A man with so 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,959 Speaker 1: much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking on mt 18 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: which glasses From the Nashville Podcast Networking Movie Movie Podcast. 19 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: All right, we're in part two of this series talking 20 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: about summer blockbusters. We did part well in the last 21 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: month with the biggest blockbusters of the twenty tents, and 22 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: today we're doing the two thousands, which I feel are 23 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: kind of having a resurgence right now. A lot of 24 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: two thousands pop culture is popular again, and I feel 25 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: like these are always kind of my comfort movies, Like 26 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: the two thousands is really where I feel like identified 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: what I was going to like as a movie fan, 28 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: because I was like a teenager throughout the most of 29 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: the two thousand, So a lot of these movies kind 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: of built my foundation of what I like today. So 31 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: I think going through this list of seeing the biggest 32 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: summer movies will kind of be a good snapshot of that. 33 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: So what we're gonna do is, I will give you 34 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: three movies from a year in the early two thousands, 35 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: and you tell me which one you think made the 36 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: most at the box office? All right? Got it? Starting 37 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: first with the year two thousand making the most at 38 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: the box office? Was it Gladiator, Mission Impossible To or 39 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: The Perfect Storm? Which one do you think made the 40 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: most money? Mission Impossible To come in? At number three 41 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,639 Speaker 1: was The Perfect Store making one two million. At number 42 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: two was Gladiator making one and eighty six million dollars, 43 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: And that number one was Mission impossible to making two 44 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen million dollars that year, and since inflation 45 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: is a bit of a thing that we're all talking 46 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: about right now, you want to know how much you 47 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: would have made accounting for inflation three and sixty million dollars, 48 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: So still pretty good. I never really got into the 49 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: Mission Impossible movies. You don't like Tom Curse, Yeah, but 50 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: that kind of went away when we watched Top Gun two. 51 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: I was able to separate my pre existing feelings for him. 52 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: About him, I guess I feel like in that one, 53 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: he's like almost the furthest he is from himself. I 54 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: don't know, it feels kind of like a cartoon character 55 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: in that movie. To me, I just think him as 56 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: an action star in that type of role I don't 57 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: buy into. So he's not my brand of action star. 58 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: And watching him on screen running and doing kind of 59 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: deifying things isn't isn't what I really go to when 60 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: I want to watch an action movie. So I never 61 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: really got into them overall, kind of in the same 62 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: vein of me never really getting into the James Bond movies. 63 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: I feel like some people, these are your favorite movies, 64 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: but for me, not really what I'm into moving on 65 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: now to the year two thousand one. This was a 66 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: great year for movies at the box office that summer. 67 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: Which movie do you think made the most money? Shrek, 68 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: Rush Hour two or The Mummy Returns. I'm gonna go 69 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: Rush Hour too. But Shrek was great. But I don't 70 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: know if people realized Shrek's greatness right away. That's a 71 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: good point. It did dominate DVD sales. Did it do 72 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: the same at the box office? I had the DVD 73 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: for sure of Shrek. I think everybody did. There was one. 74 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it was Shrek To where it had like karaoke 75 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: on the bonus DVD. Yeah. I don't think people realize 76 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: the impact that Shrek had on America. It's a great 77 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: I miss DVDs with like bonus content, okay, and DVD 78 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: menus getting sidetracked. Okay, I'm gonna go with Rush Hour too. 79 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: Coming in at number three is The Mummy Returns making 80 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: two two millillion. Coming in at number two is Rush 81 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: Hour to making two and twenty six million. But not 82 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: that far away was Shrek with two hundred and sixties 83 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: seven million. Pretty close, pretty close. Adjusted for inflation, Shrek 84 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: would have made four hundred and twenty six million dollars. 85 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: I think when so we see you by that number, 86 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: that Shrek did also have an impact at the box office. 87 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: But I think Shrek really benefited from DVD sales. I 88 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: remember watching that movie so much in school, and I 89 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: think it was because of the accessibility of DVDs in 90 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: those early two thousand's. The most mind blowing thing for 91 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: me was he didn't have to fast forward. You could 92 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: pick it up at any point. I just remember scene 93 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: selection being mind blowing of like, I can just pick 94 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: it up wherever I want. I can click to this 95 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: scene and not have to fast forward or rewind or 96 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: not have to do the tracking thing. Did you ever 97 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: experience the tracking thing? Probably when you put in a 98 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: VHS and it would be kind of fuzzy, so you'd 99 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: have to mess with the tracking to get the picture 100 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: like fine in tune. I made my mom deal with 101 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: the VHS more like I would just put them in. 102 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: I don't feel like I was old enough to like 103 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: because DVD started to come out, like when I was 104 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: putting movies on for myself. I also saw a TikTok 105 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: earlier about how like the peak excitement of a road 106 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: trip was like getting your like portable DVD players set 107 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: up or like the DVD player in a car, and 108 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: I'm like, those were the days when you had like 109 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: a DVD player in the car. I wanted one so bad, 110 