WEBVTT - Best Picture Breakdown (Part 2) 0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:05.360 Hey, they're focused in this episode. We watch them so 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:07.960 you don't have to. Welcome to part two of our 0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.400 Best Picture of preview here on Naming and PJ. We 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:15.720 have watched all of these Haska movies, so you don't 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:19.720 have to do so. Because Robes, these are long movies, 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:21.759 very really long movies. 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.720 This is a commitment of time and energy that I 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:26.800 don't think either one of us would have put into 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:29.920 it had it not been a self imposed work assignment. 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:34.000 The single one of the ten Best Picture nominees are 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.080 under two hours. The shortest one is Conclave, which is 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.559 exactly two hours. Is this just where we are now? 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:41.839 Movies are just going to be longer? 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.840 I don't know. Because it's funny. You and I typically, well, 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.320 we do like our horror genre, and it just so 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.839 happens that most horror movies are about an hour and 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.920 thirty minutes. So we have just kind of gotten used 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.000 to that ninety minute thing, and I just feel like 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:59.720 that's so doable. Two hours. You're pushing it two and 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.840 a half hours. That's tough. Three hours plus, that's a lot. 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.319 Okay, this is art, though, this is art. Rose look 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.759 full disclosure, everybody, we have not seen a single one 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.440 of the ten nominated films in the theater, but we 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.640 have seen just about all of them. If we haven't seen, 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:18.240 we have other folks in the room here with us. 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.480 We have our super producers, Andy, Emma and Sidney. If 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.760 you've listened to the podcast at all, you've heard their name. 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.120 So they joined us on this assignment of watching all 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.520 of these movies so we could give you a review 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.440 so you don't have to. We are going to do 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:39.120 today Conclave, Doom two, I'm Still Here, The Substance, and Wicked. 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:44.440 We will start with Conclave, nominated for eight Oscars Best Picture, 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.440 Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Original Score, Adapted Screenplay among them, 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:54.200 starring Ralph Fines, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, and Isabella Rosalini. 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.360 Directed by Edward Berger, this is based on a twenty 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.640 sixteen novel story that follows a cardinal task with running 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.720 the conclave to elect the next pope, and then secret 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.720 slies conspiracies are revealed that threatened the future of the church. 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.919 This one did well at the box office ninety eight 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.120 point five million dollars. If you'd like to watch it, 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.120 it is available on Peacock and it's also available on 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.120 video on demand if you want to rent or buy it. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:20.160 Runtime two hours, the shortest of the ten nominees, has 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.080 a ninety three percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and it 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.280 has picked up a very big award in the season, 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:30.400 the Best Film Award at the Baptist also Best Screenplay 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:35.680 at the Golden Globes Robes Conclave. Your first impression riveting 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.640 and Lightning and Lightning from Sydney. Emma didn't watch? Sorry, 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:41.640 Oh yeah, I'm sorry. I knew that. It's at the 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.280 top of my notes. I know that, Emma. 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.000 Sorry, I'm gonna admit I failed you. 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.560 I keep putting her in a position to say she failed. 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:58.440 She could never work for Elon Muss. What was Sure's handy? 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.600 I would say, modern classic, A. 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:10.640 Modern classic, I would My first impression was wow to 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:15.520 the ensemble cast. There is this crew of actors, is 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.880 the top of their game? That was my first impression. 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.600 Now we ropes have been covering for the past I 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.400 think several days a week plus. Now, what's happening with 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.800 the Pope? Him being in the hospital, his illness, the 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.680 timing just as wild? 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.040 Yeah? Is this art imitating life? Or is this life 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.240 imitating art? I don't know which it is, but certainly 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.880 I would imagine this has drawn a lot more folks 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:43.640 to watching this film because we're seeing potentially a conclave 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.320 playing out in front of us, or at least could 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.000 be happening in the next couple of weeks with Pope 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:53.120 Francis's deteriorating conditions. So you know, maybe perhaps a lot 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:58.040 of new new members of viewing audience have never witnessed 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.040 or seen a conclave happen. We've reported on them over 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.760 the years. I was raised Catholic myself, so I found 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.200 this film to be fascinating about the politicking that goes 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:12.840 on behind the scenes, and it I just think it's 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.720 I mean, the filmmakers could never have known how timely 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.679 it would be, but my goodness, it's worth a watch 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:19.680 given what's going on. 