Today, I want to talk 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: about films with tiny budgets that went on to have 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: huge box office success. I have twelve of the most 5 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: profitable movies of all time. In the movie review, we'll 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: be talking about The Invite with Seth Rogan and Olivia Wilde. 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: If you love movies that induce anxiety, this is going 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: to be the one for you. If you like going 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: to a theater or even watching it at home and 10 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: the whole time you're like, oh my gosh, this movie 11 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: is stressing me out. This might be the one to 12 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 1: really do it for you, because that's what it did 13 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: for me. And in the trailer park, I will be 14 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: blind reacting to the Avengers Doomsday trailer. I recorded this 15 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: back last week when the trailer first dropped last Monday. 16 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: I'll give you my raw reaction and predictions on what 17 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: is going on with the Avengers. Thank you for being here, 18 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: thank you for being subscribed. Shout out to the Monday 19 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,279 Speaker 1: Morning Movie crew. And now let's talk movies. 20 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 2: Podcast Network Movie Podcast Today, we're talking about all the bees, 21 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: the business, the bucks, and the blockbusters of Hollywood, I 22 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: have twelve extraordinary films that had relatively small budgets. 23 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: All combined, these twelve movies cost ten million dollars to make, 24 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: which is unheard of. Typically a normal Hollywood movie probably 25 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: cost about sixty five to eighty five million dollars for 26 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: a big studio production. Ten million dollars which is what 27 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: all these twelve movies combined costs to produce. And they 28 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: went on to make millions and millions of dollars at 29 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: the box office. So we'll talk about each movie how 30 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: much of a return on investment they had, and I'll 31 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: give you some of my thoughts on all these movies. 32 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: Whether I like them or not, I kind of appreciate 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: them all because if they can defy the odds and 34 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: make a statement in Hollywood on a small budget. And 35 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: number twelve, we have My Big Fat Greek Wedding that 36 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: came out back in two thousand and two. The movie 37 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: costs five million dollars to make and went on to 38 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: earn three hundred and sixty nine million dollars at the 39 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: box office. That is a seventy four times return on investment. 40 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: This is the small little rom com that could. This 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: is a movie that I was exposed to later in life, 42 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: and it wasn't until Kelsey told me how much she 43 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: loved this movie. I was like, I've never seen it. 44 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: She was like, you've never seen it. This was one 45 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: of those movies for her that we had to watch immediately, 46 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: and it turns out I love this movie. One of 47 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: the most memorable bits of that movie is the whole 48 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: Winddix thing and then using it to fix everything. But 49 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: this movie actually started as a one woman stage play 50 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: before it became a movie. The original person who wrote 51 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: that play and performed in that play actually wrote the 52 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: screenplay and she took all of that from her own 53 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: Greek American family experiences and traditions. So I think this 54 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: is also a great example of of looking at Hollywood 55 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: and thinking, man, there aren't any movies that represent where 56 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: I come from the traditions of my people. I don't 57 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: see myself represented in any of these stories. Instead of 58 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: saying when are they going to make it? You know what, 59 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 1: I'm just going to make it myself. And it ended 60 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: up working despite Hollywood saying that they thought audiences would 61 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: have a hard time connecting with the movie centered around 62 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: a Greek family because they didn't think the idea was 63 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: universal enough. And the interesting thing about My Big Fat 64 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: Greek Wedding is, normally movies just care about that opening weekend. 65 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: If you see a movie out promoting right now, they 66 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: only care about that opening weekend numbers because that is 67 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: typically when you make the most amount of money. Normally 68 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: there is anywhere between a forty to sixty percent, sometimes 69 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: even up to seventy or eighty percent, depending on word 70 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: of mouth whether it is good or bad, but there 71 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: is oftentimes a huge drop off from week one to 72 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: week two, So everybody focuses on that first week because 73 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: rarely do you end up making more money the second week, 74 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: even though we've seen some examples this year. But when 75 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: it came to My Big Fat Greek Wedding, this movie 76 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: actually grew bigger every week instead of dropping off in 77 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: that opening week. It went on to spend months in theaters, 78 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: becoming one of the biggest sleeper hits ever. And obviously, 79 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: like I mentioned earlier, the wind Deck fixes Everything ended 80 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: up becoming that standalone joke that is one of the 81 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 1: most quoted things of the two thousands. So it wasn't 82 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: a movie that Hollywood believed in, but audiences believed in it, 83 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: They discovered it, and then refused to let it go. 84 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: They told people about it. So at number twelve is 85 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: My Big Fat Greek Wedding from two thousand and two, 86 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: and number eleven is Saw from two thousand and four 87 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: from director James One, who is now a huge director 88 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: when it comes to the horror genre. This movie had 89 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: a budget of one point two million dollars and went 90 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: on to make one hundred and four million dollars at 91 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: the box office. That's an eighty seven x return on 92 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: this movie and now has spawned an entire franchise. This 93 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: was the first full feature film from director James Wand 94 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: and the entire movie was shot in only eighteen days. 95 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: That iconic bathroom location is basically the centerpiece of this 96 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: entire movie, so primarily the entire story takes place right there. 97 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: And realizing I don't think this is a spoiler. At 98 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: this point, it's over twenty years old, which is weird 99 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: because Saw still feels new to me. But to think 100 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: that he was there in the room the entire time, 101 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: I remember that moment being so mind blowing. I don't 102 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: think I saw this movie in theaters because I was 103 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: thirteen years old. It was rated R but still the 104 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: first time I saw that and jig Saw gets up 105 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: and then you learn his entire backstory. That is one 106 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: of the most mind blowing moments of the two thousands. 107 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: But that iconic bathroom. It works to tell the story. 108 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: But it was also strategic in a way. We don't 109 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: have a whole lot of money. We have one point 110 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: two million dollars to spend on this thing. How can 111 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: we make the most of one location? So again, it 112 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: always comes down to creativity when it comes to small budget. 113 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: Same way growing up, we didn't have a whole lot, 114 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: but we found ways to be creative to save money. 115 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: That is what you have to do. It is scrappy 116 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: filmmaking and I love it. I think it is very 117 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: inspiring when you can work with very limited resources and 118 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: it all comes down to how you tell your story 119 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: and how you use what you do have, which I 120 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: think something now that we are experiencing on the internet. 121 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: We have been experiencing this for a while now. Anybody 122 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: can create anything with your phone. If you want to 123 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: have a platform, it's as easy as getting out your 124 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: phone and going on TikTok. And I think even when 125 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: I was growing up trying to get started in some 126 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: kind of content creation. In like the twenty tens late 127 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: two thousands, you always felt like you needed to have 128 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: really fancy equipment and lighting and do all these things, 129 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: and you thought, oh, man, I could never do that 130 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: because I don't have the money to create that. There 131 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: are no rules anymore. You could use your phone and 132 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: through your own direction and your own creativity, you can 133 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: make anything you want to make with just what is 134 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: sitting in your pocket. So I think Saw is a 135 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: great example of that. Again, the horror genre is going 136 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: to really dominate this list just because it is a 137 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: genre that feeds off of creativity. You don't need to 138 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: have a whole lot of money to make a great, 139 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: powerful story when it comes to horror. So at number eleven, 140 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: I have saw from two thousand and four. At number 141 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,679 Speaker 1: ten is Napoleon Dynamite. This movie only costs four hundred 142 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: thousand dollars to make six figures to make Napoleon Dynamite. 