The first ever summer blockbuster was in 26 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy five. You know what it was, Steven Spielberg 27 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: movie about a big creature wreaking havoc on a beach. 28 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: You know that movie Jaws that is credited as the 29 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: first one. Other people credit Star Wars in nineteen seventy 30 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: seven is also being one of the first big ones. 31 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: But now we every summer, we just come to expect 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: big summer blockbuster movies, and not only are they movies 33 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: making a bunch of money during the summer, but oftentimes 34 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: they're the number one movie out of the entire year. 35 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: So what will be doing on this episode of this 36 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: new summer series is this week we'll be looking at 37 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: the top highest grossing movies of the tents. And if 38 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: you listening to this enjoy this series, we'll go back 39 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: and do the two thousands, and then if you really 40 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: enjoy the series, we'll do the nineties and as far 41 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: back as we could go, it would be the eighties, 42 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: because if it started in the mid seventies, that's all 43 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: we really have to go. And for the purpose of 44 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: this list, we are going to defund the summer blockbuster 45 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: season as kicking off on the first weekend of May 46 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: and then wrapping up on the first weekend of September. 47 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: Starting it out first. Now with the year, I'm gonna 48 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: give you three movies. All you have to do is 49 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: name which one you think made the most of the 50 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: box office? All right, first movie is Toy Story three, 51 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: second movie is iron Man two, and third movie is 52 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: Twilight Eclipse. Which one do you think made the most 53 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: at the box office? Iron Man too, It is not 54 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: iron Man two. That comes in at number two with 55 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:54,119 Speaker 1: three and twelve million. Below that is Twilight with three 56 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: hundred million. At number one was Toy Story three, making 57 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty million dollars adjusted for inflation. That 58 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: is so. I remember how big Toy Story three was, 59 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: and I think it was a combination of the original 60 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: one coming out in the nineties. So everybody that was 61 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: a kid either had kids of their own now or 62 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: they were just at that point in their life where 63 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: they wanted to go back and relive their childhood. So 64 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: you had the people who loved it way back in 65 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: the day, and then of course everybody taking their kids, 66 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: and you can never really roll out a kid's movie 67 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: at the box office. Which I think is we go 68 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: through this entire list, we're gonna see a lot of 69 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: superhero movies, big action movies. Kids movies just dominate, and 70 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: then the occasional comedy will make the list. But Toy 71 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: Story three, I think, out of these three movies, if 72 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: I can only keep one, that would be the one. 73 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: I feel like you kind of just gave away some answers. 74 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: She told me, kids movies and superheroes do well. How 75 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: am I supposed to guess? Well, they're all gonna be 76 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: in there just looking at the different types of movies. 77 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: That's what we're going to see. You'll still have to 78 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: pick which one. Which one would you keep? If you 79 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: can only pick one of those, why for the rest 80 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: of your life, I mean, neither of them, you can 81 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: pick none. No, I'm deciding between iron Man and Toy Story. 82 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: Iron Man two wasn't the best one, but I think 83 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: it was because it was coming off of Iron Man, 84 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: which was so good. Iron Man two was pretty forgettable. 85 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: I guess Toy Story because someday when we have kids 86 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: like we can watch Toy Story with them, all four 87 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: of them, all four No, No, all four of the 88 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: Toy Story movies for the kids. I wish everyone could 89 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: have just seen my face. No, all four Toy Story 90 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: movies that all four children. All right, let's move on 91 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: to eleven. I'll give you the three movies you tell 92 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: me the highest grossing one? Was it Transformers? Dark of 93 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: the Moon? Was it Harry Potter and the Deathly Hellos 94 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: Part two? Or was it Hangover Part two? For sure? 95 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: Not Hangover Part two? Okay, for sure? Not it is 96 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: Harry Potter. At number one was Harry Potter, which made 97 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: four and thirty two point six million dollars almost half 98 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: a billion. At number two, Dark Sides of the Moon 99 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: made three eighty one million, and then at number three, 100 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: The Hangover Part two made two four million, which is 101 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: a lot of money for a comedy. For a comedy sequel, yeah, 102 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have even been made. I agree. Well, Hangover 103 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: two is basically the exact same thing as The Hangover. 104 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: Hangover was a little bit more of a unexpected success. 105 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: It was just so big and everybody loved it when 106 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: it came out that the demand was so high to 107 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: make a sequel. So I think those numbers are just 108 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: reflective on everybody loving the first one and wanted to 109 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: go see the second one. Regardless they sold out and 110 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: just wanted money. I mean, look at Christin Wiggs, she 111 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: refuses to write a Bridesmaids too. Yeah, but I don't 112 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: think they sold out. I think they bought in. They 113 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: made so much money off of that trilogy. But yes, 114 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: a trilogy that probably didn't deserve to be made. But 115 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: I still enjoy every single Hangover movie. I don't think 116 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: they're all. I think the first one is the best 117 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: first and it you know, thing else can really touch 118 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: that one. But every one that came after that, two 119 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: and three I still enjoy. I think it's because of 120 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: the characters. It's still entertaining. Would I recommend them to 121 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: anybody if you haven't seen them, not two or three one. 122 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: But I just think as a trilogy, it's a it's weak, 123 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: it's very just Hangover one, do it two more times? 