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:26.240 Uh Sydney Andy. I was struck by how much and 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.080 I guess we should know this, but I was struck 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.200 how much they nailed something that we find as sacred 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:37.280 as right church Catholics and these men who are at 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:41.760 the top, how just down and dirty. Yeah, and it's 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.840 just nothing but politics. These are nothing but politics. That 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.320 kind of was jarring to me to a certain degree. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:47.760 Yeah. 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.279 I think like that's why I was enlightening to me, 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.320 just kind of that like inside look inside the Roman 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:55.080 Catholic Church. I didn't know anything about Conclave, anything about 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.320 it going into this movie, and just like seeing all 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.080 of those like little minute details like kept me entertained 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:01.800 the whole time. 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.000 It was just like a bun. It was. 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.040 It's like if you look at it all around, it's 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.560 like almost slow. But it was like all those little 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.040 petty things that they were doing. I was like, oh 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:09.640 my god. 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:10.840 This is crazy to see. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.200 I don't know these leaders that you hold to such 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:14.200 a standard doing that. 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.920 It felt like watching Catholic Survivor, where like I didn't 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.599 know what was going on, like the politicking involved the 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.880 alliances that are formed trying to get people's votes. I 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.880 found that to be so fascinating. I loved like the 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.880 humor in it. I like because there were very funny parts, 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.400 Like I feel like the ending Ralph Find's character. I 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.520 won't give it away, but like he just at that point, 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.400 he just has a look on his face that I 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.480 just started laughing because I'm like, I feel so bad. 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.400 For this man. He's been put through the ringer. 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.479 Yes, and Ralph finds as an actor can say so 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.440 much just with his face, yeah, without even using his 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.080 own words. But I think for me, it's a reminder 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:58.599 when you watch this film that cardinals, popes are men. Men, 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:03.840 They're humans, and there is still there are, there will 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:08.120 always be elements of greed and power and corruption, no 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:12.400 matter what organization you're looking into or inside, whether it's 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.440 you know, even a church, still has those same elements. 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:21.200 Because these are men, they are not anything extraordinary in 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.200 terms of just their humanness was on full display. It 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.599 was a pretty cool potential look into what may be 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:28.839 going on actually right now. 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.679 It was just so well acted these guys. Ray Fines 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.520 is just I don't think he's picked up any major 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:39.560 awards in this award season, but he is just He 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.360 carries the movie and I forgot about I think I 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:42.839 can remember which one of you said it, but there's 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.640 a scene at the end where it just all comes 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.800 out of him. Yeah, and you see it and like, god, 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:48.520 this poor guy. I also have. 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.200 Isabella Roslini too. She was amazing too. She had like 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:55.000 one scene that was it, but she nailed that scene 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:55.920 so well. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.680 The cafeteria, right y, Yeah. 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.039 I didn't recognize her at first it took me a 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.200 second say, wait, is that Isabella Rosselini? 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:04.880 Yeah? 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.400 And sure enough, and she was so good I thought, oh, 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:11.640 John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci. I just think it was such 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.360 a good cast. And these are men who you see 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.200 usually do very different characters, so it was cool to 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.400 see them all together in this setting. 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.160 And there is a twist twist at the end. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:23.600 There's a big twist. 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.560 You will don't. I don't care who you are, you 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:27.440 will not guess it. 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.920 No, damn yeah, if you read about it, if you're 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.560 going in, you will never guess it. 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.040 You will not guess it. So if you had to 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.080 recommend it, Andy, would you recommend it to a friend? 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:36.280 And what? 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:41.040 Absolutely? I think it is just again a modern classic. 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.000 I think you can go back and rewatch this. The 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.840 rewatchability is like through the roof. You can show it 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.720 to friends who you don't have to invest or feel like, 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.720 I don't know, the Brutalist. You just watch it and 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.200 you just started just like, oh that was heavy. This 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:54.760 one you can kind of just watch and it ends 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.040 and you're like, I really like that. And now it's 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.680 nominated for Best Picture. So wow, it's easy for me 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.000 to died, So I. 