So a lot of fun stuff to talk 12 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: about today. Thanks for being here on a Monday. Shout 13 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: out to the Monday Morning movie crew. You guys already 14 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: know what it is. Let's talk movies. In a world 15 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one man 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never before 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: in a movie podcast. A man with so much movie knowledge, 18 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: he's basically like walking on v classes from the Nashville 19 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: Podcast Network Movie Podcast. There are now twenty eight Marvel 20 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: movies with Dr Strange coming out this weekend, and I 21 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: think in every single Marvel movie. There's a moment that 22 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: I look forward to, and it's that moment that you 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: get so excited because something amazing is happening, something pivotal, 24 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: or there's been so much struggle throughout the entire movie. 25 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: It's that first moment of gratification of like, yes, it's 26 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: finally happening. That is what I look for. That is 27 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: the excitement I go into a Marvel film expecting, and 28 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: that's why I think these movies are so successful when 29 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: they deliver that moment. We go watch these movies in theaters, 30 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: we all collectively cheer Marvel movies when done right, I 31 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: feel like it's a good sporting event, Like that's always 32 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: just what I compare them to because there's no other 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: movie universe that can create moments like this, So I 34 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: feel like this is very unique to Marvel. And these 35 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: are all moments where I felt like we all either 36 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: got up in our seats cheered, Clapping is even acceptable 37 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: in these moments. And I have ten of them for you. 38 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: I didn't really rank them in any order of significance. 39 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: I kind of just grouped them together a movie by 40 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: movie and starting off with the ones that I think 41 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: when I put this question out online, the most of 42 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: you replied to and said these were your favorites. And also, 43 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: before I get into this, I know this is a 44 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: spoiler free podcast, but obviously when talking about some of 45 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: these moments, if you haven't seen these movies, they could 46 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: be considered a spoiler because some of them do come 47 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: at the endings of these movies. So I'll say the 48 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: title of the movie before I get into it, so 49 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: if you want to skip ahead on that because you 50 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: haven't seen those movies. But I also feel like these 51 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: movies have been out for so long and they've been 52 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: referencing all other Marvel projects, so Marvel kind of spoils 53 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: them by putting these events in trailers or other movies 54 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: down the line. So I just wanted to give you 55 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: a warning. And I will get into some from Spider 56 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: Man and No Way Home, but I'll save that for 57 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: the very end because that is still a relatively really 58 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: new movie. But let's get into it now, and I 59 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: want to start with Avengers Endgame. I think this is 60 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: the one you guys wrote in about the most because 61 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: it is the entire phase one through three being put 62 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: to an end, and there are obviously a lot of 63 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: loose ends to tie up in this movie, and it 64 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: being a three hour movie, it's really an investment. But 65 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: there are so many big cheerable moments that come in 66 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: that final scene, that final battle, and I think that's 67 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: where I have to start. So the first one being 68 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: where everybody returned and came through the portal, And I 69 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: think the great thing about this when you watch it 70 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: for the first time, you don't know what's gonna happen, 71 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: you don't know who's going to win, you don't know 72 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: where all these characters have been. And then when that 73 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: opens up and they all come through, it is a 74 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: chilling moment on your left. And that only leads us 75 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: to our next big cheerable moment in that same fight scene, 76 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: and it's when Captain America says the famous line a 77 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: simple one of the biggest hype moments in any movie 78 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: I've ever seen, and kicks off one of the best 79 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: fight sequences and also leads us to this other one 80 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: that I think was the one you sent in the most, 81 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: and it was because it had always been alluded to 82 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: in referenced in other movies. But when Captain America finally 83 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: takes stores hammer the crowd, I just remember how it erupted. 84 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: Everybody cheered at this moment. People lost their minds because 85 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: of this, and I felt something inside of me like burst. 