1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's Movie podcast, your 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: go to source for all things movies, and I am 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: your host Movie Mike, and today I want to talk 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,159 Speaker 1: about great movies that actually got bad reviews when they 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: first came out. Now, this is inspired by the new 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: Marvel movie The Eternals that came out over the weekend, 7 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: which I feel got reviewed bombed, and I'll talk about 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 1: what that is and why I don't like it, and 9 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: I'll get into my spoiler free review of that movie. 10 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,159 Speaker 1: I love Marvel, seeing all the Marvel movies, but I 11 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: will say at the start of this, wasn't that excited 12 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: for this one. So I'll let you know my thoughts 13 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: on that movie in the trailer park. We also have 14 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: another Marvel movie called Morbius with Jared Letto. We'll talk 15 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: about the Lady Gaga movie some controversy there. Thanks for 16 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: being subscribed and listening to the podcast every single week. 17 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: If you haven't yet, hit that subscribe button, hit that 18 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: follow button wherever you're listening to this right now and 19 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: without any further ado, let's get started. In a world 20 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one man 21 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners never before in 22 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: a movie podcast a man with so much movie knowledge. 23 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: He's basically like a walking Audien TV with classes from 24 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:16,839 Speaker 1: the Nashville Podcast Network Movie Movie Podagaster. So let's talk 25 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: about great movies that actually got bad reviews when they 26 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: came out. And these are all movies that we know 27 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: to be classics and would never say anything bad about 28 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: these movies. And if you heard somebody say anything bad 29 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: about these movies, you would question their judgment. Well, here's 30 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: the thing about critics, and I don't consider myself a critic. 31 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: I've said that on the podcast before. I am at 32 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 1: the heart of this podcast, just the guy who loves movies. 33 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: I started out reviewing movies on my Snapchat that moved 34 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: over to Instagram and it led to me wanting to 35 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: do my own podcast where I just talk about movies. 36 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: But I have no agenda here. Like I'm I am 37 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: in no way influenced by movie studios. I am in 38 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: no way trying to make these big, bold statements just 39 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: to get a reaction out of people. I'm literally, if 40 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: I were your friend at a party, I would tell 41 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: you about the movie. Is I like tell you about 42 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: the movies? I don't like. And I think depending on 43 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: the amount of time you've been listening to this podcast, 44 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: you kind of know what I end up liking and 45 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: what I end up don't liking and take that judgment 46 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: and you know, base what you want to see on yourself. Again, 47 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: we don't always have to agree on everything when it 48 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: comes to movies, and I don't expect you to listen 49 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: to this podcast and be like, oh, he got it 50 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: right on every single movie. But I'm just telling you 51 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: exactly how I feel, no filter. That's what this podcast is. 52 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: But when it comes to critics and why I don't 53 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: like them, it's sometimes I feel like critics just harshly 54 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: give these thoughts and give these opinions on movies simply 55 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: to just bash them. And I don't really like looking 56 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: at rotn Tomatoes reviews or IMDb reviews like the week 57 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: before or the week of that a movie comes out 58 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: that I really want to see for that same reason, 59 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: because it kind of influences me a little bit, like 60 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: seeing that number of what a movie gets. It's what's 61 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 1: called review bombing, and review bombing is when either a 62 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: large number of people are a large number of critics 63 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: just slam the movie and you go online you see 64 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: all these people slamming this movie. You're like, Oh, there's 65 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: no way that movie is good. I'm not going to 66 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: see it. But I feel like you end up missing 67 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: out on movies that you were maybe thinking about seeing 68 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: because of some bad reviews. That's why I think this 69 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: format of a podcast, hearing you know the thoughts about 70 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: the movie, everything the movie is about, you can kind 71 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: of determine for yourself whether you're not you want to 72 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: see it based on what I say. So that's why 73 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: I like having conversations with people about movies instead of 74 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: just reading a review. The movies lately that I felt 75 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: like really got review bombed were Suicide Squad and The 76 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: Suicide Squad, but also movies like Harley Quinn, Captain Marvel, 77 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: all movies that I left the theater thinking those movies 78 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: were amazing, and critics just slammed those movies for no 79 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: other reason that I felt that they just wanted to 80 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: give a movie like that a bad review. And a 81 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: lot of that is due now to the over saturation 82 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: of superhero movies, which I'll get into more when I 83 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: talk about the Eternals. But I was sitting here thinking 84 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: about this and wondering, you know what about when classic 85 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: movies came out, Like, what did people say about those movies? 