1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Movie Mike's movie podcast. I

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: am your host Movie Mike. Today, I want to share

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: with you a list of sequels that should not exist

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: because Ben Stiller was out recently saying he didn't expect

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: all the backlash and hate that he ended up getting

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: for Zoolander two, to which I say, really in the

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: movie review, we'll be talking about Zendaya in Challengers. Was

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: it as steamy as the trailer led on? And in

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: the trailer park? Why I am sad after watching the

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: new Transformers one trailer, even though the story looks pretty interesting.

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: So thank you for being here, Thank you for being subscribed.

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: Shout out to the Monday Morning movie crew. He now,

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: let's talk movies.

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: In a world where everyone and their mother has a podcast,

15
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: one man stands to infiltrate the ears of listeners like

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: never before in a movie podcast. A man with so

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: much movie knowledge, he's basically like a walking IMTB with

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: glasses from the Nashville Podcast Network. This is Movie Mike's movie.

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: Ben Steller was blindsided by the hate and the fact

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: that Zulander too flop. He said, whenever it came out,

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: he was convinced it was going to be a hit,

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: and when it flopped it blindsided him. First, Zulander came

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: out back in two thousand and one, and when you

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: break down legacy comedies, oh that one's I was making

25
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: a list of my top fifty favorite comedy. I don't

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: even think Zulander would be on that list, maybe if

27
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: it was specific to the two thousands or cult comedy hits.

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: But he said this on the David Ducoveny Fail Better

29
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: podcast and quote, I thought everybody wanted this, which I

30
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: think that is the part of a statement that makes

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: me see that sometimes even though to me, movies like

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: this seem like cash grabs, but whenever you have somebody

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: like Ben Steller heavily involved, I feel like that carries

34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: a little bit more way to it. And I assume

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: having a movie like that in his filmography, that is

36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: probably a question. He was asked a lot of interviews,

37
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: when are you going to make another Zoolander? When are

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: you going to make another Zoolander? So much so that

39
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: you start to believe, like he said that people wanted this,

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: and then he said when the movie came out and

41
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: it flopped, it really hurt him, but it allowed him

42
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: to go and do other things and focus on things

43
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: that he kind of had in the back burner, one

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: of those being Severance, which came out on Apple TV

45
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Plus and dominated and people loved that show waiting for

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: season two right now. So it kind of goes to

47
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: show you how good things can come out of bad things.

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: I think if you do make a sequel to a comedy,

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: it should come out within five years of that original one. Otherwise,

50
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: once you start making comedies in different decades, that is

51
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: where you set yourself up for failure. And why do

52
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: I think that is is because comedy is a reflection

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: of that time period. And when you start making movies

54
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: in the two thousands and then wait another decade to

55
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: follow up with that, the humor is not going to

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: match up. What was funny in two thousand and one

57
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: with Zoolander is not going to be funny in twenty sixteen.

58
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: So I think that is a recipe for disaster. And

59
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: also when it comes to comedies, more so than any

60
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: other genre, they are very nostalgic, and what we are

61
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: really asking for when we want a sequel to a

62
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: comedy movie, we don't really want it. We just want

63
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: to be transported into a time where we found that

64
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: movie funny. I would love to go back to two

65
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: thousand and one being ten years old, all the things

66
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: I found hilarious. Then that is really what I want.

67
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: I've never seen a sequel come out fifteen years after

68
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: that is better than the original one. Can it still

69
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: have its moments? Can it still be fun and quirky

70
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: like Bill and Teded coming out with one in twenty twenty. Yes,

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: that can happen, but it's never listened to me. What

72
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: I say is it's never going to match that original

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: one because what we want is that nostalgic factor. With

74
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: that being said, I have come up with the list

75
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: of sequels that should have never been made. Some of

76
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: these are outright offence because not only are they bad movies,

77
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: but they tarnished the legacy of the original movie. So

78
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: for this list, it is all sequels that I believe

79
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: have not only been worse than its predecessor, but should

80
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: be burned into the ground because they were either cash

81
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: grabs or nostalgia base. Starting with the worst offender, the

82
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: movie I bring up so much because I hate it

83
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: with a burning passion. It is Dumb and Dumber two,

84
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: and that is to that came out back in twenty fourteen,

85
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: and this is where I learned. What I've just been

86
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: talking about is as much as you want to see

87
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: your favorite actors come back and portray the characters that

88
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: made you laugh, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are incredible together,

89
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: and this was one. I was on that bandwagon. I

90
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: was on Reddit, following every storyline, with every script update.

91
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: I was all in on the Dumb and Dumber sequel. Now,

92
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: technically it's not a direct sequel because they came out

93
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: with the prequel Dumb and Dumber or in two thousand

94
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: and three, which is even worse because they aren't even

95
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: associated with that movie. That's another one that should have

96
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: been made. But this is the sequel to Dumb and

97
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: Dumber that came out in ninety four and I remember

98
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: seeing that first image of them back in the Harry

99
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: and Lloyd costumes and being so excited. And I've never

100
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: been so disappointed in a sequel because none of the

101
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: jokes landed, and all the movie was was poking fun

102
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: and reminding audiences of what they did in the original one,

103
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: and that is not what we want. It's hard to

104
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: do a sequel because you need to advance what you

105
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: did in the first one and not just remind people

106
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: why that one was great and dumb and Dumber two

107
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: is the biggest offender of that Along those same lines,

108
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 1: will stick to Jim carrey movies Son of the Mask

109
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: in two thousand and five with Jamie Kennedy. Oh, this

110
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: movie does tarnish the legacy of the Mask, which is

111
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: also a nineteen ninety four movie when Jim Carrey was

112
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: really on his run of dominance. Son of the Mask

113
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: was nothing more than a cash grab because in the

114
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: first one it's so quirky and funny, but what it

115
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: does well is all of the little side gags, and

116
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: really you need Jim Carrey in that mask to make

117
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: it funny. Son of the Mask is one of the

118
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: most brutal experiences I've ever had watching a movie, even

119
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: in two thousand and five, where you could throw anything

120
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: on the screen and my fourteen year old self would

121
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: probably laugh at it. But this one was straight awful,

122
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: mostly due to the mask looking like a rubbery playto

123
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: piece of crap. So that is my second big offender.