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: like built into our car. I think my parents had one. 111 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: They had one when they had my younger brother, um, 112 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: and so we would watch a lot of Elmo in 113 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: the car. I haven't thought about portable DVD players in 114 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: a very long time. Yeah, well this was built in, 115 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, I had a portable DVD player and that 116 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: thing was Chef's kiss. Those I've had, like a really 117 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: low budget one I think I got from the Dollar Store, 118 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: which didn't work well. The screen resolution was terrible, it 119 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: had zero battery live but I remember how groundbreaking that 120 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: was and how luxurious it failed to take movies with 121 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: you anywhere. I remember goinging on our yearly vacation, not 122 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: even a vacation, but going from Texas to Mexico. Was 123 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: that really wasn't really a vacation, but I remember a 124 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: big part of that was taking the portable DVD player 125 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: and then getting bootleg DVDs in Mexico, which they were 126 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: usually like screen records, like somebody going in with the 127 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: video camera and filming the movie. Either that or they 128 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: were just entirely in Spanish, which was fine for me. 129 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: I think I watched I remember watching the movie Gothica 130 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: with Halle Berry in Spanish. I remember watching Spider Man 131 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: two in Spanish. There's the first time I ever portable 132 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: DVD players in the early two thousand that totally forgot 133 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: about that. It was a nostalgic throwback. I think I 134 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: watched Shrek a lot, which is also how that ties 135 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: on track a lot in the car. I think I 136 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: had the DVD menu memorized for Shrek. Moving on now 137 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: to the year two thousand and two, which movie you 138 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: think made the most at the box office? Was it Signs, 139 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: Star Wars Episode two, Attack of the Clones, or Spider Man? 140 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: All says in the category two thousand and two, either 141 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: Star Wars or Spider Man. I'm gonna go with Spidy 142 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: going with Spider Man, all right, we'll lock that one in. 143 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 1: At number three was Signs, making two hundred and twenty 144 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: seven million. At number two was Star Wars Episode two 145 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: and making three and two million, and a number one 146 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: was Spider Man, making four hundred and three million dollars 147 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: adjusted for inflation, that would be six hundred and twenty 148 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: six million dollars, which is pretty comparable to Marvel movies now. 149 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: But at this time there were nothing like what they 150 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: are now. I really think Spider Man was the one 151 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: that laid the groundwork for them to be kind of 152 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: more accepted in the mainstream tour. They weren't just the 153 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: comic bookie movies from the nineties like the Batman movies. 154 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: They were said more. They had just a more realistic tone. 155 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: If it wouldn't have been for the Spider Man movies, 156 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: I don't think we would have got Dark Night, and 157 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: we definitely wouldn't have any of the iterations of Marvel 158 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: characters now. I think that was largely due to Spider 159 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: Man and also x end which I feel doesn't get 160 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: enough credit that it deserves. Even though a lot of 161 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: those movies weren't the best, I think just the characters 162 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: in those dynamics in those movies were kind of set 163 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: the groundwork for everybody. So you're two thousand and two 164 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: pretty solid. I also really love Signs, and I think 165 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: that's the perfect example of how to make a monster 166 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: or horror movie where you don't see the actual monster 167 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: that often, and just that one scene of the alien 168 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 1: walking across the screen for like a very brief moment 169 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: was one of the scariest things I've ever experienced in 170 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: the two thousand's in a horror movie. And I think 171 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: it was all because you hardly see the aliens in 172 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: that movie, and for that reason alone, I've never seen 173 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: something alright. Moving on now to the year two thousand 174 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: and three, Which movie made the most at the box office? 175 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: Was it Finding Nemo, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Curse 176 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: of the Black Pearl, or was it Matrix Reloaded? Pirates 177 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: of the Caribbean coming in at number three? Was the 178 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: Matrix Reloaded making two and eighty one million dollars of 179 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: the box office? At number two was Pirate of the 180 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: Caribbean making three five million dollars, And at number one 181 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: three and eighty million dollars is Finding Nemo? Adjusted for inflation, 182 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: that would be five and fifty four million. You remember 183 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: what we learned in the last time we did this, cartoons, 184 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: don't outroll the cartoon. See finding Nemo in my heart 185 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: was the answer, But I feel like I remember and 186 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: maybe it was later as the Pirates franchise gained traction 187 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: that it always made so much money. Fun fact, never 188 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: seen an entire Pirates of the Caribbean movie. And I 189 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: don't say that as like a superiority of like I've 190 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: never seen this moment in pop culture. I just don't 191 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: really like Johnny Depp and I don't care for Pirates. 