1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie podcast. I

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike, and today I want to

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: share with you my yes my top ten most anticipated

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: movies of twenty twenty four, the movies I'm looking forward

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: to the most and the ones that get me out

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: of bed in the morning and make me want to

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: do this podcast. In the movie review, we'll be talking

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: about Mean Girls, not the one from two thousand and four,

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: but the one from twenty twenty four, which is a

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: musical adaptation of the movie that said. We'll get into

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: all of that and then into the trailer bark. Let's

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: talk about a new movie starring Kristen Stewart called Love

13
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: Lies Bleeding. Thank you for being here, thank you for

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: being subscribed, Shout out to the Monday Morning Movie crew.

15
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: And now let's talk movies.

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast,

17
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: much movie knowledge, he's basically.

20
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: Like a walking IMTB with glasses. From Nashville Podcast Network.

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: This is Movie Mike Movie Podcasts.

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite episodes to do. Every

23
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: single year. I usually do it a little bit earlier.

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: But here's what happens all the time is they start

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: changing all of these release dates, and then I put

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: the episode out, and then everything changes when people go

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: back and listen to it. So I've waited a little

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: bit to do this episode, and I'm ready to get

29
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: it out. I want to share with you the ones

30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: the movies I'm the most excited to see, not what

31
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: all the critics are saying are going to be the

32
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: best movies of the year, the ones that I'm actually

33
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 1: genuinely excited about going to the theater to watch. Because

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: as many movies that I watch every single year, which

35
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: is usually around the hundred mark about new movies, about

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,639
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty total that I end up seeing,

37
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: which involves going back and rewatching movies or rebe there's

38
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: a movie I haven't seen, I get to a point

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: that there are some movies I just go watch because

40
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: I want to be able to review them and talk

41
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: about them and obviously doing a podcast like I gotta

42
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: be in the know on every single thing coming out.

43
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: And then there are movies that I just go to

44
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: the theater for that even if I didn't do this podcast,

45
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: and I had nothing to create content wise, I would

46
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: still be excited to go see no matter what. And

47
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: those are the movies that make my top ten list.

48
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: The director, the franchise, or my favorite actor is in

49
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: one of these movies. That's what the criteria is to

50
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: make this list. So we'll get right into the list.

51
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: We have a lot of things to talk about with

52
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: in the criticism of new movies, because these graphics come

53
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: out and everybody's like, ah, everything that remake, everything that

54
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: that's to a franchise. We'll get into all that. So

55
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: let's start the list now. At number ten, I have

56
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: Doune Part two, the sequel. Now, I was not the

57
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: biggest fan of the original one. Thought it was pretty slow,

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: thought it was pretty boring. Visually, it looked amazing. I

59
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: love the director Delnis Villeneuve, who I was just rewatching Secario,

60
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: which he also did. He is a fantastic director. And

61
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: sometimes when movies come out and they say the first

62
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: one is good, but the second one is where all

63
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: the action happens, I'm hesitant about that. I went on

64
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: that whole entire rant about Rebel Moon last week, but

65
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: in this case, I'm willing to give this one a shot,

66
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: and I'm excited about it because Dune two is said

67
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: to be where all the action is in Dune, and

68
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: Dune has a very passionate fan base, people who read

69
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: the book and loved that first movie. I felt like, genuinely,

70
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: there was something I missed about that first one. Watching

71
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: it the first time, I wasn't impressed. I even rewatched

72
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: Dune and it was still not quite there for me.

73
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: So I'm going to give it one more chance. Going

74
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: into Dune two, which is coming out on March first.

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: It was supposed to come out at the end of

76
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: last year, but the writers strike affected this one got

77
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: it pushed back. So I'm excited to see some more

78
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: action in Dune two, which I really thought. That was

79
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the main reason I didn't enjoy one. I didn't feel

80
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: like there was that much action until the very end

81
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: and the movie was over it. It's also a really

82
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: big world that they are creating in Dune. There are

83
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: so many characters it really just reminds me of Game

84
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: of Thrones. But now that the entire world is established,

85
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: I think we have a really great epic movie on

86
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: our hands. You have Timothy Shallow, Mazon Day Josh Brolin,

87
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Patista, Christopher Walkin. The cast

88
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: is stacked in this movie. So even though I wasn't

89
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: the biggest fan of the first one, I'm really looking

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: forward to Dune Part two, so that one comes in

91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: at number ten. At number nine, we have the first

92
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: animated entry in my list. It is Inside Out Too,

93
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: coming out on June twelfth, which is the sequel to

94
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: Inside Out, which is one of the best Pixar movies.

95
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: Who in a very long time, Pixar has been kind

96
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: of hit or miss lately, and I know these movies

97
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: are intended for kids, but Pixar has always been the one,

98
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: more so than Disney, that crosses that line of they

99
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: are movies that ki enjoy, but adults enjoy them just

100
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: as much because of the themes. And sometimes I would

101
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: even argue with a movie like Soul, that movie didn't

102
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: even feel like a kid's movie to me. So for

103
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: that reason, and the basis of what this movie is

104
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: about is essentially Riley, who was in the first one.

105
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: She was a kid in that one, but now she's

106
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: growing up, she's a teenager, and you have new emotions

107
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: being introduced, so we do have Amy Poehler back in

108
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: this one. Lewis black in this one, but they are

109
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: introducing a new character who is Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawk.

110
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: Maya Hawk is just crushing it right now, and the

111
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: trailer this one looks promising. You find out that Riley

112
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: is now thirteen, so they have this demolition crew go

113
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: through and totally rewire her brain. The first new emotion

114
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: you meet is what I said earlier, anxiety, who literally

115
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: comes with emotional baggage. So I feel like the attention

116
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: to detail in this movie is going to be heightened,

117
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: and I think it's also a necessary win for Pixar,

118
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: which really hasn't had a major hit in a one,

119
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: and Pixar tends to be a little bit more selective

120
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: on the movies they decide to make sequels too, so

121
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that this one takes what made the first

122
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: one great and elevates it a bit. So that is

123
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: why I put Inside Out to at number nine. At

124
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: number eight, I'm going with the only proper Disney release

125
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: coming out this year coming out on December twelfth, so

126
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: almost this entire year is going to go by without

127
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: a new Disney movie, which after a really poor showing

128
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: at the box office in twenty twenty three, I think

129
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: their entire strategy is changing, which I am excited to see.

