1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's movie podcast. I

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. Today it is the three

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: hundredth episode Spectacular. Can you believe it? Three hundred episodes

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: of this crap? You think that would be better at

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: this boy, But I'm not to celebrate. I want to

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: count down my three hundred favorite movies, starting at number

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: three hundred with Max Keeble's Big Move. Just kidding, I'm

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: not doing that. We'd be here, I don't know over

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: three hundred hours. But I do want to talk about

10
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: the ten actors who were reportedly hated by their entire

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: cast what they did. In the movie review, we'll be

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: talking about Springsteen Delivered Me from Nowhere, how well did

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: Jeremy Allen do portraying the Boss? And did this movie

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: make me a Bruce Springsteen lover because going into it,

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: I would call myself a below average fan of his music.

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: And in the trailer Park, we'll talk about a new

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: dramaedy that could honestly be one of my favorite dramas

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: of the year, starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler. It's

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: called Jay Kelly, and it is a story about an

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: actor who is going through a bit of an identity crisis.

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: But again, thank you for listening to this podcast, for

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: continuing to come back every single Monday, especially those who

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: have been here since the very beginning episode one now

24
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: at episode three hundred. Even if you've just joined this

25
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: year and just gotten into becoming a part of the

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: movie crew, thank you as well. It means the world

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: to me if you spend a part of your week

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast, So thank you very much. And

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: to celebrate, let's get into another episode. Let's talk movies

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: from the Nashville Podcast Network, and this is Movie Mike

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: Movie Podcast. I have a list of ten actors who

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: are totally hated by their entire cast. And what I

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: want to know by diving into each of these is

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: where each of these actors just jerks or in some cases,

35
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: were they just trying to make the best movie and

36
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: they showed up on set wanting to make art and

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: didn't care about making friends. Because I think sometimes there

38
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: can be a difference. Some people can just be difficult

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: to work with, especially depending on what phase of their

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: career that you get them in. Are they on the rise,

41
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: did they just have a big hit and now kind

42
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: of have an inflated ego or are they on the

43
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: way down. Maybe at one point they were the biggest

44
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: thing in Hollywood, but now we're just kind of scraping

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: by trying to get roles to pay the bills or

46
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: to continue to be able to live a certain lifestyle.

47
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: That could be a factor of somebody being a nightmare

48
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 1: to work with, or in some cases, do certain actors

49
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: just go to an extreme when it comes to taking

50
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: on some roles that maybe require some method acting And

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: were they so into their work that they were insufferable

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: to be around? So let's get right into this list.

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: At number ten is Bill Murray on the set of

54
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: Charlie's Angels back in the year two thousand. He was

55
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: reportedly so antagonistic that Lucy Lou and him reportedly threw

56
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: some punches. This is now a famous story, but he

57
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: was so bad on the set of Charlie's Angels that

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: he was replaced by Bernie Mack for the sequel, and

59
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: nobody was sad about it. So Bill Murray is a

60
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: guy who has very dry, sarcastic humor, and sometimes that

61
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: doesn't land well with everybody, And Lucy Lou was one

62
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: of those people that his style of comedy did not

63
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: land well with Bill Murray is also historically late to set.

64
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: You don't really know when Bill is going to be there.

65
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: Bill gets there when Bill wants to get there, and

66
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: then once he is there, he's like, all right, let's

67
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: knock this thing out. I Am not going to be

68
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: the easiest to work with. But reports say that he

69
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: criticized her acting mid scene. Could you imagine that as

70
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: an actor? I bet it's one thing for somebody like

71
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: Lucy Lou to get, you know, a note from a director,

72
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: not in the middle of it, maybe after a scene,

73
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: but to be here working with one of your peers,

74
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: and even though that person is somebody as famous as

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: Bill Murray and has the work to back it up,

76
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: to be criticized, it's seen stopping you what you were doing,

77
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: making you feel like you were one inch from the ground,

78
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: so small, belittling your process. I almost don't blame Lucy

79
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: Loo for throwing punches at him for being such a jerk.

80
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: And even though he was replaced in the sequel with

81
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: Bernie mag Bill Murray still says that the entire incident

82
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: was overblown. Either way, it is clear that Bill Murray

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: was not fun to be around on set. He comes

84
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: in at number ten. Next up at number nine is

85
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan in The Canyons. Back in twenty thirteen. Lindsay

86
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: Lohan was not in the best season of her life

87
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: when this movie was being made. I think this is

88
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: something she has moved past now. She has had a

89
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: renaissance in the last couple of years, especially this year

90
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: with Freaky Your Friday. But director Paul Schrader said that

91
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: she was such a nightmare to work with on this movie.

92
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: He reportedly almost fired her multiple times, stating that she

93
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 1: was unreliable late, was very argumentative, and she would also

94
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: disappear for hours, demand control over the final cut, which

95
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: is a huge thing to demand, and often just brought

96
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: in chaos wherever she went on set. This was also

97
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: a smaller movie. The entire budget was only a quarter

98
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: of a million dollars, with a lot of the funding

99
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: coming through online donations. This was a kickstarter movie, back

100
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: when people were still experimenting with using that resource to

101
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: make movies. This is what Paul Schrader was trying to do.

102
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: He was trying this as an experiment and was able

103
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: to make the movie at a really low cost. Paid

104
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: the actors a flat daily rate, So maybe that also

105
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: had a little bit to play into her demeanor on

106
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: set and some of her actions. Maybe she was used

107
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: to getting paid a lot more. Maybe at this point

108
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: in her life she needed to make more money. And

109
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: then you think of where her career went from the

110
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: early two thousands to making a lot of money on

111
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: movies to now doing a smaller independent movie just trying

112
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: to get some work. Here, you could see how all

113
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: of these factors play into the perfect storm of somebody

114
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: who was not the best person to work with with

115
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: all she had going on in her personal life. And

116
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: I don't think I would have included this one on

117
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: the list if she was not in a better place now.

118
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: It seems like time has been healing for her. She

119
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: is somebody who I greatly root for because a lot

120
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: of her work early on in her career was a

121
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 1: very big part of my childhood and young adult wife

122
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: that I think it is inspiring to see somebody come

123
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: back from some dark times. She has a story of redemption.