143 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: It went on to make forty six million dollars at 144 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: the box office. That is a one hundred and fifteen 145 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: X return. Not only was it highly success fool, but 146 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 1: the movie was filmed mostly in Preston, Idaho. It also 147 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: doesn't really say when it takes place. It feels very 148 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: old and almost seventies or eighties, but then also feels 149 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: modernate times. That is why I feel that Napoleon Dynamite 150 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: is kind of a timeless movie. John Heater, who plays 151 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: Napoleon Dynamite, was only paid around one thousand dollars for 152 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: the movie, and then it went on to be a 153 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: huge hit. It sparked his career. He went on to 154 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: do Purty Wohlla in Hollywood, and I still see him 155 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: now out talking about Napoleon Dynamite. My favorite story is 156 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: how whenever he filmed the dance scene, he made everybody 157 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: else leave the set. Only the essential crew could stick around. 158 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: So if you're operating a camera or you had to 159 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: be there for the actual production of the scene, you 160 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: could stay, but everybody else had to go. And he 161 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: didn't have that dance fully figure it out. They just 162 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: knew that he had a little bit of dance experience 163 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: and this was going to be a very pivotal moment 164 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: of the movie, so he kind of freesed the whole thing. 165 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: So to this day he says, I really don't know 166 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: the dance I couldn't do the dance for you. I 167 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: knew the elements I wanted to fit into the dance, 168 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: but they just needed something funny. So he's like, Okay, 169 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: I could do this at the school assembly, and that 170 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: is what he did. He really only had a few 171 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: minutes to figure out the dance before the filming started. 172 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: And I also think this movie had a big impact 173 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: on comedy even still to this day, if you have 174 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: that dead pan style of comedy that I feel a 175 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: lot of shows after this and movies too ripped off 176 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: Napoleon Dynamite. Anytime I watch something awkward, I can probably 177 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: pinpoint it back to something from Napoleon Dynamite. And this 178 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: was another movie that the studio Fox Searchlight in this case, 179 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: didn't know how audiences were going to react. And I'm 180 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: pretty sure I saw this opening weekend. I know I 181 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: saw it in theaters, but I remember there just kind 182 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: of being a buzz around it. Maybe I saw a 183 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: trailer or a clip on MTV and thought, Oh, I 184 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: want to go see that movie in theaters. My brother 185 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: and I went to go see it. I think if 186 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: I dug through all the things I still have at 187 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: my parents' house, I could find my original Napoleon Dynamite ticket, 188 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: but it was through people like me and my brother 189 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: going to watch it and then word of mouth. This 190 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: movie just grew bigger and bigger and went on to 191 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: be the monster hit that we know now and number 192 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: ten is Napoleon Dynamite. At number nine from nineteen seventy six, 193 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: it is Rocky. The movie had a one point one 194 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: million dollar budget and went on to gross two hundred 195 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: and twenty five million dollars at the box office. That 196 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: is a return of two hundred x. Rocky is the 197 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: greatest underdog story of all time. And now they're coming 198 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: out with I Play Rocky, which is a movie about 199 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: the making of Rocky. And it's crazy to see how 200 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: those two stories parallel, because the story of Rocky is 201 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: Sylvester Stallone wanted to break into Hollywood, but nobody was 202 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: going to hire the guy. So somebody told him, if 203 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: you want to be in a movie, write a script 204 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: and give yourself the best part, which I think is 205 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: the best advice to today. Even if you don't want to 206 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: get into something creative, anything that you want to do 207 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,719 Speaker 1: in life, just do it yourself and give yourself the 208 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: best part. Whether it is actually for a movie, whether 209 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: it's for a business, whatever you want to accomplish in life. 210 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: Right now, the biggest thing is owning your own content, 211 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: owning your own brand, owning your own company. Take the 212 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: Rocky approach, write your own script in life, give yourself 213 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: the best part. That is the best advice I can 214 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: give you. But that is what Sylvester still owned did 215 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: He in a matter of days, wrote the script to Rocky. 216 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: Got it in front of some executives who thought, this 217 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: is a great story, there's actually something here. You wrote 218 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: this entire thing by yourself. All right, we'll buy it 219 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: from you and get somebody to play Rocky. And he's like, no, 220 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play Rocky. I wanna play Rocky. That role 221 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: was for me. And they're like, now they threw a 222 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: bunch of money at him. Still wouldn't take it because 223 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: he knew this is something bigger than just one movie 224 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: that I wrote. This could be my entire career. And 225 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: boy was he right, because the movie went on to 226 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: spawn an entire franchise and spinoffs, has made over a 227 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: billion dollars as a franchise at the box office. And 228 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: it all goes back to that underdog story. No better 229 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: example of betting on yourself, writing something in three and 230 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: a half days and thinking this is going to be 231 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: my ticket. That is a crazy thing to feel. It 232 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: is hard to turn down that amount of money and 233 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: the fact that it was made for right around a 234 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,119 Speaker 1: million dollars. Some movies today will spend a million dollars 235 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: just on visual effects, sometimes even for just one sequence. 236 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: This entire movie was made for that. At number nine, 237 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: I have Rocky from nineteen seventy six at number eight 238 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: in the most profitable movies of all time. Halloween from 239 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight, direct by John Carpenter, who is a 240 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: legendary horror director, had a budget of three hundred and 241 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars, went on to make seventy million 242 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: dollars at the box office. That is a two hundred 243 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: and fifteen X return. This movie was originally called The 244 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: Babysitter Murders, which, man, I'm glad that this movie did 245 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: not end up being named that because if it would 246 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: have been called The Babysitter Murders, I don't think it 247 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: would have been as successful. I think a huge reason 248 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: that the Michael Meyers story connects so well is because 249 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: it's tied to Halloween, and anytime Halloween rolls around. Even 250 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: though it's not really a thing as much now to 251 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: watch things on cable, you still want to go back 252 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: and watch these. It becomes tradition, just like we watched 253 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: Christmas movies around Christmas time. Once the leaves start to 254 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: change and it's spooky season, I am for sure going 255 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: to rewatch something in the Halloween franchise. So if it 256 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: would have been The Babysitter Murder, it just would have 257 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: been another seventies movie, probably just a footnote in John 258 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: Carpenter's career. This movie was so low budget that the 259 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: mass they used for Michael Myers reportedly only cost a 260 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: dollar and ninety eight cents. They went to the store 261 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: they got a cheap Captain Kirk mask, which is William 262 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: Shatner from Star Trek, and they ended up modifying that mask. 263 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: You can kind of see it in some of the 264 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: scenes that are very up close and kind of on 265 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: the profile side of him. They took off like the sideburns, 266 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: They removed a lot of the features, painted the entire 267 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: thing white, messed with the hair a little bit. Initially 268 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: they had some different types of masks. There was like 269 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: a clown mask at one point, which would have been awful. 270 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: All these small little details ended up making this movie iconic. 271 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: And if one of these small details wouldn't have been 272 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: in place, I don't think the movie would have worked. 