00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie podcast. I

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: am your host. Movie Mike joined this week with Kelsey.

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: How are you?

4
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: I'm great?

5
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: Are you good? It is snowy at the time of

6
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: recording this episode, and I never opened the window in here,

7
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: and you're like, I want to see the snow.

8
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't even have curtains in here. You tacked

9
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: a blanket.

10
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: On the wall, a movie blanket, a.

11
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 2: Movie blanket to block out the light from when you're

12
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: doing videos. But if you're going to require my assistance

13
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: in recording and I can't be near my window by

14
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: my desk, I want the window open in here.

15
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: I kind of forgot there was a window, and then

16
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: we opened it up and we just see the snow falling.

17
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: It's kind of.

18
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: Nice, so peaceful.

00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, But we're gonna do our movies of the month

Speaker 1: watched a lot of things at home. So we'll get

00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: into what is the best and the worst. In the

Speaker 1: called Love me that I think is going to be

27
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: a movie maybe only I like, But we'll get into

28
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: all that. Thank you for being here, Thank you for

Speaker 1: And now let's talk movies from the Nashville podcast Networking

31
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: Movie Mike Movie Podcast. We watched so much in the

32
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: month of December, so let's kick it right off. What

33
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: was the best movie in your opinion in theaters or

34
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: at home?

35
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: Might go Baby Girl?

36
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: Really, Baby Girl?

37
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

38
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: Why did you like that movie so much?

39
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: Well?

40
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: One, we saw it at the Bellcourt, which is I

41
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: feel like seeing any movie there makes it infinitely better

42
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: because it's just got this like old time theater kind

43
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: of vibe, like they have curtains on the stage and

44
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: people respect the like no cell phones, no talking.

45
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: That is the only theater we go to, which we

46
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: only go to really to that one into Regal, but

47
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: nobody pulls out their cell phone ever. You never see it.

48
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: You don't even see really, people leave, I guess to

49
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, but I lit.

50
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: Their snacks, which I must say they do dollar popcorn

51
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: and drink refills and I take advantage of that every time.

52
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: Which when we go to that theater. It is a small,

53
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: independent theater. We always try to buy snacks there. I

54
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: know sometimes I take my own snacks when we go

55
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: to Regal, but it's like a big chain. We also

56
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: have the Yeah, I still get drinks and popcorn. I

57
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: don't really have anything I can eat there, But at

58
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: Bellcourt we always make it a point to support them

59
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: because that's how they make a lot of their money.

60
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: We are remembers now with the bell Court.

61
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: So if you go to a local theater, always buy snacks.

62
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: Was it also getting to see her afterwards that maybe

63
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: heighten it a little bit? Oh?

64
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah.

65
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: I can feel kind of the presence of her being

66
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: there afterwards and hearing her talk about it made me

67
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: enjoy it more. It's kind of like whenever they have

68
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: premieres at like film festivals and the person is actually there.

69
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: I think that's why sometimes those movies get really big

70
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: standing ovations that are like eleven minutes long, because there's

71
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: something about them being there. But I still think even

72
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: without her presence, I enjoyed that movie way more than

73
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: I was expecting.

74
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: To, as did I, which is why it's my best

75
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: in the month.

76
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: My best of the month for December. We saw a lot,

77
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: and I'll run through it more once we're all done

78
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: with both of our picks. I'm going to go with

79
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: a complete unknown.

80
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: Really good.

81
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: It was, I think because of my low expectations for

82
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: music biopicks right now that coming off of Elvis, which

83
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: was totally glossy and flashy and didn't really feel like

84
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: a traditional biopic it's very fantastical. This one was a

85
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: little bit more set in reality, and it also didn't

86
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: focus on his entire career, which I enjoyed. It was

87
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: pretty much how he got discovered, how his first album

88
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: didn't really work out well, and then all leading up

89
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: to whenever he went electric, so comes famous and then

90
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: totally wants to change what he's doing. So I think

91
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: it was the fact that it didn't try to cover

92
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: his entire life, which sometimes just feels like way too

93
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: much to fit into a two and a half hour movie.

94
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: I think that is why I ended up enjoying it more.

95
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: It was focused more on early leading up to one point,

96
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: so unlike most your additional biopics that are just their

97
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: entire life all trying to be into one movie, I

98
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: feel like it told a story better because it was like,

99
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: here's this guy just trying to get his music heard

100
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: by people, ends up changing a genre, bringing new life

101
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: into it, and then has this dilemma when he kind

102
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: of wants to step away from that a little bit.

103
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: And also, Timothy shallow May I thought did a really

104
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: good job as Bob Dylan, even though there are some

105
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: moments where you can tell, ah, that's Timothy Shallo May

106
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: being Timothy shallow May.

107
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were a few where like just his personality

108
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: came through, and I feel like that's hard to.

109
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: Do because I felt that too in Dune too, where

110
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: there is some intense moments, but then it's almost like

111
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: the way he speaks, where everybody in Dune speaks so

112
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: like almost theatrical and like old school, and they have

113
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: like this different dialect. Sometimes he just sounds like a

114
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: California I don't think he's from California, but it kind

115
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: of sounds like that Hollywood kid.

116
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: I laugh because I don't know if you've seen any

117
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: of the tweets about like when he and Kylie Jenner

118
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: first started dating, and but people like, why does everyone

119
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: just assume that Timothy Chalamea is just like astute Shakespearean

120
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: lover of literature, Like just because he's been in like

121
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: Little Women and other like intense serious movies, They're like,

122
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: he might not be as like Shakespearean intense as people

123
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: think he is.

124
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he is a theater kid, so he

125
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: has that aspect to him. But I think, like you

126
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: were saying, people were so surprised when he went on

127
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: college game day and knew a lot about football. It's

128
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: like he's like a mid twenties.

129
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: White dude on SNL Pete Davidson, And.

130
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: When you see him outside of his roles, he seems

131
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: like a normal dude. Like all the press he did

132
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: for this movie seemed like a normal dude.

133
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe his name too, just Timothy chela May.

134
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: It's true, it's a weird way to spell Timothy. It

135
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: already looks regal. Timothy chela May just rolls off the tongue.

136
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 1: It sounds like a very regal name. Like when he's fifty,

137
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna sound like, oh yeah, it's Timothy Chalomage in

138
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: the same way we look at Denzel Washington now has

139
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: that feel? What do you think about Edwin Norton looking

140
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: very much older?

141
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: I legit had to IMDb during the movie because I

142
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: was like, who is that? He looks so familiar, and

143
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: I was like, excuse me, former mister incredible Holk.

144
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they made him look really old. He's only fifty five.

145
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: They made him look very what's the word I was

146
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: about to say.

147
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: Daddy, but that's not what I meant, like dad, like Dad, core, Dad, Core,

148
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: thank you. I'm even more grandpa core. He looked very old,

149
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: but I thought he was.

150
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: He was good in that. I could have seen somebody

151
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: else in that role. Yeah, But I think overall the

152
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: movie taught me about Bob Dylan.

153
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: When I knew nothing about Bob Dylan.