130
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 1: They're scaling back not only on Disney releases but also

131
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: on Marvel releases. But the movie here is Mufasa the

132
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: Lion King, which is the prequel to the twenty nineteen

133
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: live action version. Now I am not the biggest fan

134
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: of prequels, but it is The Lion King, which is

135
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: on paper, probably the best Disney movie ever made, the

136
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: first animated one in nineteen ninety four, and they remade

137
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: that movie as a quote unquote live action movie in

138
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, which didn't really change the story whatsoever. They

139
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: just took everything and created really a new animated movie,

140
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: because it's not like they went over to Africa and

141
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: got some lions and hyenas to act in a live

142
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: action Disney movie. I don't even know why they call

143
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: some of these live action movies live action movies. They're

144
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: really just animated movies but making them look more realistic.

145
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: So that movie was good, It wasn't anything mind changing

146
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: when it came to the style they decided to film

147
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: that in and make that in, but the songs were there,

148
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: and if you love the story from the original one,

149
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: they just copy and pasted it. So it was Disney

150
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: just trying to crank more money out of an existing

151
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: story and existing franchise. At least here it is going

152
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: to be a prequel and show us the rise of Mufasa,

153
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: which in the first one Mufossa is really in only

154
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: the first act of the movie, and the entire thing

155
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: is dealing with the loss of Mufasa. So I do

156
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: think it will be interesting to see his rise, maybe

157
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: his relationship with Scar, although I do wish that he

158
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: was being voiced by James Earl Jones, who has such

159
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: a great voice and he is Mufasa in my eyes.

160
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: But instead you have two new actors voicing Mufasa and Scar,

161
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: and you also have Seth Rogan and Billy Eichner coming

162
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: back as Timone and Puma. So I am in for

163
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: a photo realistic version of Mufasa's origin story coming out

164
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: on December twelfth, and number eight I have Mufasa the

165
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: Lion King and Number seven is a movie coming out

166
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: on December twentieth, directed by Jeff Fowler, who did Part one.

167
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: It did Part two and I don't know what it

168
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: is about this franchise that has me totally invested. And

169
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: I've seen both of these movies in theaters and love them.

170
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: They make me feel like a kid again. It is

171
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: Sonic the Hedgehog three, the video game adaptation, and there's

172
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: something about these movies that I just love. They're probably

173
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: not the greatest movie, even the best kids movie, but

174
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: I think it's because I was such a big fan

175
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: of Sonic the Hedgehog the video game as a kid,

176
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: and playing that game was such a fun experience in

177
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: I just remember having that association of this is one

178
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: of the best games I ever played. Because the video

179
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: game landscape in the nineties is Mario was nominating it

180
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: was the best video game. But then you have Sonic

181
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: the Hedgehog come along and is a real competition to Mario.

182
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: You have this cool character who speaks the way we speak,

183
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: and he's revved up and fast. It was fun and

184
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: exciting and kind of what they did in the nineties

185
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: was you take the old, boring thing and you make

186
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: it cool, you give it a cool hairstyle, and that

187
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: is what Sonic the Hedgehog was. And those games are amazing.

188
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: The soundtrack was fantastic. It had one of the best

189
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: video game villains, doctor Roe Botnik, who was played by

190
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey in the first one and the second one.

191
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: Sadly he is not returning to this movie. But I

192
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: just thought they did a really solid job on both

193
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: of these movies and making them fun and making them

194
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: exciting for not only kids, but also people like me

195
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: who were a fan of the video game and are

196
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: now thirty year old adults going to watch these movies.

197
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: So in Part one was the origin story of Sonic

198
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: and him befriending a human and him just trying to

199
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: find his purpose and not be an outcast. Part two

200
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: introduced the character Knuckles, and Part three is gonna introduce

201
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: the character Shadow. But like I said, Jim Carrey is

202
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: not returning, so it looks like we're gonna be dealing

203
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: with a new villain here. But these movies are just fun,

204
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: and that is what gets me out of my bed

205
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: in the morning and wanting to go to the theater

206
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: is just to watch something fun, whether it be just

207
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: a popcorn flick like this where you don't really need

208
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: to think a whole lot about it. But every now

209
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: and then I just need a great video game adaptation,

210
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: which is really hard to do. But it also reminds

211
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: me of watching the old cartoon from back in the

212
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: day where Sonic was voiced by the one and only Rkle.

213
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: So for me, it's anticipated because it's something that I

214
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: associate with my childhood. So at number seven, I have

215
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: Sonic the Hedgehog three coming out on December twentieth. At

216
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: number six, I have a twenty four Civil War, which

217
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: I featured recently on the Trailer Park. It is a

218
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: movie from director Alex Garland, who also did a really

219
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: fantastic movie called Ex Machinaw if you've not seen that,

220
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: which has a lot to do with sci fi and AI.

221
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: That movie was so ahead of its time. I highly

222
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: recommend that one, and this one kind of looks like

223
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: it's along the same lines of that one, except this

224
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: is something that could probably actually happen today. I mean,

225
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: X Mackinaw could probably happen today now that AI is

226
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: so advanced and on everybody's mind. So Alex Garland is

227
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: really good at doing that. But the movie stars Kirsten Dunce,

228
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: her husband, Jesse Plemons, Nick Auferman, Kaylee Spainey, takes place

229
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: in the United States after it falls into a state

230
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: of civil war, and it follows these reporters trying to

231
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: trek across the country as things are getting more and

232
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: more dangerous. So I can't wait to see what the

233
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: origin of this civil war is in this movie and

234
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: how outlandish or how probable it could actually be. I

235
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: do see some concerns of it. Looks like California and

236
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: Texas in this have taken each other's sides, and I

237
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: don't know how realistic that is. For having lived in

238
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: Texas and feeling the tension between both states, maybe I'm

239
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: the only one who sees that here of feeling like

240
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: maybe that's the most improbable pairing of two states that

241
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: would side with each other. But hey, we'll see what happens.

