1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Movie Mix Movie Podcast, where today I'm 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: talking about the twin film phenomenon. So have you ever 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: noticed that two similar movies come out around the same 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: time and they're about pretty much the exact same thing. Well, 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,159 Speaker 1: there's a reason for that, so you're not crazy. This 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: actually happens all the time. So you may see a 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: trailer for one movie and then you see pretty much 8 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: the identical trailer like three months later, and like, wait 9 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: a minute, I'm pretty sure I've already seen that movie. 10 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: So I dug in, did some research and found out 11 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: exactly why studios can get away with doing this, and 12 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: I was actually pretty satisfied of what I found out. 13 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: And the second part of this, I'll also take to 14 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: twin movies that were up against each other and find 15 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: out which one did better at the box office and 16 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: which one we kind of remember more and had a 17 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: more of an impact on our lives because some of 18 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: these I forgot were even made. Also in my movie 19 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 1: review this week, i'll talk about The Lighthouse with Robert Pattinson, 20 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: a pretty weird movie overall, and I'll get into that, 21 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: and I'll round up some movie news about some sequels 22 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: being made that I'm pretty excited about so all that 23 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,639 Speaker 1: will be covered here on this episode.

Well maybe have no idea who I am. Well, 35 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: it's pretty much assumed that nobody does, okay, And as always, 36 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram at Mike Destro. 37 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: I usually throw out the topic on my Twitter, so 38 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: if you want to go follow me on there, you 39 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: can kind of give your opinion even before I record 40 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: the episode. So with all that out of the way, 41 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: let's get started. In a world where everyone and their 42 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: mother has a podcast, one man stands to infiltrate the 43 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast. 44 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: A man with so much movie knowledge. He's basically like 45 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: a walking aud MTV with classes from the Nashville Podcast Network. 46 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: This is movie. So today I'm talking about why two 47 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: similar movies can come out around the same time. They 48 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: have pretty much similar plots, maybe even the title is similar, 49 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: but a few key differences make it to where they're 50 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: just known as something called twin films, which is something 51 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: I recognized probably early on as a kid, and I 52 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: didn't really know what was going on. So what I 53 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: want to do in this first segment is just talk 54 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: about why this happens and how people are able to 55 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: do this essentially without getting sued, because I remember this 56 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: as a kid when I watched A Bug's Life and 57 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: that came out. It was a Pixar movie, and I 58 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I love this movie. It's about bugs 59 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: and they're uprising again some grasshoppers. And then another movie 60 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: comes out called Ants, which is pretty much the exact 61 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: same thing. You have these little insect ants and it's 62 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: about which is a bit more of a darker movie, 63 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: but pretty much around the same time, pretty much about 64 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: the same thing. I didn't think about as much as 65 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: a kid, and now I see it kind of more 66 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: and more happening, and I really wanted to discuss and 67 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: find out why studios can get away with this. Is 68 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: it just that, hey, we found out they're doing about this, 69 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: so let's get on it before there comes out, or 70 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: is it there's actually some stealing going on here? Like 71 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: why are people getting sued over something like this? Because 72 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: in the news somewhich we see in music where people 73 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: basically get sued for three notes. If you put out 74 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: a song that sounds even similar to another song, that 75 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: person can then sue you and say, hey, you stole 76 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: my thing. So why is that a thing in music 77 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: and not a thing in movies? So I kind of 78 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: figured out why, and it actually kind of makes a 79 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: bit of sense, and all of it actually isn't as 80 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: negative as I thought. So basically what it boils down 81 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: to in movies is you can't copyright an idea. You 82 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: can copyright a script, but a basic idea and plot 83 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: of a movie is something that you cannot physically copyright, 84 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: and that is why people and studios are able to 85 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: do this. So All You is one example. I'm gonna 86 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: get into a bunch of different examples of two movies 87 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: that were pretty much the same movie that came out, 88 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: and I'll compare which one came out on top, but 89 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: I do have some that just kind of work as 90 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: examples to explain the situation. So the movies I'm gonna 91 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: be looking at first our White House Down, an Olympuss Fall, 92 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: and which are pretty much about the exact same thing. 