violence. So that is why I love
Speaker 1: the first Deadpool so much, because you can use naughty
Speaker 1: language and as kind of squeaky clean. Sometimes the ms
Speaker 1: to you feels it's kind of like a breath of
Speaker 1: fresh air to get a movie like that. I love
Speaker 1: Deadpool one. Deadpool two. I thought it wasn't quite a
Speaker 1: step ahead to elevating the franchise, but I don't think
Speaker 1: it was a step back. Maybe just as good, just
Speaker 1: a little bit not as good as Deadpool one. But
Speaker 1: now as they come over into the m c U,
Speaker 1: there's a lot more room to play around with of
Speaker 1: where is it going to fit exactly in the timeline
Speaker 1: which the movie is coming out on September SI, So
Speaker 1: time wise, Deadpool three would come out at the beginning
Speaker 1: of Phase six, followed closely by The Fantastic Four, which
Speaker 1: comes out in November of that same year. So we're
Speaker 1: starting to get a big crossover from the Fox x
Speaker 1: Men universe into the m c U. So I'm really
Speaker 1: curious to where all this is going to fit into
Speaker 1: the big picture as we get closer and closer to
Speaker 1: those next Avengers movies. And the other question it brings
Speaker 1: up is what happened to Wolverine dying and how does
Speaker 1: he exist in this movie? And they also posted a
Speaker 1: follow up video answering that question. How is Wolverine alive?
Speaker 1: Off to Logan, Logan takes place in totally separate thing.
Speaker 1: Logan died in Logan, not touching that what actually happens
Speaker 1: in our film is these two. And then they just
Speaker 1: play that song and re enact some scenes and dialogue
Speaker 1: and again very dead pull fashion, so it looks like
Speaker 1: in this movie, Logan hasn't happened yet and he is
Speaker 1: still alive, or at least that's just what they're saying
Speaker 1: to calm all of our nerd brains. But I think
Speaker 1: that works, and especially because this is now the multiverse saga,
Speaker 1: where anybody can come back at any point in life,
Speaker 1: at any point in any different timeline, and everybody can
Speaker 1: just exist in a movie and we all accept it
Speaker 1: because these are all characters we've loved for a very
Speaker 1: long time. And just by looking at the poster that
Speaker 1: they released for this alone gets me excited because Wolverine
Speaker 1: is such a great character. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is
Speaker 1: very underappreciated. I think the X Men movies themselves don't
Speaker 1: get enough credit that they deserve of really laying down
Speaker 1: the groundwork in the early two thousands. Yes, they also
Speaker 1: made a lot of not so great X Men movies,
Speaker 1: but if we didn't have Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in
Speaker 1: the early two thousands, we wouldn't really have the groundwork
Speaker 1: laid for Robert Downey Jr. To be Iron Man in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight all the way through the twenty tens,
Speaker 1: Like that is how much Hugh Jackman carried those movies.
Speaker 1: And then you pair Hugh Jackman with his real life friend,
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds, and I think that's just going to be
Speaker 1: a very fun time on the screen of seeing that
Speaker 1: off screen friendship really shine on the big screen with
Speaker 1: them being two very dynamic characters, which Ryan Reynolds plays
Speaker 1: Deadpool perfectly. I feel like that is his iconic role,
Speaker 1: and it's also Hugh Jackman's iconic role. And it's not
Speaker 1: like we haven't seen the two of them together on
Speaker 1: screen as these characters before. In the very not so
Speaker 1: great Wolverine Origin story, we did see a very weird
Speaker 1: version of Deadpool with his mouth sown shut, and that
Speaker 1: was probably one of the weakest introductions of a superhero
Speaker 1: character ever and one that has taken that long for
Speaker 1: him to kind of come back from. He really redeemed
Speaker 1: himself with Deadpool. But I think that movie left a
Speaker 1: lot of people with a bad taste in their mouths,
Speaker 1: so they're also coming for some redemption on that movie.
