Speaker 1: a topic I haven't covered before. Documentaries. Five fascinating documentaries

Speaker 1: that I think you should see and why. I'll also

00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: get into my review of the new Val Kilmer documentary

Speaker 1: on Amazon Prime, a spoiler free review of Free Guy

00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: with Ryan Reynolds, and then some changes coming to HBO

10

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: the podcast every single week without any further ado, Let's

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: get started. In a world where everyone and their mother

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: has a podcast, one man stands to infiltrate the years

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: of listeners like never before in a movie podcast. A

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like a

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: walking AUDIMDV with glasses. From the Nashville podcast Networking is

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: Movie Movie There So a great documentary I think will

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: take you on a ride and sometimes change your perspective

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: on the world, depending on the topic of the documentary.

21
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes it exposes you to a world that you never

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: really knew existed, And for me, I think those are

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: the best documentaries. One where they can take something or

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: a topic or some kind of sport that you've never

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: really heard of, but they're able to present it in

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: a way like this is the most fascinating thing I've

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: ever seen. And there's also the ones that you know

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: are about things that maybe you heard about in the news,

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: maybe you read about and experienced, but you really don't

30
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: know the whole story. So that's why I love a

31
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: good documentary. And I think I've kind of been on

32
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: a documentary kick the last couple of weeks that I've

33
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: watched two new documentaries that came out, and I just

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: put together a list of five that I just found fascinating.

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: They're not necessarily the best documentaries ever, but I think

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: the topics they cover I found really interesting, and something

37
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: about these five specifically struck a chord with me, so

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to share these with you. If they sound

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: like something you maybe in you learning about or watching,

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: I recommend these, And then I'll also hear some honorable

41
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: mentions of other ones that I thought were somewhat interesting

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more specific in the different kind of topics.

43
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: Maybe not for everybody, but I would still say are

44
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: good documentaries because a good documentary, when done well, is

45
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: a very powerful tool. So first up, I want to

46
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: talk about wood Stock, Peace, Love and Rage, which just

47
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: came out on HBO Max this year pretty recently, and

48
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: it's the only music documentary I put on this list,

49
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: and I think one because it's a new one that

50
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: I think you should go watch right now, and also

51
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: because I really don't remember all the bad stuff happening

52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: that they showed in this documentary. And of course every

53
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: documentary they skew it a little bit. They focus on

54
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: one thing. They're essentially making a movie, so they have

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: their kind of perspective going into the movie. They know

56
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: what they want to showcase, and they know how to

57
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: invoke an emotion out of you through that storytelling. So

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: with any of these documentaries, you kind of got to

59
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: know that there is an agenda being put into making

60
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: it an entertaining piece as well as informative and getting

61
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: all the details in there. But I remember as a kid,

62
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: I was eight years old in n and watching the

63
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: footage from MTVS Woodstock, because they would always go out

64
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: and cover all these big concerts they'd have like spring

65
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: break things. I just remember those being an event on MTV,

66
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: and I don't remember them being as crazy and chaotic

67
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: as they described in this documentary. And after watching this,

68
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: I realized, Man, this was absolutely an insane festival. It

69
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: basically makes every Coachella Lallapalooza, even when I would go

70
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: to Warp Tour back in the day, seemed like a

71
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: Disney World compared to what went on in wood Stock

72
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: ninety nine. And the craziest thing I found about it

73
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: was that they were trying to recreate what wood Stock

74
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: was back just a few years before, and then the

75
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: original wood Stock back in nineteen sixty nine, but they

76
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: did it in a way that they took away like

77
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: all of those artists that invoked peace and freedom and

78
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: all the things that kind of embodied what you think

79
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: about Woodstock, just people hanging out, listening to good music

80
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: and kind of vibing and chilling out, and instead put

81
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: all the bands relevant to and it was a very

82
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: angry lineup when you think about it, from Limb Biscuit

83
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: to Corn and Metallica, and then you put all these

84
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: people and basically an airport hangar slash military base, and

85
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of people who have been there dehydrated

86
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: and going insane at this point, and just there for

87
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: some angry music. So you're going to invoke some chaos.

