Speaker 3: Watch movies for a living.

83
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: We have on this podcast three different people who saw

84
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: The Pope's Exorcis this year, which seems impossible to me,

85
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: and yet here we are.

86
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 7: Oh wait, I just remembered another movie I saw and

87
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 7: immediately forgot and it continued.

88
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Just write it down, bright, don't forget. I did see

89
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 1: the trailer where Russell Crow says talked to my boss

90
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: the Hope, and that's I felt like that was all

91
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: I needed to see. He does say that in the movie.

92
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: That's the only review I need for that movie.

93
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 6: He does say it in the movie, And I thought

94
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 6: it was gonna be way scarier than it was. It

95
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 6: was super campy.

96
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 3: In The Pope's Exorcist. But that's why it's so good,

97
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 3: because it's a.

98
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 6: Perfect airplane movie. You know, you're gonna laugh a little

99
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 6: about how bad the actors are. You're like Russell Crowe,

100
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 6: a like award winning actor in this movie with the

101
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 6: worst actress of all time. Like the mother in the

102
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 6: movie is horrible. It's like she's never been in a

103
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 6: movie before, and she's like, my kids, my husband died

104
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 6: and I was gifted this house in Italy.

105
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: What do I do?

106
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 6: It's haunted? And yeah, and then some like Latino Pope

107
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 6: also comes in and or not Pope, uh priest, and

108
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 6: I should know who wants to follow in the footstets

109
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 6: of versus Crow the Pope's Exorcist. He wants to be

110
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 6: the next popes Exorcist. But he's a bad person because

111
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 6: he he had sex and pre star an't supposed to

112
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 6: have sex.

113
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, not on my watch, not my

114
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: Pope's Exorcist.

115
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: All right?

116
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: That that was not the most successful movie that came

117
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: out this year.

118
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 5: It wasn't even the most successful exorcism movie that came

119
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 5: out of the snow.

120
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: That's true, although the other one didn't do that well

121
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: did it?

122
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 8: The also Yeah, and it was bad. It was so

123
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 8: because the reason I like The Pope's Exorcist is because

124
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 8: it is camp the exorcist believer is just boring schlog,

125
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 8: you know, just nothing. So when Russell Crowe comes out

126
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 8: and he's like John McClain just being kind of an exorcist,

127
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 8: you know, yeah, then oh okay, I could buy that.

128
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 8: But believers so boring.

129
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 5: You know, they should have had the end of Exorcist

130
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 5: believer of Russell Crowe show up like Nick Fury.

131
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: Like we're putting together, put together.

132
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so yeah, like do Fast and Furious eyes

133
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: the Exorcist universe?

134
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 6: Not enough, not enough on enough, Wow, I can't speak.

135
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 6: Not on enough list from the Google doc I didn't

136
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 6: see enough Fast and Furious on the list.

137
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Well came out this.

138
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 6: Year and it was really good.

139
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: I was shocked to remember that it came out this year.

140
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: It was the number five movie at the global box office,

141
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: pulling in seven hundred and four million dollars, but it

142
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: didn't even like crack the top fifteen in the United States.

143
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: So this was the year that like the Fast franchise

144
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: officially ran out of gas. That's right, it's a car

145
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: playoffoard at the US box office. Nobody, Nobody care Well were.

146
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 7: One of the first movies to like really first big

147
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 7: movies to come back after the pandemic like that people

148
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 7: were actually actually wanted to see that was.

149
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: Past nine nine.

150
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was nine baby. Yeah, that was like the.

151
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 6: First in like may I.

152
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: Think, yeah, I'm missing some time they're cranking these babies out.

153
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, and maybe because Fast nine was.

154
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 7: That Fast night when they went to space, right, that was.

155
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 6: It was like they went too far. They were like,

156
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 6: how how did we go so far? We strayed so

157
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 6: far from the plot, but they brought it back in

158
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 6: Fast ten. I don't think people gave Fast enough faith,

159
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 6: Like they didn't trust in the process that Fast ten

160
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 6: would be better than Fast nine.

161
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: So well, Last ten is a two parter, right, Yeah,

162
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: there's another part coming out, so I will I will

163
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 2: reserve judgment.

164
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: Spider Man Across the Universe or Across the Spider Verse

165
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: also a two parter, like first part of a two parter,

166
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: which I possible, yeah yeah, and Mession impossible.

