Can 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: you determine whether these actors are self made or did 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: they grow up with famous parents?

And in the trailer park we'll talk 12 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: about the new Whitney Houston biopic called I Want to 13 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: Dance with Somebody coming to theaters later this year. Thank you, 14 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: yes you're listening now for being subscribed in listening every 15 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: single week. Shout out to the Monday Morning movie crew. 16 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: Let's talk movies. In a world where everyone and their 17 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: mother has a podcast, one man stands to infiltrate the 18 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: ears of listeners like never before in a movie podcast. 19 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: A man with so much movie knowledge, he's basically like, Oh, 20 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: walk an audience, who It's closer? From the Nashville Podcast Network, 21 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: moviecas Rags and riches. That is the name of the 22 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: game we are playing today. Can you determine if I 23 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: give you an actor whether they were self made or 24 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: whether they grew up with famous parents. And before I 25 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: get into this game, I didn't want to have this 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: episode come off as like a negative tone of like, oh, 27 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: look at these actors who grew up with famous parents 28 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: and had everything handed to them. I think you do 29 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: come from an advantage when you do have famous parents 30 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: who can easily plug you into the industry. In some cases, 31 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: some of these actors it was because of their parents 32 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: that they got their very first role. It's not always 33 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: the case. And just because you have famous parents and 34 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: you want to be an actor doesn't mean it's an 35 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: automatic thing. There are other actors who have very famous 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: actor parents or even very famous director parents, sometimes so 37 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: big that you think, well, how come their career hasn't 38 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: completely taken off. You still have to have the talent, 39 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: you still have to have the drive. But yes, being 40 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: born with an advantage of already being plugged into that industry, 41 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: I think it does come sometimes a little easier when 42 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: the money is there to grease the wheels, when the 43 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: parents are there to connect you with the right people. 44 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: So I do think you already start and an advantage, 45 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: and I think just us as normal people, we like 46 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: to hear stories about people who come from nothing, and 47 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: I think with the way I grew up, I tend 48 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: to identify with those actors and just celebrities in general 49 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: more because of how I grew up. I think I've 50 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: been dealing with that a lot recently, of thinking of 51 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: how much growing up in a trailer park, not having 52 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: a lot of extras, having the bare minimum, and seeing 53 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: my parents struggle a lot just to put food on 54 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: the table and to have things that myself and my 55 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: siblings needed growing up. I feel like that kind of 56 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: really shaped my work ethic. It's shaped a lot of 57 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: my moral fiber, And even though it wasn't the easiest 58 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: way to grow up, I really think in that if 59 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: I didn't grow up that way, I wouldn't have the 60 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: drive that I do now and be in the position 61 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: I'm in. So that is always how I look at it. 62 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: So I don't know what it was like for some 63 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: of these people to grow up rich and have famous parents, 64 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: but I think at the end of the day, even 65 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: though you're given all the tools that come with having money. 66 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: I don't think that automatically translates to success. But obviously, 67 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 1: when you start to look into Hollywood, man, you realize 68 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: how many people have famous parents and how many people 69 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: got easily plugged in. But I'm just saying, yeah, if 70 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: you have famous parents and you want to be an actor, 71 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: I don't think you should hold that against them. In 72 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: the same way that my dad the truck driver, if 73 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: I wanted to be a truck driver, nobody would really 74 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: look down on me because I took that same path 75 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: and had the same connections because of my dad being 76 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: a truck driver. But anyway, now that we've gotten so 77 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: philosophical on a movie podcast, let's get into the game 78 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: rags or riches, Starting first with one of the biggest 79 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: Hollywood actors of all time, Leonardo DiCaprio, known for movies 80 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: like Titanic, Inception, Wolf of Wall Street, The Revenant. Do 81 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: you think Leonardo DiCaprio grew up with rags or grew 82 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: up with riches? And the answer is Leonardo DiCaprio grew 83 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: up in poverty. He did not have famous parents. He 84 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: lived in a rough neighborhood in California. He was exposed 85 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: to some pretty dark things growing up, including drug abuse, 86 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: and he used to beg his mom to take him 87 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: to auditions in order to escape the situation he was 88 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: growing up in. And because of his drive and determination 89 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: to want to be an actor, he was able to 90 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: get a scholarship to a private elementary school. So maybe 91 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: on paper, you think, oh, he went to a private 92 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: elementary school, he must have grown up rich at some point. 