88
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: And I'll admit that parts of this documentary will make

89
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: you feel a little uncomfortable, and fair warning, since it

90
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: is an HBO title, there is a lot of nudity

91
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: in this. But what I think I loved about this

92
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: one and found itself fascinating because it really kind of

93
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: captured the turn of the century from to everybody kind

94
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: of bringing in the new millennium. And I feel like

95
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: this in a way showed how it was like a

96
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: last horror for music, the last time for people to

97
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: be absolutely insane without a whole lot of consequence. You

98
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: couldn't do a woodstock now, like it just wouldn't happen.

99
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't think people could handle it it. And also

100
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: I think from the festivals I've been to, like you

101
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: couldn't really put on something like this from a liability standpoint,

102
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: it just couldn't happen. But if you want to watch

103
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: that one, it's on HBO Max and free to watch.

104
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: I think if you're a fan of that era of music.

105
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: If you want to learn about something totally completely insane,

106
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: and parts of it will make you feel uncomfortable, I'll

107
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: just give you that warning. Due Next up on my

108
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: list is a documentary called The King of Kong A

109
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: fist full of Quarters, which came out at two thousand seven.

110
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: If you want to watch this one, I actually saw.

111
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: The whole thing is available on YouTube if you just

112
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: search that. And I love documentaries that take you inside

113
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: a world that you never knew existed, and this documentary

114
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: does exactly that. It's about this rivalry between these two

115
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: guys who are these gamers, and they are experts at

116
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: the arcade game Donkey Kong. So it's this guy Billy

117
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: who's basically the villain in this documentary, and then this

118
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: other guy, Steve, who you kind of root for to

119
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: beat Billy, and their whole rivalry is at the enter

120
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: of this documentary. And you never think something like playing

121
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: Donkey Kong on an arcade would be as competitive and

122
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: as intense as it is, but this documentary bruise greatly otherwise.

123
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: And now this is long before the days of Fortnite. Now,

124
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: you know they have big competitions in stadiums where people

125
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: make a lot of money. This was basically just bragging

126
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: rights for somebody to be so good at King Kong,

127
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: they wanted that world title. There's not a whole lot

128
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: of money and is there basically two of the biggest nerds.

129
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: And I say that coming from a nerd who just

130
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: love Donkey Kong. And you'll end up hating one of

131
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: the guys and really rooting for one of the other

132
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: guys as they both try to become the record high

133
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: score holders. And I won't ruin the documentary in any way,

134
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: but I just found from all the ones that I've seen,

135
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: this really has like the greatest rivalry that probably could

136
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: have been a movie on its own. So especially if

137
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: you're into gaming old school games specifically, I would say

138
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: check out a fist full of quarters. Next up on

139
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: my list is black Fish from back in and you

140
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: probably remember the impact that this documentary had. And for me,

141
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: a fun fact about me is that I love Orcas

142
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: and it all started as a kid. My family would

143
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: take family vacations to see a world in San Antonio

144
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: and from seeing Shamoo doing all these crazy tricks, from

145
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: seeing them work with the trainers, and you know, I

146
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: think that's what my love kind of developed for them.

147
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: And after I saw this documentary, I realized, like the

148
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: harsh conditions that they were in, they're not really meant

149
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: to be inside of these basically bathtubs compared to what

150
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: they lived like in the ocean. And it also just

151
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: really learned after watching this how intelligent Orca's actually are.

152
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: And I watched this one knowing that they, of course

153
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: we're making a film. They wanted to make something as

154
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: captivating as it could be, but also bring light to

155
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: a really serious issue, which you ended up doing because

156
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: it changed the culture of Sea World after this documentary

157
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: came out, the trainers were no longer allowed to be

158
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: in the water with the Orcas like they had been

159
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: doing all those tricks writing them that that was gone.