124 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: Make your money. Yeah, Transformers, those movies dominated so much 125 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: of the box office when they came out. Were these 126 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: stole the ones? With Schila Buff and Fox. Yes, Dark 127 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: of the Moon still had Megan Fox and Shila Buff 128 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: and these movies were so popular, but now kind of 129 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: forgotten about. I think it's because later they stopped being 130 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: good and either Mark Wahlberg in there and people stopped caring. 131 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: Amazing how popular they were at the height of everybody's interest, 132 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: but now I don't really go back and want to 133 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: watch your Transformers movie. And then Harry Potter and the 134 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: Deathly Hallows Part two, that's the final one, Like obviously 135 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna dominate the box office with the final one 136 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: came out in two thousand eleven. Yes, when we were 137 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: looking at this list version, we're gonna go back twenty 138 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: years and you were like, that's two thousand and two. Eiphany, 139 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: that twenty years ago was two thousand and two, and 140 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: I feel old. Let's move on now to twelve. I'll 141 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: give you the three movies Great summer graduated high school. 142 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: Do you think it was The Dark Knight Rises, The 143 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: Amazing Spider Man or The Avengers Dark Knight Rises. The 144 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: answer is at number one, making six hundred and ninety 145 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: two million dollars domestically The Avengers and then coming in 146 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: Right below that at four hundred and forty eight million 147 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: was The Dark Knight Rises, and then at number three 148 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: was The Amazing Spider Man two d and sixty two million. 149 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: Looking at twelve, I feel like this is pretty representative 150 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: of what has been successful at the box office for 151 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: a very long time. You have three superhero movies in 152 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: the top three summer blockbuster movies, one basically being a 153 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: compilation album of all the best superheroes and the first 154 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: time we've ever seen a movie like that, Dark Knight 155 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: Rises being a follow up to one of the I 156 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: would say, the greatest comic book movie ever made. And 157 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: then The Amazing Spider Man, which wasn't as well received 158 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: by critics, but I felt like die hard Spider Man 159 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: fans like myself still enjoyed it, but still made two 160 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: d and sixty two million dollars. That's still a lot 161 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: of money, so kind of proving that even if you 162 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: make a movie that everybody doesn't love, you'll still go 163 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: out to see it because it is Spider Man. Of 164 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: those three, I think the one I go back to 165 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: the most it's probably Dark Knight Rises. Yeah, it's like 166 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: one of your favorite movies, and Dark Knight Dark Knight 167 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: is my all time favorite, but I feel like Dark 168 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: Knight Rises is right up there as well. I was 169 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: getting them confused. I forgot that there's just a Dark 170 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: Knight and then a Dark Knight Rises, And I remember 171 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: seeing that one in theaters for the first time and 172 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: thinking that Bain was such a more ferocious villain than 173 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: Joker was. I felt like Joker was so unique based 174 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: on the way that Heath Ledger played him and everything 175 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: surrounding him. But as far as the movie going experience, 176 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: like I had such a I want Bain to fail 177 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: so much in Dark Knight Rises, and it kind of 178 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: got something a little bit out of me more than 179 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: I did when I watched The Dark Knight for the 180 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: first time. Going back now and rewatching both of them, 181 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: I still think that Dark Knight Heath Letters performance can't 182 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: be touched. So that is moving on now to which 183 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: one do you think made the most iron Man three, 184 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: Despicable Me Too or Man of Steel Despicable Mean Too? 185 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: That would be incorrect. At number one. It's iron Man three, 186 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: making four and forty million dollars at the box office 187 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: that summer. Despicable Wade came in two three and seventy 188 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: six million, and then at number three would be Man 189 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: of Steel with two d and nine million. Yeah, I 190 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: didn't love Man of Steel when it first came out. 191 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: I found myself rewatching it now and being a little 192 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: bit more in the Superman and character now that Henry 193 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: Cowell is not even going to play him anymore. It's 194 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: kind of weird to go back and enjoy that now. 195 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: And I know so many people love that Man is 196 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: Steel movie, but I just failed to get into that hype. 197 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit more into the DC hype right now, 198 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: and I find myself liking a lot more of the 199 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: animated stuff with you have seen me get into recently. 200 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: I just find it a little bit more entertaining. I 201 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: find the stories better in the animated stuff, But as 202 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: far as the on screen newer Batman and Superman stuff, 203 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: they have not been my favorite. Despicab will be too, however, 204 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: I love that movie. There's something about minions that just 205 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: makes me happy, and I think makes everybody happy. And 206 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: then iron Man three was probably the biggest let down 207 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: for me because iron Man was so popular in he 208 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: was basically carrying the Avengers. Iron Man three just left 209 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: a lot to be desired. I feel like Iron Man 210 00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: three is probably one of the weakest Marvel movies all together. 