1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to movie Mike's movie podcast. I 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: am fired up today. 3 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 2: I saw the. 4 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: First look of Hugh Jackman returning as Wolverine and Deadpool three, 5 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: and I didn't like it. So I want to share 6 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: with you what I think are good suits. Not only 7 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: good suits, but the best suits of all time. I 8 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: have my top ten best superhero suits in movies. In 9 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: the movie review, we'll be talking about Mission Impossible, Dead 10 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: Reckoning Part one. You got Tom Cruise flying around doing 11 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: his own stunts. Didn't live up to my expectations, which 12 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: quite frankly pretty low. Not the biggest fan of Mission Impossible, 13 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: but this one had my attention. And in the trailer 14 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: Park we'll be talking about Wonka, one of my favorite 15 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: movies of all time is getting a prequel, and by 16 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,959 Speaker 1: the first looks of it, I don't hate it. So 17 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: thank you for being here. Shout out to the Monday 18 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: Morning Movie crew, and now let's talk movies. 19 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 3: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, 20 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like 21 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 3: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so 22 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 3: much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking IMDb with glasses. 23 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 2: From the Nashville Podcast Network. This is Movie Mike's movie podcast. 24 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: Let's get into the inspiration behind this episode. So a 25 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: photo was posted last week. It's Hugh Jackman returning as 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: Wolverine in Deadpool three, which is coming out next year, 27 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: and this is the first look we have at the suit. 28 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: When this movie was first announced that he would be 29 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: returning as the character, my immediate reaction was, we were 30 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: finally gonna get the comic book accurate Wolverine suit, you know, 31 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: the one. It's yellow and blue, it's sleeveless, it has 32 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: his muscles ripping out. It also has the iconic pointy 33 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: helmet and then the weird boots with the pointy tips 34 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: and all the things that make it look so iconic. 35 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: And it's a look I greatly associate with the time 36 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: I got into X Men, the cartoon from the nineties, 37 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: and it's the version we never got in the movies. 38 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: And quite frankly, the original suits and all the X 39 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: Men movies were pretty terrible. They were so leather heavy, 40 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: And I think the reason is because in the early 41 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: two thousands, Marvel was not what it was today. It 42 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: was really trying to establish itself in the real world. Therefore, 43 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: when you deal with realism, you can't really throw a 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: bunch of actors into spandex. 45 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 2: People wouldn't really take it seriously. 46 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: So I think for that reason, the costumes in those 47 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: X Men movies really suffered because it really wasn't what 48 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: comic book fans wanted. But that and Sam Raimi Spider 49 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: Man allowed it to break into the mainstream and we 50 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: all got comfortable with the idea of a superhero suit. 51 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: And now in the twenty twenties, it is much more 52 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: just acceptable to do a very comic book accurate suit 53 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: that can be a little bit more cartoony, a little 54 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: bit more fun, because really that's what we all have 55 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: been itching for. So after seeing this first look of 56 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: Hugh Jackman in this suit. 57 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: I didn't like it. I don't think it looks. 58 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: As comic accurate as everybody is saying. I think it's 59 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: a really hard thing to do because again I am 60 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: associating it with the Wolverine cartoon from that early series 61 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: and also the comic books, and everybody's saying it looks 62 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: exactly like it. 63 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: I don't really. 64 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: See it, maybe in the little details on the side. 65 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: As far as the Wolverine marks, but to me, it 66 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: just looks like he is in a motorcycle racing suit. 67 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: It looks like it's about a hop onto a bike, 68 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: not about to kick someone's butt. 69 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: And also the colors are a little bit off. 70 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: Yes, it is completely yellow, which is cool to see 71 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: him in that they finally committed to that, but it's 72 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: not blue and yellow. It's blue and black, so he 73 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: kind of looks like a bumblebee. And I've seen different 74 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: versions of this picture taken off the internet, and some 75 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: people have changed the colors themselves, but in the original 76 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,839 Speaker 1: photo that was posted, it looks black and yellow, black 77 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: and yellow, black and yellow, And I think it's bad 78 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: because I don't immediately look at this suit and think Wolverine. 79 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: But to the left of him you have Deadpool, and 80 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: I think that is really why the design is the 81 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: way it is, because it looks more of a reflection 82 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: of the world that Deadpool lives in, which is much 83 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: more of a tactical suit has kind of these panels, 84 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: but that is really what that Deadpool suit is in 85 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: the comic books, and he has one of the best 86 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: comic book accurate suits, So I feel like they had 87 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: the same approach with Wolverine and it just doesn't look 88 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: the same. So yes, I wanted him to be in 89 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: yellow spandex, much like they made the joke back in 90 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: X Men in two thousand and two when Cyclops jokingly 91 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: tells him, what would you prefer to wear yellow spandex? 92 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: Yes? 93 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: I would, So I don't see those same comic book 94 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: accurate details, especially with the boots. He is straight up 95 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,679 Speaker 1: just wearing motocross boots in this suit. It looks nothing 96 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: like the ones from the comics or the cartoon. So 97 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: I am not nerding out over this costume, but I 98 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: don't think it will affect my feeling going into this 99 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: movie because up until this point, the Deadpool movies have 100 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: not let me down. So I also don't know how 101 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: often this suit is going to be used in the 102 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: entire movie. 103 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,239 Speaker 2: It's just a picture. It's worth a thousand words. 104 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: We don't know if this is just one gag scene 105 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: where maybe Deadpool was telling them, hey, why don't you 106 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: get in the yellow super old time sake and they 107 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: have this one little montage of him in the yellow suit. 108 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: So I am not fully believing anything until we get 109 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: that first trailer and see what he's actually going to 110 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: look like in the movie. Maybe once it's on screen 111 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: it looks better, but right now I am not a fan. 112 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: So instead of talking an entire episode about bad suits, 113 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: which is an entirely different episode that I'll do in 114 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: the future, I want to talk about my top ten 115 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: best superhero suits of all time. The only rules for 116 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: this episode is it must be in a movie on 117 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: the big screen adaptation, and I am not including villains 118 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: into this. And I'm also not including suits that are 119 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: entirely cgi, So the Hulk isn't really a suit, it's 120 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: an entire person, so he will not be on my list. 121 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: So let's get into the list. 122 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: At number ten, I have Patty Jenkins Wonder Woman from 123 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. The reason I love this suit is because 124 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: it is the right amount of comic book accurate and 125 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: also so the right amount of a tactical suit that 126 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: actually has the functionality, and the Wonder Woman's suit is 127 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: one that would be so easy to make it cheesy 128 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: and make it not look good on screen. And this 129 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: suit is also the right amount of sexy because when 130 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: they made the first suit worn by Linda Carter, that 131 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: version was actually based on lingerie. However, Gal Gadot's suit 132 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: was actually based on Roman armor, and that is the 133 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: feeling you get in this movie. She looks awesome, but 134 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: she also looks like she can pummel your face in. 135 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: And I love every time this suit is on screen. 