86 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: I thought I was going to hyperventilate or something. I 87 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: know it. What a great moment. And then the last 88 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: one I want to talk about from Avengers Endgame is 89 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: one I think we all cheered in the moment but 90 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: didn't realize what was going to happen afterwards. And it's 91 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: when Tony Stark a k a. Iron Man finally gets 92 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: the control of the Infinity Gauntlet. And even though it's 93 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: actually a really sad scene, the moment where he gains 94 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: control and says his famous line that kind of brings 95 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: it all full circle was what I felt this entire 96 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: Infinity saga was leading up to. It started with iron Man, 97 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: it ended with iron Man in the perfect kind of way. 98 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: Never a right, yeah iron Man. Yeah. I literally get 99 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: chills listening back to that. And I'm not even joking 100 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: about that. I just remember watching these movies and how 101 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: much of an unstoppable force that Thanos was. That nobody 102 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: could stop him, even in this movie where you thought 103 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: he was going to be defeated so early on, and 104 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: it came back even stronger. You didn't really see away 105 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: where they were going to actually beat him. And when 106 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: he's finally outsmarted and it's Iron Man who has done 107 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: this to him, I couldn't ask for anything better in 108 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: that moment. So that is it for Avengers endgame, in 109 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: those moments, and we'll just keep it in the Avengers 110 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: category now and start back at the original one that 111 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: came out back in And even though I have one 112 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: that came before for this movie, I kind of feel 113 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: like this is where all those moments really started. This 114 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: is where Marvel really got its identity, and it was 115 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: when we saw all the first original Avengers assembled for 116 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: the first time. But before that, one of my favorite 117 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: movie quotes and movie moments is whenever Bruce Banner first 118 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: turns into the Hulk, and it was something we've been 119 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: waiting for the entire movie. I just loved the Incredible Hulk. 120 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: It's a character I think he gets a bad shake 121 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: when it comes to his solo movies. The one from 122 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: the two thousands was utterly terrible. I don't think the 123 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: Incredible Hulk movie is as bad as people remember. I 124 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: wish they would have had the cast and identity of 125 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: what Marvel is back when they made that movie. But 126 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: I just love the character so much. I think there's 127 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: still some good in that one. But being able to 128 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: see Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner finally turned into the 129 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: Hulk for the first time and revealing that it's been 130 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: inside him the entire time, I think we all cheered 131 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: in that moment. Banner, that might be a really good 132 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: time for you to get angry. That's my secret chap. 133 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm always angry. So then you see him turn into 134 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: the incredible Hole again for the first time. It's all 135 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: six Avengers, they're all back to back to back, and 136 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: the camera just kind of swoops around them, and out 137 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: of all the Marvel movies, this was like the first 138 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: real iconic moment. And then just moments after that, there's 139 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 1: a scene which I feel I hold as the standard 140 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: in every single Marvel movie, whenever they're finally able to 141 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: defeat the villain. I felt like it took Marvel quite 142 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: a while to find some memorable villains. Between Loki and Thanos, 143 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: sometimes you kind of just forget who is the bad 144 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: guy in some of these movies because they just come 145 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: out so often. Between Loki Sanos and kill Monger. I 146 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: feel like a lot of the other villains are just 147 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: a little bit forgettable, and I feel like in Marvel 148 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: movies there's just so much momentum going and usually everything 149 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: goes wrong up until that third act. There's always this 150 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: big heroic moment where they're finally able to triumph, stop 151 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: the evil plan, defeat the villain. And if I don't 152 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: get that moment of like yes, in a Marvel movie, 153 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:27,599 Speaker 1: I feel like it was a little bit of a 154 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: waste of time because I go expecting this roller coaster. 