1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mix movie Podcast. I

00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: am your host movie Mike. Today I am joined by

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: my co host and wife, Kelsey. How are you great?

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: And we're gonna be talking about books that you think

5
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: should be turned into movies, which I am curious to

6
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: see your list. In the movie review, will be talking

7
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: about Vengeance, which is a new movie by bj Novak,

8
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: which you said is one of your favorite day of

9
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: the entire year. Yes, I did bold statement. I don't

10
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: know if I still stand by it. We'll see. We'll

11
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: see when we get to the review, and then in

12
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: the trailer park we'll talk about the new Chazam movie

13
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: coming from d C later this year. Appreciate you for

14
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: listening every single week, for being subscribed. Movie crew, you

15
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: already know what this is. Let's talk movies. In a

16
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: world where everyone and their mother has a podcast. One

17
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never

18
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: before in a movie podcast. A man with so much

19
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking AUDIMTV Who's glasses

20
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: from the Nashville Podcast Networking Movie Mi Movie Podcast. So

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: about a month ago, we did a review of Where

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: the craw Dat saying and you said that that movie

23
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: was actually better than the book. And you read a

24
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: lot of books. How many books do you think you've

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: read so far this year? Let everybody know I can

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: tell you exactly how many. It is one and my

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: goal is that is a lot of books you can

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: probably read if you tried really hard. How quickly could

29
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: you finish a book that's fast for me to complete? Opposite,

30
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: I've probably read half a book a year. I started

31
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: a book over vacation and I am about sixty done,

32
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: still haven't picked it back up, and then I'm probably

33
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna hop to another book, because that's kind of how

34
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: I read books, that is how you read books. So

35
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: since you've read so many, we thought and had that

36
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: idea last time that you should come up with the

37
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: list of books that you think would be great movies.

38
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: I think there's only one of these, maybe in development,

39
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: but all these seem like they would be great movies.

40
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: So what is first on your list? First? Is the

41
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: one that actually is in development. It is Beneath a

42
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan. And I'll just read the

43
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: snopsis for all of these, but this one says Pino

44
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: Lela wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis.

45
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: He's a normal Italian teenager, obsessed with music, food, and girls,

46
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family

47
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs. Pino joins

48
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: an underground railroad, helping Jews escape over the Alps and

49
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior.

50
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: In an attempt to protect him, Pino's parents forced him

51
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: to enlist as a German soldier, a move they think

52
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: will keep him out of combat. But after Pino is injured,

53
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: he has recruited at the tender age of eighteen to

54
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: become the personal driver for Adolf Hitler's left hand in Italy,

55
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: General Hans Layers, one of the Third Rites, most mysterious

56
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: and powerful commanders. Now with the opportunity to spire for

57
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino enders the

58
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by fighting

59
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna

60
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: and for the life he dreams that will one day share.

61
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: Sounds pretty intense, it's true story, and the author went

62
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: to Italy and like met with Pino and walked through

63
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: all of the places where the story takes place, and

64
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: got his account, and I think there's only he even

65
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: says in the author's note, there's like a few things

66
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: like details that Pino can't remember. So Mark Sullivan did

67
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: the research filled him into the best of his ability.

68
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: But it's a true story, like overall, in all of

69
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: the major events of Pino's life. What makes you think

70
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: that this would make a good movie. What cinematic quality

71
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: did it have when you were reading it? I mean,

72
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: it's got everything. It's just got like emotion. I don't

73
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: know how to describe, like how good it was. Like

74
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: this is what kicked off my love of like reading

75
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: World War two books earlier this year, I love a

76
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: World War two movie. It is and I think just

77
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: knowing like that it's a true story. And obviously, like

78
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: most war movies are, they're based on the war, which

79
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: is a factual true story, but this one being so

80
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: like specific about one person um and so interesting of

81
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: how he kind of infiltrated and was able to get

82
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: inside and get inside information. I always find any time

83
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: a movie depicts Hitler, I find it very fascinating. He

84
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: was a terrible human and it seems like so long

85
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: ago that I don't really have an image of it

86
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: in my head, and seeing it on film, it just

87
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: adds like a really sinister quality to a movie, whether

88
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: it be like Glorious Bastards, it's just really weird to

89
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: see and it's such an intense character to portray that

90
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,119
Speaker 1: I do think this sounds like a really good movie,

91
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: and it is in development now. I haven't seen anything

92
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: pushed along in like four or five years. Tom Holland

93
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: is said to star in this movie. I haven't seen

94
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: that he's still going to. I think after about three

95
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: or four years of a movie getting pushed and pushed

96
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: of being made, he probably won't be anymore. He would

97
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: be he would be really so good in it, like

98
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: that's I read the book picturing him as Pino and

99
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: so like now I have Tom Holland in my head.

100
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: How old is the character in the book? Does it say, yeah,

101
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: he was a normal Italian teenager Tom Holland still playing

102
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: Spider Man. He could, Yeah, he was injured and then

103
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: at the age of eighteen he was the personal driver,

104
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: so he could still pull that off. Hopefully he's still

105
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: attached to the project, because this does sound like it

106
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: could be a really good movie. And he is really

107
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: kind of leaning into that dramatic stage of his career

108
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: where I don't really just associate Tom Hollng with Spider Man,

109
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: like I love him as Spider Man and he's a

110
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: great Avenger, but he's done other movies that are action based,

111
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: that are drama. Base was It wasn't Cherry. He wasn't cherry.

112
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: Was Cherry that he was in? Yeah, And he shows

113
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: that he has some range, especially in The Devil all

114
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: the time I didn't watch some One. Well, he's very

115
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: like dramatic and intense in that he can show that

116
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: he can play an American accent. He can do really

117
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: a lot of things early in his career. So this

118
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: almost sounds like the right director was attached to it

119
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: if the story was closely followed. What the book does?

120
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this could be like an Oscar contender. It

121
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: sounds like I would love to see it on screen.

122
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: All right, what do you have next? I have a

123
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: book called We're Switching Gears are going to like a drama. Also,

124
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: I should add the only things I really have read

125
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: lately or like I go back and forth between like

126
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: a World were two book and a thriller this year.