160
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: And I actually went to See World again after this

161
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: documentary came out for the very last time and saw

162
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: that change, and it was through me myself doing my

163
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: own research after watching this and learning more about or

164
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: because that, my love for them really kind of grew.

165
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: And it's insane how smart they really are and how

166
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: really just their majestic creatures. And I've never gone back

167
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: to See World since, so I do think this is

168
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: an important documentary to watch, and if you're like me,

169
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: you'll probably end up loving Orcas after this. And if

170
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: you want to do some research, well, there's a lot

171
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: of other videos you can watch on YouTube, and this

172
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: one's actually for you now to watch on YouTube as well.

173
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: But still like one of my bucket list items is

174
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: to go Orca whale watching and see them in their

175
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: own natural environment, their own natural habitat. And I still

176
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: love a great Orca YouTube wormhole or now like a

177
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: TikTok wormhole of people encountering them in the wild. So

178
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: one of my favorite animals, great documentary, very powerful, how

179
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: to put it on this list? Next up on my

180
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: list is Won't You Be My Neighbor? From eighteen And

181
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: even though Mr Rogers neighborhood was before my time, I

182
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: still remember watching reruns as a kid on PBS and

183
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: being just comforted by his calm demeanor and the puppets

184
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: and all the things that he would do. His sweater,

185
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: even just watching him take off in his shoes and

186
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: tie them was fascinating to mus a kid. It was

187
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: just like a big comfort blanket TV show. But as

188
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: a kid, I didn't realize how groundbreaking it was. The

189
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: stuff he talked about, the people he brought on his show,

190
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: and overall what he was trying to do to change

191
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: the world. And after watching this documentary, I realized like

192
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: Mr Rogers was a saint. And you see him as

193
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: just the clean cud guy with a sweater, but he

194
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: was really trying to make a change in kids lives

195
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: and put on this show as a way to talk

196
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,479
Speaker 1: to kids on a higher level. Really, and the documentary

197
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: explains how he never really talked down to kids. He

198
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: always talked to them like he was on their own level.

199
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: So it was really cool getting to learn his story.

200
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: And I remember being excited after I watched this for

201
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: the movie that came out with Tom Hanks, which is

202
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. And I think this

203
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: documentary is just far superior than that movie, mainly because

204
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: in that movie, he's not really the main character in it,

205
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: and it's more so the journalist who's doing a story

206
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: on Mr. Rogers. But if you really want to get

207
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: to know the life of Mr Rogers and how much

208
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: that show really changed programming for kids, I highly recommend

209
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: watching Won't You Be My Neighbor if you haven't seen it.

210
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: Yet just to be prepared with some tissues like it's

211
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: it's still a little bit emotional. It's not sad in anyway.

212
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: It's just great to see that there was somebody who

213
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: made such an impact on this world that even years

214
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: after he's passed away, we still kind of look at

215
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: this show was like, all right, that is how we

216
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: should be talking to kids, and not every show on

217
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: television has to be mindless cartoons. Basically speaking of mindless cartoons,

218
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: the final documentary on my list is called The Orange

219
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,119
Speaker 1: Years The Nickelodeon Story, which also came out in available

220
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: on Hulu. If you want to watch this one, and

221
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: if you're a nineties kid like me who grew up

222
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: with shows like Double dare all that the Nicktoons like

223
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: rug Rats, Rocos Modern Live like that is my jam.

224
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: I have Paramount Plus right now, and I love watching

225
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: all these old Nicktoons on there. It's again like my

226
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: comfort shows because I remember watching every single episode as

227
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: a kid, and I was always a Nickelodeon kid. There

228
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: was a kind of a divide between Disney Kids and

229
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: Nickelodeon kids, but it was something about Nickelodeon programming that

230
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: I identified more with because the network felt like it

231
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: was kids running it. From the little promos they ran

232
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: in between cartoons to the actual content of the shows.