155 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: I go expecting the big finale, the big bright ball 156 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: of fire. That's what I want from a Marvel movie, 157 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: and if that's a little bit lackluster, I feel a 158 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: little bit disappointed. But this was one of the first 159 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: times I remember feeling that, because Loki had been such 160 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: a nasty, tricky villain in this and you really just 161 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: hated him by the end of it, and you almost 162 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be something a little bit more poise 163 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: or something more articulate in the way they take them down. 164 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: But it just goes and follows out with the incredible 165 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: Hulk just smashing him, and it was perfect. All of 166 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: you beneath me. Oh my god, you don't creature. But 167 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: I will not be bloodied by that, and I think 168 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: it's because it was just so unexpected, just right out 169 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: of nowhere, he just grabs him and smashes him, classic 170 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: Hulk smash. Those are the moments I love, and I 171 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: feel like that feeling hasn't been replicated the same way. 172 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: Next up, we'll talk about cheerable moments from Avengers Infinity War, 173 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: which I still think is the best Avengers movie out 174 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: of all of them. And it's because even though Endgame 175 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: had all the cheerable moments we talked about before and 176 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: everything being wrapped up, I felt like it couldn't have 177 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: got there without the groundwork made in Infinity War. I 178 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: feel like those two movies are almost just one big movie, 179 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: just kind of split into two. But I feel all 180 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: the real action and character development and real struggles happened 181 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: in Infinity War, and on its own, it is the 182 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: better movie. And it all goes back to Fanos being 183 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: this unstoppable, as he says, an inevitable villain that you 184 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: just want to see them beat him so bad. And 185 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: I really just love the relationship of Thor and his 186 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: hate for Thanos and seeing this kind of fire ignited 187 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: in Thor in this movie, which I felt like, this 188 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: is really when his character started to shine and where 189 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: he started to become one of my favorite Marvel characters. 190 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: And the moment when Thor and some of the other 191 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: Guardians of the Galaxy show up in Wakonda, he brings 192 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: his acts and he is there claiming that he wants 193 00:11:53,720 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: Danos nothing better than a ticked off Thor, and Chris 194 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: Hemsworth plays that so well. And then in this battle scene, 195 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: and in this battle scene in Waconda during Infinity War 196 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: came another one of my favorite moments and another one 197 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: that was just so fun to experience in the theater. 198 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: And I think it has a little bit more significance 199 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: now going back and watching this knowing there will never 200 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: be another Black Panther movie with Chadwick Boseman. And I 201 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: remember after he passed, I rewatched, you know, Black Panther, 202 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: I rewatched The Infinity War, and it was this scene 203 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: specifically that just got me like I would go back 204 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 1: and watched this scene and hearing his voice screamed this 205 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: line and just what that scene represented, what that movie 206 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: represented in the character, I felt it boiled down to 207 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: this you know this saying, and now how different it's 208 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: going to be as they continue to make movies in 209 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: the Black Panther franchise, which I'm excited for. I'm excited 210 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: to see how they carry on that story. But it 211 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 1: just makes these scenes so much more impactful. And when 212 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: to Chola yelled this fighting with the Wakondas, It's still 213 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: doesn't fail to get me hype. We'll move on now 214 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: to the original m CU movie which started it all 215 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: back in two thousand and eight, and it is iron Man, 216 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: which I would probably put in my top five, maybe 217 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: even top three Marvel movies of all time because it 218 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: was the success of that movie largely due to Robert 219 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: Downey Jr. As iron Man and Tony Stark that really 220 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: carried the m c U all throughout that phase one. 221 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: And some people kind of criticize it a little bit 222 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: because they leaned so much on iron Man and putting 223 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: them in every single movie to kind of boost people's 224 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: interest in it. But Robert Downey Jr. Was us so 225 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: great at playing that role and iron Man is such 226 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: a great superhero, and that first movie is as close 227 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: as you can get to a perfect Marvel movie, and 228 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: I also just loved how it ended, where he goes 229 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: through all this and then wait until the very end 230 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: of the movie to reveal this, and you get a 231 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: final cheer at the very end. I'm just not the 232 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: hero type. Clearly with this laundry list of character defects 233 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: all the mistakes I made largely public. Truth is I 234 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: am Iron Man, and I think it's that happened in 235 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight in the moment I played earlier 236 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: happened later in nineteen. I don't know if that was 237 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: the planned the entire time, or at what point that 238 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: became like we have to do this, but that whole 239 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: connection just makes me smile. And then the list wouldn't 240 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: be complete without talking about Spider Man No Way a Home, 241 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: which I know it came out just this past holiday season. 