136 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: From the very first moment I saw her in the suit, 137 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: I knew they had cast Wonder Woman perfectly. And most 138 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: times I don't feel that way. I always feel like, ah, 139 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: you should have cast this person, should have cast that person. 140 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: But gal Gado is the perfect casting. You have the 141 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: strapless red plated armor, the blue skirt, the gold head piece, 142 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: and the armor on the hands and the arms. It's 143 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: all just worked together perfectly. I think I just loved 144 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: the color palette two of the red, blue and the gold. 145 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: So at number ten, I have Wonder Woman suit from 146 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. At number nine, I have Christopher Nolans The 147 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,559 Speaker 1: Dark Knight, the batsuit worn by Christian Bale in two 148 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: thousand and eight. And this suit was so highly influential 149 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: on every comic book movie adaptation that would come after it. 150 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: And when you look historically at the Batman suit, it 151 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: was always one of the most comic book accurate suits. 152 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: But the problem with that is it wasn't as practical 153 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: to the actor playing Batman, because if you remember, in 154 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: the early iterations of the suit, there was always a 155 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: problem with Batman turning his head. 156 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: He couldn't swivel his neck. 157 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: He'd had to turn his entire body, and sometimes that 158 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: looks very awkward on camera. But the reason for that 159 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: is because in the comic books, the entire thing is 160 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: just connected what Christopher Nolan's Batman suit first did, and 161 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: Batman begins and then greatly improved on that, and the 162 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: Dark Knight was fixing that problem with some upgrades making 163 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: it look more like it was a suit designed by 164 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: the military. It looked like it could take a bullet, 165 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: unlike the rubber suit in the late eighties and early nineties. 166 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: I even loved it, even though there was less emphasis 167 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: on the Batman logo in the center. I also just 168 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: loved the spikes pointing out of the sleeves. This suit 169 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: just worked on so many levels, and I feel like 170 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: so many superhero movies took inspiration from this suit and 171 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: how tactical it could be, especially with the iteration we 172 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: had in twenty twenty two with the Batman, which is 173 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: much more of a ragged Batman suit. That suit could 174 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: not have existed if it wasn't for Christopher Nolans. So 175 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: at number nine I have the Dark Knight suit from 176 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. At number eight, I have Tim 177 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: Miller's Deadpoole costume from twenty sixteen worn by Ryan Reynolds. 178 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: And this is a big upgrade from the one we 179 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: got in X Men origins Wolverine that looked terrible. His 180 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: mouth was sown shut and it looked nothing like the 181 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: comic books. And the dead Pot suit is just so 182 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: incredibly faithful to the source material. It essentially looks like 183 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: Deadpool just leapt off of a comic book page right 184 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: onto the big screen. You add some texture to it, 185 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: and that is what you get in the first Deadpool movie. 186 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: So I think if Deadpool was one of my more 187 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: favorite superheroes, this one maybe would have ranked higher. There's 188 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: just something about it when it's on screen. Maybe it's 189 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: all the red that just immediately makes your eyes go 190 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: and stay there. 191 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: I also love that. 192 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: The white eyes allow Ryan Reynolds's character and his voice 193 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: acting to really shine because they are so expressive on 194 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: this suit and such a big part of it. Since 195 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't have a mouth, so I feel that part 196 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: of this suit allows it to be much more animated 197 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: and larger than live So that is just a great detail, 198 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: combined with the rugged belt, the swords on the back, 199 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: and the fact that he's always holding two guns. So 200 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: this suit looks awesome and it is the perfect look 201 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 1: for an R rated movie. And even though it is 202 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,599 Speaker 1: so comic book accurate, there's still a sense of realism 203 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: to it, and I think that's why it's worked so well, 204 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: and I'm glad they haven't really changed a whole lot 205 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: in what we're seeing from Deadpool three. So at number 206 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: eight from twenty sixteen, I'm going with Deadpool. Moving on 207 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: to number seven, I have the Russo Brothers Captain America 208 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: suit from Civil War in twenty sixteen, worn by Chris Evans. Now, 209 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: what you had with the early Captain America suits was 210 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: a much more comic book accurate suit with the red, 211 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: white and blue. 212 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: And the helmet. 213 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: But what I loved about Captain America more than any 214 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: other superhero suit is its evolution over time. It went 215 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: from a much more cartoony look to a very much 216 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: more rugged and more defined, subdued look over every single 217 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: appearance in every single movie. And the reason I love 218 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: that so much with Captain America is it greatly reflects 219 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: the character development of Steve Rodgers, because his character was 220 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: so bright eyed and bushy tailed in the first movie, 221 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: and then over time, with every single battle, he became 222 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: very much more weighed down with life and all the 223 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: things he has been through, all the things he felt 224 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: like he missed out on, and his costume reflected that 225 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: in every single iteration. But where I loved it the 226 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: most wasn't Civil War, because he still had the red, white, 227 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: and blue, but the red was almost a blood red 228 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: that was a lot more subtle. Same with the white, 229 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't really off white. It was just a very 230 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: dirty white that almost had like this spray painted black 231 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: over it. You still had the classic helmet with the A, 232 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: but everything was just kind of worn looking. So this 233 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: felt like the suit that was a reflection of the 234 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: transition of his character and it was just a little 235 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: bit different than it was in Age of Ultron. So 236 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: at number seven, I have Captain America suit from Civil War. 237 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: At number six, I have the og Sam Raimi Spider 238 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: Man suit worn by Toby maguire in two thousand and two, 239 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: I don't think I appreciated this suit as much as 240 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: I do now into No Way Home, because now I 241 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: feel that this suit is so classic looking. And I 242 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: was saying earlier when talking about X Men, that these 243 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: suits needed to look very realistic, they needed to look 244 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: less cartoony to be able to break into the mainstream. 245 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: And I almost feel that Spider Man in two thousand 246 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: and two was kind of the in between of both 247 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: of those ideas. You wanted to make a Spider Man 248 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: suit that comic book fans would love, but also one 249 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: that would just look good on screen and not just 250 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: feel like a live action cartoon. And what I love 251 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: about Sam Raimi's Spider Man is all the shots when 252 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: it's actually placed into a real world situation, so it's 253 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: Spider Man on the street after his first save in 254 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: the movie. I remember the first time I saw that 255 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: and I was like, Wow, Spider Man actually exists like 256 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: this in our real world. 