233
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: It felt like it was kids writing these shows and

234
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: acting in them, and the live action shows. I never

235
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: felt like it was an adult pulling all the strings

236
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: and writing all the scripts and putting things on that

237
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: would be funny. From a different perspective, I really felt

238
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: like it was a kid run network. And I think,

239
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: after watching this doc menory, that's exactly what they set

240
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: out to do, and I think why I found this

241
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: one so fascinating, and I really love just the way

242
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: they formatted this one. They basically went through and go

243
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: through all of their biggest shows and the cultural impact

244
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: they had when they came out, and again kind of

245
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: like Mr. Rogers, a lot of that stuff was pretty groundbreaking,

246
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: from having live action shows made for kids and also

247
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: being like the network that first developed their own cartoons,

248
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: not just taking cartoons from other people. They were creating

249
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: their own cartoons in house. And they interview a lot

250
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: of the original cast members from these shows, and they

251
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: even get into the whole building of the Nickelodeon studios

252
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: and what that world was like. From the opening of

253
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: it to the closing of it, so it covers all

254
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: that stuff, and I think as a kid, I really

255
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: wanted to someday be on the Nickelodeon show, so it

256
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: was cool for me to see the behind the scenes

257
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: of it, and also how some of it wasn't all

258
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: that glamorous as we thought. So that's my list of

259
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: five that I found fascinating, and I think you should

260
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: check out. Of some of those sound interests to you,

261
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: and you haven't seen any of those yet, I would

262
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: recommend those. Some honorable mentions though, Free Solo, which is

263
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: on Disney Plus, which is about professional rock climbing. Again

264
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: another kind of world you really didn't know existed, but

265
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: when you watch this documentary you're completely sucked into. And

266
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: I also saw that they're kind of making not a

267
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: sequel to it, but there's a trailer for a new

268
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: documentary call of the Alpinist, which is about somebody who

269
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: takes what he didn't Free Solo to another extreme level.

270
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: Another great one is called The Perfect Bid, which is

271
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: about a Price is Right contestant who basically figured out

272
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,119
Speaker 1: how to win the show just by watching it episode

273
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: after episode and making a spreadsheet of all the prizes

274
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: and all the words like all that, but the crazy

275
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: kind of controversy that happened when somebody got a perfect bid.

276
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: Also got to mention one of the o G documentaries,

277
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: Supersize Me, and also the parody to that called super

278
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: High Me with Doug Benson, who basically does the same

279
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: thing he did with McDonald's food, but did it with marijuana.

280
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: And of course Worst the documentary everybody was talking about

281
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago, Firefest, the Greatest Party

282
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: that Never happened, Another mind blowing one. But I felt

283
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: like a lot of people have probably seen that by

284
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: now and that whole craze has kind of comeing gone.

285
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: But if you haven't seen that, one, still a good watch.

286
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's the list. If you end

287
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: up watching any of those, let me know what you think.

288
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: You can tweet me at Mike Destro or send me

289
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: an email movie Mike d at gmail dot com. Alright,

290
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: keeping the theme of documentaries, I do want to get

291
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: into a movie review of Vowel, which is available now

292
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: on Amazon. Documentary unlike one I've really ever seen before,

293
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: and I saw a lot of people talking about it.

294
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: So if you haven't seen a trailer of it, yet

295
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: he was just a little bit of the vowel trailer.

296
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: My name is Val Kilmer. I'm an actor. I've lived

297
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: a magical life. You have captured quite a bit of it.

298
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: I was the first guy in new to own a

299
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: video camera. Were filming or s. Yeah, that's really cool. Though.

300
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: I have thousands of hours of videotapes and film reels

301
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: that I've shot throughout my life and career. I will

302
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: keep it on until we reversed oh down. So this

303
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: is a documentary style that I've never seen done before

304
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: and maybe we'll never see again. It's about the story

305
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: in the life of Val Kilmer as told by him.