93 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: That was not the case for Leonardo DiCaprio. In an interview, 94 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: he said that he in fact grew up very poor 95 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: and was able to come from that kind of background 96 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: and become one of the richest actors ever to exist 97 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: in Hollywood. And I can kind of see that with 98 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio. Even though we do see the millionaire playboy 99 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: partying on yachts, he does do a lot to give 100 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: back to the environment, aside from taking a lot of 101 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: rides in his private jet. But I feel like there 102 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: is some humanitarian in him, some philanthropy in him that 103 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: does exist, that he does use his platform and does 104 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: use his money to give back to people. So with 105 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: somebody like Leonardo DiCaprio, it is interesting to learn that 106 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: starting out as such a young actor, I mean going 107 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: back to his very early days being on TV in 108 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: his early movie roles, that he didn't grow up in 109 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: the best situation kind of put some of that stuff 110 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: into perspective. So at number one, Leonardo DiCaprio grew up 111 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: in rags. Question number two Angelina Jolie. Did she come 112 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: from rags or did she come from riches place? Your 113 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: guess is now. Angelina Jolie, of course known for numerous movies. 114 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: The first movie that's coming to mind right now for 115 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: some reason is Tomb Raider, not even close to being 116 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: her most famous movie, but movies like Girl Interrupted, Maleficent, Salt, 117 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: Mr and Mrs Smith. Did she come from rags or 118 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: did she come from riches? The answer is she grew 119 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: up in riches. Angelina Jolie actually has a very famous father, 120 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: which I didn't learn until later because they used different 121 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,119 Speaker 1: last names. Her famous father is John Voight, who was 122 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: a leading man long before she was ever on screen. 123 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: He is known for movies like Ana Condam and Like Cowboy. 124 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: He was the jerk coach in Varsity Blues, which is 125 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: one of the first movies that I remember seeing him in, 126 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: and at that time I had no idea he was 127 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 1: Angelina Jolie's father, but her first acting role was actually 128 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: in a movie called Looking to Get Out, which was 129 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: a movie written by her dad. He also played the 130 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: lead role in that movie, and she played well you 131 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: guessed that, his daughter, and in that movie she was 132 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: credited as Angelina Jolie. Her father, John Void, is an 133 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: Academy Award winning actor, and just like her father, Angelina 134 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: Jolie also won an Oscar, but the odds of winning 135 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: an Oscar are almost one in twelve thousand, so the 136 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: odds of you winning an Oscar and your kid going 137 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: on to win an Oscar are even slimmer than that, 138 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: which is just fascinating to me. That just makes me 139 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: think of people who were famous athletes and won Super 140 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: Bowls and then their kids go on to win Super Bowls. 141 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: There's probably just something in your DNA that you were 142 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: already born with and destined to be that great. I 143 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: do think Angelina Jolie was able to keep some of 144 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: that separation by not using his last name. But if 145 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: you guess famous parents for Angelina Jolie and that she 146 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: grew up in riches, you'd be correct. Number three Drew 147 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: Barrymore Rags or Riches known for her early work as 148 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: a kid actor. Et also movies like Never Been Kissed 149 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: and movies like fifty First States. Now she does a 150 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: talk show which is quite popular and now you've probably 151 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: seen her on TikTok. Drew Barrymore rags or riches, and 152 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: the correct answer is riches. But that doesn't mean she 153 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: had an easy childhood. She actually had two famous people 154 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: in her family, her dad, John Drew Barrymore, who was 155 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: an actor, and her grandfather, also John Barrymore. So Hollywood 156 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: was really just in her blood, coming from a Hollywood dynasty. 157 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: And Drew Barrymore made her film debut when she was 158 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: only five years old, which isn't that surprising when you 159 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: have not only a famous dad but also a famous grandfather. 160 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: And again, just because you grow up with famous parents 161 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: and grandparents and you have success as an actor, that 162 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have a golden road before you, as 163 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore struggled with a lot of things being a 164 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: child actor, just being so famous so early on in 165 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: your life when your brain is still developing. All the 166 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: crazy things she experienced because of you know, being on 167 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: a set all the time, and the abuse and the 168 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: struggles with drugs and alcohol that she had, which has 169 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: been long documented, and she's had an incredible career despite 170 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: all those things in Hollywood, has been in a lot 171 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: of iconic movies. And I just like that she now 172 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: uses her voice and uses the struggle she's been through 173 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: to kind of shed light on what it is to 174 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: grow up as a kid. Actor. So Drew Barrymore did 175 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: come from riches, but didn't have the easiest road. At 176 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: number five in the game, Tom Cruise top gun himself, 177 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: Mission Impossible, Vanilla s Guy Jerry McGuire. The list goes 178 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: on a non say what you want about him as 179 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: a person. But did he grow up from rags or 180 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: did he grow up with riches? Place your guess is 181 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: in now and the answer for Tom Cruise he is 182 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: from rags. He did not grow up with famous parents, 183 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: did not grow up from a great situation. The actor 184 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: had dyslexia. When he was a child, He was bullied 185 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: by his class. It's in His life at home was 186 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: described by him as miserable. He said his father wasn't 187 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: a caring parent and as a result, he became a 188 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: problem child, and in his later years he asked his 189 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: mom to let him leave the house, and after his 190 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: parents were divorced, and after he left even dropped his 191 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: last name, which is Mapether. He is Thomas Cruise Mapether 192 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: and just became Tom Cruise. And at twelve years old, 193 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: he was an orphan and that's when he decided to 194 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: pursue what he felt was his destiny was to become 195 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: an actor. And he left home with only a guitar 196 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: and a Duffel bag filled with some of his things. 