273 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: Michael Myers was just referred to as the shape in 274 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: the credits, and there was actually an actor obviously wearing 275 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: the mask and wearing the jumpsuit, but they wanted him 276 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: to feel more evil than a real person. There was 277 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: no Halloween, we wouldn't have Friday the thirteenth, scream a 278 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: Nightmare on Elm Street, and so forth. This is the 279 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: one that set the blueprint, so was made for very 280 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: little money, not only did well on its own, but 281 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: also sparked an entire genre of movie. And even though 282 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: it is seen as a scary slasher horror movie that 283 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: is violent, a lot of the suspense in this movie 284 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: comes from what you don't see and the mystery and 285 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: the tension that is created through that iconic music. Not 286 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: only the main theme that we all know that, but 287 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: my favorite part of the score is just when Michael 288 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: Myers is gating on somebody, which is always kind of 289 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: funny because he walks at the same pace the entire time, 290 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: and everybody else just kind of freaks out, and they're 291 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: fumbling around trying to get their bearings, and there's this 292 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: piano note that just plays that donn don un donn 293 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: as he's walking up, gaining on them, and then it 294 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: gets a little bit higher. It's like doneinging thing, doneing 295 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: thing thing. It's the tension they create with music, which 296 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: is what makes this movie even scarier. So at number eight, 297 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: I have Halloween from nineteen seventy eight next up on 298 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: my list at number seven, The Texas Trained Saw Massacre 299 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: from nineteen seventy four. The movie costs one hundred and 300 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars to make went on to earn thirty 301 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: one million dollars at the box office. That is a 302 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty one x return on Texas string 303 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: Saw Massacre. The movie was partially inspired by the crimes 304 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: of serial killer Edgin, who was also an influence on 305 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: movies like Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs. And 306 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: despite the title of it being the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 307 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: there's not a whole lot of crazy gore in this 308 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: first movie. They obviously get more gory later on, but 309 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: a lot of the horror, again, much like in Halloween, 310 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: it comes from what you don't see, creating the atmosphere, 311 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: which the atmosphere and the Texas chainsaw massacre is really creepy. 312 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: After I saw this movie, obviously I grew up in Texas, 313 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: but it made me very weary of the back roads 314 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: because you always kind of wonder after watching this when 315 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: you're driving down the back roads in Texas or maybe 316 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: another state you lived in the South, you always kind 317 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: of wonder what those people are up to that live 318 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: out in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes I'll be driving 319 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: out like by my parents' house, and there's a good 320 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: stretch of miles where there's nothing but one house where 321 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: they're pretty far from a gas station or a grocery store, 322 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: and you think, man, what is going on in that house? 323 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: And then they have a shed out back, and you're like, oh, man, 324 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: the things they could get away with. So watching this 325 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: movie it made me a little bit more fearful to 326 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: drive around Texas. And for sure I would never stop 327 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: pick up a hitchhiker or even stop and ask for 328 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: directions in a really small town. I'm just gonna keep 329 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: on going. But this movie was actually shot in Texas, 330 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: which is not always the case. But the movie was 331 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: shot when it was one hundred degrees outside. So you 332 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: probably see some real frustration from some of the actors 333 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: because they said it was physically exhausting long production days, 334 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: because a lot of making a movie is just sitting 335 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: around and waiting, and you're having to make this low 336 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: budget movie and sitting around and waiting in the hot 337 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: Texas heat. But it was shot on real locations, including 338 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: an old farmhouse, and they did all that to save money. 339 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: Leather Face, his mask was created to hide the emotions 340 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: of the killer, kind of the same thing with Michael Myers, 341 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: that you hide all the expressions from your villain's face. Therefore, 342 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: if you just had this blank stare of nothingness, that 343 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: makes it creepier. They also positioned this movie as being 344 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: based on real events, which also scared me as a 345 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: kid because I thought this actually happened, and I thought, man, 346 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: I sure, hope I don't encounter a leather Face growing 347 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: up in Texas. But it went on also to be 348 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: one of the most influential horror movies ever made at 349 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: number seven. The Texas Trainsaw Massacre, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. 350 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 3: After you stop screaming, you'll start talking about it. 351 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: At number six. Mad Max from nineteen seventy nine, directed 352 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: by George Miller, had a budget of four hundred and 353 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: fifty thousand, almost half a million dollars, went on to 354 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: make one hundred million dollars at the box office. That 355 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: is a two hundred and twenty two x return on investment. 356 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: This was Mel Gibson's first ever major role. It's really 357 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: got his career started back in the seventies. A lot 358 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: of the vvehicles and stunts were real because well, the 359 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: filmmakers couldn't afford real special effects, So I think that 360 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: is why this movie probably still holds up a little 361 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: bit to this day. Also, to save money, they actually 362 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: use real motorcycle gang members as extras, because you think, man, 363 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: we got to create this crazy environment with some really 364 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: sketchy people, which I have to imagine probably created some 365 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: tension on set. Hopefully they did their research and didn't 366 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: have rival gang members working on the same set, but 367 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: the stunts were reportedly so dangerous that some insurance companies 368 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 1: refused to cover the production, which is a big thing 369 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: with any kind of movie that has a lot of stunts. 370 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: You have crazy insurance just in case something goes wrong, 371 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: and if you're working on a less than half a 372 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: million dollar budget, probably some things are going to go wrong. 373 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: And at the time when this movie came out in 374 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: the seventies, it had the Guinness World Record of the 375 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: most profitable movie ever made. The success of this movie 376 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: went on to create even bigger movies like Mad Max 377 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: Fury Road. Nearly forty years later, we also had to 378 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: spin off with Anya Taylor Joy furiosa obviously highly influential 379 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: on the post apocalyptic genre in movies. At number six 380 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: is Mad Max and number five is Knight of the 381 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: Living Dead from nineteen sixty eight, directed by George a Romero, 382 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: who is a huge zombie movie director, had a budget 383 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,719 Speaker 1: of about one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars, went on 384 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: to make thirty million dollars at the box office. That 385 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: is a two hundred and sixty x return on investment. 386 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: The two things I know George A Romero four are 387 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: Night of Living Dead all the zombie movies he made. 388 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: But also he always wears like big thing glasses. He 389 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: essentially created the modern zombie movie because before this, zombie 390 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: weren't really a thing like we know them so much 391 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: now in pop culture with things like the Walking Dead everything, 392 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: and you just know it's a zombie. But before this movie, 393 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: they were just these random supernatural creatures from folklore that 394 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: weren't really established as a movie genre. But it was 395 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: George A. Romero who reinvented the zombie and turned them 396 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: into flesh eating monsters, which is what we know now. 397 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: Zombies eat brains and then they turn whoever they eat 398 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: into a zombie, therefore creating this whole Okay, now I'm 399 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: a zombie, and now the idea is spreading, and the 400 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: idea of a zombie has evolved throughout his movies, where 401 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: they're often depicted as being slow creatures that are kind 402 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: of dumb and just like brains brains, and then eventually 403 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: they get a little bit more intelligent. They start picking 404 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: up on things. They're dead, well they're not really dead, 405 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: they're undead, but then they kind of have some brain activity. 406 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: They get a little bit smarter when it comes to 407 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: how to find humans and how not to fall into 408 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: their traps. And then I really love it when the 409 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: genre changed and the zombie started to get more regressive 410 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: and faster, because there is nothing scarier than a fast zombie. 411 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: But George a Romero made this movie with just a 412 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: bunch of his friends and some local actors in Pittsburgh. 413 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: The movie was initially filmed in black and white because 414 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: it is so much cheaper to do, and the opening 415 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: scene with the cemetery was actually filmed in a real cemetery, 416 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: which would he give me some feelings of like, oh, man, 417 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: should we be doing this? But it was one of 418 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: the first horror movies ever to feature a black lead character. 419 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: And then George a Romero ended up using horror as 420 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: so much more than just a scary zombie movie. He 421 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: used it as a way to break down social issues 422 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: through the power of a zombie movie. And actually, due 423 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: to a copyright mistake on some of the early prints, 424 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: the movie ended up becoming on accident public domain, and 425 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: because of that, it became one of the most widely 426 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: distributed horror films in history. In the movie movie has 427 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: influenced so many things like Walking Dead that I mentioned earlier, 428 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: video games, things like Resident Evil and it all came 429 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: from one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars budget, and number 430 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: five is Night of the Living dead at number four 431 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety nine, I have the blair Witch Project 432 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: had a budget of six hundred thousand dollars went on 433 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: to make two hundred and forty eight million dollars even 434 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: though the initial shoot only cost sixty thousand dollars. And 435 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: sometimes I like lose kind of a grasp of money 436 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: when I talk about movie budgets because I'm like, six 437 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars that is nothing. But I couldn't even 438 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: get six thousand dollars together to film a movie, So 439 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: this entire thing is kind of crazy. But that is 440 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: a four hundred and thirteen x return on investment. And 441 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: like I mentioned, they initially had a sixty thousand dollars 442 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: shoot and this was when they just gave all the 443 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: actors in the movie handheld cameras and had them shoot things. 