306
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: He made this documentary, and the amazing thing about it

307
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: is that he took forty years of never before seeing

308
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: footage of him filming his entire life. It's basically vlogging

309
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,359
Speaker 1: before vlogging was a thing. So Val Kilmer had a

310
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: YouTube channel back in the eighties and nineties and early

311
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: two thousand's and now this would have been his vlog.

312
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: And the other thing you might not know about Val

313
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: Kilmer is that he was diagnosed with throat cancer. He

314
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: was able to fight it, but as a result of

315
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: that he lost his voice, so he is not able

316
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: to speak. He does speak a little bit throughout the film,

317
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: but it's in places hard for him to get words out,

318
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: sometimes hard to understand, so he has his son basically

319
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: narrate the movie. So it's just really cool to see

320
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: all of this footage that he just happened to be

321
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: a guy with a video camera taking it on sets

322
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: with him from top Gun to Tombstone to Batman Forever

323
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: from the Doors movie he did, and you learn about

324
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: his life and you not only get to hear him

325
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: talk about it, but also see what he was like

326
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: during that time and the things he would see behind

327
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: the scenes. And I think the biggest takeaway, and being

328
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: completely honest, I never really saw or we think of

329
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: Val Kilmer as being one of the best actors of

330
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: our lifetime. He just really doesn't come to mind, even

331
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: with the great movies he has been in. If I

332
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: were to make a list of like ten or twenty actors,

333
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: he probably wouldn't be on the list. But after watching

334
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: this documentary, you'll kind of get a sense of like

335
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: how much he cared about acting. And that sounds weird

336
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: to say, but he really cared about the art of

337
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: acting and putting on a great performance, to the point

338
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: that I felt like it showed that directors didn't like

339
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: working with him for that reason, because he wanted to

340
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: get the character really specifically down to like, all right,

341
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: what's my motive here? How can I make this character

342
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: the best through my acting abilities. He didn't want anything easy.

343
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: And there's a movie specifically in this that he's working

344
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: on and that he has kind of a fight with

345
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: the director, and it's knowing that it's not because he's

346
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: a diva, it's not because he is wanting to be

347
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: difficult to work with. It's because he has a vision

348
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: for his acting. And you learn about his story of

349
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: going to Juilliard and being a basically a classically trained

350
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: actor but going on to being a very commercially successful actor,

351
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: and it's kind of that balance you play of, like

352
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: all right, do you want to do something commercial or

353
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: do you want to do something for filling. So I

354
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: think as a film fan, it's an interesting documentary to watch,

355
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: especially learning about especially when he talks about Batman Forever

356
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: and I won't ruin the kind of points that he

357
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: may about that movie, but he basically described that as

358
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: being the ultimate leading role and talks about his decision

359
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: not to do another Batman movie, even though he was

360
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: offered one. So I thought the documentary was very well

361
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: done and it's extremely personal. It's a little slow and

362
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: you have to get into it a little bit. Maybe

363
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: you split it up and watch half at one point

364
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: and watch half later, but nonetheless, it's really great to

365
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: see him tell his story and really makes you root

366
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: for the guy. I would give it four out of

367
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: five Batman suits. Joined now by my wife, Kelsey, How

368
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: are you good? We're about to get into a review

369
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: of Free Guy, the new movie starring Ryan Reynolds. If

370
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: you haven't seen it yet, here's just a little bit

371
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: of the trailer. Guy there's no reason way to say

372
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: this this world it's a video game, not real, please,

373
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: and the guy responsible for this world was going to

374
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: destroy it. You've met God? Yes, he's as rolls exist.