257 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 2: They finally did it. 258 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: I love the raised web detailing. I think that is 259 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: kind of the main staple of this costume that gives 260 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: it this almost three D look throughout the suit, so 261 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: it very much looks like the classic Spider Man look 262 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 1: without feeling cheesy in any way. So, out of the 263 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: three major on screen portrayals of this suit, this is 264 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: the most classic. This is the og This is the 265 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: one at number six, Sam Raimi's Spider Man suit from 266 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: two thousand and two getting into the top five. Now 267 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: at number five, I have Tim Burton's Batman Returns the 268 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: batsuit from nineteen ninety two worn by Michael Keaton. Now, 269 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: this one is really just an improvement on the nineteen 270 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: eighty nine suit, which you may say is the more 271 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: iconic one. It is really the one that was more 272 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: used in the Flash movie we had earlier this year, 273 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: but I felt like the nineteen ninety two suit was 274 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: an improvement. If you put them side by side, they 275 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 1: are very similar. The improvements I'm talking about are the 276 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: ones related to the armor. In the nineteen eighty nine version, 277 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: especially with the avs, it looks just like Batman has 278 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,599 Speaker 1: some ripped up abs. They improved on that in the 279 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two version and it looks more like he 280 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: is wearing armor, which I think is a much more 281 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: sleeker look. And I think all around, the nineteen ninety 282 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: two version just looks so much better on camera. But 283 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: my favorite detail about this suit that I wish another 284 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: Batman suit would incorporate is the iconic logo with the 285 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: yellow background. That is a symbol I look at and 286 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: think Batman, and maybe it's not the most practical of suits. 287 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: What I was saying earlier. 288 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: Is a big setback to this suit is the fact 289 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: that you have to turn your entire body to turn 290 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: your head. It looks a little bit awkward, but I'll 291 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: give that up for it looking so comic book accurate. 292 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: You have the colors, you have the tactical belt, you 293 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: have the best ears, all the gizmos and gadgets, and 294 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: that gold belt are perfect. So at number five, I 295 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: have Tim Burton's Batman Returns batsuit. Moving on to number four, 296 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: I have Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, the Superman's suit 297 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: worn by Henry cavill in twenty thirteen. Now, don't get 298 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: me wrong, the nineteen seventy nine Christopher Reeve costume is iconic, 299 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: but it's incredibly cheesy. Sometimes two comic book accurate can 300 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: be cheesy. That's okay. What this suit did was take 301 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: inspiration from that suit but greatly improve on it. And 302 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: what I love about the Man of Steel suit is 303 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: it looks much more like something an alien would wear, 304 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: which that is what Clark Kent is. 305 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: That is what Superman is. 306 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: He is an alien from another planet who comes to Earth. 307 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: This is more accurate of what he would wear. He 308 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't just be wearing very bright blue and red span 309 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: dex with a big S on it with a yellow background. 310 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: He would be wearing something more like this, very skin tight, 311 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: kind of scaly looking, with the more subdued. 312 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 2: Blue and red. But my favorite detail about this suit 313 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 2: is the logo. 314 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: Instead of being a nest that means Superman, it's a 315 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: Kryptonian symbol and the S is actually the symbol for Hope, 316 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: so it's a lot fatter. It kind of looks like 317 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: a snake in a way, maybe a nandaconda. And I 318 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: think that is the detail that really sets this suit apart. 319 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: I mean also the fact that Henry Cavill has the 320 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: body of a god and when he puts this suit on, 321 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: he looks like a force to be reckoned with. And 322 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: it's my favorite cape suit in my top three. There 323 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: won't be any superhero suits with cape suits, but the 324 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: best superhero to wear a cape because He's one who 325 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: actually needs it is Superman. 326 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 2: He flies, he needs a cape. 327 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: And I think a great superhero suit should be inspirational 328 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: to not only adults like me who are nerds and 329 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: new podcasts, but to kids. And I think the Superman 330 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: suit is inspirational. I could imagine a kid even now, 331 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: stumbling upon twenty thirteen's Man of Steel and thinking I 332 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: want to be Superman for Halloween. That is the sign 333 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: of a great costume. So because the design stays true 334 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: to its core, it has that familiarity, but it also 335 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: just feels much more majestic. 336 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: That is why I put it at number four. 337 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: Zack Snyder's Man of Steel the Superman suit worn by 338 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: Henry Cavill moving into the top three. At number three, 339 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: I have Jon Favreau's iron Man two. It is the 340 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: Mark four suit worn by the one and only Tony 341 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 1: Stark played by Robert Downey Junior in twenty twelve. So 342 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: a brief history on the Iron Man's suit as far 343 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: as the movies. The Mark one was the one he 344 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: made in the cave. The Mark two was the first 345 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: one he made after escaping the cave. It was the 346 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: essentially the prototype Iron Man suit, but it was the 347 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: one that was entirely silver, and then the Mark three 348 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: was the one in the two thousand and eight Iron Man, 349 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: and that was the suit that very much paid homage 350 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:44,719 Speaker 1: to the comic books. 351 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: To me, it looked a little. 352 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,719 Speaker 1: Bit more softer and rounded edges, So I felt like 353 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,479 Speaker 1: the Mark four in Iron Man two was such an 354 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: improvement on it. 355 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 2: And I think it is the perfect suit. 356 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: Because it keeps that iconic red and gold color scheme 357 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: but has a bit of a sleeker design. It's a 358 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,479 Speaker 1: lot more streamlined. There's a lot more detail in the 359 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: chest and the ribcage and the ab area, and the 360 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: helmet just looks so much better, a little bit less cartoony. 361 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: And this is even though I love the Ironman movie 362 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: way more. I rewatched iron Man two recently and feel 363 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: like it's a little bit forgettable, but I could not 364 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: stop looking at how good the suit looked. I also 365 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: love this one because it still has the circular core 366 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: in the middle. Before they started messing around with that 367 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: and it turned into a triangle, sometimes went back to 368 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: a circle, but this one just overall had the right 369 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: amount of everything, the right amount of red and gold, 370 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: the right amount of functionality, and overall is my favorite 371 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: Ironman suit, and that is why I put it at 372 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: number three. Jon Favreau's Ironman suit from iron Man two. 373 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: At number two, I have Ryan Coogler's Black Panther from 374 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. It is the Black Panther suit worn by 375 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,239 Speaker 1: Chadwick Boseman, and the first time we had a get 376 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: this on the big screen was his first appearance in 377 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: Civil War, which was a great suit, and I felt 378 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: like his suit was such a breath of fresh air 379 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: and marvel at the time because everybody was just starting 