124
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: My third biggest offender is one that came out pretty recently,

125
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: Hocus Pocus two is a movie that I just hate

126
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: that it exists because hocus Pocus won. The original has

127
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: been one of my go to Halloween movies since I

128
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: can remember. It was always Halloween time for me. When ever,

129
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: I'd go to school and we'd throw on hocus Pocus

130
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: Great Memories with this movie, I'd watch it every single year,

131
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: And to me, this movie is perfect. It should not

132
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: have been touched and right now, Disney isn't a weird

133
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: place of movies that come out on Disney Plus and

134
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: movies that come out in theaters, And what they have

135
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: really done is kind of replaced their straight to VHS

136
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: straight to DVD movies and made those Disney Plus exclusives.

137
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: Hocus Pocus two fell victim to that. The movie just

138
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: looks terrible. It looks like it had zero budget. You

139
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: bring back all the originals and completely waste them to

140
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: make a movie that looks like a Saturday Morning special.

141
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: And Disney has done this a lot, so much so

142
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: that I almost don't count some of these sequels that

143
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: they have done because they are pretty bad. It really

144
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: shows me how much Disney has changed and has suffered

145
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: at the box office as of late, because they used

146
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: to be so dominant that they would only put out

147
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: their biggest movies in theaters, and all the sequels would

148
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: go straight to VHS, which they also crushed in because

149
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: they would sell so many of them, so they would

150
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: create classics, and then they would have cheaply made sequels

151
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: with less money spent on animation. You wouldn't have the

152
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: same caliber of voice actors. You would rarely have people

153
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: from the original ones be on these sequels. But all

154
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: these movies I would consider should not have been remade.

155
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: And I bet they regret some of these because they

156
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: could have made sequels now instead of remaking the original ones,

157
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: which we are seeing an influx up still. But Lion

158
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: King two, Cinderella to Little Mermaid two, Hunchback of Notre

159
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: Dame to move on to Bamby two, some of these

160
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: you probably forgot even happened because they were really just

161
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: a way for them to sell more DVDs and Bhs's

162
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: the only one of these movies that I liked, and

163
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: I remember going to the flea market in Dallas to

164
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: get a copy of this. Out of all these movies,

165
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: this is the only one I was excited for as

166
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: a kid, and it was Lion King one and a half,

167
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: which is a great movie. I haven't watch it in

168
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: a very long time. I'm not sure if it's still

169
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: available on Disney Plus, but it was Lion King from

170
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: the perspective of Timone and Poomba, which as a kid,

171
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: that is what I love the most from Lion King

172
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: because Poomba and Timone are hilarious. They were the best

173
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: part of that movie. They were the comedic relief. So

174
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: what you had in Lion King one and a half

175
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: was their storyline from before they meet Simba, because they

176
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: really don't encounter him until about the start of the

177
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: second act of the movie, so you get to see

178
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: all of their life before that, and then you get

179
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: to see their perspective from the final battle, which is great.

180
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: So all the other ones should not have happened. Just

181
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: give me Lion King one and a half. Another more

182
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: recent offender is Aquaman two, which is one of the

183
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: worst superhero movies I've ever seen. I was quite honestly

184
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: surprised how big of a hit Aquaman one was. And

185
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: this one also came at a weird time of Warner

186
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: Brothers kind of closing the chapter on this DC era,

187
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: and I feel like this movie was dead on arrival.

188
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: It had no real chance of success. But even that

189
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: being said, I was not prepared for the annihilation on

190
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: my eyes from watching such a weak performance from Jason Momoa,

191
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: but also the worst visual effects in the last decade

192
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: when it comes to superhero movies, I thought we were

193
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: past making superhero movies this bad at a time where

194
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: people are starting to be fatigued with these movies. Really

195
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: good to put this one out. They should have shelled

196
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: this movie. So I think a lot of people right

197
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: now would say any sequel to any superhero movie is

198
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: one that should not be made. Even though there's so

199
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: much hype around the latest Deadpool and Wolverine trailer in

200
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: that franchise, I actually think Deadpool two is a pretty

201
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: weak spot, and I think it brings up a great

202
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: point of in Deadpool. The first one was so successful

203
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: because it was made on a fifty eight million dollar

204
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: budget and went on to make seven hundred and eighty

205
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: two million dollars at the box office. So then you

206
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: get the sequel of Deadpool two, which I feel is

207
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: really forgettable because the charm of the first one was

208
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: due to the fact that they were working with a

209
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: smaller budget. A lot of the comedy comes from that.

210
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: In the final act, whenever Deadpool is going to that

211
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: final battle, they were running out of money. They had

212
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: to cut a big amount of the budget. That's why

213
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: he forgets his guns, which leads to a much funnier

214
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: sequence of events to close out that movie and became

215
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: quintessential Deadpool. Then in the second one, they went from

216
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: fifty eight million dollars to one hundred and ten million

217
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: dollar budget, but it didn't really change much because you

218
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: have more room to breathe with a visual aspect, and

219
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: it did not really translate to much more box office

220
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: success because I think it only made four or five

221
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: more million dollars worldwide, even though they spent so much

222
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: more money on it. But in this case, sometimes I

223
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: believe a bad sequel is the bridge to a third

224
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: batter movie. So I think Deadpool two I could probably

225
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: do without. But now we get Deadpool and Wolverine, which

226
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: looks fantastic in the new trailer, which they aren't calling

227
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: this movie Deadpool three. That is what the director said.