375
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: So Free Guy is basically at Ryan Reynolds character. He

376
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: is a background character in a Grand Theft Auto like

377
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: video game. He learns that and then basically has to

378
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: save his entire world from ultimate destruction. Is basically what

379
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: the movie is about. And I was really excited for

380
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: this movie and you weren't as much, but you ended

381
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: up liking it more than I did, Right, I did

382
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: just because I had zero expectations or it was one

383
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: of those that I didn't want to see, but I

384
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: just kind of go along with whatever you want to

385
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: see that week. And I think I kind of described

386
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: this movie as being a little bit of The Truman

387
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: Show meets Ready Player One meets Wreck It Ralph, because

388
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: he becomes self aware and he finds out that he

389
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: is living in a video game, and then there's this

390
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: whole aspect of people watching him from the outside world.

391
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: So you like that the fact that this wasn't a

392
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: remake of anything, right, Yeah, I just liked it for

393
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: its originality, which I mean you described that it's kind

394
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: of a m mash up of other things. But it

395
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: wasn't a reboot, it wasn't a sequel. I hadn't watched

396
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: the trailer. I just don't really watch movie trailers anymore.

397
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: I just kind of take your word for it. Okay, Well,

398
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: do you find Ryan rayl Ryan Reynolds to be funny.

399
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: I think he's hilarious on Twitter, but his movies, I

400
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: can't really think of the last thing that I saw

401
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: him in. I think he's pretty funny and I like

402
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: him as Deadpool, but I also kind of feel like

403
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: he's just become that character now and seeing him in

404
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: this movie, I felt like he was just doing the

405
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: Deadpool thing in a different scenario. And it is from

406
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: the same producers, but it's like Deadpool mixed with Buddy

407
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 1: the Elf basically left what you said he was like,

408
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: he was basically like Buddy the Elf. He was Buddy

409
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: the Elf in a video game. So I felt the

410
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: movie borrowed a lot from other movies. They even had

411
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: some references to other things that even though, like you said,

412
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't a remake, it didn't really feel like it

413
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: was ever its own movie to me. And I also

414
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: kind of wanted it to be bigger and a little

415
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: bit more fun because they were in this video game

416
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: kind of world where they can basically do anything. But

417
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: I felt like they held back a little bit. Aside

418
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: from like that opening sequence where it's like everything being

419
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: blown up and getting you know, the chase scenes, they

420
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: never really got back to that, and it could be

421
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: a thing like they didn't have the production value the

422
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: money to make it that big and expensive and crazy,

423
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: So I felt like, if you're gonna make a video

424
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: game movie that's original, go all out. And for me,

425
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: I found it a little bit cheesy at points, especially

426
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: when they came back to like the real life stuff

427
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: of like news coverage about the movie or about the

428
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: video game character. Like, I get it, you're creating a

429
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: fictional world, but it just felt a little unbelievable to me.

430
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's like making a dumb point.

431
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: I think it's reading more into it than I did. Okay, well,

432
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: I just found it. Also, I'm not the one of

433
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: the movie podcast. I just go along and watch things

434
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: for entertainment value. It was entertaining though it was fun.

435
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: I wasn't bored at all, but at one point I

436
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: just felt like I was ready for it to be over. Yeah,

437
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm starting to feel that way about two hour movies.

438
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: I used to think I wanted my money's worth of

439
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: a movie, and now like over like one forty, I'm like,

440
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: all right, let's wrap this up. This one was under

441
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: two hours, but I'm kind of under two hours. I know,

442
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: I'm just saying barely. I think for me now, when

443
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: I look at a run time, I wanted to be

444
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: under two hours even if it's an hour and fifty

445
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: nine minutes. I don't think I want to see an

446
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: over two hour movie right now. We saw Suicide Squad

447
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: in that was two hours and minutes, but that never

448
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: felt like it was two hours for me, Yes I did.