211 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: So it's kind of weird of Iron Man being so 212 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: high up there and then two and three kind of 213 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: being in my lower tier of Marvel movies. But as 214 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: Iron Man going on, Now you have is it Guardians 215 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: of the Galaxy, Is it Maleficent or is it Transformers 216 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: Age of Extinction? Guardians of the Galaxy hands town That 217 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: is correct, not only the number one highest grossing movie 218 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: of the summer, but also the highest grossing movie of 219 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: the entire year, making three hundred and seventy one million 220 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: dollars at the box office. Transformers Age of Extinction made 221 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: two forty five million, and Maleficent made two hundred and 222 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: forty one million dollars. Never really got into the live 223 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: action Disney Maleficent, all those kind of movies. I've still 224 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: never seen it. I always just see the trailers and 225 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: they look so boring to me. I don't really like 226 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: period pieces, and I don't really like old Disney movies 227 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: placed in like weird fairy tale times. I just had 228 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: no desire to see it. And then you have Transformer Man. 229 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: I was checked out of it by then and then 230 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: Guarding into the Galaxy one of the top tier Marvel movies. 231 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: Unexpectedly funny, Yes, yes, and especially at a time where 232 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: all the other solo movies were just so serious, it 233 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: was fun and refreshing. And I think that's kind of 234 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: what made me love James Gunn and he did such 235 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: a great job in those and I can't wait to 236 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: see what he's gonna do with volume three. I didn't 237 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: think I would love that going into it. I was 238 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: like a green girl like trees don't name groot and 239 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: a raccoon like that's stupid. And now I love those movies. 240 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: I felt like a lot of people had that similar 241 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: feeling going into it of you know, Bradley Cooper playing 242 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: a raccoon, but there's so much that goes into that character. 243 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: Vin Diesel saying one word and getting paid millions to 244 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: do that. I am moving on now to do you 245 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: think the highest grossing movie was Avengers, Age of Ultron 246 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: Inside Out or Jurassic War Old Avengers Age of Ultron 247 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: came in at number two, four hundred and fifty nine million, 248 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: and right above it is Jurassic World, making seven hundred 249 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: and twelve million dollars at the box office. At number 250 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: three was Inside Out with three d and fifty six million. 251 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: Seven told. That's even more than Avejurs made. It's a 252 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: lot of money. Yeah, And I find it pretty surprising 253 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: how much the Jurassic World and the original Jurassic Park 254 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: movies make. I think what they have going for them 255 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: is kind of what we saw some other parts of 256 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: this list of you have the people who are just 257 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 1: fans of Jurassic Park. It's a big franchise. Yeah, it's 258 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: a continuation of that, So there's a lot more people 259 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: already invested in it and gonna go see it, kind 260 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: of like we saw with Top Gun. Now everybody who 261 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: loves that movie in the eighties went back and flocks 262 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: to see it now. So I think it's also one 263 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: of the most perfect types of summer blockbuster movies. Big 264 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: dinosaurs on the screen, running around chasing humans. You don't 265 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: really need to understand a whole lot, like that's all 266 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: you need. And I think for me, that's what I 267 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: kind of go to the movies in the summer looking for. 268 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: I want to turn my brain off. I don't want 269 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: to think about the problems of the outside world. I 270 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: want to see something completely out there and not think 271 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: about it for two hours. So I think that's why 272 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: those Jurassic Park movies do so well. And later in 273 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: the movie review, we'll see if it helds up two 274 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: expectations this time around. Moving on to sixteen, do you 275 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: think it was Finding Dory, Captain America Civil War or 276 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: the Secret Life of Pets. I'm gonna go Captain America 277 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: Civil War that came in at number two, making four 278 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: hundred and eight million dollars. At number one making five 279 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: hundred and six million dollars, was Finding Dorry. Yeah, I 280 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: guess I shouldn't know that kids movies. You can't movies 281 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: the last time and it was wrong. So I give 282 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: up on this game. But it's a follow up to 283 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: Finding Nemo, which came out in two thousand and three. 284 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: You kind of have the same thing going here thirteen 285 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: years later. And three podcast just making me feel like 286 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: I need to go like put on my wrinkle cream. 287 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: Out of those three, most surprising is the Secret Life 288 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: of Pets number three with three and sixty eight million dollars. 289 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: That is shocking because it is a new movie, and 290 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: I guess it's maybe the Pet Angle. It's from DreamWorks 291 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: who is Hit or Miss on their animated movies. I 292 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: did go see that movie in theaters mainly because Louis c. 293 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: K was a voice in it and Kevin Hart, so 294 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: it had that aspect of comedians doing voices in that. Okay, 295 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: so it still had grown men going to see it, 296 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: So we still had a factor there. Yeah, moving on 297 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,119 Speaker 1: now to seventeen. Do you think it was Spider Man Homecoming, 298 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: Guardians of the Galaxy Too, or Wonder Woman? All three 299 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: superhero movies? Which one do you think made the most? 300 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: Spider Man to Homecoming was second? Andrew Garfield one is 301 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: this is the first Tom Holland one. That's right, That's right, okay, 302 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: and then Guardians of the Galaxy Too? And Wonder Woman? 