228
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: He said, this is kind of its own thing. And

229
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: I remember giving the suit so much grief whenever we

230
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: had that first look at it because I thought it

231
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: looked like a motocross suit and didn't really feel like

232
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: the comic book accurate version that I was promised, And

233
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: even though the colors are pretty similar, I just felt

234
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: like that is not what I had in my head.

235
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: I wanted him to look like the iconic nineties Wolverine

236
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: that we all fell in love with back in the day.

237
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: But after watching the trailer and seeing that they ripped

238
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: off the sleeves, I have to say it does look

239
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: a lot better. I still wish he had the pointy boots,

240
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: and I hope at some point he has the mask on,

241
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: even if it's a quick joke. I think with that

242
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: I would be satisfied. We have had some looks at

243
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: the posters. Maybe we are gonna get Wolverine in a mask.

244
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: I also think we're gonna get that Hulk cameo in

245
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: Dead Pull and Wolverine. There's been a lot of little

246
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: Easter eggs put out some new posters wherever you see

247
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: the reflection of Deadpool and the reflection of Wolverine in

248
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: each of their blades, which I believe is in homage

249
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: to an iconic, Incredible Hulk comic book cover. Wherever you

250
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: see Wolverine with this blades out and you see the

251
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: Hulk's reflection in the blades, one of the best comic

252
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: book covers of all time. Also, in the first trailer

253
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: we had from Deadpool and Wolverine, you see Wolverine sitting

254
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: at a table in an all white tux, which is

255
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: another reference to a comic book cover with him and

256
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: the Incredible Hulk. So I'm hoping we get that cameo.

257
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: But anyway, all that to say, sometimes you need a

258
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: bad sequel to get to a better third movie. Another

259
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: instance in that is The Hangover two, which I don't

260
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: think that movie needed to be made. It is the

261
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: exact same thing as the first one, but in Bangkok.

262
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: And I remember being disappointed with The Hangover two in

263
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: twenty eleven because I love The Hangover Part one, one

264
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: of my favorite comedies of all time, And even though

265
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: I didn't love the sequel, they should have done without that.

266
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: I actually really enjoy The Hangover three because it goes

267
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: back to Vegas, because it goes back to what made

268
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: the first one great. But the only reason I love

269
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: that one is because we have that bad sequel in

270
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: the middle. You couldn't have gone from the Hangover one

271
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: to the Hangover three, because even more so than the

272
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: jump from one to two, it would have felt like

273
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: the exact same movie. So you get that part three

274
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: and it almost feels, even though they weren't that far apart,

275
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: kind of nostalgic for going back and reliving their days

276
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: of going to Vegas and having more and reliving some

277
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: moments from that Vegas trip. I know, on paper, it's

278
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: probably not a great movie and probably would go on

279
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: the list of trilogies that should not exist, but for me,

280
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: I like it. I also think sometimes you can make

281
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: a movie that is so iconic that studios feel pressure

282
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: to make a sequel, movies like Jaws. You got a

283
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: sequel to it in nineteen seventy eight. You didn't have

284
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: Steven Spielberg directing this movie, and it paled in comparison

285
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: to that original one. Didn't have any great characters, didn't

286
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: have any excitement, and somehow, with a better budget, managed

287
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: to make Jaws look worse. And at one point, whenever

288
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: they finally kill Jaws again, for some reason, they made

289
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: Jaws roar. Here's that moment. If you haven't seen this movie,

290
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: smile your this whole movie was chaotic, but for some

291
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: reason Jaws roaring like a lion and then flashing back

292
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: to the first one, the movie made no sense. So

293
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: not only is it hard to recapture what makes a

294
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: comedy great, it's also hard to recapture what makes a

295
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: thriller or horror movie great. Another case of this is

296
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: Speed to Cruise Control, which came out in nineteen ninety seven.

297
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: So in the first one, they can't slow down on

298
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: the bus because there's a bomb on board and if

299
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: they slow down, it's going to explode and kill everybody

300
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: in it. They took that exact same concept and moved

301
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: it to a boat. Who thought audiences wanted to see

302
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: Speed again, but on a boat terrible. I also wanted

303
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: to include on this list sequels you probably forgot even happened.

304
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,119
Speaker 1: In some of these cases, people are still demanding sequels

305
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: to these movies, even though they already came out. I'm

306
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: talking about Mean Girls two came out in twenty eleven.

307
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: Nobody made a peep about this, even with the musical

308
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: version coming out earlier this year. I feel most people

309
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: wanted it to be a direct sequel to the Lindsay

310
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: Lohan version, not knowing we actually got this over fifteen

311
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: years ago. Or movies like The Sandlot two, which came

312
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: out in two thousand and five, and not only did

313
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: they do this movie, but they followed it up in

314
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven with The Sandlot three. So again,

315
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: you can create a movie that is so iconic that

316
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: there will always be a demand there, but just because

317
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: you could doesn't mean you should in the cases of

318
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: these movies. We also fairly recently got a Christmas story Christmas,

319
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: which I feel also applies to this list, But before

320
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 1: that we did have a direct sequel to a Christmas story.

321
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: We got a Christmas Story too, which again is a

322
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: case where I feel like people forgot that that movie

323
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: happened in the middle of that. There are also some

324
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: cases of sequels that I appreciated as a kid but

325
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: now are a chore and a pain to watch, one

326
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: of those being Mortal Kombat Annihilation. I loved the Mortal

327
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: Kombat movies in the nineties as a kid, and I

328
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: remember when Annihilation came out. I thought it was a

329
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: pretty good movie because I loved the first one so much,

330
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: played the video game so much, and I was a

331
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: big fan of the character Raptor who just looks like

332
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: sub Zero and Scorpion, but his suit is green. I

333
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: thought that was so cool. I don't know why green

334
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: was such a cool color in the nineties. It also

335
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: reminds me of the Green Ranger from Mighty morphin Power Rangers.