449
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: I feel like that was perfectly time. So I think

450
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: for a movie like this under two hours, I still

451
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: feel to feel like an hour and a half was

452
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: a little bit too quick, like unless it's a shorter

453
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: story that can be developed quicker, like when we watched

454
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: Joe Bo that movie only need to be an hour

455
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: and a half. I couldn't movie would have been sad

456
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: or if it was longer. But I just felt this

457
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: movie as excited as I was going into it, and

458
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: it's as cool as the trailer looked in the concept

459
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: was I felt like it missed in places, and I

460
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: also didn't feel like it was that funny, like I

461
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: felt like the humor was a little bit geared more

462
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: towards kids. I think kids would find it hilarious, like

463
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: your brothers would probably love this movie. Younger kids would

464
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: probably love it even though it's PG thirteen. I just

465
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: felt like it was marketed to somebody like me. But nerd,

466
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: a nerd who loves video games. But when you go

467
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: see it, I didn't feel like it was for me.

468
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: It was made for an entirely different audience. So that's

469
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: probably why I didn't like it as much. You ended

470
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: up liking it more than you thought. Yeah, so if

471
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: you had to rate this movie, what would you give it?

472
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: Three and a half out of five blue shirts? Blue shirts?

473
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: I would go a little bit lower. I'd go three

474
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: out of five. Gamer tags super nerdy ring gamer tags.

475
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means. It's your your

476
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: name when you play video games online. I don't like

477
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: you user name. Yeah, like you use your name gamer

478
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: to egg. Your brothers played video games all the time.

479
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: You don't know what a gamer tag is? No, because

480
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: I tune out when they talk about their video games. Okay, well,

481
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: I think the movie will end up doing pretty well

482
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: among younger audiences. And I saw Ryan Reynolds did say

483
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: on Twitter that it's probably going to get a sequel,

484
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: so I don't think. I don't think I'm in for it.

485
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: Would you watch Free Guy too? If it was free

486
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 1: it was? Literally? Okay, so that is the we thing

487
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: about Free Guy? All Right, let's get into some movie

488
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: news now, Warner Brothers announced some changes of the way

489
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: they put out movies on HBO Max, which kind of

490
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: bums me out. And the greatest thing about HBO Max

491
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: right now is that once a movie comes out in theaters,

492
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: it's available same day to watch on streaming. But I

493
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: guess they struck a deal with AMC Theaters and now

494
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna wait forty five days after it comes out

495
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 1: in theaters to be on their streaming services, which I

496
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: think greatly takes way of the appeal of wanting to

497
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: get HBO Max. That was basically the biggest deciding factor

498
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: of me after the first time I turned off my

499
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: HBO Max and got it back, because all these movies

500
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: were coming out this year, and that was an important

501
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: thing for me to be able to choose which movies

502
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to pay to see on the big screen

503
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: and which ones I could probably just watch at home.

504
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: But it looks like starting in it will have that

505
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: forty five day window, kind of how Paramount plus is

506
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: now to wear any movie that they have, it's gonna

507
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: be a while before you get to see it at home,

508
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: and I feel this kind of takes away that appeal

509
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: and it's kind of and I feel like this is

510
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: basically like at the same time you would go by

511
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: the Blu ray for it, it's just when it's available

512
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: back at home and taking away from people having that

513
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: ability to make a decision where they want to watch

514
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: a movie. And I get that we're still living in

515
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: a pandemic now and we don't really know how it's

516
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: going to be for the rest of the year for movies.

517
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: Even though I did see A Free Guy ended up

518
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: doing pretty well at the box office, made more than

519
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: a thought. So by next year, maybe this whole plan

520
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: for everybody having same day releases really goes away and

521
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: we see it more and more with people fighting back

522
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: about this happening. So if you have HBO Max and

523
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: are loving that feature, just know next year it's going

524
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: to change unless something else happens between now and then

525
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: up next. In movie news, Sylvester stallone he's now topped

526
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: the box office six decades in a row. That's right,

527
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: six decades in a row because he was just in

528
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: Suicide Squad. He voiced and acted as King Shark that

529
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: landed him a number one at the box office for

