Welcome to 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: movie Mike's movie podcast, where all I do is talk 3 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: about movies every single week. And I probably picked the 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 1: worst year to ever start a movie podcast, as we 5 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: kind of saw that pretty much everything has been delayed 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: until so I gotta say I'm coming from a bit 7 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: of a point of sadness on this episode. But what 8 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: makes me happy Tom Hanks makes me happy. So this 9 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: week I'm talking all about Tom Hanks. I'm gonna do 10 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: his best and worst movies of all time. He's one 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: of the highest grossing actors of all time, so we 12 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: have a lot of movies to work with. I asked 13 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: a bunch of you guys on Twitter took your opinions, 14 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: so we'll dive right into that list. I'm also going 15 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: to review his latest movie called Greyhound, which is available 16 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: on Apple Plus, and I will say it will make 17 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: one of the list. It will either make the best 18 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: or the worst, So find out what happens with that one, 19 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: and then I'll also get into a little bit of 20 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: sadness of why every single movie has pretty much been 21 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: delayed Untie, and we'll talk about that.

If you haven't done that yet, 37 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: it really takes like fifteen twenty seconds, I promise, and 38 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: helped me kind of beat out all the other movie 39 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: podcasts in the category because I'm trying to climb up there. 40 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm getting closed. So that means a lot to me, guys. 41 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: So without a further ado, let's get started in a 42 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: world where everyone and their mother has a podcast, one 43 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like never 44 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: before in a movie podcast. A man with so much 45 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking glass from the 46 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: Nashville Podcast Network. Alright, so today we're talking about Tom 47 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: Hanks his best and worst movies of all time. I 48 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: asked a bunch of you guys on Twitter what you 49 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: guys thought were his best and worst, and I have 50 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: to say I think I was more surprised at what 51 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: everybody thought was the worst, because I think we can 52 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: all agree that Tom Hanks is probably one of the 53 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: most beloved actors of our lifetime, one of the most iconic. 54 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: So before we get into the best and worst, I 55 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: just want to talk about why he is so beloved 56 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: and iconic. I think it was really the nineties that 57 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: made Tom Hanks. There really wasn't a bad movie he 58 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: put out in the nineties, and they were just so 59 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: career defining. He ended up winning two Best Actor Awards 60 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: in the nineties and back to back, which is a 61 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: really hard thing to do. So I felt like that 62 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: kind of cemented him as being a go to actor, 63 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: and at one point he was just the highest grossing 64 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: box office star of all time, meaning that any movie 65 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: he would put out, it was a guaranteed hundred million 66 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: dollars in the United States, So a really just bankable actor. 67 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: And I think all those factors kind of combined to where, 68 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 1: you know, he has the box office numbers, he has, 69 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, the characters we love, he has the movies 70 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: we love, and then he just seems like an overall 71 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: nice guy, like just aside from being an actor, he 72 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: seems like a great human, a great person. And even 73 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: just like looking at him this year, you know, he 74 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: was the first person who kind of once he got coronavirus, 75 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: made it very real for everybody, so it kind of realized, like, 76 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: oh man, we really love Tom Hanks. It would be 77 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: sad to ever lose him. And I think even that 78 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: just kind of opened our eyes up even more of like, 79 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: oh man, he's one of the greatest of all time. 80 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: So all those factors I'm kind of putting into play 81 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: of what makes a great Tom Hanks movie. So I 82 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: put the question out. I had kind of my list going, 83 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: and I kind of adjusted it a bit, mainly because 84 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: the ones you guys thought were the worst. So if 85 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: you don't follow me on Twitter, always go over there 86 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: and check, because I'll usually throw the topic out there 87 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: at Mike Destro just so you can get kind of 88 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: involved in these lists. Two because I really like to 89 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: see what you guys think and it influences how I 90 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: kind of build the episode. So first of all, let's 91 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: just get into the best, because I feel like I 92 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen a bad Tom Hanks movie, 93 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: maybe until the last couple of weeks, but even a 94 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: bad Tom Hanks movie is still a pretty good one. 95 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: But when you watch a good one, I think it's 96 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: because it gives you overall really good feeling and overall 97 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: just watching something that you haven't seen before or in 98 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: a way that you haven't seen it, if that makes sense. 