242
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: But the movie is from Age twenty four, which I

243
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: said is getting more into the realm of making big

244
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: action movies like this, trying to establish themselves and building

245
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: their own franchises and making more movies that feel like

246
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: something that people are a little bit more used to,

247
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: but also holding true to their roots and making things

248
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: that are oftentimes rooted a little bit in horror, which

249
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: this civil war movie does give you a little bit

250
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: of those vibes at least with some of the thriller

251
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: aspects in it. So maybe not full and scary blood

252
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: and guts, but there's always a sense of fear in

253
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: a movie from A twenty four and I think that's

254
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: what they're showcasing here. So giving people who have been

255
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: fans of A twenty four for a very long time,

256
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: which X Monk and I was also an A twenty

257
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: four film back in the day. I feel like that

258
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: would be a really great move for them to also

259
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: put out movies that crush it at the box office

260
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: so they can continue to make more movies that are

261
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: even more obscure. So at number six, I have Civil

262
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: War at number five. Again, this is a reason that

263
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: I have to wait and do this episode because Mickey

264
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: seventeen is the new movie from Bong June Ho, who ooh,

265
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: fantastic director. You probably know him best from Parasite, which

266
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: is the last movie he did one best picture rightfully so,

267
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: but he's also done movies that I love, like Oakja

268
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: and snow Piercer. He rarely misses. He's one of those

269
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: directors who just has a vision in mind, has a

270
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: story and just nails every aspect of it. And this movie,

271
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: Mickey seventeen, was supposed to come out on March twenty ninth.

272
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: I was so excited for it, but it was just

273
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: announced this past week that Warner Brothers has taken away

274
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: the release date and instead moved up the date of

275
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: Kong and Godzilla. This movie does not have a release date,

276
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: So I'm still putting it at number five because I'm

277
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: very optimistic that it will still come out in twenty

278
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: twenty four due to the fact that it had a

279
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: March twenty ninth release date. But this is a highly

280
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: anticipated sci fi movie for me because it's said to

281
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: be a movie unlike any movie that he's done before,

282
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: and the movie stars one of my favorite actors, Robert Pattinson. Well,

283
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: right now, in my eyes, can do no wrong. Really,

284
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: Robert Pattinson for me, just nails every single role that

285
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: he is doing. But he's the star of this movie,

286
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: and he plays a space explorer who gets cloned with

287
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: his memories intact every time he dies. The movie is

288
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: based on a book, so it's an adaptation of an

289
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: existing story, but it's said to really ramp up the

290
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: idea of cloning that the book touches on. It does

291
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: remind me of the movie that came out last year

292
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: on Netflix. They Cloned Tyrone with John Boyega, which was

293
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: a really great movie, and I really wish that it

294
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: would have just touched more on the cloning and more

295
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: on the sci fi elements. I really love the first

296
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: act of that movie. I felt like it fell off

297
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: a little bit there towards the end. So I'm hoping

298
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: this movie has much more of an emphasis on cloning

299
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: and much more of an emphasis on the sci fi part.

300
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: And maybe with the director like Bong Juneo who was

301
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: affected by the writer strike, I think he is just

302
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,359
Speaker 1: taking a little bit more time to put the finishing

303
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: production touches on this movie. So hopefully soon we get

304
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: the official release date of this movie. But again I'm

305
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: still hoping that this movie will come out in twenty

306
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: twenty four. I feel pretty confident about it. So at

307
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: number five, one of my favorite directors with one of

308
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: my favorite actors. I have Mickey seventeen at number four

309
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: as a movie called Challenger starring Zendeia and it's coming

310
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: out on April twenty sixth, and I've been seeing this

311
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: trailer for a little bit Now this is another movie

312
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: that was supposed to come out last year but because

313
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: of the strike, is now coming out in twenty twenty four.

314
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: It's from director Luca Guadanino, who also did Call Me

315
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: by Your Name, And if you've seen that movie, you

316
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: know sometimes the theme in his films are a little

317
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: bit riskuey, emotionally complex, sensual, the visuals are very jarring

318
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: at times. He also did a movie called Bones and

319
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: All which came out last year, and I'm getting the

320
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: similar vibes in Challengers. But in the movie, Zendeia plays

321
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: a tennis star turn coach, and then the trailer you

322
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: see she's involved in a love triangle with a couple

323
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: other tennis champions played by Josh O'Connor and Mike Feist.

324
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: So this movie looks like it has a little bit

325
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: of everything drama hooking up, which you see in the trailer.

326
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: You also have Zendeia's character getting injured, which she looks

327
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: to be like an elite tennis champion, and maybe the

328
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: injury takes her out of the game a little bit

329
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: and turns her into being a great coach. But she's

330
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: just another one of my favorite actors, which obviously she's

331
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: in Spider Man, which is one of my favorite superhero

332
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: franchises of all time, and she does a really great

333
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: job as MJ in those movies. But even more so

334
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: than that is her role in Euphoria, where she just

335
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: goes and is unrecognizable and shows that she is one

336
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: of the best actors working today. And I hope with

337
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: everything that that show has been through that they are

338
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 1: still able to make another season, maybe the final season

339
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: of that show. I'm hoping hoping that it doesn't get Hansel,

340
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: which that show just has so much that goes into

341
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: the production and the writing that I'm just really hoping

342
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: we get another season to that because I need to

343
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: know what happens to her character in that movie. So

344
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: she is an actor that I'm highly invested in In

345
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: a movie like this with the director of this caliber,

346
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: it just looks like one of those movies if it

347
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: would have came out at the end of last year,

348
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: would probably be up for a lot of awards right now.

349
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: But I can't wait to see it. I can't wait

350
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: to see this story unfold. So at number four, coming

351
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: out on April twenty sixth, I have Challengers. At number three,

352
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: I have Joker Io which is coming out on October fourth,

353
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: from director Todd Phillips, who also did the first Joker

354
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: movie is also famous for movies like The Hangover. Yeah,

355
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: the same guy who did the story about three guys

356
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: going to Vegas and not being able to remember what

357
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: they did the night before also did one of the

358
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: darkest movies in twenty nineteen that I felt was so

359
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: shocking and controversial at the time because it really resemble

360
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: and reflected what was happening in society and maybe hit

361
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: a little bit too close to home. But this movie

362
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: is said to be a musical, and now you have

363
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: Lady Gaga involved in this movie. She is playing Harley Quinn,

364
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: and the fact that it's a musical is one of

365
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: the most interesting aspects of this film because you look

366
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: at a movie like Joker, which is so dark and

367
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: has so much to do with mental health, inciting riots,

368
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: straight up murdering people, and was a reflection at the

369
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: time of gun violence and just people who were just

370
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: not in the right frame of mind. And what I

371
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: really loved about that movie was unpacking and thinking, were