86 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: I know there have to be some harsh reviewers on 87 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: movies that now we watch and no one love, and 88 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: it become either instant classics or cult classics or just 89 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: movies we watch around a certain time of the year. 90 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: But there was probably somebody out there shouting that this 91 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: movie was terrible. So I pulled some of the biggest 92 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: movies in cinematic history, and I'm gonna read you some 93 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: real reviews that these movies got. It's gonna get ridiculous here. 94 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: So let's start first in nineteen nine, one of the 95 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: greatest movies and all of cinematic history. I think when 96 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: I think of a movie, I usually think about this 97 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: movie in particular, because it changed cinema forever. And is 98 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: it The Wizard of Oz. We all know what it's about. 99 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: A tornado sweeps Dorothy and her dog Toto away from 100 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: Kansas to the magical land of Oz and she's most 101 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: meet these new friends and foes inter quest to get home. 102 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: Now to think about The Wizard of Oz, is it 103 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: really wasn't a box office success when it first came 104 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: out made about three million dollars, but it was like 105 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: a really expensive MOVI me to make at the time, 106 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: cost about two point seven million dollars, and that's in 107 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty nine. That would be a ton of money now. 108 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: And the film was originally about a loss of one 109 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: point one million dollars for MGM. But since then it's 110 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: gone on to be one of the best movies of 111 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: all time. And here is an actual review from a 112 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: publication called The New Republic. It says it has dwarves music, technicolor, 113 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: freak characters, and Judy Garland. It can't be expected to 114 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: have a sense of humor as well, and as for 115 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: the light touch of fantasy, it weighs like a pound 116 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: of fruitcake soaking wet. That is quite the slam for 117 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty nine, basically saying that this movie has no substance. 118 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: And I love that they called out the color in 119 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: this review. I think one of the best scenes ever 120 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: is when it goes from being in black and white too. 121 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: Being in color changed the way we watch movies. And 122 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: for all the special effects and the Wizard of Oz 123 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: at that time, all practical effects that they had to do, 124 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: it's amazing to me that somebody would slam them. But hey, 125 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: I guess you had to sell newspapers back in nineteen 126 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: thirty nine. Up next is Star Wars in nineteen seventy seven, 127 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: the first film released by George Lucas that went on 128 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: to create the most epic series sci fi saga in 129 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: all of film. So it's the first time you learned 130 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: about Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leiah, Yoda, the Galaxy 131 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: Far far Away. Clearly everybody had to love this movie, right, Well, 132 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: you'd be wrong. Here's a review from The New Yorker 133 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: from a writer named Pauline Kale, and the review is simply, 134 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: It's an ensemble of spare parts that has no emotional 135 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: grip and epic without a dream. Now I'm just gonna 136 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: speculate about Pauline here. I think she had something really 137 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: serious going on in her life and she didn't want 138 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: to write this review. I just couldn't imagine in nineteen 139 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: seventy seven and watching a movie like Star Wars, a 140 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: movie that I watched twenty plus years later after it 141 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: came out, and I was still surprised by this, Like 142 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: I still kind of baffled. Me how far ahead they 143 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: were in making that movie look timeless now. But I 144 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: think for at the time I'm that that movie came out, 145 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: it was incredible. I feel like the special effects still 146 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: hold up. And what do you mean about no emotional grip? 147 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: An epic without a dream? That movie inspired me to dream, 148 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: and I think that's what makes the Star Wars movie 149 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: is great is there's so many just random characters that 