167
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

168
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: Across the Spider Verse is like very much like it

169
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: just ends in the middle of a movie plot. It's

170
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: just like, oh, well, I guess we're out of time here.

171
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: Well we'll do another one. And it's very like the

172
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: fact that it.

173
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: Was as successful as it was, like both successful box

174
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: office wise, but also just I think it was widely

175
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: agreed on as like a very successful film is pretty wild.

176
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: I think we're more on board with that because of

177
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: streaming maybe.

178
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 5: But so that that sequel won't be out for a while,

179
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 5: I don't think, because they were saying it was going

180
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 5: to come out next March, and then I think Hailey

181
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 5: Steinfelder someone said she hadn't even recorded her lines for

182
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 5: it yet, which would come before the animation obviously. So yeah,

183
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 5: we're probably not going to see that in our lifetime.

184
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, just generally, did you guys feel like there were

185
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: any movies that I mean, I guess we're already discovering that,

186
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: but movies that like kind of snuck up and you

187
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: or like came out and you didn't even notice they

188
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: came out.

189
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got I got one for sure.

190
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: What's that?

191
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 7: So it's a movie called Cobweb. It's a very small

192
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 7: horror movie that came out the day that Oppenheimer and

193
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 7: Barbie came out, and just.

194
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: No one knows.

195
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I think it got a theatrical release, but yeah,

196
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 7: like who would know.

197
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you think those producers were trying to like

198
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 5: make Barbenheimer Web happen.

199
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't.

200
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: Like.

201
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 7: I guess they couldn't. It's not up to them when

202
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 7: it comes out or whatever. But I would have I

203
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 7: would have moved.

204
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

205
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 6: Well, maybe they were like because the strike was like impending,

206
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 6: they were like, well, this is a shot yeah before.

207
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: A strike while the iron Yeah, July was a wild time.

208
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: That was also when my favorite film of the year.

209
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: I guess we can talk about our top ten. The

210
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: Sound of Freedom came out.

211
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 7: Jack.

212
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: That was not on Mike Jack, right right, I talk

213
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: to you guys about Jack. If I talk to you

214
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: guys that how good that one is off Mike. That

215
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: is one that came out though, and it is in

216
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: the top ten I think top twelve US box office.

217
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 6: It feels like it came out forever ago. Every time

218
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 6: I hear it, I'm like, didn't that come out in

219
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 6: like twenty twenty?

220
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 3: People?

221
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: It's a classic. It feels like it's always been there,

222
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: like the Bible.

223
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: Becca.

224
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 7: I feel like people talked about it for like four

225
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 7: months and it was only in the theater for like

226
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 7: six weeks.

227
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: Maybe Yeah, well, all right.

228
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 8: I was just gonna say when they were talking about it,

229
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 8: they were talking about like theaters in quotation marks like

230
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 8: sabotaging the film or something. Right, it was never about

231
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 8: the movie. It was about like some conspiracy around.

232
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,359
Speaker 6: The movie, the movie being sabotage.

233
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the people who and the pandemic needed something

234
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: else to plan, and so they planned, you know, stop

235
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: stopping that movie from being as successful as it should

236
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: have been.

237
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: It should have dusted.

238
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: Oppenheimer and Barbie in my opinion, all right, do we

239
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: want to should we go through the like critical top ten,

240
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: should we go through the box office top ten? Stop

241
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: where we have? Or how about does everybody want to

242
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: just go around and like give a stray observation about

243
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: a movie they saw this year? Sure, astray? Did you

244
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: see any stray movies?

245
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? I would say every movie I watched was a stray.

246
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: I mean, actually, there's two movies I saw that I

247
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: would say, really, and this just might be from my perspective,

248
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 2: sort of controlled the universal zeitgeist. And obviously that was

249
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: Barbie and Oppenheimer what And I do think now this

250
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: also might be sort of my own perspective on things

251
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 2: that it was very hard I think this year to

252
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: compete with those two films. Yeah, and now was that

253
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: sort of a crazy opinion.

254
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: Now so successful.

255
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like the rest of the year, like

256
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 2: a lot of films fell under the shadow of those

257
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: two giants, if you will. The Barbenheimer epidemic is sort

258
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: of what we experienced, and thus you did not really

259
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: get to enjoy other films. And and then and then

260
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 2: on top of all that, a film a TV writers

261
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: and actors strike happened, which then really really sort of

262
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 2: snubbed out a lot of stuff because no one could

263
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: promote it. You couldn't really talk about it to be

264
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 2: in solidarity with the strikes. So we in a very

265
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: interesting year.