336
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: But I thought that movie was good as a kid.

337
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: Rewatching it as an adult, it is so so painful.

338
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: And they are making another Mortal Kombat now, which is

339
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: a sequel to the one that came out in twenty

340
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: twenty one, which I actually thought was pretty good because

341
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: I think for these movies to work, they have to

342
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: feel less like the video game and more like their

343
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: own thing. So put them inside the world, but don't

344
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: try to do what they did back in the nineties.

345
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: They have officially wrapped on Mortal Kombat too, so hopefully

346
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: soon we get some kind of a release date of

347
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: when that movie is coming. Also, as a kid, I

348
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: remember loving an extremely goofy movie, which is a sequel

349
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: to one of my favorite Disney movies of all time,

350
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: the Goofy Movie, And this was really just cashing in

351
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: on a time in the late nineties early two thousands

352
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: where extreme sports were everything. Back in the Tony Hawk days.

353
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: Matt Hoffman and you could turn on the TV, primarily

354
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: on Disney Channel and see Extreme Sports because they were

355
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: so huge back then. So a lot of movies came

356
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: out year towards kids to get them excited about this.

357
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: So not the sequel I wanted to see, because it

358
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: was really just Max going to college and then competing

359
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: in a version of the X Games and Goofy comes in,

360
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, that one not so good. I also remember

361
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, Joe Dirt two came out, which is

362
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: another instance of trying to make a comedy happen again

363
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: ten plus years later. I also wanted to include sequels.

364
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm glad were never made along those same lines because

365
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: we got movies like Joe Dirt to Zoolander two. But

366
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: sometimes it's okay to know when not to make a sequel.

367
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: On this list I have, I'm glad they never made

368
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: Super Bad Too, Wedding Crashers Too, which has been rumored

369
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: a lot with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson back. I

370
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: don't think this movie should be made. It's not going

371
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: to be what we wanted to be. Even movies like

372
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: Old School, two Bridesmaids two Knocked up to forty year

373
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: old version two. They would just not do well. So

374
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: every now and then we'll see these headlines come out,

375
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: we'll see actors be interviewed, are you gonna make another one?

376
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: Calm down with those questions, because we don't need them

377
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: in our lives. Although I do think a Pineapple Express

378
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: two would actually work because it's not so much about

379
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: the comedy in Pineapple Express. It's all the action, the

380
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: stoner comedy at its core. But it has so much

381
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: fighting and car chase scenes and people shooting each other

382
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: that I think a movie like that would actually work.

383
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: But I don't really see James Franco doing a whole

384
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: lot right now. We do have some sequels that are

385
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: already announced that I'm hesitant about. Beatlejuice two, which we're

386
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: getting out later this year. That last trailer looked promising,

387
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: but it also has all of the recipe of disaster

388
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 1: to not live up to the original movie from Disney.

389
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: We're also getting Inside Out too later this year. Pretty

390
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: soon we're getting Zootopia two, which that's a perfect animated

391
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: movie that I don't think needs another one. That one

392
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: really hits me in the fields. So did Inside Out.

393
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: But the thing with Inside Out. I think there's actually

394
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: a story to be told there because it's Riley getting

395
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: older and having these new emotions move in. I actually

396
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: think that could be pretty powerful for kids. Later this year,

397
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: we're also getting Gladiator to the thing that worries me

398
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: about that movie is I feel like it's a sequel

399
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: unlike all these other ones that no one really asks for.

400
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: There's not a passionate Gladiator fan base, but maybe Ridley

401
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: Scott just had a vision for this movie. At least

402
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: the cast looks pretty promising in that movie. And a

403
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: sequel I've been waiting for is a Detective Pikachu too.

404
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: It's the only live action Pokemon movie that we've ever got.

405
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: Not that they completely nailed it with that movie, but

406
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: it's the closest we've ever been as lifelong Pokemon fans

407
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: of having something that truly checks all the boxes. And

408
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: I feel like, now, with visual effects getting better, maybe

409
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: they could go back and retool some of the character

410
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: designs to make them a little bit more accurate to

411
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: the cartoon and the card game. And finally, to wrap

412
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: up here, I did see Ryan Gosling talking about why

413
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: his movie with Russell the nice Guys never got a sequel,

414
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: he said, because when it came out, it went up

415
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: against Angry Birds and got destroyed at the box office

416
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: in its opening weekend. And The Nice Guys this movie

417
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: came out back in twenty sixteen, and I feel is

418
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: one that really gets overlooked. I think the title really

419
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: doesn't help it a lot. The trailer didn't really do

420
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: the movie justice. But it is a fun crime movie

421
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: and one that I could see translate into a franchise,

422
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: much like John Wick did, even like the Knives Out movies,

423
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: where you could keep the duo together with Ryan Gosling

424
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: and Russell Crowe and just swap out the mystery. I mean,

425
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: if we keep getting all these death on the Nile movies,

426
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: why couldn't we get a franchise. It has that slapstick

427
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: humor but also some really solid action. So if you've

428
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: never seen The Nice Guys, and if you're like me,

429
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: really on a Ryan Gosling kick who I thought he

430
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: crushed on Saturday Night Live promoting The Fall Guy, which

431
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: is coming out this weekend, which I believe was their

432
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: most successful Saturday Night Live episode since twenty twenty one.

433
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: This is definitely one of his movies that went under

434
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: the radar. So that is the list. We'll come back.

435
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: I'll give my thoughts on Challengers and in the trailer

436
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: park why I'm sad after watching The Transformers one trailer.

437
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: Let's get into it now, a spoiler free review of Challengers,

438
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 1: one of my most anticipated movies of the year. That

439
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: trailer alone, I instantly pre ordered my tickets, even though

440
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: it was months before I could even pre order my tickets.