192 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprised at how popular those movies were. 193 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: I get the scale of them of like, oh, it's 194 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: a big, fun pirate adventure movie, but the actual like 195 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: storyline in those movies, I don't see how they made 196 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: so many and how they continued to make as much 197 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: money as they did. I just never and I mean, 198 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: you know me now, I'll go see anything. Never had 199 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: a desire to sit down and watch one like I 200 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: think if they were even out now and the options 201 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: were like stay home and do nothing or go see 202 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: parts of the Caribbean, I would stay Tuesday home and 203 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: do nothing. I think there was just an odd infatuation 204 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: with Pirates into two thousand's. I remember having kind of 205 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: a thing for the Pirates, and you had a thing 206 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: for pirates, I did, I remember. I think my first 207 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: band was named the Apple Pirates, and I remember just 208 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: the Pirate imagery kind of being interesting and fun to me, 209 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: wearing like schooling crossbones, that kind of idea was something 210 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: I was into. So maybe that just coincided with the 211 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: early two thousands. Did you get those crossbones at Hot 212 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: Topic with your train wallet? I think I got it 213 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: at Walmart. All right, we'll move on now to the 214 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: year two thousand and four. We have some sequels here, 215 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: was it Shrek to Spider Man two? Or Harry Potter 216 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: and the Prisoner of Azkaban. This is a very hard one. 217 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: These are all just monster movies. Which one do you 218 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: think made the most? Harry Potter coming in at number 219 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: three is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban made 220 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: two forty nine million dollars. At number two is Spider 221 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: Man Too, making three hundred and seventy three million dollars, 222 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: and then Shrek two at number one, making four hundred 223 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: and forty one million dollars. Adjusted for inflation, that would 224 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: be six hundred and forty It's at this time where 225 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: Shrek was at the height of its popularity. Did so 226 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: well with the first one at the box office, which 227 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: we saw earlier, crushed it in DVD sales. I think 228 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: if nothing else is Dethroned. It is the number one 229 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: grossing DVD of all time. But those movies were just 230 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: so impactful everybody freaking watched them. I feel like parents 231 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: could enjoy it because the humor was like almost like 232 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: an adult level humor for some things. That was like 233 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: the first time I remember an animated movie putting in 234 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: jokes for adults, maybe even some a little bit questionable. Yeah, 235 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: could you put that in a kids movie? Like the 236 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 1: Innuendows and you're gonna say the innuendo? It's like I 237 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: think constantly about the Welcome to Dulok song where it's like, 238 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: please stay off with the grass wire face or Donkey 239 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: hooking up with the dragon and having little dragon donkey babies. Yeah, 240 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,599 Speaker 1: that was it went there. Questionable. So that is the 241 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: year two thousand and four. Moving on now to two 242 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: thousand and five, which I thought was a great year 243 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: in movies. You've said that about every single one of these, 244 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: just like every year beside every year besides and maybe 245 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: was a great year for movies. And the two thousand's, 246 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: if I had to pick one, will be two thousand seven. 247 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: We'll get too later. But I distinctly remember a lot 248 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: of DVDs that came out in two thousand and five, 249 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: so on that list, and some are blockbusters we have 250 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: or The World's Wedding Crashers or Star Wars Episode three, 251 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: Revenge of the Sith. Which one do you think made 252 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: the most? I feel like not Star Wars, because I 253 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: feel like people started to kind of come after these 254 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: started to go downhill by two thousand and five. Okay, 255 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: Wedding Crashers or War of the World's That was Tom Cruise, 256 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: right correct, I'm gonna go World the World. War of 257 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: the World's coming in at number three was Wedding Crashers 258 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: making two nine million, making two hundred and thirty four million. 259 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: At number two was or the World's and then at 260 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: number one was Star Wars Episode three, making three and 261 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: eighty million dollars or today would be five hundred and 262 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: thirty four million dollars. The thing I remember most about 263 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: the Star Wars movies this trilogy was all the promotion, 264 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: which I think was the majority of how memorable those 265 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: movies were. I remember them doing promotions with Taco Bell, 266 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: and my mom worked the Taco Bell so she would 267 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: bring home like the Star Wars cups, and I remember 268 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: thinking jar Jar Binks was going to be a great 269 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: character and he wasn't, and this whole kind of reintroduction 270 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: of Star Wars just not being the greatest. I think 271 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: it's having a moment now because it's been twenty years 272 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: since these movies came out that people go back and 273 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: kind of I feel like it's more of a nostalgic 274 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: thing of like those characters now getting their time and 275 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: being cool again. But other than that, I don't really 276 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: love these movie movies. I still get confused about the 277 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: sequence because it wasn't the first ones that came out 278 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: Episodes four or five and six, Yes, and then we 279 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: did one two three, So one, two and three were 280 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: a prequel to four or five and six which came 281 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: out in the seventies. Like my brain, like George Lucas, brilliant. 