93 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: Channing Tatum's White House Down came out three months after 94 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: Olympus Has Fallen, and this is why this happened. So 95 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: White House Down was sold as a spec script, which 96 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: is basically just somebody who wrote a movie and pitched 97 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: the script to a movie studio. That's what a spec 98 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: script is. And they sold that as a package to 99 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: Sony with the director already attached, and everything was pretty 100 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: much laid out for this movie. The budget was a 101 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: hundred fifty million, all the production values and everything was 102 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: they were going to build like a big replica of 103 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: the White House. All this was in the deal for 104 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: this movie. But then over here on the other side 105 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: you have Olympuss Fall, and which wasn't a part of 106 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: this movie studio as all. It was an entirely different 107 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: script with a budget around seven million dollars. So it 108 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: was supposed to be more of a like an independent movie, 109 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: and they both actually knew that these movies were being 110 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: made about the same time, but when the movies were 111 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: coming out, they both thought that they had the better script, 112 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: that they had the better movie, so they decided to 113 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: go forth and both put out their movies around the 114 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,239 Speaker 1: same time. So Sony thought they had a better script 115 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: with the better director who was roling ema Rich who 116 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: was known for a bunch of big blow up action movies, 117 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: and then a little bit of fault and thought they 118 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: had the better movies, so they put their movie out 119 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: three months after and pretty much just let audiences decide 120 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: who had the better movie. So in this case, it's 121 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: not all bad. While they both knew that they both 122 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: had similar scripts and similar stories coming out around the 123 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: same time, they kind of see also as they're able 124 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: to use each other's promotions to benefit the other movie, 125 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: to benefit themselves really, because they're promoting their movie about 126 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: an attack on the White House and another movie is 127 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: kind of doing the same thing, so it kind of 128 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: has in the public's eye. You see these both movies 129 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: with similar scripts, and you kind of see these both 130 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: trailers and you're thinking, Okay, I've kind of seen and 131 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: heard about these movies. Maybe you don't know which one 132 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: is attached to which one, and you end up being 133 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: just interested in the story together, and then you kind 134 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: of based which one you want to go see on 135 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: maybe you like the actors better, you like the director better, 136 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: and then you make your pick. So these movie stagures 137 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: are kind of just writing each other's coat tails on 138 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: the promotion of this and really in the end letting 139 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: the audience decide which one they like better. It's not 140 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 1: really in this case them stealing the other person's idea, 141 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: because another thing that happens is somebody will go to 142 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: somebody with one of these spec scripts and be like, hey, 143 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: I have this movie a really great idea. An executive 144 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: will read it and go through it and be like, 145 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: you know what, this isn't really a movie for us, 146 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: And later they get wind that oh, somebody else took 147 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: that script and is now making that movie. They've already 148 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: seen that script, So they take somebody else and bring 149 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: a writer in and be like, Okay, this is basically 150 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: what this movie is about. We want to write a 151 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: very similar movie without taking some key elements from their 152 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: script and just making it our own. That way, when 153 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: they get their movie up into production, we're right there 154 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: behind them. The problem with this is that you hear 155 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: about these twin films, but you rarely hear about twin 156 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: hits because when they're just so similar, you're almost splitting 157 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: that audience of like which one is going to go 158 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: see the other. So, although they both get their movies 159 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: out around the same time and they're able to still 160 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: make money off of these movies, one usually ends up 161 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: being better than the other almost in every single scenario. 162 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: Very few instances where they're both hits. That hardly ever happens. 163 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: Sometimes they pretty much split the money right down in 164 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: the middle and make about the same amount of money, 165 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: But rarely is it that both movies come out to 166 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: be totally successful. Another reason why this happens is that 167 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: there are certain scripts and certain storylines that are public domain, 168 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: which is something I just found out about because you 169 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: hear about songs being public domain. For example, like whenever 170 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: Happy Birthday was put into the public domain, that means 171 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: that restaurants can now legally sing it without having to 172 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: pay any royalties to the songwriters. Because public domain means 173 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: anybody can use it for free, you don't have to 174 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: pay royalties to the person who wrote it. They are 175 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: actually public domain in movie scripts. So going back to 176 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: that idea that you can you can't steal an idea, 177 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: but you can steal a movie script. You can't just 178 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: take the script to Iron Man and make your own 179 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: iron Man and be okay. No, you can take a 180 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: storyline that's public domain and make your own adaptation of 181 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: that movie. So an example I'm gonna use is Mirror, 182 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: Mirror and Snow White and The Huntsman. So, first of all, 183 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: everybody thinks that Disney owns snow White. Disney does not 184 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: own snow White. They were the first ones to make 185 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: snow White, but the actual script for snow White is 186 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: public domain, which means anybody can take that initial story 187 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: written by the brothers Grim and that story is public domain, 188 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: meaning that nobody owns it. That as long as anybody 189 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: takes that story and kind of makes it their own, 190 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: they can use that no matter how they want. So 191 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: Disney doesn't own snow White. They were the first ones 192 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: to kind of make it their own, and they put 193 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: their own elements to the story to where you find 194 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: it as a Disney movie and a Disney story. But 195 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: they actually don't own the rights to that movie at all. 196 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: So whenever Mirror a Mirror came out and Snow White 197 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: and The Huntsman, which was by Universal to not Disney companies, 198 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: they were both able to make this movie because it 199 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: is public domain. Anybody has the rights of that script. 