124
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: In America, we love to see people come back from that.

125
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: The bad part about that is we also love to

126
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: tear people down. I think society and tabloid culture was

127
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: such a big part of her mental struggles, and how

128
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: much she was criticized and scrutinized during that time, and

129
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 1: how everything was magnified because when you have somebody going

130
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: through that and she is a public person, those things

131
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: get amplified so much that it probably caused so much

132
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: more chaos in her life. So I think this would

133
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: be something that even she would admit to and own

134
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: up to and now say, I am in a much

135
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: better place in my life. But at number nine is

136
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan on the set of the Canyons. At number

137
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: eight is Burt Reynolds in Boogie Knights back in nineteen

138
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: ninety seven, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who was only

139
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: like twenty six or twenty seven when he directed this movie.

140
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: He was just in the early stages of his career

141
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: and then went on to direct movies like There Will

142
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: Be Blood and This Year One Battle after another. He

143
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: also did punch drunk love movies like that. Burt Reynolds,

144
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 1: on the other hand, was probably more in the tail

145
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: end of his career, and I guess he just needed

146
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: the money because he reportedly hated the material of Boogie

147
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: Knights because it is about the adult film industry. He

148
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: thought the role and the movie was beneath him, and

149
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: the script was disgusting and translated to how he treated

150
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: everybody on set. The ironic thing was he ended up

151
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: getting an Oscar nomination for this movie, and that was

152
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: even though him and Paul Thomas Anderson clashed so much

153
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: during the filming of this movie. And I have to

154
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: imagine that was probably the biggest learning lesson for Paul

155
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: Thomas Anderson, who was just getting his start. I bet

156
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: he thought it was one of those situations where it

157
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: was going to be so cool to work with such

158
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: an iconic actor, and then he gets on set and

159
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: the guy is just a jerk. He refused to do

160
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: any press for the movie. Reportedly, Bert Reynolds fired his

161
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: agent after it, but since it did get him his

162
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: first ever Oscar nomination, he later admitted I should have

163
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: trusted Paul Thomas Anderson more. This was a case where

164
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: I think he was just terrible to work with and

165
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: he probably was more what we were talking about earlier

166
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: on the way down of his career, and that is

167
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: where you just start finding people that you can punge

168
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: to blame for all of the problems that you were

169
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: dealing with. This also kind of reminds me of Marlon

170
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: Brando later in his career, where he would show up

171
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: on set late. He would have it in his contract

172
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: where he could only work a certain amount of hours

173
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: and if he was on set for longer than those

174
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: amount of hours, they had to pay him more. And

175
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: I have to imagine this is what they are talking

176
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: about when they say never meet your heroes. But Burt

177
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: Reynolds is at number eight from Boogie Knights. At number

178
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: seven is Jared Leto on the set of The Suicide

179
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: Squad back in twenty sixteen. He really wanted the rest

180
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: of the cast to be freaked out by his portrayal

181
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: of the Joker because that was supposed to be the

182
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: big selling point of this movie. We had just had

183
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: the greatest Joker ever in The Dark Knight just eight

184
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: years before this in two thousand and eight with Heath Ledger.

185
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: We had Jack Nicholson, obviously, but the Joker was one

186
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: of those roles that somebody takes him on and it's

187
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: going to be a big noteworthy performance. Therefore it has

188
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: to be iconic. So Jared Leto, I wanted to create

189
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: this really punk rock, mysterious, highly sensational version of the Joker.

190
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: He had had twos. He was a little bit too

191
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: weird and mob Boss liked for my liking, but I

192
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: thought maybe if it's just so over the top, it

193
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: could work. But Jared Leto took it so seriously that

194
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: he started to send his co stars quote unquote gifts

195
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: like used condoms, bullets, and dead animals, which is really weird.

196
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: But he really wanted to play into what he thinks

197
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: the Joker was, which I don't really think that the

198
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: Joker would do something like that. I think this was

199
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: just a dumb idea to get a rise out of

200
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: his co stars. To me, he comes across as somebody

201
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: who is very artsy and maybe thinks that he is

202
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: a next level thinker by doing something like this, when

203
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: it turns out it just kind of a jerk. And Margot,

204
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: Robbie Byola, Davis, will Smith all admitted that they were

205
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: all weirded out, so it probably got what he was

206
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: looking for there, but it didn't translate to a good performance.

207
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: If he would have done that, and the version of

208
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: the Joker that he did would have been more dynamic,

209
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: would have been more memorable. If that entire movie would

210
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: have been carried more by the seven minutes he was

211
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: on screen, for which he was paid seven million dollars,

212
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: I would have said, Okay, dead Rat in My Mailbox

213
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: is worth it. But the fact that there were so

214
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: many problems and that a lot of his scenes were

215
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: cut from the movie, it seems like all of that

216
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: pain and chaos that he caused his co stars were

217
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: not worth it. So this was the case of somebody

218
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: who took method acting a little bit too far. But

219
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: it was a fail. Even though he was trying to

220
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: do good by giving a great performance and a great character,

221
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: he still failed. And number seven is Jared Leto in

222
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: Suicide Squad. At number six we have Shilabuff in Fury

223
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: from twenty fourteen. He also reportedly went full method actor.