282 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: I don't get it, but brilliant. Yeah. It was an 283 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: entire vision that if these movies would have been more 284 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: well received, I think would have been completely genius. But 285 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: still it's an ambitious thing. Yeah. Moving on now to 286 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: the year two thousand and six. Was it Pirates of 287 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: the Caribbean, dead Man's Chest, Cars or X Men The 288 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: Last Stand? Which one made the most at the box office, 289 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: and I'm between Cars and Pirates of the Caribbean. I'm 290 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: gonna go cars and watch It'll be Pirates of the 291 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: Caribbean this time, but I'll go Car's final answer well, 292 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: coming in at number three is X Men The Last 293 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: Dan making two and thirty four million dollars. Making ten 294 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: million more is Cars. Sang it. See this is why 295 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: in school I would always I had to trust my 296 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: first gut. You gotta go with the gut. But at 297 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: number one, prior to the Caribbean dead Man's Chest making 298 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty three or now, that would be 299 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: five hundred and eighty two million dollars two million too 300 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: much if you think about that way. Yeah, yeah, I'm 301 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: surprised Cars didn't make more than that. I feel like 302 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: they made more off of merchandise sales over the years 303 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: because every kid wanted a Lightning the Queen bed. Yeah, 304 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: I think they almost made that movie for the intention 305 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: of selling the merchandom merch and then Life is the Highway. 306 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: Moving on. Now, I'm going to annoy you my favorite 307 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: year of the two thousand's. This is the only one 308 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: I'll say is my favorite favorite two thousand and seven. 309 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: Was it Spider Man three, Shrek the Third or Transformers, 310 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: which is the first one, So you have some of 311 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: the three parts and one introduction of a new franchise. 312 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: Which one made the most. It's not gonna be Struck three. 313 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: Struck three was great, but kind of like Hangover three, 314 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: and that like we could have done without it. Trilogy 315 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: is hard to do. Third one usually sucks. Transformers. Michael 316 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: Bay spider Man three. I'm gonna go with Spidy, going 317 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: with Spider Man three. Locking it in at number three 318 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: is Transformers making three nineteen million. At number two is 319 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: Shrek the Third making three d and thirty six million 320 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: dollars and making only point five more million? Is spider 321 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: Man three at number one? Back on my game, back 322 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: on it. Trilogies are hard to do. And even though 323 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: spider Man three is often viewed as the worst spider Man, 324 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: I still feel like it's a pretty solid movie, except 325 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: for the whole Peter Parker turning into a jerk segment 326 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: in that movie and the whole dance thing. But even 327 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: rewatching that movie, it's not as bad as I remember. 328 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: I still think the overall story in that the overall 329 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: development of where Peter Parker's character went in the entire trilogy. 330 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: I still think it's pretty strong. Shrek the Third not 331 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: very memorable to me, and I think as much as 332 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: I loved One and two, was maybe getting older and 333 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: start thought they weren't as funny anymore and kind of 334 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: checked out at that point. But Transformers, I feel like 335 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: that movie really changed action movies and really kind of 336 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: kick started Megan Fox's career and made child a buff 337 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: an all out movie star with that movie. Of those 338 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: three movies, if you can only keep one, which one 339 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: would you keep? That's tough, Spidy, Shrek, the Transformers. I'm 340 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: gonna go with my loyalty to Spidy. There you go, 341 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: and that's why I married you. Let's move on now 342 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: to two thousand and eight. You have some big superhero 343 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: movies here, The Dark Knight, Iron Man, or Indiana Jones 344 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull. Oh, this is so hard. 345 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: This might be the hardest year. Yet it's a good year. 346 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: These are all good years. Which one made the most 347 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: I've already forgotten the first one. The Dark Knight, Dark Knight, Okay, 348 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: iron Man, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. 349 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: Dark Knight going with a Dark Knight locking it in 350 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: at number three would be Indiana Jones making seventeen meal 351 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: million dollars, at number two, Iron Man making three hundred 352 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: and eighteen million dollars, and at number one The Dark 353 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: Night with over half a billion, making five hundred and 354 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: thirty five point two million dollars, And that would be 355 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: six hundred and seventy one million dollars right now. That's 356 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: a crazy amount of money for that movie. As I 357 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: was saying earlier, Spider Man one laid the groundwork for 358 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: a movie like this to exist. This movie changed everything 359 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: of making it more realistic, making it even more gritty, 360 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: and I feel like every other superhero movie try to 361 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: emulate that. Every time they would make a darker character, 362 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: whether it be in d C or in Marvel, it 363 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: always feels like people compare it to The Dark Knight. 364 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: So I think that is largely due to the success 365 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: of this movie of why superhero movies are still popular 366 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: now to the scale that it's on. So if I 367 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: ever have to say my favorite movie, I usually say 368 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: The Dark Knight because I can rewatch that one the 369 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: most and I can't find one single thing I don't 370 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: like about it, So that's always my go to answer 371 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: for my favorite movie. Are you more of a Dark 372 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: Knight fan or an Iron Man fan? Dark Knight? I 373 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: had into Iron Man later and more so, like when 374 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: the Avengers were all together. I felt like he was 375 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: stronger in the Avengers than he was in his solo 376 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: movies Iron alone, iron Man One's great, iron Man two 377 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: is okay, iron Man three not very good. But you 378 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: put Tony Stark in with all the Avengers movies, he 379 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: is the star of all those. Really carried a lot 380 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: of the other franchises, But as far as his solo movies, 381 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: I don't think they're as great as some people remember. 