154
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: I didn't really know anything about it his story as

155
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: far as how he got to start his whole relationship

156
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: with the other singer, Johan Baiaz in this movie, I

157
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: didn't really know who she wants. To be honest. There

158
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: are about four Bob Dylan songs that I like, and

159
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: after watching this movie, I did go back and listen

160
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: to him. I enjoy them, but it wasn't the same

161
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: way whenever I went to go see Bohemian Rhapsody that

162
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: I got very into Queen's music. I don't think I'll

163
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: have that same trajectory after watching this movie.

164
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: I think I liked the Wonka soundtrack more.

165
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did listen to that. More. We listened to

166
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan on the way home from watching this movie.

167
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: You cute it up and we haven't really dipped back

168
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: into it since, so I think that's about where I am.

169
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's great, it's just not my musical taste.

170
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: Like I respect him as an artist and think he's

171
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: very talented, just isn't what I want to listen to.

172
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: I also enjoyed that it did show him being a dick.

173
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: It did. Yeah, it wasn't glossy like Bob Dylan's the best.

174
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 2: It was kind of like, oh, we kind of screwed

175
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: some people over and like left behind the people who

176
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: helped him get a start.

177
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: And most times when biopics come out where the person

178
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: is still alive. That is the reason I don't like it,

179
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: because not that he he still gave some approval on

180
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: this movie than a producer or anything on it, but

181
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: obviously they wanted to put it out with his blessing,

182
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: and he watched it before and approved of it. He

183
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: thought Timothy Shalam did a good job portraying him. But

184
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: it was the fact that they still left in some

185
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: of the things that didn't paint him out to be

186
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: a saint, which they always try to paint whoever they're

187
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: making a bio pick out to be the perfect person,

188
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: like they.

189
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: Didn't realize her.

190
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: Because if you look at what Elvis is versus what

191
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: the movie Priscilla is, two totally different movies, they very

192
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: different sides of the thing. They don't show anything bad

193
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: about Elvis, so I enjoyed that aspect of it. I

194
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: thought also, the music on its own was really good

195
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: in the movie, with Timothy Shallame singing, and for a

196
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: movie that had a lot of music throughout, not even

197
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan music, but other music, it did a really

198
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: good job at holding my attention, because sometimes when you

199
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: put music in a movie that people don't enjoy, it's like, oh, man,

200
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna bore people.

201
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

202
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't bored, but yeah, that's why my best of

203
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: the month goes to a complete unknown. I stand by

204
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: my four point five out of five. So now moving

205
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: on to the worst of the month, What is the

206
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: worst movie you saw?

207
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry it's gonna hurt your feelings. With Sonic three,

208
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: Oh don't do it. I was so bored.

209
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna give my full review later in this episode.

210
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: I thought Sonic two was so funny when we saw it,

211
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: I was expecting to get so you did like that

212
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: one I did. Ten minutes into this one phone came out.

213
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: I was like, brighten its down, scroll in Twitter, bored

214
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: out of my mind.

215
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I still loved it. I won't say

216
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: too much else about it. I give it my thoughts

217
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: to my review, but I will say it's harder for

218
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: people I think who weren't a fan of the video game,

219
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: which you haven't played any video games? Am I correct?

220
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 2: That's not true. Frogger Okay, that skateboard no snowboarding game SSX,

221
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: it's a good game. And then I had a game

222
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: Boy and I played Mary Kay Nashley games until I

223
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 2: stuck the cartridge and rock and broke it.

224
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: You played Sims No No, No, Sims.

225
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: Roller Coaster, Tycoon, that's what it was, Tycoon, School, Tycoon,

226
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: and then School.

227
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: You hadn't played Super Mario, but we have played Mario

228
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: Kart together. Yes, showed you had to play that on

229
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: the switch, and I got pretty good at it because

230
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: also going into the Super Mario Brothers movie. You didn't

231
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: really connect with any of the references from the video games, correct.

232
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: So I almost feel like I was like the because

233
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: I'm kind of like tail end of millennial, and I

234
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: feel like Mario Sonic were like early nineties, yeah, which

235
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 2: I mean, you're ninety one, but I was born in

236
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: ninety four. I'm the oldest. I didn't have older siblings,

237
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 2: so it's like I dictated the interest, and I was

238
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: an only child for twelve years, so it was just

239
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: my interest. That's true, Polly Pocket and Barbie Dolls.

240
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: Because my older brother and sister born in the eighties,

241
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: so I was exposed to a lot of things that

242
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: they grew up with. And I just like he Man.

243
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: He Man really wasn't popular when I was a kid,

244
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: but I know it more because my brother was super

245
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: into he Man. Even same thing with Ninja Turtles that

246
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: was more in the late eighties, and I just kind

247
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: of adapted it from the early nineties.

248
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 2: I picked up my mom's interest, so I was watching

249
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 2: Friends from day one. They both came out in ninety four,

250
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: so I was like eight months old and I was

251
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 2: already watching Friends.

252
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: The same thing with video games, like my brother had

253
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: a Super Nintendo, so then I played the old Super Nintendo.

254
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: Also the fact that we were broke. I feel when

255
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: you are broke, you get the technology later. So when

256
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: I was, you know, five years old, I was still

257
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: using old technology from like the late eighties because it

258
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: was cheaper and we had it. You kind of stick

259
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: with that. So it's like we didn't get the other

260
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: things until much later. It's like it comes out, it's

261
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: new to everybody, they get it, and then we get

262
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: it once it comes down in price. So there was

263
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: that aspect of it too. But what else did you

264
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: mean about this movie?

265
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: I can't give any spoilers.

266
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey as a whole.

267
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 2: You did not like, didn't love it.

268
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: Well, whenever they come out they are going to come

269
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: out with Sonic four. I guess I'll go watch it alone. Sad,

270
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: all right? For the best, My worst of December was

271
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 1: Y two K. Yeah, and it's because I had not

272
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: high expectations for it, but I thought it was gonna

273
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: be different.

274
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: I thought it was gonna be funnier and less bloody.

275
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: Which for the first twenty minutes I thought it was

276
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: pretty funny before it got to before it became a

277
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: slasher fit. Yeah, before it went into horror mode, I

278
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: thought the overall dynamic between the two best friends was funny.

279
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: There's a lot of good jokes in there. I thought

280
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: the dynamic was good. And then it just went into

281
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: full slasher mode and I feel like it kind of

282
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: lost its aura, which it was supposed to kind of

283
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: be a nostalgic movie based in nineteen ninety nine. Right

284
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: at New Year's Eve. Technology takes over.

285
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: If but like it's almost as if the technology were

286
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 2: Transformers that just wanted to murder everyone. Yeah, I like

287
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: super Killer Transformers.

288
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought it was gonna be more of things

289
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: and not working and not so much they turned into

290
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: killer robots.

291
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

292
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: And then all of the gore in it was very

293
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: very gory, like B movie level gore where it was

294
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: cheap gore and there there's a time and place for that.

295
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: I enjoyed some B level horror movies like that. Like

296
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: I was big into Trauma where it's all about like

297
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: people getting body parts ripped off and there's like blood

298
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: squirting out and it's like over the top. It's a

299
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: little different than like a Jason movie.

300
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 2: I want to see them less. It's ungraz anatomy.