99 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: So I think that's kind of why his movies from 100 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: the nineties are really like the biggest and most memorable. 101 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: So we'll start with my number five Tom Hanks movie, 102 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: and one a lot of you guys twoted about two 103 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: was cash Me. If you can now it's Tom Hanks 104 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: and Leonardo DiCaprio, probably the greatest time they've ever been 105 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: together on the screen. So really, two iconic great actors 106 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: in one movie, and I really feel like there are 107 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: maybe five major movie stars left, meaning that as long 108 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: as their name is attached to a movie, you will 109 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: probably go see it. And Tom Hanks is one of them, 110 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: and Leonardo DiCaprio was one of them, So have them 111 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: both in a movie kind of early on, I'd say 112 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: more in Leonardo's the Caprio's career that came out like 113 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: two thousand two, so for him it was already a 114 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: big deal to be in this movie. And then Tom 115 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: Hanks having a minute. I think they were really kind 116 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: of cool together, and even that you don't really see 117 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: them on screen a whole lot. I think that kind 118 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: of made a kind of anticipation in the movie to 119 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: where it's kind of you get Tom Hanks's performance and 120 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: then you also get Leo's performance, and both together kind 121 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: of battling each other. I thought was a really cool, 122 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: kind of cat and mouse type movie. So that's why 123 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: I really loved that movie. And I think it's one 124 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: that when I first watched it kind of blew my mind, 125 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: just kind of knowing that that actually really happened. And 126 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: even Tom Hanks character in that movie wasn't based on 127 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: a real person. It was based on a collection of people, 128 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: so they were all these other different kind of detectives 129 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: kind of in real life trying to find Leonardo DiCaprio's character, 130 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: and they kind of embodied them into one into Tom 131 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: Hanks playing that person. So it was the collection of 132 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: all their stories and I thought worked really great together. 133 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: So I had to put that one at number five. 134 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: At number four, I feel is a bit of a 135 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: kind of sleeper pick for Tom Hanks. It's one that 136 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: I feel people don't really talk about enough. But when 137 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: it comes to what I like in a movie, like 138 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: my favorite kind of like okay, you're gonna give me 139 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: with that no matter what. Is a movie set back 140 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: in the day, like in the fifties or sixties, and 141 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: then a movie that has music into it and then 142 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: you throw Tom Hanks in there, and it's probably gonna 143 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: be a great movie no matter what. So I put 144 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: at number four. Is that thing you do? And I 145 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: feel it's a little bit underrated because maybe it's not 146 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: a full on Tom Hanks movie where he's not the 147 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: complete lead actor. But I feel without having Tom Hanks 148 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: in that and behind that movie, it really wouldn't have 149 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: worked and been so iconic. So Tom Hanks actually has 150 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: a production company now called Playtone, which is from this 151 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: movie that he has a record label in this movie 152 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: called Playton Records. I think what I liked about this 153 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: movie was Tom hanks performance where he's not really a 154 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: straight up nice guy which he usually plays, and this 155 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: is when he goes and he's playing a manager who 156 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: is kind of slimy in a way because he does 157 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: sign the band The Wonders in this movie to get 158 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: him their big break and gives them like, Okay, you're 159 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: gonna do a recording contract, you're gonna go on door, 160 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: You're gonna be the biggest band in the world with 161 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: this number one singles that I think you do. And 162 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: then he kind of does turn on him in a way, 163 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: which is I feel it's kind of a pretty good 164 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: depiction of what actually happens in the music business in 165 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: a manager, like Okay, once you're not popular anymore, I'm out, 166 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: You're done. The band is broken up. So I really 167 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: liked him in this movie. I feel it's an underrated pig, 168 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: but I would have to put it in my top 169 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: five because I feel it's one that I just like 170 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: to go back and watch no matter what. At number three, 171 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to put Forrest Gump. But a lot 172 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: of people put this one as their favorite on Twitter. 