200 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: So this is kind of why every few years you 201 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: see maybe movies about snow White because you can take 202 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: that story and making your own. There's some other public 203 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: domain movies too. Recently, the original Peter Pan is now 204 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: a public domain movie, so maybe you'll see a new 205 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: revamped story of Peter Pan coming in the next few years. 206 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: And the most recent example is A Star is Born. 207 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: That story is actually a public domain story. So whenever 208 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga did that, that was that 209 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: story has actually been remade and retold several different times. 210 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: And sometimes movie companies don't really like to let people 211 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: know about that kind of thing because because making a 212 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: remake is kind of it has like a bad taste 213 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: in a lot of people's mouths, like, oh, that's just 214 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: a remake, very uncreative. Even when that movie came out, 215 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: they never said it was a remake because it really wasn't. 216 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: It was just the reinterpretation of that script that is 217 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: public domain. So the other thing I kind of think 218 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: about is why don't these movies just pull out of 219 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: an idea once they see somebody else is making that movie. 220 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: And there are a couple of reasons for this. Mainly, 221 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: once a film is in production, there's so much money 222 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: already sunk into the movie that you can't really recoup 223 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: that money because you've already put so much money into it. 224 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: By hopping out of that movie just because somebody else 225 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: is doing it would end up losing you way more money, 226 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: so you kind of just have to commit to it 227 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: at that point, no matter how bad that sucks. The 228 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: other reason this happens is because sometimes people are just 229 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: reacting to what's happening in the world at that time. So, 230 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: you know, around twelve, there was a big thing about 231 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: the end of the world. Everybody thought the world was 232 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: gonna end around twelve for some reason, So naturally writers 233 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: are gonna start writing scripts and making movies about the 234 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: end of the world. So you're gonna have all these 235 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: kind of ideas floating around, and eventually the scripts get 236 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: made and somebody just tries to beat somebody to the 237 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: punch to make that same movie, so well, nobody's really 238 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: stealing ideas here. It's the same kind of thing in comedy. 239 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: Just because somebody finds something funny and makes a joke 240 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: about it, somebody else probably found that same similar situation 241 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: funny and writes a joke about it too, and then 242 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: later they both did the joke, and then there's a 243 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: big debate and like, oh, you stole my joke. Well, really, 244 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: it's just because people will react to the same situations 245 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: in life just like anybody else would, So the same 246 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: thing kind of happens when they're making these movies. Like 247 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: when Steve Jobs died, for example, there were two movies 248 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: made about Steve Jobs that were pretty similar. One had 249 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: Ashton Kutcher, one had Michael Fastbender. And it wasn't that like, oh, 250 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: they're making a Steve Jobs movie, I'm gonna make that. 251 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: It's just because it's just because his dad was a 252 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: big deal at the time, and somebody was going to 253 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: own the rights to the movie, and somebody else was 254 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: just gonna make a movie based on his biography. And 255 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: maybe sometimes they actually you end up stealing stories from 256 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: another movie company and they're like, Oh, I had no 257 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: idea you were making that movie. Oh wow, this is 258 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: quite the coincidence here. Well, I guess we'll see who 259 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: does better. That happens to Let's not be blind to 260 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: that that generally people will rip off other people ideas 261 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: that they think are good, and they're also instances where 262 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: they even work together. There was one instance in a 263 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: movie I'll bring up here in a bit where they're like, oh, wait, 264 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: we have two pretty much similar scripts. They're different in tone, 265 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: but we kind of want to work together a bit 266 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: so to make them not exactly the same for audiences. 267 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: I think overall, Hollywood doesn't like it when they end 268 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: up having to put out twin films, because, like I said, 269 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: one's gonna do better was probably gonna be a lot 270 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: less memorable, and they often go to really great links 271 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: to make sure this doesn't happen. And it kind of 272 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: sucks when sometimes there is a really great script out 273 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: there but it's too similar to another one and one 274 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: that ends up not being made just because someone else 275 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: beat them to the punch on it. But I guess 276 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: that's just the way it is. I think the main 277 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: thing that I just find pretty crazy is that the 278 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: way they shop scripts of like, you can take your 279 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: script that you've been working on to one company and 280 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: they say no to you, and you take it to 281 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: someone else and they end up making the movie. But 282 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: just because that person remembers your story and remembers that 283 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: it was good, they just couldn't really make it at 284 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: the time, or they didn't want to invest in you, 285 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: and they go and make their own script. That's just 286 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: some shady stuff that really sucks for