441
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Zendea fan, which I'll get into later,

442
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: But what I knew about this movie going into it

443
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: given from the trailer. She plays a tennis star on

444
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: the rise, but her career gets cut short due to

445
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: an injury. You get a little glimpse of that in

446
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: the trailer, and I am somebody who struggles with any

447
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: kind of injury involving any kind of bone, and just

448
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: from that glimpse they gave us in the trailer, I

449
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: was anticipating that moment throughout the movie and I didn't

450
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: want to see it. But her career gets cut short.

451
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: Her name is Tashi, and then there are these two

452
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: other guys who kind of parallel her career around the

453
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: same age. One guy's name Patrick, who is very confident,

454
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: has a lot of raw talent, just kind of is

455
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: trying to play tennis as a way to make money

456
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: because it's all he is good at. His friend is

457
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: Art who they've been childhood friends since they were pre teenagers,

458
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: and they are both on the rise in the tennis scene.

459
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: They are starting to win, starting to make a name

460
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: from themselves, and they encounters in Deya's character about to

461
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: go to college, and they see her at this event

462
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: where she is crushing it. She has a very unique

463
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: playing style, and they approach her because she is one

464
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: beautiful and two because she is really good at tennis,

465
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: and they want to hang out with her. And that

466
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: is about where you get to in the trailer. We've

467
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: all seen a little bit of the scene of them

468
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: laying on the bed, and I won't get into all that.

469
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: It is an R rated movie, not as hard of

470
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: an R as the trailer leads it on to be,

471
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: which I'll get into a little bit more later. But

472
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: given the nature of this review, if there are younger

473
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: ears around, we are going to get into some of

474
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: that later in the review, so just be aware of that.

475
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: But again, the movie is rated R. So what this

476
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: movie does It may not come across in the trailer,

477
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: but it jumps around in time a lot, because it

478
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: starts out that she ends up with one of the

479
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: guys he is trying to win a Grand Slam title

480
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: and he is struggling. He is in a rut, he

481
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: is not able to win, so she is trying to

482
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: build up his confidence and signs him up for one

483
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: of these Challengers events, which that is what the movie

484
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: is named after. They are a lower tier competition in

485
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: the tennis world where somebody at the caliber that Art

486
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: has now achieved, being a pro, being famous, having all

487
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: the money, doesn't really compete in but because he is struggling,

488
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: she coaches him, because she's now his coach, to go

489
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: win at one of these events, crush the competition, therefore

490
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: giving you the confidence you need to go win another championship.

491
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: Art goes to this competition where his former best friend

492
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: Patrick is there, who is had the complete opposite trajectory

493
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: in his career. So that is about the first ten

494
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: to fifteen minutes of the movie, and then the movie

495
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: starts going back in time to fill you in on

496
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: all the gaps of how they got here, why all

497
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: of their relationships are so complicated why there's so much

498
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: tension between all of them. And I actually enjoyed the

499
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: jump around in time because it creates this level of

500
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: tension and anticipation to peel back the layers. It's a

501
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 1: really hard thing to do because you have to pay

502
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: attention while watching the movie, because at times even I

503
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: got a little bit confused on exactly what was happening

504
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: in real time and what was a flashback. But they

505
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: do a pretty good job at changing their wardrobe, changing

506
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: their hairstyle, and making a visual effort to let you

507
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: know that this is something happening in the past too,

508
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: this is something happening now. Cinematography in this movie is beautiful.

509
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: It really creates that sense of realism and something you

510
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: don't really see a whole lot of, or at least

511
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot of emphasis on, is the beauty of

512
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: the clobe, which is one of the most classic things

513
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: in cinema. I'm ready for my closeup, and sometimes it's

514
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: just kind of a throwaway, just put the camera on

515
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: your biggest hector at any given time. But the way

516
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: they use the close ups in this movie was so powerful.

517
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: Because it's such an intimate movie, it has a relatively

518
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: low cast, but to make a movie where it's so

519
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: focused on these strong leads, giving them all a time

520
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: to shine, not just from their performance, but also from

521
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: putting the camera right in their face and showcasing them.

522
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: There were some really beautifully framed shots that created that

523
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: level of intimacy that you get. And what is the

524
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: most dangerous of geometric shapes, the love triangle, and that

525
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: is what this movie did. It created this level of

526
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: at times uncomfortableness and overall just had your eyes glued

527
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: to the scene for the moment we were all waiting

528
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: for and all promised in the trailer, the scene delivered,

529
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: and from the response in the crowd in the theater

530
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: while watching this movie, it was unlike anything I had experienced.

531
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: Now we'll get into a little bit about the R

532
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,239
Speaker 1: rated nature of the movie while we're talking about it,

533
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: because not as hard of an R as I thought

534
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: it was going to be. The trailer makes it seem

535
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: and the rating makes it seem like it's going to

536
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: be just nudity all the time, or at least a

537
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: very big graphic scene. Not really the case. What was

538
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: most surprising is there was some male nudity that was

539
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: received with some pretty big gasps in our theater, which

540
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: is something I'm a little bit more used to now

541
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: because I've watched a lot of HBO, a lot of

542
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: Max Originals. Hulu is even dipping into the male nudity

543
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: where it's become a little bit more normal to me.

544
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: But I realized in that moment that there hasn't been

545
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: a movie on this scale with a wiener of that scale.

546
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: I just haven't really put those two things together. And

547
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: me being in a theater seat, being in public and

548
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: witnessing male nudity and seeing how other people react to it,

549
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: I thought it waskind of funny. There was some gasps,

550
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: but again not the nudity I was expecting in this movie.

551
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: Male junk and male butt. So know that going into

552
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: watching it without a doubt, hands down, the best thing

553
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: about Challengers is Zendaya's performance, who is now a dominant

554
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: force in Hollywood. She is right now in two major

555
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: movies currently in theaters, and without a doubt, I can

556
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: say that Zendia has the best range in Hollywood out

557
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,959
Speaker 1: of any actor to go from a movie like Challengers

558
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: from coming out of the MCU, even before that being

559
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: a Disney kid, which is so hard to get out

560
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: of that mentality of acting on the Disney show where

561
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: everything is so over emphasized, you have to be so wacky.