382 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: I also feel like Robert Downey Jr. Is an actor 383 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: that kind of works well when he has like other 384 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: like good supporting or like other main characters, like in 385 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: the Avengers, like his humor and his like wit works 386 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: better when there's like other people to bounce it off 387 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: of it. That's a good point to two thousand and eight, 388 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: we went with Dark Knight winning at the box office 389 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: and winning in Our Hearts, and finally two thousand and nine, 390 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: the year I graduated high school, How did I know 391 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: you were going to preface two thousand nine with that. 392 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: It's a significant thing because it's the summer before my 393 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: entire life changed, before I went off to college and 394 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: then nothing was ever the same. This was my last 395 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: summer of innocence where I could just go to the 396 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: movies without thinking about the real world. So in a sense, 397 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: these are the movies that ended my young adult life. 398 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: And it was the summer your mom celebrated because you 399 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: were all out of the house exactly. The movies that 400 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: made the most at the box office that year were Transformers, 401 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: Revenge of the Fallen, Harry Potter, and The Half Blood Prince. 402 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: And up, out of those three, which one do you 403 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: think was the winner? Harry Potter? Harry Potter, You locking 404 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: that in It's My Loyalty, Always loyalty to Harry Potter. Well, 405 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: at number three was Up making two and ninety three 406 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: million dollars and a movie I saw twice in theater, 407 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: so I gave them double my money, even though I 408 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: didn't make it to number one. At number two Harry 409 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: Potter and The Half Blood Prince making one million dollars. 410 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: Justice for Harry Potter, I agree, because at number one 411 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: is Transformers, Revenge of the Fall and making four hundred 412 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: and two million dollars. Good grief, just that for inflation 413 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: would be about four hundred and eighty five million dollars. 414 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: That's insane for a Transformers movie. And I think the 415 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: most surprising thing for me is I always felt like 416 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: the Harry Potter movies just kept making more and more money. 417 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: And I remember the midnight releases and just the buzz 418 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: of like those for my favorite they would they would 419 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: be insane, like people would wait in line to watch 420 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: these Harry Potter movies. But then Transformers. Where are the 421 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: Transformers fans now? I literally was just saying to you 422 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: the other day that I can't wait for fall, when 423 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: it's like cold outside and there's football and TV and 424 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: it's time to rebatch all the Harry Potters, which we 425 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: will do, all right. But those are the two thousand's. Again, 426 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: if I were to pick one year out of this 427 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: entire list, I would probably pick two thousand and seven 428 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: hands down. If you were to pick just one year, 429 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: what would you go with? I need to see the list. 430 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: I've already forgotten. This was we talked about thirty movies. 431 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: Let me see either two thousand eight or two thousand nine. 432 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: We'll do two thousand nine because it had Harry Potter, 433 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: and up two thousand and nine and two tho nine. 434 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: Girl a, yeah, all right, well, next up we're going 435 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: to talk about Where the Crawdad Saying would do a 436 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: spoiler free review after this. All right, now, we're gonna 437 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: do a spoiler free review of Where the Crawdad Saying. 438 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: My perspective is, I did not read the book before 439 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: watching this movie. How long ago did you read the book? 440 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: I think it was like early, miss Catherine Clark. He 441 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: was charged with the murder of Chase Andrew. Prosecution has 442 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: announced it will sink the death penalty. I'm going to 443 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: get out of here one way or the other. And 444 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: we'll preface this by saying, you read at an alarming speed, 445 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: more than anybody I've ever met or anybody I will 446 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: ever know. You had three three books this week, two 447 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: whole ones. I guess only two whole ones this week, 448 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: and I finished one last weekend. So you're coming from 449 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: somebody who reads a lot, and you read this book 450 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: and didn't entirely love it. It was slow. I just 451 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: kept waiting for it to get better. And you tell 452 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: me about so many books that you read some of them. 453 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: I can't wait until they turn them into movies. I 454 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: feel like you would be a great person to like, Hey, 455 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: what was your favorite book that you think could be 456 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: turned into a movie? You just read so many I 457 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: would really be curious to know what you think about 458 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: that interesting. Do you want an answer that maybe that's 459 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: a whole other episode. Okay, but anyway, we're here to 460 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: talk about where the craw Dad saying. When you read 461 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: that book, was the movie already in development? Or did 462 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: you read it and everything this would be a good movie. Now. 463 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: I read it like right when it came out, and 464 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: I remember it being pretty popular, a lot of people 465 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: reading it around that time. I think it might have 466 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: been it was like Oprah's Book Club reached Weatherspoon's book 467 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: Club pick. And I also just tried to read like 468 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: all the new ones that have buzz, which that makes 469 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more sense. She's an executive producer on 470 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: this movie, Reese Witherspoon. So let's get into what we 471 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: thought about this movie. For me not knowing anything about 472 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: it aside from what I saw on the trailer, aside 473 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: from the couple of things that you told me about it, 474 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: I really knew nothing, and I felt like that kind 475 