242 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: So if you haven't seen Spider Man No Way Home, 243 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna really spoil anything here that 244 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: you haven't seen on Marvel's Instagram or Spider Man's Instagram. 245 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: But just in case you don't want to know anything 246 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: about it, just skip ahead a couple of minutes now 247 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: and I won't get into all of them. I just 248 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: want to talk about the one where I feel like 249 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: the crowd in my movie theater and movie theaters across 250 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: the world. So there were so many cheerable moments in 251 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: this movie, everything from Daredevil appearing as this lawyer, which 252 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: I guess you had to watch that Netflix show going 253 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: into it to really be like me and maybe the 254 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: five other people who share during that part. But I 255 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: think the one without a doubt that everybody was anticipating 256 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: and wondering whether or not it was going to be 257 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: in the movie, and I have never experienced the crowd 258 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: gets so loud to the point to where that it 259 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: wasn't until I rewatched this movie at home that I 260 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: even knew what was said after this moment, because everybody 261 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: was just buzzing for at least I don't know a 262 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: few minutes, and I think Marvel probably knew that was 263 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: going to happen, so they didn't put anything pivotal there. 264 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: But it's the moment wherever Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker comes 265 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: through the portal, and I knew instantly by the look 266 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: of the suit that this was actually happening. It wasn't 267 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: just a rumor. But when he showed up, I'll say, 268 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: it was life changing for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it 269 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: has to be. Peter he died, Peter he hi hi, no, no, no, no, 270 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. I'm a nice shi. Okay. Yeah. 271 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: That moment when he took off his mask really did 272 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: it for me. And then when Toby McGuire just kind 273 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: of walks through nonchalantly in a very Toby McGuire Peter 274 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: Parker way love that moment. But obviously the other part 275 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: where I don't know that I necessarily cheered, but I 276 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: just got very excited and had this feeling of like 277 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: I can't believe this is happening, is when all three 278 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: Spider Man swung together, and instantly you knew that that 279 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: was something you would never see again. But all right, 280 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: that's all the main ones. I do have some honorable 281 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: mentions here. Thor Ragnarok, I feel, is one of the 282 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: most underrated Marvel movies because it's so fun, it has 283 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: such great action, and also just has a very unique 284 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: artistic style that set itself apart from not just the 285 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: other Thor movies, but really any other Marvel movie. I 286 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: love the playfulness of Thor Ragnarok with Thor in his 287 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: relationship with the Hulk and Bruce Banner, and I got 288 00:17:50,800 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: really excited whenever Thor gets really excited at seeing the Hulk. Yes, good, 289 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: we know each other. It's a friend from war. And 290 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: then the other movie I was going to talk about 291 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: was Captain America's Civil War, which I feel is the 292 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: strongest of the Captain America movies. It almost feels like 293 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: an Avengers Junior in a way. But I think the 294 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: moment we forgot that was really exciting for Marvel fans, 295 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: and it was whenever Spider Man appeared for the first 296 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: time in the m c U, which it was something 297 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: that I have been waiting to happen for a very 298 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: long time. And the reason it didn't happen for so 299 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: long is because Sony owned the rights to Spider Man, 300 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: which which Sony made all the original Toby McGuire Spider 301 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: Man movies and then the Andrew Garfields they had the 302 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: rights to him, and it wasn't until Disney acquired Marvel 303 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: and they were finally able to work out a deal 304 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: to allow them to include Spider Man in the m 305 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: c U, and they decided to put him in Civil War. 306 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: In that moment, when you see Spider Man for the 307 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: very first time, he looks a lot different. It's more animated, 308 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: a little bit more true to the cartoon, and he 309 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: takes Captain America shield with his web. I feel like 310 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: everybody clapped in the theater when that happened. Kid, Thanks, 311 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: well I could just stok landing a little better. It's 312 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: just a new suit. Well, it's nothing, Mrs Dark, It's 313 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: it's perfect. Thank you. Yeah, we don't really need to 314 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: start a conversation Captain