1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Asmr as we start here, and that sound means it

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: is time for another episode a Movie Mike's Movie podcast.

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: I am your host Movie Mike, joined by my wife

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: and co host Kelsey.

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: How are you surviving not thriving in the wake of

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: the ice storm? The indured elbow, the injured tailbone? Y? Yeah,

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 2: we talked about that here right, Yes, I think I

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: mentioned it.

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: You're recovering now and it stept foot outside the house

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: because everything's still covered in ice. So luckily we did

11
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: not lose power.

12
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I want to say we were among the very fortunate, like.

13
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: We so much so I felt guilty.

14
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: I felt guilty too. I told a friend that who

15
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: had lost power, and she was like, don't feel guilty.

16
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 2: She's like, you can't control it. It truly was, for

17
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: those not in Nashville, a situation of circumstance in which

18
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: which way the trees fell and which trees fell, honestly.

19
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: Because trees are falling around us.

20
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: We have one in our front yard that has a

21
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: branch that's like pretty split and cracked and hasn't fallen.

22
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean there's ones in our backyard. There's

23
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: power lines down like across the street from our house.

24
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: It really was just a matter of did you have

25
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: a tree near your power line?

26
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: But we are good. Your injury is getting better every day.

27
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: It is. Yeah, I'm just I'm a shut in right now.

28
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: But we are here to do our first, best and

29
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: worst of the month. We're gonna combine December in January.

30
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: Two months that somehow felt like.

31
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: In the movie review, we'll be talking about the wrecking Cruise,

32
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: Daring Dave Bautista, and Jason Momoa on Prime and in

33
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: the trailer park I'll break down the Masters of the

34
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: Universe trailer. Because I wasn't the biggest fan of the

35
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: animated show, but my brother was. Because he was born

36
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: in the eighties. I remember the old school movie. But

37
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: I've been excited for this one except for the fact

38
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: that Jared Leto.

39
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: Is in it.

40
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: You're a Jared lettle It's just hard to be excited

41
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: about a movie that he is in right now.

42
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: But I've told the story of seeing him on a

43
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: Limes scooter downtown, right.

44
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just saw We just saw him randomly, just.

45
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: Go yeah, it wasn't even you. You were driving me.

46
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: You were dropping me off for dinner with a friend,

47
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: and I was like, was that Jared lottn't on a

48
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: Lime scooter And we looked up in sure enough thirty

49
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: seconds to Mars was in town. I was like, that

50
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: was definitely Jared Letto on a limescooter.

51
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: I would say, I'm not so much the hater of

52
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: his acting.

53
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: It just seems him in general even better.

54
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: No, just because I think it's him in any kind

55
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: of superhero property where they just need a name and

56
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: they're like, let's get Jared Lettle, like in Dallas Buyer's Club.

57
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: I love them.

58
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: You could get a lot of other mediocre white memory.

59
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: An American psycho.

60
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: He's great.

61
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: I think he's a good actor, but I think when

62
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: he gets plugged into these big franchises, he's not the

63
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: right guy. They probably asked like ten other people and

64
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: they're like, all right, let's get Jared Letto. But that

65
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna be talking about. Thank you for

68
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: Podcast Network, Movie Mikes Movie Podcast. A lot of movies

69
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: to talk about, so let's get right into the list.

70
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: What just a lot of We watched so many things

71
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: in December. So when you December first, then January, Kelsey,

72
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: what was your favorite movie the best thing you watched

73
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: in December.

74
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: This wasn't surprising to me that it was my favorite, but.

75
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: Eternity really good and kind of went under the radar.

76
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 2: I do think so. I think it's on Apple. Yeah, now,

77
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: so if you haven't watched it yet, it's either on

78
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: Apple at the time that this comes out or coming

79
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: to Apple you can.

80
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: I think you can only buy it right now. It's

81
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: twenty dollars.

82
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: I don't know if any movie is worth Yeah, twenty

83
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 2: dollars is a lot. It's like I understand twenty dollars

84
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: is a movie ticket, but you kind of get the

85
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: experience of going to the movies.

86
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will rent it for five ninety nine or

87
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: four ninety nine, but that twenty dollars mark still just

88
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: seems high if I want to, if it's still that much,

89
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: I would have rather seen it in theaters.

90
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, it was my best of the month. It

91
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: is available on Apple if you want to spend a

92
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: twenty dollars if not, it is really good, and it

93
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: is really good. I do think it's a movie you

94
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: could watch more than once. So your return on investment

95
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: maybe about a ten dollars watch or if you're multiple

96
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: people watching it, you could break that down.

97
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: If you look at it that way.

98
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: I can girl math this so many ways for you, because.

99
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: If there was a movie like this that I was

100
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: going to watch, it would be something that you did

101
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: not want to watch and we didn't have time to

102
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: go see in theaters. That is the only reason I

103
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: would even look at a twenty dollars movie. And I

104
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: don't think it justifies just one person, but I forget that.

105
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: It's like a movie night and you're scrolling through movies

106
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: and you see one of these, like four people watching.

107
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, if you have a bunch

108
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: of girlfriends, guy friends that haven't seen it, invite everyone over.

109
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: It's kind of a good like Valentine's Day movie. Have

110
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: a little Gallentine's Night. Everyone brings their own snacks. You're

111
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: already down, like you're not spending twenty dollars on popcorn. Okay,

112
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: so I just made this affordable. There you go, everyone

113
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: have everyone chip in. Anyways, fantastic movie. Elizabeth Olsen. I

114
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: love her so much. She's so good. She is so good.

115
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: Callum Turner, fantastic, Miles Teller, Davine Joy Randolph. I will

116
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: watch anything with her in it. I will watch, truly

117
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: watch anything. She could be in an infomercial and I'd

118
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: watch it. I'm obsessed with her. I think she's phenomenal.

119
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: I thought a role in The Holdovers like really cemented

120
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: her as a standout. Her role on Only Murders in

121
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: the Building, Like, she just is fantastic. She can do comedy,

122
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: she can do drama. She can do drama edy, which

123
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: was kind of what Eternity was.

124
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: Because it's about two people who die and then you

125
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: find out. Well it's in the trailer, but she had

126
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: a previous husband who died, so then in war thought

127
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: that was her the love of her life. And then

128
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: she married a new guy, and now she has to

129
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: pick one person to spend attorney.

130
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: They're all an eternity like in the pre Eternity together, So.

131
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: I did decide the husband who died way back in

132
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: the day or the husband who she spent all this

133
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: time with and has kids with, has the long life with.

134
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: It's a great it's a great plot. It's a great plot.

135
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: I love the set too, like the set design, like

136
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: the kind of like hotel that they're in, and I

137
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: figured I was gonna love it, But it's also hard

138
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: with the movie like that where you think you're gonna

139
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 2: love it and you go in like so anxious that

140
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: it's not gonna live up, but it did.

141
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: I did see that it will be for free on

142
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: Apple on February thirteen.

143
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: Okay, I was like, I know it's coming right before

144
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,000

Speaker 2: If we as we have Juveniley called it in the South,

150
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: Party's Party Supreme.

151
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: I think in December that was just my favorite theater

152
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: experience one because from our regal experience, we got the

153
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: free ping pong ball popcorn bucket.

154
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: Yes, and the guy taking the tickets gave was this

155
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: old tip. He was like, you have the app, you

156
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: should have the free popcorn bucket, but it was just

157
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: a bucket, and then he goes, it doesn't come with popcorn,

158
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: but if you tell him that you thought it did,

159
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: they'll probably hook you on. Thank you, sir.