444 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: So that's why it feels like found footage that cam 445 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: that is actually an authentic thing. This is an example 446 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: of a movie that went viral back in the nineties 447 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: before going viral was an actual thing. And how they 448 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: did that is they presented this movie like it was real. 449 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: They created a website claiming that the story of the 450 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: blair Witch was real. And that was something I felt 451 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: going into watching this movie that I watched it probably 452 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: more as if it were a documentary. So a lot 453 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: of people who went to go see initially in theaters 454 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: actually thought that those three actors in the movie disappeared. 455 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: That's not what happened. The actors in the movie use 456 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: their real names to make it feel more authentic. They 457 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: spent days alone in the forest while filming, so I 458 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: have to imagine that is kind of terrifying in itself. 459 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: And this was one of those movies that changed how 460 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: studios marketed movies, not that they were the first to 461 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 1: do it, because, like we mentioned earlier, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 462 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: also kind of presented that as a true story. But 463 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: I think when you can kind of blend the lines 464 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: of what is real and what is fake, which is 465 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: probably so much harder to do now with the Internet 466 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: and everybody being like we're getting scammed all the time 467 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: and being way more dial into when something is presented 468 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: as real but it's actually fake. You probably couldn't get 469 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: away with it as much today, But back in the 470 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: nineties you could do things like that. At number four, 471 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: you have the Better Witch Project, one of the most 472 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 1: profitable movies of all time, and number three is one 473 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: of the more modern entries on the list from twenty fifteen, 474 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: which a lot of these have been in the seventies 475 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: and eighties and nineties, but now in the twenty tens. 476 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: You have The Gallows, which was made on a budget 477 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: of one hundred thousand dollars went on to make forty 478 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: three million dollars at the box office. That is a 479 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty x return on investment. This is 480 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: a Blumhouse movie, which Blumhouse is the studio that I 481 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: highly credit with really seeing movies as an investment, and 482 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: it's kind of like playing the lottery because they know 483 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: how profitable the horror genre is. So this studio historically 484 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: it makes movies for smaller budgets. Their idea is, okay, 485 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: we spend a million dollars to make this movie. What 486 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: if it bombs. Okay, well, we only spend a million dollars. 487 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: If we at least make two million dollars, we're making 488 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: our money back. If we make three million dollars, all right, 489 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: we're profitable. Now. The return on investment is so good 490 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: that they take these risks time and time again. But 491 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: that does mean that sometimes there are some really bad 492 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: Blumhouse movies. It's not really a studio that I see 493 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: the logo and think, ah, I'm gonna watch every Blumhouse 494 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: movie very much. So they have to win me over 495 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: with their casting and more than just the concept, because 496 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: sometimes they just fall flat, not like an A twenty four. 497 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about going into any A twenty 498 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: four movie and thinking, you know, I'm going to get 499 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: a pretty good product here. But The Gallows started as 500 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: a short film before being expanded into a full feature, 501 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: which in the horror genre that is kind of the 502 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 1: road you go down a lot, especially now with the 503 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: YouTube generation where you can put out a ten minute 504 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: short on YouTube, get a studio excited about it, and 505 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: then you make a full feature length movie. But this 506 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: movie was made with no major Hollywood backing. Before Blumhouse 507 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: saw the potential here, they got on board, and what 508 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: do they do. They heavily marketed this movie to teenagers 509 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: through social media, and that works because you find that 510 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,719 Speaker 1: found footage style movies just make the production cheaper and 511 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: the formula works time and time again. But the entire 512 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: movie is about a cursed high school play allowing filmmakers 513 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: to use real locations because it's easy to find. You 514 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: don't have to go to some crazy location or different country. 515 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: It can just go to a school that you find 516 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: and you can film at. But the success of this 517 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: movie showed that people still like simple, self contained horror stories, 518 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: which we are still seeing to this day, and we 519 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: will see at number two because that number two is 520 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: Obsession from twenty twenty six, directed by Curry Baker. It 521 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: cost seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to make and 522 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: went on to earn over four hundred and thirty million 523 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: dollars at the box office. That is a five one 524 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy X return. And we're not even talking 525 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: about the year as a whole, even though now you 526 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: can watch it for free on Peacock. But this became 527 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: and is now the best modern example of a small 528 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: budget and big box office return. But not only that, 529 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: this movie took over pop culture where even people who 530 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: don't particularly like horror movies because it had so much 531 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: of a buzz and it felt like one of those 532 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: movies you need to see for yourself. That people who 533 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: aren't even horror fans were checking out this movie and 534 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: being like, ugh, not entirely for me, but I can 535 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: see why people enjoy this, and it's good. It is 536 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: just not for me. But this followed the path of 537 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: all these other movies that came before, especially What is 538 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: going to Be at number one, which I think is 539 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: the holy grail of small budget horror movie turned major 540 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: success and full franchise. But even going back to the 541 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: Blade witche project, all these simple concepts that they look 542 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: easy to do on paper, so just do them, showing 543 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: that if you could just have that connection with the audience, 544 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: that is all you really need to create massive success. 545 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: And if you can build that word of mouth, that 546 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: is so much more value than running a TikTok campaign 547 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: then having all your actors go on all the talk 548 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: shows and do the entire circuit. It all comes down 549 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: to that word of mouth and creating something that people 550 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: feel that they need to be a part of and 551 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: go see in theaters, otherwise they're going to be left 552 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: out of the conversation. So this seven hundred and fifty 553 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: thousand dollars movie has been annihilating things like Supergirl and 554 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: The Mandalorian and Grogu This year, Who's spent two hundred 555 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million dollars on producing those movies. 556 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: So this is really shaking up Hollywood right now, proving 557 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 1: that you don't need a huge budget to be successful 558 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: now and also showing that we crave original stories where 559 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: we keep getting fed a lot of franchises, and I 560 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: know I'm a part of that. I love Disney, I 561 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: love Marvel, I love big franchises as much as anything else. 562 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: But I think people who maybe casually go to the movies, 563 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: maybe just once a year, and then they just get 564 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: fed remakes and reboots and sequels, and you just want 565 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: something fresh, and studios just keep saying we need to 566 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: sell familiarity, we need to get people back into things 567 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: that they remember from their childhood. But Obsession has kind 568 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: of shattered all that, and I hope that the studios 569 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: have a moment of realization right now, which I think 570 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: you're starting to see that we just crave original stories. 