173 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: But I feel like, while it's a great movie all 174 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: on its own, I don't feel it's like my favorite 175 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: performance from Tom Hanks, even though he won Best Actor 176 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: for this one wanted back to back of years. I 177 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: just feel like, overall the movie, it's bigger than itself. 178 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: It's bigger than Tom Hanks. I just feel like, while 179 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: the movie was so big, I feel like the story 180 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: was just so strong, and there was even other people 181 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: consider for the role of Forrest Gump. I almost feel 182 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: like you could have put in another great actor and 183 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: it's still a bit a pretty good movie. So I 184 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: feel even without him the movie works, but with him 185 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: it's that much better, if that makes sense. So I'm 186 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: not denying he didn't do great and didn't deserve the 187 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: Oscar for it. I just think this isn't his defining movie, 188 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: and I feel that kind of stands because he's not 189 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: really just known as Forrest Gump. Now. He did this 190 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: movie and he went on to do even bigger movies, 191 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: and this movie I felt never really define him. You know, 192 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: there's some actors outside that you really only know them 193 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: for one role, their major role, and that could have 194 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: been Tom Hanks. That could have been he did this movie, 195 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: won the Oscar, and the rest of his career he 196 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: was just known as for his Gump. He really never 197 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: had to deal with that. Nobody sees him and just 198 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: automatically shouts for his Gump quotes at him. They see 199 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: him and just think Tom Hanks, the movie star. So 200 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: I put this one as number three because it is 201 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: a great movie. It's a movie I'll probably watch any 202 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: time it's on at least for like ten or fifteen minutes. 203 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: But I just feel and making my list, I couldn't 204 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: put it any high or and you know, feel good 205 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: about myself after that Batters or anything. But yeah, putting 206 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: it at number three. At number two, I'm gonna go 207 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: with Toy Story, and I'm gonna kind of include the 208 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: entire franchise in this because you have four movies under 209 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: Toy Story And I just think that Tom Hanks as 210 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: a voice actor is just so incredible and shows you 211 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: how important voice acting is. And I have a bit 212 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: of a problem with, you know, having big celebrities doing 213 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: voices and movies because I feel it's such an art 214 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: that kind of goes away when you put out movies 215 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: now because you want that movie star power. You want 216 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: to say like, oh, you have all these A list 217 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: actors in an animated movie, and you sell it as 218 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: that instead of being like, Oh, let's actually find really 219 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: great people with really great voices who can make these 220 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: characters come to life and be bigger than themselves. Instead 221 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: of just throwing like Tom Cruise in there voicing a 222 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: crab shell or something, you know, it's something more than 223 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: just voice acting. I feel like it's kind of like 224 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: a lost art in a way, and people just like, oh, yeah, 225 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: it's voice acting. I go into a booth and don't 226 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: have to really act. But Tom Hanks as Woody is incredible. 227 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: Like he has such a dynamic voice, which I feel 228 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: it's undeniably Tom Hanks. Every time you hear Woody, whether 229 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: it's the laugh, whether it's the high pitch kind of 230 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: shrills thing he does, there's just something about his voice 231 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: that I feel like Tom Hanks could have been a 232 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: straight up voice actor and had a really great career. 233 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: And not only that, but I feel like with every 234 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: single Toy Story movie, it's kind of taking you on 235 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: a journey and then kind of bringing them back later 236 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: after the original ones with Part three. In Part four, 237 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: I felt like, me, he's watching those as a kid 238 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: and now watching them as an adult. It's like, oh, 239 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: you kind of grew up with Woody and seen him 240 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: kind of transform over the years. But the thing that 241 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: stays consistent is that Tom Hanks is still really great 242 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: at it, and I just feel like without him, those 243 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: movies wouldn't have been the same. And it just gives 244 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: me some kind of feeling hearing him voice the Cowboy characters. 