160
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, I just want the bucket anyway, but thanks

161
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: for the tip that was just my favorite theater experience

162
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: because they got the free item. The guy next to

163
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: me also had the popcorn bucket and for a movie

164
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: over two hours, it went by so fast that I

165
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: did not want it to end. It had a lot

166
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: of action and had a great cast. And if it

167
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: weren't for it being such a stack category right now

168
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: going into Oscar season, any other year probably would have

169
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: won Best Picture. But I just think compared to one

170
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: Battle after another, compared to Sinners, I would even probably

171
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: throw cinema value in there, and Hamnet, there's just these

172
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: heavy hitters around it that it doesn't stand out as much,

173
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: although I think Timothy shallow may does stand out as much.

174
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: I just think it was so good and entertaining from

175
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: start to finish. I mean, it also made my favorite

176
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: movies of the year, so in my top ten, so

177
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: easily my favorite of December. What about your worst?

178
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: The Family Plan too? It was so bad when you

179
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: sent me the list this morning of movies we watched,

180
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: I had to like scan my brain to be like,

181
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: what was that we watched it? What was it about?

182
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: I don't remember anything about it other than that it

183
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: kind of takes place at Christmas.

184
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: Sort of not really kind of fairly more so in

185
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: the poster and in the thumbnail for it, they tried

186
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: to make a Christmas tree, and it's like, oh, a

187
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: nice little Christmas movie with Mark Wahlberg. A sequel. Maybe

188
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: I didn't watch The Family Plan one, but very loosely

189
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: based on the Holidays. That was the lowest score from

190
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: me for December. I give it a point five out

191
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: of five.

192
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: It was bad. I think it was tied with that

193
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: Netflix movie for your lowest.

194
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we'll run through these, but yeah, for my

195
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: worst of December, I am going with Five Nights at

196
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: Freddy's two. I saw it in theaters. I gave it

197
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: a one out of five, which I think is the

198
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: lowest score of last year that I've given for a

199
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: movie I actually went to go see in theaters. Normally,

200
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: if I go, yeah, normally, if I go in theaters,

201
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: the minimum you were going to get is a two,

202
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: because I'm not leaving my house for less than a two.

203
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: Five Nights at Freddy's two. I really tried to believe

204
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: in this movie because I did not like the first one.

205
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: But I feel like it's because I didn't play the game.

206
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know all the lore behind Five Nights at

207
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: Freddy's so interesting.

208
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: Kind of the reverse of the Family Plan. Because we

209
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: enjoyed the Family Plan one, you didn't like the first

210
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: movie this time and you were like, the sequel is

211
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: definitely hot to be bad.

212
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to get it this time, Like I bought

213
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: more into it. I realized it wasn't gonna be a

214
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: straight ahead horror movie. It's a little bit campy. I

215
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: was like, I want to go into this one and

216
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: really enjoy it. And I'm like, Josh Hutcherson, I'm gonna

217
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: believe in you making a good movie. And he was

218
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: bad at it. It was so bad, sad. But then

219
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: I know he's going to come back for the Hunger

220
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: Games movie, and I'm like, man, that was my worst

221
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: of December.

222
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: Should we do a run through of everything we watched

223
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: in December before we get to.

224
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: Lay An do that? First up was Eternity, which I

225
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: also loved. I gave it a four out of five.

226
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: The Family Plan two I gave a point five. Would

227
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: you give that one? Yeah, you've given stuff a zero.

228
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: I never go zero. If I finish it, it's a

229
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: point five.

230
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: The only thing that I've given a zero was Eddington,

231
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: and I stand by the zero. I'm gonna go also

232
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: a point five.

233
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: Hamnet, Oh so good, very emotional. It's one that I

234
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: just keep going back to that I want to live

235
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: in those emotions I felt while watching it.

236
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: I want to rewatch it. It was almost my best

237
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: of December.

238
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: Hamnet doesn't have a streaming date yet, but it should

239
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: be on Peacock early twenty twenty six. I feel like

240
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: before the Auscar it has to so February. Yeah, be

241
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: a lookout on Peacock to watch Hamnet. J Kelly on Netflix,

242
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: which was the movie with Adam Sandler and George which

243
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna love more because the movie

244
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: is essentially about George Clooney playing a fictionalized version of

245
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: himself where he's in his fIF but he's looking back

246
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: on his life and thinking, Man, all of my memories

247
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: or movies, I didn't spend enough time with my kids.

248
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: My relationships are all based in movies. All the things

249
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: I remember were just things I was acting out with

250
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: other people on screen. What is my life like? What

251
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: have I missed out on? And he tries to go

252
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: spend some time with his daughter on this European vacation,

253
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: and it's really just like a deep dive into his

254
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: life and about movies a little bit, but mainly about

255
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: an older guy kind of regretting some of the decisions

256
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: in his life. And I just thought it was going

257
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more of something that could

258
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: be nominated for Best Picture, which I think is what

259
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: they were kind of going for.

260
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: You get that many big names on a ticket, and if.

261
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: You get a dramatic Adam Sandler, which he was kind

262
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: of funny at times, but not like happy Gilmore funny.

263
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: He's kind of the comedic relief a little bit because

264
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: he's his manager.

265
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 2: But he wasn't full uncut gems Adam Sandler.

266
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: And he wasn't like punch drunk love Adam Sandler. He

267
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: was kind of just Adam Samer, kind of more normal

268
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler. But I still think it was worthy of

269
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: a watch, especially in that third it kind of gets

270
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: you a little bit emotional where it leans more into

271
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: the life of George Clooney and you feel like that

272
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: was a little bit personal for him. I think that

273
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: was probably the best part of the entire movie, and

274
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: some of the things where they kind of were showing

275
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: how movies are made, or you're watching the movie, but

276
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: they're also showing a movie set and you're like, oh,

277
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: that looks cool, Like that looks fake, And then they

278
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: pulled the camera back a little bit and it's just

279
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: a film set. That part was pretty cool.

280
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: You know what that reminds me of? That came up

281
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: on my TikTok the other day that I rewatched the

282
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 2: ending scene of The Hills.

283
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, watched that. I've only watched that scene. I

284
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: haven't seen that whole episode, but when they like pull

285
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: it back page it was all a reality show.

286
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: I remember watching that and being like, excuse me, So.

287
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: You didn't know leading up to that because I only

288
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: know that show primarily because of that scene.

289
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 2: No, I had no clue, not that it was like

290
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: that scripted. I mean, you have an idea about like

291
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: reality TV, like producers, but not that it was like

292
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: fully on a sound stage.

293
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would have been mine going to watch back

294
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: in the day.

295
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: It was incredible television.

296
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch that now. We watched Oh what Fun

297
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: on Prime? Oh yeah, Michelle Pfiffer, which was I feel

298
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: like the closest you can get now to a Christmas Classic.

299
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: I liked it where.

300
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: I think, by normal standards of a movie, not a

301
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: great movie, but it's very campy, very fun, doesn't take

302
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: itself seriously, has that fun Christmas family dynamic, because it's

303
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: about her basically saying, I'm not doing this anymore. My

304
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: family is not.

305
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: Because all she wants is for them to nominate her

306
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: for this like Christmas Extravaganza for One Lucky Mom from

307
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: her favorite daytime talk show, and she has sent them

308
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: the link. She's even been like, here's the last day

309
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: to vote for this, here's.

