1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie podcast. I 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. Today we are doing the 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: ultimate desert movie bracket. In the movie review, we're talking 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: about a great new movie on Netflix, which rarely has 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: great movies these days, and when they do, I want 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: to tell you about them. It is Woman of the Hour, 7 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: starring and directed by Anna Kendrick, the first movie she's 8 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: ever directed, and man, this. 9 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 2: Movie will make you sick in the trailer park. 10 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: We'll get away from dark movies and talk about a 11 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: new comedy coming out in January called One of Them 12 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: Days that is very reminiscent of one of my favorite 13 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: nineties comedies. But are we as a country, as a people, 14 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: as moviegoers still embracing comedies. We'll talk about that. Thank 15 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: you for being here, Thank you for being subscribed. Shout 16 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: out to the Monday Morning Movie crew. 17 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: He Now, let's talk movies. 18 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 3: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 19 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 3: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 20 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 3: never before in a movie podcast. 21 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: A man with so much movie knowledge peace. 22 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: Base like a walking IMTB with glasses from the Nashville 23 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 3: Podcast Network. 24 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 2: This is movie Mike's Movie podcast. 25 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: As It's a question I get asked frequently if you 26 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: could only take one movie with you to a desert island, 27 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: which movie would it be? It is so hard to answer. 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: And what I've done, I've compiled a list of twelve 29 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: different movies that I would all individually take on their 30 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: own and I'm going to put them all against each 31 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: other in this bracket. And what do you have to 32 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: consider when thinking about desert island movies? Well, they have 33 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: to be something you never get tired of to have 34 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: rewatchability at this moment. All the movies on this list 35 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: I've seen, I would say a minimum of five times minimum. 36 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: Some of these I've seen upwards of fifty times. But 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: they have to be movies you can't get tired of. 38 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: So obviously, nothing really new is going to be on 39 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: this list, at least not in the last ten years. 40 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: They obviously have to be entertaining. I also believe in 41 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: some cases they have to have a layer of depths, 42 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: because when you think about a movie you're gonna watch 43 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: over and over again, is the only one you have 44 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: in your possession, whether it be a Blu ray, a DVD, 45 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: a VHS, a laser disc or you have an actual 46 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: film reel on a desert island. I don't know how 47 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: you got there. I don't know what technology you have. 48 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: Maybe you just have the file on your phone. But 49 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: it has to be something that you can watch and 50 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: break down different parts that maybe you haven't caught over time. 51 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: So I did include some movies to me, I feel 52 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: a little bit are more complex. Maybe they're not as comforting, 53 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: maybe you have to think a little bit more, But 54 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: I think that is important too, because if I'm on 55 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: a desert island, I don't know how long I'm going 56 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: to be there, and I think it would be good 57 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: to have movies where you could pick up on things 58 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: maybe you didn't see the first time. You could learn 59 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: about things, maybe even discover something about yourself that you 60 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: didn't know by really dissecting this movie. Because if it's 61 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: the one thing you're going to be watching, you're gonna 62 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: be dialed into every level of dialogue, every little camera movement, 63 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: every little concept in that movie is going to become 64 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: your world. So it's kind of like giving your brain 65 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: like a real complex book to read. You're gonna get 66 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: smarter by watching it. Is kind of my ideology on 67 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: some of these picks. It also just has to be 68 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: something that is comforting. And the reason I've rewatched some 69 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: of these movies upwards of fifty times, and I know 70 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: we don't really have this concept anymore, but they'd be 71 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: movies that you would watch on TV at any given 72 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: point and just sit there and continue to watch. We 73 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: don't really have that anymore, and that is dying out 74 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: in today's culture because we have so many options, and 75 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: when you sit down to watch something, you are so 76 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: intentional about it. You get on your streaming service and 77 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: you start looking around, and you go and find and 78 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: start something from the very beginning. 79 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: Very rarely do you hit the heah. 80 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: I'll just play whatever is on TV right now, and 81 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: I have Hulu Live, and sometimes I'll go through and 82 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: see what they are playing on different channels, and I 83 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: never click on those, But I think back, and that 84 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: was how I discovered a lot of movies when I 85 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: was growing up. It just be me on a random Saturday, 86 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: not even with cable, just basic TV watching Mattinees, discovering 87 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: movies and really deciding within the first ten fifteen minutes 88 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: if you're really going to enjoy it and sometimes I 89 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: would sit there and watch movies that I didn't enjoy whatsoever, 90 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: just because it. 91 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: Would be the only thing on. 92 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: We don't really have that anymore, so we're not really 93 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: discovering the movies the same way now. It's just the 94 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: movies that you go back and rewatch when they get 95 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: added to a new service, like Spider Man goes from 96 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: Hulu to Netflix and you're like, oh, it's here now, 97 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: I will give it a watch. Or if you're all 98 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: out of new things to watch, you go back and 99 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: watch those classics. We don't really just stumble on movies 100 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: like that anymore. But let's get into it. In round one, 101 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 1: we have six different matchups. I'll go through, name each movie, 102 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: Name the run time of each movie, because that is 103 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: also important. How much are you getting out of this film? 104 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 1: Because you only have one, I'll give you the two movies. 105 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: I'll make my decision on which one is going to 106 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: move on to round two and which one is going 107 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: to go up in flames. Starting with the first matchup, 108 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: Goodfellas coming in at two hours in thirty two minutes 109 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: versus Heavyweights coming in at one hour and thirty five minutes, 110 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: both nineties classics in their own regard. Goodfellas is an 111 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: all time classic, my favorite Martin Scorsese movie. 112 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: You get everything. 113 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: You get the rise and fall, you get, the drugs, 114 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: you get, the betrayal, you get, murder, you get sex, 115 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: you get all the things that make a movie great. 116 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: So many iconic lines in this movie. Has my favorite 117 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: opening line to a movie of all time. Rayleiota Rip 118 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: gave his best performance in this movie. But then you 119 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: have Robert de Niro, Joe Peshi. Even the movie poster 120 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: itself is iconic. I would wear it on a T shirt, 121 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: I'd throw it up on a poster in my wall. 122 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: Has an amazing soundtrack and is one of the most 123 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: influential movies of the nineties. And it's also at a 124 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: really great runtime of two hours and twenty six minutes. 125 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: It's a movie that, back to that example of earlier, 126 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: you could jump around and catch it at any moment 127 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: and be so intrigued and so engaged because there are 128 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: so many different levels to storytelling and Goodfellas. And on 129 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: the other hand, the reason I decided to include Heavyweights 130 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: on this list is because it is such comforting movie, 131 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies growing up. Because I was 132 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: a chunky kid, and I loved seeing a story about 133 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: other chunky kids and accepting just being yourself even though 134 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: you're not the cool skinny kid, because in Heavyweights, it's 135 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: all the chunky kids that are the cool kids, and 136 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: the skinny weirdos are the losers. And why I decided 137 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: to include Heavyweights is I believe if I'm stuck on 138 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: a desert island, I want something nostalgic. I want something 139 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: that is going to ease the pain of hunger in 140 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: my stomach, make me all. Even though they do eat 141 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: a lot of food in this movie, maybe I didn't 142 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: think that all the way through, but I want something 143 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: to distract me from that, and the power of nostalgia 144 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,799 Speaker 1: to put me back into my young mind and how 145 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: I was when I first watched this movie. 