303 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: Which one made the most in seventeen. I'm gonna go 304 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: Guardians of the Galaxy Too. That one came in at 305 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: number two, nine million. Below that was Spider Man Homecoming 306 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: with three thirty four million. At number one with four 307 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen million dollars was a wonder Woman and 308 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: this was the first big win for d C. This 309 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: movie put gal Gadot on the map, put director Patty 310 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: Jenkins runton center. And I think it kind of gave everybody, Uh, 311 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: I guess younger girls who haven't had a movie to 312 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: look at a character and be like, hey, that's me, 313 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: Like that could be me. I think this was that 314 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: first glimpse at that, and I loved it so much 315 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: because after Batman Versus Superman, which was such a bad movie, 316 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: she was the only kind of glimmering hope to come 317 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: from that, like, oh, wonder Woman is actually awesome. So 318 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: I loved Wonder Woman and was kind of taken back 319 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: at how much people didn't like Wonder Woman and how 320 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: that movie was one of the ones that came out 321 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: streaming and in theaters but at a time where theaters 322 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: weren't really happening anymore. So they lost a lot of 323 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: money on that movie. So it's kind of a big 324 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: drastic fall to go from having the number one movie 325 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: of the summer to having one that people now regard 326 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: as one of the worst superhero movies of all time. 327 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: So that kind of sucks. But yeah, Guardians of the 328 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: Galaxy to was another great addition, and then Spider Man 329 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: Homecoming was awesome because I felt like they finally got 330 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: Peter Parker right, and I remember having that emotion coming 331 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: out of it like he's back. I guess after the 332 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: Andrew Garfield movies, a lot of people were checked out 333 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: of people making Spider Man movies. I still like Andrew 334 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: Garfields too. I like him more now than I did 335 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: when he was doing those movies. Like going back now 336 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: seeing him in that role, it kind of makes me 337 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: a little bit like I should have given him more 338 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: credit back then. But I'm sure he doesn't sleep at 339 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: night because yeah him credit, he knows. Alright. Moving on 340 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: now to which one do you think made the most? 341 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: Was it Incredibles Too, Deadpool two, or Jurassic World fall 342 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: in Kingdom? Okay, see here we've got Jurassic World, which 343 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: is a nostalgia, but we also have Incredible too. I'm 344 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: gonna Incredible two is everyone was excited for that to 345 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: come out. Well, at number three would be Deadpool two 346 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: eighteen million, and then at number two making four hundred 347 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: and seventeen million was Jurassic World Falling Kingdom. So you 348 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: were correct. Number one was Incredibles To, making six hundred 349 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: and eight million dollars at the box office according to 350 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: box office Mojo, and that is Yeah, that's an nostalgia 351 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: factor and also a sequel that people were asking for 352 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: forever the Incredibles, and Pixar rarely does sequels. Took forever 353 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: for Finding Dory, took forever for The Incredibles too, So 354 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: when they do make a sequel, they know that people 355 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: are going to want a story that lives up to 356 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: the original, and they're gonna spend time to get that right, 357 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: spend time to make the animation worthy of how being 358 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: an updated version, and then also know whenever they put 359 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: it out is just going to dominate. So that's a 360 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: pretty big win for pick Sary having the biggest movie 361 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: of the summer going against Jurassic World making also half 362 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: a billion dollars, and we've made it to the final year. 363 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,239 Speaker 1: On the list ten, which movie made the most? Was 364 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: it The Lion King, the live action version, Toy Story four, 365 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: or Spider Man Far From Home? Which one made the 366 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: most in twenty nineteen. Spider Man Spider Man came in 367 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: at number three. Far From Home made three and ninety 368 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: million dollars, Toy Story four made four hundred and thirty 369 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: four million dollars, and at number one, You Don't Roll 370 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: Out Disney making five hundred and forty three million dollars. 371 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: Was The Lion King. You have a face of disgust. 372 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: I just don't think that should have been number one. Yeah, 373 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: I feel like that was a very forgettable live action 374 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: Disney movie. But I think The Lion King is arguably 375 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: so many people's favorite Disney movie of all time. And 376 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: there was so much hype around this from the soundtrack, 377 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: from everybody who they cast to voice it, and also 378 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: it was a relatively I mean, it wasn't a brand 379 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: new concept, but I remember a lot of people wondering 380 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: what does a live action Lion King movie even mean? 381 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: Like are they going to get real animals and Mike 382 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: com up? But it was basically just paid more to 383 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: see that. I would have paid more to see that. 384 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: I mean, can Zoo do that? I'm sure there's like 385 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: YouTube videos like that where people would just record animals 386 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: and overdub. That probably would have been a little bit 387 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: more entertaining. Because the weird thing about it is they 388 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: made the exact same movie, didn't really change a whole 389 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: lot about it, but it was just like they gave 390 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: it an h D feel. So what it lost for 391 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: me was the charm of the original. It didn't have 392 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: a warmth to it. It didn't really have a connection 393 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: to the characters. You just had like these animated, realistic 394 00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: looking animals acting out basically a big dramatic I think 395 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: something like that, where like you have people like voicing 396 