big fan Spider Man. Yeah, we'll 315 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: talk about it later. Just everyone, good job. It's also 316 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: just fun to listen back to like the early Tom 317 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: Holland is Spider Man and remembering how excited it was 318 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: seeing them finally get Spider Man right again, making him 319 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: younger and making him a little bit more just excited 320 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: at the whole idea of being a superhero and everything 321 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: being kind of fresh and new to him, and while 322 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: you have all these other characters who have gone through 323 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: all this crap, he's just so fresh based and really 324 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: just to be there and be a part of them. 325 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: And also how he sees them as like rock stars 326 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: and sees them that, you know, these famous superheroes and 327 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: he's just a kid. So I hope you enjoyed that 328 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: journey through some of the best cheerable moments in the 329 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: Marvel universe. If there are some you think I may 330 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: have missed, or other ones that are your favorite, just 331 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: let me know.

All right, let's talk about it. Doctor 334 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: Strange Into the Multiverse of Madness made a bunch of 335 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: money over the weekend despite it having pretty low reviews 336 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: for a Marvel movie, one of the lowest reviews. And 337 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: I didn't look at anything before I went to see 338 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: this movie. I didn't want any influence on the way 339 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: it made me feel how I felt it fit into 340 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: the Marvel cinematic universe. I wanted to get that raw, 341 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: fresh feeling to be able to do this podcast without 342 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: any other influence, and I got that. Didn't see any 343 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: spoilers going into it, won't reveal any spoilers here, although 344 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: I feel Marvel does, like I said before, kind of 345 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: ruins their own movies because everything is so intertwined. But 346 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: before I get into my full review of Doctor Strange, 347 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: until the Multiverse of madness. Here's just a little bit 348 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: of the trailer. I sacrificed everything and that nothing. Oh strange, 349 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: what if you've done I never met with this stappen. 350 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: You cannot control everything. You brought this on yourself. You 351 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: break the rules and become a hero. I do it, 352 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: and I become the enemy that does some SeeMe thing. 353 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: So going into any Marvel movie, I think the question 354 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: I get the most is what other Marvel movies do 355 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: I have to see to understand this one. At this 356 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: point in the game, it's almost like you have to 357 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: see everything, and what Marvel does and what they're really 358 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: banging in on is intertwining all of their stories. All 359 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: the movies connect now, all the Disney Plus series connect now. 360 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: I think a lot of that is due to Disney 361 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: having this big plan for them and wheneverything kind of 362 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: across promote itself. It's all intertwined. You make more money, 363 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: and it also super serves the fans because when you're 364 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: able to go into something and your reference to something 365 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: else you watch. That's kind of Marvel's thing. And it 366 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: was weird for me because I love everything Marvel puts out. 367 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: Even their most mediocre movie is still so much better 368 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: than pretty much anything you can go into watching at 369 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: the movies, and that's why they just dominate with every 370 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: single thing they put out. And when I get into 371 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: why I didn't fully love this movie, I don't want 372 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: to feel like the people who were fans of like 373 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: the original Star Wars movies and now they criticize the 374 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: newer ones because they aren't exact actually what they grew 375 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: up with. I am just looking at this of how 376 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: it made me feel and how I think it all 377 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: plays in together. So if you went in watching this 378 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: not have seeing the original Doctor Strange, not watching One Division, 379 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: not seeing Spider Man No Way Home, and then you 380 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: also have to see Avengers Infinity War and Endgame to 381 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: fully get this movie. So it's a big investment, and 382 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what it would feel like for the 383 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: casual fan who maybe just saw a Doctor Strange and 384 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: then went to see this movie or even just watch 385 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: this movie. So I felt like that has a real 386 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: big effect going into the story. If you're not already 387 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: up to date on all those movies, do you even 388 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: care about these characters? Do you even know what's going on? 389 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 1: And I don't really feel like these movies do a 390 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: good job at being self contained anymore, and that's hard 391 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: for me to really go into a movie like this, 392 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: and it's hard for me to go tell people like, hey, 393 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: you should go watch the New Doctor Strange. It's an investment. 