571 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: We don't need a big budget. We just want something good. 572 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 2: That's it. 573 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: We just want something good. Obsession is a perfect example 574 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: of that. So maybe that'll change and studios will stop 575 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: overspending when audiences just really want strong ideas. We don't 576 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: need every a list Henter in a movie in order 577 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: to enjoy it, just give us something good. But at 578 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: number two is Obsession from twenty twenty six, and finally 579 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: at number one, the most profitable movie of all time 580 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: is Paranormal Activity from two thousand and nine. The movie 581 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: was shot initially for fifteen thousand dollars and went on 582 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: to make one hundred and ninety three million dollars at 583 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: the box office, a nine hundred x return on investment. 584 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: That is crazy. So it was initially shot at fifteen 585 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. They did have post production which brought the 586 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: budget to about two hundred and fifteen dollars, but that's 587 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: still really good. But just looking at that initial fifteen 588 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: thousand dollars to make the movie, and Paranormal Activity spawned 589 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: the entire reemergence of this genre of found footage. They 590 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: weren't the first to do it, but I think in 591 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine they gave everybody the idea, this 592 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: is what we need to do because it is very 593 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: cheap to make. Obviously influenced by things like Better Witch Project, 594 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: but it created such a great formula that maybe ran 595 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: its course later in the franchise. But I love paranormal 596 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: activity the first movie, and I think it's because I'm 597 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: just fascinated with haunted house movies and anything where you 598 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: have a really strong, almost demonic or some paranormal force 599 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: in a movie. That is probably the freakiest thing to me. 600 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because I struggled a lot with sleep growing up. 601 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: I suffered from sleep paralysis. That's something like this happening 602 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: to me just freaks me out. It is probably the 603 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: most terrifying because it feels like it could actually happen. 604 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: I don't think Freddy Krueger is going to come out 605 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: of my dreams. A doll probably isn't going to come 606 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 1: to life and chase me down the hallway. But I 607 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: just feel like there's something sinister here that feels very real. 608 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: The director had actually never made a film before, and 609 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: the movie was shot almost entirely in his own house, 610 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,399 Speaker 1: which I know later during the pandemic. That idea kind 611 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: of came back people filming movies over zoom, but a 612 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: crazy concept back in two thousand and nine that now 613 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: doesn't feel so crazy anymore. And the entire concept was 614 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: built around one simple question, what if the scariest thing 615 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: happened in your own bedroom, the place where you're supposed 616 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: to feel the most safe. You go to bed and 617 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: I you get all curled up, you play your sound machine. 618 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: That is your safe place. What if suddenly that safe 619 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 1: place wasn't a safe place anymore and you were terrified 620 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: to go to sleep. For a period in my life, 621 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: I was terrified to go to sleep when I was 622 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: suffering from sleep paralysis, where I just fell at night 623 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: like I was awake, I wasn't dreaming. I just felt 624 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: like there was this heavy presence on my chest and 625 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: I just couldn't move. One time, I remember the worst 626 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: it got where I would kind of feel it like 627 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 1: coming in waves, where it felt like there was something 628 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: pushing the covers down on me, and I would push 629 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: the covers off of me to kind of get it off, 630 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's not happening. That doesn't feel real, 631 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: And then they would come back even harder, and I'm like, 632 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: oh no, this is not just in my head. I 633 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: actually feel this. But the one time it was so 634 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: bad that that was happening, that this force just kind 635 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: of came down and I couldn't move my body. And 636 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: I remember at the time I was sleeping on the 637 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: floor on a mattress, and I felt this entire pressure. 638 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: I live with my body and I lived with my 639 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: brother at the time, and I remember I could see 640 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,399 Speaker 1: him in the other room and I tried to turn 641 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: my body. I couldn't. I could only turn my head 642 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 1: a little bit, and I remember turning it to the 643 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 1: left and trying to scream for help. And I was like, 644 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: and I try to say help me, and nothing came 645 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: out of my mouth. And there were other times where 646 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 1: I heard things like somebody yell hey in my ear 647 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: like that freaked me out. And this was after I 648 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: saw Paranormal Activity. So then my mind started to going like, 649 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: oh no, this house is definitely haunted. My safe place 650 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: is no longer a safe place. But this movie is creepy. 651 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,919 Speaker 1: Some of the prequels aren't as great where they try 652 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: to explain the lore of where this all comes from. Yeah, 653 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: that's a little bit too much for me. I just say, 654 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: go back to basics to Paranormal Activity one, which is 655 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: the most profitable movie ever made. That is the list. 656 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: I'll come back and give my spoiler free review of 657 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 1: The Invite. Let's get into it now. A spoiler free 658 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,919 Speaker 1: movie review of the Invite, directed by Olivia Wilde, who 659 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: I enjoy as a director movies like BookSmart. Don't Worry Darling. 660 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: I think she is a director that I take note 661 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 1: of every single movie that she puts out, and this one. 662 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: It's hard to say that it's our best movie because 663 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: I love BookSmart so much that one put her on 664 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: the map. But this is one of those movies that 665 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: if you love films that give you anxiety, which I do. 666 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 1: I love going into a theater, sitting in my seat 667 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 1: and feeling uncomfortable, some people don't like that. If you 668 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,879 Speaker 1: don't like that feeling, you will not have a good 669 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 1: time watching The Invite because from the very opening scene 670 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: you have all this tension between Olivia Wilde and Seth Rogan. 671 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 1: They play a married couple living in a very, very 672 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: fancy apartment, and you learn more about the origins of 673 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 1: that apartment and the way they bring out a lot 674 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: of this anxiety intention is through the score from the 675 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: very opening scene, where you feel it immediately because Seth 676 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 1: Rogan and Olivia Wilde are going through a bit of 677 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: a rough patch in their relationship. They are just constantly 678 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 1: arguing through the very beginning of this movie and you 679 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: have this score that is almost this very fast paced 680 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: jazz music that is at times a little bit too loud, 681 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,839 Speaker 1: and it feels so chaotic in your brain where I 682 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: was sitting there in my seat feeling uncomfortable because they're 683 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: yelling trying to speak over the music, and you think, man, 684 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: why didn't they turn down that music in post production? 685 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: But I think that was done by design because it's 686 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: supposed to give you that emotion. It's supposed to make 687 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 1: you feel the chaoticness of this movie and of their 688 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:33,240 Speaker 1: love story. Olivia Wilde wants to invite their neighbors for dinner, 689 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: and their neighbors are Penelope Cruz and Ed Norton. Seth 690 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 1: Rogan doesn't want anything to do with it. He has 691 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: some health problems, he doesn't want to be around people. 692 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: But she insists on it because they just fixed up 693 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: the apartment and they have been kind of a nuisance 694 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: to everybody in the building because it's been loud. So 695 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: they kind of want to apologize to their neighbors, have 696 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: them over for a nice meal so they can get 697 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: to talking and apologize for all that. But Seth Rogen 698 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: is very Seth in this movie, and it depends on 699 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: how you feel about him? And Seth Rogen basically playing 700 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: the same character in every single movie, how do you 701 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: feel about it? He is kind of typecast as the 702 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:17,399 Speaker 1: easy going but also easily annoyed stoner with a very 703 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: gruff voice. He's very opinionated. He always makes these backhanded 704 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,240 Speaker 1: remarks that are his branded comedy, and I do believe 705 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: this is Seth Rogan at his best. But it is 706 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: so Seth Rogen that if you are kind of tired 707 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: of him kind of doing the same thing over and 708 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: over again, you might not be a fan of his 709 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: performance in this movie, although I do think it is 710 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: his most layered performance because even though he's doing the 711 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: same thing that he's done recently in like the studio 712 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: where he smokes weed, he gets into arguments. He makes 713 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: situations way more awkward and intense that they need to be. 714 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: The story here fits it so well, and you start 715 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: to feel for his character a little bit because he 716 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: is a failed musician now working as a music teacher, 717 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 1: and you can feel that he has a lot of 718 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: this rage and emotions that he doesn't really know how 719 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: to handle, and it all kind of comes out as 720 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: aggression because he doesn't really like where he is in 721 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: his life, even the origins of the apartment, which you 722 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: learned later in the movie. He has all these feelings that, man, 723 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: I kind of failed, and now I'm kind of failing 724 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: in my relationship, and I really just don't want to 725 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,320 Speaker 1: be around these two neighbors who I have had issues 726 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: with here in the building. And Olivia Wilde is very 727 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: obsessed with this apartment. She spent a lot of money 728 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 1: on all of the furniture and the rugs and really 729 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: just wants to show it off. But you learn from 730 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,359 Speaker 1: the very opening scene that these two people have a 731 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 1: history together, they have a kid. They've been arguing for 732 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: so long, and is this night going to be the 733 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,879 Speaker 1: night that breaks them or the knight that solves all 734 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 1: their problems, or are they going to get this couple 735 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: over here have the worst night ever and explode everything. 