224
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite war movies. I also

225
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: love movies set in World War Two. It is a

226
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: great drama. What Shilabuff did. He cut his face, he

227
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: had an actual tooth pulled, and he also refused to

228
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: shower because he wanted to be like a real soldier

229
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: in World War Two. And his co stars, including Brad Pitt,

230
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: were not happy with this because in this movie, they

231
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: have to spend a lot of time in a tank,

232
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: really close quarters. And if you have somebody in there

233
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: who has not showered all through filming, which you have

234
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: to imagine just somebody not showering for a week, you're

235
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: gonna get pretty musty. But add on to that that

236
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: you were in a lot of action sequences in a

237
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: tank that you were just sweating profusely every single time

238
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: you were in there on a movie set with big

239
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: lights and doing a lot of physical things, you have

240
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: to smell so ripe. And because of all these things

241
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: that he was doing, but I have to imagine that

242
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: it was the smell that really pushed everybody to the

243
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: edge that created a lot of tension on the set,

244
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: especially on the scenes that took place in the tank,

245
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: which is a good chunk of the movie. Shila Buff

246
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: is historically an actor who butts heads not only with

247
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: his co stars, but also with directors. I think if

248
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: you were to ask me three hundred episodes ago, when

249
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: I was a bigger fan of Shila Buff on the

250
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: first ever episode of this podcast, the first movie I

251
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: reviewed was his movie honey Boy. If you would have

252
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: asked me this question three hundred episodes ago, I probably

253
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: would have made more of a case for him just

254
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: trying to be a great method actor. Now, seeing the

255
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: roles in between these three hundred episodes that I've done,

256
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: I feel like he is somebody who is really passionate,

257
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: but a little blind to reality. So at number six,

258
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: we have Shila buff on the set of Fury. They

259
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: wanted to kill him because he was thinking. At number five,

260
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: Richard Pryor on the set of Blue Collar back in

261
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight. Richard Pryor is one of my top

262
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: ten comedians of all time. At this point in his life,

263
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: he was struggling with addiction, paranoia, and that alone was

264
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: making the set pretty toxic. But then the big moment came,

265
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: the thing that blew the doors off of this set.

266
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: He reportedly, because he was in such a bad mental state,

267
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: he pulled a gun on the director, a director we've

268
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: already talked about on this list, Paul Schrader, the guy

269
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: who did the Lindsay Lohan movie we were talking about.

270
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: Paul Schrader once called the filming of Blue Collar the

271
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: most unpleasant experience of my life because of all the

272
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: things that Richard Pryor was struggling with. He was so

273
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: erratic and so hostile that it made the movie set insufferable. Allegedly,

274
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: in a drug fueled rage, he held the gun at

275
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: him and stated that he would not do any more

276
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: than three takes of any scene. That is an excellent

277
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: level chaos on set. That's when it gets real. That's

278
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: when you almost want to shoot. If the entire thing

279
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: that you were filming this is no longer the set

280
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: of Blue Collar. We're just going to film a behind

281
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: the scenes documentary and that is our story. There was

282
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: a lot of tension between all the lead actors that

283
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: resulted in him in actual physical altercations with other people

284
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: in the movie. At one point, Richard Pryor and his

285
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: bodyguard pinned another actor to the floor and pummeled them,

286
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: just straight up beat them up. This is the most

287
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: violent set that I've ever heard about, not just the fighting.

288
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: If it was just that incident of him and his

289
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: bodyguard getting somebody, pulling them to the ground and beating

290
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: them up, that would be an extremely violent set. But

291
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: the fact that he pulled out a gun on the director.

292
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Richard Pryor not good man. He comes in

293
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: at number five on the set of Blue Collar at

294
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: number four. Christian Bale on the set of American Psycho

295
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: back in two thousand. I think this is a case

296
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: of just somebody taking method act to an extreme, which

297
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: is something that Christian Bale does. But he was reportedly

298
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: just as intense when the cameras stopped rolling as he

299
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: was when they were on. Because I think, out of

300
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,119
Speaker 1: all the movies on this list, pound for pound, American

301
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: Psycho is the best movie, the most iconic one that

302
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: actually benefited from the method acting, but all the people

303
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: around him did not enjoy it. He rubbed a lot

304
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: of people the wrong way. Even though his portrayal and

305
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: performance as Patrick Bateman is so iconic and terrifying, he

306
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: was actually terrifying the other people he was working with.

307
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: Many people said that they avoided him entirely between takes

308
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: because he was too convincing as the narcissistic killer that

309
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: they actually thought, maybe this guy is actually going to

310
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: kill me. He is a little bit unstable, and I

311
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: do not want to be around Patrick Bateman, even though

312
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: I know it is Christian Bale acting as Patrick Bateman.

313
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: And while I think, okay, maybe this was just him

314
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: taking method acting to an extreme. He's just really passionate

315
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: about his work. Was just years later that the whole

316
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: outburst on the Terminator Salvation set happened, the infamous one

317
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: where he said this, oh good for you and how

318
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: was it? So maybe I don't know. He is not

319
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: the easiest to work with, but maybe that's the price

320
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: you pay with some people, because Christian Bale is a

321
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: great actor. The Dark Knight, the Prestige, vice Ford b. Ferrari,

322
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: the Fighter, has been in a lot of good movies,

323
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: but he's also probably yelled at a lot of people.

324
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: At number four is Christian Bale in American Psycho. At

325
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: number three Wesley Snipes in Blade Trinity. Back in two

326
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: thousand and four. He was reportedly so unhappy that his

327
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: character was being sidelined in the franchise in favor for

328
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: the people who were being added to the movie, Ryan

329
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: Reynolds and Jessica Biel. He was intimidated by that. He

330
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: didn't like that, so he made the set pretty miserable

331
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: because of that. Legend has it that one scene Wesley

332
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: Snipes refuse he used to open his eyes. He was

333
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: in an argument with the director and he was so

334
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: petty that he would not open his eyes during this scene,

335
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: and they had to go back in and give him

336
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: CGI eyeballs because he never opened his eyes. On the

337
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: set of Blade Trinity, he allegedly stayed in his trailer,

338
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: communicated only through post it notes, and refused to work

339
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: with the film's director in that scene, costing them so

340
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: much money because it would be so easy for him

341
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: just to open his eyes. They get it on camera,

342
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: but instead they had to use the shot and go

343
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: and spend money to put the CGI eyeballs in. Maybe

344
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: that's why they decided to kill the Blade franchise that

345
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: ended the trilogy, although he did make his return in

346
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: Deadpool and Wolverine, where he said the infamous line, there's

347
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: only one Blade. They were supposed to make another Blade

348
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: with myhersche law Ali. I don't think that movie will

349
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: ever get made now. Maybe we're just not ready for

350
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: another Blade. I would have loved to have seen maherschel

351
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: Ali in this role. I bet he would have kept

352
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: his eyes open. But at number three we have Wesley

353
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: Snipes in Blade Trinity. At number two, Mike Myers on

354
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: the set of The Cat in the Hat back in

355
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, where he was reportedly controlling, humorless,

356
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: and prone to tantrums, so much so that the movie tanked.