372
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: all the events that happened in Joker, did they actually

373
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: unfold in that world? Or did they all just exist

374
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: in Arthur Fleck's mind because he is going through some

375
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: stuff mentally, He's just not all there. And you even

376
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: see moments in that movie where you think one thing

377
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: has happened, and you later learned that all those events

378
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: kind of just existed in his mind and they didn't

379
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: go down the way that you first saw it as

380
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: the viewer. So now thinking about that entire story and

381
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: when involded and how he became the Joker, how is

382
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: that going to translate going into this movie? Is this

383
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: one going to be him at Arkham, going on a

384
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 1: big journey that all exists in his mind? And that

385
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: first one crushed it at the box office, which is

386
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: surprising because it is an R rated movie became a

387
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: billion dollar hit. So as much as I loved it,

388
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: I didn't think that it warranted a sequel. So maybe

389
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: that's why Todd Phillips decided to do one so differently

390
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: and make it a musical, to make it so different

391
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: than the first one, to give us a reason to

392
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: take another journey with the Joker. So I feel like

393
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: this could be hit or missed either way. And just

394
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: because I'm anticipating it doesn't mean that it's gonna be

395
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: a great movie because maybe the concept of turning it

396
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: into a musical, and just because it's the musical. I

397
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be like high school musical. I

398
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: think you can have a very demented movie just throw

399
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: to some songs to show how unreliable and how mentally

400
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: fragile these characters are. So I can't wait to see

401
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: what that looks like. And just from some of the

402
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: photos that have been released from this movie so far,

403
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: it is looking fantastic. So at number three, I have

404
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: Joker too. At number two is another comic book movie,

405
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: and it is the only Marvel movie coming out this year.

406
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: It is Deadpool three, which is coming out on July

407
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: twenty sixth, from director Sean Levy, who has also done

408
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: all the other Deadpool movies. You have Ryan Reynolds and

409
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: you Jackman returning as Wolverine, and what this movie is about.

410
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: You have Deadpool across this pass with Wolverine who is

411
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: recovering from his injuries, and they team up to defeat

412
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: a villain. And you just think about those two actors

413
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: getting to play two of the best superheroes in the

414
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: last ten years, and just their chemistry together as friends,

415
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: which they are friends in real life. I think that

416
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: is what's going to translate so well into this movie.

417
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: And the Deadpool movies have been really solid so far.

418
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: I loved the first one, loved that it was kind

419
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: of an unexpected hit, which that one was a disruptor

420
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: of the superhero genre. It was really a movie made

421
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: poking fun at all the tropes that superhero movies were

422
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: becoming known for, and it was a bright spot because

423
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: it was something different. It was R rated, it was

424
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: more violent, and I think also the fact that it

425
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: was made for a relative heavily low budget is what

426
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: attracted me to that movie. I don't even think those

427
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: movies are as funny as everybody else finds them. That

428
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: is not the most appealing thing to me when it

429
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: comes to Deadpool, even though it is a reflection of

430
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: the character from the comic books. I guess maybe I

431
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: just get a little bit tired of Ryan Reynold's coirkiness,

432
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: and he kind of has the same overall essence in

433
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: all of his roles. I just love the gritty, R

434
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: rated nature of those movies, and that's what makes them

435
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: so different to me. And Deadpool two was a little

436
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: bit more forgettable, and since the first one was a hit,

437
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: they had some more money to play around with, so

438
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: I feel like some of the visual aspects did get

439
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: better in that movie, but I don't think the story

440
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: was as solid as the first one. But in this one,

441
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: now you have the budget there, but you also have

442
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: Wolverine returning, who is one of the most beloved characters

443
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: in all of marveling back to the early two thousands

444
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: of the X Men movies. So I think that is

445
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: a really important thing. And you think about how Logan ended,

446
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: so you wonder how those movies are going to be addressed,

447
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: and also how this is going to fit into the MCU,

448
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: which Deadpool one and two were not in the MCU,

449
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: and with it now crossing over and Disney having the

450
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: rights to it, you wonder how much it's still going

451
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: to poke fun at all of the MCU movies. And

452
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: this is the only MCU film coming out in twenty

453
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: twenty four, And I think that is a really important thing,

454
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: which my criticism last year was only that Marvel should

455
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: probably take a break just to get their quality better.

456
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: And everybody right now is saying that the superhero genre

457
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: is dying and we're tired of them. Even actors are

458
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: tired of them, hating that they have to compete with

459
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: all of these superhero movies to be relevant anymore. And

460
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: saw Tom Hanks mad about it, And if Tom Hanks

461
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: gets mad about it, then you know other actors are

462
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: just over it if they are not involved in these movies. Now,

463
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: what I think about this is I don't think the

464
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: superhero genre is dead, and I think it's weird for

465
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: people to say that they need to go away and

466
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: we're over them, because the criticism is that there are

467
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: too many superhero movies, but you do not say that

468
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: about any other genre. You don't see a trailer for

469
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: a new drama and say, man, there are too many

470
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: drama movies. There are too many action movies. It is

471
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: just a genre now that exists, that is always going

472
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: to exist. That it really wasn't until two thousand and eight,

473
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: in that entire decade plus run of Marvel that they

474
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: became a dominant force in Hollywood. I don't think the

475
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: genre is dead. The genre is here to stay. I

476
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: think what is dead and what people have fatigue of

477
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: is the formula. And I think that is because MCU

478
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: just had that formula for basically every single movie. It

479
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: worked from two thousand and eight up to twenty nineteen

480
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: with Endgame, and they just kind of kept using that

481
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: formula thinking we wouldn't get tired of it, and I

482
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: think that has contributed to us not being as invested

483
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: in these new characters. It is just the same formula.

484
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: We need to have directors who have a vision and

485
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: don't just want to make a superhero movie because they

486
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: think if they can nail it and have success at

487
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: the box office, they can go on to have a

488
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: career and make any other movie they want. I need

489
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: somebody who is passionate about superhero movies making superhero movies.

490
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: Look at James Gunn and what he did with Guardians

491
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: of the Galaxy and then also went on to do

492
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker. He has a passion for

493
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: superhero movies and those projects are amazing. Matt Reeves Is

494
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: The Batman is a great movie, and there's nobody denying

495
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: how good those movies can be when they step out

496
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: of that formula. The darker superhero movies are where I live.