146 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: I think that is powerful. 147 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: Whenever I need any kind of comfort, I just go 148 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: to like mid nineties Nickelodeon, live action Disney movies from 149 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: that time, Animated Disney movies from that time. Anything in 150 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,799 Speaker 1: that genre is instantly. 151 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: Going to put me into a good mood. 152 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: Back when life was still just funny and you experienced 153 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: things and didn't realize how significant that was going to 154 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: affect the rest of your life. So that is why 155 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: I put Heavyweights on this list over any other animated 156 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: or Disney movie. Heavyweights is the movie that does it 157 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: for me. But we gotta look at this matchup here, 158 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: good Fellas versus Heavyweights. I think I made that point 159 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: about I'm gonna be hungry on a desert island. I'll 160 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: probably be surviving off of fish and coconut and random 161 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: plants and berries. And seeing the Heavyweights kids eat Twinkies 162 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: on their pizza, sneaking beef jerky, putting candy inside of 163 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: hollowed out bedposts. I think that's gonna have an effect 164 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: on me. And I also look at Goodfellas with that 165 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: two hour and twenty six run time. That is a 166 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: lot of movie. That's a lot of bang for your buck. 167 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: It's a Martin Scorsese masterpiece. Moving on to round two 168 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: is gonna be good Fellas and sadly going up in 169 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: Flames is gonna be Heavyweights, all right. Next match up 170 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: in round one, The Dark Night at two hours and 171 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: thirty two minutes versus TMNT Secret of the Ooze coming 172 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: in at one hour and thirty minutes, A tight packed 173 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: in ninety minutes The Dark Knight has my favorite opening 174 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: scene to any movie, has a lot of my favorite 175 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: superhero quotes. Ah. That is a movie that just instantly 176 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: sucks you in from that opening scene, and that's why 177 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,679 Speaker 1: I love that movie so much. And since two thousand 178 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: and eight, out of any superhero movie, I think it's 179 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: held up the most because it doesn't even feel dated 180 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: at all to me. That movie is cemented in not 181 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: even two thousand and eight, but just stands apart as 182 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: being one of the best accomplishments from Christopher Nolan oh Man. 183 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: That is a really tough one because on any given day, 184 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: that could be my favorite movie of all time. A 185 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: couple movies battled it out at one and two, and 186 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: if you put a gun to my head, I think 187 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: I would go Dark Knight over everything. But I have 188 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: to think about the Desert Island scenario. And I've already 189 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: seen The Dark Knight so many times. I rewatch it 190 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: at least once a year at this point, sometimes twice 191 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: a year. So it's a movie that I feel does 192 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: have a lot of rewatchability because I've proven it. I've 193 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: done it so many times. But do I need to 194 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: continue to watch it based on the amount of times 195 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: I've already seen it. That is a tough one because 196 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: it is just so great, so perfect. Nothing bad I 197 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: can say about that movie. He's ledger everything about it. 198 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: On the other hand, you have kind of like the 199 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: earlier matchup of the complete opposite of that Secret of 200 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: the Ooze, which is the second TMNT movie ninety Minutes 201 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: of Fun, incredibly nostalgic, my favorite iteration of the Turtles, 202 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: where it's the perfect combination of comedy and then being 203 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: the heroes that we need. But there are some elements 204 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: now as I watch this more and more into my thirties, 205 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: that I feel the movie starts to date itself. Even 206 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: though this was my favorite TMNT movie growing up and 207 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: it instantly puts me back into a good mood. It 208 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: would take my mind away from anything going on in 209 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: this desert island. I could watch it when I wake 210 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: up in the morning to the sounds of waves crashing, 211 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: or it could comfort me at night. 212 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 2: The movie really has it all. Oh. 213 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: I love Shredder and Secret of the Us, but I 214 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: think if I had to go up against the Dark Knight, 215 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: it's really hard to beat it. And even though this 216 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: is one of my favorite movies from my childhood. I 217 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: don't think it could beat The Dark Knight. So The 218 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: Dark Knight, We'll move on to round two, and sadly, 219 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: Secret of the Ooze will go up in flames. Moving 220 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: on now to our next matchup coming in at one 221 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: hour and thirty six minutes from two thousand and nine, 222 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: The Hangover versus coming in at one hour and fifty minutes. 223 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: One of the best movies ever from nineteen ninety four, 224 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: which is a historic year in cinema, Dumb and Dumber 225 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: arguably the two best comedies of each decade, best comedy 226 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: from the nineties, best comedy from the two thousands, and 227 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: The Hangover for the most part, still holds up pretty well. 228 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: Oh the man, there are some jokes in there that 229 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: are very questionable. Even if you go watch the trailer 230 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: for The Hangover, you think, oh man, that word made 231 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: the trailer. But I think it's a representation of the time. 232 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: So I don't feel like we need to go back 233 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: and cancel The Hangover. I think it's better that we 234 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: have grown as people. We know there are certain words 235 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: we can't say to describe people because they are just 236 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: bad words and make you sound like an idiot. So 237 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: I don't think we're in a space of like, oh, 238 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: you can't make comedies anymore because you can't take anything 239 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: negative about anybody because they get their feelings hurt. I 240 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: don't think that is the thing. I just think you 241 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: have to be smarter and you have to advance as people. 242 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: You can't go back to things just said ten years 243 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: ago because they just don't hold up. 244 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: Be better. 245 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: You can be better, and you can still be funny, 246 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: but you have to try a little bit harder. You 247 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: can't be solow brow and get away with it anymore. 248 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: I think the people who say that are just unfunny 249 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: people who want to say these same nasty, vile things 250 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: that you could probably get away with even just back 251 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine. But you gotta get better, 252 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: you gotta get funnier. You have to get more creative 253 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: in your writing, and Hangover kind of proves that if 254 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: you do the same thing over and over again, some 255 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: people are gonna get tired of it anyway. But Hangover 256 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: Part one is one of my favorite comedies of all time. 257 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: I love that entire franchise. I know two a lot 258 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: of people hated. Three was essentially the first part over 259 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: again in just a slightly different way, a little bit 260 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: more intense. Everybody was a little bit more famous, a 261 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: little bit richer, a little bit better looking. But I 262 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: love that entire franchise, and I can sit down and 263 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: watch it as a trilogy anytime. But Dumb and Dumber. 264 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: When I first watched Dumb and Dumber as a kid, 265 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: that changed everything about what I found funny because Jim 266 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: Carrey and Jeff Daniels just feel so animated and cartoon like, 267 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: but it works. 268 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 2: So well their chemistry together. 269 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: All of the gags and jokes and quotes are perfect 270 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: in this movie. So many iconic things come from Dumb 271 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: and Dumber, and even watching it now as an adult, 272 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: I still believe it holds up. And granted, my sense 273 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: of humor at times can be very childlike. Maybe I 274 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: haven't matured a whole lot in that department since my 275 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: twenties or even before that, back in the nineties. But 276 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: this movie is also an hour and fifty minutes, which 277 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: is pretty long for a comedy movie. And nowadays, if 278 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: I watch an hour and fifty comedy movie, it's going 279 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: to feel like an hour and fifty minutes and gonna 280 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: feel like, oh, man, let's get out of here. Dumb 281 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: and Dumber doesn't feel like that. So even though I 282 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: love the Hangover so much, I have to go with 283 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: what I consider to be the best comedy movie ever made. 284 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: Moving on to round two is Dumb and Dumber and 285 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: going up in Flames is the Hangover. 