357
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: Crew members said that Mike Myers dictated every creative choice

358
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: and made everybody around him miserable, from people working on

359
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: the crew, to the director to the co stars, which

360
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: were also young actors, everybody from camera operators to extras.

361
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: Could you imagine being an extra on The Cat in

362
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: the Hat and you're like, man, this is gonna be cool.

363
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: I get to stand around, make a little bit of

364
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: money and see one of the funniest actors of all

365
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: time from Saturday Night Live, Mike Myers. And here you

366
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: have Mike Myers who is yelling at you, dressed like

367
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: the Cat in the Hat. That had to be a

368
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: wildly traumatic experience. Why is this Doctor Seue's character trying

369
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: to run me over with this golf cart? The experience

370
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: was so bad that Doctor Seuss, sorry, my ban Margeria

371
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: came out there that Doctor Seuss's widow refused to allow

372
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: any more live action adaptations of his books Cat and

373
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: the Hat killed It. Mike Myers was also contractually obligated

374
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: to do The Cat in the Hat, and I think

375
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: that probably was a big contributing factor to the reason

376
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: that he was so awful to be around on this set.

377
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: Because Mike Myers had backed out of a movie called Sprockets,

378
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: which was based on an SNL character, and as part

379
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: of the legal settlement with the Universal Pictures, he was

380
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: obligated to make another film for the studio and that

381
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: role ended up being The Cat in the Hat. So

382
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: he didn't want to do this movie. He didn't want

383
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: to be attached to this franchise, so he showed up

384
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: on set and was a miserable Cat in the Hat.

385
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: Although I do think now over twenty years removed from

386
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 1: this movie, it has become one of those that is

387
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: so bad that it is good. And I think the

388
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: people who grew up with this movie and experienced it

389
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: as a kid now say that The Cat in the

390
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: Hat is an underappreciated movie. I didn't much care for

391
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: it when it came out. There was that entire run

392
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: in the early and mid two thousands, in late two

393
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: thousands where all the Doctor Seuss movies just started getting

394
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: spit out, And I have to say, I'm just the

395
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: bigger fan of the books. But at number two is

396
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: Mike Myers and The Cat and the Hat. Before we

397
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: get to number one, I have an honorable mention. It

398
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: is ed Norton on the set of The Incredible Hulk

399
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and eight. I honestly think that

400
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: ed Norton was too good of an actor for this

401
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: role and he wanted to bring something different to Bruce Banner,

402
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: and I think it was just not met creatively where

403
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: he wanted this movie to be. But because of that,

404
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: he was really controlling. He reportedly rewrote huge chunks of

405
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: the script. He fought with Marvel over the creative decisions,

406
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: and that is why now Ed Norton is no longer

407
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: Bruce Banner, no longer the Hulk. It is now Mark Ruffalo.

408
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: So I don't entirely blame him, because if you saw

409
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: the first Hulk movie that came out in the early

410
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: two thousands, Eric banna O was not good and the

411
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: Hulk has just not been given a great run at

412
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: the box office, hasn't had the best interpretation of the character.

413
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: And I still think the Incredible Hulk from two thousand

414
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: and eight was the best look we've had. Now. I

415
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: think overall, Mark Ruffalo embodies Bruce Banner better than Edward

416
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: Norton did. But I don't think we've still seen the

417
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: best depiction of the Hulk. I want somebody who is

418
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: more fueled with anger, somebody who is stronger and more

419
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: powerful and has all those capabilities that we love the

420
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: Hulk for that has made him an iconic comic book character.

421
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: We still haven't got that yet, and unfortunately Universal still

422
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: has the rights to him, so we're never going to

423
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: see him. But I will settle for a cameo, hopefully

424
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: a bigger storyline in Doomsday and Secret Wars. But at

425
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: number one, we have Jim Carrey. On the set of

426
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: A Man on the Moon from nineteen ninety nine. Jim

427
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: Carrey stayed in character as Andy Kaufman the entire time

428
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: and alienated pretty much everybody on the set. He insisted

429
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: that everybody on the set A Man on the Moon

430
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: call him Andy, or they could call him Andy Kaufman's

431
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: alter ego, Tony Clifton whenever he was doing that character,

432
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: but couldn't call him Jim. The crew said it was

433
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: like working with a ghost, and his behavior was so

434
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: intense that it inspired its own documentary, which is a

435
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: fantastic documentary. If you enjoyed this movie, or if you're

436
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: a fan of Jim Carrey. It is called Jim and

437
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: Andy the Great Beyond, and that documentary shows how uncomfortable

438
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: everybody really was while making this movie, and I think

439
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: out of everybody on this list, he is the one

440
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: who took their role the most serious but also had

441
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: the best results, so it wasn't wasted. And I think

442
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey probably also felt bad treating people poorly, making

443
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,959
Speaker 1: people uncomfortable, but that was the price he was willing

444
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: to pay to do a great Andy Coffin because if

445
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: you watch that documentary, he was a huge fan of

446
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: his work, and if you think about how great of

447
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: a comedic actor Jim Carrey is, that is one role

448
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: where I truly saw him become Andy Kaufman, because I

449
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: wasn't that familiar with Andy Kaufman when he was alive.

450
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: So this is one of those movies for me where

451
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: it feels like I really got to know him, and

452
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: to me, Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman is my best

453
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: reference for how he really was, because I don't really

454
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: remember a time when Andy Coffin was on TV doing

455
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: all those storylines of like wrestling women getting into a

456
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: fight on late night TV with Jerry the King Lawler,

457
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: I don't remember any of that. For me, it is

458
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: seeing Jim Carrey portray him in this movie that makes

459
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: me feel like this is where he lives. This is

460
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: the association I have with Andy Kaufman as a person.

461
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: Much like for me, when I think of Selena Quintania,

462
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: I think of Jennifer Lopez's performance in that movie that

463
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: she to me is Selena. Same thing with lou Diamond Phillips.