150 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: all work so well together. And a New Hope is 151 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: my favorite Star Wars movie. I think it's because you 152 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: see all these characters for the first time and you're 153 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: just bam put right into this universe. You learn about 154 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: it as you go, and you accept everything for just 155 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: what they tell you. I think maybe now people could 156 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: look back and not love Star Wars or feel like 157 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: it's a little bit overrated. I just don't know how 158 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: you give this batter review. Moving on now, jumping into 159 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: the nineties, Pretty Woman really the best romantic comedy of 160 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: all time, really set the standard for this genre. I 161 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: think it's also the most profitable romantic comedy of all time, 162 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: which we all know the story. It's a modern update 163 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: on Cinderella. Gotta prostitute a wealthy businessman, they fall in 164 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: love for each other. They're forming an unlikely pair, simple 165 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: as that. And here is a review from Time magazine 166 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,559 Speaker 1: by a writer name Richard Corliss, and it's a simple 167 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: takedown that says that no one has yet made a 168 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: romantic comedy in which, say, a toxic waste dumper falls 169 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: in love with the terrorist hijacker. But Pretty Woman comes 170 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: close to finding the least admirable characters to build a 171 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: feel good movie around. I don't know what movie they 172 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: watched now. I'm not the biggest Julia Roberts fan. I 173 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: really only like a few of her movies. Again, just 174 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: a personal preference for me, But I can't deny the 175 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: fact of how charming Julia Roberts is and how much 176 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: he just demands the attention when she's on the screen. 177 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: And I think that greatly shows in Pretty Woman. And 178 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: I think that's also what's so great about Pretty Woman 179 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: is it's not your stereotypical romantic comedy. There's so many 180 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: more layers of this. First of all, she's a prostitute. 181 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: Nothing about it feels forced in any way. I thought 182 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: the relationship was well developed throughout the entire movie, and 183 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: in no way felt like this movie was a waste 184 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: of my time when I first watched it, and I 185 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: think that's why this movie has held up so well 186 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: over the years and still regarded as one of the 187 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: best romantic comedies of all time. So, Richard, you got 188 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: that one wrong. Staying in the nineties. Next, one of 189 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: the biggest movies from Forrest Gump, the story of a 190 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: simple and kind hearted boy from Alabama falls in love 191 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: with his best friend Jenny, tries to save her as 192 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: he becomes witness to some of the most important events 193 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: in human history, and Forrest Gump is not just seen 194 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: as one of the best movies of the nineties, but 195 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: I think if you pulled most of America just has 196 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: seeing their favorite movies. I feel like a majority of 197 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: people would have this in their top five because it 198 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: has all elements of what make a movie great. You've 199 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: got drama, you've got romance, you've got a comedy, you 200 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: have special effects that at the time we're really hard 201 00:09:54,559 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: to do. And just realizing the magnitude of the things 202 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: they had to put into getting this movie made and 203 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: the scale of this movie. I mean, one of the 204 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: greatest sequences in this entire movie is for us literally 205 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: running across the entire United States, and we just watched 206 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: that as oh, it's you know, here's this one scene 207 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: he's on the East coast, and this next scene he's 208 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: on the West coast, and now he's in the desert. 209 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: But to think of how much they had to travel 210 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: to get all those shots, and that was really like 211 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: a crazy operation they did in secret to where they 212 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: would basically send a really skeleton crew to go and 213 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: film these scenes of just Tom Hanks running in these 214 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: different parts of the country, and it ended up being 215 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: one of the best parts of the entire movie. But 216 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: here is an actual review from Owen Gieberman writing for 217 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: Entertainment Weekly. It is glib, shallow, and monotonous, a movie 218 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: that spends so much time sanctifying its hero that, despite 219 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: his quote unquote innocence, he ended up seeming about as 220 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 1: vulnerable as Superman. I don't think they understood the movie, 221 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: and I can only imagine how this writer felt after 222 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 1: the movie went on to break all kinds of records, 223 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: one for best Picture. If twitter was a thing back 224 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: in and he tweeted that he would have clearly pulled 225 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: that down within about a few months. But also the 226 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: great thing about the Internet. The things you say last forever, 227 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: and there'll be some guy on a podcast talking about 228 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: them years later, keeping it in the nineties. Now, let's 229 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: move on to nineteen seven Titanic, which we all know 230 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: the story Rose and Jack falling in love on the 231 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: ill faded ocean liner. Now, you can say what you 232 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: want about the love story in this movie, but I 233 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: actually rewatched it fairly recently, and I always knew how 234 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: good of a movie Titanic was, but rewatching it now 235 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: that it was on Netflix, I realized just how much 236 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: of a piece of art this movie was. But here's 237 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: an actual review from The l A Times from a 238 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: writer named Kenneth to ron On. They said, what does 239 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: two million dollars by the three hour and fourteen minute 240 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: Titanic unhastily answers not enough, basically saying that this movie 241 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: was a waste of money. Back to my thoughts. After 242 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: rewatching this movie, I realized just how large of a 243 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: scale this movie was, from the massive sets, the cinematography, 244 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: the acting, and just a little intricacies that it took 245 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 1: to get this movie to that status. Yes, it is 246 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: a long movie, at over three hours. If you watch 247 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: this movie and owned it back in the nineties. This 248 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: is what we call a two VHS tape movie. And 249 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: while this review is criticizing the two million dollars spent 250 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: on making this movie, I think every dollar was well 251 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: spent because to me, this almost doesn't feel like a movie. 252 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: It almost feels like its own entity. And while it's 253 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: not completely historically accurate and it's more of focusing on 254 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: the love story, I feel like James Cameron did a 255 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,119 Speaker 1: really good job of kind of feeling like the Titanic 256 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: was well represented at this moment in history and creating 257 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: this movie to where we're never going to forget about 258 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: that ever again. You also just realize how great everybody 259 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: acted in this movie, from Kate Winslett to a young 260 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio, the acting, special effects, the costume design, the soundtrack, 261 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: and watching this movie, I also thought more of what 262 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: it takes for a director to get their vision right. 263 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: And when you see a review like this about something 264 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: that clearly was an entirely huge production, and it's not 265 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: just the director but everybody else working on this movie, 266 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: like that's a really hard thing to do, with a 267 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: really hard task to take on. So considering the money 268 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: on the line how long it took to make, and 269 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: how it stood the test of time. This review clearly 270 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: does not age well. And finally, I'll end with this 271 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: movie from fight Club, one of my favorite movies of 272 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: all time. Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, you gotta Underground fight 273 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: Club that evolves into much, much more. And here's a 274 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: review from Roger Ebert. He said fight Club is a 275 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: thrill ride masquerading as philosophy, the kind of ride where 276 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: some people puke and others can't wait to get on again, 277 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: basically saying that the movie is smarter than it thinks 278 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: it is. And this just takes me back to a 279 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: time where I got all my reviews from Cisco and 280 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: Ebert and it would come on at night. They go 281 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: through all the biggest movies and they greatly determine whether 282 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: or not America would go and see movies, which is 283 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: astounding to me. And I love that that's evolved from 284 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: being a primetime television show. So now there's all different 285 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: avenues where you can get your reviews. YouTube, this podcast, Instagram, Twitter, 286 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: that's everywhere now that we don't just have to listen 287 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: to two older guys give their opinions. I think Fight 288 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: Club is great. I think as a kid, I loved 289 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: it so much because it felt like something I shouldn't 290 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: be watching. But even now, I still love going back 291 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: to watch that movie, even though I know exactly what's 292 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: going to happen. It's still one of my favorites. And 293 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: I'll leave you with this is only my point for 294 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: doing this entire topic and how I've come to evaluate 295 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: whether or not I'm going to see a movie, which 296 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: has changed over time because now I do a movie 297 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: podcast where I have to see all the newest speakers 298 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: movies so I'm able to talk about them. But before 299 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: that I would read reviews. But at the end of 300 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: the day, if you want to see something, go see something. 