the writer who 287 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: invested in this script and maybe put so much effort 288 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: in time to making the script and someone else just 289 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: steals it. That part of it sucks. But what I 290 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: want to get into exis movies that actually went head 291 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: to head against each other that were very similar. These 292 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: twin films, which one one at the box office? Which 293 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: one we remember more. There are some of these that 294 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: I'm like, I had no idea that that was even 295 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: a thing. They were just so bad. So let's look 296 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: at these next right after this. All right, So now 297 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna look at twin films. I'm gonna give you 298 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: two movies that were very similar came out around the 299 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: same time. I'll to kind of tell you what they 300 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: were about, and the two movie studios involved, and which 301 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: one ended up coming out on top. Where I want 302 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: to start is the one I remember as a kid, 303 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: which were Ants in A Bug's Life. Both came out 304 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: in and pretty much just followed the life of one 305 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: ants point of view, very similar stories, and I think 306 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: the kids, maybe you don't really notice the difference. They're like, Okay, 307 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: kids aren't really going to pay attention to this. They 308 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: just want to see animated movie about ants and they 309 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: won't mind, and a few other months that another movie 310 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: will come out about ants. I just thought these were 311 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: ardly similar. I was a bigger fan of A Bug's 312 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: Life because I just like Pixar movies more as a kid, 313 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: and even Aunts had a bit of a darker tone. 314 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: It was Servester Stallone, and I remember from that movie 315 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: was the first time I think in an animated movie 316 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: where I heard people curse. I think they dropped hell, 317 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: maybe even s ob in that movie, and I was 318 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: just like, WHOA, this is a way darker movie than 319 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: A Bug Life. Um But Ants came from DreamWorks Animation 320 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: and A Bug's Life came from Disney Pixar. At the 321 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: box office, Ants brought in one hundred and seventy one million, 322 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: and A Bug's Life just crushed them with three hundred 323 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: and sixty three million dollars, so pretty much not a 324 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: real big competition for Disney and Pixar were just a 325 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: much bigger brand at the time. And really what kind 326 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: of stepping into this animation collaborations with Pixar around this time, 327 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: like with the success of Toy Story and all that, 328 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: So they were really no match here. You left one 329 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: ants stand up to us than they all might stand up. 330 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: Let's move into one of my favorite genres, the disaster movie. 331 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for a good disaster movie. I think 332 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: Twister is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. 333 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: I just really like the overall concept of a disaster movie. Actually, 334 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: next week, I think I'm gonna get a chance to 335 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: meet Dennis Quaid, and I really want to ask him 336 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: about The Day after Tomorrow, one of my favorite disaster movies. 337 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: But I'm looking right now. When you had Dante's Peak 338 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: against the Volcano, which both revolved around the cast trying 339 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: to outrun volcanic eruptions. So you got Pierce Brosen and 340 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: Dante's Peak, and you got Tommy Lee Jones and Volcano 341 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: pretty much about the same thing. One is in a 342 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: small town up north, the other one is centered in 343 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and at the box office, Dante's Peak put 344 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: in one hundred and seventy eight million, which Volcano brought 345 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: in a hundred and twenty two millions, so not too 346 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: far off. I remember being a bigger fan of Volcano, 347 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: and I think it was just for me at the time. 348 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: The title Volcano, I kind of knew what I was 349 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: going into watching the movie. It gave me everything I wanted. 350 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: And Dante's I just remember not really knowing what it 351 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: was about at the time. I actually rewatched them both 352 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: pretty recently, and yeah, I still think Volcano holds up 353 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: a little bit more than dante Speak. Although I think 354 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: you really can't go wrong in disaster movie for some reason. 355 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: I know they're not the greatest movies as far as 356 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: the acting and the plot, but man put on a 357 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: good disaster movie, and that is a solid Friday Night 358 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: Do anybody feel that staying in the disaster space you 359 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: have Armageddon versus Deep Impact one, You've got Robert Duval, one, 360 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: you have Bruce Willis both pretty much trying to save 361 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: the world from a big asteroid or comment pretty much 362 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: about the same thing. At the box office, Armageddon brought 363 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: in five hundred and fifty three million dollars and Deep 364 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: Impact brought in three hundred and forty nine million dollars, 365 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: both pretty big blockbusters, but I think just on pop culture, 366 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: Armageddon had a way bigger impact. No pun intended, but 367 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: I think with the song Aerosmith, I Don't want to 368 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: miss a Thing was just a big thing that's tied 369 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: to that movie. And when you bring up these kind 370 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: of disaster movies and I think you just forget about 371 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: Deep Impact a little bit, And really Armageddon is the 372 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: one that stands out, maybe because of Bruce Willis Captain America. 