562
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: She is the best actor to ever come out of

563
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: Disney and now prove that she is a dominant force,

564
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: not only winning Emmys for Euphoria, but now somebody please

565
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: give her an oscar, which I hope this movie will

566
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: be in contention for Best Picture. She deserves the Best

567
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: Actress nomination because she is so good in this movie

568
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: at being so convincing at all different types of characters.

569
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: She can do a sci fi role like Dune and

570
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: crush it and completely sell that, and then do a

571
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: movie like Challengers where you're not even completely one hundred

572
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: percent rooting for her. To have that kind of range

573
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: is amazing to me. And then go do a show

574
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: like Euphoria where you are rooting for her even though

575
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: she isn't the best character in that show, and then

576
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 1: to do MJ where you completely love her both on

577
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: screen and on screen with Tom Holland. She is the

578
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: real deal. If you are not on the Zendia train

579
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: by now, you have to be after watching Challengers, because

580
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: what I see in her performances is what I feel

581
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: is the closest to the Golden Age in Hollywood, and

582
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: that is the vibe that this movie gave me. It

583
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: had that classic cinema feel that I had been wanting

584
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: to see in twenty twenty four. It really had all

585
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: of those great classic elements, the sharp dialogue, the fantastic wardrobe,

586
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: and the big leads really selling the story because if

587
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 1: you look at a movie like this, it's fairly simple.

588
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: And it's not that there hasn't been a movie about

589
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: a love triangle before. You could argue that Past Lives

590
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: just did it last year. It's not that there hasn't

591
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: been a tennis movie like this, but there hasn't been

592
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,479
Speaker 1: one that has really moved me to my core like this,

593
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: because it had all of these elements of watching a

594
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: classic movie, but it felt so refreshed. And I love

595
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: that all the early scenes and flashbacks took place in

596
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: the two thousands, so it almost feels like we're going

597
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: back to a period so long ago. But then you

598
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: see all the logos, like the old school taco bell logo,

599
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: which there was a lot of cleverly placed product placement

600
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: in this movie. You even have references to tennis stars

601
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: of the two thousands, Andy Roddick being one of them,

602
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: whose face was displayed pretty prominently in this movie, which

603
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: also has a connection to the film because all the

604
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: actors at about three months of pre operation with tennis

605
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: coach Brad Gilbert, who has taught those like Andy Roddick,

606
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 1: and three months may not sound like a lot of

607
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 1: time to achieve the level that the characters in the

608
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: movie have of being the best in their field, but

609
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: it shows you that there is a parallel between athletes

610
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: and actors wanting to be the best and putting in

611
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: the hours and days and weeks and months to train.

612
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: To really sell this movie because throughout it I fully

613
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: believed it. I think what also helps them is, of

614
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: course they had stunt doubles to sell some of the

615
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: outer shots, but also again, the cinematography really helped sell

616
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: all of those scenes. There are moments where it goes

617
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: and puts you into that first person perspective, like you

618
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: are playing. You see the ball like it's coming right

619
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: at you, You see the tennis like you're holding it

620
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: in your hand. I thought those shots were so great

621
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: and it looked better than just slapping a go pro

622
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: on somebody's head, which some other films have done to

623
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: give you that same perspective, but you can kind of

624
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: tell the quality in that it almost looks like it's

625
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: to like a seven to twenty p version. In this one,

626
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: it was full cinematic quality in that first person perspective,

627
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: and I thought that was such a great touch to

628
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: really put you in that action and also created a

629
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: level of pacing of it's that back and forth in tennis,

630
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: which this movie also emphasizes that of showing the crowd

631
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: going from left to right and showing how fast paced

632
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: it is. The cinematography and storytelling was right there. Being

633
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: fast paced during those moments such a nice detail. It

634
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: made me want to go out and buy a tennis

635
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: racket and go hit the courts, but I'm probably not

636
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: gonna do that. Best I could do is go like

637
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: buy a Wii from the pawn shop and play we

638
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: Tennis again. Because I used to dominate it that this

639
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,239
Speaker 1: movie did so many things right, I would argue it

640
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: really didn't do anything wrong. And most movies I've seen

641
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: so far this year, I've reached a level where I'm

642
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: ready for it to be over. This was a movie

643
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: I did not want to end and the two plus

644
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: hour runtime just evaporated away. And the only thing I

645
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: would hold against it, I feel is maybe unfair, but

646
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 1: it was a really hard story to wrap up with

647
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: all of these loose ends, all the things that unfold

648
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: in the third act, which I feel maybe went on

649
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: a little bit too long for a movie that really

650
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: sold me in the first and second act. It almost

651
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: lost its footing a bit towards the end because it

652
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: feels like there could have been so many alternate endings

653
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: to this movie, and with all the alternate endings that

654
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: I could have seen, in my mind, I think they

655
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: picked the wrong one. But I think that's just a

656
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: personal taste for me. And sometimes it's movies ending in

657
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: a way that you don't want them to end as

658
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: the audience. If everything was wrapped up in a nice

659
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: little package, then all would be well. And would we

660
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: really have achieved anything? Would we really have learned anything?