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: The Lion King does better on Broadway. Yeah, like the 397 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: Lion King on Broadway. I've heard it's phenomenal. I would 398 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: like to see that someday. So I feel like, couldn't 399 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: we have cast those people and done it like Broadway 400 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: a little more theatrical? You say yes? And number two 401 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: with Toy Story four, I didn't love that one. I 402 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: felt like it was a movie that didn't really need 403 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: to be made. Toy Story three left a perfect ending 404 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: to a trilogy. There is some fun elements to Toy 405 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: Story four, but that's probably everybody just kind of wanting 406 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: a little bit more of the characters to go back 407 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: and watch that one, to make that with such a 408 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: bag success. And then Spider Man Far from Home. I mean, 409 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: you know how much I love all those movies. So 410 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: we saw it together. We was like one of the 411 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: first like summer blockbusters we have to see because things 412 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: when we were still long distance A great one to 413 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: see together. And now if you're wondering where does Avengers 414 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: Endgame rank in nineteen It came out in April, so 415 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: it is the summer blockbuster day. But that one made 416 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty eight million dollars, so almost a 417 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: billion dollars in the United States alone, So that is insane. 418 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: And then since we are here at the end of 419 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: the twenty tens and it would be a long time 420 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: before we could do the twenties, we'll look at what 421 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: do you think the highest grossing movie of summer was? 422 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: Nothing really came out that summer. Yeah, everything kind of 423 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: stopped around March. There's like one movie that came out 424 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: in the summer but only made fifty eight million dollars. 425 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: What do you think it was? I'm trying to remember 426 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: what came out. Did Tennant come out that year? It 427 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: is Tenant? And that was kind of weird because it 428 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: came out on HBO Max and then very few theaters, 429 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: and that's mainly because Christopher Nolan just wanted to see 430 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: it shown in theaters. I felt like they should have 431 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: held that movie a little bit, probably would have done better. 432 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: Probably would have done better because we didn't really get 433 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: that feeling of it. I would have paid more attention 434 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: if I was in the theater and couldn't have used phone, 435 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: I got lost in the first ten minutes and checked out. 436 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: It's already a difficult movie to understand, and when you're 437 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: at home and watching a movie that's difficult to understand, 438 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: it's very easy to to now. I feel like I 439 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: would have at least maybe enjoyed it a little bit 440 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: more seeing it in the theater, But it's also one 441 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: I haven't revisited since, so who knows. And then in 442 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: one what do you think? The number one highest grossing 443 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: movie was of the summer, Black Widow, that is correct, 444 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: making a hundred and eighty three million dollars at the 445 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 1: box office. At number two was the first movie we 446 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: saw back in theaters, and it was nine f nine 447 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,239 Speaker 1: making a hundred and seventy three million dollars. And then 448 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: at number three, just about closing out the summer, coming 449 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 1: out in August, was Free Guy, making a twenty one 450 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: million dollars. This is kind of where stuff started to 451 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: come back, but it was mainly all the movies that 452 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: got delayed from starting to release. So I feel like 453 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: one is a weird year because it should have been 454 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: twenties basically, and nothing really felt like it had rhyme 455 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: and reason to the release schedule. It was just like, 456 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: what can come out, what feels comfortable releasing on this weekend, 457 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: what's going to keep getting delayed? What's going to come 458 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: out on Disney Plus at the same time or HBO 459 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: Max at the same time. So that's also a really 460 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: weird year to look at, and I feel like, looking 461 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: at two now, this is going to be the comeback 462 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: year where everything looks a little bit normal. So far, 463 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: dominating the box office is dr Strange. Top Gun is 464 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: right below it, but it's also just had less of 465 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: a theatrical run so far. So I feel like that 466 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: maybe the number one movie of the summer for the year. 467 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: They've got Jurassic Jurassic coming out, Jurassic World, Durrassical the names, 468 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: Jurassic thor Thor coming out. But I feel out of 469 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: all the summer movies, the one that will probably win 470 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: his Top Gun and that has the ability to be 471 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: the number one highest grossing movie of the year. Great movie. 472 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: I would see it again. I would too, and not 473 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: just because my teller takes us right now, Okay, that's 474 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 1: what you liked in that movie. All right, if you 475 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: enjoyed that, let us know and maybe next week or 476 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: the following week we'll do the two thousand's. Ye'll see 477 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: what works in my schedule. All right, we'll see. And 478 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: now it's time for a spoiler free movie review talking 479 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: about Jurassic World Dominion, which was one of my most 480 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: anticipated movies of the summer. The trailer really banked in 481 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: on the nostalgia factor, bringing back Jeff Goldbloom, Sam Neil, 482 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: Laura Dern, and that's why I was excited about it. 483 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: So did it live up to those expectations? Let's talk 484 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: about that. But before we get into this review, here's 485 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: just a little bit of the Jurassic World Dominion trailer. 