I am your host, 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: Movie Mike Destro, and today we're talking about this list 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: that came out of the highest paid actors right now 5 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: and how much they made for one single movie. So 6 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: I want to go through that list and also break 7 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: down what I think is a movie role they should 8 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: have made a lot more money on. The comparison between 9 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: these two is pretty surprising to see for these A 10 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: list stars, so we'll get into that. Also do a 11 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: movie review for a new comedy on Hulu called Vacation Friends, 12 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: and then a full breakdown of the Spider Man No 13 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: Way Home trailer, which came out last week and has 14 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people buzzing on the possibilities of this 15 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: Marvel movie. So we'll get into all that. Appreciate you 16 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: guys for being subscribed and listening every single week to 17 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: the podcast without any further ado, let's get started. In 18 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 19 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 20 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so 21 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: much movie knowledge, he's basically like go walking Adavity with 22 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: Cluster from the national podcast network Movie Variety put together 23 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: this list and it's all the biggest movie stars right 24 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: now and the ones that are making the most for 25 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: one single movie. And I've been hanging onto this list 26 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: for a minute now, and what I wanted to do 27 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,559 Speaker 1: is compare what they made on some of the movies 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: that I thought were one of their best movies, movies 29 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: they should have made a lot more money on, and 30 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: compare it to what they are making now. When it 31 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: comes to what actors make for movies, I think sometimes 32 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: it's easy to say, like, how are they making this 33 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: much money to go and act in a movie? Like 34 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: their way overpaid? And I think there are a couple 35 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: of things to consider into what goes into an actor 36 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: salary and why they make so much money. So I 37 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: do think it's a bit justified, a lot justified. One. 38 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: You're paying for what that actor can deliver on screen. 39 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: You have this movie, you have this idea, and you 40 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: want an actor who's going to be able to bring 41 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: this story to life in ways that no other actor could. 42 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: And I think everybody on this list is exactly that. 43 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: They are people who can probably only deliver this kind 44 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: of performance and either the movie was written with them 45 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: in mind, or later down the line they couldn't get 46 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: the person they wanted, so they with the other person. 47 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: It was just as good either way. These are all 48 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: movies with very high budgets and they need that a 49 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: list star to really make it all come together. And 50 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: then the other factor to consider is what actor is 51 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: going to get the most eyeballs on this movie. And 52 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: it's a little bit different now because streaming and box 53 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: office numbers are kind of all skewed together now. Before 54 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: it was like what actor could you put into a 55 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: movie to get the most people to go out and 56 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: actually spend their money to see them on screen. Now 57 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: it's streaming and Netflix. They're shelling out a lot more 58 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: money to get these big names, but there's no real 59 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: intention of like, all right, we're gonna make this movie, 60 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: pay you a lot of money and then hopes that 61 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: you make a lot at the box office. There is 62 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: no box office for these Netflix movies, so it's more 63 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: so they are able to entice these actors and offer 64 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: them a lot more for the normal theatrical releases, and 65 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: you'll see the ones actually making the most now are 66 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: the ones able to get those deals with Netflix, so 67 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of money to be made on streaming 68 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: for actors. In most cases, there's not a whole lot 69 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: for them to make on the back end, which we'll 70 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: talk about later too. Sometimes actors will take a lesser 71 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: salary for a movie with the promise of getting some 72 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: money from ticket sales on the back end. Most cases, 73 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: with streaming, they get paid their X amount of dollars 74 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: and that's it. The movie comes out, they've been given 75 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: their money and there's nothing else to earn from that. 76 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: So all those things go into consideration. We'll get into 77 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,839 Speaker 1: what they are making for these movies that have some 78 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: already come out and others coming out within the next 79 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: couple of years, and then the movie I think is 80 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: my favorite to each of these actors and movies I 81 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: think they should have made a lot more money on. 82 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: So let's get right into this list, starting with number ten. 83 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: Ryan Gosling has the tenth highest salary right now, bringing 84 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: in twenty million dollars for The Gray Man, which is 85 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: the movie on Netflix coming out. And I think Ryan 86 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: Gosling is a fantastic actor, and he's very particular in 87 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: the roles that he takes on. He doesn't do a 88 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: whole lot of movies. He's not one of these actors 89 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: who puts out a movie a year, and from what 90 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: I've seen in interviews and stories about him, he's just 91 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: very particular on what kind of role he takes on. 92 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: He has to kind of believe in the project. And 93 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen a bad Ryan Gosling movie, 94 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: probably for that reason. But my favorite of his of 95 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: all time is a movie I've talked about on this 96 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: podcast several times, and if you haven't watched it at 97 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: this point, well, I don't know what you're waiting for. 98 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: Maybe you're never going to watch it. But it's a 99 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: movie from twenty eleven called Drive, where he plays a 100 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 1: Hollywood stuntman who also moonlights at the getaway driver for criminals. 