127
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: That's just like my genre with a couple memoirs biographies,

128
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: so we're onto a drama, which is interesting going back

129
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: to that that you really love reading about World War Two,

130
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: but you don't like war movies. I don't like the

131
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: gory nous of them, which is typically what war movies.

132
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: I like Nineteen seventeen, it was a great movie. Um

133
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: hacks All Ridge was lid little too bloody for me.

134
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: Didn't watch the trailer. Very a lot of bloodshed in

135
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: that movie. So yeah, I just can't handle like the gory,

136
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: like limbs everywhere that but just like stresses me out. Yeah,

137
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: I like the stressfulness of a war movie, but reading

138
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: I can dissociate, Like the there's not the gory nous

139
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: as much in a book. And it sounds like with

140
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: Beneath the Scarlet Sky it's a little more character based.

141
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: Let's it happens during World War Two, but it's not

142
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: like in the Battles all that. So yeah, that sounds

143
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: like something I would really want to see. But next movie, Okay.

144
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: So with the Push by Ashley Audrain and the synopsis

145
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: is blythe Connor is determined that she will be the warm,

146
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: comforting mother to her new baby, Violet, that she herself

147
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: never had. But in the thick of motherhood's exhausting early days,

148
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: Blythe becomes convinced that something is wrong with her daughter.

149
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: She doesn't behave like most children do. Or is it

150
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: all in Blythe's head? Her husband Fox says she's imagining things.

151
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: The more Fox dismisses her fears, the more Blythe begins

152
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: to question her own sanity, and the more we begin

153
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: to question Blythe is telling us about her life as well.

154
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: Then their son Sam is born, and with him life

155
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: has the most blissful connection she'd always imagined with her child.

156
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: Even Violet seems to love her little brother. But when

157
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: life as they know it is changed in an instant,

158
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: the devastating fallout forces Blythe to face the truth. Interesting.

159
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: So what makes you think this one would be a

160
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: good movie? Oh, it's such a good thriller and the

161
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: twist is so good. It's very Her daughter is pretty sinister,

162
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: not not great child. It gives me like kind of

163
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: gone girl all vibes, like in the creepy thriller kind

164
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: of way. So are you thinking of somebody like an

165
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: Amy Adams in this role? I think Amy Adams would

166
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: be good. She does a good thriller, like I could

167
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: see her in that. We were watching her and No

168
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: Clonal Animals recently. Yeah, I think she would be really

169
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: good in it. What about the husband in this book?

170
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: What kind of character is he dismisses like all of

171
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: the wife's concerns, so like, not very attentive to her concerns,

172
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: and she's like, everything's fine. Who could you see playing

173
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: the husband? Give me Amy Adams and Ryan Gosling together.

174
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,119
Speaker 1: That sounds like a movie I would want to see

175
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Gosling over Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, Gosling just does a

176
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: better drama. He does, And I recently posted that I

177
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: find I like Ryan Gosling more than I like Ryan Reynolds.

178
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: I think the only reason I compare them to is

179
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: because they're both named Ryan. They're both very big movie stars,

180
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: and they're both Canadian. That is true, and they play

181
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: very different character is in very different movies. But I

182
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: feel like Ryan Gosling has more of the range where

183
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't really dip that much into comedy, but when

184
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: it comes into his dramatic roles, he can do just

185
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: just straight on drama. He can do the action and

186
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: then if he really wants to, he can do a

187
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: movie like The Good Guys where he's a little bit comedy,

188
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of action. I feel like Ryan Reynolds

189
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: does the same character all the time. I mean Ryan

190
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: Gosling and gray Man. It was drama and like a

191
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: witty comedy, like a sarcastic, like a dry humor, which

192
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: I think is his knee, Whereas like Ryan Reynolds goes

193
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: for like free Guy, which is meant to get the

194
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: l O ls, which he does really well he does.

195
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: I just feel like he does it again and again.

196
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: But if you're so good at something, why would you

197
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: deny everybody that of what people love you for? Yeah,

198
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds is I mean he's the funniest person on

199
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: like when he and Blake Lively troll each other on

200
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: social media. I live for it. Which one do you

201
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: think is more attractive? Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling. Oh,

202
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: it was a really hard question for me. If I

203
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: had to pick one, I would go with Ryan Gosling.

204
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: I think I go Gosling. I think about like the

205
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: scenes and like crazy stupid love the Notebook. Yeah, hands down.

206
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Gosling didn't have to think about that one. Too hard. Yeah,

207
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: in this story, with this book into a movie, if

208
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: you put Ryan Gosling and Amy Adams together, I think

209
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good pairing. Yeah. Back to the book.

210
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: Read it. You will gasp so good and I will

211
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: say this, Actually, I think I read this one early

212
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: one and it's stuck with me in my head. That's

213
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: not even I've read one like this year. What do

214
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: you have next on your list? I have a memoir

215
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: called Tell Me Everything by Erica Krause. So the synopsis

216
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: Erica Krause has one of those faces I don't know

217
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: why I'm telling you this people say, spilling confessions and

218
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: follow two thousand two, Erica accepts a new contract job

219
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: investigating lawsuits as a private investigator. The role seems perfect

220
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: for she quickly realizes she has no idea what she's

221
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: doing that A lawyer named Grayson assigns her to investigate

222
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: a sexual assault a college student who was attacked by

223
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: football players and recruits at a party a year earlier.

224
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: Erica knows she should turn the assignment down. Her own

225
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: history with sexual violence makes it all too personal, but

226
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: she takes the job anyway, inspired by Grayson's conviction that

227
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: he could help change things forever, and maybe she could too.