464
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: I don't know a whole lot of live footage that

465
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: exists of Richie Vallens before that, So for me, seeing

466
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: him in that movie is my best depiction and understanding

467
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: of what they were like in real life. So those

468
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: are three examples of people I feel were preserved perfectly

469
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: in film through fantastic portrayals and fantastic performances from all

470
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: of those actors. But that type of performance requires some

471
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: intensity and is gonna rub people the wrong way. So

472
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: at number one, you have Jim Carrey on the set

473
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: of The Man on the Moon. I'll come back and

474
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: I'll give my review of Springsteen Liver Me from nowhere.

475
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: Let's get into it now. A spoiler free movie review

476
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: of Springsteen Delivered Me from nowhere. I will say at

477
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: the top of this review, when it comes to the

478
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: level of Bruce Springsteen fan, I am out of ten.

479
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm about a two going into this movie. If you

480
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: ask me how many Bruce Springsteen songs that I know,

481
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: I probably would have said too. And sometimes I sit

482
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: here and I listen to a bunch of music while

483
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm working on things, while I'm going through my notes,

484
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: and I will say, in the course of the last year,

485
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: I will just randomly put on the two songs that

486
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: I know because I do enjoy them. But I feel

487
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: like the people who love Bruce Springsteen really love Bruce Springsteen,

488
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: and his music just never spoke to me was a

489
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: little bit ahead of my time. I was more into

490
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: the bands that were influenced by Bruce Springsteen, bands like

491
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: Against Me, the Gaslight Anthem, Flatliners, this sound that kind

492
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: of developed in the mid to late two thousands early

493
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: twenty tens that had his style of songwriting, the echo

494
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: and the voice, the big anthems. I got into that

495
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: for a very brief period, but he is just not

496
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: one of my favorite artists, so going into it I

497
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: knew I was coming from. I don't want to say

498
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: a negative place, but a place that the movie was

499
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: going to have to win me over as a fan.

500
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: And when I go watch a biopick about somebody who

501
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest fan of, my sign of it

502
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: being successful is do I leave that theater and want

503
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: to go listen to their music. It happened with Bohemian Rhapsody,

504
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: It happened just last year with the Bob Dylan movie

505
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: with Timothy Shallome. To me, that is a sign of

506
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: a good music bio pick. But this one is a

507
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: lot different because it doesn't attempt to tell his entire

508
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: life story. It is based on a book and is

509
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: really only focused on the time between nineteen eighty one

510
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: to about nineteen eighty two where he was recording his

511
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,479
Speaker 1: album Nebraska, which was still early in his career. He

512
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: had Born to Run already, but this album was a

513
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: huge departure from what he was already known for, seeing

514
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: as a big risk. If you were to ask me

515
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: before I went to go see this, I couldn't even

516
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: name you one song from it. But now I know

517
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: a whole lot about it. So instead of this movie

518
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: trying to show you his entire life why he is

519
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: the way he is, his ups and downs, his highest moments.

520
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't show that at all. It really just focuses

521
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: on that one period of time where he's starting to

522
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: get that taste of fame. He has success. He's still

523
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: not global superstar Bruce Springsteen, but he is recognizable. He

524
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: is a bankable name. He is somebody that the record

525
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: label now knows what they have, and he is struggling

526
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: with that. With that taste of fame, he feels a

527
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: lot of guilt. He doesn't know how to form relationships

528
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: with women. He's also dealing with a lot of depressions.

529
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: So it starts with him closing a tour, getting away

530
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: from the city, going back home to record what he

531
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: thinks is just going to be the demos to his

532
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: album Nebraska super Low five. He has a four track recorder,

533
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: which at this time was seen as something really experimental.

534
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: Not many artists, if any, were recording things at their home,

535
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: which now is just the norm people recording hiro albums

536
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: never even have to leave their house and they have

537
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: studio quality, but at that time wasn't something that you did.

538
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: But he wanted these songs to breathe, He wanted them

539
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: to really capture the emotion and he didn't really set

540
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: out to make an album this way, where Bruce knew

541
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: he needed to make this album this way in order

542
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: to get this message across, and his manager had to

543
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: challenge him a little bit because he is his manager.

544
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: But also ultimately, at the end of the day, know

545
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: that I'm here because of Bruce Springsteen. We are in

546
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: the business of Springsteen, and whatever he says, I'm going

547
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: to commit myself to as long as I know he

548
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: is committed to one hundred percent. And surprise, throughout the

549
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: entire almost two hours of this movie, there is very

550
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: little music. It starts with him opening up a big concert,

551
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: so you get that feel. And Jeremy ellen White did

552
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: all the singing in this movie, which is really hard

553
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: to believe. I almost believe they weren't telling us the

554
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: full truth in that because he sounds so much like him.

555
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: He has that rasp, he has that on stage presence

556
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: that really captures Bruce Springsteen. So I was like, man,

557
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: he did a really good job at that because that

558
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: really sells he wanted. But you see those performances at

559
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: the beginning a little bit sprinkle in throughout with them

560
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: going back into the recording studio, him recording it at home.

561
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: But I would say out of the entire almost two

562
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: hour runtime, twenty percent of it is music, a lot

563
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,239
Speaker 1: of it is a character study, and it ended up

564
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: feeling like the most slice of life biopic that I've

565
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: ever watched, And at times that was hard because if

566
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: this movie was not based on Bruce Springsteen's life, and

567
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: it was just a movie out of context, just here

568
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: you go, just watch this movie about somebody you have

569
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: no idea about. If I were just watching this not

570
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: knowing this was based on real events, which it does

571
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: stick pretty close to his real life because it is

572
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: based on the book, where I think the only real

573
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: liberty that they took was the love interest in this movie.