497
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: So I think the formula needs to be revisited and

498
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,959
Speaker 1: it needs to feel less corporate. So I'm hoping that

499
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: is what Deadpool three does, because initially it was the disruptor.

500
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: It was the one making fun of all these tropes

501
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: that we came to love in superhero movies but got

502
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: a little bit tired of. So I'm glad the MCU

503
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: is only putting out one movie this year, and in

504
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: order for them to succeed, they just need to change

505
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: the formula up a bit, give us something to root for,

506
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: put real action back into the MCU. I was just

507
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: rewatching Civil War, which has some of the best action,

508
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: and it reminded me of how good fight scenes used

509
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 1: to be and how memorable they used to be. You

510
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: don't have that anymore. Get rid of all the comedy

511
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: and get back to the action in the MCU. So

512
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: that is what I think needs to happen in the genre.

513
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: I think it's here to stay. If they don't make

514
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: some changes to the formula, it could go the way

515
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: of the way. But at number one. My most anticipated

516
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: movie of twenty twenty four, coming out on July nineteenth,

517
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: is Twisters, starring Daisy Edgar Jones and Glenn Powell, but unfortunately,

518
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: none of the original members of the Twister cast which

519
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a bummer, and it is

520
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: a new take on the Twister movie, and it's not

521
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: a direct remake, which the initial one followed the iconic

522
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: storm Chasers in Oklahoma and at the time was known

523
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: for really innovative special effects for the nineties. And I

524
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: still go back and watch that movie at least once

525
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: or twice a year. It is the only movie I

526
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: have seen more than fifty times in my lifetime. And

527
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: I think why I love this movie so much is

528
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: because it kind of caused me to get over my

529
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: fear and face them. Because I grew up in Mista

530
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: Hill's mobile range and walks a Hatchee, Texas, and my

531
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: biggest fear growing up was that a tornado was going

532
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: to rip through the trailer park and there's nowhere to go.

533
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: You see all of these survival tips that people give

534
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: you on what to do during a tornado that does

535
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: not apply to a trailer park, and it freaked me

536
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: out as a kid. We would either have to run

537
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: across the street into the laundry mat, or if we

538
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: knew a storm was coming way in advance, we would

539
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: go to my cousin's house, who lived in a brick house,

540
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: which as a kid, that was like my biggest you've

541
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: made it moment if you lived in a brick house,

542
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: because we lived and not even a double white trailer,

543
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: a single white trailer that was two bedrooms and I

544
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: didn't have a room stepting on the floor. My biggest

545
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: fear was a tornado ripping through our trailer park. So

546
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: I think I would watch Twisters so much to get

547
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: over my fear, to think, if I can watch this

548
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: movie and face my fear, I will be okay with

549
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: being able to deal with it. So luckily, later in

550
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: high school we were able to move out, but still

551
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: it is one of my favorite movies. I think the

552
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: disaster genre doesn't get enough credit for how entertaining they

553
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: are because, yes, on paper, they are not the most

554
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: well rounded movies. They don't really check all the boxes

555
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to just being great cinema. But I

556
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: love me a disaster movie. It just has all the

557
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: elements I look for, big action, small love story, but

558
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: also just really crazy and outlandish things happening, like cows

559
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: being sucked up by a twister. We have cows. Twister

560
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: is one of my most quoted movies of all time. Dorothy,

561
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 1: you took her, You damn thief. I could quote this

562
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: movie all day long, and I am upset a little

563
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: bit that none of the original cast is returning, so

564
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm hesitant that it's just gonna feel like an entirely

565
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: different movie and just slapping on the Twister name. What

566
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: I really wish is that this movie would have come

567
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: out back when Bill Paxton was still around and he

568
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: had plans in a script and an idea to make

569
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: a Twister three D movie, back when Avatar got us

570
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: all to be obsessed with three D movies. I think

571
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: that would have been a great time for this movie

572
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: to come out. So sadly he has passed away. So

573
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping that this movie does justice to one

574
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: of my favorite movies of all time, a top ten

575
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: film for me, and that is why it's my most

576
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: anticipated because I'm hoping it's gonna be good, but if

577
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: it's bad, it's gonna hurt. It's gonna feel like, oh Man,

578
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: like when your parents tell you they're not mad at you,

579
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: but they're disappointed. That is how I'm going to feel

580
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: about Twister. And also knowing that a lot of the

581
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: actors who are in that first one are still around

582
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: and they are still passionate about their role in this

583
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: how big or smaller they might have been. I've even

584
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: had Sean Wahlan on this podcast talk about Twister because

585
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: I love this movie so much, so I really wish

586
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: for that reason they were a part of it, because

587
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: they deserve it. But nonetheless, I cannot wait to see

588
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: this movie. On July nineteenth at Number one, I Have Twisters.

589
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 1: We'll come back give a spoiler free review of Mean Girls,

590
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: and then we'll talk about a new movie with Christen

591
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: Stewart called Love Lies Bleeding. Let's get into it now,

592
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: a spoiler free review of Mean Girls. It is twenty

593
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: twenty four, now are still trying to make Mean Girls happen.

594
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people a little bit confused

595
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: about this movie on a couple of things. One is

596
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: that this movie is a musical. When the trailer came out,

597
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: it didn't showcase any of the singing and dancing, but

598
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: it is a musical. I feel like movies are starting

599
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: to do this a little bit more now because I

600
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: feel like the perspective I kind of have a musicals

601
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: of not really enjoying them until there's a really great

602
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: one is how people feel there's some hesitancy when it

603
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: comes to people wanting to go see musicals. So if

604
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: you can disguise it just a little bit, get people

605
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: in sucker Boom, I got your money sit through this musical.

606
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: And also that it's not a direct remake of the

607
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: original movie, which I feel a little bit different now

608
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: after watching it. But it is a movie adaptation of

609
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: the musical, which the musical was based on, the two

610
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: thousand and four movie that Tina Fey wrotees it is

611
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: that movie adaptation, not a direct sequel. But I feel

612
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: like they were also kind of lying to us on that.