245 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: So I had to put it at number two. Before 246 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: I get to number one, I gotta throw some honorable 247 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: mentions that a bunch of you guys posted on Twitter, 248 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: and I don't want to deny it or have somebody 249 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: come at me later like, oh you forgot this movie. 250 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: There are a bunch of great Tom Hanks movies. I 251 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: think that's why this kind of topic makes And so 252 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: if I forget your favorite, dond come yelling at me 253 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: on Twitter. But some honorable mentions you gotta go with. 254 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: So you also got to throw in their Philadelphia, which 255 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: he also won an Oscar for Best Actor in that movie. 256 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: You Gotta Paul thirteen saving Private Ryan the Green Miles 257 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: Sleepers in Seattle, You've got Mail, which has a whole 258 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 1: other genre for Tom Hanks. He's a really great romcom actor, 259 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: so I won't let that go unnotice. You gotta throw 260 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: that in there. He's really great in the nineties rom Colm. Again, 261 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: just talking about that range that he has. At number one, 262 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 1: I feel it's a really clear, easy winner. I'm going 263 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: with A League of their Own. I think here you 264 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: get a great range of Tom Hanks being funny and 265 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: also being a serious actor and has arguably one of 266 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: my favorite Tom Hanks movie quotes of all time. Are 267 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: you crying? There's no crying. There's no crying in baseball, 268 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: there's not crying, fall no cry. Is there anything else 269 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: I really need to say about A League at their Own? 270 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: It's just the classics, such a great cast, such a 271 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: great story set back in the day, which I love. 272 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: There's not a bad thing I can say about this movie. 273 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: So I put it at number one, hands down. Nothing 274 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: else even comes close. And then of course you gotta 275 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: throw in his eighties movies, his iconic performance and Big 276 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: and then you got The Burbs. So again, all those 277 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: are great Tom Hanks movies. If I left any out. Well, 278 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: maybe that's because they make the upcoming list of this 279 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: worst movie. So we'll get into that next. Alright, so 280 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: we talked about the best, Now let's talk about the worst. 281 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: Let's say this is where it gets interesting. So the 282 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: one I was most surprised about, I'm gonna just say 283 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: that I don't agree with. But I had so many 284 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: tweets saying that this was the worst Tom Hanks movie 285 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: that I was surprised by it, and I had to 286 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: put it here just because of the response. But I 287 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: am going to defend this movie. The number one worst 288 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks movie that I got was cast Away. And 289 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is that people didn't like 290 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: about this movie. What you guys thought was bad about it? 291 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: I guess maybe just because it's Tom Hanks strand on 292 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: an island for pretty much the duration of the movie. 293 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: It could feel slow, it could feel boring. Maybe you 294 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: just don't like the ending. But I just really love 295 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: this movie because it is just Tom Hanks on an island, 296 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: essentially going crazy, losing his mind, performing dental surgery on himself, 297 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: befriending of volleyball, and then losing it in the ocean 298 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: and apologizing to a volleyball. I think it's just an 299 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: iconic role that an actor like Tom Hanks could only 300 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: pull off because it is essentially a one man show. 301 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: And maybe you don't like the ending, which I could 302 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: kind of see that when there's an ending that doesn't 303 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: really give a whole lot of resolution, or it kind 304 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: of just ends like, oh well, all right, that's his 305 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: life now, you don't really know where it goes from there. 306 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: I guess he could feel a little bit cheated by that. 307 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: But just by the numbers, it ranks as the number 308 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: five highest grossing Tom Hanks movie at all time, with 309 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: two d and thirty three millions, so undeniable that it 310 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: is a great movie, made a bunch of money. But 311 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: I guess some people just don't like this one, so 312 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: I don't agree with it, but I'll accept putting it 313 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: into the worst Tom Hanks movies. It just really kind 314 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: of opened my eyes to that, all right. Next up 315 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: with the most votes went to The Terminal, which I 316 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: feel is another kind of along the same lines of 317 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: cast Away. Maybe the premise just wasn't strong enough for 318 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: people to really enjoy, which I thought it was pretty unique, 319 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: and I do think this is kind of where Tom 320 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: Hanks started to, you know, kind of try some different things, 321 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: try to take on some different roles, and you know, 322 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: his early two thousands movies maybe get a little away 