Speaker 1: And then we also have to remember what happened at
Speaker 1: the end of Deadpool two and him being able to
Speaker 1: time travel so that easily plays into the multiverse, and
Speaker 1: him discovering Wolverine, so maybe they can even go back
Speaker 1: even further and erase that awkward moment of the first
Speaker 1: time they met. So I think we should feel good
Speaker 1: about this, especially because it provides us with some familiarity
Speaker 1: going into this new phase of the m c U
Speaker 1: with a lot of new characters being introduced. It brings
Speaker 1: back some people that we already know and love, and
Speaker 1: it sets up for some very cool moments. I would
Speaker 1: completely freak out if we ever had a scene with Deadpool, Wolverine,
Speaker 1: and Spider Man together throwing the Incredible Hulk like that
Speaker 1: is kind of my dream. I remember playing the arcade
Speaker 1: game back in the day called Marvel versus Capcom, and
Speaker 1: I would love to see a scene from that video
Speaker 1: game happen in a movie. I would lose my mind,
Speaker 1: just like I did in No Way Home. But again,
Speaker 1: that is Deadpool three coming out on September six. I
Speaker 1: guess I just gotta hope I make it to live
Speaker 1: that long. This makes edition of I Do want to
Speaker 1: get to a little bit more of movie news that
Speaker 1: has come across the old movie mi desk here in
Speaker 1: the past week. Also, Marvel related Black Panther Waconda Forever
Speaker 1: has released their run time of two hours and forty
Speaker 1: one minutes, making it one of the longest movies ever
Speaker 1: in the m c U. These are the top five
Speaker 1: m c U run times as of now. At number
Speaker 1: five is Captain America Civil War at two hours and
Speaker 1: twenty seven minutes. Number four is Spider Man No Way
Speaker 1: Home with two hours and twenty eight minutes. At number
Speaker 1: three is Avengers Infinity War with two hours and twenty
Speaker 1: nine minutes, and at number two is The Eternals with
Speaker 1: two hours and thirty six minutes, So that one currently
Speaker 1: has the record as the longest running m c U
Speaker 1: run time. That's not an Avengers movie, because at number
Speaker 1: one is Avengers Endgame at three hours and one minute
Speaker 1: with no post credit scene, and I think, out of
Speaker 1: respect of that movie, they should never make a movie
Speaker 1: three hours again. I can't see another movie warrantying that
Speaker 1: run time unless they do something amazing with the upcoming
Speaker 1: Avengers movies. I am actually currently rewatching all of the
Speaker 1: Marvel movies. I I don't know really why I started this.
Speaker 1: I've watched them in all the different ways that you
Speaker 1: can imagine. And one of the questions I actually get
Speaker 1: a lot from people who have never seen a marm
Speaker 1: A movie is how should I watch them for the
Speaker 1: first time. I always recommend watching them in the order
Speaker 1: that they were released, the old school way, the way
Speaker 1: we all did, because I think that is the way
Speaker 1: I enjoyed them the most. Also, a lot of things
Speaker 1: change between all of the years. The c g I
Speaker 1: gets better, and then if you watch them and in
Speaker 1: a different order, they change ages. So I say, if
Speaker 1: you're watching them for the very first time, just start
Speaker 1: from two thousand and eight iron Man all the way
Speaker 1: up until now, and it'll be like that roller coaster
Speaker 1: that we all went through. All the post credit scenes
Speaker 1: will make sense. So that is referred to as the
Speaker 1: release order. But if you google MCU movies in chronological order,
Speaker 1: you'll get the list of how they took place in
Speaker 1: the timeline. So instead of starting with Iron Man, you
Speaker 1: would start with Captain America the First Avenger, but then
Speaker 1: you would go hop to Captain Marvel, which came out
Speaker 1: way later. That's why I don't recommend watching it that way.
Speaker 1: I think to go from Captain America the First Avenger
Speaker 1: to Captain Marvel, it just doesn't feel right to me.
Speaker 1: But the order I'm currently watching them in is just
Speaker 1: lumping all of the solo movies together. So I started
Speaker 1: by rewatching all of the Avengers movies, which man rewatching
Speaker 1: Endgame kind of brought back some great memories for me.
Speaker 1: And then honestly, I'm just kind of jumping around of
Speaker 1: what I want to watch on Disney Plus, and I
Speaker 1: think eventually I'll do an episode of re ranking all
Speaker 1: of the Marvel movies. But I watched all the ant
Speaker 1: Man's again, I watched all the Iron Man's and have
Speaker 1: some very different opinions on that entire series now, and
Speaker 1: I'm currently rewatching all of the Captain America's, so this
Speaker 1: may be a new order I recommend to people of
Speaker 1: watching all of the group movies together, and I decided
Speaker 1: to watch them that way because m c U movies
Speaker 1: are the only ones were watching all of these crazy orders. Normally,
Speaker 1: when movies come out you watch part one, Part two,
Speaker 1: part three are for etcetera. So I wanted to see
Speaker 1: just how all of the trilogies or all of the
Speaker 1: two partners work together, and how those kind of stand
Speaker 1: on their own, so I can really rate and evaluate
Speaker 1: those as a whole, and how much each of those
Speaker 1: superhero stories really get told. So I'll update you later
Speaker 1: once I get through all of these movies, which I
Speaker 1: still have a ways to go, and I'll do an
Speaker 1: episode on that. But all right, that will bring us
Speaker 1: to the end of another episode. But before I hop
Speaker 1: out of here, I gotta get my listeners shout out
Speaker 1: of the week. That's all you have to do is
Speaker 1: tweet me or d m me at Mike Destro on Instagram,
Speaker 1: or send me an email movie Mike d at gmail

Speaker 1: am shouting out Jenna Day, who tagged me in her
Speaker 1: Instagram story listening to the Rating Films episode when they
Speaker 1: say the title of the movie in the movie, Jenna said,
Speaker 1: had to share this episode because I have the same
Speaker 1: excitement about this as my distro. She continued with saying,
Speaker 1: if you watched the movie with me where this happens,
Speaker 1: you've heard me yell. They said it in a movie.
Speaker 1: Not mentioned in that episode was where the Crawdads sing.
Speaker 1: So shout out to you Jenna for listening and posting
Speaker 1: about that episode. And if you listen to this week's