301 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: That's the great thing about movies. We can both watch 302 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: them and have totally different opinions on them. And I 303 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: just love that debate. I love that back and forth. 304 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: You like the movie, I didn't like the movie, Let's 305 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: talk about it. The whole reason I do this podcast 306 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: is because of that. So I love it when you 307 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: share your opinions with me too on Instagram and Twitter. 308 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: Let's keep the conversation going, Let's keep movies alive and remember, 309 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: just because you see it written online doesn't mean that 310 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: it's true. Let's get into a movie review now, keeping 311 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: it spoiler free. Talking about The Eternals, the latest movie 312 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: from Marvel, racked up about seventy one million dollars over 313 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: the weekend, and I said, when this trailer first came out, 314 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: I wasn't too excited about it. I didn't really know 315 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: what it was going to be about when it first 316 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: was announced. Marvel is in its Phase four now, so 317 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: they're in a bit of a transition period of not 318 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: relying on the normal Avengers anymore. So I have a 319 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: lot of thoughts after watching The Eternals. But if you 320 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: haven't seen the trailer yet, here's just a little bit 321 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: of that. We need to find the others. I haven't 322 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: seen some of them for centuries. I hello, this is 323 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: what the end of the world looks like, pasically a 324 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: front row seats. You know what's never saved the planet? 325 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: Your sarcasm. We've loved these people since the day we arrived. 326 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: When you love something, you protected, all right, So let 327 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: me preface this review first. Is, first of all, I've 328 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: seen every Marvel movie, and I've talked about recently how 329 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: I haven't been that excited for Phase four of Marvel. 330 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: All my favorite characters are kind of in different areas 331 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: of Marvel now, and it's not ever going to be 332 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: the Avengers coming back anymore. So Marvel is in this 333 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: period where they're like, all right, we gotta look ahead 334 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: to the future. And I think earlier this year with 335 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 1: Black Widow got me excited again about it, and then 336 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: with Shane Chi that was really one of my favorite 337 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: Marvel movies of all time and unexpected hit for me. 338 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 1: But when it came to the Eternals, I felt like 339 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: they originally pitched this as kind of being the new Avengers, 340 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: this new team of superheroes that's going to go out 341 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: and save the world. And what the movie is about 342 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: is all these Eternals and it was their mission to 343 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: be on Earth and protect the Earth against these Deviants 344 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: who are basically these big monsters, and they were able 345 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: to keep them under wraps for years, and now this 346 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: movie takes place when the Deviants have returned and our 347 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: wrecking havoc on the world looking to destroy it, and 348 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: the Eternals us assemble again like one big family and 349 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: save the world. So let me start first of what 350 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: I did like about the movie. First of all, the 351 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: cast was the most diverse cast I've seen in any 352 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: superhero movie really any movie in recent history. And altogether, 353 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: when you put these characters on screen, it kind of 354 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: gave me vibes of the Umbrella Academy. It's all these 355 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: people with all these different superpowers. They have this history together. 356 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: They've basically been alive forever and they are all they 357 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: really know, and they've tried to go on and live 358 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: their own lives be normal humans as much as they can, 359 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: being at turnals. So when it came to the characters themselves, 360 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: I thought they were pretty good. But what I realized 361 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: upon watching this movie and I'm sitting there, it's almost 362 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: too many characters to focus in on, and I feel 363 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: like they never really each get their moment to shine. 364 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: And I kind of wanted to have just one centralized 365 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: main character to focus on, which they do in a way. 366 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: But I think that ended up being what kind of 367 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: kept me out of the movie is I never really 368 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: got emotionally, I said, with any of the characters. There 369 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: was kind of so many to focus in on, and 370 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: all the stories and the jumping from present day to 371 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: pass these flashbacks, I felt like this movie was trying 372 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: to be a little more emotional than it was building 373 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: up to be. And there were some really great moments 374 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: of action, these little bits of like all right here 375 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: these deviants and then really getting to showcase their powers. 