323 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: from which you kind of go and expect to see 324 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: from a Tom Hanks movie. So it's kind of interesting 325 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: that all these kind of fall in this period of 326 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks. But again, I kind of don't agree with 327 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: this one either. I like Tom Hanks and this one. 328 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: I enjoyed the interesting concept to this one. It's Tom 329 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: Hanks stranded in an airport. Movie still makes you feel good. 330 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: Maybe the cast overall isn't the best, and I feel 331 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: like this is one maybe that critics liked a little 332 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: more than audiences did. So why it ends up at 333 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: the top of the list. I can kind of see that. 334 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: Next up was Cloud at Last. So I've said this before, 335 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: whenever you get into fantasy, that's where you get into trouble. 336 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: I felt this one was too weird. You think putting 337 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks and halle Berry in the movie got a 338 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: guaranteed hit, you got another thing come into you. This 339 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: movie just isn't great. I agree with this one wasn't 340 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: very good. Next up, I'm gonna lump all these into 341 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: one because it's the Da Vinci Code trilogy. Now, I 342 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: didn't like the first one, so I didn't bother to 343 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: watch the other two. I felt overall, I didn't see 344 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: the fascination with the books, so I just didn't really 345 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: think they were that great, and anybody who watched them 346 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: were like, yeah, that was kind of bad movies, Like 347 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: why did he do those? I think it was at 348 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: a time where they were trying to make a bunch 349 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: of movies based on books, and I was like, Okay, 350 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: any great book series out, we gotta make a movie. 351 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: We gotta make one for each, we gotta put the 352 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: last one into two parts. I just think it didn't 353 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: work here and overall, while he made some money off 354 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: of these movies, who goes back and watches the Da 355 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: Vinci Code, I'm out on those. The next one I 356 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: was very kind of disappointed at when I went to 357 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: go see it in theaters and it's Sully. Now, Sully 358 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: is a great story. We all remember when that happened. 359 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't feel like it worked as a movie because 360 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: essentially what they do is they take Captain Sully's story, 361 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: they show it all within maybe the first fifteen twenty 362 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: minutes of the movie and they just relive it over 363 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: and over and over for like an hour and a half. 364 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: So it's basically it shows the crash, you know, the 365 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: miracle on the Hudson which happened where the birds flew 366 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: into the plane, Captain Sully is able to land the 367 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: plane in the Hudson River, everybody gets off the plane 368 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: and it's a big heroic story, and then the movie 369 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: kind of takes place in court where they're like, okay, 370 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: well let's see if you were actually at fault here, 371 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: And that's the whole movie really of him reliving it 372 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: over and over, them telling the story in court again 373 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: and like okay, let's go back to the scene you saw. 374 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: Like I've never really seen that done in a movie, 375 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: where they replay what happened in the movie, Like why 376 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: does there need to be a replay in a play 377 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: by play? And that's really what the entire movie is. 378 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: So I felt it's kind of a case in point 379 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: of like, Okay, Hollywood wants to buy the rights to 380 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: a new story and they want to make a movie 381 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: about it. They did it, and while the story was 382 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: great in itself, I don't feel and needed a movie 383 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: and maybe needed a TV special. I kind of felt 384 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: like I always in my time watching it over and 385 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: over again, so one I don't really recommend. I just 386 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: didn't think there was anything great about it. I got 387 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: some honorable mention to hear too. Some people said The 388 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: Lady Killers extremely loud and incredibly close. I also want 389 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: to throw in Saving Mr Banks, which I felt was 390 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: just an overall weird movie. I was interested to see 391 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: him play Walt Disney. When I watched the movie, I 392 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this movie isn't what I thought it 393 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: was going to be. It's basically just the story of 394 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: Mary Poppins. I was almost hoping for just a real 395 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: life like picture about Walt Disney, which I think would 396 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: have been more interesting. And then another one that I 397 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: enjoyed but I feel like other people didn't really get, 398 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: was It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, where he 399 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: plays Mr Rogers, and