301
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's yeah, it's it's different than like

302
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: a Michael Myers or Jason movie where it's scary. This

303
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: is more campy and over the top, where you're not

304
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: necessarily frightened by it. It's just shocking. We'll run through

305
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: all the movies we saw in December. We went to

306
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: the theater a lot. Like we said, White two K

307
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: was the first thing. I give it a three out

308
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: of five, which is still a fair score.

309
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: It's higher than i'd give it.

310
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: What would you give it? I still by the end

311
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: of it and that third act I found some redeeming qualities.

312
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: It was just like that middle thirty minutes or forty

313
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: minutes or so, and the movie's only ninety.

314
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, the middle thirty is the third

315
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: of it.

316
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the middle thirty, first thirty, you're good, last thirty,

317
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: you're good. It's that middle thirty. So two thirds of

318
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: it are good. Three out of five. Carry On, which

319
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: is now like the biggest Netflix movie of all time. Yes,

320
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: I gave a three point five out of five. I

321
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: enjoyed more that it was a big Netflix movie that

322
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: I thought was entertaining and that a lot of people

323
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: watched and talked about. I think that is important. We

324
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: need movies that anybody can watch and have opinion about

325
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: it and it makes a splash.

326
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: I love Jason Bateman.

327
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: I thought he people were saying that they couldn't see

328
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: him as a villain. I thought he was a good villain.

329
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: He has like a great like villain voice because a

330
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: lot of it he's just like talking through the year piece.

331
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: I think he's pretty versatile when it comes to playing

332
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: like the funny.

333
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: Gu and watched Ozar. Yeah, not a nice guy in that.

334
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: I found him very believable as a villain. Now where

335
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: some of the plot lines believable.

336
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: Plot line was not believable, but he as a villain

337
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: was believable.

338
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: And I think that's why some people get upset with

339
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: this movie, because yes, it is ridiculous.

340
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: Guys, a movie is not always supposed to be believable. Also,

341
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: have you looked outside of the world. There's things that

342
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: happen every day that I'm like, are we living in

343
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: a simulation? What is believable anymore?

344
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah? I every now and then like a ridiculous movie

345
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: like this where it could never happen in the real world.

346
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: But it's a fun chase. It's a fun ride, lots

347
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: of action, and you kind of escape reality for a

348
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: little bit. Even though it is based in reality, it

349
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: just feels like this is never gonna happen. Let's just

350
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: let's just ride it out.

351
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: That's what a movie is.

352
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought it did a fantastic job. We also

353
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: watched The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, which was a movie

354
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: that my sister wanted to watch her home for Christmas.

355
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: She literally fell as twenty minutes in. She was the

356
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: one who picked it out.

357
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: She was like, ah, I saw a trailer for that,

358
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: I want to watch that. Twenty minutes in.

359
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: She only woke up when it stopped working and she

360
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: had to fix their mote and she went back to sleep.

361
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: But I gave that one. Uh, I mean, I rated

362
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: it less than y two k, but it's not my worst.

363
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: I gave it a two point five out of five.

364
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: It wasn't terrible. I just don't know that we were

365
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: the audience.

366
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't think.

367
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: My mom took my Mimi to see it, and Mimi

368
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: loved it in theaters.

369
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: That's probably more the audience.

370
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: The older Mimi wants a heartwarming story like it's.

371
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: One of those movies where it wasn't like you said,

372
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't for us. It wasn't bad. I just didn't really.

373
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be funnier.

374
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't a comedy.

375
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was gonna have more comedy. For

376
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: some reason, we also, well, I guess you didn't go

377
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: see this one. I went to see.

378
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: And you haven't stopped singing it.

379
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: Since it's what William Dafoe's character says in the trailer.

380
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I didn't care to see that one.

381
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna like this one more.

382
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: You also went the day after we got home from traveling,

383
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: and I was like, leave mebe in my pajamas in

384
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: the house.

385
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: The movie was very slow, pretty long, and it takes

386
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: place like one hundred years ago, so they speak very.

387
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: Weird, sounds like all of my least favorite things in

388
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 2: one film.

389
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: And that was the hard part for me. Maybe I'm

390
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: just too uncultured, but I couldn't get I struggle with

391
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: period pieces, and whenever they talk like this for so

392
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: long and just go into so much dialogue that I

393
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: feel adds up to nothing, I lose interest because they're

394
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: just going on and on and saying all these words,

395
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: and at this point I need subtitles, not because I

396
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: can't hear, but because I don't understand them. And so

397
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: it goes into a lot of exposition of what is

398
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: going on in this town, and then once it actually

399
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: gets to the horror elements, I'm a little bit bored

400
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: by then. So there was so little action and it's

401
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: essentially a throuple. It's like this woman and then this vampire,

402
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: and the vampires trying to hook up with a woman,

403
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: but the woman's with his new dude in Twilight. Yeah, Twilight,

404
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: but it.

405
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: Took sorry describing the flood of Twilight.

406
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: So it is a remake, and the horror elements once

407
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: it actually gets going are pretty good, but it's very

408
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: old school monster movie. I was just expecting a little

409
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: bit more. Willem Dafoe was the best part of the

410
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: entire movie, just because No, But aside from that, I

411
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: wanted to love it, and I gave it a three

412
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: point five out of five. A complete unknown, which we

413
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: talked about Sonic three, which I'll get into more later,

414
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: Baby Girl. I gave a four out of five Juror

415
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: number two, which we watched on Max directed by Clint Eastwood.

416
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: Movies started out great. It is about this dude who

417
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: gets called into jury duty and then realizes he might

418
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: have a connection to the crime. Yeah, and premise was good.

419
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 2: It lacked a little action, and yes it was more

420
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 2: like an exposit expository position. Yeah, but what you described

421
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: as like expository, I think I think that's word.

422
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: It just could have gone so many better places than

423
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: it did. And I had this big idea of what

424
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: it was going to turn into, what it was going

425
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: to become, what we're going to learn about the case,

426
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: and it just kind of like fell apart.

427
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 2: Expository a sword expository got inted to explain or describe something.

428
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: But Nicholas Holt was also in that. He was in Nostu.

429
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 2: Yes, we also watched the six Triple eight. Yes, did

430
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 2: you have that on your list?

431
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: I did. I was going I was going down my list.

432
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: You talk about it.

433
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: It was the first all black female regimen in the

434
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: army and they were tasked with sorting like seventeen million

435
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 2: pieces of male that were backlogged during World War Two,

436
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: and it was a ton of male, seventeen million pieces,

437
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 2: like warehouses full of male airplane hangers.

438
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, hangers.

439
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: It was hangers full. They were like, is it just

440
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: this one? They were like, no, it's every hangar surrounding this.

441
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: And they gave them six months to do it, and

442
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: they did it in ninety days. It's wild. The only

443
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: problem I had with that movie, it's directed by Tyler Perry,

444
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: is it looks too glossy. It looks too nice. I

445
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: like my period pieces, especially in World War two, to

446
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: feel like World War two. But I get that Tyler

447
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: Perry wants to make modern looking movies. It just didn't

448
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: feel right to me the way it looked. I like

449
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: it to look grittier. I know the story is supposed

450
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: to be more uplifting and inspiring, and it's supposed to

451
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: teach you about these women, but if it would have

452
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: just had like a different color grade on it a little,

453
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: there were just moments that I realized that it wasn't

454
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: really cold there and they were just building on a

455
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: day where yeah, they're just here. This was a call time,

456
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: and Kerry Washington was there and they hit called action

457
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: and they did the scene. I like those movies to

458
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: feel with a little bit more production value, especially with

459
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: the war scenes, which felt a little empty to me.