266
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 7: You know.

267
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: It came in so hot with Barbie and Oppenheimer, and

268
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: then it was just like, oh, radio silence, you can't

269
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: talk about anything else. So I really no one had

270
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 2: a chance outside of Barbenheimer.

271
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: And I was in such solidarity with the writers that

272
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even talk about movies in my personal life.

273
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 3: I was just doing I mean.

274
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: That's what Jack. Yeah, you're being sarcastic, but I actually

275
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: do hope you were in solidarity.

276
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: Yo. I went and saw, you know, movies and then

277
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: just came out and guilted anybody who was like talking

278
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: about them.

279
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: To you know, you weren't supposed to go see movies.

280
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: I think that's like the whole point strike.

281
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: Is that right?

282
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: Interesting? Yeah, you weren't supposed to do anything. You were't

283
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: supposed to exist. Wow, you're a bad person.

284
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 6: You were supposed to actually just figure out how to disappear.

285
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: Just h I think I mentioned at one point like

286
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: I didn't realize Killers of the Flower Moon was out

287
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: and like until after it was out, And that's the

288
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: sort of thing like I would normally get up for,

289
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: but I really it was really embarrassing how much I'm

290
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: reliant on media like PR teams, because I almost completely

291
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: missed that.

292
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 7: I mean, that's understandable because it's an Apple production and

293
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 7: nobody Apparently there's lots of good shows on Apple that

294
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 7: no one knows about because they.

295
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 6: No one wants to pay for it.

296
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: I don't know.

297
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 7: It's very weird because Apple is known for their marketing prowess,

298
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 7: but not with not with their TV wing.

299
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 3: I guess they want to keep it a secret.

300
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: That's how you make something that's really cool.

301
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: Actually, I'll shout out some Apple TV television I really

302
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: enjoyed on.

303
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: The streaming episode.

304
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: Yes, save its streaming episode. What are we talking about here.

305
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: Damn it. I know who I am, what I am. Okay, Fine,

306
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: I won't acknowledge TV at all.

307
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 6: Okay, I will say the barbin t stuff though, I

308
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 6: feel like even made me forget about what movies had

309
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 6: come out pre Barbenheimer. Yeah, like I really had a

310
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 6: dig on a list and be like, okay, what was

311
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 6: I marketed? What did I actually watch? And like go

312
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 6: into theaters, Like I forgot Fast Sex was this year

313
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 6: and I like made a big deal. I took like

314
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 6: ten people in the movies. We we did a whole thing.

315
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 7: It took me like six months to get around to

316
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 7: watching Fast Dicks, and I was excited to watch Fast Yes,

317
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 7: Like it just took me that long.

318
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 6: Like Magic Mike Slaust Dance, I forgot about that.

319
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this year so fun.

320
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 6: That was a great and like fun.

321
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: But we got to see Channing Tatum really really sort

322
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: of dance up on Salma Hayk, which in my opinion

323
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: was like worth the weird plot.

324
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, it was one hundred that like ten minute

325
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 6: dancing and it was beautifully ten minutes like they needed

326
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 6: it to be. It was not. It was savoring. You

327
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 6: could just and they give it to you right at

328
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 6: the beginning too. They were like, we're in this.

329
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: You don't have to wait, all right, should we take

330
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: a let's take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll

331
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: talk about some themes we saw across the top movies

332
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: of the year.

333
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 3: We'll be.

334
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: And we're back. And so I was just looking. I

335
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: was looking through the critics Top ten list, like a

336
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: compendium of the critic top ten list. Metacritic used to

337
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: do this. Then they redesigned Metacritic along with the overarching

338
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: idea to make it a worse website, I think, and

339
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: it's just like not, they don't do that anymore. And

340
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: I'd seen, I think the top five. I think i'd

341
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: seen all the movies in the top five, and then

342
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, a smattering across you got Chick Killers of

343
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: the Flower Moon at number one, you got Shere Oppenheimer

344
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: at number two, got Made December Past Lives, the Korean film,

345
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: and then Barbie coming in hot number five, and then

346
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, across the Spider Verses in there at number twelve.

347
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: So I feel like, I mean, the one most notable

348
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: thing is that, like there's a lot of highly successful

349
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: movies in the top ten and that doesn't usually happen,

350
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: doesn't always doesn't usually happen. Also the Asteroid City, the

351
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: latest Wes Anderson movies, like at number eight. I did

352
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: not like that movie, but people apparently.