376 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: I thought that part was cool. But this movie really 377 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: felt unlike any other Marvel movie I've seen before, and 378 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: I think they did that with you know, great purpose. 379 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: You bring in Chloe Jowe, who is coming off an 380 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: Oscar Win with No man Land and now directing this movie. 381 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: They were obviously going for something different, and her directing 382 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 1: style really comes out through the creative vision of This 383 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: movie feels unlike any other Marvel movie, and I feel 384 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: like this movie was a great set up for the 385 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: next movie, which is why I didn't like it that much. 386 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: It was hard to create this world of the Eternals 387 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: that somehow also exists in the world of all the 388 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: other Avengers, and I think I'm getting a little bit 389 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,479 Speaker 1: burnt out of all the references to the Avengers and 390 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: trying to keep that alive. Like I think Marvel just 391 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: has to move on from that. Stop referencing New York, 392 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: stop referencing the Avengers or anybody like in particular, just 393 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: be your own movie if you're gonna do that, Like 394 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: I get, you're trying to keep people like reminded about 395 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: all the good movies and all the Avengers, But for 396 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: this movie, I didn't want any memory of that. I 397 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: wanted to be fully into this, fully into loving these characters, 398 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: fully into getting to know them, and wanting to see 399 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: not only another Eternals movies, but maybe a solo movie. 400 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: And I again felt like no characters shine through to me, 401 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: and they were all pretty forgettable. So in a way, 402 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: I felt like this movie created a world too big 403 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: for itself. And by the time the movie started to 404 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: get really good and the action was the best, it 405 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: was already over. And my initial review that I posted 406 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: on Instagram is that my favorite part of the entire 407 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: movie was the first post credit scene, And I'll explain that. 408 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's because that was the only scene that 409 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: really made me feel like I was watching something enjoyable, 410 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: and I think it was the only time that the 411 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: movie had like a real fun vibe to it, maybe 412 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: felt more like a traditional Marvel movie, and it got 413 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: me excited for the next one. But I'm over these teases. 414 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: I need a really good movie now, and I don't 415 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: want to keep feeling like they didn't leave everything on 416 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: the table when it comes to superhero movies. And maybe 417 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: I'm also just a little bit burnt out on superhero 418 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: movies altogether. I found myself more and more just caring 419 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: less about the next Marvel movie. And that's coming from 420 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: somebody who like, these are my favorite kind of movies. 421 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: But here's what I'll say about The Eternals. I saw 422 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: what other people said about the movie. Whatever the people 423 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: thought about it. Some people love this movie. Some people 424 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: said they fell asleep during this movie, which I was 425 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: very close to falling asleep. It was also very long 426 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: and over two and a half hours. I felt like 427 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: that was ambitious for a movie like this. We're introduced 428 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: to all these new characters and trying to keep the 429 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: attention to people. I felt in this case it hurt 430 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: the movie because there were unnecessary scenes. There was unnecessary 431 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: parts to the story that didn't really need to be there. 432 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: In the end of it, it didn't really matter. And 433 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: don't go into it expecting the same kind of humor 434 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: as other Marvel movies. They're just not the same. I 435 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: don't think I laughed once during this movie. But again, 436 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: as I review this movie and talk about this movie, 437 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,719 Speaker 1: and just coming off of talking about review bombing, I 438 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: won't say that you shouldn't see this movie. And here's why. 439 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: After watching it and thinking more about it, I realized 440 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: that this movie just wasn't for me, But it's probably 441 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: for someone else, somebody who's really wanting something heavy into 442 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: sci fi, wanting to go back and kind of look 443 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: more at the