228
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: Over the next five years, Erica learns everything she can

229
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: about p I technique, tracking down witnesses, and investigating a

230
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: culture of sexual assault and harassment and grained in the

231
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: university's football program. That is, the investigation grows into a

232
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: national scandal. In a historic civil rights case, Erica finds

233
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: herself increasingly consumed in the case and her life both

234
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: implode at the same time. Erica must figure out how

235
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: to help win the case without losing herself. So a memoire, Yes,

236
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: so a true story? Correct? Why do you think this

237
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: one would be a good movie? It gives me Aaron

238
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: Brockovitch vibes. So I'm gonna I'm gonna nominate Julia Roberts

239
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: to play Erica. Oh that's an interesting cast thing there,

240
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: one of your favorite movies of it. So it's like

241
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: court movie. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of follows what

242
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Brockovich like. She wasn't a lawyer. She gets this

243
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: job and then starts finding all of the cases Aaron

244
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: Brockovich of, like the medical problems associated with the water there.

245
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: She ends up helping when the case same here, Eric

246
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: is not a lawyer, she's not even a p I,

247
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: but she has one of those one of those faces

248
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: where people just kind of start telling her things they're

249
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: comfortable with her, and she starts using that to her

250
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: advantage and becomes a p I and helps take down

251
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: this program. Which I don't think that's a spoiler. It's

252
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: a memoir and you can read about the case, but

253
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: it's how she does it along the way, and like

254
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: all the obstacles that they had to get to and

255
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: how it changed things for college campuses. Some interesting things

256
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: I see from the synopsis in this book of how

257
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: it would be a good movie. First of all, it

258
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: takes place in two thousand and two, which I think

259
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: people are looking at two thousand's culture right now. If

260
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: you find movies and stories too. I think that's kind

261
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: of a popular thing of just people reliving a little

262
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: bit of nostalgia. And I feel like the stuff from

263
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: the two thousands is slowly creeping back over the nineties stuff.

264
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: And then I mean, in my head, I just have

265
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: Julia Roberts now, and she's not doing a whole lot

266
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: of movies. I think he has like one Netflix movie

267
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: coming out pretty soon. She has a movie with George

268
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: Clooney coming out in October. Okay, but aside from that,

269
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: she takes maybe one two movies every five years. So

270
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: if you could attach this is somebody like her, I

271
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: could see this movie getting made. And I haven't really

272
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: seen a whole lot of good courtroom style dramas or

273
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: just legal dramas that something like this would be perfect for.

274
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: I think to like we saw Bombshell a couple of

275
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: years ago, you didn't love the way that it was portrayed,

276
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: you didn't think it was the best story of like

277
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: the Me Too movement Fox News, I think this one

278
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: could be done really well and add to that genre

279
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: of starting to really live sent to women and their

280
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: stories and their experiences. So I think if this one

281
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: was well done, but Julia Roberts in it, and I

282
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be great. Yeah, Bombshell was an interesting

283
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: movie because what was the actual story of it. I

284
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: loved it was the way in the style of that

285
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: movie that I felt like it didn't do the story

286
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: justice and also thought Margot Robbie was going to be

287
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: a bigger part in that movie. She deserved more screen

288
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: time in that movie. You fell asleep during the movie.

289
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: I did I'll admit to that. And it was also

290
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: a weird thing to be entertained by, Like it covers

291
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: such an awful thing that happened, and you're kind of

292
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: rating it by like how entertaining it is, which it

293
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't be have like this weird entertainment value. It's just like,

294
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't know really that it's the entertainment value, but

295
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: like the portrayal of the story, does it keep you

296
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: engaged and do the story justice? So I don't know

297
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: if it's as much the entertainment as well as I

298
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: don't think it did the story justice. Yeah, I just

299
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: felt weird saying that I didn't like that movie like this.

300
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: I wasn't discrediting like what it was about or anything

301
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: like that. You didn't like what was done. I don't

302
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: think that discredits it. I just feel like when you

303
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: have such a powerful like rights to a movie to

304
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: make something like that, it could have been better agreed.

305
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: So that's how I feel about Bombshell. But yeah, I

306
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: think this one also sounds like a pretty good one.

307
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: You're doing really good here, thank you. What do you

308
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: have next for us? I have Breathless by Amy McCullough,

309
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: and it is journalist Cecily Wong is in over her head.

310
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: She's come to manislew, the eighth highest peak in the world,

311
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: to interview internationally famous mountaineer Charles McVeigh on the last

312
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: leg of a record breaking series of summits. She's given

313
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: up everything for this story, her boyfriend, her life savings,

314
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: the piece she's made with her climbing failures in the past.

315
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: But it's a career making opportunity. It could finally put

316
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: her life back on track. But when one climber dies,

317
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: and when everyone else assumes is a freak accident, she

318
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: fears their expedition is in danger, and by the time

319
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: a second climber dies, it's too late to turn back.

320
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: Stranded on a mountain in one of the most remote

321
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: regions of the world, she'll have to battle more than

322
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: the elements and a herring fight for survival against a

323
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: killer who was picking them off one by one. This

324
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: sounds good. I'm into this one. It was a really

325
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: good book. So it's a survival type movie. Yeah, on

326
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: a mountain. I mean, that sounds like a documentary that

327
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: I would be into. But the fact that it's fictional,

328
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I can only imagine the places that this

329
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: movie could go of trying to survive while somebody's trying

330
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: to kill you and then just the harsh environment. Who

331
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: could you see playing the lead in this movie. I'm

332
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: gonna go with Jamie Chung. I think she's super talented.

333
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: I haven't seen her in a big movie like this

334
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: in a while, and I think she could just do

335
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: like the action intensity like I think she could play

336
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: it so well. Is there a lot of physical things

337
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: that happened throughout the movie or throughout the book and

338
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: they're literally climbing like the what was it the eighth

339
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: highest mountain in the world. Sounds pretty intense. Yeah, so

340
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: I would I would go Jamie Chung. I love her.

341
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: Out of both of us, who do you think could

342
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: survive on a mountain for longer? Okay, well, I have actually,

343
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: fun fact, climbed a fourteen er in Colorado, which is

344
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: a fourteen thousand the mountain, which I know it's not Everest,

345
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: but um that was an experience without any training and

346
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: without any acclamation and the only thing you had to

347
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: eat was a cliff bar and one leader of v

348
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 1: on and it made it to the top and the

349
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: top mynad is what's called a Class three scramble in

350
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: which you were on your hands and knees at the

351
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: top of the mountain. And I'm in like hocas, not

352
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: even hiking boots. I am in hoca running shoes. It

353
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: was not my choice. This was part of a trip

354
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: that I went on and someone else planned that, and

355
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: I didn't really understand what we were getting ourselves into. Her.