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.560 Would one hundred percent recommend it. I think it's it's 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.480 just such an interesting watch. Like I think, no matter 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.440 who you are anything like, you'll be invested in this, 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.880 in this story and who comes out on top. And 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:14.840 I just think, yeah, I would definitely recommend it. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:16.560 I'm just kidding. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.560 We're recommending to you, Emma that you should watch it 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.240 in your free time. No, it's it's a it's a 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.480 great thriller. I think that's you know, it's just you're 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.040 you're waiting, and I don't think it disappoints the ending. 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.760 Whether you like it or not, it still was thrilling 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.520 at the end. So I would absolutely recommend this to anybody. 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.400 It's thrilling, that is, and it's so well acted. I 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.439 respect every in. Some of the names of the guy 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.480 when you see their faces, you're like, oh that guy 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.320 was the is just so good. So yes, absolutely recommend this. 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:50.280 All Right, Okay, we'll move on now to Dune two, 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:54.560 nominated for five Oscars. Uh TJ, you're already giving away 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.680 how you feel about the movie. All right, five Oscars 0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:01.400 Best Picture, Sound, Visual Effects, Production, Design, and Cinematography. It 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.959 stars oh a name we've heard before. Timothy Shallimey Zendeia, 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:11.000 Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Broland, Austin Butler, Florence Pew, Christopher walk In, 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:16.480 Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista. It's it's really a who's who 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.280 in the acting world. Every time a new scene was coming, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.680 I was like, wait, what, they're in it too. That's 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.880 how I felt when I was watching it. It's all 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.440 based on a nineteen sixty five novel by Frank Herbert 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.760 and the sequel to twenty twenty one's Dune Part one, 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.880 So Dune Part two picks up where Dune Part one 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.560 left off. It follows Paul, who is a messiah like 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.920 figure who rallies a group of desert indigenous desert people 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.280 waging a war for the universe and seeking revenge on 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.760 those who destroyed his family. This was a box office juggernaut. 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.040 Seven hundred and fourteen point six million dollars. That's how 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.720 much it grossed at the box office. The runtime is 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:59.120 a little daunting two hours and forty six minutes. It 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.160 definitely took us quite a while to watch this one. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.800 Rotten Tomato score ninety two and so far. Best Picture 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.640 nominations BAFTA and Critics' Choice Awards Golden Globes as well. 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.880 So it's gotten a lot of nominations, and we'll go 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.520 around and find out what you all thought about it. 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.760 First impressions, Andy, epic. 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:20.760 Great cast, stunning. 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:26.040 I was not a fan amazing Okay, wow, not a 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.080 fan amazing wow. We were sitting next to each other 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.240 watching this, not a fan, an amazing movie. I get 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.160 what you're saying. You know what, We're gonna say the 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:39.520 same thing here. Imagine, folks, if today someone came to 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:46.960 you and said, go watch this Star Wars sequel to 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.720 the original Star Wars, so you would go have to 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.800 watch episode five, The Empire Strikes Back, which is the 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.240 sequel to the original Star Wars. See how confusing that is. 0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.439 What I'm saying is if you try to just jump 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.200 into Doom Part two, it is such an epic story 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.200 that you did. There's so much catching up to do 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.920 and the nuance and the understanding that it makes it 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:13.120 difficult to watch if you're new to the story. I 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.480 say wow, and this thing was amazing is because it 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.679 is movie making on the grandest, most epic, biggest, most 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.320 beautiful scale that you look at and go wow. But 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.520 it was tough to follow if you're new to the game. 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:31.120 Correct, So the nominations actually mirror exactly what you're saying. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.760 What this film is nominated for. I fully support sound, 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:39.800 visual effects, production design, cinematography. All of that absolutely makes sense. Look, 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.680 I'm someone who is a fan of sci fi and 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.560 I love all the Star Wars, we love Game of Thrones. 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:53.720 I like complicated, complex storytelling. However, unfortunately, maybe I because 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.120 I tried to watch Dune Part one on a plane 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.760 and fell asleep. I already came into it thinking like, 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.319 how am I gonna catch up? And then I found 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:08.800 myself actually having to google the story while I was 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.760 watching it to make sense of it. And so I 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.640 maybe this is just my own ego, but I felt 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.720 dumb watching it. I was having a hard time following 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.800 it and what they were saying. There's a lot of 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.240 language that doesn't exist, It's like ancient language. So I 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.360 just I felt mired in all of the complexities of 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.640 the story that I didn't fully grasp, and so that 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.120 is the only reason why it was just it took 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:35.800 too much effort for me to follow along. 