197 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: He later got a manager and lived in Manhattan and 198 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: then became the Tom Cruise we know him as and 199 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: what I see in Tom Cruise. Even though he seems 200 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: pretty crazy and bizarre, he does have an astounding work 201 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: ethic when it comes to even movies now that he 202 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: does at his age, at the level of his career 203 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: that he is, he still puts it in a lot 204 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: of hours and has a very designed way on how 205 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: he likes to approach movies. How he is involved in 206 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: every aspect of a movie, from the soundtrack, to the locations, 207 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: to his co stars, to the very actions performed inside 208 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: of his movies, which he is very involved in, sometimes 209 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: going to very extreme links and he has had major 210 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: success doing that even now this year with Top Gun 211 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: Maverick being one of the highest grossing movies of the year, 212 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: one of the highest grossing movies now of all time. 213 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: I think a lot of that comes from how you 214 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: grow up, how we always go back to those things 215 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: that drive us, of not having the best life at home, 216 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: not having all the things you wanted as a kid, 217 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: and being able to experience that later. So I do 218 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: feel like some of that drive probably exists from that, 219 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: and maybe some of the reasons that he has kind 220 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: of screwed up sometimes can go back to him not 221 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: having the best life at home as a kid and 222 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: not having parents at all when he was twelve years old. 223 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: So Tom Crews grew up from rags and had a 224 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: very interesting start to his early career. Now at number six, 225 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: Gwyneth Paltrow, do you think she grew up from rags 226 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: or do you think she grew up from riches? Well 227 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: she self made or does she have some famous parents 228 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: who helped her out along the way, And the answer 229 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: for Gwyneth Paltrow is she grew up with riches. She 230 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: is the daughter of actor Blythe Danner and director producer 231 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: Bruce Paltrow. Gwyneth Paltrow actually made her TV debut in 232 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: a movie called High, which her dad wrote, directed, and produced. 233 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: So her dad did give her her first role ever, 234 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: gave her her start into the business, So that's a 235 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: pretty big advantage. I almost feel like having a famous 236 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: director or writer or producer feels like the easier plug 237 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: and play because they can just put you in whatever 238 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: they're working on right now. I think when you have 239 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: a famous actor as a parent, it's more for the 240 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: name recognition of people associating you with your parents and 241 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: just seeing that last name of like, oh, it's so 242 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: and so those kids. She kind of had it both, 243 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: but kind of reversed in her way because her dad 244 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: was Bruce Paltrow who was this director and producer, and 245 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: her mom was Blast Danner, who you may recognize for 246 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: Meet the Parents or Will and Grace, So both had 247 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: some weight to their name, her mom being an actress 248 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: since the seventies and her daughter coming along and being 249 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: more famous than probably both of them combined at this point. 250 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: Moving on now to number seven, Jennifer Aniston. Did she 251 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: come from rags or did she come from riches? Jennifer Aniston, 252 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: who obviously got her start as Rachel and Friends. But 253 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: I've really become more a fan of her career post 254 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: Friends in movies, with movies like Where the Miller's Just 255 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: Go with It, Horrible Bosses, Marley and Me. I think 256 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: she does pretty good at comedies, even in movies like 257 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: Bruce Almighty. So I really liked her work in movies, 258 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: and probably more recently I like her in The Morning 259 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: Show kind of shows a little bit more of her 260 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: dramatic side. She's done some drama movies like the movie 261 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: KG back in I think she's really just one perfect 262 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: role away from having like an Oscar worthy performance. I 263 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: can really see that in Jennifer Aniston. But going back 264 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: to the game, rags are riches for Jennifer Aniston, and 265 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: the correct answer is riches. She has a famous dad 266 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: named John Anniston. He was a well known star of 267 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: the popular daytime drama Days of Our Lives in the eighties, 268 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: so he was already pretty familiar with the television industry, 269 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: and thanks to her father, got her start in TV 270 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: as well. So Jennifer Andiston famous parents grew up with riches. 