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: of enhanced my experience. What usually happens when you do 476 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: read a book before watching the movie is you're comparing it. 477 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: You're thinking of what you felt reading that book and 478 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: thinking of all the things they left out, thinking of 479 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: how you picture these characters different in your head. It's 480 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: almost hard to live up to that expectation, because our 481 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: imaginations are greater than anything that could be done with 482 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: a camera. It's just that's the nature of it. So 483 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: what you're going to get in the movie is the 484 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: more easily digestible version of that. And I think with 485 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: this movie, I didn't feel like anything was missing on 486 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: my end, but I didn't have anything to compare it 487 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: to you. Doesn't say you didn't know if there was 488 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: anything missing, But sometimes I just feel like, Oh, I 489 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: think they didn't do a whole lot year this needed 490 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: more explanation. I felt like the entire story was there 491 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,479 Speaker 1: for me to be able to watch it and judge it. 492 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: For you, how did you feel about the movie versus 493 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: the book. I liked the movie way better than I 494 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: liked the book. And why is that? The book just 495 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: kind of dragged on? Yeah, And I feel like the 496 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: movie was able to portray that better because there are 497 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: parts of the movie that we're a little slow. But 498 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: I also think because the book kind of goes back between, 499 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: and so does the movie, but present and then past, 500 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,719 Speaker 1: I think it's easier to see that and read it 501 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: and comprehend and do a mental timeline. I think the 502 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: movie is better, but I do have some questions about 503 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: just the fact that this isn't a spoiler, but like 504 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: her house like is old in the middle of nowhere, 505 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: and girl looked phenomenal all the time, Like her hair 506 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: was always curled, her skin looked great, and I'm like, 507 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: you don't have power, how are you curling your hair? 508 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: Which I know it's a movie, but I just want 509 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: to say that was a little bit of an inconsistency 510 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: that she is Dubs is this march girl who lives 511 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: out by yourself, but yet is able to look like 512 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: she does in the movie, although Daisy Edgar Jones is 513 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: just gorgeous, so she couldn't really look ugly. She tried, 514 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: but I'm just imagining that, Like she doesn't shower every 515 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: day in a marsh, how did she look that good? 516 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: That is the thing I think about a lot when 517 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: watching period pieces or anything where yeah, character is being 518 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: portrayed as somebody who lives out somewhere remotely, or even 519 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: just like an adventure movie to where you know these 520 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: characters haven't taken a shower in a while, like how 521 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: do they look like this? But as you mentioned, I 522 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,959 Speaker 1: did like the back and forth between the president and 523 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: the past. Sometimes that can feel a little bit confusing. 524 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: I feel like this movie did a pretty good job 525 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: at keeping the main story along in the present going 526 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: and then also going back to what you needed to 527 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: see from the past. This is a movie I felt 528 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: like got some pretty hard criticism early on, and I 529 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: think that's tough because people always compare anything like this 530 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: to Twilight, and I'm kind of tired of that take 531 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: of people saying that the romance to or is the same, 532 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: or something was missing from the movie. To just compare 533 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: it to Twilight to kind of be little the movie 534 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: terrible thing to compare something to very different genres, it's 535 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: very different. Also, Twilight didn't even do the best job 536 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: at putting together and I read all the Twilight books 537 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: like the books were better than the movies, So I 538 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: don't think that's a fair comparison, but this movie had 539 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: a thirty five percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. When it 540 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: comes up, the old man is going to like this movie. 541 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: And the criticism, to me, it just made no sense, 542 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: especially when it's sitting next to a nine audience score. 543 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: This is why Rotten Tomatoes doesn't want you, because you'll 544 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: bring down I change the narrative, you'll change their narrative. 545 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: And I don't think we should review bomb movies for 546 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: the sake of just watching something like this and thinking 547 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: this is something I shouldn't like. I think that's what 548 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: I hate about real movie critics. I don't really consider 549 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: myself a movie critic, Like I'm passionate about movies. I'm 550 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: a film movie enthusiast, but I'm just a fan at 551 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: the core of it. And I feel like some critics 552 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: have this like thing that they have to like certain movies, 553 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: like a movie or something from a certain director, and 554 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,959 Speaker 1: if they give that kind of movie a bad review, 555 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: they're losing some credibility. And if they were to watch 556 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: something like Where the Crowd at Seeing and give it 557 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: a great review, it would have the opposite effect of like, oh, 558 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: you like that movie, you must not be that good. 559 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: Of a critic, just like something if you enjoy it. 560 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: And I think it's because I had, I guess, so 561 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: low expectations going into this movie. It was more a 562 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: movie that you wanted to watch that I would just 563 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: go to go into it and enjoy it for what 564 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: it was, and I found myself liking it more. There 565 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: were less things that I could pick out from it 566 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: that I didn't like than I did. I will say, 567 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: and if people have listened to this podcast long enough, 568 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: you know I did not get up once to compete 569 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: during this movie. That's how into it I was. That is, Yeah, 570 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: you have to be pretty into. That's the barometer. It 571 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: was like two and a half hours and I did 572 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: not get up. Oddly, a lot of people got up 573 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: during this movie, and it was really annoying to me. Yeah, 574 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: I didn't noticed that a lot. At like one point, 575 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: with like ten minutes left, this lady came back with 576 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: like a full slushy and a popcorn and I was like, 577 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: there's ten minutes left of the movie, how are you 578 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: leaving now? Also during this movie, was this the one 579 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: where the lights came up. Yeah, that was weird. They 580 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: turned the lights on like ten minutes to at least 581 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,239 Speaker 1: we watched the end of the movie with the lights up. 582 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: That was a little annoying. One of the most dramatic 583 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: parts of the entire movie, which we won't spoil, happened 584 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: while the lights were up. But you can't turn up 585 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: the lights. Yeah, that was annoying. That was really annoying. 586 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: That reminded me of when I was watching Endgame and 587 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: the most emotional part in that movie. This girl next 588 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: to me was on her phone. I'm over here trying 589 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 1: to have a moment and she's on her phone texting somebody. Yeah, 590 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: you can't be doing that people if you want to text. 591 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: But going back to the ratings into criticism on this movie, 592 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: I still think that now the movie has found its audience, 593 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: Like the audience score shows that. I think even most 594 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: of the people that I know read the book and 595 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: we're a fan of the book, still enjoyed this movie. 596 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: You enjoyed the movie more so. I think it's finding 597 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: the right people that it needs to find, and I 598 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: think even with me, it's finding people that weren't expecting 599 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: to like a book like this turned into a movie. 600 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: This is also the first movie which is like a roman. 601 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: It's not a romantic drama, but like a drama that's 602 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: not like an action or a sci fi or dystopian like. 603 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: This is the first one in a while of something 604 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: of that nature, and it's kind of a nice break 605 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: and not your average summer in blockbuster movie. It's not 606 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: really your typical come out in July type movie, right, 607 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: And I think, I mean think about like little lies. 608 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: There was little fires every around Hulu, like those kinds 609 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: of like book to TV or film adaptation. It's been 610 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: a while since they've had one of those. With the 611 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: acting in this, did you ever feel it was a 612 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: little soap opera ish or like teen drama issue at 613 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: all or little c w ish? Not because I've watched 614 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: both soap operas and z W teen dramas. Not really. 615 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: I didn't think so either. That a criticism that it's yeah, 616 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: that it's that it has this kind of soap opera 617 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: over the dramatic times. Not another old man saying that 618 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: because I probably ever watched The Young in the Wrestlers 619 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: or The Days of Our Lives, because that was nothing 620 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: like that. I didn't get that at all. Like I 621 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: thought the emotion in it was warranted. That they did 622 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: a really good job at showing her character as a 623 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: kid and kind of building that foundation of where she 624 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: came from and the struggle she had. It made it 625 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: pretty emotional for me. That's the stupidest criticism I'm just 626 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: thinking about. I'm calling it soap opera ish. No, soap 627 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: operash is like the OC or One Tree Hill, where 628 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: every episode something like terrible happens and they have these 629 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: like tangled love lives. No, Okay, let's dumb criticism. I'm 630 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: shooting the one down. So now we will give our 631 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: rating for where the crow Dad saying me coming from 632 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: a place of This was a movie I was interested 633 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 1: in watching. It did make my most anticipated of the summer, 634 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: but also it not being something that's completely in the 635 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: genre I love. I found myself enjoying it a lot 636 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: more than I thought I did, and I would give 637 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: it four out of five marsh Girls. I was going 638 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: to give it four out of five bags of Grits. Yeah, 639 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: I would write that higher than I would like rate 640 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: the book if I was writing it on the good Reads. All. 641 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: Right after this, I'm gonna talk about a scary movie. 642 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: So you're not gonna be here right now.

Really 657 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: disappointed me with the last movie, so I'm hoping they 658 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: can go out on a note here.

It's supposed 664 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: to be the conclusion of this new trilogy, and the 665 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: main point of it is Michael Myers facing off with 666 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: Laurie Strode in a final battle. It looks like one 667 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: of them is going to die. And this Halloween reiteration 668 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: started out so great in I thought that movie worked 669 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: really well to recreate that original feeling that the first 670 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: one gave us, give us back some of that nostalgia, 671 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: and making Michael Myers cool again, which he really has 672 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: a been in a very long time, even though they've 673 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: been cracking out this movie's I mean since they first 674 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 1: came out back in the seventies, and I felt like 675 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: the rob zombie Halloween one and two left a bad 676 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: taste in everybody's mouth, and maybe by the time halloweenen 677 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: rolled around, people weren't really willing to give it a chance. 