574
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: In his real life wasn't just one person. I think

575
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: there were multiple women and they decided just to take

576
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: all those relationships and just put it into one character

577
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: to have it fit into the story. Aside from that,

578
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: all the things that he went through, it is exactly

579
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: how it happened in real life. If I just looked

580
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: at the events of this story, I don't think it

581
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: is strong enough for a movie. There was not that

582
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: big climax moment, and a thing that biopics that does

583
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: get annoying, And now I'm realizing there's a fine balance

584
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: in between, because sometimes you watch a movie and they

585
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: just embellish so much they make them look like the

586
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: biggest rock stars. They can't leave their house without getting

587
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: swarm by fans, They're getting hounded down everywhere. It makes

588
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: it feel like the entire world is talking about this

589
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: one person, where that's probably not the reality. I always

590
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: find that really annoying, where it's like everybody's talking about

591
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: what the next Bruce Springsteen album. I enjoyed that they

592
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: made him feel like just a normal person, where I

593
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: know he wasn't as famous as he is now at

594
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: this time in nineteen eighty one, nineteen eighty two, but

595
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: he was able to walk down the street normally, he

596
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: goes to a restaurant with his manager, normally, even goes

597
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: back home, and has pretty normal interactions where you can

598
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: tell that people around him are still like in all

599
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: of him just a little bit, but it's not so

600
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: much like, oh my gosh, there's Bruce Springsteen, so it

601
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: doesn't really embellish in a way to make it so

602
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: larger than life. I enjoyed that part of it, but

603
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 1: also I found myself saying maybe they should have embellished

604
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: just a little bit. Because I love Jeremy Allen White.

605
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: He's a fantastic actor, is so committed in every scene.

606
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: I think it is his performance that really draws me

607
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: into the character of Bruce Springsteen. And although I didn't

608
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: leave this movie a bigger Springsteen fan, I did leave

609
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: this movie a bigger Bruce or Bruce ye fan as

610
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: him as a person, because I think it was a

611
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: vulnerable story to put out there. All the demons he

612
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: was fighting, his relationship with his father was really powerful,

613
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: and I think this movie almost could have come later,

614
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: which is weird to say, I know, but I almost

615
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: want the entire Bruce Springsteen's story told with Jeremy ellen White,

616
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: so maybe we could create two versions. I also think

617
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: we're getting at a point where we need to create

618
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: a music biopic cinematic universe where eventually, much like the Avengers,

619
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: all these musical icons just meet up for one movie.

620
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: We had the Bob Dylan movie, now we have the

621
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: Springsteen movie. We had the Elvis movie a few years ago.

622
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: We have four individual Beatles movie coming. We also have

623
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: a Michael Jackson movie coming. So I know all their

624
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: careers probably don't line up, but it's a cinematic universe.

625
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: We can break some rules here. We get to a

626
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: point where all these musicians end up coming together, much

627
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: like the Avengers, and you have all these amazing actors

628
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: portraying these icons for a big team up. Maybe we

629
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: make a We Are the World movie where everybody's in

630
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: one room together and it's much like the Avengers coming together,

631
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: like Avengers assembol. All you rock stars get into this

632
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: room and take down the musical walls. I don't know,

633
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: do something heroic, Yeah, Michael Jackson picking up Thor's hammer.

634
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: That would be fantastic. I feel like I wish all

635
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: of these biopics existed in one studio so we could

636
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: get something like that. And I know that's probably what

637
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: a lot of people would hate to see because the

638
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: Marvel method to making movies, A lot of people have

639
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: a problem with it, saying it's destroyed Hollywood, even though

640
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: I feel like it has kept it afloat for the

641
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: last fifteen years. That would be amazing to see because

642
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,479
Speaker 1: I almost want a deliver me from nowhere to where

643
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: we do get him going into his superstardom era. I

644
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: think there is more story to be told here. So

645
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: even though I enjoyed the movie for what it was,

646
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be a little bit

647
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: more next level. I also thought maybe Jeremy Allen White

648
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,479
Speaker 1: would be in the conversation for Best Actor. I don't

649
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: think his performance was enough to even have a look

650
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: at that. I think this movie is more for the

651
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 1: really big Bruce Springsteen fan who knows the lore behind

652
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: his career. But I think for somebody who like me,

653
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: maybe only knows a couple of songs wouldn't be in

654
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: your top maybe even fifty artists, maybe even one hundred artists.

655
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it was enough to win us over

656
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: right now. I also don't know if this story really

657
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: demanded the big screen for Springsteen delivered me from nowhere.

658
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: I give it three point five out of five. It's

659
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: time to head down to movie mikes. Traylor Pauls. There

660
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: aren't many things that I crave in this world. I'm

661
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: not a cravings person. I probably used to be, back

662
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: when I was a chunkier fella. I would get a

663
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: craving or like a fried cherry pie that was my

664
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: aw maybe like a water Burger taco bell. Oh. I

665
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: used to have a lot of Taco Bell cravings. But

666
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: now the things that I crave are movies, and we

667
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: have a movie coming out this December. It's a dramedy

668
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: with Adam Sandler and George Clooney. That is something that

669
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: I crave. Both of those two people together in a dramedy.

670
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: It's quite possibly my favorite thing. I crave it. I

671
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: need it. Because Adam Sandler, we get the Who's Jeeves,

672
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: that's all fine, But when he's steps away from that

673
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: and does something dramatic, I'm not even talking about uncut jams.

674
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: I am talking about when he does something that is

675
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: straight ahead and character driven, I love it. Same thing

676
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: with George Clooney. It's very versatile, legacy actor, if you will.

677
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: But when he does something that is so centered around life,

678
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: centered around one person struggling with an issue, I love it.

679
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: Both of these two people together. You got Laura Dernan

680
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: here too, directed by Noah Bamback, who also did Marriage Story,

681
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: who is really great at making big life dramas. Here

682
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: we have George Clooney playing a famous movie star who

683
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: decides to go on a European journey after he has

684
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: a bit of a breakdown. Adam Sandler is playing his manager,

685
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: who ends up going with him because he does everything

686
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: with him. The movie is about the journey of self

687
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: discovery as Jay Kelly is confronting his past, looking back

688
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: on his career, and struggling with his identity. There are

689
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: so many things to un hack from this trailer. I

690
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: want to get all into it, but before we do again,

691
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: this movie is coming out on Netflix on December fifth.

692
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: It'll also come out in se LEC theaters on November fourteenth.

693
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: That usually means that Netflix is saying this is gonna

694
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 1: be the movie we push during award season, and it

695
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: is starting to give those vibes. So before I get

696
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: into more, here is just a little bit of the j.