373 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: Here Blue the Landing by twenty six miles. How the 374 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: hell do you know that? Because I'm a genius. This 375 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: next one I thought was interesting. I've seen one of 376 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: them and actually never took time to watch the other one. 377 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: A n have The Truman Show and ed TV, which 378 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: would both follow men whose lives are pretty much being 379 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: filmed twenty four seven. The difference in this one is 380 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: and ed TV he agrees to it, and in The 381 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: Truman Show he has no idea that this is happening, 382 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: and I think looking at box office numbers, you know 383 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: which one we remember more because ed TV brought in 384 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: thirty five point two million dollars and The Truman Show 385 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty four million dollars, and it was 386 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: nominated for several Academy Awards, including Best Director. And The 387 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: Truman Show is just one of my favorite Jim Carrey movies. 388 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: I like the more serious side of Jim Carrey, and 389 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: I just remember the ending on this movie just really 390 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: hitting me in the heart. I thought overall, his acting 391 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: was just really great in this where it kind of 392 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: goes from borderline comedic and just really dramatic of like 393 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: Jim Carey going through his character finding out that he 394 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: is being filmed throughout the entire movie, the idea that 395 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: he didn't know. I think it was just a better 396 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: concept about this movie, unlike the a TV version with 397 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey, where he just kind of agrees to it. 398 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: There's really nowhere else to go in the movie after that, 399 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: and quite frankly, as a movie that we probably forgot 400 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: was made. In case I don't see you, Good afternoon, 401 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: good evening, and goodnight. Yeah, next one's pretty interesting. We 402 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: got Disney Pixar back in the mix, which pretty much 403 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 1: we find when you go up against Disney, you're probably 404 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: not gonna win. So in two thousand three they put 405 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: out Finding Nemo hit theaters big success, and then about 406 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: one year later, Will Smith came out with another fish 407 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: tale called Shark Tale. The plots are pretty different in 408 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: this one. The real concept is just that it's a 409 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: fish movie, because Finding Nemo is about Nemo he gets 410 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: lost and his dad goes to find him. In Shark Tale, 411 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: it's Will Smith and the shark, but we're all. Finding 412 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: Nemo just crushed Shark Tales the box office, bringing in 413 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: nine hundred and twenty one million dollars compared to Shark 414 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: Tales three hundred and sixty seven million. Also spawned off 415 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: Finding Dory, and it's really just the movie that we 416 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: remember more. So, you go against Disney and you pretty 417 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: much get rocked every time, except in two thousand five, 418 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: when Disney and DreamWorks were added again. DreamWorks put out 419 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: Madagascar and Disney put out a movie called The Wild, 420 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: which is actually a movie I don't really remember at all, 421 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: but both movies had similar plots about animals getting loose 422 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: from the Zoo, and in this case, Madagascar crushed Disney 423 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: with five and thirty two million dollars compared to The Wild, 424 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: which is a hundred and two million, which the most 425 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: surprising thing to me is that I don't even remember 426 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: The Wild. I remember Madagascar being such a big thing, 427 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: but this other Disney movie it's not even brought up 428 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: into conversation anymore. And overall, the Madagascar franchises grows two 429 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: point two billion dollars worldwide. So this is just a 430 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: very rare instance where another studio went up against Disney, 431 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: and actually one on over time, I let go movement moment, 432 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: I leck go movement movement like to moment. These two 433 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: movies that came out in two thousand six. I was 434 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: actually a fan of both for some reason. I was 435 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: in The Magic at the time, and The Prestige and 436 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: The Illusionists are pretty much both about magicians. One has 437 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman and the other one has 438 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,479 Speaker 1: Edward Norton, which I think are both pretty solid movies. 439 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: One is a little more developed than the other, and 440 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: and also you have two better actors. Maybe, so when 441 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: The Prestige you have Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman, which 442 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: are two magicians competing against each other, and then Edward 443 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: Norton is about his character using magic solely for love. 444 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: Both I think pretty good movies. Both I thought were 445 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: fairly enjoyable, and at the box office did pretty much 446 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: about the same. The Prestige brought in one hundred and 447 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: nine million dollars compared to The Illusion bringing in eighty 448 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: seven million, And I think overall, we just like a 449 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: good magician movie. Even though they came out her at 450 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: the same time, I don't think they suffered from it. 451 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: That's why a free Magic Trick. That's a third act 452 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: nos Paul the Prestige. Now, this next one has two 453 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: very similar plots. It's the one I was talking about 454 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: where they actually helped out each other because they knew 455 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: that they were both making movies about the same subject. 456 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: So you have Sony making Paul Blarts mall Cop, and 457 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: then you have Warner Brothers making observing report. Seth Rogan 458 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: said that they actually both knew that they were making 459 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: ball cop movies, and they even worked together and sent 460 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: each other pictures of their wardrobe just to make sure 461 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: they weren't stepping on each other's toes. Now, these are 462 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: both really different movies, which I think compared to the 463 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: other ones I've talked about. Paul Blart Mall Cop is 464 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: a family comedy with Kevin James, often a movie that 465 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: just kind of gets ridiculed a bit Kevin James being 466 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: a lovable mall cop but takes his job a little 467 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: too seriously. And then you have Observing Report, which is 468 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,959 Speaker 1: also about a mall cop taking his job very seriously, 469 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: but it's more of a dark comedy, especially with the 470 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: scenario that he's dealing with. There's a flasher in the 471 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: movie that he's trying to take down and he goes 472 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: to really great links to enforce his duties as a 473 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: mall cop. He's also trying to land his dream girl 474 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: in the movie, and eventually he tries to make it 475 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: as a police officer. But overall just a very dark comedy. 