353
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 6: It was bad.

354
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: I fucking hated it.

355
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 3: What I don't You got to.

356
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 7: Put something on the list. You gotta put something on the.

357
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: List of like we got this number eight spot, we

358
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: don't know what to do with it.

359
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 6: I made a category that was movies that felt so

360
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 6: pushed that made me made it impossible to watch, which

361
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 6: as Asteroid City, even though I did watch it. I

362
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 6: put no hard feelings on that list. Anyone but you,

363
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 6: The newest rom com with What's Her Face? Sidney Sweeney, Ferrari,

364
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 6: Flaming Hot White Men, Can't Jump in eighty for Brady.

365
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 6: To me, those were supposed to be blockbusters and I

366
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 6: hate it. They looked so bad. I hated all of them.

367
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you they You felt like they were pushed

368
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: too hard. They were just like they were like.

369
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 6: These are gonna be so fun funny, or like some

370
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 6: of them were Oscar baity, Like I feel like Ferrari's

371
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 6: really big Oscar bait and yeah, yeah.

372
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: I feel like the theme if I had to summarize thematically,

373
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: like some common threads. I'd say, one is, are we

374
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: the bad guys? Like I know I could like that.

375
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: I keep bringing up that Mitchell and Web sketch where

376
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: they're Nazis and they're like, wait, are we?

377
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 3: Are we the bad guys?

378
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: Because they have like skulls on all their uh Nazi uniforms.

379
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 7: Footnotes of it every show.

380
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: Yeah you can, because it's gonna keep coming up. But

381
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: like I don't know, uh kills the flower Moon making

382
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: ugly bed teeth. Leonardo DiCaprio, the protagonist of that movie

383
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: is wild. I don't think there's ever been a more

384
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: like unlikable protagonist since maybe Dan Santa for Santa University

385
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: fans like claims he can read and does look like shit,

386
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: but the parts where he claims he can read aren't convincing.

387
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: Oppenheimer Obviously, the whole point is Oppenheimer being like, maybe

388
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: that was a bad idea, and then like America as one,

389
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: just like raking him over the cols. You know, May

390
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: December obviously not a super charming or super like easy

391
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: to like protagonists.

392
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 3: There's Child Predator.

393
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: And then you know, a not very likable movie. Star,

394
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: and then there's there's another one's zone of interest, uh

395
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: that I feel like is a similar plot to Barbie

396
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: and I haven't I Haven't seen Zone. The subject is

397
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: a Nazi officer who's trying to create a little like

398
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: zone of peace and normalcy right next to Auschwitz, like

399
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: where his family lives, which feels like an appropriate metaphor

400
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: for I think. I think it's trying to be a

401
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: metaphor for like the modern condition of I'm an American

402
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: this one I'm yeah. And that Barbie is similarly like

403
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: lives in her own dream world that is, you know,

404
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: mainly used to feel consumption. It's obviously not as bleak

405
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: as Auschwitz, but I feel like, I don't know, there's

406
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: You guys were talking about the movie Cobweb before we

407
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: start recording, and you say gaslighting, And I feel like

408
00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: gaslighting is a like both coming coming to terms with

409
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: being the bad guy of history and also like gaslighting

410
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: and being gas lilt like it seems to be seems

411
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: to be a central thing that people are kind of

412
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: coming around.

413
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 3: Two.

414
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: That's so that's my theme of movies in twenty twenty three.

415
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 8: I have one for horror. I don't know if it

416
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 8: ever went away. But I feel like exorcism movies, or

417
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 8: at least like religion and horror was kind of a

418
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 8: big deal in twenty twenty three. I'm looking at the

419
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 8: list here and it's like the none to Pope's Exorcists

420
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 8: that we just talked about, the sequel to the original Exorcist,

421
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 8: and then even like we started the year off with

422
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 8: Knock at the Cabin. Do you remember that movie? Yeah one, Yeah, yeah,

423
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 8: where it was a group of essentially religious fundamentalists torturing

424
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 8: a like gay family and they were proven right and

425
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 8: they're right, yeah, exactly, and it's like, I don't know,

426
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 8: it just feels like Evil Dead Rise also different version,

427
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 8: but it's like kind of possession and exorcism and religion

428
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 8: coming into horror. It feels like previous years it would

429
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 8: be more focused on like slashers or existential horror, but

430
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 8: this year religion felt very, very big this year. I

431
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 8: don't know.