380 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: to look the same. We had been with these characters 381 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: for so long, and you throw Black Panther on the 382 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: big screen and it looks so different than every other suit. 383 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: So every time he was on screen in Civil War, 384 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: I just wanted more, and that is exactly what I 385 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: got in the Black Panther movie. The suit also requires 386 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 1: a large amount of special effects to make it look believable, 387 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: and they did an incredible job doing that, bringing vibranium 388 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: to life. It appears almost lightweight in skin tight, but 389 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: also looks extremely durable and looks like it could take 390 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: the beating that it does every time T'Challa gets into 391 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: a fight. So you have this basically entirely black, full 392 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: body suit with these metallic materials all throughout it, paired 393 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: with the feline detail, the ears on the mask, the 394 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: claud gloves, all of it just works together and looks 395 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: like it's made for a king. It's made to look 396 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: exactly like what he is. He is a king who 397 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: is also a soldier. And I also love that much 398 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: of the costume design is an homage to different African tribes. 399 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: The Black Panther Suit is actually in the National Museum 400 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: of African American History and Culture. 401 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 2: So the fact that the. 402 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: Suit also honors history and the way that the suit 403 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: compliments T'Challa's wardrobe when he's not wearing the Black Panther Suit, 404 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: just what he wears in normal everyday life throughout the movie. 405 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: That is something that no other superhero really has, because 406 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: even when he's not wearing the suit, you know that 407 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: T'Challa is Black Panther. 408 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: And it's also my favorite suit that works well without 409 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 2: a helmet. 410 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: I think my favorite scenes are where it's just T'Challa 411 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: wearing the suit without a helmet. Maybe it's because I 412 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: get to see Chadwick Boseman's face and that just makes 413 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: me happy. So at number two, I have Ryan Coogler's 414 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: Black Panther suit worn by Chadwick Poseman. 415 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 2: But at number one, my favorite superhero suit. 416 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: Of all time is Mark Webb's amazing Spider Man suit 417 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: from twenty twelve worn by Andrew Garfield. And I know 418 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: this Spider Man suit isn't for everybody, but I feel 419 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: like it was made just for me, because, like I 420 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 1: was saying earlier, the Toby Maguire suit is the classic look. 421 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: The Tom Holland suit is the more modern look, which 422 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: actually I'm not the biggest fan of that suit on 423 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: its own. It's a little bit too cartoony, a little 424 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: bit too cgi for me. I love those movies, but 425 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: I could do with a different suit in the Tom 426 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: Holland movies. But when it comes to Andrew Garfield in 427 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 1: his suit, there is nothing I don't like about it 428 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: and only things I love about it. I think my 429 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: favorite detail about this suit is the texture. It just 430 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: looks like I want to touch it. And maybe that's 431 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: the issue a lot of people have with this suit, 432 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 1: that textured surface, but for me, it just looks so 433 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: great on on screen. It looks so good when he's 434 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,479 Speaker 1: in action, but also just when he's on the street 435 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: or in an alleyway walking down it. 436 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 2: It just sticks out to me. 437 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: It has a slightly rougher and tactical feel, but I 438 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: feel like it adds a sense of realism to the 439 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: character and enhances. 440 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 2: The overall costume. 441 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: It's just so striking to me, and I feel like 442 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: this suit did what it was supposed to do. It 443 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: was coming just a decade later that they were revamping 444 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: and rebooting Spider Man. You had to make it different. 445 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: Some people also had an issue with the eyes, but 446 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: I love the eyes, especially that scene where you get 447 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: the first real up close look at it. He's on 448 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: the side of the building, almost selfie style, and. 449 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 2: You get this suit in all its glory. 450 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: This is the best Spider Man suit, hands down, because 451 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: it looks like one that cannot only take a beating, 452 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: but also deliver a beating because it has so much 453 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: emphasis on the muscles of Peter Parker. And I feel 454 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: like it was an incredible downgrade from the amazing Spider 455 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: Man to Tom Holland Spider Man suit. What I was 456 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: saying back in the twenty tens, my feelings on this 457 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: suit and loving it. I feel like people only have 458 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: those feelings now after No Way Home, and there's much 459 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: more an appreciation for Andrew Garfield's amazing Spider Man one 460 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: and two because we've had some time to sit on him, 461 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: we had time to realize that they really got it 462 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: right in those movies, and the real travesty is we 463 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: never got a third one. So that is it My 464 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,239 Speaker 1: top ten superhero suits of all time. I have a 465 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: few honorable mentions. I was gonna say either Thor or 466 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: Captain America suit from Infinity War. Really, every single suit 467 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: in that movie looks perfect. They're all so rugged and 468 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: dark to reflect the feelings and emotions in that movie. 469 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: That really could pick any single character in Infinity War, 470 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: and that could be the best one. My other honorable 471 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: mention that's probably gonna be controversial is the black Adam suit. 472 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: I didn't love that movie. I didn't love the character, 473 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 1: but that suit is undeniably good looking. 474 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 2: It's skin tight, it's. 475 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: Scaly, and maybe I just have a fascination because in 476 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: my personal life I wear a lot of black. I 477 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: just thought the suit looked good, the Rock looked good 478 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: wearing it. He just didn't really deliver on any other aspect. 479 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: Also in my honorable Mentions, I would put nineteen ninety 480 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: eight's Blade, which I feel like doesn't get enough credit 481 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: as being one of the first influential Marvel movies. Wesley 482 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: Snipes is Blade is so good, but nobody ever mentions him. 483 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: Also in my honorable Mentions, I would have the Symbiote 484 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: suit from Spider Man three in two thousand and seven. 485 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: It's my favorite suit in the comic books and in 486 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: the video games, and I'm really looking forward to the 487 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: look of it in the new Spider Man game coming 488 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: out this year. Actually, as I plot out my Marvel tattoo, 489 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: that is on my vision board for the tattoo I 490 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: want to get. So maybe it's not so much how 491 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: it looked in the movie, but really what that suit 492 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: means to me. That's why I had to give it 493 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: an honorable mention. But that's the list. We'll come back 494 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: and talk about Mission Impossible Dead Reckon Part one after 495 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: this about to get into a spoiler free movie review, 496 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Mission Impossible Dad Reckoning Part one. That 497 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: title is a mouthful. You could just call it Mission 498 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: Impossible seven. A couple of things that I have holding 499 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: me against fully loving this movie going into it. One 500 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: Historically I have not loved all of Tom Cruise's action movies. 501 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: When I look to an action star, I don't really 502 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: look to Tom Cruise, and it kind of conflicts with 503 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: the way I feel with him as a person historically. 504 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: But I try to separate the art from the artist. 