476 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: So for that reason, I kind of see why there's 477 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: such a big difference in the movie numbers, because Paul 478 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: Blart Mallcopp made a hundred and eighty three million dollars, 479 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: which is surprising to me because that's kind of viewed 480 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: as a generally bad movie with Kevin James. And then 481 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: Observing Report brought in twenty seven million dollars, which is 482 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: hard for me to see just because I liked Observing Report. 483 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: I like a good dark comedy, and I really like 484 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: Seth Rogan in this movie, it wasn't so much of 485 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: one of his really funny kind of comedic roles. It 486 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: was just seeing him more serious. I just think maybe 487 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: audiences didn't really get the movie, or maybe just thought 488 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: the plot was kind of dumb because Paul mallcopp was 489 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: around the same time placing your right hand on your 490 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: away hip, thus really giving the illusion that you have 491 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: a gun, which, of course we both know. This one 492 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: was pretty much the sect same movie being made, except 493 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: for two different A list stars as the lead. So 494 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: you have Friends with Benefits and No Strings Attached, which 495 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: are both about pretty much having friends with benefits. One 496 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: just straight up says that in the movie title. The 497 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: other one takes that title and kind of makes it 498 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: a little bit different. Friends with Benefits actually had the 499 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: working title first called f Buddies, So just to explain 500 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: what this movie was about. So you have two movies 501 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: pretty much about the exact same thing. Audiences a torn 502 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: but you have to A list actors in each of 503 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: the movies as the leads, and it pretty much came 504 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: down to what audiences want to go see. Do you 505 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: want to see this situation with Justin Timberlake and me Lacunas, 506 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: or do you want to see this situation with Natalie 507 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: Portman and Ashton Kutcher. Both went to the box office 508 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: at the same time, and the winner is well, they 509 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: pretty much made about the same amount of money. Friends 510 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: with Benefits made a hundred and forty nine point five 511 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: million and No Strings Attached made one forty seven point 512 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 1: eight million. So you take a mediocre script, you put 513 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: some A list actors in it, and you make about 514 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: the same amount of money. Real shocker there. You know, 515 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: why don't they have to make a movie about what 516 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: happens after the big kiss? So there are a lot 517 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: of other movies that this has happened to these twin movies, 518 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: everything from like Babe and Gordy, Chasing Liberty and First Daughter, 519 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: Girl's Trip and Rough Night and even Batman Versus Superman 520 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: and Captain America Civil War, and pretty much you get 521 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: one that does way better at the box office and 522 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: one that we remember more, and the other one turns 523 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: into kind of a cash grab to ride the coattails 524 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: of the other movie. I think also what we may 525 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: see more of this is documentaries. That's a really big 526 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: thing right now. And like in two thousand nineteen where 527 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: Hula released Fire Fraud and Netflix dropped another fire documentary, 528 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: I think people are just reacting to what's going on 529 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: right now. I just thought it was really interesting that 530 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 1: why this happens and how they pretty much can't get 531 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: sued for stealing an idea. But al right, next, I'm 532 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: gonna hop into my review of the Lighthouse with Robert Pattinson. 533 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: I also asked some movie news in the Ultra all 534 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: do today, so some sequels being made that I'm pretty 535 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: excited about. Get into that next. Alright, So I watched 536 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: The Lighthouse with Robert Pattinson and William Dafoe. It's about 537 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: two lighthouse keepers who are on this four week maintenance 538 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: shift in an isolated part New England back in like 539 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: the eighteen nineties. Robert Pattinson plays this guy who's a 540 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: newcomer to help him out with the maintenance, and William 541 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: Dafoe is basically this old, crazy guy who's been working 542 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 1: there for a long time and he's kind of making 543 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: him do all this stuff around the lighthouse, and it's 544 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: pretty much them trying to keep themselves from going insane 545 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: for being so isolated and holding having the other person 546 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: to talk to. They basically argue and yell each other 547 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: throughout the whole movie and then get drunk and forget 548 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: about it. A really interesting movie and one that's really 549 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: open for a bunch of interpretations. So here's just a 550 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: little bit of The Lighthouse Left. It was a movie. 