271 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: At number eight, Hillary Swank, rags or riches that you 272 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: have famous parents or is she self made. Hillary Swank, 273 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: who I first remember seeing as Julie in The Next 274 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: Karate Kid back in nine, actually has two Academy Awards 275 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: to her name. She wonted two thousand for Boys Don't 276 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: Cry and then again in two thousand and five for 277 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: Million Dollar Baby. But did she do it with the 278 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: help of famous parents? And the answer is Hillary Swink 279 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: grew up in rags. She is self made. She grew 280 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: up in a trailer park in Washington State. Her mom 281 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: was a secretary and a dancer, and her father was 282 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: in the Oregon Air National Guard and later was a 283 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: traveling salesman, which She grew up in a trailer park 284 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: with her mother until the age of fifteen, until her 285 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: mom lost her job and the two moved out to 286 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: California in hopes that Hillary Swink could make it in Hollywood. 287 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: Her dad was no longer in the picture, so it 288 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: was her and her mom and they slept in their 289 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: car or at friends home during this time, and later 290 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: Hillary Swink ended up dropping out of high school. So 291 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: I find myself relating with Hillary Swink. I also lived 292 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: in a trailer park up until the age of fifteen. 293 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: The trailer park will really shape you and When I 294 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: think about the trailer I grew up in, it was 295 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: very small and there was five of us in there. 296 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: Couldn't have friends over. You can't really do all the 297 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: things you see all the other people in school growing up. 298 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: So it leads you to have a very kind of 299 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: fascinating imagination, or it leads you in some cases to 300 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: do something creative, whether it be acting or music. Is 301 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: there's just something that I feel when you grow up 302 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: like that, you need a kind of escape. And if 303 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: it's not something creative, sometimes it's negative, which is sad. 304 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: A lot of the times of seeing people around me 305 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: go through very hard things. So not the easiest way 306 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: to grow up, but I think it'll definitely be more 307 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: appreciative of things later in life. So Hillary Swink grew 308 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: up in ranks. Next up at number nine Sylvester Stallone, 309 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: Rocky Balboa himself. Does he embody the character of Rocky 310 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: of going from nothing to having it all? Or did 311 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: he come from a family that was able to plug 312 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: him into Hollywood. The name Stallone kind of sounds like 313 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: a cool name. Maybe he had a famous dad, maybe 314 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: he had a famous director. What do you think rags 315 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: are riches when it comes to Sylvester Stallone, the answer 316 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: is rags. Sylvester Stallone and his younger brother Frank, grew 317 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: up with a rocky childhood, spending time in foster care 318 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,479 Speaker 1: due to his parents hostile relationships. So I didn't have 319 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: famous parents, didn't even have parents who got along. He 320 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: eventually ended up in Philadelphia living with his mom and 321 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: her second husband, but they still continued to struggle. So 322 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: Rocky a k a. Sylvester Stallone definitely had a hard 323 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: childhood growing up, and he finally decided to leave Philadelphia 324 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: in a leap of faith, move to New York and 325 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: started pursuing acting. He took up all kinds of odd 326 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: jobs at this time, just trying to make ends meet, 327 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: including cleaning lion cages at the Central Park Zoo, and 328 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: then went on to write and star in one of 329 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: the most famous sports dramas of all time, Rocky, which 330 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: is an incredible franchise in itself, But he grew his 331 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: career even further of just being one of the most 332 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: recognizable faces in action movies and now still continues to 333 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: make movies. And it did it all from the ground up. 334 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: So just like the character Rocky, he went from Rags 335 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: to Riches. Next up at number ten Jamie Lee Curtis, 336 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: who you would know from movies like Halloween, Freaky Friday. 337 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: Most recently, she had been in movies like Knives Out 338 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: or one of my favorite movies of the year, Everything everywhere, 339 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 1: all at once. Did she come from rags or did 340 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: she come from riches? The answer is Jamie Lee Curtis 341 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: had famous mom Janet Lee, which this is fascinating to 342 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: me because if you don't know who Janet Lee is, 343 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: she was in one of the most iconic horror movies 344 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: of all time, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, in one of the 345 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: most iconic horror scenes that even if you haven't seen Psycho, 346 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: you're probably familiar with this scene and that goes down 347 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: in the shower. The movie is black and white, and 348 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: it is Janet Lee who is that woman in the 349 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: shower who gets stabbed to that screeching soundtrack. She has 350 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: that famous scream, so it's like mother like daughter of 351 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: Janet Lee also being a famous scream queen. You know, 352 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: going back earlier to John Voight and Angelina Jolie both 353 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: being Austro winners. This is Jamie Lee Curtis and her 354 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: mom Janet Lee, both being in very memorable horror scenes. 