661
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: Would we really have grown? And sometimes in life you

662
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: don't get the things you want, and this was a

663
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 1: case where I don't think I got what I want

664
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: out of my characters. But afterwards, I've been thinking about

665
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: it more and more in thinking how man to make

666
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: a movie where there's not necessarily a protagonist and antagonist

667
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: that you're rooting for or rooting against. You could make

668
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: an argument for either one of these characters because the

669
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: relationship is so just wrapped and intertwined and so messy. Again,

670
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: the most dangerous geometric shape is the triangle, because it

671
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: just all goes around and around and around, and you

672
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: could say one person was good and one person was bad,

673
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: but that person could say that person was good and

674
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: that person was bad, and the outcome is going to

675
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: be a bummer for everybody. And that is what I

676
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: learned after watching Challengers. So in my eyes, it is

677
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: almost a perfect movie, but still nonetheless a movie I

678
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: feel everybody should watch in a sea of remakes and

679
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: franchises and superhero movies, and to see it do fairly

680
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: well at the box office this week, and here the

681
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: universe gives you a movie that is free of all

682
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: those things. Maybe it's the R rating that's like, oh,

683
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to touch that one, but it's just

684
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: inspiring for me to see a movie like this that

685
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: feels so refreshing still be able to get made and

686
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: with the movie star as big as Endea. For Challengers,

687
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: I give it four point five out of five tennis rackets.

688
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 2: It's time to head down to movie Mike trailer Paul, we.

689
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: Have our first look at Transformers one, and after watching this,

690
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: I realize, well, a couple of things. One, I'm getting

691
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: older to all the things that I loved as a

692
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: kid are now being repackage, repurposed to fit a younger generation.

693
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: And for the first time, when a trailer came out

694
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: over something I was excited about, I realized how much

695
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: this is not for me anymore. And I think in

696
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: my life, I've just been used to things that I've

697
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: been passionate about, things that I've loved over the years,

698
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: whether it be superheroes, things from comic books, sci fi

699
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: in general, a lot of it has been geared towards me.

700
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: And now it is seeing things that I grew up

701
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: with and I love. And I still think this should

702
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: be made for me because I am a fan of

703
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: the original. And now after watching this, I realize that

704
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: it's time to move on from some things and be

705
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: okay with that. Not everything is going to be for you.

706
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: And I'm thirty two years old, about to turn thirty

707
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: three this summer. I realize, Man, I might need to

708
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: sit this one out. What this movie is about. It

709
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: is a prequel to all of the Transformers movie It's

710
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: a never before told story. Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree

711
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: Henry star in this movie, who I think make a

712
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: great pairing. Both fantastic actors. Brian Tyree Henry has done

713
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: a lot of great work at voice acting as well.

714
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: He is also in Spider Man Into and across the

715
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: Spider Verse. Chris Hemsworth, he's stile or he's getting more

716
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: into doing movies outside of Marvel. Hasn't really found his

717
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: footing yet. Could it be voice acting. We'll figure that

718
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: out by the end of this trailer park. But the

719
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: story here is a young Optimist Prime, which is who

720
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: Chris Hemsworth is playing, and before he was known as

721
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: Optimist Prime, he was called Orian Pax. That is his

722
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: name in this movie. Brian Tyree Henry plays a character

723
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: named D fourteen who ends up becoming Optimist primes rival Megatron.

724
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: So this is their origin story of them being friends

725
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 1: before they became enemies, which I think is a great premise.

726
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: Other cast members include Scarlett Johansson, Keegan Michael Key, who

727
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: is and everything he plays Mumblebee. In this movie, you

728
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: also have John Hamm and Laurence Fishburn. The movie is

729
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: coming out later this year on September twentieth. Before I

730
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: get into more how I feel about this movie and

731
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: deciding it's time for me to move on a little bit,

732
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: here's just a little bit of the Transformers one trailer.

733
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: It's time to show him we are more than meets

734
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: the eye. Can transform now free. Uh guys, that's not good.

735
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: We've got these powers for a reason. Let's use them.

736
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: We stand here together.

737
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 2: As one.

738
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: A lot of things to break down from this trailer.

739
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: It is the first fully ever CG animated Transformers movie.

740
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: They have made Transformers animated movies in the past. We

741
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: also know the iconic franchise from Michael Bay, but Transformers

742
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: started out as a Saturday morning cartoon back in the eighties,

743
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: and that is what originally the demographic was for for kids,

744
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: more specifically to sell toys to kids. And that is

745
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 1: how I felt after watching this trailer, because upon first

746
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: seeing the animation here, I was completely under whelm of

747
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: how flat it looked. And the thing I love about

748
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: Transformers is how bright and vibrant all the characters are.

749
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,479
Speaker 1: That is rarely what stands out in the animated show.

750
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: Also in the comic books, it's what makes them stand

751
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: out on shelves at toy stores, and it's also what

752
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: translated so well into the live action movies. They were

753
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: so big and glossy and shiny and slick looking Optimist

754
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: Prime and the red and the Blue Bumblebee in that

755
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: beautiful yellow. All the characters were so distinct, and in

756
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: the first minute of this trailer they all look completely

757
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: washed out, and it just felt like a very poor

758
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: use of animation style to make me want to see

759
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: an animated Transformers movie. But more importantly, I feel that

760
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: kids would think it looks a little bit lame. I

761
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: was hoping it would follow in the footsteps of movies

762
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 1: like into the Spider Verse, where the animated teenage Mutant

763
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 1: Indus Turtles movie they came out last year that blended

764
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: too and three D animation to give it a unique

765
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 1: look that makes it visually interesting. Now, the story here

766
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: I think could kind of match it, because it's portraying

767
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: our characters here as worker bots before they get their power,

768
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: so before they are able to transform, they're just regular workers,

769
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: and then somehow they get their powers and they are

770
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: able to go into battle mode. But overall, there is

771
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 1: nothing visually stunning that sticks out to me in this

772
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: trailer that makes me think I need to see this

773
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: on the big screen, and really nothing that I can

774
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: see that is going to translate into a great new

775
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: toy line, which is really the primary reason that this

776
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: movie is being made. And I can't be mad at

777
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: that because that is what the original series was back

778
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: in the day. All throughout history and anything targeted towards kids,

779
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: that has been the ultimate goal is to make a commercial,

780
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: essentially to sell a product of toys. So I just

781
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: think if that is the goal they are trying to

782
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,959
Speaker 1: they are really lacking in the visuals department here, which

783
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 1: is a bit of a bummer because the voice acting

784
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: seems to be pretty right on and the story here

785
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: seems to be something that I am interested in. I

786
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: would love to see Optimist Prime and Megatron being friends,

787
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 1: seeing them actually be on the same side fighting against

788
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: the villain, and then maybe towards the end of the

789
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: movie or in a sequel, you start to see the

790
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: downfall of their relationship and you see Megatron go bad.