394 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: And Sam Rami is the director. He directed the original 395 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: Spider Man trilogy. He's also known for his horror movies 396 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: like The Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Dragged Me to Hell, 397 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: and a lot of that came out in this movie. 398 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: The horror elements that I think Marvel audiences weren't really expecting. 399 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: You got glimpses of it, and there were some parts 400 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: of this movie that I never expected to see in 401 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: a Marvel movie, and I really enjoyed those parts because 402 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: I love horror movies. Don't get me wrong. It's not 403 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: a horror movie by any means. There's like maybe one 404 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: jump scared to know going into it, but other than that, 405 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: if you can handle even the most mild like Halloween story, 406 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: I would say the horror elements or PG at that, 407 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: I think it's just so jarring because we've never really 408 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: seen that before. And the only thing that really made 409 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: me excited about this movie going into it was that 410 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: it had a great lead in with Spider Man No 411 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: Way Home, and as it dives more into the multiverse, 412 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: I just felt like the plot of this movie, I 413 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: just didn't really love it. And maybe it's because it 414 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: kind of felt like the same thing again. It's Doctor Strange. 415 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: He cast a spell and there are repercussions from the 416 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: spell that he has to try and fix, and that's 417 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: essentially what happened in Spider Man No Way Home. That's 418 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,959 Speaker 1: essentially everything that happens with Doctor Stranger's character, and I 419 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: just don't get that hero aspect from Doctor Strange. He 420 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: does things pretty recklessly, and it's not that the other 421 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: superheroes haven't done that before. I felt like Iron Man 422 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: was pretty reckless in the things he did. He was 423 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: kind of just going off of his emotion and what 424 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 1: he thought was right. And if you kind of judge 425 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: some of those things, maybe he wasn't always in the 426 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: right with the things he did, but it always felt heroic. 427 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: He always saved the day and ended up being the 428 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: hero that we all needed him to be. When it 429 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: comes to Doctor Strange, he is a very self centered character. 430 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: He's almost kind of annoying, pompouscare character, and I don't 431 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: really get that same aspect of he's doing anything to 432 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: say of the world. It almost just feels like he's 433 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: trying to repair his mistakes and really only caring about himself. 434 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: So maybe that's a weird critique of the character, but 435 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: it just doesn't really make you like him, even though 436 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 1: I like bennerdet Cumberbatch, and you can see in his 437 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: performance that he really cares about the character. But I 438 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 1: just don't feel like the story here was really anything necessary, 439 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: And they kind of tried to attack on the love 440 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: story with Rachel McAdams, and I just wasn't fully invested 441 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: in it. I was hoping with Sam Raimi's vision. You know, 442 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: he created a really great love story in the original 443 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: Spider Man trilogy, like that trilogy is essentially just a 444 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: love story of Peter Parker wanting to have Mary Jane 445 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: and not being able to live those both lives. And 446 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: I know Sam Raimi is coming here on the sequel already, 447 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: It's not like he had a whole vision for this, 448 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,479 Speaker 1: so I just felt like his vision wasn't fully committed to. 449 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: Maybe there was some overarching like Disney and Marvel pulling 450 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: some strings of not letting him have complete creative control 451 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: in this movie, which I get big corporation. They have 452 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: to make sure everything keeps going according to plan, and 453 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: if he ends up not doing another movie in this series, 454 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: they have to move on. But there are some things 455 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: I enjoyed. There was some great action sequences in this movie, 456 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: even though some of the c G I felt a 457 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: little bit off. I felt a little too artificial, which 458 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: I know when you're creating a world like this, it's 459 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: going to be like that. I love the introduction of 460 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: America Childs's character, and I think they made the wrong 461 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: movie here. I think they should have focused on her character, 462 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: and maybe that's what they wanted to do, but I 463 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: almost felt like it could have been an origin story 464 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: of her character, but less people would have been interested 465 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: in that. I felt like that was the movie I 466 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: wanted to