I think we're kind of expecting 400 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: to see a straight on Mr Rogers biopic, but in 401 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: this movie, Tom Hanks isn't even the main character. The 402 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: story isn't really about Mr Rogers in his life. It's 403 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: about Mr Rogers helping a kind of cynical reporter who 404 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: was looking to do a story and finding the dirt 405 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: on Mr. Rodgers and then find and you're like, oh, 406 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: he's actually that great of a guy and he actually 407 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: helped him out in his own personal life to be 408 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: a better person. But Tom Hanks really wasn't the focus 409 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: in that overall. Mr rogers story wasn't the main kind 410 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: of thing of like his entire life, which I think 411 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: people were kind of wanting and to be more interesting. 412 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: But I thought he was really great in that and 413 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: anytime he was on screen was really kind of memorable 414 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: and powerful, but I felt they kind of sold that 415 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: in a different way. A better movie I think to 416 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: watch is the actual Mr. Rogers documentary which came out 417 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: in Won't You Be My Neighbor. I think that kind 418 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: of gives you more of a feel of what a 419 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: great guy Mr Rogers was and kind of all about 420 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: his life more so than the movie did. So I 421 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't put this at his worst, but it's not his best. 422 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: It's kind of right there in the middle of like, Okay, 423 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: it was a good movie, but not what I was expecting. 424 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: All Right, there is one more Tom Hanks movie I 425 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: want to talk about. I haven't said where I've placed 426 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: it yet, but it's his latest movie called Greyhound, which 427 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: is on Apple Plus only. I'll talk about whether I 428 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: loved or hated it next. All right, let's get into 429 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: a movie review now, keeping in the Tom Hanks team, 430 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: which this is really where I kind of got this 431 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: entire idea for this episode, because I watched his new movie, Greyhound, 432 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: which is available only on Apple Plus. It was actually 433 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: supposed to come out in theaters, but because of everything 434 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: going on this year, they're like, you know what, let's 435 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: just put it out streaming. And I kind of feel 436 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: like I'm glad they did, because I ended up not 437 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: liking this movie, and I'll tell you guys why. But 438 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: first of all, here's just a little bit of Greyhound 439 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: on the convoy. The wolf backs on this We've lost 440 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: seven trips. So the movie is about, you know, the 441 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: early days of World War Two, and it's based on 442 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: actual events. But the movie itself is actually based on 443 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: a novel that was written about World War Two, and 444 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: it's Tom Hanks character. He plays a captain in the 445 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: U S destroyer and they're being pursuited by essentially not 446 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: to U boats and he has to kind of guide 447 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: them throughout the North Atlantic, and it's essentially three battles 448 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: throughout the movie where he's just trying to keep everybody 449 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: alive and on this journey. So the whole time they're 450 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: being chased and attacked and all right, So first of all, 451 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: let's just talk about the first thing that kind of 452 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: threw me off about this movie. I feel like something 453 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: happened in the time that this movie was made and 454 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: got put onto Apple Plus, because just watching this movie 455 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 1: alone was a little hard to do. In the opening scene, 456 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: they have like this really like zoomed in blurred out 457 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: effect where it's almost just hard to keep focused on 458 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: anything going on the screen. So that's a weird thing 459 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: to kind of say that it was just hard to 460 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: watch because visually I thought it was kind of thrown 461 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: off balance. But not only that, I felt like the 462 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: action overall really didn't excite me in any way because 463 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: it is, you know, then being pursuited at sea, which 464 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: I feel is already kind of limited and its ability 465 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: because they're on a boat the entire time. You can 466 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: really only explore so much of that world on a boat, 467 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: and I don't feel like they did a great job 468 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: about it. Yes, Tom Hanks is the lead actor in this, 469 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: and really that's it. There's no other supporting cast. There's 470 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: really nothing else dynamic about the story. So the whole 471 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: thing you pretty much have three battles that happened, and 472 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: then the movie is over. The only thing I really 473 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: took away and liked about this movie is that I 474 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: think it's one of the shortest movies I've seen in 475 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: a long time. I think it was an hour in 476 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: twenty six minutes, so probably about thirty minutes, and I 477 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: was like, okay, um, when's the kind of kind of 478 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: pick up, And then about an hour and I'm like, okay, 479 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: I'm kind of ready for this to be over, and 480 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: then it was done. So I felt like I didn't 481 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: have time to get super bored in this, but there 482 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: was never a point to where I was fully interested, 483 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: fully invested, and ready to see what happens. I was 484 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: just kind of like, all right, it's happening, and there 485 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: it goes, and now it's over. So if I was 486 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: gonna rate this one, I would just give it a 487 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: two out of five U boats And I think it's 488 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: probably my least favorite Tom Hanks movie I've ever seen 489 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: because there was nothing till it. There was no real 490 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: substance to this movie. Even though it was based on 491 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: true events, I didn't even feel like I learned anything 492 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: because it was based kind of like on a novel 493 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: about what actually happened. There's not really a whole lot 494 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: of history here aside from like, okay, this is what 495 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: kind of happened, and I won't ruin the movie. But 496 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: the ending itself was like, Okay, that's sal you in 497 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: this movie, even if that's what's really happened in this story, Like, hey, 498 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: it's a movie. Spice it up a bit, like give 499 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: us some real action here. You just kind of leave 500 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: us like okay, that's what happened in Now it's done, Okay, 501 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: let's go. So the main thing I took away was 502 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: that it was undering an hour and a half and 503 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: it was not an Apple Plus. So I have a subscription. 504 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: I was able to watch it for free, but I 505 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna make me hop over there. If 506 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: I didn't have a subscription to sign up for one, 507 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: and if I would have saw this in theaters, I 508 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: would have been even more led down. So that kind 509 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: of drops the rating down even lower, and I think 510 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: now I'm at a point to where, like I was 511 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: saying earlier, he is still a highly bankable actor. I 512 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: think this movie wouldn't have got any attention if it 513 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: wasn't Tom Hanks. No one would watch this and think like, oh, 514 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: that's a great movie, even if it was a different 515 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: leading actor. Is because it's on Hanks in this movie 516 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: that it's even getting any kind of attention, I think. 517 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: So I would say only watch this if you're a 518 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: super die hard Tom Hanks fan, I have to see 519 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: every single movie he's done, or you're just that hungry 520 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: for watching a brand new movie. Otherwise I'd say skip it, 521 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: especially if you don't have Apple Plus. Alright, so now 522 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: I gotta talk about what I'm kind of sad. Now 523 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: I probably picked the worst year ever to start a 524 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: movie about podcast, because now every single movie has been 525 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: delayed until again not surprising. I was on here last 526 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: week talking about how they were expecting movie theaters not 527 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: to open until because of COVID nineteen, and the last 528 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: thing to fall was really movie companies saying that, Okay, 529 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: we're not putting out anything new and there's no reason 530 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: to open movie theaters now it's kind of set into 531 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: stone because Yeah, pretty much every movie I was excited 532 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: to come out this year is, you know, not coming 533 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: out for a long time now, starting with Mulan is 534 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: just taken off the schedule. There's no release date, there's 535 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: no like, Okay, maybe we'll put it out later this year. 536 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: It's just not coming out for a They've pushed back 537 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: the Avatar sequels. They've pushed back Star Wars movies. A 538 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: Quiet Place two, which was supposed to come out on 539 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: September four, now isn't coming out until April. Top Gun 540 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: has been pushed back. It was supposed to come out 541 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: on December twenty three, which would have been like the 542 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: last big movie of Now it's not coming out until 543 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: July two one. They still want that to be a 544 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: big Summer blocks office movie for them, so they're basically 545 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: pushing it back an entire half a year. And this 546 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: is really where I think it gets interesting, because not 547 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: only has the release of movies been pushed back, everything 548 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: in production right now is pretty much stopped. So it's 549 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: going to affect a long chain of when we were 550 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: supposed to see things too, when we're actually going to 551 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: get to see them, not only that it's going to 552 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: have a big effect on the Oscars, which have already 553 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: pushed back I think like three months of their air date. 554 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: Like what is gonna win the award for Best Oscar? 