432
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 6: Why, Probably because of like satanic panic coming back a

433
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 6: little bit, or you know, given the political climate people reacting.

434
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm a trad trad wife, so yeah, talks.

435
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 7: It's something that will always be like when you when

436
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 7: you sort of indoctrinate, speaking of gas lighting document children

437
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 7: into religions with a lot of spooky imagery that's baked in.

438
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 7: That's I feel like that's just gonna effective throughout life,

439
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 7: just pulling from that and throwing that in a film

440
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 7: and like, yeah, that's gonna hit something, you know, deep

441
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 7: into subconscious probably.

442
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, spooky.

443
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 5: And did you guys see skin a rink?

444
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: I don't even know what you just said.

445
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 5: I would hear about it though, it was like, yeah,

446
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 5: it became a big thing on TikTok. It was like

447
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 5: a Canadian guy made it and it's a it's a

448
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 5: horror movie about essentially the plot, if you can call

449
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 5: it that, it's just like a kid, like a four

450
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 5: year old kid and his sister's parents just disappear from

451
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 5: their house and it's all. It's basically like an art

452
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 5: house movie, Like you don't even see any human faces really,

453
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 5: but it's very much like like what you're saying about,

454
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 5: like the things that scary you as a kid, being

455
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 5: religion coming back like this feels like a movie someone

456
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 5: made because of they were able to kind of act

457
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 5: the things that scared them as a kid. Like it

458
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 5: feels like you're in a nightmare you had and like,

459
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 5: you know, when you were six years old or something.

460
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. It was so I'd read a lot

461
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 4: about it, but it was.

462
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 3: It was.

463
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 4: It was better than I thought it would be.

464
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 5: It was actually like I thought it'd be a bit

465
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 5: more like an intellectual exercise, but it was.

466
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 4: It was really evocative. I thought it was good and

467
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 4: uh and worth checking out.

468
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 8: I heard completely mixed reviews on that one, where they

469
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 8: described it exactly how you did of Oh, there's not

470
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 8: really a plaud It's about like recreating a nightmare from childhood.

471
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 8: And half of the people I talked to absolutely loved it,

472
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 8: and then the other half just despised that movie.

473
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 7: So yeah, I love divisive movie. If your movie has

474
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 7: a sixty percent on Rotten Tomatoes, it's probably my favorite movie,

475
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 7: something about sixty percent.

476
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: Five Nights of Freddy's was the big like horror movie.

477
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 6: Okay, I don't know how I felt about it. It

478
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 6: was very it was like a fun ride, but I

479
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 6: hated the ending. I was like, really, this is how

480
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 6: we chose.

481
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: To end the movie.

482
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: And I didn't see it, but.

483
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 6: Apparently it's like very culty like there's like a whole

484
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 6: like underground community of people who are fans of this. Yeah,

485
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 6: and that's why I watched it because I kept hearing

486
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 6: about this, like people who were like making fan fiction

487
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 6: and like all this stuff. I was like, what are

488
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 6: they talking about? So I watched the movie and I

489
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 6: was like, I still don't get it, and I was

490
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 6: like deep on Reddit trying to figure out what the

491
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 6: fuck is this about. Yeah, I still don't get it.

492
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 6: I guess it's based off a video game.

493
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 7: And that's why the video game Lowreer goes so deep

494
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 7: for so many years now that like you're just here

495
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 7: in the dust, here in the dust.

496
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 6: Yeah. I was like, there's nothing I can do. I've

497
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 6: just been sucked in and I give up.

498
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: It's but I do think it like ties back to

499
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: what you're you guys were talking about, because that's a

500
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: like Chuck E. Cheese style environment and Chuck E Cheese

501
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: style animatronics like come to life and kill right, which

502
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: I feel like it is probably something that occurred to

503
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: a child who spent time around Chuck E.

504
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 3: Cheese.

505
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: Well that's why they.

506
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 6: Kill, Oh you mean like in real life? Yeah, yeah,

507
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 6: like their child and that's why they killed because they

508
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 6: want Indoctor another child.

509
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, and but like a lot of the

510
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, not just in horror, but you know, Barbie

511
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 1: obviously a childhood toy, Super Mario Brothers, childhood toy. Like

512
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: this is the top movies that the worldwide box office Barbie,

513
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: Super Mario Brothers movie, Oppenheimer. We all played with our

514
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: Oppenheimer action figures growing up.