101 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: First of all, one of the best premises of a 102 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: movie that I can just say in one sentence and 103 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: you automatically know what it's about. But his performance and 104 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: that is so ominous and mysterious, and he plays it 105 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: so perfectly well that I think you should have made 106 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: a lot more money on That movie was a bit 107 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: of a lower budget movie and one that I believe 108 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: now really just has like a cult fall wing. I 109 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: include myself into that colt, but I just think overall 110 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: it's just the perfect movie from start to finish, and 111 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: what he should have just made a lot more money 112 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: on He only made one point five million dollars for 113 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: that role, So one point five million back in twenty eleven. 114 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: Fast forward ten years later, and he's making twenty million 115 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: dollars for one role, which I believe now is pretty 116 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: much the kind of baseline salary for a list star. 117 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: Twenty million dollars is usually what they make. Like at 118 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: the bottom line, if it's a n a list star, 119 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: they're going to be in a movie to lead, they're 120 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: making about twenty million dollars. So so it's crazy to 121 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: see that twenty million dollars still is at number ten 122 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: on the list. So, like I said, streaming is changing 123 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: the way and the amount of money that actors are making. 124 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: So let's get into number nine, which goes to Sandra Bullock, 125 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: who was also making twenty million dollars for The Lost 126 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: City of d which is coming out on Netflix on 127 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: April two. And by now, Sandra Bullock is a household 128 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: name and when it comes to Netflix, I really believe 129 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: she's had the biggest Netflix hit when it comes to movies. 130 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: And I was just saying this the other day that 131 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: Netflix really hasn't had a hit movie in a while, 132 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: but also not even a hit TV series. It's getting 133 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: really competitive out there. But back when bird Box came out, 134 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: that is a movie that I remember everybody watched over 135 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: holiday break when it came out, and it was a 136 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: movie that everybody talked about. Whether you loved or hated it, 137 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: you probably watched that movie on Netflix. You saw all 138 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: the memes. It was just such a big movie that 139 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: Netflix really hasn't recreated with anything they've released so far. 140 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: And they've come at it pretty strong this year with 141 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: releasing a brand new movie every single week, but I 142 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: don't think they've had a major hit that that many 143 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: households have seen, and they kind of skew their numbers 144 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: here and there, of you really only have to watch 145 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: a few minutes of it to count as a household 146 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: watching it. But I think back when bird Box came 147 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: out is the last time Netflix really shined and made 148 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: a movie that everybody wanted to watch. But she also 149 00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: already made a lot of money for that movie, so 150 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: that it's not the movie I picked for her. I 151 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: went back to her role in Speed, where she only 152 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: made five hundred thousand dollars, which she wasn't a major 153 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: movie star when that movie came out. I just still 154 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: think that's crazy to me. Meanwhile, Keanu Reeves, the star 155 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: of the movie, made one point two million dollars. Granted 156 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: he was a bigger name at the time, but I 157 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: feel like without her in that movie, it still wouldn't 158 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: have been as big a hit. So I would go 159 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: back and reward her the money for that one. So 160 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars, I don't think it was enough 161 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: for her role in that movie. I'm glad she's making 162 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: a lot more money now. At number eight on the 163 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: highest paid is Julia Roberts another Netflix movie. This one's 164 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: called Leave the World Behind, and that's coming out next year. 165 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: In two she made twenty five million dollars for that movie, 166 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: and at one point, Julia Roberts was the highest paid 167 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: actress in the world. From the nineteen nineties to the 168 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: early two thousand's, she was just the highest paid actress. 169 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: You had Julia Roberts in a movie, you know it's 170 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: going to make a lot of money, but you gotta 171 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: pay her. And I've admitted before I'm not the biggest 172 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: Julia Robber. It's fan. I like a few of her 173 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: movies here and there, but if she's in something, it 174 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: doesn't really entice me to go and watch the movie. 175 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna sit here and deny how big 176 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: of a movie star and how famous she is. And 177 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: I think for one of her most iconic roles, and 178 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: my favorite movie of hers would be Pretty Woman, came 179 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: out back in nineteen nine, and her fee for that 180 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: movie was only three hundred thousand dollars, and she went 181 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: from that in nineteen ninety, like I said, and went 182 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: on to be the highest paid actress in the world. 183 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: Later in two thousand three, she ended up making twenty 184 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: five million dollars for her role in Mona Lisa Smile, 185 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: and she now has a net worth of two hundred 186 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars. So I think she's doing pretty 187 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: well for herself. I can really see Julia Roberts going 188 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: places still making five million dollars for a movie, So 189 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: she doesn't need my fandom, she doesn't need me to 190 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: support her in any way. She's doing just fine. She 191 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: could trust me with her bank account so my opinion 192 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: does not matter to her. At number seven on the 193 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: list is Jennifer Lawrence, another Netflix movie. We're saying a 194 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: trend here. Netflix is paid out the money. She's in 195 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: a movie called Don't Look Up, which comes out later 196 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: this year on December ten. The movie I'm really excited 197 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: for has a superstar studded cast, so maybe they'll finally 198 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: get that big hit I was talking about that they 199 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: were missing earlier. And she made twenty five million dollars 200 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: for this movie. Jennifer Lawrence at one point was my 201 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: favorite actress, but I don't think she's been anything I 202 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: love since probably Passengers that came out in But a 203 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: movie I think she should have made a lot more 204 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: money on was her breakout role in Winner's Bone. She 205 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: was only paid three thousand dollars per week. Now, she 206 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: had only done really TV before this, she had like 207 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: one movie prior to this role. So granted, as a 208 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: brand new actress, very young, very green, she's not gonna 209 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: make a lot of money, and it's a pretty low 210 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: budget movie. But nonetheless, three thousand dollars per week and 211 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: the movie took twenty four days to film, so she 212 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: made about twelve thousand dollars, give or take. But where 213 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,599 Speaker 1: that pays off is she ended up getting a nomination 214 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: for Best Actress. She did and end up winning, but 215 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: it really kind of put her on the map and 216 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: was able to get more work for having that role. 217 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: And having something like that so early on is great 218 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: for an actor. And although she didn't win that year, 219 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: she did end up winning Best Actress for her portrayal 220 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: of Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook later in twelve and 221 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: she then became the world's highest paid actress in fifteen 222 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: and sixteen, her movies making over six billion dollars worldwide, 223 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: so also did pretty well for herself. And number six 224 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: on the list is Mark Wahlberg, and he got paid 225 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars from Netflix for Spencer Confidential. Now I 226 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: watched that movie. I enjoyed it, thought it was all right. 227 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: I like Mark Wahlberg. I think I watched it mainly 228 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: because they were teasing it as post Malone had like 229 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: a bigger role in that movie, and I'm a huge 230 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: post Malone fan. And I was a little let down 231 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: is that was basically a glorified cameo. But nonetheless I 232 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: watched that movie, did not think Mark Wallword was worth 233 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars in that movie. I like him in 234 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: action movies, which does a lot of but I also 235 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: like the funny, comedic Mark Wahlberg probably the best, followed 236 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: by the more dramatic Mark Wahlberg, which I think he 237 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: can do actually really well. And also overall, I just 238 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: think Mark Wahlberg makes pretty good business decisions when it 239 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: comes to what movies he wants to make, and he's 240 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: been a pretty well off actor for a very long time, 241 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: so I thought it was a little bit hard for 242 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: me to find a movie that I thought he should 243 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: have made more money on. But I went back to 244 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: his role in Boogie Nights, which he was only paid 245 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: one million dollars for, which if you're not familiar with 246 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: Boogie Nights, it's actually on Netflix right now. It came 247 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: out though, and it's about the adult film industry in 248 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: Los Angeles in the seventies, and he was already a 249 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: pretty big movie star at the time when this movie 250 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: came out. He was just famous for being Mark Wahlberg 251 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: at this point. But I think this movie really kind 252 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: of elevated his career, and the movie itself did really well, 253 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: was nominated for three oscars, and he made a million 254 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: dollars for his fifth movie ever, which is really unheard of. 255 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: So that's where we're at so far. I'm gonna get 256 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: into the top five next. And there's one actor who 257 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna put as saying that I think they're overpaid. 258 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: I don't think they should make any more money than 259 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 1: they are currently making. Now there's no movie I can 260 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: pick for them, so we'll do all that next. All right, 261 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: let's get into the top five now. At number five 262 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: is Leonardo DiCaprio. He's also in this movie called Don't 263 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: Look Up that's coming out on Netflix on December ten, 264 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: and he made a little bit more than Jennifer Lawrence, 265 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 1: bringing in thirty million dollars for this role. And I 266 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: would say Leonardo DiCaprio is still one of my top 267 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: five actors of all time, mainly because he's still making 268 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: movies that I want to watch. Anytime I see he's 269 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: putting out a movie, I'm gonna watch it, and I 270 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: would say nine times out of ten I enjoy it. 271 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: And he's also an actor who's been making tons and 272 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: tons of money for decades now at this point. Crazy 273 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: to think he's had a career that's really just been 274 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: going on for so long at such a high level, 275 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: really unheard of. And when you pay this much for Leo, 276 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: you get what you pay for, as in he's going 277 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: to give up performance and really hold nothing back. There 278 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: was a cool clip I saw on tick talk that's 279 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: trending again of Leonardo DiCaprio on the set of Wolf 280 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: of Wall Street. And it's a behind the scenes shot 281 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: of him getting prepared to film a scene and he 282 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: goes from basically having this kind of blank stare on 283 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: his face too as soon as they say action, he 284 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: automatically launches into being this character and portraying the scene 285 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: so well that you just realize he has something in 286 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 1: his brain that other people don't, and he is an 287 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: actor that really becomes the person he is playing and 288 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: he can turn it on like that was a really 289 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: cool thing to see. So again for him, he's been 290 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: making so much money for so long. I had to 291 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: go way back to when he was nineteen years old 292 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: and he was in What's Eating Gilbert Grape And this 293 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: is the only movie I could find that he was 294 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: underpaid on, where he only made seventy five thousand dollars 295 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: for this role, but he also got an Oscar nomination 296 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: for Best Supporting Actors. So again the tradeoff when taking 297 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: a lesser salary. Sometimes it's just the project you believe 298 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: in or one that you know that will probably have 299 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: a lot of success with the critics, success at the 300 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: award shows. So taking a less or amount to do 301 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: the role will end up more beneficial because you get 302 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: invited to the award shows, you get the nominations, and 303 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: you're able to put that on your resume. And the 304 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: only way I can really relate to that is for 305 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: the first couple of years of my career, I was 306 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: an unpaid intern. I did it