505 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: So I did that going into this movie, and I 506 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,959 Speaker 1: think I was able to do it. But over the 507 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: course of these seven films now, I haven't really loved 508 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: any one of them. In particular, going back to nineteen 509 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: ninety six, that one was probably the best one in 510 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: my opinion, because it was really the only time I 511 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: cared about a Mission Impossible movie. But it's crazy now 512 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: that Tom Cruise has been playing Ethan Hunt for over 513 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: twenty seven years and this one is by far some 514 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: of the best action I have seen in any single 515 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: Mission Impossible movie. Which they had really gone out of 516 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: my brain space for much of the two thousand's and 517 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: it really wasn't until Ghost Protocol that they got on 518 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: my radar again, but I would only watch them when 519 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: they would come out on streaming. This was my first 520 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: time in a very long time to go see a 521 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: Mission Impossible movie in theaters, and I have to say 522 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: it is quite the ride. We have come a long 523 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: way since nineteen ninety six. So what this movie is about, 524 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: Ethan Hunt and his team are back and they are 525 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: trying to track down this dangerous weapon before it gets 526 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: into the hands of the wrong people. Essentially, they are 527 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: trying to find this key, this very complex key that 528 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: in order to unlock something that it goes to, you 529 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: have to have two different sides of the key. You 530 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: put them together and then they light up, and that 531 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: is able to unlock something. And through the course of 532 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: this film you find out what exactly that is, why 533 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 1: all these evil people are trying to get their hands 534 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: on it, and all the mayhem that goes down in 535 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: the process. 536 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 2: So I got a little bit. 537 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: Worried at the beginning of this movie. It had almost 538 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: a cheesy tone to me. It reminded me more of 539 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: the Mission Impossible TV show than what I wanted in 540 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: a big Hollywood adaptation. But by the close of that 541 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 1: opening sequence, that all went out the window, and it 542 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: was a heck of an intro. It was a really 543 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: big exclamation point that really got me invested in the 544 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: story early on and really The plotline of this entire 545 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: movie is pretty basic, but in this case it actually 546 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: worked so unlike in a Fast and the Furious franchise 547 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: movie where it's just a bunch of big, dumb action. 548 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,239 Speaker 1: I really felt like Dead Recording Part one had a 549 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: lot of refined action. It was almost as if Tom 550 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: Cruise and the director sat down and watched a lot 551 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: of Christopher Nolan movies. Maybe they watched Dunkirk Tennant and 552 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: went back and watched Inception and thought we need to 553 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: take with Christopher Nolan does so well in his movies 554 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: as far as the action aspect, not really try to 555 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: make anything that cinematic, but take those action elements and 556 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: put it into a mission impossible movie. 557 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 2: So that is why I think this movie just sets 558 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 2: itself apart, because. 559 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: Oftentimes when I go see an action movie, I think 560 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: it's just gonna be one of those movies where you 561 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: turn your brain off, you watch a bunch of things 562 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: explode and crash into each other and that's really it. 563 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: But for some reason, this movie felt a little bit 564 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: different to me, like there was a lot of intention, 565 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: and I think that really comes through in this movie. 566 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: Not so much with the plot line, but I think 567 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: more with the characters with their story, trying to add 568 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of an emotional element to it. Then 569 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: when you come in with all of the action, you 570 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: can really bring it home. And I wouldn't say the 571 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: cinematography in this movie is very artistic. It almost felt 572 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: like watching a nat GEO show. It almost felt like 573 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: in moments that there was just a GoPro or like 574 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: a really bare minimum camera attached to the side of 575 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: the car, or a hatched to a motorcycle, or in 576 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: the big sequence that we were all waiting for from 577 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: the trailer, whenever Tom Cruise does that jump, it really 578 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: felt like they were wanting to give you that feeling 579 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: that you were a part of the action. And I 580 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: think that's something Tom Cruise is really trying to bring 581 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: home right now as well. It also had a decent 582 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: amount of comedy. Now it wasn't a lot of funny 583 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: situations or like they were just writing jokes to fit 584 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: in there. It was just these situations where the action 585 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: was so intense, they had this little moment of levity. 586 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: Another thing that really set this movie apart is there 587 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: was much more of an emphasis on a score than 588 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: there was just songs on a soundtrack, unlike in a 589 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: Fast and the Furious movie where you get a lot 590 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: of em dance music late nineties, early two thousand songs. 591 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: This movie was really intentional on the score, so it 592 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: added this little bit of texture that made the action 593 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: just seem a little bit more elegant at times when 594 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: there was maybe a fight scene going on, or just 595 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: Tom Cruise running down on I thought, if you didn't 596 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: have that music behind it, it would seem so cheesy 597 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: and so unrealistic that if you just zoomed out as 598 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: like a bystander looking at this situation, they'd be like, 599 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: why is that guy running down the street so fast? 600 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: Why are they fighting under bridge? It would seem so weird. 601 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: But that score makes all the difference. A couple of 602 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: questions I had about Tom Cruise after watching this movie. 603 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: I wonder if he runs in some kind of specialized 604 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: shoe because this is some of his best running to date. 605 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,959 Speaker 1: I know he has just become known for that of 606 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: Tom Cruise running in movies. He runs really well, but 607 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: he's always in like a full suit whenever he does 608 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: this running. So I wonder if he has some dress 609 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: shoes designed by Nike, because as a runner myself. 610 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 2: I have to be in the right shoes to go 611 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 2: for a run. 612 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: And if ever I try any different shoes that I'm 613 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: not used to, my feet get all blistered. So I 614 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: always run in the exact same shoes. So I wonder 615 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: if he has, like some specially designed shoes that look 616 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: like dress shoes but are actually running shoes. 