486 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: If our world is gonna survives, matters is what we do? Now? 487 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: How can you use your expertise? You come out on 488 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: what a baby raptor. I made a promise we would 489 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: bear home. You've made a promise toward dinosaur. Yeah, boy. 490 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: So let's talk about what this movie is about. It 491 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: is the finale of the saga of the Jurassic World movies, 492 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: and you find yourself back with the old characters from 493 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: the original movie. So Sam Neil and Laura Derner back, 494 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: you have Jeff gold Bloom back and it's kind of 495 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: like the Old School meets the New School with Chris Pratt. 496 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: They are again trying to save the world. It takes 497 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: place four years after the last Jurassic Park movie, and 498 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: now that that island has been destroyed, all of the 499 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: dinosaurs are kind of living among the humans, which I 500 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,239 Speaker 1: thought was cool and I actually wanted to see more of. 501 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: You have the O G Jurassic Park crew trying to 502 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: save the world from this evil corporation, and then you 503 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: have Chris Pratt, as you heard in that trailer, trying 504 00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: to reunite the raptor named Blue with their child. So 505 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: it's those two stories coming together informing in this movie, 506 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: and I gotta say that plot left a lot to 507 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: be desired. It felt very disjointed at times, where you 508 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: have two completely different things going on at the same time, 509 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: you don't really get invested in either one of them. 510 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: Laura Dern and Sam Neil are cool to see back 511 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: together again, but banking off the nostalgia factor, it didn't 512 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: really cash in at any point, which we've seen movies 513 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: do this fairly recently, just earlier this year. Also from 514 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: the nineties Scream came out, and it was kind of 515 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: like that team getting back together for one last mission. 516 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: That's what you kind of find here, But it didn't 517 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 1: really feel like much of a reason to get them 518 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: back together, and the whole thing just kind of came 519 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: together quickly, so when they first came on screen, I 520 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: didn't really have that feeling of like, oh, they're back 521 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 1: like I have in other movies. Some people gave a 522 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: little like one to clap, like a failed big cheering moment, 523 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: so that didn't feel completely like a big moment to me, 524 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: and there were a lot of nostalgic moment It's little 525 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: easter eggs as an ode to the original movie, but 526 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: for a movie that's almost two and a half hours long, 527 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: it's not going to keep my interests by just telling 528 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: me and reminding me how cool the original one was. 529 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: So it got us all back there to relive that 530 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: kind of original movie, but didn't really form enough to 531 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: kind of update it. And they're trying to kind of 532 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: really force this plot of the old school meets the 533 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: news school, and I just didn't really find it working 534 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: for a movie that's almost two and a half hours long. 535 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: I found myself bored at moments, and I don't think 536 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: this is a bad movie. Like I don't leave the 537 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: theater after seeing this movie thinking, I, you know, got 538 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: ripped off. It's still a fairly entertaining movie. But for 539 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: it's something that had so much action and so many 540 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: things happening, cool visuals, and I'll get into the more 541 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: about the dinosaurs, you just don't really care and never 542 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: really get invested in the story. And I think that's 543 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: what the original Jurassic Park did so well, also what 544 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: The Lost World did so well. And I think the 545 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: problem I had with this movie is there was no 546 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: imagination when it came to how they showed the action 547 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: with the dinosaurs. The original movie, it was so much 548 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: more of a treat when you actually had the dinosaurs 549 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: on screen. And I know that's a little bit more 550 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: because that movie came out in the nineties. The technology 551 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: was still so new they basically developed it to make 552 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: that movie. That they also couldn't afford to put the 553 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: dinosaurs on the screen the whole time. But what that 554 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: created was some tension because when the t Rex is 555 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: on screen, it's very important, and he's not there all 556 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: the time, So when he is on screen, you pay attention, 557 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: and I think that's what I love about some you know, 558 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: monster movies. Anything to that aspect, is you can't give 559 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: everything away the entire time because they're just gonna be 560 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: coming another character on screen. It's not really going to 561 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: be a treat when they pop out, because they're just 562 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: they're kind of thrown in in this movie, so there 563 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: was no tension, there was no suspense, and that led 564 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: to it just kind of feeling like a bunch of 565 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: action thrown together and the dinosaur has just happened to 566 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: be there. Although in this movie they do look the 567 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: best they have ever looked. The c g I has 568 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: greatly advanced since the nineties. I think they definitely did 569 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: some research on more of what dinosaurs really would have 570 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: looked like. I like the you know, the scaly look 571 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: with the feathers, the talents, the the clause. I thought 572 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: the dinosaur visuals were really great, but it wasn't enough 573 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: to keep me interested in the entire time they get chased. 574 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: It's kind of just running through the exact same motions 575 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: of all the other ones. But the scenes didn't really 576 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: carry any weight. I never really found myself carrying like, 577 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: how are they going to get out of this situation. 