355 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: Psycho came out in nineteen sixty and just eighteen years later, 356 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: her daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis, had her breakout role in 357 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: the movie Halloween in what I would consider a comparable 358 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: iconic scene whenever Michael Myers is tearing through the closet 359 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: and you see Jamie Lee Curtis down there on the 360 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: floor screaming as he's doing it. I think if you 361 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: put together a list of iconic horror scenes, which I'll 362 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: probably do next month in honor of Halloween in October, 363 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: those two are definitely on that list. So Jamie Lee 364 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: Curtis comes from riches with her famous mom, Janet Lee. 365 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: So those were ten actors. Five came from rags, five 366 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: came from riches. How did you do tally at her 367 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: final score? Did you get any right? Hopefully you did, 368 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: and even if you didn't do that, well, maybe you 369 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 1: learn some things in that episode. And that brings us 370 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: to the movie review I'm about to do. And the 371 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: reason I kind of thought of this topic is Maya 372 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: Hawk is in this next movie called Do Revenge, which 373 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: is on Netflix, and she has two famous parents who 374 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: her mom is Uma Thurman and her dad is Ethan Hawk, 375 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: and she almost looks like a splitting image of her 376 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: mom and somehow her dad at the exact same time. 377 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: And I've seen her outdoing press for this movie saying 378 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: that she hasn't seen some of her parents biggest movies. 379 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: She says she hasn't seen Reality Bites or any of 380 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: the kill Bill and movies, which is fascinating to me 381 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: because if I had to parents who were famous actors, 382 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: I would immediately go watch every single one of their movies. 383 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: And I know that's just because I love movies, but 384 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: I would want that connection with my parents of like, oh, 385 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: remember you need to this movie. I would ask him 386 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: about that. I would want to get advice from them. 387 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: I just can't imagine sitting on a library of movies 388 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,719 Speaker 1: starring your parents and you just not watch them, especially 389 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: when you were out being an actor as well and 390 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: starring in really big movies and TV shows. Now I 391 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: find that fascinating. But Maya Hawk, clearly, with having two 392 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: famous parents, grew up with riches. But even when I 393 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: first saw her on Stranger Things, I didn't immediately think, oh, 394 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: that's Uma Thurman's daughter or that's Ethan Hawk's daughter. It 395 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: was kind of later that I realized the connection even 396 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: though her last name is Hawk, But I can definitely 397 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: see a lot of Uma Thurman in her. But I 398 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: feel like she has become an actor in her own 399 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: right of really kind of having some breakout roles early on. 400 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: So without a doubt she has the talent aside from 401 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: just having the name being recognizable. So we'll come back 402 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: and talk about her new movie, Do Revenge after this. 403 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: Let's get into that movie review now. It's a movie 404 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: called Do Revenge, which is on Netflix as of this weekend. 405 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: It's about two high school students named Dreya and Eleanor, 406 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: and the character Drea has just had a topless video 407 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: of herself spread all over school by her at the 408 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: time boyfriend, and she is now being rejected by the 409 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: school and all of her former friends. And then Eleanor 410 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: in the movie, has a rumor spread about her attempting 411 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: to kiss another girl, which has also ruined her life, 412 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: and the two decide to form a relationship to go 413 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: after each other's bullies, which leads to the title of 414 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: the movie. They are doing revenge for each other. So 415 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: before I get into more details and what I thought 416 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: about this movie. Here's just a little bit of the trailer. 417 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: Max ruined my life. I know what it's like to 418 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: get puffed over by someone you thought you could trust. 419 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: Chris and John. She started a nasty burmer about me. 420 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: She told everyone that I tried to hold her down 421 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: and kiss her, turn me into this predator. She destroyed me. 422 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: I wish you could hire people to take him down. 423 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: We should team up and do each other's revenge. Don't 424 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: you want to make her pay. I don't want to 425 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: make her pay. I want to burn her to the ground. 426 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: So I know. Oftentimes you've heard me do movie reviews, 427 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: and I always talk about the first twenty minutes of 428 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: a movie, which I feel are the most pivotal. I 429 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: feel like in those first twenty minutes you can really 430 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: decide whether a movie is going to be good or not. 431 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: And I'll say, this is a movie that kind of 432 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: disproved my theory. It disproved everything I thought about those 433 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: first twenty minutes, because within the first twenty minutes of 434 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: this one, I didn't really enjoy it. I didn't really 435 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: know where it was going. I watched it with my 436 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: wife and in the first part of the movie, I 437 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: asked her, like, what is this movie even about. It's 438 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: a little bit all over the place at the start 439 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: of it, because it really sets the stage for the 440 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: first character, Drea's life and her life in high school, 441 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: which I also was trying to place where this movie 442 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: was actually taking place that as far as what age 443 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: group we were looking at. And I didn't really like 444 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: the stylistic approach at the beginning of this movie. And 445 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: then later it introduced Maya Hawks character Eleanor and how 446 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: their two lives started to intertwine. And it was once 447 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: those two characters actually came together on screen where I 448 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: felt like the movie