460
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: But aside from that, the story was great, acting was good.

461
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: It just looked too glossy for my liking of a

462
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: war piece movie. That's fair and that's really the only

463
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: thing I didn't like about that movie. And even like

464
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: the wardrobe looked too nice to put together. Yeah, it

465
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: looked too new. Everything looked too new. I need to

466
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: like wear and tear on some things and make it

467
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: lookal like because when they show the old photos at

468
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,239
Speaker 1: the end, I'm like, yes, that looks right.

469
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they were new ish because women hadn't

470
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: been at serve.

471
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: So we also watched Lee, which was another movie you

472
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: wanted to watch around that same time period.

473
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: Yes, it is Kate Winslet starring as a famous journalist

474
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 2: who was formerly a model and then turned into a

475
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: correspondent for like Vogue and other publications during the war.

476
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: Andy Samberg is also in that. That was a movie

477
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: that I wasn't expecting to enjoy as much as I did, And.

478
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: I wanted to watch that one before award season because

479
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: Kate Winslet was up for Globes.

480
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: Which brings me to the next movie. I watched Conclave

481
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: on Peacock, which is all about the pope dying and

482
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: them having to elect new pope. And this movie I

483
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: feel as in contender for Best Picture. It was really good.

484
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: I think the movie that I'm rooting for is a

485
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: real pain. Yes, but I could see Conclave also having

486
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: the best shot. I think for me, there's not really

487
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: a movie that I'm so invested in that I really

488
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: want to win. Thinking like last year, I really wanted

489
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: Godzilla minus one to win. The year before that, I

490
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: really wanted The Whale to win. But there hasn't been

491
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: a movie that has struck me. So it's normally an

492
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: emotional movie, something that hits me in the feels that

493
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that movie has to win, they have

494
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: to win for Best Actor. It hits me on a

495
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: lot of levels. There isn't that movie this year.

496
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a real pain would be.

497
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: That has come the closest. But even that movie four

498
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: point five out of five for me, not a five

499
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: out of five. There's not a movie that I would

500
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: fully put my I know this is gonna win. It's

501
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough one this year, like WI could win. Yeah,

502
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: I think Wicked has a chance.

503
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 2: I think that movie, I mean for the fact that

504
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: they did live singing stunts.

505
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: The production value, the wardrobe, how much money it made,

506
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: which you have to factor into.

507
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: Is turning Cynthia Rivo green every day?

508
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: The fact that it kind of checks all the boxes

509
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: in a very historical I guess you called the Wizard

510
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: of Oza franchise, but a part of that world. I

511
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: would be good with that one winning too, but I

512
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: don't know if the Academy would vote that way. It

513
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: didn't do too well with the Golden Globe.

514
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: It basically just won like box Office Achievement, Like y'all

515
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: made a lot of money.

516
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: Here you go.

517
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: I wanted Glenn powdawin.

518
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

519
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: I did like that they did have the Box Office

520
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: Achievement ward because it was at least acknowledging those movies.

521
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: And that was also the only category that we had

522
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: seen every single movie. So I'm still catching up on

523
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: some of these. I hate the fact that you can't

524
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: watch all of them right now at home, and some

525
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: of them are still coming out in theaters.

526
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 2: Oh, I just thought of what we want Twin sing Sing.

527
00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was good.

528
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 2: I want that to take home some awards. It's coming

529
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 2: back out in theaters before, like Oscar season. I think

530
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: it comes back out next week. Earth as the time

531
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: when this comes out this week January seventeenth. Coleman de

532
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: Bengo was so phenomenal in that it was a life

533
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 2: changing movie. I would love to see that one win.

534
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: And then we still have to see The Brutalist, which

535
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: I think just based on the other people have seen it,

536
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: which is a really long movie three and a half hours.

537
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: There's an intermission with an intermission, which is wild. As

538
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: many as long movies that we've gone to hasn't been

539
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: an intermission one.

540
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 2: Like we'll be seeing that at the Bell Court.

541
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oppenheimer was three hours, no intermission.

542
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 2: Could have had an intermission.

543
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: Endgame was three hours, no intermission. It just makes the process.

544
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna be there four hours.

545
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it gives people like a designated bathroom break. Yeah,

546
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: and as someone who needs those, I appreciate it.

547
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: What was the TV show for you this month?

548
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 2: The new season of Queer Eye.

549
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we did devour that pretty quickly.

550
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: We I tried to stretch it out. It was ten

551
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: episodes this season.

552
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was more. Usually we watched them all in

553
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: like a couple of days. We spanned it out a

554
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 1: little bit.

555
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: There were a couple episodes that I was a little like,

556
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 2: not as heartwarming, but for the majority of them.

557
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: I sobbed puffed. The Magic Dragon one not as heartwarming,

558
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: Yeah that.

559
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: Was Yeah, that was probably the one. I mean, he

560
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: was nice, I just didn't tug at my heart strings.

561
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 2: But the rest of them, the new edition of Jeremiah

562
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: doing the houses remeny tears every time.

563
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: Made me want to go to Vegas. Not you, no,

564
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: I love the smell of a casino.

565
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 2: Nothing about it made me want to go to Vegas.

566
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: My show for December was Squid Game season two. I

567
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: could have watched that entire series in one day, but

568
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: I saved the finale for the next day, so I

569
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: watched six episodes than one episode. I would say less

570
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: gory than the first one, but I thought overall, the

571
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: story and the message that they're trying to make was

572
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: a lot more impactful. It was way more focused on

573
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: the characters in their lives and the entire dynamic between

574
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: money and power and poverty and debt. So really impactful

575
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: in that sense. And I think the second half of

576
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: the season, which it's called season three, but it's really

577
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: just they filmed all at one time and split it

578
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: into two, which is kind of Netflix's motto at the time.

579
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, let's do this and split it up

580
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: into two so we make more money off of it.

581
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: But the second I guess the third season is coming

582
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: out this summer.

583
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: I'm also gonna do another show because queer, I have

584
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 2: someone watch together a solo show.

585
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: Again, which we have these We have the ones we

586
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: watched together.

587
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: Bingo the Madness on Netflix.

588
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

589
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: I watched seven episodes in one day and saved to

590
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: the final for the next day. So good. My younger

591
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 2: brother watched it and he was like, I think you

592
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 2: would love this.

593
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: I would dip in and out of episodes and it

594
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: looked good. It held my attention while I was watching it.

595
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: It was phenomenal. The story like evolved and it turned

596
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: into like kind of something that you weren't expecting in

597
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 2: the beginning.

598
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: What about your book of the month, which we did

599
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: the entire top ten book to twenty four.

600
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: Do one that I read in December that wasn't on

601
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: that list. It was The Lies We Leave Behind by

602
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: Noel Salazar. Shocker, It's a World War two book. Hadn't

603
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: read one of those in a while, and it was

604
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: kind of two points of view throughout the book. And

605
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: I don't want to give too much a way, but

606
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 2: it was about this nurse who met a soldier fell

607
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: in love with them. They had the six sweeping romance,

608
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: and then life happens, and that's all I'll say. That

609
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 2: one was really good.