286 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: Oh but it hurts me, Oh, it hurts me. 287 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: Next up in round one, we have Twister coming in 288 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: at one hour and fifty three minutes versus Jurassic Park 289 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: coming in at two hours and two minutes. 290 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: You guys know I love Twister. 291 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: I've had the director of this movie on this podcast 292 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: earlier this year. 293 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: I told them all about how. 294 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: I've seen this movie over fifty times, eh, and I 295 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: think that that's what it's gonna come down to do. 296 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: I need to watch it more because I know this 297 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: movie from the very start, the opening THX sound logo, 298 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: from the very beginning, all the way to the end credits, 299 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: Shine On, Shine On. I know every single lineup, dialogue 300 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: and Twister. It's versus coming in at two hours and 301 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: two minutes. Jurassic Park, which blew my mind as a kid. 302 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: Another movie from nineteen ninety four, which you're gonna see 303 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: a lot on this list, and Jurassic Park, the first 304 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: one is such a big adventure and every single kid 305 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: it is a rite of passage to have a dinosaur phase. 306 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: We all grow up with it. Whether you're a boy 307 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: or a girl, you grow up idolizing and thinking how 308 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: cool dinosaurs are. Steven Spielberg, Oh, combined with his direction 309 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: in this movie and the beautiful John Williams score, those 310 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: magical moments that first time you see the dinosaurs is 311 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: something that is just if I could put that feeling 312 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: in a bottle and open it up whenever I want 313 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: it to to feel it again, that first time you 314 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: see the dinosaurs on screen and hear that score. 315 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: And. 316 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: I would play that clip, but I would go to 317 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: podcast jail. If I could put that in a bottle 318 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: and just open it up when I'm having a bad 319 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: day and be like, oh, that is what I need 320 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: to feel like right now, like an energy drink, like 321 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: a shot of well, I don't want to say drugs. 322 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to encourage that, but something that you 323 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: could just put in your bloodstream to feel better. That 324 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: is the scene I would put into a bottle and 325 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: open it at anytime. Oh but if I'm putting it 326 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: against Twister. I I'm a scene Jurassic Park. Near as 327 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: many times as I've seen Twister, I've probably seen it 328 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: maybe around ten. Twister is over fifty. Now do I 329 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: need to keep watching Twister? The answer is yes, Yes 330 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: I do. Moving on to round two. Is Twister going 331 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: up in Flames? Is Jurassic Park? We have two more 332 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: excuse me there, We have two more matchups in round one, 333 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: Avengers Infinity Ward coming in at two hours and thirty, 334 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: and it's versus Star Wars a New Hope coming in 335 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: at two hours. These are very similar in this matchup, 336 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: and I believe Infinity War is the only MCU movie 337 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: I included on this list because I feel that a 338 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: lot of the MCU movies you need to have all 339 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: of them run together in order to fully appreciate them. 340 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: The thing I love and the thing I don't love 341 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: about the MCU is they're very reliant on all the 342 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: other movies to make them work. You could argue Iron 343 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: Man the first one, maybe the first Guardians of the Galaxy, 344 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: but for the most part, they feel like one big 345 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: timeline that you have to watch the movie before it 346 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: and after it to fully get just even where you 347 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: are in the storyline. But Avengers Infinity War, to me, 348 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: I feel like is a perfect film, even though it 349 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: does lead right into Endgame. I feel is a perfect 350 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: encapsulation of a story that is my favorite in the MCU, 351 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: even with all those Spider Man movies in there. And 352 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: it's also a beefy two hours in thirty minutes. And 353 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: I included this one over Endgame because I feel that, yes, 354 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: Endgame is longer, but I think Infinity War is just 355 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: more exciting. And on the other hand, you have a 356 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: new Hope, which is my favorite Star Wars movie of 357 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 1: all time. It is the big introduction into this world, 358 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: and I feel that my knowledge of Star Wars isn't 359 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: as vast as it should be for somebody with glasses 360 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: this stick. I don't really know a whole lot When 361 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: people talk about like trivia with Star Wars, about all 362 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: these planets, a lot of these side characters. 363 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 2: It is such a big world. 364 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: Even though I've seen these movies so many times, sometimes 365 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: I just can't even name a character. People are talking 366 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: about their favorite characters on TikTok and I'm like, I 367 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: don't even know the name of that person. I can 368 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,239 Speaker 1: recognize them, but I feel like as a nerd, I 369 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,479 Speaker 1: should know more. And if I was on a desert 370 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: island with this movie, I could do that. I could 371 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: study it. I could write down all the character names, 372 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: so it would really feel like I could take a 373 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: deep dive into this movie and become more knowledgeable as 374 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: a result. But if you have to look at entertainment value, 375 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: I would have such a better time rewatching Infinity War 376 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: as of now. I rewatch that and Endgame at least 377 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: once a year, just all together, because it is a 378 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: big investment to watch, like five hours of movies five 379 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: and a half hours. 380 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 2: Oh, that is tough. 381 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: I love the way Infinity War starts, I love the 382 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: way it ends. I think when I put those two together, 383 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: I think over time, Infinity War would just hold up. 384 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 2: A lot better. 385 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: Even though I do believe a New Hope holds up 386 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: the use of practical effects, give or take some scenes 387 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: that are a bit questionable, I still think those practical 388 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: effects hold up. But if I put these two next 389 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: to each other, they're battling it out. I have to 390 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: go with the Avengers, Infinity War moving on, and a 391 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: New Hope going up in Flames Final matchup. In round one, 392 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: we have Back to the Future coming in at one 393 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: hour in fifty six minutes versus Inception coming in at 394 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: two hours and twenty eight minutes. Back to the Future 395 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: is a perfect movie mix to sci fi love story, 396 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: little incest in there. There's a lot going on in 397 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: Back to the Future, but for a movie that is 398 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: two hours, that creates such a big concept and you're 399 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: able to grasp everything and all these characters. That is 400 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: a fantastic feat And I feel like if aliens came 401 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: to our planet and said, you can show me one 402 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: movie to represent what Hollywood is on your planet and 403 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: represent it well, I would show them Back to the 404 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: Future because you get a little bit of everything. I 405 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: think if you were to break down movies by science 406 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: on what is the perfect movie, I think it is 407 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: Back to the Future because not only watching it at home, 408 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: but watching it in a theater environment, it gives you 409 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: everything you want out of that theater experience. You have 410 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,239 Speaker 1: Marty McFly, an iconic character with an iconic look, and 411 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: it's fantastic trilogy, one of the best. 412 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 2: Trilogies of all time. 413 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: But again just focusing on the first one, I. 414 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: Think it is perfection a plus. 415 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: Inception is another Christopher Nolan movie that has made the 416 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: list one of my favorite directors, and I think people 417 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: forget how good that movie is, and it's a movie 418 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: that you don't entirely get the first time you watch it, 419 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: which is the case with the Inception and also the 420 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 1: case with Interstellar. 421 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 2: From Christopher Nolan. 422 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: There are movies you really have to dive into the 423 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: concept about it, and I just rewatch Inception. Shout out 424 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: to night Light Events in Nashville. They host these outdoor 425 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: movie screenings where they have this big, inflatable screen. You 426 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: sit down at this really cool park in Nashville. They 427 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: have food, so you go grab your food and then 428 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: sit on this lawn and watch a movie with big sound, 429 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: with a bunch of people in a really unique environment. 