515
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 6: Absolutely scientists, Truman.

516
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 7: With laser sounds.

517
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 6: Wait, speaking of games, I saw that you had Jack

518
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 6: on the dock. One of the themes of being like

519
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 6: brand movies. Did anyone watch the Tetris movie?

520
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: There was a Tetris movie, Yeah, with what's his name?

521
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 4: The guy who played Triston?

522
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, what you said, what's the same the guy played

523
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 5: Elton John right, Elton?

524
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

525
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 7: You know what I just I just realized what my

526
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 7: my theme for this year was is brand movies. How

527
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 7: many brand movies were this year?

528
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 3: A lot?

529
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: There was.

530
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 7: There was Cheetos, there was Tetris.

531
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 6: Now I forgot about the Nike movie.

532
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 3: Barbie. It was like kind of.

533
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 7: Movie.

534
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: It was very like Mario is like, you know, a

535
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: brand movie in the sense that it's like taking place

536
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: in the world of the brand. But like Barbie is

537
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: like a self aware, like meta commentary where in which

538
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: the brand exists and people like, granted, nobody's like making

539
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: a claim that this is actually how Barbie's like came

540
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: to be or anything like that. Well I guess they did, right,

541
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: Like they have a character who is the veteran Barbie.

542
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, it was kind of the ultimate brand

543
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: movie and also the ultimate movie, and then it was

544
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: the most.

545
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 7: Of twenty three.

546
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, is branding.

547
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 5: I mean basically Matt Damon plays the same character in

548
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 5: Air and Oppenheimer.

549
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, the rude to all Evil is actually marketing.

550
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: We're learned Oppenheimer's about the creation of the American brand.

551
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know, but I.

552
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 6: Brought up Tetris to say that it was awful.

553
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 2: It was.

554
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 6: It was some of the worst acting I have seen

555
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 6: in a long time. I was shook at how.

556
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: Bad it was.

557
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 6: I really love hated the plot hole of like Taron

558
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 6: Egerton's character marrying this Japanese woman and like living in

559
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 6: Japan and basically working for his own Japanese gaming company

560
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 6: with his wife, and that's kind of I mean, obviously

561
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 6: it's based on a real story, but point being, he

562
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 6: is married to this Japanese woman, they have children. He

563
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 6: speaks no Japanese. They live in Japan. He speaks no Japanese.

564
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 6: He speaks only English to his children. His children only

565
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 6: speak Japanese to him. So it's clear he supposedly in

566
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 6: this universe understands Japanese, but he they obviously the actor

567
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 6: did not want to like learn how to speak like

568
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 6: any lines in Japanese, or like didn't have the capacity.

569
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 6: I don't know, but I thought it was the biggest

570
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 6: plot hole that he had this Japanese wife that only

571
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 6: spoke in Japanese and his children only spooking Japanese, and

572
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 6: they lived in Japan, and he couldn't speak any Japanese.

573
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 6: He like talked to Japanese. I mean the people of Nintendo.

574
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 6: He like went and talked to them, and he came

575
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 6: in there.

576
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: With the American energy. It's English, yeah, and they all.

577
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 6: Spoke to him in Japanese. I was like, what is.

578
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: Oh, sure that's not historically because like I know people

579
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: who like only speak to their parents in English, but

580
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: then their parents speak back to them in their native language.

581
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 3: You know.

582
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 6: I don't know, I don't know if it was historically accurate,

583
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 6: but I thought it was very funny and very off

584
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 6: putting that he just kept being so American, storming into

585
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 6: the rooms being like I need to get shit done

586
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 6: and I will, you know, solve these problems and like

587
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 6: be the best business person ever and like Russia and

588
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 6: Tokyo and was just like in his American way and

589
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 6: like refuse to like learn any of the cultural touch

590
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 6: points or languages of any of the things that he did. So,

591
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 6: but let me know, guys, if that was historically accurate.

592
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: He played the tall, skinny Tetris block right.

593
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 5: Like this, Yeah, the l maybe that actor was just like,

594
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 5: you know, not going to learn a second language.

595
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 6: For how I felt about it, Like it's not like a.

596
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 4: Rock amand too on the back burner.