310
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: The last day.

311
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 2: All I want, here's the link. This is literally I want,

312
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 2: and no one in her family does it.

313
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, she's making Christmas happen, she's cooking, she's keeping the

314
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: family together, she's planning events, and then she just decides,

315
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: you know what, Christmas is canceled.

316
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: It was funny.

317
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: We weren't explaining a lot. It was just because really,

318
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: any new Christmas movie that comes out, the bar is low.

319
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: The bars low.

320
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: It's so low.

321
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: It's like, you gotta be really good for me to

322
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 2: want to maybe rewatch it the next year. And I

323
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: would rewatch that.

324
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: That is one that doesn't enter the category of we

325
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: rewatch it every single year. Not yet, but maybe it

326
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: gets its trial run next year, watch it again, and

327
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: then maybe it kind of works its way in there.

328
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: Because the one that always makes it that I really enjoyed.

329
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: Probably my favorite rewatch this year Office Christmas Party.

330
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: It always hits listen the like Raunchy Comedies, Office Christmas

331
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: Party and Bad Mom's Christmas. And I know you love

332
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 2: Bad Sanda.

333
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: It's Santa.

334
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not my favorite, but I'll watch Bad Santa

335
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 2: because you watch Bad Mom's Christmas with me. You know,

336
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: Bad Mom's Christmas when they steal the tree from the

337
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: foot locker from Lady foot Locker and they're running across

338
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 2: the mall, it's genius.

339
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: Next up, we watched Avatar, Fire and Ash, which was

340
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: really really long. This one felt over three hours long.

341
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: I said it when we reviewed it. I felt like

342
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: we watched the same movie twice.

343
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I gave that one still a three point

344
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: five at a five. Although if it wouldn't be for

345
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: this podcast, I would tap out of the franchise.

346
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: Now I'm going to give it a two point seven

347
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: to five. I'm just not letting invest it anymore. I

348
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: feel a long time.

349
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: It is really long, and I would say I would

350
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: enjoy it more if I were able to watch it

351
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: in chunks, but I don't think so. I think the

352
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: only way I can watch this movie is sitting in

353
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: the theater and not being able to leave or do

354
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: anything else.

355
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was it was too long.

356
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: So if I didn't do this podcast, i'd be like,

357
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm not watching these anymore. But because they are still

358
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: the biggest movie every year that they come out, I'm

359
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: kind of forced to you because I gotta figure out

360
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: what is going to happen in the next one and

361
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: then see how it kind of changes visually still really.

362
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: Good, and then it's like, if I don't go see

363
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: it with you, we don't spend Freddy I am.

364
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: Therefore, that's three hours of a weekend.

365
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: So therefore I am also forced.

366
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: I went to go watch the SpongeBob movie, which I

367
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: have to decide which I have now passed the torch

368
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: on to the new generation, which I probably should have

369
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: done like a decade and a half ago, but I

370
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: just realized that they're not for me anymore because I

371
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: love the two D SpongeBob and this one is the

372
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: three D SpongeBob, it's not the SpongeBob of my childhood.

373
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: They also make him way more dumb. And I don't

374
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: think SpongeBob is dumb. Patrick is dumb, but.

375
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: SpongeBob wasn't a sentence.

376
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: SpongeBob is still like a sensible character. He is very

377
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: self aware in the TV show even just has more

378
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: of qualities of an adult than a kid, And in

379
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: this movie he was a full on kid. So I

380
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: felt like I was like, that's not my SpongeBob. That's

381
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: somebody else's SpongeBob, who's probably SpongeBob six years old.

382
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: Talk about the staying power of a theme song. Can

383
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: sing the whole thing right now.

384
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: There are very few animated shows. I can sing the

385
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: whole theme song too. SpongeBob is probably top.

386
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: Five, and even the little flute at the end.

387
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: Then the bubbles, Yeah, I know, the whole thing. But

388
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: I gave that one a two point five out of five.

389
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: We went to go see The Housemaid.

390
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: Surprisingly liked it entertaining.

391
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: I don't say that it's a good movie. Entertain little

392
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: cheese Ball at times a little over the top dramatic.

393
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: I could have done with a different casting for a

394
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: certain role.

395
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: It's one of those movies that I think benefited from

396
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: us seeing it in theaters because other people were popping

397
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: off and commenting on things, and it very much felt

398
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: like a community.

399
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: I love Amanda Sayfrey truly.

400
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: She is the best.

401
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: See I feel like underrated and people don't understand just

402
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: how talented she is. Have you seen the clip going

403
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: around with her and Kelly Clarkson singing together one of

404
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: Kelly's songs on Kelly's talk show, Oh My God. If

405
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: you haven't seen it, go look it up. It's phenomenal

406
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: and it's like I knew she could sing, but like that,

407
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: like she covers a Kelly Clarkson song, and Kelly Clarkson

408
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: covers other people's songs better than they do it, So

409
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: for Amanda Safrey to sing a Kelly Clarkson song phenomenal.

410
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: I love her. That also gives it away that the

411
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: recast I would like to see is not being that,

412
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: and also.

413
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: Just an incredible range to think about. She was in

414
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: Me and Girls back in the day, and then can

415
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: do a movie like The Housemaid, and then can also

416
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: just flip over and do the testament of an Lee

417
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: like can do it all? We also watched Knives Out

418
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: three on Netflix, which I think was really good.

419
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: Also agreed.

420
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: We watched Train Dreams on Netflix as well, four point

421
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: five out of five for me beautiful.

422
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: I would give it the same reading.

423
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: Let's move on now to January. Your best for the

424
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: month of January.

425
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: People we meet on vacation.

426
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: Based on a book? Did you read it?

427
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: I did while back, so I don't fully remember the book.

428
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: I knew the premise of it, so I wasn't one

429
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: of those people who's like they changed so many things,

430
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what they change. Also, hardcore like book

431
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 2: to movie people MAKEE mad at this. I don't want

432
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: to watch the exact same thing that I.

433
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: Read a little different.

434
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine, it's an adaptation, like take a little

435
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: creative liberty. But if something plays out better on screen

436
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: than it does in a book, again, I think different

437
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: things work better in books than movies. Similar to how

438
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: I felt about like how the Hamnet movie was better

439
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: than the book because it's very like cerebral and like emotional,

440
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 2: and I just don't feel like the words convey it

441
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: like acting like it's fine if they're a little different.

442
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 2: I'm okay with that.

443
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: I think you are onto something there, because I think

444
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: it is a little underwhelming when you go watch a

445
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: movie based on a book and it just plays out

446
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: exactly the same way. You don't leave excited because you're like, oh,

447
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: this happened, Okay, this is gonna have it. Oh the

448
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: whole thing just happened, and then it's open and you're like, okay,

449
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: I just saw it visually.

450
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: Similar to how, like Harry Potter, the movies don't always

451
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: include all the details of the book. That's fine. I

452
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 2: still want to enjoy going back and reading the book,

453
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: and I like rewatching the movies, So if they're the

454
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: exact same thing, then every year I'm watching and reading

455
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: it like four dimes at that point. So I think

456
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 2: being a little different than the book is okay. And

457
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 2: I thought it was really good. It was a rom com, Yeah,

458
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 2: just what I wanted on a weekend about.

459
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: Two people who meet their complete opposites and then the

460
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: whole movie takes place over ten years, right, and they

461
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: get together.

462
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: Every summer and go on vacation together as platonic friends.