origin of all these characters, is into 444 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: just being immersed in this whole new, big world. So 445 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: in no way I would ever say this is a 446 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: bad movie. It's not compared to other movies. It's already 447 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: a step ahead of anything else out there just by 448 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: being a Marvel movie at this scale. So I'm rating 449 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: this only on all the other Marvel movies I've seen 450 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: this year and in most recent history. I would give 451 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: this movie three out of five deviants. I do love 452 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: how ambitious Marvel was in creating something that's totally its own. 453 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 1: And maybe it's just that I'm not into big epics, 454 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: sci fi fantasy movies right now. As we saw that 455 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: I didn't really like Dune. For me, that just wasn't 456 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: enough to keep my attention there's very little into me 457 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: wanting to see another Eternals movie. But I also can 458 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: recognize that Marvel does have to progress. They can't just 459 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: keep making the same Iron Man four movies forever and never. 460 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: People are already getting burnt out by that. So they 461 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: have to create a world that's entirely different. And that's 462 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: why you hired this director, that's why you have this cast. 463 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: And with the seventy one million dollars and made over 464 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 1: the weekend, people are going to watch more Eternals movies. 465 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: What I think Marvel needs to do is kind of 466 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: change a little bit of not all these Marvel movies 467 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: existing in the same universe anymore, get away from the 468 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: little bit, let people who want to see Eternals movies 469 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: exist just in this world and keep it separate from 470 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: all the other movies. I think it gets a little 471 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: too oversaturated when you have all these movies kind of 472 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: crossing paths and one linking to the other. I think 473 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: I need to get away from that a little bit. 474 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: And I get it such a successful way to put 475 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: out movies because if you see one, you gotta see 476 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: the other one because you don't understand it. But I 477 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: think giving us the ability to just watch one movie 478 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: without having to know all that happened in another movie 479 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: in the way they connect. I'm a little bit over that. 480 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: Other times I will tell you that you shouldn't spend 481 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: your money, you shouldn't waste it on a crappy movie. 482 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's a crappy movie. So I 483 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: say on this one, decide for yourself. If you love 484 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: Marvel movies, you may get something out of this one. 485 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: And if not, just go YouTube that post credit scene 486 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: and watch that because that was awesome. It's that time 487 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: of the episode now where check out some movies coming 488 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: to theaters very soon. Let's break down some movie trailers. 489 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: It's time head down a movie, Mike. All right, we've 490 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: been talking Marvel here in the last segment, and now 491 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: there's a new Marvel movie called Morbius with Jared Leto 492 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: and it's another anti hero movie, so kind of in 493 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: the same aspect of Venom that came out the new 494 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: one earlier this year. Morbius kind of exists in that 495 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: same cinematic universe, and it's a character who has this 496 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: medical condition makes him unable to walk and goes off 497 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: to this other country for this experimental treatment. The treatment 498 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: ends up working, but it also turns him into a 499 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: half man, half vampire. So before we break it down, 500 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of the Morbius trailer. We 501 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: haven't anything this could sin set thing in San Francisco. 502 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: Anything to save a life, but I don't know where 503 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 1: I'm capable of. You save lives, you don't take off, 504 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: I don't. It's Dr Michael more. So here we go 505 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: another anti hero movie, which I'm kind of into. I 506 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 1: think if I had to lean more to a new 507 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: type of superhero movie that I'm enjoying more and more, 508 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: it's the anti hero, and that's somebody who you still 509 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 1: root for even though they do bad things. And in 510 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: this case, Morbus is a doctor played by Jared Leto 511 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: who saves people's lives and tries to do this tream 512 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: it to cure this rare medical condition he has but 513 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: turned himself into a vampire and had a vampire survive, 514 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: they have to drink blood from other people, so therefore 515 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: he has to kill people while trying to keep himself alive. 516 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: I think this is an interesting take on the comic. 