for two years without 307 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: making any money, but I learned so much during that 308 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: time that it's really more valuable than if I was like, hey, 309 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: I need to make some money doing this, they probably 310 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: would have been like, I don't think we should have 311 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: you around then. So there is some benefit and sometimes 312 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: taking the less amount for the experience and also what 313 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: you get out of it. At number four on the 314 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: list is Denzel Washington. He was paid forty million dollars 315 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: for the movie The Little Things, which is on HBO 316 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: Max Now. It was supposed to come out in theaters, 317 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: but it was at the start of this year during 318 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: the pandemic where movies really weren't coming out yet, so 319 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: Warner Brothers still paid a lot of money to get 320 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: Denzel in this movie. And for me, I think Denzel 321 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: is a little hit or miss these days, but nonetheless 322 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: he is such a big name that he is an 323 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: actor that will get people into the seats to watches movies. 324 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: But my favorite movie of his was Training Day. I 325 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: think just all around a beloved movie by anybody who 326 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: loves anything Denzel has been in. For me, it's more 327 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: so even than Remember the Titans. I just think this 328 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: movie really kind of defines him as an actor. And 329 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: he went so hard in this movie and only made 330 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: twelve million dollars. He did not need to go as 331 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: hard as he did in this movie for that salary, 332 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: and I think that movie would not have been the 333 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: same without him, and he definitely deserved more. So That's 334 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: what I'm going with for Denzel Washington. Moving on now 335 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: to number three is wil smith new movie coming out 336 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: called King Richard, which is about the Williams sisters and 337 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: he plays their dad. Seems like a pretty interesting movie 338 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: that comes out on November nine, and he made forty 339 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: million dollars for that role. And this is another Warner 340 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: Brothers slash HBO Max movie. And again, Will Smith is 341 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: another one of those actors who has been making the 342 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: most for decades now. So I went back to one 343 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: of his movies, which I think is his best work, 344 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: and at a point in his career where he was 345 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: already making like twenty million dollars per movie, so he 346 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: was already at that top level. But he took a 347 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: pay cut to make this movie. And the movie is 348 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: the Pursuit of Happiness, and he did something in this 349 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: movie that you'll see or maybe read about that other 350 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: actors did. And in taking less of a salary, he 351 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: also negotiated a percentage of the film's profits into his contract. 352 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: So that's what they do. Sometimes they're like, all right, 353 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: i'll take less money, but on the back end on 354 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: ticket sales, on DVD sales, sometimes even murch sales. Depending 355 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: on the type of movie, they'll end up making more 356 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: after the fact that the movie comes out, maybe it 357 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: performs better at the box office that they were expecting, 358 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: and if it goes on to be a really big hit, 359 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: they'll end up making money probably for life, kind of 360 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: what Tom Hanks did for Forrest Gump. He took less 361 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: to be the star of that movie, but could probably 362 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: live off what he makes on that movie now and 363 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: that movie alone. So I think Will Smith just gave 364 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: such a powerful performance in this movie. I love the 365 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: more emotional and dramatic side of his acting career. I 366 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: think it's just him and his best and deserved way 367 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: more than ten million dollars. At number two on the 368 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: list is Dwayne the Rock Johnson. He's making fifty million 369 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: dollars for this new Amazon movie called Red One. It's 370 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: like a holiday adventure movie that's coming out soon. And 371 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: it's still crazy to me that Dwayne Johnson. I didn't 372 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: even really call him Dwayne Johnson. I called him the 373 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: Rock because I grew up watching him on wrestling WWF 374 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: at the time, which is now w w E, and 375 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: he was my favorite wrestler. And I remember when he 376 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: first started doing movies, they would kind of do these 377 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: little storylines with him, like behind the scenes, and he'd 378 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: be working on like The Scorpion King, and at the 379 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: time I just thought it was so weird that a 380 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: wrestler would go and be an actor. I didn't really 381 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: realize at the time that they were doing a lot 382 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: of acting on wrestling. I was still a kid. I 383 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: thought it was all real. So he really kind of 384 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: set that mold for people like John Cena to go 385 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: from wrestling to being actors. But he went from being 386 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: one of my favorite wrestlers as a kid to one 387 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: of the most profitable movie starters of all time. And 388 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: a movie I loved of his was a movie back 389 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: and called Pain and Gain, which was loosely based on 390 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: a real story also started Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Mackie 391 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: a k a. The New Captain America. And it was 392 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: a movie done by director Michael Bay who did all 393 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: the Transformers movies, known for his big action explosion movies, 394 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: and he also did like Bad Boys. And this movie 395 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: was done for a pretty low budget of twenty six 396 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: million dollars, which is actually very low for an action movie. 