610
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: I haven't finished a comic series this month. I have

611
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: a lot of comics that in graphic novels that you

612
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: got me for Christmas, and I'm going to read this month,

613
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: so maybe i'll have one next month.

614
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: Also, I just have to I think her name is

615
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 2: Ash if she listens to this. I commented on a

616
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 2: TikTok about podcasts and she commented about my favorite podcast

617
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 2: be there in five and I just like randomly responded

618
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: to it. I'm in the comments of like most podcasts

619
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: and book tiktoks, and she commented and she was like,

620
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: by any chance you Mike D's Kelsey, I love your

621
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 2: book reviews. And it was the funniest, just like most

622
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: random interaction. So if you're listening to this, that made

623
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 2: my day. I love that you love my book reviews

624
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 2: and that you saw me on TikTok. And then she

625
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: was like, if you're not her, I'm so sorry.

626
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 3: This is heir.

627
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: It was me things, it was you.

628
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: I thought it was funny.

629
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, people were loving all that content we did

630
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: of into the bookstore.

631
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 2: If you miss oh yeah, we haven't talked about that.

632
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: If you missed that video, it is up on my

633
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: Instagram and TikTok. And we also did the episode like

634
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: I was mentioning earlier with your top ten books of

635
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. If you missed that episode, you can

636
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: go back a couple in the feed that is there

637
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: as well.

638
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: I could have done better at the bookstore, I thought.

639
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: I guess when I thought of the ninety seconds, I

640
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: thought you would go harder quickly.

641
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: Okay, So here was the problem. I didn't want to

642
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: just start picking up random books.

643
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: Which is what some people said, like why I would

644
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: have gone crazy, But.

645
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: It's like I I like what I like to read,

646
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: so I didn't want to just pick up something and

647
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: it not be something that I wanted to read, which

648
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: makes sense because I also feel like you wouldn't have

649
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 2: like let me put them back at the end, like

650
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: I kind of had to get. So I had a

651
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: list of books I keep a note on my phone,

652
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 2: and so I had a list of books, and I'd

653
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: been checking the Parnasa's website and they had most of

654
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,479
Speaker 2: them in stock. But the problem was most of them

655
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 2: they only had like one in stock. So I was

656
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 2: looking alphabetical order by the author. But it was like

657
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 2: trying to find a needle in a haystack because it

658
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: was just one book. It wasn't like a whole section,

659
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: Like I wasn't picking out like a new popular book

660
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: that they had twenty of. I was picking books that

661
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: they had like one on hand and a paperback, so

662
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: it was smaller hidden. There was one I spent too

663
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: much time looking for. There was another one I'm glad

664
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 2: I didn't look for because it actually turns out already

665
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 2: own it. I was organizing my bookshelf, so yeah, I

666
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: could have done better, but I was happy it Also married,

667
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: we share a bank account. Like at the end of

668
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: the day, I was like, I kind of have to

669
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: pay for these two.

670
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: That's what people didn't realize, Like it wasn't like it

671
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: wasn't a free It wasn't free. We didn't have a

672
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: deal with the bookstore.

673
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 2: Mike just used his credit card.

674
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, because that was the case.

675
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: You could have just like, oh, yeah, if I didn't

676
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: have to pay for him. But I was like, oh,

677
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 2: I like technically got enough to pay for this too.

678
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't like go in and like take the cash

679
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: register type situation, start peeling things off the wall.

680
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: But I have a better plan for next year. I

681
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: think we should do that every year. It was fun.

682
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 2: I like it, what I do think ninety seconds was

683
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: too short, and I think you realized that.

684
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: Gave you the bonus thirty. I guess now that I

685
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: realize how difficult it is to find them, maybe next

686
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: year we can up the time.

687
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: A little bit. We'll discuss it.

688
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: What story you're gonna drop me into and let me

689
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: grab as many things as I want for my birthday,

690
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: either Great Escape or Rix I like riskay, anything else

691
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: you want to say.

692
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 2: I don't think so. We're gonna do a Harry Potter episode.

693
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: Oh yes, that was the other thing we watched over

694
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: the break.

695
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, we couldn't watch any new movies. We spent too

696
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 2: much time. We watched the first one over Thanksgiving and

697
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 2: then we devoured the other seven.

698
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: Which that's all we're gonna say. We will do an

699
00:30:55,640 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: episode where we recap our full Harry Potter rewatch and

700
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: rank them a little bit, because I've always felt one

701
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 1: way about which have been my favorites, which have been

702
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: my least favorites, But after this last rewatch, it has changed.

703
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna pop quizy on if you can name

704
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: them all, because.

705
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: Oh, oh gosh, see I didn't read the books.

706
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: You have that to look forward to you.

707
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll study. Let's get into it now. A spoiler

708
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: free movie review of Sonic the Hedgehog three. My relationship

709
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: with this franchise at a time we were at our

710
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: darkest in most recent movie viewing history. The year was

711
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and only a few movies came out in

712
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: theaters that year that I really remember. I remember going

713
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: to see Bad Boys, I remember going to see Onward

714
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: With The movie that stayed with me that for the

715
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: longest time of that year, because nothing else really came

716
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: out after that was Sonic the Hedgehog, and it went

717
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: on to be one of the highest grossing movies of

718
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: the year. At a time, there was a joke circlating

719
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: online that it should be nominated for Best Picture because

720
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: it was that impactful and also because nothing else came out.

721
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: They did just announce recently that unfortunately, Sonic the Hedgehog

722
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: three is not eligible. I don't know why. They also

723
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: said like Madam Webb is not eligible. I don't know

724
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: why do they just say that so people click on it?

725
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: Should we be at a place where a movie like

726
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: Sonic the Hedgehog three could be nominated for Best Picture?

727
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: I mean the Golden Globes. They just had their Box

728
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: Office Achievement Award wherever Vin Diesel came out. He was

729
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: like hey, Dwayne, which was the best part of that

730
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: entire award show. And he was there saying like, hey,

731
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm happy, I'm finally here, Like where's my recognition been.

732
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: I've been a part of one of the highest grossing

733
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: movie franchises of all time, but I never show up

734
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: to these awards in a world of nostalgia bait, I think,

735
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: and I don't even think. This is going out on

736
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: a limb to say Sonic is the best video game

737
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: franchise of all time and this movie solidified that. And

738
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: if you look at video game movies as a whole,

739
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: they are always seen as a big cash grab. Whatever

740
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: video game has generated a lot of interest that has

741
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: the most players, that has had the most revenue over time,

742
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: it's easy to say, let's make a movie about it.

743
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: We have the Minecraft movie coming out later this year.

744
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: We had Borderlands last year that was just ill timing.