617 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 2: I was looking. They look like dress used. 618 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: To me, So if he doesn't, I give him an 619 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: a plus for athleticism in this movie. I also wonder 620 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: if he uses some kind of filter, since he has 621 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: final say on the cut of this movie, because not 622 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: only in this movie, but also in Top Gun Maverick, 623 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: he looks very shimmery, he looks very bright, He looks 624 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: about ten years younger in some of these shots compared 625 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: to his co stars. And he even made a statement 626 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: last week that he thought about using daging for an 627 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: opening sequence where it flashes back to him way back 628 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: in the day. I think maybe they were going to 629 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: even put him in the eighties and use some daging 630 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: to make him look how old he was back in 631 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: the eighties, but decided against it because he thought that 632 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: in some aspects d aging is good, but sometimes it's 633 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: not the best. I'm not convinced he doesn't really use 634 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: that as some of his movies now, because there are 635 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: some scenes where I was paying attention to it and 636 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: it kind of looked like there was a Snapchat filter 637 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: on him. And my third question about Tom Cruise, I 638 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: wonder does he feel emotions anymore? Sometimes he feels a 639 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: little bit robotic to me. And he does action movies. Well, 640 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: we see him on the screen and he looks like 641 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: he belongs there. But I wonder if, over the course 642 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: of his career, being a superstar, being at this level 643 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: that nobody else has at, if he's lost what it 644 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: feels like to feel normal human emotions. There are sometimes 645 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: he interacts with some of the other actors in this 646 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: movie that it makes me. 647 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 2: Think like, is he a robot? Is he okay? 648 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: Would he be able to do a rom com in 649 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: the twenty twenties or is he so far removed from 650 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: feeling love that he wouldn't know how to do it anymore? 651 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: Because there are some moments that I know I'm looking 652 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: at one of the best actors of our lifetime, one 653 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: of the most bangable Hollywood stars ever, But I wonder 654 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: if he actually has the capabilities just to feel love, 655 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: just to have the ability to connect emotionally with some 656 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: other characters here, because I didn't really feel that from him, 657 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: and a little bit it kept me from humanizing Ethan whatsoever, 658 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: which I don't really think you need that in this movie. 659 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: You just need to have a character who is larger 660 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: than life and able to do all these crazy things. 661 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: So maybe it was just because the character didn't require it, 662 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,239 Speaker 1: but for me, I didn't see it in him. 663 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 2: But one thing Tom. 664 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: Cruise does know is exactly what we want to see. 665 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: He is kind of like mister Beast on YouTube, who 666 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: is so good at making videos that get millions and 667 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: millions of views because he gets right to it, He 668 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: gets right to the action, he puts it in the 669 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: title what you see is what you get, and just 670 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: has this really great pulse on what people want to 671 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: see on the internet. 672 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 2: Tom Cruise is like that with Hollywood. He backs it. 673 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: Up with his commitment to stunts, which there was a 674 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: lot of great stunts in this movie, and there were 675 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: never really instances where I saw that he used the 676 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 1: stunt double, So maybe they used it very specifically if 677 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: they ended up making the final cut, but especially with 678 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: that scene that we were all waiting for, the one 679 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: where he makes that big jump and then parachutes onto 680 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: the train that we saw in the trailer. That was 681 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: such a great sequence, but there was also emotion and 682 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: reasoning leading up to that moment. If you just threw 683 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: that stunt in a random movie but had no context 684 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: to it, it would be meaningless. But it really meant 685 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: a lot to the movie. So it's not like this 686 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: great scene just comes out of nowhere and just exists 687 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: for the sake of existing. There was a lot leading 688 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: up to that moment, and it looks so great on camera, 689 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,479 Speaker 1: and even though I had already seen it all over 690 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: the trailer, I still really enjoyed that moment and was 691 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 1: probably my favorite thing. It's kind of like the chorus 692 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: in a song. You know it's coming, but once it 693 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: gets there, you still want to sing along. 694 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 2: That was that scene to me. 695 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: Tom Cruise is also really good at finding great co stars, 696 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: which every single co star in this movie was great. 697 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: From Haley Atwell, who I really know as Agent Carter, 698 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: s i' Morales, who I know as Bob from Lahabahamba. 699 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: The whole time he was on screen, I just wanted 700 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 1: to scream. Richie Simon Peg who has been a part 701 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: of these movies since two thousand and six, which is 702 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: surprising to me, mainly because I still just see him 703 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: as Sean of the Dead, but he brought a lot 704 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: of the comedic aspect to this movie. Vanessa Kirby was 705 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,280 Speaker 1: also really great in this movie, and of course being Raims, 706 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: and the movie did pretty well at the box office. 707 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: It opened on Wednesday of this past week and brought 708 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: home eighty million dollars in the United States, and what 709 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm looking at now is two hundred and thirty five 710 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: million dollars worldwide. So an interesting move for them to 711 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: open the movie on a Wednesday. I wonder if that 712 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 1: was strategically done knowing that an actors strike was coming 713 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,720 Speaker 1: and that once that hit, Tom Cruise wouldn't be able 714 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: to promote the movie anymore, which is a pretty interesting 715 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: wrinkle in a lot of movies coming out in the 716 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: next two weeks, especially as we go into Barbie Oppenheimer. 717 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: But overall, it's a pretty big win, per mission impossible, 718 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: probably not going to achieve that same level of status 719 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: as Top Gun two, crossing that billion dollar mark. I 720 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: just think there wasn't that much of a demand for 721 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: another mission impossible movie, and that was much more of 722 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: an event that this could ever be. It'll probably get 723 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: in the seven hundred maybe eight hundred million dollar mark 724 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: at best, I would think. But the movie did leave 725 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 1: me wanting more, and I went into it knowing it 726 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: was a part one of two. Part two is scheduled 727 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: to come out June twenty eighth, twenty twenty four, next year. Again, 728 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: not sure how the strike is going to affect that, 729 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: which I thought we would be okay, But up until 730 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: this last week, I didn't realize that if actors go 731 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: on strike, they also can't promote their projects. So that 732 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: is really the only reason I could see this being 733 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 1: pushed back, maybe just a little bit, because the promotion 734 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: was so heavy on this movie that if he wasn't 735 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: able to promote it in the same way, there's no 736 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: chance they're putting this out. You remember how many times 737 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 1: they delayed Top Gun to They held onto that movie 738 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: for like two years, and even at two hours and 739 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: forty three minutes, it didn't feel that long to me. 740 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 1: Now I was left wanting more in the sense of 741 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm ready for part two, But I felt like at 742 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: two hours and forty three minutes. 743 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 2: That was all I needed here. 744 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: It went by really quickly after it got started a 745 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: little bit slow in that opening sequence and then just 746 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: trying to establish a little bit of story at the 747 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: start of the movie. But after that it was pretty 748 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 1: consistent NonStop action throughout the entire movie and had one 749 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: of the best third acts and a blockbuster of this 750 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: level that I've seen. 751 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 2: There were moments that I was literally at the edge 752 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 2: of my seat. 753 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: Very rarely while watching an action movie, do I think, 754 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: are they gonna be able to do this? 755 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 2: Are they gonna be able to pull this off? Is 756 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 2: this the end for Ethan Hunt? 757 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: That is how I felt, and that is the sign 758 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: of a great action thriller. So for Dead Reckoning Part one, 759 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 1: I give it four out of five parachutes. 