356
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: I probably would have said, hey, guys, I'm not going

357
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: to do that. My favorite part of that entire story

358
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: is you guys left behind one of the members of

359
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: the group. It's not great because it was so intense.

360
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: We're like, we'll go on without you. She was like, hey, guys,

361
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn around. We should have sent someone back

362
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: with her. I should have gone back with her. But

363
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: we were all like, okay. She was like, I can

364
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: make it down by myself. No, she had like altitude sickness.

365
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,239
Speaker 1: It was. It was not a good experience. No one

366
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: come at me for that. But I have climbed a

367
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: fourteen mountain. So with your experience here, you're saying you

368
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: would also be qualified to play the role in this movie. Yeah,

369
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: cast me. There we go casting Kelsey. All right, what

370
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: do you have next on your list. I have one

371
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: that I just recently read, kind of a sci fi

372
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: type book. It's called The Measure by Nikki Irlick, and

373
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: the synopsis says, it seems like any other day you

374
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: wake up, pour a cup of coffee, and head out.

375
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: But today, when you open your front door, waiting for

376
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: you as a small wooden box. This box holds your

377
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: fate inside, the answer to the exact number of years

378
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: you will live. From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every

379
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant,

380
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did

381
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is their

382
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 1: truth to what they promise? As society comes together and

383
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice. Do they

384
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: wish to know how long they'll live? And if so,

385
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: what will they do with that knowledge? Now? This is

386
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: one of the coolest books you told me about of

387
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: all the books you've read. It was amazing, and I

388
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: think what sets this apart is the trope of what

389
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: are you going to do with your life? If you

390
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: knew you were going to die? Can be overdone, It

391
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: can be dramatic, it's like kind of gives me. It

392
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: reminds me of like timgrawl live like you were dying,

393
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: but in a way where I think people are just like,

394
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to live in this fantasy world, but this

395
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: one people are faced with. They know when they're going

396
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: to die, they don't know the exact day, and they

397
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: don't know how they know in how many years, And

398
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: so it makes people wonder like do I change what

399
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing with my life? Do I keep on going?

400
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: And some people don't even open their box. So it's

401
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: a string inside, and then scientists create like this predictor

402
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 1: that tells you, based on the length of your string,

403
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: how long you have. So some people are like, I

404
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: don't want to know. I don't want to know. I

405
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: just want to live life. And when it's my time,

406
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: it's my time. And these stories are woven together. There's

407
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: about eight characters. I think that it focuses on and

408
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: the ways in which the stories weave in and out.

409
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: I loved that it reminded me kind of like the

410
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: TV show A Million Little Things, where like it's about

411
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: a group of friends, but yeah, the side by aspect,

412
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like dystopian sci Fi. It was just

413
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: this idea of like, could this happen in the society.

414
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: There's so many things screaming at me that would make

415
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: this a great movie. I think it has like that

416
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: black Mirror type feel of like it being something that

417
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: could actually happen in our lifetime. It has the I

418
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: think what a great movie does is bring back a

419
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: question on everybody. And I think the marketing on this

420
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 1: movie would be easy of like, well, what would you

421
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: do in this situation? Would you open your box? Would

422
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: you want to know? For you? Would you want to know?

423
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: Would you open the box? Open the box? I think

424
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: I would too. Like I think I even now somebody said,

425
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: would you want to know when you're dying? I think

426
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: I would want to know? Yeah? Am I like wasting

427
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: my time working eight to five? If it's already like

428
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: said and determined and I could find out, I would

429
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: want to know, and I think I would change my

430
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: life accordingly. I feel like now sometimes I do things,

431
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: maybe not every day, maybe not even a week, but

432
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: knowing that it might not be I might not have

433
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: another chance to do this. I think most recently, what

434
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: I've kind of adopted is I try to tell people

435
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: when I'm thinking about them, especially like family. I had

436
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: a really sad I thought the other day. I even

437
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: made a note of this of like, someday I'll go

438
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: to like text my mom and she won't like respond,

439
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: she won't like answer the phone, and I think about

440
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: that if just like well, sometimes I put off calling her,

441
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: sometimes I don't text her. Knowing that I might not

442
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: always have that chance makes me do it more. So

443
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: I think, along the same lines of the plot of

444
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: this movie, I would want to know just to make

445
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: sure I'm doing everything in my life to not have

446
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: any regrets and know when I should be living life

447
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: a little more because I don't have as much time

448
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: left or that I'm good, I can. I have time

449
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: to do it later. But I think I would want

450
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: to know it doesn't really freak me out. We're all

451
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna die, Like that's just that's just fact, and we're

452
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: not like guaranteed. And I also, I think, coming from

453
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: a perspective of and I've said this on the podcast before,

454
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: i lost my dad when I was two and a half,

455
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: and so I've always grown up like knowing nothing's guaranteed.

456
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: Like I've always been very like tell people you love them,

457
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: all the time. Like if you're thinking about someone cinema text,

458
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: She's like, hey, he was thinking about you. Love you

459
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: Call your parents, call your family, call your friends. So

460
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: I've always grown up with that mindset. Um. Yeah, And

461
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: I think another really interesting aspect of this book was

462
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: what they started to do in society with the boxes.

463
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: They started to kind of make these restrictions like if

464
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: you had a short string, you couldn't do this kind

465
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: of job. Oh yeah, that brings in a whole other Yeah,

466
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: that was the other interesting. It wasn't just like the

467
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: heart strings part, but it was the like how does

468
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: where does where? Does it stop? With the rules? Yes,

469
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: and it's actually as a political figure in it, and

470
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of factored in. So I thought that was

471
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: really interesting. It reminds me of like how entrance companies

472
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: won't give some people in trance if you have a

473
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: pre existing condition. Kind of gave me that vibe. So anyways,

474
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: read this book. I think it's awesome. It's a quick,

475
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: easy read. The chapters are pretty short, go back and

476
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: forth between the characters, and I think kind of initially

477
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: is like over a year. I think it's divide into spring, summer, fall,

478
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: and Winter and everyone gets the box from their twenty

479
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: two interested on your twenty second birthday. After this initial

480
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: day of everyone getting the boxes, who could you see

481
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: in this movie? So I think this would be like

482
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: a really good opportunity for like an ensemble cast of

483
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: like because it's a lot of a lot of characters intertwined.