736 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: And I know the trailer gave away a lot of 737 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: what the actual invite is to do, and I knew 738 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: it going into it. I don't want to spoil it 739 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: here in this review because maybe you miss that. I 740 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: know not everybody watches every single trailer to every single movie, 741 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: So I just want to set the stage of this 742 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: movie all leading up to win Penelope Cruise and Ed 743 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: Norton come over, because when they get there, they very 744 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 1: much enter that chaotic situation. But it's what happens next 745 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: and the actual invite where this movie just makes a 746 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: complete one pint eighty and suddenly it feels so different 747 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: and it's gonna get an emotion out of you. And 748 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: once that happens, you cannot help but be enthralled in 749 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 1: the story. You see the characters completely change, You see 750 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: everything kind of go out the window, and there is 751 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: so much more on the line, and that is where 752 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,760 Speaker 1: it truly becomes like a oh man, this movie really 753 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,879 Speaker 1: went there. It's gonna get awkward, and I think that's 754 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: what I like about this story. If at any time 755 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: there is a bag of awkwardness, this movie is going 756 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,800 Speaker 1: to open it up fully and get everything out of 757 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 1: there and present it to you as the audience. This 758 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: is a remake of a Spanish film from twenty twenty 759 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: called The People Upstairs, And once you learn about these 760 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,320 Speaker 1: people upstairs, you're like, oh man, you will start to 761 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: question everybody you've ever lived around, Like, man, you never 762 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: know what goes on behind those closed doors. I think 763 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: what I love the most about this movie is it 764 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 1: made something very small feel very big because it takes 765 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: place primarily in one location. I am always fascinated with 766 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,280 Speaker 1: a movie that has very limited sets and very limited 767 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: actors because it takes a lot of skill to make 768 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 1: that entertaining. You have four main characters here, you have 769 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: one location. They never really leave the apartment, but so 770 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 1: much goes on that the movie goes by really quickly 771 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 1: and you never feel like they cheaped out on any 772 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,959 Speaker 1: aspect of this movie, even though it only costs twelve 773 00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 1: million dollars. And by the end of this movie, I 774 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: just felt like I watch something very poetic. It made 775 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: a really great statement on relationships, and I think for 776 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 1: some people if you're going through something, it might be 777 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 1: a little bit triggering because these characters go through a lot. 778 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: They have basically a full out therapy session at one 779 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: point in this movie. So if you're maybe not in 780 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: the best relationship right now, I don't know if this 781 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 1: is the movie to see, because I felt a lot 782 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 1: of people in the theater start to look inward on 783 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 1: themselves because at the beginning of the film, a lot 784 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,439 Speaker 1: of people were laughing, having a good time. Because at 785 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: the core of this story it is a comedy. There 786 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 1: are comedic things that happen. I don't think it's one 787 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 1: you go into and think, oh, it's gonna be like 788 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 1: Seth Rogan and knocked Up. But there are some funny 789 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 1: elements to it. But then it gets very serious at times, 790 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: it gets a little bit dark, and Seth Rogan is 791 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 1: still there to kind of poke the jokes and bring 792 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: some life in some of these situations where it's like, 793 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: oh man, this is getting a little bit more intense. 794 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 1: This is not exactly what I signed up for. But 795 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: the last in the theater got a little bit quieter 796 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 1: to the end. It was kind of like a roller 797 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 1: coaster where it was going up the whole time, we're 798 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: all laughing, we're having fun. You come down off that 799 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: first big drop, which in the case of this movie 800 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: is the reveal of what the invite is, and then 801 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 1: by the end of it, you're just kind of coasting 802 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 1: to the end. You've fully exerted yourself of all your emotions, 803 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: all your energy, and then at the very end you're 804 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 1: just kind of coasting there, waiting to get to the 805 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,439 Speaker 1: end of the ride, and you've had a great time. 806 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: Your face is kind of tingling and then you suddenly 807 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 1: have this realization that the ride is over. That is 808 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,280 Speaker 1: how I felt at the end of this movie, watching 809 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 1: the relationship between Olivia Wilde and Seth Rogan, of going 810 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 1: through all these emotions with him and then ending in 811 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 1: a very beautiful place. I think this movie was just 812 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 1: so out of nowhere for me where I thought, Okay, 813 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: it's another A twenty four movie. I have been a 814 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: fan of Olivia Wilde's work since BookSmart. I thought she 815 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: ca came out really strong with that movie. Don't Worry Darling, 816 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 1: with Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, was very ambitious, maybe 817 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 1: a little bit too ambitious. I still enjoyed that theater experience. 818 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: I do think it is a very polarizing movie. A 819 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 1: lot of people didn't understand or just flat out hated 820 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: that movie, but I still felt like it was a 821 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 1: very noteworthy film. But when it comes to the invite, 822 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 1: it was the side of her I really didn't expect 823 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,840 Speaker 1: because there aren't a lot of bells and whistles. It 824 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 1: is just straight ahead acting, a great score, and just 825 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 1: a really solid story that'll make you look inward, especially 826 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: if you're going through something in your relationship right now. 827 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 1: So just a bit of a warning on that. But 828 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,759 Speaker 1: for the invite, I'll give it four out of five. 829 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:48,399 Speaker 1: I'll be careful with this rating system. Let's just say apartments. 830 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:54,839 Speaker 2: It's gone to head down to movie Mike Traylor Park all. 831 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 1: Right, right, all right. At the time of recording this, 832 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 1: I have not seen the Avengers Doomsday trailer yet. Whenever 833 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,719 Speaker 1: you are listening to this, it's probably been out for 834 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,759 Speaker 1: a week now. But I wanted to blind react to 835 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 1: Avengers Doomsday coming out in theaters on December eighteenth, my 836 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: second most anticipated movie of the year, obviously being a 837 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,359 Speaker 1: huge Marvel fan. With Spider Man coming out this week. 838 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,839 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, there's a lot to be excited about, 839 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 1: but there's also a lot to be worried about, and 840 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: I want to get into all that. But before we do, 841 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to blind react to the Avengers Doomsday trailer. 842 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: Watching it now for the very first time. You'll hear 843 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 1: me react throughout it. But it is, let's see, two 844 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,360 Speaker 1: minutes and twenty five seconds right now. It was posted 845 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: and it already has twenty four million views on day one, 846 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 1: not even a full eight hours at the time of 847 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 1: recording this, So all right, I'll hit play and then 848 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it on the other side. So right 849 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 1: now here is the full Avengers doomsday trailer. Save your school. 850 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 4: All right, something's coming. Let's come in. 851 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,920 Speaker 1: Dress your ex looking at you may not be able to. 852 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 1: Oh that's dousday is done. 853 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,960 Speaker 4: We should be faced with another thing about decision. 854 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: Oh it looks good. 855 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 4: I've fought with many warriors in my time. You far 856 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 4: then all of us put together, and they. 857 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:38,440 Speaker 1: Died Anymour's back died face black panthers. 858 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 4: And threats. That's getting me far less than this one. 859 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 1: Oh, Cyclops, we go gambit. 