613
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: So first thing, I was surprised by walking into the

614
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: theater primarily female, which I just thought Me and Girls

615
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: was a universally loved movie from the two thousands. Male

616
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: or female, I thought didn't really matter. I know girls

617
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: in the title, but there was maybe two other guys,

618
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: maybe three other guys in there. That is fine, but

619
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: that is kind of the basis of who I'm using

620
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: the reactions from in the audience on some of the

621
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: things that I found a little bit cringe worthy. So

622
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: what you have here in this movie is taking all

623
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: the same iconic characters and same iconic story, throwing all

624
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: that into a movie and then breaking it up with

625
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: song and dance. Everything that you probably have laughed at

626
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: in that first two thousand and four movie is in

627
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: this one line for line, which caused some really clunky

628
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: dialogue which I just found to be very cringe worthy,

629
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 1: and I started to think, why is that If something

630
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: that was so funny in the original movie you do

631
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: it again, why is it not funny now? And to me,

632
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: it felt like if I had a favorite comedian and

633
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: they put out a special on Netflix. I watched that

634
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: special at least once or twice a week because I

635
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: love this comedian so much. Then I go see that

636
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: comedian perform live in town, and instead of doing all

637
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: new material, they do the same exact special. You know

638
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: exactly what is coming, and even though it is still funny,

639
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: it just doesn't really hit. And nobody in the audience

640
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: was really laughing at all of these lines, you know,

641
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: all the lines from the original movie, and they were

642
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: doing them again, and it just felt very forisd to

643
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: the point that I thought when they were making this movie,

644
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: didn't they feel like this wasn't really landing? Or once

645
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: they started showing it to audiences, did they feel like

646
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: that was really still connecting with people. However, where this

647
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: movie did shine was with the singing and dancing, and

648
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: it took me a little bit to warm up to

649
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: that because I was so distraught about what was going

650
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: on with the actual story in the movie. But that

651
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: is what this movie needed to be. That is where

652
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: this movie showcased all the things that made it great.

653
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: You have Verne Rapp, who is also a singer, a

654
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: great artist. She plays Regina George in this movie, which

655
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: is Rachel McAdams's character in the original movie, and does

656
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: a really great job, maybe too good of a job,

657
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: because in the first movie, of course, Regina George is

658
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: the villain, but in this one it's so much more amplified,

659
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: to the point that I questioned, who would even be

660
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: friends with this person. I don't really have that feeling

661
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: from the original movie, but she was so awful and

662
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: so mean in this movie that I thought, this doesn't

663
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: even really feel believable. But I think they were just

664
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: trying to turn up that character a little bit more

665
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: and make it a little bit more hardcore. And Gary Rice,

666
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: who I primarily know from The Spider Man She was

667
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: also in Mayor of Easttown. She plays Katie, which was

668
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan's character. She was my favorite part about this

669
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: movie and really was the only actor who didn't just

670
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: completely replicate their character. She actually brought a whole new

671
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: perspective on Katie, and to me that felt that this

672
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: was the shining star out of this entire movie, because

673
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: it felt like she approached the character a little bit

674
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: differently and that I wasn't comparing her to Lindsay Lohan

675
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: at any point because it felt so different. You also

676
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: have Ali Lee Cravalo, who is the voice of Mawana,

677
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: so already a great singer. She played Janis in this movie.

678
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: She was probably my second favorite actor. By the first ack,

679
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, man, I don't think I'm gonna

680
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: be able to get through this. But it was kind

681
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: of like when you get into a pool that's entirely

682
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: too cold and you think, oh, man, I had to

683
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: get out of here, my body is freezing. But you

684
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: wait a few minutes, you get a little bit more

685
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: used to it, you wait a little bit longer, and

686
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: at that point you're like, oh, it doesn't even feel

687
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: cold to me anymore. That is how I felt watching

688
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: this movie that by the second act I was into it,

689
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: and I thought the songs got better and better as

690
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: the movie went along. I still think the very first

691
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: Katie song, what Afs, was probably my favorite and one

692
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: I would listen to even outside of being in a

693
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: movie soundtrack. Revenge Party was also great, and I'd Rather

694
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 1: Be Me was probably my third favorite song, and that's

695
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: even as the music kind of tapers off by the

696
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: end of the second into the third act and really

697
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 1: gets into that story. So the songs were good, which

698
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: led me to feel that if this movie didn't have

699
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: to rely on the source material, it would have been

700
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: a much better movie. Instead of making it the exact

701
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: same story with the exact same characters, I almost wish

702
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 1: they made more of a sequel that was a musical,

703
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: because it would have felt entirely different. If they would

704
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: have been the daughters of everybody who was in the

705
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: original movie, I think it would have been a much

706
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: better story. You still could have had a little bit

707
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: of referencing in the nostalgia that works in there, but

708
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: it just would have felt a little bit more fresh

709
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: because they actually did put in new lines that were

710
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: actually funny and moments that I actually laughed out loud

711
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: was with the new material. I don't want to spoil

712
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: it here because if you end up going to see

713
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: it and I told you the line, and then you're

714
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: not gonna laugh at anything in this movie. But that

715
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: made me feel like, oh, they did put some thought

716
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: into the writing in this movie, and they could have

717
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: done it. They just chose to really just bring back

718
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: all of those same lines. So I felt like the

719
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: movie struggled because it had to incorporate all those moments

720
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: that they thought people went there to see, but looking around,

721
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: nobody really resonated with those Again, because we've seen that

722
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: movie so many times, we wanted something different and just

723
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: making it a musical wasn't enough. The other thing I

724
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 1: really wasn't expecting was how kind of poor this movie looked.

725
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: And it costs twice as much as the original movie

726
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: to make, but this movie looked like a student film,

727
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: especially in those first opening scenes when they're at school.

728
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: And if you take one frame of the original Mean

729
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: Girls movie, it looks iconic, it looks warm, it looks cinematic,

730
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: And maybe it's just because people have been posting memes

731
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: and gifts from that movie. For so long. I just

732
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: feel like the way that movie was shot looked so

733
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: much better and so much more refined. This one really

734
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: felt like it was somebody's college project that they did,

735
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: and it was just shot on a bunch of digital

736
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: cameras that had no feel to them, and that is

737
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: where the movie kind of felt lifeless too, feel like

738
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: where they spent all their money was on the musical numbers,

739
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: which were more elaborate, more fantasy like, and much more colorful.