463
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: So I thought it was really good.

464
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, a movie I wasn't expecting to enjoy. Like I

465
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: kind of said, earlier about Christmas movies. When it comes

466
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: to Netflix, rom Comes, the bar can be really low,

467
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: but I think it's because the source material was probably

468
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: pretty good.

469
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: Emily Henry, I love her mom coms. She does a

470
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: new one every year, like four out of the five

471
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: of them already have options for books or TV series.

472
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: She's great.

473
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought the two actors had great on screen chemistry. Yes,

474
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: And by about twenty minutes into the movie, I was like,

475
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm in. I might have been more invested than you.

476
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: You were just invested because then you decided you didn't

477
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: want to fall asleep. Yeah, because we're watching it like

478
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: Saturday night.

479
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: I was like, well watch it. If I don't end

480
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: up liking it, I'll pass out. And then I was

481
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: like I look over and I.

482
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: Was like, are you enjoying it? And You're like, yeah,

483
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 2: so much so that I'm fighting to stay away.

484
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, but I watched the whole thing.

485
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: I never fell asleep. For my best of January, I'm

486
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: gonna go with no other choice, which we did talk

487
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: about in the Oscar episode. It is about a guy

488
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: who was working at a company for over twenty years

489
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: thinks he has his whole life figured out until he

490
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: gets let go from that company and he's struggling to

491
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: keep his family from losing their home, struggling to put

492
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: food on the table, and what he decides to do

493
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: is essentially go on LinkedIn and find other people who

494
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: are applying for the job that he wants and take

495
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: him out. Yes, because he thinks, Okay, if I can

496
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: eliminate the competition of people who are trying to get

497
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: the job that I'm trying to get.

498
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: That will make me the only candidate because.

499
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: They're more qualified. If I take them out of the equation,

500
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 1: then I am right up there. So he determines like

501
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: who he has to take out. I think the thing

502
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: I was most surprised by. I thought it was going

503
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: to be a little bit darker because of the subject matter.

504
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to have more of like

505
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: a horror movie feel to it.

506
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 2: It was a dark comedy. I appreciate it.

507
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: It leaned way more into the comedy where there was

508
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: some violence, but it wasn't glorified and it wasn't too

509
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: hardcore and bloody, which you do get a little bit

510
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: uncomfortable with some of those things.

511
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the worst part was like a it involves teeth.

512
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, ah, that is a little bit like that.

513
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: Was the only honestly gross part, and that wasn't even

514
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 2: necessarily gory.

515
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: But some of the scenes had more of a comedic

516
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: tone than I was expecting, where they played even some

517
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: lighthearted music that kind of contrast to what was actually happening.

518
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: So it didn't really feel like a guy going on

519
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: a murderer's rampage. It felt more like a commentary on

520
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: how your company can just kind of kick it to

521
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: the curb and you feel like an expendable employee, how.

522
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: You're just a name to accompanying like an employee number,

523
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: and when they don't have use for you anymore, there

524
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: you go. It also featured two really cute golden retrievers.

525
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love when a movie as cute dogs.

526
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: I also found that because it was in another language,

527
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: it really allowed me to focus in on all the dialogue.

528
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm glad that we saw it in theaters at of course,

529
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: with the original audio of the language, because I cannot

530
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: watch a movie where they translated to English.

531
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: Like dubbed over.

532
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: It loses all emotion. I feel disconnected from it. The

533
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: only time I feel differently about that is if it's

534
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: an animated movie, because when they do an animated movie

535
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: from another country, the US version, oftentimes they'll get real

536
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: American actors of the quality who actually take it as

537
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: a movie role and learn their characters and deliver it

538
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: in a way that matches the emotion, so it's not

539
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: just somebody just kind of overdubbing something. They'll get like

540
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: Christian Bale to actually be a part of the American

541
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: voice cast. Yes, But in any other situation, if I'm

542
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: watching a movie like this, I want to watch it

543
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: in the language the way it was intended to be seen,

544
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: because I think the emotion comes out and even though

545
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't understand the language, when I hear it spoken

546
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: in the way that the actor on screen is doing it,

547
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: I feel it. And sometimes you just have to feel

548
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: that emotion through the words, even though you don't know

549
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: what the words mean.

550
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: Also, subtitles keep me engaged. Yeah, doesn't have any reading.

551
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean even now with things we watch in English

552
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: sometimes anything in the UK, sometimes you still need the subtitles.

553
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: Were ever watching a show right now for the UK.

554
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: It's a different dialect a little bit, and you're like,

555
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: I need some subtitles here. I also know a.

556
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 2: Lot of people who are just like I'm at the

557
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 2: age where it's like subtitles on all the time. I

558
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 2: saw a TikTok for somebody who was like, I wish

559
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: audiobooks had subtitles, and then they were like, I gotta

560
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: get off the internet because somebody was like, so that's

561
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: a book. So it was like, so that that is

562
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: a book, which was then turned into audio.

563
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: It's funny when we go so far one way, we

564
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: think like, oh, we'd been something new. Now that's the

565
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: thing we made it certain right, you're worse for January

566
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: The Rip? The Rip?

567
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, how is the Rip?

568
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: It's like the best Netflix movie in a while?

569
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 2: Get it out of everything we watched in January again,

570
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: worst does it mean a bad movie? The worst for

571
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 2: years that I it was the least enjoyable to me.

572
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: I wondered if, like the bar has been set so

573
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: low that we think The Rip is a really good movie,

574
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: or if it came out.

575
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was really because I really enjoyed it,

576
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 2: and insay did enjoy it, but it wasn't like in

577
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: my best word, But I.

578
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: Think all my enjoyment came from the fact that I

579
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: think the bar for original Netflix movies has been set

580
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: so low that we accept the bare minimum that it

581
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: being a little bit more dynamic, the story actually being compelling,

582
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: the acting being pretty good. It kind of falls apart

583
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: a little bit in the third act. Has the bar

584
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: just got so low that a mid movie like this

585
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: or it would have been a mid movie any other

586
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: year outside of the Netflix era and.

587
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: With any other actors. Yeah, I think the names that

588
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: they put to it listen. I love that they struck

589
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 2: a deal, and like everyone who works from the film,

590
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: if the film does well, because I do think it

591
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 2: was worth a watch. Yeah, it just was my least

592
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 2: favorite of the month. I also didn't watch as many

593
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: movies as you this month, so I'm going off of

594
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: just the movies I watched. The other things I watched

595
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 2: were stronger.

596
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: I will say that did motivate me a little bit

597
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: more to watch it. The fact that they struck this deal,

598
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: which is a new thing, because the thing about streaming

599
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: movies is what they normally do is just give you

600
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: a big chunk of money and there's no money to

601
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: be made on the back end, which is where a

602
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: lot of people got rich from movies where it's like, Okay,

603
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: if it does well in theaters, you had these incentives.

604
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: You don't really have that in streaming anymore. And then

605
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: working out this deal is monumental because it hasn't happened

606
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: before and really only two actors with their name could

607
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: make that possible. So I think that did motivate me

608
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more to watch it, knowing that Netflix

609
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: is so much more focused on I think they had

610
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: to watch at least five minutes of it to kind

611
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: of kick in. So it's more about completion rate to

612
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: Netflix than if you enjoyed it or not, which also

613
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: makes me feel weird about movies in the streaming era.

614
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: Is it just content? Is it just like how many

615
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: people click on it and watch for a certain amount

616
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: of time.