really found its groove. It was 449 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: able to find its footing and all these other kind 450 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: of pieces that were all over the place, and I 451 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: didn't know which characters to focus on. That's when it 452 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: really became the movie. So if you watch this movie 453 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: at the beginning, I feel like it will feel almost 454 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: like a lower production, less thought out teen drama. But 455 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: it gets a lot better And I ended up really 456 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: enjoying this movie because it reminded me of a lot 457 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: of things. I think this movie probably now is being 458 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: compared to a modern day Mean Girls I feel like 459 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: it's Mean Girls mixed with the style of Never Been Kissed, 460 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: and was also kind of like if American Pie were 461 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: to be made today. So the movie does warrant and 462 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: our rating with some of the sexual stuff in there, 463 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: with some of the language and drug use. So in 464 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: a way, it does feel like a modern take to 465 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: a RATEDAR comedy slash teen drama from the nineties and 466 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: early two thousand's, And I think that is what I 467 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: really ended up liking about this movie is it combined 468 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: that nineties and early two thousand style with modern filmmaking 469 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: and it really worked where I think sometimes when you 470 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: try to do this it could feel kind of cheesy 471 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: or gimmicky, but they were able to do it with 472 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: I would say one, they have great actors, some recognizable 473 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 1: people in their including Sarah Michelle Geller, who I did 474 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: get from her character some cruel intentions vibes. They do 475 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: it with the power of wardrobe and costumes, which was 476 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: really good in this movie, which also kind of made 477 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: me think of Clueless and how important fashion was to 478 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: that movie. That was definitely a big part in Do Revenge. 479 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: And then you also have a lot of memorable characters 480 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: which is also pretty important in a movie like this, 481 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: and that's probably what reminded me of American Pie. There 482 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: were so many unique and funny characters in American Pie 483 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: that really carried that movie, and I think that's exactly 484 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: what Do Revenge did. And then what I felt like 485 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: was the glue in this movie was the soundtrack. It 486 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 1: combined modern music with Olivia Rodrigo and a lot of 487 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: songs you probably heard on TikTok throughout, but also a 488 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: lot of songs from the nineties like Third Eye, Blind, 489 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: Mighty Mighty, Boss, Tones, Harvey Danger. So I think hearing 490 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: those songs and knowing that those were also used and 491 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: some of my favorite movies from the nineties like this, 492 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: it instantly kind of took me back to that. So 493 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: I felt like this movie had those callbacks subtly and 494 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: without having to reference a movie specifically, it did that. 495 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: And since the movie was able to do that subtly, 496 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: it also worked in giving this movie its own voice 497 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: and given this movie its own unique style, which I 498 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: just haven't quite seen a movie nail that yet. And 499 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: there were a lot of funny moments in this movie throughout. 500 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: This movie had really witty writing, which was at the forefront, 501 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: And I think why it does remind me so much 502 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: of Mean Girls, not just because it's set in high school, 503 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: not just because you have girls going after other girls 504 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: and social cliques and people trying to manipulate and sabotage 505 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: other people's lives. I think that's kind of the easy 506 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: part that's identifiable with Mean Girls. But I think it 507 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: reminds me so much of that movie is because of 508 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: the writing. Because of the script which Tina Fay, you know, 509 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: wrote Mean Girls. I felt like that was almost the 510 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: blueprint movie that made this movie successful of having a 511 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: story to tell with the fun plot, some twists and 512 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: some turns and overall just something that is entertaining all 513 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: the way to the very end. Some bring account performances 514 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: in this movie, of course Maya Hawk, who I thought 515 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,719 Speaker 1: her character was a great representation of her acting abilities, 516 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: which I and most familiar with her work on Stranger Things, 517 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: and I really like her character in that, but she 518 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: does play a much different person in this movie, which 519 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: was cool to see her and not think, oh, it's 520 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: just her from Stranger Things again, So she was probably 521 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: my favorite part of this movie. Also, Austin Abrams, who 522 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: you've probably seen a lot of things recently, maybe aren't 523 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: too familiar with his name. He's also in Euphoria. He 524 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: was an Amazon movie I liked called Chemical Hearts, and 525 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: he was in Paper Towns back in I feel like 526 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: he is one of the highlights of this new Hollywood 527 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: blood in their mid twenties. I think he's twenty six 528 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: years old. Maya Hawk is twenty four years old. So 529 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: there is this kind of class of actors right now 530 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: that are really making a name for themselves, and I 531 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: feel are on their way to be a list actors, 532 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: although I don't think the level of a list actor 533 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: will ever be the same ever. Again, there are just 534 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: too many avenues. There are Netflix movies, there are box 535 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: office movies, there are indie movies. There's just