745
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: Sonic by all means, is the best one, and out

746
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: of any video game adaptation, it is the only one

747
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: that has a solid stake in the ground of being

748
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: a real franchise. There are other ones right now that

749
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 1: are building. But when you look back at all these

750
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: video game adaptations, usually that are one and done because

751
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: usually they are so bad. But what I love about

752
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: Sonic they did it in one, they did it in two,

753
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: and they did it again in three. It is the

754
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: subtle nods to the video game and how much they

755
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: really show that the people making these movies care about

756
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: those aspects, which is somebody like me who I didn't

757
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: grow up with a sega. My cousin had a sega

758
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: and I would go to his house and we would

759
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: play so like The Hedgehog one Sonic the Hedgehog, who

760
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: just had a really good Mighty morph Empower Rangers game

761
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: that I remember playing all the time after school at

762
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: three pm at his house. Because I love Sega but

763
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: that was my relationship with the character, and Sonic was cool,

764
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: and he was supposed to be Sega's Super Mario, and

765
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: the way they counterprogrammed was saying, hey, super Mario at

766
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: this points kind of dated. He's not very cool, He's

767
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: a plumber. The gameplay at the time was very revolutionary,

768
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: but now kids are kind of getting board of it.

769
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: They said, what can we do to embody the attitude

770
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: of the nineties and create our iconic character, and the

771
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: result was Sonic. He was fast, much faster than Super Mario.

772
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: He had attitude, he had cool shoes, and he made

773
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: an impact in video games and very much rival Nintendo

774
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: because of that on the Sega platform, and Sega did

775
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: well for a majority of the nineties. They did compete.

776
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: Ultimately Endo one out, Ultimately Nintendo went out. Sega really

777
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: isn't the thing anymore, but Sonic lives on, and where

778
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: he lives on best is in movies, and if you

779
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: even look at any other attempts at video game franchises,

780
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: it's just not really there. I think there are some

781
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: Building five Nights at Freddy's. They have a sequel coming.

782
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: Even though I wasn't a fan of that video game

783
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: didn't play. It wasn't even a fan of the movie.

784
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: I do think there is some potential there. Super Mario

785
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: Brothers obviously did a really great job with that animated movie.

786
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: If Illumination can do that again with part two, maybe

787
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: we can talk franchise there. Mortal Kombat obviously you have

788
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: the originals from back in the nineties, which the first

789
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: one was good despite the CGUI now that doesn't really

790
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: hold up. First one was good. I even find some

791
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: redeeming qualities in two. But the remake in twenty twenty one,

792
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: it's not really a remake, it's the rebooting of that

793
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: entire franchise is also good. I got enjoyed that movie,

794
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see a second one, But we're

795
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: still not ready to talk franchise. Their Sonic is by

796
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: far the best video game franchise of all time. There's

797
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: just no competition, and in this one and with really

798
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: every sequel into Sonic, starting out with the first one,

799
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,479
Speaker 1: which was his landing on Earth being lonely, just wanting

800
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: a family, that was a really heartwarming story. In the

801
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: second one we get a new character, Knuckles, voiced by

802
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: Eater's Elba, and then in this third one, we have

803
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: Shadow voiced by Keona Reeves. So with every sequel they've

804
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: introduced a new character. There's tales, of course, they are

805
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: a whole family. They are a whole unit. What I

806
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: just love is the character design of Sonic and how

807
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: the Internet changes all that. Where he looked freaky and

808
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: beady eyed in that first trailer they released and everybody

809
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: was like, yo, this doesn't look good. And now he

810
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: is so warm and cuddly and fun and friendly looking.

811
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: And even just the fact that he was a lot

812
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: smaller and skinnier and scronnier in the first one, and

813
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: as he has become more loved by humans and his family,

814
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 1: he has grown. He is beefed up a lot leading

815
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: into Sonic three. And the thing about Sonic three, if

816
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: you took away the fact that it was Sonic and

817
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: you just took this action and character arc and story

818
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: and plugged it into the MCU, we wouldn't bad a

819
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: die it saying this is a family film. It's not

820
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: a family film. The only real thing that makes Sonic

821
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: a family film is Doctor Robotnik played by Jim Carrey.

822
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: He is so wacky and outlandish in this character and

823
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of what brings it back down a little bit,

824
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: and I get you're kind of fighting different generations here.

825
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: You have the people like me who grew up with

826
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: Sonic Cartoon back in the day. Oh I love that

827
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: cartoon with Joe Little White as the voice of Sonic.

828
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: I still go back and watch episodes of that. He

829
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: taught me a lot about, like those little life lessons

830
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: at the end of those episodes. I learned so much.

831
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: But you have the thirty year old mid thirties even

832
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: late forties fan like Meme. You have probably people who

833
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: discovered him in like the two thousands, and then obviously

834
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: everybody in between. But then you have the young generation,

835
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: kids who have really only watched the movie from twenty

836
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: twenty and beyond and that has been their introduction into

837
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: the character, because really the video games aren't even as

838
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 1: prelevent anymore. I think you have to include the wackiness

839
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: of Jim Carrey, which he does a really great job at.

840
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: He's Jim Carrey. He is the best at doing that.

841
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 1: It's wild to me still that this is the movie

842
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: franchise that brought him out of acting retirement. Like this

843
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: is what he said, you know what I want to

844
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: come back and play this character because it feels so

845
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: unlike anything in his filmography, but he does it really well,

846
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: and in this movie he plays two different characters. He

847
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: plays robotic and he also plays his grandfather. And I

848
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: really believe that this movie didn't need Jim Carrey. I

849
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to come back for a

850
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: fourth movie, which they did announce there is going to

851
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: be a fourth movie, obviously, with this movie only costing

852
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty two million dollars to make, which

853
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: is a lot of money, but not for the level

854
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 1: of movie this is. And at the time of recording

855
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: this it has already made over three hundred million dollars,

856
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: so easy that they're going to make a force will

857
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: probably make a fifth. Keep introducing new characters. You can

858
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: keep breathing a lot of life into this story by

859
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 1: doing that, and I think at this point you don't

860
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: really need him anymore. Whenever he was on screen, those

861
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 1: were the only moments I found myself not enjoying the movie.

862
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: And I love one, two, and three. Now I still

863
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: think number one is the best out of all of them,

864
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: but I will now put three in that second slot

865
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: because I think the action was really that good. One

866
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two million dollars was really well spent,

867
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: and you see that from the opening scene of this movie.

868
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: There was a lot more gunfire and flames and just

869
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: overall destruction in this movie than I was expecting. And

870
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: not only that, but seeing the transformation not only of

871
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: Sonics character, but also had one of the best backstories

872
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: for not just somebody in a video game character in

873
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 1: a family friendly movie, but I would say of most

874
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: villains that we've had in the last two to three years,

875
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: the entire story of Shadow and why he is the

876
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: way he is, his origin story is just trying to

877
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: have somebody to understand him. Story his relationship with Maria

878
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: was just so unexpectedly impactful to me that I thought,

879
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: like they're creating some real substance here, which is what

880
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: I love that directors and filmmakers do in family movies

881
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 1: of not dumbing down these concepts to kids. They're smart,

882
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: they can get it. They want to feel too. They

883
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: also want to laugh. So obviously, like I said, you

884
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: have to include those doctor robotic bits which are pretty dumb,

885
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: like seeing him dance through lasers. Like I hated that

886
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: part of the movie, but the other moments really brought

887
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: this one up for me. And going back to the

888
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: evil of Sonic, he is still that fun, full of

889
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: life character in this movie, but you really start to

890
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: see an edge to him, especially once he goes Super Saiyan.