430 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: Kelsey and I went, and she had never seen Inception, 431 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: and I've seen this movie a lot, but even rewatching 432 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: it in that setting, I felt a little bit like 433 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: I was rewatching some parts for the very first time. 434 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: A movie with one of those concepts, you really have 435 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: to think about a dream inside a dream, How do 436 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: you implant a thought into somebody's dream and have them 437 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: believe that they created that thought on their own. I 438 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: didn't really get the first time I watched it all 439 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: the way through. And when you don't fully understand a movie, 440 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: you can mistakenly think like, oh, that's a bad, dumb movie. 441 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: But really you just have to watch it another time, 442 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: and maybe even another time and then go again to 443 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: fully understand what is happening in Inception. And even then 444 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: you can watch it understand it, but there are still 445 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: some things that are left to interpretation. It does have 446 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: an open ending where you can believe one thing or 447 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,239 Speaker 1: you can believe an entirely different thing. It's up to 448 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: you as the viewer to decide what actually you believe 449 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: happened in this reality and in this dream. That is 450 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: why I think it is such a fun, complex movie 451 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: that I would love to have with me on a 452 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: desert island. Oh so there's a lot to dive into there. 453 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: You get about thirty more minutes out of Inception, and 454 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: maybe I could even just learn more about my brain 455 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 1: and lucid dreaming, and I could learn how to do 456 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: inception by watching Inception. Who knows, but back to the 457 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: Future as one of the best eighties movies of whole time. 458 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: That's a tough matchup, but I think I'm gonna have 459 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: to go with the underrated pick here and go with Inception. 460 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: So that is moving on to round two and back 461 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: to the future is going up in flames. Now it 462 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: is time for round two. We'll move a little bit 463 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 1: faster now that I've given you my reasoning on why 464 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: these have even ended up on this list, and we're 465 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: gonna get down into it now. Round two. Goodfellas versus 466 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: The Dark Knight. Ooh, that is a tough matchup. Oh, 467 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: and they're both kind of around the same runtime. Dark 468 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: Knight has about eight minutes on it, But I feel 469 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: like in Goodfellas, there are more storylines to follow, there's 470 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: more character development. I feel like there are also some 471 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: fun moments in Goodfellas because you do have the good 472 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: with the rise. Eventually you have the downfall. You have 473 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: Ray Liotta coked out of his mind making dinner for 474 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: everybody and driving around picking up drugs. So you have 475 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 1: the good in the beginning where everything is awesome, and 476 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: then where his entire life gets ripped away from them. 477 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: And the Dark Knight is arguably it could be one 478 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: of my favorite movies of all time. But I think 479 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: if I were stuck on a desert island. I feel 480 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: like I've already seen The Dark Knight so many times 481 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: that I would want to dive more into Goodfellas. I 482 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: think moving on to the final round is gonna have 483 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: to be Goodfellas and sadly, Oh, I didn't see this coming, 484 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: but the Dark Knight is going up and playing y'all. 485 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: Next matchup, Dumb and Dumber versus Twister. Oh, this could 486 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: be even tougher than Goodfellas versus The Dark Knight because 487 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: both nineties movies. Oh, Dumb and Dumber is so funny 488 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: from beginning to end, and it is longer. But Twister, 489 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: I've seen it fifty times? Do I need to see 490 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: it more? I don't think I've seen Dumb and Dumber 491 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: that many times. I used to have both of these 492 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: movies on VHS, would watch the crap out of these. 493 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: My family as a whole, we all love both of 494 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: these movies, and I would it would take no convincing 495 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: to get them to sit down and watch either of 496 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: these with me. And I guess on this desert island, 497 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: I have to think I'm alone. I don't think Kelsey's 498 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: with me. I don't think I have family or friends 499 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: with me. If I'm alone, do I want to experience 500 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: Twister alone? Or do I want to laugh my butt 501 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: off and escape reality. This is a tough one, y'all. 502 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: And even though I would say I love Twister more, 503 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: if I were ranking it on my favorite movies, it 504 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 1: would rank higher. But I think in this situation on 505 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: a desert island, I would take the comedy over Twister. 506 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: So Dumb and Dummer is moving on to the final round. 507 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: Oh another one. I didn't see this coming up and 508 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: have burned out. I don't even want to say it. Uh, 509 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: Twister is going up in flames, forgive me all. And 510 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 1: the final matchup in round two Avengers Infinity War versus Inception. Somehow, 511 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: this doesn't seem as drastic than in round one. I 512 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: think it is a clear easy winner here. I don't 513 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: even have to debate this one that much. It is 514 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: easily Infinity War an Inception goes up in flames as 515 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: much as I fought for Inception over Back to the Future, 516 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,479 Speaker 1: how quickly it goes down. So now we have the 517 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: final round, and since we just had three winners in 518 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: round two, we're going steel cage match three people only 519 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: one Gets Out of the Steel Cage, Good Fellas, Dumb 520 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: and Dumber, Avengers Infinity War all entirely different movies. You 521 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: have a crime epic drama on one hand, comedy slapstick 522 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: on the other hand, and then you're some freaking nature 523 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: and you have another third hand, you have a superhero 524 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: movie Avengers Infinity War. Automatically, I'm taking out Avengers, and 525 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: oh am, I automatically taking that out. Oh no, I 526 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 1: think automatically I have to take out Goodfellas because if 527 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm on a desert island. Now, I'm just thinking about runtime. 528 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: Oh no, I can't think about runtime. I'm just thinking 529 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: about rewatchability. 530 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 3: Here. 531 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: I think, out of these three movies, I would be 532 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: more inclined to rewatch Infinity War and Dumb and Dumber 533 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: over Goodfellas. I'm thinking of if these movies were on 534 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: the shelf and I was going to grab, I could 535 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: only grab two right now, if I had to save 536 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: one in a situation, the island is on fire, the 537 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: island's oh now, I've because I burn all the other one. 538 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 2: The island's on fire. 539 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: Oh no, the island is on fire, and right now 540 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: I can only grab two of the movies. To save 541 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: in that fire. Good Fellas is going up there. It's 542 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: staying in the fire. I've saved two movies. I have 543 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: Dumb and Dumber in my left hand. I have Avengers 544 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: Infinity War in my right hand. I am running through 545 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: this forest on this island. There are branches falling all 546 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: around me. It is madness. I am all covered and 547 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: just ash. My clothes are all torn up with flame holes. 548 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: I don't even know how I got all these flame holes. 549 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: But now this branch lands on me. Oh no, I'm 550 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: stuck here. I'm gonna burn and I can use one 551 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: hand and one arm to get out of this situation. 552 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: That means I have to let go of the movie 553 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: in that hand to be able to dig myself out. 554 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: Which one am I going to let go of? Dumb 555 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: and Dumber versus Avengers Infinity War. I gotta dig myself out. 556 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: I could feel the flames running down my body. I 557 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: got to get out of here. I can only save 558 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: one movie. That movie is going to be Desert Island Movie. 