different levels 536 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: of fame when it comes to being an actor that 537 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: I don't think we'll ever really achieve that true Hollywood 538 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: a list blockbuster star anymore. So I'm not saying he 539 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: is the next major heartthrob, like the next Brad Pitt 540 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: or Bradley Cooper. I think those kinds of actors we 541 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: won't really see anymore. But I think right now he 542 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: is reaching whatever the height of that level is, and 543 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: then you also have some fun cameos from Sophie Turner 544 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: and like I said earlier, Sarah Michelle Geller, who her 545 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,959 Speaker 1: character in this movie was actually inspired by her character 546 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: and cruel intentions. So the whole thing kind of just 547 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: ties together very nicely. And the entire plot of this 548 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: movie was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock Strangers on a Train. 549 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: And I just found this movie really entertaining, especially because 550 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: I didn't have the highest expectations going in and I 551 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: kind of thought it was just going to be another 552 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: one of these teen style movies that Netflix has been 553 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: putting out that they're just making to appeal to a 554 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: younger audience to get people over into Netflix. But it 555 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: pretty much blew away my expectations and ended up being 556 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies like this in quite a while. 557 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: If this were a movie that came out in the 558 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,719 Speaker 1: mid two thousands around movies like Mean Girls or movies 559 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: like super Bad, I think this would be a major 560 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: movie that would go on to make a lot at 561 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: the box office and be movies that we look back 562 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: on as modern day classics. It just has those elements 563 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: to it, and I think the last thing that I 564 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: really enjoyed about this movie was that Netflix level production. 565 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: It had that kind of film color palette that Netflix 566 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: has been using in their projects, that had those really 567 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: sleek camera movements, and the cinematography in this just really 568 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: kind of took it on another level. Again. Impaired with 569 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: that wardrobe, this movie just had a very fresh, bright, 570 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: and I capturing feel to it. It just kind of 571 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: felt like a nice treat from a brain. So when 572 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: it comes to Do Revenge, I would give it four 573 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: out of five hacked phones. I think if you're a 574 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: fan of R rated comedies, again it does have sexual 575 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: content and drug use, or if you want to feel 576 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: nostalgic without having to watch a reboot, I think that 577 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: is the real headline here, giving me nineties and two 578 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: thousands vibes without being just a cash grab version of 579 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: a movie we've all seen. So that is what I 580 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: think about Do Revenge. It's time to head down to 581 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: movie Mike La Paul. Today we're talking about a new 582 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: biopic coming out on December twenty one. It's called I 583 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: Want to Dance with Somebody, and it is the story 584 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: of Whitney Houston, which I've been waiting for them to 585 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: make this movie for a very long time him. I 586 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: think a lot of what they were trying to really 587 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: get down is who is going to play Whitney Houston. 588 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: And they have Naomi Aki, who I don't feel like 589 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: she entirely looks like Whitney Houston. And the point I 590 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: always make when it comes to any biopic because people 591 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,959 Speaker 1: always get so up in arms about them looking identical 592 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: to the person they're portraying, which is a big part 593 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: of it. But I think a lot of that comes 594 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: with the wardrobe. A lot of that comes with the 595 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: hair and the makeup, and I greatly see that done 596 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: in this trailer. And I think what they really kind 597 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: of believed in when casting Naomi Aki is how much 598 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: she was able to embody Whitney Houston, her on stage presence, 599 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: the way that she speaks, which is way more important 600 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: than looking like her. And I mean, Naomi Aki is 601 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: British and I had no idea by watching this trailer, 602 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: So when it comes to the casting here, I think 603 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: they did a really great job with her. If they 604 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: have people who were close to Witney Houston and said 605 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: when they saw her audition they were blown away, I 606 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: think that speaks volumes above anything else that some troll 607 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: is saying in the YouTube comments. So before I get 608 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: into what I think about what this movie will possibly 609 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: do for the legacy of Witney Houston and whether I 610 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: think this will be a good adaptation of her life 611 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: or not, here's just a little bit of the I 612 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: want to Dance with Somebody trailer. What's your name again? Whatny? 613 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Tuster? My dream sing? What I want to sing, be, 614 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: how I want to be when every party which is 615 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:44,239 Speaker 1: big an audiences, I can't common criticism of you. Your 616 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: music isn't black enough. Look, I don't know how to 617 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: sing black. I don't know how to Sam white either, 618 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: I know how to sing. So this will be Naomi 619 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: Anki's biggest role today. I know her merrily as Jano 620 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: from Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker, and I think 621 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: nailing the role of Whitney Houston is a role of 622 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: a lifetime now. I often thought that I was a 623 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 1: fan of music biopics growing up. I always just felt 624 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: like they are my favorite because I love music so 625 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: much too growing up, But kind of looking back on them, 626 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: they're really only been a handful that I would even 627 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: consider my favorite movies. Out of the hundreds and hundreds 628 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: that get made and growing up more seeing people like 629 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 1: Elton John or Freddie Mercury get their treatment, which the 630 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: writers of Bohemian Rhapsody also wrote this movie, which is interesting. 