617
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: Well, the fact that they've even said like you kind

618
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: of have to like repeat and have a hook in

619
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: the ring because people are multitasking.

620
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: And you notice that more and more, and not just

621
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: Netflix movies but shows. You get one big boom at

622
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: the beginning, like boom, dead body, boom, here's why you

623
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: should watch this movie blood and guts up at the beginning,

624
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: Or if it's something romantic, here's a bear butt, something

625
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: that entice you in, and it just feels weird because

626
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: it kind of feels like a TikTok, like you got

627
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: to get that hook in the first five seconds to

628
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: keep somebody from swiping up. Yeah, it's kind of weird

629
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: when that's applied to things that are more long form,

630
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: and movies are about sitting and enjoying something and building

631
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: up to something when you start putting in all these

632
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: little tricks and tips to get people just to watch

633
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: more rather than creating the movie you intended to create,

634
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: which again, it's a business at the end of the day,

635
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: but it just feels weird to me that probably movies

636
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: that came out in the nineties or early two thousands

637
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't have a chance in the streaming era because people

638
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: have short attention spans.

639
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do, myself included.

640
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: But for my worst of the month, it's the movie

641
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: I reviewed last week, Mercy with Chris Bratt, who I

642
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: think that could enter maybe my top ten worst movies

643
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: of the decade in the twenty twenties, and ef it's

644
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: the bad ones.

645
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 2: Movies are subjective too. Somebody commented on your TikTok that

646
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: they loved h kept them on the edge of their seat,

647
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know, there's a movie for everyone.

648
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: It kept me in my seat from not leaving the theater,

649
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: but not the edge of my seat. I really had

650
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: to sink into it to not do the SpongeBob meme

651
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: like all right, I'm about a head out. All right,

652
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm head out. But I could see if you really

653
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 1: love Chris Pratt or you just really love this genre,

654
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: because there's something about the plot itself that is enticing.

655
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: But I just think overall it was just really slapped

656
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: together and it just had nothing to say that hasn't

657
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: been said a hundred times in a movie like this.

658
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: For the other things I watched in January, we Buried

659
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: the Dead with Daisy Ridley. It is a zombie movie,

660
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: but not like a zombie movie that you would expect,

661
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: because it has a little bit more emotional depth. It's

662
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: about her essentially trying to go find her husband after

663
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: a zombie outbreak, and it's not just her running from zombies.

664
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: The zombies are kind of secondary. It's more about her

665
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: and a relationship with their husband. I also watched Primate

666
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: in theaters, absolutely the Killer Monkey movie. I gave a

667
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: three out of five people we met On Vacation. I

668
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: gave a four out of five. The Rip I gave

669
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: a four out of five. Twenty eight years later, The

670
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: Bone Temple was probably my runner up. I gave a

671
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: four point five out of five. And I think that's

672
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: all the movies for January. Kind of a slow month

673
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: because not a whole lot comes out. You also don't

674
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: want to come out when there could be but actually

675
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: crazy weather that keeps people from going to the movies.

676
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: Which what was Mercy?

677
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: What happened?

678
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: I think it made like ten million dollars opening weekend.

679
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: I don't know that that many people would have gone.

680
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: To see him. Yeah, it wasn't a lot of hype

681
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: in that. All Right, we have gone a little long here,

682
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: but we can do our TV show.

683
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 2: I can do book.

684
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: Okay, well I had to go quickly, so rude.

685
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: Okay, fine. I have two fiction and a non fiction.

686
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 2: The fiction would be the sequel to the Last Thing

687
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: He told Me, which was made into the Apple TV

688
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 2: show with Jennifer Gardner. Oh yeah, the sequel just came

689
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: out and it's called The First Time I Saw Him.

690
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 2: And I wasn't expecting to enjoy a sequel that much,

691
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: but I loved it. I couldn't put it down, and

692
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: I'm curious. It looks like the second season, which comes

693
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 2: out in February, is going to kind of follow the

694
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 2: sequel but maybe differ a little, so I'm excited to

695
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: see what they do there. And then nonfiction, my book

696
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: club read The Carpool Detectives, which is about a group

697
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: of moms in California that during COVID kind of had

698
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: like an existential crisis of like what am I doing

699
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: with my life? And they team up and they literally

700
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: saw the cold case in California. Those are my books.

701
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: I didn't read any books. I'm still working on the

702
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: Hail Mary project.

703
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: It's Project Till Mary, Project.

704
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: Till Mary, same thing. It's close enough, okay, but I'm

705
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: getting there. You are my TV show. We did watch

706
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: His and Hers on Netflix, which that show was frustrating

707
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: to me. Why all the characters were doing things that

708
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: I thought nobody would do in real life. I know

709
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: it's based on a book, right, correct. It just felt

710
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: like it was perfectly written, but when you see it

711
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: play out in a show, it didn't make sense to me.

712
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: A lot of plot holes, yeah, a little bit over

713
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: the top, too, over the top, but still one of

714
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: those shows you watch and you think, man, I got

715
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: to figure out how this ends.

716
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: My TV show is going to be heated ATVY. I

717
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: was a little late to the game, and I waited

718
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: until January to watch it, just because I had so

719
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: many other shows I was finishing, and I wanted to

720
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: give it the full attention it deserved, and it did

721
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: indeed deserve my full attention.

722
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: Is it getting a season two?

723
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: Yes it is.

724
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: It's the only show I've heard about recently that people

725
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: have rewatched oh this season more than once.

726
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: Ever, every one has rewatched it, like three to four

727
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 2: times that I know of.

728
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: I can't think of a show in the last even

729
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: ten years that I've rewatched. That's the weird part about

730
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: TV shows. We don't really rewatch them anymore. I still

731
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: rewatch er, but a show that comes out now, like

732
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: because I feel like so many more shows right now

733
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: are mini series like His and Hers that we just

734
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: talked about. Who's gonna if they love that show? Who

735
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: would go back and rewatch that?

736
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: I don't feel like that's a genre that's like really

737
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: rewatchable though, because you already know the twists. Heated Rivalry

738
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 2: is more of a roman to be a drama. I

739
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: feel like that's more. You're not waiting for something to

740
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: like the twist to click, or like the plot holes

741
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: to be fixed with the plot to thick end, like

742
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 2: you're just kind of watching a story.

743
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: I guess the only show that I still want to

744
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: rewatch is Stranger Things that's been from the last ten years. Yes,

745
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: which you said you would still watch it with me. Yeah, okay,

746
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: we had a lot of things to watch, but that

747
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: is our best and worst of the month. I'll come

748
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: back and give my spoiler free review of The Wrecking Crew.

749
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: Let's get into it now. A spoiler free movie review

750
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: of The Wrecking Crew, starring Dave Bautista Jason Momoa, directed

751
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: by one of my favorite directors, I'm hen Manuel Soto,

752
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: who also directed Blue Beetle, which I believe is such

753
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: an underrated superhero movie. And I know I'm saying that

754
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: with a Mexican bias, because that movie I felt was

755
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: made for somebody just like me, one of those movies

756
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: I go back and watch once a year and it

757
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: really connects with me. And I believe I'm Hill has

758
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 1: a way of making an action movie that does exactly that.