530
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: six consecutive decades and He's put out forty six movies,

531
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: nearly half of them going number one, which is a

532
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: big deal for any actor, and I think he's somebody

533
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: who doesn't get a whole lot of credit from the

534
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: Rocky movies, from Rambo, from Cliffhanger, and then him kind

535
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: of having his resurgence in The Expendables and now doing

536
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: King Shark in the Suicide Squad. So shout out to

537
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: Salivester Stallone, and finally up in movie news, Sony has

538
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: pushed back the theatrical release date for venom Let there

539
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: Be Carnage was supposed to come out on September, but

540
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: now we'll hit theaters on October. And this is really

541
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: the only movie I've seen delayed again since everything kind

542
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: of got back on schedule. We're all going to the

543
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: movies again. So on the other end, Marvel hasn't announced

544
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: any other delays in their movies. The Legend of the

545
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: Ten Rings is still as of now, it is supposed

546
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: to come out on September three. So if both of

547
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: those movies are able to come out and nothing else changes,

548
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: hopefully that means that Spider Man No Way from Home

549
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: is still going to come out on December seventeen. I've

550
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: really been waiting to see this movie. I'm tired of

551
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: hearing all the fan theories and watching all the things

552
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: that this movie is supposedly supposed to be about. We

553
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: also haven't even got a trailer for this movie yet,

554
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: which is pretty crazy to me at this point to

555
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: not know anything about what it's gonna be like or

556
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: look like, which is crazy for me that we really

557
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: have no idea what this New Spider Man movie is

558
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: gonna be like. But I'm excited for it. Hope it

559
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: comes out on time. But that's gonna do it. For

560
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: this week's episode, I usually do a listener shout out

561
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: at the end of every single episode, but for this week,

562
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: I just wanted to shout out you specifically who are

563
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: subscribe to this podcast and have been listening every single week,

564
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: some people from the very beginning. I actually put up

565
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: this message on Twitter and Instagram that I've been seeing

566
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: just a lot of comments over the last month or so.

567
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: I think it all started when the Bobby Bones show

568
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: went on vacation and we didn't have any new episode

569
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: of that show for a while, and I saw a

570
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: lot of people come over here and check out this podcast.

571
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: For the very first time in a comment I see

572
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: a lot in regard to the podcast. It's like, Hey,

573
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: I'm surprised it's actually good, and I get it. I

574
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: don't talk a whole lot on the Bobby Bones Show.

575
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: Even when I'm on the Bobby Cast. I say a

576
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: few words here and there. It's not really my thing

577
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: to talk there. I like to talk about things that

578
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm passionate about and I know a lot about. And

579
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: I think that's why this podcast has had some success

580
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: because it's kind of my vehicle for that. If I'm

581
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: able to bring a subject or a topic on that

582
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: I know things about, I could talk for as long

583
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: as I do want or it's the only place that

584
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: I can do that. So for anybody who's come over

585
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: because of that, and also to all those who have

586
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: just been with me from the very beginning, and then

587
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: some people who just are looking for movie recommendations and

588
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast really appreciate that. So any new

Speaker 1: might not take all my recommendations because and I don't

593
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: expect you to. I'm just the guy who loves movies.

594
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't consider myself a movie critic. I just want

595
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: to talk to you and share with you my passion

596
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: for movies and what I think about all this stuff.

597
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: So listener, shout out of the week is to every

600
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: special episode. I have a story artist from Pixar, the

601
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: guy behind a lot of movies like the toy story films,

602
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: up rat A, TUOI, Monsters, Inc. He's worked on all

603
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: these movies. He's created the stories for these movies. He's

604
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: basically the guy responsible for making you cry and all

605
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: these movies like you know that opening scene and finding Memo.

606
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: He's the guy behind that. So we're gonna go through

607
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: and break down a bunch of the Pixar movies. It's

608
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 1: gonna be a great episode if you're a fan of Pixar,