see because her character was really the best 467 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: part of this. And then, of course Wanda, who became 468 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: one of my favorite Marvel characters after One Division. I 469 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: felt she was always underrated in the Avengers movies and 470 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: that series really just brought her to life, and she 471 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: is the villain in this. And there are just more 472 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: things that I want to get into that I feel 473 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: like are going to be spoilers, and I will talk 474 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: about them fully in my spoiler review of Doctor Strange, 475 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: but I'll just say it kind of connects with me 476 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: not loving the plot, which I think is the ultimate 477 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: reason I didn't get as much enjoyment out of this 478 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: one as I was expecting. But nonetheless, it was still 479 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: a fun ride. The first act of this movie felt 480 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: a little bit nostalgic, which is weird because it felt 481 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: like the first time I went to a movie theater 482 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: and saw like an early twenty tens Phase one m 483 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: c U movie. It had that kind of feel to it, 484 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: and I really hadn't felt that in a while, and 485 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: maybe I was a little bit too overcritical of it 486 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: or but I think it all just goes back to 487 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,479 Speaker 1: me not feeling the story. Because my wife saw this 488 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: with me, and she loved it. She thought it was 489 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: one of the best Marvel movies she's seen in a 490 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: very long time, and she didn't really understand my critique. 491 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: So I feel like she is a little bit more 492 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: right on because she's a little bit more of a 493 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: casual Marvel fan. She loves just the big fighting, the 494 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: special effects, and the superhero element to it. She left 495 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: really enjoying this movie. I think I just had higher 496 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: expectations with the director attached to this and having a 497 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: really great lead in with Spider Man No Way Home, 498 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: and also now having the Multiverse at the forefront, which 499 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: is so hot right now. And maybe it's also because 500 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: I just watched everything everywhere all at once, which I 501 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: felt really outshines the multiverse element of this And I 502 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: don't want to jump on with all the critics kind 503 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: of bashing this movie. I'm not coming from the same place. 504 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: I'm a huge Marvel fan, and I'd still defend this 505 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: movie on its overall merit of being something exciting, being 506 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: a spectacle, And I would still encourage you to go 507 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: watch this movie and make that opinion for yourself because 508 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: I still love how Marvel creates that unique experience that 509 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,719 Speaker 1: you really can't get anywhere else. And again, even their 510 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: most mediocre movie is worth the ticket price. But for 511 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: me personally, because of all those reasons, I would give 512 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: this movie three point five out of five multi verses. 513 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: Now it's time for the part of the podcast where 514 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: I break down a movie trailer of a film coming 515 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: to you soon in theaters or streaming. This one is 516 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: actually gonna be streaming on a very unique place. But 517 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: in a segment we call it's time to head down 518 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: to movie Mike Paul, and today we're talking about a 519 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: movie coming out on Roku channel. It is called Weird 520 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: the Al Yankovic Story of Daniel Radcliffe playing Weird Al 521 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: Yankovic in a movie that I think is going to 522 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: be pretty interesting because Weird Al is a famous parody 523 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: artist who parodies all these pop songs, who's been around forever. 524 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: And then you have Daniel Radcliffe, who is most famous 525 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: for playing Harry Potter, but I feel now stepping into 526 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: a whole different world outside of that. I feel like 527 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: he's done a really good job at creating a distance 528 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: from his role as Harry Potter, but also, you know, 529 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: knowing that that's the role that brought him here, still 530 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, giving a lot to those fans, but also 531 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,479 Speaker 1: at the same time wanting to do something completely different. 532 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: So I think this is a very unique role for 533 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: him and curious to see how this plays out. But 534 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of Weird the Al Yankovic 535 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: Story trailer. I hope you guys are ready for this. 536 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: Like a surgeon in cat Lack of anyone got an accordionture. 537 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: So I think it's an interesting time to be making 538 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: a weird Al movie. I feel like young people probably 539 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: really won't know who weird Out is, so maybe you 540 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: don't have any idea who weird Out is. But weird 541 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: Out is mainly known for his parodies of songs where 542 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: he pokes fun sometimes at the artists, where he pokes 543 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: fun at pop culture. He became really famous in the eighties, 544 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: so it's had a pretty big impact on pop culture, 545 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: but also has the critical acclaim to back it up, 546 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: selling over twelve million albums and also winning five Grammys. 