578 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: Things that just happened, and I'd be like, Oh, that's fine, 579 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: and it's not a terrible movie. I think it's because 580 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: I had such high expectations going into it that I 581 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: don't think I enjoyed it as much as I thought 582 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: I would. But I went with my wife, who hasn't 583 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: seen all of the Jurassic Park or Jurassic World movies. 584 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: She had very low expectations going into this, and she 585 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: enjoyed it way more than she thought she was going to. 586 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: Probably liked it more than I did. So if you 587 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: go into it with low expectations, maybe you'll like it 588 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: a little bit more. But still, yes, it's not a 589 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: terrible movie. I don't think it deserves to get dragged 590 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: as much as it has been. Calling it the worst 591 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: dressing World movie of all time not gonna be wrong. 592 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: It's still fun and entertaining to see dinosaurs on the 593 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: screen attacking people, biting people's limbs off. The big action 594 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: sequences are still fun. It just doesn't have that same 595 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: charm that I was expecting from something that's supposed to 596 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: be the conclusion to this saga. I just think because 597 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: literally on the poster it says the epic conclusion to 598 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: the saga, and I was like, all right, I'm ready 599 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: to see this. I'm ready for them to kind of 600 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: bring back all those cool moments, do something very innovative. 601 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: Do it something that brings out all the imagination and 602 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,479 Speaker 1: makes these dinosaurs come to life. And I didn't get that. 603 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: So there's no epic nous to this that they are boasting. 604 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: So maybe I overhyped this one for myself and is 605 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: why I found myself a little bit bored and interested 606 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: in it. I think what they made this movie for 607 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: were the hardcore fans of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, 608 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: who were going to love all the little easter eggs 609 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: and love seeing all those characters back together again. So 610 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: I think if you're a die hard fan of the 611 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: Jurassic Park series, you'll still find some enjoyment in this 612 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: and probably like it more than I did. I wouldn't 613 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: call myself the most hardcore fan. If I had to 614 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: rank all my favorite Jurassic Park movies, I probably put 615 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: The Lost World at number one, followed by the Original 616 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: and number two, But then at number three I would 617 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: have put Jurassic World, which I felt was a really 618 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: good way to reboot the series. And I think I 619 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: just find the plot in those so much more interesting 620 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: because it's built around the actual old park and having 621 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: you know, being reaped at the park and real people 622 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: having to deal with these dinosaurs they just went to 623 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: see them, Like, that's a lot more entertaining. The visuals 624 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: that come back to me from the originals is like 625 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: in the Lost World, whenever the t Rex is loose 626 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: in California and he goes and is terrorizing the city, 627 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: and I just have that visual of the t Rex 628 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: going down the street going to a gas station in 629 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: the seventies six ball, just rolling down the street, Like 630 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: I like seeing dinosaurs in the real world, in real 631 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: life situations. And I think that's what made those movies 632 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: so great. It was because it was a little bit 633 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: more like what if dinosaurs existed in our world. We 634 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: did see that a little bit here in Dominion, and 635 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: there was no scenes like that that really stood out 636 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: to me in this movie. But I do have a 637 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: glimmer of hope here in that there's some kid out 638 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: there who this will be their favorite movie and they'll 639 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: watch this and want to go watch all the original 640 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: ones and become a fan of Jurassic Park, and maybe 641 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: thirty years down the line be directing the new reincarnated 642 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: reboot of this franchise again, and I'll be back to 643 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: watch that one. I will say, though, I think the 644 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: best part of the entire movie is Jeff gold Bloom's performance. 645 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: He is the comic relief in this and he has 646 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: some pretty good lines, and it's just so very Jeff 647 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: gold Bloom that without him I probably would have gave 648 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: it an even lower rating. But for me Jurassic World dominion, 649 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: I give it three at a five raptor clause. It 650 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: is now time for the part of the podcast where 651 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: I break down a movie trailer of a film coming 652 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: to you very soon in theaters or streaming online in 653 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: a segment called It's time to Head down to Movie, 654 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: and today we are looking at the new d C 655 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: movie called Black Adam. It starts Dwayne the Rock Johnson. 656 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: He plays an anti hero, and after getting a bigger 657 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: glimpse at not only what the Rock as a superhero 658 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: is going to look like in this, but also getting 659 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 1: to know more about the character who I am not 660 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: that familiar with, I have to say I think this 661 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: is the DC movie that I'm anticipating the most. I'll 662 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: get into all that here in a second, but here's 663 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: some of the Black Adam trailer. I was a slave 664 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: until I died. Then I was reborn to God. My 665 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: son sacrificed his life to save me. Now I kneel 666 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 1: before no one. Heroes don't kill people, well I do so. 667 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: The first thing after watching this trailer, I thought to myself, Man, 668 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: if it would have had the treatment that the Rock 669 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 1: wanted and it got an R rating, this movie would 670 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: be amazing. But it has the PG thirteen rating, so 671 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: I still think it's going to be good. It does 672 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: have a grittier feel. So what I