397 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: Now action movies are upboards of two two hundred and 398 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars, so it was a very kind of 399 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: stripped down, less explosions type movie. But I really enjoyed 400 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: this movie, and I thought they were all really great 401 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: in it, and they actually took a pay cut to 402 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: be able to make this movie for such a low 403 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: amount of money. Each of the three actors took a 404 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 1: pay cut, so the Rock made about one to three 405 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: million reported and I just remember the Rock getting super 406 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: jacked for this movie, kind of like he does for 407 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 1: all of his roles now, because they're all dudes who 408 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: are like working this big ring that revolves around a gym, 409 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: so you have to be superject up. And I just 410 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: thought it was a very underrated performance for him, just 411 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: an underrated movie in general, if you're like a good 412 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: fun action movie, and one I think in his list 413 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: of movies that just goes overlooked, So I think it 414 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: should have made a lot more money for that. But 415 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: I am glad that they took less money to get 416 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: that movie made because I really like it. And finally 417 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: at number one on the list, the highest paid actor 418 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: also making fifty million dollars per movie. But the reason 419 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: they made number one is because they are already guaranteed 420 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: this for two movies, and it is Daniel Craig who 421 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: is making fifty million dollars for each Knives Out two 422 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: and three, which he was in one, but now they're 423 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: coming to Netflix, and he's already guaranteed that hundred million dollars, 424 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: so that's why he beat out the Rock and I 425 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: like Knives Out. I liked his performance in that, but 426 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: I gotta say I think he is an overpaid actor. 427 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: At fifty million dollars, I don't think that he's worth that, 428 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: And the role that I found he should have made 429 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: more money on, I didn't find one. He I just 430 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: think he's overpaid. I'm just not a Daniel Craig fan 431 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: at all. I never really got into him as James Bond, 432 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: and I don't think it was his performance specifically in 433 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: Knives Out that really makes me want to watch two 434 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: in three. I think that whole movie is the ensemble cast. 435 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: A lot of that comes from the writing to and 436 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: the overall just mystery of a movie as you're trying 437 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: to figure it out as you're watching it. I think 438 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: that's what made that movie great. I don't think it 439 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: needs him to make fifty million dollars to make two sequels, 440 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: but I think this is Netflix scoring the rights to 441 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: a major movie that people will want to see two 442 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: sequels too, and they knew they needed to keep him 443 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: attached to it to keep people thinking that they're getting 444 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: the same kind of experience from the part one. So 445 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: I don't really like him as an actor, but I 446 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: have mad respect for him to make this amount of 447 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: money and also just really hitting his prime later in 448 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: his career. I just can't say that he should have 449 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: earned more for any of his prior roles to me, 450 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: so in my opinion, I just think he is overrated 451 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: and overpriced. So that's the top ten. Just missing out 452 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: on that was Chris Hemsworth was also making twenty million 453 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: dollars for Forward Love and thunder Rat Pitt is making 454 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars for a new movie called Bullet Train. 455 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan made fifteen million dollars for a movie 456 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: they came out earlier this year on Amazon called Without Remorse. 457 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: Tom Cruz is making thirteen million dollars for Top Gun Maverick, 458 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: and I think that's also him taking a bit of 459 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: a salary reduction to get that movie made. Kiana Reeves 460 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: is making between twelve and fourteen million dollars for the 461 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: Matrix four. Chris Pine is making eleven point five million 462 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: dollars for the Dungeons and Dragons movie. Look at him 463 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: making a lot of money. And finally, Robert Pattinson is 464 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: making three million dollars for The Batman. That is right, 465 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: the Batman. He's only making three million dollars. But again, 466 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people would want to be 467 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: Batman and get paid nothing. But that is the list. 468 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: Hope you enjoyed that breakdown, come back with the movie 469 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: review and a breakdown of the Spider Man trailer. And remember, 470 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: if you think I'm an idiot on any of this stuff, 471 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: you can always tweet me at Mike Destro or send 472 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: me an email movie Mike d at gmail dot com. 473 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 1: How about we get into a movie review now. I 474 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: want to talk about a new comedy on Hulu called 475 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: Vacation Friends, starring Little Ray and John Cena. I haven't 476 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: seen a good comedy in a very long time, and 477 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,239 Speaker 1: I was looking for a laugh. Saw this movie came 478 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: out on Friday, and I was like, all right, I'm 479 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: gonna give it a chance. So before I get into 480 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: whether it was funny or note and my thoughts on 481 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: the movie, here's just a little bit of the trailer. 482 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: Why does the salt not taste salty because it's cocaine? 483 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: What we actually brought it from home? Very very easy. 484 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: If you ever want to try it. It's just a 485 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: zip block in a full shampoo bottle. It's so much 486 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: more comfortable in my head, in my ass. Okay, look, 487 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: we just gotta contain it's only happened because you say 488 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: I said it without meaning it like any decent person. 489 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: What and somehow he's charming my dad looftable four. So 490 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: what this movie is about. It's about this couple who 491 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: goes on vacation to Mexico. The guy played by Little 492 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: Ray has the intention of proposing on this trip and 493 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: it goes a little wrong and they end up meeting 494 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: this other couple who was also there on vacation. It's 495 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: John Cena and his girlfriend and there this were the 496 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: top kind of dizzy, dumb couple doing these ridiculous things 497 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: like smoking a pipe with marijuana while on a jet ski. 498 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: Like that's kind of the comedy of this movie. But 499 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: to hang out in Mexico, have this crazy week together, 500 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: doing these crazy ridiculous things without any intention of remaining 501 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: friends with these people after they get back home, and 502 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: overall this movie is just really kind of awkward. It's 503 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: a little bit cringe e. Just the relationship that you 504 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: were kind of watching go down. I found it hard 505 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: to watch for only those reasons, but that is what 506 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: the movie was trying to do. It was trying to 507 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: create these characters that are so ridiculous and so hard 508 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: to watch that you kind of put yourself into that 509 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: situation of, Hey, if you were on vacation and met 510 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: these crazy people and decided to hang out with him, 511 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: would you ever really want them in your life again? 