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.080 Okay, Doom, we didn't see Doom one. I fell asleep 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.439 on a plane as well on Doing One. Not earlier 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.319 it happened. But did everybody over there see Doing One? 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:43.640 Yes? 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.720 You did not, Okay, so you told us. Actually, Andy, 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.040 you say, hey, you'll be fine watching this movie if 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.920 you haven't seen Doing One. But you love this one. 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.439 I personally, I know I can't be given away how 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.680 I feel like until the end. But this is my 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.760 favorite movie of the year. I think it's epic. I 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.720 think it's amazing. I love the story, I love the music. 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.559 I think everything about it just works for me. I loved, 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.840 loved it. I think it just I don't know, it 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.560 just comes together perfectly. I saw it three times in 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.240 the theater. What way I know. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:18.199 I'm sorry you saw it three times in the theater. 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:19.839 With different people because it kept being like I need 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.320 to see this again. And on IMAX, let me tell 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.720 you something. That worm scene where he's on the worm 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.560 and ride in the worm. I was feeling things and 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.840 this man is writing a worm and I'm getting like, 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.280 damn you go. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:36.000 Were the worms like adversaries or were they. 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:36.920 They are bad? 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.959 But yes, they contained the worm? 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:42.480 Okay, it was part of my computer. 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.840 I really wish I got to see that in Imax 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.040 or whatever it is that I think would have changed 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.560 everything for me, because I already thought it was so 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.240 stunning just watching it on my TV. 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.200 Yeah, and I saw it and Imax that one, and 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.000 then they did like a special limited run with like 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.920 Imax seventy millimeters or something, which is like old. I 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:01.200 don't know. 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.680 I in theater three times to see a two hour 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:05.960 and forty six minute film. 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.120 To me, the same way that you said the brutalist 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.240 friends told you that that like the three and a 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.200 half hour runtime didn't feel like that to me. Every 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.400 time I watch it, I'm just blown away the whole time, 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:16.920 where I don't even notice the runtime. 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.240 You spent eight hours and fifteen minutes of your life, 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:33.280 and I'll do it again, DJ happily in the theater, 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:34.880 Emma help us here. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.320 Well, I didn't see doing part one, and so that 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.480 I think, agreeing with Amy, that kind of threw me 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.400 off because I also like sci fi, but I have 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.920 to know what's going on, and I should have seen 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.640 it before, even though I heard from many people, you 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.800 don't have to see the first one to understand it. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:54.000 So you talked to Andy too. 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.440 He told you that everyone said you didn't have to 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.320 see the first and so I wish I would have 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.200 because I am a huge Star Wars fan as well. 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.720 But I think it's important to be able to have 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.400 the knowledge to follow correctly. 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.280 It's a big story. Yeah, it's such a big story. 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.760 I love this story. I just that's like my type 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.720 of narrative, Like that's the movie I want to see. 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.880 And I think it's just it's so hard to pull 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.640 off sometimes and I think for it being a sequel, 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.600 they're just able to do it so well in my opinion, and. 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.880 People should know they're is star after star after star 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.440 after star that keeps showing up in this movie. It's 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:26.760 not real. 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:28.120 I was so shocked. 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.600 And there's like one random shot of like Anya Taylor Joy. 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:31.520 I was like, wait what. 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:32.440 I was so confused. 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:35.720 Oh yeah, well she had a few lines. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.280 Yeah, but I was just like for her for such 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:39.080 a big star too. 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:40.960 So she'll be in the next one for sure, because 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.120 that's the sister. 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:47.520 Rebecca Ferguson Bardam, you have Shala, may have Zendaia, we 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:52.720 have Josh Brolin. This movie was jam. Yes, Christopher Walken. 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:54.600 It's yes, Austin Butler. 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.680 I had to start that I did have fun actually 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.520 just seeing the who's who in the cast, and I 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.200 appreciated all of the art that was involved in it. 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.560 I just the movie made me feel dumb. 