559 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: Out of all those movies. If I could only save one, 560 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: and rewatch it until I get rest from this island 561 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: that for some reason is now completely on fire. It 562 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: is gonna be dumb and dumber, and Infinity War is 563 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: going up in flames as we speak, and. 564 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 2: I feel really good about that. 565 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: I know the movie is an hour and fifty minutes, 566 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: but you get all the last you get the rewatchability, 567 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: you get that nostalgia too, because even though I don't 568 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: really associate that movie with my childhood, it is just 569 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: one of the best of all time. 570 00:27:58,760 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 2: I feel good about that. 571 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: My Desert Island movie from nineteen ninety four is dumb 572 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: and dumber. Let me know, if you could only have 573 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: one movie to watch on a desert island, what would 574 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: it be? Hit me up on socials at Mike Distro, 575 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: literally everywhere, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook. You can always find all 576 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: the links to my social media in the episode notes. 577 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: Well come back, I'll give my spoiler free review of 578 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: Netflix's Women of the Hour. If you like watching a 579 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: thriller and not leave in your house, then I have 580 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: the movie for you, Women of the Hour on Netflix. 581 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: And anytime Netflix puts out a movie that idem is worthy, 582 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: I want to share it with you guys. 583 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 2: And why do I say it has to be worthy? 584 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: Well, because for the most part I believe Netflix kind 585 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: of Kills movies. For me, I'm a theater guy. I 586 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: have some bias. I still believe that going to the 587 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: theater is the best way to experience a movie, sitting 588 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: in a theater with the big screen, with the sound, 589 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: having the ambiance of the room, taking in a movie 590 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: the way the director and actors intended you to take 591 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: in that movie, which I also know that means is 592 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: because they make the most money off of that experience. 593 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: But I still believe that that is how a movie 594 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: should be taken in. And Netflix, for the most part, 595 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: doesn't really have any big titles. I think the term 596 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: Netflix original really doesn't carry any way to it. A 597 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: Netflix original to me kind of says, oh, I really 598 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't waste my time on this. I should only watch 599 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: this if I have run out of all the old 600 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,959 Speaker 1: episodes of their shows I want to watch, and I 601 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: just need to watch something because I have nothing else. 602 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: That is what Netflix movies kind of feel like to me. 603 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: Although in the last month they've actually put out some 604 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: two two decent movies that I would actually recommend to you, 605 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: and on the top of that list is Woman of 606 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: the Hour. It's stars and is directed by Anna Kendrick. 607 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: This is the first movie she's ever directed. It is 608 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: based on a true story. Now, if you are into 609 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,719 Speaker 1: true crime, I think this is the movie for you. 610 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: And I don't even really consider myself to be someone 611 00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: into true crime. 612 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 2: I don't seek it out. I don't listen to true 613 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 2: crime podcasts. 614 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: I would only recommend you listen to a movie on 615 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: like this movie podcast that's it, don't listen to anything else. 616 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: But I think for me, it feels icky at times 617 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: to be into true crime, especially when it's these people 618 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: covering events that are happening right now, unfolding before our eyes, 619 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: and dealing with people's stories who are still living, and 620 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: you think about how that affects somebody who is maybe 621 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: a survivor of some of these things, a family member, 622 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: a friend, And to have somebody in their basement going 623 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: through all these files and doing podcasts about well, when 624 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: they ripped their guts out, they did it at this location, 625 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: and I dug into family records and found this, Like 626 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: that feels like kind of an invasion of privacy to me, 627 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: and you kind of lose grasp on reality of treating 628 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: people like they're not real people and just treating them 629 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: as subjects. That's why I can't really get into true crime. 630 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: So for the most part, I don't get into it. 631 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: With this story, I wasn't too familiar with. It also 632 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: happened back in the seventies, so at least there's a 633 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: little bit of distance there. But this movie is based 634 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: on a true story about a dating game killer. So 635 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: the movie is based on true events about the serial 636 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: killer named Rodney who went on a dating show, a 637 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: primetime dating show while he was in the midst of 638 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: a killing spree. And on the show, the dating Game, 639 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: you have the woman contestant who is asking questions to 640 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: three dudes standing on the other side of this wall. 641 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: She can't see them, she can only hear their answers. 642 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: She's asking pretty much all these fluffy, puffy questions, trying 643 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: to get to know their personalities. 644 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 2: It's all in good fun. 645 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: Then at the end of the episode, she is supposed 646 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: to pick a guy and they're supposed to go on 647 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: this sponsored trip somewhere sexy. But then it all goes 648 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: crazy because in this actual show there's this serial killer there, 649 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: and in the clips that you can actually watch on YouTube, 650 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: the actual episode of the show has kind of been 651 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: lost to the archive over the years. 652 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: The entirety of. 653 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: It doesn't exist anymore, but there are some clips that 654 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: you can watch. There are some things that Anna Kendrick 655 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: actually based this movie on when portraying real life Rodney, 656 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: And if you go watch these clips, it is so 657 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: creepy to watch because the guy is kind of charming, 658 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: and that is what actually happens with these real life 659 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: serial killer dudes. You think about Ted Bundy and in 660 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: the Zach Effron movie, how they portrayed him to be 661 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: like this really smooth dude with the ladies who had 662 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: some kind of charming good looks, and that's how he 663 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: would bring these women in to think, Oh, I'm so 664 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: disarming to you with my smile. And you see that 665 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: in this dating game show footage he's making jokes. They 666 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: also reference that in the movie he's being charismatic. He 667 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: has a smile on his face the whole time. You 668 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: would not suspect this dude of being a cold blood killer. 669 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: So not only does Anna Kendrick direct this movie, which 670 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: I think she did a fantastic job in her directorial debut, 671 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: and I love me a directorial debut, and I also 672 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: love me actors turned directors because because I feel like 673 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: they have a much deeper appreciation for getting the best 674 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: performances out of their actors, and that is exactly what 675 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: this movie does. And I can already see her really 676 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: unique vision in filmmaking from just an extensive career in 677 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: the industry. But she plays a character named Cheryl, who 678 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: is based on the real person who went on this 679 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: dating show. Now, some of these things they did have 680 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: to make up, however, because the full episode has been 681 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: lost to time. But overall what ends up happening as 682 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: a result to the episode did actually happen. They do 683 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: embellish a little bit the backstory of Cheryl in the movie. 684 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: Anna Kendrick has moved to Los Angeles. She is trying 685 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: to make it as an actor. Not getting any callbacks, 686 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: she goes to this one really creepy audition where the 687 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: guys there are asking her, will would you mind doing 688 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: nude scenes? And she's not open to that and ultimately 689 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: doesn't get the part. So then she gets a call saying, hey, 690 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: we have a TV show for you, and she thinks, Oh, 691 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't even have to audition for this. I already 692 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: got the part, and then finds out it's actually a 693 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,959 Speaker 1: dating show, So not only is it telling you the 694 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: story of this insanely awful serial killer, it's also a 695 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: bit of a commentary on the life of a woman 696 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: trying to make it in Hollywood back in the seventies, 697 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: where if you think how awful it is now of 698 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: people going through these awful, horrendous casting auditions where men 699 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: are absolutely vile saying things to women, you think about 700 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 1: how bad it is now, think about how much worse 701 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: it was back in the seventies, where this stuff was 702 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: just common practice. 