512 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: So I think they really got John Cena this character 513 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: down pretty well. And it's so hard to make a 514 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 1: comedy right now, and it's harder for me to recommend 515 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: comedies because I feel like in the last ten years 516 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: we haven't had a great comedy. And even if you 517 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: go back to comedies from like the mid two thousands, 518 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: even the nineties, you really couldn't make those kind of 519 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: comedies again. Some of the things that happened in movies 520 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: and made us laugh at that time, we kind of 521 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: go back and realized, Wow, that wasn't actually that funny. 522 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: One of the major movies I think of is like 523 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: American Pie. One of the biggest scenes in that movie 524 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: is probably what we now realized was a crime. You 525 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: can't live stream somebody while they're naked, and that probably 526 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't get made today. So I think it's been harder 527 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: to make a comedy now because you have to be 528 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more conscious of the jokes you're making 529 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: with good reason. But what I found interesting about this 530 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: movie is it kind of took the situation you know, 531 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: comedies are in right now, and turned it in a 532 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: way to where the movie only makes fun of itself, 533 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: which I found was kind of refreshing. They're not making 534 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: fun of any other people outside of this movie. They're 535 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: not reaching for jokes about celebrities or anything like that 536 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: going on in the world. The movie is very a 537 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: self aware and it kind of knows what it is 538 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: and it makes fun of itself, and in the way 539 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: that it's supposed to. It's supposed to be kind of corny, 540 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: kind of cheesy. But if you go into this movie 541 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: by turning off your brain and really just letting yourself 542 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: kind of watch it with the enjoyment of, like I 543 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: just want to laugh, I do think you'll enjoy this movie. 544 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna say the thing I get criticized 545 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: the most on in my reviews is usually comedies and 546 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: horror movies, and I think those are the two hardest 547 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: genres to recommend, because somebody can watch a horror movie 548 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: that I think is scary and they're like, I didn't 549 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: find that scary at all. Sometimes you just don't want 550 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: to be scared, or it's cooler to say that that 551 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: movie didn't scare me at all. In that same way, 552 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: comedies are hard to recommend because what I find funny 553 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: you might not find funny. And sometimes I find little 554 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: dumb things funny on like the way a certain line 555 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: is delivered, and other people might not get that joke 556 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: or they might not find those mannerythms just funny. And 557 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: I did find myself, and I watched it with my 558 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: wife Kelsey, we both find ourselves just laughing watching this movie. 559 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: It was so dumb and ridiculous, but I think it's 560 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: exactly what we needed right now. Is it the funniest 561 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: movie I've ever seen? No? Is it the funniest movie 562 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: I've seen in the last ten years? Probably not either? 563 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: But is it a great movie to watch on movie night? 564 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: Friday night? Hanging out? And you don't want to spend 565 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: two hours watching a movie, or you don't want to 566 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: watch something that you're having to pay attention to every 567 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: single scene following every single plot line. Yes, I think 568 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 1: that is what this movie has made for. And I 569 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: think maybe because it's on Hulu it is rated R. 570 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: But I also feel like Hulu doesn't fully go for 571 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: like HBO, Max or Netflix. While there is some language 572 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: in this one, there's no nudity or anything like that. 573 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: I feel like Hulu kind of holds back when it 574 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: comes to those things still, even though it's on the 575 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: streaming service. So I did find it refreshing in that way. 576 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: I also like the actors. I like Little Ray, who 577 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: you may remember from get Out. I also just saw 578 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: him and Free Guy, which he was really good in, 579 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: probably my favorite part of that movie. And then John Cena, 580 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: who I've actually seen it a lot of things so 581 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: far this year. This is being like the third thing 582 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: I've seen him in from the Sue Side squad in 583 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: F nine, and he's doing probably his most goofy comedic 584 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: role in this movie, probably most comparable to his role 585 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: in Daddy's Home. I don't think he's even close to 586 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: getting on the Rocks level, and I know it kind 587 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: of sucks that I have to compare him to him, 588 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: but that's kind of who the standard is for wrestlers 589 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: turned actors, but I like them, so I just think 590 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: this is a great day night movie. Probably not one 591 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: you can watch with the entire family. I would say 592 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: it kind of borders on the line. It could pass 593 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: for PG thirteen. I've seen PG either teen movies these days. 594 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: They all have sex stuff in him to an extent. 595 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: There's no nudity. Like I said, I guess surprisingly where 596 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: it did go a little hard on with the drug use, 597 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: which was unexpected, but it was funny. And I will 598 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: say when I'm reading this movie, it's on an entirely 599 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: different scale. There's some movies you just want to turn 600 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: your brain off, maybe eat a snack with, and it's 601 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: category of movies that you just define as popcorn movies. 