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.800 No, no, no, it's a complex story and okay, we 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.920 get put notes together for this podcast. This is the 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.520 one note on the synopsis of Doom Too that took 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.240 me the longest. I read and read and read, and 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.000 I couldn't just summarize what this movie was about. It 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:27.840 is big, it's complex, and at the end of this one, 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:29.760 I don't is he a good guy or bad guy? 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.680 That's the thing. It's like he started in Uprising and 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.280 you don't know, like is he too far gone into 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.040 it and he's not like he he kind of forgot 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.040 who he was in the midst of all of it. 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:41.920 And I found that to me like amazing. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.240 Ki. Yeah, it was kind of Khalisi and we love 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.840 Game of Throne, so like we're into all of that storytelling. 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.680 But it was one of those questions where yes, he 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.960 was propped up as a messiah like figure, but I 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.720 don't know who's bad, who's good, who's right, who's wrong. 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.840 And I know that's part of the excitement of the movie, 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.200 but it also was frustrating me. I wanted to know 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:02.480 who to root for. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.720 But it's gorgeous, though. If you had to friend comes 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:09.080 up to you, Hey, Sidney, should I see Done too? 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.320 You would say what, yes, even alone, just for the 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.240 cast and for how attractive Timothy Shallimey looks in that movie. 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.440 Aside from the visual aspects of Dune and whatnot, I. 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.080 Was just like, Yeah, his hair is so well conditioned 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:25.359 to be in the desert. He has some great product. Emma, 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.400 would you recommend this to a friend? 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:29.480 I would recommend it to a certain friend, and I 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.280 would say, if they are invested in the story, to 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:33.359 watch both movies. 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.000 I mean I saw it three times already, so absolutely 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:37.119 y yeah to. 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.320 Ask, yeah, I don't think I would recommend it to 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:40.080 anyone that I know. 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.080 I just don't, you know, that's a good point. I 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.679 don't know if I would. I respect it. I think 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:47.840 it's gorgeous. It's just not my lane, and that's okay. 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.399 I actually don't think it needs a recommendation because the 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.440 fans are the fans, and they're built in and they're huge, 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.240 and I don't need to convince anybody to see something. 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.240 If you didn't choose to go see it. I don't 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.439 know that you would want to go see it. 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.960 I had never read the books, so for me, the 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.359 movies are what kind of made me a fan. Okay, 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:05.440 And I don't think I can read the book because 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.160 it is too big, and I have tried after watching 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.520 the movies. But yeah, no, no, the movies got me in. 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.359 Oh yeah, he'll go to the theater three times. No, 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:16.320 I'm not going to read that big book. 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:21.280 Ages and imagine all those characters but written out, I. 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.560 Can't keep that. That's okay, good point, That's tough. All right. 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:25.360 Next one, We're going to get through quickly, and I'll 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.080 explain why here in a second. Next one, I'm still here. 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.680 Nominated for three Oscars Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:36.360 International Feature Film. Fernanda Torres starring in This One. Directed 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.119 by Walter Salez, this is a foreign film about a 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.199 woman who tries to hold her family together after her 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.640 husband's disappearance at the hands of Brazil's a brutal dictatorship. 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.200 This made twenty seven point three million dollars at the 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:51.960 box office worldwide. It is still in limited theatrical release 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:53.879 if you want to try to find it. Runtime of 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.720 two hours fifteen minutes. I believe this is the highest 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.800 Rotten Tomato score of all the films, ninety seven percent 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:05.560 Rotten Tomato score. It has gotten all the big major nominations, 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:10.520 but no major wins. However, Fernanda Torres did receive the 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:14.600 Best Actress at the Golden Globes. We have to say here, 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.480 nobody was able to see this one. We can't find 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:22.119 it anywhere streaming, there's nowhere online, and it's limited release. 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:23.679 It's hard to find in a theater if you want 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:25.720 to check it out. But the word on it, I 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.720 guess who I know? Andy, You're one that's very much 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:32.239 in the movies and know what's going on. But who 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.639 can speak on this for what have you heard about it? 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:39.440 And has it been recommended to anybody in this room. 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.560 I heard that she's really good in it, and so 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.240 I do want to see it for that reason. It's 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.040 just so hard to find anywhere because it's an international release, 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.600 so those things usually take like months and months to 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.520 get on video on demand. But I do want to 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:53.600