860 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,760 Speaker 3: Change Chi think that they sacrifice will be for nothing 861 00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,479 Speaker 3: if we do low eachilling together. 862 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,719 Speaker 4: Put aside your petty schools. 863 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:07,879 Speaker 1: Steak looks good. 864 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:15,360 Speaker 3: I presume nothing except this. If you return, who will return? 865 00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:24,800 Speaker 3: Has brothers and his sisters? Ah good, a lot of 866 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:35,080 Speaker 3: my words. We are going to need a miracle. 867 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 4: Mm hmm. Hey now that's not possible. 868 00:48:51,880 --> 00:49:07,360 Speaker 1: Oh oh okay, venders doomsday Infinity vision. Interesting. Decenumber eighteenth 869 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 1: is doomsday. 870 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:10,279 Speaker 4: Okay. 871 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 1: I have a lot of feelings about this. Okay, First, 872 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,279 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back and listen to what we heard 873 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,959 Speaker 1: at the beginning. Which I have to assume is Victor 874 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 1: von Doom. So this is Robert Downey Junior. It should be, 875 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: because the accent threw me off. 876 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 3: Let's hear, before this day is done, we should be 877 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,120 Speaker 3: faced with an unting above decision. 878 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, because we see doctor Doom there, all right, that 879 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:41,759 Speaker 1: sounds interesting, our first real full look at Doom. Here 880 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,800 Speaker 1: are my thoughts on this. It is very Thor heavy, 881 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 1: and that worries me a little bit. So let's get 882 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 1: into the negative first. I think just because we've already 883 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,880 Speaker 1: seen this, we've seen Thor go up against Stanos and fail. 884 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,399 Speaker 1: I don't know if Thor is the guy I want 885 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: to put taking down doctor dou but I have to 886 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: imagine it has to be Thor because Chris Hemsworth is 887 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,280 Speaker 1: that pillar, the one connecting us to all the original 888 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 1: Avengers movies. He is that guy. He is that prominent 889 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 1: of a character. Chris Hemsworth is that prominent of an actor. 890 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,640 Speaker 1: You kind of have to put him there, But I 891 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,520 Speaker 1: don't entirely love it. There are some really good shots 892 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,080 Speaker 1: of him going up against Doom and basically letting out 893 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:31,400 Speaker 1: all the thunder, and then Victor von Doom just stops 894 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: him not even with this full hand. It looks like 895 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:39,279 Speaker 1: maybe two fingers. Then he stops Thor. So if Thor 896 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,000 Speaker 1: couldn't take out Thanos, what makes you think that he 897 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,320 Speaker 1: needs to be the dude to go up against Doom. 898 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at it right now, two fingers 899 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 1: and he's holding back Thor, who's giving him his awe. 900 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,239 Speaker 1: So that shows you how powerful Doom is. I mean, 901 00:50:55,320 --> 00:51:00,480 Speaker 1: in the Secret Wars comic, Doom annihilates Thanos, a much 902 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:04,520 Speaker 1: bigger threat than Thanos. I don't think Thor is the 903 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 1: guy to go up against him. But then at the 904 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 1: end of this trailer we see Captain America return. There 905 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 1: is Steve Rogers there with the long hair and the 906 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,880 Speaker 1: beard and the bomber jacket, basically in all black, and 907 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: he takes Thor's hammer again. He looks good, and we 908 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,640 Speaker 1: have to rely on Captain America. He has to be 909 00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 1: our savior. He is, I would say, our most powerful leader, 910 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 1: and he was supposed to be gone, but obviously he's 911 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 1: gonna come back, probably because of the money, which that 912 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,520 Speaker 1: annoys me a little bit. But as a Marvel moves 913 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,080 Speaker 1: into this new phase where they're kind of closing out 914 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 1: this chapter it's gonna get more into mutant heavy territory. 915 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,320 Speaker 1: I feel like this really has to be Steve Rogers Goodbye. 916 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 1: It either has to be in Doomsday or it has 917 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,880 Speaker 1: to be in Secret Wars. He can't go on past this, 918 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 1: Chris Evans just he has to go. I think that 919 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:02,319 Speaker 1: character is gonna have less impact the more you keep 920 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 1: him around, but I understand why you need him and 921 00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: why his character is necessary in this trailer and in 922 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:14,000 Speaker 1: this movie. The things that really excite me about this is. 923 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:14,680 Speaker 4: The X Man. 924 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,800 Speaker 1: I think I'm going to be the most excited to 925 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,719 Speaker 1: see all those characters come to life. We see more 926 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 1: of Cyclops in this which you heard me earlier. That 927 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,919 Speaker 1: makes me want to freak out because I'm so into 928 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 1: X Men ninety seven right now, which the first season fantastic. 929 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,719 Speaker 1: Season two is just as fantastic, and it fleshes out 930 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 1: the X Men in ways we've never had before in 931 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,839 Speaker 1: film where the characters were changed a lot. I feel 932 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 1: like it didn't fit the aesthetic the correct way. X 933 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:46,279 Speaker 1: Men ninety seven is the perfect representation of all individual 934 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 1: X Men, particularly with Cyclops. He shines so much more 935 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,600 Speaker 1: because you truly see how great of a leader he 936 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 1: is and how powerful he is, and that is what 937 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,000 Speaker 1: I want out of this movie, and we get that here. 938 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,319 Speaker 1: Obviously with the first look back when it was first 939 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 1: announced that James Marsen was returning, we saw that optic 940 00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 1: blast from Cyclops, but you see it way more here 941 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 1: in this trailer, and that is exciting. Even though I've 942 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 1: already thought that is gonna be the best scene in 943 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 1: the movie, and now I see it here in the trailer, 944 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:18,040 Speaker 1: I still feel like when that happens in theaters, I'm 945 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 1: gonna lose my mind. Because in this trailer you see 946 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 1: him walking out in the comic book accurate suit, highly 947 00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 1: influenced by the nineties look of Cyclops, and it looks fantastic. 948 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,360 Speaker 1: The fact that James Marsden played him back in the 949 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,120 Speaker 1: early two thousands in those first movies and now is 950 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 1: back feels so right. My second favorite thing is Gambit 951 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 1: Fighting Shang Chi, which I maybe a month or so 952 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,799 Speaker 1: agosted rewatching shang Chi. I think it came on maybe 953 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 1: we're on vacation on cable or I just started watching 954 00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,320 Speaker 1: it on the plane or something. But that's movie was 955 00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 1: so good, and we have been waiting for Shang Chi too, 956 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,320 Speaker 1: for so long to see him return in this and 957 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,719 Speaker 1: go up against Gambit, which was probably the best part 958 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 1: of Deadpoll and Wolverine as far as cameos that I 959 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,560 Speaker 1: wanted to see go further because Channing Tatum has been 960 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,120 Speaker 1: wanting to play Gambit his entire life, and I love 961 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,920 Speaker 1: his take on the character. I know he's a bigger, 962 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,800 Speaker 1: bulkier dude, but I rather have somebody who is so 963 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 1: passionate about Gambit playing Gambit than somebody that looks just 964 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:24,960 Speaker 1: more like him. I love his take on the character 965 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,240 Speaker 1: with the accent, and seeing him here in the suit 966 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 1: with the powers, I think looks fantastic. And then, oddly 967 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,880 Speaker 1: what's the least exciting to me is seeing all the 968 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,879 Speaker 1: teams come together. You see the Fantastic Four enter the room, 969 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 1: you see the Thunderbolts there, which is basically the new Avengers. 970 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,640 Speaker 1: Ant Man is back, we have Anthony Mackie in here. 971 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 1: That's a crazy room. Though, when you see all those 972 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 1: teams together, the Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four and then Thor just 973 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,440 Speaker 1: staring them down, I don't think one character in that 974 00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 1: room that I'm looking at right now, at about the 975 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 1: thirty nine second mark, I would really be interested in 976 00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,880 Speaker 1: seeing a solo movie, which is something that is so 977 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 1: different from the early Avengers movies where it was all 978 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 1: about those individual movies and them coming together as a team. 979 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 1: It almost takes this entire room to even give me 980 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of excitement. So I think that is 981 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,440 Speaker 1: indicative of what is going to come from all these 982 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,440 Speaker 1: Avengers movies. I am still excited about it. I'm curious 983 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,600 Speaker 1: to see how Loki fits in there. Like I mentioned earlier, 984 00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,480 Speaker 1: what I'm most excited about is the X Men's storyline. 985 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,680 Speaker 1: We see mystique in here. It looks like it's going 986 00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,720 Speaker 1: to be a darker Avengers movie. Just by the tone 987 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,440 Speaker 1: the colors of this trailer, I feel like we're going 988 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,040 Speaker 1: to lose some people. Somebody has to die by the 989 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 1: end of Doomsday. Is it going to be Captain America? 990 00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,839 Speaker 1: That would be my heavy favorite. I would put money 991 00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:52,640 Speaker 1: on DraftKings on Captain America not making it through this movie. 