517 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: It seems to stay pretty true to it, at least 518 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: from the trailer. They don't really reveal exactly what the 519 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: movie is going to be about as far as the 520 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: plot line, but that's basically what it is. What I 521 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 1: broke down from the trailer. It's existing almost in the 522 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: same world of Tom holland Spider Man. You see some 523 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: references in the back there of a spray painted Spider 524 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: Man with the word murderer over it, referencing the new 525 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: Spider Man movie coming out later this year. You also 526 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: have Michael Keaton in there reprising his role as Vulture, 527 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 1: which also existed in that Spider Man universe, and you 528 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: also have Tyrese Gibson in this movie. I'm curious to 529 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: see if a vampire movie like this works because I 530 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: think vampires can come off a little bit cheesy. Some 531 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: scenes in this trailer look a little bit cheesy. The 532 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: flying scene, I somewhat have to give myself into that. Okay, 533 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: he's flying now. I think where this movie may have 534 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: success is the actual shots of him looking like a 535 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: vampire with the teeth in the face. I think that 536 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: actually looks pretty cool. So I don't have the bar 537 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: set high on this one, but it is one I'm 538 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,239 Speaker 1: looking forward to coming out and that comes out at 539 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: the start of next year on January. Up next to 540 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: the trailer, park, let's talk about The House of Gucci, 541 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: which stars Al Pacino, Jared Letto, salmahai A, Jeremy Irons 542 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: and Lady Gaga and Adam Driver. This movie comes out 543 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: on November this year. Here's just a little bit of 544 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: that trailer. I have been life. There's an empire, you 545 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: can help. Famary is not exciting and everybody knows it. 546 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: At least that's my name, see ours name. So the 547 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: premise of the movie, it's said in Italy, spanning three 548 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 1: decades of love, betrayal, decadence, revenge, and it depicts the 549 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: events and aftermath of the murder of Maurizio Gucci, who 550 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: was an Italian businessman and head of the fashion house 551 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: Well Gucci, and that murder was by his ex wife, Patricia, 552 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: played by Lady Gaga. So what I liked about this 553 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: trailer is it kind of gave me good Fellows vibes 554 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: from the music, the wardrobe, the dialogue them tackling wealth 555 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: and also murder. I kind of get that vibe from 556 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: the trailer of this movie. And then you have some 557 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: really great actors. I mean heavyweights like al Pacinos, Almahiac, 558 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: Jared Leto, who looks completely unrecognizable in this role. Of course, 559 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: Adam Driver, who was an astounding actor, and then Lady Gaga, 560 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 1: who I surprisingly like now more for her acting than 561 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: I do her music, and she went all in on 562 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: this role, dived into it for three years, spoke with 563 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: an accent for nine months straight. I did see some 564 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: drama online of the woman she's portraying, saying that the 565 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: casting of Lady Gaga bothered her, which if you don't 566 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: know the story of her and what this movie is 567 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: portraying is she was convicted of a highly publicized trial 568 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,479 Speaker 1: of hiring a hitman to kill her ex husband and 569 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: she was dubbed by the Italian press as the Black Widow. 570 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: So I'm pretty excited for this movie, definitely on my 571 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: list to see in the month of November. But that's 572 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: gonna do it. For this week's episode, and every episode, 573 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: I always shout out to one of you who listened 574 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: tweet about the show, call it the listeners shout out 575 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: of the week. And I'm gonna do something a little 576 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: bit different this week. But if you follow me on 577 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: Instagram at Mike Destro. I put up a post I 578 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: didn't even know I was going to post. It was 579 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: a little bit vulnerable and speaking about anxiety and depression, 580 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: which is something I've dealt with since I was a teenager, 581 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: and it was all of the comments from all of 582 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: you guys also kind of opening up about how much 583 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: you've struggled with that too, and that really meant a 584 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: lot to me to go through all those comments and 585 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: read everybody kind of showing some support, showing that I'm 586 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: not alone in the situation, and sharing your own stories 587 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: of how you've dealt with anxiety and depression. That really 588 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: meant a lot to me.

I'm gonna get told it. 597 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: I don't need to do it anymore. There's just all 598 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: these things that kind of factor into dealing with anxiety 599 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: and depression.