631 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes they just feel a little bit rushed. 632 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: They kind of gloss over a lot of the main 633 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: points of their life in order to make them seem 634 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: like the biggest thing ever, which is fine. I think 635 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,240 Speaker 1: we watched these movies because we are fans of their music, 636 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: and especially when it comes to icons like Whitney Houston, 637 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: I just feel like sometimes they're a little bit rushed 638 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: and don't get in to a lot of the struggles 639 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: that these artists have gone through to get and to 640 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: feel more gratifying when they do end up reaching those 641 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: big moments, And especially with the life like Whitney Houston, 642 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: who obviously we all know the tragedy she had throughout 643 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 1: her life what ended up leading to her death. It's 644 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 1: a very sad story and it kind of comes down 645 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: to what kind of movie the filmmakers want to make, 646 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 1: and with this one, I was actually kind of happy 647 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: that the trailer didn't focus on that, because if they 648 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: put that at the forefront for Whitney Houston. I think 649 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: it would be kind of discrediting a lot of the 650 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: great things in your career and focusing on some of 651 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 1: the positive with her. But I do think when you 652 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: make a movie like this, if they do completely gloss over, 653 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: that it won't feel like it's fully telling her story. 654 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: And this movie does have a very polished and a 655 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: very I don't want to say, like lifetime movie feel 656 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: to it, but it does feel very bright throughout the 657 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: trade alert. And some of the parts that I don't 658 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: like in this trailer is that the c g I 659 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: is so distracting, and when creating a movie of somebody 660 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 1: who has dealt with some very hard things in their life, 661 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: I feel like the c g I kind of takes 662 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: out any realness or rawness to this trailer that I 663 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: was kind of expecting. So I hope that this movie 664 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: didn't kind of cut some corners of not using some 665 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 1: of the same original sets, or maybe some of those 666 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 1: bigger concerts would be easier to replicate with the power 667 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: of a green screen, which kind of looks like what 668 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,800 Speaker 1: they did when recreating that iconic scene of her singing 669 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: the national anthem at the Super Bowl, which is hands down, 670 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: I think the best performance of that song by any 671 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 1: famous person ever. And not to say that movies like 672 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: Bohemian Rhapsody didn't do the same thing the recreating live 673 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: aid with the power of c g I as well. 674 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: I know that movies do this sometimes we just don't notice, 675 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: but it is so noticeable in this trailer that I 676 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 1: hope it's just not distracting throughout the entire thing. So 677 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: aside from that c g I, I think this movie 678 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: does look promising as a big studio biopic, because, let's 679 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: be real, they rarely get it right. But even with 680 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: movies like Elvis being very theatrical and almost fairytale like, 681 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: I think if that style is made apparent throughout the 682 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: entire movie, and if it is supposed to be that theatrical, 683 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: they kind of have to establish that early on. It 684 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: can't go back and forth between giving us this realistic, 685 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 1: set in the normal world type of movie and then 686 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: pulling us into some c g I that really takes 687 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: us out of it, and then in this movie. The 688 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: other thing I do like that they are actually using 689 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: Whitney Houston's real life voice. They aren't having Naomi Aki 690 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: or anybody else recreated they are using her real vocals, 691 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: which is really important for a singer like Whitney Houston, 692 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: because nobody sounded like her, nobody could even attempt to 693 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 1: recreate those vocals. So I think keeping some authenticity to 694 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 1: the movie and really doing her justice as a person 695 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,240 Speaker 1: and as an artist. I'm glad they decided to actually 696 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: use her singing voice. And where Naomiacki really comes in, 697 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 1: it's just having to embody her essence on stage and 698 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: in interviews and shedding light to her life story that 699 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: I hope we are able to learn a lot from 700 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 1: watching this movie. So I want to Dance with Somebody 701 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: comes out in theaters on December one. This links addition 702 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: of movie laws and that's going to do it for 703 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: another episode here of the podcast before I hop out 704 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,959 Speaker 1: of here.

Thanks for another great episode that's from Rachel. 717 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: So thanks Rachel.

But if you missed 721 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: that episode, it's a couple of episodes back where I 722 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: gave you one good comedy movie to check out in 723 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 1: another similar comparable movie that is a bad comedy. So 724 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: if you missed that one, just go back a couple 725 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: episodes in the feed and check that out.