703 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 2: People weren't getting called out. 704 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: This is way before the me Too movement, which is 705 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: also what this movie is a commentary on. But man, 706 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: she ultimately doesn't get that part because she doesn't want 707 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: to do a nude scene and these dudes are so 708 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: creepy about it, and she doesn't even really want to 709 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: do the dating show. She's just trying to make it 710 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: in Hollywood, and somebody convinces her that, hey, this will 711 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: give you an opportunity to be seen. Go do the 712 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: dating show. It's easy, and maybe it'll lead to other opportunities. 713 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: Not thinking what is going to happen and who she's 714 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: going to encounter in this show. At all is what 715 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: is waiting for her, and I don't really want to 716 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: reveal all the details of it, even though it is 717 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: based on a true story. They've actually even adapted this 718 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: into a movie before this, but this was before the 719 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 1: me Too movement, So I think that's also why it 720 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: felt like a little bit more of a refreshing take, 721 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: because there are even people in the audience who say, 722 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: I know that guy. I need to talk to somebody 723 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: because I need to warn them about this guy, and 724 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: they don't listen to her. So you have that going 725 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: on as the a plot in this movie. But then 726 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: through flashbacks, you were learning about some of his victims, 727 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:38,879 Speaker 1: and going back to what I was saying earlier about 728 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: sometimes having trouble taking in the details of true crime 729 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: and the morals around telling these types of stories, I 730 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: think that part was actually handled in a really careful 731 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: manner where it wasn't glorifying any other violence, which I 732 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: feel sometimes is what true crime does. They dive into 733 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: all these just crusome details in the podcasts talking about 734 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,479 Speaker 1: it because if it bleeds, it leads, and that whole 735 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 1: thing of like, oh, you got to tell the most 736 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: gruesome parts to get the most reaction out of your audience. 737 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: I don't really think that's what they were trying to do. 738 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: And I got the sense of that from the very 739 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,800 Speaker 1: opening scene of this movie. That really set the tone, 740 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: which this movie is all about tone, because you think 741 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: about having such I don't want to say great premise, 742 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: but a unique premise that is polarizing and going. 743 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,280 Speaker 2: To be interesting to people. 744 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: You can't just give this story to anybody and think, oh, 745 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: this is an instant home run. It is such a 746 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,479 Speaker 1: wild story that no matter how you make this movie, 747 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: it's going to be great. No, it all comes down 748 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: to tone, because if someone else took this exact same 749 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: story but didn't have the tone that Anna Kendrick was 750 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: able to nail down and hone in on, this movie 751 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,280 Speaker 1: would not work the same. 752 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 2: And I absolutely love that. 753 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: One of her biggest inspirations was No Country for Old 754 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: Men by the Cohen Brothers, which is one of my 755 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: favorite movies of all time. It is actually the movie 756 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: that made me want to do what I am doing 757 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: now reviewing movies. When I saw Oh, No Country for 758 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: Old Men in two thousand and seven, my sixteen year 759 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: old brain's mind was completely blown. It made me really 760 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: fall in love with filmmaking and learning about why directors 761 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: do the things that they do. It's like when I 762 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: stopped calling them movies, it started calling them films. I 763 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: thought it was so like sophisticated as a sixteen year old, 764 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: But No Country for Old Men in two thousand and seven, 765 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 1: one of the greatest years in cinema history of all 766 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,439 Speaker 1: time is the movie that did it for me, and 767 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: Anda Kendrick said that was a major inspiration for her. 768 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,479 Speaker 1: That big opening scene in this movie, which a very 769 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: specific thing that I like in movies is when they 770 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: are able to capture, through such beautiful cinematography, a breath 771 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: taking landscape. And I really got the sense of that 772 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 1: even before I knew that No Country for Old Men 773 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: was a inspiration to this opening scene. I felt that 774 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: it is that feeling of seeing the mountains, and if 775 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,760 Speaker 1: done the right way, through that cinematography, through the score, 776 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: I myself can transport myself right into that scene. I 777 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: can smell the air, I can feel the sun on 778 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: my skin, and that is the power of filmmaking to 779 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: be able to put the viewer right into that scene 780 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: and think I can smell the dirt in this situation 781 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: because through this vision and through this scope the director 782 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 1: has put me there. Not only does it set the 783 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: tone visually, but also through the use of violence, which 784 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: if you've seen No Country for Old Men starts with 785 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: a very brutal scene. Anton Sugar is the serial killer 786 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,760 Speaker 1: in that movie, and oh boy, what a sinister character 787 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: who murders all the victims in that movie in such 788 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 1: a unique way that you wouldn't even think about it. 789 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 1: And that is kind of the entire purpose and thought 790 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:50,280 Speaker 1: behind that movie of Tommy Lee Jones being an aging 791 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: character in law enforcement and not being able to comprehend 792 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 1: all these new crazy things these criminals are doing to 793 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: kill people, and the idea of we just go back 794 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: to the good old days where they were just good 795 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: old fashioned crime. So Anna Kendrick sampled directly from that 796 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 1: type of violence by showing you one of the first 797 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: victims in this story in a very raw and not 798 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: in a good way, but it is breathtaking. This movie 799 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: will make you, in a very captivating way, feel very 800 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 1: uneasy and angry at times because of how much you 801 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: hate this serial killer just an awful, awful person. So 802 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: you have a great performance from Anna Kendrick, a fantastic 803 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,800 Speaker 1: job directing, beautiful cinematography. 804 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 2: I love the way that it. 805 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: Weaves between what is going on on the dating game 806 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: show and back into the stories and backstories of all 807 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: the victims without getting too gruesome into all those little details, 808 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 1: like they don't need to over show some of those things. 809 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: It's also what Anna Kendrick decided not to show in 810 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,359 Speaker 1: the movie and where the story allows your brain to go, 811 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: because sometimes that is way more haunting than anything you 812 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: could show on screen. And on top of all of that, 813 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,959 Speaker 1: this movie is only nine minutes long. It is rare 814 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: now to find a movie this captivating under two hours. 815 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: For the most part, the only thing you can get 816 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: for ninety minutes is a comedy. So I love that 817 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: she didn't feel the need to stretch this story out. 818 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: It is a jam packed ninety minutes, little to any 819 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: at all downtime, and I think going back and forth 820 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:23,359 Speaker 1: between timelines and perspectives really helps move this movie along. Again, 821 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,959 Speaker 1: if you're into true crime, I think you will enjoy 822 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: this movie. I think it's one of those that you're 823 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: either gonna love or hate it, but either way, it 824 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 1: is a big home run that Netflix needed for Women 825 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 1: of the Hour. I give it four out of five 826 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 1: potential shooters. 827 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,479 Speaker 3: It's time to head down to movie Mike Treylar Paul 828 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,919 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four has been pretty weak in the comedy 829 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 3: movie department. 830 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: I think the main reason we don't see a whole 831 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 1: lot of comedies these days is they just aren't as 832 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: profitable as they used to be, and studios do not 833 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: want to. 834 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 2: Take that risk. 835 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: Movies as a whole are really bad investments. Just look 836 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,719 Speaker 1: at major movies this year that have cost a ton 837 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: of money and lost a ton of money. But whenever 838 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: you can put out a movie it doesn't cost you 839 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: a whole lot to make and ends up being a 840 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 1: smash at the box office, that is what studios chase. 