551 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: Robert Pattinson's character is kind of doing all the grunt 552 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: work and he's just being pushed around by William Dafoe. Um, 553 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: what I like him about up with the movie. First 554 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: of all, is it's just shots so differently. It's black 555 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: and white, and it's in it's a square, so pretty 556 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: much like you would see an Instagram picture. That's how 557 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: the whole movie is. I think that takes a it 558 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: getting used to just because it looks different right away. 559 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: So maybe like the first ten minutes, I was just 560 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: getting used to that. And it kind of has a 561 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: feel like a really old like fifties movie and even 562 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: like a like a Twilight Zone episode a bit. It's 563 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: very like campy in a way where there's very big 564 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: expressions and just weird things happening that come out of nowhere, really, 565 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: and it's something you kind of got to get used to. 566 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: So it's it's it's weird. It's a bit of a 567 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: weird movie. So Robert Pattinson kind of starts going crazy 568 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the movie, and like there's the 569 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: seagulls that just kind of start getting on his nerves, 570 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: and the midth around the lighthouse is that if you 571 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: kill a seagull, it's very bad luck. Well, Robert Pattinson 572 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: gets really mad and kills the seagull and everything kind 573 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: of goes downhill from there. So basically they're fighting throughout 574 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: the entire movie and just really just getting more and 575 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: more insane. They're seeing stuff out at sea, and the 576 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: only way they're kind of able to numb the pain 577 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: is by getting drunk at night and then dancing and 578 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: laughing at each other. But then at the end there's 579 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: at each other's throats again, so a bunch of really 580 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: crazy stuff happens. Um it's it's rated are so there's 581 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: some sexual content and it very out there nudity and 582 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: I'm pretty hardcore violence. Like this movie goes there. I 583 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: think overall, it's a bit of a different wash. It's 584 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 1: not a movie that really kept my attention all the 585 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: way through. I like what it did. I like that 586 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: it was different, but at times it lost me a 587 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: bit just because it's kind of weird and out there. 588 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: I think overall, what I really took away from the 589 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: movie is that the acting in this is just really great. 590 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: I like movies that have a really limited cast because 591 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: it pretty much puts those actors acting chops just on 592 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: a higher level because it's just these two guys and 593 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: a lighthouse and the acting, and this is really what 594 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: makes it. I think Robert Pattinson really kind of shows 595 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: how much he's how far he's come since Twilight, which 596 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: I was explaining in the last episode that I think 597 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: he'd be a great Batman for this reason alone, is 598 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: that he's a really great actor outside of those Twilight 599 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: movies that I think a bunch of people haven't seen yet. 600 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: So if you watch him in this, I think you 601 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: get a different side of him and kind of realize, 602 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: oh man, he can actually act pretty well. He can 603 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: get violent and get angry, and it's believable. I think 604 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: William to Foe plays a really good, cranky old At times, 605 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: it's hard for me to understand what he's saying, and 606 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: I wish I could have put on subtitles just because 607 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: they're speaking in a bit of a different accent, just 608 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: because it's back in the day. But I really like 609 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: how his character looked in the movie and overall how 610 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: he was just kind of making Robert Patton's life a 611 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: living hill. So it's pretty much just a mix of 612 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 1: kind of comedy in a way and horror and just 613 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: this old school black and white vibe. And it's even 614 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: just kind of a little bit unsettling at times what 615 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: happens in it. So it's not all overall horror movie, 616 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: but it's just kind of creepy and just old school 617 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: like that. So I'd say if maybe if you're into 618 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: older horror movies just kind of want to see the 619 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: acting chops of Robert Pattinson, maybe this movie is worth 620 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: you checking out. You can stream it right now or 621 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: rent it for like five bucks. Probably not something I 622 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: would have enjoyed more in theaters, with the fact that 623 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: I just got to put it on at home and 624 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: watch it. I liked it for that reason, but probably 625 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: not for everybody, I give it three out of five Seagulls. 626 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: I think overall is just very head scratching and you're wondering, 627 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: like what am I watching at this moment um. So 628 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: I like the fact that it is a novel movie, 629 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: something I haven't seen done like this before, a story 630 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: I had no idea where it was going to go, 631 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: but just didn't really keep me there the entire time. 632 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: So that's why I give it three out of five. 633 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for this episode. But 634 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: before I hop out of your ab some movie news 635 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: that I wanted to share with you guys. Three stories 636 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: that I just thought were interesting to me because some 637 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: movies are being made and now we have some more 638 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: details about them. So at the end of last year, 639 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: it was announced that Jackass four was going into production 640 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: with Paramount. Johnny Knoxville made the announcement and they even 641 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: had a release date for March. The thing was, we 642 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: don't really know who's all going to be in it. 643 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: They're all older now, approaching fifty by the time this 644 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: movie comes out, Johnny Knoxville, the star will be fifty, 645 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: and it wasn't really said who's going to be in 646 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: Jackass four, which they haven't put went out in a 647 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: really long time. But overall, the Jackass franchise has been 648 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: really profitable. They've made three thirty five million dollars worldwide. 