547 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: And at the height of his fame back in he 548 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,479 Speaker 1: even wrote and started in a movie called U H Jeff. 549 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: And he also had a TV show in the nineties 550 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: called The Weird Al Show. And he is now actually 551 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: one of the co writers on this movie. So by 552 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: watching the trailer, it gave me a little bit more 553 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: of a glimpse of what this movie is going to 554 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: look like. I gotta admit a little bit hesitant about 555 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: it because it is on Roku channel, which I don't 556 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: have a Roku. I have a Firestick, but it's basically 557 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: like their own service they have shows on there with ads, 558 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: but now they have this original movie. So just finding 559 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: this movie maybe a little bit of a hurdle for 560 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: some people. But you do have him as a co writer, 561 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,479 Speaker 1: you have Daniel Radcliffe as the star, which he doesn't 562 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: really look exactly like weird Al. I think it's mostly 563 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: from the costume and the wig where he kind of 564 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: gets down the character. But I also don't think you 565 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: have to look exactly like the person you're portraying. And 566 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: maybe that's just the way I feel about it, but 567 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: I feel like the actual actor and they're a bit 568 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: alities is a little bit more important. I feel like 569 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: sometimes people just want to cast a person who looks 570 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 1: identical or as close to the celebrity or famous person 571 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: they are portraying. But I'd rather see somebody like Daniel 572 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,479 Speaker 1: Radcliffe who is passionate about it. He brings a star 573 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: quality to the role, and I'd take him any day 574 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: over some no name actor who bears more of a 575 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: resemblance to weird Now and then, since weird Al is 576 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: famous for his parodies, this is also going to be 577 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: a kind of parody of the biopic genre. It's described 578 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 1: as a scripted mockumentary, and you get a little bit 579 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: of the feel of that from the trailer. So when 580 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: it's being described like that, it kind of reminds me 581 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: of Walk Hard to Dewey Cock Story, which was a 582 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: parody of all like the music biopics, I also get 583 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: kind of a spinal tap feel from it. And then 584 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 1: you have some other actors attached to it, like Rain 585 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: Wilson and Evan rachel Wood, who is playing Madonna in 586 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: the movie. They started filming this movie back in February 587 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: and it's supposed to come out this fall. No official 588 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: date is given, They just say Fall two. So this 589 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: is one I'm pretty curious about. And I think even 590 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: if it turns out to be a bad movie or 591 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: just not the movie we were expecting, at least it'll 592 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: have a pretty good soundtrack. I think my favorite weird 593 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: Al songs would probably be his parody of Ride and 594 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 1: Dirty and it's White and Nerdy Nerdy, just too wide 595 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: nerdy seeing white and nerdy be whiten dirt. Then it 596 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: would probably be Amish Paradise as a parody of gangst 597 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 1: This Paradise, And then my favorite one is probably eat It, 598 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: Don't tell Me how ful have have some heart and 599 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, so we'll at least have that soundtrack to 600 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: look forward to this fall. And that has been this 601 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,280 Speaker 1: week's edition of Movie Book Try More, and that's gonna 602 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: do it for another episode of the podcast before I 603 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: hop out of here. What I do every single episode 604 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: is give my listeners shout out of the week. You 605 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: can get one of these by tagging me on your 606 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: Instagram story, sending me an email Movie Mike D at 607 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: gmail dot com.

I really enjoy listening to your 611 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: recent top ten lists from CinemaCon. I recently ran across 612 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: the fun daily game for movie lovers that I thought 613 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: maybe you should know about. It's called Framed. It's like 614 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: the popular word game, except still picks from movies and 615 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 1: you have to guess the movie title. I promise it's 616 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 1: not spam L O L. Take care. Rob. Appreciate that email, Rob, 617 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: and yes I have seen Framed. I don't play it daily. 618 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: Me and my wife play Hurtle a lot, which is 619 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: the song version of that that's when I have to 620 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: play every single day. But maybe I'll get back on 621 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: the frame train. So thanks for that email.