891
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: Super Saiyan Sonic was hardcore. Super Saiyan Sonic was going

892
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: to save his family, going to save the world no

893
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: matter what. And I love a movie with a hedge,

894
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: a movie with unexpected edge, I would say, and that

895
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: is exactly what they brought to us in Sonic three.

896
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: The final Battle was I would say, even better than

897
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: the Final Battle in one and two. But I think

898
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,720
Speaker 1: overall it was just the comedy that wasn't really cutting

899
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 1: it for me. I think if they cut that out,

900
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: this franchise would be stronger. But again I'm saying that

901
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: as a thirty year old adult. Overall the movie looked great.

902
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: Taught you about family, it taught you about loss, It

903
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: taught you about teamwork, which I think was really important.

904
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: Even for me. It reminded me, man, you can't dip

905
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: out on your friends. Once you're in something together, you

906
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: gotta stick together. You can't abandon people, well especially the

907
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: people who got You There? So I really feel like

908
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: the evolution of this story from one, two, and three

909
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: has really held together, which is hard to do in

910
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: any franchise. Usually by three it's the worst one, you know,

911
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: how hard it is to make a solid trilogy. I

912
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: think they'll continue to make Sonic movies as long as

913
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: they're making that Sonic money. But what really won me

914
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: over in these films was the subtle nods to the

915
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: fans from back in the nineties, seeing tales and knuckles

916
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: tap their foot like they would when they were waiting

917
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: around in the video game. I love the real subtle

918
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: nods to the music where they have like these stripped

919
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: down almost orchestra versions of like then then like that

920
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 1: is just like oh yeah, just right there, Crispy. You're

921
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: also playing the older ears, like oh yeah, throw in

922
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: some classical music on this Sonic film. So overall, a

923
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: really solid installment in the franchise. Still not the best,

924
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: but for Sonic three, I give it four out of

925
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: five gold rings. Maybe it's time to head down to movie.

926
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: Mike Trey Lar Paul. I love a movie that takes

927
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: risks when it comes to creativity, and maybe you make

928
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: a movie which for the most part, is supposed to

929
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: reach the masses that anybody can watch it and enjoy it.

930
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: That's kind of the purpose of media to an extent,

931
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: at least blockbusters if you want to make money. But

932
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 1: sometimes movies come out and I feel like the filmmakers

933
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: know that it's gonna be a niche audience, and this

934
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: movie is probably going to resonate with a very specific

935
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: group of people. But those people are gonna love it,

936
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: and I think, for the most part, those other people

937
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: who end up watching this movie, if they even discover it,

938
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 1: will end up hating it. There are types of movies

939
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: like this, especially associated with AI, which is what this

940
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,959
Speaker 1: movie Love Me is about. It's a post apocalyptic romance film,

941
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: which is already a lot like how do those categories

942
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: go together? And the movie is about all of humanity

943
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: is extinct. We've been wiped out. Doesn't specifically say for

944
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 1: how long. But there is a booie voice by Kristen Stewart, yes,

945
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: a booie that you would find out in the ocean,

946
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: and a satellite voiced by Steven un and somehow they

947
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: start communicating with each other. They have this AI consciousness

948
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: that is trying to understand humanity, and they do that

949
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: through the Internet. It shows their characters watching YouTube videos

950
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: and seeing other humans and learning about emotions like love

951
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: and happiness and sadness, and then it looks like they

952
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: almost go into this metaverse type situation where they are

953
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 1: able to create these avatars. You know, whenever the metaverse

954
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: came out and it was so big and everybody was

955
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: just saying that virtual reality was gonna be the next

956
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: big thing, that we were all gonna put on these things,

957
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: these goggles, and we would be able to go into

958
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: the metaverse and have meetings. You see them as avatars,

959
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: and then you see them as humans and they take

960
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: the role of the human body of Christian Stewart and

961
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: Stephen Yun and they have a real life together. They

962
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: have a kid in this trailer, and they're just ai

963
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: trying to feel human. And this movie is asking that

964
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: question of what it means to be human and what

965
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: qualifies living or not. And I have so many theories

966
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: on this because I've been thinking about this a lot.

967
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: So before I get into more, here's just a little

968
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: bit of the Love Me trailer in here.

969
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 2: We can create a world just for us, don't you

970
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 2: ever wonder what it's like, what life?

971
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: What does it feel like to be alive?

972
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 2: This is amazing.

973
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: Well, let's date night.

974
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 2: Have you ever considered how impossible it is that we

975
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: found each other?

976
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 1: But who are we supposed to be? So there are

977
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: a lot of movies that Love Me reminds me of,

978
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: and I'm all about anything post apocalyptic, anything futuristic. Her

979
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite movies of all time. That

980
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: movie came out over ten years ago, before AI was

981
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: as prevalent, even before smart devices in smartphones, we had them,

982
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: but it wasn't in the capacity that we have them

983
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: now that at that time, the concept seems so crazy

984
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: to fall in love with your phone, fall in love

985
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: with your operating system. And now in the last two years,

986
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: we've seen that happening with AI, So that movie was

987
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: ahead of its time. It reminds me a little bit

988
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: of that. There are parts of this trailer that also

989
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: remind me of Inception and Whenever. Leonardo DiCaprio's character and

990
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: his wife in that movie, they dive into the world

991
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: of dreaming and it is there where they form their

992
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 1: perfect life. They build their perfect place where they can live,

993
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: and they lived there for years and to them that

994
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 1: is their reality. This movie also reminds me of Wally,

995
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: controversially one of the worst Pixar movies to some. To me,

996
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: that is one of my favorites because I love the

997
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: concept that that movie brings, the loneliness, the isolation of Wally,

998
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: also the state of the world and it's commentary on that.

999
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,439
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like it's Wally an Eve from

1000
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: that movie come to life. Those are the parallels I

1001
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: see between these characters, and I think this is such

1002
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 1: a unique concept. I haven't seen a movie trailer even

1003
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: look like this. There are scenes of it where it's

1004
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: just a YouTube video and you see Christen Stewart like

1005
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: YouTuber vlogging. There are scenes that are animated, and then

1006
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: there are scenes that look like more of a traditional

1007
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 1: indie movie. So there are a lot of different layers.

1008
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: So visually, I think this movie is gonna have a

1009
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: lot to say. It's also only ninety minutes. With the

1010
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: concept like this, I wonder how long can it go

1011
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: without falling apart? And also how long can a concept

1012
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: like this keep your attention, especially something with the limited

1013
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: cast that's gonna really rely on the stars of this

1014
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,240
Speaker 1: movie here, which you have too really great people. Kristen

1015
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: Stewart has been crushing it lately, who started out obviously

1016
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: with Twilight, which is what still most people know her from,

1017
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: has done the whole big studio movie run, and in

1018
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: recent years has gone more of the indie route. Last

1019
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: year with Love Lies Bleeding was one of my favorite

1020
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: movies of the year. Didn't make my top ten, but

1021
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: it was still one of my favorite movies. She has

1022
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: really leaned into being a part of movies that feel

1023
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: fresh and probably challenge her a bit as an actor

1024
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: and don't feel like the traditional things that she's done

1025
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 1: over and over again. Stephen You and you may remember him.