791
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 1: I just think there's more potential here to not only

792
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: appeal to the very very young kids, who is the

793
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: key demographic here, but also appealed to all those that

794
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 1: were fans of the show in the eighties or even

795
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: the reboots of the movies in the two thousands and

796
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: early twenty tens, because I think other franchises have succeeded

797
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: in that teenage mutant Ninja Turtles did that perfectly, and

798
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: it was cool to see people who are now parents

799
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: with kids take their kids to go enjoy something that

800
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: they enjoy and it's a whole bonding experience. And also

801
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: the fact that retro is so in right now with

802
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: TV shows like X Men ninety seven completely bringing everybody together.

803
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: I think they also missed a boat on that of

804
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: not having some animation style or even allusions to that

805
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: original animated series to give this a little bit more

806
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: color and make it just more interesting to watch. Other

807
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: than that, you're really just banking on all the A

808
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 1: list stars you have voicing the characters, which, hey, is

809
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: Carlo Johansson in an animated movie, I'm right there with you.

810
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: But aside from that, there's really nothing that sticks out

811
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: to me about this trailer. And also, where is the

812
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: uproar due to the fact that Peter Cullen is not

813
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: voicing Optimist Prime. Remember when everybody was so upset or

814
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: fake upset whenever Chris Evans came out as the voice

815
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: of Buzz light Year, and everybody wanted Tim Allen, even

816
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: though those two movies were supposed to be separate from

817
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: the Toy Story franchise line. Everybody was so upset about that,

818
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: and that was it's so difficult to explain that that

819
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: movie ended up not doing so well. But Peter Colin

820
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: has been the voice of Optimist Prime. He is the

821
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: only one I could hear doing it, and I think

822
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: he actually turned down the role because a producer said

823
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: that Peter Colin was always the go to first choice

824
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: to play Optimist Prime. But I have to believe that

825
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: he turned it down because he actually consulted Chris Hemsworth

826
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: on the voice. And you can hear it there in

827
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: that trailer clip that I played, because at times it

828
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: just sounds like Chris Hemsworth doing his normal voice, and

829
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: then other times you do hear him emulating Peter Colin

830
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 1: with that very deep Optimist Prime voice. So I'm curious

831
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: to see how that carries up throughout the entire movie.

832
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm not one to jump on bashing people because they

833
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: don't sound like what I expected it to. It was

834
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: the whole same ordeal whenever Chris Pratt was announced as

835
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: a voice of Mario and we got that trailer and

836
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: everybody's like, he doesn't even sound like Mario. So I'm

837
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: at least lad that that conversation isn't happening right now.

838
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 1: But it also just shows you that people just get

839
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: outraged about the weirdest things, and then once everybody starts

840
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: jumping on it, it becomes a thing. I was just

841
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: surprised that nobody was sticking up for Peter Colin, who

842
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: is a voice acting legend. He also did e Or

843
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: in Winnie the Pooh. He was also the person doing

844
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: all the voice effects for Predator back in nineteen eighty seven,

845
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: and his voice has tickled all the parts of my

846
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: body while going to see his movies in theaters. You

847
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: also have Keegan Michael Key playing Bumblebee in this movie.

848
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: He must have the best agent in Hollywood, him and

849
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: Jesse Plemons, because Keegan Michael Key is almost without a doubt,

850
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: going to be in any animated movie you go see.

851
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: I saw him in Migration. He was also in the

852
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: Super Mario Brothers movie, and then in live action, he

853
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 1: was also in Wonka. I think it's because he has

854
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: such a great already animated voice and he really gets

855
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: into voice acting, so it's not so much that he

856
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: has to change his voice to fit all of these characters.

857
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: He just has so much just natural talent in his

858
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: voice that I feel like he is always the go

859
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: to at the top of the list. Between him and Aquafina,

860
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: there are no more voice acting roles to go around.

861
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: So after watching this trailer, I gotta remember that the

862
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: reason it has such a comedic tone is because it's

863
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: for kids, and that this movie is really not going

864
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: to be for me as much as I would want

865
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: it to. And I'm not opposed to going to see

866
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: kids movies. Quite honestly, I enjoy them because they have

867
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: that nostalgia feel they take me back to my childhood.

868
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 1: I was just hoping it was going to have a

869
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: little bit more of a niche to it, which was

870
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,439
Speaker 1: what they were teasing at CinemaCon, of having a little

871
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: bit of emotional depth. And maybe it's just because this

872
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 1: trailer wants to focus on the foot elements to get

873
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: kids excited about it. I didn't really see a whole

874
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: lot going on emotionally in that, combined with really not

875
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: having a unique animation style that I was looking for

876
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: up until they get their powers, it does lighten up

877
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: a bit, it gets a little bit more slick. But

878
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 1: if you compare it to the CGI used in the

879
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: live action movies, which looks so realistic and also so

880
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: much more expensive, what this movie just kind of looks

881
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: like is a cheap version of that. So I feel

882
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: like I'm missing out of having something worth spending my

883
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: money on. But again, this movie is coming out on

884
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: September twentieth. Autobots roll out and that is this week's

885
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: edition of Movie min Framer par and that is going

886
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: to do it for another episode here of the podcast.

887
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: But before I go, I gotta get my listeners shout

888
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: out of the week. This week, I am going over