649 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: But over the weekend, Stevell made a post on Instagram 650 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: with him and a Jackass hoodie and said probably wearing 651 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: this tonight. Count me in, folks. So we know now 652 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: that Stevo will be a part of this movie. Nowhere yet. 653 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: On the other people, Johnny Knoxville made some posts that's 654 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,479 Speaker 1: saying that he'll probably get some newer, younger people in 655 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: not from the other movies, into this one, just to 656 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: have some fresh blood. I think that's merely because of 657 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: the fact that they're all older now and maybe can't 658 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: take on some of the harder stunts. But what I'm 659 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: kind of wondering about is bamar Jero, who was in 660 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: all the other movies and who has recently just been 661 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: through some really tough times in and out of rehab 662 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: and had some really bad problems with the law and 663 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: his personal life. I don't know if he'll be able 664 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: to get it together for this one. But the movie 665 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: is still confirmed to come out next year, and now 666 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: Stevo is in. I also saw that the Simpsons to 667 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: movie could be in the work, so the first one 668 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: came out in two thousand seven. I'm a really big 669 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: Simpsons fan, my all time favorite show. Mainly the reason 670 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm even somewhat funny is because of things I learned 671 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: from the Simpsons, and I like the first Simpsons movie. 672 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: And another thing I just loved about the Simpsons movie 673 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: is with all the promotion around it, they turned like 674 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: seven elevens into Quickie marks. There's all kinds of cool 675 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: Simpsons merched around that time, and I like the idea 676 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: of going to the movie theater again to watch another 677 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: Simpsons movie. But this movie has been talking about for 678 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: a very long time, and Simpsons producer Al Jean recently 679 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: came out in an interview over the Weekend that said 680 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: that if the Simpsons movie Too does happen, it will 681 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: be a standalone film, so it will in no way 682 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: be a sequel to the first one, which I think 683 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: is great. I think it's been a really long time 684 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: since that one came out. To make a sequel to 685 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: that probably wouldn't work. And they're going in now of 686 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: their thirty first season of The Simpsons and I've just 687 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: really thought that a Simpsons movie would be a really 688 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: great way just to end the entire series. Like I 689 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: love the Simpsons, I'm hardcore about maybe the first season 690 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: one through fifteen. I'll now go watch the Simpsons whenever 691 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: they have a pretty big episode, when they're trying something 692 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: new or something different or a cool guest star, I'll 693 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: go watch it now. But I can pretty much recite 694 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: every single early Simpsons episode from heart like to the 695 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: point where I know every single episode title. That's how 696 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: big of a Simpsons fan I am. So the different 697 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: thing now is that twentieth Century Fox has now been 698 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: bought out by Disney, and Disney has all the streaming rights, 699 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: so those all the seasons of The Simpsons, and now 700 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: they have changed twentieth Century Fox to just be twentieth 701 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: Century Studios. So if they made The Simpsons to sequel, 702 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm curious to see whether it will be like a 703 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: straight Disney plus release or they'll actually put it out 704 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: in theaters under twentieth Century Studios. And that's even if 705 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: Disney wants to make it, which I think them owning 706 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: them now has a really big factor to play into it, 707 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: because Disney's remaking all their movies, right, how live action. 708 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: I think if you have such a big property as 709 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: the Simpsons and now people that are reintroduced to it 710 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: on the Disney Plus streaming platform, that there's a really 711 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: big opportunity there to make a new Simpsons movie that 712 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: I think they'll hop on and I hope they do, 713 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: and I hope they do it. Justice Screamville, No Screenville. 714 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: And the last thing in movie news is that the 715 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: Batman suit has leaked. I was talking about this all 716 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: last episode. If you missed that, go back and listen 717 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: to that episode. But I thought the suit looked pretty good. 718 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: It looks pretty bulky, but not like ben Affleck bulky, 719 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: and I like kind of the ruggedness of the Batman 720 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: logo on the chest, and overall I thought it kind 721 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: of reminded me of like Shredder suit from Teenage Musion 722 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles, just because of the arms kind of had 723 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: like these blade things on them, and then on like 724 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: the four arms are like these really kind of shredder 725 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: like things on them, the ears are very pointy. But 726 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: I think overall, from these first initial looks at it, 727 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,719 Speaker 1: you also just have to remember that these are set photos, 728 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: so what this is actually in the movies and on film, 729 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: it will look a lot more different and probably a 730 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: lot more cooler. The main thing I took away from 731 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: it is there are no nipples, so that's a good sign. 732 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: All right, that's it for movie news. I gotta give 733 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: my Instagram shot out of the week now to shell 734 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: Bell one thirteen, who posted a picture of their car 735 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: dashboard that they were listening to the episode. So that's 736 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: always awesome for me to see. If you want Instagram shadow, 737 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,719 Speaker 1: it's really easy to do. Just take a picture if 738 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: you're listening on your car of the dashboard of the 739 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: episode you're listening to, or just screenshot a in the 740 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app and tag me on Instagram at 741 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: Mike Destro and I give you a shout out next week. 742 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed this week's episode.