484
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cast Sandra Bullock because I love her. Oh,

485
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: I like Sandra Bullock, you know what, you know, he's

486
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: been a good trio lately, Sandy be Brad Pitt, and

487
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: Channing Tatum. Put them all in here, bringing back that

488
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: cru They are really great. They are great together. We

489
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: have seen them in two movies this year, in the

490
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: Last City and another one which we can't say because

491
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: it would be a spoiler. But we've seen them in

492
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: two movies. Yes, there's been another movie. They were great

493
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: in The Lost City. I think put all three of

494
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: them in and then I'm trying to think, like Sprinkle

495
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: in you know, it hasn't been in anything in a while,

496
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: to my knowledge, Let's put Dawn Cheatle in it. Don

497
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: Cheatle is great in an ensemble and an underrated actor.

498
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: He's in so many movies. I feel like maybe sometimes

499
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: if you sat down to make a list of all

500
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: the movies he's been in, you'd forget. But yes, he

501
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: is so good and everything that he is in. Yeah,

502
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: I love don Cheatle. Let's put him in. How about

503
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: could I throw in an Aubrey Plaza? Did she fit anywhere? Yes?

504
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: I was just thinking. I was like, we need like

505
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: another like younger female pup plause in it. Love It,

506
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: She's another one. I feel like you love. I love

507
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: all of her movies. I feel like she takes on

508
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: roles that she really cares about, that the story is different,

509
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: and that she whenever she promotes a movie which is weird,

510
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: she like really, I feel at least like she really

511
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: believes in it, and that takes a lot from an actor.

512
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: I feel like some actors just keep working for the

513
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: sake of, you know, keeping the work, because it is

514
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: hard to keep getting work in Hollywood. But I feel

515
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: like she's been very selective in the movie she picks,

516
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: and a lot of them are just things that automatically

517
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: appeal to me. I really liked her movie Black Bear,

518
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: which it's kind of like an indie horror type movie

519
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: but has a little bit more of a stylistic approach

520
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: to it. And then I am wanting to go see

521
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: your new movie Emily the Criminal, So I think she

522
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: would be great in this, And I have two more.

523
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna suggest jim A Chan from Eternals and Crazy

524
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: Rich Asians. I think she's wildly talented, she would be

525
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: excellent in this. And then my wild card, Selena Gomez.

526
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we were talking about her the other day

527
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: that I forgot how big of a pop star she

528
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: was and how famous she was. But we've really been

529
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: enjoying her and only Murders in the Building and the

530
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: only other movie I can think about that wasn't a

531
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: great movie. But I liked her in with spring Breakers

532
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: with James Breakup, which I think a lot of people

533
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: hated that movie. But she is a great actress. Nonetheless, Listen,

534
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: Selena is a great actress. Her makeup company's great, rare

535
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: beauty Shoutout's funny on TikTok. She's funny on TikTok. She

536
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: talks about mental health. I think she's so well rounded,

537
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: like she has gone through the waves of like child

538
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: fame and still come out like standing and like she

539
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: has like this persona now, like she doesn't really care

540
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: what anybody else says. I want to be best friends.

541
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: So they're just two hours from Texas. She sounds awesome.

542
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: All right, what do you have? How many more do

543
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: you have? One? Last one? All right? What do you have? Okay?

544
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: This is called The Last Flight about Julie Clark. I

545
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: also read this one last year, but it's stuck with me.

546
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: It's a great one. Synopsis. Clara Cook has a perfect life,

547
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: married to the scion of a political dynasty, with the

548
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: Manhattan townhouse and the staff of ten. Her surroundings are elegant,

549
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: her days flawlessly choreographed, and her future auspicious. But behind

550
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: closed doors, nothing is quite as it seems. That perfect

551
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: husband has a temper that burns bright, and he's not

552
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: above using his staff to track clears every move. What

553
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't know is that Claire has worked for months

554
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: on a plan to vanish, a plan that takes her

555
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: to the airport, poised to run from it all, but

556
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: a chance meeting in the airport bar brings her together

557
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: with a woman whose circumstances seem equally dire. Together, they

558
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: make a last minute decision. The two women switched tickets,

559
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: with Claire taking Eva's flight to Oakland and Eva traveling

560
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: to Puerto Rico is clear. They believe the swap will

561
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: give each of them the head start they need to

562
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: begin again somewhere far away. But when the flight to

563
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico crashes, Claire realizes it's no longer a head start,

564
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: but a new life, cut off, out of options. With

565
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: the news of her death about to explode the media,

566
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: Claire will assume Eva's identity and along with it, the

567
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: secrets Eva fought so hard to keep hidden. Now I

568
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: remember this one. You tell me about it, all right,

569
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: Let's get into the casting first. On this Who do

570
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: you think could be the main Emma Stone? Some of

571
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: these I'm just picking like my favorite people. She's so talented.

572
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: Emma Stone is phenomenal La La Land, crazy, stupid, love

573
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: easy a. I love Emma Stone. She started range Spider Man. Duhn.

574
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: Ever get that, I see like a Dakota Johnson kind

575
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: of in that same We're so into Dakota Johnson and

576
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: movies lately, kind of in that same category of every

577
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: last movie we've seen her in I've really enjoyed. We

578
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: just watched that Apple Plus movie Cha cha real smooth,

579
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: and I feel like a lot of people associator so

580
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: much with the fifty Shades of Gray movies. I feel

581
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: like she has that kind of hanging over her whenever

582
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: she takes on another role, and it's hard being like

583
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: a part of a movie that is so defining, kind

584
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: of like the same way people still associate Robert Pattinson

585
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: with Twilight and you go down all the book adaptations.