759
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: Connects with the audience where when it comes to the

760
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: Wrecking Crew, if any other director did this, it would

761
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: just be another run of the mill Amazon Prime movie

762
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: that gets thrown up on there, we watch it and

763
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: then forget about it in a week or so. But

764
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: there was just something from the very beginning when I

765
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: hit play on this movie that it felt different, and

766
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: I knew it was made with a director who had

767
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: a vision, who knew this movie had to be more

768
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: than just two really big, muscly guys running around blowing

769
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: things up and fighting bad guys. So what this movie

770
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: is about. Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa play brothers, but

771
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: they're strange. But their dad dies and there are some

772
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: suspicious details to his death. The authority say it was

773
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: a hidden run, but if you look at the details,

774
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: it's not quite adding up. So Dave Batista is now

775
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: working in the military. At the very beginning of the movie,

776
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: he is in this training where he is underwater, just

777
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: sitting there for a very long time without breathing, and

778
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: all these other guys he is training are down there

779
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: with some kettlebells holding their breath, and that crazy visual

780
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: of seeing Dave Bautista who is so ripped up. I

781
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: don't even think he is human. He's not even just

782
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: a big guy with muscles. To me, he is just

783
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: like a chunk of brisket. And I think the hardest

784
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: thing in this movie is believing that he is a

785
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: real person, believing that Jason Momoa is a real person,

786
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: because they look so unlike any other human that they

787
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: stand out so much that the two of them were

788
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: destined for starlife. Dave Batista obviously coming from a wrestling background,

789
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: and Jason Momoa, where I first saw him in Game

790
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: of Thrones, went on to be Aquaman. They are both

791
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: from Hawaii, even though the movie was filmed in New

792
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: Zealand looked amazing by the way. Jason Momoa is living

793
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma working in law enforcement, but because of the

794
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: death of his dad, he comes to Hawaii for the

795
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: very first time in a long time after well, a

796
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: lot of crap happened in his childhood, and we learn

797
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: all about that. So the stage is set, and then

798
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: you see all these bad people after the both of them,

799
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: the Yakuza, like it was in the trailer, show up

800
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: to Jason Momoa's house and he takes him down in

801
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: nothing but a towel, which I think was such a

802
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: great action sequence, even though I kind of already knew

803
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: what was going to happen because of watching the trailer.

804
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: But the full fight had some really great choreography, people

805
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: getting sliced in ways that I had not seen before.

806
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: But I think the thing that really stood out that

807
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: made it feel like a unique action sequence was the

808
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: fact that Jason Momo did the entire thing in a towel,

809
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: made some jokes with his wiener which are at continuation

810
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: throughout the entire film. But I think out of everything

811
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: that really gives this movie a unique profile is the

812
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: setting of Hawaii and all the people in the cast.

813
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: That just gives this movie an entirely different flavor. It

814
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: gives it some authenticity, It makes it feel unique, It

815
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: makes it stand out, much like when I watch Blue Beetle,

816
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: where that cast in a superhero movie to me, has

817
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: never been done before so automatically sets itself apart in

818
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: the genre. I got the same thing here. I felt

819
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: like it was there in Hawaii, even though they filmed

820
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 1: it in New Zealand, because of all the pieces around

821
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: Jason Momoa and Dave Batista and them just sticking out

822
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 1: so much on screen where I felt this movie would

823
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: have done and played really well in theaters up until

824
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: about the third act, where some of the action sequences

825
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: get a little bit bigger, you get more explosions, you

826
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: get more gunfights. I feel like it wasn't until the

827
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: third act where I started to see, okay, this is

828
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: where maybe the budget was restricted a little bit. It

829
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: didn't have that big summer blockbuster feel to it that

830
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: most movies like this would have. So all up until

831
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: that point, I thought, why was this movie not out

832
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: in theaters? Because you had two great characters where Deve

833
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 1: Batista is very serious, he talks in a very low tone,

834
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: almost monotone. Jason Momoa cracks a bunch of jokes, saying

835
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: I don't understand what you were saying. They are complete

836
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: opposites in this where Jason Momoa is drinking all the time,

837
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: making jokes, causing a ruckus, breaking things being the comedic relief.

838
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: It's like the odd couple on screen. So that entire

839
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: dynamic worked really well together. And above all, this movie

840
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: was a story about two brothers learning to be around

841
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: each other again, showing that they still love each other

842
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: even though they are half siblings and haven't spoken to

843
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: each other in a very long time. That is what

844
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: the root of all the emotions were in this movie,

845
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: a story about two brothers learning to come together and

846
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: figure out who killed their father. The only thing I

847
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: didn't like about the backstory that they created is very

848
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: early on they just start telling you all these details

849
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: for no reason, saying people's names, where they live. It

850
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: just felt a little bit like they were over explaining

851
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: it in the beginning to really set the stage, which

852
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: I think it didn't need to do that, because it

853
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: did a pretty good job at showing you everything once

854
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: we all got going. But I feel like this is

855
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: almost a streaming movie device that everybody uses now we've

856
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: been talking about on this episode, where you have to

857
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: call out things. You have to be so deliberate now

858
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: in all the details, where I feel like that loses

859
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of the art of filmmaking, where you

860
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: know somebody is watching this movie on their phone, on

861
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: their tablet, or not paying full attention to it, that

862
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: you have to state details like that so much in

863
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: the beginning because you look up and you're lost. That

864
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: part of it. I did not enjoy. If this movie

865
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: would have been made not in the streaming era, probably

866
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't have happened, But that really stoock out to me

867
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: in the beginning, where they kept going on and on

868
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: about all these details to make sure you really knew

869
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: what was going on. It just felt like they were

870
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: over explaining things. But aside from that, I don't feel

871
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 1: like the movie sacrificed too much to cater more towards

872
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: a streaming audience than an in theater experience audience. I

873
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: think the only thing this movie really lacked were a

874
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: couple of more plot points where I was so invested

875
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: about thirty forty minutes in and I was waiting for

876
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: obstacle after obstacle, new details unraveled that would really keep

877
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: this story moving along. Because it is a crime thriller,

878
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: or at least it tries to be, and you don't

879
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: really learn a whole lot of new details. You have

880
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: a little bit of information that you learned early on,

881
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: and all these trails that they try to follow and

882
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: these clues, and it takes so long to get there,

883
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: to the point that by the time it does get

884
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 1: to that final battle, it feels like you haven't taken

885
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: that much of a journey with these characters, and that

886
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: was the only thing I really felt that it lacked

887
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: was a little bit more development as far as creating

888
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: more action, more momentum, to really move this story along,

889
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: to really feel that by the time we got to

890
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: that final battle, the stakes were really high, and that

891
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: final battle was pretty good. They had some extra fighting

892
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 1: sequences in there that I thought. The cinematography really stepped

893
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: itself up, but it just lacked a little bit of

894
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 1: impact because of that failure to develop all of these characters.

895
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: And also I just had an issue with the villain.

896
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: It just felt a little bit too generic bad guy.

897
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: I've seen this villain before in so many action movies.

898
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: I haven't seen these two leads. These two characters felt

899
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: very unique. Dave Batista and Jason Momoa playing brothers is

900
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: one of the best casting decisions in the streaming era,

901
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: but when it came to the villain and the wrecking crew,

902
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: it just didn't work for me. It felt so generic

903
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: and lackluster. Where you have these two brothers who have

904
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: gone through so much and they're trying to figure out

905
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: what happened to their dad. You have this big connection

906
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: between their families and the island and the people of Hawaii,

907
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: and then you have this very generic villain that feels

908
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: like he was pulled right out of the eighties, which

909
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: is maybe what this was trying to be an O

910
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: two at times, but everything else felt so new and modern.