555 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: Like Sonic the Hedgehog, Like that's pretty much the only 556 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: major movie that came out and made any money. They 557 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: may just cancel the Oscars altogether, which makes sense because 558 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: if no one's seen any new movies, like what do 559 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: you really of an award to? I feel work those 560 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: in general this year we're gonna be kind of non existent, 561 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: like who do you give anything do? And I've seen 562 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people kind of pushing to be like Okay, 563 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: well you're not gonna give us the movies and theaters 564 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: give them to us at home. I feel that only 565 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: works for smaller and more independent movies, who are maybe 566 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: we're only going to make an X amount of dollars 567 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: at the box office. But when it comes to blockbusters, 568 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: you're talking about movies that make up to a hundred million, 569 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: two million, even global movies that make a billion dollars, 570 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: They're not going to make those kind of numbers doing 571 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: that on streaming. So I think we will end up 572 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: happening is no blockbusters for the rest of the year. 573 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: Maybe at the start of next year we kind of 574 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 1: see one get released and see what happens. I think 575 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: there has to be a test at some point to 576 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: be like okay. I think there'll be a litmus test 577 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: at some point of like, okay, is it safe to 578 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: open reopen theaters. Maybe there's a vaccine early next year 579 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: and we're kind of reopening to where we can be 580 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: around crowds again. But I think even then it won't 581 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: be prime for any kind of movie to have a 582 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: release state and be assured that they're going to make 583 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: the same kind of numbers that they were may be 584 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: a year ago. I think we don't see a big, 585 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: you know, blockbuster until the next summer. I think that's 586 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: just good how it's gonna go. Like I think that 587 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: Top Gun release date will kind of be the standard 588 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: of the next big movie. That's not to say we 589 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: won't get new movies in between. Maybe one or two 590 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: major movie will drop to streaming, But as far as 591 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: one with big actors, I don't think we're going to 592 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: see that anytime soon. And that's just kind of sad. 593 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: Like I like talking about new movies, I think I've 594 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: kind of shifted how I've done this podcast in a way. 595 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: You know, I was looking to kind of, at some 596 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: point get on, you know, actors to talk about movies 597 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: they were having coming out, directors talking about their latest project, 598 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: and I've kind of have to shift it away. And 599 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: you know, I did post this on Twitter and it 600 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: was kind of interesting and reassuring to see you guys 601 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: still enjoying the way I've been doing the podcast and 602 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: it being like, Okay, well, I know no new movies 603 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: are coming out, but we can also cop on here 604 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,959 Speaker 1: and recommend older movies and talk about movies that we 605 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: haven't probably seen in a way that's still kind of 606 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: fun to do. So I've liked the challenge of the 607 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: shift of not being able to talk about new movies, 608 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: not being able to maybe go after people promoting their 609 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: movies now into kind of this format I have. Now, 610 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: I think it's been I think it's worked out. It's 611 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: been fun for me, and if anything, I've been able 612 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: to adapt and you guys still enjoy this podcast. So 613 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: I think we'll get there eventually. I think there's some 614 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: great movies that are on the horizon that will eventually 615 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: get to see not right now, looking like the time now, 616 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 1: maybe some movie studio will give us a Christmas gift 617 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: and drop one for us, because I think we'll need 618 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: it around then to get through this year. That would 619 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: be a really nice street. If I had to pick 620 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 1: one movie to drop, I would have to say Black Widow. 621 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 1: I know that's a big ask, but I feel like 622 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: a Marvel movie is all of what we kind of 623 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: need right now. So Marvel, if any of you guys 624 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: are listening to this, Scarlett Johansen, here's my message. Put 625 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: it out for everybody as a Christmas gift, as something 626 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: we need, something new to watch that's really big and 627 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 1: exciting and fun.