586
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: But I feel like she has really broke out of

587
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: that mold in the last five years that she really

588
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: doesn't get the recognition she deserves. And just by hearing

589
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: you talk about this book again, I feel like she

590
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: would be good in that. What about this book made

591
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: you feel like it would be a good movie. It's

592
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: such like an interesting story, like these two women trying

593
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: to escape their lives. They're gonna switch, but then something

594
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: terrible happens to one of them and the other is like,

595
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: oh no, Like is this my fault? Like I was

596
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: supposed to be on the flight, but like now that

597
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: she's gone, like I just have a free life, Like

598
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: when don't even switching lives anymore, I'm just starting over.

599
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: After you read this book, is there like a jaw

600
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: drop moment of like, oh, I wasn't expecting that, Yeah,

601
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: because I feel like just from what you read of

602
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: the synopsis, I feel and maybe you can lend a

603
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: little more light to this, but it seems like an

604
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: almost easy plug and play. Like I could see somebody

605
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: just wanting to buy the rights of this movie and

606
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: all they have to do is take the story as

607
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: it is and just adapted, adapted, Like that's like changes

608
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: like a lot of times in a book, you know,

609
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: they kind of have to put in like one more

610
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: like jaw dropping like movie type twist, like I think

611
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: of the one that comes to mind is My Sister's

612
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: Keeper by Jodi Picoult, which um sure a lot of

613
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,959
Speaker 1: people have seen. But anyways, they like completely switched the

614
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: ending from the book to the movie, and I didn't

615
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: necessarily feel like that was they didn't have to do that,

616
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: but they did to kind of give it more of

617
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: like a type moment. But I don't even think this

618
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: book needs anything. It just it sounds cinematic enough that good.

619
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: All you have to do is like you can't screw

620
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: that movie up. And I feel if you putting the

621
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: right but the wrong director, just follow book, I think

622
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: you'll be good. I feel like the sign of a

623
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: good book to movie is not having to change things

624
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: to make it more like film, ask but the trouble

625
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: being what you take out to make it fit into

626
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: a two hour or two and a half hour movie.

627
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: And that sounds like there's already a lot of story there,

628
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: and based upon what you said how you felt after

629
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: you finished the book, I think that's a good one.

630
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: If you could only have one of these books turned

631
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: into a movie, which one would you pick? I think

632
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: I have mine kill. I'm gonna take off beneath the

633
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: Scarlet Sky because I'm holding I hope that that one

634
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: that was still could happen. I'm gonna got the measure taking.

635
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: That's the one I was going to pick of all these.

636
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: I feel like that is what speaks to me plot wise,

637
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: and I would love to see that play out and

638
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: just be able to visualize it all more. But I

639
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: think that one would make the best one, The measure

640
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: of the push. Oh, I was gonna go to the

641
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: last flight next. I mean, they're all good, That's why

642
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: I picked them all. That's why I only picked six

643
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: out of like the forty I've read this year, and

644
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: then however many read last year. So if anybody wants

645
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: to follow you along on good Reads? You cool with that? Yeah,

646
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna put I don't remember use your name, but

647
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: we have a link and we'll put it in the

648
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: podcast notes. I think my user name is honestly just

649
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: like Kelsey Rodriguez or something, but that's probably a pretty

650
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: common name. Still put the exact link. I think you

651
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: have to request to follow me, but I will approve this.

652
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: So there you go. And next up, we're going to

653
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: talk about the movie Vengeance, and we'll do that after this.

654
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the movie Vengeance. What you

655
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: said is one of your favorites out of the entire year.

656
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,239
Speaker 1: I said that immediately upon watching. I don't know if

657
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: I still stand by that. All right, So we'll play

658
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of the trailer and then come back

659
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: with our spoiler free review. I have a story, okay,

660
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: I in West Texas where this family just lost their

661
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: daughter to an opiate overdo Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

662
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's not someone else close to him, but

663
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: he flew to Texas for it. Uh. Yes, it was

664
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: a girl I hooked up with a few times. Her

665
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: family thought that we weren't more serious than I do.

666
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: If I've heard so much values I've I've heard, Yeah,

667
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: I really and just didn't die. She was murdered. What

668
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: the two of us are one venture? I feel like

669
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: Vengeance is a hidden gem of a movie. It was

670
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: one that I was curious about because I like PJ.

671
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: Novak mostly known from the office. He also had a

672
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: small part in Inglorious Bastards, and he was in The

673
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: Mini Project, which you love. He was only in a

674
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: couple episodes, but he was in it. He was in

675
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: I do love The Mini Project. I love Mindy and

676
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: b J. They're great and then they dated off and

677
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: on and they're just like BFFs now but in my

678
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: heart like they're infre But he wrote, directed, and started

679
00:32:54,880 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: this movie, which is about this journalist slash podcaster who

680
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: goes from New York City to Texas to investigate this

681
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: death of this woman that he really just hooked up

682
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: with and her family thinks that they were her boyfriend,

683
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: and he goes kind of looking for a new story,

684
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: looking for a new podcast concept, and then decides to

685
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,239
Speaker 1: turn his investigation of her death into a podcast. So

686
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: the movie is a bit of a hidden gem. And

687
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: why I think that is because it is a lower

688
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: budget movie. I think it only has made three millions

689
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: so far. But upon watching it, it felt like a

690
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: very refreshing movie, even though it doesn't do anything completely crazy.

691
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: It's also it's not heartwarming, so like when we say,

692
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: when we say refreshing, it's not like you're gonna leave

693
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: like wow, that made me feel so good inside. Yeah,

694
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: because it's a dark comedy, there is some obviously it's

695
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: dealing with death, so it's not like you said, yeah,

696
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: like a very it's gonna uplift me type movie. But

697
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: it does such a great job at creating these characters,

698
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: which in the movie he is, you know, recording and

699
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: doing this podcast and trying to find unique characters. That's

700
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: why he thinks that there's a story there. It's the

701
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: family of the girl and they live in a small

702
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: town in West Texas, which we are both from Texas.