697
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: Kelly trailer. When I look at you, I see my

698
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: whole life. Lately, I feel like my life doesn't really

699
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: feel real. Suddenly remembering things and what is that memory?

700
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: That's like a movie where I'm playing myself. I just

701
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: want you to come with me to see what I did. Yeah,

702
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: it's got to immense something. What if it didn't. All

703
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: my memories are movies. That's what movies are for us.

704
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 1: Pieces of time, nieces of time. I feel like George

705
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: Clooney is playing a version of himself, because what we

706
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: heard in that trailer is he is struggling with the

707
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: idea that all of his memories are rooted in the

708
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: movies where he was playing other people. That is a

709
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: crazy concept to think about. George Clooney, somebody who has

710
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: been acting basically my entire life forever, one of the

711
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: most famous actors in all the land. When he starts

712
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: looking back on his life and he's thinking about all

713
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: his favorite memories, they are all rooted in movies. I mean,

714
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure he has some life stuff, but are they

715
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: really his memories or are they the memories of his characters?

716
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: And if they are the memories of his characters, does

717
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: that count? And I think that is what he is

718
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 1: asking there at the end of the trailer where he says,

719
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: all of my memories are movies. And I think that

720
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 1: is a beautifully written line, something that really just sparks

721
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: something in me, because I'm not an actor, not trying

722
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: to be an actor, but I love movies more than

723
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: any thing. The way I relate to this is me

724
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: watching movies and the memories I have from that are

725
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: my life. Because I feel such a close connection with

726
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: the things that I watch. But I've learned so much

727
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: from movies. I think I become more open minded because

728
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: of movies. That is why I value them so much.

729
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 1: And when I think back on all of my life,

730
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: I can usually find a movie that coincides with that.

731
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: And I think that is why I love doing this

732
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: podcast and why I have been able to do this

733
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: podcast now since twenty nineteen is because it's not just

734
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: talking about movies. It is talking about life. And in

735
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: every review I try to do, or every trailer park,

736
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: I try to find a piece of myself that I

737
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 1: can share with you, because that is what I always

738
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: try to look. I try to find that piece of

739
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: humanity in every movie that I cover, because I think

740
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: that is the only thing I have real expertise in

741
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: is the way that movie make me feel. I'm not

742
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: going to really try to break down a whole lot

743
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 1: of things about I mean, I get into a little

744
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: bit of cinematography, but I can't break it down like

745
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: a real film analyst can. I didn't go to school

746
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: for it. But I can tell you how movies make

747
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: me feel and how they relate to my own personal relationships,

748
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: my views on the world, my understanding of humanity. So

749
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: if I think back on all of my memories, I

750
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: also have to think back on all the movies that

751
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 1: I have watched, because I feel like the great ones

752
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: really become a part of me, and there are certain

753
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: movies that alter my brain's chemistry. And I never really

754
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: thought about it from the perspective of the actor, like

755
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: Jake Kelly in this, if you spent your entire life

756
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: being famous and putting your all into these roles, which

757
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: memories are yours and which memories belong to your characters?

758
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: So I think this is going to be a fantastic

759
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: way for a big Hollywood actor to have a mental breakdown.

760
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: The other line that stuck out to me was at

761
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: the beginning of the trailer, I'll play it again for you.

762
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: When I look at you, I see my whole life.

763
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: Talking about movies the actor that when I look at them,

764
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: I see my whole life, it has to be Leonardo DiCaprio.

765
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 1: I thought about this a lot, and I kind of

766
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 1: feel like that's a basic answer, because, like George Clody,

767
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: he is one of the most famous actors has been

768
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: for a very long time now, got to start back

769
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: in the eighties, but If I look back on all

770
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: of his roles, starting from his TV show that he

771
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: was on Growing Pains all through the nineties, What's Eating

772
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: Gilbert Great Titanic is incredible run in the two thousands

773
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: and the twenty tens, I feel like he became even

774
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: more refined with movies like Conception, finally won his first

775
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: oscar with The Revenant, and now is still giving us

776
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: incredible looks at what he can do with movies like

777
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: one battle after another. And I think if there was

778
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: one person that I would say that to, it would

779
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: be Leonardo DiCaprio. And that's what happens in the trailer

780
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: to Jay Kelly Is is George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Laura

781
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: Dern are getting on a train for their big European vacation,

782
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: and all these people start to recognize him because he

783
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: is also that level of famous in this movie. And

784
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: that is what that person tells him that when he

785
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: sees j Kelly, he sees his entire life. And I

786
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: think that is what I would feel like if I

787
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: were ever to see Leonardo DiCaprio, because I feel like

788
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: he is one of those actors who still has a

789
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: little bit of mystery to him. I don't know what

790
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio does on a random Tuesday afternoon. He's not

791
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: trying to sell me things on Instagram that aren't his movies.

792
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: So there is still that bit of mystery to him

793
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,959
Speaker 1: where I don't really know a whole lot about him

794
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: that if I saw him, I would still be starstruck,

795
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: and I would look back on all the movies I

796
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: have seen him in over my life, from Catch Me.

797
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: If you can all these incredible roles with all these

798
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: different iconic characters, he is the only person I think

799
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 1: I think could embody that sentiment. Maybe runner up would

800
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: be Robert Downey Junior, but that's largely due to the

801
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: MCU and that starts in twenty and eight to twenty nineteen,

802
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: so I don't think I would feel as big of

803
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: a oh, I see my entire life with you. I

804
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: see a big chunk of my life, a really significant

805
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: part of my life. But I think the one actor

806
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: would be Leonardo DiCaprio. I always like to look at

807
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: the last five films of directors and actors. When it

808
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: comes to director Noah Bomback. His last five films include

809
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: White Noise, which I feel a lot of people did

810
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: not enjoy that movie, but it is another Netflix movie.