740
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 1: So it felt like all the budget went into making

741
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 1: those moments seem so different that the actual stories suffered

742
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: from that by the way that it looked. And then

743
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: the top it all off. The thing I always notice

744
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: is whenever they have a lot of product placement, whether

745
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: it be the phone that Katie was using, which was

746
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: a flip phone. Maybe that was also a reference to

747
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: the two thousands, but it was obviously a nad for

748
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: that flip phone, which I won't say the name of

749
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: that phone because then they win. But they also used

750
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: a concert ticket app that was very apparent that it

751
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: was a sponsor. There was also a makeup brand in

752
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: there that were like, hey, look look at this makeup brand,

753
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 1: but obviously you gotta fund the movie, you gotta pay

754
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: the bills. That stuff is just a part of filmmaking,

755
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: so can't really hate on them for that. But man,

756
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: when it's so apparent, it just kind of gets to me.

757
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: So it would be hypocritical of me to say that

758
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: this movie shouldn't have been remade. They just keep remaking

759
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: things when I myself am a fan of superhero movies

760
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: and how many times have they remade Batman that I'm

761
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: still highly invested in And I don't think that's really

762
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: the case here that I'm getting at. It's just they

763
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: haven't remade Batman where they take every single line, every

764
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: single action point and just do it again. So overall,

765
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: I think the movie was a victim of itself. But

766
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: I do think if you were a diehard fan of

767
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 1: the original movie and you love musicals, you will enjoy

768
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: this movie, even though it'll feel entirely too familiar. There

769
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: are some great performances, there are some fun moments. But

770
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: if on the other end, you hate remakes, you hate

771
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: things that are just a direct copy of what we

772
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: already know and things that just feel a little bit

773
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: cash grabby, you will not enjoy this movie. But overall,

774
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: for me and girls. I give it three out of

775
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 1: five music notes.

776
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 2: It's time to head down to movie Mike Trailer Paul.

777
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: For the first time in a long time, I found

778
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: myself being a fan of the trailers and going to

779
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: see a movie as often as I do, at least

780
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: once a week, sometimes two, three times a week, depending

781
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: on what is all coming out that week. I've seen

782
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: every single trailer, and I love trailers. That's why I've

783
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: dedicated an entire episode on this podcast to talk about trailers,

784
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: because I want to stay in the know. I want

785
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: to keep you in the know what is coming out

786
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: in theaters, what looks good, what looks like garbage. But

787
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: when I go to the theater, I just want to get

788
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: to the movie. That's just because when I'm going to

789
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: an event, and I would love it if the time

790
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: that they said when you get your tickets is the

791
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: actual time that the movie starts, maybe a five minute buffer.

792
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: But I did an entire episode last year because I

793
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: headed down to a science of what time to show

794
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: up when you just want to see the movie and

795
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: want to skip the trailers because at that point I've

796
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 1: seen them all, I don't want to see them again.

797
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: But now at least Regal has shifted that and now

798
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: there's thirty minutes of previews, which now, yes, you can

799
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: adjust the time you want to get there to get

800
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: there right before the movie starts, if that's what you

801
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: want to do. But I just think, man, why are

802
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: we showing so many previews? I just want to get

803
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: there and watch the movie. However, over the Christmas break,

804
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: when my family went to go see The Iron Claw,

805
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 1: this trailer played and it was one that just slipped

806
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: through the cracks of me watching all the trailers, and

807
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: it was the first time in a long time where

808
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: I went to see a movie and was hooked by

809
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 1: a trailer. They served their purpose, they did their job.

810
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: So really that is the point of trailers, and I

811
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: forget that not everybody is probably us who actively seeks

812
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,439
Speaker 1: them out. We see them on Instagram, we see them

813
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: on TikTok, and by the point that we go into

814
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: an actual theater, we've seen everything. We're aware of it.

815
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: But I think it really has a pretty good effect

816
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 1: when it comes to indie movies, and I think this

817
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: year is kind of the rise of indie movies where

818
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: I feel like audiences are getting a little bit tired

819
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: of big franchises and sequels, and yes, when these things

820
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: come out of like these are the most anticipated, which

821
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: we have been talking about this entire episode. The reason

822
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: that there's the most anticipated is because they're associated with

823
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: the franchise. But if I told you that Love Life's

824
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: Bleeding was one of my most anticipated movies of the year,

825
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: it would be harder to explain it. If you just

826
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: put that on a graphic comparing it to all of

827
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: the other movies coming out, you would look at that

828
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: and not know what it is. So when people say

829
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: that all everything's remake, everything's a sequel, that's the reason why,

830
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 1: because well, really those movies get the most attention because

831
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: you have association with him already. So this movie easily

832
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: could have made one of my most anticipated movies of

833
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: the year. It is called Love Lies Bleeding. It stars

834
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: Kristen Stewart, who I think is a really great actor,

835
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: and I know everybody associates her much like Robert Pattinson,

836
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: who I went on an entire rant of how much

837
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: I love them earlier with the Twilight movies, and she

838
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: has done so many great movies since then. I'm gonna

839
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: give you my top five Kristen Stewart movies. But this movie,

840
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: it looks like all the things I want to see

841
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: in a movie. First of all, it's a thriller movie,

842
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: which is now one of its way back into my

843
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: top genre, and this movie has it all. It has crime,

844
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: it has romance, it has bodybuilding, and just the dash

845
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 1: of fantasy. In this movie, Kristen Stewart develops a relationship

846
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: with an accomplished bodybuilder whose name is Jackie. They develop

847
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: feelings for each other, and Kristen Stewart's character helps her

848
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: out because even though she is a bodybuilder who has

849
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: made some money, she needs a job, so she sets

850
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: her up with the gig with her dad, who looks

851
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: like a shady character played by Ed Harris, and it

852
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: leads them both into the criminal underworld, which are there

853
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: any underworlds that aren't bad? But this was the first

854
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: trailer in a long time that I hadn't seen prior

855
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: to going to the movies and thought, I need to

856
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: see this movie when it comes out on March eighth.

857
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: So before I get into more details about this movie,

858
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of the Love Lies Bleeding

859
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: trailer I found the body lex I keep got your hands, ball.

860
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 2: Over grab.

861
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: We'll just need to fight back. When of them told

862
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: them everything you ever did, FBI, open up? Are you

863
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: threatening me? Yep? Well that was really stupid, nutty. I

864
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: never for a monk Oh, that's sound track that eighties vibe,

865
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: which when it comes to movies and decades of movies,

866
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't really find myself going to the eighties much.