703
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 1: And I always take it very personally when a movie

704
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: portrays Texas because I feel like there are a lot

705
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: of stereotypes associated with people who live there. But I

706
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: thought it did a pretty good representation of what like

707
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: a really small rural town in Texas is like where yes,

708
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: there is a lot of that country aspect to it.

709
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: But we're not like riding around on horses everywhere, which

710
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it just gets portrayed in a movie.

711
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: But a lot of what this family does is I

712
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: feel pretty true to a small Texas town, especially their

713
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: love for water Burger. I think this is the first

714
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: time I've seen water Burger in a movie portrayed like

715
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: this really ever, it's usually like in the discussion of

716
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,479
Speaker 1: best burgers, it's like in and out five Guys, But

717
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: in this movie, it really explains why people from Texas

718
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: love water burger, which that was funny. You're a water

719
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: burger guy, not a water burger guy. Yeah, it's what

720
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: a burger. You say water burger is when you've just

721
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: said it's almost like water burger. Yeah, that's how I

722
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: say it, Like you're drinking water burger. Yeah. I mean

723
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: I say the same thing, but I'm just pointing out

724
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: that you're all You're all, yeah, it's what a burger.

725
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: I had two favorite things about this movie. One, the

726
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: self aware self deprecation cameo from John Mayer is kind

727
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: of like a womanizer BJ's friend in New York, and

728
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: I thought that was very just like tongue in cheek

729
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: because that's also kind of like b J is I

730
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: feel like reputation around like New York in l A.

731
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: So I thought that was funny that at the beginning

732
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: they're just like going through their phones. They're like, oh,

733
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: this girl like I don't remember the names, somebody like Stephanie,

734
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: like tender, like that sort of thing. I thought that

735
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: was funny. The second, thank you, b J. Novac for

736
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: casting the Grahama from Friday Night as the grandma in

737
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: this movie. She was Grandma Saracen. If you watch Friday

738
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: Night Lights, you know where um I'm at her. That's

739
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: my claim to fame in this movie. So Sweet matter

740
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: in Austin at like a TV festival a couple of

741
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: years ago. I thought she was fabulous as a grandma. Again,

742
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: she's just like the like quick witted, like sharp, doesn't

743
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: mince her words. Thought she was so good in this

744
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: thought Dove Cameron was really good as one of the sisters.

745
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: Thought it was great. So maybe I do still stand

746
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: by I don't know. And then you have Ashton Kutcher

747
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: in this movie. He hasn't been in anything in a while,

748
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: and he plays a character that I don't think I've

749
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: really ever seen him play before. Plays a record producer,

750
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: and he has like a very kind of cool, ominous persona.

751
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: You can't really figure him out throughout the movie. And

752
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: that's also what this movie did a really good job at.

753
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: As the main character is trying to figure out what happened,

754
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 1: you are too, So it's kind of like that murder

755
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: mystery thriller type. There's some danger here and there. I

756
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: think why it feels like a even more of a

757
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: hidden gym movie, and one that's maybe I guess harder

758
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: to recommend to people is it's kind of like a

759
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: slice of life movie with a little bit more of

760
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: dark darkness to it. There's just like it's just like

761
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: this piece of this family dealing with this death, and

762
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 1: the added element is him trying to make a podcast

763
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: out of it. But I thought the acting and it

764
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: was pretty good, and for a lower budget movie and

765
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: for mostly unknown actors on the family side, I thought

766
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: that dynamic kind of added a little bit more to it.

767
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: I think lower budget movies have an advantage and that

768
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: you don't have to pick a list actors and you

769
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: end up getting some really fresh talent and you get

770
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: some people that you wouldn't expect to be so good, Like,

771
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: you don't have to because it's already a low budget

772
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: kind of indie. You're not looking to sell it. I mean,

773
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: had Ashton Kuttry, but you're not looking to sell it

774
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: by the names on the poster. You're looking to sell

775
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: it by the story and the way that people portray it.

776
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: So I thought I thought it gave actors a great

777
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: chance to be like, oh wow, these people are really talented.

778
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: And I think with a movie like this, you have

779
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: to have a really good story to get it made.

780
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: It's hard to get any movie made, but for a

781
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: lower budget movie like this to get picked up and

782
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: distributed the way it has been, it's something different. So

783
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: I think that's what I was talking about. That's why

784
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: I find it refreshing because I didn't really know exactly

785
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: what we were getting into when we watched this movie.

786
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: I didn't even watch a trailer, And I like that

787
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: part of it, like just going into it having not

788
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: the highest expectations, but just knowing you're going to watch

789
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: something unlike anything you've seen in a while. As long

790
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: as it's not scary. I'm like, and we don't have

791
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: any plans and I'm like, cool, let's go see a movie,

792
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 1: and that was kind of one of the only things

793
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: out there. You go. So, if you had to rate Vengeance,

794
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: what would you give it? Being one of your favorites

795
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: so far? Four point to five out of five honey

796
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: better chicken biscuits from a burger? What a burger? I

797
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: would just like, I would give it four out of

798
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: five podcasts. I feel like this movie since it is

799
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 1: lower budget, since it has kind of an indie field

800
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: to it. I feel like when I rank anything above

801
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: a four, it's a life changing movie. And it's also

802
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: a movie that had maybe like Black Panther. Yeah, Like

803
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: it's a movie that's gonna stick with me for a

804
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: very long time. That's why I feel this movie kind

805
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: of hits that threshold of four, which I really enjoyed it.

806
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: I would really like to see another movie from bj Novak,

807
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: but it's not necessarily one I'm going to keep revisiting.

808
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you for bringing the topic today.

809
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: You're welcome. I did a lot of prep for this.

810
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: You crush it with your list. Anything else you would

811
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: like to say? Um? Everyone, feel free to follow me

812

Speaker 1: on good Reads see what I'm reading. Got a lot

813
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: of good ones on deck. I think, hope. Let me

814
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: know if I should pursue a career as like an

815
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: audiobook narrator. I don't know. I felt like I did

816
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: pretty good reading those synopsis. I thought kind of reminded

817
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: me of like when you had read aloud in school

818
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: and you get that like formal voice. Oh yeah, he

819
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: must not trip over the words. You crushed it. Thank you, um,

820
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: everyone enjoy. Let me know if you read any of

821
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: those books too, let me know if I inspire you

822
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: to start reading. There we go. All right, thank you

823
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: for joining me. You're welcome. Good Bye, It's Todd. Head

824
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: down to movie Paul. All right, let's talk about Shazam

825
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: Fury of the Gods, which is coming out on December one.