811
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: Marriage Story was before that. I love that movie. Adam

812
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: Driver and Scarlett Johansson yelling at each other. I thought

813
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: that was fantastic. The Myrowitz Stories, which also starred Adam

814
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: Sandler from twenty seventeen. I think if you like Adam

815
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: Sandler's more dramatic performances, that is a good one if

816
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: you haven't seen it. Mistress America in twenty fifteen and

817
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: While We Were Young from twenty four That one had

818
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: Ben Stiller in it. When it comes to George Clooney's

819
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: last five films, last year he did Wolfs which I

820
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: was so disappointed in that movie and thinking back on

821
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 1: how it relates to this movie now is you also

822
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: had two big A list stars that movie was George

823
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: Clooney and Brad Pitt. I feel like I was led

824
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: a bit astray from the trailer, which the entire trailer

825
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: was probably two and a half minutes, and that translated

826
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: to about the first thirty minutes of the movie. I

827
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: think that movie kind of imploded because there was supposed

828
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: to be a Wolf's two and with the unsuccessfulness of

829
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: that movie on Apple We're never gonna get it. Before

830
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: that was a movie that he didn't star in, but

831
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: he did direct The Boys in the Boat in twenty

832
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: twenty three, So that's probably where he is in his

833
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: career right now, where if he's not starring in a movie,

834
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: he is making a movie. But The Boys in the

835
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: Boat for me, revitalized the sports movie genre. Boys in

836
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: the Boat feels like one that if it came came

837
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: out back in two thousand and two, it would have

838
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: been a movie that I watched in school all the

839
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: time because it has a little bit of history in,

840
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: it has some drama in, it just has a really

841
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: good formula from beginning to end that I feel like

842
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: that should be in the curriculum of movies that we

843
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: forced kids to watch at school. Before that was another

844
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: movie he started, Take It to Paradise. Him and Julia

845
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: Roberts in twenty twenty two. Saw that movie in theaters,

846
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,959
Speaker 1: and it's rare for me to be excited about going

847
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: to see a rom com in theaters. But if there

848
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: are two people who can do that and get butts

849
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: in the seats, it is Julia Roberts and George Clooney

850
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: for a rom com, said and Bali had a good

851
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 1: amount of comedy in it. It was very predictable. From

852
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: when that movie started, you knew exactly how it was

853
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: going to finish, but that did not matter if you

854
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: miss that one, A fantastic rom com Take It to Paradise.

855
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: Before that, another movie, I was let down by The

856
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: Midnight Sky because it had George Clooney kind of a

857
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: sci fi vibe, but that movie just did not have

858
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: any real meaning to it. It came out in twenty twenty,

859
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: so I was just happy to get a new movie

860
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 1: that year, but it being a sci fi thriller, I

861
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: thought there was gonna be a lot more to it,

862
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: but overall the movie was kind of boring. And before

863
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: that was Money Monster in twenty sixteen, so last five

864
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: years not that many big starring roles for him. I

865
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: feel like this movie it will be a big one

866
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: on his resume, especially if it gets him an Oscar nomination,

867
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 1: which given the time this movie is coming out, given

868
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 1: the fact that it will have a small theatrical run,

869
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: even though I don't really think they care about that,

870
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: They're really not going to push it in theaters a

871
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: whole lot. But in order for a movie to be

872
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: nominated for Best Picture, it must have a qualifying theatrical

873
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: run which includes at least a one week run in

874
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 1: a major US market and expand into ten of the

875
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: top fifty US markets. And that is primarily to support

876
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: movie theaters. I think that is important, and really, when

877
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: it comes to movies that get nominated for Best Picture,

878
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: they are not often movies that make a lot of

879
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: money at the box office. I think this is a

880
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: rule set in place to make sure that the industry

881
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: doesn't go entirely to streaming, and it keeps those small

882
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: little theaters afloat even just giving them that one theatrical week.

883
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: But the big release for it will be December fifth

884
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: on Netflix. I cannot wait to cry uncontrollably hopefully by

885
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: the end of this movie. The only thing that was

886
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: distracting from the trailer is the entire trailer is really beautiful,

887
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: but there's this song that is playing and to me,

888
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: it sounds like Adam Sandler singing in one of his characters' voices,

889
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: and I just can't see it any other way. Now.

890
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: Said that was this week's edition of Movie b Framer

891
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 1: par and that is going to do it for another

892
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: episode here of the podcast, but before I go, I

893
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: gotta give my listeners shout out of the week. We

894
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: are climbing over on YouTube, so thank you everybody who

895
00:48:56,120 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: has subscribed in the last two weeks. Really appreciate that

896
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: I am going over there right now to pull my

897
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: listener shout out of the week, because over there you

898
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: will get individual movie reviews. A lot of the movies

899
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: that came out earlier this year that I reviewed after

900
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: seeing them in theaters that are now on streaming services.

901
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 1: Movies like I Know What You Did Last Summer. Weapons

902
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: is also out now on HBO Max. The Substance is

903
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 1: also on HBO Max, which came out last year. But

904
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: if you are now watching those for the first time

905
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: and want to go back and see my reviews on

906
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: each of those movies, you can just go right there

907
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: on YouTube, and it's so easy to find. Speaking to Weapons,

908
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: you can also see my interview with director Zach Kreiger.

909
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: So all of that stuff is over on my YouTube channel,

910
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: YouTube dot com, slash Mike Distro or click the link

911
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: in the episode notes. This week's shout out goes to

912
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: Juan Fayes, who commented on my review of roof Man

913
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,800
Speaker 1: and said thank you for bringing this movie to my attention.

914
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: I am actually a fan of Channing Tatum because of

915
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: twenty one Jump Street, and I think he is an

916
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: underrated actor. Juan, I don't know how underrated Channing Tatum is,

917
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: maybe because people don't take him seriously. So I can

918
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 1: get with you here, Jue, I see where you're coming from,

919
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: because he is highly successful. His movies do pretty well

920
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: most of the time, even though I wish Rufman would

921
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: have done better so far at the box office. But

922
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: I think it's because people don't take him entirely serious

923
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: because of the way that he looks, even though I

924
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: believe he is so dedicated to his craft that I

925
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: could see why some people would consider him an underrated actor.

926
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: I think he also just puts out solid movies like

927
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: Roofman that doesn't feel like the same thing over and

928
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 1: over again. I don't think I would fully commit myself

929
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: to calling him an underrated actor, probably in that mid range,

930
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: because I think he is pretty well celebrated. Or maybe

931
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: it's just me celebrating him. But Juan, I'm glad you

932
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,880