602 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: Not a whole lot of thought has to go into 603 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: making them or enjoying them. And also went into this 604 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: movie with very low expectations. With everything I've been watching recently, 605 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: I just kind of always need that buffer of something 606 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: just funny and mindless, and I think that movie did 607 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: exactly what I was looking for, So for that, I 608 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: have to give it. It's three point five out of 609 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: five Mexican vacations. I don't think it's a movie you 610 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: have to rush and go watch right now. And also, 611 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: if you don't have Hulu, it's not a movie you 612 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: need to get a subscription for. But if you have Hulu, 613 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: you're looking for something to watch at home, You're looking 614 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: for a quick laugh. I do think this one does 615 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: that job, and it's pretty good, and every now and 616 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: then you just need a movie like this. Let's get 617 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: into some movie news now. There's really only one story 618 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: I want to cover, and I want to do it 619 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: pretty in depth. So I want to break down the 620 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: Spider Man No Way Home trailer that came out about 621 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: a week ago now, and I've seen so many kind 622 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: of fan theories about this movie. I've been talking about 623 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: it now for a while, and we finally got the 624 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: first official trailer, and people on the internet are basically 625 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: losing their minds about this, to the point where even 626 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: I got a little bit annoyed on how much people 627 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: are analyzing this trailer. But I'll give you my honest 628 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: thoughts about the trailer what I think is going to 629 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: happen in the movie. But if you haven't seen that yet, 630 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of that trailer. And I 631 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: will say this before I hit play on this trailer. 632 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm not spoiling anything and giving this review of the trailer, 633 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: but Marvel in itself kind of spoiled the last movie 634 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: because there was a major plot that happened at the 635 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: end of this movie where this trailer just takes place 636 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: right after that. So if you haven't seen Spider Man 637 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: Far from Home and you haven't seen this trailer and 638 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: you want to go watch that first again, Marvel did this. 639 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,479 Speaker 1: I didn't do it. They spoiled that ending, so if 640 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: you don't want to hear about that, you can bail 641 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: out now. But at this point, this new trailer is out. 642 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: It's everywhere. That plot point has been revealed, so I 643 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: don't feel like I'm spoiling anything, but to remain a 644 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: spoiler free podcast is giving you that heads up that 645 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: it does ruin that ending, and I guess they did 646 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: that intentionally, but here it is. When mysterio revealed my identity, 647 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: my entire life got screwed up. I was wondering if 648 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: maybe you could make it so that he never did. 649 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: Our world was about to forget that Peter Parker Spider Man. 650 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: Everyone can't. Some people still know. So M James gonna 651 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: forget about everything we've ever been through. Stop tampering with 652 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: the spell. Oh my god, ned, he's my best friend. 653 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: May should really talk? So this movie takes place directly 654 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: after Spider Man Far from Home, which revealed in that trailer. 655 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: The identity of Spider Man as Peter Parker is revealed, 656 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: and the entire world knows who he is, and what 657 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: he's trying to do is go back to a time 658 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: where nobody knew who he was, his identity wasn't revealed, 659 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: and he goes to Dr Strange to do this, and 660 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: in doing this, it kind of messes up the entire world. 661 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: And what's been talked about for so long leading up 662 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: to this trailer and leading up to the plot of 663 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: this movie is that they were going to introduce a 664 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: multiverse of Spider Man, so kind of like they did 665 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: in Spider Man, into the Spider Verse are all these 666 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: different Spider Man's that exist in different worlds. And the 667 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: rumor has been that Toby Maguire, who is in the 668 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: original Spider Man movies, would come back, and also Andrew 669 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: Garfield who was a part of those reboots, and all 670 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: three Spider Man would be in this movie. And there's 671 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: been so much speculation, even more so after the trailer 672 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: came out, leading to believe that this is actually true, 673 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: even though nothing has been confirmed. There's been some speculation 674 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: from some of the actors as far as the people 675 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: who are in this movie, which I'll get into, but 676 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: really it's just people kind of clinging onto that idea, 677 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: and I don't want to just speculate. I could create 678 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: the greatest Spider Man movie by giving these theories. So 679 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the facts based on what's actually 680 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: in the trailer and also the things you can find 681 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: and the credited cast list on IMDb, So these are 682 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: the people actually confirmed for this movie. And just by 683 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: looking at the credits, there is no Toby McGuire or 684 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: Andrew Garfield credited in this movie, but there are some 685 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: interesting ones. And I don't think it's beyond marvel for 686 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,719 Speaker 1: them to reveal later that Andrew Garfield and Toby McGuire 687 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: would be in this They've been known to change scenes 688 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: in the trailers to kind of keep that mystery alive. 689 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: I also just think it would be a kind of 690 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: a bigger thing for them to get people excited about 691 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: this movie to reveal that yes, they are in it, 692 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: but again, they probably don't need that right now. It 693 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: would be more of a kind of triumphant moment for 694 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: cinema if a week out or just when people go 695 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: watch it that you find out that they are in 696 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: the movie. But there are some interesting cast things already 697 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: confirmed for this movie, one being J. K. Simmons, who 698 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: played Jonah Jamison and the original Spider Man is in 699 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: this movie. You see him in the trailer, so in 700 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: that sense, it would make sense they're bringing back somebody 701 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: from the original Spider Man into this one who has 702 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: never been in any of this version of Spider Man. 703 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: Could possibly bring back Toby McGuire. But where it gets 704 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: more interesting is the villains that you see in this trailer. 