760 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 2: It's time to head down to movie. 761 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: Mike, Traylor, Paul, come with me and you'll be in 762 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: a world pure imagination. 763 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 2: Take a look and you'll see. 764 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: Yes, the trailer is out for Wonka and if you 765 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 1: know me, WILLI Wanka in the Chocolate Factory is a 766 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: top ten film for me ever since I was a kid. 767 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: Given the movie came out in the seventies, it's before 768 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: my time, but I just associated with my childhood and 769 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: I've always viewed it as one of the best movies 770 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: of all time. Gene Wilder is such an amazing actor, 771 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,879 Speaker 1: and what he did with Willy Wonka, I felt could 772 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: never be touched. And that is particularly the reason I 773 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,919 Speaker 1: did not enjoy the Tim Burton version with Johnny Depp 774 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: as Willy Wonka. 775 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 2: It was too weird and kooky. 776 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 1: I didn't like his approach to playing Willy Wonka, and 777 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: I had so many issues with that movie, the soundtrack, 778 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: the way they interpreted the songs, and where it really 779 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: just fell apart for me was the look of the 780 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 1: Oopa lupas and just using the same person over and over. 781 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: I just thought the whole thing was terrible. So when 782 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: I heard they were making a prequel to the movie, 783 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: I was hesitant because I didn't want to see them 784 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: do it again. I didn't want to see somebody try 785 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 1: to do what Gene Wilder did. I wanted somebody to 786 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,360 Speaker 1: come in with a fresh approach and make it completely different, 787 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: and I thought that focusing on a young Willy Wonka 788 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,839 Speaker 1: would allow me to be able to enjoy it and 789 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: not compare it to Gene Wilder playing Willy Wonka, And 790 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,760 Speaker 1: after getting the first look of this trailer and seeing 791 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: the way Timothy shallow May is going to approach Wonka. 792 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 2: I think I'm in on this. It felt magical to me. 793 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: This movie is coming out later this year, in December, 794 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be a hit. So 795 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: before I get into more of my thoughts about Wonka, 796 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,280 Speaker 1: here is just a little bit of the trailer. 797 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 3: I've spent the past seven years traveling the world perfecting 798 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 3: my craft. 799 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: You see, I'm something of a magician, invendor, and chocolate maker. 800 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 2: So quiet up and listen down. Scratch that reverse it. 801 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 2: So you're the funny little man who's been following me, 802 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,280 Speaker 2: I will have you know that I am a perfectly 803 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:11,919 Speaker 2: respectable size number one. Now allow me to refresh your memory. 804 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 2: Oh I don't think I want to hear that today. 805 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 2: I've started dancing now once we've started the constant. So 806 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 2: let's break down this trailer. What this movie is going 807 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 2: to be. 808 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: It is a prequel to the movie we all know, 809 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,320 Speaker 1: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and it is about 810 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: a young Willy Wonka played by Timothy shallow May. By 811 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: the looks of the trailer, it all happens as he 812 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: is just getting the idea to not even open a factory, 813 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: but just open a store. So it's way before he 814 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,240 Speaker 1: even has his own line of chocolate, and way before 815 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,320 Speaker 1: he even meets the Umplumpus and whenever. The first look 816 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,800 Speaker 1: of Timothy shallow May came out in the Willy Wonka costume, 817 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: I thought it looked pretty good, but now seeing the trailer, 818 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: I think the costume looks perfect. I even really love 819 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 1: the look of Hugh Grant as an oopa lump But 820 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 1: even though it is cgi, I'm glad they went back 821 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: to the classic look of the upa Lumpa and have 822 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 1: it looking as close to those original costumes that original look. 823 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:12,879 Speaker 2: I think that is going to be a big part 824 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 2: of it. 825 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how they approach the songs in 826 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: this movie, because you can't really do all the same 827 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,359 Speaker 1: songs from the original movie because it plays so much 828 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: into what happens throughout the factory. The only song I 829 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: could see them incorporating into this movie is Pure Imagination, 830 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: the one I was seeing at the beginning of this segment, 831 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: because I think it would be kind of a cool 832 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 1: approach to show how Willie Wanka got into singing. It's 833 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,800 Speaker 1: not really addressed in the original movie. He just burst 834 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: into song and out of nowhere, just has all these 835 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: amazing thoughts, like pure imagination. But you don't think of 836 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: him as a songwriter. You don't think of him as 837 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 1: the person who created these songs. He is just some 838 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: guy who is really eccentric and likes making chocolate. I 839 00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,479 Speaker 1: think it would be interesting to dive into the other 840 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: parts of his brain and maybe he does. 841 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:02,760 Speaker 2: Come up with songs. 842 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: Maybe there is some kind of origin story to the 843 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 1: musical side of Willy Wonka. To me, it almost feels 844 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: more like a fairy tale than the original. To me, 845 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: maybe because of this more musical aspect that it has, 846 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: and more being on the origin story of the character 847 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: rather than the contest and focusing on the kids who 848 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 1: come to the factory. It has this kind of Christmas 849 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: feel to it. And maybe that's just because I'm associating 850 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 1: it with the movie coming out in December, that it 851 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: just has this warm and fuzzy feeling to me that 852 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: gives me that kind of sense of the first time 853 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,840 Speaker 1: I watched it as a kid. It's gonna be hard 854 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: for me not to compare Timothy shallow May's performance to 855 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,879 Speaker 1: Gene Wilder. Just by watching this trailer, I think even 856 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 1: the first time I watched it all the way through, 857 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,719 Speaker 1: I felt a little off about it, especially in the 858 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: beginning part where he makes a reference to a gene 859 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 1: Wilder line that strike that reverse it, I think out loud. 860 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 2: I said to myself, Oh no when. 861 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,399 Speaker 1: I first heard that, because I felt that they were 862 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,240 Speaker 1: just going to take all the phrases and the mannerisms 863 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: from the first movie and just implant them into this prequel. 864 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: And I thought that would be a terrible thing to do, 865 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: because we would just be associating it with the original one. 866 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 1: From what I've seen, is almost a halfway point between 867 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,320 Speaker 1: what Gene Wilder did and what Johnny Depp did. Johnny 868 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 1: Depp was so quirky, and I think a lot of 869 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 1: that was due to Tim Burton's direction and the feel 870 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:31,320 Speaker 1: of his movies that was so weird and very cartoonish, 871 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: and Gene Wilder just had this really fown to earth 872 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: approach to it. And even though the Willy Wonka character 873 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,959 Speaker 1: in that original movie is a larger than life, very 874 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 1: out there character, you still felt he was somewhat grounded 875 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: in reality and could exist in this real world unlike 876 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,800 Speaker 1: the Johnny Depp version, And I think Timothy Chalomay's character 877 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,720 Speaker 1: in this entire movie will be somewhere in the middle 878 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,319 Speaker 1: because it looks like it will have some fantasy aspects 879 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 1: to it. You see the people floating after eating the 880 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 1: candy in this trailer, and also just the look of 881 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: the Oopa Lupas in this looks more like a mythical 882 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 1: character than it does in the original movie. So I 883 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 1: just feel like it has that whimsical Wonka feel that 884 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 1: I was looking. 