867
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: I much like a modern movie that takes place in

868
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: the eighties, And I was reminded of that after seeing

869
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 1: Air last year, which was just a relic of the eighties,

870
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,959
Speaker 1: and the attention to detail to make that movie feel

871
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: like the eighties completely nailed it there, But overall the

872
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: decade is pretty cheesy and the real eighties classics to

873
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: me aren't really cemented in that time. So when I

874
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: think of like movies like Back to the Future, yes

875
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: it's an eighties movie, but that movie transcends that entire decade.

876
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: So I would much rather see a modern approach on

877
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: an eighties style of movie. But in this movie, Kristen

878
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 1: Stewart plays the manager of a rundown gym. Her character's

879
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: name is Lou. She's kind of in a lost place

880
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: in her life and she has this strange relationship with

881
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: her very shady family, who you get glimpses of in

882
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: this trailer, and they allude to some criminal activity. They

883
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: don't really go into a whole lot of detail of

884
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: what exactly it is that they are doing illegally, but

885
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: it has to do with firearms. At one point they

886
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: go to a gun range, so some shady is happening here.

887
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 1: Christen Stewart is probably the perfect person I could consider

888
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: for this role because she plays somebody really well who

889
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: is in a very complicated at times toxic at times

890
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 1: just not good for you relationship. I don't know why

891
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: I associate her with that type of role, but she

892
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 1: does it so well with her mannerisms and the way

893
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: she just portrays this kind of disassociated, sad look on

894
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: her face. She does it perfectly. So if you just

895
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: told me the plot of this movie that it was

896
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: an a twenty four movie that's somewhat indie looking but

897
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: also has a Hollywood style production to it, I would

898
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: think put Christen Stewart in that role. Some of my

899
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: favorite movies of hers include at number one Has to

900
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: Be at Ventureland. Then I would go with at number

901
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: two American Ultra, which she started with Jesse Eisenberg, a

902
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,439
Speaker 1: highly underrated movie. At number three is another movie it's

903
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: probably her most critically acclaimed and one that kind of

904
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: really opened my eyes up to, oh man, she can

905
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: really do it all was a movie called American Shopper.

906
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: And then at number four, I would go with Twilight,

907
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: just the first one. I loved that first one, say

908
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: what you want overall about the franchise. Those movies really

909
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: put her on the map, made her an a list star,

910
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: and she is a type of actor who probably loves

911
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,720
Speaker 1: and respects those movies for what they did for her career,

912
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: but also wanted to do everything after that completely differently.

913
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: And I think she's done a fantastic job of doing that.

914
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: And yes, has she taken some roles that were clearly

915
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: just to make some money ie Charlie's Angels. Yes, I'm

916
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: sure she's done that too. So still I would put

917
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: Twilight at number four, and then at number five is tough.

918
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: I thought about The Runaways, but I still just don't

919
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: fully love any music. Biopick, even though I thought she

920
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: was great in that Happiest Season was a good Christmas

921
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: movie that came out back in twenty twenty but I

922
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: would probably put Spencer, where she played Princess Diana, at

923
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: number five. But Love Life's Bleeding is directed by a

924
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: relatively new director. This is their second movie ever, Roseglass,

925
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: who also wrote this movie. I love the tagline that

926
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: this movie uses in the trailer that says revenge gets ripped.

927
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: I don't entirely know what that means. It looks like

928
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: Kirsten Stewart's character is getting revenge on her dad and

929
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: then her new bodybuilder girlfriend seems to be the muscle

930
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: in the relationship. And I love that it has like

931
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of fantasy. In the trailer. You see

932
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: at one point her character essentially hulk out where her

933
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: muscles just instantly grow. So I'm curious to see how

934
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:49,760
Speaker 1: this fantasy element plays into a very realistic thriller type

935
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: movie where you just have that eighty soundtrack kind of

936
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: at the foundation of everything. And then you also have

937
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 1: Dave Franco, the brother of James Franco, in this trailer

938
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: looking completely for it and completely ridiculous. And I just

939
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 1: love movies that take risk on the costume design and

940
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: the character design where it just doesn't feel straightforward and

941
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,479
Speaker 1: give it a period piece like this being an eighties movie,

942
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: I love that they really committed to that. So I

943
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: love going into movies and getting a little bit of

944
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: fashion inspiration, so maybe this will be that type of

945
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: movie for me. And the movie is rated R and

946
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 1: it comes in at one hour and forty five minutes,

947
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: which is like the sweet spot when it comes to thrillers.

948
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping by the pace that's established in this

949
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: trailer and also that it really doesn't reveal all the

950
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: little details about what is exactly happening as far as crime,

951
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: that this movie is going to be a pretty good

952
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: roller coaster in under two hours. So again, the movie

953
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: comes out on March eighth. It's called Love Lives Bleeding,

954
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: and I'll let you know after I see it where

955
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: it ranks in my top five Kristen Stewart movies at

956
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: that For next week's edition of Movie by Framer par

957
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,919
Speaker 1: and Not as Good do It for another episode here

958
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 1: of the podcast. Before I go, I got to give

959
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: my listeners shout out of the week. How do you

960
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: get a listener shout out of the week? Really simple.

961
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: You can just send me a DM on Instagram. You

962
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: can tweet me at X. Are we still tweeting over there.

963
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: I've just gotten used to calling it X, but you

964
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: can send me a message or whatever over there on X.

965
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: You can comment on my TikTok. You can always find

966
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: all of these things in the episode notes. But this

967
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 1: week's listener shout out goes to Jenna Moore, who DM

968
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: me after listening to the last week's episode and said

969
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: the migration trailer also hooked me into going expected a

970
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,959
Speaker 1: little more from it, but still enjoyed it overall. Yes,

971
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: another instance of a trailer working. It's like advertising actually works.

972
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. But thank you Jenna. I do agree

973
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,280
Speaker 1: with those sentiments. I thought the movie overall. I thought,

974
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: given that Alka Fina was in it and featured so

975
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 1: heavily in the trailer, that that character would be throughout

976
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: the entire movie and bring a little bit more comedy.

977
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: But instead it was a lot of animated action and

978
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: overall just trying to teach a lesson. So a pretty

979
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: good balance of all three of those things, but I

980
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: kind of wanted some more laughs, especially for a kid's movie,

981
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 1: So thank you Jenna for that DM. Thanks everybody for listening.

982
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: I hope you have a great rest of your week

983
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,280
Speaker 1: and until next time, Go out and watch good movies

984
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: and I will talk to you later