597
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like it felt like more that he did not

598
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 6: want to and or was not capable of maybe jizzing

599
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 6: up a little you know, Japanese versus it being historically accurate,

600
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 6: and just it felt like when you walk it, that's

601
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 6: how it felt, and it fell off putting.

602
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 7: I love the level of historical accuracy that you were

603
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 7: checking for in.

604
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 6: It felt so off putting, Like the way the kids

605
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 6: spoke to him, the way he spoke to his wife.

606
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 6: I was like, how are you moving around to Japan

607
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 6: just being This.

608
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 7: Is not how I remember the story of Tetris.

609
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come

610
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: back and look at some more trends and final thoughts.

611
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back, and Jim, you

612
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: had another good trend that I noticed. I guess I

613
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: didn't notice that I was confused by in a recent

614
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: when I saw the trailer for The Mean Girl's Musical,

615
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: which completely hides the fact that it's a musical, and

616
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: so it just seems like a remake of Mean Girls,

617
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: but like without an original take on Mean Girls in

618
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: any way, it's just like and the trailers like from

619
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: the mind of Tina Fey. I was like, yeah, no,

620
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: that was the whole point of the first Mean Girl.

621
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: What the fuck are you guys doing here?

622
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 2: It's a musical now and it's also a hit on Broadway,

623
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: so what do you Yeah.

624
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm complaining that they're hiding the fact that it's.

625
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 2: No it literally says mean Girls and musical on all

626
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 2: the posters and if you're checked in and doesn't happen.

627
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 5: But the trailer, yeah, there's no songs in the trailer

628
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 5: and like they did the same thing with Wonka.

629
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 6: Apparently this has been a cultural commentary on TikTok. They

630
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 6: talked about it with the color purple too.

631
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't show musical parts usually in trailers. It's

632
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 2: just sort of a given it's a musical.

633
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 6: I do think it's because musicals have not been doing

634
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 6: very well.

635
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, West Side Story in the Heights. In the Heights

636
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: both did battye horrible.

637
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were big ones, like the Hugh Jackman Hugh

638
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 5: Jackman plays a circus guy.

639
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a big hit.

640
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that was fun.

641
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 6: That was a good one.

642
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: I had no idea that Pope's Exorcist was a musical

643
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: for you guys.

644
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 6: I mean Russell Crowe. We remember Jean Valjean.

645
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: One of our great musical performances, just just because it's

646
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: like he brings the energy of like if you asked

647
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: me to just sing, like that's kind of like singing. Yeah. Nah,

648
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: Well the guy historically wouldn't have taken voice lessons, So

649
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: why should I be able to sing?

650
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 2: So why should he hear?

651
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 4: Well, he has a band, he's a singer in a band.

652
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 4: He's one of our great musicians.

653
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, one of our great singers, of our great

654
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: Broadway stars. But yeah, so I don't know any other trends,

655
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: any any other movie observations.

656
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: That people can. I name some movies I liked. Yeah,

657
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 2: May December. I didn't understand anything that was going on.

658
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 2: Great film, actually really Yeah, it's it's a really.

659
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: Piano music fucking freaked me out.

660
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know why Todd Haynes decided that was

661
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 2: the choice, but I think he was just trying to

662
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 2: go like full camp. I don't know what was happening,

663
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 2: because I was like, what's what do we No one's

664
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: well here? Yeah, And I think it worked because the

665
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: music made me feel unwell, and I think that was

666
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 2: the whole point.

667
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 8: Is it a comedy?

668
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm just it's not a comedy.

669
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 6: No, it's a drama. It is very drama.

670
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 3: Okay, just describe it as a dark comedy.

671
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 2: There's nothing funny happening at all.

672
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 6: It's based on that lady who went to jail for

673
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 6: having sex with her students, the marrying.

674
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: Her, which admittedly was hilarious.

675
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 2: But no, I will say Charlie, Charlie. Yeah, her name

676
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 2: is like Trum Maryland, Timbo or something like that. But

677
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: I will say Charlie Melton incredible performance. Have never ever

678
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: thought about him ever in my life, And I was like,

679
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 2: he is doing.

680
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 6: A lot, I thought, and that's it Dale?

681
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: Is that it? Though?

682
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 3: Because I felt like I didn't watch one Verdale.

683
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 6: He was in one drama with like Yrsi.

684
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: Was like, I didn't watch a ton, like a metric

685
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: ton of Riverdale. I watched a lot of Riverdale, love

686
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: each episode like three to four times.