841 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: And you can have that a lot of times with 842 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 1: a comedy and also a horror movie, because those can 843 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: be made for a relatively low budget based on the 844 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 1: actors you're working with, the premise you're working with, And 845 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: I think that's why those genres are still appealing to streamers. 846 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 2: And big movie studios. 847 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: But comedies in particular are just becoming so so scarce 848 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: that whenever a trailer liked this one I'm about to 849 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: talk about actually drops and looks good it is so 850 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: surprising and refreshing, and I'm like, all right, we're getting 851 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: back to when comedies were good, and that is exactly 852 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: the feeling I had after watching one of them days. 853 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 1: And it's not coming out this year, so we're pretty 854 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: much cutting our losses in comedies for twenty twenty four. 855 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,359 Speaker 1: But it is coming out on January twenty four, twenty 856 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 1: twenty five, so kicking off the year with a good comedy. 857 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: There's one thing I like and one thing I don't 858 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: like about that release date. I love that in January 859 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 1: there are really no expectations for a movie. It is 860 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: what is known in the industry as a dump month, 861 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 1: where studios just kind of throw out a comedy, a 862 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: random horror movie, just seeing. 863 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,479 Speaker 2: What will stick against the wall. 864 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: Because we just got out of the holiday season, We're 865 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 1: pretty much out of the Oscar season by that point. 866 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,720 Speaker 1: People really aren't going to the theater that much early 867 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: in the year. So I was like, all right, we'll 868 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: throw out a comedy that maybe cost us twenty thirty 869 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,720 Speaker 1: forty million, and we'll see what we can make back. 870 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 1: But sometimes you get some really unexpected sleeper hits in January. 871 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: But for the same reason, I like that January release 872 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 1: date is another reason I don't like it, because I 873 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: feel if this movie is actually good, it's gonna get 874 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: bare in the start of the year and nobody is 875 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 1: gonna end up seeing it, and maybe it'll have a 876 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: second life when it goes to streaming. But what is 877 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: going on with this movie? You have Kiki Palmer and 878 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 1: Siza who played two best friends trying to raise money 879 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: for rent. It's an R rated comedy and very rarely 880 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: do I actually laugh while watching a trailer, but this 881 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 1: one got me a bit. There was also kind of 882 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: a cringe worthy moment that I hope is in the 883 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 1: indication of the comedy to come. But this, to me 884 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,359 Speaker 1: feels like a straight ahead comedy. And I'll get into 885 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,400 Speaker 1: more about why I think we don't see those a 886 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: whole lot anymore and what I think so far in 887 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four is actually the biggest comedy. 888 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 2: But before I. 889 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 1: Get into all that, here's just a little bit of 890 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: the One of Them Days trailer. Your boyfriends look our 891 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,280 Speaker 1: rint money and did. 892 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 2: I invested it? 893 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 1: This is our filter. If we don't get the rint 894 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: money by six, we're gonna be on a car with 895 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: fabians now we're gonna. 896 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 2: Make fifteen hundred dollars by six. 897 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 1: Not to mention I got the interview at four. 898 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 2: Don't do it. 899 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: It's a trap. You went alone. If you don't have 900 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: the money this month, you're not gonna have it next month. 901 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 2: R My credit score is currently a little credit score 902 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 2: this month. 903 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 1: You lucky she holding me back. 904 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 2: You're lucky she. 905 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 1: Holds me here. And that part in that trailer is 906 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: actually the moment that got me whenever Kat Williams is 907 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 1: talking about it. If you don't have the money this month, 908 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,600 Speaker 1: you're not gonna have the money for rent next month. 909 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 1: I do like the commentary that this movie has on 910 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,359 Speaker 1: what it's like to be broke, and I haven't really 911 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: seen that illustrated in the movie as of late. I 912 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 1: feel like a lot of comedies don't really focus on 913 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 1: things that affect everyday people. But when you can strike 914 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 1: that cord of what it's like to be broke, not 915 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 1: be able to pay for rent, and also this vicious 916 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,439 Speaker 1: cycle that people who didn't grow up without money don't 917 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: realize is when you're broke, it is hard not to 918 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 1: be broke. It is expensive to be poor sometimes because 919 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 1: in this situation with these two roommates. You have the 920 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,279 Speaker 1: boyfriend who took the rent money and invested it in 921 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: these Gucci shirts, trying to make a quick buck, so 922 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: they don't have money to pay their rent. She has 923 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,759 Speaker 1: a job interview coming up, but has to find a 924 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,320 Speaker 1: way to pay the rent by six pm and still 925 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 1: make that job interview at four pm. But sometimes in 926 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 1: these situations, I've had family members who've had to do this. 927 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: You have to go to these payday loan places that 928 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 1: have atrocious interest rates that in that moment when you 929 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 1: need that money, you don't really care how you get it, 930 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 1: You don't really look at that number. There is a 931 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 1: sign on the place that they go to in this 932 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,319 Speaker 1: movie trailer where you see an astronomical interest rate, And 933 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 1: that is part of that vicious cycle of being broke, 934 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,359 Speaker 1: that you have to borrow some money to make your 935 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: rent now, but then you spend your whole time trying 936 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 1: to pay back that money, and then the rent comes again. 937 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: Because life keeps going on, it keeps piling up and 938 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: up and up, and even though you're working your fingers 939 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: to the bone just trying to get by with things 940 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 1: getting more and more expensive, the costs keep adding up. 941 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 1: The bills are changing colors, and you find yourself in 942 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,799 Speaker 1: a situation like this. So I do think I like 943 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 1: that they're representing this and showing this any movie, even 944 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,320 Speaker 1: though they are approaching it in a really funny way, 945 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: but also kind of bringing to light on what a 946 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 1: lot of people go through. And I think sometimes that 947 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,600 Speaker 1: people gloss over that fact that just because you're broke 948 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're not working hard. I think sometimes the 949 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,799 Speaker 1: system is just set up to keep broke people broke, 950 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,719 Speaker 1: and that's not good. Something has to change there. But 951 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 1: I digress on that rant because this is a comedy 952 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 1: we are talking about here, but also in this cast 953 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 1: you have Lil Rel, who makes any comedy better. You 954 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,319 Speaker 1: also have maud Apatow, which was a cameo I was 955 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 1: not expecting in this trailer, but really I want to 956 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 1: see more Kat Williams. I think he is hilarious. It 957 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,760 Speaker 1: is very rare to get just a straight ahead comedy 958 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,720 Speaker 1: like this, because I think something that the comedy genre 959 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 1: has suffered is you can't just be a comedy anymore. 960 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,799 Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is movies back in 961 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 1: the nineties and two thousands could just be straight ahead comedies. 962 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: And I think what has been the downfall of comedies 963 00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,919 Speaker 1: is we have become more critical of what we find 964 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 1: funny because through the Internet we've been exposed to things 965 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: that are quicker and funnier, and we could get on 966 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,560 Speaker 1: TikTok for ten to fifteen minutes and find a lot 967 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 1: of funny things back to back that get straight to 968 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 1: the point that sometimes is hard to translate back into 969 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 1: a movie. So I feel that the comedies as of 970 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 1: late that have been successful have also been something else. 971 00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,800 Speaker 1: It's been a comedy sci fi, it's been a comedy horror, 972 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 1: which has seen a lot of success when something is 973 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,680 Speaker 1: scary but also fun and campy and out the root 974 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 1: of it still has horror elements, but you don't really 975 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 1: go into it expecting to be scared. It's one of 976 00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,280 Speaker 1: those Hey, let's take some friends and go watch something 977 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 1: silly and watch people be bloody with each other. And 978 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,839 Speaker 1: I think what was the biggest comedy of the year 979 00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,879 Speaker 1: was Deadpool in Wolverine, which is a superhero movie at 980 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 1: its core, but if you look at that in the 981 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,319 Speaker 1: grand scope, it is a comedy movie. The amount of 982 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,400 Speaker 1: jokes and gags throughout that entire film is all comedy 983 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 1: that is what the Deadpole character has created. So in 984 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 1: order to have a successful comedy this year, you had 985 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 1: to have the big, expensive budget, this incredible cast with 986 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:09,839 Speaker 1: all these star studded cameos to make a relevant comedy, which, 987 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,279 Speaker 1: by the way, Deadpool and Wolverine will be streaming on 988 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,240 Speaker 1: Disney Plus starting Tuesday, November fourteenth. So I am excited 989 00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 1: to go back and watch that and catch some things 990 00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,320 Speaker 1: I didn't catch in theaters. But back to this movie, 991 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,759 Speaker 1: it feels like to me, Keki Palmer and Sisa are 992 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 1: gonna have amazing chemistry. I'm not sure if the first 993 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 1: time they met was on Saturday Night Live back when 994 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 1: Keiki hosted it in twenty twenty two and Sisa was 995 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: the musical guest. Maybe that was the start of it. 996 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 1: Because Sissa is still relatively new to the acting game 997 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 1: and Keki Palmer is coming off movies like Nope and Hustlers. 