885 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 2: For, and I just love the look of it more than. 886 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: I was expecting it to. Again, whenever you touch one 887 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,400 Speaker 1: of my favorite movies of all time, I'm always gonna 888 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,319 Speaker 1: be a little extra critical because I do think the 889 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 1: first movie is a perfect movie. Even with that cheer 890 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 1: up Charlie song in there that I always felt like 891 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: made the movie drag a little bit, I still think 892 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 1: the first one is a perfect movie. 893 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 2: And I'm also just not the biggest fan of prequels. 894 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,839 Speaker 1: It seems like a lazy approach to carrying on a franchise, 895 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,800 Speaker 1: but I think there was so much mystery behind Willy 896 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,360 Speaker 1: Wonka that we really had no knowledge of his previous 897 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,799 Speaker 1: life and you learned everything throughout the movie and had 898 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 1: no backstory whatsoever. I kind of like it that way 899 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: because makes that movie much more of a mystery and 900 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 1: makes them so much weirder. Really, the only look you 901 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 1: had into him as a person was at the very 902 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: end of that movie, when you're looking in his office 903 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: and it's this weird collection of items that are all 904 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: split in half. That is really the first look you 905 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 1: get at Willy Wonka as just the normal Willy Wonka 906 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 1: and not the one putting on this tour and being 907 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: a host. So I think if they can take the 908 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: energy of that scene and those characteristics and show us 909 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,320 Speaker 1: how we get to that, I think this is gonna 910 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: be a great movie. Again, this is coming out on 911 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 1: December fifteenth, later this year, So if you want to 912 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 1: view Paradise, simply look around and view it. Anything you 913 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,359 Speaker 1: want to do it, want to change. 914 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 2: The world, There's nothing true. 915 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 3: At that point was next week's edition of Movie by 916 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:56,799 Speaker 3: tram or Bar. 917 00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 1: I wasn't really trying to sing there as just one 918 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 1: of my favorite songs of all time. If I was 919 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: a gifted singer, that would be the first song I 920 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: would cover. 921 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,879 Speaker 2: What a great song. Anyway, that's gonna do it for this. 922 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 1: Week's episode of I just have to say that because 923 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 1: I know somebody's gonna say in the. 924 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 2: Comments, were you really trying to sing in that episode? 925 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 1: No? 926 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 2: I was not. 927 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: I just love Willy Wonka and I wish I could sing. 928 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,399 Speaker 1: I wish I could sing. But anyway, that is the 929 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,479 Speaker 1: episode for this week. But before I go, I gotta 930 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 1: give my listeners shout out of the week, and this 931 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,319 Speaker 1: week I'm going over to Twitter, which basically feels like 932 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 1: an elephant graveyard at this point. I probably pull it 933 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: up maybe still once, maybe twice a day, but not 934 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,359 Speaker 1: a whole lot of activity going on over there. I'm 935 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: much more of a threads person now, so if you 936 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 1: don't follow me there, I am at Mike Distro on 937 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 1: every single form of social media. I will add my 938 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 1: thread account to the episode notes as well. But this 939 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:54,480 Speaker 1: week's listener shout out is to Jenna Alexis, who reposted 940 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 1: and tagged me in an article that said over twenty 941 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,919 Speaker 1: thousand AMC stubs members have bought tickets to see both 942 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 1: Barbie and Oppenheimer on the same day and above it. 943 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,279 Speaker 1: In the tweet, she wrote, we need to know which 944 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 1: Mike Distro will be seeing first. So thank you Jenna 945 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 1: for that tweet, because I am so excited for both 946 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: of these movies going into this weekend of movies. I 947 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: was probably more excited for Barbie. That is the movie 948 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,240 Speaker 1: I put in my top ten anticipated movies of the summer, 949 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 1: and Oppenheimer was down there in the honorable mentions. But 950 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 1: through the last few weeks of promotion, which they haven't 951 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,440 Speaker 1: really joint promoted each other, they just both happen to 952 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 1: be Warner Brothers movies coming out on the same day. 953 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 1: And because of that and the fact that they are 954 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: just such opposite movies it's pink and black next to 955 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,280 Speaker 1: each other, it has really put them in the minds 956 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,360 Speaker 1: of everybody, which are you gonna see you first? Are 957 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,719 Speaker 1: you gonna see them both together? And the fact that 958 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,879 Speaker 1: this is the story I think is a great thing 959 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 1: for movies. The Barbie Oppenheimer double feature is the moment 960 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,280 Speaker 1: we needed for pop culture, and I really think Barbie 961 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,080 Speaker 1: has done the best thing with marketing that I've seen 962 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: in the last few years. Other great marketing tactics that 963 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 1: come to mind have been whenever Smile had the girl 964 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 1: out at the MLB Games doing the promotion, just standing 965 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 1: there looking maniacal. That is great movie promotion. Barbie has 966 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 1: done an amazing job at social media and just letting 967 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 1: everybody know that this movie is coming out. And Oppenheimer, 968 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,720 Speaker 1: on the other hand, hasn't really done a whole lot 969 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 1: other than being associated with it and coming out on 970 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,320 Speaker 1: the same day. So I hope both of these movies succeed. 971 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,880 Speaker 1: And to answer your question, there's a long way to 972 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,120 Speaker 1: get around that. But I'm going to see Barbie first 973 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 1: on the Friday it comes out, and the next day 974 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 1: I Am going to see Oppenheimer on Saturday in iMac 975 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,879 Speaker 1: seventy millimeter, which is the highest quality you can see 976 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: this movie. Here in Nashville, we just happen to have 977 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 1: one of the twenty IMAX theaters that are showing it 978 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,920 Speaker 1: in seventy and that's out of this entire country of 979 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 1: the United States, They're only twenty theaters showing it that way, 980 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,800 Speaker 1: so I'm very lucky to have one right down the road. 981 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 1: I actually believe that Christopher Nolan himself paid for this 982 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 1: location of Regal to have their IMAX theater fix to 983 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 1: be able to show it in seventy milimeters. 984 00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,280 Speaker 2: Because this movie is massive on film. 985 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 1: The Imax film prints are eleven miles long and they 986 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 1: weigh six hundred pounds, and it takes a special room 987 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,320 Speaker 1: and a special type of projector to show a movie 988 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 1: in this high equality because the room gets all hot. 989 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 2: Very few movies. 990 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,880 Speaker 1: Are shown like this, and I love seeing movies on 991 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 1: real film. It really adds a difference to me, and 992 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:44,719 Speaker 1: maybe just a bit of a snob when it comes 993 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 1: to the quality of movies, and any chance I get 994 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 1: to watch a movie being shown on thirty five millimeter 995 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 1: or seventy milimeter, I'm. 996 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,959 Speaker 2: All in on it. So thanks Jennifer that tweet. Thanks 997 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:55,840 Speaker 2: to you for listening. 998 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,000 Speaker 1: Let me know which movie you're gonna watch first, or 999 00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,560 Speaker 1: if you're gonna watch them both together. 1000 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 2: I hope you have a great rest of your week 1001 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 1: And until next time, go out and watch good movies 1002 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: and I will talk to you later.