705 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: I'll play a little clip here where you'll hear a 706 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: laugh from a famous Bill Land and also another villain 707 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: speaking to Peter Parker, Hello, Peter. So what you heard 708 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: in that clip was the Green Goblins laugh. Who William Dafoe, 709 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: who plays the Green Goblin in the original, is confirmed 710 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: for this movie. And also Alfred Molina, who played Doc 711 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: Cock in Spider Man too. You see him on screen here, 712 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: And the speculation that comes is when you heard him 713 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: say hello, Peter. It shows Tom Holland's character, but people 714 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: are saying, how would he know that Tom Holland is 715 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: Spider Man and not Toby maguire's version of Spider Man. 716 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: But also that's a little bit debunked because it was 717 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: revealed to the entire world that he's Spider Man, so 718 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: of course he would know too. But the claim online 719 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: is that what Marvel has done is that a deep 720 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: fake of Tom Holland's face out of what is actually 721 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: Toby McGuire's body, and they were able to link this 722 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: back to a suit that Toby maguire war and Spider Man, 723 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: and Tom Holland is wearing that exact same suit. And 724 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: the other interesting part about this is that Jamie Fox 725 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: is back as a lectro who was the villain in 726 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: one of the Spider Man movies with Andrew Garfield, so 727 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,959 Speaker 1: that could lean way to Andrew Garfield being in this movie. 728 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: But what I think is actually happening is they are 729 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: bringing back all of the villains with the addition of 730 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 1: j K. Simmons is Joanna Jamison, and I just think 731 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: it's Tom Holland having to fight these villains that we've 732 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: all seen before. And what I've learned from the plot 733 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: of seeing this trailer. I don't think it entirely works 734 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: having two other Spider Man fighting in this movie. I 735 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 1: can see the plot of this movie perfectly sustaining itself 736 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 1: without them in it, and I would be really surprised 737 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: if they actually end up being in the movie. I mean, 738 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I think it would be amazing, 739 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: But I just think that's a lot more of a 740 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 1: big accomplishment than people think of just putting these two 741 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: other Spider Man's in this movie. Like, who's to say 742 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,720 Speaker 1: that Toby McGuire would want to do it, that Andrew 743 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 1: Garfiet would even want to do this movie anymore. They 744 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,879 Speaker 1: have since denied claims that they are in this movie. 745 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: Of course, that they were under contract, they couldn't reveal that, 746 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: But I just don't think that they would want to 747 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: go back and portray these roles again. I kind of 748 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: think they were done with it, and they would have 749 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: had to pay them a lot of money to be 750 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: able to do this movie. So I do think people 751 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,720 Speaker 1: online are getting a little bit too excited and creating 752 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: this movie that in no way could meet people's expectations 753 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: of all these theories of like even like Daredevil making 754 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: an appearance of this is, you know, the one they 755 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 1: created on Netflix. So I could go through and add 756 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: all these other kind of fan theories of my own 757 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: that would make this the best movie ever. But I'm 758 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: just going with what the facts are here on paper, 759 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: what's been confirmed and so far, if I had to guess, 760 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: I don't think they're actually going to be in and 761 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: I don't think it really needs them, And as much 762 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,479 Speaker 1: as I would love to see that happen, I don't 763 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: think it will. But if it does, I think that 764 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: moment of all three of them on screen together would 765 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: be a bigger roar in the theaters than that Avengers 766 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: scene where they all kind of reunite. I just think 767 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: that would be amazing to see it take a lot 768 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: to get there, and as Spider Man being my favorite superhero, 769 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: I think that would be awesome. I just don't think 770 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: it's in the cards. But all right, that's gonna do 771 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 1: it for this week's episode. Before I hop out of here. 772 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: Every single week I always give a shout out to 773 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: one of you listening who tweets me or sends me 774 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: a Facebook message or d ms me on Instagram. At 775 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: Mike Destro. But today I'm going over to the email 776 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: inbox movie Mike D at gmail dot com. And this 777 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: email is from Rachel in reference to my thoughts on 778 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: the movie Midsummer and she says, I gotta say I 779 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,959 Speaker 1: was looking forward to watching a very scary horror movie 780 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,439 Speaker 1: film and I hyped this up to my friend because 781 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: I had not seen it, and we sat down to 782 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: watch it together, and I gotta say this movie was 783 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: not scary in any way. I was totally disappointed with 784 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 1: everything in this movie. And I've been a loyal listener 785 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: from the very beginning. I've watched quite a few of 786 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 1: your recommendations, and I just wanted to let you know 787 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: your way off key on this one. Still a fan, 788 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: just wanted to relate the info, Rachel, and I actually 789 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: appreciate that feedback. And like I said a few episodes ago, 790 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: I would much rather get an email like this then 791 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 1: a one star review on Apple Podcasts. And I still 792 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: stand by my review and thoughts on that movie. And 793 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: I was kind of talking about earlier that horror and 794 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: comedy movies are just the hardest to recommend. What I 795 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: find scary, you might not find scary, and that's okay. 796 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: Sorry you didn't end up in doing that movie, but 797 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: glad you are still listening to the podcast. And what 798 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: I always say is you won't always agree with all 799 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: the things I say about movies, and it's all right 800 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: to disagree, and so right to watch something and not 801 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,879 Speaker 1: feel the same way. But that is why we are here, 802 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 1: and we could still be friends even though we don't 803 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: agree on things. That's what we're working towards everybody. But 804 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: appreciate you listening, Appreciate you being subscribed to the podcast. 805 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,399 Speaker 1: If you can tell a friend who also loves movies 806 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: and you think would enjoy this podcast, and until next 807 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: week later