998 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,440 Speaker 1: She's about to be in a new heist comedy called 999 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: The Pickup with Eddie Murphy and also a movie directed 1000 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 1: by Asi's I'm Sorry called Good Fortune that also stars 1001 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 1: Seth Rogen and Keanu Reeves. So she is crushing it 1002 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 1: right now, and I think the two of them together 1003 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,600 Speaker 1: just makes sense and looks funny. The premise of this 1004 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: movie really reminds me of the first Friday movie, which 1005 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 1: those characters had a similar situation where Smokey and Craig 1006 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 1: got into some trouble because they smoked on their own 1007 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,720 Speaker 1: supply and then owed Big Worm a lot of money. 1008 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,279 Speaker 1: Had to pay them back by the end of that 1009 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 1: Friday otherwise they were gonna get killed, which it also 1010 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 1: looks like in this trailer at one point somebody is 1011 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 1: going to murder them as well, So maybe they did 1012 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: borrow a little bit from Friday. Just looking at the 1013 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,359 Speaker 1: beats of this story from the trailer, it does look 1014 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: like it's going to be a little bit predictable, but 1015 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 1: I'm not mad at that. The only part that was 1016 00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: a little bit cringe worthy to me was whenever there's 1017 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 1: a scene of Sizza trying to get these air Jordans 1018 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,240 Speaker 1: off of the power line and she ends up getting shocked. 1019 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,879 Speaker 1: The CGI in that scene looked really suspect, and her 1020 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 1: falling on Keki Palmer's character. That entire sequence just didn't 1021 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,719 Speaker 1: really flow together to me, and I have to hope 1022 00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: that the only reason they included that in the trailer 1023 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 1: is because maybe it was one of the bigger stunts, 1024 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,399 Speaker 1: one of the more expensive scenes, and they're like, Okay, 1025 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 1: we got to showcase this moment because it's so wacky 1026 00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,120 Speaker 1: and outlandish. Which, speaking of Friday, I did see, I 1027 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 1: keeps say that Friday four has finally got some traction 1028 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,799 Speaker 1: with Warner Brothers. They're apparently working on something, even though 1029 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 1: he was trying to just get the rights back to 1030 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 1: Friday and make the movie on its own. As much 1031 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,279 Speaker 1: as I love that franchise, I think with you have 1032 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 1: three of a movie and it's kind of fizzled out, 1033 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,239 Speaker 1: and really it's only that will they or won't they 1034 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,480 Speaker 1: make another movie? Nobody really cares to see it. I 1035 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,080 Speaker 1: think at this point you kind of move on because 1036 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,399 Speaker 1: it's never gonna live up to the expectations. We can 1037 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: bank on the nostalgia of the movies we already grew 1038 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 1: up with and love, but I really don't need to 1039 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 1: see a Friday four. I even see that the Wayne's 1040 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 1: brothers are bad going to do another scary movie, and 1041 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 1: that is kind of the same deal, although a little 1042 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,919 Speaker 1: different with their situation because they were involved in one 1043 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,520 Speaker 1: and two and then we're not involved in any of 1044 00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 1: the other scary movies, and those first two movies were 1045 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 1: hilarious at a time that I felt parody movies were 1046 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 1: still relevant. I don't really think another scary movie, even 1047 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,880 Speaker 1: with the Waynes Brothers back at the Helm, would be 1048 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,040 Speaker 1: successful now. And it's harder and harder to do a 1049 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:09,360 Speaker 1: parody like that in a movie because you have to 1050 00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 1: assume that everybody has seen all the things that you're 1051 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,479 Speaker 1: gonna poke fun at. And I think in the world 1052 00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 1: that we live in today, not everybody is watching all 1053 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:23,040 Speaker 1: the same movies, much less the same TV shows, So 1054 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,839 Speaker 1: it's gonna be harder making jokes about things when some 1055 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 1: people just. 1056 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 2: Aren't going to get it. 1057 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 1: It is wild that I saw this old footage on 1058 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,840 Speaker 1: TikTok of people in the nineties talking about their favorite movies, 1059 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,799 Speaker 1: and it was like in maybe ninety nine, and everybody 1060 00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,280 Speaker 1: talked about movies that had come out in the last 1061 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 1: two years. If you were to make that same video 1062 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 1: today in twenty twenty four and ask people their favorite movies, 1063 00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 1: I have to imagine that maybe ten to fifteen percent 1064 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 1: would actually mention a movie that came out this year 1065 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 1: or in the last two years. A lot of people 1066 00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,239 Speaker 1: would talk about movies that came out back in the 1067 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 1: nineties and early two thousands and movies they grew up with. 1068 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,320 Speaker 1: So if you think about that and how we consume 1069 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 1: media now and trying to make a movie based on 1070 00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:13,320 Speaker 1: the fact that everybody has seen these most recent horror 1071 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,479 Speaker 1: movies like they did back in the first scary movies 1072 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,120 Speaker 1: where they were making fun of things happening in that 1073 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:20,800 Speaker 1: era of filmmaking. 1074 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:21,760 Speaker 2: I don't think that'll work today. 1075 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 1: So that's an snl skit at best, but I am 1076 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,439 Speaker 1: hopeful about one of them days again. It is coming 1077 00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,399 Speaker 1: out on January twenty fourth, twenty twenty five at that. 1078 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:35,240 Speaker 2: Bar is this week's edition of Movie Mind Framer Bar. 1079 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,640 Speaker 1: And that is going to do it for another episode 1080 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,919 Speaker 1: here of the podcast. But before I go, I gotta 1081 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 1: give my listeners shout out of the week this week, 1082 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: I'm going over to Instagram dig it in my DMS. 1083 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,920 Speaker 1: This week's listeners shout out goes to Katie. Katie sent 1084 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,279 Speaker 1: me a message because I posted a video last week 1085 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 1: of my review of Venom the Last Stance and said, 1086 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,319 Speaker 1: you have changed my mind about going. I will save 1087 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 1: my free movie ticket for a different movie. I was 1088 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,480 Speaker 1: so disappointed with Venom the Last Dance. I stand by 1089 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 1: my one point five at a five rating, and whenever 1090 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,080 Speaker 1: I don't like something, I do try to tell you 1091 00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,719 Speaker 1: who would enjoy that movie and what maybe some elements 1092 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,200 Speaker 1: that I didn't like personally that other people would like. 1093 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 1: I never want to drag something for the sake of 1094 00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 1: dragging it, knowing that this movie could be for somebody. 1095 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,600 Speaker 1: But there were very few details in Venom the Last 1096 00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,319 Speaker 1: Dance that I could really see anybody enjoying. So it's 1097 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,520 Speaker 1: one I wouldn't recommend going to see in theaters. But 1098 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,879 Speaker 1: if you have seen one, have seen two, and don't 1099 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 1: want to waste your money, just wait till it goes 1100 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,600 Speaker 1: to streaming. So thank you for that message, Katie. It 1101 00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 1: means a lot to me when people say, hey, I 1102 00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,239 Speaker 1: went to go see or didn't go see a movie 1103 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 1: based on your review, because I do take pride in 1104 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,680 Speaker 1: having fair and balanced reviews, even though I know I'm 1105 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 1: ridiculous at times. But if I can save you time, save. 1106 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 2: You money, that is why I do this podcast. 1107 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 1: So thank you for being here, thank you for being subscribed, 1108 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,760 Speaker 1: and until next time, go out and watch good movies 1109 00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,839 Speaker 1: and I will talk to you later.