687
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 6: And I think he was also in what's it called

688
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 6: the Sabrina Show, Sabrina the New Sabrina, the Teenage Witch

689
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 6: on Netflix. They had like a crossover like Riverdale and Sabrina.

690
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 5: Don't pretend that you didn't watch far enough to see

691
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 5: jug Head doing an alien autopsy.

692
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,680

702
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,360

00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: I thought it was fun.

00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,520

Speaker 1: a plane and that was fine. Just going back to

730
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: the theory of religion, I realized The nun Too was

731
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: like a massive hit. It was made two hundred and

732
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: sixty eight million dollars.

733
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 8: All of those always get like just so much, but

734
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 8: not the Pup's exorst do we think, why do we

735
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 8: think what happened for people?

736
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 3: Just not?

737
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 4: Well?

738
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 6: People really love the nun To one. So I think, you.

739
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 8: Know, when's the Conjuring Universe too?

740
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: Right?

741
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 7: Yeah?

742
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: It is the.

743
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 6: Because there was not to spoil Conjuring Cinematic Universe, but

744
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 6: there was like.

745
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 8: A post credits scene where the main character from the

746
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 8: Conjuring like answers the phone, is like, oh, I'll be

747
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 8: right there or something. It's like, oh shit, they're really

748
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 8: bringing everyone together.

749
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 6: It is the Conjuring Cinematic Universe. I'm telling you.

750
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 2: Well, in that regard, I would recommend The Blackening. Very

751
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 2: funny movie. It's a horror kind of.

752
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 5: Way better, way better than the screen movie that came

753
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 5: out this year too, The Blackening.

754
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah yeah. And then also they cloned Tyrone.

755
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 2: I feel like people slept On and they cloned Tyrone.

756
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 2: That was an incredible good They cloned Tyrone was great.

757
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 3: It's just like came raight to Netflix, right.

758
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, yeah, that's a tough way to

759
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: release a film.

760
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: And then I would also, yeah, Past Lives incredible.

761
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 3: Past Lives is so good.

762
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm gonna have a controversial opinion. I did not

763
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 6: like it. I didn't like it, and I feel like

764
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 6: I'm the only person who didn't like it. I really

765
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 6: wanted to. I love A twenty four. It felt like

766
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 6: it was like a film Buffs kind of movie. But

767
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 6: I went in and I was kind of like, I

768
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 6: don't know, it left me something to be desired. Maybe

769
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 6: I need to give it another watch.

770
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a little like slow. Maybe I can

771
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: talk about watches with another person who I was recommending

772
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: it to, and that's like the worst way to watch

773
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: a movie because they're like, oh, God, speed it up,

774
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: something better happened here fast. I think they ended up

775
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: liking it, but not as much as me. But I

776
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: will say that one also top five in critics picks.

777
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: And it also I feel like ties into the thing

778
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: about like, I don't know, America not being a good place.

779
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: Like our protagonist moves to America to be a Pulitzer

780
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: Prize winner and is like, I don't know, falls back

781
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: and forth for her childhood sweetheart. But it's also like

782
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: just his like very traditional Korean energy, as she puts it,

783
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: just so Korean.

784
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,959
Speaker 3: But I, yeah, I think it all.

785
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: It all fits together of people just being like America

786
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: fucking sucks.

787
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 6: It's a very real story and I appreciated that about it,

788
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 6: But it was I think maybe a little too slow

789
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 6: for me, and I wanted to love it more than

Speaker 3: I found it very comforting.

833
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: I just yeah, I was frustrated with like one aspect

834
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: of it, and I'm making that be like and that's

835
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: why it sucked, which is definitely not true.

836
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 2: It's fun, a pendifically pleasant film, and it's all it is.

837
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: The thing I go to Wes Anderson movies for is

838
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: like a esthetic, Like he creates a very good, like

839
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: specific aesthetic, and this one he does an amazing job

840
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: of creating like a very specific, like we've never seen

841
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: desert storybook weird Wes Anderson, and like this is a

842
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: fun execution of that for sure.

843
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,760
Speaker 6: This one felt the most like Texas to his roots.

844
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,560

00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: cut that alien oft is the alien and it was

846
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:34,680

Speaker 1: I wasn't crazy about, but it we covered on the

869
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: show because it was like written by somebody who was

870
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: like a writing in the tradition of fatal attraction and

871
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But when it happened to that, I

872
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, yeah, why hasn't.

873
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,719