learned now about 673 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: Black Adam the movie is about his character, who is 674 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: called test Adam. He is born into enslavement sometime it 675 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: kind of takes place in the distant past, and then 676 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: he gets killed by the people who capture him, brought 677 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: back to life by his son with this bolt of 678 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: lightning and turns into Black Adam. His son actually dies 679 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,760 Speaker 1: from the ritual. But now Black Adom has these powers 680 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: that are basically the qualities of Superman. He has a 681 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 1: super strength, he can fly, but he doesn't have the 682 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: same moral structure, as you heard in that trailer is 683 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: heroes don't kill people, but Black Adam does. So that's 684 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,439 Speaker 1: where I feel like this is gonna have a little 685 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: bit more of a grittier feel. The trailer has a 686 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: little bit of humor mixed in with that, so to me, 687 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:59,439 Speaker 1: this movie almost feels like a grittier Superman movie, which 688 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 1: I am told lead into and I think the Rock 689 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,839 Speaker 1: was made for this role. I'm surprised he hasn't been 690 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: in a title superhero role like this before. And I 691 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: think from being able to watch the entire journey of 692 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 1: the movie on his Instagram has really led to me 693 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: having such high interest in it because literally from when 694 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: he got the role, to his training for the role, 695 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: getting super ripped up for it, all the behind the 696 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,760 Speaker 1: scenes photos, it makes me a little bit more invested 697 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 1: in just seeing him and seeing all the hard work 698 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: he puts into this, because even though he's in so 699 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: many movies and it feels like we always see the 700 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 1: Rock in something, you forget how hard that guy works. 701 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: And when I see him in this suit, it's insane 702 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: looking of how bulky and strong he is and how 703 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: much of a god he looks like. And then mix 704 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: that with the black suit that's super skin tight. It 705 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: basically looks like it's painted on him, And I'm curious 706 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: to see how his acting abilities change a little bit 707 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: in the superhero role. He's a little bit or serious. 708 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: How he takes on a grid year role. If he's 709 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: going to essentially be the Rock like he is in 710 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: every other movie, or he's going to show us something different. 711 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 1: By this trailer, I don't get a big glimpse of 712 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: his acting capabilities in this and how he's going to 713 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: play the character. It's a little bit ominous, doesn't give 714 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: a whole lot about the story, but it does build 715 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: interest in the action, and it does build interest in 716 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: the character. So I am excited about that. This movie, 717 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 1: Black Adam, comes out October twenty one and is the 718 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: DC movie that I'm most excited about seeing up on 719 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: the DC slate. They also have coming out Chasm Theory 720 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: of the Gods later this year. Further down the line, 721 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna get a Batgirl movie, the New Aquaman, The Flash, 722 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: and then Blue Beetlee And before this, I think the 723 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: DC movie I was most excited about it ended up 724 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: delivering was Joker in nineteen, which I felt existed in 725 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 1: an entirely different universe that was such a darker and 726 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,839 Speaker 1: grittier world that I don't think Black Adam will go there. 727 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: I think it'll kind of stay in the world, appealing 728 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 1: to most people who want to go see a superhero 729 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 1: movie and not the depressing movie that Joker was. The 730 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: other exciting thing I do want to mention is the 731 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: Joker sequel has been confirmed. Todd Phillips posted a picture 732 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: of the front of the script. He posted a picture 733 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,320 Speaker 1: of Joaquin Phoenix reading the script. No other details about 734 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: it except that it's called Joker Fully a dou I 735 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,760 Speaker 1: think it's how you say it. I think it's French, 736 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: and that translates to an identical or similar mental disorder 737 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: affecting two or more individuals. So it sounds like it's 738 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: Joaquin Phoenix's character, Arthur Fleck dealing with multiple personalities here, 739 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 1: dealing with him as the Joker and also dealing with 740 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: him as Arthur, and maybe we see a big clash 741 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 1: between those two people, which sounds like a recipe for 742 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 1: a great movie. There's been rumors that Harley Quinn will 743 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: make an appearance in this movie, probably not the Margot 744 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: Robbie Harley Quinn. So I am curious to see how 745 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: they follow up Joker, which really wasn't going to get 746 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,400 Speaker 1: a sequel. It was supposed to be a standalone film, 747 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: but I think because it was so successful in being 748 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: the highest grossing R rated movie of all time, it's 749 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: really hard to leave that money on the table. And 750 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: if Joaquin Phoenix and Todd Phillips, the director, both believe 751 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 1: there's more story to be told, which I really want 752 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: to believe that is the reason they decided to do 753 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: another movie and not just take away from the masterpiece 754 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: that I believe that Joker was. I try not to 755 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,240 Speaker 1: use that title very often. There maybe two or three 756 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: films in the last ten years that I would consider masterpieces. 757 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: Joker would be one of them. So that's some cool 758 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: stuff coming up soon from d C. This makes edition 759 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: and that's going to do it for another week here 760 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: on the podcast. But before I hop out of here, 761 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: every single week, I gotta give my listeners shout out, 762 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: And on this episode, I'm going over to my Twitter 763 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: Tammy see tweeted listen to your latest podcast yesterday.