678 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: But I think if you were a fan of the 679 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: original Michael Myers movies, which the first one is one 680 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: of my top five, if not my favorite horror movie 681 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: of all time because it's so classic and I just 682 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: loved the character of Michael Myers, I think that movie 683 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: gave me a lot of hope that it would bring 684 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: back those original vibes throughout the entire trilogy here that 685 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: we have, but as we saw last year with Halloween Kills, 686 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: that movie was just so lame. And I find myself 687 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: remembering when that trailer came out and now comparing it 688 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: to this trailer, because the Halloween Kills trailer from last 689 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: year went really hardcore, leaning into all the graphic nature 690 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: of it. There was so many kills within the trailer 691 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 1: that some people are saying that this movie is gonna 692 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: be too violent, they're giving everything away, and I was like, no, 693 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: if they're giving you that much horror and gore in 694 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,919 Speaker 1: the trailer, that just means that the movie is going 695 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: to be even better. And I found that I got 696 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 1: more than I wanted. And why I think that didn't 697 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: work in that movie. It was too much Michael Myers 698 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: on screen. It just seems like when he's there all 699 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: the time, it takes away that suspense, and the brutal 700 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: killing just got stale and repetitive, and the plot line 701 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: was pretty stupid. It felt like that entire movie was 702 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 1: being made as it went and there was no clear thought. 703 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 1: And it also felt like they were doing that movie 704 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: to set up Halloween Ends. They were holding so much 705 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:48,439 Speaker 1: back in movie to get to hear, so that has 706 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: me hopeful, at least now, even after seeing this trailer 707 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: for Halloween Ends, that this will be the movie that 708 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: goes out with a bang, and it needs to be. 709 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: It needs to be that final down between Lorie Strode 710 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: and Michael Myers that's gonna make us want to see 711 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: this and finally and hopefully not get rebooted again in 712 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: another decade or so. The bad thing that the previous 713 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: movie did for me is it made me not root 714 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 1: for any of the good guys in the Halloween franchise 715 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: now because I want Michael Myers to win at the 716 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: end of this, and I think he will. I mean, 717 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: we've seen her die in these movies before. She died 718 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 1: at the very beginning of Halloween Resurrection, which they probably 719 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: regretted a little bit. So the overarching story of the 720 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 1: Halloween movies doesn't really make sense. And it's weird getting 721 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: glimpses and little clips of the original movie in this 722 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: trailer and making it feel like this is going to 723 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: be where it ends from those very first movies because 724 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: of all the things that have happened in between. They're 725 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: basically saying, hey, remember the first two movies, forget about 726 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: everything else in the middle and just remember what we 727 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,760 Speaker 1: are doing now. So as an overarching timeline doesn't really work, 728 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: that vision is shot. But I think you have to 729 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: finish it off with her dying, you thinking Michael Myers 730 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 1: is dead, and then he twitches a little bit and 731 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 1: he's still alive. Like, I think that's we're gonna get here. 732 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 1: And it might be a little bit lame, but I'm 733 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: just hoping as a die hard Halloween fan, and as 734 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: much as people were not satisfied with the last one, 735 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: that they really give us something here, that little glimmer 736 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: that we saw in that attention to detail of making 737 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: it feel suspenseful and making it a little bit self aware, 738 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: of knowing that some of these elements are a little 739 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: bit cheesy at this point, and bringing back some real 740 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: drama and some real steaks into this one. I think 741 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: they can go out on a high note, can't really 742 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: go out on much of a lower note than the 743 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: last one. It can really only go up from there. 744 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: So I think for that reason, I am hopeful. But 745 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: Halloween Ends comes out this Halloween season on October four, 746 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: and yeah, we'll probably have to deal with another iteration 747 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 1: of Halloween and probably whether we like it or not, 748 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: flakes a dish and that's gonna do it for another 749 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: episode here of the podcast.

Is one you listen to 764 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: the episode all the way through, which is always something 765 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 1: I wondered about. Sometimes I feel like people get tired 766 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: of me in the first ten minutes, and the more 767 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: I see people tweeting things like the secret emoji whenever 768 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: I do interviews and I give it us at the 769 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: end of the episode, or you make it to the 770 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: trailer park, that means a lot to me, Benny, So 771 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: anybody who does that an extra thank you to you. 772 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: And also that you tagged Kevin Smith, the director of 773 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: Clerks three. Whenever you tag somebody that I talk about, 774 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: I think that helps me out because maybe they see 775 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: it and they wonder, well, what are they talking about? 776 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: What are they listening to? Maybe somewhere down the line 777 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: it comes up and I get to interview a person 778 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 1: like that. So if you ever have a thought like 779 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: that and you want to tweet me and you include 780 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: a director in that, I'll for sure hit that heart 781 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: button on that tweet and maybe they'll see it too, 782 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: and maybe down the line you can hear them here 783 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: on the podcast.