826
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be one of the

827
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: most pivotal movies for d C. Who is I don't know,

828
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 1: low key going under a crisis right now after putting

829
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: an axe to the Bad Girl movie. The fate is

830
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 1: up in the air for what's going on with the Flash.

831
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: But they have two movies coming out this year before this.

832
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: We'll get Black Adam with the Rock on October one,

833
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: but I think Shazam two has a really good chance

834
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: to kind of just I don't know if it's going

835
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: to reinvent you see or get people excited about him again.

836
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: I just think it's has the chance to be a

837
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: win for them, because I really enjoyed Sham one, and

838
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: I'll talk about more why and why I think this

839
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: movie is going to be a step in the right

840
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: direction for them before we get into Sham two. Here's

841
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: just a little bit of the trailer. I don't deserve

842
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: these powers. And I'm being honest, Like, what am I

843
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: even contributing. Oh there's already a superhero with the red

844
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: suit with a lightning bolt on it. Aquaman is literally

845
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: huge and so manly, and Batman it's so cool and

846
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm just me. So you have Zachary Levi back at Shazam,

847
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: and what I think the first movie got right is

848
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 1: it made DC movies like fun again. And I think

849
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: that's what the problem is with some of the DC

850
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: movies and why they haven't performed as well. And I

851
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: feel like this was the most Marvel like DC movie,

852
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: which is kind of unfair to compare them, But what

853
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 1: Marvel does so well is bringing really bright, fun characters

854
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: that everybody can enjoy. And I think what d C

855
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: has been known for and how they kind of feel

856
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: to me is they're all very moody movies. They're very

857
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: just dark in the way that they look. They all

858
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: kind of look like two thousands metal music videos. And

859
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: some of this could be because of Zack Snyder, but

860
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: just every DC movie I watch it has like this

861
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: grainy green look to it, a lot of just dark.

862
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: It feels very dramatic, and the characters are very like

863
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: almost regal, like to make it kind of stiff. And

864
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: that's why I don't always love everything they put out,

865
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: and why I kind of lean more towards always liking

866
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: Marvel movies because they are brighter, they are funner, and

867
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: they don't take themselves as seriously. I think when you

868
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: boil it down like that kind of what it feels like,

869
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: it feels like the DC movies take themselves very seriously,

870
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: but when it comes to Shazam, they kind of throw

871
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: that all out the window. And that's largely due to

872
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: what the character is. It's this kid who becomes Shazam,

873
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: and he is essentially this adult like hero figure, but

874
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: inside he is just a child. And in this sequel,

875
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: Shazam Fury of the Gods. It will continue the story

876
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: of this teenager named Billy, and he still has these

877
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: superpowers to where every time he says Shazam, he turns

878
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,919
Speaker 1: into the superhero alter ego Shazam, which is just fun

879
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: in itself. And in the first one, all of the

880
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: action is just very fun because it is from the

881
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: perspective of a teenager. And I think it's as close

882
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: as DC can get to what Marvel did with Tom

883
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: Holland as Spider Man. You have this character who is,

884
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, just discovering really how to use their powers,

885
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: really how to be a superhero. But the ad an

886
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: element here is he looks like a full adult man.

887
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: He is Zachary Levi, So unlike Tom Holland playing what

888
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: is a younger Spider Man, you have Zachary Levi doing

889
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: a really good job at portraying what a teenager is like.

890
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: And then you put them with some other people who

891
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: also have superpowers. And the first movie had a pretty

892
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: good villain. I feel like they may be getting a

893
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: little bit more ambitious and this one by adding some

894
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: villains to where that is the only thing and the

895
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: only reason I have a little bit of hesitation, and

896
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: after watching this trailer, is I wonder if they're like,

897
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: all right, we had some success with the first one,

898
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: let's at some more villains. And that is where DC

899
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: really tends to lose me. I feel like a lot

900
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: of their villains are, when it comes down to it,

901
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: kind of boring. I think they have a shot at

902
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 1: really having another hit on their hands, but I don't

903
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: know if it's going to be enough to change the

904
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: perception of d C, which I think is what they're

905
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 1: really trying to do. Maybe Black Animal Help coming out

906
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: just a couple of months before this, but I think

907
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: nothing else. It will be a pretty good day at

908
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: the box office for them and maybe continue at least

909
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: one of their franchises in the upward direction. But shas

910
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: Am to Fury of the Gods comes out on December one,

911
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,479
Speaker 1: which is a pretty ambitious time to put out a movie,

912
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: so we'll see how that plays out for them. That

913
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: this links edition of Movie bar and that's gonna do

914
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 1: it for this week's episode. But before I hop out

915
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: of here, I gotta give my listeners shout out who

916
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: I give to anyone who sends me a d M,

917
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: sends me an email at movie Mike d at gmail

918
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: dot com, and this one, I'm actually doing my shout

919
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: out to somebody I met over the weekend. I did

920
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: a couple of live events where I met some listeners

921
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: over the weekend, and it was cool getting to meet

922
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: people who said they listened to the podcast. I haven't

923
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: done a whole lot of live events since I've started

924
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: this podcast, so it was cool getting to put faces

925
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: to some of you who listen. So my listeners shout

926
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: out today is too Higgy. I met on Saturday night

927
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 1: who said he's a listener of the podcast. Cool getting

928
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: to meet and talk to you in person. It's always

929
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 1: just like interesting to me, and it feels weird because

930
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: I just sit and on microphone and I know you

931
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: guys exist. I see you online, tweeting me, sending me messages,

932
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: so I know you are real people. But taking that

933
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: a step further and actually meeting you in real life

934
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: makes it all just feel like I'm not just speaking

935
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: into a void or a black hole. So thanks, Higgy,

936