992 00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 1: I also think looking at what is coming before it 993 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 1: and who is not going to be in Doomsday is 994 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,799 Speaker 1: another big indicator. Because we have Spider Man coming out 995 00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:05,960 Speaker 1: this week, but he is not a part of Doomsday, 996 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:10,240 Speaker 1: and Kevin Fagey did confirm that Brand New Day takes 997 00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:13,680 Speaker 1: place before Doomsday. Not necessarily it leads right into it 998 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 1: as far as the MCU timeline, but it is confirmed 999 00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,040 Speaker 1: that it is set before the events of Doomsday. So 1000 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,560 Speaker 1: I have to imagine, obviously we're gonna get an end 1001 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:28,160 Speaker 1: credit scene in Spider Man and overall where his character 1002 00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,040 Speaker 1: is going is going to lead into Doomsday, but he's 1003 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,239 Speaker 1: not going to be a part of it. He has 1004 00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,040 Speaker 1: to be a part of Secret Wars, because that is 1005 00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,959 Speaker 1: my favorite moment of Secret Wars is when he gets 1006 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,480 Speaker 1: the Symbiote suit and he turns into Black Suit Spider Man. 1007 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,960 Speaker 1: That has to be in Secret Wars. They can't change 1008 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,560 Speaker 1: it that much. I think. I do like Robert Downey Jr. 1009 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,279 Speaker 1: Is a villain. I am not as opposed to it 1010 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,880 Speaker 1: as I initially was thinking. Man, it's gonna feel weird 1011 00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,440 Speaker 1: rooting against Iron Man, or it's gonna feel very odd 1012 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 1: seeing Robert Downey Junior back in the MCU after what 1013 00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:08,040 Speaker 1: happened to Iron Man. It felt cash grabby, It felt cheap. 1014 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,400 Speaker 1: It felt like the MCU just saying we need Robert 1015 00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,840 Speaker 1: Downey Junior because he is our cash cow. He is 1016 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:17,040 Speaker 1: who people pay money to go see. But after watching 1017 00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 1: this trailer, it makes sense to me. It all looks 1018 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,520 Speaker 1: like it's gonna work out. The only thing, again, that 1019 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,360 Speaker 1: is a little bit worrisome is the fact that it 1020 00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 1: kind of just feels like the remnants of Endgame. So 1021 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,760 Speaker 1: I need this movie to feel like its own thing. 1022 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 1: I needed to have a lot on the line. That's 1023 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,400 Speaker 1: why I say somebody has to die by the end 1024 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 1: of this movie. Otherwise it's gonna start feeling like they're 1025 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 1: just holding onto the glory days, which is how I'm 1026 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 1: starting to feel about Chris Hemsworth and Chris Heavens. It 1027 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,080 Speaker 1: kind of feels like people. And again, I love these 1028 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,160 Speaker 1: two characters, but I have to make a comparison here 1029 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,840 Speaker 1: that peaked in high school and now still come around 1030 00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 1: their high school like they crushed it on the football team, 1031 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,920 Speaker 1: they were one game away from winning state, and now 1032 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,480 Speaker 1: they're in college, but they still come around to their 1033 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 1: high school to relive their glory days and to hang 1034 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 1: out with the coaches and their teachers and be like, 1035 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,400 Speaker 1: oh man, I'm so glad I'm out of this place. 1036 00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 1: So glad you're out of this place. Why do you 1037 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: keep hanging around? That's kind of how I feel about it, 1038 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: and I don't want to feel that way because I'm 1039 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,120 Speaker 1: gonna be a total fanboy about this movie. I'm just 1040 00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:28,040 Speaker 1: considering all the options of what we are going to 1041 00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 1: get out of the MCU, which they are digging further 1042 00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,959 Speaker 1: into the well. They are working on a Nova movie, 1043 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 1: which is a lesser known Marvel character, but a fan 1044 00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 1: favorite and one that people have been asking to have 1045 00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,680 Speaker 1: a Nova film for a long time. First appeared back 1046 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy six in an issue of Super Avengers. 1047 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:53,120 Speaker 1: And this is the Marvel formula. They go back through 1048 00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,480 Speaker 1: the archive and find characters they have the movie rights too. 1049 00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,440 Speaker 1: That is how the Avengers were built, because initially Marvel 1050 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 1: went bankrupt, they started selling off all their characters. That 1051 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 1: is why to this day they don't have the rights 1052 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,360 Speaker 1: to Spider Man. And that is how they built the 1053 00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:11,920 Speaker 1: Avengers movies. Is they used all the characters that they 1054 00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,800 Speaker 1: had the rights to to build that team, and they 1055 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,920 Speaker 1: made it work, and they formed our love for these 1056 00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,680 Speaker 1: characters that not a lot of people were familiar with 1057 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:24,560 Speaker 1: unless you were a comic book nerd. And now they're 1058 00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,960 Speaker 1: the ones that everybody roots for and does not want 1059 00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,160 Speaker 1: to let go, And that is what I worry about 1060 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,040 Speaker 1: with Doomsday. Are we just not ready to let go 1061 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,560 Speaker 1: of the glory days of Marvel so much so that 1062 00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:40,200 Speaker 1: we're bringing back the biggest actor to now play a villain. 1063 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,720 Speaker 1: But I'm excited for it. The run time for this 1064 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 1: movie is two hours and forty five minutes. That is 1065 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:52,040 Speaker 1: a beefy superhero movie, so there's gonna be a lot 1066 00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 1: of characters, hopefully a lot of action. With the last 1067 00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 1: couple of phases not working out so well as far 1068 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,360 Speaker 1: as financially and being well received by the fan base, 1069 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,440 Speaker 1: I think including the X Men is going to be 1070 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,000 Speaker 1: the thing that feels like a breath of fresh air. 1071 01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:11,320 Speaker 1: Even though that in itself is kind of a reboot 1072 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,560 Speaker 1: of what started Marvel in film back in the late 1073 01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:18,040 Speaker 1: nineties and early two thousands, I think that is now 1074 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,120 Speaker 1: what the fans have an appetite for, and with the 1075 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:26,160 Speaker 1: MCU focusing on mutant stories after these Avengers movies wrap up, 1076 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 1: I think that is what we're gonna get a lot of. Also, 1077 01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,960 Speaker 1: great to see all the Black Panther characters in there. Again, 1078 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,400 Speaker 1: I am excited for it. On a scale of one 1079 01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:39,800 Speaker 1: to five of hype, I'm probably out of four right now, 1080 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,479 Speaker 1: where I'm more excited for Spider Man. This doesn't feel 1081 01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,480 Speaker 1: like the event yet, because this kind of feels like 1082 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:52,160 Speaker 1: setting the stage, reminding people of why we love these movies. 1083 01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:55,160 Speaker 1: I think the event is gonna be Avenger Secret Wars 1084 01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:59,000 Speaker 1: that doesn't come out until next year, December seventeenth, twenty 1085 01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,560 Speaker 1: twenty seven. And there you have it. That was my 1086 01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:05,240 Speaker 1: reaction to the Doomsday trailer. And that was this week's 1087 01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:09,720 Speaker 1: edition of Movie Mike Trailer Parks, and that is going 1088 01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,640 Speaker 1: to do it for another episode here of the podcast. 1089 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 1: But before I go, I gotta give my listeners shout 1090 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 1: out of the week, which usually comes to us from 1091 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:22,360 Speaker 1: a DM a comment on TikTok or YouTube dot com 1092 01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:26,440 Speaker 1: slash Mike Distro. Sometimes I venture over at a Facebook. 1093 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,400 Speaker 1: But this week we're going old school to the show email, 1094 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,520 Speaker 1: which is Moviemike d at gmail dot com.

I love reading emails 1102 01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:01,640 Speaker 1: just because in a world where everything is so fast paced, 1103 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,440 Speaker 1: I feel like an email you really take time to 1104 01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 1: sit down and write it, like back in the day 1105 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,240 Speaker 1: when they'd get a jar of ink and a quill 1106 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,480 Speaker 1: pen and just sit there and be like today Captain's 1107 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:16,280 Speaker 1: log I saw host in the city like something like that. 1108 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,920 Speaker 1: That's the only thing we have now is email, Amelia. 1109 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. First of all, I love that feedback 1110 01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:27,080 Speaker 1: because I kind of wonder sometimes the level of movie 1111 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,440 Speaker 1: fan that all you guys are. Some people like me 1112 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:31,640 Speaker 1: go to the movies every single week. I know because 1113 01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,680 Speaker 1: I get those dms on Friday night or Saturday, like, oh, 1114 01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:36,360 Speaker 1: I just went to go see this, can't wait to 1115 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,080 Speaker 1: hear your review. I always have those people in mind, 1116 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,720 Speaker 1: just because I feel like a lot of people are 1117 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,400 Speaker 1: as passionate about this that you go see everything every 1118 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,840 Speaker 1: week and then you want to hear about it on Monday. 1119 01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,720 Speaker 1: I like hearing about people who maybe don't even go 1120 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,600 Speaker 1: to the movies at all, or you wait for it 1121 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:59,200 Speaker 1: on streaming and my reviews to you, are you seeing 1122 01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:03,120 Speaker 1: that movie without seeing that movie, which sounds like your case, Amelia, 1123 01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,480 Speaker 1: where you got a busy life, you got some little ones. 1124 01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:07,440 Speaker 1: You don't have time to go to the movies all 1125 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,880 Speaker 1: the time, but you stay in the know of what 1126 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,520 Speaker 1: is good and what is bad, at least in my opinion, 1127 01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:15,640 Speaker 1: so hopefully someday you do end up watching these And 1128 01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:19,400 Speaker 1: then second what you said here, Yes, Kelsey was very 1129 01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,200 Speaker 1: blunt in her review of The Breadwinner, which we both 1130 01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,560 Speaker 1: thought that is in the running for the worst movie 1131 01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 1: of the year. So that is every single month where 1132 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:30,439 Speaker 1: we do our recap episode. So appreciate that note.