911
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 1: The villain just didn't work for me. The other things

912
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: that stick out to me was the girl who played

913
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: Lilo and Lilo and Stitch was also featured in this movie.

914
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: The other kid in the family had some of the

915
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 1: best punk rock t shirts I've ever seen in a movie.

916
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: He had a Bad Brain shirt, he had an Operation

917
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: IVY shirt. I'm like, who is giving this kid this

918
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: amazing music? I would have killed for those shirts at

919
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: his age. That was another cool little detail that I loved.

920
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: You had a lot of classic rock in the opening

921
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: of this movie to really give you that aesthetic of

922
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 1: who Jason Momoa's character was of just wanting to party

923
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: where jackets and ride motorcycles and go to bars and

924
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: get in fights. And I love the setting so much

925
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: that The Wrecking Crew has now made my top five

926
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: movies that take place in Hawaii, because at number five

927
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: I have The Wrecking Crew. At number four, I have

928
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: Forgetting Sarah Marshall at number three. I have Fifty First

929
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 1: Dates at number two, one of my favorite childhood movies

930
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: of all time, back in the golden era of Disney

931
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: Channel movies. Give Me Johnny Tsunami at number two, which

932
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: is also where I learned a lot of Hawaiian phrases

933
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: that when I was watching The Wrecking Crew, I was like,

934
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: that's what Johnny Tsunami's grandpa said. Johnny Tsunami was such

935
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,959
Speaker 1: a core movie of my childhood that at the time

936
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that was representing a culture that at

937
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: that time wasn't really well represented in film. That it

938
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: took more than twenty years after that movie to get

939
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: another centerpiece like The Wrecking Crew. So at number two,

940
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: I have Johnny Tsunami and at number one, I have

941
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: Lelo and Stitch, the best movie set in Hawaii. Give

942
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: me the animated, give Me the live action. That movie

943
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: made me want to go to Hawaii that when I

944
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: did go for the first time, I felt like I

945
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: was right there inside the movie. I actually stayed at

946
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: a Disney resort and they had a Stitch You, and

947
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: they had a stitch you well that kind of works.

948
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: A stitch statue. It's a stitch you they had a

949
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: statue of Stitch that I still go back on my

950
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: phone and find that old picture I took with it.

951
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: But hands down the number one movie that takes place

952
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: in Hawaii, Lelo and Stitch. So now The Wrecking Crew

953
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: is in my top five. And I think when it

954
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: comes to an action movie like this, the max score

955
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: I could give it that I think it could earn

956
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: if it was just the best. At the best is

957
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 1: a four out of five. This movie gets pretty close

958
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: to that. I just wanted some more clues. The ending

959
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: just fell a little bit flat for me. So for

960
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: The Wrecking Crew, I give it three point five out

961
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: of five. Film drives inside to head down to movie

962
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: Mike Trailer Park. I have the power. I am trying

963
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: to limit my excitement for Masters of the Universe because

964
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: as much as I want to fully buy into it,

965
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a great movie. They're

966
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: finally gonna get it right. There are so many things

967
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: that are red flax to me. One Jared Leto and

968
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: he is not in this movie as himself. He did

969
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: the motion capture and the voice acting per Skeletor, who

970
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: is just a fantastic villain. But the thing about Skeletor

971
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: is I love the version in the animated show from

972
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 1: back in the eighties, who is sassy who has giving

973
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: people the business cutting people down with these insults. That

974
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: is the Skeletor. I love this Skeletor. I can't remember

975
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 1: when I had him all pleasant day like that meme

976
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: is hilarious to me. Or him just rattling off insult

977
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: after insult. He's got sauce on s boob. The only

978
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 1: time I've ever heard of animated villain refer to someone

979
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: as a boob. And it gets better. Ramlish idiots, you

980
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 1: couldn't even beat a monthly group of notes. Get over, hey,

981
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: you f f But there's no way to take that

982
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: energy and put it into this movie. It feels completely

983
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: different than the animated show, feels completely different than the

984
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: movie from the eighties with Dolph Lundgren as he Man

985
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: that came out back in nineteen eighty seven. In this movie,

986
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: it's about he man on Earth named Adam Glenn later

987
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: to be known as Prince Adam and he Man. He

988
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: is living just a normal life working a desk job

989
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: in corporate America until somebody finds his sword and he

990
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: gets to go back home. Because he is obsessed with

991
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: all of these things that people are telling him are

992
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: just in stories with talking tigers, castles and spaceships, and

993
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: he knows someday I'm going to go back home to

994
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: where I belong. And then he gets to go back

995
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: home because it's under Earth is going to be under

996
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: attack and he has to be the hero. So I

997
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: don't know how I feel about that version of this

998
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: story of putting him on Earth with normal people. It

999
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: really feels like Minecraft to me. So to me, that

1000
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 1: feels like it's going to have a little bit more

1001
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: of This is a movie safe for everybody. When I

1002
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: think a Masters of the Universe movie could be so

1003
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 1: much more hardcore, skeletor deserves to be so much more hardcore.

1004
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 1: But before I get into more, Masters of the Universe

1005
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: is coming out on June fifth, let's take a look

1006
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: at the trailer.

1007
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 2: Why did you send me away? I wanted you to

1008
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 2: be saying, so I sent you to a place in

1009
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 2: that they never find you are. Yes, this obsession with

1010
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 2: nerd stuff and sort things, it's not a good look

1011
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 2: for human resources. I know it sounds crazy, but that

1012
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 2: sort has kind of showed me the way out in

1013
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 2: the fu.

1014
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: Sounds pretty good. He looks really good as he Man.

1015
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 1: Nicholas Gallatzign plays Adam Glenn slash Prince Adam slash he Man.

1016
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: I know him primarily from the Amazon movie The Idea

1017
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: of You, where he played alongside Anne Hathaway. He was

1018
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: a pop star who was much younger than her. They

1019
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: meet at Coachella, they start hanging out together. But when

1020
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: it comes to his filmography, that is the movie I

1021
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,760
Speaker 1: know him for the most, but he looks completely different.

1022
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 1: He was eating four thousand calories a day, hitting the gym,

1023
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: heavyweight lifting all those things to put on an incredible

1024
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: amount of poundage, gained to be he Man, and he

1025
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: looks fantastic. And to me, he looks only second next

1026
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: to Skeletor. I really believe that they spent the entire

1027
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: budget making sure they got Skeletor and his look downright.

1028
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: Where once you see his face it is the right texture.

1029
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: Because in the original movie from the eighties, it looks

1030
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 1: like paper machine. It looks really fake, and that takes

1031
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: you out of it a lot. But here you have

1032
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: that same concept of design when it comes to his

1033
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: face and his wardrobe. But it looks good, really good,

1034
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: and I just don't know if the performance from Jared

1035
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 1: Leto is going to match that because you don't get

1036
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: any of his dialogue in this. You see his face,

1037
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: you see a little bit of him fighting he man

1038
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 1: at the end, but they have not given us any

1039
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: glimpse as to how he is going to approach his voice.

1040
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: So is he going to be like this at all?

1041
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: I can't remember when I've had him all pleasant day.