1026
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: I feel like people still think of him as Glenn

1027
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: from The Walking Dead, but also in recent years has

1028
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: been crushing it. He was great in Beef on Netflix.

1029
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: I am loving him right now as Invincible over on

1030
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,720
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. That is one of my favorite animated shows

1031
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: of all time. It was so good that I waited

1032
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 1: so long to watch season two because season one came

1033
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: out a while ago, and whenever season two came out,

1034
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: I didn't want it to be over, So I waited

1035
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: until Christmas Break to actually dive into that. And I'm

1036
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: still watching that right now, but he is fantastic in

1037
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: that as well. So I think we have two really

1038
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,959
Speaker 1: great actors who have the ability to make this movie work.

1039
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: But again with a concept like this, sometimes it just

1040
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: falls apart, and sometimes I get too bought into the

1041
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: premise of a movie. I think we can do that

1042
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: sometimes that within twenty or thirty minutes, you think, ah,

1043
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: this isn't really good to go anywhere. But there are

1044
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: also movies like this that I just know I'm probably

1045
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: gonna be the only dude who enjoys these movies. Just

1046
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: looking at the overall temperature of what people are saying

1047
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: about this film at this moment, there is a movie.

1048
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 1: It also reminds me of Passengers with Chris Pratt and

1049
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence. I love that movie, one of my favorite

1050
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: hidden gems of the twenty tens. But for the most

1051
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: part that has not seen as a good movie, but

1052
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: kind of in the categor glory of movies we've been

1053
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: talking about here, that one does take place in the future.

1054
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: They're supposed to go on this journey that's supposed to

1055
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: last years, and Chris Pratt's character ends up waking up

1056
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: early in the trip starts living out his life alone

1057
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: on this big spaceship, stumbles upon Jennifer Lawrence's pod that

1058
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,720
Speaker 1: she's sleeping in. He's like, oh man, that girl's beautiful.

1059
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm a find a way to wake her up, and

1060
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: then they have a relationship and all the things that

1061
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: happened in that movie. Again, that sounds like a great concept,

1062
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,399
Speaker 1: and maybe it doesn't meet the expectations of everybody who

1063
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: went into watching that, but I love that movie. So

1064
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 1: sometimes I just accept that there are going to be

1065
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: films that really play to my interest. Anytime in a

1066
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: science fiction movie where it's post apocalyptic futuristic, have to

1067
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 1: do with technology and there's a love story, that is

1068
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: my weakness in this category. That is my weakness in

1069
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: sci fi. In horror, it has to be haunted house

1070
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: and there's a kid talking to a dead person. That

1071
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: is also my weakness. Superhero movies, anytime Spider Man is anything,

1072
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: that's my weak or Wolverine. So I have these movie

1073
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: weaknesses that I'm gonna have a bias in because it

1074
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: is just my favorite. It is the stuff I seek

1075
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,479
Speaker 1: out not only in movies, but comic books I read

1076
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: and articles like click online and TikTok or YouTube videos.

1077
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: Those are just my specific interests in me as a

1078
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: human being that I don't care how not much of

1079
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: a home run that they are, as long as they

1080
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: are speaking to that specific niche audience like me. Like

1081
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: I was saying before, sometimes a movie knows it's gonna

1082
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: be so niche, but it's gonna find his audience into

1083
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: those people, it is gonna be great. So even just

1084
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: basing it off of this trailer and the production, it

1085
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: does look like a lower budget movie. But sometimes it's

1086
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: those that are just necessary and it's gonna be a

1087
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: movie that in five ten years, I'm gonna look back

1088
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,919
Speaker 1: and think, man, I'm just glad that this got made.

1089
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 1: There are a lot of movies like that that they

1090
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: won't do well financially, even though the actors believe in

1091
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: them and they'll promote them, they just won't stick. And

1092
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: in a world where people are still just complaining that

1093
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,320
Speaker 1: everything's a remake or a reboot, and then you have

1094
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: movies like this that come out that people still don't see,

1095
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,240
Speaker 1: you wonder like why. But then I will still always

1096
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: think like I'm just glad that this got made and

1097
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: this art exists and the other point I was going

1098
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,720
Speaker 1: to make that I was talking about earlier with Dreams

1099
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 1: in this trailer and in this story, it looks like

1100
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: they are trying to use the Internet as their guide

1101
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: and learn what it means to be alive and to

1102
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: fall in love, even though that this world that they

1103
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: are falling in love in and creating they can get

1104
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: their perfect place doesn't really exist. It looks like the

1105
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: human forms of them are just going to be essentially

1106
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 1: avatars and they're still gonna be that booie and that satellite.

1107
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: But again, in this movie, it's called Love Me. It

1108
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 1: is coming out at the end of the month on

1109
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: January thirty. First, I may be the only one who

1110
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: watches this movie, but I had to tell you guys

1111
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 1: about it.

1112
00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 2: And that was this week's edition of movie Line or Bar.

1113
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: Now that I sound like a complete crazy person, let's

1114
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: close out the episode. That's gonna do it for this week.

1115
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: But before I go, I got to give my listener

1116
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: shout out of the week. This week, I'm going over

1117
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: to YouTube and I pull a very specific comment because

1118
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 1: I want to talk about and address this kind of

1119
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: my goal for the year. This week's listener shout Out

1120
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: of the Week goes to Betty G fifteen, who commented

1121
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: on Kelsey and I's review of Baby Girls. So if

1122
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: you heard that review last week, or maybe you missed it,

1123
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: you can always go watch full individual movie reviews on

1124
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 1: my YouTube channel YouTube dot com slash Mike Distro click

1125
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 1: the link directly in my bio. It's in all my socials.

1126
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: You can find it pretty easily. But Betty G fifteen wrote,

1127
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: would be nice if you guys look at each other

1128
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: smiley face. And the reason I wanted to talk about

1129
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: this comment and to give Betty the listener shout out

1130
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: of the week is because I just want to say

1131
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: that I do have a goal of working on my

1132
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: YouTube channel more this year. And the reason Kelsey and

1133
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't fully look at each other when we're doing

1134
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: the movie reviews because we only have one camera at

1135
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: the moment, So I'm trying to add a second camera,

1136
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: learn how to work that, and overall just add some

1137
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: production quality to the YouTube channel. So would really appreciate

1138
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: if you go subscribe over there, follow along watch some

1139
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: videos over there to help me out because over there,

1140
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm still a small creator. I still don't have that

1141
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: many subscribers. Don't get a whole lot of views, but

1142
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: I find myself just trying to invest in that more.

1143
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 1: So that is a goal of mine this year. And

1144
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: when Kelsey and I do have our own cameras and

1145
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: I can operate that we'll look at each other so

1146
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 1: I can switch back and forth and said, right now,

1147
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: we're just looking at the same camera, which is how

1148
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: I do all my reviews. Right now, just look at

1149
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: it straight on. I like to look you right in

1150
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: the eye, deep into the soul in my movie review.

1151
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: So that is why so is a goal of mine

1152
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty five. Wanted to share it here to

1153
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: hold myself accountable. So appreciate everybody who watches over there.