1042
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: Probably not, because that does not fit the vibe of

1043
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: this movie, even though it does feel a little bit

1044
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: just like Minecraft, which we just watched, a video game

1045
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: adaptation that felt very big, larger than life, bold, colorful

1046
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: characters which you have Battlecat. The green Cat really just

1047
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: stands out in this trailer. All of the supporting cast

1048
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: in The Masters of the Universe are very unique designs

1049
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: that really pop off the screen. So it just kind

1050
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: of has that same feeling that I don't think it's

1051
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna have that emotional depth, that level of intensity that

1052
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: I would want and be excited for in a Master's

1053
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 1: of the Universe movie, So I am kind of just

1054
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: limiting my excitement going into it, thinking it is going

1055
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: to be a fun popcorn movie this summer it's gonna

1056
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: have that big screen action, and I still think it's

1057
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 1: going to be better than the original. There's no way

1058
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: it can be worse because I think Jared Letto is

1059
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: not the star of it. If he was, he man

1060
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 1: no way. I wouldn't buy into this at all. And

1061
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: I want to enjoy this movie. The character designs look good.

1062
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: Idris Elbow looks good. I was surprised to see him

1063
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: in a movie of this caliber where he is just

1064
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 1: crushing it right now. He can do anything he wants.

1065
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 1: He's hijacking planes, he's hijacking anything over on Apple Plus.

1066
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: And to see him take a role like this leads

1067
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,240
Speaker 1: me to believe that the script has to be good.

1068
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: I can't imagine he would just take a paycheck right

1069
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: now where I feel his career is at such a

1070
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: high point that he's not going to do a movie

1071
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: just for the money. At least I am telling myself that.

1072
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: And I do believe though, that they spent a lot

1073
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: of money on getting Skeletor right, so much so that

1074
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: I feel the set design and the world they are

1075
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: creating here doesn't look as good. Castle Grayskull looks pretty good,

1076
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: especially in the scene where they cut to and it's

1077
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: covered in blood. But outside of that, all of the

1078
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: buildings and some of the extra characters that you can

1079
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: tell they just kind of replicated in the background looks

1080
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: a little bit too flimsy. It doesn't feel concrete. They

1081
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 1: think we'll just fill in the background. Who is going

1082
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: to care? You know, who is going to care? I

1083
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,439
Speaker 1: am going to care because that takes me so much

1084
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: out of the experience of going to see a movie

1085
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: in the summer in theaters. I want to be fully immersed.

1086
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: I don't want this weird trick that they do with

1087
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: blurring all of the perimeter of the screen to get

1088
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 1: you to focus on just the character in the foreground.

1089
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 1: That is cheap to me, and I see that here

1090
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 1: in this trailer. Hopefully maybe they're finishing up some things

1091
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: on the special effects department, but I don't want to

1092
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: see that. I want to be immersed in this world.

1093
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: I want to feel like I am walking up to

1094
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 1: Castle Grayskull myself. Aside from that, everything else looks pretty good.

1095
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: I would rate the CGI in this maybe a B

1096
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: plus upon my first impressions of it. In this two

1097
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: minute trailer just looks a little flimsy to me, and

1098
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't want it to remind me anything of the

1099
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: original movie. Also in this cast, alongside Jared Leto Idris Elba,

1100
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: you also have Alison Bree as Evil Lynn. I think

1101
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: she is the most underappreciated character. In this trailer, you

1102
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 1: really only get one quick frame of her, and that

1103
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 1: is what worries me about this movie. What is the

1104
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: final product going to be? Can you hype it up?

1105
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: With all these actors involved in it, With this very

1106
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: slick trailer really giving us a great snapshot of what

1107
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 1: we're going to get out of it without revealing too much.

1108
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: We get that final frame of he Man yelling out

1109
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: I have the power and he's totally ripped. You have

1110
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: the sword. All those things are there. But what is

1111
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: going to set this movie apart from every other eighties adaptation?

1112
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 1: Because the twenty twenties have been so focused on reviving

1113
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: things from the eighties, from Beatle Jews, from The Running Man,

1114
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: remakes and sequels and prequels, all the things from the

1115
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,439
Speaker 1: eighties are being made right now at an alarming rate.

1116
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: What is going to set this movie apart? I still

1117
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. By the look of this trailer.

1118
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: But hopefully by the time this movie comes out on

1119
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,720
Speaker 1: June fifth, we will know. And if this movie comes

1120
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: out and I rate it at least a three point

1121
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: five out of five, that is a major win. Anything

1122
00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: below that waste of time, a waste of bringing back

1123
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: this franchise, a waste of what could have been three

1124
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: point five or more. We're good. I'm happy. That's all

1125
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: I need. Anything below that, it's gonna feel like a

1126
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: failure to me. So again, Masters of the Universe comes

1127
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: out in theaters this summer on June fifth.

1128
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 2: And that was this week's edition of Movie Mike Trailer.

1129
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: Bars, and that is gonna do it for another episode

1130
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,439
Speaker 1: here of the podcast. But before I go, I gotta

1131
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 1: give my listeners shout out of the week this week.

1132
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm going over to my YouTube channel, which is YouTube

1133
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: dot com slash Mike dshro If you want to go

1134
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: watch individual movie reviews. Maybe a movie came out in

1135
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: theaters a couple months ago that I reviewed and it

1136
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: just came out on streaming, and you want to go

1137
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: back and find my review and my thoughts on that,

1138
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: you can find those really easily on my YouTube page,

1139
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: or you can always find the link down in the

1140
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: episode notes. This week, I'm going over to the comments

1141
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: on my twenty eight years later the Bone Temple bit

1142
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: video and shouting out John D who said best in

1143
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 1: the series question mark. Nah, I would rank them in

1144
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: the order that they came out. First of all, John,

1145
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 1: thank you for watching on YouTube. Thanks for the comment.

1146
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: I could see that, John, if you are somebody who

1147
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: loved the original format that was created in twenty eight

1148
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: days later, where twenty eight weeks later the sequel to

1149
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: that feels very much like a continuation and the same

1150
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 1: format of that movie, where twenty eight years later, the

1151
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: movie that came out last summer could almost be not

1152
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: even in this franchise just because it has the name.

1153
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: It doesn't have that much connection to what happened in

1154
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 1: those first two movies aside from the rage virus and

1155
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: the origins of it. But as far as the characters

1156
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: and where the world is, you could actually change the

1157
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: name of this and it would still work. It doesn't

1158
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: really need the connection to those two. So while one

1159
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: and two very much feel like they have the same formula,

1160
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 1: have the same DNA, I feel like twenty eight years

1161
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 1: later and the Bone Temple feel like a real refresh.

1162
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: They also have two entirely different directors, so even between

1163
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: these last two movies can also feel completely different from

1164
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: the movie that preceded it. So John, if you were

1165
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: somebody who fell in love with twenty eight days Later

1166
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 1: and wanted more of that, I think that is why

1167
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 1: you would rank them that way, because one and two

1168
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: match so well, and then three and four feel very

1169
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: much different. But for me, I'm going the Original, then

1170
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: The Bone Temple, and then twenty eight years later they

1171
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: came out last year, and then I'm going twenty eight

1172
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: weeks later. So again, sometimes even just explaining these is

1173
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: a little bit tough because they just don't really match up.

1174
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: Kind of like the Fast and the Purious movies. They

1175
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: go Fast and the Furious, two Past two, Furious Tokyo,

1176
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 1: Drift Fast seven Furious. You know, they all just kind

1177
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: of go all over the place. But appreciate you for

1178
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: watching and commenting. Thank you right now wherever you're listening,

1179
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,720
Speaker 1: and until next time, go out and watch good movies

1180
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: and I will talk to you.

1181
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah,
